Yiwu was called "Wusheng" in ancient times, surrounded by mountains on the east, south and north of the territory, and there are middle and low mountains, hills, hills, plains and plains in the territory, which belongs to Jinhua Mansion in Zhejiang.

During the 37th year of Jiajing, thousands of miners from Yongkang Prefecture gathered to open a pit, and Zhao Dahe, the governor of the county, led Chen Dacheng, a resident of the near mountain, to equalize it. The people of Yiwu are known for their bravery, and the number of soldiers has also begun.

Qi Shaobao Qi Jiguang heard his name, recruited troops to Yiwu, trained into a strong army "Qijia Army", and later fought in the south and the north, won many battles, and pacified the chaos, and the Yiwu soldiers got their name from this.

In fact, there are no mines in Yiwu, and the soldiers recruited by Qi Shaobao are not miners, but local farmers. It was these peasants who were brave enough to die, responded to every call, and used hoes, firewood knives, wooden sticks, and other agricultural tools and weapons to fight with thousands of miners from other places to protect their townships, and even killed more than 1,000 people. It is also known as "Lanxi Port, Xiaoshan Feeding Head, Yiwu Fist" in the folk.

The sky was getting darker, and the dark clouds pressed heavier against the ground, covering the vast wilderness. Small snowflakes, fluttering gently like catkins, hesitantly fell to the ground.

Wang Zhan took the snowflakes stuck to his head and body into the firewood room, opened the linen cloth layer by layer, and a spear head made of stainless steel appeared in front of his eyes. There was some rust on the head, but it was still sharp. Wang Zhan rubbed it gently, and seemed to smell the blood on it, the blood of the Japanese people, the blood of the Japanese people. Now, he has dug up the weapons of his ancestors, which is also glorious, and this long-dormant gun will also be stained with blood again, the same blood of foreign races.

Boom, boom, boom, Wang Zhan was grinding the gun so hard that he didn't even notice that his mother walked behind him. He wants to grind off the rust on the gun, so that it will bloom again with a cold and murderous atmosphere, and will also bloom with the courage and strength of the Yiwu people, and bloom with the dusty glory of the descendants of the "Qi Family Army".

The mother seemed to have no muscles and bones, and leaned heavily against the wooden door. Tears flowed down her cheeks and into her mouth, and a bitter and salty taste rushed into her heart. She probably knows what her son is going to do, that spear is the glory of the family, but it also carries the sorrow and pain in her heart.

"Mother. You? Wang Zhan woke up from his concentration and raised his head in surprise, he saw his mother's tears, his body was still twitching, and he hurriedly got up and hugged his mother.

Through the muddy tears, the mother looked at her son's face dimly, and said sadly and weakly: "Child, what are you going to do?!" You know you...... Your dad ......"

"Mother, don't be sad. I remember. Remember! ”

The mother's gaze fell on the head of the spear that her husband had used in Liaodong, and she couldn't help but tremble, and said in fear: "Child, why did you take it out?" You can't get into trouble! If you want to have three long and two short, how can you live if you are called a mother? Alas...... "She cried again.

"Mother, mother! Don't cry, listen to me! Wang Zhan wiped his mother's tears. Mother, the government urges grain and taxes. It's several times more than in previous years, if you still suffer like this, how can you survive this winter? ”

"There are soldiers in the government, and you have to recruit officers and soldiers to make trouble!" The mother wiped her tears and said, "Let's be bitter and eat chaff." No matter how you can get through it, right? ”

"Mother." Wang Zhan gave his mother a haircut, and the silver stems on her sideburns were sad, "You don't know. The Ming army has already reached Quzhou and Lishui, and I heard from them that the Qing soldiers are on the front line. But I can't stand it anymore. Not to mention the officers and soldiers in our place, there are not even a few Jinhua. Besides, the son is not alone, the patriarch has already contacted all the families, and he will enter the county seat in the middle of the night tonight and take back all our food. ”

The mother raised her head in surprise, trembled her lips, looked at her son in great surprise, and moved her lips for a long time before she said, "Since everyone has made up their minds, then we can't shrink back?" ”

"That's right!" Wang Zhan saw that his mother's tone was somewhat relaxed, and continued: "Then if you don't go, how can you hold your head up in front of the villagers in the future?" ”

The mother hesitated for a long time, and said helplessly: "Then, then my son should not come out, only take food, and don't kill people!" ”

"My son knows." Wang Zhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My son is just a family to be brave, how dare he kill someone?" ”

"Do you still have courage?" The mother didn't know her son yet, she was hunting in the mountains and forests, and she didn't come back for a few days, so she couldn't help glaring at her son, and she was talking about it again.

Yiwu County.

