I have a cornucopia

Chapter 178 Let’s carve up the world together!

"Can you agree to this?"

Yang Feng looked at the emergency report in his hand with some shock.

To be precise, it is the imperial edict of the state.

The supervisor summoned him to Nanjing with an edict and gave him the title of bachelor...

Not an agent, just a bachelor.

After all, the Grand Scholar is only an official of the fifth rank. There is no need to pass an imperial edict. The Supervisor directly appointed him from the Nanjing Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then he was appointed as the Grand Scholar to supervise Nanjing and be responsible for the subsequent battle to regain Nanjing. As for Ji Governor Liao continued as usual, which was equivalent to agreeing to his first clause. At the same time, in the name of restoring the ancestral system, the one whip law was abolished and the in-kind tax was re-implemented. However, this needs to be completed gradually. Therefore, the first step will be to restore the ancestral system in South Zhili and re-establish the mine and tax supervisor, but it also needs to be completed gradually. , In short, Yang Feng’s three requirements are theoretically accepted.

Therefore, the Jiangnan gentry did not have the courage to fight after all, or in other words, they chose to retreat in the face of Yang Feng's pressure.

They dare not fight.

In other words, they know that they currently have no ability to fight.

Yang Feng was like a chameleon, instantly changing his face and saying.

In fact, during Dorgon's previous attack on Wuchang, transportation from Huguang to the north via Henan had already begun. The Qing army forcibly transported grain to credit stores in various places, and then took advantage of the large number of horses to use horses from the credit stores. Donkeys and camels were transported to the capital. Moreover, the Battle of Wuchang did allow him to achieve his goal of reducing Ding. Including those who were trapped in Xinshengzhou and died of illness, the Qing army lost more than 30,000 in this battle. The effect of reducing Ding can be said to be obvious, but it is not just reducing cannon fodder, but They are cannon fodder and elites reduced together.

Ma Shiying also knows the importance. At this time, supporting the princess to supervise the country is the mature way to seek the country. "

Yang Feng said.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a married man!"

Gu Junen smiled slightly.

So this is definitely still the case in Henan.

"Nonsense, I remember it clearly, it's Li Zicheng. I remember it's still fake?"

He is also thinking about the overall situation. There are so many troubles this time because there is no supervisor in Nanjing. The prince is in the hands of the prisoners. Your Majesty is with you and you don't let him go to Nanjing. In addition to the princess, what else can you do? Who can take care of external affairs for Your Majesty?

"You have been making trouble for so many years, has the world ever been better?"

In this case……

Gu Junen said simply.

"What does the world have to do with us? We are just a group of people seeking survival from death. We have indeed disturbed the world and given opportunities to Jianlu, but otherwise, for the sake of the Zhu family and the good life of the gentry, we are all doing that even to death. An'an died of hunger? Are we humble? The emperor of the Zhu family, the officials, and the gentry are sorry for us. They treat us like cattle, horses, pigs and sheep, and then abandon us like sand. If this is the case, then we will treat them like pigs and sheep. Drag it into this mud."

Wang Yuncheng, Ma Jinzhong and others were chasing, but they only followed from a distance.

That would be a reduction after all.

"Shaobao, I really don't understand. As long as you unite with the King of Qin, you can get whatever you want, and even more. You just want to seal the land, and Nanjing is also yours. The King of Qin can draw the Dabie Mountains to Hukou with you." As the boundary, South Zhili, Shandong, and Zhejiang belong to you, and let the emperor grant Nanjing a Qi King Shizhen.

Especially livestock and grain.

Scattered eating can not only suppress the local area, but also reduce the cost of transportation to the capital.

In fact, although Dorgon suffered huge losses in this war, it was not without gains. First of all, the territory expanded, and Wang Yuncheng and others' pursuit could only reach Fangcheng at most. They would definitely not be able to go further north because the supplies could not keep up. Secondly, his military strength has also been expanded. During his journey south, he recruited surrenders and rebels, and also received many new surrenders. Some of them followed him north. In total, his total military strength is actually more than when he went south. These people will definitely not lead him. Returning to the capital, after all, he wanted to add a new child to the capital, not a new one. It is estimated that some Eight Banners were left in Manchuria to take them to occupy Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, and Xuchang. In fact, Dorgon had previously divided the Eight Banners to garrison in various places, or to eat locally, otherwise they would all be concentrated in the capital and there would be no water transportation, making food supply difficult. , the transportation cost alone is huge.

Yang Feng has no requirements for them.

"I really don't understand why you still want to join them?
Don't talk about killing your father.

but……

Gu Junen said with a deep expression.

If you like the princess, let alone her, we can even give you her sister. We will send her sister to you later..."

