The Kaizhou city gate opened, and a white flag was picked out from it. A large group of people followed behind the white flag dejectedly and walked forward slowly. Each step seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, and their legs were filled with lead, falling heavily, not only the body, but also the heart!

The one who walked ahead was Wang Zhixiu, the governor of grain. In fact, it can be seen from the name that he was specifically responsible for supervising the transportation of grain. To put it bluntly, he was plundering the land, which was full of fat.

Wang Zhixiu was originally a juren from the Ming Dynasty. When the Tartars came, he took out his home savings of 50,000 taels and bought a food supervision road. However, before working for the first half of the year, An** came!

Starting yesterday, a fierce cannon made Kaizhou shaking, killing the defenders in the city. Wang Zhixiu was originally expecting Deputy General Guo Chong to withstand An**'s attack and wait for reinforcements to arrive. However, in the second half of the night, Guo Chong actually disguised himself and asked his subordinates to tie him down from the city, abandon Kaizhou, and ran away alone.

Only a literati like Wang Zhixiu was left. He committed suicide by wiping his neck. He had no courage and could only choose to surrender. The officials of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Zhixiu, led by the head, held his top clothes in his hands, with his head naked, and his braided braids suddenly stood up, following the steps towards An**.

"stop!"

When he was five hundred meters away from the An** camp, more than a dozen riders came quickly and stopped them. The leader was Qi Hanyuan. He squinted his eyes and was too lazy to look at these people, so he threw the razor in front of them.

"The prince has an order to shave the pig's tail immediately and peel off all the dirty skin on your body. The land of the dignified Han family cannot let these annoying things be filthy!"

Wang Zhixiu was so scared that her face was pale. He picked up the scissors and said tremblingly: "Mr. Jun., the sinner is willing to shave his hair. But this is not easy to deal with when there is no water or a master who shaves his hair!"

Qi Hanyuan sneered: "If you can't enter the military camp within a quarter of an hour, if you see that, there will be musketeers around you. They will send you to hell!"

The cold words pushed Wang Zhixiu to the 39th heaven, and his whole body was trembling. Cold sweat flowed, and he had no doubt about the authenticity. He could only grit his teeth and said to the person behind him: "Dear brothers Nian, don't be idle. Help shave your braids!"

The Puyang County Magistrate trembled and grabbed the razor and said, "Brother Wang, hold on to it a little. I have killed pigs in my early years and I still have accurate hands. Don't worry."

The man took the knife and shaved it down at Wang Zhixiu's head. A stream of blood emerged from Wang Zhixiu's scalp!

"ah!"

...

"Prince, the Feige who just arrived sent a letter!" Wu Kaijie excitedly delivered a note to Gu Zhenhua.

Gu Zhenhua glanced at him and couldn't help but think: "Our army relied on the lives of the soldiers. He marched quickly for four and a half days to Handan. He killed the horse and seized the city. At this time, the Tatars Li Rutai led his troops to attack. Li Laiheng and the two generals of Ma Wannian fought bravely to resist the Tartars. They rushed to the army in time and acted together to defeat 15,000 Tartar cavalry. More than 6,000 captives, 8,000 horses, and incomplete supplies. At this time, our army was actively strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, strengthening defense, and waiting to face the Tartars army!"

"Prince, General Li Xu is indeed powerful. He took Handan with one move and gave the war a good start. I think he should notify the entire army immediately!"

Gu Zhenhua nodded with a smile: "It's true that the fight is good, but don't be too happy too early. Our main force is still three days away from Handan, and there is also a Daming Mansion, which has accumulated a lot of Tartar soldiers. It must be taken down as soon as possible. Li Xu and his team, who are more than 10,000, have even fought one after another. Don't forget that Dorgon has hundreds of thousands of troops! Only when the main force arrives at Handan can the overall situation be considered to be determined!"

Wu Kaijie said: "Prince, all the officials in Kaizhou surrender now. I believe that General Guo Yunlong should go north immediately so that he can stop the fighter's opportunity!"

"Well, let's arrange it now."

When his subordinates went to pass the order, Gu Zhenhua looked very serious. Wu Kaijie couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Prince, although Dorgon has many troops, he is just a mob that is pieced together. He is not too worried. He dares to guarantee that he will win in one battle!"

Gu Zhenhua smiled sadly: "What I am worried about is no longer the Tartars."

Wu Kaijie's heart moved and said, "Is the prince doing it for the Zhongzhou Forum?"

Gu Zhenhua did not answer, and Wu Kaijie was also thinking, saying, "Prince, I copy and report every day. Huang Zongxi and others still adhered to the prince's intentions, advocated restricting the imperial power, enacting laws and regulations, integrating the upper and lower levels, and equality of all people. But, just..."

"Just what?"

Wu Kaijie looked embarrassed, "Prince, those civil officials and ministers generally opposed it. Even many of us have ideas to grant a wife and son. Who wouldn't want to earn a hereditary title? But what's the original intention of the prince..."

