After receiving the task of cleaning up West Lake, the city was demolished and started working. Tianlai Novel WWW Liu Dahe and the supervisors from the Extra Balance Camp used whips to urge their original masters to work overtime and restore the urban environment of Hangzhou. They put a lot of effort into it. However, they were satisfied if they had nothing to do. After all, those who had nothing to do were to go to the coolie camp to be coolie and build the military facilities of Hangzhou Jiahu Lake. And they were happy here, they had something to do and had nothing to do. This is the difference.

After staying in Hangzhou for three days, Chen Wen set out for Nanchang. The previous Feige sent a letter was fast, but it did not stop the situation.

However, the current situation is far from stable. Chen Wen didn't know whether Zheng Chenggong would defeat Nanjing, but he knew that before Jidu moved south, it would be impossible for him to destroy the southwest Ming army that dominated the Qin vassal system in some areas of Yun, Guizhou, Hunan, Guangxi, and Sichuan in one fell swoop. But if Sun Kewang had difficulty in Jidu's going south, or his troops were restrained in a large number of troops, and he was attacked on both sides, and even was likely to be attacked by multiple lines from Guangdong, Fujian and other places, it would be really in danger.

Now, Sun Kewang is testing him, and at the same time he does not want him to expand too smoothly. Only when Chen Wen returns to Nanchang will there be a possibility of cracking these.

When Chen Wen set out on the way to Nanchang, the Ming army led by Zhang Huangyan, the Minister of War, was still on the journey of surrendering and arbitrage.

From May 12th, Zheng Chenggong's army approached the city of Nanjing, Zhang Huangyan began his journey to recover the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The reason why it was said to be a journey, not a journey, was because Zhang Huangyan was really smooth along the way.

Zhang Huang said that the proclamation was clearing the way, and he was just a march. Wherever he went, the Qing army was all over the place. In any case, the lonely and weak army had been approaching, and the envoys had already gone to the front of the army to contact the matter. In contrast, Zheng Chenggong, who had to fight hard in Zhenjiang, and Chen Wen, who racked his brains to calculate the Qing army in Hangzhou, were very different.

It is undeniable that Zhang Huangyan has borrowed the momentum of Zheng Chenggong and Chen Wen, but it is also undeniable that the local gentry had done a lot of work before, otherwise how could the Qing army in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River choose so easily anyway.

In addition, Zhang Huangyan was also very strict in governing the army. He had just arrived in Wuhu County, Taiping Prefecture, and a soldier bought a face value of four cents of silver but only ten cents. Zhang Huangyan immediately killed him. The military discipline was strict, so he was naturally more popular among local gentry and people, and the army was even more invincible in advancing.

With a lot of efforts, Zhang Huangyan took advantage of the situation to recover Taiping Prefecture, Chizhou Prefecture, Ningguo Prefecture and other places, and had formed a practical border with the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and even touched some prefectures and counties on the north bank of the Yangtze River. At this moment, Zhang Huangyan himself had also entered the Ningguo Prefecture City.

He rode on a horse and stepped into the city gate and walked under the guidance of local officials. The local people were welcomed by the roadside, so that they could regain the dignity of the Han officials. Even if the yamen runners had not tried their best to maintain order, they would have rushed up long ago.

"It's available to the people."

Zhang Huangyan has said this sentence in just over ten days, but every time he sees these scenes, he still can't help but have to leave it to his mouth.

"What the Grand Sima said was very much, and the last general also thought deeply. It was just..."

Due to Zhang Mingzhen's early death, Chen Liuyu, the general manager, had not arrived in Chongming at that time. Especially at that time, Zheng Chenggong was still preparing for the Battle of Nanjing wholeheartedly and had no interest in taking the opportunity to annex Zhang Mingzhen's troops. Therefore, Zhang Huangyan's army is now far stronger in terms of military strength and combat power than in the Battle of Nanjing in history, including Luo Yunzhang, Ma Long and other Zhang Mingzhen's generals in the army.

Similar conversations have appeared many times. Zhang Huangyan knows very well what Luo Yunzhang's worries are. He has thought about it carefully these days, and it is indeed time to relieve these worries.

"I'm pleased that Kuaiji vassal formation killed Yue Le and recovered Hangzhou and other places. I am going to visit Hangzhou and personally to resolve the misunderstanding between the two sides."

This misunderstanding is not only that he followed Zheng Chenggong to attack Nanjing before Chen Wen, but more importantly, the issue about the Lu Jianguo.

When the Lu Jian State was first established, Zhang Huangyan entered the court as an official as a juren. Later, Wu Shengzhao was in trouble anyway, and he had made a village in Siming Mountain District and had a good relationship with Wang Yi and Wang Jiang from Dalan Mountain. Although Chen Wen was a general of Wang Yi and had accepted the title and official position of Lu Jian State, in a rebellion between Cao Conglong, conflicts between the two sides broke out, and the result was that the Lu Jian State would go to the title of the country.

