Qing Dynasty Secret History

Chapter 19 Zheng Yanping Responds to His Father's Letter, Zhang Cangshui Refuses the General

It is said that Zheng Du listened to Zhilong's words and replied: "Why didn't I persuade him? I even cried a lot when I persuaded him not to wake up. Before leaving, he also gave me a letter. You will understand after reading it. .”

Immediately, he took out the letter, and when Zhilong looked at it, he said, "Fourth brother Huijian: Brothers have been separated for several years, gathered together for a few days, and suddenly they were kidnapped and left. The sky is evil and fate is evil!"The younger brother's many admonitions, followed by crying bitterly, can be said to be omnipotent.And my brother's loyalty to himself, not only the benefits and harms are not enough to move my heart, even the ax and the axe cannot move my will.why?It's too early to make a decision, but it's already done.The husband phoenix soars above thousands of feet, wandering leisurely in the universe, letting it do whatever it wants, it is detached from the world.Brother is old with soldiers, how can anyone give up phoenixes to tigers and leopards?But my brother is kind to his parents, don't think of his brother.The brother successfully opened the hand.

Zhilong sighed: "If I had known that he was so capable, I wouldn't have made the mistake of relying on others here."

Zheng Du said: "Liu Zhitai told him that he would not let go of the military. He still refused to agree if he did not enter the imperial court. When the two imperial envoys arrived there, he pretended to accept the order, and secretly set up an ambush to take all the land and water. The army lined up tents for tens of miles, and the two imperial envoys were too scared to escape, so how dare they read the imperial edict."

The father and son were talking, and the imperial edict was flying over the door.Zhilong hastily puts his head on and goes out.The imperial envoy walked up to the middle hall, stood facing the south, and read out: "I have given you an edict, Zheng Zhilong, Marquis of Tong'an, is cunning and cunning. He is called to his fate in public, and he has ulterior motives. I am really chilled. Wall. Here."

The imperial envoy had read the imperial decree, smiled and said to Zhilong: "This envoy is here on a mission, and the old Xun Fan must not be offended. Please pack up and wait for the servant to drive to the high wall, so that this envoy can return to order."

At this time, Zhilong was really dumb, eating coptis, it was indescribably bitter.I had no choice but to pack my luggage and lead my family to follow the imperial envoy to the high wall.

From now on, I can't take more than one step, and I can't say more than one word, and my actions and behaviors will be watched.

Although Zhilong was suffering on the high wall, his son Zheng Chenggong was in the sea, with the oars in his arms, sailing in the wind and waves, and sailing east and west, but he was as lively as a dragon and a tiger.

