Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 334
The two institutions with the greatest power in the Ming Dynasty, one is the cabinet composed of civil servants, and the other is the supervisor of ceremonies composed of eunuchs. The cabinet scholars have the right to draw up votes, and all memorials in the world need to be processed by the cabinet scholars first, and the opinions on handling are reviewed. The eunuchs are then presented to the emperor, and the eunuch, the eunuch, has the right to help the emperor deal with setbacks, and the eunuch, the eunuch, drafts the imperial decree on behalf of the emperor Zhubi. To a certain extent, the eunuch has more power than the cabinet Be big.

The guarding eunuch is an expatriate member of the ceremonial supervisor. Although Bingbi under the guarding eunuch is not as powerful as the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, he is also one of the core figures in handling local affairs, and the Nanjing Six Departments are far more important than ordinary guards. , if Jiao Dalin takes this position, it can be said that the Qihuo Army has put on a layer of protective clothing in Nanjing.

Song Qingshu was really ecstatic, holding the table and walking towards Jiao Dalin, but before he could get there, the helplessness and resentment on Jiao Dalin's much older face suddenly came into his eyes.

Dazed for a moment, Song Qingshu finally realized that on the one hand, the poor partner who beggared with him in the past is now prosperous, and he has to work under him. Judging from his face, one can imagine the aggrieved and jealousy; on the other hand, In the Qihuo Army, although he has endured hardships and hardships, there is one thing that is unprecedented, that is dignity, relying on his achievements, Jiao Dalin can stand upright and face any important general in the Qihuo Army, but when he goes to Nanjing , an identity he doesn't want to mention can't be covered up no matter what, eunuch.

No matter how beautiful he is, he is still the emperor's house slave, and he has to be one level lower, the house slave's house slave.

After being stunned for quite a while, Song Qingshu finally shook his head helplessly, waved his hands and said in a dispirited voice: "Forget it, you won't go if you don't like it, anyway, our beggar army can't do without you, you go For that boy Liu Zongmin, the logistics must be messed up."

"Okay, you are tired too, go back and rest first, this time I will remember your old Jiao's first contribution!"

This time it was Jiao Dalin's turn to be stunned. He watched Song Qingshu go back to the desk and study how to march his commercial army into Nanjing City. On the ground, Song Qingshu was startled.

"The commander-in-chief is very kind, and those who survived the sentence will remember it in their hearts. For our begging army, Jiao, is willing to go!"

…………

Although it seems a bit hypocritical, it is true in this era. A little bit of kindness from the superior is enough to make people feel grateful. In fact, it is similar to Xiaojiao. A little respect from Song Qingshu is exchanged for Jiao Dalin's incomparable gratitude. After finishing Song Qingshu, the green-robed eunuch was really like a martyr. He cleaned up and went to Jinling by boat that day.

After this incident, Song Qingshu himself felt a little emotional, but the world is impermanent, and he doesn't have much time to waste on feelings. Not long after feeling emotional, he also hurriedly found Qu Botao and asked him to make plans quickly, how to get rid of it. Jiaduobao store opened in Nanjing.

These days, shopping malls are like battlefields, especially in Nanjing, which is not comparable to small places like Dai County and Xin County, even Anqing, which is the headquarters of the Donglin Party and a place where the literati from the south of the Yangtze River gather. As the political capital of China, this place can be called the cultural center, so people can't help but ignore it.

On February [-]th, in Anqing City, a fairly large commercial fleet was successfully established in Anqing Port. In order to make a name for itself in Stone City, Song Qingshu really spent his blood. , Korean ginseng, deer antler and other medicinal materials, snow fox fur, deerskin, sheepskin and other high-quality leather coats, many northern horses, and almost all the top-grade products produced in Dai County in the ninth year of Chongzhen were all shipped by Song Qingshu. The chief designer of Jiaduobao's clothing store, and his good wife, Li Bao'er, was also called by him from Dai County to Yinghuo, and he will arrive in Anqing in two days.

"My boss, don't worry, Ruan Weng has taken care of the shop front and the land boundary. This time, the little one will definitely set up a golden signboard for our company!"

This is the center of Jiangnan's business!Qu Botao and his old Xier stood at the bow of the boat without getting a foothold in Huizhou, and ran across Guangdong and Guangxi. He said goodbye to Song Qingshu like a general going to war. with.

"Old Qu, just go and let go. After a while, this commander will come to Nanjing in person to be your backup!"

Saying goodbye to Qu Botao, Song Qingshu was also full of solemnity. The plan he formulated was to develop industry and commerce, and use the business class of Ming Dynasty as his political support. Completed the first step of the strategy of connecting the north and the south, and he couldn't afford to ignore it.

They made another bow to each other, and soon Qu Botao's short and thin body stepped into the sailing boat with arrogance and shouted loudly.

"Raise the sails!"

In the Shanxi-flavored chant, more than a dozen Yangtze River galleons loaded with all kinds of rare goods sailed mightily towards the bustling Qinhuai River area.

Song Qingshu said that he wanted to go to Nanjing City in person. It was not false. The form of Jinling was more complicated than any land that the Qihuo Army had experienced. In less than half a month, the Anqing Fort was completely repaired, and the Qianshan Pass in Qianshan was almost completed. When Li Guer came, Song Qingshu packed his luggage again and entrusted Anqing to Sun Chuanting before the husband and wife could reunite. I plan to go out in person, and meet all the gods in Da Ming's accompanying capital for a while.

