Knowing Liu Neng's plan, Shi Kefa settled in Jiujiang with peace of mind. He knew that even if he was the first assistant, he couldn't do anything at this time, so he didn't move anything except for writing a letter to the imperial court, stating that he was pacifying the rebel army.

And at this moment, the imperial court has no time to pay attention to him, the outdated first assistant, in the hearts of the vast majority of courtiers, it is already a matter of time before Shi Kefa is deposed, it depends on when Chongzhen makes a formal holy decree. And now, Chongzhen and the imperial court are all focused on the return of King Qi to Beijing and the rebels in Zhejiang, and they don't care about him at all.

The holy decree of canonizing Kun Xing as the empress dowager has been issued to the world, and the holy decree ordering the king of Qi to lead troops to quell the rebellion is also on the way to the north. Will King Qi do what he is told? Will Zhejiang's rebels stop in Zhejiang? Everyone is worried.

In Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Qian Fenglin and Zuo Maodi sat opposite each other, looking at the Di Bao in front of them and smiling.

"Congratulations Lord Qian, your goal has finally been achieved, the King of Qi has returned to Beijing, the princess is the crown princess, and Your Majesty has completely compromised!" Zuo Maodi said to Qian Fenglin.

Qian Fenglin smiled and shook his head: "The goal has reached most of it, and it has not been completely completed!" ”

Zuo Maodi was surprised and asked, "What else?" ”

Qian Fenglin said: "Among the provinces in the world, Zhejiang and Jiangdong are the richest, and the gentry in these two places are also the most powerful. At present, in the name of the rebels, I am only dealing with the gentry of Zhejiang, but the gentry of Jiangdong are intact, how can I say that it is done? ”

"You, do you still want to attack the four provinces of Jiangdong?" Zuo Maodi asked in surprise.

Qian Fenglin nodded as a matter of course: "This is natural, Su Song's wealth is in the world, and a quarter of the Ming Dynasty's taxes come from Su Song." And Suzhou alone pays more taxes than the whole of Zhejiang. If I don't plunder such a rich land, how can I be willing? ”

Zuo Maodi couldn't help but persuade: "Brother Fenglin, since Your Majesty has decreed that the princess be the crown princess, our goal has been achieved, and the officials of the Donglin Party have also expressed their submission, in this case, what's the harm in letting them live?" Could it be that we really want to offend the gentry of the world?

Brother Fenglin, if the troops really enter Suzhou, I am afraid that the Donglin Party led by Qian Qianyi will really fight with us, which is not conducive to the great cause of King Qi! ”

Qian Fenglin said: "How can I not know what Lord Zuo said, the safest thing is, of course, to stop the army in Zhejiang." However, what we are trying to do is not as simple as King Qi taking power, but to completely destroy the foundation of the gentry and cancel the privileges of the gentry. If you don't take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do this, I'm afraid there will be even greater resistance to implementation in the future!

Breaking and standing is the simplest, and painting on white paper can be free. Now the general trend is on me, even if we enter Suzhou, what can Qian Qianyi and the others do? Could he still stop the princess from supervising the country and preventing the king of Qi from returning to Beijing?

Donglin Party members like Qian Qianyi have always been boastful, even if the King of Qi does great things, he can't use such a person, even if he offends Guangguang, what can he do? ”

Seeing that Qian Fenglin was so determined, Zuo Maodi knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only sigh.

"Brother Fenglin, I know I can't change you, but there is one more thing you have to know, at present, the troops in Zhejiang are stationed in various prefectures, and I am afraid that it will be too late to transfer them back in a hurry, there are still tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Jiangdong, there are still 50,000 or 60,000 Jiangbei troops in Yangzhou, Jiangbei, and more than 100,000 troops in Nanjing, can we take Jiangdong with only the more than 20,000 troops we have in our hands now?" Zuo Maodi reminded.

Qian Fenglin laughed: "So that Lord Zuo will know that as early as half a month ago, I have sent someone to Fujian to send a letter to Wang Hengshan, asking him to lead the troops back, maybe in a few days, Wang Yin will arrive in Hangzhou with 30,000 troops." At that time, we will gather 50,000 troops, all of them are real elite soldiers, that is, the imperial court dares to send troops to meet the battle, what is the problem for us to defeat them? ”

"So you had a plan." Zuo Maodi sighed and said no more.

Two days later, Wang Yin returned from Fujian with 30,000 troops on hundreds of seagoing ships, and the fleet went ashore in Hangzhou Bay, and Qian Fenglin personally went to the beach to meet him.

"Hengshan Gong, can the arrangements be made over there in Fujian?" After the greetings, Qian Fenglin asked.

"Rest assured, the adaptation of the Fujian Navy Division has been basically completed, and the generals under Zheng Zhilong have also surrendered to us, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Cai, Zheng Lian and others have been escorted to the Dayuan, and now Fujian is completely ours." Wang Yin said with a smile.

Qian Fenglin nodded: "I am naturally relieved to do things in Hengshan. To attack Jiangdong in the name of the rebels, we can only use our own people, and the Fujian soldiers will not be able to be trusted soon after they return to Shun, so I am worried that if our troops are transferred back, there will be a recurrence on the Fujian side. ”

Wang Yin said: "The people of the Zheng family have been arrested by us, how can Fujian repeat it?" Soon the King of Qi will be in charge of the world, and the identity of the rebels is about to be whitewashed, if the generals under Zheng Zhilong are not stupid, they will naturally know the general trend, and they can only bring about their own destruction! ”

Qian Fenglin smiled: "That's because I'm too worried. Also, who dares to make trouble at this time, afraid of the unhappiness of death? ”

"Hahaha" The two looked at each other and smiled, both feeling full of ambition.

After the 30,000 troops went ashore, they changed their clothes on the spot, put away the original flag, and raised the banner of the rebels, and immediately became rebels.

After two days of repairs in Hangzhou, Wang Yin took the command and began to march to the north. After Huzhou and Chen Mo's 20,000 troops met, the 50,000 army immediately marched along the canal to Suzhou.

The sudden arrival of 50,000 rebels was completely unexpected by the Suzhou locality. The imperial court has appointed the princess as the crown princess, and the old Qian Ge and the officials from Jiangdong in the court all believe that the rebels will not attack Jiangdong again, and some of the gentry who escaped some time ago have begun to return to their hometowns.

Everyone thought that there would be no more fighting, and they all thought that peace was coming, but they did not expect the rebels to attack blatantly.

There were more than 10,000 troops guarding Suzhou Prefecture, and when the rebels attacked the city in Zhejiang, the army in Suzhou was like a great enemy. Recently, with the relaxation of the government, this army has also relaxed.

Therefore, there was little vigilance against the rebel attack.

Chen Mo led the vanguard army to advance wildly, all the way to the city of Suzhou, the defenders of Suzhou did not dare to resist head-on, and shrank in the city trembling.

As Wang Yin led the fleet back, more than a dozen red-coated cannons on the ship were also unloaded from the ship and transported with the army through the waterway.

When more than a dozen red-coated cannons opened fire fiercely at the city walls of Suzhou, the morale of the defenders of Suzhou completely collapsed. As soon as Chen Mo sent people to persuade him to surrender, the defenders opened the city gate and let the rebels enter.

The city of Suzhou was easily captured. Next, Wang Yin sat in Suzhou, and Chen Mo led his troops to attack Songjiang Mansion.

The rebels' brazen attack quickly spread to the imperial court, which immediately caused another great earthquake in the imperial court.
