I have a cornucopia

Chapter 294 Pah, disgusting!

the next day.

sunset.

"the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero……"

King Yang sat leisurely on the chair, facing the mighty river in front of him, posing like a singer and singing loudly with his tuneless voice.

To his right stood a cross with a rolling ball nailed to it, and an executioner was busy there. Because a small part had been sliced, it looked like a horror movie. However, Dorgon was still alive. Although he had no strength to make a sound, he had not yet died. Judging from the situation, he should be able to hold on until tomorrow. This also made the people watching the excitement around very satisfied. There were even many people who came from Nanjing to watch the excitement. So at this moment, whether it was the Northern Expedition Army, Li Zicheng's subordinates, or those who came from Nanjing specifically, they all looked very satisfied.

After all, I am the Regent of the Qing Dynasty and the de facto supreme ruler of the Qing Dynasty.

But now they are being sliced ​​like a duck.

And his body was being thrown into the surging waters of the Yangtze River piece by piece...

Of course, some were eaten by dogs.

A bunch of stray dogs and domestic dogs were chasing each other happily by the river, just like primary school students who didn’t know that their homework had been sent to the parents’ group after school.

On Yang Feng's left sat His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who had arrived urgently on a rowboat.

In order to ensure safety, or to prevent any of Yang Feng's officers from getting angry and coming to heaven, the entire dock was taken over by Li Laiheng's soldiers. There were even Li Zicheng's warships on the river, with their guns pointed at Yang Feng...

Prevent him from doing it himself.

"In the end what you want?"

Li Zicheng, the Yongchang Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, said.

He, who was also sitting on a chair, watched Dorgon's twitching with an attitude of enjoyment.

He had already changed the reign title, after all, it was already past the New Year, so changing the reign title was necessary. He casually used the Yongchang he had used before as the new reign title, except that he was the Yongchang Emperor of Dashun before, and now he was the Yongchang Emperor of Daming. He was still very happy recently, because he had already reached the south of the Yangtze River, and those who were waiting and watching behind him finally started to place their bets. Wang Yingxiong, with the two provinces of Sichuan and Guizhou, had already adopted the Yongchang reign title.

Zhang Xianzhong hadn't yet, but Li Zicheng had already given him the offer of the King of Shu.

I guess the Lich King will eventually obey reluctantly.

After all, the two of them have been friends for a long time. He just felt unhappy. After all, he was afraid that his brother would suffer and drive a Land Rover. He just felt unbalanced and felt uncomfortable seeing Li Zicheng become emperor. But this problem could be solved by just letting him continue to rule his own country and be a local emperor.

In addition, Mu Tianbo has not placed a bet yet.

But he had already sent an envoy to Li Zicheng to inquire about the cause of death of the late emperor.

It was just a pretentious formality. After all, Li Zicheng's prince was Chongzhen's son. This resolved the Mu family's concerns. Of course, the main reason was that the Yunnan Group also wanted to get a piece of the pie. The Mu family was unwilling but could not stop the eagerness of their generals. It was estimated that they would soon adopt the Yongchang era name.

Guangxi has expelled the former governor Qu Shisi. After all, whether to support Li Zicheng or the empress, Qu Shisi, the governor, cannot stay because he represents the Jiangnan Group. In this way, Li Zicheng has completed the control of the five provinces of Shaanxi, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Hubei and Guizhou, plus the partial control of Shanxi, Henan and Nanzhi, becoming the strongest force in the Ming Dynasty and the leader recognized by the most provinces.

"It's not what I want, but what you want. You don't have a son, so why do you want to be the emperor? If you just make a child a puppet, I have nothing to say, but you are the emperor, which makes me very embarrassed. Originally, we could regard them as the only traitors, but now that you are the emperor, you can only be on the same level as them."

Yang Feng said with great sadness.

Li Zicheng snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty obeys the will of Heaven, so how can you not become the emperor? Moreover, Your Majesty has already appointed a crown prince, so how can you say that you have no children?"

Song Xiance, who was standing next to him, said.

Among the civil officials under Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing stayed in Xi'an, Song Xiance, and Gu Jun'en followed him. However, Gu Jun'en was definitely lower than Song Xiance. The latter was now a Grand Secretary and Minister of Revenue, while Gu Jun'en was Minister of War. Li Zicheng currently had three Grand Secretaries, the first assistant Niu Jinxing was also Minister of Personnel, and the other was Hui Shiyang was also Minister of Rites. After all, he was the first official to surrender to Li Zicheng, and he was also the head of the Shaanxi gentry. His appointment as the Grand Secretary could also show Li Zicheng's conciliatory attitude towards the old families in Shaanxi, and the latter could rest assured to cheer him on.

