Although Zhao Fuxiang does not know the history, according to his analysis of officialdom experience, Ma Shiying's alliance with the military to support Zhu Yousong was meritorious, but as long as Zhu Yousong was not stupid, he would not be able to give all the government affairs to Ma Shiying after he came to power. If Ma Shiying had military power and political power, wouldn't the emperor change his position? Did you, Ma Shiying, do it? This is true in history. Zhu Yousong was not the idiot emperor recorded in later history. He still had some sense. Under his operation, Ma Shiying was in charge of the army and the Donglin Party was in charge of the government, but the final decision-making power was not In the hands of his emperor.

What Zhao Fuxiang said is quite accurate. Historically, after Zhu Yousong came to the throne, he indeed recalled Shen Youlong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, to serve as the Minister of War, and Qian Qianyi did become the Minister of Rites. Donglin Party members Lu Daqi, Gao Hongtu, Qian Qianyi, and Zhang Shenyan, Jiang Yueguang and others occupied high positions one after another. On the contrary, Ma Shiying, who supported Zhu Yousong's rise to power, was squeezed out of the core power circle.

If this kind of political allocation is given to Zhu Yousong for two or three years, internal conflicts can be unified, and Jiangnan's financial resources and infinite human advantages can be relied on, even if it is impossible to conquer the Central Plains in the north and revive the Ming Dynasty, it will not be a problem to separate the south of the Yangtze River and extend the life of the Southern Ming Dynasty for more than a hundred years. But the Qing Dynasty Zhu Yousong was not given this time. In the first month of the second year, he sent troops south to start the unification war. The Southern Ming Dynasty was in chaos, and the four towns in Jiangbei were fighting each other. At this time, even if Zhu Yousong's ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, he had no choice but to leave. Escape from Nanjing.

Combining the history he knew and his understanding of officialdom, Zhao Fuxiang came to a conclusion that was almost inseparable from reality. The deceived Mao Jiao was stunned for a moment.

Mao Jiao knew about the relationship between Zhao Fuxiang and Zhang Wenming, but Zhang Wenming was only a fringe figure of the Donglin Party. How could he know about this kind of court conspiracy? So Mao Jiao was dubious about Zhao Fuxiang's words and asked: "Brother Zhao, what you said is true. Fake?"

How could Zhao Fuxiang tell him the truth? Then he deceived: "Master Mao, of course it is true. My elder brother Zhang Wenming's teacher is Huang Daozhou. A few days ago, the teacher has sent a letter to my elder brother, saying that he will resume his duties as a civil servant in the near future. Minister, at the same time, the information was revealed in the letter. Even if Master Mao doesn’t believe what I said, what Mr. Shi Zhai said can’t be a lie, right?”

Huang Daozhou was an extremely upright man, and the posthumous title Zhongduan given to him by the Ming Dynasty just showed that he was a loyal and upright man. Mao Jiao had also heard about the character of Mr. Shi Zhai for a long time, and now he heard Zhao Fuxiang mention the name of Huang Daozhou , and gradually came to believe Zhao Fuxiang’s deception.

Mao Jiao was a little moved by what Zhao Fuxiang said. In addition to avenging his son, the property accumulated by the Zhang family for more than two hundred years also made him jealous. Mao Jiao hesitated for a moment and asked: "Brother Zhao, even if what you said is true Really, but what crime is used to clean up the Zhang family? You must know that colluding with pirates is not a big crime!"

Zhao Fuxiang chuckled and said: "Master Mao, this is simple. It happened that not long after the incident with the White Lotus Sect, we said that the Zhang family believes in the White Lotus Sect and is the backstage boss of the Boat Gang. They are preparing to start a rebellion in Qiongzhou and establish a new dynasty!"

In fact, Zhao Fuxiang wanted to reveal that the Zhang family was the descendant of Zhang Shicheng, and framed Zhang Guozheng for preparing to reestablish the Zhou regime while the court was busy suppressing civil strife. However, when Zhao Fuxiang said this, he remembered that he was also registered in Zhang. When the family settled down, they settled in the name of relatives from overseas. If the secrets of the Zhang family were revealed, it would be a serious crime against the nine tribes. Wouldn't my own nine tribes be among them?

So Zhao Fuxiang quickly changed his excuse and falsely accused the Zhang family of being the White Lotus traitors. It was all false anyway. As long as he could explain it to the past, any reason would be fine.

When Mao Jiao heard this reason, he could not curse out loud. He said angrily: "Brother Zhao, you are so good at it! It's no problem to use this kind of reason to mess with the unlucky guys of the Boat Gang, but the Zhang family is in the early days of the Republic of China."