Take Zhangzhou, take Xianyou, take Jieyang, take Puning, and build Wuzhou City; send troops to Guangdong to rescue Li Dingguo; borrow troops and Zhang Mingzhen, take Zhoushan; change the center and left to Siming Prefecture, and the branch office to 72 towns, and set up a reserve Xianguan, Caicaiguan, Juyan Department, Guest Department, Printing Bureau, Military Weapons Bureau.All kinds of official positions are suitable for both relatives and relatives, selfless rewards and punishments, and whoever has the advantage to worship, always wears court clothes, sits in front of Emperor Yongli, resists hand burning, and worships the head nine times. his loyalty.Exactly: millet oil and wheat show, the sorrow of Jizi's subjugation;Relying on Zifang to report Han Zhijian, burning Shijie and keeping Zhao Zhixiang.Tian Heng lived on the island by himself, and the five members did not follow their father's orders.When the ambition is restored, things are even more difficult in Yashan; if you guard the lonely minister, you will not give in to the lonely bamboo.Although the Qing Dynasty had enough soldiers and food, there was nothing he could do.Because the northerners are not familiar with water, they will feel dizzy once they are in the boat.Successfully smashed the flag and supervised the general, riding the waves like flying.Therefore, the Qing Dynasty sent troops and sent generals to the sea three or five times, and almost none of them were wiped out by the whole army.Shizu had no choice but to send another person to recruit Zheng Zhilong, wrote another very earnest letter, sent his family to thank him, and followed the imperial envoy there, hoping that he would change his mind.How could I know that when the thank you form came back, it was still an empty letter.Zhilong didn't dare to hide it, and heard about Shizu.When Shizu looked at the reply letter, he saw that it said: sigh, when he didn't think about going to Yibeile, he didn't listen to his good words and threw himself into the tiger's mouth. No wonder he has today.My father survived misfortune and good fortune, and my son knew it well.The preface has been exhausted, but Xie Biao knelt and cried day and night, saying that there was no reply, so he had to affirm it because of the preface.Gai has ruled the world since ancient times, but virtue can convince people, regardless of the three generations.Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty was broad and magnanimous, and he promoted Dou Rong's sincerity; Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty Yu Yuchi respected virtue, and the court was an enemy, and he treated him with confidence at first sight; during the time of Emperor Taizu of Song Dynasty, the whole family of King Chu of Yue came to court, returned it in February, and the officials begged to leave Zhang Shu , sealed and given, all have an open-minded scale, so heroes are happy to use them.If you specialize in fraudulent power, you can convince others.But people must be convinced, and deceitful force must not be able to do it.Since entering Fujian, the loss of people and horses, the expense of money and food, the misery of the people, and the desolation of thousands of miles have been proved in the past.It has been three years since the prince poured his country, but he has no hope and supernatural power. Once he deployed troops in Baisha, the ships were sunk;Wherever the sail goes, Min'an will be there.Luo Yuan is the queen of the palace, and Ge Shang is the head of the palace. Is this fruit harmful?Good evil?It is clear without analysis.And Jiang Xiang, Jin Shenghuan, and Hai Shixing, aren't they the ones who shaved their hair?The man is upright and upright, bright and upright, as bright as the sun and the moon.Rather imitate the deceitful deeds, just take advantage of the situation, make fun of the time, try to think about the loss of countless soldiers and horses, spend unreasonable money and food, kill hundreds of millions of lives, and fight for a few hairs on the head, it is a big mistake, and also The amount is not wide.Sincerely can ignore the small and count the big, benefit the land and have enough food, intervene in our crowd, stop the soldiers and stop the people, he is not deceitful, I have no doubt.In this way, Zhengshuo of the Qing Dynasty is nothing more than the land of people's livelihood, and Qu Ye for my father.The civil servants listen to the selection of the ministry, and the money and food are in accordance with the previous agreement, and they are not just for the livelihood of the people, but for my father. Its Zhier.Children's ambitions have been firm, and it is especially true, so don't bother to fight again.Begging for forgiveness for the crime of unfilial piety.

Shizu sighed: "He is really a loyal minister, but it is a pity that there is no way to recruit him. I don't understand the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Why are there so many? Hongguang's Shi Kefa, Longwu's Huang Daozhou, and Yongli's Qu Shixu all have no criticism. Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Huangyan has always supervised the country for Lu.

He Tengyu and Zheng Chenggong, who first worshiped Longwu and later worshiped Yongli, were also indomitable.I can't bear the fact that Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo are jumping out now to help them harass.

The scene is as high as the sun, and I can't see it. "

After saying that, he sighed.Duoni, Wang of Xin County, said: "My master is rich in spring and autumn, so why make such ominous remarks. The day before yesterday, I received a report from central Zhejiang that Zhang Mingzhen had died of illness last month, and the court has eliminated another serious disaster. From now on, only Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo , Zheng Chenggong, and Zhang Huangyan. People are always against the sky. After four or five years, these people will all die, and nothing will happen."

