Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 286 In this world, who do you rely on? (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

"Mr. Lizhou, Mr. Tinglin, Mr. Chuanshan, Mr. Shunshui, Brother Sanhao, Brother Fufu, gentlemen present, what kind of person do you think the Third Prince Zhu is? Is he running away right? Who should we rely on in this world?"

At this moment, the moon and stars are sparse, the cold wind is howling, the outer city of Jinling, the bank of Mochou Lake, and the residence of the King of England.I don't know when I returned to Nanjing. Li Zhongshan, known as Mr. Mochou, sat on the table in a Confucian robe.That's what he asked.

Of course, Mr. Mo Chou couldn't hide the matter of the third prince Zhu's "Northern Hunting"—the Liu Shuochuan who kept Zhu Cijiong running was "tied" by Mr. Mo Chou to the cause of Ming Fuming, and the third prince Zhu's favorite concubine Yang Ziyun was Yang Xiaohuan's half-sister.Of course, Mr. Mo Chou knew every move of this future Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

As for Geng Jingzhong's rebellion, he can guess.

Now Wu Sangui has become the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and no longer respects the third prince Zhu as his master.There was another civil strife in the Qing Dynasty, whether it was Kangxi, Fuquan or Shunzhi, it is estimated that they have lost the idea of ​​​​unifying the world, and it would be good if they can maintain a third of the world.On the Ming side, because there was a Jiangxi camp of the Qing Dynasty trapped in Anqing, Jiujiang, Nanchang, etc., relying on the dangerous terrain of Anqing and Jiujiang to resist stubbornly, so the power of Li Fuchen and Li Zhongxiao was temporarily restrained, and the Nanjing side looked relatively empty.

At the same time, Geng Jingzhong recruited Qing officials such as Yue Le, Li Zhifang, and Fan Chengmo. In addition, the former governor of Fujian who came from Fuzhou after the road from Fujian to Nanjing was opened up, and the army led by the current Fujian observer Liu Bingzheng also arrived in Nanjing.This caused Geng Jingzhong's strength to expand several times at once, and his army in Nanjing had increased to tens of thousands.

At least on paper, Geng Jingzhong's strength in Nanjing has far overwhelmed the three major halls.Moreover, the northern king Liu Jinzhong is Geng Jingzhong's former subordinate. Although he is now a king, he still regards himself as Geng Jingzhong's old man.His concubine Shang Shuying is also the sister of Geng Jingzhong's confidant Shang Zhixin, so for Geng Jingzhong, Liu Jinzhong is undoubtedly his.

With this calculation, now is undoubtedly the best time for Geng Jingzhong to rebel!

So Mr. Mo Chou and Li Zhongshan knew it by pinching his fingers!
However, when the Third Prince Zhu heard the news that Geng Jingzhong was about to rebel, Li Zhongshan was a little surprised by his reaction. He originally thought that Emperor Ming Xian might ascend to the top. After all, there were still 10,000+ semi-armed Chinese and national scholars in Nanjing.Unexpectedly, the son of the Chongzhen emperor would simply come to the north by boat, and asked Liu Shuochuan to prepare a fast boat for him, so that he could sneak out of Nanjing before Geng Jingzhong launched an attack.

There is really no one with this cleverness!This is a genius!

After receiving the news of "Ding Wang Beishou" sent by Liu Shuochuan, Li Zhongshan was not in a hurry to chase the future Ming emperor, but called the great Confucianism who was a guest in his Mochou Lake palace, Lu Sanhao Lu Zhongtang who stayed behind in Yingtian, and Chen Yonghua who sneaked back to Nanjing like him to discuss this matter together. We have to discuss whether it is better for the king to die in Sheji, or the king Wanli Dun?

After Li Zhongshan asked this sentence, everyone present had a calm and indifferent expression. They are puppets in the first place!Can you still expect a puppet to do something like the emperor guarding the country and the king dying?He didn't even know the number of military training and civilian troops in Nanjing, and how powerful they were. Who would he listen to?
He doesn't know anything, when will he wait if he doesn't run away?
Of course, he didn't know that he couldn't run away, so he went north if he wanted to?How can it be?He, Emperor Xian, is full of loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty who are worse than Geng Jingzhong!

Everyone is "bad loyalty, bad loyalty", let him run away?

