I have a cornucopia

Chapter 179 The Forks in History
Duduo, who relied on his strong physique to survive the dangerous period, just watched his elite army be destroyed.

More than three thousand Manchuria with white flags...

Among them were the most elite Qian Baya Lahu.

They could even easily defeat tens of thousands of Ming troops on a real battlefield.

In this era, there are almost no enemies who can completely annihilate them. Neither the Ming army nor Li Zicheng's subordinates can do it. To annihilate them, the Ming army must have at least 30,000 soldiers, and they must have a certain fighting capacity, not those who will collapse at the first touch. cannon fodder.

Even thirty thousand may not be enough, because even if they are defeated, it will be difficult to annihilate them all. In the end, half or more will break out.

but now……

The enemy didn't even engage them!

Those who tried to cross the Yangtze River on horseback were shot by cannons, those who killed each other on Xinshengzhou, and those who were too hungry to resist and were caught and bled.

They didn't kill a single enemy, so they were destroyed in such a shameful manner.

Duduo suddenly howled like crazy, and then tried to break free from the wooden frame, but he was nailed to it and could not break free at all...

After all, Yuan Jixian went to Nanjing to become a pavilion elder.

"Zhuguo, you want to capture Jianlu and the puppet King of Yu?"

"Zhuguo fought bloody battles for the Ming Dynasty. It's time for Kunxing to express his gratitude to Zhuguo on behalf of his father."

After all, Ma Shiying could no longer watch them openly fighting...

After they met, the number of troops Yang Feng led to Nanjing had swelled to 60,000, and there were more than 400 warships alone. The momentum could be described as a ship traveling thousands of miles, and a flag covering the sky. Then he became so powerful He headed straight to Nanjing with great momentum. Inspired by his loyalty, of course, it was actually because he was sure to win, so the gentry from all over Anqing quickly assembled five thousand regiments for him. Not to mention whether these regiments could be fought, we got this idea, plus other sporadic additions, Yang Ge's troops When approaching Dasheng Pass, there were already 80,000 troops.

Yang Feng bowed and saluted the supervisor who greeted him.

Yang Gebu smiled proudly.

Song Yingxing was confused.

"Look out, at least you'll meet them soon."

She said.

"The cabinet department is indeed very knowledgeable, and this poem is so heroic!"

"Are you Song Changgeng?"

Yang Feng patted his shoulder and said.

Great victory.

If he hadn't run away, he might have died in Henan.

He is still very clever.

"I am your Majesty's minister, and it is my duty to defeat the invaders and protect the captives. How dare I accept His Majesty's courtesy? What's more, His Highness is ordered to supervise the country and is the king of my subjects. This courtesy cannot be abolished."

Yang Feng said viciously.

Duduo's family can say it's over and will never be able to enter the core of power again.

Song Yingxing is actually the magistrate of Bozhou who resigned last year. After all, it is already very dangerous for him to continue to be the magistrate of Bozhou...

"Do a good job, I'm very optimistic about you!"

Prime Minister Hui Deng quickly flattered him.

Yang Feng shouted proudly.

They arrived in Jiujiang the next day, but Yuan Jixian had already rushed to Nanjing. The new governor-general of Jiangxi Huguang Military Affairs He Tengjiao was still in Chengtian. The fleet passed Jiujiang without stopping. When they arrived at Hukou, they met Yang Tinglin, the director of the Ministry of War who had come north from Jiangxi. The latter was Lu Xiangsheng's main assistant. After Lu Xiangsheng died in the battle, he was kicked out of the court by Yang Sichang. Chongzhen had reinstated him last year, but before he could go north, Li Zicheng invaded the capital, and he recruited soldiers from Jiangxi to King Qin, so Naturally, he became the leader in group training in Jiangxi.

And the warship at his feet was riding the wind down the Yangtze River.

Jian Guo quickly stepped forward to support him excitedly. Because of the height difference, it looked like he was holding his hand and looking up, while Yang Gebu looked down at her.

"Hahahahaha, order all the troops, let's go straight to Jinling, Yang Fenglou's boat will go to Ezhou, and all the ugly people in Jinling will be crowned!"

"Song Yingxing, the registered son, has met Zhu Guo."

The latter quickly saluted him.

"Chen Feng was ordered to rush to the aid of Wuchang. He admired the might of Emperor Taizu Gao and relied on the officers and soldiers to serve their lives. Fortunately, he has fulfilled his mission. Today I present to Your Highness the traitor Zuo Mengeng, the traitorous minister Zuo Mengeng and the traitor King Duduo of Yu."

As he spoke, he bowed.

Hundreds of thousands of people are watching!
You are a married man, and you are openly pulling and pulling with an unmarried girl. If you keep pulling her, the prisoner will almost be in your arms, so be careful of the impact.

