Zhang Huahan hurriedly drew the principles and blueprints of the flower bomb in the room. Next to him was a simple textbook written by him on the most basic physics, chemistry, mathematics, geography and other subjects based on his memory before the accident. Before the accident, he was ill. It leads to poor memory and can only remember basic things.

At this time Huang Ziya came in. He saw Zhang Huahan's writing and said, "Boss, you are really the reincarnation of a god and man, and you have written so many miraculous things." Zhang Huahan said, "It's nothing, I wrote it down before. Isn’t there more miracles in China City in the north where the main force of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were wiped out?” Huang Ziya said, “Could it be where you came from?” Zhang Huahan said, “No, they are better than me.” He Knowing that he couldn't explain his own situation, he said directly: "I guess it's the knowledge given to us by the gods. Anyway, I automatically have this knowledge." Huang Ziya nodded and said, "Boss, the emperor wants to see you, I guess he He heard that Ma Shiying, Zuo Menggeng, and Mu Tianbo wanted him to go back to govern, so he wanted to go back."

Zhang Huahan nodded and said: "Do you think it's better for him to go back or not?" Huang Ziya said: "I think it's better to let him go back to Nanjing. We can no longer use the emperor's appeal for our expansion. We used force to seize the territory, and now if the emperor continues to be in our hands, all three of them will attack us, and there is news from Shaanxi that the Dashun Army was repulsed by the Manchu Qing Army, and now it is not our Nanming armies When there is a conflict, if we fight, the Manchus and Li Chuangjun will take the opportunity to go south, and we are all in danger. Now the emperor trusts us and allows us to carry out reforms in our territory, which is already very beneficial to us. We must follow his wishes and show our absolute loyalty to him to ensure that he will not interfere with our cause, so that we can continue our cause, so if he wants to go back to Nanjing, we should escort him back.”

Zhang Huahan smiled and said: "I think so too. Okay, I'll go and see our emperor. By the way, have you seen the principle and structure diagram of the steam engine I gave you? Can our craftsmen make it?" Huang Ziya said: "After you gave it to me, I asked the craftsman to do it on the same day. It still takes time, and the hot air balloon you mentioned takes time, and the materials are not easy to get. It's our fast guns and cannons. The manufacturing speed will be greatly improved soon. The large-scale steelmaking furnace made according to your method can directly extract a large amount of fine steel. With these fine steel, the manufacturing speed of fast guns and artillery will also increase a lot. Yes, my idea is to equip all the troops with quick guns, then we will be invincible." Zhang Huahan said: "Remember our discipline, and we must not let our quick guns flow into the hands of others. There will be no better guns. The advanced rifles and machine guns I proposed are not even thought about with our current technology. Even a single bullet in an automatic gun cannot be produced, so we must ensure that the bullets of the guns are not leaked out. The main thing is our manufacturing process, if it leaks out, all our efforts may be in vain." Huang Ziya said: "I know this, don't worry, I am all manufactured in a very secret place, and the staff and family members are all arrested. Strict monitoring and control, and the production lines are separated, not to mention high efficiency, the workers do not know how to make fast guns and bullets." Zhang Huahan nodded and said: "That's good, and the principle of the iron-clad ship I gave you It needs to be faster than the structural diagram, and the development should be as fast as the progress of the steam engine. That is our powerful weapon on the rivers and seas. Our business cannot always be controlled by the Zheng family. Without a strong navy, we can only let them make a lot of money. You have to be quick to drink the soup." Huang Ziya nodded.Zhang Huahan pointed to the textbook he wrote and said: "You should let the scholars who support us learn this knowledge first, and then gradually popularize it to children. We run free schools and teach them the things I wrote and your knowledge. Classical Chinese is known. That’s enough, we must popularize simplified characters so that all the children under our rule can learn culture.” Huang Ziya looked at Zhang Huahan with reverence on his face and said: “The leader’s goal is really great, so that our entire nation has culture. It can truly realize the civilized society that you, Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi envisioned, where everyone is the master." Zhang Huahan said, "Okay, I'm going to see the emperor, you go to prepare, on the table is the principle of my newly conceived flower bomb And the production method, it has a very good effect in the field, you let the craftsmen make it. Also, our military uniforms are green military uniforms and camouflage uniforms, which are the patterns I gave you last time." Huang Ziya said: "Got it. "

Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong's injury has healed early. Although his lower body is gone, he still has the physiological needs of men. At his request, Zhang Huahan arranged for several beauties to serve him.Accompanied by two beauties, Zhu Yousong sat on the upper seat of the side hall in his palace, and Wu Tieli, the second-rank bodyguard manager, and more than 30 bodyguards stood beside him.Suddenly a guard shouted outside: "The First Zhongyong Gong Zhang Huahan will meet you." Because there are no eunuchs here, and Zhang Huahan doesn't want people to become eunuchs just because they want to serve the emperor, so only the guards passed on the message.

