Chapter 300: Anti-Yang Alliance
"Two, how does it feel to raise a tiger?"
Ding Kuichu said with a smile.
At this time, he could indeed face Zhang Guowei and the two smirked, Zuo Liangyu's Qingjun side was actually secretly angry with Donglin Qunxian.
Who is Hou Sui?
It was listed in the Donglin Point General Record.
If you want to say that you are a star in a dignified way, before doing something big, you have a few Tianqiao stars and earth yin stars, and there is no secret hookup, then it is pure nonsense. It's just that Zhang Guowei and other Donglin Party members in the DPRK did not support this kind of open rebellion, and the water in the field was too cold to really do anything. In addition, Zuo Liangyu himself was not brave enough, he didn't dare to go east, and only thought about separating one side by himself, and finally under the inaction of Donglin Qunxian, Yang Qing's army marched westward and conquered Wuchang and took Zuo Liangyu in one fell swoop.
All that's left is the escape of these lost dogs.
If Chongzhen hadn't died suddenly, they would have been wiped out by Yang Qing a long time ago.
Fortunately, Chongzhen died in time.
Then the Nanjing infighting, and even evolved into a bloody imperial city, Yang Qing attacked the clan, forcing King Gui and King Jingjiang to join the rebellion, plus Li Zicheng went south, Yang Qing had to withdraw the elite to Nanjing to face the battle, followed by the Qing army to the south, and the Yellow River War established the northern confrontation. This series of wars dragged Yang Qing and gave them a chance to breathe, and in the end, the current Liangguang became a typical example of the Lord Sage and the Sage.
They can laugh at the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
After all, their current state there is actually what the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang really desire, and even a consultative bureau similar to the Four People's Congress has been opened.
Absolutely all gentry.
If you don't have 500 acres of land, you are not qualified to enter the Advisory Council at all, and after entering the Advisory Council, except for some major crimes, even if you commit some minor crimes, you don't need to go to prison at all. The magistrate also has no right to arrest it, and it has to be discussed after the advisory bureau has a meeting, but if the magistrate is dissatisfied with the advisory bureau, then the advisory bureau has the right to call the magistrate over for questioning.
It's just perfect!
The gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang can be said to be envious to death.
"What does Hikari Sangong want to say?"
Zhang Guowei said.
He was one term later than Ding Kuichu, but Qu Shiyun and Ding Kuichu were in the same department, and they produced a lot of celebrities in this department, including Hong Chengchou, Ruan Dacheng, Huang Zongxi's father, and the champion Qian Shisheng was a friend of Gao Panlong Gu Xiancheng. But Qu Shiyun is not as good as Ding Kuichu as an official, the latter is famous for knowing how to drill camps, and when Qu Shiyun was still floating and sinking in the seven-rank official, he was already a household servant.
"It's nothing, I just want to discuss the general trend of the world with the two of you, I can make it clear that I came here this time to take the risk of watching this Four People's Conference, but I didn't expect to watch one more good show.
I have to say that this Yang Qing is also a talent!
He alone pressed the sages of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to death, seeing that he was unscrupulous and uncontrollable, he let him tighten a little bit in the net, just like a fish swimming in the net, watching that there were fewer and fewer places to swim but helpless. When you promised him to change the guard to the imperial village, did you ever think that one day these imperial villages would be like knives on the heads of the gentry in Jiangnan? This is just the beginning, there will be more Huangzhuang in the future, as far as I know, there are already people with land and property to donate Huangzhuang, within ten years Jiangnan is full of Huangzhuang, the gentry's neck is strangled to death.
This layout is really ruthless!
And when you promised him to hold the Four People's Congress, did you ever think that one day this Four People's Congress would become a sharp weapon for him to manipulate public opinion?
Aren't you talking about public opinion?
He will tell you the will of the people, the absolute will of the people!
Do you dare to say that the Four People's Congress does not represent the real will of the people? All the counties of the entire Ming Dynasty, all the representatives of the Wei Shi farmers and industry and commerce are here, do you dare to say that this is not the real public opinion?
Admit it!
Ladies and gentlemen!
You just can't play him! ”
Ding Kuichu said with a teacup.
Zhang Guowei and Qu Shiyun looked at him indifferently.
Anyway, everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, what are you doing with so much nonsense? Anything is said quickly, to be straightforward.
"So we have to work together!"
Ding Kuichu said.
"Katsura is still rebellious, right?"
Zhang Guowei sneered.
"What if the Katsura Domain is gone?"
Ding Kuichu said: "You know very well, whether it is King Gui or King Jingjiang, his sincerity is not fighting for the world, he is just trying to protect himself, the succession of the Ming Dynasty is orderly, and it is not the turn of others after the first emperor." But Yang Qing wants to cut off the clan, then they can't sit still, if the Son of Heaven Longxing can still be the master of the clan, with Guangxi as the king of Jingjiang and Guangdong as the king of Gui, then King Gui is willing to go to the emperor to re-claim the title of the son of Longxing Tianzi. ”
Zhang Guowei and the two exchanged glances.
This result was indeed surprising.
They didn't expect King Gui's side to be so easily obedient.
"Two, it's the best of both worlds!"
Ding Kuichu said.
In fact, they are still for self-preservation, no matter how the two Guang develop, after all, their strength is limited, and now Yang Qing can't take care of it, as long as he has his hands free, the two Guang can't fight against it no matter what.
