Ningbo Prefecture, Zhenhai County, Zhaobaoshan Governor's Mansion.

When Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong were escorted by hundreds of foreign soldiers and arrived at the Governor's Mansion located in the Zhaobaoshan Fortress, their hearts almost went cold.

The reason for feeling so cold was not only because they were prisoners, but also because the Zhejiang soldiers stationed at Zhaobaoshan Fortress had no desire to fight at all. No, they didn't even have the desire to escape!

They didn't just run away when they saw the thief, they fled at the wind, or they misheard the news and fled. Instead, they cut off their braids and surrendered to the Ming army as quickly as possible. A considerable number of Zhejiang soldiers even sang the song "Welcome the Ming King" in Ningbo dialect.

..... She is very familiar with the singing, obviously she has practiced!

These are the Zhejiang Green Camp soldiers that Fan Chengmo "fed" with money!

An ordinary soldier can receive as much as one, two or three yuan of snowflake silver in a month! Moreover, Governor Fan is very generous to his subordinates, does not pay much attention to military discipline, and does not require them to train every day. It is not enough to serve as a soldier for him.

So comfortable!

But these soldiers have no conscience at all. They surrender quickly!

The most hateful thing is that the few generals, guerrillas, and General Qian who led the troops not only surrendered quickly, but also rushed to hand over their names and took the initiative to lead the Chaozhou soldiers brought by Qiu Rong to steal the gold embezzled by Fan Chengmo.

....Boxes after boxes of gold bars were quickly moved to the lobby of the Governor's Mansion. The lids were opened, waiting for Qiu Rong to lead people to count them. Under the sunlight coming in from outside, the gold bars were shining so brightly that they could be counted.

Human eyes are blinded.

This amount of gold is so rich that even Yu Chenglong, who was a prisoner with Fan Chengmo, can't stand it - Yu Chenglong is notoriously honest, and he is also the inspector of Zhejiang, responsible for inspecting the administration of officials, but he did not expect that he "takes both sides"

"My boss is a greedy person.

"Luoshan, why are you greedy for so much gold? Are you worthy of the emperor and the court?" Yu Chenglong looked at the boxes of gold that were being carried in, and for a moment he forgot his identity and knelt down.

Where are you questioning Fan Chengmo?

"I, I..." Fan Chengmo was confused by Yu Chenglong's question. He forgot that he was already imprisoned. He thought it was a corruption incident and was taken by Yu Chenglong who was sent by the court, so he wanted to explain.

Woolen cloth!

"I made twenty thousand taels of gold when I was the governor of Zhejiang Province, which is not much! I am Fan Wensu's son! My old lady even served the prince of Yutong County..."

It's quite aggrieved. He served as the governor of Zhejiang for a year, and he was in charge of the Ningbo Customs for half of that year. He only made 20,000 gold, which can only be converted into silver of about 300,000 taels. Can this be called too much? And he, Fan Chengmo,

Who is he? The son of Fan Wensu (Fan Wencheng's posthumous title Wensu), his mother also serves Duduo... If Duduo wasn't only ten years older than him, he would have reason to doubt himself

It’s a species of Aisin Gioro!

With such a status, the governor of Zhejiang for one year only embezzled 300,000 taels of silver. How could he claim that he had too much?

Fan Chengmo added: "And this gold is not just a flower for me, it also needs...Yu Shan, you know!"

Fan Chengmo is a slave with a yellow flag, and his father worked as a slave for Daishan and his family, and his mother served Duoduo. After these interpersonal relationships were passed to Fan Chengmo, he had to spend money to maintain them. Otherwise, what would happen to this slave?

when?

Most of the money he made in Zhejiang had to be filial to these masters.

With the care of these masters, he was not afraid of Jackie Chan investigating his corruption. Moreover, as a master of the Ming Dynasty as Kangxi, he also knew this truth - could those Aisin Gioro really live on a few salaries?

Moreover, it is not convenient for them to go out and fish for it in person, so they can only rely on their servants to show their respect...

When Fan Chengmo said this, Yu Chenglong thought it made sense. When he was thinking about how to hide it for Fan Chengmo, a Chaozhou accent suddenly shouted: "Have you counted the number? These are the wealth of the people, they must be counted carefully.

