Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 274

Huang Zongxi changed his mind and decided to tell the truth.

At that moment Huang Zongxi said: "According to the order of the Holy One, please send troops from the brotherly country."

When talking about the four words "Brotherhood of Brotherhood", Huang Zongxi deliberately emphasized his tone.

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Huang Zongxi, you don't need to deliberately emphasize the country of brothers. I, Dashun, and your Ming Dynasty are not a country of brothers, but it is true that there is a gentleman's agreement between Chongzhen and Chongzhen. However, the gentleman's agreement only stipulates that we will not drive away Jiannu. They attacked each other before, but there was no agreement that the two would join forces to fight."

Huang Zongxi said: "The gentleman's agreement between my sage and your majesty did not agree to join forces to fight, but your majesty must know the truth."

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold?" Li Zicheng asked, "So the situation in Xuzhou is very bad?"

"Very bad." Huang Zongxi nodded and said, "Now the entire city of Xuzhou has been besieged by the Jiannu army. What's more troublesome is that the Yellow River waterway has also been completely blocked by Jiannu's red cannons. The tank boats are already unable to enter and leave Xuzhou City, if Dashun refuses to save him, Xuzhou will run out of food within two months."

"Zhuzi, are you trying to deceive me that no one in Dashun understands the hydrology of the Yellow River?" Song Xiance said angrily.

Huang Zongxi's eyes fell on Song Xiance, while guessing the identity of this person, he asked, "Why did you say that, sir?"

Song Xiance snorted coldly and said, "It's a south windy day, and the surface of the Yellow River will be foggy almost every day. Therefore, the Ming army's naval warships and tank boats will not be blocked by the Hongyi cannons at all!"

"This..." Huang Zongxi was speechless, he didn't expect this dwarf to know the hydrology of the Yellow River.

Huang Zongxi didn't know that Song Xiance was originally from Henan, grew up by the Sui River, and was very familiar with the hydrology of the Sui River and the Yellow River, so he really missed his calculation.

Song Xiance sneered and said: "Chongzhen intends to sell miserably in front of my sage, and then use my sage's sympathy for him to let Dashun send troops to attract Jiannu soldiers for him, so that he can reap the benefits?"

Li Zicheng also said with a dark face: "Huang Zongxi, is this the sincerity of Daming and Chongzhen?"

Zuo Maodi, who also came to Luoyang, was in a hurry and wanted to help Huang Zongxi but couldn't.

Fortunately, Huang Zongxi was quick-witted, sighed and said: "Well, His Majesty Emperor Dashun is wise and mighty, really nothing can be hidden from you."

This was somewhat beyond the expectations of Li Zicheng and Song Xiance.

Li Zicheng was even a little secretly happy, how can I be easy to deceive?

Song Xiance was not so easy to deceive, and said coldly: "I want to see what else you can make up."

"I'm sorry, it turns out that this is Song Junshi." Huang Zongxi walked over with a high hat without any trace, "I often hear people say that Song Junshi is a Zhuge Liang-like figure, and today I saw it, and it really is."

Hearing this, Niu Jinxing on the other side felt as uncomfortable as eating shit.

Ai ai ai, this prime minister is the number two person in the Dashun Dynasty, okay?
Song Xiance liked it in his heart, but said with a blank expression on his face: "Stop doing this."

"What I'm saying is all the truth." Huang Zongxi paused, then said with a sad face, "In front of the wise and mighty Emperor Yongchang and the Song military master like Zhuge Liang, I can only tell the truth."

The scene when he met Yan Yingyuan and others in Pizhou flashed in his mind, and Huang Zongxi said again: "To be honest, our Ming Dynasty has already caused a disaster, Huai'an Mansion and even the whole Nanzhi have been in chaos!"

"Party struggle!" Li Zicheng, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing said almost at the same time.

"That's right, it's party disputes, and His Majesty the Emperor and Army Master Song must be no strangers to this."

Huang Zongxi didn't know that the party struggle in Nanjing was out of control, but in order to achieve the goal of luring Li Zicheng to send troops to Beijing, he decisively decided to "create" the party struggle, and he wanted to make it as serious as possible.

"Before Jiannu went south, my family's sage sent a group of scholars to Huai'an Mansion to train [-] Xiangyong."

"Before, it was these [-] Xiangyongs who severely damaged Duoduo's slave-building army under the city of Shanyang, so that Huai'an Mansion was able to be defended, and only half of the south of the Yangtze River was able to be preserved."

"But now, the military power of these [-] townspeople has been taken back by the Ministry of War."

"Not only that, several court elders in the court also took the internal money of my family's sage under the guise of investigating the case."

Speaking of this meal, Huang Zongxi said with righteous indignation: "Now, it's not that the warships and tank ships of the Daming Navy can't enter Xuzhou City, but that the money from the internal money cannot leave Nanjing, and Nanjing's grain cannot be loaded into the tank ships. The grain tank boats can't pass through Yangzhou at all, but the grain and grass in Xuzhou city are only enough to last for a month!"

Hearing this, Li Zicheng and Song Xiance were somewhat skeptical.

Because the factional struggles of the Ming Dynasty are well known in the world, when the rebel army first started their uprising, if it wasn't because of the outbreak of factional struggles from time to time, they would have been wiped out by the Ming army many times.

