The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Shi Kefa felt that Zuo Liangyu's domineering behavior once again exceeded his expectations, and he couldn't help but angrily yelled: "He led troops to forcefully break into the Yamen of the Ministry of War without permission! Zuo Liangyu, do you know your crime?!"

Zuo Liangyu looked innocent, "What's wrong with Zuo coming to see Grand Sima to discuss military affairs and bringing some servants with him?"

Shi Kefa said angrily: "Servants are also soldiers! Since you want to pay a visit, you should first send a greeting card and wait outside. Soldiers are not allowed to enter the Yamen!"

Zuo Liangyu's face darkened, "Zuo already said that we need to discuss military affairs - how to resist the thieves is an urgent matter. Could it be that Grand Sima wants Zuo to wait in the military department room like those local miscellaneous officials? Three or four hours?"

Shi Kefa was furious and wanted to scold him again, but Zhang Shenyan stopped him.

He was really afraid that Zuo Liangyu would be forced to break up by Shi Kefa, and at the same time he also had some opinions about Shi Kefa in his heart - at such a critical moment, how could he not know that the national affairs were the most important thing to endure?

"Xianzhi (Shi Kefa's word), since Uncle Ning Nan wants to discuss the matter of resisting the thieves, it is better to send someone to call Uncle Xincheng, Uncle Chengyi, and Han Shoubei to discuss together.

The thieves have troops in Taiping Mansion and may go east to attack Nanjing at any time. It is better to make plans to control the thieves sooner rather than later. "

Shi Kefa finally listened to the advice, took a deep breath, ignored Zuo Liangyu's presence, and sent someone to notify Zhao Zhilong, Liu Kongzhen, and Han Zanzhou to come over.

A quarter of an hour or two later, six people who were now at the top of power in Nanjing gathered together at the Ministry of War.

As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Shi Kefa naturally sat in the chief position.

Zuo Liangyu, however, sat unceremoniously in the first place on the left, and even Zhang Shenyan took the first place on the right.

He coughed and spoke first: "When the Wei thieves go eastward, the main force must pass through the Yangtze River and go down the river. If we want to resist the Wei thieves, we need to use the Jiang navy to listen to Zuo's order."

Liu Kongzhen, the admiral in charge of the military affairs of the Jiang Navy, did not expect that Zuo Liangyu would seize his military power when he came up, but he did not dare to refute, so he could only look to Shi Kefa and Zhang Shenyan for help.

Shi Kefa said angrily: "Zuo Liangyu, don't push yourself too far!"

"How did Zuo go so far?" Zuo Liangyu looked innocent again, "Shouldn't we have unified orders to resist the bandits? Or, in other words, who else in Nanjing is more suitable to be the coach of this battle than Zuo?

If Da Sima had a better candidate, he might as well tell him. Zuo immediately raised his troops and left Nanjing without saying a word! "

Shi Kefa was so angry that he slammed the table, "Are you threatening me?"

"Where is Zuo? Da Sima, don't talk nonsense."

Seeing that Shi Kefa continued to argue with Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Shenyan had to interrupt, "Uncle Ning Nan, if you serve as the head coach, how sure are you of stopping the thieves?"

Mentioning this, Zuo Liangyu suddenly lost his dignity. He hesitated and said: "If all the armies listen to Zuo's order, they should be 50% sure."

"Only 50%?" Shi Kefa couldn't help but look sarcastic, "So, how do you have the face to recommend yourself as the commander-in-chief?"

"Then how confident is Grand Sima, the commander, that he can stop the traitors?" Zuo Liangyu asked in return.

Shi Kefa felt that his military strategy was good, and he immediately said: "If the armies obey orders and have enough food and grass, I will be at least to % sure of holding Nanjing!"

Zuo Liangyu sneered after hearing this, "Has Da Sima ever fought with the bandit?"

"No," Shi Kefa said matter-of-factly, "But I have also heard about the enemy's fighting methods, but I just rely too much on guns and other strange skills..."

Zuo Liangyu was speechless after hearing this. He just felt that there was no way to talk to Shi Kefa, and he didn't want to listen anymore. He stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Da Sima thinks so, Zuo has nothing to say, leave!"

Then leave directly.

Several people in the hall were left looking at each other.

Shi Kefa came back to his senses, his face turned red, he slapped the table again and said: "Arrogant and domineering! Extremely rude!"

Zhao Zhilong and Liu Kongzhen shook their heads secretly after seeing it. They were afraid that they would offend Zuo Liangyu if they stayed here for too long, so they also stood up and left one after another.

Zhang Shenyan advised at this time, "Xianzhi, don't compete with Zuo Liangyu. As long as he is willing to resist the thieves, let him be the commander-in-chief."

After hearing this, Shi Kefa was disappointed and angry. He felt betrayed and asked, "Where is Otsuka Zai from?"

Zhang Shenyan was immediately speechless.

···

The Ming Dynasty decision-makers in Nanjing fought for power and profit in the name of resisting the Yi army, and several meetings broke up unhappily.

There was also heated discussion among the people about the leader of the Wei army and Liu Sheng.

But there are all kinds of folk rumors, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false.

