Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

"Master Tu," Kong Sizhen seemed to know what Tu Hai was thinking, "this Fu Honglie was so devoted to the Qing Dynasty and the imperial court at that time, and he had no second thoughts!"

Is that really stupid?

Tu Hai stroked his beard, then looked at Kong Sizhen, then at Sun Yanling, and finally looked at "Fool Fu" and said: "Since Ge Ge said so, then you should go to Guangzhou! But Guangzhou is a dragon's lake and a tiger's den. You don’t feel at ease going to the office alone, how about this... Zhou Peigong!"

"I am humble!"

A middle-aged man in his forties came out.This middle-aged man was wearing a blue mandarin jacket and a golden straw hat with yangwen engraved flowers on his head. He should be a small ninth-rank official.However, his appearance is quite good, with a thin face, bright eyes, and piercing eyes. Although he is only a ninth-rank official next to Tu Hai, he does not have the appearance of a servant attached to a wealthy family at all.

The young man's name was Zhou Chang, his style name was Peigong, he was from Jingmen, Hubei Province, he was a small official in the prefecture and county, but later he went through some kind of connections, and he fell in love with Tuhai, who led the troops to encircle and suppress Hao Yaoqi in Huguang, and became Tuhai's friend. Master, he also secured a ninth-rank sesame official.

Tu Hai pointed at Zhou Chang, smiled and said to Fu Honglie: "Fu Honglie, this is my confidant Zhou Chang, he is also a scholar and can write a few articles, let him sneak into Guangzhou City with you! "

……

"Jianguo, Shizi, the Military Advisory Office received a detailed report yesterday that Jianyi's Ningnan Jingkou General Tu Hai has arrived in Shaozhou City, along with eight hundred and eight banner soldiers and hundreds of coated slaves."

In Guangzhou, Jianguo Mansion, in the Nine Halls, Yang Qilong, the deputy military commander of the right assistant, is reporting the latest information to Zhu Tianwang and Zhu Heyi.

With the arrival of Zhu Tianwang, the Ming Jieyang court became the Guangzhou court.And in a Guangzhou imperial court, there are two Long Lives... one is Long Live Jian Guo, and the other is Long Live Saints!

Now there are two long live "Tongzhi", so there are two dragon chairs side by side above the court hall, Zhu Tianwang sits on one, and Zhu Heqi sits on the other.

It looks a little awkward, but the father and son look very happy... Wansui is very good, there is something to discuss, and Zhu and Qi are only one biological father, Zhu Tianwang only has one son now, since they are both the other party's son "Only", then there is nothing to argue about, what's yours is mine!

Of course, this juxtaposition of [-] years is also the decision of the former Confucian University Scholars Conference!

"Haha, 800 soldiers of the Eight Banners are finally here!" The sage Long live Zhu Heqi laughed at this, "This is a good thing... the nonsense that the Eight Banners are invincible should be broken by these [-] people. "

Long live the old Zhu Tianwang stroked his five long beards and said: "My son, this time you sit down in Guangzhou, and take your fourth uncle Sai Zhangfei to meet the Eight Hundred and Eight Banners soldiers for your father!"

Emperor Chongzhen is really happy, he has been dead for so many years, and he has a son again!

A few months ago, Zhu Tianwang and Wu Sanwei, the champion of martial arts who was captured by him, worshiped him... Now Zhu Tianwang has his second brother Yu Laozi above him, his fourth brother Sai Zhangfei below him, and a dead one Big Brother Su Dadu.And Su Dadu, Su Li, Mr. Yu, Sai Zhangfei and Wu Sanwei are all sons of Emperor Chongzhen, what a big family!

Chapter 200 Talent, you must pass this subject!

Great Sage Zhu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry about dispatching troops. I guess Tuhai will bring his Eight Hundred and Eight Banners soldiers to Guangzhou soon to die. Let's settle it outside Guangzhou city." They are."

