The Qing army did not communicate with the north and the south, but the Taiping army did. The second and third towns of Huizhou had news sent by the sailors of Jinghai every day, and learned that a student from Lu Feng's side went out of the city to persuade a Mongolian leader to surrender, and after getting three or four hundred Mongolian soldiers to bring horses to surrender, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help but become interested in the student, and ordered Lu Feng to send this person's information.

Lu Feng soon sent the information of the student, this person's surname is Dong Changqing, a member of Changning County, Huizhou, after the Qing army entered Guangdong, he did not want to eat Qingli to serve the foreign race, so he swore that "the head does not wear the Qing Dynasty sky, and the feet do not step on the Qing Dynasty land", built a boat in his hometown, and sat in the boat with his mother, and lived in seclusion on the river, and the food and clothing were bought by the villagers and sent to the boat.

The deeds of Dong Changqing, the magistrate of Changning County, appointed by the Qing court, gave birth to a heart of respect and love for talents, and on the condition of protecting his fame, people sent a message to him to go ashore, but Dong Changqing ignored it. The magistrate was not annoyed, he made a plan, let the officials directly tie people up, as long as Dong Changqing went ashore, he would break the oath of the day, and then tempt him with fame and fortune. With a few prongs, I am not afraid that Dong Changqing will not comply.

I didn't want to do this, but it was revealed to Dong Changqing's villagers by the people of the county government, and Dong Changqing took his mother's floating boat to avoid other places overnight after knowing the news. If you can't kidnap people, you will force people to run away, Changning Zhixian can't cry and laugh, and you can't force Dong Changqing, so you give up. This magistrate is also a generous-minded person, and he did not harm Dong Changqing because of this incident, but deliberately preserved it in the next few years, if it weren't for this, Dong Changqing and other scholars who refused to cut their hair and refused to obey would have been arrested and killed by the Qing army, unless you ran to the sea. Otherwise, whether it is the river or the river, it will never be able to escape from the hands of the Qing soldiers.

Since the beginning of the second year of Yongli. Dong Changqing has not taken a step ashore for ten years, and has become middle-aged from a young man. For ten years, he was looking forward to the return of the Ming Dynasty to Guangdong, but he never saw the king, thinking that he would never have the opportunity to step on the shore again in this life, and he didn't want to have villagers come to tell him, and the city of Huizhou once again played the Ming banner!

After the villagers told each other. Dong Changqing cried loudly at the bow of the ship, and at that moment, his heart was not more excited because of the appearance of the Ming army. It's sad -- the sadness of waiting for ten years alone.

Changning was still controlled by the Qing army, the situation in Huizhou was not clear, and his mother was old, so Dong Changqing did not dare to go ashore easily. Dong's mother persuaded him to go ashore immediately to join the Huizhou Ming army. Regardless of whether the Ming army can support it this time. I have to vote for the service, so as not to regret it for the rest of my life. For her son's choice and persistence, Dong's mother has never blamed and complained, although she is a woman, she also knows the righteousness of the family and the country, and the food of the king bears the worries of the king, and her son is a show talent of the Ming Dynasty, not a show of his Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the son chose to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the mother naturally had no second words. There are too many people in this world who have done great Qing Shunmin. is not bad for his mother and son, so he will call his mother and son to be loyal to the emperor of the Zhu family.

Dong's mother is a country woman, married to the Dong family only a few years before her husband died of illness, she is a woman pulling her son, scolded as Kefu Xing, I am really afraid that one day the clan will eat his husband's desperate meal, and sell herself to another country to be a wife for others. In those years, Dong's mother lived really frightened, and it wasn't until her son was admitted to Xiucai that Dong's mother finally let go of the things that had been pressed in her heart for more than ten years, and she could be regarded as raising her eyebrows and daring to speak loudly in front of the Dong family with her waist straight. All this is only because his son was admitted to Xiucai and was admitted to the Ming court. Dong's mother read the good of the Ming Dynasty, her son read the book of sages, and the sages did not ask people to work hard for the foreign race, so she stood firmly by her son's side, and chose not to wear the Qing Dynasty and not to step on the Qing Dynasty like her son.

Under the persuasion of his mother, Dong Changqing finally set foot on the land that he had not stepped on for ten years, and went to Huizhou to join the army under the cover of the villagers. I don't want Hu Qili, the chief soldier of Huizhou, to pay no attention to this student who has a great reputation in his hometown, and he has no heart for talent, so he only sends Dong Changqing to be a clerk in the army at will, responsible for the calculation and expenditure of money and food.

