I have a cornucopia

Chapter 149 Everyone looks at each other, the color of the world is like dust

Nanjing.

Sanshan Street.

"There's something wrong with this smell!"

Yang Feng was wearing a scholar's robe and a long beard on his mouth, waving his folding fan and looking at the depressed streets.

Of course, what he said was wrong was not because the largest commercial street in Nanjing was too depressed...

It tastes wrong if it's not depressed.

Zuo Liangyu's 30,000 troops had only been in this city for less than half a month, and they had already turned this city, which can be said to be one of the most prosperous cities in the world, into a ghostland in broad daylight. One reason is that there is another city that is comparable to Nanjing, and may even be more prosperous, which is Suzhou hundreds of miles away. This is currently the only top city in the world. Its population alone exceeds that of most individual countries in Europe, and the same is true for its economy.

Especially Suzhou.

It can even be called an industrial city in a sense.

Let him withdraw from Nanjing.

This is not right.

The little princess was amazed at the miracles of his skin care products!

Do you want Shi Kefa to help him?
You are here with 30,000 troops, why don't you just go and get it?
And Nanjing is in good order...

Then the hard-earned money will be divided up by these bastards. It is even possible that the small warlords in Huguang who are attached to him will kill his whole family and take his place happily. He will not understand this result. Then he What are you doing?
"Isn't he really a person with ideals and ambitions?"

Really.

Half of Suzhou city is devoted to the textile industry.

If Zuo Liangyu is really just for money, then this city will not only become a hell on earth, but at least it will be full of dead bodies. He is not stupid, and he is surrounded by powerful enemies, not to mention Yang Feng, but also Huang Degong People like Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo will turn into beasts in front of tens of millions of taels of silver.

If he didn't listen, that would be rebellion and rebellion. Then he would ask Yang Feng to mobilize troops to attack him, let He Tengjiao capture Zuo Mengeng who stayed in Wuchang, and let people like Huang Degong and Gao Jie follow Yang Feng and beat him up. This would be coercing the emperor. To make the princes happy!

Yang Feng shook his folding fan and sighed.

Yang Fenglao looked at them with interest.

The textile industry with hydraulic machinery is also an industry!
It would still be almost 150 years before Europeans evolved into the steam engine age!

If you don't listen, you are rebellious.

What's more, Yang Feng is definitely better than him.

He is indeed the strongest among the four towns, but he is not strong enough to withstand the attack from the three towns.

And he brought 30,000 people with him.

Let him lead troops into Sichuan to pursue Zhang Xianzhong.

Then he led his troops and left directly.

Without even decent skin care products, how can skin resist wind, sand and ultraviolet rays?

And it won't be just for him.

As for what Yang Feng said is wrong, it is that the city is not chaotic enough at present...

Zuo Liangyu will have one, Shi Kefa will have one, and He Tengjiao will also have one...

Although this word is very strange, for a city occupied by warlords, there has not been a female body covered with bruises on the streets, and the ditches have not been blocked by dead bodies, which is considered to be in good order. But now Nanjing is just about soldiers robbing, molesting women, forcing nobles to send beautiful women, and extorting some money. This is really abnormal. All this only proves that Zuo Liangyu is not just interested in money. He is waiting for what he wants. But the problem is that all he can wait for is Li Zicheng's imperial edict ordering him to get out of Nanjing.

I am righteous.

Therefore, if Zuo Liangyu delays like this, the final result can only be that he will be beaten by hungry wolves holding high the imperial edict.

Holding the emperor hostage to order the princes!

Gentlemen.

There are more than twenty such hereditary noble families in Nanjing City. Even if some Ruchang families were later renewed, there are not only these princes and princes in Nanjing City.

As long as you let go and learn from Li Zicheng, you can get this money quickly in less than three days.

The Xu family would have no pressure to shell out two million.

However, he was a little surprised to find that the soldiers on the left next to him were all very honest. Not only did no one come forward to tease this beautiful woman who could easily make them lose their minds, but the leading officer even looked a little groveling...

Yang Feng's letter to Li Zicheng has been sent, but due to the distance and the fact that the stations along the way were somewhat damaged by the war, it will take at least ten days before Yang Feng can get his imperial edict.

Those hereditary commanders.

Moreover, what he calls the strongest is actually the various miscellaneous people who come to feed him. People like Ma Jinzhong and Hui Dengxiang are very loyal to him. If they really need to stab him in the back, these guys will not hesitate at all. So what he needs to do is to be quick. After completing the raid on Nanjing, there is no need to consider the issue of face or the subsequent land washing. He can directly lead his troops into the houses of those distinguished nobles, and then you can choose between the money and the stick. As for the outcome, there will be no suspense. These nobles in Nanjing have long been useless. If they don't pay for the money, they will be taken out one by one to bleed. Even if they can't bleed even one-tenth, the eight million he wants will be obtained.

