"I've met my second uncle."

"Yuan Qi Shaoli."

When the uncle and nephew saw the ceremony, Min Yuan bowed and gave the full ceremony. Min Gande also returned the ceremony halfway. After seeing the ceremony, Min Gande immediately said: "Li Kecheng had already come to me and disturb me, saying that you were causing Yang Shida's affairs and you should bear it. I pushed him back yesterday, why do you take it on yourself? You have replenished thousands of households, and the other hundred households have been charged 10% of the salt ships. Do you replenish them? If you replenish them all, how many times will your family be enough to replenish them?"

Min Gande's words are not very nice, but out of good intentions.

Min Yuanqi had only been home for a day, and in Huai'an for only one day, but things fermented quite quickly. It should be that several of the subsequent ward salt ships were intercepted and silver was charged.

Yang Shida seemed to be quite angry, and Li Kecheng and others suffered unanticipated disasters.

Now there are at most two or three salt ships intercepted. In another ten days and half a month, more salt ships will probably be intercepted. It is indeed as Min Gande said, will Min Yuanqi replenish or not?

Min Gande said with great dissatisfaction: "Li Qianhu really doesn't do anything serious, and what he cares about is all about his own money. A scoundrel like Yang Shida spends money to slap a mistress, and he is just a scoundrel. If our Yundiguan Office is still your father as the chief of the print Qianhu, whether it is impeachment or a few fights with Yang Shida, the money will be long gone. Damn, our group of soldiers who use guns and sticks will have to pay the money to the scoundrels, Qingpi, and idle people, and the ancestors will be completely defeated for eight lifetimes!"

Min Gande was indeed quite angry. When Min Ganli was alive, the garrison still looked like a garrison and had some rules in everything. Even if there was no force, a group of military men could not ask the rascals to ride on their necks and stool and urinate.

But Li Kecheng was fine, and he only focused on getting a few acres of land, collecting more stones of grain, frying more silver for sale, and saving more silver. Many of the affairs of Qianhu House were mostly pushed to Min Gande and others. Li Kecheng only cared about pleasing the bosses in Huai'an City. The more people were like this, the more they became. Over the past ten years, Li Kecheng had gained a lot, and Qianhu House became more and more declining.

Now people like Yang Shida bully the dignified fifth-rank Qianhu, but Li Kecheng only bullies Min Yuanqi who dares to resist, which is even more disgusting.

"Second uncle, Li Qianhu is not trying to target him, he is just stingy with his own money." Min Yuanqi smiled and said, "This is a good thing. My nephew is a little bit disguised, but he is afraid that Shangguan will make trouble without any trouble. If it is money, it can make Shangguan happy, which is a good thing."

"He is so lard that he is thinking about money, and he will ignore everything if he doesn't have money..." Min Gande used to the teacup and said angrily: "The Shige Department has written all the guards under the Central Army Governor's Office, Yangzhou Guard, Hezhou Guard, Chuzhou Guard, Sizhou Guard, Zhenhai Guard, Taicang Guard, Shouzhou Guard, Yizhou Guard, Jinshan Guard, Xin'an Guard, Suzhou Guard, Xuzhou Guard, Anqing Guard, Suzhou Qianhu Office, Zhongdu Guard... All the guards and guards must prepare food and equipment, including mules, donkeys, carriages, horses, rotating guards and soldiers and Ding Zhuang must be prepared. Wait for the order of the king to serve the king, the guards will be on the rotation of the troops, vehicles and supplies, and Ding Zhuang will follow the king's army along the canal to cross Shandong to the capital to serve the king. In addition to us, even the Qianhu Guards in Yancheng will be prepared. All the guards and the guards in Henan who can be assigned have received the orders of the Ministry of War! Li Kecheng and I said that this is a major event. The emperor was trapped in our country and was betrothed by the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years. How could he sit and watch when the emperor was in danger? Besides, the military orders were like mountains. If all thirty or forty guards could work sincerely and raise 50,000 to 60,000 garrison soldiers and tens of thousands of young men and women. Our Yuntiguan Guardian opened the warehouse arsenal, and the transportation army did not go north. Isn’t it just right to move the cabin boats together? Li Kecheng said that the flag army is exhausted now, there is no food in the warehouse, and there is no money and grain, and he must wait until the Ministry of War to allocate money and grain before he can prepare... He is just a bastard without a king and father, and he is so angry that I am so angry."

