Chapter 108: Lay out the facts and be reasonable

Not long ago, Chen Kai received news that when he traveled to the southeast last year, the head of the 4th Battalion of Yama and the 9wloon battalion of the Qing army, which had been repelled by the Qing army, were annihilated by the Qing army in Shaozhou Mansion in Guangdong, and Luo Rong, the governor of the 5th Army, who had been promoted to the head of the 4th battalion of Yama, and Ning Wenlong, the commander of the Jiulong battalion, were not in the battle.

The suppression of the three provincial capitals of the Qing army was in name only, which was due to the fact that the Qing army in Fujian was strongly restrained by Zheng Chenggong. However, the Qing army in Southern Jiangxi was originally a few elite troops in Jiangxi, even if a lot of generals who could recruit and fight well were sent into Guangdong to cooperate with Shang Kexi to suppress the Ming army, the important position there, the Qing court also attached great importance to it. Therefore, when the Southern Jiangxi Qing army attacked in a big way, the head of the fourth battalion of Yan Luo and the Jiulong battalion could not retreat from the enemy, and even could not hold on, so they could only fight and leave, and move to other places. Little by little, under the encirclement and interception of the Qing army in Southern Jiangxi, it became farther and farther away from the main force of the Jiangxi Ming army in Guangxin Mansion, and finally was annihilated by the Qing army under the battle of thousands of miles.

Chen Kai didn't know whether all this happened earlier or later than in history, and it was also unclear whether they had a chance to go south to join the Fujian Ming army in southern Fujian and eastern Guangdong on the way to the west, but he knew very well that the destruction of the elite of the Jiangxi Ming army meant that the Jiangxi anti-Qing movement was about to fall into a new trough.

"Ma Jinbao ......"

Jinhua General Soldier Ma Jinbao, in history, should have been transferred by Chen Jin to relieve the siege of Zhangzhou after the Battle of Jiangdong Bridge, but was deceived into the city by Zheng Chenggong and became the same as the Zhangzhou defenders.

Probably because the Jiangxi Ming army was not solved for a long time so that the Qing court had to do so, and the rapid breakthrough of the Zhangzhou capital city also made him lose the opportunity to go in to be a turtle, according to the messenger at the same time brought back the letter of Jie Chongxi, the Jiangxi Ming army was very uncomfortable in the face of the fierce attack of the two elite of the southern green battalion of Jiangxi and Jinhua Zhenbiao, and had given up a lot of camps and checkpoints. Perhaps, even the main force of the Jiangxi Ming Army, which is still holding on to Tuntian in Guangxin Mansion, is afraid that the days are also running out.

Chen Kai didn't say much about the unfavorable situation of the Jiangxi Ming Army in Guangxin Mansion, but just reported the news of the destruction of the Fourth Battalion of Yan Luo and the Jiulong Battalion, and the Jiangxi scholars present were all like mourners. Even though most of them have never met these two marshals, the destruction of this elite unit of the Jiangxi Ming Army is still inevitably sad.

“…… The death of Luo Du Du and Ning Du Du on the battlefield is certainly a great loss to the imperial court, but because of this, we must inherit their legacy and work hard to recover Jiangxi and the homeland of the Han family! ”

What Chen Daotai said is that there have been too many victims, those who are the same year, classmates, those officials, marshals, and those Jiangxi fathers and villagers, they are all facing the brutal Tartars but have not retreated at all, and they are all willing to die and fight unyieldingly to the last moment. The army boss said that we are here to learn from Chen Daotai, and we must not be discouraged at this moment, but we must work hard to learn from Chen Daotai! ”

At this moment, the middle-aged Confucian student, the oldest in the group, raised his arms, and everyone was enthusiastic, and even directly bowed to Chen Kai.

The relationship between teachers and students was a big killer in ancient times, and most of the Donglin Party, Qi Party, Chu Party and the like all started like this. This is not only the relationship between teachers and students, but more importantly, they hope that they can learn more knowledge from Chen Kai for the restoration of Jiangxi Province by relying on the relationship between teachers and students. And this was also discussed by them early on the road.

A group of students, and even raising people to kneel down to worship a young boy, may sound ridiculous at first glance, but Chen Kai's reputation and ability are also rare among the civil officials of various dynasties since Jiashen. There is nothing to be ashamed of learning from such a talented person.

