Chapter 10: Fame
Wen Tiren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had a dry mouth and a dry mouth arguing with a group of political enemies in the early dynasty, and he didn't even drink tea for a few minutes after sitting down in the office of the Ministry of Rites, and he was told by Xiao Si sent by the government that his favorite youngest son had been taken away by Jinyiwei and had not returned overnight, along with the baby son of his good friend Jingzhao Mansion Yin.
He inquired in detail about the origin of the incident, and it was actually the commander of the Jinyi Guard who personally led the team to arrest him, and the reason was just for the sake of the two people's girls.
In an instant, his eyes were black and he almost fell, shouting loudly that his family was unfortunate and that he had no way to teach his son, and after a while, he hurried to the imperial study to meet Chongzhen, Wen Tiren as an old fritter who had been in the political arena for decades.
His political sense is very sharp, even if it is a hint of wind and grass, thinking of the Jingzhao Mansion Yin was reprimanded by Wang Chengen last night for improper handling of the disaster victims, and why this small man from the south of the Yangtze River has so much courage and energy, it is not enough to rely on a Jinyi guard commander.
Gangnam! The two words were particularly eye-catching, and he subconsciously thought of his old opponents Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru. Could it be that the Donglin Party is behind the ghost, he knows the cruelty of politics very clearly, it is murder without blood, and the knife is going to die, it seems that he really underestimated those guys, and they seized such a little opportunity to turn up such a big storm, and this Shen Xing couldn't keep him.
Wen Tiren recalled that a few days ago, the concierge reported that Zhang Hanru, a student from Jiangnan, asked to see Qian Qianyi and made a group of friends in the township, spreading strange theories and slandering the government all day long.
I made up my mind in my heart, and as soon as I entered the imperial study, I bowed down and wept bitterly, and Chongzhen comforted him for a while before stopping. "Pavilion Elder, he has always been loyal to the country, working day and night on state affairs, and it is reasonable for me to neglect discipline in trivial matters at home, how can I blame it, but the son of an important minister in the DPRK bullied a woman from a good family on the street and fought with others, it is inevitable that he will lose the country's body, Luo commanded a small punishment and a big precept Pavilion Elder should be considerate."
"The old minister doesn't dare, the dog broke into such a catastrophe, the minister will definitely not bend the law for personal gain, and ask His Majesty to punish him heavily, in order to set an example, the old minister is just ashamed at this time, the son is not the fault of the father, the old minister's family has such a disobedient person, the old minister no longer has the face to take on the value of the cabinet, and please ask Your Majesty to allow the old minister to return to the countryside for this remnant life."
Chongzhen put down the file in his hand, smiled slightly, walked down the steps, and helped Wen Tiren up, "Elder Wen Ge, the Ming Dynasty is inseparable from you, bring the child back and educate it well, don't think too much, accompany me to use Zaoshan, I still have some things to discuss with you about the resettlement of the disaster victims." Wen Tiren was flattered, and wanted to bow down to Xie En, but when he saw Chongzhen holding him, he hid his face and cried bitterly.
On the other side, Shen Xing, who had just woken up, opened his eyes and saw a pair of cute twins holding basins, hand towels and toothbrushes, standing in front of his bed, delicate hair accessories, floral clothes with a southern style, compared with last night, it was completely new, where was there still half a country girl. "Young master, the slave maid is waiting for you to change your clothes."
Shen Xing looked at the dementia, and let the two girls fiddle. "Are your mother and brother settled?" "The big housekeeper found the best Langzhong, and said that let the mother and younger brother help cook in the backyard after their physical recovery, the mother and the younger brother are happy, and the mother let the big flower and the little flower must serve the young master well in the future to repay the young master for saving his life."
Big flower and small flower, this name is really unbearable, Shen Xing rubbed his somewhat swollen eyes and picked up a warm towel and covered his face, thinking in his heart that today's big flower and small flower were able to change their fate because they met themselves, what kind of sadness should it be if they didn't meet them, they always think about their own little life, is it really too selfish, since they have the ability, why can't they do more, maybe they can't change the overall situation, but it should be right to save a few more people like big flowers and small flowers, right?
After doing the morning exercise, he simply ate some porridge steamed buns, and then looked at the sun should be very early from the study time stipulated by Chongzhen, so Shen Xing found Liu Qingyuan and carefully taught him the two steel and cement method sheets a few times, and asked him to copy a copy to indicate the main place.
"Shao Dongjia, there are too many displaced people in the capital and not enough food, the small one ordered people to buy all the surrounding ones, but the careful calculation can only last for more than ten days, the land purchase is roughly concentrated after the government accounting, and the distance is relatively close, and there are about 20 million mu in several counties around Miyun, and the price has been calculated overnight by more than a dozen account rooms, as long as 100,000 taels of silver and 500,000 taels are considered to be the price of free gifts." Liu Qingyuan said with joy on his face, and Shen Xing also nodded.
"You go and write a letter to my dad again, let him buy more grain and cattle or something, anyway, the canal is also convenient, I don't know what else you need, you find more insiders to understand that everything you need to build a castle is prepared in advance, so many people must spend our money on food, clothing, housing and transportation before the spring sowing, but don't be stingy, especially the people below have to pay special attention to the management, don't make a civil unrest." Uncle Liu, you have to check it personally. ”
Liu Qingyuan nodded in agreement, and then looked up at Shen Da who seemed to be asking when our young owner understood so much, Shen Xing didn't care too much when he saw Liu Qingyuan and Shen Da squeezing his eyebrows, and all he was thinking about was how to reduce the open source and throttling of his old Shen family.
