Chapter 485 The final bottom line
Of course, Xu Xiake did not attack the Jinyiwei.
Attacking the Jinyiwei is illegal. As a civilian security force with the support of Governor Yingtian, Chang Jiejun is responsible for protecting local governments and preventing bandits, he will definitely not break the law...
At least it won't be blatantly illegal.
"That's it?"
Lu Gong said as he looked at the leaving fleet.
After all, Yang Huan took the Li family's 300,000 taels of silver, 10,000 taels of gold, and various valuable materials worth more than 100,000 taels. In addition, nearly 100 prisoners left Chi'an safely, although they actually fled. According to the original plan, they should leave someone here to clean up the Li family's property and then transform it into a royal village, but Yang Huan did not dare after all. He was afraid that he would not live tomorrow night...
This is for sure.
Xu Xiake brought Chang Jiejun over to warn him.
Yang Huan is still very sensible.
This kind of thing is beyond his ability. Unless his uncle comes in person, no one can do it. Xu Xiake uses his arrogant behavior just now to clearly tell him what the bottom line of tolerance of the gentleman Su Song is. It is okay to confiscate the houses. It is a war to dare to militia these houses. Su Song and more than 30,000 fully armed forces around him, and even the elites who have already been partially popular in the plate armor are ready.
"What else can it be? Do you really have to attack the Jinyiwei openly? Isn't that just giving Yang Xin an excuse? Li Zhongda was ultimately a ruthless tyrant, and he ended up with his own fault. No matter what, the word "loyalty cannot be changed."
Xu Xiake said.
He didn't know Wu Changshi's plan.
He was not from Fushe.
In fact, until now, Fushe can only be said to be a small group. It is only a few of the most radical gentry among Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They admire Datong Kingdom and Zheng Zheng the most, and gathered in the name of literature. At first, it was just Zhang Cai, Wu Changshi, Yang Tingshu and other groups initiated it, and then quickly accepted Zheng Zheng's Datong Kingdom thought and began to truly study the root causes of the Ming system. Then the more they studied, the more they felt that Zheng Zheng's Datong Kingdom was the most reasonable, and it could be said to be a good medicine to solve the tyranny of the tyranny, so that it began to spread among young scholars.
Especially after large-scale group training in various places.
They also saw that the gentry was fully capable of forming their own armed forces. What hindered their ideals now was the only pair of tyrants, Tianqi and Yang Xin, who were foolish and treacherous ministers.
What if it weren't for them?
With the current strength of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regiment training, they can completely control Nanjing. There is no official army that can compete with Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Besides, even if there are, they still have to listen to the gentry. At that time, the emperor can force the emperor to accept their transformation of the Datong Kingdom. To put it bluntly, this is a group of adventurers who have just begun to enter the prototype of a political party, have nothing but enthusiasm, and are supported by the fantasy political concepts, much like those passionate young people in history who have just accepted a certain idea and have instantly fallen.
It's like living up to the young man and not disappointing him.
Before this regicide case, they were not even very famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The old gentry didn't care about their small group. There were many literati communities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Similarly, the Datong Kingdom of Zheng Jun was not very popular among the old gentry. The idea of these old antiques was still in the era of Gao Panlong. It can be said that these people were also considered non-mainstream among the gentry, and there were even many old antiques who directly regarded them as madmen who rebelled against the scriptures and destiny.
After all, they are indeed a bit rebellious.
Even with the enlightenment of the gentry Susong, it would be difficult to accept the Datong Kingdom in such a short time.
Of course, they are thinking.
Moreover, this kind of thinking will deepen step by step with the evil deeds of the tyrant monarchs and treacherous ministers, and in the end they will eventually support it.
Moreover, at this time, some ideas of parliamentary system and federal autonomy in the Netherlands had begun to spread. Since the Netherlands is like this, and it is said to be very good, why did the Ming Dynasty have to stick to the unified monarch in one's own words? Why couldn't the Ming Dynasty determine the right to vote based on land and the gentry elect officials to autonomy?
But it is not yet this level.
In short, Fushe is such a small group consisting of a few young radical jinshi with a controversial book as the core.
Not many people cared about them before.
But this time it's OK.
It can be said that it was a hit, and they amazed the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The name Fushe was known to everyone at once.
But it is also too exaggerating to say that the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang support them.
After all, the gentry was a bit horrifying among the gentry. They didn't care that the Jinyiwei copied these houses, but what they cared about was the emperor taking the opportunity to turn the land of these houses into militia areas.
Xu Xiake came to demonstrate to scare Yang Huan to stop them from doing this, and also demonstrated to the emperor with this attitude, but it would definitely not work to attack the Jinyiwei. The demonstration made the emperor feel scared. At that time, the New Donglin Party officials in the court, including Gu Bingqian, were engaged in activities with Wei Zhongxian, which eventually caused the emperor to stop militiaizing these lands due to concerns.
