Chapter 34: Radiation II

The edict envoy was still on the way, and Chen Wen had already launched an attack on Jiangshan County. Due to www.biquge.info the geographical location of Jiangshan County, the Ming army had to give up the siege plan, scattered the Tanma, and launched an attack on the northern city wall after the siege equipment was made and assembled.

The war in Jiangshan County was in full swing, Chen Wen recovered Quzhou, and the news of killing Chen Jin spread throughout the four southeastern provinces at an even more alarming speed, even to the point that everyone knew about it.

A month earlier, the Zhejiang Ming army led by Chen Wen had defeated the superior Qing army in a battle and besieged Quzhou for the second time. But in the final analysis, if the Qing army was defeated, if it could not take advantage of the situation to recover Quzhou, who knows if there would be any accidents, and the result was just like Cao Conglong's rebellion, which led to the abandonment of the Ming army's previous achievements.

But now, not only Quzhou has been recovered by the Ming army, but even Chen Jin is dead. That's a governor, just died at the hands of the Ming army, if you think of Li Dingguo in Guangxi who killed Kong Youde, then this year may be the Ming army to launch a counteroffensive, and the Ming Dynasty can start to prosper.

However, compared with Li Dingguo, the scholars in the southeast are more optimistic about Chen Wen, who is still relatively weak now, for no other reason, although Li Dingguo killed Kong Youde, but he was born in a rogue after all, and this prejudice made them feel that Chen Wen, who was born in the "hereditary hundred households", was more like a famous Zhongxing general who should appear in the Ming Dynasty.

For a time, Chen Wen's reputation spread all over the southeast, and Chen Jin's death was even more for people to tell each other. But whether it is Li Dingguo, Chen Wen, or Zheng Chenggong in the Fujian battlefield, these Ming army commanders have never clashed with the Eight Banners of Manchuria, which also makes those who are looking forward to restoring the Han family day and night have hope and at the same time inevitably have a trace of worry.

For the siege of Quzhou, Qian Qianyi was worried for a long time, for fear that something unexpected would happen, and he even secretly prayed at that time that Chen Wen would definitely take Quzhou down, even if Chen Jin escaped. But once he thought of the chaos and strife between and within the various Ming forces over the years, this feeling of fear made him even more unbearable.

Along the way, he was so worried that he didn't even have the heart to exchange opinions with some anti-Qing people who had intersected with him, but he just gave Deng Qixi a task, and Qian Qianyi hurried back home. But unexpectedly, he received the news the next day after returning home.

That night, on the painting boat in the lake, Qian Qianyi and his concubine Liu Ru drank happily for the great victory of the Ming army in the southeast until dawn. Later, he could no longer remember how much wine he drank, how many poems he wrote, or how many essays he wrote. Qian Qianyi only remembered that Liu Ru was very happy, and it could even be said that he had never been as happy as yesterday in so many years since he descended to the Qing Dynasty.

The next day, he woke up slowly at noon, and watched Liu Ru come and deliver the decanting soup to his mouth, so radiant that Qian Qianyi felt that he was suddenly twenty years younger.

Qian Qianyi, who consciously appeared "reverse growth", and Liu Ru re-talked about the before and after of this trip, although Chen Wen did not bite the bullet and march to Jiangxi, but the big plan of "three bureaus" was still approved by him.

Yao Zhizhuo came back with Qian Qianyi this time, and there was also a Confucian scholar named Zhu Quangu. Since Chen Wen had promised to cooperate in the battle, Qian Qianyi decided to send people to persuade Zheng Chenggong again, and at the same time, stepped up contact with Li Zhichun, a scholar appointed by the Lu Jian Dynasty, Zhang Zhongfu, a squire of the military department, and He Wangsheng, the former director of the Ministry of War.

Of course, this plan was mainly used by the Southwest Ming Army as the main force, and He Wangsheng's master Lei Yuelong was now a bachelor in the camp of the Qin Palace, which was also very beneficial for convincing Sun Kewang.

However, Qian Qianyi knew more than others, so he was much more worried about the situation of the Ming army than others.

In the southwest battlefield, Nikan had already led the army composed of the Eight Banners of Manchuria to the south, and it was only two months away from the Ming army's occupation area in Huguang at most, and whether he could hold on was the key to this plan. Relatively speaking, the previous news of Hong Chengchou's appointment as the southeast economic strategy is likely to be misinformation, because Qian Qianyi's sources did not get the news of Hong Chengchou's appearance in Jiangnan, but Ma Guozhu has been commanding the southeast Qing army in a unified manner, trying to reduce the threat of the Ming army in Zhejiang.

