Not only did Chen Wen not know about Zheng Chenggong's thoughts, but even Zhang Jun, who was temporarily staying in Zhongzuo waiting for the envoy to announce the edict, was completely unaware of it. At this time, he was still immersed in the good news that the Ming army in Jinhua whom he served was defeated by Chen Jin again. While excited, he was secretly sad, as if his personality was split.

Chen Wen defeated the Qing army again, besieged Quzhou again, and regained the strategic initiative that slipped away due to the Cao Conglong Rebellion. As a member of this group, Zhang Jun was naturally happy about this, especially when he thought of the faces of civil and military officials of the Lu State system on the Kinmen, which was separated by water, and this happiness immediately escalated into excitement. However, as a warrior, he was not able to attend the meeting, which was a great regret in life.

However, his general said that the military man took obeying orders as his duty, and welcomed the envoys to Jinhua, and escorted him to Jinhua. At the same time, Zhang Jun was also responsible for observing Zheng Chenggong's strength, but there was no need to force it. In a few months, how much he saw was, and it should not cause Zheng Jun's taboo.

It is normal to observe the power of allies. However, in contrast, although Zheng Chenggong asked Chen Wen about some things, such as background and marriage, he had never asked about matters such as organization, training, formation, and official positions within the Jinhua Ming Army. Even the officials in Zheng Chenggong's curtain were not like this.

Among them, Zheng Chenggong is very confident in his army and his own abilities, but Zhang Jun extended it to the level of feudal morality of warriors.

As for Zheng Chenggong's army, Zhang Jun secretly described it as "there must be many pirate ships" and "the vine armored soldiers were abused by Zhuge Wuhou in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Among them, it is not only because of the sore mouth that cannot eat grapes, but also because of superstition about his own group strength.

In fact, Zhang Jun's random thoughts were just a fragment of the situation in the southeast where the Ming army began to gradually improve. When the exact news of this great victory began to spread throughout the Qing Dynasty and local gentry in the southeast like the wind, the entire atmosphere since the Battle of Zhoushan also began to reversal to a certain extent.

The Battle of Zhoushan in the fifth year of Yongli was a year when the anti-Qing movement in Zhejiang was generally declared to be destroyed. Since then, the overall situation of the anti-Qing situation in Zhejiang has never had a chance of reversal, and even a large army that threatened the Qing Dynasty's rule in Zhejiang has not appeared. All of this began since the Ming army in Simingshan was encircled and suppressed by the Qing army in the fourth year of Yongli.

The encirclement and suppression of Simingshan in the fourth year of Yongli and the Battle of Zhoushan in the fifth year of Yongli did not change the overall trend in the overall situation. Although Chen Wen, who was weak, did his best, he only deviated from some track. However, after this battle, the victory of one against two proved that the Qing army in Zhejiang was one against two, and even the reinforcements from northern Fujian and Jiangxi were no longer the only remaining Ming army in terms of strength, and the battle situation in Zhejiang was no longer as expected by the Qing Dynasty.

The overall situation began to reverse, which made the Qing officials in the southeast begin to panic, especially Zhejiang. Because the heavy losses this time were the Qing army in this province, and officials in Fujian and Jiangxi were also trying to put the responsibility of Zheng Chenggong's capture of Zhangzhou and Zhang Zisheng's successful breakthrough on them. The Eight Banners in Hangzhou were still in front of the bastion that had blocked it for the second time, without even a single progress...

For this reason, Zhejiang Governor Xiao Qiyuan has not been asleep for several days since he received the news. When he closed his eyes, his mind was full of the scene of the Ming army attacking Quzhou after capturing Quzhou, and defeating the Eight Banners of Hangzhou, which had been under the city for a long time, and taking advantage of the victory to seize Hangzhou. Whenever he thought of this, his head would feel inexplicably painful.

To this end, Xiao Qiyuan took his busy schedule and specially invited a famous Suzhou doctor named Wu Youxing to treat him. The doctor did respond to the famous Wuxu scholar, saying that this heart disease still requires heart medicine, but the medicine cannot be stopped before the heart disease is treated.

Compared with the officials of the Qing Dynasty, the gentry who privately engaged in the anti-Qing movement, provided advice for the anti-Qing army, collected and conveyed information, and even sold their own resources to supply the rebel army, were very happy about this.

In Xixian Hall, on the southeast of the Biexian Mountain in Huzhou Prefecture, Wei Geng, who once asked Shizhong to convey information to Chen Wen, was drinking and chatting with several friends from his poetry club during this holiday.

Gui'an Qian Zhangzeng, Shanyin's grandson, Zhu Shizhi, Zhang Zongguan and Chen Sandao from Suzhou, these scholars had been with him for a long time, and they had interacted with each other in the name of poetry club singing and plotted against the Qing Dynasty in private. At this moment, they were drinking happily for the great victory that Chen Wen had half a month ago.

Although Chen Wen had never communicated with them, Wei Geng had collected information for him before, and even even though the two sides had never had any form of intersection, this victory was worthy of their cheers.