Zhu and Qi were talking, and they also looked at their new "Uncle Hei" with a smile, his eyes were full of love for talents.

He went on to say: "But now, fourth uncle has to help the child train generals and soldiers... By the first month of next year, if we can train a thousand officers who lead troops and train [-] soldiers capable of fighting. That Tuhai , Sun Yanling and the like, aren’t they up to us? When they are destroyed, the father and the child will be able to conquer the Central Plains together, drive out the Tartars, and restore China.”

Zhu Tianwang looked back at his "fourth black brother".

Wu Sanwei smiled and said: "Your Majesty, those Eight Banners soldiers are nothing serious, they are just dudes. Their purpose is to frighten the Han army and the Green Battalion soldiers, forcing them to fight with us. In the first month of next year, our Once the soldiers are well trained, this group of people will be nothing to worry about!"

Although Tianwang Zhu is a bit out of tune, he is still very reliable at critical moments!For example, the last time Zhu and Qi were escorted to Guangzhou, he was the one who brought people to rescue them.Later, I also carried it in the capital of Guiyu for several months!They did a good job in Jieyang this time, especially in catching this "Fourth Uncle Black".

This "Black Fourth Uncle" is a talent!

Just look at his current official position, he is the head teacher of Jinyiweijun Academy!

This person is equivalent to the dean of education of the Whampoa Military Academy, and is a senior official in charge of military academy education.And he was able to become this official because of his real skills!

Although he is not very good on the battlefield, but he is a champion of martial arts with full gold content!He is not only excellent in martial arts, but also proficient in arranging troops, and is also good at training soldiers-he was the first martial arts champion in the Kangxi Dynasty and the first martial arts champion selected under the administration of Oboi.Of course, it is necessary to focus on cultivation!

So when he was guarding the gate at the guard's office, Oboi specially arranged for the old Manchu who was dawdling in the guard's office to teach him how to use soldiers, and prepared to train him to become a butcher whose hands were stained with the blood of the Han people.

But I didn't expect that after this Wu Sanwei learned his skills well, Oboi would fall from power, and then he suffered the loss of his name, and was cast aside by Kangxi. Tactics"... This is the first time I have encountered demon magic, not to mention Wu Sanwei, if you let Dorgon and Duoduo fight, you will suffer a lot!

However, Wu Sanwei's skills in arranging troops and training soldiers are very solid, and he is also familiar with the tactics of Manchurian soldiers.So after taking refuge in Zhu Tianwang, he immediately presented a set of horse stances that was very suitable for the needs of Jinyi's pro-army at the moment.

This grenade hammer, flower hammer, etc. are actually equivalent to the skirmish tactics of the line infantry era... Of course, the power is much greater!

But it doesn't mean that you don't need to form an array, just use stragglers to support the market.In the battle of Longtoushan, Zhu and Qi reluctantly put up an array and set up fortifications, but they were still broken by Shang Kexi.

If it wasn't for Lin Ahu and Zhuge Junshi's quick response, Shang Kexi would have run away!

Therefore, after taking control of Guangzhou, Zhu Heqi has been thinking about how to establish an infantry and cavalry array suitable for the "sugar medicine" era.

But how to do this?As soon as Zhu Heqi was engaged in "Taoism and Immortal Art", Zhuge's military division could pinch and count, and Yang Qilong's secret agent... couldn't even do it!

Just when the few of them had nothing to do, his father came to Guangzhou with the formation presented by "Uncle Hei" and "Fourth Uncle Hei".

When Zhu Heqi saw these two sets of formations, he immediately knew that "Uncle Hei" was a talent.Because the formations given by "Uncle Black" are neither big nor small, they can be attacked and defended, they can be arranged alone, or as a small formation in a large formation, they can also be deployed in conjunction with fortifications, and can also be used in conjunction with artillery, grenades, and bombs. Soldiers use.

In addition, "Black Fourth Uncle" also attached a set of rules for training, dispatching, changing formations, deploying formations, and marching.

