Chapter 162 under the new wind
Compared with Chen Wen, who is still being held in Jiangxi by Fan Wencheng and Sun Kewang, Jiergalang does not have many cards in his hand, so he has to use each card well to have a chance to win.
Zhang Tianlu is a powerful faction and needs to be won over. Although Liu Liangzuo also has more than 500 Han army flags in his hands, these soldiers are all from each other's flags and Niulu, but they were just mixed together by his words of making meritorious contributions. This time he also came with a large army of Han army flags. As long as he returns to the original flag, the defeated general must be severely punished. Otherwise, Yue Le's death will not be let go; as for the same defeated general, Titicamu and Guan Qizhong, although these two guys have little strength, they have a deep understanding of the environment in Jiangnan, and he also needs to show a certain degree of tolerance to ensure that more Jiangnan officials have given their full support to him, and the punishment can only be let go.
Among Jirgalang's army, the Green Camp was already on the road. This army had enough troops to fight a field battle with the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but he still needed more chances of winning to take action. After all, this was the strongest wave for both sides.
The heavy rain does not cause heavy weather, and the wind does not last all day.
In the next half month, some elite green camps from Shanxi, Zhili, Shandong and Henan arrived in batches, but in terms of food and wages, Ma Guozhu's collection level still could not keep up with expectations.
There was no way. Before Zheng Chenggong's army came, and the local area was in chaos. Although the officials were surrendering and Jiergalang also made a statement by asking Titicamu and Guan Yizui to make meritorious contributions, the areas occupied by the Ming army were robbed by various Qing troops to varying degrees, and the local area was greatly damaged. In addition, the tax collection period issue, it was really difficult to provide sufficient food and grass for the 20,000 Eight Banners Army and 30,000 Green Camp soldiers in one breath.
In the head of Jirgalang, Ma Guozhu trembled and said in detail the preparations for food and grass to Jirgalang. He nodded and bowed, and kept secretly lifting his eyelids. Seeing Jirgalang's eyebrows frowned, his uneasiness became deeper and deeper.
After a while, Ma Guozhu reported the food and salary situation, and the gap was very large, which was not enough to support the entire army's operations in the next six months. Moreover, this was just a normal expenditure, the rewards of the guest army, the rewards of the dispatch of troops, and Jirgalang originally planned to relied on the rewards of wealth to boost morale, but now there is no place to go.
It is impossible to count on the capital. Jiergalang knew very well that the Qing Dynasty's finances were now in a dilemma of not being able to make ends meet. He also hoped that after defeating Chen Wen, he could make a move in Zhejiang and Jiangxi. Now his army could only count on officials from Jiangnan, and he didn't think about it in other places.
"Ma Guozhu, it's been half a month since you've raised such a little food and money, and the consumption of the station can't last for a few months, let alone the rewards for going to war. How do you, a slave, do things?!"
"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die."
Ma Guozhu knelt down on the ground and kept kowtowing. Jirgalang also knew that the only seven prefectures and one state of the Qing Dynasty occupied in Jiangnan were Jiangning, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Suzhou, Ningguo, Chizhou, Taiping and Guangdezhou. It was not so easy to support the sudden increase in the 50,000 army of food and wages for the next six months in a very short period of time. Unless it is not so easy to use some unconventional means.
"Have those traitors been judged?"
Jirgalang jumped over the food and salary matters. It is logical that Ma Guozhu should be glad, but when he heard this, Ma Guozhu immediately sweated all over and swallowed before answering.
"Report to the prince, I went to see the pirates Gan Hui, Yu Xin and Wan Li in person these days, but they refused to submit to the court. I thought that these pirates were all loyal to the pirates, and they still killed them all."
When Hangzhou fell, the Ming army instigated the deputy general Xu Xin and others, who were acting as admiral. Although most of the officers who were instigated died in the suppression of the Eight Banners Army in the city, this still reminded Ma Guozhu that Wang Jiang was kidnapped by the Ming army in Nanjing last year. Although these three hot potatoes have been taken into custody by heavy troops, who knows whether similar things will happen again. Instead of doing so, it is better to kill them to save worry.
Ma Guozhu's intention was to deceive Jier Harang. He originally planned to recruit three people to prepare for the future. After all, there were very few officers in the Qing army who were good at water warfare, and the quality was even more incomparable to Zheng Chenggong's officer group. Now the three people refused to surrender, so it would be a disaster if they stayed or not.
"Hey, in just a few years, the Green Camp's generals have withered to this point."
