On the 10th day of July, Hong Chengchou, who had been ill for more than a month, had returned from the front line of Guangxin Mansion to the southeast Jingluo Yamen in Nanchang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After more than a month, he was indeed sick, and the battle report that shocked the world was also shown by the strong combat power of the Zhejiang Ming army that broke out of the cocoon, and it was also for his fate after this fiasco. However, later, the illness was cured, but pretending to be sick still had to be done, at least until the Manchu court disposed of. A few days ago, the disposal of the Manchu court also came down, and he left to return to Nanchang.

Compared with the shouting and shouting of the magnates in the Manchu court, Shunzhi did not embarrass Hong Chengchou, and did not even reprimand him, but handed over the plan of suppressing Chen Wen in Zhejiang and Zheng Chenggong in Fujian to Hong Chengchou.

Feeling the emperor's grace, Hong Chengchou also knows that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is very weak now. Especially in terms of talents, there is no one who can replace him, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to rely on the attacks of those powerful people who relied on the liquidation of Dolgon's resurrection, as well as the attacks of Liaodong Hanchen Ning Wanme, the leader of the Northern Party, Feng Quan, and others, who are now gaining power.

So far, Hong Chengchou is glad that even if the opponent he faces is so difficult, it is always better than being entangled in an inexplicable crime like Chen Mingxia, Chen Zhixuan and others in the Southern Party.

In the past month, although Hong Chengchou is sick in bed, his plan to suppress and appease has never stopped.

On the side of Guangxin Mansion, a fortress was used to stop the soldiers of the Ming army in Zhejiang, and listening to the Jesuit priest, it seemed that this fortress could not be forcibly captured head-on in Taixi. After all, it seems that his method of letting Tian Xiong experiment is more effective.

With the geographical environment of Jiangxi, the Ming army could not threaten the Poyang Lake area without Guangxinfu, and without Poyang Lake, it could not threaten the mouth of the lake and even the Yangtze River. Therefore, Hong Chengchou planned to build a fortress in Guangxin Mansion, so as to lock this area and block the road for the Ming army in Zhejiang to advance westward.

There is only so much here, and Yang Minggao and others in Fujian also lived up to the name of the general, and successfully defended the Xianxia Pass, so that the Zhejiang Ming army could not go south to Fujian. In Qingtian, Chuzhou, Hong Chengchou also planned to build a fortress to seal off the possibility of the Ming army in Zhejiang from gaining access to the sea from Wenzhou. As for Taizhou, the terrain there was not conducive to the attack of the army, and Ma Xin was also a general, so it was not good for the Ming army to attack rashly.

Northeast Jiangxi, northern Fujian and southeastern Zhejiang can only be like this for the time being, Hong Chengchou in the direction of Hangzhou is still ready to use the fortress and the Qiantang River, with today's increase in troops to curb the possibility of the Ming army in Zhejiang going north, and even Ning Shao is ready to use the fortress to limit the attack of the Ming army.

Sun Tzu said: Those who are good at fighting in the past are invincible first, and then they can be defeated by the enemy. You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy. Therefore he who fights well can be invincible, and he who cannot make the enemy invincible. Therefore, it is said: victory can be known, but not done.

Although the Qing army in the southeast is still strong, and the reinforcements drawn from the northern green battalion are already on the way, the Zhejiang Ming army has become famous in terms of tactics, and it is indeed not something that the ordinary green battalion can face.

At present, relying on the newly learned fortress, Hong Chengchou blocked the advance of the Zhejiang Ming army, so he was ready to use this defense system from Taixi to restrain the Zhejiang Ming army and seal this army in Jinquyan in southwest Zhejiang. It's just that Hong Chengchou knows very well that this is just a matter of delaying some more time, what should come will always come, and stubbornness is only a dead end, and he doesn't think about it at all.

However, the magnates in the Manchu court, especially those nobles who had participated in the bloody battle of the Hunhe led by Prince Zheng Jierharang, strongly opposed the mandarin duck formation of the Green Battalion.

Jin Li's fate has been placed in front of him, and in the report of the holy decree this time, Chen Jin's case has also been dusted - Chen Jin's responsibility for the defeat and loss of land is offset by the martyrdom of Quzhou after a month of stubborn defense, but the crime of vainly changing the military system is unavoidable, and the whole family sent Ningguta to the armored people as slaves, and the credit for so many years is only one death. Assisted Chen Jin in reorganizing the three staff members of the Governor's Battalion, Li Zhifang was imprisoned, Ji Zhenyi was exempted from fame and returned to his hometown to think about it behind closed doors, and only Zhu Zhixi was said to be exempted from responsibility because Shunzhi had a good impression of him.

Such a thunderous method can be seen in the resoluteness of the Manchu Qing in this regard. Now some people in the DPRK have begun to introduce the possibility of Chen Mingxia's fornication with Chen Wen to other Han officials, today it is Chen Zhixuan, and tomorrow it may be him Hong Chengchou. Even if he hadn't, he wasn't going to commit the taboo again.

