When Wang Deren heard Jin Shenghuan mention Li Chengdong, he couldn't help but sigh. Li Chengdong is indeed extremely capable of fighting, the whole of Fujian was pacified by his own army, and he also captured the two emperors of the Ming Dynasty, one is Zhu Yujian, the Emperor of Longwu, and the other is Zhu Yujian, the Emperor of Shaowu, this is not an easy person to deal with. is Wang Deren, who feels that he is not ambiguous, but he is not sure that he can win against Li Chengdong.

"Big brother, what should I do then? Are we waiting to die in Nanchang? I think Zhang Dong and the two of them will not give up if they don't kill us! ”

"Of course you can't wait for death, I've asked Daoming to contact Guangdong to see if you can give us five thousand muskets, so that we can be sure to kill him for a while!"

Hearing that he could get the musket of the Ming army in Guangdong, Wang Deren was overjoyed, and Wang Deren suffered twice in front of the musket.

"Brother Xian, we can't be unprepared, let's quietly transfer the troops of Ruizhou and Fuzhou back, find a place outside Nanchang City to hide first, even if it doesn't work, we have soldiers in our hands to protect us and escape!"

Wang Deren nodded again and again, and said that he would do it after drinking. The two discussed some details and then went their separate ways.

Just when the two of them discussed the plan to hurt the heavens and reason, a small village ten miles outside Nanchang City, this small village is very ordinary, and the same as the small villages all over the south of the Yangtze River, but there is a tall archway at the entrance of the village, showing that it is different from other villages, and there are several big characters written on the archway. "In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, he was born as a Jinshi".

This is the Jinshi archway, in ancient times, a village out of a Jinshi, that is a great event of glory to the ancestors. And the Jinshi in this village is still very famous, it is Jiang Yueguang, who is known as the "Three Sages of Nanzhong" with Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu in later generations.

Jiang Yueguang, an anti-Qing official in the late Ming Dynasty, the word Juzhi, the number Yanji, the late number Xihu old man, and the new person in Nanchang, Jiangxi. In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, he was an official of the Chongzhen Dynasty and took charge of the Nanjing Hanlin Academy. When King Fu was a scholar of the Ministry of Worship and a scholar of the East Pavilion University, he was jealous of Ma Shiying and returned from begging. Later, Jin Shenghuan rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, and the army was defeated and died. This is the information recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, Jiang Yueguang was also an orthodox scholar at that time, and he had done his best for the country and the people.

At this time, Jiang Yueguang was idle at home, listening to the news of the defeat of the Ming army every day, and he was anxious. But because he was just a scholar, he was completely incapable of saving the country.

Just when Jiang Yueguang was angry, a dusty man came to Xihu Village, inquired about Jiang's residence, and rushed here.

This man came to the door of Jiang's mansion and stepped forward to call the door. Now that there was chaos outside, the concierge of the Jiang Mansion did not dare to open the door, and stepped forward to ask, "Who is outside!" ”

"Is it Master Jiang's home? I'm a servant of Master Jiang's old man, and I'm here to deliver him a letter! ”

The porter looked outside through the crack in the door and said, "You send the letter in through the crack in the door, I will give it to my lord, whether the door can be opened or not, my lord can only decide after reading the letter!" ”

After receiving the letter, the porter hurried in to report to the master.

Jiang Yueguang took the letter and looked at the cover, and there were a few words written on it, "Old Man Dongjian". Jiang Yueguang knew that the old man of Dongjian was Qian Qianyi's self-name, and only a few friends in the circle knew about it.

Jiang Yueguang studied under the Donglin boss Zou Yuanbiao, and he was a thorough Donglin Party, so he was naturally very familiar with Qian Qianyi of the Donglin Party. But unexpectedly, Nanjing was broken, and Qian Qianyi went to Beijing to serve as an official for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Jiang Yueguang swore at that time to cut off his robe with Qian Qianyi, and then returned to his hometown to live idlely, swearing that he would never be clear.

But Jiang Yueguang is such a scholar, and the Manchu Qing can let him go. Jiangxi Governor Zhang Yutian has come to invite many times, hoping that Jiang Yueguang will go out of the mountains to be an official, but Jiang Yueguang has refused with words, and in the end, Jiang Yueguang has no choice but to hide in the mountains.

Seeing Qian Qianyi's letter, Jiang Yueguang sneered in his heart, this Qian Qianyi, the water was too cold back then, do you still want me to be embarrassed with him?

"Go, tell the man I'm not at home, let him go!"

The porter went out to reply, but he didn't expect the servant to leave, and continued: "My master said, if Master Jiang doesn't see me, let me say it's from Guangdong!" ”

The porter had no choice but to pass the word again.

Jiang Yueguang heard that he came to Guangdong, Guangdong? Didn't he Qian Qianyi go to Beijing? Why did you go to Guangdong again. And isn't the king of Chu the emperor over there in Guangdong? What is he Qian Qianyi going to do?

Jiang Yueguang also knew something about Qian Qianyi's affair with Zhu Hongsan back then, Zhu Hongsan burned Qian Qianyi's book, and went to Changshu to kidnap his daughter afterwards, which made Qian Qianyi suffer a dumb loss.

Jiang Yueguang was very curious about what Qian Qianyi was doing in Guangdong, and after thinking for a while, he asked the porter to call the messenger in.

After the messenger entered the house, he saluted Jiang Yueguang and said: "Hello Master Jiang, I am Master Qian's family, my master is now in Guangdong, serving Emperor Shenwu, this time I came to bring a letter to Master Jiang!" ”

I didn't expect Qian Qianyi to go to Guangdong and serve his old enemies.

"What about faith? Show me! ”

The man took off his robe, took out a letter in the middle layer of his back, and handed it to Jiang Yueguang.

