Chapter 92: The Descendants of the Traitors
"You say you are ......" is no longer in the overpass, in the teahouse where Luo Xin and Mo Jing drank tea, the people concerned were all shocked by the origin of the singing ancestors.
……
Hong Chengchou's granddaughter.
That's who that little girl is. …… It's amazing enough.
Hong Chengchou is a traitor! And it's an amazing traitor! Wu Sangui is also a little worse than him.
Since his surrender to the Qing court, he has been very much used by Huang Taiji and later Dorgon. He can be said to be one of the two Han people who contributed the most to the Qing Dynasty (the other is Zeng Guofan), and the three regimes of the Southern Ming Dynasty at that time were destroyed by the hands of Hong Chengchou! In the Longwu regime, Hong Chengchou appeased the powerful faction Zheng Zhilong (Zheng Chenggong's Laozi), the Yongli regime, he appeased Sun Kewang (Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son), and completely laid a solid foundation for the Qing army to comprehensively sweep away Yungui, and Wu Sangui just received his fruits.
However, although he is known as "the second biggest traitor in Chinese history" (some say the traitor boss is Wang Jingwei, some say it is Chiang Kai-shek, and now, even Mr. Lu Xun has been put on this hat, which is simply ...... Oh the god of Odi! The huge role played by Hong Chengchou during the Ming and Qing dynasties is not easy to ignore, and his activities can be said to have influenced most of China. He was the first to propose that the primary task of the Qing army after entering the customs was to exterminate the peasant army, and he also put forward sharp opinions on Shunzhi's belief in only lamas and not in Confucius and Mencius, laying the foundation for the comprehensive integration of the Manchu and Han landlord classes. Moreover, after Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he also helped many people escape the butcher's knife of the Qing army, but many history books refused to record these deeds. Hong Chengchou's contribution to the founding of the Qing Dynasty can be said to be a second person except for Dolgon.
Moreover, Hong Chengchou can be said to have indirectly created Wu Sangui. After Wu Sangui pacified Yunnan, he asked Lao Hong, how could he be able to Yongzhen Yunnan? Such as the story of Muying in the Ming Dynasty. Hong Chengchou said in a scheming manner: You can't make Yunnan idle for a day! So, Wu Sangui was taught. Since then, Yunnan has been in constant military affairs every year, and the three feudal clans have grown day by day.
However, the so-called "great merit is not rewarded", Hong Chengchou has worked hard for the Qing court for many years, but Shunzhi's original promise of "not sparing the reward of the king" has not been fulfilled. It was not until Shunzhi's death that he was given the title of third-class lieutenant of the light car, and he was granted hereditary succession four times. The captain of the light car was the fourth from the bottom of the Qing Dynasty, and he did not even enter the fifth-class duke (Gonghou Bozinan). Moreover, after Hong Chengchou's death, he gave sacrifices in general, and there were many sarcastic words in the sacrificial text written by the edict.
Hong Chengchou is a rare capable minister, and his personal talent is definitely the best of the best in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, but unfortunately, it is relatively poor in terms of integrity, so that people have been scolded so far. Even the Qing court criticized him, Kangxi ordered people to write "The Biography of Erchen", and Lao Hong was listed in the first class.
……
Now, in front of Luo Xin and others, the granddaughter of Hong Chengchou and Marshal Hong, who had experienced the military and politics of the seven provinces and was named the only prince and master in the Qing Dynasty, appeared.
As for the old man who pulled the erhu, he was an old family member of the Hong family, because of his loyalty, after the fall of the Hong family, he still followed him to take care of this little girl, of course, because Hong Chengchou was a military leader, so, as a servant, the old man was also a family martial artist, and he practiced iron sand palms.
"Hehe, that guy named Hailiu is really fucking lucky, and he actually ran into our group of nobles." Yu Zhong said hesitantly. Hong Chengchou died a long time ago, and Yu Wei was scolded a long time ago. So, he doesn't care at all, what he cares about is the current situation. Hai Liuyi's gang is really lucky, the old man has been singing for decades, although he is old now, how can it be a problem to clean up a few gangsters?
"The adults are mistaken, in fact, the little old man has long been unable to use force......" After listening to Yu Zhong's words, the old man said.
"Oh? How? Why not use kung fu? You are not a traitor, but you are just defending yourself, can't you? Luo Xin asked. That's an iron sand palm, although I don't believe in Jiuyang Divine Skill, Jiuyin True Scripture, Sunflower Treasure Book or anything, but Luo Xin feels that this kind of kung fu still has a certain degree of credibility, and it is estimated that a few layers of skin can still be removed when rubbed on the body.
"The year before last, I also met a bunch of scoundrels, and the little old man fought with them with a few fists and feet, but I didn't expect that there were also practitioners in the gang of scoundrels, and the little old man couldn't hold it, so he took the young lady to run. As a result, I met a 'hero', and that 'hero' did Xiao Lao'er a favor, but after hearing about Xiao Lao'er's identity, he broke Xiao Lao'er's tendons. Now, Xiao Lao'er's hands are no longer energetic, so it's okay to pull the erhu, where can I still do it with people? The old man smiled bitterly.
"Alas......"
Everyone sighed.
