The leaders of the two parties quarreled, and Wang Fang accused the Liberal Party of being selfish and ignoring the interests of Fengzhou, and did not deserve to stay in the House at all, and should all resign and go home. The Liberal Party was scolded for a while, Shen Shoulian was anxious, and defended that the Liberal Party was also for everyone's interests, and the business scope of Fengzhou had expanded to the south of the Yangtze River. If you don't do business, where will the grain, cotton, and tea in Toyosu come from?

"Okay, I said why did you suddenly make peace, it turned out that the business was bigger, I remind you, it doesn't matter if we are poor, the Ming State government came in, and the first thing was to slaughter you as pigs." Wang Fang said viciously.

"We advocate peace, not surrender, and we may be able to settle things by stuffing some money in private, aren't all the officials of the Ming Kingdom like this." Shen Shoulian is a little lacking in confidence.

"Self-inflicted humiliation!" Wang Fang ignored Shen Shoulian, turned his head and pointed at Yang Tingfang, another leader of the Liberal Party, and said, "The Great Commander made a contract with your Datong landlord when he exchanged land, if the Ming government took our land in Datong, we will take your land in Hetao and Baoketu, and don't want to take advantage of us." ”

"Why, our fields are clean, you didn't keep it yourself, no wonder we don't believe it, you can ask Liu Xuan." Yang Tingfang jumped up as if he had been stepped on his tail, and pointed to Liu Tianren, the judge of the Great Law Division, and said.

"I Fengzhou to implement the precedent decision, but I have never encountered your situation before, I have searched the ancient and today's laws, and found that Tessie once had the ancient Roman state, its law stipulates that all good intentions, public possession of other people's property, accumulate a few years can have private rights, your field in Datong is the imperial court's guard field, but that was a hundred years ago, after turning into private property, it changed hands countless times, and even reported to the government, but the court turned a blind eye, can only be regarded as a waiver of rights, Fengzhou protects private property, of course I can determine that you are a legitimate landlord," Liu Tianren nodded, and without waiting for Yang Tingfang to laugh, he continued, "But this is just the opinion of the Great Law Division, unless you can call the Governor of the Ming Kingdom to respond to the lawsuit and accept the verdict, your land is still not coming from the right way." ”

Yang Tingfang shouted angrily: "How can this be reasonable, it has been a matter of a few lifetimes, but I was asked to come to the top of the tank, I don't accept it, so let's just pay for the grain, and the Fengzhou army will enter the Beijing division to change the dynasty." ”

"Shameless, you are also the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, you dare to rebel, do you want to rebel, kill this official first!" Liu Zhilun has been uncomfortable in his heart - the governor of Xuanda is greedy for merit and misleads the country, and the courtiers also want to get a piece of the pie, but no one has thought about the feelings of the people, and the naturalized people will not give in, this is undoubtedly provoking a war, thinking that the situation he has worked so hard to maintain has been in vain, a wave of anger has surged up, "Some people want to leave a name in history, some people want to take advantage of the chaos to make profits, and some people want to change the dynasty, a group of bastards, the world is rotten, and the common people are in trouble, are you happy?" ”

"Lord Governor, don't think about things so seriously, I dare to guarantee that the Fengzhou army will never commit any crimes when they enter the customs, and the people will also welcome them with a pot of pulp," Du Wenhuan said coldly, turned his face to Liu Zongzhou and said, "Lord Liu, you have always said that there are villains in the court, so if we go to Yang and arrest villains, it should be Qingjun's benevolence and righteousness." ”

"There are indeed villains in the court, but the Ming Dynasty has its own law, what are you? It's nothing more than barbarians, fugitives, profiteers, horse thieves, and ruffians, and it's not your turn to catch villains! Liu Zongzhou couldn't listen to it anymore, and couldn't help but speak viciously to each other.

The speaker of the House of Representatives, Omulun, jumped up angrily and scolded angrily in half-baked Chinese: "Dead old man, I am a barbarian, this is the land of our Mongols, you Han people get out, your court does not want to get a liter of rice and a sheep." ”

Ortai was furious when he heard this: "Speaker Omulun, there are no Han people here, no Mongols and Zhushen, only Fengzhou people, if you dare to talk nonsense, get out first." ”

