Chapter 312 Jiangnan Shifeng
In the next few days, Jia Jichun led the imperial historians of the Inspectorate, with the cooperation of a large number of people from Jinyi Weinan Town, to count and seize the mansions and properties of Qian Qianyi and Zhao Zhilong, Zhang Gongri, Tang Guozuo, and Jiao Mengxiong.

A few days later, in accordance with the will of the previous imperial court, the Jinyi guard under the command of Luo Yangxing, the envoy of Nanzhen Fusi, escorted more than a dozen members of Hui Shiyang's family, as well as Qian Qianyi, who lived in Suzhou, and more than 1,000 members of his father's family, mother's family, and wife's family, and took the fleet of the Yangtze River Navy Division to Fuzhou by sea.
After arriving in Fuzhou, the Yangtze River naval division under the command of Guo Zhenming, Marquis of Boping, will return the same way, and these escorts to the sea will be transferred to Zheng Zhilong's fleet, which basically controls the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, and will be transferred to Dongfan and Qiongzhou respectively.
On the day he left Nanzhen Fusi Prison, Qian Qianyi, who was not yet fifty years old, had most of his hair gray within a few days, as if he was more than ten years old.
Qian Qianyi and his three clans have more than 1,000 people, although all their property, land and shops in Nanzhi and Susong have been confiscated, but he does not need to worry about the next life in the east.
Because after all, he was the leader of Shilin who was famous in the south of the Yangtze River, just when the news spread, and he was about to leave, there were still many disciples from Nanjing and Susong who came to the riverside wharf to see him off, and there were hundreds of people.
And among his disciples, although none of them chose to follow him to the place of exile, each disciple who came to see him off sent him a lot of entanglements.
Qian Qianyi is not a hypocrite who purely deceives the world and steals his reputation, after all, he is a Jinshi and a first, and he was born in Hanlin, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is full of wealth.
Therefore, he also understands the truth that the tree is falling and scattering, he knows very well what these protégé disciples want from him before, and what he wants from these protégé disciples, where does he not understand himself?
At the end of the day, it's just fame and fortune.
Therefore, for the disciples and protégés who came to see him off with parting gifts, he did not have the slightest intention of seeking perfection and reproach, but only the so-called gentlemanly demeanor that he showed himself in the face of danger and not chaotic.
He knows very well that for a person like him, reputation is more important than anything else, and as long as his reputation remains, he will have a comeback one day.
Therefore, even though he was terrified and his fate was uncertain, when he was about to board the ship and leave, he still behaved lightly, and he had the demeanor of a powerful and unyielding Confucian master who could not be moved from poverty to the ground, which made the disciples who stayed on the shore heartbroken for a while.
Regarding the situation on the dock of Yingtianfu, Wang Zhixin, Luo Yangxing and others did not interfere except for truthfully reporting to the emperor, but let it go.
For them, it is only right for them to send this hot potato away and throw it to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang to clean up.
Qian Qianyi, with a very complicated and indescribable mood, under the supervision of the personnel of Jinyi Weinan Town, boarded the Yangtze River Naval Division under the command of Guo Zhenming, Marquis of Boping, and went all the way to the east along the river.
Of course, after Qian Qianyi arrived in Dongfan, he quickly got Zheng Zhilong's courtesy, and soon after, Zheng Zhilong also let his son Zheng Sen worship under Qian Qianyi's door and perform the gift of a disciple.
This is not something that these people who are in Nandu can predict now.
With the departure of Qian Qianyi, these people who came to Nanjing from Beijing to serve or handle cases can be regarded as truly relieved.
Whether it is Wang Zhixin, Luo Yangxing, or Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, these people are either eunuchs, Jinyiwei, or Xungui, to put it bluntly, they are not traditionally the same kind of people as civil officials, and they can't understand the worries in the hearts of civil officials such as Zhou Yanru and Jia Jichun.
Because only these people, who are also from Jinshi and civil officials of the imperial court, can truly realize the power of Jiangnan scholars, and will really be afraid of those leaders in Jiangnan Shilin.
But this time, Qian Qianyi's performance made them feel reassured, and at the same time, they also had a sincere contempt for him in their hearts.
If the leader of Donglin in Jiangnan at this time was not a soft bone like Qian Qianyi, but a figure like Gu Xiancheng, Gao Panlong, Yang Lian, and Zuo Guangdou, then Jiangnan Shilin at this time would never be so calm.
But in that case, there may be another bloody storm.
Of course, the reason why Zhou Yanru and Jia Jichun think so is because they don't have the experience of the current Chongzhen Emperor from later generations.
After the fierce party struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party during the Apocalypse, the hard-boned characters have long since grown grass, and most of the ones left behind are soft bones.
And after the apocalypse, Jiangnan's morale has reached a very serious point.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a poem in Jiangnan that vividly recorded the social scene at that time: "When I went to the city yesterday, I returned with tears. Those who are dressed in women's clothes are all readers! ”
The author of this poem is called Li Dong, a scholar in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and was also a disciple of the Donglin Party, he wrote in a book called "Miscellaneous Records of Observations and Experiences": "In the past 20 years, in the southeast county, all the people who are born and read are powerful, all of them are women in red and purple clothes, and they are clothed in underwear, and they are ...... regardless of it."
