The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

There are several different theories about the time when Tiandihui was founded, but there is still no conclusion yet.

Its members were originally farmers or small handicraftsmen transformed from bankrupt farmers, small traders, transport workers along water and land transportation, and other vagabonds without fixed occupations.

In the future, the composition will become more and more complicated, but the lower class poor people are still the main ones.

Among them are many heroes from the green forest, as well as unruly disciples from martial arts families.

The fourteenth elder brother used this hand, and the two big men in green clothes were not sure, so they had to report to the higher authorities. Then the next day, the fourteenth elder brother was lifted out of the water prison and went to a room. After washing, he changed Putting on a suit of clothes, he ate breakfast lightly, and then went to the meeting hall in a refreshed manner.

This place is the lair of water bandits, and also a branch of the Tiandihui.

When he entered the door, he saw a lot of people here. The person sitting in the right seat was a thin old man. When he saw Brother Fourteen, he frowned: "Brother is also a gangster?"

"I'm not, my master is." Fourteenth elder brother grinned: "My master is an old man. He drank too much and slept on the street. He almost died of freezing. I saved him, so he taught me a little self-defense. Kung Fu, my father and my brother were all let go by me, otherwise, how do you think they got out of the water prison? Besides, there is a way for thieves, we are just ordinary businessmen, why did you arrest us and lock us up? In a water prison? Our family has a bit of a fortune, and if we want a ransom, we just ask for a certain amount. My father has bad legs and feet, and if he soaks in too much water, he will get sick."

A water dungeon is not a good place.

"Didn't you say that you are not allowed to be locked in a water prison?"

"Master, there is no place to detain people. They sent them late, so they were locked in the water prison."

They have limited space. Although the water village is very large, there are only a few cells, but there are many water prisons, so they just locked them in.

"Where are you from?" the helmsman asked Brother Fourteen.

"From Hebei, Tangshan, Hebei." Fourteenth elder brother grinned: "But our family is in the capital, for the convenience of doing business, we will stay in the capital for more than half a year before returning to our hometown. We owe our family 800 taels of tea, we don’t want money, we want tea, and we have to know that the 800 taels go outside the customs, and can be exchanged for 3000 taels of cattle, horses and fat sheep on the Mongolian grassland.”

Fourteenth brother didn't lie, because Fei Moshi told him so, Fei Moshi's natal cousin took a businesswoman as a concubine, and the cousin's daughter-in-law passed away, and the family was headed by this businesswoman Anyway, the three nephews born to my sister-in-law are all married, so I'm not afraid of a concubine's house being turned upside down.

The concubine's body broke after giving birth to two daughters, and she would never be able to have any more children in this life.

My natal family is a businessman, and my cousin invested in the caravan because he relied on his title as Manchurian to avoid getting stuck in checkpoints on the road.

In addition, their family is still running from north to south. There are two caravans, one from the south and the other from the north, to earn the difference.

The fourteenth elder brother said the truth, but in fact he was using the name of the concubine's family of Fei Mo's natal cousin to fool people. Taking advantage of the underdeveloped information here, he wanted to ask for proof that it took at least a month's journey.

Besides, Elder Fourteen has sent everyone away, so I'd like to slip away too!

With acquaintances by his side, it's not easy for him to make a fuss, and it's easy for him to be alone. No matter how nonsense he talks, no one will come to ask for proof... There must be time to ask for proof.

If there are four princes and the others, what if these people interrogate them separately?

The fourth elder brother and the others don't know so many local dialects.

Brother Fourteen can handle it by himself.

There are also some people in this group who are in business. For Brother Fourteen, they don't need to travel far to verify, they just need to find a familiar businessman and ask.

As a result, when people asked, it was true.

Some of these people couldn't help complaining: "I just said look again, look again! You want to arrest people, and now you have arrested seven or eight groups of people, all of whom are masters and young masters. It's either rich or expensive, and after causing such a lot of trouble, the Tartar Emperor and his son have not yet been caught, isn't this blind man lighting a lamp in vain!"

"But this opportunity is rare. The Tartar Dog Emperor has a private visit. How many times can he come to Jiangnan in his lifetime?"

"Then you can't do it so hastily."

A group of people started arguing again, and the fourteenth elder brother heard the general idea. This group of people did not know where they got the news, and they knew about his Huang Ama's private visit.

However, he is not sure what his Huang Ama looks like to them?

