After the Lantern Festival, Zhu Youjian's health is getting better in the Jinling Palace.

In recent days, good news has been going on, and Jin Shenghuan, who is trapped in Jiangxi, intends to surrender.

As soon as Jin Shenghuan's envoy arrived in Jinling, he was summoned by the emperor. All the civil and military officials in the court were eagerly waiting for their news.

Two days later, Jin Shenghuan, the general general of the military affairs of Jiangxi, Jiangxi, the pseudo-Qing Qing Dynasty, captured and killed Zhang Yutian, the Jiangxi Governor of Jiangxi, Dong Xuecheng, the governor of Jiangxi, and Chi Bianlong, led his troops to surrender. Ganzhou's throat finally pulled out the thorn.

When the news reached Suzhou, Hou Xuan was furious. Jin Shenghuan, a traitor, slaughtered 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Ganzhou, known in history as the Ganzhou Massacre. Now he has transformed himself into a loyal minister and general of the Ming Dynasty. Has anyone ever asked the 200,000 innocent people in Ganzhou who died? In this way, will Li Chengdong lead his troops to surrender and also serve as an official in the same palace with him?

Hou Xuanyan first sent someone to scold Qian Sule and Sun Jiaji, and scolded them for besieging Ganzhou for so long that they had not yet made any progress. Then he wrote to the emperor, saying that he could surrender Jin Shenghuan, and he could all his troops, recover Jiangxi, and then kill him.

Zhu Youjian was very absurd and issued an order to reply: I have repeatedly thought about what the Duke of Yue said and thought it was not advisable. It was because of this that the court lost its credibility.

Hou Xuanyan was in a low mood and drank in the mansion all day. His uncle Hou Qi once advised: "Wenyuan, if you are in a bad mood, you can go out for a walk. Anyway, the wedding preparations have not been completed yet, and it will take a month to finish the wedding."

Hou Xuanyan followed the good, came outside Gusu City and sailed on the Taihu Lake. The water was cold in the first month and the lake was empty, and a small boat approached quietly. Hou Xuanyan was in the cabin, covered his face with a hat, holding a fishing rod without bait in his hand, and drifted with the flow.

The boatman on the boat shook the snowflakes on his hat and bowed and said, "Mr. Governor, recently, a strange monk went to Chen Zilong's mansion. Liu Rushi, who was hiding in his mansion, often went in and out with this monk. The flag was made to copy the appearance of the monk and investigate it from multiple sources. It has been found that this person must be Qian Qianyi. Qian Qianyi, Chen Zilong and Huang Zongxi often gathered for secret spies. We suspect that it is related to the General Governor."

Under the hat, Hou Xuanyan nodded and asked, "This generation is not worth worrying about. Jin Shenghuan surrenders, why didn't I receive the news?"

The boatman lowered his head, looked ashamed, and said, "This person is suspicious by nature and has no rules. He was originally a thief from Shaanxi. He just started a massacre because he was incompatible with the governor, and killed all Shangguan and chose to surrender. There was indeed no sign in advance, so his subordinates could not detect it."

Hou Xuanyan nodded and asked, "Hong Yizhuo, has any news ever been heard?"

The boatman said, "Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and left Hanzhong, and was shocked and suspicious, so he asked Du Yinxi for rescue. Governor Du was strongly opposed by Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates on the condition that he removed the throne and submitted a surrender form. Now the two sides are still negotiating, and some people in the court have already criticized Du Yinxi, saying that he first broke into rebellion one after another, and then wanted to do good deeds, and had ulterior motives."

Hou Xuanyan sneered and cursed: "A bunch of idiots."

Although the boatman didn't know where he learned the slang, he also knew it was a swear word and continued: "The commander-in-chief, three people in Chen Zilong's mansion, do you want it..."

Hou Xuan spoke: "No, poisonous snakes can hurt people in the dark. Once they are caught, they are the best medicinal materials. Since their ghost tricks have been known to us, it may be of great use to keep them."

In the Dabie Mountains, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming gathered together, and except for these three, there was not even a single personal soldier in the tent.

Geng Zhongming picked up the charcoal fire and said, "Wu Sangui is a ruthless man. He left behind a army of 200,000, and walked around Dongting Lake and ran to Hanzhong. 200,000, and he was thrown away at the same time. The court did not dare to issue an order to punish him severely. Hey! I think this Manchu Jiannu was almost in a hurry compared to Mongolia back then. It is probably a dream to want to enter the Central Plains."

Kong Youde took a look at Shang Kexi, but saw that he was still alive and did not reply. Kong Youde was angry and said loudly: "Grandpa and Jiannu fought for a lifetime. Although they were harmed by Yuan Chonghuan's dog thieves, they never thought of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. Our brothers were desperate and were forced to choose to cooperate with the Manchus. We are all from Liao, millions of Liao people, and no one has ever been killed by Nurhaci. What do you mean, no matter how Dorgon urges us, we must preserve our strength and learn from that boy Wu Sangui. If one day, the Qing Dynasty and Hou Xuanyan fought all over, who said that our brothers would have no chance? Lao Shang, what do you think?"

Shang Kexi remained silent. The two people around him actually had a grudge against him.

Geng Zhongming's younger brother Geng Zhongyu was killed by Shang Kexi. Soon after, the Wuqiao mutiny occurred in the Ming Dynasty. Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others occupied Dengzhou and resisted the Ming army for more than a year. After the mutiny, Huang Long sent Shang Kexi and Jin Shenghuan, who were still generals of the Ming Dynasty at the time, to appease the Dongjiang islands, and expelled Gao Chengyou, a rebel party in Lushun. Then Huang Long moved into Lushun. In February, Shang Kexi suddenly exerted his efforts to flee Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming to the sea.

Later, Kong Youde, who was desperate, and Geng Zhongming surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and led troops to retaliate. Huang Long committed suicide due to his defeat. Shang Kexi, who remained in Lushun, all jumped into the water and died.

Although they were both from Pidao, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were as close as brothers. They were much distant from Shang Kexi. Although Kong Youde and Geng Zongming were determined to win him over, there was always a barrier between them.

Shang Kexi reached out to the brazier, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "We will first be the generals, and then the Qing Dynasty. If we still have to repeat it, it may be contrary to heaven and harmony. If we are contrary to heaven and harmony, we will be struck by lightning."

Geng Zhongming smiled sinisterly and said, "Nurhaci was originally a slave of the Li family, and a guardian dog raised by our Han people. Later, he killed millions of Han people. If there were divine punishments, he would have been struck by lightning ashes. A real man was born in a chaotic world. He should be the emperor and become an emperor. When things go in the face of things, he even had to take into account divine punishments. Then should I go to the temple to ask you for peace?"

Shang Kexi stood up and said coldly: "Geng Er, you don't have to grin with me. If you really can do it, why didn't you fight Yuan Chonghuan?"

Kong Youde respected Mao Wenlong the most. When he heard him mention that, he angrily said, "Enough! Geng Er and I were not by my grandfather's side at that time, just because we didn't know you were in the tent. We watched helplessly, why are we still so embarrassed to mention it today?"
