Ten years across the sea is a lonely minister, and the good spirit Zhongshan is true.
The quail head righteous flag is out of Chu, and Yan Yunyu has passed through Fujian.
Wang Shichao choked his heart and liver, and his father and old man cried tears.
Looking south at the filial piety of the soldiers, see the big Xuxu Longjin.
In the first year of Meng Chunyue, Zhang Mingzhen, Marquis of Dingxi, wrote with sincerity.
In October of the seventh year of Yongli, Zhang Mingzhen, the Ming army of the former Lu Jian State System who went north, and Zhang Huangyan, the squire of the military department, quickly evacuated after defrauding the county seat of Shanghai. However, when they returned to Chongming, they used Yan Shaoqing, the magistrate of Shanghai, to deceive the gate of Chongming City, and took advantage of the situation to recover Chongming City and stabilize this base.
On the 17th day of the first month of the eighth year of Yongli, Zhang Mingzhen, Liu Kongzhao, Zhang Huangyan and other Ming troops entered the mouth of the Yangtze River in batches by boat, rushed through the flood control areas of the Qing army such as Wolf Mountain, Fushan, Jiangyin, Jingjiang, Menghe, Yangshe, and Sanjiang, and arrived in Guazhou on the 21st.
On the same day, the Ming army went ashore at Jinshan in the northwest of Zhenjiang and seized ten artillery pieces and a large amount of materials such as gunpowder and money and grain from the Qing army. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Huangyan and Liu Kongzhao, who rushed to the sincerity, led 500 soldiers to climb the Jinshan Temple, facing the southeast direction to worship the Ming Tomb of filial piety, inscribed poems and wept.
Sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao is the fourteenth grandson of Liu Bowen, who has the reincarnation of Zhuge in the early Ming Dynasty, and was the governor of Caojiang when he was Chongzhen, and he was one of the troika of Nanjing's capital - the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, the commander of Caojiang and one of the eunuchs. Zhihongguang Dynasty is Ma Shiying's political ally, and the Donglin Party is a treacherous stream in the eyes of the Donglin Party. However, at this time, it was rare among the old lords of the Ming Dynasty to raise troops to resist the Qing Dynasty in the Southern Ming Dynasty.
"This time it went so smoothly, if Xiu Guogong can go north in a big way, it is not a fantasy to think that even if he recovers Nanjing."
After the poem, looking in the direction of Nanjing, Liu Kongzhao, who was still unclear about the attitude of Zhang Mingzhen and others towards Chen Wen, sighed and let out such an exclamation.
"Hmph."
These words obviously didn't quite match Zhang Mingzhen's appetite, and when he heard this, he just snorted, and then stopped talking, leaving Liu Kongzhao there, very embarrassed. However, Zhang Huangyan saw the two of them like this, and turned to Liu Kongzhao and said: "Uncle, the Duke of Xiuguo is still in eastern Zhejiang, and it may not take long for the Tartars to send a large army to help, and the water will not quench the thirst of the near." ”
"What Zhang Shilang said is that I just looked at my Ming Dynasty's stay in the capital, and watched the place where my Liu family's ancestors and ancestors lived for generations being occupied by Tartars, and I really felt uncomfortable."
"Nanjing is the place of Emperor Taizu Gao's dragon rejuvenation, but all loyal people should think about it, this is human nature."
With the ladder handed over by Zhang Huangyan, Liu Kongzhao finally got rid of the embarrassment. This scene was not unimagined by him, but when he first arrived in the army, he still knew very little about the dirty things inside the Lu Domain, and he didn't expect it to come to such a point. So, in secret, he also wrote down the fact that Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, was unhappy with Chen Wen, the Duke of Xiuguo, so as not to touch this bad head again in the future.
It's just that Liu Kongzhao didn't mention it, but Zhang Huangyan picked up the topic again. It's just that the things mentioned are no longer as simple as Liu Kongzhao said.
"According to the planning of the Third Bureau of Catalpa, I am here to respond to the Qin Domain, but the information I just got, it seems that the Tartars in the upper reaches of Nanjing have not made much movement, and it seems that this time I am afraid that we will not be able to wait for the Qin Domain's army."
