Zhang Pu and Zhang Qiandu, who was born in Taicang, Jiangsu, is the most powerful "stormtrooper captain" under the Donglin Party, the founder of the Fushe, and the most famous "scholar leader" in the world during the Chongzhen period. This person had already done countless major things before he had passed the imperial examination, from organizing riots to storming the yamen, as well as setting fire to the city and beating officials, and so on, and the intensity of his battles was definitely no less than that of the May Fourth Movement in later generations.

-- Zhang Pu was born poor, but he was young and studious, and was known as a prodigy. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1622), he began to form an association to comment on current affairs, and won fame, at first it was named Yingshe (imperial examination group), and later changed to Fushe (imperial examination reexamination group), with a maximum of more than 3,000 members; In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, he participated in the anti-tax riots in Suzhou, wrote "The Tombstone of Five People", denounced the eunuchs, and moved the world; In the first year of Chongzhen, he "organized the masses" to expel Gu Bingqian, the backbone of the eunuch party, and since then he has become the emperor superstar among the scholars in the world! Since then, the momentum of the resumption of the society has also shaken the government and the opposition, known as "the gathering of spring and autumn, the road is well-dressed", and "when you come out of the city, everyone knows that there are people who have been restored". Its influence spreads throughout the northern and southern provinces, and everywhere it goes, there are thousands of empty alleys and countless fans.

If this is just the case, then this Zhang Pu is at most extraordinary in speech ability, which is equivalent to the level of Martin Luther King Jr. in the United States in later generations. But the terrible thing is that Zhang Pu is not only extremely fanatical in politics, but also very ambitious and skillful. After becoming famous, he refused to go out step by step to get promoted to the top of the ranks, but tried to ascend to the sky in one step, by recruiting disciples to control the intellectual circles and control the scientific field, and finally achieve the goal of swaying the political power - and once really let him succeed! Even Zhou Yanru, the head of the dynasty, was pinched by him and had to obey. Once, Zhang Pu even directly gave Zhou Yanru a booklet, which was full of names, some wanted to be useful, and some wanted to be dismissed, but Zhou Yanru actually did everything and did not dare to disobey at all.

Think about it, a mere "non-governmental person" who does not have any actual position can remotely manipulate the decision-making of the court at home, decide on the appointment and dismissal of officials, and regard the great future as a plaything in the palm of his hand...... This kind of arrogance and ability, which student cadre in the modern world can do it? Control the court in the countryside and rule the world as an idler...... Zhang Pu can get to such a level outside the court, which is unprecedented.

Of course, it is said that Zhang Pu was assassinated by Zhou Yanru or some other bigwig who couldn't bear it because he was too arrogant......

Obviously, for Donglin Party officials such as Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian, Zhang Pu, a small character who was funded and supported by them with money, is almost equivalent to an unfamiliar mad dog...... Not to mention anything else, just looking at this guy sitting in front of him in a big way at this time, arguing with himself, the governor of Fujian, Zou Weilian couldn't help but feel full of tiredness - you Zhang Pu Zhang Qiandu is only thirty years old, and he just passed the imperial examination last year, and he is only a mere scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and now he is still idle at home because of filial piety, how dare he be so presumptuous in front of me, a feudal official?! Even in terms of age, the old man is twenty years older than you! Where have all the humility and etiquette gone?

But tired and crooked, thinking of this guy's current terrifying reputation and tens of millions of fans, as well as the looming Donglin bigwigs behind this visit, no matter how unhappy Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian, was displeased, he had to be patient and listen to this guy's chatter in his ear:

“…… Those of my generation who study need to promote righteousness for heaven and earth! Even if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, how can you not think about national affairs?! In recent years, natural disasters have continued in various provinces, with the northwest flowing in all directions, and the provinces of Shanxi and Shanxi being eroded; Liaodong Jiannu was rampant, and the Beijing division was shocked overnight; Shandong, Henan, and Beizhili are also in constant turmoil, and there are even traitors and villains in the court, forcing the Donglin gentleman to go to the wilderness. There are also Australian thieves who crossed the ocean and came by big iron boats, and set up a village to defend themselves on the high ground of Qiongzhou Prefecture, build cities and pave roads, and recruit troops and horses...... cough, buying ships, smuggling commercial goods, colluding with traitors and martial artists from Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and plundering the population, its power is not to be underestimated. The current situation is already unstable, and if there are any more thieves from the south who take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, it is really unimaginable! ”

In the small flower hall of the governor's yamen, Zhang Pu held a teacup in his hand and talked so eloquently, "...... Nowadays, the thieves in Qiongzhou are in cahoots with the wolves of Huangshi in southern Fujian, colluding with each other inside and outside, harming the good people and the common people to enrich themselves, and they are getting bigger and bigger. We can only strike first, announce to the world to crusade against the thief in Huangshi, eradicate the Funing army, and cut off the arms of the thief, so that we can get rid of the great trouble of the southern provinces, and protect the society and the people......"

“…… Ahem, dryness! As you just said, now that the Central Plains is swinging, the rogues are swarming, the southwest rebellion is undecided, the Guanning army is newly defeated, and the Liaodong Tartars are arrogant for a while. ”

Regarding these empty words, which were completely divorced from reality, Fujian Governor Zou Weilian rolled his eyes when he heard it, but it was not easy to attack, so he had to persuade patiently, "...... Huangshi's bureaucracy did support the army in Fujian and did a lot of illegal deeds, but he didn't pull the flag to rebel, and the taxes in Fujian could be almost paid, at best, it was a little more domineering, and it was just like Li Chengliang in Liaodong in the past.

