In the following days, the phenomenon of disobedience to military law and regulations in the rebuilt Dalanshan Ming Army emerged in an endless stream, but due to Huang Zongxi's favoritism for the first time, any soldier who could get in touch with the few soldiers led by the military law began to regard military law as nothing with the mentality of "there are people above me".

For this reason, there were more and more disputes between Jiang Han, Shen Tiaolun and others, and even Shen Tiaolun could not stand firm because of the crimes committed by his cronies, and continued to insist on the enforcement of military law.

In this way, he soon imitated Chen Wen, and many of Chen Wen imitated Qi Jiguang's military law, which was abolished on reasons such as "the use of the remnants of the eunuch party is too strict and violates the teachings of the sages on benevolence". With this, the military discipline of this Dalanshan Ming army is deteriorating day by day.

From ancient times to the present, the rules and systems of organizations, armies, and countries have often been gradually eaten away by such personal favors and selfish interests little by little, so that they are going to perish. However, in this case, it is in fact just a reproduction of that history!

The original timeline, in the tenth year of Yongli, Shen Tiaolun responded to Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Huangyan, and Chen Liuyu to recover Zhoushan, and began to rebuild the Ming army in Dalanshan in this year. It happened that Wang Jiang set up a bureau to escape from the house arrest in Hangzhou, and joined the new Dalanshan Ming army. In addition to Wang Jiang and Shen Tiaolun, there was also the commander of the rear camp at that time, and the return of Mao Mingshan, the leading fierce general in the Dalanshan Ming Army that year, can be said to be the original team of the Dalanshan Ming Army in the complete Wang Yi era, and there were no outsiders such as the Huang family brothers and the Wanjia brothers.

At that time, the situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty in the coastal area of Zhejiang began to reverse, Zhoushan was recovered, Ma Xin was anyway, and Wang Jiang, who was known for being good at presiding over financial affairs, got out of Hangzhou.

However, half a year later, this once glorious history of the Zhedong Righteous Army not only did not revivenation, but "weakened", up to half a year not only almost no influence, but also did not have the power to fight in the next encirclement and suppression, and finally with the death of Wang Jiang, Shen Tiaolun, and Mao Mingshan for the early Qing Dynasty Simingshan anti-Qing movement drew an end.

Later, Huang Zongxi had this comment on that period of history in "Xing Dynasty Lu * Siming Cottage": "Jiageng winter, the resumption of the roar and the gathering of half a year and flattened. But all thieves who steal donkeys and calves are harming the people in vain. His father killed and took revenge, and his son robbed, and lost his inheritance. ”

In the original period of history, Huang Zongxi was only a bystander and narrator. But now, because of Chen Wen, he has replaced Shen Tiaolun as the initiator of the movement to rebuild the Ming Army in Dalanshan.

However, when the Lu Jian State was first established, the 3,000-person Shizhong Battalion formed by Huang Zongxi's family property was finally destroyed due to military discipline problems. However, as a literati, a literati who had praised Kangxi under the oppression and panic of the literary prison in later generations, naturally could not adhere to the strict military discipline that Wang Yi insisted on when he was alive. Even if he can more or less understand some of the truths in this, he is a member of the scholar class, and he is also a famous scholar of the Donglin Restoration Society without any administrative experience - evaluating others is good, and doing things in person is a layman. With such a foothold on its own, it is naturally impossible to be like Wang Yi back then.

As for the days to come, in "Xing Chaolu * Siming Cottage", will he write as he did as a bystander: "In the spring of Jiawu, the resumption of the whistle gathers for a few months and is peaceful." But all thieves who steal donkeys and calves are harming the people in vain. His father killed people to take revenge, his son robbed, and lost his inheritance".

Time passed day by day, and the military discipline on Dalan Mountain became more and more unbearable, becoming more and more indistinguishable from other Ming and righteous armies of the same era. Perhaps because of this, the funds that Huang Zongxi and others had negotiated with each other were actually in place less and less, so that the daily exercises that originally imitated the Ming Army in Zhejiang were forced to stop again and again.

"I said a long time ago that at that time, we should have recovered Yuyao in one go, and only with stable taxes could we train the army, how could we not advance or retreat like now."

With the relationship between the Wan family and the Huang family, who Wan Sicheng accuses, everyone here is unclear. It's just that even Wang Jiang is indifferent, and there is no possibility for others to refute.

