"We could have been friends."

In the prison of the General Soldier's Mansion, Yang Dudu looked at Zheng Zheng opposite and said.

The latter was not tied or shackled, but sat cross-legged in the straw, surrounded by cute little animals such as cockroaches and mice.

"Even me and the people behind you could have been friends."

Yang Xin said.

The soldiers in the back brought him a Taishi chair.

"But you've always been hostile to me.

Why is that? I've been confused.

Have I done anything heinous to you guys? Did I start this struggle that has lasted for more than two years?

Not at all.

The original cause was nothing more than that on the day of the death of the Guangmiao, Yang Lian and others ran to the Qianqing Palace to rob His Majesty, they conspired with Wang An and others to drag His Majesty out of the Qianqing Palace, that was really dragged out, Wang An hugged His Majesty and dragged it out, Yang Lian and others continued outside, and when I arrived, I was already stuffing it into the sedan chair.

Is this the work of a minister?

Isn't this a deception of orphans and widows?

Yang is also a Jinyi guard, how can he sit idly by?

After that, it was Li Sancai who conspired with them and tried to kill Yang, and this was what Yang saw and heard with his own eyes.

I followed Wang Wenyan.

I followed him to infiltrate Li Sancai's mansion in the capital, and then hid nearby to watch them conspire, and then the plan was calculated, Li Sancai's collusion with the Wenxiang Sect to rebel was indeed a false accusation, but the millions of wealth accumulated by his family were not false at all, and most of the crimes reported by the people of Zhangjiawan were true. But you ran to the Nanjing Crying Temple for him and demonstrated to Your Majesty in this way, and Your Majesty was angry and sent me south with Yan Sheng Gong to try to appease you, otherwise what would Yan Sheng Gong do if he went south?

As a result, Ye Maocai bribed the defenders of Qingliu Pass and tried to intercept me.

Since he intercepted and killed me, then of course I want to retaliate, and he went to intercept and kill me, do you think Gao Panlong may not know or even participate?

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are not something that Ye Mao can come up with.

Yang doesn't have the habit of letting go of the enemy, since they want to kill me, then don't blame me for killing them, but this doesn't seem to have anything to do with anyone else, right? As a result, on the way I went to Wuxi, it was really more murderous than the Liaodong battlefield, first hired pirates to intercept and kill, and then Wujin closed the door and did not let me in, and prepared to close the city to beat me, and when I arrived in Henglin, you buried gunpowder for me, and the city of Wuxi shouted and beaten, and Qian Shisheng also hired foreign Yi to assassinate, which is simply to treat me as an enemy who does not share the sky.

But I'm just going to catch Gao Panlong.

He was the only one who was my enemy, and you all jumped out at once.

Why are you doing this? ”

Yang Dudu sat on the Taishi chair and said in confusion.

"Because you've broken the rules."

Zheng said.

"Ah, that's the truth."

Yang Xin said with a smile.

"In the final analysis, you are just because I helped Your Majesty, you are just because I let Your Majesty really have the power to kill you, you don't need to be like a temple, you are helpless, I made Your Majesty really like an emperor, then I really want to ask, this is your advertised loyalty?

Is this a loyal servant?

Loyal ministers are trying to cut off the emperor's hands and feet?

The loyal minister is to find ways to get rid of the people who help the emperor do things, and then let the emperor become a caged bird and a puppet that can be manipulated, even if he is dragged out of his palace, he can only honestly accept his fate?

What about loyal ministers? ”

Yang Xin said disdainfully.

"The Tao is different, and it is not the same."

Zheng Zheng said very dryly.

"What is your word?

Perhaps I can guess what your word should look like.

First, the co-governance of monarchs and ministers.

The monarch and the minister were collaborators, not rulers and ruled, just like the Song Dynasty, where the emperor and the scholars ruled the world together.

Second, perhaps the prime minister should be reinstated.

To limit the hereditary monarch with a non-hereditary prime minister, it is best that the prime minister is not chosen by the monarch, but by the scholars, then there must be a way of selection.

This is the third, to discuss politics with the academy.

The academy will jointly elect this prime minister, and in the future, all major national affairs will be decided by the academy, but the emperor still has force in his hands, which is what you are most afraid of, so there should be a way for you to also master force and fight against the emperor when necessary, so this is the fourth.

Fourth, rebuild the feudal town.

Give local officials more power, including military power, but local officials cannot be appointed by the emperor, they should be the same as the prime minister, they are all elected by the academy, and it is best to be the kind of people that the great Confucians and gentry like, but these are not enough, it is better to be able to determine them in writing, that is, to turn these into laws, and the emperor must also abide by them, since the emperor has a constitution in his mouth, it is called the constitution.

Fifth, this constitution was formulated.

Then you can begin your world of great harmony.

Am I guessing right? ”

Yang Dudu said.

"Yes!"

Zheng Zheng said without hesitation.

And it is obvious that the heart is surging.

Speaking of their tastes, Yang Dudu is still very clear that this Datong society with Huang Zongxi's revised version is definitely in line with their appetite, because this is what they have always dreamed of.

