Chapter 14 Hong Chengchou
Wang Xinyu sent a generous gift, and some of the generous gifts were sent to the capital.
In Beijing at that time, only the Eight Banners and high-ranking traitors could live in Zhengyangmen, and the people could not enter the inner city at all. After the Qing army occupied Beijing, the ordinary Han people who originally lived in the city were driven out, and it was stipulated that the people were not allowed to enter and leave the inner city at will, that is, within the scope of today's Beijing Metro Line 2, Han people were not allowed to enter and leave at will. It was not until after Qianlong that some wealthy merchants and opera troupes appeared, and they spent money to live in the inner city. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were fewer restrictions, and as long as you could afford to spend this money, you could live in the inner city. At this time, it was still the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and as long as they were not Han people who were officials in the Qing court, they could not enter the inner city. Relatives and domestic servants of Han Chinese officials were allowed to enter, but someone had to prove it.
The gifts given by Wang Xinyu could not be sent to the inner city where the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia and the traitors lived, but could only be sent to the outer city outside the Zhengyang Gate, as well as outside the city. Two notices were posted on the streets of the outer city, in the alleys, on the walls of shops, on the walls of houses outside the city, and on the trunks of trees.
Why two notices? Because since it is a big gift sent to the capital, it must be added, otherwise it will not be grand enough. Another proclamation is an imitation of the Seven Hatreds of Nuer Hachi, which is called the Seven Hatreds of the Manchus.
The Seven Hatreds of the Manchus read:
The first hatred: The Ming Dynasty took in Nu Hachi back then, but Nu Hachi did not drink water and think of the source, but took revenge and rebelled.
The second hatred: Houjin slaughtered the Han people in Liaodong, entered the customs and plundered, robbed the Han people of countless wealth, and robbed countless Han people, in order to fill the cloth of slaves and supply the slaves of the Houjin.
The third hate: I thought that entering the customs in the name of revenge for the first emperor was really a bad heart, absorbing the support of the Han people, and trying to make me a big country. After killing the son of the first emperor, it is Ye Gong Haolong who avenges the first emperor.
The fourth hatred: the Tartars invaded the south of the Yangtze River, the beast was furious, Yangzhou ten days, Jiading three massacres, killing people like hemp, blood everywhere, it is still appalling to hear, making people angry!
The fifth hate: shaving my hair and making it easy to wear, ruining my Chinese clothes, destroying my Chinese culture, since then China has become a barbarian, and the heroic soul of the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties has been cut in half.
The sixth hatred: The Manchu nobles stook the land, the children of the Eight Banners parasitized the Han people, ate the people's fat and ointment, indulged in prostitution, and enjoyed themselves, while the people mourned all over the wilderness.
The seventh hatred: prohibit the sea from moving the border, re-seal and encircle, and prohibit coastal residents from going to sea. The people who moved to the border abandoned their ancestral homes, lost their hometowns and lost their land, rushed away, inhabited in the wilderness, and died in the hundreds of thousands. The ban on the sea has greatly destroyed agriculture, fishing, skills and overseas trade, and the livelihood of the people has been cut off and displaced.
A total of more than a dozen members of the Heaven and Earth Association are posting announcements.
Before dawn, some people from the Heaven and Earth Society learned to crow roosters, which caused the roosters around to crow in unison. The Qing army defending the city was woken up, thinking that it was already dawn, so they opened the city gates.
The people of the Heaven and Earth Society took the opportunity to sneak out of the city. Outside the city, there were already people waiting for fast horses. The people of the Heaven and Earth Society got on the horse and did not go directly to the south, but they quickly whipped their horses and went straight to the outside of the pass.
After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, most of the Manchu people moved to the customs with their clothed slaves, and there were thousands of miles of people outside the customs, and it was the New Year, and no one paid attention to the fact that someone was detouring from outside the customs. The members of these Tiandihui passed through Liaodong and entered Korea, and after arriving in Korea, they boarded ships and returned to Fujian.
The envoys sent by Zheng Jiajun to North Korea also brought back a batch of Korean silk, ceramics, and a batch of treasures such as Korean ginseng, Dongzhu, mink, and deer antler velvet for Zheng Jiajun's export.
