425. Fighting with the Donglin Party [1/2]

--

After reading the letter from Prince Yu, although Yi Yun vomited three liters of blood and almost dehydrated, he felt much more comfortable.--/------- He knew that he was not fighting alone. If the war in the officialdom was to build relationships and fight for personal connections, he was not a person without support. On the contrary, he had accumulated considerable accumulation in the years he came to Dameng Kingdom!

"Come here!" Yi Yun said loudly: "I'm sending you pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I want to write a letter."

The first letter was of course written to the new Prince of Shu Han Daosi's cousin. Yi Yun didn't say anything wrong, but wrote a few words on the letter, "The Donglin Party wants to go against me and need your help."

The second letter was written to King Zhao Yunxuan of Jinling; the third letter was written to Governor Hu Zhongxian of Jiangnan; the fourth letter was written to Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian... Yi Yun wrote to greet all the non-Donglin Party members whom he knew and had dealt with, making them always ready to be their help.

These letters were ridden on the pigeon and sent to the city where they were. All Yi Yun needed to do was just wait for the result quietly.

Three days after the letter was sent, the attack of the Donglin Party began again.

This time, the news from the imperial capital was very different from the previous one. The Donglin Party members impeached Yi Yun the previous time, using minor charges such as inappropriate work style, but this memorial was much more serious. Just as the Thirty-Two Father-in-law said, the Donglin Party's attacks were gradually raised from small to large.

When the news came, Yi Yun and Zhou Zifan were sitting in the hall drinking tea. Zhou Zifan's expression was very bad. As a backbone of the Donglin Party, he was not exactly the same as other Donglin Party members. Although he was in the Donglin Party, he was a person who was dedicated to the country and the people, unlike other civil officials who only cared about his own interests. Therefore, he felt very unfamiliar with the recent impeachment of King Jiashan by the Donglin Party.

The 32nd father-in-law walked in quickly. Reported: "The prince, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy of the Donglin Party jointly submitted a memorial to impeach you, ignore the national laws, open up the maritime ban, build a harbor, and make a private connection with foreign countries, and disrupt the economy of the cute country! You even openly suggest that you cancel your position as the prince of Shanghai. It is better to only let you command Jiashan. Anyway, Jiashan has no port, so you are not afraid of you building a harbor."

"Are you really here?" Yi Yun sneered: "Zifan, what do you think about this?"

Zhou Zifan sighed: "Oh, I don't know what's going on. I have written countless letters to my mentor in the cabinet to explain to him the benefits of opening a maritime trade. It will bring great contributions to the national economy, but the people in our party still impeach the prince like this, which really makes me feel ashamed."

"Ha, I told you last time... This is not a question of whether there is any benefit for the country and the people, but a question of whether it is good for them!" Yi Yun shrugged: "They only know how to protect their own interests.--but they don't know that for the sake of the interests of the country and the people, such people will sooner or later stand opposite us."

"Prince, please give me some time." Zhou Zifan said seriously: "I want to go to Beijing in person to persuade my mentor and other colleagues to take back the impeachment against you."

"Don't worry!" Yi Yun laughed: "It's not your turn to come forward now, just watch quietly."

After this incident, Yi Yun ignored it as if nothing had happened. A few days later, the imperial capital sent back the news that the cabinet had suppressed the impeachment memorial and stopped sending it, and did not adopt the suggestion of confiscating Shanghai Oasis.

It’s not that the cabinet doesn’t want to issue it, but that the cabinet doesn’t dare to issue it.

Because just when the cabinet was "considering" whether this suggestion was feasible, a joint letter from Prince Yu and Prince Shu was sent to the imperial capital. The two most powerful princes on the southwest border announced together that Prince Jiashan was the good son of Prince Yu and the good brother of Prince Shu. The Shanghai Oasis was dug out from the hands of the sixth-level scorpion, and he risked his life. Whoever dared to take back Shanghai from him regardless of the family rules of the ancestors of the Dameng Kingdom would deprive the legitimate rights and interests of the royal children. The two princes would stop supporting the main battlefield of Huzhou together.

You should know that the battlefield in Huzhou is not an ordinary battlefield. The 50,000 rebels from Yunnan and Guizhou provinces are still entangled with the 50,000 and 60,000 troops of Dameng Kingdom. The two armies combined have more than 100,000 troops. The battle lasted for several years and has been on the supply of food, soldiers, weapons, and livestock during this period. All the supplies of food, soldiers, weapons and livestock are relied on Prince Yu and Prince Shu. If at this critical moment, the two princes refused to transfusion blood to the main battlefield of Huzhou at the same time, the hammer of the southwest side of Dameng Kingdom will instantly become a thousand holes.

The cabinet did not dare to use this matter to play with fire, and the cabinet really did not take any reason, so the first stage of the fight was announced to end before it even began. Yi Yun won without a fight, and the cabinet's civil servant did not dare to confiscate his oasis.

However, Yi Yun's victory did not last long, and the second round of battle began again.

This time, all the attendants of the Hanlin Academy wrote a letter together, impeaching Yi Yun to proclaim himself the King of Shanghai and set up a large number of troops privately, which exceeded the prince's specifications. You should know that Yi Yun's territory is not large, only Jiashan and Shanghai, but his private soldiers are as many as five or six thousand, and he is constantly buying family lords through the Beggars' Gang to expand his private soldiers. The number of private warships actually exceeded 30, which is even stronger than the scale of the Beiyang Navy in the monastery country when it was in its prime.

