Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 331 Disaster

It's no wonder that Ma Shiying, the governor of Lufeng, had Song Qingshu come by accident. Historically, he was a few years later, and he could not become an official until Zhou Yanru recovered. But this time and space has Song Qingshu, and the situation is different.

Originally, the governor of Lufeng was appointed by Wen Tiren, a scholar of Shoufu University, but he turned out to be a fool and conquered Anqing in one fell swoop. Where is Anqing?Under Luzhou, where is Luzhou?Under Fengyang, the begging army is only two mansions away from Fengyang, which is why the Nanjing navy came to crusade so quickly.

However, the military discipline of the southern soldiers was really lax. Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou finally came out, and they were all transferred to the north. In a big battle, more than 1000 people died, and they didn't even climb up Anqing Bank. Now the imperial army is gathering in the northwest. Jiangnan is empty, if Song Qingshu goes to Fengyang for archaeology on a whim, the governor of Lufeng who has no soldiers in his hands will have to ransack his home and lose his head.

This hot potato was thrown by Wen Tiren to the Donglin Party, and it happened that the Donglin Party owed Ruan Dacheng a favor, so they threw the potato to Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying is considered a capable minister, otherwise he would not be able to stabilize the political situation in Nanming under the precarious situation, and he could unite the Fengyang soldiers by his side and fight until the last moment, but he is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice, and now the imperial court's policy is pouring into the northwest In the northeast, Fengyang doesn't even have the money to rebuild the imperial mausoleum, let alone pay him to recruit troops.

Ruan Dacheng was caught blind by this situation. Fortunately, at this time, his two nephews who were incompetent were very excited to write to him. They established a firm foothold in Xin County and made tens of thousands of taels of silver. Song Qingshu immediately aroused the attention of this pragmatist and The attention of eunuchs and treacherous officials.

Moreover, Song Qingshu's most correct step in politics was to send King Fu back. Why did Li Zicheng lose Beijing so quickly, and lose his great country in an instant? Killing and torture completely cut off the way to cooperate with scholar-bureaucrats, and Song Qingshu returned to King Fu, which showed rationality, at least he was a warrior who could communicate.

Especially after studying the ticket numbers and business names in Xin County, Ruan Dacheng simply slapped his thighs and exclaimed, this is the same kind!So this time Ruan Dacheng proposed this communication plan.

Once Song Qingshu was ordered, and Anqing, who could not be brought back by all the Nanjing naval forces, was brought back, and with enough military support, the governor of Lufeng was out-and-out fat!
To be honest, Ma Shiying didn't like Song Qingshu. On the one hand, he was bragging, and on the other hand, Song Qingshu blackmailed the cannons and warships. What a shame!However, Ma Shiying's characteristic of knowing kindness was revealed again. Although he hated Song Qingshu, he was still able to sneak into the bandit's territory in the middle of the night to talk to Song Qingshu, the leader of the bandit, in person.

Chinese people usually talk about things at banquets. Even if future generations talk about business, they have to drink first. Only when the wine is in place can the order be taken down. This is no exception. Ruan Dacheng turned around first. Although he and Qian Qianyi are friends Right, but he can be regarded as the romantic leader of Jiangnan. Some interesting things about literati are readily available, which makes the atmosphere quite lively. Except for Xiaojiali who is not interested and drowsy, Song Qingshu listens with great interest.

Finally, the atmosphere was almost brewing, just after talking about Li Xiangjun and Hou Fangyu's sneaking, Ruan Dacheng inadvertently asked.

"Marshal, you are now considered to be a wealthy family. The fields are endless, and the wealth is overwhelming. With such a large family business, what are your plans in the future?"

This is finally the meat show. Song Qingshu couldn't help leaning on the back of the chair, smiled, and said casually: "Plan? Life in this world is just passing by. Let's count it as a day. Taking advantage of the imperial army's efforts in the northwest, in the Get more money and food in Anqing City, and hide in Yinghuo Mountain at that time, and you will still have a comfortable life for ten or eight years!"

Song Qingshu's words were worthless, and Ruan Dacheng was a little anxious when he heard it, and couldn't help but quicken his tone, and asked hastily: "Why did the commander make such a statement? From Ruan's point of view, the commander-in-chief's talent may not be inferior to those The princes of the imperial court, the way of managing the world is thousands of times better than those Donglin Party members who only read dry books and admit death, so the commander-in-chief doesn’t want to mess with his future and accumulate some wealth for future generations?”

"Oh? Mr. Ruan is talking about becoming an official, right? Hehe, the officials and titles of the Ming Dynasty are worthless at all, let alone passed on to their descendants. I am afraid that the court will be in trouble within ten years, and it will be dragged down by then. It is not appropriate. .”

"Presumptuous, I have made iron barrels and iron barrels, and tolerated what a thieves and untouchables like you can slander!"

After all, he was a star fan, and Ma Shiying, who had been fighting against Sun Chuanting with a tense face, couldn't help standing up suddenly, pointing at Song Qingshu's nose and cursing, the atmosphere suddenly became stiff.

