Chongzhen felt a sense of frustration in his heart, and this frustration was even worse than when the thieves attacked Beijing.

When the thieves attacked Beijing, the elite of the Ming army died at the hands of the Manchu and the thieves. The last elite was also defeated with Sun Chuanting's army, Chongzhen was indeed useless at that time, and the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was already extremely weak, and at that time Chongzhen's heart was more desperate than frustrated.

And now, it is clear that the Manchu has been expelled, and Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the two major thieves and thieves, has returned to the west since Chengdu, and there are only some remnants left. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty is in sight, there are many elite soldiers and strong generals. But at this time, Ai Nengqi, who had been exterminated, was resurrected, and swept the entire territory of Fujian in a short time, and Chongzhen, who was the head of a country, couldn't even figure out the truth of the matter!

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, and Chongzhen realized that he had such poor control over the place.

However, countless hardships forged Chongzhen's firm will, and this setback could not break him. He urgently summoned university scholars Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi to discuss countermeasures, trying to come up with a way to move back to the situation.

Qian Qianyi said: "Your Majesty, there is a royal history to impeach the southeast governor Zuo Maodi is properly handled, and the former governor Wang Yin cannot be relieved of his post in time, resulting in Wang Yin commanding the last troops of Fujian to support the army and self-respect. ”

Chongzhen said: "What does Shoufu think? ”

Shi Kefa clearly objected: "Your Majesty, Zuo Maodi's new official has taken office, and he hasn't even entered Fuzhou City, and Wang Yin has already taken people out to sea, and it seems that things can't be relied on on Zuo Maodi." And Zuo Maodi is still a soldier, if he is taken, who will be asked to clean up the situation in Fujian? ”

Qian Qianyi said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends one person who can clean up the chaos in Fujian and exterminate the Ainengqi bandit army." ”

Chongzhen's heart suddenly changed, could it be said that Qian Qianyi had also changed his position, and he actually wanted to recommend Chen Yue, the king of Qi, to return to his teacher?

Fujian was in turmoil, and the government and the opposition suggested that the king should lead the army back to the division to judge. But the matter of the rebels has not yet been clarified, how dare Chongzhen send Chen Yue back to Beijing?

If the back of the Ainengqi rebels is really Chen Yue's ghost, and he and the rebels cooperate with each other, the situation will be so bad that it will no longer be out of control.

As if he didn't see Chongzhen's gloomy face, Qian Qianyi continued: "Huguang Governor Du Yinxi is proficient in the art of war and strategy, and has made great contributions in pacifying the rebellion of the Western Thieves. ”

Chongzhen's expression relaxed suddenly, and Chongzhen, a person who blocked Yinxi, naturally knew that he was indeed a person who knew the art of war.

The minister also suggested that Zheng Sen, the governor of Xiangyang, could be transferred to the governor of Fujian, and lead the people of the headquarters to return to the command of Du Yinxi to suppress the rebellion of Ainengqi together.

Zheng Sen's father, Zheng Zhilong, is really under Ai Nengqi, and there is a deep hatred between Zheng Sen and Ai Nengqi. The Zheng family is deeply rooted in Fujian, and Zheng Sen serves as the governor of Fujian, which is of great significance to cleaning up the hearts of the people in Fujian and uniting the Fujian gentry to fight against Ai Nengqi. ”

Chongzhen's eyes lit up suddenly: "Qian Ge Lao said this very good! ”

Using Zheng Sen as the governor of Fujian is really a clever move. Zheng Sen's father, Zheng Zhilong, died at the hands of Ainengqi's rebels, Zheng Sen and Ainengqi have a deep enmity like the sea, and they will inevitably fight to the death against Ainengqi, and they don't need to be supervised by the imperial court at all. Moreover, using Zheng Sen also has the advantage of cleaning up Zheng Zhilong's former subordinates.

Now, Wang Yin has appeased Zheng Zhilong's remnants of the water division in the name of the imperial court, and the imperial court is afraid of forcing Wang Yin to rebel because of jealousy, and joins forces with the Ainengqi rebels, so although he knows that Wang Yin is not innocent, he does not dare to do anything to Wang Yin. In fact, the army in Wang Yin's hands is already the most powerful sailor in the Ming Dynasty, if Wang Yin openly rebels, the thousands of miles of coast of the Ming Dynasty will not be peaceful.

However, half of the troops in Wang Yin's hands are the rest of Zheng Zhilong, and if Zheng Sen is used, it is very likely that these sailors can be pulled back from Wang Yin's hands.

After Qian Qianyi's words were finished, even Shi Kefa had to glance at Qian Qianyi with admiration. In the current situation, Qian Qianyi's proposal is already the best way. Although Zuo Maodi is Shi Kefa's own person, Shi Kefa also knows that with Zuo Maodi's ability, he will not be able to pacify the Ainengqi rebels at all.

