Nanchang, outside Zhangjiang Gate. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Zhicui, who was formerly the governor of Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty and is now promoted to the governor of Jiangxi, was full of spirits, and was surrounded by Chen Sheng, the commander of the Provincial Security Corps, and others, and there were people talking and laughing.

"Lord Wang, the preparation for the construction of the Nanchang Massacre Memorial Hall is a major matter that His Royal Highness King Qi personally asked, you can't be sloppy."

"Futai adults can rest assured that the memorial hall is built according to the highest specifications, and it will never be worse than Yangzhou, Jiangyin, Fuzhou, Guangzhou and other places."

The right Buzheng Wang Ting, who was also a demoted official, almost patted his chest and assured Li Zhicui that there was no problem at the memorial hall.

Li Zhicui believes that the royal court will not be consumed by profit and fill his own pockets, because this project is heavenly. If Wang Ting really fainted, it would be his own death, and then Jinyi Wei locked him into Beijing, and no one could save him.

"By the way, have the tombs of Jin and Wang been completed? One of them is the Duke of Yuguo, and the other is the Marquis of Jianwu, both died in state affairs, and the King of Qi ordered a thick burial, so this tomb has to be built decently. ”

"My lord, this is a bit tricky."

Wang Ting's face was embarrassed, Jin Shengheng committed suicide by throwing more than 20 arrows into the lake, the body was salvaged by the Qing army and divided the body, Wang Deren was also dismembered alive by the Qing army, so the bones of the two people are gone, but now they want to build a mausoleum for the two, but he asked him where to find the bones of Jin and Wang.

Li Zhicui thought for a while and said: "Since the bones can't be found, they will build a clothed mound, isn't the Shi Kebu on the Plum Blossom Ridge also a clothed mound." ”

"That's a good idea."

Wang Ting nodded and thought it was, but said again: "In fact, His Royal Highness the King of Qi attaches too much importance to Jin and Wang, and when these two people descended to the Qing Dynasty earlier, they also harmed many anti-Qing soldiers and civilians. It's just a matter of building a memorial hall for the Jihai Massacre, but why bother to build tombs and erect monuments for these two people. ”

"As I said, if you have descended to the Tartars, you can no longer be a minister? Then Li Chengdong also slaughtered Jiaxing three times, wasn't he also crowned king by Yongli. ”

Chen Sheng, the commander of the security corps, was originally the chief soldier of the Qing Dynasty, and when the Taiping army entered Nanchang that day, the governor Zhang Chaoxuan ordered him to hunt and kill Li Zhicui, but Chen Sheng did not obey the order, but asked his subordinates to treat Li Zhicui well, saving Li Zhicui's life.

After the surrender of Nanchang, Li Zhicui certainly won the trust of Zhou Shixiang, the king of Qi, and first served as the governor of Jiangxi, and then promoted to the governor of Jiangxi. In order to thank Chen Sheng for saving his life, Li Zhicui tried his best to protect Chen Sheng from Zhou Shixiang, and Chen Sheng became the commander of the Jiangxi Provincial Security Corps with the rank of commander-in-chief. Although he brought a local security team, he seemed to be a member of Jiangxi's civil and military forces.

The grace of saving lives and the love of protection, the relationship between Li and Chen is very close.

Chen Sheng was dissatisfied with Wang Ting's words just now, because according to his words, then what are they? Except for a small number of Jiangxi civil and military officers present, most of them have been descended to the Qing Dynasty. According to the royal court's view, wouldn't they all be valued?

Li Zhicui heard the meaning of Chen Sheng's words, smiled slightly, and said to Wang Ting, half warning and half reminding: "King Qi does not doubt the use of people, but does not use suspicious people. But all those who have contributed to the society and the people will be treated favorably by the king of Qi, regardless of the previous suspicions. Therefore, we must follow King Qi with a solid heart in the future, and we must not have the idea of contempt for ourselves, let alone look down on others.

Lord Wang must know that Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, and Li Laiheng, the king of Shun, were both born thieves in the past, and the rest such as the kings of Gongchang and Jianchang were also born in the same way. Those generals under King Qi are even more from the Qing army, but now, who dares to despise them for half a point? After speaking, he paused, "There are no outsiders here, just say that kind of thing, forget it, if you let someone listen to it, I'm afraid it will be troublesome." ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Futai taught me a lesson."

