XXXVII. Rebel Mei Guozhen

There is a good reason for that. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Ye Mengxiong said: "The Meijian army needs to know that this city wall is now in the hands of the rebels, and it will take the lives of my Ming soldiers every day, and if you don't quell the rebellion, the more time passes, the more variables there are, but the plan now is to quell the rebellion at all costs!" Only when the rebellion is quelled can we think about how to restore Ningxia, and if the rebellion is uneven, Ningxia is not in your hands. ”

Mei Guozhen nodded and said: "I also understand this truth, Your Majesty heard that the northwest won a big victory, and I am very happy, I hope that the army can quell the rebellion as soon as possible, if it is a long time, the greater Your Majesty's expectations, the greater the disappointment, then it is not beautiful, so it seems that you can only hope for this strategy, Xiao Zongbing, but you must not miss!" ”

"The last general will do his best."

Xiao Ruxun can only say this.

"Hmm." Mei Guozhen nodded slightly, and seemed to have a slight impression of Xiao Ruxun: "Back in the capital, Yang Gong married his beloved daughter to Xiao Zongbing, but there was more or less a little wind and rain, how many scholars are saying, how can there be such a reason to marry the daughter of a scholar to a rough man in the army, but today, Yang Gong's eyes are so vicious, he actually sees a famous general's talent!" Mr. Xiao, I heard, have you ever read? ”

"Exactly, when I was young, my father once asked a famous teacher to enlighten my brother to study, although I did not expect us to participate in the imperial examination to gain fame, but at least I hope that the four of my brothers are not martial artists, my father often said, Song Chen Fan Zhongyan once said to Di Qing, if you don't study, in the end you will only be a brave man, at most 100 enemies, read and understand the art of war, can be 10,000 enemies."

"How wise Ling Zun is!" Mei Guozhen couldn't help nodding: "Those rough men who don't know a few big words, it's good to be able to kill the enemy bravely, but more people are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" Every time I see it, I can't wait to cut it! Among the army, the nine-sided generals, such as Xiao Zongbing, who have the seniority of a famous general in the art of war all night, are rare! ”

Xiao Ruxun naturally did not deny such a fact, so he said: "What the supervising army said is true, but there are still many good generals available in the land of the nine sides, such as Datong Deputy Chief Soldier Ma Gui, who has a big picture and can see the fighter plane, and the last general will cooperate with it, and he is always like a fish in water, and Ningxia Deputy General Li Yun has recovered many fields, and he is also a good general, and Dong Yikui, Zhao Wu and others, are all good generals. ”

"Well, I believe that there are good generals, but there are too few." Mei Guozhen looked at Xiao Ruxun: "A person with the demeanor of a Confucian general like Xiao Zongbing is even rarer, if Xiao Zongbing makes great contributions this time, maybe he can be received and rewarded by His Majesty, and the future is immeasurable, at this time of national disaster, I still need to work hard!" ”

Xiao Ruxun clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general will not dare to slack off!" ”

"Hmm!" Mei Guozhen was quite satisfied: "I don't want there to be such a general in the northwest!" Wei Gongye can rest assured! ”

Wei Xuezeng and Ye Mengxiong looked at each other and smiled, and then, they changed their faces to sadness.

"I hated the thief, I persuaded people to surrender, and the thief threw my staff Mr. Liu into the oil pot and fried it! What a demoralization of our army! ”

Wei Xuezeng thought of the staff who had been bombed, and his heart ached.

"What?! And this kind of thing?! Mei Guozhen was shocked: "It's really hateful!" Lose your conscience! The barbarians are really the people who mess with my China! He shouldn't have been accepted in the first place! It's hateful that the king Chonggu coveted the courage of worship, so there is today! Do those Jin merchants really think that no one in the court knows about their collusion with the Mongols to smuggle weapons?! When I return to the court, I will definitely participate in them fiercely! ”

Mei Guozhen's indignant appearance looked at Wei Xuezeng and Ye Mengxiong for a while, they didn't want to, but they were powerless, the huge power of the Jin merchants was a foregone conclusion, how powerful Yan Song was back then, and he didn't dare to anger the Jin Shang faction, although there were capable people in the court who realized the traitorous actions of the Jin merchants, but they couldn't do anything.

Xiao Ruxun vaguely remembered that Mei Guozhen was a disciple of Yangming Xinxue, and he was friendly with Li Zhen, most people may not know Mei Guozhen, and they may not know anything about Li Zhen, but if "Book Burning" and "Book Collection" are mentioned, everyone will definitely remember the deviant old man in the late Ming Dynasty mentioned in the textbook.

