Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 116 Although we can't beat Obai, we can still lie to the emperor! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
A bright and eye-catching red flag and a yellow flag embroidered with the words "Ming" and "Expelling the Tartars and restoring China" and "Equalizing the fields and dividing the land to make peace" were hoisted together on the two large flagpoles in front of the Jiangsu Governor's Yamen, facing the The southeast wind is blowing, as if telling the people of the entire Suzhou city——I, Ming Dynasty, is back again!

At the same time as the flag was being raised, the shelling and bluffing of the governor's yamen continued, and the sound of crackling gunfire continued. In the "department room", the books, manuscripts, and furniture inside were all set ablaze, and thick smoke quickly rose from the burning house.At first glance, it looks like a fierce battle is going on.

The governor's yamen in Jiangsu covers tens of acres of land, with hundreds of houses of various sizes. The officials, clerks, and servants who work in it, and the soldiers stationed there are more than a thousand.It is very difficult to capture the entire yamen with a hundred or so insurgents, so Chen Yonghua's plan is to create panic and drive away those corrupt officials.

In fact, the purpose of Wang Zhongxiao asking him to carry out this "Pingjiang Riot" in Suzhou was not to seize the city of Suzhou.That is simply unrealistic. How could it be possible to occupy the entire city of Suzhou with just a hundred people?To be able to create a great chaos, it is enough to start the golden signs of Tiandihui, the third prince Zhu, and Daming Oboi.If we can also publicize the Tiandihui's propositions of "expelling the Tartars and returning to China" and "equalizing the land and dividing the land to create peace", it will definitely exceed the task.

However, the "overfulfillment" of the "Pingjiang Riot" this time is indeed a bit too much!
It may be because Ma Hu, the governor of Jiangsu Province, was a little sloppy in his administration of the military and administration, and he did not seriously rectify his pacesetters. In addition, he himself did not sit in the governor's office, and even Mu Tianyan, who was the nursing governor, had just come from Fujian to take up the post. , and the people in the governor's yamen and the pacesetter generals of the governor of Jiangsu are not familiar with each other, so they can't control the situation at all.

As a result, Mu Tianyan only retreated temporarily to avoid the shells, and was regarded by the pacesetters as "the nursing governor ran away"!You nurse governor is gone, what are they doing?run too!
And this group of soldiers is bad enough, in order to make their running look more reasonable, while running, they keep their eyes open for the third prince Zhu and Daming Oboi.

"It's not good, the third prince Zhu and Aobai are calling!"

"It's not good, Oboi is powerful, he can't beat him!"

"Defeated, defeated, run for your life!"

"There are rebels everywhere, run away!"

Well, there are a total of one hundred and one rebels, and they are all over the place in one go.

As soon as they bluffed, the other pacesetters in the yamen, including scribes, masters, messengers, servants, and Ma Hu's family members, etc., all panicked.

Everyone is not afraid of the third prince Zhu, but Oboi is the number one Batulu in Manchuria!And now he has taken refuge in Pingxi King Wu Sangui Manchuria's No. [-] Batulu Sishe Wulu is the No. [-] ruthless person in the Qing Dynasty, and Wu Sangui is probably the second ruthless person in the Qing Dynasty. Now the two ruthless people have merged and even hit Suzhou. Now, where can I fight, let's run quickly!
All the people in the governor's yamen ran away, and there came a "official defeat like a mountain"!
Mu Tianyan, who was carried away by two Goshhas, was taken aback. If he was just a chief envoy, he would be fine, but now he is nursing the governor of Jiangsu!The governor is a minister who guards the land, and has the responsibility to guard the land, so what's the matter if he abandons the government office and flees?Looking back, the emperor pursued it, no matter how much he "admired Tianyan", he had to go to Caishikou to make a red mission that never came back.

But he can't help it now, even if he roars his throat, he can't stop his defeat.And he just opened his throat, but he couldn't utter a sound, because he didn't have the courage to face Oboi, the number one warrior in Manchuria. Besides, this Oboi used the cannon very unscrupulously!

So now Mu Tianyan knew the helplessness of those local officials in the Ming Dynasty when the city was broken by the Qing Heavenly Soldiers. She could only cry and was pushed out of the governor's yamen from the back door by the subordinates, and ran towards Suzhou Fuxue in the south.

"Mr. Qian, Mr. Qian. Don't run away, don't run away!"

