Chapter 55 The Spring Breeze Blows, The War Drums Beat
() This chapter is full of power and conspiracy. If you can't accept it, you can criticize me with recommendation votes and evaluation votes, as well as collections and book reviews! <Post sales are good.The incense of herb burning in the furnace is lingering.Yellow paper card.Write the name of Tianzun on it.It was so burned that the ashes of the paper were not swept away, and half of the people in the street passed out drunk. "
"Butterfly Loves Flowers" by Shen Mingde.The words "New Year's Day" vividly describe the scene of the New Year.Although this new year in He Jing is not as good as the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou described by Shen Mingde, they are almost the same.
From the day of the seal on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, to the New Year's Eve vigil, and to midnight, the guards kept going around everywhere.In addition to offering sacrifices to the God of Plague, exchanging door gods, peach charms, changing spring posts, and offering sacrifices to ancestors, they also painted bows and arrows with white ash on the road to cast evil spirits.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year in the fourth year of Tianqi, he, the head of the Li family, will lead his family servants to worship heaven, earth, and ancestors when he wakes up in the morning. The housekeeper's wife gave out red envelopes to the servants, servants, and wives.
After distributing the blessings of the three cooked food used to worship the ancestors for everyone to enjoy, Yan Meier announced that the mansion will be closed for two days, and individuals can go out to pay New Year greetings to relatives and friends, or rest in the mansion.
As soon as this statement came out, the servants, maids, and wives in the mansion all dressed up with slick hair and went to the market to play, to find friends and relatives, to drink and play cards.Several women even had their heads covered with flowers, clamoring to show their sons their daughters-in-law.
Yan Meier replaced a few freshly cut flowers in the vase in Li Shouhan's study room, and she complained coquettishly to her man, "You let everyone go, and there is no one around who serves tea, I see you what to do!?"
Shou Han put down the thick stack of New Year's cards in his hand and smiled. "It doesn't matter, it's the Chinese New Year anyway. Apart from reading these New Year's greeting posts, there's nothing else to do if you just drink around. So what if I just let me have a half day's leisure?"
Having said that, as the leader of a powerful group, Shou Han still has no time to idle.
"My lord, the people under the governor's yamen have done a good job. Nowadays, in various villages and towns, especially those refugees from the south of the Yangtze River, there are complaints and scoldings about the actions of the governor's yamen. The Liao family, the Mai family The family and other family-based people who have an orthodox view of the Guangxi government also began to feel that asking for others is not as good as asking for themselves. When Uncle Fu went to the provincial capital to pick up these people, the third master of the Liao family was crying unceasingly."
What Li Peilin said, Shou Han had already learned from the secret reports from the statistics room and the business situation room, but he still listened carefully to Li Peilin's face-to-face report.
"Brother Zong, the secret report just received, the news from Shenglong. On the one hand, the Zheng family showed us goodwill, and on the other hand, they quietly transferred the knives, guns, gunpowder and other things we sold to him to the Ruan family, trying to make us Both the Ruan family and the Ruan family will suffer, at least, it will cost me more energy."
Hearing this, Li Peilin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He was the one to handle the negotiations with the Zheng family. If Li Shouhan became dissatisfied with him because of this matter, it would be a great loss.
"My lord, where did this news come from?"
Shou Han gave him a meaningful look, what's the matter?Planning to inquire about Lao Tzu's intelligence system?
"Well, in a hidden spot in Thang Long, a group of maids from Li Huang Palace came to buy some items for girls a few years ago. When they were about to leave, a girl suddenly said to the shopkeeper, 'You have to tell your boss , don’t let us give your good things to your counterparts. For example, you sold us this time a thousand silk flowers, [-] incense powders, and [-] pieces of clothing.’ After they left The people in the dark pile felt that the words had a lot of meaning, so they began to investigate secretly, and found that the [-] extinct knives, [-] funeral guns, and [-] barrels of gunpowder we gave to the Zheng family's Yulin army were loaded Get on the boat and prepare to transport it to the Ruan family!"
