Chapter 383: Liuren (First Update, Asking for Support)
"If you are suspicious and cautious, you will be very little; See more and less, and be cautious about the rest, and regret it. Words are scarce, deeds are regretful, and Lu is in it......"
In the back office of the Ningguta Governor's Office, two young men who were no more than seven or eight years old were shaking their heads and reciting the articles in the Analects. Wu Zhaoqian, who had not slept all night, was a little distracted, these two teenagers were the sons of Ba Hai, the governor of Ningguta, who used to explore flowers for the Manchurian list, and had already moved to the Secretariat to study for a bachelor's degree a few years ago. After the death of his father Sha Erhuda, because he had been stationed in Ningguta for a long time, he was very popular in the vicinity, so after his death, in order to maintain his rule in this place, he was ordered to inherit his father's position and be appointed as the governor of Ningguta, so that he left the prosperous place of the capital and came to Ningguta.
When Wu Zhaoqian was a little distracted, Ba Hai, who had just returned from a trip to Heilongjiang two months ago, quietly came to the back house to listen to the articles memorized by his sons, he nodded slightly, he was quite trusting of Wu Zhaoqian's talent, although he was the Tanhua of the Manchurian list, but he knew that the little talent in his stomach could never be compared with Wu Zhaoqian, so he asked Wu Zhaoqian to teach his son knowledge.
"It's a pity ......"
Looking at his son who was carrying the article on his back, thinking of the current situation, Bahai naturally thought of the original intention of hoping that his sons would learn the article well, but he hoped that they would be able to become officials in Beijing in the future, instead of guarding this bitter cold place like their father and son.
And now...... The Jingshi, whether it can go back or not, is still between the two, this Taiyuan city has been occupied by the Ming army, and the Ming army has threatened Gyeonggi.
If the situation continues to develop like this, there may be a time when the imperial court will abandon its family and business and leave Manchuria again, abandon the Guannai again, and flee to the Guanwai in a hurry and return to the Manchurian hometown, but at that time, will the Han people still let the Manchus escape back to the Guanwai smoothly?
Ay......
With a long sigh, he never thought that in just a few years, the situation had developed like this, but he just sighed, and his expression was full of worry.
"Report!"
Right here, someone came to report it.
"The messenger from the capital division is here!"
As soon as he heard that it was a messenger from the Beijing Division, Bahai naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest, so he hurriedly walked out of the study and personally greeted him in the compound.
The person who came was a messenger from Jingshi, and he took out a letter.
"Prince Xian's secret letter!"
Prince Xian Fushou is the king of the council, as soon as he heard that it was Prince Xian's secret letter, Bahai hurriedly and cautiously retreated, and then opened the letter.
Opening the letter and seeing the contents of the letter, his brows furrowed slightly, and when he put the letter away, he asked with some puzzlement.
"Send his family to the Yalu River Shipyard, is this what Prince Xian means? Still is? ”
This dense letter is indeed Prince Xian's own handwriting, once served as a bachelor in the Secretariat in Beijing, so he can naturally recognize it, and there is also the seal of Prince Xian, for the poor tone of Ningguta, there is no need for the emperor's holy decree, but this person's identity is really a little different.
"The prince knows that you will be puzzled, so I specially let the villain tell you that now the shipbuilding and transportation of rice in the Yalu River Shipyard is related to the lifeblood of my Qing Dynasty, and that person is good at navigation and shipbuilding, so the court intends to make him guilty and make meritorious contributions, so he will be ordered to move his family to the shipyard, but you need to be careful to prevent him from escaping, if he absconds, he can be killed immediately!"
The messenger commanded him to nod his head slightly, and then he listened only to the letter.
"If he absconds, in addition to Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao, his entire family will also be killed together, so as to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer in the future!"
In this way, Ba Hai, who was still a little confused, immediately no longer had the slightest doubt, and quickly nodded in response.
"Please go up and tell the prince, the slave will not live up to the trust! They will never be allowed to escape from the city......"
This letter is true, it is really a letter written by Prince Xian Fu Shou, and the signal and password are all under Fu Shou, so naturally Ba Hai does not have the slightest doubt, after ordering the messenger to rest, he returned to the study, looked at the letter, a little lost Ba Hai, after a while, he hid the letter in the box, and then gave some orders to his cronies, before he walked slowly towards the back house, seeing the sons who listened carefully to the teacher's teaching, Ba Hai's expression looked a little lost, and Wu Zhaoqian also noticed the change in his expression, However, he didn't show any expression, but after the lecture, he walked up to Bahai and said.
"The villain has seen the adult."
"No courtesy, Hancha doesn't need to be polite."
After the two exchanged politeness for a while, they asked deliberately in Wu Zhaoqian.
"The villain sees the adult's sad face, I don't know what troubles there are, you might as well say it, maybe the villain can also solve the adult's worries?"
"You can't solve this worry!"
Bahai shook his head, and then couldn't help but sigh.
"I think that when I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, how good the time and place were, but who would have thought, but only for more than ten years, but I had to get out of the customs in a hurry, and decades of work were ruined! Alas......"
