Nanjing's conspiracy continued, but on the Zhejiang side, the sea trade was in full swing with Zheng Tai's arrival. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

From Quzhou, through Chuzhou, you can go all the way east along the Oujiang River to Wenzhou with Songyang, and reach Wenzhou City; On the Yanzhou side, in addition to going up the Lanjiang River and Qujiang River, and then going to Chuzhou, you can also pass through Wuyi and Yongkang, and transport it to Xianju with burdens, trolleys, and donkey carts, and then send it to Haimenwei along the Lingjiang River.

Since the news of the arrival of the Zheng family's fleet in Taiwen spread widely in the occupied areas of the Ming army in Zhejiang, the merchants of these six prefectures took action, and went crazy to deliver goods to the city of Wenzhou and the Haimen guards.

The previous blockade order and relocation order led to an inevitable malaise in the commercial and trade activities of the four prefectures of Jinquyan, and a large number of goods originally shipped to Jiangxi, Jiangnan and Fujian were stranded in the warehouse, even after the recovery of Taiwen, there was not a very good promotion at first, until the Zheng family, the big financier, claimed to be able to swallow as many goods as the local tyrants arrived, and the merchants of these six prefectures seemed to be stimulated.

In half a month, this is also counting the cost of the journey to deliver the news to the prefectures and counties, and the newly established Yamen of the Bosi Division of Tiju City has collected more than 10,000 taels of silver, and this momentum has not even begun to decline.

This situation is very abnormal, according to the "Guangzhou Tongzhi" record: in the 30th year of Wanli, the tax of the city of a giant city like Guangzhou was only more than 40,000 taels of silver, which was already called "the southern treasury of the Son of Heaven". According to the current situation, at the end of this large-scale purchase of the Zheng family, tens of thousands of taels of silver can be collected from taxes alone, and this does not include the income from the two trades of prisoners and arms, as well as the bulk goods that are exclusively collected and sold in self-defense centers.

If nothing else, after the Zheng family's big purchase, the income of the city shipping company will drop to a certain extent, but Chen Wen also purchased some sea ships from Fujian, and the goods are also self-produced, and the quantity is huge, and he can always do business in Japan, Korea and the Ryukyus, and even connect with European maritime merchants.

The maritime trade between Taizhou and Wenzhou is in full swing, but a big drama is being staged in the newly built Jinhua Grand Theater in Jinhua City.

"This little white lady hasn't passed through the door yet, isn't it ridiculous for Kefu to say it!"

What is being performed on the stage is the love of the Alluring City that Chen Wen wrote an outline for Li Yu to fill, and the performance is not a folk troupe, but a art troupe under the Propaganda Department. This department was formed when he went to Quzhou, the head of the troupe was Chen Chen, and almost all the actors were from the Department of Education.

"Furen, this Shaoxing manager is the Huating Chen Zilong back then?"

"Exactly."

The timeline of this story is between the Jiashen Kingdom and the Jinhua Massacre, but it is just a story that happened a few years ago, and some of the characters, such as Chen Zilong, the Shaoxing manager entrusted by Fan Liuyuan to defend the white tassel, Zhu Meixi, the prefect of Jinhua, and others are still remembered, so that Zheng Tai, who came to watch the first official performance, vaguely remembered that the Shaoxing manager surnamed Chen in the story was Chen Zilong, who was known as the last great poet of the Ming Dynasty.

As the story unfolds, Bai Tassel's dowry can be recovered, but the cold eyes of the family make her feel cold, and she is forced to move out of the Bai family's mansion to live in the courtyard where his father studied. In the days that followed, because it was not far from Fan's house, they met several times, gratitude, misunderstanding, and misunderstanding, until the outbreak of the massacre......

"Dog Tartar!"

After a long time, the story has come to an end, as soon as the three actors wearing helmets and wearing the costumes of the Qing army on the stage appeared on stage, there was an immediate burst of anger from the audience, especially those officers, one by one, under the angry eyes, even "Boluo", "Ma Jinbao" and "Liu Guangbi" on the stage couldn't help but tremble, and they didn't dare to continue the next play.

"What are you grinding, you three stupid, hurry up and continue acting!"

Hudumen unveiled a corner, seeing that the three actors who played Tartars looked trembling, Chen Chen's heart was on fire, but this was an official performance, not a rehearsal, so he had to uncover a corner and shouted in a low voice.

