Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 147: Existence Is Reasonable

Lao Wu quickly took off the bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg, and gently touched the pigeon's little head to show comfort.

The pigeon cooed a few times, seeming to beg for food.

But Lao Wu couldn't care less, and ordered people to take care of the pigeons, while he trotted all the way to Zhu Jianzhuo's study.

"Your Highness, urgent report from the front line sent back by carrier pigeon!"

Lao Wu came outside Zhu Jianzhuo's study, knocked on the door, and said.

Soon, a warm and deep voice came from the study.

"Come in!"

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

Then he saw Zhu Jianzhuo sitting behind the desk, with a serious and dignified expression on his fat face.

He held a writing brush in his hand and seemed to be writing something.

Lao Wu didn't dare to look any further. He lowered his head and walked a few steps quickly before delivering the bamboo tube to Zhu Jiazhuo.

Yang He, the eunuch beside Zhu Jianzhuo, took the initiative to take the bamboo tube from Lao Wu, opened it, inspected it and presented it to Zhu Jianzhuo.

Yang He only recently came to Zhu Jiazhuo's side.

He belongs to the kind of wild eunuch who is a self-eunuch among the people.

I originally wanted to go to the capital and enter the palace to seek wealth after being castrated.

However, it is a pity that he has no money to maintain relationships, so he cannot enter the palace.

I can only return to my hometown in despair.

However, due to his physical disability, not only was he unable to use his strength when doing farm work, but he was also looked down upon and ridiculed by others. Even his own brothers despised him.

Yang He's life was very difficult.

Then, after the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, Yang He gritted his teeth and took the initiative to come to supervise the country's palace and request to serve the Ming Dynasty.

He decided to make a bet. If he won the bet, he might be Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies of the Ming Dynasty!
And losing the bet is nothing more than a cheap life!
Zhu Jianzhuo also asked people to check Yang He's life background and confirmed that he was not a spy of the Qing court, so he kept him.

He does need some eunuchs to serve him around to show his different status.

The Ming royal family still needs dignity!
There must be eunuchs to serve in the inner house.

Not to mention using eunuchs is inhumane, in this era when most people in the world still don’t have enough to eat.

There are not that many people who have enough to eat and nothing to do.

It’s far from time to discuss the inhumanity of humanity!
Everything exists and is reasonable!

It all shows that the inner palaces of the Qing Dynasty were as leaky as a sieve, but the palaces of European countries where female officials were available were a big green funnel, worse than a sieve.

At the very least, no matter how leaked the inner palace was in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperor was not cuckolded.

At the same time, European countries...

Gee, if any king has never been cuckolded, you would be embarrassed to say that you are a monarch.

The most typical example is Tsar Peter III of the Rakshasa Kingdom. As the useless husband of Catherine the Great, his hat was almost as green as the prairie.

That was before Emperor Ye rebelled.

In addition, eunuchs far surpassed palace maids in terms of physical strength and political acumen.

In many cases, the role of eunuchs was not only to serve the emperor, but also to balance the court.

From the standpoint of the emperor, Zhu Jianzhuo would not deliberately pursue the abolition of the eunuch system.

Zhu Jing'an also adopted a tacit attitude towards this.

Zhu Jianzhuo looked at the series of numbers on the note and ordered someone to get the code book and prepare to decipher it.

But when he saw the special mark on the note, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

Although the specific content of the urgent report has not yet been deciphered, as long as he saw the sign, he knew that this urgent report was good news.

Soon, a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was brought.

Zhu Jianzhuo began to decipher the cipher text in the code book.

After a while, Zhu Jiazhuo couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha!"

"Okay, okay, that's really great!"

"Our army was victorious. In the battle of Shaoguan, my son completely wiped out the soldiers and horses of Fulong'an, the imperial envoy of the Qing Dynasty. He took [-] to [-] prisoners alone."

"Hahaha, very good, very good!"

"After this battle, our Ming Dynasty has completely established its foothold in Lingnan."

This urgent report sent back by carrier pigeon simply detailed the results of the Battle of Shaoguan.

It will take a while to go through the details and it will be delivered by fast horse!

But even if it is just one result, it is enough to make Zhu Jianzhuo happy and make people in Jianguo Xingyuan feel at ease.

At this time, Zhu Jianzhuo only felt that he was right in fully supporting his eldest son's choice to take full charge of military affairs.

