Haidian Town, Wangjiazhuang.

"Vocational Dao Wang Zhongxiao see Zhu Futai!"

Wang Zhongxiao heard that Zhu Guozhi had brought Li Yan and Chen Shikai to drink the wedding wine, so he hurriedly suspended the secret meeting, and then took Master Yu, Wang An, and Wang Quan to greet him outside the gate.

This Zhu Guozhi is very famous!

Wang Zhongxiao never thought that this "Qing Dynasty loyal martyr" did not go to Yunnan to die in his life, but came to Guangdong to die!

But now is not the time to take his life, so the salute must be performed!

Zhu Guozhi smiled and stepped forward to help Wang Zhongxiao, who was making a gesture to him, and said with a smile: "Shikai. What are you polite to me? Your customs road is the lack of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not the lack of Guangdong, I can't control you, and Ling Ama is still the governor of Liangguang, and he is my top boss! ”

"Futai, you really see the outside world when you say this," Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "I, the Guangdong Customs, are not allowed to open on the territory of Xiangshan County?" Xiangshan County is not the territory of Guangdong Province? If you don't nod your head, there is no place for the lowly yamen to open! ”

"Look at what you said," Zhu Guozhi said with a smile, "can I still stop you from opening a yamen?" ”

Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile: "What you want is not just a piece of land to open a yamen!" ”

"What do you want?" Zhu Guozhi asked with interest.

"This is not the place to talk," Wang Zhongxiao said and arched his hand towards Li Yan and Chen Shikai, "Li Junmen, Chen Zongzhen, let's talk inside!" ”

The admiral is from the first grade, and the general soldier is the second grade, both of which are larger than the customs road of the fourth grade, but the customs road is a civilian position of the internal affairs government, and the civilian officials can be higher than the military attachés, so Wang Zhongxiao and them just have a flat courtesy.

After Wang Zhongxiao, Li Ran, and Chen Shikai saluted each other, they invited the three visitors into their living room - the area of Haidian Zhuangzi is much larger than the house in Dafu Lane, and Wang Zhongxiao has his own courtyard here. At this time, Zhuangzi is full of happy events elsewhere, only here is quieter.

After a few people sat down, Wang An and Wang Quan ordered their subordinates to serve tea, and then went to help entertain the guests.

Wang Zhongxiao picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then pondered for a while, and pointed at the master again: "Futai, this master of the Ministry of Occupation has long had an official body, and this time he donated an alternate prefect, and the Career Dao wants him to temporarily act as the magistrate of Xiangshan, I wonder if it can be convenient?" ”

Xiangshan County is a county under Guangzhou Prefecture, and there was not much oil and water originally, but in the late Ming Dynasty, a group of Portuguese Yi people came, and they made a Haoao concession on the coast of Xiangshan with half rent and half occupation, which was the future Macao.

Because of the blessing of the coastal relocation of the Qing Dynasty, Haikou elsewhere has almost died, and Haoao has become the most important foreign trade port of the Qing Dynasty because of the Portuguese foreign devils.

Come together, this Xiangshan will naturally be developed. However, the oil and water of this Xiangshan trade has always been put into the pocket by the Pingnan Palace, and if the magistrate of Xiangshan wants to get involved, most of them will be like Yao Qisheng, and they will be knocked down by Shang Kexi.

Zhu Guozhi gently turned the tea bowl in his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Shikai, you have to hold Xiangshan in your hand. Of course I can do this, but King Pingnan's side is not easy to deal with! ”

Of course, Zhu Guozhi will not fight for the Pingnan Palace, Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao and his son, and Pingnan Wangfu!

Wang Zhongxiao smiled: "Over there in the Pingnan Palace, the job has its own way, and it's a big deal to scrape a little more from Yangyi's head!" ”

Zhu Guozhi looked at Wang Zhongxiao, who was strong in blood, and reminded him kindly: "I'm afraid those Yangyi are not so easy to talk to, right?" And they are in the same league as that Nan Huairen of Qin Tianjian! ”

"Futai, in fact, Nan Huairen was sent by the church in Haoao!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "Nan Huairen is a member of the Christian Diocese of Hao O. And the diocese of Hao Ao was appointed by the king of Western Portugal and the Roman Christian Church to preside over the religious affairs of our Qing Dynasty! Shouldn't this be made clear? Within the four seas, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister! Is Hao O the king's land? Is Nan Huairen a royal minister? ”

What are you doing here?