Huang Zongxi looked around. He and Li Zhongshan had the most common language. The two of them, the old and the young, were not good people, so they got along very well.The guidelines for the Nanjing Incident were decided by him and Li Zhongshan outside Anqing City.So at this moment, he had to speak first to guide the thoughts of other "bad loyal ministers". He looked at Li Zhongshan and said with a smile, "Third prince, he is just a clay puppet on the temple. He was born to enjoy the blessings of wealth and honor, but he has gone through hardships and dangers, so he has long looked down upon him.

Huang Zongxi. The old traitor!

And what he opposed was not Chongzhen, Hongguang, Shunzhi or Kangxi, but all the emperors, kings, tsars, Caesars, grand dukes, sultans, and emirs in the world. His line is to empty the hereditary monarch, and let the non-hereditary virtuous ministers manage the country in the future!

Mr. Chuanshan Wang Fuzhi is also an old rebel. In his "Yellow Book" (the title of which is no longer known), he proposed "Don't doubt the world with one person, and don't take the world with one person."Although not as radical as Huang Zongxi, he is undoubtedly a rebel at the theoretician level!

At his level, after listening to Huang Zongxi's speech, of course he understands what Mr. Mo Chou and Mr. Lizhou are doing?

Those two never thought about "Ming Jun" and "Sage Monarch" at all, and wanted to establish the rules of "Xu Jun".From now on, the founding emperor of the "post-Ming Dynasty" has been acting as a virtual monarch, and the next generation will never think about being a real one.

And to ensure that this gentleman is false, then we can't let a descendant of the Zhu family who is too capable or too courageous climb up to that top spot. So they are mostly evaluating the third prince Zhu on the basis of Geng Jingzhong's rebellion.

If the third prince Zhu behaves like his father Chongzhen, if the king wants to die, then die!

Anyway, the third prince Zhu has a son!

Fortunately, the third prince Zhu performed well and escaped!It's really useless, and I'm so timid!This is "good devotion to the emperor"!It is much better than the Han Xiandi who always wanted to revive the Han Dynasty in history.

If you want to be Xu Jun, you have to be like him!
It's really the same as Zhu Yuanzhang, who can lift him up?
Although Mrs. Wang is not very satisfied with such a weak king, but now the new Da Ming is obviously going to follow the route of Lord Xu, so...so be it!
"The third prince is not the one who created it," Wang Fuzhi thought, "but if the court can follow the leadership of the world, use the salary and position of the world, and publicize the sages of the world, it can also return the people of the world to a peaceful world."

"Jiang Zhai (Wang Fuzhi's name) is bad! Those who protect the world, the humbleness of the common people and the responsibility are not heard! Those who put the world down, the people and scholars of the country are responsible for plotting!"

The one who spoke was another old traitor, Mr. Tinglin Gu Yanwu!
He, Wang Fuzhi, and Huang Zongxi became the three gentlemen in the late Ming Dynasty, and they all had similar ideas, and they wanted to rebel against the emperor!
That's why the three of them and Mr. Mochou Li Zhongshan can get together!
In the future, Mr. Lizhou, Mr. Chuanshan, Mr. Tinglin, and Mr. Mochou will definitely be listed as the "Four Mr. Fuming"!

That Wu Sangui wanted to ask Wang Fuzhi to come out of the mountain to help him, but he didn't go at all, he slipped directly to Guangdong, and later went to Nanjing with Huang Zongxi.

And Gu Yanwu was once dragged to Beijing by Xiong Cilu, but he didn't want to praise Kangxi's way of life, and didn't conspire with each other!
After hearing that Nanjing was about to hold a Fuming Conference, he also slipped over.It was only after he came here that he found out that he had found an "organization"!

Now that he has found the "organization", of course he can understand the deployment of Li Zhongshan and Huang Zongxi - the decisive force should not be the powerful ministers, but the people and scholars of the country!
Because a powerful minister may become a monarch, once a powerful minister becomes a monarch, it may be "one person doubts the world, and the world is private to one person".

So what Mr. Mochou Li Zhongshan wants should not be "eighteen sons to rule the world", but to become the first man of the Ming Dynasty and the chief scholar of the Ming Dynasty!
And if the Chinese and national scholars want to dominate the world, they must have the corresponding martial arts!
So this Geng Jingzhong rebellion is also a test of the martial arts virtues of the people of Nanjing!

"Mr. Mochou," Zhu Shunshui, an old man with white beard and hair, but a hale and hearty spirit, asked at this time, "If you are to be a major task in response to the difficulties of the kingdom of heaven, do you want to set up a shogunate and govern the world in the name of a general?"

