On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the five provinces of Changsha, Hunan Province put up lanterns and lanterns, but lost their joy because of a couplet found when they opened the door in the morning.

Although the edict did not deprive Hong Chengchou of the post of the five provincial governors, but handed over the command of the three-way army in Guizhou to the king of Xinjun, which means that Hong Chengchou has been preparing for several years, and finally because Sun Kewang is expected to surrender and can implement the "war of annihilation" will not have anything to do with him, and his role in this war is only that the role of the five provinces in this war is only a grain and grass transport officer.

Behind Hong Chengchou was the Yunnan-Guizhou topographic map that Sun Kewang helped build, on which the direction of attack of the three-way army had already been marked.

According to Hong Chengchou's plan, Wu Sangui and Li Guohan of Sichuan led their troops to advance south to Baoning, and after occupying Chongqing, they marched to Guizhou; In the middle route, the army was led by the Ningnan Jingkou general Luo Tuo and Gushan Ezhenji Xiha, and then together with 16,000 officers and soldiers of the left standard commander Li Benshen and the right standard commander Daniel Zhang of the Hong Chengchu department, they entered Zhanchenzhou, and 11,000 officers and soldiers led by Yuan Kuoyu, the governor of Biyuan, led by Li Ruchun, Wang Ping, Nan Yikui, Chen De, and other troops to occupy the city from Baoqing, and occupied Wugang, Xinning, Chengbu and other Ming troops; On the left road, Zhao Butai, the general of Zhengnan from Jiangning, led the army to Wuchang, and then arrived in Hengzhou, Hunan, and went to Guangxi with 3,000 troops of Zhang Guozhu, the general soldier of the left road under the banner of Hong Chengchou, and met with more than 8,000 soldiers of the national security department of the admiral line under the Dingfan. Enter Guizhou through Nandan Prefecture and Nadi Prefecture. If all goes well, the three armies will meet in Guizhou and then march into Yunnan together.

In addition to clarifying that the army of the three routes into Guizhou would be controlled by Wang Doni of Xinjun, Shunzhi also said in a euphemistic tone that after the army of King Xinjun arrived in Hunan, it would be necessary to see whether the attack on Guizhou was smooth. Then decide on the date when the Dhoni army will move south to capture Yunnan. In addition, in order to reflect that the Qing Dynasty reward is not overdue, Shunzhi specially sent Ma Leji, a bachelor of the Hanlin Hongwen Academy, as the main envoy, Hu Zhaolong, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Inner Hanlin Secretarial Academy, and Qi Chebai, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, as the deputy envoy to register and seal, and made a special trip to Hunan to carry the canonization ceremony. At the same time, Hong Chengchou was asked to prepare for Sun Kewang's enthronement ceremony in Changsha, and after the ceremony, he sent elite soldiers to escort Sun Kewang to Beijing to see His Majesty.

The three holy decrees issued earlier and this new edict were not only for Hong Chengchou to transfer his Han army to Zhao Butai and Luo Tuo. Preparing the supply of food and grass for the army and preparing for the king ceremony for Sun Kewang has nothing to do with Hong Chengchou. The emperor didn't even say a word of praise to Hong Chengchou, which made Hong Chengchou very disappointed.

After reading the edict repeatedly, Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly. I feel very aggrieved again. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was sleeping soundly with his wives and concubines in the morning, when suddenly the guards guarding the door broke into the sleeping hall with a pair of undried ink couplets in their hands. Hong Chengchou took the couplet and looked at it. His face swelled like a purple eggplant. It turns out that the upper couplet is "loyalty, righteousness, filial piety, etiquette and integrity", but the lower couplet is "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven". The upper couplet lacks "shame", the lower couplet forgets "eight", and the one who posted this couplet is clearly scolding Hong Chengchou for being a shameless Wang Ba, can he not be angry?

is angry, but there is no way to take people, there are so many people in Changsha City, who knows who posted this couplet. Where to arrest people, there is no way. Hong Chengchou could only sprinkle his anger on the guards guarding the door and beat them hard, but there was no New Year's atmosphere at all in the Jingluo Yamen on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Hong Chengchou sighed, he was a little jealous of Sun Kewang, the court of the defeated people who surrendered to him was named the righteous king, but he didn't even have a title until now, and finally Meng Dang valued the five provinces to be responsible for the war in the south, but the situation was good just now but he put himself aside, it really couldn't make him not feel cold.