"Lord Liu is right, we are not good people, so the imperial court can unscrupulously knock the bones and squeeze the marrow, and then starve us to death, just like the people of Guannei, but unfortunately the people of Fengzhou have never been slaves," Yun Rong did not speak, then slowly stood up, and said to everyone with a solemn expression, "The Ming court bullied the king, expropriated and extorted, and raised corrupt officials and corrupt officials to oppress the emperor's subjects, but they have no merit for the Ming Dynasty, such a court is not worthy of our allegiance, Fengzhou will always respect the Ming Dynasty, but only be loyal to the Ming Emperor." , not the Ming court, the Fengzhou Commander's Office and the Ming court are completely equal, not under each other's control, Fengzhou has the right to refuse all the laws and decrees of the Ming court, and at the same time, in order to protect the Ming Emperor, has the right to crusade against all the disloyalty of the Ming court. ”

Yun Rong's bizarre theories shocked everyone - the emperor and the court have always been a whole, no matter how bloody the two sides fight, they will never dare to split, otherwise they may change the dynasty, Yun Rong dug the corner of the Ming Dynasty too hard this time, and forcibly separated the two, and put forward the concept of "one emperor, two courts", and Fengzhou does have the strength to do this, what will become of this precedent once the world comes out?

"You, you ......" Liu Zongzhou was so angry that he couldn't speak, Liu Zhilun and Sun Qifeng were also pale, and pulled Liu Zongzhou to think of countermeasures - the three of them are all university scholars, and they know very well what the consequences of this set of crooked theories will be.

There was silence in the lobby, and after a while, Ortai and Liu Tianren glanced at each other, first stood up and applauded, then Li Huai, Du Wenhuan, Li Jianji, and then everyone stood up and applauded warmly, but most of them were confused, and they were still quietly asking the people around them - what did Lord Yunrong's words mean.

Yun Rong explained his intentions in detail, and everyone suddenly realized that they were talking happily, when suddenly two people ran in from outside the door, these two guys were dusty, tired, and panting, obviously just ran a long way - Bai Xianzhi, the ambassador of Tuntian sent to Guannai, and Wang Mumin, the ambassador of trade, returned.

"The Governor forced me to act as the Naturalized General Army, it's none of my business, I know the severity, Li Shuai threw the seal letter to Yanghe and brought it back, it's a big deal, you take it first, ouch, I'm dizzy and have a stomachache these days, and I fell on the road, no, I have to go home to raise for a few days." Bai Xianzhi shouted and shouted for a while, put the letter of the general soldier in front of Ortai, covered his stomach and left, and when he arrived at the door, he turned around and shouted, "The governor also said that in two days, the officials of the imperial court will be naturalized and take office, and the officials and soldiers will definitely escort them, so you should think about what to do first." ”

Bai Xianzhi ran away, and Wang Mumin began to cry again: After the arrival of the governor of Xuanda, he reaffirmed the law of the Ming Dynasty, and according to the old practice, the transactions in and outside the customs were limited to the horse market, which was supervised by the government, and it was strictly forbidden to trade without authorization anywhere, which could cost the lives of the merchants - relying on the support of Fengzhou, the merchants had no fear, and had long forgotten the laws of the Ming Dynasty and the former horse market, and they could do what they wanted to do in business, and they could do it wherever they wanted, and most of them were still shady businesses. The free trade in the towns of Xuanda was booming, and even officials, gentry, and border guards were involved, and the government neither dared nor could manage it, so it could only let it go. The Governor was strict with the law, and the merchants thought that it was just three fires for the new officials to take office, and they repeated the old tricks after only a few days of honesty, and even ran to pay bribes as before, but the new governor was a clean official, and he did not accept this at all, and ordered the local government to strictly investigate the illegal traders, and the merchants were chased to pieces, and no less than 100 people were arrested.

The accomplice was unfortunately caught, Wang Mumin naturally wanted to go to catch people, relying on being the chief soldier of Datong Fuyi for a few years, and went to the Yamen of the Datong Prefect to stir up trouble, but he did not expect that he was also targeted, and the Governor's Mansion specially sent someone to arrest him. This guy is a Mongolian Karaqin person, who has killed people with great courage, and dared to take out a firearm to resist arrest, and was almost killed by the official army, but fortunately he escaped with the help of friends from the government.

"The government raided my Dafuxing Restaurant, and the rest is okay, but there are three or four hundred catties of Liaodong ginseng in the warehouse, and it's all over, and I was arrested and stolen." Wang Mumin was so sad that he beat his chest, turned around and pointed at Shen Shoulian and said, "You are also going to be unlucky, the Governor's Mansion posted an official document, all Ming merchants and citizens outside the customs must return to the customs within a month, otherwise they will be excommunicated, and the silver taels you brought out of the customs without permission must also be recovered and confiscated, hehe, the governor of the Ming Kingdom is going to slaughter fat sheep." ”

Beat the snake and hit seven inches, Lu Xiangsheng's trick was drawn from the bottom of the kettle, Shen Shoulian and his group of businessmen turned blue, and their eyes began to redden, Yang Tingfang grabbed Sun Tingyao and shouted: "We Datong people have paid money to the Fengzhou Chamber of Commerce, you will fish out the people who were arrested in prison for me, God, we just want to earn a few more money, and the governor can't bully people casually if he wants to be a loyal man." ”

Du Wenhuan sneered and said: "It seems that he really wants to do it, and the Zanhua Military Affairs Office thinks that he should immediately send troops to the Guannei." ”

"No, the commander has an order, not a single soldier is allowed to enter the pass, and the army in the pass must also withdraw from the pass." Li Huai shook his head and replied.

