Zheng Zhibao knew Hu Kaifei, and when he saw that this big man in the inner court was so polite to him, he was happy to fly.

His Zheng family is known as the overlord in Fujian and Nanyang, but in the Ming Dynasty, he is not even a fart.

Every time he entered Beijing, the patriarch Zheng Zhilong had to prepare a lot of money to settle the relationship. When I saw officials at all levels, whether it was cabinet ministers or senior officials of the six ministries, they all nodded their heads.

The fathers-in-law of the inner court spend a lot of money, just hoping that they will have a lot of good words in their daily lives.

Now seeing that this Gonggong Hu is so polite to himself, Zheng Zhibao laughed to himself: "I have far surpassed my Zheng clan patriarch!" ”。

At this time, Zhang Huangyan was in the guerrilla in Fuzhou, Zheng Sen was looking for the Jianyu grain and water division in the northern part of the Bohai Sea, and the three powerful figures in the Liao army, only Zheng Zhibao was in Lushun City.

So it can only be received by him all the way.

"Why did Grandpa Hu come in person? Could it be that the emperor specially appointed it? Zheng Zhibao asked knowingly.

"The emperor is very concerned about the situation in Lushun and Jinzhou, so he sent our family and Fan Shangshu to Liaodong to take a look around." Hu Kaifei was still polite.

"Fan Shangshu?"

"Oh, our family forgot, Zheng Zongbing is far overseas, and he doesn't know about the appointment and dismissal of the imperial court. A few days ago, the emperor had ordered Fan Jingwen to be the secretary of the military department, and this time, he will also come to Lushun to inspect for five days. ”

"I see." Zheng Zhibao looked back, didn't see the red-robed high-ranking official out of the warehouse, and asked, "I don't know where Fan Shangshu is?" ”

"Fan Shangshu is on the big ship, and he will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Hu Kaifei explained.

Zheng Zhibao saw that Hu Gonggong was the biggest official on the scene, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hug Hu Kaifei, helped him to walk towards the city, and at the same time quietly stuffed a gold ingot.

With a smile, he said: "Gonggong Hu will enter the city to rest first, and tomorrow, this official will take you around." ”

Hu Kaifei shook the ingots silently, and smiled happily, "So very good, so very good." ”

As soon as they entered the city, countless cheering people crowded on the side of the road.

It's not the usual scene of watching the excitement, but a cheerful welcome.

The shouts of "Welcome angels into the city" rose louder and louder.

Looking at the people who welcomed him, Hu Kaifei recalled the past.

When he went out of the imperial city as a small person in the inner court, what he saw on the road was either the superficial amiable but inwardly contemptuous eyes of civil officials, or the fearful or indifferent looks of ordinary Baixin.

Now looking at the sincere smiles on the faces of the people and cheering from the heart, he has a dream of staying and benefiting the people.

"It's a pity that I'm physically disabled and can't serve as a state official...... Hu Kaifei was a little lonely, but after thinking about it, "I can report the changes in this place to the emperor, and if I can promote it, it will also be a great merit!" ”

……

Just when Lushun greeted Hu Kaifei with great fanfare, Zhang Huangyan was still "reckless" in various parts of Fuzhou, and there was no grass everywhere he passed.

The territory of Fuzhou can be said to be full of desolation and ruins everywhere. It is already difficult to find a series of tunzi and forts.

Today, they even encountered a 100-member Jianyu team, the Ming army horses' hooves rolled, cut melons and chopped vegetables to eliminate them, and then quickly drove to other places, leaving a headless corpse on the ground......

In the evening, the Daming Fulong team, which had completed a day of killing and destruction, under the leadership of Zhang Huangyan, continued to march north against the blood-colored sunset, and went to the territory of Gaizhou, and soon disappeared into the gray mountains and forests.

At night, in the depths of the Liaodong hills, Zhang Huangyan arranged the open and dark sentinels, and started a daily ideological study meeting in the simple fortifications.

Because Zhang Huangyan was both civil and military, and was a guerrilla attack behind enemy lines, Chongzhen did not send him a full-time ideological instructor, and Zhang Huangyan could be said to be a political and military officer.

I saw hundreds of soldiers around the bonfire, listening to Zhang Huangyan's high-pitched speech.

"In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the chief Taiji led an army of 90,000 soldiers, divided into four routes, and entered the customs from Xifengkou and other places.

The Tartars did not attack the cities, but plundered the villages and forts. The captives had almost no food, grass and armaments, and all their food and clothing were looted, and wherever they passed, women, children, old and children were slaughtered, and all livestock and property were robbed.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the captive general Azig led 80,000 troops, broke the Juyong Pass into the fortress, abandoned the wolf all the way, and captured 12 cities.

That time, Jian captured more than 100,000 people from my Ming Dynasty. They all swept to Liaodong and served as slaves. It's the Han Baoyi that everyone sees now! ”

Most of these Ming soldiers were less than 20 years old, and they had heard about the construction of the fortress since they were children. But now hearing this astronomical figure, combined with the miserable life of the Han people these days, the plain narrative of the past years is immediately vividly reflected in my mind.

Their faces were flushed, their breath was short, and the anger in their hearts was blazing.

"From the winter of the eleventh year of Chongzhen to the spring of the twelfth year." Zhang Huangyan's voice echoed in the mountains and forests, "The captives Dolgon entered the pass from Qingshan Pass, and Yue Tuo entered the pass from Qiangziling, and they swept north of the Huai River. He captured 57 counties in three prefectures, captured more than 462,000 Han men and women, and plundered a large number of livestock, gold and silver property.

From the winter of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen to the summer of the sixteenth year, Jianyu entered the customs again and captured more than 369,000 people. ”

When Zhang Huangyan said this, he paused, and yelled and asked, "Is Jianyu murderous?" ”

"Murderous!"

"Are the people of the Ming Dynasty pitiful?"

"Poor!"

"So what should we do?"

"Kill all the prisoners, shame on the country!"

"Kill all the Tartars and avenge the people!"

Under Zhang Huangyan's arrangement, some soldiers took advantage of the high mood of the crowd and shouted slogans.

The emotions of hundreds of Ming soldiers were suddenly aroused, and they chanted together, venting the anger in their hearts.

This set of processes was taught to Zhang Huangyan by Chongzhen.

In doing so, the first is to raise morale, the second is to heal the psychological wounds caused by the killing and destruction during the day, and the third is to make the soldiers understand that they are not fighting for military pay, but for revenge and fighting for the nation.

The cries in the valley lasted for a long time, and when the soldiers gradually calmed down, Zhang Huangyan continued:

"For more than ten years, every time Jianyu took advantage of the critical period when the rogue was about to be exterminated by the imperial court and the officers and soldiers were most fatigued.

This made my Ming Wang Shi have to drag his tired body north to King Qin, so that the Liukou can resurrect, and after the Jianyu is ravaged and fed and returned to the north, he will continue to cause trouble in the Central Plains. ”

"Tartars are so hateful!" Some soldiers roared.

"Now! The current emperor retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, and at the end of the defeat of Jianyu, he sent our Fulong team to raid the Liaodong Peninsula! Turn him upside down! ”

"Turn him upside down! Hahahaha...... "The soldiers are all young people, and under the guidance of Zhang Huangyan's speech, they became excited again, and couldn't help laughing.

You must know that a tooth for a tooth and not revenge overnight are the best cool points, and Zhu Youjian naturally will not forget to teach Zhang Huangyan.
