"Bang, bang, bang, there's a rebellion! The people of Jiangning heard this, and the governor of Jiangnan, Lord Zu, the governor of Jiangnan, Lord Hong, and the admiral of Jiangnan, Lord Zu, all rebelled!"

On the afternoon of the eighth day of the eighth month of the thirteenth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, the people in Chengnei, Jiangning were busy preparing dinner. They paid homage in front of their ancestors' memorial tablets and reported to their ancestors that although Master Wang was coming soon, he had not come yet today.

At that moment, they suddenly heard someone outside beating gongs and drums while announcing the great news!

Zu Zepu, the governor of Jiangnan, Hong Shiming, the governor of Jiangnan, and Zu Yonglie, the admiral of Jiangnan... finally rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty!

Of course it was to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, otherwise what would you be fighting against? To seek refuge with Wu Sangui? Impossible, Wu Sangui was still far away, and even if he wanted to seek refuge with him now, he would be out of reach!

However, the army of the third grandson of Zhu has arrived at the door of Jiangnan Province, and may have already entered. So now is the time to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. If you rebel, the army of the third grandson of Zhu will come in and take over Jiangnan safely. Zu Zepu, Hong Shiming,

No matter how many bad things Zu Yonglie had done in the past, once this great contribution of "devoting to Jiangnan" was given, a hero who had restored the country would not escape.

After all, Jiangnan is so rich that the tax revenue of the six prefectures of Jiangning, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, Taicang, and Songjiang in southern Jiangsu alone accounts for more than two cities in the country! And the total population of these six prefectures must be more than six million.

, Guangdong Province may not even have this number... Nowadays, people value scarcity. If the Ming and Qing families had been fighting in Jiangnan for a year and a half, and there would be a city full of people and people in the fields, there would be so many people.

such a pity?

If the new Ming Dynasty could swallow up the six prefectures in southern Jiangsu, the population and wealth at hand should have exceeded half of the world, right?

There are people with money and heavenly weapons and magic. Even if the new Ming Dynasty cannot dominate the world, the people in Jiangnan should be able to live a comfortable and stable life from now on.

Before the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, the gentry and common people in Jiangnan often criticized the Ming Dynasty, which had collected "heavy taxes" in Jiangnan for more than two hundred years and sent eunuchs from time to time to torment the people in Jiangnan.

But after the Ming Dynasty was replaced by the Qing Dynasty, the gentry and common people in Jiangnan realized how powerful it was!

It turns out that the "heavy taxes" of the Ming Dynasty were not called heavy taxes at all, and the dead eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were not cruel at all - they were beaten for collecting some mining taxes, and the beaters actually became "righteous men" and lived happily in prison.

He was released in a few years. Can you try beating one of the coated slaves from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

Even the people in the south of the Yangtze River did not provoke the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty bothered to create a coastal relocation that was harmful to people. They gave you three days to get out. If you don't move, you will be hacked to death. If you move, they will not be resettled. No matter where you go, you will starve to death! Yes!

If you rebel, the Eight Banners Green Camp will kill you and leave you alone!

Encountering such a "master", the gentry and common people in the south of the Yangtze River really regretted it. Just when they were regretting it, there was a "regret medicine" in the world, and the Ming Dynasty was resurrected with full blood.

Moreover, the resurrected Ming Dynasty has also become a brand new dynasty. According to the news from Zhejiang and Jiangxi, the current Ming Dynasty soldiers are really in strict military discipline and there is no fault of Qiu.

And the news coming from Guangdong and Fujian is that the Ming Dynasty now equalizes land, taxes, and services, and also establishes trade, encourages industry and commerce, and establishes education... The people's days are getting more and more promising!

Of course, these news are very likely to be false news, and the New Ming Dynasty should not be that good. But there are two things for sure... First, there is a contrast between the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and the New Ming Dynasty will be fine if it does whatever it wants.

Second, the army of the new Ming Dynasty must be very capable! Otherwise, they would not have swept through the four provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang so quickly.

Since their rule is definitely better than that of the Qing Dynasty - it can't be worse! And their fighting power is also very strong, which can protect the people of Jiangnan from the massacre of the Qing Dynasty. Then what reason do the people and gentry of Jiangnan have not to welcome the new Ming Dynasty?

?

After all, this is still the thirteenth year of Kangxi's reign, not the one or two hundred years after the Qing Dynasty ruled the world.

Nowadays, most of the gentry and common people in Jiangnan still do not agree with the braid on the back of the head!

So when the news that Zu Zepu, Hong Shiming, and Zu Yonglie were "rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty" spread in Jiangning City, the people in Jiangning City immediately became excited. At least tens of thousands of people immediately gave up their work.

