This conversation between Ning Yu and Wu Jingzi lasted for an hour, which is very rare for Ning Yu at present, which shows how much Ning Yu attaches importance to his words.

Although Wu Jingzi is just a scholar, it is difficult for him to surpass the limitations of this era in what he talks and thinks, but it is very rare for him to dare to put forward these ideas.

"In the sense of righteousness, you can repair it again, and when my father ascends the throne in the future, maybe I can take it out."

Ning Yu's eyes were full of light, and he wanted to adjust the current righteousness of the Fu Han Army to suit the current situation, which had gradually become the consensus among the Fu Han Army. It can be said that Wu Jingzi does not mention it, and other people will also bring it up in the future.

It's just that many people's minds have fallen into the situation and have not been reminded in the first place. On the contrary, it was Wu Jingzi who was able to clear the fog in front of the Han army in front of him and explore the essence, which shows that his insight into the current situation is still very good.

As early as the beginning of the Han Army, the general righteousness put forward was 'to drive out the Tartars, oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty', to put it bluntly, the focus is on the first half of the sentence, that is, to expel the Tartars, unite more people to oppose the Qing court, which also includes the local gentry and Shilin groups with their old hearts, as well as forces like Zhu Yigui and the White Lotus Sect, as long as everyone can work together to do the Qing court, they are comrades-in-arms who fight side by side.

But here comes the problem, now that the Fu Han army has taken Jiangnan, it is only a matter of time to ascend the throne, at this time to use the original righteousness, in fact, it seems a little out of place, after all, the big guy is working hard with the Ning family, but not to re-establish the Ming Dynasty that has been buried in the soil, the new dynasty system is the common idea of everyone, so the anti-Qing restoration of the Ming Dynasty can not continue to be a general righteousness.

"Expelling Hulu, restoring China, establishing a program of Chen Ji, and relieving the people."

Ning Yu's mind suddenly flashed such a sentence, thinking about it, but he was a little stupid.

.......

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the city of Suzhou was surrounded by the regiments of the Fu Han Dynasty, and a hundred cannons fired in unison, and under the faint white smoke, the flag of Suzhou was erected at the head of the city.

This can't be done without surrendering, Yang Zongren ran away with tens of thousands of regiments, and the rest of the people naturally had no intention of resisting, and there was no need to fight any longer, so the gentry and people in the city sacrificed the city.

"Bastard! It's all bastards! ”

Yang Zongren, the envoy of Jiangsu, sat in the yamen of the governor of Hangzhou City at this time and scolded bitterly, which made the officials from Zhejiang who were sitting on the side feel a little embarrassed, and they didn't know whether this person was scolding the chaotic people in Suzhou City, or scolding the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Man Bao, who was still staying in Fuzhou and couldn't save him.

The news of the fall of Suzhou City soon reached Hangzhou, and the distance between the Seventh Division of the Fu Han Army and Hangzhou was only a short 300 li, and it would take ten days at most to reach the city of Hangzhou, and it would be difficult to compete with the Fu Han Army with the 80,000 troops in Hangzhou City.

How did Jiangning City lose it? A division of the Fu Han Army launched an attack, and it hit the city directly, and when it launched another attack, Jiangning City was gone, and the whole process was almost jaw-dropping.

At that time, Jiangning City could be called a strong city in hand, with 50,000 green battalions and 10,000 eight banners garrisoned, no matter how bad the combat effectiveness was, it was also a regular army recorded in the small book of the imperial court, but even so, it could not withstand an attack by the Fu Han army, it was really a pile of tofu scum.

The current Hangzhou City is even worse than the Jiangning City at that time, it seems that there are 80,000 people, but there are 70,000 untrained regimental training, and there are only 10,000 green battalion soldiers.

Li Fu, the governor of Zhejiang, who was sitting on the side, sighed: "Brother Tianjue, this Suzhou fell without firing a shot, we can't explain it to the emperor......"

Sun Wencheng on the other side heard this, although he had no expression on his face, he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, and at this time he was still thinking about throwing the pot, this Qing Dynasty should indeed be finished.

Yang Zongren smiled coldly, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea soup, and said slowly: "What Lord Li said, the lower official has been thinking about it for a long time in his heart, and he has already written the fold. As he spoke, he took out a letter wrapped in yellow silk cloth from his sleeve.

Li Fu didn't know how deep Yang Zongren's pool of water was, so he naturally thought a little higher about it, and when he heard this, he hurriedly took the fold and looked at it carefully.

