Chapter 107 rush to the dynasty
Guo Zhong, with half of his men, controlled the Red-Fao Yi's large sailboat and sailed on the sea.
This kind of large sailing ship is different from a lucky ship. The lucky ship is a hard bamboo sail and the red-haired Yi is a soft rice. It is not a system. Fortunately, the role of the sail is to use the wind power. The principles are the same. With the help of several indigenous people, Guo Zhong finally drove the ship back to Jintang Island.
Such a Dutch warship entered the Zhoushan Islands, which was indeed quite eye-catching. Not only did the people on Jintang Island startled and ran to the dock to greet them, but even other rebels on the Zhoushan Islands learned the news.
This made Guo Zhong a little worried, but the Zhoushan Islands are far away from the officials and the territory of the Ming army, so it should not be so easy to spread to Hongmaoyi.
On Zhoushan Island, the general's residence, Huang Binqing was handling military affairs. A general entered the hall and saluted on one knee: "Master, I have something to report to you!"
Huang Binqing raised her head, "What's the matter?"
"Master General, the people from Dongtang Island, got a gunship from the Western Barbarians!" The general reported in a deep voice.
Huang Binqing put down his brush and couldn't help but frown, "There is such a thing? Go and find out for me!"
A group of people from Jintang Island followed Zheng Sen. Huang Binqing gave them preferential treatment for Zheng Sen's sake and gave them some food.
After that, Huang Binqing didn't care about this group of people, and let them die on their own like other people who fled to the island. Unexpectedly, these people were quite capable, not only survived, but also grew stronger.
This made Huang Binqing uncomfortable, and at this time, Fujing had an order to come again, saying that His Majesty the Emperor would summon the group of people from Jintang Island to Fujian and entrust them with important tasks. At the same time, Zheng Zhilong's letter was also sent to Zhoushan, asking Huang Binqing to keep everyone from Jintang Island and not let them go to Fujian.
At this time, Zhao Ming returned to Jintang Island under the escort of King Lu's naval master. Huang Binqing immediately chose to implement Zheng Zhilong's request and submitted a memorial to Emperor Longwu, saying that these people had defected to King Lu.
Zhoushan is Huang Binqing's territory, and he was wary of the people on Jintang Island. He was naturally frightened when he heard that they had gotten a Western artillery ship, and he felt a crisis.
...
Zhao Ming and his group manipulated the Fuzhou ship, originally intending to sail to Fuzhou, but the ship was damaged and there were insufficient sailors, so they did not expect to go to Wenzhou at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang.
This made Zhao Ming realize that sailing really requires talent. He and Yan Yingyuanyi decided to drive the ship to Fuzhou, which was not easy. In addition, Yan Yingyuan was seasick, so he decided to leave the ship in Wenzhou.
Wenzhou is the territory of King Lu, and it is safe to keep the ship. Zhao Ming asked someone to watch it and sent someone back to Jintang Island, asking Chen Bi to send someone to pick up the boat, and then visited the Wenzhou prefect and asked him to help find some craftsmen to repair the lucky ship. Finally, he borrowed a donkey and brought some dry food. He traveled through mountains and rivers with Yan Yingyuan and headed to Fujian.
In Fujian, surrounded by mountains, the two crossed mountains and ridges, passed through Daluo Mountain, Feiyun Pass, Yucang Mountain, and passed through Nanyandang Mountain.
Yucang Mountain and Nanyandang Mountain have beautiful scenery, and the journey is not boring. The two of them slept in the open, slept in the wilderness, slept in dilapidated temples, and trekking. The hard journey has cultivated people's perseverance, and the journey has made Zhao Ming's character much more calm.
The rugged mountain road made Zhao Ming feel a little hardworking, but along the way, the two met many pedestrians and all trekked westward.
Some of them were alone, some walked together, and some moved with their families. They worked hard and were in a mess. The Taoist robes and square scarfs of scholars and scholars lost their original color. The originally fair scholar's face was tanned by the sun, their heads were chaotic and greasy, and their clothes and shoes were torn, but they always maintained a hint of spirit in their eyes.
Zhao Ming and Yan Yingyuan met many people along the way. When asked where they were going, most of them would answer one sentence, "I rushed to the court!"