Children, they immediately rushed to the street to "welcome the Ming Dynasty". Some of them even took out the Ming Dynasty robes from the bottom of the box and changed into them - Nanjing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty!

When they saw a large group of officials and soldiers dressed like Ming Dynasty officials on the street where the Governor's Office was located outside Jiangning Banner City, either on horseback or on foot, beating gongs and drums while "calling for rebellion," they thought

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have already arrived - otherwise, how could there be so many people strutting around outside the governor's office of the Qing Dynasty wearing "Ming Dynasty" official and military uniforms?

So everyone spontaneously started singing "Welcome the Ming Dynasty".

"Looking forward to the Ming Dynasty, welcoming the Ming Dynasty, opening the city gates and surrendering to the Ming Dynasty. When the Ming Dynasty comes, we will not be slaves..."

At this time, Zu Zepu and Hong Shiming were not in the parade. They had already left the inner city to see Emperor Kangxi off and report on the progress of the rebellion. Only Zu Yonglie and Zu Chenglie, the "three generations of ancestors", led the parade.

Some servants and officials from the Governor's Mansion and the Admiral's Mansion were playing gongs and drums. As soon as they heard people on the street singing "Welcome the Ming Dynasty", they immediately became anxious.

"I sang it wrong, it's not to welcome the Ming Dynasty, it's to welcome the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Welcome the Zhou Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty!"

These two "three generations" still want to correct the mistakes of the masses, but where will the masses listen to them? They are all yelling there!

"Welcome the Ming Dynasty! Welcome the Ming Dynasty! Welcome the Ming Dynasty..."

Anyway, everyone agreed that it was time to "welcome the Ming Dynasty"!

Zu Yonglie, the admiral of Jiangnan, did not give up and said to the soldiers and servants on his left and right: "You should join me in shouting 'Welcome the Great Zhou'!"

"嗻!"

A man with a beard and hair that had already turned white greeted his old servant who had celebrated his birthday, and then raised his voice and said to a group of young servants behind him: "You little bastards, all shout with my ancestor!

Looking forward to the Ming Dynasty, welcoming the Ming Dynasty, opening the city gates to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and not being a slave when the Ming Dynasty comes..."

The people below were confused about the situation. When the old man shouted, they naturally followed him: "Look forward to the Ming Dynasty, welcome the Ming Dynasty..."

"Zu Da, you called the wrong one!" Zu Yonglie became even more anxious, "It's to welcome Da Zhou!"

This Zuda is the servant who lived Zuda's birthday. He was not originally called Zuda, but the elder than him died, so everyone called him Zuda. In the circle of Zuda's servants and slaves, he is a very famous person.

A person of prestige.

"Admiral, Zu Da is right!" Mr. Zu glared and roared, "Admiral, if you want to save your life, just follow everyone to welcome the Ming Dynasty, and then send people to close the gates in the inner city. Don't let Zijin

The flag army on the mountain has entered the city! As long as you wait a few days, when the soldiers arrive tomorrow, are you still afraid that you will not have any wealth?"

Immediately, other servants joined Zu Da.

"Yes! Zu Da is right!"

"Junmen, President Wu is still far away, and Sun Sike's flag army is on the Purple Mountain... We can only vote for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes, you can only vote for the Ming Dynasty!"

It turned out that these servants and slaves of the ancestral family were not brainless people. Although they did not know what "rebellion was ordered to do" or "Feng Ting dedicated himself to the party", they knew that their lives could not be thrown away carelessly.

But Zu Yonglie still shook his head and said: "But the green battalion soldiers guarding the thirteen gates of the inner city are all controlled by Sun Sike and don't listen to me!"

Zu Da chuckled: "Those gatekeepers don't recognize Sun Sike. They are all soldiers from the South who live for a living. They only know that the sky is about to change, and the soldiers are coming soon! You want to

If we don't let them welcome the Ming Dynasty, they may mutiny... Even if they don't mutiny, when Zhu San Taisun's soldiers arrive, they will open the city gate and welcome the Ming army in, and we will be dead by then!

"

As he spoke, the old man did not wait for Zu Yonglie to speak, but loudly said to a group of servants of the ancestral family: "The admiral's military gate has an order to immediately close Chaoyang Gate, Taiping Gate, Shence Gate, Jinchuan Gate, Zhongbu Gate...

..Go and give the order!”

"嗻!"

The surrounding servants of the ancestral family all responded with "嗻", and then under the arrangement of Zu Da, they divided into five teams to seal the five city gates on the northeast and northeast sides of Jiangning's inner city.

However, these servants were not all Zu Yonglie and Zu Chenglie's people, some were Zu Zepu's confidants. Taking advantage of the chaos, they also went to Chaoyang Gate, Taiping Gate, Shence Gate, Jinchuan Gate, and Zhongbu Gate together.
