Wow! Everyone, go to Himalayas and search for the title of this book!
Shi Kefa became the commander-in-chief, and no one cared what he thought.
These soldiers of the Ming Dynasty finally showed some signs of being a yamen soldier.
The rebel rebels have already conquered Nanjing. They have not surrendered yet. They insist on carrying the name of the Ming Dynasty's official army, which is considered a great loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.
And Wu Sheng serves as the nominal supervisor.
Although he said words of comfort to Shi Kefa, he didn't agree with his idea at all.
What Gao Jie said is reasonable. Shi Kefa was in command, just to let people die.
Who is willing to die?
Wu Sheng himself was not willing, he was not that pedantic.
Gao Jie discussed the current situation with several other generals.
Everyone could not stand the strict military discipline of the Hammer Bandits, so they did not want to surrender to He Jinchao until the last moment. They all said that if the Hammer Bandits conquered Nanjing, we would never be able to make a comeback.
Why not go to Zuo Liangyu and hold each other together for warmth, so that you can live longer.
Gao Jie then sent troops to plunder Zhenjiang Mansion.
He listened to Mrs. Xing's words and sent someone to contact He Jinchao secretly to express his readiness to surrender.
However, he had not made any military exploits and was afraid that he would not be taken seriously, so he went to lurk at Zuo Liangyu's place to wait for the commander-in-chief Wang Shi.
He Jinchao laughed a few times after listening to the words of the envoy Gao Jie in front of him, and told him to go back and resume his duties, even if he sent the news about Zuo Liangyu.
After Messenger Gao Jie walked out of the Yamen, He Jinchao laughed twice:
"Gao Jie doesn't have the brains. It was probably Mrs. Xing's idea."
"My lord, are you impressed by Mrs. Xing?"
Xu Yixian on the side asked. He was very interested in the split between two fellow villagers, Li Zicheng and Gao Jie, because of a woman.
He heard that Zhang Xianzhong once teased Li Zicheng about his incompetence, so the women Li Zicheng married without exception all wore colored hats for him.
The most important thing is that they all eloped together, but one couple was caught and slaughtered by him, while the other couple was still at large. The Ming court even used Gao Jie specifically to disgust Li Zicheng.
Of course, it's just that Xu Yixian heard rumors about the handsome man and his wife, so he asked this question.
After all, the marshal "forcibly married" Princess Jin back then.
I heard that there seemed to be a mistress who was a Mongolian widow.
Of course, this matter was not true, and the commander did not admit it.
Lin Dan Khan’s daughters all gave birth to children for the handsome man.
"A female prostitute can help Li Zicheng manage logistics calmly without making any mistakes, after eloping with Gao Jie.
Helping Gao Jie become more powerful, this kind of woman is a proper sister-in-law, and her brains should not be underestimated."
He Jinchao really feels that some women are gifted in certain areas that are easier for ordinary people to find.
With her help, Gao Jie successfully became the eldest brother.
Several staff officers understood the meaning of He Jinchao's words, because he was away on an expedition, and Mrs. Gao also came forward to help solve many problems.
When two couples partner with each other, they are much stronger than if one partner helps the other to do things.
"My lord, Mrs. Xing's plan is to take advantage of everything and surrender only when she is desperate."
Ji Gui pinched his beard and smiled. Of course, this kind of operation was not something that ordinary Ming army generals could react to.
At least in terms of situation judgment, he is relatively good.
He Jinchao also nodded, but it must be said that Mrs. Xing came up with this idea and is currently quite sympathetic to his interests.
After stabilizing southern Zhili, He Jinchao would never allow Zuo Liangyu to lead an army of 200,000 to occupy Hangzhou.
Of course, Zuo Liangyu claims to have an army of 200,000, but Marshal Zuo himself probably has no idea how many subordinates there actually are.
"With this group of officers and soldiers here, we will be more popular with the people in the future." Zhang Fuzhen didn't care.
Whether it is thieves or officers and soldiers, most of the victims are rich and powerful people.
Otherwise, how can everyone live a wealthy life?
Especially Zuo Liangyu's officers and soldiers, how much money can they rob from the poor!
"The defenders of Fengyang must also take action."
After He Jinchao occupied Nanjing, he still governed according to the Taiyuan model, and it is still being carried out effectively.
There were no feudal lords or princes in Nanjing, only a bunch of nobles were left.
Therefore, tasks such as street cleaning are mostly left to them.
"The Sentinels have been out for a long time. They are gathering the information and will report it to the Lord once confirmed."
He Jinchao put down the documents in his hands and nodded.
"Lord, Qian Qianyi would like to see you?"
"I don't have time to see him, let's go another day."
He Jinzhao waved his hand. He had just occupied Nanjing and everything was busy. How could he have time to meet such a person?
"yes."
