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

"I believe you!"

Chu Xianzhang patted Zhu Wanhua on the shoulder and said seriously:

"Not only do I believe in you, Your Majesty also believes in you and your son!

I think you should have received your father's letter.

Your Majesty has already made arrangements for your father's side, so you can rest assured. "

“Your Majesty’s grace!

The king's kindness is profound, and the minister and his son cannot repay it even if they die! "

Zhu Wanhua faced the northwest and bowed repeatedly:

"My father did mention this in his letter to me.

Duke Li (Li Fengxiang) has built a Hanjiang business in Jinhua.

My father already understood what Duke Li meant.

My father wanted me to kill the enemy with peace of mind and not worry about him. "

Chu Xianzhang smiled:

"Your Majesty is in charge of the defense of Shangjiang.

The area around Jinhua and Quzhou, located in the upper reaches of Zhejiang, is really an important place.

Your Majesty is here, and we, the people of Zhejiang, are no longer worried about the harm caused by the Tatars. "

Chu Xianzhang sighed slightly.

Zhu Dadian!

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Dadian was appointed as the Deputy Inspector of Fujian Province to resist the intrusion of the "Red Haired Fans"!

Great achievement in resisting external humiliation!

In the third year of Chongzhen's reign, Zhu Dadian was promoted to censor of Youqiandu and governor of Shandong. He first stationed himself in Qingzhou to dispatch military supplies, and then supervised the troops to fight against the rebels.

Kong Youde and others launched a rebellion, conquered the entire territory of Shandong, and threatened the capital of North Zhili.

At the most critical moment of the situation in Shandong, Zhu Dadian was ordered to assemble 3 soldiers, known to the outside world as a [-]-strong army. He took the initiative to attack the rebels, defeated the main force of the rebels, and killed the bandit general Chen Youyou.

Then he took advantage of the victory and besieged Dengzhou, killed the bandit commander Li Jiucheng, and almost wiped out his entire army.

This battle was a complete victory, a rare victory since the end of Wanli!

Great achievement in quelling the rebellion!

In February of the eighth year of Chongzhen, rogue bandits captured Fengyang and destroyed the imperial mausoleum.

The world shakes!

His Majesty ordered Zhu Dadian to be governor of water transportation and governor of the four prefectures of Lu, Feng, Huai, and Yang.

Zhu Dadian stabilizes the situation in Zhongdu!

Protect me in Zhongdu, great work!

At this time, Donglin saw that Zhu Dadian was so capable and attacked him one after another, saying that he "lost his state and county" and "overdue the thief"...

Zhu Dadian only had 1000 infantry and 500 cavalry - the emperor's order to him was to guard the Fengyang Ancestral Tomb.

As long as the ancestral mausoleum is not lost, Zhu Dadian has already exceeded the task!

——He only has [-] soldiers! ! !

However, Dong Lin's mouth can talk about life and death.

There are thousands of reasons in the world, but Donglin has thousands of excuses!

"All are right", the attacks on Zhu Dadian continue!

Even though Your Majesty is willing to protect you, you cannot stop the surging words of the "righteous people" in the world!

The emperor persisted until the 14th year of Chongzhen. Finally, when the wealthy families raised the price of grain in Henan and Shandong to one tael of silver and one pound of miscellaneous grains, he could no longer hold on.

He had no choice but to compromise and dismiss Zhu Dadian from office.

Everyone saw that Zhu Dadian was alive.

So, taking advantage of the fact that Xu Du responded to His Majesty's call to form a volunteer army to defend his homeland, he took the opportunity to confuse right and wrong and weave Zhu Wanhua into the list of "rebellion"!

Dong Lin’s truth, what the hell they say is correct!

The Ming Dynasty has an ancestral precept - no one will be forgiven for treason...

Except for Yu Qian, who pardoned the rebel leader Chen Jianhu during his time in power, was there anyone else in the Ming Dynasty for 300 years?

However, even though Donglin Zhongzheng accused them of treason, the emperor still saved Zhu Dadian's family.

But Zhu Dadian did not defend himself or cry out for injustice.

