Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

At this time, Qiu Rong also saw Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong, and he was quite polite, and said to them with a smile: "The surname is Fan, and the surname is Yu... The sage Jian Guo has arrived in Yin County, and he wants to see you two by name!"

As he spoke, he waved his hands and told the left and right, "Take these two traitors and all the gold, and set off in a quarter of an hour!"

……

Yin County is about [-] miles away from Zhaobao Mountain, and it is the first county of Ningbo Prefecture.

When Qiu Rong led a group of foreigners from the Ming Dynasty to attack Zhaobao Mountain, Zhu Heqi led thousands of elite Ming troops to Yin County day and night.On the same day that Qiu Rong captured Zhaobaoshan, the army led by Zhu Heqi also entered the city without bloodshed.After entering the city, Zhu Heqi immediately sent a team of cavalry to Zhaobaoshan and found Qiu Rong.

After learning that Zhu Heqi had arrived in Yin County, Qiu Rong immediately ordered people to move the seized gold and silver, as well as the captured Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong, to several inland river officials parked on the Zhaobaoshan Wharf. The boat left Zhaobao Mountain in the afternoon of the seventh day of August, and staggered westward all the way. In the early morning of the eighth day of August, it entered the city through the water gate of Yin County.

Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong were not imprisoned in the cabin, but were placed on the deck of the official ship together with their cages (cages).

When the official ship arrived in Yin County, Fan Chengmo was so drowsy that he was about to fall asleep. When he was in a daze, he suddenly heard someone crying and shouting in his ear: "It's over, it's over, the Qing Dynasty is over... The Ming army is the real master of the king!"

The voice smelled a little like old Shanxi vinegar, and it sounded like Yu Jackie's!

What does this Yu Chenglong mean?Do you want to be a minister?

Thinking of this, Fan Chengmo woke up instantly, opened his eyes and wanted to stare at Jackie Chan, but when he saw the situation on both sides of the river, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and could not utter a word.

It turned out that the official ship that Fan Chengmo and the others took had already sailed to the most prosperous area in Yin County, where shops and freight terminals lined up on both sides of the river.

If it was the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, it would be considered polite to rob all the shops and docks in this area, otherwise the city would be massacred!

The Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty really liked massacring cities!

The captured enemy cities must be slaughtered, and the recovered towns of the own side must also be slaughtered. Sometimes even because the enemy is about to attack, the people in the own city will be slaughtered first...

In Fan Chengmo's eyes, the new Ming's army was a "bandit". This "bandit" certainly didn't like to slaughter as much as the "Heavenly Soldiers", but things always had to be robbed.

But what Fan Chengmo saw now was thousands of exhausted Xin Ming soldiers wrapped in blankets, leaning against the eaves of the shops on both sides of the river, sleeping soundly.And many of those shops are lowering their doors and preparing to open for business... It looks like they haven't been robbed!

Some soldiers had already woken up and were packing up their salutes. Their salutes only included some armor, clothing, blankets and rations, and there was no looted property at all.

The guys and shopkeepers in some shops even handed hot rice porridge and steamed buns to the soldiers who had just woken up.And the soldiers smiled and thanked the guys and shopkeepers after receiving the food... Everything seemed so natural, as if it should be like this.

What surprised Fan Chengmo even more was that he actually saw a young woman coming out of a shop carrying a basket and walking along the river bank by herself... It seemed that she was not worried about being violated by those wolf-like soldiers.

Under the morning light, the whole city is so comfortable and harmonious. In Fan Chengmo's memory, such a scene can only be seen in Beijing.

Chapter 402 Kang Mazi, you are now a fool!

The Xinming army occupying Ningbo was well-disciplined, which is actually very natural.

Because the Army Seventh Town led by Zhu Heqi to attack Zhejiang by land was a unit composed almost entirely of Liangjiazi from Guangdong.

The so-called Liangjiazi in Guangdong refer to productive youths who are well-behaved, physically strong, and proficient in writing.

