Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 1 True Dragon
In June of the first year of Hongguang in the Ming Dynasty, Taizhou in eastern Zhejiang.

Linhai City.

"Since the capital of Lujian has surrendered the city of Hangzhou and surrendered the Tartars," Zhang Guojun gritted his teeth with anxiety in his tone, "we might as well surrender."

"The Tartars are still hundreds of miles away in Hangzhou, have you already scared out of your wits?" Old Zhu raised his head and said sarcastically to this pale 'big brother'.

Zhang Guojun did not refute, but his voice was a little lower, "The king of Zhou in Xiaoshan, the king of Huiji in Kuaiji, and the king of Chong in Qiantang have all crossed the river to Hangzhou to be summoned by the generals. Among the five kings of Zhejiang, there are only five kings left. I'm coming to you, King Lu." Zhang Guojun was wearing Jinyiwei's flying fish uniform and embroidered spring knife, he looked young and mighty, but at the age of thirty, he was actually only a year ago the son of a wealthy family in Ningbo, south of the Yangtze River.

"If the prince doesn't want to surrender, then we should hurry up and go south for shelter."

Even if the 30-year-old Zhang Guojun was wearing a flying fish suit and wearing an embroidered spring knife, it was only because Zhu Yihai, the King of Lu, fled from Yanzhou to the south last year, was moved to Jiangguang by Emperor Hongguang and temporarily lived in Taizhou. After marrying Zhang Guojun's sister, he invited him It's just an official title in Jinyi.

"Surrender or flee? Is there no third way?" Zhu Yihai, the 26-year-old King of Lu, stood there with raised eyebrows, as if he was asking Zhang Guojun or talking to himself.

Zhang Guojun originally thought that he sent his younger sister to the Lu Palace in Taiwan, and that he would be a relative of Daming's emperor in the future, but who would have thought that the flying fish suit on his body has not yet worn the brocade clothes, and this tartar has already broken through Nanjing first and then went to Suzhou and Hangzhou What is even more unexpected is that the four towns in Jiangbei are vulnerable, and the Emperor Hongguang of Nanjing is as weak as King Lu of Hangzhou Jianguo. Offer Hangzhou to the Qing army and surrender.

Chongzhen hanged himself in Beijing, Hongguang was captured in Wuhu, and King Lu surrendered in Hangzhou. There is no hope for this great Ming!

"The lord and the Tartars have a deep blood feud. I can understand if they refuse to surrender. Then leave as soon as possible. As the old saying goes, if there are green hills left, there is no fear of no firewood!" Zhang Guojun had no choice but to flee in addition to surrender To be honest, he still hesitated to surrender at this time. After all, the Tartars are notoriously vicious. Not to mention the killings committed by the sidelines for years, but after Yangzhou was captured this year, the retaliation against Shi Kefa's resolute resistance was the bloody massacre of Yangzhou On the tenth day, the sword was sealed, and the prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River was forcibly slaughtered into a ghost town and hell.

At this time, there are too many unknowns, not to mention that I just married my younger sister to the King of Lu. He, the uncle of the King of Lu, is not satisfied with his prestige, and he is not too reconciled. There are many industries, and it is not bad to protect King Lu to go south.

In the midsummer of June, the sun is scorching hot.

The heat wave is rolling outside, and the heat is steaming.

This garden, built in Linhai City, Taizhou, east of Jiangnan, Zhejiang Province, although very ingenious, elegant and exquisite, was once a garden that the Zhang family of Ningbo spent a lot of money to renovate the decayed Ziyang Palace in the downtown area. After King Lu came to Taiwan, he gifted it Give King Lu the mansion, but at this time it can't stop the heat wave.

Although the brown carved window lattices of the room were all open, there wasn't a trace of wind coming in. Instead, waves of heat poured in, making the room even more stuffy.

Thick carpets on the floor, large tables and chairs made of rosewood, a screen with gorgeous lacquer painting, and the precious calligraphy and painting of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty hanging on the powder wall, and the simple and elegant shelf under the painting The guqin, and the two shelves of spotless thread-bound ancient books behind the qin, and the cloisonné stove decorated with animal patterns are rising with the smoke of incense...

