On the same night that Wang Kefan left, Hu Dahai came to the home of Huang Shu, the imperial director of Huguang.

"Brother-in-law, Wang Kefan's kid is finally gone, thanks to you for bothering about this matter!" Hu Dahai sat down on the chair with a grin, gloating and proud.

"It's good to go. The thorn in the eye has already helped you, and I will give you a general when I go back, don't think about making money all day long, and it is the right thing to grasp the military power of the Gongyi Battalion in your hands as soon as possible. Huang Shu glared at Hu Dahai and said, "In the future, you will also grow up, that Wang Kefan is stable and introverted, and this alone is better than you......"

The patrol press imperial history is the eight-province patrol press made up in the opera, patrolling the hunt on behalf of the Son of Heaven with the position of seven products, responsible for assessing the rule of officials, the position is humble and powerful, Huang Shu himself is a cadre of the Donglin Party, and Zuo Liangyu has a good relationship, and the Chinese Wu Ao aid is innumerable, almost comparable to He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang.

(Strictly speaking, He Tengjiao is not a member of the Donglin Party, but he was born from Shi Kefa's appreciation, and Shi Kefa is a disciple of Zuo Guangdou, the leader of the Donglin Party, so he got into a relationship.) ）

"As long as you can rise step by step, brother-in-law, what is the use of the military power of the Gongyi Battalion? It's better to get some more silver. "One person has attained the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, Hu Dahai has just become the president of Qian with Huang Shu's shili, and he just wants to show his life's ambition and eat a few days of empty salary.

"Rats' eyes! In this world, the most important thing is to have military power in your hands. Can His Royal Highness King Fu Weishenme be the emperor? It's not that there are the general soldiers of the four towns in Jiangbei behind him, otherwise just with Ma Shiying's despicable villain, how can he be the opponent of my Donglin sages? ”

The fundamental reason for the defeat of the Donglin Party in the government and the opposition was that it did not have military power, although Zuo Liangyu had hundreds of thousands of troops, but he was far away in Huguang and could not intervene in the political struggle in Nanjing, and sat back and watched King Fu and the general army of the four towns join forces to seize the throne.

"Brother-in-law, Niu Zhongxiao is not difficult to deal with, but it is very troublesome to have Wang Kefan as his minion, if it wasn't for the troublemaker surnamed Wang last time, I would have ...... it a long time ago" Hu Dahai was still complaining, but Huang Shu interrupted him impatiently.

"Don't worry, Wang Kefan won't come back...... He only has a few hundred recruits under his command, and he is definitely not an opponent of the water bandits, even if he is lucky enough not to die in the battle formation, he can be convicted of defeat! ”

Huang Shu's status is noble, if it is simply for the face of his wife and brother Hu Dahai, he will not attack Wang Kefan, a small Qianzong. But when it comes to political struggle, it is necessary to take him down, even if it is to pay 800 well-equipped recruits of the Gongyi Battalion for this.

He Tengjiao, Niu Zhongxiao, and Du Yinxi ......, these are the only people who can protect Wang Kefan, and they are all busy dealing with Bai Wang's Dashun army, and they can't take care of Chongyang's side at all. Huang Shu is in power, it is not difficult to clean up Wang Kefan, the key is to do it beautifully, and do it without leaving a handle, no one can pick on it.

"Wang Kefan ......, Wang Kefan still has two hits, if he really wins this battle, it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future." Hu Dahai remembered the competition, and thought that he would be able to eat him nine times out of ten, but unexpectedly he had a blue nose and swollen face.

"Hmph, if you don't die, you will suffer from it, do you still need to say this truth?" Huang Shu suddenly smiled coldly: "I have already arranged the rest of the matter, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Hu Dahai showed a suddenly realized expression, it turned out that his brother-in-law was scheming and had a hidden trick!

……

The night was deep, and the Yangtze River was lapping against the riverbank.

A low trumpet came down the water, and the black fish that was napping suddenly opened its eyes, and leaned over the reef to see that there was a group of naked slender men, leaning forward almost parallel to the ground, half-crawling and half-walking in the river on the shore, struggling to drag several night boats on the river.

Blackfish's gaze paused for a moment on the slender man, and he stared intently at the night boats, most of his body was soaked in the river, and the waves seemed to become a reef, silently motionless.

A wave hit, and the black fish suddenly disappeared silently, and when it resurfaced the water, it was dozens of meters away, much closer to the night ships.

"Hey, hey......"

The monotonous trumpet is full of rhythm, and the figure of the black fish in the water is more and more smooth and light.

He was originally the son of a slender man, and he soaked in the Yangtze River since he was a child, which allowed him to practice a good water nature, and he could even nap and sleep in the river. But he had never seen his father, and he had a vague memory of his mother, and all that remained was a pair of shriveled Ru rooms, which had been calloused by the rope......

Silently parting the waves, the black fish got closer and closer to the night ships, and by the lanterns illuminated on the boats, he could already see the red flag of the Ming army on the bow of the ship. He stared at the target he had already chosen, took out a short knife and bit it in his mouth, and another fierce man plunged into the water, swimming like a fish to the bottom of the big boat in the lead.

Blackfish, whose parents died early, is a water thief, because he is black, has good water nature, and is as fierce as a blackfish, so he has such a nickname. After a long time, he has forgotten his real name.

Snakehead? That's a pretty good name! He feels that he is a black fish that eats meat, and he lives alone on the Yangtze River with his good water nature, and he will never starve to death in vain after working hard all his life like his parents.

