275 [Lingnan Three Loyalty](2/2)

Four words, one comes from a rich family!

It was precisely because Zhao Han forcibly divided the land that the Chen family suffered heavy losses, so Chen Bangyan refused to be recruited. Unexpectedly, when Zhao Han left Guangzhou, he took the initiative to write an article pointing out the omissions of Zhao Han's Tianzheng.

This man is restless, full of economics, failed in the imperial examinations, and has no way to serve the country.

Historically, when the small court in Nanjing was established, Chen Bangyan immediately wrote the "Zhongxing Politicians", which contained tens of thousands of words, listed 32 strategies for saving the country, and ran to Nanjing alone to present it to Emperor Hongguang.

Emperor Hongguang got "Zhongxing Politburo", but it had too many words and was too lazy to read.

Later, enabled by Emperor Longwu, Chen Bangyan led troops to resist the Qing Dynasty. The concubine and his two sons were captured by the Qing army, forcing him to surrender immediately. Chen Bangyan replied: "I humiliated her, and my son killed me. As a loyal minister, I have no regard for justice."

wife."

Then, Chen Bangyan withdrew from Guangzhou and turned to attack Sanshui, Xinhui, and Xiangshan, winning three battles and three victories.

While defending Qingyuan City, the Qing army dug tunnels and blew open the city wall. Chen Bangyan's second son died in a street fight. Chen Bangyan himself was stabbed three times and threw himself into the water but was picked up by the Qing army. He was taken to Guangzhou, but Chen Bangyan still refused to surrender.

, went on a hunger strike for five days in prison and was killed by the Qing army.

Among the three Lingnan loyalists, one was named Chen Zizhuang, who lived in Guangzhou at this time.

The whole family also died tragically, and Chen Zizhuang died the most tragically because he was the leader of the Anti-Qing Dynasty in Guangdong.

He was tied and sawed in half from the top of his head. Due to the shaking of his body, he could only cut off the scalp. Chen Zizhuang shouted to the executioner: "Idiot, people in the world (sawing) need to use wooden boards!"

The executioner quickly tied Chen Zizhuang to a wooden board and sawed him open alive.

After the Tianling Cap was sawed open, Chen Zizhuang was still reciting a fatal poem: "Where do the golden branches go, and whose house are the jade leaves? The old root once wished to die and vowed not to bloom spring flowers."

His younger brother Chen Zisheng took his mother and hid in the mountains. After hearing about his son's death, Chen's mother hanged herself from a beam. His concubine Zhang Yuqiao was taken in by the Manchu general Li Chengliang. When she heard about her husband's death, she committed suicide.

Chen Zizhuang was dismissed from office by Chongzhen as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and returned to his hometown.

As long as he is willing to take refuge, scholars from Guangdong will definitely flock to him. Unfortunately, this man also comes from a wealthy family and is very dissatisfied with Zhao Han's behavior of dividing the land.

"Alas, of the three loyalties in Lingnan, we only have one and a half loyalties." Zhao Han sighed again.

Zhang Jiayu asked: "Who are the three Lingnan loyalists?"

Zhao Han said perfunctorily: "Heroes of ancient times."