"Yes, there is a fart, and you can't do it."

Yang Dudu said.

"If you understand this, why do you have to oppose us?"

Zheng said.

"Because I like it? I like to watch the bad luck of the princes, I like to watch the gentry shout that the people are not happy, I like to take what you call the people, open your granary, empty your grain, and divide your land, your great harmony?

That is your world of great harmony. ”

Yang Xin sneered.

Zheng Zheng looked at him with hatred again.

"What do you want to do with Zheng, do you want Ling Chi or do you want me to taste torture and die?"

Zheng Zheng said proudly.

"Kill you? No, I like to use waste to maximize its value, and if you kill someone, you will definitely not be able to use it again, and a dead body will have no value, so I am going to exile you and exile you to the island as a coolie to mine for me, so that even if you die of exhaustion in the end, you can bring me as much profit as possible. ”

Yang Xin said.

He has already begun preparations to dig up guano on the Diaoyu Islands.

However, the guano there is mainly in Huangweiyu, and Huangweiyu is not really able to live in people, so the base of the residents can only be set up in Diaoyu Island, but first of all, the reservoir must be repaired to connect the stream water, the food is very easy to solve, just fish in the nearby sea, and it is not difficult to transport, but it is necessary to establish a base in northern Taiwan. Then you can throw away all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods that have been hoarded during this period, let them live on Diaoyu Island, row boats to Huangwei Island in shifts to dig guano, dig enough boats and transport them back to Diaoyu Island, and then regularly pass over from Keelung, fill the boats, and then take the warm current of Taiwan to the north, land in Ningbo, and transport northward by inland water.

Or directly north to Tianjin.

Anyway, there is a Kuroshio and its branches to the north, and the warm current acts as a highway.

Going south, taking the coastal stream and crossing the Taiwan Strait to the north of Taiwan, this circular route ensures transportation in most seasons of the year.

Although there are not many guano in Huangweiyu, it is enough for these coolies to dig to death.

This can be regarded as allowing these guys to transform themselves in labor, and by the way, they are also growing up in suffering, as long as they are tired and do not die, they will be fully enlightened.

Zheng Zheng certainly didn't know what that meant.

He had already put life and death aside, and he only scoffed at Yang Xin's threat.

"Can you give me some books, paper and pen?"

He said.

"Yes!"

Yang Dudu said very cheerfully.

Then he got up and left, as for the interrogation is not necessary, for a person who even carries the edict, there is no need to torture at all, originally in history, this guy was in the edict for two years, and in the end, Ling Chi was carried to the execution ground, so that the person who can still write "An iron flute descends to Yunzhou, blowing through the eternal sorrow of Jiangtian", there is no need to humiliate with torture.

At this time, it was already early in the morning, and Yang Dudu, who walked out of the prison, sighed about the fall of another righteous man, and then went to continue to do bad things in a comfortable mood.

And at this time, a battle was unfolding not far away.

Tiger Head Gate.

"Zhang Pu, it's Zhang Pu!"

On the deck of the cruiser Zhiyuan, the former Dongjiang Navy Division, Yang Huan held a telescope and looked at a man in a green shirt on the approaching merchant ship and said.

He went to Dongguan to raid his home.

But because it happened to be in the low tide and the wind direction was wrong, the Zhiyuan he took and the Jingyuan accompanying him had to temporarily stay at Hutoumen to wait for the rising tide.

From Guangzhou to Dongguan at this time the land route is very troublesome, because the intricate waterways of the Dongjiang Estuary are horizontal, and there is no bridge, there can be no bridge, at this time a lot of land in the Dongjiang Estuary has not really formed, so the land route needs to go around to the upstream to cross the river in the Jingkou area to go ashore to Dongguan, so that the waterway is the most convenient choice, but the waterway in the Pearl River Estuary such an environment, it must be subject to the tide.

And there is a garrison in Hutoumen, so Yang Huan naturally came here to wait for the rising tide.

It's just that soon after the tide began to rise, he sailed out of Humen, and he met this merchant ship, which was originally none of his business, but he didn't expect to see an acquaintance on this ship.

Of course he knew Zhang Pu.

As Yang Xin's cronies, when he dealt with Yang Xin's follow-up affairs in Wuxi and other places, he dealt with these Su Song scholars a lot of times, and Zhang Pu, as a leader, also caused him a lot of trouble.

"Stop them!"

Yang Huan said without hesitation.

Zhang Pu appeared in Guangdong, and left in a hurry at this time, it must be related to the previous Guangzhou civil uprising, this guy is a master of organizing the popular uprising, Yang Huan has been taught many times, and when he saw Zhang Pu, he immediately thought of the previous popular uprising.

The battleship that had already taken advantage of the tide under his feet immediately turned, and the merchant ship on the opposite side, unable to move forward because of the high tide, was also turning east into a waterway to evade, and the three ships quickly turned to the side of each other, and the tide pushed them to close the distance......

"Run, it's Yang Xin's minions!"

On the merchant ship, Zhang Pu, who finally saw Yang Huan's figure clearly, immediately let out a frightened scream.
