Chapter 374: The Southeast Gentry


The name Qian Qianyi is not unfamiliar to Zhao Ming, and when he first came to Nanjing, he had seen his mansion.However, Zhao Ming had only contact with him, and he hadn't even met once, until he had seen his concubine Liu Ru at a glance.Qian Qianyi's impression of Zhao Ming was not good, after all, when Nanjing fell, Zhao Ming, He Wencheng and Zheng Sen escaped, and Qian Qianyi's scalp was itchy, so he shaved his hair and surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.It is said that soon after Qian Qianyi surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, he went to Beijing to work as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, but within a few months, he came back in disgrace and lived in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River.Qian Qianyi, as the leader of the Donglin Party, the largest party in the Ming Dynasty, and the leader of Jiangnan Shilin, has a great influence in Jiangnan.For people like him, the Manchus were naturally not at ease, so they sent secret agents to monitor day and night, and it is said that in recent years, Qian Qianyi has spent almost all of his time in Manchu prisons.After the Donglin Party fell apart, many of Qian Qianyi's protégés and friends participated in the anti-Qing Dynasty, and as a teacher and friend, Qian Qianyi's seclusion in his hometown was naturally not peaceful.Yesterday, a certain student rebelled, and the Manchu Qing wanted to arrest him for questioning, and today, the original old friend participated in the anti-Qing uprising, and Qian Qianyi naturally had to be implicated.When Zhao Ming heard the news of Qian Qianyi, almost all of them were about him being imprisoned, but he didn't expect him to suddenly appear outside the camp.Ding Weiyue, hearing the words, clenched his fists, and was about to turn around and leave.As soon as he left, Zhao Ming buried his head in thought for a moment, and suddenly took off a shoe, wore socks, and ran out of the tent in an untidy robe.To a certain extent, Zhao Ming has an enmity with the Donglin Party, but Qian Qianyi has a great influence in the southeast, and Zhao Ming still decided to appear respectful on the surface, after all, he does not suffer.The soldiers of the Ming army outside the tent were all surprised when they suddenly saw Zhao Ming running out in disheveled clothes.At this moment, Ding Weiyue led an old man with gray hair, a thin face, but very bright eyes, and a beautiful woman in a green skirt to meet him.There is a way that the military camp stays for three years, and the sow races the sable.Although Zhao Ming's army is not inconspicuous in seeing women, there are girls in the medical officer team and the military art team, but after all, it is not common, and it is not as eye-catching as the beautiful woman in front of him.At this time, when the soldiers in the battalion saw Qian Qianyi and his party, they couldn't help but look sideways, and the soldiers who were standing guard and on duty moved their eyes accordingly, and the soldiers who were walking and shuttling stopped one after another.Zhao Ming ran out and saw a group of people, his eyes were also stunned, and he felt amazed, and then his eyes fell on Qian Qianyi's body."

This is Mu Zhai Gong!"

Zhao Ming stroked his palms and laughed.Qian Qianyi was also stunned for a moment when he saw Zhao Ming stepping out to greet him, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "The old man is just a cloth cloth, how can he work to welcome the country!"

”On the side, Liu Ru looked at Zhao Ming, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but let out a chuckle, and he also bowed slightly, "I heard the prestige of the Guogong earlier, and I saw the Guogong today, and my real name is worthy of it." ”Zhao Ming looked at Liu Ruis and felt that this woman's words and deeds were not ordinary.Zhao Ming knew that she was a little embarrassed when she saw her pretending posture, and said to Qian Qianyi: "Mu Zhai Gong is the leader of Shilin, he is highly respected, and when he came to my camp today, Zhao was overjoyed.Come inside please!

”Zhao Ming led Qian Qianyi into the big tent, let Qian Qianyi take the seat, and he returned to the screen and changed into clothes.Not long after, Zhao Ming walked out wearing a python robe, a jade belt around his waist, a crown of hair on his head, and leather boots on his feet, and sat behind the handsome case."

Mrs.

Qian, please take a seat too!"

Zhao Ming saw Liu Ru standing behind Qian Qianyi, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand.At that moment, Zhao Ming ordered someone to serve tea, took a sip of each, and then continued to ask: "Mu Zhai Gong entered my camp today, there must be something to teach me!"

”Qian Qianyi listened to him ask, put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "The old man is in Changshu, and he was overjoyed to learn that the prince raised Zhejiang troops to recover Hangzhou and the land of Yue, and the prince of the country re-entered the Yangtze River and collected the land east of Hudong.Since the change of Jiashen country, the land of Jiangdong has been bullied for several years, and today the Guogong regained Hudong in one fell swoop, and the soldiers pointed to Jinling, which can be described as outstanding meritorious service, and is the head of all the marshals and ministers!

