Life is more than a feather and a country, and death is left with blood to support the sky.

For the last glimmer of hope to regain his sight, Zhang Huangyan was willing to go to Kunming to take this risk.

Unsuccessful, but spare his life.

If you succeed, all the efforts you have made in the past 20 years are worth it.

Looking at the world, except for Wu Sangui, how can there be any chance of the revival of the Ming Dynasty.

Unwilling to admit it, Zhang Huangyan had to sigh that it was hopeless to restore his homeland by restoring his vision.

If it weren't for the help of the fifth king, on Hanging Island today, he Zhang Cangshui or learned from Lu Gong Hideo who jumped into the sea and died in the country, or was killed by the Qing soldiers.

The country is good, and if it is not fishy, it will also be reduced.

Everyone was silent, knowing that they could not persuade Master Shangshu, but they all knew that this trip must be very dangerous.

Luo Zimu and Xu Yuangeng got up almost at the same time and bowed to Lord Shangshu: "The two of us are willing to go to Kunming with the superintendent." ”

This is the will of sacrifice, and I would rather die than follow Lord Shangshu.

Zhang Huang refused to allow it, and asked the general soldier Guo Faguang to lead the rest of the island to Taiwan to temporarily attach themselves to the Zheng clan.

After a pause, he also said that if there are soldiers and civilians who are unwilling to go to Taiwan, they can be asked to shave their hair and return to their hometowns for the future.

The Qing army in Zhejiang did not torture and kill the returnees of the Ming army, as long as they shaved their hair and went ashore, they would be sent to the soldiers to be sent to their hometowns for "residential surveillance".

Although there is no personal freedom, and you have to report ten miles out of the township, your life is not in danger, and land, seeds, and farm tools are distributed as usual, and those who have no house are also ordered to help solve the problem.

This is the recruitment system set by Zhao Tingchen, the governor of Zhejiang, and it must be strictly implemented in all localities.

This system has greatly helped the Ming army to recruit and appease the Ming army in the past two years, and the generals under the command of the Zheng family, Ruan Mei, the governor Zheng Yin, and the squire Cai Changdeng, were inspired to go ashore to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

The officers and men of the unit have also been properly resettled by the Zhejiang side.

Chen Dong, the rebel general who was killed yesterday, also felt that he could get preferential treatment after surrendering, so he led his troops to shave their hair and reduce their hair.

It can be said that Zhao Tingchen's "preferential treatment" policy directly destroyed Zhang Huangyan's department, and finally forced Zhang Huangyan to disperse the righteous army and hide on an isolated island, capture it in disguise for the attack team, and be killed in Hangzhou.

"If the Ming family can be restored, everyone will still have a day of reunion, if it can't be restored, be a cultivator, marry a wife and have children for the rest of his life, and his parents will be filial piety. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and if you can't be loyal, you should be filial. ”

After that, Zhang Huangyan looked at Yang Guanyu, the servant who had followed him for seven or eight years, and asked him to pack up his things and go back to his hometown in Ningbo, so that he didn't have to follow him anymore.

After hearing this, Yang Guanyu said: "Guanyu ran around the sea with Lord Shangshu at the age of seven, never forgetting the righteousness of the country because of his youth, and he did not regret even if he died. Today, Shangshu went to Kunming for the country, and died of loyalty in trouble; I follow the book, and if I die, I will die in righteousness. How could Shang Shu bear to ask Guanyu to be the unrighteous person? ”

Wang Wu was moved when he heard this.

If I am not mistaken, when Zhang Huangyan was about to be sentenced, the prison officer saw that Yang Guanyu was young and had the heart to exonerate him.

Yang Guanyu categorically refused, and knelt in front of Zhang Huangyan to be tortured.

In this way, the righteousness of the master and servant is fulfilled, and the righteousness of the family and the country is fulfilled.

is a young hero like Xia Yunyi.

Yang Guanyu's eyes were firm and Zhang Huangyan nodded slightly, and then looked at Luo Zimu and Xu Yuangeng and ordered: "I have taken Yue Fei and Yu Qian as examples in my life, if I am killed in Kunming on this trip, you two can try to buy back my head and bury it at the foot of Lychee Peak at the northern foot of Nanping Mountain in Hangzhou, so as to fulfill my long-cherished wish in my life." ”

In other words, the first level is all that is needed.

Kunming is thousands of miles away from Zhejiang, and it is inconvenient to transport corpses.

Luo and Xu couldn't help choking, knowing that it was difficult to persuade Lord Shangshu to give up going to Kunming.

Xu Yuangeng cried: "Mrs. and Son-in-law have been imprisoned for more than ten years, if something happens to Shangshu, we will try to rescue Mrs. and Son, so that Master Shangshu will not have no queen." ”

Zhang Huangyan was silent for a long time.

