Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

"Fight against the demons, fight against the demons, it will be hard for the people to live without destroying the demons. Open the door early to worship the saints, and discipline everyone, big or small, is happy.

Looking forward to Daming, welcoming Daming, opening the gates of the city to vote for Daming, and when Daming comes, he will not be a slave.

Equal fields, equal taxes, and great harmony in the world will be tomorrow.

Can't help the sea, can't help the words, the world is a public saint. "

When Fan Chengmo received a letter sent by Yixin from the Taizhou prefect line, knowing that Zhu Heqi's "[-] troops" had captured Wenzhou by land, and forced Tian Fengji, the governor of Zhejiang, to hang himself.

That good servant of the Zhengbai Banner in Manchuria, Yixin Yixin, the prefect of Taizhou Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty, is hiding in an abandoned private school in Taizhou Fucheng because of the literary inquisition, and all he can hear are the joyous singing voices of Taizhou people——Taizhou Fucheng The people in the city are singing the ballad "Welcome to the Ming Dynasty", warmly welcoming the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty led by the third grandson of Zhu to enter the city!

Xian Yixin's luck is much stronger than that of his boss Tian Fengji. Although he doesn't trust the regiments in Taizhou, he didn't let them enter the city to help defend. hold fast.

But the result was the same!

When the banners of "Dagong under Heaven" and "Great Harmony on Earth" appeared outside the city, the folks in Taizhou Prefecture and Linhai City sang the ballad "Welcome to the Ming Dynasty" to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

And the people in the city even cut their pigtails and braids just like the festival. Some old people even found out carefully preserved Ming Dynasty clothes and put them on, and then everyone went to the streets to welcome the Ming Dynasty.

However, Xian Yixin did not allow people to be blocked in the yamen, but under the cover of a few loyal servants, he got out of a dog hole in the back garden of the magistrate's yamen—he is the second generation of slaves of Zhengbaiqi, and has now carried Entering Zhengbai Banner Manchuria, he is a first-class slave.So he still has a few "slaves" who, like Yan Baoyi, want to be slaves but can't.At critical moments, these people could risk their lives to protect his master and escape into an abandoned private school.

This private school has been around for quite some time. It existed in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and it was once a well-known academy in Taizhou.But after the Qing Dynasty entered the south of the Yangtze River, it was no longer possible, especially after the storm of the "Ming History Case" swept over, a large number of private schools in Taizhou collapsed, and this one was among them.

And after Xian Yixin took office in Taizhou, he was relentless about the literary inquisition. Even though Emperor Kangxi was already holding a council meeting in a hypocritical manner, he still worked very hard to engage in literary inquisition, and successfully brought down two or three academies.

But he never expected that the ignorant people in Taizhou could learn the ballads of "Welcome to the Ming Dynasty" without going through academies and private schools.

In fact, the Yanping Palace in Taiwan had the means to infiltrate and smuggle the coast of Zhejiang even in the years when the Qing Dynasty implemented the sea ban the most.And after Kangxi abolished the policy of moving borders and banning seas, the infiltration activities of the Yanping Palace and Daming Military Division's Office on Zhejiang became even crazier and extremely effective-although moving borders and banning seas was a big mistake, abandoning it is undoubtedly a big mistake. Surrendering to the anti-Qing forces in Zhejiang!

The civilians who were seriously injured by the relocation of the Forbidden Sea will not be grateful for Kangxi's concession policy under the vigorous rise of the new Ming Dynasty.

And those real "rebels" who were suppressed were revived with full blood because of Kangxi's concession.

The government officials who were lackeys of the Manchu Qing before felt very panic and wanted to seek refuge in the new Ming Dynasty in order to atone for their sins.

As for the local tyrants, they saw clearly the weakness of the Qing court, and all wanted to speculate on the revolution...

As a result, the grassroots rule of the Qing Dynasty in the coastal prefectures of Zhejiang collapsed in an instant, and everyone was looking forward to and welcoming the Great Ming.

"Master, it's already done, please go ahead!"

At this time, an old servant of Xian Yixin had come to him crying and reported a life-threatening matter to him.

Xian Yixin sighed, then knelt down facing the north, kowtowed three times, stood up again, adjusted his official uniform, and followed the servants to a "private room".

