Ninghai County, Zhoushan, Zhejiang.

Last year, the king of Donglu was in Kinmen, and Zhang Huangyan, the secretary of the military department who could not get the support of the Zheng family, was distressed, so he had to lead the remnants of more than 4,000 people to fight in the area of Ninghai County to continue to resist the Qing Dynasty.

Most of Zhoushan has been captured by the Qing army, and there is not much area for the Ming army to operate.

In order to cut off the supply of the Ming army, the Qing army not only strictly fortified Zhoushan, but also implemented a sea relocation order for 800 miles along the coast, making it impossible for the Ming army to obtain food from the land, and Zhang Huangyan's department was in an even more difficult situation.

At the beginning of the year, Zhao Tingchen, the governor of Zhejiang in the Qing Dynasty, knew that King Minglu had died, and after the Zheng group entrenched in Jinxia gave up Jinxia and crossed east to Taiwan, he thought that Mingzuo had been officially severed, so he wrote a letter to send people to cross the sea to recruit Zhang Huangyan.

Zhao Tingchen is the same age as Zhang Huangyan, a native of Tieling, Liaodong, and was born in the Han Army with a yellow flag.

In the second year of Shunzhi, Gongsheng awarded the magistrate of Shanyang County, Jiangnan, as an official and upright, advocating farming, living with the people's livelihood, punishing corrupt officials, and having the name of "Zhao Buddha" in Jiangnan, and winning the love of the gentry and the people.

In the letter, he said that as long as Zhang Huangyan led his troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing court would not hesitate to reward the princes, and the officers and soldiers who followed Zhang Huangyan would also be resettled, and no past crimes would be counted.

It was even said that Zhang Huangyan would lead Hangzhou civil and military personnel to the beach to greet him as long as he was willing to surrender.

Sincerity is not enough.

"I am a writer, Jiashen national disaster, can't bear China everywhere Hu Ji abandoned the pen from Rong, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has been repeatedly defeated and fought again and again, the building will fall, and the wood is still in danger, what to do is only the word faith, how can it be because of personal life and death and put faith in the back of your mind.

Today's homeland is not a country, there is no home, the world is big, where is there a place for my Han people, life is a minister, death is a ghost, the Ming Dynasty has been three hundred years old, there should always be a few brave men. ”

Zhang Huangyan replied and refused to surrender, and Zhao Tingchen ordered the sailors to launch an encirclement and suppression of Zhang's department.

After several battles with the Qing army's naval division, the Ming army lost more than half of its soldiers, less than 2,000 people, and because it could not gain a foothold in Ninghai, some generals proposed to pull the team to Jilong Island and station.

Zhang Huangyan thought that this proposal was not feasible, the chicken coop island, surrounded by the sea, easy to attack and difficult to defend, if it was attacked by the Qing army, there was a danger of annihilation.

Then he brought the team to the vicinity of Linmen.

However, the morale of the army is sluggish, and the upper and lower levels are confused and do not know what to do.

The Ming Chamber is extinct, and there is no point in continuing to fight.

Therefore, some people proposed to go to Taiwan to join forces with the Zheng clan in order to save their clothes.

Some people also believe that in order to save the lives of officers and soldiers, it is necessary to shave their hair and reduce their hair.

During the dispute, some people left Linmen one after another to surrender to the Qing army.

Zhang Huangyan didn't stop it, because his heart was also desperate.

I really don't see the slightest hope of regaining my sight.

Every day, in addition to being supported by the young attaché Yang Guanyu to the seaside and overlooking the mainland, he locked himself in the house to write the lives of the generals who resisted the Qing Dynasty and martyred the country over the years, thinking that future generations will remember them forever.

At this time, the situation can be said to be the general trend has gone, and it cannot be done.

The rest of the people know that they can't do it, but they are loyal and righteous in their hearts, regard death as home, and sacrifice their lives for righteousness.

Today is the Cold Food Festival, Zhang Huangyan and everyone set up an altar on the island to worship the soldiers who have resisted the Qing Dynasty for many years, recalling that Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of the same Dingxi, entered the Yangtze River three times, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

In that year, he entered the Yangtze River three times and returned in vain due to the weakness of his troops.

Later, the Qing soldiers slaughtered the city in Zhoushan, and Xuan and Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, together with the general Gan Hui and others, recovered Zhoushan.

