Chapter 9 Changed the world 2
Call back the time for a few months.
Nikan had high hopes for the surrendered civil servants, but what a little disappointed him was that famous people like Fan Wencheng, Ma Guozhu, Bao Chengxian and others ran away with Haoge.
But Hong Chengchou, Yao Gong and others still made Nikan take it very seriously.
At this time, although the Qing Dynasty set up six ministries, Censorate, Hongwenguan and other institutions on the first floor of the central area, the power was still controlled by the Manchu nobles, and in the local area, it was almost entirely governed by the Eight Banners system. In other words, for example, Tieling City, Ebilong was not only the garrison of this city, but also the master of the bannermen near the city. In addition to collecting his own rent, he also had to collect taxes for the court.
Therefore, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, most of the literati who could surrender to the Daxia Kingdom came from the Six Ministry, the Censorate, the Hongwenguan, or the literati who served as coat-coated slaves for each banner owner.
An important official like Hong Chengchou was also a coated slave with the yellow flag at the beginning, let alone others.
In the end, there were more than 100 civil servants who took the initiative to surrender to Daxia, mostly Han people, and a few Manchus and Koreans.
These people all entered the Government Branch of the Military and Political School. Unlike the expectation that "at this time of storm, the barbarians in the north must be eager to seek talents and visit the cottage three times." These people actually arranged for them to live in a room like those surrendered generals, five people lived in a room in Datongpu.
"It's simply insulting!"
In Liaodong, although these literati were all slaves, once they entered the Eight Banners, there were other slaves serving them, which was not as good as the top and the bottom. In the end, they all surrendered. Once they entered the banner, they could still get a job in the Six Ministry, the Censorate, and the Hongwenguan, Huang Taiji was still generous, and most likely they would grant a mansion in Shengjing and Liaoyang.
Now, their houses have not been taken back by the Daxia Kingdom, but they did not immediately appoint official positions. They have to concentrate on "studying" for half a year. Naturally, they are not very happy for those who claim to be "full of poetry and books", "proficient in" and "Zhenshiwei Kingdom". After barely coming, they must be unhappy in their hearts when they see the accommodation conditions.
The person who spoke was a bachelor from Hongwenguan, from Zhejiang, named Wang Wenkui. He was forty-five years old. He was originally a scholar from Zhejiang. He was unfortunately captured while traveling to Yongping and was finally taken to Shenyang. After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he entered Hongwenguan.
The house where Wang Wenkui is located is the number one person. In addition to him, there are four people, Hong Chengchou, Lei Xing, Ma Mingpei and Cao Rongguang. As the team leader, he has naturally defected to Cao Rongguang of the Daxia Kingdom. He is a serious scholar in Yongping. Lei Xing and Ma Mingpei are both natives from Liaodong and are also from Ming Dynasty scholars. In the first imperial examination after Huang Taiji ascended the throne, both of them were the first batch of Qing juren.
Among the five, except Cao Rongguang, who was in his early thirties, the remaining few were all in their forties and fifties.
Wang Wenkui was thin and became the governor of the canal transportation in the Qing Dynasty. He must have been a person with some abilities. Moreover, before that, although he was just an ordinary bachelor in Hongwenguan, he was very trusted by Huang Taiji and almost his "secretary".
Cao Rongguang was valued by the Kingdom of Great Xia and could stand firm in Liaodong, a place with extremely narrow living space for civil servants. Naturally, he had his own uniqueness, not to mention that he was also the "group leader" designated by the instructor. He sneered when he heard Wang Wenkui's words.
"Sir Wang, I heard that you were seeking an official in Beijing fourteen years ago, and you spent all your money and gained nothing. Finally, you came to Yongping to find relatives and friends. After being captured by Jiannu, you kept complaining about everything. After coming to Liaodong, you worked as a purse slave for a full seven years."
"For seven years, you have planted land and served your master's food and daily life. I heard that you have to wash your master's feet every night. Hahaha, every day, you can only sleep in woodlands and livestock rooms. You have survived for seven years. Now you have changed your new master, no one lets you do cattle and horses, and the house in Chenyang is still preserved. After coming to Jinzhou, you can see that you have a great scholar in chatting and laughing, and there are no white men when you come to the world. It's just that there are more people."
"Hmph, no matter how bad it is, you can get worse than the woodshed or livestock room?!"
Cao Rongguang was from Yongping, and his ancestors were hereditary families of the Ming Dynasty. He was tall and had been working in Ma Guanghui's army since he arrived in Liaodong and had dealt with military generals a lot. He was also invisibly a bit of military style in his words and actions.
What's more, now he has cut off the rat tail of the money behind his head, put on a Tang scarf, held it in his left hand on his abdomen while speaking, and pointed at Wang Wenkui with his right hand, while Hong Chengchou and others are still in their previous clothes, and their momentum is inevitably weaker.
Wang Wenkui was about to fight back a few words, but Cao Rongguang continued to curse: "You are unfilial descendants, who have been away from your parents for more than ten years and have never been to a letter to greet them diligently, but are you filial? Children and young girls are all adults. Those who marry married and those who marry married, you have fulfilled your responsibilities as a father?"
