In the 12th year of Yongli, at the end of May, Nan'an, Fujian.

The rainstorm in summer was turbulent, and huge raindrops fell on the ground, beating the already muddy mountain road. Between the puddles of all sizes, a Taoist priest rowed a boat into a small pier. The Taoist priest wore a hat on his head, a wet Taoist robe on his body, and a wooden stick in his hand. The black-sailed boat behind him was filled with various household items.

The wind was getting heavier and heavier. His black-sailed boat rose and fell in the river. The strong wind mixed with raindrops hit him. However, the Taoist priest was unaware. He stretched out his hand and grabbed a small insect that was running around in the river water and put it in his palm to take care of it. Even if there was a straw shed on the dock to hide from the rain, he would not stop going ashore, sitting cross-legged on the bow of the boat, carrying a hat and straw raincoat, carefully caring for the small insect.

This is a wild pier on the south bank that few people know about. Very few people come here on weekdays. It is obvious that the Taoist priest has come here for a while, so it is very familiar. But soon, he can't sit still. Upstream, there are constantly white corpses left with the river water, and the smell of corpses appeared in the air. The Taoist priest's face was full of sorrow, and he said, "The Infinite Heavenly Lord" and sat cross-legged again and recited Taoist spells.

The sky became darker and darker, and crows appeared in the air from time to time. As the rain gradually stopped, they flew down from the tree branches and fell on the corpse to eat. I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of brisk footsteps from the path in the distance increased a lot. The Taoist priest stood up vigilantly and looked at the end of the road. First, there was an old man with a hunchbacked figure carrying a shredded pot, but he knew the seven or eight people following him. The Taoist priest picked up the long bamboo pole and wanted to push the boat away, but after a closer look, he found that the oil-paper umbrellas held by the seven or eight people were wearing the color of the clothes with a crown and a belt. The Taoist priest’s eyes turned red and he collapsed on the ground.

The hunchbacked old man walked into the pavilion, put down the jar, pointed at the Taoist priest on the black-sailed boat, and said to the seven or eight people: "The farmer you are looking for in Zishan is this Taoist priest."

The young man in charge was He Wenrui. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to buy wine for all these money. I also thank you for taking care of my friend for many years."

When the old man saw that He Wenrui gave him five or six silver dollars, he said, "There is more, and one is enough."

"If you ask you to take it, just take it. Don't say too much when you go back, be careful of causing trouble!" The guard beside him said with a glaring glance. The old man took the silver ball and walked quickly.

"Mr. Hong, please go ashore!" The two guards stepped forward to the dock, and called out the real name of the Taoist priest and layman, and said.

The Taoist priest shook his head slightly and said, "A righteous man from nowhere, please tell him about his identity."

He Wenrui stepped forward, took off his hat and said, "Haha, have you forgotten me? Haha, the old man came ashore. Now this is not the Qing Dynasty, nor is it the Qing Dynasty. The sun and the moon shine on China again, and the Fujian has been liberated."

"It's you!" The Taoist priest's eyes widened and he screamed loudly.

Mr. Hong's real name is Hong Chengsheng, from Nan'an, Fujian. He said that few people know his name, but if he said his elder brother Hong Chengchou was a traitor known to the world, Hong Chengchou was Hong Chengchou's third brother, and he was an old acquaintance with He Wenrui. After Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty went south in large numbers, Jiangnan, Fujian and Zhejiang collapsed one after another. The Qing Dynasty bought horse bones for thousands of dollars, and was favored by Hong Chengchou in every way. Soon, he invited his parents to go north to Beijing. At that time, He Wenrui was just an ordinary person in the Intelligence Department of the Commander's Department. Because the Intelligence Department was directly under the head of state, many secret matters were ordered by Li Mingxun to the Intelligence Department and then cooperated by the Security Bureau.

He Wenrui was entrusted by Li Mingxun to send an item to Nan'an to deliver it to Hong Chengchou's mother when the fall of Fujian Province. It was also at that time that He Wenrui and Hong Chengchou met. He Wenrui sent a crutch made of fine iron, and there was also a mechanism on the head of the crutch, which could pull out a short knife. Li Mingxun sent He Wenrui to tell Hong's mother that if he really hated Hong Chengchou as a traitor, he would smash it hard when he met and stabbed it with a short knife to relieve his hatred.

This was undoubtedly a great humiliation for Hong Chengsheng and Hong's mother. Later, the Qing Dynasty summoned Hong's mother to the north. Hong's mother hated Hong Chengchou for being a traitor. When she met, she beat him. Hong Chengchou ran away with her head and ended up not ruthlessly killing him. Hong Chengchou thought his mother was fighting traitors for the country, but she never thought that this was the ending. She went north to Beijing and persuaded Hong Chengchou. When she met, she advised Hong Chengchou to commit suicide. At that time, Hong Chengchou was already a bachelor of the inner court. Although he had no real power, he was also a leader in the Han ministers. How could he be willing to commit suicide? Hong Chengchou cursed and wanted to assassinate him but was unable to get close to him, which annoyed Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou assassinated Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou fled from the north and returned to Quanzhou Prefecture, and survived his death. He established a pair of loyal temples in his hometown in Quanzhou to sacrifice to the Han heroes who resisted An Lushan. Among them, Xu Yuan, the sacrificial family, pointed to the Hong family's door to show his disdain. After Duoduo died in Yangzhou, Hong Chengchou returned to Quanzhou to observe filial piety. Hong Chengchou wanted to persuade him to be loyal and filial, but was questioned. Since then, he fled and lived on a black-sailed boat. From then on, "the head does not wear the Qing Dynasty, and the feet does not step on the Qing Dynasty."

