Next, if nothing else, Wen Anzhi, who was shocked by the internal strife in Santan, knew that he was no longer able to turn around, so he had to take the various units of the land march back to Kuidong to defend it. Since then, the effectiveness of the Kui Dong Ming army in containing the Qing army has been greatly reduced. Especially for the current war, it can be described as powerless. ”

In September, the second siege of Chongqing had not yet broken out, but the urgent report sent by Guo Zhiqi made Chen Kai, who had already recalled this period of history, really have nothing to say.

The content of the report shows that the Qing army broke through the Chenzhou defense line, quickly swept through the Ming army's control area in Huguang, and began to drag race in Guizhou, and even won the territory of such a huge province in just one or two months!

These are all things that happened in the first half of the year, and it's been a few months now. It's not that Guo Zhiqi deliberately concealed it, but it was really Guizhou, if it was defeated and conquered, at least there should be a request for help sent to Yunnan. But with Sun Kewang's persuasion document, the Qing army was able to enter a no-man's land in Guizhou, and the officials and generals of the Ming court who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty naturally did not have the obligation to inform the Ming court and former colleagues of the enemy situation!

Guizhou fell, and the only good news was that Wen Anzhi led the Kuidong Ming army to force Wu Sangui to return to Chongqing. However, such a siege of Wei to save Zhao could not achieve an effective consumption of Wu Sangui's troops, so it was only a very limited time to delay the arrival of some decisive battles.

In the final analysis, the volume gap between the Ming and Qing dynasties is still extremely huge. The Qing court could rely on continuing to build up troops to ensure the liberation of Wu Sangui's forces from it. But on Kuidong's side, even if he did his best and all the departments were unanimous, he would not be the opponent of Wu Sangui, who had completely inherited the Guanning Army Group. What's more, there are already many contradictions within the Ming army in Kuidong, new hatreds and old grievances, in the current context of the Qing army sweeping the southwest, it is good if you don't do it first.

Chen Kai can foresee that the collapse of the southwest is just around the corner, and the great southwest, which is crocheted with white background and black lines, has entered the rhythm of being dyed by the turbidity flowing from Shaanxi and Huguang into the same color as the north, Liaodong, and the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It was a blood-clotted filth, stench, dim, and disgusting. In contrast, on the southeast battlefield, the Ming army is doing its best to clean up these filths. Zheng Chenggong took advantage of the dense forests in eastern Zhejiang and the vertical and horizontal water network to encroach step by step, gradually compressing the control area of the Qing army, and indeed did his best.

However, even if Zheng Chenggong had done his best, a single Jidu who was not possessed by Sun Kewang's soul could not compare to the Qing army's "depending on the passing" expansion speed.

At that time, the southwest will completely collapse, the Eighth Banner Army will be freed up, and the southeast battlefield will inevitably be adversely affected. When the size of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was all pressed on the Zheng Group, it would no longer be under the same pressure as it is now. Even, it is very likely that if you make a mistake in one word, you will lose all the games, and ten years of work will be ruined in one fell swoop!

Along with Guo Zhiqi's urgent briefing, which was sent to Guangzhou, was the appointment of Chen Kai by the Ming court as the governor of Guangdong and Jiangxi, with full authority to manage the military and political affairs of Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Nanjiang. This was what he had negotiated with Guo Zhiqi earlier, but it also made him see more clearly the urgency of Yunnan's trip - it came too fast, the speed of 800 miles, and the efficiency that could only be achieved by the cabinet, the court and the Son of Heaven at one time, a speed unimaginable by bureaucracy.

Holding the report tightly, Chen Kai walked back and forth in front of the desk, the sweat in his palms gradually seeping into the paper, wetting the paper and melting the ink. This process was very slow, but the thoughts in Chen Kai's mind were ten million times faster than wet, melting, and even faster than his steps.

"The Zhejiang battlefield will not be mentioned for the time being. In the two-front battlefields of Zhaoqing and Southern Jiangxi alone, Ke Chenshu and Huangshan, two heavy army groups, were fighting fiercely with the Qing army. Both lines can only be said to be on par with the opponent, and if nothing else, no one can help the other...... The dressing and training of Fubiao No. 1 Town and Fubiao No. 2 Town, as well as the two associations directly under Fubiao, have been completed, and the redress of No. 3 Town has been completed, and the training will take some time. As for the fourth and fifth towns......"

