Tonight is the first time Zhu Hongsan has entered Hangzhou, and some big gentry in Hangzhou will come to visit in the evening, which is the most important thing, whether Zhu Hongsan can gain a firm foothold in Zhejiang depends on these gentry, so the slightest mistake cannot be made.

Of course, those who can come to pay homage to Zhu Hongsan are the gentry who resolutely resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and those who defect to the Manchu Qing Dynasty are all imprisoned and waiting for the review of the judges and Jinyiwei, but they just follow the flow of confiscation of family property and are reduced to common people, and some of the people who stand behind the Manchu Qing Dynasty to help the abuse want to send the whole family to Luzon, these years are the period of great development of Luzon, and there is a shortage of manpower in the local area, so Zhu Hongsan basically abolished the death penalty in his own ruling area, and sent Luzon to Luzon no matter what, which can be regarded as making a little contribution to Luzon's economic development.

Zhu Hongsan had a very happy conversation with these rich people, and gave these guys a lot of land, anyway, these lands are not him Zhu Hongsan, they are all those in the city who are attached to the Manchu gentry, and use other people's things to buy people's hearts, of course Zhu Hongsan likes it. However, Zhu Hongsan did not have no benefits at all, he exchanged a large number of grain fields outside Hangzhou for the tidal flat and sand on both sides of the Qiantang River.

Because the Qiantang River is flooded by the sea tide every month, there are many saline-alkali lands along the river, and nothing grows in such land, and those rich people don't know what the emperor wants these lands to do. But since the emperor is willing to exchange good land, why not do it himself? So both sides benefited, and everyone talked happily.

But don't think that Zhu Hongsan is a fool, he bought a large number of tidal flats in preparation for the construction of a third industrial zone here in Hangzhou. Two years later, after the completion of the Hangzhou Industrial Zone, those rich landowners found that the tidal flats that they did not need money before were more expensive than gold, and they regretted that their bowels were green.

Just when Zhu Hongsan was wooing the local gentry in Hangzhou, in the governor's yamen in Hangzhou, Yu Shilong, the new governor of Zhejiang, was also screening the surrendered officials in Hangzhou.

Thanks to the strength of Zhu Hongsan's army, Hangzhou was captured in only one day. The Manchurian officials and Han military banner officials in the city were unlucky, and the Manchurians didn't have a word at all, the men were directly beheaded, the beautiful women were sold into slavery, and the ugly and inappropriate age were all sent to Luzon. The officials of the Han military banner were not bad, and basically the whole family went to Luzon if there was no great evil, and the people were more angry and treated with Manchurian officials. Also entering the city were a large number of Dongchang and Jinyiwei people, whose task was to deal with these surrendered officials.

However, in addition to these foreign officials, there are also a large number of local officials in Hangzhou who surrendered to the former Nanming, including Liu Zhengheng, the prefect of Hangzhou. In fact, Lao Liu is not bad as an official, and it was not his fault when Hangzhou surrendered, it was King Lu who opened the city gate and surrendered, but everyone knows this truth, but Jinyiwei doesn't care which ones you have. After the city of Hangzhou was broken, all the officials in Hangzhou took off their official hats and took them to the governor's yamen to wait for the new governor Yu to deal with them.

In this way, Liu Zhengheng trembled and followed Jinyiwei to the governor's yamen in Hangzhou, standing at the door in the cold autumn wind and waiting for his fate.

The first group to enter were several provincial-level yamen officials, whose chief officials were either Manchurians or Han military banners, and after the Ming army entered the city, these people were either beheaded or sneaked away, leaving these middle-level officials here to wait for questioning.

After half an hour, these people came out one after another, some rejoicing and some worried.

Liu Zhengheng grabbed an acquaintance and asked, "Master Zhang, how is it?" ”

What Liu Zhengheng grasped was the experience of the subordinate department of the Yamen of the Political Division, mainly in charge of the documents of the Political Division, and compared with later generations, he was the director of the Provincial General Office, which was very important.

Master Zhang looked at no one around him, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, give the suspension and retention of the lower officials, saying that it depends on the performance!" ”

When Liu Zhengheng heard that he was suspended and retained, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so that things could be relieved. Unexpectedly, Master Zhang continued: "It's not all like this, the lower officials manage the documents, it's not a big deal, but Wu Liwen of the Institute of Reasoning is unlucky!" "Liwen is also one of the subordinate agencies of the Yamen of the Political Secretary, mainly responsible for the handling of criminal cases, and is similar to the judicial bureau in later generations, and has a lot of power in his hands.

When Liu Zhengheng heard this, he quickly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Needless to say, Lao Wu is in charge of nuclear punishment, can there be fewer murder cases in his hands, and he was assigned to Luzon by the new governor. My mother, I heard that Luzon can be thousands of miles away, farther than Qiongzhou, that place is full of cannibals, and I don't know how many years I can live if I go! ”

Lord Zhang's words annoyed the Jinyi guard standing guard on the side, and scolded angrily: "What are you muttering? Is it here to talk about the government? ”

Master Zhang and Liu Zhengheng were both officials of the former Ming Dynasty, and they knew that the killing talents of these Jinyi guards were experts out of nothing, so they quickly bowed their heads and remained silent.

The brocade-clothed Wei Xiaoqi looked at the two of them and didn't speak, came to Liu Zhengheng and asked, "Are you the prefect of Hangzhou?" ”

"Back to my lord, the next official is Liu Zhengheng, the prefect of Hangzhou!"

