In Zhenyuan, after Liu Wenxiu heard the report of the wretched man, he laughed and said to Luo Dashun: "The Tatars really took the bait. I didn't expect that when your elm-headed head was about to shine, the thousand-year-old iron tree would bloom, hahaha...
…”
Luo Dashun's face was full of smiles and an expression of pride, but he kept scolding in his heart. "You are the elm-headed one, you are the iron tree blooming..." He flattered him: "In the past few months, Lao Luo, I have really
I feel like my head is working better, it’s all thanks to the King’s teachings, which made me, Lao Luo, enlightened.”
Liu Wenxiu laughed and scolded: "Go away, I didn't teach you how to lie to others." After a pause, he said sternly to the wretched man, "Jiayi, Liu Zhen went to Sichuan with His Highness. During this period, you are in charge of the Guizhou Jinyi Guards.
I have reported the movements of the Tatars and have done a good job. This time you went deep into the enemy territory in person and handled it properly. You should be credited with your first contribution. Your majesty will be reported to the meeting and you will be granted the title of envoy. From today on, you will resume your real name.
Stop using code names."
The wretched man thanked you solemnly, and Liu Wenxiu warned: "Arrange secret sentries to send back news about the Tatars at any time. When the Tatars pass Zhenyuan, you don't need to be taught by me to harass, poison, and assassinate them. You must make sure that the Tatars are at peace."
, grass and trees are all soldiers."
Luo Dashun opened his mouth, and Liu Wenxiu turned around and said: "Lao Luo, please tell me, except for the soldiers, everyone else in Zhenyuan will retreat to the rear with me. You must arrange the things I told you before, and make sure nothing goes wrong.
"
Fengjie, where the governor of Wen'an is located.
Wen Anzhi was a veteran of the Tianqi Emperor. He was framed and dismissed from office by traitors during the Chongzhen period. After that, he stayed at home and was recruited by Emperor Hongguang and Emperor Longwu to serve as officials, but he refused to resign. It was not until the reign of Emperor Yongli that Wen Anzhi felt deeply
The sun sets on the west mountain tomorrow, and the mainland of China is about to sink. He rises to his post with great enthusiasm, hoping to use his old and dying body to reverse the decline of China. Wen'an is respected and virtuous. Since he was the governor of Kuidong, he has greatly bridged the gap between the Yongli court and the imperial court.
The relationship with the Thirteen Families of Kuidong, that is, the remnants of the Dashun Army. Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu went on several expeditions, and the Zhongzhen Battalion fully cooperated with Wen'an as the central coordinator, making great contributions.
In the twelfth year of Yongli's reign, Wen Anzhi was already sixty-six years old. Historically, in the thirteenth year of Yongli's reign, Wen Anzhi contacted the thirteen Kuidong families to attack Chongqing in order to resolve the war between Yunnan and Guizhou. However, he was eventually killed due to a traitor rebellion.
Failure. After Yongli fled Burma, Wen Anzhi died in depression soon after. At this moment, although Wen Anzhi was worried about the bad situation in the Ming Dynasty, he did not realize that the Yongli regime would withdraw from China in less than a year.
When Zhu Cixuan walked off the warship sent by Wen Anzhi to greet him, he saw the Dinghai Shenzhen of Kuidong. After the tedious greetings, Zhu Cixuan bowed deeply to Wen Anzhi and said emotionally: "The governor is stationed in Kuidong to protect the Ming Dynasty.
Zai, both in the Ming Dynasty and in China, have made great contributions. As a disciple of the Tian family, Cixuan has been grateful for the contributions of the governor for a long time. Today, I can meet the governor. How lucky it is! Please accept the governor and pay homage to me!"
Zhu Cixuan's move shocked the people around him. Influenced by later generations, he was extremely respectful to Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Wen Anzhi and other anti-Qing patriots. When he first met the two kings, he was the first to pay a visit. When he met Wen Anzhi this time, he did so subconsciously.
So he saluted. In his opinion, it is natural to show more respect to the national hero, but in the eyes of others, his behavior was, at best, a courtesy to a virtuous corporal, and at worst, it was to win people's hearts.
Wen Anzhi was also at a loss. The distinction between monarchs and ministers in the Ming Dynasty was not as strict as that in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, but there was still an order of superiority and inferiority. The prince would never salute his ministers except to the prince's teacher when he was in school. At this moment, Zhu Cixuan came, Wen Anzhi
I didn't have time to think too much, and my face flushed with excitement. No matter what, it was a rare honor to have the Crown Prince value me so much.
