Zuo Maodi, Chen Hongfan, and Ma Shaoyu returned to Nanjing in disgrace and met Ma Shiying, Ma Shiying didn't care, let the Ming Dynasty surrender, this is impossible, he believes that although he is against himself, but in the matter of righteousness, Shi Kefa will be the same as himself, and will never surrender to Huaxia.

But only three days later, the news of Liu Liangzuo's defeat and capture in Luzhou reached Nanjing.

Ma Shiying couldn't sit still!

He scolded Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo one by one, and after scolding, he was still uncertain in his heart, the speed of the Mandate of Heaven Army was too fast, according to the current situation, Huang Degong would definitely not be able to defend Chuzhou and Hezhou alone, if Huang Degong was defeated again, Shi Kefa's defense in the south of Yangzhou would become a lone army, and it would definitely not last.

No wonder the Mandate of Heaven Army refused to rule the river with the Ming Dynasty, after the Mandate of Heaven Army occupied the entire Jiangbei, it could stop the pace of the Mandate of Heaven Army at any time by looking at the south of the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River?

The only reliance of the Ming Dynasty seems to be the Yangtze River......

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind!

Just when Ma Shiying was at a loss, he received another message that night: six large warships of the Mandate of Heaven Army, with countless warships and transport ships, were heading down the river and had arrived in Wuhu!

Ma Shiying was stunned for a moment, and he went down the river from Wuhu to Nanjing in three days at most......

If the naval army of the Mandate of Heaven blockades the Yangtze River, the small warships on the south bank may not be able to leave the dock, and the natural danger of the Yangtze River of the Ming Dynasty will be wiped out in front of the naval army of the Mandate of Heaven.

The navy of the Mandate of Heaven went east, making it clear that he would not give the Ming Dynasty a chance, and Li Zicheng wanted to take Jiangnan and unify China......

He remembered the fantasy of "rowing the river and ruling the country", it turned out that this was just the wishful thinking of the Ming Dynasty, no wonder Li Zicheng refused, Huaxia has enough strength, Li Zicheng obviously wants to kill the Ming Dynasty!

Ma Shiying was originally the governor of Fengyang, and the person who led the soldiers, knowing the grim situation facing the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't help but think about his future......

After thinking for a long time in his study, he decided to summon his cronies and inform them of the current state so that they could advance and retreat together......

Not long after, Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Shenyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Zheng Sanjun, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, Ruan Dacheng, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, Zuo Maodi, the right of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, Xu Shiqi, the Taichang Siqing, Xu Yunjue, the Duke of Wei, Liu Kongzhao, the Sincerity Bo, Jiao Mengxiong, the Dongning Bo, and Zhang Guocai, the Ancheng Bo, ......

The arrival of these people did not drive away the chill in Ma Shiying's heart, on the contrary, so many people couldn't come up with a countermeasure, and the chill in his heart almost filled the entire study.

Almost at the same time, Shi Kefa also summoned Gao Hongtu, a scholar of Dongge University and a scholar of the household department, Jiang Yueguang, a scholar of Dongge University, and Liu Zongzhou, a scholar of Zuodu Yushi, in his official residence......

After the next day's meeting, Ma Shiying decided to have a showdown with Shi Kefa.

The two had a secret meeting in Ma Shiying's study, and after saluting each other, Ma Shiying frowned and said, "Master Shi, the current situation ...... Master Shi is the secretary of the military department, but what is the best strategy? ”

Shi Kefa said cautiously: "Master Ma is the first assistant of the court, so he naturally has a way to withdraw from the army......

Ma Shiying let out a long sigh and said, "Master Shi, in this situation, it is better for you and me to be open and honest, the Mandate of Heaven Army has reached the doorstep......

It was rare for Shi Kefa to see Ma Shiying so frank, knowing that he was also worried about the current state affairs, and tunneled: "Liu Liangzuo was defeated and captured in Luzhou, and Li Zicheng did not go south to Anqing, but went east and went straight to Chuzhou ......"

Ma Shiying said at this time: "From the perspective of Lord Shi, does Huang De's function block the pace of the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

Shi Kefa shook his head slowly, and said: "Among the four towns in Jiangbei, Huang Degong's combat effectiveness is only slightly stronger than Liu Zeqing's, and the three towns are all defeated, Huang Degong will definitely not be able to stop the Heavenly Mandate Army, what is the best strategy for Lord Shoufu?" ”

Ma Shiying closed his eyes slightly, and after thinking deeply, he still shook his head, "Can Master Shi tell the truth to this official?" ”

"What?"

