"I was ordered to arrest Li Zhifang, the former governor of Jinhua Mansion in Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and no one else retreated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

As soon as this sentence came out of the mouth of the green battalion officer who was the leader, Li Zhifang's whole body was shocked, and he immediately understood the secret.

There were many Chen Jin's staff members present, but he was the only one who was arrested, and the only difference between Li Zhifang and other staff members was that he was not in Chen Jin's scenes before Chen Wen captured Jinhua. In the past year, he can be said to be extremely valued in Chen Jinmu, and he is young and vigorous, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself, so he inadvertently offended these villains.

Chen Jin, they will definitely try their best to exonerate him, this is not only the relationship between the proprietor and the staff, but more importantly, they also need to show this loyalty to their new master.

In this case, shifting the responsibility to others is the easiest way to exonerate Chen Jin, after all, Chen Jin was martyred for the Qing court in Quzhou, and if someone comes to bear part of the black pot, Chen Jin's family will naturally be safe.

Thinking about these clearly, Li Zhifang suddenly had another idea - maybe from the beginning, Chen Jin tolerated and praised him so that if he didn't wait, there would always be a guy with a black pot to share some responsibilities, and he was the unlucky guy!

Once he thought of this, Li Zhifang was like falling into an ice cellar, and even the green battalion carried him away without any reaction.

Soon, Li Zhifang followed these Qing troops to the lobby of a yamen, on which several Manchu officials could know their identities at a glance - Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, Zhou Guozuo, the governor of Jiangnan, who was supposed to be in Suzhou, and the others were officials such as political envoys, governors, and prefects.

"The criminal officials below, but the former governor of Jinhua Mansion in Zhejiang Province and the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Yamen praised Li Zhifang?"

"The next official is Li Zhifang."

"This official asks you, in August of the eighth year of Shunzhi, the traitor Chen Wen captured Dongyang County, but you ordered to abandon Yiwu County and withdraw to the green camp besieging Luochengyan?"

"It was an order from the lower officer, but it was ...... at that time"

Seeing that Li Zhifang wanted to explain, the voice immediately interrupted him. "Li Tuiguan, the official only asks you if you are or not, why the official naturally knows, and you don't need to explain."

At the end of August last year, Chen Wen captured Dongyang County, and captured the Jinhua Prefect, Dongyang Prefect, and Ma Jinbao's defender Ma San Province left in Jinhua. At that time, the situation of the capital city was critical, and the defenders were not enough to defend the city, and it was inevitable that Chen Wen would fall once he came to attack. And Yiwu county town has no city wall, Luo Chengyan is easy to be attacked by the Ming army and Luo Chengyan Baitou army inside and outside, rather than staying there and waiting for death, it is better to withdraw to the city to assist in defense.

This matter was originally praised by Chen Jin, but according to the current situation, since these people didn't let him explain, they obviously planned to use it as a crime!

"This official asks you, in November of the eighth year of Shunzhi, the traitor Chen Wen repelled the standard camp of the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, the standard camp of Jinhua Town, and the green camp of Quzhou, Yanzhou, and Chuzhou. At that time, you decided to give up Jinhua Mansion City, did you participate? ”

At that time, the green battalion of Sifu suffered heavy losses, although the loss of the superintendent battalion was small, but it was also unable to fight again, and the proposal to abandon Jinhua was to be discussed, but at this time it had nothing to do with him, it was Zhang Guoxun's intention, because he was anxious to return to Quzhou, Ma Jinbao was noncommittal about this, and he and Zhu Zhixi considered that setting fire to the city would push the local gentry to the side of the Ming army, but it was to no avail. The news that the Fubiao camp was wiped out immediately after that also proved that this decision was not wrong.

But now, these people have this question, but they are clearly instigating him to confront Zhang Guoxun, which is very filthy, although Li Zhifang has not sharpened the edges and corners in recent years, but he has heard and seen a lot, and he is extremely smart, so he can naturally figure out the doorway.

"Xia Guan remembers that it was General Ma who proposed to give up the city at that time, and Xia Guan was a civil official, so he said no."

Ma Jinbao is dead, and he is still a traitor, so it is very convenient and safe to hand over the black cauldron to him to carry it.

Seeing that Li Zhifang reacted immediately, Ma Guozhu in the hall paused slightly, and then continued to ask: "This official asks you, after you entered the curtain of Chen Jin, the former governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, but you proposed to spread the news of Jinhua's fall to the thieves in Fujian, Zhu Chenggong's occupation area?" ”

Although this strategy is risky, the effect is obvious, if this strategy is not carried out, I am afraid that Quzhou will have been captured by the Ming army long ago. But at this moment, they have this question, but it is obviously not so simple.

"It was indeed proposed by the lower officials."

