Chapter 64: The Dukes of the Four Kingdoms (Part 2)
Speaking of Song Qian, the third Duke of Dingguo, he is also a person with stories. They all say that there are thieves in Shandong. There is some truth to this. For example, the famous Shuibo Liangshan in history, although they all died miserably.
, but it also established the excellent character of Shandong people who dare to fight, dare to fight, and take action but keep silent if they are not convinced.
And Song Qian was born in Shuibo Liangshan. It is said that Song Qian was still a cultural person, well-spoken, knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He was selected as a scholar at the age of fifteen. Perhaps because of his youth and arrogance, he offended Master Xuezheng, and ended up being in charge of education in Shandong.
In the past few years, Song Qian has been losing his reputation. From being a talented boy at the beginning, to missing every time now, Song Qian was full of confidence again and again, and now he is disappointed again and again, but Song Qian is like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang.
, was knocked down time and time again, and stood up again and again. His legs were not bent, his back was not hunched, and he could go up to the fifth floor in one breath without any problem. However, Song Qian was not a wealthy child. Going to school was expensive at that time, just like now.
Falling in love and marrying a wife are the same. Song Qian can only work and study, and study by himself while working. You must know that there were not so many jobs in ancient times. Of course, if you have the strength, you can still find a job. But Song Qian is also different from all scholars.
Likewise, he only focused on reading the books of sages and could not hear what was happening outside the window. He could not carry his shoulders or lift his hands. Naturally, it was difficult for Song Qian to find a job. Therefore, Song Qian's life was very difficult. His father,
My mother, younger brother, and younger sister were all struck down by disease and hunger one after another. You must know that it was the last years of the Shun Dynasty. The government was incompetent and the administration was corrupt. Naturally, no one was willing to give out food and porridge. Many people who could not survive went up to the mountains and became bandits.
After all, there is a tradition in that place that whoever gives him food is his boss. Song Qian also couldn't survive under such a great atmosphere and finally went up the mountain to join the bandits.
As the saying goes, thieves also have their own principles. Although they are bandits, bandits also have their own principles. First, they do not kill, and second, they do not commit adultery. They only rob big households in the county or official warehouses. Ordinary people, they also have their own principles.
Qiu never offends, and sometimes even sends them some food and clothes. Of course, you can also call this group of thieves.
Although bandits can eat well and drink spicy food, after all, there is no guarantee of work, no salary, and they have to worry about the government's encirclement and suppression, and their lives are not guaranteed. Therefore, there are still many people who are unwilling to take risks and become bandits.
There were even fewer bandits, so the generals were chosen among the cripples. In the end, the high position of secretary, a green forest hero, fell to Song Qian, the only talented man. You must know that people still respect scholars very much, so Song Qian
He became the strategist of this gang of thieves, commonly known as the dog-headed strategist.
And Song Qian did not disappoint everyone. He directed several robberies and repelled several government sieges. Soon several groups of small bandits nearby came to seek refuge in order to protect themselves. The boss saw that Song Qian was capable.
, he also took the initiative to give way to his talents, and Song Qian gave some symbolic courtesy and ascended to the position of bandit leader. Song Qian's power also became stronger and stronger. After all, he is a person who has read books and learned the art of war. Naturally,
Much better than those who were just farmers before, he soon annexed several bandits who did not understand the rules.
In less than ten years, Song Qian became the largest and only group of bandits in the Shuibo Liangshan area. For the sake of local stability, the government made several attempts to recruit people but failed. In the end, there was no other way. For the benefit of the landlords and wealthy businessmen, the government only
It is possible to send a large amount of food and money to Song Qian every month with only one purpose, not to rob anymore. With food and drink, Song Qian naturally has no intention of robbing anymore and concentrates on opening up wasteland and farming in the village, focusing on production and training.
