Chapter 117: The Current Situation

"Lord Prefect, should we go and see, maybe there are any surprises!"

A clerk cautiously said to Li Qingshu.

I have also heard about Gao Zhong's ZQ Mansion here, after all, the huge ZQ Mansion has become a pity that there are few people every year, although it seems that there are more in SC Province, but it is already very good to have two or three people in a year.

Now there is another genius, which naturally attracts the attention of many people.

"No, let's go back and prepare for the next round of exams!"

Li Qingshu waved his hand slightly, but a face-to-face with Gao Zhong had already given him his own opinion of Gao Zhong, so he was not ready to look at Gao Zhong's article closely, and turned to leave with a sigh.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Gao Zhong continued to participate in the college examination in the bamboo house, waving the brush in his hand and writing articles like all students.

And at this moment, many big things are happening in the world.

Since the beginning of the first month of this year, Chongzhen has begun his drastic reforms, and decreed that Wei Zhongxian's counter-case will be listed, and Wei Zhongxian's party members will be listed on it for the purpose of "praising and guiding", "supporting", "praising beauty", and "obfuscation". In March, Han Yi and others played a reverse case, and Chongzhen personally ruled it. Since the death of Wei Zhongxian and Ke Shi, the rest were convicted in the sixth degree. Cui Chengxiu and others were beheaded for the crime of "first conspiracy"; Liu Zhixuan and others were beheaded for the crime of "befriending close servants", and they were executed after the autumn; Wei Guangwei and other eleven people and Wei Zhide and other thirty-five people were all filled into the army, and the crime of "flattery and support", and the eunuch Li Shi and others were charged with the crime of "befriending close servants and inferior", and they were all filled with the army; Gu Bingqian and 129 others were convicted of "befriending close servants and reducing the like", and they were imprisoned for three years and redeemed for the people; Huang Liji and 44 others were dismissed from their posts and idle.

Since then, the eunuch party dominated by Wei Zhongxian has fallen, and the "clear stream" of Donglin has begun to flourish.

In the same year, the Governor General in Taiwan sent warships to attack the port of Tamsui, but was defeated by the resistance of the Spanish army.

In the inland, the rebel leaders Wang Er and Wang Daliang lived and died in the encirclement and suppression of the official army, but the rebels relied on the great drought and the displaced people continued to develop, among which the banner of King Gao Yingxiang began to become louder and louder, and at the same time, the drought in Yan'an Province was becoming more and more serious......

The devastated Ming Dynasty had now reached a time of great crisis, and its most dangerous enemy, Hou Jin, bared its sharp fangs outside the pass.

After two years of manipulation, Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty finally eliminated everything that threatened his rule and firmly held power in his own hands. In response to the social contradictions during the Nurhachi period, a series of reforms were carried out, and the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Army were continuously improved and expanded, and the Imperial Court was established to govern the affairs of Mongolia and other places. The name of the "Jurchen" clan was changed to "Manchuria". In order to avoid this line of defense, Huang Taiji entered the Han land several times to burn and loot, first stabilizing the base area. Subsequently, it successfully subdued the Mongol Chahar tribe in the west and the Korean in the east.

And his next step is naturally the dying Ming Dynasty!

"Damn, it's this Mao Wenlong again, every time he attacks my rear, I have nothing to do with a small Phi Island!"

Huang Taiji looked at the military report in front of him and reddened, patted the table and said.

"Brother Huang, don't worry, we can naturally take down just one Phi Island!"

It was an internal meeting, and in addition to Huang Taiji, it was his brother and the Eight Banners, and it was Dolgon, the eighteen-year-old White Banner Lord, who was now speaking.

"Take it down? Lao Fourteen said well, do we have a boat? ”

Boats, this is a big drawback of Houjin, as a nomadic they don't know how to build a ship, although on land they can chase the Ming army to fight, but looking at the vast Bohai Bay they can only look at the ocean and sigh, watching Mao Wenlong rely on the ship to easily come and go freely

"Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top!

Although Dorgon was young, his military talent had been fully unleashed at this time, which was why he became the owner of the White Flag at such an age.

Of course, in many wild histories, Dolgon is the successor appointed by Nurhachi, and Huang Taiji is just a usurpation, and the authenticity of this is now untestable. However, the current Houjin has not been renamed the Manchu Dynasty, and Huang Taiji is not the supremacy of imperial power, and it is also controlled by the "Eight Kings Discussion".

"Old Fourteen, you have a lot of ideas, tell me what you think!"

Huang Taiji was silent for a moment, looked at Dolgon and said.

"Distraction, this is the method of the Han people, as long as it is used properly, then we can clean up Mao Wenlong without blood!"

Dolgon smiled and said: "As long as Mao Wenlong is solved, then our iron hooves of Dajin can unscrupulously rush towards the Ming Dynasty, and then the world will be our Aixin Jueluo family!" ”

"This method is feasible, then it is up to you, Dordor, and this matter will be left to you......"

Huang Taiji glanced at Dolgon suspiciously, and then handed over the task to Dolgon's brother, the master of the white flag.

……

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was planning Mao Wenlong, and at this moment Mao Wenlong was looking at a letter in the camp, this letter was from Fuzhou, and the sender was Wang Weiwen, a former soldier of the military department.

"Father, what is this epistle about?"

A young man beside Mao Wenlong looked at him and asked curiously.

"Someone's going to kill me!"

Mao Wenlong sighed and threw the letter into the stove beside him.

"Why, my father and my brothers are stationed in the Dongjiang River to contain Houjin, why do people still want to kill my father?"

The young man was puzzled and asked curiously.

"The saint wants to make peace, and I insist on fighting, Houjin wants to fight, naturally both sides want me to die!"

Mao Wenlong sighed: "It's a pity, Yuan Gong is not here, if he is still here, I will not be so passive!" ”

Yuan Gong is talking about Yuan Keli, when the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were against Mao Wenlong, only he stood firmly on Mao Wenlong's side and protected Mao Wenlong, but unfortunately this old minister who has gone through the four emperors of Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi and Chongzhen has now returned to his hometown and does not care about political affairs.

"So, father, how are we now?"

The young man looked at Mao Wenlong and asked anxiously.

"Two things! Hostility to send a letter to the new Governor of Jiliao, and the second is that you can go to ZQ Mansion to meet a baby named Gao Zhong, who is about the same age as you, but things can be seen clearly. ”

Mao Wenlong thought for a while and said to the young man: "If something happens to me, you don't want to come back, the southwest road is far away, but it is safe, maybe you still have a way to live there." Don't get close to Jingshi and Liaodong anymore, it's too dangerous! ”

"Father?"

The boy was taken aback, why did he leave Phi Dao, it was rare that things were really so dangerous?

"If something happens to me, the people below will definitely mutiny, there are a lot of people who want to go to the golden dog, I can still hold it down, if I'm not there, they will be in chaos......"

Mao Wenlong shook his head and continued.
