Chapter 487 Dorgon's Invitation

Fang Fengnian was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he was these left soldiers, but there was no way.

As the saying goes, "Scholars can't explain it clearly when they meet soldiers." When they meet these unreasonable people, Fang Fengnian can only go to Zuo Liangyu to reason.

"Master, think of a solution! Our daughter is still inside!" a young woman cried.

Fang Feng was getting old and almost vomited blood after hearing this. He knew that he had no choice but to take these soldiers, so he quickly got up and said to the butler: "Hurry up! Come with me!"

He couldn't help but be in a hurry. As soon as it darkened, his daughter was afraid that she would not be able to return her to the end.

At this moment, Fang Fengnian asked his family to go to another house first, so he hurried to find Shi Kefa, hoping that he would come forward to deal with the matter.

At this time, he came to Shi Kefa's mansion and was immediately shocked, "Tai Chong, are you?"

Huang Zongxi was beaten to the point of purple with one eye, and his brocade robe was covered with mud, so he was obviously beaten.

Fang Fengnian was surprised to find that the people who had just dispersed had gathered together again, and they were obviously robbed.

Both of them were robbed of people in the world. The eldest brother did not talk about the second brother. Everyone was responsible for entering the city. When everyone met, they sighed before they could speak. They wanted to speak but stopped, and they wanted to cry without tears.

At this time, everyone found Shi Kefa. He was a magnanimous official, and his residence was not as good as that of ordinary wealthy families in the city. No one in the left army generals liked him, so he was not robbed.

When Shi Kefa heard about the experiences of everyone, he couldn't help but be confused and had no solution.

If he is talking about the Tao and talking about everyone's moral cultivation, he can talk freely and be very knowledgeable, but when faced with such specific problems, Shi Kefa has no choice.

"Shigemen, you put the people in, you can't ignore them!"

Many gentry completely forgot that they were instigating Shi Kefa to open the city, and they were all angry and asked Shi Kefa to find a way.

"This~" In the voices of everyone, Shi Kefa said in a deep voice: "Okay, then I'll take you to see Marquis Ningnan!"

Everyone surrounded Shi Kefa and went to find Zuo Liangyu. At this moment, a sound of horse hooves came from the front, and Xu Yong led a team of left soldiers over.

Everyone was startled to see this and almost scattered.

"Everyone is here, that's great. My boss is welcome, come with me!" Xu Yong held the horse's reins and smiled.

The gentry was stunned when they heard the words. The left army came to ask for it, but they all hesitated again.

...

The gentry and wealthy families in Nanjing completely underestimated the lack of materials in the Zuo Army.

Since Zuo Liangyu let Zhang Xianzhong go, he began to feel frightened and worried that the court would blame him.

In order not to be questioned by the court and after understanding Chongzhen's thoughts, Zuo Liangyu embarked on the road of no return to expand her troops.

He knew very well that as long as there were enough troops, the court would not dare to touch him, so that he could be safe.

Therefore, every time he makes a mistake and suffers a defeat, he will expand his troops. When the troops are too much, he will indulge his soldiers to loot.

Looting will add new culprits. In order to suppress the shock, Zuo Liangyu could only expand his troops and finally form a vicious cycle.

So in the last few years of the Chongzhen Dynasty, his men expanded like snowballs, reaching a terrifying 800,000.

It can be said that in the early days of Chongzhen's demise, his men and women on paper were almost approaching Li Baiwan.

However, Li Zicheng was a thief and could kill the vassal kings and steal the big people without any scruples.

After all, Zuo Liangyu was an official army. He knew that the court had a bottom line. He could not move the vassal kings and officials could not move them. The channels for obtaining materials were limited.

Therefore, although Zuo Town has a lot of people, it does not get much money, food and supplies, and it actually lives worse than Li Zicheng, so its combat power is naturally much worse.

Zuo Liangyu was afraid of being liquidated by the court and continued to expand his troops, but he could not really let go. He attacked the ruling class like Li Zicheng, so he could only slaughter the land of the people and the small landlords.

The left army had more than 800,000 people, and how could the people bear it?

In the first two years, Zuozhen could barely support the people by plundering the people, but as the people near Wuchang fled, eating in Zuozhen became a problem.

Therefore, Zuo Liangyu borrowed grain from He Tengjiao last year, but he couldn't borrow grain, so he captured Changsha in one fell swoop.

Although Zuo Town captured Changsha and captured quite generously, Zuo Town had too many people. On average, they still couldn't get enough. Many soldiers were even so poor that they didn't have a pair of shoes.

Now, Zuozhen, which is extremely scarce, can enter the rich Nanjing city, how can it bear it?

There was an imperial court in the past that could barely restrain him. Zuozhen only dared to attack ordinary people and landlords without background. Now, without the constraints of the imperial court, can't show off his skills?

For a time, the soldiers of Zuozhen robbed the people in the city, while the generals of Zuozhen robbed the big households, making the gentry in the city regretted their worries.

Fang Fengnian and others were occupied by the house, so they found Shi Kefa and went to find Zuo Liangyu, hoping that Zuo Liangyu could restrain his subordinates and return their property.

