Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 462 The Aggrieved Xiong Wencan
"What you said is not unreasonable. The so-called wilderness is just a lack of people to develop it. In the pre-Qin period, the state of Chu was still a group of savages, and the state of Yue and Wu were short-lived. Isn't Jiangdong now one of the most prosperous areas?" Fujian Governor Shen Youlong agreed with Li Yu's words.

"Let's not discuss immigration for the time being. What do you think of Nanming Fuwang's regime?" Li Yu asked about Shen Youlong's choice.

At this time, Shen Youlong must stand in line.It is very difficult for Fujian, which is narrow and hilly, to separate one side. It is necessary to choose between King Fu and the Kyushu Army.

"Fu Wang Zhu Changxun is a close respecter, does the court respect him with courtesy, but he closes his pavilion all day long to drink alcohol, loves only women, singing and dancing, and is indifferent to the chaos of the outside world, so he is not a wise king." Shen Youlong said, "He The fiefdom was in Luoyang. Later, Li Zicheng invaded Heluo and fought fiercely with Hong Chengchou. King Fu crossed the south of the Yangtze River and fled to Nanjing City. Only then did he survive. But its foundation was not in Jiangdong, it was just a pawn manipulated by others. The Ming Dynasty was powerless after all. "

"Then your Excellency means..." Li Yu's expression changed.

"All officials and people in Fujian are willing to submit to the Kyushu Army and conspire for great things." Shen Youlong hesitated for a few seconds, and finally expressed his thoughts.

Xiong Wencan, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, also received the surrender document from the Nanming regime.His face was uncertain, he stood up and sat down one after another hesitantly, as if he had encountered something difficult to make a decision.

"Hey, what the hell is going on in the north? Why did the capital fall as soon as it said it would fall, and it changed hands twice? This is really the absurdity of the world!" Xiong Wencan threw the document on the desk angrily, and walked around in the study angrily. .

Xiong Wencan really couldn't believe why the northern war situation could be eroded so quickly.And the whole world is in chaos.The Kyushu Army is entrenched outside the Guan and near the capital, and there are remnants of the Dashun Army in Shanxi, Heluo, and northern Shaanxi. The words of officials, the will of these local governors determine the direction of a province and a government.

In other words, after the fall of the Ming court, he, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, seemed to have become the leader of a local force without a boss.Without the management of the six ministries of the imperial court, no one can control him.Xiong Wencan can choose to be loyal to the Nanming court, which claims to be orthodox, or even rise up and separate himself from one side.

However, Xiong Wencan has no intention of becoming an independent power, and it is impossible to take refuge in the Nanming court.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but outside Guangzhou, the warships of the Nanyang Fleet have blocked the Huangpu River and the Pearl River Estuary, and the soldiers from the mountain battalion originally stationed in Yizhou have also been dispatched to the Guangdong Customs Building, a stone building under construction in Guangzhou. nearby.Obviously, the actions of the Kyushu Army were threatening Xiong Wencan, so that Xiong Wencan could only feel aggrieved and dare not act rashly.

"I, Xiong Wencan, was determined to serve the country and the people, cultivate one's morality, regulate one's family, govern the country and the world. I did not expect to meet the Kyushu Army, and they also have a special liking for the ocean. They come from far away in southern Liaoning, and they are always in trouble for me. Is it Kyushu? Is the army my nemesis?" Xiong Wencan sighed to himself.

Speaking of which, since Deng Qianlong's Nanyang Fleet forcibly occupied the fort of Guangzhou Mansion and settled outside of Guangzhou Mansion, Xiong Wencan has been constrained everywhere. He seems to be the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who speaks his mind in the local area, but in fact he must take into account the feelings of the Kyushu Army no matter what he does.Even the restored Guangdong Shipping Department was emptied out by the Guangdong Customs established by the Kyushu Army.The land where the Kyushu Army built the Guangdong Customs Building was all forcibly seized from the Guangdong Shipbuilding Department.Xiong Wencan could only protest symbolically, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the soldiers of the Kyushu Army were in the city, and if they were provoked to attack the city of Guangzhou in an all-out way, it is estimated that more than [-] people would die.

"Your Excellency of the Kyushu Army, this is the Yamen of Guangzhou Prefecture, and the backyard is the residence of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. You are not allowed to trespass..." In the front hall, there were servants anxiously blocking the uninvited guests who wanted to enter the backyard.

Seeing this movement, Xiong Wencan made a bitter face.It goes without saying who is coming.

When Xiong Wencan walked out of the study, he saw Deng Qianlong, who was beaming with joy, coming to look for him.

"Why is it you again? What's the matter with you?" Xiong Wencan was really helpless for this stunned young man with a heavy soldier in his hand.

Moreover, Deng Qianlong always bullied him, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, on behalf of the Kyushu Army, making it look like the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was a tenant working for the Kyushu Army.But Xiong Wencan didn't dare to provoke them, this is the most annoying thing.He could only swallow his anger and said to Deng Qianlong.

"Brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time. This time I came to drink with you. You don't know how boring the life in this barracks is." Deng Qianlong said with a smile and clicked his tongue.

"Long time no see? It's clear that you came and walked away with my long-cherished daughter Hong two days ago!" Xiong Wencan pointed.

"Hahaha, bro, I feel ashamed, that's why I came to make up for you! Someone, bring me the fine imperial wine 'Taixibai'." Deng Qianlong waved his hand, and soon a few soldiers seemed to be applauding Bring over two jars of wine like a baby.

Deng Qianlong said at the side: "This Taixibai is the spoils that the military lord seized from the imperial wine room in the palace, and it was given to me along with the boat going south. But drinking alone is inevitable, so it's better to find a confidant and get drunk."

"The royal wine in the palace..." Xiong Wencan's face was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum.

It was obvious that the imperial court was overthrown, and the royal wine in the palace that the Kyushu army could seize was used to drink with him, an old minister of the Ming Dynasty. This was obviously to embarrass him.

"Come, come, let's see the difference between the wine the emperor drank and what we usually drink." Deng Qianlong turned his back on customers and sat in the pavilion in the backyard, pouring the wine on his own.

Although Xiong Wencan was aggrieved, he could only sit down helplessly like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

"I heard that you, Guangdong and Guangxi, in Nanjing City, have sent a letter calling for security. I hope that Guangdong and Guangxi can support the Nanming regime and restore the Ming Dynasty. Is there such a thing?" Deng Qianlong asked suddenly.

Xiong Wencan sat upright, realizing that this was Deng Qianlong's real purpose for coming here.This is testing his attitude towards the Nanming regime.

"It's true. It's just that King Fu is in power. We are far away in Guangzhou, three thousand miles away from Nanjing City. We can't reach it." Xiong Wencan picked up the royal wine in the palace, and there was a mellow aroma coming from the tip of his nose. He still couldn't help but take a sip .

"If you are too late, don't be too late. You must know that it will not end well if you join forces with King Fu. Since I have been stationed in Guangzhou Mansion for several months, I have gotten along best with you, brother. I don't want your head to fall to the ground." Deng Qianlong played with the porcelain in his hand. Cup, sighed.

It's a naked threat!Xiong Wencan heard Deng Qianlong's implication.
