Chapter 72

Hongdou Villa in Baimao Port in the east of Changshu City, formerly known as Biwu Villa, was built in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. Because decades ago, Gu Gengguang, the second son of Gu Yuzhu, the deputy envoy of Shandong, moved from Hainan to the red bean tree, so he changed his name to Hongdou Villa, and Gu Yuzhu's grandson was Qian Qianyi.

Since returning to Changshu from Suzhou nine years ago, Qian Qianyi has ostensibly stayed at home, secretly liaising with anti-Qing and Ming restoration forces in the southwest and southeast seas. In the past few years, despite his old age and frailty, he has gone to Jinhuace many times to oppose the general soldier Ma Jinbao and oppose the Qing Dynasty.

Now Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan led the land and water army to the north again, and the news of Liankeshu Town made Qian Qianyi ecstatic. This night, the Red Bean Villa was very lively, and the news of Zhenjiang Kefu only made Qian Qianyi's whole person look very happy, and he shook his head in the pavilion of the villa and recited the poem he had just made:

"Miscellaneous and upside down, still Nandou is China. Gold and silver old knowledge Qin Huaiqi, Yunhan Xintong Bo Wangcha. The black water wandering soul cries in the meadow, and the new ghost in the white mountain cries the beard. Ten years old eyes are re-polished, and I sit and watch the finless porpoise waves. ……”

And Wei Geng hit the bowl with a chopstick, Ding Jiyi bowed his head, and Liu Ru looked at Qian Qianyi with a smile, at this time the four of them were all slightly drunk, but there was joy from the bottom of their hearts. At this moment, they seemed to see hope, and saw the hope of Daming Zhongxing.

All these years, they have been waiting for this day, and now, this day, has finally arrived. Although that day has not yet come, at least, hope is at hand.

"It's a good one to sit and watch the finless porpoise waves", wonderful! Beautiful! ”

Wei Geng shouted loudly first.

"Chu Bai, you say this well, I like "ten-year-old eyes are re-polished". ”

Ding Jizhi continued, when he said this sentence "Ten years old eyes are re-polished", the expression was very happy, as if he saw the clothes of the Han family that were put on the bottom of the box again, and saw the clothes of the Han family.

"Old looks! We've been waiting for more than 10 years. ”

Qian Qianyi said with great emotion.

"Meng Gong, now that your hard work is finally coming true, the grievances you have suffered in the past ten years can be washed away. Those who scold you and insult you will become a passing cloud, just like the "waves" in this poem, which will disappear into invisibility! ”

Ding Jizhi's words made Qian Qianyi's mood change suddenly, his expression was heavy at first, and then seemed to be relieved, and then he said in a slightly choked voice:

"Hedongjun, you heard it, when it comes to thieves and Tartars in the future, I won't think of the phrase "leader of the two dynasties" anymore! But Qian Qianyi's cultivation is extraordinary after all, he changed his tone, did not talk about personal honor and disgrace, turned his head and said with a smile:

"Speaking of the Northern Expedition General and Cangshui, it can be said that it is hard work."

"Meng Sutte is modest, if you didn't persuade Ma Jinbao to stay still, how could the General's Northern Expedition be so smooth?"

"Have you heard? There was news from Zhenjiang and Jiangyin that the Tartars had just been defeated, and without waiting for Yanping's order, the people automatically cut off the money rattail and put on a net towel, which was really enjoyable! It's so exciting......"

Ding Jizhi's face was flushed, and he drank half a glass of wine in one gulp.

"What the people want, this is what the people want!"

Qian Qianyi sighed with relief on the side.