All the bandits, because he knows that storms are coming, and only strong people can survive in this troubled world. Otherwise, people should study hard. People who read books can think further than ordinary people. After going to the temple,
If you are high up, you will worry about your people; if you are far away, you will worry about your ruler.
Later, Zhu Xiluo went to Liangshan to develop his power. After all, the Shandong Han Dynasty still had a deep impression on Zhu Xiluo. Who would have thought that Zhu Xiluo brought several of his men to Liangshan, but they were kidnapped by the bandits before they could contact the bandit leader.
, well, they are really tied up, three horizontally and three vertically, one at the waist, and tied with ropes, just like the way of tying pigs during the New Year.
Looking at Zhu Xiluo, who has a fat head and big ears, a handsome face, and is also wearing silk and satin, he looks like a rich and evil landlord who does all kinds of evil and bullies tenants. This time Song Qian also has a big appetite, and the ransom is 10,000 taels, and he must be an official.
Silver, after all, official silver has relatively few impurities.
Otherwise, in those troubled times, there were many people who were richer, more talented, and more handsome than Zhu Xiluo. But why was it that the successful person and the person who became the ruler of the world was Zhu Xiluo? When he was born,
There was no wind, no thunder, and no purple stars lingering above his mother's head. Zhu Xiluo's success was no accident. According to the research of some historians in later generations, they came to the conclusion that Zhu Xiluo had a personal charm that no one else had, and that was his eloquence.
Excellent, to put it simply, he knows how to deceive. I don’t know how Zhu Xiluo deceived him. After staying in the village for only two days, he actually deceived Song Qian into a daze. He almost drank chicken blood and worshiped him.
, without asking for the ransom, he also gave himself, including the gang under him, to Zhu Xiluo.
Fortunately, Zhu Xiluo did not treat Qian badly. The new dynasty was established, and Song Qian also became Duke Ding, one of the four great princes of the Ming Empire. The only regret was that Song Qian had no children in his life, and Zhu Xiluo also selected countless women for him.
But even if he has no children, there are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having children. This is also the pain of Song Qian's life.
The next one is naturally the last Duke of the State, Qian Song, Duke Qian Guo, well, it is said that Zhu Xiluo asked Qian Song what kind of official position he wanted as Duke of the State. In the end, Qian Song wanted Duke Qian. After all, money is a good thing.
.
To say that the most educated person in the Ming Dynasty is naturally Hao Liande, the eunuch in charge of the royal horse. He is the number one talent. However, Qian Song's cultural level is not low. He is only one place behind Hao Liande. The second place is -
- Tanhua, and she is still a few years ahead of Hao Liande. According to the rules of scholars, Hao Liande still has to call Qian Song senior.
Compared with Hao Liande's family, Qian Song's family is still very poor, just like ordinary scholars. After all, only by studying and gaining fame can he change his poverty situation. Of course, Qian Song's parents did not starve to death, because he did not live in poverty at all.
I don’t know who my parents are, where I come from, or whether my parents abandoned him in front of the Baihua Building because of poverty, the mistress’s pregnancy, or because they were a primary school student who stole food after giving birth to him.
Well, everyone guessed it right, Baihualou is a brothel, a place with legs spread out, where men spend money and women make money.
He was adopted by a woman. Although Qian Song didn't like his godmother's profession, she was still very grateful to her for raising him. However, the woman was old and yellow, so naturally no one wanted to
Spending money on such a woman would bring in very little money, but the food could still satisfy Qian Song. Qian Song also lived a carefree life for a few years. He never thought that the woman would eventually get sick and die.
I have been in the skin and flesh business for a lifetime, but there was no condom in ancient times. Bacteria thrived, and the level of customers was not high. There were old men who farmed the land, and there were also high-ranking officials and virtuous officials. They could not all be clean and bathe every day. Ancient medicine was not that developed either.
All kinds of diseases can be cured, but in the end the woman's organs festered and she died. She was hastily buried and Qian Song became an orphan again.