Song Yingxing and Yang Tinglin were both in the same system, that is, they were members of the Yuzhang Society in Jiangxi, which was similar to the Fushe Society. Naturally, they were indispensable to follow. Although he did not pass the Jinshi examination, his status as a scholar was enough. Besides, the Song family was also a well-known family, and his great-grandfather was a minister. The only reason he is inferior in his generation is that he has not produced a Jinshi, but compared with ordinary people, he can still only look up to him.

This time, under the orders of the Jianguo, he led a regiment of 30,000 people from all over Jiangxi to Nanjing. The Elders Association of Nanchang and other prefectures had already recognized the Jianguo.

Yang Fenglao looked at Song Yingxing next to Yang Tinglin with interest.

Moreover, the Xiangbai Banner, which was originally ranked first in terms of strength among the Eight Banners, was almost halved in strength after this battle, and has inevitably become the weakest among the Eight Banners. You must know that not only the Xiangbai Banner Manchurians died, but also the Xiangbai Banner Mongolia and the Xiangbai Banner Han army. , in fact, being annexed by others is inevitable, and Dorgon will definitely take over Xiangbaiqi next. Dodo's heir, Doni, is not yet ten years old, so it is impossible to inherit the position of flag leader, and Dorgon certainly cannot let Azig command the entire white flag. Dodo is the most supportive of him, but Azige is not, so Dodo Gon would definitely take the white flag himself and then pretend to wait until Donnie grows up...

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Yang Feng quickly supported her and said.

Behind him were hundreds of warships, full of soldiers following their Zhuguo straight to Nanjing.

Then I ignored him.

he asked.

This matter has not been made public yet.

In fact, Ma Shiying should have known about it for a long time. No one in Wuchang would send him a secret message, but since Yang Feng chose not to disclose it, there was no need for him to be meddlesome. It would be better to cooperate now, but he also understood that after all, Duduo would be disclosed. With the news of being captured, we have to discuss the issue of exchanging Duoduo for the crown prince. But if Duoduo is exchanged for the prince, what about the princess who has been ordered to supervise the country? It took a lot of effort to push her to the position of supervising the country. Once her brother comes back, she will have to give up her position.

I understand.

"Exactly, I didn't know that this prisoner was trapped in Xinshengzhou before, and Dorgon was still occupying Chengtian at that time, so he didn't care about it. It wasn't until I led the army to drive Dorgon out of Huguang that I went back to deal with these poor people. However, I unexpectedly captured Duduo, the false king of Yu. This prisoner was Dorgon's brother, the most powerful general in Jianlu, and the leader of Xiangbai Banner, so I wanted to exchange him for the crown prince."

Yang Feng immediately said to the princess.

"Can I really get my brother back?"

said the princess in surprise.

"Your Highness, this matter needs to be considered in the long term." Ma Shiying said without hesitation.

"Why?"

The princess said somewhat unhappy.

Liu Zongzhou and others around him were also stunned for a moment, but they were all old foxes and they immediately realized what Ma Shiying was afraid of.

"Your Highness, please go back to the palace to discuss this first. He is in our hands. We can do whatever we want, but recovering Nanjing is the most important thing right now."

He Shishou said.

"What's more, even if you want to change, you have to change Queen Yi'an first. Your Majesty treats Queen Yi'an as your mother. Even if Your Majesty knows, you have to change Queen Yi'an first."

Liu Zongzhou stroked his beard and said with a serious face.

The princess frowned and looked at Yang Feng.

"Mr. Jishan really understands justice, but there is no need to worry about this. This junior has already reached an agreement with Dorgon before, and he is willing to exchange Jianlu's Puppet Queen Mother for Yi'an Queen. He has also agreed. If nothing happens, this time Queen Shi Yi'an should have been welcomed back in Ninghai City. However, we still have the Jianlu Puppet Emperor in our hands, but the exchange requires His Majesty's imperial decree. After all, the Jianlu Puppet Emperor is not better than others, but this Duduo is indeed suitable for exchange. Prince, he and Dorgon are brothers from the same mother, so they should be able to change."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

He Shishou and others looked at him speechlessly...

What are you going to do?
Don’t you know what would happen if you were replaced by the prince?

Yang Feng just looked at it with a smile.

He was just playing with these old guys to see how reluctant they were to give up this opportunity. In fact, they had already liked this situation during this period. The princess supervising the country, a girl who knew nothing and was not even interested in managing government affairs, It can be said that government affairs are completely left to the ministers. Due to his background, Ma Shiying does not have a strong base behind him. In addition, he is quite cunning, so he knows his position very well and is just maintaining it. In fact, it is the Nine Ministers of the Cabinet who have the final say. To put it bluntly, these representatives represent Nanzhi. The old guys who are in charge of local interests have the final say.

Liu Zongzhou was extremely happy about this, and he already shouted out a new atmosphere that had not been seen in the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years.