"Yushan, Hermes-Epitek is thousands of miles away, it is impossible to know that the current situation is critical, and we must not hesitate to make a decision." Du Wenhuan looked very stubborn, Li Huai still shook his head in opposition, Du Wenhuan couldn't help but scolded angrily, "It's hard to teach, Fengzhou must be destroyed in your hands, okay, I'll figure it out myself." ”

Du Wenhuan turned his head and left, the leaders of the Liberal Party quarreled for a while, Li Jianji said hello and took them out. The meeting couldn't go on, Li Huai covered his head and sat on the chair to ponder, and after a while, Zanhua Military Affairs Gekuli ran in to report, and Lao Shuai and Ma Guangyuan ran to Manhan Mountain overnight.

"Big deal, I still don't think it's okay to send troops, what do you think?" Li Huai raised his head and asked Ortai.

Ortai didn't answer, turned his face to Du Hongtai and said with a smile: "Your uncle is really uncontrollable, as long as he has the opportunity, he will jump out." ”

"The big decision is misunderstood, my uncle and Yushan, Hanmin brothers are like father and son, worried about the safety of Fengzhou will be so urgent, his old man is right, the situation is urgent must be decided immediately, in fact, Mingguo has long been hopeless, a few jumping clowns have nothing to fear, take this opportunity to go south to Huguang, this is the fundamental plan of Fengzhou." Du Hongtai shook his head and replied, this former Baoming faction has changed his course and become a staunch anti-Ming faction in the past few years.

"Meng Qing is so confused, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is far above Fengzhou, and the result of the fight will force Fengzhou to form an alliance with the Qing State, so that the overall situation we have carefully arranged will be completely ruined, no, I will never allow ......" Li Huai said categorically.

"I'll talk about the matter of the old man later, and inform Deputy Commander Batu to go to Manhan Mountain immediately," Ortai waved his hand to interrupt Li Huai, and then pointed at Wang Fang and ordered, "You and Zhang Guoji entered the customs overnight, you know what to do!" ”

Fengzhou Chamber of Commerce, the businessmen returned to the nest and immediately shouted to kill, and Yang Tingfang, a wealthy businessman in Datong, publicly shouted, whoever cuts off his financial route, he will cut off who's way of life. Li Jianji scolded Shen Shoulian and his gang, accusing them of retreating from the battle with a weak head and brains when the general election was approaching, seriously tarnishing the image of the Liberal Party, and they must make a deep introspection, and then send someone to call Bai Xianzhi, who went home and pretended to be sick.

"Lao Bai, everyone is an old friend, let's be honest, the governor of the Ming Kingdom wants to slaughter a fat sheep, but we are not easy to mess with, we must show him some color, are you willing to help us." Li Jianji saw that Bai Xianzhi was silent, stretched out four fingers and said, "After the matter is completed, the military budget will be doubled, and I will give you this number." ”

"Is that all there is to it?" Bai Xianzhi's eyes lit up and asked.

"We will also put forward a bill in the House of Parliament to set up a division of soldiers and horses in the Prime Minister's Office, but don't worry, we only supervise the use of military funds, and will not interfere in the military affairs of the Praise and Painting Office, which is fair, right?" Sun Tingyao immediately added.

"Deal!" Bai Xianzhi immediately stretched out his palm.

Nearly 1,000 party members held a grand march in Naturalization, shouting slogans such as "Defending Fengzhou is defending freedom" and "If you are not free, you would rather die," and won the goodwill of the citizens of Fengzhou. The Civic Party was frightened, and Zhang Mengcun made a special trip to return to Hua, arranging the arrangement with Wang Fang and Bi Lige, and then organized a larger procession, shouting more radical slogans "The flower of freedom must be watered with the blood of a tyrant" and "Never let a dog official enter Fengzhou". The Liberal Party simply beat gongs and drums to openly recruit the merchant army, and the Civic Party solemnly pointed out that the merchant army also had their share, because the backbone of the merchant army, including the leader Buck, was a member of the citizen party, and the Liberal Party unceremoniously refused to rub it off, and Fang Zhikun, a member of the Liberal Party and the leader of the merchant army, openly declared that the merchant army was the party army of the Liberal Party, and accepted donations from the bosses of the Liberal Party in public in the Naturalization Square.

