Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

"Did the thirteenth elder brother really say that?" Yide, the governor of Hebei who was born in Zhengbaiqi in Guangping Prefecture governing Handan County, checked Yinzhen's letter with a puzzled expression, and then agreed to the envoy. "Go back and tell Lord Thirteen, please rest assured, the food will be prepared here immediately, and it will be shipped early tomorrow morning, but will there be robbery by the sea on the way?"

"Lord Yi, you can relax, the master has already sent Kaifeng Town and Luanzhou Town to meet him in Ci County and the Zhang River." The envoy's face softened when he heard Yide's promise to raise food, and then he said everything. "As long as the food here in Quang Binh is sent there, you don't have to worry about the rest."

"That's good, that's good." After perfunctory the grain raising officer sent by Yinxiang, Yide immediately invited his master. "Friend Liu, that's what happened, but I always feel evil. Why did Ba Ye suddenly return to Beijing, and he left in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to say hello to the people below? Also, although I don't know the art of war, I also know that there is a tendency to divide the troops to defend, and withdraw all the soldiers from the battalion in Shili Town to Anyang. Isn't this letting Haini surround Zhangde Mansion? Brother Thirteen heard that he was also a person who led soldiers, so why did he say so? Would it be so unwise? And this raising of grain, even as long as the grain is not asked, isn’t this clearly asking for a place to grab food from the people’s homes? It’s not that the thirteenth master doesn’t know that there are no soldiers in the place, Once chaos breaks out, how do you suppress it? You can’t suppress it, it’s the chaos of the people, his way out, his way of food.”

Yide couldn't go on talking anymore, he already had a premonition, but he couldn't believe it, let alone say it.

Yide has taboos, but Mr. Liu does not. He, Mr. Liu, eats Yide's meal, not the Qing court's meal, so this loyal employer, Mr. Liu, said without any scruples: "Boss, things are not right. Wonderful, Brother Thirteen, this is a plan to turn the defense into a defense, if there is no mistake in the front line, I am afraid I will not be so decisive."

"What kind of big mistake will make the thirteenth brother make up his mind to die with the city, what kind of big mistake will make the eighth brother escape directly to Beijing." Master Liu said this, and persuaded Yide earnestly . "Boss, big changes are coming, you have to think more about yourself at this time."

Yide walked back and forth in the house for a few steps, and said dejectedly: "I am a bannerman, a decent Manchu. At this time, if I don't die for the Qing court, is it possible that I can escape to the ends of the earth?"

Mr. Liu nodded: "The master is right. Even if you abandon the city and flee now, how far can you escape? The Xia army is sweeping in, even if you escape into the countryside, you can only hide for a while but not forever, unless you are planning to escape in the Taihang Mountains." Be a savage here."

This is a bit strange. Before Yide could figure out why Mr. Liu was inconsistent, he heard Mr. Liu reveal the answer: "But if you just want to live, it's not impossible."

Yide's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What can I do? Please friend Liu to save me!"

"Dedicate the city!" Master Liu said decisively. "As long as the owner is willing to donate the city to Huaxia, among other things, at least the lives of the young and old of the He family can be guaranteed. If luck is good, some things outside of the body can also be saved."

"Offering the city!" Yide looked at Mr. Liu in surprise. If the person in front of him hadn't been brought out from Shanxi ten years ago when he was Zhizhou, he would have thought that the other party was an undercover agent sent by Huaxia by his side. Still full of suspicion, he emphasized. "I'm a Manchurian, can Huaxia spare me just because of dedicating the city?"

"It's because you are Manchurian that you have more chances to live." Master Liu pointed out. "The emperor of Xia must want to embrace the universe and the world, so he will not be satisfied with taking back the old place of the former Ming Dynasty. At that time, he will have to send troops out of the Kanto. At this time, you, the master, are the signboard. Look, the real manchus will be as long as they surrender. There is a way out."