The county ordered Zhao Tingyu to wake up in the middle of the night and hold back his urine, but he was reluctant to be warmed and reluctant, and he was reluctant to give up the warm body of the concubine. After a while, I couldn't help it, so I put on my clothes and ran to the toilet behind the screen.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang transferred a large number of Qing soldiers, including Shandong, Jianghuai, and Henan. The tax is added again and again, and the people are miserable, but Zhao Tingyu took the opportunity to get a lot of money.

Thinking of the official hat on his head, Zhao Tingyu's mood was a little depressed, and he didn't know how long it would take to earn back the money he had bought and was missing. I hope that the imperial army can withstand it, and this battle will be fought longer, and the longer it is, the more you will earn.

Not everyone is born a corrupt official, Zhao Tingyu also thought that by reading the sage books hard, he could follow the teachings of the sage, "Qi family, govern the country, and level the world", and show his life's ambition. But the idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel. When he led the true meaning of being an official, he finally managed to make up a silver tael, and finally had a real shortage, and he became a corrupt official.

Got into the warm quilt again, hugging the concubine's body, Zhao Tingyu was just a little confused, and heard a commotion outside the dark window. Pulling, the dog barked wildly for a while, and soon regained its calm, and the sound of the wind drowned a qiē in the darkness.

"Ahh There was a terrible scream in the night sky, as if it was close at hand. Zhao Tingyu was excited, got up in his clothes, walked to the wall and grabbed the sword for self-defense. The sword is good, but unfortunately in his hands it is better than nothing, just a courage.

The noise was getting closer and closer, and Zhao Tingyu could already see the fire. He drew his sword and shouted outside the door: "What's the matter, who is on duty at night, come here, pass on Liu Bantou......"

None of the small officials in the yamen who had been circling him like flies responded, and the huge courtyard seemed empty, except for the whistling of the north wind echoing among the treetops. The concubine was also awakened, sat on the bed with her covered, and asked what was going on.

"Someone, who is on duty. Pass on Liu Bantou! Zhao Tingyu was a little embarrassed, and shouted at the top of his voice.

The courtyard door of the inner house was slammed open, and the faint light of the fire shining through the crack suddenly brightened, and a group of people with knives and sticks walked in in the wind and snow, and the torches illuminated the snow.

"King. Patriarch of the Crown? Zhao Tingyu opened his eyes vigorously, he was naturally no stranger to the people with heads and faces in this county, but the current royal patriarch was contrary to his usual gentleness, and his cold gaze made people palpitate.

"Dog officer, today is your time of death." Patriarch Wang didn't talk nonsense, stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Tingyu and scolded: "You are tyrannical, and you deserve it in the fishing and meat township." ”

"Ben. This county-" Zhao Tingyu heard his voice trembling, the sword in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he couldn't lift it, he wanted to scold but it turned into pleading, "Patriarch Wang, killing officials and rebelling is a big crime, think twice!" If the tax apportionment is felt to be too heavy, the county will immediately reduce it. Immediate reduction, why is it so? ”

"It's late." The royal patriarch snorted coldly. said: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty has exhausted its qi, it is the time for heroes to serve the country, what is the point of killing officials and rebelling?" Whoever killed this dog official saved him from making noise. ”

"I'll come." Wang Zhan took a step forward, and the big gun stabbed out like a dragon, not biased or oblique. Hitting Zhao Tingyu's throat, he was as fast and fierce as he stabbed a vicious wolf and beast.

"That's good." A person beside the patriarch blurted out: "The source of the Qi family's army, after the Yiwu soldiers, is really powerful." ”

"Your Excellency has won the prize." Patriarch Wang waved his hand and called Wang Zhan, pointed and said, "His ancestor is the Qi family's army. His father was martyred in Liaodong, which can be regarded as a martyr. ”

"After the martyrs, it's good." The stranger's eyes flashed, and he encouraged: "The Tartars will be destroyed, it is the time for heroes to make meritorious contributions, you work hard, and you will have a future." That sword—" he said, pointing to Zhao Tingyu's corpse, "and I'll reward you." ”

"Thank you, sir." Wang Zhan thanked him, strode to the corpse, picked up the sword and raised it into the air, and under the light of the fire, a cold light flashed, like lightning breaking through the sky.

The civil strife in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the unbearable oppression and exploitation, and the unbearable scourge of the Qing soldiers swarmed. Taihu Lake, Yiwu, Siming Mountain and other places have raised the banner of anti-Qing and anti-riot, and lit beacon fires everywhere in the empty heart of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. At this time, the Qing army was concentrated on the coast, as well as the defense line of Fujian and Zhejiang, and was caught off guard by the sudden outbreak of civil strife.

Moreover, many of the anti-Qing riots had the shadow of the intelligence bureau behind them, and they were well-informed and broad-minded, far from being comparable to the peasants in isolation. Although these intelligence officers are not professional military personnel, they have also undergone short-term training.

