Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 68
Wang Zhiren sent an urgent letter from Ningbo, with good news and bad news. Dinghai fell for a short time, but eventually regained it. The dynasty first fought with Huang Binqing, and failed to vote.

Zhang Guozhu was defeated and fled, and thousands of troops under his command were captured and incorporated by Wang Zhiren.

Shipu Wu Kai, Haimen Wang Xiang, Ningbo Qian Sule and others have already led their troops to Dinghai, and Wang Zhiren is ready to meet Huang Binqing's possible invasion at any time.

This time the invasion of Ningshao by King Yiyang's troops was a complete failure, but it was also the start of a war. It is not yet known whether the two will fight or not.

There was also news from Shaoxing that many court ministers and celebrities who were desperate and prepared to die for their country were encouraged by Zhu Yihai's frequent victories.

Liu Zongzhou, the former censor of Zuodu, survived a hunger strike for a week, Rongzheng Shangshu Zhang Guowei also rushed from Jinhua to the front line of Shaoxing, and Jiangnan governor Qi Biaojia also put on the official robe of Ming Dynasty and came out to fight against the Qing Dynasty after a week of hunger.

In addition, Chen Meng, a former scholar from Shengxian County, Zhu Dian, who had joined the cabinet in Jinhua, and Fang Fengnian, a scholar, and many other scholars and ministers also rushed to Shaoxing after hearing the news.

Shaoxing is very lively now. Eighteen rebel armies have rushed to Shaoxing to assist Yu Ying in building the Qiantang River defense line. There are also a lot of former high-ranking officials and scholars.

Now they are all talking about holding a grand enthronement ceremony for Zhu Yihai in Shaoxing, to officially proclaim him emperor, and order the remaining half of the country.

Just after Zhu Yihai went out to sea by boat, Zhang Guowei, Liu Zongzhou, Qi Biaojia, Chen Meng, Fang Fengnian, Song Zhipu, etc. formed a very high-level welcoming group to welcome him to Shaoxing, but it turned out that Zhu Yihai had already led his troops to sea .

Zhang Guowei, Liu Zongzhou, the group of old academicians shook their beards in anger, and directly sprayed Huang Zongxi, Feng Jingdi, etc. who were staying behind in Meishanzhai, all over their faces, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

But after scolding, a group of old men can't do anything, they have already crossed the sea, and it's too late to say anything.

"His Royal Highness left a decree to supervise the country before leaving?"

Zhang Guowei was stunned for a moment, "What is His Highness's will for us?"

"Well, before His Highness left, he said that the elders might arrive soon, but he didn't have time to wait, so he left a message."

Zhang Guowei, Liu Zongzhou and others couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay. This young His Royal Highness Jian Guo is too surprising.

From Taizhou to Ningbo, and from Ningbo to Yushao, in just a few days, there was no shortage of travel along the way, let alone major events.

Not only did they put down Chen Wu's rebellion, but they also wiped out a thousand cavalry from the Tartars who had infiltrated. Now they are going directly to Ninghai with the newly built [-] soldiers and horses, and they can still be counted as coming.

"What purpose?"

The 50-year-old Zhang Guowei is actually still in his prime, but he is overworked and has gray beard and hair. Looking at him, he thinks he is 70 years old. This is from Dongyang, Zhejiang Province. He is a Jinshi of Apocalypse. With great merit, after Chen Xinjia, Minister of the Ministry of War, was imprisoned, he took over as Minister of the Ministry of War.In the 16th year of Chongzhen, because the Qing army entered the customs, the eight generals were defeated, and they were impeached and dismissed.

After the situation became urgent, he was restored to office, joined the censor of the capital, and went to Jiangnan and Zhejiang to train troops and pay wages. Beijing fell only ten days after leaving Beijing.Fu Wangli, summoned to assist in Rongzheng, and admiral to supervise the Beijing camp.Later, the crown prince Taibao was added. Because the chief assistant Ma Shiying was hostile, Zhang Guowei begged his relatives to return home.

After Hongguang was captured and King Lu surrendered, Zhang Guowei wrote that loyalty and filial piety cannot be fulfilled. As a minister, friendship is bound to die. He confessed to his two sons and asked the eldest son to commit suicide together. filial piety.

