Chapter 92: Descendants of Traitors
"You said you are..." It's not in the sky bridge, in the teahouse where Luo Xin and Mo Jing had drunk tea, the people and others were shocked by the singing grandparents and grandchildren.
...
Hong Chengchou's granddaughter.
This is the identity of that little girl...it is indeed amazing enough.
Hong Chengchou is a traitor! And an amazing traitor! Wu Sangui is also a little worse than him.
Since he surrendered to the Qing court, he has been highly valued by Huang Taiji and later Dorgon. He can be said to be one of the two Han people who made the greatest contribution to the Qing Dynasty (the other is Zeng Guofan). At that time, the three regimes of the Southern Ming Dynasty were destroyed by Hong Chengchou! Longwu regime, Hong Chengchou recruited the real power faction Zheng Zhilong (Zheng Chengchou's Laozi), and Yongli regime, and he recruited Sun Kewang (Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son), completely laying a solid foundation for the Qing army to completely wipe out Yunnan and Guizhou. Wu Sangui just accepted his fruits.
However, although he is called "the second largest traitor in Chinese history" (some say it is Wang Jingwei, some say it is Chiang Kai-shek, now even Mr. Lu Xun is covered with this hat, it is simply... that god!), Hong Chengchou's huge role during the Ming and Qing Dynasties was not easily ignored. His activities can be said to have influenced most of China. He first proposed that the primary task of the Qing army after entering the pass was to wipe out the peasant army, and he also put forward sharp opinions on Shunzhi's belief in Lama and not Confucius and Mencius, laying the foundation for the comprehensive convergence of the Manchu and Han landlord class. Moreover, after Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he helped many people escape the Qing army's butcher knife, but many historical books refused to record these deeds. Hong Chengchou's founding contributions in the Qing Dynasty can be said to be no longer a second person except Dorgon.
Moreover, Hong Chengchou can be said to have indirectly created Wu Sangui. After Wu Sangui pacified Yunnan, he asked Lao Hong for advice, so how could he be able to maintain Yunnan forever? As in the story of Mu Ying in the Ming Dynasty. Hong Chengchou said in a scheming manner: You can't make Yunnan have nothing to do for a day! So Wu Sangui was very educated. From then on, Yunnan has been in constant war every year, and the Three Feudalists are growing up every day.
However, the so-called "great contributions are not rewarded", Hong Chengchou worked hard for many years for the Qing court, but Shunzhi's original "reward for granting a king" was not fulfilled. It was not until Shunzhi died that he gave him a title of third-class Qingche Duwei, and he was allowed to be inherited four times. Qingche Duwei was the fourth last in the Qing Dynasty's rewards, and even the fifth-class title was not included (gong, marquis, and Bozinan). Moreover, after Hong Chengchou died, he was given a sacrifice, and he also said many ridiculous words in the tribute written by the emperor.
Hong Chengchou was a rare capable minister. His personal talents were definitely the best among the top in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Unfortunately, his integrity was relatively poor, which made people scold him until now. Even the Qing court criticized him a lot. Kangxi ordered people to write "Biography of the Two Ministers", and Lao Hong was listed as the first class.
...
Now, Luo Xin and others appeared before the granddaughter of the Grand Marshal Hong Chengchou, who had once managed the military and political affairs of seven provinces and was named the only crown prince and tutor in the Qing Dynasty.
As for the old man who played the Erhu, he was an old member of the Hong family. Because of his loyalty, after the Hong family was in decline, he still followed him to take care of the little girl. Of course, because Hong Chengchou was a civil servant, he was also a servant of the family martial arts and practiced iron sand palms.
"Hehe, that person named Hai Liu is really lucky. He actually met our noble people." Yu Zhongheran said. Hong Chengchou had long died, and Yu Wei had been scolded for nowhere to be seen. So, he didn't care at all. What he cared about is the current situation. Hai Liuyi's group is indeed lucky. The old man has been playing for decades. Although he is old this year, how could he deal with a few gangsters be a problem?
"The adults made a mistake. In fact, the old man could not use force for a long time..." After hearing Yu Zhong's words, the old man singing said.
"Oh? What? Why don't you need to have kung fu? You haven't committed a crime, can't you just defend yourself?" Luo Xin asked. That's the iron sand palm. Although he doesn't believe in the Nine Yang Divine Arts, the Nine Yin Jing, the Sunflower Book, etc., Luo Xin feels that the iron sand palm is still credible. It is estimated that a few layers of skin can be removed when applied to his body.
"I also met a group of scoundrels two years ago. The little old man fought with a few fists and kicks. Unexpectedly, there were also some training kids among the scoundrels. The little old man couldn't hold on, so he took the lady away. As a result, he met a 'hero' who did the little old man a favor. However, after hearing about the little old man's identity, he broke the little old man's tendons. Now, the little old man's hands are no longer strong, so he can just play the erhu, so how can he still fight with people?" The old man sang with a wry smiled.
"well……"
Everyone sighed.
