Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Now Shang Zhixin is finally convinced of his military power, and he has been beaten by Shang Kexi, an unfilial father, and he has no temper at all.

Because the short-sighted generals under the Pingnan Prince's Mansion were now frightened by Emperor Kangxi's "strategy of moving the vassal", no one dared to follow his Shang Zhixin to continue to implement the strategy of raising bandits.His identity as a public official is no longer useful.

After thinking about this truth, Shang Zhixin didn't talk nonsense with this unfilial father, he just snorted: "Ama, don't think that Jieyang was defeated because I raised bandits... I saved the Pingnan Palace for us. Thousands of elites!

If these thousands of people are gone because of the second child, our family will really be over! "

After saying those words, Shang Zhixin strode out of Jiujian Hall, then left Pingnan Palace without looking back, and returned to his Shizi's Palace.

Here Shang Zhixin just left, while Shang Zhixiao and Jin Guang entered the Jiujian Hall together.

Shang Zhixiao looks a lot like Shang Kexi, a big fat man with a Chinese character face, looks majestic, and has been leading troops in Guangdong with his father all these years, and his prestige in the army is much higher than that of my father, Shang Zhixin... But Shang Zhixiao The family army is a slave army, and the ability to lead soldiers in battle and seniority in the army are of no use. The most important thing is that the slaves are well-behaved and can win the favor of the Manchurian master!

If it hadn't been for the news of "Shang Wu's exchange" from Beijing this time, the generals under the Pingnan Prince's Mansion would never have abandoned I Dagong Shang Zhixin and supported Pingnan Prince's second son Shang Zhixiao.Shang Kexi said it was useless to break the sky...the "slaves" are there!

And Shang Zhixiao, who just got the military power, seemed very excited. After saluting his father, he patted his chest and assured him: "Ama, don't worry, there is a child to oversee the army, and the two rebels, Prince Zhu and Grandson Zhu, must not have escaped!"

Shang Kexi glanced at his son: "Are you better at fighting with soldiers than Liu Jinzhong?"

Shang Zhixiao said confidently: "Ama, my boy thinks he is better than Liu Jinzhong."

Shang Kexi squinted his old eyes and looked at his son, then spit out two words: "Not enough!"

"What's not enough?" Shang Zhixiao didn't seem to understand.

"Second son," Jin Guang, Shang Kexi's mastermind, took the question and replied, "What the lord means is that it is not enough for you to be stronger than Liu Jinzhong, because the third grandson of Zhu is much better at fighting than Liu Jinzhong!

In fact, Shizi was right to hold thousands of people to do nothing before, otherwise, as soon as Liu Jinzhong retreated, our fan army would be pushed up by Mi Sihan to fight a decisive battle with the green battalion soldiers led by Yan Junmen.The third grandson of Zhu San defeated Liu Jinzhong's 300 people with 4000 people before. If Qiu Hui's troops and the soldiers sent by Zheng Jing were all gathered under him... Mi Sihan might not be able to win this decisive battle! "

"Ama, the battle of Jieyang must have been a fluke, right?" Shang Zhixiao still didn't buy it.

"Lucky?" Shang Kexi snorted, "When will you fight a lucky one and show me one against ten?"

"Then, what should we do then?" Shang Zhixiao didn't know what to say.

Shang Kexi looked at his second son, his eyebrows were about to meet again.

This son is very fierce in war, but he is brave and foolhardy, and his heart is too sincere. This is far inferior to his elder brother!

Jin Guang, Shang Kexi's counselor, has always supported Shang Zhixiao. Seeing Shang Kexi's expression, he knew that the second son could not continue to behave.So he hurriedly came out to offer suggestions for Shang Zhixiao: "My lord, second son, after all, today's son is a wise lord, the so-called change of domain and town is mostly a strategy to stabilize Wu Sangui so that he will not be forced to rebel.

Of course, there is also the meaning of beating our Pingnan Palace...but it will never force us to attack the strong with the weak.Therefore, the prince only needs to seize the military power of the son, and then let the second son lead the elite soldiers of the palace to serve under Master Mi.The matter of changing towns and domains should not be further advanced.

