golden scales

On the 18th day of the first lunar month in the [-]th year of Chongzhen, the "Huangming Bulletin" published the "Revenge of Captives" written by His Highness the Crown Prince himself on the front page, announcing that the Manchurian dignitaries had descended from the false emperor Shunzhi, and the nine chieftains Dorgon, Jierhalang, Fan Wen Cheng, Ganglin, Qi Chongge, Sony, Sukesaha, Aobai, Minister of the Ministry of War Han Dai, Infantry Commander Ai Xing'a are the chief villains, and they must be punished by the Ming Dynasty, Xie Yuanyuan.He also appointed Feng Quan, Xie Qiguang, Li Ruolin, Jin Zhijun, and Sun Zhixie, the scholars of Shilu University, as traitors, and they will not be pardoned.

In the call to action, Zhu Cihong also reiterated the history of the massacre of Han people in Liaodong during the Nurhachi era, defined Manchuria as a rebellious barbarian, and stipulated that when all books mentioned Nurhachi, they should be written as: wild boar skin, or "Nurhachi" Derogatory name; Huang Taiji's original name: Hei Hai.

After "Revenge", there are endless descriptions of the tragic situation in the capital on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, which makes readers sad and tears when they hear it.This issue of "Huangming Bulletin" has been reprinted for a full ten days, and the engraving block was worn out, so it was reprinted and re-engraved. More than [-] copies were printed and distributed to all counties and villages, and the payment was paid by the imperial court.

Not only that, Zhu Cihong also ordered people to send this circular to Nanjing, so that Wang Zhixin could engrave and print it in Nanjing, so that the whole world could know it.

As a result, the famous scholars in the south of the Yangtze River who had been clamoring for joint captives and thieves could only sigh and be speechless with their newspapers.

Including "Jiangnan Shilin Daily".

Although the "Jiangnan Shilin Daily" dare not risk the disgrace of the world and clear the land for the establishment of slaves, it can also adopt a passive response method. It still shouts slogans such as "down with traitors" in the newspaper, but it is against the thirteenth day of the first month. The tragedy of the emperor was silent, and he turned a deaf ear to the crown prince's personal proclamation.

"For the sake of a group of foolish people, they disregarded the national policy and angered the Tartars. How can such naive people rule the country?" Qian Qianyi held the "Huangming Bulletin" tightly, wishing to crumple it into a ball.He paced the study for two weeks.He said with hatred: "Now Donglu has captured Shaanxi and drove the Chuangni into Sichuan. It was the alliance with Donglu that brought Zuozhen into Bashu. When we wiped out the Chuangni and the thieves in one fell swoop, why did we provoke them so much?" What? It’s really wrong for the country! It’s wrong for the country!”

Liu Rushi stepped forward.With bloodshot eyes still in his eyes, he said in a low voice: "Master, these Jian slaves are too inhuman..."

Qian Qianyi said heartbrokenly: "You can think so, can a country be in power with the benevolence of this woman? Eastern captives always want to leave, and exiles are a serious problem!"

Liu Rushi remained silent, and after a long time said: "Master, I'd better wait to explain this truth to others. After all, there are more ignorant people in this world now."

"It can only be like this." Qian Qianyi sighed: "If hundreds of thousands of Donglu troops are provoked to go south, can the officers and soldiers stop it?" He stood up suddenly: "No! We must not sit and watch these mediocre people You have defeated Sheji! I'm going to find Gao Hongtu right away, and I will rescue the Holy One no matter what!"

"My lord, in today's world, I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on righteousness alone." Liu Rushi pulled Qian Qianyi back: "The most important thing is to have soldiers and horses in hand. How did Ni Chu imprison the Holy Son of Heaven? Isn't it because the Holy Majesty didn't investigate at the beginning? , allow him to build his own guard camp?"

Qian Qianyi dejectedly said: "Where can I go to find soldiers? If I raise soldiers myself, wouldn't it be a rebellion?"

"Master, have you heard of Gao Qiqian and Lu Jiude?" Liu Rushi asked.

Gao Qiqian, known as the most knowledgeable soldier among the courtiers, was Yang Sichang's supervisor and one of the chief culprits of Lu Xiangsheng's death.After the country changed.Gao Qiqian fled all the way to Nanjing, and now he is seeking connections everywhere, wanting to ask Wang Zhixin to help him get rid of the crime.Qian Qianyi had never dealt with him, but he was still quite rumored.

As for Lu Jiude, there seems to be some movement in Nanjing recently.He supervised the army in Fengyang.It was Feng Du Ma Shiying and his group, but they did not stay in Fengyang, but were in Nanjing with some remnants of the eunuchs. I don't know what kind of dirty thoughts they have.

