The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

The 14 people, five and six, got off the boat. When they saw the three of them, they were overjoyed: "Did you make such a big commotion when you came here? Really!"

The Fourteenth Master was very enthusiastic, and everyone was very polite. Say hello to him, he called out, and hugged the swimming coach who hadn't seen him for a long time: "Master Hao Siwen, long time no see."

"Master Fourteen, it's been a long time. You've grown so strong." Hoswin looked at Lord Fourteen with a hint of pride in his eyes. He taught a double prince and a Lord Baylor.

Although the thirteenth master is not as high as the fourteenth master, everyone said that it was because the thirteenth master had made mistakes, otherwise, with the thirteenth master's contribution to saving his family, it would be more than enough to be a county king.

The Fourteenth Master has always been the one in the Emperor's heart.

Everyone else is a prince, but he is a double salary.

Proud!

Others saw that He Siwen was really the master of the fourteenth master!

In fact, the Fourteenth Master also made it for others to see, so that people could know his relationship with Hao Siwen.

And many people were skeptical at first, because Hao Siwen's experience in Beijing was not high, he had only been a bodyguard, and he was a second-class bodyguard guarding Changchun Garden.

The first-class guard can still talk to the master.

The second-class bodyguard is not necessarily the case, let alone the master who is the prince.

There are more third-class guards, as numerous as a cow's hair, and the master may not have seen them.

But when the Fourteenth Master came, he not only shouted and spoke quickly, but also hugged He Siwen when he saw He Siwen. This kind of intimate behavior, the relationship between these two people is definitely not ordinary.

Then the Fourteenth Master hugged Nian Gengyao again: "Liang Gong, where is your house? Where is the big garden?"

"I have prepared everything for you. I haven't seen you for more than a year. Master Fourteen, you are even more handsome!" Nian Gengyao hugged Master Fourteen vigorously. He hadn't seen this person for more than a year. I feel that I miss it, but now that we meet each other, I find that I miss it even more.

He really couldn't let go of this person.

The Fourteenth Master even hugged Cao Yong: "Cao Yong!"

"Fourteenth Lord." Cao Yong was also very happy to see Fourteenth Lord: "You can be regarded as coming. The slaves are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I am looking forward to you!"

Cao Yong lost a lot of weight. He used to be a little fat man, but although he lost weight, his whole body was full of small muscles.

It's much healthier.

The complexion is rosy, and the eyes are bright.

"I'm here to help you." Fourteenth Master patted him on the back.

Fourteenth Master only hugged these three people, and the others raised their hands and nodded.

It can be seen from this that Master Fourteen is getting close to three people. As for the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Master Fourteen just nodded reservedly.

The position of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is very important, mainly in Guangdong and Guangxi. During the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was established. At first, it was to quell the rebellion of ethnic minorities, and later it was to supervise the political and military forces of Guangdong and Guangxi. It is a powerful position. .

In the Qing Dynasty, this kind of local political system reform was finally completed, and the status of the governor as the chief official of the border had been established. Their basic duties were to "govern the army and the people, comprehensively control the civil and military affairs, inspect and elevate officials, and repair and seal the border."

The scope of its jurisdiction, official rank, and local establishment are all very clear, and it plays an increasingly important role in the political life of the entire country, becoming a powerful pillar for consolidating state rule and stabilizing society.All administrative policies of the central government need to reach the governor first and be implemented below. At the same time, the central government receives the actual effect of centralization by decentralizing powers to the governor.

Such an existence like a feudal official in the frontier is just a slave in front of the Fourteenth Lord.

"Slave Guo Shilong, please greet the Fourteenth Lord." Guo Shilong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, hurried over and greeted the Fourteenth Lord alone.

He called himself a slave, not a minister, because his family belonged to the Han army with red flags.

People who are in the banner, if they are a pure Hanchen, they should call themselves "chen".

"Governor Guo, get up." Fourteenth Master looked at him with his hands behind his back: "I know you."

Guo Shilong smiled: "The slave also said that the prince, Prince Xun, and double-budget prince, are unique in the Qing Dynasty."

Guo Shilong is a bit older, in his sixties, but his body is strong.

"I heard from Huang Ama that Mr. Guo was an upright official, lenient in government and caring for the people. At first, he succeeded Zuoling, added rites to Wai Lang, then became Yushi, and finally became the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Minister of the Ministry of Punishment." The Fourteenth Master said: "Guo Shilong, courtesy name Changbo, was a man with red banners inlaid in the Han army, a minister of the Qing Dynasty. His father, Guo Hongchen, was originally from Fenzhou. At the end of Tang Dynasty, Liang Wang Zhu Quanzhong demolished Chang'an, and the descendants of Qinrenli were forced to live scattered in Luoyang, Fenzhou, Taiyuan and other places," The descendants live scattered in the Fen and Jin Dynasties, "Master Guo, you are a descendant of Duke Guo Ling of the Tang Dynasty."