This room is full of silk brocade and gold and jade utensils, showing luxury and magnificence everywhere, so that even King Lu, who fled south in a hurry, can always maintain the noble face of the Ming royal family.

It's just that Lao Zhu looked at all this at this time, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it.

He is Zhu Yihai, but he is not King Lu, or in this body of King Lu, there are two souls of Zhu Yihai, one belongs to King Lu Zhu Yihai, and the other is the writer Zhu Yihai who inexplicably appeared here from later generations.

One is the tenth grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yihai, the No. 11 King of Lu in Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yihai, a history buff and internet writer. The two were originally separated by hundreds of years, so they should have nothing to do with each other. When I participated in an offline armor fighting game held by history and cold weapon enthusiasts, I was knocked to the head and passed out, and I woke up here.

He changed his body, and even had an extra memory in his mind.

After finally accepting this bizarre reality reluctantly, he was immediately faced with a more serious crisis. Although he returned to the Ming Dynasty and became a prince, the Ming Dynasty was almost over at this time.

The Qing army not only occupied Beijing, but also just occupied Nanjing, and recruited Zhu Changhao, the king of Lu who supervised the country in Hangzhou, to surrender.

Taizhou is only a few hundred miles away from Hangzhou.

In the precarious last years of Ming Dynasty, when Beijing fell to Chongzhen and hanged himself a year ago, most of the southerners of Ming Dynasty at that time thought that even if the northern captives were fierce and the bandits were powerful, it would be okay to protect half of the south of the Yangtze River. The Southern Song Dynasty was partial to the south of the Yangtze River, and it can always last for another 200 years.

But who expected the situation to collapse so quickly.

Zhang Guojun, who had just put on the Feiyu Jinyi a year ago and was still passionately pointing out Jiangshan and denouncing the northern captives, was also panicked at this time.It was only halfway through the first year of Hongguang, but all the officials, generals, common people, and gentry of the Ming Dynasty knew the ferocity and brutality of the Tartars.

And Zhu Yihai knew better than anyone else the ferocity and brutality of the Tartars. Yangzhou was not the only one in ten days, and there would be three massacres in Jiading soon, as well as countless wars and military disasters.

The No.11 generation of King Lu of the Ming Dynasty, it’s a pity that he traveled through the wrong time. At this time, the title of King Lu can no longer enjoy the benefits left by Zhu Yuanzhang, but it is a danger.

Of course, it is also a responsibility.

"Jingqing, it is impossible to surrender in this life!"

Zhu Yihai turned and sat down with a firm tone.

At this time, there were five vassal kings in Zhejiang, basically all escaped from other places. King Lu, King Zhou, King Lu, King Chong, King Hui, lived separately in Hangzhou, Xiaoshan, Qiantang, Kuaiji, Taizhou and other places. Or there were endless disputes among King Lu. In the end, Ma Shiying and the four towns in Jiangbei supported King Fu, which also laid the groundwork for the internal strife in the Hongguang Dynasty.

At that time, Zhu Changhao actually wanted to compete with his nephew Zhu Yousong for the throne, but in the end the generals who led the troops embraced King Fu, and he had to live in Hangzhou in the end.

It's just that no one could have imagined that only one year later, the Qing army broke through Yangzhou and killed the Yangtze River. Zhu Yousong abandoned the city and fled, and was finally captured in Wuhu.But the first assistant Ma Shiying fled to Hangzhou with the queen mother, so he had no choice but to support King Lu to supervise the country, but at this time, King Lu didn't want to be the emperor at all, because the Qing army had already gone all the way south, and the throne at this time was already hot. potato.

However, after Lu Wang declined but was forced to accept the position of supervisor, he surrendered to the Qing army in only five days, which shocked the world.

After Lu Wang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Zhou Huichong and the other four kings in Zhejiang immediately accepted the surrender and went to Hangzhou to meet Boluo, but Zhu Yihai was the only one who refused to surrender.