"I heard in the market that on June 22, when the army surrounded Zhenjiang, there was a commotion in the city, and the bold residents openly cut their braids and changed their clothes. The guard general Gao Qian and the prefect Dai Keli led officials and citizen representatives to open the city to receive the Ming army. These two people probably realized that if they didn't take the initiative to donate the city as soon as possible, they were afraid that they would be kidnapped by the residents of the city and dedicated to Zheng Yanping. The army played drums and entered the city, and the city was happy as if it was the New Year, and even more fathers and elders said to the Ming army: "We have been waiting for 16 years!" On that day, Zheng Yanping was dressed in Gebu and arrows, wearing red boots and Zhang Zigai, and the people in the city were all greeted by the road, so not majestic. It is also said that the king of Yanping specially ordered his iron tiger guards to line up in front of the Ganlu Temple, and the people have never seen such warriors, and they all put up their big fingers, calling them heavenly soldiers. Is there such a thing? ”

Liu Ruye's expression was both excited and envious, she really wanted to stand on the scene in person and cheer for those iron men.

"How not! Jiangpu is even more strange, with only eight iron guards, scaring away more than a hundred thieves and Tartars! The people also made up nursery rhymes to sing: "Is it a tiger? Not. Eight iron generals, scared away the city guards! ”

Wei Geng, who has a witty personality, sang softly, and the tone of the song was subdued, which only made the four of them laugh, they had been waiting for this day for too long.

In fact, since ten days ago, when the news of Jiangyin City's overnight recovery came, they had celebrated like this, and compared to Jiangyin, the big victory in the battle of Zhenjiang gave them enough reason to laugh.

"Those Tartar soldiers are usually arrogant, when did they take my Han people as a thing, and today I finally see the majesty of our Han army."

Qian Qianyi said on the side, when he said this, his eyes were slightly red, and the tears of excitement were about to fall.

"I also heard that a Tartar leader took off his military uniform and fled, and came to a village shop, and he was hungry and thirsty, and when he saw that the customers in the shop were talking and laughing loudly, the Tartar asked what was going on, and the old woman of the village shop immediately replied, "I have heard that the northerners have been killed!" "The scared Tartar didn't even dare to eat, so he left quickly......"

As soon as his words fell, there was another burst of laughter, as if for them, the defeat of the Manchu Tartars was just around the corner.

"I think that at the beginning, when the old man first met Yanping, he was twenty-one years old. Compared with his father, he was simple and heroic, and the old man thought that this person was extraordinary, so he recognized him as a disciple. ”

mentioned the scene when he first saw Zheng Chenggong more than ten years ago, although Zheng Chenggong worshiped his disciples at that time, but for Qian Qianyi, who had many disciples, he was not very impressed by the pirate disciple, and the reason why he was accepted was more because of his apprenticeship ceremony worth tens of thousands of taels, but now it is not as good as Qian Qianyi specifically mentioning this matter there, and then said in a rather gratifying tone.

"He writes this poem well, and it is really a poem."

After that, Qian Qianyi groaned.

"Su Linjiang swears to destroy Hu, the male master swallows Wu with 100,000 angers, try to see the moat and throw the whip crossing, don't believe in the Central Plains and don't have the surname Zhu!"

"Good! What a good one who doesn't believe that Zhongyuan is not surnamed Zhu! If my generals of the Ming Dynasty are all like Yanping, why worry that this Central Plains is not surnamed Zhu! ”

In the applause of everyone, Ding Jizhi said,

"Yanping still has a ...... article"

Then he recited one of the verses.

"But Zhongshan picks up the soil, which is the heroic spirit of the Seventeen Emperors, and it is hereby relied on; The people of the southern country, supported by the grace of three hundred years, serve today. All I have the same hatred, and I do not share the righteousness. Don't take the lead, it will become a beacon fire; The arrow is the stamina, and the alliance with the strong backwater ......"

After Ding Jizhi finished reading this text, looking at the solemn expressions of the two, Qian Qianyi looked at the two of them and said.

"Actually, today, the old man invited the two of them to the cold house, just because he had something important to discuss with the two!"

(oops...... Liu Ru yes...... More than 40...... Tangled, hesitant...... Do you like it? ）