Suppressing the grievances in his heart, Hong Chengchou picked up an anthology on the desk and read it, and after reading a few words, he was furious and slammed the anthology to the ground. This anthology was written by Gu Yanwu, a great Confucian in Kunshan, and what made Hong Chengchou angry was this passage: "There is a death of the country, and there is a death of the world." Tell the difference between the dead country and the dead world? He said: 'The change of surname is called the death of the country. Benevolence and righteousness are full, and as for leading beasts to eat people, people will eat each other, which is called the death of the world. 'It is to know the world and then to protect the country. Those who defend the country are sought by their kings and their ministers, and those who eat meat. Those who protect the world are cheap and responsible."

"What does a rotten Confucian know, what is the death of the country and the world, how can the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty die in the world!"

Hong Chengchou slapped the table heavily, so that Yuan Kuoyu, the governor of Piyuan who came to pay him a New Year's greeting, was startled, stepped forward to pick up the collection and looked at it, and saw that it was written by the great Confucian Gu Yanwu, so he didn't say anything, stepped forward to pay a New Year's greeting to Hong Chengchou, and then said: "Measure above, the sky is wide, and the sea is wide." There is a madman surnamed Qin in Kunshan, who made a song of "Eternal Sorrow", and between the words and meanings, he ridiculed this dynasty very much. Not only was the emperor angry, but he also asked the musicians to enter the palace and sing about food. ”

Hong Chengchou didn't understand what Yuan Kuoyu meant by this, Yuan Kuoyu smiled, pointed to Gu Yanwu's anthology, and said: "The Holy Son of Heaven will not pay attention to such people, and it won't affect anything if such people write books and make speeches, how many people can be deceived into believing him?" The lord is an important minister of the imperial court, why bother with him, no matter how many books this person writes, no matter how many disciples he has, can he still be as good as the adult's achievements in the Qing Dynasty? According to the lower officials, Gu Yanwu and his people are too arrogant, and if he is so sarcastic about this dynasty, he will suffer disasters in the future. His life has a reputation to shine, the court may be worried, and his death is just afraid that those protégés and disciples will always be unlucky, and the world is about to be unified, and the Holy Son of Heaven can't let these people sing against the court, right? ”

Yuan Kuoyu, the governor of Biyuan, was single-handedly promoted by Hong Chengchou, and he was regarded as his most descendant, so when he said this, although Hong Chengchou did not squeak, his face was a little softened.

Yuan Kuoyu cleaned up the desk for Hong Chengchou, and said: "Xiaguan plans to go to the next performance, but the adults can't help it?" ”

Hong Chengchou asked, "Which one is it for?" ”

Yuan Kuoyu said: "This dynasty has been in Dingding for 14 years, where can I have a comfortable life one day?" Either the East is in turmoil or the West is in rebellion; Flattened this head. There was a commotion on that end again. Thinking of the clan of the Ming Dynasty, what princes, county kings, Zhenguo generals, etc., are living outside. was gathered by the kind of bandits who couldn't kill and couldn't die, and the pseudonym was screaming. The lower officials wanted to ask the emperor to make a decree, asking the governors of all provinces to visit the former Ming clan and send a commissioner to escort them to Beijing to support them separately. If it is accurate, how much right and wrong will not be saved? ”

"It's also a matter of morality. I want to go where the GIs go. Slaughter the city every city, wash the village every tun, I don't know how many creatures will be harmed! Hong Chengchou nodded. I think Yuan Kuoyu's method is good, but he said again: "It's also troublesome to raise it, there are always bold people in the world who are in turmoil, and when the time comes, someone will borrow their name." It's better to get rid of them all. Once it's over, the banner of restoring vision can't be played like this. ”

"This"

Yuan Kuoyu was excited, "It's also right for the lord to say this, and the lower official turned around and went up according to what the lord said." ”

"It's not that the old man is ruthless, it's that the unification of the universe is about to be, and I can't bear to let the people of the world suffer any more trouble. One more person in Zhu Ming's room will give him one more chance of chaos, do you understand? ”

"Xia Guan understands!"

