Text Chapter 378 Jianghu Morality
(Thank you for the commuter pass of the book friend "yuen source"!! οΌ
Tong Tuchang in Fujian is also very anxious, Li Chengdong has been lukewarm, and he has been hanging Tong Tuchang for the past month. Li Yuanyin has been in contact with Tong Tuchang many times and talked about many conditions. Other Tong Tuchang can agree, but Li Yuanyin mentioned that Tong Tuchang will never dare to agree, that is, Li Chengdong wants to follow the example of Muwangfu in Yunnan and Fujian in Shizhen. This is simply impossible, Yunnan and Fujian can be compared. Yunnan during the Ming Dynasty was not a tourist attraction for later generations, with birds singing and flowers. The great development of Yunnan-Guizhou is also thanks to the great traitor Wu Sangui, who was in charge of Yunnan to forcefully suppress the local ethnic minorities, and carried out genocide against some Tusi who did not obey the land and returned to the stream, and brought a large number of Han people. After Wu Sangui's strong measures, coupled with the Manchu Qing Dynasty's immigration policy of more than 200 years, it was only at the end of the Qing Dynasty that the Han population in Yunnan and Guangxi accounted for the majority.
However, Fujian is not Yunnan, which is full of miasma, Fujian has been a Han nationality since the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, although the population is not as much as Nanzhili, Jiangxi, and Huguang, but the province also has a population of five or six million, and Tong Tuchang does not need to consult Emperor Zhu Hongsan to know that Shizhen Fujian is absolutely not good.
Tong Tuchang also said to Li Yuanyin that other conditions are easy to say, any official position and money can be discussed, but Shizhen Fujian is absolutely not good. Unexpectedly, Li Chengdong's side bit this line and did not let go, so the negotiations reached an impasse.
Today is the first day of the seventh month, Tong Tuchang is sitting in Hou Zhen's farm and worried, and Wang Xian's brocade guards are not idle. These guys have silver in their hands, and with the help of Hou Zhen's ground-sitting cannon, they are very troublesome in Fuzhou City. A few days ago, I just set up a bureau to deceive the general manager of a Han military banner, got 100 taels of silver, and today I want to come to the door to collect debts. So Wang Xian brought fifty people into the city early.
That is always the heart of Liaodong, where is Wang Xian's opponent of the rotten boy, plus Wang Xian deliberately bears him, and Li Luoli owes Wang Xian a hundred taels of silver. You must know that the total is only one tael of silver per month, and one hundred taels of silver is the total net worth. So today, the general covenant Wang Xian went to the city to negotiate.
Wang Xian knew that there would be no good banquet and no good banquet, and he would definitely have to fight hard today, so he brought all the people who could fight in Jinyiwei, a total of fifty people, this kind of market melee is different from the battlefield, more people are not necessarily better, fifty people are enough.
When he came to the restaurant in the agreed place in Beicheng, Wang Xian let his subordinates spread out a few hundred meters away from the restaurant, and saw that his signal was going upstairs, and after the arrangement, Wang Xian walked into the restaurant alone.
Today, the restaurant was contracted by the general manager, and there was no one in the lobby, just more than 20 soldiers in civilian clothes. Wang Xian didn't take it to heart, and walked into the restaurant with a grin.
The general manager saw that Wang Xian came by himself, and said in a stunned manner: "Wang Xian, you are so bold, you dare to come to the meeting alone?" β
Wang Xian smiled and said: "Mr. Jia, pay off the debt, is there no royal law in the world of the Qing Dynasty?" β
Jia Jiang always looked at Wang Xian's domineering, and didn't say anything, hehe sneered: "Wang Xian, don't talk about anything else, the rules in the army, you are not allowed to bring weapons in fights, do you dare to let me search for it?" β
Wang Xian laughed and scolded: "Do you think that our Henan people are the same as you black blind people in Liaodong? If you fight, you fight, what weapons do you bring? Let's search! β
After Wang Xian finished speaking, he unbuttoned his shirt and asked Jia to search the general people.
Seeing that Wang Xianzhen didn't bring an inch, Jia stretched out his thumb and praised: "Wang Xian, I really admire you now, you guy is really a character." Now come upstairs with me, shall you? β
Wang Xian was stunned and went upstairs? Isn't it a negotiation? Are there outsiders?
Wang Xian and Jia went upstairs and came to a private room, in which sat a big man, one meter eight high, one head higher than Wang Xian who was one meter seven, and two widths of Wang Xian.
Wang Xian glanced back at Mr. Jia and asked, "Mr. Jia, why are there outsiders?" β
"Wang Xian, this is my brother-in-law, I heard about the two of us and want to see you today."
When the man in the room saw Wang Xian coming, he also stood up and arched his hand and said, "This is Brother Wang!" I am a lieutenant officer under the Futai standard, my name is Tong Shun, you can call me Brother Tong! β
surnamed Tong, it seems to be a relative of Governor Tong Guonai. Wang Xian didn't speak, arched his hands, and went into the house to sit on the side of the window, planning to escape by jumping out of the window in case it was not good.
Tong Shun saw that Wang Xian was so rude, and didn't say anything, and after sitting down, he said: "Brother Wang, I heard my brother-in-law talk about you, and today he asked you to come out to negotiate, I just want to see what kind of person Brother Wang is!" β
"Lord Tong, I, Wang Xian, am just a small soldier, I used to be a scoundrel in the market, but I can't afford to be praised by Lord Tong!"
