What happened on the night of November 20, the twentieth year of Guangxu, was destined to be discussed by the people of Jiangning with great interest for a long time. The genius was slightly bright, and the streets and alleys were already full of people who were alarmed. Whether it's getting up early to pick vegetables and deliver water, or burning tiger stoves, or selling breakfast, as long as you can stand down, there are people talking about it.

"Alas, I know, yesterday those halls in Qinhuaihe, I don't know how many adults came out, and they were sent to the superintendent like death row prisoners, and the yellow-clothed Praetorian Guards were ruthless, and they all made people feel refreshed!"

The word alas at the beginning of each sentence is the sound of Jiangning Tubai and Yangping, slightly raised. It is very charming to read, this morning, Jiangning City is full of sighs and sighs, as long as there is one person talking, there will be a bunch of people around it in the blink of an eye. Everyone was full of interest, and in the end, they either lost their hands and went to the door of the supervision office to see the excitement, or they helped guess how Haidong Xu Dashuai was going to deal with these arrested Liangjiang officials.

No matter how it is handled, the people also vaguely feel that this is probably going to be different from before.

The people discussed, and the civil and military officials who were detained in the Liangjiang Supervision Office also squatted in the school yard of the Supervision Office, anxiously waiting for their fate. These unlucky guys are divided into piles and large and small in dozens of circles. The Praetorian Guards were not unkind to them, and they sighed and whispered as they went. There was also hot water brought in. A few people with particularly poor bodies and the heaviest addiction to cigarettes were carried to the next room and sent a few cigarette bubbles. In the crowd, Jia Yiqian's domain and Liu Changshou's platform were both invited into the court, both of them were pale-faced, and they followed the visitor angrily, leaving a group of people looking at their backs.

“………… This Xu ...... How is Xu Zhijun going to deal with us? Join us? Then why did he toss us like this, anyway, what is the discussion in the ministry, it is the court that has the final say, why does he have such fanfare and offend Jiangning officialdom? ”

"Who the fuck fuck him! As long as he doesn't have the courage to tie us up to the market, Lao Tzu will be strong with him to the end! I saw that most of him wanted us to draw a confession, and admitted that we violated the official courtyard so that we could take care of us. With the confession we painted, the court only pinched his nose and recognized his bullet seal, I said, it's a man, so I don't draw this confession! Xu Yifan doesn't dare to kill us now! Now there is General Yukun in Jiangning City, and Rong Zhongcheng in Suzhou, and he also has Wu Yiming's army of 7,000 horses! Xu Yifan is crazy, and now he dares to go against the sky? ”

An official may be hungry, so he poured a large bowl of hot water on his neck, patted and swayed, and only made a full belly: "I was not good in my previous life, I met Xu Yifan!" Can you stand up to this time, as long as Xu Yifan is in this position, can you still stand him for the second and third time? This official really doesn't have anything to do, I see that the court wants to deal with him, or everyone will simply change the province and don't want the envoys of these two rivers............ Why don't you learn from Bai Siwen, who has been in the dog 10,000 times, and see if you can drill Xu Yifan's door? ”

This official stirred up a thousand waves, and the sound of scolding and scolding was everywhere.

"There is a way to find it, but my grandson is not looking for a way! Xu Yifan is tearing his face with us. He's done it all, but is there a way for us to work? ”

"Stop the errand, do you feed my family of dozens of people? This is the matter, Lao Tzu stomped his feet and went to Suzhou, waiting for Rong Zhongcheng and Xu Yifan to die! If Rong Zhongcheng wants to deal with Xu Yifan, it is indispensable for us to stand and cheer! ”

"That's the truth, go to Suzhou, go to Suzhou! Since Rong Zhongcheng can use us, he has to subsidize us, and the treasury is in his hands, and when he arrives, he can always eat. What's next, let's take a step at a time, anyway, in this world, what long-term plans can you have? ”

was making a commotion, and saw more than 100 officers and soldiers in Praetorian Guard uniforms coming in the direction of the official hall of the Governor's Office. Xu Yifan also has no patrol officers under him, everyone has the same military uniform, and the officers have more armed belts and identification seals, and no one can figure out what the functions of these yellow-skinned people are under Xu Yifan and what they are responsible for. There is only one person in the first place, wearing the official uniform of the imperial court, the complement is a third-grade one, and the top is also red, and he looks like a big man. The eyebrows are sparse and magnanimous. Look, it is Xu Yifan's useful key personnel. The most important thing is not this, but next to this person, there is also a Jiang Daozhong of Jiangsu Xuetai who has an unfortunate face and anger is about to seep out of his head!