He committed suicide by throwing himself into the water. As a result, news came from Taizhou, the king of Lu, that his family rescued him, so Zhang Guowei took his son to Taizhou, then to Shaoxing, and now to Meishanzhai.

In the end, he still didn't see Jian Guo.

"The decree of the supervision of the state, enter Zhang Guowei's Shaofu and Prince Taifu, Minister of the Ministry of War, Bachelor of Wuyingdian, and Governor of Zhejiang and other local military affairs, and supervise Jiangshang!"

"Fang Fengnian, Zhu Dadian, Chen Hanhui, Chen Meng, Qi Biaojia, Song Zhipu, and Ke Xiaqing all joined the cabinet as Grand Scholars. Song Zhipu was the first assistant, and Qi Biaojia was the second assistant. Zhu Dadian defended Jinhua with the rank of Grand Scholars."

"Liu Zongzhou Jia Shaoshi is also the Prince Taishi, Zuodu Censor, and Li Zhichun is the Youdu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"Chen Hanhui is also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Li Xiangchun is the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Zhang Wenyu is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Zhengchen is the Minister of the Left of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Siren is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Yu Huang is the Minister of the Ministry of War..."

"Ke Xiaqing is also the Minister of Rongzheng and the Assistant Manager of Beijing Camp."

Sun Jiaji, Xiong Rulin, and Qian Sule contributed to the uprising, and they were all added to the censor of the capital of Youqian, the volunteer teacher of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War.

"Liu Mu, Zheng Zunqian, and Liu Guangshi are enfeoffed as commander-in-chief."

"Yu Yingjia is the governor of Zhejiang, and Huang Zongxi is the governor of Zhejiang."

"Wang Zhiren is the governor of the Beijing camp, he is granted the title of Wu Ning Bo, Zhang Mingzhen is the general soldier of Zhejiang, and the town is sealed to Dong Bo..."

"Governor Zhang Guowei's military affairs, supervisor Jiang Shang!"

The decree is very long. Before in Taizhou, the cabinet only worshiped Song Zhipu as a bachelor, and Chen Hanhui and Ke Xiaqing assisted. This time, including Song Zhipu, eight bachelors were worshiped.

Song Zhipu, the first hero, is the first assistant university scholar, Qi Biaojia is the second assistant, and the rest are assistant ministers.

Zhang Guowei, the governor of the ten prefectures of the Chongzhen Dynasty and the Minister of the Ministry of War, was worshiped as a scholar and minister of the Ministry of War. At the same time, he was the governor of Zhejiang. He was also specially awarded the title of supervisor to command the entire Qiantang River defense line.

Yu Ying was also officially promoted to governor of Zhejiang, supervising military affairs and managing food and pay.

Shangshu Shilang and others have also appointed several.

As for Zheng Zunqian and Sun Jiaji, the leaders of the uprisings in various places, Zhu Yihai also conferred important positions and titles. For example, Sun Jiaji, Xiong Rulin, and Qian Sule were originally only officials of the fifth or sixth rank, but this time they were all directly awarded. The titles of the capital censor and the minister of the Ministry of War allow them to continue to command the headquarters, and directly give their rebels the official army establishment and food and salaries.

Zheng Zunqian and Liu Guangshi were originally just chivalrous men, and they were directly appointed as the commander-in-chief. Liu Mu was originally a deputy general, who responded positively and led his troops to take down Fuyang. Each is given a battalion number, and the soldiers are given food and salaries.

After receiving this decree, the group of bigwigs who came over had mixed feelings.

This arrangement of Jian Guo was comprehensive. Song Zhipu's main cabinet was in charge of bill drafting, Liu Zongzhou was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Zhang Guowei was a bachelor, governor, and supervisor Jiang Shang.

Zhu Dadian holds the title of a bachelor and is responsible for defending Jinhua.

Yu Ying was also promoted to governor of Zhejiang.

In short, both civil and military affairs have their own arrangements.

Although some people think that Song Zhipu is not enough to be the chief assistant of the cabinet, no matter his qualifications or ability, but this is the chief hero, just like Chen Hanhui and Ke Xiaqing. University scholars joined the cabinet, even as Chen Hanhui also served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Ke Xiaqing also served as Minister of Rongzheng and Assistant Manager of the Beijing Camp, all of which are extremely powerful positions.

