Huang Degong walked on the street, looking at the bustling crowds on both sides, listening to various hawking sounds, but he felt an illusory feeling in his heart. His headquarters is in Zhenzhou, not far from Yangzhou City. Although the prosperity of Zhenzhou is far inferior to that of Yangzhou, the people are still wealthy, and they all live in peace, but they don’t know how long this peace can last.

Unlike the other three towns, who were born into bandits or from generals, Huang Degong really started with small soldiers. He killed two Qing troops for the first time and received a reward of fifty taels. At that time, the Liaodong governor Xiong Tingbi loved his bravery and chose him as his personal soldier. He started with his personal soldiers. In Liaodong, Huang Degong made guerrilla step by step with his military merits.

Later, due to the rise of civil rebellions in Shaanxi, Huang Degong was transferred to the mainland and was appointed as the deputy general of the governor of the five provinces Xiong Wencan. Huang Degong fought bravely for the first place in every battle. In the Baojialing battle, Huang Degong almost forced Zhang Xianzhong to desperate. Later, although Zhang Xianzhong escaped, his adopted son, Ma Wu, the King of the World, and the two powerful generals of the Three Harriers, were captured and killed by Huang Degong. Huang Degong was therefore named the crown prince's grand tutor and promoted to the rank of general.

However, no matter how hard Huang Degong tried, the Qing Dynasty outside the pass became stronger and stronger, and the bandits inside the pass were suppressing more and more. In the end, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was also captured by bandits. The news of the defeat of bandits came. The remaining ministers of the Ming Dynasty all blasted the bandits to celebrate, but Huang Degong was extremely worried. He had fought with the Qing army for many years, so he naturally knew that the strength of the Qing army was far stronger than that of the bandits. Once the Qing army went south, the Ming army, which could not even be defeated by bandits, would the Ming army use to fight against the Qing army.

Now all the civil and military officials in the court are desperately advocating the use of the enemy to suppress the enemy. Huang Degong just watched coldly. He is not a fool. If he opposed it alone, these officials in the court would immediately take him to the front line to launch an attack on the Qing army, and finally cut off reinforcements, leaving him with a desperate ending. He has seen many such things. Xiong Tingbi and Xiong Wencan, whom he followed, died of the charges of civil servants. Although Lu Xiangsheng died of fighting hard, he actually died at the hands of Yang Sichang. Huang Degong had to be afraid of these civil servants who were shaking their pens.

There was a noise in front of me, and the sound of robbery and murder came faintly. The crowd scattered, and the streets suddenly seemed to be in full swing.

When there was a robbery and murder in the streets of the capital, Huang Degong frowned and said to the personal soldiers next to him: "What's going on? Go and see."

"Yes, Marquis." A personal soldier who received the order squeezed out the chaotic crowd and quickly moved forward. After a while, the personal soldier returned to report: "Mr. Marquis, it was Gao Jie's personal soldier who caused trouble on the street. Several personal soldiers forced a piece of silk from a silk shop and did not pay for money. The two sides fought. After Gao Jie's personal soldiers moved the weapons, the silk shop softly dressed and paid for a few pieces of silk. It was fine now."

Huang Degong has also heard of the domineering soldiers of the three towns in the capital. If it weren't for his harsh military discipline, some people would have followed suit. He glanced at his personal soldiers. Some were disgusted, while others showed a yearning look. Those who could open silk shops were not rich or noble, and in the end they had to bow their heads under the knife. Huang Degong didn't know whether he was glad for himself or should be sad. Fortunately, his 30,000 people under his command were elites who had been fighting for many years, and his combat power was the highest among the four towns. What's sad is that the court had reached this point, and could it be saved?

"Hmph, these garbage will ruin the reputation of the official army. Marquis, should you teach them a lesson?" a personal soldier said angrily.

"Yes, Marquis, teach them a lesson." Whether it is disgust or yearning, Huang Degong's personal soldiers spoke surprisingly consistently. His grandmother's, why can they openly rob the streets, but they can't.

Huang Degong and Gao Jie's resident are similar, and Gao Jie's soldiers often cross the boundaries. Even if there were no conflicts in the past, they would also lead to conflicts. Moreover, Huang Degong and Gao Jie were not in a match, so the conflict naturally deepened.

"Stop talking nonsense, this matter will naturally be handled by the five cities." Huang Degong stopped the noise of his personal soldiers. If the personal soldiers of the two towns fought in Nanjing, the vibrations that could be imagined. At that time, neither Gao Jie nor him had a way out. Huang Degong did not want to intensify the conflict between the two towns to such a level for the time being.

A small yellow gate suddenly came out from the side. He was about to approach Huang Degong but was stopped by Huang Degong's personal soldiers. The small yellow gate shouted anxiously: "Marquis Jingnan, our family finally found you. Summon the emperor. Come and follow our family into the palace."

"The Emperor summoned me?" Huang Degong waved his hand and signaled his personal soldiers to let the little yellow gate approach him: "Do you know what's going on?"

"This is not what our family knows. Please follow our family to the palace quickly and don't let the emperor stay for a long time."

"Okay, I will enter the palace immediately."

"I will meet the emperor, long live my emperor! Long live my emperor! Long live my life!" Huang Degong bowed his head and was extremely surprised. When he entered the palace just now, there were many guards outside, but there was only the emperor and a eunuch in the huge palace. Judging from the scene, something big happened.

"I will sit down."

"Long live thanks!" After Huang Degong got up, he pulled a seat without waiting for the eunuch to bring the chair, and filled the entire chair with his butt, which was different from the civil servant sitting halfway. Li Qi, who was with the emperor, curled his lips, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Huang Aiqing, there are some memorials here, so I can take a look first." After Wang Fu finished speaking, he handed Li Qi a few memorials in his hand and asked him to hand them to Huang Degong.

Huang Degong took over the memorial and immediately looked it through. He read the memorials very well and quickly finished reading several memorials. This was not a memorial from an important minister in the court. One was written by Xiong Rulin, the Ministry of Revenue Service, Chen Zilong, the Ministry of War, and the other was written by Zhang Zhengchen, the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The three of them came from three departments, and they happened to be of the seventh rank. The contents of their memorials were similar, which was exactly the opposite of what the court discussed about pursuing the enemy. They advocated that the current situation was stable and stable, and the court should be enterprising and restored the two provinces of Henan and Shandong first.

Restoring Henan and Shandong provinces means facing the Qing Dynasty head-on, which is undoubtedly unhappy with the civil and military officials of the court. These people seem to have no idea that if Henan and Shandong Ming Dynasty do not occupy it, the Qing Dynasty will take it, and in the end, they will inevitably encounter the Qing Dynasty. Once the Qing army breaks through the defense of Huainan, Nanjing will face the exposed soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.

It was not that no one in the Ming Dynasty saw this, but most people were like ostrichs, thinking that it would be safe to shrink their heads, or they thought it was just the emperor's business. When the Qing army came, as long as they surrendered, they could still maintain their wealth and glory. Only these low-level officials still have their passion and they dared to reveal it without any scruples.

"Your Majesty, I've finished reading it."

"Oh, after reading these memorials, I wonder what my dear feels?"
