Chapter 33 The Inside Story of the Assassination

After parting with Qian Ning, Qian Mo and his party came to Qian's Mansion.

Seeing Qian Mo's visit, Qian Qianyi and his wife went to the door to greet them in person.

Qian Mo: "Xin'er has disturbed you a lot in your residence. Qian Mote came to express his gratitude, a little gift to show his heart, and please don't dislike Mu Weng and Mrs. Liu!"

Qian Qianyi said: "I don't know what to say, this Xin'er girl was raised by his wife, she loves mother and daughter, Qian's house is also her natal family, why bother!"

Seeing that Qian Mo didn't have many guards following him this time, Qian Qianyi quickly led Qian Mo to the inner hall.

Qian Mo understood that Qian Qianyi had something to discuss, so he kept Lu Shanhai and Qian An outside.

Seeing that Qian Qianyi still wanted to exchange some pleasantries, Qian Mo fortunately got straight to the point.

Said: "Actually, the shepherd doesn't have to hide it from me, Qian Mo knows that you still care about Daming!"

Qian Mo's straightforward approach caught Qian Qianyi a little by surprise.

Qian Mo knew that Qian Qianyi would never admit Tongming in front of him now, and continued, "I will not hide the truth from Mu Weng and Mrs. Liu. It was Xiaoyin who broke through the two counties of Taicang and Kunshan."

As soon as this remark came out, Qian Qianyi and his wife were very surprised: "Didn't you hear that the Taihu water bandits who attacked the county town have been wiped out by the Qing army, and the head of the bandit leader is still displayed on the city tower?"

Qian Mo said: "That's just a trick to get rid of the golden cicada's shell by borrowing a few heads of water bandits!"

"Does the shepherd want to discuss with Qian Mo how to rob the 500W?"

Now Qian Mo found that Yin Er might have been out of his control, and now that time was running out, there was no time to test each other with Qian Qianyi.

Seeing that Qian Qianyi was still silent, Liu Rushi took up the topic and said, "Don't you know that this is serious?"

Qian Mo said: "At the beginning of the year, Huang Yuqi raised troops in Zhoushan to fight against the Qing Dynasty. The shepherd, Mrs. Liu and Haishang rewarded teachers, and promised to help pay and recruit soldiers. Mo already knew about it. Why should I lie to you?"

"The former Fanmo and Xiaoyin were under the control of Hong Chengchou, and the matter of the 'World Bureau' was also a last resort. As for the theory of "Huaxia Lun", it was also to deepen Dorgon's suspicion of Hanchen, so how could they really use 500W Two dedicated to the Qing court?"

At this time, Qian Qianyi said: "500W taels of silver are indeed crucial to the great cause of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, do you have an idea if you don't know?"

Qian Mo said: "Please tell the truth, the shepherd, is Mr. Jiang Shanmai at your house now?"

"Or I should call him Gu Ning!"

Qian Mo finally remembered that Gu Yanwu (named Ningren) once used the pseudonym "Jiang Shanmaid".

Gu Yanwu, a thinker and scholar in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, was born in Kunshan, South Zhili.At first, he was named Jishen and Jiang, and his style was Ningren. Later, he changed his name to Yanwu, and his style was Ningren.Living in Tinglin Town, scholars respectfully call him Mr. Tinglin.Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, and Wang Fuzhi are collectively known as the Three Masters of the Early Qing Dynasty, and together with Tang Zhen, they are collectively known as the "Four Enlightenment Thinkers" in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

Gu Yanwu is known as the "founding Confucian teacher" and the ancestor of "the founder of the Qing Dynasty". He is a famous classicist, historian and phonologist.He is knowledgeable, and has profound attainments in Confucian classics, historiography, phonology, primary school, Jinshi archaeology, local chronicles, geology, and poetry.He inherited the anti-Confucianism trend of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, not only liquidated Lu Wang's Xinxue, but also showed a very different educational purpose from Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism in many areas such as sex and heaven, principles and qi, Taoism, knowledge and action, and the principles of heaven and human desires.

Gu Yanwu advocated that "knowledge is in writing" and "doing oneself is ashamed".Emphasizes learning to manage the world, from one person to the affairs of the world and the country, one should explore the whole story, and oppose the empty style of study in the late Ming Dynasty.He put forward the famous saying that "those who protect the world are humble and have no responsibility", which was summarized by later generations as "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world".

In the third year of Shunzhi (1646), Gu Yanwu originally planned to go to Fujian to take up the post of the head of Fangsi. When he was about to leave, Lu Zhenfei sent someone to contact him, asking him to contact the "Huaixu hero".Since then, Gu Yanwu "reached the sea in the east, and Wangjiaying (now Huaiyin, Jiangsu Province) in the north, and went back and forth between servants and servants."Historically, Gu Yanwu should have been in Huaibei at this time to contact various anti-Qing forces, but because of Qian Mo's crossing, the "silver donation incident" occurred.Gu Yanwu turned into Jiang Shan's maid again and followed Qian Mo.

Qian Qianyi saw that Qian Mo had already seen through Jiang Shan's identity, so he called out Gu Yanwu.

Gu Yanwu cupped his hands and said like Qian Mo: "I was wanted by the Qing court, so I changed my name and surname to meet the son. I hope you will forgive me!"

Qian Mo said: "Brother Ning, you took the risk of being wanted and came to Qian Mo's side. I'm afraid it's not just to follow Qian Mo to make suggestions?"

"What happened to the assassin in the morning?"

Gu Yanwu: "If you don't know, don't worry, the assassin is one of my own and has no intention of taking your life. I wanted to make an assassination, on the one hand, to make the Qing court less suspicious of you. guard."

"It's just that I didn't expect this Lu Shanhai to kill halfway, and you took advantage of the situation to recruit and set up a pro-barracks, so I can't make any more suggestions."

Qian Mo said: "Master Ning, Hong Chengchou originally transported silver all the way to the north from the canal. Then I proposed to add a sea transport as a suspect. Now it seems that things may have changed."

"Yang Wenqi once sold a large amount of military supplies to my Taihu Rebel Army, and the Taihu Rebel Army even had people who directly maintained contact with their army. The news from the rebel army was that Yang Wenqi was also thinking about the 500W taels of silver. Our original plan was to The silver is loaded on a ship, and then secretly transferred when it arrives in Jiangyin. But if you think about it, if you are Zhou Boda and Xie Sanmu, how can you let the silver be on the ship and not send your confidants to escort it, but let the team stay in Zhenjiang to meet up?"

Qian Qianyi said: "This matter is really unreasonable. Yang Wenqi's troops are not direct troops of Zhou Boda and Hong Chengchou. The only explanation is that the money will never be on the ship, otherwise they would never give the money to Yang Wenqi with confidence."

Qian Mo asked: "The official treasury where the silver is stored, do we have an insider?"

Gu Yanwu said: "The news that the 500W two silvers will enter Beijing has been spread all over the world. One month ago, the Tatars ordered Yangzhou and Huai'an to dredge the canal. When recruiting trackers, we noticed that there are our insiders in the treasury of Nanjing. , People outside the treasury were also sent to watch early in the morning. All the silver has been packed and sealed, and there is no news of leaving the treasury for the time being."
