The reason that prompted Gu Yanwu's heart was not only because he wanted to resist Qing, but also because he was optimistic about Wu Changqing's ability.

The weak can defeat the strong and kill thousands of Qing troops.

This ability is very rare. At least, among the previous rebel armies, there was no such capable person.

The only downside is that Wu Changqing made him feel a little aggressive and youthful. Of course, this kind of character is not a bad thing in a chaotic world, at least it is full of vigor, and it will not be as scared as other Ming soldiers when they hear the Eight Banners soldiers.

"I'm ashamed of what the general said." Gu Yanwu sighed.

Seeing that he was already showing signs of letting go, Wu Changqing continued to strike while the iron was hot, and said, "I don't know where the spiritual positions of Mr. and Mother are. I want to worship and accuse him of the crime."

Wu Changqing continued to let him go down the stairs. When everyone talks about this in the future, it can also be said that he was forced to rebel by Wu Changqing, not because he didn't want to keep his filial piety.

"this way please."

Gu Yanwu brought Wu Changqing to the ancestral hall, which was filled with spiritual seats.

The Gu family is a big family in Jiangdong. Gu Yanwu was adopted by his uncle who had no children and died young when he was very young, and was brought up by his adoptive mother Wang.

In the battle of Kunshan, Gu Yanwu not only died his biological mother, but also his two younger brothers. And his adoptive mother, Wang Shi, died of hunger strike after hearing that Changshu had fallen.

It can be said that the hatred between Gu Yanwu and the Qing court is deeper than that of Wu Changqing.

After some worship, Wu Changqing changed his tone: "Sir, don't take offense, I am impatient by nature, please forgive me if I offend Mr.

"Don't dare, what the general said is the truth, don't worry about it." Gu Yanwu said.

"Then let's talk about how to govern Jiading and other places. To be honest, I have the confidence to continue to win the military. But in governing the place, I urgently need help."

Gu Yanwu felt strange to hear Wu Changqing's confident words.

Usually only ignorant reckless people like to say such arrogant words, but Wu Changqing doesn't look like a reckless man. He has indeed created miracles in the military.

"Governing localities is difficult, but simple and easy..."

Gu Yanwu also took out several books, which were "Theory of Military System", "Theory of Tian Gong", "Theory of Situation" and "Theory of Money and Law" that he had previously written for the Hongguang court.

In response to the various shortcomings of Nanming, he proposed a series of military measures and financial resource consolidation measures from the strategic situation.

It is a pity that these measures were not implemented in time, and the Hongguang regime was quickly wiped out by the Qing army like a piece of paper.

Of course, even if it is not destroyed, it is impossible for Gu Yanwu to implement these strategies. There are too many stakeholders involved, and it will inevitably attract a lot of opposition.

Wu Changqing took a look at the theory of the situation and the theory of money law. As for the situation, because Gu Yanwu was limited by this era, he was not very clear.

The above shows that as long as Nanming can form a north-south confrontation with the Qing court, there is still a chance to expedition the north and restore the north.

History has shown that this view is a joke. The real situation is that Nanming is vulnerable, let alone the ability to counterattack, he can't even defend the south.

Of course, Gu Yanwu's vision is already first-class in this era, but he can't compare with Wu Changqing, who knows the trend of history.

As for the theory of money law, there are some policies to increase fiscal revenue.

You know, in fact, the decline of the Ming Dynasty was largely due to the word 'poor'. In a superpower with a population of more than 100 million, the imperial court's annual tax revenue is less than 4 million taels.

The army can't fight without money, and the soldiers of the garrison completely lose their combat effectiveness because they have no money. And where did all this money go? Basically, it has flowed into the hands of those big landlords and big bureaucrats.

Wu Changqing has only just revolted, and the troops are still relying on blood, so it is okay not to pay the bank for the time being. However, he knew that this kind of thing could not last long, and the sooner the payment was made, the better.

After all, blood can last for a while, but not forever. Moreover, there are only a small number of people who are really passionate, and most of the soldiers come to serve as soldiers because they can eat enough food and get paid.

If there is no money, this army will not last long at all.

"Mr. talented, I need help from someone like Mr. I hope Mr. can come out." Wu Changqing said.

Some administrative systems and measures proposed by Gu Yanwu, in fact, from the perspective of later generations, Wu Changqing, some places are relatively backward.

But he did not point out that he has neither the energy nor the conditions to carry out reforms now. He should focus his energy on the military now, and when he has a firm foothold, he will have time to reform in the future.

But now, it is enough to let Gu Yanwu toss and toss, to maintain the stability of the ruling area, and to be able to raise food and grass for him.

"Thanks to the generals looking up to me, I should do my part to help Daming."

Gu Yanwu bowed.

At this point, Wu Changqing showed a smile.

Although it was necessary to invite him in person, it was not as hard as Liu Bei, and he had to come three times in a row.

Of course, Gu Yanwu and Zhuge Liang couldn't compare.

"Sir, it is a blessing for the people of the world to be able to think about the common people in the world." Wu Changqing said in both hands.

Gu Yanwu, who made the decision, then brought a few servants and set off with Wu Changqing. He also knew that rebellion was a dangerous thing. The longer Wu Changqing stayed here, the greater the danger.

Back in Kunshan, Wu Changqing introduced Gu Yanwu to other civil servants in the city. But Wu Chang

Qing is now playing the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming, and respects the Ming Dynasty, so he has no right to appoint Gu Yanwu an official.

He could only give Gu Yanwu a nominal title of deputy governor of Wu Song, and then send someone to the southern court to request the canonization.

The communication in this era is extremely backward, and it is impossible to do this in ten days and a half months.

However, this has little impact. Anyway, Wu Changqing appointed Gu Yanwu to take charge of the internal affairs of several counties around Kunshan. Others dared not openly object.

In troubled times, the one with the gun is the uncle.

Some of the original civil servants were naturally dissatisfied with Gu Yanwu who had fallen from the sky, but because of Gu Yanwu's reputation, they did not dare to show it directly.

If it is an unknown person, I am afraid that the original civil servants will not accept it, and then take some small measures to make the stumbling block.

Daming's civil servants can't do anything else, but they are first-class in engaging in party disputes. It can be said that among the reasons for the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, party conflict was one of the most important reasons.

Wu Changqing was not in the mood to fight with these civil servants, so he simply left all these troubles to Gu Yanwu.

If Gu Yanwu can't even solve the problem with the civil servants in several small county towns, it will prove that the historical records are wrong, and the name of this product is actually overdone.
