Chapter 74 4.Ai Jinling

Everything is worse than a cup in hand, and you will see the moon in your life. In Yuanhui Palace, the drama "Swallows Notes" is being performed when the love is strong, and the joys and sorrows are full of sorrow and joy.Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong, accompanied by Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, drank fine wine and listened to Youling's piercing opera. At this moment, the supervisor of ceremonies came in with a small yellow box in his hand, and there were two Tang newspapers in it: one was that Duoduo soldiers broke Yangzhou and Shi Kefa died generously; Liangyu's son Zuo Menggeng lived in Banziji.

Zhu Yousong frowned when he saw the yellow box.These days, bad police news is transmitted several times a day.It doesn't mean that the Qing soldiers went south, or where Zuo Liangyu captured again; either to urge food, or to ask for payment.Therefore, he did not want to look at the court, he did not want to meet with officials, he did not want to accept memorials, and he did not want to take care of these disturbing things. The state affairs have been corrupted to this point, just like a pot of rotten fish and shrimps. Just let it stand. Right now, Wang Zhong, the ignorant supervisor of ceremonies, finally delivered the emergency report to the front of the stage.He took it and put it aside, unwilling to even open it.

Ruan Dayue was explaining the opera for the emperor, and the opera he wrote was appreciated by the emperor, Ruan Dayue was very happy, when explaining, he was as sensible as a bosom friend, and he was sensible.The emperor was fascinated by what he heard, and he didn't want to open the yellow box, but Ma Shiying paid attention to it. He saw that the emperor didn't look at it, so he opened it, and what he didn't want to put on his face was a good news——Huang Degong defeated Zuo Menggeng on the board Rocky. Ma Shiying couldn't believe his eyes. At this time, there was a good news. He couldn't help bowing to the ground, and kowtowed to the emperor to congratulate:

"Your Majesty, great joy, great news!" Zhu Yousong didn't believe it at first, so he ordered the troupe to suspend and asked Ma Shiying to read the memorial from beginning to end. Then he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, okay, this Huang Degong should be rewarded properly." As he said that, he turned his head again, preparing to deliver an order for the actor to continue singing.This time it was Ma Shiying who reminded me, saying: "Your Majesty, although the Zuo Army has been defeated, there are still major events to come." Zhu Yousong said puzzledly: "Zuo Liangyu died and Zuo Menggeng was defeated. Isn't everything going well? What else is there to do?"

Ma Shiying said: "Although Zuo Liangyu is dead, the Donglin remnant party in the court has not been wiped out. They are not the ones who are looking for the Zuo army. Can Zuo Liangyu be so bold?" Ruan Dayue also said on the side: "Your Majesty, you should take this opportunity to completely kill the Donglin party members." Zhu Yousong hated the Donglin Party the most.It wasn't for the persuasive persuasion of the Donglin party members, the emperor Wanli might have made his father Fu Wangye the crown prince, and this time he almost couldn't be made emperor, and it was also a group of Donglin remnants who hindered him.

Thinking of this, the old hatred and the new hatred came to mind, and he nodded again and again, and sent an order to call the assistant ministers to the palace to discuss matters. In fact, Ma Shiying had also read the second memorial in the yellow box, which was the news of Shi Kefa's martyrdom in Yangzhou and Duoduo crossing the river.Yangzhou is no longer guarding, can Nanjing last long?He intentionally hid this memorandum, but secretly told his friend Ruan Dayue that Yangzhou to Nanjing can be crossed with one reed! Ruan Dayue had already made up his mind, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "The most urgent thing for you and me is to secure this living treasure first."

Ma Shiying was startled, and pretending to be puzzled, he called Ruan Dayue's words and said, "Yuan Hai, what does this mean?" Ruan Dayue narrowed his eyes, and said with a sneer, "Brother Yaocao, if he wants to be Shi Daolin, it's not difficult. Tomorrow, northern soldiers may enter Nanjing. Raiders will hunt for rats, and the city will be defended to the death. What a tragic song of generosity." Ma Shiying couldn't help but smiled easily and said: "You really look at people through the cracks of the door and look down on me. Today is a difficult time for the country, and it is a time of prosperity for our generation. Among the scholars, there is one Shi Daolin who has missed the common people. , why do you need two?"

