Chapter 323: The People of Mingxiang in the North and the South (Two Chapters in One, One Today)

Shame as a northern courtier, the outline is often solemn.

Rather for the southern guest, bamboo silk hanging.

King Ming Yongzhi Nantian, the sky is bright.

The township lives in peace, and the location is favorable.

Ye Kai looked at these two couplets and was silent, this is a Mingxiang person who lives in Jiading, Nanqi, and pushed Wu Renjing thousands of miles to Beiqi Shenglong to hand it to Ye Kai.

The current Minh Thanh people in Vietnam can be divided into two factions, the north and the south, and the situation of the two factions is also different because of the different attitudes of the North Trung and Nam Nguyen towards the Minh Thanh people.

Most of the Mingxiang people in Nanqi are prominent because of the Ruan family's preferential treatment of Mingxiang people, and many of the grassroots officials of the Ruan family are Mingxiang people or people who are involved with Mingxiang people.

For example, Wu Renjing in front of him, in history, he did the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and Jiading Xiezhen, and after his death, he also entered the Zhongxing Gongren Temple.

After him, Pan Thanh Jian, a famous Ming villager, became the minister of the secret court, the household, the soldier, and the criminal department, and was known as Li Hongzhang of Vietnam.

However, in Beiqi, due to the proximity of the Qing Dynasty, the Zheng family was afraid of Manchu interference, and there were many restrictions on the Ming villagers.

The two couplets brought to him by Wu Renjing were hung in the Gia Sheng Hall in Minh Huong Thanh City, Vietnam, and in the 60s of the last century, President Chang and Chen Cheng and others also wrote plaques for gifts.

And now, the Jiasheng Hall, which was supposed to be built this year, may not be built, because due to Ye Kai's strong rise, which led to Ruan Fuying's suspicions, Wu Renjing, who played a leading role in the construction of the Jiasheng Hall, lost his official position.

"Rushan, have you lost your official position?" Gently putting down the couplet in his hand, Ye Kai asked Wu Renjing with a smile.

Before marrying Ruan's Yuwan, Ye Kai knew Wu Renjing of Rushan, or the Mingxiang people under Ruan Fuying, Ye Kai paid attention to it.

"The county prince has done a great job, so Ruan Fuying is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, how can he still tolerate me and other Ming villagers, not only me, but even Gong Yan has already returned home to live idle, and can only read a book to pass the time." A wry smile appeared on Wu Renjing's lips.

"Then Rushan will stay with me, you can choose whatever you want!"

is a native of Mingxiang, and Wu Renjing is a talent who is good at internal affairs and diplomacy, so of course Ye Kai has to reuse him.

Wu Renjing shook his head, "Why does the county prince think I came here?" I'm not here to ask for an official, the county prince should be placed in Xia Nangui, so that when the time comes, you must show that you have no intention of colluding with the people of Mingxiang, and don't make King Ruan suspicious! ”

Ye Kai touched his chin, which was starting to grow a little beard, "What Rushan said is that I had no intention of colluding with the people of Mingxiang, and this place in Beiqi is enough for a headache, how can I take care of so much!" ”

"Really?" Ye Kai said no, Wu Renjing seemed to be a little dissatisfied.

"Not really!" Ye Kai shook his head firmly, he couldn't figure out the number of this Wu Renjing's path.

Ye Kai is not arrogant, he thinks that all Mingxiang people will gather to the point of him, people's hearts are unpredictable, these Mingxiang people have settled in Vietnam for hundreds of years, and the feelings in their hearts are more inclined to whom, it is difficult to say!

"Then the county prince will return these two couplets to the next, just treat it as if Wu has not come." Wu Renjing arched his hand and said.

Ye Kai didn't hesitate at all, and directly handed the two couplets to Wu Renjing, Wu Renjing immediately froze for a moment, and then took the couplet and began to walk out slowly.

When he was about to walk to the door, he couldn't help it, he sighed, and looked back at Ye Kai.

"Does the county prince really have such a heart?"

