Chapter 679: Who the hell is it
The thief army has not gone far, the Tartars will enter the customs, the whole capital is shrouded in a gloomy fog, the common people are panicked all day long, the gentry and the big families are frowning and looking around for news, and some even began to pack their bags, although the Tartars have twice before the city and did not break the city, but at that time there were heavy troops in Gyeonggi, although they could not fight but could scare people, but now Gyeonggi has a hair.
Of course, there is a group of people who maintain an excited mood at any time, spitting and pushing their chests in the teahouse restaurant, talking about the current situation, on how to resist the Tartars, on how to march and fight, and the important thing at the end is to scold a few words of incompetence in the court, that's right, they are the keyboard warriors of the Ming Dynasty, literati!
The keyboard warrior relied on a mouth to turn over the clouds, but at the head of the national disaster, there were still loyal and patriotic people who raised their arms and shouted that the army and the people should unite to resist foreign humiliation, which was the Octopus Chamber of Commerce, which had just been established not long ago, and joined hands with dozens of merchants in the afternoon to launch fundraising in the capital, and hundreds of people took to the streets to pull banners and shout slogans, and did their best to protect the family and defend the country.
At the same time, almost all the nobles in the capital received a post, Jin Yiwei commanded Wu Mengming to raise donations in his personal name, saying: "The national disaster is at the head, the husband is responsible, and all the monarchs are meritorious heroes, and they must take the lead, and they have money to pay for food and grain" If someone eats the king's Lu and does not do the loyal thing, he Wu Mengming will die to the end.
Not a little accident, the nobles who received this post all scolded at home, what are your things, you let you donate, but the high-sounding righteousness of this thing Ling Ran can't refute, and some are wondering if it is a play directed by Emperor Chongzhen in the back, so these nobles began to visit the door and ask each other what the news is.
Whether it is the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen or Wu Mengming's personal behavior is still inconclusive for a while, but each family has brought an explosion news, Wu Mengming set up a platform on Qianmen Street, saying that the Tartar soldiers are coming to the city, seeing that the lives are ruined and even the capital is not guaranteed, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he should share the worries for the king, and as the people of the Ming Dynasty, he is willing to do his best to help the Ming officers and soldiers kill the enemy. And said that he has called on all the nobles in Beijing to donate money and food together, if those nobles do not donate, they are ruthless, unrighteous and have no conscience, he Wu Mengming will die to the end and scold from house to house...... Immediately, the people applauded, and they all coaxed him to scold him, and the entire future generations were forced to donate textbooks.
Wu Mengming's so-called family background is three thousand taels of silver, and the title deed of an old mansion, his behavior naturally attracted a good impression, and for a time the cheers spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and everyone said that the Jinyi guard commanded both loyalty and righteousness, compared to those noble families, it was a world of difference.
Dog's day, donate it yourself, why do you want to pull us into the water, after hearing the news, many nobles and nobles were scolded, Wu Mengming's hand is simply amazing, using the situation of Tartar soldiers coming to the city to create public opinion pressure to let them donate silver, and one mouth is thousands, it is simply bad.
But if you don't donate, you will really be drowned by spitting, and the people will point their noses and scold in the future, who is who, who is still a dime when the national disaster is at the head, why does the court raise this kind of white-eyed wolf waste...... I'm afraid that even the emperor won't look down on him in the future, so I can't find a reason to take the title directly one day.
However, people with a heart have already smelled a smell of conspiracy, they don't believe that Wu Mengming's goods are so righteous, and they keep saying that they launched fundraising in their personal names, and the ghost knows if it is to take the blame for that person, he is the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
So the three grandfathers of the three countries communicated with some bigwigs in the cabinet in a very fast time, and then jointly wanted to see Emperor Chongzhen, saying that Wu Mengming's messing around like this will make the already panicked capital even more smoky, although fundraising is not illegal, but it is immoral for you to force donations.
Emperor Chongzhen unexpectedly saw it, and then said coldly: "When the national disaster is at hand, the husband is responsible, the common people in the city and some businessmen are enthusiastic to donate money and food, shouldn't you donate when you receive the emperor's grace on weekdays, can't you don't donate, or don't want to donate?" And made it clear that Wu Mengming's personal behavior had nothing to do with him and the royal family, and he would not interfere or stop it, and even felt that such a loyal and patriotic act should be commended.
Emperor Ninety-Five, said that this matter has nothing to do with him, everyone also believed, although Emperor Chongzhen was sarcastic and sarcastic, thick-skinned they even slightly relieved, if it was just Wu Mengming's personal behavior, it would be easy to do, he would not bird him if he did not bird him in the name of Jinyiwei, if he wanted to be hammered to death by the civil official group in the name of Jinyiwei, and even Chongzhen could not get rid of the relationship, as for the moment, the donation is to be donated, but it will be thousands of dreams.
But where did Wu Mengming, a guy who is usually full of money, come from this courage and righteousness, there must be someone behind him, since he is not the emperor, then ...... The little eunuch of the East Factory.
Everyone couldn't help but shudder, they were afraid of Chang Yu from the bottom of their hearts, after all, there were too many people in Xungui who were made by him, the last time he used the officers and soldiers of the Jingjing Battalion for private use, 80% of the Xungui were all picked up by him, and later someone actually bought a murderer to assassinate him, and almost broke into the Dongchang Prison, and finally went bankrupt and only came out with skin and bones.
The so-called biting dogs don't bark, the little eunuchs have always looked harmless to humans and animals, and they have never been publicized, compared to Wei Zhongxian, it can be said that they are low-key and terrifying. But in this way, the fear of him was far greater than the scourge of the past.
Because the scourge at least had a handle to engrave him, the Donglin Party Group could still find a stubble to wrestle with him, but the little eunuch never showed his head when he did bad things, and he couldn't catch him at all.
I'm scared, I'm afraid, the little eunuch is ruthless, and no one will give him face, and he still won't provoke him, and now the Tartar has to count on him to defend against the enemy, but then again, he came back from the south in a hurry and was so busy, did he really have time to give Wu Mengming this ghost idea.
Whatever, Wu Mengming also said in his personal name anyway, since this is how many means he can have, as long as he dares to use the Jinyi Wei force, he can be regarded as having a handle.
A group of people went out of the palace with their own hearts, at this time it was already dusk, just when the city gate was about to be closed, the officers and soldiers who were training outside returned to the city, and the people had already spread the word that the officers and soldiers had gone to fight the Tartars.
Wang Jiayan has not slept for two days and one night, his eyes are bloodshot, his face is full of fatigue but the corners of his mouth are smiling, he just entered the city and did not have a military camp when a fast horse came running, and Emperor Chongzhen summoned him into the palace to face the saint.