The Green Camp was the main force of the Qing Dynasty conquering China. With these traitors, the Qing Dynasty created a miracle in which the cold weapon tribe of 50,000 was conquered by the 70 million Chinese Empire. However, in recent years, Chen Wen alone has killed too many famous green camp generals, and forced some famous generals into mediocre generals. No wonder Jiergalang was so moved.
Jirgalang was like this, but Ma Guozhu did not dare to respond. Liang Huafeng's affairs were temporarily suppressed, and he was guilty of being the general of Susong Navy, but he did not need to get into trouble.
"Then I'll take it out and cut it. Can't I keep it for the Zhejiang bandits?"
"Slaves obey the order."
“Where are the other ones?”
As soon as this said, Ma Guozhu's body trembled slightly. It was not because of the energy that Jirgalang pointed out to have. It was so great that he could fear the rank of officials, but some things were all over his body. Now the Qing Dynasty's rule in Jiangnan was in danger, but it was not really time to give this dose of tiger and wolf medicine, but he did not dare to draw this conclusion.
"When the prince said, I persuaded him too. Even if they arrested all their families and threatened them, it would not work. These thieves were obviously determined to die and would never surrender."
Hearing this, Jirgalang's expression relaxed, and then said, "Since that's the case, there is no need to work hard with them anymore and pull them out and chop them together with those pirates."
"Slaves obey the order."
"In addition, according to those letters, all the thieves who have not been captured have been arrested. You know what to do about the next thing."
"My servant understands that he will eliminate all evil."
……………………
On August 23, the Governor of Jiangxi, Jiangnan and Jiangxi, signed an order to kill Gan Hui, the general general general general general general of Fujian Ming Army who was captured in the Battle of Nanjing, and later the general general general Wan Li, Qianfeng Zhen Yu Xin, and other captured Fujian Ming army who were not executed on the spot.
In addition, a large number of anti-Qing people who were arrested by local governments after the war, including Li Zhichun, the Minister of the Ministry of War, He Wangsheng, and General Guardian of the Ministry of War, who provided intelligence, personnel, food and salary and other support to the Ming army in Fujian during the Battle of Nanjing were also beheaded and displayed in public.
The Qing Dynasty's killing of these anti-Qing people who actually participated in Zheng Chenggong's attack on Nanjing seemed to be aware of this, but the subsequent exhibition soon exceeded everyone's expectations.
A few days later, the magistrate of Jintan County, Changzhou Prefecture sued Cai Mo, Yu Hou, Zhou Sheng and other ten Confucian scholars and other enemies suspected of having an affair with pirates, and listed a blacklist of 38 people. Then he sued Yu Yuankai, a wealthy gentry in the county, with the same charge as Tonghai.
The Tonghai case in history started from this. After the plaintiff and the defendant had a meal back and forth, Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Jiangning, who was known as the "Zhubaidi", jointly ruled that the plaintiff had falsely accused him and the defendant was released home.
However, at this moment, "Zhu Qingtian" had not been promoted to this position, and the times changed, and the thirty-eight defendants were immediately arrested and sent to Jiangning for trial. Next, they implicated 65 people from Jintan County, including Wang Mingshi, Feng Zhengyuan, Li Mingchang, etc.
After these rich and wealthy gentry who were "involved in the sea" were sent to Jiangning, they were soon sentenced to guilty. The person was detained and all the property was confiscated. Seeing that they could win in just one lawsuit, the prefectures and counties in Jiangnan were immediately fully launched, especially the rich and wealthy gentry who had participated in the rebellion of local governments before, the green camp was even more likely to be the brunt. For a time, the seven remaining prefectures and one state in the Qing Dynasty in Jiangnan were in a panic.
In Xuanhuali, Kunshan County, Taicang Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, in the mansion of Gui Youguang, the grandson of the Taipu Temple in Nanjing in the southeast of Guizhuang, the anti-Qing people in Guizhuang. Last year, we discussed the plan of the protest against the Qing Dynasty and gave inspiring words to the country, but now we are completely prepared to escape.
The servants in the family were tidying up their things, while Guizhuang was entertaining a member of the Jingyin Poetry Society in the study. The news at home was caused by this person.
"Hengxuan, Chen Sandao has been arrested. I have received the news and hurriedly informed you not to pack up. Let's go quickly. The Tartars are crazy and want to kill all the gentry in Jiangnan. Only the Prince of Kuaiji is a safe place."