"Haha!" Ye Kaile is happy, what kind of psychological tactics are you doing with me, he beckoned to Wu Renjing.

"Rushan, just say what you want to say, why beat around the bush."

Wu Renjing couldn't do it, so she could only walk back a little embarrassed.

"Can the county prince know the hearts of the people of Ming Township such as me?"

After that, he was afraid that Ye Kai didn't know what to say, so he continued to talk directly.

"Our hearts are in these two couplets, shame for the northern courtiers, rather for the southern guest, but this southern guest is not good, more than a hundred years later, there is still a feeling of being under the fence.

But God does not abandon us and other people from far away, fortunately the county prince is talented, and we are now looking forward to it! ”

After saying that, Wu Renjing saw that Ye Kai still didn't speak, so he could only say lightly: "Gong Yan knows about my going north!" ”

It seems that this Wu Renjing does know something, and Ye Kai showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

"I am the son-in-law of the Nguyen family in Quang Nam, and I originally came to help people restore the country, but now I want to take away people's business, which is a little difficult to do!"

Wu Renjing solemnly bowed, "The county prince can do it if he has a heart, and for other things, Wu and others will plan by themselves, and they will inevitably make the soldiers of the county prince upright!" ”

Ye Kai glanced at Wu Renjing a few times, only to see that his face was solemn, and he seemed confident, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't guess what method Wu Renjing was going to use.

Ruan Fuying is indeed a bit difficult to operate for Ye Kai now, in the eyes of outsiders, Ruan Fuying sent troops to help Ye Kai win the battle of Ganmaxi, and when he went north, he supplied grain, rice, gold and silver and people's husbands, and half of Ye Kai's Taixi soldiers should have been Ruan Fuying's, and Ruan Fuying also generously gave it to Ye Kai.

To sum up, in the eyes of most people, Ruan Fuying is not only Ye Kai's eldest brother, but also kind to Ye Kai, everyone is so generous, and it is indeed a bit unreasonable to take away people's inheritance for no reason.

But if he doesn't take it, Ruan Fuying will always be a threat, who knows if this unbeatable Ruan Xiaoqiang will give him a hit at something?

Moreover, Jiading and the Jiulongjiang Plain are so rich, how many immigrants should be accommodated, and how much rice should be produced, which is really coveted!

So hearing Wu Renjing say that there is a way, Ye Kai was also very happy.

"If this is the case, I should set up the post of governor of Jiading to oversee the affairs of Nanqi, and Rushan should be the governor of this place!"

Wu Renjing listened to the conditions given by Ye Kai, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he arched his hand, but said on his lips: "I am not here for high-ranking officials and Houlu, but for the Han Er plan in the land of Tiannan!" ”

"I know that Rushan is a noble person, although the governor of Jiading is a high-ranking official, but it is also a responsibility, who can be a person who is not Rushan? I'll send you one! ”

Ye Kai stepped out of his seat and personally sent Wu Renjing to the door, no matter what method this guy uses, as long as he can justifiably take South Vietnam, a Jiading governor should be given!

。。。。

Jing Tien Palace, this is the main hall of Thang Long Palace, in addition to being the royal palace of the Lê Dynasty, it is also the royal palace of the Ly, Tran, and other dynasties in Vietnamese history.

Historically, this royal palace was looted and destroyed during the French colonial period, and only the north gate of the imperial city has been preserved.

And now, Thang Long Palace is his most glorious and beautiful time, although the area is smaller than the Forbidden City, but it is much larger than the Gyeongbokgung Palace in the Lee family's Joseon.

From the main gate to the Jingtian Palace, it is almost close to 500 meters, you must know that the Forbidden City is about a thousand meters long from north to south, and if all the buildings are counted, the Thang Long Palace is about two-fifths the size of the Forbidden City.

And today, it is the day of Ye Kai's meeting of the North Vietnamese tyrants, these days, Ye Kai has not yet established power, his army only occupies the left near Thang Long, and the grassroots administration in other places is still under the rule of these North Vietnamese tyrants.

