Chapter 170 Those who want to achieve great things are not informal
For the next half month, Yang Xin dragged boxes full of silver and kept wandering among the mountains, coercing and luring those shanty people in his own unique way, whether they were vagrants who planted hemp seeds, sand people who mined, fugitive slaves, or simply entrenched in the mountains and forests......
Anyway, he wants it.
Young and middle-aged men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five do not have any contracts, and these people do not have a household registration to sign a Mao contract, in short, those who are willing to go will receive five taels of silver for the settlement fee plus two taels of travel expenses, and find a way to go to Anqing and find the people waiting there. As for those who don't go after receiving the money, the one who will see his violent painting style first, anyway, these shantymen have their own leaders and stockades, and if they dare to cheat money, don't blame him for slaughtering the village, and it is definitely not worth abandoning the villager for those few taels of silver.
If you dare to cheat him out of money, the whole village is unlucky.
In fact, he is not so stupid, just like he said, didn't he really beckon his subordinates, and he was so idle that he ran to this deep mountain old forest to play with silver?
And the salary of two taels of silver per month is also worth the hearts of these shantyholders, although Yang Xin never said what he was going to do, but no matter what he did, it was worth going to two taels of silver a month, not to mention that the settling-in fee and travel expenses were directly received. More than a dozen young people in the village went together, and when they arrived in Anqing, they were drifting down the river, even if they didn't want to return the settlement fee to him with him, they should all take his travel money out for a walk.
In short, his subordinates expanded rapidly.
Soon it will be more than a thousand.
Of course, the money was also spent.
During this period, Yang Xin went out of the mountains from time to time to get money from Qianzhuang and discussed science with Song Yingxing.
The latter has been completely conquered.
After all, this kind of science lover is the easiest to fall in front of Yang Xin.
It is enough to throw out some of the things he used to coax the little emperor before, not only Song Yingxing, but the whole Song family is very polite to this businessman who is said to be from the river. Even Song Yingxing introduced him to several Jiangxi families, such as Wan Shihua, Yang Tinglin, and Li Mingrui, who was originally a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and Xiong Wenju. Among them, there are people like Yang Tinglin who resisted the Qing Dynasty and martyred the country, and there are also Li Mingrui who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and this guy is also one of the main ministers who blocked Chongzhen's southern crossing.
At this time, Nanchang can be said to be a powerful cultural circle.
A bunch of celebrities.
Including Jiang Riguang, who had just been left in the Hanlin Academy, was also from Nanchang, and the Song brothers happened to be important members of this circle, to be precise, they belonged to a Yuzhang Society that was as famous as the later Restoration Society.
The leader is Song Yingxing's friend Wan Shihua.
These people are also important students of the White Deer Cave Academy, and the mountain chief of the White Deer Cave Academy, Shu Yuejing, is the teacher of these people, it can be said that the Yuzhang Society represents the core of the entire Jiangxi Shilin, but this circle is not very old-fashioned, and Yang Xin or Yang Feng can bring a lot of novelties, especially the guy who occasionally plagiarizes a few words of Wang Guowei, it is easy to mix with them......
Of course, he's still very bold.
No one would have thought that he was the traitor of the entire Jiangnan Shilin.
No one knows him here.
In fact, Yang Xin's whereabouts are still unknown.
Moreover, Yang Xin's whereabouts are unknown, which is causing countless cheers in Jiangnan.
Of course, the truth before Qingliu Pass cannot be made public, except for a few high-ranking members of the Donglin Party, no one knows what happened that day, what the outside world can know, is that Yan Shenggong cooperated with the Donglin Party to make up that they were attacked by bandits, and the Jinyi guards who guarded them were all wiped out, and Yang Yanshi's whereabouts are unknown, and he was seriously injured and rescued by the defenders of Qingliu Pass. This matter is as simple as that, and the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu even mobilized thousands of troops to sweep the area around Qingliuguan, but of course the result was nothing.
In short, Yang Yan is missing.
The Nanjing Military Department Shangshu also reported in this way.
His Majesty the Emperor only issued an order to search, of course, His Majesty the Emperor actually knew, Yang Xin had sent Yang Huan and a few Jinyi guards out separately before, and they would report Yang Xin's true intentions to the emperor, so Tianqi just ordered Yan Shenggong to recuperate well in Nanjing. Poor Yan Shenggong broke a leg, and there were many wounds on his body by broken wood, fortunately he was not directly hit by the shotgun, but the one on the leg really caused a heavy injury, and he had to amputate his leg in order to avoid greater damage......
"Do you think that Yang Xin is hiding and secretly engaging in some conspiracy?"
Yang Xin said.
At this time, he was on the Pavilion of King Teng.
"Brother Yang thinks he's not dead?"
A member of the Yuzhang Society, Ai Nanying, who originally died in Yanping with King Tang in history, said.
"Brother Qianzi, he didn't die so easily, you don't know this person very well, but I have seen him a few times in the capital, he is also my fellow villager, he was originally a smuggled salt seller, he was an ordinary person, and then I don't know why he suddenly said that he got the guidance of the gods, and it was like being reborn all of a sudden. That's really the courage of ten thousand people, a hundred and twenty pounds of heavy knives every day, so that it looks like nothing, and usually wears heavy armor, hundreds of pounds of heavy armor can be worn faster than a galloping horse, a few assassins are not worth mentioning at all.
