Lord of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Mingzhen is very famous. He is a loyal and capable person in King Lu's Ming army. It was a head-to-head fight with the Qing army.

The strategy aimed at restoring King Lu's reputation and orthodox legitimacy ultimately failed.

According to historical records, in the second year of Lu Jianguo (1647), when he learned of the Su Song gentry's uprising, the United Front Ship entered Chongming, capsized and defeated.The Qing army advanced to welcome the King of Lu to live in Zhoushan.Zhoushan fell, and King Lu followed Zheng Chenggong.After that, he and Zhang Huangyan attacked Chongming and Zhenjiang many times, and visited Jinling in an effort to recover.In the eighth year of Yongli, he followed Zheng Chenggong to recover Zhoushan and died in the army.

There are many discrepancies in historical records, and some people say so.

Zhang Mingzhen, who died in 1654, styled Hou Fu, Han nationality, was born in Jiangning County, Yingtian Prefecture, Zhili Province in the Ming Dynasty (now Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province).One is from Shanxi, from Nanjing Jinyiwei.Formerly served as a guerrilla in Shipu, Taizhou, and was named General Fuping.In the first year of Hongguang (1645), King Fu was imprisoned, and volunteers were recruited to try to restore it.Together with Zhang Huangyan and others, he supported the establishment of King Lu to supervise the country in Shaoxing.Later, King Feng Lu returned to Zhoushan from Jinmen, Fujian.

Specifically, there is such a record.

From the seventeenth day of the first lunar month in the eighth year of Yongli (1654), Ming troops such as Zhang Mingzhen, Liu Kongzhao, and Zhang Huangyan entered the Yangtze River Estuary in batches by boat, and rushed through Langshan (now an important town along the river in the south of Nantong City, Jiangsu Province), Fushan (with Langshan Across the river), Jiangyin, Jingjiang, Menghe, Yangshe, Sanjiang, Guishan (now Zhenjiang City) and other Qingjun River flood control areas arrived in Guazhou on the 21st.The Ming army went ashore at Jinshan and seized ten of the Qing army's anti-river cannons, gunpowder, money and grain.Zhang Mingzhen, Liu Kongzhao, Zhang Huangyan and others led [-] soldiers to Jinshan Temple, and went southeast to pay homage to Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and wrote poems to express their condolences.

On August 13th in the 1659th year of Yongli ([-]), Zheng Chenggong, a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty, led his troops to retreat from Ningnan to attack Chongming.On the [-]th, Zheng sent Liang Dongyu to the city to persuade him to surrender.At dawn on the [-]th, Zheng Bing surrounded the county town and bombarded it with huge artillery, destroying more than a hundred battlements in the northwest corner.Then, the moat was filled up and a ladder was set up to attack.Zheng Jun attacked the city seven times in a row, and fought hand-to-hand with the defending Qing army on the tower, but still failed to capture the county seat.On the [-]th, Zheng Chenggong led his troops south.

Some people also say that Zhang Mingzhen died of Zheng Chenggong's poisoning, but after all, it is not a matter of investigation, so for us future generations, history has different opinions, and we don't know which one is right.

Not to mention history, but now, Zheng Chenggong learned that Ningbo Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion had been recovered, King Lu returned to Shaoxing Mansion, contacted Zhang Huangyan, immediately led the army, and joined Zhang Mingzhen to attack Chongming Island. A group of people waited, sent troops from Hangzhou Mansion, stormed Zhenjiang, and besieged Jinling Mansion on both sides.

The two sat opposite each other. Zhang Qiang would not put on airs towards Zhang Mingzhen just because he was the governor. Travelers all have a hobby, which is to collect celebrities. For celebrities like Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Qiang will of course treat each other with courtesy.

Zhang Huangyan is too loyal, and he has his own thoughts. Zhang Qiang used words to trick Zhang Huangyan several times, but Zhang Huangyan avoided answering. Therefore, Zhang Qiang felt that he would not show his lord at this time, or when he came under the banner of a bright lord. Some people came to join him, especially Zhang Huangyan.

But Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Qiang wants to test it out and see if he can be subdued.

Talents like this are actually suitable for serving as civil servants, magistrates, etc., but not for leading soldiers and fighting.

The two went around for a long time before they got to the point. There was no other way. This is a common problem among people in this era. It should be said that it is a common problem among officials and literati. Zhang Qiang didn't want to, but in order to subdue Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Qiang could only endure it. .

