The visit to Japan to beg for a military service during the Southern Ming Dynasty was of no benefit to China, but it led to the rise of Japan's position on itself.

After the fermentation of the "Tang Chuanfeng Story" and the perverted ideas of the Chinese and foreign countries, the once small country that was lying at the feet of the Chinese civilization, wagging its tail and begging for mercy, gained psychological advantages. The ambition that was flattened in the Renchen War began to sprout freely, especially the promotion of capitalism in later generations and the corruption of the Qing Dynasty itself, and eventually turned into the life and death enemy of China for a long time in the future.

The first voyage of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army arrived in Japan. The attitude towards Japan was completely different from the previous Lujianguo Group and Fujian Zheng Group. They did not mention begging for assistance or anything else. Even the Maori family of the Changzhou family held a banquet and mentioned that they were willing to aid some money and grain. The arms were politely rejected by Zheng Qi, who was in charge of commerce.

After several days of contact, the two sides reached a commercial agreement. The Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang handed over the agency rights in southwest Japan to the Changshu family. After the goods were shipped, the merchants of the Changshu family were responsible for selling them. The acquisition price was also better. Although the profits would be lowered, the victory was due to the large and stable volume. Coupled with some political considerations, the cooperation between the two sides was still a win-win situation.

After most of the goods were cleared, the fleet had to go to other places. Along the way, the officers in the sidewalk were responsible for the fleet, while Zheng Qi was responsible for the trade. The two divided the labor and cooperated, and it was harmonious. However, when they were about to pull the anchor, Zheng Qi brought a Japanese, which made the sidewalk frown.

"Brother Zheng, are you sure this guy is not a Japanese pirate?"

"No, I've checked. His ancestors did not have any Japanese pirates, but a Sui envoy sent out."

"What is the envoy sent by Sui?"

The officer with bearded passed the literacy test before his maiden voyage. He knew about the prosperous Tang Dynasty that his impression of such a dynasty was very vague.

"The dynasty that the forty-six friends of Wagang rebelled."

"I understand this, the descendants of the envoys sent by Japan at that time?"

Although they went to China to learn skills, the Chinese people at this time generally separated them from the Japanese pirates. This is normal. Japanese pirates are barbarians, and although their disciples may not learn much real skills, they are at least educated, so they naturally have to treat them differently.

"The villain Ichiro Ono, pay homage to the General of the Ming Kingdom."

"Get up, do you know the routes to North Korea and Ryukyu?"

"All the villains have walked by."

The Japanese young man was very respectful and nodded his head with his beard and agreed. However, when Ichiro Ono went down, he suddenly asked Zheng Qi: "I don't seem to be the kind of person who is willing to be a guide."

"Brother Ruan said very much. This person told me that he didn't want a tael of silver to lead the way. He just wanted to follow us back and kill the Tartars, and strive to become a Chinese citizen in the future."

"I see."

For the people of the surrounding countries, the Chinese language in the Ming Dynasty was far more attractive than the nationality of the American imperialists in later generations. If you can become a Chinese language officer and become an officer of the Ming Dynasty, you can just be considered a Tartar official registered in the Ming court. When you return to your hometown, you can immediately look down on the prefectures and counties. The social status of the entire family can be greatly improved, which is not a joke at all.

Moreover, Zheng Qi had heard Chen Wen say that for such aspiring young man, he should set an example and let everyone know what the four words "luxury, noble, and cheap" mean.

Within two days, the aspiring young Ichiro Ono set off with his beard and Zheng Qi. He first went to North Korea, then went south to Ryukyu, and finally returned to Zhejiang to report his life.

North Korea and Ryukyu, both countries were originally close friends of the Ming Dynasty tribute system, but now they have been mainly converted to the Qing Dynasty. Ichiro Ono was a little worried, worried that the trade could not be held to involve the big matter of whether he, the guide, could cut off the Tartars in the future. However, after he saw the cannons on the boat, he immediately felt relieved.

"If they dare to disobey the Ming Dynasty and the King of the Great, the villain thought that they would directly flatten Seoul and Shuri City, so that they could recognize which one was the real country of the Celestial Empire!"

……………………

This fleet is loaded with huge quantities of goods, including raw silk, silk cocoons, silk satin, cloth, sugar and even ceramics. Today, when China has experienced wars and has experienced a significant decline in productivity, Japan's goods can receive has dropped significantly, and its profits will naturally be higher than those at the time of peace. After this incident, not only can the tax losses of exemption from floating grains be subsided, but Chen Wen's new plan can also be carried out as scheduled.

