Chapter 62 Restless

The deputy envoy decided to stay in Zhejiang, which caused a stir in the mission, but only the two chief and deputy envoys had the right to speak for this. The envoy obviously knew more about the inside story about Zhang Gongyan's decision, but even so, he was still a little unsatisfied with it. What he said was that Chen Wen dug up the corner of their Qin Wang Mansion, but completely forgot about Zhang Gongyan's never served in the Qin Wang Mansion.

Chen Wen had previously talked with Zhang Gongyan about this matter. A passionate scholar was too optimistic about the Spanish phalanx and the Portuguese mercenaries.

However, it is no wonder that a person's personality and philosophy are directly related to his experience. Zhang Gongyan once guarded Guilin with Qu Shisi. At that time, the Portuguese mercenaries, who were only more than 300 people, defended Guilin City with a few heavy artillery, and once recovered many lost land.

This incident had a great impact. It not only delayed the progress of the Qing army in military affairs, but even the Emperor Yongli had brought royal personnel into the Catholic Church to revise the name of the missionaries, and then specially invited missionaries to the Roman Catholic Church for help. Even if we didn't talk about these, even in later generations, we never had any people who highly praised the Spanish phalanx and the Portuguese mercenaries in Macau.

A man once scoffed at Western learning and turned to vigorously promote it after experiencing great disasters because he saw hope in it. However, Chen Wen knew that mercenaries had fought for the Southern Ming Dynasty once in history, and the Ming army had never trained the Spanish phalanx. Even the envoys who went to the Roman Catholic Church to seek help did not return to China until Yongli died of forced Po to death. The reply was also the Holy See who rejected the request for help.

Chen Wen was also superstitious about the effect of the Spanish phalanx, but in Zhejiang, he could not use the Spanish phalanx at all. The water net was crisscrossing and the road was rugged. Especially in Siming Mountain, east of Zhejiang, where he first led his troops. If the Spanish phalanx he used at that time against the pursuit of the chasing camp, then there would still be a dead end, because the terrain at that time could not set the formation out at all. Without the formation, facing the Qing army, which was several times more than him and had richer combat experience, it would be new to win.

In contrast, although the Mandarin duck formation has not continued to develop, it is not a problem with the battle formation itself, but more because of political struggles.

Qi Jiguang's military book, the battle formation represents the starting point of the Ming Dynasty's military modernization path, and it is more suitable in Zhejiang's Yuanyang Formation, which was proved by the heads of tens of thousands of Japanese pirates and the astonishing exchange ratio. With the expansion of the army's scale and the increase in the intensity of the Qing army's encirclement and suppression, Chen Wen also compiled a spear formation to make up for the thinness of the Yuanyang Formation, which can be regarded as continuing on this road.

This scholar is very interesting. As for Sun Kewang's feelings, Chen Wen was too lazy to pay attention to it. It is true that he had hundreds of thousands of troops, but far southwest, a small Qin Palace also manages the affairs of my Da'anyuan Marquis' Mansion. Sun Kewang had the leisure to think about how to drive away the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolian Army that was blocked at the door of his house.

Not as complicated as Zheng Chenggong's mentality, Chen Wen only maintained the minimum politeness to Sun Kewang on the surface, because he knew very well what this guy would do in the future, and this time his life still strengthened his view.

The delegation left Jinhua along the old road, but this time it was afraid it would take more time to go back, because Guangxi, which had just been recovered by the Ming army when he came, had fallen again, and the Qing army's review of roads and pedestrians in Zhejiang became increasingly strict.

While the delegation brought Chen Wen to the Yongli court's memorial documents and memorials and contributions to the Yongli court, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month of the same year, Hangzhou Prefecture is now in front of Xu Lei's home in the Thunderbolt Central Army guarding Xu Lei's house, the wife, concubines and servants at home, who were under the righteous wife Yu, were waiting for the head of the family to "trium". However, at this moment, Xu Lei, who was riding a horse, was not at all here.