As soon as Zhang Huahan came up and saluted long live three times, Emperor Hongguang immediately withdrew everyone, and when they had left, Zhu Yousong asked Zhang Huahan to come up to him and said to him: "Zhang Aiqing, Mu Tianbo, Zuo Liangyu and Ma Shiying, the bastard who harmed me, asked you to send someone to tell me. After thinking for a long time, I decided to return to Nanjing. But Zhang Aiqing, can Huang Degong bring 2 people to protect Nanjing?" Zhang Huahan said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Huang Degong is brave You are good at fighting. When you arrive in Nanjing, you can gather some soldiers and horses to defend Nanjing, and the southeast of Nanjing is the territory of the guards. If Nanjing is breached in the future, we can retreat back here." Zhu Yousong nodded and said: " I also have this plan, but I want Zhang Aiqing to protect me by my side, because if Zhang Aiqing is not by my side, I really don’t feel at ease! The only person who can save me among the thousands of horses is Aiqing. Aiqing took Aiqing’s territory I don’t care about anything that violates etiquette or even changing government agencies to establish itself. As long as Aiqing doesn’t rebel and provides food and grass needed by the court in time, I don’t care about Aiqing’s territory, and I also let Aiqing’s subordinate Huang Ziya He was named Admiral of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Huang Chunyao was named Admiral of Huguang to govern Zuo Menggeng. If Aiqing's subordinates can control these places, these places will belong to Aiqing."

When Zhang Huahan came, he had already thought that it would be beneficial for Zhu Yousong to ask for it, and he also thought that he needed to protect him by his side for various reasons, but he never thought that Zhu Yousong would benefit him so much.He wondered whether Zhu Yousong was trying to test himself, but he couldn't stand the huge temptation, so he could only say ambiguously: "It is the blessing of the minister to protect the emperor, and the minister will never hesitate to die. As for Huang Ziya and Huang Chunyao The two are also your emperor's courtiers, and I guarantee their loyalty is absolutely reliable, but such important national affairs can be handled by the emperor as you see fit, I don't have any opinions, and everything is left to the emperor's decision."

After hearing this, Zhu Yousong smiled and said: "Zhang Aiqing, you risk your life to protect me. I know that you will not forget to save me even if you don't know medical skills. Don't worry, as long as you are loyal, I will live one day. Just one day of prosperity and wealth, I will pass down the appointment of Huang Ziya and Huang Chunyao in a while, and I will officially announce it when I arrive in Nanjing. You should prepare for the return to Nanjing and leave in three days." Zhang Huahan suddenly thought of something, and said to Zhu Yousong: "Your majesty, I have one more thing to do. Zuo Liangyu, Mu Tianbo and Ma Shiying also ask the emperor to comfort you. After all, it is up to them to resist the Dashun army and the Manchu army." Zhu Yousong gritted his teeth after hearing this. "Ai Qing is right, first let the bastard Ma Shiying live two more days, one day, I will cut him into pieces to vent my hatred." After finishing speaking, Zhu Yousong gritted his teeth.

A few days later, in the dilapidated Qian Mansion in Nanjing, Qian Qianyi's big housekeeper Li Laotou knelt at the feet of Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong who was full of anger, crying and said: "Master's family was killed by the rebels. Master loves you!" Concubine Liu Ru was insulted and died by rebel soldiers, and all the valuables in the house were robbed, the emperor is the master of the dead master's family." It turned out that Ma Shiying took Qian Qianyi's family who was very flattering to the emperor when he couldn't find the emperor. To vent their anger, not only the Qian family but also many ministers and the emperor's concubines were brutally murdered. Fortunately, Ma Shiying did not faint enough to kill Zhu Yousong's two sons, but was only placed under house arrest in the Nanjing Palace. Take it as a hostage, otherwise Zhu Yousong will kill Ma Shiying even if he doesn't want the country.Angry Emperor Hongguang returned to the palace, and Ma Shiying ransacked the palace, and many of Hongguang's favorite concubines were insulted and died. Zhu Yousong looked up to the sky and shouted: "Ma Shiying, I will kill you."

