Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 21
Ningbo Shipu.

Shipu guerrilla Zhang Mingzhen drank the wine alone, feeling extremely depressed.

Shipu, which he is guarding, is located at the southern end of the Xiangshan Peninsula in Ningbo Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, with Sanmen Bay in the west and Damu Ocean in the east. It is known as an important town on Zheyang Middle Road.

"The general summoned his slaves to come and sing an opera. I don't know which one to order?"

A young woman came in, but it was an actor Zhang Mingzhen had rescued when he was wandering around the world and wandering around the capital. Later, he promised to follow him as a concubine.

"Sing the flag of loyalty!"

"Which discount does the general want to hear?"

Zhang Mingzhen poured himself another glass of wine, "No. 20 [-]% off, Yuehou will die in prison!"

The concubine played the pipa and began to sing.

"It's not free in the end, I hate the traitors in Iraq for their murder. Poor loyalty and righteousness are ordered by the court to give impermanence and nothing else. By the way, the seat of my own prison is just now ordered by the regular official, saying that there is a secret letter written by Prime Minister Qin to ask Master Yue. Exhausted, I will report back at midnight tonight. Sigh, Master Yue is a loyal minister, how could he teach me to do such an unreasonable thing? But the matter has come to this point, there is nothing I can do, "

The concubine grew up in a theater troupe when she was a child in Beijing, but she is an authentic girl from the south of the Yangtze River. She has a soft appearance and a pleasant voice. After following him these years, she usually reads scripts, sings operas and plays the piano, and her skills have improved a lot.

Zhang Mingzhen listened while drinking.

Jingzhong Banner is Zhang Mingzhen's favorite play. It is a script compiled and revised by Feng Menglong, the former magistrate of Shouning County, Fujian Province, based on the manuscripts created by his predecessors.

It is about a tragedy. Yue Fei, the national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty, was murdered by the traitor Qin Hui. Yue Ke was loyal and patriotic after Yue Fei, and determined to reverse the case for his ancestors. The blood destroyed the evidence, which moved the emperor, and ordered to restore the reputation of the Yue family, and Yue Ke followed his ancestors to show filial piety, and his name will remain in history.

During the Ming Dynasty, dramas featuring Yue Fei were extremely popular, especially during the Wanli period, when Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty issued an edict saying that Yue Fei was loyal to the sun, filial piety and heaven, and was specially canonized as the Great Emperor of the Three Realms to Jingmo, pushing him to the altar.

Zhang Mingzhen tapped on the table lightly, and sighed, "The treacherous minister blesses Mr. Zeixin, the weak master forgets his family and the country and divides it!"

When the Great Ming Dynasty was in peril, Zhang Mingzhen felt extremely depressed.

Zhang Mingzhen likes Yue Fei's plays very much. In addition to Jing Zhong Banner, such as Dongchuang Incident in the Yuan Dynasty, there are also Yue Fei's Three Arrows Scaring the Golden Camp created by the Ming people, Yue Fei Breaking the Taihang Mountain, Yue Wu Mu Jingzhong Biography, Yue Fei Breaking the Dongchuang Ji, Qiquan Jizhu Zhang Mingzhen has watched almost all of the dramas such as Assassination, Story of Jing Zhong, Story of Gold Medal, Rescue Jing Zhong, Guan Yue Confession, Giving Yuhuan, Dragon and Tiger Roar, Mrs. Yue's Corpse Collection, etc., and has collected the scripts.

After singing the Yizhe Jingzhong Banner, Zhang Mingzhen became even more intoxicated.

Look at the sword with the light on while drunk!

"Why is the general depressed, but because of the northern captives' invasion of the south?" the concubine asked.

Lao Zhang danced his long sword drunk, and cut open the screen with his sword at the point of anger.

"What I am angry about is not that the captives from the north invaded from the south, and the Tartars came to invade. We warriors will fight with swords. The man should die in the border fields. Why should we return the body wrapped in horse leather? It is the fate of our soldiers to die in battle. I only hate the country's peril. However, none of the kings could take responsibility. Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan and died, regardless of the people in the world. Hongguang even fled from the army and people in Nanjing. Return the head of the city and send out wine and meat to reward the enemy who attacked the city!"