Shizu said: "Who knows what will happen four or five years later? As far as the present is concerned, Zhang Mingzhen is dying, and he merged his troops into Zhang Huangyan, and Huangyan is strong again. Besides, Emperor Yongli, the honorary rewards can't be abused." , Sun Kewang was named King of Qin, Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan, etc. were all named kings. Those people were deceived by his kingship, and each of them did their best for him. Now Zheng Chenggong was newly named King of Yanping, and Zhang Huangyan was named Minister of the Ministry of War. It seems that the blessing of peace can only be enjoyed by the younger generation."

Bei Zi said: "The lord is benevolent and generous. It would be too generous to stay with Mingchen's family, so they dare to be so rampant. Old people like Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan's old man have not been punished. According to the humble opinion of the slave, as long as If Mingchen's family members are severely punished, they will naturally not dare."

Shizu said: "Zheng Zhilong surrendered, so there is no need to mention it. I still want to recruit Zhang Huangyan. Last month, I sent a letter to Jiang Governor Lang Tingzuo to ask him to recruit him. I don't know how it is going. These people can't beat him again. , is there any other way besides recruiting security?"

As he was speaking, Lang Tingzuo, the governor of Liangjiang, just delivered the letter. He opened it and looked at it. It roughly stated that Zhang Huangyan, the minister, said that he would not be recruited.The mediocre man listens to it, or becomes chaste because of discoloration.Otherwise, those who hold it; as a matter of course, those who want it will hate the country and the king, and those who look forward to it will be heroes.The knowledge of sages and sages makes them willing to be content with the snow every time, with courage and courage, and success in the face of death.How can there be victory in ancient and modern times? If the servant will ignore the original and not be the director, he only knows the righteousness by reading.Indignant at the country's change, shouting from the left, Jiamei mountain stands, and this ambition, if it is good, it will show the spirit of the emperor, if it is not good, it will be the integrity of the whole minister.So he did not hesitate to rely on the wind and waves to cross the front and back.So far, it has been more than a century, and the same hatred has gradually become wider, and it has become stronger in the evening.For military training, the sea is only for taking advantage of the time, so when is this time.The fall of Liang Yue, San Chu Lu Bu, Ba Min Yu Shu, Lei Ting Fei Han.Because of the rise of the servant, he helped the emperor's family and conquered Shenzhou. This is the autumn of the loyal minister and righteous man's ambition.Even if it is not the case, Xie Liangping's bamboo and silk, picked up Huang Qi's clothes, and killed him, how can flattery and nonsense be enough to move his heart!It is the deacon who is familiar with books, and regards servants as mediocre and mediocre, who can blunt the prosperity and decline.For example, the servants of tigers guard the way, and the slaves of geese keep watch at night. After being enslaved by them, they forget their sorrow.It's no wonder that the deacon is no wonder, but the servant is furious when he hears about it.The deacon solidifies my understanding, the descendant of Xun Jiu, and the orphan of death in Liaoyang.Thinking of the grace of our ancestors, how should we resent and resent; thinking of the suffering of our parents, what should we think of?A little transfer, can be regarded as a ZTE figure.The deacon forgives those who are not affectionate, and dare to attach a few lines to hear about it.

Shizu shook his head, sighed and said to his subordinates: "I think it's better to be an emperor than a monk. Just look at the Dalai Lama in Tibet, how comfortable! What an honor! How can I compare with him. One day, I will be free Wanji, choose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, burn incense and worship Buddha, realize Taoism and practice Zen, and enjoy the rest of your life, it is also very interesting."

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to answer a word.