Therefore, it was unlucky for the master to take his four sons out to play outside.

They would rather catch the wrong ones than let them go, and then pull them to their water village, and then take a chance to identify which group is the one, and the others will let them go after they are confirmed.

As for why there was no move to silence him?

Brother Fourteen guessed that they had no other choice.

After all, Jiangnan is their foundation. If there are many big cases in the local area where many wealthy businessmen and their heirs are unlucky, it may affect business exchanges in the future.

Besides, it is not easy for them to manage their image among the people. After all, it is a shady industry. Rebellion also needs to plan albums and support from the people. The people in Jiangnan have never seen the emperor for generations, but Kangxi came three times.

In comparison, in the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, Kangxi is closer to them.

As for Daming?It's almost a hundred years since the country died, so what else is there to worry about?It's just that some people don't give up.

Or they are selling dog meat under the guise of sheep, shouting slogans louder than anyone else, and making calculations more accurately than anyone else.

They also pay attention to "rabbits don't eat grass by the side of their nests". If the general environment fluctuates, people like them can't stay.

They kept arguing until dinner started, but there was no result, but Brother Fourteen was not sent back to the water dungeon. That place is indeed not a place for confinement, so he was changed to a guest room.

Brother Fourteen's requirements are very simple, he can take a shower, wash his hair, have clean clothes to wear, and just be careful with his food. He can make do with it.

So the fourteenth elder brother ate tofu and cherry meat in the mirror box at night, and Gusu braised duck marinated fresh.

Big white rice, and a fresh fish soup.

Elder Fourteen had a good meal, and then went to sleep. He slept soundly, and he understood the principle of recharging energy.

Anyway, I was tired and sleepy, and even snored when I fell asleep.

I got up early the next morning to eat wontons, and when I was full, the house was still closed, and no one could escape when the door was locked.

But the things he took away were returned, that is, jade pendants, fan covers and other things, but the hand crossbow of the [-]th brother and the dagger of the thirteenth brother that were taken away were not returned.

They were not afraid of him running away with his things.

What's more, this water village is surrounded by water, and if you don't know how to row, it's like you're limping, and you can't run away even if you want to.

But it didn't work the next night. As soon as it was dark, people were walking around in the water village, and then in the middle of the night, they heard the sound of shouting and shouting. Brother Fourteen woke up and found that the person guarding him at the door was gone. up!

Great opportunity!

If you don't run now, when will you wait?

Elder Fourteen just stomped his waist and got out through the back window. He didn't dare to get in before because there was always someone guarding it. Now that there is no one, what are he waiting for if he doesn't run away?

After going out, I found out that the water village is quite big, it should be built on an island, and it was completely dark all around. Brother Fourteen didn’t dare to find a torch to light it up. He saw someone roaring in front of him, so he leaned over Hearing it secretly called luck!

It turned out that the other party knew his identity!

"Hurry up and press that fourteenth elder brother over, the officers and soldiers are here so we can have the capital to negotiate."

"Remember to break his legs so he doesn't run away!"

So Brother Fourteen ran even faster!

I can't run away. His legs are straight, he is very satisfied, and he doesn't want to be discounted.

Walking in one direction all at once, the scrambling was actually quite embarrassing, but the faint shouts of killing from behind made Brother Fourteen even more frightened. It would be a disaster if he was caught.

First you have to break your leg.

The second is the prince who died in battle in the Qing Dynasty, but the elder brother who was not arrested.

The Manchus admired bravery, and being defeated or captured was a great shame!

So he asked Kangxi and his brother to go first, and let Twelve and Thirteen protect them. To be honest, these two martial arts are better than him.

Now he is running alone, of course it is easy.

Although he didn't know the direction, Elder Fourteen still touched the edge of the water village. There was a deep bamboo forest, and there were a few bamboo rafts parked beside the pond in the bamboo forest.

Poor thing, Brother Fourteen wants to cry.

He used to play with bamboo rafts in Changchun Garden, but the servants supported him to play on the bamboo rafts, let alone only played twice.

I just remember that a strong eunuch helped to support the bamboo raft with bamboo wormwood. It seemed to be quite strenuous, but it slipped into the water very smoothly.

I don't know if I can do it.

Before getting on the bamboo raft, Fourteen thoughtfully cut off the ropes on the other bamboo rafts, then boarded the only bamboo raft by himself, propped it up with bamboo wormwood, probably it is often used offshore. place, slipped out with one stroke.

