On the Yangcheng Lake in Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture, there are sparkling blue waves. It has just entered winter, with small snowflakes floating, and it is a bit cold.
It's strange that in the cold weather, there is actually a woman in red wearing a bamboo hat, covering her face with gauze, and wearing a long robe, standing in front of the hatch of a boat in the lake. Her graceful figure and the colorful phoenixes on the boat complement each other beautifully.
Picturesque, people in the painting.
A small boat, taking advantage of the momentum of the water, shot towards the painting boat like lightning.
Seven people came up, seven weirdos. It was a cold day. They were wearing Confucian scarves and thin Confucian shirts. They were not afraid of the cold, but one of them actually carried a long sword on his back.
Is he a scholar? Or a warrior? Or a green forest hero, a gangster? Or the legendary Seven Strangers of Jiangnan?
The seven people all nodded to the woman in red, and the woman said a blessing, "Seven gentlemen, please come in. Guo, Yao, and Kong are already in the cabin."
"Thank you Lord Hedong", seven people walked into the cabin.
These seven monsters are none other than members of the Jingyin Poetry Society, a mysterious organization in Nanzhili.
Jingyin Poetry Society, also known as "Escape Society", means to temporarily escape and plot again. It is a patriotic poetry society just established in Wujiang, Jiangsu last year. The founders are rebel leaders Wu Zhenyuan, Wu Zongqian and Ye Hengzuo.
There are more than fifty members.
On the surface, this group of people is so heartless that the Ming Dynasty has become like this. They actually spend their days wandering around in the world of literature and wine. In fact, they use the poetry society as a cover to secretly carry out anti-Qing activities.<
/p>
The seven people who came here are all core members of the Poetry Society and righteous men with both civil and military skills.
The first one, whose surname is Gu Yanwu (whose real name is Gu Jiang), whose courtesy name is Zhongqing, was born in Qiandeng Town, Kunshan. He is a thinker, classics scholar, historian and phonologist. The Gu family belongs to a prominent family in Jiangdong. Since childhood, his aunt Wang has taught him how to play Yue Fei.
Wen Tianxiang was loyal and righteous. He once submitted the "Four Essays on Yi and You" to Emperor Hongguang, participated in Wang Yongzha's rebellion, secretly instigated a rebellion against Wu Shengzhao with the famous Fushe celebrities Chen Zilong, Gu Xianzheng, and Yang Yanshu. He also established the Jingyin Poetry Society and participated in various rebellions.
Between the Qing Yi Army.
The second one is Gui Yanwu’s classmate and friend Guizhuang, named Erli, a calligrapher, painter, and writer. He is good at cursive calligraphy, bamboo painting, and has many strange poems. He once joined forces with Gu Yanwu in Kunshan to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and is known as "Gui Qi Gu Wei"
.
The third place is the novelist Chen Chen, whose courtesy name is Yaxin, who was born in Wucheng (now Huzhou, Zhejiang).
The fourth place is historian Wu Yan, courtesy name Chiming, from Wujiang.
The fifth place is Pan Tiezhang, whose courtesy name is Shengmu, Wu Yan’s friend and fellow countryman, and also a historian.
The sixth person who died was Wang Xichan, an astronomer and almanacist, who was born in Wujiang. When he was seventeen years old, the Qing army conquered Nanjing. This son went on a hunger strike for seven days in order to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. His parents begged him hard before he could eat. After surviving,
Every day he takes the revival of Mingzuo as his own responsibility. He is good friends with Lu Liuliang and Zhang Luxiang.
The seventh place is Wan Shouqi, a writer, calligrapher and painter, young in age, from Nanchang, Jiangxi. This man is not only good at painting, he is also good at martial arts. He is the same age as Chen Zilong and the same hometown as Yan Ermei.
Not only are all the seven monsters remarkable, but the woman in red is also very human. She is Liu Rushi, the wife of Qian Qianyi, the leader of the southeastern scholar forest, known as "Hedong Jun". She came here on behalf of her husband Qian Qianyi.
At this moment, her task is: guard the door.
There are four other people in the cabin.
The leader is Guo Lin, the Jinyiwei envoy of the Ming Dynasty. Because of Zhu Hengjia's golden words, he was promoted from Qianhu to the envoy of the town. After being promoted, he was full of energy and wanted to unite the anti-Qing forces in Southern Zhili to do big things.
