Chapter 248: Zheng Hongkui's Critical Situation, Strike
The intelligence was sent to Jinhua Mansion in an expedited manner of 500 miles, but it took a little more than two days.
Zhu Dadian first received this information, because now he has a lot of power, not only to replace Zhang Huangyan, who is still helping King Lu outside, Zhang Mingzhen to train the troops Jinhua Righteous Army Governor's Office Quartermaster Mi Lin's military supply work, but also manage the garrison of the entire Jinhua Righteous Army's garrison capital, control all the local garrison troops of the Jinhua Righteous Army, and at the same time manage the entire Jinhua Righteous Army's Grain Bureau, responsible for the entire Jinhua Righteous Army's grain procurement and grain exchange business for Jinhua Yuan, And he also served as the secretary of the Jinhua Volunteer Army.
It can be said that he has become a collection of Zhu Dayou, quartermaster Mi Lin, the garrison managed by Zhou Congee in the past is also managed by him, so he also integrates part of the work of Zhou Congee, and at the same time he is also responsible for the management of Zhu Mansion, that is, the Governor's Mansion, the Governor's Mansion was originally his mansion, after Zhang Qiang took over, it expanded a lot, rebuilt the Zhu Mansion, and renamed the Governor's Mansion.
He has almost become Zhang Qiang's new big butler now, an administrative big butler, of course he can't serve Zhang Qiang as close as Zhu Dayou.
Originally, Zhang Qiang wanted to transfer You Haibo back and serve as the official position of the Governor's Office, which is equivalent to the cabinet, center, center, and court of the feudal dynasty, but now Zhang Qiang has a large number of generals in his hands, and there are very few people who can serve as central officials. Talent is limited.
Zhang Qiang's middle-level official positions are all the family members and the leaders of the rebel army who started with him, their influence is there, but the actual work ability still needs to be improved, and there is only one You Haibo and He Jin, Chen Hanhui, and ups and downs all their lives, and now they are honestly guarding the Quzhou Mansion Liu Liangzuo can be mentioned, but their talents and the closeness of their relationship with Zhang Qiang, as well as their abilities, as well as Zhang Qiang's lack of confidence in their own control, they cannot be mentioned to the center, the governor's palace as senior officials.
Those big names in the Qing army are not vegetarians, if the old Ming Dynasty officials are appointed, they will give you a counter-plan every minute, a discord, a rebellion, or a high-level spy to come out, then their own court is not the same as the Ming army court of Yongli, Longwu, Lu Jianguo and others?
Everyone kept fighting all day long, in order to compete for favor and for their own interests, they betrayed the interests of the entire Jinhua Righteous Army.
When the time comes, they will end up with the same fate as Chongzhen, "the king is not the king of the dead country, the ministers are the ministers of the dead country" When the time comes, they will be unlucky alone, they will turn their heads and vote for the Ming Lord, and continue their glory and wealth.
Therefore, the attitude towards the use of Zhang Qiang, an official of the Ming Dynasty, was very cautious.
I would rather use my own henchmen, young people whose abilities from the previous beginnings still need to be honed, to be their central officials.
Zhu Dadian himself repeatedly confirmed, and also used the system, so that his loyalty increased, so that he could use it with confidence.
Of course, his nature can't be changed, and he already has a large stack of materials collected by the captain of the Baghyalu guards in his hand Zhu Dadian who accepted bribes and was greedy for money during this period, and Zhang Qiang just put it on hold, and when the time comes, it will be enough to knock it out.
When Zhu Dadian personally sent the information over, Zhang Qiang was washing, and now he is in a high position, Zhang Qiang is not as diligent as he just crossed, martial arts are still practiced, but not as urgent as before, at present, there are more than 500 guards around him, all of whom have been trained by the fire of war and have received training in the protection of important people, they are all soldiers of the guards, and the captain is Bagyalu, the captain who temporarily took over when the Dutch assassinated him.
Wiping his mouth with a towel, Zhang Qiang rubbed his sleepy eyes, feeling that his spirit was not very good, he reached out and took the information sent by Zhu Dadian handed over by Baghyalu, and opened it.
After a few glances, he threw his hand aside, and said to Zhu Dadian, who was bowing and waiting: "Sit down, what do you think?" ”
Zhu Dadian sat down cautiously and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency the Governor, the lower officials think that we have to be prepared, Zheng Hongkui may be persuaded by Shi Fu, after all, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui are the original eighteen Zhi brothers, they have been dating for decades and worked hard together, Zheng Hongkui is Zheng Zhilong's fellow brother, Zheng Zhilong's support, he is today, and now the news from Huang Tao that Zheng Zhilong is not having a good time in the Qing court, and he will definitely use this to impress Zheng Hongkui." ”
He stopped, took a sip of the teacup, pursed his lips, and a few drops of crystal water stains remained on his mustache, unaware, and continued: "Xia Guan thinks that if it were the past, Zheng Hongkui would still have some national righteousness, and he would also support the Longwu court, as long as Longwu did not fall for a day, he would oppose the Manchu Tartars for a day, but the current situation. ”
Zhang Qiang nodded slightly, he knew what Zhu Dadian said, now the Jinhua Righteous Army is no longer the original Jinhua Righteous Army, and the Jinhua Righteous Army is shining brightly on the southeast coast, like the sun is in the sky, powerful, and even a little aggressive.
