"Whether it is the Donglin Party or the Eunuch Party, they are all raccoon dogs. After the party, no matter whether it is a good official or a bad official, the selfishness of the party is the most important. If the officials of the Ming Dynasty all want to be like Lu Gong, the disaster of party strife should not exist. It is precisely because of this that Lu Gong prides himself on being the Donglin Party, but there are few protégés and former officials in the Donglin Party, but he is close to Zhou Ge, the opponent of the Donglin Party. ”

In the study, Liu Suifeng and Zhai Zhe were discussing the recent world situation.

It has been a month since Zhai Zhe returned from Dongyang, and the weather has gradually turned colder, and the pages of a maple tree outside the courtyard have turned from green to gray, then to dark yellow, and finally become like a burning fire, floating on the ground with the wind. Although the maple forest here is beautiful, it is not as gorgeous as Chenjiazhuang.

Chenjiazhuang is now in charge of Geng Zhu, after Zhai Zhe lost power, Geng Guang and Geng Zhu father and son refused to go south with Zong Mao, and heard that Ye Tinggui, the governor of Datong, made Zong Mao angry. When Zhai Zhe heard about it, he laughed at it, he would continue to move forward, those who could keep up would stay by his side, and those who couldn't keep up had their own places to go.

The winter moon has arrived, and the cold of Hangzhou Mansion is nothing compared to the Monan grassland, Zhai Zhe wore a jacket, and Liu Suifeng only wore a thin cotton coat.

"Of course, so the current emperor resolutely does not use the Donglin Party, Zhang Pu is not a fool, only by supporting Zhou Ge Lao can he have a chance." Liu Suifeng mixed in Jiangnan for a few months, and his once withered yellow face slowly became moisturized.

"In your opinion, does Elder Zhou Ge have a chance this time?" Zhai Zhe likes to listen to Liu Suifeng's analysis of the political situation in the Ming Dynasty, and he has this staff, which is not inferior to a strong army.

"There are no absolutes in the world, but this time I dare to say that Zhou Ge has always been taken advantage of by Zhang Pu." Liu smiled with the wind and squeezed out the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. No matter how nourishing he is, he can't erase the traces he once left in the camp of thieves.

"After the elder Wen Ge was demoted, Xue Guoguan didn't know how to advance or retreat, those people in the cabinet were old and weak, and Yang Sichang would have some chances if he killed the thieves, otherwise it would be the general trend for Zhou Ge to enter the cabinet, is there a more suitable person than him in the world of the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhai Zhe got up and walked to the window, looked at the bare hillside outside, and suddenly said after a while: "Zuo Ruo has already connected with Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng of the thieves. Zhang Xianzhong was in a very bad situation after being defeated by Zuo Liangyu, if it weren't for the fact that I knew that Yang Sichang would be defeated, he would definitely push him in the back. ”

For Lu Xiangsheng's death, most of the responsibility goes to Yang Sichang, who is the most unforgivable person in Zhai Zhe.

"The northern border of the Ming Dynasty is a mud pit, and no one can climb out of it." Liu Suifeng sneered, "The Ming Dynasty has gone crazy up and down, if you don't get slapped hard, these people won't wake up." ”

Daming is a mud pit, Zhai Zhe initially succeeded in the grassland, and his understanding of Daming's situation is far less profound than Liu Suifeng's, and he has only slowly understood it in recent years. The scourge of the Ming Dynasty is the scourge of the scholars, the scholars control the government and the wealth, and anyone who wants to take a little benefit from them will be drowned by the saliva in the sky. For example, the Jin merchants in the north and the maritime merchants in the southeast can only earn some work outside the country. Everywhere the land was in the hands of the gentry, who did not pay taxes.

