The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 486 Opportunity for Class Advancement

At the same time, Wu Sangui also made a breakthrough in Hunan!
Changsha City was breached by him, and a large area of ​​the state capital in Hunan fell in anticipation!

Wu Yingqi, the son of Wu Sangui, even led his troops across the Yangtze River and went to Hubei to frighten the Qing army in the north of the river.

Of course, Wu Yingqi withdrew without daring to go too deep!
But even so, the weakness of the Qing court was fully revealed.

The current turmoil is much worse than the San Francisco turmoil in history.

Even in terms of scale, it is no smaller than the Taiping Rebellion that almost overthrew the Qing Dynasty in history!
……

In Guangzhou City!

The prison country mansion!

Zhu Hongyu looked at the girl in front of him who looked quite similar to Li Lingxiu, with an interesting expression on his face.

Did Li Lingxiu send such a person here to remind him not to forget his wife and children?
He rested his elbows on the table, crossed his slender fingers in front of his face, and said with a playful look in his eyes.

"What's your name?"

When Zhu Hongyu asked the girl what to say, his eyes were fixed on Li Guangyuan who was at the side, his eyes seemed to say, your Li family is very good at playing!
Li Guangyuan spread his hands awkwardly, with a helpless expression on his face, and explained with his mouth.

My mother arranged it!
Zhu Hongyu rolled his eyes, the expression on his face was rarely lively, instead of the usual formulaic seriousness or smile.

The girl lowered her head slightly, with a shy expression on her face.

"Concubine... concubine's name is Li Qiuyue!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"Autumn Moon?"

"The east boat and the west boat are quiet and silent, only see the autumn moon in the heart of the river?"

"A nice name!"

With a false polite sentence, Zhu Hongyu waved his hand to signal the eunuch who was serving him closely to take Li Qiuyue to resettle him.

Immediately afterwards, he talked about serious matters with Li Guangyuan.

"The battle situation in Jiangxi should be decided soon. If Xia Yuankui can take down the Qing army in Ningdu Prefecture, then the overall situation in Jiangxi has been settled!"

Li Guangyuan nodded and said.

"What Your Highness said is true!"

"After the war in Ningdu Prefecture is over, as long as Nanchang and Jiujiang can be captured again, the war in Jiangxi will be considered over."

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and discussed with Li Guangyuan the specific matters of the Jiangxi war and the decisive battle that would break out later.

At this moment, the guards at the gate came in to report, and Zhou Tianxu, the Commander of Jinyiwei, asked to see him outside.

Zhu Hongyu nodded, and then spoke.

"Bring people in!"

Not long after, Zhou Tianxu straightened his robes and strode into Zhu Hongyu's office with a very obvious smile on his face.

Zhu Hongyu asked.

"what happened?"

"Looking at your expression, what's the matter?"

Zhou Tianxu presented a memorial to Zhu Hongyu, then took a few steps back and spoke.

"Your Highness, it's news from the capital!"

"The secret line in the capital launched an assassination operation to retaliate against the Qing court's assassination of His Highness, and the operation was successful."

"They succeeded in killing Bumbutai..."

When Zhu Hongyu heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly.

Picking up the report sent by Zhou Tianxu and flipping through it.

When he saw Jin Yiwei's special operations team enter the imperial city through a tunnel, pretending to be an imperial doctor, and breaking into the Qing court at night.

After the news that they stormed the Qianqing Palace, killed Bumbutai, and all died heroically.

Zhu Hongyu felt a little sentimental.

In this great country and great nation, there has never been a lack of people who dare to die bravely.

For the sake of the country, for the nation, even if they know that they must die, they will go up without hesitation!

Even if you know, you will pay your life as the price after you go up to the top!

Didn’t Jin Yiwei’s secret agents in the capital know that when they entered the palace to assassinate Bumbutai and Kangxi, no matter whether the mission succeeded or failed, they would surely die?
The answer is obvious!
It is impossible for them not to know!

That's the imperial palace. Since ancient times, who entered the imperial palace to assassinate and escaped unscathed?
However, after receiving the order from the upper line, almost all the people on Wu Tong's line were scrambling to sign up and participate in the action.

It seems that what they are fighting for is to receive the prize, not to die!

Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath and put down the report in his hand, with a somewhat emotional expression on his face.

"Pity!"

I just don't know whether Zhu Hongyu is regretting the heroic sacrifice of Wu Tong and others, or regretting that they failed to kill Bu Mu Butai and at the same time they simply killed Kang Mazi...

"If I remember correctly, Wu Tong has a son, right?"

Zhu Hongyu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then was slightly taken aback. The usually fragrant tea tasted a bit bitter at this time.

Zhou Tianxu bowed slightly and spoke.

"Yes Your Highness!"

"Wu Tong has a son who is seven years old this year."

Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, and said with some sadness in his tone.

"Families of martyrs must be settled well, and they must receive preferential treatment in education, medical care, and imperial examinations!"

"For those who sacrificed their martyrs, they must be honored and mourned!"

"My Daming will never treat any meritorious official badly. As long as he sacrifices for Daming, his family will receive the best care."

Zhou Tianxu clasped his fists and prepared to retreat.

Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision, he spoke.

"Chasing Wu Tong as a Baron!"

"The rest of the people also pursued a lord each, and rewarded a certain amount of land and acres of silver."

"They sacrificed for Daming, then give titles, rewards, to their children, to their parents, to their wives, brothers!"

"It must be carried out, and we can't let the brothers below bleed and cry!"

"..."

"Here!"

Wang Ruxian took the order and wrote down Zhu Hongyu's instructions.

The rewards that Zhu Hongyu mentioned, such as gold and silver fields and acres, are actually extras.

The posthumous title is the key!
Daming is a feudal country, there is no doubt about it.

In a feudal country, the social status is completely different between those who have a title and those who do not.

A title can achieve a leap in social class, it's not just talk!

Why has Ming's science and technology progressed so fast in recent years?
Except that Zhu Hongyu gave a specific research and development direction, and used his own knowledge 400 years in advance to pave the way for researchers to lay a scientific basic structure.

The main reason is actually because Zhu Hongyu used the title as bait to hang in front of everyone!
The title of Daming, if you get the title, you will be able to achieve a class leap.

Who can not care about it?

Of course, in this case, Zhu Hongyu's title was not given casually.

In good conscience, the contributions made by Wu Tong and others are eligible to be knighted.

After all, they successfully assassinated Bumbutai.

To a certain extent, changing the political situation of the Qing court even affected the situation in the world.

What's more, in this assassination mission, these participants all went with the determination to die.

As a result, none of them survived!

Even if it was just to buy horse bones for a thousand dollars, Zhu Hongyu felt that he should give out a few titles.

One baron, a dozen lords, that's all!

It's not an earl, marquis or other high-ranking titles.

For ordinary people, this is an opportunity to achieve a class leap and enter the Daming Xungui Group.

But for Zhu Hongyu, it was just a matter of opening his mouth!
He really can't bear it!

If he can use these few titles to make the people below scramble to die for him, Zhu Hongyu can be said to have earned his blood.

After discussing the posthumous titles and rewards for Wu Tong and others, Wang Ruxian, Li Guangyuan, Zhou Tianxu and others all withdrew and left.
