Chapter 323 Jiangxi scholars all want to surrender
Among them, Liu Tongsheng, who is also from Jishui, has the closest relationship with Li Banghua and is also older.

Seeing that Li Banghua was finally willing to show up, several people first heaved a sigh of relief, and then Liu Tongsheng said, "Why doesn't Mr. Li let us in to discuss it in detail?"

Li Banghua saw that the soldiers around the courtyard were looking here, and felt that it was not good to talk outside, so he made an invitation gesture and said, "Then please come in and have a cup of tea."

Liu Tongsheng, Wan Yuanji, Yang Tinglin and others filed in.

The weather in April was just right, neither too hot nor too cold. Li Banghua was afraid that the house would be cramped, and he was also worried that Wei Jun would suspect him of plotting something shady in the house, so he asked his servants to bring out some chairs and invited a few people to sit beside the apricot tree in the central courtyard. sit down.

Liu Tongsheng and others didn't mind and took their seats safely.

After the servants served tea, Liu Tongsheng spoke first: "Mr. Li, the change of dynasty in the Wei army has been completed. Although we were once ministers of the Ming Dynasty, we are no longer in office now.

A new dynasty is about to be established, everything is new, and many things have not yet been decided. It is time for me to come and assist.

But we alone may not be enough, so we ask Mr. Li to be our leader! "

Yang Tinglin followed: "I know that Mr. Li has great ambitions in mind, why don't we do the same?

However, as Brother Liu said, the trend of changing the dynasty of the Yi army has been completed; secondly, Li Gong must know better than us how much the state of Jiangshan and the country had deteriorated before the Ming Dynasty.

If the current person is someone who can help, we will stick to the integrity of scholars and courtiers even if we abandon our families and careers.

But Li Gong asked himself, who is worthy?At that time, Lu Gong (Lu Xiangsheng) contacted Gao Qiqian and joined forces to fight against Jiannu. Gao Qiqian walked eastward to Linqing, causing Lu Gong to be surrounded by Jiannu in Jiazhuang.

Lu Gong died in Jiazhuang in battle. Afterwards, I impeached Gao Qiqian and was demoted.

If he hadn't listened to the treacherous eunuch's slander and blamed Lu Gong for the fall of various places, and asked him to perform meritorious service, how could Lu Gong not be willing to break through and kill Jiazhuang in battle?
After Lu Gong died in the battle, that person did not know how to be considerate, but still blamed Lu Gong for his "unclear detection and poor management. He sat back and watched the cities fall without any relief. His talk of daring to fight against the sun was obviously just to gain fame."

Does this person say anything? !

Before the battle, he blamed Duke Lu and suppressed Lu Gong's prestige. All the soldiers and horses sat back and watched. Lu Gong was unable to mobilize at all, and even food and grass were not available.It was so difficult, even if Yue Wumu was reborn, what could he do? ! "

The more Yang Tinglin talked, the angrier he became and his words were fierce.

Because he was Lu Xiangshengtianxiongjunzhanhua (equivalent to a staff officer), and he was also an eyewitness to that battle.

If it weren't for the lack of food and grass, he would have been ordered by Lu Xiangsheng to borrow food and grass from Sun Chuanting, who came to help, and he might have followed Jiazhuang to death in the battle.

"Later, Mr. Lu's family asked for a pension, but he refused. I heard that Yang Sichang had died before, and he felt that the country was in danger, so he thought of Mr. Lu again, so he added an additional pension.

It’s true that people are used to look forward and people are not used to look behind. There is no sign of a human king!This king is not Jie and Zhou, but to the people of Sheji, his harm is no less than that of Jie and Zhou! "

"That's enough!" Li Banghua frowned and cut off Yang Tinglin's words, "Boxiang (Yang Tinglin's courtesy name), no matter how much resentment you have over Lu Xiangsheng's death, you shouldn't blame it all on your Majesty!

If so, what's the difference between you and the original general who blamed Lu Xiangsheng for the defeat? ! "

At this time, Wan Yuanji spoke up: "Gong Li is right, everything has been difficult in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, and there are many constraints on everything, making it difficult to accomplish anything.

Not to mention Gong Lu back then, it was Yang Sichang who had great trust and great power. Wasn't it Zuo Liangyu who refused to listen to his orders, causing the plan to suppress the bandits to fail? "

"Zuo Liangyu." Liu Tongsheng sneered, "I heard that this person was beheaded by his trusted general in a Taoist temple in Maoshan. He deserves it!"

