Jiangxi is connected to Huguang in the west, Nanzhili in the east, Zhejiang and Fujian in the east, while Nan'an and Ganzhou in the south border with Guangdong.??.|??`In addition, Jiangxi is adjacent to the Yangtze River waterway, and to the west is the Wuhan Prefecture in Huguang, and to the east is the Longxing land of the Ming Taizu, the Ming Dynasty's accompanying capital Nanjing.
Such a geographical location can definitely be regarded as a place where military strategists must fight for. However, in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, in addition to the suppression of Jin Shengheng and the defeat of Li Chengdong in Nangan, the anti-Qing struggle here is far inferior to the provinces he is close to in later records.
Nanzhili occupied a wide area, and there was also the Ming Dynasty's accompanying capital Nanjing. Since the Hongguang Dynasty, it was the focus of the competition between the Ming and Qing dynasties; Huguang was the gateway for the Qing army to enter the southwest, Zhejiang had the Ming army group of the Lu Jianguo system, while Fujian and Guangdong were mixed with the Ming army, the rebel army from various systems, anyway, the Qing army, the Zheng family group, the Lu Jianguo group and the Qing army.
After all, the reason why Jiangxi has a low presence is that it is because the Qing army has already driven to the sea by various routes. The Ming army in the southwest cannot effectively control the provinces bordering Jiangxi, and ultimately cannot reach this important place.
However, in history, the anti-Qing movement in Jiangxi was in full swing. From the rebellion of King Yongning in the first year of Hongguang, the rebels of Yan Luo, the rebellion army of the rebels of Jianchang, Fuzhou, Jie Chongxi and Fu Dingquan, the large-scale anti-Qing movement was not until the fall of Dajueyan in May of the sixth year of Yongli, and the capture of Zhang Zisheng of Pingjiang was completely suppressed. At this moment, the anti-Qing movement in Jiangxi and the Qing army decided to transfer Jiangxi and some Fujian green camps to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Chen Wen, and also reached a crucial node.
"...In October of the previous year, Ning Hongbo Hong Guoyu fought with the Tatars in Xincheng County, Jianchang Prefecture, and was captured by the Tatars in Nanfeng County after defeat. In February last year, Luo Rong, the governor of the Fifth Army who was promoted to the fourth battalion of President Yan Luo, was killed by the Tatars in Ganzhou after being defeated. In May last year, the Minister of War Jiangxi Governor Jie Chongxi and Dingnan Hou Cao Dahao were captured by the Tatars. At present, the only kingly corps in the entire Jiangxi kingdom is the remnants of Pingjiang Bo Zhang Zisheng stationed in Dajueyan in Luxi County, Jianchang Prefecture, and has been surrounded by the Tatars. I am afraid it will not last long!"
In the Central Army's tent......|?` Listening to Bai Jinghe telling the information he found, Chen Wen gradually recalled some stories about Jiangxi's anti-Qing. The one who impressed the most was the article "Biography of Mr. Huawangshu" by Dai Mingshi, a Qing Dynasty writer who died in literary inquisition during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
However, when the Mr. Huawangguan in the story was killed by Wang Zhigang, the left general of Fujian in the Qing Dynasty, Fujian Admiral Yang Minggao had not yet rushed back to Fujian to try to rescue Zhangzhou. Now, the only anti-Qing army that truly has influence in Jiangxi is Zhang Zisheng's family, and his defeat seems to be in front of him.
In what month was Dajueyan captured by the Qing army?
This question always lingers in Chen Wen's mind, but he can't remember it. No matter what, his army has been trained now. Although there is still a certain amount of gap in armor, there is no time to wait.
The original plan must start early. Once Zhang Zisheng was defeated, the Qing army would soon gather a large army to encircle and suppress it again. At that time, he would inevitably face the Qing army several times his. Why not take advantage of the time difference between the Qing army's recovery of combat strength far inferior to his Ming army, and catch Chen Jin and the Qing army in Jiangxi off guard, and firmly grasp the initiative in his hands!
Thinking of this, Chen Wen immediately summoned relevant civil servants and generals to discuss matters, and properly understood his own military training, military preparations, military rations and military pay reserves, and other matters. He went to the government office to meet Sun Yu and sent someone to invite Cao Conglong back.
However, as soon as Chen Wen left the gate, he incredibly saw Cao Conglong coming here from afar, and seemed to be in a hurry.
Could it be that this guy has the ability to predict the future, and he has already arrived, and I plan to invite him back to discuss the issue of sending troops?
From the moment he saw Cao Conglong just now, he naturally had some bad premonitions. Chen Wen hurriedly invited Cao Conglong to the central army tent with this kind of heart, but before he could even take his back, he saw the impatient governor expressing his intention to Chen Wen.??w?
"Linhaibo, the situation is not good with Your Highness the Regent. Many of the generals have already attached themselves to Zhu Chenggong. I hope to send troops to Taizhou as soon as possible to relieve Your Highness's trouble!"
Hearing this, Chen Wen was stunned. He never expected that Cao Conglong, who was in western Zhejiang, would know what was far away in southern Fujian. However, before he could ask for details, he saw Cao Conglong briefly told Chen Wen about these natural things.
Since half a month ago, Cao Conglong visited various counties to calm the hearts of the people. He has been warmly welcomed by local gentry and wealthy families along the way, but this welcome is welcome. The established task of mixing with the thin and thin is far less easy than he imagined.
From the time of arriving in Lanxi County, my ears were filled with dissatisfaction with the new policy of Jinhua Mansion. Aftermath, large loans for the aftermath and large loans for the capitulation were called the name of making money. The requisition of wasteland and establishment of garrisons was to compete with the people for profit and occupy the people's land. Even the Dalanshan version of the fire and the strict corruption were strictly prohibited by them. They insisted that the government wanted to increase taxes.