Hong Chengchou "benefits children and grandchildren"! Think about when he was alive, the scenery was infinite, and he had the military and political affairs of the seven provinces, but as soon as he died, the Qing court did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world to promote him. Now, as soon as Kangxi's "The Biography of Erchen" came out, he was even more named a "traitor and traitor", and people didn't have to scold him in secret like before, but could scold him openly and openly. Even his children and grandchildren suffered, not only did they have no life, but they were also picked off for no reason.
"Forget it, don't talk about these things, little sister, what's your name?" Luo Xin asked the little girl.
"Hong Fengyi!" The little girl replied calmly, not in the slightest change by the meaning contained in the eyes of the people in front of her.
"Feng Yi? …… There is a phoenix! Well, that's a good name! Since that day Song came forward to clean up the Hailiuyi gang, the man in white, who had been silent, spoke.
"What's so good about the name? Fengyi Fengyi, hum, whoever calls this little girl's name will not be a lifetime shorter out of thin air. Hu Hai, who had already collected the knife, said disdainfully. As a Han person, no matter which one it is, it is really difficult to have any good impression of Hong Chengchou's descendants, even if Hu Hai is now eating the food of the Qing court, he still has this idea.
"Don't dare to bother your adults, Gege, and son, the little old man and the young lady still have some things, so I will retire first!" The old man who sang saw the bad feelings of Hu Hai and some people around him for himself and Hong Fengyi, and stood up and said.
"This little girl sings well, why don't you follow me in the future, how about it?" Mo Jing said suddenly.
"Thank you for this Gege, the Hong family is not welcomed, so don't trouble Gege." After listening to Mo Jing's words, the old man had not yet spoken, and the little girl, that is, Hong Fengyi, suddenly said. The tone is so flat, where is there a little bit of childishness that she should have at her age?
"Yes...... Yes, Mo Jing, you, have you thought about it? Yu Zhong stammered and asked. Accept Hong Chengchou's family into the house, and then you don't have to be a person in the future, he said secretly.
"Brother Yu, are you opposed? Then let this little girl follow me, how about it? Luo Xin said suddenly.
"That's not what I meant......" Yu Zhong waved his hand repeatedly. Oppose? How dare I? He cried out in his heart.
"Thank you two Gege, Feng Yi also has to send a bell to Zhi Lao for the elderly, you can't be a maid ring for others, the kindness of the two Gege Feng Yi understands!" Hong Fengyi said crisply, bowing to Luo Xin and Mo Jing as she spoke.
"Did I say I want you to be a girl? We don't need a ring in our family...... Little sister, don't you think we look a little alike? …… Be my sister! Mo Jing said with a smile.
"Poof!" Yu Heng didn't take a sip of tea, and squirted it out on the spot.
"Crazy, this girl is crazy......" Hu Hai shook his gray stubble, dumbfounded.
"Amazing, really extraordinary......" The man in white pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes shone with pride.
"I can't live this day...... I have to go back to discuss it with Fei Lao......" Yu Zhong muttered to himself, and his soul wandered out of the world.
……
*********
"Ahh …… I'm sorry, rude, rude......" Old man Fei snorted lightly and apologized to Bai Jin.
"Hehe, it's okay!" Bai Jin smiled.
"By the way, where are we?" Old man Fei asked again.
"Quinine, my lord, we talked about quinine." Bai Jin said.
"That's right, quinine, it's a cure for malaria. ......" Old man Fei sighed, and then asked Bai Jin: "Priest, I know that you are a genius in chemistry and medicine, so I would like to ask if you think the drug quinine can be mass-produced in China?" …… Praise be to God, for those who suffer from sickness......"
"On this issue, I'm actually already looking into it. His Majesty Kangxi is also very concerned about this issue, and he also gave me and Zhang Cheng a laboratory, but now the experiment has just begun, so there are no results yet......" Seeing that Old Man Fei took out the name of "Lord", Bai Jin straightened his body and said slowly.
"I see. ...... "Of course Lao Tzu knows that you have a laboratory, otherwise how would Lao Tzu know which green onion you are?" What do you know? Old man Fei said secretly in his heart. However, although what he thought in his heart was very inauthentic, Old Man Fei's face was still smiling.
"Alas, His Majesty Kangxi has given us great support. However, the main ingredient of quinine is extracted from the bark and root bark of the cinchona tree in South America, which is really difficult to find in China...... And it is too difficult to find a plant that can replace cinchona. Bai Jin shook his head again and sighed.
"That's the case...... Old Man Fei smacked his lips and said to Bai Jin without giving up: "Priest, the geographical situation of China is very special, and there are almost all kinds of climates; Although the golden cinchona tree grows in South America, I think it should be transplanted to China......
"Transplant?" Bai Jin raised his eyebrows, and was moved by Old Man Fei's proposal. Malaria is an epidemic disease that was difficult to cure until quinine, or cinchoa sodium cream, was discovered. This is especially true in China, where even Kangxi was cured of malaria because he ate quinine offered by him and Zhang Cheng. If this medicine could be mass-produced in China, and the Chinese would be favored and made to yearn for the West, wouldn't the missionary mission given to him by the Jeshua Society be a great success?
……
"I'm afraid this won't be easy to do......" After thinking for a while, Bai Jin said again.