"Okay, you go in! The Governor is waiting for you inside! ”

Liu Zhengheng looked at the surroundings and saw that there were no outsiders, took out a large ingot of silver from his pocket, which was fifteen taels, stuffed it into the hand of the little flag, and said in a low voice: "This big brother, this is a little heart!" ”

The little flag shook the silver, smiled and said: "You are still sensible, rest assured, as long as you have not done anything evil with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, you are basically suspended and retained, my Emperor Shenwu is very enlightened!" ”

Liu Zhengheng was relieved when he heard this, although he was in front of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the prefect of Hangzhou, but in addition to the daily collection of grain and taxes, he had nothing to do with the Manchurians, and it seemed that he should have no problem.

Although Liu Zhengheng comforted himself in his heart, he was still scared enough when it was his turn to pass the hall, and he stumbled into the lobby under the leadership of the brocade guard Xiaoqi. When he came in, he didn't dare to look up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said: "The criminal officer Liu Zhengheng, the prefect of Hangzhou, has seen the governor!" ”

After Liu Zhengheng finished speaking, he heard a voice above and asked, "Liu Zhengheng?" But Liu Fuding of Anqiu, Shandong? ”

Liu Zhengheng heard someone call himself, and quickly replied: "It's the criminal officer!" ”

"Haha, it's really you, Lao Liu, you raise your head and see who I am!"

Liu Zhengheng heard what the adults above said, and then raised his head and looked seriously at the governor sitting in the hall. Liu Zhengheng looked at it this way, and found that this governor recognized him as Yu Shilong of his own year.

Liu Zhengheng and Yu Shilong are both Jinshi in Chongzhen's four years, but Liu Zhengheng is the second and Yu Shilong is the third class. Therefore, after the end of the minister's observation, Liu Zhengheng, who had studied well, was selected to be the magistrate of Nanzhili County. And Yu Shilong was not good at learning and was sent to Guangxi to be the magistrate, but Yu Shilong was good at tossing, and a few years later he was transferred to Guangzhou Mansion as a fellow magistrate, and then he met Zhu Hongsan.

And Liu Zhengheng is not bad, he served as the prefect of Nanzhili for three years, and was directly promoted to the governor of Suzhou Prefecture, and then was transferred to Hangzhou as the prefect. But Liu Zhengheng was unlucky, he met not Zhu Hongsan, the king of Chu, but Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, so he became an official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in a daze.

Liu Zhengheng saw that it was an old classmate, and he was happy in his heart, so he quickly stood up and said happily: "It turned out to be Brother Xianshi!" As soon as I stood up, I realized that I was no longer in the same class as others, and they were now the dignified governor of Zhejiang, a red man in front of Emperor Shenwu, and he was a criminal official who had surrendered many times. Thinking of this, Liu Zhengheng hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Lord Yu, the criminal officer Meng Lang!" ”

Yu Shilong was very happy when he saw Liu Zhengheng like this, thinking that he and Liu Zhengheng were in the middle at the same time, they were the second and third at the same time, and Liu Zhengheng looked at himself with his nostrils facing the sky. At that time, Liu Zhengheng was assigned to the Ministry of Officials to observe politics because of his good studies, and he could only go to the famous and tiring Ministry of Industry. Now seeing Liu Zhengheng so respectful to himself, all the hardships he suffered before have returned.

"Haha, Brother Fu Ding, please get up! Come on, give Governor Liu a seat! ”

There was a servant on the side who brought Liu Zhengheng a chair, but Liu Zhengheng didn't even dare to say it.

"Brother Fu Ding, sit down, let's have a good chat!"

Liu Zhengheng saw that Yu Shilong was very earnest and did not seem to be fake, so he slowly sat down.

"Lord Yu, I didn't expect that in thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, my lord and I have been in Beijing for more than ten years since Chongzhen's sixth year, and now we meet again!"

"Yes, what a beautiful situation our three hundred and forty-nine Jinshi were back then, but I didn't expect that it was only a little more than ten years, and it was just a matter of people, Brother Fu Ding, do you know what the other people were doing in the same year?"

"I know now that there is the champion Chen Yutai, who was framed and removed from office by Zhongguan Wang Kun in the eighth year of Chongzhen, and is now living in seclusion at home in Nanjing, as well as Wu Weiye, the talented son of Wu, who lives in seclusion at his home in Taicang. There are a few others who are officials in various places. However, the highest official position in our subject now belongs to you, my lord! ”

Hearing Liu Zhengheng flattering himself, Yu Shilong smiled slightly, and he asked himself about the situation in the same year, not because he wanted to catch up with Liu Zhengheng, but because he wanted to cultivate his own henchmen.

Yu Shilong is a native of Sichuan, and he came to Guangdong alone to be an official, and he has been doing well with various families in Guangdong for more than ten years, but the relationship is ordinary. In the past, Yu Shilong was a small official, and some battles in the court could not implicate him, but with Yu Shilong serving as the second-rank governor, he was also a high-ranking official, and he found that he was lonely in the court.

Now the court is divided into three factions, the most powerful is the Huguang faction, the second is the Guangdong faction, and the smallest is the Donglin party. And he Yu Shilong's party does not belong to it, if he is stubborn, he can be connected with Feng Ziyong, after all, they are all from Sichuan. And Yu Shilong did the same before, he has been an official under Feng Ziyong, when Feng Ziyong was the prefect, he was the same knowledge, Feng Ziyong was promoted to the political envoy, he was the prefect, Feng Ziyong became the governor of Guangdong, he was the political envoy, but now that Feng Ziyong has fallen, he found that he didn't have a thigh that he could hug in the court.

This is too dangerous.,Now the court is all team-up to brush copies.,Single-brush basically didn't end well.。 Even if there is a strong team, it is inevitable that it will be degraded, Huang Yingxiu of the Guangdong faction and Feng Ziyong of the Huguang faction are examples. So seeing the bloody storm in the court, Yu Shilong decided to form his own team.