The rest of the news needs to be informed of Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong as soon as possible, but in any case, the plan to support Chen Wen has been decided, as long as Chen Wen can maintain his presence in Zhejiang, it can only be a good thing for the anti-Qing people in the southeast, and it cannot be a bad thing, not only for Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Zisheng, the Ming army, but also for other people who are interested in driving the Manchus away.

A few days later, Deng Qixi took two Confucian students to Hongdou Villa. One looked to be about forty years old, and the other was in his early twenties, and at first glance he was a talented man who read poetry and books, but when he walked, he always unconsciously shifted his weight to the side of his right leg.

Qian Qianyi is the leader of the southeast literary circle, the leader of the Wenzong League in the late Ming Dynasty, in terms of talent, even Gu Yanwu, who has always been ashamed of his personality, has to praise his talent.

Among the two, the elder and Guizhuang are friends, secretly engaged in anti-Qing work, and are not completely ignorant of what Qian Qianyi has done in recent years. And the young man, although he did not know Qian Qianyi, but he was a well-known talent in Zhejiang, his brother had followed Shi Kefa to guard Yangzhou, and his nephew was also hunted and killed by the Qing army after the failure of the Qing Dynasty, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a common enmity.

Time was pressing, Qian Qianyi did not say any more greetings, and the two sides went straight to the topic after sitting down for a long time. "Yaoxin, Zhuang Sheng, the old man invited the two of you to come this time, which is to dare to invite the two of you to Jinhua to help Linhaibo."

"I don't dare to ask for it." After that, I saw that the old Confucian stood up and bowed.

Getting up and returning the salute, Qian Qianyi turned to look at the young Confucian student, but heard the man say: "Although the student is only a shallow learner, he does not dare to fall behind. It's just a shepherd, this time I think it's not as simple as just letting the two of us go and listen to it, right? ”

While the young Confucian looked puzzled, the older Confucian was unmoved, as if he had guessed the considerations behind Qian Qianyi's move.

glanced at it, and immediately understood it, so Qian Qianyi told the young man what he thought.

Before and after Chen Wen's return, Qian Qianyi stayed in Jinhua Mansion for a few days, and Sun Yu had nothing to hide from him, so Qian Qianyi was somewhat aware of some changes in Jinhua Mansion.

Jinhuazhen and Jinhuawei seem to be the old system of the Ming Dynasty, but they are completely different inside. These Qian Qianyi have very little contact, although they can't get a glimpse and see the whole leopard, but they can still be seen to be different from the ancestral system. The separation of administration and justice resulting from the separation of the prefect's yamen and the criminal yamen is the scope of civil officials' powers, and it is impossible to hide his legal eyes.

Of course, there is also the matter of borrowing, although Qian Qianyi bought a large loan of 20,000 taels of silver, but it was just a face-saving sale for Chen Wen. China's finance has always been about living within the limits of income, and Qian Qianyi will not be completely ignorant even if he has not been in the household department, and how should this loan be understood?

After Cao Conglong's rebellion, the civil officials of Jinhua Mansion have all played the role of obeying Chen Wen's orders, Wang Jiang's question has been answered from Chen Wen, and he is ready to cooperate with him, but at this time, even if Wang Jiang can go back, he will no longer be able to exert influence as before. At present, Sun Yu, the highest-ranking civil official in Jinhua, is obviously more inclined to cooperate with Chen Wen, rather than acting as a representative of the civilian group to check and balance and help Chen Wen succeed.

In his opinion, if it goes on for a long time, this is not a good thing for Chen Wen, there is a way to listen to both the clear and the dark, and someone must always persuade him to avoid detours.

These two Confucian scholars are well-known talents, and they are not the kind of corrupt Confucians who only read the books of sages and do not know anything else. Not to mention the miscellaneous studies, one has been through the wind and frost for a long time and has the ability to see people and things, while the other has experienced the war and is not ignorant of military affairs, so the two of them should be able to help Chen Wen, I think it should be beneficial.

After confirming this matter, the two of them hurriedly said goodbye, the state affairs were so difficult, they had to put aside those red tape, and they had to drive the Tartars away first, so that the Ming Dynasty could be revitalized is the current priority, and it is a pragmatic approach. This is the most gratifying thing that Qian Qianyi saw in Jinhua from Chen Wen and Sun Yu, and he is naturally not behind young people who are "twenty years younger". (To be continued.) )
