Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 114 The Pingjiang Riot, Third Prince Zhu and Obai Rebelled Together! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

It was late at night, and the governor of Jiangsu, Mu Tianyan, who had just returned from a dinner party in the Humble Administrator's Garden, was sitting in the brightly lit lobby of the Governor's Office of Jiangsu, and Zuo Yuanyang, a general of the Jiangsu Fubiao Chinese Army. The two discussed the matter of arresting the "Third Prince of True Zhu" Wang Yongkang.

Just this afternoon, Mu Tianyan's superior, Jiangsu Governor Ma Hu's Naren's constitution card, had been sent from Jiang Ning on a fast horse.It is also specifically stated on the charter that we must try our best to get the living!He also said that if the third prince Zhu is indeed true, he must treat each other with courtesy to show the mighty grace of the emperor!
It is a bit difficult to catch the living ones and still need the emperor's grace.

But now Mu Tianyan, who is nursing the governor of Jiangsu, is a capable official, just by looking at his name, you can tell how capable he is - admire Tianyan!

In order to give his son a good name, Mu Tianyan's father really went all out and changed his surname!Mu Tianyan's ancestral surname was Murong, the "Gusu Murong" Murong, his ancestors were also emperors.This can all be changed, and Mu Tianyan's father is really filial.

But the effect of this surname change is really good!

Mu Tianyan. When the emperor sees these three characters in the list of tributes, he will be deeply impressed!
Although when Mu Tianyan's father named him, the Tianyan that wanted to "Mu" was the face of Emperor Tianqi, but Emperor Xiaomazi and the previous Emperor Shunzhi still admired this name very much.

Therefore, Mu Tianyan's official fortune is much better than that of ordinary Han officials.His Jinshi ranking was not high, but he was released as the magistrate of Qiantang County, Zhejiang Province in the second year after high school. He passed the selection and alternate all at once, and he didn't give too much money.After that, his official career was even more smooth sailing, he was promoted immediately when his salary was full, he was elected in seconds, and he was quickly replaced as a substitute. After more than ten years in office, he was already the chief minister of Jiangsu. Be a filial son.

Of course, Mu Tianyan's rise to the top is not just because of his name, but also because of his ability.He is particularly good at catching rebels. When he was the county magistrate in Qiantang County, he killed dozens of rebels who were entrenched in the mountains.Later, when I was an official in various places, I could always catch some rebels who opposed the Qing Dynasty.However, there were also times when he missed. When he was an official in Fujian, he was sent to Dayuan Island on the opposite bank to trap Zheng Jing-to trick Zheng Jing into surrendering!But Zheng Jing is "fine", otherwise can he be called "Zheng Jing"?Moreover, his grandfather Zheng Zhilong's richest man in the world was lost by the Qing Dynasty, and he was killed in the end. How could he be deceived again?

But this miss did not affect Mu Tianyan's official career, and he was promoted from Fujian Xingquan Road to Jiangsu Chief Envoy not long after!According to the usual practice, Taoist priests have to be promoted first to inspector, and then to chief executive, but Mu Tianyan was skipped one level, and even jumped directly to Jiangsu, the richest place in the world, to be chief executive. ah!
And in order to repay "Ma En", Mu Tianyan also went all out. After getting Ma Hu's constitution card today, she came to "deep into the tiger's den" and asked Wang Yongkang Ming'er to come to the governor's yamen to play mahjong.

"Zuo Canrong," Mu Tianyan tapped her finger on the desk triumphantly, and ordered to a strong man in his 30s with a bearded face, "that third prince Zhu has already fallen into the trap of this official." Guess, I will come to the Governor’s Yamen tomorrow morning for an appointment. I will detain him in the Governor’s Yamen! You will lead five hundred soldiers into the Humble Administrator’s Garden and capture the wife of the Third Prince Zhu. The wife of the Third Prince Zhu is the daughter of Wu Sangui , looks quite stout, seems to have some martial arts skills, and may resist with weapons, but you still have to try to catch them alive.

In addition, Wu Sangui also sent a general named Wu Yuanyi and dozens of personal soldiers to protect the third prince Zhu. You'd better catch them all!To prevent them from escaping from the Humble Administrator's Garden to contact the party members of the Third Prince Zhu. "

When it comes to Prince Zhu's henchmen, Mu Tianyan couldn't help frowning.