Hong Chengchou snorted. was about to ask Yuan Kuoyu about the preparations for the ceremony of Sun Kewang's crowning ceremony, but Yuan Kuoyu suddenly asked him: "Is there a letter from the eldest prince?" ”

Hear the words. Hong Chengchou's face couldn't help twitching, and he pretended to be careless and said: "Shiming is alive or dead, the old man doesn't know, even if he is alive, let him be dead." ”

"The lower officials know the deeds of the adults, but outsiders are suspicious, the matter of the eldest son, it is better for the adults to go to the court as soon as possible, so as not to make people with hearts go to the holy side to go."

As soon as Yuan Kuoyu said this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but hesitate, and the emperor secretly hung me aside, could it be because of Shiming?

Yuan Kuoyu also heard some rumors before he came to talk to Hong Chengchou about it, seeing that Hong Chengchou's expression was unnatural, he didn't know whether Hong Shiming was alive or dead, and whether Hong Chengchou had a private transaction with the Ming army in Guangdong, so he only clicked to the end and didn't dare to say it deeply. When I looked up, I saw the steward of the Hong Mansion looking outside, but asked him to come in and ask what was the matter. The steward came in with a smile, asked Hong Chengchou for a greeting, and then replied to Yuan Kuoyu and said: "Song Shen led the Yang Xiao's report to come in to knock on the master, and the villain didn't dare to be alarmed when he saw the master talking to the adult." ”

Hong Chengchou asked, "Which Song senling?" ”

The steward said: "This Song Shen Ling was originally an errand boy in the house. ”

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou frowned and said, "What's your name?" But if he comes to pay New Year's greetings, let him go back. ”

The steward smiled and said: "His name is Song Wen, the lord collected it under the account when he was in Songshan, and he also saw the door for the lord for two years in Beijing, and later he was still the grace of the lord and recommended him to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Master Chen, as an errand boy." It is also the situation in the house, on the case of the Zhejiang Rebellion Army, Master Chen opened his name, and now the Han Army is participating in the Yellow Flag. This time, he entered Guizhou with the general of Zhengnan, and when he passed by, he made a special trip to visit the lord and knock on the lord's peace. He also brought some silk and jewelry, which were captured in battle, and he didn't dare to use them for himself, so he wanted to honor the master. ”

When Yuan Kuoyu heard that it was the leader of the Hong Mansion who went out to make military achievements, he didn't care, not only to worship the New Year, but also to remind Hong Chengchou, so it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he got up and said goodbye.

Hong Chengchou didn't want to see Song Wen, but he thought that this person was also a participant now, and he was promoted by his own family, and he was Hong Chengchou's person, so he couldn't bear to brush off the kindness of others, and said to the steward: "I can't see that this slave is so promising, and he is still worried about the old master, he is a conscientious child, and besides, you just ask him to come here to see him." ”

The steward promised and went out to bring Song Wen in. Song Wen wore a robe on his head and was dressed up as a leader, but he was also very imposing. As soon as he entered the door, he opened his bow left and right, asked Hong Chengchou for peace, and then knelt down and kowtowed. Hong Chengchou hurriedly shouted to help him up, and asked the steward to move a chair for Song Wen to sit down, where did Song Wen dare to sit.

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "Now that you are an official and a courtier, how can you not sit?" ”

Song Wenqian said with a smile: "The minions have a small future, they are all the grace given by the master, and the minions will never dare to be presumptuous!" ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "I'm going to ask you, sit down and talk." ”

Song Wen responded with two "yes," and only half of his buttocks were sitting, and he took out a list in his arms, and handed it over with a smile: "The slave relies on the blessing of the master, and what he gets when he breaks Zhoushan is not good." The lord kept it for rewarding people. ”

Hong Chengchou took a look, and saw that there were forty ends of tribute satin, sixty palace silks, two golden bowls, two jade cups, ten Hu beads, and one coral tree, and said with a smile: "If you get it, you can keep it for yourself." ”

Song Wen smiled: "There are still minions." ”