Yide slapped his thigh fiercely: "That's right, that's right, that's not the case. Concentration is the first thing in everything. If you can take the Guandong and receive Datong without bloodshed, it's not impossible to keep my life."

But as soon as Yide turned around, his face collapsed again: "But I am not the only one who has the final say on Xiancheng. Guangping Mansion is also full of Eight Banners, and Guangping Town is also full of Eight Banners. If they are loyal, I am afraid that things will not only come true." No, it’s time to die.”

Mr. Liu laughed. He understood the character of this boss very well, and he kept saying that he wanted to celebrate the Qing Dynasty, but in the end, his nature was not revealed, and he was still afraid of death. Of course, Mr. Liu would not laugh at Yide, Firstly, he is an employer, so he can eat people with a soft mouth, and secondly, he is the only one who dies through hardships through the ages. If the matter is on his own head, then his performance may not be as good as Yide.However, I think so, but Master Liu must have done the job, otherwise, if the generals of the Xia army who attacked the city indiscriminately killed Tufu, he would also pay for his life.

Therefore, Mr. Liu suggested: "This matter is also simple. In the name of discussing how to raise food, invite the government, county, and Guangping Town to discuss the matter. Let's see their reactions. If not, then act first.”

Yide thought about it for a long time, and felt that this was the only way to do it, so he sent someone to call the prefect of Guangping, the prefect of Tong, the judge of Tong, the magistrate of Handan, the magistrate of the county, and even the arresters of the two prefectures. The general, the general, and the only two leaders were also invited over. In front of them, Yide explained the whole story, and showed them Yinxiang's warrant, saying that Yinxiang The urging envoy is resting nearby, if you don't believe me, you can invite him to come and give an edict in person.

With Yinxiang's warrant, of course there is no need for an envoy to show up again, but more than one person objected to this order, thinking that it was fishing in a dry marsh, and they were afraid that the food would not be obtained by then, but they would force the Guangping government to rebel, which would be a disorderly order; Even Duofu, the commander-in-chief of Guangping Town, and Liu Guofang, the general in charge, also said that they were powerless to suppress the possible civil uprising; If you don't understand, you have to do it.

Seeing a lot of sullen faces pondering what is wrong with this matter, Yide threw out what he and Mr. Liu were thinking about: "My lords, it is estimated that Daqing will not succeed, Thirteenth Lord This is also the will to die, and the big guy is reluctant to do his last loyalty to Daqing."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the audience was startled, and Duofu, the commander-in-chief of Guangping Town, stuttered and asked, "Tu, Mr. Yi, you guessed it right, it's only been a few days, and it's just, it's collapsed in front of it? "

"I'm just guessing, believe it or not, it's up to you." Even so, Yide threw another blockbuster. "But as far as I know, Eighth Lord, Eighth Brother has already returned to the capital."

With a buzzing sound, there was a commotion in the room. Although the local officials could not get in touch with the affairs of the central government, everyone knew that Yinhu was ordered by Kangxi to resist the Xia army. What does it mean to return to Beijing without purpose? It shows that the situation on the front line has become extremely bad, and Yinhu had to flee back before completely collapsing.

While trembling, Qin E said: "Yes, is it possible that the emperor is dissatisfied with the crown prince and asked the eighth master to go back to succeed the crown prince? This, such a case, also makes sense."

"Impossible! Impossible!" Before Yide could speak, Duofu, who was considered an old soldier, denied it first. "The crown prince is in charge of the frontline military affairs. No matter how stupid the emperor is, he should not change his generals, let alone shake the crown prince's position at this moment. Then, there is no need to fight, and the Qing Dynasty will be finished."

Hearing what Duofu said, all the people present turned ashen. Yes, no matter from the explanation, the Qing Dynasty is finished, so what should I do as a courtier of the Qing Dynasty?Immediately, two of them fainted in the room, but luckily none of them were important people, so Yide asked Geshha to carry them to the wing to watch.