Min Gande was originally a majestic middle-aged man. Although the military officer robe was not as new as Li Kecheng, it was washed cleanly. The outer robe was covered with snow-white patches, and a simple Qi sword hung around his waist, which looked like a cautious military officer.

But at this moment, Min Gande was powerless.

Shi Kefa did issue an order to serve the prince to the guards of the Nanjing Governor's Office, ordering the guards to prepare their troops and horses, and at the same time gathered Ding Zhuang, as well as vehicles, mules, horses, ships, etc. There were dozens of garrisons from all over the country. If all the troops could be dispatched, there would be 200,000 to 300,000, plus the Beijing camp soldiers, that would be 300,000 to 400,000.

Duoduo went south, and according to statistics, there were more than 200,000 people in Nanjing, but they surrendered without fighting.

The garrison was rotten, but at this time Li Kecheng could see clearly that the garrison was poor and the flag army was exhausted. The center did not allocate money and food. How could each garrison have the ability to gather troops to prepare money and food to prepare for northwards?

If it were at the beginning of the country, when Taizu gave the order, the general held military orders and assembled 300,000 to 400,000 troops, he would be able to slapped Li Chuangdang in an instant. Even if he fought all the way to Liaodong, it would be normal. At this time, he could not say such things.

"Second uncle." Min Yuanqi whispered: "Is the capital surrounded?"

"How can it be so fast? Chuang Ni now seems to be divided into two groups, one to the north to attack Taiyuan, and the other Liu Fangliang led his troops to attack Henan Shanghebei, and followed Wei Hui and Huaiqing's mansions. Now he has conquered Daming, Hejian... The emperor's journey to the south was cut off. Yesterday, there was the latest diary. It seems that the emperor also felt that the situation was not good. Chuang Ni two groups attacked each other. The southern route was to cut off the southern road and the cabbage. If Baoding was captured and threatened Tianjin, the capital would be dead. This is a sure thing. Chuang Ni must be the capital! The emperor ordered General Wu Sangui to lead Liaodong troops into the capital, as well as Ji Town General Tang Tong, and Shandong Town General Liu Zeqing into the capital. Wu Zongzhen and Tang Tong did not know the news, but Liu Zeqing, hehe, hehe..."

Min Gande couldn't help but sneer. Liu Zeqing received the order to defend the king, but saw that the situation was not good. He caused great harm to his hometown Shandong and then fled south. Now he has already gone to Huai'an.

Shi Kefa just hoped that these generals would lead the guards to fight for the king. Min Gande shook his head and smiled bitterly, and was also discouraged.

It is conceivable that not only Li Kecheng, a thousand households, will not move, but also the commander of the Dahewei in Huai'an Prefecture City, but also the Huai'an Guard, Taizhou Guard, Yangzhou Guard, Yancheng Qianhu Office, and these nearby garrisons will not make any moves.

Unless Shi Kefa brought the Beijing soldiers and food and grass to various places, mobilized the guards and soldiers of the garrison and the soldiers of the garrison, and the violators were severely affected, so that they would whip the military officers of the garrison like gyros... There was no other way to do this.

"The bottom depends on the garrison of Taiyuan, Datong and Xuanfu..." Min Gande said worriedly: "Taiyuan was guarded by the governor Cai Junmen himself, and the King of Jin was there. Ningwu Pass Zhou met General Jizhou and fought fiercely, but he was still defeated and died. The next step will be to clear the surrounding areas of Taiyuan. If you go to Taiyuan, you will continue to attack Datong and then go to Xuanfu. The two major military towns in the northwest of the capital were defeated, and the flank holes were opened. Liu Fangliang threatened Baoding and Tianjin in the south. The roads in the south of the capital were cut off. It was dangerous and too dangerous."

