Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 648
Haidyu series of giant transport ships, now the Qihuo Army has produced the sixth ship, this Haidyu No. [-] was just launched in Tainan Prefecture, and soon berthed at Yingtian Port, but even with this [-]-ton giant ship, Seems to be packed full.

Even if most of the bulk commodities were given to the workers as parting gifts, the silver taels and high-end items escorted by the ticket number, especially the piles and piles of files, were still piled up on the deck, especially the army , There are more than 4 people in more than a dozen divisions, and there are many local family members, military family members, and core skilled workers, crowding even the spacious fleet.

The unprecedented retreat of the begging army!This time, it can even include half of the emerging bourgeoisie in Jiangnan.

After rushing from Zijin Mountain to the riverside, Song Qingshu also boarded the Hai Dayu No. [-].

The people's clothes swelled in the river wind. Even after boarding the boat, Song Qingshu couldn't help but look at Yingtian City. In the misty rain, the blue-gray city was a bit blurred, and the atmosphere of the metropolis gradually faded away. Go, just when Song Qingshu was fascinated by reading, his body suddenly warmed up, and when he turned around, there was a warm white fox coat draped over him, and Xiaojiali's red eyes.

"Officer, I'm sorry, he, he can do such a thing! I..."

"Okay, don't mention the past!"

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Song Qingshu hugged Xiaojiali in his arms with emotion, and hugged her weak little head into his arms.

The same can't bear flashed in Song Qingshu's eyes.

Little Pepper is indeed guilty, not to mention that her brother is going to kill her husband-in-law this time, just this time the big retreat of the beggar army made her take all the faults on herself, but this retreat is not only Song Qingshu's deliberate decision was made after Sun Chuanting and other staff, and Yingtian's Gu Mei and other shareholders discussed it for a day.

Because Zhou Yanru's just one sentence awakened Song Qingshu.

I think back then, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to raise troops from Bozhou, the first time since ancient times to rule the north from the south, and established the Ming Dynasty for 300 years, but now, the great Ming Dynasty was defeated by a small Jiannu who was much weaker than the Mongol Empire back then. As such, why?

People's hearts are different!
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols divided the people in the world into four classes, and the population in the south of the Yangtze River was the most bullied. Even the bride's first night had to be handed over to the red official stationed in Daluhua. In order to ensure the purity of the blood, many places even developed first-born The custom of the Great Yuan Dynasty was extremely strict with the people, even afraid of the people's resistance, to the extent that several households shared a kitchen knife. However, bamboo, wood, and even nails and teeth can kill people. With extreme anger, the Jiangnan Han people, After conquering several competitors successively, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to defeat the black death Mongolian Empire that brought terror to Europe, Asia and Africa and massacred more than 2 million people in one fell swoop.

But now?
For 300 years, these scholar-bureaucrats have lived too comfortably. They have become greedy, lazy and not enterprising. They only want to keep their vested interests short-sighted. The people are also numb in an environment that is too comfortable. , they are also at the mercy of the landowner puppets.

Song Qingshu's mistake is that he has done too much, set up businesses to resettle refugees, stabilize the local area, reform the tax system, and heal the cancer of the empire. Song Qingshu's starting point is good, but everyone, including Zhou Yanru before, has seen it But Song Qingshu, a vulgar warrior, got rich and even stepped on their heads gradually, especially Song Qingshu's Qingzhang land. The Jiangnan gentry could tolerate Zhang Juzheng's Qingzhang land once, but they couldn't bear Song Qingshu anyway, because they looked down on him. His status is low, and he dares to seek the common interests of everyone.

Just like Trump and Hillary running for office, Hillary has been secretary of state for too many years, but she can pick out too many faults, and those who don’t do things can always find faults and choose those who do things. Even this time, Song Qingshu defeated Shi Kefa successively, In the three towns of Jiangbei, I am afraid that what he is facing is a Jiangnan that is hostile on all sides. With Song Qingshu and the tens of millions of workers and bourgeois under his command, the tens of millions of people in Jiangnan cannot be controlled.

And Song Qingshu's Achilles' heel is that he cares too much about the overall situation!Even if the relationship with the imperial court was so tense, he would go to aid Liao and serve the king, and after the establishment of Nanming, he could compromise repeatedly for the sake of the overall situation.Even this time, being located in the three towns of Jiangbei, surrounded by Zuo Liangyu and He Tengjiao behind him, the situation is quite unfavorable strategically. Song Qingshu still wants to fight, just to face the possibility that the Qing army may have to go south next year. Prepare to defend Jiangnan.

However, he took care of the overall situation, while Qian Qianyi and others did not. They can't stop killing them. For 300 years, the supporters have cultivated these scholar-bureaucrats into some kind of virtue, and they have to do something when they have nothing to do.

To touch the numb hearts, top-down reforms are no longer enough to save the situation, some blood must be shed!Just like Nanming in history, only the heartbroken scholar-bureaucrats and the people could fight to the last drop of blood against the invading Jiannu with their last breath.

That being the case, then be willful and let them suffer!Let's see if these people can still play without Song Qingshu!

"Big guy!"

Just when Song Qingshu and Xiaojiao were embracing at the bow of the boat, Xiaobao ran up in a hurry, just yelled, then saw the situation clearly, and quickly lowered his head.

