After ordering Jinyiwei Commander Li Ruolian and Jinyiwei Tongzhi Gao Wencai to send people to look for Song Yingxing and others, Zhu Cixiang remembered another person.

That is Qin Liangyu, the heroine of the Ming Dynasty in Shizhu, Sichuan and the founder of the white pole soldier.

She is also the only heroine in Chinese history who has been recorded in official history.

The white-pole soldiers are named after the white-pole spears they hold. The predecessor of this unit was Qin Liangyu who recruited Tujia people to train in order to help her husband Ma Qiancheng guard the stone pillars.

Even the weapons of these soldiers, the white-poled spears, were made by Qin Liangyu.

A strong ash tree trunk is used as the gun body, with a bladed hook on top and a hard iron ring on the bottom. The hook can be cut and pulled during combat, and the ring can be used as a hammer weapon.

When necessary, dozens of spears connected with hooks can be used as tools for climbing over mountains and walls. Cliffs can be climbed instantly, making them very suitable for mountain warfare.

At that time, the four brothers and sisters of the Qin family relied on this white-pole soldier to achieve great military exploits by fighting against the Qing Dynasty, fighting against luxury, aiding the Liao Dynasty, serving the king diligently, resisting the Qing Dynasty, and suppressing bandits.

The Tujia people are strong and fearless of death. When the white-pole soldiers were at their peak, there were 30,000 soldiers.

In the Battle of Hunhe, the Qin brothers led white-poled soldiers to fight in a bloody battle with the Eight Banners of Jiannu, killing more than 8,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of Jiannu in their heyday.

More than twenty years have passed, and some white-pole soldiers have been killed in battle, while others have been recruited.

The imperial court had no silver, and Qin Liangyu had spent all his family resources to finance the war. Even so, after several wars, the white-pole soldiers now only had less than 2,000 men left in total.

Time flies, and thirty years ago, when she was still young, her husband Ma Qiancheng was weak, so when he went on expeditions for the Holy Sage, she would mostly lead the soldiers with white poles.

A white spear, a red helmet, and a galloping horse, traveling to and from the enemy's lines as if they were in an uninhabited land, and the thieves they killed would leave their helmets and armor behind.

After returning from the battlefield, Ma Qiancheng greeted her like a hero and treated her not like chaff, but like a confidant.

Throughout the more than 200 years of Ming Dynasty history, there are only two families that can be said to have been loyal and martyred and died for the country.

When the Qing army entered the pass and approached Gaoyang City, all Sun Chengzhong's family, old and young, died in the battle.

Another one is the family of General Fubo who serve the country loyally.

Qin Liangyu's brother Qin Banghan died in the battle of Hunhe.

His younger brother Qin Minping died in the battle to pacify Tu'an during Tianqi's reign.

His son Ma Chongzhen died in the battle of Xianglin in Xiangyang in the 15th year of his reign.

Daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi died in the war in Houjiazhuang, Henan in the sixth year of Chongzhen.

Nephew Qin Gongming died fighting to put down the Shapu Rebellion.

He gave almost everything for the Ming Dynasty and was absolutely loyal to everyone.

In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong captured Sichuan. After proclaiming himself emperor in Chengdu, he sent people to recruit and surrender the chieftains of Sichuan.

At this time, Qin Liangyu's subordinates had almost been wiped out, and his military strength was weak.

Some suggested surrendering, while others suggested transferring, but Qin Liangyu refused to surrender and rebelled against the king Zhang Xianzhong, vowing to live and die with Shi Li.

So Qin Liangyu divided his troops to guard various dangerous places. Zhang Xianzhong had fought with Qin Liangyu many times before and was defeated many times.

Although they are now powerful, they dare not approach the stone guard guarded by Qin Liangyu.

Now that Qin Liangyu is old, it is obviously unrealistic for Qin Liangyu to come to Beijing to assist him.

However, it is not a big problem to re-recruit white soldiers to defend Sichuan and prevent Zhang Xianzhong from entering Sichuan.

The imperial court has not used Qin Liangyu in recent years, and she has been forgotten by the Ming Dynasty in Sichuan Shizhu.

They spent all their wealth to attack the bandits voluntarily. Now Qin Liangyu no longer has the financial ability to recruit troops to serve the court.

Zhu Cixiang personally wrote a letter to Qin Liangyu, named Qin Liangyu the Zhongzhen Marquis of Sichuan Army, and asked Hu Bao to visit the stone pillar.

Knowing that Qin Liangyu's family fortune was gone and he had no money to recruit troops, Zhu Cihong decided to give her two hundred thousand taels of silver.

The amount of 200,000 taels of silver was too large to be transported, so Zhu Cixiang decided to replace it with 15,000 taels of gold.

