Chapter 694 Caused great damage to traditional culture
Xu Guangqi’s family was very wealthy. His grandfather and father were both merchants. However, when the Japanese invasion broke out, Xu Guangqi’s family house was destroyed and all the assets were burned. Xu Guangqi’s family was very wealthy. My father had to give up business and work in farming to support himself through farming and schooling. My grandmother and mother spun in the morning and evening, even in the cold and hot weather.
Xu Guangqi devoted himself to studying. He wanted to pass the exam and shine on his family. The whole family gave him all their savings, hoping that he would be good at studying. If he develops according to the established track, he will be in his twenties. He had not passed the examination for many years, so he should have been a poor scholar, teaching everywhere to make a living. As a result, as he read, his family became richer and richer.
It is better to rely on your father to work hard than to work hard on your own.
The east wind that opened the sea in the Ming Dynasty blew to Songjiang Prefecture. Seeing the east wind, Xu Guangqi's father planted all the fields in cotton. After the ban on raw silk came into effect, he immediately sold all the fields and built a machine workshop. Started spinning silk.
Xu Guangqi has not yet passed the examination for fame. Xu Guangqi’s father has successfully entered the Songjiang Ocean Trading Company and became one of the maritime merchants of the Ocean Trading Company. Xu Guangqi’s family has undergone earth-shaking changes during the Wanli period. His life We no longer have no worries about food and clothing, it can even be said that we have food and clothing at our fingertips.
Which of the shipowners of Songjiang Ocean Trading Company is not extremely rich?
Now the Xu family has many industries, not only in Songjiang Prefecture, but also in Nanya. There are thirty-seven weaving workshops alone, producing cotton, linen, and silk fabrics, and twenty-three garment workshops. , ranging from powerful right-wingers to poor coolies, they have everything including clothes, shoes and hats, seven umbrella-making workshops, three brick kilns, etc.
Their family's property has far surpassed that of my grandfather. To describe its scale and status in detail, it is probably that the family property can enter the eyes of the emperor, with the scrutiny of pigs slaughtered during the New Year.
When Xu Guangqi passed the scholar examination in the ninth year of Wanli and passed the imperial examination in the tenth year of Wanli, their family no longer needed him to pass the Jinshi examination to shine on the family lintel.
At the end of the twelfth year of Wanli, Sun Kehong called on the Songjiang Prefecture to donate generously and inoculate the craftsmen and soldiers with cowpox. Sun Kehong directly gave out 50,000 taels of silver, and also asked his nephew to take care of humble businesses.
Medicine these days is still one of alchemy, because most of the charlatans are swindlers. Sun Kehong personally supports the imperial decree, and Xu Guangqi’s father also took out a sum of money and asked Xu Guangqi to go to Huimin Pharmacy. The reason for learning is that he has too many skills to overwhelm himself. The main reason is that Xu Guangqi's father does not believe that a small vaccination method can curb the plague smallpox.
At that time, Xu Guangqi came into contact with medicine.
Smart people learn everything quickly, and Xu Guangqi quickly learned the vaccination method.
The wealth of life has given Xu Guangqi a freer choice. His current goal is no longer to become a Jinshi, but to become a Doctor of Gewu at the Royal Academy of Gewu to explore the cognitive boundaries of the unknown world.
Xu Guangqi made some achievements in arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, mapping, and even firearms. He became friends with Galileo and had similar interests.
Unlike Xu Guangqi, who had no worries about food and clothing, Galileo was now dependent on someone else. He was thrown out by Felipe II as a trouble.
Felipe admired Galileo very much, just like Isabella I admired Columbus and spent his own private money to support Columbus's adventures, just like Charles V admired Magellan and did his best to provide Magellan with The necessary ships and sailors for the ocean.
Isabella I and Charles V were both kings of Spain. These two small and inconspicuous investments were rewarded with the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets. Felipe II valued Galileo’s persistence. , he felt that this was another great discovery, just like Columbus and Magellan. However, due to pressure from the Holy See and questioning, Felipe could only let Legaz take him away.
Felipe’s original plan was to follow the Ming Emperor’s example and build the Royal Garden. Felipe read through all of Legaz’s travel notes and gained a vague understanding of man’s power to change nature. , he wanted to build a temple of science in his palace to attract talents from all over Thailand.
