Win the Ding 1617

After a turmoil, Qian Qianyi pleaded for mercy to Uncle Liu Kongzhao and other Nanjing dignitaries in disgrace, Hou Fangyu and other talents who went down the river kowtowed to Uncle Ningyuan Li Shouhan, and the unlucky Yang Longyou died because he insulted the court officials and national heroes. He was thrown into the prison of Nanjing Zhenfu Division to enjoy a full range of physical services.

Even Hou Fangyu himself learned the next day that because of his status as the son of a criminal minister, he would not be allowed to participate in this year's and next two years' provincial examinations.

What's more terrible is that that night, although Liu Kongzhao was inconvenient to enter the Meixiang Tower to listen to Li Xiangjun playing the piano and singing, Li Shouhan walked into the Meixiang Tower with his head held high and his chest held high.Different from the eldest son Hou, the uncle Li Shouhan was accompanied by Wang Yetai, a younger uncle promoted by Duke Xungui of Nanjing, as a Qing guest, and the head of Caobangtian was nodding and bowing to serve him.

When Hou Fangyu and several scholars supported each other and limped towards the lower part of the Confucius Temple, he couldn't help but look at the brightly lit Meixiang Building surrounded by thousands of people, and he could hear a faint voice inside the building. Hou Fangyu gritted his teeth for the music and the woman's voice.

Such hatred is no less than killing one's father and taking one's wife.

"If a certain family is alive, if Li can't be killed, the country will be destroyed and the army will be wiped out, and he will not be buried in the ancestral grave in the coffin after death!"

"Brother, we will definitely help you get rid of today's humiliation! Take back the beauty!"

The brothers and sisters supported each other and went back to the lower place to ask the doctor to treat the illness and wounds without mentioning it.

Shou Han led his subordinates to rest in Nanjing for a whole day, and then went to visit the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Zijin Mountain.Walk with the earls, marquises, and dukes of various families.Privately, the nobles also praised Li Shouhan for having such a strong and fresh element in their group.

And for the task of handling the anti-smuggling matters in the coastal defense of the three provinces, the Shou Han also had to call himself brothers and sisters with nobles, and excommunicate them for wine and meat.A lot of benefits have been promised, such as the procurement of various materials urgently needed by Nanzhong, the sales of Nanzhong's products on the ground in Nanzhili, and the two parties agreed on the flag of the merchant ship at sea and the monthly tax paid to Nanzhong's navy. fees and a series of complicated and complicated things.And with Liu Kongzhao, the sincere uncle of the admiral Caojiang Yamen, under the witness of a group of Nanjing nobles headed by Wei Guogong, they signed the Jianghai Joint Defense Clause.The purpose is to prevent cunning people from colluding with Japanese pirates and Western Red Maoyi to follow the example of Guangzhou and go up the river from Wusongkou to attack Nanjing.Harass the mausoleum.

in the clause.What excites the nobles the most is not the joint defense of the Southern Guangdong Army, the Nanjing Fifth Armed Forces Governor's Mansion, and the Caojiang Yamen.Those whose number does not exceed five shall be released unconditionally.And ensure the safety of navigation.No more than fifty flags are issued each year.After exceeding the limit, it must be reported to the Southern Guangdong Army by the Caojiang Yamen in conjunction with the Nanjing Defensive Yamen.

This move undoubtedly turned Nanjing Xungui into a strong supporter of the Southern Guangdong Army.All of a sudden, all the princes, marquises, and earls in the city of Nanjing united to invite the stewards of Shou Han and Long Shengxing.Shouhan and his subordinates were so busy that they waited on all fours. Fortunately, Li Peiting returned from Liaodong in time.After distributing all kinds of Liaodong local products to the honorable officials everywhere, it is inevitable that Shou Han's popularity index has increased a lot.

To Li Zhenli and Li Xiangjun's mother and daughter, Li Peiting also sent someone to deliver one liter of Dadongzhu, ten catties of fine ginseng, twenty sheets of black fox skin, and some other various utensils and local products.Although the mother and daughter are well-informed, they are not immune to the many jewelry artifacts.

What made Shouhan even more excited was that Pei Ting brought to him a girl who was tall and straight like a birch tree and whose eyes were as clear as Haizi.

Shouhan almost scalded his tongue off with a cup of hot tea when he heard that this Daur girl whose style was absolutely incompatible with the popular aesthetic standards was called Aolei Yilan.

