Chapter Seventy-Three: Discussion of the Direction of the Attack

After another three or four days, Zhang Qiang recruited all his subordinates back, and everyone gathered together to discuss major matters.

Jin Sheng wore the official uniform of the political envoy of the Ming Dynasty that he made, and although Zhang Qiang occupied only one mansion in Jinhua, he and the system had already regarded this mansion as their own territory.

At least he has raised himself to the height of a local government, not to mention that Zhang Qiang has also occupied a county in Quzhou Prefecture, and he can already claim to be a Taoist official, and Zhang Qiang hopes that Jin Sheng can play the role of a political envoy, not just the role of the prefect of a district, so Zhang Qiang awarded Jin Sheng the post of political envoy.

It's just that the official uniform is not embroidered with the corresponding patterns of birds and beasts of the corresponding official grade of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Qiang wears the military attache official uniform of the commander of the Ming Dynasty, nor does he embroider the corresponding pattern of the official position of the Ming Dynasty, which is where Zhang Qiang asked to distinguish the Ming officials.

Zhang Qiang sat on the chair in the upper part of the lobby, on the chair under the steps on the left side of Jin Sheng, Zhou Congee wore the official uniform of the same governor and sat on the chair below Jin Sheng, opposite Zhou Congee was Wei Wuji, wearing a thousand military attache mansions, Wei Wuji was Hu Kui below, and then below was Xuanyuan Longfei, Du Ge, Lin Yangsheng, He Jin, Mi Chun, Mi Lin and others, all of whom were Zhang Qiang's new interpretation of the official position of Wei Commander.

Everyone's faces were beaming, have they been promoted, think about a few months ago, they were still ordinary people, small people, family members, and even rogues, but now they have finally turned into regular officials and become official officials.

Although the group they serve is actually not legal in the entire Ming Dynasty, or it is not officially a legitimate group recognized by the DPRK, how can it be said that now that they occupy a place with a large number of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people, the Qing army has never come to harass them since Ruan Dacheng was defeated, and for more than a month, they are almost equivalent to a small kingdom.

Zhang Qiang said to Jin Sheng: "Can the official seals at all levels be engraved?" ”

Jin Sheng said: "Report to the lord, the seal has been carved, wait a while, let the next person present it,"

"Okay, the notice can be distributed to the counties?"

Jin Sheng: "I have sent officials to run to various counties, and now there are fifteen original Ming officials, as well as thirty-five scholars, all of whom are talented and famous, and are willing to come to work for us, I have recruited people for assessment, and when the assessment is completed, they can be awarded official seals and sent to office." ”

"We must let the localities resume production as soon as possible and stabilize the people."

"Lord Jin, now that everything is in ruins, you can hurry up, before the Qing army frees up their hands to deal with us, settle down Jinhua Mansion, and I will arrange for Zhu Dayou and Zhou Congee to hand over the previously seized materials, and you can also set up your team as soon as possible and let the entire government run."

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the lower officials will do their best to give your Excellency a stable and prosperous Jinhua Mansion."

Zhang Qiang looked at everyone, He Jin looked up at the sky, still outside his group, after fighting Ruan Dacheng, after he returned, he received Zhang Qiang's death order, with 1,200 soldiers, to attack Yongkang County, it took a week to take Yongkang County, and sent another 3,000 prisoners for Zhang Qiang, which made Zhang Qiang's hands have gone through several transfers of prisoners and more, still as high as 10,000 people, Zhang Qiang will no longer pursue him to be close to himself, anyway, what he does is beneficial to himself, and he is harmless, this is right.

Zhang Qiang held the armrests of the chair with both hands, stood up, and said loudly as he walked: "Our army has been resting for more than a month, the surrounding situation is changing, and the Qing army has no time to take care of us, but we can't sit here and wait, wait for the enemy to eliminate the opponent who is against them, and then gather forces to attack us, we should take the initiative to attack, everyone speak freely, say, which direction should we develop?" ”

Jin Sheng saw that no one was talking, and stood up, "My lord, the lower officer believes that our army should continue to rectify the soldiers and horses, restore the people's livelihood, and wait for next spring to send troops." ”