A few months later, after defeating the Dashun Army and occupying southern Henan, northern Huguang, and eastern Sichuan, Ma Shiying smiled wryly after receiving the imperial decree from Emperor Hongguang to make him a general of Beiping. After dismissing him, it seems that Emperor Hongguang was reluctant to comfort himself.

And Zuo Menggeng, who cooperated with Ma Shiying's troops to attack the Dashun Army and occupied the central part of Huguang, was conferred by the emperor. He inherited his father's power but did not have any official title. He finally got a formal official title. Emperor Hongguang let him inherit his father's Ning The title of Nanhou continued to guard Wuchang and its surrounding areas.Mu Tianbo and King Gui who retreated to Yunnan received empty words and some cloth and satin as rewards.

The first, second, third, fourth, and fifth divisions of the guards, under the leadership of Gu Yanwu, Mo Xiao, Zhao Qijin, Li Erdan, and Chen Zilong, attacked the troops in the eastern and northern parts of Huzhou occupied by the Qing army. Since the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still in Shaanxi, more than 13 people attacked central Shandong in one fell swoop, and they were also rewarded by the emperor.

At the beginning of April in the eighth year of Hongguang in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongguang Zhu Yousong sat in the Hall of Martial Arts and watched the news of success from several groups of people on the table. Zhang Huahan and Wu Tieli, who were specially authorized personal guards, thought to themselves: I will be lucky if I survive a catastrophe, and these two people, especially Zhang Huahan, are my lucky generals.

Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong cheerfully said to the officials in the hall: "Bless the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, most of the lands we lost have been returned."

At this time, a minister shouted: "The minister has the book." Zhang Huahan looked down and saw Gao Zhuo, the minister who was approaching Ma Shiying.Gao Zhuo said: "The criminal minister Ma Shiying led the army to travel long distances all the way to the north and regained a large area of ​​land. Now there is only one general named Beiping who has no position or title. The name is not right. Your Majesty, please give him a position. And the title, let him perform crimes and meritorious deeds, so as not to chill the hearts of the frontline soldiers, Your Majesty." Several ministers who had good relations with Ma Shiying also knelt down and begged for a position and title for Ma Shiying.Zhang Huahan next to Zhu Yousong saw Zhu Yousong's angry face, and was afraid that he would kill all these ministers in a fit of anger, causing chaos and affecting the overall situation.He said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, now confer an official position and title on Ma Shiying, let him fight in front, and we will deal with him when it's over." Zhu Yousong actually knew that conferring an official position and title on Ma Shiying was a must, otherwise the words would be too harsh Seeing that if he took refuge in Li Chuang, the more than 20 Ming troops would become the enemy army, and his anger could not solve the problem. Zhang Huahan calmed down when he said that, and whispered to Zhang Huahan: "It turns out that he is a high-ranking and powerful man." , What kind of official title is suitable for him now." Zhang Huahan said: "Pingbeihou is fine." Zhu Yousong nodded, and then made a decree to add Ma Shiying as Pingbeihou.

After coming down to court, Zhu Yousong asked Zhang Huahan and Wu Tieli who were beside him: "Do you think I am a coward? I will give him an official position if I am a sworn enemy." Wu Tieli is a warrior with a relatively simple mind, so he doesn't know what to do Answer the emperor's words.Zhang Huahan said: "It means that your majesty is walking on the path of Mingjun. Your majesty, before the accident, you will definitely fight against your sworn enemy regardless of the cost, but you will lose the country. Now you bear it, and the country will be stable in the future. You can take care of Ma Shiying now, you are thinking about the overall situation now, with such a broad mind, Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu are not as good as you." Zhu Yousong was happy when he heard this, and felt that he was really better than Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu is strong, for the sake of the country, he endured humiliation and burdened himself, he is simply a role model for Mingjun.Zhu Yousong felt that his mood was much better, so he immediately went to read the memorial, Mr. Ming, because it's time to read the memorial that he hadn't read in ten days.