The writer Lao Zhu is of course unwilling to surrender,
King Lu Zhu Yihai also resolutely refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, because King Lu had a deep blood feud with the Qing army.

In the 15th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army invaded Guanzhong, entered Shandong, and broke through Yanzhou. General Zhu Yihai was also stabbed three times and fell among the dead, and finally survived by luck.

But his eldest son and third son were taken into slavery by the Qing army, and his first wife Zhang even committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Zhu Yihai tore open his skirt, naked from the waist up.

Immediately, three big scars on his body were revealed hideously.

One of them started from the left shoulder blade and went all the way to the right hip. The dark purple scar was shocking, and there were two short knife scars on the chest.

Zhu Yihai looked at himself in the mirror.

"The scar was cut by the Tartars. At that time, the city of Yanzhou was broken, and the Tartars entered the city, looting and slaughtering everywhere. I was stabbed three times and fell into a pool of blood..."

"The prince is blessed with great destiny, and auspicious people have their own destiny..." Zhang Guojun said.

Zhu Yihai looked at the scar, "What do you think this scar looks like?"

It wasn't the first time Zhang Guojun saw this scar, but every time he saw it, he couldn't help being shocked. It was a blessing that he survived the three swords.

"This scar looks like a snake-ridden dragon!" Zhang Guojun said, King Lu is a feudal lord, so it is of course appropriate to say that this long scar is a python dragon.

"I also think this is a dragon!"

It's not that Zhu Yihai never thought of escaping, but he quickly dispelled the idea. Escape, where can he escape?Historically, the captured Hongguang Emperor and Lu Jianguo who surrendered, and Zhou Wang Chongwang Huiwang and other kings who took the initiative to go to Hangzhou to surrender, plus the fake Prince Zhu held by Hongguang in Nanjing City, will soon be brought back Beijing temporarily appeases them for a period of time. By next year, the Tartars will eagerly find an excuse to rebel and behead them all.

Later, Emperor Longwu of Fujian was captured and killed, and Emperor Shaowu committed suicide after being captured. Although Emperor Yongli was the best at escaping, he ran from Guangdong to Guangxi, Guangxi to Yunnan, and Yunnan to Myanmar, but in the end he did not escape being surrendered to the traitor Wu Sangui was strangled to death. Although he surrendered in Burma and returned to Kunming, he was still strangled to death.

Even the third prince Zhu of the Chongzhen Emperor fled Beijing when the city was broken. He was only a teenager at the time. He was over 70 years old, but he was finally found out, and then he was still questioned and executed by the whole family.

Surrender, a dead end.

Escape, there is no way to escape.

Even if they fled to Nanyang at this time, at this time there were Dutch in Taiwan, Spanish in the Philippines, and Indonesia, Malay and other places were also colonized by Dutch and Portuguese. Even if you go to Nanyang, you can't escape.

"After the martyrdom of Emperor Lie, there was no real dragon emperor in the Ming Dynasty, so Hongguang abandoned Nanjing and fled, and King Lu offered Hangzhou Keqie. These people are extremely cowardly, and they are in vain to be the heirs of Emperor Gao.

I, Zhu Yihai, the tenth grandson of Emperor Taizu Gao, the No. 11 King of Lu in the Ming Dynasty, will never surrender to captives,

I will guard the country that Hongguang cannot defend, and I will fight the Tartars that King Lu dare not resist.

One day, I will drive out the Tartars, restore China, and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty! "

"But, but, Emperor Chongzhen Guan Ning's cavalry had millions of soldiers and horses in two capitals and thirteen provinces, but they still couldn't defend Beijing. Hongguang had four towns in Jiangbei with tens of thousands of horses, and they couldn't stop the Tartars from going south. Although His Highness The vassal king, but he has no soldiers and no generals, how can he drive out the Tartars and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty?" Zhang Guojun felt that this seemed like a big joke, and he looked at his brother-in-law seriously, wondering if he was frightened out of his wits!
