Chapter 12: Finding Huang Wu

Zhu Xinyu nodded and continued: "Well, yes. Emperor Shunzhi knew very well www.biquge.info that Zhangzhou Yuegang was a very prosperous city at that time, with the reputation of "the southern library of the Son of Heaven" and "the first metropolis in southern Fujian", and the shipbuilding industry was naturally very developed, and the navigation technology was also relatively advanced. For Zheng Chenggong, who is good at naval warfare, the consequences of losing Haicheng County are incalculable. Originally, most of the supplies of the Zheng army came from the coast, which greatly weakened the strength and morale of the Zheng army. Zheng Chenggong lost the strong supply of Haicheng County and had to choose the Northern Expedition, but in the end it ended in failure, Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to cross the Taiwan Strait, seize Taiwan from the Dutch, and establish a new military base to continue the protracted confrontation with the Qing court. In recognition of Huang Wu's great achievements, Emperor Shunzhi once again posthumously crowned Huang Wu's ancestors and rewarded him with gold to build the Huang family ancestral hall in his hometown. The Qing court gave him such a great honor, Huang Wu was naturally very grateful, and then he fought hard and made many military exploits in return. Speaking of this, Zhu Xinyu suddenly felt his mouth dry, so he raised his teacup and took a sip before continuing: "There is also a folk legend about Huang Wu being promoted to 'Prince Taibao'. It is said that in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the prince followed the Shunzhi Emperor to the southeast coastal area to inspect, one day encountered Zheng Chenggong's subordinate Liu Guoxuan attack, Huang Wu struggled to cover the prince, and did everything possible to escort the prince back to Beijing, Xiaozhuang Empress Dowager was very happy, and immediately named Huang Wu as 'Prince Taibao'. After speaking, Zhu Xinyu couldn't help but shake his head: "A legend is a legend after all, and it is unknown how Huang Wu was promoted to 'Crown Prince Taibao' by Emperor Shunzhi." But what can be known is that during the reign of Emperor Shunzhi, he did not ornate the crown prince, but only ordained Xuanye as the crown prince in the form of a testament. Emperor Shunzhi accepted Tang Ruowang's suggestion, because Kangxi had suffered from smallpox and had immunity, so he was selected as his heir, and was assisted by Sony, Suke Saha, Kubilong, and Aobai. Therefore, the crown prince accompanied Emperor Shunzhi to inspect the southeast coastal area is just a rhetoric, and it is not credible. Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "The words seem to be far away." ”

"You just knew!" Dean Liu complained helplessly.

Zhu Xinyu laughed a few times and continued to get back on track: "In order to repay the grace bestowed on him by Emperor Shunzhi, Huang Wu devoted himself to helping the Qing government train sailors and build ships. Later, he also recommended Shi Lang, who had a grudge against Zheng Chenggong for killing his father and beheading his brother, with a straightforward personality who did not know how to meet his superiors, and did not like to play tricks when he saw mistakes, and Shi Lang, who was proficient in water warfare but was depressed, became the deputy general of Tong'an and assisted him in taking charge of coastal affairs. This is very similar to the scene in "The Legend of Deer and Ding" in which Wei Xiaobao recognizes the true talent at a glance, so I said that the historical 'first-class Haicheng Gong' Huang Wu is the real body of Wei Xiaobao in Jin Yong's novel 'First-class Lu Ding Gong'. Speaking of this, a smug smile flew on his face, and Zhu Xinyu was very satisfied with his historical presentation this time.

"Okay, okay, knowing you're good, it's better to continue to tell the story. Seeing his smug look, Dean Liu looked at his watch and said, "It's almost half past five now, and if you don't talk about it, you'll have to get off work!"

