Chapter 257: Expelling the Tartars and Restoring China

[Thanks to the book friend 'Great Love Wood = Rebirth' 588 Reward]

At night, the full moon rose, and a quiet light sprinkled the land with the silver mist of moonlight.

In the backyard of the Shen Mansion in the north of Lushan County. Shen Guozhen and her son Shen Shiying, who were embarrassed to stay in a corner of the Land Temple in Zhoujiakou, are now well-dressed and full of red faces, sitting on the stone table and stone bench under the weeping willows by the pool, drinking to the moon.

Fujian is doing things, and the beacon fire is burning Lingnan, okay, great. More than half of the land of Fujian has not been paid to the Manchu Dynasty, and such a fierce uprising shook the world, so that the Shen family father and son really saw the hope of overthrowing the Manchu Dynasty and creating the Han family again, and saw the 'brilliance' that was ten times more brilliant than the 'brightness' they thought at the beginning!

Shen Shiying is still a sixteen-year-old boy, and for Chen Ming, who is only two or three years older than him, but is so 'far-sighted', he really admires the five-body throw. He is very clear about the origin of the hidden camp, the supreme weapon in the darkness of the Han army, and he also knows that the layout of the dark camp in the southeast was supported by Chen Ming at the beginning. Now that Taiwan is uprising, Fujian is uprising, and major events that affect the general trend of the world have come one after another, which has dealt a great blow to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is difficult for people not to attribute these credits to Chen Ming's head.

"Dad, now that Fujian's military forces are extremely empty, heaven and earth will suddenly raise righteousness, kill the Tartar government by surprise, and it will definitely be able to sweep Fujian. At that time, not only Zhejiang will be in danger, but also Guangdong and Jiangxi. It is very beneficial for the governor of Dadu to establish himself in Nanjing. And the governor of Changzhou and the elite of Fujian and Zhejiang were wiped out in a battle, and the threat to the south disappeared, and now the troops are going north to northern Jiangsu, if they can sweep Huai'an in a war......" Shen Shiying's eyes flashed with bright light, if Chen Ming could sweep away the Huai'an Qing army in northern Jiangsu in one fell swoop, then it was really possible for the Han army to gain a foothold in Nanjing forever.

From Henan to Hubei, from Hubei to Nanjing, ...... prospects, the prospects are not too good.

Chen Ming's main army returned from northern Jiangsu, even if he repaired in the city of Nanjing for a few more days, and did not immediately march into northern Jiangsu, the army went south, east, and even west, which was a huge threat to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. And now the entire Jiangnan is helpless to be completely eroded!

The Shen family father and son are from Zhejiang, and they were born in Chongde County, Zhejiang. The Shen family is a scholarly family in Chongde for generations, with a big family and many branches. Some of his clan are obsessed with scientific research, and there are endless people who show off their talents, but there are also some people who are not interested in scientific research, such as Shen Guozhen, Shen Shiying, father and son, and Shen Zaikuan.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Confucian family in Chongde County who lived in seclusion, and this person was Lu Liuliang.

Lu Liuliang respected Zhu Piwang for learning, that is, he respected Zhu Xi, promoted the essence of Confucianism, refined the "Four Books", and distinguished the difference between Yixia and Xia. Such an idea falls on the current Fu Han army, which is very anachronistic. Chen Ming liked Wang Yangming very much and sneered at Zhu Xi. But it doesn't matter, Lu Liuliang has been dead for many years. Death is great, and what the Fu Han Army is seeking now is only Lu Liuliang's 'spirit'.

Yongzheng scolded Lu Liuliang in "The Mystery of Dayi Jue": "Under the world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Lu Liuliang has served me with virtue and morality, and has his net worth and raised his children and grandchildren for decades, but he does not know the meaning of unification! It is because Lu Liuliang insists that "the distinction between Huayi is greater than that of the monarch and the minister", and his integrity and thoughts have a great influence on Chongde students.

