Chapter 453: The head does not wear the sky, and the feet cannot step
The Qing army had no news from the north and south, but the Taiping army was not connected.↑,. The second and third towns in Huizhou were sent by the navy of Jinghai Institute every day. When they learned that a student from Lufeng had left the city to persuade a Mongolian leader to surrender. After three or four hundred Mongolian soldiers brought horses to the camp, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help but become interested in the student and ordered Lufeng to send the information of this person.
Lu Feng soon sent the information of the student. The man's surname was Dong and his name was Changqing. He was a student in Changning County, Huizhou. After the Qing army entered Guangdong, he was unwilling to eat Qingli to serve foreigners. He vowed that "the head should not be worn on the Qing Dynasty and the feet should not be stepped on the Qing Dynasty." He built a boat in his hometown, and sat in the boat with his mother, and lived in seclusion on the river. The food and clothing were bought by the villagers and sent to the boat.
The deeds of Dong Changqing, the magistrate of Changning, appointed by the Qing court, developed a respectful and loving talent. On the condition of protecting his reputation as a juren, someone asked him to go ashore, but Dong Changqing ignored it. The magistrate was not upset and had a plan to ask the yamen runners to tie the people directly. As long as Dong Changqing got ashore, he would break the oath of that day, and then lure them with fame and fortune, explain them with reason and persuade them with affection. If it really doesn't work, he would threaten him with his mother. He did not take any action, so he would not be afraid that Dong Changqing would not submit.
Unexpectedly, the matter was revealed to Dong Changqing's villager by the people from the county government. After Dong Changqing learned the news, he took his mother to the boat to avoid other places overnight. He failed to tie the person up and forced him away. The magistrate of Changning was so amused that he could not force him to do so, so he gave up. The magistrate was also a generous person. He did not have the intention to harm Dong Changqing because of this. In the following years, he deliberately saved it. If it were not for this, Dong Changqing, a scholar who refused to give up and was unwilling to be dissatisfied, had long been arrested and killed by the Qing army. Unless you ran to the sea, or the river, you would never escape the Qing army.
Since the second year of Yongli, Dong Changqing has not been ashore for a full ten years and has gone from a young man to a middle-aged man. For ten years, he has been waiting for the Ming Dynasty King's Army to return to Guangdong day and night, but he has never been able to see the King's Army. He thought he would never have the chance to step on the shore again in this life. Unexpectedly, a villager came to tell him that the Ming Dynasty flag was once again raised at the head of Huizhou City!
After the villagers told him, Dong Changqing burst into tears at the bow of the boat. At that moment, his heart was not more excited because of the emergence of the Ming army, but rather sadness and sadness of waiting for ten years of loneliness.
At that time, Changning was still controlled by the Qing army. The situation in Huizhou was not clear and his mother was old, so Dong Changqing dared not go ashore easily. Dong's mother advised him to go ashore immediately to invest in the Ming army in Huizhou. Regardless of whether the Ming army could support this time, they would always go to serve, so as not to regret it for life. Dong's mother never blamed or complained about her son's choice and persistence. Although she was a woman, she knew the righteousness of the family and country, and she was entitled to the king's worries. The son was a scholar from the Ming Dynasty, not his scholar from the Qing Dynasty, so her son chose to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, there was nothing to say about being a mother. There were too many people in the world who were obedient to the people of the Qing Dynasty, and it was not a shortage of him, and he and his son were called to be loyal to the Emperor of the Zhu family.
Dong's mother died of illness after only a few years of marriage with the Dong family. She was raising her son and was scolded as a husband. She was really afraid that one day she would ask the clan to eat the family's family's meal and sell herself to another country to be a wife for others. In those years, Dong's mother lived a frightening life until her son was admitted to the scholar. Dong's mother finally let go of her thoughts that had been suppressed for more than ten years, and she was proud and dared to speak loudly in front of the Dong family. All this was just because her son was admitted to the scholar and was admitted to the Ming Dynasty. Dong's mother was obsessed with the good fortune of the Ming Dynasty, and her son read the books of sages, but the sages did not ask anyone to work hard for the foreign race.
Under the urge of his mother, Dong Changqing finally set foot on the land that he had not stepped on for ten years. Under the cover of the villagers, he went to Huizhou to join the army. The journey was without any danger. He arrived in Huizhou smoothly and successfully joined the army. Unexpectedly, Hu Qili, the general of Huizhou, did not pay attention to this student who was famous in his hometown, and had no intention of valuing talents at all. He just sent Dong Changqing to be a document in the army and was responsible for the funds and funds for money and grain exchanges.