In other words, Guo Shilong is a descendant of Guo Ziyi.

The only person in history who is the number one scholar in literature and the number one scholar in martial arts, and who used martial arts to help the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty.

Whether it is official history or unofficial history, Guo Ziyi is a well-deserved example of a minister.

Guo Shilong, a descendant of Guo Ziyi, is also a capable man.

At this time when Guo Shilong was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, because the sea area of ​​Guangdong Province was more than 45 miles long, and the flood was vast, thieves often appeared and appeared.Guo Shilong adjusted the battalion system, added warship patrols, defeated the pirates many times, sunk [-] of his ships, and reported the capture of five Haiyang pirates including Cai Yuye.

Emperor Kangxi sent Chang Shou, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, to Guangdong Province for investigation. Chang Shou thought that Guo Shilong was not strict in suppressing thieves, and he concealed the thieves vaguely, so he reported to the court that Guo Shilong's official position and rank should be deprived.

However, Kangxi suddenly activated Guo Shilong again this year, and he still served as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

This Guo Shilong has been ups and downs for decades, and he is an old man in the officialdom.

The governor of Guangzhou was Tong Jiayan, who was Tong Jiaqinggui's cousin. Before Shisi left, he gave Tong Jiaqinggui the position of Prince's Governor.

Of his four companions, only Tong Jia Qinggui was the most well-informed and came from a high background, so he let Tong Jia Qinggui look at the palace.

Now he has something to do with Tong Jiayan.

As for the others, they were basically young officials and generals. They didn't have much impression and didn't know much about them, but everyone knew the Fourteenth Master.

In the future, this person must never be messed with. He didn't say anything when he took office, but he brought 5000 people with him to serve him. In addition, Long Live God named this double-paying prince, Prince Xun, who would dare to mess with him?I must tell the boys at home, especially the troublesome ones, to stay at home and shut them up honestly.

The group received the Fourteenth Master solemnly, but the Fourteenth Master was tired, so Nian Gengyao took the Fourteenth Master to the Prince Xun's Mansion, which he specially built for the Fourteenth Master.

It used to be called Baylor's Mansion Bieyuan, but Nian Gengyao changed the name of this place when he was granted the title of Prince Xun on the [-]th.

The Fourteenth Master fell in love with this place when he arrived, because this other courtyard is on a mountain.

The mountain is not high, but the main building is on the mountainside. The whole mountain is a back garden, not to mention the lush greenery, and all the fruit trees are planted.

There are fruits to eat all year round.

In the large area circled around, the walls are covered with rose flowers, and when the wind blows, the flowers are fragrant.

The building inside looks like a flower expo, and the main building on the mountainside is a very unique palace-style building, which is in line with the identity of the Fourteenth Lord.

On the top of the mountain, there are two scattered stilted buildings, bamboo stilted buildings, very wild and interesting.

The residences of the guards are all around, and the residences of the guards are at the foot of the mountain. It can be said that the fourteenth master is surrounded by two floors. These people are brought by the fourteenth master. They are responsible for the safety of the fourteenth master. Fourteenth Lord, unscathed.

There are no maids and servant girls here, just internal servants.

It was a bit of a surprise to the Fourteenth Master, none of the maids in his mansion followed, not to mention that each of them was old, and it was time for them to marry and have children. Mammy.

There are no female relatives here, but he is much more at ease.

"It's not bad here, you've worked hard." The Fourteenth Master patted Nian Gengyao on the shoulder: "Lianggong, you've got a heart."

He could tell that it was designed like a garden, similar to the Changchun Garden. What's even better is that there is a small waterfall on the mountain here, which forms a mountain spring and stream, and there is no shortage of water.

It really took Nian Gengyao's heart to find such a place and build a garden for him to live in.

"It's not hard." Nian Gengyao smiled, his smile was as bright as the morning sun: "It's as long as the Fourteenth Master likes it."

"I like it!" The fourteenth master also smiled, and when he said these two words, his heart trembled.

Or, this is unspeakable feelings.

Nian Gengyao was also taken aback, he felt his heart beating violently, even more violently than after he rescued him.

However, the atmosphere between the two of them was interrupted as soon as they became ambiguous, and Ma Lianying came: "My lord, Mr. Nian, Governor Guo brought people to hold a banquet at Guangweilou. Please invite the prince and your lord to the banquet."

"It's noon the day after tomorrow. I'm tired, so I need to rest for two days." Fourteenth Master was a little depressed.

Nian Gengyao blinked, and was a little disappointed: "The Fourteenth Lord, take a rest, and I will come to pick you up the next morning."

