Chapter Seventy-Five: Solicitation

"Seventy million taels!"

Hu Fei was shocked, now a dozen taels of silver can make a family of three eat and drink without worrying about living for several years. Seventy million taels of silver, so much silver, is enough for the people of the entire Central Plains to eat and drink for a long time.

"Of course, there are not as many as seventy million taels in the treasure, but there are still thirty or forty million taels!" Yang Yun said.

On the eve of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen's treasury had no money, so he summoned hundreds of officials to raise money and pay the officers and soldiers who defended the city.

Wei Zaode, the first assistant of the cabinet, donated 600 taels, the eunuch Wang Zhixin donated 10,000 taels, and the others had hundreds or dozens of taels. The civil and military officials donated a total of less than 200,000 taels of silver.

Emperor Chongzhen was furious and wanted his uncle Zhou Kui to take the lead in donating 100,000 taels. Unexpectedly, Zhou Kui cried and made trouble, and sold his belongings on the street, claiming that he didn't have so much silver at all.

Seeing this, the emperor could only take a step back and only ask him to donate 10,000 taels of silver.

The strange Zhou Kui actually went to the palace to find his daughter, Queen Zhou let her understand the righteousness, and took out the private money she had saved up and gave Zhou Kui 5,000 taels, but this Zhou Kui donated 3,000 taels of the 5,000 taels given by her daughter, and the remaining 2,000 taels made up for her losses.

"These officials are shameless!"

Hu Fei listened to Yang Yun mention the various deeds of these officials in the late Ming Dynasty a hundred years ago, all kinds of anger welled up in his chest, and when he heard Zhou Kui's strange behavior, he was angry and felt ridiculous.

A hundred years ago, it was these shameless officials who buried the Han people. Although Hu Fei is young, his personality is very similar to his father Hu Yidao, and he is heroic and scheming. Understand right from wrong.

"Even the capital can't be saved, these big officials don't even work together to defend the city, if the city is broken, what benefits can they get?" Hu Fei said angrily.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Yun's mouth, and said: "You don't know anything, in the eyes of those princes and ministers, the capital has fallen, and it is the Zhu family's country that has died, what does it have to do with them?"

"A new emperor came, and they could still be officials, but they didn't expect that after Li Zicheng broke through the capital, the Shun army captured all the civil and military officials, and tortured and looted gold and silver one by one. ”

"Zhou Kui, the uncle who only donated 3,000 taels of silver, the whole family was arrested, his wife and daughter-in-law were forced to hang themselves, the eldest son was beaten to death, and finally handed over 3 million taels of silver and all the family property!"

Hu Fei was shocked, three million taels of silver, he never thought that Zhou Kui, who donated three thousand taels of silver, would have so much net worth.

"What? Feeling a little incredible?"

Yang Yun had a sneer on his face.

Hu Fei nodded, from his birth to the present, the most Ping Ah Si said to him was to avenge his father, and in addition, it also made him recognize a few words.

He didn't know anything about the history of a hundred years ago, and today he listened to Yang Yun talk about the various situations in the late Ming Dynasty, and he was suddenly shocked.

Yang Yun and Hu Fei patiently said so much, in fact, they were subduing each other. Hu Fei is naturally chivalrous, smart-minded, and has great talent in martial arts, as long as he gives a little guidance, he can become a top master in the rivers and lakes.

If you can subdue him, then things will be easier in the future. After all, whether it was digging up treasures or overthrowing the Qing court, these things Yang Yun could not accomplish alone, and he had to recruit helpers.

"Although 70 million taels of silver is a lot, but it is only the property of the capital, when the Qing court entered the customs, slaughtered the city at every turn, washed the world with blood, tens of millions of people were slaughtered by the Qing soldiers, I don't know how much property was plundered by the Qing soldiers! These properties are at least ten times that of the capital!"

Yang Yun glanced at the other party deeply. The voice is muffled.

"Whether it is the gold and silver obtained by Li Zicheng from the torture of princes and nobles or the slaughter of the people by the Qing soldiers, they are all the people's fat and people's anoint! I came to Liaodong to prepare to use this silver to establish a force, the other party's Qing court, and reproduce the country of our Han people!"

Recreate the Han people! This is a rebellion.

However, when Hu Fei heard this, his chest was full of enthusiasm, and in the original timeline, he called Zhao Banshan and others of the Red Flower Society brothers, and did not have the slightest good impression of the Qing court.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to avenge his father Hu Yidao, maybe he would have joined the Red Flower Society and became an enemy of the Qing court.

In the rivers and lakes, all the bloody Han masters, no matter what, were very repulsive to the Qing court. When it comes to opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty or overthrowing the Qing court and rebuilding the Han people, they are all excited and yearning. In other words, every bloody master on the rivers and lakes is a traitor who has not officially pulled the anti-flag in the eyes of the Qing court.

This is also the reason why the Red Flower Society has lived in seclusion and returned to Xinjiang for so many years, and it has such a great reputation in the rivers and lakes.

"Yang Daxia is right, you should do it!" Hu Fei shouted.

Yang Yun's gaze fell on him. The expression gradually became serious.

"Hu Fei, you are extremely qualified, as long as you practice the family martial arts, you are the top master in the rivers and lakes, I wonder if you are willing to come and help me do this great thing together?"

Hu Fei said categorically without thinking: "Of course I do! In the future, I will follow Yang Daxia, kill the Tartars, overthrow the Qing court, and rebuild the country of our Han people!"

"Okay! Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me, Hu Fei, in the future, you don't have a mouthful of Yang Daxia, you and I are brothers! I am the eldest brother, you are the second brother! Brothers are of the same heart, their profits are broken, and such a great thing will be successful!"

Yang Yun was immediately overjoyed.

"Little brother meets big brother!"

Hu Fei was not ambiguous, and directly turned over and knelt in the snow to make a big salute. Yang Yun helped him avenge the big revenge before, coupled with the drive of righteousness, so that he willingly followed the other party.

Yang Yun hurriedly stepped forward to support his arm, and the two laughed, feeling much closer.

After the two became brothers, they didn't have too many scruples about each other, Hu Fei talked about his experience after leaving the merchant fort, and Yang Yun also said what he did during this time.

When he heard that Yang Yun had killed the Qing court's inner guard, the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the important minister of the Qing court, Fukangan, his heart was violently shaken again.

"So, the eldest brother has now become the head of the gossip gate, and the Manchu Tartars are still wanted and killed all over the world?"

Hu Fei was in a turbulent mood, and he couldn't wait to meet Brother Yang as soon as possible and do these big things that shocked the world together.

"The head of the Bagua Sect is just a false name, but, in the end, the Bagua Sect is still implicated because of me, and the entire sect has been hit and collapsed, and when I have a solid foundation in the future, I will definitely rebuild the Bagua Sect!

Yang Yun remembered the brothers Wang Jianying and Wang Jianjie who were on the run.

The two brothers, now wanted by the Qing court, are hiding in Tibet like rats, and have completely broken with the Qing court. When he met these two people again, he took the initiative to recruit them, and he could easily subdue these two masters.

Hu Fei nodded, and then looked at the cave next to him.

"Big brother, what are we going to do now? Do you want to dig out the treasure inside first?"

Yang Yun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the treasure inside is covered with ice, and it will take a lot of effort to dig it out, let's go to Yubi Peak first." Help you reclaim your mother's relics, and by the way, take over the Jade Pen Villa and let them come here to work as coolies!"
