Chapter 131 Departure

"My brother Fu Ren feels like he is not..."

After Zheng Tai intercepted Hu Zhoushan, the Qing army in Fujian was forced to return it, and Chen Wen sent Shi Lang, who had not yet made his fortune, to deal with this series of incidents, Zheng Chenggong's tone of letters had long returned to the previous kindness...|But now, this kindness made Chen Wen look particularly annoying, because Zheng Chenggong did not send someone to send letters until the army set off, but had always been hiding it from him before.

"My brother Yu was invited by Li Jinglei and set up a large army to head north..."

Li Jingluo of Zheng Chenggong Institute is Li Zhichun, the Zhizhe governor appointed by Sun Kewang on behalf of Emperor Yong, and the Rugao Li Luolai mentioned by Qian Qianyi.

When Sun Kewang appointed him as the Zhizhe Strategic, Chen Wen asserted that Sun Kewang either chose the wrong person or happened to choose the right one. This sounds nonsense, but it is not the case. Among the people who had accomplices with Qian Qianyi at that time, Li Zhichun was famous and had made friends with the rebel army against the Qing Dynasty, but it was not the only choice. He Wangsheng, who was quite powerful in Nanjing and Zhenjiang, was another excellent choice.

Both Li and He were Donglin, but He Wangsheng's father He Shishou had been the governor of Tianjin. According to principles, He Shishou was a local official in Chen Wen's hometown and had a good reputation. If his son served as a manager, he should be easier to get along with Chen Wen. However, Sun Kewang did the opposite, so the drunken man's intention was clear at a glance.

Li Zhichun accepted the appointment, but he never came to see Chen Wen, the largest military leader in the Southeast. He was obviously dissatisfied with his behavior of suppressing the gentry. It was even possible that even if Zheng Chenggong did not mention it to him before sending troops, it was the old man who taught him.

Gu Yanwu had mentioned before that those gentry who opposed Chen Wen mentioned that Li Zhichun had already linked up with the army. At first, Chen Wen thought it was Zhang Huangyan because he was also a scholar-official, and it was easier for martial artists like Chen Wen to cooperate with local gentry than Chen Wen and others. As a result, Zheng Chenggong and Chen Wen even began to doubt whether there was a relationship between Qian Qianyi.

"...The army entered Nanjing and would join Fu Renwu to hunt Jianlu in Jiangnan!"

Zheng Chenggong invited Chen Wen to send troops to recover Jiangnan, but Chen Wen was wondering whether Zheng Chenggong would have the idea of ​​residing Emperor Longwu. There is no way. In the books Chen Wen had read before, Zheng Chenggong has always been portrayed as Longwu's loyalty, and even he had a similar feeling while reading history.

There is nothing else, the great guilt contained in the four words "The People Who Are the Sins" is enough to explain everything.

"I can't stand it. Sun Kewang from Huguang, Yunnan and Guizhou wants to replace him. Now Zheng Chenggong is probably planning to regain Nanjing to give Longwu Xusi. Li Dingguo is Yong's loyalty, and Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao's fiancée. You city people are really good at playing. The most awesome thing is that I have to wipe your butts. Is this a life for people?"

In the study, Chen Wen started to curse. Until his anger was extinguished, Zhou Yueying gently pushed open the door and walked in. Without Chen Wen's words, she silently walked behind him and gently pressed her head.

"Husband, you're so angry that you hurt your liver and it's not good for your health."

Pressing as always made Chen Wen soothe. He sighed before he answered: "In the past, under the siege of the Tartars, he kept relying on inside battles to break the encirclement and suppression, and then erode the lost ground. Now, the Tartars south of the Yangtze River have only one last breath left, and these friendly troops jumped out to make trouble..."

Chen Wen followed one by one, and Zhou Yueying stood behind him, listening quietly as Chen Wen talked about the current situation and the thoughts of these people one by one. Until Chen Wen stopped, she asked softly: "Husband thinks, which side of the Qin army and our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Kings Division has stronger combat power?"

It is not easy to comment on the war before, but Chen Wen understood the tactics of the Ming army in the southwest. Traditional generals brought their servants and soldiers to fight with their battalions. The elite troops of the Daxi Army who had a lot of food and drink and had industries in Yunnan, and their combat effectiveness was naturally much stronger than other Ming army. In addition, the war elephants and the special troops of the Southwest, such as Luoluo, have a strong combat effectiveness.

However, Chen Wen's current Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has already been on the track of modernization, with a higher degree of modernization and a greater combat effectiveness, which has increased significantly. This is just that everyone is the Ming army, so there is no need to fight in the house, otherwise, he would have the confidence to let Sun Kewang return to before liberation.

"If it were Li Dingguo, I would still be cautious of being afraid of three points. Just because of Sun Kewang, I would be beaten so hard that he didn't even know him."

