Guizhuang was unable to see Qian Qianyi in the end...?

That night after passing the card, Guizhuang was captured by local yamen runners in the inn where he stayed. After a brief interrogation in the Jiangning Governor's yamen in Suzhou, he was sent directly to Nanjing.

"The suspect returned to Zhuang and summoned a group of rebels at home on the 13th day of the 11th year of Shunzhi to discuss the rebellious acts of colluding with Zhejiang bandits, pirates and other rebellious acts..."

In the lobby of the Nietai Yamen, the clerk began to recite the complaint handed over to Suzhou according to the script.

When the Tonghai case broke out, Li Zhichun, He Wangsheng, Ping Yitong and others were naturally the brunt of it. They either recruited Zheng Chenggong's army or organized the rebel army to assist, and they were all criminals, so they naturally killed them to serve as a warning. However, during this period, a large number of gentry and Confucian scholars ran for the Ming army and persuaded the officials of various prefectures and counties that the green camps were not allowed to be punished anyway.

For those officials who were in the Green Camp, Jierharang pinched his nose and used the tricks of the Qing Dynasty's previous use on Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao, Hao Shangjiu and Ma Xiong, etc. Anyway, they once again used the tricks of the forces such as Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao, Hao Shangjiu and Ma Xiong. After receiving the signal that Jierharang and Ma Guozhu were interested in launching the Tonghai case, they arrested the gentry and Confucian scholars who had previously persuaded them to prove their loyalty to the "Qing Dynasty" to Jierharang.

According to the interrogation and information from the Jiangnan officialdom, in addition to Li Zhichun and others, there was another organization that instigated so many gentry to participate, which was Jingyin Poetry Society, and Guizhuang was the culprit. As for the reason, it was very simple. The meeting was held in Guijia's house, and Guizhuang's identity as an organizer would definitely not be able to escape.

"The evidence of the crime is conclusive, can the suspect have any excuses?"

Since the evidence of the crime has been confirmed, it is nothing more than a formality. The officials in the hall spoke perfunctorily, and Guizhuang in the hall was silent.

"Drag down, you will be punished with eighty poles."

The punishment of the rod is just a punishment for the court. Before, several gentry were swearing in the hall. First, they slap their mouths, and then they went down one by one. If they had not left their lives to be killed for public display, they would have been killed in the hall long ago.

Guizhuang didn't say anything, not because he had nothing to say. He was not without the altruism of the words. On the one hand, he was too lazy to pay attention to these Qing Dynasty lackeys, for fear of dirtying his tongue. On the other hand, he could not do so now, at least it would not work until he was sure of some things.

The water and fire stick hit the body one after another. Guizhuang gritted his teeth and endured silently until the moment he lost consciousness. After a moment of losing consciousness, a basin of cold water was poured down, and Guizhuang woke up quietly, but the pain on his body came suddenly with the subsequent punishment, and a huge pain burst out from his mouth.

After repeated this several times, Guizhuang seemed to be no longer his own body, like a walking corpse, and even the pain could not be heard.

The purpose of the punishment is to exert pain, and at the same time, it presents this pain to others in order to achieve the effect of punishing the past and preventing the future. Guizhuang was beaten so hard that he had no strength to scream. The censor in the hall did not continue to torture him, but asked the yamen runners to drag Guizhuang, who had fainted again, and put them in death row. He and other officials in the hall had to work overtime to "try" other criminals suspected of "Tonghai". They would never let anyone go of rebellion who dared to say no to the Qing Dynasty, nor would they wrongly accuse anyone of who could prove their innocence with money.

Of course, evil like Guizhuang is useless even if there is money, because no matter how good the money is, it is not as expensive as the head.

The yamen runner dragged Guizhuang, who had fainted, into the prison like a dead body. It was not until a long time later that Guizhuang slowly woke up. In the dim light, what he saw was that the prison was filled with prisoners, but when he looked closely, he was all scholars dressed as Confucian scholars. Some lay on the ground like him, while others were sitting on the wall without any gaze, and some even made whimpering sounds, and occasionally they would call for laughter from others.

"Hengxuan, why are you arrested? Didn't Chi Ming go to inform me in person?"

Guizhuang raised his head and saw a familiar friend of Jingyin Poetry Society. He rarely said anything because his ambitions were not consistent, but he was full of concern and even blocked his words in his throat for a while.

"I have something important, who knows it's on the road..."

Speaking of this, Guizhuang suddenly pulled the man, lowered his voice and asked him, "Are there anyone else caught besides you and me?"

Hearing this, the man was stunned at first, then shook his head at Guizhuang, saying that he was not very clear, but he had not seen a member of Jingyin Poetry Society who was imprisoned in this prison.

With this answer, Guizhuang felt a little relieved. But he also knew that this person did not know that Qian Qianyi was the supporter and organizer behind many Southeast anti-Qing people, so he had to keep asking and indirectly attacking. Fortunately, among the arrested Wenren, Qian Qianyi, the leader of Southeast Wenzong, Guizhuang was completely relieved.