Fortunately, from the time Jin Li wrote the book, he had already realized some moldy heads and made corresponding countermeasures. And now, it is just right to use it, and it is always necessary to know some details of the Zhejiang Ming army, especially the leader of this army, Chen Wen, and the tactics they used.

"Wang Dusi, these days of leisure, but what have you figured out?"

Standing in front of Hong Chengchou was Wang Sheng, before Hong Chengchou sent someone to send him to prison, but let him escape the turmoil, now seeing Hong Chengchou, Wang Sheng quickly knelt on the ground, a thousand thanks.

"Wang Dusi, the old man protects you for a while, because you know a lot more about Chen Wen than other civil and military affairs, tell me what you have remembered these days, the old man has just recovered from a serious illness and can't sit for a long time, but you have to explain things in detail, and you can't miss any details about Chen Wen."

Hong Chengchou didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and naturally he wouldn't believe that this traitor who had betrayed his benefactor would swear allegiance to the death. Seeing this, Wang Sheng had no choice but to put away his "nonsense", and told Hong Chengchou the details of his first encounter with Chen Wen on Siming Mountain, and even how Chen Wen got out and how he exchanged the corpses of Chen Wen's subordinates for that "treasure" did not dare to hide it.

"First he designed to get out, and then he dared to fight to the death in the face of everyone unarmed, and even tried to ask for help in the end. Wang Dusi, you forced Chen Wenrusi to get rid of him that day, but it was also the most embarrassing time for Chen Wen's house so far. Now that he has a heavy army, the Manchurian Eight Banners that the imperial court can rely on cannot go south for the time being, and can only rely on money, food, troops, and geographical advantages to limit it. ”

Hong Chengchou is by no means a good person, even a lonely and unheard little person like Wang Sheng knows it, and now when he asks each other, if there is no answer, I am afraid that without Hong Chengchou opening his mouth, the big inner guard standing on the side will pull him out and cut him down. Because it is useless, Hong Chengchou will not bear the burden for it.

But the mandarin duck array that he is best at, or copying the tactics of the Ming army in Zhejiang, can't say anything at all. Wang Sheng, who was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, knelt on the ground and thought for a long time, and even Wang 1's assistant minister, who was standing next to Hong Chengchou, was a little impatient before he heard Wang Sheng's not very confident answer.

"The treasure that the villain exchanged for from Chen Wen is said to be from Taixi. When the villain captured Wang Jiang in Taizhou before, he also heard that Yu Guowang, the puppet Xinchang Bo, had used Chen Wenshi's method of warfare from Taixi to compile a phalanx with teeth.

It is well known that Yu Guowang's department is weak in eastern Zhejiang, and its ability to gain a foothold in Tiantai Mountain is very advantageous because of its birds, but it has never won the wild wave war. However, with the phalanx, the Taizhou official army and the former Jinhua general Ma Jinbao were invincible, and finally moved down the artillery of the naval division to open the large array, but the southern line officers and troops led by Ma Jinbao could not set off in the north to encircle Zhoushan, so that the puppet king of Lu and the puppet Dingxi Hou and others fled to Fujian.

The villain thought that Chen Wenjiao must have reservations about Yu Guowang's method, and if the official army invited Taixi officers to teach it, he could use this method to train the soldiers, or he could compete with the mandarin duck array. ”

There was no way out, Wang Sheng had to come up with this method that was not a solution. At least in his opinion, if Hong Chengchou really has this intention, he is also the officer who is most familiar with the Ming Army in Zhejiang today, and assisting in training can save his life, and there is even hope to go further; Even if he doesn't have to do this, at least he hasn't done nothing, and it is also a way to use that treasure to bring out and introduce Taixi's sharp weapon, which is better than being considered useless by Hong Chengchou and being abandoned.

Quoting Taixi's tactics, this is not without precedent, Hong Chengchou remembers very well that Sun Yuanhua of the Chongzhen Dynasty once asked the Franc machine officer in Macao to teach the Hongyi cannon maneuver. Whether the infantry combat method is useful or not is not a matter of two questions, but it is always easier to pass than the Mandarin Duck Formation, which was regarded as a great disaster by the Manchu elites, if it is only said that it will be defeated by cavalry and shooting, but it has a miraculous effect on the Mandarin Duck Formation, it may be a way, at least it is better than doing nothing.

Thinking of this, although Hong Chengchou was still silent, he had already extinguished his mind of handing over this Wang Sheng to Dali Temple. But at this time, Wang Sheng and others still can't mention the front row, so it's better to let him go back to prison and stay in it.

After taking Wang Sheng away, Hong Chengchou sent someone to invite the Jesuit priest to meet, and in addition to the current Li Benshen's department, he also planned to send a few more elite green battalions to set up the shelves of the Jingbiao battalion, and if this method was successful, it would be the first to compile it.

"Li Benshen, Hu Maozhen, well, Daniel Zhang and Nan Yikui are also good generals, four towns, each town of 3,000, with the Manmeng Eight Banners and the Green Camp can compete with Chen Weiyi."