The dark fourteenth elder brother bit the bullet and walked the night on a bamboo raft on the dark water.

Fortunately, he walked a long way before looking back, and was frightened immediately, the water village behind him was full of flames!

Regardless of whether the officers and soldiers attacked or not, anyway, he wanted to stay away from the place of right and wrong.

Slowly waiting for dawn, he didn't have the strength to support the bamboo wormwood anymore.

Going around a reed marsh, I landed on a wild beach.

Elder Fourteen did not leave in a hurry, but tidied himself up. At least he looked good. His dagger has never left his body. This is his last weapon.

After landing on the shore, he found a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. The two silver coins in his purse were still there. This was only four taels of silver. He used the two taels of silver to stay in an inn. After taking a bath, he washed his clothes and dried them thoroughly. After staying in the inn for another night, I asked where this place was by the way.

I got the news that this is Hangzhou, and not far ahead is the Qiantang River and the Slender West Lake.

He hid his mind and spoke Mandarin with a Shanghai accent, pretending to be a person from Songjiang Prefecture.

He didn't go out until the next day. He went to the carriage and horse dealer like a dog, and hired a black-covered carriage.

"How far is it from here to the Golden Gate by the West Lake in Hangzhou?" he asked in an honest handlebar style.

"It's not very far, and it can be reached in half a day."

"I'll give you two taels of silver and take me there." Elder Fourteen only had two taels of silver left in his hand: "Is that all right?"

In fact, two taels of silver is a bit small, but the handlebar is an honest person, and he thinks it is good to make money: "Success, let's go!"

The car is not big, but he is alone, and there are no other things to take up space, so he can sit comfortably, not to mention that there are many people in Jiangnan who take boats, but few people take cars.

The carriage was bumpy, and he chatted with the handlebars by the way, knowing that this is the boundary of Hangzhou. In fact, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Wuxi and Nanjing are connected by a waterway, and they can float along the water as long as they take a boat.

It goes all the way to the mouth of the sea on the south side of the Songjiang River, that is, Wusongkou.

"The holy driver has been stationed in Jiangsu for the past few days, and many high-ranking officials have gone there to meet the emperor!" No matter how honest the handlebars are, when the driving is boring, he will also chat with the guests and talk: "I heard There are quite a few adults who brought their families with them!"

"I brought my family members to visit the Empress Dowager, right? I heard that the Empress Dowager is here too." Elder Fourteen is now chatting with the handlebar in Mandarin with a Shanghai accent: "Nong Jelly is blessed!"

"Yes, yes!" said the handlebar, "Listen to your accent, you're from Songjiang, right?"

"Well, from Alasongjiang." The fourteenth elder brother said: "I was just studying outside. This time, when Shengjia came, the college closed its doors. They said that they would start classes after Shengjia left, so I wanted to go to my uncle's house. have a look."

"It's good to go and have a look, if there are too many people, don't squeeze together!" The car handle chatted with the guests he had pulled, including scholars and people from his hometown, and chatted all the way.

And not long after the fourteenth brother left, a group of big men in green clothes went to the inn to stay. By the way, I asked if there was any young son staying alone?

The innkeeper said: "There is one, from Songjiang Prefecture, who went to his uncle's house, a scholar, a student of the college."

The big men couldn't help being disappointed, it wasn't the person they were looking for.

And that night, they were surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers, and a bloody battle broke out in the inn, and the officers and soldiers wiped out each other.

At noon that day, Elder Fourteen arrived at the city wall of Jinmen by the West Lake in Hangzhou, Jiangnan. Elder Fourteen paid the fare for the car and drove away. After searching there for a long time, he found a mansion of General Zhen Guo.

He went up to knock on the door, came out a door, looked at the fourteenth elder brother, and found that the fourteenth elder brother was well dressed, so he cupped his hands and asked, "Excuse me?"

"I don't know that Ergenjueluo Hao Siwen is a man in the family?" Elder Fourteen asked the other party a name that hadn't appeared for a long time.

Menzi was stunned: "The family has been divided, and the third master has divided the house in the city. The third master is now the guerrilla general, and that is the guerrilla general's mansion."

Elder Fourteen grinned, he even found the wrong door!

"Thank you for letting me know, brother. I'll go find the third master right now." The third master, remember what Ergenjueluo Hao Siwen said, he is not the boss in the family.
