Chapter 111: Weaving Fog (5)
The order was directly issued by Hong Chengchou to the Jiangxi side. The staff put pen to paper, wrote Hong Chengchou's words into an order in the form of an official document, and sent it to the Jiangxi governor Yamen in Nanchang. There, whether the governor Zhang Chaoxuan can understand it or not, he can only carry out the order.
Hong Chengchou's anger carried some other feelings, whether it was panic, fear, or something else, Rao is Huang Zhixuan knew so well that it was difficult for him to distinguish for a while, because those feelings only flickered in the corners of Hong Chengchou's eyes for a moment, and they were covered by the anger in the sky.
Opening his mouth, Huang Zhixuan wanted to say something, but he took it back before he could say anything. He didn't dare to express his thoughts to Hong Chengchou, this was not his current situation, because as Hong Chengchou's most trusted figure in the Changsha shogunate, his main responsibility was to assist Hong Chengchou in running Huguang, and it was indispensable to give advice. But at this moment, he didn't say it, as for the reason, although it was only a short moment, but he also thought very clearly, that is, his idea was not wrong, but it was not suitable for the current situation, at the moment, Hong Chengchou was right!
The urgent official document came out of the southwest meridian yamen of Zhaobi Street, and the messenger flew on the stagecoach and galloped out. Seven hundred miles, the messenger galloped at the fastest speed. Changing horses all the way without changing people is completely a comparison of the 800-mile urgent posture. All the way to the gate of the governor's yamen, the messenger turned over and dismounted, showed his waist card, and went straight into the lobby where Zhang Chaoxuan was sitting with the support of the guards who knew the severity.
Zhang Chaoxuan was the blue-flag banner man for the Han army and the successor of the former governor Lang Tingzuo. Lang Tingzuo was promoted to the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi in the fifth month of the leap month, which was also due to the blessing that the Ming army did not invade Jiangxi, otherwise he would never have been able to leave. However, this mess is now on Zhang Chaoxuan's head, which also makes him can't help but scold, scolding Yu for operating in the court for so long, but he took such a hot ass position. It's just that now that the hot butt is also sitting, Hong Chengchou's order is issued here, and he has to carry it out immediately.
The official documents of the governor's yamen were directly distributed to the provinces, and the Ji'an Mansion is now the front line, and there has been no major war, but the Ming and Qing dynasties have never been less than the light riding dog fights where the two provinces are located.
Jishui County, which is located in the north of Fucheng, is now the safest and most helpless place in Ji'an Prefecture. As long as the city is still in the hands of the Qing army, they will be as stable as Mount Tai, but if the city is lost, such a small county town will not be spared. But things in this world are often one plus one disadvantage, just like Ruijin County in the past, there are other cities as shields, and it is much safer, but the task of providing food and food, and the harassment of the army are inevitable, and I learned that the county lord is the first two big.
The administrative pressure was huge, and at this time, it was time for the Mutual Aid Association to come out to help, but as soon as the decree of the Yamen came out, he didn't dare to disobey it, so he had to send someone to find Zou Nan to come over to see if the Mutual Aid Association could make any more efforts for the county government before it was dissolved.
"This ......" the magistrate talked about it, but Zou Nan hesitated. Soon, in front of the magistrate, he gritted his teeth and revealed the thoughts and dishes in his chest to solve the misunderstanding that may be caused here: "The county lord is the most concerned about the affairs of the county on weekdays, and he also loves the people like a son. It's just that the old man seems to be looking at the mutual aid association very well, and the students are afraid that they will be ...... if they disband a little later."
There is no need for Zou Nan to say the rest of the words, and the magistrate certainly understands his worries. This worry is human nature, after all, it is a gentleman who does not stand under the wall, this is what Mencius said, where can there be a truth that you don't know.
The matter of mutual aid associations has spread widely in Jiangxi, and almost every prefecture and county has it. I heard Zou Nan mention it before, saying that it was the first to come out of Southern Jiangxi, and the reason why it spread so quickly in various prefectures and counties in Jiangxi was because the local gentry catered to the policy of restoring people's livelihood to Cai Shiying, the governor at that time. But now, because the gentry of several mutual aid societies have changed their courts, it seems that they are going to suffer from it, and it is inevitable that they will be discouraged, and they must be sincerely afraid.
