Chapter 46: During the Counterattack

After waiting in place for a while, Zhu Youjian finally heard the familiar sound of the car engine.

After all, he had been in the car with Cao Fu and Li Yi for several days, so he could clearly distinguish the sound of the car.

"Hmph, you guys dare to question me. I'll tell you the truth. In a critical moment, I met a fairy-like person who can travel through time and space at will. Qin Shihuang was the one who took me to Qin Dynasty to find him personally. .”

Normally, Zhu Youjian would not be angry with these guys, but now it is different. Now that he has just regained the capital, he is of course eager to establish his authority.

At this time, Li Yi drove across Tianmen, Duanmen, and looked at the strong historical charm and ancient architectural style along the way, and couldn't help but be intoxicated by it, no matter how different the various aesthetics of later generations are. It is wonderful, but for most Chinese people, the beauty of ancient Chinese architecture is still irresistible to many people.

Therefore, Li Yi moved at the same speed as a snail, walking slowly in the imperial city, but this made Zhu Youjian very anxious. He clearly heard the sound, but why didn't he come over?

However, even if Zhu Youjian stomped on the spot in a hurry, he didn't run over to find Li Yi, because that would be too cheap in front of this group of people, so he could only show a calm look on the spot and wait. .

Stepping through the Duanmen, Li Yi saw the people kneeling on the ground and Zhu Youjian who was looking at him eagerly, and then realized that he still had business to do.

"Um, Your Majesty, Lao Zhu, I kept you waiting for a long time."

Jumping out of the car, Li Yi greeted Zhu Youjian and Ying Zheng, and then looked curiously at the kneeling man.

"Li Yi, have all the people from that old Zhao come over?"

Before Li Yi could speak, Zhu Youjian was the first to ask.

"Uh, not yet, 10 people are so fast!"

"That's just right, you open the void door here, and send the rest of the people over. When Brother Ying takes people to fight, there will be no one here for me!"

"no problem."

Li Yi also didn't guess Zhu Youjian's fuss about Liwei, thinking that he was just impatient, so he opened the void door on the spot, and then people from Da Song who had already been prepared began to come over one after another.

Seeing this never-before-seen scene, the small thoughts of the ministers kneeling there immediately disappeared. They are completely a bunch of grass, and they will fall wherever the wind blows. Now seeing Zhu Youjian being helped, a One of them began to shout again, the emperor's blessings are equal to the sky.

Seeing their actions, Zhu Youjian was completely disgusted. He walked into the crowd, kicked out some scum in clothes, and ordered them to be taken to Xishi to beheaded.

"Your majesty, you can't do this. The court is already chaotic enough. How can you continue to kill loyal ministers and literati by mistake? You are violating the precepts of your ancestors! If this continues, the Ming Dynasty will perish, and you will become a tyrant for thousands of years!"

Most of those who were just arrested were from the Donglin Party, and this crying old guy was also one of the leaders of the Donglin Party.

"Hmph, if you violate the ancestral precepts, Daming will perish. It is because I listened to you bastards that Daming became what it is now. Half of the Ming is dead, and when did the ancestral precepts say that you should not kill without authorization?" Literati, I remember that students are not allowed to discuss politics, why have I never seen you abide by it, now I not only want to kill these moths, but also restore the precedent of the ancestors, and strip all corrupt officials and waste Grass."

Zhu Youjian is now angry when he sees this group of Donglin Party members. If it weren't for the fact that this old official didn't make any serious mistakes, Zhu Youjian would be the first to kill him and use him to establish his prestige.

Now I still have the face to say that I am a tyrant. Look at the tyrant Yingzheng they have been calling for thousands of years. People are watching from there with a smile. I don’t know how nourishing life is usually.

After being refuted by Zhu Youjian, the old minister was immediately frightened by Zhu Youjian's ferocity. The previous emperor was not like this!
But after thinking about Zhu Youjian's words carefully, this old minister must have nothing to say, yes, Daming has already been destroyed by half, and the original set of rhetoric of myself and others is completely useless. It seems that in this period of time I'm going to be cowardly for the time being, and I will come to educate Zhu Youjian when I find a large army in the future, and talk to him about the way of a saint.

Seeing that the big show here was over, Ying Zheng didn't stay any longer, and left here with Li Yi to wander around the city.

In the next few days, Yingzheng began to reorganize the army and assign tasks. The 10 people sent by Song Dynasty left [-] for Zhu Youjian to dispatch. His task was to maintain the capital and contact Nanming to counterattack Dashun. It is now the end of March, and Zhu Yousong will succeed in May, so there should be no new emperor in Nanming, and Shi Kefa and others are still arguing with the generals of the three Jiangbei towns.

Ying Zheng and Meng Tian led the Qin soldiers to attack Datong. After Liu Zongmin escaped, he went to Datong to gather all the refugees under their command, holding the banner of revenge for Li Zicheng, and prepared to fight Ying Zheng to the death. The remaining [-] Song troops went to Wu Sangui to see what he was thinking now.