In war, not only soldiers, food and grass are consumed, but also weapons are also facing huge consumption. The production capacity of the Ordnance Bureau of the Central Left Institute has been transferred to the Fuzhou Ordnance Bureau, and through hydraulic mechanization, the production capacity has been improved by leaps and bounds. Even so, the production capacity of the Chaozhou Manufacturing Bureau needs to be tilted towards Fujian.

Chen Kai was in charge of the war situation in Guangdong and Southern Jiangxi, and weapons, equipment, grain and grass had to come out of Guangdong. What's more, the Foshan Manufacturing Bureau and the Chaozhou Manufacturing Bureau also have a livelihood in manufacturing water-powered machinery ordered by the private sector to alleviate the financial pressure caused by the long-term huge subsidies. Rao is Chen Kai has already started preparations in advance, but until now, it is still much worse.

"No, there's no time."

Counting the cards that could be played in his hand with his fingers, this made Chen Kai more and more anxious. After years of planning, step by step to today, we have done our best. But when the time came, it was still insufficient. If there is a little pessimism, everything that was once better seems to be completely useless, and the trend of seeing the development of reality will be re-integrated into the trajectory of history.

From ancient times to the present, the law, the art, and the potential, no matter how strong the law and the art, are often difficult to defeat a general trend. This is the truth that Chen Kai has always understood, he has racked his brains to enhance his strength over the years, and has done everything he can to see the seams, and he has created the Tiandihui and the Guangdong Business Alliance, in order to try to leverage the general trend.

At this moment, the general trend does not seem to have shifted much - Sun Kewang is still rebelling and turning to the Qing Dynasty, Liu Wenxiu is still depressed, and Li Dingguo is still bent on going his own way. Only Zheng Chenggong's life has begun to deviate from the trajectory of history, but if the southwest is not guaranteed, it is difficult to say whether Zheng Chenggong will be squeezed back into the tragic life of ambition and hard to pay.

"Yes, over the years, the fate of Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Sun Kewang has hardly changed much, but Zheng Chenggong, who has been most influenced by me, is no longer the same. As for the southwest war, it's just that I haven't done enough. ”

Calm down, Chen Kai soon realized that his momentary depression was just the result of the Manchu Qing's war against the Southern Ming Dynasty being too smooth as in history, which made his always strong momentum inevitably fluctuate slightly. Fortunately, he has never been a person who will easily admit defeat, this is the case in Chaozhou, this is the case in Guangzhou, and it should be the same today!

"Preparation is an important factor in success, but if the opportunity comes, even if you don't prepare enough, you have to do your best. Otherwise, no matter how well prepared you are in the future, your efforts will be in vain. Even, it's hard to say whether there is this in the future. ”

Having made up his mind, Chen Kai sat back in front of the case, dipped it in ink, and after a little thought, he began to put pen to paper and write orders. Time is not waiting, sent to Guangdong's political envoys, according to the inspection of the envoys, sent to Fubiao towns, sent to Zhaoqing, in front of the Southern Jiangxi Army, sent to Foshan, Chaozhou manufacturing bureaus, sent to Xianxia Pass Zheng Chenggong to recruit the general's camp, Liuzhou Guo Zhiqi supervised the division, Kunming Ming Imperial Court, and the documents that need to be sent to various places are written in the pen one by one.

Chen Kai had already drafted these words a long time ago, and after thinking about them repeatedly, there was no longer any need to change them. At this moment, when it falls on the pen, there is no hesitation.

Until finally, a letter to Li Dingguo was hastily written, and the ink on it was dried, and he sent someone to summon Yu Youhan, who had been waiting in the post house all these days, and handed the letter to him, and then took out a tied bag from a locked box.

"When you arrive in Yunnan, His Royal Highness the King of Jin will let you stay in the army temporarily. In the following days, if Kunming is okay, the bag will be carefully collected, and don't let others see it, even if it is Jinshang and His Royal Highness the King of Jin; If Kunming falls, open the bag and follow the words in the bag. ”

"I understand below."

Solemnly pressed the bag into Yu Youhan's hand, Chen Kai looked into his eyes, and his expression was even more serious than ever: "I heard that the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people." Yu Zhuangshi, this is the lives of hundreds of thousands, or even millions, and must not be ignored! ”

"Please rest assured, even if you die in Yunnan, you will definitely live up to this request!"

With a bow, Yu Youhan strode out of the office. The back under the slanting sun always has a kind of resoluteness that is easy to be cold and cold.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
