The situation completely lost control from the moment Langzen ordered the soldiers to shoot, killing hundreds of scholars, but it aroused more anger. The scholar holding a stick rushed into the Governor's Office, while Langzenzen could only take his personal soldiers and escort his family out of the city and enter the military camp outside the city.

Lang Tsang had soldiers in his hands and could still escape, but the examiners of the Jiangnan provincial examinations who had not yet dispersed in the Gongyuan were not so lucky. He heard that there was a big chaos in the Governor's Office, and the soldiers of the Supervisor even shot and killed people. The people in the Gongyuan immediately fled in all directions, but there were originally a group of scholars who went to the Gongyuan to intercept the chief examiner, and Man Bao and Yuan Peiwen failed to escape.

At first, the two were not beaten, but they were forced to go to the Governor's Office. However, when they arrived at the place, facing the accusations, they bit each other to save their lives, and the bribes were exposed. As for the truth that Yue Le was controlled, no one would believe it at this time. Not only that, they also transferred Lang's test papers from the Nine Sons of Jiangnan before the list was issued, and asked the examiner whether he had been assigned by Yue Le.

This is a problem. The angry scholar did not know the truth at all. Under the intentional guidance of Xu Wei and others, he no longer thought that it was a fraud caused by bribery from the candidates. Instead, Prince An Yue Le and Governor Lang Tsau deliberately targeted the students in Jiangnan, and thus, Jiangning became in chaos.

That night, newspapers, newspaper copying, etc. appeared on Jiangning streets, but the content was no longer just referring to the fraud in this scientific examination, but rather accusing the Qing Dynasty of treating Jiangnan gentry on a large scale. For example, Jiangnan donated taxes more than twice as much as other places, and had a burden of white grain. The scientific examination was unfair to Jiangnan students. Tens of thousands of candidates admitted only more than 100 people, with the lowest admission rate in the country. The Eight Banners could also pass the job and take the exam for the letters. Jiangnan only had the only way to get a scientific examination. In recent years, the Qing court often used this to confiscate the family and destroy the clan in the Daxing Literary Inquisition and Tonghai case in Jiangnan.

In addition to the fact that the gentry in Jiangnan dared to be angry but not speak out, there are many other contents, such as the filthy royal family of the Qing Dynasty. In the court, the powerful monopoly of the government affairs, the traitors took the center, and excluded scholars and southerners. The content is almost copied by copying the public opinion war between the United States over the years against the Qing Dynasty. The most widely circulated newspaper lists various data, which compares the advantages and disadvantages of the Qing Dynasty and the rule of Zhu Ming. In the newspaper, the Qing Dynasty's rule has heavy taxes, no dignity, it is difficult to enter the imperial examination, and it is even more difficult to advance. In short, the result is that the Qing Dynasty is far inferior to Zhu Ming.

Lang Tsun, who escaped from Jiangning City, was immediately besieged by the regiments around Jiangning, and had to run to Suzhou to mobilize troops. However, the threat to Jiangning was completely eliminated. The city was connected, political discussions, and assembly matters were no longer afraid of them.

Let’s talk about Yue Le’s departure from Jiangning and originally wanted to go to Zhenjiang to Huai’an by boat, but after asking, I found out that because of the autumn harvest, the government and civilian ships went to Huguang, Jiangxi and Susong to transport grain, and it was difficult for a while to raise the ships needed by the 3,000 troops.

In fact, only Yue Le knew in the entire Jiangnan that the plan to serve the king was gone. The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty would go south to Jiangnan in the future. He knew very well that the Qingzhou camp had more than 200,000 troops and more than 100,000 war horses. If the emperor went south, not only Shandong, but also the entire northern gentry group would go south to take refuge, and the food needed was to be counted in tens of millions. Therefore, collecting food became Yue Le's most important task in Jiangnan, so he did not dare to be careless.

Thinking that there were many cavalry under his command and it was inconvenient to take a boat, he led his army across the river at the Nanjing Ferry and headed to Huai'an on land. However, when Yue Le left Jiangning, he had a high fever and fever. He first took a boat and then rode a horse. He was bumpy all the way, and he encountered the cold rain since autumn. When he arrived in Yangzhou, his condition worsened.

Seeing that even a horse could not ride, Alkin wanted Yue Le to stay in Yangzhou, but Yue Le refused. King Pingxi and Hong Chengchou were both ministers of the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention that there were remnants of Donglin who interfered, even if it was just a misunderstanding between the two sides, he should have mediated himself.

Yue Le had to get off the horse and take a boat at his advice. Fortunately, the official road heading north was by the canal. Yue Le took a boat and did not delay his command, but he did not know that this serious illness saved his life.

