Chapter 46 Good Words for Li Yanjin

Li Zicheng was unhappy because Kaifeng was flooded, and the people rescued by Zhang Biwu and Li Yan said that Li Zhu fought for the world and harmed them, but only Li Gongzi and Zhang Shoubei were good people who really thought about them! This time, the people's hearts are towards Li Yan and Zhang Biwu. This made Li Zicheng very unhappy!

As soon as he entered Henan, he was hailed as a savior, is it necessary to reverse it now? Isn't the savior his eighteenth son? Is it Li Yan? Of course, Li Zicheng hid all this in his heart, and did not say it, treating it as nothing. Li Zicheng moved to Nanyang Mansion, and soon after, he would defeat Sun Chuanting, who had left the pass, and break through Xiangyang, and establish power!

did not mention Li Zicheng, but said that the entire Kaifeng City was soaked in water, and many corpses were floating. Only tall buildings and city walls are their primary search and rescue targets. Although they have been busy for more than ten days in a row, Zhang Biwu and Li Yan have no intention of resting at all, they want to save as many people as possible!

As for King Zhou and all the important officials, the high-ranking officials have all been taken up by Hou Sui, Wang Xie and others, and they all came to pick up people first according to the status hierarchy. When all the high-ranking people with status are taken away, it is the turn of the rich, and those who are poor, often they can only wait for death.

Fortunately, with Zhang Biwu and Li Yan, at least 100,000 people in Kaifeng were rescued because of this.

Zhang Biwu remembered that the historical record was that the river entered from the north gate and went out through the southeast gate, and the sound of the water was rushing like thunder. Millions of households in the city were flooded. However, the princess of Zhou, the prince and the patrol below, less than 20,000 people escaped. Li Zicheng's army was also drowned by more than 10,000 people, so he left the camp. Kaifeng Jiali Zhongzhou, millions of households at the beginning of the city. After the hunger and plague died twelve or thirteen, they were all drowned in the water.

Less than 20,000 out of a million people escaped. Now, because of his appearance, 100,000 people can escape this catastrophe. Coupled with the more than 10,000 people rescued by Hou Sui and others, at least 110,000 or 20,000 people can survive, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.

Li Yan happened to rescue Zhang Minbiao's grandson, and learned that Zhang Minbiao was going to open the Yellow River because he knew that he was going to open the Yellow River, and he was the one who strongly advocated that he should not do this, but no matter how he objected, it would be useless, and the Yellow River should be dug up.

Zhang Minbiao first built a bamboo raft, and his family built this bamboo raft, and he also brought all his books to the bamboo raft. I want to escape together. But Zhang Minbiao was a benevolent person after all, he saw that there were too many disaster victims, and his bodhisattva heart was together, so he let these people take a boat, but there were too many people, and his collection of books was already heavy, and finally the bamboo raft could not bear it and sank.

Zhang Minbiao drowned, but unfortunately even his collection of books was lost. He was a well-known bibliophile in the Ming Dynasty. His collection of books is very valuable, not only artistic, but also historical, economic and other aspects, and his death and the loss of all the books in his collection is a great loss.

Zhang Minbiao has the reputation of Zhang Linzong, and Lin Zong is his word. The bureaucratic gentry were proud to have obtained his paintings and calligraphy. But he has one thing in his life: he is unkind to the rich, corrupt officials, and local bullies. For the wicked, he will never write to him a painting or calligraphy. In addition, he is a philanthropic person, but he is a great benevolent man. His death is a pity.

When Li Yan heard that Zhang Minbiao wanted to save people, the bamboo raft was too heavy. After the news of drowning, he couldn't help but feel painful. He decided to raise Zhang Minbiao's grandson no matter what, and not let Zhang Minbiao break off.

Zhang Biwu was also in a heavy mood, he wanted to stop the flooding of Kaifeng, but he still couldn't stop it.

Zhang Biwu looked at Li Yan, and then said: "Brother Li, I have a sentence, I don't know if I should say it or not!" ”

Li Yan said: "Guoxiong, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Zhang Biwu said: "I did something wrong, I apologize to you first!" Because I was so anxious to save the people of Kaifeng, I forgot to notify Li Zicheng first, but instead notified Brother Li first. It seems that this will make Li Zicheng suspicious of you! Now that Li Zicheng's army has left, will he be very suspicious of you? Since ancient times, many monarchs have been able to share weal and woe but not prosperity! ”

Li Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I have voted for the generalissimo, and the distinction between me and the generalissimo has been decided, so I have to be loyal to the generalissimo!" I know that what you said today is a good word! And in order to save the people of Kaifeng, I didn't notify the generalissimo as soon as possible! I can't even do it as a courtier, let alone you are a member of the official army? ”

Li Yan said: "Okay! Guoxiong, we are destined to see you again! I'm going to lead my troops to Nanyang to meet the generalissimo! As for the victims of Kaifeng, it is all up to you Guoxiong to resettle! ”

Zhang Biwu nodded and said, "It's good!" I'll take care of it! There will be a meeting later! ”

Zhang Biwu watched Li Yan's departure, and he knew that Li Yan would be killed by Li Zicheng in the future. If it can change history and prevent Li Yan from dying, it would be the best thing, so Li Yan must be saved!

