Since Duoduo decided to sweep eastern Zhejiang, he immediately acted vigorously and resolutely and ordered Dorobellebolo to select 200,000 elites and prepare to move south in three days.

The reason why Duoduo was able to gather the grain and grass materials needed by the army in such a short period of time was that in addition to the ability of the Han thief Hong Chengchou, the main reason was that the Qing court occupied Jiangnan and plundered the assets of countless Han people, and the materials and silver in his hands were extremely abundant.

In the Ming generation, the gentry loved money, and the country was in trouble and did not want to donate their money.

In the last years of Emperor Yizong, the finances of the imperial court collapsed, and the Son of Heaven issued an order in mid-February, instructing the honorable relatives, eunuchs, and hundreds of officials to repay the money, and pay 30,000 taels of silver as the superior.

Donating money is not a desirable strategy, but since the Son of Heaven has issued an order, the Emperor Xun has received the favor of the country, and the court has reached a time of crisis, and there are no eggs under the nest, and the Emperor Xun should also contribute to the country for his own benefit, but after the order of the Son of Heaven was issued, the dignitaries and nobles did not care about each other.

Seeing this, Emperor Yizong had to send Xu Gao, an internal official, to secretly inform Zhou Hou's father, Jiading Bo Zhou Kui, and ask him to pay 120,000 taels of silver to set an example for other ministers, but Zhou Kui refused to agree, saying that "the old minister is more gold?" "I insisted that I could only donate 10,000 taels.

Zhou Kui, as the father-in-law of the Son of Heaven, received more than 10,000 taels of favors on weekdays, but the Son of Heaven thought it was too little, and asked him to take out at least 20,000 taels. Zhou Kui gritted his teeth, but he refused, but Zhou Hou really couldn't look past it, so he secretly sent someone to send five thousand taels, and Zhou Kui not only did not add a copper himself, but deducted two thousand of the silver sent by Zhou Hou, and only responded to the order with three thousand taels, and actually donated a negative number.

Among the Manchu Dynasty relatives, only Taikang Bo Zhang Guoji lost 20,000 taels of silver and was promoted to marquis. The donations from civil and military officials ranged from only a few dozen taels to a few hundred taels.

Soon the Dashun army entered the city and copied 530,000 taels of silver from Zhou Kui's house, and other property was worth hundreds of thousands of taels, while Dashun only recovered more than 70 million taels of money in Beijing.

Emperor Yizong's act of ordering donations is certainly inappropriate, but at the most critical moment of the country, the noble emperors and relatives are so fond of money, the upper nobles of the country are like this, and the atmosphere of the majority of gentry loving money can be seen in the Ming season.

In the south of the Yangtze River, there is known as the wind of tax resistance, but the commercial tax levied by the imperial court is actually not heavy, but the gentry cherish the money, connect with Donglin, and are unwilling to deliver, as a result, the Ming Dynasty's finances have always been on the verge of being stretched.

After the Qing army went south, the Jiangnan gentry suddenly woke up when the country was in danger, and there were not a few people who destroyed their homes and relieved the suffering, but the general trend has gone, not only was they slaughtered by the Qing court, but the wealth accumulated by several generations also became the military resources for the Qing army to go south to destroy the Ming army.

Before Wang Yan entered Chu, he tried all means to raise military expenses, but the Qing court had no concerns about this, and could slaughter the Jiangnan gentry unscrupulously to obtain money.

People in the world say that it is far more difficult to keep a business than to start a business, and the saboteur often has more advantages than the one who keeps the business.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty dominated most of China with small clans outside the Guan, and its money mostly came from destruction and plunder, but the Southern Ming court could not harm its own people, the Qing court relied on the wealth from looting, gave wisdom to the small people, and reduced taxes to buy people's hearts, but Nanming did not have such ill-gotten gains, and had to collect taxes, and even increase taxes, to maintain the operation of the imperial court and the war with the Qing court, in the long run, the finance and people's hearts were not conducive to the Southern Ming.

At this time, Duoduo relied on the materials plundered by the Qing court in the south of the Yangtze River, and easily organized an army of 200,000 to attack eastern Zhejiang, and Hou Fangyu's helmsman order also spread throughout Jinling.

In the second year of Longwu, the first year of Lu Jianguo, and the third year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, on February 29, Duoduo recruited troops and horses from all over the south of the Yangtze River and assembled in the suburbs of Jiangning.

In the early morning, Duoduo handed over the affairs of Jiangning to Hong Chengchou, and then rode out of the city under the support of the guards, and Jiangning officials sent him off.

On the street, a group of Qing soldiers, standing on both sides of the street, isolating the people, Duoduo riding on a tall horse, majestic, holding the horse slowly, Hong Chengchou, Hou Fangyu and Baiguan, followed behind.

The people along the street were all ordered to bow their heads and kneel, and if they showed the slightest disrespect, they were immediately beaten by the Qing soldiers.

In the restaurants on both sides of the street, several windows were opened and a crack in the door, and more than a dozen men, with serious faces, watched a group of people walking slowly on the street from the gap.

They were dressed in strong suits, with long knives on their tables, and even bows and arrows, and hand guards.

In the past dynasties of China, except for the extremely perverted Meng Yuan, other dynasties basically did not prohibit the possession of weapons by the people, of course, fine armor, bows, crossbows, firearms, etc. were still not allowed.

"Lord Incense, the captive chief Duoduo is here, let's do it~"

At the window, a man gently lowered the window, closed the gap, and turned his head to a middle-aged man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.

The middle-aged man glanced at the many congregants with cold sweat on their foreheads, stood up, and walked to the window: "Who is Duoduo?" Everyone here must be thundering. Today, we are gathered here to be ordered to get rid of this thief and prevent the Qing army from moving south. This operation is extremely risky, and our family members will definitely take care of it with all our hearts. Gentlemen, Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, today is the time for us to achieve righteousness. Anti-Qing and Mingming, all the gentlemen encourage together! ”

When many congregants heard this, their faces were solemn, and they all whispered in agreement: "Heaven and Earth Society, oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and kill yourself for righteousness." ”

When the incense lord saw that everyone had finished speaking, he distributed a poison to each of them, and then he himself took a bow and arrow, and leaned against the window.

He did not choose the hand system, because the accuracy of the firearm was really not flattering, and although the power of the bow and arrow was small, he was sure to shoot.

At this time, in the team on the street, Hou Fangyu was riding on a horse, following closely behind Hong Chengchou, he looked at Duoduo in front of him, who had already approached the Bailu Tower where the Heaven and Earth Society was ambushing, and he couldn't help but be very nervous.

At this time, he was about to reduce his speed so as not to be accidentally injured by the congregation, but suddenly heard a broken drink, and three men kneeling on the side of the street suddenly got up, suddenly raised their hands, and a sleeve arrow shot directly into his waist, and Hong Chengchou on the side was also hit by two arrows.

Hou Fangyu and Hong Chengchou screamed, then fell off their horses, many officials saw this, and suddenly there was a chaos, and the Qing soldiers guarding Duoduo saw this, so they immediately raised their shields and surrounded him.

The three men did not leave, and one of them laughed loudly, "Fujian Chen dialect, now in addition to the country's thief, life is very lucky, and the name of the ancestors is not dishonored." ”

Duoduo on the war horse, seeing the sudden scene, was immediately furious, and hurriedly scolded the Qing soldiers to take down the three of them.

At this time, in the restaurant, the incense lord saw this, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Whose man and horse is this, why did he assassinate at this time, wouldn't he be pregnant with our big things." ”

The congregation saw that the Qing soldiers were already protecting Duoduo, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Xiang, what now?"