Seeing Jiang Daozhong, this is the only Jiangsu Third Division that was not arrested yesterday, and the officials in the school field seemed to see the backbone, and they were about to stand up in chaos. Xuetai is noble, his status is detached, and he can be regarded as a teacher of Liangjiang scholars. He sent a sentence, and sometimes the effect is much more effective than that of the feudal platform. Looking at him, some officials were about to cry: "Teacher...... Teacher, student, this ............"

"Master Jiang, you have to make decisions for us who are not successful! Xu Yifan has destroyed us scholars too much! ”

Jiang Daozhong walked up to them, and his face was pale, and he only said one sentence: "Shut up!" At this time, what else to say? Listen to Lord Tang! ”

Everyone's hearts were cold, and before they could say anything, they saw the red-topped man Shi Shiran come out, and arched his hand with a smile: "Everyone, my brother is Tang Shaoyi, the chief copywriter of Xu Dashuai's curtain, and the title of political envoy rewarded by the imperial court." I won't be annoyed with you like this today, and you are really too self-loving............"

One of the people in the crowd shouted: "The surname is Tang, how does Xu Yifan take care of us, let's talk about it quickly!" It's all like this, what kind of face to talk about! ”

Tang Shaoyi was not angry, he had been with Xu Yifan for so long, he had learned a little bit with his cheeky heart and dark eyes, and beckoned, Goshha had already handed over a list behind him, but he didn't read it himself, and handed it to Jiang Daozhong casually: "Lord Xuetai, this, please come by yourself, if there is any mistake or omission, it is easy to remedy it, right?" ”

Jiang Daozhong took it hatefully, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "What else can I make mistakes!" Xu Yifan is planning to destroy the two rivers, and I want to go to the book here! ”

Tang Shaoyi spread his hands: "It's not up to Brother Jiang!" Anyway, we don't rely on you to eat............"

Jiang Daozhong didn't say much more, he read this short list with a blushing face, if Tang Shaoyi read it himself, these officials really wouldn't have to stand up by themselves. Jiang Daozhong came down one by one, and those who reported their names came out in confusion, and the unlucky officials who didn't have their turn all looked at these lucky guys with envy, could it be that Jiang Daozhong left the door and ensured these officials to come out? Some of the quick-minded and well-informed people thought about the identities of these people carefully, and suddenly shouted in their hearts.

This Xu Yifan, his mind is also poisonous!

The characters who stood up were also seventy or eighty, and the list was read to the tail, but Tang Shaoyi, who had been holding his hands and smiling with a smirk, turned pale and said coldly to the officials who stood up: "The grace of the handsome, you all used a wool pen, ten years of cold windows, and a few hard exams. A piece of paper has gone up and revoked your reputation, and I'm so sorry for your hard work............ Dashuai has specially relaxed the standards, whether it is Jinshi Sanguan, Xiaojingqing Jingcha is released, the people are raised to provoke the county, or Wugong is born, as long as it is the right way, this time he will not ask! The envoy will protect you, Lord Jiang watched you think about it behind closed doors for ten days, and then you will return to your duties, and you will not be able to protect you like this next time! Everyone, please! The face of a scholar, Xu Dashuai always has to take care of it! ”

If you go back and think about it behind closed doors, it means that you have admitted your mistake this time and bowed your head to Xu Yifan. Jiang Daozhong stood aside and his beard was about to be torn off, and he couldn't wait to jump out of a few strong points, don't want this errand, and Xu Yifan will go to the end! But after such a shock last night, I heard that the messenger was saved. If Xu Yifan was present, it is estimated that there would be people kneeling down and kowtowing, and then comparing the guys who were still squatting behind him, he would be afraid to compare with each other, it would really be to the sky. A group of officials responded vaguely and loudly, and hurriedly saluted Tang Shaoyi, and looked at Jiang Daozhong at the moment, eager to hug their heads and run away immediately.