There must be some followers of the Third Prince Zhu, and there are quite a few of them!Otherwise, where did so many anti-books come from during this period of time?During this time, the seven prefectures of Jiangning, Suzhou, Changzhou, Songjiang, Zhejiang, Yangzhou, and Huai'an all reported the discovery of a counter-book called "The World is Public"!

This is not to quietly hide at home and have a small-scale exchange of counter-books, but to print thousands of copies and distribute them everywhere!Some people even printed some excerpts of them as notices and posted them everywhere.

What's more, some people made up a ballad of "Welcome the King of Ming Dynasty" and sang it everywhere.The ballad Mu Tianyan still looks familiar, what is it about "Seeking promotion in the morning, seeking harmony in the evening, it is difficult for Han children to survive these days. Open the door early to worship the king of Ming, and the king of Ming comes to divide the land"

Is this King Yingming or King Yingchuang?

The people in the Yamen of the Jiangsu Provincial Prosecutor's Office went crazy because of this group of rebels who suddenly appeared, arresting people everywhere.But all the poor people who were arrested were illiterate, and they themselves didn't know what the books and leaflets were about.All they know is that someone paid them to do something.As for the mastermind behind the scenes, that would be difficult!Because the clues discovered by the Yamen of Jiangsu's procuratorate all point to "people in the northern army"!
Many of the green battalion soldiers in the Liangjiang area have backgrounds from the former government army or rebel army, and some of them are relatively close to Wu Sangui!
And since Oboi has already voted for Wu Sangui, even the garrison of the Eight Banners cannot be said to be completely safe.
How does this make Jiangsu inspectors investigate?
In fact, even Zuo Yuanyang, a member of the Jiangsu Fubiao Central Army who is currently discussing with Mu Tianyan about arresting the third prince Zhu and his henchmen, is not completely reliable. Although he is a banner member, he is the grandson of Zuo Liangyu generation.He was still a child when he followed Zuo Menggeng to join the Qing Dynasty, who knew whether he would accept it or not?
"Fantai, don't worry! I have already sent people to surround the Humble Administrator's Garden. Even if it is kept in custody, not a single fly can fly out." Zuo Yuanyang looked quite reliable at the moment, patted his chest and assured , "As for the little girl surnamed Wu, she is a girl after all, no matter how good her martial arts skills are, how many can she fight? The humble custodian will arrest her for you."

Mu Tianyan nodded: "Okay! Zuo Canrong, tomorrow is the time for the two of us to make contributions! Work hard, if we succeed in this matter, the commander-in-chief and deputy will be no problem!"

When talking about "deputy general and chief soldier", Mu Tianyan's eyes were also shining with anticipation and excitement. The capture of Wu Sangui's son-in-law and third prince Zhu this time is not only a great achievement, but also a certificate of honor!
If nothing goes wrong with Ming'er's arrest, he will be the emperor's "own man", not to mention the governor, the governor can be expected.

But according to the natural law of "Heaven fails to fulfill people's wishes", if there are no accidents, there must be accidents!

And the first surprise is that Wang Yongkang is also afraid of the third prince Zhu!This was really a surprise. Although the important figures in Liangjiang's official circles already knew that he was the third prince Zhu, he himself was kept in the dark.

No one told him this!

Moreover, Wu Yuanyi, the bodyguard sent by Wu Sangui these days, also reported to him that there were suspicious figures around the Humble Administrator's Garden all the time, and someone suspected to be the third prince Zhu wanted to kidnap him!

Well, although this Wang Yongkang is worthless in Wu Sangui's eyes.But Wu Yuanyi and his own sister, even Wang Yongkang's wife, thought he was pretty good.

This guy is good-looking, he can read and write, he listens to his wife, he is also good at communication, he is quite familiar with people in Liangjiang official circles and Suzhou Shilin, and he is quite good at doing business to make money—— Wu Sangui's son-in-law's signboard, can this business still lose money?

In short, this Wang Yongkang is an advantage, and he cannot be captured by the third prince Zhu.

So when she went out today, Mrs. Wu asked her elder brother Wu Yuanyi to bring thirty strong servants to protect Wang Yongkang and came to the Governor's Yamen.

Well, a large group of armed servants came to the governor's yamen to protect Wang Yongkang.

And that "very reliable" Zuo Yuanyang, although his chest was slapped last night, he lost his chain this morning. Instead of notifying Mu Tianyan, according to the original plan, he assigned the tasks of surrounding and attacking the Humble Administrator's Garden to the subordinates—he just had to complete his own tasks, and nothing else mattered.

