"I wonder what you, Lord Qianhu, are doing here?"
Liu Rushi was a little suspicious of Guo Lin's intentions.
After listening to his wife's question, Qian Qianyi twitched his white beard and smiled. He was also very curious about Guo Lin's purpose. However, as a great scholar, he must be very good at cultivating qi. He calmed down and did not ask questions himself, letting his wife ask.
Guo Lin did not beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "Did Mr. Qian and his wife go to Huang Yuqi's camp in Zhoushan last year to reward the troops? Huang Yuqi has been accused and the Qing army is searching for him."
With a "bang" sound, the tea cup in Qian Qianyi's hand fell to the ground.
Old money is not afraid of anything but death.
Liu Rushi was calm: "Since Guo Qianhu has come to see the Yu couple, he must have a solution."
Seeing Liu Rushi's calmness and composure, Guo Lin couldn't help but secretly praise him. He was worthy of being the Lord of Hedong who was about to jump into the lake to die for his country. He is a hero among women, and he is not inferior to men!
"Mr. Qian, please don't be alarmed, madam. I have sent people to move Huang Yuqi to a safe place."
Huang Yuqi, whose courtesy name is Jiezhi and whose nickname is Dayu, is an awesome person, a very awesome Jiangyin native!
The Huang family was a large family in Jiangyin, and their property accounted for half of Jiangyin city. At that time, Yan and Chen Erdian refused to shave their hair and change clothes, and raised the flag of justice in Jiangyin. Huang Yuqi did not want the property, but his hair. He sold all the property, recruited troops, and followed Yan Yingyuan and Chen Ming.
He defended Jiangyin for more than eighty days. Following Yan Yingyuan's order, he rushed out of the city to ask for help. After the city was broken, he persisted in resisting the Qing in Jiangyin and Zhoushan.
Last year, Huang Yuqi was determined to do something big, so he sent troops from Zhoushan to attack Changzhou. He was short of military pay, so he asked Qianyi to borrow money.
Since Lao Qian listened to his wife's advice and rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, he has done so sincerely. Hearing that Huang Yuqi was short of military pay, without saying a word, he sold a few books at home and collected five thousand taels of silver.
Not counting the money, the two Lius also prepared some food and clothing and went to the Huang Yuqi Military Camp in Zhoushan to reward the soldiers in person.
As a result, when Huang Yuqi's rebel army went to Chongming, it encountered a hurricane and lost most of it. Coupled with the roundup by the Qing navy, the rebel army failed.
Huang Yuqi is lurking in Tongzhou Fabao Temple.
Even after hiding in the temple, Huang Yishi's thoughts of rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty did not stop. He wrote a poem: "Even if you go against the will of heaven, you will never know how to return it when the sun goes down."
There are so many traitors!
When he was in Taizhou, a guy named Sheng Mingru reported him. The Qing army found out that he had become a monk and went to various temples to hunt him down.
"Where is Zen Master Yinbai?"
A fat man with an astonishing weight entered the Dharma Treasure Temple with a smile on his face and a fat face, like a Maitreya Buddha.
The monk who knew the guest hurriedly greeted him: "Amitabha, what is the name of the donor?"
The fat man's entourage replied: "This is a well-known good man in Tongzhou besides the king of my family. I heard that Zen Master Yinbai has profound Buddhist teachings, so I came here to ask for help."
Huang Yuqi, who was hiding in the side hall, sneered secretly, "As soon as I arrived at Fabao Temple, you knew that my Dharma was profound? I must be the eagle dog of the Manchu people.
It’s a blessing, not a curse, but it’s a curse that cannot be avoided.
Huang Yuqi hid his sharp blade and walked out of the temple without being humble: "Haha! The poor monk does know something about Buddhism, and he is especially good at giving salvation to others. What does the donor ask for from the poor monk?"
Full of energy and a fierce look on his face.
The big fat man secretly rejoiced, what a young man, we Jinyiwei are short of such people.
"Don't be surprised Huang Jiezhi, I am also from Jiangyin."
"Are you also from Jiangyin?"
The big fat man's tears came as soon as he could, and he even sang a song: "People from Yixing, a gun. People from Wuxi, a scent of fragrance. People from Jingjiang, knelt down on the beach quickly. People from Changzhou, sacrificed their daughter and mother." People from Jiangyin have fought for more than eighty days and would rather die than surrender."
"This! This! This!"
After listening to this song, Zen Master Yinbai could no longer calm down. At that time, the Jiangyin rebels sang this song and fought bloody battles with the Tartars. After the city was broken, the Qing army massacred the city, and there were only fifty-three people left in Jiangyin City!
