Zhang Huangyan, who supported the Southern Ming Dynasty and insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty for 20 years under the harsh situation, was called the Three Heroes of the West Lake with Yue Fei and Yu Qian, and the Manchu Emperor could include Zhang Huangyan in the Martyrs' Shrine, but Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Hong Chengchou and others were included in the biography of the second minister. Although the Manchus needed traitors and traitors to serve them, they looked down on those traitors, on the contrary, they admired heroes, and Zhang Huangyan was such a hero! This is a tragic hero like Li Dingguo, who makes men cry.

In the more than ten years since entering the sea, Zhang Huangyan has always been more and more courageous every time he has suffered a setback, even if there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up easily. It was not until Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo died one after another that Zhang Huangyan felt completely hopeless, disbanded the rebel army, and finally died heroically after being captured.

There is a poem that says:

Ten years across the sea is a lonely minister, and the good spirit Zhongshan is true.

The quail head righteous flag is out of Chu, and Yan Yunyu has passed through Fujian.

Wang Shihuan choked his heart and liver, and his father and old man cried tears.

Looking at the soldiers of Xiaoling in the south, you will see the Great Silk Longjin.

It's really disgusting to think of those TV series in later generations. Even the Manchu Qing Dynasty humiliated those ministers and despised them, but in later generations, the former residence of Monk Hong Chengchou became a patriotic education base, which is really embarrassing!

Nine years ago, in the Battle of Zhoushan, the Southern Ming army was defeated and Zhoushan was lost, which made Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, forced to go south. Although Zheng Chenggong helped the Zhejiang army recover the Zhoushan Islands, Nantian Island and other coastal islands in Zhejiang last year, the Zhejiang army followed Zheng Chenggong on the Northern Expedition, attacked the mouth of the Yangtze River, and recovered Zhenjiang and other places. Later, Zheng Chenggong was defeated in Nanjing, and Zhang Huangyan broke a lot of troops, at this time, Zhang Huangyan's Zhejiang army could only protect itself and could not attack. Fortunately, the Qing army's naval division was basically lost in Xiamen, and it was unable to cross the sea to attack Zhang Huangyan.

Thinking that he was about to meet this national hero, Wang Xinyu couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

Zhang Huangyan took his generals Luo Zimu, Chen Wenda and the boy Yang Guanyu to the dock.

"The Giant Ship! Giant Ship! "Before I even arrived at the pier, I heard a lot of people shouting excitedly.

Zhang Huangyan looked up in the direction of the pier and saw that a huge Western-style ship had been docked on the dock, and the sailors on board were lowering the cables. However, although this is a giant ship, it is hoisting the battle flag of the Daming Naval Division, and there is also a Zheng flag and a Wang flag on the ship.

"This is our Da Ming's ship?" Zhang Huangyan's heart was excited.

"It seems that the students heard from the people at the dock that this boat should have been bought by the king of Yanping." Chen Wenda said.

Luo Zimu asked: "My lord, the person who came is not the king of Yanping himself, but just a general under his command, and the students don't understand why the adults want to greet him in person?" ”

Zhang Huangyan replied: "Zhongxing, I am Ming, and the only hope is the king of Yanping!" And I heard that the general is a fierce general! First of all, the naval battle of Gaoqi repelled Shi Lang, and then landed in Yunxiao Zhao'an, with only 8,000 soldiers and horses, it took only three days to conquer the Yunxiao Jiancheng garrisoned by 5,000 Tartars! After that, it only took one day to conquer Zhao'an! Take two cities and annihilate more than 10,000 Tartars! This is a rare talent! In the future, if our Zhejiang army wants to go on the Northern Expedition, we need such a brave general with both wisdom and bravery! ”

Standing on the Drake, Wang Xinyu looked at the Zhejiang soldiers and civilians who came to greet him on the dock, and saw that the weapons and morale of these Zhejiang troops were far inferior to the Zheng family's army. Many of the Zhejiang soldiers wore tattered cloth clothes, and some wore captured Qing army armor. The weapons are also varied, there are broadswords, spears, harpoons, plate axes, and meteor hammers, but there are very few bows and arrows, and there are basically no firearms, which looks like a rabble composed of righteous people.

In fact, Zhang Huangyan also had firearms, but they were all placed on the sailors' boats, and his land division was extremely poorly equipped and had poor combat effectiveness.