Since the Qing army headed south, Yangzhou has been slaughtered three times in Jiading, Nanjing and Hangzhou, and Emperor Hongguang and the governor Lu Wang went north one after another. Under the oppression of the national discrimination policy of "leaving your head but not leaving your hair, leaving your hair but not leaving your head" and the Qing Dynasty's attempt to exterminate the Chinese civilization, King Lu was under the support of a large number of Zhejiang gentry, and there were also many gentry from Southern Zhili. For example, Chen Zilong from Songjiang was appointed as the governor of Zhizhe and entered the army to supervise the army of Wu Yi, the army of Changxing, Taihu Lake.

However, although the Ming army in the Lu State Supervisory State system once fought with the Qing army in Qiantang River, it was still unable to do anything to the Qing army in Hangzhou. Behind the Qing army, Wei Geng also invited hundreds of students from various counties in Huzhou to lead the defeated scattered soldiers to regain many counties in Huzhou. However, under the counterattack of the Qing army, this anti-Qing uprising called "Tao Shang Battle" was quickly suppressed.

In the first year of the reign of the country, the Jiang Shangshi collapsed, and the Qing army crossed the Qiantang River and marched southward. The eastern Zhejiang prefectures fell one after another. The Lu Jianguo was forced to flee to the sea. The Duke of Jingguo Fang Guoan surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The Duke of Ningguo King Zhiren died for his country. Zhang Guowei and Zhu Dadian, the two great ministers in charge of the army, one was self-destructed and the other died for his country. There was also the massacre of Jinhua. More than 50,000 people were massacred by the Qing army in just three days.

With the destruction of the Longwu regime, King Lu was invited to Fujian, and the Qing army in Zhejiang was forced to go south to rescue Fujian, which was almost completely restored by several Ming troops including the Lujianguo Group.

The decline of the Qing army in Zhejiang has led to great development in the anti-Qing rebels in eastern Zhejiang during this period. Aside from Huang Binqing in Zhoushan, there are Wang Yi, Wang Jiang, Li Changxiang, Zhang Huangyan, Feng Jingdi, Yu Guowang, Jintang, Yao Zhizhuo in Tianmu Mountain, Yin Can and Zhou Qingui in Jinhua. Hundreds of rebel armies emerged like mushrooms after a rain, and even reached the point of "the lonely village and the far fortress were also built".

Some of these rebels may not have accepted the appointment of the Ming Dynasty, but most of them can persist in their determination to confront the Qing Dynasty.

However, when the Lu Jianguo Group broke with Zheng Cai, the local Fujian local area, Fujian quickly captured a large area of ​​lost land. Although the Lu Jianguo Group, which was forced to return to Zhejiang, successfully merged Huang Binqing, it was finally declared shattered in the Battle of Zhoushan in the fifth year of Yongli after repeated internal struggles. The fuse that ignited the failure of the Battle of Zhoushan was the Qing army encircled Simingshan the previous year.

Wei Geng and others did not know that after the end of the Battle of Zhoushan in the fifth year of Yongli in history, the anti-Qing movement in Zhejiang was completely suppressed by the Qing Dynasty and did not recover any vitality. Zhejiang also became a stable occupied area of ​​the Qing Dynasty. Even if Ma Xin and Zhoushan were controlled by the Ming army later, they could not change this reality.

However, with Chen Wen's efforts, the spark left by a rebel army that had already been destroyed gradually formed a prairie fire, which caused a great reversal in Zhejiang's anti-Qing situation. Even the Ming army in the adjacent provinces of Fujian and Jiangxi benefited. When they heard that Chen Wen defeated Chen Jin again and defeated the Qing army, including many elite green camps, and re-sieged Quzhou Prefecture City, their mood was in turmoil. They rushed to tell each other, which also accelerated the spread of this good news among the people.

Nowadays, the strategic initiative in southwest Zhejiang, and even the strategic initiative in the entire Zhejiang, has changed hands. If Zheng Chenggong, who was unable to bear the head of the local Qing army in Fujian, was in a state of reversal, the situation in these two provinces has been reversed, and even the Ming army is about to recover these two provinces. All of this is due to Chen Wen, who once supported them!

"Congratulations to Linhai Bo! Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty!"

At the same time, when Wei Geng and others raised their glasses to pay tribute to Quzhou in the south, in a large mansion in Yin County, Ningbo Prefecture, Lu Yuding, a scholar from Yin County, was paying homage to his old friend with a group of friends who were secretly carrying out the anti-Qing movement. Therefore, Wang Yi, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the left deputy governor of the Censor of the Zhizhe Administration.

Since Lu Yuding designed to steal Wang Yi's head last year, he has been hiding in the study at home. Except for his younger brother, even his children have never known it. Although Chen Wen, a general of Wang Yi, only defeated some southern green camp soldiers gathered in southwestern Zhejiang, its significance was extraordinary. Especially last year, Chen Jin, who proudly massacred countless people in Zhoushan, was surrounded again, which greatly encouraged the hearts of Zhejiang's anti-Qing people. Even some people who were already discouraged had the idea of ​​waiting and watching the situation to make another move.

