(Thank you for the commuter pass of "hhnet123"!! ）

Qian Sunai listened to his father let him go home to study, how can this work, he doesn't want to go to the exam just to go to all parts of the country to see, so how can he go out?

Qian Sunai was only fifteen years old when he first arrived in Guangzhou, which was the age when a teenager was interesting to watch everything. Zhu Hongsan also likes this cheap brother-in-law very much, and discusses life with Qian Sunai when he has nothing to do (don't think crookedly, it's really about life, not that kind of discussion about life).

With the deepening of the exchange, Zhu Hongsan found that Qian Sunai was very different from the literati of this era, without their pedantic literati atmosphere, but a little like the netizens of the later forums. When Qian Sunai listened to Zhu Hongsan's bragging, he didn't blindly flatter, but asked a sentence or two when he didn't understand. Why is the earth primordial? Why are the Far North and the Far South icy and snowy? Why are there still whites and blacks? Why do birds fly in the sky? and other questions need to be answered by Zhu Hongsan one by one, and Zhu Hongsan likes this young man more and more while answering.

At the same time, when communicating with Zhu Hongsan, Zhu Hongsan passed on some ideas from later generations to him, which caused Qian Sunai to feel more and more that this society was wrong, but he was more and more interested in Ma Mingyuan's new deal according to Zhu Hongsan's arrangement.

After having a new style of thinking, Qian Sunai became more and more disdainful of the pedantic and conservative literati represented by his father and uncle Chen Zizhuang, and was interested in the reformers represented by Ma Mingyuan and Chen Zilong, and Qian Sunai was also more interested in the crown prince Zhu Hai.

Qian Sunai and Zhu Hongsan have had more contact, and the more they feel Zhu Hongsan's distress about the heir issue, so Qian Sunai has also been in contact with several adult princes. The crown prince Zhu Hai has a valuable identity and does not have much contact, but Zhu Jiang, the king of Qin, and Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, are not very satisfied with Qian Sunai, the king of Qin has a violent personality, and the king of Chu has too many thoughts, and he is not a good heir. The remaining little princes are all young, and they can't see anything yet. So this time, Qian Sunai is going to Nanjing to see how the prince is doing, whether he is the person he likes, if these princes are not good successors, he is still not an official, so as not to fall into the fate of a cunning rabbit lackey.

Now Qian Sunai listens to his father letting him go back to his hometown to study, how can this work, but can this be Qian Sunai, he has an idea with a roll of his eyes.

"Father, when I was chatting with His Majesty, I heard His Majesty say that it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel thousands of miles, so my son wants to go out for a walk! I have a headache reading books, so I just went out for a walk! ”

Qian Qianyi snorted, that faint gentleman still knows the famous saying "It is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles"? If he hadn't framed himself in the sacrificial text, would he have made himself famous in Shilin now?

But Qian Sunai is right, and it is not good to read dead books at home.

"Son, where do you want to go? Now that the war is in chaos, you can walk around Nanzhili's side! ”

"Father, isn't Nan Zhili at the door of his house? This is a journey of thousands of miles, my son wants to go to Jiangxi and Huguang to see, and my son is also going to Wuchang to see, I want to see how Wuchang is a tiger in the dragon pan, and can give birth to the lord of Zhongxing like Your Majesty! ”

Qian Qianyi raised his head and thought for a while, now that the war in Jiangxi and Huguang is over, there is no major war, plus the governor of Huguang is now Yu Yinggui, although he is not a Donglin party, but he can talk to himself, and it should be no problem for him to take care of his son. Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi said: "It's not impossible to go to Huguang, but now there is only one Wuchang Mansion in the hands of our army, you promise to be your father, don't go to the territory of the Manchu Qing and King Gui, you know?" ”

Hearing his father's promise to himself, Qian Sunai was very happy, and naturally what his father said was what. Qian Qianyi saw that his son agreed, so he wrote a letter to Yu Yinggui, asking him to take care of his son, and after the incident, Qian Qianyi wrote a letter to He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang on King Gui's side, asking him to take care of his son. Although He Tengjiao has no deep friendship with Qian Qianyi, this kind of small favor is estimated to be able to help.

"Son, you bring this letter and hand it to Yu Yinggui, and there is another letter that you hide closely, if it falls into the hands of King Gui's soldiers, you can take out this letter to save your life! You know! ”

Qian Sunai nodded again and again and put the two letters away.

After the major events were arranged, Qian Sunai talked to his father about the various things he encountered when he entered the city, and talked about how he saw the people of Huguang and Guangdong.

After listening to his son, Qian Qianyi smiled coldly, he didn't know these things. With the emperor's army occupying Nanjing and Nanzhili, the ministers who were far away in Guangdong were still halfway there, but their families had already arrived. These family members relied on the power of their own master family to seize other people's property in Nanjing, and the first unlucky ones were those former Ming nobles, who were all imprisoned by the emperor in Jinyi Wei Prison and did not know whether they were alive or dead, and their land naturally fell into the hands of the old department of Huguang. In the past few days, Qian Qianyi also received news that several earls' families were forced to be ruthless, and their wives and children were hanged and thrown into the well together.

