I have a cornucopia

Chapter 176 Temptation
Face...

Mian Shou showed no concern for what happened in Nanjing.

Including the wars in Nanjing and Yangzhou, he had no interest.

In fact, there is nothing to care about in these two wars.

Zuo Liangyu was still dreaming about Dorgon's army flowing down the river in Nanjing. Although Yang Feng had solved this problem, it could be said that Ma Shiying spent almost all his strength during this period to blockade Nanjing, causing Zuo Liangyu to Liangyu still doesn't know the situation outside in the city. I have to say that Lao Ma knows the key points, and judging from the time, it is actually not enough to arouse Zuo Liangyu's suspicion. The key is that Dorgon's previous march south to Hankou was too fast, and then he besieged Wuchang and arrived at the army. Defeat, in fact, it only took more than a month.

Coming soon.

Lose quickly.

At least this time it has not exceeded Zuo Liangyu’s expected time.

As for him taking the initiative, that's a joke. Who is Marshal Zuo? If he liked to take the initiative, he wouldn't be able to survive now.

Chongzhen asked him to be the king of Qin, but he didn't move. How could Dorgon have such great dignity?
His generals and soldiers were very happy in Nanjing City. According to people who escaped from the city, during this period, his generals directly occupied the mansions of those nobles, and then hugged each other happily, pitiful for those who Xungui had to act like a turtle, watching them play with his concubine with a smile on his face. As for the gold and silver treasures in Xungui's house, he had even begun to dig three feet into the ground.

There must be some dead warriors inside.

And the gentry from all over the country also fully supported them.

Chengtian.

But it is said that many palaces in the palace were used by him as warehouses.

As for Liu Liangzuo, he was still besieging Yangzhou.

Liu Zhaoji, Ma Minglu, Zheng Yuanxun and others in the city also always stood firm.

The exact number is unknown.

I, King Pingnan of the Qing Dynasty, had been working for less than three months, and my dream was shattered.

Ten or twenty million is definitely there.

It's just that because of Yang Feng's appearance, Chongzhen issued an imperial edict in advance for various places to hold group training. Moreover, instead of just giving the local gentry the legitimacy to arm their troops, the imperial edict directly clarified that localities could hold group training. Taking advantage of this east wind, almost The club directly turned the private team into an official team, and the people who originally gathered in private became a legal team training.

But it is no longer possible.

This has a military basis.

Even the quality of Xu Dubu is even higher.

In the final analysis, they all came here to rob Yangzhou.

In this case, why bother them?

His five thousand regiment training was originally made up of several groups who had secretly wanted to be armed before, so he learned from Chao Gai in Dongyang, Yiwu and other places, dispersed wealth and gathered customers, and gathered thousands of nearly dead soldiers in advance...

He probably wanted to wait until after Dorgon left and the Qing army still had a thousand men left, he suddenly decided to use the heads of these Qing soldiers to atone for his sins, but he didn't expect to be betrayed, and Dorgon directly killed him. The co-conspirator Xu Qiyuan, the former governor of Yunyang, was killed together, which can be regarded as an unfulfilled ambition. His other brother Wang Chang was not in Xiangyang City at the time, so he got the news and fought out, and has now fled to Yunyang.

If you can't capture it in a day or two, you can insist on continuing to attack. If you can't capture it in a month, people's hearts will start to disperse. Besides, Yangzhou is not the only one around, you can rob it!

There was an endless stream of vehicles transporting gold and silver from these mansions every day. It was very Li Zicheng's style of moving silver back to Xi'an. Finally, these were transported to the imperial city, and Zuo Liangyu personally took charge of the imperial city.

Even if the real Qi Jiajun, that is, the Beiwanan Army, does not have many alive, there must be some alive in Qi Jin's old army.

After all, he is not that strong to begin with...

Of course, almost.

Historically, he raised his arms and 7,000 people followed him.

Even if he wanted to take the initiative in this situation, his generals and soldiers still wouldn't!

But the thousands of dead soldiers are obviously an exaggeration, but they are indeed willing to follow him to raise troops.

Wang Guangen was killed by Dorgon.

"Hey, send someone to tell Wang Guangtai, please forgive me and accept the change!"

It was only because he knew that Dorgon was about to go down the river that he became bolder, and coupled with the temptation to plunder Yangzhou, he finally pieced together such a group of gangsters, but the composition was chaotic, each had its own agenda, and they were like a piece of scattered sand.

