[Today's third shift is delivered]
Jinling, Swallow Tower.
This is the periphery of the city of Nanjing, not outside the walls of the city of Nanjing. It is the late spring season, and the surroundings of the swallow building are all green. Looking at the past, it is all boundless spring. The grass has grown to the height of a palm, and the tender grass tips are full of greenery. The willow trees by the lake have also grown tender green branches. Even the calm waters of the lake seem to have a faint green glow. The breeze blows, creating layers of ripples.
In March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, which is a good season for talented and beautiful people to date, and the swallow building is an ideal place for dating. So throughout the spring, there was never a shortage of people. Other tourists, as long as they are close to the Swallow Tower, find that the talented and beautiful women inside are chanting poems against each other, and they will all take a detour with interest.
On the last day of March, the inside and outside of the swallow building are particularly lively, full of laughter, handsome and elegant sons, and beautiful women everywhere. A group of young backbones of the Restoration Society, as well as several red-card girls in Jinling City, gathered here, talking loudly, pointing out the country, and inspiring words, and felt embarrassed.
Among them, the most excited are naturally Hou Fangyu, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zhenhui, Mao Bijiang and others, who are known as the four sons. said that they were young sons, but in fact, they were all over thirty years old, but they dressed up as if they were about twenty years old, but they could also be called handsome sons.
Several beautiful girls present are all in their second or twenty-ninth years, either charming and moving, or cold and noble, or graceful and luxurious, or graceful, or graceful, or quiet and beautiful, and so on. Their clothes and outfits are all different. Everyone has a different style, and the end is Yanhuan fat and thin, everything is available.
"It's really unexpected, the Tiger Ben Army is besieging Quang Ninh City."
In the noisy voices, some people couldn't help but sigh bitterly.
In this emotional tone, there is obviously some incomprehension, and at the same time a little unconvinced. If it weren't for the news that spread in Jiangnan early in the morning, they wouldn't have believed it. The siege of Guangning City, in the past ten years, I don't know how many people have dreamed of this, but the only thing that really did it was the Tiger Army.
In fact, most of the people present felt a little strange about the news of the Tiger Army's victory. This was the mood of the Tiger Ben Army when they defeated the Tartars in Shandong. When the Tiger Ben army defeated the Tartars in Beizhili, they were still in this mood. Now, the Tiger Ben army defeated the Tartars in Liaodong, and their mood is still like this.
Because, at this moment, most of the people in the Swallow Tower are members of the Fushe, and the main purpose of the Fushe is to protect the imperial court, continue to maintain the rule of the imperial court, and continue to maintain the majesty of Emperor Chongzhen. The stronger the strength of the Tiger Army, the more dangerous it is for the imperial court. Do they rejoice, you say?
"Is the message exact?"
Someone said unwillingly.
"Seems to be true."
I don't know who replied listlessly.
may have been stimulated by this news, and the inside of the swallow building was cold for a while.
The members of the Restoration Society present were very fond of talking about current affairs, and as long as there was anything new, they could not hide it from their ears and eyes. However, what they said did not interest everyone at all. In the past, when it came to the thieves in Shaanxi, they still had the opportunity to express their opinions. However, when it comes to the Tiger Army, there are many fewer such opportunities.
There is no way, the facts are there. Whether you want to admit it or not, the strength of the Tiger Ben Army exists. In front of the Tartars, the imperial court was defeated and retreated, losing countless men and horses, and spending countless money and food, but they could not defeat the Tartars, but made the Tartars stronger and stronger. But as soon as the Tiger Ben Army made a move, they strangled the Tartar to death.
After a while, a faint female voice said slowly, "Damn Tartar, I'm afraid it's going to be the end of it this time." If Guangning City is gone, Liaoyang and Shenyang will become isolated cities, and I am afraid that they will not be able to resist the attack of the Tiger Ben army. β
She spoke softly, and the eyes of many young men present fell on her. In these eyes, there is no admiration or aggression. For the eyes of these people, the woman in white has long been accustomed to it. Because, her name is Gu Mei. She also has a number, called Mr. Yokona. That's right, she is Gu Hengbo.
The news of the siege of Guangning City by the Tiger Ben Army did make Gu Hengbo's mood very complicated. In fact, the news of the siege of Guangning City by the Tiger Ben Army had already reached Jiangnan many days ago. She also learned that Zu Dashou had been killed. It's just that in the past few days, she didn't want to believe that the news was true.
