Nanzhao County is adjacent to Funiu Mountain in the north and Wanxiang Plain in the south. The Chinese army occupied this place, so they had the initiative to attack Luoyang at any time.

Zhang Sheng once said that he fled from Nanzhao County and went south. After thousands of troops arrived in Nanzhao, he always felt that Nanzhao County was extremely friendly. With his longing for Zhang Xiaoyan, he found the broken Zhang Mansion in the city.

The huge Zhang Mansion can vaguely see the prosperity of the Zhang family in the past, but there are weeds inside the gate, and many wooden beams and stone steps have been demolished for city defense. The lotus pond in the backyard has become a stinking ditch, rockery stones have also been moved to the city wall to make rolling stones, and a body that is not yet enough to be cleaned up is floating in the pond.

Things are the most sad when people change. Wan Jun is in the Zhang Mansion, and it looks like Zhang Xiaoyan from the past everywhere. Wan Jun couldn't bear the sadness, so he moved to Fayun Temple to live.

According to legend, Fayun Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, China was powerful and powerful. The westernmost territory had reached the west of the Aral Sea, and it was in Henglus to compete with the enemy.

The dilapidated Fayun Temple is like the gradually declining China since the end of the Tang Dynasty. There are no more red flag heroes in the Western Regions, and they are no longer protected by the Tianshan Mountains.

In Wan Jun's heart, sometimes he thought of Zhang Xiaoyan, sometimes he thought of the Tang Empire that was thousands of years ago.

If the Ming Dynasty had not declined, how could the Chinese people be ruled by the Hu people? Wang Huan is still a princess with a wealthy body, and Zhang Xiaoyan would not have lost her life.

Almost as the Qing soldiers of Mengjin received the news, the same news was passed to Nanzhao.

Cui Ziyi, Chang Jian, Chen Xinmin, Bai Wang and others rushed from Nanzhaocheng to Fayun Temple.

Fayun Temple is located in the branch facing south of Funiu Mountain. It is the end of spring, and the mountains here are broad and the scenery is becoming more and more beautiful.

Everyone sat around the courtyard of Fayun Temple, and Cui Ziyi slowly told the story of what happened in southern China.

Zhu Yihai, the King of Lu of the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne in Shaoxing, and changed the first year name to Datong on the first day of the first lunar month. Zhu Yu, the King of Tang, ascended the throne in Guangzhou, and changed the first year name to Shaowu on the first day of the first lunar month. Zhu Youlang, the King of Gui, ascended the throne in Wuzhou and changed the first year name to Yongli on the first day of the first lunar month.

After the edict was issued, the only remaining world in the Ming Dynasty actually had the situation of the three emperors joining together.

The world is so big that it is hard to tolerate two emperors, let alone three emperors, King Gui Zhu Youlang and King Lu Zhu Yihai sent troops to attack Guangzhou at the same time. King Tang Zhu Yu was exiled and was defeated in February and died in death.

King Zhu Yihai of Lu was supported by Zheng Zhilong and had a very strong force. After taking Guangzhou, he started a war with King Zhu Youlang of Gui.

Almost at the same time, while the Chinese army was fighting against the Hu people in Nanyang, gentry and bureaucrats everywhere in Nanjing were dissatisfied with the Chinese army's calculation and division of land, and announced their surrender to King Zhu Yihai, King of Lu.

Zhao Boji's troops were defeated and retreated to Jiangyin City. The Chinese troops everywhere in Nanjing had to retreat to Anqing. Fortunately, when thousands of troops left, they arranged 30,000 troops to respond. The chaos in Jiangnan did not affect the Jingxiang area.

Wan Jun had already expected the little thoughts of the gentry in Nanjing. It was not surprising to hear the news at this time, but the following news was very amazing.

In the Huaian area, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo and others accepted the advice of the gentry in Nanjing and announced their surrender to the Ming Dynasty. After a great battle between Li Chengdong and Liu Zeqing and others, they retreated to Xinyang.

