Dengzhou now has two nicknames, one is Zhu San Taizi City and the other is Tianwang City. In fact, they all have the same meaning, that is, this city, located at the entrance of the Bohai Bay and facing the Liaodong Peninsula only more than 200 miles away by sea, belongs to the third prince of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and is now the supreme king of the new Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cijiong. . .
For the new Ming Dynasty, which had its capital in Nanjing, Dengzhou was an enclave that was difficult to govern. For the Qing Dynasty, which still controlled most of Dengzhou Prefecture and all other state capitals in Shandong Province, Dengzhou was an enclave that was difficult to govern. The hard bones that have been chewed off.
As for those profiteers, rural sages, hypocrites and treacherous officials who still point to the Qing Dynasty to make money, but at the same time are not optimistic about the future of the Qing Dynasty and are unwilling to be buried with it, Dengzhou... .This is where their lives restart!
In the eyes of these people, King Zhu Tian who rules Dengzhou is simply a righteous and righteous patron saint!
Not only does he provide protection to those whose origins are unknown, but he does not even ask where they came from. He can even provide them with a new identity, allowing them to start a new journey within the increasingly tall and thick walls of Dengzhou's outer city. life.
After three or four years of development, the reputation of the Third Prince City and the Tianwang City has become more and more famous throughout the north. Those farmers who are suffering may not know it, but those guys who ride on the necks of the working people and dominate , but everyone knows about this loophole in Huihuitian’s network.
Li Sixing, who owns a courtyard house built with red bricks and black tiles in the mansion area known as "Lapuzhuang" on the edge of Dengzhou Commercial Port, is the "bad guy" who has started a new life. Li Sixing is of course his pseudonym, and his real name is Li Sixing... He doesn't seem to be very famous, but his father and "Grandpa Huang" are world-famous figures.
His father’s name is Li Dingguo! His "grandfather" is Daxi Lao Long Live Zhang Xianzhong!
In the first year of Kangxi, shortly after the death of his father Li Dingguo, he brought more than 1,200 of his father's old troops to the Qing Dynasty. In fact, we can't blame him for this matter. His father Li Dingguo was only forty-two years old when he died, and he was still a young man in his early twenties and could not control the situation at all. Therefore, Li Dingguo ordered General Jin Tongwu to lead the army and asked Li Sixing to worship Jin Tongwu as his adoptive father.
But the situation at that time was too desperate. More than a thousand remaining soldiers were leaderless and trapped in the remote countryside on the border between Yunnan and Myanmar. There was no way out.
Therefore, Jin Tongwu could not control his officers and soldiers who were completely desperate for their future. Soon after, he was poisoned and killed. Then Li Dingguo's old troops forced Li Sixing and Liu Wenxiu's son Liu Zhen to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Li Sixing was granted the title of Dutong, Liu Zhen was granted the title of Marquis, and both raised their flags... The sons of two great anti-Qing heroes actually became children of the Eight Banners. I really didn't know about this. What should I say?
Li Sixing's Dutong was of course an empty-headed official, just an official waiting to die. Probably because the Qing court saw that he was quite honest, they didn't make things difficult for him and let him go about his life step by step... In the original history, he also served as the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, which was considered a great favor from the emperor.
But this time he was unlucky. When he was still working as a member of the Forbidden City Guards who clocked in to work, the Qing Dynasty "disappeared" once, that is when Burney came in!
When Li Sixing came in from Burni, he was guarding the Shenwu Gate with a few guards. When he saw the Mongols coming, he did not fight to the death for the Qing Dynasty, nor did he protect the Queen Mother and the Empress. Instead, he ran away first. , Be brave enough to run away only when you see a thief.
But because he ran fast, he took his wife and sister and fled to the outer city of Beijing... Later, when Kangxi returned to Beijing, of course he wanted to arrest and punish people. Li Sixing felt that his sin was quite serious and he did not dare to stay in Beijing. He also happened to hear that Dengzhou was a place like "Water Lake Liangshan", so he went with his wife and sister and brought some of the things his father left behind. With his inheritance and a little savings he had saved for many years as an official, he ran away to Dengzhou.
