Chapter 146: Invitation to Reinstate the Society

The Donglin Party and the eunuch party have fought for decades and are now both sides suffered losses. Although the eunuch party has been destroyed, Donglin is not liked by Chongzhen. Now the chief assistant of the cabinet, Xue Guoguan, and even a remnant of the eunuch party. Xue Guoguan is always Qiu Donglin, and naturally he is quite disgusted with the restoration of the resuscitation of the self-proclaimed Xiao Donglin.

Wen Tiren, who had been in the position of chief minister of the Chongzhen Dynasty for the longest time, was also a treacherous minister who hated the Donglin Party. After he came to power, he overcame the eunuch party's rebellion case and gave Donglin a heavy blow. Many of the retired officials Liu Jun knew, such as Mei Zhihuan, Li Changgeng, Li Shuchu and others, were actually attacked and dismissed from office by Wen Tiren.

Xue Guoguan was recommended to enter the cabinet after Wen Tiren was dismissed from prime minister. After the prime minister Xu Yuliang stopped prime minister at the beginning of the year, he jumped to become the prime minister of the cabinet. After Xue Guoguan became prime minister, although Wen Tiren was dead, he still fully followed Wen Tiren's policy, guided Chongzhen to implement strict policies, and continued to vigorously exclude and suppress Donglin, as well as the rising Fushe.

Therefore, Fushe was extremely hated for the new prime minister and wanted to oust him as soon as possible. It just so happened that Wen Tiren's former prime minister Zhou Yanru had been seeking a resumption of the prime minister, and it was a hit on both sides. Fushe raised money for Zhou Yanru, created public opinion, and attacked Xue Guoguan at the same time.

It is certainly not so easy to oust the prime minister of the current dynasty, or the prime minister who is trusted by the emperor, and to re-send a former prime minister to the position of prime minister. It is of course not so easy. It is necessary to win over more allies, and Liu Qiao, the governor of the Jinyi in the court, naturally became the target they won over.

Because the Liu family's Jinyi family has a great influence in the Jinyiwei, and the Liu family has always had a very good relationship with Donglin. Although they are in charge of the Jinyiwei, they have always supported the Donglin Party. Whether it is Liu Shouyou or Liu Qiao today, they have all given great support at the critical period of the struggle between the Donglin Party and the eunuch Party.

Pulling the Liu family’s children into the Fushe is naturally an excellent way to win over Liu Qiao.

After careful consideration, Liu Jun thought he had grasped the plan of Fushe to recruit them into the club. He calculated the gains and losses again. Joining Fushe should not have too many disadvantages for him. After all, there are more than ten thousand members of Fushe now. Not many of them are there, and not many of them are there.

On the other hand, Mei Zhihuan, Li Changgeng, who he regarded as his teacher, were all from the Donglin Party, while Li Chunjiang, who he regarded as his brother, was a member of the Fushe Society. It is a very normal choice for him to join now.

Rejection will make people feel strange.

However, the members of the Fushe Society are publicly owned by real names, and all members of the Fushe Society will record their names and names on the national table.

Compared with the final failure of the Donglin Party due to the lack of strict organization and unified leadership, Fushe is obviously much stronger in this regard. The organization is tight, and each county has a person in charge. There are even specialists who raise funds. In addition, during the provincial examination year of each subject, most of the members of Fushe will gather in Jinling to hold alliance meetings.

It all shows that it was the early period of capitalism. If the Ming Dynasty did not perish in the Qing Dynasty, the Fushe might really develop into a modern righteous party.

"I dare not ask for anything I wish."

Liu Jun stood up and bowed and smiled. Compared to Liu Jun's calm performance, Liu Yunzhen and Fu Shan were both very excited. Being able to join Fushe was a proud thing for scholars today.

Because Li Chunjiang is the head of Fushe Macheng, and the admission has obviously been approved by the superiors, although another Fushan was added. The process is also very simple. Li Chunjiang took a pen to register the identity information of Liu Jun and Liu Ying and Fushan, and then the three of them signed and put their own signatures and handprints. They joined Fushe and became a member of Fushe.

After the ceremony, Chen Zhenhui and the four young masters smiled and said, "Okay, now we are truly allied brothers."

Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi, Hou Fangyu, Mao Xiang, Li Chunjiang, Mei Lian, Liu Jun, Liu Yunzhen, and Fu Shan raised their glasses and drank together.

Immediately afterwards, Hou Fangyu suddenly made a request to Liu Jun.

"We know that Brother Jiye is now named guerrilla by the emperor and has three thousand soldiers and horses in the unified battalion. We are recruiting soldiers and horses. We have a request, but I wonder if Brother Jiye can help."

Liu Jun knew that Hou Fangyu, the former son of the Ministry of Revenue, was good at strategy. At this time, he listened to his request and thought about it. "But it's okay. As long as you can help, Jiye will definitely not refuse."

