Wang Shiyuan's real name is Zhu Cihuan. He is the fifth prince of Emperor Chongzhen. After Li Zicheng conquered Beijing, his third brother and fourth brother were unknown. Wang Shiyuan, also known as Zhu Cihuan, was commonly known as Zhu San Prince. Although Zhang Huangyan had never met Prince Zhu, as a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, he would naturally worship Wang Shiyuan when he saw him.

Zhang Huangyan also heard about the third prince Zhu hiding at Hu Jinshen's home in Yuyao. He sent people to his old friend Hu Jinshen's home several times to try to bring the third prince to the Ming army base in Zhoushan, but he returned without success every time. Not only did he not receive anyone, but Hu Jinshen also repeatedly instructed Zhang Huangyan's secret envoy not to promote the position.

Zhang Huangyan was quite dissatisfied with this, feeling that Hu Jinshen did not take the safety of the third prince's safety to heart, but he was unable to attack Yuyao and brought troops to protect the third prince from the Qing army's control area. At the city of Nanjing, Deng Ming presented notes with blasting skills to Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong, and helped the Zhejiang army train thousands of soldiers, making Zhang Huangyan's strength far stronger than before sending troops. After Ma Fengzhi's uprising, he did not dare to stay in Jiangsu, nor did he dare to cross the Yangtze River to attack Jiangbei, so he led his troops south to besiege Hangzhou. After greatly expanding his troops, Ma Fengzhi now has 100,000 troops, surrounding Hangzhou. Taking advantage of Ma Fengzhi's main force of Zhejiang Qing army, Zhang Huangyan landed in Hangzhou Bay and took Yuyao directly, on the one hand to echo the troops of Ma Fengzhi under the city of Hangzhou, and on the other hand to protect Prince Zhu.

Zhang Huangyan did not dare to say that he could withstand the Qing army's counterattack, nor did he know whether Hu Jinshen was willing to abandon his property and go to Zhoushan. For the sake of the safety of his old friend's entire clan in the future, Zhang Huangyan came to see Prince Zhu San and Hu Jinshen alone. If the latter was unwilling to leave his hometown, Zhang Huangyan planned to secretly take Prince Zhu San away without revealing Hu Jinshen's righteous deeds, so as not to avoid his family being retaliated by the Qing army.

After the ceremony, Zhang Huangyan stood up, asked about Wang Shiyuan’s experience over the years, and then vented his dissatisfaction in his heart a little, blaming Hu Jinshen and said, “Why have you been slow to let the king go to Zhoushan? Is it a matter of a loyal minister and a filial son to put the king in danger?”

Hu Jinshen showed some embarrassment on his face, and hesitated and couldn't speak.

Wang Shiyuan opened his mouth and said, "Shangshu Zhang, I don't want to go to Zhoushan myself."

"Ah." Zhang Huangyan was startled, and after a moment of thought, he became even more angry, and continued to blame Hu Jinshen and said, "Are you worried that the Third Taizu would encounter danger on the road? You are so confused. Since I sent someone to pick up the Third Prince, I must be sure. Will I not encounter danger here?"

"I think it's safer here. The Tartars didn't expect me to hide under their noses." It was Wang Shiyuan who answered. His external identity was Wang Shiyuan's son-in-law. Like a concubine who had a son, this identity was extremely despised. Even the identity of the son-in-law may be worse. He took the initiative to give up his ancestors and changed his wife's ancestors as ancestors. In this era, most people are unwilling to take this downside even when they are poor and desperate. Wang Shiyuan's actions will make people around him consider him a little unpromising person. Since no one looks down on his son-in-law, naturally no one will pay attention to him.

Several times Zhang Huangyan secretly sent people to Hu Jinshen's place, but Wang Shiyuan refused to meet with the envoy and did not want Zhang Huangyan to continue contacting him. Today, he really couldn't escape, so Wang Shiyuan had to come forward in person. He believed that Zhang Huangyan wanted to use his identity as a banner and call on more gentry to rise up and resist the Qing Dynasty rule. Wang Shiyuan didn't want to be this banner at all, so he needed to make Zhang Huangyan die: "I have changed my name and surname, and I am not a king anymore. I just want to live well with my wife and children. I also ask Shangshu Zhang not to force him."