Mu Tianyan lost the governor's yamen inexplicably, and at the same time she escaped to Suzhou Prefecture, Wu Yuanyi who lost Wu Sangui's son-in-law Wang Yongkang was dragged away by his servants.

At this time, he had already fled to the top of the stone arch bridge on a river west of Jiangsu governor's yamen—this was fast enough!He really deserves to be the second generation of Guan Ning, and the ability passed down from his ancestors has not been lost.

"Don't run? How can you not run? If you don't run, the third prince Zhu and Aobai will kill you!" Wu Yuanyi turned his head and gave the servant who was pulling him a look, "You little fan, do you want to kill me? "

That Ding's surname is Fan, and his single name is Yang, he is also the second generation of Guan Ning, but his father is not a soldier for Wu Sangui, but a clerk in the general army's office, so he is also literate, Also rather slippery.Hearing Wu Yuanyi's words, he laughed: "Mr. Qian, you forgot where we are from?"

"We." Wu Yuanyi was taken aback, "We seem to be in the same group as Obai and the third prince Zhu!"

This guy finally remembered that he was from there!

But after thinking about it, he realized something was wrong again, "Then why did Aobai shoot my brother-in-law with a gun?"

"Oboi doesn't know my uncle," explained the servant named Fan Yang, "my uncle is wearing the official uniform of a third-rank military officer. He might think that my uncle is a general in the Chinese Army serving as the governor of Jiangsu!"

"That's right, the participating general is also a third grade." Wu Yuanyi figured out what was going on, and immediately became nervous again, "Who won? Who won now?"

"Of course we won!" Fan Yang pointed in the direction of the governor's yamen, and said loudly to Wu Yuanyi: "Mr. Qian, look at the thick smoke billowing from the governor's yamen, and the flags on the two big flagpoles have also changed. It was shot down!"

Wu Yuanyi looked in the direction he was pointing at, and he saw a bright red flag fluttering in the wind over the Governor's Yamen. At the same time, he also saw the flames and the rising black smoke.He pricked up his ears and listened carefully again, but he didn't hear the roar of artillery and crackling gunshots, and even the shouts of killing stopped.

This shows that the battle in the direction of the governor's yamen is over, and the third prince Zhu and Obai have won the victory!
"Hahaha!" Wu Yuanyi laughed loudly, "It turns out that we won the battle." At this point, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, "If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have run away, Xiao Fanzi, it's okay for us to escape victoriously like this." Did it work?"

"What's the merit? Can running away count as meritorious service?" The surname Fan rolled his eyes, and he already had an idea, "Mr. Qian, we can't tell the third prince and Aobai that we just ran away."

"What do you say?"

"Just say that we are going to help kill the Tartars and fight the Qing soldiers!"

"Fight Qing soldiers?" Wu Yuanyi was taken aback, "Where do we go to fight?"

Fan Yang stretched his neck and looked around, then pointed to the west side of the river, the Suzhou prefect's yamen, which was across the river from the Jiangsu governor's yamen, "Mr. Qian, why don't we go and take down the Suzhou prefect's yamen!"

Wu Yuanyi pondered for a while, then nodded heavily: "Okay, let's go and take down the Yamen of the prefect of Suzhou! Now that the governor's yamen is lost, the people in the yamen of the prefect must be panicking!"

As he said that, he drew out his waist knife with a "clang", pointed at the Yamen of the prefect of Suzhou, and shouted: "Brothers, the prince's army will arrive soon, and now is the time for us to make meritorious deeds and follow me!"

"Hey" the people below shouted together.

"No!" Wu Yuanyi roared again, "yes! Now we are fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes! Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty!"

"Everyone shout with me: King Pingxi, Taishi Ao, anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty to Suzhou, to Suzhou!"

"King Pingxi and Taishi Ao have come to Suzhou against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty."

Thirty servants who followed Wu Yuanyi also drew their knives, and rushed down the stone arch bridge together, screaming loudly, towards the Yamen of the prefect of Suzhou.
There are no pacesetters guarding the yamen of the prefect of Suzhou. There are only three classes: masters, scribes, and Zao, Kuai, and Zhuang.

How can the remaining Zaoban and Zhuangban beat the servants of the Pingxi clan led by Wu Yuanyi?And they were also in chaos. They all saw the governor's office on fire and changed flags, and they all heard the sound of cannons, gunshots, and shouts of killing!

