Chapter 564: Storyteller Outside Xunyang Tower

"Pa!" Xing Mu made a crisp sound, and the people in the teahouse became quiet. This is a teahouse at the dock on the Jiujiang River. Taking advantage of the light from the dock, business is booming. And the world-famous Xunyang Tower is not far from this teahouse. Xunyang Tower is a very, very lively place in Jiujiang.

"We have talked about "The Secret History of Jianlu" before, and talked about the romance of Abahai of Ulanara clan. Today we will talk about "Nine Dragons Seizing the Progeny" again." The storyteller grasped the tone very well and exhaled loudly, Pick up the tune. In other words, the storyteller in this teahouse is quite famous. After this opening, although there were still people talking in the teahouse, it remained relatively quiet overall.

Chen Ming and Chen Ding were in the private room, and their voices could be heard very clearly.

Chen Ding's ears stood straight up. There is not much entertainment in this era. I heard that books are not only a hobby for people at the bottom, but also for the upper class. And the most important thing is that this line of work is convenient.

The profession of storyteller roughly began in the Song Dynasty, and has developed to this point, which has been passed down for hundreds of years. Regardless of whether they are factual or not, folk performing arts stories are the best performances of these storytellers. Even many "traditional novels" in China in the 21st century are actually from storytelling.

"Big Eight Righteousness", "Little Eight Righteousness", "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", "White Eyebrow Hero", "Yang Family General", "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan", "Wagang Village", "The Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties", etc. Yes, it can all be related to storytelling.

Chen Ming was influenced by his previous life. Even though he has lived in this time and space for ten years, he doesn't like storytelling much. But Chen Ding is different. The little guy likes listening and speaking books very much. In the palace, the old lady and Chen Ming's mother also like to tell stories and watch plays.

"What is the Nine Dragons to seize the direct descendants? Which Nine Dragons is this? I will come with you one by one."

"Kang Mazi Xu Chi had twenty-four sons, nine of whom participated in the fight for the throne. These nine sons are: the eldest brother Yinti, the second brother is the deposed prince Yinreng, and the third brother Yinfeng Zhi, fourth elder brother Yinzhen, the eighth elder brother Yinzhen, the ninth elder brother Yinzhen, the tenth elder brother Yinzhen, the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, and the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen finally won and succeeded to the throne after the death of Emperor Kangxi. This is Emperor Yongzheng.”

Chen Ming knew what the storyteller was going to say. Slandering the previous dynasty should be something that every subsequent dynasty would do. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties severely slandered and smeared the Ming Dynasty. When Chen Han rose up, they were naturally merciless in slandering the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. This "Kowloon Seizes the Heir" is not the "Yongzheng Dynasty" of CCTV in the 21st century, nor is it the "Kangxi Emperor" of some kind. The focus is different. This "Jiulong Seizes the Heir", edited by the Department of Education, focuses more on Kang Mazi pulling out the pearl to fight for Suo'etu in order to ensure the imperial power and for his own supremacy. In order to suppress the prince and Suo'etu's family, he won the big prize The son came to the ring with the second son, and then three, four, eight, nine, thirty-four, and several sons came one after another.

The Ba Ye Party has risen, and they are suppressing it. The fourth child stood out, and the general Wang raised his head...

The two wasted princes peeked into the emperor's curtain, disrespected their teachers, were violent and unkind, and beat up the kings, Baylor, ministers, and concubines, and even ruined Mazi's food path as fictionalized in later novels...etc. ,etc. Everything was poured in with added fuel and vinegar.

The true and false friendship between Yongzheng and Concubine Nian, the devastating mother-son relationship with his mother, and the death of his biological mother Wu Yashi, Yongzheng's treatment of his opponents after he ascended the throne, and the treatment of Long Keduo and Nian Gengyao. Dangerous...

What stands out in "The Seizing of the Progeny in Nine Dragons" is Kang Mazi's ruthlessness, treachery and insidiousness. It is the struggle for power and profit among Kangxi's sons. You suppress me, and there is no sense of brotherhood, respect, benevolence, or blood kinship. It's not that Kang Mazi was wise, powerful, and kind-hearted, but the princes were both civil and military, and they were dragons and phoenixes for a while.

"...The third prince Yinzhi was born in March of the 16th year of Kangxi. He was proficient in literature and calligraphy. He was outstanding among many princes and was deeply loved by Kangxi."

"The emperor and I all say that his son has outstanding literary talent, so Yinzhi can't do it even if he doesn't want to read."

"So from time to time I went to the market to collect ancient books. After I found the ancient books, I presented them to Emperor Kangxi for reading."

"Yinzhi came into the palace again today. He was downcast and unhappy. His hands were empty and he didn't bring any new books to the emperor."

"Kangxi is very strange. What happened to his son? Could it be that he was wronged outside? Who is so bold?"

"Just ask questions quickly."

