Time flies after the New Year, Chen Ming just blinked, seeing that the families in Haizhou were unlucky, and the Lantern Festival had arrived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In previous years, the Lantern Festival was a very, very important festival in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in big cities such as Hangzhou, Suzhou and Nanjing. Dengkou Mountain Shed is ever-changing, and the flowers and lanterns are dazzling. The "bead lamp" made of five-colored pearls, the "leather lamp" dyed with five colors of delicate, the "horse lantern" with the five-color wax paper paste and the "horse lantern" that rotates like a fly, and the eye-catching boneless lamp......

The people of the city will pour out, and the people outside the city do not know how many people will flock in.

Although the Lantern Festival night light market in the Qing Dynasty was not as rich and prosperous as in the Southern Song Dynasty, it started on the 12th and ended on the 18th.

And this year, that's all gone.

The Fu Han army withdrew from northern Zhejiang, and the eyes of the wealthy officials were all staring at the movements of the Fu Han army, who still had the heart to run a lamp market? Moreover, the millions of people who fled from Suzhou and Hangzhou are also a big trouble that the Zhejiang government urgently needs to solve.

At the beginning of the fall of Nanjing, tens of thousands of bannermen fled frantically, and were defeated by the waiting Fu Han army on the way, only 10,000 people fled to Suzhou in embarrassment, and a group of people entered Zhejiang, and then were properly placed in Hangzhou Mancheng by the Zhejiang government. Years ago, the Fu Han army marched south, before the soldiers swept away Suzhou, the 10,000 banner people there fled to Zhejiang again, and so they just sat on the chair with their buttocks, and they didn't take a breath, the Fu Han army had already overcome the Suzhou sword and pointed to Hangzhou, those people together with tens of thousands of banner people in Hangzhou did not hesitate to escape from Hangzhou City before the Fu Han army killed, and the Zhejiang government took care of all the way, and the officers and soldiers escorted all the way, and fled from Hangzhou along the river to Ningbo. Ningbo Mansion has been saved.

Now the Fu Han army has returned from northern Zhejiang, and the first batch of people to be transferred is Shaoxing's men and horses, Cui Yingjie, Yin Jishan and Rong Bao, who hid in Ningbo Mansion, and other lost dogs, all watched the Fu Han army hurry up, compared to a Lantern Festival, they are more expected to use 'victory' to alleviate the anger of the Forbidden City in Beijing against them.

Emperor Qianlong, who lost the wealth of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and was short of money and wanted to hit the wall, must hate them in his heart and hate them to death. If the situation can't improve again, three people, everyone will have to eat the board.

Now that the Fu Han army is going to go on a northern expedition -- the whole of Jiangnan is convinced of the 'Northern Expedition' of the Fu Han army because of a sacrificial text, and Chen Ming feels surprised. He still has a lot of supporting actions that he has not done, such as mobilizing grain, supplies, and troops to northern Jiangsu.

As loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, Cui Yingjie, Yin Jishan and Rong Baoyi, of course, were worried about the blow of Chen Ming's army to the Qing Dynasty, but they were also happy to watch the soldiers of the Fu Han Army move north one after another, and even the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou seemed to be given up. The strategic focus of the Fu Han Army in the south of the Yangtze River has always been along the Yangtze River. Then they can't 'recover' Hangzhou and Suzhou, although Chen Ming's army went south to scrape a layer of land in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and destroyed the paradise of Suzhou and Hangzhou. But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the broken ship has three pounds of nails.

So, what Lantern Festival is not Lantern Festival, in the face of military affairs, it is not bullshit.

Even those warblers and Yanyan in Chen Ming's backyard, none of them have said that they want to see the lanterns these days. Chen Ming's true strategic intentions have never been revealed to these women in the backyard, and now the six women in the backyard, including Liu Bangyun, are all worried.

