In the past two years, Gu Yanwu has mainly been active in Shaanxi and Shanxi, and as a native of Suzhou, he has traveled thousands of miles to the north, in addition to engaging in "underground work" to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, but also to avoid trouble.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty has not yet sat firmly in the country, and the bloody literary prison of the Kang Yongqian period has not yet begun, and the Han gentry are mainly courted by Huairou. Especially in the Jiangnan region, the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not solid, as long as the Han gentry did not directly oppose the Qing, wrote articles to scold their mothers or something, and even secretly funded the anti-Qing righteous teachers like Qian Qianyi, the Manchu government generally did not care...... I can't control it if I want to.

But Gu Yanwu is different, he is a real man, he planned and participated in armed riots several times, so he was blacklisted by the Manchu local government and wanted in Jiangnan Province (Nanzhili), so he went to Shaanxi.

When Gu Yanwu went to Shaanxi, it was the most severe time to resist the Qing form. Most of Jiangxi, Fujian, Huguang, and Sichuan fell, and the Longwu regime was left with only three provinces, Liangguang and Guizhou, and Yunnan was also occupied by the Great Western Army, and it was about to be unable to support it......

It seems that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has already won, and it will take another three or two years at most to destroy the rebel forces such as Longwu, King Lu, and the Great Western Army one by one.

The chest is full of grief and indignation, depression and disappointment, and there is a deep helplessness that is "as expected".

Regarding the various ills of Da Ming, Gu Yanwu saw it very clearly.

The Ming Dynasty is like an old and decrepit lion, and the glory of the former king has become an eternal past. Inevitably led to death, and finally fell to the ground...... Not far away, a hyena named Manchu Qing took the opportunity to rush up. Gulping down carrion, and triumphantly, he claimed to have defeated the lion.

In fact, the Manchus just picked up a bargain.

The Ming Dynasty was terminally ill and could not be cured.

It's the same with Nanming.

Although Zhu Yujian, Emperor Longwu, was diligent, he also had the ambition to make great efforts to govern the country and prosper the Ming Dynasty. However, his identity is inherently short, and he also has obvious flaws in personality and ability, which is still too far from the king of Zhongxing. Nanming at the moment. There must be an emperor who is eloquent and full of courage, like the ancient emperor of Han Guangwu Liu Xiu, in order to redeem the form.

But it's clear. Emperor Longwu is not Liu Xiu. The ability and courage were not enough, so he lost Fujian in an uproar, fled to Guangzhou alone, and was almost caught by the Qing army.

Then there seemed to be a turning point, the Ming army defeated Jin Shenghuan in Ganzhou, and Gu Yanwu also had a brief period of euphoria, but as Kong Youde moved south, Huguang and eastern Guizhou fell one after another. The little hope that had just been ignited was extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

"The Ming army still can't do it. and Jin Shenghuan's green battalion can still fight, and when they encounter the Eight Banners, they will be defeated. Da Ming, after all, is going to die in the country! Gu Yanwu was grief-stricken and indignant.

If the Manchu Qing were replaced by Li Chuang, Gu Yanwu might have given up resistance. If Li Chuang becomes the emperor, it is nothing more than a change of dynasty, the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, but it was the land of Shenzhou that sank, and the chaos of Yidi was ruined, and the world was destroyed!

("The surname of Yi was changed, and it was called the death of the country.") Benevolence and righteousness are full, and as for leading beasts to eat people, people will eat each other, which is called the death of the world...... To protect the world, the cheapness and responsibility of the husband are deaf. - Gu Yanwu, "Daily Knowledge")

The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband!

Gu Yanwu did not go to Liangguang, but chose a more difficult road, went north to Shaanxi, and threw himself into the local anti-Qing struggle. More than 100,000 righteous teachers will attack Xi'an, and the world will be shaken for a while, but unfortunately, under the joint efforts of Wu Sangui and Meng Qiaofang, the Shaanxi righteous teachers finally failed.

In the Longwu Imperial Court, he was no longer hopeful.

As for the name Wang Kefan, he had heard it several times, but he didn't care. In the turbulent times, the wind and clouds are surging, the waves are sweeping the sand, and all kinds of characters appear like marquees, or they can be stormy for a while, and often disappear in the blink of an eye.

"It's just a military leader, and if he happens to make a contribution to save the driver, he will rise to the top, and he will be the same character as the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River after all." Gu Yanwu has seen with his own eyes how arrogant and domineering the four towns in Jiangnan were at the beginning, the warlords countered the imperial court and exhausted the money and grain in Jiangnan, and when the Qing army went south, they all surrendered, turned around and aimed the butcher's knife at the people.

Sure enough, it only took Kong Youde two or three months to occupy the entire territory of Huguang, and I don't know where Wang Kefan is.

Next, Jiang Hao raised troops against the Qing Dynasty, Gu Yanwu ran around Shanxi, and when he was busy, he could occasionally hear the news from the south.

It's all good news, Jiangxi Jin Shenghuan anyway, the Ming army won the vast victory of Hu, Dorobelle Lekedehun and Huaishun King Geng Zhongming were killed one after another, the Qing army withdrew from southern Sichuan, and the Great Western Army returned to the Southern Ming Dynasty...... In just a few months, Nanming's territory doubled, driving the Qing army back to the Yangtze River, and destroying more than 100,000 horses on the other side.