The number of people who can come to Jingtian Hall today is not large, only about 20 people, but they are all very influential local tyrants in Beiyue, and they are also local tyrants who are willing to mix with Ye Kai.

Those who refuse to mix with Ye Kai, such as Taiyuan, Xuanguang, and the local tyrants and gentry of Fuping, are now all in deep ditches and high bases, dreaming of the king of the soil.

In the Jingtian Palace, although he was not yet the king of Annan, Ye Kai still sat on a small dragon chair and enjoyed the emperor's addiction of being worshiped by his courtiers.

This Shenglong Imperial City has everything from eunuchs, palace maids, to petty officials, and Ye Kai only needs to replace the imperial city guards with his own people.

However, the central body of Thang Long is no longer complete after the airport disaster, and it is time to reappoint it.

In the Jingtian Palace, the North Vietnamese tyrant gentry with one vote, in addition to the Wu father and son, the most important representatives of the gentry are Pan Huiyi, Deng Chenchang, Ruan Li and others.

Among them, Pan Huiyi is also a student of Wu Shiren's father Wu Shishi, and he is a classmate of Wu Shiren, and he also married Wu Shiren's own sister, which is considered to be their family.

Deng Chenchang on the left side of Pan Huiyi is a native of Zhangde County, which belongs to Thang Long, and the Xishan Dynasty conquered him several times, but he could not resign, and finally took refuge in Nguyen Phuc Ying in history.

This person can be literate and martial, and has repeatedly made military exploits in the battles of the Ruan Dynasty to destroy the Xishan Dynasty, and is a typical scholar and a Confucian general.

However, when he was serving as the secretary of the military department in Hue, he was accused by the minister Le Zhen of concealing taxes and other illegal things during his tenure as a soldier in Beicheng, and Nguyen Phuc Anh sent him to prison.

As a result, this guy is also a strong head, or a strong man, and belongs to the kind of donkey who starts a temper and doesn't care about anything.

He composed a poem "Han Wang Sun Fu" in prison, comparing himself to Han Xin of the Han Dynasty, and satirizing Ruan Phuc Ying for killing heroes like Han Gaozu.

Ruan Phuc Anh was furious and gave him to commit suicide, but he still refused, so Ruan Phuc Anh, who was even more angry, sent someone to hang him to death.

Ye Kai touched his chin and thought about it, what is there to be angry about this Ruan Fuying?

You are a small character in the land of Tiannan, and you can be compared to the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and you are still angry?

It should be Han Gaozu who is angry, right?

And Deng Chenchang belongs to the kind of person who has extraordinary talents, but his character is not very good, he is greedy for money and lustful, and he also thinks very highly of himself, and he is not good at it.

This kind of person, if in the hands of a master who can tolerate people, such as Tang Taizong, Song Renzong, or Ming Xiaozong, is definitely a capable minister who can shine.

It's just that Ruan Fuying is a pseudo-master who looks like a master on the outside, but inside he is actually a small-bellied chicken intestine and a strong sense of revenge, so he can only hit the street.

Nguyen Li, on the other hand, was a protégé of the famous scholar Pham Gui Shih, who was the first of the list of Jinshi in the Lê Dynasty in 1783, and is currently the school inspector of Shanxi and Hai Duong in Vietnam.

However, due to the serious fraud in the imperial examination in Vietnam, the top three Jinshi do not need to be called champions, Bangyan and Tanhua, Ruan Li's top Jinshi list is not popular, and he is still a school inspector after five or six years.

But his reputation in the land of North Vietnam is very loud, he and his teacher Fan Guishi are famous all over North Vietnam, and his apprentices and protégés are all over the place, although they have no military power in their hands, they have the right to public opinion.

Ruan Hui also recruited him several times, but because Ruan Hui wanted to push the mumble character to the same status as Chinese characters, he was resisted by Ruan Li and others.

He would rather be an inspector than serve in Thang Long, belonging to an extreme Han culture or should be said to be a defender of Confucian culture.

