Text Chapter 475 Qian Qianyi, who is unpopular
Zhu Hongsan touched his beard when he heard Ma Jiyuan say this, and nodded. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, eastern Zhejiang and southern Zhili were the areas with the most fierce resistance, and some intellectuals died in their families, and these people were typical examples of Zhu Hongsan who needed to be commended. But do not forget that there are many others who have become traitors.
As soon as the Manchus occupied Nanzhili, they encountered desperate resistance from various places, and Dolgon adjusted his strategy and sent Hong Chengchou as the governor of the six provinces south of the Yangtze River. Although Hong Chengchou's character is not very good, his ability and wrist are absolutely superb. Nanzhili and Zhejiang, which were originally fighting everywhere, gradually flattened under the means of Hong Chengchoufu's main suppression, among which some spineless families in Nanzhili played an absolute role.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was also a big warlord Zhang Shicheng in this place, and Zhang Shicheng was very popular with the local people, and after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang's careful eye, Suzhou, Songjiang, and Huzhou were the heaviest taxes. Hong Chengchou grasped this point, and immediately reduced the taxes of the three provinces after taking office, thus leaving a good impression in the big families of the three provinces, coupled with Hong Chengchou's continuous fight against the rebel armies from all walks of life, most of the rebel armies in the other prefectures were exterminated except for Guangdezhou, and a large number of scholars returned to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. For example, Zhang Guowei, Qian Sule and others had no foothold in Nanzhili, and they had no choice but to flee to Zhoushan.
And Zhedong and Nanzhili are not the same, Zhedong is the nest of King Lu, and most of the families here have joined the ranks of supporting King Lu, so the Qing army is basically suppressing and exterminating Zhedong, so that the number of righteous troops in Zhedong is very large.
And Zhu Hongsan has just arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and these local tyrants in eastern Zhejiang who followed King Lu to raise troops must be rewarded, but only the official position and land can satisfy them, and the official position is easy to say, and now there are many empty positions in the central government, and the land will be in trouble. However, Ma Jiyuan's words just now reminded Zhu Hongsan that the land in eastern Zhejiang is not enough, but there are many in Nanzhili. Not only in the south of Zhili, but also in Huzhou, Jiaxing, and Hangzhou in northern Zhejiang, a large number of local scholars took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the family property and land of these people should be able to satisfy the appetite of the resistance faction in eastern Zhejiang and the nouveau riche in Huguang and Guangdong.
"Mr. Ma is right, Xuanzhu, pass on the decree, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangsu provinces will confiscate the property and land of the local scholar families who have taken refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty according to their judges, and wait for disposal!"
As soon as Zhu Hongsan's words came out, everyone was very happy, the civil and military officials present were either the old department of Huguang or the upstart of Guangdong, and then they were the resistance faction in eastern Zhejiang. Zhang Huangyan was about to oppose when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this, but Chen Zilong beside him gently stabbed him, and now he immediately became the enemy of all officials when he raised objections, which is not a good thing. Zhang Huangyan thought for a while, he had no choice but to be silent, he knew that even if he didn't agree, the Zhang family behind him would force him to agree. The Zhang family is a scholar in Ningbo, and there was a cabinet scholar and a military secretary during the Wanli period, and there are scholars as officials from generation to generation, and it can be said that the scenery is unique in Ningbo. The Zhang family resolutely stood on the side of King Lu when the Manchu Dynasty hit Zhejiang, and the princess of King Lu was the daughter of the Zhang family. Of course, the Zhang family paid a lot in two years, many Zhang family members died in the battle with the Manchus, and the head of the Zhang family even sold most of the Zhang family's land to support the rebels in order to support the rebels. Now it's time to divide the fruits, if Zhang Huangyan, who is a side branch of the Zhang family, objects to it, the head of the Zhang family will definitely ask the family law to clean up the door.
Looking at the officials in eastern Zhejiang who were glowing red, Zhang Huangyan sighed in his heart, it seems that this is the second "Shun case"!
After Chongzhen came to power, a large number of Donglin Party officials were used, and these Donglin-stirring sticks are really not very good, and most of these people took refuge in Li Zicheng after Li Zicheng entered Beijing. So Ruan Dacheng, who was a "eunuch party" back then, made such a smooth case in order to take revenge on this gang of Donglin-stirring sticks.
Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, the Southern Ming Dynasty needed to unite all forces to unite with the outside world, which was a critical juncture, which caused Zuo Liangyu in Huguang to get the truth of "Qing Jun's side", so that the Qing army in the north could find a hole and go south to occupy Nanjing.
And now that it is the second "Shun case", Zhang Huangyan really doesn't want to see the court fall into civil strife again. Of course, Zhang Huangyan would not raise objections in front of so many people, and he was ready to pick an opportunity to raise them with the emperor at night.
Zhu Hongsan looked at all the officials around him with joy, and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, these stinky old men said one by one the righteousness and awe-inspiring, what is the great truth for the country and the people. Now I see that I can get benefits, and I am not a happy old face like a chrysanthemum! It seems that everything that is for the king and the people is false, and only real interests are real.
Ma Jiyuan, who was on the side, waited for the ministers to be happy, and then said: "Your Majesty, in this case, do those ministers who have been officials in the Manchu Qing Dynasty also follow this rule? ”
Originally, more than 20 ministers around Zhu Hongsan talked and laughed, after all, he was promoted, made a fortune, died his wife, and the three happy events in his life were naturally happy to get two today. A few old guys are still wondering if they should go back to take a concubine in a room and have a three-happy arrival. But when he heard Ma Jiyuan's small voice, he immediately all of them were silent, and the boat was so quiet that he could even hear the noise of the crowd at Haiyan Wharf a mile away.
