However, spoils always follow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The fresh fish soup has just been cooked, and the fragrant taste makes Ao Lei Yilan keep sniffing, fanning her beautiful nose, ready to eat it for a while.

Li Zhenli looked at this golden and jade-like sister with affection, and reminded her very kindly: "I saw a few anchovies, these fish should be steamed with scales, after steaming, the oil under its scales is the most delicious." However, the delicious taste of anchovy is a good thing, but its spines are as small as hair, so you should be careful when eating them. ”

Ao Lei Yilan remembered the hint of the Li family's sister, took the dishes and chopsticks handed over by the mother-in-law next to her, carefully uncovered the fish scales under Li Zhenli's guidance, and sucked the delicious and abnormal fish oil under the scales. Seeing that Li Zhenli and Ao Lei Yilan, two red lips with different styles, didn't speak there, just smacked their voices, Li Shouhan couldn't help but think of the beautiful scene when these two people smacked another object.

Just when Li Shouhan was wandering outside the world, a personal soldier came to report: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Ma Shiyingma, the governor of Fengyang, passed by Pukou, and heard that the lord is here, so he came to see him." ”

Hey! He couldn't see me in Nanjing, and when he heard that I was in Pukou, he chased me all the way here? Li Shouhan couldn't help but scold. In comparison, Shi Kefa is far worse than Ma Shiying in this regard. The place where he is stationed is in Pukou, and he has a favorable location, but Li Shouhan is here, but he does not show his face. has a kind of style that does not cling to the powerful. Ma Shiying, on the other hand, is a stalker in order to accomplish the set goal in his heart.

Regarding Ma Shiying, Li Shouhan has also had some dealings in recent years, and found that this person is not like the so-called traitor described in the historical materials and dramas compiled by the disciples and grandsons of Donglin in later generations. He may be a powerful minister with a strong desire for power, but a traitor is not necessarily. Moreover, in terms of governance ability, it is not necessarily worse than those famous ministers in history. It's a pity that there is no space and time to show it.

"Since Ma Gong is here, there is no such thing as a courtesy. Please come and see you. ”

Ma Shiying came to visit, Li Zhenli and Ao Lei Yilan naturally couldn't meet him, although this grandfather has always been out of luck, but the friendship between him and Ma Shiying has not yet reached the point of mutual friendship. Ao Lei Yilan is his wife and concubine, and Li Zhenli is his outer room, although this is something that everyone in Nanjing knows, but Ma Shiying also has to pretend to be confused.

So, Li Shouhan changed his robe and met Ma Shiying in the temporary military tent.

"Yaocao came just in time, there are fish and crabs caught by the children from the river, you might as well taste them."

Along with Ma Shiying, there was also a lieutenant general surnamed Ma. This person is not his general's relative, but the son of Qin Liangyufu's family in Sichuan. It was the one who was with Li Shouhan at the beginning to find Qian Qianyi, Hou Fangyu and others on the Qinhuai River.

When Vice General Ma saw Li Shouhan, he didn't say a word, and immediately knelt down and slammed his head three times.

"My aunt instructed the last general to set off with a certain amount of gratitude!"

Relying on the support of food and equipment provided by the Nanyue Army for the white pole soldiers, Qin Liangyu was able to regroup in the areas of Zhongzhou and Shizhu, recruit and train soldiers, and recover his vitality. After a few years, the white pole soldiers have the atmosphere of the heyday again. Zhang Xianzhong, who was also in Sichuan, exchanged hands several times, and in the face of Zhang Kewang, Zhang Wenxiu, **** Li and others, he did not fall behind, and the two families fought equally.

"Fang is the gratitude of the Shizhu generals to the marshal, this is the gratitude of my brothers and sisters of the Ma family and the Qin family to the marshal!" Three more knocks.

"Xia Guan happened to meet General Ma when he went out of the city at Shuixi Gate, and when he learned that he had come to meet the marshal, he also had the heart to come to disturb him. Xia Guan also thanked the marshal on behalf of his hometown fathers! ”

Although Ma Shiying did not bang his head like General Ma Fengxima, he also bowed down and put his identity very low.

"Alas! Yaocao, where do you start? My father-in-law had ever been a little kind to the elders of Kexiang, and Yaocao's words made my father-in-law feel a little ashamed. ”

Ma Shiying also has her own set of reasons.