After the Jiashen Kingdom changed, Beijing fell. News came to the south. Many scholars cried bitterly, packed their luggage and headed north to Nanjing, preparing to serve the court.
Chen Bangyan, Chen Zizhuang, Li Yunlong, Shihan Ke and others went north and rushed to the Hongguang court, but they did not expect that the Hongguang court would die quickly.
When the world was confused, the edict of King Zhu Youjian of Tang Dynasty ascended the throne was spread from Fujian to the north, becoming the hope of those who supported the Ming Dynasty and the second Southern Ming regime they were ready to support.
After the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne and became emperor, except for some gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who respected King Lu, most of the others regarded the Longwu Dynasty in Fujian as the main story, and placed the expectation of reviving the Ming Dynasty on Emperor Longwu.
For a time, many scholars who heard that the King of Tang ascended the throne in Fujing went south and crossed mountains and ridges one after another, preparing to serve the court.
Zhao Ming and Yan Yingyuan bought a lot of food rations in Wenzhou, and helped these scholars who rushed to the court. They were moved and remembered the teachers and students who walked from Beijing, Nanjing, and Shanghai, traveled thousands of miles and followed the government to the southwest.
It seems not far from Wenzhou to Fujing, but the road is full of mountain roads. Zhao Ming and his party have been walking for four or five days and have not yet entered Fujian.
However, because I met many scholars on the road, everyone was not lonely when they arrived. But they were walking slowly. These literati would have to express their feelings from time to time and recite poems to show their ambitions, and the speed would be slower.
Early this morning, everyone got up from a ruined temple and prepared to rush forward. A scholar named Zhang Mu in the team stood at the entrance of the temple and looked down at the mountains. He sighed again, "What do you say about the heaven and earth? I dare to pity myself for the safety of this day. The dusk is full of red rivers and the sound of the lonely geese are white and frosty sky. My name is laughing at me. What is the end of my life? It is not necessarily true that I am like a human being. I heard that the good prescriptions are clear and good, and I dare to recruit talents in private rocks and valleys."
Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Good poems, this is not for wealth, but for the sake of serving the country!"
Several other literati also praised them together, and Zhao Ming could only shake his head. He often was not arrogant enough to write poetry, and was out of place with these literati.
At this time, he walked out of the ruined temple and suddenly heard the sound of drums coming from a distance. He hurriedly walked out and looked into the distance and saw a city of Guancheng standing in the mountains, densely packed soldiers practicing in the camp behind Guanzhong.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming hurriedly said, "The Fenshui Pass has arrived!"
Fenshui Pass is located in the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang. The situation is dangerous and is known as the "gateway to Northeast Fujian" and is a must-fight for military strategists.
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the eldest general of Prime Minister Chen Yizhong, the eldest general of the army, Sima Chen Zizhong, once occupied the Fenshui Pass, escorted King Zhao and Zi to Fujian, blocked the Southern Invading Yuan army for more than ten days, and died here in battle.
Fenshui Pass and Xianxia Pass are both gateways to Fujian. Zhao Ming and his group arrived at Fenshui Pass, which means they were about to enter Fujian.
In the dilapidated temple, everyone heard Zhao Ming's words and ignored comments on the poems. They walked out of the dilapidated temple. When they saw the city of Guan, many people cried.
In order to avoid reciting poems, Zhao Ming felt that he was urging everyone to rush to the road. After passing the water gate, he entered Fujian. Everyone rushed to Fujing and walked faster. After five days of traveling through mountains and rivers, they finally arrived.
At the gate of the city, the crowd of people finally arrived in Fujing. Everyone became excited again, and another scholar named Qian Chengzhi chanted excitedly: "I ran thousands of miles south and staggered to the beginning of the palace. The heroic officials in the camp, and the border officials looked at the carriage. Jianwuyuan first changed the imperial edict, and the Chanyuan edict seemed to be empty. I couldn't help crying and I was ashamed to go to Jia Sheng's book. I knocked on the chant and did not believe it. The strange strategy was heard. I met a general who came out of the pass and was still with the army. The people of Wu really wanted the rain, and the Hu cavalry was still connected to the clouds. Don't lean on the dangerous streams and mountains, and live in the end to miss the wise and wise."
Zhao Ming looked frightened and hurriedly bowed his hand and said to Yan Yingyuan: "Well, I'll go to the city first and find someone!"