After weighing one and the other, Hong Chengchou began to revise the excerpt of expanding the establishment of the green battalions in Guangxin Prefecture in Jiangxi, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Huzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo, Taizhou, Wenzhou, and Jianning and Funing in Fujian.

However, the excerpt had not yet been written, and the Jesuit priest had not yet arrived, but the first to arrive was a circular sent to Hong Chengchou.

After glancing at it, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. "Sure enough, it's Liu Qingtai, it seems that the imperial court has figured it out."

………………

"Liu Qingtai?"

"It's Liu Qingtai."

After the guests and hosts took their seats, Huang Zongxi first congratulated Chen Wenzhu on behalf of Qian Qianyi and himself on his great martial arts in killing the traitor Shi Tingzhu and defeating the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and then mentioned the news that Qian Qianyi had inquired about. The first is that the Manchu court appointed the Han army to be the Red Banner Bannerman, and Liu Qingtai, the deputy examiner of last year's examination, was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, who has now become a hot potato, to assist Hong Chengchou, the economic strategy of the four southeastern provinces, to preside over the plan to suppress him and Zheng Chenggong.

Regarding Chen Jin's successor, Chen Wen had previously specifically recalled that he seemed to be a student from Liaodong, but his reputation was not obvious among civil officials in the early Qing Dynasty. In his impression, it seems that the most famous thing Liu Qingtai has done is the seventh and eighth years of Yongli - the two years when Li Dingguo tried his best to appease Zheng Chenggong during his two expeditions to Guangdong, and was finally tricked by Zheng Chenggong.

However, if you look at the overall situation, Zheng Chenggong's appointment has not arrived, which seems to be related to this matter, God knows if this Liu Qingtai was specially sent by the Manchu court to delay time.

"It seems that the southeast of the Tartars has been decided, it's really strange, why don't they appease me, or I can use Zheng Chenggong's method to get a little cheaper, it's easier than fighting one house after another."

Chen Wen would not say this to Huang Zongxi, even if Huang Zongxi has always been unpretentious to him, but if Wang Yi's friend is scared to death, Chen Wen will not be happy, after all, Huang Zongxi has helped him a lot so far, and he has sent a lot of information at the risk of his life, so he still has to be kind.

"Mr. Lizhou, can Mu Weng say what kind of attitude this person has towards the war situation in the southeast in the Tartar Imperial Court?"

Pretending to be stupid in front of Huang Zongxi, Chen Wen estimated that he had a number, but Huang Zongxi didn't think about it, but just answered truthfully, saying that Qian Qianyi didn't inquire too much, and there was a major incident in the Manchu court recently, so Qian Qianyi planned to rest for a while, maybe he wouldn't be able to help Chen Wen in the near future.

"Chen Mingxia?"

"Exactly, his person is a person from Luyang County, Changzhou Prefecture, Chongzhen 16 years of flowers, Shu Jishi. The article is still excellent, but if the people break in, they will break in, and if they come, they will surrender, and there will be no backbone, and there will be no ears. ”

This villain in Huang Zongxi's mouth, as far as Chen Wen knows, seems to be a protagonist of the north-south party struggle in the early Qing Dynasty, and the north-south party struggle in the early Qing Dynasty is actually a continuation of the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty.

As for Wu Weiye, it is the literati who wrote "Yuanyuanqu" to justify Chen Yuanyuan's name, and later wrote poems saying that Kong Sizhen had an affair with Shunzhi and brought a green hat to Sun Yanling.

In Qian Qianyi's words, Chen Mingxia had already lost his position because of the murder case of Ren Zhen, the chief soldier of Xing'an, Shaanxi, and said that "as long as you keep your hair and redress your clothes, the world will be peaceful", which violated the taboo of the Manchu court and was already bound to die. As a result, who knows, it was implicated in the Manchu Dynasty's previous investigation of Chen Wen's life case, and the implication must be very serious. This trend may soon blow to Jiangnan, so Qian Qianyi feels that he needs to lurk for a while to avoid unnecessary losses.

Chen Wen felt that he was really unpicked, but he didn't have much confidence in this old gentleman. With that guts, it's not easy to be able to do what you are today, so let him rest for a while and let this period of limelight pass.

Huang Zongxi did not ask Chen Wen if he was related to this Chen Mingxia, let alone how Chen Wen's family is now, and even Chen Wen claimed to have obtained information about the Qing army's encirclement and suppression of Siming Mountain in Nanjing when he went south, without asking who did it. Maybe in his opinion, the general backstage behind Chen Wen is likely to be Qian Qianyi, if he knew that Wang Yi also thought so at the time, maybe he couldn't make it a decision.

In addition, Huang Zongxi also mentioned that the Qing army set up a card check on this road, and it is said that they may also be preparing to block the official road leading to the four prefectures of Jinquyan.

In addition, the Qiantang Water Division was destroyed, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty transferred the Su Song Water Division to Zhejiang to fill the shortage of the Qiantang Water Division. The new commander-in-chief of the Su Song Water Division was promoted from the general of the Wuyong Battalion in Jiangnan, and was a native of Shaanxi named Liang Huafeng. (To be continued.) )