”When Zhao Ming heard this, he was still very comfortable, Qian Qianyi deserved to be the leader of the literary world, and he was quite in place.The Ming Dynasty now has a lot of marshals, many of whom can fight habitually, and Qian Qianyi said that his merits are the first of many marshals and ministers, and there is no doubt that he is close.Although Zhao Ming felt that this was a fact in itself, Lao Tzu was indeed the head of the marshals, and he didn't need your money old man to talk nonsense, but he still said humbly: "Fighting against Jiannu and recovering the lost territory is the duty of this marshal, and it is a matter of duty."

If you want to talk about meritorious service, there are still many people who surpass me, and I dare not be the first of the marshals, so I will be the second of the marshals!

”Proud and complacent people are easy to be hated, Zhao Ming decided to be modest, Liu Ruyi, who was sitting on the side, smiled lightly, perhaps because he felt that the Zhao handsome in front of him was more humorous.Zhao Ming also glanced at her, sat up for no reason, and put on a mighty appearance."

What a thing!"

Qian Qianyi exclaimed, "If the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty are like the princes of the country, why worry about the immortality of the slaves!"

”Isn't this your old turtle grandson not leading a good head?

Zhao Ming secretly said in his heart, he was already a little impatient with Qian Qianyi's pursuit, "Mu Zhai Gong is here, won't he just sing a lawsuit for me?"

”Qian Qianyi felt that Zhao Ming didn't know this, so he immediately got to the point, "The old man is here, firstly, he is indeed congratulating the country, and secondly, I heard that the prince is going to attack Wujin County, hoping to help the prince a little bit, and also contribute to the recovery of the rivers and mountains." ”Zhao Ming said, "Oh?

How can Mu Zhai Gong help me?

”Qian Qianyi smiled and said: "The old man is from Changzhou, and in this place of Changzhou, he is quite famous.If the Duke of Guo allows, the old man is willing to repair a letter and contact the old in the city for the Duke of Guo.At that time, it will not be difficult for the Guogong to cooperate with the inside and outside, and take Wujin County!

”The relationship between the gentry in the southeast was close, and through marriages, teachers and students, classmates, and fellow villagers, a large net was compiled between various households, and a powerful interest group was formed.After the fall of Jiangnan, this interest group was divided, and some people surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and in the Manchu court, they spoke for the southeast, in a vain attempt to control the situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and safeguard and guarantee the interests of the southeastern gentry.This part of the people, represented by Chen Mingxia, was a Sinicized faction in the Manchu court, hoping to transform the Manchu court into a Sinicized regime like the Northern Wei Dynasty.Of course, in history, Chen Mingxia's faction did not succeed, and Chen Mingxia was also killed by the Manchus.The other part was killed in the anti-Qing struggle, or left Jiangnan, followed Zhu Lujian and Zhu Yihai, and continued the anti-Qing struggle.This part of the people is represented by Chen Zilong, Xia Wanchun and others.There are also some people who neither did anything for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, nor did they leave their hometowns to carry out the struggle against the Qing Dynasty, and they were represented by Qian Qianyi and others.Politically, they supported the Sinicization faction in the Manchu court, supported Chen Mingxia and others, hoping to protect their own interests through their control of the Manchu court, and at the same time, they also secretly supported the anti-Qing forces, hoping that the Ming army could restore their power after recovering the lost territory.Although the southeastern gentry are now divided, the Donglin Party has been in power for more than ten years, and the southeast gentry have expanded their power for more than ten years under its protection, and they are still very strong.Zhao Ming squinted his eyes when he heard the words and said: "The army of the guard general Li Benshen is out of Gaojie Town, Xuzhou, and the soldiers and horses are very elite, who does Mu Zhai Gong want to find as an internal response?"

”Qian Qianyi smiled and said: "The green battalion garrisons, government officials, shop heads, shop employees, and gentry guards in the city can all be used as internal responsibilities of the national government. ”Zhao Ming couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "In this way, then I will have Lao Mu Zhaigong!"

”At that moment, Zhao Ming and Qian Qianyi discussed for a while before letting Qian Qianyi leave.At this time, Liu Ru helped Qian Qianyi out of the big tent, suddenly stopped, stood outside the big tent, glanced back, and asked with some doubts: "Does Hedongjun feel that Guogong is a little familiar?"
