Chapter 126: Variables (I)

The funeral was held, and Chen Wen was also a matter of concern, and the next ancestral shrine was also in the construction plan. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info ancestral hometown, hometown, place of battle and martyrdom, to set up a shrine to pay respects, this is the proper meaning, just like the previous wars of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, the martyrs' shrine has been all over the same reason.

In the previous months, Ning Shao had a large army on his side, and Chen Wen's campaign had also issued strict orders both externally and internally, and any interference with the administration would be regarded as a captive. But even so, the scholars and doctors of the two prefectures in Ningshao still used various means to resist the order to measure the acres of land, even if there were local celebrities like the Huang family, Wan Jia, and Lu Yuding to persuade them, they could not do so.

Lu Yuding supported Chen Wen's governance from the bottom of his heart, while the Huang brothers and the Wanjia brothers, although they were also supporters, their motives were not very pure.

On the one hand, it is to regain the grievances of Dalanshan with virtue, and on the other hand, since the recovery of Ningshao, Zhou Jingting instructed Lu Liuliang to make repeated reports on Chen Wenyi's rescue of the Qing Righteous Army in the "Zhejiang Di Bao", and even brought out Zhang Zisheng's Jiangxi Ming army as evidence, which can be described as a big publicity.

In particular, the despicable and shameless Zhou Jingting even trumpeted the disadvantage of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Ming army in this period, as well as the danger of Hong Chengchou's troops entering Yushan, which meant that the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Ming army took great risks to rescue friendly troops, and it was also reported on some survivors who helped up Dalan Mountain, highlighting the theme of gratitude to Dade.

It has always been the Donglin Party that uses morality as an excuse to suppress others, and the "evil party" like Fang Congzhe and the "eunuch party" like Wei Zhongxian have been rectified one by one. This time, Zhou Jingting, the treacherous villain, also had this trick on his backhand, and the Donglin Yuxian would not have played it at that time.

After receiving the news that Wang Jiang was appointed governor of Jiangxi, Huang Zongxi and others scolded Wang Jiang for deceiving them and making wedding clothes for Chen Wen, but in front of outsiders, they still had to shout for the new policy of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming Army, otherwise they would really become ungrateful villains.

However, in the face of interests, the effect of persuasion is not very good. But when Hong Chengchou died, the news that Chen Wen swept Jiangxi came, and the originally stable Ningshao gentry loosened. After getting the news, the gentry who were still pushing the survey team to measure the land came to visit one after another, and strongly demanded to measure the acres of land for them as soon as possible, so that the investigation team that had nothing to do before entered a state of overtime.

This is strange to say, but it is actually normal. Now don't measure, when Chen Wen comes, he sees that Ning Shao's governance cannot be carried out, the local officials will be unlucky, and those gentry will not be able to do well, and it will not be as simple as measuring when the time comes.

The scenery buried Wang Yi, and Chen Wen spent several days in Ningshao before returning to Jinhua. At the same time, Hangzhou, the provincial capital of Shaoxing Province, across the river, had just held a ceremony to welcome Yue Le.

Compared with Jiangning, Hangzhou is located in the front line of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Qiantang River in the south and the Yanzhou Mansion in the west are all based on the Ming army.

In particular, the widow of the deputy general of the pre-standard battalion was intercepted and killed by an unknown armed force on the way back to her hometown, and even Liu Da, a trusted officer sent by Yu Fenqi to escort her, was injured and fled back with the news spread, and this phenomenon is becoming more and more intense.

The emotions of Hangzhou's officialdom are broken, as the governor, Xiao Qiyuan is not unaware, but there is nothing he can do, and even he no longer spends money to operate and change places to sit in office. As for colluding with the Ming army, it is also impossible, he is a banner man, and Chen Wen will not let him go.

trembling in the yamen of the governor of Hangzhou, he continued to do the work called the governor of Hangzhou, which was to prepare the troops for Hangjiahu, especially Dasu, who was a waste who shrank directly into the city after being defeated by Chen Wen, and could not do anything but ask for help, which added to his pressure.

Next, Hong Chengchou died, the southeast meridian was completely destroyed, Jiangxi fell, Cai Shiying was captured, the southern Ganjian city was destroyed in one day, and Shang Geng's two feudal domains rebelled, and a series of news came, and the entire Hangzhou officialdom caused an uproar, and even many officials secretly sent their families away.

