"Virtuous nephew?"

After a few days of reining in the remnants of the defeated army, it was also because Geng Jimao's mental and physical condition was really inconvenient for the fatigue of the boat and car, so he forcibly grabbed the doctor and prescribed some calming medicine to eat, and finally woke up, and then slowly went down the Xijiang River from the wharf to the Huizhou capital.

Huizhou Mansion City is located in the southwest of Huizhou Prefecture, close to the boundary of Dongguan County in the east of Guangzhou. Shang Kexi hurriedly came to meet some of the feudal soldiers after receiving the emergency, instead of the whole division, in the final analysis, he still couldn't leave an empty city in Guangzhou, so as not to have any accidents.

Seeing Geng Jimao, the once high-spirited young prince shrank in the airtight carriage, and the clumps of brocade were wrapped tightly, but he was still in a cold sweat, his face was pale and trembling, and he didn't react to his arrival at all.

"How so?"

The commander had already fallen ill, and the other general soldier was captured, and Lian Decheng had to step forward to explain to Shang Kexi, who was dumbfounded for a while. In the end, Lian Decheng fell to his knees, and asked Shang Kexi to avenge Geng Jimao, Xu Degong, and the old Dongjiang troops who followed them from Liaodong to the customs.

Even the sound of blood is still crying, even if it is a stone, a few tears will come out. Shang Kexi looked at Geng Jimao, and then at Lian Decheng, his gaze extended, and the soldiers of the Jingnan Domain, who were still freshly dressed and angry when they went out to fight, were already embarrassed like a group of beggars at the moment, and they were all in his eyes. However, the tragic situation was like this, Shang Kexi hesitated again and again, but he only said "It's not time yet", and hurriedly ordered the officials of Huizhou Prefecture to settle these remnants of the Jingnan Domain. For revenge, for raising the army to fight Chen Kai to the death, he didn't even spit out a word.

………………

On the battlefield of Guangdong, after the short day and three shocks after the victory in Guilin, after Li Dingguo went north to meet Nikan, he marched westward, and after this fall, he fell to the bottom. The only thing that can make them happy is that Chen Kai did not kill the Lotus Mountain Range in a hurry, which gave them time to breathe, but also ensured that the Ming army could steadily keep the fruits of this victory, and there would be no accidents because of the light enemy.

The news here should be delivered to Beijing as quickly as possible. Not only is such a big defeat absolutely impossible to hide, but more importantly, Shang Kexi also urgently needs reinforcements from the Qing court to maintain the situation in Guangdong, otherwise when Chen Kai digests the fruits of victory, the situation he has to face will be even more difficult to deal with.

Nanjing, the only way for news to go north, even if it no longer exists in the administrative system of the Qing court as a liudu, its important position in the military, politics and economy has not been greatly degraded. This state of affairs is evident from this, even in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, when the Governor of Liangjiang was also the second person to succeed the Governor of Zhili.

In the Furong Villa in Baimao Port, Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture, because there is a world-famous figure living here, even if he has long lost his power, but only by virtue of those relationships in the literary world, in the officialdom, and between relatives and friends, even if he travels here, the speed of getting news is not much worse.

"Zhong Cuo, and the Luo River, in the face of such a fierce Eight Banners Army, the Fujian Wang Division can also achieve two battles and two victories, which is really the blessing of Emperor Gao."

"Yes, Jin Li's Hangzhou garrison Eight Banners, several times with the Wang Division, has never been effortless, this time the feather returned, it is said that a lot of soldiers have been lost, is asking for help from the court."

"That's it, there are also the soldiers of the Geng family, they are all proud soldiers and fierce generals who came out of Liaodong, and they are all elite soldiers who have entered the Han army banner, and they have all met their heads twice in a row and ended up bleeding, really, haha, what a happy heart!"

“……”

In Qian Qianyi's study, the subordinates had already been expelled. The head of the house did not like to be disturbed when he was reciting poetry against the famous prostitute-turned-mistress, especially when meeting with well-known scholars.

At this moment, Qian Qianyi and Liu Ru are a couple here, and among the few people who laughed, there were Yao Zhizhuo, the martial arts uncle, Li Zhichun, who had the rank of Governor of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhang Zhongfu, the squire of the Ministry of War, He Wangsheng, the director of the Ministry of War, and two Confucian scholars, one Zhu Quangu and one Muben.

These people are basically knighthoods and official positions appointed by the Lu Jian Dynasty, but at the moment, they are applauding the victory of the Zheng Group, the old opponent of the Lu Jian Guo Dynasty, without the slightest guilt.

"Or the shepherd has the wisdom of knowing people, the surname of the country is under the herdsman, and the herdsman also gave the name of the big wood back then, and now it has become the optimus jade pillar supporting the southeast."

