The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 719
Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo and other traitors are full of confidence.

They immediately carried out this real and fake estrangement plan, and personally took their servants to gallop to Gaizhou port to visit the Ming merchants who came to trade in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

The high-ranking officials of the Manchu and Qing dynasties spoke blatantly about obeying the General Zhenglu as the emperor. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty would not believe it, but they all took it as a joke.

Who knew that they were actually entrusted to hand over the imperial decree sealed by Emperor Chongde of the Manchu Dynasty to each captain. This was the content above. How could the captain and sailors not believe it?
In order to alienate and expand the influence, Emperor Chongde issued dozens of imperial edicts with unified content.

The captains and owners of dozens of Ming merchant ships that were transported to Shengjing by land at the port of Gaizhou all received a request to pass this imperial decree on to the General Zhenglu.

The sailors who heard the news were all shocked. As soon as a group of Manchu Han officials left, they gathered around the captain and listened to him laughingly reading out the content of the imperial edict.

Knowing that Jiannu is now in such a state that even the emperor dare not do it, and wants to give up his position to General Zhenglu, all the Han people are elated.

The sailors, of course, told this fresh tale to all they could meet.

Within a few days, the news that Jiannu was going to go to the title of emperor and intended to obey the general of the Ming Dynasty to become emperor spread in Tianjin Wei, Huxue City, and Shanhaiguan.

After the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" heard the news and saw with their own eyes the puppet Emperor Chongde of the Manchu and Qing succumbing to softness and wanting to obey the imperial edict of the head of the family, most of them were extremely excited.

Ever since, this time the "Red Banner Army" not only failed to refute the rumors in the first place, but also became an active member of spreading rumors.

Because they were also talking about it, some couldn't bear the excitement, and even wrote letters to their parents and wives about the good news that the head of the family might ascend the throne as emperor.

Soon the military and civilians in the system knew about such a good thing, and many people and businesses even set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Huang Han brought a happy life to the system, Shengdou Xiaomin is simple, they are willing to see the patriarch become their own emperor.

This time, the speed at which the rumors spread was astonishing. In early February, the rumors had already spread throughout Northern Zhili and expanded to Shandong and Shanxi.

Everyone in the capital knew about it, and even a teahouse storyteller was able to recite the order issued by the puppet Emperor Chongde of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to abdicate and follow the imperial decree of Huang Han as emperor.

Both civil and military officials in the Ming and Manchu Dynasties knew that this was undoubtedly a plan to divorce Jiannu, but because of the reasons for the incident, this was no longer a conspiracy, but a complete conspiracy.

Liang Tingdong, Zhang Fengyi, Yang Sichang, Zheng Zhihui, etc. could not laugh or cry when they heard the news. Although the plan of building slaves is a joke, anyone with a discerning eye knows it is just a divorce, but it is disgusting enough!
What is the virtue of Emperor Chongzhen, these officials and eunuchs dare not say it, they are like a mirror in their hearts, they are ruthless, ungrateful and self-willed, killing ministers is like killing chickens.

Don't look at General Zhenglu's current glory, if one day he loses his military power, I'm afraid not only he will not end well, but also the fate of his family will be hard to say.

Huang Han is now working in Zhangjiakou, and his office is located in a confiscated mansion.

This house is a real estate purchased by Fan Yongdou in Zhangjiakou. In order to show the demeanor of the number one businessman of the Fan family, this house is as beautiful as a palace except for the different regulations.

Many people were needed in the gate of the mansion, and after being identified by the banner guards who had infiltrated the Fan family, more than half of the original maids and servants in the mansion were retained.

These people follow the Fan family just as part-time workers, not the core layer, so they cannot be said to be loyal to the Fan family.

Shanxi merchants were known for their harshness, and most of the maids and servants who sold themselves as slaves hated their employers from the bottom of their hearts.

Now that he has changed the owner and served the General Zhenglu, not only is the situation of being beaten and scolded basically eliminated, but the income has also increased a lot, and the food has also improved a lot.

Therefore, Huang Han took eight personal guards, Huang Ang, Li Zhien, Shi Xian, Xu Erlu, Mao Chengdou, Liu Gangyong, Yang Jiuming, and Huang Yusheng, who had been studying with him for more than a year.

When I brought the confidential secretary team led by Xu Miaoru and Gu Jixiang, one of the three hundred or four hundred young guards from the guard camp, to check in, the maids and servants were very attentive and everything was in order.

Among the eight young guards, Yang Jiuming and Huang Yusheng were from Jiulitai Village. They grew up listening to the stories of the "Red Banner Army" killing Jiannu and Tartars.

The hundreds of people in Jiulitai Village are the biggest beneficiaries of the rise of the Huang family, and their loyalty is impeccable, but all the teenagers in the family, regardless of gender, are enrolled in the new school.

The two children, Yang Jiuming and Huang Yusheng, graduated from elementary school in three years and middle school in three years. Because of their excellent character and learning, and because of their good roots, they were selected to be gilded by the head of the family.

Liu Gangyong also graduated from middle school, and he is still one of the few top students with riding skills. The main reason is that he often practiced riding and fighting with his elder brother Liu Fenyong in the army.

The two guards, Xu Erlu and Mao Chengdou, are even more special. Xu Erlu is a scholar of the Ming Dynasty. Among the eight, his foundation in Sinology is not weaker than that of Huang Ang, who has been enlightened to read the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child.

His grandfather is Huang Han's mentor, Xu Guangqi, who taught, educated and researched science and technology in Huxue City University after retirement.

It was Xu Guangqi's idea to bring his youngest grandson from a well-known academy in Songjiang Prefecture to study in Huxue City.

Seeing that his grandson fell in love with Xinxue and longed to travel across the ocean, Xu Guangqi made the decision to send Xu Erlu to his apprentice Huang Han as his personal guard.

As the children of the Xu family and the Sun family in Songjiang Prefecture began to study in the new school, dozens of Jiangnan teenagers followed them to study in the University Hall of Huxue City.

Originally, these people came here to study here because of the well-known "King of South Xu and North" Xu Guangqi and Wang Zheng who taught here, and later they were attracted by the teaching content here.

Because the teaching here is not false, what is taught is real knowledge, even the field survival skills in military class are magic weapons that can save lives.

The content of the new study is extensive, not boring, practical and attractive, which directly leads to more Jiangnan students coming here.

I believe that in the near future, stereotyped selection of scholars will become a thing of the past, and at least the local officials of the "Red Banner Army" system will be selected from among new graduates who have social practice.

Mao Chengdou is Mao Wenlong's only son, and Mao Chenglu never forgets his adoptive father.

After the imperial court gave Mao Wenlong a vindication, Mao Chenglu sent his confidant to Hangzhou to pick up Mao Chengdou, who had studied in the academy for five or six years, and sent him to the Huxue City University Hall to study in middle school.

The personal guards around Huang Han are the key training objects, and the "Red Banner Army" system is well known.

Seeing Mao Chengdou graduating from middle school, in order for his adoptive father's flesh and blood to stand out, Mao Chenglu specially asked General Zhenglu to open the back door in the first month of last year, which was exactly the same as Shi Daxuan.

Knowing that Mao Chengdou is the son of the hero Mao Wenlong, and that this child is excellent in character and learning, of course Huang Han wants to stay by his side and carefully train him.