Liu Rushi helped Qian Qianyi run the "Jiangnan Shilin Newspaper", just like when he was in Quzhong, he often wore Confucian uniforms and went in and out of scholar gatherings as a man.Scholars all admired Liu Rushi's beautiful appearance and literary talents, and they knew everything about her, so they were very well informed about her.

The reason for pointing out these two eunuchs is because one of them had a lot of knowledge in the army, and the other is quite important in the army now.After all, the abolition of the military state is the most important thing in the world, and we can't go to people rashly, and these eunuchs only need to pay money, and let them recruit reliable warriors, which is safe.

"What's more, Lu Jiude originally wanted the ministers to support the vassal king to supervise the country." Liu Rushi said: "He once served King Fu Gong, and I heard that King Fu is with him now."

Qian Qianyi waved his hands and said: "Qingqing, this is absolutely impossible! We gentlemen, how can we conspire with the eunuchs! Besides, he obviously wants Fufan to supervise the country, which is very disadvantageous to us gentlemen!"

King Fu Gong is the old King Fu, the son of Concubine Zheng who was forcibly pulled down from the throne by the Donglin Party.If his son is allowed to be the supervisor of the country, Donglin's lineage will definitely not have a good life.

However, without an army of our own, it is tantamount to wishing to resist Zhu Cihong, the rebellious prince who restored the whole province of Henan!

……

"Did Zhu Ming exaggerate this matter?" Hong Chengchou took the copied "Huang Ming Bulletin" and asked the family members who came from Beijing to send clothes to the army.

The family trembled and said: "Master, this has not written half of the tragedy of that night. They only wrote about the situation in the city. In fact, in the counties and villages outside the city, Manchu soldiers burned, killed and looted. Even if the family has food to buy I can't escape my life."

Hong Chengchou slumped down on the chair, feeling a big chill in his heart.

This is not an attitude of fighting for the world!Even if Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong could kill people and set fire to dig up their ancestors' graves when they were bandits, once they wanted to fight for the world, they had to pretend to be the Holy Lord Minghuang, raise the people, stabilize the gentry, and accommodate the former clan.

The human grievances caused in this way will inevitably make Daqing lose its foothold and can only retreat outside the pass.

Hong Chengchou is a native of Fujian, and he has been looking forward to helping the Qing Dynasty to become an official in the south of the Yangtze River.If you go back outside the pass... Hong Chengchou couldn't help but let out another sigh when he thought about the bitter cold place.

"These people didn't remonstrate with the lord, they really deserved to die!" Hong Chengchou wrote it again on the case, and went through the list of culprits and traitors twice.

Because this "Revenge of Captives" is a handwritten copy, there is a possibility of missing or avoiding taboos.Hong Chengchou didn't see his name, he couldn't believe it, and asked again: "Is there really no name on it?"

"Master," the family said, "the family has collected several kinds of newspapers, none of which is named Master."

"Oh." Hong Chengchou responded, pacing back and forth in the study.He knew the story of Emperor Chongzhen setting up an altar for personal sacrifices, and he also knew that he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty alive was no longer a slap in the face of the emperor, but stripped the emperor and pressed him on the ground to slap the board!Especially now that he is actually leading the army against Master Wang...and he is not among the traitors.

Feng Quan and others don't know how wronged they will be.

"Master, a letter from the south." That family was brought by Hong Chengchou since he came to Beijing to rush for the exam, and they are very reliable.He lowered his voice and said, "The old lady has arrived in Nanjing."

"Is it okay?" Hong Chengchou's heart suddenly tightened.After entering the customs, he sent someone to send a secret letter to the family, asking his mother to take his reliable nephew and set off northward.In this barbaric age, family members often also serve as hostages.Think of Wu Sangui's family in Beijing, they were all killed by Li Zicheng.

If he just lost his integrity, the Ming court would not embarrass his family if he wanted to come, and the court still has this measure.However, he became an important minister of the Qing court, and even led the troops to face the Golden Dragon Emperor Banner, so it was necessary to take his mother over.

"The old lady is alright, the family has also sent a servant to take care of her along the way." The family said: "But after arriving in Nanjing, the whereabouts of the old lady were discovered."

Hong Chengchou remained calm, his heart was mostly cold again.He said: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world, we still have to leave Nanjing as soon as possible..."

"My lord, I'm just thinking: I have to come from Zhili, Shandong, and I have to go through Prince Ming's defense zone. Why don't the old lady take a detour and come from Shaanxi..."

"It's also difficult."

Hong Chengchou has already received the news that Prince Zhu launched an army years ago to recover Henan in one fell swoop, and blocked Li Zicheng in Shangluo Mountain, failing to enter Huguang.Chuangni Baiwang led 8 troops to surrender, sacrificed the four Jingxiang prefectures, and provided a bridgehead for the prince to contain Chu Town.So far, the Eastern Palace Army has traversed the Central Plains, completely cutting off the north-south traffic.