Wan Jun couldn't help but say, "This Li Chengdong has not rebelled."

Chang Jian and others cursed, "Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo's grandson are really shameless. The Hu people came to surrender to the Hu people, our army went to surrender to our army, and now they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in a blink of an eye."

Cui Ziyi said, "This is not over yet. In mid-March, Zheng Zhilong led his troops into Nanjing City. Who knew that Zheng Zhilong

He had already secretly communicated with the Hu people, and soon betrayed King Zhu Yihai of Lu, and Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo turned around and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty."

Chen Xinmin was so shocked that he couldn't speak, "What's this called?"

Wan Jun said, "During the Battle of Anqing, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo rebelled against the Qing army, which led to the great defeat of the Qing army. How could he surrender to the Hu people again?"

Cui Ziyi said, "These two people pushed the matter to Li Chengdong. Now the Hu people only need Li Chengdong's life, and these two people will be in the past."

Chang Jian sighed, "In this way, will the land in Jiangnan fall into the hands of the Hu people again?"

Chen Xinmin said, "Recently, something has been circulated among the military and civilians, saying that the Hu people's attack has poached a huge destiny in the Qinling Mountains."

Chang Jian followed, "I also heard that our destiny was snatched from the Yellow River by the Hu people."

Chen Xinmin said, "This situation has taken a sharp turn, and I didn't expect it to come true so soon."

Cui Ziyi said angrily, "You two are generals, and you believe such a ridiculous statement. How can you know the destiny of heaven be human power, let alone the destiny of heaven be a joke."

Bai Wang was silent for a long time, and at this time he spoke, "No matter what fate he is, the Hu people and wolf ambitions must be eliminated."

Cui Ziyi said, "It's not that easy to take Jiangnan. Even if you give it to them, you will vomit it sooner or later."

Wan Jun said, "That's right, the situation was forced by the situation in the Battle of Anqing, and we had to take down Jiangnan. There were too many thorns in Jiangnan, so it would be better for the Hu people to pull the thorns for us."

Cui Ziyi said, "Take the opportunity of the Hu people dealing with Jiangnan again, we will take over Shanxi and Shaanxi in one go, and major events are expected."

Wan Jun nodded and said, "Ziyi's words are right. He ordered the army not to discuss the destiny of heaven. He just waited for Zhang Wuyang to take Sichuan, the army to leave Hanzhong, and take Shanxi and Shaanxi."

In Nanjing, it was drizzling, and when it was almost noon, the rain gradually became heavier.

Outside Hongwu Gate, more than 30 gentry and nobles including Qian Qianyi, Wang Duo, Li Zhan opened the city gate with a group of wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River and knelt in the rain.

People are still those people, the difference is that there are more people and fewer people.

Less than a month ago, the Dukes were here, kneeling down to welcome Zheng Zhilong, the general under the command of Emperor Zhu Yihai, to restore Nanjing.

However, at this time, Zheng Zhilong had already shaved his head and sat in a shed not far away with the Zheng family's personal soldiers, waiting for the arrival of the Qing soldiers.

Less than a month now, the dukes are kneeling here again, waiting for the arrival of the Qing soldiers.

Qian Qianyi kneeled in the first place, which was very ironic to say. The gentry and the gentry kneeled in different levels.

Qian Qianyi and other senior officials of the Ming Dynasty, the head of the Donglin Party, naturally knelt in front of him, and the surrendered person could see at a glance.

The second-class bureaucrats and gentry could only kneel behind Qian Qianyi and others.

The other gentry and merchants could only kneel in the crowd.

But the other all living beings do not even have the qualifications to kneel here.

However, Qian Qianyi's face at this moment, because of shame and anger and the coldness of the rain, it turned into a pig's liver.

Half a lifetime of cultivation of the ministers and the disguise of sages was torn to pieces, and only shame remained here.