They are different from the Green Battalion soldiers and the Eight Banners soldiers. They are not bandits or pirates. They are good boy soldiers.And their service period is not long-it is average service after Juntian!The military service of the new Ming Dynasty is undertaken by so many good families, so the time for each good family to serve will be shorter.Usually it is two years for infantry and four years for artillery. In special circumstances, such as long-term wars, it can be extended to five years.

In addition, most of the officers in the seventh town are also young officers from the Whampoa Military Academy.They are also relatively well-behaved, and they haven't had time to pick up the bad habits of the old army.Moreover, in addition to studying military affairs and military law at the Whampoa Military Academy, they also had to accept the ideological education of original Confucianism.

The Proto-Confucianism proposed by Zhu Heqi is to some extent the Confucian version of the Puritan movement, and of course it is more self-disciplined and strict.

Of course, being a Puritan doesn't mean being a good person...

In fact, this relatively well-regulated army also has its disadvantages, that is, it is not brutal enough to fight.Wars with cold weapons in ancient times had relatively high requirements for the personal bravery of the soldiers. If a group of anti-social personalities can be found to charge forward, the chances of winning will definitely be greater.

Therefore, many generals in the cold weapon era will deliberately relax military discipline, and let their subordinates kill people and set fires.

There are many examples in history that an army that loves the people can't defeat a barbaric army that kills and sets fire!

Although Zhu Heqi's seventh town is relatively well-behaved, but if they really want to attack people with a knife, they may not necessarily beat those "bad soldiers".

But now they are carrying muskets, carrying grenades, and attacking under the cover of rocket launchers.For such an army, discipline is more important than bravery!

The maintenance and use of muskets, the preparation and management of sugar medicine, and a large number of technical weapons such as rocket launchers, hammer guns, and cannons must be managed and used well, all of which must have strict discipline and management.

All in all, the seventh town of Zhu Hechi is a new-style army that uses new-style weapons, new-style tactics, and possesses the new ideas of original Confucianism.

In the eyes of Fan Chengmo, a corrupt feudal official, their behavior in Yin County was just inexplicably surprised, and maybe a little disdainful... It must be a fake, and it won't last long.

But in the eyes of Jackie Chan, who is also a bit puritanical, it was extremely shocking.

This army is simply the "model master" in Jackie Chan's ideal!

It is undoubtedly the destiny of the new Ming Dynasty to have such a "model king teacher".Compared with the "model king's teacher", Emperor Kangxi's army is a "bad soldier" who will cause harm wherever he fights, so Emperor Kangxi is a senseless and stupid king without the blessing of destiny.

Yu Chenglong, who had already been shocked by the "Iron Army" of the new Ming Dynasty, was taken to the jail of the country, that is, the lobby of the original Ningbo magistrate's yamen, there was another scene that shocked him even more.

When he was escorted over, Zhu Heqi, dressed in commoner clothes, was having breakfast with the soldiers below.

Yu Chenglong saw a big man in yellow clothes and scarves and the soldiers in red sitting around outside the lobby of the government office, holding a bowl of porridge in one hand and a hard steamed bun with a little stiff hair in the other, eating it deliciously!

There are no dishes, just put some black pickles in the porridge.

Moreover, while eating, Zhu and Qi were chatting with a group of soldiers in Chaozhou dialect. They had a very happy chat, and the big guys laughed happily from time to time.

If Qiu Rong hadn't gone up to pay respects, Yu Chenglong would never have believed that the man in yellow was Zhu Heqi, who was about to become emperor...

Just when Jackie Chan was shocked, Zhu Heqi said something that made him tearful.

"Yu Chenglong? Is that the honest Yu Chenglong?"

Yu Chenglong was so moved!

This is really meeting the Ming Lord!

His qualifications in the official circles of the Qing Dynasty are very old. He was admitted to the Guozijian shortly after entering the customs in the Qing Dynasty, and became an official not long after.Almost 30 years now!