As for the matter of exterminating the Third Prince Zhu... the old man thought that it would be safe to gather elite soldiers from all walks of life in Guangdong and Fujian, and then step by step, killing chickens with a sledgehammer! "

Chapter 074 Lao Tzu's court just opened!

On the other side of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi used the big trick he learned from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and used the strategy of two tigers competing for food, forcing the big tiger in the Pingnan Palace to finally cheer up and prepare to concentrate on fighting with the third prince Zhu and the third grandson Zhu. When this group of rebels is doing a big job.On the side of Jieyang County, the father and son of the Zhu family, who already own half of the county, are not idle. They are making plans to start a big business for the imperial court!

This is really great!

Zhu Hesheng started a business in his previous life and opened a small factory producing high-quality imitation perfume and liquor. In this life, he made a high-quality imitation of the third grandson of Zhu, and then set up a small-scale imperial court...but that is also an imperial court!

Although the transaction is small, the risk is enormous.Although the risk of a high imitation being smashed is not small, it is not life-threatening after all.And if the court closed down, it would not be a single death, but a massacre of extermination.

But no matter how great the risk is, Zhu Jushan, Zhu and Sheng, father and son, have to bite the bullet and go on.

There is no such thing as washing hands in a golden basin when opening business for the imperial court!

So the two fathers and sons of the Zhu family, military adviser Zhuge, Da Boling, and eunuch Pang, a total of five people, are discussing how to deal with the affairs of the court secretly in the Daxian Pavilion in the back garden of Jieyang County Yamen today.

This secret meeting was not easy!

Because Zhu Hesheng didn't listen to Lao Tzu's words, and took Da Boling's "big human desire" as his own, so after the heavenly king Zhu entered the city, he sulked in his palace, which was the original Xietai Yamen, for many days. , refused to meet Zhu Hesheng.

However, under the mediation of Zhuge Junjun and Pang Eunuch, Zhu Jushan finally forgave his son Zhu Qipao and righteous sister Daboling after a few days of sulking.

Then, Zhu Hesheng came forward to convene this secret meeting.

The content of the discussion at the meeting was actually one - how to deal with the business of the imperial court!

Now there are no outsiders in the Daxian Pavilion, and there is no one in the garden outside the Daxian Pavilion. The entrances to the garden are also guarded by Zhu Hesheng's confidantes.So Zhu Hesheng can open the skylight and speak brightly now!

"Father, military advisor, factory official, sister Ling..." Zhu Hesheng said, "You all know what happened to the Third Prince Zhu and the Third Grandson Zhu, right?"

"Hmm." Zhu Jushan nodded.

"I know." Military Master Zhuge could pinch and count, so how could he not know?

"It's difficult to know." Of course Eunuch Pang knew it too.

"I also know." Da Boling also nodded. She was one of the people who persuaded Zhu Jushan to pretend to be the third prince Zhu at the beginning, so she also knew the secret.

Zhu Hesheng nodded, and said, "This matter... there must be no sixth person to know about it!"

In fact, Yang Qilong knew about Zhu Jushan and Zhu Hesheng pretending to be Zhu's third prince and Zhu's third grandson, and Wu Yingxiong and Monk Zhixin may also know about it, but Zhu Hesheng will not disclose the names of these three insiders now.

"understand!"

"I know!"

"It's so hard to speak!"

"The slave family will not tell the outside world."

Seeing that everyone nodded, Zhu Hesheng then said to his father Zhu Jushan: "Father, we can no longer use the original names, you have to call yourself Dingwang Zhu Cijiong, and your child will be called Dingwang Shizi Zhu Hexi... The ji next to the word soil!"

Zhu Jushan nodded helplessly, and said: "That's the only way... From now on, I will be King Ding Zhu Cijiong!"

"Then I will call you King Father from now on!" Zhu Heqi smiled and said again, "I, Lord Qi, Lin Ahu, Su Yong, Ma Xiucai, Li Laocai, Zhongyi Zhao and the others will be here in two days. Big Brother Hui and Liu Guanzhen will also come to Jieyang County in the next two days... Once everyone is here, our court will officially open!