In the end, Jiang Daozhong stomped his feet hatefully: "Follow me!" Something that doesn't make it! "Turn around and go. The officials who followed behind, the rabbit was their grandson, and they ran so fast.

The school field was quiet for a while, squatting and sitting, and these officials who were in tatters and wandering just looked at Tang Shaoyi. Those guys in front of them were amnesty, and now everyone is lucky. People's minds are so strange, seeing that others have a way to live, they no longer pretend to be heroes, they just ask Tang Shaoyi to say any good news. If you lose face, you will lose it, and you can lose two pounds of meat on your body? When you come out to be an official, you have to stand on duty, you have to serve the official, and your face has long been used as an insoles, and there is no shortage of this time.

There are more than 300 people left, all of whom are donors. The Qing season has been donating so far. Officials at all levels who run from the middle level down have long been in the majority of donations. When choosing the governor and the feudal officials, you must also take care of face. Below the platform, who cares so much! If you donate money, you don't care about spending more money and exercising. Anyway, I have to go back to my roots. For those who are cold readers, the competitiveness in this area is obviously lost at the starting line.

Since it's a donation class, it's a joke! Those who are illiterate account for at least seventy percent, and the rest are also half-incomprehensible. Almost everyone has a smoking addiction, and almost everyone is hollowed out by alcohol. They are not here to be officials, they are here to do business. The upper echelons of the Qing Dynasty also treated these donations, doubling their unkindness, doubling the price and getting what they wanted. To make a long-term difference, there is always a shortage, and at least half of what you get in a day must be given to powerful people in all aspects. The more you pay, the more ruthless you will get in the place. The Manchu Central Committee's official donation system, which earned only 2 million a year, caused at least more than a year's financial revenue of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in all links. There is no worse evil than this.

Tang Shaoyi just looked at this group of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods with contempt on his face: "Everyone, I said...... Still waiting for the big man to give you breakfast? The top is left, and everyone is out! Don't expect to be back in office, dare to sneak back, the Praetorian Guard is waiting for you there! Now that the vacant points are vacant, the marshal has sent the Praetorian Guard to maintain them, and all official affairs should be suspended. The road to Suzhou is empty for you! The marshal has already played a fold to the court, and from now on, Liangjiang will not appoint a donation class! Return the world to an innocent two rivers! ”

He flicked his sleeves violently: "Drive out this group of disgusting things!" ”

Take off the top of the 300 donation class! None of these donors are alternates, they are either local states and counties, or they are signed by this bureau and that bureau. As soon as Xu Yifan made a move, it was really a thunderous masterpiece, and he was going to bring down the big tree of Liangjiang officialdom from the root!

Tang Shaoyi gave an order, and more than 100 officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard immediately surrounded them, and drove these unlucky guys who were stupid and scared out of the way, until they were put out of the gate of the Supervision Office, and some of them were still stunned and didn't know what was going on.

Why did the Qing Dynasty that everyone is familiar with have all changed in this day?

The entrance of the Governor's Office was also full of people who came to see the excitement, watching this pile of guys being thrown out as if they were being thrown out of the garbage, whistles, applause, and laughter suddenly sounded like thunder.

I don't know that the donor stomped his feet in the crowd and shouted, "Go...... Go to Suzhou! Even if we don't fight with Xu Yifan, we have to recognize the book we have invested in over the years! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Xu Yifan, this is a fool?" Rong Lu carefully looked at the telegram in his hand over and over again, and picked it up and sniffed it. I'm afraid I'm dreaming.

Yukun sent a telegram to him as soon as he was angry, Xu Yifan thundered last night, swept away the officialdom of Jiangning in one fell swoop, and had already put on an attitude of breaking with this intricate local forces in Jiangning!

