Chapter 21 - Counting Zheng Chenggong
In Su Mala's gentle embrace and careful tuning, the second brother's "Chinese [1]" made rapid progress, and in less than a month, he was able to play a simple duet in Manchu, which not only made Su Mala breathtaking, but also spread as a beautiful talk in the palace, and even the emperor couldn't hold back the curiosity of a sixteen-year-old boy for a while, and personally drove the East Second Institute to take a look, and Manchu asked: "What are you doing?" Hongyi thought about it while playing with the toy, and didn't want to say anything like "level the world like you" now, so as not to scare him, so he replied in Manchu: "Study hard, xiangshang every day!" Fu Lin was amazed, but he thought that when he was six years old, he faced a table full of Han songs but did not know why, and suddenly his face sank and he walked away. Choked Hongyi could only say secretly in his heart: "Jealous and jealous child!" ”
In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival in the eleventh year of Shunzhi arrived, and the palace was full of lights and joy. Because it was not a cow, a dragon, a sheep, or a dog for the past four years, the emperor did not have to go to the Moon Temple to worship in person, but just send important ministers to sacrifice on his behalf. On the top of the moon, the queen mother and Fulin led the concubines and two princes and two princesses, after worshipping the moon god in Cining Palace, the family began to enjoy the moon with wine. Hongyi naturally can't let go of this opportunity, often after saying a word or two, he sacrifices his "one trick fresh", clamoring to hug it, and brings this ** beauty closer! "Xiao Ai, I'm working, okay, this is called the mass base, right, don't think about it!" Hongyi is very good at finding the stairs for himself!
After a long time of excitement, seeing Fulin sitting there drinking stuffy wine, the queen Borzigit on the side was also careful but did not say a word, the queen mother finally spoke: "Emperor, you ate the crab roe in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, why don't you move it tonight?" Fu Lin's face turned red, knowing that she was talking about eating crabs in the competition with Eleven Baylor's Fujin Dong E's clan last year, and then said in general, "Huang Eniang, Erchen is a little tired tonight, and I want to go back to watch a few more twists and turns, so the matter of recruiting an army of the southeast Zheng clan still needs to be arranged......"
"Oh, didn't Zheng Du and Zheng Yin, the sons of Zheng Zhilong, also go with Anhou Zheng Zhilong, will it be a futility this time?" The queen mother had no intention of letting her son go, but she changed her previous practice of not getting involved in court politics and continued to ask.
"Erchen has indeed sent the two of them to go, but Zheng Zhilong wrote to Chen Zuo, saying that this time Zhao'an, his son Zheng Sen [2] may not give in! Alas! Fu Lin was also a little annoyed.
"I heard that Ming Yongli sent someone to Quanzhou last month and named him the king of Yanping?"
"Exactly, Erchen canonized him as the Duke of Haicheng last year, and he insisted on refusing to grant it, but he wanted to be the king of Yanping of the dead Ming! Erchen ......"
"Let go of Anhou!" Hongyi grabbed a piece of "pollution-free and natural" handmade mooncakes in one hand, and a half-pulled crab stuffed with crab roe in the other, but did not rush to stuff it into his mouth, but shouted clearly. This shout frightened all the concubines and palace people. The emperor and the queen mother discuss politics, although you are a prince, you are still a little child less than half a year old, what are you talking about! Suddenly, Concubine Kang was so frightened that she took a step forward, "caught" her son, and knelt on the ground together. "Please atone for the emperor's sins, the concubines are negligent in disciplining...... "Okay, the Pu family, the Sun family, Xiao Gongzi and others present all have a share, so kneel down collectively."
Fu Lin didn't have an immediate seizure, but turned to his youngest son and said with a pleasant face: "Second elder brother, what did you just say?" In fact, he has long been very concerned about the performance of the queen mother since the Taimiao sacrifice, and he is a little "envious, jealous and hateful" for this little son who was born with "great wisdom".
