Under Xie Hong's leadership, Ningbo, or should I say the entire Hangzhou Bay, became noisy. [Full text reading]

This is the most prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the place with the most families, without the suppression of those big families, the families, craftsmen, and even the guards and farmers, all strata have taken action, and there is a hot scene everywhere.

At the same time, Nanjing was shrouded in a gloomy fog.

Xie Hong's actions are not low-key at all, including Ningbo, Yuyao, and Wu County, Jiang Bin and his brothers have broken through more than ten county seats, and only in a capital city like Hangzhou are the people who sneak in and kill. With such a big movement, even if the news is blocked, it will not have any effect, not to mention that Xie Hong has no intention of blocking the news at all.

Therefore, in the same place south of the Yangtze River, Nanjing quickly received the news.

As soon as they received the news, the officials in Nanjing were furious, and no one would be deceived by the pretense of the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and everyone knew what the actual situation was.

Even the most domineering Emperor Taizu wanted to kill people to find a reason to punish him; When copying the nine clans, they will also leave the female dependents and young children behind, instead of not even saying hello as now, and directly killing the chickens and dogs without leaving them, what a murderous act.

Even if their hometown is not in the coastal zone, those who have not been attacked are filled with righteous indignation, let alone those who have been involved. Wang Jianzhi, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, is one of them, his hometown is in Shaoxing, and he is also the backbone of the Jiangnan scholars, and the experience of the Wang family is naturally self-evident.

White-headed overnight, like several other colleagues who suffered the same disaster, Wang Shilang was also inexplicably sad and indignant after hearing the news, and the hundreds of people in his family were gone, and it was equally unbearable for anyone.

However, when he received another piece of news that came next, he suddenly became excited again, and early the next morning, he invited many colleagues and ran to the Yamen of the Nanjing Military Department to meet Lin Han, the secretary of the Military Department.

In August last year, Lin Han also participated in the meeting in Yuyao Xie Mansion, and made a lot of suggestions and efforts, although he was not from Jiangnan, but he could also be called the backbone of the Shi Party, so Wang Jianzhi also had the heart to win.

Wang Jianzhi gritted his teeth and said: "Lin Weng, this is a great opportunity to hoe and annihilate, that annihilation came lightly, with only more than a thousand people, and now he is in Ningbo and does not need foreign aid, only to exhaust the soldiers of Nanjing, and from Jianzhi to lead the crowd to go, he will be able to capture it with one drum and avenge my fellow victims in Jiangnan." ”

"Yes, Brother Quanshan, the opportunity must not be missed, if the opportunity is missed, then the Daming Sheji will be overturned."

In addition to Wang Jianzhi, He Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is also a native of Shaoxing, and now it has become a hard-hit area, he is the backbone of the party, and the He family naturally can't escape this catastrophe. Therefore, after being invited by Wang Jianzhi, he did not hesitate to follow, and tried his best to persuade him at this time.

"Shiguang, Ming Zhong, colleagues," Lin Han straightened his robe, his face was indifferent, and he said slowly: "Have you ever thought about what the crime of transferring troops without the order of the imperial court is the crime?" That's a great sin of rebellion! The old man has been out of office since the second year of Chenghua, and has gone through three dynasties so far, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, how can he do such a disloyal thing? ”

"Brother Quanshan, ...... you" He Jian is in a hurry, why are you still talking about these clichés, you can't transfer troops privately? Isn't the Fujian Navy a soldier? Didn't you transfer before? As long as Xie Hong is killed, who will pay attention to such trivial matters?

"Lin Weng, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, before we worked together, the thief was menacing, eighty percent came for revenge, now Jiangnan is already like this, Fujian is not far from Ningbo, if you don't plan as soon as possible, maybe you will follow in the footsteps of Jiangnan."

Seeing Lin Han's indifferent expression, Wang Jianzhi already knew that something was wrong, although he hadn't figured out whether the old man was scared or had other ideas.

But the matter at the moment is obvious, since he has started to talk clichés, then this old man just doesn't plan to wade into this troubled water. However, since they have already boarded the ship, it is not so easy to get off, and the fleet going to Lushun is likely to have an accident, maybe it was defeated, maybe it was encountered by wind and waves, but it is impossible for the fleet to die all.

Even if all the people in the fleet are dead, there are many people in the know, aren't they? Isn't He Jian the same? Therefore, he hinted to the other party, don't be lucky, thinking that it will be okay if you shrink now, with the tyrannical methods of the plague god, stretching your neck is a knife, shrinking is also a knife, and no one who gets on the boat can escape.

"The imperial court has its own laws and disciplines, and all parts of the south of the Yangtze River are subject to Japanese invaders, so what does it have to do with the governors of the three sides? Even if there is an obstacle, now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, the court has its own public opinion, where will it be our turn to question it? You must know that this is Nanjing, not Yanjing, even if there are extraordinary things, you can't act without authorization, and you have been officials for many years, so why don't you know the words 'prudent words and deeds'. ”

Hearing the meaning of Wang Jianzhi's words, Lin Han was displeased, he was also very dissatisfied, the old man had already put his attitude so obviously, the old man was afraid, and he didn't want to mix it up, why are you still entangled?

The Wang family is dead, but the Lin family is still alive and well, send troops, not to mention whether these old soldiers in Nanjing can be used, even if they can be used, they come by boat, and they can't run if they can't fight? When the time comes, people go to Fujian smoothly, then wouldn't it be bad? You know, Fuzhou is also close to the sea!

