Chapter 224: Three Battles Dou Zhuang Zhang Fengyi
After the city of Liaoyang was broken, Zhang Quan was captured, and when he saw Nurhachi, he stood up and did not kneel, and grabbed a sword and put it on his neck to prepare for suicide at any time.
Nurhachi also felt that although this Liaodong Inspector was a civil official, he was also a strange person.
In order to induce him to surrender in order to appease the people of Liaoyang, he pressed him back to the Liaoyang official office.
The people in the city gathered together, like the Houjin army, asking them not to let Zhang Zhijun commit suicide.
And Zhang Quan said the last sentence to the people: "You are all good people." Then he tidied up his clothes, bowed three times and bowed nine times in the direction of the Beijing master, and then generously killed himself.
Zhang Quan had a good official reputation during his lifetime, and his martyrdom made the people of Liaoyang very sad.
After being martyred, Zhang Quan was posthumously presented by the imperial court as the secretary of the military department, and was called a martyr.
After Zhang Quan was martyred, Zhang Fengyi's grandfather, Zhang Wudian, the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple during the Taichang period of Wanli, decided to resign and retire, and the imperial court promoted him to the secretary of the military department and allowed him to retire.
However, Zhang Wudian's retirement was not to escape the world, let alone because of his son's martyrdom and became disheartened.
He is going to do something great for the country.
Although the Zhang family has produced several civil officials, both men and women are all-rounders with both civil and military skills.
Zhang Wudian himself is proficient in military strategy and good at surveying and mapping.
Liaoyang City is broken, Liaodong is in danger, and there is a period of unwillingness and depression above the temple, so the next counterattack on Shenyang City is brewed.
And Zhang Wudian saw the future of Daming's disgrace, so he wanted to do something for Daming in his own way.
He wants to use it in his own way because the Zhang family has a task that he must inherit from generation to generation.
The entire Zhang family is actually a tomb keeper, and they have been doing it for hundreds of years.
The world is about to be in chaos, and one of the important reasons why Zhang Wudian returned to his ancestral land is to do a good job as a tomb keeper.
Guarding the tomb is the duty of the Zhang family for generations, Zhang Wudian has not forgotten, but being a tomb keeper does not mean that he is just a tomb keeper.
This may be a bit verbose and awkward, first of all, it was the third year of Chongzhen, and Wang Jiayin, the leader of the rebel army in Shaanxi, had already fought from Shaanxi to Shanxi.
Speaking of the name Wang Jiayin, it may not be as famous as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong later, but this person can be called the ancestor of the two of them in the rebellion industry.
Anyone who knows about the uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty knows that the rebel army has 36 battalions and 13 families.
And it was Wang Jiayin, the original commander of the rebel army, who divided his soldiers and horses into 36 battalions, that there were thirteen in the future.
When Wang Jiayin divided the rebel army under his command into 36 battalions, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong were just horses under him.
Each was subordinate to one of the 36th Battalion.
Then Zhang Fengyi and Ma Xianglin beat Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong many times in the future, that is, they are the ancestors of the villain.
At that time, the main force of the Ming army poured all its efforts to encircle and suppress the Shaanxi Liukou, while Wang Jiayin judged the situation and jumped out of the encirclement of the Ming army into Shanxi to cause chaos.
At this time, the rogues were already known as the 36th Battalion, and boasted of supporting 160,000 soldiers.
As the ancestor of the rebel army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Jiayin is by no means a soft egg, he is also very powerful.
After he came to Shanxi, he broke through Qinshui and Yangcheng, and then broke through Zezhou City, which was known as Jiancheng.
This is also the time when Wang Jiayin's arrogance is the most victorious, but when this old ancestor was the most arrogant, no one thought that he could be planted in front of a small village.
This place is called Dou Zhuang, and people give it the nickname "Little Beijing".
Zhang Wudian and Zhang Quan's Zhang family guarded the grave here.
Since the Han Dynasty, there have been many grave guards in China who were sent by the imperial court.
The owner of the tomb must have been a prestigious and meritorious figure of the imperial court during his lifetime.
In the new China and the new century, there will still be news reports that there are grave keepers in such and such a place, and these people are still fulfilling their duties and carrying out the mission left by their ancestors.
In the most glorious period of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, the minister Dou Lan moved from Fufeng in Shaanxi to Qinshui, Shanxi, and later Dou Lan's daughter became the concubine of Song Zhezong, which was considered a foreign relative.
After the death of Dou Lan, a famous minister of the Renzong Dynasty, Zhezong assigned Qudi Village to the Dou family as an ancestral tomb, and designated a poor family surnamed Zhang to guard the tomb for generations.
And this poor family surnamed Zhang is the ancestor of Zhang Wudian and Zhang Quan.
It's just that in the Ming Dynasty, the Dou family has long since declined, but the original tomb keeper Zhang family has prospered.
Zhang Quan and his father Zhang Wudian both became officials, and after Zhang Quan was martyred, his father Zhang Wudian resigned and returned to his hometown, first to guard the tomb, as I just said.
And he actually returned to his hometown for another purpose, which was to build a city.
Little Beijing, this city was built by Zhang Wudian.
As mentioned above, Zhang Wudian is good at surveying and mapping, not only a civil and military all-rounder, but also a science and engineering man.
At that time, the family didn't know why Zhang Wudian wanted to build a small village into an iron bucket at any cost.
And Zhang Wudian said to his family: "The corner of Liaoyang is recruited, and the world is in an uproar."
It means that the world is about to be in chaos, so he wants to build a city to protect himself, protect the living clansmen, and protect the tomb of the Dou family.
Zhang Wudian built a city, and it took nine years to repair it.
This persistence and tenacity are no better than foolish tolerance, after nine years of hard work, he built Douzhuang into a city with a radius of one mile.
Moreover, the small Dou Zhuang was even built by him in the inner and outer cities, opening nine city gates and setting up nine checkpoints.
This is really interesting, and Zhang Wudian's intention is also very deep.
The small Douzhuang can also have nine gates, the local people find it very interesting, and since then they have compared this castle with the nine gates of Beijing, which is why Douzhuang is jokingly called Little Beijing.
Later, this city also had a name, called 'Lady City', and the name of this Lady City was even louder, and it wrote a history that can be sung and cried.
Back to June of the third year of Chongzhen, Wang Jiayin led 160,000 thieves to attack Douzhuang for a few days, and the thief ancestor had no choice but to retreat, but after retreating, he still felt very aggrieved, so he endured it for a year, and attacked Douzhuang again in June of the following year.
The ancestor of the thief had come to take revenge, and he had the confidence to win this comeback.
I am confident because there is intelligence, and the intelligence shows that Zhang Wudian has died of illness in this year.
is a big thief ancestor, it was precisely because Zhang Wudian had passed away, and Zhang Wudian's grandson Zhang Daojun went to Zhenshu Yanmen again, and the man was not at home, so he came to Douzhuang to bully the Zhang family's widow.
It's a shame to say, but it's even more humiliating to fight.
At this time, the head of the Zhang family, the widow of the loyal martyr Zhang Quan, Huo Shi, was not an ordinary wife.
This thief ancestor Wang Jiayin really didn't expect it.
What he didn't expect was that this time, he and Wang Ziyong also encountered a nightmarish existence for the rest of their lives.
This is Zhang Quan and Huo's daughter, Zhang Fengyi.