Zhu Guozhi was also a little confused by Wang Zhongxiao, so he gave Li Lang a look, and Li Lang immediately said: "Brother Shikai, the top priority of Liangguang today should be to march to Yungui, right?" ”

Wang Zhongxiao nodded and said with a smile: "Of course!" Li Junmen, my father has been working hard about this matter, but now he is in a lot of trouble, so he wants to use silver to open the way, so I asked the emperor for this customs road. ”

"Trouble? What's the trouble? Li Yan asked.

"Sun Yanling!" Wang Zhongxiao said, "Sun Yanling secretly communicated with Wu Sangui, divided half of Guangxi, refused to hand over the military power, and did not listen to the command of the governor of Liangguang!" Futai, Junmen, what should you do about this? ”

Resplendent with red walls and heavy doors, it is silent.

Fu Honglie, the alternate prefect of Guangxi, who is almost 50 years old this year, is walking in the magnificent Forbidden City with a first-class guard who has been introduced, and his mood at this time is really indescribable!

At his age, of course, he was a native of the Ming Dynasty, he was originally a scholar in Jiangxi, but he read averagely, and he didn't even get out of the show when he was in his twenties. If it weren't for the chaos at the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties, he would probably be a down-and-out scholar in his life.

Fortunately, he couldn't read well, but he was very decisive when he was a traitor. When the Qing Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers had just entered the south of the Yangtze River, they decisively voted for the Qing Dynasty as the leading party. And he also threw himself into the door of a Qing Dynasty prince, and volunteered to be the prince's clothed servant!

He has inquired with others, if he wants to become his own person in the Qing Dynasty, then he has to raise the flag! And it is very difficult for ordinary people to carry the flag in one step, they have to be a coated slave first, and then carry the flag. Big names like Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng all became slaves first and then raised the flag.

Therefore, Fu Honglie also wanted to follow in the footsteps of Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng, and decided to start from the coated slave in a down-to-earth manner. Moreover, Fu Honglie also inquired carefully, and knew that this Qing Dynasty's clothed slave was also divided into the emperor's coat and the prince's and Baylor's coats, and if he wanted to be the emperor's coat, he had to go to Beijing. Fu Honglie was shy at the time and couldn't make up the travel expenses, so he became the clothed servant of the king of Dingnan under the introduction of a banner man friend named Wang Guoguang (later the governor of Liangguang) who had just met for a few days

And after he became a coated minion, he realized that he was wrong!

This king of Dingnan is not a serious Manchurian prince, not one of the big and small banner masters, but a vassal king! Although the establishment of the descendants of the king of Dingnan is also the same as that of the flag soldiers, there are also staff leaders, assistant leaders or something, and the soldiers are also called flag soldiers, and the treatment is the same as that of the Eight Banner soldiers. However, the fifteen leaders under the Dingnan Wang Domain were self-contained and isolated from the Eight Banners system.

In other words, it is almost impossible for Fu Honglie to rise step by step from Dingnan Wangfu to the children of the Eight Banners, he is a "flag man", and the establishment is also in the Dingnan Palace, so it is impossible to enter the Eight Banners.

This is really a traitor who voted in the wrong place, and he did his homework before he surrendered to the Tartars, which belonged to being prepared.

Although this Fu Honglie is "the wrong Tartar", he wants to quit and re-invest, but it is impossible, if he wants to quit, that is, "escape"! Whether you can escape or not is another matter, but it is definitely impossible to enter the Qing system again in this life.

However, the king of Dingnan, Kong Youde, was still good to Fu Honglie, a "showman" (he didn't have a show, but Kong Youde still treated him as a showman), he didn't let him fill in the trenches, nor did he let him do rough work, but it seems that it is not bad to let him be the teacher of his own children!

If nothing else, Fu Honglie will become an important minister of the Ding Dynasty after Kong Youde's son Kong Tingxun becomes the heir, and perhaps he will also become a member of the imperial court under the recommendation of Kong Tingxun.

But the accident soon came!

Fu Honglie followed Kong Youde in Guilin, Guangxi for less than two years, and Li Dingguo came over and broke through Guilin in one fell swoop, killing Kong Youde.

However, Fu Honglie is also a master who can run, when he broke the city of Guilin, he ran with Kong Youde's children, and later ran away with Kong Tingxun, so he had to protect Kong Sizhen with a wet nurse from Dingnan Palace, pretending to be a family of three and running away.