"Your Excellency, at this moment when the country is in crisis, you just stand still and don't think about making progress. It is really a failure of your talents in this life. Before I came, I took a look at the Jinhua Mansion. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and all businesses are prosperous. The spirit of your army Quite plump, with the demeanor of a strong army, I don’t know why your lord is willing to be a tortoise governor in this province?” Zhang Mingzhen directly talked about Zhang Qiang’s current situation without any politeness.

Zhang Qiang smiled, and asked back: "Master Zhang, if it weren't for my painstaking efforts, how could there be a strong army that defeated the Qing army many times? How could the people live and work in peace and contentment?"

"This—" Zhang Mingzhen was at a loss for words and couldn't answer.

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Since this is the case, our considerations are different, so let me just say it directly. When I was in contact with Zheng Jun, I found that Zheng Jun's soldiers and horses are strong and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. The warship, the soldiers on the ship are all brave and good at fighting. It is said that they were trained by you, my lord. After all, we are also officials of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention being officials in the same dynasty, but we also belong to the people of the Ming Dynasty. When the country is restored, You and I may be officials in the same dynasty. There is such a thing in common. May the governor ask your people to train our army and provide some weapons and armor at the same time, so that we can recover Shengjing as soon as possible and let the emperor return to his throne. "

Zhang Qiang said: "The emperor? King Lu?"

Changing his sitting position, Zhang Qiang raised his legs, and said again: "Master Zhang is an official under King Lu, and I am Long Wu, a subordinate of King Tang. You are here to mention King Lu as the Son of Heaven. Should I arrest you?" Get up, and then send it to Tang Wang Xingzai, let Tang Wang deal with you?"

Zhang Mingzhen talked with Zhang Qiang based on the thoughts of the late Ming and early Qing, so his tone still carried an arrogance of being loyal to the King of Lu and distinguishing that the descendants of the Zhu family were the orthodox of the Celestial Dynasty, but Zhang Qiang just didn't like this tone.

"Princes and generals have kindness," this is his thought, and he is a lord supported by the system, the lord of Ming Dynasty, although he only owns a province now, and others do not recognize him as a lord, but he I admit it, but in fact he is the king and governor of an independent kingdom. The next step for the governor is the governor recognized by the lord world.

But he didn't want to get angry with Zhang Mingzhen, arguing about the orthodox legality of you and me, but he wanted Zhang Mingzhen to accept the facts and at least put aside the dispute. Share the credit, who will be the emperor.

"My lord Zhang, I think that now that the Daming has not been restored, everyone should work together to drive the alien race out of the Daming territory, or completely wipe out the alien race. In the end, everyone sits down and discusses who will be the emperor. Now everyone is concentrating on internal fighting. On, I think this is the reason for our failure, are the Tartars strong?"

Zhang Qiang looked into Zhang Mingzhen's eyes.

Zhang Mingzhen is also a smart person. When he heard Zhang Qiang's words, he fell into deep thought, and looked up at Zhang Qiang from time to time to accept his thoughts.

Before Zhang Mingzhen could answer, Zhang Qiang said again: "In terms of population, the Tartars are only 30 to 10,000, and the available troops are only [-]+. Only by using the strategy of fishing in the dry marshes to support the war can we concentrate our forces and energy, and focus on our weaknesses, and see what the Ming court was doing before?"

Zhang Mingzhen felt the same way when he heard this, and nodded unconsciously.

Zhang Qiang continued: "I believe this is the consensus of everyone. Daming is too big, so they concentrated their troops to fight against the Tartars, but those soldiers didn't think about Daming, they always thought about protecting themselves, devouring the court's grain and military expenses, and There was another natural disaster in the Ming Dynasty, which made the Tartars settle in the Central Plains calmly. Everyone knew the disease in their hearts, but no one wanted to cure the disease, but wanted to jump on an unsinkable boat and escape by themselves."

When Zhang Qiang said this, Zhang Mingzhen raised his head and rolled his eyes upwards. Why is he not like this, but the boat he jumped on was not a big boat. Now Daming does not have a real big boat. Although Yongli's boat is big, Yongli's boat is not strong. Longwu's boat was accompanied by Zhang Qiang's boat, but this boat was not escorted by Longwu, or escorted within his range, and he didn't care if it was out of his range.