Li Dingguo was famous kings and had long been famous among famous generals. He has always been regarded as a figure like a magic needle in the Dinghai, the battle at the intersection of the road was a sure win, and the gap here was no longer that simple.

This is clearly in Zhou Yueying's ears, but it is clear that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is higher than that of the Ming army in the Southwest. It is very simple. Sun and Li used the same military configuration, and the difference lies in their ability. Chen Wen was able to kill Hong Chengchou, and the popularity was no less than that of Li Dingguo in the reputation. The first half of this sentence was naturally understood by Zhou Yueying as modesty, especially when he was contemptuous of Sun Kewang, which further deepened her feelings about this.

"So my husband thinks, which side of the Yanping army is more capable of fighting than our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Kings Division?"

"Yanpingfan?"

Chen Wen had already had the intention to deal with Sun Kewang, a cheating guy, not to mention that the rift between the two has emerged, and sooner or later there will be a battle. However, Zheng Chenggong and Chen Wen had never thought about it.

Although the public opinion of later generations is more focused on regaining Taiwan, in fact, the reason why Zheng Chenggong was truly a national hero was the resistance to the Qing Dynasty. He fought with the Qing Dynasty throughout his life. He did not change his original intention in the face of high officials and generous salaries, and even family affection. Yes, Zheng Chenggong was the general of the Ming army who killed the most real Yi in Manchuria during the Southern Ming Dynasty. The two victories in Zhenjiang and Xiamen were not well-known, but the actual number of killing the Eight Banners of Manchuria was much higher than that in Guilin. In the two battles of Hengyang, Li Dingguo also had to rely on Mopanshan to compare with Zheng Chenggong.

Chen Wen has been fighting hard until now, and his main opponents are the Green Camp soldiers from Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian and Ganzhou. The main killing and injury to the Eight Banners Army was also borne by the Eight Banners of the Han army, but the number was too huge, and it even reached a level that the Qing Dynasty could no longer bear. The Eight Banners of Manchuria have only had the Siming Lake victory so far.

"I never thought of one day I would face off against Zhu Chenggong."

Chen Wen is not afraid, and no one thinks he will be afraid, because he has proved with facts that a hero who can grow up in the cracks of internal and external troubles will never be afraid, let alone an opponent who is far weaker than him. However, he has been provoking a civil war against a national hero and has killed many people over the years, and he has frequently used torture like Lingchi, but he is completely unacceptable to it.

"What if one day my husband wants to fight with Yanping's vassal?"

"I will try my best to avoid this day, because we should be friends, a friend of more than 300 years should never be enemies." After pondering for a moment, Chen Wencai replied firmly: "If one day it must be like this, I have absolute confidence in the army I have trained hard!"

The more than three hundred words had interfered with Zhou Yueying's ideas. He put away his work and sat on the stool next to Chen Wen, with his eyes facing each other.

"I'm sorry to say that I'm blunt, my husband should consider more for our Chen family."

"What are you!"

As the thunder was heard, Chen Wen stood up and looked at Zhou Yueying in disbelief. But the next moment, he immediately reacted. Zhou Yueying's behavior was too normal. She was Chen Wen's wife, so she naturally had to talk about the interests of the Chen family. What Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Zheng Chenggong had no relationship with her. As a person of this era, there would be no worship of national heroes and sighs of tragic heroes, but there was only a simpler benefit!

"I have made a mistake, so please forgive me."

He said he was forgiven, but the woman obviously didn't feel anything wrong with her words. She was just maintaining Chen Wen's husband's agenda, that's all.

Sitting down again, Chen Wen sighed and said, "You are right, I'm thinking too much, but this is my true intention. I don't want to force myself to do things I don't want to do."

"I don't want my husband to do those things against my will."

Then, Zhou Yueying leaned forward and gently grabbed Chen Wen's hand. "From the beginning, I knew that my husband was a hero. Heroes did something and did not do anything, but the soldiers who followed our Chen family also had parents, wives and children. When the army went on a war, they were looking forward to it as much as I did. If they could damage fewer soldiers, it would be better to damage less."

Zhou Yueying's meaning is very clear. It is possible to launch an attack on Hangzhou in advance and attract the Qing army to kill more Qing troops. But in the current situation, Zheng Chenggong clearly wants to recover Nanjing. Civil war is unnecessary, but it is unwise to make wedding clothes for others. After all, it is a kind of trust for these people to follow Chen Wen. Chen Wen does not want to be sorry for Zheng Chenggong, but he must not let down their loyalty for so many years!

"I know what to do, thank you."

……………………

Li Zhichun led Zheng Chenggong's army north to Nanjing, on the surface to recover Nanjing, but in fact, it was a self-rescue operation carried out by the scholars in Jiangnan who were leading to Chen Wen's sweeps to the southeast.