"Cangshui, this time it's not actually a trip in vain."
"Oh?"
"It's true that Qin Fan hasn't arrived, but this time we have figured out the hydrology and tartar defense along the way, and the next time we come back, we will get twice the result with half the effort."
Hearing Zhang Mingzhen's words, Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but nodded. "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, is indeed the right thing for a soldier, and Cangshui has been taught."
Zhang Mingzhen was just a man, and his experience in leading troops independently was just to set up a cottage to resist the Qing Dynasty in eastern Zhejiang, with few soldiers and little food, and the battles he participated in were just to cooperate with Wang Yi to capture Shangyu County. Although he is a squire in the military department, in fact, his military experience is limited to the rote memorization of those military books, but he also has the advantage that although he is stricter, he can listen to the views of the generals, and he does not regard the generals as brave men as other civilian officers who lead the troops.
Mu Weng has been planning for a long time, and the Duke of Xiuguo, the Duke of Zhangguo and the Qin Domain have also agreed with this, among which the Qin Domain will come to the southwest this year. It's the Duke of Zhangguo and the Duke of Xiuguo, the tiger is on the side, but I'm afraid that they won't be able to kill the Nanzhili division for the time being. At that time, the only thing that the Qin Domain's army can count on is us. ”
Although they were ordered by Zheng Chenggong and relied on Fujian for food and salary, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan always tried their best to maintain the independence of the Ming army of the former Lu Jian State system. For Zheng Chenggong, he is more regarded as an ally, just like Xu Fuyuan, a former minister of the Lu Jianguo Dynasty who had fought against the Qing Dynasty in Dinghai Chailou, said: "Lord Daji with the surname of the domain, formed an alliance with the righteousness of Mindao, and became friends with the surname of the domain." ”
This time, the three bureaus of Yingqi came to meet the Qin Fan with a large army, and Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, recommended himself to Zheng Chenggong. On Zheng Chenggong's side, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty was forced to send envoys to negotiate peace when the situation in the southeast deteriorated, it was inconvenient to use the troops and horses of the headquarters for the time being, so they simply let Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan lead the troops north. At least on the surface, there is still the banner of the old minister of the Lu Domain, and it will not delay too many things.
………………
In addition to knowing that Zhang Mingzhen, the general of the Lu Domain, led the army to Zhenjiang, it also learned that Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, decided to send the commander of the Han soldiers in Jiangnan to manage the disposition of the army to lead the army to conquer after consulting with the local Manchu and Han civil and military officials.
For Zhang Mingzhen, the Manchu court did not care very much, although the Lu Jian Dynasty once rebelled in Zhejiang and Fujian, but there were too many internal disputes, but it exhausted its own strength that was not strong enough. Except for the beginning of the Lu Jian Dynasty in eastern Zhejiang, the Manchu Qing Dynasty always suppressed it by relying only on the Qing army in Zhejiang and Fujian, and it can even be said that if the Lu Jian Dynasty itself could have less internal fighting, it would never have been suppressed so easily.
Zhang Mingzhen's partial division, the Manchu court quickly decided to push the problem of suppression to Hong Chengchou and Ma Guozhu, after all, the strength of this Ming army is really not much, it is not enough to pose any threat, and there is no need for Manchurian soldiers to appear for the time being, especially today when the army that went south with Nikan the year before last has just returned to Beijing.
"Your Majesty, Hong Jingluo's excerpt, asked the imperial court to change the establishment of the green camp in the Susong area."
"Oh?"
Susong is the elite area in the south of the Yangtze River, and its taxes are the strong support of the Manchu court, and any decree on the seven prefectures of Susong Changzhen and Hangjiahu must be carefully considered, which is the experience that has been summed up quickly since the Shunzhi pro-government.
“…… With Su Song's commander Zhang Tianlu leading the land division, and Su Song's general Liang Huafeng leading the water division, the local green battalion was transferred, and each expanded to 10,000 officers and soldiers......"
For Hong Chengchou, due to the fiasco in Jinhua half a year ago, in fact, Shunzhi was also very unhappy in his heart, but his mother made it clear at the time: Now almost all the princes and nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty when they entered the customs are dead, and only Hong Chengchou can be counted on in terms of ability, and it is not impossible to change people, but what if the southeast battlefield completely collapses, now with Hong Chengchou sitting in the southeast, at least Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong can't use too much movement for the time being, and there will always be room for turning around when they win time.
