When Wang Qiang and they were actively preparing, the domestic situation has undergone great changes, Li Zicheng retreated from the defeat of Shanhaiguan to the capital, the elite was lost, and he felt that the defenders of the capital could not resist the attack of 300,000 iron cavalry of the Manchu Dynasty, so he decided to withdraw to the old nest of Shaanxi, reorganize the army to counterattack, and when he left, Li Zicheng officially ascended the throne in the Wuying Hall and called the emperor, and after a handful of emperor addiction, the next day the Dashun army withdrew to the west direction with the property looted from the capital. Before leaving, Li Zicheng ordered the killing of 38 members of Wu Xiang's family. Dolgon led the army to Wu Sangui as the vanguard, under the banner of revenge for the Chongzhen Emperor into Beijing, when the Ming Dynasty was rejoicing that the Ming Dynasty was restored, the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty had ascended the throne as the emperor in the Taihe Palace, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty also officially announced that the capital would be moved to the capital. It turned out that it was the Tatars who occupied Beijing and led Wu Sangui into the customs, and the face of betraying the country and joining the enemy was officially exposed to the world. The Qing army did not stop in the capital, the Qing army was divided into two routes, Dolgon and Wu Sangui for the north road, marched to Shanxi, all the way to pursue Li Zicheng, Duoduo took the Han king Geng Jingzhong to march to Henan for the south road, outflanking Li Zicheng from the flank. The two armies fought fierce battles in Shanxi and Henan.

After analyzing the domestic situation, Wang Qiang, monk Dayong and others sent an envoy to Shanxi to meet Li Zicheng to show the sincerity of the Taiping army to join hands with him to resist the Qing Dynasty, and the other discussed with Lu Xiangsheng to send troops to Xiangyang to block the passage of the Qing army to the south, and was ready to enter Henan at any time to resist the Qing army.

In June of this year, Lu Xiangsheng led 10,000 defenders from Hubei, Shang Dayong and Li Gang each led 20,000 Taiping troops to Xiangyang, and Wang Qiang stayed at the helm of Wuchang.

The army was pulled out, Tian Jingming, Li Gang, and Shang Dayong left one after another, and the general rudder was suddenly cleared, and Wang Qiang was still a little uncomfortable for a while. After he finishes the affairs of the church every day, he occasionally sneaks to the back mountain to chat with Chen Yuanyuan and listen to music, but for some reason, he always feels that there is something between him and Yuanyuan, and he is always polite together, but not as comfortable and casual as before. Yuanyuan already knew about Wu Sangui's surrender, so he was naturally completely desperate, and the two deliberately avoided this topic when they were together.

On this day, Wang Qiang finished dealing with his official business, he felt bored, and sat alone in front of the desk in a daze, thinking that after sending away Concubine Li and Cai Ling'er, they would not even have a woman to serve, and even that Li'er was gone, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. Thinking of Li'er, Wang Qiang couldn't help but be moved, this girl is weak and well-behaved, she has always followed herself, and she is not angry, she was just in the SAR Mansion because she didn't succeed when she saw that there were ringtones, and now I feel a little regretful, if only Li'er could serve now. He was in a daze when he heard someone whispering in his ear: "Li'er asks the master for peace." ”

He suddenly came back to his senses, and actually saw Li'er standing timidly in front of him, he thought he was dreaming, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then looked, that's right, in front of him was the Li'er he was talking about in his heart, he jumped up from the chair in surprise, stepped forward and hugged Li'er's shoulders, and said: "Li'er, it's really you, I'm thinking about you in my heart, but coincidentally, you came." ”

That Li'er shook her shoulders slightly, struggled, her face flushed with shame, and said softly: "It's nonsense, Li'er is just a maid, what kind of position is it, how can the master miss me." ”

Wang Qiang liked Li'er's supple and shy appearance the most, so he took Li'er in his arms, made a mouth, and said with a wicked smile: "These days, I have been thinking about you for a long time, but I didn't expect to really think of you." ”

Li'er blushed shyly, put her hands in front of her chest, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Master, let go, it's terrible that Mrs. has seen it." ”

"My wife can't see it, they have already left for Yunnan, this is my world, no one cares about us. Why don't you know," Wang Qiang said, one hand was still irregularly separated, and Li'er's hands were caressing indiscriminately.