"Even though I want to be loyal to the king, there is nowhere to spill my blood! Why don't you feel sad and angry?"

"It's like that Yue Wumu served the country loyally, but what he got in return was a series of gold medals from Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, and then died unjustly in Fengboting!"

The concubine has followed Zhang Mingzhen for many years, and she admires this man very much. This man is her hero, and he has never changed in the slightest over the years.

Back then, when she was famous for her singing in Beijing, Zhang Mingzhen was just a young boy who had just entered the capital.

Zhang Mingzhen was originally from Shanxi. Because his ancestors entered Nanjing Jinyiwei and lived in Jiangning County, Yingtian Prefecture, he grew up in Jiangning.He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is good at riding, archery and stabbing. He has a bold and unrestrained personality, and he wanted to be a hero when he was young.

Later, he wandered around the world and lived in Baoguo Temple, North Baoguo Temple, Guangningmen Street. It was there that they met.

At that time, Wei Zhongxian was in power, and the eunuchs were popular for riding and shooting. Some eunuchs often set up gambling games with arrow targets in the Beijing camp, and they were fined one hundred for each arrow they lost.The children of the capital all went to bet games, and often returned with nothing.

The monks of Baoguo Temple knew that Zhang Mingzhen was good at shooting, so they raised [-] yuan and encouraged him to go to the gym.

Zhang Mingzhen was young and energetic, and his arrow skills were even more like a god. He won thousands of silver. After donating generously to the monks in the temple, he used the money he won to make friends and do business, and he became rich suddenly.

Later, he met an old scholar surnamed Ma in Wanping County in business.

After establishing a business in the capital and starting a family, Zhang Mingzhen spent more money like water, made friends with the government and the public, and abandoned business in the sixth year of the apocalypse to join the army, and was awarded the capital of the capital camp by fire.

In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde rebelled in Denglai, and the imperial court was unable to attack for a long time. Zhang Mingzhen was a partial general at that time, and he offered the method of blowing up the city with acupoints. He succeeded in one blow and made great contributions.

After the triumphant return, he was supposed to be promoted to an official position, but because he was a drunken hero to save the beauty, he accidentally killed an eunuch. In the end, he spent a lot of money and relationships to save his life, and was finally banished from Beijing.

At the end of Chongzhen, Zhang Mingzhen was promoted to Shipu guerrilla general, responsible for training the navy and supervising the construction of warships.

Zhang Mingzheng just built a batch of warships and trained a battalion of [-] sailors. As a result, the Qing army had slaughtered Yangzhou, crossed the Yangtze River, and destroyed the Hongguang court.

King Lu supervised the state of Hangzhou, and Zhang Mingzhen immediately prepared to lead the navy to escort the newly built ships to Hangzhou to serve the king. Who knew he hadn't set off yet, but news of King Lu's surrender came again.

For a chivalrous guerrilla general, all these made him unhappy.

Zhang Mingzhen is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt. He was able to feel like a fish in water in the capital back then. He had a good relationship with the eunuchs.

But he is also a person with a bottom line principle, otherwise he would not have killed that arrogant eunuch in anger because of an actor he had liked for many years.

Zhang Mingzhen, the Shipu guerrilla, was also an official position that he spent a lot of money to get through the dignitaries of the Hongguang Dynasty in Nanjing. The Ming Dynasty did something for the people of the world.

He hopes to be in charge of a battalion alone, to personally train a new army, build a fleet, and fulfill the responsibilities of a warrior.

But now that the new army has just formed, Daming is about to disappear.

For the ambitious Zhang Mingzhen, there is nothing more depressing than this.

"I heard that President Wang has surrendered, what is the general's plan?" The concubine looked at the man with distress, "No matter what the general plans, the concubine will follow."

Zhang Mingzhen sighed, "A villain in hell enters, and a gentleman in heaven ascends. Recently, the world is upside down, and the sky and the earth are not clear."