Because Fu Honglie is from Jiangxi, and Kong Youde's subordinates are all from the Northeast, his Jiangxi official dialect easily deceived the Shaanxi people under Li Dingguo, and ran away to hide outside Guilin for a while. After getting along with Kong Sizhen, a little girl, for a while, he followed him to Beijing and became the housekeeper in Beijing's Dingnan Palace.

It can be said that he grew up with Kong Sizhen little by little, and watched her grow up from a good girl like a white lotus, to be seduced and taken bad by Wang Fuchen, a living Lu Bu, and little by little became a watery poplar D woman. While having a hot fight with Wang Fuchen, a big carrot, he kept teasing Emperor Shunzhi, and on the other hand, he was eyebrow-raising with Sun Yanling, a handsome little guy. But he didn't take a straight look at Fu Honglie.

Thinking of the big heroine he saw since he was a child, Fu Honglie couldn't help but let out a long sigh!

"Governor Fu, don't sigh." At this time, the guards who were introduced had already stood firm outside the Qianqing Gate, turned back to Fu Honglie and said, "You are here to resign from Your Majesty, you can't look sad!" ”

Fu Honglie found out that he had arrived outside the Qianqing Gate, and he would immediately meet the Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, who expelled Ao Bai and forced the rebellion against Sangui.

"Fu Honglie, the alternate governor of Guangxi, knock on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Fu Honglie was finally introduced into the south study of the Qianqing Palace, and bowed three times and nine times to the person sitting at the back of the throne.

Kangxi gently touched a jade Ruyi on the desk, this Ruyi was a treasure presented by Yang Qilong, who had just spent 120,000 taels of silver to buy Jinhaiguan Road, when he came to the palace to thank him, it was carved with precious white jade, its color was white and green, and it was carved into the shape of a porous fungus.

Kangxi liked this jade Ruyi very much, and his impression of Yang Qilong was much better, so he promised to give a holy decree to the Korean State on the spot, asking them to open the Haizhou port and the Qing Dynasty trade, and also to divide a piece of land suitable for building a port in the Haizhou Bay to the Jinhai Customs Road of the Qing Dynasty for the construction of a merchant hall - this is not a low request, but the holy decree of the Qing Emperor!

If North Korea dares not to comply, then it is just right to use this soft persimmon to establish its authority!

Thinking of this, Kangxi retracted his mind and said in a voice that couldn't hear joy and anger: "Raise your head!" ”

Fu Honglie immediately straightened up, his legs still bent, and knelt on a futon.

Kangxi glanced at him: "Well, Fu Honglie, you have been wronged all these years, although I have long known that Wu Sangui was going to rebel, but at that time, the government was controlled by Aobai, and Aobai blindly raised tigers and troubles, so there are changes in the southwest today, and you have suffered a lot." ”

"The minister is not bitter, the minister can expose the traitor for the court, even if he is broken!"

Fu Honglie's words are nice, but in fact this is not the case at all. The reason why he participated in Wu Sangui's conspiracy was because Ao Bai had already begun to rectify Wu Sangui at that time. He felt that his chance to make a name for himself had come!

The reason why he wanted to fight so big was because he threw the wrong one when he "threw Tartar". As a fixed domain, if he doesn't sharpen his head and drill up, the prefect will probably come to an end.

And he had already lost a lot in order to fight for a good official reputation in the Qingyang prefect

"Good!" Kangxi nodded heavily and said with a smile, "I want an official like you, and now I will send you to the prefect of Guangzhou, do you dare to accept this dispatch?" ”

Fu Honglie was stunned, the prefect of Guangzhou! How big is this oil? If you want to take it out and sell it, you can keep 200,000 taels of silver and rush to ask for it, why is it your turn?

Thinking of this, Fu Honglie asked uncertainly: "Your Majesty, the minister is the alternate prefect of Guangxi, can he be the prefect of Guangzhou?" ”

Kangxi smiled: "You are the alternate prefect of the Qing Dynasty, I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I asked you to be the prefect of Guangxi before, and you are the alternate prefect of Guangxi."

But I've changed my mind now. I feel that the current prefect of Guangzhou is not very powerful, and I have to change it. I also thought that Guangzhou was the first capital in Tiannan, and I needed a reliable and capable official to manage it. You are quite suitable, you have done a good job in Qingyang, and you have managed such a poor place in an orderly manner, which is very good!