"Fortunately, Mu Weng was not exposed."

Guizhuang felt relieved and felt that this man was immediately overwhelmed by fatigue and fell asleep on the ground covered with grass in a drowsy way. It was not until the next day when he came to court again, and what he was about to face was a new round of punishment...

While arresting the people of the southeast anti-Qing, officials in Jiangnan also confiscated the property of these anti-Qing people based on the charges. Many of these property were embezzled by officials at all levels, and most of them were transported to Nanjing as food and wages for the Jirhalang army.

With this kind of sharing, officials from all over the country benefited a lot and soon became happy. Next, the one who went to see Zheng Chenggong in the Battle of Nanjing was Tonghai and persuaded the local governments that the green camp was Tonghai. In the past, Tonghai had resisted the oppression of the Qing people, and Tonghai had also resisted the administration of the Qing government or the tax resistance. Tonghai had verbally or in writing, even those who expressed dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty. Even later, even those who had hatred or conflicts with officials from various places were framed as Tonghai...

The Tonghai case began to evolve into a movement where officials from all over the country pulled Jirgalang and Ma Guozhu's tiger skins, and used their families to get rich through frame-up and other forms. With this power, they were immediately out of control. Jirgalang did not express any dissatisfaction with these behaviors that completely forced the vast number of Southeast gentry to the opposite side of the Qing Dynasty. While sending huge amounts of wealth along the canal north, Prince Heshuo Zheng also used a simple word to explain the reason for the nervous Ma Guozhu.

"The people's hearts? My Qing Dynasty is a barbarian country in the eyes of the Han people. I have never had any people's hearts. The current atmosphere is nothing more than the deterrence of the Eight Banners Army and the massacres again and again. The Han people are afraid that the Qing Dynasty's country will be stable, and what I am doing today is to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army of conquering the army. As long as I can defeat Zhejiang bandits, no matter how many gentry rebelled, the Jiangnan Qing Dynasty was still the Qing Dynasty. But if I can't win, Chen Wen will clean up this mess. Why are you doing so much effort?"

With this, the enthusiasm of the Jiangnan government's official Yu Tonghai case was further improved, but the gentry in the southeast could not be completely killed just by trying. In addition to fleeing to the occupied areas of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they gathered crowds in mountainous areas, lakes, islands and other places to organize the rebel army to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

For a time, the seven prefectures and one state controlled by the Qing Dynasty were everywhere, and small groups of anti-Qing rebels like Pingyuan received huge personnel and materials, and the local rule of the Qing Dynasty soon exuded a destructive power far better than before.

"We still have to ask the Prince of Kuaiji to send troops. We can't last long."

I just killed a few minor officials and yamen runners who went to the countryside to urge for statutes. Compared to the gentry around me, I seemed to be able to recover Nanjing tomorrow. Pingyuan had been wandering on the tip of the knife for a few years, and I still know the basic truth.

In this world, there are always the most fence-bearing grass. Although a large number of gentry are now committed to the fight against the Qing Dynasty, most people are still obedient, just like when the Qing Dynasty issued a shaving order. Compared with the Qing Dynasty, the gap between manpower and material resources is too big. Now they are attacking some minor officials and yamen runners. Once the regular army is not properly handled, they will be finished immediately. Even if they don’t die for a while, they will sooner or later be exhausted. For the sake of the present, only by inviting the tiger in eastern Zhejiang can we kill the two beasts, Jirgalang and Ma Guozhu, there is no other way.

Not only Pingyuan can see this, but a large number of gentry fled to the occupied areas of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In addition to singing peace in the local area, it is also necessary to go to the Kuaiji County Prince's Mansion in Jinhua Prefecture, asking Chen Wen to send troops to uphold justice for them and relieve the suffering of the gentry in Jiangnan.

This is a matter of course. Now even a fool can see that the only one who can resolve this crisis is the remnants of the eunuch party whom they had previously blurted out, shameless people, vulgar martial artists, and traitors. In the words of some nerds, if the prince of Kuaiji is not out, what can the people do?

……………………

Wu Yan left and returned home and soon entered the territory of Songjiang Prefecture, where the Ming army was stationed. Although Nantang Camp retreated to the handover of Jiaxing Prefecture and Hangzhou Prefecture, the deterrence of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was here. The Qing officials in Suzhou said that they would not dare to come here to arrest people no matter what.

But on the day he entered Songjiang Prefecture, he received the news that Guizhuang was arrested. The bad news came to his ears, but Wu Yan didn't even sigh and rushed to Jinhua overnight because Chen Chen and Gu Yanwu were both there. Now one worked in the Propaganda Department of the Kuaiji County Prince's Mansion, while the other had joined the Huaxia Revival Association, which was slandered by the gentry of Jiangnan, who was slandered as a white lotus and smelled the fragrance. Only by letting them go to Chen Wen as soon as possible can Guizhuang have a chance to survive.

