Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Mei Chun was stunned:

What do you mean?

Eunuch Wu rolled his eyes and said in disbelief:

"Director Fang, your Majesty is going to take action against them?"

Fang Zhenghua laughed and lowered his voice:

"Drive the tiger and swallow the wolf!"

Drive away tigers and wolves?

Meichun and Eunuch Wu looked at each other, their hearts shaking.

Zhang Xianzhong arrived in Jiangxi a few days ago and was plundering the powerful forces of Ji'an.

Although Yuan Jixian repeatedly rebuked the emperor's army, he was indifferent and allowed Zhang Xianzhong to plunder.

It was obvious that Zhang Xianzhong's actions, like those of Zuo Liangyu, were tacitly approved by His Majesty.

Think again that before Zuo Liangyu left Guangdong and Guangxi, he brutally slaughtered some powerful people. After that, the emperor's tax policy in Guangdong and Guangxi was no longer obstructed...

This is enough to show that what Zuo Liangyu did was the emperor's wish!

Thinking about it from another perspective, Zhang Xianzhong did this because it was His Majesty’s instruction!

Thinking about it carefully, His Majesty wants to drive tigers and devour wolves from Jiangnan...

——The emperor who is recovering the capital but does not surround the Qing army, who is the tiger he is driving away, is ready to come out!

Jianlu is going south!

"Old Governor!"

Mei Chun frowned and couldn't bear to say:

"Jianzhou is brutal, so...are all the people in Jiangnan devastated?"

"Hahaha!"

Fang Zhenghua laughed, he stroked his gray fake beard under his chin, and said quite contentedly:

"You two think I really went to rest during these days?

Do not worry!

I am making arrangements for the places that should be protected! "

It was a matter of confidentiality. Seeing that Fang Zhenghua didn't explain it clearly, the two stopped asking further questions.

Fang Zhenghua pointed at the Shinto, and the three of them walked down the mountain together.

"The terrain here is steep, and I have prepared some cement for you. This is a powerful tool for rapid construction.

As for how to use it, I will leave guidance for you.

Your Majesty's special decree requires you, the Xiaoling Guard, to select strategic locations, build fortresses, and defend the ancestral mausoleum.

Meichun!

Your Majesty has only one request for you -

All the buildings on the ground can be discarded. As long as Taizu's remains are preserved, you and others will be the first to achieve success. "

Meichun and Mei Chun were overjoyed.

The wealthy family invited the Qing court, and the news that the Qing troops were about to go south could be hidden from the people at the bottom, but not from a general of his level.

These days, the wealthy gentry who have returned from Beijing are stepping up their efforts to lobby local dignitaries.

In other words, it was the consensus of the gentry to let the Qing army go south.

At the very least, a large number of people have already made their decision.

Especially Chen Hongfan.

Chen Hongfan, who accidentally escaped from Cao Huachun, has arrived in Nantong.

It's a pity that news about Chen Hongfan has been blocked.

There is no detailed information about whether this person is still in Nantong or whose house he currently lives in...

Meichun sighed.

If Heaven wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy!

Although he is the commander of the First Guard, he does not have many soldiers in his hands.

The Xiaoling Guards had only 288 soldiers.

Such a huge ancestral mausoleum is really impossible to defend.

Mei Chun originally made up his mind that everyone would die in battle.

As nobles, the Mei family has enjoyed the country's favor for generations. When the family and the country are in crisis, someone must stand up...

But I didn't expect that His Majesty would actually give such an imperial edict!

It would be much easier if we simply guarded Taizu's holy body...

The mausoleum of Taizu was built across the mountain.

In order to prevent someone from digging a robber cave from the top of the mountain that is the shortest distance from Xuan Palace, a large area of ​​the mountain was excavated above the tomb and filled with cobblestones.

This is true, but if there is excavation, it will inevitably be buried by collapsed cobblestones.

