Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong came and went, and there was also a fool who stirred up a hornet's nest, and the Qing army's counterattack on Guangzhou was greatly advanced. Although the reinforcements dispatched by Kangxi from the northern provinces were almost here. However, these reinforcements have not yet adapted to the conditions and conditions of Guangdong, and are tired from the journey, so their condition is not very good. Therefore, logically speaking, they should not send troops immediately.
But the troops that shouldn't be sent are about to come out... When the news of Zhu Heji sending troops to fight Xinhui reaches the Qing camp, they will send out troops in large numbers.
But Zhu Heji knew nothing about it.
The two secret service agencies under him, the Jinyiwei North Town Fusi and the Military Advisor's Office Yousi, are only in a fledgling state and are not that powerful. However, these Zhu family spies were not incompetent, just when Zhu Heji was busy educating generals, training troops, taking exams, and promoting Yuan Confucian ideas. The Fusi of Jinyiweibei Town, who was supported by the Dongchang Supervisor Eunuch Pang with the help of the Zhu family and his son, made a great contribution by recruiting a big local tycoon from Xinhui County, which was occupied by Shang Zhixin, on behalf of the Zhu family and his son - Xinhui County. Mr. Huang Zhisheng and Mr. Huang Si from Du Ruandu are the same Huang Shiren who ranked eighth in the Jinke Examination. He still ranked eighth in the just-concluded imperial examination!
Huang Shiren is the pseudonym Zhu Heji gave him... Generations of benevolence and righteousness, what a good name! He sounds like a great virtuous person!
At this moment, Zhu Heji was summoning Mr. Huang Si in the third hall of Jianguo Mansion together with his father Zhu Tianwang.
Although Mr. Huang Si is an old man, he is not old. He is not yet thirty years old. He is wearing a Qing Dynasty-style white cloth gown, with a bare head and no hat, and a slender braid hanging on the back of his head. Judging from his appearance, he is extremely upright, with thick and long eyebrows, piercing eyes, a big mouth that eats all directions, and an upright face with Chinese characters. Coupled with a beard, he looks very majestic. He is a great old man.
However, the reason why he is called a master at such a young age is not because he looks "very master", but because he is a real official!
He was a Jinshi in the Gengxu Section in the ninth year of Kangxi, the same year as the famous Li Guangdi. However, Li Guangdi did well in the exam and ranked second in the second grade of high school. After winning, he chose Shujishi. And he didn't do very well in the exam. He was just a fellow Jinshi and was awarded the title of alternate county magistrate... which is actually not bad, but he was unlucky and hadn't yet had his turn. His adoptive father was also his relative. My uncle died of illness.
So he went back to his hometown of Xinhui, Ding You, to observe his filial piety. As a result, within two years of being a dutiful son, the world in Guangdong changed. The Ming Dynasty, which he had been dreaming about for twenty years, came back!
However, what made him a little disappointed was that the Great Tomorrow Soldiers failed to enter the new meeting. They captured the ten counties below Guangzhou Prefecture and captured all the territory surrounding Xinhui County, but missed Xinhui.
This is a bit disrespectful to the newcomers...
Just when Mr. Huang Zhisheng and Mr. Huang Si were looking north to see Master Wang and were getting a little impatient with the wait, someone came from Guangzhou with an autographed letter from his great-uncle Huang Gongfu.
His uncle Huang Gongfu was very powerful. He was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli! During the Chongzhen Dynasty, he had already served as the Chief Secretary of Huguang to consult, Huguang to participate in politics, and Baoqing to defend the way. In the 16th year of Chongzhen, he retired and returned to his hometown because of old age (67 years old).
As a result, the Ming Dynasty was almost gone, and all the Qing soldiers were sent to Guangdong.
So Mr. Huang took action, and together with Wang Xing from Xinning County next door, they launched an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty. He also served as a high-ranking official like the Left Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice for Emperor Yongli!
Later, he was sent to Sanshui County to fight against the Qing Dynasty by Emperor Yongli. He did not fight against the Qing soldiers, and he failed to catch up with Yongli who ran away, so he followed the Tang King Zhu Yu'e, the Governor Wang Xing, and the Governor of Dongchang Pang Sizhong. He ran to Wencun in Xinning County... Zhu Heji was not born that year, and King Zhu Tian also went to Wencun with them!
Later, King Zhu Tian led Zhu Heji and Eunuch Pang to open a base in Danan Mountain by sea, but Zhu Yue, Wang Xing, and Huang Gongfu were defeated and martyred in Wen Village!
However, although Huang Gongfu died for his country, the Du Ruan and Huang family are still the famous ancestors of Xinhui County! Huang Zhisheng, the new patriarch of the Du Ruan Huang family and the grandnephew of Huang Gongfu, was even more proud of his achievements in the examination room. He was awarded the imperial examination at the age of eighteen and the Jinshi in his twenties. Became the leader of the new generation of new monks!
