Recap Chinese Drama "The Long River 2022" Episode 29

Nov 28, 2022

It was the 22nd year of Kangxi, and the victory of Taiwan, Penghu, Jinma, and Liu Guoxuan, the son of Liu Guoxuan, surrendered. All the officials and people greeted Shi Lang, and witnessed the dragon flag hanging high in the ancestral temple and the imperial plaque hanging high. Then the news spread to the capital, and Kangxi's reputation rose again. The court ministers separated the Taiwan faction and the Taiwan guard faction, and the two sides quarreled over this.

Mingzhu took the lead in proposing to send people to sort out the household registration and land in Taiwan, to redefine the etiquette, to give a big reward, and to turn the whole people into kings as soon as possible. However, Ethan Ah held a different view. He said that this year, the rivers and seas in the households are dry, and there is no extra money or rewards. Taiwan should be abandoned and the country should be locked, and the army should withdraw to Xiamen to build a fort.

However, no matter how high-sounding Ethan's words were, Kangxi always favored the view of defending Taiwan. After all, the Qing Dynasty lasted for more than 20 years, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners suffered heavy casualties. Kangxi quelled the dispute between the two factions and ordered everyone to write a report and submit it to Shi Lang after he read it. He also asked the Ministry of Households to build a house for the descendants of the Zheng family in the capital.

Now that the Ministry of Officials is ordered to draft a list of officials serving in Taiwan, Suo Etu took the initiative to find Mingzhu to examine the list of candidates and install him and Mingzhu's confidantes. Although Mingzhu and Suo'etu fight each other on weekdays, if they encounter important events that harm their interests, they will definitely work together.

Ever since Kangxi appointed Jin Fu to manage the Yellow River, leveled the top of the San Francisco, and now regained Taiwan, the prestige of the people has soared, and no one in the court dared to continue to sing against him. Suo'etu and Mingzhu are well aware of the truth of this. Kangxi likes to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight. Even if they fight to the death, it is better than going to hell together.

Kangxi paid homage to his ancestors and accompanied the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang to the garden, but the Empress Dowager was frowning all the time, and said bluntly that there have been wars all these years, and she was so nervous that she couldn't sleep at night. The outside world believes that Kangxi is a sage king with foresight, but the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang knows that Kangxi is an ordinary emperor, and after solving the Taiwan problem, he should also consider Annei, otherwise he will face even greater pressure when he dies.

In the winter of the same year, Xiaojiadu was successfully completed. Seeing the end of the closing ceremony, everyone burst into cheers, and some even burst into tears. Looking back at the place where the deep river drained, Jin Fu felt emotional. If he hadn't met Chen Huang in this life, he would have almost become an old bureaucrat with a vegetarian diet. It is precisely because he met Chen Huang that he achieved such a great career.

Chen Huang and Jin Fu are sympathetic to each other, and they agree that if they live another 40 years, they will definitely see the prosperous Kaiyuan era recorded in the history books. Valuable experience for future generations.

Shi Lang brought Lin Xingzhu to the palace to meet the saint. First, he presented "Gong Chen Taiwan Abandoned Book" which was appreciated by Kangxi. After reporting the situation in Taiwan, he begged Kangxi to absolve Jin Fu and Chen Huang of the crime of wearing shackles. Kangxi did not agree, but warned Shi Lang to straighten his position and not to overstep the rules, which frightened him so that he hurriedly asked to leave the palace.

Kangxi heard that Lin Xingzhu was once Zheng Chenggong's general, and he was famous for spreading the long live withered vine armor, which can resist invulnerability. Lin Xingzhu was willing to demonstrate his strength for Kangxi and led twenty rattan soldiers to the school grounds. Kangxi summoned the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, all of whom were elite soldiers on horseback. As long as the rattan soldiers can block the first round of the firecrackers' attack, they will win this contest.

Lin Xingzhu was not afraid of the so-called warriors of the Qing Dynasty at all, but thought that if he let go, he might hurt them. The cavalry general was furious when he heard the words, and he was merciless in his strikes. As for the rattan soldiers, they threw away their long swords and relied on their armor to defuse the attack of twenty cavalrymen. The cavalry regiments encircled and deliberately provoked the rattan soldiers, intending to break the defense, Lin Xingzhu reminded the soldiers not to be fooled.
