Shang Yi smiled faintly, waved his hand, and said, "Young Master Hou is too polite. I really dare not take it. I resist the Qing enemy and defend the country. I am just doing my duty as a minister." But I was thinking in my heart,
When Hou Fangyu came to Fengyang to find him, he would never just praise him for his words.
Chen Zhenhui also said: "The heart of the military is like the bright moon. It's a pity that the traitors in the court are now in charge of the wise and block the road of wise men. Even if the military masters are fighting bloody outside, they are afraid they will inevitably be jealous of the traitors and will have a rare good end. Now they are looking at Qing
The enemy army was approaching, and Ma Shiying also left Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo's two troops in Jiangnan, and only let the army guard the Huaixi. This was clearly intended to use the Qing captains to cause the army to be in danger. His heart was cruel to him.
”
Shang Yi thought to himself, although Ma Shiying is not a good person, your Donglin Party is not a good person. As long as you don’t make trouble, you are better than anything else. He said: “I am just a foreign minister. It’s not convenient to ask about the affairs in the court.
, just do your own responsibilities and have a clear conscience, that's it."
Hou Fangyu said: "It's not all that. Ma Shiying actually forgot the grudge of the king and father, colluded with Li Ni, and openly gave him the throne of duke. Such behavior is like a rebellious person, and the heart of an unofficial person is confused.
, using the power to accomplish it, I am afraid that I will go to the Imperial Church, don’t the military sect want to revive the court and do their best?”
Shang Yi shook his head and said, "I was a military general. But now he was in a war and was able to serve as a patrol officer. According to the rules of this court, military generals are not allowed to interfere in state affairs, so how can they go beyond the circumstances?"
Hou Fangyu said: "Don't the military gate be in a hurry to follow the power without knowing the matter? Now the military gate holds heavy troops and is also doing great things to defeat the Qing captives and rely on the people of Jiangnan. How can we not do something for the country and the people?
”
Shang Yi stared at Hou Fangyu and said, "I wonder what Mr. Hou thinks, what should I do?"
Hou Fangyu said: "Please immediately recruit troops from Zhejiang to Beijing, clear the emperor's side, and be in charge of the court."
Shang Yi sneered in his heart. The Donglin Party was really afraid that the world would not be in chaos. Zuo Liangyu had just stopped. Now someone came to persuade him to lead his troops into Nanjing. In fact, he was just provoking the civil war in the Ming Dynasty again, and he ignored it.
Now that the Qing army has been in a big army, the entire south is actually in crisis, he said, "Does Mr. Hou be the second son of Zuo Liangyu?"
Chen Zhenhui hurriedly said, "The military gate misunderstood. Zuo Liangyu was arrogant and looked down upon the court. This time she just used the name of a fake prince, called her guard, but she was actually a rebellion. However, the military gate was always loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Children also know that they have made great achievements in their fight, so how can they be confused?”
Hou Fangyu also said: "Yes, if the military army raises troops, clears the monarchy, and eliminates traitors for the country, it is a move that conforms to the will of heaven and follows the will of the people. We also ask the military army to be the plan of the world and quickly launch a righteous army."
Lin Zhihu also checked his mouth and said, "Yes, Shang Yi, we have discussed it. Now you are the only one who can raise an army to attack Ma Shiying, so don't hesitate too much."
It turned out that Zuo Liangyu died of illness, the Zuo Army was defeated, and the Donglin Party was also disappointed. Ma Shiying ignored the opposition of the ministers and insisted on surrendering the Dashun Army, which immediately aroused unanimous anger from the Donglin Party, but at this time, Dong
The Lin Party basically has no power in the court, and Qian Qianyi can only be clever and protect himself. Wu Yan was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the Donglin Party, so he naturally would not speak for them.
However, some of the Donglin Party was inspired by Zuo Liangyu's body. It seems that to defeat Ma Shiying, external forces must be used. Now it seems that only Shang Yi has this strength.
Although this opinion was opposed by some Donglin Party, because Shang Yi helped Ma Shiying a lot in defensively in the matter of defending the prince, Shang Yi did it very carefully, almost perfectly, no one can do it.
Nothing can be blamed, so some Donglin Party believe that Shang Yi just told the truth, which does not mean that Shang Yi turned to Ma Shiying. On the contrary, this also proves that Shang Yi is loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Now, Ma Shiying
If Li Zicheng is openly surrendered, maybe Shang Yi will send troops to fight for the horse.
The other two bigwigs of Donglin, Qian Qianyi and Hou Xun, also adopted a tacit attitude towards this opinion, so this group of people also acted immediately, first found Lin Zhihu to help, asked him to lead, and sent two people to do so.
A very important figure asked Hou Fangyu and Chen Zhenhui to come forward to persuade Shang Yi.
Although Lin Zhihu doesn't think much of Shang Yi, he can only be regarded as a small role in Fushe. Now he has suddenly become a big deal and is quite flattered. He also wants to take this opportunity to make a contribution to Dong Lin.
He took a job and took office, so he was happy to obey his orders.
Although the Nanjing court left Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo in Jiangnan, Shang Yi did not have the idea of overthrowing the Nanjing court. Moreover, the surrender of Li Zicheng was simply Shang Yi's suggestion. This was also the only feasible strategy to resist the Qing army's invasion in the south.