"Brother Huang, to be honest, I am under the command of Jingjianguo, Wang Lian of the Hundreds of Jinyi Guards in Tongzhou. My subordinate has received news that someone has reported Brother Huang, and the Qing army is about to arrest him. Brother Huang, please move to another place quickly. ”.
Huang Yuqi sighed: "The ground is smelly and full of wolves and dogs. Where can Huang hide?"
"Master Xiao from Qianhu respected Brother Huang for his loyalty, and went to Master Ma, the commander of Jinyiwei, to obtain an official status for you with the rank of Seventh Rank General Banner. If Brother Huang does not dislike it, I will eat from the same pot with you from now on."
Huang Yuqi was a little hesitant. He still had two sons that he couldn't take away.
Wang Lian smiled: "Brother Huang, are you worried about the two young masters? Mr. Xiao has sent people to send the two young masters to Zhoushan. Your task is to lurk at Huang Binqing's place in Zhoushan."
Huang Yuqi sighed. At this point, there is nothing more to say.
"I am willing to join Jinyiwei".
Wang Lian was overjoyed and took out a waist card and gave it to Huang Yuqi.
"Brother Huang, take care. Someone will contact Brother Huang. The code for contact is: 'Mancheng', 'Zhonglie'!"
??
The winter in Beijing is extremely cold. The third-class Viscount Liu Jueye of the Liu Mansion on Shuntian Front Street fell ill.
I heard that Mr. Zhao on the street was very skilled in Chinese medicine, so my family hurriedly went to invite him.
It's good to make money. Mr. Zhao carried the medicine box and slowly followed his family to the Liu Mansion.
Lord Liu was lying on the bed, his chest was tight, his face was red, and he was sighing.
Doctor Zhao put two fingers on his body to check for pulse.
Lord Liu, whose real name is Liu Zeqing, was originally one of the four towns in Jiangbei during the Hongguang Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. He was granted the title of Marquis of Dongping. When the Qing army attacked, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty without firing an arrow.
I thought that with tens of thousands of troops surrendering, his contribution was so great that he would be indispensable for rewards from the Qing Dynasty. Who would have thought that he was only awarded a third-class viscount. What's even more annoying is that the military power was also lifted. The regent "nurtured" him In Beijing, he was given two maids. In that case, enjoy it well and leave the matter of leading the troops in the war.
How can that be done? Don't look at Liu Zeqing, he has a white face and red lips, is beautiful in appearance, can read and write poems, and is quite elegant. But he is a military general, and he is used to being a general. If he has no soldiers, what else is he called Liu Marshal?
Liu Dashuai was ill, with chest tightness and asthma, so he asked Dr. Zhao.
"What disease does this handsome have?"
Doctor Zhao had a serious look on his face: "Commander, please step aside."
"Could it be that if you withdraw from the left and right, it is a terminal illness?"
Marshal Liu was startled.
Seeing no one around, Zhao Langzhong said leisurely: "The Marquis of Dongping has a heart disease, and heart disease requires heart medicine."
Liu Zeqing was furious: "Who are you? How dare you claim my title in the Ming Dynasty!"
Upon hearing the title, Langzhong Zhao sighed: "The commander-in-chief was made a marquis in the Ming Dynasty, but in the Qing Dynasty he was only a third-class viscount. He is not worthy of it!"
"How dare you laugh at me? Did you know that I have two black apes?"
Liu Zeqing has a delicate appearance but a ferocious temperament. He has two chimpanzees in his house, and they are always there when called. Once he invited guests to dinner, and ordered the chimpanzees to toast. When the guests saw that the orangutans looked fierce, they did not dare to drink. Liu Zeqing laughed and said, "Are you scared?" A person takes a death row prisoner and kills him, takes the brain, marrow, heart and liver, puts them in a vat, mixes them with wine, and lets the orangutan give him food and drink. If he eats the liver and marrow, the color will change.
Such a fierce god, Mr. Zhao is not afraid of him.
"How beautiful is the Eguan Bodai? Does the Marquis of Dongping want to keep the money and rat tail to meet his ancestors? Why not abandon the secret and turn to the light?"
Lieutenant General Zhao emphasized the word "明" very strongly.
In fact, Liu Zeqing was already dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty. He once told his old subordinates Zheng Longfang and Li Huajing: "The Qing Dynasty does not know how to use people, and the national destiny will not be long." He also sent someone to contact Lu Jianguo, and asked Li Huajing to secretly go to his hometown of Caoxian County. , recruit troops and buy horses.
Liu Zeqing felt that in addition to Lu Jianguo, it would also be good to take the line of Jing Jianguo.
"Who are you?"
"Jinyiwei Qianhu Ma Xiongfei"
Liu Zeqing said: "A small official with a big fart".
