When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he knew that there were loyal martyrs in Baoding, and he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, please speak!" ”

Zhang Mingwei knew what he thought, so he opened his mouth and introduced: "There is a family in Baoding, headed by Zhang Luoyan and six brothers. His brother Zhang Luojun will Chinese Jinshi next year, his younger brother Zhang Luofu will also be a martial arts jinshi in the same year, and his younger brothers Zhang Luoshan and Zhang Luozhe will be Xiucai......"

This time, there is no description like Jiangyin, and there is no sense of heroism, just an introduction. However, Emperor Chongzhen knew that this family must be loyal martyrs, so he nodded appreciatively and said, "A talent!" ”

Zhang Mingwei listened, showed admiration and continued to introduce: "In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Beijing division was besieged, and Ma Dai, the chief soldier of Baoding, entrusted the defense of Baoding to Zhang Luoyan, and then killed the family to rescue the Beijing division. It's just a pity that the Jingshi side opened the door to welcome the thief and fell too early. When Zhang Luoyan heard this, he cried and worshipped, hung Chongzhen's money to Mingzhi, and scattered all his family wealth for city defense. However, the governor Li Jiantai's army was a thief, and Baoding fell ......"

When he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be extremely angry. Daming is this kind of scum again, and he has a high official position, and he has no temperament.

“…… Zhang Luojun killed the thief and died, Zhang Luoyan hanged himself, and his two sons also threw themselves into the well and died. Zhang Mingwei continued to introduce in a somewhat heavy tone, "When the city was about to fall, the two brothers warned Zhang Luoshan and asked him not to die to protect the Zhang family's incense. But Zhang Luoshan said that there are ministers who have a dead festival, and there must be no people without a dead festival. Then he and his wife Gao led their three daughters to die in a well. Zhang Luo was good at shooting, and he died of killing thieves. The women and children of Zhang Luoyan's family all threw themselves into wells or hanged themselves, and a total of 23 people died. ”

I don't know why, although Zhang Mingwei's memory is good, he obviously feels that after crossing over, this memory seems to be better. I can remember all the materials I have read before.

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was speechless for a long time. Even if he has not experienced the suffering of the people as an emperor, he can still feel and imagine the kind of tragedy and death described by Zhang Mingwei. These things are really not something that ordinary people can face and choose calmly.

After a long time, he sighed emotionally: "I still have loyal martyrs in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Most of the things he had heard before were thieves, or they were prisoners, which made him feel very bad. Now that there are loyal martyrs who practice integrity with their lives, he is naturally emotional.

In fact, in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, there were many loyal martyrs like this. It's just that there are many officials who have no solar terms, and they are more famous. Coupled with the deliberate propaganda of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it gives people the impression that the last officials are spineless.

At this time, hearing Emperor Chongzhen's emotion, Zhang Mingwei said seriously: "Your Majesty, there are actually quite a few loyal martyrs like this. At that time, the supervisor of Li Jiantai's army, Jin Yutong's family, was also full of loyalty and loyalty to the country. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "Good, good, good!" ”

Only in this way there are more people who are temperamental and loyal to Daming, and Zhongxing Daming can have expectations!

So, at the request of Zhang Mingwei, Emperor Chongzhen's will to Fang Zhenghua was added to the request that he take Zhang Luofu and Jin Zhensun into Beijing.

Emperor Chongzhen was relatively silent, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "It seems that I really have no eyes and no beads, and I have promoted those soft bones!" ”

As he spoke, his mood was a little depressed, and it was obvious that he had been hit.

Zhu Cihong looked at his father, and there was an expression of approval on his face, but fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen didn't notice it.

"Your Majesty can't be blamed for this!" When Zhang Mingwei saw it, he opened his mouth to comfort: "Your Majesty lives in the palace, and the factory guards are deaf and useless, and they don't know the situation outside, so they can only listen to what the court says." And most of those people in the court opened the way with money and joined hands to deceive His Majesty. However, despite this, among the people promoted by His Majesty, there are still loyal courtiers. ”

These words made Emperor Chongzhen feel a little better when he heard this, and when he looked at Zhang Mingwei's eyes, he actually showed a look of expectation. Although he didn't speak, his expression was obvious, he just wanted to hear which of the people he promoted were loyal ministers?

Zhang Mingwei naturally satisfied him, so he told him: "In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Zhou Yuji was stationed in Ningwu, and almost repelled Li Zicheng's attack, and finally died in dozens of arrows. His wife, Gao, was also brave, and led dozens of women to shoot arrows at the thieves according to the Peak Office, and finally they were burned by the thieves, and none of them surrendered. ”

Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan, and Zhou Yuji were all generals of the Yongwei Battalion, who belonged to the Imperial Horse Supervisor and were the pro-army of Emperor Chongzhen. It's just a pity that there are too few troops, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were fires everywhere, and finally the Yongwei Battalion was split to fight fires everywhere, and the result was that they were all martyred in a lonely battle.

This is directly under Emperor Chongzhen, and he was promoted, and after hearing this, his expression finally improved a little. However, after hesitating for a while, he still asked again: "What about the civil officials, are there any loyal ministers?" ”

Zhang Mingwei listened, nodded, and immediately introduced it to Emperor Chongzhen.

Fan Jingwen, a university scholar, left his last words: As a minister, you can't kill the thief and shame, and you will die with hatred. Then, he threw himself into the ancient well next to the Twin Towers Temple and died.

Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household, also left a suicide note: Nandu can still make a difference, death is my duty, don't use clothes to be restrained, expose my corpse, remember my grief. Then, he killed himself.

Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital, made a desperate word in front of the statue of Wen Tianxiang and committed suicide. Like him, there is also Wang Jiayan, the right attendant of the Auxiliary Rong Political and Military Department.

Meng Zhaoxiang, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, let his son escape before he was martyred. But his son Meng Zhangming, who had just become a jinshi, replied to his father: "If your father dies, what else do I have to live!" He hanged himself beside his father.

The soldier Langzhong became virtuous, not afraid of the thief and the blade, worshiped in front of the emperor's coffin, and then went home, and hanged himself with his mother, wife and children.

…………

To be honest, when Jingshi fell, there were still a lot of Ming officials who were directly martyred. However, more officials were born secretly and betrayed, so that later generations had the impression that there was no one with integrity in the late Ming Dynasty!

Zhang Mingwei's memory in his mind is particularly clear, and he tells the information he found at the beginning. Although there are many inconsistencies in the official position, after all, there are still two years to go, and there is nothing strange that the official position is not right.

After Emperor Chongzhen heard these civil officials of the dead festival, his face finally looked better. After Zhang Mingwei finished speaking, he immediately asked, "What about the royal family, is there any?" ”

Zhang Mingwei listened, nodded and said: "Among the nobles, the loyal martyrs are headed by Liu Wenbing, the Marquis of Xinle, and a total of forty-two people are dead; Gong Yonggu, the commander of the horses, and Zhang Qingzhen, Hui'anbo, were all burned to death by the whole family; Xuancheng Bowei Shichun's whole family of 17 people threw themselves into the well and died......"

Zhu Cihong on the side pricked up his ears and listened, and waited until Zhang Mingwei finished speaking, and before he heard what he wanted to hear, he couldn't help it, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, what about my grandfather and them?" ”

While asking, he was thinking about whether it would be the Dead Festival deeds that were more prominent, so Zhang Mingwei would take it out separately and say it.

Hearing his question, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but look at Zhang Mingwei with more concern, listening to what he said.