These ministers are not stupid, just now they felt that Ma Jiyuan was really exquisite, and dared to speak up for the interests of his colleagues, but now he found out that Ma Jiyuan didn't think so at all, what he wanted was Qian Qianyi.
Qian Qianyi was secretly happy at first, because he couldn't bring Guangdong with 10,000 acres of fertile land in Changshu, all he could bring was some gold and silver. Now that there is the emperor's words, he can legally ask for his own things, and maybe he can have tens of thousands of acres of land. Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but be secretly happy, it seems that his unlucky son-in-law is still good to him.
Qian Qianyi didn't expect that the tone of his words would change immediately afterwards, how could Ma Jiyuan talk about the people who were officials in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he was a proper minister.
The Qian family was originally a large landlord in Changshu County, Suzhou, and originally had a huge fortune. But Lao Qian didn't find the right time when he was born, and he was displaced all his life. When he was young, he offended people, was dismissed from his official position, and spent several years in prison, and after being released from prison, he was idle at home for more than ten years. When Emperor Hongguang came to power, he finally became a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he was waiting to enter the cabinet, at this time, he met Zhu Hongsan, the star of the fate, and was robbed of tens of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention, his daughter was also robbed, and most of the books in the house were burned by Zhu Hongsan, and the newly married wife Liu Ru was also raped by the bastard Zhu Hongsan to the point of coma.
However, these are nothing in the eyes of Qian Dashangshu, as long as he can enter the cabinet, everything is a floating cloud. Next, the Manchu Qing Dynasty crossed the Yangtze River and occupied Nanjing, Qian Qianyi originally thought that with his prestige, the Manchu barbarians must invite themselves out of the mountain, and they could also enter the cabinet as a cabinet elder at the very least, so when the Manchu Qing Dynasty's conscription order came, Qian Qianyi went to Beijing happily.
But who would have thought that although the Manchurians did not read the Four Books and the Five Classics, they still saw very clearly what Qian Qianyi was a person like Qian Qianyi who had nothing left over and what he could do, and directly gave him an idle errand for the Ministry of Rites to write books. Lao Qian saw that he was really a widow and died of his son this time, and he had no hope at all, so he returned to his hometown in Changshu in frustration.
When I thought of going back to Changshu, the eldest wife and the little wife were all abducted by Zhu Hongsan, and the old money was so angry that they jumped into the Yangtze River. However, Lao Qian thought clearly under the guidance of Liu Ruye, since the whole family went to Guangdong, it was better to go to Guangdong himself, I heard that his daughter was still very favored by the King of Chu, and he was happy to realize his dream of entering the cabinet.
After Qian Qianyi came to Guangdong, he was also idle by Zhu Hongsan for a period of time, because Zhu Hongsan thought the same as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, you Qian Qianyi can not do two crooked poems and bullshit, what do you want? This is still Zhu Hongsan's desire to leave Qian Qianyi on his wife's face, and according to Zhu Hongsan's character, he has already been sent to Luzon to open a mine.
However, after more than 40 years of bad luck, Lao Qian finally came to work, and he caught up with the great development period of Zhu Hongsan Group. If Zhu Hongsan wants to counterattack Nanzhili, he must deal with the local scholars, although Qian Qianyi's character is not very good, but his appeal among the Nanzhili scholars is still good. In addition, Qian Qianyi can indeed toss, which allowed Lao Qian to enter the cabinet, which can be regarded as making Lao Qian's cabinet dream complete.
However, it was precisely because Qian Qianyi was too anxious to enter the cabinet that he offended the Guangdong faction and the Ma family, and Ma Jiyuan made it difficult for Qian Qianyi by dealing with the traitor.
Qian Qianyi saw Ma Jiyuan aiming the cannon at himself, he was really anxious like an ant on a hot pot, although he was shameless, but after being impeached, he couldn't do this kind of thing. Qian Qianyi looked at the ministers around him, hoping that someone would come forward and say good things to him.
At this time, it can be seen that Qian Qianyi's past character is coming, and none of the more than 20 ministers has spoken for Qian Qianyi. Even his political ally Tong Yangjia rolled his eyes to the sky, pretending not to see it.
Qian Qianyi complained bitterly in his heart, who called him usually too snobbish and offended everyone. Among the ministers present were the Huguang faction, these people were headed by Ma Jiyuan and Tong Yangjia, and the boss didn't speak, so naturally no one came forward. There is also the Guangdong faction, these people are angry that Qian Qianyi used means to get Huang Yingxiu away, and now they see that Qian Qianyi is unlucky, and if he doesn't step on his feet, he is already benevolent, so he can speak for him. The rest are the Zhedong faction, these people are all hardcore anti-Qing factions, knowing Qian Qianyi Shiqing's past, they are not ashamed of his character, let alone speak for him.
Qian Qianyi saw that no one was interceding for him, so he only took off his official hat, knelt down on his knees and said, "Your Majesty, the beggar bones!" "Lao Qian is unwilling, he has only been a cabinet elder for less than two months and is about to retire home, probably he is the shortest cabinet elder in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Just when everyone thought that Qian Qianyi was about to get out, Zhang Huangyan, a student of Lao Qian, couldn't stand it anymore, he shook off Chen Zilong, who was pulling him, and stood up to speak generously for Lao Qian.
