In the next two days, Min Yue and Lian Xing often came out, during which she also learned the "five-in-a-row" play, surprisingly Lian Xing actually has an unusual interest in backgammon, and is also happy to play with Qifei, Qingwen and Jin'er, they play, but relative to her enthusiasm, her level of chess is really not flattering, but fortunately, she has a good mentality, it can be said that she has been defeated repeatedly, and she has been defeated repeatedly......

And when a few of them were playing chess, Min Yue humbly asked Yu Youwei for advice on the grounds that she had also learned the piano before, and Yu Youwei had already retired from Jinfeng Lou, although Jin'er had learned part of the piano skills, but Jin'er was not very interested in this itself, purely because Miss was teaching, so she only half-pushed and half-learned. Later, because of the tasks assigned to them by Cao Yi, the two of them were the two heads of the acting department of the Taibai Chamber of Commerce, and it was only since then that Jin'er began to put all her thoughts on learning the piano, because she will be the deputy minister of the performing arts department in the future, and she will also be responsible for the teaching and guidance of the students.

And here Yu Youwei, as the minister of the performing arts, will naturally teach people in the future, but she has never taught anyone else except for Jin'er, at this time, there is Min Yue to learn, she is naturally willing to teach, and treat Min Yue as a student to teach in the future, but unfortunately Min Yue's foundation is very good, and she has enough understanding and talent is good enough, so as long as Yu Youwei will talk about some tips and tricks, such as finger shaking and finger flicking, demonstrate it, and explain some of the meaning behind it and the purpose of doing so. Min Yue immediately learned.

This also makes Yu Youwei's teaching work a lot more difficult in the future, because the first student in the real sense can teach as soon as she is taught, but the students after that are not so talented are much more difficult, and they are almost still half-confused after saying it two or three times.

During this period, Cao Yi sometimes participated in the "guqin training class", but he also wanted to learn, and when he didn't want to learn, he hid aside and listened to the sound of the piano and read the script. When learning the piano, Yu Youwei and Cao Yi sometimes called each other "son" and "Youwei", and sometimes called each other "senior brother" and "junior sister", which made Minyue surprised, although she wanted to find out the reason, but the relationship was not familiar enough to inquire about this, so she had to hold it in her heart.

However, the song "Eternal Happiness" has been familiar with and memorized, for Yu Youwei's unique singing voice and singing methods that she has never seen before, she also found an opportunity to ask for advice and learned it, and she only needs to hone it more later.

Of course, these few days on the ship, it is also the last easy time before they arrive in Yangzhou, if they really arrive in Yangzhou, then they have to devote themselves to the preparation of the Zuixian Building, and the only thing that is still a little empty at that time may only be Cao Yi, he only needs to take Yu Youwei to visit his senior brother Fei Haomiao, so that he can give the Zuixian Building a little convenience at the official level, or it doesn't matter, as long as it can prevent the suppression from the government and the dark side, the rest of the pure commercial competition, With its own service quality and competitive advantage of core products, Zuixianlou is also fully confident that it can open up the situation in Yangzhou, a place where restaurants are everywhere.

The rest of Cao Yi is to go to various Qinglou to find popular brands to negotiate the cooperation of flower language soap, and by the way, take Yu Youwei to watch various performances, and buy some high-quality seedlings to teach and cultivate, which is relatively easy.

On the eighth day of the second lunar month in the eleventh year of Yongxi of the Yan Dynasty, Cao Yiyi was carried

The pedestrians and the merchant ships of the two girls, Minyue and Lianxing, finally arrived in Yangzhou. Originally, if you drove overnight the night before, you could get to Yangzhou before the hour, but Cao Yi thought that if they really arrived in Yangzhou in the early morning, it was not easy for them to arrange a place to live temporarily, and the goods on the ship were not easy to carry, so they simply anchored for one night that night, and only on the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month did they enter the boundary of Yangzhou, and the merchant ship slowly sailed into Yangzhou City.