"The Tartars have sent envoys to surrender several times, and the persecution is getting tighter. I want to lead my troops to fight against the Tartars, but I don't know who to order!"

"Since the general doesn't want to surrender, then he should not surrender." The concubine put his arms around Zhang Mingzhen.

Zhang Mingzhen's eyes were red, and he tore off his robe, revealing his strong body.

"Jingniang, take the needle and tattoo four characters on my back."

"What word?"

"Serve the country with all your heart!"

Zhang Mingzhen's favorite person in this life is Grandpa Yue, a good minister in times of national calamity. He wants to imitate Yue Fei and tattoo blood on his back to strengthen his heart against Qing.

The concubine Jing Niang went to get the needle.

"bring it on!"

Zhang Mingzhen poured himself another glass of wine, and sitting there, his concubine stabbed the four Chinese characters 纯心报国 on his back one by one. The blood flowed down his back, but he didn't say a word.

After the four characters were tattooed, Zhang Mingzhen looked in the mirror and was very satisfied.

"And tattoo four words on the soles of my feet."

"Stab what?"

"Reverse Qing and Fu Ming!"

Rebel against the Qing Dynasty with the left foot, restore the sight with the right foot, serve the country with a heart on the back, and vow to rejuvenate the great cause and drive out the Tartars!

The words are all stabbed.

Zhang Mingzhen was a little drunk, and called the servant with a red face.

"Please come to the camp to meet the envoys from the north. Also, call all the brothers in the camp. I have something important to announce!"

In the Shipu guerrilla camp.

Zhang Mingzhen entered the camp with his sword hanging, and the [-] battalion soldiers and horses he recruited and trained all by himself also stood by after hearing the news.

The envoy of Boluo, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army in Hangzhou, was invited into the camp, triumphant all the way.

"General Zhang is finally willing to see this conciliator, but he has already made up his mind and is willing to surrender?"

"Please come forward!" Zhang Mingzhen said.

Bei Shiyi laughed, "I knew this earlier, so why hesitated for a long time, but it's not too late to join now. Only those who know the current affairs are outstanding, and I knew that General Zhang was a smart man!"

Zhang Mingzhen stood like a pine, and when the beishi walked up to the stage, Zhang Mingzhen suddenly drew his sword.

The light of the knife was like snow, passing by in a flash.

A huge human head flew into the sky.

Zhang Mingzhen took off his clothes and exposed his back, revealing the four newly tattooed Chinese characters "serve the country with a sincere heart".

"I, Zhang Mingzhen, the second Yue Fei, serve the country with all my heart, how can I surrender?"

The [-] sergeants in the audience were a little commotion, but under the scolding of Zhang Mingzhen's confidant officers, they quickly quieted down again.

"Serve the country with all your heart, fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, drive out the Tartars, and rejuvenate the great cause!"

The soldiers followed suit one after another, and the sound shook the sky.

Martial law was imposed in Shipu Town, the port was blocked, and the whole army was mobilized for battle.

As soon as Zhu Yihai's boat entered Sanmen Bay, it was intercepted by patrol boats from the Shipu Guerrilla Battalion.

"Who is coming?"

Wu Kai personally drove the boat forward, "I am Wu Kai from Haimen!"

"Why did General Wu come here?"

The leader of Wu Kai's Ding team shouted bluntly, "What Wu general, now my general is the commander in chief guarding Haimen and hangs the seal of General Kaiyuan, and he is the governor of the left."

A soldier on the patrol boat on the opposite side shouted disdainfully, "Has General Wu already surrendered to the Tartars, and he wants to be the commander-in-chief of the Tartars?"

"Bah, put your mother's shit on, my general's rank and seal of general are granted by His Royal Highness Daming Lu Jianguo, who cares about the bullshit official position of a tartar."

"Lu Jianguo?" The people on the patrol boat were stunned.

"Quickly go and inform your family Zhang Gueran that Lu Jianguo is here in person, and ask him to pick him up quickly!"

The Shipu sailors on the patrol boat were all at a loss. They had only heard of Lu Jianguo, so why did another Lu Jianguo come here?
