Chapter 54 Fengyang Sacrifice to the Emperor's Mausoleum

The soldiers are fast, Zhang Biwu sleeps on the back of the horse even if he sleeps, and let the war horse continue to run forward.

Finally under the city of Hefei, Zhang Biwu also let people and horses rest.

Huang Qi said to Zhang Biwu: "Hefei is not far away!" Are our men and horses showing their faces in Hefei for the Qing army to see? ”

Zhang Biwu smiled and replied, "Of course! If we don't show our faces, how will they know the truth? What's more, the Qing troops along the road have detected our iron cavalry, but they have come and gone without a trace, so they can't grasp it! ”

Zhang Biwu looked at Hefei City from afar, and he let people beat drums and wave flags and shout. The people in Hefei City all showed their heads to see, and no one dared to come out, they all wondered how this army arrived?

Zhang Biwu made a fuss under the city of Hefei for an hour, and then let the whole army go east again.

The people of Hefei City did not dare to go out of the city, until Zhang Biwu's men and horses walked for a long time, and the next day, Hefei sent people out to confirm that there were no horses outside the city, so they were relieved, and immediately sent people to Nanjing to report to Duoduo.

Zhang Biwu went straight to Fengyang Mansion, Fengyang is the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, he has to come here to worship, so that he can also show that he is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he can call on others.

There was a Qing army stationed in Fengyang Mansion, the number was not very large, and they did not expect that Zhang Biwu would send troops to attack all the way, and most of them fled in defeat.

Fengyang is known as the central capital, and when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about where to establish the capital, he thought of his hometown Fengyang, so he started construction in Fengyang, and later died, and the construction of the central capital stopped. However, Fengyang is known as the hometown of the emperor, and the title of the central capital has been retained, the same as the southern capital of Nanjing. They were all extremely important places in the Ming Dynasty.

There is also the imperial tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang's parents in Zhongdu. Of course, Zhang Biwu had to go to worship. In the past, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong had attacked Fengyang and completely annihilated Zhu Guoxiang, who was guarding Fengyang, and his 4,000 men. broke Fengyang, burned the emperor's mausoleum, and even called himself: "Emperor Guyuan Zhenlong". This is clearly to compete with the Ming Dynasty!

When Chongzhen heard that Fengyang was burned, he cried and stopped the court, and repeatedly issued strict orders to exterminate the bold thieves.

As soon as Zhang Biwu came, he saw that the buildings and halls of the imperial tomb had been restored. There are eunuchs guarding here. The eunuchs trembled with fear, for they had already shaved their hair.

Zhang Biwu looked at them and asked, "Are you old eunuchs from the Ming Dynasty guarding the tomb here, or are you sent by the Tartars?" ”

A eunuch trembled with fear and said: "I, we are from the Ming Dynasty, it's just, it's just ......" Zhang Biwu understood and said: "You are eunuchs sent by the Ming Dynasty to guard the tomb, and later the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupied Fengyang." Let you continue to guard the mausoleum, but you must shave your hair and make it easy to wear. Otherwise, your life will not be saved! In order to save your life, you had to shave your hair, but you shaved your hair and guarded the imperial tomb, don't you feel indecent, right? Don't you feel ashamed? ”

It is said that these eunuchs did not dare to come out one or two, they were all kneeling, not daring to move, their whole bodies were sweating, they thought that the time of death was coming.

Huang Qi waved his hand and said, "Cut their braids!" When the eunuchs heard this, they were all terrified, they shaved their hair, and when the Manchus came back, they were all dead!

Zhang Biwu looked at the eunuchs and said, "Forget it! Cut off their braids, and they will surely be put to death! Even if they shave their hair and are easy to wear, at least they can continue to guard the tomb, and they can be regarded as loyal to the Ming Dynasty! Then spare them! ”

When these eunuchs heard this, they kept kowtowing and said gratefully, "Lord Xie Zhentai! We are really loyal to Daming, even if the hair has been shaved and the service has been easy, but we do not forget Daming! Don't forget! ”

Zhang Biwu looked at them and said, "You have to be careful about this!" Don't let anyone hear you, stab Dodor! lest he kill you all!" This man is a murderer who doesn't blink! ”

This time, I really said that I was afraid of them, they looked at me, and I looked at you. They also knew that what Zhang Biwu said was not to scare them, what Zhang Biwu said was indeed reasonable.

Zhang Biwu didn't say much to them, so he asked people to prepare to worship the imperial tomb, he had to stay here for at least one day, otherwise, how could he show his respect for the Ming Dynasty?

At this moment, Wu Xun came over and said, "Lord, we have caught two spies!" ”

"Two spies?" Zhang Biwu was wondering, and Wu Xun also said: "Yes! These two spies actually keep saying that they know you! ”

"Know me?" Zhang Biwu was stunned again, it seemed that he had to meet these two people and see who they were.

Wu Xun trotted to escort these two people and let Zhang Biwu see them.

When Zhang Biwu saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, because it was none other than Chen Zilong and Yang Youlong who appeared in front of him.

