Just looking at the packaging bag, it was different, and the five of them suddenly showed excitement.

"Chocolate and wafers are meant to be eaten, so let's try them."

Guo Wendong tore off the packaging bag and gave each person a chocolate and a wafer.

At the entrance of "Western Food", the five people showed rich expressions, and they were all amazed and praised for it. Some people take a small bite and chew slowly, while others take a whole chocolate in their mouth.

Huang Zongxi asked curiously: "The chocolate tastes so unique, I don't know what it is made of?" ”

Guo Wendong shook the pot and said: "I don't know much about foreigners' things, but they are delicious anyway." Just eating, that can be without a drink. ”

He asked Chunxiang to take out six small plastic bottles of Coke and give one bottle to each person.

"This is Coke, I drank it at Guo Xiandi's house, and it tastes great!"

Hou Fangyu introduced it to everyone, and then showed how to unscrew the cap.

Coke tastes really good.

Immediately, everyone started chatting, and the topic was still the foreign goods and medicines brought by Guo Wendong.

According to Hou Fangyu, there were 16 people who came to attend the party.

A few minutes later, someone came.

This man was a burly man of thirty-five or sixteen years of age.

"Wendong, this is Chen Zilong, among the sons, Chongzhen has been a jinshi for ten years, and he is now the magistrate of Zhuji County." Hou Fangyu introduced. Chen Zilong, a native of Songjiang (present-day Shanghai), returned to his hometown to visit his parents, and recently visited relatives in Nanjing, stopping by to attend a meeting.

For Chen Zilong, Guo Wendong searched for information through Baidu Encyclopedia in his previous life, he was quite successful in poetry, and he was a hero of the anti-Qing Dynasty, and actively participated in the anti-Qing struggle after the Qing soldiers captured Nanjing, and was finally captured by the Qing soldiers, swore not to surrender, and finally threw himself into the water to die.

Guo Wendong admired this kind of character very much, and took the initiative to say to him: "The middle brother of the people, the younger brother has heard of the name for a long time, and today we finally met." ”

Chen Zilong was a little surprised by Guo Wendong's attitude, and also returned the salute with a long salute, and said politely: "Guo Gongzi, you have made a lot of Western goods, and everyone in Nanjing City knows it!" ”

Guo Wendong looked sad and said: "I have Western gadgets, at most to make some money, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is aggressive, trying in vain to embezzle the Ming Dynasty, but the younger brother is powerless, worrying every night, should cut off the tartars like this." ”

With that, he sighed.

Although there is an element of acting, half of it is true, he is worried about how to change the fate of history, he must not be a minion.

Several people present had the heart to serve the country, were indignant at the rampant Tartars, and were dissatisfied with the darkness of the government.

"Brother Wu is here!"

"Brother Wu!"

Guo Wendong looked at the door again, and a man in his forties stepped forward, and several of them looked respectful and waved in unison.

Hou Fangyu introduced to Guo Wendong that this person's name is Wu Yingji, who is one of the leaders of the Restoration Society. He was the leader of the Restoration Society, and it was no wonder that the Restoration Society respected him.

Guo Wendong also remembered this name, he was also one of the heroes of the anti-Qing Dynasty, after the Qing soldiers went south, they raised troops to resist the Qing Dynasty, and was captured and killed.

"Why are you worried?"

Wu Yingji looked at the atmosphere and asked.

Chen Zilong said the situation just now.

At this time, Wu Yingji also looked at Guo Wendong differently and said: "Wendong, like the people of the Restoration Society, you have the same heart as the people of the Restoration Society, you have the heart of worrying about the country and the people, why don't you join the Restoration Society and work together to change this situation?" ”

He himself has a friendship with Guo Wendong, but he is not as deep as Hou Fangyu, and most of the people he has friends with are based on the premise of people with the same or similar political views.

At this time, Guo Wendong was slightly embarrassed and said: "The party competition in the imperial court is fierce, Wendong should not join, everything that is conducive to resisting the Qing army, you should go all out." ”

He expressed his attitude, but he avoided mentioning the imperial court, whether the Ming Dynasty was destroyed or not, he really didn't care, the imperial court itself was already rotten, what he cared about was that he must not be a minion.

Guo Wendong has made it clear that Wu Yingji is not easy to force him, and after a few words of encouragement to him, he sat down at the main table, and Chen Zilong also had a very high status in the Fushe and sat next to him.

There are already eight people at the Eight Immortals Table, and the remaining eight people will be arranged at another table.

Guo Wendong gave Coke, wafers, and chocolates to Chen Zilong and Wu Yingji to taste, and after the two tried it, they praised it loudly.

The appointed time for the party is approaching, and people are coming one after another, Hou Fangyu has introduced Guo Wendong respectively, among them, there is a person, Guo Wendong was still studying in his previous life, and the textbook has the name of this person, his name is Gu Yanwu, who was named a thinker, a scholar, a historian and a phonologist, and Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi and called the "three major Confucians" in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

There are formal and informal gatherings, and this gathering was initiated by Wu Yingji in his personal name, and it was not for specific things, it was an informal gathering.

All the personnel have arrived, they have all tasted the foreign goods brought by Guo Wendong, and they all praised it a few words.

Immediately, everyone began to talk about it.

The content of the discussion, or poetry and songs, or the situation in the world, or the discussion of the government and politics, and the criticism of the dark places of the court.

Among them, Ruan Dacheng became the target of everyone's crusade and criticism. Guo Wendong knew that Ruan Dacheng was a bit famous in the late Ming Dynasty, and he was a Jinshi in the late Wanli period, he first relied on the Donglin Party, or took refuge in the Eunuch Party, capricious, despicable, and an out-and-out villain, and a villain with some talents.

Subsequently, everyone talked about the situation in the world.

"The battle of Songjin outside the pass, the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses, only relying on the Shanhaiguan and the lonely city, it is difficult to resist the Qing army, the Qing army can completely bypass the Shanhaiguan to enter the customs, before several times into the fortress and looting, the court is helpless." Chen Zilong opened his mouth to talk, his tone was full of helplessness and sighs, and then said: "Inspector Sun is sitting in Shaanxi, recruiting troops and horses, and training soldiers. After the thief regained again, he had more ability to take refuge, Li Yan, Song Xiance, Liu Fangliang, etc. are all capable people, their momentum is very great, Sun Inspector is victory or failure, it is related to Daming, if he loses again, Daming is really irretrievable! ”

Chen Zilong likes to study practical knowledge, and has studied the military, service, finance, farmland, water conservancy, education and culture, and rules and regulations.

Wu Yingji said: "Inspector Sun is familiar with military affairs, and it stands to reason that he will not be defeated by thieves." ”

Everyone has different views on whether Sun Chuanting and Li Zicheng won or lost in the end, and the common point is that everyone hopes that the imperial army can win.

"Even if the imperial army can win, if the emperor does not rectify the imperial program and does not reform the maladministration, can he deal with the Manchu iron cavalry? The Qing army is strong, how can Li Chuang's army compare, the Ming army is also difficult to compete with it, since Nurhachi raised the army, the Ming army and the Qing army have been defeated repeatedly, this is the best verification. ”

At this time, Guo Wendong spoke.
