Chapter 536 After the initial decision

"...The war between the Eastern Empire and the rioters was extremely cruel. Perhaps the landlords and bureaucrats could not accept that the system they maintained was destroyed. However, for Li Meng, a duke of the Ming Empire who rose within this system, who was a self-proclaimed prince, he accepted it without reservation..."

"This is almost the most peaceful civil war I have learned. When the prince's army in the north came across the river, the ministers in the city had already opened the city gate. The largest fortress on the stone steps fell without any suspense. At that time, a senior Ming bureaucrat was praying in the church. When his family told him the news, he said lightly, "It's okay, let's talk about it after praying..." At first, I thought he was calm, but later I realized that the situation was very safe and he didn't need to worry about it..."

"... At first I thought my property would be robbed by the army, and I was worried that my Ming friends were all alternate officials of this country, but the army in the north came too fast, and it was too late to hide... When I woke up from bed nervously, I didn't feel anything abnormal until I had dinner. My friend even asked me to go to Qinhuai River for entertainment..."

"The scholars in the south of the Ming Empire were so hypocritical that they cried bitterly, and even wrote articles to scold the ambitious man in the north... It was not until three years later that I and a customs official in the north were having a banquet that the wealthy scholars in the south had a lot of investment in the north and were protected by the emperor. Their relationship had long been very close..."

"Although I was ridiculed, I still have to persevere. This ancient and declining empire must have suddenly happened in a very magical situation, otherwise their military technology will suddenly catch up..."

"...In the grasslands and forests in the north, there are Tatars and Jurchen barbarians, and in the south, there are Ming warlords and riot peasants. But no matter who it is, even the forces mentioned above admit that it is only a matter of time before the great prince Li Meng unified the entire China and defeated all his enemies..."

Regarding the successful entry of the King of Qi into Nanjing, there are various statements in history books. The more common explanation is that everyone hopes for, and the people follow the scenery.

The people of kindness and ambition in the world have long been waiting for the arrival of Jiaozhou Camp, so they spontaneously opened the city gate to welcome it. This high-sounding statement is not accepted at all. It is nothing more than whitewashing the peace and praising the Huachao.

Most of the truth is in the notes and memoirs of some Western missionaries and merchants, and some private records of literati can also be confirmed by each other.

At the beginning, the truth party was very excited, thinking that the Jiaozhou Camp could find the argument that it was bleeding from the head of the city and suffered heavy losses. Who would have thought that the Westerners' records were also calm.

"...The army directly under the military minister Ma Shiying opened the city gate, and the troops of the chief eunuch Lu Jiude and Duke Xu's troops joined forces to counterattack. However, after the infantry regiment in the north entered the city, all resistance disappeared, as if all wars had not happened. The senior bureaucrats and nobles quickly began to surrender..."

On the contrary, the above descriptions of the wealthy families in the south are quite interesting and have become the object of citations by many articles, especially some spicy essays.

In fact, the only defenses arranged by the entire southern Zhili area were prepared to fight were General Yingtian Huang Degong, but the resistance he arranged collapsed under an edict from Emperor Hongguang Zhu Cilang. If he was a loyal minister, he would have to obey the emperor's will. Since the emperor ordered you to surrender, if you resist the order, you would be disloyal.

As for Huama, Liu and Liangzuo handed over the army early, packed up their gold, silver and soft materials, and prepared Jiaozhou Camp to come and accept it at any time.

He sent someone to inquire about the matter in the north. Gao Jie, who was similar to him, was directly deprived of military power. Gao Di almost lost his life, so it would be better to be more sensible.

The chief minister of the Southern Ming Cabinet and the Minister of Rites Liu Zongzhou, a great scholar of the generation, was a square man and considered to be the most likely to die for his country. When the news of the city was broken, he was giving lectures to the little emperor.

Several of his disciples stared at his teacher nervously, for fear that Lu Xiufu, who was learning Yashan from Liu Zongzhou, would jump to somewhere with the little emperor on his back.

But Liu Zongzhou was only stunned for a while when he heard the news. When he saw the little emperor crying a few times, he showed a relief expression on his face. He just sighed and said:

"Your Majesty, you are still young, and you don't need to mention governing the world now. You also need to learn your own cultivation. Are you willing to be my disciple?"

When everyone in the study looked at each other with strangeness and a sigh of relief when they heard Liu Zongzhou calling himself "me" to Zhu Cilang.

The most depressing person should be General Ma Gang of Pingnan. His southern expedition was not a battle at all, but an armed parade. The shells consumed no more than double digits and the lead shells did not exceed four digits. Think about it, he was originally the chief general under the throne of Qi.