Everyone present hated Zuo Liangyu, the first warlord general in the Ming Dynasty and the apparent culprit who caused the failure of the suppression of the bandits.

When they first heard about Zuo Liangyu's death, some people felt happy and drank to celebrate.

At this time, Wan Yuanji said again: "You may not know the story of the encirclement and suppression of the three thieves Li, Zhang and Luo the year before last, but I, who was in Yang Sichang's army, knew the whole story.

The failure of the plan to suppress the bandits was not entirely due to Zuo Liangyu's selfish motives. Now that I think about it, Yang Sichang was also responsible for improper management.

At that time, Zuo Liangyu pursued Zhang Xianzhong and defeated Zhang Xianzhong in Pingli. He captured his confidants and his wife, made him the prince Shaobao, and sealed him as the general of Zhang Xianzhong.

Yang Sichang felt that Zuo Liangyu was arrogant and difficult to control, so he secretly promised He Renlong to replace him as the general against thieves.

Not long after, Zuo Liangyu defeated Zhang and Luo bandits again in Manao Mountain, and both were in the limelight. Yang Sichang could not find an excuse to dismiss Zuo Liangyu, so he told He Renlong that the appointment would be discussed later.

He Renlong was so resentful that he informed Zuo Liangyu about the incident and led his troops back to Shaanxi, causing Li Chuang to break the siege and escape.

After the battle in Kaixian County, Zuo Liangyu refused to listen and sat back and watched the battle. This led to the defeat of Kaixian County and Zhang Xianzhong stood out to encircle him. "

At this time, a person next to him said: "After all, I still blame the two generals He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu for being too selfish and ignoring the overall situation."

Wan Yuanji nodded with deep understanding, then changed his words and said: "I heard that Xingmei King Liu Sheng attaches great importance to generals and soldiers. I am afraid that he does not know the consequences of not restraining the weight of generals.

As long as one or two generations of heroes are in power, this disaster will not appear. However, if the monarch is weak and the generals are too powerful, it will definitely lead to disaster.

Nowadays, the change of dynasty is inevitable. We should ignore the loss of personal morality and join the new dynasty to assist the holy king in creating a prosperous age.

It can't be obtained for thousands of generations, but it can't be killed by three or four generations, and the world can't be plunged into war again. "

Li Banghua took a deep look at Wan Yuanji.

The man Qingqing told a lot about Yang Sichang, Zuo Liangyu, and He Renlong, and they were waiting for him here.

Why didn't he realize before that Wan Yuanji had such a good talent for admonishing?
Liu Tongsheng was originally quite dissatisfied with Wan Yuanji's many old Ming events, but at this time his eyes lit up and he said: "Ji Ren (Wan Yuanji) is right! The past is gone, and the Ming Dynasty cannot be saved. We have read the sages Book, you should not sit back and watch the people of the world suffer from instability for decades and fall into war and war.

Besides, even if Mr. Li doesn't think about the people of the world, he should think about future generations and the clan, right? "

The latter sentence is very practical, so Liu Tongsheng stopped here.

Although no one has said it, who is preparing to become an official this time without thinking about being able to display his talents and making it easier for his relatives to serve as officials in the new dynasty?
Public and private interests are what they pursue.

Li Banghua sighed deeply and said: "What you said all makes sense, but I am nearly seventy years old and have no intention of becoming an official.

In addition, I am mourning at home instead of becoming an official, so there is something different after all.If he loses his official position, doesn't it mean that he will lose his job in the later years? "

"Mr. Li, this junior is also mourning at home." Wan Yuanji reminded.

"You all have understood what I'm thinking, so how about you let me think about it for a while?" After saying that, Li Banghua picked up the tea cup and hinted that it was time for them to leave.

Several people knew that this matter really needed time to think about, so when they saw Li Banghua giving the eviction order, they stood up and left.

Before leaving, Yang Tinglin turned around and said: "After Li Gongruo has thought about it, he will go to Nanjing with us to meet with King Xingmei.

By then, more than a dozen Jiangxi scholars like me will serve in the new dynasty together, and it will surely become a good story! "

Li Banghua showed a wry smile and did not answer.

He admitted that he was very moved by the comments from Liu Tongsheng and others, but he still decided not to resign.

