Zheng Zhilong and the main force of Zheng Jun have long since retreated from Tongzhou, and only one of Zheng Jun's tails is still there, so it can be said that there will not be a single Zheng army here in the near future.

But some people rushed to Tongzhou in the dust.

This person is Yan Yingyuan, a child of a small family in Tongzhou, Chongzhen went to Jiangyin for 14 years to make history, and he showed a big face just after taking office.

Haikou Gu San Mazi led his troops to invade Huangtian Port, Yan Yingyuan led his troops to defend it, and fired three arrows in a row, and some people fell in response. Haikou was terrified and did not dare to commit it again. Because of the pacification of salt thieves, the pacification of civil unrest, and the outstanding political discipline during his tenure, the people of Jiangyin were grateful for his kindness and took a portrait of him in social studies.

However, this outstanding talent was not used by the Ming court at all, and after serving for three years, Yan Yingyuan was still a classic history.

With the outbreak of the Jiashen Incident and the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Yan Yingyuan, whose ancestral home was Tongzhou, had a home and could not return, so he was going to be transferred to other counties to serve in the county, or to the history of the canon, but also because his mother was seriously ill and the road was blocked, he could not make the trip, and the whole family temporarily lived at the foot of the sand mountain outside Jiangyin City.

How could Zheng Zhilong forget his great talent?

Thousands of years of China, secluded history, such as Yan Yingyuan, is the only case. Zhang Xun is still a county commander from Jinshi. As for Yan Yingyuan, he is just a small landlord with little money.

He doesn't have much fame, he is a donated prisoner, this is purely based on financial resources, in fact, seventy or eighty percent of the prisoners in the north and south of the country are donated, and it is not difficult to choose a classic history if you have money to go to the prison again.

But those who come like this have a limited future in the Ming officialdom. If you don't have a fame, you are naturally despised by those in power, you are not a jinshi, even if you are a lifter? Although there are not many people who are promoted to become big officials, it is not impossible.

There are Hai Rui in the distance, and Qiu Minyang and Hou Anguo in the close, all of which are from the background. But Yan Yingyuan is a prisoner.

In this time and space, because Emperor Chongzhen went south, he brought a large number of officials, which triggered a series of chain reactions, and Yan Yingyuan couldn't even enter the threshold of being a quality official.

In the original time and space, because he did a good job in Jiangyin, he had already been selected to be the main bookkeeper, and he was a second official. That is, the deputy of the county, who is the ninth product. This is a serious official. It has its own independent office office, and in some counties with a wider area or more complicated affairs, the assistant officials also have their own jurisdiction.

Even when the prefect is vacant or before the new prefect arrives, the deputy official generally acts as the prefect. There are many magistrates who are also directly promoted from the county.

But right now, in time and space, Yan Yingyuan is moving places, and he is still a classic history. Even if the actual status is really not inferior to the main book, to a certain extent, the canonical history is like the office director of later generations. When there is no county and master book, the canonical history is also the leader, so the canonical history is also selected by the officials and appointed by the emperor, so it also belongs to the "order official" and is the miscellaneous chieftain.

But one is not a product, this is the difference between heaven and earth.

Zheng Zhilong didn't ask people to recruit Yan Yingyuan seriously, because it was too abrupt, and the gap between the two was too big, and he couldn't find a suitable excuse. waited until Yan Yingyuan's term of office expired, and he couldn't go to the post to take up his new post, so he asked someone to make a crooked move and transferred Yan Yingyuan's 'new' to Dinghai to take up his post.

At the beginning, it was the same one-size-fits-all, and the entire Dinghai Yamen was opened, but soon he was recruited into the county government on the grounds of "outstanding resume".

At this time, Yan Yingyuan had a family that he couldn't return, and a country couldn't vote.

Because it was Emperor Chongzhen who ceded Dinghai to Zheng Zhilong, isn't it obvious that this country can't vote? If he dares to get off the ship, then there is only one way to say goodbye to officialdom. And his home is in Tongzhou, which is already the territory of the Tartars. In this way, Yan Yingyuan can only sit and eat empty. This is not a 'reality' that the Chinese are willing to accept.

Therefore, although Yan Yingyuan was a little reluctant, he still got on the Zheng family's ship.

This time I went up, and I didn't get off the boat again. Especially after the failure of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty last year, Yan Yingyuan's hope of returning to his hometown was all pinned on Zheng Jun, which was really desperate.

has already achieved the position of the second-in-command of the Dinghai Governor's Mansion before.

Of course, there is a reason why Zheng Zhilong deliberately takes care of him, but it cannot be denied that this person who can leave a name in history with his true ability is indeed not stupid. Yan Yingyuan can't take his fame, but he is really good at handling general affairs.

Even if Zheng Zhilong doesn't pay attention to him, he can stand out as a civil servant.

And Zheng Zhilong, after encircling Yan Yingyuan, really didn't know how to place him. Let Yan Yingyuan join the army, can he adapt?

Zheng Jun is not a cold weapon army, it is a firearms army that has formed a scale. Even the Qing and Ming armies in the future are very likely to transform into firearms units.

In the rain of bullets, Yan Yingyuan was too easy to be damaged on the battlefield, he was just a low-level officer (just joined), and Zheng Zhilong could not give him enough careful protection.

But Zheng Zhilong has no reason to quickly raise him to a certain level.

