This is the last day of the year because there is no Chinese New Year's Eve in this year, and Chinese New Year's Eve is naturally today. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After several days of meetings, although Xu Lei was only a garrison, he was the person who knew the Ming army best among the civil and military forces in Hangzhou, and his subordinates were also organized according to the initial establishment of the Ming army, whether it was the Pingnan general Gushan Ezhen Jinli who garrisoned the Eight Banners in Hangzhou, or Xiao Qiyuan, the governor of Zhejiang, or his immediate boss Tian Xiong, the governor of Zhejiang, they needed to get as many details as possible from him, because they had no other way.

In the war that took place in Zhejiang this year, the Manchu Qing Dynasty killed a governor, a general soldier, captured three lieutenant generals and a large number of civilian officials, and just got the news that even the Confucian family Nanzong in Quzhou had fallen to the Ming army. In addition, in order to encircle and suppress and defend after defeat, the Manchu Qing successively mobilized the standard battalion of Jiangxi and the standard battalion of the Jiujiang General Army, the standard battalion of the Left Road General Army and the green battalion of Jianning Mansion in Fujian, and the green battalion of Huizhou in the south of the Yangtze River. But even so, Quzhou was still lost, not only Quzhou was lost, but even Chuzhou was lost.

People have been thrown to Fujian, Jiangxi and Jiangnan, and now the entire southeast, and even the entire Manchu world is watching the jokes of Zhejiang's civil and military, and the Manchu Qing's punishment for Zhejiang's civil and military has not yet been issued, which makes them all eager to make meritorious contributions, which is better than the anger of the Qing court, and the whole family was escorted to Ningguta to be enslaved by the armored people.

However, even so, Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, who was temporarily in charge of both Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, was only constantly planning Zhejiang's defense, intending to limit the Zhejiang Ming army to the area around Jinhua, Quzhou, and Chuzhou, to prevent them from entering other provinces, and also to prevent them from gaining the opportunity to join forces with the Fujian Ming army, which was invincible on the coast of Fujian and Guangdong.

However, passive defense is of no use at all, according to the report of the spies, during this time, the Ming army is recruiting and training new soldiers, if nothing else, there will be more than two months in southwest Zhejiang, and then the current Qing army is afraid that it will not even have the ability to fight in the field, let alone others.

Fortunately, the news just received that the Manchu Qing Dynasty secretly dispatched the vassal troops of Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, to move to Fujian to suppress the Fujian Ming army that was wantonly attacking cities and territories in Fujian.

The Qing court did not and could not give up the southeast, which made them all happy, and they also knew that there was only one chance, and when the war started again next year, if they still could not destroy this Zhejiang Ming army, then they would be unlucky. And those generals who have achieved meritorious service in defensive warfare in southwest Zhejiang, as well as other civil and military forces who are expected to be promoted, will inevitably kick them out and make room for them.

For this reason, Zhejiang's high-level civil and military officials held frequent meetings in Hangzhou, and when the standard promotion battalion just returned to Hangzhou, there was also a confrontation within the standard promotion camp, and the result really frightened Jin Li, Xiao Qiyuan and others.

The process of the battle of Shentangyuan has been reported, and the ordinary green battalion has been determined to be unable to fight against this Zhejiang Ming army, and the fine-tuning of weapons is actually only able to hold on for a little longer, and only by copying the Ming army's formation and tactics like the Governor Battalion can it confront this Ming army.

However, this refers only to the green camp in Zhejiang, Jin Li never thought that the Eight Banners Army would be invincible to the Ming army in the wild wave battle, at least he still had this self-confidence.

However, the Eight Banners Army of Fujian and Zhejiang Provinces only had the Eight Banners garrisoned in Hangzhou under his command, but there were only more than 4,400 people. Even if you look at the entire four southeastern provinces, there are only more than 2,000 soldiers and horses of the four banners of the left wing of Jiangning in Jiangnan, which are basically impossible to mobilize. At present, the Eighth Banner Army is heavily concentrated in Beijing and Huguang, and it is very dangerous to reduce the strength of any aspect, and it is indeed difficult to get reinforcements from elite troops for a time in the southeast battlefield, which was close to being completely wiped out last year.

In view of the current situation, Jin Li and others came up with the idea of copying the Ming army by following the example of the Governor's Battalion, but compared with Xiao Qiyuan and Tian Xiong, Jin Li knew very well that this would arouse the disgust and jealousy of the old men who had participated in the bloody battle of the Hunhe River in the Manchu court, so they were always hesitant about this.

Xu Lei learned from his uncle and father-in-law that the matter was very important, and he couldn't decide it for a while. However, Jin Li and Tian Xiong have already determined that if they really copy the establishment of the Ming army, they will naturally use him as an instructor, and if they can be effective, of course, this is what they recognize, as long as it is effective, it will not be difficult to be promoted to the knight, and if you don't get it, you can also raise the flag and become a flag man.