Originally, Rong Lu was jumping up and down in Suzhou, but to be honest, there were mostly people who waited and watched. Everyone only looks at their own one-third of an acre, as long as Xu Yifan doesn't deceive people too much, it's not perfunctory. But this Xu Yifan seemed to be afraid that he would not have enough strength to resist him, so he insisted on sending these forces into his arms!

In the past few days, Rong Lu has not slept soundly all night, and he has to ask Wu Yi Mingjun eight times a day if he has set off and arrived there. He learned Xu Yifan's ability to break the situation with strength in North Korea. I was also afraid that Xu Yifan would play hard with him. But as long as Wu Yiming's 7,000 troops arrived in Suzhou, as long as Xu Yifan did not dare to fight in Liangjiang, he would simply become a thief in the Qing Dynasty. Then he can't help Ronglu in Suzhou. As long as Rong Lu keeps disgusting Xu Yifan, after all, he has a shallow foundation, and he is busy dealing with him Rong Lu every day, how much time and energy do you have, and how solid does a solid foundation you have to develop your strength?

According to him, Xu Yifan should be somewhat perfunctory about the Liangjiang officialdom, anyway, according to his team, he can't eat such a big territory! Settle down, and then talk about the rest. However, in this case, Rong Lu selfishly felt that his task was also completed, and finally disgusted Xu Yifan, delayed the pace of his development, and won a little time for the court in the north. From the bottom of his heart, Rong Lu went south, but he didn't expect to bring down Xu Yifan! What the overall situation will be in the future will only be seen and seen. Unfortunately in the last days of the Qing Dynasty, there was such a demon as Xu Yifan!

But now, Xu Yifan has pushed almost all his strength towards him Ronglu! Could it be that he went too smoothly all the way, and now he is also dizzy?

Rao is admonishing himself to calm down, but Rong Lu still couldn't help but stand up and rub his hands in the signing room: "This, this............ Come on! ”

"What do you command?"

"Call Master Jiang Ningyu and ask him to move to Suzhou quickly, what is the matter, let's discuss it." Jiang Xuetai also called and asked him to contact the gentry, read the seeds, and prepare to post a post and boycott the market! Xu Yifan destroyed the Liangjiang officialdom today, and he will destroy the Liangjiang Shilin tomorrow, and he can't be contemptuous! I, Ronglu, are patting my chest here, Xu Yifan can't help them! At the same time, I telegraphed to Jiangning officialdom, there is one count, I Ronglu is here, and I am waiting for everyone! I have a subsidy for those who have been dismissed, and I will help them fight a lawsuit if they are wronged............ They also have to do their best, and they can't eat in vain. wrote to the gentry in various places where they were officials, preaching that Xu Yifan was going to take them under the knife, and asked them to donate half of their family property to support the soldiers! I can't say that I want a villain, it's messy, the more chaotic the better, anyway, the court doesn't plan to ask for this Liangjiang! ”

Speaking of the place where it rises, Rong Lu's Qi Nourishing Kung Fu is gone, dancing there with a hideous face. The family member who took his orders was memorizing them one by one.

It took a long time for Rong Lu to calm down. Thinking of another thing, Da Sheng asked, "Where is Chen Junmen?" ”

The family rolled their eyes in their hearts, the previous time they asked was less than an hour, and now they asked again, but they still had to answer respectfully: "Chen Junmen, they are traveling day and night, and the last call has already been on the ship in Yangzhou Mansion, Chen Junmen took two battalions of his own soldiers, and they will arrive in ............Suzhou later."

"Good, good! Tell Chen Junmen that I will meet him thirty miles outside Panmen! Go, go, power generation! ”

Chen Fenglou is on the ship now, which telegram did he answer! Seeing that the adults were a little stupid with excitement, the family had to vaguely agree to retreat. Rong Lu still couldn't calm down, and walked around in the signing room.

"Xu Yifan, this is your chance to give Rong Laozi! The court, the court, don't miss the respite that someone Rong has worked so hard to fight! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Compared with Rong Lu's excitement, Xu Yifan, who is now sitting firmly in the Liangjiang Governor's Office, looks relaxed. And Chu Wanli was there with his fingers to calculate military matters.