In the past 30 years, he has been an official conscientiously and conscientiously, not corrupt or corrupt, and he is dedicated to the good of the Qing Dynasty.

But his official luck is not always very good, those corrupt officials who are not as good as him in business, conduct and qualifications are not as good as him, but they all climbed up one by one.

He thought it was because he didn't work hard enough, but only now did he realize...it turned out that it wasn't him who was wrong, but Shunzhi and Kangxi, the two foolish lords!

Thinking of this, Yu Chenglong couldn't hold back any longer, and knelt down to Zhu Heqi with a plop: "In front of a saint, how dare a sinner, Yu Chenglong, be honest? Even if a sinner has some reputation, he is doing things for the faint and tyrannical king of the Qing Dynasty." I'm really ashamed to get it..."

"Yu Chenglong, you bastard, do you want to be a second minister?"

Before Zhu and Qi could react, Fan Chengmo had already roared.

Yu Chenglong's reluctance to die was also within his expectations, but such a straightforward surrender was far beyond his expectations.

"Who is this yelling person?" Zhu Heqi asked.

Qiu Rong immediately replied: "Reporting to the sage of the supervisory country, this man is Fan Chengmo, the governor of Zhejiang Province who is a Qing monster. of."

"What? He corrupted so much in one year?" Zhu Heqi pretended to be surprised, "This Fan Chengmo must be the most corrupt official in Qing Yao, and he must be severely punished!"

"Sage," Yu Chenglong actually spoke for Fan Chengmo at this time, "this Fan Chengmo is not a big corrupt official... He was the Governor of Zhejiang for a year, and he was in charge of Ningbo Pass for half a year. Not greedy at all."

What Yu Chenglong said is right, Fan Chengmo is indeed not greedy, more than half of the 7000 gold he earned this year has to be donated, and the most he can put in his pocket is 8 taels, which is equivalent to more than [-] taels of silver .

If Fan Chengmo was a magistrate, it would be too greedy to get this amount within a year, but he is the governor!

Moreover, there are two governors, one governor of Zhejiang, one governor of the Nanyang Navy, and they are also in charge of Ningbo Customs, which received the most money in the Qing Dynasty.Only over 8 taels were corrupted in a year, which is really not a big greed.

If Emperor Kangxi knew this number, not only would he not have Fan Chengmo arrested for questioning, but he would think that Fan Chengmo "didn't have much greed and had a very good conscience."

But Zhu and Qi don't think so - Fan Chengmo is Daming's sworn enemy!

So he deliberately pretended to be extremely surprised, and loudly reprimanded: "It's too greedy, it's really too greedy... No wonder the people in the world are struggling to survive. It turned out that it was caused by the oppression and exploitation of corrupt officials like Fan Chengmo. Such corrupt officials must be punished." Severe punishment! Someone, take Fan Chengmo under strict supervision!"

"Order!"

A group of Zhu Heqi's attendants rushed forward immediately, gagged the cursing Fan Chengmo and took him away.

And Zhu Heyi personally untied Yu Chenglong - he knew that Yu Chenglong was the procurator of Zhejiang, and he was not a small official!

Although the real power of the Zhejiang Procuratorate is not great, the news must be relatively well-informed. If he is willing to surrender sincerely, then the new Ming Dynasty will be able to obtain a lot of inside information about the Qing Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi smiled and said to Jackie Chan: "Yu Yushan, you are a well-known upright and capable official in the world, and a good official who is in charge of the people... My new Ming Dynasty advocates that the world is for the public, and the monarch and guests are democratic. Monarchs and ministers are of the same mind. Are you willing to be of the same mind to save the common people and benefit all people in the world?"

"I am willing!" Yu Chenglong was so grateful that he immediately bowed to Zhu Heqi. After the worship, he suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Jian Guo, I heard that Kangxi adopted Zhou Peigong's plan to misplace Wu Zhou. They want to send Jiangnan to Wu Sangui to provoke a war between the Ming and Zhou Dynasties, and set up Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps in Zijin Mountain in Nanjing and Guazhoubu in Yangzhou... After returning to the north, they will garrison the second battalion with heavy troops and consume the Ming Dynasty. Or Wu Zhou's vitality!"

