After seeing Feng Ruoshu talking about the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Hongsan suddenly remembered that he saw Zhang Jiayu, the young man on the dock. Zhu Hongsan asked, "Who is that Zhang Jiayu?"

Feng Ruoshu said, "He is very famous. He was the top scholar in the palace examination in the 16th year of Chongzhen, and then selected Shuji Shi. However, after he was defeated in the capital, he took the initiative to submit a letter to Li Zicheng, expressing his willingness to serve the rebel army. Then he saw that Li Zicheng was defeated by the Qing Dynasty and went south to Nanzhili to get a job. The ministers in the court were going to imprison him, but he didn't expect that he would use money and finally never talk about it. He saw that I went south to Guangdong, so he wanted to follow him. It would be better to stay away from him like this."

Zhu Hongsan was stunned when he heard this. Zhang Jiayu knew that "Lingnan Sanzhong", the one who was sawed by Tong Yangjia, did not expect that his character was not very good.

Zhu Hongsan didn't think about it carefully. What he heard and saw in this era was much different from what he knew before. So Zhu Hongsan now looks at historical figures from his own perspective, and he really couldn't believe the various statements in his previous life.

Zhu Hongsan asked: "Uncle, has the court begun to attack the officials who went south?"

Feng Ruoshu was stunned and said, "How did the lord know? This was only proposed by Ruan Dacheng the day before I left."

Zhu Hongsan dared to say that he got it from reading historical novels, and quickly explained: "Now the imperial court is full, the officials who went south have moved the steamed buns from vested interests (there was no cake in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Hongsan was quick to use steamed buns instead). Can these Donglin shit sticks spare them?"

Feng Ruoshu sighed and said, "It seems that Nan Zhili is hopeless. Even outsiders like you can see it. However, your vested interest is very useful. However, it was not initiated by the Donglin Party, but Ruan Dacheng. He also gave a name. Because these officials who went south surrendered to "fake Shun", Ruan Dacheng made a Shun case for them."

When talking about the "Shunting Case" of the Southern Ming Dynasty, we must start with the unlucky man Zhou Zhong.

This Zhou Zhong is not an ordinary person. He was from Jintan, Changzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili. From Wanli to Chongzhen, Zhou Yingqiu, Zhou Tingshi, Zhou Taizhi, Zhou Weishi, Zhou Weishi, and Zhou Weishi. Later, Zhou Biao, Zhou Quan and Zhou Zhong were Jinshi. Seven Jinshis were produced in two generations. This is quite awesome. It is a prominent family in the south.

However, Zhou Yingqiu had a bad reputation. During the Tianqi period, he defected to Wei Zhongxian as the Zuodu Censor and was the leader of the "Ten Dogs" under his disciples.

The chef of his family is good at simmering pig's trotters, while Wei Zhongxian's nephew Wei Liangqing was fond of eating sturdy hoofs. Whenever Wei Liangqing came to his house, he would treat him with sturdy hoofs, which won Wei Liangqing's favor. People at that time ridiculed Zhou Yingqiu as the "Shengshi Zhengxian".

Relying on this "stooth-stewing" relationship, Zhou Yingqiu later obtained the important position of Minister of Personnel and controlled the election. After Wei Zhongxian fell, Zhou Yingqiu was sent to serve as an army. His younger brother Zhou Weiqiu was once the censor and inspected Zhejiang. He followed his brother to the eunuch party and submitted a letter to destroy the world's academy (this is really a typical example of scolding the chef after eating, beating the monk after reciting the scriptures), and was later included in the "reverse case" and dealing with it.

On April 29, Li Zicheng led his troops to retreat westward and left Beijing City, which had only occupied forty days. On the second day of May, the Qing army entered Beijing. Previously, some former Ming Dynasty officials who defected to Li Zicheng's Dashun regime also fled back to the south one after another. Among them, there was a Shuji Shi Zhou Zhong.

In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Zhou Zhong passed the Jinshi and later entered the Hanlin Academy Shujishi. He originally wanted to achieve great things. Unexpectedly, the court was worried about internal and external troubles at this time, and Zhou Zhong was not reused.

In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's army occupied Beijing, and Chongzhen hanged himself. Some Ming Dynasty officials who did not escape committed suicide to their country, but many officials defected to Li Zicheng.

Zhou Zhong saw the least person he should have seen among the people waiting to be assigned outside the Meridian Gate, which was Li Zicheng's military advisor Niu Jinxing. Niu Jinxing knew Zhou Zhong very early and admired Zhou Zhong's talent very much.

Niu Jinxing recommended Zhou Zhong to Li Zicheng and gave him a review at Hongwenguan. Zhou Zhong also drafted an edict for Li Zicheng to ascend the throne, which cost him his life. Li Zicheng withdrew from Beijing, and Zhou Zhong fled back to Jiangnan.

