Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 26 Yixing
Zheng Zunqian got up angrily, "Now the Tartars are invading south, destroying our country and killing our people, and forcing us to shave our hair and change clothes. This is not only a change of dynasty, but also an extermination of the country. As scholars, do we have to be cowardly? Kneeling clothes?"

"No, my generation is not only a scholar, but also a passionate youth. My knees are not so soft, and my scalp is not itchy! I came to tell you that this time, no one will try to stop me."

"Also, I just came back from meeting Yu Gong in Yunmen Mountain. I want to tell you a piece of news. King Lu of Taizhou has been supported as a supervisor of the country, and he has issued a call to attack the Qing Dynasty. Yu Gong has been worshiped as the governor of Zhejiang Province."

"Shaoxing Mansion is about to restore the old rule."

Zheng Zhiyin's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

"King Lu supervises the country?"

"That's right, there are still some brave people in the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty. We will capture and liquidate those thieves in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

"Do you think you can make things happen just with your passion? Xu Du originally had a bright future, but when he encountered a small incident, he acted recklessly on the spur of the moment, and ended up harming many people? Could it be that you still don't care about that matter?" Didn't you learn your lesson?"

Zheng Zhiyin slapped the table angrily, "You are not young, how can you be so simple-minded?"

Zheng Zunqian replied coldly to his father, "Oh, my father tried to teach his son to think twice before doing things, but the son wanted to ask, what is the reason for thinking twice? Is it only thinking about personal gains and losses, not loyalty, filial piety and righteousness?"

"You bastard, you still want to teach me how to do things?"

"Father, you are getting old, and you are becoming more timid and fearful, even disregarding your loyalty. How can a son respect you? Today, even if the king of heaven is here, I will make it up."

"Now, please father take out the key to the treasury at home and the bank's deposit certificate."

"what are you going to do?"

"I want to rebel, and rebellion costs money, so I plan to use my family's money and silver to contribute to the army."

"Brother Xu is dead, but his charity is still there, and our faith is still there!"

"Today, I will raise a flag high, Yixing!"

Zheng Zunqian has no respect for his father, and even looks a little pitiful. His poor father was once a famous person, but now he is so cowardly and cowardly. Living like this is better than dying.

Yixing, righteous society should be prosperous, righteousness should be prosperous.

Zheng Zhiyin's hands trembled in anger, and he immediately knelt down for his son.

"Don't act recklessly, don't implicate the clan and family, you are still too young, many things are not as simple as you think, think twice before acting."

"Enough, I've had enough of your preaching, think twice, what did you think about after thinking about it?"

Zheng Zunqian directly pulled out the knife at his waist, and chopped off a corner of his father's favorite red sandalwood desk.

"Today, there are no father and son, no family, only country, nation, and loyalty. Please hand over the key and token, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"You bastard!"

Zheng Zhiyin trembled all over.

Zheng Zunqian just kept a dark face, "If the world is full of people like you, the world will be hopeless. Fortunately, there are also His Royal Highness Lu Jianguo, Yu Gong, and us. "

"Come on!"

"You don't need to call, do you think it will be the same as last time, someone will help you tie me up and lock me up? No, your behavior has long been disgusting. What's more, I came prepared today, there are people outside I have many righteous brothers."

Zheng Zhiyin calmed down.

"You bastard, you just want to do something, but you think you can achieve it by messing around like this? If you want to achieve big things, you need to be more careful. Now that the Qing army's three-way army is stationed in the south of the Yangtze River, if you raise your flag to rebel now, you will only hit a stone with an egg. You Can't you bear it and be quiet?"

"Forbearance? The world is about to perish, so why endure?"

"I can't wait any longer, I can't bear to wait any longer, the remaining hot blood will be completely cooled."

"Bring it."

Zheng Zhiyin gritted his teeth and was short of breath.

The son's sword has been raised.

Zheng Zhiyin said helplessly, "It's up to you!"

After getting the key and the token exchanged for the bank deposit, Zheng Zunqian thanked his father, "Father, please study in this bookstore at ease. As long as you don't step out of the house, the Zheng family will be safe."

Zheng Zhiyin originally wanted to tell his son what he and Qian Qianyi were secretly planning, but in the end, he thought that it would be useless to tell him about his son's bad temper and fiery temper, so it would be better to let him go.

The son walked away.

Zheng Zhiyin sat down in the chair.

The king of Lu ascended the throne to supervise the country, preached to the world, and sent out envoys everywhere. This is going to set off a wave, but now the main force of the elite Qing army is still in the south of the Yangtze River. They are so impatient to raise troops, I am afraid that they will only use eggs to hit stones, ruining the prosperity of Zhongxing Daming Strength, even popular support.

But he couldn't stop it.

King Lu, a distant relative of the Ming clan, why supervise the country?
Inappropriate name.

Hey.

As for the family's money being robbed by his son, Zheng Zhiyin didn't care too much. Originally, the money was going to be sent to Qian Qianyi, but now it was robbed by his son, it didn't matter.

This precarious Ming Dynasty, where will it go in the future?
He grabbed the tiny braid at the back of his head and smiled wryly, who could understand them.

Zheng Zunqian returned to the front yard of the mansion.

In the courtyard, many backbones of the righteous society are waiting here.

"The king of Lu has already supervised the country in Taizhou, and the special envoy appointed Yu Gong as the governor of Zhejiang Province to order the gentry, soldiers and people from all over the country to revolt. We, the righteous society, must do our part not to bear the brunt of it."

"Everything in the world is okay, I want to raise the flag of righteousness, how about it?"

