Chapter 720. at swords' points

In history, as a broken talent, he has such a deep influence, so much interference in the imperial court, and even the prototype of the early opposition party leader, Zhang Pu does not dare to say that he will be the last, but it is absolutely unprecedented.

This time, his terrifying influence is also undoubtedly revealed, first of all, Wenzhou City, a huge city, the group of merchants who had just lost their pants were able to pour the city for him, the chief official, and killed more than 20 Jinyi guards, forcing the eunuchs to hide in the palace and dare not come out.

However, this is just the beginning.

After all, the limitations are limited to the shackles of this era, even in later generations, more than 100,000 people can follow you to take the train to petition, and Muliuzhuang outside Wenzhou City, densely packed with Wenzhou citizens, is also here to wave goodbye to Zhang Pu.

"Mr. Renxue, take care of this trip!"

Following Zhang Pu's side, there were more than a dozen business travel shopkeepers with about dozens of people, and the scholars of the Restoration Society were clustered around Zhang Pu, and these people also followed and said goodbye.

"Rest assured, we will protect Mr. Renxue safe and sound! Everyone, please come back! ”

"Please!"

In the crisp autumn day, hundreds of horses raised their hooves, and in the eyes of 100,000 people, Zhang Pu raised his horsewhip and went all the way north.

…………

If in other dynasties, Zhang Pu will definitely be killed, because his influence is too strong, how popular he is, Wenzhou to Nanjing more than 800 kilometers, every county, there are a large number of citizens to pick up the wind and wash the dust, even not limited to Nanming, at the end of October when he arrived outside the West Lake in Hangzhou, on the shore of the West Lake, there were as many as 20 big businessmen here to set up a banquet to welcome Zhang Pu, nominally he went to Beijing to ask for guilt, but in fact it was completely a big show of muscles, Demonstrate to the powerful Donglin leader in Yingtianzhong.

His approach to Nanjing step by step did bring great political pressure to the members of the Donglin Party.

Nanjing Forbidden Palace, Wuying Palace, official office.

With a bang, the blue and white flowers of the imperial kiln that could sell hundreds of taels were thrown to the ground, and the old face of the King of the Ministry of Rites was distorted, and the wrinkles were like disgusting earthworms, and his voice was hoarse, and he roared angrily.

"It's a rebellion!! Zhang Pu's death is not a pity!"

Wang Zhixing's family, who lost the bottom of the red refining workshop, is his distant relative, and more importantly, the red refining workshop is the money bag of the entire Jiangzuo Wang family, don't look at this Donglin Kui is ashamed to mention the yellow and white things, really moved their money bags, and really played with you, Wang Qia handed over the money bag to Zhang Pu, and followed him to make a fortune, but he didn't want to be poked into a hole, and even the copper coins in the bag were leaked clean, Wang Qia's resentment towards Zhang Pu can be imagined, it is simply hateful.

After roaring and expressing his attitude, he vented his anger to Liu Zongzhou, who was in charge of the military department, with a gloomy face.

"Zhang Thief is so arrogant and domineering, is the military department just sitting and watching?"

Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, and Qian Qianyi also cast their eyes over, Zhang Pu, a rebellious junior, was simply slapping everyone in the face, and they were also angry.

However, in the Donglin Party, Liu Zongzhou, a relatively stable bachelor, was expressionless, took out a yellow leather fold from his sleeve and threw it on the table.

"See for yourself! The excerpt of the scholar of history!"

The first snatched Shi Kefa's fold in his hand, and hurriedly flipped through the two pages, and Wang Qia once threw it back, and scolded angrily in his mouth.

"Regardless of the big picture! Not a minister! Forget the eight-end stuff!"

followed by picking up the fold, and after two glances, Qian Qianyi's brows also picked up, but he shook his head in distress.

Zhang Pu's influence is not only today, but after the coup d'état in Donglin, he did not break out when the spoils were unevenly divided, but it was not for nothing that he fought against Donglin's predecessors with great fanfare in this truncated beard.

is like the famous words of Grandpa Mao in later generations: power comes out of the barrel of a gun!

How powerful was the Yangzhou Citizens' Movement during the Apocalypse? But in the end, as the leader, Zhou Shunchang, Yan Peiwei and other five people were still arrested by the eunuch party, and they were assassinated in the Jinyi Wei Prison, the six gentlemen of Donglin, Wei Dazhong, Zuo Guangdou, etc. are also iron-clad and resolute, but they still did not bring down the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, but they were victimized by him, if it were not for the death of the apocalypse, Emperor Chongzhen alienated Wei Zhongxian, and he was afraid that the Donglin Party would still take him as a big eunuch.

Why? No soldiers in hand!

Even if there are hundreds of thousands of supporters, they can't catch up with tens of thousands of mediocre soldiers, if at the time of the coup d'état in Donglin, he dared to grin like this, a rebel hat covered the past, as soon as the army arrived, he would be a game! At that time, the troublemaker was looking for death.

But now, the 70,000 army is controlled in the hands of Shi Kefa, the first auxiliary scholar who is inclined to the restoration society, Jiujiang Governor Shi Kefa, his position is still at the forefront of resisting Liu Zongmin's army, Zhang Pu has just had something to do, and Shi Kefa's 800 li expedited has been sent to Beijing, and the Jiujiang army is short of pay, and there are signs of instability!

said that it was a report on the military situation, but who is not a human spirit in Donglin, the real unstable air is Shi Kefa himself! He's here for Zhang Pu! If you dare to move, Lao Tzu will dare to be unstable!

Shi Kefa's threat, the Donglin bigwigs can't ignore it, because they really don't dare to gamble on Shi Kefa's overall situation with their own lives, as soon as they slaughter Zhang Pu, Shi Kefa really picks and puts hundreds of thousands of Dashun troops to cross Poyang Lake, and everyone is done together!

