Whether it is Zierharang or Fan Wencheng, their thoughts are impossible to predict for Chen Wen, who is far away in Jiangxi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info captured the fortress, Chen Wen waited for Sun Yu in Guangxin Mansion for a few days before setting off for Nanchang to sit down.

From late May to the present, during this period, the advance troops sent by Chen Wen have recaptured the six prefectures of Nanchang, Nankang, Jiujiang, Ruizhou, Linjiang and Yuanzhou.

At the same time, Zhang Zisheng and An Youfu's southbound troops also recovered Fuzhou Mansion and Jiankang Mansion successively. Among them, Jiankang Mansion was Zhang Zisheng's main base in Jiangxi that year, and he was almost wiped out by the Qing army in Dajueyan in Luxi County in the fifth year of Yongli. If it weren't for Wang Zhigang, the chief soldier on the left side of Fujian, who suddenly withdrew from the siege and rushed to Zhejiang to serve as a firefighter, probably his old life would have been explained there.

This revisit, especially the old brothers who killed the Tartars in Jiangxi together, the other few who were called the four great Kou of Jiangxi by the Qing court were killed by the Qing army in Shaowu a few years ago, only he was able to survive when he joined the Ming army in Zhejiang, and returned to his hometown this time, this touch of the scene is really not something ordinary people can experience.

In addition, the last troops dispatched - Nantang Battalion and Chun'an Battalion also bloodlessly recaptured the Raozhou Mansion east of Poyang Lake, this mansion is not very famous now, but on the one hand, Raozhou is close to Huizhou and Chizhou in the southwest of the Yangtze River, on the other hand, the most famous Jingdezhen in Jiangxi in the later generations is also in the territory of the northernmost county called Fuliang in this province.

Jiangxi Province, a total of thirteen prefectures, in just one month, Chen Wen's army blossomed in all directions, and has recovered as many as ten. Although there are many counties that are a little more remote from Fucheng have not yet been fully entered into their hands, with the surrender or flight of Qing troops in various places, these territories can generally be regarded as occupied by the Ming army in Zhejiang. And Sun Yu came here for the governance of these prefectures.

It was once written in the "General Guide to Governance": For the sake of government, do not precede the employment of people.

With most of Jiangxi in hand, it is first necessary to select a governor to preside over the overall situation of civil affairs, and this is the key among the keys.

At present, the specific situation of Jiangxi Province is not very clear, but it is nothing more than the Qing army's massacre of the city and the extermination of local anti-Qing forces, which led to a sharp decline in population, a large amount of land abandonment, and some such things as excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, officials, green camps, and plundering of places. Therefore, Chen Wen prefers to let Sun Yu be in charge of this new occupied area, the government over there in Zhejiang has been running for many years, and sending a personal agent will not affect the governance, for example, Wang Jiang is a good candidate.

Originally, Chen Wen had already made a decision, and he only had to tell Sun Yu that he could give an order if he was sure that he had no objection, and even he was ready, but Sun Yu had a different opinion on this.

"Furen, are you in a hurry to attack Hangzhou?"

"Why?"

As soon as the words came out, Chen Wen immediately understood Sun Yu's thoughts.

His prestige in the Ming army in Zhejiang is unparalleled, and in terms of civil affairs, Sun Yu has been the governor for many years, or the governor who is really unknown, and the officials in Zhejiang are all from his subordinates. Sun Yu is Chen Wen's most loyal and important political ally, and he can naturally rest assured in the local area, but if Sun Yu is transferred to Jiangxi, Chen Wen will have to return to Zhejiang.

There is no way, with the development of reform, the Ming army and the government in Zhejiang have gained greater strength, but also accumulated more opponents. Only Chen Wen or Sun Yu can suppress these people, and others, such as Wang Jiang, the former governor of Zhejiang, who has a weak temperament, are afraid that it will be difficult for them to be competent.

However, after the recent recovery of a large area of land in Jiangxi, Chen Wen obviously wants to stay in Jiangxi, and the military deterrent is enough, so that the local administration can be launched, and the lesser of the two evils can be said goodbye to the plan of letting Sun Yu come over to preside over Jiangxi's civil affairs.