Seeing this, Niu Jinxing's rebellious psychology immediately came up.

You Song Xiance believed, but the prime minister didn't believe it, and immediately scolded: "You say party disputes, but we believe it? This is just nonsense to deceive my family sage to send troops."

"This must be Prime Minister Niu, right?" Huang Zongxi thought to himself that since he had already praised Song Xiance, he must step down on Niu Jinxing. Sure enough, you are really short-sighted, and I don't know what kind of face is in the position of prime minister."

"Ah you?" Niu Jinxing was furious, "Zhuzi insulted me too much!"

Stamping his feet, Niu Jinxing yelled again: "Come here, and this prime minister will drag this stick out and chop it up!"

When even two soldiers from the Dashun Army rushed in, escorted Huang Zongxi and walked out, Huang Zongxi was not afraid at all, and just sneered and said: "If you don't work your hands, you will have your own feet!"

After finishing speaking, Huang Zongxi flicked his sleeves, turned and walked out.

"Slow!" But Song Xiance would not let Niu Jinxing get what he wanted.

"Even if the two countries do not cut off their envoys, let alone the agreement between the emperor and Chongzhen."

"Well, no matter what, don't kill the envoy." Li Zicheng finally spoke, and the two Dashun troops turned around and withdrew.

"My lord, this thief has insulted me so much, if I don't kill him, what face will I have?" Niu Jinxing said aggrievedly, so how can I have any prestige as a prime minister?

Song Xiance smiled and said, "The prime minister must be magnanimous."

Li Zicheng also smiled and said: "Mr. Zuo is right, the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, so the prime minister doesn't have to haggle over every detail with an envoy."

Niu Jinxing was so depressed that he was half dead, but he couldn't speak anymore.

Li Zicheng said to Huang Zongxi: "Although your words are too much, neither I nor the prime minister will care about you like you. However, what the prime minister said is not unreasonable. Whether there is really a party dispute in Nanjing needs to be checked. If it is really like you As I said, Daming is in danger of being overthrown, so I will definitely send troops."

"Your Majesty, just send someone to Nanjing to investigate."

Huang Zongxi was a little guilty, but there was no expression on his face.

"There is no need to go to Nanjing." Song Xiance said with a smile, "If such a big event really happened in the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely spread throughout the entire South Zhili within seven days, and it would spread to Henan Province in half a month."

Li Zicheng said with a straight face: "So you wait in Luoyang first. If the news is verified in half a month, and there is indeed a party struggle in the Nanjing court, I will follow my words and definitely send troops."

After a pause, he continued, "But if you find out that you are lying..."

Huang Zongxi straightened his clothes and said without fear: "Then please behead this head!"

Huang Zongxi said this firmly, because there must be party disputes.

Li Zicheng nodded coldly: "Remember what you said."

……

Song Xiance's estimation is still somewhat conservative.

It didn't take seven days at all, and the news spread in just three days.

Five days later, the news reached Fengyang Mansion and Huai'an Mansion, and seven days later, Jiannu knew the news.

"Master, great joy, great joy!" He Luohui rushed away excitedly, just in time to see Hou Fangyu reciting the popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms to Dorgon.

Seeing Hou Fangyu, a look of pity flashed across He Luohui's face.

Dorgon waved his hand, and Hou Fangyu hurriedly withdrew.

He Luohui knelt down and beat Qian, and said excitedly: "Master, it's a happy event, Nanming's internal strife broke out!"

"Internal strife broke out in Nanming? What's going on?" Dorgon cheered up and said anxiously, "Tell me quickly."

He Luohui said: "Xizuo just reported that about seven or eight days ago, an internal strife broke out in the Nanjing court, and Shi Kefa, the chief assistant of the Nanming cabinet, was kicked out of the court, and he was in charge of Chongzhen's internal funds, which is a surname of Qian Liang. Ma’s boss has also been imprisoned by members of the Donglin Party, and now the entire city of Nanjing is in chaos.”

"The capital and the assistants have been driven away?" Dorgon said with a heavy blow, "It seems that there is a real mess."

At that moment Dorgon said again: "Cao Eryu, go and invite Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan me."

"Hey!" Cao Eryu, who was guarding the door, knelt down and slapped a thousand, and then rushed to invite Hong Chengchou and other three hardcore traitors to come to Dorgon to walk.

Soon, three hardcore traitors entered the camp.

"The slave is waiting to see the master." Hong Chengchou and the three of them flicked their sleeves and knelt down to strike.

"Waiting." Dorgon hurried forward two steps, and supported Hong Chengchou and the three of them up.

"Three gentlemen, I have some good news for you." Dorgon could no longer suppress the joy in his words, "The court in Nanjing is already in chaos, and Shi Kefa, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has been kicked out of the court by his political opponents. "

"Partisanship has come back?" Hong Chengchou was surprised when he heard the news.

Fan Wencheng also said pleasantly: "If this is the case, it will not take two years at all!"

Dorgon waved his hand and said, "He Luohui, tell the three gentlemen what you know."

"Hey!" He Luohui immediately told Hong Chengchou and the others the news he had heard from the spy.

After listening, Hong Chengchou sighed softly and said: "It's a pity that the Donglin Party failed to complete all its achievements."

"That's right." Fan Wencheng also said, "The internal funds still fall into the hands of Chongzhen's imperial party."
