Jinshui Hutong behind Zhengyangmen was originally called Ge Lao Hutong. It is said that many cabinet bachelors from the former Ming Dynasty lived here.
The traitorous minister Yan Song lived in this alley.
The last bachelor who lived in this alley was Wei Zaode, the last chief minister of the cabinet of the Chongzhen Dynasty. This man was good at rhetoric and eloquence, and he was especially able to figure out the thoughts of Emperor Chongzhen. Therefore, he became a bachelor of Dongge at the age of 38 and became the founding father of the Ming Dynasty.
The youngest chief assistant ever.
Unfortunately, not long after Wei Zaode became the chief minister, Li Zicheng's peasant uprising army approached the capital. In order to raise military pay, Emperor Chongzhen called on all officials to donate money to support the army.
As the top official in the Prime Minister's court, Academician Wei not only did not donate a penny, but also took the lead in opposing the emperor's salary collection, and he did this in a hurry.
Seeing that Li Zicheng was about to invade Beijing, Academician Wei did nothing and did not attend the court meeting. He hid at home and waited for the peasant army to break through the city.
The reason was that he believed that he was still young and did not need to die for the Ming Dynasty, and he was very talented. Li Zicheng's subordinates were all weak-legged, so he would definitely pay attention to him as the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, and thus became the Prime Minister of the Great Shun Dynasty.
After Li Zicheng arrived in Beijing, he summoned Wei Zaode and asked him why he did not die for his country.
The great scholar of Wei said frankly: "I am preparing to serve the new dynasty. How dare I die?"
I originally thought that I would be able to be used by Li Zicheng, but I didn't want to turn around and was thrown into prison and asked for donations to support him.
Only after having ten of his fingers cut off with a stick did Grand Scholar Wei hand over 70,000 taels of silver. But people did not believe that the chief minister of the cabinet only had 70,000 taels of silver, so they continued to torture him. Finally, he was tortured for five days and five nights.
Academician Wei died of a split brain in prison, and his son was also executed.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Jinshui Hutong was directly occupied by the princes and nobles of Manchuria, and the house of the great scholar of Wei was also occupied by Abatai, the prince of Raoyu County.
Over time, Jinshui Hutong became a famous Daizi Hutong in the city.
There are red belts and yellow belts.
There are three families of the prince and his family, and there are countless other princes and generals living there.
They are all children of Aixinjueluo, and they all live in the same alley. Of course they have been playing together since childhood. It is impossible for them to go out and play with the children of ordinary bannermen, let alone play with the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Han children outside the city.
There is a more ferocious brother who takes his younger brothers out to bully other children every day, even those who are older than them.
The bannermen and children around them were also afraid of them, but there was nothing they could do about it. Their Ama was a higher official than theirs, so they really couldn't afford to offend them.
It was not very early in the morning. A group of seven or eight-year-old Jueluo children gathered at the entrance of the alley to play. At first they played Galaha, a game that is favorite among bannermen children. But while they were playing, several Jueluo children started to play.
Fight daddy.
A young brother named Yongqing who entered the palace of Bafen Town said to his companions with a proud look on his face: "Do you know? My grandma has a white sparrow. It is a rare thing. It screams loudly and crisply!
"
"What's so great about this? Let me tell you, my Amma can sing opera. As soon as he gets on stage and opens his voice, the shouts of color from below are overwhelming!"
The speaker was a child from the Zhenguo General's family, named Anter.
As soon as I heard the name, I knew it was not a yellow belt but a red belt.
The words of the two children made a child named Mianqiu next to him look dissatisfied. He pointed at Yongqing and said, "The cage your Ama keeps the white sparrows in belongs to my Amaza!"
After saying that, he pointed at Anter and said: "When your Ama came on stage, it was my Ama who brought people to support you!"
Mian begged his Ama title to be the general of the auxiliary country.
The three children were talking to each other about their father. Suddenly they found that their companion Xiao Dezi had not spoken, so they curiously asked him: "What does your Ama do?"
Xiao Dezi thought for a moment and looked proud: "My Ama can speak the octagonal drum!"
The octagonal drum is similar to what the Han people call cross talk.
"Ah, your Ama is the best!"
The three children gave a thumbs up together and shouted for Xiao Dezi to take them to listen to his Amma playing the octagonal drum. While they were making a fuss, someone from the Dutong Yamen came to the entrance of the alley.
There were several groups, and each group had a pile of paperwork in their hands. They didn't know what they were doing. When they arrived, they went into the alley, and soon they were all in a hurry.
A group of children were watching the fun, and within a short time Yongqing saw his elder brother Yongling coming out with others.
A second look revealed that he didn't come out on his own, but someone from the Yamen pulled him out.
He quickly shouted: "Brother, what are you going to do?"
