At the same time, on the other side of the mountain and sea, Lu Jianguo's journey was in Zhoushan, and the Shangsi Festival ceremony had ended. The important officials of the Lu Jianguo Dynasty returned to the main hall to continue discussing state affairs, but there were fewer fewer people than on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

During the Spring Festival, news of Dorgon's death came, and the monarchs and ministers of the Lujian Dynasty were very happy. After all, this barbarian chief who had been in trouble for many years could not escape the destiny, which made all the monarchs and ministers who were willing to restore the Han world were excited.

After resolutely cheering up, another civil strife broke out on Zhoushan. This time, the two sides joined forces to fight against Huang Binqing's allies a year ago, but now they are the enemy to the death. As for cheering up, let's talk about it when the internal strife is over.

After Huang Binqing's death, the Pingxibo Dynasty was dissatisfied with the fact that the Lu Jianguo believed in the Dingxi Marquis Zhang Mingzhen, and spread the matter of Huang Binqing's death Zhang Mingzhen as the mastermind. At this time, Huang Binqing had many old subordinates in Zhoushan. Zhang Mingzhen and Hu Boruan Ruan Jin were afraid of the accident and decided to take the initiative. One morning in February of the fifth year of Yongli, he sent fierce soldiers to attack and kill them, and finally killed the dynasty first. After that, Zhang Mingzhen and Ruan Jin even pushed all the blame for Huang Binqing's death to Wang Chaoxian, and finally settled the case temporarily.

However, the responsibility for Huang Binqing's death was taken by the dead dynasty. Zhang Mingzhen and Ruan Jin expressed their joy, but the "burden" dynasty's subordinates were not satisfied with this.

So, Wang Chaoxian's general Zhang Jiming and Lu Tingji were indignant and crossed the wall and fell into the city. They seized the ship to Ningbo and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty General Zhang Jie, who was the general of Dinghai, and told him that Zhoushan was invincible and was willing to serve as a guide for the Qing army.

The dynasty died first, and his generals fled. The facts have been caused and cannot be changed. The monarchs and ministers of the Lu governor here are still discussing the upcoming war.

Chen Wen learned through historical records that the Qing army's intention to attack Siming Mountain was Zhoushan. The rulers and ministers of the Lu Jian Kingdom who were in Zhoushan were not stupid, and they also knew the purpose of the Qing army. However, at that time, Zhang Mingzhen, Ruan Jin, Wang Chaoxian and others had some indigestion in the annexation of Huang Binqing's power, and it was really not appropriate to send troops. In addition, Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Yi have always been incompatible, so it is even more impossible to risk the chaos in Zhoushan to provide assistance.

However, the fall of Siming Mountain means the isolation and helplessness of Zhoushan. News of the Battle of Siming Lake a few days ago had already been heard, Wang Yi was captured with all his might, and other Ming troops were almost extinct in this battle and the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army. The anti-Qing base in Siming Mountain has fallen, and this year the Qing army will definitely gather a large army to attack Zhoushan. The rulers and ministers of the Lu Supervisory Kingdom here are discussing strategies for their response.

"No matter which direction the Tatars attack, they have to cross the sea to reach Xingye. If we look at the distance, the main force must be in Ningbo. I think that as long as we defeat the Tartars' boat troops, we can keep Xingye and then recover Ningbo."

As the leader of the martial arts squad, Zhang Mingzhen's answer first sets the tone for the strategy. This strategy sounds simple and can even be said to be nonsense, but it is also in line with the current situation of the Ming and Qing armies at this time. It is a good strategy to defeat the enemy with one skill. But at this moment, a eunuch walked in with his eyes down and reported the news that he had just arrived to the Lu Jianguo sitting on the dragon throne.

"Report to the messenger of the Superintendent, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, and the right deputy chief of the Censorate of the Censorate, Wang Jiang, requesting an interview."

Wang Jiang?

Last October, at the Battle of Siming Lake, Wang Yi was defeated and captured, and the old camp of Dalanshan fell. There was actually Wang Jiang's messenger here. Is it true that the news of the Qing army's defeat a few days ago?