After hearing this, Li Peilin was shocked. It seems that the members of the Zheng family are also wolves and tigers!
"Master, if this is the case, I will take my leave first, and go back and arrange the people below to do things."
"Okay! Just do what you should do!"
According to the regulations of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, on the first day of the first lunar month, government officials from all over the country would look at the palace to congratulate from a distance.Shou Han has experienced it twice since he came here.
However, this gathering is a little different from previous years.
Just when the officials of the General's Mansion, all civil and military, were dressed in court clothes and ready to kowtow to the north, on the avenue leading to the General's Mansion, a mighty group of common people came towards the gate.
The leader is Liao Sanye and others who were kneeling in front of the Guangxi governor's yamen a few days ago, and Wang Bao's father Wang Jin was also there.And Wu Cunjie, the accountant in the Shouhan Mansion, stood impressively in the crowd with an incense burner on his head.
Thousands of people rushed into the gate at once, which greatly frightened the soldiers of the guard battalion on duty.
"Stop! What do you guys do?!" The leader of the team was sweating on his brow. He didn't expect such a situation to happen just after taking over the post.Are these people here to complain or to sue? !
While ordering the soldiers to get ready, he ran to the general's mansion and reported to his chief officer Ye Qi, who was also in charge of Hejing city defense affairs.
"Send someone to see what the people are here for."
Known as brave as Xue Rengui, as humble as a tree, and as romantic as Zhou Lang, Ye Qi is also a legendary figure in the Han army.
Ye Qi, courtesy name Shaoning, was born in Anqing Prefecture, Southern Zhili Province, a son of a good family, a student of the sixteen-year-old school in the government, and good at martial arts. Veterans and Hongyi seek all kinds of dharmas, and they are quite good at passing them on. The birds in the Baibu Cave are like turning their palms, and all the students in the same house laugh at them, thinking that they are not useful.
The rise of Donglin focuses on party struggles, and eliminates those who do not attach themselves. Qi wrote a letter angrily: "The lesson from party struggles in the Tang and Song Dynasties is not far away, and the minister should slow down a little bit. How can one spoil state affairs with selfish feelings." Xianggong was angry, Sarcastically, the party fell into it with immorality.Desiring to get it, Shao Ning first put it in the coffin, stood beside him, and was arrested generously. On the road, I met a Taoist priest, who said: "You can go to the south, and you should not be evil"!Shaoning is south of Sui.
In Li Peilin's eyes, Ye Qi is a person with very similar political views and backgrounds to his own, and his situation, intentional or not, is very clear.
"In the process of fleeing south, I came to Annan to settle down. After a few years of distress, I went to Hejing. I took shelter under the general's command. It happened that the general was recruiting new soldiers, so I abandoned my education and joined the army."
During a banquet with Li Peilin's brother, Ye Qi told the Li family about his family background and asked Li Peiting to find his relatives in Huaiyang area.
Looking at the bustling thousands of soldiers and civilians outside the gate, Ye Qi knew it well, but he couldn't tell the team officer on duty.
People entered the wide gate and stood still in the square. Many of the people were old people who had not received military training like the strong men, and immediately filled the square that could accommodate thousands of people.
"Pfft!"
"Plop!" Led by a group of elderly people at the head, people knelt down one after another, holding the censer above their heads with both hands, looking expectantly at the old people in front of the queue, expecting them to bring them good luck.
Like in front of the governor's yamen, Liao Sanye held up a ten-thousand-character book with both hands. It was a document written with a whole piece of plain white cloth, and there were fingerprints covered with blood by countless people.
"Please come out, general, and be worshiped by one of our little people!"
Liao Sanye, two old men from the Mai family, Wu Cunjie, Hu Angu and others took the lead in shouting, and thousands of people shouted together, attracting people in Hejing City to rush to the general's mansion.
"What happened? What happened to the General's Mansion?" Later people asked those who came earlier.
There will be people with good deeds who take the opportunity to preach to the people.
