The bad news was like the trout returning to the city. One by one, one after another, passed through Nanjing. The news of Li Zicheng's death was not received. The news of the fall of Wuchang had already hit the heads of a group of Donglinkui. Immediately afterwards, just eleven days, Chu Zhen, which was the absolute main force of the empire, had an army of 400,000, collapsed. Liu Liu Zongmin even incorporated some of Zuo Liangyu's defeated soldiers. In addition, Huguang swept the floor and soldiered to 500,000.

"Bastard warrior!!!"

This time, it was finally Emperor Hongguang's turn to take out some emperor's majesty. The huge court was silent, and only the roaring sound of Zhu Yousong's pig's screaming sound was echoing.

"A army of more than 400,000 yuan, a million yuan in salary every year, can't even stand it for half a month. Raising a pig is better than Zuo Liangyu! This bastard is a waste, and raising a son is so unfaithful and unfilial, and he actually surrenders..., he surrenders..., the whole family is a fool!"

Immediately after Zuo Liangyu lost Wuchang, Jiujiang Governor Yuan Jixian sent him 800 miles to speed up. Zuo Liangyu died of illness in Xiaogan. The young marshal Zuo Menggeng, who inherited his position, directly led the remnants of 30,000 people to cross the river to surrender to Beiming. The last line of defense in Huguang was moved away. Now the rebel army is allocating Zuo Liangyu's surrender army. In another ten days, it is expected to attack Nanjing with the top of Mount Tai.

No wonder Emperor Hongguang got angry. In order to maintain Chu Zhen, he squeezed out a lot of money for building other palaces. The talented girl was cut off half of it. Just now, Qian Qianyi gave him the twenty most jealous and most beautiful girl as a gift to Mao Jue. When he turned around, Chu Zhen easily made people beat him up. It would be strange if he didn't get angry.

However, if the problem is solved by getting angry, Chongzhen would not have been destroyed. After being angry, Zhu Yousong slapped his thighs sadly and bowed to the gentlemen Donglin who were usually silent at this time.

"Sir, you guys are saying something! How should we deal with the current situation!"

"Mr. Qian, say it!"

Qian Qianyi wanted to shrink his neck, but in front of everyone, he stood up with a tough bullet and bowed heavily to the dragon throne.

"The old minister thinks, should..., should ask the capital for help!"

"All nonsense!"

His eyes were shining, just waiting for this party dispute! Huang Zongxi, the chief censor of Fushe, drifted out of the squad with a beautiful head shaking his tail to the ground and his butt to the sky. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, pointing at Qian Qianyi's nose and scolding.

"Mr. Qian, you are still an elder in the country and a minister of the four dynasties. Can you tell such a destruction of the country? Mao Ni, Dong Zhuo and Wang Mang, a wolf-like ambitious person! He conspired to kill Emperor Kaiming in the north and instigated my Ming Dynasty to be rebellious and proclaim him emperor. At this time, leading Mao soldiers across the river is like leading a thief into the house and trying to make a fellow with a tiger! Lord. Qian, do you want my Ming Dynasty to ruin your hand?"

"Why did Lord Huang say this? Emperor Kaiming abused the people and was expelled by the people's riots. Even so, Emperor Bei was still kind and gave the title of Marquis of Delang. He was still divided into a county in Japan, and he kept offering sacrifices! The enemy of the thief! The Southern and Northern Mings are in harmony and are dealing with them together. Lord Huang is completely a villain's heart to judge the gentleman's affair! He prevented our Ming Dynasty from continuing the support of incense. Did Lord Huang take the benefits of the thief and want to be a minister of the thief?"

The township party is the party and the master and apprentice are the party. Qian Qianyi did not wait to refute this. His student, Zheng Qiusu, who is also the censor, had already pounced out like a evil dog, pointing at his nose and cursing.

Where can I see my accomplices suffer? Fang Yizhi, Chen Zilong, Gu Zunxian and other series of people in the Fushe Society roared and jumped out, and they were about to beat Zheng Qiusu with their tongues. Seeing that the court meeting was about to evolve into a vegetable market again, a heavy cough suddenly sounded, interrupting everyone's words.

In disbelief, the two factions watched Qian Qianyi walk forward with a serious expression and bow heavily.

"Everyone, in the 17th year of Chongzhen, it was because of the troubles of the ministers that the late emperor was undecided and missed the opportunity to transfer troops and move the capital. The thieves' army had to come to Jiangnan anytime and anywhere! You are going to curse, and you are going to curse! Go to my Qian Mansion to curse! Point at my Qian's nose and curse! Now, it's important to come up with a solution!"

Qian Qianyi's words actually brought a sudden end to a fierce party struggle. It seemed that after a destruction of the country, it was indeed a heavy touch on these traditional scholars and officials. After all, he finally understood the reason why empty talk was ruining the country. Seeing many ministers squirming away, Qian Qianyi clasped his fists again at Huang Zongxi who came out to scold him.

"Huang Sheng, since you don't agree with my husband's method of inviting northern soldiers to suppress the rebels, what's your idea? Don't hide it if the country is in danger!"

After all, he was still a sloppy man. He stood on the commanding heights of morality first and took another car with his backhand. Huang Zongxi was stunned when he asked this question. Indeed, he was a talented man, one of the four young masters in the late Ming Dynasty, and the founder of the Eastern Zhejiang School. But after all, he was also a scholar. Zuo Liangyu's 400,000 army collapsed. What could he do without any power?

After stuttering for a long time, he clasped his fists with difficulty: "Don't fight to the death of the city!"

"Ha! Grand Secretary Chen Yan also advised the late emperor in this way!"