With full of doubts, the Lu Jianguo asked the eunuch to summon the messenger to answer these questions for him and his subordinates present.

"My minister Wang Xiuquan paid homage to His Highness the Superintendent." As he said, the former chief of the former general, holding the title of Qian Zong, bowed to Zhu Yihai, the governor of Lu.

After giving the tribute, Wang Xiuquan stood up and expressed his purpose to the State of Lu.

As the captain of Wang Yi's personal soldiers of the General Staff, Wang Xiuquan came to Zhoushan with Wang Yi to meet with the Lu Jianguo. However, after less than a year, the Ming army in Dalan Mountain lost most of the losses, and even Wang Yi was defeated and captured, which made Wang Xiuquan feel full of lament. However, as Wang Jiang's messenger, he came here as a messenger of the remaining Ming army in Dalan Mountain to report to the court of the Lu Jianguo's court the details of the Battle of Siming Lake and the victory of the Battle behind the Siming Mountain Palace.

"In October of the fifth year of the regent, the royal troops of Simingshan gathered in Liangnong Town and prepared to follow the strategy formulated by the guerrilla general Chen Wen to attack the Tartars's magistrate Tian Xiong, and then head south to join with the southern Simingshan royal troops to fight the Eight Banners in Hangzhou..."

Due to the length of the article, Wang Jiang's memorial could not clearly write down all the details of the battle. After submitting Wang Jiang's memorial, Wang Xiuquan told the whole story of the entire war to the monarch and ministers of the Lujian Kingdom present at the instructions of the Lujian Kingdom.

As a witness to the Battle of Siming Lake, he witnessed almost all the scenes before the Ming army collapsed. Later, Chen Wen defeated the Tibiao Zuoying and learned about the situation afterwards from the prisoners, so it seems very intuitive to tell him at this moment.

"...Many soldiers who still choose to continue fighting either launched a desperate counterattack against the Tartars, or gathered under the banner of the Strait until General Ren, who personally defended the Strait, died in his country. Since the collapse of the king's army, Wang Jingluo, who has been fighting for the war and boosting morale, drew out his sword and was captured after slashing several people."

"Why."

Hearing this, Lu Jianguo couldn't help but sigh. The news of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Siming Lake had already been circulating in Zhoushan more than a month ago. However, because the leading figures of the Ming army in Siming Mountain were either captured, died in battle, or disappeared, the specific details were not clear.

But what the ruler and minister of the Lu Jian Kingdom did not expect was that the Ming army did not have no hope of victory in the early stage of this war. Whether it was the unexpected information, the plan to defeat it, and the Nantang Camp that emerged suddenly, the Ming army had a great hope of victory.

Unexpectedly, this war that had hoped to become a great victory was eventually turned around by a general of Feng Jingdi, a small person they had never heard of, so that the Qing army would win so easily, especially today when the news of Feng Jingdi's death in the country had already been heard, which really made the monarchs and ministers of the Lujian State present sigh.

"I originally wanted to die together, but I had a chance to take charge of Wang Deputy Xian and Chen Guerrilla to cover the retreat..."

Next, Wang Xiuquan told the story later. However, he did not mention Chen Wen's test of the officials of Dalanshan. This was what Wang Jiang ordered before. After all, a suspicious minister was unlikely to please the country's regent. An official who was suspicious of his colleagues would also arouse the disgust of other officials in the court, even if it was a helpless act at that moment of danger.

"... On the sixth day of November, the Tatars saw that the king's army was about to come out of the mountain, so they accelerated their advance and chased after him. General Chen knew that he could not withdraw from Siming Mountain smoothly, so he resolutely led the troops behind the hall. In this battle, the Tibby camp had more than 1,500 soldiers and auxiliary soldiers. The leader was Li Rong, the dog thief of the deputy general of the Tibby camp. In order to prevent the Tartars from taking a detour to attack the people, General Chen even divided more than 100 soldiers from Nantang camp, which was originally less than 600 soldiers, and continued to cover the people..."

