Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 464 No one in the world is transparent (please subscribe!)
Weng Ziqi took a roll of maps from his body, spread them on the newspaper, pointed to Ruzhou and Nanyang Prefecture in the south, and said: "Brother Meng, Jin Yiwei has already contacted me. In the morning, Feng Jueming, the prefect of Nanyang, and Teng Zhengmin, the prefect of Runing He will lead the local regiments of squires to defect to Daming, welcome the soldiers of the Northern Expedition from Anhui to the two places, and cooperate with them in besieging Guide Mansion."

It turned out that Zhang Qinwen, the governor of Henan, organized troops to resist the westward march of the Ming army in Guide Mansion.

Meng Zhaozhen suddenly realized: "Da Ming's plan is so deep, Brother Yu understands it! It turned out that Daming sent troops to Henan for nearly a month, and had been stationed on the border between Shandong and Henan provinces, but it was to attract Zhang Qinwen to organize troops to go to the border to resist. It must be Nanyang The prefect and the prefect of Runing, like my virtuous brother, were persuaded by Daming's Jin Yiwei to surrender to Daming, and they will pull the net when Zhang Qinwen's army falls into the trap of Guide Mansion!"

It's true that no one in the world is transparent!
It's a pity that the governor Zhang Qinwen was too timid to go to the battlefield to command in person, and stationed in Guidefu City in the rear, otherwise he would be captured alive.

But even so, I'm afraid he is doomed this time.

The chief officials of Nanyang and Runing had already controlled the local green battalion soldiers in the two places, and with the guidance of the local regiments, the soldiers of the two towns of the Ming Defense Force could go deep into the territory of Henan and detour to Guide Mansion From the rear, it is estimated that it will take less than two days to enter the territory of Chenzhou and completely surround Guide Mansion.

Moreover, as long as the tens of thousands of Qing soldiers led by Zhang Qinwen were defeated, there would be no troops in the entire Central Plains that could compete with the Ming army.

"Brother Meng, the world is still uncertain, and the capture of the Qing emperor is the best time for me to set things right. If we miss it, we will be like this for the rest of our lives, and there will be no bright future!"

After Weng Ziqi finished speaking, he looked at Meng Zhaozhen eagerly.

"Okay! Now that my virtuous brother has already made it so clear, you and I have known each other for many years, brother Yu will still not believe you? Brother Yu has made a decision. Brother Yu, hurry back to Chenzhou Mansion, and you should be able to arrive tomorrow! You and I Mansion, so they agreed to announce the matter early in the morning, break away from the Tartar Qing Dynasty, and submit to the Empire!" Meng Zhaozhen stood up, categorically speaking!
The two immediately exchanged a few words of greeting and left the secret room.

A quarter of an hour later, even though it was late at night, the door of the back yard of Kaigui Taoist Office was secretly opened, and a carriage appeared, with several riders and horses.

They hurried to the gate of the city, and left Kaifeng City late at night with the magistrate's warrant in hand, heading for Chenzhou Mansion in the southeast.

One day later, an astonishing news spread into the city of Guide Mansion, which frightened the governor Zhang Qinwen in the city.

The prefect of Nanyang and the prefect of Runing led the Green Camp and Tuanyong of Nanyang and Runing. As early as three days ago, they secretly led the Ming army into the country from Xiping in Runing Prefecture and Ye County in Nanyang Prefecture. Captured Xiangcheng and Yancheng in Zhili Prefecture of Xuzhou in one fell swoop!
Zhang Qinwen realized that Guide Mansion was a deadly place. Once Daming invaded Chenzhou from Xuzhou, Guide Mansion would be surrounded on three sides.

Immediately, it was too late to organize a group of green battalion soldiers with lax military discipline. He led [-] troops of the Han Eight Banners himself, and ordered two general soldiers to lead the Qing soldiers to prepare their troops and retreat to the west of Kaifeng Mansion.