However, the Holy See did not approve it and ultimately could not do it.
As the guardian of the Holy See, Felipe is in a dilemma.
“The Ming Emperor is the embodiment of wisdom. I read Legas’ travel notes. In the past thirteen years, it seems that the prophet has not made any wrong decisions. Every new policy has been very successful. "Is the prophet's goal to conquer the world? I think it can be achieved in less than thirty years." Galileo asked curiously.
"Huh? Hahaha." Xu Guangqi smiled happily.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is a very simple person. His Majesty is always shrinking his definition. He only wants to be the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and has no idea of domination. The Ming Dynasty does not want to be the overlord of the earth. The price to pay is too high. Big.
"No, His Majesty's goal, the Wanli Reform is actually just eight words, enriching the country, strengthening the army, and living and working in peace and contentment. This is His Majesty's only goal." Xu Guangqi waved his hands and said.
Galileo said with some worry: "By the way, Xu, if I pass the examination of Dr. Gewu, do I need to stand up and toast His Highness the Prince? I heard that this is the case. Li Yazhi used a long speech in his travel notes , describes the wine table culture of the Ming Dynasty. I am not very good at drinking. Will this affect my future development? "
In the West, some clean priests are always ostracized. In Galileo's view, , even if you don’t drink in the Ming Dynasty, you will be ostracized. These are some of Galileo’s small worries.
For the future life, Galileo was yearning for, curious, and fearful.
Xu Guangqi shook his head and said: "Maybe not. Serving the table is a difficult task. Let alone toasting His Highness King De. You may not even see it on weekdays, unless you have great achievements. You can make a toast if you want?”
"In the Ming Dynasty, as long as you study the infinite principle of all things, you will be slandered and opposed by Confucian scholars. These Confucian scholars are about the same as the Holy See in Western Europe. However, I think the Doctors of Gewu should not have many banquets because they are really busy."< br>
When Xu Guangqi failed to pass the exam to be a scholar, he used to be very disgusted with this kind of worldliness. But after he passed the exam, he realized that he had overthought it. When he was a scholar, he was just a bean sprout. It was difficult to serve at the table, let alone make a toast. After he passed the exam, no one invited him because his family was a notorious businessman in Shanghai who offered sacrifices to the emperor.
"Why do Confucian scholars oppose the study of the principles of all things?" Galileo was a little puzzled. The concept of Confucian scholars seemed to be relatively complex and all-encompassing.
Xu Guangqi thought for a moment and said: "If you forget the front, you will also forget the back. In short, it will cause great damage to traditional culture."
"Huh? In my opinion , the Wanli Restoration, including the study of the infinite principles of all things, made the Ming Dynasty a country full of vitality again. This vitality is visible to the naked eye. The eighty-eight-spindle cotton spinning wheel of the Ming Dynasty and the cotton cloth produced by one person are things of the past. Fifty times, how can this be a huge damage to traditional culture? "
"Shouldn't it be promoted? Otherwise, how could the exquisite silks and reasonably priced and beautiful cottons of the Ming Dynasty be known to the world?" Galileo didn't know. I understand that many things in Ming Dynasty made him, a barbarian, feel a little strange.
"That's the truth, but who knows, I haven't read their article carefully, let them say it." Xu Guangqi spread his hands. He didn't care about these public opinions. He just wanted to tell Galileo that he It is difficult to understand the traditional culture of standing and toasting in the Ming Dynasty, because these Confucian scholars regarded Dr. Gewu as a heretic.
The wine table culture excludes all Dr. Gewu who devote themselves to the emperor and study the mysteries of all things.
Xu Guangqi and Galileo left Huimin Pharmacy, and the two of them stopped by. Xu Guangqi was going to his home in Nanjing, and Galileo was going back to Nanjing Siyi Pavilion. He could rent the house at the rent of two silver coins per month. Living in Seikan was expensive, but it was the only place he could go, unless he could save enough money to buy a house, which was very difficult.
It is said that there is a family east of the old Baixia Bridge. The wife is as beautiful as a flower, but the husband is ugly and short. It is all because the second son of the family is working in the Yamen, so those wandering people dare not harass them. , but said that on this day, the pretty lady held the bamboo pole to open the window on the second floor, but she didn't hold it firmly. She slipped and fell on the turban of a passerby.
