In Nanjing City, in the imperial palace, Zhu Cihong summoned people from southern Henan in the main hall.

Li Hu knelt in the middle of the hall with some trepidation, and listened to Zhu Cihong say with appreciation: "Gao Qing defeated Dongyu this time and captured Kong Youde, which made me very pleased. I heard that Gao Qing sent you to Nanjing, in addition to offering prisoners, or to urge military salaries, right? ”

Zhu Cihong and his cronies carefully analyzed Gao Yihuan, and felt that Gao Yihuan was still worth winning over at the moment.

Judging from Gao Yihuan's actions, whether he is a Zhu Quanzhong-style figure or not, at least he is anti-Qing at this time.

After the demise of Li Zicheng, the Nanjing court's strategy of uniting with the Pingkou had been shaken.

Although there are still many people in the DPRK and China, some people gradually realize that they must guard against the eastern captives.

In this case, as long as Gao Yihuan is there, the front line of Xiangfan in the Ming Dynasty will be worry-free, so Zhu Cihong feels that Gao Yihuan can use it, and even hopes to influence him and make him loyal to him.

Therefore, he specially summoned Li Hu, the general of the Wei Wu Army, who came to Nanjing to sacrifice prisoners, to appease Gao Yihuan's subordinates.

Li Hu was ordered by Gao Yihuan to escort Kong Youde to Nanjing, and at the same time to see if he could order something to go back.

Although Li Hu has also seen a lot of the world with Gao Yihuan, he has worked with tens of thousands of Tartars, and he is not afraid of death on the battlefield, but I don't know why, Zhu Cihong, who is sitting in the main hall, is just a seventeen-year-old boy, but he really doesn't dare to look up, and he can't speak, and he is panicked.

Listening to Zhu Ciniang's words, Li Hu's mind was blank, and when the eunuch next to him reminded him, he remembered the second uncle's confession, and hurriedly kowtowed: "This~ Long live, the big marshal said to serve long live, the hardships and difficulties are nothing at all, even if the brothers can only drink gruel every day and wear tattered battle jackets, they must beat the Tartars away and restore the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Cihong was too young after all, and when he heard this, his heart was shocked, "No matter how hard it is, the soldiers can't be bitter, I will first allocate 200,000 silver and 200,000 stone of grain to Jingzhong, and reward the soldiers." ”

The Nanjing court was not rich, but Zuo Liangyu Town, in addition to the taxes near Wuchang, went to Zuo Town, and the court had to supply 400,000 taels of silver and 200,000 stones of grain every year.

Zuo Liangyu didn't do anything, he took so much money and food, Gao Jingzhong resisted the Eastern Captives, captured Kong Youde, and only gave such a little, which made Zhu Cihong a little embarrassed.

Li Hu hurriedly thanked him, Zhu Cihong said a few more words, and then quietly folded the cuff with a hole in his hand into his sleeve and waved him away.

After all, Li Hu saw the emperor for the first time, he was very apprehensive, he didn't play very well, he didn't talk neatly, and after he withdrew from the hall, he regretted it a little bit, and didn't ask the emperor for more things.

200,000 taels, which is not a fraction of the cost of this war, cannot compensate for the losses of Wei Wujun at all, but 200,000 stone of grain still has a little effect.

In the next few days, Li Hu led the soldiers of Wei Wu Army who accompanied him and wandered around the city.

The proud soldiers and fierce generals from southern Henan, wearing bloated cotton jackets, exuded a strong local atmosphere and rampant energy, they ate all over Nanjing's restaurants, slept all over the prostitutes in the secret door, and wandered around the city of Nanjing while waiting for the reward to be implemented.

Li Hu waited for a few days, but there was no news about the reward promised by the emperor, so several people found Wang Shicong, and Wang Shicong found He Tengjiao to ask when the money and food allocated to Gao Yihuan would be sent.

As a result, he found the Ministry of War, but Ruan Dacheng said that the will had been received, but the Ministry of War did not have any documents, and he had to go to the Ministry of Household to ask for money and food, so the ball was kicked to the Ministry of Household again, and the Ministry of Household said that the salary of the soldiers this year had already been allocated to the Ministry of War, and he asked him to go to the Ministry of War.