"Brother Ren doesn't have to worry about this, I have inquired with the Elder Fuzun, and the Elder Jingluo and the Elder Futai have only said that they want to dissolve the mutual aid association. For the gentry who formed the mutual aid association, they all used the word virtuous, believing that the monarchs could contribute to the country in the great plan of restoring the people's livelihood in Jiangxi, which was a manifestation of loyalty and patriotism. It's just that there may be some small and bad mixed in it, so it is banned in one piece......"
If there is no threat, can it be banned?
Zou Nan understood this truth from the morning, and hearing about the county's hidden head and tail here confirmed the correctness of his choice to follow Chen Kai.
The magistrate said a lot of things, which was nothing more than the necessary appeasement of him. If he didn't agree, it was obviously no longer possible, but Zou Nan also said that after the dissolution was completed, he would call some people to work for the government with his past prestige. Of course, for the above, I still hope that the magistrate will report to Yunyun in the name of the government.
"Brother Ren, please rest assured, you and I have been together for many years, have you ever seen me a person who will betray my friends and seek glory?"
The big event was determined, the guests and hosts were happy, and the two chatted about some poems, paintings and words, all of which were each other's common hobbies, and Zou Nan said goodbye.
Back in the house in the countryside, several members of the Heaven and Earth Society of the Prefecture had already hidden their tracks and rushed to ask for a countermeasure. As far as Zou Nan is concerned, this entry into the city is actually a test of the government's crackdown on the mutual aid association, as the tone of the next action. After all, there are still thousands of miles between Guangzhou Mansion and Ji'an Mansion, and there is no way to wait for Chen Kai's order if there is a problem here that needs to be reacted immediately, and what is more needed is their improvisation.
The news was very effective, and Hong Chengchou and Zhang Chaoxuan did not intend to offend the Jiangxi gentry to death, so they chose the saying that "the vast number of virtuous gentry are mixed with a few scum" in the world of the mutual aid association. The mutual aid association had to be dissolved, but the gentry who formed the mutual aid association still received verbal praise, which is in line with Hong Chengchou's handling of the Dongting case.
"For the time being, the Tartars shouldn't make a big move against us, but the chief helmsman is right, the members who have not formed a mutual aid association will immediately lurk, and those who have formed a mutual aid association will immediately dissolve the mutual aid association, at least in the open, you might as well make a big show for the Tartar government."
As soon as the three words of the chief helmsman came out, everyone present had a sense of honor. When he joined the Heaven and Earth Society, in fact, in addition to his determination and will to oppose the Qing Dynasty and the persuasion of his friends for many years, the most important thing was Chen Kai's prestige. Now, Chen Kai can win in the battle with Hong Chengchou, and the two sides are fighting wits and courage, which really makes them feel very excited after constantly learning the truth of this war, as if they have seen the peak duel between Zhuge Wuhou and Sima Yi in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
At this moment, Zou Nan made a decision on Chen Kai's earlier order, and everyone nodded yes. After discussing the details, Zou Nan sent everyone away, and then turned to the West Cross Courtyard to find Yu Youhan, who had been teaching with him during this time.
"Yu Zhuangshi, I'm really sorry, the mutual aid association is about to be disbanded, so I can only ask Yu Zhuangshi to find another him. However, according to the earlier agreement, the silver will not be less, not only for this period, but also for the remaining months. In addition, there is also a ritual to send to Yu Zhuangshi, just to make a friend. ”
Zou Nan was very generous, which made Yu Youhan feel a little embarrassed. Originally, after the first year, he was already thinking about continuing to travel, but he was left behind by Zou Nan's good words. It's good now, the government wants to dissolve the mutual aid association, and he will naturally have no use, although it is a little sudden, but it is also a little secretly in line with his heart.
"The elder gave it, and he didn't dare to resign. The favor of Master Zou, Yu Youhan should be remembered in his heart, the mountains and rivers have met, but in the future, if there is a move, he will be the power of dogs and horses. ”
Yu Youhan bowed his hand, without the slightest twist. Speaking of which, in fact, Zou Nan didn't want to let this master leave at all, but this person's martial arts were already well-known in this county, not to mention the limelight when he was recruited, and later he came to challenge a few times, but the results were all easily defeated. This person is already a symbol of his mutual aid association, and if he cuts his love, there will always be a layer of concern on the government side.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, I'm not here to catch up with Yu Zhuangshi, but I just explained in advance that Yu Zhuangshi can prepare for some time, and I'm not in a hurry when I arrive."
