Chapter 59: Rebellion County Seat
"Zitong, although the court is not sympathetic to the people's feelings, but today's saint is still working hard, my Ming has not been abandoned by everyone in the world, although you and I have unfortunately become outcasts, and now we are abandoned by the court, but it is better not to embark on the road of rebellion."
Du Xiaoyuan didn't know how to persuade Yang Ming, as a Confucian female moral education since she was a child, she didn't dare to go too far, so she said a few words casually.
"Young master, the slave family also thinks that what Miss Plug said is very right, the slave family remembers that when the grandfather was alive, he said that our Yang family is favored by the country, and we do not ask to report to the king, but in case of crisis, we do not want the court to steal our lives, and do not turn our backs on the court", Yun Die, like Du Xiaoyuan, did not want Yang Ming to rebel.
In fact, Yang Ming also knew that they, like Tang Jinzhou and other bureaucrats and gentry, had thoughts about the imperial court. But these two women are the closest people to him, and Yang Ming is not good to say directly to the two of them like Tang Jinzhou, he will not be loyal to the Zhu dynasty, if the Zhu family dynasty is consistent with his own interests in safeguarding the Han nation, he can obey it in vain, and if he goes against his will, he will also be destroyed.
However, Yang Ming can also see that the Ming Dynasty has not lost the will of the people, especially among the bureaucratic gentry, and it is no wonder that Li Zicheng will be untenable after entering Beijing, just because there is no support from these bureaucrats and gentry.
And this also happens to show that the two kinds of thinking are gradually divided within the Hanjia camp.
One is to directly raise the banner and unveil the uprising and rebellion.
One is that if you can not deviate from the imperial court, you will not deviate from the imperial court, even if you are against the officials and the army now, you will be against the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, not against the Ming Dynasty, and you will still have to submit to the imperial court when you wait for the opportunity.
"It seems that we have to find an opportunity to unify our internal thinking, and we must have a clear program and goal", Yang Ming thought about it and said with a smile: "I didn't say that I wanted to rebel!" ”
Yang Ming really didn't have the intention of rebelling, or he didn't think that he was rebelling, he was just a more advanced way of surviving, and he opened up a new world in survival.
It can also be said that he never regarded the Ming Dynasty as an enemy, he regarded the group of untrained savages outside the gate as an enemy from the beginning, but how could others think that they were enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and they were so wronged.
Blocking Xiaoyuan and Yun Die smiled when they saw Yang Ming say this, especially since Yun Die was stabbed by Yang Ming through that layer of window paper, she was even more gentle and tired in Yang Ming's arms: "Hehe, the slave family knows that the young master is not the kind of disloyal and unrighteous person." ”
Yang Ming saw that Yun Die had added a lot of mature charm after her first experience, and his heart couldn't help but move, and after stroking her mantis head, he came over and put one shoulder on Xiao Yuan's fragrant shoulder, rubbing Xiao Yuan's crisp arm:
"Yuanyuan, although I don't want to be an enemy of the imperial court, but now I have offended many forces in the court, the imperial court will definitely have soldiers to suppress it, it is estimated that we will have to fight a few battles with the imperial court, so please also give your full support to support my husband and me, as long as we fight better and the imperial court is afraid, the imperial court will ignore us, right?"
Du Xiaoyuan pushed Yang Ming away, and said angrily and shyly: "Go away, what husband is not husband, don't be ashamed to say this!" Don't think I'm your cloud butterfly, I can be so casual. ”
The county seat of Dongxiang is now panicked, especially the gentry class, and they are worried that this group of thieves in the Han family camp will not kill like the Eight Kings (Zhang Xianzhong), so as soon as they heard that the county town was occupied by thieves, they had to flee to the countryside in a hurry, but because Yang Ming was only allowed to enter the city and not to leave the city, they were all blocked in the city.
However, most of the people are still selling cooking cakes as in the past, buying some firewood, rice, oil and salt, even the restaurant and tea shop are still open as usual, and the soldiers of the Han family camp do not go to provoke, people gradually find that this thief is not like the eight kings in the past few years, and they are relieved a lot, and they heard that Yang Ming, the leader of the Han family camp, came to the county seat today, and some gentry were even more bold to come to the city gate to greet them.
"Yang Biaotou, if you can't go out of the city, the old man really wants to go to meet Yang Gongzi outside the ten-mile long pavilion, and I also want to see the demeanor of this young hero", the old man in his old age came over with a dragon head cane and trembled and laughed with Yang Dazhu, and a large number of students behind him were also smiling and praising them.
Most of the gentry class did not have a firm position, and it was common for the city to change the king's banner frequently, otherwise there would not be so many squires and bureaucrats when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains. Similarly, today Yang Ming occupies the county seat, and they are also very active, and their speculative nature is vividly displayed.
Yang Dazhu used to be just a little servant in the Yang Mansion, although he served the young master since he was a child, but he was a slave after all, usually these old men who came to the Yang Mansion never looked at themselves head-on, but today these people are stammering themselves one by one, all of them want to say good things to them in front of the young master through themselves, this feeling makes Yang Dazhu very useful.
"Master Shan, you should go back and rest, this wind is cold, our young master will have to have an hour or two to get to the county seat", Yang Dazhu politely persuaded a few words, this single person naturally will not rely on the old and sell the old because of this, and he thanked a few words like "There is Lao Yang Biaotou care".
"Zhang Yuanwai, look at it, it's been raining all the time this day, and if my newly harvested grain is not transported to Chongqing for sale, it will all rot", a businessman said and stuffed a silver ticket with a face value of five hundred taels into Zhang Yuanwai: "Please go and tell Yang Biaotou, let me send a few people to pull this grain out, okay?" ”
"I said Gong Yuanwai, you don't know, I'm just a businessman, I can't talk about the Han family's business, and you can rest assured, Gongzi has already said that when he comes to the county, he will make up for the loss of you merchants who can't go out of the city. You can rest assured", Zhang Yuanwai is also rising now, and there are no less than ten businessmen who come to visit him every day, and some are even big businessmen from Huijin and Jin, who are detained in Dongxiang County.
This Gong Yuanwai is a big grain merchant in Yuncheng, Shanxi, and the grain in his hand is no less than 10,000 stones, seeing that this Zhang Yuanwai still does not speak, he hurriedly added a silver ticket: "Zhang Yuanwai, you are laughing, who doesn't know that you are one of the heads of Hanjia Village, in charge of the money bags of Hanjia Village, you say that you can't speak, who can still speak." ”
Zhang Yuanwai, who came to the county seat, made a lot of fortune because he went to the gentry's house every day to eat and drink, and his body became more obese.
After Zhang Yuanwai stood up, the two silver tickets of five hundred taels on the table had already entered his sleeves, and Gong Yuanwai couldn't help but be happy when he saw this.
"Since Gong Yuanwai can afford me Zhang, I won't go around in circles, although I can't help you transport grain out of the city, but I have other ways."
Zhang Yuanwai is now very confident, just last night, Yang Ming asked Yang Dazhu to transport him 100,000 taels of silver, and asked Zhang Yuanwai to hurry up and buy food, cloth, iron and other things to hoard materials and deal with future wars.
"What's the method?" Gong Yuanwai couldn't help but smile, he used to think that this Zhang Yuanwai was just a small merchant from a small mountain village, but in the past few months, many businessmen have been tricked by him, and many businessmen also know how powerful he is, and they don't dare to play any tricks.