"It stands to reason that everyone is a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. If the Qing Dynasty is over, everyone should be loyal to death. In this way, I will not stop you. I have prepared rope and poisoned wine here. If you want to use it, follow Wu Go to the next door for patrolling." Yide said while watching the reactions of the people present, and the result made him very satisfied. Although the eyes of all the people present were dull, their buttocks seemed to be glued to the chair, sticking to the chair. No one got up. "Of course, the thirteenth elder brother is still blocking the front. The sea counterattack has not yet attacked, and the big guy still has time to escape." After saying this, many people's eyes brightened. "It's just that the world is so big that there is no room for me anymore."

Yide looked at the crowd with a half-smile, half-cry, and said: "Huaxia will not give the Qing Dynasty a chance to make a comeback, and will definitely pursue and fight fiercely, unless you can escape to the outside of the customs before the Xia army arrives, and flee to Mobei Go, otherwise, even if you escape back to your hometown, Xia Jun will dig three feet to find it."

Yide said and shook his head: "It's not that I don't believe that you can escape in time, but it's so difficult in such a chaotic situation!"

Zhao Shengzhi, the magistrate of Guangping Mansion, listened to Yide talking about Xia Jun and Huaxia, and a burst of understanding came to his mind, so he interrupted and said: "Fantai probably already has an idea, I will wait for my plan, and I will ask Fantai for advice." A way out."

Yide nodded at him in satisfaction: "Two ways, one is to escape into the Taihang Mountains and become a savage, I guess Xia Jun will not be able to find you for a while, the other way is to sacrifice the city!"

The sound in the room rose again, and Duo Fu scolded: "Lord Yi, we are Manchus!"

"What happened to the Manchus? Do the Manchus have to be buried for the Qing Dynasty?" Yide asked back. "What a big lord, there are medicinal wine and ropes, why didn't you choose just now!"

Duofu suddenly became dumb. Seeing Duofu's appearance, Eqin said, "Master Yi, can you guarantee that if we surrender, Xia Jun will definitely give us a way out?"

"Yes, definitely!" Yide repeated what Master Liu told him. "Now it's up to the adults."

"Me!" Eqin looked at Yide's frighteningly bright eyes, and his body softened. "I choose Xiancheng."

Yide looked at Duofu again: "How old is your lord?"

Duofu reached out to touch his waist, but when he came to discuss the matter, he was wearing an official uniform, and he didn't have any weapons by his side. Having lost his support all of a sudden, he had no choice but to say with a dazed expression, "I also choose Xiancheng."

Now that several genuine Manchurians have chosen Xiancheng, what else is there for others to say? Therefore, Yide immediately asked everyone to put their names on the begging letter, and when they put away this piece of paper that brought everyone's spirit After the paper, he said: "The lords who have been wronged will stay in the official yamen to rest, Sun Bazong and Deng Bazong, please issue an order to temporarily hand over the military power to the people around me, and I will arrange it later. Together with Chen and Sang, the two head-captors, they maintained order in the city. In addition, someone came to settle down Shisanye’s urging envoy. The Xia army is here, and it will be of great use.”

In the 14th year of Huaxia Wucheng and the 51st year of Kangxi, on August [-]th, the Guangping Mansion changed its gate silently, and neither Qingxia nor Qingxia knew about it.Yinxiang also sent people to urge him repeatedly because the food in Guangping and Shunde had not arrived, but they never returned. Yinxiang was alerted, but it was too late, and the Xia army had already bypassed Ci County Appeared at the foot of Guangping City, and immediately accepted the surrender of Yide and others.At this point, the retreat route of the Zhangde Qing army was completely closed, and Yinxiang had no way to retreat

postscript:

300 years later, a TV crew found a few words of Yide's descending summer from the pile of old papers, and then found the village where Yide's descendants lived, preparing to shoot a TV program "The Last Manchu". But they are the descendants of Yide, Duofu, Eqin and others who have been completely sinicized
