Chapter 170: Wen An's Death

Zhu Youdong heard that there were people who followed him to raise troops from Boryeong, and now they have all started to form gangs. "Who are they?" Zhao Shichao said: "Yes, such as Cheng Deyi, Zhang Chang, Ma Yuanjie." There are also Yao Zizhou, Nong Kaiguo and others who were injured before and could no longer go to the battlefield. ”

Zhu Youdong asked: "What about Gou Xingwang and Song Gaoju?" Zhao Shichao said: "They didn't participate, but after returning to Chongqing, they had a party with Zhou Dazhu." Zhu Youdong said: "That's good, you can arrange it, let Gou Xingwang and the others, as well as Zhang Chang and them, I want to meet them." As for the others, don't care about it first, let them toss first. ”

After Zhu Youdong made the arrangement, he was about to go to see Wen Anzhi, but now Wen Anzhi's condition is getting more and more serious. originally wanted to call Tan Shuanghua to go with him, but it turned out that Tan Shuanghua was not there, so I remembered that Tan Shuanghua said that her two brothers came to her today.

Seeing this, Zhu Youdong had no choice but to call Peng Changbao to see Wen Anzhi and come to Wen Anzhi's residence. found that several generals in Kuidong were there, Liu Tichun and Li Laiheng were sitting on the edge of the bed, talking to Wen Anzhi. When everyone saw Zhu Youdong coming in, they all got out of the way.

After Zhu Youdong greeted everyone, he saw that Wen Anzhi's condition seemed to be improving, but everyone's expressions became more and more heavy. A word suddenly popped up in Zhu Youdong's heart, that is, "return to the light." Zhu Youdong also wanted to blame everyone for not letting people inform him, but Yuan Zongdi pulled aside and said: "Master Hou came so quickly, the person who went to call you just left, and you arrived." ”

Zhu Youdong said: "I didn't meet the person who went to inform me, I happened to be fine, so I came to see the supervisor." What about the Overseer? Yuan Zongdi said: "It's not good now, the doctor said that it is no longer today." Isn't this an account of the aftermath? ”

Sure enough, I heard Li Laiheng say: "Master Wen, you can rest assured of these, we will definitely assist the Marquis of Pingyu to restore the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Youdong couldn't help but step forward, Liu Tichun saw that Zhu Youdong was coming, and hurriedly asked Zhu Youdong to step forward.

Wen Anzhi saw that Zhu Youdong was coming, and his eyes, which were already a little sloppy, suddenly showed a look of joy again. Wen Anzhi pulled Zhu Youdong and motioned for Li Laiheng to leave with everyone. Seeing this, Li Laiheng immediately withdrew from the room with everyone, but Wen Anzhi left Liu Tichun behind.

Li Laiheng and others don't understand why Wen Anzhi left Liu Tichun, but Zhu Youdong knows that the only people in Kuidong's generals who know Zhu Youdong's true identity are Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi, He Zhen, as well as Ta Tianbao and Hao Yongzhong. But now there are only two people in Chongqing, Liu Tichun and Yuan Zongdi.

After everyone withdrew, Wen Anzhi said to Zhu Youdong: "You are now the clan of the Ming Dynasty, and now the emperor has also been killed in Burma, and the banner of resistance to the Qing Dynasty will depend on you." I hope you don't live up to everyone's expectations, and don't let Daming break the national honor. ”

Seeing that Wen Anzhi had arrived like this, he was still thinking about the anti-Qing incident, and Zhu Youdong was also very moved. Said: "Don't worry, the superintendent, I will definitely regard the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty as my own responsibility, and I will never let down the superintendent's hard work." ”

Wen Anzhi said: "You are not a member of the Ming Sect, I know this." As I said to you at the beginning, today's world is not only the survival of the Ming Dynasty, but also the life and death of the Han people in the world. Although this is the case, I still hope that you can be kind to those clans of the Ming Dynasty, they are all the blood of Taizu. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "Don't worry, since I have the name of the clan, I will definitely treat the Daming clan well." Now Zhu Youdong doesn't want to think about Wen Anzhi's intentions, after all, he is a dying person. Why bother thinking about those troublesome things, so whatever Wen Anzhi said, Zhu Youdong readily agreed.