Li'er said shyly: "I was sick a few days ago, and I was recuperating at a relative's house, but when I returned home today, I found that the house was empty, thinking that my wife had moved here, so I found it, and I didn't want to leave." That's it, Li'er just catches up. After saying that, he struggled to get out.

Wang Qiang's lust has been aroused, how to allow her to escape, picked up Li'er, and said: "You are here soon, where can I let you go, and besides, I also need someone to take care of me here, so you can stay with me and serve." ”

Na Li'er stared at Wang Qiang with two eyes, and said stupidly: "Master, Mrs. will know about this sooner or later, I am afraid that I will not be tolerated, and besides, I am still a girl's family, if you want me, you can't abandon each other in the future." But he meant to confess.

Wang Qiang was already confused at this time, where to care about anything else, holding Li'er and striding into the inner bedroom, but Li'er was like drunk, confused and completely unresisted, let that Wang Qiang swayed forward and raged. Until the matter was closed, Wang Qiang saw the red cherry blossoms on the sheets, and held Li'er to his chest with pity, and swore to comfort her softly, and Li'er was determined to follow Wang Qiang from then on.

During this period of time, Wang Qiang was more comfortable, he hid Jiao in the golden house, and received Li'er, who had a soft temperament, everything was determined by his temperament, not as rapping and eventful as Cailing'er, so that he could do his best to be a big man's prestige, Li'er took care of his diet and daily life, and helped him sort out the documents and letters, meticulous and thoughtful, considerate, Wang Qiang was very satisfied, he is now completely self-reliant, no longer need to hide it, the big man's three wives and four concubines are what he yearns for, he plans to give Li'er a name in the future, anyway, the wood is already in the boat, I can't say anything about that ringtone.

The power of the Taiping Sect is also growing, Tian Jingming escorted the prince and the concubine to Yunnan to take up his post, and brought a large number of people and horses, plus the Taiping Sect's rudder in Yunnan already had some foundation, so as soon as he took office, he quickly gained a foothold, and the original local forces all surrendered, Leng Feng cooperated with him to quickly rectify the defenders in Yunnan, and through the transfer of officials, the transfer of the team and other means, the military power of the whole province was basically in the hands of the Taiping Sect, laying the foundation for the next step of development.

The power of the Taiping Sect in various places has developed rapidly, and the Taiping Sect has been under the banner of resisting the Qing Dynasty, and now the Manchu invasion has become a fact, and the purpose of the Taiping Sect has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people

The Taiping troops in the Fang provinces carried out local operations to resist the Qing army, while the southern provinces actively raised food and soldiers to send them to the Wuchang General Helm. The Tianping Sect has become an important force that all forces in the country dare not underestimate.

The domestic situation is becoming more and more complicated, and the affairs of the church are getting busier and busier, and Wang Qiang gradually begins to feel powerless. After all, he is an ordinary person, young and inexperienced, and has no experience in independent governance, and history has pushed him to the current level by chance, which is completely beyond his ability. Although he used to be very beautiful and did several important military affairs, he relied on Chongzhen's power and his own cleverness; Because he knows the process of historical development, he can roughly predict the events of historical development, but he does not really have the ability to analyze and control the overall situation. Now that he really weighs on his shoulders a big mess of things that oversees the overall situation, he can't bear it, Wang Qiang is surrounded by a lot of government affairs all day long, making his head dizzy and miserable, and slowly realizing the hardships of Emperor Chongzhen's early and greedy governance, and gradually clearly realize the limitations of his ability. He knew that he was not in charge of the overall situation, and he couldn't be the family of the Taiping Sect, and if he continued like this, sooner or later he would bring heavy losses to the development of the Taiping Sect because of his mistakes, and he couldn't help but have the idea of retreating. He began to push more and more government affairs directly to Li Gang and Gu Yanwu to deal with them, and he only took the advice of the counselor, which was not because he was lazy, but deliberately let a few cronies and assistants gradually take over his power to prepare for his future retirement.

