Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 634
At this time, Yu'er had been sent to Yingtian Hospital for nursing, Song Qingshu regained his composure, leaned on a chair with an account book in his hand and looked at it, without raising his head, he hummed slowly.

"Slapped, and 160 eight slaps!"

"Oh, my handsome man! Now it's the cusp of the storm, and those bastards from the Donglin Party are waiting to attack us. What are you doing, why are you so impulsive? This is equivalent to sweeping the emperor's face. This, This……"

"Why, Your Majesty still wants to arrest me?"

Ma Shiying, who said this, couldn't help but choke, and immediately spread his hands sadly: "Marshal, you are a minister of the dragon, and you have won His Majesty's trust. After all, they are outsiders, but you have directly conflicted with His Majesty, which is equivalent to directly pushing this trust to the Donglin Party, which is very passive for us!"

"In the past few days, those bastards from the Donglin Party will definitely make a big fuss about this matter and attack the commander-in-chief. Now, oh~"

Finally, what Ma Shiying said, Song Qingshu couldn't help raising his head and fell silent. The world is never that simple. Although Song Qingshu is now powerful and controls Yingtian, he looks like Cao Cao back then, but today's Daming and the man thousands of years ago are already different. It's completely different. Today, the literati are in charge. Don't look at Song Qingshu's wealth as an enemy, but the main public opinion, production materials, and even manpower in the society are still controlled by those bureaucratic family literati. Song Qingshu's bourgeoisie is not strong enough to overthrow them in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, Song Qingshu would have announced the abolition of Ming Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic.

Now there are three Jiangbei towns in the north, Zuo Liangyu in the west, and Ming Dynasty scholar-bureaucrats in Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Zheng Cai, Zheng Hongkui and other military leaders who are still loyal to Ming Dynasty in the south. Nu, even his sworn brother Zhang Xianzhong, can be regarded as potential opponents. The world is far from reaching the point where his family dominates. Now, Song Qingshu can only be said to have an advantage and a chance.

Ma Shiying's words really made him feel a sense of powerlessness for a moment, and then suddenly he cupped his fists at Ma Shiying seriously.

"Today is not only my handsome righteous daughter, those eunuchs also rushed to our workshops and residential areas outside the city, and Huang Qiang went door-to-door to snatch the daughters of the people..."

"Marshal, isn't it just some workmanship, the big deal is to send some money, why are you with His Majesty..."

Ma Shiying tried to persuade him impatiently, but Song Qingshu suddenly stood up, waved his hand to the side, and suddenly sneered.

"Master Ma, they are not pariahs. They are everything to my commander. The West India Company and the Begging Army are all lifted by Song on their shoulders! Master Ma is also a well-learned man, Mencius said. : The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is pure! Hasn’t Mr. Ma read it?”

Ma Shiying was dumbfounded when he said this. This sentence once made Zhu Yuanzhang furious and ordered to delete it. However, Meng Sheng's remarks are so indelible. Scholars in the world are still catchy. Keep this sentence in your heart?
I don't know how many people have slandered Ma Shiying in history, but he himself is really not a bastard, and when Song Qingshu suddenly woke him up, he cupped his fists in shame and nodded in a low voice: "Your official knows what to do! The officer will leave!"

"Old horse!"

He stopped suddenly, but this time Song Qingshu's sneer suddenly turned into a smirk, and he patted his shoulder mysteriously.

"Don't worry, although the matter is a bit big, but after these few days, you will know who has the last laugh!"

Seeing Song Qingshu's confident appearance in astonishment, Ma Shiying immediately clenched his fists again in bewilderment, and retreated.

…………

Being able to be the assistant for the last time, Ma Shiying's first meeting was really bloody. Sure enough, in the next few days, the whole Yingtian City was once again full of storms, and then Eunuch Zhang was beaten and went back to cry about it. Qian Qianyi, Gao Hongtu , Lu Daqi and others bravely wrote a letter to impeach Song Qingshu for blatantly resisting the order, insulting the emperor, and plotting to rebel. They even said that Song Qingshu was a spy sent by Li Zicheng to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. Lay hell.

While scolding Song Qingshu, these guys also praised Eunuch Zhang and his master Tian Cheng to the sky. They completely forgot how they scolded the eunuchs all over the world as a disaster for the country and the people when the Donglin Party and Wei Zhongxian were fighting fiercely during the reign of Tianqi of.

After eating at his place that day, Liu Cheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also took the opportunity to file a complaint with Dongge University scholar Wang Duo, saying that Song Qingshu was rich and unkind, and so on.

Just as Ma Shiying expected, the relationship between the emperor and the begging army suddenly froze a lot. It is said that that day, Zhu Yousong dropped a lot of porcelain, pointed at the east side and yelled at him. up.

However, this time, the officials of the West India Company lost their voices collectively. Even Ma Shiying, the second assistant, did not refute the matter. Song Qingshu was even more low-key. After expelling the eunuchs, he said that some shops in the city were closed. , All his men were withdrawn outside the city.

Although, even if the political situation is turbulent, ten divisions of beggars patrol the Bund every day. No matter whether it is the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Jinyiwei or Zongzheng Temple, none of them dare to take the case and arrest people.

However, on June [-]th, the wind direction suddenly turned.

Qinhuai River, Fengyue Boat, Qian Qianyi are simply people who are in high spirits on happy occasions!Following Gao Hongtu, Lu Daqi and others chatted happily over the wine, and the white-faced Qin Qiong who drank almost turned into a red-faced Guan Gong.

It really made him happy. There is no one who earns more money than being an official these days. Song Qingshu's "faint move" this season immediately raised his boat. The family recovered once again, with thousands of hectares of land and a lot of houses, especially after losing the trust of the emperor. Once Ma Shiying fell down, he would have to move up again, and he would gain both fame and fortune.