Wen Anzhi said a lot, and seemed to be very tired, but he still insisted: "I can't see the day when you can recover the Ming Dynasty, and I can't wait for you to be in prison." But I still want to ask, why is Huguang so empty now, but you let everyone stand still there? ”

Zhu Youdong wanted to explain, but when he saw Wen Anzhi's tired face, he said: "Now that there is no population in these places, even if we fight over, we can't supply the consumption of the army." We can't afford to raise an army now, but don't worry, Inspector, I will definitely restore the Ming Dynasty. ”

Wen Anzhi felt more and more powerless, and his voice became much quieter, and said: "You can do these things, when you recover the southern capital and enter Beijing, don't forget to tell me." In the end, Zhu Youdong almost put his ears to Wen Anzhi's mouth to hear clearly.

Zhu Youdong knew that this was Wen Anzhi's last words, and his eyes suddenly became wet. didn't think that Dao Wen Anzhi didn't say a word about himself at the last moment, and he was still thinking about this matter of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring his sight.

Zhu Youdong choked up and said, "Supervisor, don't worry, I will tell you when the time comes." Then Wen Anzhi pinched Zhu Youdong's hand, and then looked at Liu Tichun. Zhu Youdong immediately understood that this was to ask him not to murder Liu Tichun and others.

Liu Tichun and others know Zhu Youdong's identity, if this news leaks out, it will be very unfavorable to Zhu Youdong, and he will go from a benchmark for resisting the Qing Dynasty to a chaotic minister and thief who everyone shouts and beats. Those who fought against the Qing Dynasty together because of the call of the Ming Dynasty will suddenly become Zhu Youdong's enemies.

So the best way for Zhu Youdong is to kill these people, as long as they are all dead, Zhu Youdong's identity will not be revealed again. As for the people who had raised troops together in Boryeong before, they had no experience in political fighting at that time. As long as there is propaganda from Wen Anzhi and others, they really think that Zhu Youdong is a member of the Ming clan, but the world is in chaos and has fallen to Baoning Mansion.

Otherwise, there are so many people in the world, how can Zhu Youdong be able to raise troops to resist the Qing Dynasty, and still be able to make such great achievements? He is the Ming clan, which is blessed by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.

But Liu Tichun and others really understood that Zhu Youdong's identity was fake at all, but it was the compromise that Kui Dong and others had to make in the face of such a situation at that time, which also guaranteed Kui Dong's status after the two families joined forces.

Therefore, when Wen Anzhi saw Zhu Youdong's current power, he was afraid that he would start to purge people who knew his background. If Zhu Youdong wants to do that, plus Liu Tichun and others have now lost absolute control over the army, without the protection of the army, they will be very dangerous, and maybe they will even affect the family.

Originally, Zhu Youdong didn't think about doing anything to Liu Tichun and others, he felt that as long as his power continued to grow, plus his influence on the people and the army. In the end, even Liu Tichun and others announced their life experience. At that time, it had no impact on itself, and this world was still determined by strength.

However, in the past few days, those civilian officials have taken advantage of the fact that the military generals in the Restoration Army do not understand political struggle to provoke confrontation between several parties. The intention is to return to the old days when civilian officials were in charge of the army, or even directly commanded the army. This really made Zhu Youdong a little critical, and he wanted to get rid of Liu Tichun and others directly to avoid future troubles.

But now that I look at Wen Anzhi's situation, it is this weak person who looks like an old farmer. As a Shu Jishi in the second year of the Apocalypse, in order to resist the Qing Dynasty, he is now humbled to such a situation. Zhu Youdong didn't say anything in his heart, and said secretly: "Not all literati in the world only care about intrigue, there are indeed many people who only want to contribute to the Ming Dynasty." ”

Now seeing Wen Anzhi's expectant gaze, Zhu Youdong was stunned for a moment and said: "Don't worry, Supervisor, I, Zhu Dashan, will definitely not do things that kill each other, make relatives painful, and enemies happy." In that case, I Zhu Dashan will definitely pierce my heart with ten thousand arrows, and there will be no place to bury my death. ”

Wen An saw that Zhu Youdong swore a guarantee under his previous name, and he was immediately relieved. With the relaxation of Wen Anzhi, the continuous loss of life, Wen Anzhi has become more and more lacking in brilliance. Suddenly, Wen Anzhi's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Beijing, the first emperor." ”

With Wen Anzhi's two loud shouts, Wen Anzhi's voice also stopped abruptly, and the whole person went soft, and there was no breath anymore. Wen Anzhi, who has been running for Daming all his life, is almost incognito in Kuidong, and wants to restore the country. At a time when the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty was just improving, he finally died of illness in Chongqing under the double blow of illness and Yongli's murder.

