Chapter 689 Sun Chuanting takes a concubine
At the end of July of the 11th year of Chongzhen, with the sharp drop in temperature, Shengjing fell, and the news that Huang Taiji raised fire and burned himself was brought over by the defeated Eight Banners who fled to Mudanwula.
The Qing Dynasty was destroyed.
Not long after the news spread, the two red flags, Melezhangjing, who was formerly stationed in Mudanwula, also secretly reported to Haoge, saying that the two blue flags showed signs of instability.
The impatient Haogeli didn't have time to inform Huining and Fan Wencheng, so he immediately took some people to investigate and prepare to force the force to suppress it. However, when he arrived at the base of the two Blue Flag soldiers, he was suddenly attacked and killed by cold arrows. Although he was snatched back by the guards, he died of excessive injuries that night.
On the third day, the two Dorgon brothers led two white flag teams to the vicinity of Mudanwula, and their intentions were self-evident.
Ning Wan, Fan Wencheng, after secretly discussing with the remaining powerful people of the Two Yellow Banners and the Guardians of the Two Yellow Banners, finally unanimously resolved that in order to continue the Qing Dynasty's national reign, the overall situation should be put first and no internal strife should be carried out.
Then, a group of high-ranking officials from Mudanwula welcomed the only two remaining princes of the Qing Dynasty.
A few days later, Dorgon officially ascended the throne under the expectation of the public, becoming the third emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and then changed the fourth year of Chongde to the first year of Longxing.
Due to the arrival of winter, heavy snow blocked the road. In addition, Mudanwula was too far from Shengjing, so the Ming Dynasty knew nothing about the simple and rough internal conflict that occurred in Mudanwula.
Zhu Youjian had long unconsciously ignored the existence of this remnant force, and his main energy had been devoted to the construction of all aspects of the Ming Dynasty.
In early May of the 12th year of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng returned to the capital after finishing their official duties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After Zhu Youjian met the two beloved ministers, he specially gave the two people a ten-day vacation to allow these two important officials who had been on business for several months to reunite with their families.
Their return in succession shows that the Ming Dynasty's most prosperous new policy in Jiangnan has been fully implemented, and other provinces with weak officials, gentry and wealthy families are no problem.
Good news has also been heard from the Hubei Province, which is undergoing large-scale immigration and land reclamation. As of the end of March of the 12th year of Chongzhen, the newly established Hubei Province received and resettled more than 1.7 million immigrants in Henan Province. While properly resettling the immigrants, the Hubei Province and the local governments who received the immigrants, under the guidance of the officials stationed in Sinong Temple, organized immigrants to vigorously build water conservancy and open up land.
According to incomplete statistics, by the date of the report, governments at all levels in Hubei Province organized immigration to reclaim more than 10 million mu of wasteland in the vast Jianghan Plain, built more than 20,000 water conservancy facilities such as various ponds and dams, and the length of various large and small water canals for irrigation reached nearly a thousand miles, and more than 10,000 water trucks for various large and small water trucks for irrigation and drainage, and more than 10,000 livestock for ploughing fields.
As the summer harvest season approaches, the land reclamation in the Jianghan Plain has temporarily stopped. Officials at all levels are organizing immigrants and local indigenous people to use the short free time before the summer harvest to renovate the wheat field, build threshing farm tools, and build large and small granaries to threshing and drying and storage work after the grain is harvested.
After receiving a report from Hubei Province, the Prime Minister Wen Tiren immediately convened the cabinet ministers to discuss and proposed that the Bureau will transfer a large number of high-quality agricultural tools to Hubei while increasing the production of agricultural tools to support immigrants to reduce harvesting time and to store grain before the rainy season in the south.
After receiving the report from the cabinet, the Silijian immediately approved the reward and sent it to Zhu Youjian for review. This document took less than an hour to send it to Tianjin Wei General Office.
The next afternoon, the first four-wheeled carriages loaded with sickles, snatches, claws, wheat savannas, hoes, iron pole scales, large and small buckets and other agricultural tools, drove out of the capital under the escort of relevant officials of the Sinong Temple and headed towards Henan along the widened official road.
After transporting this batch of agricultural tools to prefectures and counties that border Henan and Hubei, they will be transported by local governments to the narrow and difficult Hubei province by manpower.
The start of the 12th year of Chongzhen was extremely smooth, and good news kept coming from all over the country made everyone forget the scene of Nanjing being bloody during the 11th year of Chongzhen.
"Master, the fees for the Wang and Cheng families have been sent. Tomorrow is a good day. I have asked the housekeeper to arrange two carriages. Before noon, Liu and Cheng families will enter our house.
I would like to ask, will the master rest at Wang's place or Cheng's place tomorrow night?"
In a house with a five-entry residence in the west city of the capital, Sun Chuanting's woman Liu stood in front of her husband and asked softly.
"It's up to you to arrange everything!
You and I have been respectful to each other for more than twenty years, and their love is stronger than gold. The husband never feels dissatisfied with his wife. Why did the wife do such a ridiculous thing when I didn’t know about it?
If my current identity is to take any illegal acts in the future, wouldn’t I be asking for trouble?”
Sun Chuanting, who was ordered to recuperate at home, sat upright on the chair, wearing a wide blue Taoist robe that made him look like a dynasty with great power, and his expression was slightly unhappy.
The day after Sun Chuanting, who had been away from home for several months, returned home, Sun Li, a 60-year-old mother, ordered someone to call him and inform him on the spot that he would take two concubines for him so that the incense of the Sun family would be even more prosperous. In the future, she would be worthy of Sun Chuanting's father when she went underground.
In fact, not long after Sun Chuanting was appointed as the second assistant, Sun Li found Sun Chuanting's wife Liu, and tactfully expressed the meaning that the Sun family was not in full bloom. Although Liu, who understood what mother-in-law meant, was very uncomfortable, he still said on the spot that everything was based on the mother-in-law's meaning.
Liu married Sun Chuanting for twenty years and gave birth to two daughters and one son for Sun Chuanting. The eldest daughter unfortunately died, and only the son and the second daughter grew up. Then the two were born without any children.
As Sun Chuanting's status grew higher and his life became completely stable, Sun Li, who had only Sun Kedi, always felt that the old Sun family had too few descendants and was not as prosperous as many wealthy families, so he had the idea of taking a concubine for his son.
Not long after, Sun Chuanting was ordered to go south. With the arrangement of Sun Li and Liu, he quickly prepared two suitable families for Sun Chuanting.
Both of these families are from small families, and both have good reputations.
Wang's father was sixteen years old. His father was an old Tongsheng from Xianghe County. He had two older brothers and one younger brother in his family. His family was in average. His family income and expenditure were expected to be a living for Shu Hui, who taught in a wealthy family and his family's twenty acres of fertile land.
The seventeen-year-old Cheng family has a slightly stronger family than the Wang family. The family is a local person in the capital. Although his ancestors did not have officials, they are also considered a good family who has passed on their family through farming and studying.
"Master, you and I have been together for many years, how can you not know the Master's intentions?
But what my mother said was that the master was the most powerful minister, but he only defeated the enemy in his family. If the Sun family wants to become a wealthy family, they must have more children and grandchildren!
I am already old and I am unable to give birth to children for the master. If I don’t buy a concubine for the master, I will go underground in the future, how will I see my family?
I only hope that after the family members are prosperous in the future, the master can still remember the relationship between you and my husband for many years, treat me well, defeat the enemy and Yan'er, so I will be content 1"
