Chapter 705. Nanming fell, and Mao Jue was full
Literati! At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was nothing more shameless than these literati! completely lost the courage of their ancestors in the Han and Tang dynasties, and secretly engaged in mutiny to seize power, but when the country was in danger, they were the first to hide.
Even if he agreed with Shi Kefa's plan, no one had the courage to take on the role of this supervisor to take command of the expedition, Gao Hongtu claimed to have a foot disease, Qian Qianyi relapsed into a cold, Jiang Yueguang had pneumonia again, and finally the responsibility of the supervisor fell back to Shi Kefa, who was "sick" and had not been in court for three years.
At first, he was reluctant to serve as this supervisor, not because Shi Kefa was afraid of death and was afraid of responsibility, you must know that this New Taipei Mansion was taken back from the hands of Ma Shiying Ruan Dacheng, and it was completely purged by the Donglin Party from top to bottom, and the officers of the legion were either the protégés of the Donglin bigwigs, or the slaves under the command of their families, Shi Kefa had no basis at all, and the generals couldn't be single-minded, how could they fight?
It's okay, what master, what apprentice, what master, what slave, I heard that I was going to go on an expedition, and I competed with the fierce 500,000 invasion army, and the order was issued in the past few days, the 180,000 Beifu army, except for the more than 50,000 people who had eaten empty salaries on paper, completely disappeared, and more than 60,000 people escaped. In the end, it fell into the hands of Shi Kefa, and there were only more than 20,000 troops left that could be mobilized.
Fortunately, Shi Kefa is not a complete loner, he has regained his rights, so that some people see the hope of recovery, so the resumption of the society leaned over.
The Restoration Society is known as the Little Donglin, and the political purpose is also highly consistent with the Donglin, all of which are to eliminate the accumulated evils, oppose the eunuchs interfering in politics, and oppose the indiscriminate collection of commercial taxes and mining taxes like the Wanli Emperor, but a Donglin and a Restoration Society, after all, are two political groups! Donglin Party doctors were born, such as Qian Qianyi and Gong Dingyu, all of whom were big landowners in the south of the Yangtze River, and they had been mixed for more than ten years, and the end of the Donglin Party was mixed with an industry, and they were regarded as vested interests of the ruling class.
But most of the people from the Fusha Society are young scholars, what are the characteristics of young people? Unfortunately, it is poor! Except for some of the second-generation rich second-generation Donglin officials, such as Zuo Guodi, the son of Zuo Guangdou, Wei Xuelian, the son of Wei Dazhong, Gu Yushu, the son of Gu Dazhang, and Huang Zongxi, the son of Huang Zunsu, etc., the rest of Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai, the leader of the Restoration Society, Lou Dongerzhang, are all from ordinary families, and Zhang Pu even had the experience of chapped hands and feet because of carbonless heating and reading in winter.
And the Restoration Society itself has two meanings, one is to revive the retro culture, and the second is to fail the examination for a long time, and need to retake the imperial examination again.
But now, the saints who surrounded the former alliance leaders have completely ascended to a dominant position, have the interests of the Restoration Society been achieved?
It can't be said that there is no at all, for example, Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai have been mixed up in the matter, Chen Zilong, Fang Yizhi, Huang Zongxi, etc. are also mixed up in Kedao, but in addition to these leaders, there are few who are in the early thousands of scholars of the Restoration Society.
Moreover, the political demands have not been reached, the political status and economic interests of the members of the Restoration Society are still getting worse and worse, and the so-called reform of the Donglin Party, persuading farmers and businessmen, and closing the end of the industry, is not only a kind of social regression, but also a kind of whale swallowing by large landlords like Qian Qianyi in the south of the Yangtze River to small and medium-sized landlords and homesteaders, and the entire social structure has been completely incorporated into the large feudal manors that cross prefectures and counties, and the owners of the manors are equivalent to the kings. was ruthlessly imprisoned on the land, and even some of the former scholars with decent identities and members of the Fushe were beaten into serfs, and the series of political reforms of the Donglin Party were completely disappointed for the Fushe.
Either perish in silence or explode in despair, the Restoration Society has been fighting for so long, how can it be willing to be perished by fish and flesh like this?
Stone Town Barracks, at this end, groups of groups of Donglin old packs and escapes from the barracks, on the other end, the children of the Fushe who are dragging their luggage immediately come to report energetically, regardless of the civilian and military attachés, now it is better to be an official, and Shi Kefa issued official seals at this time, and Donglin, who is in power, can't say anything, after all, Shi Kefa is about to go on the expedition now, you can't let these official positions be empty, right?
To tell the truth, looking at the troops under his command, Shi Kefa frowned, Mao Jue in the three towns of the old Jiangbei almost ate everything, five or six hundred thousand people, and only Liu Liangzuo fled back to Jiangnan 50,000 or 60,000 people, or the weak brigade of the weak brigade, Liu Liangzuo died of illness, and the hearts of these people also collapsed.
In the old department of Governor Ma Shiying Fengyang, the political leader was killed, and Fengyang is now occupied by the Northern Ming, which is even more demoralized.
