Chapter 253: Suspend the counterattack
Dang Laiwang soon had news that the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce asked him to carry out the next step, first of all, to unite and fund the scholars in Shaanxi as much as possible, because the situation in Shaanxi and Nanzhili is different, the students here are very good readers, and in Nanzhili, the students are nothing at all, the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce requires the party to come to Wang on the basis of uniting and funding the scholars in Shaanxi, and implement the idea of Donglin Academy and Fushe, so that these people can become scholars who support and are loyal to the Donglin Party. The second is to collect the matters related to the renovation of water conservancy facilities in various parts of Shaanxi, mainly to search for any inappropriate behavior of the government in the process of repairing the ditches, and to find out the faults in it no matter what, and finally to investigate in various parts of Shaanxi, mainly to investigate whether those rogues who have been appeased by the government continue to join the ranks of the rogues, and list the list of these people in detail.
This time, when the party came to report these things, it mentioned Qian Qianyi's name again.
Qian Qianyi has become one of the leaders of the Donglin Party.
Dang Laiwang confirmed that Qian Qianyi has a lot of connections with the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, and he also has a lot of contacts with big businessmen from all over Nanzhili on weekdays.
The most critical situation is still related to Zhou Yanru, it should be said that Qian Qianyi was conspired by Zhou Yanru and others, otherwise he would have become an auxiliary minister of the Ming Cabinet, between Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi, strictly speaking, there is a huge contradiction, but the party came to report the situation, Qian Qianyi sent people to get in touch with Zhou Yanru several times, and it can even be said that he took the initiative to show goodwill.
Zheng Xunrui immediately thought of one thing, Zhou Yanru in history became the first assistant of the cabinet again, it was because of the support of the Donglin Party, and Zhou Yanru, who served as the first assistant of the cabinet again, was also very grateful to the Donglin Party.
Zhou Yanru is by no means a member of the Donglin Party, he served as the first assistant of the cabinet before, and the reason why he got the support of the Donglin Party is that he has a great relationship with the emperor, and the emperor praised the bravery of the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, and completely rehabilitated the Donglin Party, which Zhou Yanru must understand, and it is almost impossible to sit firmly in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet and choose to confront the Donglin Party.
Even the current cabinet chief assistant Wen Tiren is slowly easing the relationship with the Donglin party.
Qian Qianyi sent people to visit Zhou Yanru, which shows that the think tank of the Donglin Party has noticed Zhou Yanru's influence, and as long as they can help Zhou Yanru make a comeback, then the Donglin Party will be able to consolidate its position and power more solidly.
If in the past, when such a situation occurred, Zheng Xunrui didn't care, whether it was Zhou Yanru or Qian Qianyi, it was not the object he needed to fight for and woo, in this era, only strength is the most important, but now Zheng Xunrui needs to care, because Zhou Yanru's daughter is about to marry into the Zheng family and become Zheng Kaihua's wife, if there is a direct contradiction between Zheng Xunrui and Zhou Yanru, it will be laughed at by others.
Xu Wanghua had a look of disdain on his face.
"My lord, my subordinates look at the Donglin Party as such a trick of the subordinates, and my subordinates really didn't expect that the Donglin Party people, who are righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, will also do such a dirty deed behind their backs."
"It's not a big deal, I remember when I traveled to Suzhou, I felt that the group of scholars of the Fushe had lost the backbone of the readers, flattery, exclusion of others, self-righteousness, I thought that the Fushe had no interest, although when the Fushe Ying Society and Donglin Academy were established, some people may be in order to change the disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty, and the slogan put forward is good, but once it is caught in the party struggle, once someone starts from their own interests, once someone begins to lose their way, It is a very simple thing for Donglin Academy to have problems, and when they have problems, they will find high-sounding reasons, so that others can't see it, and they boast that their level and knowledge are the highest. ”
"When the lord said this, the subordinates understood, and the subordinates remembered the adult's evaluation of Yuan Chonghuan, and the self-righteous attitude of the Donglin Party made them do despicable and shameless things, and they didn't know shame."
"That's right, the Donglin Party has done a lot of things to harm the people, but unfortunately they don't think they have done wrong, but for the sake of the court and the world, even if they are influenced by southern businessmen and scholars, they don't admit it, this kind of political party that uses knowledge to cover up its own problems will never be productive, and such a political party, accustomed to seeing the wind and steering the rudder, will not have much loyalty."
After Xu Wanghua left the wing, Zheng Jinhong hurriedly came in.
Zheng Jinhong has not been a lot of time to come to the governor's yamen, after all, Zheng Jiajun has too many things to do, and the monthly expenditure of more than 100,000 taels of silver is a huge pressure, and seeing that the silver in the treasury is getting less and less, Zheng Jinhong must be worried.
