Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 24 The Great Sword
Shaoxing.

"This is Shaoxing, which is divided by the Fu River and the two counties of Kuaiji and Shanyin, one city and two counties. I never imagined that after the Tartars occupied Hangzhou, the city of Shaoxing, which is so close at hand, can be so prosperous."

On the Fuhe River Lane, inside the Wupeng boat, the son of Taizhou Chen Hanhui couldn't help sighing.

"Actually, people in Shaoxing have been panicked for a long time. The Tatars appointed Yuan Tongjuan Zhang Su as the magistrate, and the dog thief issued an order to shave their hair, and the persecution was very strict, saying that they would keep their hair but not their hair. The people of Shaoxing were outraged. The Lord and the others have long been planning to raise troops. Now that the King of Lu has ascended the throne, he sent his brother to Shao to contact and command, which is really timely."

The same freshmen were dressed as Yu Yingzhizi, who was originally guarding Shaotai in Ning. After the Qing army occupied Hangzhou, they quickly sent a striker to surrender with Hangzhou. The Ming army crossed the Qiantang River and entered Shaoxing. Peng Wanli, the magistrate of Shanyin County, and others surrendered one after another, and went to Hangzhou to meet the commander-in-chief.

After returning, he began to urge money and food, recruit strong men, and approach the people to shave their hair.

"Before my younger brother came to Shaoxing, the King of Lu summoned him and said that Yu Gong was born as a Jinshi. He had successively served as the head of the Ministry of Industry. Then he was promoted to the magistrate of Shunde, he spared no effort to appease the thieves, and kept the side peaceful, and then he was promoted to the magistrate of Xi'an, but he was impeached and demoted for appeasing the thieves..."

Chen Xining also did his homework before coming here, and he has a very clear record of Ying's resume, "In the last years of Chongzhen, he was restored to the prefect of Shaoxing. , Yu Gongnai and Liu Gong, the censor of Zuodu, supported King Lu to supervise the country in Hangzhou, Ma Shiying protected the queen mother to Hangzhou, and Yu Gongnai wrote a letter in tears asking to behead Ma Shiying to bring peace to the world, but Lu Wang was deceived by Chen Hongfan and other traitors to surrender the thief."

Yu Han sighed.

"If Lu Wang could listen to my father's request and kill traitors like Ma Shiying and Chen Hongfan, maybe things would not be like this."

Yu Ying asked Ma Shiying to kill Ma Shiying, but King Lu refused. Instead, he still made Ma Shiying the leader and assistant. Ma Shiying immediately sent Yu Ying back to Shaoxing to recruit troops and drove him out of Hangzhou.

As soon as Yu Ying arrived in Shaoxing, King Lu of Hangzhou surrendered.

Yu Ying was indignant that the Qing army had arrived, so he had to retreat into Yunmen Mountain to plan. He contacted everywhere, but at this time King Lu of Taizhou suddenly sent someone to the door.

In Yunmen Mountain.

Yu Ying has already summoned many followers here.

"The imperial edict of the supervisory state, Yu Gong accepts the edict!"

The gray-haired Yu Ying excitedly changed into a red official robe, and solemnly knelt down to accept the order.

Although the conditions in the mountains are simple, they still insist on setting up cases and burning incense.

"...Jin Yuying and Zhejiang act as governors on behalf of the inspectors, and add Youqian capital censor!"

The imperial edict was drafted by Song Zhipu, a scholar of the cabinet, who praised Ying's background and achievements, especially his loyalty, and finally gave him a promotion.

He was promoted from sub-inspector Ning Shaotai Road to Zhejiang Inspectorate, and acted as governor.

In the Ming Dynasty system, the imperial court consisted of the cabinet and six ministries, and the local governments were the provincial capitals and counties. The province was a common name, and the official full name was Chengxuan Zhengshisi. There were three carriages, namely the Chief Secretary, the Inspection Division, and the Capital Division, in charge of civil affairs and justice in a province. , Military etc.

Although after the middle and late Ming Dynasty, governors and governors became regular appointments, governors were still not formal official positions.