Xiao Qiyuan has a way in the court, knowing that Yue Le has clashed with the Khalkha Mongols in recent years and forced him to pay tribute, he is already a rare general among the princes and nobles in the court.

To this end, he organized a welcoming ceremony that was not inferior to that of Jiangning, and the people of Hangzhou were forced to move out of the city to kneel to welcome the arrival of Yue Le's army. In this way, the face is enough, and at the same time, it also proves to the Manchu court that Hangzhou is still under his control, and it looks quite imposing. It's just that in the eyes of people with a heart, it is clearly the apocalyptic atmosphere of holding on to the life-saving straw.

At the end of the welcome ceremony, Yue Le held a meeting in the temporary Xingyuan non-stop, but only Xiao Qiyuan, the governor of Zhejiang, the Mongolian Gushan Ezhen, who suffered little loss of soldiers and horses, and a group of high-ranking officials brought by Yue Le, including Liu Liangzuo, did not see the figure of Zhang Jia * Dasu, the general of Pingnan who was the chief general of the Eight Banners garrison in Hangzhou.

Compared with the meetings held in order to level Zhoushan and completely destroy the anti-Qing movement in Zhejiang, Jin Li, Liu Zhiyuan, Chen Jin, Tian Xiong, these people are gone, and even Wu Ruyu and Zhang Jie, who participated in the war, also died in Siming Mountain, and Xiao Qiyuan became the last one left to bear fruit.

"Let's talk about it, how many soldiers are there in the Ming army on the other side, where are they, what are the weapons and armor and combat effectiveness, this king just wants to hear the truth!"

Yue Le is the prince, Shunzhi's cousin, and the attendees were all bannermen from Manchuria, Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

"Why, if you can't win the battle, don't you even dare to speak?!"

"A slave deserves death."

A group of civil and military officials fell to their knees in an uproar, and Yue Le was so angry that he picked up the horsewhip, stood up, and gave a whip to barely suppress this breath.

"Today, this king only wants to hear the truth, and those who speak are not guilty."

This is the bottom line, if you don't speak, you may no longer have the right and qualification to speak. Seeing this, Xiao Qiyuan glanced at the Mongolian Gushan Ezhen, and had to be the first to speak, who asked Yue Le to ask first about the deployment of troops, not combat effectiveness.

"Back to the master, according to a detailed investigation, Chen Zhi's department and Hangzhou Zuojin are mainly divided into two parts......"

In these years, the use of commercial trade and Chen Wen followed the principle of Emperor Longwu on "growing hair is to obey the people, shaving hair is a refugee", and sent a lot of fine works to eastern Zhejiang. Some of them died at the hands of the Ming Army's Military Intelligence Department, some of them couldn't find anything useful at all, and the rest were also found, but they were not comprehensive, and they only knew a little more about the area near Hangzhou.

"Shaoxing and Yanzhou?"

"Exactly. Moreover, the people sent by the minions reported that the Ruian battalion in Shaoxing was gone, and there was an extra cavalry battalion called Xiaocai. In addition, on the boundary of Shaoxing Prefecture, the Ming army is building a camp, which seems to be preparing for the follow-up troops. ”

This is a very useful piece of information, Yue Le can naturally understand that when the army is assembled, it means that the time for war is coming, and the key is how powerful the opponent is.

"The minions have fought with that barbarian in the Siming Mountains, and their cavalry is like a timid rabbit, and they don't dare to fight the Eight Banners warriors at all. If it was on the grassland, the minions would be able to kill them all with their own soldiers and horses. ”

Let's pull down, if Chen Wen is killed on the grassland, the Qing Dynasty will be gone, what is the use of saying this. However, this Mongolian Eight Banners is already the only remaining soldier and horse with the strength of the Eight Banners of the Hangzhou Garrison, and at the moment, it is not possible to lose a big one because of a small one, Yue Le still understands.

Holding back this anger, Yue Le turned his attention to Wang Jing and Xu Xin, these two guys are now the green battalion water and land masters in Hangzhou, and the troops in their hands are also the most effective green battalion soldiers here in Hangzhou. Especially Xu Xin, who has clashed with the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang many times, can't beat it, so he should have some experience.