"This..." Zhang Huangyan was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He couldn't believe his ears. Zhang Huangyan himself was a hero. He stood up in his twenties and took huge risks to persuade the generals who had surrendered to the Qing court. Anyway, he later led his troops to fight with the Qing court. He fought repeatedly and defeated repeatedly. He sneered at the Qing court's repeated persuasion and revitalization of China. He never wavered. Because Zhang Huangyan was such a person, it was difficult for him to understand why Wang Shiyuan was willing to live a life of silence. It would be fine for others, but Wang Shiyuan was the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the orphan of Chongzhen. After a moment, Zhang Huangyan once again threw his anger at Hu Jinshen: "It's you! It must be you who bewitched the king. You traitor, I, Zhang Huangyan, are incompatible with you!"

"Mr. Zhang is quiet." Hearing Zhang Huangyan's voice get louder and louder, Wang Shiyuan said anxiously: "Don't let people around him hear it!"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Huangyan persuaded again: "King, this world is your ancestral property, and it was obtained by your ancestors in the wind and rain. Although the enemy is rampant now, hundreds of thousands of loyal and righteous people in the country are still fighting bloody battles with the Tartars under the banner of the court. The king is the prince of Emperor Lie. If the people of the world know that even the king is unwilling to fight for the ancestral property, what would so many soldiers think?"

"Then don't let the people of the world know that I am the prince of the late emperor." Wang Shiyuan shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, my surname is no longer Zhu. Now my surname is Wang, and I am the son-in-law of the Hu family."

"But the loyal and righteous people in the world..." Zhang Huangyan still did not give up.

"Does the loyal and righteous people mentioned by Lord Zhang also include the thieves?" Wang Shiyuan's eyes suddenly showed anger and said hatefully: "This time, Lord Zhang also joined forces with the thieves under Nanjing City and then drank and talked happily? Lord Zhang kept saying what about Emperor Lie, how about it, do you remember who forced my father to death?"

"The Li thief who advocated the rebellion has been executed." Although Wang Shiyuan's tone was full of blame, Zhang Huangyan had aroused new hope. After all, as long as Wang Shiyuan still remembers his father, he still had a chance to convince: "Now the remnants of the camp have surrendered to the court..."

"It was the Qing soldiers who avenged my father, not you!" Wang Shiyuan interrupted Zhang Huangyan and shouted: "It's fine for the Western thieves, but Longwu and Yongli, in order to compete for the world for themselves and fight for the throne of my father, even the thieves took in. Do they still have my father in their hearts?"

"King..."

Zhang Huangyan had to persuade him again, but Wang Shiyuan was impatient and stood up to show his way: "If Lord Zhang still remembers Emperor Lie, please don't reveal my life experience and don't implicate my father-in-law and wife."

After saying that, Wang Shiyuan turned around and walked back to the bedroom, while Hu Jinshen pulled Zhang Huangyan out of his son-in-law's house.

The two of them came to Hu Jinshen's study and saw that Zhang Huangyan was still in a state of dismay. Hu Jinshen persuaded: "The emperor is in power now, and there is no need for a king."

"Prince of the present, alas," Zhang Huangyan shook his head. He wanted to complain to this old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years and talk about his cowardice today. But after thinking about it, he felt that this was not the duty of a minister, so he stopped again: "Fortunately, the admiral of Jiangnan, Deng Ming, still looks like a royal family, which cheers people in the country." Zhang Huangyan believed that this name was a pseudonym, so there was no shyness when talking about it.

"Deng Ming," now this name has spread all over the world. Hu Jinshen was also excited when he heard Zhang Huangyan's words: "It's so satisfying to say that Hong Zhe died. I drank a few drinks after hearing this. At that time, I didn't know that Deng Ming was a pseudonym, and thought that Emperor Taizu Gao showed up and gave the country a good general. Later, after Deng Ming was so powerful that Hu Quancai was killed, I heard the wind saying that he was actually a royal family who had hidden his name. It was not until Deng Ming besieged Nanjing that I learned that he was the Shaofu King."

