Outside the city, in a mansion on the edge of Wenhu Lake, many southeast gentry gathered.At the beginning of December, a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the lake, snowflakes fell on the lake, birds and animals disappeared, and the land was desolate.In a room by the lake, Qian Qianyi stood in front of the window, looking at the snow outside the window, staring at the frozen lake, and chanting: "Nine winters bear frost and snow, and six flies are not responsible." ”At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in wealth walked up behind Qian Qianyi and said, "Teacher, the guests are here!"
”Qian Qianyi came back to his senses, nodded, and Liu Ru, who was wearing men's clothes, said, "Please come in!"
”As he spoke, he helped Qian Qianyi, walked to the main seat and sat down, handed him a hollow copper stove to warm his hands, and hugged him on his lap.Qian Qianyi couldn't help but sigh: "When you get old, you can't stand it when the weather is cold." ”Liu said: "The two capitals have not been restored, the slaves have not been removed, and the husband still needs to help the Ming Dynasty recover the rivers and mountains, why is it old at this time!"
”Qian Qianyi looked at him, a more manly lady than him, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, "It's a pity that Hedong Jun was born as a daughter." ”"Teacher!"
At this time, the fat student returned to the hall and bowed.Behind him, more than a dozen gentry came, some wearing Taoist clothes and square scarves, some still wearing horse coats and full hats.When everyone entered the lobby, they bowed down in unison and said, "Mu Zhai Gong!
”The Donglin Party has had a bad reputation in recent years, but this bad reputation is actually relative.The Donglin Party has been in charge of the political situation of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, and has sought huge benefits for the southeast gentry and merchants.People with lofty ideals in the world are disgusted with the Donglin Party for provoking the three major cases of Nandu, shaking the foundation of the rule of the Hongguang Dynasty, and then instigating Zuo Liangyu to rebel in the east, intending to seize the power of Nanjing, as a result, the Manchu Qing invaded the south, and the situation was out of the control of the Donglin Party, which made the Hongguang Imperial Court completely collapse, so that the Ma Party and Donglin had nothing to play, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was cheapened in vain.Now it seems that Donglin's instigation of Zuo Zhendong's rebellion was undoubtedly a foolish decision, but at that time, this decision actually had a mass base and won the support of the vast majority of Donglin Party and Jiangnan gentry.The Jiangbei warlord forces represented by Ma Ruan's party seized power in Nanjing, and the southeastern gentry naturally hoped that the Donglin Party, representing their interests, would be able to regain power.Nowadays, the gentry in the southeast, in fact, a large part of the people hope that the Donglin Party can make a comeback, or a new party will emerge to speak for them and safeguard their interests.However, their demands, with the Qing generation, have never been realized, and it was not until the late Qing and the Republic of China that they re-entered the political arena.At this time, the Donglin Party collapsed, but Qian Qianyi's influence was still there, and many southeastern gentry still looked to him.The old man was imprisoned by the Manchu Qing several times in the past few years, but he was all fished out, so he and many protégés reconciled with the old man, and operated a rescue and lock, otherwise Lao Qian would have died in prison.Therefore, Qian Qianyi summoned the gentry and businessmen near Wujin.Seeing everyone's respectful salute, Qian Qianyi seemed to have found a little bit of Donglin boss's feeling, power is the best aphrodisiac for men, even if it is a seventy-year-old bad old man like Qian Qianyi."
You're all here."
Qian Qianyi smiled and stretched out his hand, "Take a seat!"
”The crowd bowed and then sat down.At this time, one of them spoke: "Mu Zhai Gong summoned me and others today, I don't know what it is for?"
”Qian Qianyi invited everyone to drink tea, and then said slowly: "The Ming Dynasty restored Hangzhou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince supervised 100,000 divisions, attacked Huzhou, Tiger Marquis Li Chengdong supervised 30,000 divisions, attacked Ningguo, and Zhao Dashuai of the East China Sea was attacking Wujin."