Mei Guozhen not only read "Book Burning" and "Book Collection", but also wrote a preface to "Book Collection", as a person who agrees with such deviant thoughts, Mei Guozhen is not only sharp and invincible, but also quite good at kung fu, as far as Xiao Ruxun observes, Mei Guozhen's hair is black and shiny, and he is full of anger when he speaks, not as weak as ordinary scholars, he must be a practitioner, in fact.

Mei Guozhen is one of the few people in the group of scholars today who insist on the six arts of the gentleman, not only Jinshi, but also proficient in riding and archery, the last Ningxia city in the history of breaking Mei Guozhen also personally raised the sword into battle, the contradiction between him and Wei Xuezeng is mainly that Wei Xuezeng hopes to persuade to protect the city and people's livelihood, and Mei Guozhen is not used to Wei Xuezeng's shrinking appearance and forced intervention, and the two conflicted.

Wei Xuezeng was a keeper, and Mei Guozhen was a rebel.

At this time, Xiao Ruxun proposed another plan to reconcile the contradiction between the two, so that this contradiction did not happen.

As far as his heart is concerned, Xiao Ruxun still admires Mei Guozhen very much, and he also knows very well how the Jinshang Group has grown bigger step by step, and after discovering that the Mongols are not in the climate, he searched all over the world, and finally turned to the arms of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

These merchants became one of the main beneficiaries of the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and achieved the existence of the so-called Eight Great Imperial Merchants.

They began to support the students in their hometowns from supporting their hometowns to run schools, and with a large amount of capital investment and long-term persistence, they reciprocated the favor of many scholars and civil officials from Shanxi, and gradually formed a climate, and then went out of Shanxi, funded schools all over the country, and called a large number of scholars to inherit the love of Jin merchants, and weave their own relationship network step by step with marriage, friendship, partnership and other means of doing business, which became the general climate in the Zhengde and Jiajing era at the latest.

At that time, the Zhengde Eight Tigers were rampant in the world for several years, the powerful minister Yan Song cholera dynasty for decades, Gao Gong for several years to attack hard, Zhang Juzheng carried out reform for ten years, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian suppressed the world for several years, and the secret agents of Jinyi Weidong Factory were all over the world.

In this season, the spokesperson for the interests of Shanxi Jin merchants and Yangzhou salt merchants has forced the emperor to protest silently for decades.

The far-reaching vision, the deliberateness, the calmness of the action, and the viciousness of the people make people shudder, but it was actually the pinnacle means of combining officials and businessmen to seek benefits in that era, and using the words and officials to form a party to occupy the moral peak, but the disaster to the country and the people reached a heinous point.

If you want to save the Ming Dynasty, the merchants of the two places have to be removed, one is the Shanxi Jin merchants, the other is the Yangzhou salt merchants, if the two large merchants are not all removed, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to save, but the merchants of these two places are mostly strong gentry, they have long been aware of their own situation, relying on years of investment and persistence, and have supported a considerable number of speakers in the imperial court.

Basically, the entire Donglin Party was infiltrated and controlled by it, and almost achieved an invincible golden body, which was quite terrifying, and if it was to be dealt with by ordinary means, I am afraid that it would be difficult to succeed, not to mention his identity as a military attachΓ©, and his natural disadvantages made it difficult for him to move an inch at all, even if he was not dealing with this group of businessmen, the civil officials would not help him deal with the businessmen in these two places.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruxun couldn't help but be worried.

While continuing to dig tunnels, Xiao Ruxun is also thinking about the future path, and constantly planning, deducing various possibilities - once he lives again, he will definitely not waste God's favor.

And Bibai and Liu Dongyang in the city do not have Xiao Ruxun's long-term concerns, they are only worried about how to survive at the moment, their nerves are highly tense, and their tempers are extremely irritable, Wei Xuezeng sent people to divide them, which has made their nerves extremely tense, and they almost lost their minds before ordering to fry Wei Xuezeng's lobbyists, using tyrannical means to deter the Ming army, but also to deter those impure people in their own people - helpless, the disadvantages of the rebels are quite clear.

Bibai and Liu Dongyang know very well that if they surrender, those rebel soldiers may not die, but they, even if they don't die at that time, they will definitely have a good death in the future, after all, they killed a governor and a general soldier, and also occupied one of the nine sides, they have already committed the biggest taboo of the imperial court, it would be strange if the imperial court did not kill them, they know their situation very well, only by grabbing the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Ningxia City can they have a chance of life!

The hateful Xiao Ruxun and Ma Gui actually controlled the pass of the Great Wall, and at the last moment repelled their attempts to break out of the encirclement and bring reinforcements from the grassland, now they have been surrounded by the Ming army's large battalions, and the siege is impassable, the Ming army really can't get in, but they can't get out, 300,000 people in the city eat horses every day, although the grain can last for three months, but the thought of facing death in three months, the two feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