"By asking where Yangzhou is, Huainan River Beihai West Head" this poem can be said to be a perfect clarification of Yangzhou's geographical location, Yangzhou was known as Guangling, Jiangdu, Weiyang, since ancient times is the Jianghuai Dayi, the history of Xiongjun. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wu Wangfucha opened a ditch on the top of Shugang and built a Han city, which has a history of more than 1,500 years. Yangzhou was founded in Hancheng, flourished in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and flourished in Dayan.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty dug the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that runs through the north and south in history, and communicated the five major water systems in the east and west directions of the Central Plains, the Yangtze River, the Huai River, the Yellow River, the Haihe River, and the Qiantang River, which can be described as a great feat in the history of ancient Chinese transportation. Yangzhou is just at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, so it has the elegant name of "Huaizuo Famous Capital, Zhuxi Best Place", and has the reputation of "China's first canal city". Its unique geographical advantages and transportation advantages have allowed Yangzhou to usher in a thousand miles of prosperity. In the Tang Dynasty, there was even a "Yang Yi Yi Er" prominence, at that time it was said that the prosperity of the world, Yangzhou first, Yizhou second, Yizhou is now Shudi, itself the country of abundance is rich in materials, and the land of Shu is not as good as a county in Yangzhou, so you can know the prosperity of Yangzhou City.

Throughout the history of Yangzhou, businessmen gathered, humanities gathered, brilliant as stars, and the grand occasion was unprecedented. For example, Cao Yi's previous adaptation of the early Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" has influenced a generation of poetry with a single piece covering the whole Tang Dynasty. There are both Xu Ning's glory of "three points of bright moonlit nights in the world, and two points of scoundrels are Yangzhou"; Yin Yun's prosperity of "wrapping 100,000 yuan around his waist and riding a crane to Yangzhou"; There is also the romance of Du Mu's "Twenty-four Bridges and Bright Moon Night, where the Jade Man teaches the", the scenery of "the spring breeze is ten miles of Yangzhou Road, and it is better to roll up the red curtain", and Li Bai's "The Yellow Crane Tower of the Old Man Xichi, and the fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March......

Whether it is the poetry fairy Li Taibai's fireworks in March, or Mr. Fan Chuan's spring breeze ten miles of aria, Liju Qingci has been praised through the ages, and at the same time, it has also made Yangzhou's famous name famous again and again.

This also made Cao Yi and others who first came to Yangzhou curious about this city, even if it was Cao Yi in the previous life, he had never been to Yangzhou, and the biggest perception of Yangzhou was "Yangzhou Thin Horse" and "Yangzhou Ten Days" These two not very good impressions. The former doesn't need to be said again, but the latter has greatly changed Cao Yi's sense of the city of Yangzhou, from the original city full of wind and snow to the bloody nature of the city to die generously.

In the historical records of the previous life, in the first year of Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Qing soldiers under the leadership of the tenth son of Nurhachi, Aixin Jueluo Duoduo, divided the troops into Bozhou and Xuzhou, and advanced to the south. At that time, Yangzhou was heavily surrounded by the Qing army and the Ming generals, and Shi Kefa led the Yangzhou army and people to stick to the lonely city and resist to the death. In the process, Li Qifeng, the chief soldier of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Gao Qifeng, the deputy envoy of the Jianjun, wanted to kidnap Shi Kefa out of the city and surrender, but they were reprimanded by the righteousness, and then the two of them pulled out the camp and led the troops to surrender. The Qing army even tried to bombard Yangzhou City with red-coated artillery, and the situation was extremely critical. Shi Kefa used a blood letter to rush the court, but it's a pity

There was no response, and the soldiers and horses in the towns of Nanming did not listen to Shi Kefa's dispatch, at this time the isolated city of Yangzhou was difficult to do, Shi Kefa and the remaining soldiers and civilians decided to resist to the end and repay the country with death.

