Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Six Hearts Are Really Difficult?

Yu Tianen, the gang general of the Volunteer Camp stationed in Zengcheng, sent a big fish to Zhou Shixiang. This big fish was Wang Yinghua, who supported Emperor Shaowu with Su Guansheng, He Wuzuo, Gu Yuanjing and others.

Wang Yinghua was a Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen. He served as a professor of martial arts, a member of the Ministry of Rites, a Censor of Fujian, and a Minister of Rites. In the second year of Longwu, he participated in the establishment of Emperor Shaowu and became the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, ranking third in the Shaowu Cabinet.

When the Qing army captured Guangzhou, Emperor Shaowu fled to the Wang family and asked Wang Yinghua to take him in, but was turned away by Wang Yinghua. After Emperor Shaowu's death, Wang Yinghua and He Wuzuo surrendered to the Qing Dynasty together and became the Minister of Guanglu Temple of the Qing Dynasty. Later, he and He Wuzuo wrote a letter to the Qing court to review the history of the Ming Dynasty. This is a shameless person, but he is also a great figure. He is the Taiping Army who has captured the highest-ranking Han officials in the Qing Dynasty so far.

Wang Yinghua was originally a good minister of Guanglu Temple in the capital. He should not be so unlucky in Yu Tianen's hands. But his father died of illness. The Qing Dynasty followed the Ming Dynasty. Wang Yinghua had to go home and stay in peace and obey the system, otherwise he would not be able to do so. Wang Yinghua's hometown was from Shipaipu, Zengcheng. After Yu Tianen took Zengcheng as a letter of surrender to the Taiping Army, he sent troops to plunder food and grass, and then arrested some officials and gentry who worked for the Qing court under the order of Zhou Shixiang. As a result, Wang Yinghua was sent to Xiangshan by Yu Tianen as a big fish. Wang Mingzhen, the son of Wang Yinghua, was also taken to Xiangshan.

After returning to Xiangshan, Zhou Shixiang was busy and couldn't find time to meet Wang Yinghua, so he asked Xu Yingyuan to persuade him to surrender.

Unlike Tayinbu, Wang Yinghua has always been an official in the Ming Dynasty. He also served as a Grand Secretary of the Shaowu Dynasty. He was the Qing Dynasty, which was only surrendered to Guangzhou after it was destroyed. Therefore, Zhou Shixiang really wanted this person to surrender to the Taiping Army. In this way, the Taiping officer would have a former Grand Secretary to help him, which would play a significant role in attracting the hearts of the scholars and the people.

After returning from Lutouhe, Xu Yingyuan was put on the side by Zhou Shixiang to run his education class. Every day, he was busy with matters about promoting the three loyalists in Lingnan. It was not his turn to intervene in government and military affairs. Like a teacher, this juren really made him angry. He thought he would never have a chance to make a name from now on, but Zhou Shixiang suddenly called him to persuade Wang Yinghua to surrender, which made Xu Yingyuan see the opportunity to show his strength.

"Mr. is a martial arts professor. He has also been a great scholar. He is familiar with the great scholars of sages and has thousands of knowledge in his mind. Therefore, Mr. should know that China and the barbarians are defending China and the barbarians. The so-called "people who are not my race will have different hearts. Now the people of Manzhou occupy the country of our Han family with few people, and massacred millions of our Han people in order to consolidate their rule, so that our Han people can live in dire straits. Mr. sees it. Are you willing to be accomplices for the tiger? He is willing to be poisoned by the alien race? He is willing to see my Chinese clothes and clothes cut off from then on?... My grand general knows that Mr. has great ability, and it was only a last resort to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, today I would like to ask me to help you and participate in the great cause of anti-Qing!"

"You need to say nothing. I have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, so I have no reason to turn around again. Tell your grandmaster. I am grateful for his kindness, but I will betray the Qing Dynasty but will not be able to obey my destiny."

"Sir, why bother?"

Xu Yingyuan spent a lot of money, hoping to persuade Wang Yinghua to show his merits to Zhou Shi, but Wang Yinghua couldn't pour oil into it and was unmoved at all. He looked like a loyal and righteous man with a strong bone, and he was so angry that he secretly scolded this old man who really knew how to pick up persimmons and pinched him. Why didn't you be a loyal minister back then? Instead, you are now looking like a dead person.

If Zhou Shixiang hadn't wanted to recruit this person, Xu Yingyuan wouldn't bother with Wang Yinghua. He was unhappy and still persuaded him with kind words. However, Wang Yinghua never spoke again. Seeing this, Xu Yingyuan knew that he could not speak to him, so he had to leave in disappointment.

"Wang Yinghua wants to be a good slave to Manzhou people? He is so confused. He is my Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty!"

After hearing Xu Yingyuan's return, Zhou Shixiang was very surprised. He thought that Wang Yinghua was originally a Ming minister, so Xu Yingyuan went to persuade him to surrender was a natural thing, but the result was like this. This made him very puzzled and confused: Why did Wang Yinghua surrender to the Qing court but he was unwilling to return to the Ming Dynasty again?

"Go and ask Suna to persuade me. I will let him see. Even the Tartars surrendered me. Why would he, the Han man, not help me? Should he really repay his Manzhou master with death?"

Zhou Shixiang was so angry that he didn't understand why Wang Yinghua, a traitor who had been a Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty, refused to return to his heart and understand again. Could it be that in the minds of these people, the Ming Dynasty is really unsuccessful and there is no chance of revival? Otherwise, how can we explain the choices of these people? Is this person really hard to resist?

"Yes, Grandmaster, I will let Suna persuade him."

