Just because of Te Niang's prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong, it was even known that there were no three great sages in the entire universe...

During their rule, the Chinese people were also so miserable!

The displaced people in "The Long River of the World" are a true portrayal of the prosperous times of Kangxi and Qianlong!

In the sixth year of Kangxi's reign, in Shandong Province alone, incomplete statistics accounted for 421 million people who starved to death!

In the 18th year of Kangxi's reign, the Yellow River burst four times in succession. The Central Plains, which had just shown signs of recovery from the war, has since plummeted.

Affected population...

I don’t even dare to count!

……

In the third year of Yongzheng's reign, hundreds of thousands of people died directly from floods!

Number of deaths due to floods...

Following the ancestral system, I still dare not count!

……

During the Qianlong period, there were still endless...

Dingwu was so famine that the people starved to death, more than ten million people!

Under such circumstances, the so-called "never increase donations" is desperately increasing donations.

The exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes imposed by "My Holy Qing" are so heavy that no other human government can match them!

……

If it were just a natural disaster and just extortionate taxation, it would be nothing.

The Sichuan-Chu Religion Rebellion conservatively estimated that more than [-] million people died...

During the Taiping Uprising, more than half of the people in the country were displaced...

……

Is what you see in front of you still miserable?

This is the norm!

Zhu Youjian whipped the horse on the buttocks, causing the horse to run wildly in pain.

The hot wind blew Zhu Youjian's cheeks.

Zhu Youjian's inner irritability was forcibly suppressed in his heart...

Li Dingguo, Wang Fuchen and others saw this and hurriedly drove their horses to catch up.

Zhu Youjian ran for several miles, the horse panted heavily and its speed gradually slowed down.

"Go to Xuanfu!"

Zhu Youjian spit out three words.

Seeing the emperor's gloomy expression, everyone did not dare to ask any more questions and followed him silently.

……

Zhu Youjian went straight to Xuanfu, preparing to meet Li Laiheng.

At the same time, Cao Huachun had also received a secret message from the spies - Zuo Mao's first line had been released from the capital.

"Where did the person go?"

Cao Huachun squinted his eyes and sat upright on the Grand Master's chair.

"Governor, according to our calculations, we should have arrived in Tongzhou by now."

The messenger silently calculated and reported the accurate data.

He left the capital yesterday afternoon. Along the way, Zuo Maodi didn't stop. According to his footsteps, he should have arrived in Tongzhou at this time.

However, the spies they deployed in Tongzhou have not yet sent back any news...

"Let our people pay attention. As soon as the time is right, take action immediately!"

Cao Huachun said with a ferocious face:

"Those Tartars in the dark don't need my instructions on what to do, right?"

"Don't worry, Lord Governor, I have already sent people north to prepare for support."

In the lobby, the messenger said in a deep voice.

"Go, remember, be sure to save Zuo Maodi for me!"

Cao Huachun waved his hand.

The messenger left quickly. Cao Huachun called his brother Cao Huayu and said:

"The first level of preparation is not safe. The people my brother informed you are ready at any time."

Cao Huayu nodded.

They have been planning for a long time and have been waiting for this day.

He thought about it and said:

"I'm going to go to Xianghe personally. If you can't get it, I'll do it myself.

If Xianghe cannot be attacked, then according to the agreement, when Zuo Maodi reaches the border of Wuqing, he will attack immediately. "

"Please trouble brother."

Cao Huayu stood up without answering, hugged his fists at his brother, turned and left.

……

Zuo Maodi did not know about Wu Qing Cao Huachun's conspiracy.

Zuo Maodi, who had just been taken out of the water prison by Dorgon, did not dare to stop for a moment after learning that he had been released, and went straight to the south of the Yangtze River overnight.

Along the way, Chen Hongfan kept complaining, saying that he might suffer losses if he traveled all night, so it would be better to wait until dawn...

Although Zuo Maodi did not know that Chen Hongfan had completely surrendered to the Qing court, he did not see Chen Hongfan during the days he was in water prison.

There was a vague guess in his mind - this deputy envoy who was traveling with him might have been attracted by Dorgon.

Zuo Maodi, knowing full well that his journey south would inevitably be followed secretly by Qing spies, ignored Chen Hongfan's several protests and insisted on speeding through the night.

After traveling all night, we finally arrived outside Tongzhou City.

Chen Hongfan had already paid his respects to Zuo Mao's 18th generation ancestors in his heart, but he couldn't get angry.

Ever since Zuo Maodi mercilessly attacked Dorgon that day, Zuo Maodi has won the support of the vast majority of the entire mission.

He was entrusted by the regent, the emperor's father of the Qing Dynasty, to delay Zuo Maodi's trip.

Seeing Tongzhou right in front of him and remembering his mission, Chen Hongfan had no choice but to speak again:

"Brother Zuo, we have been traveling all night, and we are already exhausted. We have arrived at Tongzhou City. We are far away from the capital, so we might as well rest for a while.

In this way, it was better to contact our spies and arrange a boat to go south via the canal instead of walking. "

Chen Hongfan's words won the resonance of everyone in the mission.

After being thrown into the water prison for seven days, the members of the mission, who had already reached the end of their strength, managed to reach Tongzhou with a sigh of relief.

At this time, seeing that they were out of danger and the giant city was in front of them again, the members of the mission suddenly felt that they could no longer squeeze out a trace of strength.

"Yes, Mr. Zuo, let's take a break for now.

Besides, even if we can still support it, this big animal will have to eat and drink. "

Everyone started to agree.

Zuo Maodi raised his eyes and looked around at everyone with his pale cheeks.

His body was already exhausted, but he could barely hold on through gritted teeth.

"Everyone!"

Zuo Maodi's voice was as hoarse as a spoon rubbing against the bottom of a plate:

"When we left the capital, everyone also saw that although the Qing army tried their best to cover it up, the traces of the army's mobilization could not be hidden.

Think about it, why did Dorgon lock us up for seven days and didn't allow us to return south until half afternoon yesterday? "

Everyone's minds changed.

Chen Yongji exclaimed:

"What Mr. Zuo means is that the Qing government wants to use troops against me in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Zuo Maodi had a gloomy face and nodded vigorously:

"Although the Qing court does not allow us to find out the news from the outside world, I have already extracted the news from Li Jiantai's mouth——

Wuna Dorgon suffered defeat under Emperor Chongzhen one after another.

In addition, on the way south, everyone also saw what it was like under the Qing government.

Dorgon, do you still dare to fight Emperor Chongzhen?

You think, who is Dorgon targeting when he mobilizes his troops and generals at this time? "

Chen Hongfan's eyes widened.

The rosy-faced man and the others who had been imprisoned in the water jail for seven days formed two extremes.

Seeing that Zuo Maodi actually got the truth about the Qing Dynasty, he was shocked and hurriedly helped to cover it up:

"That's not certain. Maybe Li Jiantai tricked us?"

"Shut up nonsense!"

Zuo Maodi was furious and scolded:

"If Dorgon wanted to attack Emperor Chongzhen, why would he imprison us?

Since he imprisoned us and uncharacteristically did not let us go until midnight, that can only mean one thing! "

Zuo Maodi put his hand on the hilt of the sword, locked Chen Hongfan's face with his peripheral vision, and said word by word:

"Dorgon's goal is Jiangnan!"
