h2>Chapter 473 Secret talk

When the army enters the city, the most nervous and uneasy person is not Zhu Dadian, but the eunuch Han Zanzhou, the governor of Nanjing, and Xu Hongji, Xu, the grandfather of Wei. Both of them have military power, especially Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei. They are well aware of the corruption of the Nanjing army, and they also know that no matter where Chen Xie goes, the army will follow. Moreover, when they are in Shandong, Chen Xie also started with the army first.

The most critical reason is that Emperor Zhu Youjian had the desire to rectify the army. Previously, after Chen Xie reorganized the army in Xiangyang, the army with worrying combat power before was not said to have doubled its combat power, and it is definitely possible to have increased by half.

Once Chen Xie takes advantage of the reason for reorganizing the army and rectifies the garrison in Nanjing, many problems will be exposed. There are not many troops entering the city in Dengzhou Camp, but only 500 cavalrymen, and the rest are left outside the city. But everyone knows that with this army outside the city, Chen Xie has enough confidence no matter what he does.

The Duke of Wei's Mansion was full of visitors, and all the people came to Nanjing. The general, commander, etc. Wuyang and Wuyang followed one after another. Xu Hongji, the old fox, came and greeted the other with a smile. Regarding the hints of these generals, he hoped that he would come out to deal with Chen Xie's suggestions on behalf of everyone. He did not say good or bad. He answered all the questions: "This depends on the court's meaning."

As one of the shareholders of the Nanjing branch of the money shop and one of the beneficiaries of the Jiangnan American goods market, Xu Hongji has a complicated mentality about Chen Xie. On the one hand, he has to consider the huge family interests, and on the other hand, he is worried that Chen Xie will really go to the army, leading to a conflict between Chen Xie and Zhao Zhilong, the Nanjing garrison minister. In other words, it is not Xu Hongji who actually holds military power in Nanjing, but he is just pushing him to be a figure in front of him. Therefore, the things that others come to him and ask him to stand out are basically trying to use his identity as a duke, which is not a good intention. Xu Hongji is worried that it is difficult to be a human being in the middle.

Xu Hongji really wanted to know what Chen Xie wanted to do, so he invited him not to pay much money. (Note: Xu Hongji was in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, so he used it like that.)

Qian Buduo’s current identity is very special. The owner of Dafa Money Bank Nanjing Branch is his superficial identity. In fact, he is also the general agent of American goods in Jiangnan. He is definitely not the most powerful person in Nanjing, but he is definitely one of the richest people in Nanjing.

The people sent by Xu Hongji did not invite much money because he was invited by others. The person who invited him was Zhao Zhilong, the leader of Xincheng, who was the hero of Nanjing. The hero of the army actually controlled Nanjing.

When talking about Zhao Zhilong, Wu Weiye's "Lu Qiao Jiwen" records: "Guiyi, the civil and military gathering meetings, and there was no words to establish the king; the Imperial Academy Xu Yu visited Zhao Zhilong and asked the prince to ascend the throne, and Zhilong was killed. That night, King Yu arrived in Jiangning and camped in the Temple of Heaven. Bingshen, the dragon led the ministers to surrender." This is a record in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, which means that after Emperor Hongguang escaped from Nanjing, he decided to open the city and surrender.

In contrast, another one, Han Zanzhou, the eunuch in Nanjing who held certain power, chose to commit suicide.

Qian Buduo knew that Chen Xie came from Suzhou, but he didn't know what Chen Xie wanted to do after he came. Zhao Zhilong invited Wuduo to visit, but naturally he didn't know about it. Although he was very upset, Zhao Zhilong still didn't dare to show his face. Qian Buduo left and rushed to the Governor's Headquarters. As a result, he arrived at the door and was blocked by Han Shan and said: No guests will be seen within three days.

Even if the money is not much, others can imagine it. Chen Xie rested quietly in the Governor's headquarters for three days, but he was not at all calm outside. As the capital of Liudu, Nanjing has a sound six ministries, and the officials here have become "Liyin". In fact, the status is not low, but they just have no rights. What many officials of the Six ministries in Nanjing want to be summoned by the capital. With the calmness of Liaodong and the changes in the Central Plains pattern, the position of the capital has become more and more attractive.

So within these three days, Chen Xie received a few sacks of greetings. Chen Xie's recovery of these greetings was all about the princess. "I was exhausted by the boat and the car, and I was sick and had no intention of meeting guests. When the princess recovered, I prepared a banquet to thank him."

It was a little disappointed that the money was blocked. This was the first time I got on the carriage with anxiety. When I saw someone sitting inside, I was so scared. I blurted out: "Sihua, how did you get up?"

Chen Xie smiled and said, "Isn't it too easy to do some small movements at my house? Let's find a quiet place. Let's talk about the past well." Qian Buduoyi's heart returned to his original position and said, "It's all my wish!"

The house with little money was on the Qinhuai River, a big house with five entry. The carriage did not go to his big house, but went to another place, a three entry yard next to the old courtyard. The carriage drove directly into the middle gate. The carriage got off first, and a middle-aged woman in costume was greeting him outside.

