Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 678

At this time, Zhao Daniu was still staying in Shandong.Before the officials sent by Zhao Wen had fully taken over Shandong, Song Hu could not leave Shandong.

It hasn't been long since Shandong was taken down, and the routs, bandits and other threats to public order must be wiped out.

When clearing up these people, Zhao Daniu also sent some Yebushou into Nanzhili.

However, at this time, the people in Nanzhili seemed to pretend that this hadn't happened, and were still drinking and having fun as usual.

Today, the new year is not yet completely over, and Jinling City is still full of joy.

In Wei Guogong's mansion in Jinling City, the contemporary Wei Guogong Xu Hongji sat in Wei Guogong's study, his face was full of sorrow.

Although it is the new year, but he did not feel better because of the new year.

There is a table in front of him, and there is a map of Ming Dynasty on the table.

He looked at Huguang, Shandong, the capital and other places on the map, and kept sighing.

"Shandong was completely lost, and more than half of Huguang was also lost. If there is no accident, within two months, Huguang will definitely be taken by Zhao thief.

In this way, the connection between Nanzhili and the capital was completely severed.I don't know what's going on in the capital now, and whether the thief Zhao has attacked the capital.

If bandits Zhao attacked the capital, even if they sent troops to rescue them, it would be impossible.If thief Zhao hadn't attacked the capital, then his next target would definitely be Nanzhili. "

Xu Hongji looked at the map and muttered to himself sadly.

Xu Hongji is quite conscientious, and he can be regarded as an independent person in history.

Xu Hongji was helpless in the study, but his son Xu Wenjue invited his friends in the famous brothel in Jinling City.

In a box in the largest brothel in Jinling City, "Tingfengguan", Xu Wenjue sat at the head of a table of wine and food.

There were two thin Yangzhou horses sitting on both sides beside him. He hugged each other, and the smile on his face never disappeared from the beginning to the end.

"Little Lord, come, have another drink!" A young scholar sat across from Xu Wenjue, he raised his wine glass and waved at Xu Wenjue.

Xu Wenjue let go of the two Yangzhou skinny horses, picked up the wine glass on the table, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu respects the wine of this prince, of course this prince will take it."

Xu Wenjue drank the wine in his hand and put the glass on the table.

"My son, I heard that you have been concentrating on studying poetry recently. I wonder if there are any good works recently? Let me open my eyes? You also know that this son likes these things the most." Xu Wenjue looked at this brother Liu with a smile.

"Poetry is just a small way, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. Today's sages value essays, so why teach me about poetry. If you want to get fame, you can't rely on poetry alone, but good stereotyped writing. The imperial court values ​​stereotyped writing, not Poetry." Brother Liu replied modestly.

This Liu brother is called Liu Zhumo, 27, and he is a Juren.

He has a good relationship with Zhang Pu, one of the founders of Fushe, and has a good reputation in Jinling City.

Although Zhang Pu has made great contributions to literature, he is not a good person.

Zhang Pu's most famous article in history is the "Tombstone of Five People".

During the Tianqi period, Wei Zhongxian arrested the suspect Zhou Shunchang in Suzhou City. The local gentry encouraged the local people to rebel and openly resisted the men sent by Wei Zhongxian, which triggered a riot in Suzhou City.

In this riot, in order to protect the local people, five people surrendered themselves, in exchange for a way out for the people of Suzhou City.

But is this really the case?Is the fact really to prevent Wei Zhongxian from arresting Zhou Shunchang?

If there was only one Zhou Shunchang, would the gentry in Suzhou City spend so much money to directly incite the whole city to fight against the imperial court?

The main purpose of the gentry in Suzhou City was not Zhou Shunchang at all, but to resist taxes.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan and other places had developed commerce, and these gentry made a lot of money by smuggling.

However, after these people became rich, they never thought about the country at all, they only thought about themselves.

They don't want to pay the business tax they should have paid, and the emergence of the Donglin Party has an inseparable relationship with them.

The south did not pay taxes, and relying on the silver obtained from the fields in the north, it simply could not afford the huge military expenses for the establishment of slaves.

Why did Wei Zhongxian deal with the Donglin Party, why did he dare to deal with the Donglin Party so unscrupulously?Is it all because of Wei Zhongxian?Without the support of Emperor Tianqi, would Wei Zhongxian dare to kill court officials so recklessly?
Soon after that riot, Emperor Tianqi fell into the water inexplicably, and then died suddenly inexplicably. Is there really nothing to do with it?

On the surface, the riot was to resist the arrest of Zhou Shunchang by Wei Zhongxian's men, but in fact it was really to resist taxes.

However, Zhang Pu shamelessly distorted the facts, and even beautified the matter with a piece of "Tombstone of Five People", belittling the court for nothing.

