Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 326 Start first is stronger!
The butler of the Liu Mansion was even more horrified: "Master, think twice. This old slave is a poor man. If he dies, he will die. But if you are also buried in the sea of ​​fire, master, how do you know what the fool will do?"

After being said by the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, Liu Dashan couldn't help but glared at the housekeeper, and reprimanded him bitterly: "You grew up with the master and me, how can you not understand this? "

"It's true that Mr. Qian, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang are on the road, but how can we really do this when we are buried in a sea of ​​flames? You don't spare your life, master, I will spare my life!"

Butler Liu said with a sneer: "After all, it involves the master, isn't this old slave just concerned about it and making chaos—then the old slave will make arrangements when he turns around?"

Mr. Liu Dashan hummed, and ordered: "It's not about making arrangements later, but about making arrangements right away, whether it's about the Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master going to sea, or sending the three masters on the road, including the matter of us being buried in the sea of ​​fire, It has to be arranged immediately."

After the housekeeper bowed and answered, Liu Dashan continued to order: "By the way, your two sons are not young now, are they? Let them go to sea with the eldest and second young masters later."

The butler bowed and said, "Yes, this old slave is very grateful for your kindness."

Only then did Liu Dashan hum, and ordered: "Okay, let's go."

It's just that after the housekeeper returned to his yard and told the matter to the two sons, the two sons were not happy. The youngest son relied on being favored, and even opened up directly: "Why? Why should we The family has to be a slave to his Liu family from generation to generation?"

"Right now, all these troubles are caused by the Liu family himself. Now that the Liu family is going to go out to sea, why do they have to bring our family with them?"

"Father, I think your old man is also confused, and you don't even think about it, can Ottoman and that Holy Roman Empire be relied on?"

"Based on the way the Liu family has always behaved, it's almost as good as saying that they destroyed the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottomans. You still expect them to support the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottomans to the point where they can compete with Ming?"

The eldest son also said: "That's right, we stay in Daming now, even if the government takes action to liquidate us, we have to follow the rules of Daming law, and the Liu family is responsible for all these messes right now, our family just passed on If you run away with your words, you will not be guilty of death."

"But if you go to the Ottomans and the Holy Roman Empire, it is tantamount to giving up the household registration of Daming voluntarily-let's not talk about how precious the household registration of Daming is that those barbarians want to get it, let's just say that there is no more Daming household registration, do you think Daming will deal with us according to the laws of Daming?"

"If it really gets to that point, what awaits our family will be the disaster of destroying the family, completely destroying the family!"

The look on the housekeeper's face was uncertain, and it was not until after a long while that he sighed and said: "I also know that the master is wrong, but the Liu family... the Liu family treats our family very well!"

"Since the old lady, our family has been with the Liu family. The reason why you two can read and write is thanks to the old lady of the Liu family nodding. If we abandon the Liu family at this time, wouldn't we become ungrateful villains?"

Speaking of this, the housekeeper gritted his teeth again and said, "For my father's sake, this time you sent the eldest son and the second son out to sea, and settled them both. Shall we go back to Daming and surrender ourselves?"

The housekeeper's second son suddenly asked, "The friendship between master and servant? If I remember correctly, the grandfather once said that our family originally had land, but it was only in a disaster year that we sold the land. Gave it to the Liu family."

The housekeeper nodded and said, "That's right, it was the Liu family who bought our land back then that allowed your grandpa and the others to barely survive."

The second son sneered and said, "In all dynasties and dynasties, whenever there was a disaster, the government would help the people. Why didn't he help the people when he was in the Qing Dynasty?"

"My son recently read some books in the library in the city, and also looked through some county chronicles. Guess what I found?"

Without waiting for the steward to answer, the second son said to himself: "In the disaster year our family encountered, the Jianyi court originally allocated some silver to help the people, but it was lost for five years when it came out of the treasury. Cheng, after arriving in the province, [-]% is lost, and in the mansion, [-]% is lost, and after passing through the county, less than half of what is really used for disaster relief recently."

