Chapter 444

After the discussion among several senior scholars in the cabinet, except for Shi Kefa who was a little shaken and unwilling to express his position, the others barely reached a consensus that no one should let anyone obstruct the current national policy.

Immediately, everyone summoned their confidants to discuss and prepare for a counterattack. Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng were mainly responsible for mobilizing troops to control the city gates and docks, while Qian Qianyi organized Donglin party members to regain control of public opinion.

It is rare for Ma Ruan and Donglin to join forces. Their method is very simple, that is, people who don’t offer prisoners will enter the city, so that the people and scholars will doubt the so-called great victory, and then the Donglin party members will state the failure of the diplomatic strategy of the Ming Dynasty. , learned from Chen Xinjia's lesson, and pointed out that Donglu is powerful, so that the government and the public should not be dazzled by a small victory.

To govern such a large country, we still have to be governed by mature people, and we should persuade those young scholars not to be impulsive.

These people are impulsive, and after a long time, they will still sing and dance, and the matter will pass soon.

After the discussion was completed, everyone went back and ordered others to do it, and sitting as the boss, they only needed to strategize.

Regarding this incident, Neige still has the confidence to suppress it. After all, Ma Ruan has soldiers and Donglin controls public opinion, and they are not afraid of challenges at all.

At noon the next day, on the east bank of the Qinhuai River, inside the Dinghuai Gate in the west of Nanjing City, many people gathered to see the excitement, ready to see the procession of presenting prisoners with their own eyes.

In the crowd, many scholars were also caught in the crowd. When they arrived at Dinghuai Gate, the soldiers guarding the gate did not let the crowd leave the city.

At this moment, some people in the crowd stopped doing it, and several scholars from the Imperial College even started arguing with the soldiers guarding the gate.

At noon today, the prisoner-offering team was going to enter the city through Dinghuai Gate. It was already well known in the city that all classes in Nanjing were ready to watch the excitement. If he refused to leave the city, he stabbed the hornet's nest.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven in Nanjing City, unlike other places, the people in the city will naturally not be afraid of Qiu Ba, who is guarding the city. A few scholars rely on their fame, and they don't pay attention to a group of Qiu Ba, asking why they don't want people to leave the city.

This is a pain for the soldiers guarding the gate. They are not a secret service organization like the Jinyiwei, so naturally they dare not do anything to these Wenqu stars.

At this time, in Wenyuan Pavilion, several academicians were handling official business for a while, Qian Qianyi raised his head, "Ma Ge Department, He Ge Department is coming again today, will something happen?"

Ma Shiying is quite confident, "Don't worry, Mr. Mu Zhai. I have ordered you down yesterday that no one will be allowed to go out in Nanjing and no one will be allowed to cross the river in Jiangbei. There will be no problem! The scholars rebelled. No big storms~"

As soon as Ma Shiying finished speaking, an official came in hastily, "Ma Ge Department, several elders, something is wrong, the supervisor of the Imperial College took the lead to break through the barriers, and led the people out of Dinghuai Gate."

Qian Qianyi had just taken a sip of tea and almost choked to death. He put down the teacup hastily and coughed.

"It's unreasonable. They have nothing to do with the law. When people come, the pavilion wants to send troops to take them away." Ma Shiying was furious.

"No, the inmates are also devoted to the country. How can they be locked up and sent to prison on the spur of the moment? It's really insulting." Shi Kefa stopped him.

Ruan Dacheng, Qian Qianyi and others couldn't help feeling depressed, where are you from?

"Ma Ge Department, scholars and common people have left the city, what should we do now?" Qian Qianyi frowned.

"Don't panic, I'll send people across the river according to the scriptures, and those who offer captives can't come." Ma Shiying waved his hand and shouted angrily: "Go, brother Ji, you go to Yingtian Mansion to gather people, everyone follow me to take a look .”

The superintendents of Guozijian dared to attack the city gate and brought so many common people and scholars out of the city, which could easily form a mass incident.

If there were riots in Nanjing, or if people died, the situation would be bad, and it would bring huge pressure to the cabinet.

In the past, everyone in the faction used to talk about each other, but this time the main combat faction actually resorted to such low-handed tricks to incite scholars, which really made Ma Shiying feel angry.

After Ma Shiying finished speaking, he got up and went out. Seeing that Ma Ge's troops were calm and calm, everyone followed Ma Shiying to Dinghuai Gate.

Immediately a group of people came out of Wenyuan Pavilion, called the guards and walked forward. Before they reached Dinghuai Gate, they heard a buzzing noise from the west city, which made Ma Shiying and Qian Qianyi frown slightly.

The crowd went out of the Dinghuai Gate along the street, and suddenly saw a group of dark figures on the east bank of the Qinhuai River, densely packed, probably tens of thousands of people, cheering and howling, more lively than New Year's Eve, they couldn't help being stunned.

To say that being an official is usually majestic, under the official-based system, officials have a natural sense of superiority in front of the common people, and they are always superior, so they often ignore the common people for granted.

Seeing the huge crowd of people in front of him, majestic as Ma Gebu, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and a sense of terror rose in his heart for no reason.

At this time, Ma Shiying's heart sank, knowing that something was wrong, but as the chief assistant, he must maintain his majesty and not show cowardice, so he bravely walked forward, and at this moment hundreds of people were coming towards him, and two groups of people were in the middle of the road meet.

The person who came was none other than He Tengjiao. He didn't wait for Ma Shiying and his party to speak, and he spoke first, "It's really admirable for you to take the time to come here!"

"What do you mean?" Ma Shiying was a little dizzy, not understanding what He Tengjiao meant.

He Tengjiao said: "Grand Han Han defeated the Eastern captives in Henan and beheaded the shells of the Eastern captives. As the chief assistant, the Ma Ge Department couldn't help but come to welcome the team offering captives. Naturally, they also supported the resistance to the Qing Dynasty, not the rumored betrayal of the country and glory. , so it is respectable!"

Wang Shicong also said: "Ma Ge Department's heart is on the war ahead, it is really a stone pillar of the dynasty!"

Ma Shiying controls most of the soldiers and horses in Jiangbei. If he doesn't nod his head, the soldiers and horses will not move.

Hundreds of scholars from the Guozijian became excited, raising their arms and shouting, "The Ma Ge Department is wise! The Ma Ge Department is the main battle!"

Ma Shiying's cheeks flushed for a while, more and more scholars came up from all around, hundreds of pairs of eager eyes stared at him.

Ma Shiying knew that if he didn't nod his head and opposed the Qing Dynasty, his reputation would be ruined, and he might be beaten by the crowd, so he could only suppress his anger.

Just at this time, there was a commotion in the direction of the pier, and a ship was approaching the shore, the plank of the ship was on the pier, a group of soldiers in black armor escorted more than a dozen Tartars off the boat, and some people brought all kinds of seized The flags and banners of the Tartars, and the crowd watching by the pier suddenly burst into cheers, and the atmosphere reached a climax in an instant.

The cabinet ministers were slightly stunned, didn't they mean to send someone to stop the offerer?For a moment, several people couldn't help looking at Ma Shiying. Ma Shiying was also slightly surprised. He took a closer look and saw a young official in the prisoner offering team. He suddenly understood that the emperor might also be involved.

Ma Shiying's expression changed, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Donglu has taken over my capital and taken my territory. I, Ma Shiying, naturally hate him to the bone, and I want to fight Donglu to the end."

Shi Kefa also praised: "Well, the morale of the people is available!"

Qian Qianyi, who was at the side, saw them changing their minds suddenly, his face was stunned, and his heart was shocked and angry. Who are these people~