The strength of the three towns of the Praetorian Guard, the first is not enough, and the second needs to be rectified. Money is needed to expand the army, and it seems that there is no shortage of it now. After taking over Liangjiang, there will be a more stable supply of financial resources. Officers are needed to reorganize the troops, and it is necessary to start a new phase of officer training as soon as possible. Xu Yifan doesn't want to accept more Nanyang disciples, and the Nanyang power is already big enough. What he wanted was to limit the officer corps from Nanyang's children to the first town, and the other towns to train local officers. This not only maintains the purity and loyalty of the first town team, but also has a faint restraining power in the other towns. When he got to his position, this careful arrangement of personnel was really arranged casually. His subordinates have reached a certain position, and they can naturally see it, but they all take it for granted.

Xu Yifan is a person who wants to win the championship, and it is normal to make reasonable arrangements for his subordinate groups. If he doesn't think about anything, and thinks of where to develop, these characters who follow him will really worry!

The two of them were calculating how many officers they were training to expand the ranks and reorganize their strength, and how much money they needed. Which sources of funds should be pasted first, and which ones can be supplied by relying on the two rivers in the future. The Praetorian Guard is the foundation of Xu Yifan's career, compared to this, arresting hundreds of officials, the status in Xu Yifan's mind is nothing more than mustard.

What Rong Lu thinks, how will he deal with it, Xu Yifan is too lazy to think about it, so let the old boy dance according to the script. Even the central court of Yanjing, in fact, Xu Yifan did not regard it as a real opponent. His opponent has always been just the trend of the times! How to conform to it, or even rebel against it!

Just when he and Chu Wanli were having a good time, they heard footsteps, and Zhang Peilun walked out and slapped his face: "The talk has collapsed." ”

"Collapsed? Those two boys are really uninteresting, I thought that if you were sent over, they would always be able to read the old three! Xu Yifan said with a smile, not caring at all.

"Zhongtang stepped down, the Huai system tree fell and scattered, how cold and thin the world is, how can there be more Jia Yiqian! Not only that, Jia Yiqian also pointed at his lower nose and scolded bitterly, saying that he would go to Hefei Zhongtang to sue me and sue me for this villain! ”

Zhang Peilun sat down and smiled bitterly, Jia Yiqian and Liu Changshou were treated preferentially. Xu Yifan sent Zhang Peilun over to let these two people understand better. If you don't learn Bai Siwen and cooperate with Xu Yifan to the end, Xu Yifan will always be able to give them a good result. Otherwise, please ask the two of you to leave, and go to Suzhou casually, what will happen in the future, Xu Yifan will not pack the ticket.

can pull the Jiangsu Domain and Zhentai over, and the momentum is finally a little bigger. Xu Yifan didn't expect to arrest these two provincial leaders last night. Jia Yiqian is a descendant of the Huai family, Xu Yifan's Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhang Peilun and others always read a little incense, and want Xu Yifan to give him a chance, as for Liu Changshou, he is an out-and-out Hanlin background, Xu Yifan is pulling the banner this time, and he can also use this Hanlin, so he simply persuade them together to see if these two people are smart or not.

didn't think about it, this talk collapsed.

It seems that Lao Tzu's strength has not been shown enough............ It's not enough to make these guys' hearts shake and recognize the trend!

Xu Yifan slowly stood up: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, it's up to them." I don't care............ Lo and behold, it's raining. ”

Looking out from the office of the Governor's Office, the dark clouds on the horizon are piling up and surging, and the rain stars are already floating in the air, and a rare heavy rain in winter is just around the corner!

In the public hall, several people sat or stood silently, with a little reverence and awe, watching the changes in the sky. After a while, the rain began to fall and became heavier and heavier. Under the dripping eaves of the public hall, strings of rain slipped down like beads, shrouding everything in the world in a vast expanse, looking around, Jiangning City was shrouded in darkness. Zhongshan stones, the smoke and rain of the Southern Dynasty, are all shrouded in this rain and fog.

