Nanming Yiming

Chapter 64

After making friends with Xia Wanchun, Qian Mo also felt much better.

After all, after traveling here, although I also met many life and death brothers.

But right now, only Xia Wanchun and Qian Qinzhuan can be called relatives.

He really doesn't want to engage in those intrigues with Xia Wanchun!
Speaking of relatives, maybe Gu Xin'er is one of them. It's been a long time since I saw her, and Qian Mo really misses her.

Pushing open the door, Qian Mo shouted: "Xin'er!"

Gu Xin'er, who hadn't seen Qian Mo for a long time, lost her former restraint, hugged Qian Mo and said, "Ms. That’s why I’m willing to come back and see me.”

Qian Mo said: "Mr., why did I forget Xin'er, didn't I send Qian Ning to pick you up just after gaining a firm foothold in Taihu Lake?"

Gu Xin'er said: "You still have the nerve to say that after receiving it, you will leave it here. If it wasn't for the little girl who kept begging me for talking, I would almost be bored to death!"

"You heartless thing, I heard that the silver ship sank in the Yangtze River before, and I was sad for you for a long time, but you are so cold to me."

After all, he punched Qian Mo with a fist.

Qian Mo didn't dodge, but instead showed a cheeky look and said: "Xin'er give me a hard time, I'm exhausted, sir."

Seeing that Gu Xin'er ignored him, Qian Mo smirked again and said, "I haven't seen you these days, does Xin'er miss me, my husband?"

"I really want to die for Xin'er," said Qian Mo, who was about to go to Gu Xin'er.

Gu Xin'er pushed Qian Mo away, and said shyly, "It's broad daylight, what are you in a hurry for, sir!"

Seeing that Gu Xin'er refused, Qian Mo didn't continue, but pretended to be disappointed and said: "I have known Xin'er for so long, and I didn't pay you well for going out for a walk."

"The scenery of Taihu Lake is beautiful. How about we go boating on Taihu Lake?"

Gu Xin'er was bored for a long time, and said: "It all depends on my husband's arrangement!"

So Qian Mo arranged a lone boat, and the two of them went boating on the lake.

Gu Xin'er, who walked out of the boudoir, was extraordinarily bright and charming under the bright sunshine.

Sure enough, this natural beauty is attractive no matter how you look at it, unlike those "artificial beauties" who rely on plastic surgery, makeup, and filters in later generations, some of them are completely different before and after washing their faces.

If it wasn't for his younger sister Qian Qinzhuan who was still in confinement, Xia Wanchun and his wife should have been invited together to let them experience the fun of this boating outing.

Fortunately, today is a sunny day, the sun is shining brightly, and there is not much wind on Taihu Lake.

Otherwise, Qian Mo would definitely be blamed by Gu Xin'er for going boating on Taihu Lake this winter?
It's really not something that ordinary people can do.

However, it was rare for the two of them to have such an opportunity to be alone outside, and they cherished it very much.

At this time, Qian Mo was sliding the oars slowly, while Gu Xin'er played the piano with great interest, which was quite different.

Although Gu Xin'er was wearing a thick cloak at this time, Qian Mo was mesmerized by her curvy figure.I didn't notice before that Gu Xin'er's figure is also so proud.

Seeing Qian Mo's malicious eyes lingering on her chest, Gu Xin'er's face flushed instantly, and she said awkwardly, "Shouldn't Mr. Xiang recite a poem in this situation?"

Looking at the beauties on the boat, Qian Mo withdrew his greedy eyes and said, "Xin'er's graceful figure reminds me of the famous lines in "The Book of Songs" - "Qin Feng"."

"The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the side of the water. If you follow it backwards, the road is long and obstructed. If you follow it backwards, you will be in the middle of the water."

"Jianjiaqiqi, Bailu is not yet Xi. The so-called Iraqi people are in the water. Follow them when you go back and forth, and the road blocks and climbs. When you travel back and forth, it's like being in the water."

"The reeds are harvested, but the white dew has not yet come. The so-called Iraqi people are in the water. If you go back, follow it, and the road is blocked and right. If you go back and follow it, you will be in the water."

The catchy poems, combined with Gu Xiner's melodious piano sound, rippling on the Taihu Lake!
Qian Mo said: "Xin'er plays the piano very well, but it's a pity that my husband and I don't understand the rhythm, otherwise it must be interesting to sing with Xin'er."

Gu Xin'er said: "The military flag is raised and lowered every day on Shengui Island, and everyone will sing "Serving the Country with the Loyalty" written by Xianggong. Why does Xianggong say that he has no rhythm."