Precisely because of the power of the Huang family in Xinhui and Huang Zhisheng's status in the community of Xinhui scholars, Eunuch Pang, who came to Guangzhou from Chaozhou, immediately thought of wooing Huang Zhisheng to be used by the Ming Dynasty. So he sent his young father-in-law Pang Siming to Du Ruandu in Xinhui with the autograph letter Huang Gongfu wrote to him, hoping to summon Huang Zhisheng to meet him in Guangzhou.
However, Mr. Huang Zhisheng did not go to see Eunuch Pang immediately after he came to Guangzhou. Instead, he took the imperial examination and took the eighth place in high school... The eighth place is extremely valuable. !
Because the first to seventh places in this session's joint examination and palace examination are all "internally determined", Huang Zhisheng is actually the real number one!
And Mr. Huang, who ranked eighth and ranked first in literary talent, was crying while accusing the Qing army of cannibalism on behalf of the people of Xinhui.
"...Actually, we Xinhui people are really miserable! As soon as Wu Jinzhong, the commander-in-chief sent by Shang Laothief, and general Yunlong arrived, they immediately occupied the houses and took the money raised by the Xinhui County magistrate for them. Grain and rice were hoarded and not eaten. Daily supplies and needs were taken from the people. The people of Xinhui had no choice but to lose everything and try their best to supply military supplies. They were still not satisfied. The women in Yule City were taken hostage to collect gold and silk. Those who could not do it were all captured. . Later, King Li Jin's troops besieged the city for half a year. There was no food in the city. All the Jian barbarians killed people for food, and nearly half of the people who killed the food died of hunger. There was chaos and chaos in the city, and there was no such tragedy.
As for the people of Xinhui supporting Jianyi, resisting the Jin king's heavenly soldiers, and even killing their wives and concubines for their food, it is pure nonsense. Investigating its origin, it is just that after the Xinhui War, Li Shutai distributed chastity memorials indiscriminately to appease people's hearts.
The reason why King Li Jin failed to capture Xinhui was that his original army was too small, with only more than a thousand men, more than 200 horses and two elephants. The rest are all volunteers led by the King of Tang, the Governor-General Wang, and my uncle Chun Pu Gong..."
Huang Zhisheng spoke eloquently, and when he talked about the sad part, he burst into tears, and it looked like it was true.
Zhu Heji looked back at his father, King Zhu Tian, and found that King Zhu Tian was stroking his beard and sighing, so he asked: "Abba, did you also participate in the Battle of Xinhui? What was the situation like at that time?"
King Zhu Tian sighed again and shed tears, "Of course...your mother and your two brothers are still here back then! If Xinhui is captured, King Li Jin may take Guangdong by storm! You Your two brothers and your mother would not have died so early!"
King Zhu Tian didn't answer the question, and eunuch Pang on the other side took the question and said: "I also went to Xinhui that year, and I was considered one of King Li Jin's 'two hundred thousand troops', right? But King Li Jin's headquarters There are indeed not many people and horses... In fact, there were not many people and horses in Guangdong back then. Shang Kangxi and Geng Jimao together had 20,000 people. King Li Jin's headquarters plus Governor Wang's capable people, the total was not To five thousand, it can’t be compared with the fifty thousand elite soldiers that the refugees (we) have now!”
When Huang Zhisheng heard that the Ming Dynasty already had 50,000 heavenly soldiers, he seemed even more confused and blurted out: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, since there are already 50,000 heavenly soldiers, why do you still keep Shang Zhixin alive?"
As soon as this question came out of his mouth, he felt that something was wrong, and looked at Zhu Tianwang and Zhu Heji timidly.
King Zhu Tian paid no attention to him and seemed to be still reminiscing about the glorious past.
Zhu Heji smiled and asked, "Huang Qing is the candidate magistrate of the Jianyi court, right?"
"This..." Mr. Huang Zhisheng and Mr. Huang Si suddenly felt a little guilty, "I am in the camp and my mind is clear!"
"Okay, okay." Zhu Heji smiled and nodded, "What I want is someone like you... Eunuch Pang, right?"
"Yes! Yes!" Eunuch Pang nodded repeatedly, "Nephew Huang Xian, what we want is a good person like you who is in the Cao camp and has a heart in the Han Dynasty!"
What's the meaning?
Huang Zhisheng's hair stood up when he heard what the old eunuch said... Could this be asking him to join Dongchang?
At this time, Zhu Heji finally revealed the answer to the mystery. He smiled and said to Huang Zhisheng: "Huang Qing has been in Jianyi Camp for a long time and must be familiar with the situation there. Why don't you send this living treasure of Shang Zhixin to Xuan Ye in Beijing for the Gu family?" ...If Xuan Ye gets this thief, he will definitely reward you well. You can try to stay with Xuan Ye as an official, and it is best to enter the Hanlin Academy. Someone will naturally contact you then!"
