Daming Dongguan Bo He Zhen, who is 61 years old this year, was once a Lingnan hero, and he was good at literature and martial arts since he was a child.

As one of the members of the early Ming Dynasty fierce generals Tiantuan, he can not only lead the army immediately, but also can write poems, go on the horse to fight and get off the horse to study, although he has been old twice, but Zhu Yuanzhang has invited him back, when Zhu Yuanzhang has not recovered Fujian, he has already defeated all the warlords in Guangdong, stabilized the situation in Guangdong, attaches importance to people's livelihood, repairs more water conservancy, and also builds a lot of righteous schools.

After the Ming Dynasty defeated Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, and some people persuaded He Zhen to follow the example of Zhao Tuo, the emperor of Nanyue at the end of Qin, ascend the throne and become the emperor, and secede Lingnan to stand on his own.

But He Zhen knows very well that the world will be divided for a long time, and Zhu Yuanzhang governs the army strictly, his troops are strong and strong, and to a certain extent, he has safeguarded the interests of the old Yuan officials and the powerful people in various places, and the climate of the ministers and generals under the command of the Ming Dynasty has been completed, and there are signs of unifying the world, so he directly beheaded the people who persuaded him to be the emperor.

After Jiangxi and Fujian were recovered by the Ming Dynasty, He Zhen pushed the boat down the river, surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and personally led dozens of his sons and nephews to join the army, fighting for the Ming Dynasty in the south and the north, and made great achievements.

His son He Gui is also highly valued by the crown prince Zhu Biao, and is Zhu Biao's military confidant.

Now although he is in the age of sixties, he is still straight, his eyebrows and eyes are shaking, he smiled and looked at the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying in front of him and picked up a cup of beautiful soup, the soup cup is a big supplement, and he couldn't help laughing: "The emperor and grandson also know that Cantonese people are good soup?" ”

Zhu Xiongying shook his head lightly, and instructed Zhou Kuan and Zheng He to bring a cup to Wu Zhong, Marquis of Jinghai, and Zhang He, Marquis of Navigation, and then he clapped his hands and grinned: "Dongguan Bo saw and smiled, Xiongying is not a glutton, and he understands a little." ”

Dongguan Bo He really smiled and said nothing, looked down, but saw that this cup of beautiful soup was Sha Baiyin Chen soup.

"This is a special trip to transport by water, from Fujian and Guangdong to transport the fierce clams, I also added Dongguan coarse sea salt in it, but unfortunately the well water in Guangdong is not easy to transport, otherwise Dongguan Bo will taste the old taste of his hometown."

Dongguan Bo He Zhen was shocked when he heard this.

He touched his heart slightly, glanced at Zhu Xiongying, who was smiling and sincere, and lowered his head with his hand trembling slightly and took the soup spoon and tasted it, the taste was really the old taste of his hometown.

He couldn't help squinting his eyes and feeling a lot, he started the army in middle age, fought in the south and the north to pacify Lingnan, and later followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the east and west.

People look forward to returning to their roots.

Over the years, he has grown older, and he has been riddled with injuries and illnesses, and his homesickness has deepened.

Seeing that Dongguan Bo He Zhen was silent drinking the soup, Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Shibo, but the soup is not enough?" ”

He Zhen's mouth opened, wiped his eyes with his sleeve with a wry smile, and said hoarsely: "I didn't mean to be rude in front of His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun today......

Zhu Xiongying brought a few snacks, including preserved fruits from Guangdong, and fruits such as lychees specially transported from Guangdong.

Although He Zhen's expression was calm, his eyes flickered and he didn't say a word.

"Dongguan Bo quickly taste, a ride on the red dust concubine smiled, no one knows that it is lychees, these lychees are tribute, in order to entertain Dongguan Bo, I specially asked from the emperor's grandfather."

He Zhen hurriedly thanked him and stretched out his hand to take it.

But he didn't eat it directly, but looked at the lychee with a sloppy face, when he was a child, there were many wild lychees in the mountains and forests of Guangdong, and he climbed trees to pick lychees to eat at that time......

The years have passed.