Suddenly reported that Hong Jing played a brief report.Shizu unpacked it and saw that it was Sun Kewang, a general of the Ming Dynasty who played the game.Following the order, Sun Ke looked forward to coming to Beijing to listen to the seal.It turned out that Sun Kewang, formerly known as Kewang, was Zhang Xianzhong's subordinate.Dedicating loyalty and killing Sichuan people, Kewang, Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan, etc., once knelt down and wept to admonish him, so the people all admired him.After Xianzhong was put to death, he was expected to lead the rest of Xianzhong's tribe, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli, etc., to dominate Yunnan, and one side would dominate, calling himself the King of Pingdong.At that time, there were two treasures in Yunnan, one was written by Ren Yushi, and the other was Fang Yuxuan, the head of the Ministry of Rites.The two treasures, Ren and Fang, proposed to respect Kewang as the king.I hope to be overjoyed, so I asked him to make a brine book and set up a court ceremony.It is true that there is no tiger dog king in the mountains.The name of the country was drafted to be called Houming, and the years were counted by the stems and branches. The printed seals were reorganized into nine stacks, and coins were cast in drums, called Xingchao Tongbao.It was called Ren Zhuan as the official and military ministers, Fang Yuxuan as the editor of the Imperial Academy, Li Dingguo and others were all named kings.The two cities of Chenggong and Kunyang were demolished, and the four princes' mansions were built with bricks and stones.More than ten thousand houses were destroyed and turned into martial arts arenas.

Gather all kinds of skills, put them into the army, and steal the tuba secretly.Helplessly, Li Dingguo and others treated him as his peers, and when things happened, they would fight against each other and would not compare with each other.Hopeful called his confidant Wang Shangli, secretly said to Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu: "We have a lot of soldiers, and it's not a long-term plan. Now the people have agreed to choose Pingdong as the master, what do you think?"

Neng Qi replied that it was very good.Seeing that Neng agreed, Wenxiu didn't say anything.Ke Wang then asked the Ministry of Rites to choose a date and go to the military parade in person at the Martial Arts Field.

On this day, civil and military personnel gathered on the school grounds. The civil officials all wore python jade, and the military generals wore armor. The cavalry team, infantry team, banner team, firearms team, long spear team, short knife team, bow and arrow team, and sword team were lined up in full swing. Fire, but when it is expected to arrive, even if the gun is raised and fired.Looking at the willows on both sides of Chidao reflecting the rising sun and dancing in the wind, the greener and more lovely.

Impatiently waiting, he suddenly saw two Guandong steeds among the willows, and immediately two generals were sitting on them, flying towards them.More than ten pairs of horses in succession formed a line like shooting stars.After the pair of horses passed, they came slowly in a warm sedan chair with eight lifts and eight supports.The first two riders shouted, "The prince is here! Hurry up and fire the cannon and raise the flag."

Everyone knew that it was coming, and they waited together.Three cannons were fired on the platform, and the flag and drum officer hurriedly raised the golden embroidered flag with the word "Shuai" of the Commander of the Three Armies.

In an instant, the sedan chair landed in front of the martial arts hall.When they got out of the sedan chair, everyone was shocked.It turned out that the person sitting in the sedan chair was not Sun Kewang, but Li Dingguo, Kewang's righteous brother.Dingguo didn't refuse. As soon as he was promoted to his seat, he sent an order to start the exercise.The generals are in a difficult situation, but they are expected to come true.Seeing that the flag with the word "handsome" was raised, I felt very uncomfortable, and asked who taught the flag to be raised.The flag and drum officer reported: "I have received the order of King Li."

Kewang said angrily: "I didn't give the order, so you raised the flag and fired the cannon. You obviously don't have me in your eyeballs."

Wang Shangli said: "If the flag and drum officer doesn't obey the order, please issue an order to punish him severely, so as to warn others who don't know the king's law."

Dingguo said angrily, "What are you talking about? I am a brother to you. If you can pass on the order, I can also pass on the order. I taught him to fire the cannon, and I taught him to raise the flag. You beat the flag and drum officer." , Ming is giving me no face."

Kewang said: "Don't say you are beating the flag and drum officer, it doesn't matter if you are beating you."

The two were arguing on the stage.

Everyone was busy persuading Dingguo to come down.Kewang ascended the seat and said: "If I want to be the master, I must stick Li Dingguo with a hundred sticks. Otherwise, the military law cannot be enforced. How can I restrain the generals?"