"The disaster relief money that could be used to buy brown rice, barely enough to keep the people alive, turned out to be unaffordable even for brown rice, and even the money for mixing bran was too much, so in the end, we had to mix sand into the bran. .”

"It just so happened that in that year, the Liu family's property suddenly increased, and they took advantage of the opportunity to acquire a lot of land. That's how they changed from a rich man in the countryside to a well-known benevolent person in all villages."

The butler's expression changed, and he asked, "Where did you know this!"

The housekeeper's second son sneered, and said, "If you want people to know, you have to do nothing—the Liu family thinks they're doing it without anyone noticing, but they don't want to leave any clues in the county chronicles."

"It's fine if it's still in the Qing Dynasty. After all, ordinary people can't see the county chronicles, but now it's in the Ming Dynasty. The county chronicles are placed in the library, and anyone who wants to see them can see them! "

"At this time, your old man still thinks that the Liu family is kind to our family?"

The butler slumped on the chair and murmured: "Impossible, impossible, the Liu family has always been kind, and our family is also thanks to the Liu family. Otherwise, your great-grandfather and grandfather would have starved to death long ago." Oh, you're talking nonsense, nonsense..."

The butler's second son snorted, but he didn't argue with the butler, instead he said to himself: "Also, I was originally a son of the Han family, but I was forced to shave my hair after Jianyi entered the customs. Clothes, I don’t know how many sons of the Han family want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, but he, the Liu family, is the only one who is determined to follow Jianyi, even giving his own daughter to Jianyi to play with."

"But, isn't it true that father has never heard of Datong, Jinan, Guangzhou, Sichuan, Jiangyin, Yangzhou...Jiading?"

A series of place names came out from the mouth of the steward's second son: "In the whole of Datong, there are only five survivors left, and the whole of Sichuan was slaughtered. Even if we are so small people, we don't remember this kind of blood feud, but his Liu family also Can not remember?"

The housekeeper was furious and shouted: "Nonsense! Sichuan was slaughtered by Zhang Xianzhong, so what does it have to do with the Qing Dynasty?"

The second son of the steward said: "Alright, since father is willing to believe that Sichuan was slaughtered by Zhang Xianzhong, then my son would like to ask you, old man, how many people did Zhang Xianzhong slaughter in Sichuan?"

The housekeeper said: "Sixty million!"

The second son of the butler laughed and asked, "Six hundred million? The Qing Dynasty has always had the saying of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong. However, under this so-called prosperous age, the population of the common people was only about [-] million. Where did the [-] million people come from?"

The butler was choked up immediately—if there were 60 million people in Sichuan, how many people would there be in Daming at that time? [-] billion?
If there are really 60 billion people, not to mention Jianyi entering the customs, even if one person spits fishy fish, it is enough to drown the Jianyi in Liaodong!
The housekeeper's second son continued: "Also, Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan to fight against the Qing army. How stupid must he be to slaughter the entire Sichuan? Keep the people of Sichuan and force them into strong men so that they can fight with the Qing army." The Qing army went to war, collected their taxes, and collected their food. Wouldn’t it be better than slaughtering the whole of Sichuan? If it were you, what would you do?”

"Also, Jianyi said that Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered Sichuan, but there are many temples of Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan. From the book, the inscription left by Zhang Xianzhong clearly states that all things are born with humans, humans have nothing with the sky, ghosts and gods are clear, and they think about themselves."

"Also, Jianyi said that Emperor Chongzhen had Qu killed Yuan Chonghuan back then, but his son looked through the books in the library, only to find that Yuan Chonghuan deceived the emperor and killed Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, with the theory of five years of Ping Liao. He secretly negotiated peace with Jianyi several times to transport food, causing Jianyi to bypass Xifengkou, knocking off the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen killed him, so what is wrong with him?"

"If you don't believe it, you can go to the library to read it yourself. Whether it is the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty, the historical materials of the Qing Dynasty, or the "Ming History" compiled by the Qing Dynasty, there are all in the library. You can compare them with each other. Watch."

