On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after worshipping his ancestors, Song Chongxiao, the owner of the Song Pavilion on Bosi Street in the city, reported to his sixty-year-old father with an excited face: "Dad, good news, the official army has driven to the city of Ningbo, and the days of sea rebellion are numbered. (Like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)"

Although the Zheng army did not forcibly take the people to the sea in eastern Zhejiang, it lured a tenant to take advantage of it, so it greatly damaged the interests of the large households, not to mention that the Zheng army ruthlessly suppressed the "captive" gentry, which put the owners of a dry field in danger.

"Don't rejoice too soon." Mrs. Song narrowed his eyes and pointed at his son's attitude. "The so-called dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and the poor rat retaliates, the more this time is, the more you have to press your temperament and watch coldly." Mrs. Song took a sip of his hookah. "Besides, is it necessarily a good thing for the officers and soldiers to enter the city? It is necessary to check whether there is any reversal, and it is necessary to raise some rewards. Looking at Song Chongxiao, who looked stunned, Mrs. Song sighed slightly. And what if the sea is going to defend Ningbo? ”

Ningbo city wall was first built in the Tang Dynasty, but it was destroyed in the hands of the Mongolian cavalry and the new annexed army in the south at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, until the sixth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1373), only by the command of Ming Zhouwei to make Feng Lin build the new city, and then repaired several times, to the Jiajing period only formed the city wall two and a half zhang high, the base width of two zhang two, the upper width of one and a half zhang, the circumference of two thousand two hundred and fifteen zhang, the pattern of extending eighteen miles. Today's Ningbo City has a total of six gates, the east city is the Lingqiao Gate, the Dongdu Gate, the south is the Changchun Gate, the west is expected to be the Beijing Gate, the north has the Yongfeng Gate, the northeast has the Heyi Gate, and the suspension bridge is set up in the west and the south two gates. There are 46 enemy towers in the city, 3,564 pheasant stacks, 65 police shops, and the city with the water system of Fenghua River, Yuyao River, and Yongjiang River as the main body is 2,487 zhang from north to south ring city. Looking at these numbers, it will be clear how much it costs to capture such a strong city, and it is not because the Qing army was not strong enough to defend the army because of the main force of the Zheng army, otherwise the Zheng army would never have succeeded lightly.

Song Chongxiao couldn't help but twitch for a while when he thought that the whole of Ningbo had turned into a battlefield and turned into a sea of fire, and then he asked his old father for advice: "Dad, then watch the sea reverse beat Ningbo to pieces?" ”

As soon as Song Chongxiao's words were finished, he suddenly received a slap on the face from Mrs. Song, covering his hot face, Song Chongxiao looked at the angry old man for some reason, and then understood something, and knelt on the ground with a bang: "Dad, it's my son who is stupid and doesn't know what to do, and I ask you to explain one or two, but on the first day of the first lunar month, you must not get angry." ”

"You also know that you are stupid, so what are you doing with the Gu family and the Qi family?" Mrs. Song said coldly, leaning back on the Taishi's chair. "What are you watching the sea reverse beat Ningbo to pieces, is this kind of thing you can say? Is the major military affairs that the Song family can participate in? I don't know how thick the sky is. ”

Before Mrs. Song's words landed, there was a commotion outside, and Song Chongxiao's second brother Song Chongyou rushed in, and he didn't care about the head of the family who was kneeling on the ground, so he only shouted directly to the old man: "Dad, it's not good, Hai Reverse is in Dasuo City, it is said that the big households on Front Street, Fuqian Street and Confucian Temple Street have been raided, and now the brigade is coming towards Bosi Street in the city." ”

Suddenly, Song Chongyou heard the sound of two rows of teeth hitting up and down, and he looked back in surprise, only to find Song Chongxiao kneeling there: "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Useless stuff!" Song Taigong's face sank. "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided, it's come to this, what are you panicking about?"

"Is it you, big brother?" Song Chongyou looked at Song Chongxiao dumbfounded. "Woe to you, woe to you"

Song Chongyou was beating his chest and paused, and the steward of the Song family said outside the house: "The old man, the eldest master, the second master, there are officials outside the door who ask to see you." ”

My dear? Not officers and soldiers! Song Taigong's face relaxed, and he pointed to Song Chongyou on the side: "Second brother, go and say hello." ”

After a while, Song Chongyou walked back with a strange expression: "Dad, big brother, it's okay, Hai Reverse is telling us not to go out, so as not to be arrested as a chaotic party, and it seems that we will not be implicated for the time being." ”

But to Song Chongyou's surprise, Song Taigong's face was like ashes: "Today's sea rebellion did not arrest us, but as soon as the officers and soldiers come, they may not treat us as the same party as the sea rebel with today's events." ”

As soon as these words came out, a trace of relief on the faces of the two Song brothers suddenly condensed: "The court has always been sage"

"It's okay to say this nonsense to the fools," Song Chongxiao interrupted Song Chongyou. "Doesn't the second brother know the real situation? There is a saying that no one in the court is not an official, and no one in the official is not rich, and a mere official can knock you out on the bone and suck the marrow, if you are accused of rebellion, the red-eyed official will be ready to pounce on you early in the morning and share you. ”

Song Taigong sighed: "The boss is right, a lawsuit to divide the family can completely destroy the hundred-year-old family, not to mention such a big case as rebellion, how much silver can our Song family have to fill this hole." ”

"Isn't there a way?" Song Chongyou will also be skeptical. "Maybe we're scaring ourselves"

"Maybe, but Qiongzhou" Speaking of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the flow of information was not very fast, coupled with the deliberate blockade of the Manchu government, what happened in Qiongzhou was actually not widely circulated, but this kind of not widely aimed at the lower class of people, who did not have their own sources. "What a lesson from the past."