Zhou Zhong had a cousin named Zhou Biao. Zhou Biao had a close relationship with a group of scholars from Fushe. When Zhou Yanru recovered, Ruan Dacheng wanted to reuse money. It was Zhou Biao who rushed over to persuade Zhou Yanru that he did not use Ruan Dacheng.

After the villain Ruan Dacheng found out about this news, he hated Zhou Biao very much, but there was no way. Ruan Dacheng's home was burned by the people from Fushe, so he dared to take revenge, so he had to run out of Nanjing and live in seclusion in the mountains, becoming a Ruan Village man.

Unexpectedly, the mountains and rivers were turned around, and Chongzhen from Beijing was hanged. Ruan Dacheng's good friend Ma Shiying came out to be the chief assistant. Ma Shiying was also very interesting. The first thing to be the chief assistant was to recommend Ruan Dacheng.

Later history books all said that Ma Shiying was a treacherous minister, but the author disagreed. The entire Hongguang court was a member of the Donglin Party, and Ma Shiying wanted to do something but no one was unable to do it. At this time, it was possible to recommend his benefactor Ruan Dacheng to explain.

But Ruan Dacheng is a real villain. The first thing he did when he came out of the mountain was immediately fired at the Donglin Party, and he used Zhou Zhong to write the edict of the throne to Li Zicheng. The matter of "the revival of the society and even the entire Donglin Party" began to expand, and he wanted to lead the restoration of the society and even the entire Donglin Party.

This "Shunting Case" made the eunuch party and the Donglin party no longer have the possibility of easing, and it would not end if it was not fought to the death. Then it was natural. In order to rescue colleagues from Fushe and the Donglin party, Hou Fangyu went west to Wuchang and found Zuo Liangyu, the concubine of his father Hou Xun.

Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that he could also have the pleasure of "clearing the king". In addition, he could not defeat Bai Wang's 70,000 Dashun Army in Wuchang. Hearing Hou Fangyu say this, he immediately led hundreds of thousands of people to Nanjing (hundreds of thousands of people could not defeat 70,000 people, and this combat power would be good).

Things will be simple in the future. In order to defend against Zuo Liangyu, Ma Shiying transferred Huang Degong, who should have been guarding against the Qing Dynasty in the north, so that the Yangtze River defense line will be opened. The Qing army took the opportunity to go south and attacked the city of Nanjing, and the Hongguang Dynasty was destroyed.

Therefore, the Hongguang Dynasty only existed for a year, Ruan Dacheng was the culprit.

After listening to Feng Ruoshu's story in Nanjing, Zhu Hongsan sighed and thought to himself: "It's really unreasonable that this Nanming is so chaotic. It's Zhu Yuanzhang at this time. Zhu Di can't even come to suppress him. Besides, Zhu Yousong, who is just a mere man, seems that he should go south to prepare early."

Zhu Hongsan looked at it getting late and said, "Uncle, it's getting late. Let's go back to the inn to rest. Let's rest in Yangzhou for two days tomorrow, how can we set off?"

Feng Ruoshu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to everything."

After saying that, Zhu Hongsan got up and gave his friend another ten taels of silver. After his friend thanked him for a long time, they went downstairs and returned to the inn.

On the second day, Feng Ruoshu took his wife Chen to visit Hangzhou, but Zhu Hongsan did not follow him. He wanted to prepare something for a long journey. This time he went south was not easier than last time from Huguang, and it was also a big group of men and women. So there were too many things to prepare, and Qian Qianyi contributed more than 10,000 taels of silver.

Finally, the preparations were completed on June 15th. Zhu Hongsan and his team of nearly 3,000 people landed from Hangzhou and began to head south. The route prepared by Zhu Hongsan crossed the Qiantang River from Hangzhou, passed Zhuji, Jinhua, and Longyou entered Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi, and passed Fuzhou, Jianchang, and Ganzhou to Nanxiong Prefecture in Guangdong.

Although this journey is much further than passing through Fujian, the journey is relatively flat. There are many places where you can use water transportation. That is, there are several mountains in Nan'an Prefecture, which borders Jiangxi and Guangdong. Other places are much easier to walk than when you head south from Huguang last time.

Zhu Hongsan expected to arrive in Guangdong in one and a half months this time. He calculated the time and arrived in Guangdong in about August, which was half a year before the Qing army headed south next year.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy. If it really doesn't work, take your wife and children to the Philippines. Now that place should be a Spanish place. Can you not beat the Qing Dynasty's big braids and still kill the Spanish red-haired ghost?" Zhu Hongsan thought to himself.

Seeing the team leaving the Hangzhou city gate, Zhu Hongsan looked at Hangzhou again. One year later, the place would become a sea of ​​blood. Seeing the busy people in and out of the city, Zhu Hongsan really wanted to tell them that they should run away.
