Chapter 119 Nails
The news of the division of land soon spread throughout the occupied areas of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In Nanchang, Nanxiong, Shaowu, Jinhua, and even Ningshao, every Ming army who received the news was cheering. Tianlai Novel WWEven the Ming army soldiers who did not have the chance to be assigned to Tian Tu this time, they would look at all this with envious eyes, and secretly make up their minds to fight bravely in the next battle to gain military merits.
Amid the laughter of the soldiers, the Fujian Left General Office in Shaowu, Zhang Zisheng, who had just been named Pingjiang Marquis, was deeply immersed in uneasiness.
The yamen here originally belonged to Wang Zhigang. Zhang Zisheng had many confronted Wang Zhigang in Jiangxi, but basically never took any advantage. Later, Jie Chongxi and others were captured by Yang Minggao and the entire Wang Zhigang, and eventually died in the Shaowu Mansion City.
Not long ago, Zhang Zisheng killed this great enemy in Shaowu, which was proud. As a senior officer, he also knew the deal between Chen Wen and Geng Jimao. Chen Wen was able to force Wang Zhigang to deal with him, which shows his attention to him and the Jiangxi anti-Qing martyrs who fought with him in Jiangxi. This emphasis on the deceased and the living was what moved Zhang Zisheng the most.
It has been a year since he joined the then Ming army of Zhejiang last year. A year later, the Ming army of Zhejiang evolved into the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and his old subordinates also got rid of the days of dying day. Even he learned a lot from this, not to mention that he had avenged such blood feud.
Now that Chen Wen was awarded the title of Prince, he was promoted from a count to a marquis. This was a good thing, but the envoy of the Xuanzhe who had just left Shaowu and turned to Zhejiang left him a considerable hidden danger.
The generals of Jiangxi and other places were given special gifts of python jade, and they were given cheap actions, and they were sealed by the vanguard general of the Pinglu, the right governor of the former army's governor's office, the prince's Taibao, and the Marquis of Pingjiang.
This is the full name of Zhang Zisheng's official position. Pingjiang Hou is the most important and most conspicuous. However, the admiral Jiangxi military officer, who was already in charge of the Shangfang Sword when he was named Pingjiang Bo, was in the four words "Shangfang Sword" that he had already done cheaply. In theory, he already had the qualification to be an enemy with Chen Wen, the commander of the Ming Army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Especially since he was from Jiangxi, the position of the Governor's Office was also in the Governor's Office of the former Army, and it was not the Left Governor's Office of Chen Wen and most generals of the Ming Army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It is also legally recognized that it is no longer subject to its restraint.
Since joining Chen Wen's command, Zhang Zisheng has never thought of deviating, especially when Wang Zhigang appeared in front of him with a wide range of tied flowers, this kindness can no longer be described in words.
However, the nails in the enthronement edict were buried in the most conspicuous place. Zhang Zisheng knew that Chen Wen had received the imperial edict, so he took it happily without reacting at that time. But now he thought about it, he was sweating all over. Jiangxi was the only complete province in the land that Chen Wen recovered. He was a native of Jiangxi. If he was to supervise Jiangxi military affairs, he would leave any head coach's heart.
"Do you want to explain it to the king?" Thinking of this, Zhang Zisheng shook his head unconsciously. "I don't have any ghosts in my heart. Do you need an explanation? Even if there are no knots, I'm afraid I will get knots."
He cursed himself insidiously and Zhang Zisheng immediately cursed Sun Kewang, who had caused this trouble in his heart.
The irritability made it difficult for Zhang Zisheng to calm down and deal with official duties. In the current situation in Fujian, the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang recovered Shaowu and Tingzhou, Geng Jimao occupied Quanzhou and Xinghua Prefectures, and Zheng Chenggong had all Zhangzhou Prefectures, and the remaining Fuzhou Prefectures, Jianning Prefectures, Yanping Prefectures and Funing Prefectures were still in the hands of Liu Qingtai, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian.
Should he maintain the defensive momentum in Fujian or continue to make progress. If he is enterprising, is it that the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang attacked from Zhejiang and Fujian, or whether he joined forces with the two allies of Zheng Chenggong and Geng Jimao, or negotiated to resolve the Fujian issue, he was not determined by him.
I felt bored and felt extremely nervous inside the house. Zhang Zisheng simply went to the city to inspect. Patrol the city was a good way to breathe fresh air and relieve my mood, but at night it was still tossing and turning.
In this way, the poor Zhang Zisheng was tortured by the thought that he had come up with and did not sleep well all night, and still felt a little bored the next day. Fortunately, at noon, the messenger from Nanchang arrived and took the document. Zhang Zisheng's original worries disappeared immediately. Then, according to Chen Wen's instructions, he wrote a document in person, and then stamped the seal of the right governor of the former military governor's office that he had just obtained a few days ago.
……………………
Jiangxi began a vigorous movement to teach military merits and fields, and Kou Huiyin's housekeeper had already embarked on the road back to Changsha.