Shen Zaikuan, the ancestor of the Shen family's father and son, is Yan Hongkui's disciple and Lu Liuliang's second disciple. In the sixth year of Yongzheng, he was arrested in the Zeng Jing case, and his poetry collection has words such as "Lu Shen does not have to be flooded, who is the old frontier for Shenzhou". It was accused by the Qing court of deliberately ridiculing the imperial court. Yongzheng was killed in December of the tenth year. His descendants were all punished according to the law, and the side branches were exiled to the northeast. Shen Guozhen was still a doll less than ten years old, less than sixteen years old, so she survived.

In addition to the deaths of Shen Zaikuan, Huang Fuxian, Che Dingfeng, Che Dingben, Sun Yongke, Zhou Jinghe and others, their families were also killed or demoted to slaves, and Fang Mingchou and Jin Ziqi were also involved, who were dismissed from life, with a hundred rods and exiled for 3,000 li; Chen Zutao, Shen Yunhuai, Shen Chengzhi, Dong Luyin, Li Tianwei, Fei Dingren, Wang Lifu, Shi You, Shen Doushan, Shen Huihou, Shen Linyou, and others were dismissed from teaching, raised, imprisoned, and born with 100 rods and sentenced to three years in prison.

But so many injured people, after hearing the news of the uprising of the Fuhan Army in Henan, they rushed over thousands of miles away, but only Shen Guozhen and Shen Shiying father and son.

And Shen Guozhen himself is not an unborn talent to be precise, he is a scholar who hates the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he still reads Cheng Zhu Lixue's set, but the pen is relatively slippery. The governance proposition and government system of the Fu Han Army are obviously very different from science and even Confucianism, which is nothing to Shen Guozhen, as long as he can overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and avenge the country and hate the family, the Fu Han Army will not follow science if he does not follow science, and if he does not expose Confucianism, he will not show Confucianism, Shen Guozhen does not mind. Because he is not a person who admits death, if Shen Guozhen admits death and does not bend, he would have died in the Northeast a long time ago. At the beginning, in order to survive, in order to live better, he also endured nausea and did a lot of nausea in order to give himself a certain amount of free space, and the Shen family and grandfather were able to take the risk of absconding back to Guannai from the northeast after Shen's death, and absconded back to their hometown in Zhejiang, where they left when they were young.

Shen Guozhen is now the deputy editor-in-chief of the "Central Plains Daily", when Shen Guozhen was exiled and returned to exile, when he was a child and a teenager, he also drank a lot of ink with his clansmen and other parents who were exiled together. What he learned was science, and he had the essence of Zhu Xi's study, but Shen Guozhen himself was not a disciple of science. After the father and son fled back to the gate, they had to live incognito, and their lives were very hard. This kind of suffering in life, combined with the thrilling difficulties of the father and son on the way to escape from the Kanto region, has created a different adventurous spirit of the father and son from others, or Shen Guozhen, who is forced by life, has become more 'flexible and freewheeling'.

The father and son were absolute realists, not idealists.

Shen Shiying is now studying in a cadre school, does not engage in politics, does not have the right to law, and is not interested in engineering and miscellaneous subjects, he studied military affairs.

At present, many of the combat examples involved in the military cultivation of the Fu Han Army, as well as specific training courses and subjects, are all taken from Chen Ming, which is simply silently cultivating Chen Ming's admirers. What about Shen Guozhen? Sitting in the position of deputy editor-in-chief of "Zhongyuan Daily", there is not too much news coming from all directions, of course, I know how great Chen Ming's contribution is in the process of establishing the General's Mansion.

It can be said that Chen Ming's role is greater than that of his Lao Tzu and the current general Chen Hui of the General's Mansion, and the two fathers and sons have become admirers of Chen Ming.

Now that Fujian Heaven and Earth will revolt, Lingnan Beacon is burning, and the world is in chaos, a feeling of great events can be expected to rise in the chests of Shen Guozhen and Shen Shiying's father and son.