In the eyes of orthodox literati, Zhang Zhun and his tiger army are outliers and belong to the ranks of rebels. Among all the crimes in the world, the heaviest one is, of course, rebellion. Therefore, such rebels, of course, are incompatible with them. Standing at the corner of orthodoxy, Gu Hengbo attacked Zhang Zhun and his Tiger Army quite a lot.
However, what she couldn't understand was that Zhang Zhun and his Tiger Army, in the face of pressure from all sides, actually fought stronger and stronger, and now, they actually began a large-scale counterattack on the Tartars. Judging from the information gathered so far, the Tartars are only afraid that they are finished. At the time of Beizhili, the Tartars couldn't defeat the Tiger Army, and now it's even more impossible.
The Tartars are finished, and that's good news. Thinking of the slaughter of the Ming Kingdom by the Tartars, everyone could breathe a sigh of relief. However, behind the Tartars, the rise of a tiger army is not necessarily good news. The Tartars may only be looting people and materials, but the Tiger Ben Army wants to directly overthrow the imperial court.
Directly overthrowing the imperial court, what a crime this is, in any dynasty, this is a crime of stealing the family and exterminating the family. Not only will the rebels be executed by Ling Chi, but also his family and his family will all be executed.
Gu Hengbo couldn't understand why Zhang Zhun was only from a poor military family, why did he have so much ability? Why can't so many high-ranking officials and so many educated people in the imperial court arrest Zhang Zhun? The personnel and money and food of the imperial court should be several times that of Zhang Zhun, why can't they eliminate Zhang Zhun?
Don't say that Gu Hengbo can't understand such a question, that is, the entire Restoration Society can't understand such a question. The members of the Restoration Society are all well-educated people, familiar with poetry and books, familiar with history books, and have been involved in it for 5,000 years. They studied and studied, and finally came to the conclusion that it was not that Zhang Zhun was too strong, but that the imperial court itself was too weak. As long as the imperial court cheers up a little, Zhang Zhun has no chance to rise
But what can they do? They could only scold the incompetence of the imperial court, believing that they had given the Tiger Army a chance to rise. They want Liu Yuliang to resign, Fu Zonglong to resign, Yang Sichang to resign, Chen Xinjia to resign, and all the important ministers of the court to resign.
In their opinion, the reason why the imperial court could not fight the tiger army was because of this group of incompetent bureaucrats. Their abilities are too poor. As long as they are replaced by members of the Restoration Society, they will definitely be able to turn things around and overwhelm the Tiger Ben Army again.
It's just a pity that no one cares about their voices. The ministers of the imperial court firmly held their own power and refused to give it to others even if they died. No one cares about the existence of the Restoration Society. The Restoration Society still has some influence in Jiangnan, but in Beijing, Mao is not as good.
It's just that the members of the Restoration Society still have fantasies. They are all looking forward to Emperor Chongzhen, who will wake up one day, replace all the incompetent ministers around him, and abolish all those eunuchs. They, the backbone of these restored societies, will eventually hold the power of the country. If there is a day, the time of death of the Tiger Ben Army will come.
In fact, standing inside the swallow tower and looking into the distance, you can see the warships of the Huben Navy cruising back and forth on the Yangtze River. The red tiger flag on the top of the battleship's mast is very eye-catching. It was like a hot sun, which made the members of the Restoration Society feel very uncomfortable.
After occupying Yangzhou Mansion, some of the warships of the Tiger Ben Army have been cruising back and forth on the Yangtze River. At the farthest point, these warships even went to the mouth of Huguang Dongting Lake, and sometimes even went deep into Dongting Lake to check. The main purpose, of course, was to exert pressure on Jiangnan. At the same time, it is also to prevent the Ming army in Jiangnan from secretly forming a naval army and the like.
Although the Huben Navy dispatched the smallest Cangshan ships, it was enough to deter the Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River. These Cangshan boats are not large in size, but they are very numerous. Someone has roughly calculated that there are absolutely no less than 50 Cangshan ships operating on the Yangtze River.
This is not only that, the main force of the Tiger Ben Army is currently stationed in Yangzhou Prefecture, which is only separated by a river from Nanjing. As long as they got on the battleship, they could immediately launch an attack on Nanjing. Therefore, officials at all levels in Nanjing City, including Liu Zongzhou, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, were tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep
In all dynasties, the imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River relied on the navy and the Yangtze River to win. The dynasties of the north are generally not good at naval armies. But now, the Tiger Ben Army and the Navy have controlled the Yangtze River in advance, what else can they rely on?
Every time I saw those Tiger Warrior warships cruising back and forth, all the sons and beauties on the swallow tower couldn't help but secretly despise it. However, there is no other way for them than to secretly despise them. The naval army of the Nanjing garrison has long been an empty shell. It is simply impossible to expect them to resist the attack of the Tiger Army. Every time I mention this matter, I naturally have to be scolded.
