In the Jiangnan Governor's Office in Jiangning City, Jiangnan Governor Zu Zepu and Jiangnan Admiral Zu Yonglie, as well as several other ancestral families of the "lie" and "liang" generations, are all gathered in the three halls. , all of them stared at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.
Although these ancestral family members are related to Wu Sangui, they are different from Zu Zeqing. They are not Wu Sangui's "little fans". They don't want to follow Wu Sangui to rebel against the Qing Dynasty... They just want to live in peace and stability. day.
But the problem is that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop!
Someone forced their family to rebel!
What is even more worrying is that none of them dared to expose the person who forced them to rebel to the court, because that person was none other than Aixinjueluo Xuanye, the ancestor of Mayan in the Qing Dynasty.
How to expose this? Could they still expose Xuan Ye's rebellion to Kangxi's superior? It's no use even trying to fold it up!
So now these family members who are forced to board the pirate ship really have no choice...either the whole family hangs themselves together, and ends up "resisting the order and becoming a loyal minister". Or let's rebel together and take refuge with Wu Sangui!
But the problem is...Wu Sangui, an old fox, still hasn't said he's willing to accept them!
Wu Sangui is related to his family, but does this mean that Wu Sangui will unconditionally accept the "Shangdang" given to him by his family? Did Kangxi and Zhou Peigong think Wu Sangui had never read Warring States Policy?
Wu Sangui was familiar with "Warring States Policy" and knew what these two bastards Kangxi and Zhou Peigong were planning!
What if they rebelled and defected to Wu in Jiangnan, Wu Sangui refused to accept them, and Zhu Heji became anxious and wanted to kill them?
"How about we join the Ming Dynasty!"
The speaker was Zu Yonglie, the son of Zu Kefa. He really looked like he had been wronged - he was originally serving as the commander-in-chief of the Han army in Beijing, how happy would he be just hanging around and waiting to die? Now he suddenly became a mere admiral in the south of the Yangtze River... He was said to be an admiral, but he had dozens of gesheha under his command, and even the promotion bid was not his.
According to Emperor Kangxi's edict, all the governors, admirals, and governors of Jiangnan were controlled by Sun Sike, the minister in charge of the Jiangnan camp.
"Vote to the Ming Dynasty?" Zu Zepu glanced at Zu Yonglie, "What to vote for? Do you, the admiral of Jiangnan, have soldiers in your hands to supervise? Our lives are all in the hands of Sun! We want to If you dare to vote for the Ming Dynasty, your head will be moved immediately!"
"Exactly!" One of Zu Yonglie's cousins, Zu Chenglie, who was also born with the word "lie", nodded and said, "I, the prefect of Jiangning, don't even have a strong people, but they are all in the hands of Hong Shiming!"
Zu Zepu sighed: "Not only can we not bring Jinling City to join the Ming Dynasty, we can't even escape by ourselves..."
"Then what should we do? Is it possible that we have to hold on and die?"
"How come there is no way to survive if you are doing well?"
"Death is certain..."
Just when a group of family members were lamenting the unfair fate, they heard Geshiha standing guard outside the door shouting: "Hong Futai is here!"
The room suddenly became quiet, and then Hong Shiming came in. Hong Shiming has been in depression for most of his life, and now he has finally reached the position of governor of Jiangnan. Of course, he must hurry up to do things for the court and make money for himself... Later generations will let him know about the "996", and he will be scolded as a slacker. No. Now he wishes he could be the governor for eighteen hours a day!
So after working hard during this period of time, I feel a little exhausted, but my energy level is excellent.
Seeing Hong Shiming coming in, Zu Zepu quickly lowered his head to drink tea. Several family members also shrank there and sat on chairs to pretend to be invisible.
Hong Shiming glanced at him and raised his hand to Zu Zepu: "Zuzhijun, the emperor has spoken, asking you when you plan to rebel?"
Zu Zepu raised his head and spread his hands: "It can't be done...Wu Sangui just ignores me!"
Hong Shiming stamped his feet: "If he ignores you, won't you rebel on your own?"
"Rebel yourself?" Zu Zepu asked, "Should I also become the president?"
"What kind of president do you want to be? You don't call yourself the Jiangnan Governor of the Great Zhou Kingdom? Suzhou, Songjiang, Taicang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang and other places are still waiting for our edicts!"
Zu Zepu was stunned, "Edict? What order?"