The next morning, when Zhang Qinwen had just arrived outside the city of Kaifeng, the local gentry organized and developed by Kaifeng prefect Meng Zhaozhen held a banquet to reward the hard-working Qing army.

Without doubting him, Zhang Qinwen led dozens of cavalry guards into the city. As soon as they entered the magistrate's office, Zhang Qinwen and dozens of guards were shot and killed by the soldiers who had already ambushed, and Zhang Qinwen died tragically on the spot.

Subsequently, Meng Zhaozhen, the prefect of Kaifeng, sent a brave regiment to defeat the drunk and unsuspecting Qing army outside the city, beheading hundreds and taking thousands of prisoners, only a few hundred escaped.

Immediately, Meng Zhaozhen, a Taoist member of Kaigui and prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, announced that Kaifeng Prefecture, the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties, would break away from the Daqing rule and submit to the Ming Empire.

The local regiments and government soldiers in Kaifu City also searched the Eight Banners officials and a small number of banner soldiers and generals all over the city. In less than half a day, the entire Kaifeng Fucheng was completely controlled by Meng Zhaozhen.

At the same time, Weng Ziqi, the prefect of Chenzhou, also announced that Chenzhou was restored, separated from the Qing Dynasty, and returned to Ming Dynasty!
The next day, news spread that the two governments had defected to the imperial court and took refuge in the Chinese Empire. The entire Central Plains, from the northernmost Zhangde Mansion to the southwesternmost Shanzhou Zhili Prefecture, except Guide Mansion because of the presence of Zhang Qinwen. The [-] Han and Eight Banners soldiers stationed there did not announce their defection to the Qing court, and the remaining six prefectural capitals all declared their separation from the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty!
One day in October, the weather was getting colder. Tongcheng, Anhui, north of the Yangtze River, had a chilly wind, making the city sparsely populated and a bit desolate.

Inside Zhang's mansion, under the self-burning charcoal fire, it is as warm as spring.

A fledgling young man was standing respectfully in the study room, and beside him were two people sitting upright, wearing long robes, but they were Zhang Ying, who had once served as the servant of the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty.

There was also a majestic middle-aged man in his forties, standing beside Zhang Ying, who looked like he had been an official.

The youthful young man is none other than Zhang Ying's son, Zhang Tingyu, a child prodigy who has been famous in Anhui for the past two years.

These two people are not simple. In the history of the Qing Dynasty, there were two families with good family traditions, family precepts passed down for a long time, and great achievements. One was the Liu family (Liu Tongxun) in Zhucheng, Shandong, and the other was Tongcheng, Anhui. The Zhang family (Zhang Tingyu).

Among the Zhang family in Tongcheng, the most famous are Zhang Ying and Zhang Tingyu, father and son, known as "father and son prime minister".

However, many people don't know that the Zhang family has been awarded Jinshi for nearly 200 years, from the distant ancestor Zhang Chunming in the second year of Ming Longqing to the Jinshi Zhang Congxian in the 18th year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. There are more than 30 names and candidates. In addition, there are varying numbers of tribute students, supervisors, and scholar scholars, no less than a few hundred people, and hundreds of people who have become officials.

In short, this is a family that has been officials for generations.

In 1681, Zhang Ying begged for leave and went back to his hometown to rebury his father. After returning to his hometown to bury his father, he built a house in his hometown of Longmian Mountain and lived there for several years.

If there is no rise of the new Ming Dynasty, he will return to the Qing court in 1686 and be promoted by Kangxi all the way.

However, since the Ming and Qing wars in 1683, Zhang Ying keenly realized that the world has entered a chaotic world, and when the situation is unclear, it is extremely dangerous to return to the court to become an official!

In particular, Tongcheng in Anhui is at the junction of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Once the Ming Dynasty started the Northern Expedition, their Zhang family would be the first to be rounded up.

So, he stayed in his hometown for the reason of guiding his son's studies.

Today, Sun Zaifeng, the servant of the Ministry of Industry who had been friends with Zhang Ying in the past, brought a news from the Northern Expedition that shocked them all.
