Qing Dynasty.
After the failed attack on the Ming Dynasty and the withdrawal of the army a year ago, the Qing's military commander Ao Bai died, and the situation in the DPRK changed. Therefore, the rebels in various parts of the Qing Dynasty immediately took the opportunity to rebel.
In just a few months, the entire Qing Dynasty was in turmoil.
Moreover, the martial arts world of the Qing Dynasty was not peaceful during this period.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, which has stabilized, the situation in the Qing Dynasty at this moment can almost only be described in one word -
chaos!
Even the city of Guangzhou, located in the southern part of the Qing Dynasty and close to the East China Sea, was in a state of turmoil. Many shops were closed and there were very few people walking on the streets.
Moreover, at this time, those who dared to show their faces on the street, except for the beggars who were begging for food, were mostly businessmen traveling in the world, or disciples of certain sects. Basically, what they talked about was It's a Jianghu matter.
At this time, two Jianghu people wearing ordinary long robes and holding swords walked by the street, talking in low voices as they walked:
"Since the imperial court failed to attack the Ming Dynasty, the world has been really lively recently!"
"Isn't that right? I heard that there are several masters from the Ming Dynasty who are extremely powerful in martial arts. One swordsman in particular, the 'Deadly Swordsman' Yan Shisan, defeated many masters in just a few months..."
"I heard that a few days ago, Master Xiao's successor Gao Jianfei was born with a tear-stained sword. He wanted to challenge Zhuo Donglai, the second master of the Capital Escort Bureau. However, he met Yan Shisan and was defeated by Yan Shisan with just ten moves. In my hand, I volunteered to become Yan Shisan’s sword attendant.”
"What does this mean? The swordsman Ye Gucheng is so powerful. He is said to be one of the top ten swordsmen of the Ming Dynasty, and he is not the most powerful. But when he came to the Qing Dynasty, he defeated many swordsmen in just a few months. , even Xue Daxia, the 'man in blood' in Xuejiazhuang, who was known as the best swordsman in the Qing Dynasty, was defeated by his sword."
"A few days ago, Ye Gucheng announced that he would challenge Ziyihou, the first swordsman of the Qing Dynasty a hundred years ago. I don't know if Ziyihou will accept the challenge!"
"Hiss...if Ziyihou refuses to fight, wouldn't Ye Gucheng become the number one swordsman in our Qing Dynasty?"
"For sure..."
With the sound of conversation, the two gradually moved away.
And just as the two of them were walking far away, a young man in a white robe walked out from the side, looked at the two Jianghu people leaving, chuckled, and said:
"I didn't expect that in just a few months, Ye Gucheng and Yan Shisan would have made such a name in the Qing Dynasty..."
This young man in white robe is Yuhuatian.
After leaving the Ming Dynasty, he went straight to Guangzhou, the nearest major Qing city in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty, and decided to find out the situation in the Qing Dynasty before taking action.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in the city, he heard rumors about Ye Gucheng and Yan Shisan.
"Supervisor, Ye Gucheng has an appointment with Zi Yi Hou. This Zi Yi Hou is said to be the number one swordsman in the martial arts world of the Qing Dynasty a hundred years ago. He may be very powerful. Should we go and see it?"
Lian Chengbi approached Yu Huatian and asked in a low voice.
Yuhuatian pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Let's first find out the specific situation of the Qing Dynasty."
After saying that, he continued to walk forward.
Liancheng Bi, Murong Qiudi, Ximen Chuixue, A Fei, Ma Jinliang, Ding Xiu, Yuan Chengzhi, and Wen Qingqing, a group of nine brothers and sisters, all dressed as ordinary people in the world, walked on the slightly lonely streets of Guangzhou.
Although they were not wearing official uniforms, the good manners radiating from the inside out of everyone still caused the passersby around to avoid them, for fear of bumping into someone they shouldn't offend and causing trouble.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but sigh again, this Qing Dynasty is really chaotic!
I thought I could go on the road peacefully, but not long after I left, a beggar suddenly appeared on the roadside and stood in front of a few people. He didn't say a word. He lowered his head and held up the bowl. His purpose was self-evident.
"Get out of the way!"
Lian Chengbi frowned and shouted, without any intention of asking for charity.
Along the way, beggars were everywhere in the Qing Dynasty, and there was no way they could be saved.
As he spoke, he kicked the beggar aside.
Yuhuatian waved his hand and said, "That's all, reward him a little, send him away, and don't cause trouble."
"yes."
After hearing this, Lian Chengbi had no choice but to take out a piece of broken silver from his arms and throw it into the beggar's bowl.
The beggar then moved out of the way with the bowl in hand and said "thank you" with some difficulty. He looked up at Yuhuatian as if to remember his appearance.
Yuhuatian planned to leave, but when he saw the beggar's eyes, he couldn't help but stop.
The beggar's eyes were filled with expressions of deathly silence, loneliness, embarrassment, gratitude, etc., but they did not have the awe that other beggars had when they looked at them. Instead, they were very calm.
He seems to be a person with a story.
Yu Huatian's eyes flashed and he asked, "Are you from the Beggar Clan?"
The beggar shook his head and nodded again, not sure whether it was yes or no.
"What's your name?" Yuhuatian asked.
"Su Can." The beggar replied in a low voice.
Su Can!
Yu Huatian's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: "Follow me, I'll treat you to dinner."
Su Can looked hesitant.
