Nanming Engineer

Chapter 305
Chen Qiyu's funeral was arranged by Xu Tiezhu, and it was beautiful and grand. Kuizhou Mansion and Shizhu's consolation envoy Si Danfan were all present, and Qin Liangyu also sent someone to send the funeral ceremony. Even Princess Changping, after learning about it, A banner was also sent.

His hometown is in Baode Prefecture, Shanxi Province, the road is far away, and it is under the control of the Qing court. It is impossible to return to the ancestral grave.However, when Chen Qiyu was in critical condition, Xu Tiezhu found a Feng Shui master and found an auspicious place in Fengjie with mountains and rivers behind him. He hurriedly built a mausoleum, packed the body in a good coffin, and buried it here.

Wearing sackcloth and a white belt, Wang Huan stayed in the mourning hall with Xu Tiezhu, Chen Kun and others for seven days, fulfilling his filial piety as a disciple. On the day of the funeral, he personally helped the coffin, walked out of the city with the hearse, and walked in front of the funeral procession. Behind them, Chen Kun and Xu Tiezhu acted as sons and nephews, holding the spirit card and holding the filial piety stick, crying all the way, mourning and mourning, because Chen Qiyu's contribution in defending Kuizhou was well known, and the people of the city spontaneously followed behind , dragged a long column, winding for several miles.Everyone is tearful, everyone is sad, and everyone who sees it hides his face.

After sending the coffin to the ground, burning incense and kowtowing in front of the grave, Wang Huan stood behind Chen Kun and Xu Tiezhu who were still kneeling and crying in front of the tombstone, thinking of Qin Liangyu who was also dying, his heart seemed to be stabbed by an iron awl. Sad inexplicably.

A person's life passes by in a hurry. Like Chen Qiyu, although he has great talent, he ends up in exile in the countryside. It is such a pity and only laments the cruelty of fate.And how lucky I am to be a human being in two lifetimes. If I can't cherish time, seize my youth, and turn the wheel of history, won't my life be wasted?
He was a mining engineer in his previous life, and in this life, he will be an "engineer" who will build a new era.

This is the oath Wang Huan made when he faced the common grave where more than ten young monks were buried at the foot of Stone Mountain on Wuchang Road.

The lonely grave in the dense forest, the blood feud on the cliff, every time Wang Huan dreams back at midnight, thinking of the staring eyes of Huogong monk Hu Dahai, he will suddenly wake up, and then put on his clothes and get up, unable to fall asleep all night.

He was thinking, thinking about what was the root cause of the chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty, thinking about the way to end all this, thinking about what he, an insignificant self, could do.

Wang Huan's personality is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, like a spring of good quality. The greater the external pressure, the harder he is pressed, and the greater his determination and strength to rebound.

The departure of each partner made Wang Huan extremely determined to change the world in grief. At the same time, the road map for ending the troubled times gradually became clearer in his mind.

Seeing him staring at the tombstone in a daze, Li Dingguo, who was silently guarding behind him, had been waiting for a long time. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he stepped forward slowly, and whispered next to Wang Huan: "Junmen, people who die cannot be resurrected." ,Please grief."

Wang Huan closed his eyes, took a long breath towards the sky, shook his head and sighed: "Flowers bloom and fall, and life and death have their own destiny, I understand. What I am sighing is not Mr. Chen's death, but sighing. I lost a good teacher and a comrade in arms, the so-called thousand soldiers are easy to get, but a general is hard to find, now that Mr. Chen is gone, how can I not regret it?"

Li Dingguo looked at the tall tombstone. It was made of a whole piece of bluestone and was two feet high. On the Shinto in front of the monument, there were pairs of stone sheep, stone horses and stone tigers standing on both sides.On the front of the stele, there are several block letters and black characters engraved with "the tomb of Chen Gongqiyu, governor of the five provinces".

He bowed to the tombstone, and then said softly: "My lord, there is an urgent report from eight hundred miles to the north. The messenger has been waiting in the yamen for half an hour. Will you let him wait?"

When Wang Huan heard this, he frowned and rushed for eight hundred miles. This was a method used by the Kuizhou army when they urgently conveyed military information. They changed horses but not people at the inns along the way to ensure that the bamboo tube fire paint military report sent would not be lost, indicating that the north must be Something big happened.

"No! Li Tingyu won't use [-] miles to expedite matters that are of great importance. This matter must be related to my life and death. Go! Follow me back!" Wang Huan said decisively, and he confessed a few words to the accompanying guards , Let them tell them to go back to the magistrate's yamen after Xu Tiezhu and the others finish kowtowing, then jump on the horse led by Li Dingguo, and head straight for Fengjie City.

After entering the city and arriving at the Yamen, Wang Huan stepped into the lobby, and saw a military centurion covered in dust, sitting on a stool drinking water.

The centurion recognized Wang Huan, and when he saw him coming in, he quickly got up, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "The last general has seen the military gate!"

Wang Huan sat down in the hall with a sword and a golden horse, waved his hands and said, "No! Where's the letter?"

The centurion took out a small inner bamboo tube from the bamboo tube on his back, handed it to Wang Huan with respectful hands, and said, "This is the wax paint applied by General Li himself. Please check it at the military gate."

Wang Huan took it and looked carefully, but saw that there were actually two layers of wax paint. The first layer was the seal of Chen Xiang of the Kuizhou spy team, and the second layer was Li Tingyu's seal.

It seems that after Li Tingyu received the letter from the bamboo tube, he didn't even open the seal, but directly covered it with his own wax, and sent it to Kuizhou Mansion.

This further showed that the matter was urgent. Wang Huan raised his eyebrows, thinking that Chen Xiangyuan was in Xi'an, setting up a detailed network to spy on the Qing court. The urgent report he sent must be related to the Qing court.

Thinking this way in my heart, the movements of my hands were a little faster, I opened the seal of the wax paint, and poured out a roll of paper from the bamboo tube.

Looking at Zhan Xin, Wang Huan felt his temples jumping up.

The letter simply repeated a sentence: "Datong Jiang Tuan Fan! Da Tong Jiang Tuan Fan! Da Tong Jiang Tuan Fan!"

Say it three times.

Wang Huan showed a solemn face, pinching the letter paper, resting his forehead and meditating.

Jiang Yu, the commander-in-chief of Datong in the Qing court, has [-] soldiers and governs the entire Shanxi Province. Although Wu Weihua, the Gongshun Hou of Shanxi Town granted by the Qing court in name, is more powerful than him, in fact, as a father and son who has cultivated Shanxi for three generations, Jiang Yu The strength in Datong is far beyond that of Wu Weihua, a southerner.

His rebellion against the Qing Dynasty was inevitable in history, and Wang Huan knew it, but that happened in January next year, and now it is ahead of schedule.

Jiang Yu turned against him because the Qing court was dissatisfied with him. When Li Zicheng fell from power, he was confused by the signboard played by the Manchus to avenge Emperor Chongzhen. He would go back, but he didn't want Huang Taiji to want flowers and rivers, so he hurriedly promoted a Ming Dynasty clan as emperor, wanted to be the powerful minister who supported meritorious service, touched the taboo of the Qing court, and was beaten repeatedly by the Qing court , repeatedly threatened to remove his title and seize his military power, which made Jiang Guan very nervous.

At the end of this year, when the Khalkha tribe of Mongolia invaded the border, Dorgon ordered the British Prince Azig to lead the troops to Datong for defense. end?
However, Wang Huan's butterfly effect made the Khalkha tribe move ahead of time. Correspondingly, Azig's arrival in Datong was also ahead of schedule, which finally led to Jiang Guan's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty ahead of schedule.