"How is your archery?" Shou Han's first words when he saw Ao Lei Yilan turned out to be this.

Taking the bronze tire and iron arm bow handed over by the soldiers beside her, Ao Lei Yilan tried it a little bit, and gave a soft drink in her mouth, and the bow was pulled like a full moon!Receiving the buckle and filling the string, Ao Lei Yilan put a spiked arrow on the bow, looked around slightly, and sent her right hand, at the sound of the bowstring, two pigeons were pierced by the arrow!

Hearing Li Peiting tell about what he had seen and heard in Sauron's Department, and knowing the heavy responsibility on Ao Lei Yilan, Shou Han had no choice but to listen to everyone's advice, "My lord, for the benefit of Nanzhong, you have to suffer some grievances" In the middle of it, I invited another guest in the city of Nanjing with bursts of joy in my heart, announcing Ben Bernard's favor.

In such an atmosphere of blooming flowers and blazing fire, storms are brewing in some corners of the city of Nanjing.

When the guard vented his energy on Ao Lei Yilan's vigorous body like a small wild horse for several days in a row, he was fascinated by Ao Lei Yilan's long legs and wheat-colored skin, and completely forgot that this concubine seemed to be with her. His eldest daughter, Li Huamei, was about the same age, and when she was lamenting that the years were not forgiving, Mu Yagou, the director of Longshengxing's business investigation department, barged into the inner house anxiously.Announced the new enemy situation to him in a strange tone through the crack of the door.

Shou Han is used to such situations. According to the rules he set, several intelligence leaders can directly enter the inner house to report urgent military situations to him, "Even if I am doing business with my wife, you can come to the bedside!" However, no one has done this for many years.

Instead, Ao Lei Yilan was taken aback, she hurriedly searched for the clothes at the head of the bed, and took a bared steel knife in her hand.Shou Han searched Yilan's smooth skin with both hands, whispered a few words of comfort in her ear, and asked Muyagou through the door why this happened.

"My lord, there seems to be another disturbance in Nanjing City!"

"Trouble? That should be dealt with by guard Xu Guogong?! Why should you and I panic?" Ordering the soldiers to open the door, the guard pulled Aolei Yilan out, and found a shaded place under the porch to listen to Muyagou.

"My lord, if it's an ordinary matter, my subordinates don't bother to take care of it. However, I'm afraid that someone will treat the lord and my various companies in Nanzhong according to the situation reported by the hidden piles everywhere!"

"What's the matter? It made you panic to such an extent?" Shou Han glanced at the curtain behind him, where a tall and graceful figure was clearly hidden.

"My lord. There is conclusive news that someone is secretly organizing and inciting scholars to strike classes, strike exams, and businessmen to strike."

"Reason? What's their reason?"

"My lord, some people say that my lord's newly-accepted smuggling mission in Haifang is to cut off the livelihood of the people in the south of the Yangtze River. The goods are not allowed to go to sea, and the Jianghai joint defense was signed a few days ago. The people in Shengdou worked hard to do something. No way. Go to sea. If you can’t cross the river, the people can’t handle their daily expenses, so you have to go to the shop opened by my Nanzhong merchant to borrow some food and money to use!”

"How courageous! You actually want to come to my shop to make a fortune?" Shou Han laughed out loud instead of getting angry when he heard this.

"This generation said that it was the lord who came up with this idea to the emperor in order to search for the people in the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor was blinded by the lord for a while, and agreed in a daze! Therefore, the leaders said that they would fight for the country!"

"So. This subordinate implores the lord to go out of the city for a while, and let the subordinates deal with the affairs here."

"What are you going to do..."

Shou Han was about to ask Mu Yagou how to deal with this mass movement, when the Chengqi officer outside the door reported in a low voice, "My lord, there are guests coming to visit."

"Who is it!? I have something to deal with here, no see!"

"My lord, it's Li Zhenli, Boss Li of Meixiang Building. She said that she came to tell me about the famous name of my lord!"

After hearing this, Shou Han couldn't help but cheer up.Immediately, Li Zhenli's pretty and slightly heroic face appeared in his mind.

Literati in this era have almost morbid aesthetic standards. There are many lolicons who like twelfth or thirteen-year-old girls, but young mature women in their 20s like Li Zhenli, or simply girls in their best years It has been regarded as old and pearly.Every time Shou Han sees such a situation, he can't help but stamp his feet in his heart and then curse violently!Then came waves of ecstasy.