The old man was so excited that he stopped riding in the sedan chair and led Zhu Cixuan and his entourage towards the city of Fengjie. At that time, there was no Three Gorges Dam, no high gorge out of Pinghu Lake, and there was still a long distance from Fengjie's pier to the city, and there was a road
Wen Anzhi personally acted as a guide, told Zhu Cixuan about Fengjie's defense and the situation in Kuidong, and even climbed up the ladder himself. Wen Anzhi did not ride in a sedan chair, and Zhu Cixuan was young and did not care about walking these few steps.
Wang Tonghe, who followed Zhu Cixuan, had a hard time. The eunuch's body was not as strong as ordinary people. Wang Tonghe's legs were shaking when he climbed, and he was cursing in his heart.
Entering the city, Zhu Cixuan looked at this historic city and sighed secretly in his heart. In his previous life, he was born in Fengjie. Although he left with his parents when he was very young, he still has a special affection for the place of birth. He was reincarnated as a human and arrived at the place where he was born hundreds of years ago.
, I can't help but sigh. Although Fengjie is the residence of the governor, what I can see is that the houses are in ruins, there are few pedestrians, the soldiers' helmets are broken, and their faces are yellow and thin. Compared with Guiyang, the soldiers at the gate of the city saw the equipment of the imperial camp.
, all of them had fire in their eyes, as if they wanted to just start grabbing them.
"Supervisor, is Kuidong in need of supplies?" After observing for a while, Zhu Cixuan decided to ask directly.
"Your Highness is aware that Kuidong is poor, with more mountains and less land, and it is difficult to communicate with the imperial court, so it is indeed difficult to supply." Wen Anzhi replied. His answer was to avoid the important and trivial, which was actually to take care of Zhu Cixuan's face. In fact, the remnants of the Dashun Army accepted the
Since the canonization by the Yongli court, except for a few counts, marquises and other titles, the Yongli court has never provided any supplies to the Dashun army. As the governor, he always has to rely on the support of the thirteen families of Kuidong.
Zhu Cixuan didn't say anything after hearing this. He also knew Yongli's attitude towards the Zhongzhen Camp, which was to use it while guarding against it. The remnants of Shun Army were different from Xiying. Although Xiying also rebelled, they did not force Emperor Chongzhen to death after all. Shun Jun
The army is a direct descendant of Li Zicheng, so it is difficult for him to gain the absolute trust of Nan Ming. In fact, if the Ming Dynasty were to revive, the Zhongzhen Battalion might not escape death in the end and would be liquidated. Thinking of this, Zhu Cixuan sighed silently again. The Ming Dynasty believed that Li Zicheng was causing trouble.
The Tatars conquered the world and gave the Tatars an opportunity to take advantage of it. Dashun felt that he was seeking survival, and the Tatars have resisted ever since they entered the customs. On the contrary, the original Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers surrendered countless people, and the current situation is more the Ming Dynasty's own.
Question. Deep down in his heart, Zhu Cixuan recognized Dashun more. The Kuidong Army resisted until the Kangxi period, and countless people died in the battle. Although the results of the battle cannot be compared with Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong, they are also national heroes of the Han people.
No matter what Li thinks, I will treat you all equally. I will never let the hero bleed and shed tears!"
Fengjie is where the governor is, and with such a layout, it must be even more difficult for the other strongholds of the thirteen families in Kuidong. He was thinking about how to give more support to Kuidong, and as his mind wandered, he had arrived at the governor's house.
When everyone sat down, Zhu Cixuan first talked about the pursuit of "Wang Lizhi". "The supervisor must have known that Wang Lizhi incited the imperial camp to rebel. I led the army to pursue him to Chongqing and killed him on the spot. The remaining rebels were also killed.
I will destroy them all. The king of Shu has reported Wang Lizhi's rebellion to my father, and also asked the governor to send someone to send Wang Lizhi's head to Kunming to avoid my father's worries."
Wen Anzhi nodded and cursed Wang Lizhi casually. Zhu Cixuan began to ask about the situation in eastern Sichuan again. Wen Anzhi was deeply worried and shook his head and said: "The fighting in eastern Sichuan is not intense, but the Tatars focus on defense, which is quite serious."