In history, it was Li Zicheng who defeated Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui surrendered to Dorgon as a last resort. Of course, it is also possible that he wanted to vote a long time ago. Know whether he will obey Zhu Youjian's order.

If you listen, then Zhang Han will join hands with him to kill the Qing army, if you don't listen, then Zhang Han will kill him together.

After the tasks were assigned, everyone did not delay, because Zhao Heng saw that Zhu Youjian was doing a great job and was already urging him to finish it quickly, and he would also like to help.

Daming's side basically had the overall situation settled, while Zhao Heng's side was short of manpower, and he didn't want to continue to be the grandson of the Liao Kingdom. After thinking about it, Li Yi felt that he needed to find another foreign aid to help.

The smoothest action on Daming's side was Yingzheng, because Li Yi drove over a dozen large trucks and let Yingzheng use them to transport soldiers and supplies.

In this way, Yingzheng and Liu Zongmin started a decisive battle. Needless to say, Liu Zongmin was overthrown in one wave, and then started the road of escape just like in history, except that it was Li Zicheng who ran away in history, and now he has become him.

And Ying Zheng also bit him hard, wherever he ran, Ying Zheng chased him, and wiped out all the local refugee troops along the way.

At the same time, Zhu Youjian's work of safeguarding the capital is also in full swing. There are no officials in charge. It is simple. Just grab anyone to do it. You can be an official as big as you can do. Under this kind of encouragement, everyone can do it. After working hard for a long time, after all, a month of hard work will lead to a lifetime of happiness. Do people in Nanjing still want this kind of opportunity?
As for contacting Nanming, when the news spread that Zhu Youjian killed Li Zicheng and regained the capital, there was a big drama there immediately.

"Master Shi, Master Shi, good news, great news!"

"What good news?"

Shi Kefa, who was then Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, has recently turned grey.

The capital of Daming was lost, and he took people to support him, but what he did not expect was the news that Zhu Youjian had hanged himself. But at this critical moment of Ming Dynasty, it was not the time to make him sad. The country cannot live without a king. The most important thing now is to choose The next emperor will come out to take up the burden of Daming.

According to their seniority, they should have supported the blessing king Zhu Yousong to take the throne, but Shi Kefa was very dissatisfied with this prince because Zhu Yousong had seven major shortcomings: greed, prostitution, alcoholism, unfilial piety, abuse of subordinates, failure to study, and interfering with officials. He doesn't look like a good emperor at all.

So Shi Kefa and others wanted to choose Lu Wang Zhu Changxiao as the emperor, because he is virtuous and intelligent, and this is the mold of a good emperor.

But the general soldiers of the three towns in Jiangbei refused again. They insisted on making Zhu Yousong the emperor, so now the two sides are arguing.

"Lord Shi, there is news from the north that His Majesty is not dead, not dead, and His Majesty took back the capital and killed Li Zicheng. Now start a counterattack and take back the foundation of Daming!"

"Really, you didn't lie to me?"

Thanks to Shi Kefa, a lot of the elderly, but now the middle-aged official under his hand grabbed the collar and lifted him up.

"No, the people who reported the information are outside at the moment. They came by water."

Abandoning this little official, Shi Kefa hurried out to find someone.

At this time, a bunch of people were already gathered outside, and everyone was very curious about the situation in the north. They were all very happy to hear that the Ming Dynasty is expected to restore the country. After all, they are all on the warship of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the bigger the ship, the better. .

Seeing Shi Kefa coming, everyone hurried out of the way. The messengers saw it and knew that the person in charge was coming, so they asked:
"I don't know if the person in front of you is the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing?"

"It's me, you are from the north? Is Your Majesty still alive?"

Ignoring Shi Kefa's inquiry, the messenger took out an imperial decree and shouted:
"The Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing can accept the order!"

Seeing the imperial decree, no one will check whether it is true or not, and they all kneel down with a clatter. This is already the instinct of the body's memory.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: Nanjing Military Department Shangshu Shikefa, Zhongliang Tiguo hereby Jin Taishi, supervisor of Nanjing, led the Ming soldiers to counterattack the refugees, hereby."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After receiving the imperial edict, Shi Kefa hurriedly looked at it and found that it was indeed Zhu Youjian's seal and handwriting. He couldn't help but laugh up at the sky.

"Hahahahaha, Your Majesty is really a promising king, a holy king, who actually took back the capital behind the enemy and beheaded the leader of the bandits. There is hope for the revival of my Ming Dynasty!"

Ignoring the congratulations from everyone around, Shi Kefa flicked his sleeves and shouted,

"Come here, help me tell the general soldiers of the three Jiangbei towns this news. My Ming Dynasty doesn't need to choose a new emperor yet. They should send troops immediately and join forces with His Majesty."

Hearing this, many people have different expressions, some are happy, and some are naturally unwilling. After all, if the emperor is not changed, there will be no official shuffle, and the interests of many people will be damaged.

However, no one dared to object in person, so they could only agree in front of Shi Kefa.

As the news spread far and wide, Nanjing gradually set off a storm.