At this time, Dorgon had completed the withdrawal of his troops, including those who took the east route to Suizhou and retreated north, and they had also withdrawn from Huguang.

The situation remains dangerous.

After all, unless he goes into battle in person, all the armies except Wang Yuncheng and his servants will not be able to defeat the Qing army in a field battle. If they catch up to the battle, they will lose, but they will suffer heavy losses, so they chase after them like the Ming army in the past. Just stuff.

Reducing the Eight Banners and Manchuria will also make his food more abundant.

He looked at Yang Feng.

In addition, Dorgon also received a lot of supplies.

Of course, the latter is already a grasshopper after autumn.

Gu Junen was too lazy to talk to him. We were all smart people. Yang Feng wanted this character to show that he and Li Zicheng were sworn in. But in reality, everyone knew that not only did he not avenge the so-called murder of his father, but he made more mistakes. He helped Li Zicheng to help him. He had been helping Li Zicheng since the Qing army moved south. Without him to attract the Qing army, Li Zicheng would not have been as calm as he is now.

Yang Feng reprimanded angrily again.

The King of Qin has already investigated and found out that your father committed suicide, and the people who attacked him were a group of Luo Rucai's men. It was the King of Qin who killed Luo Rucai. After all, it was the King of Qin who avenged you. As for how many of the group can still be found? If you want it, we'll deliver it right away. "

On Li Zicheng's side, Liu Fangliang, the commander-in-chief of Henan, is currently only guarding the area around Luoyang. He has no interest or ability to attack outwards, so Dorgon will eventually control part of Henan and get a control area south of the Yellow River that serves as a bridgehead. In fact, because Liu Liangzuo is still under the banner of King Jingnan of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty has even crossed the Huaihe River and has troops on the Yangtze River.

"Shaobao, this is Ma Ni's false edict."

Gu Junen said.

He said.

Yang Feng angrily scolded this nonsense guy with awe-inspiring righteousness.

Although Jianlu was defeated this time, he still crossed Henan.

“Don’t always be in the opposite direction of the horse.

"You are also a scholar. This is the way of sages..."

Yang Feng said.

“The way of sages teaches us how to behave.

But being alive is a human being, and those who are dead are just dying of hunger, and those who have read are also dying of hunger.

We must first live before we can follow the way of the sages. "

Gu Junen said.

"But now you are full."

Yang Feng said.

"Yes, so we must follow the way of the sages. What is the way of the sages? Loyalty, aren't we trying to clear out the rebels for the Ming Emperor? Isn't it a conspiracy for the minister to kidnap the princess and supervise the country without an imperial decree? What's wrong with us, loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, rebelling against each other? As for granting territory to your Majesty, are you not a minister of the Ming Dynasty and want to proclaim yourself emperor? They all still bow to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Even if you rule Nanjing, you are still the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Are the Jiedu envoys of the Tang Dynasty not the ministers of the Li family? Are the countries of the Spring and Autumn Period not the ministers of the Emperor of Zhou? As long as you and the King of Qin still respect the Emperor of the Zhu family? , then this country still belongs to the Ming Emperor, and we are all loyal ministers."

Gu Junen said. What he said makes sense.

Yang Feng had to admit that this guy still had some talents.

What a blatant temptation!
Let’s divide the Zhu family’s kingdom together!
It's easy to do if you want to be a loyal minister. As long as we don't proclaim emperor and still retain Chongzhen, then we will all be loyal ministers. As for dividing the world, aren't the Jiedu envoys loyal ministers of the Li family? Aren't the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period loyal ministers of the Emperor Zhou? As long as the last step was not taken, it can be explained. Who said that the Ming Dynasty must listen to one court?

The feudal princes are also the Ming Dynasty!
In theory, the vassal kings are all princes and kings. If the Zhu family is allowed to have a bunch of princes and princes, they cannot add a few with different surnames.

Then the three provinces of Southern Zhili were returned to Yang Feng.

You can do whatever you want.

The rest belongs to Li Zicheng, and he can do whatever he wants.

What a perfect solution!

but……

“It’s a good plan, but I refuse.

During the 20 years of chaos in the Ming Dynasty, enough people had died. "

Yang Feng said.

Gu Junen looked at him blankly.

"Your Excellency, there are too many people who are just afraid of death? It seems that I am really wrong. You have the talent to achieve great things, but you have no intention to achieve great things. What a pity!"

He said.

After saying that, he casually handed over to Yang Feng, then turned around and left...

"Go back and tell Li Zicheng that he should stop thinking nonsense, farm honestly, let the people have enough to eat, and stop starving to death. He has been struggling for almost twenty years and it's time to rest. Although he is indeed rebelling It’s understandable, I told Gao Jie that there’s nothing wrong with people who want to starve to death, but it’s wrong for him to still want to keep going.”