The gangway was lowered, and Wang Xinyu was about to walk down from the Drake, but he heard someone at the dock report: "Master Zhang has arrived!" ”

The soldiers and civilians at the dock cheered one after another, and everyone automatically lined up in two teams to make way for Zhang Huangyan in the middle.

As soon as Wang Xinyu got off the boat, he saw a man wearing a big red official robe of the Ming Dynasty appear in front of him, surrounded by a group of generals, scribes and soldiers.

"The student has seen Master Zhang!" Although he had never seen Zhang Huangyan, by feeling, Wang Xinyu knew that the middle-aged high-ranking official in front of him must be Zhang Huangyan, so he stepped forward and reached the ground.

"This young general is Wang Yu?" Zhang Huangyan asked.

Wang Xinyu hurriedly replied: "It's the student!" ”

"General Wang has worked hard all the way! Come with me! Zhang Huangyan made a gesture of please.

On the boat behind, yellow-haired and white-skinned Britons disembarked one after another.

Chen Wenda was surprised, so he asked: "General Wang, dare to ask, who are those Taixi people?" ”

"They are all subordinates of General Ben!"

"But the Franc man?"

"No, they're neither Francos nor red-haired ghosts, they're a country called Britain in Tessie, we call them British, they're British."

Zhang Huangyan sighed when he heard this: "I have heard that the Taixi people have sharp artillery, and the king of Yanping can get the help of the Taixi people, which is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty!" ”

When I arrived at Zhang Huangyan's house, I sat down as the guest of honor.

Zhang Huangyan's queen Qingfeng brought tea and pastries, said a blessing to Wang Xinyu, and retreated.

But Wang Xinyu's observation ability is still good, and he found that Luo Zimu and Wang Qingfeng were eyebrows, and it seemed that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.

"Master Zhang, the maid just now?" Wang Xinyu asked.

Zhang Huangyan stroked his long hair and replied with a slight smile: "Don't underestimate her, she is a female general under this official!" His name is Wang Qingfeng. This woman has strong martial arts skills, and her character and appearance are also good. What's the matter, General Wang has taken a fancy to her? If you are interested, the official can be a matchmaker for General Wang. ”

As soon as these words came out, Luo Zimu's face changed greatly. But soon from white to normal, although he likes Wang Qingfeng, but Master Shangshu has spoken, what else can he do? If Wang Yu really wanted to snatch Wang Qingfeng, he could only endure the pain and cut his love.

Who knows that Wang Xinyu is right and said: "Lord Zhang, the student is already married!" Miss Wang is a good girl, and when the students see that she is in love with General Luo, it is better to be a matchmaker for them. ”

Zhang Huangyan nodded and said, "This Luo Zimu is the queen of Zhongliang!" His father, Luo Yunzhang, was separated in a battle last year and did not know life and death. Since General Wang is willing to be an adult, the old man just pushes the boat along the river and makes a matchmaker for them! ”

Wang Xinyu knew that Luo Zimu was Zhang Huangyan's loyal general, and in real history, after Zhang Huangyan was martyred, Luo Zimu and Wang Qingfeng both killed themselves. Later generations buried Luo Zimu behind Zhang Cangshui's tomb. Since I am here, I will definitely not let such a historical tragedy happen, they are all heroic sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty, and they all have to survive!

Luo Zimu's face suddenly turned red: "Lord Zhang, General Wang, the age of the lowly position is still young, and the Tartars are not peaceful, and the lowly position does not dare to talk about marriage!" ”

Wang Xinyu straightened his face: "If it takes ten or twenty years to get rid of the Tartars, you won't marry for ten or twenty years?" General Ben sees that the girl Wang has a heart for you, don't let others down! ”

"Ten or twenty years? Alas! If it weren't for the Tartars' delaying tactics by the King of Yanping this time, why would it take ten years! Conquer Nanjing, cut off the Tartar transport, as long as three or five years, you can pacify the Central Plains, the Northern Expedition to recover Beijing, and drive the Tartars out of the customs! Zhang Huangyan said very regretfully.