Yuhuatian said calmly: "Don't you want to regain what you once lost?"
Su Can's body trembled and he whispered: "What have I lost?"
"Dignity, confidence, and the woman you love."
Yuhuatian said calmly: "If you want to find what you lost, come with me."
After saying that, Yuhuatian continued to walk forward without looking back.
Lian Chengbi and others also followed. Before leaving, they stared at Su Can in confusion and didn't find anything different about him. Why should he be worthy of the governor's attention?
Su Can looked at the departing figures of Yu Huatian and others, was silent for a moment, and then followed them.
…
Half an hour later.
In the largest restaurant in Beijing.
Su Can had a roast chicken in his left hand and half a roast duck in his right hand. He put it to his mouth and bit it without any image. He chewed it twice casually and then took another bite.
After a while, he finished making the chicken and duck, and then he picked up another bowl of rice and started eating along with the other dishes on the table.
Soon this pot of rice also saw its bottom.
Lian Chengbi and others looked at this scene in shock, it was very incredible.
Is this person reincarnated as a starving ghost?
Yuhuatian was very calm. He sat opposite Su Can, watched him quietly after finishing his meal, and asked, "Are you full?"
Su Can picked up the wine and took a long sip. His face turned red and he burped again. Then he wiped his mouth, looked at Yuhuatian, nodded and said, "I'm full."
Yuhuatian nodded lightly: "Then you go back first, tidy up, and then come find me tomorrow."
Su Can was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Thank you for inviting me to dinner, but I am a useless person now and can't help you with anything."
Yuhuatian said calmly: "It's just that the meridians are broken and the martial arts has been abolished. It's very simple to get it back. The main thing is whether you want to get back what you lost."
Su Can was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll go back and put my father in bed, and then I'll come find you."
Yuhuatian nodded.
Su Can stood up and looked at the large table of unfinished dishes on the table. He hesitated and said, "Can I take some back to my dad?"
"Okay." Yuhuatian nodded.
"Thanks."
Su Can thanked him, then picked up two chicken legs and two steamed buns and left.
Watching him leave, Lian Chengbi and others looked at Yuhuatian with some doubts.
"Lord Governor, is there anything worthy of respect in this person?" Lian Chengbi asked.
Yuhuatian did not answer, but looked out at the beggars huddled on the street begging, and said: "Our goal is to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and drive the Tatars out of China, but even if the Qing Dynasty is destroyed, this will not be the end of the world." What should I do with the beggars on the street?”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
To be honest, they were also shocked during the few days they came to Daqing.
They did not expect that there would be so many beggars in the Qing Dynasty, and most of them were Han Chinese.
This shows how low the status of the Han people is in the Qing Dynasty.
Yu Huatian looked calm and continued: "The existence of these beggars is a foregone conclusion. Even if we destroy the Qing Dynasty, we cannot directly give them money and land. The imperial court cannot afford so many people. In the end, we will still have to rely on them. Own."
"And when the time comes, there will always be someone needed to manage these beggars."
"But isn't there a beggar gang in the Qing Dynasty? It would be great if we directly control the beggar gang." Lian Chengbi said.
Yu Huatian shook his head: "I cannot trust the people of the Beggar Clan. Moreover, there are some masters in the Beggar Clan. Without absolute force, it will be difficult to suppress them."
Lian Chengbi's eyes flashed: "So the governor chose him? Su Can?"
Yu Huatian nodded, then looked at Ma Jinliang and said, "Go and check his background to see if that's the person I'm looking for."
Sucha Harcan was the son of General Guangzhou in the Qing Dynasty.
Because he offended Zhao Wuji, the leader of Tianli, he abandoned his martial arts and became a beggar.
If this person is really the person, then Yuhuatian wouldn't mind letting him manage the Beggar Gang.
"Yes!" Ma Jinliang said, cupping his hands.
After eating and drinking, it was almost dark, and everyone returned to their rooms, preparing to stay here for two more days to find out the situation in the Qing Dynasty before taking the next step.
As soon as Yuhuatian returned to the room, there was a knock on the door.
Yu Huatian sat on the chair and poured a glass of water slowly. Then he looked at the door and said calmly: "Come in."
The door opens.
A figure wearing a black robe and holding a sword walked in.
"The humble Cao Shaoqin, please see the Governor!"
Yu Huatian looked at Cao Shaoqin and was not surprised.
As early as a few months ago, people from Xichang and Jinyiwei came to Qing Dynasty in batches.
Among them were Cao Shaoqin and Dong Tianbao, who were demoted to Jinyiwei for training.
With the capabilities of Xichang and Jinyiwei, the Qing Dynasty is probably already filled with their people.
As soon as Yu Huatian and others arrived in Guangzhou City, they were already discovered by Jin Yiwei's people.
The Jin Yiwei in charge here is none other than Cao Shaoqin.
Now he has reached the position of general flag within Jinyiwei.
It has to be said that those who are capable can get up anywhere.
"Let's talk about the situation in the Qing Dynasty." Yuhuatian said calmly.
"yes!"
After more than half a year of hard work, Cao Shaoqin looked much more mature, with a cold and aloof temperament, but he was still very respectful in front of Yuhuatian. After hearing this, he immediately told Yuhuatian about the situation of the Qing Dynasty one by one.
After listening to Cao Shaoqin's report, Yuhuatian nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.
The plot is almost sorted out, and I'm already saving the manuscript for a unified release at the end of the month.
