Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 33
Outside Dinghai Weiyuan Fort.

Two waves of people were fighting, and both sides were talented students. At this time, Deng rolled up his sleeves and beat each other.

"Traitor! Running dog!"

"Anti-thief, wild life, rotten Confucianism!"

The gatekeepers at the gate of Weiyuan Fort watched with great interest, and even yelled openly to place bets. They, Qiu Ba, were very happy with the gentle and defeated appearance of these usually elegant and superior scholars. .

"General Wang has complied with the trend of the times and joined the new dynasty. You rotten Confucians are still going against the trend. If you want to pull General Wang into rebellion, you really don't know how to live or die. Don't drag others down." The self-proclaimed disciple of Xie Sanbin The three young men obviously couldn't beat the two on the opposite side.

Although three are against two, they are at a disadvantage.

The two people on the opposite side became more and more courageous as they fought more and more. They swung their fists and smashed them like raindrops. Have you eaten all the rice in your dog's belly? You don't have the face to surrender to the thief, and now you have the nerve to persuade Wang Zongbing, and you want Wang Zongbing to send troops to kill the righteous, bah, I am ashamed of you Waiting for the dog thief to come from the same hometown, it is even more ashamed to be a classmate with you!"

It turned out that the five people who fought in front of the fort were not only fellows from Yin County, Ningbo, but also classmates from the county school.

However, Xie Sanbin said that after rejecting Lin Shiduo's request to come out to preside over the righteousness, he felt uneasy, and sent people to follow Lin Shidui, and found that they were conspiring with Qian Sule, Zhang Huangyan and others. He sent his disciples and servants to Dinghai with money, and wanted to ask Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen to lead troops to Ningbo Fucheng to capture the rebels, and even help him exterminate Yuyao, Sun Jiaji and other rebels.

Unexpectedly, Xie Sanbin was only thinking about power and saving money, but he didn't want his grandchildren to be ashamed of his behavior. After knowing this, his eldest grandson Xie Weilin immediately went to Qian Sule's house to tell the truth. Of.

Xie Weilin's behavior was praised by Qian Sulelin and Zhang Huangyan, but he also felt deeply dangerous.

In the end, Huaxia and Wang Jiaqin, two of the six crazy students, volunteered to come to Dinghai to find Wang Zhiren, while Zhang Huangyan expressed his willingness to go to Shipu to find Zhang Mingzhen, in order to persuade them not to help the evildoers anyway.

This task is very dangerous, after all, whether it is Wang Zhiren or Zhang Mingzhen, on the surface, they have already been appeased by the Qing court and surrendered to the new dynasty.

But all three said that for the great cause of the family and the country, their personal lives can be ignored.

Resolutely embarked on the journey.

Huaxia and Wang Jiaqin rushed all the way to Dinghai, but when they were waiting in front of Weiyuan Fort, they met the student servant sent by Xie Sanbin.

The two of Huaxia were not ashamed of Xie Sanbin for a long time, and hated him even more for being a hypocrite. They secretly wanted to put the righteous men to death, so the two sides disagreed with each other and fought violently.

They were originally from the same hometown and were classmates, and they had a good relationship in the past, but in this stormy and chaotic Ming Dynasty, the two sides stood in opposing camps.

The three of Chen Xiuchen couldn't defeat the Huaxia two, and their followers were ordered by the pacesetters of Weiyuan Fort not to intervene in the battle between the scholars, so they could only worry on the sidelines.

"Captain, these are rebels who want to rebel, please take them down, it will be a piece of military merit." Chen Xiuchen retreated in embarrassment, and asked for help from the pacesetters guarding the gate.

But a group of soldiers from the Biao Battalion, a group of big bosses, were enjoying watching the show, so they didn't want to intervene.

At this time, a captain of Wang Zhiren's servant came out from the door.The gatekeeper hurried forward to salute, "Hi, Captain Wang."

Captain Wang glanced at the gentle and sweeping scholars in front of the gate, and smiled disdainfully, "Masters of outstanding talents, my family has an invitation from the army."

Only then did the two of Huaxia put away their hands, straightened their skirts, and entered the castle calmly.

