[Thank you for the reward of 1888, thank you],

[Still a big chapter of 4500+]

The more the government wants to forget about some things, and the more the government wants to completely suppress them, the more it will get the opposite result. Because the common people of China are naturally resistant to the government. In the later generations of the Great Tian Dynasty, the common people did not believe in the country, and took the reports and remarks of the foreign media as the truth, and the current Manchu Qing Dynasty was also like this.

A braid-cutting case broke out in Yingzhou Mansion, which spread to eastern Henan and northern Anhui for a while, bringing great panic to the people and the government. So what kind of place is Yingzhou Mansion? It is adjacent to Henan, and is only separated from the battlefield on the Eastern Front by a Chenzhou Mansion. The bad influence that broke out from here quickly spread to half of Henan and half of Anhui, can the Qing government army that was 'fighting' on the battlefield in Henan not be affected at all?

That's absolutely impossible.

Therefore, Aligon, who was sitting in Zhengzhou, severely reprimanded the governor of Henan, Yamen, and then directly reprimanded the prefect of Yingzhou.

In Chenzhou Mansion, Yingzhou Mansion, Fengyang Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion and other places, all the officials are doing their best to suppress the spread of this turmoil among the people. It is true that the people quickly returned to calm, but beneath this calm exterior lies endless turbulence. Because the local government in Henan and Anhui did not see the shadow of the mixed yuan sect in it.

The Mixed Yuan Sect did an extremely beautiful job, and when the news reached Jiangning, which had been renamed Nanjing, Chen Ming couldn't help but applaud.

Liu Song and his Mixed Yuan Sect have the ability to be big directors and famous actors, and this drama is bright.

"If this Gao Jin and Rong Bao also have this ability, and the trick is bright, Lao Tzu will now sit in the Ming Imperial City and watch the scenery." Shaking his head, Chen Ming was quite dissatisfied with the progress of the evacuation of the bannermen in Nanjing City. Gao Jin and Rong Bao couldn't even say that the flag people under them couldn't move.

Breaking through the outer city of Nanjing, the Fu Han army still failed to control the entire city of Nanjing. Because the huge city of Nanjing is too big, it is a city wall of 180 miles, think about how big the area of the city can be. As far as the manpower in Chen Ming's hands is concerned, while confiscating the homes of officials, gentry and merchants, he also has to guard against the city, and there is simply not enough manpower to guard all the city gates.

In the days following the destruction of Nanjing, crowds of people poured out of the city every moment of the day. Chen Ming opened his mouth in the south and west directions of Nanjing, he thought that the banner people in the city would also escape from the city along this mouth, who knew that they would not move at all. Apparently I think it's a trap.

Chen Ming wanted to say to them: You think too much. He asked the captured Nanjing officials to go to Mancheng to deliver letters, under the guise of wanting to surrender Mancheng, in fact, he negotiated business with Gao Jin and Rong Bao, and the latter kept everything in Mancheng, food, money, buildings, gunpowder, etc., and obediently withdrew from Nanjing, whether it was to the south or west, it was casual. The Fu Han army now only needs this dragon and tiger Nanjing City.

As a result, Gao Jin and Rong Bao's status in the hearts of the Manchu people was seriously inconsistent with their own official positions. Until now, half of the people in Nanjing City have escaped, and the large army of the city is still there. Chen Ming could only drag the cannons one by one from outside the city to the inside of the city, and the shelling of the whole city has not stopped in the past few days, just to force them.

What is the population of Nanjing? It's a million-dollar city. Moreover, the Fu Han army marched all the way south, and also forced a large number of fleeing gentry and rich people and countless times more ordinary people into this huge city, and now they set out from Nanjing City again, embarking on a new way of escape, and at least half of the people in Nanjing City also escaped. Many of the city's hutongs and streets have become no-man's land.

Chen Ming did not stop these people from fleeing. Because the most direct consequence of this move is that millions of refugees rushed into southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they were avoiding the Fu Han army, but their own actions were simply the vanguard of the Fu Han army. Millions of refugees will have an immeasurable impact on the economy, public security, food, and the most immeasurable hearts and minds in the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas.

If it is said that the land reinforcements from Zhejiang and Fujian could have launched a counterattack on Nanjing City in ten days, then now that these refugees are so rushed, this time will be extended to half a month, 20 days, or even longer.

The Fu Han army killed all the way from Wuchang to Nanjing, but how much economic damage could it directly do to Jiangnan? More indirect.

Millions of people have become refugees and refugees to escape the war, and as an official government and a court, can the Qing court ignore it?

This matter is like the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, if it is only a subprime mortgage crisis, how much economic volume can be involved? But how much did they lose from the overall economic crisis in the United States caused by this? The global economic crisis caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, how many billions of dollars have been wasted?

The same is true of Chen Ming's actions.