"If you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you can run." They still understand this simple military principle. The persimmon picks up the soft one, and the hard one is not touched first, according to the understanding of the intelligence officer, this is what is going on. Of course, these insurrectionary armed annihilation of Qing soldiers were not many, but they caused chaos in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and affected the supply of food and salary to the Qing army.

Those who openly raised the flag were relatively powerful, and there were still many who secretly engaged in sabotage, and the messengers who came and went were often intercepted and killed, and they disappeared for no reason, so that the contact between the Qing army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the localities was intermittent, and many important situations could not be communicated.

"The past five chaotic summers have only been passed on again and again. Today, the East should be prophesied, it is true that the way of heaven is good, and the situation is also thoughtful. The chieftain of the building stole in the Central Plains, his clothes became dogs and sheep, and the country fell to Rongdi. There is no flesh that does not gnaw his teeth at the slave chieftains. This domain advocates righteousness in the sky, hangs the people on behalf of the crime, tastes the courage of lying on the salary, and uses the army in ancient times. Here, he is a master of pro-unification, recovering the lost land, born in fire and water, and restoring the prestige of the Han officials. The civil and military generals of the pseudo-bureau are all the sons of the Ming Dynasty, who are poor and aggrieved, and they are entrusted to the court, and they are not patient? It is natural and righteous, and Huayi's distinction is very clear; Woody water source, loyalty and filial piety are at ease. Revenge and shame, not at a different time; Returning to the right and the evil is in today's ......

…… or lead the troops, and they will be appointed according to their numbers; or come clean, and measure the amount of material according to their duties. If the Mongols and Jurchens are rewarded by the state, they are not the same kind, and they are all within the cover of heaven and earth, and they also have the same hatred, and they have no two hearts, and they regard one body. And if you go back to the Tang Dynasty, the blazing light leaves will protect it. This domain is benevolent and righteous, and the rewards and punishments are long clear. Those who take the lead will have no second reward, and those who come later will have unforeseen punishments. A body of blessings and misfortunes, in between the millimeters; The name of the eternal merit is fought for in an instant. The division will no longer be raised, the time will not come again, the proclamation will be far and wide, and the salt will be known. Sincerely, the Ombudsman. ”

If it is said that in the kidnapping of Wu Yingxiong's family and in setting off a wave of popular anti-Qing movement, the intelligence bureau showed its might, and the inscriptions that appeared in the north and south of the river showed the breadth of the intelligence bureau's infiltration.

"Jianzhou belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and has been raised by the emperor for three hundred years, but it has repeatedly turned against it. So he took advantage of many difficulties, stole in the Central Plains, and recklessly acted in obscenity. As for the Liao people, they were devastated for 30 years, and the people of the Central Plains also suffered from repeated massacres. His grandfather was poisoned by him, and his mother and wife were even adulterated by him. Er's two or three orphans. is still a slave of its subordinates; Hundreds of thousands of weak women are the women of the Huzhong. I hope that my people will wake up and not make an act of hitting a stone with an egg, so that there will be an unforeseen disaster......."

At the same time as the inscription, there was also a letter to the Manchu Mongolian people ordering Jianning, who issued such a document as a princess before her. It really made the Qing court gnash its teeth.

At that time, the social foundation of the anti-Qing and Ming restoration forces was still quite large, and there was the momentum of the Ming army's repeated victories, and there were more and more signs of local instability in the areas ruled by the Qing court. On the contrary, their restraint has raised the hearts of the common people, and their hope for recovery has become even stronger.

The greatest threat to the Qing army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangsu was the Ming army in Fujian Province and the Ming army in the Zhoushan Islands. And the geographical location of the Zhoushan Islands is too important. Based on this, the Ming army's sailors constantly harassed. It also echoed the righteous teachers of Siming Mountain in Ningbo Prefecture, posing a heavy threat to the rule of the Qing court in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and containing a large number of Qing troops along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Siming Mountain, which was originally one of the bases of the Lu Jian State and Fujian and Zhejiang to resist the Qing Dynasty, has both the tradition and foundation of anti-Qing and anti-riot, and is close to the sea. In the landing and attack of the Ming army's naval division, the righteous division of Siming Mountain also responded. Because of these convenient conditions, some Ming soldiers served as the backbone of the Siming Mountain Volunteer Division, and received more than 1,000 flintlock muskets, which was the strongest among the volunteer armies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. There was a record of breaking Yuyao alone.

"This thing can't be taken seriously, don't listen to the wind and rain." The big leader of Siming Cottage, but secretly received the head of the Ming Court's Zhedong Independent Regiment and the position of general, Wang Jing, shook his head, and disagreed with the news of his subordinates' inquiry.