"Ying'er, how similar is the current situation to the end of the Ming Dynasty. The general's mansion in southwest Henan was the original Kwantung region, which attracted most of the elite soldiers and generals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and wasted the Manchu Qing Dynasty not knowing how much food and material resources there were. And the Mixed Yuan Sect Army in Shandong, the Heaven and Earth Society Righteous Army in Fujian and Taiwan, and even the Dadu Overseer Army that swept across the Yangtze River, that was the growing Liukou at the beginning.

The Manchu Qing divided troops everywhere, gathered troops everywhere, they besieged the general's mansion, and they surrounded and suppressed the mixed Yuanjiao and the metropolitan governor from all sides. The Mixed Yuan Sect drilled into the mountains of Luxi, like a fish in water, and tens of thousands of troops worked in vain; Most of the latter governors used their troops like gods, and the expeditionary force swept across the Yangtze River, and the more they fought, the stronger they became. The lake is eroded, the south of the Yangtze River is eroded, and now the smoke is also burning in Lingnan......" Shen Guozhen raised his head and drank all the spirits in the cup, a layer of blush appeared on his face, but a pair of eyes were shining. "For the sake of my father, this Tartar's country can't be saved!"

This is a very strong and strong feeling, obviously the Manchu Qing still has a lot of strength, but Shen Guozhen just feels that the Manchu Qing is going to be finished, it is really going to be finished.

He looked up at the sky and saw a full moon hanging high in the deep night sky, with a few white clouds drifting around, and the moon emitting a faint white light. Shen Guozhen feels that today's full moon is particularly good, although today is July 15, not August 15.

The hazy moonlight casts mysterious shadows in the pool, and the surface of the water casts a floating silver glow, like a school of silverfish jumping there.

……

is also in Lushan, under the same bright full moon, Peng Zhongrui is borrowing wine to kill his sorrows.

The clear full moon in the sky was really like a silver platter, and the silver moonlight reflected a few light clouds like feathers, which was wonderful. But Peng Zhongrui didn't appreciate the beauty at all.

His heart was full of sadness and sentimentality. What happened to the Qing Dynasty? Not to mention the general's mansion, a group of rabble of the mixed Yuan sect could not be quickly cut off, and the previous uprising in Taiwan was full of disasters, foreign bandits were rampant, and the trap of Haitan was unbelievable. Up to now, almost all of Fujian's eight places have fallen into the chaos of the militia, this is Fujian. Located in the southeast, the head is connected to Zhejiang, the end is Guangdong, Fujian is in chaos, Zhejiang and Guangdong are not at peace, and the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is about to be completely corrupted.

It's just that in the Peng family, unlike the Shen family, where father and son work together, his children have very opinions about Peng Zhongrui's sentimentality.

"Mother, you have to persuade your father. Now in the entire cadre school, everyone is happy, just his sad face, and he looks like he has nothing to love. If the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty really come to Lushan, and the Fu Han army is really defeated, can the Qing soldiers still see his sad face all day long, and spare our family? Peng Zhongrui's son was very depressed about his father. To put it very disrespectfully, his father is born and does not die, which in itself is already a loss of discipline to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Then simply obey the Han army? What's more, the prospects of the current Fuhan Army are very wonderful. But he wore a robe and a horse coat all day long, and he looked like a loyal Qing Dynasty, which made them suffer discrimination in daily life.

Peng Zhongrui's son felt that his father seemed to be loyal to the Manchus, but his sincerity was not as good as Lu Liuliang. The latter's deeds have been published in the newspapers a lot these days, and I heard that some of Lu Xue's descendants have been the head of the newspaper, and they have said a lot of good things about Lu Liuliang in the newspaper, and they have also washed away some of the stigma on Lu Liuliang.