Zheng Qiusu sneered quietly, and Huang Zongxi's face turned red, but at this time Qian Qianyi obviously had no mood to pursue the victory. He just sighed disappointed and turned his head away.

The whole court fell into silence again, but everyone knew in their hearts that if they could not stop the fierce offensive of the trespassing army, then asking for help from the north was inevitable and being annexed by the Beiming capital. After all, everyone saw Li Zicheng's time in Beijing. It was really torture and work that was lost. Although Mao Jue may not be able to become an official, he may even lose a lot of land, but at least he can save his life and continue to enjoy wealth. Even because Mao Jue left a way out for Emperor Kaiming, even Zhu Yousong could not help but shake it.

But at this moment, a soft voice finally broke the silence. He seemed to be unwilling to look at his friends and seemed to have some plans. Fang Yizhi was on duty and knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty! How can the Chief Supervisor be missing the Grand Secretary of the Military and National Affairs? Besides, the Chief Supervisor once presided over the defense line between the two Huaihe Rivers. After all, he has experience in supervising the military combat. I ask Your Majesty to announce the Chief Supervisor to the palace!"

This proposal really went beyond the expectations of the bigwigs of the Donglin Party. After a few seconds, Qian Qianyi looked at the top leader of Donglin, Gao Hongtu, the second assistant Gao Hongtu, the Minister of Rites Wang Cha, the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, Jiang Yueguang and other Donglin bosses also considered it for more than a minute before nodding in difficulty.

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Anyway, it is at this critical moment, and the party’s struggle for power has lost its meaning. How bad can it be?

All the big guys nodded, and Zhu Yousong was also "just following good deeds", and immediately summoned loudly: "Come here, I will tell you that the Chief Secretary Shi Kefa will come to the palace!"

…………

The issue of support made Zhu Yousong hold a grudge, and Yangzhou fell, and became the target of the Donglin Party. Since the Donglin coup, Shi Kefa has completely faded out of politics for a long time. It is said that power is the elixir of man. This is true. Shi Kefa, who is over 50 years old, is white-haired. The old said that he is seventy years old and someone believes that he is staggering. He climbed into the hall with a trembling trembling.

Seeing him kneeling in the hall, even though Zhu Yousong looked at him with a little emotion, he forgot about supporting things. He lamented, and Zhu Yousong asked heavily.

"The thief army is approaching. What good strategies does Mr. Shi have to retreat to the enemy?"

To be honest, when he learned from the eunuch that Zuo Liangyu was defeated and died, Chu Zhen's entire army was wiped out. Even Shi Kefa was shocked for a long time, and was full of disbelief. In his opinion, Li Zicheng's death happened to be a great opportunity to recover Huguang, so why did it become a disaster for the court?

Fortunately, he had experienced great storms and real military tests. He had recovered from the car that entered the palace and was thinking about solutions. He listened to Zhu Yousong's inquiry and was confident.

"I am fighting!"

"Main battle? What to fight?"

Before Zhu Yousong could speak, it was Wang Cha's turn to jump out like a madman, pointing at Shi Kefa's nose and cursing: "There are 500,000 thieves, and even Zuo Liangyu was defeated and died. Do you want His Majesty to repeat the mistakes of the late emperor?"

"I heard that you all have formed a New Taipei Prefecture Army?"

Shi Kefa raised his head and said softly, Wang Cha was dumbfounded.

After the destruction of the three towns in Jiangbei, Gao Hongtu and Qian Qianyi formed a group of 170,000 to replace the New Taipei Prefecture Army, which once became the political achievement of the Donglin Party. However, they knew that these New Taipei Prefectures and the Beifu Army in history were not the same thing, and were not as good as Zuo Liangyu's new affiliated army. Although they spent more than 1.3 million taels of military pay a year, they were only useful to scare the people. Qian Qianyi and others did not think about them at all.

Now Shi Kefa brought it up as a matter of doing things, and it really tasted like a naked slap in the face.

There was no regular time when Wang Cha, who was choking on the side and silently said, "Although the thieves came in a fierce manner, they were short of their own country. After all, they were short of their territory. When they heard about the battle in Zuozhen, the thieves army made a desperate bet and suddenly attacked. Zuozhen was divided and surrounded. It was not necessarily good at water wars. In addition, the Governor of Jiujiang Yuan Jixian was a steadfast official and was diligent in training troops. The Poyang Lake Navy still fought. The old minister believed that before the thieves swept across Chu and obtained food and salary, he should quickly send reinforcements to block the eastward path of Poyang Lake."

"At that time, Taizu fought against Chen Youliang's 600,000 troops here. After one battle, Chen Youliang was destroyed! Our dynasty has always had the power to fight!"

After passionately speaking his entire paragraph of suggestions, Shi Kefa raised his head excitedly, but looking at Emperor Hongguang or the leader of Donglin, all of them were full of doubts. He smiled bitterly in his heart. Shi Kefa kowtowed again and said.

"Even if you go north to invite troops, the envoy will set off to the capital immediately, which will take more than a month. Even if the Emperor of the Sea is kind, he will send troops south immediately. It will take another month for the envoy to arrive in Xuzhou. The Xuzhou Legion mobilized troops to cross the river, which will take at least two and a half months."

"We have to hold on to this period of time! Dear sirs!"

This is much more reliable than Taizu's fight against Chen Youliang just now. Even if he has to hold on to surrender, Wang Cha didn't even beat a joke this time, and took the lead in kowtowing: "Old minister will discuss!"

Immediately afterwards, several big figures in Donglin also nodded!

The weak Southern Ming Dynasty finally had some positive reactions.
Chapter completed!