Just so happened that Zuo Liangyu was looking for them, so everyone was taken to the mansion of Duke Liang by Xu Yong.

At this time, when everyone came in in the lobby, they found Zuo Liangyu with a dark face and sitting in the middle hall, looking even more unhappy than them.

This made many angry gentry dared not speak for a while, so they could only look at Shi Kefa for help.

Seeing this, Shi Kefa bowed and said, "Marquis Ningnan, we are here this time because we hope that the Marquis can restrain the army and not arouse public grievances."

Zuo Liangyu already knew that after his men entered the city, he started robbery, but he did not dare to stop him.

Zuo Liangyu's control over his subordinates is actually not strong.

Liang Jun, under Gao Huan's command, followed Gao Huan to have dinner. Whether there is any food to eat, while Zuo Jun was Zuo Liangyu's command to make a table with his men.

Now Zuo Liangyu has no money or food, and has not paid any wages to his soldiers for more than a year.

At this time, the soldiers under his command were not allowed to rob him, and Gao Huan did not need to do anything. Zuo Zhenbing killed Zuo Liangyu and established a new master.

When everyone saw Shi Kefa, they immediately stated their own experiences, cried out for Zuo Jun's crimes, and asked Zuo Liangyu to control the army.

Zuo Liangyu had a dark face, suddenly slapped the seat, and said furiously: "You still have the face to say that the emperor is not a hungry soldier. My Zuo Town soldiers came to Jiangnan to protect you and others' safety. You emptied the treasury and didn't leave a son for me, so why don't the soldiers find a way to solve the money and food?"

Everyone was so scared that they stopped their voices, but Shi Kefa asked in confusion: "The treasury is empty?"

Zuo Liangyu said coldly: "Not bad! There is not a single copper in the national treasury!"

Fang Fengnian and others couldn't help but look at Shi Kefa, "Shige Department, don't the court still have tens of millions of taels?"

Shi Kefa was excluded from the center of power by Zhou Yanru and Gao Youcai. He usually manages sacrifices and has some etiquette issues, so he did not let him touch money and food at all.

Zuo Liangyu said angrily: "No need to ask, the money and grain have been transferred away by Gao Zhe."

As he said that, Zuo Liangyu glanced at many gentry, suddenly calmed his tone and sighed, "Actually, I can understand your mood, but I can't help now! You should know that the separatist vassal states in the late Tang Dynasty, and the vassal soldiers killed the lord generals, and then promoted new people, are common! Now everyone will not help, and to solve the problem of food and wages for the soldiers, I will only let them raise their own funds regardless of their efforts to restrain their subordinates!"

After hearing this, everyone immediately understood what Zuo Liangyu meant and asked everyone to spend money to buy peace.

When it comes to the issue of money, everyone immediately stopped talking.

Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu looked a little displeased, and said coldly: "Since you don't want to donate generously, please come back! The army's vassal cannot control it."

Everyone was anxious when they heard the words. Fang Fengnian's daughter was still in the hands of Zuo Jun. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Marquis tell me, let's get together!"

Zuo Jun robbed and robbed the house today. He would dare to insult the women tomorrow and arrest them for torture.

I am a fisherman.

The gentry could only say that as long as Zuo Liangyu could restrain his subordinates, they would be willing to collect some money and grain to pay the Zuo Army.

"It's easy to say!" Zuo Liangyu smiled with satisfaction: "Last year you gave Gao Huan 20 million taels. You have to give him a bowl of water, so you can get 20 million taels!"

When everyone heard the words, they almost fainted. Fang Fengnian said with a bitter face: "Marty! Gao Huan copied the Duke of Wei's Mansion and the Nanjing nobles. He really couldn't get it out. He was not worth so much as a house and land."

Zuo Liangyu said: "That's ten million taels!"

Birds of a feather! Many gentry were bleeding in their hearts. After a while of discussion, Fang Fengnian said: "You can make up at most five million taels, but you have really been squeezed out by Gao Huan!"

Zuo Liangyu thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, it's only five million taels, no less, no less, I look down on me Zuo Zhen!"

Zuo Liangyu finally reached an agreement with the gentry and realized Gao Huan's happiness.

And just then, Hou Xun suddenly walked in, took a letter and presented it to Zuo Liangyu and said, "Mr. Marquis! The emperor issued an order to ask you to cross the river and go to Jiangbei to discuss major events!"

Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but frown when she heard the words, and took it to watch it. In the name of Zhu Cihuan, he asked him to go to Jiangbei to be granted title.

Zhu Cihuan was in Beijing, so this letter could only be written by Dorgon.

Zuo Liangyu read the letter and said that he wanted to be the king of him, which made him ponder.

Now that Zuo Liangyu is in control of Nanjing, the gentry promises to raise money for Zuo Jun, which makes Zuo Liangyu become ambitious.

When Dorgon asked him to go to Jiangbei, Zuo Liangyu would definitely not go, but he sent an envoy to communicate with him, but there was no problem.
