Chapter 59: Repetition of Old Tricks (4)
Since the beginning of this year, the main force of the Qing army has invaded Yunnan and Guizhou, while the southeastern Ming army has done its best to Zhejiang. During this period, Wang Xiuqi did not launch an offensive against various passes, and they did not attack Fujian, as if they were afraid of moving their whole body.
In the second hall of the Admiral's Yamen, Zhou Lianggongshen mysteriously shared the news that he had easily obtained, and then put forward some views on the changes in the future situation.
In this regard, Tong Guoqi and other civil and military personnel expressed their agreement with the reverie caused by these clues. In their words, the conflict between Sun and Li intensified day by day, and eventually led to infighting; The Zheng group, which is equal to the camp of the Great Western Army, with the expansion of the power of Chen Kai, a person with a foreign surname, has gradually had a tendency to become a big tail, and it is only a matter of time before there is internal strife.
The second hall was very lively for a while, and they said that they should send more detailed works to Fujian and Guangdong at the same time as the Qing court, spread rumors and discord, and accelerate the evolution of this process. Everyone was elated, as if it wouldn't be long before Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong would break the blood, and they would also respond to the "big game of chess" they played back then.
Here, everyone had a general expression, but the Admiral Yang Minggao seemed a little absent-minded. And this incompatibility is even more obvious.
"Yang Shuai, but if you have any opinions, you might as well talk about it with you."
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to regain Fujian, they were guilty of making meritorious contributions, which these former high-ranking officials and commanders in Fujian had been longing for for many years. This, of course, also includes Yang Minggao. However, when Zhou Lianggong talked about hope, everyone responded and boldly imagined the future, but Yang Minggao seemed to be lacking in interest, as the opener of the topic, the former Fujian political envoy was naturally displeased.
"It's just a dream."
Thinking like this in his heart, Yang Minggao would never say it. In fact, he knows very well, and even knows very well that these people here, including Zhou Lianggong, can all realize that Sun Li's infighting in the southwest finally made the Manchus pick up such a big bargain, which is really a once-in-a-lifetime miracle. This kind of thing is unimaginable to happen once, let alone come again.
Emotionally unbelievable, and even more so rationally. Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, both of whom were the four princes under Zhang Xianzhong's seat back then, were equal in status, and each of them also had an army subordinate to him. The discord after six years of Yongli is evident that Li Dingguo can lead the army to go alone. And between Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong, the former was born as the latter's staff, and now he is powerful, but he is also a civilian official, and he has great influence in the administrative system and Guangdong Province.
The possibility of a military encounter like Sun Li is very small. Even if 10,000 are stacked together by chance, the two really have to decide a winner, Chen Kai can enter the court as an official if he fails, and his friendship with Li Dingguo is also a way out; Even if Zheng Chenggong loses, Chen Kai will definitely treat it well in order to keep the Zheng Group's maritime trade system. It is really unthinkable to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and then lead the Qing army to take revenge like Sun Kewang.
Sun Kewang's joke is irreproducible, this is something that everyone knows very well. However, when Zhou Lianggong said this, everyone was still happy, and some of their thoughts catered to their desires, and half of them acted for others, so as not to be regarded as an anomaly, and they tacitly agreed.
Everyone's eyes gathered, and Yang Minggao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sighing that these people's foolish dreams were even more helpless under the general trend. But since Zhou Lianggong asked, he still had to say: "The monarchs are planning for the future of the court and us, and they are all old and good for the country." Yu Benshuai was distracted, and he was really ashamed. ”
"What's worth distracting Yang Shuai?"
Tong Guoqi relied on his family background and a lot of real money to keep it, but he was not a mediocre talent, but Chen Kai's tricks back then were too vicious. Here, Yang Minggao obviously has something to say, and he doesn't mind handing over a ladder. In the end, it is nothing more than trying to twist this group of people into a rope and unite to deal with threats from inside and outside.
With Tong Guoqi's steps, Yang Minggao nodded, and then said: "If you return to the Fu Army, the last general just thinks that Chen Kai has been too quiet recently, and he may have a big picture." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed. Even if I didn't understand what happened back then, over the years, everyone gradually figured out what was going on. As for the nonsense of 110,000 taels of Fuyin and the governor's yamen in the next big game of chess, it is just an excuse to make meritorious contributions and get rid of crimes, and no one will really take it seriously. For Chen Kai, the trader in the Qing Zheng Discussion and the big scam, they couldn't help but grit their teeth when they heard this person's name, but they could play these old fritters in the officialdom around, but they also inevitably had to feel a little jealous.
"This ...... With such a big offensive in Zhejiang, didn't the imperial court say that even Guangdong was transferred a lot of troops by Zheng Wei. He has a Fu Biao in his hand, and there are some newly attached thieves, I'm afraid he doesn't have that much capital, right? ”
Zheng Chenggong transferred several towns from Guangdong to reinforce the Zhejiang battlefield, and Hong Chengchou's side had already made a performance to the Qing court, and they also received a notification. Zheng Group's current strategic focus is clearly in Zhejiang, Zheng Chenggong did not have the ambition of sweeping Jiangsu and Zhejiang and taking the lead in recovering Nanjing. In Guangdong, it is inevitable to adopt a defensive position, which is a normal deployment at the strategic level. It's just that Chen Kai can never be speculated with normal thinking......
"No, no, if you want to have a plan, you must have rice in the pot. According to the detailed report, Zhang Yue and Guo Dengdi's troops have just been assigned to Chen Wei's Fubiao, and even the soldiers are still being selected and replenished, let alone trained. Ma Bao's town is no longer replenishing soldiers, but according to Chen Kai's habits, he still needs to be trained. As for Wang Han or something, he is just a nobody, and he is not afraid. Even if he wants to do it, whether it is Wuzhou or Ji'an, if the official army has a slight advantage, he will have one town, at most two towns, no more than three towns, and no more than three towns, and he can't stir up any waves wherever he puts it. ”
After all, strategy and tactics are not utopian and can be counted, and it is also a real problem that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. From this point of view, Chen Kai's hands-on action is not a temporary thing. What's more, the strategic situation directly related to Guangdong has not changed much in the past two years, and the Qing army has already deployed heavy troops and strong generals in Wuzhou and Ji'an, in order to lock up Chen Kai, so as to prevent his people from disrupting the war situation like in the eighth year of Yongli.