As for the Qing court's dissatisfaction and blame it, Xu Lei has already found a scapegoat - Wang Sheng, his friend, there is a way to die and a friend is not a poor man, and a general is naturally the best scapegoat. Besides, the affairs of the superintendent camp were also planned by him, and it was not wronged against him.

No matter how you look at it, it will be a promising future on the Manchu side, but Chen Wen left a deep impression on him at Siming Mountain, and even to this day he will feel fear when he thinks of the calm look when Chen Wen talked to him. Therefore, Li Ruixin's line naturally cannot be broken, even if the Ming Army turns over in the future, with Li Ruixin's sister, he Xu Lei will also be the one who sits firmly in Diaoyutai.

returned home in high spirits, ready to take Yu to his uncle Xu Xin's house next door to keep the New Year, but to Xu Lei's surprise, when he just returned home, Yu blasted out all the maids around him, and then mysteriously said the doubts in his heart.

"Husband, the concubine heard my brother mention it today, saying that Chen Wen, a traitor from Jinhua, has a subordinate named Li Ruixin, could it be the Li family's sister and her arrogant and unreasonable brother?"

………………

A few families were happy and a few were sad, and when Xu Lei was still dealing with his wife Yu, the Ming army-occupied areas in Jinhua, Quzhou and Chuzhou in southwest Zhejiang were already celebrating vigorously.

For Quzhou and Chuzhou, this year is the first year for the recovery of the Ming army and the reappearance of the Han family's clothes, just like last year's Jinhua, it is natural to celebrate. On the Jinhua side, although the heat of the first year of recovery has passed, and the rebellion in the middle of the year has also brought a shadow to this land, the division of the Ming army this year has still received widespread support from the army, and the good news that Li Dingguo has just passed has made the gentry and people in this land have a lot of hope for the future of the Ming army.

At least in their opinion, if you talk about martial arts, Jinhua is also the place where Huang Ming has always sent strong troops, and the commander of the Zhejiang Ming army is inextricably linked with the Penglai Qi family.

A hidden mansion in the north of Jinhua Prefecture, where Cao Conglong, the former governor of Zhejiang, was placed under house arrest. For this civilian official of the prison army, everyone in Jinhua Mingjun hated him so much that even many civilian officials looked down on him. But the civilian officer of the prison army is the civilian officer of the prison army, and this identity is here, once he is killed, it means rebellion. Even though the power of the Ming court has weakened at present, the armies of all walks of life who resist the Manchu Qing still use the banner of the Ming army as much as possible, because only in this way can they get more support, so that the Manchu Qing has swept the world and occupies seven or eight out of ten of China's current situation to better persist and complete the great cause of expelling the Tartars.

As for the future, if you want to know what the Manchus will look like after they are wiped out, at least you must be able to drive the Manchus out of Liangjing and live to see them until then, which is not something you should worry about now.

Cao Conglong, the former governor of Zhejiang, still retains the official position of governor at present, but even if he is out of the occupied area of this Ming army, no one agrees with his official position.

In history, Cao Conglong, who had the opportunity to be the sixth son of several overseas societies with Zhang Huangyan, Xu Fuyuan, Lu Ruoteng, Shen Yanqi, and Chen Shijing, looked as if he was suddenly dozens of years older than when he detained Sun Yu in the governor's yamen and instigated the outbreak of infighting.

The head is full of white hair, and the corners of the eyes are quite wrinkled, and those eyes are no longer as radiant as they used to be, but are as muddy as they are in their seventies and eighties. Only the bloodshot eyes seem to be able to tell others the answer to all this.

The sound of firecrackers coming from outside the courtyard was not very loud in Cao Conglong's room, but he could still hear it clearly when he was carrying a wine jug to drink the last drop of wine.

"I should have died when the news of Guilin's victory came, and I was ridiculous and deceived myself into thinking that it was a scam conspired by Chen Wen. Hahahaha, it's ridiculous, now that Nikan is dead, then the next step should be Sun and Li's evil. ”

The wine was gone, and the dishes on the table had not been touched by a single chopstick, Chen Wen had never treated him harshly, but Cao Conglong knew very well that this guy who had been stabbed in the back by him was definitely not a guy who repaid his grievances with virtue - this guy was very confident in the history he was talking about, as if he had really seen it with his own eyes. And this self-confidence also made him firmly believe that what he was doing was right, and he also firmly believed that even if he Cao Conglong could live, he would definitely live in self-blame, and his body was better than death.

"The sound of firecrackers removes the old year, but the new peach is replaced by the old charm, and the new era has arrived. You won, Chen Wen, I can't stand this torment anymore. Maybe you're right, but I'm not wrong, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are the teachings of saints, is there anything wrong with loyalty, is it wrong?! ”

After muttering to himself, Cao Conglong staggered up from his chair, walked to an abrupt stool step by step, climbed up, and then put a trouser belt that had already been knotted around his neck.

"Emperor Gao, my allegiance is to your descendants, is this also wrong?"

The sound of stools falling to the ground was drowned out by the sound of firecrackers in the city, the oil lamps went out, and the house was completely dark. At this time, the child time has not yet passed the halfway point. (To be continued.) )
