Chapter 344 The general came to Beijing and decided to serve!

Seeing that the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China was approaching, the generals led by Damei rushed to Nanjing with their guards.

For example, Yang Heqing, commander of the First Division of the Standing Army, who was responsible for attacking Zhejiang's southern general, and Peng Youyi, commander of the Second Division, who guarded Xuzhou and was responsible for the war in Huaibei and eastern Henan.

Li Dingguo, the commander of the Fifth Division who moved to Shaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong, Shen Wandeng, the commander of the Fourth Division who guarded Yunyang and Nanyang, He Lianyue, the commander of the Third Division who guarded Jingzhou and Xiangxi, and Liu Changhe, the commander of the Yangtze River Navy.

As for the brigade commanders of the standing army, because they needed to be responsible for specific military affairs, very few came to Nanjing.

Suddenly, the great generals gathered in Nanjing!

At the same time, scholars from various provinces who wanted to serve as officials in Dayei also came to Nanjing one after another.

Some of these people have already decided to become officials, but this time they are looking for a way out, getting recommended, and hoping to be awarded the ideal official position.

However, some people are still waiting and watching, wanting to know more about Da'ei's system and see whether Da'ei fits the image of the new dynasty in their minds and whether it can last for a long time.

Most of these scholars came from Jiangxi and Zhejiang.

Because there are now seven provinces under Damei's rule: Nanzhili, Huainan, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang. Among them, only Jiangxi and Zhejiang were captured recently.

Several other provinces had been under Damei's rule for a relatively long time, and some scholars had long since left office.

On the second floor of a restaurant owned by Shaoxing people, Ni Yuanlu, Qi Biaojia, Sun Jiaji, and Lin Lanyou sat by the window, sipping tea while looking out at the crowded streets.

Among the four, the first three are all from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and only Lin Lanyou is from Xianyou, Fujian.

Lin Lanyou was a scholar in the seventh year of Tianqi and a Jinshi in the fourth year of Chongzhen. In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, he went to Huguang Road in Nanjing to supervise the censor.

Later, because he was dissatisfied with Yang Sichang's exercise of power, he and Liu Tongsheng and others wrote three consecutive letters to impeach Yang Sichang. As a result, he was impeached by Yang Sichang's party members and imprisoned. Fortunately, Huang Daozhou and others petitioned for mercy, so he was given a lighter sentence by Chongzhen and demoted to Si San, the inspector of Zhejiang. Member (not in the mainstream).

There was nothing much to do in his position, which was almost a sinecure, so he socialized around and got acquainted with Ni Yuanlu and others who had also been dismissed from office or resigned at home.

When the Yi army captured Zhejiang, although they were all well-known and influential gentry in the area.

However, Qian Qianyi's "Excuse the Ming Dynasty" written by Qian Qianyi had already been introduced to Zhejiang, and some of the deeds of the Wei Army had also been introduced to Zhejiang, which made them understand the Wei Army, so they did not come forward to raise troops to resist the Wei Army.

After learning that Xingmei King Liu Sheng was going to ascend the throne in Nanjing and proclaim himself emperor, they even had the intention of becoming officials, so they made an appointment to come to Nanjing together to find out the reality of the Xingmei tribe.

Ni Yuanlu took a sip of tea, looked out the window and said, "I didn't expect that after Nanjing was captured by the Yi army, not only did the streets not become desolate, but they were even more prosperous than before. It's really rare."

Ni Yuanlu actually cared about the Ming Dynasty in her heart.

He was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, he went to the Imperial Academy to offer wine. He was considered a clean figure. If nothing unexpected happened, he would probably be reused by Chongzhen in the future. As a result, he was dismissed because he was accused of "concubine pretending to be his wife," which made him very depressed.

Unexpectedly, after he returned to his hometown in Shangyu, Shaoxing for a few years, the world would undergo drastic changes one after another.

Not to mention Li Zicheng's Chuang Army, Liu Sheng's Yi Army suddenly appeared, and the dynasty was about to change in the blink of an eye. It was hard for him to accept it.

He originally thought that the Wei army was born in the grass and must not know how to govern, at least not as well as the Ming court and officials.

As a result, when I came to Nanjing this time, I found that the streets of Nanjing have become more prosperous, more orderly, and cleaner than before!

This really surprised him.

At this time, looking out from the window, one can see a group of personal guards on the street. The formation is neat, the soldiers are not squinting, and they are imposing.

This reminded him of the Nanjing Jingying Ming army who used to patrol the streets. Their jackets were shabby and their weapons were not repaired. They walked on the street like ruffians - they didn't dare to go to those who opened shops to fight against the autumn wind, but they would take advantage of them. The small bargains offered by street vendors, such as food and cards, are just ordinary.

Comparing the two, he had great ambitions and had to admit that the Yi army was more like the army of kings.