When Hong Chengyan heard that Bamin had been liberated, he was so excited that he couldn't suppress his excitement. He knelt on the bow of the ship and asked, "Are he really liberated?"

He Wenrui said: "Ba Fujian has restored China. Five million people in the province have cut their beards and their clothes are easy. The whole world is clear."

Hong Cheng-chan knelt there and cried, "Oh my God, I finally opened my eyes, I'm the Ming Dynasty."

He Wenrui reminded: "It was not the revival of the Ming Dynasty, but the revival of the United States of China."

Hong Chengyan was shocked after hearing this. With the help of He Wenrui, he climbed the shore that he had not reached for several years. The guards had cleaned the pavilion. The old farmer sent a pot of wine and a bag of coarse salt, and there was nothing else. The coarse salt was a necessity for Hong Chengyan to live alone on the water, and the wine was given to him by the old farmer.

Soon, the guard held a stone slab to serve the cut fish sashimi and said, "Sir, the river is full of dead bodies. I am afraid that the fish will not dare to eat them. Bei Zhi caught a few rice-flowered fish from the rice fields next to him. Although they are not fat, they can also serve them."

He Wenrui picked up a piece, dipped it in salt, stuffed it into his mouth, tasted it, and smiled and said, "It's a different flavor, Mr. Hong also tasted it."

As the two ate, He Wenrui told the current situation again. He did not hide it, because He Wenrui came here this time to hope that Hong Chengyu would come out to serve. Hong Chengyu was ignorant of the taste of food. He stared at the turbid river water and said, "There are many vassal states, and the bandits are in the dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty has not yet perished, it has declined. After the chaotic times, there is no sage pillar country. It will soon be destroyed, not long."

Hong Chengguan was still the same as a scholar-official, except for his own group, and the rest looked down on him. Even though he was a vassal state now barely survived the Ming Dynasty, the scholar-official officials still looked down on those thieves, Qiu Ba.

He Wenrui focused on informing the cooperative relationship between the United States and Zhu Ming, but only hiding the "persecution" of the scholar-official class. After hearing this, Hong Cheng-chan knew that this was also an extraordinary measure and knew that it was a good idea.

"Mr. He is here not just to get me ashore." Hong Cheng-chan knew that although He Wenrui is now the Chief Executive of Fujian, he has control over all the actual occupied areas of the United States, including Chaozhou, Guangdong and southern Zhejiang, and is actually the Southeast Governor of the United States. Such a high-ranking official will naturally not come for small matters.

He Wenrui smiled: "The old man is wise. I am here this time to ask Mr. to come out and serve as the head examiner of the Southeastern Science and Technology Center."

"The imperial examination? Do you have the imperial examination in the Eastern Conference? How did I hear that the country has an academic qualification system?" Hong Cheng-chan asked back.

"Oh, that's true. It's just that the eleven prefectures in the southeast are restored, and the heads of state and the senate of our country have specially ordered the Southeastern medical field to select talents for the great cause of restoration." He Wenrui said with a smile.

Hong Chengyan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's a lot of difficulties. I've been known to you as a ruthless person in the East. I'm afraid it's too late to win people's hearts this time."

"The United States has never treated the literati and officials badly, but has just punished traitors and traitors. If it were not for the reality of rebellion against China, and the Qing Dynasty was a prosperous person, how could our country have been harsh? It was because there were many shameless and cowardly people in the world who thought this way. Now that the eight Fujian people are lying, our country also has the idea of ​​regaining the Central Plains and reorganizing the mountains and rivers. The law has been announced to punish traitors and the law is ahead. It is like swearing to everyone and being supervised by the world. How can there be a reason to repent?" He Wenrui retorted seriously.

Hong Cheng-chan asked: "Where is the method?"

Of course, He Wenrui could not put seven or eight laws related to the literati class, including the Criminal Law of the United States of China, the Special Wartime Law of the United States of China, and other seven or eight laws related to the literati class, which were all related to Hong Chengchou. The large-scale legal provisions were complicated, so Hong Chengchou could not read them in a short time, but He Wenrui was also prepared to present the "Letter to the Gentlemen and Civilians in the Falling District" in front of Hong Chengchou.

This "Letter to the Gentlemen and People in the Falling District" is the product of compromise and game agreement with domestic veterans and congressmen after Li Mingxun returned to Taipei, and divides all people in the world into 17 types, including "Three religions and Nine Rates". What kind of treatment will each of them be given will be explained.

The vastest one is naturally the ‘refugee class’. The so-called refugees are actually the most laboring people on the land of China. The fundamental reason for this group of people is that they have never served the Qing Dynasty. Of course, everyone has ever donated taxes and food. However, the United States defined it as coerced by the Qing Tartars and had to do it, so it was not investigated. As long as these people were cut off their braids, they were considered refugees and had no punishment. On the contrary, most of these people were still poor, and they would also enjoy the moral integrity of the people such as land and could enjoy.

Among the seventeen types, those who really want to be punished are those who enjoy the privileges of the Qing Dynasty and serve as minions of the Qing Dynasty, mainly those who participate in the imperial examinations of the Qing Dynasty, take the initiative to donate food and pay for the Qing Dynasty, participate in the resistance of the Allied forces, and assist the Qing army. However, the most severe punishment is to kill their relatives. Even the nine tribes are exiled, the less the punishment is. The confiscation of property and exile overseas is a punishment, and fewer and fewer relatives are involved, from nine tribes to seven tribes, five tribes, and not to be involved.
