Chapter 174: Mixed in Jiangnan

[All kinds of requests, all kinds of ......]

In September, the temperature gets colder day by day. People are dressed in thick clothes, the north is already waiting for the arrival of early winter in the near future, and the cold of the south of the Yangtze River has completely forgotten the beauty of summer here.

In the taverns and restaurants in the streets and alleys, or on the dining table at home, warm a pot of rice wine, enjoy the mellow aroma of rice wine in the cold weather, and warm up the body, which is the beloved of Jiangnan people carved into their bones.

If it weren't for Chen Ming's crossing three years ago, the Jiangnan of Qianlong's 32nd year would continue to be prosperous and prosperous like the stability and prosperity of the past. However, there was an extraordinary tide in the long history of this time and space, and when the time of the year passed on August 15, a kind of remarks that seemed to the Manchu government to be very rebellious quietly spread in the Jiangnan region.

Chen Jiajun, Fu Han General's Mansion, Henan Ruzhou, Henan Province, Henan Province, Chen Hui, Chen Ming......

Among all the rumors related to the Chen family's army, tens of thousands of officers and troops in the four provinces who fought at the age of only 18 lost their armor, and many imperial court ministers and commanders were killed or injured by the metropolitan governor Chen Ming, who has been endowed with a mythical aura by thousands of people in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the folk tongue, some people say that he is the second Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and some people say that he is Sai Gongjin. Obviously, the name of Chen Ming's governor reminded the people of Jiangnan of Zhou Yu, the governor of Sun Wu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

No matter which way it is said, it can be seen that the people of Jiangnan respect Chen Ming, although no one dares to publicize these publicly, in essence, thousands of Jiangnan people are all loyal and kind people of our Qing Dynasty, but Chen Ming is a rebel thief chief who is hated by the Qing court.

……

There is a city in the south of the Yangtze River, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been in the customs for more than 100 years, although there is a city where people do not say that they do not participate in the imperial examination and do not serve as soldiers. However, it is the lowest and lowest proportion in the entire Jiangnan County, and this city is Jiangyin, which is Jiangyin County that resisted the Qing Dynasty on the 81st day.

After the city of Jiangyin was broken, only 53 old and young people were left in Jiangyin County after being slaughtered by the Manchus. More than 100 years have passed, some villagers who fled Jiangyin City and outside Jiangyin City before the Battle of Jiangyin began, and some people who moved here from other places have multiplied, and the ghost-like Jiangyin County is now full of flowers, with a population of more than 300,000. However, the pressure on the Manchus from the 'non-violent non-cooperation movement' in Jiangyin County did not disappear, but intensified day by day.

Because Jiangyin County is located in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as the people there maintain resistance to the Manchu government, this influence can affect the entire Jiangnan, so that thousands of Jiangnan people remember the scene of the Manchu Qing Dynasty entering the customs more than 100 years ago.

On the 10th of Yangzhou, the three massacres in Jiading, how many Jiangnan people and how many Han people fell under the Manchu Eight Banners and their dog-legged swords and guns?

The non-violent non-cooperation in Jiangyin County had a very bad impact on the Manchus.

If the long river of history remains, ten years later, that is, one hundred and thirty years after the Battle of Jiangyin, in order to appease the people of Jiangyin, Qianlong adopted a policy of softness and confronted the three princes of the Qing Dynasty - Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun, respectively, giving them "loyalty and martyrdom", "martyrdom" and "temperance". Subsequently, the Zhongyi Temple was established, and the gentry of Jiangyin in the late Ming Dynasty: Qi Xun, Xu Yong, Huang Yuqi, Wang Hua, Xia Weixin, Lu Jiushao, Pan Wenxian, Xu Chao and other ancestral halls were memorialized. In the sixth year of Daoguang, the Qing court enshrined the tablets of 138 people such as Shao Kanggong in the Zhongyi Temple, and a few years before the first crow war, the Qing court in order to appease the people of Jiangyin, issued an edict in Jiangyin and his hometown Tongzhou for Yan Yingyuan to repair the ancestral hall of Yan Yingyuan, all named "Yan Gong Ancestral Hall".

