Huang Xunkun hesitated for a moment. The Huang family has always been "farming and studying to pass down the family". They pride themselves on passing down poetry and etiquette, especially Founder Taoism. Their children are never allowed to set foot in places like brothels. ︾乐︾文︾小︾说|
While he was hesitating, Wu Yi pushed him from behind: "Quick, don't stay on the street for too long!"
Huang Kunkun thought that this could be regarded as a matter of urgency. The two of them rushed into the courtyard. Behind them, the turtle slave closed the back door and lowered the bolt. He whispered: "You two masters, follow the younger one."
Huang Hankun originally thought that this courtyard would be like a wine pool and meat forest, but he didn't expect that this place was just a very secluded courtyard. He followed the turtle slave all the way, and saw that there was a cave like this, with sparse flowers and trees, and a deep courtyard, which was actually very quiet and elegant. I couldn't help but feel secretly ashamed: I was so ill-informed!
Fangchun Courtyard is a large courtyard in Guangzhou city. The high-end brothels of the Ming Dynasty were not simple brothels, but were actually complexes with catering, entertainment and fashion centers. Not only are there prostitutes, helpers, and musicians, but there are also a large number of service staff such as tailors, jewelry craftsmen, and chefs. Rich people stay here for leisure, not because of their "sexual" needs - all of them have beautiful wives and concubines in their homes - it is more like a modern leisure club.
Mr. Lin has his pink hair combed here. I often come here for entertainment and entertainment. He is a great benefactor here, and he meets guests here to discuss some confidential and important matters.
The turtle slave took them to the door of a small courtyard and left. The maid welcomed them inside. A fruit table had been set up in the middle hall, and there were quite a few people there. At a glance, Huang Hankun saw that apart from acquaintances from Yuyuan Society, there were also a few unfamiliar faces. Mr. Liang is not among them - probably because of his noble status, it is inconvenient for him to come out in such a mess.
Because most acquaintances no longer sit quietly when meeting each other. The two of them sat down and someone offered them tea. Everyone at the table was chatting.
…
"The Australians' methods are so high that we don't need to discuss it anymore. Just looking at the calmness of the market, there is no doubt that the city of Guangzhou is dominated by the Australians."
"This is the golden and silver mountain in Guangzhou. I'm afraid the Australians have been coveting it for a long time!"
"It's quite peaceful when we enter the city. I thought there would be a disaster of blood, fire and swords." Someone seemed to be rejoicing. "It's hard to believe that their military discipline can be so strict!"
"I heard that the Kun thief has the strongest command, but the discipline is very strict."
"Even the young people in the city don't dare to move. Suppression is very effective. We who have families and property are most afraid of the turmoil in the market." The speaker seemed to be frightened, "I just came here to see you. A scaffold has been erected at the intersection, and a few gangsters are hanging there - I heard they are all beggars taking advantage of the chaos."
"Well done! These scoundrels are accustomed to extorting money from the market. Even scholars and gentlemen have been harassed by them for a long time."
"The Australians have always been strong, but they just don't know what they will do next if they occupy Guangzhou."
"It would be nice if we could ask the court to negotiate for peace."
"If you want to recruit people, you can do it in Lingao. How can you let the court in the provincial capital just give up!"
"I'm just worried that the imperial court will gather troops to suppress the rebellion. This prosperous Wuyang City will be reduced to ashes!" someone said worriedly.
These words resonated with everyone. The common people are most afraid of war. Once the city is besieged and a war breaks out, the most unlucky people will be the common people. Don't mention you, a little scholar, when the time comes. Even Mr. Jin Shen could not avoid his family being ruined. It has only been a few years since the She'an Rebellion and the siege of Guiyang. Guiyang was besieged for several years. The city ran out of food and people ate each other. Even the daughters of officials were dragged away by the defenders to cook food, and the entire city almost turned into a ghostland. Before the siege, in addition to the original soldiers and civilians, there were also hundreds of thousands of refugees pouring in from all over the city. By the time the siege was lifted, only 600 people survived.