Li Zicheng even took one of Hui Shiyang's granddaughters as a concubine, and she is now the father-in-law of the emperor.

Of course, he was also completely labeled as a despicable and shameless treacherous villain by the Jiangnan group of wise men.

The former Five Tiger Generals of Donglin fell into depravity in this way.

"Are you qualified to speak here?"

Yang Feng said.

Song Xiance smiled awkwardly and quickly took a step back.

Li Zicheng turned his gaze to the distance.

"The ancestor of the Zhu family was just a beggar, but he was able to become an emperor and conquer the country for three hundred years. Why can't I be the emperor? The Zhu family has been emperors for three hundred years, and it's time to give up the throne. I still gave them the title of the country and let Chongzhen's son be my prince. I have done my best. In the final analysis, they lost this country by themselves. Considering their past tyranny and extortion, it is a blessing for my ancestors that they didn't exterminate their clan.

I don't have a son.

But these old brothers under me have it, so I don’t just have to think about my own future, I also have to think about them.

As for what you call a loyal minister or a traitor, I have been a traitor all my life.

I never thought of being a loyal minister."

He said as he looked at the Purple Mountain that was visible in the distance.

"Then I have nothing more to say. I am still loyal to the Queen. We will be enemies from now on."

Yang Feng said.

"She's just a woman. If you want her, just take her away. If you're not satisfied, you can take her sister as well. Why make it so complicated? If you want to have sex with her, just have sex with her. Why do you have to take off your pants to fart? It's true that this scholar is just hypocritical.

You also said that I was usurping the throne by becoming the emperor. What’s that about you making a woman the emperor?
Has there ever been a princess who succeeded to the throne since ancient times?
You say you are a loyal minister. Shouldn't a true loyal minister find another son for Chongzhen to adopt? Prince Fu is still alive, isn't it right for the younger brother to succeed the elder brother? You put a princess who is not qualified to inherit the throne on the throne instead of the one who is truly qualified to inherit Chongzhen's throne. You still have the nerve to criticize me? If you say I am a traitor, then you are also a traitor. I rebelled for more than ten years, but you killed nobles like dogs in front of Chongzhen.

Loyal minister?

Pooh!
nausea! "

Li Zicheng said with contempt.

"But I didn't usurp the throne. No matter what you say, I didn't usurp the throne."

Yang Feng said calmly.

Li Zicheng was speechless.

"As long as I haven't killed the king or usurped the throne, then compared to you who killed the king or usurped the throne, I am a truly loyal minister. This has to be compared. Even though I killed people in front of the emperor and scolded him, I am still a loyal minister."

Yang Feng said with an attitude that I have all the five evils but I am still a good girl.

Li Zicheng sneered.

However, the relationship between the two was clearly irreparable.

In fact, he also understood what Yang Feng was playing. The latter also wanted to be the emperor, but he did not sit on the throne, but established the emperor. He made a girl who was madly in love with him the emperor. In this way, he would not have to bear the stigma of usurping the throne, but he would still control the country. The rest was to do whatever he wanted, even getting the empress into bed, so that the child born in the future would still inherit the throne, completing the Yang family replacing Zhu, and Yang Feng would still be a loyal minister.

He didn't usurp the throne!
Even his descendants did not usurp the throne!
It was just a legitimate succession. What's wrong with a son inheriting his mother's throne? So this bastard was both the emperor and the queen. The Ming Dynasty still belonged to his Yang family, but he no longer had to bear the stigma of usurping the throne. He was still very shameless, but this also meant that he really couldn't recognize Li Zicheng's throne. Even if after Li Zicheng died, Chongzhen's son really succeeded to the throne, Yang Feng still wouldn't recognize this emperor...

Zhu Cixiong was adopted by Li Zicheng, so he is a member of the Li family. He is Li Cixiong and will always be Li Cixiong. How could he, a member of the Li family, be qualified to be the emperor of the Zhu family?

That's what adoption is all about.

Once adopted into the Li family, you become a member of the Li family and have nothing to do with the Zhu family.

No longer a member of the Zhu family.

Everything about the Zhu family has nothing to do with it anymore.

So the empress has to be the empress, and no matter what, the empress will only pass the throne to her son in the end. This is inevitable. Why would she give it to her younger brother instead of her son?
So Li Zicheng was sure that there was nothing more to talk about between him and Yang Feng.

He immediately stood up.

"From today on, you and I are enemies!"

He said.

Yang Feng sat there and calmly made a gesture of "please go ahead".

Li Zicheng said nothing and walked straight to the dock with his guards, but then stopped and turned to look at Dorgon who was still lying on the ground.

"How about giving me this shit?"

He said.

"He's almost dead, what do you want him for?"

Yang Feng said unexpectedly.

