Chapter 3 Daigo Initiation
The news of Hatis and Zhang Nianbao's captive destroyed Zhu Youlang's good mood at once.
"It seems that Bourbutai still doesn't give up. Yes, who would be willing to give up the wealth he got? I have to find a way to rescue Hatis and Zhang Nianbao. These two people have the core secrets of the core firearm. Zhang Nianbao is okay. He was originally a Han Chinese, and his self-consciousness to keep secrets should be very strong. Hatis, a foreigner, came to China just to make gold. He can't expect him to be very loyal, let alone sacrifice his life for the country. Besides, even if they are all loyal, can they bear the punishment of the Qing Dynasty?"
"Also, no matter whether you can save it or not, you must be saved. Otherwise, your reputation of paying attention to talents and science will be ruined."
Zhu Youlang returned to the cabin, sat before a kung fu tea table, and began to think about this matter.
He now knows some of the emperor's minds and learns to do things in his heart.
"It seems that we must speed up our pace, occupy Sichuan and relieve Nanjing's worries. If it goes well, if the matter goes well, the financial problems will be greatly improved. By then, the Jiangbei issue can be quickly solved."
Thinking of this, Zhu Youlang ordered: "Dingsheng, draft an order to order Chen Jitai and Ma Jixiang to immediately activate their respective intelligence networks to find a way to rescue Hatis and Zhang Nianbao."
"Abide by the order!" The middle-aged man who came to deliver the memorial just now bowed and responded.
This person is not someone else, but Chen Zhenhui, who was known as one of the "Four Young Masters of Jinling" back then.
Chen Zhenhui, whose courtesy name was Dingsheng, was from Yixing. His father, Chen Yuting, once served as the left censor of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and was the leader of the Donglin Party.
With a prominent family background and a wealthy young man, he can be regarded as a romantic and elegant "second-generation official".
At the same time, he was also a member of the Fushe Society, and his writing style was famous at the time. He was collectively known as the "Four Princes of Jinling" with Mao Xiang, Hou Fangyu and Fang Yizhi.
He once discussed with Wu Yingji and Gu Gao to denounce Ruan Dacheng. Wu drafted the "Edict on Remaining the Capital" and posted it in Nanjing, which was hated by Ruan. During the Hongguang Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he was persecuted by Ruan and was once imprisoned.
When the Qing army entered Jiangnan, Chen Zhenhui was worried about her homeland. She did not serve in the Qing Dynasty and lived in seclusion in her hometown.
After Zhu Youlang took over Nanjing, Chen Zhenhui left his hometown and revisited his hometown. He came to Nanjing and found his friend Gu Yanwu to reminisce about his old relationship.
Gu Yanwu was very happy to see him coming and quickly invited him to the village to drink and reminisce about the past.
During the meal, Gu Yanwu was extremely admired and said to Chen Zhenhui: "Brother Dingsheng, the current saint is determined to innovate, does not stick to the ancients, governing the country in a wild way, and it is difficult to find traces. Moreover, the saints have profound knowledge and far-sighted vision, far beyond our ordinary people. It is not an exaggeration to say that today is the emperor of the ages."
"The Emperor of Eternality? Is it gone? Brother Cedar, let's not talk about anything else, are you too harsh on the scholars in terms of the new policy?" Chen Zhenhui, as an iconic figure of the scholars in Jiangnan, was also a vested interest in the old system, so she was naturally very dissatisfied with the Yongli New Policy.
"Brother Dingsheng, it's not that I'm talking about you. You have suffered disasters and lived in seclusion in the countryside, studying poetry and books hard, but your knowledge still doesn't improve." Guizhuang lowered his head and played with the white porcelain wine glass in his hand, covering up the mocking look on his face, but the sarcasm in his words was completely exposed.
Guizhuang has always been like this, and if he doesn't, he will no longer call him "Guiqi".