"I'm afraid it's not the Young Fu King..." Zhang Huangyan shook his head. He told Hu Jinshen that the Young Fu family was captured by the Qing army and had never heard of the rumors that his youngest son had missed the Internet. This was probably a misunderstanding: "And Deng Ming did not claim to be the Young Fu King."

"Then which king is he behind?" Hu Jinshen asked curiously.

"I don't know." Zhang Huangyan admitted: "I guess it's probably because of the long branch, and it doesn't have much appeal, so I didn't mention it."

"Is that Lord Zhang definitely a royal family?" Hu Jinshen said with some concern.

"The conversation is good, and he has a natural family style in his behavior. Moreover, the Wen Governor is not a reckless person..." Zhang Huangyan listed some of Deng Ming's performances, as well as Zheng Chenggong, Li Laiheng and others' attitudes towards Deng Ming: "And Deng Ming also spoke Fengyang dialect. If it weren't for the royal family, how could a Sichuan man say Huiyin?"

This is actually a misunderstanding by Zhang Huangyan. Deng Ming is from Tianjin and often speaks it in Tianjin local language when speaking crosstalk to the army. Tianjin dialect is very similar to Anhui dialect. In addition to Zhang Huangyan, many others also believe that Deng Ming speaks Fengyang dialect. As for the differences in the details of the two, these people either cannot hear it. Even if there are any ones, they think it is normal. Deng Ming’s palace may not be in Anhui, and his accent will of course be affected by local dialects.

"I heard that after the emperor abandoned the country, my army was also filled with people. The soldiers all discussed privately. Even the emperor did not want to fight for his ancestors. What was they doing for them to shed their blood?" When they talked about Deng Ming, Zhang Huangyan's face suddenly felt excited: "Deng Ming led the way and sacrificed his life. When he saw the children of the royal family personally, the soldiers also had fighting spirit and knew that destiny was still favoring the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, why would he surrender such a royal family? Everyone knows: no matter how arrogant the Tartars are, we can still expel the Tartars and restore the Shenzhou in the end."

As soon as he opened the conversation, he couldn't help it. Zhang Huangyan talked about Deng Ming's various performances around Nanjing with a spirit. Hu Jinshen was fascinated by the sound of his heart and sighed repeatedly on the side: "The Emperor Gao has appeared, the Emperor Gao has appeared."

"That is, as long as you see the royal family joining the battle, the soldiers will be confident a hundred times, and the loyal and righteous people are deeply encouraged; a remote clan can have such an effect, let alone the emperor, the prince? I have already written to the emperor and ask him to return to the palace to win people's hearts no matter what. I also wrote to King Lu and Zheng Yanping, hoping that King Lu can return to the front line." When he said King Lu, Zhang Huangyan's expression was slightly dark, but it was only a moment, and he said: "If the fifth prince can come out and shout,

The hearts of Zhejiang people will be greatly excited." Zhang Huangyan felt that when the scholars in the southeast, when the people saw the third prince appearing in Zhejiang like a god from heaven, there would definitely be many people who think this is a sign of the Ming Dynasty's revival. Even the Han officials who have already joined the Qing court would be greatly shocked: "Brother Hu must help me, no, he must help the Ming Dynasty. This is also good for Brother Hu's daughter and grandson. When the Ming Dynasty revival, the fifth prince is also a prince. Isn't Ling Wu the prince a princess?"

"Brother Zhang is saying!" Hu Jinshen was also infected by heroism at this time and said generously: "Brother Zhang, go back first. I will persuade the king tomorrow to ask him to come out and call on loyal and righteous people in Zhejiang."

"It's a blessing for Brother Hu." Zhang Huangyan bowed deeply to his old friend.

"Brother Zhang is so serious that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." Hu Jinshen stood up excitedly. When he and Zhang Huangyan looked at each other and smiled, tears were faintly visible in their eyes.