Yang Feng said.

Gu Junen left without looking back.

"I'm really not suitable to be a hero."

Yang Feng sat there and said melancholy.

"Zhu Guo, you are fit to be a hero."

said Hui Denxiang, who had been listening nearby.

He and Ma Jinzhong allied forces to go north, but he was in poor health, so he stayed in Chengtian. Historically, he died of illness next year, but now he is not in good health, so his subordinates are actually controlled by Ma Jinzhong. In order to avoid civil strife, Yang Feng He simply assigned his subordinates to Ma Jinzhong directly, and Hui Dengxiang and his family followed him to Nanjing to arrange official positions in Nanjing.

At least this time he and Ma Jinzhong can be said to have saved Wuchang in a sense.

Without their restraint, it would be difficult for Yang Feng to complete the reorganization of Wuchang City before Dorgon arrived.

"Hero, I can't be a hero. The one who can save the world is the hero."

Yang Feng said.

He stayed in Chengtian for another half month, and then waited for the second batch of envoys from Li Zicheng. However, it was not Gu Junen, but his old acquaintance Li Laiheng, who led his army to take over Nanyang again. By the way, he sent Zhaoren. It brought Li Zicheng's final decision to Yang Feng. Li Zicheng finally accepted the reality. Of course, the main reason was that he had no other choice. It was impossible for him to send troops for this reason, let alone Yang Feng who was blocking him. Even without Yang Feng's blocking, he would not have been able to send troops to Jiangnan. He originally wanted to coax Yang Feng to disrupt Jiangnan again and make the south fall apart, but if Yang Feng didn't fall for the trick, he had no other choice but to blackmail him.

Yang Feng doesn't care about this.

In the end, Li Zicheng also made a condition for Nanjing, that is, to transport one million shi of grain to him, and he issued an order on behalf of Chongzhen to use Princess Kunxing to supervise Nanjing, recognizing the legitimacy of Nanjing's supervision.

Of course, Sichuan was also removed from the hands of the prison state.

Nanjing was used to supervise the country and control southern Zhili, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Huguang, as well as Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan.

Excludes Shandong.

Shandong was still under the jurisdiction of the Xi'an court.

Of course, it was actually given to Yang Feng. After all, Li Zicheng couldn't rule it. It had been cut off by the Qing army and the Yellow River. Now Yang Feng had to bypass the Yangtze River to deliver goods to him. However, Yang Feng, the governor of Jiliao, had his military supplies supplied by the Supervisory State, which could be said to give him what he wanted. In exchange, Yang Feng had to sell him some new seeds and even send him people to guide him in farming. Although Dorgon retreated to the north at this time, he was temporarily unable to expand, so Li Zicheng was very stable and had begun to repair the water conservancy facilities in Guanzhong. Although sweet potatoes have been initially planted this year, they have already understood their value. After all, being able to eat sweet potato seedlings in the summer is a huge surprise to them.

He plans to plant all dry fields with sweet potatoes next year. Anyway, given the situation in Shaanxi, there is no point in planting other fields in these dry fields.

Sweet potatoes, sorghum.

They all plant this.

Since he is so sensible, Yang Feng will certainly meet his request.

In this way, the crisis was quickly resolved.

then……

Xinshengzhou.

"The bones are exposed in the wild!"

Yang Feng stood next to the scrap steel and looked at the dark scene in front of him with emotion.

There are bones everywhere, and they are all scattered bones. They have turned black and have even seen fly larvae crawling on them. These bones also have marks of being chopped with knives and axes. Because all the reeds have been cut down, after all, we still have to make a fire. There is nothing but reeds on it. Even fresh reeds can be used if they are dried in the sun.

Therefore, countless rotten black bones stretch on this empty and flat sandbank.

This belongs to the Five Thousand Eight Banners Warriors.

But they were all killed by each other.

For more than a month, they were trapped here, and with no possibility of escaping amid the patrolling warships around them, they just killed each other as their daily routine. After all, it was easy to go crazy in this kind of predicament. They even killed for nothing, just to vent their anger. First they formed a group to kill each other, and then they were in a group to kill each other again. In the end, they all turned into these rotten black bones.

"After you're done killing them, just throw them here. They've almost turned the sand into black soil."

Yang Feng kicked the dirt below and said.

"You will finally understand."

Wang Guangtai said quickly.

Not far from them, by the riverside, the soldiers were holding down the remaining hundreds of Qing troops and bleeding them. None of the latter resisted, mainly because they no longer had the strength to resist.

"Leave it to you."

Yang Feng patted him on the shoulder and then walked towards the battleship in front.

On the battleship deck, Dodo, who was nailed to a shelf, was watching this scene...
