Nanming Yiming

Chapter 51 Goal
At present, the Taihu Volunteer Army can be said to be united as one, with high morale.

Now that everything is ready, the only thing left is Dongfeng. This "dongfeng" is to find a suitable target and use victory to consolidate the morale of the army and Qian Mo's personal prestige.

Xia Wanchun reported to everyone the information collected in the past few days:

The first is the movements of Ma Guozhu, the governor of Henan and the two rivers. According to reliable information, Ma Guozhu has already reported to Beijing, and all the 500 taels of silver have sunk into the Yangtze River.

Qian Mo said: "This is also reasonable. If Ma Guozhu is said to be robbed by Yang Wenqi, the Qing court will definitely order him to recover it. If he can't get the money back at that time, he will be causing trouble for himself."

Qian Mo's previous design to frame Yang Wenqi was just to cut off Yang Wenqi's retreat from continuing to serve the Qing Dynasty.

Then Bashan led the Eight Banners stationed in Nanjing to move from Zhenjiang to Suzhou, including 3000 people from the Eight Banners, 2000 from the Mongolian Eight Banners, 3000 from the Eight Banners of the Han Army, plus 2000 people from the Chongming Green Camp, a national treasure that was originally left in Suzhou.

Suzhou now has 1W soldiers alone, and most of them are the main force of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia.

In addition, Jiangnan Admiral Zhang Tianlu led 5000 green battalions in Wusong, and Zhejiang Admiral Tian Xiong personally led 5000 green battalions in Songjiang.

Now the two prefectures of Su and Song are the main forces of the Qing army, with no fewer than 2 soldiers.

Everyone was shocked, if this force attacked Chongming, Zhang Mingzhen's Ming army might not be able to resist it at all.

Qian Mo said: "It seems that Ma Guozhu panicked, Chong Mingming's army is powerful, he was afraid of Su Song's loss, so he transferred all the elite from Nanjing to the Su Song area overnight, even Tian Xiong's troops from Zhejiang were also seconded. "

"There are advantages and disadvantages to this. The disadvantage is that the Qing army in the Susong area is too strong, and the pressure on our Taihu rebel army will inevitably increase."

"The positive side is that Nanjing and Hangzhou are currently empty of troops. If Jin Shenghuan in Jiangxi raises troops, it will be difficult for the Qing army to mobilize heavy troops for defense. My Taihu Rebel Army just took advantage of the emptiness of the Qing army in Zhejiang, so we can develop in the Tianmu Mountain area."

"It's only been a few days, and my rebel army's intelligence is so timely and accurate?"

"It seems that I, the governor of the Taihu Rebel Army, should reward Xiaoyin well!"

Xia Wanchun said: "I don't dare to take the credit, this is all passed down by Qian Ning."

According to Qian Ning: "That Liu Yichen is very good. He opened the Zuixian Tower in Suzhou in just a few days. Not only is the business booming, but he has also heard a lot of news. This time, the situation of Zhang Tianlu and Tian Xiong was obtained by Liu Yichen." .”

"The information about Nanjing came from Qian Qianyi, his wife and Huang Sanpang. By the way, Miss Xin'er will return to Taihu Lake soon!"

Qian Mo said: "It seems that the intelligence network of our rebel army will be established in time. This Liu Yichen will observe for a while, and if he is reliable, he will be promoted to be Qian Ning's deputy to be in charge of the business of Zuixianlou in various places."

"Xiaoyin, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Huzhou's Qing army's movements should also be investigated, especially in Anji County. Let's see if we have a chance to engage him."

Weng Zhiheng said: "Governor Qian wants to attack Anji County?"

Qian Mo said: "I have this in mind, but after Anji wins, he may not necessarily hold on. There are too many troops in the Susong area. If we can attract some of Tian Xiong's troops, it will also reduce the pressure on Chongming."

"In addition, it can also open up the passage between my Taihu Lake and Tianmu Mountain, and establish our Tianmu Mountain stronghold."

At this time, Lu Shanhai said: "The troops in Jiaxing should also be empty. There are quite a few Jiaxing natives in the rebel army. Everyone is looking forward to fighting back to their hometown."

Qian Mo said: "Nowadays the Susong area is heavily populated with troops, and Jiaxing is too close to Suzhou and Hangzhou, so it may not be easy to escape."

"However, it's not a bad idea to go to Jiaxing to plunder, come to a siege for reinforcements, and pull out the 'Jinshan Acropolis' by the way."

"After all, we are familiar with the Jiaxing area, and it will be no problem to disperse and break out and return to Taihu Lake."

Everyone was shocked, Qian Mo's appetite was too big, not only did he want to attack Jiaxing, but he also wanted to ambush the Qing army and take down the "Jinshan Acropolis"?
This appetite is also a little too big.

At this time, Lu Shanhai also regretted why he had to intervene just now, attacking Anji County is not very good.

In fact, Qian Mo is also short of money now. It's not that he doesn't want to make money from construction. This is a big place in Taihu Lake, and he will give up sooner or later.

He didn't even have a stable base, no matter how well he built it, it was still making wedding clothes for others.