Unfortunately, neither Zhang Shangshu nor Hu Jinshen knew that in Deng Ming's original world, Wang Shiyuan had no idea of ​​resisting the rule of the Qing court. He was afraid of causing trouble when he fought against the Qing movement. In that world, every time Wang Shiyuan leaked his or her whisper, his identity would rekindle the fighting spirit of the people around him, and ignite the fire of enthusiasm to resist the rule of the alien race in their hearts; whether it was Siming Mountain, Ningbo, Cixi, and Wang Shiyuan every time he used to avoid disaster.

Wherever you hide, someone would stand up and fight to the death with the huge Qing court. For example, in Zhenhai, Zhang Yuehuai was just an ordinary citizen. After learning that the tenant was hidden in the third prince of Zhu, the landlord Zhang sold his property and wanted to contact heroes to support Wang Shiyuan and get up to fight with the Qing court... Unfortunately, Wang Shiyuan always disappointed these people who lost their families and sacrificed their lives. Every time Wang Shiyuan heard that others were leaving everything to help him expel the Tartars, he immediately fled away in a hurry.

After reaching an agreement with Hu Jinshen, Zhang Huangyan returned to the military camp. After handling military affairs the next day, Zhang Huangyan hesitated a little, wondering if he should have brought people to the Hu Mansion publicly during the day. Yesterday, Wang Shiyuan clearly stated that he did not want Zhang Huangyan to disclose his identity, and even brought Emperor Chongzhen out.

Just when Zhang Huangyan was hesitating, he suddenly reported that a gentry surnamed Hu was visiting.

"Please." Zhang Huangyan was delighted when he saw the famous post and hurriedly asked the guards to bring Hu Jinshen in.

"Already..." After seeing Hu Jinshen, Zhang Huangyan wanted to ask whether the other party had completed the persuasion work and whether Wang Shiyuan had agreed to change his name back to Zhu Cihuan, but Zhang Huangyan stopped after he spit out two words. He saw that his old friend's face was full of frustration.

Hu Jinshen told Zhang Huangyan that his son-in-law took his wife to the countryside early this morning, and before leaving, he repeatedly ordered his father-in-law not to reveal his whereabouts to the Ming army. Even for this matter, he would have to wait until the afternoon to report to Zhang Huangyan.

"Ah." After hearing Hu Jinshen say it, Zhang Huangyan felt like he had knocked out the five flavor bottle. Now Wang Shiyuan must have been far away from Yuyao. The only person who knew where he was going was Hu Jinshen. Obviously, this insider did not tell Zhang Huangyan about his plan.

For Hu Jinshen, who did not forget the Ming Dynasty, since Wang Shiyuan was the prince of Emperor Lie, he was still his king-father. Since it was Wang Shiyuan's order, Hu Jinshen would definitely not disobey. Even if Zhang Huangyan torture him, he would never reveal a word. For Zhang Huangyan, although he did not regard Wang Shiyuan as his king-father, as a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, he would never force the prince to do anything. He could only try his best to persuade him, and he had to give up if he could not convince him.

"Since that's the case, I don't need to stay in Yuyao for too long." Zhang Huangyan shook his head helplessly. After seeing Deng Ming's performance and the morale he aroused, Zhang Huangyan has always fantasized about repeating such a feat in eastern Zhejiang, fantasizing that he could take the banner of Ming clans in the Zhejiang army, allowing soldiers and the people to see the prince and prince in the armor.

Zhang Huangyan ordered that the people in Yuyao be moved to the coast as much as possible and then transported to Zhoushan. The people who were really unwilling to leave were evacuated outside the city to take refuge: "Send people to the Admiral Ma in Hangzhou again."

Ma Fengzhi has been in a strong position for a long time, and Dasu has arrived in Nanjing not long ago. Zhang Huangyan feels that if Ma Fengzhi cannot take Hangzhou in the short term, he should consider retreating to the coast.