The person who came was named Wu, Yan, and was named Chiming. He was a member of Wujiang County, Suzhou Prefecture, and a member of Jingyin Poetry Society. In history, this person was killed by the Qing Dynasty because of Zhuang's family. The Chen Sandao he mentioned was also a Suzhou person. Although he was not a member of Jingyin Poetry Society, he was also a member of Wei Geng, Qian Zhangzeng, Qi Lisun, Qi Bansun of Shaoxing and others in the name of establishing a poetry society. Wei Geng and others had made suggestions to Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan in the Battle of Nanjing in history, so they were killed because of the matter.
As a Suzhou person, Guizhuang naturally knew these people. Since Qian Qianyi was connected to him on the line, he also knew that Wei Geng and others participated in the Anti-Qing movement like them.
Chen Sandao's arrest means many things. It is possible that the Qing Dynasty dug up this line in the Jiangnan government, so he followed the clues. In this way, Qian Qianyi became in danger.
"Chiming, you are right. There is no need to clean up these things. You can leave quickly. If you delay any further, you may not be able to leave."
"What about you?"
"I have to inform others."
"Who else needs notification? Xia Xin and Ningren have been in Zhejiang long ago. Li Tian, Yinxu and the others are still in Wujiang. I have already asked my uncle to go back overnight to notify you. You are the ones they are bound to win. If you don't leave, it will be too late."
Wu Yan knew that this incident was huge, and was excited and pulled Guizhuang's sleeve and walked out. Unexpectedly, Guizhuang didn't seem to intend to escape south just like this. As soon as the two pulled, the sleeve was pulled out.
A "sting" sound came, and both of them were stunned. Then they returned to Zhuang and smiled bitterly, "Chiming, you go first, I really have something important. When I arrived in Zhejiang, I remember to greet Ningren on my behalf, Xiaxin and others. Also, I must tell Ningren that his servant Liu En colluded with Ye Fangheng and said that he had been in Zhejiang and had sued the government and told him not to come back."
Guizhuang was acting like seeing off guests, but Wu Yan had no choice but to stomp his feet in dismay before turning around and leaving. After Wu Yan left, Guizhuang didn't care about cleaning up the property, so he dismissed the servants at home and rushed to Changzhou Prefecture.
Sitting in a carriage, Guizhuang headed northwest. There were many people scattering portraits on the road. Guizhuang knew that these people were all their families being captured by the Qing reinforcements from the Battle of Nanjing. They rushed to Suzhou to search, but the hope they could find was very slim.
"This is all good things done by the Tartars, hey."
Through the carriage window, those anxious faces appeared before my eyes, and Guizhuang didn't know what to say for a moment.
Last year, their Jingyin Poetry Society originally planned to organize anti-Qing people from Jiangnan to welcome Chen Wen north, but they were taken away from the topic at the conference. This matter was related to their Jingyin Poetry Society's originally loose structure, and they reached an agreement within, but they did not have the ability to implement this resolution. However, Chen Wen's conflict with the gentry class and the gentry's other option, Li Zhichun, is also very related to it.
Now that Li Zhichun's operation of the Fujian Ming army heading north was completely shattered, Chen Wen was not sure why he chose to stop the army after killing a Qing prince. Now the Jiangnan government has begun to expand the Tonghai case to attack the gentry who resisted the Qing Dynasty. Is Chen Wen sitting in the mountains watching the tiger fight, waiting for the Qing Dynasty to kill all the gentry in the southeast and pick peaches.
"No! The Prince of Kuaiji is not that kind of person. Prince of Yanping goes north and just let Yuele return to help and follow him, he can solve the Tartars and the Fujian King's Army. He did not do this, and there is no need to sit idly by and watch the Tartars slaughter the scholars who are eager to the court."
While thinking about it, the carriage advanced a little further away. There was a card in front of him, and several Qing soldiers were standing checking the people coming and going. Guizhuang's servant drove the car and turned around and asked him to sort out his makeup. Since Guizhuang had already obtained the intention of the Suzhou government to capture him from Wu Yan, he went north and disguised himself in order to get through the situation.
The traffic of the Kazi is quite large, and the village travels to and from all over the country, with some experience, so I specially chose an old carriage, and with the money to drive the way, I finally passed the Kazi between Suzhou Prefecture and Changzhou Prefecture.
After passing the clutch, Guizhuang got on the carriage again, and the servant drove the carriage to continue to move towards Changzhou Prefecture. However, in the distance, two idle men were staring at them and whispering.
"Sure?"
Chapter completed!