"Can Lord Shi's deployment in the south of Yangzhou stop the Mandate of Heaven Army?"

"I'm afraid not, according to the narrative of Liu Zeqing's remnants, the firearms of the Heavenly Mandate Army are too sharp," Shi Kefa's eyes were indescribably lonely, he really didn't expect that the four-town army established by the Ming Dynasty in Jiangbei would be as vulnerable as tofu, "It seems that there is only one way to retreat to Jiangnan." ”

"Master Shi still wants to divide the river?" Ma Shiying's face was faintly mocking, although he proposed it to rule the river, he had already abandoned this unrealistic idea, "Didn't Master Shi see that Li Zicheng's personal expedition this time was to unify China?" ”

"Dominate China?" Shi Kefa frowned and said, "What does Shoufu-sama mean?" ”

Ma Shiying didn't answer, but said: "Does Master Shi know that tens of thousands of sailors of the Heavenly Mandate Army have arrived in Wuhu from Huguang down the river?" ”

Shi Kefa nodded, he obviously already knew, and couldn't help muttering: "From Wuhu to the east, it will take three days at most to reach the Waijiang River in Nanjing...... Well, what does Shousuke-sama mean? ”

"Don't Master Shi understand what Li Zicheng means?" Ma Shiying said indifferently: "Tens of thousands of sailors have been trained and large warships with huge cannons installed, does Master Shi think that the Yangtze River can still stop the southward pace of the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

Shi Kefa groaned for a while, as if he was thinking about a way to deal with the Mandate of Heaven Army, but after all, he shook his head and said, "Li Zicheng won't give Daming any hope......

Ma Shiying seemed to have figured it out, and a smile appeared on his face, "Master Shi also thinks that Da Ming has no hope of winning?" ”

"It's really hard to see the hope of victory, whether on land or in the Yangtze River," Shi Kefa was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Lord Shoufu, what do you mean by meeting with Xia Guan today?" ”

"It's not interesting, just to discuss the current situation," Ma Shiying said: "According to Master Shi, how do we deal with it now?" ”

"How to deal with it?" Shi Kefa said angrily: "Ma Shiying, do you have to surrender to the Heavenly Mandate Army? ”

"Why does Master Shi say it so ugly?" Ma Shiying said lightly: "That ear of yours heard that this official was about to surrender to the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

"No matter why Lord Shoufu summoned this official today, this official will never do that disloyal and unrighteous thing," Shi Kefa said angrily: "Even if there is only one person left, this official will have to fight to the end, and if Li Zicheng wants to get Jiangnan, he has to crawl over the corpse of this official." ”

"Master Shi is really a loyal and righteous person, this official admires, admires!" Ma Shiying arched his hand to Shi Kefa, but there was a mocking look on his face, "It's just a pity that the splendid rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River ......"

Shi Kefa frowned and said, "What does Shoufu-sama mean?" ”

Ma Shiying said lightly: "Master Shi can know that the Heavenly Mandate Army is a rogue character, once it breaks into Jiangnan, it will face the wealth and flowery world of Jiangnan...... In the land south of the Yangtze River, it is very likely that the jade will be burned......"

Shi Kefa said: "This official heard that the Mandate of Heaven Army has strict military discipline and never harasses the people!"

"If the Heavenly Mandate Army takes over Jiangnan normally, it will naturally not harm the people," Ma Shiying seemed to be guiding something, and said: "If the Heavenly Mandate Army loses its troops and loses its generals, and it takes a lot of hard work to enter Jiangnan, Master Shi thinks that under the anger of the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and in the face of a rich land that has never been seen before, can the soldiers restrain themselves?" Master Shi, don't forget, you and I are both the ones who command the army, and after a big battle, in the face of blood and death, anything can happen, and the officers may not be able to suppress ......."

Shi Kefa frowned and said: "Huaxia has been established, Jiangnan will belong to Huaxia sooner or later, does Li Zicheng want to harm the people on his own land?" ”

"Hahaha......"

"What are Shousuke-sama laughing at?"