Can’t miss it!”

Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong followed the voice and realized that the speaker was Qiu Rong, the "Scarred Number One Scholar" of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, they also remembered that they were already imprisoned.

"I've ordered it, I've ordered it all." Another person replied with a Chaozhou accent, "There are a total of 21,255 taels of gold..."

Qiu Rong nodded and said: "Okay, put a seal on it and transport it with the money to Yin County and hand it over to the Supervisor Guo Xingyuan!"

When Yu Chenglong heard this, he sighed in his heart: This is an upright official! This Qiu Zhuangyuan not only has first-class literary talent and outstanding military strategy, but also is an incorruptible official. The officials of the Qing Dynasty are really incomparable to him!

At this time, Qiu Rong also saw Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong, and he was quite polite. He smiled and said to the two of them: "The one with the surname Fan, the one with the surname Yu... The sage who oversees the country has arrived in Yin County and wants to see you two by name!"

"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and ordered around, "Take these two traitors and all the gold and set off in a quarter of an hour!"

...

Yin County is about thirty miles away from Zhaobaoshan Mountain and is the capital county of Ningbo Prefecture.

When Qiu Rong led a group of foreigners from the Ming Dynasty to sneak attack Zhaobaoshan, Zhu Heji led thousands of Ming army elites to Yin County day and night. On the same day that Qiu Rong captured Zhaobaoshan, the army led by Zhu Heji also fought without a single blow.

After entering the city, Zhu Heji immediately sent a group of cavalry to Zhaobaoshan and found Qiu Rong.

After learning that Zhu Heji had arrived in Yin County, Qiu Rong immediately ordered people to move the seized gold and silver, as well as the captured Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong, onto several inland rivers parked at the Zhaobaoshan Pier.

The boat left Zhaobaoshan on the afternoon of the seventh day of August and staggered westward. In the early morning of the eighth day of August, it entered the city through the water gate of Yin County.

Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong were not put into the cabin, but were put on the deck of the official ship together with their cages.

When the official ship arrived at Yin County, Fan Chengmo was so groggy that he almost fell asleep. While he was drowsing, he suddenly heard someone crying and shouting in his ear: "It's over, it's over, the Qing Dynasty is going to be over..."

..The Xin Ming Army is the true king’s master!”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This voice has a bit of Shanxi vinegar, and it sounds like it belongs to Jackie Chan!

What does this mean to Yu Chenglong? Does he want to be the second minister?

Thinking of this, Fan Chengmo suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes and wanted to glare at Jackie Chan. But when he saw the situation on both sides of the river, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and could not say a word.

It turned out that the official ship Fan Chengmo and the others were on had arrived at the most prosperous area of ​​Yin County, with shops and cargo terminals lined up on both sides of the river.

If the soldiers from the Qing Dynasty came, it would be polite to rob all the shops and docks in this area. Otherwise, they would have to massacre the city!

The Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty really like to massacre cities!

The occupied enemy cities must be slaughtered, and the recovered towns of our own must also be slaughtered. Sometimes we may even massacre the people in our own cities first because the enemy is about to attack...

In Fan Chengmo's view, the army of the new Ming Dynasty was "bandits". This "bandit" certainly did not like killing as much as the "heavenly soldiers", but things always had to be stolen.

But what Fan Chengmo saw now were thousands of exhausted New Ming Army soldiers wrapped in blankets, sleeping soundly under the eaves of shops on both sides of the river. And many of those shops were closing their doors and preparing to open for business.

.....It looks like they haven't been robbed yet!

Some soldiers had already woken up and were packing up to salute. Judging from their salutes, they only had some armor, clothing, blankets and food rations, and no stolen property at all.

The clerks and shopkeepers in some shops even handed hot rice porridge and steamed buns to the soldiers who had just woken up. After receiving the food, the soldiers smiled and thanked the shopkeepers and shopkeepers...

.Everything looks so natural, as if it should be that way.

What surprised Fan Chengmo even more was that he actually saw a young woman carrying a basket walking along the river bank alone...

Soldiers invaded.