The daily meeting has begun to become a time for complaining, Huang Zongxi listened to it, and the result was the same as yesterday, without any substance, so he broke up the meeting and went to his own business. In the evening, Wang Jiang finished dealing with today's affairs, waved others away after eating, and chatted with Huang Zongxi alone.

"Taichong, with all due respect, I have the impression that Furen is not the kind of person who can't listen to words. It's better for me to persuade him again, after all, Wanxun has the grace of knowing him, and it will always be effective to move him with affection and reason. ”

A series of things that happened in these days made Wang Jiang feel a little disheartened, so that he had to bring up the old things again. However, Huang Zongxi may not have realized what the current situation means, or he may be difficult to ride a tiger, but he still refuses to give in anyway.

"Hehe, uncle, it's not that I haven't told him if I persuaded you, but he actually told me that he was clarifying the morale for Wanxun. The affairs of the scholars are naturally solved by the scholars themselves, and a martial artist, even if it is the prince of the country, will not be able to clarify his morale. ”

"This ......"

"When Wanxun wrote to me about this person, I said that he was a remnant of the eunuchs. Now it seems that when I look away, sooner or later this son will become a demon king who will cause chaos in the world! ”

Huang Zongxi's words were not too surprising to Wang Jiang, in fact, Huang Zongxi's evaluation of Chen Wen these days is similar, but when he revisited the old place, this sentence of the Demon King of the Mixed World still reminded him of something from his memories that had been sealed for many years.

"I remember, someone told Wan Xun and me before that the Wuqu Xingjun of Kaiyang Palace and the Broken Army Star Monarch of the Shaking Light Palace also favor those who are resolute and decisive......"

The study of astrology is already a fashion among folk scholars, and as soon as Wang Jiang's words came out, it immediately aroused Huang Zongxi's interest. Next, he retold the set of theories that Sun Yu heard from Chen Wen to Huang Zongxi, which actually caused this familiar acquaintance who had always been stubborn to think deeply.

"Since it is destined to be the reincarnation of the Broken Army Star Monarch, no matter how much you guide it, it will be useless after all. This is inappropriate, the eldest uncle should think about it carefully. ”

"Then are you so sure that Chen Wen must be the reincarnation of the Broken Army Star Monarch, not the Martial Qu Star Monarch Linfan, or some other Star Monarch?"

"What did you say?"

Huang Zongxi recalled his interactions with Chen Wen in the past few years, his people resisted the decree and disrespected, destroyed the ancestral system of using literature to control martial arts, and even now stretched out his sword to those scholars and doctors who supported the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and also clarified taxes, how to look like a demon king of the mixed world.

But this demon king of the mixed world has never harmed ordinary people based on his own likes and dislikes, and even reduced the taxes of those prefectures and counties that have suffered from military disasters all year round, not at all like Chen Sheng, Huang Chao, and Li Zicheng. And all this happened, with Huang Zongxi's understanding of the Zhejiang Ming Army Group, it was not obtained by civilian officials, but out of Chen Wen's original intention, which was really commendable in such troubled times, so that many people in the Ming army-controlled areas had given Chen Wen and Sun Yu immortal tablets.

If it comes to benevolence, Chen Wen is far more obedient to the teachings of the sage than the vast majority of self-proclaimed benevolent and righteous people in this era, but it is this person who is now pulling out the sharp knife of understanding and can't wait to cut the flesh on the gentry class, so that Huang Zongxi was a little confused for a while.

"We are all mortals, how can we see clearly."

This is the first time in these days that Huang Zongxi has fallen in momentum. But after a while, he probably remembered the history of the struggle between the sages of Donglin and the eunuchs, and remembered how his father died in the edict, and the fighting spirit that had been worn out a lot in the past few days was refilled in his body.

"Whether this is the case or not, we must first start this business, and then rely on the ancestral system of the big and small systems to contain Chen Wen and prevent him from further persecuting scholars."

The words of persuasion blurted out, but they did not convince Wang Jiang as expected, even if it was only superficial persuasion. However, before he could continue, he saw that the door was pushed open, and Shen Tiaolun strode in, and put a letter on the table with a pale face.

