In late October of the ninth year of Yongli, the Ming army sailors who went north from Fujian converged with Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan, who had just been squeezed out of the Yangtze River estuary by Liang Huafeng, and recovered Zhoushan. Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the Ming army to attack the nearby Ningbo Mansion, Zhang Hongde, the deputy general of Ningbo stationed there, took the lead in returning to the Ming Dynasty anyway. For a time, along the east coast of Zhejiang, the wind was loud!

In an inconspicuous small village in the countryside of Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture, there is an equally inconspicuous house here that belongs to the Shen family of the Yuyao clan.

The most famous contemporary figure of the Shen family is Shen Guomo, the founder of Yaojiang Academy, who is the successor of Yangming Xinxue, and Yaojiang Academy is also an important base for the gathering of scholars from the Wangmen in central Zhejiang to discuss learning. After entering the Qing Dynasty, his friends Liu Zongzhou and Qi Biaojia were martyred successively, and Shen Guomo simply lived in seclusion in Shilang and devoted himself to lecturing, just seeking to carry forward Yangming's Xinxue.

Shen Guomo is now eighty years old, living in seclusion all the year round, and has less participation in the affairs of the clan. However, the nephew who lived in this house was deliberately arranged by him, which was like house arrest, because his nephew named Shen Tiaolun was really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Taichong, are you saying that Zhoushan has been recovered, is that really the case?"

In the dim study, Shen Tiaolun stood up when he heard this, clasped Huang Zongxi's arms with both hands, and tears spurted out of his eyes.

He was a scholar from eastern Zhejiang who had followed Wang Yi of the Lu Jian Dynasty and Zhejiang Jingluo, and he was a colleague with Wang Jiang, but it was far less than Wang Jiang's status in the Ming army of Dalanshan.

In that year, the Ming army of Dalanshan took advantage of the opportunity of the Lu Jian State to make trouble in Fujian, and the main force of the Qing army in Zhejiang to aid Fujian, and the development momentum in eastern Zhejiang was excellent.

However, with the Qing army's advance and suppression in the fourth year of Yongli, the Ming army of Dalanshan was annihilated, Wang Jiang was captured, and the generals left behind were killed and killed, and Wang Yi was killed by the Qing army and Ningbo Dinghai in the following year. Immediately afterwards, Zhoushanxing, which was guarded by the Ming army of Dalanshan, fell, and the anti-Qing movement in eastern Zhejiang also fell to the bottom.

At this moment, Shen Tiaolun Rusi showed that Huang Zongxi had expected it even before he came, but he was still shocked by this excitement.

The gaze of expectation and longing hit his face like a substance, and the surprise, excitement, worry, uneasiness, and all kinds of emotions entered the bottom of his eyes. Seeing this, Huang Zongxi nodded heavily, indicating that his news was true, and a trusted friend of his had also sneaked to Zhoushan to meet Zhang Huangyan, and it was Zhang Huangyan who told him the details of the battle.

"Great, great."

Letting go of his arm, he suddenly felt pain, Huang Zongxi clearly remembered that Shen Tiaolun was a Confucian student, and he couldn't say that he had no power to restrain the chicken, but he didn't practice the inner boxing method like him. But the man in front of him clenched his fists in excitement, walked back and forth in front of him, and said such similar words in his mouth, and the pain in his arm was nothing strange.

Shen Tiaolun was obviously too excited to help himself, in fact, for Huang Zongxi, how could it be that he had just gotten such news. In retrospect, the past two years can really be described as good news, the Ming army's counteroffensive operations in Fujian and Guangdong have achieved substantial results, and now the Ming army has rekindled the flames of war to Zhejiang, Zhoushan is obviously just the beginning, just like the Hong Kong Island that Chen Kai chose when he received Guangdong.

The person in front of him is indeed a like-minded person like him. In fact, Shen Tiaolun's old boss Wang Yi is like this with him, otherwise the two would not have decided on their children's families. Too many such comrades have fallen, and most of what remains is hidden in various places, weeping too much for the sinking of state affairs. But even so, Huang Zongxi never thought of giving up, Zhejiang's anti-Qing movement was suppressed, he in Zhejiang, in Nanzhili and Qian Qianyi together to collect intelligence, collude with the gentry, and plot against the Qing court's officials and generals, and strive to accumulate greater strength before the main force of the Ming army returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Now, at last, they see a tangible hope.