The queen mother is also nervous, although the second elder brother is talented and intelligent, he can be a god, but after all, he is less than half a year old, if this is wrong, he will give up his previous efforts. So he hurriedly said, "The yellow-mouthed boy is talking nonsense casually, what does the emperor do to him!" ”
Hearing the emperor's question, Hongyi hurriedly crawled to the queen mother's leg (at this time, it is definitely not that he is modest and weak, but that Hongyi really can't leave!) After Huang Ma Ma took himself into his arms and achieved a position equal to Huang Ama, he "giggled" and began to answer in a language similar to the popular version of "Qing Zi [3]"!
"Zheng Sen is outside ~ his father is inside ~ he will not fall for a day ~ his father is safe!" [4]
It's everyone's turn to be surprised, isn't it? Fu Lin was also surprised, but he was too surprised to show it, and continued to ask: "The emperor is right! Hehe, what do you say? ”
"Zhangzhou surrendered to the humerus ~ for its humerus ~ sealed his father ~ sent him back ~" Looking at the emperor's surprised eyes, Hongyi continued: "Xu Yi Taiwan ~ ordered his world to guard ~ the son of the world ~ divided into zero! ”
Shunzhi was stunned, thought for a long time, nodded in approval, and then said: "There is another place in this matter, Zheng Chenggong swears not to shave his hair and grow braids!" He didn't realize that this question was tantamount to acknowledging Xiao Hongyi's strategy and status, and the two began to discuss the country!
"The Zheng family does not shave~ All officials must shave~ The imperial court sends members~ Xiang manages political affairs!" Hongyi finally finished speaking, no longer caring about the emperor's expression, and began to feast in the arms of the queen mother, causing the eldest brother Fuquan to want this and that, but the eldest daughter of the emperor on the side made her cry.
The Empress Dowager also came back to her senses in the midst of this noise, and said to Fu Lin: "Emperor, whether this policy is feasible or not, you can make a decision after consulting with all the ministers of the king and the important ministers!" At the same time, he hugged Hongyi tighter, and kissed him on the head!
"Erchen has written it down!" The emperor was also in a trance, if he hadn't seen and heard it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have dared to believe that his second elder brother would have such a scheming after killing him!
"Today's matter, you all listen to it, if anyone leaks the slightest rumor, don't blame the mourning family for killing! My imperial grandson, but here obediently eating moon cakes, not saying anything, not doing anything! The queen mother's face suddenly sank, and she announced loudly to many daughters-in-law and palace maids and eunuchs.
"Concubines (slaves, slaves) obey the order!" Everyone praised in their mouths, and knelt down in front of the three people - the queen mother, the emperor, and the second elder brother in the arms of the queen mother!
Ten days later, a fast horse galloped to Zhangzhou, gave a copy of the emperor's edict directly to a small general in Zhangzhou City, and took his family and entered the imperial city to support. The next day, the Zhangzhou guard somehow hung the general on a tree and jerked it, but fortunately, the generals persuaded him, which spared his life. A few months later, in November of the 11th year of Shunzhi, Zheng Sen besieged Zhangzhou, and Zhangzhou led Zheng into the city on the night of the first day of December, and forced Zhang Shiyao, the defender of Zhangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, to surrender to Zheng. The imperial court immediately sent troops to suppress it, but it was defeated. Liu Guoxuan faced Zheng Chenggong's interrogation and told the "truth": because he was afraid that King Yanping would besiege the city, he sent his family out of the city in advance, but Zhang Shiyao learned about it, and under the heavy punishment, he rebelled. Zheng Sen sent people out of the city to search, and indeed found the remains of a family of more than a dozen, seeing Liu Guoxuan crying and fainting on the ground, this was his trust, and granted Liu Guoxuan the governor of the matter, in charge of guarding the town, and soon, he was promoted to the right tiger guard with the conscription camp Zhengbing Town, which made him enter the core of the Zheng Group......