By the time the Qing court reacted and sent Kuaishou and the army to arrest the "criminals", the people of the Tiandihui had already run away without a trace, and the Qing court did not know that they had fled outside the Guanwai.
Hong Chengchou's mansion in the capital, Hong Chengchou was sixty-eight years old at this time, and his eye disease was becoming more and more serious. A year ago, Hong Chengchou, who suffered from an eye disease, had to leave Kunming Jinglue Mansion and return to the capital to recuperate.
Hong Chengchou, who suffered from severe cataracts, was almost unable to see at this time, but he had a loyal heart to the Qing Dynasty. Hong Chengchou knew that after the Qing Dynasty, he left behind an infamy through the ages, and even his mother, his original wife, his younger brother and the clansmen in the family were ashamed of him.
Hong Chengchou leaned back on the recliner and closed his eyes to recuperate, but the past came up little by little and appeared in front of him.
In the fourth year of Shunzhi, Hong Chengchou sent people to welcome his mother into Beijing for thousands of miles in order to show his filial piety, wanting his mother to come to the capital to enjoy happiness. Who knew that after his mother came to the capital, she gave him a cane.
At this time, he realized that his mother went thousands of miles to Beijing just to beat herself.
But after all, it was his mother, and in order to show filial piety, Hong Chengchou built a luxurious mansion in Quanzhou, named Hong Mansion. However, none of the family members wanted to live, and relatives and friends regarded it as a great shame, and the huge Hong Mansion was empty.
In order to let his mother live, Hong Chengchou asked his younger brother to persuade him. Who knew that his younger brother built a boat in the middle of the river, took his mother to live on the boat, and swore that "his head will not stand on the sky of the Qing Dynasty, and his feet will not step on the ground of the Qing Dynasty." Even his original wife felt humiliated and angrily shaved her hair and moved into a nunnery.
is already a traitor, Hong Chengchou referred to by Qianfu, can only be a traitor even more desperately, his greatest wish is that the Qing Dynasty can survive forever, and all Han people will become slaves of the Manchu Dynasty, so that no one will talk about him anymore.
However, the Manchu government did not treat him well, and despised him very much, calling him a second minister, and he didn't even want a title, which was not as good as the traitors of King Sanshun and Wu Sangui. In real history, until after the death of Shunzhi, Kangxi succeeded to the throne, Hong Chengchou begged cheekily, in fact, the ruling Zhaosheng Empress Dowager gave him a third-class Ada Hahafan title, which is only equivalent to a low-level title such as the light car commander of the Ming Dynasty, and even the prince and boy did not go up.
Hearing that the emperor was sick, Hong Chengchou was depressed: I see that I am about to dominate the world, and I am left with Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Huangyan and Li Laiheng, who do not know how to raise the throne, are still resisting. At this critical moment, how could Banzai Ye fall ill? The princes of the Long Live Lord are all young, if something happens to the Long Live Lord at this time, those pseudo-Ming remnants don't know when they will be completely eliminated. The one who appreciates Hong Chengchou the most, in addition to the previous Huang Taiji, is Shunzhi.
Sony, Suke Saha, Suppilon, and Aobai didn't like Hong Chengchou very much, and when they saw that a Han person could become the strategy of the five provinces, they were naturally blushing.
Hong Chengchou didn't know that outside his mansion at this time, the guards and housekeepers were arguing.
"No! This can't be seen by the master! The old man is not in good health, and he is angry, can you slaves afford it? The butler said firmly.
The captain of the guard said: "Butler, paper can't contain the fire, this matter has been in an uproar in the capital, if you continue to hide the master, when the master knows about this matter from the emperor, won't you blame us?" ”
The butler thought about it carefully, and felt that what the captain of the guard said was very reasonable, so he said: "Then let's do it, I'll take this in and give it to the master, alas! I hope the master can't see this thing clearly, otherwise I will be angry and sick, and I can't afford it. ”
The housekeeper took the New Year's gift from Wang Xinyu, walked into Hong Chengchou's study, knelt on the ground nervously, raised the New Year's gift above his head, and presented it with both hands: "Master, there were thieves last night, and this morning, the people found this." I heard that this matter spread throughout the capital! ”
Hong Chengchou opened his gray, cloudy eyes and accepted the New Year's gift. But he couldn't see what was written on it, even the picture on the paper looked vague, and he vaguely saw a man being tortured.
