Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 26
In winter, there is a rare sunny and windless day here in Guangdong. Liu Dapao practiced light weight kung fu for about half an hour in the morning. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely. A beautiful little girl of sixteen or seventeen came over with a basin of hot water and a hot towel, and wiped his sweat with her plain hands.

After wiping off the sweat, another little maidservant brought breakfast, which were crispy mooncakes, crystal clear shrimp dumplings, delicate plain noodles, and fried fish cakes. He packed up the bowls and chopsticks and left, leaving only him and Mrs. Chen lazily in a daze in the yard, admiring the flowers.

Liu Dapao even lit a homemade cigar. The taste is definitely not the same as the cigars of later generations, but because the complete and dry fermented tobacco leaves are specially selected, it is not inferior to ordinary hand-rolled paper cigarettes. , anyway, it is better than directly smoking a big smoking pot, it can be regarded as the savior of his old smoker.

"Sister, your way of smoking is really strange. It is indeed clean and convenient, and it doesn't even smell particularly choking."

Liu Dapao said with a smile: "It's just a little cleverness. Who told me to take it easy? In fact, this business is worth doing. Chaozhou can grow tobacco by itself. Although the quality is not satisfactory, it can be regarded as usable. The fermentation technology is in our own hands, and no one else can imitate it in ten or twenty years. This thing is high consumption, can make a lot of money, and can settle down our brothers in the Tiandihui."

"So you want to use this kind of smoke to open up a new source of income for our Tiandihui?"

"Let's talk about it. After all, smoking is not a good thing. It hurts the body and is addictive. It always feels a little guilty to do this thing. Let's see if this sea ban strategy can be restored. If it can be restored, let the brothers make this foreign product as much as possible. What are the arrangements for today? How about we do two more tricks in a while?"

"However, you can't beat me. Liu Bingquan will come over around noon today, and all the dignitaries in the city will go with him. This is the first time you meet him. It would be bad if you hurt your face."

"Oh, yes, but it's still early at this time, and there is no major matter in the Yamen that I need to deal with. Why don't Madam and I... exchange ideas on the bed?"

"Damn~"

Then the two of them were indescribable again.

Of course he didn't know at this time that a huge political storm had been stirred up by the wings instigated by his little butterfly. Withdrawing the domain, even Kangxi and Xiaozhuang went to the gambling table for him.

But I feel from the bottom of my heart that such a day is really good.

But he couldn't help thinking, if he was really just Liu Xun, and he didn't need to pay attention to such nonsense about anti-Qing and Fuming, and could be the magistrate with peace of mind, that would be great.

Unfortunately, no if.

Even his own wife is well-matched by the organization. In such a tense moment, he still has the leisure to discuss business matters with him while fighting.

"Liu Bingquan expresses you to be the inspector of Guangdong, and Jin Guangzu expresses you to stay~ stay in Chaozhou as the commander-in-chief of this town. Although the final decision rests with the official department, if you want to come, the officials of the official department will definitely consider your own. Opinion, have you thought about where you will go in the future? Ah~ take it easy."

"Ma'am, can't we talk about what's going on in the future?"

"Well~, okay~, but I would prefer you to go to Guangzhou to be an inspector. Right now, the Fuzhou navy is completely wiped out. After this big victory, it can't be said, ah~, it can't be said that the king of Yanping County will counterattack Xiamen again. I'm afraid this Chaozhou If you want to become the front line again, with your identity, you may face many dangers again, those people from Yanping Palace~, I really don’t want to get in touch with them.”

"Grass is a plant."

.........

After the fierce battle, Liu Dapao picked up the remaining half of the cigar, but naturally took over the topic and said, "I would rather stay in Chaozhou as the general soldier."

"Why?"

"If the King of Yanping County really wanted to attack Xiamen again, I would just rise up in front of Chaozhou and help him seize the island (Xiamen was still an island in the early Qing Dynasty). It is better to become a traitor and fight against the Qing dogs day and night than to be an impostor and be in fear day and night."

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen gently hugged Liu Dapao from behind, and put her head on his shoulder: "If one day we are exposed in the future, or if the great cause of anti-Qing Dynasty fails, I would like to be with you like Wang Xing and his wife. Wear a red robe, I wear a wedding dress, in this room you play the piano, I play the flute, set a fire, burn to death together here, and then we will be husband and wife in the ground."

"Ha, this is quite a romantic way of dying, but... After all, our Tiandihui is also a peripheral organization of the Yanping Palace. Why do I listen to you and have a disdain for their Zheng family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could reply, he heard knocking on the door, Lei Zhentian said in a loud voice: "If you two are done, put on your clothes and come out quickly, there is something important to do."

Liu Dapao was very annoyed when he heard the words, hurriedly dressed, and naturally said angrily, "What's the matter?"

"I didn't mean to spoil your nature. I listened to the door for a long time, and I knocked on the door only after I was sure you were done. I was really anxious."

???

"Have you been listening at the door for a long time? Can you give me a little privacy?! Is there something important in the early morning, and it's only a while away?"

"Someone came from above and said that there is something important to tell you, and they are waiting in my room. It is really not easy to neglect."

"No one from above can be in such a hurry, right? Even my master has to let me take care of things when he comes here. Who has such a big face?"

"It would have been better if the elder brother really came here, it's... the Yanping Prince's Mansion has come."

Liu Dapao was taken aback when he heard the words: "Does the Prince of Yanping know my identity?"

"No way, this Fuzhou victory, not only the imperial court was confused, but even the Yanping Palace fought in a muddleheaded manner, and won the muddleheaded battle, the senior brother had no choice but to tell the whole story."

"alright."

Liu Dapao also knew that it was Chen Jinnan's fault, so he straightened up his clothes immediately, and followed Lei Zhentian to meet people, thinking that he would just do a good job and try to restore his identity in the future and be directly transferred to the Prince's Mansion of Yanping County. .

If it is possible to fight against the Qing Dynasty, the regular army following Zheng Jing will always be better than the Tiandihui fighting against the enemy's rear.

If anti-Qing things cannot be done, it will be easier to flee overseas with the help of the Zheng family's relationship, and build a small country on the sea to be the owner of an island.

But as soon as he entered the door, he saw Lei Zhentian sitting in Lei Zhentian's room, an old man and a young man, drinking tea calmly. Before he could say hello, the young man sarcastically said: "Prefect Liu is so big!" What an air, you made me wait for so long."

Liu Dapao was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he heard the old man scold him: "You slave, you really don't know etiquette, and you don't kneel down when you see the second son? Is this how Chen Jinnan teaches his disciples?"

Then Lei Zhentian secretly sent a voice transmission: "This is the second son Zheng Keshuang and his father-in-law Feng Xifan. The senior brother belongs to the eldest son's faction, and they have never dealt with them. They are here to find fault, just bear with it."

　Zheng Keshuang was only two years old at this time in history. In fact, it would be more in line with historical facts to replace this role with Zheng Jing’s younger brothers. But after all, Chen Jinnan and He Tieshou have come out. After much deliberation, I still use Zheng Keshuang, after all, everyone must be more familiar with this product.

　　It is also a historical fact that the internal factions of the Zheng family have many conflicts. The forces integrated by Zheng Chenggong itself are mixed, and Zheng Jing's ability and prestige are far inferior, and they cannot be suppressed at all. Strange thing, let's just think that Zheng Keshuang has been matured for more than ten years.
