Braving the biting cold wind, Wei Dafu and the villagers all had smiles on their faces. Of course, he didn't know what kind of trouble their arrival would bring to the prince. For them who longed for freedom, this was just the right thing. Their chance at freedom!

Who would miss such an opportunity?

Once you arrive in Shenyang City, you will be safe as long as you are protected by the Ming army! You no longer have to work hard for the Jurchens!

When the people gathered in Shenyang City with such a simple idea, they did not know that their arrival would cause a fierce dispute in Shenyang City.

Should we leave them all here?

What would happen if these people were left here?

A massacre!

Hundreds of thousands of people who have been bullied over the past many years will become the dead souls of the Manchus!

Thinking of this, Zhu Guoqiang felt his eyes go dark and his breathing became a little short.

what to do?

"Your Majesty, you can place them on Changshan Island..."

"Hundreds of thousands of people crowd onto the island. What will they eat then?"

That’s hundreds of thousands of people!

It would be easy to handle tens of thousands of people, but how to resettle hundreds of thousands of refugees?

"Your Majesty, you might as well let them evacuate to Changshan first, and then slowly plan to bring them from Changshan to Shandong..."

"Xu Xu plans it, how? The next plan is to use a boat. What will happen to the food rations for so many people?"

Everyone expressed their opinions, but Zhu Guoqiang's expression looked particularly solemn.

"The people must be saved!"

After a while, Zhu Guoqiang made a decision.

"The plan must be implemented. As for what to do..."

Looking at the people in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang said directly.

"You are all my arms and brains. You come to think of solutions. If there are any problems, we can solve them together!"

All right!

Now the problem is left to you!

Let’s solve it together!

"In short, our only principle is that they are our compatriots, and we must never abandon them! Don't abandon them, don't give up, today we will take them home!"

Although I say this, things are difficult to handle!

Just when everyone was having a headache, the messenger's report came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, there is a man outside the door who claims to be Zhang Chun, the former Supervisor of the Army, Bingbei Road, and the Young Minister of Taipu Temple, asking to see him!"

The guard specifically emphasized this when reporting.

"That man was captured in the Pseudo Ancestral Temple."

"Oh? Zhang Chun, the young minister of Taipu Temple..."

Zhu Guoqiang chanted this name in his heart.

Although I have no impression of this man, in the eyes of Ming people, he is a figure worthy of Su Wu. He was captured in the Battle of Daling River in the fourth year of Chongzhen. Thirty-three officials and generals were captured at that time. , Twenty-five people were killed on the spot. When everyone saw Huang Taiji, everyone bowed to him, but Zhang Chun did not kneel down. According to the so-called "Records of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty", "All the captured officials knelt down and worshiped, except Zhang Chun. He knelt down and raised his angry bow to shoot him, saying, "Why didn't we adopt the man we captured earlier? This man wants to die and become famous, so why kill him to fulfill his ambition?" Then he left him alone." Zhang Chun refused to eat. , asked for a quick death. Although he was later taken to Shenyang and placed under house arrest in the Sanguan Temple, he never changed his original intention and showed his unyielding spirit of preferring death. | There are detailed records in various biographies about his capture and residence in Shenyang. .And Zuo's "Zhang Gong Zhuan" is particularly detailed and outstanding.

However, I don't know much about Zhu Guoqiang, but I am a little curious about him.

Shocking like a lifetime ago!

Standing in the courtyard, Zhang Chun stared blankly at the Ming troops on the left and right. Being able to meet the Ming army was far beyond his expectation. Even facing the successive incursions of Donglu, he was already desperate.

He wanted to die. In his opinion, Ming Dynasty had missed the final opportunity to negotiate peace.

Especially after learning that Huang Taiji had once again sent his troops to invade, he was so desperate that he originally planned to go on a hunger strike and die, but who would have thought that he would see the Ming army capture Shengjing.

When the soldiers broke in, he wanted to die.

When Zhang Chun walked into the room, Zhu Guoqiang looked at the thick stacks of paper on the table, each with the same words written on it.

"Zhang Chun, the young minister of Taipu Temple in the Ming Dynasty, dare not forget his father. The gods of heaven and earth will supervise him!"

For ten years, I must read every day!

Just now he specifically asked about Zhang Chun's situation. When he was under house arrest in the "Ancestral Temple", his every move and every move showed his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. He even always faced the west when sitting or standing. Every time he looked to the west, he bowed four times.

When he saw Huang Taiji, he also called him "Chief Lu". This is indeed a good deal in terms of popularity!

While sighing, Zhu Guoqiang heard words accompanying the sound of footsteps.

"The guilty minister meets His Highness the Crown Prince!"

When he saw the prince, Zhang Chun quickly bowed and saluted.

"What crime is Zhang Shaoqing guilty of? Please forgive me immediately!"

Walking forward to help Zhang Chun up, Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help but praise,

"Shaoqing has been trapped in a prisoner's nest for ten years, but he can stick to his integrity as a minister. It is really admirable!"

"The prince is ridiculous, I just have a false reputation. On the contrary, the prince led the troops to regain Shenyang today. I must have defeated the leader of Jinzhou? It seems that there is hope for the restoration of Liao..."

The reason why Zhang Chun, who had just been captured at that time, did not choose to go on a hunger strike to death was to negotiate for peace. In his opinion, only through peace negotiation can the Ming Dynasty breathe a sigh of relief and have the possibility of restoring Liao in the future. But now, Shenyang has been conquered, then

Recovering Liaodong is naturally a matter of course.

"I'm afraid this will disappoint Zhang Shaoqing. This time my Northern Expedition to Liaodong was just to take advantage of Huang Taiji's invasion of the Central Plains and Jinzhou. Taking advantage of its empty military strength, I sent troops from Yangzhou to attack Huanglong by sea. Once Huang Taiji learned the news, he returned to Shenyang...

…”

Pursing his lips, Zhu Guoqiang did not continue to explain. On the contrary, Zhang Chun was shocked for a while before he came back to his senses. Such a vast expedition to the north, this prince, but... just this courage alone makes people...

I admire him very much, no wonder I would break the ancestral system and lead the army with him.

"So, the prince is preparing to withdraw his troops?"

"The intention of marching into Shenyang this time is not to seize the city, but to defeat his ambition, vent his power, corrupt Shenyang, kill his father and son, kidnap his wife and daughter, and return his body to his own way. From then on, Jian

If any slaves have the intention of entering the invaders again, they will definitely worry that I will attack their hinterland by sea again, so they will definitely not dare to enter the invaders' pass again."

"Your Majesty is wise! If so, it is really a blessing for my Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Chun clasped his hands and complimented, then said directly as if he remembered something.

"Why can't the prince go to Lushun?"

Zhang Chun's suggestion was like a bolt of lightning, making Zhu Guoqiang's eyes suddenly light up.

Go to Lushun!

"Your Majesty, before Huang Taiji went to the expedition, he asked the lama for blessing at the Ancestral Temple. I heard him mention that the invasion of the invaders this time was different from the past. He gathered no less than four or five hundred boats in Lushun and planned to pass the sea route to defeat the invaders.
