Chapter XVIII

In July, according to the custom, it is not suitable to get married, so the fortune teller, who is known as the most effective fortune teller in Jinhua Mansion, helped Chen Wen set a few days in August and September. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info September, which is already approaching the late stage of summer tax collection, and at that time it is estimated that military affairs will start to be busy again, so Chen Wen picked a day in August, which is also today - the eighth day of the eighth month of August.

It's just that I got married today, and I reviewed the etiquette a few times yesterday at the urging of Sun Yu and his wife to deepen my impression. Early this morning, Chen Wen's first thing was to go straight to the study in the inner courtyard and pick up the letter that had just been delivered this morning.

"Anyuan Marquis Chen Gong saw the letter like a ......"

The letter was written by Zheng Chenggong, and after the successive visits of Zheng Qi and Zheng Tai, in the southeast, a mechanism for exchanging information between Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong has been established. It's just that now there is no direct connection between the Ming army in Zhejiang and the Ming army in Fujian, and the road must pass through the occupied area of the Qing army, so the transmission is still relatively confidential, and at the same time, it is also extremely troublesome to delay the transmission speed.

There are three main pieces of news sent by Zheng Chenggong this time, one of which is that Liu Qingtai, the new governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, has arrived in Fuzhou, and the first thing he did when he took office was to put Zhang Xuesheng, the governor of Fujian, the chief soldier and horse of the right road of Fujian, Huang Shu of Xingquan Province in Fujian, and Wang Yingyuan, the governor of Fujian, and other officials in prison, and escort them back to Beijing for trial by the three law divisions.

Liu Qingtai served as the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, this news Chen Wen had already learned from Huang Zongxi, and at that time he also sent someone to the agreed contact point to pass it to Zheng Chenggong, but in the news of this return, Liu Qingtai's residence in Fuzhou made him almost laugh.

The residence of the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian was originally supposed to be Quzhou, but now that Quzhou is all in Chen Wen's hands, the Qing army did not even dare to take half a step in Xianxia Pass, let alone send such a big official to Chen Wen's mouth. And now, Liu Qingtai is stationed in Fuzhou, and Yang Minggao, the governor of Fujian, is also stationed there, and although Zhang Xuesheng is in prison, the governor of Fujian who takes over must also stay there. If Zheng Chenggong fights for some anger and bombards Geng Jimao from Quanzhou to Fuzhou, the four heavenly kings of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Fujian face each other in Fuzhou City, and it is estimated that the military and political affairs in Fujian can be completely solved on the mahjong table.

It's just that Zhang Xuesheng and others were suddenly imprisoned, but Chen Wen clearly remembered that this was the Manchu Qing Dynasty thinking that Zheng Chenggong was showing goodwill, in order to negotiate peace. And the crime of escorting them back to Beijing was also that when Zheng Chenggong went to King Qinwang in Guangdong that year, these guys dug out the old nest of the Zhongzuo Institute, so that the Zheng family's property that had been hoarded for many years was swept away. In the words of the Manchu court, it is because of this that Zheng Chenggong will fight against the Qing army with his life, and these big names are the culprits.

I have to say that although it was more than 200 years earlier and found the work to get under the steps, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still the same skilled, and the thick strength of the face was also deducted from a mold, which was obviously inherited in the same vein, and even later generations reached the realm of being better than the blue, and no one could say that the bloodline of the Manchu royal family was not pure.

In fact, many of them were imprisoned because of the uneven distribution of spoils, and were hated by other Manchu magnates and officials. Chen Wen remembered that it seemed that after these people entered Beijing, they also refused to admit it to death, and privately relied on bribes, and even the officials who interrogated them began to be vague, and finally this public case was closed. Especially Ma Degong, it seems that it didn't take long for him to return to Fujian, and he was soon promoted to the governor of Fujian, and after his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of first-class marquis, which was not good.

Historically, the Manchu Qing Dynasty decided to use Zheng Zhilong to recruit Zheng Chenggong because Zheng Chenggong was too difficult, coupled with Jin Li's defeat of Haicheng and Li Dingguo's beginning to use troops in Guangdong. By now, Zhejiang, which had been pacified, had become a big disaster for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was obviously a last resort to appease Zheng Chenggong, but whether Zheng Chenggong would plan and use this to expand his power as in history, Chen Wen had no way of knowing.

