Compared to the three places mentioned by Liu Cheng, Jiangnan is naturally more important, but Chen Wen can't do it in a short time if he wants to attack Jiangnan. He also needs to accumulate more strength to compete with the Qing Dynasty for this important place of wealth. Tianlai Novel | 2

As time passed day by day, Liu Cheng's words gradually began to be confirmed, making Ma Guozhu look at this rare general who surrendered to Zhejiang. Since Chen Wen has not yet moved, all he needs to do is wait for Yue Le's reinforcements. It is enough to hand over the next thing to Prince An, and he only needs to cooperate with it.

The news that Hong Chengchou was killed and Chen Wen swept across Jiangxi quickly spread throughout the Jiangnan officialdom, and the gentry with connections even got the news from familiar officials and even officials at the first time, which was already aroused in the entire Jiangnan.

In Hongdou Villa, Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi were playing chess in the room. The servants who were serving him had already left, and only Qian Qianyi's disciple Deng Qixi was serving him.

"Are you really that?"

"I just got the news that the students could clearly see at Longjiang Pass in Nanjing. There were only a few thousand people who escaped from the remnants of the Southeast Jingbiao. After a casual inquiry, you will know that Hong Chengchou died in Guangxin Mansion and the army was gone."

"Very good!"

Hearing this answer, Qian Qianyi was naturally so excited that he couldn't help himself, but the energy quickly passed. He suddenly felt depressed and sat down again, becoming silent.

"Muzhai, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Liu Rushi and Deng Qixi were both looking at him with concern, Qian Qianyi sighed.

"The three rounds of the cherry plate are probably not done."

As soon as this statement was made, both of them were stunned on the spot. Qian Qianyi's three rounds of the Lumbardry had several key points. First, the Ming army in the southwest recovered Huguang, then went downstream from Wuchang, and finally, the Ming army in the southeast recovered Nanjing, thus achieving the strategic goal of blocking the Yangtze River, sorting out the south, and accumulating strength to the Northern Expedition.

Among them, the Ming army in the Southwest is the main force, while the Ming army in the Southeast is just an auxiliary, which is related to the situation of setting the timing. However, now, the Ming army in the Southwest has not yet moved, Chen Wen took the lead in breaking into Jiangxi, severing the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and forming a strategic siege of Jiangnan. Although they are all Ming army, they belong to different systems, and cooperation is probably unlikely. It is better not to fight together.

"Muzhai, after all, it's a good thing. The Duke of Xiuguo is very good at war. The tough battles he has fought in recent years are no less than those of the Southwest King's Division. I think it's possible to recover Nanjing."

As Chen Wen entered Jiangxi, the battle situation in the south was a turbulent reversal for the Ming army, which was naturally a good thing. But if you think about it carefully, it was normal for Qian Qianyi to do this. After all, this was the result of his years of hard work. If it was ruined, it would inevitably be heartbroken.

"Hedong Jun, what you said is that I am too obsessed with it." Speaking of this, Qian Qianyi thought for a moment, then turned to Deng Qixi and said, "I still need to ask my son to come. It seems that he must go to Jinhua specifically."

……………………

By late July, the administrative system represented by the civil servants of the Ming army in Zhejiang and the officers of the garrison stationed in each county had entered each county and began to exercise ruling power.

With the arrival of the garrison, the barracks originally scattered in various counties were reunited, took vacations, supplemented the loss, and divided troops to protect the investigation team composed of the staff of the Duke of Xiuguo, civil servants of the Zhejiang Governor's yamen and officials of the garrison office. They began to investigate and collect evidence on the situation of the garrison offices in these ten prefectures, and the abolition of the old garrison offices will be gradually launched after this.

While Chen Wen was integrating the Guangfu District, the envoys who rushed to the Qinwang Mansion in Guiyang, escorted by the Ming army in the southwest.