"The sea is a vicious method." Song Chongyou's mind suddenly became clear. "This is obviously forcing us to go to Dongning with us." What can you do if you see through it? "If anyone can't see through and doesn't want to go, they will borrow the knife of the government to kill people, and this corrupt official is also willing to be used by the sea rebellion, this, this is really a snake and rat family!"

"Of course, there's another way." Mrs. Song looked at the two sons in front of him and sighed. "It's been a year for my father, and I've lived enough." Song Chongxiao and Song Chongyou looked at their old father in shock. "As long as it is rumored that Hai Rebellion has forced the old man to death, if you want to come to the government, you can't find an excuse to attack the Song family."

"Dad, I can't," Song Chongxiao said with horror. "How can my father have such a mind, and when he spreads it, he will say that his sons are unfilial." Song Chongxiao hugged Song Taigong's feet. "This incident was caused by the son, and the son was willing to die by himself, and begged his father to dispel (the desire for death)."

"Yes, Dad," Song Chongyou also persuaded. "Hai Reverse just forced us to move to Dongning, then it's good to go, although it's a pity that the ancestral industry is lost, but look at the current situation, Hai Reverse may not be able to succeed, maybe in the future, our Song family will also be blessed by misfortune and become a generation of dragons, and there will be a day to recover the family business, why rush to make this decision."

"The old man is already in the sixtieth year, what are you going to do when you leave your hometown and go to Dongning?" Song Taigong has made up his mind. "You are all filial children, as long as you continue the Song family's incense, your father will be satisfied." Speaking of this, Song Taigong solemnly confessed his last words. "No matter whether the sea is against the tide or the Qing court continues to rule the world, my descendants of the Song family are not allowed to go out."

Song Chongxiao and Song Chongyou immediately burst into tears, hearing the cry of the two of them, the rest of the Song family heard the news, and when they learned that the old man was going to drink dove wine, the cry suddenly rose to the sky, and the joy of the first day of the first month suddenly turned into a miserable rain

"One hundred volumes of "Important Categories", seven volumes of "Seven Political Pushes", one volume of "Fengshan Quotations", and six volumes of "Shuyi Shishi"

With a series of announcements, books, sets, rare books, and rare books were taken out of Tianyi Pavilion, carefully placed into a closed box, and then sealed and then packed into larger barrels, loaded and transported away.

Seeing that the classics that the ancestors had worked so hard to preserve were snatched away, the people of the Fan clan around them cried, for this miserable scene, Zheng Jun's military officer Xue An, who was in charge of the rush transportation task, showed a little unbearable on his face, but Zheng Kezhang explained clearly that these things must not be kept under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, so he could only take a blind attitude.

The sun sets very quickly in winter, and before the unitary time, the torches around Tianyi Pavilion have been lit, illuminating the entire courtyard. At this time, the soldiers on the mission had already changed, but the inventory and transportation were still continuing, and it was obvious that the Zheng army wanted to complete this qiē in the shortest possible time, so as not to leave any regrets after the Qing army attacked the city.

"Where did the six volumes of the Book of Doubts go? There are also eight volumes of "Taibai Yin Sutra", twelve volumes of "Zhou Gongju Explanation", and one volume of "Chu's Testament". "The moment the sky turned white, Xue An, with a tired face, re-found the Fan family, who had also been sleepless all night." One volume of "Huailutang Poems", six volumes of "Zhong Lu Tong Examination", and forty volumes of "Ten Gentlemen's Mysteries", these are all gone, not to mention that others borrowed them, and took them out honestly, otherwise Hugh blamed the official for not giving the Fan family face. ”

"100,000 books have been taken away, and what are you talking about to give the Fan family face." The person who responded was arrogant. "Kill if you want"

"What are you doing with so much nonsense." Xue An gestured slightly, and the two Zheng Jun on the side talked about it with the butt of a gun, and immediately knocked out the person who replied. "It's okay if you don't give it, come here, escort all the Fan family onto the ship, and only send them directly to Dongning."

The crying voice suddenly rose, and at this time, Xue An suddenly came out with this sentence: "What are you crying for, don't you want to go to Dongning to guard these books?" Sure enough, what a loyal and filial descendant. ”

The contemporary owner of Tianyi Pavilion stood up tremblingly: "When we arrive in Dongning, will these books be returned to our Fan family?" ”

"Give it back to you?" Xue An burst out laughing. "Of course, I want to return it to you, but before returning it to you, the Lord must copy and engrave these rare books as much as possible, and the obtained books can only be returned to you after they are included in the Guozijian and the county school libraries in various places.

The face of the owner of Tianyi Pavilion slowly slowed down: "The ancestral Xun Dynasty does not divide the book, and the book does not come out of the pavilion, but now that the book has been out of the pavilion, my descendants of the Fan family naturally can't watch it damage anymore, okay, each room now go back to pack up and return the books that were taken, and tomorrow, I will go with Dongning's boat."