After finishing speaking, Gu Xin'er played "Serving the Country with Loyalty" on the piano, and the passionate melody made people's blood boil instantly!

Qian Mo said, "I don't know when we can drive out the Tartars and recover the Central Plains?"

Gu Xin'er said: "Xin'er also wants to contribute to the recovery of the Central Plains, do you have any good ideas?"

Hearing what Xin'er said, Qian Mo really had an idea, thinking that the art troupe in the army of later generations can be a good boost to morale,
Gu Xin'er can help to form a similar art troupe. Of course, it is impossible for a dignified governor's wife who has not been educated to show up in person to perform, but it is not a big problem to help manage it behind the scenes.

Qian Mo asked Gu Xin'er: "Have you heard of storytelling?"

Gu Xin'er said: "Is it a story told by Mr. Storyteller? I heard this story when I was a child. Is it interesting?"

Qian Mo said: "If some wonderful stories are expressed in the form of performances, will it inspire everyone's fighting spirit?"

Gu Xin'er said: "This is a good way. By the way, there are two Nanxi opera performers on the island. I heard someone practicing singing before."

Qian Mo said: "Then Xin'er is responsible for finding some people. Those with opera skills are even better. I will write a few operas for them, and they will be responsible for performing them. This can also inspire the soldiers and civilians on the island."

Gu Xin'er said: "But if Xin'er participates in the performance, will she embarrass my husband?"

After all, actors and prostitutes belong to the "lower class", so it's no wonder that Gu Xin'er has such doubts.

Qian Mo said: "This publicity work is actually very important, and it can improve the morale of the soldiers."

"I didn't ask you to show up and perform in person, you just need to be responsible for training them behind the scenes."

A few days later, a temporary stage was set up in the square on the island.

It is said that it is going to perform a new type of drama called "excerpt opera". Tonight's play is "Jiangyin City 81st Anti-Qing Dynasty".

This kind of "excerpt opera" written by Qian Mo is actually more similar to the drama of later generations. The actors also wear more distinctive costumes, but they don't need to sing, they directly perform with dialogue, and they will switch between simple scenes during the period.

The Jiangyin Military and Civilian War Against the Qing Dynasty was a battle in the second year of Shunzhi (1645) when the Jiangyin rebels resisted the Qing army going south.

In July of the second year of Shunzhi (1645), Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu, the official officials of Jiangyin Shimin, led the people to defend the city against the Qing Dynasty.Qing generals Li Chengdong and Liu Liangzuo allied forces to besiege Jiangyin. Chen Mingyu was defeated in the battle. The scholars and people elected Yan Yingyuan to command Chen on behalf of Chen.

At the end of August, the main reinforcements of the Qing army marched into Jiangyin. They attacked Jiangyin day and night, and it rained for days and the city collapsed. , the Qing army massacred the city. According to historical records, more than 1000 people, men and women, were killed inside and outside the city.In the end, only 53 people survived.

The story of the Jiangyin people resisting the Qing Dynasty is almost a household name in this era.

Qian Mo also accepted the exaggerated statement in the unofficial history, and interpreted that the Jiangyin soldiers defeated three kings and eighteen generals of the Qing army, and made the Qing army pay the price of more than [-] casualties.

Even dozens of elderly people in their [-]s went out of the city to pretend to surrender, hiding gunpowder in silver and killing more than [-] Qing soldiers.

When the city was finally broken, none of the righteous people surrendered, and there were only 53 survivors, old and young.

The blood of all the people who watched was boiling, and they even gritted their teeth with hatred for the Manchu Tartars.

In particular, Yan Yingyuan's actor left behind the tragic and heroic lines of "Leading allegiance on the 10th day, representing the people of the seventeen dynasties of Taizu; [-] people are united in righteousness, leaving the Ming Dynasty for three hundred miles!"

It even brought the atmosphere of the audience to a climax, and all the men, women and children present were moved to tears.

Even many old people expressed that they would join the king's division to kill the Tartars.

In the end, a woman played by Wang Ydan, facing Jiangyin City full of corpses, left a "snow mouth full of bones on the battlefield, thousands of dead and lonely loyalists refused to surrender. Pedestrians don't cover their noses, the living are not as good as The incense of the dead." The inscription of the poem was the curtain call of the show!
This excerpt was performed for 3 consecutive days and the venue was still full. Each person received 2 copper coins for the show, and some people even gave 1 tael of silver directly, expressing that they would use it to support Master Wang to fight the Tartars.

Under Gu Xin'er's persecution, Qian Mo hastily wrote "Wu Sangui Becomes a Beauty in Anger".