Going to the banquet is a must. There are not many officials in Guangzhou, but the local people are very united, especially there are many Hakkas here.

The Hakka is the only ethnic group that is not named after a region, and it is one of the ethnic groups with a wide distribution and far-reaching influence in the world.

The name Hakka originates from the system of giving guests during the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the system of customers during the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Immigrants and naturalized persons are all compiled into Hakka, and Hakka people are called Hakkas, belonging to the Han nationality.

Hakka is not only a title of Han nationality, but also a concept at the cultural level, which is completely different from the concept of Manchu.

Hakka culture is known as the living fossil of ancient Han culture. Hakka language is a living fossil of ancient Chinese. It can correspond to the pronunciation recorded in ancient rhyme books such as "Qie Yun", "Tang Yun", "Guang Yun" and "Ji Yun", and retains a large number of classical Chinese characters, such as The Hakka pronunciation of you, me, and he is the ancient pronunciation of er, wu, and qi.

Hakka Studies is a prominent school in today's world.

To put it bluntly, it is different from the Manchus, very different. This is probably the most complete branch of the Han system preserved.

The Manchus' incomprehension of the sea gave these people the soil to survive. They refused to accept discipline, but now they will not be dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty. As long as the Qing Dynasty is not weak, they will not be strong.

Moreover, many relatives of these people were difficult to take refuge in those years, that is, the Han people in Nanyang, who are inextricably linked with them.

Fourteen knows that in his previous life, the Han people in Nanyang, especially the survivors of the Han nationality in some countries, even in the 21st century, their wedding customs are still the traditional style of the Han nationality, and the bride will wear a big red embroidered Phoenix The horse face skirt, the small jacket of the Confucian jacket, the phoenix crown and Xiapei, and the scarlet hijab.

The groom's official is also wearing a bright red wedding dress, with a black gauze hat and a big red flower on his head.

But in Cantonese, he knows a few Cantonese songs, and he has to speak Mandarin, which is ancient Mandarin.

Fortunately, when the officials take the exam, one of the points is that they must learn to speak the official language, otherwise it is basically impossible to communicate in the court.

The Fourteenth Lord settled down here, and the cooks made some simple porridge and side dishes for everyone to eat the first night.

From the second day onwards, I showed my strengths and made fish porridge and ox-eye shellfish steamed eggs for everyone.

Nian Gengyao sent someone to bring fresh fruits and a lot of saltpeter, which were used to make freezing point, to cool off the summer heat of Fourteenth Master.

The second day after the little bottle arrived here, it was alive and kicking.

"How are you?" The Fourteenth Master saw that the little bottle miraculously ate a whole bowl of fish porridge, and also ate a whole plate of steamed eggs with ox-eye shellfish. Don't look at the little bottle, which is seasick, but he loves it the most. eat seafood.

"Okay, my lord, this servant has long been healed." The little bottle bounced up and down: "This servant can take good care of my lord again."

"Well, it's fine as long as it's done." Two days ago on the boat, he vomited whatever he ate in the small bottle, but now he ate everything.

"It's just right, the lord is going to the banquet tomorrow, we will all go along, put on our best clothes, so that people don't underestimate the lord." Ma Lianying is the head of the servants, although he is not as close as Xiao Pingzi to the Fourteenth Lord, But he has a better grasp of the overall situation than the little bottle.

"Your master will not be underestimated." The fourteenth master was delighted: "Find out your best clothes."

"That's the Prince's dress." Ma Lianying shook the luggage list in her hand: "Do you want to change into a dress?"

"Forget it, on such a hot day, the big dress won't kill me!" Fourteenth Master pursed his lips: "Just find a prince's ordinary clothes for you."

big dress?He's crazy to wear a frock coat.

Early the next morning, Nian Gengyao came, wearing an official uniform.

Sisi was delighted when he saw it: "Why are you dressed so seriously?"

"Today, not only people in the officialdom, but also big businessmen are here to join in the fun. You have to be steady, Fourteenth Master. Those big businessmen have been looking forward to you for a long time."

"Let's look forward to it. They will have to tighten their skins when I come. How about the tax?" The fourteenth master is concerned about the tax issue.

"Fortunately, they are very law-abiding. After all, the imperial court can open the sea ban, and they are too late to be happy!" Nian Gengyao said, "I'm afraid this benefit will be lost."

The sea merchants have been aggrieved for so long, and finally they can go to sea openly, can they not cherish this good opportunity.

Everyone used to talk about what happened to the Manchurians, but now no one talks about it.

The posture of singing praises every time he opens his mouth.

"Let's go, let's see what they have prepared for the master?" The fourteenth master took the lead to go out: "If it doesn't taste good, just overturn the table."