On this day, there was news from outside that Zhang Xiaodong, the new governor of Hubei, had arrived in Wuchang City, that Zhang Xiaodong was Wang Qiang's friend, and he also saved Wang Qiang's life, although the two were very different in age, they were brothers, Zhang Xiaodong's younger brother Zhang Xiaoping, daughter Lan Ting and Wang Qiang's relationship was also extraordinary, so Wang Qiang rushed to meet Zhang Xiaodong that afternoon.

Zhang Xiaodong and Wang Qiang haven't seen each other for several years, and they were overjoyed to see him visiting, and it happened that Zhang Xiaoping was also there, and the three of them were drinking tea and talking in the pavilion in the garden of Fuzhong.

Zhang Xiaodong shook his round head and looked at Wang Qiang and said: "Oh, I haven't seen you for a few years, your brother is getting more and more energetic, and now he is the leader of the sect, which is impressive, this time I have to rely on you to help me." ”

"Needless to say, Brother Zhang sacrificed his wealth to save him from righteousness, so that I am Wang Qiang today, I am not grateful, and if you need to use my place, brother, you can just speak." Wang Qiang said with a smile.

"It's so happy, now the ground in Hubei is your brother's world, and I am relieved to have your words. Hahahaha. Zhang Xiaodong laughed happily.

Zhang Xiaodong finished laughing, and then said: "At the beginning, I received an order from the imperial court, saying that I would be transferred to Hubei, I was full of unhappiness, this is ostensibly a promotion, but this will soon be a place of war and trouble, and I am not familiar with the place, where can I be free and happy in Suzhou." Later, when I inquired, I said that your brother was here, and this was also the helmsman of the Taiping Sect, so I knew that it was your brother's idea to transfer me, so I came. With your brother's protection, what am I afraid of?"

Zhang Xiaoping knew some of the details of the Taiping Sect, and knew that Wang Qiang was now in power and respect, so he politely interjected and said: "Lord Wang is now raising the banner of righteousness to resist the Qing Dynasty, and everyone is returning to their hearts, and I am burdened with heavy responsibilities. ”

"Okay, now that we have made our banner clear, we don't have to be as sneaky as we were in the Northeast, you can let go of your guts, and now Tian Jingming has become the governor of Yunnan again, where there are rich resources, and we Taiping Sect need a lot of materials, these businesses are enough for you to do." Wang Qiang said.

Zhang Xiaoping said: "I didn't want to do any business this time, I was going to join the Taiping Sect to follow the adults to do a career, in fact, when I was in the Northeast, I guessed that the adults were secretly accumulating strength, I taught at the military academy, and Mr. Gu, General Leng and others had a lot of contact, knowing that they were all patriotic and promising hot-blooded men, I wanted to join you at that time, but it was a matter of confidentiality, and there was no point between us, so I didn't bring it up, this time I discussed it with my brother, and the business was handed over to other people in the family to take care of, I wholeheartedly joined the religion, in order to drive out the Tartars, to create a peaceful and prosperous world, and I hope that the sect leader will accept it. ”

Wang Qiang heard that Zhang Xiaoping wanted to join the church, and said excitedly: "Okay, we need a character like you to develop the economy, in fact, with your personality and talent, I have long been willing to accept it, but I take into account your family's wealth, I am afraid that you will be wronged when you join the church, so it is not easy to mention, since this is the case, you will help me take charge of the business opened in the sect, and I will also be responsible for the overall procurement of military supplies." ”

Zhang Xiaoping stood up and said, "Follow the instructions of the sect master." ”

Zhang Xiaodong said with a smile: "Hehe, I said brother, you are now a man of the hour, and everyone expects you, although I am not a person in the sect, I am also willing to contribute to the resistance to the Qing Dynasty, and I can also try my best to assist you in doing some things when I am the governor of Hubei." ”

Wang Qiang said: "Okay."