"Bring the glass piece that Nan Huairen sent." Hong Chengchou said.
The butler chuckled in his heart, but he still carried out the order honestly and went to fetch a magnifying glass.
Hong Chengchou picked up the magnifying glass and thought: This Taixi thing's thing is indeed a good thing! My old eyes are dizzy, and with this transparent glass piece, I can see things clearly.
Watching Hong Chengchou carefully look at it word by word with a magnifying glass, the housekeeper's heart rose to his throat. He was worried that Hong Chengchou would suddenly be furious, and then spit blood from his mouth and collapsed. Who knew that Hong Chengchou finished reading it, but he didn't get angry, nor did he tear up the letter to the world, but he looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahaha!" Hong Chengchou laughed, "The thief is at the end of his rope, and he wants to stimulate the old man with this technique!" Hahaha! The thief Yu is blazing, and Yu is killed quickly! This is a thief dying and struggling, what a tooth! ”
Seeing that Hong Chengchou was not angry but laughed, the housekeeper was relieved.
In fact, Hong Chengchou was very uneasy in his heart, Qiongzhou was lost, the Qing army general Gao Jinku was killed, and Wang Xinyu issued a letter to the world. Shang Kexi, King Pingnan, can you hold it down? Does the imperial court want the old man to go to the south again? If Shang Kexi can't suppress the puppet Ming anti-thief Haikou, the old man really has to go to the south again and establish an indestructible foundation for the Qing Empire!
"You go down first!" Hong Chengchou asked the housekeeper to step back first.
"Wow!" The butler retreated.
Hong Chengchou leaned back on the recliner, his eyes slightly closed, but his heart was already full of ambition. From pacifying the Jiangnan massacre of a large number of anti-Qing righteous soldiers to marching to the southwest to defeat Li Dingguo, Hong Chengchou made great contributions to the Qing court. His combined use of suppression and suppression, with support as the main and suppression as a supplement, recruited many Southern Ming generals, so that the Manchu Qing could smoothly enter the south of the Yangtze River; After serving as the governor of the five provinces, he gave priority to ensuring the supply of grain and grass in the southwest, and seized the opportunity of the domestic strife between Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo to defeat Li Dingguo.
But the southwest has been pacified, and something big has happened in Guangdong!
Although Hong Chengchou left Yunnan and returned to the capital because of eye disease, Shunzhi let him recuperate at home. However, he wore the official hat of a university sergeant on his head, and he mingled in the court every day. Hong Chengchou has heard of Guangdong's ineffective eradication of anti-thieves. In May last year, the imperial court gathered the sailors of the five provinces to exterminate Zheng Re, but Shang Kexi and Wu Liuqi only sent a few broken boats to save their strength! If it weren't for their inaction, would Qiongzhou have been lost?
Regarding what Wang Xinyu said, if he wants to put himself on the pillar of shame, this Hong Chengchou doesn't care at all, anyway, he is already a traitor, what if his name is engraved on the pillar of shame? Anyway, after he goes to Guangdong, he will definitely be able to drive Haikou away from Qiongzhou. As for what pillar of shame the pirates want to erect in the wild land of Luzon overseas, let them go.
Just when Hong Chengchou was full of ambition and ready to go to the south again, his wish really came true.
Wu Liangfu went to Hong Chengchou's house and told him that he would be summoned by the Long Live Lord.
"Lord Hong, the matter of Guangdong Haikou is known in the court! Long Live Lord was seriously ill, but Long Live was still furious when he knew about it, and Long Live Lord summoned Lord Hong into the palace overnight to discuss the affairs of the south. Wu Liangfu told Hong Chengchou. That incident was already in an uproar in the capital, and Fan Wencheng and other Hanchen people were panicked.
