Chapter 21 Obsession

This plan has poured into the efforts of everyone among the surviving civil servants of the Lujian State Administration of China, except for Zhang Huangyan who had already gone to the Zhongzuo Institute, and even made it particularly for Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, to see it, but Zhang Mingzhen didn't say anything. ~,

Cao Conglong felt that even a long-time general like Zhang Mingzhen had nothing to say. This plan was perfect, but when he finished speaking with great enthusiasm, he saw Chen Wen's face full of disdain.

"Is there anything to add to Guijue?"

Hearing Cao Conglong's question, Chen Wen immediately sneered. The key to this plan was not on Chen Wen, nor on Zhang Mingzhen, but on the Qing army in Zhejiang - unless they collectively stopped magic during this period, the plan was a piece of waste paper!

"I dare to ask Governor Cao, according to this plan, the general will divide his troops into two groups, and the army of Dingxi Hou, and the Wang army will divide his troops into three groups. So how do we communicate with each other?"

"this……"

The question of how to contact Chen Wen and Zhang Mingzhen was not unthinking about the monarchs of the Lu State, especially after soliciting Zhang Mingzhen's opinions, they suddenly realized that it was basically impossible to do under the terrain of Taizhou. They just asked Chen Wen to conquer Taizhou alone and then handed over Taizhou to Zhang Mingzhen. Cao Conglong couldn't say this, so it was quite embarrassing to be asked by Chen Wen in time.

However, before Cao Conglong's embarrassment was over, Chen Wen spoke again: "Even if these three armies can be properly contacted, I dare to ask Governor Cao, if the general leads the army to siege Taizhou with all his might, how should the Tartars in Quzhou and Hangzhou be prepared?"

"This..." Cao Conglong couldn't help but feel a little angry when asked by Chen Wen again, but the matter could not be delayed, and it was better to try to solve it. "The nobleman can leave some troops to defend Jinhua Mansion."

"We still have to divide the troops?" Chen Wen shook his head. "To be honest, Governor Cao, the King's Army of Jinhua Palace has only three combat barracks so far, with more than 2,000 people in each battalion. It has just begun formal training. Even if we add the troops personally led by our commander and the garrison troops of each county, there is no more than 9,000 in total."

"In contrast, the Tartars had more than 3,000 Zhejiang-Fujian Governor-General Biao Camp in Quzhou, and nearly 2,000 green camps in Quzhou, Chuzhou and Yanzhou; the Fubiao Camp has begun to be rebuilt in Hangzhou. More than 3,000 High-Biao Camps are always ready to go south, not to mention that there are more than 4,000 Hangzhou garrisons in the Eight Banners. It is not easy for the army in our commander to defend Jinhua."

"If we lead a large army to attack Taizhou, even if the Tartars in these places do not take the opportunity to attack Jinhua Prefecture, Taizhou will still have two thousand infantry and three thousand navy divisions. Besides, the royal army will enter Taizhou, Wenzhou Green Camp, Ningbo Green Camp and Dinghai General Army Balance Battalion, won't they rush to Taizhou to help?"

Hearing this, Cao Conglong couldn't help but be furious. Lu Jianguo is now in Zheng Chenggong's territory and is highly excluded. If this were not the case, why would he have to sneak to Jinhua thousands of miles away? The master is worried about his ministers' humiliation, and the master is in a state of humiliation. Those who are a minister must first consider the master and then be themselves. This martial artist has only one acre of three parts of his land, which is really hateful.

"Then give up Jinhua Mansion!"

Giving up Jinhua Mansion neglected everything he had done before. Seeing Cao Conglong blurting out, Chen Wen was too lazy to answer. He just sat down again and looked at the civil servant who was completely angry and angry.

Chen Wen's eyes poured on his head like ice water. Cao Conglong Meng realized that Chen Wen had no idea about the situation of Lu Jianguo in Haitan, but if he said that Lu Jianguo was in a difficult situation, he would probably lose the confidence to continue to regard Lu Jianguo as orthodox. For a moment, Cao Conglong hesitated, his face turned red and pale. After a while, he made up his mind.

"To be honest, the prince of Linhai, is now guarded by the Marquis of Dingxi, Marquis of Pingyi and other vassals, and is in Fujian Haitan. This Haitan..."

As Cao Conglong told the story, the situation of the Lu Jianguo quickly corresponded to the history that Chen Wen remembered. After experiencing the relentless pursuit of the Qing army and a large number of generals defected and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the remnants of the Ming army in Zhoushan were forced to enter Zheng Chenggong's territory, Fuzhou Haitan, to seek asylum. As in history, Zheng Chenggong did not recognize the orthodox status of the Lu Jianguo, and he was too lazy to meet him.

However, Cao Conglong didn't know that shortly after he set out, Zheng Chenggong followed the opinions of his aides Feng Chengshi and Pan Gengzhong, and met with the "His Royal Highness of the King of Lu" as Zongzheng, appointed by Emperor Longwu, and still did not recognize his orthodox identity. His purpose was nothing more than to try to annex the Ming army of the remnant Lu Jianguo Group to enhance his own strength. Zheng Chenggong also successfully achieved this in history. Among the generals of the Lu Jianguo who arrived in Zheng Chenggong's sphere of influence, Zhang Mingzhen barely maintained a certain degree of independence, while others completely became Zheng Chenggong's generals.

Having said that, Cao Conglong had no trump card available for the time being. When he turned his eyes to Chen Wen's face, the answer he got was not what he expected.

