Chapter 278: Squeezed Out
Yang Zongren was released, and he was also appointed by Yongzheng as the envoy of Jiangsu and was responsible for the preparation of the Jiangnan regimental training, which soon caused rumors in the capital, and this time not only the ministers were opposing, but also caused a lot of heated discussions in the Eight Banners.
The reason is very simple, in the hearts of everyone, once you want to train a regiment, it means that you want the Han people's military power. But this military power is no better than others, and it can be taken back if it is given, and everyone still remembers the matter of fighting the three feudatories, although the eight banners that died at that time were not as many as they are now, but they still made the eight banners painful.
Because of this, Kangxi put Yang Zongren in prison at that time, and he also had the intention of stabilizing the hearts of the people inside and outside, but everywhere in the capital, it has begun to spread that Yongzheng does not comply with the ancestral system of the Holy Grandfather and does not conform to the general trend, which is actually a move against the people's hearts.
"If you want me to say, the first emperor should have passed the throne to the eighth elder brother, otherwise how could there be such a thing today? The Chu rebellion in Huguang has not been leveled, do you still want to create another 200,000 rebels in Jiangnan? ”
The fifth master had a red face and a thick neck, and after pouring two bowls of yellow soup, he didn't know who his surname was, he stepped on the bench with one foot, and held the wine bowl with the other hand.
The Eight Banners disciples on the side also applauded, their eyes were blood-red, but the shopkeeper in the restaurant turned pale with fright, and the whole person was paralyzed on the ground.
These goods!
If this news is known to the sticky stickers, the big guys will have to die!
Who doesn't know that the secret agent team under the emperor's hand today, killing people is like killing chickens, these gang of yellow and red belts, they talk nonsense after drinking, and they will go to the Zongren Mansion for training when they are in the sky, but what about their own family?
The shopkeeper cleared out all the other guests early, and he specially sent two junior two to guard downstairs, but his heart and liver were pounding, and he couldn't wait to invite these plague gods away.
A disciple of the Eight Banners next to the fifth master said mysteriously at this time: "Hey, don't say it, that person's life is not easy either!" I heard that this time the household department paid off the debt, which caused the anger of the officials in the world, so why did Chu Shun rebel in the first place? It's not just silver! ”
"If this is another rebellion, I will see how his fourth brother will explain to his ancestors and ancestors!" The fifth master slammed the wine bowl to the ground, and the remaining wine flowed on the ground......
Prince Lian's Mansion is brightly lit, but unlike before, it is that there are some elder brothers and ministers who will come to the door. Now it has become deserted, and even the slaves and maids in the house are much less.
The tenth elder brother Yun Yu hurriedly walked into the garden, wanting to find Prince Lian Yun Yu, but there was no one along the way, so he ran to the house.
A maidservant stopped the tenth elder brother Yun and said softly: "Ten Belle, the prince is unwell today and does not see any outsiders. ”
Yun Yu was in a hurry, he pushed the maid away, but he was in a hurry to break inside, shouting while breaking back, "Starling, our good opportunity has come, at this time, our brothers have to discuss and discuss....... Dog minion, you dare to stop Ben Baylor? ”
But when Yun Yu was making a big noise, Yingcheng, the housekeeper in Prince Lian's mansion, stood in the way, with a wry smile on his face.
"Yo, Tenth Master, even if you give the slave ten more dares, the slave won't dare to stop you, but in this situation, it's really not the slave who can be the master, the prince has been guarding the wind and cold during this time, and he really can't see outsiders....."
Yingcheng had a look of embarrassment on his face, but no matter how much Yun Yu pushed him, his body did not move at all, like a wall, standing in front of Yun Yan.
Yun Yan's face was a little stupid, "Since this is the case, I won't bother the starling to recuperate, but I have to say that if the starling still wants to achieve great things, he must cheer up!" ”
Yingcheng had a smile on his face, and he didn't agree with this conversation.
"Congratulations to the Tenth Master"
In fact, when Yun Yu was making a lot of noise in front of the mansion, Prince Lian Yun Yu was hiding in a hidden attic, looking at this scene coldly, his face did not have the slightest expression.
There was also a man in black standing next to him, he looked at the tenth elder brother Yun who was indignant, and said with a smile: "The prince is cautious, and the slave really admires it." ”
Prince Lian's face was extremely calm, and he glanced at the man in black, "You want to see me today, it's not just to watch this play!" ”
The man in black had a little indignation on his face at this time, and he said in a condensed voice: "Naturally not, Eighth Prince, the slave is here to save my Qing Dynasty!" ”
Prince Lian Yunxi has experienced so many changes, and he has long been immune to these big words and empty words, and glanced at the man in black lightly, waiting for the other party to continue.