This document can be done by literate people, and even the shop assistants can be treated as a shop assistant. Hu Qili's arrangement was so disappointing. However, Dong Changqing did not bother with it, and did his duty seriously. Later, the Qing army in Chaozhou attacked Huizhou, and Dong Changqing followed the team that delivered food to Lufeng City. At the top of the city, he saw how the Chaozhou soldiers showed their power and showed how the Huizhou army in the city was timid and afraid of fighting. Later, he saw how the Qing army in Chaozhou fled and how they were chased to escape all the way to Chaozhou. All this was just because the Taiping army from Guangzhou, the one who killed Shang Kexi, killed Hahamu, and slaughtered the Taiping army all over the city.
Prince Qing Jian led a large army to attack Lufeng three times. In the crisis, Dong Changqing went to the city to help the battle regardless of his weakness. He didn't know how to kill people with a knife, but he knew to move the big stone under the city to the city. The stone was very heavy, but Dong Changqing was not very strong. He was very struggling to walk on the city road. He couldn't walk two or three steps and had to stop and take a break and breathe. But even so, he gritted his teeth and persevered until he brought the stone to the top of the city and turned to help. Seeing the wounded soldiers, he could also go forward and help with the civilians. At first, he couldn't stand the blood and vomited a few times, but later he got used to it.
Yu Shizhong, a travel school in the second town, accidentally saw Dong Changqing dressed up by a student. He was very surprised at the time. He had never seen a scholar working hard like a young and strong man, and he was not tired or dirty at all. Yu Shizhong asked Dong Changqing when he asked the officers of Huizhou. There were people from Changning in the army and immediately informed Dong Changqing of the Qing Dynasty and not standing in the Qing Dynasty. Yu Shizhong was very impressed and believed that this man had great talents, so he introduced him to the town general Tieyi.
Tieyi was illiterate, but he knew that his general was a scholar, so he respected the scholar very much. After talking to Dong Changqing for a few words, he saw that he was free to deal with it. He was not as humble as a scholar when he saw him. Occasionally, he could say a few targeted opinions about the war. He naturally appreciated him and asked him to advise in the town.
Mongolian Zoro's leader Alta led his children to roast horse meat outside the city and drink and sing. None of the Taiping Army in the city took it seriously. After seeing it, Dong Changqing thought about it. The next day he found Tieyi and proposed to send people out of the city to exchange military horses with the Mongolians.
Tie Yi was surprised. The Mongolians had horses that could be killed and eaten, so how could they exchange rice and flour with the Taiping Army? Dong Changqing said that horse meat was actually uneasy and could not be eaten. If eaten for a long time, it would be accumulated in the belly and could not be excreted, and eventually it would be swelling and swelling. The Compendium of Materia Medica is very clear that horse meat is poisonous and smelly, and cannot be discharged. Therefore, the Mongolians easily do not eat horse meat unless they are forced into a desperate situation. Obviously, the Mongolians outside the city were in desperate situation, otherwise they would not kill horses to eat. If they could eat something, they would not care about anything else. As the saying goes, there is wine and drunk today. If they have a choice, they would not be willing to be swelling and swelling.
With a skeptical attitude, Tieyi agreed to the matter, but Dong Changqing argued that the Mongols were really willing to exchange rice and flour with war horses. Even if the exchange conditions were deducted to the extreme, the other party still gritted their teeth and recognized them.
After two transactions of rice and flour for war horses, Dong Changqing boldly proposed to take advantage of the situation to persuade the Mongolian soldiers to surrender. With the success of the last time, Tie Yi naturally would not object. Dong Changqing asked to leave the city himself. In order to make himself more like an envoy to surrender, he asked someone to make the clothes of Ming Dynasty officials and put them on his body and left the city. After a while, after a while, the Mongolian leader Alta was indeed willing to surrender, allowing the Taiping Army to emptie three to four hundred Mongolian soldiers and hundreds of war horses, which made Tie Yi so happy that he couldn't stop and praised Dong Changqing as a god.
When Zhou Shixiang asked Tieyi to report Dong Changqing's information, Tieyi took Dong Changqing's words by the way, which was said, "The Tartar soldiers are in desperate situations, so you might as well fight with your heart to attack him. Promise the entire army of the enemy's chiefs to die. In order to survive, the Tartar soldiers will kill the enemy's chiefs. Then the Lord can get thousands of Tartar soldiers to serve without any effort!"
