Chapter 2 Good News

At the same time, on the other side of the mountain and sea barrier, Lu Jianguo's trip was in Zhoushan, and the ceremony of the Shangsi Festival had ended. The important ministers of the Lu Jian Dynasty returned to the main hall to continue to discuss state affairs, but compared with the fifteenth day of the first month, there were so few fewer people.

During the Spring Festival, the news of Dolgon's death came, and the monarchs and ministers of the Lu Jian Dynasty were very happy, after all, this barbarian chieftain who had been in trouble for many years still could not escape the mandate of heaven, which made these monarchs and ministers who were interested in restoring the world of the Han family all excited.

After reinforcing one's mind, another civil strife broke out in Zhoushan, this time the two sides had joined forces against Huang Binqing's allies a year earlier, but now they are mortal enemies. As for cheering up or something, I'll talk about it when the infighting is over.

After Huang Binqing's death, the Pingxibo Dynasty was first dissatisfied with Lu Jianguo's letter to Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, and spread the news that Zhang Mingzhen was the mastermind of Huang Binqing's death. At this time, there were many old departments of Huang Binqing in Zhoushan, Zhang Mingzhen and Danghu Bo Ruan Jin were afraid of chaos, so they decided to strike preemptively, and sent sharp soldiers to attack and kill them on a morning in February of the fifth year of Yongli, and finally killed the dynasty first. After that, Zhang Mingzhen and Ruan Jin put all the responsibility for Huang Binqing's death on Wang Chaoxian, and finally made a temporary end to this public case.

It's just that the responsibility for Huang Binqing's death was borne by the dead dynasty first, Zhang Mingzhen and Ruan Jin said that they were all happy, but the subordinates of the "back-handed man" Wang Dynasty were not satisfied with this.

As a result, Zhang Jiming and Lu Tingji, the generals of the first dynasty, were indignant, fell over the wall, seized the ship and sailed to Ningbo to surrender to Zhang Jie, the general soldier of Dinghai of the Manchu Dynasty, and informed that Zhoushan was false and real, and was willing to act as a guide for the Qing army.

The dynasty died first, his generals also fled, the fact has been created, it cannot be changed, and the monarchs and ministers of the Lu Jian State are still discussing the upcoming war.

Chen Wen knew through historical records that the intention of the Qing army to attack Siming Mountain was Zhoushan, and the monarchs and ministers of the Lu Jian State in Zhoushan were not stupid, and they also knew the purpose of the Qing army. It's just that at that time, Zhang Mingzhen, Ruan Jin, Wang Chaoxian and others were still a little indigestion when they annexed Huang Binqing's forces, and it was really not suitable to send troops, plus Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Yi had always been not on good terms, and it was impossible to risk the chaos in Zhoushan to help.

It's just that the fall of Simingshan means that Zhoushan is isolated. A few days ago, the news of the Battle of Siming Lake had come, Wang Yi was captured with all his might, and other Ming troops were almost wiped out in this battle and the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army thereafter. The Simingshan anti-Qing base has fallen, and this year the Qing army will definitely gather a large army to attack Zhoushan.

"No matter which direction the Tartars attack, they have to cross the sea to reach Xingzai, if the main force must be in Ningbo from the distance, the minister thinks that as long as the Tartar boat division is defeated, he can hold Xingzai, and then recover Ningbo."

As the head of the martial arts class, Zhang Mingzhen's answer first set the tone for the strategy. This strategy sounds simple, and it can even be said to be nonsense, but it is also in line with the current situation of the Ming and Qing armies at this time, and it can be regarded as a good strategy for overcoming the enemy's shortcomings with one skill. It's just that at this moment, a eunuch walked in with low eyebrows and reported the news of his arrival to Lu Jianguo, who was sitting on the dragon chair.

"Report to His Royal Highness the Supervisor of the State, the messenger of the head of the household department and the right deputy governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yushi Wangjiang, to request an audience."

Wang Jiang?

In October last year, in the Battle of Siming Lake, Wang Yi was defeated and captured, and the old camp of Dalanshan fell. There will be a messenger from Wang Jiang here, is the news of the defeat of the Qing army a few days ago true?