Before Chen Ming's army Chen Yu Jiangbei, let go of the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River to counterattack the Nanjing-Zhenjiang-Jiangyin line, Liu Bangyun couldn't even sleep well at night, lest he wake up and the Qing soldiers were killed outside Nanjing. Now that the army of the Fu Han Army has been mobilized again and again, and the voice of the Northern Expedition can even be heard by them in the backyard, Liu Bangyun knows Chen Ming's temperament very well, and Chen Ming will not take himself (them) with the army during the really important war, which means that the previous days of fear are coming again.

"Madam, the Shi family is here." Liu Wanyun was thinking about something, and the maid beside her suddenly lowered her voice and said in her ear.

The face was hesitant and worried, and the uneasy expression was swept away, Liu Wanyun straightened his back, "Please come in soon." The clear voice came directly to Shi's ears outside the door through the outhouse.

Shi Shi, who looked three points uneasy, walked into the room with small steps, followed by two maids, one of whom was holding a painting scroll in his hand, and Liu Wanyun was already sitting on a chair in the outer hall with a peaceful face.

Chen Ming rested here at Liu Bangyun that night. His expression was a little relaxed, Nanjing has now gathered ten battalion leaders with a certain amount of combat experience, and in two days, this first army will set off from Nanjing and rush to Anqing, which is ten absolutely non-main battalions.

Then in a few days, the second group of troops will be organized to rush to Jiujiang, and the Qing army should not suspect it. That group of troops will be composed of veterans of twelve battalions dressed as non-main forces, weapons and equipment stuffed in the cabin, after crossing the sea to Jiujiang, cooperating with Jiujiang's troops, and then returning to the second battalion of the Navy Division after sweeping the Hubei River, they are the first batch of teams to enter Hubei. The major events that he had been planning for a long time ago were gradually put into practice, and the burden in Chen Ming's heart was much lighter.

Entering Liu Bangyun's room, Chen Ming was entertained by an extremely corrupt san escort, eating, drinking and sleeping together. The next day, when Chen Ming, who was refreshed, walked briskly to the front office, Liu Bangyun also washed up under the service of his personal maid.

"Madam, didn't you promise Shi yesterday ......?"

"Hmph, a painting wants to buy me, am my eyelids so shallow?" Liu Wanyun's eyes didn't open, and the corners of his mouth said with disdain: "Besides, what kind of person is the Grand Dudu?" It's not the king of Yin who is fascinated by women. I haven't been serving the governor for a month or two, has he ever shared with me about the military and political affairs of the former government? Do you believe it, as long as I dare to ask, the Metropolitan Governor will show me his face? ”

Liu Wanyun is not as sure as she says, but she will never take risks because of a painting. As for the matter of agreeing to the Shi family, hmph, the metropolitan governor hates the backyard to inquire about the affairs of the front office, so isn't it okay to say this. No matter how favored the Shi family is, she still dares to ask the governor ......, and then give them the courage to do so.

A few years ago, two groups of women entered Chen Ming's backyard in a row, and both sides were also cheering, sending five each. But none of the ten women can surpass her Liu Bangyun.

Liu Wanyun has never regarded a favored person like the Shi family as an opponent, so if the Shi family wants to really rise to the top, it must first depend on whether the Zheng family agrees.

Now the time is still shorter, wait for three or five months, a year and a half, Shi is going to be so favored, do you think Zheng's face is good-looking? The Shi family is eating under the Zheng family.

Two batches of women, of course, Liu Bangyun is more familiar with the first batch. Among those five people, the biggest shortcoming of the Shi family and the Yao family compared with the Zhang family, the Zheng family, and the Lin family is that the family is controlled. And the backstage of the Zhang family, the Lin family, and the Zheng family is obviously more trusted by the Metropolitan Governor than her father.

Chen Ming didn't care about these careful thoughts in the backyard at all, he was now engrossed in the deployment of the Qing army in Shandong.

Since the publication of that memorial text, the news of the northern expedition of the Fu Han army had already reached the city of Beijing, and the Qianlong Emperor reacted by sending 2,000 Eight Banners horses in Beijing to Shandong. The weather in the north is still very cold, and if a large number of people are mobilized, it will have to wait at least until the first month. Moreover, the weather in Shandong this winter is certainly very cold, but there is not much snow, and spring drought is inevitable.