Even though he was not allowed to participate in this battle, Wang Xiuquan still learned the details of the battle from Wang Jiang, Chen Wen and the officers and soldiers of Nantang Camp. Of course, Chen Wen's statement was rather modest, while the soldiers of Nantang Camp were whispering and did not make any drafts. Anyway, they really defeated the more with less, and no one could say that these soldiers who fought bloodyly were not.

When Wang Xiuquan described it, he adopted a neutral approach, which was quite close to the facts. However, in the ears of the monarchs and ministers of the Lu State, it was clearly a story of an extremely brave warrior advancing against artillery fire to boost morale, and finally defeating the scared Qing army. The Mandarin Duck Formation was completely marginalized. Only Zhang Mingzhen even asked a few questions, but he gave up when he saw that Wang Xiuquan didn't understand at all.

"... Beheaded 592 levels, captured 919 people, captured 12 generals from the Left Camp Deputy General Li Rong of Tibiao, and captured alive. The King's Army won a great victory!"

"What a powerful general!"

Lu Jianguo closed his eyes and thought about the scene where Chen Wen stood in front of the entire army. Under the uninterrupted baptism of the Qing army's artillery fire, he looked like a heavenly soldier and general descending to earth. He finally killed all the Qing army's formation alone, and sighed sincerely.

"Congratulations to Your Highness for getting another powerful general."

"Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty and to Your Highness, General Chen is so brave, and King Kaiping is just like this."

“…”

The Lu Jianguo exclaimed, and the cabinet Grand Secretary Zhang Kentang and the military officer Dong Zhining immediately congratulated the Lu Jianguo.

Originally, the Ming army was defeated in the Battle of Siming Lake, and Zhejiang's anti-Qing cause suffered a great defeat. Zhoushan was bound to be attacked. As a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Zhang Kentang was very worried. In this battle behind the Siming Mountain Palace, Chen Wen was able to defeat 2,500 Qing troops with 500 soldiers, which was really exciting. Especially this military general was promoted by a civil servant. If the comfort was properly done, he could also divide the power of Zhang Mingzhen and other ministers in the future, so that the warriors would not cause trouble in the future.

In contrast, Dong Zhining is one of the six crazy students in Ningbo and a member of the uprising of the Five Gentlemen in the War War. He is a good friend of Wang Yi, Wang Jiang, Feng Jingdi and others. Chen Wennai is a general of Wang Yi, so he naturally has to be closer.

Next, other ministers also sent congratulations to the Lu Jianguo. Even Zhang Mingzhen, who had always been incompatible with Wang Yi, lamented Chen Wen's courage. After all, under the background of such a crushing defeat, such a brilliant victory would inevitably inspire the people of the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang and prepare for the subsequent war.

Since the news of Dorgon's death came, after accusing the dynasty of the murder of Zhang Mingzhen and Ruan Jin and the defeat of the Siming Lake battle, the State of Lu finally heard something that could make him sincerely happy. After accepting the congratulations from his ministers, he proposed the reward, which was the right idea. Although the current court of Lu Jian Kingdom cannot obtain the reward, there are still titles and official positions, and this is the only one he can take.

Seeing the ministers discussing the matter, the Lu Jianguo asked Wang Xiuquan about Chen Wen's personality, deeds and background. After learning that Chen Wen's ancestors were generals of Li Wenzhong, the Lu Jianguo consulted Zhang Kentang and Zhang Mingzhen and other important civil and military officials, and then ordered the eunuchs around him to summon two other ministers who were not in the palace at this moment.

After the two ministers entered the hall, Zhang Mingzhen, who suggested that the Lu Jianguo summon the two, immediately asked: "Two Generals Li, did you have a general named Chen Sansi under your command when King Qiyang was alive?"

PS: The most annoying part was deleted. The author doesn’t like to look at the internal strife, but this is the daily life of the Southern Ming Dynasty, so I wrote a few simple sentences. In addition, I have to pay back sooner or later when I come out. Chen Wen brainwashed others in the name of Li Wenzhong, and this time he threw himself in.
Chapter completed!