After the proprietor and Jiao Xi talked about things, Zou Nan did not go back to the room to rest, but went out of the house through the back door after a circle, and quietly rushed to an agreed place. There, there is someone waiting for him, because there is something important that he needs to get the news out as soon as possible, otherwise it will lead to more unnecessary losses.
Zou Nan is still busy in the open and secret, and Yu Youhan has already begun to prepare the bags needed for the next journey in an orderly manner. Three days later, Yu Youhan's side was thoroughly prepared, and after receiving the money and rituals, he officially set off and left the Zhuangzi of the Zou family.
According to his plan, this time he was going to Guangdong to see. Joining the army to resist the Qing Dynasty, he was accustomed to being free and comfortable, and he consciously may not be able to withstand this constraint, but he has been in the control area of the Qing court for a long time, and he has stayed in this depressed feeling for a long time, so he inevitably wants to change the environment, and now the control area of the southeast Ming army, which is in the limelight, must be a good choice.
The itinerary had already been thought about early. It is indeed the most convenient to go south, tracing the river along the Gan River, but after Wan'an County is the hardest hit area of the confrontation between the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the road must be strict, he has martial arts, carrying such a long Miao knife, nine times out of ten will be caught Zhuang Ding into the camp. With his martial arts, a dozen or so Qing soldiers would not be fine, but if there were more people, once he fought in formation, even if his martial arts were high, he would not be able to bargain in front of the battle array.
In this case, Yu Youhan's plan was to go to Jishui County first, take a boat there to take the Enjiang River, and enter the territory of Fuzhou Prefecture. After entering Fuzhou Mansion and then turning to the southeast, as long as you reach Meichuan Shui, you can go down the river to Ningdu County, which is already the control area of the Ming army, and you can go directly south to Guangdong.
With brisk steps, he embarked on the road to the south, and took the ox cart of an apprentice of the Mutual Aid Association to sell goods in the county, Yu Youhan and the man arrived at Jishui County after talking and laughing. Next, the man had his own things to be busy, so he first found a restaurant, ate some water and wine, filled his stomach, and then went to the dock to find a boat. If you can't go today, make an appointment over there to spend these days in the inn, and you just happen to be strolling around the county.
A trip that was almost like saying go, which made Yu Youhan's mood much better. I found a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and poured himself water and wine.
By the window on the second floor, looking down on the West Street of the county seat, there are many people below, Yu Youhan is drinking wine here, looking at the flow of people below from time to time, and he is also happy. In this way, after a long time, I drank most of the wine and ate most of the food, but the good mood has always been there and has not dissipated. At this time, the crowd below seemed to be frightened and began to retreat to both sides, but they saw a group of Qing troops passing through the city under the leadership of the officials and heading straight to the West City Gate.
"Eighty percent is going to be a soldier again, hey."
Thieves are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and it is most normal for the common people not to see the soldiers. Especially recently, with the continuous deterioration of the war situation in Southern Jiangxi, the Qing army in Jishui County can no longer be simply described in more than one word, and the local people in Jishui County have suffered a lot, and they can't help but sigh.
The sound came from across a table, and it was also muffled, so that ordinary people could not hear it at all. However, Yu Youhan is strong in martial arts, deaf and clear-sighted, even if he drinks alcohol, it does not prevent him from hearing those whispers clearly.
"It's hard to say, didn't it mean that the government ordered the dissolution of the mutual aid association? I see, I can't figure it out for the gentry and old men. ”
Even Yu Youhan was shocked by this statement, not to mention the man sitting on the opposite side: "No, those are all people and talented people, who can speak in the county." Besides, those gentry and lords did not take care of the people of the mutual aid association, and their reviews were excellent. ”
"County honor? The order to dissolve the mutual aid association is said to have been given by Hong Jing, and even the governor of the province Zhang only listened. ”
The man who spoke later obviously knew more about the inside story, and after hanging up the interest of the man sitting on the other side, he poured himself a drink, and then continued: "In these years, good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years. Good people are useful, and whoever has a knife handle listens to whom. Not to mention, there is a mutual aid association in Nanjiang that has surrendered the Ming army, and it is said that the reason why the mutual aid association is disbanded is because of this, and now there is a chance that it will be a big injustice. ”
The words at the next table continued, but at this moment, Yu Youhan's wine had already turned into sweat and flowed out of his body. As far as the eye can see, it is the direction of the West City Gate. And there was exactly where he entered the city.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
