When Hou Xun came to Huai'an this time, he was ordered to supervise the troops, recruit troops from various towns to raise troops to help the king, and drove Jiannu out of the pass.

When he first received this job, Hou Xun was so scared that he quickly refused, saying that he did not know about military affairs and could not take on the major responsibilities, so he was unwilling to die.

Jiannu was fierce. Since the Chongzhen Dynasty, there were only two consequences for the generals to fight against Jiannu. They were either defeated or killed or captured by Jiannu, or killed by the emperor because of unfavorable combat.

Every day, every day, every day, no life can be achieved. Whoever takes on such a job or a hero? Anyway, Hou Xun doesn't want to go, so he finds reasons to refuse.

This made Chongzhen a little shaken, and at this moment, Zhou Yanru told Chongzhen that Hou Xun was kind to support Zuo Liangyu. Now that the towns are domineering and fearing the enemy like a tiger, they may not dare to raise an army to drive the enemy. Only Hou Xun can mobilize Zuo Liangyu, and no one else can do it.

When Chongzhen heard this, he made up his mind and immediately drove the ducks to the shelves, either to supervise the army and the enemy, or to go to the prison, forcing Hou Xun to go south to supervise the army.

Hou Xun knew that he was not an opponent of the Qing army and would die when he fought. If he did not fight, he would be investigated by the court in the future and would not be able to escape death.

As for the situation today, the ministers in the court have more or less seen clearly. Hou Xun and the Donglin Party have long analyzed the current situation, believing that the Ming Dynasty's internal and external troubles would probably lose its northern territory like "Jian Yan crossed the south".

When Hou Xun saw Zhou Yanru and Chongzhen, he forced him to death and a vicious plan arose in his heart.

If Zhou Yanru wants him to die, he will use a knife to kill someone and kill Zhou Yanru.

After Chongzhen ascended the throne, with the help of the Donglin Party, he defeated the eunuch party. However, soon, a conflict broke out between Chongzhen and Donglin.

The Donglin Party believed that it was a meritorious to defeat the eunuch party. After Wei Zhongxian fell, Chongzhen should give it back. It is natural that the Donglin Party members were appointed as the chief minister of the cabinet to control the government. Chongzhen could develop his own interests and hobbies and hand over the Ming Dynasty to the Donglin Party. It would be better not to worry about anything.

However, Chongzhen was an emperor who wanted to do things and had a strong desire to control himself. He hated his ministers to form cliques the most. When he found that something was wrong, he quickly used Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru to prevent Qian Qianyi from entering the cabinet and drove the Donglin Party leader back to Jiangnan and never talked about it, intending to suppress Donglin.

Over the past ten years of Chongzhen Dynasty, although the Donglin Party was dominant in the court, few Donglin Party members entered the cabinet, which made the relationship between Chongzhen and Donglin average and even bad.

Hou Xun and others were naturally not ignorant of the current situation. Donglin had long had letter exchanges, and they all believed that the Chongzhen court might choose to move the capital to Jiangnan and throw away the big burden of the north.

However, moving the capital to Jiangnan means that the imperial court and the emperor are going to come to Nanjing and directly enter Donglin's nest, which will inevitably affect Donglin's interests.

In the past, the emperor was far away, and Jiangnan was the Jiangnan of the Donglin Party. Now that the emperor moved the capital to Nanjing, he would inevitably strengthen his control over Jiangnan and further suppress Donglin. Jiangnan probably would not be Donglin's.

When the Eastern Jin Dynasty crossed south, the gentry from the north bullied the natives of Jiangdong to what it looked like.

Therefore, before Hou Xun left the capital, he began to contact Donglin Party leader Qian Qianyi to discuss the situation secretly, and quickly reached a consensus that Emperor Chongzhen, who was in charge of affairs and could not be allowed to come to Jiangnan.

The Donglin Party had given up and mastered the Chongzhen court, and was ready to choose a royal family that could be controlled. After falling into Beijing, it ascended the throne and became emperor in Nanjing.

In this way, the Donglin Party can completely control the Ming Dynasty regime, realize the ambitions of party members throughout the ages, turn the Ming Dynasty into the Ming Dynasty in Donglin, and make the Ming Dynasty a tool to safeguard their interests.

Since it was decided to establish a new court in the south, Hou Xun stopped after arriving in Huai'an, watching the Qing army occupy and loot Shandong, waiting for the Qing army to capture Beijing, kill Zhou Yanru, and destroy Chongzhen's court.

As soon as the Chongzhen court was destroyed, the Donglin Party immediately established the new emperor in Nanjing, so naturally no one held him responsible.

Zhou Yanru wanted him to die, so he watched the fire from the other side of the river and used Jiannu's sword to get rid of Zhou Yanru.

At this time, Hou Xun and Qian Qianyi discussed with Qian Qianyi, and Qian Qianyi left the Hou Mansion and returned to Jiangnan to arrange the situation. Hou Fangyu followed Qian Qianyi to the side.

