Sure enough, it was an edict.

From the last time on Tiantai Mountain, Lu Jianguo sent an envoy to reward Chen Wen for his victory in the battle after the Siming Mountain Palace, preserving the merits of the people who went south to Siming Mountain, and also determined that he obeyed the King of Lu of the Prison State as the orthodoxy of the Emperor Ming.

In less than a year, the Ming army in Zhoushan was forced to move south to Fujian after the fall of the base area, and the remnants of the Ming army in Siming Mountain were also attacked again, and even the generals of Tiantai Mountain suffered heavy losses. In this context, Chen Wen recovered Jinhua Mansion with a lone army and defeated the large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, which is indeed extremely rare.

However, with the capture of Wang Jiang, the court of the Lu Jianguo Kingdom was bound to send people to take this armed force in its hands after receiving the news, so as to improve its overall strength.

The content of the edict should be a reward, although for Chen Wen, the name of official position, title and so on is not of much use for the time being, but reach out and don't hit the smiling person, since the people sent it, then if they refuse to accept the connection, it is obviously the meaning of breaking with the court of Lu Jianguo, and it will inevitably have a great adverse impact on the internal unity of the Ming army group under his command.

The incense case has been laid out, and Chen Wen led his generals to worship in front of the imperial power represented by the holy decree, and listen to the will from the king of Lu in the prison state recited by Cao Conglong, who acted as an angel.

"The edict of King Lu of the Prison State: The chief military officer of Dalanshan is guarded, act cheaply, hang the seal of the general of the conquest, the governor of the left army, the governor of the left army, and the hereditary commander of Zhejiang, Chen Wen."

"The favor of Nanyue is lonely, and the first is Huan Gui; The bestower of life, especially Chonghuang jade...... Hereby revert to resist the thin felling, swear to restore Zhejiang, will be strangled in Yanran, and want to be named in the Lin Pavilion. ”

“…… It is hereby decreed: Jin Qing is the chief military officer of western and southern Zhejiang, and acts cheaply. Hang the seal of the general, the left army governor's mansion, the left governor, the prince Shaobao, and Linhai Bo. The special governor of Zhejiang and other places, the right attendant of the military affairs department and the right deputy of the Imperial Procuratorate, Cao Conglong, was in Jinhua, and the meaning of the lonely dependence was clear...... Wei Qing reluctantly. Admiration, special edict. Prison Guolu six years of wax month. ”

The decree is read. The generals under Chen Wen's command still bowed to the ground, but they were all happy, even excited.

Linhai Bo, their boss finally obtained the title of the Ming Dynasty, although the current Ming court abuse is serious, but the title is the title, from today their commander is the lord of the court, no longer just a simple general. And today Chen Wen can get the knighthood, which also means that they will have this day sooner or later. Shouldn't this be exciting?

However, when Chen Wen listened to this holy decree, he did not have the joy of all the generals under his command, but only the panic of falling into an ice cellar and the anger that followed.

In the holy decree, there is no change in the position of the general and the governor, which is the proper meaning, and the crown prince Shaobao is an honorary title, which has no practical effect. Among them, the greasy lies in the "chief military officer of the military affairs of western and southern Zhejiang" and "Linhaibo".

Geographically speaking, western Zhejiang refers to the three prefectures of Jinhua, Quzhou and Yanzhou in western Zhejiang. In southern Zhejiang, there are three prefectures: Chuzhou, Wenzhou and Taizhou. Culturally, however, western Zhejiang is part of Zhejiang's Hangjiahu Lake and Nanzhili, while the rest of Zhejiang, including Shaoxing, Ningbo, Taizhou, Wenzhou, Chuzhou, Jinhua, Quzhou, and Yanzhou, is part of eastern Zhejiang, bounded by the Qiantang River.

In the edict of Lu Jianguo, it was written that it was to guard the western and southern parts of Zhejiang, which was naturally a geographical title. At first glance, there may not be anything abnormal, because the territory that Chen Wen now occupies belongs to the western part of Zhejiang. Jinyun County, the capital of the state, belongs to southern Zhejiang.

But at present, there is only one Ming army left in the whole of Zhejiang, and it is normal for a commander to be in the name of Zhejiang's military affairs, even if it is too exaggerated, the commander's "culturally eastern Zhejiang" military affairs are also completely okay, why do you take the trouble to declare that it is "town guard" and "chief military officer of western and southern Zhejiang"?

And the so-called Linhaibo. According to the knighthood habits of the Southern Ming Dynasty, it is generally divided into several types, taking the marquis and earl canonized by King Lu of the Jianguo as an example, the first is the Yong name, such as Pingyi Marquis Zhou Hezhi, Danghu Marquis Ruan Jin, and Liu Yiming's old boss Weiyi Marquis Liu Mu belongs to this category; The second type is similar to the previous one, but it is named after the direction, such as Zhang Mingzhen, Hou of Dingxi, and Pingxi Bo Dynasty; The last one is named after the hometown, the town and its surrounding areas, such as Xinchang Bo Yu Guowang and Changxing Bo Wu Yi belong to this category.

However, Chen Wen's Linhai Bo is not among these three, and it is completely untouched by the first two, and if it is classified according to the last one, Linhai is the government of Taizhou, and Chen Wen's current occupation area is in Jinhua, which means that it is self-evident.

I can't imagine that the monarchs and ministers of Lu Jianguo can even come up with a way to make advance payments, it seems that they are really underestimated!

In fact, if it was just like this, it would be fine, but when I think of Cao Conglong's identity as "the right attendant of the Governor of Zhejiang and other places, the right attendant of the Military Affairs Department and the right deputy of the Imperial Palace", it is logical to replace Wang Jiang as the civilian supervisor of the Ming army under his command, and the Shangfang sword brought by Cao Conglong is theoretically used to kill him at the right time!

