Nanjing will be chaotic, it is normal.

In the original plan of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor sat in the imperial capital, controlled everything, relied on the economic materials of the south of the Yangtze River, as well as waterway transportation to control local government affairs.

But there was something he didn't expect.

The great development of commerce further bankrupted the peasants, and he could not have imagined that the number of clans had swelled, adding a huge burden to the imperial court, which he could not have imagined.

And the collusion between the civil and official groups and local landlords and officials was also something Zhu Yuanzhang never expected!

The Ming Dynasty is not without money, and the sons and brothers represented by the Donglin Party are synonymous with money, but it is impossible for the court to collect taxes on them, even if they collect a penny, a crime of competing with the people for profit and not treating scholars well, there is no civil official who dares to implement such a system!

But the flaw of Zhu Yuanzhang's system is that as a person who died in his family at a very young age, all his resources were given to his children in large quantities, and after his death, the number of clans in the Ming Dynasty exploded, because the princes were too rich and powerful.

Nanjing as a big city, although it is impossible to have a prince stationed, but there are too many forces, although the six departments of Nanjing are nursing homes, but also the rank is there, the Nanjing Five Military Governor's Mansion is also brushing its own sense of existence, although the eunuchs should lose power, but the victory is very united with the eunuchs around the town, everyone has to leave a way back, and although the scholars around the country have fallen a lot, but careerists are always constant.

In this case, it is difficult for the people at the bottom of Nanjing, or all walks of life, to live in peace, so there is a situation where Hou Fangyu, a scholar with no identity, dares to rush to the city gate, and no one dares to stop him, because no one dares to ask him how many backers there are behind him.

And Na An Zaixu was also in this trend, and after finally escaping from prison, he understood the fact that Jiangnan had absolutely no loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, only careerists who took advantage of the opportunity.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly met a person, under the words, but it was very speculative, almost in a word, but what he is doing now is to survive in death, desperate plan!

Money and power are the most important thing.

Unlike the later TV series on which the city gate was opened, the city gate was equal to being opened, a big city like Nanjing, its city gate is often very complicated, thousands of pounds fall, not to mention the hidden soldier hole, usually to pass, is to pass several doors, not to say, after entering is a small playground-sized place, once you find that something is wrong, close the doors on both sides, unless you are a legendary cultivator, otherwise you basically have to kneel.

Hou Fangyu's way of dealing with this extreme situation was to block the mouth, and all the people outside the city who were originally happily doing business were driven away, and they were almost cleared in an instant, this kind of war was first of all feared by the common people, as for the fierce man who followed the army to buy slaves and booty like the Roman merchants, please, you are not surnamed Zhao.

At the same time, in order to prevent the rebellion of the poor ghosts in the city, the small sheds inside and outside the Jinchuan Gate, all kinds of places for people to rest and earn some hard-earned money, were also driven away, if it was from ordinary times, this was to provoke a counterattack, but the big guy put forward by Hou Fangyu seemed to be a bluffer, but no one could take care of it.

The elders consciously did not let Nanjing give birth to a certain emperor who ascended the throne, or the prince who supervised the country, but aimed at those princes who played with the dead country and constantly attacked, and sure enough, they received good results.

Of course, corresponding to this action, more and more big families began to transport their wealth and family members out of the city, in their opinion, if someone from the imperial capital called, they could also talk about the surrender, what kind of thing is Zuo Liangyu, dare to peep at the artifact?

This is like the warlord melee in later generations, and the foreign forces tacitly did not like to let China move towards reunification, until after the rise of the transport captain, some people began to interfere from outside.

Of course, although what Hou Fangyu did was strange, it was not really a problem, the Qianhu Shou of Jinchuan Gate gritted his teeth, but he planned to go to the big guy behind him to cry and complain, anyway, if you can't collect the fee for one day, it means a lot of income, isn't it painful.

As for the thief who was far away in Wuchang, where did he call so quickly, don't you know the geography of me.

But in the next day or two, more and more large and small ships from the upstream ran to Nanjing, and Zuo Menggeng, who played the banner of supporting the prince, was ruthless enough, and the ships of the merchants along the road were basically confiscated.