Hearing that Li Zhifang didn't explain, Ma Guozhu couldn't help but nodded, and suddenly felt a trace of pity for this young civil official. It's just that he naturally won't change his established plan for such a trivial matter.

"It's quite honest, so the official asked you at the end, Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, ordered the superintendent battalion to train the mandarin duck array, but you proposed it?"

"This ......"

It was indeed Li Zhifang who was instigated by Wang Sheng to contact Zhu Zhixi and Ji Zhenyi to persuade Chen Jin, Chen Jin was a little hesitant at that time, but finally agreed to Chen Wen's threat. Facts have proved that this decision is extremely correct, if you can train a few more mandarin duck formations, the possibility of a crushing defeat at the hands of the Ming army under the outnumbered is much smaller, and even if it is broken in one fell swoop.

Li Zhifang didn't understand why she had this question, so she had to answer truthfully. And then, several civil officials didn't ask him anything, and directly let him be detained.

After interrogating Li Zhifang, Ma Guozhu returned to the governor's mansion, but he did not go to the lobby to go to the council, nor did he go back to rest, but went straight to a secluded courtyard in the mansion.

The person living in the small courtyard is none other than Hong Chengchou, a bachelor who was absent from the imperial meeting not long ago. Since accepting the post of the governor of the four southeastern provinces, Hong Chengchou has asked for a secret decree and sneaked all the way, and even a series of arrangements after taking office were issued in the name of Ma Guozhu.

The reason why he is so secretive is to try to hide Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong, so that they can know about his arrival as late as possible!

Hong Chengchou's ability is well known, and Zheng Chenggong is his countryman, so he will naturally be more guarded; And Chen Wen, Ma Guanghui, the governor of the three provinces of Shandong, Henan Province, drove the officials of Tianjin Wei and Qingzhou to hang themselves en masse, but they never found the record of this Ming army marshal, whether it was the Tianjin Right Guard and its predecessor Qingzhou Left Guard, or the records of the Governor's Mansion There is no record of Chen Wen's ancestors Chen Sansi and Chen Youdi, let alone any relatives of Yu Ding of this hereditary hundred families are still in the Qing army occupation area.

This question made Hong Chengchou smell a danger signal, in his opinion, the name Chen Wen is likely to be fake, or it is not a hereditary military general's family at all. The reason why he acted like this was that it was likely that some members of his family were in the Manchu court, and according to the information that the general named Wang Sheng had obtained from Feng Jingdi the year before last, Chen Wen had climbed Dalan Mountain with confidential information about the encirclement and suppression of Siming Mountain by the Qing army in Zhejiang, and the things that meant this really made him shudder.

In order to deal with the threat caused by the alliance of Chen Wen, Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo, who was still in Guangxi before his departure, Hong Chengchou can be said to have exhausted his efforts.

Chen Wen's offensive was in full swing, but the Qing army in southwest Zhejiang was unable to carry out a counteroffensive, so he used the name of Ma Guozhu to order the standard battalion of the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian and the standard battalion of the general army of Fujian Left Road to defend the line from Jiangshan County to Xianxia Pass, and transferred Liu Guangbi, the governor of Jiangxi, and the green battalion of Huizhou to assist in the defense of Changshan and Kaihua two counties, and Yang Jie, the general soldier of Jiujiang, responded to prevent Chen Wen from threatening the neighboring provinces after capturing the three counties, causing a greater chain reaction.

In this way, Jiangxi was naturally empty, and in addition to ordering Arzin to defend Nanchang by means of Shunzhi's holy decree, he also transferred part of the green battalion from Henan and Jiangnan to assist in the defense. As for Ganxi, for the time being, it can only be left to fend for itself.

The mess left by Chen Jin was too big, but Hong Chengchou, with his excellent experience and strategic vision, still saw that the key to the southeast war situation was Chen Wen, and he must first limit his expansion speed and scope before he could free up his hands to do other things. Moreover, "today's wealth is half out of the southeast." And the southeast important place, such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang", Zhejiang is too important, and it must start from here, at least the first two steps must be used here.

Now Jinhua can't kill it, and Quzhou is more than enough to defend and not enough to attack. Originally, he didn't want to give up, but there were too few city walls in the ten counties of Chuzhou, and the heavy losses of the green camp in Chuzhou were not conducive to assisting in defense, so he had to order his troops to defend Qingtian County to prevent the Ming army from entering Wenzhou and gaining access to the sea.

Although the relationship between him and Ma Guozhu is average, for the sake of the great cause of the Manchu Emperor, there is already a tacit understanding in this action.

For the sake of secrecy, Ma Guozhu generally does not come over, at least until he runs out of three axes and officially releases his position as the governor of the four southeastern provinces. At present, the first step of the three-county defense has just been completed, but Ma Guozhu has come here, and I think it should be the second step There is already news. (To be continued.) )