"Hah!" Zhang Biwu laughed out loud and said, "Sure enough, it's two brothers!" Think about me and I parting ways with you in Jinling, but it's been many years! ”

Chen Zilong smiled: "But isn't it? It's that we are doing nothing, but Guoxiong, you have become a great hero of the world! Or the only one among us Han people who can fight against the Tartars! It is the hope of all of us! ”

Yang Youlong also said the same: "Yes! We're so ashamed to compare ourselves to you! Kunixiong, you are good! ”

Zhang Biwu said: "Ha Lu Ha! The two brothers don't praise Guoxiong anymore! This is what Kunio should do! Zhang Biwu changed his words, and then asked: "Two brothers, I used to write to ask the two brothers to help the younger brother fight against the Qing Dynasty, and now you appear in Fengyang, I don't know if you came to Fengyang to worship the imperial tomb like me, or did you pass by Fengyang?" ”

Chen Zilong said, "Didn't we receive your letter and go north?" The two of us discussed, even if we go north to you, we have to worship the imperial tomb, and then we go north! How do you know that Lu Dao met you with Guoxiong so coincidentally! I think this is the Holy Underground of the Ming Dynasty, let us meet you here in the Imperial Mausoleum! ”

Zhang Biwu was thinking in his heart: "Collect people's hearts!" Especially celebrities like Chen Zilong and Yang Youlong, they should be devoted! I really didn't expect that as soon as I arrived at the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, I would achieve miraculous results! This is the right move! I have to pay homage to the Emperor's Tomb first! ”

Zhang Biwu bowed to the imperial tomb again and again, and said: "Zhang Biwu, the criminal minister, thank you for the two gentlemen who met Guoxiong!" ”

Chen Zilong and Yang Youlong gave a thumbs up and praised: "Ha Luha! I know that you care about the Ming Dynasty! It's my loyal servant! ”

Zhang Biwu smiled, it was really immediate, no, Chen Zilong and Yang Youlong were convinced.

Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "You don't have to talk too well to me!" That's what I'm supposed to do! Chen Zilong said: "If everyone is like Guoxiong, how could we Ming end up where we are now?" Alas! "I look extremely sorry.

Yang Youlong said the same: "Yes! What a pity! But don't worry! I think as long as we persevere, we will definitely be in the middle of the Ming Dynasty again! I'm sure I'll be able to get the Tartars out of the city! And it can restore our Liaodong! I believe in you! Kunio, that's why I'm here with Woko! ”

Chen Zilong said: "Guoxiong, you can arrange for us to do things!" No matter what you want us to do, as long as we can do it, we will never refuse! In order to save the country, no matter how hard it is, I am willing! Even if you risk this life, you don't hesitate! Yang Youlong responded approvingly: "Yes! That's right! ”

Zhang Biwu said solemnly: "That's good! I only have one request, that is, you must help me to improve Henan's economy! Let the people live a good life! As for the war, leave it to a martial artist like me! I don't want to be like the civilian clique anymore! The emperor is the constraint of the civil official group, and he unfortunately died in Sheji! And now the Ming Dynasty in the south has been repeatedly defeated by the Tartars, also because of the disunity of the civil officials, restricting each other, and losing their strength in internal friction! ”

What Zhang Biwu said is indeed a pain in pain, when we learn from the pain, we can't repeat the mistakes of the past! Yang Youlong and Chen Zilong both nodded yes.

Chen Zilong said: "Alas! In fact, when I came, I originally wanted to persuade Xia Yunyi's family to come and join General Guoxiong! Alas! Xia Yunyi committed suicide to martyr the country because of the fall of the Hongguang regime! What an abomination! If he doesn't commit suicide, it would be great if he came with me to join General Guoxiong! ”

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he was also sighing, and suddenly, he thought of the young hero Xia Wanchun! Right! Xia's father and son have won praise, so he said: "Xia Yunyi father and son ......"

Chen Zilong said, "Yes! Xia Yunyi's father and son are famous all over the world! Brother Xia's son, my student Xia Wanchun is known as a Jiangnan prodigy, famous all over the country! It's not me bragging, this disciple of mine is really peerless! Talented, especially born with a proud backbone, neither humble nor arrogant, if he is allowed to write, it must be a cultural relic like Sima Qian. On poetry, you can also become a character of Wang Wei's equation! ”

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he nodded, especially when he heard the three words Xia Wanchun, he completely agreed, and he wanted to include Xia Wanchun in the account, and he didn't want Xia Wanchun to suffer death because of his anger against Hong Chengchou.

Zhang Biwu bowed his hand and said, "Mr. Chen, I hope you can persuade Xia Wanchun to come to me!" It would be great if this prodigy could join our army in the future! ”

Chen Zilong said: "It's good! I'm going to do my best! Xia Wanchun, my proud disciple, listens to me the most and respects me the most! What a good boy this kid is! ”

Zhang Biwu smiled happily, it was a good thing to have Xia Wanchun serve him. Zhang Biwu thought that he couldn't stay here for too long, after all, Duoduo's men were coming!

There is no need to say more now, Zhang Biwu thinks that they must return to Xinyang quickly, otherwise once the Qing army is mobilized, they will not be able to leave if they want to.

Of course, he said that he would leave, after all, the news that Zhang Biwu was here had already been reported to Duoduo. (To be continued......)