But what they didn't expect was that when they arrived in Nanjing, they thought they could finally see the arms of the officials and soldiers, but the officials and soldiers directly detained them, and they were charged with a spies, and the things on the ship were inspected and inspected, and after the inspection, basically there was no scum left.

Hou Fangyu cleaned up everything that should be cleaned up outside the Jinchuan Gate, he knew that the Qianhu Shou had already gone to find his backer, but where was this time, hehe.

At the head of the city, he ordered people to slowly raise a flag that had been prepared long ago, on which a few words were written: "Protect Confucianism and defend the country." ”

Qianhu Shou thought about how much money he had lost, but when he got home, he immediately ordered the clerk to quickly write a prayer post, crying that Hou Fangyu took the chicken feather as an arrow to close the Jinchuan Gate, which is a big disrespect for several adults, and this time a lot of business was stirred, and the filial piety that he originally planned to honor Shangguan for the festival was also delayed, this is simply disobedience, as for the Zuo Mengeng little mouse, it is just taking the opportunity to make trouble, and sooner or later it will be suppressed, besides, it is the matter of their two lakes, what is the matter of our Nanjing.

However, the big people are very busy, and when the greeting post is delivered to the house, they will send money to the master and the scholar thousands of times, so that they can see this letter for the first time!

Of course, his mind was all on the money, and the silver that was snowflakes for a day of delay arrived at the gate of another city.

However, this ability to be a subordinate dares to instruct the master.

Yang Wencong quarreled with others for a day before going home.

As a historical figure who is famous for his calligraphy and painting, his political power is not very good, in fact, his military and political knowledge is really poor, but as the original Ma Shiying's party, he still has some methods, and there are too many weak chickens in the officialdom at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

When the news of Zuo Mengeng's rebellion finally reached Nanjing, in fact, Anqing City had been broken, and after they finally deduced the true situation from countless true and false news, Anqing's request for help and the news of the broken city arrived, and Zuo Mengeng rebelled with the western thieves in Sichuan, which shocked everyone in the officialdom.

But opinions cannot be unified, some suggest that the Yangtze River should be blocked with iron cables, and some suggest appeasement and Zhao'an, give Zuo Mengeng an official, smooth his hair, and then slowly figure it out.

Not to mention how unreliable this Xu Xu Tuzhi is, it is so unreliable in this era, he is also a person in his fifties, different from Zhang Dai, who has been pampered all his life, his body is a little bad, and when he returned home, he ate hastily, discussed with his wife how to prepare a plan for his family to run away at any time, returned to the study, wanted to continue to deal with the paperwork, and fiddled with it for a long time before asking: "Is there anything wrong today?" ”

However, before the master first sent the letter of worship to the Qianhu Shou of Jinchuan Gate, he felt sleepy, waved his hand, and went back to the back house to rest.

I didn't sleep well this night, and when I got up the next day, I had already forgotten what was going on in the house, I had breakfast, and I was ready to go back to the yamen office, and I tossed for a long time, and the big sedan chair slowly went out, but it was the thousand households who were waiting outside the door, for the thousands of households, yesterday's financial road was delayed, so I should go to a brothel one less time, but today can not be delayed again, no.

He used to block the sedan chair, but he was already stopped by a few wolf-like family members, but he was wearing official clothes, but he was not easy to abuse.

Arrived in front of Yang Wencong's sedan chair, "Uncle, what should happen to Hou Fangyu, as soon as the city gate is closed, the merchants inside and outside are very shocked. ”

"What kind of person is Hou Fangyu, oh yes, it seems that he heard a little, what did he do again."

It was this Hou Fangyu before, and he vigorously advocated that while the imperial capital had not yet finished recuperating and recuperating, it was not enough to have the strength to quickly organize a Northern Expedition army, sweep Hebei, and at the same time confiscate more and more northern commodities, and directly confiscate these "traitors" of the enemy, this kind of rhetoric naturally offended all kinds of big households, of course, for the sake of the face of the Donglin Party, and the young scholars said all kinds of wild words, drunk and said that if I am in power, I will definitely be able to handsome and strong soldiers to pacify the thieves, and I will just laugh.