Thousands of miles away from the court, on the first day of September in the eleventh year of Shunzhi, after half a month of argument and compromise, the court finally issued an order, with the Marquis of An, Zheng Zhilong, into the king of Tong'an, his son Zheng Sen canonized the king of Haicheng, Xu his generation of Yongzhen Taiwan, the soldiers under his command, incorporated into the Han Eight Banners, before the platform, temporarily stationed in a government (Quanzhou) to place soldiers. The edict also said, "Although the Zheng father and son are old generals of the former Ming Dynasty, they are also loyal to the monarch and the lord, which can be commended." After the return of King Tong'an, King Rui (Dorgon) had him guard against him, regardless of the kindness of his relatives, so that his children were suspicious and turned against him. I also think that Zheng Zhilong has been obedient for a long time, and his son is my child, Zheng Sen, the son of Zhilong, a filial son and benevolent, afraid that his father will be hostage in the court and will not be lowered, how can he endure the repetition of the conquest, now the father and son are the kings of the same dynasty, and they are allowed to live together in Quanzhou, and they can also enjoy the family of "father and son filial piety". When the edict arrives, if the king of Haicheng surrenders, he does not have to come to the court, and he will guard and train troops on the spot. If you don't surrender, you can also kill your father and rebel, but take advantage of the rebellion [6], and the king will rest and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman. If so, the Manchu and Han Eight Banners do not have to be pursued immediately, but should be the same enemy, and when the treasure island of Taiwan is recovered and the Western Tatars are expelled, the Chinese soldiers can line up to face each other and compete with each other! …… King Haicheng thought that the moat could not be crossed, and the whip was not enough to cut off the stream? No, it is actually the trouble of the Western Tatars who humiliated the country first, and the disaster of their own brother Ni Wall came later! In vain, we will take the same revenge with the thin sea, and we will uphold justice. The husband is full of China's control of Huangchi, and wants to support China with a corner of the left side of the river, and the number of victories and defeats is not waiting for yarrow! The kings under the command of King Haicheng know their fate when they know their fate, remember the old master, love the virtuous king, and should persuade them to return to the domain, and they will be blessed forever. The court should treat Yu Bin, inherit gifts, lead mountains and rivers, and sit on the princes and princes, so as to live up to the original intention of the court to seek righteousness and beg for thieves, and to rise and destroy. To Nanzhou Zhuyan, Pianran came to Yi, then the Marquis of Ergonger, the lord divided the land, and there was a classic example of Pingxi. [7] This edict of pacification is more sincere and resolute than the edict issued on the ninth day of October at the beginning of the ninth year of Shunzhi's reign in history.
On the same day, Emperor Shunzhi and Zheng Zhilong, the king of Tong'an, led the Manchu and Han ministers to climb the coal mountain [8] to worship the late Ming Emperor Chongzhen, and the sacrificial text [9] said: "The enmity of the husband and the father is not shared with the sky." The righteousness of "Spring and Autumn", if there is a thief who does not ask for it, then the king is not allowed to be buried, and the new monarch is not allowed to take the throne, so the law is strict to prevent chaos and thieves. The thief Li Zicheng is called a soldier and a murderer, and his hands are poisonous; The subjects of Kannai[10] did not listen to the last arrow. Wu Sanguijie, the king of Pingxi, was in the east, and he cried alone. The court felt its loyalty, remembered the good stay of the world, abandoned the small suspicions of the recent days, loved to rectify Pixiu, and drove away dogs and mice. On the day of entering Beijing, the first to worship Emperor Huaizong, the name of the queen, and bury the mountain mausoleum, all like a ceremony. Relatives, county kings, and generals below, one is still sealed, and no changes are made; The ministers, the civil and military ministers, the salty in the court, are gracious. The ploughing market is not alarmed, and there is no crime in autumn. …… Therefore, the death of the Ming Dynasty was not the death of the Qing Dynasty; The succession of the Qing Dynasty was followed by the Mandate of Heaven and public opinion, not from the Ming Dynasty. …… The thief destroyed the temple master of the Ming Dynasty and humiliated the ancestors. Foreigners are not afraid of the labor of requisition, and they are ashamed to ask for their endowments. Outside Shanhaiguan, it is solid for China, and the people of Manchuria originated from the Shang and Zhou dynasties; Same root and same species, different customs, China is unified, and the whole world is the master! The Qing Dynasty was a Ming minister, the Ming Dynasty was also a Yuan Min, the Ming and Qing dynasties followed, and China is sustainable! Yunyun ...... "As soon as this article came out, those remnants of the Ming Dynasty all wept bitterly, some were moved, and some were sad and indignant, but more were shocked and thoughtful, including Zheng Sen who was far away in Fujian.