But at this moment, Ma Shiying yelled at Little Chili and rubbed her eyes. The girl stood up impatiently and muttered.

"Husband and this little official said that I don't understand, so I won't be with you. Don't forget to take me to go to the mountains and lakes tomorrow. I mean what I say, and I will leave first."

After finishing speaking, Little Chili rubbed her eyes arrogantly and went downstairs in a daze. These days, women are almost always supporting, and those who bring to the dinner table like Song Qingshu are regarded as favors. Being rude, Ma Shiying looked even more ugly, and even Ruan Dacheng froze.

However, Song Qingshu still looked like a strict wife, and nodded cheerfully: "When is my husband talking too much, Jiaoer, go slowly, Qiaoer, why don't you hurry up and send your wife back, Zhuzi, you also send a few Individuals follow."

Watching Xiaojiao come down the stairs hugging each other, he laughed dryly, and Ruan Dabeard joked again: "The commander-in-chief is quite fond of his wife."

"Can you not pet me?" Pulling Song Qingshu unexpectedly changed his face, curling his lips with a slightly bitter face.

"This, Lord Fu's daughter, Princess Yunjiao, begs for the living army to sell Huai salt in Henan. The two thousand salts are all given by my father-in-law. Can you pamper me well?"

Song Qingshu said that the wind was light and the clouds were calm, but to Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying's ears, it was no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day. Song Qingshu was actually the son-in-law of King Fu.

They are no strangers to the name Yunjiao Princess. The first thing that King Fu did after he returned to the vassal was to report the news of the death of Princess Yunjiao. Give Song Qingshu, give him Yanyin, support the activities of the beggar army, what does he want to do?rebel?

King Fu has this reason. After all, he is just one step away from the throne of the emperor. These days, the imperial court is with a broken ship that is on fire and leaking below. With the strength of the army and Song Qingshu's commanding ability, it's really hard to say that it's a difficult teacher.

Moreover, Song Qingshu deliberately put Princess Yunjiao in front of the two of them, why?Pull yourself into the water?
Sitting there in astonishment, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng's complexions kept changing, turning black and turning red. They picked up a glass of wine, Song Qingshu drank it with a smile, and immediately leaned lazily on the chair again, full of emotion. It was easy to continue to say those scary words.

"You two think that my father-in-law is going to rebel? Hehe, it's fine if he wants to rebel. He doesn't have the guts. It's just that Luoyang will be lost sooner or later in a few years. Make friends with Song in advance, and the begging army can rescue him then The Fufan family."

"Impossible! Luoyang is a strong city in the world, guarding Heluo..."

"If someone told you five years ago that Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum was dug up, would you believe it?"

Ma Shiying knocked on the table and stood up without even thinking about it. Who knew that Song Qingshu lightly pushed him back with a word, and sat back in the original place in astonishment. Looking at the shocked friend, Ruan Dacheng couldn't help but poke Out of the head.

"Then handsome, what do you think about the world's major events?"

"This world is going to perish, and there are only eight years left!"

Born in Daming, grew up in Daming, the dreamlike world of the Ming Dynasty is indeed rare in China for thousands of years, even decades later, during the Kangxi period, Kong Shangren's peach blossom fan asked about things, and the Jiangnan scholars still burst into tears, At this time, telling them that Ming Dynasty is going to perish, and there are only eight years left, is no less than telling them that the world will end in [-], and Ma Shiying jumped up like a firecracker when he heard it.

"impossible!"

"The Ming Dynasty was full of disasters, the Japanese riots in Jiajing, and the Tumu Fortress. Under such circumstances, we all stood up. What the commander said is a bit sensational, right?"

"That's when Mr. Ruan seldom goes to the Central Plains. Qin land and Ming Dynasty are full of disasters and disasters, but there is no such time as today's natural disasters have continued for more than ten years, and the people have been displaced on such a large scale. It is said that Jiangnan is rich and prosperous. These years, Jiangnan has broken families. Ruan Weng, you saw it with your own eyes. Ruan Weng, why didn’t you think about it? There are also Donglu in the east, and Governor Yuan won a big victory in Ningyuan City. Wasn’t that a streak of defeats after that? Why are these? Have you ever thought about it?"

"And up to now, you officials are still clinging to the benefits you have in your hands, and the people are all fucking poor and selling their sons and daughters, and you still refuse to spend a penny as taxes to support the country. , The majestic southeast salt tax supports tens of millions of people in the empire, but only 100 million taels a year. It is a joke to say it. And Mr. Ma, you feel aggrieved when you dismissed from office. You only took office for more than a month, and you took thousands of taels of government funds to reward officials Gui, the money was originally disaster relief money, soldiers’ salaries, river repair money, and life-saving money. You are like moths sucking blood on this ship of Daming. Now this ship is sinking, even a thief like me It came out, and you still don’t believe it, hehe, it’s really ridiculous.”

Knocking on the table, Song Qingshu sneered all over his face, straightened his body and sneered and hummed. On the opposite side, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng really looked like traitors in operas. Their faces were pale, but they leaned limply on their chairs.