"Marshal, Shi Kefa is visiting!"

Startled suddenly, Little Pepper had already broken free, and pushed Song Qingshu with a flushed face.

"Officials are important, let's go!"

"I don't know when I can come back from this trip! Aren't you going to say goodbye to him?"

A little surprised that Shi Kefa was able to "go deep into the tiger's den" to meet him, nodded and was about to go down, Song Qingshu turned around again as if suddenly thinking of something, but looked him in the eyes, Xiaojiao shook his head very seriously.

"From that day on, he won't know my brother anymore, and the concubine is just a female ear of the Song family!"

…………

After fighting for six consecutive days without crossing the river, Shi Kefa was quite embarrassed. Now he was able to cross the river in a tank boat, and he personally boarded the big ship where he was in such a mess. The dry city of the country is still looking around in amazement.

At first, Song Qingshu admired this loyal minister who lived and died with Yangzhou and dared to die for the city. When Shi Kefa was an official in Yingtian, he took special care of him, but now, Song Qingshu's goodwill has disappeared. Indeed, his integrity is admirable, but no matter whether he is a politician or a person, he is no different from those stubborn old people in the Yingtian Palace. The deep-rooted party struggle thought that the Ming Dynasty was defeated by him.

If it was only Zuo Liangyu, Song Qingshu would not be angry, but since this incident, he has repeatedly told Shi Kefa his benefits, and this guy is still here!This made Song Qingshu completely disappointed with the Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrats. They were no different from the group of guys who had subjugated the capital.

"Scholar of Shi came to see a treacherous and rebellious minister of Song, aren't he afraid of tarnishing his reputation?"

A cold sarcasm brought Shi Kefa back to his senses, stroked his neat beard, the Yangzhou governor actually showed a look of pity, and bowed his head from left to right with emotion.

"It's a pity that such a huge ship can only be compared with the Western Fleet of the Sanbao eunuch at the beginning of the founding of the country. Marshal Song, with such a sharp weapon, you could have become a hero like ZTE's death general. Now it's the end, dear lady, how can I be a thief?"

Song Qingshu could hear that Shi Kefa's sympathy came from the heart, however, this aroused his anger more and more.

"This commander clears up the land, in all fairness, Bachelor of History, are you wrong!"

These words made Shi Kefa silent!As a high-level executive, he is also very clear about the current virtues of the Ming Dynasty. Shi Kefa is a gentleman, and he can't do it if he is asked to open his eyes and count nonsense.

However, the only thing wrong is that the one who executes the Qingzhang land can be Shi Kefa, Qian Qianyi, Gao Hongtu, Liu Zongzhou, but it can't be Song Qingshu who was born as a traitor and a vulgar warrior from a lowly merchant.

The matter fell apart at the beginning, and after a long silence, Shi Kefa finally clasped his fists again and said dryly.

"Shi Mou received His Majesty's order to take over Yanziji, I don't know Song Shuai!"

"Half an hour later, the commander-in-chief will set sail, and this place is all yours!"

But still couldn't help sighing, Song Qingshu suddenly faced him and hugged his fists heavily.

"May your father and Yangzhou live together through the ages!"

This is a bit inexplicable, and Shi Kefa also clasped his fists in astonishment: "I also wish the commander-in-chief success in fighting the tide in Guangdong and Guangxi!"

When I returned to the bow of the tall Haidayu Ship again, on the other side of the river, the densely packed tank boats carrying the soldiers of the three towns had already faintly come into view, and Xiaojiao was no longer at the bow. It should be busy with Caiwei I went to pack my bags, took another breath of the cold river wind, looked at Ying Tiancheng, Song Qingshu's heavy face was suddenly replaced by a mocking smile, and gently waved his hands together towards Ying Tiancheng , Song Qingshu said with a sneer.

"This commander blesses you, die, be happy!"

"Raise the sails!!!"

…………

On the 22th, more than [-] begging troops began to evacuate from Jinling and Songjiang in a mighty manner. However, it seemed that the imperial court was relieved under the shadow of Song Qingshu until the [-]nd, and Shi Kefa's troops began to take over Yingtian City , and in Anqing, it seemed that the begging army was emptied overnight, and Zuo Liangyu's army also began to go down the river.

The crowd is in full swing!
It seems to have regained the feeling of the early years of Tianqi. Lu Daqi was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Zongzhou was in charge of the Ministry of Finance, Qian Qianyi entered the cabinet, Jiang Yueguang was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and almost all the important positions in the court were mostly taken by Donglin people this time. Occupied, the rest is a minority like Wang Duo and a little bit of the Zhejiang Party is squeezed below. Since its establishment, the Donglin Party has never had such power.

"Come on and see Your Majesty!"

The hatred of seizing love seems to have been repaid. Although Liu Rushi was still not found, Qian Qianyi's old heart was still full of joy. At the court meeting, following Gao Hongtu, wearing a brand new purple robe, Qian Qianyi A group of princes from the Eastern Forest bowed down heavily.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong's face also showed a wave of excitement. Song Qingshu's shipyard, mulberry garden and many other industries are now all included in his Huangzhuang. Tian Cheng has gone Busy taking over, thinking of the huge wealth of the West India Company, he couldn't stop trembling with excitement.

It seems that once Song Qingshu left, everyone got their wish!
