The atmosphere was very lively.
King Yu was ambitious and filial to heaven and earth, and vowed to capture Xiaoling and comfort the spirit of Taizu in heaven.
The gentry burst into tears, happy for the return of the Ming Dynasty, and sad for the capture of Emperor Hongguang.
However, after a banquet, King Yu's expression suddenly became much gloomier.
Victory was getting closer, but his heart was extremely unhappy.
The city of Nanjing is too big to be defended easily. Unless Hong Chengchou can spread the beans and form an army, he will not be able to defend it at all.
"Your Highness, the city of Hangzhou has been destroyed and King Lu has been captured."
"The King of Lu supervised the country in Taizhou, Zhejiang, and the King Yi supervised the country in Fuzhou, Jiangxi. In addition, rumors spread that the King of Tang supervised the country in Fuzhou, and the King of Jingjiang supervised the country in Guilin..."
"Everyone is watching the artifact!"
Zhu Yixi shook her head, it was quite ridiculous for these people to overestimate their abilities.
But he also understood that even though he was the strongest, his branches were too far away and it was difficult to convince the public in terms of clan order.
Local officials are also waiting for opportunities to gain support.
At that time, when Emperor Hongguang took charge of the country, no clan in the world dared to cause trouble, and the place was stable.
This is the legal principle!
Therefore, he knew that the gentry was extremely poisonous and was the fundamental factor in the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not dare to go beyond it in the slightest.
He's not the only option.
Before he could unify the South, or even the whole country, he would have to endure everything.
Before you are truly strong, the most important thing is to preserve and strengthen yourself.
After all, it is a united front against the Qing Dynasty, and it will not be too late to settle accounts after the fall.
Under the banner of anti-Japanese resistance, landlords can no longer fight. This needs to be learned.
"In Nanjing City, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming assisted in the defense, and some Manchu Eight Banners changed the imperial palace to Manchu City."
"In addition, there are 50,000 troops in Yangzhou City, led by Wu Sangui and Liu Zeqing's generals Zheng Longfang and Yao Wenchang."
Sun Changzhou looked at King Yu's increasingly taller back, and his words became more concise and decisive.
"Checks and balances!!!"
Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice.
Wu Sangui was once a general under Hong Chengchou, so Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming were in Nanjing.
Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army naturally looked down on Liu Zeqing's troops and despised each other.
Sun Changzhou was silent, raised his head and said, "Do you want to assassinate?"
"It's not that simple."
Zhu Yixi shook his head. Those generals lived and ate in the military camps, and Hong Chengchou was protected by hundreds of soldiers. Of course he knew that he was not welcome.
"The city of Nanjing is within easy reach."
His Royal Highness Jianguo said confidently, and immediately his face showed his thoughts: "The only thing to worry about is to capture Nanjing. How will we govern Southern Zhili next?"
It is undeniable that the Jiangnan area is the foundation of the Donglin Party, with great influence from villages to towns.
If we don't appease them, there will never be peace at all.
Similarly, after appeasing them, there is no way to talk about collecting taxes or anything like that.
So it must be divided and disintegrated.
The entire Donglin Party cannot be rejected just because of certain people.
The original intention of the establishment of the Donglin Party was good, but it was distorted. Some people are still worth winning over, such as true gentlemen like Zhang Shenyan.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but think about the British bourgeois revolution that she had seen.
The so-called English Civil War was nothing more than Cromwell, a business aristocrat, defeating King Charles I, who was supported by the landed aristocracy.
And the fight was to resist Charles I's taxation and put down the Scottish rebellion.
The Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty had conflicts with the emperor and also raised taxes.
The reason why the United States rebelled against Britain was also to resist the tea tax and alleviate the financial difficulties of the empire.
So, according to the history textbook, am I not on the opposite side?
But why is the Donglin Party being scolded?
Zhu Yixi thought for a while and smiled: "The Donglin Party's brand in the early stage was still too big, and the contrast between its traitorous behavior is disgusting." Gu
Thinking of this, His Highness Prince Yu became more determined to separate and disintegrate.
