Chapter 3 Decision to go eastward
Also, don’t overestimate the Qing government’s control over local areas.

It's okay to say that the Qing government can still achieve actual control over the territories under its noses such as Zhili, Shanxi, and Shandong.

But remote places like Guangdong and Guangxi, which are thousands of miles away from the capital, basically belong to the county where government orders cannot leave.

Beyond the county seat, there is local gentry autonomy.

In other words, no matter how much disturbance Zhu Jingan made in the local area, as long as he did not lead troops to capture the county seat, there would be no big trouble.

I, the officials of the Qing Dynasty, unless they really love the Qing Dynasty more than their own official hat.

Otherwise, they would definitely take the initiative to help Zhu Jingan cover up.

They are even more worried about things getting serious than Zhu Jingan!
They don't need to be taught how to cover the lid, they can do it.

After all, for the officials of the Qing Dynasty, it is instinct to deceive superiors and conceal subordinates!

In this case, Zhu Jingan will have time and space to develop military training and prepare for war with peace of mind and lay a solid foundation.

Even if he is exposed again in the future, with this period of time as a buffer, Zhu Jingan will be better able to face the Qing army's encirclement and suppression.

After listening to his son's words, Zhu Guochang nodded approvingly, but there was still surprise in his eyes.

Because he didn't expect that his son would have such a foresight and think so clearly.

You must know that before this, Zhu Jing'anke had always been a nerd who was stupid at reading.

Although he is not stupid, he is just a middle-aged person.

I absolutely cannot say such words or make such suggestions.

Zhu Guochang never imagined that his son did not suddenly become enlightened, but had unknowingly changed his core.

Zhu Guochang took a deep breath and then spoke in approval.

"What Brother An said is right!"

"The strategy of building walls high, hoarding grain, and slowing down to become king is indeed the best choice for our Ming Dynasty at the moment."

Zhu Jingan had a slight smile on his face and said no more.

He knew his father needed to think now.

After a while, Zhu Guochang asked again.

"Then, do you have any suggestions about how our Ming Dynasty should develop next, and where we should go to recuperate and lay a solid foundation?"

Hearing this, Zhu Jingan touched his chin and thought for a while before speaking.

"I think our Ming army can go east along the river to Shuangji Mountain near Jintian Town, and there will be fallen grass in the Bauhinia Mountain area."

"The mountainous terrain near Jintian Town is difficult, with high mountains and dense forests. The mountainous area is vast and easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"As long as we hide deep in the mountains, even if the Qing government sends troops to encircle and suppress us, it will be difficult to find our traces in the mountains."

"And we can safely train our troops in the mountainous area and grow our power."

"Wait until the right time, then send out troops to sweep across the world."

"Moreover, this mountainous area is close to the Qianjiang River and has convenient transportation."

"After we enter the mountain, we can control this traffic artery and collect a certain toll from merchants, ensuring that I, Daming, can have a stable source of income..."

Looking at the thoughtful expression on Zhu Guochang's face, Zhu Jingan spoke again.

"Moreover, the population in Jintian Town is relatively dense, and conflicts between locals and tourists are sharp, and large-scale armed fights often occur."

"Those who often fight with weapons, whether they are Tujia or Hakka, are the best soldiers."

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in later generations relied on tens of thousands of Guangxi old brothers who were trained through regular fighting with weapons to conquer most of the world.

He almost overthrew the Qing Dynasty.

Well, the Jintian Village during the Taiping Rebellion was not far from the Jintian Town where Zhu Jingan wanted to go.

Pretty much the same place.

If Zhu Jingan could really make good use of the fierce and capable Guangxi wolf soldiers, he might really be able to defeat the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.When Zhu Guochang heard this, he thought for a while and nodded.

"Okay, let's do this!"

"My son is going to inform Wang Chief Fu and ask him to lead people to bury the pots and make rice. He will also slaughter some of the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep on the farm so that the soldiers can have a full meal."

"After having a full meal, we will immediately set off eastward to Jintian Town."

Zhu Jingan said "Hey" and then turned around to go find Wang Shoufu.

Zhu Guochang continued to sit on the big chair, looking at his son's back as he receded, his eyes full of deep comfort.

My son is so talented, intelligent and far-sighted.

There is hope for the great cause of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty!

The case of Prince Zhu San broke out that year.

Wang Shiyuan, the pseudonym of Prince Zhu San, was arrested in Zhejiang, and his family was taken to the capital to face charges.

Kangxi randomly found a few servants who claimed to be in the Daming Palace to identify them, and quickly came to the conclusion that they were fake.

Then, he used the most cruel method to execute Wang Shiyuan and his entire family at Caishikou.

But having said that, if this person is really fake, then why did Kangxi work so hard to find him and delay him?
You know, Wang Shiyuan had been deliberately hiding it before his identity was revealed.

If he was not the real Prince Zhu, there was no need for Kangxi to have trouble with a "fake" who he was unwilling to admit his identity.

Even if you don't like it, just kill him.

There is no need to take people to the capital and wait for them to be detained.

The reason why Kangxi did this was out of a guilty conscience!
Kangxi's inconsistent words and deeds also prove that Wang Shiyuan's identity is probably true.

But is the bloodline of Prince Zhu’s family really cut off?
of course not!

Knowing that his identity is sensitive, how could Prince Zhu still keep all his children by his side?
Is it to make it easier and more convenient for the Manchus to arrest people?

For the sake of safety, after the birth of his child, Prince Zhu immediately sent reliable manpower to various places in the world for resettlement.

Only a few people are left around him.

I was afraid that the Manchus would take over from me.

Zhu Guochang's grandfather Xuanzu was one of the sons who was sent to various places in the world by the order of the third prince Zhu.

After several generations of reproduction, in order to hide their identity, the Zhu family's generation and five elements were not deliberately continued, but the legacy of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty was passed down from generation to generation.

Some hatred will not be diluted by the passage of time.

It will just be like aging fine wine, the more it brews, the stronger it becomes.

Zhu Guochang grew up with the ideological indoctrination of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. He weighed 190 kilograms and had a rebel bone mass of [-] kilograms.

Now when he found an opportunity, he turned against him.

This shows how firm his will to fight against the Qing Dynasty was.

Now that he saw his son suddenly enlightened, Zhu Guochang was happy in his heart.

Only when his son enlightens can he continue to carry forward the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty after him.

To fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, you cannot rely solely on being able to read!

……

Zhu Jingan came out of his cheap father's study and went straight to find out what Wang Shoufu had told him to do to make rice and prepare to leave.

Wang Shoufu's real name is Wang Shun, and he is actually the housekeeper of the Zhu family.

He was once a failed scholar.

 Please collect, invest, vote, and beg for all kinds of things!