Chongzhen thought for a while and asked: "Du Yinxi and Zheng Sen can be transferred back, but Du Yinxi is commanding the western thieves who are besieging Sichuan, and Zheng Sen is fighting with the thieves in Shaanxi, if the two of them are transferred back, what about the war situation in Sichuan and Shaanxi?" ”

Qian Qianyi replied: "Your Majesty, there are three Gorges between Sichuan and Huguang, Yiling is firmly controlled by us, Zeng Ying, Gu Jincheng and other generals have captured Kuizhou, and they are fighting fiercely with the West Thieves in Chongqing Mansion, and there is no threat to Huguang at all, so it will not affect the transfer of Yinxi at all."

As for the thieves in Shaanxi, after Zheng Sen was transferred from Xiangyang, he could order Hao Shaoqi to retreat to Xiangyang, and at the same time send the subordinates of King Qi to Shaanxi to suppress the thieves. King Qi's subordinates have more than 200,000 troops, and it is not necessary to guard Liaoxi and Jizhou Xuanda, and the remaining troops can be dispatched to encircle and suppress the thieves. ”

Chongzhen finally nodded with satisfaction: "Great goodness!" ”

For Chongzhen, as long as Chen Yue is not transferred back to Beijing, everything is easy to say, in Qian Qianyi's strategy, all Chen Yue's subordinates will be sent to the battlefield to fight with the thief, and the thief will be used to involve Chen Yue's energy. Of course, there is no problem in pacifying the thieves with Chen Yue's troops, but after all, it takes a lot of time. And taking advantage of the time that Chen Yue fought with the Western Thieves, this side should be able to quell the Ainengqi Rebellion and recover Fujian.

As long as the south is stable and the imperial court has the army in the hands of Zheng Sen, Chen Yue will have no chance to make trouble, so he can only honestly listen to his orders to expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty.

So the matter was settled, and the cabinet immediately drafted an order, and after the celebrant put on the red seal, he sent someone to expedite 600 li and send it to Wuchang and Xiangyang as soon as possible.

Chongzhen was very satisfied with Qian Qianyi's performance, and immediately passed on the decree to promote Qian Qianyi from Dongge University Scholar to Wuyingdian University Scholar, and added the official title of Prince Taibao, Qian Qianyi became a first-class member, and was completely equivalent to the first assistant Shi Kefa in terms of official rank.

At the same time, Chongzhen was thinking about it, he had been thinking about a counterbalance in the past few years, trying to find someone who could counterbalance Chen Yue, but he never found it, so that Chen Yue's power was dominant.

If the rebellion in Fujian could be quelled by Du Yinxi and Zheng Sen this time, Chongzhen would order them to build a new army and form an army strong enough to counterbalance Chen Yue, the king of Qi.

It is not enough to have an army, but it is also necessary to actively encircle the people who lead the troops, Du Yinxi is a civilian official, there is no possibility of rebellion and rebellion, and the most important thing to encircle is Zheng Sen, who is actually a military general.

After thinking about it carefully, Chongzhen decided to give Zheng Sen the surname "Zhu".

"I give you the surname of the country, and I hope that you can put down the rebellion, succeed immediately, and live up to my trust. Well, Zhu Chenggong, don't forget my grace! In the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen muttered to himself.

On that day, the second decree to Zheng Sen was issued in an expedited manner of 600 li, which was a middle decree that brought Chongzhen's gift to Zheng Sen.

In Wuchang, after receiving the holy decree, Du Yinxi did not dare to delay at all, and immediately transferred troops from all over Changsha. In addition to the standard camp in Wuchang, Du Yinxi decided to lead 50,000 troops to Fujian.

Ten days later, after the army was assembled, they set out, and 50,000 troops floated down the river and headed for Nanjing, where they would first go to Zhejiang, and then from Xianxia Pass south to Fujian. Although this road is farther, it is the easiest to walk, and the places it passes through are all rich places in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to worry about food and salary supplies.

Xiangyang was a little farther away, and Zheng Sen received the holy decree two days later than Du Yinxi, but he received two letters in succession.

After receiving the holy decree of Chongzhen's surname, Zheng Sen was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"Your Majesty's kindness Zheng Sen, no, Zhu Chenggong is in mind, Zhu Chenggong will definitely fight on the battlefield and live up to His Majesty's trust!" Zheng Sen kowtowed again and again in the direction of Nanjing, and swore to the sky.

For Zheng Sen, these few days are like years. When the news of his father's death in Fujian reached Xiangyang, Zheng Sen couldn't believe his ears.

The Zheng family, which has been in business for more than ten years, can be said to be deeply rooted in Fujian, and it failed so quickly, which makes Zheng Sen believe.

However, it was a person sent by Zheng Zhibao who came to deliver the letter, with Zheng Zhibao's handwritten letter, and Zheng Sen couldn't help but believe it.

On the day he saw the letter, Zheng Sen fainted in pain and wept continuously after waking up.

In the letter, Zheng Zhibao told Zheng Sen about Zheng Zhilong's speculation before his death, the inside story of the Fujian Ainengqi rebellion, and told Zheng Sen his suspicions about Wang Yin and Qi Wang Chen Yue, which made Zheng Sen unbelievable.