"If this bastard hadn't intervened, I would have skinned Wu Sangui alive back then. It wouldn't have taken until today. It's useless for you to catch him anyway. I'll take him back and kill him myself to pay tribute to my brothers who died in Shanhaiguan."

Li Zicheng said.

It can be seen that he still feels bitter about what happened back then. It is definitely nonsense to say that it delayed him from killing Wu Sangui, but it is true that it delayed him from unifying the country. Given the situation back then, if he could win the Battle of Shanhaiguan, with the Chongzhen sign in hand, it would not be difficult to subdue the northern Ming army and conquer Jiangnan in one go. After all, there was no one in Jiangnan who could fight at that time. At most, there were Zuo Liangyu and others, but they were all defeated by him. The militia only had a prototype, and Yang Feng did not intervene, after all, he still worshipped Chongzhen.

He went straight to the south of the Yangtze River, and most of the local officials would not resist because of Chongzhen, so he could enter Nanjing before the end of the year.

The key is that team training has not started.

But Dorgon's entry into the Pass destroyed his favorable situation, and he had no choice but to flee back to Shaanxi to protect himself.

His entanglement with Dorgon in the north gave Jiangnan precious time for development. By the time he turned his attention to Jiangnan again, the latter had already completed its militia training and had enough strength to contend with him. Now, after years of development and many wars, the militia was even able to defeat his elite troops.

It can be said that his hegemony was destroyed by Dorgon.

"Is that so? Fine, I'll give it to you. Go and have fun with it however you want!"

Yang Feng said.

He's had enough fun anyway.

Li Zicheng nodded, and then his guards stepped forward. Because Dorgon had already cut off part of the pieces, if they took them off directly, they would definitely die immediately, so they simply lifted the entire rack and followed Li Zicheng, carrying it to the latter's boat. Li Zicheng had to return to Zhenjiang quickly. In fact, he would not take action against Nanjing before dealing with Susongchang, especially after Yang Feng came.

If he really attacks Nanjing, Yang Feng will take action. If he does not attack Nanjing, Yang Feng will definitely not care about his war with Su, Song and Chang.

They were actually in tacit understanding.

He grabbed Nanzhi, Yang Feng grabbed Zhejiang, and now he only has Susongchang ahead of him, and Yang Feng only has Hangzhou, Jiaxing and Huzhou ahead of him.

Everyone grabs their own.

Do not interfere with each other.

Ever since Gao Jie gave way to him, he was already very clear about Yang Feng's intention.

As for the final question of the throne...

Compared with the wealth of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, this is really not worth mentioning. Let's seize the wealth of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River first and then discuss this. The throne is not as important as money.

Yang Feng sat there, watching Li Zicheng board the ship leisurely as the sun set.

"I am also worried that you may be harmful to His Majesty."

Li Laiheng said beside him.

This is indeed what they are most worried about. Yang Feng's military power is too terrifying. If he wants to take the opportunity to kill Li Zicheng, they really can't stop him. Even though they have made sufficient preparations, if such a thing really happens, these preparations will be meaningless. Whether Yang Feng wants to kill Li Zicheng or capture him alive, he will succeed. However, Li Zicheng still believes in Yang Feng's character.

Obviously he was right.

"There's no need at all. If I wanted to kill him, I would have done it a long time ago. You don't think that I can't kill him just because he's in Xi'an?"

Yang Feng said.

Li Laiheng was speechless.

Indeed, with Yang Feng's ability, if he simply wanted to kill someone, no one could stop him.

They watched Li Zicheng return to the boat, the oars of the rowboat moved slowly away from the dock, the cross of Dorgon on the deck had been erected again, his broken body stood on the bow like a classic image. However, Li Zicheng did not go down the river, he attacked suddenly, the Lion Mountain Fort and the Puzikou City defenders were unaware, and his warships frequently went back and forth, so the two places would not attack, but now they knew it was him, it would be very dangerous to pass again.

After all, it is possible that there were radicals among the officers stationed at the two artillery positions who wanted to take the opportunity to bomb him to death on the Yangtze River.

Although it's a bit brain-twisting to do so.

After all, Li Zicheng was backed by a huge military group. If he were really killed, the enraged 200,000-strong army would surely massacre the entire Jiangnan region.

But there is no guarantee of this kind of thing, and brain seizures have been very common throughout history.

So Li Zicheng crossed the river directly.

He captured Dashengguan, then bypassed Nanjing under the protection of cavalry and headed for Zhenjiang by land.

"The rolling waters of the Yangtze River pass eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone. The green mountains are still there, and the sunsets are red several times..."

Yang Feng watched the rowing boat gradually approaching Dashengguan, and sat there howling again.

then……

In the river water below the row of paddle boats, a fiery red color suddenly exploded...