"In April, our Zhejiang King's Division dispatched five battalions of troops to the north to rescue the Simingshan rebels besieged by the Tatars. They first defeated Dinghai Town Biao in Simingshan Town, and then went north to lift the Tatars' siege of Dalan Mountain. Finally, they defeated the Eight Banners of Hangzhou and Zhejiang on the shore of Siming Lake, and pacified Biao. They captured dozens of military generals from Zhejiang's Admiral Tian Xiong alive, and dug up Tian Xiong's heart to sacrifice tens of thousands of loyal souls who were killed on the shore of Siming Lake four years ago."

"May……"

The envoys of the victory reported a series of victory won by the Ming army in the past few months in the main hall of the Qin Palace. Sun Kewang had already read the news on behalf of the Emperor Yongli, and even circulated it to Fan Mong, the Secretary of the Qin Palace, including Lei Yuelong, the military officer and the military officer of the Qin Palace, Lihu, and other ministers of the Qin Palace, Wanniance, and his confidant Fang Yuxuan. At this moment, in addition to Chen Wen's envoy of the victory, the imperial envoy of the Qin Palace were still talking, and the emperor and ministers of the Qin Palace, from Sun Kewang, stood here, staring at the sight of all this life.

"Hong Chengchou, dead?"

When Sun Kewang followed Zhang Xianzhong, he had many fights with Hong Chengchou and was hung up and beaten many times. It was not until Hong Chengchou was transferred to the Liaodong front line that Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai dared to rebel again, and Li Zicheng dared to come out of Shangluo Mountain at that time.

In those years, the power that Hong Chengchou brought to him was so great that he felt a little afraid until now when he heard Hong Chengchou's name. However, such a demon-like existence died at the hands of the Ming army in Zhejiang, and was executed by Chen Wen in public, which made Sun Kewang's hand tremble unconsciously on the armrest of the Grand Master's chair.

"You go down first."

In the past six months, Sun Kewang was in a very bad mood. Last year, the court officials from Yongli sent people to join Li Dingguo. If Ma Jixiang had not come back and told him about this matter, I would have been kept in the dark. This is a big deal. After the battle at the fork in the road, his prestige in the Western Army took a sharp decline.

In order to restore reputation, Liu Wenxiu was ordered to take the lead in the big move, and the commander's army attacked Huguang to open up the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and then go down the river. This was planned in the three games of Qiping. Yao Zhizhuo guaranteed Qian Qianyi in front of him that Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong would do their best to cooperate, and that he could just wait for his army to capture Wuchang and advance eastward.

This year is the agreed year. Unexpectedly, Liu Wenxiu first refused to accept the appointment, and then finally accepted it, but he started to rush to attack with all kinds of reasons. For thousands of reasons, he did not rush to attack. Now half a year has passed, and the Ming army in the Southeast must have been waiting in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but Liu Wenxiu was still as moving as a mountain. Compared with Fan Wencheng, he really made him angry.

Even if he was anxious, Sun Kewang didn't dare to lead the troops himself. In the Daxi Army, he could only rely on Liu Wenxiu to control the generals. He could not ask Li Dingguo.

It was easy to say and said nothing, but Chen Wen took the lead in regaining Jiangxi before he could wait. The rare good news of Li Dingguo killing Nikan was delivered, but Sun Kewang's mood even fell to the bottom.

"The king of the country, Hong Chengchou, but Chen Wen has made a decision without authorization, and sooner or later it will be a big problem."

As soon as Fang Yuxuan made this statement, Lei Yuelong and the Shangshu did not take over this. The Southeast is richer than the Southwest. This is an indisputable fact. Even if he was repeatedly slaughtered, Chen Wen, who was nearly two provinces in his hands, would immediately have the capital to compete with Sun Kewang as long as he transformed Jiangxi into a basic market.

If Sun Kewang was just a minister, who was determined to revive the Ming Dynasty and was determined to fight under the Yongli Emperor, then it would be fine, it would be nothing more than a question of the rankings in Lingyan Pavilion, and who was higher or lower. But everyone present knew what Sun Kewang was thinking. Chen Wen's strength had increased significantly, which was a good thing for the Ming court, but he had another equal opponent for him, and it would be strange if he could get better.