After a while, Li Fu nodded lightly and sighed: "Brother Tianjue's meaning, the old man understands, Suzhou City is not without a fight, in fact, it is also a battle, but it is really impossible to resist, in order to save the overall situation, it is also a helpless move to withdraw these tens of thousands of regiments from Suzhou." It's just, what does Master Sun think? ”

As mentioned above, in the Jiangnan officialdom, the identity of the three weavings is very special, not only responsible for weaving and purchasing, but also responsible for monitoring the overall situation of the entire Jiangnan, and has the right to play the secret fold (at this time, Yongzheng has not yet promoted the secret folding system to the whole world), so even Li Fu has to be careful with Sun Wencheng in front of him.

Of course, the big guy has to pass the test, which naturally includes Sun Wencheng himself, so Li Fu is not worried that Sun Wencheng will not agree to come down, if he really tells Yongzheng all the truth, and no one will come to clean up this mess at that time, Yongzheng himself may not think about pursuing it, you must know that the north is blocked by the Fu Han army, who knows how long Zhejiang can report to live?

Sun Wencheng hurriedly whispered: "Xiaguan understands that this current matter naturally has to focus on the overall situation. If you blindly criticize and seek perfection, then you are not deliberately making things difficult for people, is it? If the subordinate officials were placed in the responsibilities of the two, they would not be able to do better. ”

said something that made everyone nod, this officialdom, the sedan chair carries people, if there are really such uninteresting characters, they can't do their current position, and naturally they can't participate in such decisions.

Seeing that no one objected, Yang Zongren retracted his fold and continued: "A few adults, we can explain to the emperor right now, but the threat of the Han army is not so easy to solve. I don't know if Master Li has a sense of proportion? ”

Li Fu arched his hand and sighed: "At present, the soldiers of Hangzhou City have all brought the Manchu Army Gate to Fuzhou, saying that they are dealing with Zhu Yi..... But at the moment, Zhu Shun didn't see it, but Chu Shun had already pressed it......." In his words, there was no resentment against the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Man Bao.

"I heard that Lord Yao, the newly appointed Admiral of the Fujian Navy Division for less than half a year, is old after all, and it hasn't been long before his body has already fallen down...... Maybe the imperial court can send another admiral of the navy. ”

Sun Wencheng smiled, and took the opportunity to deliberately throw out these words, wanting to test the two people in front of him, relatively speaking, he is actually the one who is not treated by Yongzheng, maybe these two people in front of him have not said anything new from Yongzheng.

Yang Zongren's eyes froze, and he was a little surprised: "This news has already reached Zhejiang?" ”

Although his words were suspicious, he undoubtedly affirmed the accuracy of this news, but Li Fu and Sun Wencheng, who were present, were a little surprised, and they glanced at each other, only then did they affirm that the so-called envoy in front of him was the real cronies of Yongzheng.

The whole communication process of the three of them is very complicated on the surface, but in fact, the core is very simple, that is, to see who can get Yongzheng's trust more, and who understands the situation more abundantly. Judging from the current situation, Yang Zongren has become the real eyes and ears of Yongzheng Jiangnan.

Seeing Sun Wencheng and Li Fu's demeanor, Yang Zongren seemed to have discovered something, he knew that what he said just now must not have been hidden from these two, and he was a little annoyed at the moment, but Shicai was passive, so he was no longer willing to take the initiative to speak.

There was an instant silence between the three of them, each thinking about their own thoughts, but it made the whole atmosphere even more weird.

Li Fu sighed softly: "It's just that right now, I'm afraid we still have to invite the Manchu military gate to Zhejiang, otherwise if we want to hold it, I'm afraid it's impossible, as long as we can hold it for two or three months, we can be regarded as having the confidence to deal with the emperor......" When he said this, he focused on Yang Zongren.

Yang Zongren didn't speak, just nodded, but it made Li Fu's heart cold, and he understood in his heart that Yongzheng was afraid that he had completely given up Jiangnan, or that he was powerless to rescue Jiangnan.

This Qing Dynasty is really dead......

"The Qing Dynasty will not die!"

The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Man Bao, felt a little bitter in his mouth, he stood on Kinmen Island, looked at the calm and wide sea, and let out a roar from his heart.