And their magistrate is not in the mansion. And they were called to play mahjong by Mu Fantai, the nursing governor, and now they have probably become loyal!
The master is gone, so why do they fight?So seeing Wu Yuanyi bring these dozens of "Heavenly Soldiers" brandishing swords and yelling "Pingxi King, Ao Taishi, anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty to Suzhou" to kill them, they all knelt down, they knelt down, they didn't run away!

They are servants and not masters. Those second, third, fourth and fifth ministers who are masters are doing happily. Can they be expected to be loyal to Kangxi?Who is this job for?So this gang of public servants opened the yamen, welcomed Wu Yuanyi and Fan Yang in, and even praised the official seal of the prefect of Suzhou, which can be regarded as a successful completion of the handover of local power!
After taking down the Yamen of the prefect of Suzhou, the resourceful Fan Yang suggested that Wu Yuanyi put up a banner to prove that he had turned against him, so as to avoid misunderstandings later.

However, it took time to make the "Ming" banner, so he suggested making a red flag, and volunteered to bring a few "anyway" Zaoli into the backyard of the magistrate's yamen, detain the old and small wives of the prefect, and force him to Then they sewed a big flag out of the red silk cloth in the back house.
Then, a red flag was hung on the big flagpole outside the magistrate's office—these two "temporary rebels" didn't know what the red flag meant?But the red flag is eye-catching!From a distance, you can tell who is with whom.

And their "temporary uprising" behavior soon triggered a chain reaction in Suzhou City.

"Joining the army, joining the army seems to have captured the yamen of Suzhou prefect!"

Inside the governor's yamen of Jiangsu, Chen Yonghua was about to lead his people to take advantage of the chaos to retreat when he suddenly heard a piece of good news that surprised him.

"What? There are still people from us in Suzhou City?" The Third Prince Zhu next to him regained his energy, and immediately looked back at Chen Yonghua with a look of anticipation—it seemed that he had found a sense of rebellion!Maybe the trace of rebel blood passed down by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di remaining in the veins has been awakened!
Chen Yonghua didn't remember this arrangement, he rushed to the gate of the governor's yamen together with the reporter, and saw the red flag flying over the magistrate's yamen on the other side of the river from a distance.

But he still quickly understood what happened?
It must be the heroes of Suzhou who raised their troops to respond!
"I didn't expect there to be anti-Qing and Ming-minded people hidden in Suzhou City!" Chen Yonghua immediately felt greatly encouraged, "Then let's not withdraw for the time being!"

"Not withdrawing? But our" "fake Oboi" He Tianran has already taken off his clothes, even the cloth mask of the Zhenghuang Banner, and is holding a Qing cavalry coat in his hand and is about to put it on— —When you retreat, you have to put on a disguise and change your identity.

And Wang Zhongxiao had already assigned them the status of the "Xiaozhan New Army" cavalry co-soldier, not a false identity, but a real identity!At that time, just say that Wang Fuchen sent them to protect Wang Zhongxiao. Anyway, private use by officers and soldiers is nothing new in today's Qing Dynasty.

"Let's go and occupy a few more yamen!" Chen Yonghua said, "Let's go and take down the Fubiao General's yamen first, and then go to the Changzhou County Yamen, the Chashi Yamen, the Suzhou Weaving Yamen, and the Buzhengshi Yamen."

"Chen Canjun, after we conquer Suzhou, do we want Suzhou to rebuild the Ming Dynasty?" The third prince Zhu came together for some reason, with a look of excitement on his face!It seems that he can't wait to become Ming Xiandi.After more than 20 years of precarious life, the third prince Zhu is the one who understands the happiness of Emperor Han Xian best.

When he was a child watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he thought Cao Cao was a treacherous official, but after the Ming Dynasty was gone, he knew the happiness of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and the goodness of Cao Cao!And now he feels that Chen Yonghua looks like he has the potential to be Cao Cao
It's a pity that Chen Yonghua was not dazzled by the victory. He shook his head and said: "The number of you is too small to keep Suzhou. So after taking down the chief minister's office, he changed clothes in the chief executive's office, and then went to Changmen Get out."

"Okay." Third Prince Zhu was a little disappointed, but as the "Alternate Ming Xiandi", he still had to listen to Chen Yonghua, the "Great Ming Cao Cao". Moreover, he was still young, only in his 30s, and he still had time.

