Beiyang new warlord

"It's because of the urgency that I need to smoke a cigarette to calm down!"

He inhaled heavily, and then spit it out as if enjoying himself, Ruan Dacheng's greasy and sweaty fat face was reflected by the light from the tip of the fireworks, he lightly dusted the soot with his fingers, and said in a low voice, "Brother Ma The Great Seal of the Ministry of War was secretly brought back to the mansion by my brother, and when I returned to the mansion, I immediately drafted the official defense, brother, you are troubled tonight, immediately go to Stone City to find Liu Liangzuo to transfer troops, and enter the palace Qingjun side!"

"Master Ruan, are you crazy? Is this a rebellion by sending troops to Beijing without permission?"

"Master Ma, you and I are all on this line! Don't you understand? That bastard Zhang Pu gathered a crowd to make trouble, and he is targeting you and me! Those bastards in Donglin are going to seize power!"

The cigarette butt was thrown halfway, lowered his voice, Ruan Dacheng roared anxiously.

"The purpose of setting up this game today is to drive you and me away from the emperor. If the old man's guess is correct, Qian Qianyi and those bastards have already started to force the palace! Now our advantage is only the soldiers from the Beifu, leading the soldiers to come back. Qianyi Wang Duo bastards, we still have a way to live, otherwise, we will die, and it will be the disaster of the whole family!!!"

When welcoming King Fu, Ma Shiying acted fairly decisively, but the biggest weakness of his character was nostalgia. He originally belonged to the Donglin faction in politics, but was framed for corruption in the internal struggle of Donglin, and sent to Guizhou. It was still Ruan Dacheng. He took money to help him clear the relationship, and then he returned from exile.

If it is a mature politician, these grievances and enmities will be put aside for the time being, and they will choose to cooperate with the most powerful Donglin Party to gain a firm foothold, but Ma Shiying is impatient to pull Ruan Dacheng back when he is not yet stable Speaking of which, in history, during the reign of Emperor Hongguang, the main conflict between Ma Shiying and Donglin also focused on the eunuch's ups and downs.

And he's not cruel enough!With the support of the four Jiangbei towns in history, he even indulged many Donglin veterans to climb to high positions, such as Jiang Yueguang and Gao Hongtu. Whether the Shoufu University Bachelor can sit still is really a question!

At this time, his Achilles' heel had exploded. Facing the dynasty to which he was loyal, it was really too difficult for him to hold high the flag of rebellion!After hesitating for a long time again, he shook his head solemnly.

"Not at all! After all, you and I don't have any crimes to accuse, and besides, the court is troubled now, do Qian Qianyi and others dare to really tear their faces?"

"My Ma Yaocao! It's not a matter of daring, they've already started!"

Ruan Dacheng yelled anxiously again, but at this moment, the big Han general at the door poked his head slightly: "Master Ruan, Lord Ma, it's getting late, please hurry up!"

"Understood, come after taking this sip!"

Ruan Dacheng yelled fiercely and hastily: "Remember, bring the family soldiers to my elder brother immediately when you return to the mansion! You and my manor plus dozens of colleagues and thousands of colleagues!" My life is all in Yaocao's thought!"

Ma Shiying was silent.

After leaving the palace gate, before parting, Ruan Dacheng once again solemnly showed Ma Shiying's figure to disappear into the night, and then he hurried back to the imperial palace in Nanjing.

These days, Jiangnan aristocratic families are very powerful, and every family has private soldiers, and Ruan Dacheng is no exception. If he had been playing around in Nanjing for so many years as an eunuch, he would have been killed long ago. Ruan Dacheng rushed into the study room and hurriedly wrote out a military dispatch order to pacify the chaos. He abandoned the usual long-winded quotations and allusions, and stamped them with red The Great Seal of Shangshu.

Holding the Guanwen and blowing the ink to dry, Ruan Dacheng waited anxiously for Ma Shiying's visit at the door of his house. However, after one stick of incense was burned out, three sticks of incense were burned out, and five sticks of incense were burned out, Ma Shiying was still not seen. With a tall and thin figure, the sixth incense stick was about to be lit, but Ruan Dacheng reached out his hand dejectedly to stop the slave, and immediately stretched out his hand, threw the Guan Fang that he had just written into the brazier, and let out a long sigh.

"Ma Yaocao misunderstood me! Ma Yaocao misunderstood me!"

"Let each room clean up, bring what you can take with you, throw away what you can't take with you, maids and servants can take whatever they want, everyone hurry up and disperse!"

Shouting at the top of his voice, Ruan Dacheng entered the study with a torch in hand. In an instant, the place where he wrote the three-fold drama was ablaze, and the servants and maids packed up their things and ran away like the end of the world. .

At this end, the air was still lingering with the pungent smell of burning paper, but there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from the gate of the mansion. Under the light of the torch, Luo Zhen leaned on his prosthetic limb and kicked Ruan away with a bang. The gate of the mansion, but apart from the clutter, there is only a chair at the door. On the chair, the jade belt of the minister's official uniform and the seal of the minister of war are neatly stacked there.