"Master Shi thinks that sooner or later Jiangnan will belong to the Huaxia Kingdom?" Ma Shiying smiled: "In this case, what is the meaning of today's struggle? It's nothing more than an increase in casualties......"

Shi Kefa said angrily: "Ma Shiying, to put it mildly, you just want to surrender to the Heavenly Mandate Army and be that disloyal and unrighteous person!"

"If Li Zicheng agrees to protect Jiangnan, the official is willing to sacrifice his temperance," Ma Shiying sighed: "The official is just worried that the official has sacrificed the temperance, and Li Zicheng still wants to slaughter Jiangnan, at that time, the official will not gain more than he loses!"

"Don't be so high-sounding!" Shi Kefa pointed at Ma Shiying's nose and shouted angrily: "You are completely for personal gain, the day before yesterday was to compete to be the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and today you want to protect yourself......"

"If the personal interests of this official are consistent with the interests of the people in Jiangnan, why should they give up their personal interests?" Ma Shiying said: "If it is for the people of Jiangnan, even if the official gives up his personal interests and reputation, what does it matter?" ”

"You ......" Shi Kefa's outstretched fingers were already trembling slightly, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

"The sun has set, it will rise tomorrow, the change of dynasties is a law that has continued for thousands of years, Master Shi is familiar with the scriptures and history, have you ever seen an eternal dynasty?" Ma Shiying was not angry, but he talked eloquently, "As powerful as the Han and Tang Dynasties, where are the Liu and Li families now?" ”

"This ......" Shi Kefa was speechless again, but this time, he was not angry, but trying his best to think.

Ma Shiying knew that Shi Kefa was going through a fierce ideological struggle, so he added a fire and said: "The millions of troops in Beijing cannot stop Li Zicheng's army, and this official heard that the Mandate of Heaven army fought from Xi'an to Beijing, but in two or three months, whether it was the state capital or the military town along the way, they all fell in the wind......

“……”

"Just like today's battle, the army of the Ming Dynasty was defeated so much that we can't even imagine," Ma Shiying continued: "It's not that the soldiers of the three towns in Jiangbei are incompetent, nor that the strength of the Mandate of Heaven Army is too strong, but the general trend, Li Zicheng grasps the general trend and conforms to the Mandate of Heaven!"

"This ......" Shi Kefa felt that he had been fighting for Daming for so long, the time to speak, all his thoughts, was shattered by Ma Shiying, at this moment, Ma Shiying did not look like his opponent in the court, but an old friend for many years!

"The number of great Ming Qi has been exhausted, and the new dynasty Huaxia was born with the sky," Ma Shiying felt that victory was in sight, and his mood was much better, so he said: "No matter how much money we have, no matter how many troops we have, in the end, they are all obtained by the Mandate of Heaven, in the face of the general trend, all personal efforts are in vain!"

"In vain?" Shi Kefa was very tired when he arrived suddenly, yes, he had been working hard, but he himself understood that the army of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what, could not stop the Heavenly Mandate Army from going south, and his efforts were all in vain in the end, and they were all in vain......

His mind seemed to drift, and he really wanted to fly to a place where there was no court, and then live in seclusion......

"Master Shi?"

Shi Kefa had just flown to the clouds, but he was torn off by Ma Shiying and returned to the reality of the bloody forest, he paused and said, "According to Lord Shoufu, how will we deal with it?" ”

Ma Shiying said lightly: "We all have military power in our hands, and only with the strength of you and me can we fully control the court!"

"Take control of the court?" Shi Kefa exclaimed: "You plan to war?" ”

"You and I didn't invent the word "military advice," Ma Shiying said: "What we have to do now is to seek the greatest interests for Jiangnan." ”

"Interests?" Shi Kefa said: "How to seek benefits for Jiangnan? ”

"First, as Master Shi said, use military advice to control the court," without waiting for Shi Kefa to interject, Ma Shiying continued: "Second, make peace with Li Zicheng again. ”

"Peace?"

"The three laws of the Mandate of Heaven, the Law of Industry and Commerce are to encourage the development of industry and commerce, which may be beneficial to Jiangnan," Ma Shiying said: "But the Law of Land is to confiscate all the land and distribute it to the people free of charge; As long as Li Zicheng does not implement these two laws in Jiangnan, not only us, but also the gentry and common people in Jiangnan will welcome the Heavenly Mandate Army!"