Li Zhongshan, the great general of the Ming Dynasty who conquered barbarians?Li Zhongshan thought of this name, smiled lightly, and said: "Well, if the people of the country can use it, then we will rule the world for the people of the country; if the people of the country are not available, then we will rule the world for the powerful!"

Zhu Shunshui said with a smile: "From my point of view, let's share the world with the tyrants of the country. With the salary and status of the world, it is of course good to publicize the sages of the world, but without the money and efforts of the tyrants from all directions, the world will not know who it belongs to. Mr. Mochou, if we can win Geng Jingzhong, we have to think about this issue carefully."

Li Zhongshan said with a smile: "Mr. Shunshui reminded that once Geng Jingzhong is eliminated, let's discuss this matter at the Fuming Conference!"

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Yonghua again.

Chen Yonghua said: "King Ying, the news that Geng Jingzhong is going to rebel has been circulating in Yingtian City for several days, and the militia is also ready! As long as Geng Jingzhong sends troops, at most one day, there will be [-] militiamen in Yingtian City who can fight!"

Chen Yonghua also served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials. His Ministry of Officials was in charge of selling fame and managing the status of nationals and scholars.Therefore, he is in charge of the mobilization system of the Yingtian People's Army.

Li Zhongshan secretly recalled him, the purpose is to mobilize the Nanjing militia to suppress Geng Jingzhong.

"One day." Li Zhongshan looked at Lu Sanhao again, "Sanhao, do we have a day?"

"Yes!" Lu Sanhao replied decisively, "Everything has been arranged properly. As long as Geng Jingzhong sends troops, the Yingtian regiment will be sure to block them in Xi'anmenwai Street, Changfu Street, and Taipingli."

The three place names he reported were the streets outside the three city gates to the west of the Nanjing Imperial City. As long as these three streets were blocked, Geng Jingzhong's rebellion would be a bit difficult to create!

But Geng Jingzhong has [-] troops in his hands after all!

It seems that it is not easy to win this battle in Nanjing!
Nanjing Imperial City, East Prince's Mansion.

Geng Jingzhong, the Eastern King of the Ming Dynasty, was already dressed neatly at this time, and stood outside the main hall of his palace, looking at the officers under his command standing upright with lanterns in the square. There were hundreds of men, including those from the direct line of the Geng family, and those brought by Yue Le, Li Zhifang, Fan Chengmo, Liu Bingzheng, and Shang Shuying.

Geng Jun from the south of the Yangtze River and the key officers of the former Qing Army are now gathered here—for this rebellion, people like Geng Jingzhong and Yue Le are willing to go all out!The elite soldiers from the Jiangnan Geng Army and the former Qing Army have already arrived in Nanjing!

A total of [-] elites are waking up and eating breakfast now, and hundreds of chief officers of each battalion and team have been called to Geng Jingzhong's palace to receive the rewards-now the rewards have been collected, but they did not leave, but waited quietly.

Although Geng Jingzhong is already the heart of the Eastern King, everyone knows it!

But these people were not passers-by—they immediately entered the imperial city after arriving in Nanjing, and except for Geng Jingzhong's cronies, no one else had ever gone out.So they don't quite know that Geng Jingzhong "will live forever". However, the army was mobilized at night and rewards were given out. It seems that they are going to rebel!
It's just that this Geng Jingzhong has already opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and now he is against what?Anti-Ming and Restoration?
The people below saw Geng Jingzhong coming out of the brightly lit hall fully clothed, and beside him were Yue Le, Li Zhifang, Fan Chengmo, Liu Bingzheng, Shang Shuying, all in armor, and each of them became energetic, and they all stared at Geng Jingzhong's mouse face which was flickering by the light of the lantern.

At this time, Geng Jingzhong spoke in a deep voice, his voice was high-pitched and short, shaking everyone's eardrums: "Wu Sangui, the king of the west, has proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an, and the name of the founding country is Zhou, and he is called the emperor of Zhou! Now all the prefectures and prefectures in the west are responding in groups. Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Hubei, and Hunan are all owned by the Great Zhou! Daming lost half of its land overnight, which means that its vitality is exhausted, and Ming Zuo will die!
I have already received a letter from the Emperor of the Great Zhou. His old man asked me to raise troops against the Ming Dynasty and share the Great Ming General Mountain together. "

He waved his hand violently: "I didn't want to agree, but the third prince Zhu didn't care about political affairs. He only knew about arrogance and lust. After entering Jinling, he hid in his Dingwang mansion and stayed with women all day long. How can such a foolish king revive the Ming Dynasty? And the princes of all parties, such as the southern king Li Fuchen, the British king Li Zhongshan, the loyal king Li Laishun, and the Yi king Zheng Jing. Are you loyal to him? We are all the best warriors in the world, shouldn't we fight for ourselves? Wu Sangui is our role model!"

