Chapter 468

In Nanjing City, in the imperial palace, Zhu Cihong summoned people from southern Henan in the main hall.

Li Hu knelt in the middle of the hall with some trepidation, and heard Zhu Cihong say admiringly: "I am very pleased that Gao Qing defeated the Eastern Prisoner and captured Kong Youde this time. I heard that Gao Qing sent you to Nanjing. To demand military pay, right?"

Zhu Cihong and his trusted ministers carefully analyzed Gao Yihuan, and felt that Gao Yihuan was still worth wooing.

Judging from Gao Yihuan's actions, no matter whether he is a Zhu Quanzhong-like figure or not, at least he is resisting the Qing Dynasty at this time.

After Li Zicheng's demise, the strategy of the Nanjing court to unite with the captives and suppress the bandits has been shaken.

Although there are still quite a few people in the main peace faction in the DPRK, some people have gradually realized that they must guard against the Eastern captives.

Under such circumstances, as long as Gao Yihuan was around, there would be no worries in Xiangfan in the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Cihong felt that Gao Yihuan could be used, and even hoped to influence him and let him be loyal to him.

Therefore, today he specially summoned Li Hu, the general of the Wei Wu army who came to Nanjing to offer prisoners, to appease Gao Yihuan's troops.

Under Gao Yihuan's order, Li Hu escorted Kong Youde to Nanjing, and at the same time saw if he could get something back.

Although Li Hu has seen a lot of worlds with Gao Yihuan, he has fought with tens of thousands of Tartars, and he is not afraid of death on the battlefield, but for some reason, Zhu Cihong sitting in the hall is only a 17-year-old boy, but he really insists on not Even if he dared to look up, he couldn't speak smoothly, and his heart panicked.

Hearing Zhu Ciniang's words, Li Hu's mind went blank, and when the eunuch next to him reminded him, he remembered his second uncle's confession, and kowtowed quickly: "This~ long live, the commander said to serve long live, hardships and difficulties are nothing at all, brothers I can only drink porridge every day, wear a tattered battle jacket, and I have to beat the Tartars away and restore the country of Ming Dynasty."

After all, Zhu Cihong was too young, and when he heard this, his heart was shocked, "No matter how hard it is, the soldiers, I will allocate 20 yuan in silver and 20 shi in grain to reward the soldiers."

The Nanjing imperial court was not rich, but in Zuoliangyu Town, except for the taxes near Wuchang that belonged to Zuozhen, the imperial court had to supply 40 taels of silver and 20 shi of grain every year.

Zuo Liangyu didn't do anything, just took so much money and food, Gao Jingzhong defended against the Eastern captives, captured Kong Youde, and only gave this little, which made Zhu Cihong a little embarrassed.

Li Hu hurriedly thanked him, Zhu Cihong said a few more words, then quietly folded the holed cuff into the sleeve, and waved him away.

After all, Li Hu met the emperor for the first time, and he was very nervous. He didn't perform very well, and he didn't speak neatly. After he left the hall, he regretted that he didn't ask the emperor for more things.

20 taels, not even a fraction of the cost of this war, can't compensate for the losses of Wei Wujun's army at all, but 20 shi of grain is still useful.

In the next few days, Li Hu wandered around the city with the accompanying soldiers of the Wei Wu army.

The arrogant soldiers from southern Henan, wearing bulky padded jackets, exude a strong rustic atmosphere and arrogance all over their bodies. They eat restaurants in Nanjing and sleep with prostitutes in secret doors, waiting for rewards Implemented, while wandering around in Nanjing city.

Li Hu waited for a few days, but there was no news about the reward from the emperor Xu Luo, so several people went to Wang Shicong, and Wang Shicong went to He Tengjiao to ask when the money and food allocated to Gao Yihuan would be distributed.

In the end, they found the Ministry of War, but Ruan Dacheng said that the decree had been received, but there was no paperwork for the Ministry of War, and the only way to ask for money and food was to go to the Ministry of Households, so the ball was kicked to the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Households said that this year’s military salary had already been allocated to the Ministry of War. Let him go to the Ministry of War again.

