Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 130
It's the last week before it's on the shelves, and the collection is bleak. It will be updated this Wednesday. I hope everyone can help to collect it.

As soon as Yang Chao walked away, Xiong Mingyu sighed.

"After all, you are young, and you don't know how to do things. Don't blame the old man. If you can do it, everything will be fine. If you can't, you can only ask for blessings."

As Xiong Mingyu thought about it, he felt a little guilty.

After Yang Chao walked out of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, he felt that his feet were still light. He had obtained such great power so easily.

Xiong Mingyu said that Yang Chao can transfer his own soldiers, and if he does well, it will be a great achievement, and he can seal that door.

But Yang Chao always felt that something was wrong there, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

I didn't have time to think about that, but concentrated on thinking about the scholar's problem. The scholar asked to punish Tian Wan, which was too difficult.

But scholars only have this one requirement. It can be said that they played their hole cards from the beginning, and there is no way out.

His experience in political struggle was still too poor, so Yang Chao never paid attention to this group of seemingly powerful scholars.

To deal with this group of scholars, Yang Chao has a lot of ways.

The reason why Yang Chao told Xiong Mingyu that he was only [-]% sure was because some methods were hard to tell.

In fact, in Yang Chao's opinion, he is [-]% certain. Scholars make trouble, and they can't go on forever. Even scholars actually have a desire to calm down. It's just that they are already riding a tiger at this time, and no one can just stop Yes, everyone has been kidnapped by 'Shi'.

What Yang Chao has to do is actually to guide this 'momentum', calm down the momentum, and let everyone have a step down.

The most famous among the scholars now are the four sons of Jinling: Maoxiang, Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi and Hou Fangyu.

Naturally, these four people's articles are romantic, and their family backgrounds are also first-class. These days, they all emphasize one background, so they can respond to everyone.

Among them, Maoxiang, with the word Pijiang, was born in the Maojia family of officials in Rugao City. It is said that the surname Mao came from the Mongolians. It can even be said that the Maojia was already a local prominent family in the Yuan Dynasty.

Mao Xiang was so talented that he published a collection of poems at the age of 14. It was not the arty graffiti work of a rich man like Jia Baoyu, because at that time Dong Qichang, a literary giant, wrote a preface to his collection of poems, and he was able to work for a big bureaucrat and a great writer like Dong Qichang. , It not only shows the literary background behind Maojia, but also shows that Maoxiang's talent is indeed extraordinary.

Among them, Chen Zhenhui was born in Yixing. His father was Chen Yuting, the leader of Donglin.

Therefore, Chen Zhenhui is also from a famous official family.

Among them, Fang Yizhi, with a secret character, was born in a family of officials and eunuchs. Fang Yizhi's grandfather was an official to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and his father was an official to the governor of Huguang.

Fang Yizhi is from Tongcheng, and the Tongcheng school was very famous in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Tongcheng can be said to be the trend of the literary world during this period. He has been fascinated since he was a child, and he is also talented and hardworking. Therefore, he is only 30 years old this year. Everyone.

Fang Yizhi's current status in the literary world is not low, but it is far behind the later generations. Fang Yizhi is famous for being an all-rounder in ancient literature, scientists, biology, chemistry, physics, etc. He is a rare love of nature in the Ming Dynasty. Science everyone.

Among them, Hou Fangyu, from Chaozong, was born in Shangqiu, Henan. Yes, the Hou family's family background is naturally first-class.

Hou Fangyu's literary talents are top-notch, and his romantic reputation is also top-notch. In later generations, he was honored as one of the three masters and four masters in the early Qing Dynasty, and he was regarded as one of the masters of prose. It became a well-known comedy "Peach Blossom Fan" and spread in the world.

Among the four sons, the character is actually decent. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, except for one Hou Fangyu who took the initiative to take the imperial examination of the Manchu Dynasty and finally became an official of the Manchu Dynasty, the other three were able to stay out of the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, the fourth son's ability to do things is far inferior to his fame, but this is also a common problem of ancient scholars. Their eyes are high and their hands are low, so it's empty words and lack of hard work, so they can't be completely blamed.

Because these four princes are outstanding in all aspects, they are famous among young scholars. This time the scholars "crowded" together, and the four princes quickly became the leaders among them. Among them, Mao Xiang led people to surround Zhen Fusi and Fang Yi Zhi led people to besiege the six yamen, Chen Zhenhui led people to besiege Yingtian Mansion, and Hou Fangyu led people to make trouble in Jiangnan County Yamen.

No one can do anything about these four people, because the scholar is too powerful, no one wants to take responsibility, and these four people have deep backgrounds, no one wants to mess with them.

But Yang Chao set his mind on these four people.

Yang Chao is still confident in dealing with these four scholars who usually only know how to study to exercise their literary talents, and only know how to go to brothels to gain a romantic reputation.

