Chapter 187

According to historical records, Zhu Dadian "searched everywhere and amassed wealth that rivaled the country" during his tenure, and almost everywhere he went, he would make a lot of money.

Especially when Fenglu was the governor, because the Ming Dynasty high-ranking was busy defending against the Qing army and Li Zicheng outside the Guan.

Therefore, he had no time to take care of it internally, giving Zhu Dadian a great opportunity to fill his pockets, and the money he collected in a few years was almost as rich as the country.

However, despite his greed, Zhu Dadian has never forgotten his nature of being a man and an official.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, because he was unwilling to work for the Manchurians, Zhu Dadian ran back to his hometown Jinhua to live in seclusion.

Later, when the Qing army went south, Zhu Dadian sold all his net worth without any hesitation and used it to recruit troops and horses to resist the enemy.

In Jinhua, Zhu Dadian established a regiment to train the townspeople, ready to fight the Qing army to the end.

In March of the second year of Longwu, the Qing army attacked Jinhua City.

For Zhu Dadian, who was defending the city, the leader of the Qing army had actually heard about it before, so he was ready to surrender, but the former resolutely refused and started a bloody battle with the Qing army.

In the end, because of the disparity in defensive conditions and troops, Zhu Dadian was finally broken by the enemy after holding Jinhua for a month, and he himself sacrificed his life for the country.

It is recorded in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty that in the last moment of life, Zhu Dadian never gave the other party a chance to be humiliated?

Instead, he walked into the city's powder magazine, placed himself on a powder keg, and gave a final account to the country he had bitten with his bones.

The Ming Dynasty set up two guards and fifteen institutes in Fengyang, and changed its name to Zhongdu, and the policy also took care of Fengyang, after all, it was the birthplace of the old Zhu family.

However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the system of guards was extremely corrupt, and they not only enclosed land, but also withheld the salaries of the guards at various levels.

The soldiers were poor and couldn't eat, but the commander of the guard post was very rich, this phenomenon not only existed in Fengyang, but even in the Ming Dynasty.

The corruption of the guard system is also one of the reasons for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

The current guards are of little use, and the reform of the guard system is also an important issue in front of Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen frowned, and said to the inner eunuch:

"Come here, pass on the green dragon, and see me in Yuhuatian."

"Obedience"

Soon after the eunuch left, Yu Huatian, the governor of the West Factory, and Jinyiwei commanded Qinglong, and the two of them quickly entered the imperial study and saw Zhu Youzhen bowing and saluting:

"The Governor of the West Factory, Yu Huatian, see the emperor."

Jinyiwei commanded Qinglong to meet the emperor. ”

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand:

"No courtesy."

Qinglong Yuhua Tian hurriedly thanked him:

"Your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty has to summon your humble position?"

Zhu Youzhen looked at the two right-hand men and said:

"Quickly send a decree to Zhu Dakai, ordering him to lead 5,000 troops into Fengyang, the central capital, garrison the army on the grounds of guarding the imperial tomb, and then go to the Shenji Battalion to select 20 sharpshooters and follow me to the central capital."

Hearing that the emperor was going out of Beijing, the two were taken aback, during this time, the emperor had offended too many people, and 20 sharpshooters were too insignificant.

"Your Majesty, it's not safe like this, it's better to bring all the Shenji Battalion."

"Yes, the emperor still brings more people, the road is too far, safety first."

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and smiled:

"There is no need, if the army swaggers into the central capital, my trip will be meaningless, carry out the order, pay attention to secrecy."

"Obedience"

Shengjing

The emergency military meeting of the Eastern Exile was being held, and Dolgon looked at the princes in front of him with a gloomy face, and the atmosphere in the whole hall was very quiet for a while.

Fan Wenchen was killed, Hong Chengchou, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongmin, these Han ministers, were either captured or arrested.

, the disappearance of the big traitors who usually give advice to them made the Eastern Kidnappers suddenly messed up.

When they existed, some princes looked down on them at all, and when these dog slaves disappeared, they knew the importance of traitors when they captured these unbeatable princes.

At least they know more about the Ming Dynasty than the princes of the Eastern Exile, and if they don't have their advice, the difficulty of the Eastern Capture to win the Central Plains is not a little great, and it is not even possible.

Dai Shan, Ji Bilong and others sent the most elite cavalry such as the Yellow Banner and the White Banner to attack Liaoyang with red-coated artillery.

However, Sonny and Dorgon did not support this suggestion, the ability of the Eight Banners to siege the city was weak, and they could not use their weakness to compete with the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Once the Eight Banners were annihilated again, the Eastern Capture had no foothold in Liaodong, and since Nurhachi, the Eastern Invasion of the Ming Dynasty would end in complete failure.

At first, they originally planned to take the opportunity to capture Liaoyang when the heavy snow came, but it has not snowed so far this year.

The Ming army seemed to be waiting for something, and had often gone out of the city to fight the remnants of the Eastern Invasion in the past, but they had recently closed the city gates and stopped attacking the Eastern Invasion.

Seeing that everyone was not actively speaking, Da Yu'er, who was holding Funing, coughed lightly:

"Let's say a few words from the mourning family, since the battle of Salhu, my Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers have been invincible against the Ming army, why is there a reversal now, you must do everything possible to ensure the interests of my Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, if we can cut off the supply line of the Ming army, will they retreat without a fight in Liaodong!"

The so-called words woke up the people in the dream, and Da Yuer's words suddenly made the eyes of all the princes present light up, and they all cast admiring glances at her.

I used to think that the Queen Mother was only good at sexual affairs, which not only made Huang Taiji infatuated, but also made Dolgon Cheng obey her pomegranate skirt, but now it seems that the Queen Mother still has outstanding military talents.

Dolgon's eyes were full of love when he looked at Da Yu'er, and he wanted to immediately hug her and reward her fiercely.

Finding the strange eyes of the princes, Da Yu'er was secretly proud in her heart, but a flush appeared on her pretty face, and Dai Shan, who saw it, was all moved, and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at it again.

Dolgon stood up suddenly, and said in a somewhat excited tone:

"Yes, cut off Minggou's supply line, if Minggou hadn't killed the Eight Great Emperor Merchants and cut off our materials and supplies, maybe my Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers would have already entered the customs, and I wouldn't be so passive now."

Sony nodded in agreement:

"Weichen supports the decision of the Queen Mother and the Regent, and suggests that scouts should be sent to investigate immediately, and after Minggou makes up for the pass, take immediate action, and if you can't bring them all back, set them on fire."

As soon as Sony's words were finished, suddenly a guard came to report:

"Report to the Queen Mother Regent, North Korea has all been captured by Minggou, and eight Mongolian tribes such as Weng Niute have also been wiped out by the Third Route Ming Army, and now the Horqin Department is in danger."

"What?"

The high-level officials of the Eastern Kidnappers present were all taken aback, and Xiao Fulin in Da Yuer's arms was almost thrown to the ground by her, crying in fright.