Ma Shiying is a native of Guizhou. Guizhou, however, is a poor province that has always been known for its harsh natural conditions, barren land, and mountainous and miasma. The so-called "there are no three sunny days, no three feet flat on the ground, and no three cents of silver for people." If it weren't for this harsh natural environment, Wang Yangming, who was regarded as a guideline by the principal, would not have realized the road of "heart learning" in Longchang.

Because of its proximity to Guangxi, during the period when Li Huabao and Huang Xigon presided over Guangxi's military and political affairs, a large number of grain, oil, salt, cloth, and iron farm tools were transported to Baise through dredged Youjiang ships, and then transported to Xingyi Mansion in Guizhou.

"The fathers and elders in Guizhou have been eating lightly for many years, although there is Sichuan salt into Guizhou, but the price is expensive, and it is not edible for the poor people. Today, Mengguo Gong is loved and helps Guizhou with a large amount of salt. Yaocao learned from the old letters in her hometown and felt the same way. ”

In fact, Li Huabao and Huang Xigon's radiation impact on the surrounding provinces of Guizhou and Biyuan is far more than the export of salt and cloth, and crops such as peppers, potatoes, and corn have also begun to be planted in small areas in Guizhou and other places. In addition to the export of crop seeds and various products, it is the import of labor from the surrounding provinces. Dredging rivers and building roads and bridges all require a lot of labor. And the Nanyue Army did not rely on the requisition of people to carry out this kind of infrastructure construction, but had money for food, food, and wages. This creates a magnet effect on the surrounding area.

As a result, the southwest region of Guizhou has a vague atmosphere of getting rid of poverty and becoming well-off.

This is a whole set of reasons for Ma Shiying to express his gratitude to Li Shouhan, although it is a bit far-fetched, but Li Shouhan cannot shirk it. You can't say that Li Huabao is not your second son, Guangxi is not your jurisdiction, and those salt, grain, cloth, and iron tools that are shipped to Guizhou for sale are not produced under your rule, right? Although Ma Shiying also knew that these items would inevitably bring a lot of income to the grandfather in front of him, the salt from Guangxi was much cheaper than the salt that was transported from Sichuan to Guizhou.

At that moment, Li Shouhan exchanged a few polite words with the two adults, ordered someone to sit down for the two adults, and brought a few small ones: "The talented men are training by the river, and they have played some fish and shrimp here, don't dislike them, taste them together." ”

Ma Shiying is okay, but Ma Fengxi has some words that he wants to vomit and be unhappy.

"Sir, when we were on the ship, we heard the sound of cannons here, and I thought it was your artillery team training. But when the last general landed on the shore, he didn't see the cannons in line, which is strange! ”

Faced with Ma Fengxi's problem, Li Shouhan was not surprised, after all, although the grenade had already taken shape, it was really used on a large scale in actual combat here in the Nanyue Army. When he ordered someone to take two pieces, he explained the usefulness and wonder of this thing to Ma Fengxi.

After the explanation, he ordered someone to take Ma Fengxi to the river and try to throw it, so as to feel the power of this little iron bump.

"Sir! Can this item be sold with my white pole soldiers? ”

Ma Fengxi is also a knowledgeable person, and when he returned to the account, the first thing he said when he saw Li Shouhan was to ask for a purchase! This kind of thing is in the eastern Sichuan region where the white pole soldiers are located, and it is a sharp weapon used for mountain warfare! The mountain roads are rugged and rainy, making it difficult to transport artillery on such roads. If there are grenades that can be used to make up for the lack of firearms in the white-pole soldiers, then it cannot be said that Chongqing and Chengdu have been recovered, at least the soldiers and horses of Daxi cannot enter the area of Zhongzhou and Shizhu.

At this time, if you don't send a favor out, let the white pole soldiers fight with Zhang Xianzhong's father and son in Sichuan, do you wait for the Great Western Army to gain a firm foothold in Sichuan, and then let the Nanyue Army go up against the current to compete with the Zhang family father and son for Sichuan, so that Sichuan will experience decades of war?

Li Shouhan generously sent 4,000 grenades to the white pole soldiers, as for how much Ma Fengxi planned to buy, he himself went to negotiate with the relevant people, it didn't matter if the silver was not enough, as long as the white pole soldiers continued to use tung oil and other things to offset the price.

