The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 120 I am a strong dragon
The new chief examiner of the Jiangnan Provincial Examination was Zhang Penghe, the Minister of Revenue, and the deputy chief examiner was Xu Chao, the President of the Hanlin Academy.

Among them, Zhang Penghe was from Sichuan and Xu Chao was from Zhejiang, and neither of them had deep ties with the Jiangnan literati.

From this we can see that Kangxi really wanted to hold a fair examination to select talents for the country!
However, even tigers take naps sometimes, and Kangxi also makes mistakes sometimes.

The fourth brother sighed and said, "Zhang Penghe is the eighth brother's man."

Yinyu smiled and said, "Fourth brother, when the time comes, you will be the invigilator. You just need to keep a close eye on the more than 100 people who passed the exam last time. If there is even one person who is not qualified, Galin will lose his head. I have heard that Galin is the number one gourmet and beauty collector in Jiangning!"

When Lao Si heard this, his mood also improved. If he didn't make a lot of money when he came to Jiangnan this time, the funds he had secretly raised would not be enough.

Unlike the eighth brother who has plenty of money, the fourth brother has always been short of funds for activities.

To achieve great things, power and money are both indispensable.

Yinyou was not short of money, he just wanted to find a suitable way to tarnish his reputation.

As a subject, a good reputation is not only not a plus, but rather a way to death.

However, the reputation cannot be too bad, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

You need to find a balance in between!

According to Wu Lin's secret inquiries, the eight great Confucian families in Jiangning all had thousands of hectares of fertile land. Among them, the Jiangning Lin family was ranked the richest, with 80,000 hectares of fertile land.

As the saying goes, a man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure. That's the truth!
You make a fortune quietly, but a fierce dragon coming across the river is here to eat you. What can you do?

Under the guise of strict supervision, Yinyou deliberately requested permission to transfer two thousand Green Camp soldiers from Anhui, Jiangxi and other places.

The Qing Dynasty’s troop deployments have always been unique.

For example, 300 soldiers were transferred from Ganzhou, 200 from Guangxinfu, and 400 from Luzhoufu. In other words, more than 1,000 soldiers were transferred from not just one place.

In this way, even if the general leading the troops in battle controls all the soldiers in an area, it will be of no avail.

To be frank, until Hong Xiuquan's rebellion, the Qing Dynasty's method of controlling military power had always been effective.

Anyway, Jiangnan is too far away from the capital, so Yinyou can boldly cultivate his own small faction in the Green Camp.

The Green Camp officer who led 300 soldiers was at best a guerrilla, roughly equivalent to a battalion commander.

Even if he is a lieutenant general with 500 soldiers, he is just a reinforced battalion commander.

There is no way. The Green Camp officers of the Qing Dynasty are often third-rank lieutenant generals or second-rank deputy generals, both of which are of very high ranks.

However, the number of troops they actually led was pitifully small.

Generally speaking, the troops under a Green Camp deputy general are equivalent to those of a regiment commander.

The Qing Dynasty's method of garrisoning troops was very effective in dealing with small-scale peasant uprisings and could suppress them quickly.

However, after the Jintian Uprising, this backward garrison method of scattering sesame seeds everywhere was defeated.

Now, the way the Qing Dynasty deployed its troops was extremely beneficial to Yinyu.

They were all battalion, company and regiment commanders, and none of them had strong backing. Yinyu only needed to give a hint and there was no need to worry about these people not joining his camp.

Yinyou was the prince in charge of the Ministry of War. He could have taken advantage of his power to quietly place them in the Green Camp of Zhili at a rate of one or two per year.

It is only the 46th year of Kangxi's reign, and Yinyou still has more than ten years to prepare.

What's the old saying? If you work hard, you can grind an iron rod into a needle!

General Quan secretly organized the Yi Xin Society, and Yin Yu secretly trained dozens of battalion and company commanders, both of which were similar in nature.

When the exam was resumed for the second time, the fourth brother was locked in the Imperial Examination Hall.

Yinyou gave the fourth brother five hundred Green Camp soldiers, so that he could have the ability to keep an eye on the more than one hundred people who passed the imperial examination last time.

When the official results were posted, it turned out that, as expected, ten of the people who had passed the exam last time were fools.

Looking at the test paper, not only was the text irrelevant to the topic, but even the basic common sense was completely wrong.

"Come on, arrest them one by one!"

"Whoo!"

Following Yinyou's order, the Green Camp soldiers who were transferred from all over the country went out in full force to search for those who cheated in the imperial examinations and their families.

In the Qing Dynasty, the richer and more powerful one's family was, the less likely one was to run away and the more likely one was to surrender.

If he ran away, he would be guilty of a serious crime of contempt for the imperial court, and the family fortune accumulated over hundreds of years would be wiped out.

If you don't run away, as long as your entire clan is not implicated, there will always be a chance for the inheritance to continue.

In the era of small peasant economy, if future generations were not allowed to take the imperial examinations, it would be tantamount to digging up the roots of scholars.

After Yinyou obtained the detailed confession, the fourth brother submitted a memorial to the emperor, publicly impeaching the Governor-General of Liangjiang, Galin, for corruption, abuse of power, wanton cheating in the imperial examinations, and sabotage of the country's talent selection ceremony.

"Fourth brother, out of ten cheaters, nine will be yours. I only want the Jiangning Lin family." Yinyu took the initiative to make a request to the fourth brother.

