Chapter 168 (10) Shi Kefa's inner monologue

Shi Kefa is not alone. In the small court of Nanming, he still has a lot of friends, such as Zhang Shenyan, the censor of the right capital, Lu Daqi, the minister of the Ministry of rites, Gao Hongtu, the minister of the household department, etc. If Shi Kefa and these few decent people Standing together, the situation in Nanming may not be so bad that it cannot be controlled. But Shi Kefa always finds excuses to hide when he encounters important meetings or important occasions.Moreover, Shi Kefa's excuse was very ridiculous. When the emperor's campaign meeting started, Shi Kefa ran to the riverside to sacrifice to Chongzhen.When it was time to discuss the candidates for the cabinet department, he ran to worship the imperial tomb again.

In short, whenever there is a big event, Shi Kefa will inevitably avoid it in the name of sacrifice. As a result, Ma Shiying, a deputy director-level researcher, represents the Ministry of War, and even chases and kills Zhang Shenyan with a knife. At this critical moment, Shi Kefa is determined not to say a word In other words, he watched Ma Shiying finally equal to him because of making too much noise.Then Zhang Shenyan was driven away by Ma Shiying with a knife, then Gao Hongtu was driven away, and then Lu Daqi was driven away. Shi Kefa still hid as much as he could, and hid as much as he could. Finally, he was the only brother left in the court. people.

So Shi Kefa was also driven away. If Shi Kefa had a monologue in his heart, it would be like this: When Zhang Shenyan was driven away by Ma Shiying, I didn't dare to speak. When Gao Hongtu was chased away by Ma Shiying, I didn't dare to speak. When Lu Daqi was chased away by Ma Shiying, I still didn't dare to speak. Now Ma Shiying came to chase me away again, and no one spoke for me anymore. The person who knows Shi Kefa's strange character best is Gao Jie, the overthrowing kite. Which earth-shattering kite Gao Jie? It was Gao Jie who abducted Li Zicheng's wife, Xing Shi, and led his army to escape from the bandits.Over the years, Gao Jie and the Xing family have loved each other, giving birth while fighting, and have given birth to a lot of children.

The current Gao Jie is no longer the young kidnapper he was back then. The waves washed the sand and the misty rain was hazy. At this time, Gao Jie has become one of the four towns that the Nanming government relies heavily on. Which four towns? The first town is Liu Zeqing Town, that is, the general Abatai who once cooperated with Wu Sangui to slash the Qing Dynasty was received cordially by Emperor Chongzhen. Later when Li Zicheng called, Chongzhen ordered him to rush to help, but he claimed that he "Inconvenient for legs and feet", he refused to send troops, but ran to Jiangbei.

The second town is Gao Jie, the earth-shattering kite. The third town is Liu Liangzuo, the commander-in-chief. The fourth town is Jingnan Bohuang Degong. But it is said that Fu Wang came to the throne as the emperor of Taiping, so he frantically searched for young girls for the lucky emperor, and the army of the four towns went straight to Yangzhou, all wanting to seize the commanding heights of Yangzhou, the world of flowers and flowers. The first one to arrive was Gao Jie, the sky-shattering kite. He and his wife, Xing Shi, brought their children and killed them madly along the way. Have the common people seen such a ruthless person before?He was killed until his blood flowed like a river, and his corpses were scattered all over the field.The people of Yangzhou were terrified by this murderer, they dared not open the city, they climbed up the tower and guarded it, and Gao Jie was not allowed to enter the city.

Gao Jie was very sad, and said: Folks, I am here to protect you, how can you not let me protect you... Let me kill, kill, kill! The Nanming army began to attack Yangzhou.The arrows under the city were like shooting stars, and the people in the city threw down stones. In the blink of an eye, they fought for two full months. At this time, Shi Kefa came. When Gao Jie heard that Shi Kefa was coming, Gao Jie was startled, and hurriedly ordered people to dig more than a hundred deep pits overnight, throw all the people killed these days into them, bury them, and then set up an ambush to bravely come to see Shi Kefa. When I was scared, my whole body was shaking and sweating profusely.After struggling for a long time, Gao Jie suddenly discovered that Shi Kefa was a kind and honest gentleman.

Good gentleman. A gentleman can be deceived. No wonder the Minister of Defense hides when he sees a problem. It turns out that he is too easy to bully.So when Gao Jie came back, he first ordered his subordinates to surround Shi Kefa, dispatched all of Shi Kefa's personal followers to attack Yangzhou, and then used his own soldiers to monitor Shi Kefa at close range. Consider whether it is necessary for Shi Kefa to take a look. So Shi Kefa was under Gao Jie's supervision, lying on the table every day, writing memorials to show his merits for Gao Jie, and transferred Gao Jie's territory to another relatively fertile territory: Guazhou.

But how could the people of Guazhou be trampled by Shi Kefa as a gift to Gao Jie? Shi Kefa didn't care so much, and now he finally got his wish and entered Yangzhou to start working. The first thing in the office is to ask for food, grass and soldiers for the four towns. However, the request of the Minister of Defense was immediately rejected by Ma Shiying, a deputy director-level researcher: not allowed. Shi Kefa didn't dare to say anything.