Even if Zheng Zunqian was just a scholar, this time he directly worshiped the commander-in-chief, and Liu Guangshi was just a ranger, so he also directly worshiped the commander-in-chief.

Qian Sule has only worked as a member of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Sun Jiaji has served as a doctor in the Ministry of War, and Xiong Rulin was originally only a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but now he is directly serving as the censor of the capital and the Minister of the Ministry of War, and each unites the battalion.

As for Huang Zongxi of the Shizhong Camp, who was awarded the supervisory censor and patrolling Zhejiang, and Lin Shi was divided into patrolling Shaotai Road and Taizhou Bingbei Road, etc., everyone can actually accept it. After all, although these people are originally low-ranking and low-qualified But with Conglong and the uprising, it is normal for the supervisor to reuse them.

At least Zhang Guowei, Liu Zongzhou, Qi Biaojia, Chen Meng, Fang Fengnian and other ministers were used by the supervisor of the country.

Zhang Guowei did not expect that he would be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility by the state prison.

He wanted to refuse, but Jian Guo had already crossed the sea and went north.

"Please ask Huang Xunyin to find a boat for the old man. The old man plans to cross the sea to find Jian Guo." Zhang Guowei decided.

"My lord has chosen the governor of Zhejiang for His Highness, the governor of all the soldiers and horses on the river."

"The soldiers and horses on the Qiantang River have always been presided over by Mrs. Yu, and now Mr. Yu is also worshiped by His Highness as the governor of Zhejiang, admirals and military preparations. It is good that Mrs. Yu is still in charge."

Zhang Guowei made up his mind to find Zhu Yihai.

"My lord, in fact, even if I see His Highness, His Highness will definitely not come back." Huang Zongxi said.

"Even so, the old man has to be by His Highness's side. As a country supervisor, how can there be no cabinet ministers by his side?"

Liu Zongzhou kept frowning, wanting to criticize Jian Guo for being reckless. How could the dignified Jian Guo ignore the court and go to the area occupied by the Tartars? It's ridiculous. Isn't this the same as Ming Wuzong?

But when he thought about the feats that the supervisor had done in a short period of time, it was these seemingly reckless actions that could save the collapse so quickly, and even inspired many people's hearts.

Liu Zongzhou's heart is extremely complicated, there are many words accumulated in his chest but he can't say them out.

These old men are all very prestigious ministers, and when the country collapsed and corrupted, they all planned to commit suicide and die for the country. They decided to continue to contribute when they heard that the King of Lu came to supervise the country and wanted to resist the captives and restore the Ming Dynasty. .

They are not afraid of death.

But I was worried that the situation that was finally opened would be wasted again.

"I'm going to Haining too." Liu Zongzhou said with a green face.

"Liu Gong, you are the censor of Zuodu, whom His Highness worships, and you should be in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Liu Zhouzong glared angrily at the filial son of Yao Jiang, "Your Highness is still the Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty!"

One sentence made Huang Zongxi unable to answer.

"I'll go too." Second assistant Qi Biaojia said.

"You stay here. Mr. Song has little experience, and you need someone to help you manage the cabinet affairs. You stay to help handle the cabinet affairs and draft bills." Liu Zongzhou and Qi Biaojia are both from Shaoxing, and they are both known as Jingshi Great talents are both leaders in the literary world and masters of Confucian classics, and they are also people who pursue practicality in the world. Although their official careers are bumpy, they are very capable of general affairs.

"Wherever the Supervisory State is, there will be where the line is, and the court will be there, and we and other ministers should be there!" Qi Biaojia said bluntly, "Daming is now, and the whole world is counting on His Highness the Supervisory Kingdom. If the Supervisory State Unexpectedly, there is no hope for this Da Ming.”

He said bluntly, "Since Your Highness is going north to Haining, then my assistant will also be in Haining."

As soon as these words came out, no one wanted to go back to Shaoxing.

The old men all expressed excitedly that they would go to Haining together.

They all shouted to Xiao Huang, hurry up and get the boat, we will set off immediately without delay.

Huang Zongxi, who had his shoulders hanging, looked helpless, "I'm going with you, my lords!"
