In later generations, Pengqiao Town and even Dengzhou City, everyone knew that Peng Ershu, the Qing emperor who rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and pursued Yongli, but they did not know that in the same town, there was Wang Jian who defended the Han Dynasty, and Zhang Xun who independently supported the Tang Dynasty.

Nanyang is a place with outstanding people and beautiful places. It has been filled with historical books and heroes in this place are full of dynasties.

Only those small group of heroes who are well-known and should have been widely read are hidden in the cold history books.

Zhu Cijiong remembered Zhang again.

In history, the Zhang family was slaughtered in the early Qing Dynasty, and supported Bailian in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and was slaughtered again until the tribe scattered, and even... I forgot that they once had a resounding name - Zhang family in Baishui.

This is the only branch in history, and it occupies the names of the three prefectures (Nanyang Prefecture, Dengzhou Prefecture, and Xiangyang Prefecture).

In the late Qing Dynasty, during the Revolution of 1911, the governor of Henan defended the Qing court and sent troops to fight against the rebels in Hubei.

At that time, the Zhang family had already scattered all over the place, and was a branch of the Zhang family in Pengqiao, Dengzhou. They sold their family's land, cut off the family's survival base, and resolutely raised an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty again!

That Zhang clan member is named Zhang Hengjin!

As the guerrilla commander of Yunyang Prefecture—

But it is not found in the encyclopedia...

There are many such people in history!

Zhu Cijiong's tears fell like rain...

It is said that many dog ​​slaughterers are often slaughtering people for justice.

It is these one by one, either ordinary, or high-ranking, or great landlords, or peddlers, or even beggars...

It is these ordinary people who use their fragile shoulders and their warm chests to build a famous race that makes the world afraid - China!

It was them who forged a living name - China!

Where the righteousness lies, even if there are thousands of people, I will go.

This is the soul buried in the hearts of Chinese people...

Zhu Cijiong took a deep breath and bent down to the ground again.

"Zhu Cijiong, an unfilial son of Zhu's family, thanks all the Lords for the Ming Dynasty and China!"

What he thanked was not the group of people in front of him, but the soul of China, the one who never admits defeat. Even if it is covered with dust, it can sweep away the fishy smell and restore the pride of China!

It is precisely because of the countless such people in China that I can reshape my glory in times of crisis!

Seeing that Zhu Cijiong actually gave them a big gift, everyone was panicked:

"I dare not, but I dare not! Your Highness get up quickly, Caomin can't be like this!"

Mrs. Wang coughed lightly and winked at her youngest son.

Zhang Siyuan was over forty years old. He was supposed to be steady and his steps became much lighter: "Have you got up quickly, don't let us down."

He helped Zhu Cijiong up and pressed him on his main position.

Everyone saluted Zhu Cijiong again and then sat on both sides.

Since both sides have set their names, Zhang has to be much more cautious when he wants to do things again.

Mrs. Wang stopped talking and handed everything to her sons.

Zhang Siyuan was born to Wang. According to the legitimate and illegitimate system, he was the legitimate son of the family. He took the lead in speaking:

"Your Highness, the Qing court is now in great power and has set up garrisons in Zhucheng. We are in a hurry and it is difficult to accomplish things. If we want to fight against the Qing Dynasty, we still have to prepare for one or two..."

Zhang Siyuan couldn't say too much. Although Zhang had decided to help Zhu Cijiong fight against the Qing Dynasty, he had no soldiers, no weapons, not to mention money and food, and military intentions... all kinds of unknowns, even if the matter was in a hurry, he could not escape the defeat.

Zhu Cijiong waved his hand: "Uncle, don't worry, I know we can't do it right away!

There are three things we need to do now. First, we should train soldiers secretly. There should not be too many things. The key is to have few and exquisite. We have trained a group of elite soldiers as a template. In the future, we can expand our army when needed!

Second, develop commerce and make money. Once we get up, if the money goes out, it will be fine if we don’t have money!”

Zhu Cijiong told a joke, but the people from the Zhang family breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Wang nodded secretly. Although His Highness’s trip to the capital was dangerous, it was worth it!

With his current demeanor and scheming, there is a high chance of success!

Zhang Yan also chuckled, and there was an unconcealed joy on her face.

Jiong'er has grown up!

...

After hearing Zhu Cijiong's words, the string that Zhang Siyuan mentioned finally relaxed.

He was not afraid of anti-Qing, but his fear was that he was not prepared enough.

That time thirty years ago, he never tried it again.

The time when Zhang Shutang broke the rear, the Zhang family lost one-fifth of its manpower!

Zhu Cijiong continued: "This third thing needs my uncle to do it with all his strength."

Zhang Siyuan nodded quickly: "Please give me instructions!"

"My uncle helped me find a blacksmith. It would be better if I could build muskets, and mine seekers would also find it."

Zhu Cijiong pointed to the north: "The Qinling Mountains are vast for thousands of miles, and the inside is deserted and the mineral veins are endless. We need to find iron ore, phosphite ore, copper ore, nitrate ore, sulfur ore... etc. These are all urgently needed!"

"This is easy. The Qinling Mountains are big enough. As long as we don't go to Wuguan, we will not be exposed."

Zhang Siyuan nodded and agreed to this matter.

Zhu Cijiong continued: "Food is of great importance. My uncle also needs to send people to Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. There are sweet potatoes, corn and other things from foreign countries along the coast. Although the corn yield is not high, sweet potatoes are a good thing!"

In the era without fertilizers, corn needs water to irrigate the land before it can produce seeds, so the yield is really not high, and even a lot of dry land cannot be planted at all!

The yield of sweet potatoes is very terrible. After a little cultivation, the yield per mu is no problem - while the yield of wheat dryland is only 100 kilograms, which is a first-class paddy field, and the yield does not exceed 200 kilograms.

By comparison, you can tell that sweet potatoes are life-saving food.

"Sweet potato? But sweet potato?" Zhang Siben said in confusion:

"Your Highness, I remember when my father was an official in Fujian, he mentioned this item. He said that although the yield of this item is high, it is slightly poisonous, and it is difficult to eliminate abdominal distension after eating for a long time, and it will hurt the stomach even more."

Zhang Si was originally a concubine's son, and he was already in his fifties.

He had already remembered it when his father was an official in Fujian in the late Ming Dynasty.

"If this thing is not handled, it will indeed hurt the body, but it is not impossible to solve it."

Zhu Cijiong sighed.

Xu Guangqi and the others studied this back then, but unfortunately he died early before he found a way to deal with sweet potato toxins...

If Xu Guangqi knew that this thing only needed to be fed with oil, in other words, it would slow down the stomach acid reaction. I wonder if it would startle from the coffin board...

Zhang Siben was stunned. How could he remember that his father sighed when he mentioned this?

Also, since the side effects of this thing have been solved, why hasn’t they been promoted?