The middle-aged Confucian is a leader, Chen Kai just remembered that this person's surname is Zou Mingtong, and he is from Jishui, Jiangxi. Pan relatives, he is still close to the Zou family of Jishui Xiaodongmen, who has been the leader of the Donglin Party, Zou Yuanbiao, but this relative is far away and cannot be seen, and it is not necessarily easy to find a common ancestor if you can't figure out the genealogy of both sides.

However, it is undeniable that this man is indeed a smart man, and he knows exactly what to do and when. At this moment, Chen Kai took over this kindness and accepted these students, with the relationship between teachers and students, when they looked at Chen Kai again, the things in their eyes became very different from Fang Cai.

Next, Chen Kai began to tell the Jiangxi scholars present about the current situation, the Ming army in the southern Fujian battlefield to conquer the city, in the Guangdong battlefield also resisted the fierce attack of the Jingnan feudal soldiers; On the Zhejiang side, as he had predicted in front of Jie Chongxi, the Zhejiang Ming Army had almost been wiped out, and now it was attached to the banner of the Fujian Ming Army; As for the Jiangxi Ming Army, it was on the verge of annihilation.

“…… In Jiangxi, the situation of being outnumbered has never changed. The king can stick to Tuntian in Guangxin Mansion, which is a long-term way, but it is extremely difficult for the local king to break out of the encirclement. Not to mention, the most important strength of Wang Shi in Jiangxi is not the army and the many people accompanying the army, but the gentry and people scattered in various prefectures and counties, and the vast majority of them are devoted to Wang Shi. With their support, the movements of the captive master are clear to the king at a glance; The grain, grass, and weapons that the king lacked were also collected and transported by the gentry and common people from all over the country. Even at the risk of destroying the family and destroying the clan, he will not change his original intention, and this is what the people of Jiangxi are most worthy of our admiration! ”

Following the pride that these Jiangxi students are most proud of, everyone here is naturally more acceptable. With Chen Kai's eloquent talk, at the same time, Chen Kai asked the people present to tell some stories about their fellow gentry and common people fighting bravely against the Qing army or risking their lives to help the Ming army.

People are going to believe the answers they want to believe. When Chen Kai was in the workplace, he really didn't have too much contact with people's hearts. At this moment, some encouragement, excitement and even following their words can easily gain a deeper level of trust from these people. What I am going to talk about next, I believe they will be more acceptable.

However, the Tartars are not stupid, and there are many talented and unvirtuous scum in the court who give advice to the Tartars, they see clearly the reliance and advantages of the king, and more importantly, the original bloodthirsty and brutal nature of the Tartars, which makes them wantonly slaughter the gentry and people who are committed to the king's division everywhere, and even those who have never intersected with the king's master will not let go, just to hit the king's people's base in Jiangxi's prefectures and counties. Without people, everything is a dead thing, and the support that Wang Shi can get will become less and less, and the advantage that the Tartar already has will become greater and greater, until the day when Wang Shi is completely crushed. ”

At this point, many people were silently contemplative, many of them were painful, and many of them who had seen the tragic situation nodded directly, expressing their most direct agreement with Chen Kai's views.

Most of these are what Chen Kai has seen along the way, and there are also original memories, and the two are integrated into the "Jiangxi Anti-Qing Movement Investigation", and all his rhetoric at the moment has the most practical theoretical basis!

"Unless Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren come out again, with the current situation, Jiangxi relies more on the recovery of Wang Shi in neighboring provinces, and it is difficult to say whether Jiangxi's local Wang Shi can support that day. And as for the current deployment of the Tartars, Liu Guangbi, the governor of Jiangxi, Yang Jie, the chief soldier of Jiujiang, and Hu Yousheng, the general soldier of Southern Jiangxi, these three guys with heavy troops will ask which one of them will have the courage of Jin Shenghuan, and they are not all a group of Tartar dogs and horses? ”

"However, if Jiangxi wants to recover, it can only rely on the Wang Shi of the neighboring provinces, which is too passive. Therefore, I Chen Kai asked Governor Jie for Zhujun, hoping that Zhujun can learn relevant knowledge, return to their respective hometowns, and use this knowledge to gather more strength under the noses of the Tartars, and make more preparations for the future of Wang Shi and the future of Jiangxi. ”

"When everything is ready, if there is a great change in Jiangxi itself, the princes can use this power to stir up turbulent waves and overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Tartars in Jiangxi; If there is no great change in Jiangxi, the monarchs will continue to accumulate strength, waiting for the king of the neighboring provinces to enter, and then all the power will burst out, and the two sides will work hard to sweep away Jiangxi's bloody in one fell swoop! ”