"Don't you know? Years ago, Mr. Liao and his fellow elders went to the provincial government to kneel down and ask the Ming government to send troops to rebel against the Ruan family who slaughtered and looted my Han people in the south of the Yangtze River. As a result, you should know, The Ming government will not start arbitrarily provoking border disputes for us outcasts! What should we do?! They seized my pastoral land, plundered my livestock and property, raped my wife, daughter and sisters, and burned my ancestors’ tombs. What should we do? !"
"What should I do?! General please go out! Send troops to wipe out the south! Let everyone have more fields!"
"That's right! Please send out the general! Send troops!!"
"General, please send troops!"
"send troops!"
"send troops!"
Driven by the people, they shouted loudly, and the sound wave was higher than the wave.
The soldiers on duty at Yuanmen blushed with excitement. For them, going out to fight meant military merit, land, and rewards.and family honor, as well as various economic interests.They are also looking forward to marching south. It is meaningless to fight the natives of Laos in the west. They will not get much good land or military merits. Killed, asked to enclose!
Come to think of it, if they sent troops to fight south of the Lingjiang River, wouldn't the Ruan family's army be overwhelmed so quickly? !
As a result, the soldiers on duty also began to shout loudly.
"Send troops! Send troops!"
After a while, amidst people's loud shouts, the closed door of the General's Mansion was opened, and Li Peilin and Uncle Fu walked out with shame on their faces.
"Come out! An adult has come out!" Thanks to the efforts of many old people, the frenzied crowd gradually quieted down.
Standing on the platform in front of the general's mansion, Li Peilin looked at the endless human heads in front of him, and suddenly felt a little dizzy. This is the public opinion, the public opinion.I don't know how many people through the ages have used the will of the people to finally achieve the career of king and hegemony.
Let someone try it today!
"My dear fellows and elders! Your Excellency, Li Peilin, was wrongly loved by the general, and I am the head of the general's mansion! This elder is even more familiar to everyone! It is the old man in the general's mansion, Uncle Fu!"
Just like we are familiar with big scenes such as concerts, bursts of enthusiastic applause, cheers, and shouts erupted from the crowd.
Slowly, after the sound subsided, Li Peilin clasped his fists and saluted to the surroundings, "Dear elders, I don't know why you are here today?"
"Little old man and others, they came here this time to ask the general to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River to avenge our grievances! To avenge our compatriots who died!"
Mr. Liao held up the ten-thousand-character document written in white cloth, and two burly men beside him hurriedly picked it up with wooden poles. The old man read aloud while taking the incense burner handed over by others.
"...Nan Ruan's monster and clown, deceived me, no one in China, seized my land, destroyed my home, plundered my property, humiliated my sisters, invaded my sovereignty, and despised my martial arts!"
Accompanied by the loud recitations of dozens of elders, at some point, soldiers from the Qilin Battalion, Phoenix Battalion, and Guard Battalion also came to the crowd in groups of three or four.
"Weeping blood and worshiping, I implore the general to provide a brigade of troops to cross the south of the Yangtze River, clean up the lair, and return the people to the world."
"This?!" Li Peilin looked embarrassed, "General, as an official of the imperial court, if the imperial court does not speak, how will the soldiers and horses be paid? In what name will you leave the army? Don't fall into the position of being disloyal!"
"The little old man waited for dozens of people to kneel in front of the governor's yamen for several days. No official came out to answer, so he had to turn back to He Jing. He took shelter under the general's wings. I, He Jing, have a strong army. Why are we afraid of Nanruan monsters and clowns?"
"Although this is the case, the soldiers of the general are also the soldiers of the imperial court, and they must go through the imperial court to initiate provocations!"
Ye Qi stood beside Li Peilin, watching more and more people and soldiers in the square, "Mr. Li, please explain the situation to the general first, and let the general decide everything."
"Everyone, elders and gentry, Mr. Li is going to report to the general, to report everyone's wishes, and ask the general to decide on all matters."
"If the general doesn't agree to our request! I will die here!" A voice came from a distance from the crowd.As if it was a signal, many people began to shout loudly: "If the general doesn't agree, I'm willing to die!"
