Chapter 170: Standing in line
Through Xu Nannan's deeds, the Chu army established the image of a division that loves the people, and the officers and men of the three armies share the same hatred for the enemy, and the cohesion is further enhanced. Through Deng Bin's case, Wang Kefan dealt a blow to the arrogance of civilian officials, and no one objected to the killing of those hundreds of Qing prisoners.
Hundreds of heads fell to the ground, in front of the memorial to form a Beijing temple, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians saluted again, to pay tribute to the heroes, this grand and solemn ceremony finally ended at the climax.
In this conflict, Wang Kefan's attitude was even tougher, and he began to deal a substantial blow to the civilian clique, cutting off the generals who supported the Donglin Party, Deng Bin's case continued to ferment, as long as the case was not closed for a day, Wan Yuan Ji would not be able to sleep for a day...... The civil officials suddenly discovered that when Wang Kefan's methods became more and more tough, they had no power to fight back.
The only hope is the pen-and-ink lawsuit surrounding Wang Kefan's two articles.
Every word of the big man is not nonsense.
The article is not just a random scribble.
When Tingzhou rescued the driver, Emperor Longwu was a fugitive emperor who had just escaped, and Wang Kefan was also an inconspicuous little warlord, and the negotiations between the two were straight to the point, and the two families supported each other and developed together, and in just a few years, they had the strength to compete with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Looking back suddenly, the two of them have become big shots, and they communicate less and less with each other, but more about forbearance, and the estrangement buried in their hearts is more and more, and they will inevitably explode after accumulating to a certain extent.
Emperor Longwu didn't say hello and made a move directly.
Wang Kefan was also prepared, and he saw the move.
A tacit understanding.
The two of them have more concerns now, and many words can't be said as directly as they did at the beginning, and the way of negotiation has become very complicated, you write a tribute to Zhu Yuanzhang, I will write two articles about the War of Resistance against the Qing Dynasty, and the article shows his own views, and vaguely expounds the demands behind it, in Chinese history, this kind of struggle like a dumb riddle is the norm in political life, Wang Kefan's camp is getting bigger and bigger, and it is impossible to completely maintain the unity of internal thoughts, so you have to abide by the rules of the game.
What problem is Emperor Longwu emphasing, why does Wang Kefan want to emphasize that issue, if you can't understand it, you are not qualified to participate in the game.
After the outbreak of the conflict between Emperor Longwu and Wang Kefan, those who are qualified to participate in the game are faced with a question of how to express their attitude, no one can escape, you know, silence is also a very clear attitude.
Around Wang Kefan's two articles, a fierce debate immediately began, first the small characters charged ahead, and the heavyweights immediately made their views clear one after another, either for support or against, whether it is very resolute support and opposition, or limited conditional support and opposition, we must make our attitude clear, the grass on the wall and the two-faced are the most unpopular, in this kind of bayonet when the red is seen, in addition to Jin Shenghuan, a powerful faction has the qualification to continue to wait and see, and the general gods and ghosts must stand in line.
Jin Shenghuan is like Yan Xishan during the Republic of China, his strength has reached a certain level, and he can sit firmly in Diaoyutai in the Northern Expedition and the Central Plains War, waiting for the price to sell, he continues to be in the filial piety of the table, making a dilemma, has not made a clear statement, people who do not know the inside story see this, often think that he is a person who lacks courage, but ignore that he holds tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and the corners of his mouth show a confident smile...... In other words, Jin Shenghuan already has the qualifications to sit in the bank, not an insignificant wall grass, although compared with Emperor Longwu and Wang Kefan, it is not a strong village, but it has also entered this level, much more calm than those small players who can only bet with the bank, for him, now hurriedly jumping out to stand in line can not get any benefits, and it is impossible to really get the trust of any party, it is better to wait and watch the development of the shape, wait until this dragon and tiger fight is divided, and then join the winner's side to beat the water dogs, but can achieve greater benefits.
If you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, you must at least be a leopard, and the other beasts must stand in line, except for Jin Shenghuan, everyone else has shown their attitudes one after another. If Wu Xun does not count the Chu army, it is basically half open, and the generals under the command of Tang Laihe and Wan Yuan Ji are of course the only ones who look forward, but some generals such as Zheng Chenggong, Jiao Lian, and Bu Congshan clearly support Wang Kefan...... This result, Tang Laihe thinks it is acceptable, this time after all, it is the Wuxun and the warlord group that have been suppressed, and it is normal for the generals to have some backlash, and in the future, let Emperor Longwu appease Zheng Chenggong, who is the strongest, and it will naturally be calm.