Zhang Qiang raised his hand, "No, time waits for no one, seeing that Li Chengdong's department has already defeated the Longwu Imperial Court, Li Chengdong's department has taken Yanping Mansion, Fuzhou Mansion, the next step is Quanzhou Mansion and Tingzhou Mansion, and Tingzhou Mansion is already in danger, if our army does not send troops and contains the Qing army, the Qing army will destroy the Longwu Imperial Court, in this case, we will face the attack from the east and west." ”

Zhou Congee said: "My lord, I think we should attack Shaoxing Mansion and take Shaoxing Mansion, so as to cut off the land contact between Taizhou Mansion and Ningbo Mansion and the Qing army, we can slowly develop here, take Ningbo Mansion and Taizhou Mansion, sit on the land of the four prefectures, back to the sea, and you can also do business by sea, obtain funds, food, support the development of our army, and at the same time have a way out." ”

Wei Wuji said in a deep voice: "Then why don't you just take Taizhou Mansion?" We can reach the beach immediately, although we can also face the sea if we take Shaoxing Mansion, but the problem is that Hangzhou Mansion is stationed with the main army of the Qing army, besides, Lu Jianguo is still at sea, if you take Shaoxing Mansion, is it to welcome back Lu Jianguo, so wouldn't it make a wedding dress for others?

If you don't welcome back the Lu Jian State, will you be subject to the jurisdiction of other imperial courts, and besides, if you take Shaoxing Mansion, we will suffer from the enemy, and it is far better to take Taizhou Mansion to stay away from the enemy's main army.

Although the prefecture, Wenzhou, and Fuzhou are also within the occupation of the Qing army, the enemy's army is limited, and their main task is to eliminate the Longwu court, which is more attractive than us, so I suggest taking the Taizhou mansion instead of taking the initiative to approach the enemy's main force and attack the Shaoxing mansion. ”

Zhang Qiang looked left and right, "What Master Wei said makes sense, okay, let's prepare according to this policy, everyone will go back to be vigilant, guard their respective jurisdictions, and train soldiers at the same time, and after a month, send troops to Taizhou Mansion." ”

In fact, Zhang Qiang's idea was to send troops to the state capital, and squeeze the living space of Li Chengdong's department, Li Chengdong's department occupied the state capital, Wenzhou Mansion, Funing Prefecture, Fuzhou Mansion, Yanping Mansion, and connected with Ji'an Mansion, Nanchang Mansion and other places, Zhang Qiang's purpose was to squeeze out this space, expand his territory at the same time, weaken the enemy, and give Longwu Nanming forces some living space, so that he would not fully face the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, and it would be difficult to support it alone.

But at the moment, the subordinates are right, they have to think about themselves and expand to the seaside, so as to avoid the desperate situation that if the Qing army blockades all sides, their territory falls into siege on all sides, they can't supply troops, and they can't escape.

By the sea, at least you can transport grain and grass with other forces through the sea, do trade, and gain support.

Straighten out the military system and the official system, personally grant official positions, have their own territory, and hold up a protective umbrella for Zhang Qiang's Jinhua territory, Zhang Qiang can train troops with peace of mind in this umbrella, and a month later, send troops to Taizhou.

After thousands of mountains and rivers, in the distant Yanping Mansion, Li Chengdong was also discussing Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Righteous Army with his subordinates, Li Chengdong knew Zhang Qiang's Righteous Army, after all, he fought with this Righteous Army in Jinhua Mansion City for more than a month and a half, nearly two months, originally he thought that Ruan Dacheng could solve the problem, but Ruan Dacheng asked Zhang Qiang's Righteous Army to solve it.

This can not but be said to be a reversal that makes people fall through the glasses, everyone knows that the Ming army fought field battles, that is, at least eight times out of ten battles, two times or God blessed, or the soldiers used their lives, barely able to win so one or two times.

Li Chengdong was determined to catch Emperor Longwu and pacify the Longwu Southern Ming Dynasty, and he must return to his division to clean up this Jinhua rebel army.

Now, he can only report the situation here to Bolo, and Bolo will report the matter to the regent Dolgon, Dolgon looks, will it soon be a small rebel army, although it is a little unexpected, but it is also within the controllable range, just a place, surrounded by Qing troops on all sides, where can you jump to, send fast horses to convey his orders to the Tong Yangjia army in Hangzhou, "Exterminate the Jinhua rebel army within a time limit." ”