Departing from Nanchang, he arrived at Linjiang Prefecture City along the Ganjiang River, and then entered Yuanshui. After passing Yuanzhou Prefecture City, he turned to Pingxiang by carriage, where he boarded a boat in Lushui. The water flowed down and soon arrived at Changsha.
Water transport can be used on most sections of this road. Although some sections of the river are not very conducive to the use of the army, the convenience of water transport makes the distance between Nanchang and Changsha not as far as imagined. This is true for the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is in a strong momentum but is still on the defensive to digest the fruits of victory, or for the Qing army in Huguang, who has just won the Yuezhou victory and defeated the vanguard of the Ming army in the southwest but has to enter the defensive.
On the sixth day of the 10th month, he returned to Changsha. But Kou Huiyin's housekeeper did not return to Kou's family. He just sent a servant to report to the head of the family, but he hurried to the headquarters of Fan Wencheng, the southwest ruler.
"What did Chen Ni say?"
"Reply to the words of the boss, the villain said as you told me. During this period, the thief tried repeatedly, relying on the boss's clever tricks. The villain said every sentence according to the boss's instructions. Finally, he even asked about the relationship between my master and Deputy General Sun. It was only after answering this matter that he could calm the thief's heart."
After getting this answer, Fan Wencheng's body immediately leaned forward a few times, and then asked the butler: "So, is it done?"
"That's true. The old man is a master of great strategy and the villain acts according to his plan, which is also a blessing to be unfair to his fate."
The housekeeper's answer was very satisfying to Fan Wencheng, but Chen Wen was also famous, which forced him to ask in detail: "Retell your conversation with the thief to me."
"The villain obeys the order."
According to Fan Wencheng's instructions, the housekeeper told Fan Wencheng what he saw and heard along the way, especially the conversation with Chen Wen. After a while, the housekeeper finished retelling, and chased Fan Wencheng, who was bearded under the jaw, and praised "Okay" and asked the servant to send Kou Huiyin's housekeeper back, and called Kou Huiyin to give a word to him before he could feel relieved.
Next, Fan Wencheng invited Chen Tai, and the two entered the study room. Before they could sit down, Chen Tai couldn't wait to ask Fan Wencheng what the result was.
The fall of Jiangxi caused the Qing army in Huguang to be attacked on both sides. Previously, the Qing court also issued an emergency order, requiring Fan Wencheng to determine the situation. If Prince An Yue Le cannot win, it is not hesitant to give up the southern part of Huguang to retain the vitality.
The edict was issued, which coincided with Fan Wencheng's idea when he heard that Jiangxi was in the hands of Chen Wen. But who knew that the situation changed too quickly. Chen Wen's few tricks, using Shang Geng's two quasi-warlords as the existence of the Qing army in the Qing army and their respective difficulties, quickly staged a hat trick in the Qing army in Fujian and Guangdong provinces.
Guangdong's Shang Kexi bets on both sides, Guangxi's line Guoan, Quanjie, and Ma Xiong's three generals were also from Kong Youde's subordinates, and they were more loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Compared with Nanjing, the degree of getting news along the six routes of Fan Wencheng was much faster than Ma Guozhu.
It is true that Jiangxi is the hub south of the Yangtze River. In history, Yue Le achieved the strategic goal of decomposing the Three Feudals through the Three Feudals Rebellion by conquering Jiangxi. Now Yue Le also coincides with Jiergalang in strategic decision-making. Otherwise, there would be no possibility of Liu Liangzuo's Han military flag generals who were familiar with Jiangxi geography and hydrology as well as the Han military flag generals who were familiar with Jiangxi geography and hydrology.
But now, without the cooperation of Shang Geng and the other fan, it is unlikely that Yue Le will win alone in terms of military strength. And they are both enemies, except to head north, and they will be attacked from both sides, and they will not be able to cooperate with each other. So Fan Wencheng's earlier plan was unfolded in advance, and now he has a little bit of a look, so he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wen Xian, it's not that Chen Wen is cheating, is this guy not an ordinary person. Even Hong Chengchou suffered a great loss in his cunningness."
Hong Chengchou was indeed amazing, Fan Wencheng also admitted it, but at the beginning he saw that Hong Chengchou had no intention of dying, and he asked himself that his wisdom was not inferior to him. Later, I don’t know which bastard reported that the empress dowager “slept” and surrendered Hong Chengchou. This was not only a slander of the empress dowager’s reputation, but also a great insult to his IQ.
Chen Tai said that he was unintentional, but Fan Wencheng was intentional, but he did not care too much about it. Not only did he know Chen Tai's temperament very well, but he did not intend it. More importantly, there is no time to worry about it now.
"On the way back, the housekeeper saw the Ming army in Nanchang coming out of the city and boarded the ship to set off for Yuanzhou. He could not count the number, but the personal soldiers I sent to follow him returned that they would not be less than 4,000. I think it was the vanguard."
