Nanming Yiming

Chapter 2 The Young Hero Xia Wanchun

The "brother-in-law" Xia Wanchun in front of me has to be said to be a real young hero!

Xia Wanchun, whose childhood name was Duange, had an alias Fu, and his character was preserved in ancient times, and his name was Xiaoyin, also known as Lingshou.A native of Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, a poet in the late Ming Dynasty and a hero against the Qing Dynasty.

Xia Wanchun's father, Xia Yunyi, was a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River.The teacher Chen Zilong, a general who resisted the Qing Dynasty.He was intelligent since he was a child, "knowing the Five Classics at the age of five, and poetry at the age of seven", and he joined the army at the age of 14 to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

In the first year of Hongguang, his father Jiangnan led the army in a fierce battle. After the defeat, he committed suicide and died for the country. Xia Wanchun and Chen Zilong continued to fight against the Qing Dynasty, but they were defeated and captured by traitors.

After Xia Wanchun was arrested, he talked and laughed freely in prison.The poem I wrote since I was arrested and imprisoned is called "Nanguancao".

Following his father's collection of political essays "Continued Survival Records", he analyzed the reasons for the fall of the Hongguang regime and had excellent insights.

On September 1647th of the first year of Yongli (October 10, 16), Xia Wanchun died heroically in the west of Nanjing City. civil and military title".

When he was about to be executed, he stood and did not kneel, and his expression remained unchanged. The executioner was trembling and dared not face him. After a long time, he took a knife and cut it through his throat.

If history has not changed, my family will be beheaded on September [-]th.

In any case, all of this must be changed, at least to save his life first.

It turned out that Hong Chengchou knew that Xia Wanchun was a well-known "child prodigy" in the south of the Yangtze River, and wanted to use softening methods to make Xia Wanchun succumb.He asked Xia Wanchun, "I heard that you wrote a memorial to King Lu. Is there such a thing?"

Xia Wanchun raised his head and replied, "It's my handwriting."

Hong Chengchou pretended to be gentle and said: "I don't think you will rebel at such a young age. You must have been instigated by others. As long as you are willing to return to the Qing Dynasty, I will do it for you officials."

Xia Wanchun pretended not to know that Hong Chengchou was sitting on it, and said sharply: "I heard that there was a Mr. Hong Hengjiu (Hong Chengchou's word Hengjiu) in my dynasty.

I admire his loyalty.Although I am young, how can I fall behind him if I sacrifice my life to serve the country. "

These words made Hong Chengchou laugh and cry, sweating profusely.The soldier next to him thought that Xia Wanchun really didn't know Hong Chengchou, so he reminded him: "Don't talk nonsense, Master Hong is sitting up there."

Xia Wanchun let out a "bah" and said: "Mr. Hong sacrificed for the country, everyone in the world does not know. Emperor Chongzhen once set up a sacrifice in person, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty mourned for him. How dare you traitors pretend to be martyrs and insult loyal souls!"

After finishing speaking, he pointed at Hong Chengchou and kept cursing.Hong Chengchou was so scolded that his face was livid, and he dared not continue the interrogation. He slapped the gavel and ordered the soldiers to pull Xia Wanchun out.

This is the beginning of the scene.

There are only two ways to save his life right now: either persuade Xia Wanchun to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, or persuade Hong Chengchou to release him.

Xia Wanchun had already offended Hong Chengchou badly before, and this eternal ridicule will surely be passed on to future generations. Old thief Hong was extremely generous in not executing this kid Ling Chi.

Then the only thing left is to persuade Xia Wanchun, but looking at Daddy Cheap's heroic determination to die, and thinking about Xia Wanchun's heroic and unyielding spirit in history, it seems that it is more difficult than persuading old thief Hong.

Of course, when it is really a last resort, I still have the last way to go: leave the cheap father and cheap brother-in-law in front of me, and surrender alone!

Looking at the young man covered in bruises outside, I still couldn't bear it after all, although as a modern person, I don't have much feeling for the so-called loyalty to the emperor and patriotism;
But in the face of the big differences between Hua and Yi, since I have come to this era, I must try my best to change all this!
Daming hasn't died yet, and China won't die either!
Even if it's just to save the young hero in front of him, he has no hesitation!

"Daddy, do you have any valuables around you?"

The old man dug out a finger wrench from the straw under him, and handed it over!

After taking the finger and examining it carefully, this finger is actually the best Burmese jadeite, and it is still full of green waxy ice, but it just brought a lot of cotton, but people in this era pay more attention to color than to planting, which is somewhat different from the standards of later generations. different.

It's a pity that antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times, this priceless finger ring may not be as good as an ordinary gold ring in the eyes of these prison bosses!
"Brother prison chief, please come over and have a discussion!"

"They're all about to be beheaded, why are there so many things going on?"

It seems that the prison boss didn't take advantage of it, even though he was cursing, he still walked over in a hurry, what's the matter?

"Look, his head is about to be beheaded. My brother-in-law is still obsessed with his obsession. Children are ignorant. If I can put him back in prison, I can persuade him to change to the Qing Dynasty." !
"This is my family's heirloom. The finest Burmese green jade is worth thousands of gold. Please accept it!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say, scholars know etiquette, you have to persuade this stinky boy, if you can switch to my Daqing, the governor will not only save your family from the death penalty, maybe you will be promoted to the ranks!"

"Mo'er, how can this be?" The old man complained from the side.

"Father, this is an expedient measure. How can I persuade Xiaoyin (Xia Wanchun's name Xiaoyin), but I can't bear him to suffer this torture again. We all have to be loyal to Daming, so what's the use of keeping these extraneous things?"

After a while, the cell boss called two of his subordinates to take Xia Wanchun back to the cell!
