Chapter 100: Ji Sun's Worries (3)

Unlike the Zheng group in the history of Chaozhou, Zhongzuo and Zhoushan at the same time in Chaozhou, Zhongzuo and Zhoushan three lines against the Qing army, but its own strength has yet to grow, now the Zheng group has controlled a province of Fujian, plus most of the southern Jiangxi, Guangdong and Zhoushan Islands, its own strength is a qualitative increase.

On the battlefield of Taizhou, the fleet of more than 300 warships led by Hong Xu was no longer limited to receiving Ma Xin's subordinates and withdrawing to the center and left. At this time, in addition to Hong Xu's fleet, Zheng Chenggong also transferred troops from four towns from Shaowu Mansion and Jianning Mansion to accompany him, which greatly enhanced the strength of this partial division that invaded Zhejiang.

Except for a directly subordinate army led by Ma Xinqin stationed in the capital of Taizhou, the rest of the Taizhou Association are all divided into counties. The Ming army took control of the capital city of Taizhou, and Hong Xu immediately dispatched the towns at the first time, and Ma Xin's cronies carried letters as guides and lobbyists, and went straight to the counties - tracing the river, to the west such as Yong'an Creek, to the county seat of Xianju, to the north of Shifeng Creek, to the county seat of Tiantai; Downstream of the river, the Acropolis of Haimen at the mouth of the sea, and the county town of Huangyan not far from the confluence of the lower reaches of the Yongning River and the Chengjiang River, the Ming army relied on this waterway of the Chengjiang River to launch an offensive to sweep the counties of Taizhou with lightning speed.

Compared with the large range that occurred in southwest Fujian, northern Guangdong, southern Jiangxi, and eastern Guangxi, involving more than 100,000 troops, the scene that happened in Taizhou was too sesame mung bean, and it was really not very eye-catching. However, in Zhejiang, especially in eastern Zhejiang, this change inevitably shook many hearts that had already begun to stir.

In the countryside of Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture, it is still the house where Shen Tiaolun was grounded from studying, and there are still those people who share the good news and inevitably complain.

"Tiantai County, I followed Wang Jingluo back then. From there, you can cross the boundary of Xinchang County and go straight to Siming Mountain. Entering Siming Mountain, Shaoxing and Ningbo, both prefectures were under the front of the army. If we had waited for an incident in Dalan Mountain last year, we would have been able to pick up Uncle Hong and Ma Shuai to go north now! ”

Between Shen Tiaolun's words, there was no lack of complaints against Chen Kai for preventing them from starting an incident. This is the most uncommon among the people present, Zou Xiaonan, Mao Mingshan, and Huang Zongyan, who just came back from western Zhejiang, even if they didn't say anything, they inevitably had a look of agreement on their faces.

Everyone sat here and complained, and the short-tempered Mao Mingshan even said that he should start it immediately, and it was not good to hesitate again. Others, on the other hand, feel the same way, but they are afraid that they will not be able to achieve the desired results due to too much haste and insufficient preparation.

"We should mobilize more gentry and common people, let them act together, be the pioneer of the king's master, and completely overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Tartars in our Zhejiang!"

Ningshao has always been one, in the geographical Ningshao Plain, but also in the regional culture produced in this land. Today, to the east of the two prefectures of Ningshao is the Ming army's army in Zhoushan, and to the south is the Taizhou Mansion that is being recovered by the Ming army.

During this time, Huang Zongyan raised his arms and shouted, and most of the people got up and agreed. However, when Huang Zongyan, who was already excited, turned his head and looked at his brother, he only saw Huang Zongxi, who had a violent temper that was not much worse than Mao Mingshan as a military general, and was still sitting there at this time, his eyelids pressed down, his eyes condensed, as if he wanted to see through the true meaning of it from the fog that was clearly the floor.

"Brother?"

Huang Zongxi's temper has been like this since he was a child, so he rested his inner boxing, plus reading to nourish his qi, in order to polish it. Over the years, my temper has not improved much, but the deeper my mind becomes, the more clear and clear my worries are than those of them.

During this time, Huang Zongyan asked tentatively, Huang Zongxi raised his eyelids again, first glanced at everyone, and then came to a diametrically opposite conclusion: "Chen Kai is not wrong, at least his opinion was right at the beginning." ”

Regarding Chen Kai's original opinion, everyone has read the two letters together. According to Wang Jiang's relayed Chen Kai's opinion, the troops recovering Zhoushan were the partial division of the Ming army, and the main task of the Ming army in Fujian at the moment was to ensure the stability of Fujian, rather than to continue to advance northward. This is not only because of the initial decision of Fujian, which must be deterred by a large army, but more importantly, it is also about the expansion of the army and the resources that directly affect the expansion of the army, all of which affect the strategic decision-making of the Ming army in Fujian.

