Bring the whole war back to Nanming

Chapter 68 Daming Cancer
Fang Xiaobai's worries came true, and countless scholars rushed into the temporary mansion, but to his surprise, the scholars did not come to ask to be his aides, but to make friends with him.

Fang Xiaobai was dumbfounded by this operation. He just won a battle and became so famous that scholars from all over the south of the Yangtze River would come to greet me?

When things go wrong, there must be a demon!After some probing and understanding, Fang Xiaobai discovered that most of the people who came to visit the mansion were members of the Donglin Party!
Sending off the last member of the Donglin Party today, Fang Xiaobai finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Boris, thank you behind closed doors, chatting with scholars all day long, and didn't even eat lunch."

Boris closed the door sloppily, and ordered the servants to close the side door tightly, to prevent the scholars who were sticking around.

"Boris! Do you know why the Ming Kingdom can't defeat the barbarians in the north?"

Nonsensical words asked Boris who was just walking back: "My lord, isn't it because the Ming country's military equipment is weak and its combat power is weak?"

Fang Xiaobai smiled and shook his head: "You have seen those scholars before, what are your comments?"

This question awakened Boris. Recalling the scene of Fang Xiaobai meeting scholars, he shook his head speechlessly: "My lord, they are just empty talkers. If it is like what they said, why didn't the bloody battle in Yangzhou last month go wrong?" Did you see their figures?"

"Hahaha! As expected of the Elector of Midden, you can tell at a glance that they are talking on paper. That's right, the Donglin Party members have almost such virtues. They have great words but no actual actions."

Fang Xiaobai stood up, stretched his waist, and swept away his previous fatigue: "Boris, these Donglin party members who have been here for a few days are the routine stones of Nanjing Donglin party ministers. They dare not contact me directly. Send them to test my attitude."

"My lord, we have nothing to do with the Donglin party members, why did they come to us?"

"It used to be impossible to fight, but now it's different. Shi Kefa, the biggest backer of the Donglin Party, died, and I, in their eyes, was the military officer that Shi Kefa single-handedly raised. Make friends with me, even if I am not in the court, there is still a certain deterrent effect on the Eunuch Party, making them dare not wantonly suppress the officials of the Donglin Party in the court."

"Sir, I don't know about the official affairs of the Ming Dynasty, but from what you said, neither the Donglin Party nor the Eunuch Party are good birds. Well... that should be the correct expression."

Fang Xiaobai laughed out loud. After traveling to this world for a few months, his subordinate has even learned the language of Chinese teasers.

"You're right. Those guys in power in the Ming Dynasty are all cancerous and pests. No one who comes to power can save the end of the empire."

He paused, as if he remembered something: "Do you know Zuo Liangyu?"

Boris shook his head in confusion.Fang Xiaobai showed an expression that was indeed true, and said slightly mysteriously: "Zuo Liangyu, the Marquis of Ningnan in the Ming Dynasty, guarded Wuchang, and was known as an 80-strong army. Because he was recommended as an official by Hou Xun, a member of the Donglin Party in his early years, he was very important to the Donglin Party. He had a good impression of him, and later vented his anger on Huang Shuzhan, a member of the Donglin Party who was the censor of the imperial army, and actually launched a large army to clear the emperor's side. Although it was unsuccessful, it had a huge impact on the Hongguang court at that time."

Boris gasped. He didn't expect the Donglin Party, which had never caught his eye, to have such great energy. He was surprised and became more vigilant: "My lord, you should stay away from them."

Seeing that Fang Xiaobai didn't take it seriously, Boris understood.

"You don't have to worry. In the face of absolute power, no conspiracy is worth mentioning. You, Alarielle, and Lawn are my most loyal subordinates and friends. With you commanding the army for me, I can rest assured that sooner or later, I will lead the army and take back what is ours."

"I will follow your banner to the death!"

Boris performed the aristocratic etiquette to Fang Xiaobai with a solemn expression, his one eye exuded a strange light.

A few days later, at the pier in Yangzhou, several middle-aged men in casual clothes walked down from the passenger ship, flaunting around for a while, but no one was following them. The middle-aged men breathed a sigh of relief: "It's too aggressive. Be careful and don't leave any excuses to the eunuchs."

The young man bowed his hands and said yes, and called a carriage for the middle-aged man. They lowered their straw hats, got into the carriage, closed their eyes and rested.

Not long after, the carriage stopped slowly, the young man jumped out of the carriage, helped the middle-aged man to get off the carriage, and said respectfully: "Sir, we are here."

The middle-aged man opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the four big characters Porupp Mansion, and four imperial halberd soldiers stood outside the door, staring at them with uneasy expressions.

"Too fast, let's go."

Ignoring the guard's hostility, the middle-aged man took out a piece of letter paper from his cuff, and walked over calmly.

"Brother, please inform me that someone from Nanjing is here. I hope to meet Uncle. This is a small meaning. I hope you will be accommodating."

The middle-aged man stuffed the letter paper and a piece of silver into the hands of the halberd soldier, with a smile on his face.

"Sorry, friend, I can't accept your money. If the captain knows that I have done this, he will not forgive me. I can convey your request, but let me tell you in advance that the count has been in a bad mood recently, do you understand?"

The halberd guard refused the middle-aged man's bribe. Sigma was the one, he really wanted to accept it, but compared to losing his job as a guard, this little money was not enough.

The guard ordered the comrades on duty to pay attention to their actions, and walked into the mansion with the envelope.

He didn't keep the middle-aged man waiting for too long. Ten minutes later, the halberd guard ran out quickly: "Several friends, the Earl is here to invite you!"

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jun!"

Guided by the servants, the middle-aged man and his party came to the not-so-spacious lobby. A dozen ordinary tables and chairs were placed on both sides of the lobby, and several cups of steaming tea had already been placed on the table.

"My lords, Uncle has something to do, he will be here soon, please have some tea first, please wait for a while."

"Thank you bro!"

Under the gaze of the middle-aged man, he quickly exited the lobby and went about his business.

The young man turned around in the lobby a few times, and was amazed: "Sir, I never thought that this poor Ruper would gain power, and the furniture is so simple and simple, it is not even comparable to a big family in the country."

The middle-aged man smiled: "Tai Chong, Po Rubo is a very weird person. He doesn't like luxury and is easy-going and generous, so he can be appreciated by the Shige Department. This son is not a treasure. Come here and shoulder the important responsibility of the future of the Ming Dynasty. Don't judge me!"

The young man looked startled and said hurriedly: "What the teacher taught is that the students are reckless."

At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter came from behind the lobby. Fang Xiaobai strode into the lobby and bumped into the eyes of the middle-aged man.

"You are the leader of Donglin Party, Minister of Rites Qian Qianyi!"
