Wang Zhiren sent an urgent message from Ningbo. There was good news and bad news. Dinghai fell briefly, but was eventually recovered. The dynasty first had internal strife with Huang Binqing, but failed and surrendered. More than 10,000 of his troops were swallowed up by Huang Binqing.
Zhang Guozhu was defeated and fled, and several thousand of his troops were captured and collected by Wang Zhiren.
Wu Kai of Shipu, Wang Xiang of Haimen, Qian Sule of Ningbo and others have led their troops to gather in Dinghai, and Wang Zhiren is preparing to meet Huang Binqing's possible invasion at any time.
This time the invasion of Ningshao by King Yiyang's troops was considered a complete failure, but it could also be considered the beginning of a war. It is not yet known whether the two families will fight or make peace next.
News also came from Shaoxing. Many court ministers and celebrities who had been desperate to die for their country were inspired by Zhu Yihai's frequent victories.
Liu Zongzhou, the former censor of Zuodu, survived a week-long hunger strike. Zhang Guowei, the minister of military affairs, also rushed to the Shaoxing front line from Jinhua. Qi Biaojia, the governor of Jiangnan, also put on Ming Dynasty official robes and came out to fight against the Qing Dynasty after a week of hunger.
In addition, Chen Meng, a former bachelor of Shengxian County, Zhu Dadian, a former member of the cabinet of Jinhua, and Fang Fengnian, a bachelor of the imperial family, and many other bachelors and ministers also rushed to Shaoxing after hearing the news.
Shaoxing is very lively now. Eighteen rebel armies have rushed to Shaoxing to assist Yu Ying in setting up the Qiantang River defense line. There are also a lot of former high-ranking officials and scribes.
Now everyone is planning to hold a coronation ceremony for Zhu Yihai in Shaoxing, to officially proclaim him emperor and command the remaining half of the country.
Just after Zhu Yihai took a boat to go to sea, Zhang Guowei, Liu Zongzhou, Qi Biaojia, Chen Meng, Fang Fengnian, Song Zhipu and others formed a high-level welcoming group to welcome him to Shaoxing. However, they arrived a step late and Zhu Yihai had already led his troops to go to sea.
.
Zhang Guowei, Liu Zongzhou and other old academicians were so angry that their beards were trembling, and Huang Zongxi, Feng Jingdi and others who were staying at Meishan Village were spitting all over their faces, and they did not dare to take a breath.
But after scolding, a group of old men could do nothing. Everyone had already crossed the sea, and it was too late to say anything.
"Did His Highness leave any instructions to supervise the country before he left?"
Zhang Guowei was stunned for a moment, "His Royal Highness's will for us?"
"Well, before he left, His Highness said that you might be arriving soon, but he didn't have time to wait, so he left his message."
Zhang Guowei, Liu Zongzhou and others couldn't help but look at each other. This young Highness the Supervisor was so surprising.
From Taizhou to Ningbo, and Ningbo to Yushao, in just a few days, there was a lot of walking and a lot of important things done.
Not only did they pacify Chen Wu's rebels, but they also annihilated a troop of thousands of Tartar cavalry that had sneaked in. Now they went directly to Ninghai with the newly built 10,000 troops, and they were still expected to come.
"What's the purpose?"
Fifty-year-old Zhang Guowei is actually still in his prime, but he has worked too hard and his beard and hair are gray. He looks like he is seventy years old. This person is from Dongyang, Zhejiang, a Jinshi of Tianqi, and the governor of Yingtian, Anqing and other ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River in the seventh year of Chongzhen.
He made great achievements in water conservancy. After Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, was imprisoned, he took over as Minister of War. In the 16th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the pass and the Eighth General Military Division collapsed, so he was impeached and removed from office.
Later, when the situation became urgent, he was reinstated and added to the right as the censor of Qiandu. He rushed to the south of the Yangtze River to train troops in Zhejiang and lose pay. Beijing fell only ten days after leaving the capital. King Fu was established and ordered to assist in military affairs and supervise the capital camp. Later, he added the crown prince Taibao because of this.
Ma Shiying, the first assistant, was hostile, so Zhang Guowei begged to visit relatives and return home.
After Hongguang was captured and King Lu surrendered, Zhang Guowei wrote the words "Loyalty and filial piety cannot have both, and as a minister, friendship must die". He told his two sons that they should commit suicide together to be loyal, while the second son should be left to support his old mother and wife until he died.
filial piety.
