Because the Ming army sent troops at a time when the Qing army's troops in Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces were tight, there were only a few strategies left for Chen Jin.

Chen Wen did not know that the reason why Chen Jin was unwilling to temporarily abandon Longyou County to preserve his vitality as he did when he abandoned Jinhua Mansion City was that in addition to military considerations, the political status of Quzhou and the impact of frequent abandonment of Quzhou, as well as the operation of the Quzhou merchant group among the top ten merchant gangs of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the "Longyou Merchant Gang", also really affected his choice.

Military is the continuation of politics, although Chen Jin can't say this truth, but he has been in officialdom for many years, and there are some similar understandings in his mind.

At present, although the location of the superintendent battalion cannot be determined, the general deployment of the Qing army seems to be in front of him. After the results of the deduction were thoroughly explained, Lou Jiye began to explain the Ming army's countermeasures.

"According to the pre-war deduction, our department lacked a naval division to respond, so General Li led the Nantang battalion to cross the stream upstream to avoid the water camp of the Tartars. After breaking through Lingxi, cover the follow-up troops to follow up, and suppress the activities of the Tartar water camp in Lingxi by means of shipwrecks and iron cables, so as to protect the smooth and safe flow of the follow-up grain route. ”

Ming repaired the plank road and darkened Chen Cang, which was a helpless choice when the Ming army's water battalion could not afford the ability to assist in the attack. In order to carry out this plan, Chen Wen disguised some of the Jinhua Mansion people accompanying him as soldiers of the Nantang Battalion in order to delay the discovery of the Qing army as quickly as possible, while the Nantang Battalion, which set off later, only died down after the main force swaggered westward and marched southward from the edge of the basin near the mountain range to the upper reaches of Lingxi.

At this moment, in the north and south camps of the Ming army, Chen Wen's general flags, as well as the battalion flags of the three battalions of Nantang, Yiwu, and Dongyang, as well as the garrison flags of each garrison team, were all there, and the placement of military tents was also carried out with the number of garrison troops requisitioned and transferred from the three battalions. It's just how long to be able to hide. But it's still unknown.

Seeing that Lou Jiye's general Ming Army's layout had been explained, Chen Wen stood up. Seeing the coach get up, all the generals present immediately stood up and listened to Chen Wen's instructions.

"An hour ago, the military intelligence had arrived, and the Nantang battalion was close to the planned place to cross the river. The river crossing will begin tomorrow afternoon. In order to attract the attention of the Tartars, the army will begin to force the Lingxi to cross the Lingxi after breakfast tomorrow. The Yiwu battalion took the lead, the Dongyang battalion and the troops disguised as the Nantang battalion took the rear, and the rest of the garrison troops stayed in the big battalion. ”

The Qing army has the advantage of water conservancy, and it is possible to send a water battalion to carry the army at any time to sneak attack the rear of the Ming army, so ......

"The soldiers are fast, and after breaking through Lingxi, they quickly besieged Longyou County. Mr. Zhao Qian, has the location of the shipwreck and the lock river been selected? ”

Hearing this, the former captain of the "toy soldier" of the Nantang Battalion Engineer Team immediately surrendered his hand and said: "Return to the marshal." The humble post has personally led people to determine the location, and he will not let the Tartars use the Lingxi waterway to interfere with the progress of the king's master. ”

"Good." After saying that, Chen Wen shouted loudly: "Gentlemen, the heart of the Tartar who killed my Zhejiang Wang Shi will not die, and he plans to encircle and suppress our department after the Tartars in Jiangxi eliminate the local Wang Shi. It's just that the power of Wang Shi is far stronger than they imagined. And tomorrow, we will completely quench the desires in their hearts! ”

"The last general and others must obey the orders of the commander!"

………………

It was night, and the Ming army, which was preparing to feint to attack Lingxi, was still making its last rest. And at this time. In the Ruquan Pavilion in front of the Yazuo of Dongyang County in the hinterland of the Ming army's occupation area, Cao Conglong, the governor of Zhejiang, has also completed this consolation aimed at calming people's hearts. I plan to leave tomorrow for the next stop of the trip, Yiwu County.

It's just that before leaving, it is still necessary to summon local civil and military officials. However, compared to when I first arrived here a few days ago, except for personally visiting Xinchang Boyu Guowang, who temporarily lives here, everyone else is different from meeting together. This time, Cao Conglong chose to take the trouble to summon them one by one, and the first one was Yan Zhiheng, the magistrate of Dongyang County.

For this county lord. Cao Conglong had some understanding from Lu Wenlong's mouth before, and the meeting a few days ago and the observation in the past few days have also confirmed this.

"In the past few Japanese official visits, Brother Yu Yan, the father of Dongyang County, has many words of praise, which is really a model for my generation."

Hearing Shangguan's praise, Yan Zhiheng was overjoyed. Hurriedly got up and said: "Fu Jun praises falsely, the lower official just adheres to the will of the old scripture and the teachings of Fu Jun, and abides by his duty, which is not worth mentioning." ”

Cao Conglong smiled and signaled that he didn't need to be polite, and then continued: "Brother Yan is humble, the year before last, when the late Wang Jingluo paid a visit to His Royal Highness the Prison State, he mentioned the many officials of Dalan Mountain, which helped him a lot. Among them, in front of His Royal Highness the Prison State, there are many praises for Yan Zhixian's righteousness, which seems to be nothing but a lie these days. ”

Yan Zhiheng was born as a child, and later followed Wang Yi to accumulate merit and was promoted to the main book, and after Chen Wen captured Jinhua Mansion, he relied on his qualifications to obtain the official position of the head of a county. But it can't be called square and square, but the words pedantic and selfish are true. However, for his status, he has never seen King Lu, and he has always been full of awe for this "Emperor Ming Orthodoxy", and it is naturally an honor to be praised by the deceased old boss in front of Lu Jianguo.

