Chapter 58 Navigation(2/2)
Zhu Dadian served as the governor of water transportation in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and his official reputation was very bad. One word: greed! He made a lot of money. However, Zhu Dadian was very good to the fellow Jinhua people. He only coveted money from the treasury, not his own fellow villagers.

The Qing army approached Jinhua, and the Jinhua people asked Zhu Dadian for advice. There was no way, he was the most powerful official.
Zhu Dadian slapped the table: "What's there to discuss? Do you want to keep the money and rat tail to worship your ancestors? I only have two words: defend the city!"
Seeing that Zhu Dadian was so bloody, the people of Jinhua followed him one after another and recruited ten thousand militiamen to defend Jinhua. The traitor Ruan Dacheng wrote a letter to recruit Zhu Dadian to surrender, and Zhu Dadian broke the letter and killed the envoy.
On June 23, General Boluo of the Qing Dynasty's Southern Campaign, and Zhang Chengren, Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, led 30,000 Manchu and Han troops to surround Jinhua. The Ming army resisted tenaciously for more than a month under the command of Zhu Dadian, until Boluo was transferred from Hangzhou.
Red cannon, Jinhua was captured.
Zhu Dadian brought his family and trusted generals to the Gunpowder Bureau, tied a rope to the gunpowder barrel, lit the fuse, and with a bang, he became a hero. Before his death, he sighed: "I will never let down the Ming Dynasty!"
When the catastrophe was approaching, many officials with good reputations were demoted to the Qing Dynasty. However, Zhu Dadian, who was known for his greed, was able to break up his family to relieve the disaster and be loyal to the country. It cannot but be said to be an irony. What is even more ironic is that the two major officials of Lu Supervisory State
The regular army, Fang Guoan surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and Wang Zhiren was killed by his own people. The ones who resisted the most resolutely were these militiamen and martyrs.
"Master Bei, these unruly people are really abominable! I'm asking for a massacre of the city." Dulde, the commander of the Qing Protectorate, was indignant.
The Qing army suffered heavy casualties in Jinhua, and Durde wanted to take revenge. This is also an old rule of the Manchus. When encountering a city with fierce resistance, it must be massacred to vent its anger.
"Go," Bolo said calmly, as if he was recounting a trivial matter. This young handsome man with a gentle and elegant appearance revealed another side of his cruel and vicious character.

In the summer at the Wusong River Estuary, the sea was calm, and a large ship sailed straight into the Yangtze River with its sails spread.
"Stop, who is coming?" the Qing army sentry boat patrol patrolling the river shouted.
"I am the Duke of Xingguo in the Ming Dynasty, and the commander-in-chief of Ningshao, Wang Zhiren."
Seeing Wang Zhiren's calm look, the junior high school thought it was another high-ranking official who came to surrender. After the Lu Jianguo voyage, there was an endless stream of former Ming officials who surrendered. The junior high school got used to it, so they quickly reported it to Wu Song's commander-in-chief Li Chengdong.
Li Chengdong did not dare to neglect and immediately transferred him to Nanjing to recruit Jiangnan University scholar Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou was a famous traitor throughout history and a great intellectual with a Jinshi background.
As a literate traitor, Hong Chou was most taboo about others calling him a traitor. How can he prevent scholars from calling him a traitor? Academician Hong came up with a good idea: drag everyone into being a traitor.
We are all considered traitors and officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so you are embarrassed to call me Hong Chengchou alone, right?
Therefore, as long as they were former Ming officials who came to Hong Chengchou to seek an official position, Hong Chengchou would approve them, and they would often give generous offers to the officials. Those who wanted to be county magistrates were given a magistrate; , the number of traitors is increasing. Academician Hong Da secretly rejoices: The world is as black as crows, and I am not the only one who will be infamy for thousands of years!
Hearing that another former Ming official had surrendered, Hong Chengchou was overjoyed and immediately received him.
"Nine good brothers, you have given up the dark side and turned to the bright side. Congratulations!" Hong Chengchou called Wang Zhiren affectionately to show his affection.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhiren made a generous statement: "Xueshi Hong has misunderstood. I am the commander-in-chief of the former dynasty. I shall die when the country is destroyed. I may be buried in a whale salamander. My death is unknown. There will be no evidence for future generations, so I came to surrender and wanted to die in the open." Ear!"
When Hong Chengchou heard this, he was ashamed and angry: You want me to kill you? What a beautiful idea! If I kill you, you will be famous in history, and I will be infamy for thousands of years? I will not do such a stupid thing! Not only will I not kill you, but I will also persuade you to surrender. , become a traitor with me, and together we will be infamous all over the world!
A funny scene appeared. Wang Zhiren wanted to die, but Hong Chengchou refused to kill him. Instead, he kept urging him to surrender.
Wang Zhiren was anxious. His whole family had died for the Ming Dynasty. He had survived until now because he wanted his family's deeds to be known to future generations. His death was not in vain! He didn't expect Hong Chengchou
This guy is so vicious that he doesn’t even want to kill himself!
"It seems like it's impossible not to scold this guy!" Wang Zhiren thought.
"Hong Chengchou, you are a thief! The late emperor gave you officials, built a temple for you, offered sacrifices to you, and protected your son. You trust me so much! You don't want to repay, but you bend your body and lead the wolf into the house! Shameless! Shameless! Hateful! Hateful!"< /p>
When Hong Chengchou heard this, his face flushed, and his murderous intent was revealed. After his defeat at Songjin, Emperor Chongzhen thought that he would commit suicide and die for the country as he was an important minister. He was very sad and set up an altar to commemorate him. Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou betrayed Emperor Chongzhen's trust. , not only did he not die, he also became a traitor. This was a lifelong shame for Hong Chengchou. Anyone who dared to say this in front of him would be killed.
When Wang Zhiren saw Hong Chengchou, his face turned red with anger. There is a way! Keep scolding!
"Hong Chengchou, you turned against the enemy, betrayed your righteousness and betrayed your kindness, broke into the house with violence, razed my mausoleum, and burned my ancestral temple. If you are guilty of a crime that reaches heaven, it will go beyond Li Ling and Wei Lu is far away!"
I can’t stand it anymore! I really can’t stand it anymore!