And in the original history, Nguyen Li's daughter, Mrs. Thanh Guan, was also the most famous female poet in Vietnamese history.

It's just a bit funny that Ruan Li has been defending the status of Chinese characters and sinology all his life, but his daughter is famous for using muttering characters to write Tang law poems.

And Ruan Li's seat Fan Guishi is even more incredible, although this guy is Ruan Li's seat, he is actually five years younger than Ruan Li.

At the age of eighteen, he was admitted to the Jinshi examination, and successively served as the secretary of the East Pavilion School of the Li Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy, the Jingbei Provincial Superintendent of the Imperial History, and the Tiancha Zhigongfan.

Later, the most famous scholars of the Nguyen Phuc Anh period, ministers Nguyen Van Li, Nguyen Van Chao, Ho Zong Quan, Wu Zong Fan, Zhu Yun Zhi, Fan Hui and others, all came from Fan Gui Shih's disciples.

Of course, as such a Confucian bull in North Vietnam, he will definitely not come to worship Ye Kai now, he is the hope of the Qingliu civil officials in North Vietnam, if Ye Kai can win him over, North Vietnam will be stable.

But now that he is willing to send his protégé Ruan Li to come, he actually shows his attitude, you must know that Ruan Hui has entered the Shenglong three times, and has conquered Fan Guishi three times, but people have ignored them.

If they ignore it, when Nguyen Hue defeats Nguyen Nguyen for the second time, he will be able to set the capital of Thang Long, and he will definitely not occupy Thang Long several times and retreat, the reason is because Nguyen Hue does not have the support of the North Vietnamese tyrants and gentry.

In addition to these literati, most of the rest were the heads of the big families of North Vietnam and the former Lê Dynasty generals who held military power.

Ye Kai thought about it for a while, originally he expected that there would not be so many Vietnamese people to come to him!

He also thought that these people would treat him with the attitude of dealing with Ruan Hui, and he was ready to clean up a batch of them ruthlessly to make room for the Hakka people who would recruit Liangguang in the future.

But this is special, now there are many people who take refuge, and there are those who put on a score, but there are few who do not take refuge and do not cooperate!

What to do? You can't let everyone take refuge in you, and you have to kill you, right?

I can't say it!

But if he didn't kill a group of people and continue to let these guys control North Vietnam, how could his industrialization continue?

So what's the difference between him and the puppet king of the Li Dynasty?

and Sun Shiyi and Li Weiqi died in Langjiang, someone has to carry this pot, right?

There were a lot of Qing soldiers who fled back, and some people must have seen the clansmen of Vu Van Dung and Nguyen Van Hun and knew that there were Vietnamese natives involved in it, and it would definitely not work to just throw the pot to the Hua Nan pirates recruited by the Tay Son Dynasty, at least I had to use the heads of a few North Vietnamese tyrants to give me the perfect old man as a step down.

And if he doesn't kill a few blind people, who knows how decisive he is in killing and killing, and how sharp his soldiers are?

Now Ye Kai, his feet are still hanging in the air, although there are more than 10,000 elites, but he can only control the left side of the ascending dragon.

If you don't kill people to establish your authority, and if you don't get a few monkeys with miserable ends as an example, I'm afraid you won't be able to deter them!

What's even more worrying is that apart from these places, there is actually no one of the people under his rule now.

Ye Kai's foundation is in the four states of Nanyang and the local tyrants of Pingshun who have been tied to him, but he can't bring these people to Beiyue, people are living well, why do they have to come all the way to suffer this crime?

It seems that only by attracting enough Hakka people from Liangguang to North Vietnam, if there are 300,000 Hakka people under his command, and then win over the Ming villagers and Han people whose ancestors are in China, can he sit on the throne safely.

Fuck it! Ye Kai's cheeks twitched, one broke North Vietnam, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and a population of three or four million, why did he have to work so hard?

He finally knew how Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty was white-headed in his twenties, his own ability was average, and he was still in charge of a mess of millions of square kilometers, and his subordinates were all slippery old oilmen and gentlemen, so it was strange if he was not white-headed.
