"Minister, always obey the resignation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After the bowing ceremony, Chen Wen obtained the title of marquis, and at the same time, he also changed from the Lu Jianguo Group to the Yongli Imperial Court in the camp, completing the jump from the Lu domain to the Gui domain.

Since serving under Wang Yi's banner, Chen Wen is an out-and-out military general of the Lu Domain, because from Wang Yi to Wang Jiang are all under the command of the Lu Domain, and as a general, he is naturally no exception. Later, he successively accepted the titles of Chief Military Officer of Dalanshan and Earl Linhai, and he was even more nailed on this issue. However, with the outbreak of Cao Conglong's rebellion, the contradictions between the two sides completely intensified, and Chen Wen and Lu Jianguo finally parted ways.

There is actually only one reason for this. Chen Wen's strategic purpose was to expand his strength as much as possible under the condition of preserving his own strength, and to prepare for the days to come, when the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, so as to achieve the goal of restoring the rivers and mountains of the Han family. In contrast, the Lu Jianguo Group is generally in urgent need of returning to eastern Zhejiang and getting rid of Zheng Chenggong's control. As for the refinement, it is that Lu Jianguo needs to retain his status as a prisoner, and the civil official group wants to control Chen Wen's power in his hands to fight against Zhang Mingzhen and other nobles, and Zhang Mingzhen also saw all this and tried his best to prevent Shen Chenquan, the first assistant of the cabinet, from going to Jinhua, because Shen Chenquan's ability and experience are much stronger than Cao Conglong, at least he will not be reckless enough to completely intensify the contradictions.

However, under the selfishness of the various forces from the big to the small, from the inside to the outside, and the effect of the contradiction with Chen Wen's goals, the Cao Conglong Rebellion broke out, and this internal strife not only tore apart the internal army of Jinhua Ming, but also completely tore apart the connection between Chen Wen's own forces and the Lu Jianguo group.

Since then, Chen Wen has effectively ceased to be a member of the Lu Jianguo group. And now, with the issuance of the canonization edict, all the Ming armies in the southeast and southwest have all gathered under the banner of the Son of Yongli, at least nominally.

However, among the various Ming armies that are now raising troops to resist the Qing Dynasty under the banner of Zhongxing Daming, there are very few regular armies in the Ming court - the Southwest Ming Army with the Great Western Army as the main body, the Kuidong Ming Army with the remnants of the Dashun Army as the main body, the Fujian Ming Army formerly known as the Fujian Pirates, and the Zhejiang Ming Army from the Righteous Army. In addition to these four armies, most of the other Ming armies were too weak to reverse the defeat on the local battlefield, and even the Kuidong Ming army, which was lined with mountains and was only led by the university scholar Wen Anzhi as the superintendent and the generals, was not much better.

Geographically dispersed and distrustful of each other was the biggest problem between the various divisions of the Ming army. The reasons for all this are complex, but the most terrifying thing is not this.

When the Qing army moved south, due to the sharp decline in resources and the lack of control over the army, the rulers of the Ming court could only rely on titles to win over large and small warlords, which led to the occurrence of indiscriminate titles.

If a country's money is worthless, then its economy is about to go bankrupt; If a country's official position is worthless, then its politics will be ruined; If a country is not even worth a title, then the time before the country dies can be counted down.

Not to mention at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Wang Yangming was just an earl, Li Chengdong, who was crisscrossing Liaodong, was just an earl, and Qi Jiguang, who was dominant, hung and beat the Japanese and the northern captives, did not even get a count.

But now, in just a few years, the Ming court has canonized dozens of princes. According to Zhang Jun's report, Zheng Chenggong also accepted the title of Duke of Zhangguo this time. At present, even a warlord who only has war auxiliaries and old and weak women and children together with only a few thousand people can be named an earl, a marquis, or even a prince, and his marquis is actually not as valuable as before.

Now, Nan Ming is just exchanging some loyalty for the only thing that can still have some temptation for warlords everywhere, in a vain attempt to turn the tables. But in fact, Nanming can support it until now, these titles are just filling in the head compared to the defense of Yixia, even the Yongli court itself understands this truth, otherwise it would not have come to the beginning of the edict "Kexu Yilun, the first important righteousness of the monarch and ministers, meritorious world, in the defense of Yanyixia".

Although he didn't take the little marquis too seriously, for Chen Wen, the canonization of this time was by no means ordinary, and he had to accept this marquis for the sake of political standing and uniting Li Dingguo. Other than that, it's just a little better.

However, this title that Chen Wen doesn't look down on is very expensive in the eyes of others, not only Chen Wen's several generals in Jinhua Mansion City, but even several civil officials including Han Qizheng are envious, only Sun Yu is simply happy for Chen Wen.

Noticing this scene, Chen Wen suddenly realized the necessity of raising merits, at least when the edict envoy returned to restore his life, he would definitely prepare the good news of meritorious service and the documents for guaranteeing the merits. In the next edict, there may be another batch of nobles and local high-ranking officials in the Zhejiang Ming Army, just like Zheng Chenggong's Fujian Ming Army.

Accepting the title, Chen Wen was on the ship of the Yongli Imperial Court. This canonization, in addition to the title, also has the position of the governor of the left army governor's office, the seal of the general of the army, the title of the crown prince and the crown prince, the reward of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the position of the commander of the commander's army and horses of the commander, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi, and a Shangfang sword.

Today, the governor's office, hanging seals, adding titles, and sealing seals are actually of no practical significance, and more of them are just good.

In addition to the political significance, the position of the commander-in-chief of the commander-in-chief, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi army and horse aid and suppression enabled Chen Wen to gain the right to command the Ming armies of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi, even if only in name. The reason for getting this position, according to Zhang Jun, was only because his army was fighting on the front line in Quzhou and had the opportunity to enter Huizhou in Nanzhili and Guangxin Mansion in Jiangxi, so he gave a name in advance.

As for Shang Fang's sword, it is still used to grant the right to act cheaply, because even if the Ming court does not give it, these warlords below will also do their own thing, so it is better to give it late than early, at least it is reasonable to say it on face.

After accepting the canonization of Marquis An Yuan, Chen Wen sent someone to send the envoy of the edict to the post house to rest, and he was accompanied by the envoy sent by Zheng Chenggong to congratulate, and Zhang Jun told him that Zheng Chenggong's envoy might have something else. However, to Chen Wen's surprise, the Yongli Imperial Court did not send a civilian official from the prison army, and the specific situation and the current situation in the southwest had to be investigated again.

Fortunately, the envoy of the edict still has to stay in Zhejiang for a period of time, and it is estimated that there is also a task to find out the general situation of the Ming army in Zhejiang. Those things that Chen Wen wants to know, these days can be completely figured out.

………………

At the same time that Chen Wen accepted the title of Marquis of Anyuan, Li Zhifang and his entourage, who had previously set off from Quzhou to Jiangning to seek advice for Chen Jin, had also arrived in Jiangning Mansion.

After a few days of operation by the old gentleman who had a friend working in Ma Guozhu's curtain, Ma Guozhu also agreed to say something for Chen Jin, and today is also the day when Li Zhifang, who is responsible for supervising the bribes, went to the yamen of the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi with everyone to hand over the goods to Ma Guozhu's housekeeper.

Everything has been discussed, and Ma Guozhu has already written a note in front of the old gentleman. I got the news in the inn yesterday, and Li Zhifang's heart fell.

It's just that after the delivery, as Ma Guozhu's housekeeper waved his hand, a team of Qing troops suddenly rushed out and surrounded Li Zhifang on the spot.

"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." (To be continued.) )