The scholars and people in Guangzhou have also heard these terrible news. When they think about the possibility of the imperial army coming to suppress them, wouldn't Guangzhou become the second Guiyang? Everyone looked uneasy.
"I think brother is overly worried." Wu Ji said, "Not to mention that the imperial court is currently stretched thin, and whether it can gather people and horses to suppress it. Even if it can mobilize armies from several provinces, I don't think there is much chance of winning." He looked at those present. people. "How many men and horses did the Australians have when Governor Wang encircled and suppressed Lingao? Now the Australians have many more men and horses than before!"
"Let's put it this way. Even if the imperial court wants to suppress them, I'm afraid they won't be able to reach the walls of Guangzhou."
Wu Ji nodded: "The Australians have strong soldiers and strong horses. They also have strong ships and powerful artillery. Even if the imperial court can send troops from several provinces to attack, I think the chance of victory is slim!"
Huang Henkun originally wanted to scold Wu Ni for "where has his position gone?", but then he thought about it and what he said was completely reasonable. In fact, I know better than him about the military strength of the Australians. We have to count on the weak officers and soldiers to defeat the bandits in one fell swoop, even if the sun rises from the west.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel secretly frustrated. At this time, he heard someone whisper: "That's good." Before he could think about it, he heard someone say:
"Now that the Australians are advancing on Guangzhou, the province's capital cities cannot be protected. Our wealth and life are all here. From now on, we can only let the Australians squeeze them into pieces."
"Even if we have to bow our heads under the roof, we still need to make friends with some Australian senior officials to protect ourselves."
"When it comes to Australian officials, I heard that he is headed by Minister Wen, but we, the common people, have no way to see him. It would have been great to see Dongzhu Guo, but it's abominable to hold him high!"
"Brother Shi, be careful! That person is very popular right now, and it's not something you and I can discuss."
"That's right, I might have to rely on Mr. Gao in the future."
Mr. Huang carefully observed everyone's expressions and found that no one showed any strange expressions, but quite a few people looked secretly happy. These mediocre people must be rebels! His face became darker and darker. These people have read the books of the sages and received the favor of the king. When things come to pass, all they think about is how to take action to protect themselves. They may not even think about going into business in the future and making a lot of money under the hands of the thieves! He sneered and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Gentlemen, the martial arts of Kun Thief are the best in the world. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the disaster caused by swords and weapons. I think the imperial court is determined not to be an opponent, so you can rest assured."
Many people's faces became slightly warm, remembering that they also had the reputation of being a scholar and superintendent of students in the Ming Dynasty. He then heard what he said next, "What you are most worried about is how the scholars will deal with themselves?"
"Brother Huang, why did you say this?"
"The kun thief always uses the fake kuns he taught himself when hiring people. This time he appoints fake kuns, and he loves to hire people who are poor and ignorant. Where can we and other scholars go?"
There was an uproar when this statement came out. Everyone shook their heads, most of them looking disbelieving. Someone said, "In the Song dynasty, they ruled the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats, so we don't need to worry. He now relies on clay legs and fake kuns, but scholars still can't trust him, so they can't do it. If Australians want to compete in the world, they must have courtesy and virtuous officials. When the imperial examination is held, famous people cannot be selected. The fake Kun with mud legs is nothing more than a temporary measure."
This statement was immediately approved by most people.
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Mr. Huang smiled bitterly and said nothing more. He had no confidence in these people to begin with, and now he just treated them as if they were talking to themselves.
While he was talking, a servant hurriedly came in from outside and whispered a few words in Mr. Lin's ear. Lin Zunxiu's expression changed, and the servant took out a roll of paper from his arms and handed it over.
Mr. Lin unfolded the scroll and looked at it for a few times, his face turned pale. Everyone asked anxiously: "What is it?" "Is it a proclamation from the Australians?" "What do you mean?"