"That's right. The club has a plan to send a group of members into the Nine-Headed Bird."

Hearing this, Liu Jun couldn't help but feel shocked and looked solemn.

Did Fushe already understand the hard truth that power comes from the gun, and they are sending Fushe members into the Jiutou Bird Camp to infiltrate and wait for the time to rush to seize power, or do they just think of him to receive training?

But no matter which one it is, it shows that his previous speculation that Fushe wanted to infiltrate the army was not impossible.

Liu Jun’s first idea was to refuse, so his own troops could not allow others to penetrate.

But then I thought about it, did I overreact? After all, although the Fushe is now crowded with people, it is mainly composed of scholars from Jiangnan, all of which are scholars. In the Ming Dynasty, there are more than 600,000 scholars alone.

The scholars have entered the Nine-Headed Bird Camp, but they want to seize power, but they are afraid that there is little possibility.

"What are your specific plans?" Liu Jun asked.

Mao Xiang said, "Now there are Jiangu who have repeatedly invaded the enemy outside, and there are bandits who are rampant in the world. We scholars cannot only read the books of sages and ignore the affairs outside the window. If we enter the imperial examination in the future, we will have to face foreign invaders and internal thieves. We all admire the previous public editor's initiative to establish the Nine-Headed Bird with you, so we plan to send some Fushe brothers into the Nine-Headed Bird camp and be proficient in some military affairs."

This reason is not far-fetched and has a stronghold.

Liu Jun nodded, "I don't know how many people you plan to send here."

"About one or two hundred people. If the effect is good, maybe we can treat the Nine-Headed Bird as a martial arts place in the future and send more members to train." Chen Zhenhui said.

Their choice of Jiutou Bird is mainly because this army can fight. In just a few months, they have achieved such a record. On the other hand, Jiutou Bird is also his own. Whether it is Li Chunjiang or Liu Jun, they are now brothers in the Fushe Alliance. They use Jiutou Bird Camp as a training base, which makes them more at ease.

Liu Jun quickly calculated in his mind that if there were only one or two hundred people, the impact would not be great. After all, he now has nearly 7,000 people in the two battalions of war and auxiliary battalions.

Perhaps, we can also use each other, and a large number of scholars come to the camp and help us share some burdens temporarily. For example, we will play a temporary guest appearance in a document, literacy, etc.

"No problem." Liu Jun first agreed and then said. "I think it is possible to set up a teaching department in the Nine-Headed Bird Camp, gather the scholars who came together, and then select a group of the most elite Nine-Headed Bird veterans to train together. In addition, I will also take time to teach them some tactics separately, etc., what do you think?"

Chen Zhenhui and others looked at each other, then nodded, "This is OK, it's good."

At this time, Mei Zhihuan, who was in the main seat in the hall, had already stood up.

"My fellow villagers, please listen to my Mei Zhihuan say a few words here."

The gentry and guests in the hall were quiet.

"Everyone, here, I would like to congratulate Mr. Liu first. The Liu family has virtuous sons and grandsons who have returned to the clan. It's a joyful congratulation." Mei Zhihuan raised the glass to Mr. Liu.

"Secondly, Mei also wants to congratulate Liu Jun. This young man is also the best young man I have met in recent years. He has ideas and abilities. This time, the Hutou Castle Victory severely damaged the thieves and bandits, defending my hometown, and it's a good example."

There was a sound of admiration in the hall. No matter what, Liu Jun repelled the thieves this time and indeed saved the lives and property of many people present.

Mei Zhihuan continued, "Liu Jun is our village party, and the Jiutou Bird is our soldiers. Therefore, Liu Jun and Jiutou Bird camp. We must support it and strongly support it. Now Liu Jun is promoted to a guerrilla general, and Jiutou Bird has also been expanded into a camp. This is a good thing. But everyone knows that recruiting soldiers and horses requires food and money, but these cannot be counted on the court, and everyone knows that the court is also difficult. Therefore, today I am here to promote everyone who has money to donate money. Those with food donate food and raise money for Jiutou Bird."

"Everyone who has money pays money, and those who have food pays food. Although the bandits were repelled last time, they were not destroyed and they may come back to take revenge at any time. We need the Nine-Headed Bird to be stronger and continue to defend the villages and protect the country and safeguard the people."

As soon as Mei Zhihuan's words finished, a man below shouted loudly, "I donate 5,000 taels of silver."

Liu Junxun looked over and found that the person who was talking was an old acquaintance, Zhang Tuhu, his neighbor of Xiwan. This guy also came here today. However, he had not received a seat in the hall before. When Mei Zhihuan was speaking just now, he came to the door of the hall. He seized the opportunity and was the first to come out to donate money to respond.

