Shang Geng's two feudal clans wantonly scraped land in Guangdong, and the Qing court also had to collect taxes in Guangdong, and the two sides overlapped, and this province, which had been in chaos for several years since Li Dingguo swept Guangdong, was even more embarrassed. With {Dream} Xiao◢.1a, this is undoubtedly a supplement and support for those Ming and righteous armies in terms of manpower and people's hearts.

Counting the income alone, their scraping of land in Guangdong is a sum of income, and the Qing court will also pay hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year. That is to say, even if they didn't have a penny of money, the silver scraped out of the ground was also the income of their respective royal mansions, and the expenses were nothing more than bribing the magnates of the Eight Banners to support their minions, plus satisfying their own arrogance and indulgence, there would always be a lot left in the treasury.

Li Dingguo, Guo Zhiqi and Chen Kai have already been eyeing each other for this money, and they are tacit with each other. The exact amount is still unknown, but after listening to Gong Ming's description of the Pingnan Palace, the jewelry, jade, gold, silver, calligraphy and paintings, and those luxury goods that have no value standards at all can be described as dazzling, and these inventory personnel are all looking straight.

In addition, the Shang family also has a very large eagle dog house, which is about the area of Houloufang Street in later generations, which specializes in domesticating pets. Among them, the insect ant house raises crickets, grasshoppers, autumn cicadas, and bees; The bird house raises quails, thrushes, white pigeons, and fighting cocks; Eagle harrier house to raise sea east green, blue harrier, hemp eagle; The kennel houses Oto hounds and pugs. There are full-time officials such as "dog supervisors" everywhere, and there are nearly 100 breeders alone.

"Shang Kexi has a wide range of hobbies."

Chen Kai smiled softly, Gong Ming echoed, and continued: "Your Highness, Inspector Guo, and Chen Fujun, don't underestimate these beasts. In the Pingnan Palace, the cat is known as Miss and Niuniu, and the dog has the name of Xianggong and Little Brother. On weekdays, they often go out as long as they can, and when the road is on the road, people and dogs are congested. What's even more exaggerated is that all the butcher shops they pass by have to honor the pork and these Shang dogs, and passers-by will inevitably avoid them in fear. ”

After listening to this story, Chen Kai asked himself to have gained a lot of knowledge. Those who co-authored later generations out of love for pets, the pets in the housekeeper were called sons and daughters, and they were already left over from the ancients.

Think about the police dogs used by the Chaozhou Manufacturing Bureau to patrol, and now they are still eating leftovers, and they can occasionally wag their tails for a long time. And the dogs raised in the Pingnan Wangfu have reached the point where the butcher shop they pass by wants to "honor" the pork, which is probably the legendary dog fighting human power.

"The golden bottle of wine is the blood of thousands of people, and the jade plate is delicacies and the surname is ointment. When the candle tears fall, the people cry, and the singing is high. ”

This poem came to mind, and it seemed that I had read it a long time ago. Speaking of which, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao's rampant conquest in Guangdong was not like that of Fujian not long ago, which was drilled into a thousand holes by boiling public grievances, and as a result, the house collapsed in an instant with a push. During this period, it was entirely under the joint efforts of the Ming army, with military means and overwhelming superiority in arms that the final victory was achieved. But it is undeniable that on weekdays, those Ming troops in western Guangdong can survive, and there is no lack of support from the people, and when Li Dingguo's army swept through western Guangdong, there were also people who responded. Even if there are no obvious traces, literati and artists rarely record them.

Chen Kai said this poem softly, the poem is easy to understand, Li Dingguo listened to it, his face changed suddenly, he sat there, without saying a word, but when he looked closely, he was obviously recalling something.

Many other people present also noticed this, speaking of which, this Optimus White Jade Pillar of the Southern Ming Dynasty was a rogue who was scolded by thousands of people as a disaster in the world. Today, the officials and generals who are devoted to the Ming court, as well as those who are old and young and the common people who are deeply oppressed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, regard it as their greatest hope, and at first glance, it seems to be a bit funny.