In short, all the gentry and wealthy families who came to meet Cao Conglong all accused Chen Wen, the "warlord of the people" and the "low military households" under his command for the past period of crimes, and strongly demanded that Cao Conglong, the governor of Zhejiang who "Bao Gong is alive and Hai Rui is reborn", make decisions for the people.
When he first came into contact with these rich gentry families, Cao Conglong thought that he was deceived by Chen Wen and Sun Yu, a group of civil servants and generals from Dalanshan when he was in the capital city. However, as time went by and the gradual improvement of his mixing skills, he now clearly thought too much. Especially whenever he thought about whether there were any military troops disturbing the people in Tangxi County, the people asked about the people were embarrassed, and they couldn't speak, and even looked at his performance. Cao Conglong, who was consciously deceived, became more distinct in the word "distorted" in his mind, so that he farted when he heard anything from then on.
Of course, he naturally does not need to tell Chen Wen about these things, as long as he has the experience of dealing with wealthy gentry as a people-friendly official.
But unexpectedly, when Cao Conglong was about to leave Yongkang County a few days ago, he was about to go north to Dongyang County to continue to mix with him, a burly man asked to see him, and he also knew that person, but Yang Can, the Jinyiwei beside Lu Jianguo.
According to Yang Can, shortly after Cao Conglong left, Zheng Chenggong met with the Lu Jianguo in the name of Zongren's Mansion Zongzheng. However, he refused to recognize his orthodox status as the supervisor. On the one hand, he suppressed and excluded food and grass supply, and on the other hand, he kept sending people to act as lobbyists to persuade the generals under the Lu Jianguo to change their families.
Originally, there was a plan to instigate Chen Wen to attack Taizhou to welcome the Lu Jianguo to ashore, and the generals were still trying to support it. However, from the twelfth lunar month, Cao Conglong had no reply to the letter in February, and even did not know whether Cao Conglong arrived at Jinhua Mansion alive. In this long-lived and hopeless waiting, the generals gradually couldn't hold on with Zheng Chenggong's soft and hard work and began to accept the position of Zheng Chenggong in the army. By the time Yang Can came out, the only three nobles left by the Lu Jianguo were Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, Zhou Hezhi, the Marquis of Pingyi, and Ruan Jun, the Marquis of Yingyi, were still trying to support it with their respective subordinates, and the other generals had already been under Zheng Chenggong.
Even if Cao Conglong didn't say anything about the following, Chen Wen could still figure it out. However, from the beginning, he had no intention of attacking Taizhou and brought the Lu Jianguo ashore, and fell into the endless battle for power and profit with the civil servants and nobles.
More importantly, once the Lu Jianguo came ashore, even if he could turn the tables on the southeast battlefield in the future, he would inevitably face the risk of a civil war with Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo who regarded Yongli as the orthodox emperor and Ming heroes to fight for the throne, which was something he did not want to see. He was even more unwilling to let the Qing Dynasty see it and have the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman again!
The Lu Jianguo must not go ashore, which is a matter of principle. At most, try to make Zheng Chenggong treat Comrade Zhu Yihai as well as possible, take off the hat of "Sweet Potato King", and give Lu Jianguo a stable old age after restoring the two capitals in the future. That's all.
"Fujun, have you and I just discussed half a month ago, to resolve the threat from the Tartars in Quzhou first and then attack Taizhou?"
It is no different from Chen Wen, who was responsible for expelling the Tartars, who had only the only thing that resisted the Qing Dynasty. In history, Cao Chenglong did not shave his clothes until his death. Although he was able to show intersections with Chen Wen in the fight against the Qing Dynasty. However, unlike modern people like Chen Wen who had no concept of feudal patriarchal system, as a subject of the governor of the state, he naturally had to consider the interests of the governor of the state, Lu and the civil servant group under the governor of the king of Lu.
When Cao Conglong heard Chen Wen's words, he thought he had heard it wrong. When he completely reacted, he became furious. "The situation has changed suddenly and will change. Guiju is a famous general of the country. Do you even understand the principle of adapting to the situation?!"
Chen Wen can understand Cao Conglong's anger, but the principle is principle. The dispute between Fulu, Tang and Lu, Tang and Gui, and even the rebellion of King Jingjiang, Zhu Rongfan, etc. The internal strife caused by the battle for the throne was the only one who benefited from the Qing Dynasty. Now is the best time to prevent problems before they happen!
Seeing this, Chen Wen rushed back and waited for the only one left in the central army's tent. Chen Wen said, "Then, I will tell the Fujun what the dog traitor Chen Jin is thinking about at this moment..."
……………………
An hour later, Cao Conglong left the camp in a daze. It was indeed unrealistic to expect the Ming army formed by the rebel army in Jiangxi to last for a long time. Moreover, once the Ming army in Jinhua was destroyed, the Lujianguo Group, which had lost its support, would not be able to withstand that size of the Qing army even if it occupied Taizhou. Now instead of forcing Chen Wendong to enter Taizhou, it would be better to let him remove the threat from the Quzhou direction.
However, he must also obtain the land of Taizhou for the Lu State and those civil officials who have always been loyal to the Lu State. Only in this way can he get rid of the current predicament and not completely disintegrate under the joint force of Zheng Chenggong, foreign enemy and Chen Wen, a traitor.
"Come here, come and see me, the chief clerk of Jinhua County, Lu Wenlong." After that, Cao Conglong frowned. After he got relieved, he immediately changed his words and said, "Please come and discuss important matters together!"