At the current stage, it mainly relies on looting, fighting Jiaxing to grab money and food, and hitting Jinshan Weicheng to grab equipment.

So he said: "Let's trouble Xiaoyin to find out the situation of Jiaxing and Jinshanwei."

Then he said to Qian Buer: "Uncle Qian, you are quite clear about the traitors in Jiaxing and their properties. Make a list and ask the brothers to find out. My rebel army depends on these traitors for food and money. We can't just rob the common people."

Then he looked at Lu Shanhai and said: "Everyone is from the village, they turned to the Tartars as traitors, we have to help them atone for their crimes, if we don't help, who will help?"

After this goal is determined, other things will be easy to handle.

A few days later, in Tianjiazhuang in the southern suburbs of Jiashan, the village was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the house was full of guests.

Because Master Tian is going to take a concubine today.

This Mr. Tian is seventy years old this year, and the bride is a 13-year-old Wang Yadan.

Wang Yadan's father, Old Man Wang, was beaten to death by the servants of Tian Fu because he couldn't pay the land rent.

His older brother Wang Erniu was imprisoned in the prison of Jiaxing Mansion on the charge of banditry.

If Wang Yadan doesn't take care of Master Tian today, then her brother Wang Erniu will die.

The Tian family has all-hands in Jiaxing, and Master Tian's eldest son is Tian Fulu, the magistrate of Jiaxing.

The second son is Tian Fushou, a general of the Qing army of Jinshanwei.

The three father and son ran amok and caused disaster to the whole town.

The villagers also dare to be angry and dare not speak out, but anyone who dislikes the father and son will be thrown into prison and beaten severely, and will be charged with "remnants of the former Ming Dynasty" and beheaded at every turn.

Tonight, there were countless people currying favor with Tian's family, and the servant who was in charge of receiving gifts was already overwhelmed, and several rooms were piled up with gifts.

There are even 100 tables of banquets in the courtyard of Tianfu.

This master Tian basically comes once or twice a year to take concubines.

He also pays attention to the banquet. There is only one table in the hall, and the value of gifts for those who sit at the table should not be less than 1 taels; 1000 taels.

Every time Mr. Tian took a concubine, his income from congratulations alone was no less than 2 taels of silver.

Of course, due to the frequent concubinage, the attendance rate of this banquet is not satisfied.

However, two big businessmen came here today, it is said that they want to follow Jinshanwei's way to engage in "smuggling".

As soon as I sold it, I bought 5000 seats in the hall for 2 taels of silver. Seeing that the outer courtyard was not full, I boldly booked 20 tables.

For the wealthy businessman who made such a bold move, Mr. Tian made an exception and went to the gate of the village to greet him in person.

Accompanied by Zhang Xiaofan, Qian Mo, who put on makeup, led 200 "guests" to Tianjiazhuang to celebrate.

Seeing this Tianjiazhuang, Qian Mo was also taken aback. This is not a manor, it is clearly a small city.

There is a moat outside the village, and the courtyard wall of Zhuangzi is as high as 1 Zhang 5. There are also several watchtowers, but there are no artillery.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the north was harassed by bandits and Tartars for a long time. It is normal for the powerful landlords in the north to build such manors. However, the Jiangnan has been in peace for a long time. Although it is not uncommon for the private houses of powerful landlords to have defenses, such barriers are strictly fortified. It is indeed rare. It seems that the Tian family has done a lot of immoral things on weekdays.

Seeing Mr. Tian, ​​Qian Mo immediately said: "Congratulations to Mr. Tian for getting a new wife. Mr. Tian is so energetic, I really envy my juniors."

"Qian has been doing business all the year round, and got a hundred-year-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain. He specially dedicated it to Tian Weng, and kept Tian Weng after eating it. After eating it, he was as powerful as a tiger, especially a young man!"

Master Tian immediately regained his spirits when he heard this, and said: "The two of you have come from a long way, and Tian is really lucky to be able to attend Tian's wedding banquet. Why should you be so polite, please be seated!"

Qian Mo thought to himself: You are a bad old man, I haven't married a wife or concubines yet, you are already in your seventies and you still want to ruin someone else's big girl.

Why do you need to be "polite", I can sit at your banquet without spending money?
However, this Tianjiazhuang is really heavily guarded. There are no less than 100 servants in the village, and they are even equipped with firecrackers. It seems that Tian Qianhu moved the barracks back to his home.

I have to say that Mr. Tian is really talented. If he had known that his wedding with Gu Xin'er would be held in Nanjing, he would not have accepted a congratulatory gift of tens of W taels.

Qian Mo observed the 10 people at the same table. Except for 3 officials who wanted to curry favor with the Tian family's superiors, the rest were all businessmen who wanted to please the Tian family.

It's a pity that Master Tian's two precious sons didn't come back to attend Father's wedding, presumably they are no strangers to it, and the little mother is too much to recognize.

In fact, the ancients had to go through the "six rituals" to marry a wife: accepting, asking for a name, accepting auspiciousness, accepting a sign, asking for a date, and welcoming in person.

However, if Master Xiangtian forcibly takes a concubine, the "six rituals" are unnecessary.