The letter was sent by Shen Guomo, but it was not headed and signed. There is only one thing mentioned in it, that is, the government of Shaoxing Prefecture received an order from the governor of Zhejiang, Yamen, to prepare grain, grass and people for the arrival of the army of the Admiral Biaoying. Other than that, there is nothing else.

After last year's war, almost everyone in the four southeastern provinces knew that the Qing army in the southeast had temporarily lost the possibility of annihilating the Ming army in Zhejiang in one fell swoop. Unless there are special circumstances, such as the internal strife of the Zhejiang Ming army and the collapse of itself, the main force of the Manchu Eight Banners Army moving south, or the combat effectiveness of the Green Battalion soldiers has increased to the extent that it is enough to fight the Zhejiang Ming army.

However, none of these things happened at this moment, and the Ming army in Zhejiang had been like an iron plate after a long period of running-in, and even the gentry of the six prefectures were dissatisfied with it and could only adopt a cooperative attitude under pressure; The main force of the Manchu Eight Banner Army, which had just returned to Beijing from the southwest battlefield, had experienced a bloody battle at a fork in the road, suffered a lot of losses, and needed time to replenish the various cattle records that participated in the war; As for the sudden improvement of the combat effectiveness of the green battalion, no one will believe it - it is clearly a shortcut to imitate the establishment of the Ming army in Zhejiang, but the Manchu court does not agree, and is still strongly suppressing such changes.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Hong Chengchou to let Tian Xiong go south through Shaoxing to find Chen Wen's discomfort, and the current situation does not allow the Tibiao Battalion to continue to strictly guard the defense line of the Qiantang River, but to move to Shaoxing, which is in danger, then its purpose can only be one!

"Could it be that we've been moving too much lately and have caught the attention of the Tartars?"

It was inevitable to attract the attention of the Qing army, otherwise it would be impossible for the Biao Battalion to risk crossing the Qiantang River. As for the size of the movement, attacking the county seat, raiding the small-scale Qing army, clearing out the officials who went to the countryside to urge the department, and even exercising the rights outside the county town on behalf of the Manchu government, they did not do any of the things that the Ming army of Dalanshan often did back then. In addition to stealing chickens and dogs near Dalan Mountain and attracting more people to fund in nearby prefectures and counties, Wang Jiang couldn't think of anything else that could be so big as to alarm Tian Xiong.

"At least, this also shows that our momentum is growing, and even the Tartars have to be wary!"

During this time, Wang Jiang was almost tired of this Wan Sicheng, or it can be said that he was tired of this kind of mouth cannon that can only talk about empty words. It's just that what he never expected was that there was another great advantage of this person that he hadn't found before, and that was optimism.

It's a pity that Wan Sicheng's "spirit of revolutionary optimism" is only Wang Jiang's bosom friend here, and after hearing this, the other people's faces either turned blue or pale, and even Wan Sicheng himself quickly abandoned Wang Jiang, a bosom friend, and was so frightened that his face turned very pale.

"As far as I know, the Tartar Battalion has now expanded to 5,000 troops, which is even better than it was four years ago. And we only have these more than 300 recruits in our hands, and we have only been training for a month. Xiu Guogong also defeated the Raising Battalion with 500 soldiers and 1,000 soldiers plus 1,500 auxiliaries. Our soldiers have not been trained as long as him, and if we want to win the battle, I am afraid it is unlikely. ”

At this time yesterday, some of them were still claiming that Chen Wen had annihilated the 2,500 standard battalion with 500 soldiers, and the soldiers trained by these righteous men and gentlemen would only be stronger, and now, Zou Xiaonan, who was not very fond of this brilliant speech, clearly analyzed the comparison of troops in that battle, and the answer he came up with made them break out in a cold sweat.

"Hehe, Director Zou doesn't need to save face for the last general, this soldier originally said that he would train according to Xiu Guogong's method, but in the end, he couldn't stick to it. The recruits in the battalion now, not to mention compared to the Nantang battalion when Xiu Guogong defeated Li Rong, even if it was the competition back then, I am afraid that the Mandarin Duck Formation is not the opponent of the middle battalion. ”

It was already a big pity for Jiang Han to steal Wang Yi's head with Lu Yuding and Mao Mingshan, and failed to die with Mao Mingshan, so even if Lu Yuding didn't agree this time, he still came, just with the intention of working hard for Mao Mingshan this time, even if it was at the cost of his life.