These are still stronger, with a little military experience, but if you can gather those market disciples, they are complete scoundrels, even if they put on armor, they don't look like a soldier, and on the stage, Shi Kefa ordered the drumming, and the new Fushe scholars or the Jianghu friends and officers of the scholars are shouting and gathering with all their might, but it has been ten minutes, and the 20,000 people have not even put out a phalanx until now, and Shi Kefa is really frowning.
Fortunately, at this time, the second benefit brought by the resumption of the society was revealed, although Zhang Pu is a political opportunist, he has a bit of a timely rain Song Jiang's side, that is, righteousness! Everyone in the rivers and lakes knew some of them, and at the gate of the barracks, a thunderous roar suddenly suppressed the chaos in the barracks.
"Yan Yingyuan, a native of Jiangyin, was ordered by the leader of the alliance to bring the township party to join the army, and he also hoped that the university scholars would take him in!"
Listening to this roar, Shi Kefa's black face was red, and he left the troops excitedly and walked out quickly, at the gate, a man wearing a purple head, wearing an official soap uniform, his face was slightly open, and the tall black man who didn't want to be a southerner in this era carried a big knife on his back, standing majestically in the front, followed behind, although thousands of young strong men were wearing homespun clothes, and even many were barefoot, and they were still carrying hoes and sticks in their hands, but these people looked at it vigorously, It's many times stronger than the real military masters in the barracks.
"Meet the Scholars!"
With a bang, with the township party under his command, Yan Yingyuan pushed Jinshan to fall to his knees like a jade pillar, and the startled Shi Kefa also hurriedly took two steps, pulled him up suddenly, and said uncontrollably: "No need to be polite!" No need to be polite!"
After the etiquette was finished, looking up at these Jiangyin children, Shi Kefa finally brushed his beard with the boss again, and finally showed a smiling face
"With the help of a strong man! I'm done!"
With Yan Yingyuan's Jiangyin soldiers joining, Shi Kefa's westward expedition team was finally formed, on August 19, in the city gate Qian Qianyi, Gao Hongtu and a series of Donglin bigwigs with gloomy faces, this army left the Beijing Division, against the Yangtze River, and went straight to Jiujiang, where Liu Zongmin's 500,000 army was waiting for him!
…………
But no matter what the outcome of this battle is, the impact of the Eastern Crusade has spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River, and the Donglin Party has been reformed and divided into feudal estates like beehives, and the evil consequences have also been revealed.
Not all masters of the family are not afraid of death! As soon as the news of the annihilation of Zuo Liangyu's entire army spread, the whole Jiangnan caused a great panic, and these big manor owners in the countryside immediately took their relatives and relatives to carry their family wealth and smeared oil on the soles of their feet, and the larger ones went straight to Nanjing, and the smaller ones went straight to Nanjing, and the smaller ones hid in the nearby county seat, so that there was a city wall to protect them from the coming war.
But it's good that they are gone, which family does not have tens of thousands of peasant serfs on the land, the old men are afraid of death, and the small people below are not afraid? In addition, he has long been dissatisfied with the exploitation of this feudal manor, and as soon as the old men on the front foot fled, the entire village on the back foot, and the people of the entire town also fled, forming a wave of terrifying refugees who destroyed the world during the Chongzhen period.
At this time, the entire Southern Ming Dynasty was already panicked, and the gloomy chief military magistrate had no strength and no heart to care about these displaced people.
However, it is different from the Chongzhen period, the displaced people in the north have nowhere to go, nowhere to eat, they can only go where to grab it, these displaced people in the south of the Yangtze River are different, they can go to the "big city" to work!
As the autumn harvest approached, the quiet West Lake was once again lively, just like the large-scale recruitment fairs in later generations, the largest East India Company, and the various small shops and workshops that had sprung up below were all pulling up banners on the lakeside, shouting desperately.
"Bao Bao! Five insurances and one housing fund! And two days off!"
"Double pay on holidays, wages are paid monthly, and there will be no arrears!"
"It's hired! It's hiring! ”
This turmoil was originally directed by Mao Jue, in Hangzhou, Ningbo, Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other big cities, the East India Company and the emerging bourgeois owners naturally had already prepared, grain, clothes, or something I don't know how much, this one, one by one Jiangnan refugees fled to these coastal ports with anxiety, and the other end was directly stupidly signed a contract and pulled down the cans, wearing new clothes issued after taking a bath, and was directly pushed onto the southbound sailboat.
Now Southeast Asia is a cornucopia, the huge Luzon, the newly recovered Taiwan, the huge Borneo, the warm and fertile land is picked up for nothing, and there are all kinds of precious spice veins, as long as someone develops, the silver is just like rain to the brain, can recruit a person to get a little more income, just like picking up money! Under the trend of interests, the "black-hearted" boss and the owner of the manor are also doing their best to export the population overseas, and the galleons full of migrant workers going to sea are sailing towards the southeast heavily.
On the other side of the sea, he stayed on the edge of the port every day, watching the boats of Ming people pouring in, and his city quickly became rich, and Huang Degong's old face couldn't help but bloom with joy.