Dingguo was even more dissatisfied, he threw up his arms, and shouted: "You want to hit me, come on! I'll compete with you."

Bai Wenxuan hugged and said: "Don't do this, it's easy to talk when you have something to say. Our brothers rely on loyalty. If we break up and break up, we will definitely be tricked by others."

On the one hand, he begged Kewang for favor, but Kewang still refused.Wang Shangli asked for fifty lashes to be reduced.Kewang said: "It's cheaper for him, just fifty lashes."

Dingguo still wanted to quarrel, Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu both knelt down and said, "Second Brother Li, if Eldest Brother reprimanded you, you will reprimand the two of us, give you fifty lashes each, how about that?"

Dingguo had no choice but to receive fifty lashes.After finishing his duties, Kewang embraced Dingguo and cried: "I want to establish military law, so I have to do this! Please forgive me, brother."

At the moment, Dingguo was ordered to lead his troops to Pu'er to Pingsha and Dingzhou.Although Dingguo was dissatisfied in his heart, because his brother's affairs had been expected for a long time, he did not rush to launch an attack, so he led his troops and horses away.

The flag is set to win, and the horse is successful. In a few days, the Wan and Sha clans in Dingzhou were all wiped out by Dingguo, and the army was strong, so Sun Kewang could not save him.At this time, the hopeful idea of ​​domination was interrupted just now, and he said with emotion: "We have been working hard for 20 years and destroying the world. How did Zhang and Li ever get an inch of land? The Qing Dynasty enjoyed the benefits of fishermen. It is really impossible to think about it. I Now we must return the country of China to the Ming Dynasty with both hands, so as to show the means of my surname Sun."

Immediately prepared 30 taels of Nanjin, four pieces of amber, and four famous horses, and sent local gentlemen Yang Weizhi and Gong Yi to pay tribute to Zhaoqing and ask for the title of king.

On the one hand, he transferred the letter to Chen Bangfu, a Ming official in Nanning, claiming that he would not allow the title, and immediately raised his troops to fight out.Chen Bangfu was terrified. After hearing the strategy of the general Hu Zhigong, he pretended to make Kewang the King of Qin, filled out an edict, cast a gold seal of "The Treasure of the King of Qin", and sent Zhi Gongzhai to Yunnan.

It is expected to be extremely happy, kowtow to accept the order, and be extremely respectful.How did you know that Yang Weizhi came back and said that the court only allowed him to be named King Pingliao.Kewang said in horror: "I have already named King Qin, how can I change to King Pingliao?"

Wei knew: "The king of Qin is a fake, it is the imperial decree passed down by Chen Bangfu. This King Ping Liao is really the emperor's grace."

Kewang was furious, and sent a message to Hu Zhigong for questioning.

Zhi Gong said: "He said that we are fake, so how can his order of King Ping Liao be true? I know that the order of the emperor to seal the prince is just Jing Guogong, and this order of King Ping Liao is just a ghost show played by Du Yinxi. "

Yang Wei knew, "As expected, the court council did not allow it. Lord Du worked so hard to issue this order. Lord Du received an order with grace, so he could have worshiped it cheaply. This order is almost as grand as the emperor's own handwriting."

Zhi Gong said: "My lord, we also have an edict, which can be used to make worship. Du Yinxi's is true, we can count it as true, ours is false. Du Yinxi's is also false."

Just as he was about to send his hair down, it was reported that Gao Bizheng, the Duke of the Xun Kingdom, had a letter coming.Kewang said in amazement: "Gao Bi is the general of Li Chuang's department. Anyway, after that, the imperial court named him Duke Xun, and he has never had any friendship with me. How come there is a letter now?
"When I took it apart, I saw it said:

In the ancestral system of this dynasty, different surnames are never crowned kings.I followed Chuang Wang to break the capital, forced the late emperor to death, and was pardoned by grace, and also became the duke.Er Zhang's family has stolen a corner, and it is enough to seal the Duke.Prince Anji, from now on, you should serve the country with me, wash away the name of the thief, and don't bully the weak court.My two scholars are quite equal.