"I think that at the beginning, it was not easy for my Qing Dynasty to come by, it can be said that my ancestors fought it with blood, but now that I am replaced by Emperor Yongzheng, the slaves think that this is to push my Qing Dynasty to a dead end!"
A faint smile appeared on Prince Lian's face, but he didn't answer, just waiting for the other party to finish all his words.
The black-clothed man's face was a little embarrassed, and he smiled bitterly: "I think at the beginning, the slave advised the fourteenth master to start the army in time, but the fourteenth master thought too much and hesitated too much, so that the military power was seized by the dog thief Yanxin...... The minions have hatred in their hearts! ”
It turned out that this person was Oro Dai beside the Fourteenth Elder Brother, since Yongzheng registered, the power of the Fourteenth Elder Brother was the first unlucky, the Fourteenth Elder Brother himself was confined to Jingshan to study, not to mention, those cronies around him have also been severely hit, and as for Oro Dai himself, because of his illustrious family background, he was not directly taken down, but was secretly surrendered by Yongzheng Mingsheng and removed his military power.
Seeing that Prince Lian Yunxi was still indifferent, Oro Dai was also a little anxious and resentful in his heart, and said hurriedly: "Lord Wang, the reason why the slaves took the risk to come here today is not for their own worth, but for my Qing Dynasty, for the sake of you, Lord Wang, and now in the entire Qing Dynasty, only you can organize that tyrant to do it!" ”
"Who in this world doesn't know, even if the emperor didn't want to pass on the eighth master, but he was not his fourth, and now that he has the power in his hands, he wantonly attacked the ministers and relatives of the Manchu Dynasty, and even relegated the ninth master to Qinghai, what a vicious method, does the prince not care at all?"
Prince Lian let out a long sigh, and he smiled bitterly: "But now there is nothing to be done, the household department is also beneficial to the country, but the emperor's means are a little more urgent...... As for the rest, what's the point of talking about it now? ”
Seeing that Prince Lian Yunxi was a little disheartened, Oro Dai couldn't care much anymore, he quietly came over and whispered to Prince Lian Yunxi, but these words made Prince Lian Yunxi's eyes light up, and then dimmed.
"However, even if they agree to support the king, now that this force is concentrated in the hands of the emperor, what can we do about it?"
Oro Dai was a little excited, he knelt on the ground and bowed to Prince Lian Yunxi.
"Lord, when the time comes, as long as we are like this....... Naturally, the power of the army is not a problem! ”
The wind and rain in Jingshi are slowly gathering, and it seems that a bigger storm is about to condense out, so it seems to be relatively calm, but now Jiangnan has really become the cusp of the storm.
Yang Zongren took a few entourage, rode a fast horse all the way south, and changed ships on the way, so it only took six days to rush from Beijing to Jiangning, and at this time, the Fu Han army also set off from Tongling and rushed to Taiping Mansion, which was only three hundred miles away from Jiangning Mansion, which can be described as a line of life and death.
Before Yang Zongren arrived, Fan Shiyi had already begun to recruit people in the initial stage to organize regimental training, in addition, he concentrated the entire Jiangnan troops in Jiangning Mansion, but there were only 50,000 green battalions and more than 12,000 Eight Banners, the key is that although these people have more than 60,000 people, but the empty salary is very serious, the actual number is less than 50,000, or 50,000 old, weak, sick and disabled.
This scene almost made Fan Shiyi give up all illusions, and he realized a problem very sadly, that is, even if he organized a group exercise, in terms of time, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep Jiangning.
However, Fan Shiyi also knew in his heart that the overall situation in Jiangnan did not lie in the gains and losses of Jiangning, the key was to see whether the attack of the Han army could be delayed, as long as it could be delayed for a while, if other places in Jiangnan could organize troops, then the original idea could be realized.
For Yang Zongren's arrival, Fan Shiyi was a little tired in his heart, he planned to swallow most of the great skills of the group practice, but now there is a Jiangsu envoy, and he is also responsible for the group training, which makes Fan Shiyi feel a little uncomfortable, whether it is checks and balances, or other reasons, in Yongzheng's heart, he has not gained more trust.
"Maybe Cao Fu's move will have to be pinched in his hand for a while....."
Fan Shiyi muttered in his heart, at this critical time, he still did not put down the struggle for power and profit in his heart.