But now Zhao Neng is fighting in Shaanxi, and in the future, the Shaanxi Front Army will naturally be against Xi Mongolia. Chen Liu has already captured Xiangyang. Although the battle is also loose, it is much better than capturing Nanjing by himself. Wang Hai is focusing on dealing with the Tartars.

It was obvious that his contribution was not conspicuous. He was now particularly envious of Wang Hai. Although everyone knew that fighting the Tartars was the hardest, everyone close to the King of Qi knew that the deep hatred of the King of Qi against the Tartars was better than the 100,000 contribution of the Ming army.

There are two places worth taking action at the moment, one is Zuo Liangyu, the Duke of Ningnan who is entrenched in Jiangxi and Wuchang, and the other is Zhang Xianzhong, who claims to be the Eight Kings.

But no matter how these two enemies are planning to defeat Xiangyang and carry out the Huguang strategy, Chen Liu will face the battle faster. If he doesn't defeat Zhejiang, he will really not be able to make any move.

Zhejiang has no strong soldiers, but it will not take any effort to fight, but the real trouble is that the territory of two provinces is, and it will take a lot of time to completely pacify it.

The reactions from all aspects of the local area were ignored by the generals of various ways, and they were almost the same as those of the secretary-general manager Yuan Wenhong. The next day, Ma Gang's urgent report was sent over. The crossing of the river was successful and the momentum was unstoppable.

The news was soon sent to all directions by the Qi Palace and made public to the world. After hearing this news, everyone was happy and satisfied. Now, it can be said that the world has been settled and the rest is not enough to cause trouble. In Jinan, there are all officials, military generals, staff from various yamen and their families. No matter what, they are all ministers of the dragon, and wealth and safety can be guaranteed.

Another interesting thing is that the Jinan Prefectural Office received a notice from the Inquiry Department, saying that among the newly moved people in Jinan City, three people need to pay attention to, one is named He Renlong, one is named Bai Guangen, and the other is named Gao Di. They all brought their families and Sishuo here to be a prosperous family man.

After the battle between the Ming army and the Shun army in Xiangcheng, He Renlong and Bai Guangen really let the enemy escape, but there was no news about the general Xu Dingguo, the Shanxi general, and perhaps he died among the chaos.

He Renlong and Bai Guangen were also surrounded by these loyal subordinates, all of whom were fighting old wars. Relying on these men, returning to the local area to carry some light men is also a considerable force. However, both of them knew in their hearts that no matter how they gathered their men, they would not be the opponent of Shandong. It was a great blessing to be able to escape, so why bother to die again?

The family and property are still there, but this situation is that the King of Qi is going to unify the world. If you want to raise an army to become an enemy, you are seeking death. But just staying in the village like this, who knows if anyone will hand over them as a successful work? Since that is the case, it is better to live openly where the King of Qi can see the eyelids. Anyway, he is also a good citizen there. The King of Qi also wants to give the people of the world a magnanimous attitude. Now who is still trying to live a peaceful life is satisfied.

Not only these people had this idea, but also had ordinary plans for commanding soldiers in the Ming Dynasty and those who had no noble status. Huang Degong from Jiangnan and Liu Liangzuo had similar thoughts, and Wu Sangui outside the pass was said to be the same.

These people no longer intend to enter the officialdom again, and they do not have this opportunity, but after all, they are from military generals, and their relatives still want to make progress. They all heard that Chen Yongfu's son Chen De is now the garrison of the King of Qi directly under the army. His children can also join the army near the water and tower, and in the future they can also gain an official position in the new dynasty.

Their own children are all martial families, so they are confident in training and physical fitness, but this also brings a benefit. In the first year of Hua and the second year of Hua, the soldiers directly under Li Meng's army were of high quality, and these people all made great achievements.

What Su Anqi has to do now is to make special arrangements for yamen runners to follow. The more meticulous work must be arranged by the Inspectorate Department, so there is no need to worry too much.

After he went to make a statement on this day, someone from the Qi Palace came to order the next day to ask Jing, the resolute criminal who was detained in the magistrate's prison. This is also a helpless task. At present, the resolute criminals in Jinan City are all detained in the prison of the original Jinan Prefecture's government, and the new prison is still under construction.

The Nestor Nestle Sect had long been no longer uprising and his previous high-spirited appearance. He finally knew why the King of Qi was King of Qi, but he could only be the leader of the Maitreya Sect. He was in prison every day, and although he started to suffer a little, he was just imprisoned later, but the courage of the Nestor Nestle Sect was already scared.

When he was taken to the Qi Palace, the man was already limp on the ground and dared not move. He heard someone ask him with a smile:

"Do you want to die or live..."