For example, Lu Liuliang changed his name to Guanglun in the tenth year of Shunzhi, and he should pass the examination, but he has always kept in touch with Zhang Huangyan and others who insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty. Yongzheng accused him in "The Mystery of Dayijue" that he "took the exam in the Shunzhi years, had to be for all beings, and after repeated examinations in the years, with his superficial talent, every high-ranking person, stealing false names, and boasting about the township...... According to his years, Lu Liuliang has been a living of this dynasty for more than ten years, and he is easy to worry about, and he is suddenly called the remnant of Ming. Those who have rebelled through the ages ......"

"Zhongyuan Daily" whitewashed Lu Liuliang on this matter. The penmanship is detailed on this examination experience, and Lu Liuliang has repeatedly expressed deep remorse and self-blame in his subsequent poems, and Lu Liuliang has always used "stumbling" to compare this test: "Who teaches to lose the fishing rock under his feet, and his heart is violated everywhere every year." The clothes and hats in the Yaji picture are changed, and the names in the party monument are not. Gou Quanshi believes that it is easy to talk about it, and the governor is the least hungry to death. You can also bury yourself when you wake up, and you can return without shame to wrap your head in cloth. ”

Peng Zhongrui's son felt that his father was also a 'stumbling moment', and Peng Zhongrui had always been loyal to the Qing Dynasty. But obviously, if Peng Zhongrui refuses the olive branch extended by the Fu Han Army, the Peng family will suffer very badly, so he can be regarded as an "official" of the "Fu Han Army". Instead of Lu Liuliang, he lived in seclusion. In the end, he was forced to cut his hair and become a monk.

Fujian Heaven and Earth will revolt, the flames of war burned in an instant, after the news reached Lushan, many people with vision felt that the situation had changed greatly, and the troubled times were really coming. The advantage of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was heavily slashed, and although the Fu Han army did not dare to say that it would have the last laugh in this 'great world dispute', the chances of victory were greatly increased. The General's Mansion went from having no chance of winning at the beginning to having at least two or three points of certainty. This made the hearts of the people in the entire base area feel uplifted.

Since the day before yesterday, the three major newspapers have repeatedly introduced the great momentum and important role of the Fujian Tiandihui uprising, and they have really helped the Han army a lot. Its significance is much greater than that of the Mixed Primitarian Revolt. In particular, Chen Ming also defeated the elite of Lu Yong in Fujian and Zhejiang in Changzhou, almost annihilating more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and cooperating with the uprising of Fujian Tiandihui, which is a proper double happiness.

Everywhere the newspaper went, the military and civilians rejoiced. This is a shot in the arm, which will make the already good morale of the base even more high-pitched and excited. Since the uprising of the Mixed Yuan Sect, the morale of the base areas has always been good, and the military government of the Han Dynasty after the summer harvest was able to keep its word, which made the foundation of the general's mansion more consolidated. The main force of the army, the refugees and displaced people in Yunyang, have been well resettled, and the treatment of military families and their families has been even better, which has also made the morale and cohesion of the army higher and more stable.

Last month, it was Taiwan, and now it is Fujian, and thousands of miles away in the southeast there have been uprisings of the people one after another, and the scale is huge, and it has already swept through most of Fujian provinces. This made the soldiers feel that they were not alone. Listening to the endless comments in the newspapers, and listening to the exaggerated utility and praise of those pens, many soldiers had the impression that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was about to collapse.

Whether the Manchu Qing Dynasty is going to collapse or not is not something that can be done by a group of pens and writing commentary articles, it is to divide the superiority on the battlefield.

The area north of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu.