Now that there is no one on the left and right, Huang Qi really can't help it, he said with resentment: "Biwu, if we had rebelled earlier and were no longer under Chongzhen's nest spirit, we would have autonomy, and we would not let Bu Congshan and other bastards pry open the dam, so that the Yellow River would flood and Kaifeng would fall into the flood!" ”

Huang Qi stared at Zhang Biwu and said the thoughts hidden in his heart: "It's better to find a chance to turn around now!" Look at these Kaifeng people, if you turn back early, maybe the situation will be different! They may not have to suffer from the flood! Do you want to be a foolish and loyal minister like those nerds in Confucianism? ”

Huang Qi spat out a mouthful of saliva and continued: "Now the Wenchen in the court don't look at all of them as the way of Confucius and Mencius, they are loyal to the monarch and patriotic at every turn, but they are just talking about it, they are all thinking about themselves!" All fucking hypocrites! With such a corrupt court, even if the emperor is a Ming monarch and wants to be a holy monarch, it will not help! It's better to do the opposite! If it's against the damn, why not? ”

"Alas!" Zhang Biwu sighed and said to Huang Qi: "It's not that I haven't thought about rebellion, I feel more aggrieved than anyone else living in this Ming Dynasty!" But the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is very strong, and now Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are making too much trouble! Once the Manchus entered the customs, if I didn't have enough strength, how could I resist the Manchus? ”

"Rebellion is not the best way to gather strength, what can be done is to endure! It won't take long, at the beginning of Chongzhen's seventeenth year, it's OK! It's the end of fifteen years now, so just endure it for more than a year! What's more, the Ming Dynasty is still very popular in the south, and rebellion will be very unfavorable for me to fight against the Manchus in the future! In order to accumulate strength and prevent the Manchus from becoming the lord of China, I cannot rebel! If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan! ”

Zhang Biwu had this idea in mind, so he endured a lot of pain, stayed under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and endured the persecution of the suspicious emperor and the constant attacks of the corrupt bureaucrats.

Zhang Biwu pointed to Kaifeng and said, "What's more, there are more than 100,000 victims rescued in Kaifeng now!" If we rebel, who will place them? If you want to settle them well, you must rely on the big tree of the Ming Dynasty! Since I have rescued 100,000 people, it is my responsibility to get them out of trouble! ”

Zhang Biwu's eyes flashed with responsibility. Huang Qi heard Zhang Biwu say this, and he couldn't object. He sighed and said, "Okay! Then I'll accompany you to be the turtle king bastard again! Hopefully, as you say, there will only be more than a year like this! ”

Zhang Biwu is confident, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng broke Beijing, Chongzhen hanged himself, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, so he really doesn't have to wait long.

At this time, Xuan Jianhao came to Zhang Biwu and said solemnly: "Lord, have you thought about how to settle the 100,000 rescued refugees?" The court won't have the money to come down and appease them! To appease them, you need a lot of money and food. Now the soldiers can't be paid, they have no food to eat, and they still have to appease the refugees? It's hard! ”

Zhang Biwu was very firm: "I will never give up on them!" I'm doing my best to ask for help from 100,000 people! Finally rescued them from the flood demons! If I had given up on them, would I still be human? If it really doesn't work, I'll plant them in my land of one state and three counties! ”

Xuan Jianhao shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Lord! That's not the best policy! “

Zhang Biwu looked at him, came to his senses, and knew that he must have a clever plan: "Hanxing, do you have any ideas?" Speak up! ”

Xuan Jianhao said: "Lord, if we don't have money, it doesn't mean that others don't have money?" We can be stiff! The king of Henan has no oil and water to fish, and the nearest one is Shanxi! Shanxi's Jin King is located in Taiyuan, the capital of a province, and the Taiyuan Jin Chamber of Commerce gathers. Everyone in the world knows that the Jin merchants are famous, and it is a place where wealth gathers! ”

"If the lord first went to discuss with Cai Maode, the governor of Shanxi, and the king of Jin, he would move 100,000 refugees to Taiyuan and the vicinity of Taiyuan. They must oppose it, but the court has no money, and there are 100,000 refugees who can't turn a blind eye, they will protect Kaifeng for the court, and they will become refugees! Reasonably, the court can't give up on them. ”

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he shook his head and said, "Hanxing, no!" Even if 100,000 people became refugees because they helped the court guard Kaifeng, the court would be unable to pay attention to them! Empty heart and insufficient strength! Because I want money and food! It's hard! ”

"Hey!" Xuan Jianhao smiled and said, "What if we say that the flooded Kaifeng City has millions of taels or tens of millions of taels of silver and gold? You must know that Kaifeng is a rich Zhongzhou! It is the richest city in the Central Plains, and it is also the richest city in our Ming Dynasty! It's not surprising that there are 10 million taels of silver and gold! They all sank in the flooded city of Kaifeng! Not to mention silver, countless curiosities and curiosities, these are valuable, and can be sold in exchange for a lot of money to be used as military pay! ”

"Huh?" Zhang Biwu's mouth opened wide and said, "Hanxing, are you really so sure that there is wealth under Kaifeng?" (To be continued......)