The Ming Dynasty had just recovered and needed a strong military figure to stabilize people's hearts through victory after victory.

Zhu Jianzhuo thought that he was not good enough and had no such talent.

In this case, the only choice is his son Zhu Jing'an.

Otherwise, if the war is fought entirely by the generals below, and military power is in the hands of people with foreign surnames, then what is the difference between him, the supervisor of the country, and a puppet like Hongguang Yongli?
Since then, even if the Ming Dynasty can recover, will the Ming Dynasty still have the surname Zhu?
Political power comes from the barrel of a gun!

Now, his son is leading troops outside, expanding his territory, and taking charge of the Ming Dynasty's military power.

And he relied on his son's prestige on the battlefield to handle the government affairs and effectively take root in the Ming Dynasty's regime.

The father and son are so perfect inside and outside, they really complement each other!
Thinking of this, Zhu Jianzhuo ordered people to get paper and pen, edit a letter, and prepare to send it to Fujian...

……

Fujian was the foundation of the Zheng family. Coupled with the Qing Dynasty's policy of moving borders and banning seas, it really cut off the livelihood of many Fujian sons.

After the Fujian people could no longer survive in the mainland, the custom of going to Nanyang to seek life was completely cut off.

As a result, the social foundation of Fujian folk's resistance to the Qing Dynasty was quite deep.

Furthermore, when Chen Yonghua founded the Tiandihui, it was originally founded in Fujian.

Therefore, the current power of the Tiandihui in Fujian is not inferior to that of Guangdong and Guangxi.

After learning that an uprising against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty had broken out in Guangdong and Guangxi, Fujian began to become restless.

Especially when the Guangdong Tiandi Hui raised the flag of righteousness and assisted the Ming Dynasty in taking Guangzhou, and the news came that the leader of the Tiandi Hui hall was banned, the Fujian Tiandi Hui's manpower began to get ready to move.

Many people began to communicate with each other in private and prepare to start an uprising.

Fuzhou General Kuilun knew this very well, but there was nothing he could do about it.

In Fujian and Guangxi, Tiandihui has no way to catch it.

Because almost everyone is a member of the Heaven and Earth Society.If you really want to strictly control the Tiandihui, you might as well just massacre the city directly.

In this way, it saves you the trouble of asking people to verify it!

Just when Kuilun was listening to music to relieve his boredom and worrying about the current situation in Fujian, a report suddenly sounded outside.

Immediately, Fuzhou Vice-Capital Tongse Lengtu walked in hand in hand with Fujian Governor Fu Gang.

"My Lord General, the sky is falling in Guangdong, why do you still have the heart to listen to music here?"

The one who spoke was Se Leng Tu, a tall Mongolian man eight feet tall, but now his face was filled with fear.

Tomizuna on the side also had a dark face and a serious look on his face.

Quillun came back to his senses and asked with a somewhat solemn expression.

"What happened over there in Guangdong? Could it be that thieves are coming to Fujian?"

Hearing this, Tomizuna shook his head.

"That's not true!"

"But the situation was even worse. Fulong'an was defeated in Shaoguan."

Now the people in this tent are all members of the Eight Banners, so they don't have any scruples about what they say, and they say whatever they want.

When Quillun heard this, he jumped up from his chair in shock. Fortunately, he was supported by the attendant on the side and did not fall to the ground.

"What is going on?"

Hearing this, Tomigona spoke with a serious expression on the specific details of the Battle of Shaoguan.

"In the middle of last month, Fulong'an led his troops south to Shaoguan and encountered the main force of Ming thieves, and a fierce battle broke out."

"The Ming thieves drove the Eight Banners prisoners of war in Guangzhou in front of the formation. Fulong'an did not dare to attack the Eight Banners. Therefore, the Ming thieves defeated our Qing soldiers in several formations, captured several short mountains south of Shaoguan Pass, and mounted artillery on the short mountains. .”

Hearing this, Quillun couldn't help but shouted.

"The thief is so brave!"

"How dare you humiliate our Eight Banners nation like this, you really deserve death!"

After hearing the news that Zhu Jing'an drove the Eight Banners prisoners of war in front of the battle, he couldn't help but feel the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, and felt the same.

It has been more than a hundred years since the Qing Dynasty was founded. How could anyone dare to humiliate the nation like this?
It’s really going to turn upside down!