Tong Shun shook his hand and said, "Hey! Don't say that, how many big names come from the market, wasn't Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, a scoundrel in the market? Even the background of Zhu Yuanzhang in the former Ming Dynasty is not much better. Brother Wang Xian is bold and careful, and his official position in Li Chengdong is not small! β
"There, it's still a little worse than Lord Tong, just barely eating. Lord Tong, you didn't come today just to chat with me! β
"Brother Wang said, I came today to make friends with Brother Wang."
After Tong Shun finished speaking, he took out a silver ticket from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Wang Xian.
Wang Xian took a look, "two hundred taels of silver", a big deal.
"Master Tong, I remember that your brother-in-law owes me a hundred taels, why the extra one hundred taels?"
"Haha, Brother Wang, put away the silver first, and my brother will talk to you in detail!"
Wang Xian thought about it, he didn't take a bastard if he had money, and picked up the silver ticket from the table and put it in his arms.
Tong Shun was very happy when he saw Wang Xian receiving the money, and asked, "Since Brother Wang is so happy, then Brother I won't hide it." Brother Wang did well with Li Chengdong? β
Wang Xian was thoughtful, his eyes were empty, and when he heard Tong Shun ask, he knew that this guy wanted to find out the news from himself. His task is to make Tong Guonai and Li Chengdong have a conflict, and he just used this opportunity to give Li Chengdong bad medicine.
"Hey! Don't say it, Lord Li promised that we, the old brothers who followed him, would have official positions, and I promised to send me a county lieutenant, and I gave me all the silver, but who would have thought that Li Chengdong, a bastard, would accept the money and not do anything, I was really empty! β
Tong Shun was overjoyed when he heard Wang Xian say this, as a lieutenant officer under the governor's standard, plus he was Tong Guonai's protΓ©gΓ©, he naturally knew some of his master's plans. After hearing that his brother-in-law owed money, Tong Shun felt that this was a good opportunity to find out the news of Li Chengdong, so he and Jia Jiang came to see Wang Xian, otherwise Tong Shun would have the heart to care about the life and death of a concubine's younger brother.
"Brother Wang, if you don't do well on Li Chengdong's side, you can find my brother and me, I don't dare to say anything about other official positions, and it's still okay to be a general manager."
Wang Xian sighed and said, "Thank you Brother Tong for your kindness, but brother, I have followed Hou Ye Gao from Henan, and then followed Li Chengdong, I am really reluctant!" β
"Hey! Brother Wang, Li Chengdong is naturally no problem with being nice to you, but now that his own wife and concubine are living happily, you old brothers can't eat, so don't care what he thinks? β
After Tong Shun finished speaking, he asked Mr. Jia to go out and let the store serve a table of good wine and food, and was ready to talk with Wang Xian while eating.
After the wine and food came up, Tong Shun poured a glass for Wang Xian and said, "Brother Wang, what are the actions in your military camp!" β
Hearing Tong Shun ask, Wang Xian knew that the opportunity had come.
"In the past half a month, Li Chengdong ordered the whole army not to leave the camp, and the weapons have been sent, I don't know what to do!"
As soon as Tong Shun heard that there was a play, if he found out that Li Chengdong had a disobedient heart, the governor would definitely give him a generous reward, and it was not impossible for him to be a general and deputy general.
Tong Shun hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Wang, tell me in detail, what is Li Chengdong going to do?" β
Wang Xian saw Tong Shun's fat head in front of him, which was a good opportunity to do it.
Wang Xian shouted: "Fuck your mother!" After speaking, he picked up the pot of hot soup that had just been brought up on the table and buckled it Tong Shun's head.
There was a thick layer of hot oil floating on top of this pot of soup, and it didn't look hot, but it was extremely hot inside. The porcelain soup pot fell on Tong Shun's bare head and immediately fell apart, and the soup inside was flowing all over his face, if there was hair on the top of his head, it could be stronger, at least buffer. Tong Shun was unlucky to be unlucky in the freshly shaved head this morning, the head was shaved brightly, this large basin of 100 degrees of hot oil poured on the bald head can still be good, Tong Shun hit and burned, and immediately fainted.
Jia Jiang, who was sitting on the side, looked stupid, just now the two of them were still turning their faces over what they said about wine and talking?
Wang Xian has extremely rich experience in fighting, and after knocking Tong Shun unconscious, he picked up the chair he was sitting on, shook his hand and threw it out of the window, which was a signal to his own people outside. Then Wang Xian grabbed the dishes on the table and hit Mr. Jia.
Jia Jiangzong had already recovered at this time, quickly stood up to avoid the flying plate, and reached into his arms and took out the hidden dagger.
Seeing that Jia was always carrying weapons, Wang Xian scolded: "You bastard, you Liaodong people don't have a good thing, didn't you say that you don't have weapons?" β
Mr. Jia sneered: "You Henan barbarians are really stupid, what age are you talking about and what kind of morality are you talking about?" Watch Grandpa kill you today! After Jia finished speaking, he stabbed Wang Xian with a dagger.
Wang Xian had no choice but to go around the table and talk to Mr. Jia.
At this moment, the door of the box was kicked open, Ding Wei and Xue Yue came in, Wang Xian saw that his people were overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to snatch Ding Wei's long knife, and scolded: "Jia Wangba, come and compare knife skills with grandpa!" β
Seeing that Wang Xian's knife was five or six times longer than his own, Mr. Jia scolded him: "Wang Xian, you still don't talk about morality, don't you say that you don't want to bring people?" β
"Talk about your mother's morality, what did you say just now, what age is this, look at grandpa killing you today!"
After Wang Xian finished speaking, he beckoned Ding Wei and Xue Yue to go up together, and Mr. Jia scolded Wang Xian for not preaching morality, and at the same time used a small dagger to block him.