"Yinzhi replied with a bitter look on his face: "But it's not that he was wronged by others. But Erchen saw a banned book in the street market - "The Legend of the Heroes of the Emperor Ming Dynasty". Such banned books are still circulating in the market. I am worried about our Qing Dynasty. "

"When Kangxi heard that it was "The Legend of the Heroes of the Emperor Ming Dynasty", his face immediately darkened. He first sent an order to Shuntian Mansion and raided the bookstore. Then he also became worried."

"It has only been a few decades since the Ming Dynasty was defeated. The Jianlu invaders came to the Central Plains as a foreign race, and the foundation was unstable. There were constant voices of anti-Qing among the people. This is evident from the fact that there are people under the emperor's feet in Beijing who dare to sell banned books."

"Then what should we do? Kangxi asked Yinzhi first."

"This Yinzhi has been prepared for a long time." He replied: "This matter should be fought with fire." ""The Legend of the Heroes and Martyrs of the Emperor Ming Dynasty" was mostly spread among the storytellers in the market. From the Ming Dynasty to the present three hundred years ago, it has been subtle and has a great influence on the people." The storyteller is not talking nonsense. Time goes forward for sixty, seventy or eighty years. How many storytellers in the world can't read "The Legend of the Heroes of the Emperor Ming Dynasty"? If we can say how much effort was put into banning this book in the Qing Dynasty, how widely circulated this book was among the people.

"Even if the Qing government banned the book, it is still circulated among the people, and there are many storytellers who know it."

"The influence of this book lies on the storyteller, and more so on the circulation of texts among bookstores in the market."

"I thought that on the one hand, the storyteller should be prohibited from discussing the story again, and on the other hand, Zhu Ming's private dirty work should be collected and announced to the world."

"Yinzhi sounds nice, but in fact he wants to slander, slander and slander. Everyone, imagine, have any of you heard of "The Legend of the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" in these years? Aren't they all "The Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" and "The Legend of the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty"? Here it is. There are indispensable allusions about burning the Qinggong Tower and bombarding the Qinggong Tower.

Speaking of this, Zhu Hongwu raised an army to overthrow the Meng Yuan, conquered the world, and became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He became suspicious of the founding ministers who had shared the joys and sorrows with him, and was deeply worried that they would rebel and seize his throne. He was also worried about those who were related to him. His brothers, who had gone through life and death to conquer the world, relied on their merit to seize power, so they built a celebration building. On the day when the celebration building was completed, he held a banquet and invited all the civil and military heroes to come to celebrate the victory. However, he secretly sent people to bury a large amount of gunpowder and dry firewood downstairs, preparing to take the opportunity to set fire to the building and destroy it in one fell swoop to eliminate future troubles. .

Although this was done very secretly, it was seen through by Liu Bowen, who was clever and calculating. At the banquet, Liu Bowen sat next to Zhu Yuanzhang and quietly pressed a corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon robe onto his chair. When everyone was drunk, Zhu Yuanzhang quietly left the table. Liu Bowen was immediately alert because of the tug on his clothes, so he followed the emperor out. Sure enough, after Zhu Yuanzhang went downstairs, the Qinggong Tower was enveloped in rolling flames. Thousands of distinguished officials and maids attending the banquet were all killed in the flames. "

"There is nothing more poisonous than a woman's heart, but if this scholar gets into trouble, he will be a hundred times more vicious than a woman."

""The Legend of the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" became "The Legend of the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" and "The Legend of the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty". Over time, the people of the world only heard about the latter but not the previous ones. I don't know how many people regarded the Hongwu Emperor as a vicious, mean and violent person. Jun..."

Chen Ming was also listening with his ears pricked up. This was really beyond his expectation. The storyteller in the teahouse actually played "Nine Sons Seizing the Progeny" in new ways.

"Dad, is this true? Is it really made up by the Tatars when Emperor Hongwu burned down the Qinggong Building?"

Chen Ming was brought back to his senses by his son's voice. He glanced at Wang Huizu and said warmly to Chen Ding: "Otherwise? Do you think this would have happened in the Ming Dynasty?" That is absolutely impossible. So it can only appear during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Although all the origins cannot be verified, the Qing Dynasty's fault is not wrong. It is also a very talented performance to blame Kang Mazi and one of his sons.

"Sir, this is a new version of the novel published by the Education Department of Jiuzhou Prefecture. It is for internal trial use in Jiujiang Prefecture."

Wang Huizu quickly understood the ins and outs of this scene. "The director of Jiujiang Prefecture's Education and Education Department is named Zhang, and he is from the Zhang family in Tongcheng."

"Mr. Zhang?"

"A direct branch of the Zhang family, the fourth generation grandson of Zhang Tingyu."

Although Zhang Tingyu was rejected by Qianlong in his later years, he was in a state of embarrassment and frustration, which also affected the future of Zhang's descendants. However, many of his sons and nephews still hold the position of first- and second-rank officials, especially his four sons. Even though the second son Zhang Ruoai died early, he still held the position of Minister of Rites. It can be said that the Zhang family is glorious. Zhang Tingyu is still very dazzling after his death.