And another accident, of course, happened in the shop close to the governor's office in Jiangsu.

This shop is very spacious, it can accommodate hundreds of people!Chen Yonghua and Chang Mingyue's most confidant subordinates, as well as the people led by Wang Dapao, were called over one after another yesterday afternoon, and hid in the business hall to settle down.Just waiting for the riot moment to come!
And now, it's time!

A hundred or so martyrs were waiting quietly in the courtyard of the commercial hall.They are all strong and strong men, most of them are in their 30s. Some of them are veterans of Yanping Fan brought by Chen Yonghua; others are subordinates of Chang Mingyue and Zhang 21. "Run to four"!These people were carefully selected, and almost everyone had a blood feud with the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty ruled in the southeast for only 20 years, and just ten years ago, soldiers with the surname Guo came from the sea to the river. It turned over at one point.

And the people of that generation who had a deep hatred with the Qing Dynasty are still alive, and some of them even occupy the mountains, forests and islands, and continue to resist the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, everyone is wearing a red cloth robe and a red turban, and the eyes are shining with the light of revenge!

Zhu Cijiong, the third prince of Zhu who had already put on a yellow cloth robe and a red hood, came out of the house, followed by Chen Yonghua, Chang Mingyue, Wang Zhongyi (Wang Dapao) and He Tianran with a beard.

Except for He Tianran, everyone else wore yellow robes and red scarves. He Tianran wore the cloth face armor of the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banners and Eight Banners soldiers, and also wore a gun helmet. His beard and braids were dyed white. , His eyebrows were also dyed white - he is also an "actor" like the third prince Zhu, and he is going to play the grand master Ao Bai Ao!
The third prince Zhu and "Oboi" just stopped on the steps of a hall, and three yellow flags were erected behind them.

A big "Ming" character was embroidered on a flag, and there were two lines of small characters on both sides, which read "Expel the Tartars and restore China" and "Equalize the fields and divide the land to open up peace"!
On one of the flags, there are six big characters embroidered with the words "Third Prince Zhu of the Ming Dynasty".

There is also a banner with the words "Daming Oboi" embroidered on it!
Well, the third prince Zhu and Oboi are actually standing together, and together they are going to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!

Do you think this is unexpected?Surprised or not?

Third Prince Zhu was so surprised that he was a little speechless, his lips murmured for a while, and then he managed to make a sound: "You are all loyal to my Daming! It was Daming who betrayed you and the people of the world. He regards the people of the world as the masters of the world, and does not regard himself as the guest of the world, so that he has Jiashen Tianqing!
Originally, the Ming Dynasty failed to govern the world well, so it was only natural for the country to be subjugated and the surname changed.But the difficulty of Jiashen is the sky, it is the death of the world!Benevolence and righteousness are full, and as for leading beasts to eat people, people will eat each other, which is called the destruction of the world!
After the Manchu Qing Dynasty established the Dingding in Beijing, the world already existed, and it was enough to be the emperor of China.Even if you run a family like my ancestors, are you afraid that you will not be rich for 300 years?But they are going to perish our world. Hair shaving, clothes changing, relocation, massacre, over the past 20 years have killed countless people, Yangzhou Ten Days, Jiading Three Massacres, Guangzhou 72 Days, Nanchang Massacre, Chaozhou Massacre, The massacre of Anping, the massacre of Sichuan. How many prosperous towns have been turned into white land!How much rich land is almost barren.Even today, the out-of-boundary lands along the southeast coast are still being massacred by Qing soldiers from time to time!With all these things, he simply regards the people of the world as enemies!

Shouldn't such a Manchu court reverse it? "

"Reverse! Reverse! Reverse!"

The people in the yard and the Man Qing had bloody feuds. If they dared to come to Suzhou, they would turn it upside down. At this time, they were incited by the words from the heart of the third prince Zhu. Of course, everyone was furious and wished to fly away immediately Beijing beats the Forbidden City.

At this time, Chen Yonghua, the commander-in-chief of the "Pingjiang Riot", stood up, raised his right hand high, and the people below fell silent.