Money house.

This is the house Qian Qianyi bought in Nanjing.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen's reign, Qian Qianyi was caught up in a party dispute and had a dirty butt, so he resigned from office and returned home.

He originally lived in his hometown of Changshu, Suzhou. Last year, he married Liu Rushi, a famous prostitute from the south of the Yangtze River. He built "Jiangyun Tower" and "Hongdou Pavilion" for her in the Yushan Villa. The poet made it a good story.

Last autumn Zhou Yanru went north to serve as the chief minister. Qian Qianyi believed that the situation in the DPRK had changed and that he might have a chance to recover, so he moved to Nanjing, made friends with officials and celebrities, and moved around.

In the backyard of Qian's house, Liu Rushi was chatting with a few women.

There are three guests, most of whom are famous prostitutes from the south of the Yangtze River. One of the sisters is Bian Yujing and Bian Yulou, and the other is Li Xiangjun.

Among the four, Liu Rushi was good at poetry, Bian Yulou was good at calligraphy and painting, Bian Yulou was good at playing the piano, and Li Xiangjun was good at singing. Together they could often achieve success with their skills. In addition, they were all in Nanjing at this time, so they had many contacts.

Liu Rushi was discussing poetry with Bian Yujing, while Li Xiangjun supported his chin on his wrist, looking a little wilted.

Liu Rushi smiled and asked, "What's wrong with Sister Xiangjun? Aren't you going to marry Mr. Hou recently? Why are you unhappy?"

"Alas~" Li Xiangjun sighed, "Forget it, since Governor Hou came to Nanjing with Zuo Liangyu's army, Chaozong (characterized by Hou Fangyu) went to the army and said that he would make suggestions for Governor Hou and redeem my life. It was also delayed."

Then he said worriedly: "I heard that the traitors committed rape, robbery, and even cannibalism. They like to eat beautiful women and children. What do you think we will do if the traitors come to Nanjing? We won't be kidnapped. Let’s go?”

After hearing this, Liu Rushi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Where did you hear these random rumors?"

"Why, isn't that what a thief is like?" Li Xiangjun asked curiously.

The Bian sisters also looked over.

They knew that Qian Qianyi had served as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites after all. He had many connections in the government and knew much more information than ordinary people. As Qian Qianyi's wife, Liu Rushi must have known a lot of reliable information.

Liu Rushi said: "I have heard that the thieves did not commit any crimes against ordinary people, but they just liked to harm big families. Every time they captured a place, many big families were put on trial for questioning, and their homes were beheaded and their homes ransacked."

Li Xiangjun was curious and asked again: "I heard that the leader of the thieves, Liu Wei, is three feet tall, has a ferocious appearance, can breathe fire, and can hold thunder in his palms. Is it true or false?"

Liu Rushi couldn't help crying, "Where did you hear this?"

"The storyteller told it." Li Xiangjun probably felt that it was too unreliable, and blushed in embarrassment.

Liu Rushi said: "Have you ever seen a person who is three feet tall? In addition, the bandit leader is not called Liu Wei, but Liu Sheng. I heard that he was originally just an ordinary mountain man, only because he married the female bandit leader of Runing, the Red Lady. , it turned into a dragon and became a big event."

Li Xiangjun found it incredible when he heard this, "Isn't that a pretty boy who just eats soft rice?"

Hearing what Li Xiangjun said, Liu Rushi and Bian Yujing couldn't help laughing as they imagined that the feared leader of the bandits actually looked like a pretty boy.

After laughing, Liu Rushi sighed again, "If the thief really does not commit any crimes against ordinary people, as the rumors say, nothing will happen to you. But given the identity of that person in my family, I am afraid he will inevitably suffer disaster."

The youngest Bian Yulou said puzzledly: "Sister Liu and Master Qian will just go back to Suzhou."

Bian Yujing heard this and said: "Are you stupid? If the thieves can capture Nanjing, how can Suzhou be saved?"

Hearing this, Liu Rushi became completely sad.

She didn't expect that she would encounter this kind of thing less than a year after marrying Qian Qianyi. With Qian Qianyi's status, he would probably be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and she would also die for love when the time comes.

She was thinking about which way to die with Qian Qianyi, hanging or jumping into the river?

The sisters dispersed before the sun went down.

Qian Qianyi waited until it was completely dark before doing so, and he still smelled of alcohol.

"Master, why are you drinking again?" Liu Rushi asked Qian Qianyi as he changed his coat.

Qian Qianyi seemed to be a little drunk, and he answered the question unintentionally: "Confucian scholar, if the Wei thieves capture Nanjing, how about I surrender to Nanjing?"

Liu Rushi was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "How could the master have such an idea? The master was the Tanhualang of the Ming Dynasty, and he was the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. Although he has been dismissed from office, after all, he once received the favor of the country..."

Seeing that Liu Rushi's reaction was a bit intense, Qian Qianyi suddenly woke up and said hurriedly: "I just said it casually, don't take it seriously."

Liu Rushi was doubtful, and then reminded him, "I can just say this at home, but don't say it outside, otherwise it will be used as a basis and cause trouble."

"understood."
