Qian Qianyi, one of the leaders of the Donglin Party in Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture, served as the Minister of Rites. Later, the Jiuzhou Army intended to lead Li Zicheng to destroy the gentry pattern in the north. Before the fall of the capital, Qian Qianyi and some colleagues spent all their money and fled from the capital to Nanjing on the ship of the Jiuzhou Army, and they were lucky. Later, they supported the new emperor in Nanjing. After only a few months, they were defeated by the Jiuzhou Army's army's army from sea to Nanjing. They were idle at home.

Even so, his house was still crowded with many scholars and celebrities, becoming representatives of the old scholars. All scholars who were dissatisfied with the new policies of the Jiuzhou Army regarded him as the last guardian.

"Old Qian, why hasn't the Emperor agreed to the revenge yet? We have been planning for several months. I have bribed some subordinates and waited for His Majesty to respond. I raised an army in Suzhou and then planned Nanjing City." A big man wearing the officer's uniform of the Jiuzhou Army said to Qian Qianyi, "In addition to us, there are hundreds of thousands of royal relatives, who are also waiting for the news."

"His Majesty the Emperor was detained in Liaodong by the Jiuzhou Army for a long time, which was the place where the Jiuzhou Army rose up. He would inevitably be bewitched by the Jiuzhou Army's thoughts." Qian Qianyi sighed.

"If it really doesn't work, it's better for us to not want this emperor, just create a new emperor. I think King Zhu Huakui of Chu is very suitable." The officer said.

"The King of Chu is extremely greedy for money, and money is piled up in the mansion. It is said that when the Jiuzhou Army seized the Chu Palace, millions of taels of gold and silver were seized from the Chu Palace. For such a person, the Jiuzhou Army thought that he had killed him and dirty his hands, how could he be the emperor?" Qian Qianyi frowned slightly when he heard that the other party wanted to raise an uprising under the flag of the King of Chu.

"The King of Chu is not good, both the King of Tang and Gui are okay." The officer of the Jiuzhou Army said impatiently, "Which royal family, who is not extremely responsible for money among the people, all we need is a big banner. I heard that the leader of the Jiuzhou Army Chu Yun has arrived in Nanjing City, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we can raise an army to surround Nanjing City at this time, we may not have the opportunity to break through Nanjing City and capture Chu Yun alive. Then there will be hope of restoring the Ming Dynasty."

"How can we be so rash when establishing an emperor? Moreover, our wings are not yet full, and it will be useless to rush up." Qian Qianyi said.

"So Mr. Qian, when will we delay? Will we wait until the intelligence leader of the Jiuzhou Army comes to visit before we raise the anti-flag flag?" said the officer of the Jiuzhou Army.

"In another three days, the Huqiu Conference organized by the Jiangnan Fushe Society. At that time, dozens of clubs in the Jiangnan area will gather together to discuss the restoration of the eight-legged essay. I plan to use this conference to unite with Jiangnan Shilin to increase our influence. At that time, I will respond to the response and resist the Jiuzhou Army together, which will make it easier to cause trouble." Qian Qianyi said, "General Zuo, what do you think?"

"This general sounds really harsh." The officer of the Jiuzhou Army said, "Before surrendering to the Jiuzhou Army, I went south to Xiangyang and had 100,000 troops. Although I was defeated by the Jiuzhou Army in the battle of Xiangyang and was defeated and captured. However, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Chen Qiyu and others who were at the same time as me were highly valued. Even Sun Chuanting and Cao Bianjiao became brigade commanders and commanders of the corps. And I, a person who had commanded 100,000 troops, was a small general. The general of the Jiuzhou Army was completely different from the general of the Ming Dynasty. The general of the Ming Dynasty held military power, but the general of the Jiuzhou Army was the local general. The official position they gave me was the general of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, but in fact they were just the general of the general of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Maintaining public order, they treated very differently from those Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Chen Qiyu and others who held heavy power. How could I be willing to do so?"

"Isn't it ridiculous for the Jiuzhou Army to launch surrendered generals and abolish the eight-legged essays from top to bottom to act based on Chu Yun's preferences?" Qian Qianyi also said.

"If you delay like this, the night is long and the dreams are too long. When are you planning to start a trouble?" Zuo Liangyu asked.

"On the surface, the Huqiu Conference made friends through literature, but in fact it was something we had planned for a long time. My disciple Qu Shishi will return from Liaodong soon. If Emperor Chongzhen still refuses to uprising, we will discuss and support the new king with Ma Shiying and the people of the Fushe Conference at Huqiu Conference. In addition, the Fushe will merge other clubs at this conference to strengthen our strength. When Chu Yun leaves Nanjing City, all the scholars in Jiangnan will join you to join us, why worry about the big thing going to happen?" Qian Qianyi said.

"You literati are indecisive, and they are afraid that they have delayed many precious opportunities." Zuo Liangyu was not very satisfied with Qian Qianyi's approach.

"This is a perfect solution, don't doubt it anymore." Qian Qianyi said confidently.

Zuo Liangyu discussed some details of the Tiger Hill Conference and rebellion with Qian Qianyi, and then said goodbye to Qian Qianyi.

There were two sedan chairs waiting outside Qian Qianyi’s mansion, one of which was Zuo Liangyu and the other was Liu Liangzuo, the general general of Jiangxi Provincial Administration.

When Liu Liangzuo saw Zuo Liangyu coming out of Qian Qianyi's mansion, he immediately dismissed the surrounding sedan chairmen.

"Zuo Liangyu, what do you say that old guy Qian Qianyi? When will the army rise?" Liu Liangzuo asked Zuo Liangyu, who was worried.

"Hmph, that old guy is still thinking about how to subvert the influence of the Jiuzhou Army in the Jiangnan area through the power of Shilin. It's ridiculous. The scholars are so pedantic that I can't rely on them to act, otherwise you and I will be captured and executed by the Jiuzhou Army." Zuo Liangyu said.

"We have sacrificed our lives. Qian Qianyi is not doing anything. What should we do? The Jiuzhou Army obviously distrusts us and only gives us official positions as the chief constable of the local government. A province has two or three thousand people. On weekdays, it only catches some thieves and sweeps away bandits. It is not as good as Lu Xiangsheng and the others." Liu Liangzuo said resentfully.

"It's better to rely on themselves than those stupid scholars. I heard that Chu Yun has arrived in Nanjing City, and you and I will find a few dead soldiers to assassinate him. As long as Chu Yun dies and he has no descendants, the Jiuzhou army will definitely be divided. By then, the difficulty of our uprising will decrease by a thousand times." Zuo Liangyu said coldly.

"Okay, since I decided to rebel, I will give it my best this time." Liu Liangzuo also said viciously, "Do we need to participate in the Tiger Hill Conference?"

"The families where the scholars who participated in the Huqiu Conference were mostly wealthy families in Jiangnan before the Jiuzhou Army confiscated the land. Their families still have influence. We disguised ourselves at the Huqiu Conference to win over the hearts of the people." Zuo Liangyu said.

"I'll go back and prepare now." Liu Liangzuo said.

"Be careful to go to the Tiger Hill Conference this time, don't bring too many people, so as not to be discovered that we will participate in these literati gatherings." Zuo Liangyu said.