In this way, the main force of the Ming army did not move, but the anti-Qing people in Zhejiang moved first, and it was easy to fall into the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army. This will undoubtedly cause further damage to the anti-Qing movement in Zhejiang, which has already suffered a serious blow, and it is completely better to wait until the Ming army really sends a large army into Zhejiang to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, and then they can launch it again to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"During this period of time, we can see that Ba Chenggong and Zhang Hongde are anyway, Uncle Hong and they are transporting these green camps back to Fujian. Especially Zhang Hongde Anyway, Ningbo can be said to be at your fingertips, in that case, Uncle Hong did not choose to give it a go, and it was clear that it was just a partial division, and it was just the responsibility of the partial division to contain it. ”

Speaking of which, Huang Zongxi didn't know if Chen Kai persuaded Zheng Chenggong, or if Zheng Chenggong didn't plan to continue to expand the results. However, the result is the way it is now, about 20,000 or 30,000 Ming troops are stationed in Zhoushan, staring at the green battalion of Ningshao and Shao, which only has 35,000 people, but they are not moving, which is enough to explain the situation.

"If we had moved, the king of Zhoushan might not have sat idly by!"

Shen Tiaolun is bent on rebuilding the glory of the Ming Army of Dalan Mountain, and even he himself always feels as if it is far-fetched, let alone others.

"Uncle Hong, Uncle Chen, Gan Shuai, Chen Shuai, they are all Fujian, Zhang Hou Ye and Cang Shui are from Zhejiang, but I heard that Zhang Hou Ye is dead, some people say that Zhang Hou Ye always wants to help His Royal Highness King Lu up again, so the country surnamed Ye simply sent someone to poison him to death!"

Zou Xiaonan said so, in fact, everyone has heard of it more or less. At the end of last year, not long after the Ming army recovered Zhoushan, Zhang Mingzhen suddenly died. It is said that Zhang Mingzhen searched for his mother's corpse all over the island, and he was filled with grief and died of a carbuncle on his back. However, before Zhang Mingzhen's death, he handed over the military power to Zhang Huangyan, but after Zhang Mingzhen's death, Zheng Chenggong directly handed over Zhang's department to Chen Liuyu to control it, and Zhang Huangyan was still the supervisor of that army.

Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan were both important ministers of the Lu Jian Dynasty, especially the former, and they were the confidant generals of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, and the chief noble military general in the later period of the Lu Jian Dynasty. After Zhang Mingzhen had to go south to rely on Zheng Chenggong, he always tried his best to maintain the independence of his troops and horses, and later did not hesitate to part ways with Chen Hui at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Such a figure is an eyesore in the eyes of any commander. What's more, after Zhang Mingzhen's death, Zheng Chenggong's involvement in military power made many anti-Qing people in eastern Zhejiang believe this rumor that came out of nowhere.

The orthodox dispute between Tang and Lu, the regional differences between Fujian and Zhejiang, Zou Xiaonan put these things back on the table, and everyone was speechless, but the sense of urgency to act as soon as possible was dispelled a lot.

However, at this time, Huang Zongxi stood up, that is, with the current conditions of the anti-Qing forces in Zhejiang, and even the anti-Qing forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang as a whole It is difficult to achieve the goal of recovering the lost territory, and cooperation with the Zheng Group is inevitable, so it is unnecessary to discourage their own enthusiasm for such things. At the very least, it is not necessary now.

"Then according to Lizhou's opinion, what should we do now?"

Shen Tiaolun turned to Huang Zongxi, and Huang Zongxi did not hesitate: "In my opinion, Uncle Hong's attack on Taizhou is likely to be a partial division." Otherwise, Fujian will become more and more stable, and it should be the national surname Ye, not Uncle Hong. For the time being, let's continue to lurk as Chen Kai suggested, waiting for the opportunity. At the same time, we must also strengthen the tandem in private, contact more gentry and people, and wait until the main force of the army enters Zhejiang, and launch it with a more violent attitude. ”

Huang Zongxi set the tone, and everyone couldn't find a reason to refute him, so they could only leave it at that. In this, Shen Tiaolun and several of them from Dalanshan were quite anxious, but they didn't wait long, and new news came, saying that the Qing army took Manchuria's Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Yild as the general of Ninghai, and led a Eight Banners Army south to Zhejiang, in order to expel the Ming army occupying Zhoushan.