Hong Chengchou "benefits his descendants"! Thinking about his life, he was in a glorious place and had military and political affairs in seven provinces. But once he died, the Qing court did not dare to take the blame for the world to promote him. Not only did he not have any high titles and great salaries, but he also had to follow the hearts of the people. Now, as soon as Kangxi's "Biographies of the Territories" was released, he became a "traitor and traitor". People no longer had to curse secretly like before, but instead could scold him openly. Even his descendants suffered endlessly. Not only did they live without a single life, but they also had their tendons broken for no reason.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these things anymore. Little sister, what's your name?" Luo Xin asked the little girl.
"Hong Fengyi!" the little girl replied calmly, without any change in the meaning contained in the eyes of everyone in front of her.
"Feng Yi?...You Feng Lai Yi! Well, it's a good name!" The man in white who had been silent since Risong came forward to deal with the Hai Liuyi gang, said.
"What's the good thing about this name? Feng Yi, Feng Yi, whoever calls this little girl's name, wouldn't it be shorter out of thin air?" Hu Hai, who had already put away the knife, said disdainfully. As a Han Chinese, no matter which one it was, it was really hard to have any favors for Hong Chengchou's descendants. Even if Hu Hai is eating the Qing court's food now, he still has this idea.
"I dare not bother you, sir, princess, young masters, and young ladies, so I will take it back first!" The old man in singing saw Hu Hai and some people around him and Hong Fengyi's disgust, stood up and said.
"This little girl sang well, why not follow me in the future, how about it?" Mo Jing said suddenly.
"Thank you, this princess. The Hong family is not popular, so I won't cause trouble for the princess." After hearing Mo Jing's words, the old man had not spoken yet. The little girl, Hong Fengyi, suddenly said. Her tone was so plain, how could she have the childishness she should have at this age?
"Yes...yes, Mo Jing, you have already thought about it?" Yu Zhong asked stammering. He would not have to be a human being in the future, and he thought to himself secretly.
"Brother Yu, you object? Then let this little girl follow me, how about it?" Luo Xin also suddenly said.
"I don't mean that..." Yu Zhong waved his hands repeatedly. Oppose it? How dare I? He shouted in his heart.
"Thank you two princes. Feng Yi also wants to send a bell to Mr. Zhi. You can't be a maid. Feng Yi's kindness is appreciated by the two princes!" Hong Fengyi said with a crisp voice, bowing to Luo Xin and Mo Jing while saying this.
"Did I ask you to be a maid? Our family doesn't need a maid... Little sister, don't you think we look a bit like it?... Be my sister!" Mo Jing said with a smile.
"Puff!" Yu Heng couldn't stop tea and squirted it out on the spot.
"Crazy, this girl is crazy..." Hu Hai was shaking his gray stubble, dumbfounded.
"Awesome, it's really extraordinary..." The man in white pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes shone brightly.
"I can't live this life... I have to go back and discuss it with Mr. Fei..." Yu Zhong murmured to himself, his soul wandering outside the sky.

"Ah Yeh!... Sorry, rude, rude..." Old Man Fei sniffed gently and apologized to Bai Jin.
"Haha, it doesn't matter!" Bai Jin smiled.
"By the way, where did we talk about it?" Old Man Fei asked again.
"Qining, sir, we talked about quinine." Bai Jin said.
"That's right, it's quinine, which is a good medicine for malaria..." Old man Fei sighed and asked Bai Jin again: "Father, I know you are a genius in chemistry and medicine, so I would like to ask, do you think quinine can be mass-produced in China?...Praise God, for those who suffer from diseases..."
"I have actually been studying this issue. His Majesty Kangxi is also very concerned about this issue. He also gave me and Zhang Cheng a laboratory. However, the experiment has just begun, so there has not been any results yet..." Seeing that Old Man Fei took out the name of "Master", Bai Jin straightened his body and said slowly.
"So that's it..." Of course I knew that you had built a laboratory, otherwise I wouldn't have known which onion you are? What do you know? Old Man Fei said in his heart. However, although what he thought was very unauthorized, Old Man Fei still had a smile on his face.
"Oh, His Majesty Kangxi has given us great support. However, the main ingredients of quinine are extracted from the bark and root bar of the Golden Rooster Sodium Tree produced in South America. In China, it is really difficult to find this plant... and it is too difficult to find a plant that can replace Golden Rooster Sodium." Bai Jin shook his head again and sighed.
"That's right..." Old Man Fei smacked his lips and said unwillingly to Bai Jin: "Father, China's geographical situation is very special, and there are almost all kinds of climates. Although the golden rooster sodium tree grows in South America, I think it should be able to transplant it to China..."
"Transplant?" Bai Jin raised his eyebrows and was moved by Old Man Fei's proposal. Malaria is an epidemic disease and it is difficult to cure it before quinine, which is the Golden Rooster Sodium Cream. This situation is even more so in China. Even Kangxi got malaria because he took quinine from him and Zhang Cheng to recover. If this medicine could be mass-produced in China, win the favor of the Chinese and make them yearn for the West, then wouldn't Jesus give him a great success?
