Chapter 33 The inside story of the assassination (Part 2)

After parting ways with Qian Ning, Qian Mo and his party came to Qian Mansion.

Seeing Qian Mo coming to visit, Qian Qianyi and his wife went to the door to greet him in person.

Qian Mo: "Xin'er has disturbed you a lot in your house. Qian Mote came to express his gratitude. A little gift shows how much he cares. Please don't dislike it, Mr. Shepherd and Mrs. Liu!"

Qian Qianyi said: "I don't know what to say. This girl Xin'er grew up under Madam's watch, and she has the same affection as mother and daughter. Qian's house is also her natal family, so why bother?"

Seeing that Qian Mo was not followed by many guards this time, Qian Qianyi quickly led Qian Mo into the inner hall.

Qian Mo understood that Qian Qianyi had something to discuss, so he left Lu Shanhai and Qian An outside.

Seeing that Qian Qianyi wanted to say a few words, Qian Mo fortunately got straight to the point.

Said: "Actually, there is no need to hide it from me, shepherd. Qian Mo knows that you still care about the Ming Dynasty!"

Qian Mo's straightforward approach caught Qian Qianyi a little off guard.

Qian Mo knew that Qian Qianyi would never admit being transparent in front of him now, so he continued, "I won't hide it from Mu Weng and Madam Liu. The previous attack on Taicang and Kunshan counties was done by Xiao Yin."

As soon as these words came out, Qian Qianyi and his wife were greatly surprised: "Didn't they hear that the Taihu water bandits who attacked the county were wiped out by the Qing army, and the heads of the bandit leaders were hung on the city tower for public display?"

Qian Mo said: "That's just a cover-up to borrow the heads of a few water bandits to escape from the golden cicada's shell!"

"Does the shepherd want to discuss with Qian Mo how to rob the 5 million taels?"

Now Qian Mo discovered that Yinliang may have escaped his control. Now that time is running out, there is no time to test each other with Qian Qianyi.

Seeing that Qian Qianyi remained silent, Liu Rushi picked up the topic and said, "Don't you take this seriously?"

Qian Mo said: "At the beginning of the year, Huang Yuqi launched an army in Zhoushan to fight against the Qing Dynasty. The shepherd, Mrs. Liu and Hai Hai rewarded the troops and promised to help recruit troops. Mo already knew about it, so why should I come to deceive you?"

"In the past, Mo Mo and Xiao Yin were under the control of Hong Chengchou, and the "World Situation" matter was also a last resort. As for the "Hua Xia Lun", it was also to deepen Dorgon's suspicion of Han officials. How could he really put 500W

Two tributes to the Qing court?"

At this time Qian Qianyi said: "500W taels of silver are indeed crucial to the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Do you have any ideas?"

Qian Mo said: "I ask the shepherd to tell the truth. Is Mr. Jiang Shanmaid in your house now?"

"Or I should call him Gu Ningren!"

Qian Mo finally remembered that Gu Yanwu (also known as Ningren) once used the pseudonym "Jiang Shanmaid".

Gu Yanwu, a thinker and scholar in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was born in Kunshan, Nanzhili. His first name was Jishen, Jiang, with the courtesy name Ningren, and later he changed his name to Yanwu, with the courtesy name Ningren. To avoid being framed, he used the pseudonym Jiang Shanmaid. He lived in Tinglin.

Town, scholars respectfully call him Mr. Tinglin. Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, and Wang Fuzhi are collectively known as the Third Master of the Early Qing Dynasty. Together with Tang Zhen, they are collectively known as the "Four Great Enlightenment Thinkers" in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

Gu Yanwu is known as the "Founding Confucian Master" and the founder of "Qing Dynasty Learning". He is a famous Confucian scholar, historian and geologist, and phonologist. He is very knowledgeable and has expertise in Confucian classics, history, phonology, primary school, epigraphic archaeology, local chronicles and geography.

