In the early morning, Jinling City had just ushered in the morning sun, the heavy city gate slowly opened, and the beggars and wanderers who leaned on the side of the city wall began to enter the city one after another. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the military department of Nan0 Beijing, has always loved the people, so he did not restrict these people who had no worries about food and clothing from entering the city to beg for food because His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao came to Nan 0 Beijing.

But the difference today is that these beggars or vagrants are not scattered to seek food, and some weavers who have worked in large households, and who have seen a certain amount of the world and may know a few words, are led by them towards Sanshan Street.

As I walked, I saw more and more people gathering from various squares and alleys, and the crowd increased from dozens to hundreds to thousands, or even tens of thousands.

When you cross Sanshan Street and arrive at the Huitong Bridge in the prosperous area of Nan0jing, you can see a large crowd of people coming from all sides of the north, and the direction of Jian'anfang and Taiping Bridge is already shoulder to shoulder.

These people are either full of indignation, or blank, or weeping; Most of them are ragged or short-clothed straw sandals, but if you look closely, you will find that there are also gangsters or slaves with fleshy faces, ordinary people with iron-wrapped wooden rods in their hands, and even those with hidden blades, and their eyes scan the shops or houses in the surrounding streets and alleys with a fierce light.

The officers and soldiers who passed by turned a blind eye to this, or did not take it seriously, and simply took a detour back when they saw a large number of people.

On the bridge, Chen Mingxia, under the escort of several house slaves, shouted loudly to the people in the market who came around:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the fathers and villagers of Yingtianfu, now the traitors of the court are in charge, poisoning the people's wealth, first opening a business to collect taxes to seize the people's profits, and then setting up the Royal Weaving Bureau to seize my Jiangnan weaving industry, countless workshops have been ruined because of this, millions of weavers have no food and clothing, and have to beg to sell their sons and daughters to survive;

And I, Dong Gong, is a man of the great avenue, who has always pitied the poor and the weak, and couldn't bear to see the people of Jiangnan displaced, so he took the opportunity of His Majesty's southern tour, Chen Jiangnan was in front of the emperor, who knew that the cabinet scholar Li Mingrui did not ask about the indiscriminate framing of Dong Gong for plotting misdeeds, and killed Dong Gong without authorization, this is the great hatred of my Jiangnan people, and the great wrong, if I don't kill Li Mingrui, a big traitor, we will continue to be in fire and water! ”

At the same time, on the new pontoon bridge in Jinling, Fang Dayou and Mao Bijiang also stood on the bridgehead, facing both sides of the bridge, and the people on both sides of the city under the bridge shouted:

"Get up early and be greedy for darkness, it is difficult to have a thatched hut; Eating porridge and eating chaff is difficult to wrap the hunger of the belly, this is why!

The reason for this is that the current dynasty is chaotic, corrupt officials are rampant, and there are traitorous ministers such as Qian Qianyi, Li Mingrui, and Lu Xiangsheng; eunuchs Cheng'en, Wei Zhongxian, etc., were pampered and arrogant, deceived the saints, corrupted the law, and seized people's wealth; My Jiangnan is a rich land in the world, the people don't know hunger, and the scholars don't know the hatred of the country and the family, but as soon as Wei Zhongxian came, my Jiangnan literati were scolded as dogs;

I, the people of Jiangnan, were also ridiculed for being selfish and shameless, but think about it, who made your family have to sell their houses and land to live in a small shack, and who made you get paid to drink flowers and wine on the Qinhuai River, but now you have to beg to live, they are all them! It is the royal weaving residence of the eunuchs, and it is the traitor Li Mingrui who killed Dong Gong! ”

Mao Bijiang was also busy shouting at this time: "Jiangnan scholars, now Your Majesty is in our Jinling City, let us go to meet Your Majesty in person like locking up corrupt officials to see Emperor Gao hundreds of years ago, let Your Majesty know our grievances, and let Your Majesty punish these traitors!"

At this time, Fang Dayou and the house slaves who ventured to open up the territory hurriedly echoed first, shouting slogans such as "Eradicate the traitors", "Kill Li Mingrui", "Return the innocence of Dong Gong", "Ban the Royal Weaving Bureau" and so on.

Suddenly, the unemployed people, who had been suppressed for a long time due to the intensification of social contradictions, also responded, shouting slogans, one by one, their blood was boiling, and they seemed to be really full of anger and needed to vent, their eyes were red, and their fists were clenched.

In the land of literati in the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Mingxia, Fang Dayou, Mao Bijiang and other literati already control the right to speak here, so it is very easy to incite the people's hatred of the government.

And the common people don't understand the specific stakes involved, their intuitive experience tells them that it is the government's expropriation that has caused them to be displaced now, and after listening to the logical demagogy of these literati, they feel that this is the case.

As a result, Li Mingrui and Wei Zhongxian were regarded as haters by the people, while Chen Mingxia and others seemed to have a supreme sense of accomplishment because of this, and they felt that they truly represented the people's hearts and the truth.

In this way, coupled with the effect of herd psychology, the whole crowd went crazy and turned into a mighty crowd 0 0 movement; Earth-shaking shouts began to sound on the main roads of the entire South 0 capital.

I don't know who taught it, but someone began to pull up a banner with black characters on a white background, which read, "Dong Gongqi is ashamed of his injustice, and not killing Li Mingrui is not enough to make the people angry" and other words.

With the rolling flow of people and the accumulation of class contradictions over the years, the people began to think that if they did not join, they would be traitors and eunuchs.

Gradually, some people who thought they were the truth began to persecute others to join in, and if they did not join, they would reproach or beat them.

Even, some people began to take advantage of this chaos to steal, or directly rushed into the store to rob, only saying that these were all run by corrupt officials.

Some shop merchants were so frightened that they wanted to close the shop immediately, but they were still rushed in by the angry crowd, or robbed or smashed, and it was a mess!

This scene is not only playing out in Jinling City.

Wang Siren has always been very famous in Shaoxing Mansion, and under his leadership, the students and even people of the entire Shaoxing Prefecture and County School began to gather in front of the government or county officials to cry out grievances, and even gradually the people joined in, and gradually evolved into an irrepressible movement.

Chen Jiru was unable to control the situation in Songjiang Mansion at this time, and he seemed to feel that someone was taking advantage of this matter to stir up trouble, but he couldn't stop, because he wanted to complain for Daming and his friend Dong Qichang.

Even in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and other places, sporadic student strikes and ordinary people surged onto the streets to block the occurrence of disturbances in the yamen.

As a result, vicious incidents such as theft, robbery, beatings, and murders, which had been common in various places before, began to become the norm.

A movement called "Grievance Crying" turned into a turmoil, where the yamen were blocked and some innocent small businessmen or ordinary people who just wanted to live in peace and stability were bullied.

It seems that in this night, the entire peaceful Jiangnan has changed.

No one knows whether this is a deliberate conspiracy for a long time, or whether it is really the result of the chaos of the dynasty and the long-standing grievances of the people, but it is true that Jiangnan, the richest Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty, is in chaos!

At this time, Dongchang and various yamen also began to pass the news into the Forbidden City, waiting for the ruling of Emperor Zhu Youxiao.
