Chapter 337: An Evil Demon Is Unleashed

"Everyone, Da Ming has reached the most dangerous moment!"

Mao Qiling said solemnly.

A group of people with lofty ideals from the Datong Society nodded solemnly.

They were indeed frightened by Yang Qing.

No matter what their position is, what role they have played in history, we must admit that these people are all the real elites of the Ming Dynasty in this era. Almost any of them have left their names in history, and all of them can be crowned with the title of Great Confucian or even Master by future generations.

Their discipline can be flouted.

But their minds must be admitted.

They could see almost immediately how terrible Yang Qing's game in Guangxi was, and it could even be described as terrifying, and they really had to admit that they still underestimated Yang Qing. It is said that the cunning of this traitor is completely beyond imagination, and the crooked and evil methods are one after another, and each one is more ruthless and frightening than the other. Huangzhuang has already made the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang anxious, and now the land reform in Guangxi has simply suffocated them, and they feel the desperate suffocation as if they were pressed into the water by Yang Qing.

This is a real beast of the flood.

"A demon has been released!"

Wantai sighed.

His fame is not great, but his son is the one who can be called a shame in historiography, Zhang Xianzhong's massacre of 600 million people in Sichuan, the actual fabricator of the Ming history.

"We can't wait any longer, this traitor is trying out in Guangxi, and he lacks people to do this, this kind of perverse act, even if he dares to give an order, the local officials will not be in the same league with him.

Even the Northern Party is the same.

No matter Song Quan, Gao Hongtu, Lu Zhenfei or even Song Yingxing, they won't do it.

They still have this bottom line!

Therefore, Yang Qing couldn't do it if he wanted to, so he had to bypass these people and implement this kind of tyranny under the guise of Yubian in a place like Nanning, which could not only deter King Jingjiang, but also strengthen the deterrence of Vietnam, and at the same time cultivate enough henchmen for him. After these people complete the land reform in Nanning and Lianzhou, they will definitely continue to expand to the whole of Guangxi, even if they don't want to go, those bao people will pull them to go. When they finish Guangxi and the number of rebels will be enough, then it will be time for Yang Qing to tear off his disguise and show his true face to attack Jiangnan.

At that time, the local officials who had passed the new imperial examination and listened to him should have been flooded everywhere.

There are these magistrates.

There is the force of those militia Huangzhuang.

With these land reform teams trained through Guangxi's land reform, as well as those bao people all over the country to echo, imagine who else in the entire Jiangnan can fight against him? ”

Jiang Xizhe, who is also a member of the Shaozhuang faction of the Datong Society, said with Mao Qiling.

"We can't wait any longer!"

Huang Zongxi said.

"Erbin, you immediately go back to your hometown to find your teacher, explain the benefits and disadvantages to your teacher, and the teacher will come forward to persuade the gentry from all over the country, at this time, don't be stingy with the silver, you can earn it again if the silver is gone, if you really want Yang Qing to succeed, there is nothing. Although with the addition of King Gui and these people, Yang Qing's treasury bonds can basically be sold, but Zhang Xianzhong and King Jingjiang have not yet decided, and even if they are decided, they don't know when they will really be sold, we can't afford to wait, and even if we can wait, there will be other expenses. Next, Nanzhi and Zhejiang will have to buy at least two million more to welcome the holy car back by the end of the year, and we can still afford two million. ”

He said to Jiang Xizhe.

The latter nodded, this is indeed the time not to spare the silver, Yang Qing has made it clear that he has already begun to lay out the roots of the gentry, it is too unwise to care about the silver at this time.

Two million only!

The gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang also took it up.

Ningbo Customs has more than this amount of silver flowing into it in a year.

"Dake, Zhuang Sheng, the two of you immediately set off to Chang'an to explain to Shunshui and Mu Zhaigong what Yang Qing did, the conditions we mentioned before do not need to be agreed to by His Majesty, he can agree as much as he can, but the parliament and the system of land election must be agreed."

Huang Zongxi said to Mao Qiling.

The latter and Lu Liuliang also nodded.

Among them, they are the youngest, and Lu Liuliang is only in his early twenties, so they can only go to Chang'an for such a drudgery.

"Da Jing goes to Guangzhou."

Huang Zongxi said to Cai Zhongguang.

"You look for King Gui and explain the benefits to him, we can tolerate the separation of the two Guangzhou, but Yang Qing will do something to them sooner or later, their good life will not last long, at this time we should join forces, King Gui will send a brigade elite, we will be responsible for paying the military salary, and then send it to Li Zicheng as His Majesty's personal guard. We can't raise soldiers, but how many soldiers Your Majesty raises is not something that Yang Qing can manage, and His Majesty can't stop him Yang Qing from taking a guard south, in the final analysis, as long as Your Majesty has soldiers in his hands, everything else will be easy to do. ”

He continued.

"But King Gui's soldiers can't beat Yang Qing!"

Cai Zhongguang said.

Indeed, this is a frustrating question.

King Gui's army has not fought against Yang Qing's army, and it can be seen in the first battle of Xin'an that there is still a big gap between the combat effectiveness of the Gui army and the Ming army.