A hundred and ten assassins were not enough for him to kill.
Since there is no dead body of him, he must not be dead.
That's the problem.
Why didn't he show up if he didn't die?
I guess he did it on purpose, so that he was in the dark Donglin Qunxian in the light, so that he could act, and no one in Jiangnan knew what he looked like, he just had to act secretly and collect things that were unfavorable to Donglin Qunxian, and then there would be a surprise attack.
I'm afraid that when he appears again, it will be when this Jiangnan has set off a bloody storm.
Don't underestimate this person.
It is said that this person is very good at concealment, and will easily penetrate the house and cross the ridge like walking on the ground, and it is even rumored that he knows magic, Wang Zhiyu's son offended him, and was hung on the city tower by him in the middle of the night, and no one noticed the whole process, this kind of means is extremely terrifying, to say that at this moment he has sneaked into Donglin Academy to peep, then I will never be surprised, I still say that, you can't deal with him with this ordinary means.
It will only be broken by him individually.
To deal with him, you must use a dignified teacher, so you can directly find out with the emperor whether you want this traitor or the hearts of the people in the world! ”
Yang Xin said.
He's just playing an instigator.
He just wanted to encourage these guys, and then these guys would encourage Donglin Qunxian, and then let Donglin Qunxian take Jiangnan Shizi to block the canal, and then he would use this as a reason to suppress it.
Otherwise, he has no reason to do it.
At most, he now went to Nanjing to arrest the Qingliuguan garrison, and then tortured him to find out the truth about his assassination, but if Kong Yinzhi was bitten to death, he would have no excuse for encountering bandits. Kong Yinzhi will definitely do this, and then force Kong Yinzhi to go to the academies with him to find fault, but Kong Yinzhi has broken his leg and can't carry him there! In short, he needs a big case, and these people from the Yuzhang Society can obviously be used, the two major academies of Donglin and Bailudong are basically advancing and retreating together, and these people from the Yuzhang Society are considered to be the periphery of the Donglin Party.
It can't be counted as a youth league.
At this time, the Restoration Society, which had not yet been established, was.
But the Yuzhang Society and the Donglin Party can also be counted as allies.
They can influence the Donglin Party.
"But this is a bit out of place after all!"
Another member, Chen Hongxu, said.
"Those who want to achieve great things are not informal, what you want is for the emperor to release people and rehabilitate Li Sancai, but your methods are meaningless at all, and no matter how much public opinion you create among the people, it is meaningless to the emperor.
Because he can't hear at all.
He was at the palace.
All the outside recitals and complaints were all sent to the celebrant first, and the palm print of the celebrant was Yang Xin's uncle Wei Zhongxian, and the main eunuch Liu Shimin and others were all his comrades, do you expect the emperor to hear it?
Joke!
No one reported to him how did he know?
Even if it is the secret performance of the Nanjing garrison eunuch, don't you have to go to the ceremonial eunuch in the end? It is impossible for the celebrant to know anything if he does not report to the emperor, and our new monarch is said to have never been to the court, let alone the minister, but only made some messy toys in the palace, after all, he is only fifteen years old, and he can't even do without his nursing mother. The cabinet is said to be only the elder of the pavilion can be summoned from time to time, Han Ge Lao and Liu Ge Lao have to be conveyed by the old Fang Ge to convey His Majesty's will, that the niece of the old Fang Ge has long been Yang Xin's person, and this matter was spread throughout the capital at the beginning, and almost everyone knew about it.
Who do you think the Fang Pavilion Elder will be with?
If you want the emperor to know, you have to do something big.
It's useless to make a fuss. ”
Yang Xin said.
"Brother Yang is reasonable, let's cry the temple so far, has there been any movement in the imperial court? Isn't it obvious that Yang Xin wants to go south? The emperor didn't pay attention to our grievances at all, but let Yang Xin go south to deal with us, so it was useless for us to go to Beijing and beat the drum, and those disciples of Xiu Wugong didn't knock it, but didn't they take five lives in vain? ”
Xiong Wenju said.
"Yes, let's go to block the canal, we are not openly rebelling, we just go to Beijing to complain, and then everyone buys a boat and hires a boat, sails to Yangzhou to block the canal, or simply scuttles the boat, we just accidentally sink the ship." Three or five ships sank in front, and hundreds of ships poured into the canal to block them in the back, so that we are not guilty, and the rest is to continue to block, when will the emperor release people and when will we disperse. ”
Li Mingrui also said excitedly.
"That's a brilliant plan!"
Yang Xin said.
I have to say that Xiao Li still has some brains.
"This is a very important matter, I have to go to Donglin Academy to discuss with Mr. Jingyi."
Wan Shihua said.
"I still think this is inappropriate, after all, the north is still at war with Jiannu, and if the canal is blocked and there is chaos, it will be our guilt."
Yang Tinglin said with a frown.
He is Qingjiang that is, Zhangshu people, Qingjiang Yang is a pharmaceutical family, Qingjiang is the largest medicinal material processing and trading market in the Ming Dynasty, he is the main staff of Lu Xiangsheng, Ganzhou anti-Qing army defeated and committed suicide.
"Brother Bo Fu, you're still too stubborn!"
Yang Xin said disdainfully.
Li Mingrui and Xiong Wenju nodded in agreement.