The excerpts were passed one by one, but the Wuying Hall became a dead silence, and for a long time, Wang Qia, who was still unwilling, asked gloomily.

"Just let this little beast swagger to Nanjing?"

"What if you don't let it go?"

Sighing heavily, Gao Hongtu's equally old face suddenly appeared a sinister and ruthless, and he shouted gloomily: "But this year, those cheap businessmen have suffered heavy losses, forcing more than a dozen families and hundreds of people to death, and this year's military salary and public silver have not been raised, what is the truth!" Since Zhang Pu dares to come, let's have a trial, and when the time comes, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials and scholars all over the world, the old man wants to see how clever he is and says that the black is white!"

"That's exactly how it should be! When the time comes, he will be punished by the guilt, and he will have no room to resist! It's just right to make a big fuss now, and when the time comes, let's see how the little beasts of the Restoration Society end!"

With the same haze on his face, Jiang Yueguang also nodded approvingly, but after a while, he worriedly fell on Qian Qianyi.

"But the lifeline is in the hands of Shi Wei, and it is really not a long-term solution, on the side of Jiangbei, you still need Qian Weng to contact more, **Aren't you keen on money? The kiln of Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln and the weaver of Jiangning Weaving can give it to him! Huguang can also be divided in half with the Northern Dynasty, as long as the Xuzhou Army is willing to take action, and join hands with our Dynasty to destroy the thieves, no matter how big the request, you can agree**. ”

"Even to the emperor as king, to the north of the vassal! Yes, too!"

"It's all about the big picture!"

Overall situation? I'm afraid it's the overall situation ruled by the leader of the Donglin Party himself! These words can be described as a traitor, and even Zhu Yousong, the emperor, was sold, but Jiang Yueguang's words caused the cabinet leaders who were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality to nod, and Qian Qianyi, the person concerned, nodded his head incessantly.

"The old man will focus on doing this, a few days ago, Beidi went to Gu everyone's place and walked around a lot! The old man will persuade everyone by taking care of everyone**!"

Listening to Qian Qianyi proudly showing off his liaison, the rest of the Donglin party leaders not only did not despise it, but showed a look of envy and jealousy, hesitated, and the king of the Ministry of Rites just added.

"Gu everyone is so for the country and the people, why not let Your Majesty give a memorial arch for chastity, so as to commend the merits of Gu everyone!"

Once again, Wang Qia's proposal was also unanimously approved by the Donglin cabinet.

There is a saying in later generations that when you become a bitch, you still want to build a memorial arch! Although Gu Hengbo's talent and insight are admirable, after all, she is from a family of prostitutes and is despised by orthodox scholars! But in order to please Mao Jue, a group of people around him, this group of people standing on the moral high ground even the chastity archway, which represents the highest spiritual reward of feudal etiquette, is willing to give Gu Hengbo a prostitute background, how shameless these benevolent and righteous morals are!

However, on the way to Nanjing aggressively by Zhang Pu, the princes of Donglin gradually completed the strategic deployment and waited for a battle!

This tense confrontation lasted until the end of November, and while everyone in the southern province was nervously watching, Zhang Pu and his disciples finally arrived in Nanjing.

It is really a typical characteristics of the great Ming scholars, scholars brawl up and even the generals are ashamed of themselves, both sides have exerted their influence to the extreme, the streets of Nanjing, the scholars who plough and read the heirlooms and the scholars from the business family are burning all over the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, in the tavern, in the painting boat, you can often see the scholars who used to hook their shoulders and come to buy wine and have fun, pointing to each other's noses and scolding the rebellious thieves, followed by a burst of fists and feet, the two sides of the Qinhuai River that rose again resumed depression, and the merchants gathered at the north gate of Nanjing, Confronted the Jinyi Guard.

When he arrived at the gate of Beijing, after all, he wanted to give the emperor some face, and he was also afraid that the Donglin Party would blacken himself, so Zhang Pu, who was dashing, finally lowered his profile, found a pair of shackles to put on himself, and took the initiative to pick off the official uniform and change into a prison uniform.

However, this did not delay his popularity, watching Zhang Pu staggering to appear at the north gate of Nanjing, the merchants and gentlemen who came to greet the leader of the Restoration Society were simply boiling, and they shouted loudly Mr. Renxue!

It's like facing a great enemy, the Nanjing Forbidden Army on the periphery is holding a gun, desperately trying to resist the outside, stopping the people from squeezing inside, the governor of the Left Army of New Taipei Prefecture, Wu Yinghou Zhang Quanzhong's face is also full of sorrow and helplessness, and he didn't dare to take it directly like the prisoner, but accompanied by a smiling face, led the horse to Zhang Pu and bowed heavily.

"Lord Zhang, Your Majesty ordered your ministers to welcome your lord into the palace!"

Just like the battle base in the attack base, looking at the city of Nanjing looming in the fog from a distance, shaking heavy handcuffs, Zhang Pu is also full of fighting spirit.

"I'm tired of all the governors!"

On the other side, on the Qinzheng Palace, Zhu Yousong still did not break through the shackles of the Ming Emperor, others knew, the emperor still didn't know, yawning, he was sitting listlessly on the dragon chair, and still reminisced about the graceful body of the palace person last night.

Below, the leaders of Donglin wearing purple cannons also broke their bones tightly, and a murderous aura jumped out of this group of old bones.

The civil and military officials were even divided into two factions, and they were almost hostile to each other.

In this thick smell of gunpowder, the eunuch's sudden sharp voice sounded, which completely sounded the battle horn of this highest-level party struggle in the southern country.

"On the emperor's order, the Governor of Wenzhou, Lord Zhang Pu of the Ministry of Commerce and Commerce has arrived!"