The Confucian scholar class in the late Ming Dynasty only had their own interests. Now the Qing Dynasty's rule in Jiangnan was about to be destroyed, but Chen Wen was not very friendly to the gentry. For the sake of his own interests, Zheng Chenggong, who once studied under Qian Qianyi's school and had a Confucian scholar in his own personality, became their best choice.

In this case, with this east wind, Zheng Chenggong attracted the Qing army in Hangzhou to Nanjing. Then, when the Ming army in Fujian was fighting hard, he took advantage of the opportunity to regain lost territory, and then smacked the Qing army and the Ming army in Fujian, and then killed the gentry in Jiangnan, which looked very beautiful.

However, Chen Wen did not intend to do this. The reason is very simple. I am afraid that there is nothing more stupid in the world than doing this, and Chen Wencha has no need to do such a stupid thing.

"Order the Yuzhang Division to assist in the defense of western Ganzhou, and the Luling Division to assist in the defense of southern Ganzhou. Whether it is Sun Kewang or Shang Kexi, who dares to stretch out his claws, he will chop up any one of them, but he will never allow him to attack from the defense zone. The current direction of our army's attack is not these two places."

Sun Kewang's threat was huge, and Shang Kexi also bets on both sides. Regarding western Gan and southern Gan, Chen Wen decided to take a defensive position to concentrate greater strength to attack Hangzhou.

"Order the Yushan Camp in Shaowu and the Ruian Camp in Chuzhou to attack Jianning Mansion in Fujian. After entering Jianning Mansion, Zhang Zisheng was appointed as the head coach to monitor Liu Qingtai and Geng Jimao."

By the same token, Geng Jimao is now under the pressure of Chen Wen, and Liu Qingtai still controls Fujian's Fuzhou Prefecture, Jianning Prefecture, Yanping Prefecture and Funing Prefecture for the Qing Dynasty.

They look quite honest now, because Chen Wen is on the side. If the tiger goes out to patrol the mountain, these monkeys will inevitably have some other thoughts. Geng and Liu are not as strong as Sun and Shang. They are weaker but are closer to Chen Wen's core ruling area, so they take the initiative and attack Jianning Mansion, which has been clearly understood by Chen Wen, as the cover for Chuzhou and Quzhou.

"Order, the Jinhua Division assembled to Shaoxing, and the Yongjia Division assembled to Jinhua Fucheng, waiting for the offensive order. The Zhejiang Inland River Navy and the Zhejiang Coastal Cruise Navy entered a state of combat readiness, stopped all vacations, and waited for the order to pull the anchor and set off."

"Order Lou Jiye to lead the newly formed Danyang Master to gather at Raozhou Prefecture and wait for his later life."

"Order, the special operations team will go to Yanzhou Prefecture to report, and Luo Yongzhong can go to Kuaiji County Prince's Mansion to report and wait for the order."

“…”

A series of orders were issued, and the war machines of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang finally began to re-operate after half a year of rest. However, compared with the scheduled plan, the dispatch of troops may have to be one or two months ahead of time. The army's dressing has not been completed, but time is tight, so I don't care about this much.

……………………

In late January of the 9th year of Yong, the Ming army in Fujian set its anchor and marched northward. Although they left behind thousands of troops, including Admiral Huang Ting and others, and the occupied areas also included Qianzhen, Renwu Town, Liwu Town, Zhongzhen Huangchang, assisted and suppressed Youzhen, guarded Youzhen and Zhongkuang Bo Zhang Jin, Zhongyong Hou Chen Bao, and the five army commander Chen Yaoce, led the army to guard the army, but their covetousness still grew in the hearts of Geng Jimao, Liu Qingtai and other troops.

However, the local tigers in Fujian left, but the tigers in Zhejiang and Jiangxi came. In late February, Pingjiang Hou Zhang Zisheng led the commander of Yushan, and the Second Ruian Battalion suddenly launched a sudden attack on Jianning Prefecture. After the Qing army discovered the banner of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they did not even resist, and directly surrendered, and even looked a little as they had been waiting for it for a long time.

In fact, it is not their fault that they refused to die for the Qing Dynasty. With the great changes in Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong provinces last year, the food supply of the Qing army in Fujian was completely cut off. Now, Liu Qingtai is only maintaining elite troops such as Super Biao, Fu Biao, Raising Biao and Zuolu Town Biao, and the food and salary of other local troops have been compressed to varying degrees. Even so, it is difficult for these troops to last for a long time. There is no way to live in vain.

Zhang Zisheng's sudden attack was immediately regarded as a precursor to Chen Wen's imminent entry into Fujian by Liu Qingtai and Geng Jimao. Liu Qingtai had no choice but to defend himself. Geng Jimao immediately sent a messenger to Jinhua to show his goodwill, repeatedly ensuring that his people and animals were harmless, for fear that Chen Wen would do it with him.