If you look at the situation in Fujian at this time, you will know that Longwu is very busy, repairing holes everywhere, and cannot settle down at all. Without a stable rear, how to develop, the main attack direction of the Qing army is still Yongli and Longwu. This side is attacking, but their attack is also relying on Zhang Qiang's help. Now Zhang Qiang's place has become Daming's rear.

It was clearly a river, but the Qing army did not dare to cross it, and attacked the Jinhua rebels. They could only attack Longwu or King Lu. As long as the Jinhua rebels attacked, they would be defeated and suffered heavy losses. At this time, he was thinking, is it right? Jump on Zhang Qiang's boat.

But he still had a knot in his heart, because Zhang Qiang was the governor of the Longwu court, not the king of Lu who made him the governor, and he was a little unwilling and afraid to change his court.

As for Zhang Qiang, the reason why Zhang Qiang helped King Lu was to use King Lu as a magnet to attract the attention of the Qing army and strengthen his strength. He only attacked the Qing army at the door of his house. As long as the Qing army did not attack him, he would Don't trouble the Qing army.

What's more, he doesn't want to cause internal strife in Nanming at this moment, mainly because of his two ribs. If he becomes king himself, he will have to deal with the attack from both sides of the Longwu court and the king of Lu, and also deal with the Qing army head-on. Therefore, Zhang Qiang is also now You cannot change your family or become king yourself.

Zhang Mingzhen thought for a long time, and said: "My lord governor, I am not as rich and well-equipped as Zheng Jun, and I don't have an inherent territory, but since we are all officials of the Ming Dynasty and people of the Ming Dynasty, please help the old man, Mr. Governor. Let the old man do his part for Daming." He said it sincerely, and Zhang Qiang hesitated a little.

Zhang Mingzhen wanted him to help him for nothing. Zhang Qiang thought about it for a long time, and suddenly he thought, if he is kind to Zhang Mingzhen, will Zhang Mingzhen fall to him in the future?

After thinking about it, let's give it a try and help him, at least he can get a good deal and win his favor. This person is more upright and should be grateful to me. Isn't this in line with my previous thinking?

Anyway, if I don’t do it myself, Nanming’s officials and the court are also fighting each other. Why not infiltrate your own power into the King of Lu? Intelligence personnel are already doing it. They instigated the generals of the King of Lu and gained a lot. Thousands of soldiers and a dozen generals, although I can't use them now and need to be reorganized and rectified, but those are cannon fodder figures after all, if Zhang Mingzhen comes over, at least I can have one more magistrate to help me manage the place.

If there were no natural disasters, the scholars trained by Daming would still be very capable, and they would be more powerful in managing the local area than the servants he mentioned. You Haibo could implement his own policies without his own guidance and help. Management, now the management of the state capital with He Jin is no worse than that of Jinhua Mansion. My own methods and governance are the methods of later generations, but here is somewhat unacceptable, so let the scholars and officials of Ming Dynasty manage it. Those governance methods of later generations can be accepted by everyone slowly through practice and time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang nodded slightly and said: "In this case, I will help. How many soldiers and manpower do you have? I will ask my general Mi Lin to send troops to your department to train them. You can ask him for equipment and weapons." .”

After speaking, Zhang Qiang wrote an order and handed it to Zhang Mingzhen. Zhang Mingzhen immediately burst into tears of gratitude and bowed to Zhang Qiang continuously. Zhang Qiang waved his hand indifferently, "Go, I hope we can expel the Tartars from the Ming territory as soon as possible."

"A Ming official accepted you because he was grateful to you. You can focus on training him. He will be the first Ming official you recover, a historical celebrity. The system now issues a task to you to recover ten historical celebrities and reward chemical engineering. There is a factory that can make soap."

The system that always disappeared, the system that always appeared inadvertently, suddenly spoke to Zhang Qiang again.

And as soon as he opened his mouth, he released a task.

Soap, is Zhang Qiang using this thing now?

He's not a science man.

"It can enrich the commodities in your territory, enhance the commercial capabilities of your territory, increase the wealth of the territory, increase the prestige of the territory, the prestige increases, the population of the territory increases, and the population reaches 500 million. Capitalism can sprout and a modern city will appear. "The system explained Zhang Qiang's disapproval.

"Oh, okay." Zhang Qiang could only accept it.

Chapter 241 Make the world into chaos, the people from Longwu Dynasty come

After sending Zhang Mingzhen away, Zhang Qiang continued to pay attention to the army reorganization work in Jinhua Mansion.