On the night of September 26, Yue Le was still sleeping on the boat. Suddenly he was awakened by a burst of guns. He ran out of the cabin and saw that there was a sea of ​​fire on the left bank. Guns and fighting sounds kept coming. This was the territory of Gaoyou. It was still a long distance from Huai'an where the mutiny occurred. It was impossible for the fight between the riots.

"Master, no, Lord Alkin's army was ambushed by the enemy in Gaoyou. There were so many enemies, besieged from all sides." A wounded Zhang Jing reported his experience.

"Fuck, this is Gaoyou, where did the enemy come from? Do you see clearly what enemy it is?" Yue Le cursed with powerlessness.

Zhang Jing was covered in blood and rolled on the ground, and said to himself: "It's dark and I can't see clearly, but I heard the sound of it, it should be a Shu soldier."

"Is it because he encountered the Pingxi Fan and had a misunderstanding?" Yue Le was puzzled. This place was still too far from Huai'an, but he didn't want it to be like this. From the intercepted letter, he saw Qian Qianyi's anger at Wu Sangui and his son. He was still a little concerned about Pingxi Fan in all this mutiny.

Zhang Jing had already vented more and inhaled less, and said, "No...they were shouting to kill the Tartars and kill the Qing thrones..."

Yue Le wanted to ask again, it was too late. Zhang Jing died on the boat. Yue Le didn't dare to delay, so he asked someone to park the boat in a hidden place and took two people to investigate. As Zhang Jing said, those people spoke in Shu accents, shouted to kill the Tartars, and some people offered their own heads. Whether they believed it or not, it was already a fact that they had pacified the rebellion of Xifan.

"Let's go to Jiangning and arrange troops. You must not let the chaotic troops cross the river!" Yue Le returned to the boat and ordered.

Since the rebellion of Xifan came for himself, the Huai'an mutiny was a conspiracy, and the Huguang soldiers also rebelled. With the empty land of the two Huaihe Rivers, it was difficult to quell, so he had to choose to retreat. It was already daytime to reach Yangzhou. Yue Le actually heard about the great chaos in Jiangning. With just a few words, he learned about the petition and rebellion caused by fraud in the imperial examination. In the rumors, Langzenzo, Manbao and other officials were dead, and there were also news of the rebellion of several militia groups.

Yue Le knew at this time that the Huai'an mutiny and the Jiangning chaos were a conspiracy. Soon, the troops of Xifan and Huguang would go south to Nanjing. If they wanted to quell the rebellion of this scale, only more than 100,000 elite troops from Hangzhou and Liangzhe would be able to do so. He knew that he had to rush to Hangzhou first, otherwise, the rebels might persuade the green camp generals.

"I won't go to Jiangning, nor do I go to Suzhou. I will go to Hangzhou, buy some dry food, change my boat, and change my clothes. Let's go to Hangzhou." Yue Le made up his mind and quietly disappeared into the chaotic Jiangbei.

Yongli couldn't believe that he could wear a dragon robe again, but the fitted dragon robe was so warm, so powerful, so familiar. This seemed to be the one he wore when he was in Kunming.

Wu Yingxiong asked someone to find the largest canal ship and decorated it with red cloth and yellow silk. With the upward priming of the anti-Qing, restoration of the Ming Dynasty and the imperial Ming banners, the fleet headed south under the escort of the army on both sides of the strait. From Huai'an to Yangzhou, many people, merchants and gentry gathered on both sides of the canal. People could not believe that they would see the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty at this moment.

When he arrived in Yangzhou, he had already received news of the chaos in Jiangning. Qian Qianyi took the title of an imperial envoy from Yongli. He went to Jiangning, probably to go to Nanjing Xuanwei. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty personally conquered Jiangnan. Wu Sangui, the lord of the Western vassal state, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, all had the news that the whole city of Nanjing was thrilling.

Soon, the gentry of Nanjing, the gentry of the examination, organized a group of thousands of people to Yangzhou to seek a meeting and welcomed the orthodox Emperor Yongli of the Ming Dynasty to Nanjing. On September 27, Nanjing was restored, and more than ten prefectures in northern and southern Jiangnan issued an edict. The edict was sent to all parts of the country. Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou, who received the news, announced the change of flags and flags, and were loyal to the orthodox Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Ten days ago, Qingzhou.

