Chapter 59: A Familiar Feeling

Ding Kuichu, the governor of Henan in the Chongzhen Dynasty, had a close friendship with Ma Shiying, and the Hongguang Dynasty was appointed as the governor of Liangguang.

Because the governor of Guangxi, Zhai Shiyun, was self-contained and did not buy Ding Kuichu's account, Ding Kuichu's main shili was in Guangdong, when Zhu Hengjia, the king of Jingjiang, was the emperor in disorder, Ding Kuichu first waited and watched, and saw that the feudal officials in various places did not support Zhu Hengjia, so he suddenly sent troops to arrest him and slapped Emperor Longwu's sycophants.

Ding Kuichu's biggest characteristic is greed, and he is a typical representative of corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty.

During his reign in Guangdong, the official positions of the yamen in various places were clearly marked, and as long as there was silver, he could buy an official position, and his supervision battalion was stationed in Zhaoqing for a long time, specializing in digging the old pit stones of Duanyan there, making and selling them for huge profits.

In real history, after Boluo captured Fujian, he sent Li Chengdong to attack Guangdong, Ding Kuichu fled in a hurry with a large amount of property, and sent Li Chengdong a heavy gift, asking to surrender to the Qing army...... Li Chengdong accepted the gift with a smile, and then killed him directly, and put all his family property into his own pocket, totaling 840,000 taels of silver, and countless other gold jewelry.

He Tengjiao is unbearable, at least he is an anti-Qing martyr, but Ding Kuichu is a super moth in Nanming, and he will surrender and betray at any time and sell Guangdong to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Wang Kefan wants to take him first.

When Ding Kuichu fled, he carried no less than one million taels of property, and there must have been some real estate in Guangzhou, so if he was taken down, he would have the start-up capital to run Liangguang.

It is not a trivial matter to take out the dignified governor of Liangguang, Emperor Longwu did not express his position for the time being, Wang Kefan left him time to think about it, and retreated to the Gongyi camp......

After returning to the barracks, Wang Kefan unexpectedly met Seal Ji.

Seal Ji and Li Si went to the barracks to find him, and waited for a long time after they were in the air. Li Siyou left beforehand, but Zhu Ji was still waiting.

"Going for a walk?" Wang Kefan got rid of Emperor Longwu, and he hadn't calmed down from his excitement yet, and he didn't want to go back to the military tent to talk.

"Okay." Tsukihime happily agreed.

The two of them left the barracks, and Li Yushi followed behind with a few personal soldiers, walking slowly along the stone street.

No one spoke.

What Wang Kefan did was too big, and he had to hold back any pride and distress in his stomach, and he couldn't say it to anyone, but thinking of the pride of today's confrontation with Emperor Longwu, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

Tsukihime glanced at him. He didn't speak obediently, just followed him, strolling around the streets of Ruijin.

"Miss Seal Ji, can you tell me about Ding Kuichu?"

"Ding Junmen? We have dealt with each other a lot, and we have given you a hundred thousand taels of silver. He has a share of ......."

Seal Ji and Li Si are fishing for the wrong door, and it is Ding Kuichu who is leaning on them. Very knowledgeable about his situation. Since Wang Kefan asked, she kept babbling, and even said some more secret things.

"General Wang, what are you doing inquiring about Ding Junmen?" Tsujime suddenly realized that she was talking too much.

"It's just curiosity, nothing." Wang Kefan smiled. Pointing to a rice noodle stall in front of him, he said, "If you're hungry or not, I'll treat you." ”

"Okay!"

The two of them sat down on the stall and asked the boss for two bowls of rice noodles, and the boss was startled by them. A military general took a beautiful woman to his street stall to eat rice noodles, which is not a common thing.

The boss gave two cups of rice wine for free, and Wang Kefan and Zhan Ji touched one, well, it tasted good!

Try the rice noodles again, the taste is very average.

But Wang Kefan and Zhu Ji didn't say anything, and ate the rice noodles cleanly, as if they were delicious food.

Stand up and leave, Li Yushi will come up and make money.

Walking along the stone street, looking at the pedestrians passing by on the street, Wang Kefan suddenly had a familiar feeling. He had never been to Ruijin in his previous life, but he had been to many other cities, and every time he went to an unfamiliar city, he would always have a sense of relaxation when he saw the busy daily life of the locals.

can't help but think of his wife in the old time and space, when Wang Kefan and her started dating, they also ate roadside stalls together, or watched a boring movie, but both of them felt very happy, even if there was nothing to do, they couldn't help but smile.

Wang Kefan turned his face and saw a pair of crystal clear eyes of Zhu Ji, the corners of his eyes were crooked, the corners of his mouth were curled, he didn't know Weishenme, and there was still a smile on his face......

……

Ruijin was temporarily walking inside, and Emperor Longwu was talking to Guo Weijing.

"In Mr. Yunji's opinion, Ding Kuichu can be reused?" Emperor Longwu's face was expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Weichen thinks that Ding Kuichu is corrupt and self-righteous, and he can't be reused." Guo Weijing knew very well that Ding Kuichu, like other feudal officials, was not a loyal minister.

Although Ding Kuichu expressed his support for Emperor Longwu in public, he actually had his own small abacus, taking Guangdong as his forbidden territory and not allowing others to touch it. A few days ago, Emperor Longwu sent Su Guansheng, a scholar, to Guangzhou to strengthen his control over Guangdong, but he was seriously squeezed out by Ding Kuichu and never opened up the situation.

"I intend to move to Guangzhou, what does Mr. Yunji think?" Emperor Longwu asked again.

"I don't think it's appropriate."

Guo Weijing thought about it for a while and raised an objection: "Bixia left Fujian alone, the prestige of the imperial court was completely lost, and if he moved to Guangzhou rashly, he was afraid that he would be ......controlled by others."

Emperor Longwu was a fugitive emperor, and the commander of the light pole ran to Guangzhou, and it is difficult to say what Ding Kuichu would do.

Taking a step back, even if Ding Kuichu and Zheng Zhilong are different, there are few available people under Emperor Longwu, and if the imperial court is reopened in Guangzhou, it will inevitably use a large number of Guangdong officials, and these people will definitely pose a threat to the imperial power in their own way.

"I can't go to Guangzhou, where should I go?" Emperor Longwu asked again.

"Weichen thinks that Bixia should go to northern Guangdong, temporarily set up a court in Nanxiong Mansion, stabilize the hearts of the people in the world, gather soldiers and horses from all provinces, and fight to the death with the Manchu Qing in Ganzhou......"

Whether it is Ding Kuichu, Zhai Shiyun or He Tengjiao, it is not appropriate for you to go to anyone, it is best to go to Nanxiong Mansion at the junction of Jiangxi and Guangdong, first put up the banner of the Ming court, and then win the battle of Ganzhou, re-establish the prestige of the court, and then deal with those feudal officials.

"Okay, you go out first, I'll think about it later......" Emperor Longwu sent Guo Weijing away.

There are pros and cons to taking out Ding Kuichu.

Ding Kuichu is the governor of Liangguang, and taking him down will cause a violent shock in the officialdom.

But Ding Kuichu is known for corruption, and taking him out can solve the financial problem, and more importantly, after removing Ding Kuichu, Emperor Longwu will not have to send people to the fence and can really control Guangdong. (To be continued......)