Although these big ships are under the banner of the Ming army, they are the out-and-out prey in the eyes of the black fish, he has been a water thief for several years, and has dealt with the Ming army many times, even if it is a fully armed sailor, he is not afraid, not to mention these ordinary transport ships.

Take advantage of the night to sneak on the boat, steal if you can, grab if you can, and if you can cut off the heads of two officials by the way, it is also a good extra money. King Song Jiang and Song were at war with the Ming army, and the head of the Ming army was rewarded handsomely, as long as there was a waist card to prove his identity, he could exchange it for white silver.

……

After Wang Kefan left Wuchang Mansion by boat, the news came that Shi Kefa supervised Huaiyang, and after Wang Sheng, Zhou Guodong and others heard about it, they were all worried, and they were still discussing it in the middle of the night, and they didn't notice that there was a black figure outside the window.

"Qin Hui is inside, Li Gang is outside, the villain steals above the temple, and the country will not be a country!" Wang Sheng's face was extremely heavy, Shi Kefa is a representative of honesty and integrity, such a righteous man and gentleman failed to serve as the first assistant of the dynasty, but was squeezed out of the center of power, does the Ming Dynasty still have any hope of revival?

"Yes, King Fu is faint, and the Shi Pavilion Department has long had seven untenable theories - greed, lewdness, alcoholism, unfilial piety, abuse, not studying, interfering with the ......, and the faint king is in charge, this is the image of the country!" Zhou Guodong's face was flushed, his mood was excited and painful, and he had no scruples in front of his close friends, and even pointed the spearhead of the attack at the emperor who was about to ascend the throne.

Wang Kefan sat alone next to him, carefully studying a map, and did not participate in their discussion. This time the troops were sent too hastily, the enemy situation was unknown, the battle situation was unknown, the preparation was insufficient, and even this map was too sketchy, and there was a lot of homework to be done.

Huang Shu, the patrol of the imperial history, has hidden evil intentions, these eight hundred recruits are isolated and in danger, all these difficulties, how can Wang Kefan, who is a man of two lives, not see clearly.

Zhou Guodong didn't let him go: "Yuntai, why are you like a nobody, aren't you anxious for the Shi Pavilion Department?" ”

"We shouldn't be in a hurry about this, right?" Wang Kefan's eyes never left the map: "The Shi Pavilion Department is a clean official, and Ma Shiying is a corrupt official, but there is not much difference in their governing policies, and whoever is the first assistant is the same." ”

Shi Kefa is undoubtedly an honest and upright gentleman, and a national hero who died generously, but unfortunately, Shi Kefa is not a qualified politician.

After Shi Kefa became the supervisor, he always adhered to the policy of "borrowing the captives to pacify the Kou", fantasized about the Manchu Qing Dynasty, regarded the peasant army as a great enemy of life and death, and tried to follow the example of the Tang Dynasty to use Shatuo soldiers to quell the Huangchao Uprising, and did not even recognize the real enemy......

His policy of governing the country is exactly the same as that of the "eunuch party" Ma Shiying, and there is no cleverness.

"What Yuntai said is biased! The gentlemen go together, the villain flies into the court, who will assist the society and restore the country? Zhou Guodong's voice gradually increased, and he was very dissatisfied with Wang Kefan's attitude.

"The ability to govern the country and personal cultivation are two different things, and the gentleman and the villain are not simply black and white, everyone has two sides, and judging characters should be both meritocracy...... "Wang Kefan patiently explained.

Although the wording of these words was strange, Zhou Guodong also understood the meaning, and immediately retorted: "Yuntai's words are ridiculous! Virtuous is the foundation, can be the table, no sage is not upright, even if there is the ability to pass through the heavens and the earth, but it is just a disaster for the country and the people, and it is ...... not to be taken by my generation"

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the atmosphere was very extreme, and scholars and doctors infinitely elevated their moral cultivation as the only criterion for judging people, creating a large number of moral gendarmes who could only draw a clear line with "dissidents" and take pride in committing outrageous admonitions and moving the world. These human bodies are not distinguished, they only pay attention to discipline and not talent, and they talk about their hearts, and Zhou Guodong is also deeply affected.

Objectively speaking, Zhou Guodong's view is not unreasonable, but it is not simple and idealistic, and he does not have a sufficient understanding of the complexity of society. Wang Kefan had no intention of starting a big debate with this angry young man of the Ming Dynasty, so he only smiled and shook his head.

"When the first emperor ascended the throne, why did the country die in just 17 years?"

"This ......" Zhou Guodong was speechless when asked.

After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he swept away the eunuch party headed by Wei Zhongxian in one fell swoop, and the ministers in the court were all members of the Donglin Party, which was the so-called "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty" in the early years of Chongzhen. Unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty has been declining since then, and Emperor Chongzhen Zuihou has become the king of the fallen country, and the Donglin Party is difficult to blame.

"Okay, the Shi Pavilion Department has supervised Jiangbei, you and I are here to scold all night, what do you do? It's better to think about how to deal with Song Jiang. Wang Kefan turned his gaze back to the map, not giving Zhou Guodong a chance to continue arguing.

Some truths must be understood by yourself, no matter how much others say, it is useless, just click on him two sentences.

"But......" Zhou Guodong still wanted to argue, but suddenly there was an exclamation from outside the cabin, and there was the sound of running and fighting.

Several people's faces changed, and they all stood up together. ……