Outside Qingzhou City, the official road was full of people. In front of the city wall, under the yellow flag, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty handed a Shangfang sword to Zhang Cunren. Zhang Cunren knelt down to thank the emperor for his kindness, held the sword in his hand, jumped up to the horse, and headed south. The kneeling on both sides of the official road were all civil and military officials who followed the army, but Zhang Cunren had never looked at it. He threw away the whip and galloped past, leaving behind a smoke dragon, covering everyone, and coughing sounds.

"This dog slave is so arrogant. I'll deal with him sooner or later!" A Manchu general cursed disdainfully, spitting the thick phlegm mixed with sand on the ground.

"Yes, these Han ministers have become more and more presumptuous. Zhang Cunren is also our Manchu slaves anymore!" Another scolded.

A general said, "This guy used to be quite obedient. When he saw the Manchu official, he nodded and bowed. Why did he look like this now?"

"I've been carried with the Manchurian flag. Like us, I will be my master in the future."

"Bah, what's wrong with Manchuria Banner? We are all slaves to the emperor."

Zhang Cunren has lived a cautious life for many years, and today's presumptuousness is because he will never return once he leaves. Zhang Cunren came out of the west gate of Qingzhou. Long before him, Sukshaha and other groups of Manchu and Mongolian generals led all the elite troops in Qingzhou, including the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, the Eight Banners of the Pass, and some green camps of the outer vassals of Mongolia, have attacked eastward. At the same time, the army left Qingzhou camp and attacked the Linqu camp in the east. The battle had already broken out in full swing.

Zhang Cunren's vanguard army had only 40,000 people, most of which were Green Camp soldiers, including the battalion of Shandong Admiral Gaodi, with 15,000 horses and steps, and the rest were Henan, Zhili and Shanxi guest troops. There was only one army, the 3,000 people of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners led by Gushan Ezhenzhuobutai, which was incompatible with this army.

In addition to the army, Zhang Cunren also had hundreds of letters and clerical offices in his army, and many gentry and local gentry, some of whom had been appointed as the magistrate of Yizhou and the magistrate of Ganyu County. These people were recommended by Zhang Cunren, with the purpose of helping them cooperate with Zhang Cunren and establish the Yizhou camp as soon as possible.

The 40,000 troops had a mixed horse and stance. They set out from Qingzhou and marched for a day and almost entered the territory of Jinan Prefecture. That night, Zhang Cunren summoned the military consultations of guerrilla officers. Zhang Cunren saw that everyone, and said, "Do you know where our army will go this time?"

The generals were all inactive, Gao Di said: "The humble official will naturally obey the orders of the adults, fight hard to defeat the thieves, and rescue the army of the Eight Banners of Linqing."

Now in this situation, everyone knows that Linqing is dead. Whoever saves who dies, but it is his turn. Zhang Cunren naturally knows everyone's thoughts. He smiled and said, "What General Gaodi said is wrong. Our army is not to attack Linqing in the west, but to Yizhou in the south."

"Ah?" For a moment, the generals became noisy and almost overturned the tent.

Zhang Cunren nodded slightly, saying that what he said was true, everyone actually cheered. Zhuobutai snorted coldly and cursed: "What a group of greedy and fearful death. When he heard that he could go south, he could be like this without fighting with the Eastern Band. Haha, if the emperor knew that he would entrust his great responsibilities to you cowards, he might be very angry."

Although Zhuobutai was scolding, everyone was not angry. Speaking of which, among the people in the tent, only Zhuobutai was qualified to know the truth. After all, he was the deputy commander and the military supervisor. Zhang Cunren said: "General Zhuobutai should not be angry, they also know that they were wrong."

As he said that, Zhang Cunren ordered people to expand the map, point to Yizhou, and said another excuse: "Everyone, the emperor secretly ordered our army to deceive the East Bank on the grounds of advancing westward, and then went south to Yizhou, and together with the local gentry, to build the Yizhou camp and open the land transportation line from Yizhou to Huai'an. In this way, the supply line from Jiangnan to Qingzhou will be opened. In this way, the manpower, material resources and financial resources of Jiangnan will continue to reach Qingzhou. Our Qing Dynasty will destroy a corner of the East Bank with the power of the whole country, and the Qing Dynasty will be victorious."

"As the Governor's orders!" The generals all knelt down.

The whole army heard that it was not going to Linqing to die, but went south, and its morale suddenly became high. The next morning, after breakfast, the Qing army went south, with Zhuobutai's Qing cavalry as the vanguard, Gaodi led the rear army, and Zhang Cunren personally led the central army to advance in succession. This move was to confuse the army. Even when they met Zhuobutai's cavalry, they still thought it was the troops advancing east, and the 40,000 army ran for more than ten miles. On the night of September 22, they arrived at the city of Yizhou.