Chen Yonghua said: "Jiangsu Governor Ma Hu has already taken away more than half of the Qing soldiers in Suzhou City, and now Suzhou is empty. This is the opportunity for me to make a big fuss in Pingjiang Mansion and make a name for Tiandihui and Third Prince Zhu in one fell swoop! Remember, our The purpose is just to make a fuss, not to occupy the city, nor to rob property. So after dark, we have to disperse, go out of the city if we can, and hide in a designated place in the city if we can't. Ruixin Church is waiting outside the Suzhou branch, and someone will contact you!

Do you know what to do if you are caught unfortunately? "

"Know! Kill yourself!"

The people below replied without hesitation.

Chen Yonghua nodded and waved his hand: "Riot. Start, let's go!"

Following Chen Yonghua's order, a hundred or so righteous men picked up the guy, set up a banner, and left the gate of the business hall.After a while, a group of red-headed yellow robes appeared on the bustling Hulong Street between Jiangsu Governor's Yamen, Changzhou County Yamen, and Fubiao Chinese Army General's Mansion, holding bamboo guns and muskets. The crotch sword, still under the banner, is carrying the "black pot" rebel.

Yes, that's right, with the flag of "Third Prince Zhu" and the characters "Ao" and "Ming", Daming Dafang went to the governor's yamen, spreading leaflets and singing ballads while marching in line!

"The court seeks promotion, and the evening seeks harmony. It is difficult for Han children to survive these days. Open the door early to worship the king of Ming, and the king of Ming comes to divide the land"

At this time, the street was quite lively, with businessmen coming and going from north to south and ordinary people wandering around, they were all dumbfounded seeing this scene.

What is this for?Do you sing?

People who don't understand still ask!

"What are you talking about? What are you singing?",

"We are rebels! We belong to the third prince Zhu, and now we are going to fight Mahu, the dog-killing officer in the governor's office!"

Someone really answered!

"What?"

"rebel, rebel"

"Just you guys? Too few?"

"It's not good, the third prince Zhu is rebellious! The third prince Zhu is here!"

"The third prince Zhu has entered the city, run away quickly!"

"Third Prince Zhu can't be beaten by many officers and soldiers, so it's important to escape!"

Immediately, people from Suzhou began to boo!

It doesn't matter if you coax together, there is still a "Third Prince Zhu" on Hulong Street!It is Wu Sangui's cheap son-in-law Wang Yongkang.At this time, he was riding a horse and walking slowly on the street under the protection of Wu Yuanyi and a group of servants.

Wang Yongkang heard someone yelling in Suzhou dialect, "The third prince Zhu is rebelling! The third prince Zhu is here!" He hurriedly turned his head to look, but at a glance he saw a big flag with the word "Ao" fluttering in the wind and a man wearing a yellow bunting under the flag. The visor, the old man with the white beard riding a tall horse.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yongkang immediately thought of "Oboi"!
When he fixed his eyes again, he saw the "Third Prince Zhu" flag behind the "Ao" flag!
This is Oboi and the third prince Zhu rebelling together?
Wang Yongkang has also heard some rumors that Oboi has defected to Wu Sangui these days, of course he doesn't believe it.How could it be possible for Aobai to mix up with his father-in-law Wu Sangui?His father-in-law is a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty who supports the army and respects himself. What can Oboi do if he takes refuge in him?Fight against the Qing Dynasty together?This is impossible!

And this matter caused him a lot of psychological pressure. After all, if this matter is really done, his current good life will come to an end, and he may even have to move his head!

So now when he saw "Oboi" and the third prince Zhu together, he immediately thought that he could clear up the grievances of his father-in-law, Lao Taishan, so he didn't care whether that Oboi and the third prince Zhu were true or not, and didn't find out. How many people are there in this group of suspected rebels?They booed together: "Oboi, the third prince Zhu. They rebelled together!"

When he shouted, he immediately attracted the attention of that "Oboi", that is, He Tianran.He Tianran followed the voice and saw Wang Yongkang, the dog official!
Wang Yongkang was wearing a military officer's robe, a straw hat with a sapphire crown on his head, and a group of green battalion soldiers beside him, most likely the Chinese army generals who were the governor of Jiangsu!
What a coincidence!Capture the thief and capture the thief king, as long as he is killed, the Qing soldiers in Suzhou City will be leaderless!
Thinking of this, He Tianran was not polite. He yelled "Wow!" He raised a self-fire pistol at Wang Yongkang and pulled the trigger, firing the first shot of the "Pingjiang Riot"!