Shang Fang's sword, Chen Wen is not without it, and if he receives the order, he will be a noble, not an ordinary military general, and his status is slightly higher than that of ordinary civil officials.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty has been using literature to control martial arts since the middle and late periods, and in the Chongzhen Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan opened a bad example of being good at beheading the marshal. At the moment, although the military is stronger, Chen Wen can't always wear Shang Fang's sword every day and wait to fight Cao Conglong. And the most terrifying thing is that Cao Conglong is a civilian official supervising the army, and in addition to the edict confirming his power to supervise the army, he must also have a holy decree to kill Chen Wen, just like when Wang Jiang was supervising the army of Siming and Tiantai.

This purpose, if you accept it, you must be on guard against possible attacks at any time every day, if you don't take it, it's useless, Cao Conglong has the right to do so in theory.

And the most important thing is that his Jinhua General Soldier and Sun Yu's Jinhua Prefect, as well as all the officials of Jinhua Mansion, even all the officers under Chen Wen except for Li Ruixin, Wu Dengke and Yin Yue, the three deputy chief soldiers, were not appointed by the Lu Jianguo Imperial Court, but only the former Zhejiang Governor Wang Jiang and the temporary appointment of him and Sun Yu, which have no legal basis.

Do your best to do everything every day, lest there be any mistakes or omissions, and often even dreams when you go to bed is how to act next; Killed from Siming Mountain to Tiantai Mountain, from Tiantai Mountain to Jinhua Mansion, and then broke the large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Qing army in Zhejiang after a bloody battle. After more than a year of blood and sweat, in the end, what was exchanged for a sword hanging over his head that could fall at any time, made Chen Wen really not know what to say.

Chen Wen's thoughts continued, but Cao Conglong had already finished reading out the edict, and seeing that Chen Wen had not received the edict for a long time, the anger in his heart was even worse, so that his face had begun to turn pale, and even the generals behind Chen Wen looked at each other.

Seeing this, Chen Guobao, who was in charge of the troops directly under Jinhua Town, hurriedly pulled the corner of Chen Wen's clothes and let out a slight cough.

Forget it, let's cover the water with soldiers.

"Edict."

Seeing Chen Wen's step-by-step five bows and three bows, Cao Conglong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after two months of busyness, he finally had a beginning and an end, and the rest was to instigate Chen Wen to lead the army to take Taizhou Mansion, and then Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, protected Lu Jianguo and landed on the shore.

After the salute, Cao Conglong cordially helped Chen Wen up, but he was just about to announce Lu Jianguo's appointment of the three deputy generals of Chen Wen's original, but he learned from Chen Wen that the three generals were not in Jinhua Mansion now, so he had to give up for the time being.

However, he was just about to continue to say some words of encouragement in front of the generals to win the hearts of the army for Lu Jianguo, but he saw Chen Wen wave his hand, and the group of generals came out after saluting, and only he and Chen Wen were left in the entire Chinese army tent.

The gate of the big tent of the Chinese army has been watched by Zhang Jun, and at this moment, I only heard Chen Wen ask: "Dare to ask Governor Cao, does His Royal Highness plan to let Ben Shuai wave his army to attack Taizhou?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Conglong's heart was shocked, not only did Chen Wen realize this problem so quickly, but more importantly, he was suddenly mentioned by Chen Wen before he could open his mouth, which was not easy to match with the step-by-step rhetoric he was thinking about along the way, so that he felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Cao Conglong nodded, Chen Wen simply flipped out a map of Zhejiang that he had made based on the map of China in his memory and the impressions of the lieutenant general, and spread it on the table.

The map in Chen Wen's memory is a map scanned by satellite in later generations, and the map of this era is like an abstract painting compared to it, and if Chen Wen hadn't marked the text on the map, Cao Conglong would have been afraid that it would be difficult to see what was drawn on it.

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, the title of the new famous general of your dynasty is really well deserved."

"Governor Cao has a good reputation." With a casual and modest sentence, Chen Wen introduced the topic into the topic, Cao Conglong is a civil official of the prison army, so naturally he has to go to the government to announce the edict, and he does not plan to waste time, it is the right way to figure out the intentions of the monarchs and ministers of Lu Jianguo as soon as possible.

Cao Conglong looked at the map, and it was easy to associate the plan they had made before with this map, and seeing that Chen Wen was still waiting, Cao Conglong began to write out the contents of the plan one by one.

"This action is very important, His Royal Highness and the cabinet of the Supervisor thought that the noble lord should lead the army out of Wuyi and Yongkang, enter the immortal residence and go straight to Linhai County; Send a pair of generals to go down to Tiantai from Dongyang to collect Ninghai in the north of Taizhou, in preparation for the Tartars of Ningbo to rush to the aid of Taizhou. At the same time that the noble lord besieged Linhai County, His Royal Highness the Marquis of Dingxi Marquis Army Guards attacked the sea guards from the sea, joined forces with the Jinhua Wang Division, and recovered Taizhou in one fell swoop! ”

This plan poured into the efforts of everyone among the surviving civil officials of the Lu Jian Dynasty except for Zhang Huangyan, who had already gone to the Zhongzuo Institute, and even specially let Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, see it, but Zhang Mingzhen didn't say anything.

Cao Conglong realized that even a veteran like Zhang Mingzhen had "nothing to say", this plan could be described as seamless, but when he finished speaking with great interest, what he saw was Chen Wen's face full of disdain. (To be continued.) )