Since the army has moved, this matter will naturally be inseparable. Chen Tai nodded and asked Fan Wencheng: "Will Chen Wen and Sun Kewang really fight? I heard that the Chen surname is not a loyal minister. He has repeatedly resisted the orders in Zhejiang. Even the King of Lu went to the state-superior name to be a conspiracy that he and the Zheng surnamed are working together to make."
Compared to Chen Tai, Fan Wencheng, as the plan's maker, was naturally full of confidence. At this moment, he smiled faintly and replied: "The mountains in western Ganzhou may be blocked. These two people may be slightly restrained. If Chen Wen occupied Changsha, do you think Sun Kewang, who even Li Dingguo could not tolerate Chen Wen?"
……………………
As Fan Wencheng expected, Sun Kewang could not tolerate Chen Wen. In fact, it was not only Chen Wen, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Zheng Chenggong or anyone else. As long as the warlord of the Southern Ming who could become a competitor, as the narrow emperor, he could not tolerate the princes.
Previously, Liu Wenxiu was entrusted with the important task, but Liu Wenxiu refused to send troops. When Chen Wen's good news arrived, Liu Wenxiu sent troops. Sun Kewang even received a secret report from Feng Shuangli that Chen Wenzeng sent someone to meet Liu Wenxiu.
After receiving this news, Sun Kewang was shocked and sweated. One of his righteous brothers had been forced to Guangdong by him, and the other was likely to collude with outsiders to deal with him. He had a temper and finally extinguished his anger under the persuasion of Lei Yuelong, Fan Kuang and others. Sun Kewang set off overnight to Chenzhou.
But by the time he arrived, Liu Wenxiu had already been defeated and retreated to Changde. So, a drama that was as good as after the Battle of Baoning was staged again. Liu Wenxiu, who was younger than Sun Kewang, was directly exempted from military power and sent back to Kunming for retirement, while he took advantage of the situation to regain military power.
First, he was defeated, then he changed the commander. In addition, Sun Kewang was still phobic at the fork in the road, so the army had to stay here temporarily and remained silent.
However, news from Fujian and Guangdong came one after another when the messengers sent by the envoys arrived in the army. Chen Wen went to Ganzhou one day and forced Shang Geng and Hao Jiushang to do so. Even Li Dingguo accepted Chen Wen's reconciliation, and he was already in the position of being the leader of the Southeast Ming army.
The little army head, once regarded as a destruction, seemed to have become a giant like it overnight. It was impossible for Sun Kewang to be afraid. But now, Huguang is still separated by a group of Qing army that had just defeated the Ming army in the southwest, and Sun Kewang can use very few methods.
"Master, those nails have been buried. Even if Chen Wen doesn't care, his generals may not have any disagreement."
"What Mr. Ma said was very much, and the bait of the princes in one place was enough."
……………………
"...The Jiangsu-Zhejiang King's Division was led by the commander and we worked hard, and the reversal of the war situation in the southeast is also the same. The Qin Fan put the emperor under house arrest and the government orders were out of his own. Now he interfered with the appointment of official positions within the Jiangsu-Zhejiang King's Division. It is unbearable. The last generals thought that the Qin Fan would be a major enemy of our army in the future, so we should be wary of it in advance."
The letter was written by Wu Dengke and was sent to Nanchang as a secret military information. Similar letters were also sent by Lou Jiye, who was in Jiujiang, because the reason was to be promoted to the title.
It is a good thing to be promoted to the title, but Sun Kewang used this to promote the five counts under Chen Wen to marquis, and also added the words of admiring the military affairs of a certain place in his post. For example, Lou Jiye was the admiring the military affairs of Fujian, Wu Dengke was the admiring the military affairs of Guangdong, and Zhang Zisheng was the admiring the military affairs of Jiangxi. And Yin Yue's words were mostly similar to those of admiring the military affairs of Zhejiang, but the envoys who issued the imperial edict had not arrived yet, and they didn't know it.
Chen Wen was not convenient to see the edict from his subordinates, but Li Ruixin was in Nanchang and he was also on the side when he announced the edict. The appointment of the general officers of the waterways and horses and aids in Nanzhili and other places was heard. What he thought was self-evident.
"If the emperor had not been in his hands, he would have been worthy of being the king of only a bandit?"
Li Ruixin's resentment towards Sun Kewang has been around for a long time. When Huang Degong encircled and suppressed the bandits, he naturally would not have any good feelings for a prince like Sun Kewang. In his words, Sun Kewang was in trouble in the world, but now he has become a prince, and he is the leader of the monkey.
However, Emperor Yongli, the common ruler of the major warlords of the Southern Ming Dynasty, was still in his hands. A narrow emperor made the position of a prince to gain legitimacy in many things, such as burying nails for Chen Wen in the edict, and using methods similar to the order to promote ethics to differentiate the relationship between generals of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