Before that, we have to come up with a business strategy ourselves, and Chen Junshi, Da Laohui and Liu Guanzhen can't have the final say on everything. "

These days, Zhu's father and son are "enlarging vacations" in Jieyang County, sullen and sullen, and wanting to keep others.And the old man Yu, Lin Ahu, Su Yong, Ma Xiucai, Zhao Zhongyi, Li Youcai and others at the bottom split up to attract people to settle in and around Jieyang County. The Su family in Haibao and the Yu family in Guiyu all moved to live in Jieyang County and the "island" where the county seat is located.The Lin family in Chengtian, the Ma family in Longjing, and the Li family in Longtian were all dismantled into two, and some households moved out to settle in Jieyang County.

In the past few days, these people who were sent out to pull people's heads have led people to Jieyang County one after another, and the acting county magistrate Luo Dafa is arranging housing and land. The population around Jieyang County is relatively large in Chaozhou Prefecture. , but it is far from dense.In addition, another batch ran away during the chaos.Therefore, there are many empty houses in the city, and there are many unowned lands outside the city.It is no problem to accommodate a thousand people coming from outside.

And with the population of thousands of households, the Zhu family's father and son's control over Jieyang County has been greatly strengthened!Moreover, the military force of the direct line also has a foundation-one soldier per household, one thousand heavenly soldiers for one thousand households!

Therefore, further "court management" can be considered.

"Business strategy?" Zhu Jushan, no, Zhu Cijiong, the third prince, gave his son a glance, "This is the establishment of an imperial court. Do you think it is a business?"

Zhu Hechi smiled and said, "Father, of course opening a court is not a business, but we have all done business, but never a court, so let's treat the court as a business first... Whether it is business or court, it's all important." It is inseparable from making money, spending money, borrowing money, and saving money, and I think they are all the same.”

"Why is it all money?" Zhu Cijiong, the third prince, mentioned "money", and his red face full of righteousness was full of disdain.

Eunuch Pang was very supportive of Zhu Hechi's opinion, and said with a smile, "Third Prince, it's not a shame to start a court to make money. Back then, your father, Master Wei Temple, died because of lack of money!"

Hearing this, Third Prince Zhu felt awkward, Master Wei Temple became his father... this is a happy father!

Zhu Hechi nodded, "That's right! What the factory lord said is quite right. My grandfather died because he had no money to raise soldiers. We have to learn a lesson! Factory lord, your things and money are very well managed by the factory. Okay, can you take it out and buy a share?"

This is still a joint-stock imperial court!

"What? The Dongyin Money Factory that is going to be difficult?" Eunuch Pang never thought that his fortune was coming to an end, and he was in a hurry.

But how could Zhu Heqi let Dongyin Coin Factory go?This silver coin factory has a one-stop process of absorbing deposits, lending loans and minting coins. When it is done well, it will be the central bank!

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi quickly winked at Military Master Zhuge and Da Boling.

Military Master Zhuge said: "Third Grandson, Pindao has eighteen volumes of "Kong Ming's Last Letter" handed down by his family, and he took them all out to buy shares!"

He would be an empty-handed white wolf!

Zhu Hechi nodded, "Okay! Thank you, Military Advisor!"

Da Boling was so generous, she patted her chest and said: "Grandson, slave's subordinates, and slave's body are all yours!"

It's still my aunt who hurts people!He gave himself to Zhu and Qi, and didn't ask for shares.Zhu Heqi smiled and said, "Thank you, too, Sister Ling!"

The third prince Zhu saw the love between the two, so he had nothing to say, but said to Eunuch Pang: "Chang Chen, you just agree, the court has your share... In the future, when our court is established, you will always be the one." A family of princes, and hereditary, no successor, rest with the country!"

Eunuch Pang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Well, it's hard to be eunuch, who will this prince pass on to?"

"Isn't there still a little eunuch?" Zhu Heqi said, "Pass it to him! Has he not been eunuched yet?"

