Zhang Mingwei understood as soon as he heard that Emperor Chongzhen was worried that he would be lonely and weak, and that he would not be able to do his errands, so he wanted to find a helper for him.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't say anything about this, but Zhang Mingwei also wanted to mention it. Otherwise, unless Zhang Mingwei can transform into a Gundam, it would be really difficult for him to make a difference alone.

Therefore, after listening to what Emperor Chongzhen said, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I want to use a person named Yan Yingyuan, who should be the history of Ren Jiangyin at present." ”

"Oh?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately became interested, and asked curiously, "Sir, does this person have a story?" ”

The crown prince Zhu Cihong on the side blinked his eyes when he heard this, and he was also curious, and then asked: "Sir, is it related to Jiangyin's resistance to the Qing Dynasty?" ”

In the previous documentary, it was just a sentence. said that Jiangyin resisted the Qing Dynasty for 81 days, and then suffered a massacre by Jianyu, but it was obviously noticed by Zhu Cihong and associated with it.

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei turned his head to look at him, showing a look of approval, and then turned his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen, his tone was a little heavy, and he said slowly: "After Jianyu went south, the soldiers were prosperous, and the momentum was like a bamboo. In less than a year, Jianyu was killed in Jiangnan. Only Yangzhou resisted for 100 days before it fell, and then built a captivate and slaughtered the city for 10 days, the whole city was almost dead, and the prosperous Yangzhou became a ruin. Ying Tianfu was frightened and did not dare to resist, the emperor fled, the princes and nobles, civil officials and military generals opened the door and surrendered, and the Hongguang Dynasty perished......"

When Zhu Cihong heard such a detailed description, his two little fists were clenched tightly, and his face was indignant, it was really embarrassing!

Emperor Chongzhen is similar, his face is pale, and even the green tendons on his forehead are revealed: It's a great shame, this is the courtier of the Ming Dynasty? And that Fu King, who also lost face to the ancestors of the Zhu family!

At this moment, Zhang Mingwei's words changed, his voice raised by one point, and he continued with respect: "But even in such a situation, Jiangyin will not fall. Under the leadership of this Yan Yingyuan, he led the people of the city to resist the Jianyu. It lasted for eighty-one days, and finally the city was broken and martyred! The people of Jiangyin, from the white-haired old man to the children of several years old, are loyal to the country, and none of them are spared! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's expression finally looked a little better, at least there were still strong people in the Ming Dynasty. But that's all there is to it, and then he sighed and said, "Sir, I'm afraid it's to comfort me, so that my face won't be too ugly!" ”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?" When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he didn't understand what he meant, so he immediately asked.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled bitterly and said, "How can the white-haired old man and the child of what age be loyal to the country?" ”

Obviously, he felt that Zhang Mingwei was exaggerating. In order to appease him, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for the Ming civil and military generals, princes and nobles, and even the vassal kings to be so spineless!

But who knows, when Zhang Mingwei heard this, he replied solemnly: "Your Majesty's words are wrong!" According to the information I checked, Jiangyin pretended to surrender and sent a white-haired old man as a representative to the Jianyu military camp to discuss matters. The bottom layer of the box containing silver and other things he carried was full of explosives, and he died with Jianyu! Whether it is successful or not, isn't it all loyal to the country? Also, assist in defending the city, moving bricks and tiles, whether you are loyal to the country......"

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned when he heard this, and then a look of admiration appeared on his face.

“…… The people of Jiangyin City are united and stick to it with all their might, so that they can hold on for eighty-one days under the attack of the Jianyu army! When Zhang Mingwei said this, he suddenly said slowly in a powerful tone, "Eighty days to bring allegiance, the figure of the Seventeenth Dynasty of Taizu." 100,000 people died with one heart and left 300 miles of rivers and mountains in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Emperor Chongzhen listened to his words, and the contrast of pictures flashed in his mind:

In response to Tianfu, the city gate was opened, and the princes and nobles of the Ming Dynasty, civil officials and military generals knelt all over the ground to greet the high-spirited Jianju;

Jiangyin City, the Ming pennant fluttering, the city's men, women and children, under the leadership of a small history, tenacious and unyielding, vowing not to surrender, so that Jianyu is at a loss.

Thinking of these, he couldn't help but taste a true feeling, and then repeated the taste: "Eighty days with allegiance, the characters of the Seventeenth Dynasty of Taizu." 100,000 people died with one heart and left 300 miles of rivers and mountains in the Ming Dynasty. ”

After reading it, Emperor Chongzhen sighed lightly, and then said to Zhang Mingwei: "Mr. said it so well, this poem made me see the backbone of the people of Jiangyin!" ”

"Your Majesty is wrong!" When Zhang Mingwei heard this, when he answered, he saw that Emperor Chongzhen was a little stunned, as if he didn't understand what he meant, so he explained: "This poem is a desperate poem inscribed on the wall by Yan Yingyuan when the city was broken!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was slightly stunned, then took a deep breath and praised it heavily: "Okay! ”

When Zhang Mingwei saw it, he knew that the name Yan Yingyuan, including his image of a loyal martyr who was loyal to the festival, was definitely engraved into the bones of Emperor Chongzhen.

Of course, he was relieved by the situation. Therefore, he added to Emperor Chongzhen: "This Yan Yingyuan is a wise and brave figure, not only can it be seen from the fact that he led the people of Jiangyin to persist for eighty-one days. And it is rumored that after he arrived in Jiangyin, he also convinced the Haikou Gu San Mazi with a magic arrow, so that when Jiangyin was surrounded, that Gu San Mazi led the boat to help. ”

The young man on the side, Zhu Cihong, although he was cultivated as a prince, was young and impulsive after all, and when he heard Yan Yingyuan's deeds, he was immediately impressed, and under the flashing of his eyes, he seemed to want to open his mouth to rob people again.

However, he soon remembered that this person was wanted by Zhang Mingwei. Eventually, his mouth opened, but he didn't say anything.

"Good, good!" Emperor Chongzhen learned about a heroic figure of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and his emotions were also aroused, and he immediately praised it, and then said to Zhang Mingwei, "I will pass on the decree tomorrow, and hurry up to let this Yan Yingyuan come to Beijing, and he will be sent by Mr., and he should be able to be Mr.'s right and left hand!" ”

After a pause, he asked again with a look of expectation, "Is there anything else that Mr. recommends from loyal martyrs?" ”

For him, a person like Yan Yingyuan who is loyal to Daming and has the ability, of course, the more the better! And he has high hopes for Zhang Mingwei, of course he doesn't think that just one Yan Yingyuan is enough!

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's words, Zhang Mingwei smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, did that Fang Zhenghua go to Baoding to supervise the army at this time?" ”

It is recorded in the history books that after the fall of Jingshi, Fangzhenghua would rather die in Baoding than surrender, and finally died in battle.

Emperor Chongzhen was a little puzzled, and thought to himself, could it be that Mr. wanted to use eunuchs in Jinyiwei?

Thinking of this, he said with a little embarrassment: "He was just sent to Baoding by me, but I already plan to use him to take over the Imperial Horse Supervisor!" ”

Before, Zhang Mingwei had already said that among the eunuchs, Fang Zhenghua and Wang Chengen were loyal to the country; But Du Xun, Wang Dehua and Wang Xinxin opened the door to welcome the thief. Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen was at that meeting, he already had this plan to use Fangzheng.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said: "That's not what I mean, when Your Majesty went to summon him, I wanted to ask him to bring someone from Baoding by the way." ”