Ruan Dayue said: "That's about the same. If Dorgon wanted to unify China, wouldn't there be a former minister of the Ming Dynasty and a master of medicine like you?" Ma Shiying also responded with a meaningful smile and said: "I heard that this Dorgon really likes Chinese, and I think he also likes listening to operas." So, in the assistant minister's room, less than ten feet away from the emperor's seat, the two of them actually talked about their plans for the future. Zhu Yousong was still immersed in the dream of the great victory at Banziji, and was about to share the joy with his ministers. He made a decree to summon the ministers to the hall, but after waiting for a long time, no one came, even the one who had been sitting in the palace. Ma Shiying, who was on the side, and Ruan Dayue, who was not a minister, also disappeared.

Zhu Yousong found it incredible, so he made people knock on the cloud board and summoned all the officials to go to the hall.However, the cloud board rang for a long time, but still no minister came. Only then did Zhu Yousong panic.He walked into the guard's room, saw the yellow box that Ma Shiying had opened just now, picked it up and saw that there was a memorial inside, he couldn't help but flip through the memorial, only then did he know that Yangzhou was lost and Shi Kefa was dead.Zhu Yousong understood the distance between Yangzhou and Nanjing. Last year at this time, he traveled from Yangzhou to Nanjing and was established as emperor.He thought, if Yangzhou said it was lost, it was really lost, and this Shi Kefa was too useless. Seeing the northern soldiers crossing the river, where am I going?

Alas, what was supposed to come has finally come, and it's a big victory, what a victory! At this time, Wang Zhong, the supervisor of ceremonies, ran over in a panic, knelt down and said: "The emperor is not well. The northern soldiers crossed the river in the fog the night before yesterday. Now Zhenjiang is lost. The officials are discussing to surrender. Ma Shiying and Ruan Dayue They want to rob the emperor and surrender, and strive for the first place." Zhu Yousong couldn't help being taken aback, and said, "Ah, how dare Ma Shiying?" Wang Zhong kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "Your Majesty, at this moment, what do they dare to do, it's better to go quickly, otherwise it will be the way of others."

