Liu Ziguang came to the secret contact point of the Donglin Party on Beixin Street. It was still calm outside and there were not many pedestrians on the street. After entering the yard, he discovered that it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. A dozen well-dressed men were hiding in the dark on guard.
There were already several people in casual clothes sitting in the room.
"Lord Liu is here, please take a seat." Everyone greeted together. Liu Ziguang saw that except for the middle-aged man sitting in the master's seat, they were all acquaintances. Except for Qi Zhenming, there were also Duke Xu Zengshou of Wei and General Qianhu of the Han Dynasty.
Bai Wenyuan, the young emperor's personal eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and the Minister of War Yuan Chonghuan.
"How dare I, Liu Ziguang, sit down in front of all the adults? I'll just get a small stool at the end and listen to the adults' instructions." Liu Ziguang said hypocritically.
"That's wrong. Mr. Liu is now the admiral of the South Factory. Our great cause depends entirely on you. Come on, come on, come and take your seat." Qi Zhenming said this and pushed Liu Ziguang to the seat of the guest of honor.
"No way, what kind of admiral of the South Factory? I'm just pretending to be a fool with them. It can't be true." Liu Ziguang continued to refuse. He now knew that people in ancient times liked to be modest, and the careless attitude in the past was not popular.
"Even if we don't mention the Admiral of Nanchang, Mr. Liu is also the emperor's imperial general who protects the country and fights rebellion. He can still hold the top position." This time it was Wei Zhongxian who spoke.
"The Duke of Guo and Mr. Yuan are both here. I absolutely cannot sit in the chief position."
"If Mr. Liu doesn't take the first seat, then none of us will sit down." Xu Zengshou pretended to be angry.
"In my opinion, everyone has come together with the same ambition, which is to overthrow the dictatorship of the Party after the eunuchs and return power to Your Majesty. Revolutionary comrades have no distinction between high and low. Let's sit at the round table." Liu Ziguang said sincerely.
Unable to refuse, I made such a suggestion in a hurry.
"A revolutionary comrade has no distinction between high and low! Well said!" The middle-aged man, who had been stroking his beard and looking at everyone with a smile, patted the coffee table and stood up from the main seat.
"With the same ambition to cut off the lives of traitors in the imperial court, everyone here is an important minister of the emperor. There is no distinction between superior and inferior. Just as Mr. Liu said, let's change the round table." The middle-aged man is extremely popular.
She has a long body and an elegant posture that cannot be concealed by a clear shirt.
"You haven't asked for advice?" Liu Ziguang cupped his hand.
"I am Qian Qianyi." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Master Qian is the Minister of Rites of the current dynasty, the leader of Jiangnan literary circles, and the leader of our Donglin Party." Qi Zhenming introduced at the side.
"Long time admiration." Liu Ziguang hurried to greet him. This long time admiration was not a polite word. He had heard the story of Qian Qianyi marrying Liu Rushi, a famous prostitute in Qinhuai. He thought he was a bad old man, but he didn't expect him to be so graceful and elegant.
I'm sorry, everyone Liu.
As if he knew what Liu Ziguang was thinking, Qian Qianyi spoke eloquently: "It makes Mr. Liu laugh. I have been hanging out by the Qinhuai River for these years, sleeping on flowers and willows, reciting poems and writing poems. I have a little reputation, but that's all."
It was to paralyze the enemy, and now we have finally waited for the day when we can be proud. Master Liu, the reason for inviting you here today is to discuss important matters together. The day of the Emperor's wedding is the time for us to attack."
"Oh, are the party organizations ready?" Liu Ziguang raised his eyebrows with concern on his face.
"Come, let's sit down and talk." Qian Qianyi pulled Liu Ziguang to the round table that had just been set up. The two sat down next to each other. The other five people also sat around the round table. The old dean made tea for everyone.
Out.
"Protector Qi, it's up to you to explain the specific matters to everyone."
"Yes." Qi Zhenming agreed, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and began to speak: "Everyone must have known what happened today. The queen was chosen to be the daughter of Duke Wei. Miss Xu is a loyal minister and a famous general. She is smart.
Being virtuous, knowledgeable and sensible, and being in love with His Majesty is really a blessing to the Ming Dynasty and a blessing to all people. This matter seems simple, but in fact it is very difficult. Our Donglin Party has gone through many twists and turns and gone through all kinds of difficulties... It all depends on money.
Your Excellency, make plans and win the battle thousands of miles away..."
In Qi Zhenming's narrative mixed with countless words of praise, Liu Ziguang finally clarified the ins and outs of the post-election incident. The Donglin Party has been secretly contacting people from all walks of life who are dissatisfied with the government. This time, it is the result of the cooperation of many parties.
