Tong Tuchang had no choice but to tell the truth, "My brother's surname is Tong, and his name is Tong Tuchang." ”

The officer was taken aback, the Tong family was famous in the Manchu Dynasty. When he was a teenager, the "wild boar skin" Nurhachi was lonely and miserable, and once went to Fushun to make a living, and was adopted by a person named Tong Deng of the Tong family, and Tong Deng also married his granddaughter Tong Chunxiu to him. Tong Chunxiu, the future concubine, gave birth to Chu Ying, the eldest son of the Zhengbai Banner, and Dai Shan, the second son of the Zhenghong Banner, and Dai Shan, the second son of the Zhenghong Banner, was named the Iron Hat King - Prince Heshuoli because of his meritorious service in supporting Shunzhi. In addition, the Tong family contributed a lot to the growth of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now many of the Tong family have become big officials, and Tong Guonai, the governor of Fujian, is the Tong family.

This officer is also a member of the Tong family, but he is just a coat of the Tong family, and when he heard Tong Tuchang say this, he hurriedly asked respectfully: "Are you really the Fushun Tong family?" Why did you end up here? ”

Tong Tuchang had no choice but to continue making it up.

"This adult, my grandfather's name is Tong Gong, and Tong Deng, the father of Tong Deng, is still a brother who has not been out of five suits. After Fushun was broken by Dajin, our whole family was captured by the Ming Dynasty and taken to Beijing to be beheaded. I had no choice but to change my name and live in Guangdong and do some small business to make ends meet! ”

Tong Tuchang didn't dare to say that his uncle Tong Yangjia was also alive, Tong Yangjia was now the prime minister of the Shenwu Dynasty, and it would be troublesome if he left his name on the Manchu side. It's nothing, the Tong family is a big family in Fushun, there are hundreds of people in five generations, and few people recognize themselves except for the direct family.

The officer listened to what Tong Tuchang said, and the rest of the Tong family members were moldy after Tong Yang's anti-water. Since Tong Tuchang's identity has been confirmed, he naturally can't let him go, and the officer said: "So we are still a family, brother and I go to see Governor Tong, he will definitely be able to give you a half-official position!" ”

Tong Tuchang now regrets that he came out very much, how good it was to stay in the farm, what should he do if he goes to see Tong Guonai? But there was no way, if he didn't go, he would be suspected by the officer in front of him immediately, so Tong Tuchang had to take the Zhao brothers and the officer to see Tong Guonai.

Tong Guonai is Tong's own nephew, and his grandfather and Tong Yangxing are brothers, so after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he was also assigned to Fujian as a provincial official.

Tong Guonai has read some books, but he has not yet tested the strength of fame, but he still takes the Confucian set of "self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world" as a strict requirement for himself. Because of this, Tong Guonai, who regards himself as a builder, looks down on Li Chengdong very much.

In Tong Guonai's view, Li Chengdong is not a person at all, and he does all kinds of evil things by burning, killing and looting. There was no way to fight the war, but Fujian was all occupied, and he Li Chengdong still played this set. When Tong Guonai first entered the city, the whole of Fuzhou made Li Chengdong a ghost town, and Tong Guonai, as the governor of Fujian, of course had to oppose Li Chengdong to make trouble like this. After entering the city, Tong Guonai drove Li Chengdong out of Beicheng on the grounds that he wanted to settle the garrison Eight Banners. Don't look at Li Chengdong is very good at fighting, but he doesn't even have a fart in front of Tong Guonai, and Tong Guonai looks down on him more and more when he sees him like this.

Tong Guonai's cleanup of Li Chengdong is not all because of this reason, the Tong family is Han outside the Guan, although they have joined the Blue Banner of the Han Army, but in the eyes of serious Manchurians, these Han people still belong to the second class. Because of this, after entering the customs, in order to level their inferiority complex, these Han army banner people had no choice but to press the newly surrendered new annexed army in order to level their inferiority complex. This is the case with Li Chengdong in Fujian, and the same is true with Jin Shenghuan in Jiangxi.

Today, Tong Guonai is working in the governor's yamen, and the Shenwu regime in Guangdong poses a great threat to Fujian, and it is really unforgivable that the bullshit Shenwu Emperor dared to display more than 30,000 soldiers on the border between Fujian and Guangdong. Tong Guonai had already sent instructions to Bo Luo, the general of Jiangning's expedition to the south, and wanted to exterminate the Shenwu regime entrenched in Guangdong in one go. However, the current Manchu Qing army was insufficient, and the Manchurian soldiers really did not adapt to the hot southern climate, and a large number of personnel fell ill. It's July, and only when the weather turns cold in December will the army be raised.

In addition to the problem of troops, Tong Guonai is also very worried about Li Chengdong, you must know that Li Chengdong now has 50,000 horses in his hands, and Li Chengdong is capricious, I really don't understand what he wants to do. However, Tong Guonai brought 3,000 Manchurian Eight Banners and 5,000 Han Army Eight Banners from Jiangning, don't look at Li Chengdong's large number, it is no problem to hang him. It was precisely because there were seven or eight thousand eight banners stationed in Fujian City that Li Chengdong obediently went to Dongcheng to live.

However, this is not enough for Tong Guonai, what he is planning now is to find a crime to kill Li Chengdong, so that his 50,000 troops will become his subordinates, so that he can pacify Liangguang alone without Jiang Ning sending troops.

Just when Tong Guonai was thinking about how to kill Li Chengdong, the governor outside the door came in to report that he had found a person in the city who claimed to be the Fushun Tong family, and now he was outside the door, what should the governor do?