He also brought two hundred Huangming rifles and bullets to Qin Liangyu. With the addition of Huangming rifles, the white-armed soldiers will be even more powerful.

In order to ensure that the gold and firearms were safely delivered to Qin Liangyu, Zhu Cixiang asked Zhou Yuji to dispatch 100 people from Weiwu Camp to accompany him.

There are one hundred soldiers in the Weiwei Battalion, five of whom are equipped with AK47s and carry 300 grenades.

These 100 people are all cavalry. They should be able to reach Shizhu in Sichuan safely. Even if they encounter thousands of bandits on the way, they will definitely be able to retreat unscathed.

After Hu Bao left, only Yue Yang was left beside Zhu Cihong, but there were still two personal maids waiting in the palace.

For the time traveler Zhu Cixiang, being served by a palace maid is more comfortable than being served by an eunuch.

He took Yue Yang to the outside of Fengtian Gate to see the progress of the construction of Zhonghun Temple!

When Zhu Cixi proposed building the Zhonghun Temple, Emperor Chongzhen chose the site next to the Ancestral Temple, which was located in the imperial city.

But Zhu Cixiang thought it was inappropriate. He wanted people to be able to go to the Zhonghun Temple to pay homage to the martyrs at any time, so the Zhonghun Temple must be built outside Fengtianmen.

The Zhonghun Temple has been built and is quite large in scale. It consists of a total of sixteen houses. After the memorial tablets are enshrined, the incense continues. For fire prevention, it is basically made of masonry.

Zhu Cixiang was surprised when he discovered that cement had been used in the construction of Zhonghun Temple:

"Damn it, the cement has been used. Well done to Meng Zhaoxiang. It seems that I have not hired the wrong person!"

Yue Yang was a little confused, raised his hands and said with a smile:

"Your Highness, I am ignorant, what is cement?"

Zhu Cixiang smiled faintly:

"A material that can firmly bond masonry together. If you don't believe me, try it and see if you can pull it."

"Oh, I'll give it a try..."

Yue Yang was so curious that he did not test the wall with his hands, but stepped on the floor with a slight force. As soon as he exerted force, the two blue bricks on the floor separated from the cement.

"Your Highness, look..."

Zhu Cixiang suddenly felt a fever on his face. He was actually slapped in the face by Yue Yang...

He reached out and pulled out the embroidered spring knife from Yue Yang's body, and struck the wall with the knife. A large piece of masonry was chopped off, but the cement bonded the green bricks well and did not separate.

Zhu Cixiang struck a cement pillar with his knife again, and a big crack immediately appeared in the cement pillar. Both Zhu Cixiang and Yue Yang were surprised to find that the pillar was full of rotten wood.

"Nah, cut corners, Yue Yang, look at the other pillars and floors!"

"Here"

The two people immediately got busy in the newly built Zhonghun Temple, and finally found that except for some walls, the construction quality of the entire Zhonghun Temple was a mess.

Even the floor paved with a mixture of blue bricks and cement can be crushed at any time, which is a complete waste of time!

Before Zhu Cixiang could get angry, the foreman who was doing greening work outside and a supervisor from the Ministry of Works quickly ran into the Zhonghun Temple. When they saw the mess inside, both of them turned green with anger!

"You two, why did you destroy the Loyal Soul Shrine? This was built under His Majesty's personal decree. No matter which noble family you come from, you must give an explanation today..."

At first, they all saw Zhu Cihong and Yue Yang entering the Zhonghun Temple. They saw that the two men were dressed like noble children of some noble family. They did not disturb them at that time. They did not expect that the two men would cause havoc.

Before Zhu Cihong could speak, Yue Yang shouted:

"Shut up, you are blind. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived and you haven't paid your respects yet!"

"ah……"

These two people were so frightened that they immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed: trembling all over.

"See... see the Crown Prince Chitose, I didn't know Chitose was coming... I kowtow to Chitose, I hope you can play as you please..."

They thought that the Crown Prince was bored and came to demolish the Zhonghun Temple. They dared to interfere. They could only wait for the Crown Prince to get tired and leave, and then they would rebuild it.

Zhu Cixiang didn't want to argue with the two followers. He wanted to know who built the Zhonghun Temple and who supervised it:

"Who is responsible for the construction of Zhonghun Temple, and who is supervising it?"

The clerk from the Ministry of Industry hurriedly kowtowed again:

"Master Qiansui, the Zhonghun Temple was built by Uncle Jiading himself, and this villain is the supervisor..."

"Zhou Kui, the head of the state?"

Hearing his grandfather's name appear again, Zhu Cixiang almost fainted...