To repay the kindness of the prison country.
The other three are rebel leaders, Chengyi Bo Liu Kongzhao, Liu Yongxi and his son, and Pingyuan General Yao Zhizhuo.
Guo Lin spoke: "Gentlemen, since the last attack on Zhoushan failed, the strength of the Qing army in Suzhou and Songshan has been greatly reduced. The old thief Hong transferred the admiral Li Benshen to Huizhou to resist the army of the Supervisor. The land of the two prefectures
, only Wang Fuchen's 7,000 land divisions and Wang Shen's more than 10,000 naval divisions were left. It was a good opportunity for us to launch an attack. I decided to raise troops in Kunshan. There were no soldiers in Kunshan County, only the 700 garrison guarding Bai Shoufu. Yi Xia
Ear!"
Everyone was very excited when they heard it.
Gu Yanwu smiled and said: "The seven of my tribesmen total five hundred people. I wonder how many of you are strong?"
Chengyi Bo Liu Kongzhao said: "My father and my son have five hundred old tribes."
"I have three hundred people," Pingyuan General Yao Zhizhuo said.
Guizhuang and Gu Yanwu fought against the Qing together, fought in battles, and had combat experience. Hearing this, he frowned and said: "Although our army has more than a thousand, most of them are local warriors and strong men. Although the Qing army is only a garrison, it is well-trained and equipped."
With our army, I wonder how many troops there are in Jinyiwei?"
"To be honest, I only brought a few subordinates here."
Seeing that everyone was disappointed for a while, Guo Lin sneered and said, "There are no people, but there is a clever plan that can help you seize the city without losing any blood."
"What's the plan?"
Following a clear female voice, Hedong Jun, who was standing guard outside the door, couldn't hold it in anymore and entered the cabin to make a sound. Suddenly he woke up and his face turned red with shame.
"The son of Bai Shoufu has become a disciple of Zhu Yongchun, a famous local scholar. I have successfully persuaded Zhu Yongchun to fake it as his birthday and invite Bai Shoufu to a banquet. All you have to do is ambush Zhu Mansion, and the Bai family will be a fish in the net."
Zhu Yongchun was a famous Neo-Confucian in Kunshan County. His father, Zhu Jihuang, threw himself into a river when he was guarding Kunshan City against the Qing army. The country and the family hated him, so he was willing to help Guo Lin.
"Oh, the governor's clever plan has come to light!"
The people present are all bold and unrestrained people, and they want to drink and sing.
Liu Rushi smiled and said, "I have prepared bad crabs and Zhuangyuanhong for you.
"The shell is thin and dyed with rouge, and the cream is thick with amber." The history of eating crabs in China is longer than the legend of the Emperors of Yan and Huang. Later generations discovered crab bones from more than 7,000 years ago in Xianren Cave, Shangrao County, Jiangxi; crab meat from Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties
Famous dishes such as pickled crab, bad crab, and sugar crab were spread, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty took them as tributes. Li Bai said that crab claws were elixirs, and Lu said that the crab's fat could restore the luster to his old, dim eyes.
Everyone was eating bad crabs and drinking Zhuangyuanhong. They were so happy.
Liu Rushi burst into tears suddenly, "If Chen Renzhong were still alive, he would have drank and composed a poem about this scene!"
Chen Zilong was a great talent in Fushe, and was Liu Rushi's lover before he met Qian Qianyi. He was captured by Chen Jin after the failure of his rebellion against the Qing Dynasty. Chen Jin asked him what his official position was? He said: "I am the military officer of the Chongzhen Dynasty." He also asked: "
Why don't you shave your hair?" He said: "I only keep this hair so that I can see the late emperor underground." Chen Jin took him to Nanjing, but on the way, when the guards were unprepared, he threw himself into the Songjiang River and died.
When everyone heard Liu Rushu mentioning Chen Zilong, they all spilled their wine on the tunnel and said: "Respect Chen Zilong!"
Yao Zhizhuo and Qian Qianyi had a very good relationship. They were afraid that Liu Rushi would be sad, so they changed the topic and said, "I have heard for a long time that Gu Zhongqing is a genius in the world. Why not write a poem to suit this scene?"
Gu Yanwu did not refuse, stood up and pondered the poem, and suddenly thought of his dead family members.