He committed suicide by drowning, but when news came that King Lu was supervising Taizhou, his family rescued him, so Zhang Guowei took his son and rushed to Taizhou, then to Shaoxing, and now to Meishan Village.
As a result, I still haven't seen the prisoner.
"Supervise the country's decree, join Zhang Guowei as Shaofu and Crown Prince Taifu, Minister of the Ministry of War, Bachelor of Wuyingdian, and governor of Zhejiang and other local military affairs, and supervise Jiang Shang!"
"Fang Fengnian, Zhu Dadian, Chen Hanhui, Chen Meng, Qi Biaojia, Song Zhipu, and Ke Xiaqing all entered the cabinet as bachelors. Song Zhipu was the first assistant, Qi Biaojia was the second assistant, and Zhu Dadian defended Jinhua with the title of bachelor."
"Liu Zongzhou, the junior master and the crown prince's grand master, is the censor of the left capital, and Li Zhichun is the censor of the right capital of the Duchayuan."
"Chen Hanhui is also the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Li Xiangchun is the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Zhang Wenyu is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Zhengchen is the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Siren is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Yu Huang is the minister of the Ministry of War..."
"Ke Xiaqing is also the Minister of Military Affairs and the Assistant Manager of Jingying."
Sun Jiaji, Xiong Rulin, and Qian Sule had meritorious service in the uprising, and they were all appointed as censors of Youqiandu and ministers of the Ministry of War to supervise the righteous divisions of their departments.
"Liu Mu, Zheng Zunqian, and Liu Guangshi became the chief soldiers."
"Yu Ying became the governor of Zhejiang, and Huang Zongxi became the governor of Zhejiang."
"Wang Zhiren was appointed as the Governor of Beijing Camp and was granted the title of Wu Ningbo. Zhang Mingzhen was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of Zhejiang Province and was granted the title of Dongbo..."
"Zhang Guowei, Governor of Military Affairs, Supervisor of Jiang Shang!"
The edict was very long. Previously in Taizhou, the cabinet only appointed Song Zhipu as a bachelor, with Chen Hanhui and Ke Xiaqing assisting. This time, eight senior scholars including Song Zhipu were appointed.
Zhipu of the Song Dynasty, the first supporter, was the first assistant scholar, Qi Biaojia was the second assistant, and the rest were all assistant ministers.
Zhang Guowei, the governor of the ten prefectures of the Chongzhen Dynasty and the Minister of the Ministry of War, was worshiped as a scholar and the Minister of the Ministry of War. He was also the governor of Zhejiang and was specially awarded the title of Superintendent to command the troops and horses on the entire Qiantang River defense line.
Yu Ying was also officially promoted to governor of Zhejiang, supervising military affairs and managing food and wages.
Several ministers, ministers and others were also appointed.
As for Zheng Zunqian and Sun Jiaji, the leaders of uprisings in various places, Zhu Yihai also awarded them important positions and important titles. For example, Sun Jiaji, Xiong Rulin, and Qian Sule were originally only officials of the fifth and sixth grades, but this time they were all awarded directly.
The titles of Censor of the Capital and Minister of the Ministry of War allowed them to continue to lead the headquarters, and directly provided their rebels with official military establishment and food pay.
Zheng Zunqian and Liu Guangshi were both chivalrous men at first, and were directly awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief. Liu Mu, who was originally a deputy general, responded positively and led troops to capture Fuyang. This time, he was also awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief, and the three of them led the headquarters.
Each camp was given a camp number and the troops were given food and pay.
After receiving this decree, the group of big guys who came over had mixed emotions.
This arrangement of supervising the country is comprehensive. Song Zhipu is in charge of the cabinet and is responsible for drafting, Liu Zongzhou is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Zhang Guowei is a bachelor, governor, and supervisor Jiang Shang.
Zhu Dadian obtained the bachelor's degree and was responsible for the defense of Jinhua.
Yu Ying was also promoted to governor of Zhejiang.
In short, both civil and military affairs have their own arrangements.
Although some people think that Song Zhipu is not qualified to be the chief assistant of the cabinet in terms of qualifications and ability, this person is the most important hero, just like Chen Hanhui and Ke Xiaqing.