Li Hu was too little, looking at the posture, it was difficult to even get this.

The administrative efficiency of Wei Wujun is extremely high, where has Li Hu met this kind of ramp-and-greg, originally he met the emperor and felt that the imperial court was not bad, but now he has no good feelings, and he almost didn't give the bureaucrats in the yamen angry to death.

When the military department and the household department played the ball, Nanjing City ushered in a major event, the emperor personally issued an order, sentenced Kong Youde to death, and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to select the veteran executioner and execute him.

In the Nanjing Heavenly Prison, a large group of soldiers poured into the cell, and a group of Ming soldiers who were once regarded by Kong Youde as local chickens and dogs now entered the cell with great might.

Since being caught by Gao Yihuan, Kong Youde has known that he will have this day, so he has long been ready to die.

"Hmph, are you finally going to kill this king?" Kong Youde sat in the gloomy cell, with heavy shackles on his head, and sneered, "This king doesn't want to live for a long time, cut it quickly, don't delay everyone's time." ”

An official who came to detain him smiled and said: "I'm sorry, this time it's really not good, Your Majesty personally set the punishment, and invited the executioner Lao Dao Liu, who fled from Beijing, to toss for two or three days." ”

When Kong Youde heard this, his color suddenly changed, and he was about to bite his tongue immediately, but several brocade guards were already prepared, and they rushed up, smashing the handle of the knife, and after a while, all the teeth were smashed out.

In Qian Qianyi's mansion, Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, was slumped on the bed, his body was covered with a quilt, and there was crystal clear saliva at the corner of his mouth.

In the first month, the weather in Nanjing was still cold, Qian Qianyi suddenly heard the news that Kong Youde was captured, and the hope of peace was even slimmer.

As soon as Qian Qianyi fell, the main peace faction was immediately disheartened, and Qian Qianyi was originally unified within the Donglin Party, but now the opinions are also divided.

Strictly speaking, the Donglin Party is not a political party in the true sense, they are not a fixed group, there is no strict organization, and at the same time, there is no clear political proposition, and the situation of everyone in the party is different.

There are people like Qian Qianyi, as well as people like Xie Xuelong, Gu Xichou, Sun Chengzong, Li Banghua, Li Ruoxing, and Song Shixiang who generously paid for the country's difficulties, and the structure is very complex and cannot be simply defined.

Qian Qianyi suffered a stroke, and as soon as the pillars of Donglin fell, the Donglin Party became a little unstable, and they quarreled over war and peace.

Several important members of the Donglin Party came to visit Qian Qianyi, and when they saw that Qian Qianyi couldn't get better for a while, they could only shake their heads and leave.

At this time, Zheng Sen ran in in a hurry, and saw a beautiful woman in her early twenties, taking care of Qian Qianyi, his eyes lit up suddenly, he walked over and glanced at Qian Qianyi on the bed, and then stared at the beautiful woman, "Master, the teacher is better, it's all wrong to blame me, I didn't expect the teacher to be so excited!" ”

On the bed, Qian Qianyi's mouth was drooling, his throat was grunting, his body kept shaking, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't say it.

Liu Ru sighed and comforted: "The imperial doctor said, there is no big problem, but it is impossible to say whether it can be recovered, even if it is good, it is likely to leave sequelae." ”

Zheng Sen was suddenly anxious, "Don't worry, there are students here, you must invite the best Langzhong, even if you spend more money, you must cure the teacher." ”

Liu Ru nodded slightly, "Da Mu has this heart, it's fine." By the way, you came here today, but what's the matter? ”

Hearing this, Zheng Sen's eyebrows fluttered, "Master, don't you know, today, the imperial court is going to punish the national thief Kong Youde, it's really happy!" The Korean general Kong Youde was sent to Nanjing, which greatly boosted the morale of the people, and the Korean Gongzhen is a model for my generation, and I have decided to devote my pen to the army to serve the country. ”

When Liu Ru heard this, his face showed a heroic spirit, and he said with a smile: "When there is chaos today, Hu Lu invades the south, and South Korea defeats the captured soldiers and defends one side, which can be called a hero." You have to put pen to paper, and your wife supports you! ”

Zheng Sen's face was overjoyed, and Qian Qianyi, who was lying on the bed, muttered even more in his throat~
