On May 25, the first year of Shenwu in the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Yueguang, who went south, finally came to Guangzhou. It took nearly twenty days to go south this time, and in fact he could walk faster, but Jiang Yueguang and his family couldn't get up.

When he came to Guangzhou, Jiang Yueguang looked at the only big city in the Ming Dynasty in southern China, and thought to himself that he would finally see the bastard emperor Zhu Hongsan. Some people said he was talented and clever, while others said he was cruel and easy to kill. This time I would like to see what kind of person he was. If he was really from the Ming Dynasty in Zhongxing, then I would help him even if he was cut into pieces.

Guangzhou was originally a major city in southern China. Except for Nanjing, Hangzhou and other places, it was worthwhile to Guangzhou. Now there are a large number of wealthy families fleeing from the south. In addition, Zhu Hongsan's new army has strong combat power, and the news of destroying 100,000 in Ganzhou has spread to Guangzhou. Guangzhou is even more fearless, with horses running and dancing, and there is no sign of destruction of the country at all.

Jiang Yueguang had just come from Jiangxi. Although the Qing Dynasty did not kill many people in Jiangxi, after years of war, Jiangxi was also a broken image. Now, when I arrived in Guangzhou, I saw the prosperity here, and there was no sign of war at all. I was really uncomfortable.

Jiang Yueguang and his other walk on a waterway, passing through the Beijiang River through Shunde, and then passing through the Pearl River Estuary to the Nancheng Wharf of Guangzhou.

There are now twenty-one piers in Nancheng, Guangzhou, lined up along the Pearl River. On the shore is the prosperous Nancheng District of Guangzhou. Here, there are Jiangxi porcelain, Fujian Guangxi fruits, Leizhou sugar, Zhaoqing silk, etc., all traded in Nancheng's commercial banks. In addition to the above commodities, there are iron, paper, cloth, bamboo utensils, medicinal materials, tea, wine, lacquerware, money, etc. The sea ship transports goods from Guangdong and southern China, and transports specialties from all over the Southeast Asian country, Siam, Cambodia's suma, pepper, ivory, Luzon's silver, copper ingots,

Commodities with rich exotic atmosphere, very exquisitely carved rhino horns, grinding white and bright ivory, snow-white bird's nest, and candle scent burning in temples with exotic sandalwood. Others include quilts, mats, yellow wax, borneol, straw mats, paper, mirrors, torches, thick silk cloth, Western cloth, various fur goods such as sand fish skin, deer skin, otter skin, horse skin, snake skin, ape skin, various minerals such as gold, tin, lead, copper, bauxite, etc. In order to feed the southbound refugees, rice imported in large quantities from Annan and Luzon.

There are seven markets for commodity trading in Nancheng District, which are very prosperous. The market is facing a harbor road, and small boats can be opened to the door of the store. Every household has a store, and every household does business, including bean cake shops, rice shops, sugar winter melon shops, rock sugar shops, medicinal shops, and cauldron shops. Guests from all over the country with accents can be seen at any time in the streets, docks, shops, and temples, including Westerners with high noses and blue eyes.

Jiang Yueguang came to Guangzhou when he was young. Guangzhou was also quite prosperous at that time, but it was much worse than Nanjing, Yangzhou and other places. It was just a prefecture-level scale in Nanzhili. Unexpectedly, it had developed into this way without coming to Guangzhou for more than a dozen times.

Now the boat Jiang Yueguang was on was already leaning against Shangguan Yong wharf and standing on the bow of the boat. Jiang Yueguang looked at the crowds of people on the wharf and asked to the Qian family around him: "I didn't expect that Guangzhou has developed to such a level. This Guangzhou local official is very capable!"

"Haha! Mr. Jiang was wrong. Guangzhou has developed into this way in the past few years. Guangzhou has only started to flourish since Emperor Shenwu set up a development zone in Nancheng four years ago. There were not so many merchants before!"

"Oh? All of this has been developed in the past four years?" In Jiang Yueguang's mind, it was completely impossible to develop into this form without ten or eight years. Hearing that he developed into this form in just four years, he could not believe it.

"Yes! If you have the chance, Mr. Jiang should go to Dongguan. It is now the second Guangzhou, and the population is no less than here. However, the air there is not very good. My master said that it is pollution, and the villain doesn't know what it is!"

Jiang Yueguang also knew that this family couldn't say anything. He was very anxious to see Qian Qianyi now, and he had a lot to ask Qian Qianyi.

There were not many people in the Jiang family, so they got off the boat soon and hired a few big cars on the dock. The group ran along Nancheng Street to Qianfu, Northcheng.

Jiang Yueguang looked at the residents of Guangzhou. If he hadn't just come from Jiangxi and had seen many disheveled refugees, he would have forgotten that he was in a chaotic world. There was a peaceful scene in Guangzhou, a rude boy playing on the street, a merchant who was peddling along the street, and a friend who greeted the street. Seeing Jiang Yueguang thought of Nanjing where he had traveled after passing the imperial examination, and a prosperous era. He could not have thought that he was just a thousand miles north, and it was a scene of hell.

Qian Qianyi's mansion was next to the palace and came to the gate of Qian's mansion. The servant asked Jiang Yueguang to wait for a while, and ran into the mansion to inform Mr. Jiang that he had arrived.

After a while, the door of Qian Mansion opened wide, and a young man walked out. Seeing Jiang Yueguang standing outside the door, he quickly stepped forward and knelt down to salute.

"Uncle is here, my nephew is polite!"

