Chapter 211: Justice is in the hearts of the people
There is no need for Yang Youcai to remind him, Cheng Xiaolian also knows that he must not act rashly now, not to mention that it is useless to take this woman, but it is useful, and now there are five hundred angry people who are ready to come up and fight hard at any time, and there are only more than 30 people on his side, and this person is absolutely unacceptable.
Besides, Yuan Chonghuan was slashed by a thousand knives shortly after Mao Wenlong's death, what is the use of taking these people? Cheng Xiaolian suddenly remembered that something was wrong, since Yuan Chonghuan died so early, why did Chongzhen still take Mao Wenlong's family unrelentingly?
So he snorted coldly: "There is a flaw in your words, not long after Mao Wenlong's death, Yuan Chonghuan was also killed by Emperor Chongzhen, and he doesn't need to appease Yuan Chonghuan, why do you want to send someone to Hangzhou to hunt you down?" ”
The woman sighed: "My grandfather took a lot of silver to honor the officials in Beijing during his lifetime, when Yuan Chonghuan killed my grandfather, he suddenly made a move, those officials in the capital always felt that they could not live with our family, although they may not be loyal to the emperor, but they must be loyal to the silver, if they take the silver and do not do anything, it will always cut off the financial route, so after Emperor Chongzhen gave Yuan Chonghuan a discussion, they went to the fold in the hope of rehabilitating my grandfather." ”
Cheng Xiaolian suddenly remembered something: "Lord Chongzhen was originally a master who refused to admit his mistakes. ”
"You're right, Emperor Chongzhen was furious after the excerpt, he said that after killing my grandfather, he also issued countless edicts to reward Yuan Chonghuan, and now if you rehabilitate my grandfather, wouldn't it mean that he did something wrong? So he began to urge Jinyiwei to take action, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots of the Mao family, and prevent our family from sending silver to the officials in the capital and interceding with my grandfather. If it weren't for the conscience of those big officials who sent a letter to Hangzhou in advance, our family would have been wiped out. ”
Cheng Xiaolian has a headache now, in terms of the situation, it is best for him to accept these people, some of these people can be regarded as masters who kill people silently, but if they are accepted, the first thing to do is to overturn the case for Mao Wenlong, and he has to spit a few mouthfuls of saliva on Yuan Chonghuan's name, in that case, it is not what Cheng Xiaolian is willing to do.
Yuan Chonghuan didn't deserve to die, after he died, first the hearts of the people of Liaodong were turned back, and then the hearts of the world's military were scattered, everyone understood his fate, of course, before the war, he had to prepare the back road, no one wanted to fight desperately, and in the end, not only was he slashed, but he also had to be crucified in the annals of history after death.
And rehabilitating Yuan Chonghuan was also something that the Qing Dynasty emperor did a long time later, at least now Kangxi does not dare to rehabilitate him, there are many children of the Eight Banners who have a grudge against him to kill their father, wouldn't rehabilitating him make those people dissatisfied and destroy their foundation.
Therefore, Cheng Xiaolian originally planned to find a good opportunity to rehabilitate Yuan Chonghuan after returning to Daming, but now if he accepts these people, there will be no way to rehabilitate him.
Yang Youcai was a little puzzled why Cheng Xiaolian didn't hurry up and take advantage of this opportunity to accept these people, not to mention anything else, these people are definitely a big help for them now, so he looked at Cheng Xiaolian eagerly, Cheng Xiaolian obviously understood what he meant, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"This hairy girl, we are deeply sorry for what happened to our grandfather, we are not here to arrest you this time, but to avenge the Ming soldiers who died in Myanmar, and now we have encountered some problems, so we want to borrow here for a few days, and please make it convenient for you to see that they are all Ming people."
Miss Mao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Are you going to attack Burma?" ”
"We came this time to take revenge, and now we have conquered half of Burma, but our final goal is not Burma, but to drive the Manchus out of the Guanwai, so we will not stay here for long."
Miss Mao bit her lip: "If we help you, after you return to the country, can you help my grandfather correct his name?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Miss Mao, how can you be sure that we can regain our sight?" You must know that the entire Ming Dynasty was defeated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and ours may not be able to restore the country at all. ”
"We people are not ghosts here, and we will die quietly after many years, but the Mao family will always be traitors of the Ming Dynasty and traitors to the Han people, my uncles have told me many times, saying that even if the banner of the Ming Dynasty is erected on the land of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for one day, it can be regarded as proof that my Mao family has not betrayed the Ming Dynasty, so they have been preparing for this matter, I wonder if I can join you?"
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm very sorry, I can't promise you." ”
Miss Mao raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of sadness: "Why? Could it be that you still suspect that the Mao family will not succeed? ”
Yang Youcai also coughed: "Think twice about the shopkeeper, these people can definitely help us a lot." ”
Cheng Xiaolian coughed: "I have one condition, if you can agree, then everyone will join forces, if you don't agree, they will part ways, and don't mention the matter of joining forces in the future, okay?" ”
"You just say, as long as we can do it, even if everyone is dead, we will do it for you."
The ancients attached great importance to reputation, if Mao Wenlong was really identified as a traitor of the Ming Dynasty, his descendants would not be able to raise their heads and be human beings after a hundred years, and Mao Wenlong's subordinates would also be affected, so they would be eager to correct Mao Wenlong's name.
Cheng Xiaolian slowly opened his mouth: "It's easy to help Mao Dudu correct his name, but I will correct Yuan Chonghuan's name first, and your grandfather can only have a loyal name, not a virtuous name." ”
Miss Mao's face turned pale: "What? Yuan Chonghuan's descendants also found you, didn't they? They're more powerful than us, aren't they? ”
Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "I swear, I have never seen the descendants of Inspector Yuan, after all, our Zhu family can't stand him, not only cut him with a thousand knives, but also convicted him of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, Inspector Yuan is not only the banner of the soldiers of Liaodong, but also a lesson for the soldiers of the world, if he can't give him a correct name, the soldiers of the world will not give their lives to the Ming Dynasty." ”
"He's wronged? Wasn't my grandfather wronged? There are so many officials in Beijing who need to be honored, where did my grandfather get the filial piety silver when he didn't do business? If the imperial court removed my grandfather's official in one day, Dongjiang Town would be wiped out in a blink of an eye, although my grandfather was not a good person, but it was not all for himself. ”
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "After your grandfather died, someone wrote to him to redress his grievances, but after the death of Inspector Yuan, can anyone in the court say a fair word for him?" But after the death of your grandfather, Dongjiang Town was wiped out in an instant, and after the death of Inspector Yuan, the Jiliao defense line blocked the Manchu Iron Cavalry outside the pass for more than ten years. I can't afford to pour dirty water on Inspector Yuan in order to help your grandfather correct his name. ”