When he rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in Kunshan, the city was destroyed. The right arm of his biological mother He was cut off by the Qing soldiers, and his two brothers were killed. After the fall of Changshu, his stepmother Wang heard about the rebellion and went on a hunger strike to die for the country. On his deathbed, he told him: "Even if I am
It is also a kind of righteousness for a woman to be favored by the emperor and die with her country. If you don't become a minister of another country, live up to the great grace of the country for generations, and don't forget the instructions of your ancestors, then I can sleep underground."<
/p>
Thinking of his mother and younger brother, Gu Yanwu burst into tears and immediately sang the song "Jingwei·Everything is Unfair".
If everything is unfair, why should you suffer for yourself?
He will be an inch long and hold a tree in his mouth until the end of time.
I wish to bring peace to the East China Sea and keep my body and mind unchanged.
There is no end to the sea, and there is no end to my heart.
Woohoo, don’t you see me?
There are many birds in the trees in the west mountains, and magpies come and swallows build their own nests.
??
Everyone has a destiny, and the destiny of Kunshan guard Bai Shoufu is his son Bai Xingjian.
When I was young, my family was poor and I couldn't afford to study, but I had to let my son study hard! I begged my grandfather and grandma, and finally became a student of Zhu Yongchun, a master of Neo-Confucianism.
Bai Shoufu was so happy that he almost knelt down in front of Master Zhu.
On this day, Master Zhu was born, so he was invited to a banquet.
Bai Shoufu did not dare to neglect, not only prepared a generous gift, but also brought two commanders and more than ten sergeants to run for Master Bai, working as cows and horses.
Yes, be a cow or a horse! As long as he teaches my son well, I will be willing to be a cow or a horse!
Unexpectedly, after being busy for a while, hundreds of strong men broke in, all with shiny weapons, and disarmed them.
The first few people were known to Bai Shoufu. They were members of a local poetry club. Seeing them reciting poems and arguing all day long, they turned out to be rebels!
"Master Zhu, I came to congratulate you on your birthday with good intentions. What do you mean?"
Bai Shoufu asked Zhu Yongchun with a grimace.
Zhu Yongchun smiled and said, "I will teach you how to teach your son. I will teach you a lesson today: loyalty to the emperor and patriotism! Is it possible for the father to be a traitor but to teach his son to be a loyal minister? Where to go? Duke Bai will decide on his own."
It is said to be self-determination, but with a bright knife on his neck, how else can he decide? Bai Shoufu didn't dare to give up, and he was very obedient and led the rebels to take over Kunshan County and his own barracks.
"Congratulations to Bai Shoufu, you have been appointed as the general of Kunshan in the Ming Dynasty by King Jing," Guo Lin said to Bai Shoufu with a smile.
"Yes, yes, we are happy together, we are happy together," Bai Shoufu said with a bitter face.
"Come on, bring us up!"
With an order, the magistrate of Kunshan was escorted up from left to right.
Guo Lin smiled and said: "This dog magistrate helped the Tatars collect grain and taxes, and hunted down the anti-Qing righteous people. He worked very hard. General Bai Shen is a loyal and righteous man, and he must be willing to kill traitors with his own hands. Please take the sword!"
After saying that, he handed Bai Shoufu an embroidered spring knife.
Bai Shoufu Khan came out and killed the county magistrate, but he would not be able to look back. But if he did not kill him, looking at the evil look in the governor's eyes, his fate would never be better.
Damn it, I still have a precious son to raise, so I have no choice but to let Na Zhixian die.
Bai Shoufu was heartbroken, swung his embroidered spring knife, and chopped off the magistrate's head.
"Okay! Bai Ginseng will understand the righteousness!"
"White ginseng will be mighty!"
"Brother Bai is truly a hero!"
Everyone praised him.
After killing the county magistrate, Bai Shoufu felt relieved. Since ancient times, there has been a road in Huashan. He has no way out and can only walk to the end.
He opened his official warehouses, distributed grain and recruited troops, and captured Jiading County and Taicang Prefecture, and his military strength suddenly grew to more than 5,000 people.
Soon, word spread throughout the southern Zhili territory that King Jing sent a general named Bai Shoufu, who was seven feet tall and used a large iron bar weighing 180 kilograms to kill anyone he hit. Ten of his subordinates were killed.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers are unstoppable. We have captured Kunshan, Jiading, and Tailun, and the next step is to attack Suzhou.