Hou Xun came out of the Taoist gate and instructed: "Muzhai, the court is not entirely ours. After Muzhai returns, he must mobilize public opinion. Whoever dares to give up Beijing and declares that moving the capital is a surrender faction, a stolen country and seeks honor, a sinner whom thousands of people are referring to!"

Qian Qianyi boarded the carriage and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Ruogu!"

To mobilize public opinion, Qian Qianyi was full of confidence in the Donglin Party's ancestral craftsmanship. Seeing that Hou Xun was not talking too much, he immediately asked Hou Fangyu to scold him for not wandering around in the brothel after going to Nanjing, otherwise he would break his legs.

"Don't worry, Father! My son will work hard and no longer go to that fireworks place!" Hou Fangyu hurriedly promised that he would not visit the brothels, and he already had more exciting hobbies.

After seeing off Qian Qianyi and Hou Fangyu, Hou Xun returned to the study room. At this moment, the disciples came to report, "Master, General Huang Degong, please see him!"

When Hou Xun heard the words, he frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know what?"

"It was said to be asking about the issue of military service and military pay!" the disciple replied.

Hou Xun immediately said coldly: "Just say that I am not here, let him come again another day!"

The imperial edict of the imperial court to urge all towns to raise troops to support the king should have been delivered to the generals.

Hou Xun now wants to stand by and kill people with a knife, so he naturally doesn't want his subordinates to save Beijing.

Huang Degong was a powerful general, and he was quite loyal. He must have received an edict and prepared to raise an army to defend the king. However, Hou Xun was not able to directly dissuade him, so he could only deduct his money and food to stop him from sending troops.

After the disciple got the order, he immediately came to the door of the mansion, smiling at Huang Degong, who was walking with a horse whip and said, "General Huang, it's really a coincidence that my master is not in the mansion."

Huang Degong looked for Hou Xun several times, but he didn't see him before chasing him from the yamen.

Huang Degong had tens of thousands of troops in his town. Everyone in Jiangbei had to give him face. He couldn't see Hou Xun several times, which made Huang Degong a little angry.

"Stop doing this, Hou Xun is in the mansion." Huang Degong shouted angrily, and walked straight in, and the guard behind him followed him in.

The servants of the Marquis' Mansion could not stop a burly man like Huang Degong. They were shocked by the servants in the mansion and kept calling out, but no one dared to stop these military men.

Hou Xun was drinking tea in the study room when he suddenly heard a noise outside, and the door was suddenly pushed open. When he saw Huang Degong leading several subordinates in, he was so shocked that he sprinkled the tea.

Huang Degong said: "Mr. Hou, Your Majesty, ordered someone to raise an army to help the king, allocate Huizhou, and tax 150,000 taels of silver in Yangzhou, and transfer it to a certain place from the grain transportation yamen. Why didn't the silver be delivered yet!"

Seeing that Huang Degong was just asking for money, he did not take any further action and recovered his calmness, Hou Xu slapped the table, took out his official power, and scolded him: "Good you Huang Chuangzi, I have heard that there are censors who are arrogant and proud of your achievements and are arrogant. When I saw him today, it turned out that he actually came to the Supervisor to take action. Do you still have this supervisor in your eyes? Do you have any laws in the court?"

Seeing this, Huang Degong hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "The Supervisor is a humble position Meng Lang! But there is no way to be a humble position. Our department is short of food, so the soldiers can only drink porridge every day. I also asked the Supervisor to pay my department quickly so that our department can go north to serve the king."

Hou Xun just didn't want him to serve the king, and snorted coldly: "Today's matter, I won't be the case. As for the money, I don't know about this matter, and the court has no order to give it to this governor."

Huang Degong was afraid that civil officials would argue and brought all the imperial edicts, "This is Your Majesty's will! Supervisor, how could he lie to you in this matter?"

Hou Xun swelled his cheeks, and his face was dark, and he did not go to receive the imperial edict. He changed his words: "I believe General Huang's character. However, I have just released 200,000 taels of money to Henan. Recently, there is not much money in the warehouse. Why don't you give you 10,000 taels first? You go back first and wait until there is silver in the account, I will send it to you."

After saying that, Hou Xun wrote a note for Huang Degong, then stood up, and the butler next to him hurriedly said, "Send out the guest!"

Huang Degong had no choice but to come out with a note and walked to the door. He happened to meet Liu Liangzuo. There were several subordinates following him, holding a pair of large porcelain bottles and calligraphy and paintings in his hands. He was obviously here to give gifts.

Huang Degong looked down on Liu Liangzuo a little. The relationship between the two was not very harmonious. After saying hello, he passed by.

This was Huang Degong. He took the note and went to collect the salary. As a result, he only received 8,000 taels of 10,000 taels.

At this time, just as Huang Degong got it, Liu Liangzuo also came over, and his approval was 100,000 taels, but he was also deducted 20,000 taels.

Seeing this, Huang Degong couldn't help but become furious and gritted his teeth and said, "One day the Marquis of the surname falls into my hands, I must kill him."