There was a sudden silence in the big tent, Guo Zhiqi glanced at Chen Kai with a little complaint, and then changed the topic: "This poem was written by Chen Fujun?" ”

"It's not." Chen Kai shook his head with a smile, and then explained: "It's a good sentence from Mr. Feng Menglong's "Guangxiao Mansion", and Xia Guan remembers it really. ”

Chen Kai said so, but in fact, he remembered it wrongly, at least not completely. There is a similar text in "Guangxiao Mansion", but it is "full of fine wine, thousands of blood, finely cut fat sheep and ten thousand surnames." Candle tears are dripping with tears of grievance, and the singing is loud and complaining", are two sentences in the ballad that ridicules Jingzhou's greed. Later, this poem was transmitted to North Korea, and it was added to the well-known classical literary masterpiece "Chunhyang" in North Korea, and it became what it is now. When the Donghak Party of Korea revolted, it was also a folk song.

But before that time, the poem was exported to China again, and it was transmitted from North Korea to China. At that time, it was the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Jiaqing ridiculed the corruption of officials, so he slightly modified this poem to spur the ministers. For this reason, a Qing history expert in later generations also praised Emperor Jiaqing's love for the people and benevolence, and repeatedly pointed out that the Koreans copied the imperial poems.

"Mr. Feng Menglong?"

Li Dingguo has not heard much of this name. Speaking of which, when he was a rogue, he listened to a lot of the "Romance of the Gods" and "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" that Mr. Storyteller talked about. Later, Jin Weixin entered the scene, and on weekdays, he would mostly use more popular things such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to instill in him the idea of loyalty and patriotism. For other texts, he was busy with military affairs, where he had too much time to deal with. However, this poem alone aroused his great interest immediately, and he inquired in detail about the whereabouts of Mr. Feng, but what he got was the answer that Feng Menglong had died.

"Mr. Feng died in the second year of Longwu, and it is said that he was killed by the Tartars because of the resistance to the captives."

As soon as these words came out, Li Dingguo couldn't help but sigh "hey", sighing that it was a regret in life that he could not talk to such people in this life.

In this regard, Chen Kai had nothing to say. It stands to reason that if a former rogue wants to clear his name, he always has to be secretive about his former identity. Only by trying to integrate into the general environment of the Ming court and make great contributions to the rise of the Ming Dynasty can we transform from a "traitor who troubles the world" in the traditional sense to a hero who "was once deceived by others, but was born loyal" and other literati.

At this moment, because of this, Li Dingguo obviously didn't think of this, just showing his true feelings. But seeing this scene, I couldn't help but have the idea that "no one is perfect".

This politically low-level Nanming god of war may need more help from him in the future, but this time, history has begun to change because of the recovery of Guangzhou. In the coming days, perhaps this era will become more and more different from the Nanming period in his memory, and whether some things will continue to happen will also become one big unknown after another.

"No matter what, what needs to be done, still has to be done!"

A hint of resoluteness flashed in his expression. At this time, Li Dingguo was still immersed in regret, Guo Zhiqi looked thoughtful, only Jin Weixin and Gong Ming clearly saw Chen Kai's fleeting, constantly enlarged in their minds, and it seemed that even the weight was constantly increasing.

"Chen Fujun, what a genius."

The two returned to the Pingnan Mansion together to continue counting, but on the way, Gong Ming suddenly let out such an admiration, but Jin Weixin did not feel the slightest surprise, but nodded heavily.

From the beginning of the battle of Xinhui, Chen Kai has been strategizing step by step, all in their eyes. Especially the strategy that led the Qing army to go deeper, Chen Kai concealed Lian Chengbi and wanted to show Shang Kexi, but he did not hide it from Jin Weixin, and also sent the strategy to Li Dingguo's hands through Jin Weixin, so as to realize the joint attack of the Jiangmen War.

"To put it mildly, Chen Fujun is a white ding, who has read sage books for a few years at most, and he doesn't even have a reputation. However, today's achievements, the great things that have been done over the years, are no longer comparable to those Jinshi and people. If you want to realize the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, in the final analysis, it still depends on ability, not the results of the imperial examination. ”

"That's true, after all, this is still a troubled time, and it's not only those who read the sages well and have good luck in the exams are qualified to govern the country. Aside from this qualification, there will always be more characters who are not lucky enough to take the test, but who are very capable. Zhao Pu, the founding prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Xianggong, wasn't he a genius who ruled the world with half a book? ”

They are better than Chen Kai, and there is always a fame of all beings there. But he did not take the road of the imperial examination, but like Chen Kai, he started from the staff of the marshal of the feudal town. In the past few years, Chen Kai has gone from an unclothed Bai Ding to a high position as a governor, a dignified second-class officer, and this post-war promotion must also be indispensable. Isn't this kind of character, such an experience, exactly what they are striving for now?