The letter was very short, and Jiang Yueguang read it quickly. After reading it, he said: "Since the brother of the recipient is invited, I will spell this old bone!" ”

It turned out that after the policy of recruiting Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren was set in the Guangzhou Imperial Palace, Qian Qianyi found that something was wrong when he went home, so Jin Shenghuan was pulled over by the Ma family, and he was completely thankless. Now the Donglin Party in Guangdong has no power, only three or two kittens who have fled, so that Qian Qianyi has no say in the government at all, and he has to ask the Guangdong faction when he was the queen last time.

Qian Qianyi thought for a long time that he still wanted to strengthen his strength, and he thought about who else could use the Donglin Party now. Huang Daozhou and Liu Zongzhou are dead, Gao Hongtu heard that he died of hunger strike in Hangzhou, and there is still Jiang Yueguang left in the Donglin boss. Back then, because he was jealous of Ma Shiying, he fabricated several charges against him, and Jiang Yueguang finally had no choice but to resign and go home. Now he should still be alive, it just so happens that his home is in Nanchang, Jiangxi, let him help Jin Shenghuan, so that this power is still in the hands of the Donglin Party.

Qian Qianyi thought about who else could help, the old ones were almost dead. There are a few young ones, but they were not good with Zhu Hong, who was still the king of Chu. But this is not a problem, His Majesty the Emperor is eloquent and strategic, and treating himself is an example. Back then, he attacked Zhu Hongsan in every possible way, and he was entrusted with a heavy task when he didn't go to Guangdong.

Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Jiang Yueguang, explaining that Jin Shenghuan in Nanchang might be anyway, and hoped that the brother would pull his brother in the face of the party * the country (the party is the Donglin Party, and the country is the Daming country). After finishing the incident, he wrote a letter to Hou Fangyu, Mao Xiang, Hou Fangyu, Fang Yizhi and other new generations of Donglin, explaining the situation to them, saying that he was now lonely and lonely, and he was bullied by the Chu Party and the Yue Party, and hoped that they could come to help him.

Jiang Yueguang also dislikes Zhu Hongsan very much, but now there is no way, the current emperor is already a chore, and Jiang Yueguang can only go out of the mountain to help Zhu Hongsan for the sake of his family and country. Of course, there is now a Guangxi Guiwang Zhu Youlang, but Guangxi has always been barren, and the population is not as large as that of Guangzhou, so it is completely impossible to rely on Guangxi to prosper the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Qian Qianyi explained in the letter that Zhu Hongsan, the king of Chu, was good at training, and in Ganzhou, the 10,000 new army of the king of Chu wiped out Jin Shenghuan's 100,000 army. It was precisely this that Jiang Yueguang decided to go out of the mountain to help Zhu Hongsan.

With his mind decided, Jiang Yueguang found his family, he has a son and two daughters, and his daughters are married in other places, and only his son and wife are currently around.

Looking at his son Jiang Huan, Jiang Yueguang said: "Huan'er, now that the country is in ruins, my father is deeply favored by the emperors of all generations, and I can't be single from the world at this time." Just now, my father's old friend sent a letter begging him to go out of the mountain, because my father didn't know whether he was going out this time, so you left Jiangxi with your family and your mother, went south to Guangdong, and went to invest money to receive it. If you don't die for your father's life, I will go to Guangdong to find you. If it is a parent ... Ay! You have to support your mother and educate your children well, you know? ”

Jiang Huan saw that his father had made up his mind, so he didn't dare to stop him, but just knelt down and cried bitterly.

Jiang Yueguang didn't care about his crying son, and said to the Qian family who sent the letter: "Your lord wants me to die with a letter, you take my family to Guangdong, let Qian Shou treat my family well, or I won't forgive him if he doesn't be a ghost!" ”

"Don't worry, Master Jiang, my master said that as long as you go south, you will be safe as long as you go south!"

Jiang Yueguang nodded, stood up and went out to Nanchang Mansion, he wanted to plot against Jin Shenghuan.

Jiang Yueguang is different from other Donglin parties, and his family has thousands of acres of fertile land. Jiang said that he was an honest official, with only three ancestral houses and several acres of thin fields, and naturally there were no horses at home, so he only rode a green donkey and rushed to Nanchang.

came to the door of Jin Shenghuan's mansion and reported that he was Jiang Yueguang and came to see General Jin. Jiang Yueguang's name was in Nanchang, and the porter who guarded the door didn't dare to delay, so he invited Jiang Yueguang to the porter to sit down, and he hurriedly rushed in to report that Jin Shenghuan knew.

Jin Shenghuan actually knew Jiang Yueguang, Jin Shenghuan used to be Zuo Liangyu's general. Zuo Liangyu and Hou Sui have that kind of inexplicable relationship, so Jin Shenghuan has a good relationship with these stinky old nines. When I first occupied Nanchang, I heard that the famous man Jiang Yueguang was in Nanchang, and he also went to the mansion to meet him. Later, Jiangxi Governor Zhang Yutian invited Jiang Yueguang to go out of the mountain many times but couldn't, and Jin Shenghuan also helped cover a few times, so he and Jiang Yueguang are old acquaintances.

When Jin Shenghuan heard that Jiang Yueguang was coming in the house, he was overjoyed and hurried out of the door.

"Mr. Jiang, how can you have time to come to my mansion, please!"

Jiang Yueguang smiled but did not answer, followed Jin Shenghuan to the mansion, and after the two sat down, the servant brought tea, and then went out.

Jin Shenghuan looked at no one in the room and asked, "Mr. Jiang can talk about it now, what is the matter with coming to me?" ”

Jiang Yueguang twisted his long beard and said with a smile: "I heard that the Shenwu Emperor of Guangdong is the king of Nanchang County, and the old man has come to beg for a drink!" ”