"Then, you will find out how ridiculous "History of Ming Dynasty" is."

The butler wanted to argue, but in the end he just opened his mouth and remained silent.

The housekeeper's eldest son also persuaded: "It is true that you are loyal to the Liu family, and it is no big deal for me and my second brother to risk our lives to stay with you, but you have to think about your grandson, he is only one year old. Duo, just learned to walk, just learned to call grandpa, you have the heart to let him die with us?"

The housekeeper's second son went on to say: "If my father wants to speak of me as being loyal, then I would like to ask my father, is loyalty to the imperial court or loyalty to the Liu family, which is more important? Which is more important?"

After being persuaded by the two sons, the housekeeper immediately became confused.

If what the second son said was true, then the Liu family didn't have kindness to their own family, but hatred. What's even more ridiculous was that he was still loyal to consider the future for the enemy.

Suddenly, the butler realized that he was still not walking properly, so he walked towards him crookedly and called out to grandpa's little grandson...

After a long while of silence, the butler gritted his teeth and said, "Then according to what you two mean, we're not leaving?"

The two sons of the housekeeper looked at each other, and the eldest son said simply: "Why are we leaving? It's not right to leave a good person alone. Do we have to follow his Liu family to go overseas, and then continue to be a dog for his Liu family?"

The second son also said: "Of course we can't go, not only don't go, but also take the initiative - my son is willing to take care of everything on his own, so you can take care of the old man, and take care of the children at home. When the son comes out, let's reunite as a family."

The eldest son snorted coldly and said: "It's just nonsense! You don't even think about it, how old are you? What can you take care of? Even if you have to take care of it, you should do it for your brother, and it's not your turn." Little brat!"

Seeing his two sons vying to take responsibility for each other, the housekeeper was quite relieved, but at the same time couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"Shut up!"

The housekeeper scolded: "If you want to be questioned together, then you won't be able to get away. Have you thought about it?"

The housekeeper's two sons looked at each other again, and then replied in unison: "Think it over!"

The second son was impatient, so he directly said: "My son would rather stay in Daming, even if he is killed, it is better than going overseas with the Liu family and continuing to be a dog!"

The eldest son is more stable: "Although Daming still has the system of implicated persons, our family's matter is not implicated at all, and the imperial court may not take us seriously."

"The worst outcome is that the three of us, father and son, go on the road together. Hui Niang, Zhen Niang and the children in the family will not be implicated. Even if they can no longer be officials in the imperial examination or join the army, the land that should be assigned will not Less, there should be a homestead, and I can still study after all."

"These benefits alone are beyond the expectation of many barbarians. How can we expect more?"

Hearing what his two sons said, the housekeeper nodded and said, "Forget it, since you two brothers are determined not to leave, then let's not leave."

"It's just that this responsibility is not something you can take on if you want. After all, how many things do you know? If you want to take responsibility, you should also take it up on your father. If you two brothers are not implicated, you can take care of the family. If you don't If you are implicated, you just accept your fate."

Hearing what the steward said, the steward's two sons immediately became excited, and the second son even whispered: "As expected, my father is not really old and foolish, he is a man!"

The housekeeper's face darkened, and he was about to teach this unfilial son a lesson, but suddenly a feeling of reluctance surged in his heart.

After all, they have already come to this point, the father and son may go on the road together one day, and then they will teach them a lesson...

After sighing, the butler simply looked at the two sons and said, "Master also ordered me today to arrange for several families to have children and kill Master Qian, Master Li and Master Zhang. Now..."

The eldest son of the housekeeper snorted coldly and said, "Why do we still do such dirty things to his Liu family? Isn't this just asking for trouble for ourselves?"

"As the saying goes, it's better to strike first, and to suffer later. Since we have decided to stay in Daming and not leave, we might as well take the initiative to report to the government, and by the way, tell Master Qian, Master Li, Master Zhang and the others the news, so that we can be let They are prepared to avoid being poisoned by the Liu family."

However, after the butler's eldest son put forward his opinion, the butler shook his head and said, "How can it be so simple?