"Please!"

Dressed in a gown with arrow sleeves and dressed as a man, Li Zhenli, who looked more and more heroic, made Shou Han secretly swallow his saliva.

"The Marshal Jue is very happy to be favored recently, so it's not good for me to come to disturb you. However, there have been rumors in the city recently that the events in Suzhou will be staged in Liudu. I have unfounded worries. I am worried that the Marshal Jue is a pillar of the country. If Being humiliated by this generation, some heroes are short of breath, so I come here to tell you something, I hope Jue Shuai will take precautions early."

The world's evaluation of Li Zhenli is beautiful and chivalrous, Li Shouhan secretly shouted in his heart, it really is true that you can't deceive me!

Anyway, he did not hesitate to take the risk of offending those behind-the-scenes operators to report to him, and of course Shou Han would like to express his gratitude.Immediately, she got up and tidied up her clothes, and respectfully bowed to Li Zhenli.

"Thank you, Ms. Li, for taking the risk to report the letter. Thank you Shouhan here."

"Where is the word, there are many powerful generals under Jue Shuai's command, and he will not take this generation seriously. I only ask Jue Shuai for one thing."

"Girl, please speak."

"If Jue Shuai wants to quell the turmoil, he must kill less people."

What a smart woman!No wonder he was able to become a school of his own in Ten Miles of Qinhuai, training a character like Li Xiangjun!He immediately guessed Shou Han's intention to kill people in Nanjing.

"Since the girl has opened the golden mouth, how can Shouhan not follow? As long as this generation does not go too far, Shouhan should restrain his subordinates and not act rashly."

While talking, someone came with a long wooden plate.

"I've heard for a long time that girls have the reputation of being chivalrous, and this thing is suitable for girls."

On the wooden plate, a green sharkskin sheath with a golden mouthpiece and a beautiful Japanese sword inlaid with several precious stones caught Li Zhenli's attention.

"This item is a tribute from the Japanese king Tokugawa, and it is worthy of such a beautiful character as a girl. If it is handed over to my group of rude soldiers, I am afraid that the pearl will be secretly cast."

In fact, this kind of knife, which is more than beautiful and delicate, but not effective in actual combat, is the most suitable for a character like Li Zhenli.

Sure enough, hearing that the saber was a tribute from the King of Japan, and Shou Han gave it to herself, she was so happy that Li Zhenli immediately stepped forward to take the saber and started dancing in the courtyard.

"This sister is so beautiful!" Behind the curtain, Ao Lei Yilan screamed coquettishly, and jumped out, also holding a long knife in her hand.

This sudden action of hers made Li Zhenli jump in fright, but upon closer inspection, she turned out to be a pure and bright foreign woman like the blue sky and white clouds.It doesn't look pretty, but it's refreshing.

With Li Zhenli's professional eyes on women, she can immediately see the advantages of Ao Lei Yilan: long legs, strong waist, straight back, well-balanced body, strong muscles, and smooth skin. Presumably she must be a man's favorite pet in bed.

"This younger sister, presumably is Mrs. Jue Shuai Xinna's Mrs. Ru?" Li Zhenli pulled out a hairpin from her head, and on the head of the hairpin was a string of tiny beads held in Phoenix's mouth. "My sister came in a hurry. I didn't bring a gift to my sister, so this hairpin is a gift for now."

"Thank you, sister!" Ao Lei Yilan was generous, and inserted the hairpin that Li Zhenli gave her into her bun, "Sister, you will come to my place later. I have Dongzhu brought from my hometown. You Pick a few and go!" She was still thinking about the simple little girl from Aolei's family in Liaodong.

"However, you have to tell me why you dance with this knife so beautifully. When I play it, he always frowns?" Ao Lei Yilan pouted and pointed the handle of the knife at Li Shouhan who couldn't laugh or cry.

With Li Zhenli's diplomatic skills, isn't it easy to deal with a little girl like Ao Lei Yilan who comes from deep mountains and old forests?Seeing a few important officials gathered around Shou Han, he thought he had business to deal with, so he took this new handkerchief and went to other places to study the difference between actual sword fighting skills and watching sword dances.

"My lord, should we inform the Garrison?" Mu Yagou still had that weird voice.

