A group of old ministers in Jiangning, Nanjing promoted Zhu Yousong to the position of pseudo-emperor, among which the most were Xu Hongji and Ruan Dacheng.

The Duke of Wei, Xu Hongji, died of illness in the Duke's Mansion in the autumn of the New Year. The news of Ying Yi's defeat of the Tartars reached Yingtian. Yingtian's old minister hurriedly promoted Zhu Yousong to the throne, and later Xu Hongji died. Xu Hongji died, and his son Xu Wenjue succeeded him and was appointed as the prince Shaobao to inherit his ancestral property.

Ruan Dacheng was awarded the title of Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion and was appointed as the Minister of War. Then he entered the cabinet and became the prime minister.

Although Shi Kefa and others who opposed pushing Zhu Yousong to the throne were suppressed, they also got some soup. Shi Kefa was named Assistant Minister of War, Governor of Jianghuai, and Grand Secretary of the Dongge.

Shi Kefa and others were undoubtedly loyal to the Zhu family. However, Shi Kefa always believed that Zhu Yousong was unable to be created and did not have the demeanor of the emperor. Unfortunately, Shi Kefa's political skills were a few streets worse than Ruan Dacheng and others.

Even many generals in the military supported Shi Kefa, and Shi Kefa could not defeat Ruan Dacheng.

In the end, I almost got some soup, probably because of the support of the army. Otherwise, I would have beaten Shi Kefa to the end.

After Zhu Yousong ascended the throne, he had a struggle openly and secretly. By the time this year, the dust was settled. The political factions gradually divided into three, and the group of civil officials led by Ruan Dacheng was the upper hand, and the opposite was civil and military officials led by Shi Kefa, while Xu Wenjue and other nobles were intervened in the middle.

As for the Donglin Party that called the wind and rain in the early years, most of them were cleansed by Ruan Dacheng. However, Shi Kefa and others were not pure Donglin Party members.

Ruan Dacheng's faction can be regarded as a continuation of the eunuch party. In his early years, Ruan Dacheng's vassal Wei Zhongxian was suppressed and framed by the Donglin Party members. Now he has avenged his revenge.

Yingtian's army was probably three points. Zheng Zhilong's Fujian Navy was one point; headed by Shi Kefa, who escaped his life in the Battle of Fengyang and slightly recovered some Yuanqi in Jiangnan. The last point was one point; the governor's office of the Duke of Wei, Liu Kongzhao, Zhao Zhilong and other noble soldiers.

The number of nobles is the largest, about 50,000.

The entire small court of pseudo-emperor in Jiangnan had a total force of more than 100,000. Except for Zheng Zhilong's naval army, more than 80,000 others gathered on the short dozens of miles of front centered on Nanjing Jiangning.

Great victory pass.

Shi Kefa only slept for half a night, and then got up to patrol the city defense at the third hour. Standing on the head of Dasheng Pass, he looked at the dark river in the distance, listened to the faint sound of waves in his ears, felt the cool river breeze blowing by his face, and felt the heavy heart in his heart.

Jiangbei has a great rebel force and has occupied most of the rivers and mountains. With its ability to bewitch people, few people remember Hongwu and Ming Dynasty. A few days ago, the people with large shares of Jiangnan led their families to cross the river north. If it weren't for the timely blockade of the blockade, I'm afraid that this prosperous Jiangnan would be gone soon.

The rebels stationed troops on the other side, staring at them covetously. They could not say that they would cross the river to attack. Under such circumstances, Jiangning City was still intrigue and fucking, which made Shi Kefa feel extremely uncomfortable.

He took the initiative to leave Jiangning and came to this Dasheng Pass, probably without seeing or being upset.

Although Shi Kefa was pedantic, he was not without wisdom. He could not feel the potential undercurrents in Jiangnan. The building was about to fall, like a big stone pressing on his heart, and he could not breathe for a moment.

But he can do nothing.

He knew that on this Jiangnan land, more than half of the officials, both civil and military, were shaken. I don’t know how many people secretly contacted Jiangbei.

But he knew even more that this was helpless.

Looking back at the beginning, on the eve of the decisive battle between Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu, countless civil and military officials under his command wrote to Yuan Shao and secretly surrendered. With Cao Mengde's skills, he could only ignore it. Because he knew that once he saw it, he would collapse if he took a little action.

"Only imitate Cao Gong, win Guandu, and you can get rid of it if you turn around." Shi Kefa sighed secretly.

I received a message before that the other side of the shore was brightly lit and clamored. Shi Kefa couldn't sleep. Fortunately, time passed and there was no movement. Besides, Zheng Zhilong, the Fujian Navy inspected the river, probably nothing serious. Perhaps it was just a bluff on the other side.

But no matter how careless it is, the more careful it is. Shi Kefa knows that the rebels are powerful. When he was in Fengyang City, he lost a great loss like a tyrant, and Shi Kefa kept it in his mind all the time.

He knew very well that the traitors on the other side would be stopped if they were not in the river. Once they crossed the river, the general situation would be gone.

With just the few soldiers under his command, the old soldiers in Nanjing City are determined to be unable to resist the thief's troops on land.

"Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong, otherwise..."

Time passed quietly, and the hour of Mao was coming, and we were watching dawn. Shi Kefa stood at the city wall for more than an hour, and his hands were already cold. Zanhua was by his side and said, "Dao, dawn is coming, and the pavilion has been standing at the city wall for a long time. Let's go back and rest for a while?"

Shi Kefa shook his head: "I can't feel at ease before dawn."

Praise the painting silently.

At this time, there were horse hooves, tearing open the quiet night.

Then I heard the roar from the city: "Shige Division! Shige Division!"

Shi Kefa was stunned, and his heart jumped for no reason. He quickly raised the torch and shone under the city. He saw a cavalry wandering anxiously and said, "Who is it?!"

Reply: "The Shige Department, the villain is the confidant of Governor Zheng, Fujian. The Department of Governor-General, please send troops quickly to rescue Longtan!"

Shi Kefa's heart tightened and shouted, "What happened in Longtan?!"

Then he said, "Come, pull him up!"

Then a hanging basket hung down and pulled the person up. Shi Kefa recognized the person in the fire. Every time he met Zheng Zhilong, this person was with Zheng Zhilong, and he was undoubtedly his confidant.

No wonder he called him "Shigemen" directly under the city, but he also recognized Shi Kefa.

The man suddenly jumped out of the spider plant, bowed down with a thud, and said anxiously: "Peace Department, please send troops quickly to save my governor!"

Shi Kefa helped him up, and when he saw that he was embarrassed, he quickly said with a gentle voice: "Don't worry, tell me first, what's wrong with Longtan?"

The man took a breath and said, "Gei, the thief on the other side has crossed the river! At the time of Yin, the thiefs broke out in water and land, and attacked Longtan. Fortunately, my governor saw the opportunity early, and Longtan Water Village was easy to defend and difficult to attack, otherwise the Longtan had been broken. The thief was strong and the artillery fire was fierce, which was difficult to resist. My governor knew that it would not last long. When he came, he said to the villain: Jiangning was only the Shige tribe, and ordered the villain to ask for help from the Shige tribe!"

When Shi Kefa heard this, his face suddenly changed!

"The traitor crosses the river?!"

Shi Kefa shouted: "How is this possible?! When will the thief cross the river? Governor Zheng didn't even know it?"