The eunuchs headed by Han Zanzhou.

"Get out of the way!"

Just eight million.

Taking these eight million taels back, Ma Jinzhong and Prime Minister Hui Deng are his dogs, and they will wag their tails at him without hesitation. This is what a warlord with a normal IQ should do. As for Zuo Liangyu, regardless of the war, his performance from the beginning to the present shows that he not only has a normal IQ, but is even very cunning, but now he is doing stupid things.

There was a scolding from behind.

Li Zicheng would happily issue imperial edicts one after another and then beat Zuo Liangyu with a big stick of righteousness.

He turned his head in surprise and saw dozens of house slaves coming on horseback. Among the house slaves was a pair of very talented and beautiful men and women. The man was wearing a blouse with more decorations, while the woman was obviously It can be called stunning. Of course, to Yang Feng, she is just very beautiful. After all, as a modern person, there is nothing she has never seen before. No matter how beautiful you are in this era, you will still have to face the erosion of time...

"Chaozong?"

he said uncertainly.

The man immediately turned his head and looked at him blankly.

But he still took the horse with him.

"As expected, it's Chaozong, it's me, keep your word. We said goodbye five years ago, and I don't want to see you today!"

Yang Feng said in surprise.

The man also had a sudden realization and quickly dismounted and came over.

"Brother Shouxin, why are you here? It's been five years since I didn't want to see you again."

He raised his hand and said.

The beautiful woman also dismounted and walked over very gently.

"Xiangjun, this is the trustworthy brother I often call you!"

The man quickly introduced.

Well, this is Hou Fangyu and Li Xiangjun, but they are the ones who can make Zuo Liangyu's subordinates treat each other with courtesy. After all, his father and Zuo Liangyu have a close diplomatic relationship. Of course, he definitely still didn't know who the guy in front of him was, but everyone was a scholar, and Yang Feng looked like he was from an aristocratic family. It was normal to have seen him at a party five years ago and then forgotten about him.

You can't ask at this time, just pretend that you really know him.

Li Xiangjun quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Everyone looks at each other in a beautiful way, and the color of the world is like dust!"

Yang Feng looked at her face, then waved his folding fan to show off. Hou Fangyu and Li Xiangjun's eyes suddenly widened.

"As soon as Brother Shouxin came out with these words, all the works of previous generations turned into dust."

Hou Fangyu exclaimed.

"It's funny, it's funny, it's just that when I see Mr. Xiang, I can't help myself."

Yang Fu said shamelessly.

Of course, Hou Fangyu wouldn't care about him teasing Li Xiangjun. This is not called teasing among literati. It is an elegant matter. Even if he gives Li Xiangjun to Yang Feng, it is still an elegant matter. We are all literati and gifting each other a used one. Concubines and concubines are all elegant things. Of course, they may also give each other a used book boy.

That would be more elegant.

"Brother Shouxin also came to Nandu to prepare for the provincial examination?"

Hou Fangyu asked tentatively.

"Of course, now that Sangzi has been stolen by a traitor, he has become homeless. Fortunately, he still has some property in Suzhou, so he can only temporarily live in Suzhou. Originally, he thought he could pass the examination in Yingtianxiang and comfort his parents who were killed, but he didn't expect this in Nandu. He didn’t escape this disaster either.”

Yang Feng said sadly.

"Keep your word and don't worry. The Yingtian Township Examination will definitely go as scheduled, and the Ming Dynasty will also regain its brightness. Just wait for a month or two."

Hou Fangyu said with a smile.

At the same time, he also looked very mysterious, almost as if he had made it clear that he had some secrets.

"What does Chaozong mean?"

Yang Feng said doubtfully.

"Brother Shouxin, just wait."

Hou Fangyu said obviously proudly.

"It's best this way. I'm about to go to Bo Zi's place. Let's meet up another day."

Yang Feng said.

When Hou Fangyu heard that he was going to Ji Yingzhong's house, he no longer had any doubts. He just thought that he had had one or two interactions in the past but had forgotten about it. At this time, there were many scholars fleeing from the north to the south. Someone from Beizhili was unwilling to shave his head and change his clothes, someone from Li Zicheng's control area was disdainful of surrendering to be a bandit, someone from Sichuan and Huguang had escaped, how could someone like him, who had such a wide circle of contacts, remember all the people he had known before.

The two of them said goodbye immediately, and Yang Feng looked at Li Xiangjun with a strange smile.

The latter is somewhat shy.

Yang Feng looked at her back with some regret.

However, among the several endings circulated by Li Xiangjun, the most realistic and reasonable ending is actually that after being brought back to the Hou family by Hou Fangyu, because he was not allowed to tolerate Hou Xun and Hou Fangyu's real wife...

