Da Luo Luo Xiao Lori asks for tickets again, monthly passes, recommended tickets, give a few rewards, uh, little Lori cried, Da Luo Luo went also

Just when Zhu Jishi inspected the renovation project of Yingtianwang Palace and Xiaoling. On the edge of the West Lake in Hangzhou, there is a magnificent mansion, and these days, there are also people coming and going. On the face of the mansion, there is a small sign of Panfu, and there are a few small hats in green clothes at the door, and the young man dressed as a servant sees someone coming, so he comes forward to greet him with a smile on his face, and says a few words that outsiders don't understand very well, and the people who come use strange gestures to clasp their fists and salute, and then make a few cuts, and they are welcomed in.

A middle-aged man wearing a top hat and a suit walked over under the escort of several young men in short shirts, and one of them stepped forward and made a code incision, and then led the middle-aged man into the mansion that was strange inside and out. When I entered the door of the second hall, I saw a plaque of "Walking for Heaven" hanging high above the door of a hall. An old man holding a folding fan, wearing a robe, with a straight and wide mouth, and a bare head who seems to be a high monk, has already greeted him: "It's Mr. Hu, but I'm looking forward to you!" You know, we are waiting here! What do you think? Smooth on the road? ”

The middle-aged man took off his top hat and his long hair hung down. In Jiangnan at the moment, men either shave a clean and fresh bald head, or comb their hair in a bun, or have short Western-style hair. It's rare to see a middle-aged man with long hair like this.

The long-haired man arched his hand towards the old man, and his mouth was in the difficult Guangxi official dialect: "Brother Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Protector Hu Yihuang, may I ask the old gentleman is Mr. Pan, the leader of the Cao Gang?" ”

This was originally where the famous Cao Gang Hall was located! and the visitor. It turned out to be Hu Yihuang, the fierce general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!

The old man smiled and clenched his fists: "The old man is Pan Yuanxiang." ”

Hu Yihuang also smiled: "Mr. Pan is really hard to find here." How. Zhu Tianzi is going to deal with your Qing Gang? ”

The Cao Gang is also known as the Anqing Gang or the Qing Gang and the Qing Gang, which naturally means Anqing Fuqing, and the Manchu court is their biggest patron, so of course they have to give the Manchu court a little face.

The old man named Pan Yuanxiang smiled bitterly: "The son of heaven of the Zhu family is the co-leader of the Red Gang, and the Qinghong Gang has a long-standing grudge, so I have to guard against it." ”

The Red Gang is another name for Hongmen. Unlike Hongmen, the Cao Gang was openly active in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the gang that legally existed - the people had the Qianlong Emperor's Imperial Protector Panlong Stick. and helped the Qing Dynasty to transport grain, of course, he could move confidently. Therefore, the Cao Bang General Hall was originally opened in the downtown of Hangzhou, and it was also publicly listed. However, because their political stance is to support the Qing Dynasty, they are naturally regarded as traitors by the Hongmen, and the Hongmen Gate rules "turn from green to Hong, and wear red and hang colors; From Hong to Qing, peeling and cramping".

And Zhu Jishi relied on the Hongmen disciples to start a rebellion, and he also had the name of the Hongmen Daming Mountain Lord, who was regarded as the co-master by the Hongmen disciples in the world. Now he has entered Yingtian and has become the king of the Southern Dynasty. Naturally, it caused the horror of the Green Gang. It is not difficult to understand that the main hall of the Youth Gang went underground.

Hu Yihuang listened to the old man's words. It's just a yes sound: "Didn't they Hongmen say that the red flowers, green leaves and white lotus roots, the three sects were originally one family?" Now the high-ranking officials of the Hong family brothers don't know how many, why did they forget the green leaves and white lotus roots? ”

The old man looked at Hu Yihuang, shook his head with a wry smile, and made a gesture of surprise: "Master Hou, are you talking inside?" ”

Hu Yihuang just smiled and nodded, followed the old man into the hall, and sat down. He was ordered by Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, to come south from Beijing to meet this leader of the Green Gang. This Qing Gang is developing along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, claiming to have one hundred and twenty-eight and a half gangs, and there are many of their halls on both sides of the canal, with countless disciples. Hu Yihuang came all the way south under their cover, without danger or danger, and he turned a blind eye to them at all checkpoints.

"Mr. Pan, this is a letter from His Royal Highness the East King of our family to your old man." As soon as he sat down, Hu Yihuang took out an envelope and handed it to one of Pan Yuanxiang's apprentices.