"Cavalry battle, but not afraid, is a column of foot combat, that Ming army is really powerful. The last general thought that he should not fight as much as possible in a mountainous area or in a place where the terrain was not suitable for cavalry raids. ”

In terms of water divisions, Zhejiang's inland river division is downstream, Zhejiang's coastal cruise water division is powerful, and Wang Jing's Qiantang water division is now on the defensive, and there is no way to break the situation at all. And as Xu Xin said, Jiangnan really can't be defended, the south of the Yangtze River is not a mountainous area, or a plain with a water network, how to look at these places are beneficial to Chen Wen, but if you give up Jiangnan, it is not realistic, after all, the wealth here supports half of the Manchu sky, without Jiangnan, the Manchu Qing is waiting for death.

"You guys stand down first, this king has to weigh one or two more."

………………

Yue Le led the army south to Hangzhou, and wherever the Eight Banners Army went, they robbed the people's property and robbed the people's daughters, which can be described as doing all kinds of evil.

Especially the Mongolian Eight Banners of the Tartars, since they were young, they have never gone south, where have they seen the world of flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, of course, they will inevitably carry forward their simple folk customs. They also have a reason for this, and it is a very legitimate reason, that is, only in this way can the Han people be afraid and dare not rise up to rebel, although they have not seen it with their own eyes, but they firmly believe that Nurhachi is how he became a winner in life.

Whether they were afraid or not, it is still unknown, but with the successive victories of the Ming army south of the Yangtze River, the vast number of gentry in the southeast suddenly discovered that those scholars who had always been committed to resisting the Qing Dynasty were righteous men and gentlemen who held the truth in their hands. Where righteousness goes, it is naturally a sight to follow. Of course, they still didn't dare to rebel in person, but the secret assembly still meant it.

Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture, the mansion of the grandson of the ancient writers of the Longqing Dynasty who returned to Youguang's grandson to the southeast anti-Qing people returned to Zhuang, where a large number of southeast gentry who were interested in driving the Manchus out of the south of the Yangtze River gathered here. Among them, there are members of the Hidden Poetry Society, as well as other readers, all of whom are trustworthy figures.

Others don't mention it, but the Hidden Poetry Society is one of the more famous latent organizations in the southeast of the Southern Ming Dynasty. This poetry society was founded in Wujiang, the fourth year of Yongli, and was finally dissolved in the involvement of Zhuang's "History of the Ming Dynasty" case. More than 50 members before and after are all anti-Qing people in the southeast. On the surface, they are pinning their affection on the landscape, but in fact, they are running for the anti-Qing rebels and the Ming army everywhere, such as Gu Yanwu, Guizhuang, and Chen Chen, who is now the head of the Art Troupe of the Propaganda Department under the palace of Huiji County, are all members of the Hidden Poetry Society.

The Manchu Dynasty's brutal conquest in the southeast had already aroused the public indignation of the southeastern gentry, and this time the Eight Banners Army crossed the border to add fuel to the fire, and they gathered here in order to end the Manchu rule in Jiangnan as soon as possible.

However, this kind of thing is easy to think, but it is not within their reach. There is no way, in the previous purge of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the initial anti-Qing forces in Jiangnan suffered relatively large losses, and some were even completely wiped out by the Qing army. Now they are still fighting and have a great momentum, which is nothing more than the barefoot Zhang San's Taihu Baitou Army and Qian Yingkui's Su Song Righteous Army, and the other strengths are too weak.

However, Qian Yingkui had just suffered a defeat under Liang Huafeng, the chief soldier of Su Song's water division, not long ago, and Zhang San was still rampant in Taihu Lake with bare feet, but the target of that rebel army was also a complete peasant rebel army, including the gentry, and no one present would have the idea of supporting its expansion of momentum.

The remaining way is nothing more than to lure the Ming army from other places to come to the aid and cooperate internally and externally, and only in this way can there be any hope of success.

"The king of Huiji County killed the traitor Hong Chengchou a few months ago, I think that the thief was in Nanjing back then, and he killed a lot of our peers, and now he died at the hands of the Huiji Domain, which really served justice for us."

"What Shengmu said is very true, the Huiji Domain is now strong and strong, with 100,000 armor, and has recovered several provinces and two provinces. If the prince of Huiji County raised a large army to the north, the captive division would not be an opponent. ”

The two people who spoke, one was called Pan Tazhang and the other was Wu Yan, both of whom were members of the Hidden Poetry Society. Because of Chen Chen's relationship, coupled with the fact that Guizhuang's side is also connected to Qian Qianyi's line, they have also indirectly cooperated with Chen Wen, so they are more optimistic about the Ming Army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang.