The two parties faced each other in the streets and alleys of naturalization, and the inspection department had to send out all the inspections to maintain order, and Zhang Liwei, the naturalization garrison, was also a little nervous, and recruited 1,000 strong people to enter the naturalization city for vigilance. The Prime Minister's Office was impatient, Li Huai convened the leaders of the two parties to give a lecture, the order of Fengzhou must not be chaotic, if you want to make trouble, you can go to Guannai, we don't care how to make trouble, the common people, if there is a grievance, you should naturally go to the government, but you are not allowed to play the banner of Fengzhou. The leaders of the two parties understood and soon reached a deal, and the Civic Party recognized the Liberal Party's position as the leader of the merchant army, and the Liberal Party agreed to give some credit to the Civic Party.

Zhou Yi suddenly returned to naturalization from Bao Ketu at this time, accompanied by Wu Langha's follower Wang Ershun, who brought back the important instructions of the party leader - Wu Langha was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Liberal Party, thinking that the party premier Shen Shoulian was right-leaning and conservative at a critical moment, and was no longer suitable to continue to serve as the main leader of the party, she recommended Zhou Su to take over as prime minister, and called on all party comrades to have money and strength to contribute, and must overwhelm the Civic Party in the struggle against the Ming State, so as to win the opportunity for the upcoming general election. The proposal of the party leader was responded to by the vast majority of party members, and Zhou Yi, who had a bad stomach, was honorably elected as the prime minister of the Liberal Party, and Shen Shoulian also made a profound review, saying that he would continue to work for the party from scratch, in fact, he had already figured it out, he and a group of southern party members did not care about changing the dynasty, mainly worried that the war would continue, and the family and industry left in their hometown would be affected, but now the government wants to slaughter fat sheep, so it can't be controlled much, who is afraid of anyone with money and soldiers!

The Liberal Party is led by Zhou Yi and Sun Tingyao, Fang Zhikun and Buck are generals, Yang Tingfang is a military officer, and the army swears to set off, in order to strengthen the momentum, Sun Tingyao's two Hongyi cannons that cannot be sold are also brought, more than 1,000 people beat the gong and blow the trumpet, and they are out of naturalization in a chaotic manner, and there are dozens of lamas in the team - Fengzhou has a decree, the lamas are responsible for maintaining the good customs of the people, and there is no problem with the combat strength of the merchant army, according to their boasting that a merchant army can fight three Eight Banner soldiers and ten Ming troops, However, most of them had been horse thieves or ruffians, and their hands and feet were not very clean, so the Lama sent people to supervise military discipline so that they would not go out and do bad things.

Twenty miles out of the sun and the mouth, a hill and valley between the sound of killing shook the sky, the horn sounded, a Ming army is in a heavy encirclement, two or three thousand people crowded together to support hard, the opponent does not seem to be in a hurry to attack, but to the rangers continue to attack and harass, gradually compress the Ming army into a group, the Ming army is unable to break through, the rescue soldiers are nowhere to be seen, the situation is getting worse and worse, the civil officials in the formation are trembling with fear.

The guerrillas of the Governor broke out in a cold sweat on their backs, Hu Yi was strong and worthy of his reputation, the thieves were not worth mentioning compared to them, just out of Yang and Kou in the morning, these people came to entangle, he thought it was the common people, and ordered his subordinates to disperse the Diao people, but the Diao people were not scared of the officers and soldiers at all, while blowing the trumpet to call for reinforcements, while also shooting cold arrows, as more and more people came to reinforce them, including the three thousand officers and soldiers including the five hundred Governor Biao cavalry, they were actually surrounded by the Diao people, and they couldn't move - which is the common people, not only the battle formation is skillful, and the advance and retreat are the same, And the weapons are much better than those of the official army, the knife used is a heavy knife with a long blade and a thick back, the bow used is a hard bow with a strength of seven or eight buckets, the arrows used are extremely sharp three-edged arrows, and armor and firearms are not uncommon.

The other party has reinforcements arrived, and today it seems that they have to explain here - the guerrillas are a little desperate, and the Ming army shouted and told the other party that they escorted the court officials to naturalize and go to their posts, not to provoke, the other party's reply was very simple, and they couldn't control the court officials when they took office, but the officers and soldiers must be disarmed when they enter Fengzhou. Of course, the officers and soldiers will not disarm the common people, but they know that they are not opponents when they do it, and it is difficult to save their lives now.