Although they didn't bring much money, fortunately, Dengzhou had just been developed at that time and the land and housing prices were relatively cheap. So Li Sixing spent 500 taels of silver to buy a piece of land inside the "Fence Wall" and built another land. With a thousand taels of silver, he built this large courtyard house and added some furniture, so he finally had a home.
But after doing this, his savings were almost gone, so he had to find a job. But he didn't dare to say that he was Li Dingguo's son!
Who asked him to surrender to the Qing Dynasty? If he hadn't surrendered, even if he couldn't take the title of Prince Jin, he could at least become a marquis. But now he is a "Qing Yao" who escaped from the Qing Dynasty!
So Li Sixing used the pseudonym of Li Sixing to go to the Tianwang Mansion in Dengzhou to find a job, and he found a good job - he found a position as a chief in the Dengzhou Guard Camp, responsible for guarding the gates of the outer city of Dengzhou.
Because he had work experience as a gatekeeper in the Forbidden City, and he was a professional soldier trained by Li Dingguo and the Qing Dynasty, he performed well whether he was leading troops or guarding the gate. A year ago, he also participated in the "General Staff Class" held by the Xiaoling Guard Military Academy in Dengzhou and learned the necessary knowledge to command an infantry fusilier battalion. Later, he was promoted to the battalion staff general of the second battalion of the Dengzhou Guard Army. It can be regarded as a prosperous official career.
At the same time, he also found a good match for his sister Li Haiyue, and married Yang Qilong's confidant Zhu Shangxian as his wife... Zhu Shangxian was originally Li Sixing's superior officer, serving as the deputy chief soldier of Biden Prefecture Town. Although he was not a young official, he didn't know much about military affairs, so he kept asking Li Sixing for advice. Later, he and Li Sixing attended the "Jiangjiang cram school" together and became classmates, and they became familiar with each other.
Later, Li Sixing learned that Zhu Shangxian had delayed his marriage for the great cause of "anti-Qing and restoration of Ming", so he was still single at a very old age (actually only in his twenties), so he introduced his girl to him.
Because of Zhu Shangxian's great support, Li Sixing has become the number one figure in the circle of Xindengzhou people. In fact, many people in Xindengzhou know Li Sixing. He used to guard the gates of the Forbidden City, and sometimes Look at the back door and sometimes at the Meridian Gate. Officials going to court have to pass by him from time to time. Not only the officials knew him, but also the domestic servants who accompanied them to court.
But since everyone has arrived in Dengzhou, they have not gone there, so those who know each other pretend not to know each other. This is the rule in Dengzhou.
But everyone is still willing to inquire about some "inside" information, and Li Sixing is also good at talking and making friends. When I'm not on duty, I always like to hang out in a teahouse called "Sihai Tea House" in Dengzhou Commercial Port, make a pot of tea, talk with people in Dengzhou whom I don't know or pretend not to know, and do something by the way. The trading of bearer bonds... This "Sihai Tea House" is also a spontaneous bond market, specializing in the trading of bearer bonds sold by Penglai Bank. Because most of the people and money in Dengzhou have unknown origins, they cannot buy and sell in regular exchanges like Nanjing and Guangzhou. They can only trade secretly in places like Sihai Teahouse.
And this Sihai Tea House is said to be the property of Princess Kunxing. Everyone can trade here with confidence... There are also special "ticket inspectors" here, and they can help check all silver bills and debt bills. True or false, only a small fee is charged.
Moreover, all bonds and banknotes traded here are anonymous.
Recently, the Sihai Tea House has been particularly lively because Penglai Bank is selling a "convertible bond" called Liaodong Land Bond... Of course, the convertible is not stocks, but Liaodong. Fertile black soil!
The money in Dengzhou is relatively abundant, and a large amount of funds have no investment direction, so the interest rate is relatively low, and there are more funds to find a way out. And land is definitely the asset that attracts these funds the most. After all, the owners of these funds are not industrial and commercial capitalists, they are originally the bureaucratic landlord class!
Therefore, Li Sixing, who has "inside information", has recently become a social celebrity in Sihai Tea House!