Hearing Chen Chen's angry rebuke, the three of them knew that the head of the regiment was not a good-tempered person, they glanced at each other, swallowed their saliva, and the "Bolo" led by him continued to sing with a trembling voice.

"Break Jinhua, seal the knife in three days, and the children's jade silk, you can take it yourself. Hahahaha. ”

The lyrics of the play are quite imposing, but the timid actor has just been stared at by the officers in the audience and lost his courage, a sentence of drama is spoken, coupled with the crying laughter at the end, God knows whether it is the actor who plays the common people on the other side of the stage who is about to be slaughtered, or he, the commander of the Qing army.

"Damn, you still want to slaughter us Jinhua, Lao Tzu will abolish your dog tartar!"

An angry officer stood up suddenly, and was about to run to the stage with a loud shout, so that these Tartars knew that they knew the strength of the Ming army in Zhejiang. For a while, several other officers who were also so angry that they couldn't help themselves also went up together, and even the angry rebukes of the others present became louder and louder.

According to the order of the plot, after the wild laughter of "Bolo", "Ma Jinbao" and "Liu Guangbi" shouted loudly and rushed over, and this scene was over. But now, "Bolo" finished laughing, and the other two Tartars were about to rush to the stage in anger when they saw the officers, and the "Prince Duanzhong" who was still crying slipped backwards one by one, as if they were about to retreat behind the stage from the door of the stage.

This big drama will not be able to go on like this, but at this moment, only two "cough cough" sounds were heard, and several guards around Chen Wen willingly rushed towards the officer.

After restraining it, I only heard Chen Wen shouting: "The one who plays the Tartar above is also the robe of our Zhejiang Wangshi, and if the people play it well, you will be angry, and you will remember what the Tartar has done more deeply." What kind of ability is it to bully your own people, there is a kind of going into battle and cutting off a few more Tartar heads to come back! ”

The time chosen for the finale of the story is the massacre of Jinhua, which is the most able to stab their hearts for the Zhejiang Ming army, whose Jinhua Mansion is from Jinhua Mansion and occupies a large proportion of the officer corps. Especially among them, such as Chen Zilong, Zhu Meixi and other Ming Dynasty civil officials, Bo Luo, Ma Jinbao and Liu Guangbi and other Qing soldiers are all familiar figures, among which Ma Jinbao was executed by Ling Chi the year before last.

In his memory, there were actors in later generations who were repeatedly stabbed in the car for playing domestic violence, and even beaten in public, and even almost killed because of playing a landlord. This scene was chosen at this point in time, especially not long ago, Shi Tingzhu almost came to Jinhua Massacre again, which is really unimaginable for the audience's shock and touch, and it is also a big test for the psychological quality and life safety of the actors.

The three drama Tartars on the stage, it stands to reason that this acting is really not very good, but the words alone make the audience below angry to death, which is really because the background of this story is too real.

asked the guards to take the officers down, Chen Wen motioned for the stage to continue the show, and sat down again before saying to Zheng Tai: "Let my brother see and laugh." ”

"Nothing, nothing, Furen's subordinates are all bloody men, no wonder they can defeat the Tartars repeatedly."

After this episode, the scene on the stage continued, and soon it came to the Qing army's destruction of the city, Zhu Dadian's martyrdom and the tragic massacre. The heroes and heroines in the story are a couple who are happy with each other, but they are born in such an era, and their fate is often like falling leaves in the autumn wind, and they can't help themselves. And it is precisely this point that can also affect the hearts of the audience.

In the theater, almost everyone is already immersed in the story on stage, but there are two people whose minds are obviously not here.

As a representative of the Fujian Ming Army, Zheng Tai not only came to lay the foundation for trade, but also had a figure who further observed the Zhejiang Ming Army's ally. These days, I have watched the drill of the Dongyang Battalion stationed in Jinhua, watched the workshop of the Military Industry Division, watched the "Zhejiang Di Bao", and now look at the performance of the newly compiled art troupe, this God of Wealth of the Fujian Ming Army is obviously no longer as simple as thinking, and the whole person's mind has flown to an unknown place, but he is turning a blind eye to the more and more wonderful performances in the future.

And Chen Wen, who was sitting next to Zheng Tai, seemed to be infected, and his mind had already flown elsewhere.