Mao Bijiang found the atmosphere of the swallow building, a little depressed, a little depressed, so he shook his spirit and said: "The Southern Song Dynasty is so dark, there are one hundred and fifty years of national fortune, our Ming Dynasty's national fortune is far better than the Great Song Dynasty, after moving the capital to Nanjing, the national fortune is naturally far better than the Southern Song Dynasty, this is obvious." If the Tiger Army wants to come south, it will never be possible. β
Fang Yizhi nodded and said, "Exactly." As long as the emperor cheers up, expels the traitorous ministers who have done it, and releases the eunuchs who have done it, our dynasty will definitely be revitalized. In the land south of the Yangtze River, it is just around the corner to gather the army of the Northern Expedition and recover the lost mountains and rivers. β
The other members of the Restoration Society echoed one after another, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.
But someone in the crowd suddenly said uninterestingly: "That's not necessarily." β
Chen Zhenhui frowned and said, "Gu Yanwu, what are you talking about?" β
The person who spoke was also a member of the Restoration Society. His name is Gu Yanwu. Hearing Chen Zhenhui's somewhat unhappy questioning, Gu Yanwu's expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "I just said that I want to explain one fact." β
He ignored the unfriendly eyes of other people, and said eloquently: "If you want to be partial to the south of the Yangtze River, you must have a strong naval army, and the Yangtze River is dangerous, and it is between the enemy and us. It would be even better if you could master one or two important places in Jiangbei. However, in my opinion, it is very difficult for me to be more peaceful. β
"What is the strength of our navy, I am afraid everyone here knows very well. In the short term, it is impossible to rebuild the water army. Jiangbei fortress, Yangzhou has been occupied, Fengyang Mansion and other places, I am afraid that it is also in danger. There is no water army, and there is no Jiangbei fortress, what do I rely on? β
Hou Fangyu said with a displeased face: "Gu Yanwu, don't grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige. Could it be that you also want to show favor to the Tiger Army? β
Fang Yizhi also frowned and said, "Who said that I don't have a navy army?" Isn't there a large number of warships in the hands of Chief Officer Zheng Zhilong? As long as I give favors to the court, Zheng Zhilong will lead the army to attach it and guard the Yangtze River, so why be afraid of the tiger army? β
Gu Yanwu said slowly: "If Zheng Zhilong will definitely lead the army to attach, I will naturally be able to be peaceful." It's just that Zheng Zhilong is a wolf-hearted person like Zhang Zhun, and he led the army to attach, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for our dynasty to accept it. Guys, I don't know if you've thought about it, how did Huan Wen and the like come to power? β
Hou Fangyu said dissatisfiedly: "Huang Zongxi, what do you say? β
Huang Zongxi said without thinking: "A national thief is a national thief, what is there to say?" Even if we all die in battle, we must resist it north of the Yangtze River to ensure the safety of the mausoleum."
The others immediately scolded Zhang Zhun for being a thief.
Suddenly, someone said in a weird way: "Hehe, you guys are so lively scolding."
Everyone present felt that this person's tone was a little unfamiliar, as if they had never heard it before. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a stranger. His age, in his mid-twenties, was also dressed as a scholar. But no one knew where this man came from.
Hou Fangyu immediately stepped forward and asked loudly, "Who are you?" β
The stranger said with a big grin, "My name is Mo Yu." β
Fang Yizhi's expression sank, and he asked vigilantly, "Are you Zhang Zhun's subordinate?" β
The stranger smiled and said, "Yes, I am Mo Yu under Zhang Zhun." β
Everyone present looked at each other, quite surprised. There were a few more angry members of the Restoration Society, who had already moved their positions and surrounded Mo Yu in the middle. However, more members of the Restoration Society stared around nervously in dark colors, for fear that Mo Yu had brought the soldiers of the Tiger Army.
Zhang Zhun's subordinates actually ran to the Swallow Tower? Or is this Mo Yu, known as the "poisonous tongue"? They did have some understanding of this Mo Yu. This guy is an errand runner, and he has a share in everything. However, he is Zhang Zhun's henchman, and Zhang Zhun has many things that this Mo Yu has arranged to deal with. Needless to say, his visit to Jiangnan this time was definitely arranged by Zhang Zhun.