After a while, Shen Tiaolun's excitement had been suppressed a little, so he hurriedly asked Huang Zongxi to recount the details of the battle of Zhoushan to him. Subsequently, when it was re-established that the battle of the Ming army to recover Zhoushan had an overwhelming advantage, the defenders were defeated in the field at one time, and then besieged the city to force the defenders to surrender, which frightened a nearby adjutant general of the Qing army to raise his troops anyway. Fang Cai's excitement reappeared in front of Huang Zongxi's eyes.

"Great, great, Wang Shi is so prestigious, just smashing into the tiger's den and sweeping Zhejiang Province." With such an assertion, Shen Tiaolun immediately shouted to Huang Zongxi: "Taichong, we should immediately organize the gentry and people of Ning Shao to raise troops and drive the king forward!" ”

Shen Tiaolun poured out his thoughts without any taboos, and suddenly felt very happy. And such a plan is the reason why Huang Zongxi came to him this time.

"Erxu, what are you going to do?"

"Needless to say, of course, it is to raise troops in Dalan Mountain, and then continue Wang Jingluo's career back then!"

In fact, Huang Zongxi had already made a decision about this, and he asked here that he had a plan to see if the two of them thought of together. At this moment, I saw Shen Tiaolun answering like this, even if there was a feeling that something big could be accomplished.

If we say that the fall of Zhoushan is a sign that the anti-Qing movement in eastern Zhejiang was basically suppressed by the Qing army. Then the fall of the Siming Mountain area, especially the fall of the Ming army in Dalanshan, is the precursor of this scene.

The Dalanshan Ming Army has always been the backbone of the Zhulu Ming Army and the Righteous Army in the entire Siming Mountain and Tiantai Mountain area, and Wang Yi was able to lead such a high-ranking official as a member of the Zhizhejiang Jingluo, in the final analysis, because he was the leader of the Zhulu Ming Army in the Siming Mountain area. This Ming army is different from other Ming armies and righteous armies in eastern Zhejiang during the same period, it is not a dry river and fishing, burning forests and hunting, they take Dalan Mountain as the center, and establish a virtuous circle in which the army protects the people from the intrusion of the Qing army and the exploitation of the officials, and the people pay taxes to support the army, which gradually grows and becomes a force that cannot be ignored in eastern Zhejiang.

This was not only praised by the gentry and common people of eastern Zhejiang at that time, but also regarded by later generations as a model and example for Confucian scholars to lead the anti-Qing movement. Even, Wang Jiang can be like a fish in water in Guangdong, which has Chen Kai's trust and his repayment for Chen Kai's life-saving grace, but more importantly, the Chaozhou civil affairs presided over by Chen Kai, and even the Zheng Group, which has changed due to Chen Kai's intake, are also on a sustainable development path, rather than the gambler's style of exhausting the people's power and fighting to the death with the Qing court.

The glory of the Ming army in Dalanshan is the belief of the gentry who resisted the Qing Dynasty in eastern Zhejiang, and there are many accounts of the later history of the Eastern Zhejiang Dynasty on the resistance of the Qing Dynasty in Dalanshan. Yu Huang Zongxi and Shen Tiaolun, one is the son and daughter of the former leader, like-minded old friends, and the other is simply a member of the Ming Army of Dalan Mountain.

The Ming army had already occupied Zhoushan, and even with Zhang Hongde anyway, they just felt that time was running out, so Shen Tiaolun and Huang Zongxi immediately took action.

Their attack is to rebuild the Dalanshan Ming Army, so the first thing to do is to reunite the people scattered in the Dalanshan Ming Army. Of course, the pawns are not necessary, but the generals who led the troops at that time, the officials who managed the old battalion and civil affairs, these people are all familiar with the operation of the Ming army in Dalanshan, and it is natural to get the cooperation of these people to get twice the result with half the effort.

Since this was the case, Shen Tiaolun began to try to contact other characters in Dalanshan. On Huang Zongxi's side, his current advantage lies in his many years of contact with anti-Qing people, and he has more or less contacts with many scholars in eastern Zhejiang who are interested in resisting the Qing Dynasty. It was up to him to contact some gentry, so that he could strengthen the strength of the future Dalanshan Ming army more quickly.

Although the division of labor is different, the power is still in one place. Relying on Shen Tiaolun's inherent relationship and Huang Zongxi's visits over the years, Shen Tiaolun quickly found Zou Xiaonan, a scholar who had praised military affairs and managed general affairs under Wang Yi under Wang Yi before, and Mao Mingshan, the governor of the Ming army in Dalanshan. These two people are considered to be one writer and one martial arts, and the configuration is not bad, especially Mao Mingshan is known for his martial arts, and he was also a well-known fierce general in the Simingshan area, but in the former Dalanshan Ming Army, they are not the most outstanding figures. This comparison before and after, in the words of later generations, is a low allocation, and it is also a low allocation when the core is no longer there.

