The Yangzhou General's Mansion was brightly lit, and the room was filled with cups and drinks.

Gao Tai, Li Xihua, Yao Junqing accompanied Yuan Chengzhi, and He Tishou drank and talked, which was very lively.

Yuan Chengzhi had already eaten a jar of wine, but he had a deep inner strength, but his face was slightly red. Seeing that everyone was almost drunk, he pulled Gao Tai and whispered: "Brother Mao! I have something to ask you..."

Gao Tai waved his hand and said, "What's the matter? Brother Yuan, you just say it's okay. Brother, I must know everything!"

"Cough!" Yuan Chengzhi's face became redder and redder, and he whispered, "I heard Xiaobao say that Ajiu is here with you? I don't know her..."

Gao Tai suddenly realized and whispered: "A Jiu? Are you talking about Master Jiu Nan? Why? Brother Yuan has a story with Master Yuan?"

Yuan Chengzhi's face darkened and he whispered: "Has she really become a monk? Alas, Ah Jiu... Master Jiunan is an old friend of mine..."

Gao Tai nodded and said, "The fifth prince has always lived in Taizhou. In order to protect him, Master Jiunan has settled in Ziyun Temple near Wuhumen."

"Are you in Ziyun Temple?" Yuan Chengzhi repeated a while, then stood up and said, "Brother Mao, I can't bear to drink, so I'll leave for the time being."

After saying that, Yuan Chengzhi left without waiting for Gao Tai to reply. Gao Tai looked at Yuan Chengzhi's panicked figure and smiled slightly, then let out a long sigh, remembering the thin, weak and unsatisfactory girl he was when he was a teenager, and whispered: "This love is just for recollection..."

He Tishou did not drink too much. She clearly heard the conversation between Gao Tai and Yuan Chengzhi, and remembered the thin and handsome person she liked when she was a teenager. She felt ashamed and couldn't help but say, "It was just that I was already confused!"

...

Yuan Chengzhi left the General's Mansion and went straight to Yangzhou. In the middle of the night, he rose and fell like a night owl, his speed getting faster and faster. Finally, he went east like a shadow like a gust of wind.

The pedestrians on the road and the soldiers on duty all felt that the breeze was blowing in front of them. They were not sure whether anyone was a hallucination or had encountered a ghost.

Yuan Chengzhi is 50 years old this year. He thought he was happy to know his destiny and had no desires, but he really returned to his hometown and was so close to Ajiu that his heart began to thump. He felt that he had endless energy all over his body, so he ran faster and faster, galloping on the road like a wild horse.

Half an hour later, Yuan Chengzhi stood in front of Ziyun Temple, deduced countless conversations in his heart, and he also raised up the courage countless times. He did not dare to take a step until the moon was ups and downs three or four times.

“Geehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

A rooster cries from Ziyun Temple, Yuan Chengzhi looked at Dongfang and turned slightly white. He gritted his teeth and jumped into Ziyun Temple.

"Who is it?!"

Yuan Chengzhi stood in the yard and heard the gentle voice in his dream in the room that he had heard countless times, and he smiled.

"Squeak!"

The wooden door suddenly opened, and Jiunan, wearing a moon-white monk's robe, walked out and looked at Yuan Chengzhi with a blank expression, but her eyes began to accumulate shiny liquid.

"You...why are you here..."

Jiunan stood in front of Yuan Chengzhi and reached out to touch Yuan Chengzhi, but he retracted like an electric shock when he was about to encounter it.

Yuan Chengzhi said in tears: "You have lost weight, Ajiu, you have suffered..."

Jiunan felt sad and almost burst into tears. She shook her head and whispered: "I don't have any hardship."

Yuan Chengzhi's heart was beating in his mouth, almost jumping out of his chest. He couldn't help but reach out to hold Jiunan in his arms like he did more than 20 years ago.

But the white clothes flashed, Jiunan took a step back. She bit her lip and said, "Please respect yourself, donor Yuan."

Yuan Chengzhi was struck by lightning and asked, "Ajiu, do you miss me? I... I miss you day and night..."

Jiunan closed his eyes and trembled his lips and said, "We have no chance in this life, donor Yuan doesn't have to bother you."

"ah!"

Yuan Chengzhi took a step back and said tremblingly: "I...I just want to meet you a few more times. I can't suppress my lovesickness in my heart, and I have no other intentions. Nine sister, you..."

Jiunan's face became paler and paler. She gritted her teeth and said, "You go, I've been desolate all my life. I had many delusions in the first half of my life, but I was worried and worried. In the future, I only wanted to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty and avenge my father. You... I've been... let alone in the future..."

Yuan Chengzhi heard what Jiunan had not finished saying, and he smiled bitterly: "Yes! I didn't cherish you before, and I shouldn't disturb you in the future. I was the one who hurt you, I was guilty..."

"ah!"

Yuan Chengzhi let out a long roar, and the sound came hundreds of meters away, and the rubble in Ziyun Pavilion was jingling.

Jiunan heard the sadness and sadness in Yuan Chengzhi's roar. His body trembled and he couldn't help but throw himself into Yuan Chengzhi's arms. But after all, she was the princess of the previous dynasty, and her bloodline and dignity were not allowed to do it.

Yuan Chengzhi's long roar was like a mountain collapse and the earth cracked, and the tide rose and fell, and the effort of a stick of incense gradually subsided.