Hereditary to thousands of families, the old man Zhang Guozheng fought for the country and was highly respected. This reason is not enough to convince him.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Everyone! And the White Lotus Sect appears continuously in Qiongzhou Prefecture. Doesn’t it make the superiors think that the local officials are not strict in their governance? In this way, you have deceived the magistrate and Tongzhi!"

Zhao Fuxiang doesn't care about the prefect Zhou and his fellow magistrate Cai at all, but Zhao Fuxiang thinks that his family will develop in Qiongzhou in the next few years. At least the Shilu Iron Mine needs to be developed. This requires the full cooperation of the local officials. If the two adults

Unfortunately, he was replaced, and the new officials had to work hard to win over him, which was really not worth the gain.

Zhao Fuxiang thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, Master Mao will have to work hard. Master Mao inspected Haikou and found that the Zhang family colluded with pirates for evil intentions. After the Zhang family's conspiracy went bankrupt, they attempted to assassinate Master Mao. However, Master Mao led his troops to suppress it. The entire Zhang family

Died in the rebel army! Mr. Mao, what do you think of this crime?"

Mao Jiao was so angry after hearing this. How did he get it on his head?

"Brother Zhao, I don't care what conflicts you have with the Zhang family, but if you want me to take risks for you, I won't do it!"

Zhao Fuxiang said seductively: "Master Mao, after the matter is completed, I don't want a penny of the Zhang family's property. Except for the Zhang family's few shops at the port, all other real estate, real estate, and silver will belong to Master Mao. How about that?"

The Zhang family's accumulation of more than two hundred years is not a small amount. Mao Jiao is indeed a little moved, but he knows that the Zhang family's one hundred servants are not easy to deal with. If he is unlucky and gets killed, who will he talk to for explanation?

Zhao Fuxiang saw Mao Jiao's hesitation and knew that this guy was afraid of death, so he went on to say: "Master Mao, don't worry, we can use this reason to report to the governor's office of Guangdong and Guangxi, but Master Mao can find any reason to lure the Zhang family and his son out of the city.

Wouldn’t it be enough to kill them on the roadside?”

This is a way. Mao Jiaojiao nodded and asked: "What about the Zhang family's hundred servants? Most of them have fought against Zhang Guozheng, but they are all hard-fought!"

Zhao Fuxiang chuckled and said: "It's simple. I have bribed Zhang Rong, a hundred households in Haikou. As long as Mr. Mao nods, Zhang Rong will take care of those one hundred servants!"

Zhang Rong? Even though Mao Jiao had fifty or sixty people in one hundred households, he still knew that Zhang Rong had married into the Zhang family. Mao Jiao asked, "Is Zhang Rong the son-in-law who married into the Zhang family back then?"

"Yes, that's the son-in-law who came to the door. This guy has some objections to the Zhang family's use of methods to persuade him. As long as Master Mao nods, Zhang Rong will definitely follow Master Mao. However, Zhang Rong said that in the future, he will be the one to hold the post for thousands of households in Haikou!"

After Zhao Fuxiang finished speaking, he was afraid that Mao Jiao would not agree, and then said: "Zhang Rong said that he is willing to dedicate all the Zhang family's property to Master Mao!"

After hearing this, Mao Jiao frowned and said: "Since Zhang Rong married into the Zhang family, he is qualified to hold the position of Qianhu, but the position of Qianhu in Haikou is important, and I can't make the decision. I have to report it to the Governor's Yamen!"

Zhao Fuxiang heard that this matter was simple. Shen Youlong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was the same year as Huang Daozhou. This matter is not a matter of one sentence. So Zhao Fuxiang promised: "Please rest assured, Mr. Mao, I will take care of the governor's office!"

Mao Jiao knew about Zhao Fuxiang's relationship with the Donglin Party, so it was not surprising to hear what he said. Mao Jiao considered that he had nothing to lose and could still get the Zhang family's wealth, so he nodded and said: "Okay, Brother Zhao let Zhang Rong

Come in and let me see if he has the guts to do this!"

Zhang Rong was outside the door. Zhao Fuxiang went out and called Zhang Rong in. After Zhang Rong entered the room, he knelt on the ground and shouted to the commander-in-chief!

Seeing Zhang Rong being respectful to Mao Jiao, Zhao Fuxiang secretly cursed in his heart that he was so damn good at pretending that Mao Jiao, a commander of a military division, actually called himself the commander-in-chief. It was really a monkey calling the king when the tiger was not at home!