He is loyal to the country and the emperor.

Personal gains and losses, honor and disgrace, never take it to heart.

Even though he was a high-ranking official in the Hongguang Dynasty, Zhu Dadian would accept the seal and maintain the place for the emperor with just an order from His Majesty.

He still doesn't cry out for injustice or defend himself!

He is worthy of being a frontier official trusted by His Majesty.

Regardless of favor or not, regardless of personal gain or loss.

Whenever the family and the country were in trouble, as long as the Lord Long Live made a decree, he would rush to take up his post without any complaints.

With such ministers in the Ming Dynasty, why worry about the unrest in the world?

If everyone is like Zhu Dadian, why worry about the world being unrest?

This is the hero who should be remembered by the world!

Chu Xianzhang looked at the Yangzhou Yamen across the road.

The one in the shogunate...

Oh Te!

Chu Xianzhang spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

he--

You are not even qualified to carry Zhu Dadian's shoes!

……

Zhu Dadian was restored to power by Hongguang Chaotang, with the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and the governor of Shangjiang Military Affairs.

Shangjiang originally refers to the Yangtze River above Anhui.

Since the Song Dynasty, Jiangnan has become more and more prosperous.

And because Jinhua and Quzhou in Zhejiang Province are in the upper reaches of Zhejiang, in many cases, Shangjiang refers to this area.

……

Zhu Wanhua smiled shyly.

He waited for a while and saw that Chu Xianzhang had no intention of speaking, so he had to ask:

"Governor, when will we join the war?"

This morning, the Qing army had launched a tentative round of artillery bombardment.

Although the intensity is not very strong.

However, in the distance on Jingui Mountain, the Qing army could be seen moving its artillery positions.

The endless Qing army is transporting ammunition!

Obviously, the Qing army is looking for the best position - the next round of offensive is not far away.

"Participate in the war?"

Chu Xianzhang chuckled.

If it weren't for the existence of Handu merchants, Yangzhou City would have been captured by Dorgon long ago!

Originally before the battle, he had ordered the new national flag to be hung on the Handu Business House and Zuiman Building.

The Qing army fought for a while and found that the gun position was wrong and they could not directly attack the city head. They had already moved it once.

The city wall directly opposite the Handu Commercial House is where the best shooting range of Jingui Mountain is.

Dorgon was naturally unwilling to give up.

Yesterday, Xu Shiqing army saw him not moving for a long time and thought he was intimidating the Qing army.

During the artillery battle yesterday morning, several artillery shells from the Qing army landed on the eye-catching nine-story building of Zuimanlou.

How could Chu Xianzhang be willing to suffer such a loss!

Order a counterattack on the spot!

Zuimanlou is actually a fort, with hundreds of large and small cannons already deployed!

In an instant, hundreds of artillery shells fell on the Qing army's artillery positions!

Countless Qing army gunners were directly killed.

More than a dozen artillery pieces were directly beaten into pieces.

That's it, it's just Chu Xianzhang's warning!

He just let solid shells be fired.

Otherwise, as long as they use explosive ammunition, the Qing army will have to lose at least half of its artillery.

When Dorgon saw that he was serious, he hurriedly sent someone to apologize.

He even gave 100 million silver as a gift, claiming that it was an operational error by the soldiers and that it was an accidental explosion...

They even pushed out dozens of unlucky ones, pinned them down by the moat, and chopped off their heads.

Used to apologize to Daming...

If the Yangzhou salt merchants hadn't needed the Qing army to take action, how could Chu Xianzhang accept Dorgon's apology?

After driving away the Qing army, all the gold and silver belong to the Ming Dynasty!

……

"just wait!"

Chu Xianzhang chuckled.

He still cannot participate in the battle until the Qing army breaks the city.

If the Qing army did not break the city, why would those salt merchants panic?

If the battle wasn't fierce, how could those traitors jump out?

If they don't jump out, wouldn't it mean that they have no name?

The emperor said - what he wants is to uproot him!

The Yangzhou salt merchant’s pig has become too fat...