"That's right! I'm waiting for the soldiers of each battalion, willing to fight to the death for the general! Willing to fight to the death for the people!" Those soldiers standing among the people also shouted loudly.
"Li Shouhan and his accomplices are thieves who take advantage of public opinion and force public opinion!"
Hundreds of years later, in a small house in Lisbon, the dissident Nguyen Phuc, who claimed to be a direct descendant of the Nguyen family, was writing quickly. He made a description of the people’s petitions in the first month based on the materials he had collected. reached such a conclusion.
"With Li Shouhan's self-proclaimed control over the army and the ability to control the Hejing area, if he didn't know about it in advance, how could those petitioners enter the core area so easily? His general's mansion? After Li Shouhan rejected the demands of the people, why did so many people react so violently?"
"Everyone, the little old man is going to take a step first! Master Wang will set the sun in the Central Plains in the north, and the family sacrifice will never forget to tell Nai Weng! General! Although the little old man is dead, a little loyal soul will still turn into a long wind and move south around our army The battle flag! I hope that the general will wave his troops across the river soon, and win every battle!"
After finishing speaking, Mr. Liao rushed straight towards the flagpole. His goal was the cornerstone of the flagpole, intending to make a deadly remonstrance!
The behavior of the old man caught everyone present off guard. Seeing that the white-haired old man was about to splatter blood on the spot, many timid people closed their eyes. They couldn't bear to see the scene of the old man's brain bursting.
Li Xiuxiu, who was peeking from the gate of the General's Mansion, also closed her eyes tightly, her face paled in fright.
Behind Liao Sanye, more than a dozen old people followed resolutely, "Our home is destroyed, our ancestors' tombs are humiliated, what face do we have to live in the world?!"
At the moment when Mr. Liao's gray head was about to collide with the cornerstone of the flagpole, a big hand in the oblique thorn grabbed his robe belt and pulled it sideways. Mr. Liao couldn't help but staggered and fell to the ground. .
"Why don't you let me die!?" His old eyes were full of tears.
Over there, a dozen or so old people were also stopped by a few soldiers on duty from the Guards Battalion.
Hu Licheng separated from the crowd and ran out, "Old men! We have survived all kinds of difficulties and dangers, but why are we so short-sighted?"
"Benefactor!" Because Hu Licheng gave up his family wealth and helped these people, in the eyes of Jiangnan refugees, Hu Licheng was their benefactor. "My lord general refuses to send his troops to the south to avenge our grievances. The little old man waits for this life to be difficult to live in the world, so he simply mutilates his body. I beg the general to understand us!"
Ye Qi helped Mr. Liao up and brushed off the dirt from his body. The behavior of the old people was far beyond his expectation. "Which bastard did this down there?! If someone is killed, let me see who is responsible for it!"
Inside the Yimen Gate, the civil and military officials standing all over the courtyard are also pale. Killing people on the battlefield is nothing. Moved by it.
"Big brother! Just agree to the request of those old people! Could it be that you really have the heart to watch them die in front of you one by one?" Xiuxiu ran up to Li Shouhan, shook his arm sincerely, stood Behind Shou Han, Yan Mei'er showed a slight look of hesitation on her face, but it disappeared immediately.
"I implore you to obey the will of the people!" Under the leadership of An Tianhong and others, the civil and military officials who had stood in the courtyard for a long time lifted their clothes and knelt down one after another. Shan Hu asked Li Shouhan to follow the will of the people and send troops to crusade against the south, avenge the suffering compatriots, and expand by the way. Take a look at your own living space and territory.
"Everyone, please stand up!" Li Shouhan gently pushed away Xiuxiu's pair of jade hands, and stretched out his hand to give a virtual support in the air. However, those civil and military officials kneeling in the courtyard knew very well that at this moment, it was time for him to get promoted and get rich. During the critical period, once Li Shouhan agreed to the military action to go south, then the land, forests, and the market brought by the large population in the south of the Lingjiang River, the presence of the princes of Gungun might not have a chance to get involved.
"Your Excellency refuses to conform to the will of the people and the army. I would rather kneel and die in front of you! I don't want you to be infamous!"