Ma Xiongfei puffed up his chest: "My brother, under the supervision of King Jing of the country, the Jin Yiwei commanded the Qianshi Ma Jixiang."

Zichuan City was rebuilt into a stone city in the 9th year of Chongzhen's reign. The city is solid, with a perimeter of eight miles and four gates.
Groups of rebels are hunting down the landlords and gentry who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
It is an old rule of the rebel army to confiscate the property of the landlords and gentry who colluded with the Qing Dynasty and distribute it to the local poor farmers.
When he was in Gaoyuan, he confiscated the property of Zhang Shenghu, a landlord who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and executed Wu Zhenhua, the magistrate of the Qing Dynasty. He called the people of the county by name and hunted down traitors; when he was in Changshan County, he captured Zhou Maochen, the magistrate of Qing County, alive; in Zichuan, he executed Da
The traitor Sun Zhichi.
Xie Qian's rebel army killed traitors ruthlessly, and when they caught traitors, they often killed their entire family.
So much so that in Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Liaozhai Studio" in the Qing Dynasty, there is an article "Ghosts Cry" that says: "All officials are dens for thieves, and ghosts can be seen in the daytime." Wang Peixun's "Xiangyuan Yijiu Lu" also records: "Blood
It flows into a well until it is no longer drinkable."
Some people think the killing is too heavy, while others applaud it.
When the great scholar Gu Yanwu learned the news that Xie Qian had executed Sun Zhixian, he was extremely happy. He specially wrote a poem in "A Journey to Zichuan" to commemorate it: "Zhang Bosong, cleverly played the memorial, and the big banners and high teeth surrounded the front and back. After dismissing the general seal, he returned to the middle of the house.
, the soldiers and drums of the Eastern Kingdom met. When the drums met, the flags were hunted, and we surrounded Zichuan City three times. We surrounded Zichuan City three times, opened the city gate, and took one of your heads to thank Yuanyuan."
Large carts, pulling heavy grain bags, approached the Zichuan city gate.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
A middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy businessman came forward and said loudly: "Please report your thanks to the leader, Jinan Grain Merchant. I heard that the leader Xingyi Division came here to reward him."
Xie Qian met Gao Jian and asked, "Where does the Duke come from?"
Gao Jian pointed to the south: "I am Gao Jian, who is under the command of King Jing of the country and is guarding thousands of households in royal robes. I have been ordered by His Highness to appease the leader Xie."
"Appease me?"
Xie Qian smiled miserably: "The Tartars invaded the Central Plains, and the people of Qilu eagerly awaited King Wang's Northern Expedition. Where is King King after all these years?"
Gao Jian blushed. Ever since Hongguang, the emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty only wanted to settle in the south of the Yangtze River and had never launched a decent Northern Expedition. It is understandable that the Shandong elders have resentment towards the court.
However, since you want to appease others, your momentum cannot be weak.
Gao Jian replied enthusiastically: "Prince Jing, who was in charge of the country, was different from other kings. Since he was in charge of the country, he had worked hard to govern and thought about restoring the Central Plains. He expelled Li Chengdong in Guangzhou, defeated the puppet King Sanshun in Huguang, and regained Changsha. The world was excited.
If the imperial court has no intention of restoring Shandong, what should I do here? Don’t hesitate to thank the leader, and return to the imperial court as soon as possible to participate in this grand event."
Xie Qian thought for a while: "How will the imperial court arrange for our rebel army?"
"This time, I brought an imperial edict to Chief Xie: General Zhaoyi, Commander-in-Chief of Zichuan; in addition, thirty blank edicts, ten thousand taels of silver, and twenty thousand shi of grain. Originally, I wanted to give Xie
The general wanted to transport some armor and weapons, but the Tatars were very strict and couldn’t transport these things."
Xie Qian sighed: "The imperial court has not forgotten the Qilu elders after all! If you come, please invite thousands of households into the back hall, and I will entertain you with a small amount of wine."
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, there is no need to be polite. I am in a hurry to go to Fan County to appease the two leaders Ren Qi and Zhang Qi."
Xie Qian laughed loudly: "Ren Qi and Zhang Qi are my brothers from Shandong. It is my responsibility to recruit them."
Under the guidance of the Xie Qian faction, Gao Jian came to Puzhou and Fan County.
At first glance, there are big elm trees everywhere. No wonder the Qing army called Ren Qi and Zhang Qi "elm thieves".
When they arrived in Fan County, Gao Jian was taken into the tunnel.
The Yulin Army fought a tunnel battle with the Qing Army. Under Yulin, there are criss-crossing tunnels that are hundreds of miles long. Gao Jian built it underground and walked for a day before reaching the destination. He secretly sighed: "The ghosts appear and disappear, the ghosts appear and disappear!"<
/p>
Thanks to Xie Qian's introduction, the recruitment of Ren Qi and Zhang Qi went smoothly.