Between the three divisions and the mansion, Daming also set up many roads. The roads are quite special, such as guarding roads, patrolling roads, food supervision roads, and military preparation roads. It is not an administrative division, but a special area dedicated to tasks.

For example, Fen Shou Dao is a subordinate agency sent by the Chief Secretary, Fen Xun Dao is an agency dispatched by the Procuratorate, and generally inspects places, supervises civil affairs, taxation, money, etc., and Bing Bei Dao is also responsible for military drills, food, etc.

It is definitely a high promotion to be promoted to the third-rank inspector. What's more, Lu Jianguo has given a greater power, which is to act as the governor.

He was not directly appointed as the governor, but acting as the governor, the real power was given, and the constitutional title of Youqiandu Yushi was added, which could be renamed to facilitate the management of the province's officials.

Yu Ying was very pleased to accept the imperial decree.

King Lu didn't want to be the supervisor of the country, and after being forced into the position of supervisor of the country, he surrendered in fear of death in only five days.

However, the king of Lu was able to refuse the surrender of the Tartars. At this critical moment, he was ordered to take the initiative to stand up and supervise the country. He did not make a southern tour, but actively contacted the garrison in eastern Zhejiang actively, and at the same time sent people to contact various places. The courage and determination of the military and the civilians made this experienced minister feel that the heavens have opened his eyes.

"Your Highness said that he will go north to Shaoxing soon. Before he comes, Shaoxing has been entrusted to Yu Gong."

"What is your Highness' plan? Are you going to call troops to Shao to fight the Tartars, and even take back Hangzhou?"

Before Chen Xining came, he was told by ear and face, he asked Yu Ying to talk alone.

"Your Highness said that the Tartars are powerful now, and their forces are sharp. It is unrealistic to insist on taking back Hangzhou and the two capitals. The most urgent thing is to stabilize the situation and calm people's hearts. The weather is hot now, and the Tartars are impatient. Right now, there is no intention for the army to continue to go south, so His Highness personally went to various places to meet with the generals of the garrison to recruit soldiers, and please also ask Yu Gong to contact the righteous men here and take back the city."

"At that time, build river defenses along the Qiantang River to prevent the Tartars from crossing the river, and first paddle the river to resist the enemy."

Since Hongguang was captured and King Lu surrendered, the entire south of the Yangtze River is now in panic. Countless officials will surrender.

Zhu Yihai still hopes to stabilize the hearts of the people in the southeast first. As for fighting the Tartars, he must fight, but he has to pay attention to how to fight. It is impossible to go directly to the city of Hangzhou to gather troops and attack Hangzhou.Instead, before the Qing army had a chance, or when the strategic misjudgment did not plan to go south, first stabilize the turbulent places, and send those who surrendered to be chopped or captured.

The flag of Ming Dynasty must continue to stand up.

Although there are many soft bones surrendering now, there are still many ministers like Yu Ying who are willing to persist in resisting the Qing Dynasty.

"Where is Your Highness now?"

"It is estimated that it should already be in Ningbo Dinghai by this time."

Yu Ying called her nephews and disciples to convey the will of supervising the country.

"Now that we have the command of the supervisor, we have a backbone. Now His Highness wants to turn the tide, and we can no longer hide in this mountain. It is time to attack."

"Yu Gong, what should we do?"

"Young Master Chen brought His Highness's will. Your Highness asked us to rise up in various parts of Shaoxing, call on the people, capture and kill the false officials appointed by the Tartars, recapture the cities, and set up our Sun and Moon Banner of Daming again!"

"Yu Gong, count me as Liu Dadao, and I'll go back to the city to agitate."

Liu Dadao's real name is Liu Yi Mingzi Guangshi. He is a well-known hero in Shanyin City. His family background is wealthy, his bravery is unsurpassed, and he is good at wielding a sword, so he is called Liu Dadao.

When Yu Ying was the magistrate of Shaoxing, King Fu proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, and Yu Ying transported grain to Nanjing. Liu Dadao volunteered to escort Shao Yingdou from Yuyao, Zhu Boyu from Xiaoshan and other friends. Yin Ranger Zheng Zunqian is a friend of life and death.

