Ning Wan said, "Sir He Luo, is the news reliable?"

He Luohui said: "It should be no problem, because the news was provided by the Fan family."

Hong Chengchou said: "If it was the news provided by the Fan family, there should be no problem."

The Fan family mentioned by Hong Chengchou and He Luohui are Fan Yongdou, one of the eight major Shanxi merchants.

As early as the old slave period, Fan Yongdou and other eight major Shanxi merchants began to secretly sell grain to Jiannu. The few grain shortages of Jiannu were able to survive by Fan Yongdou and his smuggling of grain.

In exchange, Jiannu would hand over the gold, silver and jewelry that he robbed from the robbery when he entered the pass and ransacked to the 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 again.

However, so far, the intelligence network of the eight major Shanxi merchants in Jiangnan is not strong enough, so they can only provide some unconfidential information.

I only know about this party struggle.

But this is still enough to help Jiannu senior management make accurate judgments.@大家/Shuge·No mistake~~

He Luohui said: "Master, why did the Donglin Party help me with the Qing Dynasty?"

Dorgon waved his hand and said, "The Donglin Party does not want to help us, but just wants to use our Qing army to eradicate Chongzhen for them."

"What the master said is very true." Hong Chengchou said, "Chongzhen first used iron fist methods to purify Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and Huang Degong's border troops, and then expanded them into 30 border troops. Then he sent a condemnation of the king's military to Huai'an to train the village warriors. His military power was getting bigger and bigger, and he had to build equal fields in Guide, so he would naturally be afraid of the Donglin Party."

He Luohui said: "Chongzhen is the emperor, equivalent to the master. Isn't it normal for him to control military power?"

Fan Wencheng said: "It is indeed the case 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 officials of the Donglin Party, hope that the emperor can be honest and puppet."

"Be a puppet?" He Luo said, "Let the emperor be a puppet?"

"What the civil officials in the Ming Dynasty pursued for generations was to make the emperor a puppet or tablet." Hong Chengchou said, "because Confucianism advocates the co-governance of scholars and officials."

Ning Wan, I said: "The so-called literati and official governance is actually the civil servants who have the final say."

He Luohui said: "Hi, to put it bluntly, it's better to compete for power. The emperor wants to infringe on the power of civil servants, and civil servants also want to limit the power of the emperor. In the end, if they can't handle it, they will attack each other. So who lost this time?"

Hong Chengchou said: "At present, it seems that he has a draw, no one wins, and no one loses."

Ning Wan said, "But if Chongzhen was killed by my Qing soldiers, it would be that the Donglin Party won."

Dorgon knocked on the table and suddenly asked: "Three gentlemen, can we contact the Donglin Party and secretly reach a tacit understanding with it? After all, we have a common goal and we all want Chongzhen to die!"

"Master, don't even think about this." Hong Chengchou said, "The people of the Donglin Party are all pedantic people. Although they want to limit the emperor's power, the emperor does not cooperate and even dares to directly murder the emperor, they are also determined to defend the difference between China and the barbarians and are extremely hostile to our Qing Dynasty, so they will definitely not jointly deal with Chongzhen with us."

"What a pity." Dorgon sighed when he heard this, "What a great opportunity."

Hong Chengchou said: "Actually, there is no regret. The Donglin Party members are just a group of pedantic and incompetent people. They are not enough to make things worse. Cooperating with them may cause great things to be ruined."

Fan Wencheng said: "And the Imperial Party and the Donglin Party in the Southern Ming Dynasty have completely broken up. Although this time it was tied, this does not mean that the two sides can be at peace. There will definitely be more and more fierce conflicts between the two sides later, which will definitely affect the support of the Southern Ming to Xuzhou."

"What Xiandou said is very much." Ning Wan nodded and said.

"The party struggles in Nanjing can only make it worse for Chongzhen and Xuzhou's Ming army."

Hong Chengchou said: "I have known before that there are only three months of food and food in Xuzhou. If the food and grass from Nanjing cannot enter Xuzhou, it will not exceed six months at most, and Xuzhou will inevitably be defeated."

Dorgon nodded happily and said, "Then let's wait and see."

...

Almost. (This chapter is not finished!)

Chapter 274 The rise of the imperial party

At the same time, Chongzhen also learned about the news of the party dispute.

The news was sent in by Yang Ponu. This was his third time to send a letter to Xuzhou. However, compared with the previous two times, this time the water was much easier because the water temperature was higher.

The news that Chongzhen knew was much more detailed than that of 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 and Jiang Yueguang and other Donglin party members to take this opportunity to launch a party struggle. What surprised Chongzhen was that Shi Kefa actually turned against him.

Chongzhen thought that there would be officials who would secretly help the Imperial Party, and even thought that the Donglin Party would fall apart, but he really didn't expect that Shi Ke would rebel.

Shi Kefa is the leader of the Donglin Party.

Now he actually became an imperial party? This is really surprising.