Again, he was too old and a serving Ming official, so he didn't want to endanger his later life.

However, the next day, two more people came to Tani Village.

One of them, Li Banghua, knew Hou Tongzeng, the right councilor and admiral of Jiangxi Province in the Ming Dynasty.

The other one was a young man in his 30s, wearing a grey-green military uniform like that of the Lei Army, but it was difficult to identify his rank through the decoration.

Because there was a battalion of the Yi army stationed in Gu Village, and the officers and soldiers of the Yi army were as close to the people as fish in water, Li Banghua also got to know a lot about the Yi army through the villagers.

As far as he knew, the Yi army could tell their "rank" from their military uniforms.

From generals to pawns, everyone has a military rank.It can be identified by the "corner bars" and "stars" decorated on the military uniforms.

This man was wearing the uniform of the Yi army, but he had no military rank. He was probably from a very high position.

Sure enough, after meeting, the man smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Li Guofan, is now the prefect of Ganzhou and the political envoy of Zuo Bu of Jiangxi Province. He was previously the military and political officer of the Fifth Division of the Standing Army. I take the liberty to pay you a visit. Please don't take offense to Mr. Li." ."

After learning Li Guofan's identity, Li Banghua couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

He had long heard that there was a special position in the Yi army called "Military and Political Officers". From the sentry level upwards, there were "Military and Political Officers".On weekdays, he teaches literacy and arithmetic to the soldiers, and also tells stories to the soldiers.

Previously, those who opened temporary schools in Gucun to teach poor children literacy and arithmetic were also "military and political officers", but they were all at battalion and sentinel levels.

In addition, he also heard a rumor that he didn't know whether it was true or not - it was said that the military and political officers of the Wei army were all students of King Na Xingmei. The first few batches were even taught by him personally, and their status was very respected.

The Wei army's division had 4 to [-] men, making it the largest organization.The rank of division commander is probably higher than that of the Ming Dynasty's general military officer.

This man was previously a division military officer of the Fifth Division, so he must be extraordinary. He is probably the real "disciple of the emperor" in the Yi army.

As for the position of Zuo Buzhi in Jiangxi Province, it is also not simple - it seems that King Xingmei has not yet appointed the governor of Jiangxi. This Zuo Buzhi, who concurrently serves as the governor of Ganzhou and is actually the second-in-command of the province, actually controls most of the The power of governor!

Li Banghua had many analyzes in his mind, but his face remained calm and he asked: "I wonder what the two of you want to see me doing?"

Hou Tong once said: "Li Gong seems to be in good health, why do he talk about being old and decrepit?"

Hearing this, Li Banghua looked directly at Hou Tongzeng and asked: "Hou Yuzhan (the surname and the given name are called together is very polite), you are considered to be from a well-known family, and your family has been ministers of the Ming Dynasty for several generations, but you have also surrendered?"

Hou Tong was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to say.

It is true that he came from a famous family, and he was indeed demoted to Wei. He was also an official of the Ming Dynasty. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, it was a fact that he was out of integrity.

But he did agree with Wei Jun.

In addition, he was from Jiading, Suzhou - his hometown was ruled by the Yi army, and he was also captured by the Yi army. He also felt that the Yi army was indeed the king's army. If he did not surrender to the Yi army, would he have to die for his life?
He's not that pedantic yet.

Li Banghua then said to Li Guofan: "This envoy from the left is an old man who is not in good spirits and is already sleepy. If you have any questions, please speak up."

　First more.

　　Thanks to [Bingyu] for the 600 starting coin reward!
　　Thanks to [Qingfeng Kurano] for the 100 starting coin reward!
　　[In history, after the Qing Dynasty captured Nanjing, many places were determined by propaganda, and there were actually relatively few Ming officials and gentry who resisted.But it wasn't long before a severe order was issued to shave off the hair, which forced the gentry and scholars in Jiangnan to rebel against the Qing Dynasty.The haircut order humiliates people only superficially. What people in Jiangnan are most afraid of is repeating the past events of the Yuan Dynasty. People in Jiangnan are labeled as fourth-class southerners and find it hard to get ahead for generations.Of course, there are also many heroes who truly sacrificed themselves for the cause of justice. 】

　　[So, when the protagonist undergoes a relatively normal change of dynasty, scholars, gentry, etc. have little resistance or even support.Because it is still unclear whether the Wei army will cause significant loss of interests to their group. 】