This is their real purpose.
After all, the gentry is still a fellow Taoist who will not die.
It's not theirs who copied it.
On the contrary, if the Apocalypse can prevent the militia of these lands, they can also take the opportunity to divide the land of these companies...
OK, that's shameless.
But, they really do this!
Of course, it was mainly because they were afraid of attracting the demon Yang Xin again.
Yang Huan is not worth mentioning. It is no big deal to kill the Jinyiwei. As for the current regiment training mastered by the gentry, it is okay to really kill the Jinyiwei. The emperor has no military power in Jiangnan. But the problem is that the emperor has a cruel thug under his command. It is no big deal for the Jiangnan official army, and even the Red Turban Army. The gentry's armed forces are stronger, but as long as Yang Xin comes, don't talk about anything. In this case, the gentry is more willing to choose a limited tolerance, as long as it can prevent the militia of these lands. This is their bottom line. It is no big deal for simply raiding homes.
"What's the point of waiting for me?"
Lu Gong said dissatisfiedly.
"Changyin wants to attract Yang Xin to cause trouble in the south of the Yangtze River again?"
Xu Xiake scolded without hesitation.
Lu Gong was stunned for a moment, then left with dissatisfaction.
So what can he do?
He was already living under someone else's roof. His land had long been divided, so he relied on the short sign of the aristocratic family. In addition, there were several shops in Changshu and Wuxi to make a living. How could he be qualified to make a powerful gentry like Xu Xiake who had houses and fields do? He must have wanted to make a big deal. He was not afraid that the regiment training will launch an attack immediately, and eliminate the bandits who snatched his houses and fields in one fell swoop, and restore the good days of the Lu family in the past, but now his words are useless!
He got on his horse hatefully and returned to Changshu, the nearest one, and then went to Qian Qianyi's house. Jiang Yu, who lived here, welcomed him in.
Qian Qianyi had already expected it.
"Look, this is the key to the dynasty that all the dynasties could not fight against Yang Xin. We cannot work together. When we encounter problems, we think about protecting ourselves and even slandering each other. In the past, we didn't have soldiers, so we really didn't dare to fight with them, but now we already have soldiers and generals, but we still don't dare to fight with them. It's a joke."
He said contemptuously.
In fact, he was glad at this time that if he had not been dismissed from office and was probably dragged in by Wen Zhenmeng...
He thought he was still very brave.
In his opinion, as long as he is in the capital, he will definitely participate in such a righteous act, and then he will end up with Wen Zhenmeng. However, he should not be glad to do so. Isn’t it a pity to be glad to those of Wen Zhenmeng? How can a righteous man like himself be like this?
In short, Qian Qianyi was in a mess at the moment.
"What did the Xu family think of him back then? Isn't it just a fraud in the imperial examination, but now it's trembling!"
Lu Gong said angrily.
It is obvious that he still can't let it go.
"What's the point of asking them for this? Suzhou gentry has more than 700,000 taels of silver a year and keeps them 6,000 people. Is it just for them to have idle food? When they need them to take action, they can't stand it, so that they can't stand the money?"
Jiang Yu also said angrily.
By the way, what they are most looking forward to in the exiled gentry of Wujin is to fight. Anyway, they have nothing to lose, and they have no worries in the fight. They don’t care if they lose. The Red Turban Army defeated the gentry of Suzhou and divided the land with the local tyrants. They have no land in Suzhou. But if they win, they can return to Wujin arrogantly and tell the poor that I, Hu Hansan, are back again, and then they can restore their past glory.
So they all want to fight.
But it is obvious that these gentry in Suzhou are not that stupid. They can maintain the status quo if they don’t fight. Once Yang Xin is attracted, they will really have no place to cry.
"Forget it, things have come to this point, let's just wait and see what's going on!"
Qian Qianyi said.
At this time, the butler of the Qian Mansion walked in and looked at him with a silence.
"What's the matter?"
Lao Qian said.
"Master, someone is asking for a visit outside."
The housekeeper said.
Then he gave Qian Qianyi a prayer letter in his hand, and at the same time signaled to him with his eyes, indicating that his affairs were not that simple. The latter looked down at the name on the prayer letter, and then frowned.
"Mr. Muzhai?"
Lu Gong said in confusion.
Qian Qianyi looked at him and Jiang Yu, and suddenly showed the greetings in his hand to them.
When Lu Gong and the others saw the name on it, their faces immediately changed, and then they widened their eyes and looked at Qian Qianyi with inquiring eyes.
"please!"
The latter said.
The housekeeper hurried out and soon walked in with the two of them. They were both short brown, looking like two ordinary farmers, and they could see that they were quite haggard in spirit, as if they had just experienced a long and difficult journey.
"Two righteous men, please accept a worship of money!"
