Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 61 It's time to activate Shigong
Although these days have been planning to reduce the vassal, Zhu Yousong's martial arts have not fallen a day. He knows that in this troubled world, no matter how noble his status is, it is not as important as being stronger. Isn't Zhu Yousong in history the emperor? However, after only sitting for less than a year, he was executed by Ling Chi, which is not as good as a little old man.

A weak body, no matter how high the status, no matter how much money, must be prepared for others. In addition, the scene of beheading Ma Luan is still fresh in his memory.

Rengui has self-knowledge. Although he killed Ma Luan, objectively speaking, he knows that his martial arts is not much higher than Ma Luan. If Ma Luan does not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, it is still unknown who will win the battle if the two fight each other.In this era of war and chaos dominated by cold weapons, the great country is much more powerful than Ma Luan in martial arts. If you encounter a strong enemy again, you will not be so lucky. You can't blindly rely on others to protect yourself.

Therefore, nothing is as reliable as its own strength, and it has always been his dream to be a horse king who is all-powerful and criss-crossing the battlefield.

Therefore, Zhu Yousong must go to the imperial garden every afternoon to practice the method of interbreathing between plants and trees, and cultivate his breath internally. Every morning, he must hear the chickens dance and strengthen his muscles and bones. His art is advancing day by day.

Zhu Yousong, who promised to pay the four towns food and plans to attack Huang Chuangzi first, has not yet decided on the final date of his trip. On this day, he was practicing handwriting accompanied by Jinhuang and Chan'er, when suddenly Xiao Huangmen came in and said that Li Guofu asked Not long after entering to see His Majesty, Li Guofu came in in a panic and lay down on the ground, "Yangzhou is six hundred miles away and the military situation is urgent, and a fight has started..."

Zhu Yousong was taken aback, and thought that Li Zicheng's troops or the Manchu Tartars had come to kill him. He calculated that the time was wrong. It was now the beginning of August in the 17th year of Chongzhen. The Emperor Shunzhi hadn't arrived in Beijing yet. Li Zicheng Zhang Xianzhong's peasant army should be fighting fiercely in Hebei, Henan, and Shanxi, and there is no time to go south. These few months are also the best time for him to take a breather and counterattack.Could it be that the historical records are wrong?

"Don't panic, take your time, who is fighting with whom?" Zhu Yousong tried to stabilize himself.

"Go back to the emperor, Xingping Bo Gaojie is going to enter Yangzhou City, but Yangzhou soldiers and civilians don't accept him, so he will forcefully enter the city. Here is an urgent report from Yangzhou for six hundred miles."

Zhu Yousong suddenly remembered that there was such a thing in the history books, probably not only the two of them, the warlords of the four towns wanted to enter Yangzhou. Yangzhou is a famous historical city with picturesque scenery, rich as hell, and rich in beauties , who wouldn't want such a site?The four warlords competed for one Yangzhou. The incompetent Emperor Hongguang became impotent and dared not do anything to the four warlords, so Shi Kefa had to go to Yangzhou to mediate.

Today I caught up with this matter, but as long as it is not Li Zicheng's men or Qing Tartars calling, it will be fine.

Zhu Yousong relaxed, and took the six-hundred-mile urgent report from Li Guofu. This is actually a memorial, but it has a sign of urgency. No one will hold back, and immediately fulfill the emperor's decision.

This urgent side report was jointly written by Ma Minglu, the magistrate of Yangzhou, Liu Zhaoji, the military officer of Yangzhou, and Tang Laihe, the Tuiguan of Yangzhou. The people of Yangzhou hated Gao Jie's troops deeply, and the people were full of resentment, but they even threatened to attack the city with artillery, please long live to make a quick decision.

Zhu Yousong couldn't help scolding after reading this side report: "These crooked soldiers who eat soft food, the enemy is in front of them, the country is in crisis, they don't think about training troops to repair borders, suppress captives and beg for thieves, regain lost ground, but fight in the nest. Cannibalism is really abominable!"