Chapter 403 Kang Mazi, why don't you talk about martial arts anymore?

"What?" Zhu Heqi laughed, "Jiangnan Daying, Jiangbei Daying? It sounds vulnerable!"

At this time, Grandson Zhu finally realized what was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Wait, where is the Jiangnan camp located?"

"Purple Gold Mountain!" Yu Chenglong said.

Zhu Hechi was taken aback, "Isn't that where Xiaoling is?"

"Exactly!" Yu Chenglong gritted his teeth, with a look of extreme hatred, "That insidious man Zhou Peigong suggested to the faint emperor that he should use the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu as a hostage to force the sage in charge of the state not to use cannons to blast the sky with thunder. Instead, we can only attack with the flesh and blood of soldiers!"

"mean!"

"Shameless!"

"No martial arts!"

The people around Zhu Heqi scolded when they heard this, and Zhu Heqi was also furious. His face, which was originally ferocious, looked even more terrifying now, as if he was about to eat Kang Mazi alive. Son.

Kang Mazi was indeed a little out of character this time!Even if he wanted to build a reinforced concrete bastion, Zhu Heqi would not be so angry... As long as it can be repaired, it is Mazi's ability.

But Kang Mazi has no ability to make reinforced concrete, but he put a bad idea on Zhu Heqi's ancestral grave... It is too shameless to use Zhu Yuanzhang's grave as a hostage, no, as a "grave host" to blackmail Zhu Heqi up!

What's even more hateful is that Zhu Heqi really couldn't launch dozens of rockets to bombard Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.Although Zhu Yuanzhang, who was buried below, would not have any opinions, Zhu Heqi's conscience would not have the slightest bit of uneasiness.

But he still has to consider the mouth of the world!

Zhu Heqi is a Confucian sage and the third great-grandson of the Ming Dynasty. How could he bombard Zhu Yuanzhang's grave with rockets if they were placed there?

Even if he is willing to give the order, the people below will not agree!How could they let their beloved saints blow up their ancestral graves with cannons?

Yu Chenglong has already started to take off his clothes at this time - he has to take off his official clothes of the Qing Dynasty!While taking it off, he said: "Using other people's ancestral graves as a threat... These villains are not even worthy of the rulers of the Yidi. They can only be regarded as the tyrants of the Yidi and the faint kings of the Yidi. The official of the year is really shameful!"

As he spoke, he had already taken off his official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, and stepped on it a few times.Then he suggested to Zhu Heqi: "Jianguo, I suggest that you invite Mr. Lizhou and the famous scholars from the south of the Yangtze River to take a look when you mobilize your army to besiege Zijin Mountain... let them see the true face of Qing Yao Emperor!"

"Yu Shan's strategy is good!" Zhu Hexi nodded, and then said to Jackie Chan, "Yu Shan... Now that the new Ming Dynasty is still in its infancy, the Guofu of the lonely family is busy with affairs and urgently needs the help of a capable minister. The Minister of Attendance of Jian Guo Mansion, this official is equivalent to Kang Mazi's Minister of Nanshufang!"

Minister of the South Study Room!

Yu Chenglong thought that he deserved this position a long time ago - even a villain like Zhou Peigong has become the Minister of Nanshufang, why can't he be?Unexpectedly, he got the job he dreamed of, and now he got it from the enemy of the Qing Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Yu Chenglong's face turned pale, and he was so excited that he even sobbed a little: "The Holy Grace is so great! Although the minister is in a daze, I can't report it just in case, and dare not exhaust my strength..."

As he said that, he was about to kowtow to Zhu Heqi, but Zhu Heqi supported him.