"Go and ask Admiral Ma if he is willing to join me, and then attack Ningbo Prefecture together. Well, let me reveal to Admiral Ma that I have a way to quickly break through the city walls of Ningbo." Zhang Huangyan did not share Deng Ming's blasting technology with Ma Fengzhi. After all, the other party was a former Qing court official who had just been right. Zhang Huangyan still lacked trust in him, and was even more worried that his subordinates would surrender and return to the Qing court when the situation was not good: "Stop it, don't tell him too much."

...

In Nanjing, Dasu, the Qing general who was ordered to reinforce the Southeast, was deeply shocked by the situation in the Southeast after asking about the Yangtze River defense.

"Jiangning, Su Song and Jiangxi's navy were all destroyed?" Dasu had known for a long time that the situation might be bad, but he did not expect it to be so bad.

After Zheng Chenggong entered the Yangtze River, Susong Navy kept avoiding war. However, after Zheng Chenggong attacked Chongming Island, the defenders had no strength to defend the core fortress. In order not to allow Zheng's army to obtain the navy, the defenders could only destroy the ships themselves. As for the navy in Nanjing and Jiangxi, most of the navy was burned by Deng Ming's fire, and the rest were seized by the Ming army and had been taken back to Wuchang.

"Yes." Jiang Guozhu told Dasu that not only the entire Navy was destroyed, but the main force of the Qing army in the Southeast was also severely damaged and was unable to suppress Ma Fengzhi's rebellion. Fortunately, Suzhou's city was solid, and Ma Fengzhi also rushed to rise up. Due to insufficient preparations, he was unable to take Suzhou. After hearing that Dasu was about to arrive, he took the initiative to retreat to Zhejiang, and the situation around Nanjing became stable.

Before leaving, Deng Ming released all the captured prefects of Anqing and returned the Qing soldiers captured with the prefect, asking them to take Anqing back to the Qing camp, and Wuhu and other places also handled the same.

Jiang Guozhu also retained all these civil and military officials - he did not dare to detain these people at all, for fear that they would rebel with Ma Fengzhi. If such a thing really happened, Nanjing would not have the strength to suppress them.

Not only did he not dare to deal with it, Jiang Guozhu also pleaded with the Qing court for them, saying that although these people were captured and degraded, they did not betray the court like Lang Tingzuo. Now the court is using people, it is better to deal with it broadband. Jiang Guozhu also said that if the court must pursue these people's sins, then the defeated officials in the future will know that there is no way to survive and will completely turn to the Ming army.

This time, Dasu led the 10,000 northern green camps to the south. The Qing court would probably send him a reinforcement of similar numbers. The task was to attack the Zhejiang and Fujian troops as much as possible and reduce the possibility of their invasion of the Yangtze River again.

"Although Ma Fengzhi is known as one hundred thousand, he is actually a mob," Jiang Guozhu and Liang Huafeng kept complimenting Dasu: "Once the general enters Zhejiang, he can eliminate Ma Ni without any effort."

"But now that the Southeast Navy is completely destroyed, it is unlikely that the general will attack Zhoushan," Liang Huafeng offered Dasu's advice: "In the view of the last general, the general can write a letter to the court, requesting to move to Fujian and directly attack Zheng Ni's nest."

Dasu frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Isn't Zheng Ni more powerful than Zhang Ni's army? You said I can't fight Zhoushan, but I can fight Jinxia?"

"Zheng Ni and Zhang Ni have no power to fight land, and they rely on only the sea to be separated," Jiang Guozhu immediately analyzed to Dasu: "But Geng Fan's navy is strong and is already in the same position as Zheng Ni. In this battle in Jiangning, Zheng Ni's navy also suffered a lot of losses, and Geng Fan is enough to deal with it. Besides, there is a general in charge, so Zheng Ni's clown jumping into the clown, how can he do it?"

"That's right, Jinxia is only apart from the mainland, and it can be passed in two hours. As long as you climb to the ground of Jinxia, ​​Zheng Ni will have to surrender." Liang Huafeng also had a flattering smile on his face: "At the city of Jiangning, Zheng Ni's army was killed by the last three thousand generals and was defeated. How could he bear the general's thunder strike?"