Zhang Mingzhen entered the city and searched for his mother's corpse, but he had no choice but to mourn the three armies.

At the end of the year, Zhang Mingzhen died suddenly, and before his death, he said: "I have not reported the kindness of my mother, and if my mother's body is not obtained, I will not accept my remains." ”

With that, resentment propped himself up and slammed his head into the bed and died.

Dead is not blind, still dignified and alive.

"I'm sorry for Dingxi."

Zhang Huangyan's eyes were full of tears, Zhang Mingzhen's last words could not find his mother's body, so his body was not buried, but he did not follow Zhang Mingzhen's last words, so that his body was buried in Nanao Village, Goushan, Putuo, and constantly sent people to find his mother's body.

But on the day of the Zhoushan Massacre of the Qing Army, tens of thousands of dead people were piled up, and there were only six survivors, so where could they be found.

It was intended that the remains of Dingxi would be moved to Purple Mountain, but this was obviously not possible.

In addition to being sad, I can't help but feel a little resentful about the national surname that has passed away.

In order to cooperate with the Zheng army, he invited him to be the vanguard, and led more than 3,000 soldiers from the headquarters to get off the ship and pull the cable day and night in the reeds on both sides of the strait, and arrived at the Guanyin Gate in Nanjing eight days in advance.

He did not want to be arrogant and did not accept Zhang Huangyan and Gan Hui's suggestion to take the land route, and still marched by sea from the waterway, resulting in Zhang Huangyan being isolated under the city of Nanjing, and was intercepted by the Qing army with more than 100 fast boats on the Xinhe River, and Zhang's troops were frustrated. Fortunately, the Qing army knew that Zheng Chenggong's army was behind, so they did not dare to pursue, and Zhang was able to be saved.

Because he could not wait for the army with the surname of the country, Zhang Huangyan gathered his troops and ships to cruise in the river near Nanjing, and sent a large number of envoys to recruit neighboring states and counties.

Zhang Bu stopped the boat in Pukou, Jiangbei, more than 100 Qing cavalry in Pukou City did not dare to defend the city, but escaped from the north gate, Zhang Huangyan's seven soldiers entered the city from the south gate, Pukou was recovered.

When the army with the surname finally arrived at the city of Nanjing, there was news that the gentry in Wuhu and other places had surrendered and surrendered.

Guo thought that the collection of upstream counties could not only recover the lost territory, assert the prestige of the army, but also intercept the Qing army that came to help along the river in Huguang, Jiangxi and other places, so he asked Zhang Huangyan to lead the boat division to the west and be responsible for attacking Nanjing.

Zhang Huangyan did not shirk and led his troops to Wuhu, when the troops were less than 1,000, the ships were less than 100, fortunately, Zhao Zhen, the guard of Wuhu Lake, led his troops to rescue Nanjing, there were no Qing soldiers stationed in Wuhu City, and the local gentry all surrendered, so Zhang had to go ashore.

Subsequently, Zhang Huangyan issued a proclamation in the name of the country to inform the prefecture and county, and officials and gentry in the four prefectures of Taiping, Ningguo, Chizhou, and Huizhou sent officials and gentry to ask for surrender.

In just one month, it recruited 42 counties in three prefectures and 42 counties in Kefu, and had to surrender to the Qing army and local gentry to participate in the volunteers, and the number of soldiers expanded to more than 10,000 land and water soldiers.

In addition to Anqing, the upper reaches basically fell into the hands of the Ming army, and the downstream banks of the south of the Yangtze River were even more descended.

A good situation, as long as Nanjing, the southeast half of the wall can be recovered!

How could he have wanted to carelessly underestimate the enemy's national surname in Nanjing, but he was defeated by the Qing general's plan to delay the army, and then the whole army retreated without notifying Zhang Huangyan!

Zhang Huangyan, who heard the news, was very anxious, and as soon as the army with the surname of the country retreated, he alone could not stop the Qing army with more than 10,000 troops.

Wuhu, Chizhou, Ningguo, and Taiping have most of the county seats in the Ming Dynasty, and countless gentry of the restored Ming Dynasty risked their heads to support the Ming army.

Thinking of this, Zhang Huangyan sent someone to pretend to be a monk with a handwritten letter to find the national surname and camp, and the national surname should not be withdrawn no matter what.