Of course he has a real wife.

How could someone from the Hou family marry a woman like her?

She can only be a concubine.

Then she was driven to the Hou family's firewood garden, and she was not allowed to raise her child even after she gave birth. Finally, she died miserably in the Hou family's firewood garden.

Talents and beauties are all lies. The only one among the beauties of Qinhuai who married Liu Rushi was Shui Tailiang. But he was remarrying, and even this was a lot of pressure, all because of his fame. . Even Gong Dingzi and Gu Hengbo were left as concubines. The latter was indeed ordered by the Qing Dynasty, but it was not because she was Gong Dingzi's official wife, but because the wife herself had an imperial decree from the Ming Dynasty and did not bother to accept it from the Qing Dynasty, so she was given a concubine. .

In fact, it was Gong Dingzi and his wife who humiliated me, the Qing Dynasty.

Yang Feng, who watched Li Xiangjun go away, then went directly to a carriage that had been waiting for him.

"This is not right, Zuo Liangyu wants to do something big."

After entering the carriage, he said directly to Yang Guanguang who was waiting inside.

"It's really big. They want to get rid of His Majesty. I just found out last night."

Yang Guanguang said also very directly.

"Huang Shu and Hou Xun designed it for him. He raided Nanjing and pretended that he was here to steal money. You and Huang Degong, Gao Jie and others will definitely not agree, and then they used Li Zicheng's imperial edict to resist the edict and expel him. Zuo Liangyu used you to come On the pretext of robbing them of their money, he coaxed his subordinates to work together with him. When you besiege Nandu, he will defend Nandu. His son led the army and called on all the ministries to move east on the pretext that you were robbing them of their money. The Donglin Party also encouraged regiment training in various places. Reinforce them on the grounds that you have colluded with Li Zicheng, and you have probably already contacted Dorgon. At that time, Duduo will attack Dezhou again. As long as you return and give up attacking Nanjing, they will immediately make peace with Dorgon and welcome the prince south. Then find a eunuch and a maid who said she had escaped from Xi'an, and lied that His Majesty had been killed, and then the prince would succeed him. If Dorgon refused to return the prince, then King Lu would supervise the country.

But Dorgon should return it to the prince. They are short of food. As long as food is given to them here, Dorgon will agree. "

He went on to say.

"How do they send it to Dorgon?"

Yang Feng said doubtfully.

It is normal to exchange grain for the prince here, but the problem is that it cannot be transported.

"They probably haven't thought about it."

Yang Guanguang said with a smile.

Indeed, we cannot expect guys like the Donglin Party to have such a thorough plan.

However, their design is still in line with their temperament. In the final analysis, the key to the current situation is that Li Zicheng holds the emperor in order to control the princes. In other words, Chongzhen is still alive, and the emperor is still alive, which makes everyone embarrassed. This gave Li Zicheng the advantage of holding the emperor hostage over the princes, allowing Li Zicheng to do whatever he wanted with righteousness. The easiest way to get rid of this situation was to change the emperor.

It wasn't actually that difficult originally.

As long as Yang Feng is willing, he can replace the prince at any time.

But the problem is that Yang Feng doesn’t want to!

This made them feel very uncomfortable.

So only in this way.

If Yang Feng doesn't do it, let Zuo Liangyu do it.

And the success rate of this plan is actually not low.

First, they have the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and second, the silver can inspire the courage of Zuo Liangyu's men. If it is a big business of competing for eight million taels of silver, Zuo Liangyu's men will share the same hatred. After all, taking money from others is like killing one's parents. For Zuo Liangyu's men, Marshal Zuo has already robbed them of eight million taels. However, these bastards led by Yang Feng are jealous and colluded with Li Zicheng to attack Nanjing under the banner of imperial edict, trying to steal more from Zuo Liangyu. Take this money.

How can Zuo Liangyu's so-called 800,000-strong army endure it?

Fight these dogs.

They have an advantage upstream and can move quickly down the river.

At the same time, the Donglin Party can mobilize the Jiangnan gentry to help Zuo Liangyu with group training. This is why Zuo Liangyu dares to get the support of Shui Tailiang. This means that the Jiangnan gentry will support him. As for Dorgon, even if they are not well contacted, they will take action. Who would miss such an opportunity?

At that time, he could not defeat Nanjing from the front, and the Qing army attacked again later. Qiu Lei might trick him, and he would be attacked from both sides. In this situation, he could only compromise.

At least in the eyes of the person who designed this plan, he could only compromise.

It's nothing more than giving him some compensation.

Doesn't he just want money?

What a big deal!
Couldn't the wealth of Nanjing's nobles satisfy both him and Zuo Liangyu?
"Damn, they are all very good at playing!"

Yang Feng sighed with emotion.