"No need! Here in Nanjing, they are local snakes! What we all know, why don't they know? Pass down the order to send the valuables and goods from various companies to Songjiang or Jiangmian ships first. Just leave some daily turnover. !"

"Then, should the subordinates send someone to quietly go to the leader?" Mu Yagou was still calm, but quietly gestured with his hand.

"No need! Let's take a look first!"

Shou Han doesn't want to be written another five-person tombstone record, which is obviously a violent tax resistance, but it is just a resistance to tyranny.

The industrial and commercial class in the late Ming Dynasty was already extremely arrogant, the local economy was completely out of the control of the central government, and the government was full of spokespersons for their interests.It can be explained that the late central government no longer has the slightest financial control over the local economy.

In order to protect their own interests, the merchant class often used the big killer weapon of joint market strikes as a sacrifice to the generals.

During the Jiajing period, the government banned the casting of private money everywhere. As a result, merchants from all over the place jointly went on strike, and the goods soared. The government had no choice but to abolish the ban.In the Wanli Year and the current Chongzhen Year, whenever the government wanted to collect taxes from the merchants, the government would have nothing to do if the merchants went on strike.

If the city of Nanjing was under the jurisdiction of Shou Han, there would naturally be a way to deal with this kind of strike. Unfortunately, he was just a guest army passing by here, so he couldn't afford to come forward to deal with these disgusting things.Even though he knew that the ultimate goal of this matter was to point to himself and the Nanyue Army, the Nanyue Army must not take action when dealing with such a matter!

"Second brother, come forward and invite Sima and Tian to dinner tonight, and say that you have business to discuss with them!"

Shouhan intends to use mass movement to counter mass movement. Didn't you coerce businessmen to strike and students to take to the streets?Then don't blame me for mobilizing the forces of the Yancao Gang!

"My lord, the head of the Sima gang of the Salt Gang, and the head of the Tian Gang of the Cao Gang, have posted a post outside Xingyuan asking to see you!"

Before they were seated, the two knelt down in front of Shou Han with a plop.

"I waited for the discipline of my subordinates to be lax, and I was almost used by someone with ulterior motives. I almost made a big mistake! I am here to plead guilty to the marshal!"

Where did this come from?Shou Han was a little puzzled, but still calmly ordered the two masters to be helped up, and sat down to talk.

"Originally, I was discussing with shopkeeper Li Da. I planned to invite the two masters to have a drink tonight. By the way, I have a small business to talk to the two masters. Since the two masters are here, it will be convenient."

"Jue Shuai, you look after the Cao Gang so much, everyone in our gang appreciates your kindness, but today, someone in our gang offends Jue Shuai Huwei, it is absolutely unacceptable!"

The leader of Caobang Tian was heartbroken, and kept beating his head on the green brick ground.

Seeing the pretentiousness of the two, Shou Han probably guessed something, but he was not quite sure.

"Get up and talk! There are dead branches on the tree, and there are more than a million people in your two gangs. It's inevitable that there will be a few people who commit crimes for profit."

Sure enough, the two began to explain to Shou Han the purpose of coming to Xingyuan this time.

Nanjing, as the capital, naturally consumes a large amount of living materials every day, and at the same time, a large number of commodities are distributed here.And these materials and commodities require a lot of transport capacity and porters. Therefore, the Yancao Gang has a large number of people in Nanjing.

But just a few days ago, someone spent money to hire people in these two gangs. At first, the managers at all levels didn't think it was any surprise.

But the number of people hired far exceeded the scale of the gang fight, reaching the point of thousands of people. The few incense owners felt that something was wrong, and after paying attention, they reported the crap to their leader to avoid getting into trouble.

"Someone is planning to harm the adults, intending to set off a storm in Nanjing City, and hired two gangs of me to charge for them."

The two gang leaders pleaded guilty to Shou Han with a sad face, hoping that this ruthless master who kills Tartars like eating cabbage can see that he is the leader and let the two gangs of Yancao go.

At best, handing over those gangsters would be regarded as a bailout.

"Two masters, I invite you to have a drink today. I intend to discuss with you. Our Southern Guangdong Army has set up a salt field in Qiongzhou Prefecture, which can produce at least one million stones of high-quality fine salt every year. I wonder if the two masters can do it. Interested?"

Shou Han smiled and looked at the two leaders who command hundreds of thousands of gang members. (To be continued..)
