Chapter 9 in Jiangxi (4)

"Can't leave your homeland?"

"This is only one reason, my Jiangxi Wang Shi has been fighting for several years, and now I have decided to raise troops in Tuntian here, thinking that it is a long-term solution. This law has just begun to be implemented, how can it be changed overnight? Wei Yuanhou's kindness, I have waited for it. Please Governor Chen to convey our apologies on our behalf, there will always be a chance to fight together in the future. ”

"Since that's the case, then the lower official will leave."

"Isn't Governor Chen staying longer? There are still many things that need to be consulted by this official and Zhuxun Town. ”

"This, hey, I forgive the official for having important matters, and it will be a long time to come."

"Well, it's a long time coming."

Driving high and going low, Jie Chongxi made a choice on behalf of the Jiangxi Ming Army, and Chen Kai did not continue to persuade again. The attitude of both sides was very neat, Chen Kai learned about the river trend of Guangxin Mansion from Jie Chongxi, and then left, without the slightest regret or the meaning of dragging mud and water, it seems that this trip is just a casual one, nothing more.

Sent a guide to lead the way, and watched Chen Kai leave the governor's yamen, Jie Chongxi retracted his gaze, looked at everyone around him, and then couldn't help sighing.

Personally, he was impressed, he had been a magistrate in Fujian and knew the situation there very well. Whether it is the mountainous area that facilitates the maneuvering between the righteous army and the Qing army, or the huge influence of the sea power on a province of Fujian, not even saying anything else, only that there are multiple retreats, and the mountainous area at the junction of these two provinces can be used to maneuver, which is enough to make him excited.

However, from Fu Dingquan, to Cao Dahao, to Hong Guoyu, who sent Chen Kai here, everyone was opposed to this. There are many reasons for this, but in the end, it is out of distrust.

"Zhu Chenggong, that's a guy who can even do it to his own brothers in order to fight for power and profit. Hehe, this invitation to us to Fujian, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. ”

"In my opinion, this is the second Li Chengdong, I absolutely can't believe it!"

Jin Shenghuan was besieged by the Qing army in Nanchang, and Li Chengdong went north to relieve the siege. As a result, the Qing army was not doing much, but Li Chengdong sent troops to attack Jie Chongxi's army first, if it were not for the desperate protection of the four battalions of Yan Luo and the breakthrough interception, I am afraid that there would be no existence of this Jiangxi governor.

With this past incident as a foundation, it is not easy to cooperate with the battle. At this moment, even if they don't talk about Zheng Chenggong, even if it is Chen Kai, they are hesitating whether they will be sold like Du Yonghe, it is nothing more than Zhang Yue, Li Jianjie, Li Yuantai and Li Yuanyin behind them did not attack the DPRK to the death, the two sides seem to be cooperating, or if it weren't for the fact that they didn't know that Chen Kai even dared to kill Zheng Zhiguan, I was afraid that this time he might not be able to enter the Jianghushan camp.

On the road, although he did not make any retrieval actions for the rejection of this plan, Chen Kai was not without reverie. In fact, it's not just him, Kuang Lu, Daozong and even Cai Qiao, who accompanied him, are all like this, on the one hand, Chen Kai is planning to act, and he can always calculate the benefits and disadvantages clearly, and there are very few misses, on the other hand, he does not understand Chen Kai's miss, which quickly turned into a question about the Jiangxi Ming Army.

"Joining the army, I don't know if I should have more such words, these Jiangxi people can't trust us at all."

"It's normal to believe, after entering Fujian, who has the final say or two things, they have to leave a way out for their own family."

Cai Qiao's opinion, Chen Kai has not yet expressed his position, but Kuang Lu is rarely snarky. He is accustomed to seeing the struggle for power and profit between the DPRK and China, not even the DPRK and China, just the city guard of Guangzhou, the guards surrounding this city, among which you fight for me is enough to make people speechless, but now it is also "reasonable".

Kuang Lu didn't know much about the past, and Chen Kai didn't have any impression of it, after all, the existence of the Ming Army in Jiangxi was low, and the articles written in detail in later generations were far less than those for Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo, or even Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, Li Chengdong, Jin Shenghuan, and even Kui Dongmingjun and Lu Jianguo.