Qian Mo had previously promised that Ming Media would marry Gu Xin'er, even though it was just a concubine, the "six rituals" still had to go.

However, although the ancients could take a concubine without marrying a wife, they usually took a concubine in private, and many of them were even just maids with children.

After all, taking a concubine before marrying a wife is still detrimental to reputation, and not many people dare to follow the "six rituals" to take concubines in a high-profile way, especially those who take concubines from brothels.Although the prostitutes in ancient times and the "prostitutes" in today's understanding are not exactly the same, but they are of low birth.

Therefore, someone who formally married Liu Rushi as a concubine like Qian Qianyi must have been criticized at the time.

But Qian Mo, a person of later generations, would not think so much. If you love him, you are in love. He must be married by the official media.

In fact, in addition to the "six rituals", ancient church worship was also very particular. On the day of marriage, the bride and groom held a church worship ceremony.

The two bridesmaids appeared as "Yin Zan" and "Tong Zan" respectively.

The worship ceremony procedure is as follows:

Cited praise: The groom stands in front of the sedan chair.

Tong Zan: Open the sedan chair, the newcomer starts.

Cited praise: the groom bows (hands over to invite the bride)

Citation praise: The bride and groom go straight to the flower hall.

Cited praise: The bride and groom are in place.

Tongzan: The bride and groom offer incense.

Cited praise: Kneel, offer incense.

Tongzan: Kneel, kowtow, kowtow again, kowtow three times,
Then there are three common worships in TV dramas: first worship to heaven and earth, second worship to the high hall, husband and wife to worship each other, and finally enter the bridal chamber.

Seeing that Master Tian is about to go to the process of worshiping heaven and earth.

Qian Mo shouted: "Master Tian, ​​wait a minute, I don't know something, and I want to ask Master Tian."

The worship service was interrupted for no reason, and this master Tian was about to lose his temper, but seeing that it was Qian Mo, the big money lord, and thinking that this Qian Mo was trying to please him in a different way, so he didn't lose his temper.

Said: "I don't know what to ask for advice?"

Qian Mo said: "This is worshiping the heaven and the earth, and it is the ruler, relative and teacher of the heaven and earth."

"Speaking of God, Mr. Tian, ​​you have lost your conscience and forced you to marry a 13-year-old girl!"

"Speaking of land, Mr. Tian, ​​you oppressed the tenants who cultivated the land for you, and forced the bride's father to death!"

"Speaking of the king, Mr. Tian, ​​you have no eyes on the king, you took the lead in shaving your hair and surrendering to the Qing, and you repeatedly framed Zhongliang!"

"Speaking of relatives, Mr. Tian, ​​if you attack your own relatives, that's cruel!"

"Speaking of teachers, Mr. Tian, ​​if your teacher saw what you did today, he might not even be able to hold back the coffin?"

"Old thief Tian, ​​may I ask what is your face here to worship the heavens and the earth?"

Mr. Tian was not angry, and said: "My boy, you dare to make trouble at Tian's wedding banquet. It seems that you are tired of work!"

"Come here, hurry up and take it for me!"

I saw several servants of the Tianfu family being cut down to the ground, and Hong Fugui directly brought people in to kill them.

A knife rested on Master Tian's neck.

Qian Mo said: "Everyone, don't panic, sit at your seat with peace of mind, I guarantee that everyone is safe and sound!"

"Anyone who dares to walk around at will will be shot and killed!"

Then he said to Mr. Tian: "Old thief Tian, ​​why don't you order your servants to surrender obediently?"

Mr. Tian, ​​who was pretending to be calm just now, is no longer calm now: "Shout loudly, all the servants of the Tian family put down their weapons for me, don't move around!"

Then he said to Qian Mo: "Heroic man, spare your life. I don't know who you are. You can take the money and food in this farm as you like. I hope you can spare this old man's life!"

Qian Mo said: "Why, you inquired about our names and still want to seek revenge from us?"

"If you want to live, it's okay. How much food do you have here? Tell the truth. If I find out that you underreported by one or two, I will cut you one more time."

Tian Yuanwai said: "There are 10W taels of gold and silver in this old man's village, and 5000 shi of grain in storage. Please accept it with a smile, and don't hurt everyone in my village."

Good guy, with so much money and food, it may not be so much to conquer a poor county.

But Qian Mo still smiled and said: "Don't fool me, you have been a disaster for many years in the village, and you only receive a few taels for a concubine, only 10 taels of silver, you can't treat me as a three-year-old child."

So Qian Mo smiled and pulled out the dagger, and cut off Master Tian's left ear with one stroke.

Said: "It seems that you are old and confused, let some blood to wake you up, how much is there? Let's talk after thinking about it!"

Zhang Xiaofan beside him was startled.

I thought: Is this still the romantic boy who is famous all over the south of the Yangtze River?

It's even darker than him, a water bandit striker.

Master Tian yelled in pain, and immediately yelled: "Housekeeper, take them to the cellar of the secret room and give them all."

"Hero, spare your life. I don't know how much there is. It must not be less than 40 taels of silver. There is indeed only so much food."