"My grandma Li's family, is it convenient for you to have a distinguished guest?" After asking this, she naturally asked if there were any guests. The woman said after hearing this, "What distinguished guest? You are a wealthy person, and unless you bring Chen Sihua, it will be inconvenient."

The expression of money is very strange. Look at Li Zhenli and said, "You should set up a fortune telling stall at Confucius Temple."

It was Li Zhenli's turn to have a wrong expression. Looking at one of the feet that stretched out from the carriage and Chen Xie's faint smile, she couldn't even separate her eyes and said repeatedly: "What a distinguished guest, what a distinguished guest."

It was afternoon, so there were naturally no guests at this point. Li Zhenli stepped forward and said deeply: "I never thought that Mr. Sihua was here. The humble house was full of glory. How lucky is I to be."

Chen Xie waved his hand and smiled, "Don't be so polite, they are all old friends. I borrow your place and tell me something about old money."

"Please, I'll ask someone to prepare wine and food." Li Zhenli quickly let him in. Chen Xie, who was behind closed doors to thank the guests, quietly came out to see Li Xiang (Li Xiangjun). Just this gimmick was enough for Li Xiang to become famous.

The yard behind was indeed quiet. Li Zhenli asked the door to close and thank the guests. She asked the two to sit down and talk and prepare food and other things by themselves. Before leaving, she said specifically: "Mr. Sihua, the name of his little girl, Mr. Jiumu, can you meet him?"

Qian Buduo smiled and said, "Miss Li Xiang is coming, so it is naturally welcome. Today I am thanking Sihua for her blessing, otherwise it would be not easy to see the incense fan." Li Zhenli said with a blank look on his eyes: "You former official stretched out, and what else does it have except the smell of copper? Xiang'er doesn't want to see you, so I can't do anything."

"Short body, beautiful skin, beautiful and beautiful, and wise, and joking Wushuang." This is a record in "Banqiao Miscellaneous Notes". The phrase "Funting Wushuang" shows that she is a very straight-mouthed person. Soon, the two of them had just had tea. A girl with light makeup and plain clothes and low figure came in. Shi Ran said, "Li Xiang has met Mr. Sihua." As for the lack of money, she directly ignored him and acted as if he did not exist. Lao Qian winked and coughed repeatedly, but she smiled and said, "I have seen you, what a big meat mountain." Lao Qian was squeezed and said, "I was so fucking with you." Lao Qian was squeezed and sighed: "I love to be pretty, and the ancients are sincere. I don't deceive me."

After hearing this, Li Xiang turned her eyebrows and ignored him. She stood up and said, "Mr. Sihua, what song do you want to listen to today?"

Li Xiangjun is well known because of the peach blossom fan. People remember this heroic woman and how unconventional the guy named Hou Chaozong was. Chen Xie knew about this woman and planned to come here to talk about things today, but he never thought that Lao Qian brought him this place. Since he was here, let's be calm.

"Miss Li, I am here today, not talking about the romantic things. I don't talk about poetry, but I talk about some things related to money. When it comes to listening to music, you can choose someone who is good at playing it." Chen Xie's attitude was very casual, without any airs of a governor, and without any intention of being flattering, just like an ordinary guest.

"Okay, I'm talking about things. I'm just serving tea next to me. I just pretend that I didn't hear anything, and I've never come." Li Xiang also felt curious when he heard this. He wanted to hear that Chen Sihua, who is famous all over the world, has always been a very complex polyhedron in the mouths of everyone. On the one hand, he was a talented literati, but he did not participate in the imperial examination to gain fame, but instead embarked on the path of military generals. On the path of military generals, Chen Xie was different from other military generals. He never failed in both external and internal wars. The army he trained with one hand was called the contemporary "Yue Family Army". But such a person is known as a star among the people. Whether it is Jiannu, a thief, or even a scum among officers and soldiers, he killed everyone.

Chen Xie looked at her faintly, thinking that this was a smart woman, and casually said, "Okay, then stay."

The room was quiet, and Chen Xie did not have the habit of talking loudly, and said in a plain tone: "Old Qian, this time I came with Your Majesty's will. Governor Jiangnan is not an easy job. On the one hand, we must rectify the army in Nanjing, improve combat effectiveness, and reduce military expenditures. On the other hand, we must try to find a solution to the financial difficulties for the Ming Dynasty. For the military, let go first. Financial problems are the key. Without money, you can't do anything. After you go back, contact some merchants with good relationships. In a few days, Ming Pao will publish some news last time, and everyone is ready to cater to it."

Qian Buduo said curiously: "Can you tell me a little more specific?" Chen Xie nodded and said: "The specific thing is that Your Majesty authorizes me to establish a consulting bureau system in Jiangnan. The rights of the consulting bureau are very wide, but they only have the right to supervise. After becoming a member of parliament, you can obtain corresponding social status. The specific membership is mainly concentrated in industry and commerce." r1152