As soon as these words were said, Wang Wenkui's open mouth immediately closed. He fell to the big kang in depressed manner, holding his hands tightly together, and trembling slightly. His face was white and red, which seemed to have touched him just now.
In fact, since he was admitted to the first batch of juren of the Qing Dynasty, he immediately married a Manchu woman. Now he has new children. His relatives who are far away in Kuaiji, Zhejiang have probably forgotten them.
Among the remaining few people, Hong Chengchou was captured for a short time, not to mention that when he was captured, people like him would naturally not be sent to ordinary bannermen as slaves. Lei Xing and Ma Mingpei were locals, and there was no problem of "a thousand miles apart but unable to see" from their relatives.
However, Ma Mingpei didn't care about this. He was only 38 years old this year and was favored by Huang Taiji at the age of 17. Later, he successfully passed the first batch of juren. Although he surrendered to Daxia after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, in his heart, Huang Taiji had "happiness" to him.
"The Cao Gang said this badly. After Lord Wang came to Liaodong, at this time, the Ming Dynasty belonged to the enemy country. How could he communicate and greet? Moreover, once he became a minister of the Qing Dynasty, how could he contact the Ming Dynasty repeatedly?"
In the original history, Ma Mingpei served as the governor of Jiangnan and fought with King Lu and Zhang Mingzhen in succession, and was not a simple figure.
"Pu", Cao Rongguang turned around, voluntarily shook his sleeves, and made a pulsating sound. He continued to maintain his condescending posture. Not only that, his fingers almost pointed to Ma Mingpei's nose.
"You guy is even more unbearable than Wang Wenkui!"
"you!"
"What are you? When the old slaves attacked Liaoyang City, your family was the deputy general of Liaoyang, and there were hundreds of people in the whole family. After Jiannu came in, all the men in your family were massacred, and most of the female relatives were sold in the east of the city, and your mother was among them! You hid in the pile of dead people and escaped by luck."
"Later, you became a slave of the bannerman and became a juren and a scholar in the Qing Dynasty. It is not unreasonable. At this time, others wrote a letter to get rid of their families from slavery. You are so good. Your mother suffered all the torture in a brothel, but she didn't expect her son to come until she died!"
"It's so unfaithful, unfilial, cruel and mean person like you who are even salivating and shameless in living in the world, which is simply outrageous!"
Cao Rongguang's words left Ma Mingpei speechless.
However, this is also a common problem for Liaodong to surrender to the Qing literati. Not only him, but even Fan Wencheng, who is of high status and powerful, has to endure the hatred of taking his wife and can enter the house without changing his face. This practice is really admirable.
Anyone with some integrity will probably die.
"His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia said it"
When they heard this, everyone with complex expressions, including Hong Chengchou, was cheered up.
"Although you are all scholars, there is no real Confucian scholar. Not to mention great scholars like Fang Xiaoru and Yu Qian, even if there are no one like Yang Lian, our country values scholars, but it is not the only one. If anyone can have the talent of Zhang Juzheng, even if he is not as good as Zhang Juzheng, he can use it if he is proficient in common affairs."
"So," Cao Rongguang seemed to feel Nikan's blessing for him, and his voice became excited, "Put it down and wait for the stinky airs of the past, and study in the military and political school for half a year. At that time, if there is something really worth it, the empire will not treat it unfairly, otherwise, it will be when you wait to become a slave again!"
"Oh", Hong Chengchou, who is the most prestigious among the few, finally spoke out.
As soon as he spoke, Cao Rongguang was not so "arrogant", but looked at him with a hint of respect, which seemed to Nikan had explained to him before.
"I've been imprisoned, and I'm still very gentle. I've done all my stinky cell. What's wrong with such a clean and tidy house? I have no other thoughts. Just one, Lord Cao, you seem to know everyone's background. How did this... do it?"
"Mr. Hong", Cao Rongguang bowed a little, "I'm not only in the Qing Dynasty, but also in the Ming Dynasty. Let's say that, if Daxia is willing, there is nothing I can't find out. Haha, Mr. Hong's family is in Fujian. The emperor has also said before that, if all the families are still in the Ming Dynasty, after half a year of practice, they are willing to stay in Daxia to do things. The government can also bring them to Daxia. For Daxia, it's a pleasure to raise their hands."
"What's more"
A trace of mystery appeared on his face.
"According to the emperor's speculation, the days of the Ming Dynasty are almost over. At that time, I'm afraid there is no need to take over the family, haha."
As soon as these words came out, Ma Mingpei and Lei Xing were nothing, but Hong Chengchou's expression changed drastically.
He ignored Cao Rongguang and staggered into the yard. At this time, the autumn wind was in full swing. After a cool breeze blew over, his nervous mood calmed down a little.
"Da Ming, is it really not possible?"
"boom……"
As if it was suitable for the situation, a thunder sounded from the sky.
"The spring thunder does not hibernate, and the autumn thunder does not stop sounding"
Mei Yaochen's poem suddenly came to his heart, and Cao Rongguang's aggressive words just now made him feel inexplicably depressed, as if he was even more powerful than when he was captured in Daling River.