Xu Yifan slowly walked to the eaves, and the two Praetorian Guards outside the door were still standing straight with guns, and the raindrops slid down the big-brimmed hats, wetting their young faces. In the rain and fog, a person came quickly, splashing all over the ground, and when he looked closely, it was Pu Yang. He was holding two raincoats, but he was drenched, and looked at Xu Yifan standing in front of the steps with his hands in his hands, and stood up and saluted. Xu Yifan smiled and waved his hand, and Pu Yang hurriedly handed the two raincoats to the guards and put them on with his own hands. The guards and Pu Yang saluted each other, and then they saw Pu Yang's equally young figure turn and stride away into the rain.

Chu Wanli and Zhang Peilun also followed, standing quietly behind Xu Yifan.

"Hey, this kid ............" finally Chu Wanli couldn't hold back, and said casually with a smile. Xu Yifan waved his hand to signal him not to look down and said, "The trend is unstoppable, it's not a personal matter...... Where is Chen Fenglou? ”

Chu Wanli pursed his lips and tilted his head to recall: "Let's go to Suzhou in two days............

"Cheng, I'll make Rong Lu proud for another three days, November 25, I'll go to Suzhou! Lao Tzu doesn't have so much time to delay! The wind and rain are like obscurity, but there will always be thunder and thunderbolts to tear apart this boundless darkness! ”

"Youqiao, give the court a twist and turn, let's use the electricity to make it clear."

After saying this, Xu Yifan turned around and entered the court, Zhang Peilun and Chu Wanli stood there, smiling at each other. Where is this recital, this is the text! It is a text announcing that the changes in the world are imminent!

On November 21, the twentieth year of Guangxu, Xu Yifan, the new governor of Jiang, who attracted the attention of the world, made his first performance in Liangjiang with a telegram. In the more than 200 years of the Qing Dynasty, there has never been such a high-profile act by such a governor. What is the difference between the power of the world and the will of Mingfa?

The fold explained that Xu Yifan swept the officialdom of Liangjiang in the twentieth day, and overnight, Fengyue Place, actually caught three hundred and eighty-nine officials! Among them, there are more than 80 people on the right way, Xu Yifan has asked them to go back and think about it behind closed doors, and they will be reinstated in ten days. The remaining more than 300 people are all donors, and Xu Yifan has participated in them all! And before waiting for the will of the imperial court, all of them have been dismissed!

In the compromise, there is a lot of quality in the donation class, and there is even one who robbed the treasury silver, and the same title of donation, is an errand in a rich place like Yangzhou! The donation class has completely ruined the career of the official and blocked the way for the gentleman to advance. Xu Yifan, please from now on, the land of two rivers, swear not to donate the like!

In the middle of the play, Xu Yifan also shouted the slogan of refreshing politics and starting from the two rivers. Please ask the imperial court to give Liangjiang the right to elect officials, and the law of governance, please also ask Liangjiang to dictate itself. A few years later, it can be seen that the two rivers have been effective, and if it is not effective, Xu Yifan will be the first to thank the world, and the effect will let the world be the first to open up the atmosphere from the two rivers! At the time of the great changes that have not been seen in 3,000 years, Xu Yifan fought hard in the northeast of Korea, and he could only save the world's luck endlessly.

The imperial court has both pulled out Tan Si and flowed into the court, except for Kang Youwei, who is fortunate to be a villain and cannot be used, the rest of the members are all talented people, and the court also has the heart to change the law and innovate. The central change of the law, the court of self-destruction, the local change of the law, Liangjiang is willing to be the first in the world!

The world wants to change, which is already the consensus among the intellectuals of the Qing Dynasty. The twists and turns of the First Sino-Japanese War, which almost ended in a fiasco, strengthened this idea in people's hearts. When the court was twisting and turning, and wanted to make a show and it was difficult to say it for a while, various local forces watched each other. Finally, someone knocked on the corner of this iron house, and made such a cry in the light!

This is not a scholar's wild words, but the call of the last strongman who holds tens of thousands of the first strong army of the Qing Dynasty, and the court is afraid but can only stare at him for a while, which is a bright spot for many people, so that they seem to see where the trend is going, where luck is quietly changing, and also let them see who is standing at the forefront of this trend!

The wind and thunder from the two rivers are about to shake the world!

(To be continued)
