Chapter 718: Another General Soldier

After the burning of the eunuch's mansion and the Jinyi Guard's yamen, the name of the Qiong Navy was known to everyone in Nanjing, and Xia Nan once became a figure who could stop children from crying. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, the people of the Fushe who had a sense of superiority in front of Xia Nan also changed their consistent views on the martial arts, and it turned out that a military general could be strong enough to single-handedly change the power structure of the entire Nanjing, and the eunuch who guarded the town, one of the three giants, was wiped out overnight, not only down, but even the physical body died. Although they didn't know too well that Xia Nan's confidence in being so bold was because of their own strong force and food and salary, it did not affect the Fu Society's new judgment on Xia Nan and Qiong's navy.

On the third day of the assassination, Zhang Pu took the initiative to come to the door and "deigned" to visit Xia Nan in the barracks. In the political environment at that time, with Zhang Pu's fame, this situation was unprecedented.

Zhang Pu was born poor, but he was young and studious, and was known as a prodigy. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, he began to form an association to comment on current affairs, and won fame, at first it was named Yingshe, and later changed to Fushe, with a maximum of more than 3,000 members; In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, he participated in the anti-tax riots in Suzhou, wrote "The Tombstone of Five People", denounced the eunuchs, and moved the world; In the first year of Chongzhen, he "organized the masses" to expel Gu Bingqian, a henchman of the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian and the backbone of the eunuch party, and since then he has become the emperor's superstar among the scholars in the world! Since then, the momentum of the resumption of the society has also shaken the government and the opposition, known as "the gathering of spring and autumn, the road is well-dressed", and "when you come out of the city, everyone knows that there are people who have been restored". Its influence spreads throughout the northern and southern provinces, and everywhere it goes, there are thousands of empty alleys and countless fans.

After becoming famous, he refused to go out step by step to get promoted to the office, but tried to ascend to the sky in one step, and used the wide number of disciples to control Shilin and control the field, and finally achieved the goal of controlling the regime, and was once close to success. It wasn't until Zhou Yanru was ousted by Wen Tiren that this strange phenomenon stopped. Even so, Zhang Pu is a "non-governmental opinion leader" who does not have any actual position, remotely controlling the imperial court in the countryside, ruling the world as an idler, remotely manipulating the court's decision-making at home, deciding on the appointment and dismissal of officials, and treating the great emperor as a plaything in the palm of his hand, which can be regarded as unprecedented.

After the fall of Zhou Yanru, the successor of the first assistant Wen Tiren will naturally not be submissive to the Fushe and Zhang Pu like his predecessor, and he is a thorn in Zhang Pu's side everywhere, Zhang Pu's main purpose is to use the power and financial resources of the Qiong Navy to help Zhou Yanru recover and defeat Wen Tiren.

Xia Nan did not neglect this celebrity, and personally came forward to receive him: "Mr. Tianru is here, and he is shining." ”

After the two sat down politely with each other, Zhang Pu first complimented Xia Nan, "Kill and decide", "eradicate the remnants of the eunuch party, and remove a harm for Jinling", which was very happy.

Xia Nan smiled and said nothing, he felt that Zhang Pu's compliment was ridiculous and a little disgusted.

He and Chang Kun are purely personal grievances, originated from the Suzhou raw silk trade, after the Hongwumen War, the contradiction intensified, and then I collapsed you, you assassinated me again, after the conflict reached its peak, either you die or I live, that's all. He never thought of carrying the great mission of "eradicating the eunuchs", Chang Kun was just a greedy eunuch, and he had nothing to do with the "nine-thousand-year-old" Wei Zhongxian of the previous dynasty, let alone any "remnants of the eunuchs". For this kind of behavior of buttoning hats at every turn, Xia Nan is very disdainful.

However, he also knew that Zhang Pu had gained his reputation by fighting against the "eunuch party", and he had a natural hostility with the eunuchs, so if he thought so, he could also pinch his nose and understand.

After some foreshadowing, Zhang Pu slowly turned his conversation to the attack on Wen Tiren, the head of the current dynasty, "...... Wen Changqing, as the head of the hundred officials, is the same as the party, and he wantonly persecuted Donglin's lineage, and he is inactive in political affairs, and he is not worthy of sitting in the position of the first assistant......"

Xia Nan frowned and asked, "So what does Mr. Tianru think to do?" ”

Zhang Pu cheered up and revealed the purpose of his trip: "If Ping Nanbo is willing to help my benevolent Zhou Yanru recover, he will return to the position of first assistant one day, and he will be rewarded." ”

Xia Nan understood the meaning of this Shilin leader, and wanted to use his help to achieve the purpose of the former first assistant Zhou Yanru's recovery. It seems that the other party still has the pursuit of "remotely controlling the court in the countryside and ruling the world as an idler", and wants to rely on his own movement to control the change of the cabinet and affect the government.

The problem is that he only formed an alliance with Wen Tiren privately through Eunuch Fang Zhenghua, and it is impossible to dismantle the stage. As for whether Wen Tiren is doing nothing and whether he is "persecuting" the Donglin Party, what does it have to do with him? All he needs is the political convenience that the position of first assistant can provide, and it doesn't matter to him who does it. Besides, the Donglin Party is in power, which may not be a good thing for him and Qiong Haijun. Wen Tiren covets power and is easier to control, and these Donglin party members have no outstanding political achievements in history except for party struggle, and the reason why the Ming Dynasty fell is that the never-ending infighting and attrition in the court is also one of the reasons.

Xia Nan knew very well what he wanted, and he also knew what the Donglin Party and the Fushe were, so he directly rejected Zhang Pu's proposal.

"I'm just a general, I don't understand these twists and turns in the court, and I don't dare to meddle in such a thing as the change of the first assistant, and I ask Mr. Tianru to find another master."

Zhang Pu didn't expect that Ping Nanbo, who dared to pull down the Nanjing town guard eunuch with one hand, actually claimed to be timid and afraid, and was stunned for a while. Immediately reacted, this is a euphemistic refusal. He was a high-minded and arrogant man, and he didn't want to say any more, so he got up and said goodbye.

Walking outside the door, Zhang Pu glanced back, snorted coldly, and thought: If you don't grasp the opportunity, you don't know how to lift, you will definitely look good in the future.

With the passage of time, the fall of the eunuchs slowly faded out of people's field of vision, and the Qiong Navy continued to organize the relocation of the displaced people step by step, and it also reached the end stage, leaving Nanjing and entering the countdown.

In August of the eighth year of Chongzhen's reign, with the astonishing speed of the "Yangming" clipping ship, the officials of the household department and the military department who were in charge of the negotiation of the "donation" returned to the capital and received definite instructions, and returned to Nanjing half a month later.

The leader was still Cheng Li, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, and he brought bargaining chips: the imperial court agreed to the two conditions put forward by Xia Nan, not to transfer the Qiong Navy to suppress the Liukou within one year, and appointed Lin Weiye as the chief soldier of Dengzhou. The Joan Navy took the rank of second commander-in-chief.