What surprised Chongzhen even more was that Shi Kefa actually had the courage to forge edicts. Others didn't know it, but Chongzhen knew very well that he had not left any secret edicts for Meng Zhaoxiang and the others, so this could only be a forge edict.

Shi Kefa's forgery of the imperial edict directly made the Donglin Party's intentions fail.

So now, the Office of the Interior is still firmly in the hands of the Imperial Party.

The Donglin Party members could not control the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and could not eliminate the money and food in Xuzhou.

Chongzhen could completely imagine how anxious the Donglin Party members in Nanjing should have at this time?

But no matter how anxious you are, it is useless. You can’t even grasp the opportunity you give me. Who can I blame? I can only "help" you here.

If the Donglin Party fails to succeed, Chongzhen's next plan will be affected, which will weaken the hatred and opposition of the Donglin Party by the King of Kings.

But at this time the arrow is already on the string, so it is impossible not to fire it.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Chongzhen immediately ordered Wang Chengen to say, "Wang Dalian, summon all the scholars!"

In addition to Yan Yingyuan, Huang Zongxi and others who went out, Wang Chengen quickly summoned more than 60 scholars who stayed in Xuzhou to Chongzhen's journey.

Chongzhen asked the scholars to read the secret letter sent from Nanjing.

After reading the secret letter, more than 60 scholars were immediately angry.

"What do these elders and ministers want to do?"

"Can't you see it yet? They want to cut off the money and food in Xuzhou!"

"Yes, Zhang Youyu was not kind-hearted to take over the Office of the Internal Affairs Office. If the Office of the Internal Affairs Office really lets the Ministry of Revenue take over, how many of the money and grain transported to Xuzhou will be left? Have the officials along the way floated layer by layer, how many more can they be left?"

"How many? You look down on them too highly. The remaining one will burn the incense. _o_m "

"They want to starve our Shizi Camp to death, starve the emperor to death, and starve more than one million soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou City! The thoughts of the nobles in the court are so cruel. If we are just bargaining chips in their hands?"

"What a shit master, a shit master, it's all swindfish! It's a traitor!"

"The reason why my Ming Dynasty fell to this point today is because of these people."

"What are these people? It's the Donglin Party, the Donglin Party, which are the worms. These worms are not even as good as the eunuch party. The eunuch party can still resist Jiannu outside the pass, but since they became political, the Ming Dynasty has lost Liaodong and western Liaoning, and Shanhaiguan in western Liaoning. In the end, even the entire north is thrown away. Now I want to destroy Xuzhou too!"

"Master, you must not give up this matter. It is better to raise your troops to return to Nanjing and clear your lord!"

"Are you stupid? What kind of lords are you in Xuzhou? You are killing traitors!"

"Oh yes, yes, yes, all of them have made these sworms angry. If you kill traitors, you must kill traitors!"

Looking at the more than 60 scholars who were furious and indignant, 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. Even scholars like Huang Zongxi, Zhang Huangyan, Gu Yanwu and others who have close ties with the Donglin Party will also draw a clear line.

Because the image of the Donglin Party’s “Zhongzhengxiang Dynasty” has collapsed and has disappeared.

After the fall of the Donglin Party, his Chongzhen imperial party would rise up from the ruins of the Donglin Party.

The sixty chief scholars in front of them, as well as the more than 6,000 princes behind them, will become the backbone of the imperial party without hesitation!

"Silent!" Chongzhen waved and the hall calmed down.

(This chapter is not finished!)

Chapter 274 The rise of the imperial party

After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "The matter has priority. Although the practice of the Donglin Party is annoying, we cannot be aware of them. If we give up Xuzhou at this time and return to Nanjing to clear up some traitors, then we can only make the Jiannu fisherman profit. We must not do such self-harm."

Zheng Sen said: "But if these traitors are not eliminated first, the rear will be unstable, and the rear will be unstable will inevitably lead to chaos."

"Brother Damu said very well." Zheng Zunqian also echoed, "The Donglin Party will never give up this failure to seize power. It will definitely launch a second or even a third conspiracy next time. Now that the Grand Master Shi has already dismissed his position as chief minister, there are no one in the court that can control these traitors of the Donglin Party. Sooner or later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs falls into the control of those people."

"No," Zheng Sen continued, "If the Ministry of Internal Affairs falls into his hands, the money and food in Xuzhou will inevitably be cut off. Therefore, it is meaningless for the Emperor and us to hold on to Xuzhou again. It is better to return to Nanjing as soon as possible to eliminate the traitors. After cleaning up the traitors in the court, we will launch an army to fight the north."

"These are not the most worrying things." Jin Xuan, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "The most troublesome thing is that if the Donglin Party and Jiannu collude together, Jiannu just needs to send a side army to the south to capture Nanjing. In this way, the emperor and us are truly homeless, and Xuzhou's persistence will be meaningless."

"Don't worry about this.@大小/Shuge* Update~~" Chongzhen said with a sneer.

"The people of the Donglin Party do everything they can, but there is still a difference between China and the barbarians. At least now they are completely unable to secretly associate with Jiannu."