The pretty lady quickly exclaimed, bowed deeply, and said apologetically: "The slave family made a mistake for a moment, and the officials should not blame it."
The bamboo pole happened to fall on Xu Guangqi's head, and Xu Guangqi When he raised his head, he saw a charming woman.
"It's okay." Xu Guangqi waved his hand repeatedly, put down the bamboo pole, and said to Galileo with full of surprise: "Galileo, tell me, why does the bamboo pole not fly up to the sky, but fall down? It's because there is something What kind of force is attracting the bamboo poles to fall? "
"According to the research of Gewuyuan, tides are not caused by the elliptical orbit of the earth around the sun. The acceleration and deceleration of the sun in recent days causes the sea water to oscillate, because the cycle of tides is very stable. , sufficient observation has proved that the tide is affected by the moon and the sun. Do you think it is the same force? "
"A force that we can't see or touch, but it really exists. This can be true. Explain the reason why the earth is a ball, but the people on the back of the earth have not fallen."
"You have a good idea!" Galileo's eyes lit up and he said with excitement in his eyes: "We all know that the earth is rotating at an extremely fast speed, but people are not thrown out. It is because there is some kind of downward force!"
"We need a lot of verification to figure out To support this idea."
Xu Guangqi and Galileo became more and more excited as they chatted, and walked towards home. The pretty lady went downstairs, took the bamboo pole, looked at the figure going away, and could only say hello. A handsome husband.
Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty was inspecting. He saw a Nanya that disappointed him very much, a Nanya whose etiquette was ruined and music was ruined, and he also saw a prosperous Nanya.
Rituals and music are morals and laws, and are the public order and good customs of society. However, Nanya was soaked in silver and became what he saw. He saw many scenes with his own eyes that made him a little sad.
An old man in the family passed away, and the body was not even cold before being buried. The four brothers were beaten to death for the family property. The four families, who had no worries about food and clothing, made the house restless just for a few taels of silver;
People's Yaxing It is illegal, but most of them are in the name of a charity. The poor coolies who can’t afford food can’t hold back their tears, but they still send their children to the charity. Then some people with silk and satin Entering the shrine, they select the children they like to be servants, slaves, child brides, or even eunuchs;
The husband is lazy and lazy, so the wife is forced to be a prostitute in the private brothel, and is raped by the passing The husband was bullied by the yamen and the street bullies, but the husband not only did not get angry, but also tried every means to please him, and then brought the guests to his home. If there were no guests, he would fight with fists and kicks, just because he made less money;
In order to beg, some 'parents' broke their children's legs, put them into a bag, held them up with their hands and begged along the street, but they only got more than a dozen dollars a day, and then these 'parents' violently gave the money away Seize and throw out two or three bran flour steamed buns. The bran is the chaff that is ground out when millet is milled. In the past, the military ration "guang cake" was also mixed with a little fine bran. Later, the emperor also ate all the cake, resulting in no chaff in the cake. .
But these beggars, all they have in their hands are chaff, the kind that will make their throats sore from eating it.
Zhu Yijun saw so much ugliness that he even wavered at a certain moment. Did the New Deal he implemented, encourage the growth of young people, and make too much haste, which led to too much silver in a short period of time? After pouring into the Ming Dynasty, morality and distribution failed to keep pace with the inflow of silver, and this was the scene that he couldn't bear to look at.
But Zhu Yijun's slight wavering quickly dissipated, because Li Le, the governor of Yingtian who accompanied him, told his majesty that it was even more chaotic before.
When he first came to Yingtian Prefecture as the magistrate, every few streets in the city were occupied by bandits. There were dozens of vicious cases of killings on the streets a year. Street fights broke out in broad daylight to seize territory. , these desperadoes who fight on the streets can even use firearms, including all kinds of blunderbuss.
"In July of the third year of Wanli, at Wuman Bridge over there, someone rolled out three bed crossbows. Your Majesty, they were bed-sized crossbows. They were one person high and had three blades on the front. With one shot, three swords and arrows, and three crossbows fired, more than 40 people were killed on the street, all of them were violent thugs," Li Le said with lingering fear.