It is Shi Lang and Jiang Zhe, who have also made many contributions, which have been promoted to their current status. Yan Yingyuan is just a classic history, and he has a lot of credit?

But let Yan Yingyuan take the civil official route, Zheng Zhilong was really reluctant.

Looking at the battle of Jiangyin to defend the city, this brilliance is comparable to the battle of Zhang Patrol guarding Suiyang. The whole process was generous and intense, tragic and awe-inspiring, and the eighty days brought allegiance to 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. When people think about it, their eyes are hot.

And it's the same as Zhang Patrolling Suiyang, everything that can be used in the thirty-six strategies has been used.

Fraudulent surrender, stealing camps, fire attacks, nailing cannon holes, straw men borrowing arrows, pretending to be gods, small group attacks, and landing Chu Ge...... Everything is done to the extreme, and all of them are full of creative light.

Yan Yingyuan in history, after being invited into Jiangyin City by Chen Mingyu, immediately compiled the household registration of the whole city into a book, and selected young and strong men to form a militia. He also strictly interrogated passers-by in the city to eliminate the traitors. Under his leadership, tens of thousands of people in Jiangyin City made the best use of their talents and materials, and distributed them in an orderly manner, and immediately turned the small city of Jiangyin into a well-guarded fortress.

This kind of super command and coordination ability is enough to make Yan Yingyuan an excellent general.

Resourceful and has a high command and coordination ability, is it too wasteful for this kind of person to tell him to leave the army and take the civilian route?

For example, Zheng Zhilong found an excellent place for him - Hokkaido, where he could fight both wars and govern the people. However, Hokkaido is still in a state of 'barrenness', and with his qualifications, he is enough to run and sit on the throne.

Now that Yan Yingyuan is rushing back to Tongzhou, this is naturally to take away his family members and friends in his hometown, even if he follows him to Hokkaido, it is better than staying in Tongzhou and being controlled by the Tartars, isn't it?

Yan Yingyuan has no father. But he also has an uncle, two aunts, and a large group of cousins, cousins, and cousins.

Because of his arrival, the entire Yan clan was happy on this day, and in today's troubled times, they can get a real shelter, which is what money will not change.

Uncle Yan's house is a small three-entry courtyard, which is lit up early and installed a new one, although the servants are busy, but each person's face is full of joy and spirit, and he does not feel a trace of tiredness.

There is no other reason, it is because of Yan Yingyuan's arrival, it is because of Yan Yingyuan's promise.

Go to Hokkaido first, that place is separated by the sea, safer than Jinan than Denglai, for the time being, the cat is on the head of three or five years, and so the Central Plains has a theory, everyone is really willing to come back, and then it is not too late to return to Tongzhou. This is where the ancestral tomb of the Yan family is located, can he, Yan Yingyuan, not want his ancestors to fool everyone?

And if you want to stay in Tongzhou, not to mention the impact of the future fighting and war, let's just say that once this stall passes, the Tartars will inevitably come to the door. As soon as Yan Yingyuan came back like this, the Yan family was so lively, and no one inside and outside Tongzhou City knew that the Yan family had started an official with Zheng Zhilong except for one Yan Yingyuan. Can the Tartars let the Yan family go? That is, Yan Yingyuan's side court brothers will not do well.

Yan Yingyuan either didn't go back to Tongzhou, and if he wanted to leave them in his hometown after returning to Tongzhou, that would hurt them.

But Yan Yingyuan also has a reason why he has to go home. His mother has been in poor health since she was sick a few years ago, so if she takes the opportunity to come back, when the dust in the north really settles, she will come back with a coffin.

Fortunately, the Yan clan didn't have any moths. Because even the most timid and fearful people now know that the Tartar is already in decline, and it is difficult to turn over again. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were also a pile of garbage in the hearts of hundreds of people, and Li Shun was not good, because they were all repeatedly beaten by the Manchus, but the Manchus were beaten by Zheng Jun again and again. This Zheng Zhilong's soldiers and horses now have more possibilities to dominate the world.

That's good, in today's Yan clan, who doesn't boast of Yan Yingyuan's unique vision? Not to mention many families who were about to move to other places, they were also interested in the Yan family, naturally hoping to get a favor with Yan Yingyuan.

Even Shi Daxuan, who stayed in Tongzhou, was alarmed and specially asked someone to prepare a gift to be delivered. Not for anything else, just for the sake of getting married. He is such a person, weaving relationships as much as possible, and not offending anyone as much as possible, as if there are no edges and corners.

By noon, the news had already arrived, and Yan Yingyuan had already disembarked from the boat in Zhangjiawan. can come to Tongzhou with twenty or thirty boats at this point in time to pick up his family members, only this ability, Shi Daxuan has to look up to him.

The entire Yan family's close relatives were in an uproar, not only the maid couldn't hold their breath, and they frequently looked at the gate, but even Uncle Yan himself couldn't hold his breath, and sent people to the gate several times to check.

It wasn't until almost ten o'clock that a group of carriages and horses came, the appearance of this carriage was not outstanding at all, several people from Uncle Yan's family were about to come out to drive away, Ma Mu stopped, and Yan Yingyuan, who they were waiting for, got out of the carriage.

Yan Yingyuan had long heard that the Yan family was lively, but when he saw such a big battle at the moment, his face was not revealed, and he was very happy in his heart: "Returning home, returning home, this is returning home!" ”