One day when the little emperor was playing in Xuanwu Lake, he met Xu Yuanhui, the sister of Duke Wei.
They made good friends with Xu Zengshou, and after some talk, he impressed the Duke of Wei, and persuaded the girl to participate in the show girl's audition. With the help of the Minister of Rites and her own superior conditions, of course she passed all the way and entered the final selection.
Several previous incidents regarding the candidates of the Li family and the Huang family caused a stir. The Eunuch Party and the Hou Party were also afraid of fighting against wolves, and were unwilling to cause an uproar. Through the Donglin Party's informants around the Queen Mother, they learned that the Queen Mother's
Her attitude is not determined to win, as long as she can prevent her nine thousand year old granddaughter from becoming the queen, she will be satisfied.
The news obtained by Qi Zhenming is also very close. The eunuch party system has been disgraced by Nanchang recently and it is difficult to launch a decent counterattack. The bottom line is that anyone can be the queen at the age of 9, but the daughter of the Li family cannot be the queen.
After mastering this information, Qian Qianyi made a bold decision. When the two parties were in a stalemate, he proposed to let the little emperor choose the queen by himself. As expected, it was accepted by both parties, and the little emperor saw that he was among the show girls.
Naturally, the dream lover who yearned for her chose Xu Yuanhui without hesitation, and she was secretly very grateful to Qian Qianyi.
The choice of the queen finally did not fall into the hands of the traitors. The patriots present could not help but applaud. Yuan Chonghuan was recently drawn into this camp. After hearing this, he raised his tea cup and said: "You have worked really hard for the Ming Dynasty.
, Mr. Yuan proposes a toast to you with tea instead of wine."
Everyone also toasted to each other. Taking the opportunity of lowering his head to drink tea, Liu Ziguang couldn't help but sneered. The queen's position is indeed a hot spot, and the Donglin Party is not willing to be left alone. Unexpectedly, it was done by them.
If the guess is correct, even the little emperor was designed by them. What a coincidence. Xu Yuanhui met Zhu Youxiao when she was playing in Xuanwu Lake. Wei Zhongxian and Qian Qianyi must have contributed here.
Duke Guo of Wei is a straightforward person, but for the sake of the queen's position and a bright future, he must have participated in the plan.
"I just said that the wedding day is when we start trouble. Where do we start?" Liu Ziguang asked.
"This is just a preliminary idea. When the emperor gets married, all the countries in the world will come to the court, and the officials from the frontiers will also come to Beijing to congratulate. This is really a good opportunity to catch all the eunuchs and the eunuchs. After these years of management, we
, it’s considered to be a bit powerful, now let’s talk about the power we have, I’ll go first.” Qi Zhenduo paused deliberately, looked around, and saw that everyone was listening to him attentively before continuing.
"The Donglin Party currently controls two thousand Jin Yiwei, all of whom are ordinary patrol officers. They have many conflicts with Dongchang on weekdays. When the time comes, they will say that they will eradicate Dongchang, and there will be no problem."
"I have three thousand able-bodied soldiers of the Xiaoling Guard under my command. Although they are soldiers guarding the tomb, I have been training them very strictly, and their combat effectiveness is at least 30% stronger than that of ordinary guardsmen." Wei Guogong Xu Zengshou said.
"I am in charge of 1,500 Han generals. Although we are just decorations in the palace on weekdays, we can come in handy at critical moments. Those ceremonial lacquer guns, golden melons, axes and axes are real things." He said this.
It is the Han general Qianhu Bai Wenyuan. Although they are affiliated with the Jinyi Guards, they are completely different troops. They are pure honor guards. The advantage is that they are in the palace, so they can coordinate internally and externally.
"Our family is very poor. We only have dozens of martial arts masters. We have to work hard to recruit them. The emperor is closely watched, so it is impossible to recruit troops on a large scale." Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said, his power is indeed too much.
If you don't have enough, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even protect yourself.
"I have a model battalion under my command. The three hundred soldiers are all veterans of the war for many years. Feel free to use them when the time comes, including my old bones. The guards in the capital still have some old friends with the old army. I will take care of myself when the time comes.
Come forward to persuade them to rebel before the battle." Yuan Chonghuan's few soldiers are not many, Qian Qianyi and Qi Zhenming nodded slightly and turned their attention to Liu Ziguang.
"I have three parts of the force. The first is the people from the South Factory. The personnel include the iron guards from the iron factory, the Jianghu friends from Ziguang Car Shop, and the Sequoia Group I brought from Shandong. There are nearly a thousand people in this part. Secondly,
There are a thousand Shandong soldiers scattered in the Wucheng Bingma Division. These people can control the Wucheng Bingma Division at critical moments. Finally, there are a thousand red shirt regiments stationed in **. If necessary, they can reach the capital in half a day.