In this long sigh, Wu Zhaoqian's eyes widened in horror, he looked at Bahai in horror, and asked in a nervous tone.
"Great, why did you say that...... my lord?"
"You don't know......"
Ba Hai sighed, now he knows what Prince Xian's letter came out of, and from the information he got before, he knows that the reason why Prince Xian is like this may have a lot to do with the situation in Guannai.
"Your Excellency, are you worried about the situation at this time?"
Ba Hai's words made Wu Zhaoqian's heart move, and he asked puzzled.
Nodding his head, Bahai looked south, his tone full of melancholy.
"I don't know what the Kannai looks like now, but now I'm afraid the imperial court has begun to plan for the worst."
What is the worst-case plan, naturally is to withdraw outside the border.
"Now, the things that the court urges are for the future, after all, ......"
When the words came to his mouth, Bahai did not continue, the imperial court valued Nanyang rice, not because of anything else, but because when nearly a million bannermen retreated back to Manchuria, their rations could only rely on Nanyang rice, since the army entered the customs, the land of Manchuria was abandoned for more than ten years, and after the army retreated, how to make a living was something that the imperial court had to solve, so Prince Xian would write this secret letter.
If the situation was not so tense, how could Prince Xian risk letting that person go to the Yalu River?
"Hey, in short, now that the court has a life, those of us who are slaves just have to run errands."
Bahai replied casually.
Wu Zhaoqian, who knew that Bahai didn't want to say any more, didn't continue to ask, but just said goodbye first, but at this time, his heart was quite excited, although Bahai didn't say it, but he had already got the answer he needed - the Qing army was likely to withdraw outside the Guan!
The situation in Kannai was far more favorable than he had imagined!
Thinking of this, Wu Zhaoqian suddenly became excited, and when he left the governor's mansion and walked home, he saw more than a dozen people in armor in front of a nearby mansion, where more than ten people in armor were urging the people in the house to get into the car quickly, and the house was also quite chaotic.
"What's going on?"
Wu Zhaoqian walked over and asked the people who were watching the excitement.
"Who knows, someone from the Governor's Mansion ordered the people of the Zheng family to pack their luggage within an hour, saying that they were going to move to another place, you see, the daughter of the Zheng family is crying and packing her luggage?"
Without looking into the courtyard, Wu Zhaoqian could also hear the crying of the women in the courtyard, and a dark-faced man stood there outside the courtyard gate with a panicked expression.
"This, Master Xu, this, why is this?"
Zheng Zhilong asked the master Xu Maoling in the governor's mansion with some trepidation, and even took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist, since he surrendered to the Qing court not long ago, the millions of taels of silver he brought were soon extorted by Dolgon and others, but since this is the case, he has not been able to keep his hope of glory and wealth, since six years ago, Zheng Chenggong refused to surrender to the Manchu Dynasty, at that time Zheng Zhilong had been incorporated into the Han Army's Zhenghong Banner, and was named by Guishun to the first-class Jingqi Nihafan Zheng Zhilong was on the high wall, and his brother Zheng Zhibao was exiled to Ningguta, two years ago, The original Zheng Chenggong general Huang Wu was sparse, and he insisted that the family of the traitor should be expelled from the imperial capital, but he was ordered to fill the army in Shengjing Ningguta, but it did not succeed under the bribery of Zheng Zhilong. Half a year ago, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty intercepted the private messages between Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong, the Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers of the Council of Parliaments planned to behead Zheng and change it to exile to Ningguta, and then sent it to Ningguta.
Although it was only a few months since he came to Ningguta, which was freezing on this day, after tasting the bitter cold of this place, Zheng Zhilong's heart had already regretted it, and he often lamented why he was obsessed. went to surrender to the Qing court, but ended up like this.
"I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!"
Whenever he has free time, Zheng Zhilong always sighs like this.
Especially now the situation in the world, since two years ago has changed greatly, when he left the Beijing division and was sent to Ningguta, the people in the Beijing division were already panicked, all worried about the Ming army's Northern Expedition, and now seeing that the Ming Dynasty has turned over, and he is in such a bitter cold place, how can this not make Zheng Zhilong annoyed?
And this sudden move to another place made Zheng Zhilong even more annoyed by the chagrin in his heart, but he was even more nervous about his life, lest he be cut off by the capricious captives in a rage!
The jade pendant made of warm Hetian Meiyu was stuffed into his hand, and Xu Maoling said softly when he smiled quietly.
"The lord can rest assured, this time the lord left this place because the court has a use for the lord."
Although Zheng Zhilong's first-class Jingqi Niha Fan knighthood has been abolished, Xu Maoling still calls him a lord, of course, this respect has a price, for him, people like Zheng Zhilong in Yu Ningguta are his God of Wealth, how can he let him go, after saying this, he stopped speaking, and Zheng Zhilong didn't know, he hurriedly glanced at his younger brother on the side, took a string of pearls from Zheng Zhibao, and stuffed it into Xu Maoling's hand.
"I don't know, what's the use of the imperial court with my two brothers?"