Tong Guonai was stunned, he didn't expect that there would be a Tong family here in Fujian? He knew that what his uncle did back then was a bit unauthentic, and he let go of the Fushun gate to let Nurhachi enter the city without notifying the other clansmen, and the Tong family in other places was unlucky, and I heard that many were executed by the Ming Dynasty. But after entering the customs, Tong Yang took care of the Tong family in the diaspora, and as long as the identity was verified, he could generally be reused, but it was really surprising that he could meet the Tong family so far away in Fujian.

Tong Guonai thought about it and took a look, if it was really his own clan, if he didn't arrange it, wouldn't it chill the hearts of other relatives.

"Okay, bring that man in!" When the protector heard what the governor said, he hurriedly went out and invited Tong Tuchang in.

Tong Tuchang saw Tong Guonai when he was in Liaodong, at that time, Tong Tuchang's family was the most educated in the Tong family, Tong Tuchang's grandfather Tong Gong was a person, and his uncle Tong Yangjia was still a talent. You must know that it was in Liaodong, and a person who lifted people was more valuable than the Jinshi of Nanzhili, so the Tong Gong family was the focus of the whole clan during the New Year.

Tong Tuchang and Tong Guonai are both in their forties, their age and appearance have been set, Tong Tuchang just entered the house, Tong Guonai recognized that it was really his own clan, but he forgot what it was called.

Tong Guonai hurriedly stood up and asked, "This, which one are you, I see that you are very familiar!" ”

Tong Tuchang also hurriedly surrendered his hand and said: "Lord Governor, the villain's grandfather is Tong Gong, and Tong Deng, the ancestor of the adult, is a brother who has not come out of the five suits!" ”

As soon as Tong Tuchang said this, Tong Guonai thought about it, and he didn't know the name of Tong Gong's old pedant.

"Dare to ask who you are?"

"I'm ashamed, the villain is a figure generation, and his cheap name is Tong Tuchang!"

Tong Guonai hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turns out that the clan uncle is here again, and the little nephew is polite!" ”

How dare Tong Tuchang hold the big, avoid the side, and even say that he didn't dare: "The villain dares to hold the big in front of the governor, please ask the governor to talk about it with his peers!" ”

Tong Guonai was very satisfied with Tong Tuchang's knowledge, after all, Tong Guonai was already the governor, and it was really impossible for him to call someone an uncle.

After admitting their relatives, the two sat down separately, and Tong Guonai asked, "May I ask how Uncle Clan has spent so many years?" Why did you go to Fujian? ”

Tong Tuchang scolded in his heart, he was not harmed by your team, but he didn't dare to say this in front of Tong Guonai.

Tong Tuchang sighed and said: "My lord, you don't know, back then, more than a dozen members of our family were in Shenyang, and they were caught by Jinyiwei and taken to Beijing to behead, and I took the opportunity to run away on the way, but the other clansmen didn't run away, and were taken to Beijing to behead. I didn't dare to go back to Liaodong after I knew the letter, and I only went to the rivers and lakes under the pseudonym Dong Chang. In the past ten years, I have been a teacher, and I have also worked as a scribe in Wuchang. After Wuchang was broken by Zhang Xianzhong, I went to Guangdong, and now I do some small business, trafficking salt and snow sugar from Guangdong to Fuzhou, which is a bit of a livelihood. ”

Tong Guonai nodded and believed what Tong Tuchang said, he couldn't have imagined that Tong Tuchang could be the same as Emperor Shenwu's five products, nor did he think that Tong Tuchang's uncle Tong Yangjia was also alive and was still the prime minister of Emperor Shenwu. It's not that Tong Guonai can't think of it, this matter is so weird, no one believes it at all, Zhu Hongsan left Tong Yangjia with a life, and he also knew that this old guy would be the governor of Liangguang in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later life, plus there was really no one in his hands, or he would have been cut directly with Zhu Hongsan's character.

Tong Guonai listened to Tong Tuchang and asked, "Uncle clan has suffered in the past few years, don't you know if you still have a family in Guangdong?" ”

"My family members are all lost in Wuchang, but after four years in Guangdong, I have become a family and have a son!"

"Uncle clan has lived in Guangdong for many years, I don't know what to think of the pseudo-Ming Emperor Shenwu?"

Hearing Tong Guonai ask this, Tong Tuchang's heart trembled, what did he say? After thinking about it, I still tell the truth, Zhu Hongsan is not a good person anyway.

"My lord, my news is all rumors in the market, I don't know if I can do it accurately. I heard that Zhu Hongsan was cruel and murderous, greedy for money and lustful, and liked little widows the most, and I heard that he also ruined the reputation of Chen Zizhuang's daughter. ”

Because of Qian Lide's merits, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not know anything about Guangdong's intelligence, and only grasped some of Zhu Hongsan's early situation, but it was similar to what Tong Tuchang said, he liked wives and was greedy for money and lustful. Looking at it this way, this Shenwu Emperor and Emperor Hongguang are almost the same.

Tong Guonai nodded, what he had in his hands was similar to what Tong Tuchang said, and he then asked: "You have been back and forth to Fujian and Guangdong many times, how is the armament over there in Guangdong?" ”

"The details of the villain are not clear, but in Chaozhou Mansion there are tens of thousands of troops, I heard that it was General Li who led people to Guangdong to kill a year ago, and killed a Zhu Hongsan's wife, Zhu Hongsan was angry and killed many people, and the Ming army strengthened the army of Chaozhou Mansion."

"Do you know over there in Ganzhou?"

Tong Tuchang shook his head and said: "I only take the Fujian route, and the soldiers in Ganzhou are chaotic and the road is difficult, so I won't go there!" ”
