The needs of the court, or more precisely the needs of the class, once disobeyed, they will immediately become outcasts, and even never be able to turn over!

Zhang Xiaoqi had no choice but to accept Guo Zhiqi's proposal to serve in the court, but he was indispensable for the position of a squire and a royal history. In the following days, Guo Zhiqi seized all the time to fulfill his promise with Chen Kai in southwest Guangdong.

First, Zhang Xiaoqi set off for Liuzhou, where he would wait for Guo Zhiqi's final approval, which would inevitably go through a legal process such as ticket preparation and approval of red, and his new position in the center.

Zhou Tengfeng stayed in office and didn't mention it for the time being, Guo Zhiqi started to run for the generals in western Guangdong after sending Zhang Xiaoqi away. However, Chen Kai had a layout in advance, and with Guo Zhiqi's "earnest teachings", Zhang Yue and Guo Dengdi, who were stationed in Gaozhou Mansion, took the lead in announcing that they would accept Chen Kai's adaptation, and the department would be reorganized into the fourth and fifth towns of Fubiao, Guangdong. In the past few days, Wei Yingdeng and Ye Biao, who hurried to Guangzhou, quickly announced that they would accept Chen Kai's adaptation and continue to garrison Luodingzhou, and at the same time hand over the administrative power of Luodingzhou to the yamen of the governor of Guangdong, and actively cooperate with the establishment of the local advisory bureau.

There is news in the market that Chen Kai officially transferred the government-run iron mine and iron smelting workshop that are still operating in Luodingzhou to Wei Yingdeng and Ye Biao, and the specific details are unknown to ordinary people.

Almost overnight, the four generals announced that they would accept the adaptation, plus the previous Chen Qice, Li Changrong and Wang Xing, Chen Kai had been preparing for a long time, and once he had an attack, he would be shocked by other generals in western Guangdong.

The generals who were still bargaining with Guo Zhiqi died down, and even those generals who originally had the heart to fight again have dropped a lot. When Guo Zhiqi finally took out the report that Chen Kai had sent to him about the river pirates organized by some generals in western Guangdong and looted the goods, and felt Chen Kai's strong malice, these "clever ghosts" made a choice quickly, lest it be delayed for a few more days, and "the validity period of Old Inspector Guo's face" would pass.

At the same time as the arrival of the southwest of Guangdong was determined, Chen Kai also issued an order on the complete embargo and embargo of Gaozhou, Lianzhou, and Leizhou against the Spaniards in the yamen of the governor of Guangdong.

From China to the South Seas, it is too far to sail from the Zhejiang Sea, so most of the ships that go to the South Seas are Fujian and Guangdong, and most of the ships that go to Japan are Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and the north, and the proportion of Guangdong is very small. Fujian and Guangdong provinces are embargoed and embargoed, and the Zhejiang Sea is now also the place where the warships and sea vessels of the Zheng Group gallop across the country, and once the mouth in southwest Guangdong is blocked, the result will naturally be obvious.

It will take time to achieve results, but these three prefectures and one prefecture, plus the areas of several counties before were under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong Governor Yamen, Chen Kai still chose to report to Zheng Chenggong as soon as possible. However, this good news is afraid that it will not be able to be sent to Zheng Chenggong's case in the first place, because Zheng Chenggong has already left Fuzhou at this moment. To be precise, the Ming army in Fujian has already invaded the boundary of Zhejiang, and even if Zheng Chenggong sees and understands it, it is also in Zhejiang, which is separated by a province.

………………

Zhejiang, Siming Mountain. On the mountain road, at the limit of the field of vision, you can still vaguely see the figure in the distance. However, the footprints and ruts left are basically towards the barren mountains, not the fertile Ningshao Plain outside the mountains, which is very strange.

It used to be the most violent place of the anti-Qing movement in eastern Zhejiang, 800 miles of Siming Mountain, a lonely village and a distant fort, and also built a righteous banner. At the height of the day, the Qing court officials were panicked and uneasy, and the Ming army attacked many times, conquered the county seat, swept the villages and towns, and gradually encroached on the areas controlled by the Qing army, so as to cooperate with the Zhoushan Ming army to restore the whole Zhejiang.