Only this time, before he could open his mouth to thank him, he only heard Cao Conglong sigh. "Therefore, Wang Jinglu is fair and selfless, and he is a hundred times stronger than his own officials, but it is a pity that he died young, which is really a loss to the dynasty."

"I want to think that when the Tartars went south, Hongguang Tianzi hunted in the north, and the Lu domain descended to the Qing Dynasty, my Zhejiang gentry supported His Royal Highness King Dai Lu to supervise the country, and the world knew that the artifact had a master, and the world of Emperor Gao was not dead. Therefore, Wang Jingluo started in eastern Zhejiang, set up Dalan Mountain, repeatedly defeated the master, and the great cause of His Royal Highness in the prison country is also a great achievement, and this is also indispensable to the efforts of the princes under the command of Wang Jingluo. ”

"It's just that right now, His Royal Highness Jianguo is in Fujian and is being bullied by the Zheng family, while Lin Haibo insists on an expedition to Quzhou. As a prisoner, the official is powerless to advise, and every time he thinks about this, he is anxious, lest the bravery of this man will ruin the great affairs of the dynasty. ”

In Yan Zhiheng's impression, Chen Wen has always been an image of a domineering general, especially on the way south to flee to Xinchang, Chen Wen forced his daughter to change cars on foot, which always made him indignant. It's just that with the successive victories of the military operations behind the Siming Mountain Palace and the recovery of Jinhua, Chen Wen's status in this Dalanshan Ming Army Group is getting higher and higher, and now he has completely overwhelmed the civilian officials, and he does not want to lose the opportunity to be promoted because of offending Chen Wen.

"What Fu Jun said is that martial artists don't know how to take care of the overall situation after all, and the affairs of the dynasty still depend on the actions of scholars such as us!"

Seeing that Yan Zhiheng seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Chen Wen, Cao Conglong didn't say much, but kept talking about the glory of the Ming army in Dalanshan when Wang Yi was alive, but after Chen Wen arrived, he suffered a fiasco on the shore of Siming Lake. And if it weren't for the internal strife between Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Chaoxian, which led to the leakage of military information, the Ming army would not have lost the Battle of Zhoushan in the case of a great victory on the northern front. All in all, the rights of military generals must be controlled, otherwise it will be a disaster.

This kind of argument is very normal among civil officials, that is, wherever it is said, scholars will also believe that Cao Conglong is not afraid of power, and even Chen Wen cannot do anything to him for two "complaints".

Finding that there were similarities in concepts, the two began to talk freely, and Yan Zhiheng did not leave in a hurry until after dinner. Since he was about to leave tomorrow, Cao Conglong then summoned the county commander, the chief bookkeeper, and the county lieutenant of Dongyang County, as well as the commander of the local garrison, the guerrilla general, Liu Cheng. However, compared to Yan Zhiheng, most of these people just chatted for a while and then ordered tea to send guests, but Liu Cheng stayed for a while.

After Liu Cheng left, Cao Conglong got up and entered the second entrance, and said to Lu Wenlong, who had been hiding there: "Master Lu's book is correct, Yan Zhixian has indeed been dissatisfied with Na Wufu for a long time. ”

Lu Wenlong is the chief secretary of Jinhua County, and it stands to reason that he should organize people's husbands, deliver grain and grass, and stabilize the people's hearts for the Ming army in Jinhua County at this moment. It's just that after Chen Wen left, Cao Conglong brought Lu Wenlong to inspect the county on the grounds that he was familiar with the county officials, whether it was Sun Yu or the magistrate of Jinhua County, there was nothing they could do, so they had to let it go.

"Don't be careless about the army, although this Yan Zhiheng is pedantic, he is quite selfish, and he is the most grassy character. If the Fu army is not enough to overpower that Wufu, his people will not take into account the duty of any civil officials to be in the same spirit. ”

Seeing that Cao Conglong nodded, Lu Wenlong continued: "The top priority is to obtain military power as soon as possible, and only when you have the strength in your hands can you speak hard, and that Wufu had a battalion of elite soldiers to squeeze out Mao Dudu, and this matter is the top priority." ”

"That's true." After that, Cao Conglong squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and then said to Lu Wenlong: "You will leave for the south tomorrow, and you must convince that Zhou Qingui." Official positions and assignments can be granted to him, but the title still needs to be carefully valued. ”

"The lower officer obeyed. It's just Fujun, Xinchangbo's side ......"

Hearing Yu Guowang's title, Cao Conglong was unhappy in his heart. Yu Guowang was sick, and when he talked about the situation of Lu Jianguo when he met before, he looked loyal, but his person had obviously been confused by Chen Wen's success, and when he just hinted that he wanted to divide power, he immediately ushered in this person's dissuasion, it seems that in Yu Guowang's heart, only Chen Wen has the ability to compete with the Manchus on land, and what others do is like making trouble, which is simply unreasonable.

"Xin Changbo is sick, I'm afraid I won't be able to lead the troops to fight, so let's choose someone else."

After saying this, Cao Conglong Meng recalled the subtle change in his expression when the military general hinted at him to add an official to the knighthood, and then complained about the new policy of Jinhua Mansion.

"Perhaps, those left-behind generals who are still in Jinhua Mansion can be appropriately wooed, and maybe there will be an unexpected joy." (To be continued.) )