At the same time, Cao Fu of Jiangnan Manufacturing Mansion is also worried, the deficit of the Weaving Mansion is like a sword hanging in the air, which will fall down at any time, although there is a way out in front of him, but if you want to seize this way of life, how difficult is it?
Li Xi, who has always relied on him, has been arrested in the capital, so Cao Fu has no other way, so he wrote to Sun Wencheng, a weaver in Hangzhou, planning to discuss and discuss together to see how to overcome the current difficulty.
In a sense, the Cao family is Sun Wencheng's benefactor, without Cao Yin's recommendation, Sun Wencheng can't be the fat shortage of Hangzhou weaving, and now Sun Wencheng is also anxious to burn his brows, so when he saw Cao Fu writing a letter, he hurried to Cao's mansion in Jiangning.
In terms of generation, Sun Wencheng belongs to Cao Fu's uncle's generation, so Cao Fu took his family and gave a big gift to Sun Wencheng, but the Cao family's heirs are not prosperous, and Cao Fu's family is not much, mainly some young children.
"Zhan'er, come over and see your uncle!"
Cao Fu pulled out a ten-year-old child, bowed to Sun Wencheng, and then introduced: "This is my eldest brother's widow, when my eldest brother went early, this child ended up alone, really pitiful, and now it is my child." ”
Sun Wencheng was thoughtful, he nodded slowly, and sighed: "For so many years, the Cao family is really not easy, when the first emperor visited Jiangnan many times, the Cao family took a lot of effort to do the work on the scene decently, I and you Li Shibo, we are clear in our hearts." ”
Cao Fu also sighed and said: "The world thinks that my Jiangnan Three Weaving enjoys the top wealth in the world, but in the end, we know how difficult it is, in the end, it is just a house slave of the Internal Affairs Office, and I have taken care of the wealth of Jiangnan for the master, and the master is gone, so we will be insignificant......"
These words are more or less full of resentment, how did this deficit in Jiangnan come about, doesn't Yongzheng know it in his heart? It's not a big loophole bought by Kangxi, how much can his Cao family eat in the middle? Now the left and right are just finding a scapegoat.
Sun Wencheng's face was also cold, he had been being troubled by Li Fu, the governor of Zhejiang, recently, mainly because the loopholes on his side were not big, and it took a lot of effort to fill in the account book temporarily, but if Yongzheng insisted on checking it like this, he would definitely not be able to hold back.
"Nephew, our Jiangnan Sanweaving is the same qi and branches, one is prosperous and one is lost, and now we can't watch it slide down, what is the specific way, you might as well say it bluntly."
Cao Fu smiled bitterly: "This new governor is not a good stubble, but it can be regarded as a leak, if we can take advantage of the east wind of group training now, we can also keep it safe for a while." It's just that the amount of money needed is too much......"
Others don't know, Sun Wencheng still has a number of the Cao family's family background, the rich rival country must be an exaggeration, otherwise it won't even be able to fill the deficit, at most, there is still a few hundred thousand taels of silver in his hand, barely enough for the family to live together, and if he wants to hold a group exercise, he is afraid that he will not be able to hear the sound even if he throws it in.
It's just that he has to take out so many silver taels at once, which makes Sun Wencheng a little hesitant, his worth is far inferior to that of the Cao family, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he should not give up this opportunity......
"Let's try to raise as much money as we can first, and as for the rest, we can wait and see. This new envoy is not a good character, how do we deal with this money when the time comes, I'm afraid we will have to fight again....."
After a few drinks in the house, Sun Wencheng said goodbye to Caofu, but on the way back, let the cold wind blow, but it made Sun Wencheng feel a little undeserved......
Since it's spending money to buy life, why do you have to go to a group practice? It's okay to take this money to join the Fu Han army......
Sun Wencheng is not as good as the Cao family and the Li family, after all, he is an orthodox civil official, not a servant from the Internal Affairs Bureau, and his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty is actually like that, so naturally he will not be as obsessed as the Cao family.
The night was bright, after Sun Wencheng returned to the mansion, the wine also woke up, he had the heart to write a secret letter to the Fu Han army, wanting to take refuge in the Fu Han army, but he was afraid that the more than 300 miles of road would be intercepted, and the life of the whole family would be lost.
But if you wait until the Fu Han army comes over, then the credit will be small, so I am also sad in my heart, and I am in a dilemma for a while.
Just thinking about it, Sun Wencheng grabbed a trace of inspiration, and couldn't help but show a little smile on his face.