"Okay!" Everyone responded.

Zheng Zunqian drew his sword, "In this case, our Yishe will hold high the banner of Yixing, the number of which is Yixing Army, and I am Marshal Yixing."

"The military regulations of the Yixing Army, no flirting, no goods, no personal enmity, work together to recover the two capitals, how about it?"

"it is good!"

Many of these members of the righteous society had joined the Xudu Whitehead Army. After Xudu rebelled, the Whitehead Army had several military regulations, that is, they were not allowed to rob, kill civilians, or rape people. Yan Ming, Qiu did nothing wrong.

Now that Zheng Zunqian raised the banner of righteousness again, he wanted to continue the military regulations of Xudu back then.

They will be a team of rescuers, not robbers who take advantage of the fire.

He, Zheng Zunqian, is going to rectify Xu Du's name and reverse the case for the Whitehead Army.

Zheng Zunqian took out a white forehead cloth, tied it on his forehead, and wrote the word Yixing.

The backbones of the other charity clubs also took out the white scarves they had prepared earlier and tied them on their foreheads.

"Bring Qu Shangzhong and Chen Zeming here!"

Someone escorted two heavily tied men, one named Qu Shangzhong, who was originally a eunuch in the Hongguang court in Nanjing, died in the southern capital, and fled all the way to Shaoxing.The other is Chen Zeming, who was sent to Kuaiji to serve as an official after being sent to the Qing Dynasty in Hangzhou.

"Any fugitive official can be killed, and any surrendered minister can be killed!"

"These two are rebellious ministers and thieves, today I will behead their heads and sacrifice their blood to my Yixing banner!"

The two begged for mercy, but Zheng Zunqian ignored them. He swung a knife and cut off the two heads, and dripped the blood on the Yixing flag.

"Brothers in Yixing, raise your flag and follow me to the county government, and recover Shaoxing!"

Zheng Zunqian and others held the flag of Yixing high, wore white scarves on their heads, and went out to fight towards the Yamen. Along the way, people from the Yishe continued to join, and many ordinary people joined in, and they rushed to the Yamen in a mighty manner.

Peng Wannian, the county magistrate, was still punishing the people who refused to pay taxes. Zheng Zunqian said angrily, "You dare to harm the people of Ming Dynasty, kill!"

Cut it over with a knife, and then kill the government office.

Zhang Su hid in the backyard and asked a group of Tazi soldiers in the Yamen to protect her.

The Qing army raised their bows and released their arrows. Zheng Zunqian, holding his shield, bravely took the lead, leaped over the wall, and slashed with a knife.

Everyone rushed forward and killed the group of Tartar soldiers in the courtyard. Seeing that there was no escape, Zhang Su, the pseudo-prefect, knelt down and begged for mercy, but Zheng Zunqian chopped him down with a knife.

He occupied the yamen, took the official seal, and then ordered the treasury to be opened, took the swords and shields to arm the Yixing army, and ordered the granary to be opened to distribute to the hungry people in the city.

Sitting in the lobby, Zheng Zunqian took a pen to report the victory to Lu Jianguo!
Under the order of Zheng Zunqian, Xue Yunxun, Zheng Zhihan, Zhou Jin, Shi Tangxian, Zheng Tiren, Fu Shangbi, Shi Zaihui, Ruan Risheng, Zheng Xifan, Lu Douyu and others from Yishe led the troops and began to arrest the puppet officials who surrendered throughout the city.

"Marshal, Shang Zhou Zuo, a squire in the city, was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Jiang Fengyuan was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and there are many other registered officials and gentry. How should these people be dealt with?"

Zheng Zunqian wrote the victory report without raising his head and said, "Shang Zhouzuo and Jiang Fengyuan have been paid by high-ranking officials for decades. Now that the country is ruined and the king is dead, and the rebel army has just risen, how can they enjoy the rich money? What's more, these people I have already gone to Hangzhou to meet the commander-in-chief before, and even heard that he donated a lot of money. Huh, everyone should be killed. Now the commander-in-chief will give them another chance to redeem their sins and donate half of their family wealth. pass them."

"half?"

"Well, count their family wealth and ask them to convert half of it into silver. We will give half of the money to His Highness Jian Guo, and the remaining half will be shared with Yu Gong by the Yixing Army for military use. "

"What if they refuse?"

"Then chop it up and just ransack the house, and we'll also steal the rest." Zheng Zunqian said unceremoniously, "Brothers of the Yixing Army, you have to act in a special way at this special time, there is no need to be polite to them. Everyone hasten to set up recruiting flags at the gates of each city, and recruit volunteers, and we will recruit 5000 troops for the Volunteer Army first."

Since you want to do it, then do it vigorously.

"My Zheng family will take the lead in donating half of the family property to help pay for the army!"

As soon as these words came out, the backbones of other charity societies also expressed their willingness to actively donate their family property to pay for the army.

"Everyone, I want to reiterate that the Yixing Army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Robbery, killing of people, and adultery are not allowed. Anyone who dares to mess around will be executed without mercy!"

Zhou Shangzuo, Jiang Fengyuan, Wang Shaomei, etc. are all high-ranking officials. Usually, they would not pay attention to the Zheng family boy, but at this time the Yixing army surrounded their mansion, and when the soldiers asked for donations to help the army, these people only refuted a few words , and then he was so frightened by the sword light and arrow shadow that he didn't dare to breathe, so he had to obediently express his willingness to raise money.

"Go and invite Yu Gong to enter the city. Brother Liu Dadao and I have already recovered Shaoxing!"