"This is a list that was just posted on the street. A servant copied it." Lin Zunxiu said, and the sailor handed the scroll to Mr. Shi.
"Quest for Zhu..." Mr. Shi only read two words and did not dare to say any more. Everyone around him had a look on his face, and they already understood what he was holding in his hand. Huang Xunkun quickly took it and took a look. Sure enough, it was a treasonous essay.
Discuss Zhu Mingxi
The Song Dynasty had the misfortune of being captured by Tartars many times. The first was Jingkang, where Wanyan bullied Huiqin's benevolence. When I met Yashan again, Yuan Ling, the young king, was alone and widowed. Oh, Song De, even though the country is far away from China. After being moved overseas, the ancestral temple still exists in Australia. The Yuan Dynasty was unruly and heroes rose up. The head of Guizhou is forging ahead, but Hu has no luck for a hundred years. China was restored, and Zhongxia had its own holy king.
My husband, Zhu Ming Taizu Yuanzhang, stood up to march in the army, looking for the magical weapon. Killing the king of Ming Dynasty, killing his colleagues, Youliang, Guozhen, Shicheng, etc. were all slaughtered. Expelling the Tartars was the common cause of all the heroes of the Xia Dynasty. The achievements are so magnificent, how can one man in Huaixi do it alone? In Yuan Zhang's government, all the violence and violence followed Hu customs. The strong beams are arrogant, and the smell of mutton is still in the middle beams. The rabbit died when the dog was cooked, and Liu Ji and Song Lian died. The birds are hidden in their bows, and the good-looking blue jade is dead. From the right to the left of Long, no one can stand it.
It was like this when the puppet dynasty was founded, and it was even worse when it was passed down to the second generation. When an uncle seizes the throne from his nephew, he becomes a wolf. If you are close to someone, you will be evil and eccentric, and you will harm your loyal and good people. The envy of gods and men is shared by heaven and earth.
In the middle of the period, it became even more absurd: Wang was good at border work, but Huben was in mourning. The evil ministers are connected to the sea, and the Japanese pirates are poisoning the southeast. There are so many kinds that cannot be counted. People in China are all immoral. Since Shenzong, the government has been declining. Love and evil are distant from good, and the innocent are like grass and trees. The ugly people are in power, and the meat-eaters are nothing more than eunuchs. With one whip, nine out of ten families will perish, the silver will be collected, the people's morale will decline, the yin and yang will not be balanced, the parents will be on the road, the grain will not be harvested, and the innocent children will cry for food.
As of late, my breath is dying. In the three cases in the inner court, the relationship between the court and the public has been lost. Wang Gong exploded, and the sky took away his kingly energy again. If the eunuch is confused and confused, the eunuch of Wei can be called a thousand years old. Rogue bandits are raging, and post soldiers may be called Chuangwang. Internal and external troubles threaten the future. It stirs up whale waves, and red barbarians breed in the sea. Iron horses and carved bows, women's straightness is rampant in the fortress. Dragons and snakes rise from the ground, and crape myrtle shows murderous intent. Zhu Ming is running out of energy in the race to win the championship!
This dynasty prospered in the Southern Wilderness, inherited from its ancestors, and looked north to the South China Sea with the aim of reassuring the people. Under the command of Tianjing, the emperor's foundation was widely opened, and the flag of righteousness was raised to purge the evildoers. The Sixth Army will be in southern Guangdong, and the Tang Dynasty of Yao, Shun, and Yu appears again. Thousands of miles have returned to Qiongya, and there is hope that the carriages and letters from all over the world will be mixed together.
This is a message to the thirteen chief secretaries of the two capitals and the four hundred states:
Destiny is in the Song Dynasty, and the demise of the Ming Dynasty can be calculated! The heavenly soldiers are coming, let the officials and the people take care of themselves!
Don’t say you didn’t predict what you said! (To be continued.)