Sun Jiaji on the side said: "Looking at what Brother Ni said, King Xingmei wants to change the dynasty and is planning to make Nanjing the capital and govern Nanjing better. Isn't it a matter of course?"

Obviously, compared to Ni Yuanlu, Sun Jiaji preferred Wei Jun.

In fact, he was already preparing to retire and came to Nanjing this time to find a career path.

Different choices are naturally due to different encounters.

Sun Jiaji was ten years younger than Ni Yuanlu. He was from Yuyao, Shaoxing. He was a Jinshi in Chongzhen for ten years and became a doctor in the Ministry of War.

In the end, because of his integrity and unwillingness to join forces with the eunuch Gao Qiqian, he was framed.

Emperor Chongzhen did not distinguish right from wrong and had him imprisoned. If it had not been for the rescue by Xu Shiqi, the Minister of Punishment at that time, and others, he would have died in the capital prison.

He came from a family of officials, so he naturally had some affection for the Ming Dynasty, but he was really disappointed with Chongzhen. He was not surprised at all that the Ming Dynasty was in Chongzhen's hands.

Now the Wei army has occupied seven provinces and has the potential to engulf the south. He is only thirty-eight years old, so naturally he does not mind being an official. He can take revenge by showing off his talents and at the same time seek wealth for the family.

Among the other two people, Lin Lanyou came specifically to understand the reality of the Kuei tribe.

If Liu Wei does not seem to be able to survive for a long time, he will return to Fujian and gather troops to resist Wei's army and maintain Ming Zuo.

But now it seems that Liu Wei's governance of the world is much better than he imagined.

After this trip to Nanjing, Lin Lanyou still planned to return to Fujian to travel to Xianyou. However, instead of gathering troops to resist the Wei army, he persuaded his parents and officials in his hometown to change their banners and surrender to the Wei army in time to avoid the ravages of war in his hometown.

As for Qi Biaojia, he was completely pulled over by three people.

He was a family-oriented person. Previously he felt that the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was too dark and it was difficult to achieve anything, so he resigned early and returned home to live a small life as a family.

Being brought to Nanjing this time and gaining a lot of experience, Qi Biaojia felt that it was not a loss.

Since Liu Wei really has the potential to change dynasties, his choice is much easier - he can continue to be a wealthy and idle man at home, or he can serve as an official in the new dynasty and show off his talents and ambitions.

Da da da···

Suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves on the interface. It was not loud, but it still attracted many people's attention and moved out of the way.

But a general of the Yi army passed by with a group of guards.

Then Ni Yuanlu and others heard a table of guests not far away saying in Mandarin with a Huguang accent: "I know this person, he is He Lianyue, the general of the Yi army."

"Oh? Brother Wang, can you tell me about Helian Yue's deeds?"

"I heard that this man was originally a small landowner in Henan Prefecture. Later, due to natural and man-made disasters, he lived in Nanyang and became a mining slave. He was rescued by King Xingmei and became one of his early generals.

When the Tai army went south to Huguang, this man ranked among the top three. Now he serves as a division commander in the Yi army, leading tens of thousands of elite troops to guard Xiangxi and Jingzhou. He is very famous in Huguang! "

"Hiss~ From a mine slave to a general of the new dynasty, such an encounter is a legend!"

"Isn't it just a legend? After a while, King Xingmei will be crowned emperor, and he will definitely reward his civil and military ministers. With Helian Yue's contribution, he can at least be made a count, and he can even be made a marquis!"

Hearing this discussion, Ni Yuanlu and the other four couldn't help showing complicated expressions as they looked at the figure riding away on the tall horse.

The Duke of Marquis.

In the past, many civil servants and generals in the Ming Dynasty had dreamed of it all their lives, or they only dared to think about it in their dreams. Now, a former mining slave can easily obtain it.

It's really enviable!

Sun Jiaji stood up directly and said: "You three, please continue drinking tea here. I am going to visit my friends and find a way to serve King Xingmei!"

After saying that, regardless of the expressions of the three of them, they left the private room.

···

Forbidden City, Hall of Martial Arts.

After Yang Heqing and other five standing army division commanders arrived in Nanjing, Liu Sheng summoned them all to Wuying Hall and held a banquet in honor of them.

Eating is just a formality, so the dishes are very simple, just a few meat dishes, fruits and vegetables, and a bottle of wine.

"In the past year, you have worked hard for our tribe in the north and south. I would like to give you a drink!"

After the banquet began, Liu Sheng stood up and raised his wine glass to toast the five generals.

No one like Yang Heqing dared to show off in front of Liu Sheng, so they all stood up, picked up their wine glasses, and drank a glass of wine.

Liu Sheng looked at the few people and smiled, sat down and waved his hands: "Don't be so formal, everyone, sit down, everyone."

After a few people sat down and had a few mouthfuls of meat and vegetables, he said: "I called you here today mainly to inform the Lord about the matter."

　First more.
