Chapter 182 The Age of Awakening

"One, two, throw it!"

Yang Feng stood on the shore, shouting horns to command the soldiers.

The latter carried wooden shelves, with the officials and men who were punished, and then threw these wooden shelves into the Yangtze River with force as Yang Feng shouted...

"This generation claims to be a clear stream, and should give it to the turbid stream!"

Yang Feng shouted.

It was like those legendary villains possessed.

Because they are tied to wooden shelves, they will not sink in a short time. As the river flows, they will soon be brought into the middle of the river, and then continue to go with the flow there. They are seen by the gentry downstream like the sign showing the king of Jie and Zhou, and inspired them to draw a clear line with Wanli.

As for these people themselves, there is no need to continue to execute the execution. Even if they are not dead, they will only breathe a sigh of relief.

Those butchers are not professionals after all.

The technique is relatively rough.

Not professional!

Just as he was throwing it into the Yangtze River, the warship Chen Jian was riding on the river turned around and began to flow eastward to Yangzhou.

Some of the other warships turned around and followed, and some stayed there and did not leave.

The navy soldiers had already seen relatives and friends on the shore. The latter obviously did not look like they were in danger. In fact, they were very happy. Many of them were throwing the wooden shelves. Although these navy soldiers still couldn't figure out the situation, they obviously didn't need to fight anymore at this time.

In the end, only half of the warships followed Chen Jian.

And with their departure, the Nanjing Incident officially ended.

but……

The real war begins.

On the evening of that day, Chen Jian, who was going downstream, arrived at Jingkou and learned about the tragedy of Nanjing's massacre of ministers. He had already formed the Zhenjiang Volunteer Team and sent to the front line of Huai'an. He summoned the gentry of each county without hesitation and announced the formation of a second volunteer team to serve the king.

Of course, it is the king of Qin Hongguang.

On the same night, Deng Zilong, who learned that Wanli went south, led his subordinates to counterattack Yangzhou, but was bribed by the Hui merchants in Yangzhou for 300,000 taels of silver. The latter turned against him and attacked Deng Zilong's central army at the last minute, and Deng Zilong had to flee with his personal soldiers. Then the volunteers in Huai'an City attacked Wang Hongqi, who was also prepared for any reason. The latter was killed in a melee. He was a member of Zhangzhou Wei, and his ancestors were also a general of Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, the civil strife in the Huaidong army also allowed Mao Guoqi to take the opportunity to break through the sky. Then the Qingliu Pass defenders abandoned the guards. The 10,000 volunteers led by the Songjiang Volunteer Team boarded the ship in Chuzhou and fled east along the Chu River at night.

The desperate gentry of Chuzhou organized a volunteer team to defend Chuzhou.

But it was useless after all, and Zhu Wenda broke through Chuzhou and met with Mao Guoqi Department.

But this is already five days later.

Nanjing.

The Great Hall that had been barely repaired.

This is equivalent to the location of the Cining Palace in the capital. Because Zhu Yuanzhang did not need to build the empress dowager when he was emperor, this is the Great Shan Hall, the place where Zhu Yuanzhang used to study. Later, Yongle moved the capital, and this place has not changed. Although it has been destroyed in recent years, it is small in size and can be relocated after rushing to repair it.

Wanli now uses the current hall here, as for him and the imperial concubine living behind the Nine Five Flying Dragon Hall.

"Look, look, they all jumped out, they were all traitors!"

Yang Feng said angrily with a stack of revenge.

This is a report sent back by the new army sent to nearby places to receive power and arrest the pseudo-officials.

These 1,000-level teams were resisted by gentry from all over the country without exception. The gentry of Taiping Prefecture continued to be headed by the former magistrate of Taiping Prefecture. Not only did they not allow the new army to enter the city, they instead organized volunteers to attack the new army. The new army that failed to siege retreated to Ma'anshan, and then went to Hezhou, and was also defeated by the gentry volunteers and retreated to the south bank.

The same acceptance of Zhenjiang was also blocked by the Hongguang Army.

So in these five days, His Majesty the Emperor of Nanjing only gained Jurong, Lishui, Liuhe, Jiangpu, Chuzhou in Jiangbei, and even Quanjiao was not taken down. The gentry there defended the Taiping Prefecture and Hezhou Volunteers who fled south from Qingliu Pass in the county.

Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor is back.

But his gentry had completely abandoned him. In the past few days, all over the world have vowed to serve the king, and those who are diligent are the king Hongguang.

In particular, many dead bodies also floated downstream.

Gao Panlong and Gu Xiancheng were not found, and they probably had really fed the fish, but Gu Yuncheng's corpse was caught in Zhenjiang. Although it was bitten by the fish, people who were familiar with him could still recognize it. Then several corpses were caught one after another. They were being proved by the king of Jie and Zhou, and were sent to their hometown in a grand ceremony.

Gu Yunzhen, who arrived in Changzhou, ignited the anger of officials and gentry.