He spoke more and more, and his voice became louder and louder. Every voice seemed to burst out from his chest!
"When I was in Beijing, I heard the prophecy about the Son of Heaven's body and ears, but I didn't know what it meant. Today I finally found out! The Son of Heaven's body means the emperor who occupies one side, and the word "Ear Fire" is me! This shows that I have a destiny! It is God's will that I take the place of the Ming Dynasty and separate the south of the Yangtze River and achieve the success of Sun Wu. So I, Geng Jingzhong, have now decided to rise up like Wu Sangui, and lead you to create the foundation of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and we will be prosperous for a hundred years! , seeking wealth?"

When this question was asked, Geng Jingzhong's voice trembled a little.

This is rebellion!
Although it is not the first time he has rebelled.

But this time, if it is done well, he will have three points in the world, and he will be the emperor!
Hundreds of military officers outside the main hall were also excited, and they were finally waiting for them!
Most of them and the third prince Zhu, Li Fuchen, Li Zhongshan, etc. are not from the same way. Let alone the third prince Zhu, the son of Emperor Chongzhen!It was Li Fuchen, who was also a combination of rogues and loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Although he surrendered to Azig before the fall of Datong City, it was a forced surrender. God only knows what he thought.

So Li's father and son are actually a big part of the Shanshaan thief that Wu Sangui collected, but the small part is a little different.He is the remnant party of the Datong Ming Army, not the remnant party of Chuang, Xian, and Yongli.

And now those who follow Geng Jingzhong, except for the Liu family army brought by Shang Shuying, some of them are from the Yongwei Battalion system, the others are all from the Chen Han army or simply from the Eight Banners Manchuria and Eight Banners Mongolia.

It is difficult for people like them to find a suitable position in Da Ming's system. They are unreliable elements and will be squeezed out sooner or later!
And they were indeed not loyal to Daming!
This is even worse than Huo Lu Bu. Huo Lu Bu's godfathers are all loyal and loyal!

"I am willing to follow the East King to plan great things!"

The officers in the yard cheered together!
Geng Jingzhong was excited, and he gritted his teeth and gave the final order: "Order the three armies to go out of Xi'an Gate after a full meal. The enemy is in Dingwang's Mansion!
The herald artillery team, after a stick of incense, began to fire the cannons, and the cannons settled the palace! "

"Whoo!"

Geng Jingzhong was shouting, "The enemy is in Prince Ding's Mansion", but the enemy in Prince Ding's Mansion had already slipped away, and boarded a fast boat bound for Yangzhou last night.

Compared with Li Zhongshan, Third Prince Zhu is still more willing to believe in Chen Yonghua and Chang Mingyuexian's couple. After all, he was rescued by Chang Mingyue's father back then, and the Chang family took care of him secretly for many years. He was really his own.

And that Li Zhongshan always gave Prince Zhu a very dangerous feeling, and he didn't like it very much.

So after boarding the ship last night, he gave the order of tens of thousands of Yangzhou, and then drank a few glasses of dull wine with Yang Ziyun, and then fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't know how long he slept, but he suddenly heard the sound of "rumbling" shelling, and he didn't know the sound of thunder?

The third prince Zhu woke up suddenly, and asked after waking up: "Where are you? Where is the cannon, or is it thunder?"

"Your Majesty!" This is Yang Ziyun's voice, "We are firing artillery at the Imperial City on the Qinhuai River. It is Geng Jingzhong's artillery, and he is shooting the palace!"

"What?" The third prince Zhu was stunned. "Didn't I say to go to Yangzhou? Why did I enter the Qinhuai River? Didn't I throw myself into a trap? Hurry up, turn the bow, let's go to Yangzhou! I'm going to Yangzhou"

"Shh..." Yang Ziyun raised an index finger and placed it in front of his lips, "My lord, listen carefully."

"Listen? What are you listening to?" Third Prince Zhu pricked up his ears, and indeed he heard the voice of Haitao shouting: "Bao Daming, Punish the Thief!"
