Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

However, since Shi Kefa chose to acquiesce in Ma Shiying's presiding over the government and retreated to Jiangbei.

But he "betrayed" the Jiangnan gentry class!

He - can't move even an inch!

Shi Kefa is famous, and the only choice he can make is how he dies...

Gentlemen - let's not say that Shi Kefa presided over Yangzhou for only a few days, but his ability was not good...

(Let me say it for you - although there is indeed a problem with his abilities...

...罒w罒…)

Just like this, when the weather, the right place, and the right people are all not in our favour—

Even if the gods come down to earth, they can't escape the tears!

Coupled with Shi Kefa's indecisiveness, his character flaws are indeed too great.

There is no money in hand, and there is no way to mobilize soldiers.

It is strange that Shi Kefa can hold Yangzhou!

Don't talk about Jiangyin!

The premise that the Battle of Jiangyin could last for 81 days was that the Qing court's order to shave heads and obey orders forced the Jiangyin gentry to the point where they had to revolt!

It was the right time, the right place, the right people, and everyone was there!

And Yangzhou...

What shocked everyone was that during the Battle of Yangzhou, the wealthy gentry actually smashed the gates of Yangzhou City and fled!

Even after Shi Kefa closed the city, some people brought soldiers to kidnap Shi Kefa and surrender to the Qing army.

In Yangzhou, where all the people's hearts are scattered, what can Shi Kefa do?

He "only wants to die"!

Only these four words!

Being willing to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty is the only thing Shi Kefa can decide for himself...

……

This is the face of the real "Public Justice" - Donglin and Fushe.

Even though Shi Kefa was once the leader of Donglin...

However, a leader who does not seek benefits for Donglin and Fushe is not a good leader!

Shi Kefa's compromise with Ma Shiying had already made the "righteous people" angry to death.

give you money?

dream!

A "Shi Ge Lao" who didn't even get military pay had nothing left but his reputation.

Shi Kefa in history died in Yangzhou...

It’s helpless and even more sad!

……

In the eyes of future generations, the liver hurts due to anger.

But what a blow it was to the parties involved.

The late Ming Dynasty was such an environment. If you want to do something for the country, you need Qingtian's perseverance!

Shi Kefa chose to be loyal to the country, and this was his final conclusion.

Although his abilities are flawed, he is still a "national scholar"!

……

Shi Kefa sighed for a while and looked at his staff Yan Ermei:

"Yongqing (characterized by Yan Ermei), the state affairs are at this point, and Yan can only serve the country with passion."

Yan Ermei raised her head and smiled bitterly.

Is it just death?

Just death...

There is really only "only death"!

Shi Kefa sighed again:

“When I think about it now, I regret it.

If I had listened to Yongqing's plan at that time, the situation might not be what it is today. "

When Gao Jie was killed, Yan Ermei gave him three strategies:

“That is: first appease the old tribe of Xingpingbo Gaojie;

Then attack and occupy the important military town of Xuzhou;

Finally, he marched westward and northward, controlled Lu and Henan, and formed a tripartite alliance with Xuzhou. "

Thinking about it carefully, he did not dare to follow Yan Ermei's policy because he was concerned about the mood of the wealthy gentry.

The Xing family asked him to accept Gao Jie's remaining son as his "congzi".

However, because Gao Jie once looted the estates of Yangzhou wealthy families to use as military supplies, he was afraid that the Yangzhou wealthy gentry would not support him, so he declined the matter.

As for controlling Xuzhou, and controlling Shandong and Henan...

In order to prevent the four towns from resenting each other, none of them dared to do anything...

In the current situation, he himself made a mistake!

Shi Kefa smiled bitterly.

Only blood illuminates history...

Just death, this is the end of me, Shi Kefa!

"Ugh!"

Yan Ermei sighed:

"It's not the fault of the elder, but - without military pay, what's the point of being useless!

Now that I think about it, the student's suggestion is nothing more than taking a chance.

Chances of success…”

Yan Ermei smiled bitterly:

"Not big..."

Yes!

The chance of success is slim!

Once you really follow Yan Ermei's plan, even if you can achieve temporary success initially - you will definitely not escape the end of being stabbed in the back and sold out!

Isn't this the reason why so many heroes who were loyal to Emperor Chongzhen died...

Shi Kefa felt bitter in his heart.

After all, there is still no military pay.

If he had millions of silver in his hands, why should he fear the "disgust" of the Yangzhou gentry?

If he really has millions of dollars, why worry about the four towns not supporting him!

If he really had millions of taels of silver, he would dare to imitate Emperor Chongzhen and rebuild his power on a piece of white land...

Unfortunately……

No one has a front or back view!

Yan Ermei looked at Shi Kefa for a while and then tentatively said:

"Mr. Ge, the situation is over. Going west may not be the way out."

Moving westward...

Shi Kefa smiled bitterly.

Yan Ermei wanted to go west and join Chongzhen's rule.

How could he not know?

however……

Some things and some people, once you take that step, you will never look back.

He Shi Kefa - although his ability is limited, he has the determination to pay for his mistakes!

"Only Death!"

Shi Kefa laughed:

"What joy is there in being alive?

Death - nothing to fear! "

"Your Majesty, there is no need to persuade me any more, I have already made up my mind!"

Shi Kefa said one sentence, and the heavy burden that had been squeezed in his heart for a long time was suddenly put down.

Now that Ren Chengren has been decided, there is nothing to worry about.

Only die!

I saw with my own eyes that the emperor's troops were approaching the capital city and were about to regain the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

What's the point of dying?

He can't do it, but he can't do it if he has only one muscle!

But Yan Ermei...

Shi Kefa looked at his staff and said seriously:

"Yongqing, what you did before was just a momentary act of loyalty.

From my perspective, Emperor Chongzhen, since he went to camp in Wanxiang, has done many things that are not to my liking.

However, the country is also prospering.

However, there is no need for us to wait for the scholars, given time, the disaster of the vassal town in the late Tang Dynasty will inevitably be avoided. "

What Shi Kefa said was something from Yan Ermei's past.

Yan Ermei took the exam in Beijing with the title of a student of the Imperial College and won the 24th place in Beijing Zhaoyin.

According to Ming Dynasty practice, if you win the election, you can participate in the selection of officials.

However, Yan Ermei joined Fushe early and was hated by Emperor Chongzhen.

It was the third year of Chongzhen's reign, and Zhu Youjian had already noticed who Donglin and Fushe were.

Three years after joining Fushe, he has become the backbone of Fushe. How could he be reused by Zhu Youjian?

In this way, Yan Ermei has been hesitating to this day...

Shi Kefa paused for a long time before continuing:

"Gu Gu (Yan Ermei), you have great talent. After my death, you should go to Handu immediately.

Your Majesty, although you and I are called proprietor and staff.

However, you also know that I have always regarded you as a friend.

I took the wrong path, and I no longer have the face to meet my former king and father.

Gu Gu, you are just a staff member, this matter has nothing to do with you.

After my death, you should return to Handu immediately.

Fight for your and my ambitions! "

The old friend has a life-or-death ambition and is ready to put an end to his life.

As a close friend, Yan Ermei Suzhi Shi Kefa, even though he has an indecisive personality, is also stubborn.

What he decides will never be changed.

Shi Kefa's determination to give up could not be pulled back.