The people outside listened to the room, Wen Anzhi suddenly shouted, and then there was no sound. Everyone immediately understood that Wen Anzhi was gone, and remembered Wen Anzhi in the past, no matter whether he was in agreement with Wen Anzhi before, he was very sad.

Wen Anzhi has no relatives and no children in Kuidong. As for Wen Anzhi's funeral, he can only let Zhu Youdong arrange it. Zhu Youdong asked Hong Yuao, who rushed to hear the news, to arrange, but he walked out of Wen Anzhi's residence gloomily.

Zhu Youdong remembered Wen Anzhi's life, and he just met Wen Anzhi in Baoning. If you want to say that this Wen Anzhi has any outstanding military talent, Zhu Youdong didn't see it. Wen Anzhi has been in Kuidong for many years, but he still can't rectify the soldiers and horses in Kuidong. can only let these people obey the dispatch of the Yongli Imperial Court on the surface, and secretly each family still has their own calculations.

If you want to talk about political achievements, Wen Anzhi is even more not, Wen Anzhi's most formal official was still a sacrificial wine in the imperial court during the Apocalypse, but he is also the manager of a national university, just like the president of a national university. There is not even a deed that can show his hand, but even such an inconspicuous person is willing to maneuver between various military towns in the difficult place of Kuidong for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as he hears that the Ming court needs it, he can always stand up without hesitation. In order to alleviate the pressure on the Yunnan court, knowing that Kuidong was already very difficult at that time, he still said that he would mobilize Kuidong to send troops to attack Chongqing. Although it ended in failure, Wen Anzhi can't be blamed for this, he had already done his best at that time, and he was many times stronger than those who chewed his tongue afterwards.

When thinking of this, Zhu Youdong suddenly remembered Zhuge Liang, the prime minister who worked hard for Shu Han. Although Wen Anzhi's deeds are incomparable with Zhuge Liang's political achievements and talents. But there is only one thing that can be compared, that is, for the sake of the country, he knows that he can't do it, and even if he dies in the end, he has no regrets.

In the next few days, everyone in Chongqing went to mourn Wen Anzhi, but Zhu Youdong did not pay too much attention to Wen Anzhi's funeral, but finally changed the place where Wen Anzhi was buried. Hong Yuao originally wanted to bury Wen Anzhi outside Chongqing, but Zhu Youdong asked him to be buried in the Wuhou Temple in Chengdu.

When Hong Yuao heard this, he immediately reminded: "Master Hou, this is not appropriate, although the Wuhou Temple is said to be the shrine of the Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, but next to him is the tomb of Liu Bei, the emperor of the Han Zhaolie. If the Inspector is buried there, I am afraid that it will be a bit arrogant, and it will not be good for the Inspector Wen. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "What I want is not Zhuge Liang's identity, but to let people remember that Inspector Wen is the same as Zhuge Liang." What is needed is the loyalty of the Inspector Wen to the Ming Dynasty, in order to restore the determination and will of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Hong Yuao said: "If it's just like this, I think it's better to bury Inspector Wen in Chongqing, and then change the Wuhou Temple next to Liu Bei's tomb into a martyr's shrine, specifically to worship those courtiers and generals who are loyal to the country." ”

When Zhu Youdong heard it, he said: "This suggestion is good, well, since there is no need to be buried in Chengdu, then send Inspector Wen back to his home for burial in the future, isn't Inspector Wen's hometown Yiling Prefecture in Huguang?" Anyway, it's not far from Kuidong, Wen Du didn't be able to go home before his death, and after he died, we sent him home. ”onclick="hui"