"Hahaha, Song thief is really suicidal! Finally, he relied on his treacherous tricks to force His Majesty, and in a blink of an eye, he exposed his arrogant and domineering side, beat the emperor's servant, and even offended Eunuch Tian Chengtian He's dead, now he's like a grasshopper after autumn, he won't be able to jump for a few days." Holding his wine glass, Qian Qianyi said excitedly.

"That's right! He has lost his sacred heart, and the old thief Ma can't last for a few days. When they withdraw, the position of chief assistant in the cabinet should belong to Mr. Qian, who will be popular in the world. Only Mr. Qian can shoulder the heavy burden of this world's heavy burden for the highly anticipated Shoufu Grand Scholar!"

"Oh, Mr. Lu can't do it. Qian Moujie is old and can't take such a heavy responsibility. Mr. Gao has high morals and prestige, so he should be the first choice! But Ma Shiying is down, and there is an old thief Wang Duo's corpse. He also made a decision. People, you have to watch out for him to make a comeback!"

"Extremely great!"

The cups were mixed, and Qian Qianyi inadvertently pushed away a factor of internal strife, and once again unified the battle line to the Waiyan, more than a dozen Donglin celebrities who listened to it all nodded in praise.

But at this moment, a middle-aged scholar hurried in at the door, panting and crying, he swung his face heavily at Qian Qianyi: "Student Xie Xiangshan, meet your teacher!"

Donglin Dangcheng and Donglin Academy, relying on this teacher-student relationship, have monopolized the political situation. Xie Xiangshan is Qian Qianyi's student, but at this time when the Donglin big bosses are gathering, he will act recklessly as a younger brother. Barging in, it obviously swept Qian Qianyi's face, with a gloomy face, Qian Qianyi reprimanded him immediately.

"Fortunately, you are still a student of Confucianism, a student of Confucianism, and you have not been able to be polite! The sky is big and the earth is big, and the word Li is the largest! As a minister, when the Taishan Mountain collapses in front of you, you will not change your face, and when the flood rushes in front, you will be calm, like How can you be so reckless?"

"That's what the mentor taught me!"

The one who was reprimanded by Qian Qianyi almost didn't cry. The unlucky scholar nodded sadly, wishing he could just put his head on the ground.This respectful attitude just made Qian Qianyi feel more comfortable, and then asked angrily.

"What's the matter?"

"Teacher, help me! Today, the inner palace guards broke into the student's house, pasted yellow paper on the student's wife and nine-year-old daughter, saying that she would enter the palace! Teacher, the student really has no other choice!"

Not only Qian Qianyi heard this, but everyone's expression changed.

This is by no means an individual case. In the next few days, with the forbidden army, the imperial decree in his hand, and the title of the constitution, the imperial servant almost walked all over the streets and alleys of Yingtian City. Although he was beaten by Song Qingshu for robbing girls outside the city He rolled back with a bruised nose and a swollen face, but the matter of the draft still had to go on. Since the hard iron plates of the West India Company couldn't move, let's pick the soft persimmons!The rich and gentry in the city became the targets of these eunuchs.

And if these guys are really drafting girls for the emperor, it’s fine, but more often they still make a fortune for themselves, and even clearly marked the price, how much money the squires paid for the yellow paper, and how much the squires paid for it.

Indeed, these eunuchs still had the last bit of propriety, and they did not dare to move the serving officials and the daughters of honored families. Unable to bear the pressure, the leaders of Donglin, Qian Qianyi, did something embarrassing, and the group turned around, and began to desperately impeach these internal eunuchs who were going around blackmailing and looting.

"Hahaha, what a great plan! These things are printed in a booklet and spread out. Let's see what old face Qian Qianyi and Gao Hongtu have!"

Ma Shiying is in charge of the cabinet, and now the strict cabinet system has also collapsed with the current situation. He easily revealed a lot of ministers' letters. In the previous book, Gao Hongtu still praised the draft as an act of peace and stability. Song Qingshu's obstruction of the draft is simply a Disrupting the country and the people, in the blink of an eye, he again denounced the talent show as an act of wasting the people and wasting money, harming the country and the people, and all the original heroes and eunuchs turned into shameless villains in his mouth again.

Capricious, the two memorials fully exposed his hypocrite face.

The Qihuo Army has its own tabloid. Since the 11th year of Chongzhen, Song Qingshu has printed some interesting stories in the market under the product advertising team when his store is withdrawn every month. For six years, it has become a custom in Yingtian and even in many places in the south of the Yangtze River. Scholars are also willing to take a look. If these memorials of the Donglin Party are printed out, then these guys will really lose face.

"Marshal, Marshal, why are you unhappy?"

While tidying up, he yelled and said it several times in a row before Song Qingshu came back to his senses. Seeing his stern face, Ma Shiying couldn't help asking in astonishment.

"Why do you like it? The emperor is shaking the foundation of the empire, but we didn't remedy it, but took advantage of this opportunity to intrigue! We are all sinners!"

Suddenly, I realized that I was thinking of things simply. I thought that I could turn the tide by setting up a foolish emperor and taking charge of the government by myself. But now, the emperor has once again made a fuss in the empire, and a large group of people in the court are holding back, even if the power is stronger than before. Even better, Song Qingshu was still shocked to find out that he still hadn't accomplished anything so far. Thinking of this, Song Qingshu looked lonely at the misty Zijin Mountain outside the glass window.

Holding a few booklets, not only Ma Shiying, but also Sun Chuanting and the others suddenly felt that the things in their hands became heavy...