This is a hanged "private room". The most high-grade three-foot white silk produced in Suzhou has been tied to the beam, and a huanghuali stool brought out from the magistrate's yamen is placed on the bottom.The hut is still lit with high-quality Dongguan incense, which conceals the musty smell formed by years of no one living there, and there is a thick wad of paper money on a broken table... This is the travel expenses for going to Huangquan Road!

Xian Yixin took out a booklet in a yellow envelope and handed it to the old servant, "This is my legacy...you find a way to escape and hand it to the emperor."

The old servant nodded with tears in his eyes: "Master, let's go!"

Xian Yixin nodded, without any further delay, he stood on the Huanghuali stool, put his neck into Suzhou Bailing, and felt quite comfortable, so he kicked over the stool under his feet!

……

Ningbo Mansion, Zhaobaoshan, Zhejiang Governor's Yamen.

In just over a dozen days, Fan Chengmo, who had just turned 50, was already showing signs of aging and exhaustion.

In the past, this important minister of the Qing Dynasty always looked proud, with a loud voice and a generous manner when talking and laughing.However, as the Nanyang navy never returned; the Ming army invaded Wenzhou, Taizhou, Chuzhou, and Quzhou by land, and they were invincible all the way; regimental rebellions broke out everywhere in Zhejiang, and warnings were issued from time to time along the coast.Fan Chengmo, who had been trying his best to maintain himself in front of everyone, suddenly aged at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A 50-year-old looks like an old man in his sixties or seventies.

Everyone knows that the rule of the Qing Dynasty in Zhejiang is about to collapse.And Fan Chengmo was helpless, he couldn't even escape... because the land transportation to Hangzhou had been cut off by the regiment who rose up to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

The news in Hangzhou, Jiaxing and other places has long been cut off, and even the beacon fire of the beacon tower has been extinguished for a long time.Rumors abounded in the prefectural city of Ningbo. Some said that soldiers from the Ming Dynasty had invaded Nanjing along the Yangtze River!Some say that Emperor Kangxi was defeated by Wu Sangui and Zhuge Yaodao in Anhui, and was beheaded again!Others say that while the Heavenly Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the Heavenly Soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty jointly attacked Anhui, Jiangnan, and Zhejiang, they also sent large armies to the Central Plains by land and sea respectively, and they have now reached the city of Beijing.

In short, the Qing Dynasty... is coming to an end!

The pacesetters of the governor of Zhejiang have also begun to fluctuate. The pacesetters of the governor of Zhejiang are not Manchurian soldiers, or even northern soldiers, but native Zhejiang soldiers.

Moreover, the Governor of Zhejiang Province will be replaced every two to three years or even a year, and the pacesetters will not be changed when the governorship is changed, so Fan Chengmo's ability to control the pacesetters under him is also limited.

Now the Governor's pacesetters are huddled in Ningbo Fucheng and Zhaobaoshan Fortress and can still maintain food and drink. If they really want to protect Fan Chengmo and fight out, they may mutiny immediately.

But how long can Fan Chengmo shrink back?The Ming army may reach the city of Ningbo at any time...

His good friend Yu Chenglong was also trapped in Ningbo, unable to return to Hangzhou, let alone Nanjing or Beijing.

Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong, the two troubled brothers, had to spend the whole day in the governor's mansion in Zhaobaoshan relatively silent, sighing.

Seeing the setting sun slanting, there is no bad news, and it seems that they can live another day, the two of them looked at each other and gave a wry smile.Just as they were about to have a good meal together, they saw a staff member hurried in with a happy expression on his face.Seeing Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong, these two unlucky guys were there, he reported loudly: "Zhijun! Zhijun! The Nanyang navy is back! The navy has not been wiped out yet... more than a dozen large Western ships have come back!"

"Really? Did you see clearly?" Fan Chengmo asked tremblingly.

"Really, really... The student just came back from the Yongjiang Wharf and saw with his own eyes [-] large Western ships coming back, all under the banner of our Qing Dynasty! On the bow of the first ship were Bajunmen and Fei deputy!"

"There were forty or fifty boats when we went," Yu Chenglong said beside him, "There were only fifteen boats when we came back... It seems that we are still defeated."

"Fifteen boats are enough!" Fan Chengmo turned to Jackie Chan and said, "Yu Shan, let's go to the pier to meet Ba Junmen and Deputy Fei."

Yu Chenglong nodded, "Okay, let's go together."