No one can defeat the Jinhua Righteous Army, the Qing army several tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Jinhua Righteous Army were defeated, and even twice the main general was killed, tens of thousands of people were captured, recently, the Jinhua Righteous Army made a force, just made the Longwu court panicked, frightened inexplicably, angry Ruan Jie and supported Ruan Jie's Horqin Mongols, Khalkha Mongols, and even the Qing army Han Army Banner was easily defeated by the Jinhua Righteous Army, Ruan Jie was captured, and then beheaded by the Longwu court.
It can be said that the shock and losses brought by the Jinhua Righteous Army to the nearby Qing army, as well as the momentum that has become too big.
I believe that now the Qing court has heard of the strong rise of the Jinhua Righteous Army led by Zhang Qiang, and they are eager to immediately send a large army to attack the Jinhua Righteous Army and concentrate their forces to exterminate the Jinhua Righteous Army, but they have no strength.
The Ming rebel army was full of smoke, and the army dragged them back anyway, and they made a policy of "keeping their heads without hair, leaving their hair without leaving their heads" made them fight fires everywhere, press the gourd, and float the scoop, which had just been pacified here, and came out there.
And there are two stubborn resistance of Yongli and Longwu in the former Ming Dynasty, of course, they want to exterminate these two scourges with great influence in the entire Ming Dynasty, as long as these people have a name, any down-and-out person can pull up a team of thousands, tens of thousands, in one place.
Compared with the concentration of the Jinhua Righteous Army, the influence mainly covers the military power in the southeast, they still focus on these two forces, and then the same influential Lu Jian State forces, and then the Qing Dynasty's regime is not united, they also have internal contradictions, and there are also struggles for power and profit, which is finally the turn of the Jinhua Righteous Army, so they now have no strength to attack the Jinhua Righteous Army.
The Mongol move arranged by Zhang Qiang a few months ago has already worked, the Manchu army of the Qing army has been transferred to the steppe, and the Horqin Mongol army has also been transferred back to a part because of the rise of the Chahar Mongols.
This greatly weakened their strength and influence in the south, without the bullet pressure of these Manchu troops, the Han army flag was better, after all, most of them had lived in Liaodong for more than ten years, had families and inseparable people, and their loyalty was not bad.
A large number of surrendered Ming troops and Dashun troops, generals, as long as you are a little relaxed, that can be at your mercy, one is not good, immediately anyway, take refuge in the Yongli court, or He Tengjiao, or other swinging two foreign governors and governors of the Southern Ming Dynasty, so the Qing army is much more difficult than the Qing army in history.
This is all because of the rise and disruption of the Jinhua Righteous Army.
For Zhang Qiang, who has seen many powerful countries and small countries in later generations, and big countries face the conspiracy and subversion of small countries, it is simply easy to play this trick. A small move made the Qing army anxious and overwhelmed.
Now that the Qing army has sent people to divide and disintegrate Zheng Hongkui, Zhang Qiang sneered in his heart, just a Zheng Hongkui, don't you know that our Great America still has a trick, if it's not right, I'll go down in person, clean up the people, pat the ass and leave, leaving the mess for you to clean up.
However, Zhang Qiang's development strategy is the coast, so he does not want Zheng Hongkui to fall to the Qing army, since he wants to fight, he must fight down to expand his territory, and encircle the coast, and the interests of maritime trade are his own.
Then push the Longwu Dynasty to Jiangxi and Guangxi, own Fujian and Zhejiang Provinces, and take care of Guangzhou Prefecture, and let them play with Nanming and those rebel armies and rebel armies on their own.
As for Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Hongkui, you guys are dying by yourself, which just gives me a reason to clean them up.
"Well, I know, you go and call Wei Wuji over, I'll talk to him, you can continue to busy your work." Zhang Qiang said.
"Yes, the next official will retire." Zhu Dadian still bowed his head and retreated to the gate first, and then turned around and went out.
That respectfulness made Zhang Qiang funny, but he didn't plan to remind and change, as a feudal dynasty era, it's not good for you to change.
Just as the Great Soviet could not accept the so-called freedom of Great America, so Great America could not accept the paternalism of the so-called Great Soviet.
After a while, Wei Wuji came in, he was much more casual than Zhu Dadian, called the Governor, and then directly lifted the teapot on the table and drank it from the teapot spout.
Zhang Qiang didn't stop him, nor did he scold him, they were all his own brothers, if they all became the emperor's kind of hiding in the imperial city all day long, so that the courtiers didn't dare to tell you the truth, and didn't dare to get close to him at will, it was not the result that Zhang Qiang wanted.
"Zheng Hongkui is disobedient and wants to surrender to the Qing army, you take the 1st Field Brigade, the 2nd Field Brigade, and the newly formed 8th Field Brigade to put pressure on him, if the pressure fails, just do it directly, don't give him any justification and discussion, since he can't make up his mind, let's help him." Zhang Qiang said directly to Wei Wuji.
"So who's going to do my reorganization?" Wei Wuji asked.
Zhang Qiang looked at him, Wei Wuji immediately smiled and gave a salute, "Weichen will do it immediately." ”
