The Qinhuai River, which gave birth to the ancient civilization in the south of the Yangtze River, is a mother river that has made great contributions.

I never thought that to this day, when it comes to Qinhuai River, there is always some ambiguity between words. From dignitaries to peddlers and pawns, men always have to have a tacit lewd smile between their words. The brightly lit building boat shop and the gentle township of drunken gold fans have become synonymous with Flower Street and Willow Lane.

"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river." The fall of the community and the invasion of foreign races do not seem to have had any effect here.

The benefactors who came to patronize were still the previous Ming gentry. The only difference may be that these officials have changed their hairstyles and have a ridiculous pigtail on the back of their heads.

The girls are just poor people who sell laughter, so what qualifications do they have to choose benefactors, not to mention that they have pigtails on their heads, even if they are really pigs, they can only smile with tears in their eyes, and they will be happy to welcome Bojun.

Pushing open the small windowsill of the building boat, the lazy beauty put on a fine Luo morning coat, bare a pair of jade feet, and traced her eyebrows to the bronze mirror by herself. She is the most popular Oiran in Qinhuai in ten miles, and Bian Yujing, one of the eight Yans of Qinhuai. At that time, there was a lustful prince and grandson, who once said: "The wine is looking for Bian Yujing, and Chen Yuanyuan is at the bottom of the flower".

"Why are you so lonely today?"

The delicate little maid beside her combed her hair and said, "Yesterday, I heard Wu Gongzi's little maid say that Lord Hong Chengchou is coming to Jinling today. It is said that Lord Hong has been promoted again, and he has become a big official called a university scholar. Those who come to our place will definitely go to greet them. ”

Bian Yujing was noncommittal and continued to draw his eyebrows. National hatred and family hatred are too distant topics for these canaries.

Outside the city gate of Jinling, there has long been a long queue, and now the Qing army is large, and Hong Chengchou is appointed by the Qing court to appease the southern governor of the military affairs university, which can be said to be the grass king of the south of the Yangtze River. For a while, the dignitaries in Jinling City rushed to greet him, for fear that the position would be too far back, and Scholar Hong would not see him.

Seeing Hong Chengchou's frame from afar, these people smiled like blooming chrysanthemums. Hong Chengchou looked at this group of gentry who were very excited and happy to see themselves than their fathers, and they had mixed feelings for a while.

The last time I was welcomed by the sandwich road, it was when I defeated the Shaanxi Liukou, and the late Emperor Chongzhen added an official to himself. It's just that at that time, most of the people in the crowd were rejoicing ordinary people, but today there are no people, all of them are dignitaries with brocade clothes and jade belts.

In order to dispel the nostalgia of the Han people for the Ming Dynasty, the Qing court renamed Jinling Jiangning, and the governor of Jiangning was the national treasure of the earth. It's a pity that now the governor of the land, who is the best at handling these matters to welcome the officials, has already landed on the ground.

In the crowd, Cao Cunxing, the governor of Jiangning, came forward, knelt down to Hong Chengchou's frame and said: "Xiaguan and Jiangning's father, welcome Scholar Hong." We have set up a banquet in Changle Building, and we also invite adults to appreciate their faces. ”

When everyone behind them heard this, they knelt down one after another, and even the Jinling city wall behind them seemed to be a little shorter.

Hong Chengchou lifted the curtain and said, "Thank you Jiang Ning's father for me, the military situation is urgent, so don't eat and drink." Inform the officials of Jiangning and go to the governor's office for discussion. ”

After saying that, the carriage and horse went all the way into the city and went straight to the governor's office in Jinling.

The people behind him got up and looked at each other, all feeling that their faces were lost.

Cao Cunxing's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord Hong doesn't like extravagance, so let's disperse." Civil and military officials, come with me to meet your lordship. ”

Cao Cunxing led people into the governor's office, and Hong Chengchou was already sitting on the top and had been waiting for him for a long time.

When the hundred officials saw Lord Hong in a military uniform, they didn't dare to slack off, and they all sat down according to their positions.

Hong Chengchou omitted the politeness at the beginning, and said directly: "I think everyone knows that Hou Xuanyan, a traitor in Jiading, first defrauded Suzhou, and then killed Lord Bolo, Lord Belle. Borobelle is the grandson of Taizu, with dragon blood and dragon veins, and this revenge cannot be avenged. Recently, I heard that he was in Hangzhou again, killing the governor of Jiangning, the governor of Jiangning, the governor of Tu Guobao, and the governor of Zhejiang, Zhang Cunren. These are all members of the country from the second grade, and this revenge cannot be avenged. You are guarding Jiangning, not far from Suzhou, what do you have to say to this official? ”

Everyone in the hall was silent, and Hong Chengchou looked angry, and he was about to have a seizure. At this time, a personal soldier entered the hall, knelt down and said: "Lord Qiqi, there is a messenger from Suzhou, claiming to see your lordship. ”

Hong Chengchou and the other Qing generals all paused for a moment, and then said, "Let them in." ”

Xu Yuanbao walked into the hall loudly, and a few soldiers from Jiading behind him, they didn't care that this was the enemy's lair.

When he came, Hou Xuanyan said that Hong Chengchou would never hurt them, and Hou Xuanyan's words were tantamount to a golden rule in the ears of the remnants of Jiading.

"What did Hou Xuan do as a thief and let you come?"

Hong Chengchou's voice was rare with a little trill, he really couldn't imagine that Hou Xuanyan could send a messenger at this time, what could happen. They were already on the same page with each other, and he killed the Qing court's Beile Ye, which was an unprecedented loss since entering the customs. Even if the Qing court accepted the surrender of the Southern Ming Emperor, it would not accept Hou Xuanyan.

Xu Yuanbao didn't dare to be too big, he shook his head, grinned and said: "Our Lord Hou said that we are willing to exchange the corpses of Boluo, Ji Xiha, Hetuo, Zhang Cunren, and Tu Guobao for 800 catties of gunpowder, 10,000 stone of grain, and 3,000 military horses. If you change it, don't forget to bring these things with you when you lead your troops to Suzhou City. ”

Hong Chengchou's eyes were full of anger, and he said coldly: "What if the official is not changed? ”

Xu Yuanbao didn't care about Hong Chengchou's coercion, he was just a traitor, no matter how big the official was, he was just a groveling dog slave in his eyes.

"Our lord said, you'd better ask your master for this matter, if you make your own decisions, we're afraid that you will be scolded by your master."

Cao Cunxing jumped out and scolded: "Shut up! Dog mongrels dare to insult Hon. ”

Hong Chengchou waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Stand down." The two armies are fighting, and if they don't kill them, I, Hong Chengchou, am not Hou Xuanyan, and I don't need to use the methods of obscene villains. ”

Xu Yuanbao heard him insult Hou Xuanyan, and sneered at each other: "I have already said it, we obscene villains who don't want to surrender will go first." Scholar Hong, my lord asked me to tell you a word, Suzhou City is high and deep, Cao Cunxing and Li Yingzong are not our opponents, and we hope that the adults will personally lead the troops to be worthy of a battle. ”

When Cao Cunxing Li Yingzong heard this, his face turned red, and he was about to come up and kill. Hong Chengchou shouted angrily, reprimanded the two and said, "You go back and tell Hou Xuanyan that if he knows the current affairs, I am willing to fight to save him from the death penalty." If you are stubborn and resist the heavenly soldiers, the official guarantees that although the world is big, there will be no place for the Jiading people! ”

Xu Yuanbao's hair stood on end, his eyes were full of anger, he took the arms of several companions, and walked out of the Admiral's Office proudly.
