Since Taiwan has been lost, Yang Tingzhang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, will not be able to do it anyway, he and Fukangan and Wu Kegong were ordered to return to Beijing, and the best fate waiting for him and Wu Kegong is only to dismiss the official and seize the family, as for Fukangan, Qianlong is reluctant to kill his illegitimate son. However, the loss of 50,000 yuan and the recent rumors in Beijing will not be able to give him a new position in a short period of time.

The inertia of history sent a new governor to Fuzhou, who was born in the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner Yeergen Jue Luo's Su Chang, and the governor of Fujian was also Yeergen Jue Luo's clan, but his background was changed to the Zhenghuang Banner, and the son of the famous minister Karjishan who died of illness only a few years ago was Dingchang. released two Manchu people in Fujian, and wanted to come to the court to be a little more wary of the Han people. Ma Yingshu had died in the war, no one dared to take over as the Fuzhou general of Xinzhu, and there was no one to replace Huang Shijian in the naval division, so these two people were able to continue to make meritorious contributions.

After the two officers took office, they immediately began to clean up the remaining officers of the Green Battalion, and those who were slightly disrespectful to the Manchurians on weekdays immediately took them down and replaced them with the people of the Eight Banners of Fuzhou! Most of these people had suffered in Chen Jialuo's prisoner camp, and as soon as they took office, they vented their grievances on these green battalion soldiers, and for a time the resentment in the Fujian green camp was overwhelming.

The two adults were busy collecting military power, collecting grain, grass and military salaries, so they naturally didn't care about the green battalion soldiers who were captured by the Red Flower Society, but they didn't stop the families of the captured officers and soldiers from pooling money to ransom people, and after two months, those who had some money in the family went to Funing to pay for ransom. The rest were co-opted and placed in military camps and factories by the Red Flower Society, and half of them were transported to Taiwan, where factory construction and fertile land development required a lot of human resources.

Now that the Red Flower Society occupies nearly two provinces, there is no expansion for the time being, the Qing court has suffered heavy losses, and it is impossible to draw troops to attack again for a while, and the newly appointed Su Chang and Dingchang shrank their heads and did not dare to provoke the Red Flower Society. There was a brief period of peace between the two sides, each gathering strength for the next battle.

Now Wang Lun is being chased by Shu Hede and running around in Shandong, and Ma Chaozhu is still cowering in Guide Mansion. On the other hand, the Red Flower Society has grown silently, attracting heroes and heroes from all over the world who are dissatisfied with the rule of the Tartars. On the various roads leading to Funing Mansion, there are countless men with swords on their backs.

"Under the Shaolin lay disciple Li Boyang. The people in the rivers and lakes have given him a nickname called the Iron Lion! Look at this brother Yu Xuanang, I don't know which way of the hero? In the small tea shop on the side of the road, a rough man with a beard greeted the people at the next table.

"It turned out to be a hero of Shaolin!" , The young man with a beautiful face and a long sword on his back replied, "In Xia Wudang, a lay disciple Su Ziyan, Brother Li's name is like thunder. The little brother is polite! ”

"But the people in the rivers and lakes call Brother Su of the White Cloud Swordsman?" , Li Boyang's tone was a little respectful, "Brother Su is also planning to go to Funing to vote for the Red Flower Club?" ”

"Brother Li is cautious!" , Su Ziyan hurriedly stopped Li Boyang's words, looked left and right, and then whispered, "This is still the realm of Tartar, although we are not afraid of trouble, but it is not good to delay the time to go to Funing!" ”

"Hahahaha!" , Li Boyang laughed and said, "Brother Su, didn't you just arrive in Fujian?" Look at all of you here, isn't that planning to go to the Red Flower Club? Besides. In Fujian, no one dares to care about those of us who plan to vote for the Red Flower Society! ”

"Yes, I was meditating in the mountains in Xiaben, and I was called out of the mountains by the master a few days ago. Let me go to Uncle Lu. Su Ziyan knew that he had missed a timid smile, "I was only in a hurry for a while, and I didn't have time to inquire about the news, so I asked Brother Li for advice!" ”

"Oh? Uncle Lu that Brother Su said is not the third leader of the Red Flower Society, Lu Feiqing? Hearing this, the eyes of the people in the tea shop lit up, although they hurried to run, but they didn't know a few people in the Red Flower Club, and they were always worried in their hearts. Now that there is a relationship, he didn't hurry up, and for a while, Su Ziyan's table was surrounded by a group of people.

It's easy to cope with them one by one. Su Ziyan said, "Exactly." However, on the night of entering Wudang, I only heard the master say that there was such an uncle, but I had never seen it. Although he didn't have much experience in the rivers and lakes, he also saw the intentions of these people, and quickly changed the topic, "Brother Li, you said that no one in Fujian dares to care about us, what's going on?" Didn't this court arrest us people when it met them in the past? Now we've changed our character? ”

"Haha!" , Li Boyang laughed and said, "It's not the blessing of the heroes of the Red Flower Society, a few months ago, Chief Chen Helmsman led an army of 10,000 to defeat the Qing soldiers, and Huo Tongxi was red for more than ten days!" He directly more than doubled the number of Qing soldiers, "and then captured Taiwan, and for a while, officials of all sizes in Fujian Province trembled when they heard the name of the Red Flower Society." When they heard that we were going to send the saffron meeting, it was too late, how dare they provoke it? What if we catch us, what if we come to the door? ”

"I see, Brother Li is really knowledgeable, and the younger brother admires it!" , Su Ziyan praised.

"Hey, it's all my old Su who loves to brag, and I know more friends on weekdays to know these news!" , Li Boyang immediately changed the topic, and talked about some anecdotes on the rivers and lakes, and waited until everyone slowly dispersed before whispering, "Brother Li, I won't tell you, the little brother doesn't know a few people in the Red Flower Club, and when he arrives in Fujian, he hopes that Brother Su will say a few kind words in front of your uncle." ”

Su Ziyan was thin-faced after all, and after struggling for a while, he gritted his teeth and agreed. A few days later, the group came to Funing Mansion and inquired about the location of Lu Feiqing's mansion to post a prayer, and after a while, Lu Feiqing greeted him with a big smile, "I heard that Senior Brother has accepted a great lay disciple, and today I saw it really extraordinary!" ”

After entering the house, drinking tea, and gossiping for a while, Su Ziyan said, "Don't hide it from my uncle, my nephew plans to join the Red Flower Club when he comes to Funing this time, and I hope that my uncle will help me with one or two!" ”

"My Red Flower Club is now the time to employ people, and it is necessary for my nephew to want to come from here, but I don't know if my nephew wants to join the army or become an official?" , Lu Feiqing hesitated slightly.

"What do you say about this soldier? What do you say about being an official? Su Ziyan said confidently, "My nephew read some books in his early years, and he can be regarded as both civil and military, and everything is according to his uncle's orders!" ”

"If you want to be an official, you must first take the civil service exam!" , Lu Feiqing touched his beard and said, he has said these words a lot in the past few days, "If you join the army, you must not be willing to start as an ordinary soldier, and you have to take the exam if you want to be an officer!"