With doubts in his heart, Lu Jianguo asked the eunuch to summon the messenger to answer these questions for him and the vassals present.

"Weichen Wang Xiuquan paid a visit to His Royal Highness the Prison State." As he spoke, the captain of the former Jingluo personal soldier with the title of Qian General saluted to Zhu Yihaiji, the head of Lu Jianguo.

After saluting, after getting the signal to get up, Wang Xiuquan stood up and expressed his intention to Lu Jianguo.

As the captain of Wang Yi's personal army in Jinglue Mansion, Wang Xiuquan accompanied Wang Yi to meet Lu Jianguo last time he came to Zhoushan, but after less than a year, most of the Ming army in Dalanshan lost most, and even Wang Yi was defeated and captured, which made Wang Xiuquan's heart full of lamentation. It's just that during this time, as Wang Jiang's messenger, he came here as a messenger of the rest of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, to report the details of the battle of Siming Lake and the good news of the battle after the palace of Siming Mountain to the court of Lu Jianguo.

"In October of the fifth year of the Jianguo, the Wang divisions of Siming Mountain gathered in Liangnong Town, preparing to attack the standard battalion led by Tian Xiong, the governor of Zhejiang Province, in accordance with the strategy formulated by the guerrilla general Chen Wen, and then go south to meet the Wang Division in the south of Siming Mountain to meet the Eight ......Banners garrisoned in Hangzhou."

Due to the length of Wang Jiang's recital, it was not possible to write all the details of the battle clearly, so after presenting Wang Jiang's recital, Wang Xiuquan told the ins and outs of the whole battle in detail to the monarchs and ministers of Lu Jianguo present at the suggestion of Lu Jianguo.

As a first-hand witness of the Battle of Siming Lake, he witnessed almost all the scenes before the complete collapse of the Ming army, and later Chen Wen defeated the Tibiao Zuo Battalion, and also learned about the situation after that from the mouths of those prisoners, so it seems very intuitive for him to tell it at this moment.

“…… Many of the soldiers who still chose to continue fighting either launched a decisive counterattack against the Tartars, or gathered under the banner of Jinglu, until the general soldier Ren who personally defended Jinglu was martyred, and Wang Jinglue, who had been beating the war drum to boost morale since the collapse of the Wang Division, drew his sword and was captured after slashing several people. ”

"Hey."

Hearing this, Lu Jianguo couldn't help but sigh. The news of the fiasco in the Battle of Siming Lake had reached Zhoushan more than a month ago, but because the leaders of the Ming army in Siming Mountain were either captured, killed in battle, or disappeared, the specific details were not clear.

It's just that what the monarchs and ministers of Lu Jianguo didn't expect was that the Ming army was not without hope of winning in the early stage of this war, whether it was the unexpected intelligence, or the various plans formulated to break it, and the Nantang battalion that came out of nowhere, the Ming army's hope of victory was actually very great.

What I didn't expect was that this battle, which was supposed to be a great victory, was finally turned around by a general of Feng Jingdi, a little person they had never heard of, and the Qing army would win so easily, especially today when the news of Feng Jingdi's martyrdom had come, it really made the monarchs and ministers of the Lu Jian State who were present sigh.

"Weichen originally wanted to die together, but after a slight fate, Wang Vice Xian and Chen Guerrilla covered the retreat of the people......"

Next, Wang Xiuquan told the rest of the story. It's just that he didn't mention Chen Wen's temptation of the officials of Dalanshan, which was ordered by Wang Jiang before, after all, a suspicious courtier is unlikely to please Lu Jianguo, and an official who is suspicious of his colleagues will also arouse the disgust of other ministers in the court, even if it is a helpless move at that critical moment.

“…… On the sixth day of the first month of November, when the Tartars saw that the king was about to leave the mountain, they quickened their march to catch up. General Chen knew that he could not successfully withdraw from Siming Mountain, so he resolutely led his troops to the rear of the palace. In this battle, there were more than 1,000 soldiers and more than 1,500 auxiliary soldiers of the standard battalion, led by Li Rong, the deputy general of the left battalion, and General Chen, in order to prevent the Tartar rangers from attacking the people on a detour, divided the Nantang battalion, which was originally less than 600 soldiers, into more than 100 soldiers to continue to cover the people......