"The Marines can fight because of the new self-generated firearms they use, Yang Qing called it a flintlock pistol, and such a gun can also be made by King Gui, but the production is small and the price is extremely high, and King Gui cannot use it to equip his own soldiers in large quantities. Yang Qingneng is because he has a new steelmaking method that can make high-quality springs, and King Gui is a little worse in steelmaking, and their spring manufacturing is more time-consuming and laborious, but this is only a matter of silver. What's more, some of the high-end tools and machine parts sold by Yang Qing are also made of this kind of high-quality steel, let's buy these and send them to King Gui, who is responsible for making guns, and in the end it is nothing more than a higher cost, as long as it is a matter of money, it is easy to say. ”

Zhang Luxiang said.

"But King Gui's soldiers don't dare to be loyal, then Yang Qing is very good at demagoguery, even Xia Cungu can be bewitched by him."

Lu Liuliang said.

This question silenced everyone.

Indeed, they are much worse than Yang Qing in terms of winning people's hearts, Xia Wanchun is an example, what a good young man actually regards him as an idol, what if those mercenaries of King Gui are armed and arrive in Nanjing, what if it won't take long to be turned against Yang Qingxi?

"Why don't you contact the north?"

Mao Qiling said tentatively.

North......

It stands to reason that the north is indeed a good choice, and Dolgon's life is quite difficult now, in fact, he no longer has the courage to covet Jiangnan, and his greatest pursuit is self-preservation. Making Yang Qing unlucky is undoubtedly the greatest joy in his life, if he hires a group of Qing soldiers as thugs, especially the Eight Banners Divine Army, Dolgon will definitely raise his hands and agree.

But this is the case......

"It's better not to, in case Yang Qing knows, it will be difficult for us to tell."

Huang Zongxi said.

Yang Qing didn't care if they got a group of mercenaries from King Gui, but if they got a group of Qing soldiers to change their vests, it would be a reason for him to raid his home.

"I have a good choice."

Jiang Xizhen said.

"We can go to the Wa to recruit soldiers, and it is said that the Portuguese used them in large numbers, and these people were extremely obedient and loyal to their employers, and as long as they were given money, they would not defect. Before the Dutch attacked Malacca, Portugal, more than half of the defenders in the city were hired by the Japanese state, and none of these people surrendered to defend the city. King Gui also has a lot of them, let King Gui single out these people alone, and let's hire an additional group from the Wa Kingdom, they don't even understand the language with us, and they won't be bewitched by Yang Qing at all. ”

He continued.

"That's a brilliant plan!"

Huang Zongxi said with a suddenly enlightened expression.

It is undoubtedly the best choice to hire soldiers from the Japanese State at present, and countless ships from Ningbo Port go back and forth to Nagasaki every year, and as long as you are willing, it will take less than a month to bring back a ship. These Japanese were hard-working and extremely obedient, and they selected his Japanese soldiers from King Gui as officers, ordered the latest flintlock pistols from King Gui to arm these mercenaries, and then let them act as the guardians of the Emperor of Longxing. Moreover, the employment cost of these Japanese people is low, and in addition, they only recognize their employers and do not recognize others, that is to say, they only recognize the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang who pay them military salaries, so that the son of Longxing is easier to control.

As for why Longxing Tianzi has a group of Japanese guards......

Isn't the Wa Kingdom a Ming vassal?

Although the Wa State does not think so, but in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, the whole world is a Ming vassal, since this is the case Longxing Tianzi has a group of soldiers from his own subject country, this is also the embodiment of the Wa State's loyalty to the Longxing Son of Heaven.

"But how to send them to Chang'an?"

Lu Liuliang said.

"Will Dorgon stop you?"

Mao Qiling said with a smile.

Indeed, Dolgon will not stop it, he will fully cooperate to help these people pass through his control area, and then go to Li Zicheng to follow the Emperor of Longxing, Li Zicheng also does not mind such an army on his territory. As for their weapons mixed in the grain ship for Li Zicheng, they can also be easily sent to Luoyang, and now in addition to the stipulated one million stones, Li Zicheng also buys grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang every year and transports it to Luoyang.

Yang Qing did not care about this kind of trade at all, and there was a steady stream of boats from the canal north to the Yellow River during the opening of the river every year.

There are even those who go west to the Han River.

Just like during the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, Jianghuai grain was transported to Hanzhong by water, and directly supplied to the area controlled by Li Zicheng in Hanzhong.

"That's too few brigades, isn't it?"

Zhang Luxiang said.

"Then two, go to the Wa Kingdom and hire 8,000 mercenaries!"

Huang Zongxi waved his hand very generously and said.

Eight thousand mercenaries are only, and the amount of food that the Japanese people can't eat much a year, plus the military salary costs 200,000 yuan a year, so who doesn't have a family business of tens of thousands of taels? I came out casually, and I didn't keep it all the time, in fact, it's not bad to keep it all the time, Huang Zongxi suddenly found that the Zhejiang gentry had forgotten that there was still this choice, if they had raised a group of wouldn't have been so passive in the face of Yang Qing!

"Also, after you go to Chang'an, don't forget to ask us for a few official positions, how can Your Majesty not have your own court by your side."

Then he added.