It is certain that eight prefectures swallowed the territory of a province in one breath. Indigestion is certain. Now is Chen Wen's weakest period. Sun Kewang's only chance is to take advantage of the situation and defeat Chen Wen back to his original form. However, Huguang also has a fan Wencheng. This guy and the bastard named Chen Tai but not the surname Chen are not easy to mess with. Liu Wenxiu, the coach of the front enemy, was slow and the opportunity was fleeting. Chen Wen's momentum was probably difficult to curb.

"I think it's better to withdraw from Huguang and show goodwill to Fan Wencheng, so that he can move east with peace of mind. When both he and Chen Wen are both injured, they will gain the benefits of the fisherman."

"I'm afraid Fan Wencheng won't be fooled."

The Western Army always threatened the main force of the Qing army in Huguang, making them dare not move lightly. This was impossible because Sun Kewang was still trying his best to complete the third game of the Luping. Even if we don’t talk about this, Sichuan was completely destroyed and everyone was killed. It was not a good strategic direction. Guangxi and Guangdong are now the location of Li Dingguo. When they attacked Sun Kewang, they dared to attack him, but they lacked confidence. The only thing left was Huguang. Ten% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100% of the 100%.

"You two are surnamed Fan, how can you be sure that there is a fool in Changsha?"

Sun Kewang did not say anything, but he did not agree with Fan Yan's opinion. Chen Wen's problem is still a hidden worry. At least Chen Wen would send the memorial to the Qin Palace according to the rules, and the envoy would turn to Anlong under the arrangement of the Qin Palace to pay homage to Emperor Yongli.

In comparison, the issue of prestige within the Daxi Army was his real weakness, especially with a strong competitor like Li Dingguo, it seemed even more imminent.

"The king of the country, I think it is necessary to send troops. Chen Wen killed Hong Chengchou, and Fan Wen, Cheng Tu died and fox was sad. Now Chen Wen is not able to intervene in the war in Huguang, so we can take advantage of this time to take Huguang down. At that time, with Yunnan, Guizhou and Huguang, we will try to integrate the two provinces of Sichuan, Guangxi, and five provinces, which can surpass Zhejiang and Jiangxi. Next, we will use the third game of the Luping to control Jiujiang and Jiangnan. Chen Wen will not be worried about the king."

"What Wan Shangshu said is very much."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

“…”

The echoes of a group of trusted officials helped Sun Kewang set the tune, and the rest were the details. After working hard for a long time, all the rewards were prepared, while Sun Kewang's envoy would take the lead and go to Anlong, and then let Chen Wen's envoy go to pay homage, just as before.

It was very late that Lei Yuelong returned home. He was the Grand Secretary of the Xingying. Although the following Shangshu were Sun Kewang's confidants, he was still the main one. Even on the surface, he could only leave.

Before entering the house, the wife and son were already waiting. When he came back, he served him diligently, no different from usual.

When he came back, Lei Yuelong always had to chat with his son for a while. At this time, his wife returned to the room and left him to sit with his son to talk about state affairs. This was also a method for Lei Yuelong to teach his children.

"My father, I remember that when King Xining captured the rebel thief Chen Bangfu, His Highness of Qin also made a decision on his own, and skinned Chen Bangfu and his son to show his way. Now he has bitten Duke Xiu, it seems..."

"A gentleman is quick to act and slow to speak. Just know it. If he passes it outside, he will cause trouble."

"Boy understand."

When his son bowed and Lei Yuelong was relieved. His son was still not in other aspects, but he could do it with his mouth tightly. This is why he was willing to use state affairs and government affairs to teach him directly.

When Li Dingguo entered Guilin and forced Kong Youde to death. He also captured the father and son of Chen Bangfu, who had tried to rob Yongli to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and lured the powerful general Xuan Guogong Jiao Lian in the court. It was a great pleasure. When he came to the Qin Palace, Sun Kewang cut off Chen Bangfu on his own, but he had never passed by Yongli at all. Later, the censor Li Ruyue impeached Sun Kewang to kill the honorary ministers without considering Chen Bangfu's actions and the reality of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. As a result, he was killed by Sun Kewang, which was mostly inside the story of the Yongli court and the Qin Palace fighting for power and profit.