Seeing Ma Fengxi leave with a thousand thanks, Ma Shiying was also secretly happy in her heart. It may not be necessary to say that he has any relationship with the white-pole soldiers and horses family and the Qin family. However, the two provinces of Sichuan and Guizhou are adjacent to each other. If the white pole soldiers can contain Zhang Xianzhong's main force in the area of Chongqing in eastern Sichuan, it will inevitably reduce the pressure on Guizhou a lot.

"With this weapon in hand, the thief is bound to be powerless to cause trouble to the southwest. The marshal is loyal to the country, and everything he thinks of is the country and the country, and he is really a model for my Ming courtiers! ”

Half out of sincerity, half flattering high hat, Ma Shiying reorganized his clothes and saluted Li Shouhan.

"Yaocao, you and I are ministers in the same hall, and the grade is the same. How to do this gift at every turn? ”

"What the lower official said is the lower official's heartfelt words."

The so-called thousands of wears, and sycophants do not wear. Ma Shiying's sincerity, coupled with the fact that he really said something, made Li Shouhan quite comfortable in his heart.

With this crossing here, the two of them talked a lot more speculatively.

Li Zhenli is used to seeing such a scene, but Ao Lei Yilan rarely sees it. She blinked her big eyes and peeked curiously at the husband in front of her. How did this senior official make Xiang Gong so happy in a few words?

"Sister, what did he say to Xianggong to coax Xianggong like this?" In the spirit of learning without shame in asking questions, Ao Lei Yilan, who has always been very self-aware in this regard, asked Li Zhenli, an old driver, for advice.

"Him! came to Xianggong for help. Naturally, it is better to coax each other to be open-minded. Li Zhenli broke the sky with one word. Regarding the battle between the Lixian faction and the Liqin faction in Nanjing, Li Zhenli can be said to be insightful.

Now in order to support King Lu, the Donglin faction has long been thrown away from the galaxy by the etiquette, righteousness and shame that they never leave on weekdays, and they don't talk about Jiajing's "Great Discussion Ceremony" and Wanli's "Fight for the Country", when their set of ethics and outlines that are enshrined as the "Law of the World", they have begun to talk about "Lixian". This kind of double standard and pragmatism is still used by countless disciples and grandchildren as a family heirloom hundreds of years later.

Ma Shiying's Liqin faction, compared to the strength of the pen and the mouth cannon, is indeed dwarfed, but the victory is in the gun. Ma Shiying himself is the governor of Fengyang, and he also has a lot of soldiers and horses under his command. Moreover, in terms of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses under his command, he is much stronger than Shi Kefa, a subordinate of the secretary and supervisor of the military department. In addition, Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Caoyun, and several general soldiers in Jiangbei were also inclined to support King Lifu to become the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, whether he can get the support of Li Shouhan, who controls the defense of Nanjing City and the surrounding area, is the key to his success. With Li Shouhan's approval, not only tens of thousands of Nanyue troops are a big reinforcement, but the nobles in the entire Nanjing city will also completely fall to the camp of supporting King Fu.

Ma Shiying was so talkative in front of Li Shouhan that he only analyzed for him the legitimacy of supporting King Fu as the emperor and the various legitimacy of etiquette and ethics to dispel Li Shouhan's inner worries. At the same time, he also tried to understand Li Shouhan's bottom line inside and outside the words, and saw what kind of benefits could impress the prince in front of him. If he doesn't take the lead in expressing his position, then Liu Liangzuo, Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing and others in the four towns of Jiangbei can only continue to play the role of the grass on the wall.

"Sir, the righteousness is uncertain for a day, and the country and society are ownerless for a day. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, I could only watch the thieves wreak havoc in Jiangbei, but I was helpless. Liudu only hopes that the marshal will stand up as soon as possible, raise his arms, and lead the hundred officials to elect a Ming lord for my Ming Dynasty to restore the mountains and rivers. At that time, the marshal will have great merit with the world, and the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the world will inevitably 。。。。。 ”

"Master Ma," Li Shouhan waved his hand, signaling that Ma Shiying could rest first. He had something to say. "Will the people of the world thank Benjue, Benjue doesn't care. Over the years, Benjue has been used to being scolded. In this place in the south of the Yangtze River, are there still fewer songs and children's songs and operas compiled by those who insult Benjue? I didn't see Benjue scolding him for losing a hair. As long as Benjue asks himself to be worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of his heart, it doesn't matter. It's just that the matter of support is significant. Not only must those who support it be like-minded, but the chosen Son of Heaven must also meet the conditions of the Son of Heaven in Benjue's mind. ”

Just when Ma Shiying's tongue was full of lotus flowers just now, Li Shouhan was also spinning rapidly in his mind, weighing the pros and cons of supporting King Fu.