Although it can't be said to be "advanced", but the strength is that it is easy to make, and it can be used!

So Zhu Heqi immediately sent the "Fourth Uncle Black" as the head teacher of the Jinyiweijun Academy.

These days, he is running the Jinyiwei Army Academy with Zhu Heqi, Zhuge Junshi, and some Portuguese officers who are good at using muskets, cannons, and spears, and can arrange Spanish spears!

Zhu Heqi selected 1000 officers from each of the eight military towns of the front, rear, left, right, middle, Qin, south, and north of the Jinyi Qinjun below, plus the Shizi Mansion, Military Division Mansion and Jian Guo Mansion. There are a total of [-] military officers, and they all attend classes and train every day in the military academy in Shizi Mansion!

According to the plan, their classes will last until late November.And then they have to go to the army to train... the fastest is the end of December before all the Jinyi troops in the eight towns can be trained.

At that time, Zhu Heqi will have [-] soldiers ready to fight!

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi smiled and said to Zhu Tianwang: "Father, we already have some money now, and we don't need to make dangerous moves like before. We can follow the steps and train our soldiers before we start fighting. There's something important to do!"

"What's the big deal?"

"Of course it's the imperial examination!" Zhu Hechi said, "There are already a lot of talents gathered in Guangzhou...it's almost time to start the examination!"

"Are there a lot of talents?" Zhu Tianwang looked at Zhu Heqi and asked, "You didn't take the exam, so you know there are talents? Who are they? Let me hear it?"

yes?

Who is there?

Zhu Heqi scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "There are Zhou Peigong, Yao Qisheng, Fu Honglie, Zhang Tingyu, Nian Gengyao, Yue Zhongqi..."

The names reported by Zhu Heqi were not random, but he used his brains and tried his best to recall the good generals and ministers of the Kangxi Dynasty. Only then did he come up with a few whose names seemed to be Han Chinese, but who have not been in official positions now—at least Yang Qilong, a big spy, didn't know that they had official positions at present.

Zhu Heqi planned to list their names on the Jinshi list of the first department of Fuming first, so it was used as a countermeasure.

Maybe it's covered?For such a character, it's blood money to die!And it costs nothing.

Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong didn't know at this time that the two of them had already passed the exam, and they were traveling day and night to Guangzhou.Counting the itinerary, it just happened to be in time for this "college entrance examination" that is self-inflicted.

He has the token issued by Tuhai in his hand, and he can go anywhere in the Qing Dynasty!And after entering the border of the Ming Dynasty, they took out the "Recruitment Announcement" issued by the Xingshi Zifu, and of course they were able to pass without hindrance.

So on September 28th, they arrived at a newly established pass next to the Sanyuanli Fortress under construction in the north of Guangzhou City.

This pass is the starting point of the Guangzhou City Defense Zone, and it is also the only open passage from the north into Guangzhou City by land.

Most of the people who came in and out from here had already changed into the clothes of the Ming Dynasty... On the bridge, there were also "Confucian scholars" in black clothes cutting people's braids with knives.

Of course, it's not that everyone who is caught will be cut off (braid).Businessmen from the "Qingtong District" will get a "tax card" after paying the "braid tax". number!

The reason for this is, of course, for "anti-counterfeiting"—corresponding to the tax plate, there is also a file book, which records the issuance of the "tax plate".For example, who sent it to whom?

When the person who has paid the braid tax and received the tax card is about to leave Guangzhou City, he must hand in the tax card at the Sanyuanli Pass, and then check the name and date of arrival in order to keep it. Braids leave.

Otherwise, he would have to accept the investigation of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi!If it is found that they are not spies, they can leave after paying a fine.

When Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong took a few entourages and wanted to pass through the Sanyuanli Pass and enter the outskirts of Guangzhou, they were surprised to find that most of the people queuing up to pass the pass were not businessmen but scholars, and many of them had the same headaches as them. A scholar wearing a melon cap and a long gown.However, most of the scholars seem to be old and a bit down-and-out old scholars.

Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong themselves were also dressed as scholars, but they didn't look downcast. They were accompanied by big bodyguards and rode tall horses. It seemed that they had backgrounds, maybe they had university education.

Therefore, a nephew of the old man who was in charge of guarding the pass, a Jinyi pro-military hundred household officer named Yu Xiaowu, took the initiative to greet him very politely.

"Are you a scholar or a Xiaolian (Juren)? Where are you from?" Although Xiaowu is a hundred households in Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, but it also has a round face that is kind and rich - Lao Yu's family The people here all have round dough faces, which look very kind.

"Fu Honglie, born late," Fu Honglie quickly got off his horse and bowed his hands in salute. "He's from Jiangxi... with the fame of Xiaolian."

"Late-born Zhou Hualong," Zhou Peigong also stood up and dismounted, and then reported his father's name, "People from Jingmen, Hubei, are also famous for their filial piety."

"Xiaolian, good, good!" This Yu Xiaowu burst into smiles when he heard that the two were Xiaolian, and he didn't ask them both for the "examination flag" (certificate for raising people to walk in the rivers and lakes) to see, He directly made a solemn gesture, "You two Xiaolian, please on the bridge! The next official will personally issue a 'braid tax card' for you...By the way, the two Xiaolians don't plan to cut your braids for the time being, do you? Braids go to the exam, you can get extra points!"

"Extra points?" Fu Honglie was taken aback, "What points?"

Zhou Peigong also asked: "What is a point?"

"Extra points for the imperial examination! We use a point system for the imperial examination this time. The higher the score, the easier it is to pass!"

Yu Xiaowu explained very enthusiastically, "Although you two have good knowledge, you can be a Jinshi without extra points, but if you add [-] points, you may be the number one scholar? Besides, after you win the Jinshi, you still have to do it." As an official, as an official in Ming Dynasty, of course you have to cut your pigtails. So sooner or later you have to cut it, why not cut it now!"

Chapter 201 Original Confucianism, Ferocious Confucianism!

Braids of course cannot be cut!The braids in your heart must never be cut, and it is best not to cut the braids on the back of your head.

Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong were good servants of the Qing Dynasty. How could they be willing to cut off their braids, which are more precious than their lives, just for a few extra points?The two of them would rather cut their eggs than cut their braids!

So the two honestly paid the braid tax for themselves and their entourage, then put on a melon cap that could hide the braids, and passed the Sanyuanli pass.

After passing the customs, I walked south for about three or four miles, and arrived at the Great North Gate at the foot of Yuexiu Mountain.

The Great North Gate was originally the north gate of the inner city of Guangzhou Prefecture. When Shang Kexi ruled Guangzhou, the inner city of Guangzhou was a banner city, so ordinary Han people were not allowed to enter the Great North Gate.Because ordinary Han people cannot come in and out, the market inside the Great North Gate is not very prosperous, and the streets are refurbished to be very wide.On both sides of the street are the mansions of the sons of the official monk Shang Kexi.

Shang Kexi has many sons, and each son wants to build a big house.Therefore, Dabeimen Inner Street has places under construction all year round, and there is no time to stop.

In addition, the Guanyi in Guangzhou Fucheng is also inside the Great North Gate, next to Yuexiu Mountain. You can go out from the back door of the Guanyi, and you can also climb the mountain.

Fu Honglie used to be an official in Shaozhou Prefecture in his early years and often came to Guangzhou Prefecture to handle official business.Every time I enter the city from the Great North Gate, and then go straight to the Guangzhou Post Office, so I am very familiar with the inner area of ​​the Great North Gate.

But now revisiting the old place, things are different and people are different, of course Fu Honglie is very emotional.

I think back when he came to Guangzhou on business, he was still a high-spirited Tongzhi, and his family had tens of millions of wealth.