"The old guy runs fast!"

With a cold snort, without even entering the gate of the mansion, Luo Zhen waved the torch violently again, shouting loudly: "Go to the mansion of Uncle Chengyi Liu Kongzhao, don't let anyone go!"

After the hustle and bustle of the day, Yingtian City in the night seems to be more bloody and murderous. In the streets and alleys, the guards with torches shuttle back and forth like fire dragons. In the middle, the hole burst open.

This is bound to be a sleepless night!

6Chapter 16. Reformation of Neo-Confucians

A coup d'état came so suddenly. In just one night, Nanming's life changed again.

The trick of the Donglin Party is that there are so many people!The overwhelming number of ministers kowtowed and kowtowed, even the Chongzhen Emperor could not bear it back then, let alone the uninitiated Emperor Hongguang, as Ruan Dacheng expected, as soon as he left with Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi and others immediately forced the palace, Zhang Pu outside Zhang Cai led Fushe students to make a fuss, and there were 20 to [-]% of the ministers who kowtowed and impeached in anger. Zhu Yousong still couldn't resist, and issued an imperial decree that night to remove Ma Shiying from the position of chief assistant in the cabinet , Ding Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Chengyi Bo Liu Kongzhao, Zuodu Yushi Wu Weixing and more than [-] people have been charged with more than [-] crimes, including forming a party, eunuchs, fornicating military generals, arrogating power, and corruption, most of which are capital crimes.

Not only was Dong Lin ruthless, but he didn't hesitate!In the early morning, Ma Shiying, a scholar of Shoufu University, his eldest son Ma Luan, his second son Ma Xi, his daughter Ma Ling, and dozens of members of his family were directly tied up, stuffed into a prison cart, and escorted to Caishikou for questioning. The scene of the interrogation did not go away, the situation has changed too much, yesterday he was a court official, a son of a family, and today he ended up with his head on the ground, and the whole Taiping Lane where Ma Shiying lived was filled with wails.

The prison car was escorted to the forefront, and Ma Shiying himself was sighing, and then walked to the main street, and happened to meet Liu Kongzhao, Chengyi Bo, and his party, and was stunned for a moment.

"Uncle Liu, Ma Yaocao owed you something, I'm extremely ashamed!"

Even though he hadn't recovered from the coup, listening to Ma Shiying's apology, this descendant of Liu Bowen showed the courage of his ancestors, stiffened his neck and roared full of resentment.

"Ma Xiang, Mr. Liu doesn't blame you! If you want to blame him, you can only blame him for empty talk, despicable and shameless Donglin thieves, they are called scholars in vain! I, Liu Kongzhao, will turn into a ghost even if my blood is spattered three feet, right here in Yingtian City Come on, watch how they were defeated and fell into the city, their lives and reputations were ruined, and they became eternal sinners!"

"Damn! Qian Qianyi! Jiang Yueguang, you guys are going to die!"

The indignant scolding sounded heart-piercingly, and along the way, countless residents of Yingtian raised their heads, and then shook their heads in embarrassment. Although Ma Shiying has not improved much in the past year since he took office, at least there has been no trouble. Such a big official, said When the whole family is killed, the whole family is killed. The turmoil in the upper class is the most dangerous signal, and there may be some catastrophe in the future!

Amidst all kinds of apprehensive looking and looking, prison cars gathered from all directions at the entrance of Caishi in Nanjing, and soon the milky white morning of Yingtian City was rendered blood red again.

I was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, and I didn't wait for it to be three quarters in the afternoon. As soon as this man came, he was dragged out of the prison car, pushed to the execution ground, and cursed angrily. Even when Liu Kongzhao was pressed on the beheading platform, he kept shouting. , until Dou Da's head whirled and flew out. I don't know if it was intentional. The children of Ma Shiying's tribe were pushed to the guillotine first, but he followed a few courtiers but was pushed behind.

Pity his third daughter, Ma Ling, who is only sixteen years old. Yesterday, the unmarried Miss Huanghua, now has no face, stripped naked, and only the remaining bellyband is difficult to cover her milky white skin. , a pair of small hands were hung behind the back by a thick hemp rope, and her slender arms were strangled like lotus roots. Seeing her being pushed to the guillotine, Ma Shiying couldn't help but burst into tears, and cried miserably .

"Son! If you bear with it, it's over. Daddy has something to do with you, but you walk slowly on the bridge, wait for Daddy, and let Daddy carry you one last time!"

The black hair was fiercely held in the palm of the executioner's hand, and he knelt on the execution ground and stretched his neck, listening to Ma Shiying's wailing, but this Ma Ling also stubbornly turned his head to the side, enduring the twisting of his hair Pain also yelled.

"Father, don't cry, I don't hate you! I only hate God for being blind and letting this group of beasts in clothes and clothes be arrogant in the world. Daddy, I'm going to go first!"

