Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 696
Xianxia Ridge is like a knot on a bamboo. It was broken here, followed by Fenshui Pass by the sea, Cenyang Pass in Shouning’s Guanhe Mountain, Chong’an, and Jiaoling Pass. It was almost completely broken before Song Qingshu’s army arrived. Today, more than a dozen divisions of Liu Zongmin have penetrated into the hinterland of Bamin like a sharp knife.

In history, when the Qing army entered Fujian, at least they were resisted by Jiang Zhengxi and other patriotic generals. The two sides lost 4 to [-] horses. Zheng Sen also retreated to Xiamen with the Zheng family horses and continued to resist. But this time, the situation is completely different. It's the same. First of all, the Yingtian regime supports Emperor Chongzhen. Even if many people still don't admit that this is true, it is undoubtedly much easier to resist psychologically than to resist the foreign invasion of Jiannu.

Moreover, King Lu supervised the country and even made random moves, proclaiming himself a vassal to the Qing Dynasty, not to mention the sudden drop in morale of his own people, and killing the soldiers of Zhejiang with Jiannu, which even scattered the hearts of the people all at once. What is it if you bring outsiders to slaughter your own family?This time Guan Haiwei commanded Jiang Papi to be lucky. He became Liu Zongmin's vanguard officer. When he encountered a city, he went up to complain and described the bloody massacre that night. Shameless betrayal, a little more normal, almost surrendered.

Even in some cities, before Liu Zongmin's army arrived, some had come to surrender, and they rushed to surrender, and they were the first to hang the Ming flag newly designed by Ying Tian.

No way, the additional provisions of the "Declaration of Human Rights" announced by Song Qingshu have taken effect. In the area where King Lu supervised the country, the land rights of all landlord families who supported King Lu supervised the country will no longer be protected by the laws of the Ming Empire. There is a loophole in this statement. In the area where King Lu supervised the country, if the family of landlords who did not support King Lu supervised the country, would the land still be protected by the imperial law?

Regardless of the overall situation in the world, at least the land of Bamin will start to have the surname Song. How do you show your disapproval?Hurry up and surrender!
Almost all the county tenants near the border of Fujian and Fujian were mobilized by Song Yongzhong. With the arrival of Liu Zongmin, he directly overthrew the original rule of King Lu and supervised the country, and established a new type of local government that used the separation of administrative, judicial and public security powers under the Yingtian Dynasty model. Moving forward, it depends on who runs fast. If the landlords and squires first organize the local government and surrender to Liu Zongmin, then they will be recognized first. Song Qingshu does not intend to find them if they do not violate the laws of the Ming Empire. Settle accounts after autumn.

If the tenant farmers form a local government first and enclose the land of the landlords, the Ming army also admits, who will make you not active!

As a result, many who were still hesitant to wait and see lost the opportunity to keep or acquire their family property for no reason. Many tenant farmers came to ask for land after they established a local government outside the gentry, but they were rejected. Happiness is If you need to fight for it with your own hands, you should wait for others to give you alms. If you let others slaughter you, you deserve it. This is also Song Qingshu's intention.

However, the character characteristics of the Chinese people are clearly revealed in this movement. Liu Zongmin is marching towards Fuzhou every day. In this situation, the big landowners in the fields and fields ceded part of the land to the landless tenants, and reputable people from the two classes jointly formed county or city councils, elected Appoint their own county magistrate and mayor, and then surrender to Liu Zongmin together.

Although a large number of feudal remnants have been preserved in this process, it will change with the changes in the main productive forces of society in the future. Even Western society took 200 years to find out the path of modern democracy. Song Qingshu is not in a hurry.

On the 24th of May, when Xianxia Ridge was broken, Liu Zongmin marched towards Fuzhou almost at the speed of the march. On the 4th, he not only conquered the entire territory of Jianning Prefecture, but also recovered more than [-] Fujian and Zhejiang soldiers in Fujian. It has already arrived at the mouth of the upper reaches of the Minjiang River. At this time, Song Qingshu's army of protecting the country has only just arrived at Xianxia Ridge. Seeing this guy rushing forward like a bull, everyone's hearts were raised at the Chief of Staff meeting Fearing that he would be annihilated in an ambush, he ordered Liu Zongmin to slow down several times, but every time this guy was prevaricated on the grounds that Fangzhou and County surrendered, Song Qingshu, who was so angry that his teeth were itchy, had no choice but to pass on Feige The book was sent to Zhang Huangyan who was on the platform, and he was ordered to send troops to respond quickly.

Fortunately, dragging the cannons, after all, walked slowly. Before Liu Zongmin's troops came to Fuzhou, Zhang Huangyan's navy and Taiqi, Taiba, Taijiu, Luzon Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Divisions first captured the surrounding areas of Fuzhou. Haitan Mountain, Changle County, also occupies the mouth of the Minjiang River, and a trend of encirclement has begun in Fuzhou.

At this time, the city of Fuzhou is already in a scene like the sky is falling, almost the same as before Jiannu Ruying. Surrounded by the National Defense Army, these people really have nowhere to escape. Once again, the official position of the King of Lu to supervise the country was completely abandoned. Soft, hurriedly fled out of the city.