They are all elites who have experienced battles for a long time."
"Very good, we have a total of ten thousand troops. Although the strength of the eunuchs is still very weak compared to the eunuchs, the troops are good but not numerous. During the wedding, let's capture the thief first and capture the king first. Only the chief culprit will be punished, and the rest will be punished.
Let the past be forgotten, those people who are clinging to the treacherous side will naturally surrender. We are sure to win this battle." Qi Zhenming clenched his fists and cheered everyone up.
"Yes, justice is on our side. After the uprising, I will contact the students in the Imperial College and Fushe, and ask them to spread their opinions widely to calm the people. When the emperor returns to power, we will start selecting scholars, reduce or reduce land taxes, and punish profiteers.
Bully, your return to the world is just around the corner." Qian Qianyi also described the bright future.
"The wedding day is not far away. During this period, we need to strengthen contact and formulate detailed plans. We need to collect and sort out the information about the eunuch party and the party. Huang eunuch is extremely difficult to deal with. They have eaten so much in recent times.
Fortunately, there was no decent counterattack. This is very abnormal. Abnormality is a monster. According to my understanding of him, this treacherous old eunuch must be plotting some major move. There is no need to worry about the Queen Mother."
Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Qi Zhenming smiled reservedly: "The right protector of the Donglin Party is beside the Queen Mother. We will know what they do immediately. As for the identity of the right protector, everyone will know by then."
The secret discussion was almost in progress. Qian Qianyi took over and said, "It's thanks to Mr. Liu that we can all sit together today. According to the list of Dongchang spies he provided, the spies lurking in the Duke's Mansion and Mr. Yuan's Mansion have surfaced.
Out of the water, the capital is now ours, and we no longer have to worry about those hidden spies. That’s it for today, I won’t let everyone eat. Once the traitors are eradicated, we will get drunk again. "
"Okay, let's get drunk and then rest!" Everyone said in unison.
In the nine-thousand-year-old mansion, Yang Bo knelt in front of Huang Huangrong and did not dare to speak. Huang Huangrong closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. After a long time, he asked leisurely: "How is he?"
"When I got back to my godfather, I found it too late. The children tried their best, but..." He took out a paper bag from his arms and presented it to him. "The great priest left a message before he left. There is also this thing, which is
It took the life of the great worshipper."
The nine-thousand-year-old man opened his eyes with a crack and looked over. Yang Bo quickly opened the paper package and revealed two black lead bullets inside. The round bullets were flattened and looked like a lump of lead.
"A poisonous concealed weapon can be thrown with such force... I'm afraid the people in the Tang Sect don't have such profound skills. Could it be a powerful crossbow?" Jiu Qiansui could tell at a glance that it was a lead shot hitting the person.
deformation caused.
"The big priest left behind a message saying that it was a kind of firearm. The other three priests were also beaten to death by the same thing. It was the child's incompetence that failed to persuade the four big priests, and they lost their lives in vain." Yang Bo said carefully.
, while secretly glancing at Huang Huangrong’s face.
"It's none of your business. Si Chongfeng has such a character. They have been with me for so many years and have never been able to serve. Now that they are loyal to the factory, they deserve to die."
"Then... where is the South Factory?" Yang Bo asked tentatively.
"Don't panic, we are not sure of victory at the moment. Let them be rampant for a few more days. Well, before July, let them return to the west. Huang Zhen's life, the lives of two hundred Dongchang fans, and the burning of the library
Our family remembers the deep hatred of Lou and the blood debt of Si Zongfang very clearly."
"Dad Shengming, the training of the Beijing Guards has been neglected for a long time. They are useless at the critical moment. We should wait until Weng Zhong from Changzhou Qi Machinery Factory arrives before taking action! At that time, there was Nan Factory, Liu Ziguang, and mysterious firearms.
, are all vulnerable."
"Oh, it's been ten years, and the bloodbath of that year seems to be still before our eyes. I really can't bear to start fighting again. Since my family was purified and entered the palace as a servant at the age of five, we have served two noble concubines, two queens, a queen mother, and three
An emperor, he dedicated his whole life to the Zhu family, exhausted all his efforts, and did not even allow my wife to live a peaceful old age..."
Jiu Qiansui sighed, as if recalling the glorious years of the past few decades, and his sad tone suddenly changed: "Our family is not someone who can be manipulated by others, and it is not that easy for the Li family to overthrow our family! There is still money.
Qianyi, he thinks I don’t know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, huh, I’ll stew you with a spoonful of it!”