"Not yet..." Eunuch Pang shook his head and sighed, "That's really cheap for him!" The old eunuch thought about it, but still felt that he was at a loss, so he said: "It's hard to be a nine thousand nine hundred Years old! He has what Wei Zhongxian has, but Pang Yongzhong must have it!"

Well, even nine thousand and nine hundred years old!This newly opened Ming Dynasty is really "authentic"!

Chapter 075

"Fine! I agree! Eunuch Pang, as long as my father officially becomes the Long Live Lord, you will be nine thousand nine hundred years old, and you will be Wei Zhongxian's second!"

Zhu Heqi expressed his opinion immediately, and then gave Da Boling a wink.

Da Boling also immediately echoed: "The slave family listens to the grandson, the grandson agrees, and the slave family also agrees!"

Hearing these two people express their views, the heavenly king Zhu who has become Zhu Cijiong felt a little wrong. Why did two people wear a pair of pants in the five-person meeting? No, they should sleep in the same bed?So he looked at the military adviser Zhuge Sanhe.

"Poverty Dao also thinks it's feasible!" Zhuge Sanhe said with a smile, "As long as Eunuch Pang can hand over the money factory to the imperial court, why can't he be nine thousand nine hundred years old?"

Four of the five members have reached an agreement!

"Middle!" Heavenly King Zhu had no choice but to agree, "That's it!"

Zhu Heqian let out a sigh of relief, with a look of success, and then said: "Father, our family's business has relied on the help of Eunuch Pang, Military Advisor Zhuge and Sister Ling for so many years, so that we can get to where we are today step by step. If we want to continue to grow in the future, we cannot do without the help of the three of them."

What he said is correct, the Dananshan bandit nest of Tianwang Zhu and Huo Pao Zhu's father and son is actually a joint-stock bandit nest!

The force of the Shanzhai has always been a joint venture between Tian Wang Zhu, Huo Pao Zhu, and Da Boling, and it is the Zhuge military division who advises the Shanzhai. In addition, Pang Gonggong, who supports the Shanzhai with money, maintains the situation of the Danan Mountain bandits.

Under these five people, there are two big thugs, Zhao Zhongyi, the confidant of the heavenly king Zhu, and Su Yong, the confidant of Da Boling, in addition to the old man Yu, who is Zhu and Qi's confidant... Count all three of them, that is a "Eight kings discuss politics".But the real core is the five of them, Tianwang Zhu, Huo Pao Zhu, Da Boling, Zhuge Military Division and Pang Gonggong.

Zhu Hexi carefully chose his words, and then continued: "Father, the five of us will make an oath in the Daxian Pavilion today, so that we will share the difficulties and share the blessings... We should discuss together any important military affairs. What do you think?"

Heavenly King Zhu touched his five long beards, looked at his son, then at his righteous sister and daughter-in-law, and finally at Zhuge Junshi—he was trapped in the capital of Guiyu some time ago, and the military division is his backbone ah!

Military Master Zhuge pretended to count with his fingers, and said: "The five sons are united, and the Ming Dynasty can be restored... The third prince, the grandson's words are not bad!"

At this time, Da Bo Ling gave Eunuch Pang a wink, and Eunuch Pang immediately said, "It's hard to think that's the reason... How about this, let's give the military advisor and Sister Ling an iron hat king in the future! "

"No, no, how can a slave be a king?" Da Boling shook her head quickly.

Zhu Heqi smiled and said: "Sister Ling, if you can't be a king, you can make a lady who is better than a prince... No, this is all a matter of the future. My father is only a king and supervises the country now, and I am a king. How can I become a king? At most a few princes. When my father is officially enthroned in the future, I will confer kings on Eunuch Pang and the military adviser, and a wife of a great country who is better than a prince on Sister Ling. Father, you think this is good ?”

"Okay, let's do it like this." Tianwang Zhu thought about it and thought it was quite appropriate, so he nodded. He looked at his son who was a bit suspected of "usurping power", "Saizi, do you have anything else to say?"