Min Yuanqi said calmly: "In January, the court discussed moving south, or asking the crown prince to go south to supervise the country, they were rejected by the emperor. The situation was already very bad at that time, and the emperor was not determined. No one else's fault."

Min Gande frowned and looked at his cousin, feeling a little dissatisfied and wanted to scold him. His lips stumbled a few times, but he still didn't say it. Li Chuang proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an in the New Year, and then he swore to the north and defeated Lianjie. By February, he conquered Fenzhou, Puzhou, and Huaiqing, and crossed Shanxi and Henan. He divided his troops into four plunders. The army could already threaten Shandong and the canal transportation. The situation was already very dangerous. At that time, the court held many court discussions, and the palace promulgated the world, because no ministers came forward to support the migration south, and the court discussions were both pending.

The request for the crown prince to go south was directly rejected by the emperor himself.

In Chongzhen's words, I have not achieved success in managing the world for more than ten years. The crown prince is young. What can he do when he goes to Nanjing?

At this time, the emperor was still afraid and suspicious. Chongzhen's personality was extreme, stubborn, and had an urgent and violent side, which was the so-called resolute and strictness, and a timid and suspicious side. He was always worried that he would be under the jurisdiction of the ministers and use it. Once he had something, he liked to blame his subordinates. To be honest, although the emperor had been in power for 17 years, the emperor's mind and skills were still a naughty child who had not grown up. It was just that this naughty child held supreme power and had no power to restrain the emperor. Emperor Chongzhen was also afraid of being ruthless. Killing people was like mowing grass. The emperor did not take human life into his heart...

Just because he is not responsible, his subordinates dare to offer advice or like to kill people, but he is responsible, and his subordinates still dare to gain fame and fame under such an emperor.

He is both rude and ungrateful, so who dares to serve such an emperor sincerely?

During the Chongzhen period, especially after the end, the civil and military officials in the dynasty dared to tell the truth were just a few people, Huang Daozhou and Liu Zongzhou. However, these people were Confucian ministers, and all their abilities were in Confucianism and had no ability to be practical in the world. They had no meaning to speak, and they could not even have ideas.

By January of the 17th year, Li Zicheng's troops had already conquered Ningwu Pass, and the partial army also captured several government troops in Henan and entered Hebei.

At this time, Chongzhen still dared not say that he moved south and hoped that the ministers would stand out. In the seventeen years, who did not know the emperor's temper and nature? Who would be the one who would stand out?

Xue Guoguan and Chen Xinjia have the experience before, who would like to take the lead?

The emperor had no support and was inconvenient to speak. In addition, he had fantasies, and finally formed the current situation.

As for not sending the crown prince south, Chongzhen was selfish and suspicious, with the throne in front and the temptation of supreme power in front. Chongzhen not only doubted the ministers, but also his son.

If you are trapped in the capital, your ministers will support the crown prince in Nanjing and refuse to work hard to serve the king, and you will sit down and see you trapped in the capital?

Or imitate the story of Lingwu of Tang Suzong, who directly succeeded the throne and regarded Chongzhen as the emperor. Even if he fled south from the capital, he would inevitably lose all his power.

Chongzhen was only 34 years old, so how could he lose his throne and power like this?

With such suspicion, the crown prince was not allowed to go south in the end, and was captured by Li Zicheng first, but was treated well because Li Zicheng believed that his father had no faults and killed many princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty, but treated Chongzhen's sons quite well.

Later, the Qing army entered the city, and in a hurry, the crown prince and several princes fell into the hands of the Qing army, and they were all secretly executed, killing many princes with beheading.

Chongzhen's own selfishness harmed his own son and also harmed the Ming Dynasty.

The Southern Ming Dynasty was not completely without a chance. If the crown prince arrived in Nanjing, the name of Dayi was beyond reproach. The Donglin Party and Ma Shiying would not fight against the establishment of an emperor, and the four towns in Jiangbei would not have the chance to support him by force. Zuo Liangyu would not clear the monarch and would not have a civil war broke out.

With the unification of name and reality, the Nanming's desire to fight will be much stronger than in history. Even if it fails temporarily, the chance of turning the tables is coming.