However, this momentum came to an abrupt end with the mountain wash in the fourth year of Yongli. And in the following years, especially in the following year, when the Zhizhejiang Jingluo who went to Zhoushan for help hurried back, everywhere he saw, the generals in the mountains, surrendered and killed, due to the bloody massacre of the Qing army, the Simingshan area, which once absorbed a large number of people in the surrounding prefectures and counties, became the ghost of "white bones exposed in the wild, thousands of miles without rooster crowing".

In troubled times, human life is the least valuable. But it is precisely in troubled times that if you want to succeed, human life is also the most valuable, because there is no one without everything!

In the fifth year of Yongli, the army of Lu Jian was defeated in Zhoushan, and Zhejiang's anti-Qing movement fell into a trough. The Qing government occupied all of Zhejiang, intensified population control, and managed to restore production in order to alleviate the enormous financial pressure that had been enormous for many years. As a result, the rate of population recovery in Simingshan is extremely limited, and until the last two years, there has been a significant reversal.

Xue Ao, where Feng Jingdi, the former squire of the Ministry of War, used to be stationed in the festival, and a cottage that was still humble has been restored to a bit of its old appearance.

The camp was encompassed by a sparse wooden fence, and the last gap was recently re-plugged, giving the people in the camp some sense of security. In the camp, the land of the school yard is still being weeded and leveled, but the office courtyard has long been re-built from the ruins that have been burned for many years by means of the old foundation.

The main house of the courtyard is also the location of the government office. Shen Tiaolun, Mao Mingshan, Zou Xiaonan, and some other anti-Qing people in eastern Zhejiang, such as Huang Zongxi and Huang Zongyan, who had served under Wang Yi, gathered here to discuss the next direction of action.

"Back then, Chen Jingcheng asked someone to persuade me to wait and stay dormant for the time being, presumably because he had foreseen that there would be today's situation."

"Come to think of it, it should be so."

At that time, it was the Ming army that recovered the Zhoushan Islands, and after receiving this encouragement, they hurriedly connected in series and prepared to raise affairs in Ningshao and Ningshao, so as to cooperate with the Ming army to recover eastern Zhejiang.

Once upon a time, it was so high-spirited, as if it could kick the Qing court's rule in eastern Zhejiang to collapse. However, Chen Kai didn't care about this, but urged them not to act rashly. And the facts have also proved that after the recovery of Zhoushan, although the Ming army successively collected most of Taizhou and a large number of islands along the coast, the real counteroffensive was never launched. Even the Ming army in Zhoushan only launched raids and harassment operations against the coastal areas, nothing more.

Listening to people's persuasion to eat well, and more importantly, with their strength at that time, they really couldn't connect too much momentum, and they were engaged in the anti-Qing struggle over the years, which also made them understand some things, so under Chen Kai's persuasion, they chose to seek stability at that time. As a result, they were stable, but the Ming army of the Zhoushan Islands gathered heavy troops, but the Qing court could not sit idly by, not only transferred the Eight Banners Army of Gushan Ezhen Yild from the capital, but also transferred the Green Battalion to assist, and held the two mansions of Ningshao to the death, lest the Ming army use it as a breakthrough point, and then threaten the Hangjiahu area.

The two sides confronted each other on the Ningshao-Zhoushan line, and the Ming army had the sea as a barrier, although it did not attack on a large scale, but the frequent attacks and harassment of the landing division by the naval division also made the Qing army very angry. The Qing army entered without sea ships, which was not enough to land on the island, and the code could only be passively beaten, and the atmosphere was naturally not smooth. What's more, the military discipline of the Qing army has always been only the worst and not worse, killing parents and daughters, it can be said that there is no evil, the army is stationed in Ningshao, and the local people have fled to other places, and the Siming Mountain area near the left is the most choice.

The resurgence of the population in the Simingshan area gave them the basis for forming an anti-Qing army. Now it seems that Chen Kai was obviously right in persuading them to endure for a while.