An older member of the Restoration Society came out of the crowd, looked at Mo Yu with a hint of hostility, and said to Mo Yu stupidly: "Mr. Jiutai, was you kidnapped and taken away?" Such a petty act is really despicable. β
As soon as he said this, the people present immediately remembered it. Lu Xiangsheng (Mr. Jiutai) was taken away by this Mo Yu. Although not many people knew about it at the beginning, slowly, everyone still knew. Everyone said that if the Tiger Ben Army did not use such a kidnapping method, it would be impossible for Lu Xiangsheng to defect to the Tiger Ben Army.
Mo Yu smiled but didn't answer, and said in a deep voice: "This is Mr. Yang Tingshu Yang?" β
The older member of the Restoration Society said, "It's down there. β
Mo Yu nodded and didn't say anything more.
When he said this, the people present were even more vigilant. Mo Yu and Yang Tingshu had never met, but they recognized each other at a glance. Obviously, this Mo Yu is definitely prepared. In other words, on the side of the Tiger Army, they, the members of the Restoration Society, must have left information. I just don't know what the hell is this guy doing here?
Mao Bijiang asked vigilantly: "Mo Gongzi came from afar, I don't know what happened?" β
Mo Yu picked up a few peanuts, threw them into his mouth casually, and said casually: "It's okay, I just heard that it's quite lively here, so I want to come up and play." I didn't expect such a group of people today, but I was surprised. Hehe, no wonder, it turns out that several of the most popular girls in Jinling City are here. Ladies and gentlemen, it is indeed a good Yaxing."
As he spoke, he unceremoniously picked up a clean wine glass, poured himself a glass of rice wine, and then drank it all. At the end, I have to wipe the corners of my mouth, and praise the taste of this rice wine is good. The people around him watched his movements, wanting to say something, but it was difficult to say. No way, this guy's backstage is very hard
Hou Fangyu said indifferently: "Young Master Mo said that he was laughing. Several girls came to join the poetry club. If Mo Gongzi has Yaxing, it is better to write a poem, what do you think? β
Mo Yu shook his head, waved his hand, and said bluntly: "A poem? Sorry dude doesn't play this with you. My buddy is a poor talent, not even a lifter, chanting poetry in front of all of you, isn't it boring to be self-deprecating? β
He has been by Zhang Zhun's side for a long time, and he has learned some of Zhang Zhun's mantras, and at this time he said them casually. He glanced at the crowd and said with some curiosity: "I don't know which one is Miss Gu Hengbo?" β
Gu Hengbo said proudly: "The little girl is." β
Mo Yu looked her up and down for a moment, nodded, and said thoughtfully: "It turns out that you are Gu Hengbo, you are really dignified, cold and arrogant."
Gu Hengbo raised his eyebrows lightly, and said coldly: "The little girl who won the award is Gu Hengbo, what do you want to say, just say it." Did Zhang Zhun send you to deal with me? β
Mo Yu shook his head and said slowly: "Hehe, if you want to deal with you, it's not my turn to call the shots." That's the Governor's business. However, I reckon the Governor has long forgotten about you. You're a little naΓ―ve, so it's no wonder the Governor isn't interested. β
It is said that Mo Yu's words are very poisonous, which makes many people unbearable, and sure enough, it is true. No, when Gu Hengbo heard this, he was really a little annoyed. Mo Yu is clearly cutting her face. She stared at Mo Yu with shining eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You said that the little woman is innocent, but the little woman has to ask for advice, where is the little woman's innocence?" β
Mo Yu said casually: "If you could defeat the Tartar if you sit here, the Tartar would have been defeated countless times." It seems that adults have written back to Miss Gu a long time ago, asking Miss Gu to be down-to-earth, do something for the people, and don't talk in the air all day long. But looking at Miss Gu's appearance today, it seems that there is no change, Miss Gu appears here, she must be talking loudly."
Gu Hengbo said sharply: "I, Gu Hengbo, know what I'm doing, and I don't need others to guide me. β
Mo Yu snapped his fingers in a dashing manner, and said simply: "Okay, that's a matter between you and adults, and I, Mo Yu, am too lazy to get involved." β
Gu Hengbo said angrily: "Mo Yu, you'd better make your words clearer. β
Mo Yu was originally a lazy person, and he was only slightly better by the discipline of the Tiger Army, so he smiled and said, "How can I make it clear?" The affairs between you and the Governor are all communicated by you in private, how can I know as an outsider? β
It's okay if he doesn't say it, but when he says this, he makes Gu Hengbo make a big face, and his face turns red when he brushes it. Mo Yu's words are easy to cause ambiguity among others, as if she and Zhang Zhun are secretly communicating with each other, and their eyebrows are going back and forth.