"Yes, hand it over to the Ministry of War, and deal with it as soon as possible."
According to the Manchu system, the six departments were divided into two main officials, the Manchu Shangshu and the Han Shangshu, the Manchu Shangshu was in charge, and the Han Shangshu was just a food and painting promise, especially in the early Qing Dynasty.
The current Manchu Shangshu is called Nala * Kadahun, a man of the Manchurian Zheng Red Banner and a Mongolian Gushan Ezhen of the Banner; And Han Shangshu is called Wang Yongji, a native of Gaoyou, Jiangnan, tomorrow Qi Dynasty Jinshi, Chongzhen Dynasty Jiliao Governor, in March last year, he was promoted from the Household Department Zuo Shilang to the Ministry of War. The official was promoted, but the power was less, and this time Hong Chengchou's excerpt waited for the approval of Shunzhi, and it was directly handed over to Kadahun, who refined the preparation, and he would be taboo even if he went up to take a look.
Soon, Kadahun decided on the establishment. After a while, the reply to Hong Chengchou's letter requesting the preparation of Su Song's green camp was sent to Shunzhi's imperial case.
"Liang Huafeng, the chief soldier of Su Song, led the transfer of 10,000 officers and soldiers from each battalion. Changed to a water division. Garrisoned in Chongming. The two associations have two deputy generals. There are 2,000 water divisions in each category. Garrisoned in Wusong. Guerrilla Six. There are 1,000 water divisions for each one. Each sand in Chongming is under the jurisdiction of Liang Huafeng, the chief soldier of the water division. Admiral Zhang Tianlu was in charge of the land division. Cut the shortage of general officers in Suzhou. Please also from the passage of Hong Chengchou. ”
The establishment of the green battalion in the Susong area was adjusted in order to better suppress the Barefoot Zhang San of the Taihu Baitou Army, the Qian Yingkui of the Susong Righteous Army, and the Ming army of Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, who had recently captured Chongming. It's just that in today's southeast battlefield, these rebels are just scabies for the Manchus, not even scabies, and the real headaches for them are Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong, especially Chen Wen.
In this year, the Manchu Qing Dynasty lost the territory of three prefectures and several counties, and a four-provincial capital was suppressed, as a result, Shi Tingzhu died, and also lost thousands of Han army and eight banners, as well as tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers. The green battalion soldiers are okay, anyway, the Han people have them, and they can still recruit if they don't have them, but for those Manchu Qing who have only more than 20,000 old backgrounds, they have lost so many at once, and it is clear that they have cut off a few fingers with a knife, how can it be a painful word.
The loss of territory and soldiers, this is still secondary, at least the southeast battlefield did not appear in the southwest battlefield, a Han prince died in the first war, and then a Manchurian prince died in the first war, and it didn't take long to win the first war, but the loss of soldiers and generals was really a lot.
However, the southeast is a land of wealth, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to support the Eight Banners and the Green Camp all thanks to the wealth of the southeast. Now that Chen Wen was approaching Hangzhou, the civil and military forces of Zhejiang also asked for the tax to be kept for themselves so that more green battalions could be trained and more fortifications built. The truth is this, but in this way, even if these full-aged treasury has accumulated a lot of money and grain, it is also like cutting meat for them.
"The Eight Banners of Manchuria are the foundation of my Qing Dynasty, how can I feed my minions without money and food. issued an order to reprimand Xiao Qiyuan, I see that he doesn't want to do it as a governor. ”
In fact, Shunzhi was really right, and even said in Xiao Qiyuan's heart, this Zhejiang governor of Laoshizi really didn't want to do it. But no matter how much money was spent, he couldn't dredge it, and no one in the government and the opposition wanted to take over this mess, so he could only support it there.
After Xiao Qiyuan's request was refuted, his cronies and important ministers Ao Bai handed over the results of the death of Prince Jing Nikan in the first battle of Hengyang.