"Hehe, whether the captive master is an opponent or not, I don't know. But I know that none of us scholars are the opponents of the King of Huiji. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's complexion immediately changed. In their opinion, if Chen Wen's strength is cooperated with them, Jiangnan's recovery is just around the corner. However, the contradiction between Chen Wen and the Confucian scholar class is not small, and there are still charges in the previous prisons, but the measurement of acres of land is intolerable to almost everyone present.

Compared with the Hidden Poetry Society, which has members working in Chen Wen's curtain, most of the people present do not have the slightest good impression of Chen Wen, and they are naturally afraid that Jiangnan will recover it for him.

"I heard that the Huiji Clan was the remnants of the eunuch party, and it was because Wang Wanxun and Feng Jizhong were not allowed to be scattered in the battle of Siming Lake."

"At this time, I have also heard that it is said that this guy has framed Wang Wanxun, Uncle Wang and Cao Yunlin, thus seizing the military power of the Dalanshan Wang Division, otherwise how can he be allowed to lead the troops with a remnant of the eunuch party. It's a pity that Uncle Wang is still in the dark, doing things for the remnants of the eunuch party, it's really stupid. ”

"Stupid? I think it's the desire for profit. ”

"I don't know if the eunuch party is not eunuch, but I heard that the Chinese Revival Association formed by the Huiji Fan is really a cult like the Smelling Fragrance Sect. The subordinates of the Huiji Domain firmly believed that as long as the believers were sick, they didn't need to drink medicine, and as long as they drank the talisman water, they would be invulnerable, so they were naturally brave. These cult leaders are most afraid of us and other righteous men and gentlemen, so they will wantonly kill the gentry in Zhejiang, and we must not repeat the mistakes of Huanglizhou. ”

"It turns out that there is such a thing, no wonder the soldiers of the Hui Clan are not even opponents of the Eight Banners Army and Hong Chengchou, they actually believe in the cult and are not afraid of death."

"Also, do you know the princess of the Huiji Domain, that is the crazy woman who went all the way to Quzhou to report to the Huiji Domain when Cao Yunlin organized the army to prepare to rescue the Lu Domain. It is said that they hooked up at that time, and it was Zhou Jingting who was the matchmaker. ”

"No wonder, otherwise, with that Zhou Jingting, he would also be worthy of the high position of the left deputy envoy of the Imperial Palace, it turned out to be a villain who betrayed his sister to seek glory."

“……”

As long as it is not in line with their own wishes, Donglin Qunxian will immediately find all kinds of rumors to splash dirty water, anyway, they don't have to be responsible for talking nonsense, and they naturally come out one by one with the posture of the royal history and rumors, so as to morally crack down on those opponents.

The more he talked in the lobby, the more unpleasant it became, and a scholar of about forty stood up and walked straight out of the door. The participants didn't care too much about the book's whereabouts, but instead got up and chased him out.

"Ning people, you have to negotiate a countermeasure to get things done."

"Hengxuan, do you think you can talk about anything with these pickled goods who are full of benevolence and morality, and who are full of male thieves and prostitutes?"

Strange and strange, the two have an excellent relationship. This time it was originally a feat of the Astonishing Poetry Society to take the lead, outreaching Chen Wen, and organizing the gentry as the internal response of the army, but unexpectedly, Jiangnan Shilin's opposition to Chen Wen was so huge, and the Astonishing Poetry Society was a loose organization, and its own basic plate could not be guaranteed in this opposition, so how could these gentry be organized.

Guizhuang sighed, and didn't know how to answer, but the scholar whispered to him: "It's no fun to count on them, so I'll go south to Jinhua to ask for a meeting with the king of Huiji County, and I must not leave time for the Tartars to reinforce Jiangnan." ”

With that, the reader turned around and left, and returned to the lobby to see him off. At this moment, the lobby had turned into a gathering against Chen Wen's northward movement, and even some members of the Hidden Poetry Society jumped back.

Before Guizhuang had time to say anything, the scholar who was the first to oppose Chen Wen's army just now pretended to be mysterious and said to everyone: "As far as I know, Li Jingluo has already contacted the army, as long as we block Chen Wen in the Qiantang River, this Jiangnan will still be a Jiangnan of righteous men and gentlemen, and will never fall into the hands of Chen Wenna and other eunuch remnants!" ”