Chen Yonghua nodded, and told the left and right: "Don't change your clothes yet, let's go to the Yamen of Fubiao Shenjiang!"

"Yes!"

Hundreds of heroes around shouted in response.

South of Suzhou City, Suzhou Fuxue.

This school near Shemen has now become a sanctuary for officials in Suzhou!Because Suzhou is the resident of Jiangsu Governor’s Yamen, there are many Yamens in Suzhou City. In addition to the Governor’s Yamen, there are also the Governor’s Yamen, the Inspector’s Yamen, the Suzhou Prefecture Yamen, the Changzhou County Yamen, and the General’s Yamen.

In addition, there is also a large group of alternate officials from Jiangsu Province who also live in Suzhou City, and they go to the governor's office in Jiangsu to listen to them every day. To do it, of course, is to do it for nothing and have no money to get it.Because they are only helping the governor's yamen during the waiting period. Can you be ashamed to ask for money?Besides, even if they wanted it, Governor Mahu wouldn't give it to them!
And the Jiangsu "official Bailao" this time was really miserable. Not to mention that the officials didn't make up for it. They even met the third prince Zhu and Aobai and rioted in Suzhou, even taking away the governor's yamen.Although the big guys were quite agile, they were not hacked to death by the rebels led by Third Prince Zhu and Aobai, and they all fled to Suzhou Fuxue with Mu Fantai, who was nursing the governor.

But what about their officials?
Seeing that Jiangsu Province is about to be in chaos!Do these alternate officers still have a chance to fill the vacancies?You must know that they have paid a great price for the current candidate!I won’t talk about studying hard in the cold window, but in order to be sent to Jiangsu as an alternate official, you have to pay a lot of money to the officials of the official department. Otherwise, the official department will let you go to Yunnan to serve Wu Sangui as an alternate?Will you go to Gansu to eat sand as an alternate?The candidate officials who can be placed in Jiangsu, except those who have a special face or have a particularly rich family, who is not a loan shark?
Now that Jiangsu is in chaos, the money they spent before may be wasted, and the loan sharks they carry have to be repaid. This official is a blood loss!

And this is not even worse, what's even worse is that Daming Oboi will soon bring the Ming soldiers to catch them, the upright officials, and kill them in vain!
The bad news was brought back to the lobby of the Suzhou prefecture by the police sent by the prefect of Suzhou to inquire about the news.

"Report that the magistrate's yamen has been breached by Oboi, and the red flag is flying in front of the yamen!"

"Reporting to Fubiao Shenjiang in front of the Yamen, the cannons are rumbling, and the smoke is billowing!"

"The red flag is fluttering in front of the inspector's yamen, suspected to be occupied by Oboi!"

"Report that Changzhou County Government has fallen!"

"A red flag appears above Baochang Gate!"

"Report, the chief envoy's yamen has been breached"

Mu Tianyan sat blankly in the lobby, listening to the announcements, she felt like dying!

Oboi is really too powerful, it's almost crushing!In less than half a day, all the yamen in Suzhou Prefecture were breached one by one by Oboi's men. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the whole city falls!
What to do then?
Thinking of this, Mu Tianyan is about to cry!

But the officials guarding the hall of the government school, Bailao, were more sad than him. Before he could cry, that group of people had already cried together.

"What should we do? Suzhou is going to be lost, how can we be officials?"

"Yeah, 20 years of hard study, and [-] years of candidate candidates. I haven't even been a county magistrate yet. Why did Oboi turn the other way?"

"Wuuuu, Oboi's rebellion, the province of Suzhou is in chaos, how can I pay off my Beijing debt?"

"I can't pay it. It's important to save your life! When Aobai calls, we will all die!"

There are still people who know the seriousness, Mu Tianyan followed the voice and saw that he was an alternate official from Hunan, named Chen Jian, with sharp eyes and a serious expression, he was also a Jinshi, but his family was rich and big landlord!So don't care about the money to buy officials, the most important thing now is to save your life.

"Chen Jianzhi, you have a lot of ideas, what do you think I should do now?" Mu Tianyan was in a mess now.

It is impossible to hold Suzhou. Manchuria's No. [-] Batulu has come in, how can he hold it?If he has this ability, he still uses "admiration for the beauty of the sky"?
"Fantai!" Chen Jian shouted loudly, "Although you lost the city of Suzhou, you fought hard to win the Third Prince Zhu!"