When a bachelor entered the cabinet, Chen Hanhui also served as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Ke Xiaqing also served as the Minister of Rongzheng and assisted in the affairs of the capital. They were all important positions with extremely real power.
Even if Zheng Zunqian was just a scholar, he directly worshiped the commander-in-chief this time, Liu Guangshi was just a ranger, and he also directly worshiped the commander-in-chief.
Qian Sule only served as a member of the Ministry of Justice, Sun Jiaji served as a doctor in the Ministry of War, Xiong Rulin was originally a minister in the Ministry of Household Affairs, but now he directly serves as the censor of Qiandu and a minister of the Ministry of War, and each united the battalion.
As for Huang Zongxi of Shizhong Camp being awarded the title of Supervisory Censor, patrolling Zhejiang, and Lin Shi inspecting Ningshaotai Road and Taizhou Bingbei Road respectively, everyone can actually accept it. After all, although these people were originally low-ranking and low-qualified,
However, with the merits of Conglong and the uprising, it is normal for the supervisory state to reuse them.
At least Zhang Guowei, Liu Zongzhou, Qi Biaojia, Chen Meng, Fang Fengnian and other ministers were appointed as supervisors.
Zhang Guowei also did not expect that he would be entrusted with such an important task by the prison state.
I wanted to refuse, but the prison country had already crossed the sea and headed north.
"Please ask Mr. Huang to find a boat for me. I plan to cross the sea to find the prison country." Zhang Guowei decided.
"The boss has chosen the governor of Zhejiang for your highness. The governor has all the soldiers and horses on the river."
"The soldiers and horses on the Qiantang River have always been in charge of Gong Yu. Now that Yu Gong is also worshiped by His Highness as the governor of Zhejiang and the commander-in-chief of the military equipment, it is still good that Gong Yu is in charge."
Zhang Guowei made up his mind to find Zhu Yihai.
"Sir, in fact, even if I see His Highness, His Highness will definitely not come back." Huang Zongxi said.
"Even so, I still have to stay with His Highness. As a supervisor, how can I not have cabinet ministers around me?"
Liu Zongzhou kept frowning, wanting to criticize the supervisor for his recklessness. How could the dignified supervisor ignore the court and go to the area occupied by the Tartars? It's so ridiculous. Isn't this the same as Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty?
But when I think of these feats that the supervisor has done in a short period of time, it is these seemingly reckless actions that can save the collapse so quickly and even cheer up many people's hearts.
Liu Zongzhou's heart was extremely complicated. There were many words in his heart but he could not say them out.
These old men were all extremely prestigious ministers. When the country collapsed and decayed, they all planned to commit suicide to protect the country. It was only when they heard that King Lu came out to supervise the country and wanted to resist the captives and restore the Ming Dynasty that they decided to continue to contribute.
.
They are not afraid of death.
But I am worried that this situation that was finally opened will be wasted again.
"I'm going to Haining too." Liu Zongzhou said with a green face.
"Mr. Liu, you are the imperial censor of Zuodu whom His Highness worships. You will be the commander of the Imperial Procuratorate."
Liu Zhouzong glared at Yao Jiang's filial son angrily, "Your Highness is still the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty!"
Huang Zongxi couldn't answer the sentence.
"I'll go too," said Qi Biaojia, the second assistant.
"You can stay. Song Gong has little experience. He needs help in handling cabinet affairs. You can stay and help handle cabinet affairs and draw up votes." Liu Zongzhou and Qi Biaojia were both from Shaoxing, and both of them were also known as Jingshi.
Great talents are not only leaders in the literary world and masters of Confucian classics, but also people who pursue practical application in the world. Although their official careers are bumpy, they have strong abilities in general affairs.
"Wherever the Jianguo is, we will be there, the court will be there, and we and the ministers should also be there!" Qi Biaojia said bluntly, "Now that the Ming Dynasty has arrived, the whole world is counting on His Highness the Jianguo. If the Jianguo is
If something unexpected happens, there will be no hope for the Ming Dynasty."
He said bluntly, "Since Your Highness is north of Haining, then I, the second assistant, will also be in Haining."
As soon as these words came out, no one wanted to go back to Shaoxing.
The old men all expressed excitement that they would go to Haining together.
Everyone shouted to Xiao Huang, hurry up and get the boat. We won't waste a moment and will set off immediately.
Huang Zongxi, who was hanging his arms, looked helpless and said, "I will go with you, sir!"
