Chapter 622: So It Is

Wu Sangui put down the binoculars and was depressed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After all, he is a character who is keen on fame and fortune, and he is bent on making meritorious deeds in order to go further. However, Henan's erosive status quo has no chance to make meritorious contributions to him at all. The thieves who attack hundreds of thousands of people are looking for death, and they are waiting for death to sit back and watch the thieves attack the city.

The Henan thieves are so rampant that there is no one to grow crops anymore. Even if the weather is good this year, there will still be no harvest next year. The people who are lucky enough to survive this year will still be thieves in the coming year.

Wu Sangui said: "Doesn't Sun Du know the situation at the front? ”

Wang Pu smiled and said, "As smart as Sun Chuanting, how can you not know what is in it?" ”

"It's just that Sun Du is also helpless, if the 100,000 official army is defeated by the thieves, the situation will be even more irreparable. What can Sun Du do? ”

"At this time, we can only hope that the 100,000 new army of the Son of Heaven will go south and bombard the thieves with firearms and cannons, or there may be a chance of victory." After a pause, Wang Pu said: "It's just that the original intention of the Son of Heaven to train the new army was to deter the Duke of Jinguo, and this new army is easily unwilling to use it. The bleak situation in Henan still has to be maintained by the efforts of our ordinary border troops. ”

Wu Sangui sighed helplessly when he heard Wang Pu's words.

Wang Pu looked at Wu Sangui and said with a smile: "Uncle Chang doesn't seem to be able to see such a bleakness, he won't go to Tianjin to join the Duke of Jin Guo like Zu Dashou, right?" ”

Wu Sangui said: "Shao Bao laughed. ”

It's not that Wu Sangui didn't have the idea of defecting to Li Zhi, it's just that when Li Zhi led the army to ask for his life in the suburbs of Beijing, Wu Sangui disagreed with Li Zhi several times, and his attitude of supporting Li Zhi was not resolute. Obviously, Li Zhi was also a little dissatisfied with Wu Sangui at that time. Therefore, Zu Dashou was able to defect to Li Zhi, but Wu Sangui couldn't.

Wu Sangui looked at the army of thieves gathered under Kaifeng City like dark clouds, and sighed again.

Qian Qianyi sat in the hall of the Qianyun Building, looking at the departing wave of guests, with a somewhat complacent look.

Seeing that the guests had left, Liu Ru walked down from upstairs, and asked Qian Qianyi curiously, "Why have so many guests come here these days?" ”

Qian Qianyi turned his head to look at Liu Rus, even more ambitious. Liu Ru was twenty-six years old at this time, which was the most moving time for women. Qian Qianyi looked at the swaying posture of her when she walked, and felt more and more that she had not lived in vain in this life. I am sixty-two years old, and I can still marry such a beautiful woman, what more can I ask for?

He was cut down and returned to his hometown, but he still occupied more than 100,000 acres of fertile land, and married Liu Ru, a famous woman in the south of the Yangtze River, as a concubine.

Qian Qianyi is a Donglin boss and the leader of Jiangnan scholars. When she married a famous prostitute, Liu Ru was a concubine, which shocked the entire Jiangnan Shilin. Everyone regarded Qian Qianyi as a model for Shilin, but they didn't expect him to marry a prostitute when he was so old.

But after a while, everyone accepted it. After all, who hasn't been in Shilin these days? It's not a big deal to marry a prostitute when you're old. Qian Qianyi still has the prestige to call on Jiangnan Shilin.

In the past few days, Qian Qianyi's family has been full of guests.

Most of the people who came to find Qian Qianyi were celebrities from the provinces south of the Yangtze River. And these people don't come one by one, they all come in batches.

These people came to Qian Qianyi for a common reason, and that was to fight against Li Zhi.

Li Zhi killed Zhou Yanru, Zheng Sanjun and Liu Zongzhou, shocking the entire world. And Li Zhi's success in Junping Tianfu in Shandong this time touched the fundamental interests of the gentry in the world.

Li Zhi's rise so fast and so unstoppable made the gentry of the world feel afraid. Li Zhi's original title was the Duke of Jinguo, and his official title was the Admiral of Tianjin, but he was able to extend his hand to Shandong, and finally forced the Son of Heaven to recognize his occupation of the whole province of Shandong. So in the coming days, why won't he extend his tentacles to Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Huguang and even the entire Jiangnan?

Li Zhi's policy is terrible.

The end of the Ming Dynasty is an end of the world, and in this last days, what is most lacking is fairness and justice, and what is not lacking is bullying the weak. Although there are some landlords who make a fortune by relying on diligence and thrift to keep their families and manage their homes in fine management, they are in the minority, and these landlords do not have a high social status, and their status is almost no different from that of yeoman farmers. Those who show up to become local leaders in society are all gentry. These gentry were exempt from tax by virtue of their fame and status, and made their fortunes by stealing the land of small people.

Li Zhi's policy of equalizing the fields was to take the lives of these gentry.

To understand the lethality of Jun Ping Tian Fu to these official gentry, it is only necessary to explain one point: even the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which slaughtered the Han people all the way in history, and the three massacres of Jiading in Yangzhou on the 10th day without leaving a head, did not have Jun Ping Tian Fu after entering the customs. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Han gentry still did not accept the land endowment.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty, who killed tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, did not dare to rashly level Tian Fu. It can be seen how much policy resistance there is to Junhira Tianfu.

And Li Zhi only occupied two places, so he directly started a war against the gentry of the world.

Li Zhi's policy of equalizing the land and giving it to the court cooperated with the court, and directly ruled that the gentry landlords who accepted the surrender lost the lawsuit, and punished the land donated by the small people to the gentry as public land, almost taking away all the property of some gentry. Li Zhi's Junping Tianfu in Shandong directly turned many gentry and landlords into poor people who did not have enough to eat.

After all, the gentry are a large family parasitic on the peasants, and if they cut off their source of nutrition at once, they will of course go bankrupt.

Li Zhi's policy can be said to be the nightmare of the Ming gentry.

And according to Li Zhi's momentum in recent years, it is obvious that it will not be long before his policy will spread to other provinces.

The most anxious are the gentry of Nanzhili. Nanzhili borders Shandong, and is far from the capital, which is likely to be Li Zhi's next target. The scholars of Nanzhili subconsciously visited and tried to unite to find a way to counter Li Zhi. And as the celebrities of Nanzhili talked about Li Zhi's threat to the gentry, other Jiangnan provinces were also affected.

The celebrities and gentlemen in Jiangnan formed a wave of public opinion for a while, and they were all pondering how to resist Li Zhi's expansion and protect the interests of the gentry.

There is no one in this world who can stop Li Zhi through power or authority. Now, even the Son of Heaven has to discuss everything with Li Zhi. Li Zhi wanted to kill Shoufu, and the Son of Heaven immediately used the knife.

Li Zhi is a naked and violent leader, relying on tens of thousands of tigers to go on a rampage. The gentry in Jiangnan saw it in their eyes and understood that they could only rely on the army to stop Li Zhi now.

It is necessary to find a reliable army to confront Li Zhi and defend the poetry, books, and music of Jiangnan.

This matter needs a famous person to take the lead, and the scholars in Jiangnan tested each other for a while, and gradually found Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party.

Qian Qianyi's originally somewhat deserted front court was suddenly noisy again.

Qian Qianyi touched Liu Ruye's face and said with a smile: "Do you know if so?" Although Lao Suo is not above the court, in this way, the Jiangnan gentry will all gather around Lao Suo, led by Lao Suo! ”