"What the hell? Bed crossbows? There was a street fight and bed crossbows appeared? Why don't they go to the Japanese country to become the king and hegemony!" Zhu Yijun said dumbfounded.
Li Le said with lingering fear: "Isn't it true? I'm scared."
His Majesty may think that Nanya is a bit chaotic, but Li Le feels that Nanya has the best security in the past few decades. .
"I remembered that there was a gate-locking cart at that time. I went to Nanya in the next chapter and asked, is this a rebellion?" Zhu Yijun really remembered that he had indeed received such a memorial. , but I was beating up Dongyi and Beilu at that time, so I didn’t have time to pay too much attention to these. (The door-blocking knife cart is a kind of defensive equipment used to defend the city after the city gate is broken open.)
With a big killing weapon like the bed crossbow, it can really be used in the Japanese country. Becoming the king in village wars and becoming famous is definitely more than enough.
Zhu Yijun continued to inspect Nanya. After Li Le’s explanation, Zhu Yijun truly realized the changes in Nanya. Nanya has bad sides and good sides, such as In a market where people bump into each other, for example, most of the children running around are wearing shoes, and they are not straw sandals. For example, on the newly repaired hardened roads, the street trees are all camphor trees, which have fewer bugs.
Of course, there are also very obvious signs of inspection. Chen Lin reported to the emperor and cleaned up nearly 600 million kilograms of garbage.
"Feng Bao, tell me, what's going on? It's just a few boiled green vegetable leaves, and you grab a handful from the stall at Caishikou. The vegetable farmers at Caishikou are too lazy to chase after so many. Movie, do you want 138 articles? Or Wanli Tongbao?" Zhu Yijun walked around and walked to Fuxi Building.
As soon as it was time for dinner, Zhang Hong prepared lunch for His Majesty in Fuxi Tower. Zhu Yijun looked at the menu on a whim, surprising the Ming Emperor who had just spent 40 million silver.
“This is not boiled green vegetables, this is white jade green bamboo.” Feng Bao said with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Here comes the King of Heaven. It's also boiled green leaves, what the hell white jade bamboo! What about this plate? The white radish is cut and pickled. You collected 168 articles. What is it called, Gathering of Heroes?! "Zhu Yijun pointed to another dish, which contained diced pickled radish.
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!” Feng Bao said with sweat on his head. He didn’t know which little yellow door was responsible for bringing the usual menu of Fuxi Tower!
"Huh!" Zhu Yijun exhaled and told himself to calm down. He looked at Zhang Hong and asked, "How much do these four dishes and one soup cost today?"
Zhang Hong He quickly bowed his head and said: "Thirty-eight cents, Your Majesty, I am your Majesty's extravagant member. Today's four dishes and one soup, including rice, are worth thirty-eight cents."
The extravagant member is the eunuch who pays for the meal. Before killing the emperor, the extravagant officials were poisoned first. Often the emperor's extravagant officials were the emperor's most trusted eunuchs, who were also responsible for the emperor's meals.
"Feng Bao, is my Imperial Mansion too expensive?" Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao. Fuxi Tower didn't kill him. It killed someone else, so it's okay.
Feng Bao immediately said loudly: "How expensive is it!"
"Your Majesty, all the people who come to our Fuxi Building are distinguished guests. The food here is cheap, will anyone still eat it? Sir? I have never held their heads down to eat. The more expensive it is, the more people will eat it! Your Majesty, it really can’t go down, it can only go up. The food is just an atmosphere, and the food is expensive!”
Business! In this matter, Feng Bao advised the emperor to interfere less. If it was really cheap, who would come to Fuxi Tower?
"Let's do it this way. If Huangzhuang doesn't make money, someone will make it, right?" When Zhu Yijun heard this, Feng Bao made sense. Fuxi Tower is high-end, high-end, and the main purpose of this thing is It’s just emotional value, not the best, just the most expensive.
"Your Majesty has a meal." Feng Bao met Guan and said with a smile on his face. His Majesty has always been like this and never interferes in areas that he is not good at.
Huangzhuang contributes one million silver in internal funds to the emperor every year. This is how the money is stolen.
The Wanli Reform was in full swing, and a mutiny broke out in the Jiuying Camp of Zhejiang. It was finally determined by the court to enter the city to exterminate the bandits and maintain everyone's dignity. Only Wu Shanyan, the former governor of Zhejiang, and the human traffickers were injured.