The current calm was only temporary, and only Man Bao knew in his heart that a big war would soon take place on Kinmen Island, and this big war would also determine the direction of the entire southeastern situation. It's just that Yao Tang, the commander of the Fujian Navy who was supposed to be standing here, has fallen ill and collapsed, and a large number of things left behind make Man Bao feel a little lacking.

Some time ago, when the Qing court succeeded to the throne, Taiwan's Zhu Yigui was also integrating his own forces, eliminating many old, weak, sick and disabled, and reorganizing all the righteous troops into an army with only 50,000 soldiers, calling himself the Ming Army.

This 50,000-strong army is much stronger than the previous rebel army in terms of equipment, and most of them have undergone a certain amount of training and actual combat on the battlefield, so their combat effectiveness is quite good, but they have achieved a certain advantage in today's Fujian Qing army, and often beat the Qing army on the battlefield.

Later, in order to deal with Zhu Yigui's forces coming ashore, Manbao transferred the Qing army in Zhejiang, and the Qing army under his command reached 60,000, of which 10,000 and 8 banners were transferred from Hangzhou, and the combat effectiveness was relatively okay. Of course, the absolute main force is naturally the Fujian sailor under the original Shi Shibiu.

But God does not bless the Qing Dynasty, this Shi Shibi was drenched to death by a rain, and the new Admiral Yao Tang was also a lot of age, and he tossed in the military camp for a long time, and finally tossed himself sick, seeing that he was dying, Man Bao had to ask Yongzheng for help again.

And the result of this call for help is also obvious, Yongzheng is unwilling to send people to support the bottomless pit of Fujian, what he hopes more is that let Manbao take the rest of the people and stick to Fujian to be loyal and responsible, if he can drag Zhu Shun is better, if he can't hold it off, forget it, let Zhu Shun go to the shore to find the trouble of the Han army.

"Junmen, this time Zhu Yigui came out with a large army, and it seems that he intends to repeat the story of Zheng Ming again."

The deputy general of the Chinese army, Yu Qing, had a look of worry on his face, the problem was that the number of warships in the Qing army began to become less and less after the previous war, while Zhu Yigui's warships became more and more. Under the advantages of one another, it has become impossible to completely eliminate Zhu Yigui on the sea.

Man Bao held a clairvoyant mirror, looking at the wide sea in front of him, more and more ships began to appear, but a trace of sadness emerged in his heart, how similar this scene was to the Qing Dynasty to conquer Ming Zheng, but now the world has turned upside down, it is really unacceptable......

At the beginning, after the Qing Dynasty conquered Taiwan, Kangxi even planned to directly cancel the Fujian Naval Division, but later did not choose to revoke it for various reasons, but the support for the Fujian Naval Division was much smaller, and the most direct impact was that the ships had not been replaced for many years.

Now in front of Zhu Yigui's warships, the warships of the Qing court have no obvious advantages, especially the morale of the soldiers of the Fujian Navy Division, which has become sluggish, and the money is not enough, how can they be expected to serve the Qing Dynasty or even die?

With the sound of cannons, the Qing artillery on Kinmen Island began to roar, these artillery guns were also left over from the Ming Zheng Dynasty, although they are all old, but the quality of the craftsmanship is not bad, and they can be used now, but these artillery pieces are backward in technology after all, so the projectiles fired fell into the sea when they were still far away from Zhu Yigui's warship.

After a while, the artillery on Zhu Yigui's warship also rang out, of course, the performance was not much better than that of the Qing army, the two sides symbolically fired at each other, and the warships began to approach Kinmen Island, everyone knew in their hearts that this problem would eventually be solved on land.

Man Bao's hand holding the clairlight trembled slightly, "Order the artillery to hurry up and open fire, and the rest of the people are ready to meet the enemy!" ”

"Boom—"

Between the roar of artillery, the Qing army and Zhu Yigui's army also began to fight, the firepower of the ships on both sides was about the same, and the quality of the army was almost not much different, so it was difficult to solve for a while, and a large number of corpses floated on the sea, depicting a cruel picture of this world.

On September 14, just five days after the fall of Suzhou, a major battle broke out between the Qing army and Zhu Yigui on Kinmen Island, with more than 40,000 troops on both sides, and finally ended in a crushing defeat for the Qing army, and Manbao retreated to Fuzhou with the remnants of the army.

It's just that this battle was decided, and the Qing army was completely defeated in the southeast, which made Emperor Yongzheng, who was far away in the capital, suffer a strong counterattack from within the Qing court.