Gu Yanwu couldn't sit still, and wanted to go back to the south to have a look.

What is the Longwu Imperial Court like now? Why was it possible to launch such a Jedi counterattack?

With Jiang Jiu's trust, he and Wang Fuchen returned to Jiangxi, and heard a lot of more detailed news along the way, in which Wang Kefan's name appeared again and again.

I heard that Wang Kefan is the first hero of Hu Guangjie.

I heard that the Chu army was the main force to eliminate Luckedhun.

I heard that Chu Xun was the key to the change in the Longwu court.

I heard that Huguang is different from other places.

I heard that the Chu army is also very different from other officers and soldiers.

I heard that Wang Kefan himself is even more special.

……

Gu Yanwu became interested and wanted to see Chu Jun and Wang Kefan.

Immediately after that, news came that the Chu army won another big victory, relieved the siege of Nanchang, and drove Tan Tai back to Jiujiang.

Be sure to check it out!

Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi deliberately disembarked at Ji'an Mansion and asked to see Wang Kefan.

Unexpectedly, Wang Kefan suddenly turned his face and forced everyone to go to Huguang together, Gu Yanwu didn't say anything on the surface, but he was very angry in his heart. But with the novelty of what he saw and heard along the way, and with the deepening of understanding, the little unhappiness at the beginning has long been forgotten.

Huguang, Chu Jun, and Wang Kefan all gave him a new feeling, at least within the scope of Gu Yanwu's cognition, the Ming Dynasty had never had such an army, such a local administration, and such a feudal official. Many things that can only be done in the imagination have become a reality in Huguang and Chu Jun.

If ten years ago, the Ming Dynasty had such an army, such a local administration, and an official like Wang Kefan in charge, it would never have fallen to the point of destroying the country!

"God sends good talents to save the Han family......"

After going around Jiangxi and Huguang, Gu Yanwu was sure that the Southern Ming Dynasty could save the defeat, and most of the reasons would fall on Wang Kefan.

"Those who protect the country, those who eat meat, protect the world, and it is the responsibility of the husband." Gu Yanwu didn't have too much foolish loyalty to the monarchy, but he spared no effort to save the Han family, and in the depths of his heart, an extremely bold idea suddenly flashed, perhaps, Wang Kefan is the real Han Guangwu Liu Xiu......

Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about in the heart, and it is far from the time. Besides, choosing a master is like choosing a wife, before he really understands the other party, Gu Yanwu will not bow down lightly.

But he has already made up his mind that in order to resist the great cause of the Qing Dynasty, no matter what, he must do something for Wang Kefan.

As a wise scholar, Gu Yanwu is very clear about what he is good at, scholar-type people are often good at planning, but specific implementation is weak. After repeated observation and thinking, he decided to give Wang Kefan a few suggestions to help him steer the rudder in the general direction.

"Emulate feudalism" is his first construction, which also contains the meaning of temptation.

However, Wang Kefan's response was lukewarm, and he neither objected nor agreed.

"The medicine is not right!" Gu Yanwu knew that something must be wrong.

What is the Longwu Imperial Court like, you don't need to look at it to know, there must be many drawbacks. Huguang won greater local power, and it was more advantageous to fight against the Qing Dynasty, but Wang Kefan seemed to have some scruples.

"Then let's go to Guilin and have a look, it's not far anyway." Gu Yanwu made up his mind and stopped discussing those sensitive topics with Wang Kefan, since he was ready to help him, he would make some more observations and find a better way.

Even so, other topics discussed between him and Wang Kefan have also gone deeper, just like a man and a woman piercing that layer of window paper, there has been a sincere exchange between men, and as long as they get through the subsequent awkward period, the relationship will go further.

On the way from Quanzhou to Guilin, after Wang Kefan's introduction, he had a better understanding of the internal situation in the imperial court, including the turmoil that had just occurred.

During the conversation, he finally understood Wang Kefan's scruples, in fact, the reason is very simple - compared with the Manchu Qing, Nanming is still on the weak side, and if there is no internal unity, it will definitely not be able to confront the Manchus.

"There is only one province in Huguang, even if you add half of Jiangxi, there is only one and a half provinces in total, no matter how good it is, it is impossible to defeat the Manchus alone. If I force 'feudalism', I will have to fight against the Manchus in the front, and my own family will still make trouble in the back, which is self-defeating! ”

Wang Kefan's words, Gu Yanwu did not refute. Nanming is a game of chess, and the entire great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty is a game of chess, and he only mentions "imitating feudalism", which is indeed a bit inappropriate.

Since the chess game is very large, it is necessary to reconsider the layout, Gu Yanwu continued to observe and continue to think.

Two days later, the ship arrived in Lingchuan County, only forty miles from Guilin, Wang Kefan ordered the ship to stop at Lingchuan, sent an envoy to the imperial court to report, and waited for Emperor Longwu to summon him.

is so solemn, Wang Kefan did it intentionally.

This time I came back, I wanted to see the red with a bayonet, and before going to the battlefield, I paused for a moment, and then went in with all my might. (To be continued......)