"He led people to close the Jinchuan Gate, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, saying that it was Lord Huang and Lord Wu, I don't know the details, I was afraid that you would be embarrassed, so I didn't dare to stop it."

The status of military generals in this era is too low, if it is a guy like Zuo Liangyu who has gradually grown into a warlord, he may be able to turn his head and suppress civilian officials, but he will not dare to confront this kind of power in the hands of literati.

The officialdom of this era has long lost order, and there are no less than a dozen cases of eunuchs asking to enter the palace to serve the elders as eunuchs in the imperial capital.

If you ask your subordinates to abide by the rules and have the courage to enforce the law, you must protect them, even if you offend the powerful, it's okay, and Qianhu Shou knows that if you don't do anything, maybe it's okay, and once you dare to compete with Hou Fangyu, it will be death.

This is also the moment of the end of the world, the reason why such a military place at the gate of the city will actually let a scholar who has no identity mix in, as long as Hou Fangyu is bolder, no one dares to compete with him if he doesn't confirm who is behind it!

Yang Wencong frowned strangely and said, "Huang Ge Lao? Although he is not in good health these days, he is very energetic, and the things he said are also how to block the enemy on the Yangtze River, and he also specifically said that the enemy chieftain is not there, so he must not disturb the people, how can this be, and also, you are not on your duty, what are you doing here. ”

Qianhu Shou wiped his sweat, this time was the most terrifying time, and the reason why he climbed up was because of the elimination of TOEFL before, and many unlucky people who stood on the wrong team gave up their position.

At this point in time, the fortune tellers and drunkards in Nanjing City can be said to be the most honest, and countless people can't listen to the words of any status and wealth to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and those who dare to say strange things basically meet the Lord of Yama.

"It doesn't matter what else I do, when I finish my official business, I will ask him what Huang Daozhou thinks! As for you, hurry back to your seat, and also, without an order, don't close the city gate casually, there is no shortage of money to enter the city, I am afraid that it will make the people uneasy! ”

Qianhu Shou only took the order and left, but Yang Wencong lamented, why didn't he have famous generals like Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu under him, when the time came......

Of course, our Lord Yang will never admit that if there are famous generals with a little ability under his rule, they will almost be killed at the first time to prevent them from rebelling and becoming uncontrolled.

This is not a trivial matter either.

After returning to the official office, he wrote a post, a very formal inquiry, of course, to maintain the face of the Zodiac Zhou, I only thought that it would not be until the evening, the Zodiac Zhou would give himself an answer, but what I didn't expect was that almost behind the messenger, the Zodiac Zhou had already arrived.

"The old man never ordered someone to close the Jinchuan Gate, whether it was someone who spread the news falsely and falsely, and also, I really heard about the closure of the Jinchuan Gate, and I was thinking about asking the Ministry of War how it was planned."

"What!" Yang Wencong was frightened now, he said: "It's not Huang Lao, what kind of person is that, hurry up and ask everywhere, don't mess with people's hearts." ”

Huang Daozhou said sharply: "If you have to take down that kid quickly and open the door again, otherwise people's hearts will be confused, and this thing must be done immediately." ”

The two old men began to mobilize people, but at this time, they all knew that having soldiers in troubled times was the truth of the grass king, and the problem of empty salaries in Nanjing City and the corruption of soldiers were extremely serious.

In the Taiping Rebellion of later generations, the core of 30,000 Guangxi wolf soldiers almost fought all over the world, but in the later period, after the veterans withered, with Jiangsu and Zhejiang soldiers as the main force, they quickly failed, the reason is not complicated, the people here are relatively good at eating, but from the large-scale meat eating and combat in later generations, there is no need to fight face to face and some distance.

instructed someone to do things, and the two discussed for a while about the affairs of armor protection, as well as how to draw troops, and at the same time expressed uneasiness to Zuo Mengeng, who was suddenly restless upstream.

"I don't know why, when I heard Hou Fangyu's name, I felt a little familiar."

"It's nothing, crazy life."