The Emperor Jianwu's palace in Fuzhou City was also in chaos. Less than half a year after he escaped from Zhoushan, Lu Wang Zhu Yihai had to embark on the road of escape again.

In all fairness, King Zhu Yihai of Lu is not a stupid person. Compared with Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong, who was extravagant and extravagant, he is really simple. In Zhoushan, he used temples as temporary palaces at will, and in Fuzhou, he did not make any major construction projects. He didn't have many belongings, he could pack four or five cars, but he didn't have as many belongings as Lu Daqi.

At this time, the virtues of these ministers of the King of Lu who supervised the country were also revealed, except for Gao Hongtu, who was somewhat conscientious, who left his family and business and brought dozens of servants into the palace to surround the emperor. The rest were Lu Daqi, Zhang Guowei, Chen Hanhui, Song Zhipu and others all went back to their homes to clean up their belongings and left first, abandoning the regime again.

The carriage was galloping on the street, opened, and the curtains of the carriage looked over. There were panic-stricken and fleeing nobles and dignitaries everywhere. Even the royal carriage, no one cared at this moment. Yongshengbo Zhengcai's carriage mark passed him, and he rushed to the west gate of Fuzhou. Suddenly, he was disheartened, and Zhu Yihai suddenly called the driver to stop.

"parking!"

"His Majesty!"

As soon as the carriage stopped, Gao Hongtu, the scholar behind the carriage, had rushed over anxiously.

"Your Majesty, the Liu Department under the Song thief's command has been killed in Fuzhou overnight, and the Zhang thief's navy is still wandering outside the mouth of the Zhangjiang River. There is really no delay! Please leave Fuzhou as soon as possible, Your Majesty!"

The beard flew up, Gao Hongtu's excited old body was trembling, and he kept urging, but the disheartened Zhu Yihai looked at the busy crowd and shook his head with emotion.

"If the Song thief wants to come, let him come! The widow will not leave! If Fuzhou is lost, where else can the widow go? Besides, although the Song thief is domineering, after all, the Chongzhen Lord who served him did not try to seize my Zhu family. Jiang Shan, let him go!"

When he first came to the throne and supervised the country, Zhu Yihai was really full of ambitions and wanted to turn the tide for Daming, but he was defeated in the attack on Hangzhou, and the regime immediately fell into a state of collapse. This has already dealt a great blow to his self-confidence. It is basically paralyzed. As for the re-establishment later, it is necessary to rely on a series of reforms after Song Qingshu, which forced many bureaucrats in the former Ming Dynasty to have nowhere to go. They had to fight against him under the banner of Zhu Yihai. The generals like Cai Cai and powerful ministers like Gao Hongtu controlled Zhu Yihai's power.

Under such circumstances, Gao Hongtu, Lu Daqi and other civil servants were still fighting with Zheng Cai, Zheng Zhilong and others. Now that even Fuzhou was about to be lost, it could be regarded as taking the last breath out of his heart, and Zhu Yihai really didn't want to leave even one step.

"How can Your Majesty give up? Don't say whether Lord Chongzhen is true or not, even if it is true, the Ming Dynasty was forcibly taken away by the Song thief, the rebel. How can the ancestors of the country be allowed to be judged by others? It will depend on His Majesty for generations to come! Without Fuzhou, there are still Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan’s Mu Guogong to rely on! Your Majesty has given up at this time, how can you be worthy of your ancestors!"

He had the reputation of being a fugitive minister in front of him, but he has not yet recovered, and now he has to be accused of surrendering to Jiannu and massacring his own soldiers. Gao Hongtu is not afraid of death, but dying with an eternal infamy is too frightening for him up!Gao Hongtu is putting all his bets on Zhu Yihai. If he can fight back to Jinling and kill Song Qingshu, he will be cleared of all crimes, and his name will be passed down through the ages as a minister of Zhongxing. At this time, Zhu Yihai wants to give up. most urgent.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he persuaded, Zhu Yihai, who got off the carriage, just sat in the quiet small teahouse next to him and refused to move. At this time, the crowd on the street suddenly became more flustered and avoided everywhere. A large group of soldiers wore heavy armor and carried spears , ran over with heavy footsteps, and everyone wrote the word "Zheng" on their chests and backs.

This is Zheng Zhilong's iron man team. Gao Hongtu, who was persuading him endlessly, was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Which general is leading the troops? Old man Gao Hongtu, a scholar of Dongge University, Your Majesty is here, hurry up and escort him!" "

These words caused the approaching Zheng Family Iron Man team to stop suddenly with a huff. Zheng Zhilong's youngest son, Zheng Shimo, rushed over excitedly in heavy armor, and looked around.

"Gao Hongtu, Lu Wang Zhu Yihai?"

Obviously feeling something was wrong, Gao Hongtu waved his sleeve angrily, pointed at Zheng Shimo's nose and scolded: "Bold, you dare to call your majesty by his name without kneeling when you see him! Do you want to be punished by the nine clans?"

Who knew that this Zheng Shimo didn't give him a bird's eye, and waved directly at Gao Hongtu who was frightened and angry, and Zhu Yihai who looked over sadly.

"Take it all!"