This is the description and record of the Jiangnan scholars themselves at that time, which shows what kind of scene the Shilin in Jiangnan was like at that time.
Under such a scholarly atmosphere, in the face of the wolf-like Manchu army, the desperate resistance that occurred in Yangzhou and Jiangyin became more and more precious.
Nanjing is more than 2,000 miles away from Beijing, and if you use the post station system that is now unimpeded between the two capitals, and use the 600-mile expedited way to deliver the letters, you can completely achieve a round trip within ten days.
When the officials on the Nanjing side had just cautiously sent away Donglin bigwigs like Qian Qianyi and Hui Shiyang, they soon received several more orders from Emperor Chongzhen from Beijing.
First, the edict ordered Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, to continue to be the governor of the military affairs of the Nanjing Jingying, and at the same time, Xie Xuelong, the right capital of the Nanjing Inspectorate, concurrently served as the imperial history of the Nanjing Jingying Supervisor.
Second, the edict ordered Huaiyuan Marquis Chang Yanling, Boping Marquis Guo Zhenming, Chengyi Bo Liu Kongzhao and Nanning Bo Mao Menglong to replace Zhao Zhilong and others, and take charge of the Nanjing Five Army Governor's Mansion before and after.
Third, the edict ordered Zhang Gongri, Marquis of Boping, Tang Guozuo, Marquis of Lingbi, Zhao Zhilong, Bo Zhao of Xincheng, and Bo Jiao Mengxiong of Dongning to commit suicide in prison.
The Marquis of Longping's Mansion, the Marquis of Lingbi's Mansion, as well as the Xincheng Bofu and the Dongning Bofu, the four noble families all seized the title and confiscated all the family property and land businesses as military funds, and all the family members and servants were exiled to Yingzhou as the common people.
Fourth, Qian Xiangkun, the former secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the household department and the head of the ministry, returned to their hometowns.
Zhang Yandeng was demoted to Shanxi Patrol, and Qian Shisheng was demoted to Yansui Patrol, and he was immediately appointed on the day of his arrival.
Although Zhang Yandeng advocated the ban on the sea and opposed the opening of the sea to trade, when he was the governor of Zhejiang, he once commanded the Zhejiang Navy to fight against the pirates Li Zhiqi, Chen Chengyu, Baimao Lao and others in Fujian and Zhejiang, and achieved good results in the sea around Dachen Mountain and Putuo Mountain.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, but he still did not push him to the end and let him return to his hometown, but used him in the position of Shanxi to patrol the imperial history.
The inspector is a seven-rank official, although the official position is not high, but the power is not small, belongs to the provincial inspection envoy, another has the right to manage criminal, civil, public security, arrest and theft and other local judicial affairs of the province.
The purpose of the small officials and the great power is to let the inspectors represent the imperial court and restrain the power of the provincial envoys, so as to prevent these envoys from covering the sky with one hand and leading to the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.
The former Shanxi Inspector Luo Shijin was dismissed, and Zhang Yandeng was just allowed to replace him in the past, giving full play to his residual heat of suppressing bandits and arresting thieves.
As for Qian Shisheng's replacement, it is Yan Sui who will be patrolled according to Li Yingji.
Meritorious service must be rewarded, is now the Chongzhen Emperor has always adhered to the practice, Yan Sui patrol according to Li Yingzhi as the highest official in the previous defense of the city in Suidezhou, northern Shaanxi, since the city is defended, it must be rewarded.
It just so happened that now the thieves have entered Shanxi, and Pei Junxi, who participated in Shanxi's politics, was removed from his official position and went home to study, so Emperor Chongzhen did not hesitate much, and promoted Li Yingzhi to Shanxi to participate in politics.
Therefore, Qian Shisheng, the former waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites and one of the "four coins" of Jiangnan Shilin, was naturally placed in the position of Yansui patrol that was vacated by Li Yingqi.
Speaking of which, apart from this arrangement, Emperor Chongzhen has no other better way.
Qian Xiangkun and Zheng Sanjun are both very old, even if Zhishi goes home and continues to lecture and accept apprentices, it won't be many years.
In addition, Qian Xiangkun is a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and Zheng Sanjun is a native of Chizhou Prefecture (now Chizhou, Anhui), and his hometown is not in the base camp of the Donglin Party in Susong and Songfu, so even if he wants to do things after returning to his hometown, he can't make any big waves.
Qian Shisheng is different, his hometown is Jiashan County, Jiaxing Prefecture, Zhejiang, which is very close to Susong and Susong, especially not far from Donglin Academy, the base camp of the Donglin Party, located in Wuxi.
Besides, his crimes are not big, and you can't kill him because of it.
In this case, if you send away Qian Qianyi, one of the "four coins", and then get a Qian Shisheng, one of the "four coins", then wouldn't the Donglin disciples of the two mansions of Susong have a natural backbone?
Therefore, after thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen still pinched his nose and used him in the position of Yansui patrol.
If he is lucky enough, then he can survive, if he is not lucky, then it is not easy to save his life in that place.
Even if Qian Shisheng has no worries about his life after a few years, he must have a direct and true understanding of the internal and external worries of the late Ming Dynasty, and will not be like in the past, ignoring the things outside the window, only reading the books of sages and sages, and only knowing how to sit and talk about the Tao and advocate the Qing Dynasty to save the country.
