During the 30th year of Kangxi to the 31st year of Kangxi, the Guanzhong area of Xixi (Shaanxi) was in great drought for many years, and the people were extremely poor, although the Qing court ordered Gansu to support the nearby grain relief, but because the two provinces were pulling each other's skins, the grain was not delivered for a long time, and the people of Xixi were able to eat each other, and the miserable situation could not be repeated.

Shaanxi and Gansu provinces were the Qing court's tightly fortified areas second only to Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong provinces, so the starving people were soon suppressed by the swarming Qing army, but a small number of hungry people who fled into the Zhongnan Mountains broke through the Qing army's blockade and broke into southwest Henan, taking advantage of the opportunity of most of the Qing army in Henan to leave the province, and set off an anti-Qing struggle on the Hubei-Henan-Shaanxi border.
Thinking of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in those years, the Qing court was naturally terrified, and immediately mobilized the armies of various provinces to march into southwest Henan to suppress the peasant army. However, instead of exterminating the peasant army on the front line of Funiu Mountain and Bear's Ear Mountain in western Henan, the Qing court's army of purging and suppressing was even stronger.
Since it was impossible to achieve the set goal, the Qing court sacrificed the magic weapon of Zhao'an. During this period, the leaders of the peasant army such as Xu Guisan, Deng Fuwu, and Xiao Yisan laid down their arms one after another because of the high-ranking officials or because the Qing court promised to give the old and weak a way out, but there were also Feng Dalong, Cai Dace, Peng Dasheng and others who resolutely did not surrender to the Qing army, but held high the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, claiming to be the commander-in-chief, the commander, and the general continued to maneuver with the Qing army in the poor mountains and mountains.
In addition to the peasant rebellion in Shaanxi and Henan triggered by the hungry people in the narrow west, the remnants of Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Sun Yanling also launched dozens of large and small anti-Qing uprisings in the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guizhou and Hunan provinces, some of which were immediately broken by the local officials of the Qing court, and some were destroyed by the Qing court before the uprising due to the loss of secrets, and there were even successful examples of capturing Yuanjiang, Zhenyuan and other places and openly waving the banner of the Great Zhou. These uprisings, large and small, not only exhausted the Qing garrison, but also destroyed the financial foundation of the Qing court, and more importantly, made some Qing court officials and Green Banner generals think that it was necessary to speculate after the return of troubled times
"Do you mean that a merchant who came to trade said that he had been entrusted with a message to be told to the official?" Wu Qian, who was sitting behind the official hat chair and was struggling to write, heard this, and raised his head to look at it with a stunned face. "Do you know the details of this man? How did he know that he was on the island? ”
"The words of Lord Huifuyuan," the seven-rank civil official in a green robe replied with neither humility nor arrogance. "This person is the first merchant to come up after the opening of the ports in Dongchong, and he has traded back and forth several times, and the goods he brought are all urgently needed by the domain, so the people from the Department of Commerce will be introduced to the lower officials." Being able to cross the boundary wall set up by the Qing court and bring a large amount of goods is enough to prove that the other party has a strong backer at least on the side of the Qing court, and naturally becomes the best contact object for the staff department. "As for the other details, the lower officials will check again." The civilian paused. "Xia Guan also asked on the side, and found that he didn't know that the adult was on the island now, and he originally planned to go south to the south to Fuqing to find the adult, but it happened to meet by chance."
"It's a coincidence." Wu Qian naturally didn't believe it, but he wouldn't fight with a mere government. "Did this person say that there is a need to find the official, and why does he have to see the official? Isn't the name of the Overseer more famous? ”
The civil official in the green robe continued to respond quietly: "Xia Guan has also asked, but this person said that this matter is very important, except for the adults, the rest of the people are not allowed to hear about it, as for why it is not to find Lord Wu instead of looking for the Inspector, but because of the special care of the person who entrusted him to deliver the letter, it is said that the past and the Lord are the same. ”
"I guess I'm here to appease my official." The two brothers Wu Shu and Wu Qian don't look at the status of Dongning now, but his original identity was a general, so the so-called old naturally refers to the two of them in the Qing army back then. "Stand on the sidelines." Wu Qian, who suspected the messenger's intentions, of course wanted to avoid suspicion, and the best way was to let the people from the Military Law Department come to listen together, but at this moment, Wu Qian also had a choice, that is, to retain the people of the Ministry as witnesses. "Come, call this man up." Not long after, a middle-aged businessman walked into the small courtyard under the guidance of the guard, and when he stood firm under the corridor, Wu Qian asked directly. "You are Wu Jinhong? This official is Wu Qian, say it, what message do you want to preach. ”
The merchant was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect to see Wu Qian like this, he hesitated for a while, came back to his senses, and bowed: "The villain has seen Lord Fuyuan, and please ask Lord Fuyuan to retreat left and right, so that the villain can speak with confidence." ”
Wu Qian waved his hand, and the guards standing on both sides of the corridor retreated, but the official of the Ministry Division had just been told by Wu Qian, so he was still standing behind the side: "Don't look at it, this person is the confidant of this official, and he does not shy away from everything, if you have anything to say, if you still have doubts, please go back." ”
The merchant smiled awkwardly at the green-robed civil official, and then humbly said to Wu Qian: "The villain is entrusted by Cai Yuanshu, the chief soldier of Funing Town, to ask the lord a word, if Lord Cai leads his troops to return to the east, what kind of knightly position can the lord of the domain give?" ”
Cai Yuanshu wanted to vote for Ming Zheng, but this earth-shattering news made Wu Qian's face change suddenly, and the green-robed civil official on his side was even more unbearable and rushed forward for as much as half a step before he stopped his footsteps.