At this time, Gu Zhenhua was not afraid of a fire in the backyard. He let everyone discuss the political system. In fact, there were considerable risks. Floating people's hearts and fighting situations was not a good thing. But he had to do so. Once he really defeated the Tartars and restored the capital. By that time, Zhu Cilang would be regarded as the leader of the revival, and his prestige would increase greatly.

On the other hand, An** and his team will also expand their ambitions and support Gu Zhenhua to wear a yellow robe, so that they can be heroes of the founding of the country from Long!

In this way, both sides will inevitably be incompatible and there will be no chance of recovery. When he arrived at Gu Zhenhua's position, he clearly understood what it means to be involuntarily. If he didn't set the framework at this time, he would be afraid that he would not be able to do it in the future!

"Civil officials naturally have to object, but don't care. Their own people must unify their thinking. Tell them that their children and families can take proper care of them, but they must not become superiors or blood-sucking insects! As for the fact that they really want to be hereditary, there are countless lands overseas, and in the future, I will inevitably conquer overseas. Their chances are that being a delicious king is better than a captive prince!"

It took only three years since An** was established, and it took only three years to drive out the Qing Tartars. How many three years would there be? Besides, most of these generals were in their twenties and thirties, and they were in full spirit and forge ahead. Instead of waiting for the opportunity to be crowned kings and marquis in China, it would be better to make a new world overseas. It is better to be a chicken than a queen. Everyone understands this principle!

Wu Kaijie's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Prince, are you really planning to build a lot of countries overseas?"

"Isn't that possible?"

"Of course not, but once you raise a tiger, it may be inappropriate. Dividing feudals has always been a taboo, such as the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion of the Han Dynasty and the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty. Some people in the country are likely to oppose it."

"Hahaha, you still haven't thought it through. Is An**'s war now relying on a few famous generals? To be honest, my king's level is probably not a match for Qi Jiguang, but I can sweep the Tartars and plot overseas! It depends on those workshops, skilled craftsmen, and unprecedented financial resources. Even if the overseas kings are enfeoffed, what kind of production do they have? If they want to sell them to the Celestial Empire, they need to buy goods from the Celestial Empire. With such a close connection, they dare not make trouble! Not only will they not make trouble, they will also become our barriers and thugs. As long as the Celestial Empire is not confused or confused, there is no country in this world that can bully the Celestial Empire!"

When Gu Zhenhua said this, he felt strong confidence! Of course, with China's size, he also had this confidence. The Mongolian Yuan and the Qing Dynasty only took advantage of the decline of China's internal and external troubles and succeeded by luck. The main reason why modern China was constantly humiliated was that the Qing Dynasty's seclusion and self-confidence made China unable to catch up with the wave of industrialization. It caused the situation of industrial Japan fighting against agricultural China!

Only the level of civilization at different levels has unforgettable and painful lessons! Now under the leadership of Gu Zhenhua, China has made rapid preparations for the industrial era and has also turned its attention overseas. There is no worry about being closed to the country at all.

"Three Regulations!" Gu Zhenhua stretched out his finger without hesitation and said: "First, abolish the king and father, the emperor obeys the people's opinions rather than the destiny, represents the country, and governs with mercy. Second, the cabinet, the chief assistant becomes the prime minister, selects capable ministers, upholds the rule according to the law, and seeks profit for the people. Third, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, selects representatives in various fields, enriches the Censorate, supervises the emperor and officials, and impeaches illegal personnel."

Gu Zhenhua's three items made Wu Kaijie tremble and tremble. To put it bluntly, these three items were equivalent to digging the ancestral grave of the imperial power. Their methods were so ruthless that they were simply shocking!

The sacred imperial power was restricted, the king and father were no longer arrogant, and the administrative power was criticized in the hands of the prime minister. The scholars' group did not want to dominate the officialdom, and the agriculture, industry and commerce were involved. The structure of society had a earth-shaking reshuffle.

The pre-Qin philosophers argued about a great unification and the imperial power of the world. Two thousand years have passed, and now the era of equally drastic changes has come again. If you can keep up with the times, you can create achievements that will go down in history. If you can't keep up, you can only be ruthlessly abandoned!

Wu Kaijie took a deep breath and bowed and said, "Your Majesty's meaning is humble and tell them immediately, and I promise to come up with a plan that can be a teacher for a hundred generations!"

...

"That's great, it's great!" Huang Zongxi swung his fist excitedly and smashed it on the table.

A dozen young scholars sitting around him stared at him. A scholar in his early thirties on his left couldn't help but ask, "Brother Huang, is there any happy event?"

"Hahaha, Brother Gu, look at this, from now on, there will be no king or father!"

Huang Zongxi showed the note in his hand to everyone. All of them were so shocked that they held their breath, they were all disbelief, and turned to think.

The next day, the Zhongzhou Forum officially started, and Gu Yanwu was the first to walk onto the podium. He looked at the thousands of people below the audience and felt excited.
Chapter completed!