After a pause, Wang Qiang asked: "Brother Zhang, you are close to Nanjing, what is the situation of this small court in the Southern Ming Dynasty?"

Zhang Xiaodong's expression darkened, shook his head and said, "It's really chilling to say. Now this court does not want to avenge the first emperor, nor does it want to resist the Manchu Qing, and it fights for power and profit all day long. Emperor Hongguang was originally a gentleman, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he actually began to choose concubines to build a palace, which made chickens and dogs jump in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people's resentment was boiling. In order to keep the throne, he made wishes everywhere, wooed courtiers, and the princes sealed a lot of them, and he had no serious plans at all. Several ministers in the DPRK and China are also squeezing each other, and now the power of the court is in the hands of Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, the two of them sell their official positions and cultivate private parties, and Shi Kefa and others in the cabinet department of the DPRK and China have been suppressed. ”

Wang Qiang listened, these situations are similar to what he understands, he said with a solemn face: "It seems that the rise and fall of this dynasty is still inevitable, and once it will die, it is not the matter of which emperor, but the responsibility of a whole person, it is not the enthronement of King Fu, and it is probably the same if someone else is replaced." ”

"Yes, Qi Gen is rotten, and no matter how beautiful the surface is, it is useless. Those of us who are magistrates are also monks for a day and beat the clock for a day to protect the people, but we don't have to say anything loyal to the court. Zhang Xiaodong said with a sigh

They were talking lively, only to see a figure behind the rockery flashing, but it was Lan Ting who was walking quickly towards the inner courtyard, Zhang Xiaodong saw it, and shouted loudly: "Ting'er, don't you come over and see your uncle soon."

Na Lan Ting turned his back to them and hesitated for a long time, then slowly turned around, walked to the pavilion, and said to Wang Qiangfu, "Lan Ting greets my uncle." But his eyes were lowered and he did not dare to look at anyone.

When Wang Qiang saw Lan Ting, he remembered that he was injured and pretended to be unconscious, Lan Ting took great care of himself, and confided in his heart, and felt warm in his heart, and said softly: "No need to be polite, it has been three years since the Northeast was parting, why didn't you even say hello when you left, is it that I am too depressed there, or my mother-in-law gave you anger, if so, you tell your uncle, I will go and give you anger, hahahaha." ”

"This" Lan Ting's face turned pale, thinking that Wang Qiang had gone mad when he practiced and lost his mind and inadvertently violated himself, so he left the Northeast in shame, he loved the "uncle" in front of him, but because of the difference in generation, he couldn't do what he wanted, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and quickly lowered his head and whispered: "Uncle sit down, nephew farewell." After saying that, he turned around and hurried back to his room.

Zhang Xiaodong saw that Lan Ting was rude, but he didn't suspect that he was going elsewhere, frowned and said: "Hey, this girl, the older she gets, the more ignorant she is, it turns out that she is lively and naughty, she knows how to run crazy all day long, and when she came back from the Northeast, she suddenly changed her temperament, and she didn't talk to people all day long, and she didn't ask anything, like a stuffy gourd jar." ”

Wang Qiang also didn't know why, and said with a smile: "I said Brother Zhang, this is your mistake." This woman has changed eighteen, Lan Ting is now older, it is time to get married, so she naturally has to accept her temperament, you are too careless to be a father. ”

"You have wronged me, this girl is nineteen years old this year, I am more anxious than anyone else, the media said that the pro is about to break the threshold of our family, but she just shouldn't live or die, what do you want me to do" Zhang Xiaodong clapped his palms and said a little angrily. He pointed at Wang Qiang and said, "Hey, since you mentioned it, you naturally have to help, you have a lot of talents there, and you also help find and find them." ”

"No problem, wrap it up on me." Wang Qiang patted his chest and said.

