Chapter 98 A Little Thing
Ma Mingfeng and his group first rode to Bazhou, met Yue Qijie and his wife, and told them all the secrets of the palace he heard in the capital. Yue Qijie slapped the table.
"A bastard, it's really a bastard. Even children don't believe in such things as the emperor possessed, let alone the king of a country? Our emperor is really confused!"
Speaking of this level, it was already quite bold. The little guard actually accused the emperor in public in public. If it were during the Hongwu period, Yue Qijie had 100 heads and moved.
However, Yue Qijie couldn't help but feel anger in his heart, and in front of him were his confidants and Ma Mingfeng's confidants, so nothing happened.
So when the two of them were in a bad mood while eating and drinking, they all drank too much. Ma Mingfeng was quite calm, but Yue Qijie scolded loudly, then cried loudly, and kept making trouble for the middle of the night before finally calming down.
However, Ma Mingfeng looked at Calm and was actually very depressed. Seeing that the capital was so prosperous, it would become a hell on earth in four years. First, the thieves came to kill people, set fire to rob things, and then the Qing people rushed over. In this way, the capital suffered war again. This ancient city with nearly three hundred years of prosperity suffered many wars within a year and was under heavy burdens that should not be borne.
How many innocent people died in these two wars? How many property losses have the people suffered? These are incalculable.
With the fall of the capital, the entire north would sink under the cavalry of the Qing people, and China suffered the second great humiliation since the Jingkang Incident.
"But I really have no way to do this. The current situation is simply hard to save even the gods. The situation in the north is full of holes and cannot be compensated at all. I can only use the swords of the thieves and the Qing people to kill those corrupt officials and the borers of the people, and use the establishment of the Southern Ming Dynasty to make a major change in the new regime, thus giving hope to this era."
"But the people are so innocent? They have become victims of power and ambitions, and have suffered from war and disasters. How many families have separated? How many people have died in war? How many tragedies are happening? A prosperous city, an era of peace, and a generation of people who should have been bathed in the sunshine of peace, but who is paying for a corrupt dynasty that is terminally ill and unhelpful. Whose misfortune is this?"
"..." Ma Mingfeng sat in the guest room, muttering to himself softly, with a bitter expression on his face.
"Brother, it's getting late, so let's take a break early." Yu Zhenlong's voice came from outside the window. From the beginning, he saw that Ma Mingfeng's expression was a little wrong, and he felt a little worried. He stood outside the window and listened for a while. Ma Mingfeng was in a depressed mood because he drank wine, so he didn't notice anyone outside at all.
Ma Mingfeng opened the door and asked Yu Zhenlong to come in, briefly said his disappointment with the court, and said bitterly: "The emperor was suspicious and incompetent, the cabinet was stupid and had no achievements. The officials had nothing else except fame and fortune. How many people really had a relationship with the people of the world and were concerned about the safety of the Ming Dynasty? But don't those officials know that once the thief reaches the capital, they will not have a good end?"
Yu Zhenlong patted Ma Mingfeng on the shoulder and said softly: "I have heard what you said. In fact, the accumulated problems of the Ming Dynasty have not been there for a day or two. Why did Lord Lu die? Why could Mr. Yang retaliate against the dignified governor? Why can the thieves and the thieves resurrected again and again? Why can Dorgon break into our country, kill and loot, but our dynasty have no choice? This is just as you said, the Ming Dynasty is now sick and ostracized.
It is hard to save the gods of the dynasty. I was originally disappointed with what you said about the court and hoped to establish the Nanming incident. Later, I reflected on it and felt that it would be a good idea to kill those treacherous people with the help of the swords in the hands of the treacherous people and the Qing people. Don’t worry, from now on, you are not fighting alone. My brothers and I will help you. We will do our best to support you. What we are loyal to is not the emperor, not the court, but the whole world!”
When Ma Mingfeng heard what Yu Zhenlong said, he felt a little uncomfortable. At least someone could understand and support what he did, especially his sworn brother Yu Zhenlong and his brothers.
In fact, before, even though Yu Zhenlong was a sworn brother, Ma Mingfeng could not guarantee that the other party would always support him, especially when his intention to give up the Northern Ming Dynasty and prepare to establish the Southern Ming Dynasty was exposed, Ma Mingfeng could not guarantee that Yu Zhenlong and others would turn around and leave at that time. Even Ma Mingfeng felt that those people just left without exposing or even arresting him, so he took good care of himself.
Now Yu Zhenlong's statement gave him a little comfort in his heart, because he has since had a small team that sincerely supports him!
This should be Ma Mingfeng’s biggest gain today.
The next morning, Yue Qijie was still sleeping soundly, but his wife had already picked up her up: "Luan'er is leaving, get up and see him off quickly."
Yue Qijie was immediately excited when he heard this, and quickly got up to wash up, and then followed his wife to see Ma Mingfeng.
Ma Mingfeng had actually been waiting outside for a while, but this was a close relative after all, and Ma Mingfeng didn't feel that it was hard work. When Yue Qijie came out and blamed him for leaving so quickly, Ma Mingfeng was embarrassed to say that he was eager to fool others, so he could only say that there was a good friend in Tianjin still waiting for him.
The group said a few words before leaving. When Ma Mingfeng was about to leave, he suddenly said to Yue Qijie: "Uncle, I want to ask you something, but I don't know whether it should be said or not?"
But when Yue Qijie saw him, he said impatiently, "You are talking nonsense. What's the relationship between us? What's wrong with talking about? Just say it directly."
Ma Mingfeng laughed and said, "That's the case. I have a friend in Tianjin now, but he will probably leave with me in the future, so there will be no one to take care of his family. So I want to recommend his family to come to you for a living. Please help take care of him. If your uncle is transferred in the future, you must think about taking them away."
When Yue Qijie heard this, he laughed and said, "So it's such a small matter. What's wrong with this? Don't worry, as long as someone reports your name in the future, I will definitely take good care of them. If transferred in the future, I will definitely take them away. Is that okay?"