Kewang was furious, and he ordered Weizhi and Zhigong to be imprisoned together, and he simply set up a guard team called Jiaqian Army, all the troops in the headquarters, and two battalions who called themselves Buchu, or called themselves Gu, the document descends, known as the decree of the King of Qin.All the officials wrote letters and changed their names to Qi. Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, etc. were all called younger brothers, younger brother Anxi, and younger brother Funan.They sent troops to attack Guizhou and Sichuan, and all the civil and military officials of the governor general of the Ming Dynasty were killed.

At this time, Emperor Yongli was defeated in battle, Guangzhou and Guilin were all lost, Qu Shixu and Zhang Tongchang were all martyred, and the soldiers were poor, so they had no choice but to send imperial envoys with golden books and golden seals. king.Kewang didn't agree, Emperor Yongli was against him, so he had to issue an order to make him king of Qin.Sun Kewang then dispatched Wang Aixiu, the commander-in-chief, and Biao to meet him in Guangnan; on the other hand, he sent Li Dingguo and Feng Shuangli to lead [-] cavalry to go out of Quanzhou to attack Guilin.Liu Wenxiu and Wang Fuchen rode [-] points out of Xuzhou and Chongqing to attack Chengdu.

Li Dingguo's army was unparalleled in its sharpness. Wherever it went, it was like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and Yuanjing, Wugang, and Quanzhou were completely restored.Kong Youde, a general of the Qing Dynasty, was guarding Guilin, and the guarding soldiers ran away in fright when they saw the Dingguo soldiers coming.Feeling disappointed, Youde rushed into the mansion and said to his wife: "Unfortunately, when I was young, I joined the army and wandered in the Yalu area of ​​Tieshan. I hoped to follow Marshal Mao to have a wife and seal his name forever. Unexpectedly, Marshal Mao did not believe me. , was killed by Governor Yuan, so he returned to the court. Now he has the prince's title, accepts the heavy responsibility of conscripting, and has received a lot of kindness. At this time, besides repaying the king with death, is there any other way? ?
" His wife said: "I share the grace of the emperor with you, so naturally I will die with you. "

So he set fire to himself.There were more than 120 members of the family, all of whom were burned to death.The people sacrificed the city, and Dingguo dispatched flying cavalry to report victory.The envoy came back and reported that Emperor Yongli had been stationed in Anlong.The King of Qin appointed the commander-in-chief as the king of Xining County, and Feng Shuai as the Marquis of Xingguo, and the imperial envoy will arrive in a few days.Dingguo was overjoyed.Suddenly it was reported that there were policemen in Hengzhou, and they immediately rode to rescue them.The generals of the Qing Dynasty respected the new king Kani, and their military power was greatly boosted.One day, Meteor Expedition reported that Liu Shuai and Wang Ershuai went deep into the enemy's territory and fell into Wu Sangui's treacherous scheme. They were defeated and Wang Shuai was killed in battle.

After hearing this, Dingguo sighed.Suddenly it was reported that King Qin had a mission to come.Dingguo called in, and the man said: "The king of Qin wants to meet with the prince to discuss important military and state affairs. I respectfully invite the tiger to drive to Yuanzhou immediately. Where is the king of Qin?"

Ding Guoxi said: "It's great that King Qin called me! I was thinking about him too."

After sending the envoys to the end, he issued an order to order all the troops to defend the key passes, and he rode lightly and simply followed. Just as he was about to set off, a general rushed in, wrapped his arms around Dingguo's wrist and said, "Let's go, let's decide the king of Qin." Treacherous trick, this is the old wisdom of Han Gaozu's pseudo-you Yunmeng, you can't go there!"

Dingguo was shocked.If you want to know who this person is, let's listen to the next chapter.