In just five days, except for Chuzhou and Fengyang, which have been taken down, all other prefectures in Nanzhili have clearly abandoned Wanli.

Including Luzhou Prefecture.

The generals left by Wu Weizhong all turned against each other after being bribed by the gentry.

Even Zhu Wenda's subordinates had mutinies, and some generals directly led their troops to defect, so although he took Chuzhou these days, he did not dare to move again.

He is not even insured.

After all, he and Wu Weizhong's family are in Yiwu.

They were willing to fight for Wanli before, just because of their loyalty to the emperor, but they were loyal to the Wanli in the past. Moreover, Wanli was quite normal in Fengyang, and there was no sign of changing the style. They were indeed loyal ministers, but they were also traditional ministers. They were actually very surprised by the fact that one hundred and eight people were Lingchi, not to mention that their families were still in the hands of the gentry.

In short, Zhu Wenda remained silent, and even the bravest Mao Guoqi who had rushed forward had begun to stop. His family was far away in Wenzhou.

In short, His Majesty the Emperor vaguely smelled of betrayal of his relatives.

Although he had entered Nanjing and controlled the capital, he was actually more like a lonely man, and this was all caused by Yang Feng Lingchi...

"Kaiyuan Bo, I'm a little curious. What is your purpose in doing this?"

Li Zhi said with a smile.

He is still a white person who has no official position.

In fact, this old man not only has been an official, but also has been an official for many years.

He was the highest-ranking prefect, and his origin was very high. Even though this mansion was from Yunnan, it is said that his family was very poor as an official, and even his daughter could starve to death. He actually gave up his official position when he was a prefect. He was like many philosophers, and he was full of behaviors that normal people could not understand throughout his life. In short, he was very rebellious, and he became more and more rebellious as he was older. When he was a lecture, he openly accepted female disciples, claiming that a good woman could establish a family, why bother men? But this rebellious thinker had many high-ranking disciples.

For example, Wang Keshou, the governor of Ji Liao in the late Wanli period.

Now he is very popular with Wanli, and his current thoughts are also very chaotic, because of the betrayal of the nobles, he has also begun to have a tendency to rebel.

After all, the imperial education he received before had collapsed.

The things that Confucian disciples instilled in him have been proved by the facts of the Lords and all of them were used to deceive him.

Then the rebellious Li Zhi became handsome.

His Majesty the Emperor was fantasizing that he was Zhu Di, and that he was his Yao Guangxiao.

"What is the purpose? Shouldn't these rebels be sluggish?"

Yang Feng said purely.

"Kaiyuan Bo, I am called a crazy person, but I am just a little crazy and not stupid. Although I dislike those intrigues, I have been an official for decades. Since we have experienced life and death together, I will really ask Kaiyuan Bo, you are now called a living Dong Zhuo. I wonder if Kaiyuan Bo really wants to do it for Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao?

You must not feel like Iho."

Li Zhi said.

“Is it important for who is like?”

Yang Feng asked back.

Then he stood up and looked outside.

"Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and Yi Huo are all just to the emperor. You think you are crazy, but I think you are not crazy at all. You still can't get out of the cage of the king and the minister.

But I would like to ask, why should there be a monarch or a minister?

If you are limited to the cage of the monarch and ministers, then you can say that I am Dong Zhuo. I think I am not much worse than Dong Zhuo. You can also say that I am Cao Cao. Cao Cao is actually not as cruel as me. But if you jump out of the cage of the monarch and ministers, I am neither Dong Zhuo nor Cao Cao, I am me. I am indeed an official of Your Majesty, but I don’t think he is my master. I am both equal. If I am loyal to anything, then I am only loyal to this land.

Not even the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was just the name given to her by the Emperor of Zhu. The name given to her by the Emperor of Liu was the Han Dynasty, the name given to her by the Emperor of Li was the Tang Dynasty, and the name given to her by the Emperor of Zhu was the Ming Dynasty.

But what is she?

She is this land.

I am not loyal to Your Majesty, I am not loyal to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I am not loyal to anyone, because everyone is equal, and no one is qualified to ask others to be loyal to him. All I am loyal to is this land. If she has a name, then you can think I am loyal to China.

Then, if you jump out of the cage of the monarch, ministers, and ministers, and the identity of the Emperor of the Zhu family, and the scope of the Zhu family dynasty, you will evaluate what I did.

Is there anything wrong with me?

The corrupt system imprisons the people on this land. I smash it. Corrupt officials and officials harm the people on this land. I slander the local tyrants and evil gentry, fish and meat. I scout their houses. The barbarians invade this land. I cut off their heads to be fertilizer. Everything I did was right. Standing under the conventional ideological system of the monarch and ministers of the Confucian king, the ministers, you can say that I am Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, but after jumping out of this cage, I am just doing what the Chinese people should do.

I am clearing out all the dirt on this land and returning her to clarify that the people on this land can live a rich and dignified life, rather than being slaves to anyone."

Yang Feng said.