Zhu Guobi, Duke Bao of the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Jiujue, Duke of Wei, were kneeling here not long ago, and welcomed the Ming Dynasty flag with him. Now, because Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Nanjing City, he hanged himself in his mansion in shame and anger.

Only myself is left here, throwing away the few remaining faces without any dignity.

Qian Qianyi in the rain

He sighed and suddenly remembered that afternoon, when he and Liu Rushi made an appointment to join the water to die for their country.

The scene at that time appeared in front of you again. The two of you arrived at the river pond with the will of death. Liu Rushi advised him, "Your Majesty has received great grace from the Ming Dynasty and died for the country at this time."

Qian Qianyi reached out to explore the water with his hands and was silent for a long time, "The water is too cold, let's come back next time!"

Liu Rushi was so angry that he turned around and wanted to dive into suicide, but was hugged by Qian Qianyi and rescued him.

Qian Qianyi coughed, and Liu Rushi's face appeared in front of her. She was still as young and beautiful as she first met, and was looking at herself with a smile.

Qian Qianyi looked down at himself, kneeling in the mud, covered in filth, and sighed again, "You are still a young beauty, but I am already covered in filth, no longer as before."

The people around him heard what Qian Qianyi said, but couldn't hear it clearly. They leaned over and asked, "What are the elders talking about?"

At this moment, suddenly the sound of golden drums was heard, and the sound of horse hooves was rumbling, and colorful flags emerged from the ground halfway, appearing in the rain.

This scene is extremely familiar. In May last year, it was the same. Nanjing City surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The Lords knelt here, and saw colorful flags emerging, smashing the dignity of the Lords of Donglin to pieces.

How many times is this kneeling here?

In less than eight months, he first surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, then rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to the Chinese Army, and then betrayed the Chinese Army and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Now he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty again.

This must be God is joking with him, a huge joke.

The horse's hooves trampled on the splashing mud and water until Qian Qianyi stopped. The mud and water splashed Qian Qianyi's face. A tall warrior sat on the horse, looking proudly at the person kneeling on the ground.

The warrior sneered and shouted, "Qian Qianyi! I didn't expect that, I am back!"

Qian Qianyi's lips were blue and he raised his head tremblingly. Just when he saw the warrior standing on his horse, he suddenly coughed suddenly. A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and fell to the ground. He let blood and mud water pour into his mouth and nose without any rest.

After a low scream and panic, the dukes were frightened by the murderous aura of the Qing soldiers, and no one dared to move at all. They just let the former leader of the Donglin Party, the old Qian Qianyi fall into the mud.

When Zheng Zhilong saw the arrival of the Qing soldiers, he brought the people over and knelt on the ground and shouted, "Welcome to Prince He Shuoying of the Qing Dynasty!"

Ajige immediately glanced at Zheng Zhilong, with contempt, and said softly, "The Qing Dynasty will definitely not treat you badly."

Then he slapped his horse's buttocks and headed into Hongwu Gate.

The brigade of soldiers stepped on the mud and water and entered Nanjing City. No one went to see the boneless people kneeling around, and the cold body that fell in the mud and water.

Qian Qianyi knelt outside Hongwu Gate for the fourth time when he was surrendering. Because he was too old and cold rain was cold, he vomited blood and died of shame and anger, which spread all over the world.

When the Qing soldiers went to Jiangnan again, Ajige attributed all the reasons for the failure of the Battle of Anqing to the betrayal of Li Chengdong and the gentry of Jiangnan.

Several officials and gentry headed by Qian Qianyi were confiscated by the Qing army. Qian Qianyi's concubine Liu Rushi was burned to death with a manuscript of poetry.

All the gentry and merchants, the Qing soldiers often searched their homes and killed them, and for a time, the Jiangnan region caused a bloody storm. However, no one dared to say a word more than a gentry who had called Wang Fa and the law of the heavenly rule.
