"Eighty days with allegiance, the figure 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 Zhang Zhang gently chanted this fateful poem and slowly walked into the meeting hall, his eyes were full of reverence when he looked at Mr. Yan.

That's right, the man Mr. Yan brought back by Kang Xing'an is named Yan Yingyuan.

Originally, the Changzhou Prefecture to which Jiangyin belonged had surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, but when the Manchu "shaving order" reached Jiangyin, the 60,000 righteous people in Jiangyin City immediately surged and refused to shave their hair. Jiangyin City did not have any regular army, but the 60,000 people were all soldiers at the moment, and they resolutely raised the banner of resistance to the Qing Dynasty. Their leader is Yan Yingyuan, the history of Jiangyin. Yan Yingyuan led 60,000 righteous people, faced 240,000 Qing army iron cavalry and more than 200 heavy artillery, trapped the lonely city for 81 days, causing the Qing army to break three kings and 18 generals in a row, and 75,000 people died - known as Jiangyin 81 in history. On the day of the destruction of the city, none of the righteous people surrendered, and the survivors were only 53 old and young.

After Yan Yingyuan was captured, he resolutely refused to kneel to the Qing court, and was pierced in the tibia, "blood gushed and served", but he never bent his knees, and finally died heroically. It can be said that he is the first hero at the end of the Ming Dynasty!

The desperate poem recited by Zhang Zhang was written by Yan Yingyuan when he was righteous......

Kang Xing'an heard the footsteps, looked up and saw that it was Zhang Li, he immediately saluted, and Yan Yingyuan beside him also bowed.

Zhang Li bowed slightly, walked to the main seat and sat down, and said to Yan Yingyuan with a smile: "Mr. Yan came to Liaodong this time, and this governor is very happy. ”

The first sentence of Zhang Li's mouth surprised Yan Yingyuan. The whole person trembled slightly, revealing a look of surprise. I couldn't believe my ears at all.

The title "sir" was a great honorific title in ancient times, and did not refer to adult men as it did in later generations. Yan Yingyuan had already learned a lot about the Tuanshan Army from Kang Xing'an's mouth before. For example, the only people who called "Mr." by Liaodong Governor Zhang Li were Song Yingxing and Lu Xiangsheng.

Originally, Kang Xingan went to Yan Yingyuan with a letter of appointment, but Yan Yingyuan was disappointed in the imperial examination, and he failed to be admitted to the Jinshi several times, so naturally there was no possibility of becoming an official. At first, Yan Yingyuan didn't want to come to Liaodong, but later he really couldn't stand Kang Xing'an's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and the name of Zhang Li is now thunderous in Daming, he also wants to come here to see - where is this young man named Zhang Li? He was able to turn the tide of the battle in Liaodong. Let "the Jurchen is not more than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible" become a complete joke!

Of course, in Yan Yingyuan's heart, "learning and excellence" is the biggest reason. Did the scholars of the Ming Dynasty read what books if they didn't want to be officials?

Zhang Zhang knows this, this Yan Juren is now in his thirties, and he was in his forties when he died, so he made a small history, and he was really an insignificant little person.

However. Don't underestimate these little people - the little people also have a heart to serve the country, they have the dream of saving the world, and they also have a heart that wants to counterattack!

If he hadn't come to this life, Yan Yingyuan would have been destined to be a tragedy. But just like Lu Xiangsheng, since he is here, he is such a heroic son and daughter of the Chinese nation. They must not be allowed to be "empty and sad"!

"Mr. Yan must wonder why this Inspector insisted on inviting you to Liaodong from thousands of miles away, right?" A guard had already served tea to Zhang Li, and at this moment Zhang Zhang was gently blowing the tea leaves floating in the teacup. He asked lightly.

Yan Yingyuan is just a small person after all, how have he ever seen such a scene?

If it weren't for the etiquette that Kang Xing'an had repeatedly explained to the Tuanshan Army before. It is absolutely impossible to bow down, and if he sees a high-ranking official of the second grade with a small person, he will definitely make a big salute.

At this moment, Yan Yingyuan only felt that his mouth was dry, and he couldn't help but be a little speechless because he usually had a rather calm personality.

Kang Xing'an saw Yan Yingyuan's expression on the side, and knew that he had never seen such a big scene, so he helped him start a round: "My lord, Yan Juren - uh, no, on the way to Jinzhou, Mr. Yan asked countless times why the adults knew that he was a small lifter, and he also gave him the official position of Haizhou Bingbeidao. ”

Haizhou Wei is now at the forefront of the confrontation between the Tuanshan Army and the Manchu Tartars, and the position given to Yan Yingyuan is the Haizhou Bing Beidao of Zhengqipin. Although the grade is very low, only seven grades, but the power is extremely heavy, and you can use literature to control the military, even the Tuanshan army guards in Haizhou must obey the orders of Bingbei Dao.

Zhang Li bowed his head slightly, looked at Yan Yingyuan, who was very cramped, with kind eyes, and said in a calm tone: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Yan is talented, and he ...... And he hates Jiannu very much, which is the talent that our regimental mountain army needs the most. ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhang continued: "Mr. Yan should know that there are many traitors in Liaodong, and that ancestor has received the grace of the country for 200 years, but he doesn't understand the truth of knowing the kindness of retribution, but instead votes for the Manchu Tartars. In the past, Inspector Yuan said that the Liao people could resist the Tartars thousands of miles away by guarding the Liao land. It's a pity that Yuandudu, ah, no, the grass on Inspector Yuan's grave is one foot high! There are too many open parties in Liaodong, and the Governor can't screen them one by one in a short period ......of time, and other places are just that, the Haizhou Acropolis is the front line, and there is really no room for failure."

Zhang Zhang once pondered how to explain his ability to be an "unpredictable prophet", I am afraid it is difficult to explain. But for those who are superior, they don't have to explain everything clearly to their subordinates, and they only speak half of the words, and sometimes the effect is better when the dragon sees the beginning but not the end.

Yan Yingyuan saw that Zhang Zhang spoke approachably, and there was no so-called "official authority", and his mood gradually calmed down at this time. He also understood the meaning of Lord Zhang's words, and the remnants of Liaodong's ancestor Dashou were traitors and two dogs, and for a while, Lord Zhang didn't have time to screen them carefully. Therefore, in an important position, Mr. Zhang still believes that there are more people in the Guannai...... This reason is reasonable, but it is unknown why Lord Zhang fell in love with him. However, if Lord Zhang doesn't say it, how dare he ask?

As the saying goes, "a soldier dies for a confidant", he is a person from a background, and his family has no power or power, so there is no possibility of being an official at all. Zhang Li's sudden promotion of himself to the Haizhou Bingdao of the Seventh Rank is really a great gift.

Yan Yingyuan is calm but not the kind of person who plays tricks everywhere, since Lord Zhang trusts him so much, then he can only make some achievements to repay Lord Zhang's kindness!

Thinking of this, Yan Yingyuan said in a loud voice: "My subordinates understand! The subordinates are willing to guard the country for adults! (To be continued.) )