Chapter 400 We Are the Foreign Eight Banners Against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty!

In the anchorage of the Nanyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty under the Zhaobaoshan Fort.

At this time, it was a desolate and desolate scene. There was no one on the huge pier. On the Yongjiang waterway, which was still busy in the past, apart from a dozen or so western-style armed merchant ships that had just entered, not even a single fishing boat could be seen.

The gates of the nearby naval barracks are also closed, and there is no popularity at all.

Even the river water of the Yongjiang River seemed a little weak at the moment, just floating up and down gently.

Fifteen armed merchant ships with lowered sails were docked at the pier, all in Western style, but with a triangular five-clawed golden dragon flag hanging on the mast.These fifteen Western ships, large and small, did not include the two largest ships of the Nanyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty—the Dinghai Batulu and Zhenhai Batulu.

When Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong rode horses and rushed to the pier with a team of Goshha and a few staff members, all the western-style armed merchant ships had already lowered their sails, lowered their anchors, and Take the springboard to the shore.

There are already some navy officers and soldiers wearing black or blue silk mandarin jackets (the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty are made by themselves, so they are not exactly the same), wearing official hats, carrying waist knives or muskets. Team on the pier.

Fan Chengmo knew that this was the "Henan rule" of Bartba's military sect. When the sailors of their "Henan Kingdom" boarded and disembarked, the whole team had to be checked and called by the chief.

Seeing that there were a lot of Westerners coming off the ship continuously, Fan Zhijun felt relieved—losing a little warship is nothing, as long as the people are fine.If the ship is gone, it can be rebuilt, no, it is re-rented!

When Fan Chengmo reined in his horse and got off the horse, he had already seen Balter and Figo.

Both of them are mandarin jackets, wearing tops, waists, and braids on the back of their heads. They are no different from ordinary military officers in the Qing Dynasty. Among them, Barthes did not shave his hair. He is a "zero-time slave"!Figo shaved his hair according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty.

Seeing that both of them were fine, Fan Chengmo finally felt relieved, with a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, and said to Jackie Chan with a smile: "Yu Shan, we both have to live... I still have a few hundred thousand in my yamen." The two silver coins are the tariffs collected these days. As long as you can send it to the emperor, and then take the fleet to the north, the emperor will sentence me to be a prisoner at most, and you will be a pre-military service at most."

Yu Chenglong was also very happy, the beheading of the prison guards, the dismissal of the officers and soldiers who served before the army are all fake... After all, the ministers who guard the land are guilty of losing their land.But in fact, everyone knew that the two of them had meritorious service, and of course the emperor knew it too.So once the limelight is over, they can be restored to their original posts, and they can be of great use.

While talking, the two had strode towards Barthes and Figo.

When Barter saw them coming, he shouted in "Henan dialect" Chinese: "We are Chinese, we want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

The "Temporary Foreign Eight Banners" below all shouted: "We are Chinese, we want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty..."

These "Eight Banners" don't speak Chinese well, as if they had an olive in their mouth, so Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong didn't understand. Fan Chengmo still asked with a smile: "Deputy Fei, what are they shouting? How do you hear it?" It seems to be anti-Qing and Fuming?"

Figo laughed, "Reporting to the army, they are shouting: We are Chinese, we want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty..."

"what?"

"What did you say?"

"Arrest Fan Zhijun and Yu Chenglong!" Barter suddenly shouted in "Henan dialect".

The "Foreign Eight Banners Temporary Slaves" lined up below seemed to have been waiting for Barter's order. As soon as he yelled, a group of Foreign Eight Banners had drawn their knives or muskets and rushed towards Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong.

At the same time, the scary-sounding "Qiuqiuqiu" scream suddenly sounded on the big boat that Barter and the others were riding on, and then a dozen or so rockets rushed towards Zhaobao Mountain with their white tail flames. fort.

And the rest of the "Eight Banners" lined up on the pier also suddenly started to attack, raised their muskets, drew their waist knives, shouted the slogan "Anti-Qing and Fuming", or rushed towards Fan Chengmo's Goshha, or rushed towards Zhaobaoshan .

Fan Chengmo, who had already been taken down by the two "Eight Banners of the West", was dumbfounded, and still asked: "Why? Why is this? Ba Junmen, you are a Dutchman, why do you want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?"