In the autumn of the 32nd year of Qianlong, the non-violent non-cooperation movement in Jiangyin County was still going on silently. Jiangyin, the county seat where the Jiangsu Academic Administration is located, the locals should have occupied a place in the Jiangnan region where the humanities are gathered by virtue of their convenience, but it seems that the killing one hundred and twenty years ago washed away the local culture, and there do not seem to be many people in Jiangyin in the Qing Dynasty.

Jiangsu's college examination room is in the Jiangsu Academic Administration Department, and the section office is in Jiangyin County. This is the convenience of Jiangyin candidates, and it is also a very special case. In the Manchu Shuntianfu and the eighteen provinces, most of the academic administration and festival offices were built in the provincial capitals. There are only three in the country if the Department of Academic Administration is not built in the provincial capital: Shuntianfu is in Tongzhou, Jiangsu Province is in Jiangyin County, and Shaanxi Province is in Sanyuan County.

The Jiangsu Provincial Administration of Education and Administration is not located in Jiangning but in Jiangyin, mainly because Jiangyin is adjacent to the Yangtze River, with convenient transportation and relatively developed economy and culture. In the 42nd year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, the Jiangnan Academic Administration Department was moved to Jiangyin. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Jiangyin defended the city for 81 days to resist the Qing Dynasty, and its fierce battles, the duration of time, and the number of casualties on both sides were rare in the country. Emperor Shunzhi and Emperor Kangxi continued to station Xuezheng in Jiangyin, in order to seek energy that would be conducive to the governance of the mind. But as it turned out, their plan didn't go as planned. In the original time and space to the Jiaqing period, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Yao Wentian inscribed the plaque "The State of Loyalty and Righteousness", hanging the Jiangyin city gate, and also increased the number of places admitted to the Jiangyin examination. Counting a series of tricks in the middle and late Qianlong period, these measures all tell that the abacus in the more than 100 years before the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not make a profit.

Time came to the thirty-second year of Qianlong, and Jiangyin had the highest rank and the most prominent official in the 120 years of the Qing Dynasty, and there was only one Yang name.

In the autumn of the thirty-second year of Qianlong, because of all kinds of uncertain rumors from that distant place, a kind of buried feeling began to burst out in the heart, and little by little it was accumulated.

By the way, when it comes to Jiangyin, there is an old saying in Jiangnan that cannot be left unmentioned: Jiangyin robbers and Wuxi thieves.

This is not to say that Jiangyin people really have robbers, that is a head, I won't talk about it here, if you are interested, you can check it yourself. Anyway, this pun also points out the character of Jiangyin people from the side.

"Robbers" refers to a kind of psychological character and regional character, just as Yangzhou has more bookstores and boat girls, and Jiangyin has more tough and strong men. The people here are strong, and even the dialect is "rushing" very much, not at all like Wu Nong's soft language in the impression of the Chinese people. How much of it is influenced by historical reasons is up to the wise.

Under such circumstances, the people of Jiangyin talked about the kind of rumors that were incredible in the eyes of ordinary people, and they were even more wanton than other places in Jiangnan. These Jiangyin people who have not forgotten the scene one hundred and twenty years ago, although they will not do something that the Jiangyin government cannot tolerate because of these rumors, but the Jiangyin County Government has also chosen to turn a blind eye to the discussions on the streets and alleys inside and outside the county.

Jiangyin Lianfeng Tower.

He Huazhang washed the dust and picked up Chen Jigong, who had just arrived in Jiangyin. The current He Huazhang is not the enemy who was hated by the Chen family's Gao family at the beginning, he is an important chess piece buried in the Jiangnan of the Chen family's secret camp, and he keeps in touch with Chen Liang in a single line, and all the news is a secret in the secret camp. It can be said that creation is also to make people.

He Huazhang runs a bookstore in Jiangyin, and Chen Jigong, now under the pseudonym Tong Li, will settle down in Jiangyin, a convenient place with waterways, as a partner and his cousin in the bookstore run by He Huazhang, and stretch out his hand to the local boat gang and chariot and horse shop in Jiangyin little by little.

"Of course, the strength of this local government is not weak, but in order to appease the people of Jiangyin, the control has dropped by a large margin. It's just right for us to fish in troubled waters......"