However, the appearance of the civil official made him unacceptable, and even a little angry. In addition to Wu Yipin, Fu Dingquan, as a feudal official, even publicly expressed his support for Wang Kefan, and basically had a positive attitude towards those two articles, but there were only two different opinions on the details...... Jiangnan has not been completely recovered, civil officials in the three provinces of Jiangnan have not yet gained a firm foothold, in addition to the surrender of the surrender of the officials, there are not many civil officials really sent by the Longwu court, Jiangxi is close at hand to Jiangxi, the "mutiny" of Jiangxi governor Fu Dingquan, suddenly disrupted the position of the civil alliance, about thirty percent of the civil officials fell to the side of the Chu army, to Wang Kefan to express different Cheng dù support, including many five to three local dignitaries.
Originally thought that the monolithic civilian-official alliance was so fragile, Tang Laihe and Wan Yuan Ji were greatly disappointed, and they had to re-examine Wang Kefan's influence and re-judge the shape in front of them. Obviously, it is too simplistic to regard Wang Kefan only as a self-respecting martial artist, there is a huge force behind him, not only military generals and troops, but also many supporters and sympathizers among civilian officials, in the past few years, the tentacles of the Chuxun group have silently extended into all corners of the Longwu Imperial Court, usually inconspicuous, and when there is a real conflict, these people will stand on Wang Kefan's side.
"These people are Ma Shiying! It's all Ruan Dacheng! They should all be punished for their crimes! Wan Ji hated it.
Since the Hongguang Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the status of the warlords has continued to rise, and many civil officials have begun to form alliances with them, the most famous of which is Ma Shiying, so he was regarded as the scum of Shilin by other civil officials, and he used various methods to smear him, and his reputation was infamous...... Today's Chu army is much stronger than the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River back then, and it is not surprising that many civil officials who surrendered took the initiative to move closer to Wang Kefan.
"Alas, the wind knows the grass, the board knows the sincere ministers, and the loyal people who are truly righteous are a few after all." Tang Laihe stood in front of the window, his fingers lightly tapped on the window lattice, his face was haggard and worried, and his brows were incomprehensible, although there were many civil officials who defected, but most of the civil officials were still on the emperor's side, and the situation was not out of control, what really gave him a headache was the attitude of those Jiangnan gentry.
Probably because of the reason why the unofficial body is light, the Jiangnan gentry's awe of the Longwu court is not too strong, the Longwu court is far away in Guilin, three thousand miles away, but the strong Chu army is close at hand, and every move may affect their net worth, so many Jiangnan gentry also fell to Wang Kefan's side, although they did not dare to directly argue with the Longwu court, but secretly and Chu Jun eyebrows, for Wang Kefan's two articles, the Jiangnan gentry represented by Qian Qianyi collectively lost their voices, Except for a few insignificant people who jumped out and screamed twice, most of them remained silent.
This kind of result, Tang Laihe did not expect in advance.
Jiangnan is the stronghold of the Donglin Party, and Qian Qianyi used to be the leader of the Donglin Party, and they chose to remain silent at such a critical moment, in a sense, they have already expressed their support for Wang Kefan. In order to save the situation, Tang Laihe deliberately went to see Qian Qianyi, and wanted to force him to express his opposition to Wang Kefan, but Qian Qianyi politely declined, and persuaded Tang Laihe to reconcile with Wang Kefan in and out of words, so as not to destroy Gancheng and make Jiangnan fall under the iron hooves of the Tartars.
The people's hope!
The Jiangnan gentry have tasted the brutal rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they never want to suffer the second stubble again, so they can only pin their hopes to protect them on the Chu army, on one side is the Chu army with a bright knife, and on the other hand, the Tiangao Emperor is far away Emperor Longwu, who should be supported? The reason why the Jiangnan gentry collectively lost their voices was just that they didn't want to be the first birds, but in fact, most of them were biased towards Wang Kefan.
Of course, there are also some people who maintain the integrity of scholars and follow the ethics of feudal etiquette and stand on the side of Emperor Longwu, but this kind of people have almost been killed by the Manchus, or have long since run to Guilin, and the Jiangnan gentry who are still alive have all surrendered to the Manchus, and have been enduring humiliation and secretly born all these years, how could they suddenly change their temperament and become a defender who does not care about a qiē? Therefore, among the Jiangnan gentry who clearly supported Emperor Longwu, there were only a few speculators with some kind of intentions, and there were fewer than pandas who really regarded feudal etiquette as life.
The situation is so complicated that it is already in danger of getting out of control, and as soon as Wang Kefan's two articles came out, the two sides were equal to the size of the showdown, and Emperor Longwu and the civil official group obviously lost.
If Wang Kefan's means only stop at this, the civil official group headed by the Donglin Party is not afraid, the war of words and the war of the pen are their strengths, and they really can't argue that the other party can still find death and life. Although Wang Kefan got a big name, the civil official group can not admit defeat, and then use other means to fight back, since you won this game, then change it to three games and two wins, if you win again, and then change it to five games and three wins, seven games and four wins, etc., sooner or later the situation will be reversed......