Earlier when Yu Ying retreated to Yunmen Mountain, he took the initiative to contact Liu Dadao, and Liu Dadao also very readily expressed his willingness to follow the Anti-Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, he was the first to stand up.

"Okay, let's invite Nephew Guang Shixian to return to the city as an internal response, and we should cooperate internally and externally." Yu Ying and others have also been plotting to start an incident, and now that the envoy of King Lu has brought a decree, they plan to launch an incident in advance.

Liu Dadao cupped his hands, "I'm going back to Huicheng now. Tomorrow I will be in Shanyin City, and Zheng Zunqian will be in Kuaiji City. We will launch an incident at the same time. Yu Gong and Big Brother Liu are outside the city to prepare to respond."

"Brother Liu, please let my younger brother go with you." Chen Xining begged.

Yu Han also asked to enter the city to plan together.

"I, Liu Dadao, like such a straightforward brother, okay, let's go together."

·····
Early the next morning, in front of the Nanshui Shrine in Shanyin City, Liu Dadao held his eye-catching sword, tied a red scarf on his forehead, and gave an impassioned speech in public.

A large group of citizens were attracted around.

With the sound of gongs and drums, the people were all attracted.

The head of the county government came over with an iron ruler and brought a helper, "What's going on, what are you all doing together?"

When everyone saw that it was Chen Butou from the county government, he retreated in fear. This guy was originally a bully in the city, especially after his sister became the concubine of Peng Wanli, the county magistrate, and became a helper from the county government. Hurry up, after Peng Wanli was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, although he was still the county magistrate, he immediately asked his concubine brother Chen Yin to be the head of the county government to help him maintain the situation.

Chen Yin also immediately recruited a large group of cronies to enrich his team, and took the opportunity to extort all kinds of Sona cards in the city every day, and the people dared not speak out.

among the crowd.

Liu Dadao shouted with a big sword, "Fellow folks, Emperor Lie was martyred for his country, his glory was covered with dust, and King Lu was forced to surrender the city to the north. In one or two years, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. Now that the Tartars invaded, Jin'ou was incomplete, and the lives of the people were ruined. My Ming Dynasty Our country is already at stake, if we wait any longer in insensitivity, I am afraid that we will inevitably be ordered to shave our heads today, and tomorrow we will seize our houses and fields, and even rob our wives and children!"

"Everyone, the national crisis is like this, even if you are alive, you will die!"

Liu Dadao stamped his chest with his foot, tears streaming down his face.

Everyone around is concerned.

At this time, Yu Han, who was already in the crowd, said loudly, "Liu Dadao, you have always been chivalrous, please bring everyone up!"

Chen Xining shouted, "The king of Lu has killed the envoys of the Tartars in Taizhou, and established a supervisory state for the officials, gentry, soldiers and people of Taizhou. He is sending an edict to the world, calling on us to rise up and restore China."

There were some young people in the crowd who clapped their hands and shouted, "Okay, I also had this intention a long time ago, and I wanted to turn against the **** Tartars and dog officials, but it's just that there is no one to take the lead. Now Liu Dadao is advocating First, there is King Lu on stage, so what are you waiting for!"

At this time, a young man pointed at the captor Chen Yin who was about to retreat quietly, "Chen Rogue, the son of Peng Wannian, the dog officer who surrendered to the captive, is here, arrest him!"

"Kill this dog thief, it's reversed!"

Chen Yin ran away with his head in his arms, but Liu Dadao caught up with him in two or three steps, and with a single swing of the knife, he was cut into two pieces directly in the middle, blood splattered, and the murderous aura filled the air.

"Inverted!"

"Come on, everyone follow me into the county government office, and kill those dog officials and Tartars!"

At this time, Yu Han and Chen Xining and their companions immediately took out the flags and weapons that had been hidden long ago.

"Eliminate the Tartars and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty!"

With a red scarf tied on his forehead, a steel knife in his hand, and a flag of righteousness held high, he led the crowd to kill the government!
