Chapter 426: People from Guangdong
Siming Prefecture was originally Yongning Weizhong Zuo, Zheng Chenggong renamed it Siming Prefecture in the ninth year of Yongli to express the meaning of missing the Ming Dynasty. The state bureau has set up six officials, including governors and officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and recruited officials who have been left behind to handle military and political affairs. However, whether it is a local or a foreigner, they are still used to calling Siming Prefecture Xiamen.
Since the fifth year of Yongli, Xiamen has become the base of the restoration of the Ming forces along the coast of Fujian, and now there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who are attached to the king of Yanping, Zheng Chenggong, to resist the Qing Dynasty, and the king of Yanping is engaged in sea trade, so that Xiamen and the Kinmen across the sea are brightly lit at night, all kinds of cargo ships dock here to unload and load, busy and abnormal, and there are many businessmen who come and go with white hair, red eyes and green noses, and there are many Japanese people.
From time to time, warships flying the Yanping flag sailed by on the sea, and the sailors and soldiers on board were in high spirits, with indescribable confidence on their faces, as if they were the masters of the sea.
In the distant night, a warship sailing from Xiangshan, Guangdong, slowly approached Siming Port. On the bow of the ship, Xu Yingyuan, dressed in a Confucian shirt, looked at the busy port in front of him in surprise, and was surprised by the strength of the Zheng Clan's navy sailing on the sea.
Zheng's navy found Xu Yingyuan's warship, and the three clippers quickly approached, and found that the ship was flying the Ming flag, and after the people on board signaled to enter the port, one of the three clippers guided in front, and two escorted it into the port on the left and right
It was late at night, and the palace of Yanping County was also brightly lit. The county palace is built in the east of Siming Prefecture, and if you push the window from the palace, you can see the opposite Kinmen Island if the sky is fine.
In the palace, 35-year-old Princess Dong You of Yanping is warming wine for her husband Zheng Chenggong, King of Yanping. Dong You is the niece of Dong Yangxian, a Fujian Hui'an Jinshi and a former waiter of the Chongzhen Dynasty Rite Department, and the two married in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, when Dong You was 18 years old. Zheng Chenggong is 20 years old. Now the two have been married for 17 years, and their eldest son Zheng Jing is 16 years old.
After taking a sip of the wine glass, Zheng Chenggong, who was already middle-aged, suddenly felt a little uneasy, he pulled his wife Dong You to sit down, and said to her with some worry: "This time I rejected the Qing court again, but I don't know if my father's side will be angry." ”
Although Dong You is a woman, she is quite shrewd and capable. Sometimes even more thoroughly than her husband, she shook her head slightly, and said to Zheng Chenggong: "The prince is too worried." As long as the prince is here, Ah Gong will be fine. ”
Zheng Chenggong thought about it, what his wife said was very true, if the Qing court really wanted to kill his father, he would have done it a long time ago. Why wait until today.
Let go of your worries. Picking up the wine glass again and taking another sip, Zheng Chenggong said with a smile: "It's still Mrs.'s craftsmanship, this wine is neither lukewarm nor hot, and the lower belly is warm, just right." ”
Dong You said with a smile: "The prince hasn't eaten my warm wine for a long time, I thought that the prince had long forgotten what wine tasted like!" ”
"Where can I forget?"
Zheng Chenggong looked at his wife with some guilt and said: "These years have been ups and downs, stumbling. You have not lived a day of peace with me, and you have suffered and suffered. ”
Dong You hurriedly said: "Look at what the prince said." God is destined to let me accompany you, and I will try my best to serve the prince well. As a woman, I only know how to warm wine for you when you are bored, and help you burn your feet when you are tired. ”
Zheng Chenggong was greatly moved when he heard this, he stroked Dong You's hair and said: "Sometimes I really feel sorry for you, you take care of this family carefully, and you have spent a lot of thought on me, but I have given myself to the cause of Hongfu Tiandao and Zhongxing Daming." ”
Although he is an old husband and wife, being touched by her husband like this, Dong You couldn't help but blush, and said coquettishly: "Don't talk about it, how can a man put his mind on a woman, you are a person who does great things, and I am willing to take care of the affairs of the family for you with you." ”
Seeing that his wife was blushing, Zheng Chenggong chuckled and asked her, "How is Jing'er doing?" ”
"You don't care about your son as a father on weekdays, so you'll come to ask me about my mother."