I don't know why, the items presented by the emperor and grandson today are not seen everywhere, and there are Cantonese sounds everywhere, He Zhen picked up the lychee, his palm trembled slightly, and he burst into tears before he put it in his mouth.

"Shibo!"

Zhu Xiongying froze, he didn't mean to arrange it like this, he just wanted Dongguan Bo He to really taste the taste of his hometown, why was he suddenly so sad, but when he saw his appearance, he knew that He Zhen was more than half of old and sick, and his thoughts were aroused by himself.

He Zhen shook his head lightly and said: "The old minister is old, the people are old, and there are more sorrows, seeing things and thinking about people, seeing things and feeling homesick, which makes His Royal Highness the emperor and grandson smile." ”

Zhu Xiongying waved his hand and said seriously: "Why is Dongguan Bo mourning himself, now my emperor's great cause has not been restored, and Shibo still has the courage of Huang Zhong, so there is no need to be sentimental." ”

He Zhen was silent for a moment.

"Yes, I should go to the west of the sky, 99,900 miles, all of which are my emperor's homeland......"

As one of the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, a rare good start and a good end, and was once a wealthy lord of the secession party, He Zhen was also an ambitious person, plus his ancestors were Hakka people who moved to Lingnan in the Song Dynasty, and reminded their descendants of Lingnan everywhere, so he thought of returning to the old land of China.

wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun ordered the ministers to come, but there is something to explain?" ”

Zhu Xiongying grabbed the little yellow dog that had grown up next to him, and whispered with the dog's head: "I had something important to hand over to Dongguan Bo, but now I see that Dongguan Bo is homesick, Xiongying can't bear to tell him." ”

He Zhen immediately had a serious expression and said solemnly: "How can state affairs be blamed!" ”

"Although He Zhen is not talented, he can still carry a gun and get on the horse, and I still have three thousand good sons and daughters in eastern Guangdong under my command!"

"The ministers saw that the emperor and grandson were summoned this time, there were not only old ministers, but also Jinghai Marquis and Navigation Marquis, but because of the immigration of Fujian and Guangdong?"

Zhu Xiongying was moved in his heart, he knew that these founding generals of the Ming Dynasty were all human spirits, and many of the marquis were capable of literature and martial arts, and he just called these people together, and they themselves understood what they wanted to do, so there was no need to hide it.

"Since Dongguan Bo knows about this, he should understand that all parts of Lingnan, there are many clan fortresses, and they defend themselves with earthen forts, and my emperor Ming is difficult to collect taxes, and second, it is difficult to immigrate, and it is a good thing for the emperor to immigrate, Lingnan has many mountainous woodlands, and it is difficult to reclaim, if the landless poor people immigrate to Sichuan, Shu and Jingchu, they can survive, but the local tyrants in Lingnan have a group, resist the tax collectors, intercept and kill the officers and soldiers, and make the riots in Guangdong continue to ......"

"Most of these local tyrants are old people from Dongguan."

"Grandpa Huang knew that Dongguan Bo missed his hometown, so he specially ordered Dongguan Bo and General He Gui to go to Lingnan to quell the rebellion and supervise the immigration.

He Zhen couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly bowed and thanked God.

"I called Jinghai Hou and Navigation Hou to come, not only to ask them to help Dongguan Bo go to Guangdong by sea by sea, but also to ask Dongguan Bo and the two Hou Ye for important matters, you and the other three are used to dealing with maritime merchants and pirates, and they are well-informed."

"Zhu undefeated commander informed, there is a thing, called sweet potato, after this thing is planted, it is relatively high-yielding, can be used as auxiliary food for the famine, and there is a thing, called chili, which is transported from the far ocean, and there is another thing, called bud rice, good seeds can be eaten, these three things are very important, after Dongguan Bo went to Lingnan, pay more attention to the two Guangfan people and sea ships, if you find it, you will have to pay a lot of money to buy it!"

He Zhen sighed, his eyes flashed slightly, he had been in Lingnan for a long time, had trade contacts with local merchants, and had prepared logistics grain for Daming for a long time, and knew that these three things were important, especially sweet potatoes and bud rice, which were good varieties of spare food.