In the next half month, Yang Feng continued his pursuit to the north. Dorgon completely gave up the prefectures he had occupied before. After all, it would be impossible not to give up. Unless he led all the Qing troops southward, he would simply stay. Thousands of people can only die. Once Li Zicheng intervenes, he will cut them off in Huguang, and those who have newly surrendered will not hesitate to switch sides and eventually trap them to death, so they simply give up completely and just take away as much looted livestock and grain as possible. Fortunately, most of Yang Feng's men did not have the ability to fight in the field with the main force of the Qing army. Although they could go all the way north with the help of the navy, Wang Yuncheng's cavalry was the only one who could pursue them by land. So in fact, everyone kept a distance and went their own way. Yang Feng took a warship and went upstream along the Han River. After meeting up with Ma Jinzhong's troops who were also ordered to counterattack, he regained Chengtian. As for He Tengjiao, he led Wang Yuncheng and other troops to regain Anlu. Then pursue Suizhou.

Of course, just preparation.

Yang Feng said to Du Yinxi.

Lao Wang actually received a secret letter from his younger brother Wang Guangtai and planned to go to Xiangyang anyway.

After all, Dongyang and Yiwu were originally the source of troops for the Qi Jiajun. Maybe the old men from the Qi Jiajun were still alive!

What's more, reinforcements have arrived.

Therefore, as long as nothing happens in the city, it is almost impossible for them to capture Yangzhou.

There are even people who are dissatisfied with him because he can't attack for a long time.

He is almost the weakest among the four towns.

This is really a sad story.

With the arrival of reinforcements and regiment training from outside, Ma Shiying now has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. Although most of these are a mob, they have no shortage of firearms and rely on the outer city wall to completely seal off the city of Nanjing. In short, one of the two sides is currently enjoying themselves in the city and has no intention to go out, and the other is because most of them are a mob and knowing that Yang Feng has won, he will definitely return to Nanjing next, so there is no need to rush to attack. There is a tacit understanding between the two sides, one to defend the inner city wall and the other to defend the outer wall. The city wall is relatively dry.

Obviously Zhang Guowei and the gentry behind him also wanted to show their strength. After all, they not only had to deal with Liu Liangzuo, but also had to use their strength to deter all those who tried to rob them of their wealth.

The regiments and officers and soldiers from various places who landed in Guazhou have fought against Liu Liangzuo's troops many times, with wins and losses. Especially the regiment shows the advantage of a relatively energetic army against a ragtag army. Of course, it may also be the equipment advantage. , in short, the regiment led by Shen Tingyang and Chen Zilong defeated the enemy many times, and the two sides are now facing off across the Yizhen Canal. Now with the arrival of Zhang Guowei, Zhu Dadian, and especially the Jinhua regiment of Xu Dubu, they are ready to launch a counterattack. Xu Dubu, like Shen and Chen, are the first group of regiments established in Jiangnan after the Shandong regiment.

At this time, an officer came quickly...

"Zi Zhuguo, the imperial edict has arrived!"

He dismounted and saluted.

"Imperial edict, where did it come from, and how did it pass in Xiangyang?"

Yang Feng was stunned for a moment, then reacted...

"Damn, Dorgon reacts very quickly!!"

He said.

"He wants to provoke Li Zicheng to attack us."

Du Yinxi also said solemnly. The imperial edict was of course Li Zicheng's.

But the problem is that Xiangyang is still in the hands of Dorgon, and before that, Chengtian and other prefectures were also in the hands of the Qing army. Fengyang was controlled by Liu Liangzuo. It was impossible for Li Zicheng to get the news about Nanjing in time. Such a short time was not enough for him to know about the prison. The emergence of the country, unless Dorgon specially sent someone to tell him. Moreover, this imperial edict could openly pass through Nanyang and Xiangyang controlled by the Qing army. It also had the tacit approval of Dorgon. Therefore, Dorgon had realized that the emergence of the Nanjing Supervisor was the one who instigated Li Zicheng and Yang Feng to fight. good chance.

Li Zicheng would definitely not accept the emergence of a supervisory state in Nanjing. What he always wanted to avoid was the emergence of a core court in Nanjing.

No matter what.

"Call him over!"

Yang Feng said.

Then an acquaintance was brought over.

"Yang Shaobao, long time no see!"

Gu Junen held the imperial edict and walked with a smile on his face surrounded by dozens of followers.

He was still wearing a red official uniform, and the breast patch on his chest was already in the third grade. He looked very proud of himself. It was obvious that he was still highly regarded by Li Zicheng.

"Say it!"

Yang Feng sat on his short couch and said impatiently.

"Shaobao, this is the imperial decree."

Gu Junen said with a smile.

"You know, isn't it just to receive orders? I used to receive orders this way."

Yang Feng said.

Gu Junen still smiled slightly, and then opened the imperial edict...

"According to the Emperor Chengyun's decree, the Governor of Fengyang, Ma Shiying, disregarded his divine grace and kidnapped Princess Kunxing to supervise the country. This is shocking. Therefore, the Governor of Jiliao and the Crown Prince's Shaobao Yang Feng were captured by the imperial envoys. If there is any resistance, they will be killed without mercy."

He said.

Yang Feng......

"What are you doing Tamar?"

Yang Feng said somewhat messily.