But now it is only the nobles who are forced to surrender, and the literati have not been implicated. However, according to Qian Qianyi's estimate, it will not be long, and now the first batch of people to come are the family members of the bigwigs of the DPRK and China, and these bigwigs are all literati, and they still have some face for the same literati. But with the arrival of other old departments of Huguang, those people don't have the face of any scholars, they are all the emperor's former haircuts, hooligans, and gangsters, these people can stop when they enter the city and see that the fat has been robbed first, and they will definitely shoot at the local literati in Nanzhili. At that time, he will come out as a Donglin bigwig, he is the only one in the Donglin Party to enter the cabinet, and he is also very suitable to be their spokesperson, and those Nanzhili literati who despise themselves will be thrown into their command.

Qian Qianyi was filled with indignation when he heard Qian Sunai's lecture here, and was afraid that his son would be involved in it and sabotage his plan to buy people's hearts, so he hurriedly said to his son: "You can leave if you have nothing to do in the past few days, and you don't have to worry about the affairs in the city, these people are attached to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and should also suffer some hardship!" ”

Seeing that his father was not ready to help, Qian Sunai was very angry, what is the difference between those Hu Guangxungui and the Manchu Qing Dynasty if they continue to do this? But now that Qian Sun's lover is soft-spoken, he has no choice but to bow down and prepare for the Huguang study tour.

The next thing is to prepare, the Qian family is sitting on the ground in Nanzhili, and if they have money and status, they will quickly gather fifty family members for Qian Sun Ai, one by one, who will hide their blades to protect the safety of the young master Qian Sun Ai.

Qian Sunai stayed in Nanjing for five days, and after recuperation, he took fifty family members and a little scholar Qian Mo, left Nanjing City, and took a big boat to Huguang in Jinchuanmen Shuiguan.

At the Shuiguan wharf, Qian Sunai saw a large number of warships of the Guangdong Navy gathered in the middle of the river, and at the same time, the merchant ships on the Shuiguan were all cleared, and the 16 wharves were requisitioned by the Guangdong New Army, and a large number of officers and men of the New Army boarded the troop transport ships, and then were escorted by the warships to the other side.

Although other ships are not allowed to berth on the wharf, what kind of person is the Qian family, and the ships of the Qian family, who are rich and humble, are easy to dock. Qian Sunai stood at the bow of the ship and watched the teams of soldiers and artillery loaded onto the troop carrier, and Qian Mo on the side saw the army marching for the first time, and asked, "Young master, where are so many troops going?" It wouldn't be the emperor who started the Northern Expedition, right? ”

Qian Sun Ai chatted with Zhu Hongsan and knew some military secrets, he shook his head and said: "No, these people have a maximum of two divisions and 30,000 people, which is far from enough for the Northern Expedition. ”

Qian Mo stuck out his tongue and said, "This is only 30,000 people, how can I feel that there are hundreds of thousands?" I heard that there are 200,000 troops outside Nanjing, how big it will be if they all get together! ”

Qian Sunai laughed and said: "You guy, who said that the emperor has an army of 200,000, and the emperor's real army is less than 140,000, of which 15,000 are left in Guangzhou, 15,000 are left on the border of Guangxi, 15,000 are left in Nanyang Luzon, and 18,000 are in Huguang." There are only five divisions here in Nanjing, less than 75,000 people, and these 30,000 people are already all that can be taken out! ”

Qian Mo didn't know that Qian Sunai's analysis was very good, Zhu Hongsan left three of the five divisions in Nanjing to form the Nanjing garrison, and Qian Yong was the governor of Nanjing, responsible for the defense of the capital of Nanjing. Zhao Guodong and Zhao Guoliang took two divisions north to Yangzhou, and they formed the Yangzhou Theater with the newly formed 10th Division, Zhao Guodong was the governor of Yangzhou, and Qian Yong and Zhao Guodong were the first batch of soldiers under Zhu Hongsan to become commanders.

In fact, in Huguang, Zhu Hongsan still wanted to set up the Huguang Theater, but he really had no money, and there was no way for Huguang to be a secondary battlefield and could only take a back seat, and all equipment and personnel had to ensure the formation of the two theaters of Nanjing and Yangzhou.

30,000 people plus a total of 50,000 people, this is not a day or two can be crossed, Qian Sun fell in love with the boat and let the boatman drive the boat, and left Nanjing Shuiguan Wharf by himself.

In the name of studying abroad this time, Qian Sunai naturally wanted to walk around, watch the scenery along the Yangtze River, and visit celebrities.

However, the Yangtze River has just passed through the war, and there are still many places in Jiangbei that belong to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so Qian Sunai's first stop is set in Jiujiang, the front-line command headquarters of Sun Quan in the Three Kingdoms, Chaisang.

Jiujiang belongs to Wang Deren's fiefdom, but it is quite peaceful, Wang Deren is not bad to the merchants in addition to asking for money, so the population here in Jiujiang is quite dense.

Jiujiang City was a fire when the Manchu Qing Dynasty left, burning half of the city, Qian Sunai saw that there was nothing to see in the city, directly hired a carriage on the dock to go to Lushan, stayed in Lushan for a few days, experienced a few days of "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain" artistic conception, and then got on the boat and went forward.
