Chapter 4 Volatility

Whether it is beneficial, how much benefit or damage is, but the answer obtained by reason is not what I wish. As soon as Chen Wen's answer was released, Zheng Tai did not continue to ask, but immediately changed the topic after congratulations. However, Chen Wen said that most of the civil servants and generals present looked as if they were taken for granted or indeed such an expression. Only Zhou Jingting's expression seemed a little strange.

Chen Wen didn't notice this, but just said what he thought. He didn't have any mental cleanliness in political marriages, and it seemed nothing abnormal to him to follow the local customs. However, in this world, civil servants in the military supervising dare to stab the sword in the back. The conflicts and struggles between various forces cannot be solved by just solving them. Zheng Chenggong has the interests of Zheng Chenggong, and Chen Wen also has his interests. It is better to seek others than to seek others. Besides, does the Zheng family's daughter definitely not lose the appointment if she gets married?

After the cup of tea, although the Ming army in Zhejiang has not yet reached the sea, trade matters seem less urgent, Zheng Tai has a very high position in the Zheng group, and the economic lifeline of the Ming army in Fujian, the sea trade, was controlled by him. In addition to negotiating trade, it also lays the foundation for alliance. Since the matter was over, Zheng Tai set off for a day of rest, and returned to Fujian.

There was no killing without a transaction. There was no illegal arms dealer authorized by the Ministry of Works, and the traffickers of the Qing army were abducted and sold thousands of people from the Eight Banners families. Chen Wen, a trafficker from the Eight Banners family, bid farewell to Zheng Taiyi, an unscrupulous businessman who knew the law and violated the law. The latter embarked on the road to return to Fujian. Zheng Tai set out, but some people had reached their destination. However, it was not Jinhua, but Guiyang far away in the southwest. To be precise, it should be Guiyang Qinwang Mansion.

King Sun Kewang of Qin, as the most powerful existence among the major Ming army groups, actually did not have a very smooth time.

The previous battle at the fork-road crossing was originally a small victory over the Qing army, but the Qing army returned, and the result was that reinforcements were directly drawn to Sun Kewang's central army. At that time, the Ming army was not without reserves, and the number was not enough. However, Sun Kewang was not a powerful general in the Daxi Army since Zhang Xianzhong was alive. Instead, he became the leader of the four princes of the Daxi Army with his good at greeting Zhang Xianzhong and his strong internal affairs and logistics capabilities. He has been rich and prosperous for many years, and now he is the King of Qin. His courage has long been eroded. In the face of the side attacks of the Qing army, not only did not personally launch a counterattack, but instead abandoned the army and fled, which really lost his face.

Fortunately, among the Ming army in the southwest, Ainengqi died early, Liu Wenxiu lost power due to the defeat of Baoning, Li Dingguo left, Sun Kewang had the Emperor Yongli in his hands, and most of the officials and military leaders below came from his command. At present, they could still maintain the basic structure of Yunnan and Guizhou, and the Ming army in the southwest would not be divided, but the bitterness could not be explained in one sentence or two.

After the Battle of the Fork Road Crossing, although the Qing army occupied Baoqing Prefecture, the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia that participated in the battle suffered a lot and lost the ability to continue attacking. The Ming army in the Southwest turned to the defensive trend with that crushing defeat, no longer regaining the powerful offensive in the sixth year of Yongli.

More than a month after the Battle of Fork Road ended, due to Guangxi's re-fall, the envoys who went to Fujian and Zhejiang returned late. Sun Kewang was furious after receiving the report that Zhang Gongyan stayed in Zhejiang. In his words, it was clearly that Chen Wenming was blatantly digging the corner of his Qin Palace.

However, the corner of the wall was dug. After the battle of the fork in the road, Sun Kewang was no longer as confident in military affairs. Moreover, Zhejiang was thousands of miles away, and his title of King Qin was not enough to weigh on Chen Wen, the marquis. In addition, the envoy of the Imperial Execution brought Chen Wen to defeat the Qing army, kill Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and recover the Quzhou Prefecture, as well as the persuasion of several close friends such as Fan Mine and Wanniance, the matter could only be left unresolved.

It is already the beginning of July, and Sun Kewang has already left behind Chen Wen's affairs behind. He has always tried his best to restore his vitality to the army and he ignored the matter of going to the southeast at all. However, it is very different at this time, because the advice given by the visitor is no longer just southeast, but the southwest is as simple as the southwest.

The person who came was not someone else, but also the representatives of the Southeast anti-Qing people such as Qian Qianyi, the Minister of Rites of the Hongguang Dynasty, He Wangsheng, the Chief of the Office of the Ministry of War, and Li Zhichun, the General Secretary of the State Administration of the Lujian Dynasty.

Yao Zhizhuo came here for the purpose of Qian Qianyi showing Chen Wen's "Three Games of the Celestial Plate". As Chen Wen said, after the discussion, Yao Zhizhuo personally led someone to see Sun Kewang. He went to Guiyang City a few days ago and asked He Wangsheng's Grand Secretary Lei Yuelong to have a relationship. Today, he finally met Sun Kewang, the Qin King.

"......As a result, the king led the king's army to recover Huguang and went downstream from Wuchang. There were Mu Weng, Chief He, Li Tushi and others in the southern Zhili to contact and recruit the rebel army. The Duke of Zhangguo of Fujian was the master of the coast of Fujian and Guangdong. He had already responded to Mu Weng's move and was willing to block the Yangtze River with a boat army. The Marquis of Anyuan, Zhejiang repeatedly defeated the strong front and agreed with Mu Weng that he would carry the iron armor of all Zhejiang to attack Jiangxi when he heard the king advance eastward. Just wait for the king to arrive, the king's army in the southwest and southeast to form a unit to block the Yangtze River. It can be seen that the enemy's court will be defeated."

When Yao Zhizhuo explained the "Three Games of the Celestials" to Sun Kewang, he did not mention Li Dingguo. He could even say that he regarded this famous general who "two famous kings shocked the world" as non-existent, and completely regarded Sun Kewang as the leader of the Ming army in the Southwest. This was Lei Yuelong's advice. The conflict between Sun and Li had reached an irreconcilable point. If Li Dingguo was allowed to be inserted into the plan, Sun Kewang would probably not agree.

Sun Kewang was quite approving of Yao Zhizhuo's talk, but when he heard that Chen Wen was involved, he always felt a little unnatural.

Chen Wen was quite disgusted after returning from the envoy of the Imperial Examination. Poaching was one thing, which shows that Chen Wen, the marquis, did not take it very seriously to Sun Kewang, the King of Qin, and respect was only on the surface. Originally, he thought he was just a guy who didn't know how to be tall and strong. As a result, when Yao Zhizhuo arrived in Guiyang, Sun Kewang received a report on the failure of the "Four Provincial Capital Suppression" of the Qing army in the Southeast to mobilize mobile forces, which particularly clearly demonstrated the fact that Chen Wen defeated the Eight Banners Group of the Han Army and killed Shi Tingzhu, the veteran general of the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

Although it is only the Eight Banners of the Han army, which is not as good as the glorious achievements of the Ming army in the southwest, the one who is the two famous kings is Li Dingguo, not Sun Kewang. Li Dingguo has now broken up with him. Chen Wen is now just a marquis, only three palaces, and only tens of thousands of soldiers dare to dig out the corners of the Qin palace. In the future, it may be another Li Dingguo.