He has profound attainments in poetry and literature, and has made great achievements in inheriting the past and linking up with the future. He has become an outstanding master who pioneered a generation of academics. He inherited the anti-Neo-Confucian trend of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, not only made a reckoning with the Lu Wang Xinxue, but also made a clear analysis of the psychology of Lu Wang and the Tao of Heaven.

, regulating qi, Taoism, knowledge and action, natural principles and human desires, all show a very different learning purpose from Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

Gu Yanwu's academic theory advocated "being knowledgeable in literature" and "having shame in doing one's own thing". He emphasized that learning is to manage the world, and one should explore the original story of one's own life and the affairs of the world and the country, and opposed the empty academic style of talking about one's character in the late Ming Dynasty. He proposed that "the one who protects the world"

"How can one be responsible for the humbleness of an ordinary man?" later generations summarized it as "the rise and fall of the world depends on the responsibility of an ordinary man."

In the third year of Shunzhi (1646), Gu Yanwu planned to go to Fujian to take up the post of head of the Fang Division. About the time he was about to leave, Lu Zhenfei sent someone to contact him and asked him to contact the "heroes of Huai and Xu". After that, Gu Yanwu "went eastward"

On the sea, as far north as Wangjiaying (now Huaiyin, Jiangsu Province), "servants come and go", running among the anti-Qing forces, intending to unite the rebels from various places and wait for the opportunity. Historically, Gu Yanwu should be in Huaibei at this time to contact all anti-Qing forces, but because

During Qian Mo's time travel, the "Silver Offering Incident" occurred. Gu Yanwu transformed into Jiang Shan's servant and followed Qian Mo.

Qian Qianyi saw that Qian Mo had figured out Jiang Shan's identity, so he called out Gu Yanwu.

Gu Yanwu raised his hands and said to Qian Mo: "I am wanted by the Qing court, so I changed my name and got to know the young master. I hope you will forgive me!"

Qian Mo said: "Brother Ning Ren, risking arrest and coming to Qian Mo's side, is it not just to follow Qian Mo's advice?"

"What happened to the assassin this morning?"

Gu Yanwu: "Don't worry, the assassin is one of our own and has no intention of taking your life. I originally wanted to cause an assassination. On the one hand, the Qing court would reduce its suspicion of you. On the other hand, I would take the opportunity to recommend a few people in the world to do business."

guard."

"I just didn't expect that this Lu Shanhai would show up halfway. You took advantage of the situation to recruit and set up a personal camp, so I couldn't make any more suggestions."

Qian Mo said: "Herdsman, brother Ning Ren, originally Hong Chengchou transported silver all the way north from the canal. Then I proposed adding a shipping line as a suspect. Now it seems that things may have changed."

"Yang Wenqi once sold a large amount of military supplies to our Taihu Rebel Army, and the Taihu Rebel Army had people who directly maintained contact with its army. The news from the rebel army was that Yang Wenqi was also interested in the 5 million taels of silver. Our original plan was to

The silver was loaded onto a ship and then secretly transferred to Jiangyin. But if you think about it, if you were Zhou Boda and Xie Sanmu, how could you let the silver on the ship and not send your own trusted team to escort it, but let the team stay in Zhenjiang to rendezvous?"

Qian Qianyi said: "This matter is indeed unreasonable. Yang Wenqi's troops are not direct troops of Zhou Boda and Hong Chengchou. The only explanation is that the money will not be on the ship at all, otherwise they will never trust Yang Wenqi to hand over the money."

Qian Mo asked: "Do we have any inside information on the official treasury where the silver is stored?"

Gu Yanwu said: "The news that 5 million taels of silver is going to Beijing has spread all over the world. A month ago, the Tatars ordered Yangzhou and Huai'an to dredge the canal and we noticed it when we recruited trackers. There are our insiders in the Nanjing treasury.

, people were also sent to monitor outside the treasury early in the morning. All the money has been packed and sealed, and there is no news of leaving the treasury for the time being."