While Chen Wen was still accumulating his strength, Prince Zheng Jirgalang had arrived in Nanjing at the end of July, and the army was crossing the Yangtze River in a mighty manner. In a trance, it seemed as if the tide of the Qing army moving south in the first year of Hongguang that swept away half of the south of the Yangtze River was reappearing again.

In April, the reinforcements prepared by Jidu were already in full swing. Shunzhi had a personal expedition, and Jiergalang had to go on the battlefield while he was sick.

However, Jirgalang, who had already felt more and more sick at that time, forced himself to start rectifying military affairs, but after staying in the military camp for a few days, his body became better and better. In this regard, Jirgalang could only smile bitterly - when he was in Liaodong, he had been drinking ice and lying on snow and lying on the snow for too long, and the flower world in Beijing was indeed not something that his body could bear.

The army marched south in a mighty manner, and the Qing Dynasty mobilized all the transportation capacity on the canal. Every day, the exhausted boatmen were countless, and finally sent the army to Nanjing.

However, the primary task of this army had been completed by Ma Guozhu, Guan Qizhong, Liu Liangzuo and other generals. After Zheng Chenggong's army withdrew from the Yangtze River, he quickly gave up Chongming and returned to Fujian.

Zheng Chenggong came and left in a hurry. Moreover, he originally planned to use Jiangnan as the core occupied area and strictly prohibited soldiers from harassing the people. Except for the defenders of Zhenjiang, they basically left Jiangnan without getting anything. As for Zhang Huangyan's troops, they forced to buy four cents of silver and beheaded for public display, and they were even more unreasonable. The word "Wang Shi" is well deserved.

The Ming army was the attacking side, but the Qing army who came to aid carried out large-scale looting of the areas occupied by the Ming army in Fujian. "The soldiers passed by Wuxi Luoshe, with flowers and goods loaded, and cattle and sheep were endless. The women they plundered were sold in Suzhou. All those who lost their parents and wives in Zhenjiang had many tickets to find in various prefectures and counties, and Wuxi city gates were full of recruits."

After the Qing army won tragically in Nanjing, it made a fortune by plundering along the way. Most of the green camps in various units had returned to their garrisons. The military pressure of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang always existed, and it was getting worse every day. The four prefectures of Suzhou, Guangde, Ningguo and Chizhou bordering the Ming army occupied areas were even more shocked every day. Any rumors would cause big or small commotion.

As summer approaches, the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang still did not take action. Fan Wencheng from Huguang wrote a letter saying that he planned an attack on Jiangxi and sent people to instigate the relationship between Chen Wen and Sun Kewang. These two Ming armies are now at a tense moment in western Ganxi and may start a war at any time.

In general, he effectively restrained the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, forcing Chen Wen to give up the offensive and ensure the safety of Jiangnan. He made great contributions. However, the threat that Huguang will soon bear will be greater, so he strongly demanded that the Qing court provide a new round of reinforcements to the Qing army in Huguang.

In this regard, the ungrateful Ma Guozhu expressed strong opposition. Fan Wencheng is indispensable for restraint, but reinforcements must be given priority to Jiangnan. After all, Sun Kewang and Chen Wen have been alienated by Fan Zhuge. They are the place where the situation is grim.

The dispute was not over until Jirgalang arrived in Nanjing, but as a double winner of Zheng Chenggong and Fan Wencheng, Ma Guozhu's life was never as good as Fan Wencheng, a loser.

"Is this what kind of good general you, a dog slave, have been promoted to the top?"

With a heart-warming foot, Ma Guozhu was kicked to the ground by Jirgalang, pointing at his nose so angry that he couldn't even speak.

What Jirgalang refers to is Liang Huafeng, who was defeated by Ma Xin before. After defeating Zheng Chenggong, this famous green camp general in the early Qing Dynasty immediately obtained the position of third-class Ashahafan. He immediately joined Hong Chengchou and later added to third-class Ashanihafan, the title of third-class baron, which was highly valued.

But now, since Admiral Su Song was still Zhang Tianlu, not Ma Jinbao, Liang Huafeng was attacked by the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After being defeated, a good general immediately became a mediocre general, and even Ma Guozhu, who promoted him, was implicated.

"The prince calmed down, it was the slave who took a look. The servant deserved to die."

Ma Guozhu was lying on the ground, knocking head by head on the ground. Jirgalang knew that Ma Guozhu had made great contributions and there was no need to blame him. This time, he took advantage of the issue to better control and prepare for the next battle to attack the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

After a while, Jirgalang asked his personal soldiers to support Ma Guozhu, and then said, "Forget it, you are also working hard, I will speak to the court for you."

"Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely cooperate with you with you."

