Chapter 744: It is impossible to release people
Because Eunuch Wei was "over-frightened", he couldn't ride a horse, and the weather was getting colder, so the old man was afraid of being frozen, so he asked his left and right to build an eight-carriage sedan for him.
Lying in these eight-carrying sedan chairs, my father-in-law felt a sense of pleasure and accomplishment that he had reached the climax of his life and was about to reach the peak.
The ceremonial guards cover the sky and the sun, the long banners and flags are swaying around, and the armored men are crowded with people, without introducing themselves. Everyone knows how cool it is to arrive at the Admiral Wei Jia. How powerful it is!
The officials of Yangzhou Prefecture finally faced the identity of Eunuch Wei. Although they were not afraid of Eunuch Wei like the leading cadres in Gaoyou, their support along the way was quite good, for fear that eunuch Wei would have a different view of them.
It feels so good to have a soldier in hand. Unfortunately, many mining tax officials only regard the emperor's trust as a trump card to save their lives, ignoring the meaning of building a knife handle, and ending up losing their lives.
Gao Huai, the tax supervisor of the Rugan Mining, was well aware of this. He established a private army Flying Tiger Army in only two years in Liaodong, thus becoming a prestigious in Liaodong for ten years. There were many people who were recruited, but they were all used as thugs and murderers. Such subordinates would be useless at critical moments!
Unfortunately, although Gao Huai knew the benefits of the knife handle, he just touched the door and did not find out the truth.
scale!
Gao Huai's Flying Tiger Army still lacked its size, and when it was strong, there were only more than a thousand people.
Compared with the 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in Liaodong, how could this number of soldiers be saved?
A military change in the closed door will bring Gao Huai back to its original form.
If Gao Huai had tens of thousands of troops in his hands during the closing army, he would be afraid that even Li Chengliang would not dare to take this dangerous move.
Eunuch Wei was a human being for two lifetimes, and was taught by dragon-slaying techniques in his previous life. His ideology and morality were excellent every semester, and he would never shake the bottle as much as Gao Huai.
What did he and Gaoyou Weisuo do for five hundred people?
Not for the expansion of the army!
Within two years, building an amphibious elite soldier with more than 10,000 troops was a small goal set by Eunuch Wei for himself.
This year, we will first complete the scale of 10,000 people.
Looking at the entire history of the late Ming Dynasty, let alone a powerful army of hundreds of thousands, and a 30,000 or 20,000 can "you fight wherever we point."
In addition to receiving the orders, my father-in-law wanted to see if he could get some more people from Yangzhou.
No matter who he is willing to leave with him, Eunuch Wei, he wants it.
Even the death row prisoners in prison, Eunuch Wei wanted to take them away with him with a ticket.
Just as I was thinking about how to get people from Yangzhou, I came to report that an official was visiting my father-in-law.
When Eunuch Wei was happy, he hurriedly ordered the sedan chair to be brought by others in the future.
The official who came was Yangzhou Tongzhe Wang Wenxiu, a sixth-rank official, the third in charge of Yangzhou, with a Tongzhi and a magistrate. In his previous life, he was probably the executive deputy mayor level and was equipped with a deputy department.
Baoying's deputy was retired. My father-in-law could be polite, and he could be polite. This deputy director is on duty and he is still here to visit him. My father-in-law can't treat him coldly.
He wondered if the judge Wang Tong was smart, thinking that he had a bright future and came to visit the mountain gate in advance. If so, his father-in-law would naturally accept the other party's "gratitude". If it was good, he would be a reserve member of the "elebrity party". Of course, once the father-in-law was optimistic, the matter of demanding people would have to fall on the deputy hall.
It’s not that I have to accept a “vote for granting”.
Unexpectedly, Wang Wenxiu was just a guest, not a real owner, nor was he here to curry favor with you, Eunuch Wei, but was entrusted by someone.
The two other middle-aged people were really going to meet Eunuch Wei.
These two names were spoken by Wang Wenxiu, and Eunuch Wei was surprised on the spot.
This is really the first one to be bigger and the reputation is better than the other.
The first one is this year's Palace Test Hualang, the future leader of Donglin and the leader of Jiangnan literary world Qianyi.
Qian Qianyi has not achieved success in the future. He is just thirty years old this year, and he has just passed the school to visit relatives. It is the time to be proud of his youth.
The second one is amazing, known as the last Confucian master of the Ming Dynasty, with his surname Liu and his name is Zongzhou. However, he is also young now, only four years older than Qian Qianyi.
Wang Wenxiu is a real person. He knew that Yangzhou could not afford to offend this arrogant and arrogant admiral who even dared to extort Gaoyouwei, so he put his posture very low and smiled and told the purpose of Qian Tanhua and Liu Daru coming.
But he wanted to ask Eunuch Wei to be kind and release the teachers and students of Donglin Academy who were captured to Wusong.
Eunuch Wei was amused and kept looking at Qian Qianyi and Liu Zongzhou. He knew the deeds of these two people the most.
One has a reputation of "the water is too cold", but he is still somewhat conscience as a leader of the Han literary world. Although he lost his later years, he can also make up for it later. If he really wants to make a final decision, it will be a 28-year-old.
The most enviable thing about this man is probably that the old cow chewed Liu Rushi's bush of tender grass.
At present, the leader of Qian is already thirty years old, Liu Xiaocao is probably not born yet.
This really corresponds to the words that make people feel moved: Don’t honk the horn when you pass by kindergarten, so as not to scare your good wife.
My father-in-law, Liu Zongzhou, knew little much about this great Confucian scholar, because by heart, he did not like these so-called Confucian masters, especially the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism advocated by Liu Zongzhou throughout his life, and Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was exactly what my father-in-law hated the most.
In comparison, Liu Zongzhou had a greater influence in the literary world than Gu Yanwu and his disciples Huang Zongxi, and even more popular with scholars than Qian Qianyi. He had a huge influence in the court and in the opposition. However, this great master was a passive anti-Qing school.
Negatively, the Qing army headed south and just crossed the river. The Grandmaster went on a hunger strike without even seeing the shadow of the Tartars.
Perhaps, Master Liu believed that this would not be a traitor, defiling the famous teachings, betraying the ways you usually learn, and achieving your own personality.
But if you want Eunuch Wei to say this, you must scold me!
Do you have the courage to commit suicide, but don’t have the courage to lead teachers, students and disciples to resist?
You should know that you are not an ordinary old master, but a great master of Confucianism!
In this era when Confucianism governs the country and the people are proud of studying, every move of a great Confucian master is very important!
Grand Master Liu was dead and did not become a traitor, but his behavior undoubtedly told the world that resistance was useless!
In view of this, my father-in-law naturally had no good feelings for Liu Zongzhou, and Qian Qianyi had no bad feelings, but he couldn't say he had a good feeling.
Because these two people and Eunuch Wei are not on the same side.
My father-in-law can be sure that Qian Qianyi is a member of the Donglin Party because the last Donglin leader was him. My father-in-law cannot be sure whether Liu Zongzhou is the Donglin Party, but he must be a good friend of Donglin, otherwise he would not be a lobbyist.
"We can't let people go."