Figo took Fan Chengmo's question and said with a wry smile: "Fan Zhijun... Ba Junmen is not Dutch anymore, he is now a Chinese, a Chinese who wholeheartedly wants to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

"Why?" Fan Chengmo still didn't understand.

"Hahaha, because Barter and Figo, the two foreign bannermen, were defeated by our Daming navy fifteen days ago, and they were taken prisoner... In order to survive, they all became second ministers and third ministers, and now they are Daming's. The courtier."

The one who answered this question with a big smile was a "Killer Confucian" who was coming down from the warship. He was wearing a red robe and a yellow scarf, a long sword and an empty hammer. He had a ferocious face. It was Scar Rong Qiu Rong.

It turned out that after Barthes and Figo were captured that day, they were quickly brought back to Sanduao together with other "foreign eight banners captives" - the number of people was actually not too many, that is, five or six hundred, because they were sunk that day The Nanyang Navy of the Great Qing Dynasty had only six ships, that is, the six ships that rushed to the front.The other boats all fled when they saw something was wrong... It's just that they didn't flee back to Ningbo, so Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong didn't know what happened?

After these prisoners arrived in Sanduao, in order to survive, they all followed Barthe and Figo and expressed that they would do the great cause of "anti-Qing and restoring the Ming".

So Zhu Hexi showed great mercy and incorporated them all into the Aoi Regiment—most of the more than 1000 "foreign banners" who have landed now are from the Aoi Regiment.

After Barthes and Figo joined Daming, they of course told Zhu Hechi, Qiu Rong and others about the deployment of the Zhaobaoshan Fort.

It turns out that this Zhaobaoshan Fort is a bit unexpected. It was expanded on the basis of the Zhenhai Fort in the Ming Dynasty, and it was designed by Balter and supervised by Fan Chengmo.Although it is still a bit hasty and simple, as long as the defenders are determined enough, it is still quite difficult to fight.

So Zhu Heqi immediately formulated a surprise attack plan, dispatched the Aoi United Team to pretend to be the Eight Banners, and asked Bart and Figo to lead the way, and picked fifteen Western-style warships, and asked Qiu Rong to take one of them. To sneak attack... first attack Dinghai, and then attack Ningbo.

At the same time, Zhu Heqi personally led a land division from Wenzhou and Taizhou all the way to Ningbo, and sent a large number of naval ships to carry another town to occupy Dinghai, and landed in Shaoxing, Haining, Jiaxing, Songjiang, etc. , in order to put pressure on the Qing army in Ningbo and Hangzhou.

At this time, Qiu Rong had arrived in front of Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong, and asked with a smile, "Which of you two is Fan Chengmo?"

Fan Chengmo snorted: "I am Fan Chengmo, Governor of Zhejiang Province in the Qing Dynasty. If you want to kill him, I will kill him. I will not surrender!"

Qiu Rong smiled without waving his hands: "Fan, what good thing do you want? You are Fan Wencheng's son, and you still want to surrender? The official is looking for you just to force you to persuade others to surrender..." This is what he said again. Ask Yu Chenglong, "Who are you? Is your father a big traitor?"

"Xiaguan's surname is Yu, and his name is Jackie Chan. My father is just an ordinary scholar." Yu Chenglong quickly explained, "Xiaguan was admitted to the Imperial College in the early years of Shunzhi."

The traitors in Zhu Heqi are also divided into big and small, such as Sanshun Wang Yishun, the descendants of Li Yongfang and Sun Degong, and the descendants of Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, of course they are big traitors!

Unless you make a great contribution, you will not be forgiven.

And guys like Yu Chenglong, who took the exam to become officials after entering the Qing Dynasty, are traitors, and we still have to give them a chance to reform themselves—if they really reformed and are willing to contribute to the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty.

After all, there are too many such "little traitors", and if they want to eliminate them all, they will make too many enemies.

And there were indeed many of them who were in the Qing court, and among them were even heroes who were forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.For example, Li Dingguo's son Li Sixing is now an official in the Qing Dynasty...

Chapter 401 This is the real master, the Qing Dynasty is about to end!

Ningbo Mansion, Zhenhai County, Zhaobaoshan Governor's Mansion.

When Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong were escorted by hundreds of foreign soldiers to the governor's mansion located in Zhaobaoshan Fortress, their hearts were almost chilled.