Chen Xiuchen held his bleeding nose, and said angrily, "I heard that a madman came to scold Wang Zongbing the day before yesterday, accusing him of belonging to the Qing Dynasty, but he was beheaded by Wang Zongbing, how dare you not know that?" Life and death will be sent to your door, because of the classmates, I advise you to run quickly, life-saving is the most important thing."

"Pooh!"

Hua Xia spat at Chen Xiuchen. The two were originally classmates, friends, and even relatives, but at this time, Hua Xia hated each other deeply, "You bastard with no bones."

Chen Xiuchen was angry and gritted his teeth.

The other two said, "When Zongbing Wang cuts off their heads later, let's see how crazy they are!"

Under the leadership of the servant team, two groups of scholars came to the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Wang Zhiren sitting high on the throne, dressed in a military uniform, with a sword at his waist, full of murderous looks.

On one side of the hall, there were still a few people sitting.

Wang Zhiren looked at the few with bruised noses, swollen faces and even messy clothes, and asked coldly, "Don't you know that this general has received a new order, you are so brave, you dare to come to your door, even dare to fight in front of this general's door ?”

Seeing this, Chen Xiuchen felt complacent about his misfortune, and hurriedly said, "Student Chen Xiuchen, from the Chen family in Yin County, whose family ancestor was the servant of the household department of the Tianqi Dynasty. The student worshiped under the former imperial servant Shaoqing Xie Gong's door. Xiucai, I was ordered by my teacher to come to pay a visit to the military gate today, there have been a group of rebels in the city of Ningbo, and they intend to raise their flags to rebel and cause chaos, my master asks Wang Junmen to send troops to quell the chaos immediately."

"The family teacher and the gentry in the prefecture city have prepared ten thousand taels of silver for the general's salary, and the family teacher has also prepared 1000 taels of silver for the military gate as a thank-you gift."

Wang Zhiren frowned. This scholar with a bleeding nose and crooked nose is very unqualified. He actually said this in public.Even if it's a gift, it's a private transaction, and everyone knows about it.

Huaxia spit at Chen Xiuchen again, interrupting him.

"I heard that the great general has received the state's grace for generations, and the virtuous brother often died in the country's calamity. The world looks forward to it. People with lofty ideals believe that the general just hides his strength and bides his time, and waits for opportunities. Is it true? Today, there are still half of the country in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and even more in the Central Plains. People think of Han, the key to the East China Sea is the general, followed by General Huang of Zhoushan, then General Zhang of Shipu, and General Wu of Haimen. I will send elite troops to the more land, and the mountains are high and the sea is dangerous. The general will stand up at this time to lead the rebel army to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. , after the recovery in the future, how can there be a lesser title of prince?"

Chen Xiuchen scolded, "It's a bunch of nonsense, Chongzhen hanged himself, Hongguang was captured, Lujian surrendered, and both capitals fell. This Ming Dynasty has already come to an end. What else is there to talk about? Dinghai is only a corner in the east and southeast of Zhejiang. How can you act against the sky? General It is a hero who knows the current affairs, how can there be a reason why he does not know how to follow the trend?"

"General, all the monarchs of the Ming Dynasty abandoned their country and the people, and they didn't stick to it. As a general, why should he guard for them? Go with the times, and Fang is a hero."

Huaxia's voice.

"You soft-boned thief, I will tell you today that the rule of the Ming Dynasty is not over, and the country will not perish. His Royal Highness King Lu, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, has been supported by the officials, gentry, soldiers and people in Linhai City, Taizhou a few days ago. The new emperor of the Ming Dynasty will be established again, and ZTE will be imminent.”

Zhu Yihai was sitting at one side of the hall at this time, listening to the passionate words of this young scholar, and even mentioning him, he couldn't help feeling emotional.

Wang Zhiren also looked towards him, and Zhu Yihai smiled back.

"Which king of Lu is an onion? He can't even hold the feudal land in Yanzhou, Shandong, and you still expect him to hold on to this remnant half of the country? It's just a dream, but it's just another young clan who doesn't know how to live or die, and is even full of ambitions." Those who want to wear dragon robes and sit on the imperial chair are just addicted to the emperor. When the Qing army comes to fight, I'm afraid they can run faster than anyone else. In order to meet the ambitions of such fools, why do you use your own money? How about a bright future and life to accompany you?"