Although Nanjing was defeated, the Qing army was still on the defensive, and the important towns on both sides of the Yangtze River were still in the hands of the Ming army.

As long as the country reorganizes the army and fights again, big things can still be done.

Even if the surname of the country is really leaving, please also ask the surname of the country to send him a hundred big ships, so that he can hold on to the upper reaches of Nanjing.

"Victory and defeat are commonplace, and they are no different. Today, the people are in the heart, and the counties and towns in the upper reaches are guarded by me, if I can benefit from hundreds of ships to help, the world can still be done. If you give it up, what is it like a million living beings? ”

What Zhang Huang said in his letter could not be said to be without weeping, and it also pointed out that the situation had not collapsed, but the national surname was indifferent, regardless of withdrawing from the Yangtze River.

So that the Qing army in Nanjing was a little incredible.

In desperation, Zhang Huangyan had no choice but to break through.

The Qing army was very strict along the way, forcing him to abscond in disguise, if it were not for the people on the road who hid him in his home, he would have been captured by the Qing army.

On the way, he was even more ill with malaria and almost died.

After going through thousands of difficulties and dangers, he made a detour and sneaked for more than 2,000 miles, and only returned to the coast of Zhejiang after nine deaths.

But he never gave up the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty, and continued to collect the old department in order to make a comeback.

Knowing that Zhang Huangyan was alive, the national surname was ashamed, so he allocated thousands of soldiers and horses under his command to Zhang Huangyan, so that the righteous army was slightly stronger.

However, after that, the surname of the country did not join forces with Zhang Huangyan, and even rejected his wise suggestion to support King Lu to call on the world, until he died of illness in Taiwan.

Zheng Jing, the son of the national surname, even cut off the Zonglu of King Lu, and had no attempt to restore his sight.

The Qing court also mobilized a large army to encircle and suppress the Thirteen Families in Kuidong, looking at China, where is it possible to restore sight.

Today, Hanshi convened the officers and soldiers to set up an altar, and Zhang Huangyan wanted to announce a major event, that is, to disband the department, and never mention the anti-Qing Dynasty again, and he died on an isolated island.

Before that, he handed over a poem he wrote to the ministry general Guo Faguang.

Guo Faguang read it out in public.

"What is the desire for the country to be ruined? There is my division at the head of Xizi Lake.

The sun and the moon are hung in the tomb, and half of the ancestral hall of the Yue family is in the Qiankun.

He was ashamed to divide his bare hands into three seats, intending to borrow a branch for Danxin.

He is a car in the east of Zhejiang Road, and the angry waves must belong to the Ouyi. ”

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but cry.

This poem is a masterpiece.

"Where can I go when the country is ruined and the family is ruined?"

After calming down, Zhang Huangyan said to everyone: "I respect Yue Fei and Yu Qian the most in my life, if I am unfortunately martyred, I can bury my remains at the foot of Lychee Peak at the northern foot of Nanping Mountain in Hangzhou." ”

After speaking, he took out the silver seal of the "Sight Division and Military Department" and nine customs defenses awarded by Emperor Yongli, and asked everyone to leave.

"How can the overseer bear to tell me to leave!"

In an instant, the officers and soldiers cried, and they all did not want to go alone, even if they died, they would die with the supervisor.

The sadness of the scene makes the listeners cry and the viewers feel sad.

"You have followed me for many years, I Zhang Huang Yan Ming in my heart, but today's situation is difficult to insist, Ming Zuo has been extinct, and it is meaningless to insist, you all have parents, wives and children, you should not die in vain with me here, and return home to support your parents and raise your children, the right is when I Zhang Huang begged you, if you don't agree, I will kneel!"

After speaking, Zhang Huangyan knelt on the ground.

Resolute and resolute, no one will be allowed to persuade him.

Seeing this, the officers had no choice but to respond with tears.

"Take care, Inspector!"

A soldier fell to the ground, and everyone knelt down, and the sound of wailing was incessant.

Ships large and small were ready, just waiting for everyone to board and leave.

In the distance, there was a small boat riding the wind and waves, and the people on the boat saw Lord Shangshu who was saying goodbye to everyone from a distance, and couldn't help but shake his arms excitedly and shouted: "Supervisor, Mingzuo is not endless, King Han is in charge of the country, King Han is in charge of the country!" ”