Qian Qianyi actually came with the "Persuasion Form" this time. As the leader of the Donglin Party, he must seize the opportunity in this matter in order to rise to the top.
He is already sixty and still has several years of political career left, so he must seize the opportunity.
He Jinzhao occupied Nanjing and further expanded his strength. Once the water transportation was cut off, even though Zhu Youjian had an army of 130,000 in his hands, he could not afford to support it.
Coupled with the fact that intruders went to places such as Beizhili in Shandong to cause trouble, the Ming Dynasty's current situation only left a small amount of territory in Beizhili.
There are hostile forces in the south, northwest, and northwest. One day, Chongzhen may not be able to hold Beijing, and the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed.
Looking at the entire world, only He Jinchao has the best chance and strength to win over the entire world and establish a new dynasty.
Since he was already kneeling on the ground asking for surrender, he simply kept bowing his head and firm his faith.
Otherwise, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
There are naturally not a few people who think like Qian Qianyi, so there are many scholars gathered around Qian Qianyi.
In He Jinzhao's view, these people are not even as good as Mao Bijiang and others. They at least have the attitude of starting from being officials.
These people all want to reach the sky in one step, thus occupying high positions and enjoying glory and wealth.
Especially since He Jinchao had no plans to hold the imperial examination, these people also suggested that He Jinchao should get rid of the name "hammer bandit" and open an imperial examination to allow more scholars to serve him.
Only by opening up the voice so widely can we create eternal peace.
These people sing praises very well. Even though Zhang Fuzhen had been a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, he still looked down upon this group of people.
At this time, I am standing outside the Yamen Gate and directly persuade them to go back. The Marshal is currently very busy and has no time to meet you.
If you just want to persuade someone to come in, you can go home and wait for news.
"We wholeheartedly want to join Marshal He, why don't you give us a chance?"
"That's right, we want to see the commander-in-chief."
"I have a great idea that can quickly pacify the southern provinces."
"If the commander-in-chief is willing to reuse us, we will definitely be able to bring peace to the world soon."
Facing the noble words of the scholars, Zhang Fuzhen showed disdain: "You have no ability at all, but your ability to brag is really strong.
Each and every one of them could not even pass the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, and they still dreamed that they could bring peace to the world with their writings. All of them are the reincarnations of Zhuge Wuhou, which is the biggest joke."
Many scholars were furious at Zhang Fuzhen's ridicule, which was indeed a breach of defense.
The Jinshi exam is really difficult.
Otherwise, Fan Jin wouldn't have gone crazy after winning the exam. It was such a surprise.
He yelled that there were sycophants around Jin Chao, and he also said something about Qing Jun being sidelined.
Zhang Fuzhen just asked people to drive away these ignorant dogs. If they dare to make noise here again, they should go to prison to enlighten themselves.
Zuo Liangyu led the vanguard to Lin'an. He had been paying attention to the news in Nanjing.
Especially when he learned that the Hammer Bandits had captured Nanjing, he first sighed, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Zuo Liangyu knew that Shi Kefa was really a useless snack, and he could not defend the city of Nanjing for three days.
Is he the only one who still wants to fight the Hammer Bandits to get a knife?
Even if Zuo Liangyu really obeys Shi Kefa's order, the final result will still not change, and on the contrary, his own head will be involved.
"Why did father sigh?" Zuo Mengeng admired his father's judgment very much.
It was said before that Shi Kefa could defend Nanjing, but he would be defeated by the Hammer Bandits within seven days.
This should be considered too late. He Jinchao's subordinates are not good at digging tunnels, and it is not easy to dig tunnels outside Nanjing.
But now the defenders in Nanjing had their own disarray, so much so that they killed each other.
This news cannot be concealed at all.
What great achievement is just opening the city gate?
Only by capturing enough old Ming Dynasty bureaucrats and nobles and offering them to the Hammer Bandits can they prove to be of great use.
"What I sigh about is that we don't know how long we can stay in Lin'an!"
Zuo Liangyu always felt that after He Jinchao captured Nanjing, he might first deal with Gao Jie in Zhenjiang, then occupy the north bank of the Yangtze River to ensure that he would not be attacked, and then deal with the threat from Fengyang.
The last one is Zuo Liangyu's team.
"When all the army arrives in Lin'an, I will count the troops. But how many soldiers are left in the war? You and I will have a good idea."
"clear."
Zuo Mengeng responded.
If you can no longer live a happy life, the worst possible outcome is to bring down the hammer bandits.
Apart from this ending, Zuo Mengeng doesn't know what other ways out there will be in the future.
Anyway, it is impossible for He to kill the surrendered soldiers now, otherwise he will never think about anyone surrendering to him in the future.
He Jinzhao conquered Nanjing, and in just a few months, he controlled most of the Yangtze River Basin. With his sharp military power, he organized peasant associations, killed officials and gentry, and "won the hearts and minds of the people."