The second thing, in fact, has already happened, that is, Zheng Chenggong responded to the plan and call of his teacher Qian Qianyi, and threw the cost into the plan of the third bureau of the catalpa fang. The first batch is the 20,000 army led by Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan, which has already set off, and if nothing else, it will arrive at Chongming Island next month to prepare for entering the Yangtze River and receiving Sun Kewang.

The three bureaus of the catalpa are the grand strategies planned by Qian Qianyi, Chen Wen has already agreed, Zheng Chenggong is his student, so naturally there is no reason to disagree. As for Sun Kewang, Chen Wen remembered very well, and he was also full of confidence and eagerness for this plan, if he remembered correctly, Yao Zhizhuo should have taken those letters and edicts back to Jiangnan by now.

Everything is ready and only Dongfeng is owed, but it is a pity that Sun Dongfeng, the second male in history, has always been blocked on the road by the Manchu paparazzi led by Hong Chengchou and did not arrive on the set as scheduled. So much so that the male No. 1 Qian Kongming didn't even sing a rival play, so he could only chat with some small supporting actors, and smashed a good drama that borrowed the east wind.

Now, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan have set off as they did in history, but Hong Chengchou was appointed as the southeast economic strategy in advance, and the southwest war situation is likely to be in the next year, and Sun Kewang will re-establish an army that is enough to send troops to restore Huguang and there will be earth-shaking changes.

It is still unknown whether the three rounds will be empty!

In fact, in the seventh year of Yongli and the eighth year of Yongli, Zheng Chenggong has always faced a choice of three directions. On the battlefield of Fujian, Zheng Chenggong captured Zhangzhou, but the Geng family moved to Fujian, and the threat on land increased dramatically, so that his pressure here did not weaken. There is nothing to be done here for a while, so the other two - the joint attack on Guangdong and the three rounds of the Zhu Dynasty will inevitably have to make a choice, just like when the original two battles with Jin Li, although the Han Army Eight Banners were defeated, but their own strength was also seriously damaged.

In the third game, Zheng Chenggong has obviously started to work; In the direction of Guangdong, although Zheng Chenggong called Li Dingguo respectful enough, he still had no intention of leaving. And the last news is the battle of Zhaoqing initiated by Li Dingguo.

For Li Dingguo not being invited, even if Chen Wen received a belated letter of apology due to Hong Chengchou's blockade of the place after the war in the four provincial capitals, he was still very dissatisfied in his heart. As long as Jiangxi wins a battle, Nanjing will go down the river. Nanjing, the land of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, is the only place in the world that is rich and rich, and its influence is only something that Beijing can compete with. Isn't it better than the so-called "Guangdong is rich, Jiangxi is ruined, and it is deeply rooted and only the roots" is better than the so-called "Guangdong is rich, Jiangxi is ruined, and it is really not like Li Dingguo, who is a famous king of two times".

It's just that looking at history, Sun Kewang's time bomb is indeed a big threat, and Li Dingguo is also a loyal minister who has been brainwashed by the idea of loyalty, and God knows if the unfulfilled intention at that time had this consideration.

However, now, Li Dingguo is still defeated in Zhaoqing as in history, and with his character, it is naturally impossible to give up. Perhaps, the Battle of Xinhui will still break out next year, but in Chen Wen's memory, it was a siege battle that was extremely tragic - for no other reason, the cruelty of the Qing army was vividly manifested in that battle, so that Chen Wen still remembers it vividly.

"I should do something, even if it is not to prevent Li Dingguo's fiasco, but also to try to save those people from becoming a meal for the Qing army."

Xinhui, located south of Guangzhou, was too far from his occupation of Zhejiang. There are two fastest ways to get there, one is to take a boat, all the way south through Fujian and eastern Guangdong, and directly from the Pearl River Delta; The other is to try to recover Jiangxi, especially Southern Jiangxi, from there directly into Guangzhou, and after the death is still gratifying, I think that Yunlong may not have the courage to continue to resist.

Unconsciously rubbing the texture of the paper, these two ideas are all going to travel thousands of miles all the way, and judging from the current strength of the Zhejiang Ming Army, it looks like nonsense. It wasn't until a long time later that an anxious urge woke him up.

"Furen, the auspicious time has arrived, why are you still in a daze here?" (To be continued.) )