The unique design of Taizu's mausoleum ensures that unless hundreds of thousands of people are mobilized, the entire mountain will be hollowed out.

Otherwise, no one would be able to enter the Xuan Palace quietly!

If the Qing army really launched such a large-scale battle, could Fang Zhenghua just sit back and watch?

This is the tomb of Taizu!

How could Governor Fang tolerate their arrogance?

In other words, he only needs to guard the entrance to Xuan Palace!

There's no pressure there.

but--

Although Your Majesty only asked me to guard Taizu's coffin, I still have to do better.

My Mei family’s body is filled with the blood of the Tian family!

I, Mei Chun, am a general, but I am also a clan queen!

The blood of Princess Ming flows in my body!

Meichun made up his mind. Since Governor Fang had sent him food, he would recruit more soldiers and horses from the remaining military households.

The Mausoleum of Taizu is an important place of the Ming Dynasty. This is the greatest face of the Ming Dynasty!

If you can guard more ground buildings, His Majesty will scold you less.

This is my, Meichun, repayment to the royal family...

……

The three of them returned to the Xiaoling Guard Station. Sure enough, hundreds of large vehicles were parked on the martial arts playground.

Large trucks are loaded with goods.

The heavy carts drove deep ruts, leaving clear rut marks on the playground.

The soldiers of Xiaoling Guard were carrying goods happily.

Not only the soldiers came, but also Yu Ding, old, weak, women and children stepped forward to lend a hand.

Looking up, Mei Chun clearly saw through the opened boxes——

Fang Zhenghua not only sent them food, weapons, but also cotton clothes, leather armor and other items.

The children milling around the carriage, even holding candies distributed by the caravan guards, were chattering to others with childish words...

"I'm busy with work, so I won't stay any longer."

Fang Zhenghua grabbed their arms:

"In this life, we have been blessed by the country, and we must not become the scum who betray our ancestors for glory."

"Director Fang doesn't need to give any more instructions, Meichun knows what to do!"

Meichun gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously.

Eunuch Wu chuckled:

"Don't worry, Governor Fang. I have no children. It is a great honor for me to die in front of Taizu's tomb."

Fang Zhenghua looked around at the crowd and said loudly:

"Everyone!

During the Jiashen National Revolution, the Qing soldiers came from Shanhaiguan, led by the national traitor Wu Sangui, and went south to herd horses.

Everyone, our emperor will accept Tian Hongzuo tomorrow, bring prosperity to the world, ensure great success, emphasize Xi Leixi, and be the most righteous person to win the country with the Han Dynasty.

And I, the Great Ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, expelled the Tartars and restored China. This was the dynasty for generations, the most righteous dynasty in the world!

However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty conquered the country unjustly and was tyrannical without calculation. The people's livelihood was always in poverty, so that the country was declining day by day and was ridiculed by hundreds of millions of people at home and abroad. This is the public opinion of the world.

I don't see you, the great dynasty, North Korea, Ryukyu, Annan, Mongolia... all kneel before you and wish me eternal prosperity of the Ming Dynasty!

Our Emperor, Ming Yongsheng, is afraid that he will live up to the people's anxious hopes, so that the Ming Dynasty can be prosperous, strong and happy, and even have great harmony.

Since the Jiashen Revolution, our emperor has strived to unite the world into one.

Your Majesty has worked hard to ensure that the country can be upright in the world, unite the heavens, and provide great benefits to the people.

What do people want in this short life?

Fangzheng has a superficial view and thinks that we are riding horses in front of His Majesty to fight for the country, the king, and the people, and to kill the barbarians!

You are all military households of the Ming Dynasty and have enjoyed the country's favor for generations.

We, our generation, should join hands to share weal and woe, be united in government and the public, work with all our heart and soul, and never change our original intention to protect the country and the people. We should tremble with fear, eat our fill day and night, and never dare to slack off.

We are on the road to rectification - I am willing to encourage you all! "