He conquered Nanjing, sweeping Hubei, Jiangxi, and Anhui along the way, and millions of refugees would flood into Jiangnan in the next few months to a year. The Fu Han army also cut off the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and cut off the grain that the Manchu court relied on for its livelihood. This is a direct kick in the lifeblood of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

According to the news from the dark camp, the flag soldiers in Beijing are already being rectified, and it is believed that the Beijing flag will soon move south. Moreover, the horse teams and infantry of the Kwantung region are also being mobilized one after another, and the men and horses of Shandong are no longer going to Henan, but to the south of the Yangtze River.

A large army in Sichuan is also being mobilized, and soon the second Sichuan army will follow the Yangtze River into Hubei.

To this day, Chen Ming has achieved his most direct purpose when planning this scene, to share the pressure of the General's Mansion and reduce the pressure on the nest. Now the general's mansion in southwest Henan is much less stressed than it was pre-envisaged.

……

The fifth day of the fourth month was originally the day when the Mixed Yuan Sect decided to start an incident, but on this day, the place on the border between Henan and Anhui was peaceful. The Mixed Yuan Sect postponed the uprising, because the Fu Han army wanted them to strike while the iron was hot and make another sensational wave of braid-cutting cases. This time, the Fu Han army sold 10,000 taels of silver, 300 pairs of iron armor, 2,000 knives and guns, and five small cannons.

As long as the Mixed Yuan Sect is obedient, the Fu Han Army will be a hundred concerned about the uprising of the Mixed Yuan Sect. Isn't the biggest purpose of the weapons and money they store outside just to make trouble for the Qing soldiers? These ironclad knives, guns and even artillery have no value in themselves, and only when they are in the hands of the rebels can they exert greater value.

Just like Chen Liang who rushed to Fujian, his target was originally in Taiwan, because Taiwan produces sulfur, and he took out to contact foreign bandits in the southeast sea. Japan was now closed off from the rest of the world, trading only with the Netherlands and China, and there was a limit on the number of ships that could travel with China, and many of this trade was in the hands of the traditional maritime merchant families of the Thirteen Hangs in Guangzhou and Fujian, who were deeply involved in the Manchu government, and it was difficult for the Fu Han army to get enough sulfur from them.

Chen Ming didn't believe in the behavior of the Thirteen Elements and the Southeast Sea merchants, but no matter how corrupt the object was, it would take a certain amount of time to incubate him. The urgent need for sulfur was everywhere. In this way, Taiwan has become a strategic target for the hidden camp. Everyone knows that this place in Taiwan is the weak point of the Manchu rule, a small rebellion in three years, a major rebellion in ten years, Zheng Ming is dead, but heaven and earth will be deeply rooted here.

The Fu Han Army, the Heaven and Earth Society, the two sides have a common goal. The former is rich, the latter is connected. If we can work together, we can complement each other.

When Chen Liang was looking for the Taiwan Heaven and Earth Society, he first got acquainted with the local leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society, Lu Mao, He Zhe, and Lin Xian, in Zhangpu, who drank fragrant ash wine together as early as last year and vowed to make a decision to oppose the Qing Dynasty. After the two sides put their heads together, it was really a man and a woman, dry wood and fire. The dark camp fully intervened in the uprising process of the Zhangpu Tiandihui, Chen Liang used 5,000 taels of silver to express his wealth and the importance that the Fu Han army attached to them, and the simple and crude plans of Lu Mao and others were all overthrown. In the process of brewing the uprising of the Zhangpu Tiandihui, Chen Liang also met Yan Yan, the big leader of the Taiwan Tiandihui, through Lu Mao's recommendation. At this point, the secret camp of the Fu Han Army has taken a deep foundation and gained a firm foothold on the southeast coast.

In the days that followed, batches of sulfur, more or less in quantity, but once every ten days, a steady stream of sea routes from Fujian into the Yangtze River, into the warehouses of various secret liaison locations in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It has made an absolute contribution to the gunpowder reserves of the Fu Han army now calculated in units of 10,000 barrels.

And the Fu Han Army also used a large amount of silver to make the local Tiandihui in Fujian [the scope is no longer limited to Zhangpu], and the soft and hard power of the Tiandihui in Taiwan across the strait has skyrocketed. The leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society in many places are planning uprisings, and they don't care at all that their own signs for a hundred years are 'anti-Qing and Ming', and the Fu Han army is talking about 'anti-Qing and Han restoration'. The Chinese, who are very flexible, have shown absolutely strong ability to reconcile in this regard.

……

The sixth day of the fourth month. Kaifeng Mansion, Henan Provincial City, Daxiangguo Temple.

Zhu Sanshui came early in the morning, and his expression was very serious. Because he has a task in his body, his body and mind are under great pressure, after all, he is a person who is just twenty years old, and he lives in Daxiangguo Temple all the year round. Not much has been experienced.

Zhu Sanshui is a native of Kaifeng Mansion, because he was sick at an early age, he was sent by his mother to Daxiangguo Temple to receive a shaving at the age of nine. Later, he learned about one thing, his parents, his grandparents, and his ancestors for several generations turned out to be White Lotus disciples. Zhu Sanshui is not a member of the White Lotus Sect, and he doesn't really believe in 'no mother, vacuum hometown', and he believes in Maitreya Buddha more than the White Lotus Sect.