"Shaobao, this is an imperial edict. Although I know that Shaobao and Ma Shiying have a good personal relationship, I ask Shaobao not to abandon the official position for personal reasons. Ma Shiying kidnapped the princess in Nanjing and arrogated the title of supervising the country. To be serious, this is already treason. Your Majesty Lei Lei was furious, so he ordered Shao Bao to capture her for the imperial envoy. As for the princess, she was of course kidnapped and had nothing to do with her. After capturing Ma Shiying, she was sent back to Shandong by Shao Bao, and later she was handed over to Shao Bao for protection. For the preservation of power, if necessary, Shang Fang’s sword can be used to kill first and then report. Shaobao is also responsible for inspecting the property of those who rebel against the party. This matter is very involved and there are many members of his party, but no matter how many there are, they should be taken down to uphold the law of the country. "

Gu Junen said with a strange smile.

When he said this, the eyes of several generals behind Yang Feng suddenly shone...

What does it mean?
Go to Nanjing, arrest whoever you want, and ransack whose house you want. As long as Yang Feng is willing, he can imitate Liu Zongmin and torture the Jiangnan gentry with a stick. As long as Yang Feng opposes this Nanjing superintendent, as for the princess, you Take it back and play with it however you want.

What a great atmosphere!
Du Yinxi also became nervous instantly.

He looked at Yang Feng anxiously.

It was obvious that they had overlooked an issue before.

All their assumptions were based on the fact that Yang Feng would not collude with Li Zicheng. They believed that Yang Feng would protect the Jiangnan gentry. But the problem was that Yang Feng had another choice. He could collude with Li Zicheng! Why should he protect the Jiangnan gentry? Was it the latter who gave him the money? Isn't the root cause of this trouble now because the Nanjing court didn't want to give him money? The Jiangnan gentry didn't even want to give him any money, so why should he protect the Jiangnan gentry? If he did not protect the Jiangnan gentry, but instead colluded with Li Zicheng, the latter gave him legitimacy and gave him an imperial edict, and then he took the imperial edict to rob the Jiangnan gentry...

That’s totally fine!
At that time, three million was nothing, he could get thirty million at his fingertips.

Loyalty?

The cries of loyalty in front of thirty million liang are like gnats.

As for the princess, he wants to be very simple. Now he can go down the river and push the princess down in Nanjing without any hindrance. As for his ambition, this does not hinder his ambition! He first tortured the Jiangnan gentry, maybe the latter would kneel to him even more humbly in the future!

Judging from historical records, if the Jiangnan gentry were killed first, they would kneel on the ground and shout "Holy Lord Mingjun" in fear.

"You are holding the emperor hostage to order the princes. Shaobao is the reincarnation of Kong Ming. How can you collude with you?"

He immediately stepped forward and angrily scolded Gu Junen with a stern look on his face.

Lift Yang Feng first, just in case he likes it!
"Kong Ming? Isn't Xuande good at it?"

Gu Junen looked at Yang Feng and said quietly.

Du Yinxi broke into a cold sweat.

So Li Zicheng can also encourage Yang Feng to become the king of Qi!
Aren't you just using famous ministers to coax him and make him a loyal minister for the sake of his name? But we can give him the territory and make him the king of a country! You give us virtual things, we give you real things!
"Shaobao, do you accept the order?"

Gu Junen said.

"This one……"

Yang Feng looked like he was struggling.

"Shaobao, the matter is of great importance. This place is thousands of miles away from Nanjing. We don't know the actual situation yet. How can we act hastily? I am willing to rush to Nanjing immediately to find out the truth. If Shaobao has anything to tell the princess, I will also Can do it for you.”

Du Yinxi said immediately.

He had to stabilize Yang Feng first.

"That makes sense, then I'll write a letter right now!"

Yang Feng nodded and said.

Gu Junen just watched their performance.

Du Yinxi asked Yang Feng to make an offer. As long as Yang Feng did not turn against Li Zicheng, he would just make the offer. Then he would go to Nanjing to convey that he wanted money for money, or anything else. In short, everything could be negotiated, as long as Yang Feng supported Nanjing. To supervise the country, instead of taking the imperial edict given by Li Zicheng and going down the river to torture the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. But the problem is that Yang Feng’s price will definitely be very high, so can the Jiangnan gentry accept it? They are different from Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng uses their wealth to give favors, so Li Zicheng can be generous enough, but their wealth is really their wealth.

That's cutting their flesh!
"Shaobao, are you going to wait for me then?"

Gu Junen said.

"Wait a minute. I really don't know what happened here yet. I'll talk about it later when I understand it clearly."

Yang Feng, who was writing a letter, said.

Gu Junen turned around, but suddenly turned back, and took a step forward to look at the letter in Yang Feng's hand. Du Yinxi hurriedly pushed him out, while Gu Junen pushed him and continued to look at Yang Feng's letter, while Yang Feng ignored their entanglement. , continue to write on the paper with a brush...