"Uncle Liu, the firing of steel and cement should be implemented first, mobilize those light and strong homeless people first, don't just eat and don't do it, especially people with craftsmanship, Jiangnan and the capital also recruit more craftsmen, the project is so big that there are not afraid of many people. Those children, women and children also let them do what they could, didn't the Shen family have a lot of clothing and shoe making workshops? It's all running, and we can't just spend money and not make money...... You discuss the rest with the other shopkeepers and my father. ”
Liu Qingyuan held the brush and wrote non-stop, his heart was even more happy, he was familiar with the scale of the Shen family's various industries before taking over the Jiangnan Restaurant, and there was a sudden feeling of enlightenment under Shen Xing's large framework, the Shen family itself was like a commercial giant ship, and it was only a shortage of fuel that sailed slowly and leisurely, but at this moment Shen Xing put all the coffins of his father, that is, the raw materials were supplied to the fullest, and the free labor of the hundreds of thousands of victims could not be tried.
Liu Qingyuan walked out of the Jiangnan restaurant and looked at the people coming and going on the street, he looked up at the clear sky and seemed to see the merchants in all corners of the Ming Dynasty about to boil, and he seemed to be more than ten years younger, full of energy.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Houjin army entered the fortress for the second time, Cao Wenzhao was transferred to Datong to resist Jin, and the besieged peasant army broke through from Wang Pu. In June of that year, Chen Qiyu, the new governor of the five provinces, led the army westward and appointed the four governors of Shaanxi, Yunyang, Huguang, and Henan to encircle and suppress the Hannan peasant army. Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng and other troops saw the Ming army gathering and strayed into the Chezhou Gorge (now Ankang City, Shaanxi Province) (now Laoxian Town, Pingli County, Shaanxi Province).
In the canyon is the ancient plank road, the mountains on all sides are steep, easy to enter and difficult to exit, the only exit is intercepted by the Ming army, the situation is critical, Li Zicheng used Gu Junen's strategy, bribed Chen Qiyu's left and right people, and deceived the officers and soldiers. Chen Qiyu released Li Zicheng and others, sent more than 50 pacification officers, sent the peasant army back to their hometowns, and as soon as they left the plank road, Li Zicheng immediately killed the pacification officers and rebelled.
In the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635), Hong Chengchou served as the governor of five provinces and encircled and suppressed the people's army, and the peasant army retreated to the area of Luoyang, Henan. Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui, Luo Rucai, Ge Liyan, Zuo Jin Wang, Reincarnated King, Shooting Collapse Heaven, Hengtian King, Mixed 100,000, Guotianxing, Nine Dragons, Shuntian King and other thirteen 72 battalions of rebels held the Xingyang Conference in Xingyang, Henan.
Li Zicheng put forward the strategy of "dividing troops into directions and attacking from four directions". After the meeting, Li Zicheng, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong led their troops to capture Fengyang, Nanzhili, excavated the ancestral tomb of the Ming royal family, burned down the "Huangjue Temple" where Zhu Yuanzhang once became a monk, killed more than 60 eunuchs, and beheaded Zhu Guoxiang, the general of the capital. Because of the competition for the capture of the little eunuch and the drum of musical instruments in the Fengyang Palace, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong had a grudge, and Li Zicheng went west to Gansu as an army.
In the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636), Gao Yingxiang was defeated by Lu Xiangsheng, the new governor of the five provinces, and surrounded in Yun [yú].
Yangshan District (belonging to Shiyan City, Hubei Province). Gao Yingxiang was defeated at Heishuiyu (present-day Heihekou, Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi Province) and was killed by Sun Chuanting, the new governor of Shaanxi. The remnants of Gao Yingxiang defected to Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng was promoted as the "king of Chuang" and continued to fight in Sichuan, Gansu, and Shaanxi.
I don't know if it's the influence of Shen Xing's little butterfly wings, Chongzhen got three hundred taels of silver, and immediately straightened his waist The encirclement and suppression that had to be postponed for a year in the original history was actually advanced, and the angry Shen Xing scolded at the dinner table, Lao Tzu gave you money to let you go to the old Wang Ba of Huang Taiji, and you are going to use a cannon to fight mosquitoes to the rhythm of death.
Chongzhen got the silver more than a month later, and then Yang Sichang raised 100,000 troops, increased his salary by 2.8 million, and proposed the strategy of "four positive and six corners, ten sides of the net" to limit the mobility of the peasant army, break through each one, and finally annihilate. The move has paid off. Zhang Xianzhong's army was defeated and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng was ambushed by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting in Weinan Tongguan Nanyuan and was defeated, and took Liu Zongmin and other remnants of 17 people to hide in Shangluo Mountain in southeast Shaanxi, which of course Shen Xing only learned about a few months later.
At this moment, he has just completed the learning task given by Chongzhen, and the weight loss plan has also achieved remarkable results under the inhumane supervision of the Red Lady and Lan'er, and he has lost more than 50 pounds, but his reputation as a fat man, a loser, has long been resounding in the Ming Dynasty, and of course there is also the title of the first good man of the Ming Dynasty and the protégé of the Son of Heaven.