Nowadays, everyone is the emperor of Yongli who is the Gui vassal, but the safety of the old master is always in Zhang Huangyan's heart. When it comes to the supreme position, blood will definitely be ink. The two powerful vassals in the southeast, Zheng Chenggong came from the Tang vassal, and Chen Wen was also inconsistent with the Lu vassal. If you don't talk about Yongli's current situation, you will be afraid that there will be slight changes. These two guys will try to clear the hidden danger of Lu vassal so that they can rest assured.

"Grand Sima, wherever Yanpingfan?"

The current Ming army in the Lu King system led by Zhang Huangyan, all the food and wages eaten by the Ming army in Fujian were provided by the Ming army in Fujian. It caused misunderstandings and was not a good thing after all.

"This official will write a letter to Yanpingfan in advance to explain."

The army moved forward all the way and soon approached the government office. Seeing this, the prefect hurriedly came to Zhang Huangyan's horse and bowed her hand and bowed her hand.

"I'll invite the Grand Sima to join the government office to advance to the tent."

"I'm working hard." Zhang Huangyan bowed his hand to return the gift, but turned to say, "There is no hurry to get the tent, so let's go to the Confucian Temple first."

"What the Grand Sima said was very true, and the subordinates did not consider it carefully. I also asked Grand Sima to forgive the crime."

"The Lord of the House needs to do this. You have made great achievements anyway."

For these officials and the Qing army, Zhang Huangyan adhered to the attitude of retaining, the sorting of military affairs, the promotion, exchange and demotion of officials, and the situation could be settled before the situation settled. Everything should be stable for the time being.

The group soon arrived at the Confucian Temple, where they worship Confucius and Confucian sages. Zhang Huangyan and his party entered the Confucian Temple, visited the Confucian Temple, and then sat in the Minglun Hall. At this time, the doctors and students from Ningguo Mansion were all Confucian's crowns and clean clothes, and there were hundreds of people.

In the Minglun Hall, it is indispensable to talk about the ancient principles and the defense of the barbarians and the Xia. Zhang Huangyan even took out an article from the Zhejiang Palace newspaper Lu Liuliang to explain the means and conspiracy of the Qing court to deceive scholars, which caused Confucian scholars to constantly praise them. Many Confucian scholars even made up their minds to join the army and praised them for painting military affairs in front of Zhang Huangyan's army.

After leaving the Confucian Temple, Zhang Huangyan promoted the tent to discuss matters in the government office. There was nothing to discuss military affairs. It was nothing more than to appease the officials and generals, and let them lead their subordinates, and then they could regain their merits and reward them in the future. At night, Zhang Huangyan wanted to invite local gentry. They did a lot of work in Ningguo Mansion anyway, and their help is indispensable during their rule in the future. They should be comforted by themselves.

The situation in the Southern Ming Dynasty is now very good with Chen Wen's efforts. They have caught up with this east wind and tried their best to expel the Qing army from the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible. At present, in addition to the nail households in northern Huguang and the historical problems left over from Fujian and Guangdong, the Qing Dynasty's controlled areas have been limited to the extremely small areas of Nanjing, Guangde Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture and Changzhou Prefecture. The two groups of three Ming armies of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian have formed a practical encirclement of them. Almost everyone is waiting for the day when Nanjing is liberated.

"Zhang Sima, as far as students know, Kuaiji Fan has now captured Hangzhou..."

"It is not said that it has indeed captured Hangzhou. Xiao Qiyuan committed suicide in the governor's yamen. Now the Dongyang Camp of Kuaiji Vanguard has controlled Huanghua Pass."

The words were not answered by Zhang Huangyan, and he knew nothing about it. The gentry who spoke escaped from Hangzhou, not because of war, but because Chen Wen measured the land in eastern Zhejiang and Jiangxi, he also punished some gentry. After hearing about this, he did not dare to stay for too long. He fled to Ningguo's father-in-law's house overnight to avoid disaster. He happened to catch up with Ningguo Mansion, and Zhang Huangyan entered the city.

Everyone here knows that the so-called Huanghua Pass is the famous ancient Wuyue Road, which guards the junction of Ningguo Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion. It is occupied by the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so Ningguo Mansion will be exposed to Chen Wen's military front.

"They are all royal troops from the court, so we won't fight each other."

A gentleman said timidly, and was immediately ridiculed by the fleeing gentry: "What a king's army? Chen thief has done a lot of things to change the ancestral system in Zhejiang. That guy is a traitor and will rebel sooner or later."

"Sir, please be careful!"