Wang Ting's heart was cold, his scalp was numb, and he secretly scolded himself for being really fast, do you care what he Li Chengdong or Jin Shengheng did in the past, and now that the King of Qi has set the tone, if you say that they are not good, wouldn't it be against the King of Qi.

and the commander of the Taiping Army, His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Ming Dynasty, what is the end, the royal court is very clear. Those who were slaughtered in Ganzhou and Ji'an, Zhang Chaoxuan, Tong Fengcai, Liu Tongchun and others were dismembered alive and abandoned in front of him.

Li Zhicui turned to this matter, and asked about the construction of the royal court memorial hall, Chen Sheng listened to a few words on the side, and suddenly asked with great concern: "Lord Futai, the king of Qi organized this group of officials of the imperial court to come to my Nanchang to visit the Jihai Massacre Memorial Hall, is it simply to let them know the tragedy of the year, or is there something else, the last general is really stupid, and I ask the two adults to reveal one or two." ”

Wang Ting shook his head and said, "When there is no other meaning, I just want the officials of the imperial court to see the inside and outside of my Nanchang City, so that they can see the atrocities of the Qing army in their own years, and see the vast sentient beings trampled by the iron hooves." ”

Li Zhicui thought of something early and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't speak.

"Didn't you two guess something else?" Chen Sheng always felt that this matter was not so simple, otherwise, how could he be so laborious and mobilize the people, and pull the officials above the head of the Jiuqing to visit the provinces one by one.

Li Zhicui shook his head, Wang Ting didn't think much about it, and at this time, someone came to report that the team of the imperial court had arrived.

"Oh, here it is!"

Li Zhicui smiled and waved his hand, signaling a group of civil and military officers to follow him to pick up the court officials. Although he is the governor of Jiangxi and a provincial official, there are no shortage of high-ranking officials, and he was still escorted by the Jinyi guard, so he didn't dare to put on the governor's shelf. After all, it doesn't hurt that he is demoted, and it never hurts to behave politely.

..........

The group of officials who came to Nanchang came from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and several yamen of Taichang Temple, Dali Temple, and Duchayuan, with a total of 126 people. Escorted by the Jinyi army, they boarded the ship from Nanjing, and went upstream, first to Anqing, then to Jiujiang, and then from Jiujiang to Nanchang.

According to the plan, this is the first batch, followed by the second batch, the third batch, and after the visit of the officials of the Yamen of the Great and Small Jiuqing, there are also students from Guozijian and Nanjing Wubei School, Jiangnan Army University and University Hall, and middle schools in various provinces. The expenses required are all paid by the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the local government does not have to bear them, only food and accommodation are provided.

Thirty percent of the Holocaust memorials are borne by the local government, and the remaining seventy percent is also allocated by the Metropolitan Governor's Office. It can also be seen from this that Zhou Shi attaches great importance to this matter.

The first batch of officials to arrive in Nanchang was led by the minister of the university scholar, and the escorted Jinyi pro-army was led by Pan Xuezhong, a thousand households in Nanzhen.

"See Scholar Ding!"

Li Zhicui led a group of Jiangxi civil and military officers to come forward to greet Ding Zhixiang, Ding Zhixiang waved his hand, and said with a straight face: "This official is on behalf of the imperial court, on behalf of His Royal Highness the King of Qi came to Nanchang to commemorate the Jihai massacre and killed soldiers and civilians, so don't want to give a false ceremony or anything, and don't put on any reception banquet." In the past few days in Nanchang, the accompanying officials have all eaten and lived together, and the diet is mainly light. Now, lead us to the memorial. ”

Li Zhicui and the others were stunned, this Scholar Ding was so resolute?

I was angry today, and the decoration upstairs was not connected to the sewer under the pool, and as a result, the water was released, and my study was completely flooded. The water has been blistered for three days, the floor, wallpaper, and ceiling are all broken, and I am so angry that I have nothing to say. The sewer pipes are not connected!