When Zhang butcher Zhang saw Liu Jun looking over, he nodded at Liu Jun. Although he was just a butcher, he was not rich enough. The most important thing was that Liu Jun knew about his counterfeiting silver. Now, seeing that Liu Jun was bigger than the official position every day, he was already a guerrilla general of Mingdatianting. He became more and more unable to sleep well at night, for fear that one day Liu Jun would find an excuse to search his house and take it away the property he had accumulated over the years.

Liu Jun looked at Zhang Butcher's eyes, smiled at him, then raised his hand and fisted to arch him.

At this time, the butcher Zhang shouted again, "I will donate another 5,000 taels, and add up to 10,000 taels of silver."

A burst of marvels came from the hall. Some knew Butcher Zhang, and some didn't know Butcher Zhang, were still asking who the fat man was.

Liu Jun bowed again and said loudly, "Liu Jun and the brothers of Jiutou Bird are here to thank Mr. Zhang for his strong support in Xiwan, thank you."

Liu Jun is indeed very grateful to Zhang Tuohu. Ten thousand taels of silver is not a decisive amount. However, Liu Jun knew that Zhang Tuo's family property was quite large, and he made a lot of money by making fake silver. Liu Jun did think about the idea of ​​hitting Zhang Tu's wealth, but the fat man has been performing well since then, and he is not easy to do.

Zhang Tu gave Liu Jun so much money, and all kinds of holidays were offset. Moreover, he had a son who was a juren and a son-in-law who was a county magistrate. Liu Jun had to forgive others and forgive others.

With the support of Zhang Butcher Zhang so hard, this fundraising was very successful.

Especially when Mr. Liu took out 100,000 taels of silver at once, it was even more fulfilled. In fact, these silvers were all given to Liu Jun by the Liu family before, but they were brought back and put on a new atmosphere at today's fundraising meeting. But, 20,000 taels of which were forced to be litigated by Liu Jun, 50,000 taels were borrowed, and the remaining 30,000 was donated by Liu Jun and the Duke of the Liu Family and the various houses raised to Liu Jun.

But the 30,000 taels were not unconditional. The Liu family gave Liu Jun 30,000 taels of silver, while Liu Jun had to arrange dozens of children from each room to the Jiutou Bird Camp, and it was not an ordinary arrangement. Instead, the names of these children were recorded in the military achievements of the previous battle of Tiger Head Fort. Everyone arranged small positions such as team chiefs and flag chiefs.

With this military merit, they can easily promote seventh-rank officials such as the General Principal and General Principal. After all, there are so many children in the Liu family, not all of them can pass the imperial examination. They can take a sailboat and take the opportunity to find an official position. Even if they are military officers, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, these people don’t really want to enter the Jiutou Bird Camp. As long as they get an official position and then withdraw, they just want the status of this official. With an official position, they can enjoy many privileges and preferential treatments. Whether they are local owners or businessmen, they can benefit a lot.

The Liu family spent 30,000 taels of silver to exchange for these official positions, which can be said to be extremely cost-effective. Of course, Liu Jun did not lose much, and everyone got what they wanted.

With the big money of Zhang Tu and Liu's family, Mei Li, Zhou Qiu and other families also took out a lot of money and grain. Liu Jun gave them the same reward. They arranged several children to join the Jiutou's military merit book for each family, and they missed a military merit and were rewarded with an official position.

Nine-headed birds were just a group trainer before. Although they had also made booklets in the county, it was still easy to modify some lists with Liu Jun and his abilities. Although this was an illegal operation, who is still in charge of this these days? Especially now that Liu Jun is appreciated by the emperor and the prime ministers.

As for the interests of the officers and soldiers of the Nine-Headed Bird, they will not be harmed.

Many shops in Qihuang also donated a lot of money and food. In the future, they still have to rely on the protection of the Nine-Headed Bird, so naturally they did not have the determination to sacrifice their lives and money.

During this period, the four young masters and others donated 1,000 taels each, and even Li Zhenli donated 1,000 taels, Li Xiangjun and Dong Wan'er each donated 500 taels, and Chen Yuanyuan also donated 500 taels, but Dong Wan'er paid her money for her.

What surprised Liu Jun was that Mei Qing also donated 500 taels, while his father and brother donated 5,000 and 1,000 each.

After raising more than 190,000 yuan, Mr. Liu finally took out more than 1,000 taels and raised enough 200,000 taels. The fundraising meeting was very successful, but deducting the 100,000 yuan from the Liu family, it was actually only 100,000 yuan. Of these 100,000 yuan, nearly half of the 100,000 yuan was obtained by Liu Jun and the powerful tribes.

But no matter what, Liu Jun still received 200,000 taels of silver, and there were also thousands of stones of grain and grass donated by many grain merchants and landlords.

With such money, Liu Jun no longer has to worry about the Anjia silver and food and salary of Jiutou Niao. He even bought weapons and firearms and firearms for the time being. To be continued.