Wang Wu was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't know that Zhang Huangyan actually had a wife and children in the hands of the Qing army, so he asked Luo Zimu about it in a low voice.

Luo told Shang Shu that fifteen years ago, Shang Shu's wife Dong and only son Zhang Wanqi were captured by the Qing army, and the Qing army had been using his wife and son in prison to force Shang Shu to surrender, but Shang Shu was never moved.

Later, considering that Shangshu had no people to take care of, his subordinates Zhang Luo took a concubine for him, but Zhang Huangyan refused, saying that his wife was in prison, and I would never fail him.

Wang Wu couldn't help but sigh after knowing it, and he had to find a way to rescue Zhang Huangyan's wife and son.

Zhang Huangyan raised his head and said to everyone: "The death of the country cannot be reported, the death of the father cannot be buried, the wife cannot be saved, the recent events, only seek a glimmer of opportunity, if the sky is absolutely unavailable to me Zhang Cangshui, but ask for a quick death." ”

After saying that, he ordered the people to prepare at once and do as he said.

Guo Faguang refused to lead the crowd to Taiwan, bluntly saying that King Yanping had no desire to recover, and if he went to Taiwan, he would not be able to live with the martyred Dingxi Hou, and secondly, he would not be able to resist the persistence for so many years.

"Yes, even if I die, I won't go to Taiwan to suffer from his Zheng family!"

The general Wei Dalong was also indignant, and asked Lord Shangshu to take him to Kunming with him.

It's a big deal to die, what is there to be afraid of.

Seeing this, the generals bowed down one after another, begging Lord Shangshu not to leave them.

"This trip is full of dangers, you need to pass through several provinces along the way, and the slightest mistake will fall short, how can there be many people."

Zhang Huangyan did not agree with everyone to go to Kunming with him, first, because he was worried that he would be discovered by the Qing army on the road, and second, there was really no need for everyone to take this risk with him.

Between the stalemate, Wang Wu put forward his own meaning.

It is hoped that the generals of the Ming army, who are unwilling to go to Taiwan and return to their hometowns, can return to Jingzhou with him, and tell him that he is building a water camp in Jingzhou but lacks water war talents.

The implication is that he hopes that Guo Zongbing and others will help him build a sufficiently elite naval division in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

In this way, the generals can be properly placed, and it can also help in the future.

Zhang Huangyan didn't want to be Guo Faguang's master, because he had to shave his hair when he went to Jingzhou, so he asked Guo what he meant.

Guo Faguang, Wei Dalong and the others were all embarrassed after hearing this, they didn't want to shave their hair, and they didn't want to leave Master Shangshu.

At this time, Hedong Junliu said to everyone: "When the deceased husband was there, he said that the key places in the world must be fought for, but there are four, one is Jianghuai, two is Jiangnan, three is the Central Plains, and four is Jingxiang. The Central Plains is fundamentally in Jiangnan, and Jiangnan is fundamentally in Jingxiang"

What Liu said was Qian Qianyi's strategy of "three bureaus" for the Ming army, and the most important part of this strategy was to restore Jingxiang, because here the Han Dynasty was choked, Wuchang was shaken, and the south of the river was between the fingers.

Not only can you seize the important wealth of the south of the Yangtze River along the river, but you can also go north and go straight to the Central Plains, which has always been a place where soldiers must fight.

Now Jingzhou is in the hands of Wang Wu, who is in the Qing camp and has a clear heart, and if you want to maximize the strategic value of Jingzhou, it is necessary to have a strong sailor.

Therefore, Guo Faguang and others went to Kunming with Zhang Shangshu, or went to Taiwan, or even shaved their hair and lowered their hair, so it was better to go to Jingzhou with Wang Wu to build a water division, so as to really contribute to the restoration of vision.

It is simply helpless to sacrifice the situation in vain.

After hearing this, Zhang Huangyan agreed very much, and after discussing with Guo Faguang and others, he finally went to Jingzhou to secretly accumulate strength for the future.

He only took Yang Guanyu and two or three retinues to Kunming dressed as Taoists.

He asked Hedongjun's mother and daughter where they planned to go.

Liu Ru was reluctant to go to Taiwan because she was unfamiliar with the place.

Changshu Qian's family can't go, and now Zhang Shangshu can no longer insist on the sea here, so Liu Ru plans to take her daughter to the Jiaxing brothers.

After hearing this, Zhang Huangyan also felt that there was no good way, after all, he was unable to take care of Hedongjun's mother and daughter.

Wang Wu hesitated here, but got up and said to Liu Rus: "Hedong Jun is a scholar of Wenzong, a famous contemporary heroine, and the widow of the old Zongbo, if Hedong Jun is willing to live in Jingzhou temporarily, he should be able to help Yaowu." ”