The righteousness between men, especially between warriors, is nothing more than that. It's a pity that military discipline can't be maintained from top to bottom, and he is already angry when he trains to the way he is now. At this moment, I was about to vent my dissatisfaction.

"Governor Jiang's words are inappropriate, that eunuch remnant is not a righteous man and a gentleman, since ancient times, evil has prevailed over righteousness, and you can't be arrogant."

"Hehe, what a good evil is invincible."

"Okay, we're not talking about that old matter today, let's think about how to deal with it when we have time." As soon as the meeting started, they complained to each other, and they carried guns and sticks between each other, and Huang Zongxi found that even Jiang Han, a martial artist, was becoming more and more able to speak. However, the current situation is that the Qing army may have discovered them and want to come to encircle and suppress them, so how can they have time to talk about these useless things.

"And what do you think?" Ignoring the wide-eyed Jiang Han and the Wanjia brothers, Huang Zongxi immediately asked Zou Xiaonan - those words were said by him, since he said it, he should always have more ideas to solve the problem than others.

"It's better to stay away for a while, just like Wang Jingluo did back then."

"I'm afraid this is not appropriate, now Siming, Tiantai, and Zhoushan will all be scattered. No one answered, and as soon as the food was eaten, the soldiers below were afraid that they would run out. ”

"As it is now, let alone running out of food, maybe the road has run out."

"If you really can't do it, just ask Xiu Guogong for help, he is also a royal teacher, he will not sit idly by. If we can win then, we will also have a credit for the combination of inside and outside......"

"No way!"

As soon as Zou Xiaonan's second suggestion was exported, it was immediately rejected by Huang Zongyan. Unlike the Wanjia brothers, Huang Zunsu died in the edict prison that year, and the grudge between the Huang brothers and the eunuch party has long been not only political, but also mixed with personal grievances. Now that he has identified the remnants of Chen Wen's eunuch party, it is naturally impossible for him to ask Chen Wen to rescue them.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Zou Xiaonan simply kept silent, listening to Huang Zongyan's fierce words about those old things that "righteous men and gentlemen and eunuchs are incompatible", talking about the necessity of struggle, and watching the brothers of the Wan family echo loudly as if they had taken stimulants, and their exhaustion was overflowing.

At this moment, Huang Zongyan was chatting with the Wan family brothers, Huang Zongxi was listening to these nonsense seriously, while Shen Tiaolun and Jiang Han were simply like Zou Xiaonan, sitting on the chair exhausted, their eyes blank. As for Wang Jiang, from beginning to end, as in the previous meetings in the past half month, he sat indifferently under Huang Zongxi's hands and remained silent.

After a long time, Huang Zongxi found that after discussing for a long time, he did not even discuss a substantive solution, so he had to end the emergency meeting on the grounds that "the target of the battalion is unclear, and the situation is not yet clear." However, when the meeting was announced, in the spirit of secrecy, he still ordered everyone not to leak today's events to prevent people from being disturbed.

In this way, Huang Zongxi can't say that there is anything wrong, after all, it is not good to make a joke that the Qing army has no intention of attacking Siming Mountain, but it scares away these righteous soldiers who claim to want to rebuild the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, and it is necessary to further observe the changes in the situation before making a decision.

It's a pity that this emergency meeting was not able to be effectively kept secret, and the little Vance was almost the next day by those heroes he recruited to set up the content of the meeting, and it quickly spread throughout Dalan Mountain. In the days that followed, soldiers and their families fled every day, so much so that the plan that Wang Jiang suggested to Huang Zongxi after the meeting—preparing carriages and horses for evacuation—could not be carried out smoothly.

In this way, day by day, within a few days, the forward cavalry of the Lifting Battalion arrived at the foot of Dalan Mountain. Huang Zongxi and others, who thought that they had the support of the gentry, did not realize that they were actually black-eyed until they saw the cavalry of the Qing army with their own eyes, and no one sent the news except for Shen Guomo's initial time. And in such a short period of time, the scouts trained by Jiang Han could only pass the information back with the head of Xiang hanging on the cavalry gun of the Qing army's horse, which was useless.

More importantly, at this moment, for Huang Zongxi and others, no matter how far they want to evacuate, they have no chance at all. (To be continued.) )