Pan Yuanxiang unfolded the letter and looked at it, he frowned slightly, it was full of dog crawling characters and vernacular, it seems that Yang Xiuqing, the eastern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, had not gone to school for a few years (in fact, the letter was written by an official of the East Temple for Yang Xiuqing, and Yang Xiuqing was illiterate at all). As for the content of the letter, of course, it is a wish. This set is not Zhu Jishi's patent, Yang Xiuqing will use it as well. When he came up, he promised Pan Yuanxiang a Pingnan Marquis and Pingnan General, and gave the number of the 10 armies of the Green Gang.

After reading the letter, Pan Yuanxiang smiled bitterly: "The old man has already been half cut into the ground, what Pingnan Hou and Pingnan are the main generals, they are nothing to the old man, but hundreds of thousands of gangs are used to eating habits, and there is a precedent of the Red Gang, so their hearts are big......"

Hearing this, Hu Yihuang laughed and said: "The princes and princes will have no seeds, and in today's troubled times, it is the time for the heroes of the world to rise up." Their Red Gang disciples don't have horns on their heads, they can be crowned marquis and worship generals, but you Qing Gang brothers can't? ”

He smiled and said: "Mr. Pan, Zhu Jishi is only half of the country now, a partial situation, since ancient times, it is only Zhu Hongwu who has the world from south to north, and it is the general trend from north to south." This world must be our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! ”

Pan Yuanxiang was so upset by what he said, he fidgeted in the chair and wanted to say something, but he still stopped his voice after the last moment, the precedent of the Red Gang was too tempting. In the past, they were all people in the rivers and lakes on an equal footing, but now everyone is a high-ranking official, but the disciples of the Green Gang have no food and clothing, and they have a rotten life left. If the world is peaceful, there is no way, but now it is obviously a troubled time, how can you not fight? If he doesn't fight, the throne of this leader will probably not be able to be kept immediately, right?

At the same time, in a mansion in Yingtianfu City, Zuo Zongtang, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, was also meeting guests, and it was Yangzhou salt merchants Huang Xiqing and Cao Tong who visited.

"Don't worry about Zhongtang, the matter of monitoring the Cao Gang is on our Yangzhou salt merchants, these two gangs of salt and Cao have always had me and me, and I have you, and our salt merchants and the salt gang also have dealings."

It was Huang Xiqing who spoke, and he was introduced to Zuo Zongtang by Cao Tong. And what Zuo Zongtang is worried about now is no longer the salt gang and the stove households, and the ticket salt law is beneficial to them. As for the tens of thousands of salt dings, it is not impossible to solve them, after all, the number of people is limited, and it is a big deal that the imperial court will organize one more army, and everything will be solved. But the Cao Gang, which helps hundreds of thousands, is a big trouble, and the old grudge of the Qinghong Gang is not in Zuo Zongtang's eyes, but the Cao Gang is cut off, and hundreds of thousands of people are out of food. If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or the Manchus in the north put their hands in again, things would be complicated.

Zuo Zongtang stroked his beard and nodded: "This is very good, if the two of you can really worry about the king, why can't you reuse it?" Now that the Ming Dynasty is revived, the world is divided into three parts, and it is the time for heroes to establish meritorious deeds, and the small profits from selling salt are not enough to worry about at all. Both of them are scholars, and the Jiangnan imperial examination will start soon, so let's go and participate in both of them. ”

The ticket salt law must be implemented, and Zhu Jishi will no longer allow these salt merchants to share the salt tax of the Ming court. Therefore, the fall of the Cao family and the Huang family is inevitable. But Zuo Zongtang is the prime minister of the dynasty after all, and it is not difficult to give Cao Huang and the others a little benefit.

"The king is still worried that there are salt merchants colluding with Miao Yusan......" Zuo Zongtang said this, and looked at the two of them gloomily, "You won't have an affair with Miao Yusan, right?" ”

Cao Tong and Huang Xiqing looked at each other, and shook their heads at the same time, Cao Dao: "Zhongtang, there is no intersection between Wansheng and Miao Futai, only that Li Wen'an and Miao Futai have close contacts. ”

Miao Peilin now controls the Huaibei salt industry, so naturally he has to find a way to sell the salt for money, and it is normal to interact with salt merchants.

"Then find a way to intersect." Zuo Zongtang stroked his beard and smiled, "This is also what the king meant." ”

"Late life understands." Cao Tong and Huang Xiqing replied in unison.

Miao Peilin is now the overlord of one side, and he is guarding Zhu Ming's gate, can Zhu Jishiyan not guard against it?

Zuo Zongtang nodded with satisfaction, but his mind returned to the Cao Gang. The Cao Gang is different from Hongmen, and it has always been the leader of the gang. Although the Cao Gang leader does not have a strong control over the one hundred and twenty-eight and a half gangs below, he is the leader after all, and Da Ming should think of ways to win it over. As for the hundreds of thousands of people below, we must also find some livelihood for them, otherwise sooner or later we will cause trouble. (To be continued......)
