Chapter 76: Serve the Country with Devotion
Siming Mountain is the highest mountain in eastern Zhejiang, and the terrain is extremely dangerous.
It is precisely because of this that the Qing army failed to encircle Siming Mountain several times.
As long as the Qing court was not determined to send a large army to wipe out the anti-Qing forces in Simingshan in one fell swoop, He Shouyi really didn't take it seriously because of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the East Zhejiang Green Camp.
Even if you give these scum who have been accomplices of tigers for a hundred years, you can't get a mountain in Siming Mountain!
Of course, if he left Siming Mountain and let He Shouyi fight with the Qing army's green camp head-on, he would not be sure of winning.
Overall, the combat power of both sides is half a pound, and the Qing army's green camp has a slight advantage in financial resources.
But He Shouyi sent soldiers to the foot of the mountain to post notices to recruit righteous men. Unexpectedly, they turned back to the Juyi Hall after only a few hours.
There is a very strange face mixed in many familiar faces.
He Shouyi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is this person?"
"You report to the general, this person claims to be Zhang Benbing's messenger and comes from Zhoushan."
A young man quickly replied.
Zhang Benbing?
This soldier is the nickname of the Minister of War. There were many Ministers of War who were granted the title of Yongli Dynasty (just the title, there was only one official in Zhengyin Hall, and the Southern Ming liked to play this set), but there was only one Minister of War named Zhang, that was Zhang Huangyan.
In the 12th year of Yongli, the emperor sent envoys to Fujian and appointed Zheng Chenggong as the prince of Yanping County, recruited the general, and Zhang Huangyan as the Grand Secretary of the Dongge and the Minister of War.
These official positions are very famous, and everyone knows Zheng Yanping and Zhang Benbing for a while.
He Shouyi is naturally no exception.
Not long ago, Zheng and Zhang's coalition forces failed to attack Nanjing and had to withdraw to the sea.
It is said that they retreated to Zhoushan and reorganized their troops.
But this is just a rumor and no one saw it with his own eyes.
At this time, a messenger suddenly appeared, which is indeed a bit suspicious.
As the leader of the anti-Qing armed forces in the Simingshan area, He Shouyi must be responsible for his brothers.
Therefore, he must first confirm the identity of this messenger.
Otherwise, if this person was a spy from the Donglu, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"You said you were Zhang Benbing's messenger, can you have evidence?"
"Of course there is!"
The messenger of Zhang Huangyan was named Zhang Wu. As his name was, Kong Wu looked strong and had a strong body.
He carefully took out a letter from his carry-on package and handed it to He Shouyi very solemnly.
"This is Zhang Benbing's handwritten letter, so please ask General He to take a look."
He Shouyi couldn't help but look embarrassed. Although he learned all his skills, he was not literate.
Not only him, there are only a handful of people with real characters in Siming Mountain.
"Chue Xiucai, why are you still standing there? You haven't read it yet?"
Zhou Li and Xiaobian looked at Cui Xiucai beside him and rescued He Shouyi.
Cui Xiucai coughed and said, "Just read here?"
"Nonsense, the people in this Juyi Hall are all our brothers who live a life. Who can you trust?"
"General Zhou misunderstood, Cui just said casually."
Cui Xiucai was bored, and smiled bitterly in disappointment, took the envelope and took out the letter paper and opened it to recite.
"General He, General of Siming Mountain, personally launched..."
Cui Xiucai lives with a group of big and thick men on weekdays and has no place to display his talents.
At most, it is to write letters from home for the soldiers.
Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally has to perform well.
The tone he pronounced was ups and downs, and even added a lot of tone words, which made everyone stunned.
He Shouyi and Zhou Li and stared at each other with big eyes, thinking that 1 scholars can do this.
It is obviously a very simple thing, but when you write it in a letter, it makes people unable to understand it.
Fortunately, after reading it, Cui Xiucai explained it in plain language, and everyone understood the general content.
"Cui Xiucai, is this letter true?"
He Shouyi had nothing to cover up, so he asked Cui Xiucai directly.
"This letter should be true. Let's look at it. This seal is exactly the same as Mr. Cangshui's. There is no second Zhang Cangshui in the world."
Cui Xiucai swallowed a mouthful of foam and smiled and said, "Zhang Benbing also attached a poem after the letter. Should he listen to it?"
He Shouyi's eyebrows were twisted together when he heard this.
Didn’t this Cui Xiucai ask questions knowingly?
But he had to ignore it. This was not only disrespectful to Zhang Huangyan, but also easily made the messenger look down on him.
"Read it."
When Cui Xiucai saw He Shouyi being defeated, he felt a sense of pleasure.
If you are strong, you will be strong, I will be a scholar.
Don’t you show off your power on weekdays? Look how you can do it!
Now, don’t you beg me to read it to you?
"This poem is called "Manjianghong? Huaiyue Zhongwu."
Cui Xiucai deliberately paused, and he thought for a while:
The rise and fall of the fingers, the hatred of the north and the south, the yellow map disappeared, and the few people were lonely, loyal and righteous, and the ice and jade was ripe and erect. The Qiang flute rain on the side of Zhaoxin City, and the Hulu moon on the platform of Liling. It was blew and blurry, and the jade gate was blown out, and the sound was sad.
The dew in the Han Palace, the snow in the Liang Garden. Two dragons passed away, and one wool disappeared. The remaining ministers were all short of spitting. The hero swallowed the white phoenix marrow, and Gao Huaizi drank yellow sheep's blood. Try to scatter the clouds, wait for the sun to hold the center of the sun and tell the golden palace!
After he finished reading, he glanced at everyone proudly, and when he saw that there was no expression, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
These mud legs, Qiu Ba, really doesn't understand poetry.
Seeing Zhou Lihe staring at him, Cui Xiucai shivered and explained with great tactfulness: "Alas, Zhang Benbing's poem Man Jianghong is really a great example. He borrowed words to reminisce about the rise and fall of the country, but even if only one minister left to attack, he would have to swallow the white phoenix marrow and Gao Huaizi drank yellow sheep blood. He was quite as bold as Yue Wumu at that time."
Even if everyone present had never read a book, they knew who Yue Wumu was and had heard of Man Jianghong.
The word Zhang Huangyan not only pays tribute to Yue Wumu, but also expresses his own voice.
That is, no matter how difficult and difficult it is, even if there are only one soldier and one soldier left, he will fight the Donglu to the end.
The hero swallows the white phoenix marrow, and Gao Huaizi drinks the blood of yellow sheep. Isn’t this the hero’s hungry meal of the meat of the barbarians and laughs at the thirsty drinking the blood of the Huns?
Try to schedule the clouds, wait for the sun to be praised and tell the golden ge! Isn’t it just to stop, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and go to the sky?
Although imitating everywhere, there is no trace of craftsmanship.
He Shouyi felt his blood boiling, and took a deep breath and said, "Zhang Benbing is dedicated to serving the country. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is Yue Wumu of this dynasty. He wrote to this general himself, hoping that this general can serve the country as loyal as Yue Wumu!"
He Shouyi's words were all about the hearts of the generals in the Juyi Hall.
It is very difficult for them to get together here.
Not to support the Ming Dynasty, who would risk losing his head at any time to fight against Donglu?
The reason why everyone can persevere is because they have a thought in their hearts:
One day, the king's army will settle the Central Plains on the north, and they will become heroes of the revival of the Ming Dynasty.