This story called "Love in a Fallen City" was originally his work after a substantial modification based on Zhang Ailing's novel of the same name, which was originally used to recruit Li Yu to use it as a horse bone to recruit more talents, but later Li Yu came, but did not continue his drama creation career, and became a magistrate, and Chen Wen used this to recruit talents, and its effect was actually far less than the impact caused by the repeated defeats of the Qing army, and more talents came to serve because of the repeated victories of the Ming army in Zhejiang.

thought it was just a useless effort to put the cart before the horse, but when he watched the story appear on the stage with his own eyes, he found that it was actually just a little bit of a relationship between intentionally planting flowers and unintentionally planting willows.

Not to mention the local Jinhua Slaughter version of "Love in a Fallen City", Zhou Jingting originally handed over another script to Chen Chen, which was the late Song Dynasty version of "Titanic" named "East China Sea Resentment" that Chen Wen originally asked Li Yudai to write. It's just that I came to see them filming two days ago, and although the set and props on the stage fit the story as much as possible, they still forced Chen Wen's embarrassment out.

The set painted with blue paint symbolizing the waves, the "big sea boat" that is estimated to be crowded with four or five people, especially when he happened to see the last scene of the story when he was in the past, Bai Zihua and Zhen Huan's uncle were fighting in the waves, and he had goosebumps jumping to the ground, and his mind was full of thoughts that this script must be sealed until something like special effects appears before he can be on the stage.

In comparison, the effect of this "Love in a Fallen City" is not bad, and it can be greatly promoted, and all prefectures, counties, barracks and garrisons in the occupied areas must be performed, and it should be stronger than simply talking about the ancients to change the mentality of the soldiers and the people. The only thing that needs to be noted is that the art troupe must be equipped with some guards in case a situation like this one occurs again.

The performance on stage soon came to an end, and on the third day of the massacre, hunger prompted Fan Liuyuan to go out of the dry well in search of water, while the white tassel was left alone in the well. separated, and the audience present were all worried about the ending of this pair of infatuated men and women in troubled times, but Chen Wen seemed to have discovered something else.

"Who is the woman who plays the white tassel?"

Seeing Chen Wen's question, Zhou Jingting, who was sitting next to him, changed his face slightly, and then replied in a low voice: "If you return to the country, this woman is the daughter of the criminal official Yan Zhiheng. ”

It turned out to be Yan Zhiheng's daughter, if it weren't for Zhou Jingting mentioning it today, Chen Wen would have almost forgotten her father who participated in Cao Conglong's rebellion in the depths of his mind. In such an era, if the head of the family is guilty, his wife and daughter will be affected, as if the granddaughter of Xu Jie's concubine who promised Yan Shifan's son was not spared in the end, let alone a real rebellious person like this woman's father.

"No wonder it looks familiar, when I led the army to cover the evacuation of the people from the Siming Mountain area, I walked with their family. I remember that at that time, Yan Zhiheng also followed Governor Wang and Governor Sun to help me maintain the order of the people in the south, but when I arrived in Jinhua, I finally parted ways, which is really embarrassing. ”

"The country is benevolent, and it is deserved to take the blame for being strict and disobedient, and even implicating family members."

"That's true."

Chen Wen knew that Wang Jiang's mother and the little daughter-in-law of the Sun family had both wanted to introduce him to him, but time had passed, and the two had no relationship for a long time. It's Zhou Jingting, his expression just now hasn't changed but he hasn't been missed by Chen Wen, this guy is not only the head of the Mission Department, but also Zhou Yueying's brother-in-law. And this woman's fate is already like this, it is better to be able to enter the art troupe than to live in the teaching department for the rest of her life, and he doesn't want to beat her back to her original form because of an inexplicable question.

Such a delicate woman can better arouse the audience's desire to protect and increase the hatred of Tartar. Chen Chen really lives up to his reputation as a talent, this actor is very well chosen, and your vision really lives up to my expectations. ”

"Guogong praised it falsely, and the lower officials are just foolish."

"It's just those actors who play Tartars, they are still a little too immature."

"What Guogong said is that when he goes back, he will go to discuss with Head Chen."

For Chen Wen, Zhou Jingting has never been a little arrogant because he is Zhou Yueying's own brother, even his two cousins who have just entered the office also seem to have been admonished by him, and they are quite respectful when they meet Chen Wen, with a completely official attitude, and they do not involve personal relationships. This is what Chen Wen is happy to see, and because of this, it is even more necessary to prevent selfishness from affecting the occurrence of things in the public school.

Soon, this drama came to the finale, and the actors on the stage were still performing with all their hearts, but Zheng Tai, who had been in a daze for a long time, suddenly turned his head and said to Chen Wen: "Furen, this time the foolish brother still has something important to ask for, I hope you can agree."