From the successor of Prince Nikan and the general of Ningnan Jingkou, who presided over the battle of the fork in the road, and the high-ranking generals such as Beleba Sihan, Beizi Zakana, Muryou, Gushan Ezhen Handai, Yild, and Alasan were either dismissed or dismissed, or even both. The severity of the treatment is very rare in the Qing Dynasty. However, seeing the results of this disposition, Shunzhi breathed a sigh of relief, as if the depression that had been accumulated in his chest for a long time had been blown away a lot.
"Has the pension for the fallen soldiers of the First World War at the fork in the road been decided?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the missing soldiers have not yet been determined, and they cannot be determined for the time being. It's just that the slave counts, so why do you need a hundred thousand taels of silver. ”
A pension of more than 100,000 taels of silver, how many soldiers with eight banners have to die. Once he thought of this, Shunzhi couldn't help but grit his teeth, and his hatred for Natunqi was even greater.
"Give as much as you want."
"The slaves obey the order, and the slaves thank the emperor for the grace of the emperor's families for those slaves."
After dealing with these things, Shunzhi was also a little tired, last year, there was almost nothing smooth, the four provincial capitals in the southeast were defeated, and Hong Chengchou only barely maintained the front; Although the battle at the fork in the southwest was won, the Manmeng Eight Banners lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and the army was extremely exhausted.
However, if this continues, this year has just begun, Yungui Sun Kewang, Guangxi Li Dingguo, Fujian Zheng Chenggong and Zhejiang Chen Wen, these four guys will never stop. Even if it is on the good side, Sun Kewang lost his troops due to the fork in the road, and he needs time to rest, and Liu Qingtai on Zheng Chenggong's side has already begun to negotiate peace with him, but Li Dingguo and Chen Wen, the two most capable of fighting, will definitely start fighting again.
Perhaps, now for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is the greatest good thing that Li Dingguo and Chen Wen do not have the opportunity to join forces, otherwise I am afraid that Huang Taiji may not be able to withstand the fatal blow.
"We must not let Li Dingguo and Chen Wen have a chance to join forces, the Fujian side asked Liu Qingtai to try his best to appease, and let Zheng Zhilong write another letter to his son to deal with the matter of appeasement, so that the imperial court can concentrate on dealing with that Chen Wen."
"The minions obey." Beside Ao Bai, another Shunzhi henchman, Sonny Yinghe, and then said his thoughts: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that Zheng Chenggong asks for Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi and other provinces, and the imperial court can bargain with him, so he might as well bring Chaozhou forward, as long as he is willing to shave his hair and surrender, Chaozhou will be given to him." ”
This Chaozhou is different from other places, although it is a Manchu occupation area, but Hao Jiushang, the chief soldier of Chaozhou, is a two-sided wallhead, swaying between the Ming and Qing dynasties over and over again, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has the heart to deal with him in the morning. However, now the situation in the southeast is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Manchu Qing, so they did not dare to move lightly, and now they will give Chaozhou to Zheng Chenggong, so they can not only appease, but also use Zheng Chenggong's hand to get rid of Hao Jiushang and weaken Zheng Chenggong's forces, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. As for Zheng Chenggong, after eliminating Chen Wen, with the wealth and military advantage of the southeast, it is not easy to fiddle with it?
Shunzhi quickly figured out the twists and turns in Sony's suggestion, and prepared to issue an order to Hong Chengchou and Liu Qingtai, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, to let them handle it according to the plan. Who knows, as soon as the will is finished, Hong Chengchou's new fold has arrived.
Hong Chengchou's excerpts were sprinkled with a large article, and even sent back the 1 auxiliary minister of the Great Inner Guard King 1 for Shunzhi's inquiry, but after reading the excerpts, Shunzhi showed a solemn look and could not disperse for a long time.
Sonny and Aobai, unlike other ministers, are Shunzhi's most relied on henchmen. Seeing Shunzhi like this here, Wu Liangfu, the most favored eunuch of Shunzhi, handed over the excerpt to Sony, and the two of them got together to carefully read the meaning of Hong Chengchou's excerpt.
However, like Shunji, Sony and Ao Bai are also solemn after reading the excerpts. And among the excerpts that caused them to do this, the most core sentence was - Shi Taixi's long skills to control Mingkou! (To be continued.) )