"Governor Cao's words are wrong. Zhu Chenggong is a national surname, so he will not make things difficult for His Highness the Superintendent. Besides, the army under this command is still there. Anyone with some brains must know that with this commander in Zhejiang, he would not have to worry about the Tartars sending troops south to assist Fujian in Fujian in Fujian. He would definitely treat His Highness the Superintendent to seek a good relationship. But if the army is gone, it will be difficult to rely on the remaining soldiers and defeated under the command of Dingxi Marquis. "

I thought that telling the truth would allow Chen Wen to make a successful bet, but what I got was this result. Even if Chen Wen was telling the truth, Cao Conglong wanted to take Shangfang's sword to kill Chen Wen, then recruit his troops and personally lead the army to attack Taizhou to help the Lu Jianguo get out of the predicament.

However, the generals and army under Chen Wen were all formed by this person, and the two civil servants in charge of the army died or surrendered earlier. This martial artist was obviously so rebellious that he had escaped from the control of the civil servants. If he killed Chen Wen, he would be afraid that this army would surrender to the Qing Dynasty or support other royal families as emperors, thinking that the general would take revenge. At that time, even if he died, he would be unable to atone for his sins.

Cao Conglong was successful in his studies and was able to become the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War in the Lu Supervisory Court step by step. Since he did not have enough power at the moment, he could only temporarily endure it and think about it. When he grasped the power of the military and local governments, there would naturally be ways to instigate Chen Wen as they wished.

After putting this matter aside for the time being, Cao Conglong began to ask Chen Wen about the situation of the garrison in Jinhua Mansion by using his military supervisor. This problem cannot be hidden, so Chen Wen had to say it in detail. The figures obtained were indeed as Chen Wen said before, which made Cao Conglong feel a little sad.

Chen Wen and Cao Conglong chatted for a while before leading him out of the camp and heading straight to the government office. However, when asked about the handling of Chen Jin's envoy, Chen Wen said that he would take the message back, but he was still criticized by Cao Conglong.

"The noble title is really awesome in the name of cutting off the robe and cutting off the meaning. Why not behead Chen Jin's envoy to show his determination to be incompatible with the Tartars?"

Kill the envoy?

This is not uncommon. At least Wang Yi did it. But the situation at that time was that Yan our husband shook the mountains and seas. A large number of civil and military officials, including Kaiyuan Bo Wu Kai, Dingyuan Hou Shi Zhongfang, and Yi'an Bo Gu Qixun, were encouraged by this person to descend to the Qing Dynasty. Wang Yi, following Huang Zhongdao's proposal, cooked and killed Yan our minister, effectively curbed the wave of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. And the army under his command is now the last Ming army in Zhejiang. Although the generals have the right to command military power, the financial power and supervision power are all in the hands of his confidants. It is not easy to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, so there is no need to do so for the time being.

"As far as I know, Emperor Jian has confirmed the status of the enemy country of the Tartars earlier. Youdao is that the two countries are fighting troops and not killing the envoys. This is a Chinese tradition. If it is not a special situation, it is better not to violate it as much as possible."

Seeing that Chen Wen could not convince him, Cao Conglong secretly cursed and said too much that he did not intend to continue to linger on this issue. This did not meet his plans.

After the two finished the conversation, they hurried to the government office, and the imperial edict of the government office ended very smoothly. Only Cao Conglong's arrival surprised the officials from Dalanshan. When Cao Conglong said that he would formally make an appointment to them on behalf of the Lu State, these surprises gradually dissipated, but they didn't know what to do if Shen Diaolun came.

After the imperial edict was announced, Cao Conglong sent Sun Yu to introduce the officials of Jinhua Prefecture and Jinhua County to him. Chen Wenben, a military general, planned to drink tea and wait for them to greet him. He asked Cao Conglong clearly the question he had just remembered, and then went to see Wang Jiang's mother as originally planned.

However, he had not swallowed the first sip of tea yet, but a personal soldier who was originally guarding the government office ran in and leaned into his ear and whispered: "Master General. A man who claims to be the envoy of Wang Sheng asked for a visit."

Wang Sheng!

This name is really impressive to Chen Wen. It is not only because he once had a life-threatening fight with him, but more importantly, this man betrayed more than 20,000 Ming army in Siming Lake, which led to Wang Yi's capture and death. In the following year, Feng Jingdi and Wang Jiang were captured one after another. For the Qing army in Zhejiang, it can be said that it was "excellent contributions".

However, as soon as Chen Jin's envoy left, he sent someone to ask for a visit. According to Chen Wen's knowledge, Wang Sheng has always been a man who has no profit to get up early, and sending an envoy to come for no reason must have an unspeakable purpose. Cao Conglong's performance just now really made him unable to rest assured, so Chen Wen asked the personal soldier to arrange Wang Sheng's envoy to guard the Thousand Houses of Jinhua, which had already begun to be renovated, and sat for a moment before he sued the crime and left.

Before leaving the gate, looking back, Cao Conglong and Sun Yu had a great conversation. When they were sitting there, they listened to the year of the imperial examination. From this, they realized that Zhang Huangyan was also a juren in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and Sun Yu was the same year as him.

For Chen Wen, as a civil servant, Sun Yu is the best choice. Jinhua Mansion is also from an official from Dalanshan. During this period, he was able to uphold the tradition left by Wang Jiang and not interfere in military affairs, and be able to accept new things and do his best to help him expand his army in order to recover more lost territory.

However, Cao Conglong came here without talking about his own tasks that Chen Wen could not perform, and just said that he could not interfere in military affairs. This was simply a trouble for him.

In Chen Wen's memory, Lu Jianguo should have arrived in Xiamen in the first lunar month. As for the day of the first lunar month, it was not very clear, so he planned to send people there in a few days, and then decided on Sun Yu's military affairs after Lu Jianguo went to the military in March. Who knew that Lu Jianguo had learned from somewhere that he had recovered Jinhua, repelled the Qing army's encirclement and suppression, and Wang Jiang's capture, and directly sent such a military army, which really caught him off guard.