He Zhen nodded and said, "He Zhen will live up to the entrustment of His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun." ”

Zhu Xiongying waved his hands and said with a smile: "This is all what my Zhu Ming Emperor's predecessor Zhu Undefeated said, how do I know this, Dongguan Bo actually heard that my Emperor Ming still has 100,000 miles of homeland and has not said it?" ”

He Zhen nodded heavily.

His eyes were embarrassed, and he said in a deep voice: "My He family moved south to live in Lingnan during the Song Dynasty, and I can't wait to be young for 20 years, follow me to the army, hunt Beisai, and make immortal achievements." ”

"Now although my emperor Ming has recovered the clouds and recovered the clouds, the homeland of the Han and Tang dynasties has not been restored, and the ministers have not done their best work, so they are old."

"The clan of the ministers, from the Song Emperor to the north of Kaifeng migrated south, the ancestors have experienced the Yashan country...... National hatred and family hatred are passed down from generation to generation! My descendants have lived in Lingnan for hundreds of years, the old in the clan, never forgot my homeland in the Central Plains, regarded themselves as Hakka......

"I only wish that I will be in China, and there will be no more pain in the cliff mountain!"

Zhu Xiongying looked at He Zhen with a complicated expression, it turned out that this Dongguan Bo He Zhen, the ancestor was a descendant of the family who fled from Kaifeng to Lingnan during the Northern Song Dynasty, and the ancestor also experienced the Battle of Yashan...... No wonder there is such a deep emotion for China, the Hakka people because they have lived in Lingnan and Guangdong for a long time, such a place where barbarians live together, and their feelings for the old land of Central China are deeper and purer.

How magnificent this kind of affection is.

"Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are magnificent, and soldiers should be the strong shield of the country and the world, I would like this, everyone is the same!"

"The lights of thousands of homes are shining, and soldiers should be the guards of the sword, tonight, night and night!"

"Dongguan Bo, don't worry, lay the foundation for my Zhu Xiongying for 30 years, create a strong and prosperous 500 years for my emperor, and never return to the death of Yashan!"

Zhu Xiongying clenched his fists and said loudly in his heart.

"Zheng He!"

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zheng He and instructed Zheng He to take out a flag that he had prepared a long time ago, and Zhu Xiongying took the flag and attached a letter.

He also called Wu Zhong, Marquis of Jinghai, and Zhang He, Marquis of Navigation, to help open the flag.

I saw this flag with red face and green spikes, waving in the wind, and writing "Lingnan Xiongshi!" "Four words.

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile: "Dongguan Bo should not be depressed, my emperor Ming is now thriving, the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties has not been restored, and Dongguan Bo is still needed to shine, and the old man is determined to be thousands of miles!" This flag is given to Dongguan Bo by the commander of Zhu Undefeated, the national security envoy of the Ming National Security Division! ”

"I also hope that Uncle Dongguan and the two Hou Ye will work together to run Lingnan, open up trade routes, support more maritime merchants, and open up maritime trade routes for my Ming Dynasty."

"As for this letter, it was written by Commander Zhu Undefeated himself."

He Zhen took the letter, only to see that it was written that the Ming Dongguan Uncle Qi, he Shi Shiran opened the letter, the letter was only a few hundred words, concise and appalling, it was written by simplified words, and implored He Zhen to promote land reform in Lingnan, encourage business, widely open Yixue to teach simplified words, and recover the old Hakka department, calling on them to immigrate to Jingchu and Sichuan, and dedicate themselves to the country.

“…… Once there is any wind and grass in the north of Huangming, Dongguan Bodang will not forget the original intention and keep the mission in mind! If there is a war, it will be recalled! ”

He Zhen's eyes were hot, he pinched the letter in his hand, silently glanced at Wu Zhong, Marquis of Jinghai, who congratulated him, and Zhang He, Marquis of Navigation, lowered his head and pinched the letter tightly, pursed his lips and said softly: "The emperor and grandson can rest assured......"

"My generation is a good son of the Han family, and I will never forget the death of the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties."

"If there is a war, the recall will be returned!"