When he heard the sound, Ma Guozhu knew Jiergalang's intention. During the two months of the war, there were all kinds of chaos in the officialdom in Jiangnan, but he was a great hero who defeated Zheng Chenggong. He was confident that he could have the so-called "white covers up all ugliness". However, when Zheng Chenggong left, Chen Wen, the disaster that has always been steady and steady, is still there.

The arrival of the former Xinyi Assistant King, Regent King, and the current Prince Heshuo Zheng, the last clan king of the Aisin Jueluo family who has led troops to fight since Liaodong did give many Qing officials confidence, but if they really want to accomplish things, they still need the strong cooperation of him, the chief official in the border area.

"Let's talk about the current situation in Jiangnan. I really want to know what kind of person Chen Wen is."

With Chen Wen's origin, Ma Guozhu knew that it was impossible to talk nonsense because of the Tongzhe case. He was an old official in Liaodong, so his position on this matter was naturally generally consistent with Ning Wan and others. Moreover, the Southern Party has been hit in the Qing Dynasty and there are not even a high-level official. With only a few kittens and dogs, it is even more impossible for him to get involved in these matters.

Fortunately, Jiergalang was not interested in this, and what he wanted to hear was the current situation. However, this situation was extremely unfavorable to the Qing army in Jiangnan. After Zheng Chenggong's offensive, Chen Wen took the opportunity to annihilate Yue Le's army in Hangzhou, seized the territory of five prefectures, and even killed many officials including Yue Le, Yibai, and Xiao Qiyuan. Especially Yue Le, a Prince Heshuo was killed, which would have an unparalleled blow to the morale of the Qing army. If Chen Wen had not been unmoved in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he would have been afraid that a single partial army would easily recover Jiangnan, and Jiergalang would not even have the chance to cross the Yangtze River.

"This barbarian is waiting for me."

Jiangnan is a place of wealth and wealth, especially Susongchang Town. Jiergalang knew very well that Chen Wen was using this as bait to catch his big fish. The reason was very simple. The water network in Jiangnan was not conducive to the advantageous cavalry of the Qing army. Jiergalang had to bite this bait because without the financial resources here, although the Qing Dynasty's finances had saved a lot of money in recent years, it still couldn't last long to maintain the entire north.

"Then let's see if you caught me or pulled you into the water."

After hearing the general situation report, Jirgalang quickly understood what Chen Wen's intention was. This was an experience, an experience that had been rolling out from the Wanli Dynasty on the tip of the knife. He also knew very well that Chen Wen didn't care whether he knew or not. Due to his strength, there was no way.

"This time, I brought 6,000 Eight Banners of Manchus, 6,000 Eight Banners of Mongolians and 8,000 Eight Banners of Han Army, and 30,000 Green Camp soldiers from the north on the road. Military supplies, food and grass must be prepared properly."

These Eight Banners Army were the few elite troops that the Manchu court could draw out, and the Green Camp soldiers even drew all the elite troops that could be transferred from the north without exception. Assuming that this army was destroyed, the Eight Banners Army might still be able to stabilize the capital, but the Green Camps in various places were very likely to face the possibility of having to shrink the prefectures and counties and being unable to suppress the anti-Qing forces.

"Military supplies, food and supplies..."

Ma Guozhu swallowed his saliva and then explained to Jiergalang: "Prince, in order to attack Zhejiang, Hong Chengchou, the Southeast Administration's strategy, transported a large amount of money and grain from the warehouses of various prefectures and counties in Jiangxi, but he was defeated in one battle. Only the last batch was brought back by Admiral Liu and others because he had just been sent to Raozhou Prefecture. This year, the slave tried his best to get the prefectures and counties below to collect them, but when the pirates attacked again, there was really not much left in the warehouse."

This is the truth. Jiangnan is rich, and the Qing Dynasty's governments in Jiangnan were also plundered, but many of these goods were transported to Beijing along the canal, and the others also had to support various places. After Hong Chengchou's draw, Zheng Chenggong's attack loss and Chen Wen's offensive, no matter how rich his family is, he cannot withstand the unscathed creation.

"Ma Guozhu, I am not discussing with you, but ordering you to prepare military supplies and food!"

"The slave understands, the slave understands, and the slave must do his best."

Jirgalang also knew that Ma Guozhu was already very brave in the current situation. The Green Camp is still on the road. Not to mention the Eight Banners Army, even the military strength is too much of a loss compared to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army. It takes time for military supplies, so Ma Guozhu will definitely do his best. This matter can be put aside for the time being, but some other things and some people should be understood as soon as possible.

"Let that rebel general come to see me."