What he belittled was not Wei Zhongxian, but the court.

Zhang Pu also became famous because of this "Tombstone of Five People", and he has vaguely become the head of scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.

This Liu Zhumo also has a relatively good reputation in Jinling City because of his good relationship with Zhang Pu.

Like Zhang Pu, this Liu Zhumo is not a good guy. He flatters and flatters him all day long, mainly flattering Xu Wenjue.

"The imperial court? Alas, the imperial court is full of disasters and disasters." When Xu Wenjue heard Liu Zhumo talking about the imperial court, he pretended to shake his head and sighed a few times.

"I heard that Zhao's troops have already captured Shandong, and they are about to take Huguang. You say, when will Zhao's army attack Nanzhili? What should we do if he attacks? Shandong is captured by Zhao. If the thieves take it down, we will completely lose contact with the capital, if the capital is lost at this time, what should we do?"

At this moment, a scholar who was about the same age as Liu Zhumo spoke up.

When Xu Wenjue heard this, his brows were tightly wrinkled together, with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

Liu Zhumo observed his words, and hurriedly scolded: "The New Year is not over yet, what are you talking about on the day of great joy? Bandit Zhao is just a stubborn moss, what is there to be afraid of?"

After being scolded by Liu Zhumo, this scholar had no desire to eat anymore.

"My lord, I'm sorry, I still have some things to do, so I'm sorry." The scholar stood up, cupped his hands at several people, and then retreated.

"I don't know how to flatter you!" Seeing the back of the scholar leaving, Liu Zhumo cursed secretly.

Liu Zhumo turned his head and put on a flattering expression, "My lord, Che Ruize's family is like the stones in the latrine, smelly and hard, so you don't have to worry about it."

"What a disappointment!" Xu Wenjue cursed, and then exchanged cups with Liu Zhumo with a smile.

Che Ruize walked out of the brothel and walked on the streets of Jinling City.

Although Che Ruize often hangs out with Liu Zhumo, but unlike Liu Zhumo, this person still has the most basic conscience.

"Hey, Jinling City is full of happy people. How can there be any sense of crisis? Now Zhao Bandit has taken Shandong, and Huguang is about to be captured by Zhao Bandit. Half of the entire country has been lost.

It's true that a business woman doesn't know the hatred of subjugation, and she still sings flowers in the backyard across the river. "Che Ruize shook his head and walked towards his home.

Not long after, Che Ruize came to his home.

Che Ruize's father used to be a servant in Jinling's household department. Although it is a place for the elderly, it is quite famous in Jinling City.

Moreover, the Che family is also a wealthy businessman in Jinling City.

"Father!"

After Che Ruize returned home, he saw his father sitting in the hall entertaining guests.

Che Ruize greeted his father and returned to his room.

When night fell, Che Ruize walked out of his room and into the hall.

At this time, Che Ruize's father had just sent away the guests.

"Why do I think you're depressed? What's the matter?" Che Ruize's father looked at Che Ruize who was walking over, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Father, I attended a banquet today, which belongs to the young master." Che Ruize said.

Xu Wenjue is the only person in Jinling City who can be called a little prince, so Che Ruize's father also knows that Che Ruize is referring to Xu Wenjue.

"What's wrong?" Che Ruize's father asked.

"Father, it's like this!" Che Ruize came to his father and told the whole story.

"Father, Bandit Zhao has already captured half of the country, and the court is at stake, but now Jinling City has no sense of crisis from top to bottom. This is really unreasonable." Che Ruize said with a frown.

"Haha!" Che Ruize's father laughed out loud after hearing what Che Ruize said.

"Why is father laughing?" Che Ruize looked at the laughing father with doubts on his face.

"Why are you laughing? I said you are too young. Come to the study with me, and my father will sort out the things here for you." After Che Ruize's father said, he stood up and walked outside .

Che Ruize followed his father into the study.

Che Ruize's father closed the door of the study, sat in the study, and looked at Che Ruize standing opposite him.

"Who do you think this world belongs to?" Che Ruize's father didn't answer Che Ruize's question directly, but asked some questions like this first.

"It's His Majesty's world!" Che Ruize replied tentatively.

"No!" Che Ruize's father shook his head, "This world is not his Emperor Zhu's world, this world is the world of the people of the world, and it is also the world of us gentry.

It is a foregone conclusion that Zhao Wenping ruled the whole world, and sooner or later he will rule the world.Zhao Wen's current opponent is the imperial court, not us.

For those of us, it's just another emperor, so there's nothing to worry about. "

Che Ruize's father didn't have any worries, as if changing an emperor was as simple as eating and drinking.

"Zhao Wen is not a foreigner outside the customs, what's the big deal!" Che Ruize's father said indifferently.