In addition, there are now many people from all over Beijing in the city, and Qianlong's 34-year scientific expedition is still going to be carried out as scheduled. In the month of last year, Qianlong also made a case of allocating 10,000 taels of silver to repair the tribute courtyard. As early as before the New Year's Festival, the lifters of the northern provinces, as well as the lifters of Huguang, Liangguang, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and even Fujian, and the lifters of the southwestern provinces have already gone to Beijing.

For these moves, most of the heavens and the earth are no bigger than their exams. At present, the situation in various places is unstable, and it is not a fantasy for soldiers and thieves to be harmed by robbers on the road, but there are still many, many people who have flocked to Beijing from all directions. According to the report of the people at the Beijing station, there are at least 5,000 people in the north and south these days, and they are not much wrong compared to the big exams in previous years.

And if there are no accidents in the plan this year, the first scientific expedition of the Fuhan Army will also begin. Regardless of background, qualifications, those who are willing to take the test can take the test. Just like in the Tang Dynasty, the scholars were divided into disciplines, but they were not Ming Jing, Jinshi, Junshi, Ming Law, Ming characters, Ming calculations, etc., but they also had the same work and different songs.

The scientific expedition of the Fu Han Army was divided into four categories: politics, law, arithmetic, and engineering.

The former, of course, is an official in the ordinary sense, and the latter three categories are called technical officials who specialize in the art industry. Of course, if they really have political acumen, they can also jump out of the narrow road and step onto a broader stage. Chen Ming even wanted to put the criminal investigation on the imperial examination, if he could produce a few Song Ci and clear the world, it would also be a great public virtue.

It's a pity that the status of this criminal investigation piece in China is too low and too low, and there are romance novels by Di Renjie, Bao Gong, and Shi Gong among Chinese folk, but what about reality? For example, the untouchables, the ninth-rate untouchables, no matter how much they have real profits, but they are looked down upon by everyone in society, and the political status of the servants and the catchers is very low. It is impossible for Chen Ming to open a separate department for criminal investigation. Now I can only touch the corners and put them in the law.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, a fleet of 1,200 ships slowly left the Xiaguan yard in Nanjing. This is the fleet heading west to Anqing, and the ships are carrying the ten non-main battalion heads. Wang Zhizheng stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the city of Nanjing that slowly disappeared in front of him, and tears couldn't stop flowing. In Suzhou, he did not find his family. And now that he drove to Anqing with the team and left Jiangnan completely, there is no hope of finding his parents.

The uncontrollable grief made him weep bitterly, and he fell to his knees in the stern of the boat, still choking on for a long time.

And Tang Wencan, who was standing on the bow deck of the boat, was enjoying the scenery on the river, full of ambition. He was the deputy commander of this Fu Han army, and his rank was raised by one level. If it weren't for the fact that there were no vacant positions in the main battalion, Tang Wencan would have jumped to the lower-ranked main battalion as a regular battalion officer.

He's not bad now.

The steady rise of his own status and the brighter and brighter prospects of the Fu Han Army made Tang Wencan look full of ambition. Even Hu Wenxian, who was beside him, was relieved of his worries at this time, and his face showed a little excitement.

Hu Wenxian followed the troops to Anqing, while his family stayed in Nanjing, and the two sides were separated. In this world, Hu Wenxian is obviously very uneasy about the separation of his parents and family, but people go to high places, Tang Wencan has a bright future, and Hu Wenxian follows Tang Wencan all the way, which is obviously more promising than returning to the logistics army as a clerk. After thinking about it again, Hu Wenxian still stepped on the boat bound for Anqing. It's his own choice.

Just like Chen Jigong, who had transferred most of his property and craftsmen to Zhoushan, but still remained in Songjiang, he had a headache with the thick handful of materials sent to him by Chen Ming. The second brother asked him to build a Western-style sailboat and sent him these things, but he really couldn't understand it. "Call the old horse head over, and Lao Deng, Lao Sun, go and call ......" (to be continued.) )