The fourth brother nodded without hesitation and said with a smile: "It's up to you. But I can't give you Galin. Alas, I'm too short of money."

"It's settled!" Yinyou and the fourth brother smiled at each other.

For the real big shots, as long as they reach a consensus, the plot is often over before it even begins, and all that remains is the trivial work of closing the net.

Gao Yuliang's fate was doomed from the moment Sha Ruijin parachuted in. The melon vine sniping invented by the former Ming Taizu was really powerful. As long as you had some connection with Hu Weiyong or Lan Yu, they would sniper you first and then kill you without mercy.

Yinyou's prey was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiangning Lin family, Lin Fang.

The Lin family is the most prestigious family in Jiangning, while the Fang family is one of the top five prestigious families in Wuxi.

Intermarriage between prominent families is extremely common in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, in front of a truly powerful dragon, this so-called marriage is simply vulnerable.

After catching the person, Yinyou did not show up in person, but handed Lin Fangshi over to the most famous Lichunyuan in Jiangning for pre-job training.

The Lichun Courtyard was a place where women of good character were forced to entertain guests. They had ways to keep these ladies of good families in line.

What a farming and reading family is really good at is taking exams, being an official, building relationships and making black money.

If he fell into the hands of the black-hearted jailer, not to mention the delicate and tender scholar, even the battle-hardened Zhou Yafu would have to die.

About a month later, Yinyu received news that Lin Fang, known as the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan, had been conquered.

Yinyou sat on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand, looking at Lin Fang who was approaching step by step. Well, she was indeed as beautiful as her reputation said.

In Yinyu's eyes, Lin Fang's beauty and figure were enough to compete with Concubine Mi.

Yinyou couldn't help but smile, he really had found a treasure.

Suddenly seeing the unfamiliar Yinyou, Lin Fang stopped subconsciously.

Yinyu put down the teacup in his hand, walked up to her, touched her delicate chin with the tip of his fan, smiled slightly, and said, "You must be dissatisfied in your heart. But both your Lin family and Fang family have been defeated. If you don't obey me, I can make your Lin family and Fang family disappear from the world with a glance."

In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers.

"Mother Liu, has she learned everything?" Yinyou suddenly asked loudly.

Mother Liu outside hurried in, knelt on the ground, and said servilely: "Master Fifteen, she has learned everything according to your instructions."

Yinyu smiled faintly and ordered, "Kneel on the chair!"

Lin Fang was a little shy and hesitant.

At this time, Mama Liu was afraid of angering Yinyu, so she quickly scolded him: "Little bitch, do you think you are still a noble lady from a wealthy family? Bah, kneel down quickly, or I will use some drastic measures against you!"

After Lin Fang timidly knelt on the chair, Yinyou waved his hand and drove Mama Liu out.

Yinyou felt extremely happy!
Although Lin Fang cried miserably out of humiliation, Yinyu showed no sympathy at all.

The entire society is a food chain where big fish eat small fish.

The Lin family and the Fang family occupied so much fertile land. If they said they had not committed many evil deeds, even if you beat Yinyou to death, I would not believe it!

In order to verify her obedience, Yinyou deliberately gave Lin Fang a name: Lin Qianqian.

The reason why it is called Qianqian, haha, anyone who uses it will know.

After Lin Qianqian took a shower and changed her clothes, she became much more obedient.

After all, in this era where chastity is particularly important, Lin Qianqian is no longer clean.

Yinyou held Lin Qianqian's hand and took many twists and turns to reach the prison cell in the headquarters.

In the signing room, Lin Qianqian saw the divorce documents from her husband and the document from her father expelling her from the Fang family tree.

Lin Qianqian could recognize the handwriting of her husband and father even if it was burned to ashes.

Yinyou was not satisfied with just the documents, so he deliberately brought Lin Qianqian with him to eavesdrop on the Fang family's conversation.

Lin Qianqian's biological father said that he would sacrifice her to preserve the entire Fang family's foundation.

For a moment, Lin Qianqian was completely desperate, her legs went weak, and she was carried out of the cell by Yinwei.

At night, Lin Qianqian was particularly crazy, making Yinyou so happy that he was bubbling!

"Master, as long as you can protect my mother and my brother, I am willing to serve you wholeheartedly!"

During breakfast, Lin Qianqian had thought it through and took the initiative to make a request to Yinyu.

However, Yinyu noticed that Lin Qianqian did not mention her biological father.

Lin Qianqian in front of me, although she has been married for more than five years, is only in her early twenties.

Objectively speaking, Lin Qianqian is like a ripe red apple, full of juice when you bite it.

Yinyu knew that Lin Qianqian was just making a temporary compromise, so he took out Kangxi's latest decree from his arms and pushed it in front of Lin Qianqian.

Lin Qianqian took a look and was immediately shocked. The decree clearly stated that all the people of Wuxi Fang family were to be classified as Ah Ha under Yinyu's name.

In the Qing Dynasty, Ah Ha was the real slave. Without Yin Yu's pardon, the Fang family would never be able to turn things around.

Yinyu raised his hand and gently pinched Lin Qianqian's chin, and said sarcastically: "Little thing, you dare to compete with me?"

Most women admire strong men!
As long as Yinwei is strong enough, Lin Qianqian will obediently let him control her.

Yinyou reaped a great harvest, and the fourth brother was also busy. He raided Galin's house and made him a fortune.

PS: I have a bad cold, my head hurts, and I have a low-grade fever. I will try my best to ensure two updates, and strive for three!