But Shen Shixing had been repairing the big hole dug by the Nine Battalions. Finally, nearly a year after the mutiny, the hole was filled up by Shen Shixing.
The official's doctor, who was on duty in Songjiang and Shen Shixing in Zhejiang, was leading the Hangzhou prefect to welcome the inspection.
His Majesty’s itinerary is to move from Yingtian Prefecture to Hangzhou Prefecture, then go north from Hangzhou Prefecture to Suzhou Prefecture, enter Songjiang Prefecture for a final inspection, and then return to Beijing via the original route from Songjiang Prefecture to Yangzhou.
Songjiang Prefecture was the next stop for the Ming Emperor. Shen Shixing really tried his best to face the inspection, and tried to get his humiliating official demoted three levels back to the Ministry of Civil Service during the interview. Zuo Shilang, the official was restored to his original position.
Otherwise, the joke of a fifth-rank governor of two places would be somewhat of a shame.
In Hangzhou Mansion, even the mouse holes were dug out.
"Zhifu Yan, why don't you take a leave to go back to your hometown to visit? I'll give you a leave of three months, not six months!" Shen Shixing looked around and looked at The last link is the somewhat evil Yan Shixuan.
Yan Shixuan's passivity was a bit too scary. Shen Shixing was worried that Yan Shixuan would cause some trouble.
Yan Shixuan shook his head and said: "My parents are both in good health, why should I ask for leave?"
"Will you ask for leave?" Shen Shixing said with a complex expression: "You are allowed to take leave. You are still making irresponsible remarks!"
"I have a lot of things to do. I asked for leave. Who will do it? His Majesty is coming soon. It seems that many things have been done, but there are still many things to do. Check carefully, such as the suppression of bandits, such as this trade route, such as the canal from Ningbo to Hangzhou, everything must be carefully prepared." Yan Shixuan spread his hands and refused to ask for leave.
Yan Shixuan knew that this was a good opportunity to make progress. After the interview, His Majesty said that he had done a good job and did not dare to say that his official career was smooth, but at least, no one would embarrass him, and his official career was no longer It was the dog days of summer and there was not even a place for shade when we passed through the Flame Mountain.
He is not stupid.
"I'll do it for you, and you can return home with peace of mind." Shen Shixing drove Yan Shixuan away, and even took over all the work on himself.
"That won't work. His Majesty is going to Hangzhou and asks the governor of Hangzhou, Yan Shixuan, to pick him up. I won't ask for leave. Governor Shen is a man from heaven. We are all ordinary people. This opportunity is hard-won." Yan Shixuan took out. If the emperor comes to pressure Shen Shixing, how can you, Shen Shixing, be greater than His Majesty even if you are a man in heaven?
He Yan Shixuan can’t leave!
"Hey." Shen Shixing scratched his head. Blocking people's progress is equivalent to killing their parents. For this reason, he can't continue to force him. He can only hope that Yan Shixuan can absorb his magical powers. He really can't Then he used the fifth-rank official to patrol the two places.
"Those who are not heavenly beings are all His Majesty's ministers." Shen Shixing was rather disgusted with the term heavenly beings.
Yan Shixuan was silent for a long time before he said: "Governor Shen, do you know what an ordinary person is?"
"What?" Shen Shixing asked with a frown.
Yan Shixuan spat out his breath and said: "When there was a Japanese invasion, Qi Shuai and Yu Shuai led their troops to attack Cengang. Cengang was easy to defend but difficult to attack. At that time, the Japanese pirates occupied Cengang. Qi If Shuai and Yu Shuai want to capture Cengang, they will have to use their lives to fill it. "
"At that time, some people complained that this battle was too difficult, and Qi Shuai admonished him: "Is there hope? It can be fought." If we win the battle, it will definitely not be our turn. If we are asked to fight, there is definitely no hope of winning. Only by winning the battle that we have no hope of winning can we have a chance. But is it not difficult for us to win? "
"At that time, Hu Butang's officers and soldiers were ready-made, and the tough battles were fought by Qi Shuai, Yu Shuai, and Tan Lun, Tan Sima. "
Yan Shixuan. I feel that Hu Zongxian's actions are unfair. Why are Qi Shuai and Yu Shuai taking the hard points? When it comes to merit and rewards, Qi Shuai and Yu Shuai are just equal in merit and demerit. On the contrary, those guys who have done nothing have taken away Got the credit.
