Chapter 117 Zhu Dadian

Who is Zhu Dadian?

Zhu Dadian is an old minister, a Jinshi during the Wanli period, served in Fujian during the Apocalypse, made meritorious contributions to the fight against Hongmaoyi, took office in Shandong during the Chongzhen period, pacified the Kong Youde Rebellion, and later served as the governor of Fengyang, was impeached for corruption and dismissed at home.

Such a resume was placed in front of Zhang Xuan's eyes, which made Zhang Xuan have to worry a little.

And Zhu Dadian is a Jinhua person.

Just looking at his resume, Zhu Dadian's resume is not much worse than Fu Zonglong.

even made Zhang Xuan feel that if Shi Kefa and Zhu Dadian changed positions, Yangzhou City would definitely not be taken down so easily

"It's not that Daming doesn't have talents, but that there are talents that can't be used." Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "In such a critical autumn of survival, Zhu Dadian is an old minister who knows the soldiers, and he actually dismissed the official and lived idle for the crime of corruption. ”

It's not that corruption is not a big crime in Zhang Xuan's view. But in the environment of the Ming Dynasty, almost no one is not greedy, and when things are urgent, the lesser of the two harms. When the Qing court pacified the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Hunan army ransacked the entire Nanjing, and the Qing court did not know it, and Cixi did not turn a blind eye.

Zhu Dadian presided over the pacification of Kong Youde's rebellion, although he did not do his best, and let Kong Youde run away to Liaodong. But it was also one of the few battles that Chongzhen had won. Such talents, even if they are corrupt, should be used.

And Zhu Dadian is in Jinhua, no matter what Jinhua City is, it is a strong city.

Zhang Xuan thought about it for a while, and felt that this risk still had to be taken.

"What's your name?" Zhang Xuan said.

"Small, Xu Jiaying." The person who came said.

When Zhang Xuan heard the surname Xu, his heart moved, and he said, "What do you and Xu call each other?" ”

Xu Jiaying said: "The youngest is the Xu family, and the three generations are the Xu family. ”

Zhang Xuan listened to Xu Jiaying's words, and felt a little more relieved.

The concept of the ancients is not quite the same as that of modern people, Xu Jiaying is in this situation, that is, the so-called family child, and loyalty can still be guaranteed.

"You go down first, and I'll give you an answer later." Zhang Xuan said.

Zhang Xuan sent Xu Jiaying away, summoned the generals, and asked Zheng Lian to introduce the situation, saying: "This is an opportunity, there is Zhu Dadian in Jinhua City, and it is not an overnight situation." Once the troops are under Jinhua City, the situation will be difficult to handle. ”

Although Zhang Xuan is only a partial teacher all the way, his eyes will definitely not be limited to Jinhua City.

Jiangnan has not heard of soldiers for a long time, and almost all prefectures and counties are defenseless, and some are just mere government servants and volunteers. This is also the reason why the army went east and encountered almost no obstacles. But the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for the rebels.

After all, no one in the world is stupid

Even fools learn war in the midst of war.

Once several prefectures and counties in southern Zhejiang have eased their strength and used this as a basis to fight against the rebels, I am afraid that Zhang Xuan's strategy of first pacifying Jiangnan and then determining Jiangxi will be problematic.

Moreover, Jinhua is also an important place, Jinhua controls a passage in and out of Jiangxi, from Jinhua to the west, you can attack Jiangxi, and then attack Fujian. In the hands of the righteous army, the righteous army can protect the essence of the south of the Yangtze River, push the war outside the Zhejiang Province, or limit it to the four provinces of western Zhejiang, after all, the four provinces of western Zhejiang, compared with the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou, there is a lot of difference.

Once Jinhua is owned by the official army, I am afraid that the rebel army will have to hoard heavy troops in Jiangnan.

The army is pinned down in the south of the Yangtze River and cannot move, and if the time is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that there will be big problems. After all, there is not much time left for Cao Ying. So be quick.

As fast as possible, the faster the better.

"Cao Zongyu." Zhang Xuan said.

"The end will be." Cao Zongyu said.

Zhang Xuan said: "Now that we are three days away from Jinhua City, you take a large team of people and horses to slow down behind." ”

"Yes." Cao Zongyu first agreed, and then said, "What do you mean? ”

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said, "General Yang, dare to go to Jinhua City with me." ”

Yang Shenzu laughed loudly and said: "Why don't you dare, whether it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, only if the general dares to go, I dare to follow." ”

"Okay." Zhang Xuan said.