Thinking of this, the two of them were overjoyed, as if they had seen a future where they could also be like Chen Kai. Just a moment later, Gong Ming continued to secretly swear that he would work harder, but Jin Weixin suddenly remembered what Chen Kai had mentioned to him earlier, saying that they were by Li Dingguo's side, and there would be more opportunities to become officials in the future.

"What the hell does that mean?"

In and out of these words, it always made him feel that there seemed to be some pun intended, especially after this great victory, which made him always think carefully and rethink what Chen Kai said, as if there was something worth digging in every sentence.

However, at this time, their first task is to prioritize the inventory of seizures, which is the most urgent thing. Taking history as a mirror, a large part of the reason for the failure of Song Taizong's Northern Expedition was that the merit of breaking Taiyuan was not rewarded in time, which led to the resentment of the sergeants. Now it is true that the famous city has been recovered and the main force of the Qing army has been defeated, but if there is any trouble coming out again, if it is not rewarded in time, it will inevitably be a big hidden danger.

In order to put an end to hidden dangers, Li Dingguo, Guo Zhiqi and Chen Kai all believed that they should give priority to counting silver and cloth, and the direction of their work was naturally decided.

I didn't sleep until I couldn't sleep, and I finally counted them out as quickly as possible. But after counting the silver of the two palaces, he found an incredible thing, that is, the silver of the Pingnan Mansion was much less than that of the Jingnan Palace.

"Isn't that guy used to buy antique calligraphy and paintings?"

When the word buy came out, Guo Zhiqi felt ridiculous. On the ground in Guangdong, aside from Chen Kai's territory, where is not what this prince of Pingnan wants. With Shang Kexi's usual style, and then look at the group of bastards under him, a few of them seem to be fair traders, and he only said it once.

Returning to Inspector Guo's words, the student turned over the account book, which mentioned the donation to the temple, and there were a lot of times. In particular, the temple of the natural mage. ”

This natural mage, commonly known as Zeng Qixin, a native of Panyu, Guangzhou, was a leader of Guangdong Buddhism in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It is said that after the Guangzhou Massacre, Shang Kexi had nightmares at every turn, and often wandered around various temples and Taoist temples in an attempt to achieve peace of mind. In Haizhuang Temple, he met the abbot at that time, the natural monk, under the guidance of the natural monk, Shang Kexi seemed to have an epiphany, and wanted to make up for what he had done. So, he listened to the persuasion of the natural monk and took the lead in expanding the Haizhuang Temple, so as to surpass the souls who died in the ten-day massacre.

Shang Kexi was like this, and even with Shang Kexi's wife, that is, the princess Shu of Pingnan, Xu Erxian, the general soldier of the left wing, and the officials of all sizes in the city also donated generously, and the sea temple was built more and more spectacularly, and soon became the crown of the four jungles in Guangdong.

This process has now been interrupted by Chen Kai. Whether the monk is happy or not, Chen Kai doesn't care much, but Shang Kexi still has nightmares, and he has to rely on the monk for psychological counseling, and then think about what his subordinates are doing in Xinhui, and then think about the stubbornness of this guy, it is really hopeless.

Ling Chi in the east of the city continued, Chen Kai heard this, he was always a little unhappy, and simply sent someone over and told the executioner to cut a few more knives - conscience found that it was never said by mouth, nor by adding sesame oil money to the Buddhist temple, in the final analysis, Shang Kexi knew that he was guilty, but he just died without repentance, these knives were even for the Ming army and the people who died at his hands after the Guangzhou Massacre in history.

The annual income of the two kings of Pingnan and Jingnan was quite large, but the accounts showed that it was not only various expenses, but also those who had to be sent to the capital to bribe those Manchu magnates. In addition, this year, Li Dingguo swept through western Guangdong, and his income was almost negligible, and the silver treasury of the two palaces together turned out 1.5 or 600 million taels of silver.

"Let's give it first."

There's no way, it's always bad if you don't get rewarded for your merits. The rewards of the four battles before and after, the nearly 100,000 soldiers of the three groups, just calculated according to the merits of participating in the war, seeing the silver scattered out, there is probably not much left. However, at this time, in exchange for the joy of the generals and soldiers of the Ming army in various departments, Chen Kai was even more sure that these troops would not be able to fight any more tough battles for the time being.

The real money is rewarded, and when it is over, there is really nothing left. Next, we finally reached the core stage of dividing the spoils, and as long as we got the movable property, real estate, luxury goods, and works of art, since it was a joint operation, we had to have something for each.