It was no different from last year. At that time, the threat from the Ming army of Zhejiang was only a possibility that came to mind. After all, it only repelled the Dubiao and the Green Camp of the Four Prefectures, and wiped out the Fubiao Camp, which underestimated the enemy and attacked the rashly. The Eight Banners and their High Biao Camp in Zhoushan had experienced a great battle and had not yet set off. But now it seems that if I had known that it would be like this year, even if the tired soldiers could not fight, they would have to force their troops. At least they would not be blocked by a fortress that could only hold hundreds of people in Anhua Town like now.

It has been a while since the army was withdrawn there, but only the Eight Banners in Hangzhou garrison returned to Hangzhou. Their Extra Biao Battalion and the rebuilt Fu Biao Battalion have only returned from Shaoxing Prefecture.

On the horse, he saw the female servants and servants in the family greeting him from afar. When he got off the horse, Xu Lei still said a few words to his wife Yu as usual. However, before he could enter the house, he suddenly remembered something. He glanced at the crowd and asked Yu, "Where is Li, why didn't he see her?"

Yu had long hated the concubine in his family, but there was no other reason. This woman was Xu Lei's sweetheart in the past, and even if she was just a concubine, she could not tolerate it at all. During this period, Xu Lei went to war with the army, so she was naturally the one who was in charge of the family. It was normal for some methods that had been used to add to the mother and daughter again. As for Xu Lei's return, she did not worry, because the mother and daughter of the Li family have always been timid and afraid of things, so naturally they did not dare to tell Xu Lei the truth.

The excuse of the mother and daughter of the Li family being infected with cold, and they thought they could be isolated, but who knew that Xu Lei ignored everything after he got sick and headed straight to the yard.

Following behind, Yu's face was already ashen. Xu Lei rushed into the courtyard regardless of concern, watching the Li family's mother and daughter washing clothes in the cold winter, which was exactly the same as last year.

Everyone in the courtyard stood there for a moment, and saw Xu Lei rushing forward with a quick step, quickly helped the Li family and his daughter up, then kicked the two wooden basins away, and then took the mother and daughter back to the room.

Looking at all this in amazement, Yu's pretty face was already ferocious. When Xu Lei had just entered the house, she glared fiercely at the old woman who was instructed by her to bully the mother and daughter, but saw that the old woman had collapsed on the ground.

"Should you wait for me for the good things you did!"

After saying that, Yu chased into the room in two steps. When she met Xu Lei's gaze again, she saw an unprecedented anger. Even when she framed the mother and daughter of the Li family, Xu Lei mistakenly thought that Li could not get pregnant, it was not like this.

"You Dao means that the male protagonist is outside and the female protagonist is inside. I am fighting outside. As the righteous wife, how do you manage the house for me?!"

Xu Lei was extremely angry. If it weren't for the fact that Yu Shi was the real wife, he would have taken action long ago. But even so, Yu Shi was so scared that she knelt down to the ground. Although she didn't understand why Xu Lei got such a big temper, she also knew that the person who tied the bell was still required to untie the bell.

Feeling Yu's gaze, Li Ruixin's sister knelt down on the side as if she was stabbed by a needle and said to Xu Lei: "Master, this matter has nothing to do with my sister, but I am really too idle to stay..."

Since he had the cold and could not rest, Xu Lei naturally understood the tricks here. However, Yu's father was Yu Fenqi, the deputy general of the Central Camp of the Higher Billion Camp. He and his uncle Xu Xin were generally Tian Xiong's confidant generals. Although the Ming army in Zhejiang is in full swing now, and the Ming army general Li Ruixin followed is even more unaffected, but Zhejiang is still the Qing army is stronger now, and he doesn't want to take this matter out of the way. After all, if the idea of ​​riding a fence is known, it will definitely affect the career of the officialdom.

He stood up and helped Li up, and Xu Lei said to Yu, who was still kneeling there: "I have already said before that our Xu family, your parents' family and Li's family. The three families have followed the Duke of Jingguo for so many years. Although you and Li are not the same compatriots, they are naturally like sisters when they enter the gate of my Xu family. I don't want to see such things again in the future."