Li Hu thought it was too little at first, but looking at his posture, it was difficult to get even this point.

The administrative efficiency of the Wei Wu Army was extremely high. Li Hu had never encountered such a gossip. He had met the emperor and thought the court was not bad, but now he has no good feelings for him.

When the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households were playing ball, a major event ushered in the city of Nanjing. The emperor personally ordered Kong Youde to be sentenced to death.

In the Nanjing Sky Prison, a large group of soldiers poured into the cell. A group of Ming soldiers who were once regarded as chickens and dogs by Kong Youde entered the cell with great power.

Ever since he was captured by Gao Yihuan, Kong Youde knew that he would have this day, so he was already prepared to die.

"Hmph, are you finally going to kill me?" Kong Youde sat in the dark prison cell with heavy shackles on him, sneered, "I don't want to live anymore, so cut it quickly and don't waste everyone's time." .”

An official who came to detain the person smiled and said: "I'm sorry, this time I really can't be quick. His Majesty personally ordered the plate punishment, and invited the executioner Lao Dao Liu who escaped from Beijing. It may take two or three days. .”

Hearing the words, Kong Youde's expression changed immediately, and he was about to bite his tongue immediately. The guards in Jin Yi had been prepared for a long time, and rushed forward, slamming the knife handle violently, and in a short while, all their teeth were smashed out.

In Qian Qianyi's mansion, Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, sat slumped on the bed. He was covered with a quilt, and there was crystal clear saliva at the corner of his mouth.

During the first lunar month, the weather in Nanjing was still cold, Qian Qianyi suddenly heard the news that Kong Youde had been captured, and the hope of peace negotiation became even more bleak, and seeing his disciples, he was full of praise for Gao Jingzhong. Come on, I was so angry that I had a stroke.

As soon as Qian Qianyi fell, the people of the main peace faction immediately lost their minds. Qian Qianyi originally unified the opinions within the Donglin Party, but now the opinions are also split.

Strictly speaking, the Donglin Party is not a political party in the true sense. They are not a fixed group with no strict organization and no clear-cut political opinions. Everyone in the party has a different situation.

There are people like Qian Qianyi, as well as Xie Xuelong, Gu Xichou, Sun Chengzong, Li Banghua, Li Ruoxing, and Song Shixiang, who generously went to the national crisis. The structure is very complicated and cannot be simply defined.

Qian Qianyi had a stroke, and once Donglin's mainstay fell, the Donglin Party became a little unstable, and they quarreled for war or peace.

Several important members of the Donglin Party came to visit Qian Qianyi. Seeing that Qian Qianyi would not recover for a while, they could only shake their heads and leave.

At this moment, Zheng Sen ran in in a hurry and saw a beautiful woman in her early twenties who was taking care of Qian Qianyi, his eyes lit up immediately, he walked over to look at Qian Qianyi on the bed, and then stared at the beautiful woman People, "Master, the teacher is not good enough, it's all my fault, I didn't expect the teacher to be so excited!"

On the bed, Qian Qianyi's mouth was drooling, his throat was muttering, his body was trembling constantly, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

Liu Rushi sighed, and said comfortingly: "The imperial doctor said that there is no serious problem, but it is uncertain whether it will recover. Even if it is cured, there may be sequelae."

Zheng Sen became anxious immediately, "Teacher, don't worry, there are students here, we must hire the best doctor, no matter how much money it costs, the teacher must be cured."

Liu Rushi nodded slightly, "It's fine if Damu has the heart. By the way, you came here today, but what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Zheng Sen beamed with joy, "Master, don't you know that the imperial court is going to punish the national traitor Kong Youde with a plate today? It's really gratifying! The Korean Duke sent Kong Youde to Nanjing, which greatly boosted morale. A role model for my generation, I have decided to join the army and serve the country."

Liu Rushi heard the words, showing a heroic spirit on his face, and said with a smile: "The world is in chaos today, the barbarians are invading south, and the Korean government forces defeated the barbarians. If you defend one side, you can be called a hero. You have to invest in the army, and the teacher supports you!"

Zheng Sen was overjoyed, and Qian Qianyi, who was lying on the bed, muttered even more fiercely in his throat~