These four are the leaders of the scholars. Yang Chao does not believe that they have no purpose, but only for fame and fortune. Needless to say, fame, this time they lead the scholars to make trouble in the south of the Yangtze River. In the future, they will not only be the four sons of Jinling, but also They are well-known throughout the country; needless to say, they study, and they will definitely become officials in the future. Now they are leaders among scholars, and they will be leaders in the officialdom in the future. a solid capital.

If they want fame, Yang Chao will let them get it; if they want profit, Yang Chao will give them profit.

To put it bluntly, it is to buy them. In the scripts of later generations, there are often scenes in which reactionaries buy revolutionary comrades. However, this counter-revolutionary method is really effective. It is to break through from the inside. The strongest fortress is always broken from the inside.

After leaving the Ministry of War, Yang Chao went home first and found that Liu Rushi and the others were all there.

As soon as they met, Liu Ru could not help asking worriedly: "Is Mr. Yang doing well?"

Yang Chao nodded and said with a smile: "Miss Laoliu is concerned, and it's going well."

Then Liu Rushi asked how the situation was, whether the commotion would subside, etc.

Yang Chao said that the Minister of the Ministry of War fully supports him, and the matter will soon subside.

Liu Rushi said again: "I don't know how Mr. Yang should deal with the scholars?"

Yang Chao said: "Of course I threatened them and let them retreat on their own. Maybe they can be arrested."

Yang Chao didn't hide from Liu Rushi, because these famous prostitutes needed to take the lead in helping in this matter.

Yang Chao continued: "However, Miss Liu, please keep it secret for the time being. Don't let the scholars know at this time, otherwise they will have nothing to worry about. It's really too much trouble. I'm afraid it won't end in the end. If it can't be kind, it will hurt everyone. not good."

Liu Rushi nodded and said, "Young Master Yang, don't worry, the little girl will wake up!"

Yang Chao said again: "At this time, we still need to rely on Ms. Liu. Ms. Liu is willing to help."

Liu Rushi did his part and said: "This incident happened because of this, and it has put Mr. Yang and all the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River in danger. Naturally, the little girl can't stand by. If Mr. Yang is useful to the little girl, just ask him to do so."

Yang Chao nodded, if the famous courtesans in Nanjing could listen to him, they would be more confident.

Yang Chao immediately said: "So our first priority now is to praise the four young masters of Jinling and let them become the leaders of all young scholars."

Not only Liu Rushi was surprised, but other famous prostitutes were also surprised. Didn't they say that the scholar should retreat obediently? If that doesn't hurt the morale of the scholar, why would he want to promote the most famous fourth son among the scholars? Isn't this fueling the momentum of the scholar? Make it harder for them to back down.

It is true that both kindness and force are needed to quell the uproar of scholars, but intimidation is just intimidation, and it is impossible to use force. In the end, negotiations are still necessary.

If it is a negotiation, Yang Chao is not willing to negotiate with a large group of irrational scholars. These four people may be equally young and impulsive, but it is better to talk with four of them than with a group of people.

Just like the demolition of later generations, it is better to talk to a few people who can hold the scene than to talk to all the residents in a family. If you talk with each other, you may not be able to talk at all in the end.

So Yang Chao would only talk to the leaders, even if it was a bribe, it would be more feasible to buy a few leaders than to buy all the scholars.

But the problem now is that these four sons are only the leaders of the scholars in name, and they can't control the behavior of the scholars at all, so Yang Chao has to help them now, help them control the scholars, and make them actual leaders.

It is obvious that they want to deal with them, but they must first help them to make a name for themselves. To accomplish things, sometimes there is no shortcut, but you have to take the initiative to take detours.

Then I made an agreement with a few famous prostitutes, to help the fourth young master to make a name for himself, and to praise the fourth young master's reputation.

At the gathering of the four young masters, all the famous prostitutes took the initiative to join in the fun, cheering them on and helping him to publicize.

The famous courtesans in Nanjing are very good at doing this kind of thing. Even if these four young masters are mediocre, they can make them known to everyone in a short time. What's more, these four young masters still have some real talents. It's easier to give them a name.

He even took the initiative to invite the fourth son to go to parties in Meixiang Tower and Meilou Tower, making a big noise.

Yang Chao immediately returned to the barracks. This time, Xiong Mingyu promised him the power to act cheaply, but Xiong Mingyu said that he would not send troops because he was worried about losing control, and Yang Chao could understand.

Therefore, the soldiers Yang Chao can use are only a hundred or so of his own.

The training of my subordinates is very good, but it is no problem to let them fight Jiang bandits, but let them deal with a group of menacing scholars, and they can't beat or hurt the scholars, which has to make people sweat.

Without a detailed plan, it is simply impossible to achieve.

Therefore, Yang Chao planned to temporarily suspend the delivery and escort, and let everyone come back first. He would train them for a few days before he dared to let them go to the city to help quell the disturbance of the scholars.

So Yang Chao returned to the barracks overnight, and began to make plans.