"The north of the Yangtze River is the land of the four wars, if the owner falls there, the thieves in Shaanxi are not familiar with the adults, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court have no friendship with the adults. Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and Lao Huihui have been old friends for more than ten years, and that circle can't be squeezed into outsiders. Zuo Liangyu occupied Chu land and didn't want to move his nest, and all other places were not a battle. It was wise for adults to choose to stay in Jiangnan. ”

Liu Suifeng didn't understand Zhai Zhe's decision at first, but now it seems that this decision is the best choice, and then said: "The Donglin Party can use it, but it can't be with it. ”

"Of course!" Zhang Pu, who was in the restoration society, never took Zhai Zhe seriously, took his money and looked at him with white eyes, but Zhou Yanru made Zhai Zhe feel closer.

In the middle of the month, Fan Yi took his son along the canal to Hangzhou, and Zhai Zhe personally went to the Watergate Wharf to greet him. Shangmeng's business this year is acceptable, and it is inseparable from Fan Yi's mediation in the family. In previous years, it was almost cost-free for Shangmeng to take fur from the grassland, and this year there will be no such good thing. Fan Yongdou and Zhai Tang looked at Zhai Zhe and Fan Yi's face, and sold 3,000 furs to Shang Meng at the price of Datong Mansion, so that Shang Meng could barely make ends meet.

As soon as Zhai Tianjian saw his father, he pounced, and Zhai Zhe reached out to hold him into his arms. Fan Yi was pale and got off the boat with the support of Lu Ying, the first time the northerners took a boat, it was inevitable that this would happen, some people adapted quickly, some people adapted slowly, and the wind was strong in winter, Fan Yi almost didn't vomit the bile all the way.

Zhai Zhe was distressed, and ordered the sedan chair driver to step forward and personally help Fan Yi into the sedan chair, and Lu Ying followed a sedan chair behind her, and walked leisurely to the house on the outskirts of Hangzhou in the cold wind. Ulan and Wen Ying were ready to greet them, and Fan Yi's tired body struggling saw the son born to Ulan, no matter what these people thought in their hearts, the family was at least happy on the surface.

In the cold wind, there were few pedestrians on the official road, and only the caravans of the merchant alliance were endless.

After inviting Lu Xiangtong to join the Shang Alliance, the caravan was much smoother than other people. Lu Xiangtong has been managed by Lu Xiangsheng for seven or eight years, and has a wide range of contacts in Jiangnan.

Zuo Ruo and Meng Kang were ordered by Zhai Zhe to pick out 600 loyal and capable soldiers to arrive in Hangzhou in batches, and hid in batches the industries purchased by the merchant alliance in various places, half of which hid in the tea mountain purchased by the merchant league in Dongyang County, Jinhua Prefecture. Zhai Zhe needed a helper in Jiangnan, and it was more reassuring for him to transfer Zuo Ruo to his side than to put him thousands of miles away. As for Meng Kang, Zhai Zhe was worried that Feng Qin would not be able to control him after Zuo Ruo left, and it was completely incidental to him.

Yuan Qizhou came to Zuo Ruo to listen to the order, and at the same time brought dozens of Tianxiong soldiers who were originally from Jiangnan.

To the east of Jinhua Mansion is Taizhou Prefecture, the poorest place in eastern Zhejiang. Seventy percent of the territory is mountainous, facing the sea on one side, and only by relying on the sea can we make a living. Zhu Dabiao, Xu Du's most powerful assistant, braved the cold wind and took a few strange Han people around the Taizhou Haimen guard.

Most of the people here make a living by going to sea to fish, but of course there are also people who go to sea to do business, or do some business that does not cost money.

Zhu Dabiao is obviously very familiar with this area, he is a famous person in the green forest, but he does not do business in the sea.

"Yang Zhigao! Someone is looking for you! A fishmonger shouted in the cold wind.

A man with rough skin and a messy head turned his head, his right ear cut off in half, but his eyes were focused. Zuo Ruo only glanced at him, and then recognized him.

"This person used to be a well-known maritime merchant in Taizhou, who often traveled to the East, and I heard that Nanyang had also been there, and four years ago he was overturned by a storm at sea, and he became impoverished and had to make a living from fishing. Several pirates on the border of Zhejiang had friendships with him, and he was reluctant to invite him to join the gang, so half of his ear was cut off. ”