He is the ancestor of the Eastern Zhejiang Department and the origin of Huang Zongxi's gang. He is Huang Zongxi's teacher, although he does not reach Huang Zongxi's height.

But the current situation is undoubtedly the most consistent with the Eastern Zhejiang utopia.

The monarch bows his head above.

The monarch is a young girl, and she knows nothing but bowing her head.

The talented people are at their service.

Looking at the imperial court, they are all talented people. Although Ma Shiying is indeed not up to this standard, fortunately he is sensible.

The local gentlemen educate the people.

Elderly people's associations in various places all meet their standards of gentlemen.

Even the upper and lower chambers are about to be formed, because while the Elders' Association controls the local area, schools in various places have become secondary venues for political discussion. After all, the number of Elders' Association is very small, and they are all top aristocratic families or famous scholars in various places. Such as Liu Zongzhou and Jin Sheng. However, young scholars lacked the right to speak, so schools in various places became their venue for political discussions, and these young scholars represented almost all the local gentry, so if they were dissatisfied with the Elders' Association, they would directly make demands. Their request can basically be said to be the choice of the majority of the local gentry, so the Elders Council must meet and make a decision...

This is how a new stage has entered.

In the final analysis, the end of the Ming Dynasty was controlled by the gentry, but due to restrictions on imperial power, institutions, etc., and mainly the lack of driving force, it was never possible to break through a threshold.

But it's different now.

The imperial power has been weakened to the point where it can be said that it is almost useless.

The emperor was held hostage to order the princes and could be regarded as non-existent. The imperial edict issued by Li Zicheng was a joke to local officials and gentry.

However, external pressure is increasing. Whether Li Zicheng goes south or Dorgon goes south, they have to raise their swords against the Jiangnan gentry. Even Yang Feng goes south to ask for money. If they don't want to be dominated by others, they have to change and find a way to make them change. Become stronger yourself. In this way, the driving force is there, the environment is unlocked for them, and changes will come naturally. Similarly, they also like a weak monarch just like those British landowners who like to find kings from foreign countries and women as kings.

So who else is more vulnerable than the current supervisor?
She has no inheritance rights, she is a sixteen-year-old girl, she is alone, her father and brother are not around, she is already extremely vulnerable.

Even if others wanted to follow her and become a minister of the dragon, they would not dare!

She has no right to inherit. No matter how hard you try to help her and no matter how loyal you are to her, she has no right to inherit. Let alone her brother. Even if her brother comes, she will have to give up the throne.

But what if it was her brother?

The prince is a man of his age who is full of passion.

Will he tolerate the gentry to continue to evade imperial power and treat him as a puppet?

So Yang Feng gave this multiple-choice question to the gentry. He didn't need to be the bad guy, because then the princess would be very sad. She really wanted to replace her brother. She had no nostalgia for the prison country, just because of the situation. After all, she shouldn't have been blessed by King Fu, so she even longed for her brother to come back. Yang Fengcai will not be this bad guy. Instead, he will support the exchange and let the gentry make their choice. If you want to give up this perfect situation for you and return to the era of imperial power, then you can exchange it for the prince. Anyway, he has plenty during the exchange. A way to make Duduo die tragically.

He doesn't care.

If the gentry doesn't want to, and they want to continue such happiness, then they should find a way to prevent the exchange, activate their exegesis skills, and make the princess accept the reason why the exchange cannot be made.

This reason...

"elder sister!"

The awkwardness of the scene was broken by Zhaoren's shout.

This little girl is on another boat. After all, Yang Feng's boat is full of men, so he has to arrange a special boat for her.

Now she was standing on the boat that was about to dock, waving to her sister. The princess immediately put aside the question and waved to her sister.

"Zhu Guo, what do you want to do?"

Ma Shiying immediately whispered.

"I just want to watch a show."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Then he looked at Liu Zongzhou and others who were gathered not far away with solemn expressions.

At this time, most of the nine ministers appointed by the Supervisor of the State have arrived, and almost all of them are from Nanzhi, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. There are still a few positions left for Fujian, Guangdong, Huguang, etc., but they are just a foil. Those who really hold power are these Three provinces, of which Southern Zhili accounts for nearly half, they are gathered together at this moment, discussing in low voices. It can be seen that they are all entangled. This choice is really difficult to make, because there must be a suitable reason for insisting not to change. After all, they There's really no reason not to change.

At least for those who consider themselves loyal, there is really no reason not to change.

Moreover, they have been promoting what should be exchanged before, which is a slap in the face and very damaging to their image.

Ma Shiying also understood.

"Zhu Guo, you are too old and confused."

He stroked his beard and said with a standard traitorous attitude.

At this time, on the battleship behind Yang Feng, Duduo was nailed to the shelf, slowly lowering himself in the sun like the image of a certain sign. On the deck behind him, the left hand was also nailed to the shelf. Meng Geng.