After Chen Ming Changzhou destroyed the elite of Lu Yong in Fujian and Zhejiang in the First World War, the threat to the south of Nanjing ceased to exist for a short time. The Qing army in Jiangsu had just been beaten by the Fu Han army, and the artillery group used hot bombs to beat the banner people living in Suzhou City, and they didn't know how many people died in the fire caused by the shelling, and how to find a new place for these masters after the fire made the Suzhou government even more embarrassed and made the people of Suzhou angry. There is also the sweep of the naval division battalion of the Fu Han Army on the west mountain of Dongshan, the destruction and ravage of the towns around Taihu Lake, and the time for the Qing soldiers in Suzhou to recuperate is not enough, so they will not immediately stab the back vest of the Han army.

And the 15,600 elite soldiers of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Lu Yong, especially the tens of thousands of Fujian Green Battalion soldiers in the middle, were beaten by the Fu Han Army in the first battle of Changzhou, and the remaining remnants of the defeated generals have completely lost their fighting spirit and combat effectiveness. The Qing army south of Nanjing was like this bear in the short term, and after the Han army moved north, the vest was naturally very safe.

Now Chen Ming's calculation is very clear, the army crossed the Yangtze River from Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, and Yangzhou was partly to fight the river and directly enter Gaoyou Prefecture to restore the water and land connection between Yangzhou and Gaoyou, and the cavalry battalion was specially designed to deal with the Manchu Eight Banners horse team; As for the team in the direction of Zhenjiang, it is to start from Taixing, push to Rugao, cut off the contact line between the Qing army in Nantong and Haimen and the Qing army in northern Jiangsu, and then look at the progress of the Fu Han army in Gaoyou Prefecture, if the latter is smooth, it will go east from Gaoyou Prefecture, recapture Xinghua County, and attack the Qing troops in Taizhou in the south and north. At that time, if the Qing army still does not retreat, then the north and south will attack and eat them in one fell swoop; If the Qing army knew of the opportunity to retreat, the Han army would still take two steps from north to south, along the Yunyan River in the north, all the way to sweep the area near the sea in northern Jiangsu, Jiangsu, and east of Sheyang Lake. Threaten Huai'an City from the east and avoid the threat of Gaoyou Lake, a 'hanging lake' on the ground. The South Road marched straight east, swept Nantong Prefecture again, and even attacked Haimen Hall.

On the water, the Fu Han Army is an overseas naval division that has no choice but to defeat the Qing army, but on land, the main force of the Fu Han Army is really not afraid of the Qing army.

After the second sweep of Jiangnan returned to Nanjing, the army had just been repaired for two days, but it had smoothed out the merits in the previous battle, and then promoted and promoted, plus a series of material and spiritual rewards, and the main force immediately went to Jiangbei. The morale and energy of the troops have declined to varying degrees.

"The Metropolitan Governor, the soldiers and horses are fighting continuously, the soldiers are all tired, and the fighting spirit is low, it is not the image of the winner." Liu Dezhao persuaded Chen Ming to postpone his march to Jiangbei and let the team rest in Nanjing City for a while.

Chen Ming didn't know that the army was going on the expedition, and his morale was much lower than in the previous battle. He's buggy.

In his eyes, if it is said that the morale of the army when it swept Songjiang for the second time was a raging fire, burning the sky, the morale of the Fu Han army now is an ordinary fire, similar to the Qing army during the Battle of Changzhou.

"Time is running out. The Fujian Tiandi Society had an incident, which shook the whole world. At this moment, it is the time for the enemy to eliminate our strength, why not take advantage of the great opportunity to defeat the enemy, show off the military power and prestige of our army, and pour a pot of fire oil on this fire, when will we wait? ”

"Rest assured. Although the successive campaigns have dampened the fighting spirit of our army, the Fujian Tiandihui uprising swept through Fujian, and the news moved the whole world, and the Qing soldiers knew everything, and their morale would be even more low. ”

Expelled the Tartars and restored China. Perhaps it won't be long before these eight big characters will once again resonate with China.

Chen Ming suddenly thought of Ming Xiaoling in his heart, thought of Zhu Yuanzhang, and when the time came, he would definitely make a grand sacrifice to his old man and his descendants. (To be continued.) )
