The Qinhuai River gave birth to the ancient civilization in Jiangnan and was a mother river that made great contributions.

I never thought that today, when talking about Qinhuai River, there is always ambiguousness in words. From high-ranking officials to peddlers and pawns, men always have tacit and obscene smiles in words. The brightly lit buildings and boats and the tender land of luxury have become synonymous with flowers, willows and alleys.

"The businesswoman does not know the hatred of the destruction of the country, and still sings the back garden across the river." The country is decayed and the invasion of foreign races does not seem to have any impact on the place.

Enke who came to visit was still the official gentry of the Ming Dynasty in the previous series. The only difference was that these officials all changed their hairstyles and had a ridiculous pigtail braid on the back of their heads.

The girls are just poor people who are laughing, so what qualifications do they have to choose Enke? Not to mention that they are wearing pigtails, even if they are really pigs, they can only smile with tears in their eyes and smile with their mouths, and be happy with Bo Jun.

Pushing open the small windowsill of the building boat, the lazy beauty put on a thin Luo Chen coat, naked with a pair of jade feet, and drew her eyebrows in the bronze mirror. She was the head of the most popular courtesan in Qinhuai, Bian Yujing, one of the eight beauties in Qinhuai. At that time, there was a lustful prince, and once said: "Look for Bian Yujing in the wine bowl, and Chen Yuanyuan came from the bottom of the flowers." These two famous courtesans are beautiful and dominate the folks in Qinhuai.

"Why is it so deserted today?"

The pretty little maid beside her said while combing her hair: "Yesterday, I heard from Mr. Wu's servant that Mr. Hong Chengchou is coming to Jinling today. It is said that Mr. Hong has been promoted again and has become a high-ranking official named "Admission to the Grand Secretary". Those guests who come to us must have been welcomed."

Bian Yujing did not comment and continued to draw his eyebrows. National hatred and family hatred are too far-reaching topics for these canaries.

Long dragons have long been listed outside the city gate of Jinling. Now the Qing army is in great power, and Hong Chengchou is the Grand Secretary of Military Affairs appointed by the Qing court to recruit the military affairs of the Southern Governor, and can be said to be the King of the Caotou in Jiangnan. For a time, the nobles in Jinling City rushed to welcome him, fearing that the position was too low and Grand Secretary Hong would not see him.

Seeing Hong Chengchou's car frame from afar, these people smiled like blooming chrysanthemums. Hong Chengchou looked at these gentry who were extremely excited. When he saw him, he was happier than his own father, he felt mixed feelings for a moment.

The last time he was welcomed by the streets, he defeated the bandits in Shaanxi. The late Emperor Chongzhen promoted him to the title. However, most of the people were happy and cheerful ordinary people, but today there was not a single person, all of whom were nobles in brocade clothes and jade belts.

In order to dispel the Han people's nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty, the Qing court renamed Jinling Jiangning. The governor of Jiangning was a treasure of the country. Unfortunately, the governor of the country who is best at buying these governors to welcome the officials has already been put to the ground.

Jiangning Admiral Cao Cunxing came out from the crowd and knelt towards Hong Chengchou's frame, saying, "Secretary of the People and Jiangning elders, welcome Grand Secretary Hong. We have already held a banquet in Changle Building, so please give us a look."

When everyone behind him heard this, they knelt down one after another, and even the Jinling City Wall behind them seemed to be a little shorter.

Hong Chengchou lifted the curtain of the car and said, "I thanked Jiangning's elders for me. The military situation is urgent, so don't drink anymore. Notify Jiangning's officials to go to the Governor's Office to discuss matters."

After saying that, he drove all the way into the city and headed straight to the old palace in Jinling.

Everyone behind them got up and looked at each other, feeling that their faces were lost.

Cao Cunxing's face was gloomy and said in a deep voice: "Master Hong doesn't like extravagance, so let's go. Civil and military officials, follow me to pay a visit to the master."

Cao Cunxing brought people into the Governor's Office, and Hong Chengchou had already sat in the upper head and had been waiting for him for a long time.

When all the officials saw Lord Hong wearing military uniforms, they did not dare to neglect them, and they all sat down according to their positions.

Hong Chengchou saved the politeness at the beginning and said directly: "I believe everyone knows that the Jiading traitor Hou Xuanyan first defrauded Suzhou, and then killed Lord Boluo. Boluo is the grandson of Taizu, with a dragon blood dragon vein. This revenge must be avenged. Recently, he heard that he killed Lord Tu Guobao, the governor of Jiangning, and Lord Zhang Cunren, the governor of Zhejiang. These are all second-rank officials of the country, and this revenge must be avenged. You guard Jiangning, not far from Suzhou, so what do you have to say to me?"

Everyone in the hall kept silent. Hong Chengchou looked angry and was about to explode. At this time, a personal soldier entered the hall and knelt down and said, "Sir, there is an envoy from Suzhou who claims to meet you."

Hong Chengchou and the Qing generals were stunned for a moment, and then said, "Let them come in."

Xu Yuanbao walked into the hall in a big lazily manner. The soldiers from Jiading behind him didn't care that this was the enemy's nest.

When he came, Hou Xuan Yan spoke, and Hong Chengchou would never hurt them. Hou Xuan Yan's words were like the golden rules in the ears of the remains of Jiading.

"Why did Hou Xuan plays a thief and asks you to come?"

Hong Chengchou's voice was rare with a little tremolo. He really couldn't imagine what would happen if Hou Xuanyan sent an envoy to come at this time. They were already in the same power and killed Beile of the Qing court, which was a loss that had never happened since entering the pass. Even if the Qing court accepted the surrender of the Southern Ming Emperor, they would not accept Hou Xuanyan.

Xu Yuanbao didn't dare to be too arrogant. He shook his head and said with a grin, "Our Lord Hou said that he would exchange the corpses of Boluo, Jixiha, and Tuo, Zhang Cunren, Tuo Guobao for 800 kilograms of gunpowder, 10,000 stones of grain, and 3,000 military horses. If it were changed, wait for you to lead your troops to the city of Suzhou, don't forget to bring these things."

Hong Chengchou had a strong anger in his eyes and said coldly: "What if I don't change my official position?"

Xu Yuanbao didn't care about Hong Chengchou's pressure at all. He was just a traitor. No matter how high the official was, he was just a humble dog slave in his eyes.

"Our Lord said that you'd better ask the master of Man for this matter. If you make a decision without authorization, we are afraid that you will be scolded by your master."

Cao Cunxing jumped out and cursed: "Shut up! Dog bastard dares to insult Grand Secretary Hong."

Hong Chengchou waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Retreat. The two armies are fighting and will not kill the envoys. I, Hong Chengchou, is not Hou Xuanyan, and I do not use the means of a vulgar villain."

When Xu Yuanbao heard him insulting Hou Xuanyan, he retorted: "I have already said that we, the despicable villains who do not want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, will take the lead. Grand Secretary Hong, my master asked me to tell you something, Suzhou City Gaochishen, Cao Cunxing, and Li Yingzong are definitely not our opponents. I hope that the master will lead the troops personally to be able to fight."

When Cao Cunxing Li Yingzong heard this, his face turned red and he was about to come up to kill him. Hong Chengchou shouted angrily, repelling the two of them and said, "Go back and tell Hou Xuanyan that if he knows the current affairs, I will fight to the death to protect him from the death penalty. If he is stupid and unscrupulous and resists the heavenly soldiers, I promise that even though the world is big, there will be no place for Jiading people to live!"