Jiang Yueguang and Qian Qianyi are both big bosses in Donglin, so they naturally met Qian Qianyi's youngest son Qian Sunai.

Jiang Yueguang stepped forward and helped Qian Sunai up and said, "Please ask for a good nephew. I haven't seen him look more handsome in a few years!" Qian Sunai is twenty years old this year. She just married Chen Zizhuang's niece last year and was full of energy. It was the most perfect moment for a man.

When Qian Sunai heard Jiang Yueguang praise him, he blushed and said, "I have praised my uncle. My nephew is still much worse than Brother Shi!"

Jiang Yueguang glanced at his son Jiang Huan and said, "He is not as good as you. He is over thirty and just got a Juren. His nephew is seventeen years old!"

Jiang Huan behind Jiang Yueguang was so ashamed that he heard his father belittle him so much.

Qian Sunai was also embarrassed and quickly interrupted and said, "Uncle and Brother Shi, please come in. My father is on duty. I have sent someone to notify my father. He will be back in a while!"

Jiang Yueguang nodded and followed Qian Sunai into Qian Mansion.

Qian Qianyi is now on duty at the Military Affairs Office in the palace. Now the north is in a tight situation, the Military Affairs Office in charge of military affairs is naturally very busy. Several other deputy Zhu Hongyi follows the emperor Zhu Hongsan every day, Qian Lide is in charge of the Jinyiwei, and Cao Fang is in charge of the East Factory. Now the only ones in the Military Affairs Office handle official affairs are Qian Qianyi and Chen Bangyan, who are so busy that they hit the back of the head every day.

Qian Qianyi heard the notice from the servant outside the door that his servant had come, saying that an important guest had come from the house and asked him to go back. Qian Qianyi knew that 80% of Jiang Yueguang had come, so he quickly told Chen Bangyan, went out of the palace gate to find the servant, and went home with him.

Qian Qianyi attached great importance to Jiang Yueguang's arrival. Now he is the only one in the Donglin Party in Guangdong, and several scholars have escaped from Nanzhili. However, seeing that his own people are alone and lonely, they are all under the sect of Ma Mingyuan and Tong Yangjia, Jiang Yueguang's arrival this time is a good opportunity to increase Donglin's strength.

Qian Qianyi was in contact with military intelligence at the Military Affairs Office. He knew that with the strength of the new army, as long as the emperor wanted to fight the Northern Expedition, he could completely recover Nanzhili. At that time, his identity as a master of Donglin would definitely be reused. At that time, he would make a name for himself and connect with Donglin to suppress the Huguang faction and Guangdong faction. He would definitely be able to give his grandson the position of crown prince.

Qian Qianyi returned home with his wishful thinking, and Jiang Yueguang spoke in the house accompanied by Qian Sunai.

"Brother Yan and Weird, we've finally waited for you!" Qian Qianyi shouted loudly at the entrance of the yard.

Seeing Qian Qianyi coming back, Jiang Yueguang also stood up, greeted the door, and said, "Hmph! Why did Brother Muzhai ask me to come out of the mountain for this old bone?"

"Brother Yan and Weird, there is nothing we can do! Now that the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, do you still want to stay out of the matter with such a talent?"

Qian Sunai started to squirt when she saw the two old guys meeting. Knowing that these were not something that she, a junior, could not listen to, so she quickly pulled Jiang Huan out and left the two old guys to talk.

Seeing that there was no one in the house, Jiang Yueguang lost his scruples. He had no regard for Qian Qianyi to go north to become an official in the Qing Dynasty.

"Brother Muzhai, have you been to the Qing Dynasty to be an official? Why did you go to Guangzhou again?"

After hearing Jiang Yueguang say this, Qian Qianyi cursed in his heart, this old guy really didn't know which pot he could bring up any pot, but he was really a fool to go to Beijing at that time. He could have thought that Zhu Hongsan could have such a big career.

"Yan and brother, don't humiliate my foolish brother. At that time, Nanjing was destroyed. I thought the Ming Dynasty was over. In order to suffer less, I agreed to the Qing Dynasty's request to go to Beijing to become an official!"

Qian Qianyi sighed, to be honest, he regretted it now.

"Yan and brother, you don't know! When the Manchus arrived in Beijing, they were like slaves to us, former Ming officials, and they had to kneel down and kowtow to the court, but they were not worthy of it. They asked Brother Yu to go to the Ministry of Rites to be the minister of the Ming Dynasty and be responsible for editing the Ming history. Fortunately, Brother Yu was in poor health at this time, so he took a leave and returned to his hometown in Changshu to retire. He thought that this would be the case in his life, but he didn't expect that Emperor Shenwu was thinking about his old love and asked me to go out of the mountain to Changshu, so Brother Yu came to Guangzhou."

Qian Qianyi is just for the sake of giving on his face. After all, it sounds nice to say that, and the literati still need some face.

Jiang Yueguang is not a young young man who is not very experienced in the world. He knows that Qian Qianyi said that he is in poor health and farts for the sake of the people. It is the main reason that he cannot use it when he goes to Beijing. However, Zhu Hongsan was unexpectedly able to send someone to pick him up. Jiang Yueguang knew about the dirty things between Qian Qian and Zhu Hongsan. At that time, Lao Qian's daughter was snatched away by Zhu Hongsan. Lao Qian also said that he had cut off relations with this daughter, but he did not expect that he could come to join his son-in-law in turn.

"Brother Muzhai, I remember that when you were in Nanjing, you were not in harmony with Emperor Shenwu. Why could the emperor still go to Changshu to pick you up?"