As time passed, Yan Shixuan gradually understood Hu Zongxian's unfairness. This was the best result that Hu Zongxian could do.
If Hu Zongxian didn't distribute the credit in this way, those bastards would dare to hold back Qi Shuai and Yu Shuai. They would just fight among themselves and even dare to betray Qi Shuai and Yu Shuai.
Rewards and punishments? How can there be so much justice in this world!
"You are scolding me." Shen Shixing thought about it for a moment, and immediately understood that Yan Shixuan was sarcastically using a gun and a stick to ridicule him, Shen Shixing. He, Shen Shixing, was a heavenly man who took credit for his work, while Yan Shixuan was an ordinary man who did things.
"Don't dare." Yan Shixuan waved his hands repeatedly. He was not sarcastic about Shen Shixing. If he were sarcastic, he wouldn't have made it so obvious. He was just telling the truth.
When Zhejiang Nine Camps were in chaos, Yan Shixuan was gambling with his life. When Shen Shixing and Chen Lin rushed to Hangzhou with the navy, they were not gambling on their lives, but came to quell the rebellion with strong troops and bravery. , strong soldiers, strong horses, and sufficient firearms.
Zhejiang Jiuying entered the city to exterminate the bandits and took the credit for handling the whole matter. Yan Shi chose to gamble his life in exchange for it. He had to show his face in front of His Majesty no matter what. Shen Shixing, a man in heaven, could not take all the credit. Grabbed it.
He is determined not to ask for leave!
"Futai, something happened." The master hurriedly ran into the West Flower Hall of the Hangzhou government office, and said anxiously: "Something big happened."
Shen Shixing looked at it Master, he was so hung up that he couldn't recover. He frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"The gang on the canal got into a fight, and seventeen people died." Master Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he panted and said, he ran all the way here.
"Tell me the specific situation." Shen Shixing stretched out his hand and scratched his head a little tremblingly. If he injured a few, he could still cover it up. When His Majesty left, he would kill them all and tell him What do they mean by official authority?
If you beat someone to death, you can’t hold it back anymore, so you can only report it to the Holy Spirit.
Official reinstatement? With him, Yan Shixuan, it would be impossible for Shen Shixing to be reinstated!
Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province is the starting point of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the entrance of the canal is on the Qiantang River. Around the canal, the ports are engaged in transporting grain. Two gangs were born. One is the Zhuzuo Gang, which is known as the Zhuzuo Gang. Mainly people from Wenzhou and Hangzhou, Zhejiang, are also called East Zhejiang faction; the other faction is the guest gang, with the main members coming from Northern Anhui, Jiangbei, and Luzhou.
After the grain shipping, these gangs who were engaged in transporting grain did not die out, but grew bigger and bigger because there were more and more ships on the canal. After the river-cao transportation capacity was released, the north and south responsibilities were borne. The canal, through which goods flowed, became more prosperous.
The Zhuzuo Gang and the Kegang Gang often fought fiercely to grab territory, but this was the first time since Shen Shixing came to Hangzhou that a fight ended in the death of more than a dozen people.
If nothing happens sooner or later, something will happen later. However, His Majesty is on a southern tour and something happens when he is about to arrive in Hangzhou. This makes Shen Shixing somewhat vulnerable.
"This has nothing to do with me." Yan Shixuan waved his hands repeatedly. He was somewhat unconfident. Can he really defeat him?
"It really has something to do with Yan Zhifu." Master explained the reason.
Yan Shixuan issued three orders to deal with these Cao Gangs. The purpose was to curb the size of the Cao Gangs and eventually completely eliminate them, making the Cao Gangs the epitome of history. He fought with all his strength. This Cao Gang In order to fight for their own interests, the gang had this merger.
Yan Shi selected and banned all prostitution houses in the Hangzhou section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and built several cotton spinning workshops under the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau to house these women.
The Cao Gang's vitality was severely damaged, and the Nine Battalions did not dare to attack the government office. They killed the culprit Yan Shixuan, so they could only compete with each other for interests.