"Huang Dudu was martyred, Liu Dudu also became ill with grief a few years ago, and died of illness, and even Liu Dudu's righteous son, General Chen, died in battle four years ago. As for the others, they can't be found yet. The friends who used to create brilliance together are scattered, and the most inevitable thing for Shen Tiaolun is the word sentimentality: "It's a pity that Wang Vice Xian is still in Guangdong, if he is still in Zhejiang, he will definitely come to participate in the grand event!" ”

Wang Jiang, that is no longer something to count on, not to mention the good things in Guangdong, only to say that these thousands of miles, even if you know and really want to come over, it is absolutely impossible to arrive. It's just that the death of former friends, the disappearance of disappearances, and the disappearance of people living all over the world, loss is inevitable. However, Huang Zongxi has also had such emotions, and more than once. Compared with Shen Tiaolun, after all, he has a richer experience and is more slow.

"It's a great luck to be able to find Zou Xiaonan and Mao Mingshan, when Wang Wanxun founded the Dalanshan Wang Division, from Wang Jiang to Erxu, and then to others, they didn't gather a little bit. As long as we do things, talents will always gather, and we will live up to the efforts of the honor. ”

"Vice Huang is reasonable."

After persuading Shen Tiaolun, Huang Zongxi was also contacting the gentry while waiting for news from his younger brother Huang Zongyan. Speaking of which, Huang Zongyan also participated in the anti-Qing movement in the Siming Mountain area, and did not enter the Ming Army of Dalanshan at that time, but worked under the account of Feng Jingdi, a friend of Wang Yi and Huang Zongxi, and later Siming Mountain fell, Feng Jingdi was captured and disgraced, Huang Zongyan was also caught by the Qing army at that time, and was pulled to behead, as a result, Huang Zongxi took his students Wan Sicheng, Wan Sitong, Wan Sida and others to rob the law field, and Huang Zongyan was fished out of the hands of the Qing court.

Huang Zongyan and his brother have been doing things in tandem to resist the Qing Dynasty all these years, and he had also gone to Jinhua on behalf of Qian Qianyi to persuade Ma Jinbao to do it anyway, but of course he failed to succeed, but he is also a person who is willing to take risks.

This time, the news of Huang Zongxi and others is that Huang Zongyan went to contact the Wanjia brothers. This Wanjia is a native of Yinxian County, Ningbo, the son of Wantai, a figure of Donglin Fushe, a total of eight people, and was called Wanjia Eight Dragons at the time. Wantai and Huang Zongxi both studied under Liu Zongzhou, and many of the Wanjia brothers also invested in Huang Zongxi's disciples. The two families were at loggerheads, and due to the urgency of time, they planned to reorganize their men and horses in Dalanshan before the next round of attacks by the Ming army, with Huang Zongxi in charge of Shaoxing Mansion and Huang Zongyan in charge of Ningbo Mansion.

The news must have to wait, even if the Wanjia brothers agreed on the spot, Huang Zongyan would need time to send the news over. Moreover, Huang Zongyan is not only a series of Wanjia brothers, there are also some gentry in Ningbo who want to be contacted, just like he is in Shaoxing Mansion.

Fortunately, with Shen Tiaolun, Zou Xiaonan and Mao Mingshan here, the resurgence can be further planned. The old camp on the side of Dalan Mountain, as well as the situation in the Siming Mountain area, they are also collecting as soon as possible for later use. And didn't wait long, Huang Zongyan also hurried over. It's just that this time, Huang Zongyan came and came, but what he brought was not good news.

"The brothers of the Wan family refuse to participate in the grand event?"

With Huang Zongxi's understanding of the Wanjia brothers, this is simply impossible. Sure enough, Huang Zongyan shook his head at this, saying that he and the Wanjia brothers had already agreed, if it weren't for the fear of startling the snake, those guys were afraid that they would have come to join Huang Zongxi a long time ago, and it was impossible not to participate in it.

"Brother, look at this letter."

The letter was taken out of Huang Zongyan's arms, and the envelope did not indicate the person who sent the letter, but when he opened the envelope and saw the contents of the letter, Huang Zongxi immediately frowned, and his attention was that Huang Zongyan had only seen it in the past two years.

"Let's go, let's go see Shen Tiaolun."

