The Lin Maomao was a ship on Zhenjiang. There were not many troops stationed in the Jiangbei area. After crossing the river, she went to Yangzhou and prepared to go north along the canal. When Hao Yaoqi led his troops to occupy Yangzhou last year, Yan Ermei and others set out to the city first to persuade them to surrender.
In addition, Liu Zeqing abandoned the city and fled. After thinking about it for a long time, the Yangzhou army and people made the choice to open the city to welcome the Shun army.
At that time, Hao Yaoqi only brought more than a dozen personal guards into the city, and the army was stationed outside the city to rest overnight. Hao Yaoqi's boldness and courage and the invulnerability of his troops left a good impression on the gentry and people of Yangzhou.
Because the soldiers guarding the candidates for female officers had to go to the city first to report to the mighty general Zhu Youzhi and the governor of Yangzhou Liu Zhongtai, Lin Maomao and other candidates for female officers went to Yangzhou city to rest first.
Fireworks and fireworks in Yangzhou remain as prosperous as before. The army has passed by, but the streets have not stopped. The river is surging, the rocks on the shore remain the same, there are many tourists, and the merchants traveling north have not slowed down even in the midsummer heat.
The Shunjun guards escorting the female officers specially brought wet towels and tea to relieve the heat of each of Lin Maomao and the others. The guards were still very young, with a simple and hopeful light in their eyes. They were the same as Lin Maomao in the south of the Yangtze River.
The temperament of the defeated Ming army that I saw at that time was completely different.
After he took the female officers to their accommodation, he pointed in the direction of the canal and said:
"In the past, the soldiers crossed the river south from here. I heard Shang Feng said that after the country is settled, this long river will be managed again. After the founding of the Dashun Dynasty, there will be many new policies."
When Lin Maomao was studying medicine in Hangzhou, he also dealt with many people in the world. Among them were traveling merchants and the leaders of the Cao Gang on the Grand Canal. He also heard about the various malpractices caused by water transportation.
She heard the guards of the Shun Army nonchalantly mention that the Shun Dynasty would regulate canal transportation in the future, and thought that even an ordinary guard was ashamed to speak so loudly. It seemed that the New Dynasty was very determined to regulate the canal.
The female officials are all ladies from well-off families, and few of them have traveled far. The journey from Jinling to Yangzhou is not far, but in the future everyone will have to go from Yangzhou to Xuzhou along the canal, and then from Xuzhou to Kaifeng, a long journey.
It's a hundred miles, and I don't know what I will encounter along the way.
Many people feel restless and run to bed as soon as they arrive at their residence, as if they can forget all their worries as long as they fall asleep and rest.
Only Lin Maomao didn't feel the hard work of traveling all the way. She had left her hometown with her father for several years. When her father was an official in Hangzhou, she was very restless.
In Yuzhong, people often gossiped.
Later, his father moved to Jiangyin as the county magistrate, and Lin Maomao followed him from Hangzhou to Jiangyin County. The local county people were smart and versatile, and business travelers from the north and south often brought all kinds of news and interesting things from around the world.
At that time, as soon as Lin Maomao heard that there were caravan travelers coming back from the north, they would immediately find an excuse to stick there and desperately inquire about the various drastic changes that had taken place in the Central Plains.
What she loves to hear most is the story about Mr. Li Li Laiheng.
Although many people in the south of the Yangtze River slandered Li Laiheng as "Little Li Thief" and "Little Tiger Thief", Lin Maomao heard from businessmen who had personally visited Xiangyang and Kaifeng that Li Laiheng was solemn, calm, noble and indifferent, and a man who came out of the mud.
The unsullied white man.
Although many gentry and people who came from the north had deep complaints against the Chuang Army in the past two years, they always insulted the Chuang Army as "bandits" and "thieves". But these people often had good comments about Mr. Li.
Some people say that Mr. Li is the Pu Shanggong among thieves, saying that he is not actually the son of Li Zicheng (he is not actually! He is a grandson!), but the son of Li Jingbai, the minister of the Tianqi Dynasty.
