The "cannonball" in Yao Yingmeng's mouth did not fly for long, only more than half a month. But when it fell, they realized that there was no way to hide and it was "too late".
More than half a month later, when the anti-bandit army announced that the prisoners of the Taiwan Navy could settle their wages and go home, more than 90% of the prisoners knelt down and asked to join the anti-bandit army.
Seeing such a situation, Yao Yingmeng had to admit that the "storyteller" and "story" of the bandit suppressing army were really good.
Let me first talk to you about the various great and proud achievements made by the Han Dynasty. Then let's talk about the misfortunes of the Han people as "two-legged sheep" when the Han people were invaded by foreign tribes. There are also some tragic stories interspersed in the middle, which makes people feel depressed. Then he turned to talk about how unfair the people were living and how they were bullied by the Manchus.
In addition, the officers of the bandit suppression army also brought some people from Fujian to tell them about the injustice of the Manchus. They even invited many captive soldiers to come on stage to talk about the injustices they knew or had actually witnessed.
Being from the same hometown and having the same pronunciation, the credibility is even more undoubted.
What do you want?
What can you do with your life?
Everyone has different ideas. But even Chen Qiyu had to agree with what the bandit-suppressing army Junzheng said.
what do you want? I want to live a better life for myself in the future, and I want my descendants to live a better life.
Do you want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country?
But, is this "jun" your "jun"? Is this "country" your "country" again?
Are you going to continue to help others in your life? Help the Manchus continue to ride on the heads of their compatriots and dominate the heads of their descendants? Or should we take up swords and guns to create a bright future for future generations?
No matter how bad the bandit-suppressing army is, it is still the king's army of the Han family. Everyone can see what kind of person Sixth Brother is.
At that time, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty cared about his own people until his death, and hoped that the rogue Li Zicheng would not hurt his own people.
But what about Nurhachi of the Qing Dynasty? All day long, he advocated preferential treatment of Han people as "Nikan", but the people below massacred millions of Han people in Liaodong without even paying a few buckets of food.
The land that enclosed the Han people was divided among the Manchus, and the Han people were captured as slaves to support the Manchus.
Does it really regard the Han people as its own people? These are the records left for future generations from the expedition to Fusang, Japan in the late Ming Dynasty.
Look at these, Yangzhou Ten Days, Jiading Three Massacres, Jiangyin Eighty-one Days, Datong Massacre, Guangzhou Massacre, Sichuan Massacre...
Obviously, Chen Qiyu came to his answer after struggling for a long time with the question of the integrity of the bandit suppressing army.
Half a month later, Chen Qiyu knelt in front of Yao Yingmeng and kowtowed several times to express his gratitude for his kindness. Then, he cut off the braid on his head and officially joined the navy of the bandit suppression army.
Regarding Chen Qiyu's approach, Yao Yingmeng didn't know how to persuade him. I had no choice but to leave him alone.
In fact, put aside your own concerns and selfishness. In the face of various evidences from the bandit-suppressing army, Yao Yingmeng himself wanted to join his family's bandit-suppressing army.
It was the beginning of June, the twenty-first year of Qianlong's reign.
Beijing Bauhinia City
The sky, which had been raining heavily for an entire hour, had just cleared up. At this time, the air is filled with water mist, giving people a refreshing atmosphere.
Qianlong had just come out of the concubine's house in Zhuang Yiyuan. The courtyard was full of green leaves, rockery and flowing water, and the scenery was picturesque.
Under the guidance of a group of eunuch guards, Qianlong got on the sedan chair and headed to the Yangxin Hall.
Recently, bad news about the war in the south has been coming one after another. Qianlong, who was sitting on the sedan chair, had to worry a lot recently.
Qianlong saw Fu Heng's ability.
Regardless of his performance in the Battle of Jinchuan or the recent battle with Zhungar, Fu Heng was very satisfied with himself.
However, his confidant and beloved general, the first-class loyal and brave Duke Fu Heng, still had no ability to force Kuanglan to stop his rebellion. This made Qianlong somewhat dissatisfied with Fu Heng.
"It is really unexpected that scabies in the south has become a serious problem. It seems that the two slaves Yang Yingju and Sitku must have neglected their duties." Qianlong thought to himself. At this time, these two people had their names in Qianlong's heart.
West Nuan Pavilion, Yangxin Hall
Smoke curls rose from the lit incense burner and filled the entire Xinuang Pavilion. The breeze comes slowly, bringing with it the refreshing air after the rain.
At this moment, Qianlong was sitting on the main throne and saw the large and small military aircraft Jingzhang in the military aircraft department.
"Nayantai, is there any military information from the south today?" Qianlong asked Nayantai, the minister of military aircraft who was kneeling in Zhaojian.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, today there is an urgent letter from the south six hundred miles away." Nayentai lowered his head and raised his hand to receive the military information and said.
"Pass it up!" Qianlong ordered.
"嗻."
Nayentai slowly stepped forward holding the military information and handed it to Qianlong.
Nowadays, the imperial court's war in the south has become increasingly tense and it has been retreating steadily. In recent days, Qianlong had executed several eunuchs and maids because of trivial matters. Nayentai did not want Qianlong to worry about trivial matters.
Qianlong picked up the military information in his hand and looked at it, then he folded it up and threw it on the table in front of him and said angrily:
"What the hell is this? Is there no one in our Qing Kingdom who can stop these dirtbags?"
From the unclosed military memorial, we can probably tell that it talks about the capture of Wuchang by the bandit-suppressing army.
Hearing Qianlong's scolding, Nayantai knelt on the ground carefully and kept silent, waiting for Qianlong's other instructions.
"Nayentai." Qianlong suddenly asked.
"The slave is here..."
Nayentai didn't dare to hesitate and replied hurriedly.
"You go and draw up a decree and ask Fu Heng to find out whether Min Rui, the governor of Hunan and Hubei, has died for his country. If Min Rui has really died for his country, let the court discuss the matter of posthumous title Min Rui." Qianlong sighed and said.
"Come on, I'm here to take the order." Nayentai answered skillfully.
"At the same time, draft another letter. Ask Fu Heng to keep the rebel blockade in Huguang at all costs, and absolutely not allow them to escape into Jiangnan Province. They will cause harm to Jiangnan and affect the court's tax revenue." At this time, Qianlong ordered again road.
At this time, Qianlong couldn't help but not worry, after all, the tax burden of the former Jiangnan Province was too important to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Because of this, the former Jiangnan Province was divided into three provinces. If the rebels enter the former Jiangnan Province and cause trouble, even if they are pacified, it will cause great damage to the empire's purse.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Nayentai continued to answer with his head lowered. His tone was completely calm, without any waves.
Nowadays, the servants of the Eight Banners in the Qing court are just sycophants and flatterers. Qianlong saw the rise of Hanchen and was worried in his heart. If Han officials continued to grow stronger, could the Qing court still belong to the Manchus?
Because of this, Qianlong was quite pleased to see the calm posture of this Mongolian Zhengbai Banner slave. After all, this is one of the Mongolians he is most optimistic about.
At least Qianlong felt that he had a good eye for seeing people, including seeing the rebellious heart of the rebel group early on. It's a pity that the rebels were not killed in advance, giving them the opportunity to cause trouble.