Quilun was so angry that his teeth itched, but he could only speak patiently.

"Keep talking!"

Tomizuna hummed and continued.

"That night, the Ming thieves bombarded our Qing army camp with artillery, causing the camp to roar and causing many casualties."

"On the second day, the Ming thieves used artillery fire to cover up and drove our Eight Banners in front of the formation in an attempt to break the formation..."

Hearing this, both Kuilun and Se Lengtu had gloomy and scary expressions.

Quillun clenched his fists and was extremely angry!
Unexpectedly, Tomizuna changed his words.

"Fortunately, Fulong'an came out to lure the enemy deep, and then outflanked and annihilated them. Not only did he rescue thousands of old and weak Eight Banners who fell into the hands of Ming thieves, but he also killed thousands of Ming thieves in the annihilation formation. It was considered a victory for a while."

After hearing this, the expressions of Quillun and the two men improved slightly.

But only slightly, because they all knew that the news Tomizuna brought this time was bad news.

Fulong'an was finally defeated in Shaoguan!
Even if he managed to win a small victory in the process, the final outcome would definitely be bad.

Tomizuna continued.

"Subsequently, Fulong'an abandoned the camp in front of Shaoguan and led his army back to Shaoguan, preparing to defend the city."

"Originally, the battle situation was already at a stalemate. The Ming thieves suffered heavy casualties and could not capture Shaoguan. But who knew that the Ming thieves were really despicable. They sent partial troops to Guangxi in advance and entered Hunan to cut off the army's food route."

"The Ming rebels crossed Longhu Pass and broke through Daozhou. Fulong'an's army's food route was cut off. In order to reopen the food route, Fulong'an sent Hunan Admiral Weng Zhaolin back to aid Daozhou."

"After Weng Zhaolin led his troops to leave Shaoguan, Guangxi Admiral Gao Sheng and Guizhou Admiral Zhang Yong rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and Shaoguan fell."

"And Weng Zhaolin also encountered an ambush by Ming thieves on his way back to Daozhou. The entire army was wiped out, and even he himself was killed in the battle."

"Today, the situation in Guangdong is completely corrupt and irremediable!"

After hearing this, Kuilun couldn't help but shouted angrily.

"Good thieves, Gao Sheng and Zhang Yong are really good thieves."

"If it weren't for these two thieves, how could Shaoguan be captured?"

Immediately, Quillen continued to ask.

"What about Fulong'an? Did he die for his country?"

After hearing the result of the Battle of Shaoguan, Kuilun's first reaction was where is Fulong'an?

It would be okay if Fulong'an died for his country. With the power of the Fucha family in the court, it would not be difficult to get a posthumous title for him.

But what if he was greedy for life and surrendered to the Ming thief!
That would really bring shame to the Eight Banners!

When the time comes, the Fucha family may also be implicated.

And he, Kuilun, is somewhat related to the Fucha family.

When it comes to himself, Quillun can't help but care.

Hearing this, Tomizuna shook his head and said.

"Hard to say!"

"There is no detailed news about Fulong'an from Guangdong. He may have died for his country, but it may also be that he was captured alive by Ming thieves."

Se Lengtu on the side sighed and said.

"What makes me even more worried is that the Ming thieves are very clever in using their troops, outflanking the grain-breaking road, and setting up ambushes in advance to bring back reinforcements. Fulong's safety is being led by the thieves!"

"By the way, who is leading the troops over there with the thief general? How can he be so capable?"

Tomizuna took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"He is the false prince of the Ming Dynasty. His name is Zhu Jing'an. He is only eighteen years old."

"But looking at his troops, he looks like an old general. It's really scary!"

"Either this traitor is really gifted by God, or he has an expert guiding him behind his back, but no matter what, it is not a good thing for me, the Qing Dynasty."

Hearing this, Kuilun said with helplessness in his voice.

"The war situation in Guangdong and Guangxi was ruined by this son."

"This boy is really a serious problem for our Qing Dynasty!"

Tomizuna on the side heard the words and said solemnly.

"It's not just Guangdong and Guangxi. Now Fulong'an has been defeated at Shaoguan, and all the soldiers in Hunan and Guizhou have also been defeated!"

"If the Ming thieves take advantage of the situation and march towards Hunan and Guizhou, they will cause chaos in the four provinces in an instant..."