Mao Jiao did not speak, but motioned to Zhao Fuxiang to ask. Zhao Fuxiang had no choice but to say: "Zhang Rong, Mr. Mao found out that Zhang Chengde's thousands of households

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

He colluded with pirates and went ashore to rob people, so he is ready to be punished according to the law. Are you willing to help Master Mao investigate Zhang Chengde?"

When Zhang Rong heard this, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "Commander, although this subordinate is the son-in-law of the Zhang family, he is also a subordinate of the Lord and an officer of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, everything will be obeyed by the Commander-in-Chief!"

After hearing what Zhang Rong said, Mao Jiao opened his mouth and said, "But I heard that Zhang Chengde's one hundred servants have some abilities. Can you subdue them?"

Zhang Rong said: "Commander, please rest assured. Most of the one hundred servants are my old friends in the army. As long as the commander gives his subordinates military orders, my subordinates guarantee that they will not have any problems!"

Mao Jiao nodded repeatedly: "Okay, you go back and wait for orders. I will inform you before taking action!"

After Mao Jiao finished speaking, he thought about it and thought that he should give Zhao Fuxiang a favor. After all, this guy gave him such a big gift, and his son would still be on the island for half a year. Thinking of this, Mao Jiao continued: "As for the Qianhu position vacated by Zhang Chengde

, Zhao Fuxiang recommended you just now, are you capable of taking the role?"

Zhang Rong was aiming for this thousand-household position. Hearing what Mao Jiao said, he quickly kowtowed and said, "Commander, please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely live up to the high expectations of the commander!"

After Zhang Rong finished speaking, he kowtowed to Zhao Fuxiang and said, "Mr. Zhao, Zhang Rong will never forget this kindness!"

Zhao Fuxiang secretly scolded Mao Jiao that this guy was really good at doing favors. He was embarrassed to put on small shoes for his son. Zhao Fuxiang smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, please get up quickly. If Zhao has something to trouble Brother Zhang in the future, please invite Zhang."

Brother, don’t refuse!”

Zhang Ronglian said he didn't dare. Now that his matter was over, he only had to wait for Mao Jiao's notification, so Zhang Rong quickly left the room, leaving only Zhao Fuxiang and Mao Jiao in the room!

Watching Zhang Rong go out, Mao Jiao said: "Brother Zhao, now we need to take the last step, which is to trouble Brother Zhao to ask the Jin Yiwei to come forward as a witness!"

Zhao Fuxiang was stunned, why did the Jin Yiwei need to take part in military affairs? After listening to Mao Jiao's explanation of the rules of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Fuxiang understood that the local Jin Yiwei had a system of monitoring local guards.

The Jinyi Guards were originally an army, but everyone remembered that they were the emperor's spies, forgetting that they were also one of the emperor's personal troops, and there was no essential difference from those local guards.

Mao Jiao sighed and said: "Brother Zhao, Zhao Mengguan, our Jinyiwei Hundred Household in Qiongzhou Prefecture, was transferred just a year ago. I am really not familiar with him. If we want the Governor's Yamen to accept the fact that we will kill first and then report it, the Jinyiwei must come out and endorse us."

OK!"

Zhao Fuxiang thought it was a big deal and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Mao, I will take care of Jin Yiwei's affairs. I will go find Zhao Baihu tomorrow. I will definitely not delay Lord Mao's plan!"

Mao Jiao was stunned when he heard Zhao Fuxiang's affirmation. If Zhao Fuxiang had contact with civil servants, he believed it. After all, Zhao Fuxiang had a relationship with the Donglin Party, but how come this fat guy still had contact with the factory guards? Mao Jiao was even a little scared after hearing what Zhao Fuxiang said.

, I’m worried that if I say anything too much and this guy reports it to Jin Yiwei, it’ll be over.

Zhao Fuxiang could see Mao Jiao's worry, patted Mao Jiao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Mao, don't worry! I know how to deal with you and my brothers, and I will be careful with Jin Yiwei!"

Zhao Fuxiang's unkind words made Mao Jiao even more frightened. He now deeply regretted ordering his subordinates to treat Zhao Fuxiang badly. Thinking of this, Mao Jiao did not dare to stay in Zhao's house. After agreeing on a time with Zhao Fuxiang, he hurriedly ran away with his people.

.

Seeing Mao Jiao's leaving figure, Zhao Fuxiang thought in his mind: Since this guy is so afraid of Jin Yiwei, why not join forces with Jin Yiwei to make him spit out some good things about the Zhang family? After all, seeing such a big piece of fat go into Mao Jiao's mouth, Zhao Fuxiang

I feel really sad!