It's just that at this moment, although he doesn't know about this past, Chen Kai still sighs. It seemed to him that perhaps the gentleman who painted the scarf in Dai Mingshi's pen was in that camp, and even passed by him yesterday or today. But it's a pity that all he can do is those butterfly effects, maybe one day in the future, that Confucian student will still paint a net towel on his head, in order to show the world his love and reluctance for the Han family's clothing and civilization.

With this in mind, Chen Kai and his party continued to go north. Their goal was a river called Xuxi, and they took a boat to the county seat of Guixi, where it turned into the Xiangxi, Jinjiang, and Longdong rivers and went straight to Poyang Lake.

Along the way, Cai Qiao was hesitant to continue north, and in his opinion, since it was no longer possible, it was better to return to Xiamen as soon as possible. With Chen Kai's talent and Zheng Chenggong's trust, he can play a greater role there, instead of moving forward aimlessly here. However, Chen Kai's will was resolute, and Cai Qiao couldn't move, so he had to take his subordinates to follow and protect, and did his best to accuse a bodyguard. Of course, it is not without good fortune, that is, Chen Kai did not stay to help expose Chongxi and break away from the Zheng Group, which is also a good thing.

With a guide to lead the way, you can avoid taking a lot of unjust roads, and you don't need to cross the river by feeling the stones. Along the way, the villages that formed the village to protect themselves and the camp of the Ming army had a warrant to expose Chongxi, and they were all released. After two days of hard work, I finally found the river, but unfortunately there was no boat on the shore, but it was a difficult task.

"From this down the river, there is a fishing village not far away, in which all fish are fished. It doesn't take you very far to get there. ”

The guide's job is not over until he gets on the boat. Chen Kai and his party continued to move forward, and with the stream, they found important landmarks, and the rest of the road was relatively easy to find. As we walked all the way, in the evening, the small fishing village was found, but the boat was not, not even the boat, but even the people were gone.

Without stepping into it, Chen Kai could already smell the stench of decay. The next scene, the dilapidated village, the discarded debris, the broken doors and windows, the buzzing swarms of flies, and the headless corpses lying all over the village, just like Niujia Village four years ago, just changed from the mountains to the stream.

"In August, Yu Shang Sanqu, into Guangxin, the state and county, a city, but a few thatched huts, the rest are basil thorns, see the tears. After interrogating the elder, Gu Yan Bingxie repeated it. Jiangxi Shi Dafu, in response to Jin and Wang, was exhausted, and it was pitiful. As for Xinzhou, there are still more than dozens of people who stand and die, and the rural people are strong and half wear hair, and there are survivors among gentlemen and gentlemen, all of whom are hidden in the mountains and forests, and do not see the way, and the scribes and well-known ones do not take the exam. Ding Ge has been ten years, the recalcitrant people of Luoyi, still have the thoughts of the old master, and there is nothing in the world if they abandon the past. In short, the eternal festival is more than Jiangxi Luling and Guangxin. ”

The record of Zhang Dai at the time vividly depicts the wanton massacre of Guangxin Mansion by the three provincial capitals of the Qing army. Silently looking at everything in front of him, Chen Kai did not let Cai Qiao lead someone to bury the corpses, because he knew very well that he couldn't do such a thing at all - no matter how fast they buried, they couldn't kill as fast as the Qing army!

To continue to advance, there is not much that can be done, Chen Kai found a pen and paper, and described in detail some of the things he knew about the guard, and stayed up all night. On the second day, the group finally found a few hidden boats not far downstream, and then handed the letter to the guide, asking him to pass it on to Jie Chongxi, and then boarded the boat and went downstream.

"To draw Mr. Nettowel."

Chen Kai secretly thought about it in his heart, and he also knew very well that this was not just for the Mr. Painted Scarf who had never met, but also for the people who still adhered to the Han family's clothing and civilization in such a harsh environment, and also included the Jiangxi generals who misunderstood him and Zheng Chenggong.