"My lord, please don't stick to petty loyalty and filial piety, but consider my Huaxia lineage and follow the people's will!" Li Peilin shouted loudly before one foot crossed the threshold.
"You don't know."
"This sentence by Li Shouhan has been recorded in many written materials. In these four inconspicuous words, his wolfish ambition is clearly revealed. In Chinese, the Chinese character Qing is a special word used by the king for his subjects. It’s just a small five-rank thousand household in a declining Ming Dynasty, how can this word be used?!” Ruan Fuhao continued to write quickly.
"My Li family has guarded the border for the Ming Dynasty for generations. Although there are people who are wronged by the people, the Ming court has an order not to provoke border disputes. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court has the instructions of the Ming court and the ancestors. How can we do such a thing of war? I also hope that the princes will comfort everyone with good words, give them more compensation, and let them disperse temporarily. Once the Ming court has a decree, the defenders of the Han Dynasty will take the lead.”
"Your Excellency said so. It's just being rigid! Thinking about the Taizu of this dynasty, when he raised a three-foot sword in the body of a commoner and raised troops in Huaixi, did he ever think about the so-called loyalty? The so-called loyalty has been around since ancient times. There is a distinction between great loyalty and righteousness, and foolish loyalty and filial piety, and the difference between the two is like clouds and mud!"
Li Peilin's words were heard not only by the people inside the courtyard, but also by people outside the courtyard.
Ye Qi in the square, after hearing Li Peilin's impassioned speech, gently helped Mr. Liao sit aside, and gestured with his eyes to a few confidantes standing in the crowd.Those few people immediately understood, raised their arms and shouted: "We are willing to fight to the death for the people, and we are willing to die for the general!"
"We are willing to fight to the death for the people, and to die for the general!"
"We are willing to fight to the death for the people, and to die for the general!"
"So-and-so! The hereditary general banner of a hundred households! Willing to die for the general!"
"So-and-so! Hereditary General Banner! Willing to die for the general!"
"So-and-so! The hereditary general banner of a hundred households! Willing to die for the general!"
"So-and-so! Hereditary hundred families! Willing to die for the general!"
"My lord, if you don't want to become a rebellious minister of Ming Dynasty, we will not use the flag and official title of Ming Dynasty, but act in the name of a lord favored by the people!" Li Peilin finally threw out his goal for today.
"Today, I support General Dai as the President of the Nanzhong Army against Ma, and also supervises the administration of money, grain and civil affairs!"
A few days later, Li Shouhan formally ascended the altar to pay homage to the general, and accepted the golden seal of the President from the five village elders elected by the people of the Garrison Mansion.This golden seal is made of gold donated by the subjects, representing that rights come from the people.
"Butterfly Loves Flowers" by Shen Mingde.The words "New Year's Day" vividly describe the scene of the New Year.Although this new year in He Jing is not as good as the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou described by Shen Mingde, they are almost the same.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year in the fourth year of Tianqi, he, the head of the Li family, will lead his family servants to worship heaven, earth, and ancestors when he wakes up in the morning. The housekeeper's wife gave out red envelopes to the servants, servants, and wives.
After distributing the blessings of the three cooked food used to worship the ancestors for everyone to enjoy, Yan Meier announced that the mansion will be closed for two days, and individuals can go out to pay New Year greetings to relatives and friends, or rest in the mansion.
As soon as this statement came out, the servants, maids, and wives in the mansion all dressed up with slick hair and went to the market to play, to find friends and relatives, to drink and play cards.Several women even had their heads covered with flowers, clamoring to show their sons their daughters-in-law.

Mr. Liao held up the ten-thousand-character document written in white cloth, and two burly men beside him hurriedly picked it up with wooden poles. The old man read aloud while taking the incense burner handed over by others.
"...Nan Ruan's monster and clown, deceived me, no one in China, seized my land, destroyed my home, plundered my property, humiliated my sisters, invaded my sovereignty, and despised my martial arts!"
Accompanied by the loud recitations of dozens of elders, at some point, soldiers from the Qilin Battalion, Phoenix Battalion, and Guard Battalion also came to the crowd in groups of three or four.