After a long time, Wu Qian spoke: "Cai Yuanshu, but he is an old friend, but the matter is serious, and the official can't accept it for a while, so he has to make it clear to the Lord before he can reply truthfully." ”
The merchant nodded clearly, but before he could speak, Wu Qian said again: "Brother Hongyi can return with righteousness, this official is not very happy, but I think that the Tartars are afraid of the officers and soldiers of the Green Banner, if they do not act secretly, there will be unforeseen disasters, so this official is willing to send a person to contact this matter, I don't know if Cai Zhen can accept it." ”
"Please rest assured." The merchant bowed his head knowingly. "The little one must tell Mr. Cai the original words."
"Good." Wu Qian swept the blue-robed civil official with the afterglow of his eyes. "Master Xie, Wu Chaofeng has also worked hard to come and go, and you will give him an extra hundred stones of refined salt as a reward." The person from the staff department immediately responded, looking at the middle-aged businessman who was red because he had received an extra reward, Wu Qian said again. "This time I acted in a hurry, and next time I will ask Wu Chaofeng to bring a token"
After sending away the merchant surnamed Wu, Xie Chengzheng immediately asked: "My lord thinks that this person is not credible, so why do you want to give salt?"
"Wu Qian's handling is right, there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that this kind of thing will have to be caught, once this Cai Yuanshu can really be attached, it will not just be as simple as shaking the world." Looking at the report in his hand, Zheng Kezhang said to Ke Ping, Zheng Yingping, Lin Liangrui, Cai Ji and other political councilors. "It can be compared with Hong Chengchou's surrender to the Qing Dynasty back then."
"The Lord said very well, as long as there is an example at the beginning, I want it to come from someone who follows up." Ke Ping was also excited. "And once Funing Town changes banners, the door of Fuzhou will be opened, and the unfinished business of the former king will be completed just around the corner."
"However, although Cai Yuanshu intends to be attached, the asking price may not be lower." Zheng Yingping and Zheng Bin are a little different, although they are both Zheng family, but he is obviously less taboo than Zheng Bin. "But if you agree to it all, how will these generals under the army of this domain deal with themselves."
This is a problem, Zheng Kezhang also did not want to have a situation where the early revolution is not as good as the late revolution, and the late revolution is not as good as the counterrevolution, so he thought about it: "How to deal with this matter is still to be handed over to the court trial and the ceremonial department for discussion, only one, if you want a title, the earl and the marquis have no problem, but they can only go to the South China Sea to establish a state like the Marquis of Labuan; If you don't want the title and want the strength in your hands, then you can give the name of the deputy chief military officer, and lead one or two towns of soldiers and horses according to the military system of the domain, as the general of the front. ”
Now that Zheng Kezhang has made a final decision, the few auxiliary ministers naturally don't say much, and the topic naturally turns to the next item: "Lord, Zheng Jianguo's youngest son is an adult, and he wants to pass on this branch to King Liaojing, I don't know what the lord's opinion is on this?" ”
"Zheng Jianguo is very calculating," Zheng Kezhang suddenly laughed, this matter said that Zhu Youge is not too much to make a small calculation, you must know that not long ago, Zhu Shugui was posthumously promoted to the king of Liao, and his nickname was changed to the king of Liaojing, and now he can't wait to pass on his son, obviously because he wants to take the big sect in the Ming clan in Liao. "But what's the point of fighting."
When these words came out, the eyes of several subordinates were staring at Zheng Kezang's face at the same time, but Zheng Kezhang was suddenly unaware of this: "If this domain also wants to ask for a king's name, which one should I want?" Grandfather's King Zhang? King Min? King Yue? King of Minyue? A few secretaries said that Lone should be the right country name. ”
"What does the Lord mean?" Lin Liangrui's brows tightened. "King now?"
"Of course not, build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down kingship." Zheng Kezhang laughed. "Lone means that if you don't recover half of the south of the Yangtze River, what kind of face will Lone have to receive the king's name. However, the domain's all-out expedition to the west was only a matter of two or three years, so it was not out of the ordinary to plan ahead and plan ahead. ”
As soon as Zheng Kezhang finished speaking, Lin Liangrui exhorted in a fierce tone: "Lord, soldiers are a major matter of the country, and the success or failure of the Western Expedition is related to the success or failure of the domain, how can the Lord use this mentality." ”
Zheng Kezang's face froze, and he couldn't help but shake his head: "Lin Qing said it seriously, loneliness is just child's play, why bother"
Lin Liangrui immediately stepped up again: "The Lord's words and deeds are related to the Ming Dynasty, how can he be called a child's joke." ”
"Okay, good, it's Lonely's fault." Zheng Kezhang had to keep a straight face and look at the several important ministers in front of him. "But sooner or later, the name of the country will also ask the ministers to think about it, but it must not be passed on to the general, which will ruin the great cause of the Western Expedition."
"How should Zheng Jianguo reply?"
Zheng Kezang's face turned cold: "The king of Badong is still in the lineage, and the sect of the Liao State is flawless, it seems inappropriate to directly inherit the title of the king of Liao, but you can inherit the prince of Ningjing first." ”
"Wait for you to understand!"