After reading it a few times, Huang Zongxi put down the letter, and after thinking for a long time, he said such a sentence. Huang Zongyan knows very well that his brother is stubborn, not only very assertive, but also has the determination and ability to put ideas into action. In this case, he probably figured it out, so he didn't say a word, and directly followed Huang Zongxi to Shen Tiaolun.

Shen Tiaolun was there, Zou Xiaonan and Mao Mingshan were there. They all fought against the Qing Dynasty in Siming Mountain, and even if they were not familiar with each other, they all took care of each other, and without too much greetings, Huang Zongxi took out the letter and handed it over to Shen Tiaolun.

The letter was written by Wang Jiang. The content is that Wang Jiang recounted Chen Kai's words and advised them not to act rashly for the time being after the Ming army recovered Zhoushan. After reading the letter, Shen Tiaolun casually passed the letter to Zou Xiaonan and Mao Mingshan, and immediately took out another letter from the case and handed it over to Huang Zongxi.

"The one who arrived a few days ago was also a handwritten letter from Wang Vice Xian. Uncle Jia didn't like to fight hard with Tartar outside, so the brother who got the letter first in the old house also hesitated for a few days before deciding to send the letter to Uncle Jia first. As a result, the content is still the same as Uncle Jia's thoughts. I'm not afraid of Tai Chong and Hao Mu's jokes, if it weren't for Tai Chong who also received such a letter, I would have suspected that it was my uncle's strategy. ”

The contents of Wang Jiang's letters to Huang Zongxi and to Shen Tiaolun are similar. Datong was in opposition and immediately responded with troops, Xiaoyi was different in their respective words, and even Huang Zongxi soon found out that in Wang Jiang's letter to Shen Tiaolun, Chen Kai actually guessed that Shen Tiaolun would rebuild the Ming army in Dalanshan.

"This is probably the person that the eldest uncle and Chen Jingcheng talked about."

"I think that's the case."

A moment later, Zou Xiaonan and Mao Mingshan also read the letters, both letters were placed on the desk, and the five pairs of eyes looked at each other, but they were speechless for a while in the study.

Chen Kai persuaded him in his letter, but the reason was very simple. According to Chen Kai, the current situation in Fujian and Guangdong is in ruins, and it will take time to restore people's livelihood. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for both Fujian and Zhejiang to carry out large-scale operations, let alone a decisive battle with the main force of the Qing army in eastern Zhejiang.

The scale of the fleet sent by the Ming army to Zhoushan this time was not small, but in fact it was a partial division, and Zheng Chenggong's mind was more about using the geographical location of Zhoushan to contain the Eight Banners Army stationed in Quzhou, so as to relieve the military pressure on Fujian. In this case, even if they jumped out, it was unlikely that the Ming army would take advantage of the situation to recover Ningshao, because then there would be a possibility of a decisive battle with the main force of the Qing army, and the Ming army in Zhoushan would be disadvantageous.

"I heard that the commander of the army this time is not Dingxi Hou and Zhang Cangshui, but Zhongzhen Bo Hongxu."

Hong Xu is the most trusted general under Zheng Chenggong, and is known for his loyalty to the elderly. He is more cautious in his actions and is not very willing to take risks. Huang Zongxi had heard Qian Qianyi say some of these things, and he had also seen Hong Xu when he went to Fujian last time, so he probably had such an impression. During this time, Huang Zongxi mentioned Hong Xu, and then mentioned another incident, which deepened this impression.

Lu Zhouming said that Zhang Cangshui mentioned that Zhang Hongde's house was a gift to Ningbo Fucheng. However, that Uncle Hong only brought Zhang Hongde and his subordinates to Zhoushan, but did not move Ningbo Fucheng. ”

This undoubtedly confirms Chen Kai's statement. According to Chen Kai's advice, it is hoped that they can continue to lurk in order to accumulate strength. Only when the Fujian side eased up and dispatched the main force to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, they could jump out and raise troops to resist the Qing army, so as to play a greater effect. Otherwise, it will only expose their potential power, which will not be beneficial to national affairs.

"We've been planning for a long time, could it be that the surname Chen's sentence is not enough, and we have to stop here?!"

Chen Kai's exhortation is reasonable, and there is actual evidence as evidence, the stakes are very high, and most people need to think about it. But at this moment, Mao Mingshan stood up and shouted loudly with everyone. Mao Mingshan is a military general, with a hot temper, and he is even more unwilling to put down the cause of rebuilding the Ming Army of Dalanshan. At this time, everyone was also hesitant, only Huang Zongxi raised his eyes again, but he obviously had made up his mind.

"What Chen Kai said is not unreasonable, but in my opinion, this matter is not so simple."