There are only two little princes in the oasis city. Why do you get so many soldiers? Can you rebel?

This impeachment was very powerful, and soon led civil servants from all over the country to write a letter together, saying that King Jiashan had been playing a bit too much, and the letters of condemnation from all over the country were like snowflakes flying.

There were even some excessive Donglin Party members who shouted wildly: "King Jiashan is obviously accumulating troops to rebel! We should take his throne and demote him to a commoner."

After hearing the news, Zhou Zifan became excited again and threatened to go to Beijing to seek justice for Yi Yun. However, Yi Yun still told him not to be excited and wait and see what happened.

A few days later, Yi Yun was having tea with Zhou Zifan. The 32nd father-in-law ran in and shouted: "Prince, the cabinet has once again suppressed the memorial and will not be sent!"

"Oh?" Zhou Zifan Daqi: "Why is this time?"

The thirty-two father-in-law smiled and said, "A memorial written by King Zhao Yunxuan of Jinling, King Cai Rou of Qiantang, Governor of Jiangnan Hu Zhongxian, Governor of Fujian Xiong Wencan of Fujian, and Governor of Penghu Zheng Zhilong of Penghu Zheng was demolished and sent to the imperial capital. In this letter, the princes and the governors listed the achievements of the prince's bloody battles with Japanese pirates and Westerners in the Jiangnan territory, which explains why the prince needed to keep so many soldiers? If these soldiers were not available, the Jiangnan territory would have been defeated to pieces."

Yi Yun smiled without saying a word.

The 32nd father-in-law continued: "This time our help is still very strong. The two princes, two governors, and a governor helps him. This is not the strength that only a few civil servants dare to provoke. After thinking about it, the fools of the Donglin Party thought about it and thought it carefully, and found that it was really difficult to use this problem to defeat the prince, because the prince was indeed using these troops to deal with Japanese pirates and Westerners. It would be a bit ridiculous to blame us for using these troops to rebel, and would be criticized by the people."

When the 32nd father-in-law said this, he couldn't help but say with a gaze: "In the past, I fought with the Donglin Party, but they always grasped the big truth, which made the people criticize our eunuch party, saying that we were traitors and persecuted loyal and kind-hearted. I didn't expect that I could also stand on the side of the reasonableness today. Hahahaha, the Donglin Party, which usually makes sense, is now afraid that the people will criticize it. Hahahaha!"

Yi Yun spread his hands and smiled and said, "This is to say that you are upright and not afraid of shadow slanting! I walk straight and sit upright, and do good things for the country and the people. The Donglin Party members want to grasp the big truths here, but there is no way."

Zhou Zifan couldn't help but sweat: "Why... I feel that the means used by our colleagues in the Donglin Party to deal with the prince are a bit like the methods used by the eunuch party to deal with our Donglin Party, all of which were infamous crimes or false charges."

"That's right!" Yi Yun laughed: "You Donglin Party and the eunuch party fought against the eunuch party. Under the leadership of a scumbag like the 32nd father-in-law, of course, the eunuch party could not occupy the truth, and was always criticized by yours with great principles. Now, if I were against the Donglin Party, I am really not afraid of them making any big principles, because I am not as unconventional as the 32nd father-in-law."

"But then again, Zheng Zhilong's troops have not yet begun to invade Southeast Asia. Once he starts to attack the countries of the South China Sea, it will be difficult for you to occupy the great truth." Zhou Zifan said seriously: "At that time, Taizu-hsiung had decided to 15 countries that would not be expropriated, including the countries of the South China Sea. Once Zheng Zhilong took action, even if he violated Taizu's orders, the people of the Donglin Party would attack together, and it would be difficult for you to find someone to help you. No one dared to risk the crime of violating Taizu's orders to help you. Even Prince Yu had to think about it carefully."

"Well, you're right! This is a big trouble, I have to think carefully about how to resolve it." Yi Yun frowned. Taizu's legacy order was a very sad hurdle. Not to mention this backward big and cute country, even in later generations, Taizu's legacy order was a difficult thing to overturn. Take the United States of Stars and Stripes for example. When the United States was founded, it made a declaration of **. This should be something like Taizu's legacy order. Until now, the Americans still regard the declaration of ** as the supreme treasure. All the spirit of the United States cannot violate the declaration of **, otherwise they will definitely be knocked down by the state machine.

It is not ordinary difficulty for Yi Yun to touch Taizu's orders. Maybe all the princes who support him now will oppose him. Even if his old man, Prince Yu, might persuade him to stop.

But he must not stop, otherwise Da Mengguo will lose the opportunity to sail. In less than tens of hundred years, he will be isolated from the entire world. The development of science and economy will slow down, be surpassed by other countries, and eventually become a country bullied.

"I really have to think about this!" Yi Yun nodded.

At this time, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Taishi Xiaohua, suddenly rushed in from outside and shouted, "Oh, something is wrong!"

"Huh? Why did you suddenly come? Have you sent me another gift?" Yi Yunqi said.

Taishi Xiaohua flattered her mouth and cursed: "I'll let me go. A few days ago, a few court officials came to the head of my Beggars' Gang. They read out the government order issued by the cabinet to me, saying that the threats from the Japanese pirates and Westerners have been resolved, so King Jiashan has no reason to continue to add private soldiers! I want my Beggars' Gang to stop being fed with all your people."

"What? Fuck me!" Yi Yun jumped up. (Your support on this site is my greatest motivation.)