Hong Chengchou then asked about the chaos in Zhejiang, and Song Wen said: "On this matter. They are all the blessings of the Holy Son of Heaven. In July of the year before last, Chen Dashuai and Zhang and Ma took Zhoushan three ways. Zhang Shuai Tianlu came out of Chongming. Ma Shuai entered Baozhou and Haimen, and Governor Chen Dashuai went out to Dinghai with the whole army. The prison of the Ming Dynasty also divided three routes of soldiers to resist, called Danghu Bo Ruan Jin to be the only Jiaoguan, and called Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, to lead Zhang Jinjue, Ye Youcheng, and Ma Long, and Ruan Mei, two heroic generals, to contain our southern division. Called Zhang Huangyan, the squire of the military department, and Ruan Jun, the general, to lead five general troops to cut off the sea route in Beiyang. ”

Listened to this deployment. Hong Chengchou nodded slightly and said, "There are people in Zhoushan, and Zhang Mingzhen is also talented." ”

Song Wen echoed and said: "The Ming army is not only tightly guarded. Zhang Mingzhen served his master. Dare to smash our Wu Song. ”

"Where do you dare to take such a risky luck, it's just a pretext to escape. Otherwise, under the nest, will there be no eggs? Hong Chengchou didn't care.

"Chen Dashuai soldiers went to Dinghai and first tested the ship in Haikou, but they were suddenly attacked by the Ming soldiers and took away one building ship and ten warships. Wounded eleven generals. When they came, there were only three. It's already so at stake. It is good to come and go, that is, God responds. On the day of Bingyin, there was a sudden fog in the ocean, and the opposite side could not be seen, so Chen Dashuai called the fog to sail. ”

"Chen Jin has such courage, but he can't see it." After speaking, Hong Chengchou sighed again: "It's a pity that Chen Jin asked the thief to kill him." ”

Chen Jin was the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang in the Qing court, the Qing Dynasty in the Chongde period, and the Han army was a member of the Blue Banner. When Zheng Chenggong led the army to attack Zhangpu and Pinghe, Chen Jin supervised the troops to help, and the Jiangdong Bridge was defeated by the Zheng army, and led his troops to retreat to Tong'an. After his death, the Qing court posthumously awarded him the title of secretary of the military department.

Chen Jin can also be regarded as a benefactor who promoted himself, Song Wen of course also said a few regretful words, and then continued: "On the day when the soldiers arrived at Jiaomen, the fog faded, and the Ming soldiers felt that they were about to start a battle, when thirty or fifty sea boats suddenly sailed out of the ocean, pulling the banner of Boruan in Daming Danghu, and the sailors on the boat, taking advantage of the wind, flew fireballs. Our warship was almost burned by him, but at this moment the wind turned and their own ship was burned. After this time, Zhoushan was breached. Concubine Zhang, the wife of the prison state, even his courtiers Zhang Kentang, the scholar of the Ministry of Rites, Wu Zhongren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Li Xiangzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhu Yongyou, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, etc., there were more than 100 officials, large and small, and none of them were willing to surrender. ”

"It's rare to find these loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty."

Hong Chengchou sighed, thinking about himself, and then thinking about these people, his heart instincted a fire.

"Zhang Mingzhen heard that Zhoushan City was broken, and he was going to commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea, and he was personally persuaded by his master to live, but he heard that Zheng Kou went to Jinxia."

Hong Chengchou said: "Zhang Mingzhen has died of illness. ”

"Zhang Mingzhen is dead?"

This Song Wen didn't know, he said something about the army and listened to Hong Chengchou, seeing that Hong Chengchou was happy to hear it, he suddenly got up and knelt in front of Hong Chengchou and said: "The slave actually has one thing to ask the master to decide." ”

"What?"

Hong Chengchou was surprised, Song Wen was already a leader of the Han army, and he was also a high-grade military attaché, how could he still have something to ask for on his head, could it be that he was unwilling to go south with Zhao Butai, the general of Zhengnan? If this is the case, it will be a little troublesome, after all, the military order has been issued, and now he has no right to control the three armies, and the transfer is tricky.

Song Wen didn't talk about the transfer, but said: "The slave suffered a human life." ”

"Why did you get killed again?" Hong Chengchou frowned.