Lu Yuding was always committed to funding the rebel army against the Qing Dynasty. His family was a first-class and rich family in history, and even sold out all his ancestral property for this reason. Even the debt was high, but the family was still the same.

"Zhou Ming, Wanxun is truly a wise person to know talents. The Linhai Bo won many battles. Perhaps we will be able to reap the clothes of the Han family within one or two years."

Hearing this, Lu Yuding nodded heavily. Because of Wang Yi, he had always had a good impression of Chen Wen. Even when the news of Cao Conglong's rebellion came to Ningbo, he did not slander Chen Wen from the perspective of a civil minister like others, because he firmly believed that Wang Yi would never misunderstand it.

"If it weren't for Cao Conglong's servant, Lin Haibo might have already restored Ningbo at this moment, and he could have been buried with Wanxun, Ji Zhong and You'an, so that loyal ministers and martyrs could be buried in peace."

"Those thieves who only know how to fight for power and profit are really hateful!"

As the victory spread in various versions, the four provinces in Jiangnan, especially the anti-Qing people in Zhejiang, were all excited, and they were looking forward to Chen Wen's rapid recovery of Quzhou and then heading north to restore the entire Zhejiang. However, compared to their spread, the documents that were urgently expedited to Beijing had already been sent to Beijing.

When the memorial was sent to the imperial court, Shunzhi was stunned at first, then became furious. Not only did he throw the memorial on the ground, but he also swept everything on the table.

In the strange atmosphere of the eunuchs who were attending him lowering their heads tremblingly and trying to integrate with the hall, Shunzhi cursed Chen Jin and Jin Li for being incompetent. One could not defeat an opponent with half of his own troops, and the other was even more than 10,000 people and was unable to move forward by a small fortress with only a few hundred people.

For this reason, he said strangely that he really could not understand why Dorgon was so stupid that he placed such a group of idiot slaves in such a critical province in Zhejiang, and completely threw away his praise and praise from Chen Jin, Jin Li and others after the Battle of Zhoushan last year. After his anger, Shunzhi summoned some powerful people and confidants to discuss countermeasures.

After several days of discussion, Shunzhi also gained a clearer understanding of the current situation. The Ming army in the Southeast seems to regain strategic initiative, but the limited force makes it difficult for them to achieve the expected results in expanding their battle results. Unlike the Ming army in the Southeast, the Ming army in several southwestern provinces has hundreds of thousands of troops, and even if it is only considered to be the war soldiers, it is incomparable to the two "little guys" in the Southeast who only occupy one or two palaces.

Moreover, Li Dingguo had just killed Kong Youde and occupied the entire Guangxi area in one go. Feng Shuangli from Huguang was also suppressing Shen Yongzhong's attack, and Liu Wenxiu from Sichuan was also heading north. If we included the great titles of the Yongli Emperor they followed, for the limited core force of the Qing Dynasty, it would naturally give priority to attacking and threatening more. Nikan's army was implementing this strategy, so there was no reason to change the course easily.

However, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the southeast are important places for wealth, not only grain, but also rich Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the occupied areas also occupy a huge proportion of the levies and taxes.

Jinhua captured by Chen Wen was in ruins and the tax revenue was really not high, but Quzhou was completely different. And more importantly, once Chen Wen took over Quzhou, whether to go west to Jiangxi or north to Hangzhou, even if it was just to collect the prefectures in eastern Zhejiang, it would be unbearable for the Qing Dynasty, so it was necessary to find a way to curb this momentum as soon as possible.

"The slave thinks that it is the primary priority to prevent the bandits Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong and Chen Wen, from reaching confluence between each other."

Seeing Hong Chengchou's answer, Shunzhi thought about it carefully and nodded. The overall situation of the Southeast and Southwest battlefields last year was still beneficial to the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the spirit was booming, but now it has completely reversed.

After receiving the news of the Qing army's defeat in Quzhou, Shunzhi wrote the series of words "Yun Guizhou Sun Kewang", "Guangxi Li Dingguo", "Sichuan Liu Wenxiu", "Fujian Zheng Chenggong" and "Zhejiang Chen Wen" on the screen in turn.

The first three are all from the remnants of the Western thieves, among which Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu can also be regarded as Sun Kewang's deployment; while Zheng Chenggong in the southeast and Chen Wen in Zhejiang were originally dominated by the Tang vas and Lu vas respectively. In theory, what Hong Chengchou said was impossible to be true, because the three people had irreconcilable contradictions in supporting each other.

However, with the occurrence of Zheng Chenggong's change to the title of the orthodox government of Lu and the name of the governor of Lu, these powerful Ming troops have all gathered under the Emperor Yongli. Once these three Ming troops, which were in the limelight this year, join forces at least, it will be the beginning of a total loss of one province and the overall collapse of the Southeast situation.

"Then Mr. Lao Hong."