Besides, it costs money to fight a war.
At this time, the gentry of Liangguang, who were both playing capitalism, were very clear in terms of interests, and they had already armed 50,000 new troops in order to resist Yang Qing, and these 50,000 new troops had already made the gentry of Liangguang and Guangxi very painful. According to calculations, to protect themselves, at least more than 100,000 new troops, in addition, you have to form a navy to defend Yang Qing from breaking the tiger gate, you have to build a fort, you have to build a fort, they have already built one in Shaoguan and Yanguan, all of which were designed by the Portuguese, this thing is really good, but the investment is also very high!
In short, the cost of resistance is high.
At least the gentry of Liangguang felt that it was better to let King Gui bend his knees to his nephew.
At this time, King Gui was already eternal.
His brother was the son of Hongguang for less than half a year, and then he also died of illness, and then Yongli succeeded to the throne, and the year name was Yongli, and he himself had no opinion on surrendering to his nephew. It is very strange that Nanming died two emperors in one year, and there are already rumors among the people that it was because his father and his brother were called emperors, so they suffered the curse of heaven and only died every half a year.
He was also a little scared.
Their plan is actually quite simple.
It was Longxing that the Son of Heaven returned to the capital, and then Yongli sent someone to recognize him as the emperor in exchange, and Zhu Cihong gave Guangdong and Guangxi to Yongli and Jingjiang kings respectively.
This is sealed.
The two provinces are their fiefdoms.
There is all the power in the feudal country, which is similar to a vassal king like Joseon, but the number of troops can be discussed, such as how many guards King Gui has, how many guards King Jingjiang has, etc., this is easy to say. Originally, in the past, both of them had their own guards, and King Jingjiang had always been a private army of 5,000 guards, but in the future, it was just clarified that it was only a number that could protect itself and not threaten the emperor.
As long as Zhu Cihong agrees, then Yongli will go to the emperor and reclaim the title of King Gui.
and as Zhu Cihong's foreign aid.
This is the most important point, the current 50,000 new troops in Liangguang are real new troops, all of them are Morris phalanxes, and even have begun to equip musketeers with bayonets, all of them are trained by the Portuguese and Dutch, and there are even Japanese mercenaries. This is quite normal, in fact, the Portuguese used a lot of Japanese mercenaries, and when the Dutch attacked Malacca, there were more Japanese mercenaries guarding the city of Malacca than the Portuguese. If you don't count the gap in the soldiers' will to fight, these 50,000 new troops can be worth the two mountain armies of the Ming army, this strength is indeed not enough to deal with Yang Qing, but if it is in the case of the gentry in Jiangnan and the defection of the generals within the Ming army, it can be said that it is a strange army to deal with Yang Qing.
For Zhu Cihong, this is undoubtedly a dream.
He will definitely not be able to come back as a bare-bones emperor.
But the problem is that the army of the Ming Dynasty has been controlled by Yang Qing, even if he wants to, it will be difficult for him to start, an emperor has no army to play fart, unless Zhu Cihong really comes back as a puppet. But a young man in his early twenties, no matter how honest he is, he can't be honest to this point, Donglin Qunxian can't get another arm for him, and there is no further result from contacting Zhang Xianzhong before, this traitor is obviously not so courageous. And Yongli's 50,000 new troops, even if they are Zhu Cihong's foreign aid, help him realize his intentions when needed.
All Zhu Cihong needed to do was seal off the two provinces.
But these two provinces were originally under the control of Yongli and King Jingjiang, and even Yang Qing did not take them back, so it was at most a favor, and as soon as Zhu Cihong came back, King Gui was obedient, which obviously contributed to the emperor's prestige.
"You're taking advantage of people's danger!"
Zhang Guowei said.
"Brother Yudi, you really can't deal with Yang Qing, it's not that I underestimate you, your methods are outdated, and people are better than you in everything. The army, the economy, the people's will, and even the system, which of you do you say can do better than Yang Qing? Even the newspapers you run can't play with others.
He's very capable.
The rare genius of the Ming Dynasty in the past three hundred years, Zhang Juzheng cannot be compared.
But it's a pity that he doesn't go the right way!
The Four People's Congress is a good thing, and the Taixi countries such as the Netherlands, England, etc., have similar ones, but the people are elected representatives, and the qualifications are determined by the land, and those who do not have land have no right to vote.
Yang Qing grabbed lots.
As a result, peddlers and pawns filled the temple.
The new cabinet system is also excellent, the holy lord hangs down from above, and the virtuous ministers govern from below, but he does not stuff the cabinet into half of the martial arts.
He was equally good at overseas trade.
However, it allowed the North and South Two Oceans Company to monopolize overseas trade.
It can be said that almost everything he has done is good, but he has to take it to an evil path again, and he himself has drawn the right path and the Yangguan Avenue. However, after stepping on it, he was like a ghost, and then he fell crooked into the evil path, and not only did he fall crooked to the evil path, but he also stood on the evil path and turned his head back to laugh at those who wanted to take the right path, and he did not let others go on the right path. If he hadn't taken the evil path, I would have felt that having him was really a blessing for the Ming Society, and this person was really like an evil spirit, completely unreasonable.
But it is precisely because of this that we must work together to remove this scourge for the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world. ”
Ding Kuichu said with a holy face.