Even though he was not allowed to participate in this battle, Wang Xiuquan still learned the details of the battle from Wang Jiang, Chen Wen, and the officers and soldiers of the Nantang battalion. Of course, Chen Wen's statement is more modest, but those soldiers in the Nantang camp are scattered and blow, and they don't make drafts at all, anyway, they do win more with less, and no one can say that these soldiers who fought bloody battles are not.

When Wang Xiuquan described, he adopted a neutralizing approach, which can be regarded as relatively close to the truth. It's just that in the ears of the monarchs and ministers of Lu Jianguo, it is clearly a story of a brave and abnormal martial artist who advanced against artillery fire to boost morale, and finally defeated the stupid Qing army.

“…… Beheaded 592 people, captured 919 people, captured 12 people below Li Rong, the deputy general of the left battalion, and won a great victory! ”

"What a fierce general!"

Lu Jianguo closed his eyes, and made up his mind that Chen Wen stood at the front of the whole army, and under the uninterrupted baptism of the Qing army's artillery fire, he was as fearless as a heavenly soldier and a general, and finally killed the scene in the formation of the Qing army alone, and issued a heartfelt sigh.

"Congratulations to Your Highness for getting another fierce general."

"Congratulations to Daming, congratulations to His Royal Highness, General Chen is as brave as this, and the reincarnation of King Kaiping is just like that."

“……”

Lu Jianguo expressed his admiration, and Zhang Kentang, a member of the cabinet university, and Dong Zhining, a member of the military department, immediately congratulated Lu Jianguo.

Originally, in the Battle of Siming Lake, the Ming army suffered a heavy defeat, Zhejiang's anti-Qing cause suffered a great defeat, and Zhoushan Xingzai was bound to be attacked. In this battle behind the palace of Siming Mountain, Chen Wen was able to defeat the 2,500 Qing army with 500 soldiers, which is really exciting, especially this military general is still a civilian official.

In contrast, Dong Zhining is one of the six crazy students in Ningbo, and a member of the Five Gentlemen's Battle over the Wall, and he is friends with Wang Yi, Wang Jiang, Feng Jingdi and others. Chen Wennai was born as Wang Yi's subordinate general, so he naturally wanted to be closer.

Next, other ministers also sent congratulatory words to Lu Jianguo, and even Zhang Mingzhen, who had always been on discord with Wang Yi, also sighed at Chen Wen's bravery, after all, in the context of such a fiasco, such a brilliant victory is bound to inspire the hearts of the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang, and to prepare for the subsequent war.

Since the news of Dolgon's death came, Lu Jianguo finally heard something that made him sincerely happy after acquiescing to the murder of Zhang Mingzhen and Ruan Jin and the repeated bad news of the murder of Zhang Mingzhen and Ruan Jin and the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Siming Lake. After accepting the congratulations of the courtiers, he proposed the matter of rewarding, which is the proper meaning, although the reward of money and wealth cannot be taken out by the current Lu Jian State court, but there are still titles and official positions, and this is the only thing he can get.

After learning that Chen Wen's ancestor was the general of Li Wenzhong, the king of Qiyang, Lu Jianguo consulted Zhang Kentang, Zhang Mingzhen and other important civil and military ministers, and ordered the eunuchs around him to summon the other two ministers who were not in the palace at the moment.

After the two ministers entered the palace, Zhang Mingzhen, who suggested that Lu Jianguo summon these two, immediately asked: "Two General Li, when King Qiyang was alive, did he have a general named Chen Sansi under his command?" ”

PS: The most annoying part has been deleted, and the author doesn't like to watch the part of infighting, but this is Nanming's daily life, so I wrote a few sentences briefly. In addition, sooner or later, those who come out to mix will have to pay it back, Chen Wen brainwashed others in the name of Li Wenzhong, and this time he threw himself in.

PS: I just finished writing, and I came back late recently, so it's hard to guarantee an update before eight o'clock, forgive me.
