Ning Wanmei said: "Master He Luohui, is the news reliable?"
He Luohui said: "It should be no problem, because the information was provided by the Fan family."
Hong Chengchou said: "If the information is provided by the Fan family, then there should be no problem."
The Fan family mentioned by Hong Chengchou and He Luohui was Fan Yongdou, one of the eight major Shanxi merchants.
As early as the period of Lao Nu, Fan Yongdou and other eight major Shanxi merchants began to secretly sell grain to the Jian slaves. The Jian slaves relied on Fan Yongdou and others to smuggle grain to survive several food shortages.
In exchange, the slaves would hand over the gold, silver and jewelry they robbed during the raids to Shanxi merchants.
With the money, the eight major Shanxi merchants became stronger and could provide more food to Jiannu. In addition, the eight major Shanxi merchants would also provide Jiannu with news about the Ming Dynasty.
Now, the eight major Shanxi merchants have extended their tentacles to Jiangnan.
However, as of now, the intelligence network of the eight major Shanxi merchants in Jiangnan is not strong enough, so they can only provide some information that is not considered confidential.
We only know the outlines of this party struggle.
But this is still enough to help Jiannu’s senior management make accurate judgments. @ essence / bookstore·nothing wrong~~
He Luohui said: "Master, why does the Donglin Party want to help me in the Qing Dynasty?"
Dorgon waved his hand and said: "The Donglin Party does not want to help our Qing Dynasty, but just wants to use the hands of our Qing Dynasty soldiers to eradicate Chongzhen for them."
"What the master said is absolutely true," Hong Chengchou said. "Chongzhen first used iron fist to purge the four frontier armies of Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and Huang Degong, and then expanded them to thirty frontier armies. Then he sent Wang Shizi to punish Qin.
When I go to Huai'an to train rural warriors, I will have more and more military power in my hands, and if I want to equalize land in Guide, I will naturally be jealous of the Donglin Party."
He Luohui said: "Chongzhen is the emperor and is equivalent to his master. Isn't it normal for him to hold military power?"
Fan Wencheng said: "This is true for me, the Qing Dynasty, but it is not the case for the Ming Dynasty. The ministers of the Ming Dynasty, such as the civil servants of the Donglin Party, hope that the emperor can honestly be a puppet."
"Being a puppet?" He Luohui said, "Let the emperor be a puppet?"
"What the civil servants in the Ming Dynasty have been pursuing for generations is to make the emperor a puppet, or a tablet." Hong Chengchou said, "Because Confucianism advocates co-governance by scholar-bureaucrats."
Ning Wanwu said: "The so-called co-governance by scholars and officials actually means that civil servants have the final say."
He Luohui said: "Hey, to put it bluntly, it is still a fight for power. The emperor wants to usurp the power of the civil servants, and the civil servants also want to limit the emperor's power. In the end, when they are not reconciled, they will do evil to each other. So who loses this time?"
Hong Chengchou said: "It looks like it's a tie at the moment, no one wins, no one loses."
Ning Wanmei said: "But if Chongzhen is killed by our Qing soldiers, then the Donglin Party will win."
Dorgon knocked on the table and suddenly asked: "Three gentlemen, can you get in touch with the Donglin Party and reach a tacit understanding with them secretly? After all, we have the same goal, we all want Chongzhen to die!"
"Master, don't even think about this." Hong Chengchou said, "Those in the Donglin Party are pedantic people. Although they want to restrict the emperor's power, the emperor does not cooperate and even dare to directly murder the emperor, but they insist on the distinction between Huayi and Huayi.
, are extremely hostile to our Qing Dynasty, so they will definitely not join forces with us to deal with Chongzhen."
"What a pity." Dorgon sighed upon hearing this, "What a great opportunity."
Hong Chengchou said: "Actually, it's not a pity. The Donglin Party members are just a group of pedantic and incompetent people. If they fail to succeed, they will fail. If you cooperate with them, you may ruin big things."
Fan Wencheng said: "Furthermore, the Imperial Party and the Donglin Party in the Southern Ming Dynasty have completely broken up. Although there is a tie this time, it does not mean that both sides can live in peace. There will definitely be more outbreaks between the two sides in the future.
The fierce conflict will definitely affect Nanming's support for Xuzhou."
"What Xian Dou said is absolutely true." Ning Wanwo nodded and said.
"The party struggle in Nanjing can only make things worse for the Ming armies in Chongzhen and Xuzhou."
Hong Chengchou said: "We have known before that Xuzhou City only has three months of food rations. If the food and grass from Nanjing cannot enter Xuzhou City, it will not exceed half a year at most, and Xuzhou will definitely be defeated."
Dorgon nodded happily and said, "Then we'll see."

Chapter 274 The Rise of the Imperial Party
At the same time, Chongzhen also learned about the party struggle.
The news was sent in by Yang Ponu. This was the third time he had sent a message into Xuzhou, but compared to the previous two times, it was much easier to go to Fushui this time because the water temperature was higher.
Chongzhen knew much more detailed information than Jiannu.
To be honest, Chongzhen was still a little surprised by this.
What surprised Chongzhen was not the party struggle itself. It was normal for Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang and other Donglin Party members to take this opportunity to launch a party struggle. What surprised Chongzhen was that Shi Kefa actually betrayed him.
Chongzhen thought that there would be officials secretly helping the Imperial Party, and even thought that the Donglin Party would most likely fall apart. However, he really did not expect that Shi Ke would betray him.