"Weeping blood and worshiping, I implore the general to provide a brigade of troops to cross the south of the Yangtze River, clean up the lair, and return the people to the world."
"This?!" Li Peilin looked embarrassed, "General, as an official of the imperial court, if the imperial court does not speak, how will the soldiers and horses be paid? In what name will you leave the army? Don't fall into the position of being disloyal!"
"The little old man waited for dozens of people to kneel in front of the governor's yamen for several days. No official came out to answer, so he had to turn back to He Jing. He took shelter under the general's wings. I, He Jing, have a strong army. Why are we afraid of Nanruan monsters and clowns?"
"Although this is the case, the soldiers of the general are also the soldiers of the imperial court, and they must go through the imperial court to initiate provocations!"
Ye Qi stood beside Li Peilin, watching more and more people and soldiers in the square, "Mr. Li, please explain the situation to the general first, and let the general decide everything."
"Everyone, elders and gentry, Mr. Li is going to report to the general, to report everyone's wishes, and ask the general to decide on all matters."
"If the general doesn't agree to our request! I will die here!" A voice came from a distance from the crowd.As if it was a signal, many people began to shout loudly: "If the general doesn't agree, I'm willing to die!"
"That's right! I'm waiting for the soldiers of each battalion, willing to fight to the death for the general! Willing to fight to the death for the people!" Those soldiers standing among the people also shouted loudly.
"Li Shouhan and his accomplices are thieves who take advantage of public opinion and force public opinion!"
Hundreds of years later, in a small house in Lisbon, the dissident Nguyen Phuc, who claimed to be a direct descendant of the Nguyen family, was writing quickly. He made a description of the people’s petitions in the first month based on the materials he had collected. reached such a conclusion.
"With Li Shouhan's self-proclaimed control over the army and the ability to control the Hejing area, if he didn't know about it in advance, how could those petitioners enter the core area so easily? His general's mansion? After Li Shouhan rejected the demands of the people, why did so many people react so violently?"
"Everyone, the little old man is going to take a step first! Master Wang will set the sun in the Central Plains in the north, and the family sacrifice will never forget to tell Nai Weng! General! Although the little old man is dead, a little loyal soul will still turn into a long wind and move south around our army The battle flag! I hope that the general will wave his troops across the river soon, and win every battle!"
After finishing speaking, Mr. Liao rushed straight towards the flagpole. His goal was the cornerstone of the flagpole, intending to make a deadly remonstrance!
The behavior of the old man caught everyone present off guard. Seeing that the white-haired old man was about to splatter blood on the spot, many timid people closed their eyes. They couldn't bear to see the scene of the old man's brain bursting.
Li Xiuxiu, who was peeking from the gate of the General's Mansion, also closed her eyes tightly, her face paled in fright.
Behind Liao Sanye, more than a dozen old people followed resolutely, "Our home is destroyed, our ancestors' tombs are humiliated, what face do we have to live in the world?!"
At the moment when Mr. Liao's gray head was about to collide with the cornerstone of the flagpole, a big hand in the oblique thorn grabbed his robe belt and pulled it sideways. Mr. Liao couldn't help but staggered and fell to the ground. .
"Why don't you let me die!?" His old eyes were full of tears.
Over there, a dozen or so old people were also stopped by a few soldiers on duty from the Guards Battalion.
Hu Licheng separated from the crowd and ran out, "Old men! We have survived all kinds of difficulties and dangers, but why are we so short-sighted?"
"Benefactor!" Because Hu Licheng gave up his family wealth and helped these people, in the eyes of Jiangnan refugees, Hu Licheng was their benefactor. "My lord general refuses to send his troops to the south to avenge our grievances. The little old man waits for this life to be difficult to live in the world, so he simply mutilates his body. I beg the general to understand us!"
Ye Qi helped Mr. Liao up and brushed off the dirt from his body. The behavior of the old people was far beyond his expectation. "Which bastard did this down there?! If someone is killed, let me see who is responsible for it!"
