Chapter 5 Hearts and Backs

Whether it was Dorgon, Dodo, Boluo or other Manchu nobles, they all believed that this was just an order to distinguish between the enemy and me!

The order to shave the hair has been executed several times outside the pass. Although it has caused some trouble, it is not a big problem for the Later Jin and the Qing dynasties. Now, the hidden enemies can be dug out with the order of shaving. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of new affiliated troops are completely fine now, which can be used to act as butchers. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone.

But they never thought that the people were willing to be grateful. If this shaving method was not allowed to be completely conquered by the Qing Dynasty for up to one year, but because of this shaving method, the war would last for decades.

The most sensitive thing to the change in the situation is Wang Sunfan, the governor of Jiangxi who had just entered Guangxin. Although Wang Sunfan was in the name of "Governor of Jiangxi" and had a complete set of procedures, everyone also knows that he, the governor of Jiangxi, was appointed by Hongguang Dynasty and was later recognized by the Empress of the Supervisor and the Princess of the Supervisor.

However, Emperor Hongguang and Ma Shiying quickly demoted Prince Sun Fan to the people, while the Empress and Princess of Jinhua were simply nonsense. How could a woman become an emperor? It was just an example of Wu Zefu for thousands of years.

Therefore, although Wang Sunfan brought a seal and a total of 2,000 troops to pacify the river with his fifth battalion, after entering Guangxin, not only did the powerful parties in various places be very neglected by Wang Sunfan, but his control over Guangxin Mansion also became a problem. Although the local officials and gentry of Guangxin Mansion recognized Wang Sunfan as the governor of Jiangxi, they were unwilling to accept his dispatch. Many officials and gentry were even secretly engaging in secret with the Qing army in Nanchang.

However, as soon as the news of the hair shaving order reached Jiangxi, Wang Sunfan discovered that the entire Guangxin Mansion had now been replaced by the banner of "Governor of Jiangxi, Wang Sunfan" and was willing to obey all the orders of Wang Sunfan.

For Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing, this is a very amazing harvest. After all, before, Empress Zhang only controlled the three prefectures in Jinqu. Even if there are less than 30 prefectures and counties that are willing to obey the orders of Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing. Now Wang Sunfan can be said to have won the championship, and the entire seven counties of Guangxin Prefecture have become Wang Sunfan’s comforting *****.

But the gain was not only from Guangxin Prefecture, but also from nearby Raozhou Prefecture, Jianchang Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture and even Nanchang Prefecture, officials and gentry were willing to obey Wang Sunfan's dispatch, and their only request was to lead them to fight against the Qing army.

But Wang Sunfan knew that in addition to developing in depth to Jiangxi, Duke of Yue Liu Yongxi, the world's military commander, also gave an important order: "Pay attention to the development towards Huizhou, we must develop towards Huizhou, and we must contact Jinsheng!"

Although Wang Sunfan thought that Liu Yongxi was the Grand Marshal of the World and indeed had a talent for military use, he felt that as the governor of Jiangxi, he was responsible for all affairs in Jiangxi Province and did not need to follow Liu Yongxi's arrangements and proceed step by step.

But now after shaving his head, he found that developing into Huizhou has become a wonderful step. After all, Huizhou has Jin Sheng, a truly powerful faction. Although Jin Sheng has no official position in the court, he has been operating in Huizhou for more than ten years and has made the entire Huizhou become his own iron barren country.

In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Ma Shiying, the Governor of Fengyang, transferred 7,000 Guizhou soldiers from his hometown to aid. As a result, 700 Guizhou soldiers and more than 600 military horses were wiped out by the township brave men led by Jin Sheng in Huizhou due to military discipline issues. From this battle, the amazing combat effectiveness of the township brave men in Huizhou was seen, and the entire court was shocked.

So in the end, the case ended up being mixed with each other. No one dared to provoke Jin Sheng, who had been in Huizhou for more than ten years, for fear of forcing him and the entire Huizhou to rebel, so he could only turn big things into small things.

When he arrived at the Hongguang Dynasty, although Ma Shiying became an auxiliary minister to control the court, he had to rely on the power of Jinsheng, a gentry in the village. An important reason why Zuo Liangyu was blocked from going east was that Jinsheng fully supported Hongguang court. Now Jinsheng has already launched a flag of righteousness to raise an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Although Tong Yili was already in charge in Quzhou, Wang Sunfan still felt that Jiangxi also needed to contact Jin Sheng, so that the situation in Jinhua, the small court, could stabilize.

Liu Yongxi also had unexpected gains. Although he knew that the situation would change completely under the shaving order, he did not expect that almost the entire Shaoxing Prefecture would surrender to him immediately, and there was a very sensitive figure among the local gentry who welcomed Duke Yue.

The gentry in front of him looked at Liu Yongxi with a hint of vigilance, but Liu Yongxi said very calmly: "Before entering Jiangshang, I specifically asked the Empress and His Highness for advice. They all said that Hongguang was completely destroyed by party struggles. This dynasty naturally had to learn from it. Whether it was Donglin or Qin, Chu, Zhejiang and Lu, even if it was not famous or guilty, the past was over. As long as you were willing to fight Jianlu, you would be able to apply!"

The gentry was truly relieved when he heard Liu Yongxi's words. He knelt down directly for Liu Yongxi: "The empress's kindness, the kindness of your highness, and the kindness of Duke Yue of Yu, Yu, will never forget it! Yu must be loyal to the court."

The real name of this Yu Jinshen is Yu Huang. He is the top scholar in the fifth year of Tianqi and one of the most famous gentry in Shaoxing Prefecture. However, he never had the chance to recover after resigning from office in the early years of Chongzhen. The reason is that he participated in the compilation of the "Three Dynasties" in the Tianqi Dynasty, which can be said to be the enemy of Donglin.

Although Yu Huang was not included in the "Imperial Rebellion Case" in the early years of Chongzhen, it was not considered a hard-core eunuch party, but Ruan Dacheng of the Hongguang Dynasty had the advantage in the court and he had the opportunity to recover. At that time, Emperor Hongguang was preparing to rebuild the three dynasties to ask him to enter the court, but Yu Huang felt that the water in Nandu was too mixed, so he stayed in his hometown in Kuaiji to wait for the opportunity.

Although Liu Yongxi did not mention the most sensitive issue of the eunuch party, Yu Huang already knew that Empress Zhang, Princess Kunxing and Duke Yue had reached a completely consensus on this issue, that is, whether it is Donglin or the eunuch party, it is the use of it. Just as Liu Yongxi said, "The past is over."

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Yu Huang, and Liu Yongxi also promised Yu Huang: "Originally, the Empress and His Highness of the Princess were preparing to summon Mr. Yu to the court, but now he is unable to use Mr. Yu on the river, so he still has to borrow Mr. Yu for the time being!"

Although Yu Huang is a eunuch party, he is a top gentry in Shaoxing Prefecture and has a great influence. When he heard Liu Yongxi say this, he immediately promised: "Duke Yue Guo, don't worry, if you need to use troops on the river, just talk, I promise to do it as soon as possible!"