There are rumors in Jiangnan that Mr. Li was imprisoned because his father was framed and wronged by a traitor. However, he was good at charity and had a good relationship with the people of Henan. Many local people were greatly shocked when they heard the news that Li Laiheng was imprisoned.
indignation.
At that time, there was a heroine named Daoma Dan, who was originally a singer in Prince Fu's palace. She was bullied by Prince Fu, but Mr. Li redeemed her life.
King Fu of the Ming Dynasty was jealous of Master Li because of this, so he used a trick to tamper with the court laws and insisted on immediately escorting Li Laiheng to the execution ground and executing him.
On the day of execution, Daomadan rode a red horse and rushed into the city of Kaifeng. She fought her way to the execution ground with one sword and one person. King Fu's five tigers and eight dragons were no match for the heroine, so she had to ask Kaifeng's chief military officer Chen Yongfu to lead troops to suppress it.
However, Mr. Li once taught Chen Yongfu's son. Chen Yongfu could not bear Zhongliang being framed to death for King Fu, and refused to send troops. King Fu was furious and sacrificed the Shangfang sword given by Emperor Wanli back then, and wanted to kill Chen Yongfu and Li Laiheng together.
The soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng City were extremely angry after hearing this. Regardless of the obstruction by the officers and soldiers of Prince Fu's Mansion, they all rushed into the execution ground and rescued Mr. Li, Dao Ma Dan, Chen Yongfu and others. Then they rushed together to burn down Prince Fu's Mansion and captured Prince Fu.
Got up and lit sky lanterns.
Li Laiheng saw that the people of Henan were so troubled because of him, and he was afraid that if the court blamed him, many innocent people would be implicated, so he wanted to go to Beijing alone and bear the responsibility of killing King Fu alone.
However, both Dao Ma Dan and Chen Yongfu advised him not to throw himself into a trap. At that time, Emperor Chongzhen was deceived by traitors in the court and appointed the Manchu Shaman Huang Taiji as the Imperial Advisor of the East China Sea. With blind trust and chaos in the court, Master Li entered the capital alone. Wasn't he throwing himself into a trap?
At this time, the news that Li Jingbai, the former minister of the dynasty, was executed in the capital, reached Kaifeng. The local people also found the letter written by Prince Fu to Emperor Chongzhen from Prince Fu's mansion, and then they learned that Li Laiheng was the orphan of Emperor Tianqi.
After Emperor Tianqi was poisoned by Chongzhen, he ordered his minister Wei Zhongxian to risk his own life to rescue Li Laiheng and send him to Li Jingbai's home in Henan to raise him secretly. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongxian was later killed by Chongzhen, and the matter was revealed by Wei Zhongxian's men. Chongzhen
Therefore, the emperor ordered the royal guards to go out to search for Li Laiheng.
At this time, the people of Henan tried to persuade Li Laiheng to ascend the throne as emperor in Kaifeng, bring order to the chaos, and restore order to the world. But Li Laiheng was a humble man and only claimed to be a civil and military marshal who upheld righteousness from heaven.
Later, Mr. Li joined forces with the Chuang army to dominate the world, defeating the Ming Dynasty and resisting the captives, until today they have unified the country.
Lin Maomao put away the book "A Brief History of the Suppression of Ming Dynasty" that she enjoyed reading the most. The pages were half torn, and the author could only be seen from the cover as Liu Jingting.
The Shunjun guard was surprised to see that among all the candidates for female officials, only Lin Maomao remained calm and composed without any worries after arriving in Yangzhou.
I also saw that Lin Maomao was holding a romance storybook published by Kendeji. He turned over it over and over again, which made him even more amused.
"Lin Shanggong, Lin Shanggong, we will soon go thousands of miles away, to Kaifeng, or even to Tianbao Mansion. Let's have a good rest! Don't look at it. We are going to Kaifeng in the future. Don't have too many books like this.
There are any versions you want to read. I also read a book about the story of the star that broke the army and descended to earth, possessed our Prince Jin, smashed the Ming Dynasty with his fist, and chopped off a hundred thousand soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty with his palm."