But Mr. Teaching is indeed weird, naming his son with the word "and", and the last word is still a strange character with the earth. The subordinate scratched his head and argued: "The subordinate thought, if it is really the dragon son and the dragon grandson, wouldn't it be a great achievement for us to save it?" ”

"A great achievement?" Wang Jing touched the hair that grew an inch on his head, and he was also a little moved.

"What's the deal?" Yu Zhihe, the actual leader of the independent regiment and a subordinate of the former Zhang Huangyan, walked in with a smile and said, "Let's go into detail when we say it, and if we want Zhoushan to cooperate, we will send someone to deliver a letter." ”

"Lord Yu, sit down." Wang Jing stood up very respectfully and said, "This brother has occasionally heard some rumors in Yuyao, and I don't know if it's true or not, and he is talking to me!" You've come just in time, and you've got an idea. ”

"Wind Legend! Nor shall it be despised for me. Yu Zhihe arched his hand with a smile, sat down with Wang Jing, and listened to the reason for the matter again.

Raising the flag of the old country, supporting the descendants of the deceased queen, and raising troops against the imperial court is a method commonly used by many people during the revolution of the dynasty. The puppet "Third Prince Zhu Case" that occurred in the early Qing Dynasty is an extremely prominent example. For the Qing court, the "Third Prince Zhu" himself was not terrible, but the appeal of the banner of "Third Prince Zhu" should not be underestimated. Therefore, every time an uprising broke out in the name of "Third Prince Zhu", it would make the Qing court feel like a thorn in its back, and it was not necessary to get rid of it as soon as possible.

And in history, the "Third Prince Zhu" has indeed become an unfailing banner of anti-Qing resistance. Yang Qilong, Cai Yin of Zhangzhou, Zhecheng of Henan, Yinian Monk of Taicang in Jiangsu, Zhang Nianyi and Zhang Nianer of Dalanshan in Zhejiang, Hanzhong and Xing'an in Shaanxi, as well as Jin Monk in Jiangnan and Simingshan in eastern Zhejiang, all took the "Third Prince of Zhu" as the call and rose up to resist the Qing Dynasty. Even in the 60th year of Kangxi (1721), Zhu Yigui in Taiwan rebelled, and he still respected the name of "Zhu Third Prince".

It's a pity that the real "Third Prince Zhu" didn't have any idea of resisting the rule of the Qing court at all, and he avoided the Qing movement, lest he be burned. In history, every time the "Third Prince Zhu" leaked his words, his identity would rekindle the fighting spirit of the people around him, and the fire of enthusiasm to resist foreign rule would be ignited in their chests.

Whether it is Siming Mountain, Ningbo, or Cixi, every time the "Third Prince Zhu" hides under a pseudonym to avoid trouble, someone will stand up and fight to the death against the behemoth of the Qing court. Even Zhang Yuehuai, an ordinary person in Zhenhai, immediately sold his property after learning that the tenant was the incognito third prince Zhu, and wanted to contact Haojie to fight against the Qing court......

It's a pity that the "Third Prince of Zhu" has disappointed these people who have sacrificed their lives every time, and as soon as he heard that someone else was going to leave a qiē to help him expel the Tartars, he immediately fled in a hurry.

In fact, the real "Third Prince Zhu" real name is Zhu Cihuan, is Chongzhen's fifth son, because he is the same age as the fourth brother (same father and mother) Zhu Cizhi, the second son of Chongzhen died early, so people are used to calling him "Third Prince Zhu".

At the time of the Jiashen Change, Zhu Cihuan was twelve years old, and he ran away in a hurry and was displaced. After being separated from his two elder brothers in the Dashun army, he fled to Henan with a general surnamed Mao and planted for a year. Later, because the Qing government investigated the "thieves", the surname Mao fled, and he could only wander alone. When he was thirteen years old in Fengyang, he met a former Ming elder surnamed Wang, inquired about the root cause, held his hand and wept, but stayed in Wang's house and changed his surname to "Wang", a famous scholar.

When Zhu Cihuan was nineteen years old, the Wang family suddenly changed, and he went into exile again. Later, he went to Zhejiang, and got acquainted with a Yuyao man surnamed Hu, a descendant of Yiming officials, and after the two talked about the scriptures, Hu Po admired his talent and learning, persuaded him to return to the world, and married his daughter to her. Since then, Zhu Cihuan has entered the Hu family in the name of Yuyao Wang Shiyuan, and has made a living by teaching private schools.

For decades, Zhu Cihuan hid incognito and hid in Tibet, and did not really engage in "anti-Qing and Ming restoration", and was afraid of avoiding it, for fear of becoming a signboard against the Qing Dynasty, so he did not dare to live in Yuyao permanently, but traveled around Siming Mountain for a long time to make a living by teaching.
