In Pengqiao Town in later generations, and even in Dengzhou City, everyone knew that Peng Ershu, the Qing emperor who rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and chased and killed Yongli, but they didn't know that in the same town, there was Wang Jian who defended the Han family, and Zhang Xun, who independently supported the Tang Dynasty.

Nanyang is a place of outstanding people, all over the history books, the place is full of heroes.

Only a handful of heroes, who are known and should have been written about in a big book, are hidden in the cold history books.

Zhu Cijiong remembered Zhang's again.

The Zhang family in history, who was slaughtered in the early Qing Dynasty, supported Bailian in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and was slaughtered again until the clansmen scattered, and even ...... Forget that they once had a resounding name - Baishui Zhang.

This is the only branch in history, and it occupies the surname hall number of three state capitals (Nanyang Mansion, Dengzhou Mansion, and Xiangyang Mansion).

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, during the Xinhai Revolution, the governor of Henan defended the Qing court and sent troops to fight the rebel army in Hubei.

At that time, the Zhang family had already dispersed, and it was a branch of the Zhang family in Pengqiao, Dengzhou, which sold the family's land, cut off the foundation of the family's survival, and resolutely raised troops against the Qing Dynasty again!

That one of the Zhang clansmen is named Zhang Hengjin!

As a guerrilla commander in Yunyang Prefecture——

but not found in the encyclopedia......

Such people abound in history!

Zhu Cijiong's tears rained down......

It is said that every righteous slaughter of dogs.

It's just that these ones are either ordinary, or high-minded, or big landlords and nobles, or peddlers and pawns, or even beggars......

It is these ordinary people, with their fragile shoulders and their warm chests, that they have built a famous race that the world fears - Huaxia!

It is they who have cast a living name - Huaxia!

Where righteousness lies, although tens of millions of people go to me.

This is the soul buried in the hearts of the Chinese people......

Zhu Cijiong took a deep breath and bent down to the ground again.

"Zhu Cijiong, the unfilial descendant of the Zhu family, for Daming, for Huaxia, thank you!"

What he thanked was not the group of people in front of him, but the soul of Huaxia, who would never admit defeat, even though it was dusty, it could sweep away the bloody flesh and restore the pride of China!

It is precisely because of countless such people that I can rebuild our glory in times of repeated crises!

Seeing that Zhu Cijiong actually gave them a big gift, everyone immediately panicked:

"Don't dare, don't dare! Your Highness hurry up, the grass people and others should not be like this! ”

Old Madam Wang coughed lightly and glanced at her youngest son.

Zhang Siyuan was overjoyed, he was in his forties and should have been steady, but his steps were much brisker: "Your Highness, hurry up, don't bother us." ”

He picked up Zhu Cijiong and pressed him to the main seat.

Everyone saluted Zhu Cijiong again, and then sat on both sides.

Now that the two sides have decided on the name, the Zhang family has to be much more cautious when they want to do things next.

Old Madam Wang stopped talking and handed everything over to her sons.

Zhang Siyuan was born to the Wang family, and according to the concubine system, he was the son-in-law of the family, and he was the first to speak:

"Your Highness, now that the Qing court is powerful, and there are garrisons in Zhucheng, it is difficult for us to succeed in a hurry, if you want to oppose the Qing Dynasty, you have to prepare one or two ......"

Zhang Siyuan can't say too much, although the Zhang family has decided to help Zhu Cijiong against the Qing Dynasty, but now there are no soldiers, no weapons, not to mention money, food, and military intentions...... All things are unknown, even if you start in a hurry, you can't escape defeat.

Zhu Cijiong waved his hand: "Uncle, don't worry, I know we can't do it immediately!"

At present, we need to do three things, one of which is to secretly train soldiers, this matter should not be too much, the most important thing is to be less but fine, and a group of elite soldiers have been trained, as a template, in the future, when needed, the army can be greatly expanded!

Second, develop commerce and trade and make money, once we get into trouble, the money will be spent like flowing water, and there will be no money! ”

Zhu Cijiong told a joke, but the people of the Zhang family breathed a sigh of relief.

And Mrs. Wang nodded secretly, His Royal Highness's trip to Jingshi, although dangerous, was worth it!

With his current bearing and scheming, the chances of success are very high!

Zhang Yan also chuckled, and her face couldn't hide her joy.

Jiong'er has grown up!

……

Hearing Zhu Cijiong's words, the string that Zhang Siyuan lifted was finally loosened.

He is not afraid of opposing the Qing Dynasty, but he is afraid of insufficient preparation.

That time thirty years ago, he never tried again.

The time after Zhang Shutang was broken, the Zhang family lost a full fifth of the manpower!

Zhu Cijiong continued: "This third, I still need my uncle to do it with all his might. ”

Zhang Siyuan hurriedly nodded: "Please command, Your Highness!" ”

"Uncle helped me find a blacksmith, preferably one who can make muskets, and a prospector."

Zhu Cijiong pointed to the north: "This Qinling Mountains are reckless for thousands of miles, the inside is deserted, the veins are endless, we need to find iron ore, phosphate ore, copper ore, nitrate ore, sulfur ore...... Wait, these are urgently needed! ”

"This is easy, Qinling is big enough, as long as we don't go to Wuguan, we won't be exposed."

Zhang Siyuan nodded and responded to this matter.

Zhu Cijiong continued: "Food is very important, my uncle also needs to send people to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, sweet potatoes, corn and other things from Fanbang along the coast, although the yield of corn is not high, but sweet potatoes are a good thing!" ”

In the era when there was no chemical fertilizer, corn needed to be watered to set seeds, because the yield was really low, and even a lot of dry land could not be planted at all!

The yield of sweet potatoes is very terrible, and with a little cultivation, it is not a problem to yield thousands of catties per mu - while the yield of wheat in dry land is only 100 catties, which is a first-class paddy field, and the yield is not more than 200 catties.

With such a comparison, we know that sweet potatoes are life-saving food.

"Sweet potatoes? But sweet potatoes? Zhang Siben wondered:

"Your Royal Highness, I remember that when my father was an official in Fujian, he once mentioned this thing, and he said that although this product has a high yield, it is slightly toxic, and it is difficult to eliminate abdominal distension after eating for a long time, and it will hurt the stomach."

Zhang Siben is a concubine, and he is already in his fifties.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when his father was an official in Fujian, he already remembered.

"If this thing is not treated, it will indeed hurt the body, but it is not impossible to solve it."

Zhu Cijiong sighed.

Xu Guangqi and the others studied this back then, but unfortunately he died early before he could find a way to deal with sweet potato toxins......

If Xu Guangqi knew that this thing only needed to be mixed with fat, in other words, stir-frying, it would slow down the reaction of stomach acid, and I don't know if it would be startled from the coffin board......

Zhang Siben was stunned, how could he remember that his father sighed when he mentioned this?

Also, since the side effects of this thing have been solved, why hasn't it been promoted?

The yield of sweet potatoes is ten times that of wheat, and if this is promoted, there will be no fear of famine!