Inside the Yimen Gate, the civil and military officials standing all over the courtyard are also pale. Killing people on the battlefield is nothing. Moved by it.
"Big brother! Just agree to the request of those old people! Could it be that you really have the heart to watch them die in front of you one by one?" Xiuxiu ran up to Li Shouhan, shook his arm sincerely, stood Behind Shou Han, Yan Mei'er showed a slight look of hesitation on her face, but it disappeared immediately.
"I implore you to obey the will of the people!" Under the leadership of An Tianhong and others, the civil and military officials who had stood in the courtyard for a long time lifted their clothes and knelt down one after another. Shan Hu asked Li Shouhan to follow the will of the people and send troops to crusade against the south, avenge the suffering compatriots, and expand by the way. Take a look at your own living space and territory.
"Everyone, please stand up!" Li Shouhan gently pushed away Xiuxiu's pair of jade hands, and stretched out his hand to give a virtual support in the air. However, those civil and military officials kneeling in the courtyard knew very well that at this moment, it was time for him to get promoted and get rich. During the critical period, once Li Shouhan agreed to the military action to go south, then the land, forests, and the market brought by the large population in the south of the Lingjiang River, the presence of the princes of Gungun might not have a chance to get involved.
"Your Excellency refuses to conform to the will of the people and the army. I would rather kneel and die in front of you! I don't want you to be infamous!"
"My lord, please don't stick to petty loyalty and filial piety, but consider my Huaxia lineage and follow the people's will!" Li Peilin shouted loudly before one foot crossed the threshold.
"You don't know."
"This sentence by Li Shouhan has been recorded in many written materials. In these four inconspicuous words, his wolfish ambition is clearly revealed. In Chinese, the Chinese character Qing is a special word used by the king for his subjects. It’s just a small five-rank thousand household in a declining Ming Dynasty, how can this word be used?!” Ruan Fuhao continued to write quickly.
"My Li family has guarded the border for the Ming Dynasty for generations. Although there are people who are wronged by the people, the Ming court has an order not to provoke border disputes. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court has the instructions of the Ming court and the ancestors. How can we do such a thing of war? I also hope that the princes will comfort everyone with good words, give them more compensation, and let them disperse temporarily. Once the Ming court has a decree, the defenders of the Han Dynasty will take the lead.”
"Your Excellency said so. It's just being rigid! Thinking about the Taizu of this dynasty, when he raised a three-foot sword in the body of a commoner and raised troops in Huaixi, did he ever think about the so-called loyalty? The so-called loyalty has been around since ancient times. There is a distinction between great loyalty and righteousness, and foolish loyalty and filial piety, and the difference between the two is like clouds and mud!"
Li Peilin's words were heard not only by the people inside the courtyard, but also by people outside the courtyard.
Ye Qi in the square, after hearing Li Peilin's impassioned speech, gently helped Mr. Liao sit aside, and gestured with his eyes to a few confidantes standing in the crowd.Those few people immediately understood, raised their arms and shouted: "We are willing to fight to the death for the people, and we are willing to die for the general!"
"We are willing to fight to the death for the people, and to die for the general!"
"We are willing to fight to the death for the people, and to die for the general!"
"So-and-so! The hereditary general banner of a hundred households! Willing to die for the general!"
"So-and-so! Hereditary General Banner! Willing to die for the general!"
"So-and-so! The hereditary general banner of a hundred households! Willing to die for the general!"
"So-and-so! Hereditary hundred families! Willing to die for the general!"
"My lord, if you don't want to become a rebellious minister of Ming Dynasty, we will not use the flag and official title of Ming Dynasty, but act in the name of a lord favored by the people!" Li Peilin finally threw out his goal for today.
"Today, I support General Dai as the President of the Nanzhong Army against Ma, and also supervises the administration of money, grain and civil affairs!"
A few days later, Li Shouhan formally ascended the altar to pay homage to the general, and accepted the golden seal of the President from the five village elders elected by the people of the Garrison Mansion.This golden seal is made of gold donated by the subjects, representing that rights come from the people.