This time, Chen Wen had arbitrarily cut off Hong Chengchou, and Sun Kewang and his confidants immediately led him as an enemy. This was the inevitable reaction of the beasts in the forest when they saw the same kind. However, this kind of person is still a potential threat now, unlike the Yongli court in the past, and not like Li Dingguo, who was also from the Western Army, so the contradictions did not intensify.

"My father, the child thought that Duke Xiu killed Hong Chengchou, which was a good thing for the court."

"oh?"

Seeing Lei Yuelong's inquiring eyes coming, Mr. Lei couldn't help but cheer up and replied to his father: "Duke Xiuguo killed Hong Chengchou, and Hong Chengchou would be a dead person. If Duke Xiuguo sent someone to send him to Guiyang, it would be one thing to do on the way. When he arrived in Guiyang, His Highness King Qin would probably stop by himself, just like Chen Bangfu."

"It's easy to kill him; if Hong Chengchou convinced His Highness the King of Qin to forgive his children for being disrespectful with his prestige and qualifications, his father would be very difficult to fight with him."

"My son can think of this and it will be worthy of being a professor for his father over the years."

Lei Yuelong had already thought of this possibility. When he heard his son think of it, he immediately felt relieved.

"It's not just that, Hong Chengchou's prestige and ability are far superior to being a father. Even the current Sichuan-European Supervisor's Literature Grand Secretary is far from comparable to him."

Wen Anzhi, the governor of Sichuan and Hubei, was the Grand Secretary of the Kuidong generals, who was responsible for commanding the generals of Kuidong, and was a member of the clan of the former Prime Minister of Song Wen Tianxiang. When he entered the Yongli court, Yan Qiheng, the cabinet assistant at that time, immediately retreated to the secondary assistant. With Wen Anzhi as his example, he showed that his prestige and talent were powerful. But even so, Wen Anzhi could not compare with Hong Chengchou. All the famous ministers who could compete with him were now dead. If Hong Chengchou was willing to surrender, whether it was the camp of the Qin Palace or the Yongli court, a cabinet assistant minister would definitely be a foregone conclusion.

Chen Wen killed Hong Chengchou without authorization, not only to relieve this hidden danger for himself, but even Lei Yuelong and the others could benefit. Just now, Lei Yuelong did not take the lead in taking damage like Fan Mine and others in the Qin Palace, but he was already rewarded. Only those who were even less politically wise would have picked up the topic.

"The child thinks that even if Hong Chengchou does not surrender, His Highness, or the Emperor, will probably not kill him directly like Duke Xiu. He will probably plan to exchange something for the Luting Court, and maybe he will."

"This possibility is very great. After all, Hong Chengchou is indeed an ordinary person and cannot be treated by ordinary people. Duke Xiuguo eliminates this great harm to the world, and he is really a hero of the world!"

Once Hong Chengchou enters the southwest boundary, the variables of the Yongli court and the Qin Palace are too huge. They may not be able to figure it out in a short while, and the chain reaction brought by each possibility will cause even greater shock.

But now, this hot potato has been solved by Chen Wen, and everything has come to normal. Those who completely subvert everything will disappear. It is a great thing for many people, so why don’t they praise Chen Wen loudly?

On the second day, Lei Yuelong went to the Qin Palace as usual to serve. The tone of the matter about Jiangxi was set yesterday. Today, Sun Kewang did not intend to repent, so he continued to carry out. The envoys who went to Anlong and Nanchang left first, while Chen Wen's envoys would set off in a few hours in the evening.

After these matters were handled, Lei Yuelong returned to the office. There were still many official duties, nothing more than political affairs in Yunnan and Guizhou. Unexpectedly, before his butt was warm, a soldier from the Qin Palace ran in in a hurry.

"The Lord summoned."

"What's the matter?"