After worshipping Chongzhen, Emperor Shunzhi had a long talk with Zheng Zhilong in the reign of Yugong, the content is unknown, it is said that the little prince was led by Su Mala to ask the emperor for peace, and played in the palace for a long time......
After more than a month, on September 30, Emperor Shunzhi personally sent Zheng Zhilong outside the Daqing Gate, the monarchs and ministers wept goodbye, and the king of An galloped three miles, the emperor did not leave an inch, the king stopped the horse, and the inner supervisor said: "Brother Wang can return (rebellion)!" Zheng Zhilong cried and worshiped under the horse, swore in blood, and said: "The minister is here, never return, Yongzhen Taiwan is the gateway to the southeast of my Qing Dynasty!" "The strange thing is that the king of Tong'an and his entourage went south very calmly, and there was no urgency for the birds to get out of the cage and the fish to return to the sea. The accompanying guards also escorted a group of prisoners. After many years, the world knew that these prisoners were the first evil people who humiliated Zheng Sen's mother, Tian Chuan, after the Qing army captured Zheng Sen's hometown of Nan'an County, Fujian! Soon, there was a quiet legend in the market, from the sacrificial text, to the emperor's meaningful farewell words, to Zheng Zhilong's calmness, it was all from the hand of the little prince who was born in Miyagi!
The vast majority of people did not know that under the insistence, crying, persuasion, and threats of the little prince, the empress dowager finally compromised and quietly sent someone to write a secret letter to Qin Shizhen, the governor of Zhejiang at the time, asking him to ask the imperial court to build more warships and select sailors along the coast of Zhejiang, one to contain Zheng's sailors, and the other to prepare for the eastward expedition to Taiwan; At the same time, it is necessary to take another sparse line, saying that the coastal fishing boats, please follow the law of protecting the armor, take 25 boats as a team, listen to the fishing without anything, and help defend the defense if there is something to do. This method, the second elder brother Hongyi called it a "maritime militia", which was praised by the queen mother. How did she know that on April 8, 2013, shortly after China's new leader took office, he went to Tanmen Town, Qionghai City, Hainan Province to visit the Maritime Militia Company. After hearing about the touching deeds of the fishermen in defending their maritime rights and interests, he said, "I am very touched, you are all good. The party and the government will show further concern for you. He told everyone to pay attention to the safety of going to sea, and wished everyone a smooth fishing trip, more fish, and big fish (sincerely praise one!). )。 Hongyi: This is just learning and using! Later, Qin Shizhen's performance, under the instruction of the empress dowager, was quickly approved by the imperial court.
At the same time, the secret letter also mentioned a six-year-old child surnamed Dai, whose father was an official, worked in the equipment manufacturing office, and now lives in Renhe, Zhejiang. only ordered Qin Shizhen to secretly investigate, and after finding it, he didn't have to report it, nor did he disturb it without authorization, but he was accommodating and preserved, let it develop, and wait for the edict from the emperor......
Looking at the puzzled look of the Queen Mother after sending the letter, Hongyi smiled but did not answer. He knew that he had passed through this matter, and the more mysterious he was about these superiors, the better it would be for him, and it would be useless to say more! He only prayed silently in his heart: "Dai Zi[11] Ah Dai Zi, I hope my crossing will not affect your interests and hobbies!" Study hard and grow up quickly, for you, the people of the motherland have high hopes! ”
Hongyi is there to eat mooncakes, and tomorrow is also the Mid-Autumn Festival! I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Works well! Family happiness! Change the world! Good luck!
[1] The Qing Dynasty adopted Manchurian as its Chinese language.
[2] That is, Zheng Chenggong, born in Chirihama, Hirado City, Japan, with the young name Fumatsu (Japanese name), his father Zheng Zhilong, his mother Hirado Ichikawa, Nagasaki, Japan, Ming Chongzhen for three years, and Chenggong was seven years old. At the age of fifteen, he entered Nan'an County to study, and at the age of twenty-one, he entered the Nanjing Guozijian and took the word Damu. Because Emperor Meng Longwu gave the Ming Dynasty the surname Zhu, the name was successful, and he was named Ming Yan, known as the "national surname Ye", and because of the Emperor Mengyongli named the king of Yanping, he was called "Zheng Yanping". The implication of success is Kuang Fu Daming, it is estimated that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty will not call him Zheng Chenggong!