Zhang Xuan gave an order, and the army immediately separated, and more than 10,000 cavalry, under the leadership of Xu Jiaying, headed towards Jinhua.

At this moment, in Jinhua City, Zuo Guangxian was also visiting Zhu Dadian.

When Zhu Dadian heard that Xu Du would ask tomorrow, he sighed slightly in his heart and said, "It's a pity that Xu Du." ”

Xu Du is good friends with Zhu Dadian's second son Zhu Wanhua, and he has a good relationship, in fact, these gentry in Jinhua Mansion are also in such a big circle, and Xu Du was also a person in the circle before, so many people know each other, although Zhu Dadian has not paid much attention to it, but he has also heard of this junior from his son.

At this moment, when I heard that Xu Du ended up like this, I couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Extraordinary times." Zuo Guangxian sighed and said: "If it weren't for this, it might not be possible to leave a way for Xu Du to live, but now this opening can't be opened." I am afraid that the people in the city are unstable. ”

Zhu Dadian's eyes flowed, although he was idle at home, but no matter how he said it, he was also a feudal official, a figure who led the troops to fight, and all aspects of the news could not be hidden from Zhu Dadian, but Zhu Dadian understood very well that no matter what he said, he was just an idle official. It's better to interfere more in places.

And today's event is also an opportunity for Zhu Dadian.

Zhu Dadian is in his early sixties this year, which is already very old in ancient times, but Zhu Dadian is in good health, his heart of fame has not been extinguished, and the idea of recovery in his heart is heavy day by day, without him, he knows that his time is running out, and if he does not recover now, I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future.

Now the thieves are menacing, and others have seen the danger, such as Zuo Guangxian. But he saw an opportunity.

Seeing the opportunity to reappear in the eyes and ears of the saint, if he can defeat the enemy with Jinhua City, protect half of Zhejiang Province, and hold on to the thieves in the south of the Yangtze River. Don't worry about the one in Beijing who is not reused.

Compared to this, what is it to be a mere Xu Du?

For Xu Du to have a bad relationship with Zuo Guang first, it is really not cost-effective.

Naturally, I omitted to mention it. Directly to the topic, said: "Jinhua City is a heavy place in the south of the Yangtze River, the city was dangerous in the early years, and there was no problem, but now only the West Gate is dilapidated, I am afraid it will have to be rebuilt." ”

There are many things that they have already discussed.

Gathering the people into the city, clearing the moat, and repairing the tools have already been done.

There is no other reason, before these preparations, it was not to guard against Zhang Xuan, but to guard against Xu Du.

The four prefectures in western Zhejiang, not quite the same as other prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, because in the mountains, in fact, the conditions are not too good, in the Chongzhen years, there have been a lot of things, but it is just a spin up and down, so the defense of Jinhua is much better than other places in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Westside." Zuo Guang frowned first, and he thought about it carefully. He had already inspected the city walls several times, and he knew the western city very well. also knew that the situation in Xicheng was not too good, and said: "However, it will be too late to repair at this time." ”

"No, it won't." Zhu Dadian said: "The thieves are still a hundred miles away, and the city wall of the West City, after all, has some foundations, first fill it with mud, and then build an inner wall in the city, first pass this level and then say, I have already repaired the book to give the sea general Wang Zhiren, General Wang promised to aid Jinhua." ”

Zhu Dadian got up and said with a few impassioned feelings: "I will guard Jinhua as its west." In the matter of strangling the thieves into the downstream, gather the soldiers from all hometowns, set up camp on the Qiantang River, and hold the Qiantang River, so that the thieves cannot cross the Qiantang River, so that the south of the Qiantang River can be preserved. After the whole army is reorganized, it will go north in a big way, and the recovery of Nanjing is just around the corner. ”

After Zuo Guang heard it first, he was slightly excited in his heart and said: "I immediately repaired the books of various prefectures and counties, and tried my best to block the thieves on the Qiantang River. ”

Cao Ying broke Fengyang in September, went down to Nanjing in October, and now it can be in December, and it swept the south of the Yangtze River. But it also frightened the Jiangnan gentry, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

It's almost impossible to catch up with one step, and one step at a time. So much so that it has fallen into the current situation. To put it mildly, the remaining officials in Zhejiang don't even have a specific anti-thief strategy.