However, before leaving, an urgent request for help dragged Song Qingshu here.

"Damn it!"

Halfway through reading it, Song Qingshu directly arranged the letter on the table in depression. He was not the only one present, several division commanders, military adviser Sun Chuanting, cavalry officer Xing Hongniang, etc. were all here, looking at Song Qingshu's pale face, everyone People followed suit and all raised their hearts.

"Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, and Lu Xiangsheng, the premier of the five provinces, surrounded the north and the south. Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang led an army of 17 troops from Ruyang to the southeast and approached Luzhou. Ma Shiying, the governor of Lufeng, asked us for help!"

The last time Gao Yingxiang dug up the Fengyang Imperial Tomb, Gao Yingxiang also did a major event that the court could not tolerate. He proclaimed himself emperor. He ordered people to show a banner of the ancient Yuan Zhenlong Emperor and put it in front of the army, formally fighting against the court.

However, in the eyes of Song Qingshu, this is definitely an extremely stupid thing. On the one hand, it raised the rebellion of the refugees to the level of a dynastic confrontation, and turned himself into a thorn in the side of the court. There is room for a confrontation between the two emperors, but it is absolutely life and death. There are no losers, only the dead.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Don't you see it, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the heroes were separated, even Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang, did not dare to become the attention of the world so hastily. He wanted to build a high wall, accumulate food widely, and slowly become the king, before he was called the king. Wang Xiaoming Wang Han Liner, Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui, Han Emperor Chen Youliang, Xia Taizu Ming Yuzhen, Wu Wang Zhang Shicheng, all lost one after another, and the most low-key Zhu Yuanzhang had the last laugh.

Song Qingshu remembers clearly that after Gao Yingxiang dug Chongzhen's ancestral grave and proclaimed himself emperor, he fell apart under the all-out attack of the Ming Dynasty in the second year, and was finally defeated in Ziwu Valley. The capital, as to whether Ling Chi was executed or beheaded, there are several theories in history, and Song Qingshu doesn't know.

But what Song Qingshu didn't expect was that this Gao Yingxiang wanted to die by himself, and he even led the disaster to himself, instead of going to Hanzhong, where he should go in history, he actually went east, straight to Luzhou, and there was still Song Qingshu didn't want to mess with the tens of thousands of troops following Lu Xiangsheng, especially Zu Kuan and Zu Dale's Guan Ning cavalry.

And he was fighting in Luzhou, the defense zone of Ma Shiying, who had just allied with him.

Now things get complicated!

"Hey, what's the big deal for the old horse? It's even better when King Chuang is here. It just so happens that we Gezuo, Qihuo and King Chuang will join forces again, and dig his ancestral grave in Fengyang again. When we threw the emperor's ancestral grave last time, we Lao Ma Not here, but it’s a pity about this matter, now it’s time to catch up!”

Ma Shouying was blunt, and shouted excitedly first, followed by He Yilong, who was also full of excitement and wanted to shout. Who knew his deputy, the reincarnated king Liu Xiyao, hurriedly grabbed his sleeve behind him, looked at Liu Xiyao Shaking his head heavily, Ge Liyan quickly shut his mouth.

Surprisingly, Zuo Jin Wang He Jin, who had always been unhappy with Song Qingshu, kept his mouth shut this time.

On the other side, at the side of the Qihuo Army, Liu Zongmin finally learned a little bit, became the deputy commander, and had a bit of a political mind, so he shook his head solemnly.

"Marshal, I think it's better for us not to make peace with this matter. He Gao Yingxiang is too good at pretending, causing the whole world to attack him. It's at stake. If we make do with him, we will burn ourselves sooner or later. I have already given Fengyang The dog officer has 20 taels of silver, if we beg for living soldiers, we don’t have to work for the dog officer, and that would be to offend the world’s volunteer army.”

Zhou Yuji didn't say a word, he is a real general, everything is waiting for Song Qingshu to make up his mind, he just needs to execute it well, he is the commander-in-chief of the first division of Qihuo, he doesn't open his mouth, Li Tiezhu, Miao Mei, Liu Tichun and others are not good at first Speaking, in his heart, Sun Chuanting is an honest gentleman, and he doesn't like to break the covenant, but the current situation is pressing, and to help Gao Yingxiang, it is easy to draw Lu Xiangsheng's elite army to him, let the beggar army assist Ma Shiying, Lao Huihui, Ge Liyan, etc. I am afraid that the former general of the Peasant Army will not agree, he can't say this, and being an enemy of the Peasant Army all over the world is not good for the begging army.

It happened that he objected to Song Qingshu's going to Nanjing in person, he hesitated for a long time, and Sun Chuanting also said hesitantly.

"Marshal, why don't you sit in Anqing and wait and see what happens!"

"No! The last thing a person who seeks the world should do is wait and see what happens!"

Beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, and his fists were clenched tightly. After a while, Song Qingshu suddenly slammed the table hard, his eyes were red, and he opened his mouth to reject Sun Chuanting's proposal!
