Chapter 34 Under Radiation

The envoy of the Imperial Execution was still on the way, and Chen Wen had already launched an attack on Jiangshan County. Due to the geographical location of Jiangshan County, the Ming army had to give up the plan to siege the city and scatter the horses out. After making and assembled the siege equipment, it launched an attack on the northern city wall.

The war in Jiangshan County was in full swing. The news of Chen Wen recovering Quzhou and killing Chen Jin also spread to the four southeastern provinces at an even more astonishing speed, even to the point where everyone knows it.

A month ago, the Ming army in Zhejiang led by Chen Wen defeated the superior Qing army in one battle and surrounded Quzhou for the second time. But after all, if the Qing army was defeated and if they could not take advantage of the situation to recover Quzhou, who would know if there would be any accidents again? The result was like the Cao Conglong Rebellion that all the efforts of the Ming army were wasted.

But now, not only has Quzhou been recovered by the Ming army, but even Chen Jin is dead. That is a governor, who died at the hands of the Ming army. If you think of Li Dingguo in Guangxi killing Kong Youde, then this year, it might be the beginning of the Ming army's counterattack and the Ming Dynasty's revival.

However, compared with Li Dingguo, the scholars in the southeast are more optimistic about Chen Wen, who is still relatively weak now. The reason is that although Li Dingguo killed Kong Youde, he was a bandit after all. This prejudice made them feel that Chen Wen, who was born as a "hereditary hundred households", was more like a famous ZTE general who should have appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

For a time, Chen Wen's reputation spread throughout the southeast, and Chen Jin's death even told people. But whether it was Li Dingguo, Chen Wen, or Zheng Chenggong on the Fujian battlefield, these Ming army commanders had never confronted the Eight Banners of Manchuria, which also made those who were looking forward to restoring the Han world day and night, and there was a hint of worry while having hope.

Qian Qianyi was worried for the siege in Quzhou for a long time, afraid that something would happen again. At that time, he even prayed secretly that Chen Wen must take down Quzhou, and even if he was escaped by Chen Jin, he would do whatever he could. However, once he thought of the chaos and struggles between and within the Ming army in recent years, the feeling of worry was even more unbearable.

Along the way, his uneasiness made him lose his mind to exchange opinions with some of the anti-Qing people who had been in contact with him. He just gave Deng Qixi a task, and Qian Qianyi hurried back home. However, he did not expect that he received the news the day after returning home.

That night, on the pleasure boat in the lake, Qian Qianyi and his concubine Liu Rushi drank happily for the victory of the Southeast Ming army until dawn. Later, he could no longer remember how much wine he drank, how many poems he wrote, or how many articles he wrote. Qian Qianyi only remembered that Liu Rushi was very happy. It can even be said that he had been in the years since he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and had never been as happy as yesterday.

The next day, he woke up slowly at noon, and watched Liu Rushi come slowly and deliver the sobering soup to his mouth. The radiant look made Qian Qianyi feel that he was suddenly twenty years younger.

Qian Qianyi, who was consciously "reverse growth", talked again with Liu Rushi about the whole trip. Although Chen Wen did not bite to death and marched towards Jiangxi, his grand plan for the "Three Games of the Lu Ping" was still recognized by him.

Yao Zhizhuo came back with Qian Qianyi this time, and there was also a Confucian scholar named Zhu Quangu. Since Chen Wen had agreed to fight together, Qian Qianyi decided to send someone to persuade Zheng Chenggong, and at the same time, he stepped up contact with Li Zhichun, the Grand Secretary of the Supervisor appointed by the Lujian Dynasty, Zhang Zhongfu, the Minister of War, and He Wangsheng, the former head of the Ministry of War. These people secretly intersected with many small anti-Qing armed forces. This time, they strive to concentrate the power of the anti-Qing forces in the southeast, which were either open or secretly, on this plan.

Of course, this plan is mainly composed of the Southwest Ming Army as the main force, and He Wangsheng's master Lei Yuelong is now a Grand Secretary of the Qin Wang Mansion Camp, which is also of great benefit to convince Sun Kewang.

However, Qian Qianyi knew more than others, so the hidden worries about the Ming army's situation were much greater than those of others.

In the southwest battlefield, Nikan had led an army of the Eight Banners of Manchuria to head south, only two months away from the Ming army's occupied area in Huguang. Whether it could persist was the key to this plan. Relatively speaking, the news that Hong Chengchou was appointed as the Southeast Strategic was likely to be a misunderstanding, because Qian Qianyi's source did not receive the news that Hong Chengchou appeared in Jiangnan. Instead, Ma Guozhu has been commanding the Southeast Qing army in a unified manner, trying to reduce the threat of the Zhejiang Ming army.

The subsequent news needs to be informed of Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong as soon as possible, but in any case, the plan to support Chen Wen has been decided. As long as Chen Wen can maintain his existence in Zhejiang, it will only be a good thing for the anti-Qing people in the southeast, and it cannot be a bad thing. This is not only for Ming army armed forces such as Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Zisheng, but also for other people who are determined to drive away the Qing Dynasty.

A few days later, Deng Qixi brought two Confucian scholars to Hongdou Villa. One looked about forty and was quite windy and frosty, while the other was only in his early twenties. He looked like a talented man who was well-read in poetry and books, but when he walked, he always turned his center of gravity to the side of his right leg.

Qian Qianyi was the leader of the Southeast literary world and the leader of the Wenzong in the late Ming Dynasty. In terms of talent and knowledge, even Gu Yanwu, who was always ashamed of his character, had to praise his talent.

Among these two, the older one was a good friend of Guizhuang and secretly engaged in anti-Qing work. He did not know Qian Qianyi’s actions in recent years. Although the younger one did not know Qian Qianyi, he was a well-known talented man from Zhejiang. His brother had followed Shi Kefa to guard Yangzhou, and his nephew was also captured and killed by the Qing army after the failure of the anti-Qing Dynasty. He had an irreconcilable hatred with the Qing Dynasty. This person could come today, and I think he already had a certain understanding of this trip.

Time is tight, and Qian Qianyi did not greet him any more. Before they sat down, they went straight to the topic. "Xiaxin, Zhuang Sheng, I invite you and the two to come this time, so I dare to invite you to Jinhua to help Lin Haibo with his help."

"I really want to ask for it." After that, the older Confucian scholar stood up and bowed.

After getting up and recalling the gift, Qian Qianyi turned to the young Confucian scholar, but heard the man say, "Although the students are a little talented, they dare not fall behind. It's just Mr. Mu. I think this time it's not just for me to go and listen to it, right?"

While the young Confucian scholar showed doubts, the older Confucian scholar was unmoved at all. He seemed to have guessed the considerations behind Qian Qianyi's move.

After glanced over, he immediately understood it, so Qian Qianyi told the young man his thoughts.

Before and after Chen Wen returned, Qian Qianyi stayed in Jinhua Mansion for several days, and Sun Yu did not hide anything from him, so Qian Qianyi also noticed some of the changes in Jinhua Mansion.