As for the thieves entrenched in Qiongzhou, they did have fought a few battles with the officials and soldiers, but according to what I heard, the Australian has now accepted the appeasement, and since then he has not stolen, robbed, killed or plundered, did not kill officials and did not attack the city, paid taxes according to the rules and regulations, paid food on time, and did not seem to have much intention of being enemies with the imperial court except for doing some business...... Zheng Zhilong, the leader of the Haikou before, was rampant in the Fujian Sea, did many evils, and broke through countless states and counties, and Xiong Du (Xiong Wencan) was still able to appease him and entrust him with important tasks. Why is it so calculating now, and can't tolerate a group of thieves who are located in remote areas and do business? ”

-- As for the "encirclement and suppression of thieves and returning home with a great victory" played by the Guangdong side before, the Australians could only retreat in the "high city," which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and did not dare to come out...... Those are all bastards who specialize in fooling the emperor, and among them who are well-informed and understandable, don't mention it.

“…… You can't say that, my lord! That Huangshi not only colluded with thieves, but his heart could be punished. Last year, this thief even went out to Japan without authorization, not only did he send troops without an order, he left the garrison without permission, but he also attacked the 'country of non-conquest' designated by Taizu, which is enough to be a great crime of rebellion! And although Qiongzhou is remote, it is also the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and overseas thieves support troops in Qiongzhou to defend themselves, do not listen to the teachings of the saints, and make the atmosphere of the world unlikely, like this......"

“…… Alas, why is the dryness so demanding?! If there is peace and turmoil in the Central Plains today, it is already very good that we can keep a peaceful and peaceful place in the south. Besides, the Francos occupied the trench back then, and they haven't left so far, but they haven't made any big trouble. ”

Zou Weilian couldn't help but interrupt Zhang Pu's words, "...... If there are many events today, are there still fewer things for martial artists? In the north, I heard that some officials and soldiers took advantage of the time to beg for thieves to slaughter the county seat and kill the county order, but no one pursued it later! Compared to this, Huangshi's rebellious behavior is nothing. Moreover, now there are also bandits in Fujian Province, and it is inseparable from the Funing army to guard the border and the people - the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and Qiandu must also understand it! Moreover, the Qiongzhou Mansion is under the control of Guangdong, even if it is necessary to send troops to fight against the thieves, it is not about Fujian, so why bother to come to Fuzhou to chatter? ”

“…… Ahem, my lord, the original intention of the next is not to ask Fujian to violate the imperial court system and launch a large army to expedition to Qiongzhou. ”

Zhang Pu hurriedly explained, "...... However, Huangshi, this thief, really can't be tolerated, and asks the lord to send an official letter quickly, seize his military power, disperse his subordinates, and cut down such rebellious feudal towns for the country. The princes of Donglin will also support the adults in the north and south capitals, and praise Zou Gong's loyalty and righteousness......"

“…… Qiandu's words are really Meng Lang! All the departments under Huangshi's command are all his cronies who have followed him in the Liaodong campaign for many years, and they have always only had the main generals in their eyes, and there is no imperial court. Xiong Du couldn't take this generation in the past, where can he get a document from the governor's yamen? ”

Zou Weilian sighed and said, "...... And the Funing Army not only monopolizes the benefits of sea trade, but also has overseas thieves who think it is Austrian aid, and there are many brave men under it, and there are no less than 30,000 soldiers who can fight! Even if the troops of Fujian Province are exhausted, it will be difficult to be an enemy of it. If you take risks rashly, you really have no chance of winning. If the event fails, it will inevitably provoke the southern army to connect and the jade will be burned, is it a good thing? What's more, today's cabinet is a traitorous minister, and the Donglin gentleman is gone, and the trend of evil not being able to defeat good has been achieved. The new first assistant Wen Tiren has always hated the old man, once the incident happens, most of them will fall into the ground, and the situation will only get worse! ”

(Ancient literati generally did not directly call people by their first names when they were talking, except when they were swearing.) ）

Speaking of this, Zou Weilian was almost pleading, "...... Qiandu, this official is not unaware of the great changes in the current situation, the traitorous party in the DPRK and China has gained power, and the princes of Donglin are in a critical situation. But at this time of internal and external difficulties, our generation of righteous people and gentlemen should be calm, and would rather lie dormant for a while. Don't take any tiger and wolf medicine for the sake of a momentary pleasure, and finally cause a monstrous disaster! ”

In short, no matter how Zhang Pu talked about lotus flowers and threatened and lured, Governor Zou Weilian was determined to go back, and refused to rashly attack Huangshi and the "Australians" in Fujian, and used the Donglin bigwigs in Jiangnan as a pathfinder cannon fodder for bringing their own dry food to death.

In the end, when Zhang Pu had no choice but to leave, Zou Weilian couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart that this level had finally passed again.

However, he didn't notice the ruthless look that flashed in Zhang Pu's eyes before he said goodbye and left......

- Don't forget, this benevolent brother looks like a humble gentleman, but in fact, he is a super murderer who has always done anything to kill officials and burn officials......