At that time, the Qing army and the Ming army had at least 100,000 people, and the Yangzhou garrison was only more than 10,000 people, to May 25 of the first year of Hongguang, because of the exhaustion of ammunition and food, the city fell, Shi Kefa wanted to pull out the saber and commit suicide, was forcibly taken away by his subordinates, and then sought to resist the Qing Dynasty, but unexpectedly the Qing army came head-on, Shi Kefa shouted: "I am the Ming Governor Shi Kefa, take me to see your handsome!" ”

At that time, the commander of the Qing army, Aixin Jueluo Duoduo, treated him politely, called him sir, persuaded him to surrender in person, and promised to be a high-ranking official, but was categorically rejected by Shi Kefa: "I am a minister of the court, how can I steal my life to be this kind of sinner for eternity, my head can be broken, my body cannot be humiliated, I just want to die quickly, go to meet the first emperor, the city is saved by me, the city is broken and I die, even if you are broken into thousands of pieces, it will not change my mind, but I hope you will not slaughter millions of people in Yangzhou City." In the end, he died heroically at the age of forty-five.

After the city of Yangzhou was broken, there were many people who died as generously as Shi Kefa, including the prefect of Yangzhou Ren Minyu, after the city was broken, he solemnly changed to the official mansion of the Ming Dynasty, sat in the lobby of the prefect's official office, waited for the Qing army, and said that he was a soldier of the Ming Dynasty and should die here; There was Wu Eryi, who could not withstand the torture of Li Zicheng's rebels in Beijing the year before and surrendered, causing him to be humiliated in his life, and later fled to Shi Kefa's subordinates, asked to serve in the army to atone for his crimes, cut off a finger himself, and said to his own family, "If he resists the Qing Dynasty and does not return, he can be buried with this broken finger." "After the city of Yangzhou was broken, he threw himself into a well and died; There is a deputy chief soldier Ma Yingkui, who batches white armor in every battle, and writes the four words "loyal to the country" on his back, and does not retreat in the street battle, and after killing more than ten people, he was hacked to death with a knife.

Under these circumstances, the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou continued to fight fiercely until the last drop of blood was shed, and the chief soldier Liu Zhaoji, the staff member He Gang, and the artillery expert Chen Yujie either died in street battles or committed suicide and martyrdom, and Shi Kefa's 19 personal staff members all abandoned their pens and held knives and died one by one. After the Qing army occupied Yangzhou, within ten days, there were remnants of the army and the people who resisted to the death and died tragically.

In later generations, there was a poem "Reading the Biography of Hanjiang Qian Lie's Daughter, Supplementing Poems to Hang It" wrote"

…… This body can not be humiliated, and the tiger and wolf dare not look at it. Mourn this boudoir show, cherish all shame. …… Although the weak quality is not a man, he has not endured the dog. If you don't die, you don't become an adult, and you don't regret when you die. Calmly judge righteousness, abandon yourself like abandonment. The old relatives have no children, and they would rather take care of their will. The sun and the moon shine on its soul, and it is cleaner than the water of the Han River. This poem shows the universality of the Yangzhou army and people in the city to resist the Qing Dynasty, even the young children and girls resisted stubbornly, in the process of the Qing army's occupation, or killed, or slaughtered, a full ten days, Yangzhou one million people, and finally a full 800,000 people died in these ten days.

Yangzhou in the "Yangzhou Ten Days" is the first city of the rich Jiangnan, the Yanyu Jiangnan, and the Xiuqi Jiangnan to resist the Qing army stubbornly, and it is also the resolute resistance of the military and the people that the Qing soldiers encountered for the first time since entering the Shanhaiguan......

Cao Yi shook his head, shook off the "Yangzhou Ten Days" that was still echoing in his head, arrived at the Yangzhou wharf, got off the boat, and stepped on the land of Yangzhou City, which made his heart unconsciously rise a very wonderful feeling, and then he bowed three times respectfully in the incomprehensible eyes of others, facing the gate of Yangzhou City in the distance, with an unprecedented seriousness and solemnity.