Zhu Heqi said to him seriously: "Yu Shan, I was awarded the honor of being an attendant minister alone, because the Qing has a clean name and is a capable official. The Qing court is a muddy dynasty. It is both honest and capable. Official, I am afraid that there is no one in a million. Therefore, Gu regards you as a like-minded person, Qing is not Gu's servant, Gu is not Qing's master, you and I are both teachers and friends, and we are comrades, so there is no need to kneel down."

Zhu Heqi still very much approves of the theories of Yuan Jun and Yuan Chen in "Ming Yi Dai Fang Lu".

He cannot and does not want to regard the land and people in the world as his own property, so he will not regard ministers as his slaves.

If he wants to have such an idea, he will have to continue to fool the people, and he will not be able to do a lot of education and broaden the wisdom of the people... Without compulsory education and subsequent higher education as the basis, future industrial upgrading and industrialization will be a bit difficult. .

But now China has a small population, a strong industry, and a high per capita (GDP), which happens to be the time to spend money on compulsory education.

If we don't do it now, when the population recovers in the future and the industry can't keep up, the per capita rate will definitely drop, and it will be difficult to implement compulsory education at that time.

After arranging an official position for Yu Chenglong, and instilling in him a bunch of "Yuanjun" and "Yuanchen" principles, Zhu Heqi immediately sent his attendants Yan Yuan, Pang Siming, and Xin Daming's side Chen Yonghua, the governor of Zhejiang, and Liu Yan, the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Town (the same Liu Yan who killed Fuquan), were called together to hold a military meeting.

……

"Jianguo! Let's march to Nanjing as soon as possible. Soldiers are precious, and we must rush to Nanjing before Wu Sangui backs the alliance!"

"Kang Mazi is too deceitful, Jian Guo, we can't let him get what he wants!"

"Whether Wu Sangui betrays the alliance is the key. Prime Minister Zhuge must be careful to supervise the country!"

"Our troops are still too thin, Jian Guo, why not let Prime Minister Zhuge break the siege of Anqing, and transfer all the troops to Nanjing to join us."

"Prime Minister Zhuge's soldiers can't be moved, otherwise what will we do if Wu Sangui really came back from the alliance? Kang Mazi has been defeated repeatedly and is ready to flee north. Even if we leave a nail in Zijin Mountain, we still have a chance to pull it out ... If Wu Sangui fights with us, we will be in big trouble!"

"What is Wu Sangui's intentions? Now is a good opportunity for him to make a northern expedition to the Central Plains, why didn't he do it?"

In the hall of Zhu Hexi Xingyuan, Qiu Rong, Yan Yuan, Pang Siming, Liu Yan, Chen Yonghua, Yu Chenglong and others chattered and chattered, and the discussions became noisy.At the end of the discussion, what everyone is really worried about is not Zhu Yuanzhang's "wrongedness" in Zijin Mountain... His old man has a spirit in the sky, and the most unbearable thing is the demise of Ming Dynasty and the fall of Huaxia!

As long as this situation can be brought back, Zijin Mountain's tomb can be repaired again!

The key to defending against Wu is to send troops to Nanjing as soon as possible... Even if the nail on Zijin Mountain cannot be removed temporarily, as long as the army reaches Nanjing, even if Wu Sangui sends troops to the east, they will most likely stop at the Yangtze River.

In this way, half of Jiangnan is always surnamed Zhu!

Zhu Hechi clenched his fists and sat on the chair, looking as if he had been pissed off by the two rotten people, Kang Mazi and Zhou Peigong.

The discussions in the lobby gradually stopped, and everyone turned their attention to Zhu Heqi——they had already said what needed to be said, and Zhu Heqi had to take this big idea by himself!

Zhu Hechi spoke up: "How many Qing soldiers are there in Hangzhou? How many Qing soldiers are there in Jiaxing? How many Qing soldiers are there in Suzhou? How many Qing soldiers are there in Changzhou? How many Qing soldiers are there in Zhenjiang? Also... where is Mr. Lizhou now?"