At a young age, Qian Song knew that the only way to change his destiny was to study. There was a house of gold in the book and white rice in the water. He had no money to study, so Qian Song secretly went to the school to steal food while begging for food.
Listening to the teacher's lecture, I saw that Qian Song was in tatters, but he was very eager to learn. The teacher did not drive him away. In this way, Qian Song began his secret study career. Fortunately, God will favor those who work hard, and successive counties
Although Qian Song's rankings were not very high in both the examination and the government examination, Qian Song was able to pass at the bottom every time. It must be said that Qian Song was very lucky.
Until the last exam, Qian Song became a blockbuster and got second place. In fact, the first place belonged to Qian Song. It was because of Qian Song's appearance. Qian Song was a bit ugly.
Knowing that every dynasty and generation is a society based on appearance, Emperor Shun saw that this boy was so ugly, how could he be number one? Didn't this lower the overall appearance of the Shun Dynasty, so with a stroke of a pen, Qian Song became
He was ranked second, and the first place was given to a handsome guy. Of course, Emperor Shun still cherishes talents and did not kick Qian Song out of the top ten. From this, it can be seen that Hao Liande can get the number one pick. He is definitely a young man. It is a pity that he was castrated.
Yes, if you get involved in the entertainment industry, you will definitely gain countless fans, ranging from ninety-nine to beauties who have just learned how to walk. Of course, it is also possible for men with special quirks.
Although he was ranked second, according to common sense, Qian Song could stay in the Hanlin Academy to gain seniority, and it would be possible for him to join the cabinet and become the prime minister in the future. However, because he was poor and had no money to give gifts, the gifts he received were night-time pearls as big as duck eggs.
, red coral as big as the table, and a few boxes of gold and silver at the end, but Qian Song was better. He went to the official department carrying celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan and bacon, and it was only half a catty. This is the rhythm of apprenticeship. I don’t know.
People thought that some of the adults in the official department had wives and concubines at home. The result was naturally unsatisfactory. Qian Song did not get a good official position, so he was sent to Liangshan and became a county magistrate. As it happened, Qian Song happened to be
Liangshan County.
However, Qian Song still had some talents, and he was also very good at governing the place. Although he did not pick up things on the road and did not close the house at night, the people's lives were indeed improved. Although it was very small, the number of people starving to death was much less. According to the officialdom
According to the rules, a prostitute who has been outside for three years can come to Beijing to report on her work, and Qian Song was also very effective in governing the place. But because he was poor and had no money to give gifts, Qian Song seemed to have been forgotten here.
He stayed in Liangshan County for ten years. It was not until he went to the mountains to suppress bandits and was captured by the bandits that Qian Song ended his life of working hard and devoting his life to the Shun Dynasty.
What is even more distressing is that when Qian Song was arrested, the court did not take any rescue measures and immediately sent another official to serve as Liangshan County Magistrate. Qian Song's Liangshan County Magistrate became a thing of the past and became an ordinary person.
Common people.
Qian Song was heartbroken. He worked so hard for the Ming Dynasty that he never thought that he would be abandoned in the end. There is no greater sadness than heartbreak. Qian Song was completely disappointed with the Ming Dynasty.
It is estimated that there is some destiny that the leader of the thieves who kidnapped Qian Song was Song Qian. Song Qian also respected Qian Song, a good official who cared for the people, and did not beat or scold him. As long as he stayed in the village honestly, he would be fine.
There was no restriction on Qian Song's personal freedom. He could go in and out of any place in the village without anyone stopping him. Soon Qian Song was also attracted by the orderly, warm and harmonious environment in the village, and he simply joined the bandits.
Following Song Qian, he joined Zhu Xiluo's team. Qian Song had the talent of being the top scholar. Song Qian was not jealous of Qian Song's talent. Instead, he strongly recommended him. After following Zhu Xiluo for many years, he also made outstanding achievements repeatedly and won the title of Qian Guogong.