After the stern farewell, the girl knelt down and bowed her head with a pale face, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks, her lips were bitten between her white teeth, and because of nervousness, she held her back tightly on her smooth back. The last pair of fists were clenched blue, the nails were deeply sunken into the flesh, and the fine hairs stood up on the white and tender neck.

The hair was straightened forward by the front executioner, facing the girl's small head, and the rear executioner exhaled, raised the ghost knife high, and chopped it down fiercely, with another snapping sound In the middle, with fear, pain and unwillingness, Ma Ling's head rolled up like Dou E who splashed a three-foot-long flag, and her charmingly smiling body spattered blood and twitched to the side.

When it came to Ma Shiying himself, tears and anger were almost drained. He turned his head and glanced at Yingtian City, which was still shrouded in clouds and mist. He didn't say anything cruel, but couldn't help but sigh.

"The old man is watching from the ground, I hope you Qian Muzhai and the others can work out a peaceful and prosperous world."

........

In one morning, more than 600 heads fell to the ground, which reshuffled the authority of the Nanming Empire. However, since the beginning of the Apocalypse, he had fought to the death with the hot Wei Zhongxian in his early days, and then fought against the Qi Chuzhe Party and the Chongzhen Dynasty. In the second year of Hongguang, the Donglin Party, which had been ups and downs for nearly 30 years, reached its peak for the first time. These last disciples of the so-called Neo-Confucianists took full control of the country.

Shi Kefa was a blessing in disguise, he was promoted to a higher level, and became a Nanming Shoufu University scholar, but everyone knew that his Shoufu was just a sham.

General Manager Liu Zhou Ding was the second assistant, Jiang Yueguang and Wang Duo entered the cabinet, Zhang Shenyan said that the official department did not move, Qian Qianyi entered the rank, and occupied the important position of Minister of the Ministry of War. forest people.

In the end is Zhang Pu. He has been in the opposition party for ten thousand years, and he has been rehabilitated so many times. He can be regarded as a veteran scholar who has made a comeback. It's a party member.

It had to be admitted that Donglin played beautifully. After killing people in the morning, at noon, holding Ma Shiying's unrepentant head and the emperor's edict, Qian Qianyi went straight to Stone City aggressively.His big backer in the court unexpectedly appeared in front of him in such a way overnight, even Liu Liangzuo couldn't help but be in chaos.

Originally, he was already seriously injured in Jiangbei's defeat, and most of the Nanjing Forbidden Army, the backbone of the army, were generals from Nanjing Xungui's family, who were not of one mind with him. After leaving the military power, he received the title of Marquis of An Yi, and was locked up in an unknown corner of Nanjing City to receive a lunch box.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of meritorious scholars poured into the army, and the supervisors at all levels were so dense that even a cook who was in charge of the spoon had two scholars staring at him for stealing food, although so many eyes were fixed on him. , the combat power of the 14 troops in Stone City has dropped by a few hundred again. I don’t know, but since the establishment of the Southern Dynasty, the warlord problem that has been plagued by troubles has been solved by the Donglin officials, which can be regarded as a new atmosphere for the Hongguang Dynasty. .

The only one who escaped from this catastrophe was Ruan Dacheng, who complied with Zhuge Liang's five virtues. He, the street mouse that everyone shouted and beat, was good at defeating and never dying!It seemed that he had also expected this day. Ruan Dabeard had prepared all the roads out of the city in advance and prepared all the necessary packages. Important items and family members were also scattered around Changshu. Then, he went straight to Shanghai County controlled by Dongjiang.

But this old guy was able to run, and he didn't run past Dong Jiang's eyeliner in the south of the Yangtze River. When he ran out of breath to the Luojia Manor by the West Lake, in the study room facing the warm sun, Mao Jue had already studied Qian Qian. Yi and others proclaimed the new policy of the Southern Dynasties to the world.

"The criminal minister Ruan Dacheng kowtowed to the regent Qiantose Qiantui!"

Just as soon as he entered the study, Ruan Dacheng was like a piece of rice cake, smacked to the ground, and it could be seen that the old guy was indeed in a state of embarrassment. The autumn tiger was almost over, but his green vest and robes woven from Sichuan brocade were completely covered. Wet with sweat, a large group of oysters floated on it. As soon as he entered the door, a sour smell came to his nostrils. Hearing his crying voice, he let out a long sigh, and Mao Jue dropped the secret treasure casually. But she didn't pay attention to him, but rubbed her temples anxiously.

The situation in the south of the Yangtze River was laid out by him. The purpose of the plan was to compress the living space of these budding bourgeoisie, cut off the income of the Nanming court, and force the Nanming to be like the bourgeoisie in the late Qing Dynasty. Come out, the Jiangnan bourgeoisie, who are full of aggressiveness and eager for profits and overseas markets, will naturally stand in the same direction as themselves.