Shi Kefa is the leader of the Donglin Party.
Now it has become an imperial party? This is really unexpected.
What surprised Chongzhen even more was that Shi Kefa actually had the courage to correct the imperial edict. Others didn't know it, but Chongzhen knew very well that he didn't leave any secret edict to Meng Zhaoxiang and the others at all, so this could only be a false imperial edict.
Shi Kefa's false edict directly failed the Donglin Party's intentions.
So now, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is still firmly in the hands of the imperial party.
If the Donglin Party members cannot control the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they cannot cut off Xuzhou's money and food.
Chongzhen can completely imagine how anxious the Donglin Party members in Nanjing must be at this time.
But it’s useless to be anxious. If you can’t seize the opportunity given to you, who’s to blame? I can only “help” you get here.
The failure of these wastes of the Donglin Party to achieve success will affect Chongzhen's next plans, which will weaken the degree of hatred and opposition between Prince Qin and the Donglin Party.
But the arrow is already on the string at this time, and it will be impossible if it is not fired.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At that moment, Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen: "Wang Daban, summon all the scholars and leaders!"
Except for Yan Yingyuan, Huang Zongxi and a few others who were out, Wang Chengen quickly summoned more than 60 scholar leaders who stayed in Xuzhou to Chongzhen's office.
Chongzhen let all the scholars read the secret letter sent from Nanjing.
After reading the secret letter, more than sixty scholars suddenly became angry.
"What on earth do these Lords of the Pavilion want to do?"
"Can't you see it yet? They want to cut off Xuzhou's money and food!"
"That's right, Zhang Youyu has no good intentions when he takes over the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs really lets the Ministry of Household Affairs take over, how many percent of the money and food shipped to Xuzhou will be left? How many percent of the money and grain will be left if officials disappear one by one along the way?"
"How many percent? You think too highly of them. The remaining 10% will be used to burn incense. _o_m "
"They want to starve to death our scholar camp, starve to death the Holy Emperor, and starve to death the millions of soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou City! The minds of the Dukes in the DPRK are so vicious, are we just a bargaining chip in their hands?"
"The bullshit pavilion elders and bullshit ministers are all just silverfish! They are national traitors!"
"The reason why our Ming Dynasty has fallen to this point is because of these people."
"What do you mean by these people? They are the Donglin Party, and they are caused by the Donglin Party. These silverfish are not even as good as the Eunuch Party. The Eunuch Party can still refuse to establish slaves outside the customs, but since they came to power, the Ming Dynasty has been in trouble.
Yu Xia, lost Liaodong and lost Western Liaoning, lost western Liaoning and lost Shanhaiguan, and finally lost the entire north, and now he wants to bury Xuzhou too!"
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be let go. It is better to raise troops and fight back to Nanjing to clear the emperor's side!"
"Are you stupid? Why do you want to know who you are? Your Majesty is in Xuzhou, and he is a traitor to the country!"
"Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, these silverfish have filled the lake with anger. To kill the national traitors, we must kill the national traitors!"
Looking at the more than sixty scholars who were furious and filled with righteous indignation, Chongzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that this move was right again. From this moment on, the scholar camp will completely draw a clear line with the Donglin Party.
Scholars like Huang Zongxi, Zhang Huangyan, Gu Yanwu and others who were inextricably linked to the Donglin Party also drew a clear line.
Because the Donglin Party's image of "the people are upright and prosperous" has collapsed and has disappeared.
After the collapse of the Donglin Party, his Chongzhen Imperial Party will rise on the ruins of the Donglin Party.
The sixty-odd scholar leaders in front of them, and the more than six thousand Qinwang scholars behind them, will from now on become the backbone of the imperial party without looking back!
"Quiet!" Chongzhen waved, and the hall became quiet.

Chapter 274 The Rise of the Imperial Party
After a pause, Chongzhen continued: "Things have their own priorities. Although the Donglin Party's actions are irritating, we cannot be on the same level as them. If we abandon Xuzhou at this time and return to Nanjing to clear out some national traitors, then we will
It can only benefit the slave builders, and we must never do such self-destructive behavior."
Zheng Sen said: "But if these national traitors are not eradicated first, the rear will be unstable. If the rear is unstable, chaos will inevitably occur on the front."
"What Brother Damu said is absolutely true." Zheng Zunqian also agreed, "The Donglin Party's failure to seize power this time will never give up. It will definitely launch a second or even third conspiracy. Now Mr. Shi Ge has given up.
As the chief minister, no one in the court can control these national thieves of the Donglin Party, so sooner or later the Ministry of Internal Affairs will fall into their control."
"That's right." Zheng Sen continued, "If the Ministry of Internal Affairs falls into the hands of those people, Xuzhou's money and food will inevitably be cut off. Therefore, it is meaningless for the Holy Spirit and us to stick to Xuzhou any longer. It is better to return to Nanjing as soon as possible to eliminate the national traitors.
, after we have cleared out the national traitors in the court, we can then launch the Northern Expedition."
"These are not the most worrying things." Jin Xuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "The most troublesome thing is that if the Donglin Party colludes with Jiannu, Jiannu only needs to send a partial army south to capture
Nanjing, in this way, your Majesty and we will truly be homeless, and Xuzhou's persistence will be meaningless."
"Don't worry about it.@京京/书馆*Update~~" Chongzhen said with a smile.
"People like the Donglin Party do everything possible, but there are still differences between Chinese and foreigners. At least now it is impossible for them to secretly collude with Jiannu."