This time I came to the governor's yamen because Zheng Xunrui had something to arrange, and this kind of thing arranged for him alone must be the most important and confidential matter, including Xu Wanghua didn't know, that is, it was a big matter involving the family.
"Jinhong, send people to Wuxi and Changshu in Suzhou, and keep an eye on Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru."
Zheng Jinhong has no expression on his face, he will strictly implement such a task, not to mention Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru, even if he keeps an eye on the emperor's whereabouts, he will do it, in his eyes, Zheng Xunrui is his master, and the rest are nothing.
"I wrote a letter to Zhou Yanru, you sent the most powerful person to send it, you can't let anyone else know, Zheng Kaihua and Zhou Bingyan's marriage has been determined, you have to remember that our marriage with the Zhou family is just to get benefits from each other, I have long emphasized to Zheng Kaihua that if Zhou Yanru is biased towards the Donglin Party, then this marriage will lose its meaning, and the Zheng family and the Zhou family will turn against each other."
"Young master, my subordinates know, my subordinates feel that there is nothing remarkable, in case it doesn't work, it is not a big deal to be familiar with sending someone to get rid of Qian Qianyi."
Zheng Xunrui smiled bitterly and shook his head, Zheng Jinhong's knowledge is worse after all, this is an irreparable shortcoming, if it were Xu Wanghua, he would never say such words.
"Jinhong, you have to remember that some things, tough means, may not be able to solve all problems, that is just the last resort, all the Donglin Party members are scholars, a lot of them, can it be said that killing all the Donglin Party readers, it is impossible, only to show their own ability, let them be convinced, this is the king."
"Young master, my subordinates understand."
"Well, there is also a letter to Zheng Kaihua here, you send it personally, go home by the way to see the situation, I can't withdraw for the time being, there are some words you can take back, Jiangning County is our base camp and rely on, Zheng Kaihua must run it well, the last time the Liukou tried to attack Fengyang Mansion City, it has caused a lot of fluctuations in Nanzhili, the gentry and wealthy families have greatly expanded the nursing home, Zheng Kaihua also has to seize this opportunity, the family needs at least about two thousand nursing homes, don't be reluctant to silver, the place where it should be invested must be invested, In addition, the business of salt and iron should be firmly grasped, and it is not possible to have compassion in business. ”
Zheng Jinhong nodded, he understood this aspect, following the young master over the years, seeing the young master's decisiveness, he had already learned, and the sentence that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself has become one of the military discipline and military regulations of the Zheng family.
"Another point, especially remind Zheng Kaihua, don't have anything to do with the Donglin Academy Ying Society and the Fu Society, this is very important, the readers in the Donglin Academy Ying Society and the Fu Society, it is not necessarily said that everyone is an unscrupulous person, there are also many good readers, but they have a strict door, reject the power of the outside world, and they are self-respecting, this cannot be changed, and I don't want to change this situation."
Zheng Jinhong looked at Zheng Xunrui, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Jinhong, I trust you the most, we grew up together, we know the roots, there are some words, I have to sue you, you must be very strange, the Donglin Party has shot several times, why didn't I fight back on a large scale, you have to remember, it's not that I don't want to make a move, let alone afraid of the Donglin Party, a group of readers who bite the text and chew the words and play with power, I don't see it in my eyes, but from the current situation, let's not make a move for the time being."
"The Donglin Party is bent on their own interests, and they are doing mischief in the court, which has nothing to do with us, what we need to do is to do a good job in our own identity and continue to grow our own strength."
"What happened to the displaced people in Shaanxi, you have also seen it, don't think that such a situation will not appear to us, if we don't have enough strength, after encountering the calculations of others, we are also desperate, so we have to rely on ourselves, we must overcome the difficulties of a qiē, develop and grow ourselves, our destiny, have our own decision, do not rely on anyone."
"This is my ultimate goal, you have to remember this, in the future, you will know which is more important, dealing with the Donglin Party, it is not our main task at present, but we will eventually have a showdown with the Donglin Party."
Zheng Jinhong's expression became strict, after such a long time of tempering, he had already matured.
"Jin Hong, Zheng Kaitao has entered the Zheng family army, I'm afraid it won't take long, more Zheng family brothers and nephews will come to Xi'an, your task is to train them strictly, so that they can become the best in the Zheng family army, fight tiger brothers, and go into battle father and son soldiers, this is the experience passed down by the elders, and sometimes it makes sense."
After Zheng Jinhong left, Zheng Xunrui paced back and forth in the house, through eight years, he said his true thoughts for the first time, his purposes, over time, will eventually be exposed, the Ming Dynasty has rotted from the roots, if you want to save this dynasty, it is not tinkering, but a surgical operation, you need to make a big move, to carry out such an operation, he must have strong strength, can decide the strength of a qiē.