"Of course!" Zhu Heqi suddenly changed into a sacred and solemn expression, looking at the king of heaven Zhu, Pang Gonggong, Zhuge Junshi and Da Boling, "Who are we fighting for now, and why are we fighting?"

Heavenly King Zhu Zhengse said: "Of course it is to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and to fight for the great tomorrow!"

"Yes, Your Majesty is right!" Military Master Zhuge also said, "Of course we are fighting for Kuangfu Mingshi!"

Eunuch Pang also said: "Difficult is also Daming's loyal minister, so naturally he is loyal to Daming!"

Da Boling said with a smile: "Master, I don't know what the world is, I'm just for you."

But Zhu Heyi shook his head and said: "These words are just for the Daxian Pavilion... Can you tell the world? Can you tell Chen Junshi and Liu Guanzhen? Can you tell Yanping County King? Yes Let the anti-Qing patriots who follow us have a sense of sacredness for the country, the people, and the world?"

What do you mean?

I don't understand at all!

Heavenly King Zhu, Eunuch Pang, and Da Boling all looked bewildered, while Army Master Zhuge was thoughtful.

On the other hand, there was a sacred and solemn expression on Zhu Hechi's face—he hadn't been sparring with Da Boling all day and night these days, and he had also spent a lot of time thinking about the country and revolution!

Of course he knew that although he might rely on the gold finger of "sweet gunpowder" and the San Francisco Rebellion to overthrow the rule of the Qing Dynasty, he might not be able to replace it, or even build a better country...and overthrow the rule of the Qing Dynasty , is only "possible".

After all, Emperor Kangxi's strength is still very strong, and the current Eight Banners children have not degenerated to the point of carrying a cage and a bird to smoke opium.

In addition, Zhu Heyi also discovered a very headache these days, that is, the social conflicts in the early Qing Dynasty were not sharp...don't roll!

Emperor Kangxi's household accounts only had more than 1000 million people, and the number was as high as 6000 to 6000 million.Historically, the population of the Qing Dynasty exceeded [-] million in the Yongzheng period. Pushing forward to the tenth year of Kangxi, the estimate of [-] to [-] million is not low.This number was only about one-eighth of the total population of the country during the Taiping Rebellion!

But the actual number of cultivated land is not much less than that of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After all, the land is there!There are at least [-] billion mu, and the per capita arable land is [-] mu!

Moreover, there are large tracts of abandoned or undeveloped land in the Qing Dynasty.For example, the entire Northeast is basically deserted, and the south and north of the desert outside the Great Wall are also deserted. Sichuan, the land of abundance, is also like a wild animal, and the "outside" lands in the coastal provinces are also sparsely populated, and there are wastelands everywhere.

As for other places that are not too barren, the population is not too large.There are only a few places, such as the mountainous areas in eastern Guangdong and northern Guangdong, because the population loss during the Ming and Qing Dynasties was relatively small, so they are still a bit "rolled".But relying on this "volume" to sweep the whole world, it is very unlikely.

Therefore, Zhu Heqi knew that he drew strength from social contradictions, and the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty...to be honest, its appeal is limited.

After all, the situation in the late Ming Dynasty was also quite bad. The court was corrupt and incompetent, and it encountered the Little Ice Age, and the population at the end of the Ming Dynasty also made the agricultural production in the Little Ice Age unaffordable.Therefore, the living standards of ordinary people are generally not as good as those in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. In an agricultural society, it depends on the sky and the earth, with good weather and more land per capita, so they can always have enough to eat.

Later generations on the Internet often ridiculed that the prosperous age of Kangxi was a prosperous age of sweet potatoes. As far as Zhu Heqi knows, it does not exist... Maybe the prosperous age of Qianlong was a prosperous age of sweet potatoes, but with the population of Kangxi, how can there be any need to eat sweet potatoes?

In addition, those unscrupulous scholar-officials have the way of serving the Qing Dynasty as slaves through the imperial examinations, so they may not miss the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Heqi felt that he needed a group of anti-Qing patriots who not only possessed golden finger weapons, but also were more determined in their thinking.

And to arm the minds of the anti-Qing patriots...it is not enough to rely on the slogan of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming!