…
At this time, in the city of Beijing.
Prince Azig of England returned to Beijing with a large amount of goods and soldiers.
The emperor's uncle and regent Dorgon personally came out of the city to greet him, which made Azig quite happy.
Immediately, in the Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Shunzhi sat high, and the title was Prince Heshuo Yongying. The title reached four characters.
He was given a golden belt, a palace, a sword, countless gold and silver jewels, and he approved all recommendations for generals.
Now, in name, he became the second-ranking prince after Dorgon, and his power increased greatly.
This gift temporarily calmed Azig's resentment.
But he didn't know that when he was recalled, not only did Hong Chengchou succeed him as governor, but he also ordered Dorobele Leke Dehun and Gushan Ezhen Yechen to guard important towns such as Nanjing and Yangzhou.
“It’s very lively in Azige!”
Dorgon flipped through the memorials, each Chinese character making him dizzy, and he immediately put it aside, out of sight and out of mind.
Feng Quan was waiting on the side. When he heard the words, he couldn't help but said: "Prince Ying has made great achievements, and many courtiers are fawning over him, especially those Nanchen, who are extremely flattering."
"Yeah?"
Dorgon had a dark face and said with a smile: "After a hard battle, what's the point of letting him be happy for a few days?"
Feng Quan smiled apologetically. Of course he understood that the regent didn't mean what he said.
Compared with the clever Duduo, Azig is rude, speaks without thinking, and often uses his elder brother's identity to support his elders.
Nowadays, he has conquered Jiangnan, and he is rampant when he succeeds. He is bent on becoming famous and trying to take the title of regent from his uncle.
Dorgon didn't think so and brought the memorial again, and at a glance it turned out that it was to impeach Feng Quan.
Censor Wu Dashu said: "Today's employment of people is based on the Ming Dynasty... Those who rebel against the party's power wing and are greedy and corrupt are the ones who were deposed in the Ming Dynasty and must be deposed today."
To put it bluntly, it is to impeach Feng Quan’s former eunuch status.
"Look!"
Feng Quan looked at it and his knees weakened: "Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
"I see!"
Dorgon said indifferently: "What do the old things in the past mean? How can I not know your Feng Quan's ability?"
From this, Feng Quan breathed a sigh of relief.
Dorgon dug out another memorial, which was to impeach Prince Su Hauge.
After looking again and again, Dorgon sighed and said, "Now is not the time!"
The next day, there was a court meeting at Wuying Palace.
It seemed that because of capturing Jiangnan, everyone was beaming and in high spirits.
Dorgon glanced at Azig, and his good mood was instantly ruined.
At this time, military news came, and Tengjisi and Tengjite from the Sunit tribe of Khalkha Mongolia raised their troops to move eastward.
Dorgon was overjoyed. He finally found an opportunity, and quickly appointed Azig as the general of the Fu army, leading 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry to put down the rebellion.
Azig was lifted up and reluctantly obeyed.
At this time, in the court hall, the Manchu and Han people were clearly divided into two groups.
Sun Zhixian, who was caught between the two, was in a desperate situation, unable to advance or retreat.
It turns out that when Hong Kong entered Beijing, Dorgon required officials and people everywhere to shave their hair and change clothes, and they all abided by this dynasty.
But in the past two years, the Han ministers remained indifferent and still had long hair and wide robes, which was very different from the Manchu ministers.
Dorgon and many Manchus believed that this distinction could better maintain the bloodline of the Manchus and prevent Chineseization.
However, in order to please the regent, Sun Zhixian not only shaved his hair and grew braids, but also changed into the clothes of a Manchu official.
When he went to court, the Manban minister said that he was a Han and he was not allowed to join the ban; the Hanban minister said that he was dressed as a Manchu and did not want him.
In this way, he became a middle-aged man and was in such a miserable state.
When he returned home, he became more and more angry as he thought about it, and wrote a memorial directly:
"Your Majesty has pacified China and made everything new. However, the system of clothes, hats, and hair only remains the old Han Dynasty. This is Your Majesty's coming from China, not China's coming from Your Majesty."
