After Huang Shijian's sailors were eliminated, the imperial court on the border of Fujian had no capital to attack, and the remaining green battalion soldiers retreated in several large cities and prayed day after day that the red flowers would not come to harass. There are many congregations of the Red Flower Society in the green camp of Zhejiang in the north, and the governor of Zhejiang does not want to provoke the fire, so he copes with the attack a little bit, throws hundreds of corpses twice, and then retreats back into the territory of Zhejiang, not daring to take a step beyond the thunder pool. The prefect of Jianning Mansion in the west is a wonderful person, and it seems that Chen Jialuo has seen something from the ransom he extorted, and after the defeat of Fukangan, he sent his cronies to secretly ask how much it would cost to make the Red Flower Society not attack Jianning Mansion. Chen Jialuo had no intention of attacking places outside Taiwan this year, and after extorting a large amount of money and food, he agreed to it. It is said that soon after, the prefect was active in the capital, and he was promoted to other places because of his meritorious service in defending the land, which is the only bright spot in the Fujian officialdom that has been full of mourning this year.

When the news of Huo Tongxi's defeat reached Fuzhou, Yang Tingzhang, Wu Kegong and Xinzhu became colorless at the same time, they knew that their officialdom career was over today, and whether they could save their lives depended on the emperor's mood. Xinzhu was secretly lucky in his heart, fortunately, the people from the court who led the troops this time would definitely lose their lives this time if they were still themselves.

"Marshal Fu is back, my lords," a staff member whispered to the signing room when he received the news.

Hey, he's not going to be okay this time, is he? However, people have a good father, presumably not to worry about their lives, Yang Tingzhang suddenly remembered the rumor that could not be said. If you serve this master well, and wait for him to return to Beijing to excuse himself a little, there will be no chance of recovery in the future; Standing up tremblingly, "Fu Dashuai is hard, everyone and I will go out to greet each other!" ”

When they arrived at the city gate, the two sides held hands and were speechless. After a while, Yang Tingzhang sighed, "It's good for people to come back, let's go and rest first." I'll talk about the rest when I wake up! He looked at it for a long time and didn't find Ma Yingshu's figure. Presumably, this Admiral has already been martyred, and everyone present can't help but feel sad that the rabbit has died and the fox has died.

Returning to the yamen, after washing up and using some of Yang Tingzhang's carefully prepared meals, Fukangan recovered some of his spirits, and fell asleep with the beautiful maid sent by Yang Tingzhang in his arms.

At noon on the second day, when he was discussing with Yang Tingzhang and others in the signing room how to deal with the aftermath, there was a noise outside the door, and after a while, Huang Shijian rushed in angrily. As soon as he saw Fukangan, he immediately shouted and scolded, "Good thief, return my sailor to me!" ”

"Huang Shijian!" , Fukangan has been favored since he was a child, and no one has ever dared to give him such a look, he slapped the table and stood up, "Ben Shuai asked you to lead the sailors to attack Funing, why did you run to Fuzhou!" ”

Huang Shijian is so angry! Yesterday, he hurriedly let himself come to Fuzhou to put out the fire, but today he didn't admit it when he saw it, if it weren't for the 20,000 soldiers and hundreds of ships under his own command! At the moment, he didn't care about humility, and while scolding, he told Fukangan's actions last night.

"Admiral Huang. Admiral Huang! The more Yang Tingzhang listened, the more confused he became, and hurriedly grabbed Huang Shijian. Marshal Fu has been resting in the mansion last night, and I, General Xinzhu, and Governor Wu have all seen it with our own eyes! Didn't Admiral Huang see it wrong? ”

"Did you read it wrong?" , Huang Shijian sneered, "Although I am old, my eyes are not flowery, last night, that person's appearance, dress, speech and demeanor were exactly the same as Fu Dashuai, and more than 100 soldiers under my command can testify!" ”

"Admiral Huang is angry! Fu Dashuai didn't leave the house all night last night, and we can also testify. Yang Tingzhang also wondered how Huang Shijian could say such foolish words. Admiral Huang sat down first and talked about what happened last night. ”

The words just now had already eliminated most of the anger in Huang Shijian's heart, and he sat down on the stool. Picking up the tea on the table, I don't know whose one it was, drank it in one gulp, "Last night, the last general was planning in the camp how to attack the thief army tomorrow. Someone from outside the camp suddenly came to report, saying that Fu Dashuai was coming", Huang Shijian told the story of the incident in 1510, and said that he burst into tears when he saw the plum blossom hall being burned down and the sailors led by himself being swept away.

"Fu Dashuai, you see?" , Yang Tingzhang also looked at Fukangan suspiciously, he has worked with Huang Shijian for many years, judging from his current expression, it definitely doesn't look like a lie!

"Xia Guan heard that most of the people in this Red Flower Club are from the rivers and lakes, maybe someone used the disguise technique to pretend to be Fu Dashuai, but I don't know!" , Wu Kegong thought for a moment and said his opinion.

"The Red Flower Club is full of indiscriminate Jianghu people, even if they pretend to be Fu Dashuai, they can't pretend to be speechful and demeanor!" , Huang Shijian still retorted, "Last night, the air of wealth and nobility came to the face between the words of that person, how can this be done by the people of the rivers and lakes!" ”

"Not necessarily, I heard that the chief helmsman of the Red Flower Society is from a background", Wu Kegong closed his mouth in the middle of speaking, this matter is not suitable for being said in public, so he said vaguely, "The background is not ordinary, if he pretends to be, it is possible to deceive Admiral Huang by the night." ”

Fukangan also remembered that when he met the saint last year, Qianlong occasionally laughed and talked about how he had met a young man who was very similar to him in Hangzhou, maybe it was this person! In this way, the issue was temporarily revealed, and everyone discussed how to redeem the captives and return to the affairs of the court.

Half a month later, after the news of Fukangan's defeat reached the capital, a new rumor spread in Beijing, and some well-informed people claimed that the Red Flower Society could defeat the imperial court, in fact, because Fukangan deliberately lost to the opponent by Qianlong's holy decree. The reason is that Qianlong is a Han and the brother of the leader of the Red Flower Society, and the two have already planned to work together to consume the imperial court's troops; Don't you believe that so many generals in the DPRK and China did not send out, but sent a young Fukangan? The key is that Fukangan is the illegitimate son of the emperor, Chen Jialuo is Qianlong's younger brother, and the nephew led the troops to carry out intrigues and tricks with his uncle. Otherwise, Lord Huang's sailor could have avoided this disaster, but in order to help his uncle completely eliminate the opponent, Master Fu set out overnight to bring Lord Huang's soldiers and horses into the encirclement of the Red Flower Society, and more than 20,000 people were wiped out.

These rumors quickly spread in the capital because of their shocking revelation effect and detailed descriptions of people's presence, and the Manchurian nobles were a little more suspicious of Qianlong. There are even those Manchurians whose sons and nephews died in Fujian, who actually ran to the door of Fukangan's house, blocked the door, and scolded; Qianlong sent people to catch several waves in a row to suppress this trend. However, the Manchus succumbed on the surface, but secretly strengthened their ties with Prince Zhuang. (To be continued)