Hong Shiming said: "Of course it was the two of us who led Suzhou, Songjiang, Taicang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Jiangningfu, Taiping, Ningguo, Chizhou, Guangde and other nine prefectures and prefectures to rebel and betray the Qing Dynasty's edict to surrender to Zhou... .... I have to ask my subordinates to quickly change the flags and official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty to those of the Zhou Dynasty. I can’t keep my braids anymore, I have to start growing my hair again.”
"This is not okay!" Zu Zepu shook his head repeatedly, "My ancestor has been favored by the emperor in his life, how could he do such a thing of treason and surrender to the enemy?"
Hong Shiming had known that Zu Zepu would refuse to rebel despite all obstacles... Being favored by the emperor in this world is all an excuse, fear of death is the real thing!
If you want this kind of thing to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Heavenly Soldiers will have to put a knife on his neck!
Thinking of this, he looked serious and shouted: "Please give me an order!"
Then I saw Emperor Kangxi’s confidant, Eunuch Xiao Guizi, coming in with a yellow box in his hands. Eunuch Xiao Guizi said with a cold face: "This is the edict written by the emperor himself... You must obey it immediately. ! The emperor is watching from the Purple Mountain. If you haven’t done anything by night, I will have to punish one of you for disobeying the order!"
The few people sitting there were all shocked. They did not know that Emperor Kangxi had come to Jiangning Mansion, and they did not expect that Emperor Kangxi would be so disrespectful of "imperial virtues" that he would personally come to supervise the rebellion of his officials.
Zu Zepu had no choice but to stand up and bow, then respectfully took the box, opened it and took out the secret fold inside to read.
He knew the contents of the secret document without reading it, which was to imitate Feng Ting, who dedicated himself to the party, to immediately raise the banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Jiangnan, and call himself the Governor of Jiangnan, the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Zu Zepu let out a long sigh and said to Xiao Guizi's father-in-law: "Eunuch Gui... The emperor said that he should give up the flag of Zhou Dynasty, but where can the official go to find the flag of Zhou Dynasty in such a hurry?"
"You don't need to look for it," Eunuch Gui said with a smile, "Jiangning Weaving Yamen has already prepared it for you...the flag, official uniform, and seal have all been prepared for you. All you need to do is create a ready-made counterattack." Got it!"
Zuze Puxin said: "The emperor who co-authored it is my accomplice in the rebellion!"
"But," Zu Zepu still shook his head, "but a low-ranking official will not rebel!" He looked at Hong Shiming and said, "Hong Futai, you are very knowledgeable. You must have learned how to rebel, right?"
Hong Shiming smiled and said: "Zuzhijun, don't push it away, you can't push it away! The emperor doesn't care whether you know it or not! If you haven't resisted by nightfall, the emperor will ask Sun Sike to lead troops to quell the chaos. ...Kill the whole family!”
Is this justified?
Even though he was not rebelling, Kangxi wanted to send troops to quell the rebellion and kill the whole family. If it goes against him, Kangxi will leave contentedly...
"Then, we have no choice but to rebel!" Zu Zepu stamped his feet, "Hong Futai, don't hide from this matter. How you want to rebel is up to you!"
"Okay!" Hong Shiming was also a responsible person. He nodded and said, "First of all, of course, we must tell the emperor that we have rebelled!"
"But... how to write this excerpt?"
Zu Zepu estimated that his master could not write this kind of excerpt.
"I'll write it!" Hong Shiming patted his chest.
Then he added: "Then Wu Sangui went to the press and told him that we had captured the Jiufu and one state in the south of the Yangtze River for him. Let him quickly send troops to take over!
The next step is to send an edict to the nine prefectures and prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, telling the officials of these nine prefectures and prefectures that we have accepted Wu Sangui's appointment and became the governor, governor, and admiral of Jiangnan in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and require the following prefectures and counties to follow suit. !
Finally, I would also like to invite all of you here to change into the official uniforms of the Zhou Dynasty with me, and take the officers and soldiers who have also changed into the Zhou Dynasty costumes, and go to the streets to patrol the city together... This must make the people in Jiangning Fucheng... You know we have turned against you! "
Zu Zepu looked sad, and finally asked: "Hong Futai, do you think we are now a real rebellion or a fake rebellion?"
Hong Shiming smiled: "Of course he really rebelled! Didn't Feng Ting really defect to Zhao back then?"