Sitting in the carriage day and night, he finally arrived at Jinhua Mansion. Wu Yan found Gu Ningren who was meeting guests at home according to the address Gu Yanwu had previously left for Guizhuang.

"Ningren, Hengxuan was captured by the Tartars and was arrested by the Tartars..."

Gui Qi and Gu Qi not only talk about their literary style, but also their friendship. Guizhuang was captured by the Qing army, which was definitely a bolt from the blue for Gu Yanwu, and he immediately stood there.

Next, Wu Yan informed him after receiving the news, went to Kunshan to persuade Guizhuang, and the words Guizhuang said to Gu Yanwu without saying a word.

Guizhuang once asked Wu Yan to tell Gu Yanwu not to go back to his hometown in Qiandeng Town. His servants had been in love with Ye Fangheng, who coveted Gu's property. In history, it was in this year that Gu Yanwu was imprisoned because of this, and Guizhuang begged Qian Qianyi to rescue him. Now Gu Yanwu has always been in Jinhua and Lu Liuliang and others to cultivate knowledge and promote anti-Qing ideas, but he did not go home. The charge of Tonghai that Ye Fangheng put him on was also turned into Tongzhe, but he was unable to capture him. Guizhuang was imprisoned.

"Hurry, let's go to Kuaiji County Prince's Mansion."

Gu Yanwu pulled Wu Yan and left. However, the guests in his family were not from Jiangnan. He had read his articles in the diary newspaper. The gentry of Jiangxi who came to visit him came to visit him. Seeing that Gu Yanwu had no longer cared about him, he had to leave a letter and say goodbye. He had no choice but to do it. He had heard a lot of how the gentry of Jiangnan scolded Chen Wen behind his back. Moreover, in the past few months, the gentry of Zhejiang and Jiangxi have been scolding Sun Kewang. From the house arrest of the emperor to forcing Li Dingguo to the armed confrontation in Yuanzhou Prefecture during Chen Wen's troops in Hangzhou, it seemed that he was going to march into Huguang and welcome the emperor. Who knew whether Chen Wen was willing to care about the life or death of the gentry of Jiangnan.

Gu Yanwu hurried to the Prince's Mansion of Kuaiji County, but Chen Wen was not in the palace, but in a workshop of the Military Industry Department, he interviewed a Huizhou businessman named Wang Fu.

"The raw materials include military farms from all over the world, especially many of them in Zhejiang can be changed to plant them, and there is no need to worry about sales when the goods are produced. Thailand, Japan, North Korea, Ryukyu, and they will be purchased at high prices. This is a sure profit and no loss. The rest depends on Mr. Wang. I just want to be a hand-off manager."

Supporting industry is Chen Wen's established plan. Now the water conservancy workshop has become a scale, and the production of various fixed models of machinery is largely produced, whether it is hydraulic machinery, wind, human and animal machinery, and the productivity is far better than manual construction. As long as Chen Wen thinks, Zhejiang can build workshops in a few years, and the products produced will also go all over the world through the channels of European maritime merchants and Chinese maritime merchants.

"The king is responsible for everything every day, and it is a blessing for the villain to share the worries of the king."

He sent Huizhou to the Ming army intact with Chen Wen's tiger skin. Wang Fu not only received Chen Wen's endorsement, but also entered the forefront of the support list, even higher than the old Mr. Zhu, whom he once regarded as an idol. Wang Fu understood all this as a continuation of "the country's emphasis on military merits", so he cherished this hard-won reward even more.

"Mr. Wang can choose a site and build a workshop now. The machinery needed will be in place soon. You are the first batch."

With the outbreak of Tonghai case, a large number of gentry from Jiangnan went south, which led to Zhejiang consumption and to a certain extent boosted the economy, while also brought the habit of empty talk to this land again.

Every day, there are petitioners. They unanimously asked Chen Wen to lead the army north immediately and drive the Qing Dynasty out of the south of the Yangtze River to relieve the suffering of the people in Jiangnan. The slogans were shouting, and even there were many people who took the initiative to praise the military supplies, and the amount was still quite large. This was a treatment that Chen Wen had not enjoyed for several years.

When Chen Wen returned to the palace, he didn't even have time to go back to see his wife and daughter, and saw Gu Yanwu, who was already sweating profusely. He politely listened to Wu Yan's experience, but Chen Wen couldn't give them any time, because once he said this, it would immediately spread throughout Zhejiang and Jiangnan. Jiergalang sat in the headquarters and could get the time to send troops. There was no way, this was a gentry.

When she returned home, her daughter was still taking a nap. Chen Wen ate a snack and returned to the study, trying to deal with some official duties before supper.

In the study, the servants were not allowed to enter it. Only Zhou Yueying grinds her bare hands by her desk and added fragrance to her red sleeves. It was not until a long time later that the time for supper came and Chen Wen's official duties came to an end, and she held Chen Wen's hands.

"My husband, the right time, the right place, and the harmonious people, all three are in place. It's time to send troops."