In the Qing Dynasty, the situation of monks was much better than that of Taoist people, but the degree had to be issued by the government, and compared with the previous dynasties, the religious power faded little by little in the influence of the people.

Zhu Sanshui is already twenty years old, but he has not been killed, and he is not a true monk. Today he is going to Lanyang with his senior brother. His senior brother is not a genuine monk, and he does not have a degree. He is Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old today, surnamed Li, and has been in the temple for three years. is old, and Zhu Sanshui himself is not a genuine monk, so he calls Senior Brother Monk Li.

Monk Li is a native of Lanyang, and Lanyang in the Manchu Dynasty is the Lankao of later generations, which is not the national commercial grain production base county and the national high-quality cotton base county after the good secretary Jiao Yulu, and now Lanyang is an old and difficult county, and the Yellow River flood threatens local safety every year. Three years ago, Henan did not suffer from the disaster, but Monk Li died in that year when his parents, wife and children all died, and he became disheartened and became a monk in Daxiangguo Temple.

Tomorrow is the third year of Monk Li and his father, Monk Li must go back to Lankao, and Zhu Sanshui will go with him. Because Monk Li wanted to tidy up his father's grave when he went back this time, and he also bought a lot of paper money and folded yellow paper, as well as gold and silver ingots folded by himself, it was inconvenient for him to carry it alone.

Zhu Sanshui deeply apologized to Monk Li in his heart, and followed Monk Li out of Kaifeng City. The two of them did not take a boat, one carried a large package, and Monk Li personally carried a bag full of paper ingots.

From morning to noon, Zhu Sanshui didn't say a word, and he didn't shout tired or bitter. Monk Li was very grateful to Zhu Sanshui, because among all the people he knew, Zhu Sanshui was the only one who was willing to help him.

At noon, the two walked through a small town, and at the entrance of the town, Zhu Sanshui and Monk Li met two boys. Both children were in their early teens and were playing in front of an open-gate yard, presumably in front of their own home. One of the boys saw the name engraved on the bowl that Zhu Sanshui was carrying, so he read it out loud. Zhu Sanshui pretended to be surprised, smiled and said to the child: "Little official, it turns out that you are literate!" If you study for a few more years, you will definitely be able to find a half-official position. He then asked, "What's your name?" When you become an official, don't forget the monk. Monk Li stood aside with a smile on his face. He regarded Zhu Sanshui's familiar words as Zhu Sanshui's words to coax children, thinking that Zhu Sanshui wanted to please the children, so that their parents would come out of the courtyard to give alms. However, the boys ran back to the courtyard as if frightened. The two monks had no choice but to go on the road.

They walked down the road for a moment, and an angry couple chased after them from behind. "You monk, why do you inquire about my child's name?" They scolded Zhu Sanshui and Monk Li, "You must have come to cut your braids!" "This couple is also a believer arranged by the Mixed Yuan Sect.

The braid-cutting case of the head of the world affected the entire eastern Henan, and the two people who committed the crime, Yuan Tong and Baohe, were two monks, and now Zhu Sanshui and Li Monk are also two monks. It directly stimulated the people of the town who surrounded it.

After the incident of the head of the world, there is a legend in eastern Henan and northern Anhui, saying that as long as the demon monk knows your name and calls you lightly, people will be fascinated, and their braids will be cut off and they will be completely ignorant.

Monk Li sweated on his head, he didn't want to get contaminated with this braided case at all, and he couldn't shoot it off if he was sticky to his body. Monk Li tried his best to explain that they were only here to transform the fate: "Because your son can read and write, he said a few words, how can he call the soul?" ”

But where did the people in the town believe it? Long before this day, the Mixed Yuan Sect, which was fully prepared, had released rumors around here, saying that a group of demon monks and demon daos who called souls had come here these days, wandering around, and wanted to cast spells on the children's bodies and soil, making them either sick or dead, in order to blackmail the children's parents. "These two monks are definitely not good people!" There were also mixed Yuan cultists in the crowd who were cheering and shouting, which soon provoked people's anger, and the surrounding crowd became furious, tied up the two of them, and searched up and down.

As a result, the yellow paper that Monk Li went home to fulfill his father's filial piety turned into rune paper, and paper money and paper ingots also became the treasures that the demon monks wanted to seduc. People began beating them, the rioting crowd grew larger and larger, and some shouted "Burn them!" Others shouted, "Tie them up and throw them into the river and drown them!" ”

When the Kaifeng prefect's yamen got the letter and sent someone to take Zhu Sanshui and Monk Li away, both of them were already half dead.

The officials of the Kaifeng prefect's yamen carried two monks to pass by Tubaigang, and then there were no people. By the time the Kaifeng Mansion sent people to find the two officials and the four white servants at dawn, the pigtails on the brains of the six people were gone. Zhu Sanshui and Monk Li are also gone. What followed was the same scene as the matter of the head of the realm, the people in the town lost the braids of five people one after another, and all five of them were seriously ill, while the six officials and white servants simply fell ill and died.

The news reported that the governor Yamen, I heard that the governor (He Xuan) also went to the Confucian Temple. (To be continued.) )
