Chapter 19 Ming Xiu Plank Road, Darkly Crossing Chencang

"The two dukes must be at ease." Zhu Yihai said lightly, "How to resettle Wu Zheng and his subordinates, Gu thought he had to ask what he meant. Fortunately, he was not far from the dock by the river, so Gu sent someone to call him to come and let him reply in public. How about it?"

Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren looked at each other and bowed and replied, "I will listen to the prisoner."

Zhu Yihai turned his head slightly and said, "Chief Qian thought it was appropriate to send who to the riverside to summon him?"

Qian Sule then understood what Zhu Yihai meant, so he said, "Everyone in the hall can pass on orders for His Highness."

As he said that, he turned around and said to the ministers: "Who is willing to send an order to the riverside?"

After all, all the officials present insisted on their noble status.

If the riverside is a third or fourth-rank official, then it’s nothing to go by yourself, and you won’t lose all your money.

But the riverside is just an unknown seventh-rank whistleman. If you don’t know how to travel this trip, you will lose your share, right?

Although Fang Guoan and Wang Zhirengui wanted to recruit Wu Zheng, he was the Duke of the State, so it was even more impossible for him to be unable to let go of his figure.

Therefore, Qian Sule asked three times in a row, but no one answered.

Qian Sule glanced at Zhang Huangyan and blinked slowly.

Zhang Huangyan had already understood the truth, so he went out and said, "Your Highness, I am willing to go."

When the ministers heard the news, even Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren nodded slightly.

Indeed, Zhang Huangyan's identity is very suitable. He is an editor of the seventh-rank Hanlin Academy and a military officer. His official rank is slightly higher than that of Wu Zheng. This not only shows the court's emphasis on favorable treatment, but does not seem abrupt.

Furthermore, the responsibility of the military department is to supervise the Ministry of War, and to pick up officials of the IRF Department, which is more in line with this mission.

Seeing that no one objected, the Lu Jianguo pointed out that he agreed.

So, Zhang Huangyan was ordered to follow Liao Zhongping to the dock.

....

By the way, Wu Zheng was having a lot of fun chatting with Zhao Shizheng at this time.

It means that we don’t know each other without fighting, and we hate that we know each other too late.

At this time, when Liao Zhongping came with a civil servant, he consciously stood up and stood up with his hands solemnly.

Liao Zhongping approached and pointed at Zhang Huangyan and said to Wu Zheng: "This is an editor of the Hanlin Academy, and the military department's director Zhang Huangyan and Lord Zhang."

When Wu Zheng heard this, his head buzzed.

He is not a historical professional, and he is not very familiar with famous figures in the late Ming Dynasty.

But as a Shaoxing native, he is familiar with Zhang Huangyan. There are few people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who do not know Zhang Huangyan.

It can be said that Zhang Huangyan runs through the entire history of the Southern Ming Dynasty's anti-Qing Dynasty.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Huangyan passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination.

At that time, the peasant uprising led by Li Zicheng had burned all over the country, and the rule of the Ming Dynasty was in danger.

Therefore, the court began to pay attention to cultivating talents who were both civil and military. Although Zhang Huangyan took the exam for literature, he still had to try some military subjects that were urgently needed in war.

During the exam, the court ordered the candidates to test riding and shooting with urgent military affairs, but Zhang Huangyan hit all three shots, which surprised those present. In addition, he was usually concerned about the current situation and was generous in discussing military affairs, so the people around him respected him more.

After the fall of the Hongguang Dynasty, the Qing army marched south in large numbers. Some civil and military officials of Ningbo Prefecture fled in panic, while others planned to surrender in the city.

Zhang Huangyan, who was twenty-six years old, stepped forward and joined the army. He led all living beings to gather at the Chenghuang Temple with Qian Sule, the Minister of Justice at that time, and advocated serving the king and gathering teachers to promote righteousness.

He also submitted a letter to Tiantai to invite King Zhu Yihai of Lu to the north to supervise the country, and began his life in anti-Qing.

Until September 7, 1664, he was executed generously in Bijiaofang, Hangzhou.