Wang Xinyu said: "Master Zhang, the students think that just cutting off the Tartar's transportation line may not be able to cause the Tartars to die quickly!" It will take at least ten years to completely win the Tartars! Maybe even twenty years! There is a full stop called to be hasty but not reached, and now that the Tartars are powerful, our army must not be in a hurry! Otherwise, it will be a disservice! ”

Zhang Huangyan's face was a little unhappy: "Cut off the Cao Yun, the Tartars in the capital will lose their food, and soon the army will be in turmoil!" Our army can pacify the Central Plains and recover Beijing without bloodshed! ”

"Master Zhang doesn't know! The students thought that cutting off the luck of the Tartars would not only not make the Tartar army upset, but would instead attract the Tartars to fight back wildly! Mr. Zhang, whose realization is full of eight flags in Beijing, has long been ** and vulnerable! The real enemies of our Ming Dynasty are those traitors who lead the way! ”

"Traitors lead the way?" Zhang Huangyan was stunned.

Wang Xinyu hurriedly covered up and said, "It's those second ministers!" And those green camps! The students called them traitors and the leading party. ”

"Are those thieves powerful? Stronger than the Tartar of the Eight Banners of Mongolia? ”

"Not bad! If there were no traitors, Tartars who were not good at mountain and water warfare, how could they come to Jiangnan? ”

Zhang Huangyan said angrily: "Those despicable villains, those guys who have forgotten their ancestors! My Ming dynasty was ruined in the hands of these villains! ”

Wang Xinyu arched his hand and said: "So the students think that we will first take Dongfan Island, and then attack Luzon, obtain silver by sea trade, obtain land and grain overseas, and after years of preparation, then pacify the Central Plains and recover the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Who knew that Zhang Huangyan stood up and flicked his sleeves angrily: "Ridiculous!" You wait for the erectors, don't try to restore my Ming, but stare at the barren land overseas! ”

"Lord Zhang is angry!" Wang Xinyu hurriedly stood up, "The student thinks that this move of King Yanping is the right way to restore my Ming Dynasty!" ”

"King Yanping has just passed through the Jinxia victory, and General Wang has landed in Yunzhao again, destroying countless enemies, why can't he take advantage of the victory to pursue? But to move to a lonely place overseas? You can explain it to me! ”

"Lord Zhang! The two islands of Jinxia are too small to feed my Ming army! If he can capture Dongfan Island, the king of Yanping can feed an elite army of 100,000! The area of this Dongfan Island is hundreds of times that of Jinxia Island! And then there is Luzon, which is a big island! If you can get more Luzon from the east, you will be able to recover my Ming Dynasty! In addition, the students also have an idea, that is, to seize Qiongzhou, which is rich in iron ore and can provide my Ming army with it! We first took Luzon in the east, then Qiongzhou, and then recovered Guangdong. At the same time, a naval division was dispatched to enter from the Yangtze River to cut off the north-south communication line of the Tartars. The sailor can go all the way to the southwest, enter the Sichuan, and link the thirteen families of Kuidong and the king of the southwest Jin Dynasty! In this way, the recovery of my Ming Dynasty is just around the corner! ”

"Is it really going to take ten or twenty years?" Zhang Huangyan sighed.

"Ten years is fast! The student calculated that building a powerful water master would be a gold-swallowing beast! The northerners are good at riding, the southerners are good at boating, and we can only give full play to the power of the sailors in order to completely defeat the Tartars! When the sailor is strong, then it will not be called a sailor, it will be called the navy! We will use the navy to reach the mouth of Dagu and attack Beijing directly! You can win the battle! ”

Although Zhang Huangyan still disagreed with Zheng Chenggong to fight Taiwan, he was helpless. Suddenly, Zhang Huangyan said as if he had thought of something: "This Zhoushan, after all, is not a place to stay for a long time. The Tartars could come at any moment. ”

"Master Zhang, Zhoushan still has to be defended! If we lose Zhoushan, what will we do with the Taixi people? The Tessians need our ceramics, silk, tea, and they can provide us with cannons! Also, the students brought a batch of Tessie muskets this time, please take a look! Wang Xinyu stood up.

"Oh! And how powerful is the Tessie musket? ”

"Students have one here!" Wang Xinyu pulled out a flintlock pistol from his waist and put it on the table.

Zhang Huangyan picked up the short gun and looked at it over and over for a long time: "Although this gun is well-made, it is too small, and the power will not be too great." ”

"Students have spears here, but it's not convenient to carry them with them. In addition, King Yanping also asked students to cast new artillery, which could be sold to the Zhejiang army! As long as Master Zhang gets the tea, silk and ceramics we need from the Jiangnan gentry. ”