Moreover, you are still the first official in the court to impeach Wu Sangui with a script, and you are loyal to the Qing Dynasty and don't want your life, which is really commendable! That's why I gave you the lack of the prefect of Guangzhou. ”

Listening to Kangxi's words, Fu Honglie was in ecstasy, this little emperor is really going to use him a lot!

He hurriedly kowtowed to Kangxi again, and said loudly: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

Kangxi smiled: "Fu Honglie, don't be busy thanking you first, do you know how difficult it is to be the prefect of Guangzhou?" How are you going to be the prefect of Guangzhou? ”

"Your Majesty, of course the minister knows that the prefect of Guangzhou is not easy to be today!" Fu Honglie replied, "The minister also knows that there is no good prefect on the land of Liangguang now!" ”

"Oh, how do you say?" Kangxi asked.

"Your Majesty, there is a three-legged situation in the two vast bodies today," Fu Honglie said, "Guangxi General Sun Yanling and Guangxi Governor Ma Xiong colluded with each other, supporting the army and self-defeating, for one foot; Dingnan Gege and the governor of Liangguang, Wang Fuchen, have always been. is good, and now it is the same breath, and it is also the same foot; The Pingnan Mansion has a prestige in Guangdong, with a wide range of troops and weight, and by marrying into the Gege of the Xushun Mansion, he also holds the authority of the Xushun Mansion, which is another step.

These three legs fight and peace, and you have me, I have you. The situation is extremely complicated! The prefectures and counties of Liangguang were caught between them, and they were all tired of coping and at a loss. ”

Kangxi nodded, thoughtful: "But I feel that this three-legged stand is still not enough, and I want to insert another foot. Therefore, I have appointed Zhu Guozhi to supervise Liangguang, Li Lang to supervise Guangdong, and Chen Shikai to guard Zhaoqing, what do you think? ”

Fu Honglie frowned: "The emperor's arrangement is naturally sage. It's just that the courtiers are reckless and don't understand the emperor's intentions. ”

Kangxi said: "It's not that I can't believe in the letter of Wang Fuchen's monk, but I want a foolproof one. At least Guangdong, no, it's Guangzhou, you can't afford to lose! As long as Guangzhou is in hand, the sky of Liangguang will not be overturned!

I know your loyalty, and I also know the loyalty of Dingnan Gege, that's why I want to hand over Guangzhou to you! After you arrive in Guangzhou, you must work with Zhu Guozhi and Li Rotan to keep Guangzhou firmly in sight! DID YOU KNOW? ”

"The minister must live up to the grace of God!" Fu Honglie kowtowed to Kangxi again.

Kangxi nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "Fu Honglie, I will ask you again. If, I mean if, if Dingnan Gege is controlled by Wang Fuchen, who do you listen to? ”

"Listen to the emperor!" Fu Honglie said categorically, "Chensheng is a slave of the Qing Dynasty, and death is a ghost of the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"Good!" Kangxi slapped the table, "What I want is your sentence From now on, you are my minion!" ”

"Your Majesty." Fu Honglie was excited for a while, and his eyes were moist as a servant of the emperor!

Isn't that going to be carried into the upper three flags?

Kangxi looked at Fu Honglie, who was about to cry, and said with a smile: "But I can't carry you into the Three Banners for the time being, because I also want you to pick up the prefect of Guangzhou as the Baoyi of Dingnan Gege Mansion!" If Wang Fuchen really worked hard to fight Wu Sangui for me, then you would help him raise more money in Guangzhou, do you understand what I mean? ”

Fu Honglie still doesn't understand? Kangxi wants him to be his eyes and ears to spy on Wang Fuchen!

In addition, the relationship between Kong Sizhen and Wang Fuchen is too good now, if he goes to be the prefect of Guangzhou as a subordinate of Kong Sizhen's domain, there is no doubt that there will be a gap between the Ping Domain and the Ding Domain, as well as between Wang Fuchen, the governor of Guangzhou.

And Wang Fuchen will take Guangzhou as a matter of course as a territory that he can touch, and he will regard Fu Honglie's appointment as the prefect of Guangzhou as Kangxi's trust in him!

In this way, Wang Fuchen's antipathy to Zhu Guozhi, Li Yan, and Chen Shikai entering Guangdong to grab land will be reduced a lot.

After all, a Guangzhou mansion is "half of Guangzhou"!

Moreover, this Guangzhou Mansion is still a "request for shortage", that is, it is a vacancy appointed by Kangxi, and the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong have no way to interfere.

So Kangxi handed over this lack to Fu Honglie, that is, his trust in Wang Fuchen.