Wang Zhiren took several cases at once.

"shut up!"

"An dare to insult my lord of Ming Dynasty?"

Wang Zhiren stood up, drew his sword, and was about to kill Chen Xiuchen in the hall.

Zhu Yihai also stood up.

"Wait a minute, General Wang!"

Wang Zhiren bowed to Zhu Yihai, "Your Highness, this rebellious traitor should be punished."

Seeing Wang Zhiren bowing to a young man and addressing him as His Highness, the five scholars were stunned for a moment.

Zhu Yihai stepped forward.

He walked in front of Huaxia and Wang Jiaqin, and bowed first.

"You two gentlemen, please accept Zhu Yihai's respect!"

Zhu Yihai, upon hearing this name, the two of Huaxia came to their senses. Isn't this the King of Lu and Jianguo of Lu that he just mentioned?
Facing the dubious eyes of the two, Zhu Yihai nodded, "Gu Bian is exactly the King Lu that Mr. said just now."

"Your Highness?"

"As Mr. Hua Xia said just now, Dinghai is the key to the East China Sea, and General Wang is a loyal general of the imperial court. When the country is in peril, the first thing he does after he is ordered to supervise the country in Linhai is to come here to meet the king. General, ask General Wang to come out and preside over the military, and lead the troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty."

At this time, the two finally confirmed that this young man was Lu Jianguo, and they were very excited.

The two of Huaxia hurriedly paid respects to Zhu Yihai, "I heard Brother Cangshui say that His Highness is brave and courageous, and I have longed for it. I wish I could see him sooner. I never thought that I would see His Highness here."

Wang Jiaqin also said, "The ministers are already lonely ghosts, now there is finally hope again."

Chen Xiuchen and the others stared wide-eyed, looking at this scene with disbelief.

"General Wang, you...how are you?"

Wang Zhiren rolled his eyes, "Do you think everyone is as cowardly and afraid of death as you soft bones? There are not many civil servants who are not greedy for money, but there are many generals who are not afraid of death. I, Wang Zhiren, am one of those warriors who are not afraid of death." Well, don’t you have any last words to confess?”

The three of them were in a hurry.

"Please spare my life, General, I really don't know..."

"Without further ado."

Zhu Yihai turned his head back, "Your Majesty, save their lives first."

"Your Highness, what are these cowardly and soft-boned dog slaves who have surrendered to thieves?"

Zhu Yihai walked up to Chen Xiuchen and the others, stared at them and said, "Give them a chance to atone for their sins, and allow them to donate money to atone for their sins. People will inevitably make mistakes, so we have to give them some opportunities to correct themselves." Zhu Yihai Looking at Chen Xiuchen, "Are you right?"

Being stared at by Zhu Yihai, Chen Xiuchen felt hairy, and even got goosebumps. Thinking of the bad things he said about Zhu Yihai just now, he even felt that he was about to lose control of his urine.

Swallowing his dry throat, he nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Student... yes, yes!"

"Just now you said that your ancestor was the Minister of the Household Department of the Tianqi Dynasty, and that your Chen family is a famous family in Yincheng, Ningbo Prefecture. I think the family background should be very wealthy. I wonder how much you are willing to donate?"

"Students are willing to donate 1000 taels... two thousand..."

"3000 taels." Chen Xiuchen gritted his teeth.

Zhu Yihai shook his head and turned around.

Wang Zhiren came over with a murderous sword in his hand, "Fucking bastard, you think you are shopping for vegetables, and you dare to bargain with His Highness Jianguo, die."

Chen Xiuchen was as scared as killing a pig, "The student is wrong, the student is wrong, the student is willing to donate 5000 taels."

"Bah! A dog who doesn't cry until he sees the coffin!"

"Students are willing to break their homes to help pay!"

A smell of urine permeated the air, and Chen Xiuchen, who was covered in sifted chaff, sat slumped on the ground, with a large yellow water stain spread out under his body.

He was terrified.

"You, who call yourself a son of a famous family, dare to come to be a lobbyist? Bah!" Wang Zhiren backed away in disgust.