"Yes, and that Chen Jingcheng, who is so resourceful and decisive, he still has to come to the shepherd to ask for advice."

"With these two people in Fujian and Guangdong, the good days of Tartar are over."

“……”

For the good news, the wine and words were happy, and the sedan chair people carried people, and naturally they inevitably had to tout the ability of Qian Qianyi, which was not only a compliment, but also to add some confidence to the major events they wanted to discuss on this trip.

"With this great victory, it is the embodiment of Da Mu and Jingcheng's talent and courage, and the old man is really ashamed. However, the three bureaus of this catalpa have been recognized by Damu and Jingcheng, and their series of big moves in Fujian and Guangdong provinces are also with the help of the monarchs, adding some chances of winning to this discussion. ”

Qian Qianyi raised silver money, which was sent to Zheng Chenggong's army by Liu Ru is southward center, and Chen Kai also lost half of this silver money. Although the benefits of war are not very great, this intention still makes their lives more comfortable, so that they can gather more strength.

After saying this, everyone also understood that Qian Qianyi was adding a factual basis to the matter of vigorously funding the Ming Army in the southeast that he advocated earlier. However, no matter how the silver was used, it is an indisputable fact that the Ming army has achieved great victories on both fronts in southern Fujian and eastern Guangdong. This victory is the foundation, even if the court asks about it, there is a saying.

"A great victory is rare, not to mention that Chen Jingcheng actually led the fleet to occupy those islands at the mouth of the Pearl River, ran to Shang Kexi's dog thief's nose to collect the sea endowment, and did not let Shang Geng's two feudal ships go to sea, think about Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao's angry appearance, it's really happy, happy!"

For this reason, everyone was exposed again, and then Qian Qianyi inevitably drank too much and delayed the discussion, so he brought the events of the Guangdong and Fujian battlefields to an end in a few words.

"The three bureaus of the catalpa are still in accordance with the plan of the shepherd. I've been to Guizhou, and I'm the best at it. However, how to convince His Royal Highness the King of Qin still needs to be calculated. ”

Yao Zhizhuo received the important task of going to Guizhou, and everyone hurriedly discussed the candidates for the entourage and the remarks to Sun Kewang. In terms of candidates, in fact, there has long been a tacit understanding, Li Zhichun, Zhang Chongfu, He Wangsheng and others all have different local relationships, and in this three bureaus, they are responsible for contacting Nanzhili Yishi and those potential anti-Qing forces. At this point, Qian Qianyi is the same way, especially because his fame is too great, but anyone who has a stir will attract the attention of the Qing court, and it is impossible to go so far.

"In this matter, it is better for the younger brother to go to Guizhou with the uncle."

The matter of the candidate was agreed on without much effort, and then, He Wangsheng took out another letter and asked Yao Zhizhuo to hand it over to Lei Yuelong, a scholar of the Xingying University in the Qin Palace. He was the son of He Shishou, the governor of Tianjin in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the official position of the head of the military department was also that of the Chongzhen Dynasty, which was very different from the official positions appointed by these other Lu Jian Dynasty. That Lei University Scholar is his teacher, and with this relationship, they can use Lei Yuelong to increase their efforts to persuade Sun Kewang, which is always beneficial to major events.

However, He Wangsheng and the leader of the rebel army in Jiangbei, Pingyi, who was born in the Yuyuan Army in Shandong, have an unrivaled relationship, and this relationship cannot be replaced by others. Otherwise, if He Wangsheng went to Guizhou in person, the persuasion would be even greater.

"In this case, the affairs of the southeast will have to bother Mu Weng, Li Ge Lao, Zhang Shilang, and Director He. The three of us, with a little preparation, should set off in March. If nothing else, you should be able to arrive in Guizhou in July and August. ”

The calculation has been decided, and this is a big game of chess related to the south of the Yangtze River. According to Qian Qianyi's plan, the southwestern Ming army went out of Huguang and occupied Wuhan, and then went down the river, and the rebel army in Jiangnan and the Ming army in Fujian and Guangdong sent partial divisions to respond and take Nanjing in one fell swoop. Then, with the Fujian Navy Division cutting off the Yangtze River and cleaning up the Qing army south of the Yangtze River, the river can be redrawn and ruled.

For this reason, after sending everyone away, Qian Qianyi was still a little hesitant, hesitating to hint at Ma Jinbao about whether to go to Jinhua Mansion again. This hesitation is not because Ma Jinbao lost his troops and his strength was damaged last year, but because he didn't know that Ma Jinbao had returned to Jinhua now and was still assisting in Fujian defense.