"Brother, they asked me to go to war! They said they were going to Jingzhou. Is it possible to go there? Old Soochow is thinking about it. Mr. Guan even died there. If I go there, won't I die!"
Yong Ling struggled and refused to go. He hugged the bolt horse stone at the entrance of the alley and refused to let go no matter how the recruiters persuaded him.
Over there, many clan members were pulled out one after another, and many Amma and Er Niang came out with them, all of them crying and shouting to heaven and earth.
"Which Aqina and Seth are slandering the imperial court and asking us to go into battle to kill the enemy!"
"What the hell, our Qing Dynasty has no soldiers, and we have to go to Aixinjueluo to work hard!"
"My grandma, who is so full that she doesn't know where she is anymore, asked us Aisin Gioro to go to the battlefield. Isn't this a curse on us to destroy the Qing Dynasty!"
"..."
The young brothers who received the conscription order felt more aggrieved than the last. Seeing the stubborn resistance of Yongling at the entrance of the alley, they immediately imitated his example and resisted the conscription one after another, making all the officials who came to be conscripted anxious.
"Amma, mother, if I don't go, I can't go! ... The battle in Wuchang was so brutal that all the Han people in Jingzhou were massacred. If we want to win, we can't turn defeat into victory unless Tan Daoji is reincarnated!"
"
"Amma, if you really let them take me away, would you believe that I would throw myself to death?"
In order to avoid the conscription order, a red belt climbed up the wall to the locust tree next to the yard, pretending to jump.
He was so frightened that his mother stamped her feet anxiously.
Seeing this, Xi Fujin quickly said: "Master Beile, let's hurry up and recommend Tan Daoji to lead the army on the expedition. Don't let that bullshit general Wang spoil our children again!"
"That makes sense, that makes sense!"
Everyone around him agreed.
"Brothers, listen to me. The thieves who are making a big fuss in Huguang are actually from Xiao Jinchuan. How many soldiers and generals has the imperial court sent over the years to fight against them? Have they ever won?"
"If you ask us to go this time, you are obviously asking us to die. Listen to me, brothers. We would rather be in pieces than in ruins. There is nothing we can do today to go!"
When Yong Ling saw that everyone was making a fuss and refused to go, Yong Ling immediately became energetic and stirred there.
"I said, please don't let the children go... A few years ago, the imperial court sent troops to fight against Burma, but they didn't defeat them. I thought, instead of letting our children go to the battlefield to fight against the traitors, why not spend some money?
Please ask Myanmar to send troops to help our Qing Dynasty pacify the thieves. It’s a matter of spending some money!"
"That makes sense, that makes sense!"
The crowd echoed.
"Stop making trouble, this is a recruitment order from the General King. If any of you refuse to go, the General King will not spare anyone!"
Zhang Jing, who was ordered to recruit, saw that none of the clan members were willing to go, so he had no choice but to move out the new general to suppress these clan members.
"What bullshit General King? Isn't that the Jaap Liu from Xiliu Hutong? I beat this girl until she grew up. When did this girl become our General King!"
Yong Lingqi didn't get anywhere, so he simply shouted: "Come on, follow me to Deshengmen. We want to find out whether his Japanese surname is Aisin Gioro, or whether our surname is Aisin Gioro!"
"Yes, Qin Hui has appeared in the court, and he is going to harm us Aixinjueluo. We can't let him get used to him. Let's go to all the men!"
"Just go, I've never been afraid of anyone in my life! Go somewhere and see if I can't scold him to death!"
"..."
The red and yellow belts started making a fuss, and with the support of the Ama girls behind them, the scene suddenly got out of control. I don’t know which Sula wrapper got the master’s instruction, and actually beat the gang of officials who came to recruit them.
, the officials were so frightened that they ran and jumped to escape.
The matter is not over yet. There are a large group of red belts and yellow belts in Jinshui Alley. They really took advantage of them and led them to the Deshengmen school grounds under the guidance of Yongling.
As soon as the team here came out of the alley, they ran into several other teams. When they asked each other, they all wanted to scold Qin Hui from Guiziliu.
The more people there are, the more bold they become. Plus, they are all Aisin Gioro, and their aura is extremely powerful.
The closer we get to Deshengmen, the more teams arrive, and they become a majestic and beautiful scenery all over the city.
In the main campus of Deshengmen, General Wang was arranging matters for the expedition, including the order of deployment, food, grass, baggage, ordnance supplies, and other arrangements.
Since you are going on an expedition, you must look like you are going out on an expedition so that you can be worthy of the Qing Dynasty.
Just as he was talking, the camp gate came to report that a large number of people were approaching the camp gate.
Before Jia Liu could figure out what was going on, a chorus of thousands of people could be heard in his ears: "Guiziliu, I'll fuck your mother!"