Zhu Yousong knew in his heart that the ministers were no longer called, and he, the emperor, became a real lonely family. Thirty-six strategies are the best, but where can he go? Wang Zhong said: "Jingnan Uncle Huang Degong is currently in Wuhu, and his army is strong, so it is better to go to Wuhu first." At this time, Zhu Yousong was in a mess, so he had to listen to Wang Zhong's arrangement. Duoduo finally led eight iron cavalry into Nanjing City on May 15th in the second year of Shunzhi (1645). In May in the south of the Yangtze River, the willows are green and the peaches are red. Duoduo, who is only in his thirties, never dreamed that the rivers and mountains in Guannei are so vast, and the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are so beautiful.Before this, he and the fourteenth brother Dorgon had made up many times and went deep into the inland, but the farthest was in Shandong and Hebei. After a small circle, thirteen provinces, less than one-sixth of them were gone.I don’t want to have a new vision when I arrive in the south of the Yangtze River—although this place has been hit by a new war, the scale of the day can be seen from the ruined walls, and the prosperity of the past can also be imagined from the embers—so beautiful The world, why is it for me! But he changed his mind, his Aixinjueluo family was born in Xiaoyi, a Shoubian in the northeast, lived in caves, and drank blood like hair.Grandpa Taizu started as a domestic slave on one side of the Ming Dynasty. Although he made a fortune later, he was only a tribal chief. Although he fought with the Ming Dynasty many times, he wanted to make peace with the Ming Dynasty many times. As for the Mongolian chief, that was the case, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty still refused to agree.Unexpectedly, today, the descendants of their Zhu family were wiped out by us, and the whole country is also ours. We, Aixinjueluo, have tried their best, isn't it only forty or fifty years?The things in the world are really not afraid of not being able to do it, just afraid of being unexpected! The majestic Ming Dynasty, with such a vast land, such a rich city, and so many capable people, was actually wiped out by my guard Bian Xiaoyi. In fact, they just need to be a little more serious and a little more sober, and don't treat their subjects like this. Don't be so reckless, we are their opponents! At this moment, Duoduo is really ambitious and defiant. He has the ambition of "I can replace him" and the pride of "immediately the first peak of Wushan". As early as the vanguard of Duduo's first army went to Danyang and headed west to Jurong, and arrived at the foot of Nanjing City on the 14th, Zhao Zhilong, uncle Xincheng of Nanming, Xu Yunjue, Duke of Wei, Wang Duo, a scholar, and Qian Qianyi, minister of rites, arrived in the rain. The suburban gate where the Qing soldiers were stationed greeted the surrender, and a notice issued in the name of Prince Regent Dorgon and Prince Yu Duoduo was posted on the thoroughfare. Duoduo officially entered the city on the 15th.On this day, all civil and military officials of Nanming were waiting outside the city. They burned incense and bowed to the left side of the road. There were 31 people including Xunqi, Dashi, Shangshu, Shilang, etc., 16 governors, one admiral, and five lieutenants. fifteen people. Seeing the group of surrenders in front of him, kneeling densely and saying very pleasant compliments, Doduo was very disgusted.This is also the so-called "well-dressed man". They usually talk about loyalty and filial piety.But right now, isn't your master dead, and the humiliated are humiliated? Why can't you die, like Shi Kefa, even if you are not an opponent, you can fight to the last one?It's so good to say it all, and bad things to do! He wanted to jump up and swear at people, swearing fiercely, until this group of people were bloodied, but he couldn't find a reason. Just at this time, I suddenly found that one of the crowd who was about to descend had shaved his hair and had a braid. Not being curious, he immediately picked up his braid with a whip and asked: "Who are you, why do you shave your hair and put your braids on?" This person was kneeling, fighting each other, when he heard a question from above, he quickly raised his head and saw a prince wearing a python robe and a three-eyed flower feather, he couldn't help but kowtow repeatedly: "The minister is Li Qiao, the imperial censor of the left capital of the Ming Dynasty. Today, he surrendered. To show his sincerity, he shaved his hair and braided his hair to show his distinction." When Duoduo heard this, he couldn't help raising his whip, and whipped Li Qiao face to face, and then pointed the tip of the whip at the tip of his nose and cursed: "Li Qiao, I heard that you southern barbarians are the most respectful. Even if a widow remarries, you can't help it. At least you have to die for a hundred days. Isn't Hong Guang still dead? Why can't you wait? Really Shameless!" Cursing, he couldn't help whipping Li Qiao twice again, which made Li Qiao's face red and ears red, and he dared not make a sound. Then, Duoduo immediately ordered the military record room to issue a notice, briefly saying: Shaving one's head has become a custom in other countries.Now when the soldiers come, they will shave their weapons but not their literature, and their soldiers will not shave their people. You must not obey the law and shave them yourself.There was a shameless official in the past, who asked to see him first, but this king has already scolded him, so he expresses it. On the seventh day after Duoduo entered Nanjing, news came that Huang Degong had died in Wuhu and Zhu Yousong had been captured. Ten days later, Emperor Hongguang was escorted to Nanjing. When he entered the city, he took a small sedan chair without curtains. Although he covered his head, wore a blue cloth coat, and covered his face with an oil fan, he was recognized by the people of Nanjing City. The people hated him for not having been in power for less than a year. , but did a lot of bad things, especially raped and killed many young girls, so they swear at each other, and some throw rubble. Hongguang Zhu Yousong is finished, and he is another Yuzi generation.Next, there are King Lu, King Tang, King Lu, and Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang. It can be seen that the Zhu family's energy is exhausted. This group of Zhu people is not as good as a crab, like fallen leaves blowing in the wind, how much can they float?But how can the well-dressed gentry in the south of the Yangtze River erase the national complex in their hearts?Therefore, Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Cangshui, Chen Zilong, Xia Wanchun, etc., one by one, "destroyed and abandoned their lives, exterminated the ancestors, cut their heads and bones, and ignored them", and many tragic stories that shocked the world and wept ghosts and gods have just begun. . The fire is burning back to the spring, and the oven is shining all night——students who take the world as their own responsibility, how silly!