It was the Donglin Party, and now it was really crazy. Therefore, Shang Yi didn't want to talk to them too much and said directly: "So, can you ask the two young masters? This is the opinion of the two young masters, or does it represent everyone in Donglin.
Public opinion.”
Hou Fangyu and Chen Zhenhui looked at each other, but they didn't expect Shang Yi would ask such a question, and didn't know how to answer it for a while. It was Lin Zhihu and said, "Of course, this is of course all of us Donglin people, and there is also Fu
The unanimous opinions of all the people in the society hope that you will be the first righteous teacher to serve as the court..."
Before he finished speaking, Hou Fangyu glared at him fiercely, and Chen Zhenhui hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said, "Nanjing scholars, farmers, industry and businessmen, etc., all hate Ma Shiying to the core, so as long as the military gate raises the flag and calls.
, those who follow will inevitably follow like clouds.”
Shang Yi snorted, Chen Zhenhui didn't answer this positively at all. Donglin Party was indeed very shameless. He obviously did it himself, but he didn't dare to admit it. He immediately said: "So, Mr. Qian
, Mr. Hou, Mr. Nan Lei and Mr. Nian Tai, have they all agreed?"
Shang Yi asked famously, and now Hou Fangyu and Chen Zhenhui didn't know how to answer. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward, and although Lin Zhihu didn't know where he said that just now,
But he didn't dare to interrupt, so he had to look at everyone at a loss, but he really didn't understand why Hou Fangyu and Chen Zhenhui were talking hesitantly and vaguely.
After a while, Shang Yi smiled and said, "It is of course a duty to clear the emperor and eliminate traitors for the country. However, you must be famous for your troops. You are just a military general, with a small reputation, so please wait for your son and Chen.
Returning to Nanjing, I asked Mr. Qian or Mr. Nan Lei to write a manifesto, and the two young masters signed a joint letter, and then asked Mr. Hou Lao, or a respected person like Mr. Niantai to take charge of our army and preside over the overall situation.
, None of them is indispensable, so I will send troops immediately. What do you think of this?"
Hou Fangyu and Chen Zhenhui all of a sudden became very ugly because they could not do the request made by Shang Yi. If they agreed verbally, it would be nothing, but they would not admit their accounts in the future. Once they were written in black and white, He also sent troops to Shang Yi's army, but he was sitting down and couldn't shake it out in the future.
Lin Zhihu didn't know anything and thought he was really eliminating traitors for the country, but Hou Fangyu and Chen Zhenhui knew in their hearts that the sanctions of the king, the court rules, and the eliminating traitors for the country, to put it nicely, it was actually rebellion. Zhu Di rebelled under the banner of "Jingnan", and finally became the emperor. However, later generations still regarded him as a usurper. Moreover, the Donglin Party wanted to be both a archway and a archway.
Therefore, although Hou Xun, Qian Qianyi and others acquiesced to encourage Shang Yi to take this lead, they all made up their minds to never show up. To put it bluntly, they asked Shang Yi to bear the charge of rebellion, and they had already hid behind them. Just take advantage of the profits. When it is necessary, you can use the reasons for rebellion to expel Shang Yi from the political center of Nanjing.
The Donglin Party thought that his abacus was very good, but he knew that Shang Yi was even more terrifying. He just forced Qian Qianyi to write a manifesto, and asked Hou Xun to take charge of the overall situation. The reason was also said. It is high-sounding and has sufficient reason, so Hou Fangyu and Chen Zhenhui also have a cold forehead and can't answer at all.
Shang Yi looked at them coldly, and the room suddenly became silent again. I don’t know how long it took, but a sound suddenly came from the door: “Report.” It broke the silence in the room.
Shang Yi said: "Come in."
A guard walked into the house, stood attentively saluted Shang Yi, then handed Shang Yi a piece of paper with both hands, and said, "Report to the military gate, I just received the information sent back from the reconnaissance battalion."
Shang Yi took the paper, gave him a gift, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
The soldier withdrew from the house. Shang Yi looked at it and immediately said, "Uncle Wu, Mr. Hou, Mr. Chen just received the news that Duoduo, Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty, had dispatched 150,000 troops to send troops from Shouzhou. Come and attack Fengyang."
After hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but change their color. Unexpectedly, they had just arrived in Fengyang and before they could sit firmly, the Qing army came over. Lin Zhihu hurriedly asked, "Yiheng, how about it, can you resist it. Can you stand by the Qing army?"
Shang Yi said lightly: "I do my best and cannot stop the Qing army. At most, I will sacrifice my life for the country. As for the Qing dynasty, I will talk about it when I have the fate to repel the Qing army. But the horses here will start fighting. ,Fifth Uncle, Mr. Hou, Mr. Chen, are you three staying here to resist the Qing army with me? Or leave Fengyang as soon as possible and flee back to Nanjing?"
Hou Fangyu and Chen Zhenhui couldn't hear the sarcasm in Shang Yi's words, but they didn't dare to force themselves to stay in Fengyang, so they all looked as if they were so blue, and they turned around and left, only Lin Zhihu He was stupid and hadn't understood what was going on. He looked at Shang Yi and hurriedly chased him out.