You know all this!
”These are the recent major events in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and everyone is a gentry and businessman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, no more than ordinary people, so they are naturally particularly concerned about the situation.The situation is changing, and ordinary people still farm the land, but they have a big family and a big business, and if they stand on the wrong team, they will have to pay the price, and they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and even their families will be ruined.The eight major families of the Jin merchants in Shanxi, because they stood on the side of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, have developed rapidly in recent years, and their influence is all over the north, not counting, they also extend their hands to the south of the Yangtze River, control the salt industry of the two Huai, and meddle in the industry and commerce of the south of the Yangtze River.The originally powerful Lianghuai salt merchants were slaughtered in Yangzhou, and the southeastern gentry also suffered heavy losses because of the Qing army's southward movement.Under the tragic lesson, it is naturally impossible for these southeastern gentry not to understand the current situation, and they are afraid that they will suffer a major blow after standing on the wrong side."
These things will be cleared by themselves!"
The gentleman replied, but there was no look of joy on his face.Qian Qianyi continued: "In the battle of Fujian, the Qing army was defeated, and Duoduo ended in depression.Recently, in the battle of Fuhang, Zhang Cunren was beheaded again.The old man looked at the current situation and thought that the gentry in the southeast should do their part for the court!
”"Mu Zhaigong, did you decide so quickly?"
A gentleman dressed in a full suit and wearing a full hat was a little surprised.Qian Qianyi said: "Now in the land of Hudong, I thought that the East China Sea Zhao Dashuai had recovered, and the old man thought that there should be a decision.If it is late, the Ming Dynasty will recover Nanjing, how can there be a place for us in the imperial court?
”"However, according to the news Yu received, the Qing court is transferring troops from Huguang and Jiangxi, and there are also Qing troops in Xuzhou going south."
The gentry in full clothes said worriedly: "If the Qing army reinforcements arrive, it is unknown what the situation will be, and if the Ming army is defeated by the Qing army, the rest will be implicated."
Yu and the others are standing in line now, whether they are in a hurry. ”Another gentleman also said, "Yes!
News came from Beijing that Mr.
Chen had contacted many southern officials and was ready to go to the Qing court.If Chen's words are adopted by the Qing court, the southern party officials will be reused by the Qing court, and then I will be able to influence the Qing court.At this time, stand in line, whether you are a little impatient. ”"Mu Zhaigong, in recent years, how much blood has been shed in our Jiangnan.Zhengxi was defeated, and more than 30 gentry were involved in Jiangnan, and nearly 1,000 people were killed.Taihu Wu Xiang was defeated, and the Qing army arrested the gentry who secretly delivered money and food to the righteous army, and more than 60 households were implicated. ”Another man said in a deep voice.In recent years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty adopted a high-pressure rule in Jiangnan, and all those suspected of participating in the anti-Qing Dynasty were brutally killed.The brutal killing made the southeastern gentry a little scared.Qian Qianyi didn't expect that everyone's opinions would be so high, and he couldn't help but leak an angry look.Over the years, he has had many students who participated in the anti-Qing Dynasty, and many people have come to persuade him, and his reaction is similar to that of the people in front of him, so that many protégés cannot be persuaded and say that they will cut off relations with him when they leave.Now these protégés who are committed to the cause of carrying the Qing Dynasty, the death of the dead, and the exile of exile, let Qian Qianyi finally understand the mood of the protégés in his heart when he faced the group of gentry in front of him.At this time, Liu Rushi, who had not spoken on the side, saw that he was sober in the hall, and finally spoke: "140,000 people are disarmed, and none of them are men." ”Everyone couldn't help frowning when they heard this, their faces were ugly, and someone said, "What does Mrs.
Qian mean by this?"
”Liu said: "The soldiers of Zhao Guogong are coming to Wujin and threatening Nanjing, and the recovery is just around the corner.You are all men, if you don't seize such a good opportunity, do you want to be a cow and a horse all the time?