After venting his emotions, Yuan Chengzhi felt as if he was ashamed and felt cold all over. He walked out like a drunk man, singing as he walked: "I want to go but still miss you. I look at each other like a little bit. Is it better to meet each other without saying a word..."

The next morning, Gao Tai invited Yuan Chengzhi to have breakfast together. Seeing that he looked normal, he thought that his old relationship with Jiunan was rekindled. He wanted to talk but was embarrassed, so he coughed lightly and said, "Brother Yuan is still used to living?"

Yuan Chengzhi put down his bowls and chopsticks and said, "It's comfortable. I haven't returned to my hometown for many years. It's still a good landscape in the south of the Yangtze River! The South Ocean is too humid and there are many mosquitoes, which is far inferior to the land of China."

Gao Tai said with a hunch and asked, "How many days will Brother Yuan stay?"

Yuan Chengzhi frowned and said, "I thought the situation was great before I came. I was going to wait for only two months, but I saw that the Qing Dynasty was not easy to deal with, so I might as well do my best."

Gao Tai knew that Yuan Chengzhi was the King of the Dashun Golden Snake in the late Ming Dynasty and the leader of the martial arts world in the seven provinces. Not only did he have the best martial arts skills, but he also led the heroes of the martial arts world to kill many Manchu and Mongolian Tartars. He was a master of military tactics. Seeing that he was willing to help him, Gao Tai was not polite and smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Yuan!"

Yuan Chengzhi's joining brought another general to Gaotai's think tank, and the anti-Qing situation became even more chaotic after the Dutch and Yuan Chengzhi's fleet joined.

Originally, the three feudalists and two brothers fought against the Qing Dynasty slowly turned into mutual struggle. Although they were still mainly targeting the Qing Dynasty, the power of the explosion was no longer as half as before.

Fortunately, Galdan kept invading eastward and annexed many tribes in Eastern Mongolia. Even the Korqin tribe was killed. At the same time, the Rakshasa soldiers and the Shenlong Sect in the northeast also made a comeback.

The Qing court did not dare to slack off, and more than half of its energy was spent on dealing with Galdan and Rakshasa soldiers. Therefore, after the 13th year of Kangxi, the land of China fell into a melee mode.

This situation lasted for more than three years. In the autumn of the 17th year of the Kangxi reign, Wu Sangui suffered a stroke and died of diarrhea.

Wu Sangui was the most powerful anti-Qing force. His sudden death caused Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong, who had already occupied Jiangxi and Wu Sangui's territory to become greedy. So he took advantage of Wu Sangui's death and attacked Wu Sangui's territory when he was just dead, causing Wu Sangui's Empire, which had been painstakingly running for decades, to defeat overnight.

In just two months, most of Wu Sangui's areas were divided up by Shang Geng and Zheng's families. Only his grandson Wu Shifan struggled with thousands of direct descendants and fled back to Yunnan, but he was assassinated by the Mu Mansion, who quickly took over Yunnan Province.

The death of Wu Sangui and the collapse of the Wu group made the Qing Dynasty breathe in the cracks see hope. They have never regarded Wu Sangui and Galdan as great enemies, and regard both Zhu and Geng Shang as nothing.

In the winter of the 17th year, the Qing Dynasty began to accumulate food and grass, and at the same time assigned the Western Regions to Galdan to establish the country and become a Khan, so as to stabilize the northwest.

In the spring of the 18th year, the Eight Banners Master led by Yue Le led 300,000 Qing troops to fight the bandits and suppress the rebellion.

The two Zhu and the two feudal families first retreated step by step. After realizing the danger, the four forces temporarily joined forces and finally defeated the Qing army after hundreds of battles of all sizes.

Then the two vassals and two priests began to fight in an internal battle, and they fought in a mess for four or five years. In the end, the two vassals were defeated and fled to Guangxi and Li Dynasties Vietnam. The third prince of Zhu and Zheng Jing, among the two priests, were forced back to Taiwan.

The General's Mansion, which occupied Guangdong, Sichuan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, Henan, etc., was once again expeditioned the northern expedition.

It took one year and four months to finally defeat the last Eight Banners elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty in Beijing and entered the capital.

Fuquan and other Qing traitors fled back to the pass, except for Xinjiang, Qinghai, Tibet, Northeast Mongolia, Taiwan and some areas of Gansu, anti-Qing forces led by Zhu Cihuan and Gao Tai have occupied all the remaining areas.

After entering Beijing, Gaotai accepted the last three and forty-two chapters of surrender from the Eight Banners Remnants of the Surrender Sect, and a total of eight and forty-two chapters of surrender were finally collected by Gaotai.

At this time, he was facing the remnants of the Qing Dynasty who retreated to the northeast and Galdan in the northwest, Zheng Jing, Geng Jingzhong, and Shang Zhixin overseas. If these remnants and the most powerful Galdan united, Gao Tai would be very troubled.

Most of China need to recuperate due to years of war, but Gao Tai wants to end the troubled times as soon as possible and wants to rely on the Dutch sea coachman to purchase the most advanced Western weapons and equipment through the Netherlands, which requires countless gold, silver and jewelry.

It was no longer possible to rely on plundering, so Gao Tai was just waiting to focus on the treasures in the deep mountains and forests of the Northeast.
