There is no such thing as the Kangxi and Qianlong eras

Chapter 44: Write a Biography of the Lustful Monk of the Qing Dynasty

Of course, the evil monk Wang Shuxun was not killed.

It would be a real idiot if we don't make use of this evil monk Tongzhi who is so interesting that he can be used to write public opinion articles.

Nie Yu did not let this guy continue to manage the government office. He just asked him to hand over his work and then hurried back to rewrite his experience from a demon monk to an official into an autobiographical novel. He also specially assigned two scholars to polish his writing.

He had already thought of the title for the book, which was "The Biography of the Lustful Monk of the Qing Dynasty", and he would also give it an exquisite cover using modern technology to increase its appeal.

As for the content, a "lecherous monk" helps lonely young women from the Eight Banners of Manchuria in Beijing solve their problems. After being exposed, he successfully buys official positions with the help of these "close female friends". He even buys himself the position of Tongzhi of a prefecture and is about to be promoted to prefect and return to Beijing for "reunion".

Not to mention what would happen if this got to Emperor Qianlong's ears, even if it got spread among the Qing Dynasty, it would be enough to tear off the fig leaf of the "Golden Qing Dynasty"!

(To be honest, I couldn't believe it when I checked this part. This was a memorial recorded by the Grand Council itself, and it was not until the 20th year of Jiaqing that the impeachment was made, which means that this guy had been the prefect for at least 20 years.)

Outside Jingzhou City, on the Yangtze River waterway.

A large ship flying a flag with Chinese characters slowly docked at the riverside pier.

Until he was helped off the boat, Nie Jieren felt a little dizzy, not because of seasickness, but because he was shocked by his son's series of good news.

It was only a few months ago that he made up his mind and revealed to his son that he was a member of the White Lotus Sect and was preparing to launch an uprising against the Qing Dynasty in March of the following year.

result……

First, he captured the county town, then forced Zhang Zhengmo to leave and seized power in the area. He then broke through Zhijiang County, captured the Qing Dynasty's Hubei Governor alive, and wiped out 300 Manchu Eight Banners soldiers.

Now, looking at the tall Jingzhou city wall in front of me, the swaying Han flag is hung on the city wall.

Even though Nie Jieren had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't believe it: "This Jingzhou City... my son actually took it?"

Nie Lin, his cousin who had come with him, was speechless upon hearing this, but he also sighed with emotion, "I never thought that my Nie family would have the opportunity to rule the city one day. It's really the blessing of our ancestors. My Nie family has truly produced a unicorn this time!"

Although Nie Lin was forced to join Nie Yu's anti-Qing army before, he still held some resentment.

After all, any landlord or local tyrant, even if he doesn't become rich, at least has hope for a good life, and may even plan to send his son to the county school to take the imperial examination in the future.

Suddenly tell him that the head of your family is rebelling. If you lose, you and your entire clan will be punished and executed, so go and help him now.

What the hell...

To be honest, when Nie Lin just received the letter from his cousin Nie Jieren, he almost wanted to run to the county on the spot, point at Nie Jieren and Nie Yu's noses, and curse their ancestors for eighteen generations.

But then he thought again, he would be at a disadvantage, so he calmed down.

Up to now, it is hard to say that all the hard work has paid off, but once the provincial capital is taken, the situation will be different. It is possible that the Nie family may actually have a chance of success!

If he fails, his entire clan will be executed. If he succeeds, he will at least be a prince or a duke.

"Old Master, you are here. The General has been waiting for you for many days."

Wang Er was still in charge of the reception, mainly because he was familiar with the faces. If he sent someone else, he might not know them on both sides.

Nie Jieren instantly put away his "country bumpkin" look and said calmly, "Well, lead the way!"

Wang Eryi waved his hand and greeted him with a smile: "Old Master, please come into the city and get in the sedan chair! This is the sedan chair that only the governor can ride in on weekdays."

Nie Jieren's expression was so intense that he lost his composure in an instant. He looked at the big sedan chair, which was indeed different from the one the county magistrate rode in. It was obviously expensive, and with so many people carrying it, it was obvious that not everyone could afford it.

That's right! After all, Hui Ling was a member of the Eight Banners nobility, and a highly regarded official of the Mongol Eight Banners, a politically influential figure. Naturally, he was wealthy. Nie Yu wouldn't just sit around and cancel a sedan chair; it was the lifeblood of the sedan bearers.

Not only bureaucrats, but also merchants, wealthy people and those with some money can ride in sedan chairs. If you cancel the sedan chairs, the sedan bearers will starve to death!

Don’t talk about equality in ancient times, it’s all bullshit, just like eating a full meal!
……

The General's Mansion (formerly the Jingzhou prefectural government office).

Today, Nie Yu rarely summoned the heads of wealthy families in the city, as well as many pseudo-Qing surrendered officials, and Han army civil and military officials including Feng Xiuyong.

These wealthy family heads were all a little restless. General Nie Yu first ordered the army to force them to cut their braids and grow their hair, and then divided up their land and property to disintegrate their complex power.

Now that they are summoned together again, is it possible that they are finally going to strike the final blow and raid their homes to make money?
None of them believed what Nie Yu had said before, that if they actively cooperated with the land distribution, they could keep their family property and floating assets, and each household could keep hundreds of acres of land and be given several years of tax exemption.

In their view, everything was just a delaying tactic of the rebels. As long as they were rebels, they would always be unable to escape being robbed of food and wages.

After sitting and waiting for most of the day, the head of the Chen family could no longer bear it and stood up to ask, "General, what is the matter that requires us all to gather here today? If the army urgently needs donations of money and food, as long as you give us an amount, we can sell everything we have to contribute."

His words quickly ignited the silent atmosphere in the hall.

"Master Chen is right, General. If you are short of money, just give us an amount. As long as our Xu family can afford it, even if we can't, we can still contribute to your anti-Qing cause."

"Yes! If the general wants money, my Li family is willing to donate all our wealth. Please consider my old age and leave a way for my Li family to survive."

"General, please give me a chance to live!"

"..."

For a moment, all the wealthy family heads in the hall were talking at the same time and begging humbly.

They were not deliberately trying to trick Nie Yu, nor were they trying to retreat in order to advance. They simply couldn't bear it anymore.

Rather than having your family destroyed by rebels later, it is better to save your family now.

Feng Xiuyong stepped in just in time to stop the farce: "Ahem, there's no need for you, family heads. The general has no intention of killing anyone!"

The words were spoken very bluntly, but at such moments, the more blunt the words, the more reassuring they would be.

These family heads were indeed persuaded, because Feng Xiuyong made his words clear, and the other party was the "trusted" adviser of the rebel general, so he should not be lying to them.

"Then why?" asked the head of the Chen family again.

Feng Xiuyong explained with a smile, "It's just that the general's father will be here today, so please come and meet him together!"

That's it!

"It turns out that the old man is here!"

Patriarch Chen understood now and immediately bowed and smiled.

Several other family heads, as well as the surrendered officials and Han army civil and military officers who were also summoned, all understood what was going on. No wonder there were so many people and such a grand ceremony.

It turns out that the old man has come to the capital, so the ceremony must be grand!
While some of these wealthy family heads looked down on Nie Yu, they had to admit that this rebel general was quite filial. Being so capable and filial, one wondered what kind of talent this rebel old man possessed to raise such an "outstanding" son.

"General, the old man is here!"