Zheng Sen has always regarded Chen Yue, the king of Qi, as a hero, and he can't believe that Chen Yue would do such an insidious thing.

Is this really Chen Yue's conspiracy, or is it just his father's speculation? If it is Chen Yue's conspiracy, then the matter is really big. Since Chen Yue supported the rebels behind his back, he must have the ambition to usurp the throne, if Chen Yue rebelled, who else in this world could be an enemy? If Chen Yue rebelled and became the emperor, he would not be able to avenge his revenge in this life!

Zheng Sen was in Xiangyang, not too far from the north, and he knew that Yu Feng, Jin Xin, and other generals under Chen Yue, the king of Qi, were leading the army to fight against the thief Li Guo. If Chen Yue, the king of Qi, wants to rebel, where will he have the kung fu to deal with the thief?

Therefore, Zheng Sen was very skeptical of the content of the letter sent by Zheng Zhibao.

In any case, this has to be clarified. In any case, I have to avenge my father!

In the letter, Zheng Zhibao told Zheng Sen all about the crisis of the Zheng family in Fujian, and at that moment Zheng Sen was like an arrow, thinking about returning to Fujian, leading the rest of the Zheng family to fight against Ainengqi, avenging his father and reviving the Zheng family.

However, as the governor of Xiangyang, he has the responsibility of guarding the land, and he can't leave Xiangyang without the will of the imperial court, unless he doesn't mix in the Ming officialdom in the future.

Therefore, the holy decree from the imperial court was a timely rain for Zheng Sen, and Chongzhen's surname and name made Zheng Sen feel guilty.

Unlike pirates like Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Sen is a standard scholar, who received a formal Confucian education since he was a child, and worships Confucianism as his teacher. Therefore, Zheng Sen is a scholar of the Eight Classics, a disciple of a saint, and a teacher of heaven and earth.

Therefore, in another time and space, after Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, Zheng Sen blatantly broke with his father and raised the banner of the Ming Dynasty, not that Zheng Sen was ambitious, nor that Zheng Sen disregarded the lives of his relatives, but in his heart, the court was far more important than his father's relatives.

Therefore, after almost all the territory of the Ming Dynasty fell, only Dongfan Island, which was isolated overseas, still carried the banner of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, not to mention ability, no one can doubt Zheng Sen's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and he is worthy of the grace of Emperor Longwu to give him the surname. And now, Chongzhen's surname also makes Zheng Sen feel agitated.

Because he was like an arrow, Zheng Sen's movements were very fast, and he assembled the army in a short time, and he couldn't even wait for Hao Shaoqi to lead the troops to change the defense. Therefore, when Zheng Sen led his troops along the Han River to Hankou opposite Wuchang, Du Yinxi had not yet left Wuchang.

......

Beijing, after a few months of hard work, this tragically poisoned city has gradually gained popularity. Chen Yue, the king of Qi, was in Beijing, which became the center of the north.

In the study, Chen Yue looked at the information sent from the south. Although Liu Nengjin was dismissed from the post of commander of the Yiwei by Chongzhen, the intelligence system he established single-handedly did not fail, but it changed from open to dark.

What happened in the south would quickly spread to Beijing and report to Chen Yue. So Chen Yue was clear about what was happening in the south.

He didn't expect Qian Fenglin to be so bold and make a rebellion in the name of Ai Nengqi with the Eastern Fan Army pretending to be a Western thief. When Qian Fenglin returned to the south from Beijing a few months ago, Chen Yue did hand over the power of the Qi Dynasty in the south to Qian Fenglin, mainly considering that the south was too far away from the north and was not suitable for remote command.

However, after knowing this, Chen Yue did not speak, but acquiesced. At this point, many times there is no choice. Even if he himself doesn't want to, his subordinates will actively promote it.

After all, Chen Yue did not represent just himself, but the huge power of King Qi's family.

Perhaps, Qian Fenglin's strategy is the best choice!

Fujian rebellion, with the Dongfan Army as the backbone of the rebel army, I am afraid that the Ming army in Jiangnan will not be able to stop, after all, the strongest Jiangxi soldiers are their own subordinates, even if they can't follow the rebellion, they will not enter the battlefield of counterinsurgency.

Chen Yue could imagine the panic of the Nanjing court until he received the news that the Nanjing court had appointed Du Yinxi as the southeastern governor and transferred Zheng Sen from Xiangyang to Fujian.

I have to say that Chongzhen handled it very appropriately this time, and giving Zheng Senguo the surname is even more a stroke of genius.

Gu Yinxi and Zheng Sen were indeed the best candidates to quell the Fujian Rebellion.

What a pity! Your Majesty, although you have handled it appropriately, you still have not clarified the true situation. How could Qian Fenglin's methods be so easy to dissolve? Troops were transferred from Huguang and Xiangyang to Fujian for thousands of miles, and how could distant waters quench their thirst?

The corners of Chen Yue's mouth hooked up with a smile, as if he saw Qian Fenglin's fierce offensive!