Zhu Xinyu also looked at his watch, thinking that it was so late, and if he didn't get into the topic, he would have to work overtime, which was not cost-effective! About the sixth year of Kangxi, in order to commend Huang Wu's merits, Emperor Kangxi awarded him the title of first-class duke, quasi-hereditary twelve times, and gave him a golden plaque to honor his ancestors. In the thirteenth year of Kangxi, Huang Wu died of illness in Zhangzhou, and was nicknamed 'Zhongke' after his death. ”

"I can't imagine that the two newly discovered stone tablets in a village have such a magnificent historical background!" Dean Liu sighed after listening to the historical story told by Zhu Xinyu.

"The historical value of Huangwu is not only here, but also has a certain help for the historical research of Zhangzhou Yuegang, the investigation of historical sites, and the application of the Maritime Silk Road as a World Heritage Site. Zhu Xinyu saw that Dean Liu was quite moved by Huang Wu's history, so he increased his historical weight. I hope that this time, Dean Liu will immediately arrange for him to accept this expedition to the mountainous area.

Dean Liu said, "Yes. He seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say that Lao Zhang just called, and why did you learn about this history so quickly?"

It seems to be telling the truth. Zhu Xinyu saw that he couldn't deceive Dean Liu, so he had to tell the truth: "A leader is a leader, and he has a pair of fiery eyes! That's why I'm here to meet you. ”

"Oh, what's that? Tell me about it. Dean Liu was puzzled.

Zhu Xinyu explained: "I first started researching Huang Wu's person and story as early as when I was in college, and my graduation thesis was based on his historical background. ”

"I see, no wonder. Dean Liu, who was suspicious, took a sip of tea and continued: "You won't tell me a story just for this matter, will you?" ”

Zhu Xinyu scratched his head and smiled: "The dean who knows me is also." Actually, I wanted to ask the dean to give me permission to send me to Zhangzhou for such a trip. ”

Dean Liu smiled and said, "You kid, it turns out that you want to slip away under the pretext!"

"No, I'm just interested in Huang Wu and his affairs, and I want to go to his hometown in person, visit the ancestral shrine built by the Qing emperors of the two dynasties for him at that time, see if I can find any new historical context, and collect information along the way. ”

"That's what you're for!" paused, "Since you're interested, I'll approve it." Dean Liu readily agreed.

Zhu Xinyu praised himself: Look, this is the iron relationship with the leader. "Thank you, Dean. Zhu Xinyu stood up happily.

"Wait, you can go, but you have to agree to my two requests. Dean Liu deliberately did it.

Zhu Xinyu shrugged his shoulders and posed as indifferent, thinking that the most important thing is that you are willing to let me go, and the rest doesn't matter. Then he asked, "What's the matter?"

Dean Liu said solemnly: "First, you must first finish the work at hand and hand over the work during the business trip. ”

On this point, Zhu Xinyu has thought about it a long time ago. Happy said: "Yes, I promise to complete the task." ”

Dean Liu pretended to be slightly angry and said: "Don't be smiling with me, be serious, don't lose the image of our museum." ”

Zhu Xinyu put away his smile, pretended to be serious, and said, "No problem." "It seems that I do have a talent for acting, and it will definitely be easy to enter Hollywood casually and win a Best Actor award or something.

Zhu Xinyu was complacent, and Dean Liu continued: "The second is that you can't go alone on this trip, I want to find someone to go with you, and by the way, supervise and supervise you, the monkey spirit who is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, for me." ”

No, such a trivial matter should also be supervised. Zhu Xinyu hurriedly retorted: "No need, Dean, you still don't believe me!"

"I just don't believe you. Dean Liu replied unceremoniously.

Zhu Xinyu sat back in his place helplessly, and said with a sad face: "Okay, which one do you want to send to spy on me?" At this time, his mood was super depressed.

Dean Liu was also very amused when he saw his dejected appearance, and pretended to ask for a moment before saying: "This person must be upright, have iron-fisted means and be able to control you, so that you can obey your words." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Xinyu pondered, who in the entire museum can control me? Besides, you have a lot of opportunities, how can you have such leisure and ease to go out in person! I see, this person has not yet been born. ”