"In the slave's house, there is a new girl. This girl was originally a girl from the king of the Ming Dynasty, and she was very handsome. The slave took pity on her as a loyal descendant, and treated her like his own child. "Who is Wang Shilang?"

"It's Wang Yi, the courtier of the Lu Prison State. Chen Dashuai took Zhoushan three ways, he was in Fenghua place, recruited Qinwang, was caught by the regimental training soldiers, and was sent to the camp. Chen Dashuai personally interrogated him, and he was very stubborn, and Chen Dashuai ordered him to be shot to death with random arrows. is really an iron man, the arrow shoots like a hedgehog, and the corpse is not servant. He didn't fall until his head was cut off by an axe. There is only one girl in the family, and as a rule, she is to be enslaved by the armorer. The slave saw that the girl was pitiful, so he asked Chen Dashuai for grace and rewarded the girl to the slave. This girl is very smart, but she has a strong temperament, and she has been following the slave, and the slave is really going to be raised as a daughter. The master also knows that the slave has not been a wife, but a single, this time he was ordered to go to the southwest, and it was really not easy to leave this girl, so he hid in the army and asked her to dress up as a man and take it with him. ”

"Then Goshha asked you if you want this girl to do it?"

"Then Goshha wants this child to be a concubine, but the slave has no choice but to discuss with this child."

"Did this girl say yes?"

"It's okay to say yes. She said that since she was a child, she was the son of Huang Zongxi, and she couldn't find her late son-in-law, and she was willing not to marry for life. ”

"It's a chaste woman."

The slave told her that Na Goshha was a Manchurian and was very favored by General Zhengnan, although the slave was a participant, but the Han army was inferior to his Manchurians, so he didn't dare to resist him. If you refuse, will you not make it difficult for me? Unexpectedly, this child, after listening to the words of the slave, drew his sword, and suddenly died in vain. Na Goshha knew, said that the slave was reluctant to force the girl to death, and he couldn't get along with the slave, so he went to General Zhao Butai to sue the slave, saying that the slave was hiding his daughter in the army. General Zhao Butai wanted to correct the slave, but fortunately his colleagues in the army told him that the slave was in a hurry, and there was really no way, so he begged to come to the house to ask the master to save the slave's life! ”

After Song Wen finished speaking, he kowtowed to Hong Chengchou three times, he really didn't have any way, if he had, he wouldn't ask for the head of this former master, it was really Zhao Butai who wanted to take his head.

"This matter is all your own confusion, how to carry female dependents in the army, how do you want the old man to help you!"

Hong Chengchou snorted and got up, although the girl was a chaste woman and died a pity, but Song Wen was to blame, if he didn't bring that girl, how could there be this. Now the Manchurian general wants to take someone else's head, what should he do? Do you want to pull down the old face and beg others to let him go, a former minion?

"Master save me, if the master doesn't save me, the slave really can't live!"

Song Wen saw that Hong Chengchou was unwilling to save him, and he was also anxious, so shocked that he cried.

Hong Chengchou was upset when he heard this, and was about to take care of the matter to drive him away, when suddenly his thoughts moved, and he slowly said to Song Wen: "If you want the old man to save you, it is not difficult, but the old man has something difficult to do, do you have capable and trustworthy people under you?" ”

"Sir?" Song Wen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I don't dare to say more, but there are three or five outlaws, if the master has something to do, but take care of it, the slave will tell them to do it properly!" ”

Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment, and finally instructed Song Wen: "You pick someone and let him go to Guangzhou to do something for me." ”

"To Guangzhou?"

Song Wen was stunned again, didn't he hear that the Ming army had reoccupied Guangzhou, and the master asked him to send someone to Guangzhou to do something.

"You don't need to know what to do, but call that person to my house, and I'll do it myself. As for your business, I will tell Zhao Butai that the old man's old face can always ask for a favor for you. You don't have to go back, but wait in my house, that the people of my house may go and call your men. Hong Chengchou said coldly.

Hong Chengchou was able to save himself, Song Wen was already grateful, how dare he ask what he was doing when he sent someone to Guangzhou, kowtowed at the moment to thank him, and did what Hong Chengchou told him to do.

After Song Wen went, Hong Chengchou thought about it in the house for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind to save his son no matter what, otherwise he Hong Chengchou would be considered dead.
