Zhou Qingui and others simply wanted to use the ancestral system of the big and small general system to preserve the feudal power over their soldiers, so that they would not be overwhelmed by the Ming army in Jinhua trained by Chen Wen. Chen Wen wanted to concentrate the military power to ensure the unity of the power. The result was that Zhou Qingui and others, who were gradually declining under the siege of the Ming army in Jinhua, hit it off with the envoys he sent, because only in this way can they ensure that they have a relatively high independence while surviving.

In Cao Conglong's opinion, Zhou Qingui and others' requests were not unreasonable. Using civil control to control military affairs and large-scale control is the basis for ensuring that military generals will not commit rebellion. However, Chen Wen's attempt was to concentrate power among him. In this way, this person would inevitably get rid of the control of civil officials and would sooner or later have a big trouble.

Regarding Chen Wen, when Cao Conglong first heard about this military general, he was in Zhoushan. Wang Jiang sent an envoy to report the victory in the hall to tell the story of the past few months since Chen Wen went up the mountain.

An envoy who was entrusted to report the news resolutely stayed on the Dalan Mountain, which was almost impossible. Through planning and training, he found a glimmer of chance in the impossible, but he encountered exclusion and suspicion at the last moment, which eventually led to that miserable defeat. After the miserable defeat, the general was still the one who tried his best to cover the retreat of the people, and even did not hesitate to carry out the bloody battle with the Qing army several times his own, which was almost impossible to win, but he achieved a great victory that had not been seen in several years.

Cao Conglong clearly remembered how he celebrated and praised Chen Wen's strategy and courage, just like Zhang Kentang, Dong Zhining, Zhang Huangyan and others. At least in his opinion at that time, although Chen Wen was a military general, he was Wang Yi's general and had a natural closeness to the civil servant group and could be an ally to curb Zhang Mingzhen and other nobles.

However, as he came to Jinhua Palace with a mission, he saw that this general had begun to escape from the control of civil officials after Wang Jiang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. This situation was very bad, but if Cao Conglong had not planned to take advantage of this new famous general in the dynasty just because of this, as long as he was willing to welcome the Lu Jianguo to get out of the current predicament, this person could still exist as a political ally in the dynasty, just like the previous dynasty.

However, this general had no idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, and had only one mu of land in Jinhua Mansion, and completely ignored the predicament of the master. He was definitely not a loyal person. At this moment, Chen Wen was still besieging Quzhou, and waiting was meaningless. Only when he personally led the army to restore Taizhou would he have the opportunity to welcome the Lu Jianguo ashore.

Back to the Zhejiang Governor's Office, which was the former inspector of the Censorate, Cao Conglong could often hear the sound of firecrackers every day in May, as if it had started with the news that the Ming army had restored Longyou County. Rich people lit firecrackers and fireworks, while those who had no money burned bamboo directly. Even a large number of people went out of the city to visit graves and scattered paper money like snow falling from the north. It seemed that if they did not do so, they would not be enough to express their joy, nor would they be enough to tell the good news to those relatives and friends who died in vain.