"This is probably the right time that Chen Kai is waiting for."

Secretly, Huang Zongxi already had a vague outline in his mind. At the same time, the news of Yild's southward movement had already been sent to Fujian at the fastest speed through Li Yu's special intelligence transmission line in Hangzhou, which gave the bigwigs who had access to these urgent military situations a complex idea of joy and sorrow and joy and worry about the military situation of the Ming army's recovery of Taizhou.

In Fuzhou, the highest-ranking figure here is Zheng Chenggong, who is not only the supreme commander of the Ming army in Fujian, Guangdong, most of Southern Jiangxi and some parts of Zhejiang, but also the prince of the Ming court, and the leader of the Zheng group. The founder of the Zheng Group is Zheng Chenggong's father, Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Chenggong's eldest son, Zheng Jing, will also be the next leader of the Zheng Group according to legal theory.

It's just that now the next leader doesn't have the opportunity to get in touch with such information in the first place, his most important job now is to study and study under Feng Chengshi's disciple, and acquiring knowledge is the most important thing for this young man who is not yet fourteen years old at the moment.

“…… In the past, King Chu Cheng asked Duke Wen of Jin, if the prince opposed the Jin Kingdom, why would he not be able to repay the grain? Jin Wengong said: If you use the spirit of the king, you have to oppose the Jin country, and the Jin and Chu govern the army, and when you meet in the Central Plains, you will open up the king. To the battle of Chengpu, Jin Wengong kept his promise and retreated to avoid the Chu army, and the Chu army rushed forward and was defeated by the Jin army. Later, Duke Wen of Jin practiced the land alliance and established the status of one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period of Duke Wen of Jin. ”

The enlightenment of the Zheng Jing has been completed, and the Confucian classics, "Spring and Autumn" are indispensable to read. Feng Chengshi's teaching of Zheng Jing, the interpretation of the Spring and Autumn Period is the most important component. Today, we are finishing telling the story of Jin Wengong's hegemony, which established the hegemony of the Jin Kingdom.

After the explanation, Feng Chengshi asked Zheng Jing to talk about his thoughts after hearing this, and then gave it some in-depth interpretation, and when the time came, he let Zheng Jing go to class, and he had no intention of delaying the hall at all.

Feng Chengshi didn't plan to use the same set of his husband when he was studying on Zheng Jing, because the purpose of his original study was the imperial examination, and Zheng Jing obviously didn't need this. This young man who is slowly growing up with a golden soup spoon will sooner or later inherit his father's maritime group, and if the Ming Dynasty can be prosperous in the future, it is likely that he will be a young man.

Compared with those one-eyed gentlemen when he was enlightened before, Feng Chengshi obviously won Zheng Jing's heart more. During this time, Feng Chengshi had no intention of delaying the court, but Zheng Jing was still a little unsatisfied. However, his mother, Dong Yougu, said that he would be the leader of the Zheng group in the future, and he should not be too close to his subordinates, so as not to be spoiled by others, but it would be a mistake and a bad relationship between them.

After respectfully saluting, Zheng Jing retreated, left Feng Chengshi's house surrounded by household servants, scholars, guards and others, boarded the carriage, and returned to Zheng Chenggong's mansion.

When he went out of the mansion, he happened to meet Feng Chengshi's son Feng Xifan returning from the outside, the two had already been acquainted, and after a few words of conversation, Zheng Jing took his leave and left. It was Feng Xifan who watched Zheng Jing's carriage and horses go away, and then hurried to his father's study.

"Father, can you still talk about Jin Wengong today?"

"Naturally, it's time to finish."

"So, what about the Tian family?"

Tian's generation of Qi is also a story that happened in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it was already the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. At this time, when Feng Chengshi heard this, he who was still writing something with his head bowed raised his head suddenly, and the word annoyance was self-evident in his face.

"You're still so fucky, when will you be able to change it?"

Unheard of his words, Feng Xifan already knew that he had done it. Speaking of which, he was just a little more straightforward here, but his father's qi cultivation kung fu, which he wanted him to pay attention to, was left behind.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Feng Chengshi certainly understood what his son was thinking. He was not without the same thoughts. It's just that he knows better than his son what he should be doing at the moment. Compared with a moment and a half, he is more concerned about long-term development.

"Put away all your careful thoughts for your father, Chen Kai entered Nangan and put himself on the stove to roast, and now it is superfluous for our father and son to do anything related to him."