Wang Qiang suddenly remembered that Yuanyuan was inevitably lonely in that small courtyard all day long, but he was in the same situation as Lan Ting, so he said: "By the way, there is a girl living on Luojia Mountain behind our general rudder, who is my friend, and she is also alone all day long, her age and temperament are similar to Lan Ting, it is better to ask Lan Ting to take the time to find her, and the two of them are also companions when they talk and laugh." ”

Zhang Xiaodong nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xiaoping has not spoken on the side, when he was in the Northeast, he observed that Lan Ting's concern for Wang Qiang exceeded the level of normal friends or juniors, just now he also saw Lan Ting standing behind the rockery and kept looking at Wang Qiang, which confirmed his guess, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's really evil, pity Lan Ting's girl." ”

That night, the three of them drank in Zhang's mansion and dispersed.

Wang Qiang returned to the helm, remembered Tian Jingming's request for instructions on the disposal of Yunnan's overly concentrated land, and decided to write a letter to Tian Jingming overnight. Li'er has been with Wang Qiang, grinding ink and paper for him, and also reading the content of the letter, after the letter was written, Wang Qiang also missed the sleepiness, and took Li'er in his arms to chat.

Li'er asked: "Master, I see that your letter is full of land, land rent or something, how can you still have the leisure to take care of this matter, the war in the north is so tight, isn't it more important than this?"

Wang Qiang said: "Silly girl, we haven't fought with the Qing army yet, and besides, the war is under the command of Lu Dashuai, and I am not good at it." The land thing is actually more important than anything else. You said that so many people have fought with their lives to fight for the world, but what is this world is the people and the land. The land is barren, the people are displaced and have no land, the court has no taxes, this problem is not solved, what is the use of whoever takes the world? ”

"Oh. I know, the lord wants the common people to have land to plant, and the court to have taxes, but what if the Manchu Qing Dynasty calls" Li'er asked curiously.

"Hehe, don't be afraid. There were not many people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and as long as we Han people worked together, we would definitely be able to drive the Qing army out. The key is ourselves, if we don't find a way to reassure the people and make the people hungry, then there is a big reason, and the people will not follow you. Wang Qiang said.

"Then if the emperors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty win the hearts of the people, can they also win the world?" asked Li'er, staring at Wang Qiang with a pair of eyes.

These words made it difficult for Wang Qiang to answer, let the Manchu Qing win the world, he was unwilling in his heart no matter what, but if the Manchu Qing really implemented moral governance, would it be supported by the common people If that is the case, what should he do He thought and said: "If the Manchu Qing can win the hearts of the people, it will naturally be able to win the world." But this was too difficult for the Manchus. You think, this Central Plains has always been the world of the Han people, the Han people are fighting back and forth, no matter who becomes the emperor, the common people don't care, for example, Li Zicheng occupied the capital and became the emperor, the people don't hate him, but feel that he is better than that Chongzhen. But if the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupied Beijing, the common people would be unwilling, thinking that it was a foreign race, even if you were better than that Chongzhen, everyone would still be resentful. It's like in their own family, the two brothers beat their heads for the family property, but no matter how they fight, the family property is still their own, and it's not a big deal. But if someone else broke into the house and wanted to take something away, the two brothers would stop doing it, and they would do it with outsiders together. Therefore, it was not so easy for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to win the hearts of the people of the Central Plains. ”

"Oh, I see." Li'er said thoughtfully.

Wang Qiang smiled curiously: "Hehe, when did Li'er start to care about national affairs." ”

Li'er blushed and said: "It's not smoked out with the master all day long, in fact, I don't care about the people's hearts and the world, I only know that my heart is the master's, and no one else has to go." ”

Wang Qiang was itchy and proud of Li'er's words, picked her up and walked into the inner room, and said in a bad voice: "It's not enough to have a heart, this person is also my master." Ha ha. ”