Historical books evaluated that Huang Yan died while Ming died!

The people of Jiangnan even ranked Zhang Huangyan with Yue Fei and Yu Qian, and were called the Three Heroes of West Lake.

Even his enemy, the Qing court, posthumously named Zhang Huangyan Zhonglie, was worshipped in the Zhongyi Temple, included in the "Records of the Ministers of the Imperial Court of Victory" and ordered the History Museum to write a biography for him.

Looking at the tall and beautiful young civil servant in front of him, he was actually a hero of the anti-Qing nation praised by everyone in later generations. Wu Zheng was stunned and even forgot to salute.

It was after Zhao Shi bowed to Liao Zhongping and Zhang Huangyan, and found out that Wu Zheng was abnormal and secretly poked Wu Zheng's waist, which made Wu Zheng come back to his senses.

"Wu Zheng has met Lord Liao and Lord Zhang."

Zhang Huangyan was also looking at Wu Zheng. He knew his mission.

It’s not that Wu Zheng is really important to the court, but that Wu Zheng is a pawn that Zhu Yihai curbed Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren’s arrogance at this time.

Zhang Huangyan came here to see Wu Zheng's character.

This is related to the subsequent Tingzheng.

If Wu Zheng was unable to make a living, it would be better to give up as soon as possible.

Wu Zheng became a little tightened when Zhang Huangyan looked at him.

Looking at Wu Zheng's crampage, Zhang Huangyan felt funny and felt a little fond of affection.

"Is Wu Shuai Guan from Shaoxing?"

"I am a native of Shining Town, Shangyu County."

"How many years have you been in the army?"

"It's been three years."

"Can you read a book?"

"A young man who is a thirteen-year-old student."

"Oh?" Zhang Huangyan was a little surprised. It was not easy to win the exam. There were only twenty places in a county. If you want to enter, you would need to enter the 20 people. Some of them were awarded or some encountered an unexpected situation before they could advance.

The atmosphere at this time is extremely important to emphasize literature over military affairs. It is extremely rare for a scholar to join the army.

Just like Zhao Shi, a hundred households of the sixth rank, wanted to salute Zhang Huangyan, a seventh rank.

Civil officials of the same rank are all more powerful than military officials.

Of course, this is also the reason why Zhang Huangyan was a military officer.

After all, he is a censor, and he is a higher level of official position.

"Why did you join the army? Haven't your elders stopped you?"

Wu Zheng was a little embarrassed and replied: "I admire Qi Shaobao since I was a child. It just so happened that my uncle was the general of Jiading. Three years ago, I ran out secretly."

Zhang Huangyan suddenly realized that the people of the southeast coast highly praised Qi Jiguang, especially the young man with strong spirits. If he thought about this, it would be no surprise that Wu Zheng would join the army.

This made Zhang Huangyan feel closer to Wu Zheng, because he had thought so himself.

Zhang Huangyan smiled and said, "I heard that you killed more than fifty Qing troops in the official road north of Jiaxing Prefecture, and another hundred Qing troops in the Jinshan Guard?" Wu Zheng turned around and pointed behind him and said, "It was all soldiers who killed him. Bei Zhi was carrying arrows. On the official road of Jiaxing Prefecture, Bei Zhi didn't even pull out his sword. In the battle at the Jinshan Guard Wharf, he killed a hundred Qing troops."

Zhang Huangyan smiled even more, "What are the plans for Wu Shuaiguan to return home this time? Should he go home and study hard again, or continue to serve the court?"

Wu Zheng's face became serious and replied: "Minister uncle sacrificed his life for the country at the east gate of Jiading City, but his nephew lived in vain. When he woke up from Wuzheng, he made a vow that he would lead his troops to recover Jiading and welcome his uncle's bones back to his hometown. In public and private, Wuzheng would be incompatible with the Tartars in this life."

Zhang Huangyan's face became solemn when he heard this, "With this ambition, it's great good! Now the court is working on people. As long as you do your best to serve the country, you will be able to achieve your wish."