Xu Yingyuan hurriedly asked Su Na, the surrendered Manzhou master, to persuade Wang Yinghua to surrender. However, after Su Na arrived, before he could speak, he saw Wang Yinghua pointing at him and laughing: "I wonder if I should call you a Manzhou or a rebellious person now? If I were a Manzhou, how could I rebel against my ancestors? If I were a Manzhou, why did I have the braids of my Manzhou?"

"you…"

Suna's face turned red and she had nothing to say. She could not say any of the things she had thought of persuading surrender. She left in a bad mood. After returning, she was so angry that she cut her braids. She changed her name to Wang Tai, saying that she would completely cut off everything in Manzhou. After hearing this, the Manzhou soldiers who surrendered together also named Han people and never mentioned Manzhou's names again. The incident reached Duke Xiang of Song, but ridiculed the manzhou people for being smart. They changed their names to nothing but did not want Guangzhou to know that they had surrendered to the Taiping Army, thereby protecting their wives, children and children. Such little thoughts could be hidden from anyone, but they did such ridiculous appearance.

"Does this old man really think that I dare not kill him? Go and let his son persuade him, I will not believe this evil!"

When he heard that Su Na was ridiculed by Wang Yinghua without saying a word, Zhou Shixiang was furious and asked Xu Yingyuan to lead Wang Yinghua's son to persuade him to surrender. He didn't believe that Wang Yinghua was really proud of his death for the Qing Dynasty! If he was really so backbone, he would not have been able to surrender to the Qing Dynasty to be a traitor!

"The great general is wise. No matter how hard Wang Yinghua is, he is not as strong as his family affection."

Xu Yingyuan hurriedly mentioned Wang Mingzhen, son of Wang Yinghua, and asked him to immediately persuade his father to join the Taiping Army.

Wang Mingzhen was timid and afraid of death. When he heard that his father was not dead yet. Moreover, the Taiping Army General wanted to use him more, he nodded and replied. Under the leadership of Xu Yingyuan, he advised his father with hope to not be stubborn. He quickly expressed his loyalty to the Taiping Army General so that he would lose his head.

"Sir Father!"

"Famous!"

When the father and son meet, they naturally feel sad.

Seeing Xu Yingyuan beside him winking at him, Wang Mingzhen hurriedly said to Wang Yinghua: "Father, I am here on the order of General Zhou of Taiping Army..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Yinghua was shocked and let go of his son. His eyes were full of confusion: "The decree of the commander?"

Wang Mingzhen nodded with an expectant look on his face.

"What do you want to say?"

Wang Yinghua's hands began to tremble, and his face was unstable.

Wang Mingzhen advised: "Father, good birds choose trees to live in. You are a wise minister, so why should you be stubborn?"

"My son is so confused...ah..."

He glanced at Xu Yingyuan not far away from the corner of his eyes. Wang Yinghua pretended to be careless and took two steps forward. He said to his son in a very low voice: "My stupid son. Do you think you really want to die for the Manzhou people?"

"Why is my father?" Wang Mingzhen was extremely confused. Since his father did not want to die for the Manzhou people, why did he refuse to surrender?

Wang Yinghua knew that his son was cowardly and not very smart, so he whispered: "Did your father tell you the truth that you should not put eggs in the same blue?"

Wang Mingzhen nodded and said, "When a child was young, he often heard his father say this truth, but what does it have to do with his father's re-examination?"

"You are confused. Most of the world is from the Qing Dynasty. The small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty is just surviving and cannot achieve the climate. Don't look at the Taiping Army being in trouble now. When the army of Manzhou people really comes to kill, can they stop it? So you can't return to Ming again. If you really return to Ming, you will have no way out for your father!"

"If my father refuses to surrender, then the Taiping Army General Zhou may have killed his father."

"My father is old and can't live for a few years. If you want to kill him, you will be afraid of anything. If your father's death can bring you the blessings of the Qing court, you will be willing to die ten more times."

"Father, how can the child see his father being harmed by the thief? Didn't his father often say that he would stay with the green mountains and not be afraid of burning firewood? Now the Taiping Army is powerful, and the heroes will not suffer the loss in front of him. My father will endure humiliation and live a life of silence. He pretends to agree to make plans."

"Why don't you understand the truth taught to you for your father! You must know that for your father and you are both eggs in that basket. If the basket falls, they will be broken. If it is placed in two baskets, one can still be broken. Now for your father, it is the egg that is to be broken. Only when your father is broken can you be safe. Do you understand? You have never done anything for the Qing court and have never done any evil, and the thief scholar will not be angry with you."

"My father really plans to do this. What if the Ming Dynasty can revive?"

"If the Ming Dynasty really has its day of rejuvenation, you will join the Ming Dynasty and you will have to remedy the reputation behind your father."

"How do you remedy the baby?"

"No matter whether it is Ming or Qing, the people who compiled historians are scholars, and the people of Donglin Party are the most. None of these people have ever done dirty things and which one is clean. If Qing wins, you don't have to do anything. You can't get away with a loyal minister of your father. If the Ming Dynasty can really revive it, then you go to those who are studying history. They know how to write about me. Let's go now!"

After saying that, Wang Mingzhen slapped Wang Yinghua heavily on his face with a "bar" sound. Wang Yinghua pretended to be so angry that he shook his head, pointed at Wang Mingzhen and scolded: "Get out, get out of here!"

"Father..."

Wang Mingzhen covered half of his face and looked extremely aggrieved.

"You bad beast, why don't you get out of here!"

Wang Yinghua's roaring voice spread far and wide. He deliberately let everyone know that his son failed to persuade him to surrender.

"Old man, don't you recognize your relatives? Go and bring him here. I want to ask him personally!"

The people who went to persuade him three times were blocked and even his son could not persuade him. Zhou Shixiang had to take action himself.