If he supported King Lu, not to mention the ability of this prince with a very strong artistic atmosphere, the fact that he was valued by Donglin alone would have sentenced him to death in Li Shouhan's heart. What's more, there are still some festivals between him and the Nanyue Army, if he ascends the throne and goes against the Nanyue Army under the instigation of the gentlemen of Donglin, it will be disgusting.

However, supporting the blessed king is naturally a different scene.

Not to mention that since the Battle of Luoyang, Zhu Yousong, the blessed king who has perched like a lost dog, has been given charcoal in the snow that is prevalent in Long, so as to maintain the dignity of a prince. The "seven musts" summed up by Donglin for him alone are very appetizing to Li Shouhan.

In addition to the crimes of unfilial piety, abuse, and alcoholism, the remaining four, "interfering with the company, not studying, greedy, and lewdness" made Li Shouhan feel that this was referring to Sang and scolding Huai.

You must know that since Li Shouhan went north to King Qin for the first time, the conflict between the Southern Guangdong Army and the mainland officialdom has been continuous, which is also one of the key points of the gentry's attack on him. As for not knowing how to respect readers if you don't read, it is a dead end for Li Shouhan. Even Zuo Liangyu, who slaughtered cities and plundered states and counties at every turn, knew that he had great respect for scholars in exchange for a good reputation for himself. But this Li Guogong didn't take the reader in his eyes at all.

Greed for money is the first of Li Shouhan's notoriety. Since the implementation of the customs and the proposed implementation of the system of paying grain for the official gentry in various places, when Li Shouhan's name is mentioned in private, he will be preceded by the nickname of Qian String to show his contempt for this greedy and unbridled fellow.

Li Shouhan was already thinking about supporting King Fu to ascend the throne, and said to him, "If you don't want to live a poor life until death like your cousins, listen to me, and implement a unified errand payment system within the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, and levy commercial taxes, customs, and customs duties." ”

As long as Zhu Yousong can accept Li Shouhan's policies and measures, Li Shouhan can pat his chest and assure him that what Dolgon, what Li Zicheng, and what Zhang Xianzhong are all a pile of scum in the face of absolute strength.

At that time, you, the emperor, will only drink your wine in the palace, listen to your plays, and study all kinds of beauties. What is the Northland Rouge Southern Eyebrows, this is not a problem. Why don't you have a few Silla maids, Orchids, Celestial Dancers, or even the more distant Princess of Europa? You must know that in terms of the beauties of the harem, Li Shouhan was also secretly drooling by the gentlemen of Donglin, while righteously accusing him of not cultivating his personal virtues.

"It's nature. The lower officials have always followed in the footsteps of the marshal. Ma Shiying saw that Li Shouhan's style of speech was different, and he was immediately overjoyed. immediately expressed his support for Li Shouhan. "In the future, His Royal Highness King Fu will ascend the throne, and this military and political event will inevitably rely on the marshal. In this great tomorrow, no one knows that the people under the rule of the marshal are happy, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the money and food are abundant. ”

Ma Shiying is also a person who nods knowingly, and sniffed out the price offered by this grandfather from Li Shouhan's words, that is, power! If you want him to support King Fu to ascend the throne, you must give him enough power. This is also a fair and reasonable, non-deceptive deal. If it weren't for the sake of power and wealth, Ma Shiying would not have tossed so much, jumping up and down to support King Fu to ascend the throne.

In all fairness, he also thinks that if Li Shouhan's system can be implemented in Jiangnan, not to mention copying all the Nanzhong system, it will be half of it, and it will be enough to make this half of the Ming Dynasty have enough food and food, so that there will be no place for thieves to exist between Jianghuai.

It is said that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the two thieves, quietly implemented the money and grain tax system in Nanzhong on their respective territories. Could it be that my Ming court is not as good as two thieves? Master Ma was indignant.

However, he forgot that Sun Chuanting was killed by the clan officials and gentry because of the implementation of the one-man errand payment system in Shaanxi. (To be continued.) )