The reason why my heart is so cold is not only because of being a prisoner, but also because the Zhejiang soldiers stationed at Zhaobaoshan Fortress have no desire to fight at all, no, they don't even have the desire to escape!

They didn't flee when they saw the thief, fled watching the wind, or misheard the news, but they cut their braids and surrendered to the Ming army as quickly as possible.There were even quite a few soldiers from Zhejiang who sang the ballad "Welcome the King of Ming Dynasty" in Ningbo dialect... they were still very familiar with it, obviously they had practiced it!

These are all the Zhejiang green camp soldiers that Fan Chengmo "fed" with money!

An ordinary soldier can receive as much as one, two or three dollars of snowflake silver in a month!Moreover, Governor Fan Da is also very lenient to the subordinates, he doesn't care much about military discipline, and he doesn't require them to train every day. It's comfortable to be a soldier for him!

But these soldiers have no conscience at all, and those who surrendered are so fast!

The most hateful thing is that the generals, guerrillas, and chief executives who led the troops not only surrendered quickly, but also rushed to hand over the certificates, and took the initiative to lead the Chaozhou soldiers brought by Qiu Rong to copy the gold embezzled by Fan Chengmo... ... Boxes of gold bars were quickly moved to the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, and the lids were opened, waiting for Qiu Rong to bring someone to count them.Under the sunlight that came in from outside, the golden light almost blinded people's eyes.

Even Yu Chenglong, who was a prisoner with Fan Chengmo, couldn't stand the gold. "My boss is a big greedy person.

"Luoshan, why are you greedy for so much gold? Are you worthy of the emperor and the court?" Yu Chenglong looked at the boxes of gold that were being carried in continuously, forgot his identity for a moment, and knelt down Questioning Fan Chengmo there!

"I, I..." Fan Chengmo was dumbfounded by Yu Chenglong's question, and for a moment he forgot that he was already a prisoner. He thought it was a case of corruption and was taken by Yu Chenglong sent by the court, so he still wanted to explain!

"I made 2 taels of gold during my tenure as governor of Zhejiang Province, not much! I am Fan Wensu's son! My old lady also served the king of Yutong County..."

It's quite aggrieved. He was the governor of Zhejiang for a year, and he was still in charge of Ningbo Customs for half a year. He only made 30 gold, and it was only about [-] taels when converted into silver. Can this be called a lot?And who is he, Fan Chengmo?The son of Fan Wensu (Fan Wencheng's posthumous name Wen Su), his mother still serves Duoduo... If Duduo was not only ten years older than him, he would have reason to suspect that he is the seed of Aixinjueluo!

With such an identity, the governor of Zhejiang Province who has been serving as the governor of Zhejiang Province for a year has only embezzled 30 taels of silver. How can it be called too much?

Fan Chengmo said again: "Besides, I am not the only one who spends the gold. You have to... Yu Shan, you know!"

Fan Chengmo is a slave of Xianghuang Banner, and his father served as a coat slave for Daishan and his family, and his mother served Duoduo.After these interpersonal relationships were passed on to Fan Chengmo, he had to spend money to maintain them, otherwise how could he be a slave?

More than half of the money he earned in Zhejiang should be filial to these masters.

With the support of these masters, he is not afraid of Yu Chenglong investigating his corruption at all.Moreover, Kangxi was such a freshman, and he also knew this truth-how much salary can those Aixinjueluo really live on?

And it's not convenient for them to go out to fish in person, so they can only rely on the servants under their flag to pay tribute...

When Fan Chengmo said this, Yu Chenglong also thought it made sense. When he was thinking about how to hide it for Fan Chengmo, a Chaozhou accent suddenly yelled: "Have you counted the number? These are all people's fat and people's ointment. Be sure to count them carefully. Can't miss it!"

Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong followed the voice, only to realize that it was Daming's "Scarred Champion" Qiu Rong who spoke.At this time, the two also remembered that they were already prisoners.

"I've done it, I've done it." Another Chaozhou accent replied, "There are a total of 1000 two hundred and fifty-five taels of gold..."

Qiu Rong nodded, and said: "Okay, put a seal on it, and transport it to Yin County with the money and hand it over to the supervisor!"

When Yu Chenglong heard this, he sighed in his heart: This is an upright official!This Qiu Zhuangyuan is not only first-rate in literary talent and superior in military strategy, but also as an official as clean as water. The officials of the Qing Dynasty are really incomparable to him!
