Chapter 443

The next day in the city of Nanjing, news suddenly came out that the imperial army had defeated tens of thousands of Tartars in Henan and beheaded a shell of the Tartars.The captives have already arrived in Jiangbei.

Since the Liao Incident, the Ming Dynasty has been losing continuously in wars.

Every defeat is actually a huge blow to the morale of the people.

If a large empire is bullied by a small clan of several 10 people for decades, and fails again and again, it is inevitable that people will not be discouraged, and even have no hope and expectation for the court.

However, in a city of ten houses, there must be loyalty. There is no shortage of passionate and loyal people in any era and anywhere. It's just that the Ming army failed again and again, making people gradually lose confidence, from hope to disappointment and numbness. Nobody talks about these nasty things.

Suddenly hearing that the officers and soldiers had won the battle, the people of Nanjing who did not care about political affairs, as well as the literati, were startled at first, but then suddenly became excited, and the news spread throughout the city in a very short period of time.

Especially the young scholars, the superintendents of the Guozijian, were all excited.

At any time, young people are always the most impulsive and radical.

This kind of radicalism is sometimes not a good thing, but if young people are not impulsive, have no ideals, and do not hate evil, then this country and dynasty will almost come to an end.

For a while, this matter was discussed again in the restaurants, teahouses, and even in the brothels, and the girls in the brothels all knew about Gao Yihuan.

After all, as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, everyone hopes that the Ming Dynasty will be stronger and not always be defeated.

The news of this victory, as if the national football team entered the World Cup, immediately became a hot topic in Nanjing. If you don't know Gao Jingzhong, Gao Dashuai, you will be despised by others, as if you are not fashionable enough.

In the love building and the painting boat, the literati who usually do some obscene poems also catch up with the fashion and start to chant poems in a dragged tone, "Why don't men wear Wu hooks and collect fifty states in Guanshan." and other poems.

Of course, the vast majority of people just follow the fashion, show off in front of their sisters and get the favor of famous prostitutes, and if they really give him a Wu hook, they will be persuaded immediately.

In Nanjing City, in a restaurant, Wang Shicong and Chen Zilong were sitting opposite each other. Hearing the voices of discussions around them, he suddenly felt that Nanjing City was not dead.

Wang Shicong smiled, "Brother Maozhong, at noon tomorrow, the captives will cross the river, and I will trouble you to bring more colleagues over. In addition, Brother Maozhong has a high prestige in Shilin. There are young scholars mobilized."

Chen Zilong nodded and said with a smile, "Brother Kunyu, don't worry."

After the two met, they dispersed separately. Wang Shicong went to see He Tengjiao, but Chen Zilong did not go to see Shilin's friends.

When Chen Zilong talked about the current situation, the young man couldn't help nodding his head slightly after hearing this, "He Ge's move has offended several senior scholars in the cabinet. But when He Ge's first visit to Nanjing, he has no foundation. Don't dare to offend them too deeply!"

The young man said with a sneer, "This time is actually an opportunity for us. We can take advantage of Gao Jingzhong's big victory to incite Tai students and scholars to attack the cabinet, saying that they are betraying the country for glory and betraying Ming's interests. Make peace with the Qing court."

Chen Zilong is a smart man, but in this way, wouldn't He Tengjiao and Gao Jingzhong be cheated? The cabinet must hate these two people.

Seeing Chen Zilong's expression, the young man said, "Brother Maozhong, the only one His Majesty can trust is us. Now our strength is too small. Pushing He Tengjiao to the front is beneficial to our development. Besides, this is all for His Majesty!"

The news of Henan's great victory spread quickly in the city, but I don't know when it started, but it became a complaint against the cabinet. It was very dissatisfied with the cabinet's inaction in the past two years and Qing's weakness.

In fact, the actions of the Nanjing court in the past two years have dissatisfied many people, but there has been no event that can be expressed by everyone. Now some people deliberately incited it, and immediately the public became a little excited.

In Nanjing City, Wenyuan Pavilion, a few academicians sat in the lobby gloomily, their hearts filled with anger.Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa, Qian Qianyi and others were all upset.

The imperial court was preparing to negotiate a peace with the Qing Dynasty, so Gao Jingzhong's sudden appearance would add chaos to the imperial court?

He reported victory, and he still made such a big commotion, inciting the soldiers and civilians in Nanjing City. How can the cabinet implement the national policy of uniting with the captives to suppress the bandits and seek peace with the Eastern captives?

Isn't this guy against the court?In the current atmosphere in the city, how can we talk about peace with the Qing court? I am afraid that if we make any concessions, we will be called a national traitor and nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

All of a sudden, the brains of several grand scholars felt a headache, Ma Shiying said with a straight face, "It's not worth it, you're fooling around!"

Ruan Dacheng's political sense is very keen, "Ma Ge Department, I think this matter is strange, Gao Jingzhong reported a victory, and to make such a big commotion in Nanjing, someone must be targeting us."

Hearing the words, Ma Shiying glanced at Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi who were sitting opposite, but then he denied his own thoughts. He and the Donglin Party were fighting openly and secretly, but they had a unified opinion on the negotiation and peace.

Wars require taxation, and the Donglin party members don't do it. Similarly, the Jiangbei warlords don't really want to fight with the Qing army, so both sides are supporters of the policy of uniting the captives and suppressing the bandits.

Seeing Ma Shiying glance at him, Qian Qianyi was afraid that Ma Shiying would misunderstand him, so he hurriedly said, "It's easy to find out. The attack on us must be the main combat faction. As soon as He Tengjiao came to Nanjing, he intended to persuade the cabinet to be tough on the Qing. Could it be him?" What the hell?"

Donglin's internal struggle is also a good player, Qian Qianyi grasped the key point at once.

Ruan Dacheng murmured: "He Tengjiao is involved in this matter, so he definitely can't escape, but he just came from Huguang, so he doesn't have much influence in Nanjing. If he can make such a big commotion, there must be someone to help!"

After hearing this, everyone in the hall became vigilant, and Qian Qianyi immediately understood, "This is the main combat faction, who wants to deal with the cabinet. Taking advantage of Gao Jingzhong's chance of winning the battle, they make a big fuss and want to overthrow the cabinet." Strategy. It's a pity that those scholars are too naive. They don't know that the military strength of our Ming Dynasty is far from that of the Eastern Captives. They thought that Gao Jingzhong won a small battle, and we could immediately go north and recover Shenjing, but they didn't think about it. Being defeated, the loss is far more than the sum now."

Ma Shiying said: "How do these warlords know these things? They are only acting on their own will. The court was so soft back then, why is it today. Now the north has been occupied by Donglu. Whether we negotiate peace or not, he is in Donglu's hands." Li, and after the peace talks, we can maintain at least half of the country and have time to prepare for war..."

For a while, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Qian Qianyi and others all expressed their opinions and reached a unified opinion. These people must not be allowed to shake the national policy of the imperial court. The only one who has reservations is Shi Kefa.

Previously, the Ming Dynasty had lost consecutive battles, and the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty could not see any hope of victory, so the voices against the peace talks were not fierce.

Now that the wind has reversed, negotiating peace is betraying the country, and the Shi Ge Department prefers reputation. At critical moments, like an old monk, they are unwilling to express their views.

His silence shook the hearts of the few bachelors who were originally fighting against each other~