Now, they occupy Xue Ao, absorb the displaced people, run the tuntian, and at the same time connect the gentry and big gentry in Ningshao and Shao who are also dissatisfied with the Qing army. Although there are only more than 1,000 people now, and less than 300 peasants and soldiers who have not been able to leave production, they have at least made a good start. But if they rashly send troops to attack the county seat, they still don't have the courage - without him, there is a huge disparity in strength, and their lives are in vain.

"I went to Taizhou this time, I saw Uncle Hong and Ma Shuai, and listened to what they meant, so that we can get ready, as long as we wait for Wang Shi to launch a counterattack, we will raise troops in the rear of the Tartars to respond, and we can seize eastern Zhejiang in one fell swoop!"

"The Marquis of Gan and Zhang Shilang over there in Zhoushan also said the same, and I heard Zhang Shilang say that His Royal Highness the King of Min has sworn in Fuzhou."

"I just don't know, this time Fujian Wangshi entered Zhejiang, where was the breakthrough point?"

In the past two years, after the rapid recovery of Fujian, Guangdong, and Southern Jiangxi in the previous years, the Ming army, which was originally confined to Zhangchao, seemed to have become a behemoth in an instant. It took a lot of time to digest the fruits of victory, especially when Fujian was already in ruins. But even so, the Ming army's encroachment on Zhejiang has never stopped, and in the past two years, the Qing army's Zhejiang naval division has basically ceased to exist along the coast, and the rest is just some inland river fleets. The Ming army occupied Taizhou and almost all the coastal islands, not only the Qing army in Ningshao, but also the Qing army in the coastal prefectures and counties were in a passive situation.

Strategically, Zhejiang was attacked and defended by the Qing Dynasty, and it was forced to fortify everywhere, which was certainly not a good thing for the Qing army, but for Huang Zongxi and others, who resisted the Qing Dynasty in eastern Zhejiang, they could only wait for news passively. Even if they have a close connection with Zhang Huangyan, it is inevitable that this is the case.

The eyes are blackened, but this does not prevent them from secretly colluding and plotting rebellion. Judging from the situation in the whole country, the Ming court is still in danger, but if you just talk about Zhejiang, it will be a little unfavorable to the Qing court, which also gives them a lot of opportunities to take advantage of.

"Now it's all the Prince of Tartar and that Gushan Ezhen Yild who are supporting the situation, if it weren't for them, Zhejiang would have been recovered a long time ago."

In the rebellion activities, Huang Zongyan did not run around for this less. Fujian and Guangdong changed drastically, and Nanjiang was also taken down by Chen Kai, and the hearts of the people on the ground in Zhejiang fluctuated greatly. It's just that the Qing army is in charge, and the prestige of the Eight Banners Army can still hold the field, and it is a stalemate for the time being.

It is said that the Qing court is still increasing troops from Beijing to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is difficult to say how much, but it will not be a small number. It's just that no matter what the number is, it's not something they can compete with. The only thing that can be counted on now is that the Fujian Ming army can open up the situation, so that they can have room for operation, otherwise with more than 200 peasant soldiers, it is not enough to stuff the green camp in the county seat.

"Then, it's better to restore the Dalan cottage first, and it will be justified."

Dalan cottage is where Wang Yi and Wang Jiang were stationed in the festival, which once created the pinnacle of Zhejiang's local anti-Qing movement, and has a great weight in the hearts of the anti-Qing people in eastern Zhejiang. This is the banner of re-establishing the local anti-Qing movement in Zhejiang, and its political significance is not trivial.

Everyone here, with Huang Zongxi having the highest official position and taking the lead in the series, has long been headed by him. Hearing everyone's proposal to restore Dalan Cottage here, this hot-tempered Yao Jiang Huang Xiaozi was also excited. It's just that after the excitement, his expression couldn't help but darken: "I'm afraid it's too early now." ”

"How long will we have to wait?"

"Let's wait for His Royal Highness the King of Min, Uncle Hong, and Zhang Shilang to make a move." seemed to recall Chen Kai's old talk, or remembered something else: "With our little people, being the first bird can't share the worries of Wang Shi, but it will ruin the overall situation of internal and external attacks." ”