This paperwork can be done by those who are literate, and even the guys in the store can do it, Hu Qili's arrangement is chilling. However, Dong Changqing did not dislike it, and did not feel resentful because of this, but did his ministry very seriously. Later, the Chaozhou Qing army attacked Huizhou, and Dong Changqing followed the team to Lufeng City. At the head of the city, he saw how the Chaozhou soldiers showed off their might, saw how the Huizhou army in the city was timid and afraid of war, and then he saw how the Chaozhou Qing army fled in despair, and how they were chased all the way to Chaozhou, all because of the Taiping army from Guangzhou, the Taiping army that beheaded Shang Kexi, killed Hahamu, and slaughtered the Taiping army all over the city.

Prince Qing Jian led the army to attack Lu Feng three times, when it was critical, Dong Changqing also went to the city to help the war despite his weak body, he didn't know how to kill people with a knife, but he knew how to move the big stone under the city to the city. The stone is very heavy, but Dong Changqing does not have much strength, it is very difficult to walk on the city road with his arms, and he has to stop to rest and breathe after walking two or three steps, but this is the case, he always gritted his teeth and persevered until he moved the stone to the city, turned his head and went down to help. When he saw the wounded soldiers, he could also step forward and help carry them with the people, at first, he couldn't see the blood, and vomited a few times, but then he got used to it.

Yu Shizhong, the brigade school in the second town, accidentally saw Dong Changqing dressed as a student, and was very surprised at the time, he had never seen a scholar working there like a young man, not too tired or dirty at all. Yu Shizhong asked Dong Changqing about the Huizhou officer, and there were Changning people in the army who immediately told Dong Changqing that he did not wear the Qing Dynasty and did not set foot on the Qing Dynasty.

Tie Yi himself is illiterate, but he knows that his handsome man is a showman, so he respects Xiucai very much, and after talking with Dong Changqing for a few words, he sees that he can deal with it easily, and he is not humble when ordinary scholars see him, and occasionally he can say a few words of opinion on the war, so he naturally appreciates it, so he asks him to serve as a staff officer in the town.

The Mongolian leader Aletta led his dolls to roast horse meat outside the city, drink wine and sing, no one in the city took the Taiping army seriously, Dong Changqing thought about it after seeing it, and the next day he found Tie Yi and proposed to send people out of the city to exchange military horses with the Mongols.

Tie Yi was surprised, the Mongols had horses to kill and eat, how could they exchange rice and noodles with the Taiping army. Dong Changqing said that the horse meat is actually inedible, it can't be cooked and digested, and if it is eaten for a long time, it will inevitably accumulate in the abdomen and cannot be discharged, and eventually swell to death. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" clearly states that horse meat is poisonous, smells bad, and cannot be discharged, so Mongolians easily do not eat horse meat, unless they are forced into a desperate situation. Obviously, the Mongols outside the city were in a desperate situation, otherwise they would not have killed horses to eat. This desperate person will not care about anything else if he can have something to eat, and if he has a choice, he will not be willing to be swelled to death.

With a skeptical attitude, Tie Yi agreed to the matter, but Dong Changqing said that the Mongols were really willing to exchange war horses for rice noodles, even if the exchange conditions were deducted to the extreme, the other party still gritted his teeth and recognized it.

After making two deals of rice noodles for war horses, Dong Changqing boldly proposed to take advantage of the situation to persuade the Mongol soldiers to surrender, and with the success of the last time, Tie Yi naturally would not object. Dong Changqing invited himself out of the city, in order to make himself more like a messenger to persuade surrender, he asked someone to make the clothes of Ming Dynasty officials, put them on his body and went out of the city. As a result, after some words, the Mongolian leader Alta was really willing to surrender, so that the Taiping army had three or four hundred Mongolian soldiers plus a few hundred war horses, which made Tie Yi happy and praised Dong Changqing as a god.

When Zhou Shixiang asked Tie Yi to report Dong Changqing's information, Tie Yi brought Dong Changqing's words with him by the way, which was "The Tartar soldiers have fallen into a desperate situation, you might as well attack them with your heart, and you can kill the whole army with the death of the chieftain, and the Tatar soldiers will kill the chieftain in order to survive, so the uncle can get thousands of Tatar soldiers to serve without much effort!"