Zhu Hengjia made Qi the general of Huaiyuan and the deputy general of Jiangzhou; he made Zhang Qi the general of Dingyuan and the deputy general of Fan County; he also gave the two of them blank imperial edicts and some money and grain.
??
In the mountainous area of Fuzhou, Jiangxi, the censor of Youqiandu of the Longwu Dynasty, Jie Chongxi, the governor of Hedong, were receiving Zhu Hengjia's envoys, Wang Jiezhi, the governor of Jiangxi, and Qianhu Luohu, the Jinyi Guard who escorted Wang Jiezhi.
Wang Jiezhi was the number one scholar in the new subject. Zhu Hengjia originally arranged for him to work as an editor (seventh grade) in the Hanlin Academy. But he wanted to do something practical and didn't like staying in the Hanlin Academy.
Zhu Hengjia couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm to serve the country, so he made him a Jiangxi patrol commissioner (seventh grade) to recruit Jiangxi rebels for him.
Wang Jiezhi and Wang Fuzhi, two brothers, are both great Confucians and are respected by scholars. Jie Chongxi was a Jinshi in the tenth year of Chongzhen, and they have something in common
"Shi Zi, do you want to appease me on behalf of Prince Jing? But Prince Jing is not the direct descendant of Taizu, and Prince Lu is the orthodox one!"
Wang Jie smiled: "Zhu Wan, I am the most opposed to those rotten scholars who only study and do nothing. How can you be so pedantic like them?"
"Oh? What does Shizi mean by this?"
"When the Tartars invade China, they are subjugating the world, not the country. The world is about to perish, so what's the point of worrying about blood? King Lu is the orthodox king. He is far away and weak. Can he fly to Jiangxi to rescue the rebel army? Jing
The king is a heroic lord, with hundreds of thousands of fierce warriors, and he is close to Jiangxi, so he can be rescued in an instant. Besides, no matter how thin the bloodline of King Jing is, he is also a descendant of the old Zhu family. Why can't he supervise the country? Shi Zi, you must not do it, because of your own stupidity.
It’s a big mistake for the people of Jiangxi!”
Jie Chongxi thought for a long time and bowed to Wang Jie: "Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading. I am willing to submit to King Jing."
??
In the Ziguang Pavilion of the Royal City of Guilin, Zhu Hengjia is summoning his two spy chiefs: Tao Cheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Ma Jixiang, the commander of the Jinyiwei.
Ziguang Pavilion is the place where Zhu Hengjia secretly summons ministers. Ministers who are not close friends are not summoned here.
During this period, Jin Yiwei's work was very good. Zhu Hengjia was promoted to Tao to Commander Shi (the third rank), and Ma Jixiang was promoted to Commander Tongzhi (the third rank).
"Tao Qing, Ma Qing, tell me about the Jinyiwei's activities in the captured areas."
Tao Cheng cheered up: "Jianguo and Jinyiwei have made breakthroughs during this period. They contacted Qian Qianyi, Jie Chongxi, Xie Qian, Ren Qi, Zhang Qi, Liu Zeqing and many other anti-Qing forces."
Ma Jixiang also hurriedly reported: "In addition to recruiting anti-Qing forces, the Jinyiwei also instigated 73 anti-rent and anti-tax incidents in various places, and assassinated 19 people."
Zhu Hengjia nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, dear ministers! Now the imperial treasury is empty and we need to rest and recuperate. But we rest and we cannot let the Tatars rest. The Jin Yiwei must cause trouble behind the Tatars and make sure that the Tatars have no time to rest." .
"I will obey the order."
Ma Jixiang thought for a while and said, "I have two more things to report."
"Oh, sir, what do you want? Tell me."
"First, the rebels of the Forty-eight Villages in Qihuang, Anhui, appointed Zhu Tongqi, a descendant of the Ning clan, as the king of Shicheng. I sent people to appease Zhu Tongqi, but unexpectedly he actually said that King Lu was the orthodox one."
Zhu Hengjia smiled contemptuously: "They are just some mountain kings, don't pay attention to him."
"I have sent people to secretly recruit Zhu Tongqi's subordinates Fu Mengbi, Fu Qianzhi, Gui Chan, Monk Yitang, etc. Fu Qianzhi and Gui Chan intend to return to the supervisory state."
Zhu Hengjia laughed loudly: "Ma Qing, you have a solution like this. You are worthy of being Gu's right-hand man. What is the other thing?"
"The second is that I received news that Jin Shengheng, the governor of Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty, seemed to have the intention to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and return to the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Hengjia was stunned: "The general trajectory of history does not seem to have changed because of his time travel. What should come will eventually come!"
