Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 302 Before the Great War ([-])

At this time, the sky outside the window was already a little dark. Although it was not too late, it was getting dark very quickly.Thinking of his newborn son, Qiu Tianxing was filled with joy, he decided to get off work early and go back to tease the child.It is Qiu Tianxing's greatest happiness to be able to witness the growth of several children. All he does now is to lay the foundation for his children.

On the first day of this month, Li Xiafang gave birth to a boy for Qiu Tianxing.According to the name Qiu Tianxing had thought of long ago, Li Xiafang's child was named Qiu Dixiang.Qiu Dixiang's birth had a great influence on the security regiment. The morale of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce soared, and even the stocks were sold out. It seemed that the businessmen felt that the security regiment's favorable policy was finally guaranteed. A male, as the grandson of Li Yuanbao, minister of industry and commerce, and one of the heirs of the security regiment, was their greatest reliance.

Contrary to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the morale of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was somewhat low. The grandson of the minister was no longer the only son of the head, and he had a competitor since then.Unconsciously, many high-level personnel also began to stand in line, standing in the team of Qiu Tianxing's successor.Just like in the government army, in Qiu Tianxing's backyard there were also constant confrontations in secret.After giving birth, Li Xiafang directly transferred several trusted women from her natal family, and then simply started a business by herself. From buying vegetables to cooking to eating, everything was done by her own people, and even the internal officials of the security team His family members are also untouchable.Zhou Xiu was extremely annoyed by this attitude of fear and worry about someone.

As a result, the tension between Zhou Xiu's place and Li Xiafang's place also became tense. Even Qiu Tianxing could feel the hostility between the two sides. When Zhou Xiu's maid Xiaolan and Li Xiafang's maid Xiaoli met, knives seemed to come out of their eyes.The child in Li Xiafang's womb was fine when she didn't know the gender, but now it's definitely a boy, and the two parties are almost as if they are hostile.

There are factional conflicts within any force, and so do the security forces.In the past, when the security group was weak, everyone could work together to ignore conflicts and work together. Now that the power is strong, the interests and conflicts of the factions are beginning to be reflected.In addition to the first battalion, the second battalion, the fourth battalion and the sixth battalion distributed outside to form a self-contained system, the security regiment is also mainly divided into two major factions.One faction is the former landlord and gentry class headed by Zhou Zhen, and the other is the emerging merchant class headed by Li Yuanbao.The biggest contradiction surrounding the two factions is the successor dispute, and the way the two factions struggle to win or lose is to see who among Qiu Tianxing's sons can become the ultimate heir.

Qiu Dining became the successor of the security regiment, and Zhou Zhen's faction won. In the future, perhaps the policy of the security regiment will return to the point where it is closer to Qianming.Although Zhou Zhen has followed Qiu Tianxing for many years, he has also accepted many of Qiu Tianxing's ideas in his heart.However, due to the early establishment of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, many scholars and scholars from the former Ming Dynasty were mixed in at the beginning. Although these people apparently obeyed the orders of the security group and supported the various policies of the security group, there were also many people who missed the policies of the former Ming Dynasty and missed In the era when scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars were the only ones, they were unwilling to be in court with the merchant class, and disdain to work with these poor people.Even if there is an intersection with each other due to helplessness in daily work, it is barely tolerable.There are also some landlords who are forced to convert their land into stocks and are also the biggest supporters of Zhou Zhen's faction.Although they are businessmen today, they are still landlords at heart, and their greatest wish is to re-own the land and pass it on from generation to generation.So they also rallied around Zhou Zhen, hoping that Qiu Dining would restore the land private ownership system after taking over as head of the regiment in the future, so that they could be big landlords again.

The difference from Qiu Dining's succession is that if Li Xiafang's son Qiu Dixiang becomes Qiu Tianxing's successor, Li Yuanbao's merchant class will start to take power. In the future, the security group may truly start the colonial era under the impetus of the merchants. The goods will be pushed to the world.At this time, the struggle between the two factions is no longer just a battle for unification, but also a battle for doctrine.

In fact, Qiu Tianxing was also worried that he would die in the future, so he spared no effort to support the emerging business class and suppress Zhou Zhen's rights and status.It's just that politics doesn't mean that one side must be reused and the other side must be completely eliminated. Although Zhou Zhen has gradually become the leader of a faction that is to the left of his own ideas, Qiu Tianxing cannot easily move him.First of all, the security regiment is now surrounded by enemies on all sides. There are more than a dozen enemies in total, and the headquarters of the security regiment only occupies less than two provinces. Outnumbered.If Zhou Zhen is moved, the headquarters may really be split. At this time, the headquarters can no longer bear the danger of splitting.

Secondly, the merchant class really value profit over righteousness. If the merchant class is completely in power, Qiu Tianxing will also worry that his own seat and the seat of his successor will be lost. Therefore, the balance between the two factions makes Qiu Tianxing most at ease.It's just that Zhou Zhen's faction is far more powerful than Li Yuanbao now, so Qiu Tianxing keeps suppressing Zhou Zhen, of course only slowly.During the suppression process, Qiu Tianxing not only had to pay attention to the scale, but also avoided hurting Zhou Zhen's heart too much, and even had to make amends and exchanges with him in some aspects.After all, Zhou Zhen is also a veteran of the security team, and his father-in-law is the grandfather of his eldest son. If it is too much, it will make people feel that he has a cold nature and will make many old people in the security team feel cold.Although Qiu Tianxing is now the head of the regiment, he can't do anything recklessly, and it's not easy to do some things.

Fortunately, Qiu Tianxing is still young, and it is still too early to be a big star. As for the fact that after his death, Qiu Dining and Qiu Dixiang brothers may have a brother-in-law fight, it is still very far away, so he doesn't want to think too much at the moment .My sons are still young, and it will take many, many years before they grow up.Even though Qiu Dining and Qiu Dixiang may fight endlessly because of their different positions in the future, they are both their own sons after all, and their palms and backs are full of flesh.Now Qiu Tianxing is still immersed in the joy of having another son, and the conspiracy and tricks of Wang Tu's hegemony are all diluted by the joy of being a father again.

Although Qiu Tianxing is now gradually advancing on the road to becoming a hero, he looks resolute and decisive on the outside, and his methods are cruel. It is not uncommon for 10 people to die after an order is signed.But Qiu Tianxing is not a person who looks the same, he is essentially an ordinary person longing for a peaceful life.Although he made a mess of his family, he still yearns for the warmth and happiness from his family.

So Qiu Tianxing exchanged for the big secretary Xu Sheng, and after explaining some things, he left in a hurry. He wanted to go back and play with his youngest son.At this time, he forgot about the urgent military situation and the busy government affairs. This was his real leisure time, and it was also the time he was most looking forward to.