But now, he has been dismissed as a civilian, and his family has gone bankrupt... and he has also been reduced to a laughing stock in the officialdom, and everyone calls him Fu fool behind his back.If it wasn't for Dingnan Gege who thought he was pitiful and handsome, he was exempted from exile, he would still be a soldier now!

But he should not be a soldier, he is also a grassroots person, I don't know when he will be able to make his debut?It's depressing to think about!

"Brother Zhongmou, is this the Posthouse?" Zhou Peigong's voice suddenly rang in Fu Honglie's ear, interrupting his thoughts.

Fu Honglie looked up, and saw a very familiar yamen-style gate in front of him, which was exactly what he remembered as the gate of the Guangzhou Mansion House.

"That's right, it's here!" Fu Honglie said, "The traitor we met in Sanyuanli just now, ah, the one who asked us to stay here should be here..."

Having said this, Fu Honglie himself was stunned.Because he heard shouts of "Hey Hey Hey" coming from the gate of the posthouse with the plaque of "Original Confucianism Hall". It sounded very neat, as if someone was practicing martial arts inside.

How is this going?

Why is there someone practicing martial arts inside?Isn't this a post house?But... barracks?

When he was in a daze, suddenly a group of "bearded Confucians" in red and light red robes came on flying horses, and they got off their horses only at the gate of the posthouse.A Confucian scholar with a scary scar on his face saw Fu Honglie, Zhou Peigong and others.So he yelled: "Hey, are you also here to listen to the saint's sermon? It's almost time, it's time to go in!"

After finishing speaking, this "Scarred Confucian" walked into the post in a hurry.

Saint preaching?

Zhou Peigong and Fu Honglie felt incredible after hearing this!

How can there be a saint here?

No, I have to go and listen.

When they met two people, they hurriedly walked to the posthouse, walked into the gate, and then bypassed the screen wall, they were stunned again.

Because they saw the murals painted on the wall facing the inner side of the door!

This mural is "Confucius Preaching" - there's a title in the margin, and that's what it says.

But the Confucius in this painting is wrong!

His eyes were wide open, his brows were erect, and he looked like he was about to go mad.In addition, this Confucius was kneeling on the mat, holding a sword tightly in his left hand, a scroll of bamboo slips in his right hand, a grenade hammer hanging from his belt, and a shotgun leaning against a wall behind him... …

How could this be Confucius?

The two of them were thinking of this, when suddenly they shouted in unison: "Welcome to the saint! Wei Guanzhong, I have been sent to the left!"

Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong hurriedly turned their heads to look at the place where the shouts came from, and when they saw it, their jaws almost dropped from shock.

I only saw rows of bamboo mats in the middle of the big courtyard, and on each bamboo mat was sitting upright... a Confucian scholar who was dressed similarly to Confucius, except that he didn't have a grenade hammer on his belt, and he didn't carry a musket on his back. , But everyone has a long sword on their left hand side!

Where the group of Confucian scholars faced stood a high wooden platform with a row of futons on it.

A group of Confucian scholars in red clothes and yellow scarves, with long swords and copper hammers, and muskets attached to their waists, have already climbed onto the high platform. The leader of the Confucian scholars is even more fierce. He is not a good Confucian at first sight... But the Confucian scholars in the courtyard saw him coming, They all cheered wildly.

"Saint, saint, saint..."

It turns out that the person who came to the original Confucianism Hall to give a lecture today is the sage and son Zhu Heqi!

Master Zhu is busier than before!Because in a few days, the "college entrance examination" will begin!

So he had to hurry up and do some ideological work for the Confucian scholars who gathered in Guangzhou.We must help them to change their minds and accept the "Original Confucianism" created by Zhu Hechi himself, and change from a Lingnan Confucian student who only knows about exams, being an official, and fighting with weapons to one who understands the righteousness of the original Confucianism and knows who to fight for. Confucianism.

After completing the transformation, Zhu Heqi will invite them to join the original Confucianism school... The so-called original Confucianism school is actually a budding party.

With the call of "the world is public, the world is in harmony, and the original Confucianism is restored".