Gu Hengbo was about to refute, when he suddenly heard Mo Yu say, "By the way, are you interested in going out for a long trip in the near future?" If you're interested, I can arrange for you to go to Liaodong to have a look. Hehe, Huan is killing the Tartars over there, and a large number of Tartar heads fall to the ground every day. If you're late, you won't see anything. β
Gu Hengbo said angrily: "What should I go to see about the murder?" β
Mo Yu smiled slightly, and said sharply: "It turns out that you hate Tartars, it's all fake?" β
Gu Hengbo was stunned for a moment.
Mo Yu followed and said: "It turns out that Miss Gu's heart is reluctant to kill the Tartars. β
Gu Hengbo's face suddenly turned crimson.
She just accidentally made a slip of the tongue, but she was caught by this Mo Yu. Originally, there was nothing, but when Mo Yu said this, it seemed that she and Tartar were secretly compatible. With such a big charge detained, she was really unable to argue for a while.
Mo Yu waved his hand, put Gu Hengbo's matter behind, and said loudly: "I came here today to hear everyone's governance and economy. It is said that there are few people in our Tiger Army, who is willing to teach all of you here? β
Yang Tingshu said arrogantly: "Governing the country and economics, how can you wait for it to be seen? β
Mo Yu said with interest: "What does Yang Gongzi mean, what kind of person can listen to this governance economy?" β
Yang Tingshu was speechless for a moment.
He just said it casually, who knew that Mo Yu would continue to ask.
That's not a good question to answer. Whether it's high or low, this Mo Yu will definitely refute it. They just felt that this guy's ability to argue, well, or the ability to find faults, was definitely first-class.
Fang Yizhi relieved the siege and said: "Of course, it is above the court, so there is a chance." β
Mo Yu sighed and said with a little regret: "If this is the case, I am afraid that Yang Gongzi's governance and economy will never have a chance to be published." The imperial court in Beijing was afraid that Yang Gongzi would not be welcome. Yang Gongzi probably doesn't welcome our Tiger Ben Army either. Thinking about it, I'm afraid there is only this small court in Nanjing. However, whether this small imperial court in Nanjing can be established or not depends on two words."
Yang Tingshu was furious and said fiercely: "What do you mean? β
Mo Yu smiled disapprenorantly, clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I came here to tell you in advance that our army is about to attack Nanjing." In order to avoid accidentally injuring you, please pack your baggage as soon as possible and go back to your hometown If you continue to stay in Nanjing, you may become a prisoner of our Tiger Army."
As soon as these words came out, all the people present changed color.
Is the Tiger Army going to attack Nanjing?
Damn, the Tiger Army is really lawless
Mo Yu smiled casually, and said with a smile: "Huang Taiji's head is about to be conferred, and our army is about to go south, first take Nanjing, and then take Beijing." The Governor was kind enough to send me to say hello to everyone. If anyone is willing to work for our Tiger Army, we are extremely welcome. If you don't want to serve our Tiger Army, you can go as far as you want. Otherwise, if we get caught, we will have their heads cut off. It's not just you who have your head cut off, it's your whole family's head. β
Gu Hengbo said in a shrieked voice: "Zhang Zhun, this tyrant, is so rampant."
Mo Yu smiled and said with disdain: "Miss Gu, you can scold as you like, Lord Du Du won't mind." If good men don't fight with women, the governor won't be angry with you. You women, just stay in Nanjing, and our Tiger Ben Army will not invade you. But all of you here need to think about it. Think not only for yourself, but also for your family. β
"I believe everyone also knows that the offensive pace of our Tiger Army will not stop. Taking Nanjing is only the first step. After that, you have to go all the way south until you reach the other side of the sea. Therefore, if you want to live, you must not be caught by us. Otherwise, it's over. Don't expect to become a monk. Monks also have to cut off their heads. You are all full of wealth, I believe you must understand what I mean, so I won't nag. Time is precious, everyone should seize the time to think about the way out"
After that, Mo Yu casually arched his hand, turned around and swaggered away.
"This bastard"
"It's so presumptuous"
"Is this a threat to us?"
As soon as Mo Yu left, the shouting and scolding behind him immediately rang out.
Hou Fangyu and the others were all angrily reprimanding the Tiger Benjun for their shamelessness, and they wanted to tear Mo Yu apart. However, there are many more people who are holding on to the railing and falling into deep thought.
Tiger Benjun's words, they can't help but think carefully. It's a matter of life and worth. No one would think that Mo Yu was joking. Either surrender to the Tiger Army, or flee, there is no other way. If the Tiger Army really kills them, what should they do?