"Lin Hengda, are you actually afraid? Kong said Chengren, Meng said to take righteousness, where have you read the sage books, the national disaster is at the head, and a great opportunity is in front of you, you actually ...... "No matter how dull you are, He Jian has also come back to his taste at this time, he trembled and pointed at Lin Han, and his whole body trembled.

Lin Han lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, ignoring He Jian's fingers that were about to poke his face, and he didn't care about those words that were almost scolding. has been an official for so many years, what he has learned is not only to be cautious in words and deeds, to be self-defeating, and to be shameless, he has long been familiar with such skills, how can he be moved by just words?

"Forget it, Brother Shiguang, everyone has their own ambitions, so be it for today." Wang Jianzhi's ability to observe his face is not bad, it is not a question of whether he can convince Lin Han at this time, and many of the colleagues who were invited to come with him have the intention of retreating.

Nanjing is not as good as the capital, there are the imperial party and the scholar party. Most of the people who served here were either exiled after the failure of the government or accumulated qualifications, and most of them were looking forward to returning to the capital, so they were all holding back their strength and wanted to take the lead, and they had to jump twice when they had anything to do, and they were much more active than the Beijing officials in Yanjing, and most of them could be classified as first-class scholars.

If today's matter was put in the past, it would definitely be a situation of group attack, the imperial history is not to be said, and the officials and directors of the various yamen will not lag behind, so it is strange that Lin Han is not scolded into a sieve.

But now, except for He Jian and a few fellow villagers in Jiangnan who were also poisoned, the others were at most mixed with two sentences like mud, and more of them were like Xu Shu who had entered Cao Ying, standing aside without caring about himself, and came without saying a word.

Afraid, isn't it just Lin Han? And not just Fujianese? In the face of Xie Hong's unprecedented ferocious methods, apart from these victims, who can muster up the courage to face the difficulties? Under the threat of killing the whole family if you don't comply, what kind of thing is Jiejiao?

…… Looking at the back of Wang Jianzhi and the others leaving, Lin Han's gloomy face suddenly showed a sneer, "Xiang'er, what is the movement in Hangzhou, have you really inquired clearly?" ”

"Yes, Dad." Behind the screen covering the back door, a middle-aged man suddenly turned out, he bowed respectfully, and then said, "Plague...... Lord Xie's actions seem crazy, but in fact, he is measured, except for the leader and those who have been following Xie Qian, no one else has been affected, Dad, it is not bad with your estimate. ”

"Well, you go on." Lin Han bowed slightly.

"Lord Xie summoned all the families in Ningbo, and the people sent out were all people who were said to be trapped in the five islands, or wavered on the way to Lushun Road, and surrendered to the battle, and that Wang Hai was even more ......."

The middle-aged man explained the situation roughly, and then shook his head with palpitations, "Jiangnan layout, Master Xie has already arranged it, this vision and wisdom are really admirable!" Dad, you are right, our Lin family should indeed stay out of the matter. ”

"No, you're not right." Lin Han shook his head slowly, tapped his fingers on the table twice, and then glanced at his son with a surprised face, and said in a deep voice: "Since Zhu Maogong was in charge of Shandong, we Fujian scholars have been involved in the whirlpool, last year, after my father went to Yuyao, our Lin family was more involved, and now it is not easy to stay out of the matter." ”

"Then ......" Lin Xiang hesitated a little, "Dad, you just rejected Wang Mingzhong and them, do you want to be like Jiao Mengyang and them, but now, it's a little too late, right?" ”

The standing line is also divided into first-come, first-come, first-to-go, naturally eat meat in front, and those who join later can only follow behind to drink soup, although Lin Xiang is hindered by his identity and does not come out, but he has a lot of experience in the doorway of officialdom, and he feels that Dad's choice is very unwise.

"Xiang'er, I've been letting you be outside all these years, and your mother is ...... Indeed, being a father cannot bear you. Lin Han suddenly let out a long sigh and talked about things that had nothing to do with the current topic.

"Dad, what are you talking about, the child chose to be outside, anyway, it is for the good of the Lin family, if you go back, it will make the eldest brother and second brother angry." Big families also have the troubles of big families, and there will always be all kinds of contradictions between the concubines and the children of the descendants, and the Lin family also has a scripture that is difficult to read.

"But now is a good opportunity, you are not like the court machine, they have already appeared, and their every move is concerned, so you can take this opportunity to vote for it." Lin Han brushed his long beard and said slowly: "I also understand the ambition of that Lord Xie, no matter what happens in the future, at least there will be something to do now, what he wants, I also know, you just have to go on behalf of the Lin family." ”

"Then you ......"

"The old man is so old, all he thinks about is to protect the Lin family, your eldest brother and second brother have already come out, and it is difficult to transform into a new bureaucrat, if you are like the old man, retire when you should retire, at least you can save your wife, and the future of the Lin family is on you." Lin Han said meaningfully.

"Yes, Daddy, the boy understands." Lin Xiang understood what his father meant.

This can be regarded as a two-sided bet, anyway, the father is already old, and Zhishi is also reasonable, so it makes room for Xie Hong, who wants to promote the new bureaucracy, which can be regarded as a vote. If Xie Hong loses power in the future and the scholar party recovers, Lin Han cannot be pursued on this basis, and the Lin family can also preserve its reputation.

This is the wisdom of these great families who can span thousands of years without falling, of course, although this wisdom is far-reaching and long-lasting, it is indeed a little less knotty.