As soon as he said that, he was immediately exclaimed, but he was immediately stopped by Zhang Huangyan. He was a scholar, and when he had no practical experience in handling practical experience, he would still be skeptical of this speculation. However, in the court and the army for many years, he could see the tricks here. Rather than being indignant of Chen Wen's change of the ancestral system, Chen Wen damaged their rights and interests, so he had to slander as much as possible. This is a common trick, and Zhang Huangyan has seen too much. If others don't mention it, the old ministers of the Lu State slandered Chen Wen so much that they could fill the Taiwan Strait, and it is no wonder now.

"Yanping's vassal states went north in large numbers, and had discussed with Kuaiji's vassal states in advance, and was approved by Kuaiji's vassal states. This led to the Kuaiji's vassal states sending its generals, Chang'an Boma Xin, to lead the old camps such as Nantangying, to guide Songjiang Prefecture, and lead the army to fight against Yuele to restrain the reinforcements of the Tatars. If Kuaiji's vassal states had selfish thoughts and sat on the banks of Qiantang River and watched Yuele's army return north, wouldn't Hangzhou be at a loss? Then, why would it take so much trouble to go north to reap the benefits of the fishermen?"

Zhang Lie Analysis is reasonable. Although those gentry are used to being arrogant, they dare not contradict Zhang Huangyan's future support. Those who just talked about it were all silly, and the others were not trying to smooth things out, just changing the topic. However, Zhang Huangyan's attitude represents many things, and some of them really made them feel uneasy.

In Zhang Huangyan's eyes, the purpose of this time was to comfort him. He not only eased the people's emotions and prevented them from rising to the confrontation between Ming troops in different systems, but also wanted to win over the people's hearts. The subsequent events, especially the future Northern Expedition, would be able to have a stable rear and food and salary to help.

"I have thought about it. After a while, when the situation stabilizes, I should go to Hangzhou to visit Kuaiji vassal in person. I always have to explain to Kuaiji vassal that most of the gentry are still interested in the court and the royal army. Such is an example. As for the small group of scum who forget their ancestors, they should be severely punished, but they should not be blinded by one leaf."

"Sima Zhang said it well, that's right."

"Zhang Sima Zhen is our role model. If there are such a talent as Zhang Sima in the world, the Ming Dynasty is expected to revival."

"That's true, I should be a big deal for Zhang Sima Fu."

“…”

What Chen Wen dissatisfied with them was nothing more than the matter of Qingzhangmu. If Zhang Huangyan could convince Chen Wen, Zheng Chenggong would not be like this anymore. The interests of the gentry were preserved, this was the key issue. Since Zhang Huangyan agreed, praise was still indispensable, and there was no need to be stingy.

After the banquet, the gentry said goodbye, but excitement was inevitable. For example, going back to write a letter and familiarity, telling some stories of them urging Zhang Huangyan to come forward and try to convince Chen Wen, and writing this great achievement in private notes is a matter of course.

The situation was very good, and Zhang Huangyan was very happy, but the news of Nanjing's revival never came, which was a big worry. After staying in Yu Ningguo Mansion for several days, he comforted every day, and finally stabilized the hearts of the people.

During this period, Zhang Huangyan also sent people to Guangde Mansion to persuade the surrender. The Qing civil and military officials there were obviously still hesitating. Whether to surrender or not, who to surrender is all a question. Now the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang occupy Kuling Pass, and Zhang Huangyan's troops are stationed in Ningguo Mansion. It is said that Zheng Chenggong is still besieging Nanjing to the north, which is really difficult to choose, especially when Chen Wen shows incredible restraint.

Time passed day by day, and soon May 24, the ninth year of Yongli, was a crucial day for the war in Jiangnan. Zheng Chenggong withdrew from the Yangtze River after suffering a crushing defeat in Guanyin Mountain. The news spread quickly, and naturally, Huizhou General Zhang Yingxiang was indispensable to receive the news.

"Master General, the pirates are defeated, and the Zhejiang bandits do not seem to have any plans to go north. Governor Ma also said that Prince Zheng is coming soon, so we still have to make a decision as soon as possible."

"I know!"

He was fooled by Wang Fu and gave up Xindi in Huizhou. He originally planned to rescue Nanjing with his entire army, but Wang Fu went back and forth between him and Lou Jiye, which wasted too much time that he could not catch up with the brilliant victory of defeating Zheng Chenggong.

This is a regret and a hidden danger. He gave up on the land of faith and must have been punished. He originally wanted to avoid Chen Wen's military attack and go back to fight the Ming army in Fujian to make a fortune. Who knew that if he came too late, he would be unable to make a contribution. If he didn't do it well, he would be dead.

If you don’t want to be punished, you can only surrender to the Ming army. But now, Jiergalang has already set out. He is a noble king who has become famous before the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. He is the only remaining general in the Eight Banners Army of the older generation. Who knows that the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can withstand this thunder attack next?