The ruling area included the entire territory of today's Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, and Guangdong.
Part of Henan, Qinghai, Hubei, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Anhui, Yunnan, etc.
Excluding the two counties of Shanxi and some of the chieftains of Sichuan.
Nowadays, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is two-thirds of the world.
The territory of the Ming Dynasty has been cut off in the middle by He Jinchao.
The only area in the south that has not yet been visited is Fujian, where the Zheng family almost has the final say, and they are also He Jinchao's allies after all.
Guizhou, Yunnan and other southbound roads, where Tusi and ethnic minorities live together, are mostly untouched.
Most of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty were on the shoulders of He Jinchao.
Zhu Youjian can now be said to be in peace and light.
Even if he wanted to review the memorials, it would be difficult for newspapers from various places to reach his imperial edict.
The Ming Dynasty left Zuo Liangyu, a powerful official and military representative.
Zhang Xianzhong, who has disappeared for a long time, is developing in Niaoqiao.
As for the north, there are intruders in Henan, Hebei and Shandong in the Central Plains.
What Chongzhen could control was part of the area surrounding the capital, all supported by Wu Guojun, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen.
A 130,000-strong army gathered at the Pass, and under the leadership of Hong Chengchou, they had been confronting the Qing army for two years.
The current war between the two sides has entered a fever pitch.
Both Hong Chengchou and Huang Taiji have reached the last moment.
Huang Taiji can't afford to keep so many soldiers on the front line.
As for Hong Chengchou's last wave of money and food, it was the batch that Shi Kefa made every effort to arrange to be shipped to Tianjin by sea before the fall of Nanjing.
This wave was gone, and Hong Chengchou decided that he would not be able to hold on any longer.
Just the accumulation of human excrement in various parts of Songshan was enough for the Qing army to take them all back to farm and use them as raw materials for fertilization.
It can be said that on the small Songshan front line, more than 200,000 people poop and urinate every day, and this does not include livestock.
Both the Qing and Ming armies were clearly war-weary.
In the long-term confrontation, the generals of both sides are betting on who can't survive it first.
Hong Chengchou believed that Huang Taiji must have been unable to hold on first and attacked the Songshan camp regardless of losses.
He Jinchao, who contributed to the current situation in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, did not pay attention to the war in Liaodong all the time. The various places in the south alone were enough to keep him busy for a long time.
But Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty had always been paying attention to the battlefield in Liaodong, otherwise he would not have ordered people to send money and food when the hammer bandits were rampaging across the Yangtze River and advancing in Huguang.
He Jinchao intended to attack the gentry and landlords, safeguard the rights and interests of farmers, and more importantly, safeguard the interests of those who followed him.
Although Li Zicheng also had the same political goals as He Jinchao, due to the situation, he also accepted the surrender of many landlords, officials and gentry.
After all, only a handful of landowners and gentry were loyal to the Zhu Ming Dynasty. Most people believed that the Ming Dynasty was exhausted, so they placed their hopes on the new regime.
Coupled with the influence of the traditional thought of "success is a king, failure is a bandit", the fall of the Ming Dynasty is regarded as a change of dynasties in history.
A large number of people rushed to join the new regime and become ministers of Dingding.
Although some people are skeptical and fearful, they still follow the trend and become a new way out.
Everyone has to look forward and continue to live. It is impossible to be buried by the Ming Dynasty.
This is just like Qian Qianyi and others, desperately trying to persuade He Jinchao to join the court and tie him to a Confucian chariot.
Because "since ancient times" Confucianism has formulated the etiquette for enthroning or abdication.
But it's obvious that He Jinchao doesn't have a good impression of Confucian etiquette.
He didn't even intend to recognize Yan Shenggong, but had the idea to directly abolish the title at the right time.
Rescue Confucius and defeat the Confucius store.
Confucius was the talisman of the autocratic emperors of the past dynasties, and was also shaped into an idol of autocratic politics by Confucian scholars of the past dynasties.
He Jinchao clearly understood that the Confucius who was distorted and castrated by these Confucian scholars was two different people from the Confucius who was contended by hundreds of schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period.
Confucius was not happy at all when he was alive. After his death, he was put on the mask of a saint. Is that still Confucius himself?
He Jinchao didn't know if the contemporary Yan Shenggong would be ready to lower his rank when King Chuang Li Zicheng attacked Qufu.
After all, they have rich experience in this matter.
If you kneel down and sing a few hymns, your family can inherit a wealthy life for thousands of years. Why can't you kneel down and kneel down?
There are tens of thousands of acres of sacrificial fields around Qufu.
But now He Jinchao has not said this idea in public. The time has not yet come, so he is too lazy to deal with Qian Qianyi and others.