Don't take the initiative to provoke. Before the arrival of the old thief Hong, many Jin gentry in Hubei and Hunan had great intentions, and they secretly supported our army a lot. After the old thief Hong came, he tried his best to win over the Jin gentry and slandered our army as thieves. Now in both places
Most of the Jin gentry have stopped trading with our army. The Loyalty Battalion is rarely supplied, so they can only be sent out to raid, which makes the local Jin gentry prefer the Tatars. Hu Guancai, the Tatar governor of Huguang, is also a capable minister. He makes good friends with the Jin gentry and creates water.
Division, build forts, fortify the walls and clear the fields, even if our army takes the initiative to attack, it will be difficult to achieve big gains."
Zhu Cixuan frowned slightly and asked: "What about Chongqing?"
"Wu Sangui is entrenched in Hanzhong. This good general is no match for Du Zixiang. The old minister believes that Chongqing will never be defended unless one of the two kings of Jin and Shu personally takes charge." Wen An was determined.
Zhu Cixuan nodded, Wen Anzhi's judgment was consistent with his, and he smiled and said: "Before I entered Sichuan, I had made an agreement with the King of Shu. When the King of Jin returns from conquering Wang Ziqi, the King of Shu will move to Chongqing to face Wu Sangui."
When Wen Anzhi heard this, he was also pleased and said: "This is very good. The King of Shu personally garrisoned Chongqing, and Chongqing is as peaceful as Mount Tai."
The two chatted for a few more words, and Zhu Cixuan said seriously: "Supervisor, since I have arrived at Fengjie, I should also go to Zhongzhen Camp. What do you think, Supervisor?"
Wen Anzhi said hesitantly: "Zhongzhenying, Kuidong is poor here, so I can't help but neglect Your Highness. According to the laws of the country, when the prince travels, he must have His Majesty's imperial decree and there must be ministers in the East Palace..." As he said this, Wen Anzhi suddenly said firmly
, "Since Duke Xingguo, the Zhongzhen Battalion has been determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty. It has fought in several provinces. It was defeated but its ambition was not taken away. It became stronger despite being trapped. Your Highness should go!"
Zhu Cixuan admired in his heart that Wen Anzhi was a capable minister after all. When the situation was critical, he was no longer bound by red tape. It can also be seen that Wen Anzhi definitely believed in the determination of Zhongzhen Camp to fight against the Qing Dynasty. He also believed that when he arrived in Fengjie, if he did not go to the surrounding areas
A group of people will further separate the Zhongzhen camp and the Yongli court.
After the matter was finalized, Zhu Cixuan said again: "When I was in Guiyang, the King of Shu said that he had intended to run Sichuan and left hundreds of thousands of soldiers to garrison in Jianchang. Later, due to the turmoil of the war, the trip was not possible. I feel deeply regretful that he has already
We have agreed with the King of Jin and King Shu to sit in Chengdu, run Sichuan, and rebuild the Kingdom of Abundance for our Ming Dynasty."
Wen Anzhi said in astonishment: "His Royal Highness will not return to Kunming? Has His Majesty agreed?" He had initially seen the boldness of this young master. From what he heard, the Crown Prince did not discuss it with His Majesty?
Zhu Cixuan didn't intend to hide it from Wen Anzhi. The governor was in the east of Sichuan. He wanted to occupy Chengdu. There would be many days of dealing with him in the future. There was no need to alienate the relationship because of a few lies. He said calmly: "I am young, and my father
The Queen Mother will not allow me to leave the palace for too long. But as a descendant of the Tian family and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, I should put the world first. Now the situation is urgent and the Ming Dynasty is at stake. Even if it violates filial piety, I will not care. In running Sichuan,
The power must be arbitrary when the opportunity arises. The two kings of Jin and Shu are involved in war. Who else can go there except this palace?"
Zhu Cixuan continued: "I have sent Yang Jing to lead the army to Jianmen. He will send news of the Tatar invasion, and I will immediately go to Sichuan to preside over the war. On my father's side, Grand Scholar Yang will request an order for me.
.Today, I will tell the Superintendent about this matter. I just hope that the Superintendent will help cover it up for the sake of my eagerness to save the country."
"Yes." Wen Anzhi was silent for a long time and responded in a low voice. Your Highness, you are forcing an old minister to deceive the emperor. I only hope that you can make a difference in Sichuan so that the future of the Ming Dynasty can be a little brighter.