When Chen Han raised his army, the Zhang family in Tongcheng was also a wealthy and prominent family in Anhui. It's just that the Zhang family was naughty and had secretly colluded with the Fuhan Army. Although they didn't make any great achievements, they still had a sense of affection. After Chen Han swept the world, Zhang's farmland and shop shrank greatly, but he still managed to keep his business.

"Haha, the great-grandson of Zhang Tingyu, who deserves to enjoy the Yongzheng Ancestral Temple, slandered Kangxi..." Chen Ming suddenly felt happy in his heart. This is really interesting!

"This is a good statement. Transfer it to the Department of Education and promote it throughout the world."

"According to the order."

Wang Huizu respectfully accepted the order and stepped back. He made eye contact with Liu Wu who was standing outside the private room. A self-explanatory sigh rose in the hearts of both of them at the same time. This is the Zhang family that will never die. The emperor immediately remembered him! Good luck.

…

Hundreds of wounded were lying in the wounded and sick gathering place behind Irkutsk, and the smell of blood rushed straight to their noses. From time to time, painful groans reached Father Alexander's ears. Alexander, who was wearing a black priest's robe, walked around the outer edge of the tent and reached the seriously injured bed area where the sun could be exposed - the people lying here had just undergone amputation surgery. An unlucky guy missing a leg or an arm.

People in twos and threes were humming and groaning, and some were crying silently.

Alexander didn't pity them, nor did he think they were really pitiful.

First, he is a Russian; second, he is a priest walking in Siberia.

Any Russian knows what Siberia means. Game is abundant here, but cowards cannot survive here. The Russians have been exploring Siberia for more than a hundred years, and an old mark has been formed here that is engraved in the hearts of all Russians.

As a priest walking in Siberia, Alexander himself is not lacking in courage.

Of course, he also prays for the wounded and dead Russians. Alexander prays sincerely every day. If possible, he hopes that all the wounded and sick will recover in an instant. In this era without antibiotics, not to mention bullet and artillery wounds, even if they are cold weapon wounds in hand-to-hand combat, many people will die helplessly under tetanus and infection. Whether the wounded and sick, especially the seriously injured, can survive depends entirely on luck.

Postoperative bacterial infection and wound ulceration, even the God believed in by Europeans can't solve it! Of course, in Alexander's view, this is the time to test people's faith. As long as you sincerely believe in the Lord, the Lord will naturally protect his lamb.

Compared with the medical camp of the Fu Han Army at this moment, the military doctors and medical environment in the Russian army are really terrible. There is not even enough concentrated salt water and strong alcohol to clean the wounds, let alone the traditional wound medicine in Chinese medicine. Although the effectiveness of those wound medicines against knife and gun wounds is relatively limited, it can indeed reduce the probability of wound inflammation and ulceration to a certain extent. The wounded and sick may suffer a little, but it is much better than losing their lives anyway.

Not to mention the soldiers with rotting wounds, the Fu Han Army has an invention of the Western medical community - maggot therapy.

It is said that as early as hundreds of years ago, people discovered the cleaning effect of maggots on infected wounds. In the middle of the 16th century in the West, people in Europe had already discovered that the maggots breeding on the infected wound surface would not aggravate the infection, but would be conducive to healing. However, Europeans have never systematically organized this set of therapies on a large scale. Instead, the Fu Han Army was the first to apply this therapy system to the army.

Although at the beginning, this maggot therapy was not accepted by people at all, it was too disgusting. At the beginning, from the generals and military doctors to the most ordinary soldiers in the army, they all resisted the maggot therapy resolutely, but everyone had to bow their heads in front of the facts. This seemingly disgusting therapy is really beneficial for treating the wounded.

For the Fu Han Army, the life of every soldier is precious. The establishment of the medical camp is not for the treatment of officers, but for the officers and soldiers as a whole. Even during the war, the difference in treatment between middle and lower-level officers and soldiers was not great. The place that can reflect the difference in status between the two is not the medical camp on the front line, but the sanatorium in the rear.

Alexander completed his prayer, but sadly, the soldier who received the prayer still died on the operating table. Now he needs to go back to his tent. It is unknown how long this battle will last.

The Torghuts from the north fell to the ground. Alexander could see the Fu Han army encircling the Torghut cavalry with an absolute advantage outside the city when he stood on the city wall. They didn't know how many of these Torghut cavalry could escape. I hope the Russian army can really give strength, so that no more people will come to this wounded place full of painful screams...

The battle in Irkutsk continues.

There is no shouting and killing, but bursts of gunfire came from the sky above Irkutsk. After the Fu Han army dealt with the Torghuts, they took advantage of the momentum to launch an attack on Irkutsk. As a result, the Fu Han army and the Mongols who were the vanguard were beaten to a bloody pulp under the city. Although Irkutsk had been blasted with several holes by artillery shells, the Russians' resistance was still strong.