[3] Qingci, also known as Qingci and Green Chapter, was originally a blessing to the heavens when Taoism held a Jiao ceremony. It is generally written on green rattan paper with red pigment. It is required that the form is neat and the text is gorgeous. During the reign of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, because Emperor Jiajing loved green words, those who were good at writing green words could be reused. According to the statistics of the "Ming History and Zaifu Chronology", after the seventeenth year of Jiajing, 9 of the 14 auxiliary ministers in the cabinet started by writing Qingzi (the famous ones are Xia Yan, Yan Song and his sons Yan Shifan, Xu Jie, etc.).
[4] The official history records: In 1654 (the eighth year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty and the eleventh year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty), in the second lunar month, the Qing court sent another envoy to Zheng Chenggong, promising to give the four counties of Xing, Quan, Zhang, and Chao as fiefs; Zheng Chenggong refused again on the grounds that "there are many soldiers and horses, and there are not enough provinces to place them". In August, the Qing sent envoys to the council; Zheng Chenggong's brothers Zheng Du and Zheng Yin were also among the envoys. Zheng Chenggong said that "the Qing Dynasty has no sincerity", and said, "I have not been edicted for a day, and my father will be glorified in the court for a day", and once again rejected the conditions put forward by the Qing Dynasty.
[5] Liu Guoxuan, the word sightseeing, the second year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty (1629), was born in Caikeng, Xikou, Sidu, Changting. The Ming season was turbulent, and Liu Guoxuan was famous for his wisdom in the early years. In 1644, the soldiers affected Liu Guoxuan's hometown, the villagers formed a village to protect themselves, Liu Guoxuan had offered an ambush plan, and personally commanded the villagers to destroy the enemy who disturbed the people, and slightly declared his general's talent, at this time he was only 15 years old. In August 1683, after Liu Guoxuan persuaded Zheng Keshuang and his subordinates, he immediately ordered the revision of the table to be submitted to the Qing Dynasty, realizing the reunification of Taiwan and the mainland of the motherland. Emperor Kangxi praised him for his meritorious service, awarded him the title of Tianjin Guard, and entrusted him with the important task of guarding the gate of Gyeonggi. Liu Guoxuan served in Tianjin, built water conservancy, rewarded agriculture, and advocated culture and education, and died of illness in Tianjin in 1693 at the age of 65. Emperor Kangxi posthumously presented him with the title of Guanglu doctor and prince Shaobao, and gave him a burial in Sujiakou, Shuntianfu.
[6] Execution: Delay the period of being crusaded and killed.
[7] In the official history, on the ninth day of October in the ninth year of Shunzhi (1652), the fifteen-year-old boy Son of Heaven issued a very important edict to Liu Qingtai, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian. The full text of the edict is as follows: "Recently, Haikou Zheng Chenggong and others have repeatedly harassed coastal counties and counties, and they should have been cut off. But I thought that in the past, the soldiers went to Fujian, and Yi's father Zheng Zhilong was the first to surrender, and his children could not bear to abandon their father and brother, and were willing to rebel, which must be inconsiderate and perverse, although Zheng Chenggong and others had a heart, there was no way to reach it, and after seeing that Yi's father was obedient, King Rui asked people to guard and take precautions, and regardless of what kind of favor his relatives had made, so that he was afraid of success. I also thought that Zheng Zhilong has been returning to Shun for a long time, and his children are my sons, how can he endure the repetition of the conquest, if he succeeds and waits for the return, he can use it at sea, why go to Beijing, and now I have ordered Zheng Zhilong to write a book, announcing my sincerity, and sending people to the success of the message and my brother Zheng Hongkui and others to know, if they are obsessed, they will go to suppress. For example, Zhilong's family replied to Fujian, Chenggong, Hongkui, and other fruits had a conscience and repented of their sins, and then they reported on the one hand, and sent one or two talented officials to the other side to examine the truth of the submission, and promised to forgive the sins and confer officials, listen to the place where they lived, and did not have to go to Beijing. This is the best way to treat the minister of sincerity, and you should be open and sincere, so that he is pleased, and still carefully observe, do not fall into cunning.
