Chapter 378 Reorganization of Donglin

In the late Ming Dynasty, his thoughts were already very open, but Liu Rushi was a woman after all.

Many gentry did not dare to have an attack due to Qian Qianyi's face, but they all looked bad.

"The situation is not clear now, so we are on the verge of caution!" A gentleman shook his sleeves and turned his face to the side.

"It is a real man to be able to tolerate others and not tolerate others! Mrs. Qian didn't know that the situation was dangerous. If she made a mistake, she would be doomed. Instead of taking risks, it would be better to wait until the situation is clear before making a decision!"

After a while of silence, several gentry were shameless and explained their weaknesses one after another.

Although it is a shame to be ridiculed by a woman, they are indeed afraid of being killed by the Qing Dynasty.

When these people followed the shaving order, they had already given up their dignity. Being ridiculed for a few words now is nothing. If they can't bear it, they will not be able to live now.

At this time, Qian Qianyi asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, if the situation is clear, will the court still need you?"

"This~" everyone couldn't speak.

Indeed, the situation is clear. How could those who surrender to the court first to tolerate them to divide their interests? If they don’t divide them, they will be Amitabha Buddha, so how could they let them pick fruits?

Qian Qianyi then said in a deep voice: "Everyone, listen to me. It is indeed a good opportunity at this time, and it is also our last chance. The time is too early, and the King of Kings retreats step by step, and cannot shelter us. Taking a rashly side will only bring disasters. The time is too late, the King of Kings restoration of Nanjing and no longer needs us. It will be difficult for us to enter the court to participate in the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, it will not affect the court's tax collection on Jiangnan, and it will even be liquidated by the court, causing disasters. At this time, the time is right! I look at the current situation, the court can already fight against the Qing court, have the strength to protect us, and not be slaughtered by the Qing army, and can ensure safety after joining. Before the court came to Nanjing, if we work hard to help the court recover Jinling, we will be rewarded. Everyone will have the opportunity to enter the court to watch, display their ambitions, and seek welfare for the gentry and the people in the southeast."

Under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, many gentry were worried every day, afraid that they would be suddenly confiscated by the Qing army, exiled to the army, and even lost their heads.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Southeast gentry had a political protection umbrella in the court. No official dared to arrest the gentry in Jiangnan casually. Even the Jinyiwei spies could not arrest people casually. The Southeast gentry lived a very comfortable life, and even against the government, they could be settled by the protection umbrella.

After Jiangnan was ruled by the Qing army, this comfortable life ended. They had no right to speak in the Qing court and had no political protection umbrellas, and ordinary Qing officials could kill them.

In recent years, the anti-Qing Dynasty in Jiangnan has been on the rise and fall, and there are inevitably no acquaintances involved. The Qing Dynasty, regardless of whether they are involved or not, will give you a jail, and then make a cunning move, and some even die because of this.

In contrast, everyone naturally missed the Ming Dynasty, and was ruled by the Qing Dynasty, which made them feel fearful every moment and insecure.

After hearing Qian Qianyi's words, everyone was silent for a while. After a while, one sighed: "Mr. Muzhai's words are reasonable. We actually hope that the court can win. But Muzhai, how can we determine that now is the best time?"

Although they lived in fear every day under the Qing Dynasty, it was better to be alive than to be defeated or died.

Liu Rushi just spoke up and ridiculed everyone, thinking that everyone would be touched and had some masculine spirit, but the result made her very disappointed and indignant.

As men, these people have no blood at all. Compared with Mariser Zhao, they are really far behind them.

Liu Rushi knew Zhao Ming's experience very well and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that perhaps only Marshal Zhao could be called a man.

"In the Battle of Fujian, the Qing army sent 200,000 troops, and the Yi King Duoduo personally led the main force to Fujian, but almost all the troops were destroyed. This time, the Qing army dispatched another 300,000 to attack Huguang, but the result was that the court restored Hangzhou and killed Zhang Cunren, and the Jiannu battle failed again. Do you think how many troops the Qing court could mobilize and launch another battle?" Liu Rushi said: "This time the Qing army attacked Huguang with 300,000 people, and there were nearly 200,000 people fighting with the royal army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In this battle, Jiannu invested in troops, which was actually 500,000. He attacked Ming with a large army of 500,000, but he could not win. Do you think how many troops the Jiannu could organize to attack the court again?"

With the current manpower and material resources of the Qing court, organizing a war of 500,000 people can be said to have reached its limit.

This means that it is obviously unlikely that the Qing Dynasty will organize more troops to attack the Ming Dynasty.

This indicates that the situation between the Ming and Qing dynasties will truly enter a stalemate stage, or even enter the local counterattack stage of the Ming army.

Liu Rushi glanced at everyone without fear in his eyes, "With the current situation, you are still undecided and are not as good as a woman, so you will be ridiculed!"

"Hedong Jun, I believe you can see the situation clearly and make a decision. You don't need to be tempted by words!" Qian Qianyi reached out to stop Liu Rushi, and then looked at everyone and said, "I came from the camp of Zhao Dashui in the East China Sea. The king's army has already surrounded Wu Jin. You are all from Wu Jin. If Zhao Dashui conquered Wu Jin, how can you do it yourself? I will say this, please consider it carefully!"

After saying that, Qian Qianyi stood up and made a gesture to leave. Everyone was a little anxious when they saw this. They whispered to each other. A gentleman hurriedly reached out and said, "Muzhai, please wait, please teach Muzhai, and others. Yu and others are willing to follow Muzhai's stallion."

Liu Rushi supported Qian Qianyi and prepared to walk out of the lobby. When Qian Qianyi heard the words, he sat back again and smiled and said, "Okay! That's you, I'm not polite!"

Everyone stood up and bowed, "Mr. Muzhai asked for a speech."

"Everyone!" Qian Qianyi raised his voice and said loudly: "I think this is an excellent opportunity for our Southeast gentry to enter the court. Now the royal army counterattacks Jiangnan, and we are familiar with Jiangnan, and we have many relationships to use. If we can help the court recover lost territory, we will make great contributions, and we may enter the court as an official. Jiangnan's culture and education are at its peak. Since the past dynasties, the three Yuans are mostly from Jiangnan. We enter the court, reorganize Donglin, and devote ourselves to the management. It will take not many years to implement our governing strategy in the court."

Qian Qianyi means that now joining the Ming Dynasty camp and operating for a few years, the Southeast gentry will have the opportunity to control the government again and implement a strategy of governing the country that is beneficial to the Southeast.

After hearing this, everyone nodded, Qian Qianyi continued, "At present, I need to help the King's Army recover Wujin first. You are from Changzhou Prefecture. Can you use your relationship to find an internal support for the King's Army and cooperate with Zhao to seize Wujin County. If Wujin takes it, Su Songchang's three prefectures will be owned by the official army. Even if the Qing army reinforcements come, they will not be able to take them back, and everyone will be safe."

After hearing this, the gentry and merchants in the lobby stood up, "Muzhai, the Qiang General of the City, is my nephew, I can write a book."

Another person said: "I have ten shops in the city, with nearly a hundred men and guards, so I can listen."

"The official in the city is Yu's friend!"

Everyone said something, and almost everyone could tell a few friends and relatives in the city.

Qian Qianyi nodded slightly: "What matters are in the inner world, we should pay attention to confidentiality. You can choose one or two reliable people from it. If you participate more, you will easily reveal flaws!"