"My lord, who says it's not true? They take the lord's salary, but engage in activities that harm others and benefit themselves. They kill, rob, prostitute, and plunder. They are just like thieves and robbers. They really can't be killed but not kept. The lord has to think about it quickly." There is a way." Li Guofu echoed.

Just decided to attack Huang Chuangzi, Gao Jie is going to force his way into Yangzhou, Gao Jie is not small, he dares to forge a coercive edict, he is guilty of deceiving the emperor and destroying his family, but now is not the time to deal with him, God wants to let him perish , let him be crazy first, let him jump for a few days first, the established plan cannot be changed, but these few towns and soldiers must not be allowed to harm Yangzhou.

Zhu Yousong calmed down, thought for a while, and felt that it was time to start using Shi Gong, and immediately heard about Shi Kefa. In his impression, although Shi Gong was not good at defending the city, he still had a way of mediating mutiny.

More than half an hour later, Shi Kefa knelt down in front of Zhu Yousong, "Shi Kefa, the left servant of the minister's military department, sees His Majesty, may my emperor live long, long live, long live..." He kowtowed.

"Ai Qing is free from courtesy."

"Thank you, long live." Shi Kefa stood up, lowered his head slightly, and waited for the emperor's instructions.

Zhu Yousong took a look at him, "I just received an urgent report from Yangzhou six hundred miles away. Xingping Bo Gaojie forced his way into Yangzhou, which was not tolerated by the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou. Both sides met Chen Bing. Qing is a veteran of the two dynasties. Bingbu humerus, what's the best way?"

The former historian was fined for two years for rewarding Wu Sangui with his words, and was demoted to a higher level. He became more cautious in his words and actions, especially when Ma Shiying and other honorable ministers with deep roots fell again. He was not optimistic about this man at the beginning. Your Majesty's reverence is growing day by day, and he doesn't dare to speak rashly and offer advice easily, for fear that one day he will be involved again.

After all, when he stood up, he foolishly pointed out that His Majesty had seven deadly sins, but in the end he was caught by the old and cunning Ma Shiying and offered to His Majesty to ask for credit. What a bastard, he knows when the emperor wants to deal with him, so he has always been cautious, kept silent, tried to keep a low profile, worked hard in his office, and did not dare to slack off. and blunders.

Therefore, he feels that being an official is tiring, especially being an official in Beijing is even more tiring. He has realized what it means to be with a king like a tiger.

But Zhu Yousong asked him today, so he had no choice but to speak. With his observation skills, he knew that the emperor was unwilling to let Gao Jie lead his troops into Yangzhou, but the lack of major generals in the capital could not deter him, so his eyes rolled Noticing his attention, he quickly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise, most of the frontier generals are rough and untamed, and my Ming Dynasty is in troubled times. Your Majesty has a lot to do and has no time to take care of them. I am a humble minister. I am willing to bring an order to mediate Yangzhou affairs."

What Zhu Yousong wanted was his words. After all, in history, he supervised Yangzhou and mediated the conflicts between these four warlords. Although pretending to be a grandson shamed the imperial power, the four towns in Jiangbei basically accepted his mediation in the end. , There is no big trouble, this is no credit but also hard work, now that Zhu Yousong can't get away, he plans to give up this hard work to Shi Kefa to buffer the situation in front of him.

"Very well, I drafted Dao's will, promoted Renqing to be the governor of Yangzhou, and took full power to deal with Yangzhou affairs. Remember that without my will, none of the four towns' soldiers and horses are allowed to enter Yangzhou City without permission. I have always given clear rewards and punishments. After the matter is settled, I will consider restoring Qing's official salary, the matter in Yangzhou is urgent, and you cannot delay."

"My minister complies with the decree, and I thank you for your kindness. I will definitely live up to the holy order even if I am so heartbroken. Please rest assured, your majesty, I will leave immediately after receiving the order." Leaving Miyagi, Shi Kefa felt more relaxed than ever...