Dong You glanced at her husband, and then told him that his son had been studying with Chen Yonghua recently, and he was quite studious.
This Chen Yonghua is a member of Longxi, his father is Chen Ding, a jinshi of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Qing army captured Tong'an in the fifth year of Shunzhi, and Chen Ding hanged himself in Minglun Hall. At that time, Chen Yonghua was only fifteen years old, a doctoral disciple, after the Qing army entered the city, Chen Yonghua fled from the city, and a few years later ran to Xiamen, where Wang Zhongxiao, the squire of the military department, recommended him to Zheng Chenggong because of his talent.
Zheng Chenggong and Chen Yonghua talked about current affairs, although the latter is not very old, but his insight is wonderful, so it is very in line with Zheng Chenggong's heart, immediately granted him the position of joining the army, and treated him with courtesy, and a few days ago he was appointed as the teacher of his eldest son Zheng Jing, which shows his great heart.
Zheng Chenggong knew that although Chen Yonghua was not good at talking and was humble with others, he was able to refuse to fight and not back down half a step at critical times. He ordered Chen Yonghua to be the eldest son's teacher, and he also intended to let him assist his son Zheng Jing in the future.
Dong You said something about his son's study, and suddenly changed his words and said: "Lord Wang, Zhi'er needs to call a nurse over there." "Ji'a is the fourth son of Success, only a few months old.
"You arrange these things, ask me what I do."
Zheng Chenggong was a little stunned, the affairs in the house have always been decided by the lady, and he never asked, but for some reason, the lady suddenly told him that she wanted to give Zhi'er a nurse. Does he still have to worry about such things?
Dong You said: "I want to arrange for Zhao Niang to come over." ”
"Zhao Niang?"
Zheng Chenggong didn't have the impression of this woman in his mind, Dong You clicked on him and remembered that this Zhao Niang was the wife of an officer under his subordinates, who had just given birth to a pair of twins, with good figures and good looks, and plenty of milk, so Dong You wanted to call her to be Zhi'er's nurse. But Zhao Niang's husband is a successful general, so if he wants his wife to enter the palace as a nurse, he has to talk to others, if people don't want to, even Princess Yanping can't force people to come, so she has to talk to her husband.
Chenggong thought that this was a trivial matter, so he promised to talk about it to Zhaoniang's husband tomorrow. Dong You mentioned another matter, she said: "Jing'er is not young anymore, is it to tell him about family affairs?" Without waiting for her husband to speak, she said again: "I have seen Shangshu Tang Xianyue's daughter once, she looks dignified, and she is invited to teach Xixi in a small family, she is knowledgeable, I like it very much."
Hearing that Mrs. Chenggong almost said that she wanted the daughter of the Tang family to be her daughter-in-law, she couldn't help laughing and said, "If you like it, ask someone to propose it." ”
Dong You said angrily: "You, the father, don't propose to your son, do you want me, a woman, to come forward?" ”
"That's right."
It is a big deal to propose to his son, and if he succeeds, he wants to find a suitable person to propose to Tang Shangshu, and he is thinking about who to send, and Liu Guoxuan, the general in charge of Houzhen, will send someone to report, saying that someone from Guangdong is coming.
Liu Guoxuan was originally a thousand commanders of the Qing army, when Zheng Chenggong besieged Zhangzhou in the eighth year of Yongli, Liu Guoxuan actively instigated the defense of the city to surrender, and then led the Zheng army to attack Zhangzhou City without blood, forcing the Qing court Zhangzhou guard Zhang Shiyao and others to surrender to Zheng. Because of this, Liu Guoxuan was awarded the title of Governor by Zheng Chengguo, and was in charge of guarding the affairs of Houzhen.
People from Guangdong?
Chenggong was slightly stunned, thinking of what his father said in his letter to him last time, and combined with the Qing court to send the prince Jidu to lead the army south to Guangdong, he couldn't help but guess whose family came from Guangdong