The flying pigeon passed the book, Wang Jiang was already on the way to Jiangxi, but the civil officials brought by Sun Yu and the guards sent by the martial arts academy set off first. Along with this, there will be thousands of newly trained garrisons in the boot camp, who will use spears to ensure the smooth and safe administration of civilian and guard officers!

At the same time as setting off, Chen Wen was not idle, and the further adjustment of the military system and the research and development and manufacturing of supporting links such as weapons and equipment were also put on the agenda, but the time was still short, and the province of Jiangxi was far from being completely recovered, so it could only make some plans for the time being.

However, there is one work that is indeed already underway, and it is a bit of an eyesore to reflect the appetite of the people involved.

According to the report of the supervising officer, the cooks in charge of the wounded and sick room said that these days, due to the great victory of the Ming army and the expected gains, the wounded are in a good state of mind, and their appetite is to eat Ma Ma Xiang. But the other group of people in the wounded and sick room, those military doctors are far from having such a good appetite, they eat very little every day, sometimes they have to vomit after eating, or retch, and some boring people say that it is like being pregnant with a child.

It is unscientific for men to get pregnant. Behind this phenomenon is the observation of these military doctors since Ling Chi began, as well as the autopsy of some corpses these days. Playing with corpses every day, constantly researching and drawing maps, and often taking out some internal organs for examination, it is strange that they can eat.

In fact, these military doctors are not without objections to this, not to study the internal structure of the human body in order to better treat the wounded in the future. It's just that according to the ancient Chinese tradition, destroying someone's body is a felony and is not very acceptable to them.

After all, this is not the era of kicking Kong Lao Er down and stepping on it ten thousand times, Chen Wen can still understand this, but some of the rhetoric on the Internet in later generations feels that they can be used now.

"The saint said, "Yidi, beasts also." The carcasses of livestock can be dissected, so why not these animals in human skin? ”

In the capacity of the Duke of the State to misinterpret the words of Master Confucius, the military doctors had no choice but to silently accept these poisonous milks and use the corpses of the Qing army for anatomical research according to Chen Wen's instructions. However, as a compromise, those corpses that have contributed to science can also get organs and wounds to be relocated and repaired, as well as buried in coffins, and the treatment of being marked, unlike the corpses of other Qing soldiers, who were directly dug and buried, and their families could not find who they were when they picked up bones in the future.

Although this is still an era of building bridges and paving roads without bones, killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, but punishing evil and promoting good is also a Chinese tradition and virtue, and the Zhejiang Ming army has always acted in this way, and it is inevitably reflected in the treatment of prisoners, even if this kind of goodness is passive, even after death. Of course, this alone is also a kind of compromise and compensation for another tradition.

Well, for the sake of science, it's okay to compromise a bit.

Guangxin Mansion and Nanchang are 500 miles away, and Chen Wence rode first, but it took some time to get there. When he arrived, Li Ruixin was already waiting outside the city, and after two words of praise and encouragement to the meritorious personnel, Chen Wen rode his horse into the Jinxian Gate in the south of the city.

This city gate, when Tan Tai suppressed Jin Shengheng in history, Jin Shengheng's subordinate Tang Zhizhong opened this city gate and let the Qing army enter the city, which finally led to the massacre. And half a month ago, Li Ruixin also used special operations to deceive the city gate, and then rushed to kill and capture the city. In comparison, it was more cunning than the Qing army back then.

Entering the Jinxian Gate, Chen Wen went straight to the Admiral's Yamen, which would be where he would be in Nanchang. Just walking on the road, he had to sigh at the impermanence of the world -- after fighting bloody battles in Zhejiang for four years, step by step in the thorns, he did not expect that the first provincial capital to be recovered was not Hangzhou, but Nanchang, Jiangxi. And in the recent period, the siege of the city is not as difficult as before, and there are few battles in the process of recovering the prefectures and counties under his command, and when he heard the news of Hong Chengchou's death, the defenders either fell in the wind or fled in the wind, and when they were in Zhejiang, it can be said that they were separated from the world.

At first glance, it seems that the combat effectiveness of the Qing army in Jiangxi is far inferior to that of Zhejiang. But when you think about it, it's not that simple.

In the four years of Yongli when Chen Wen raised troops to resist the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the ruler of China, while the Ming army was the local separatist force, and even the rebel army.

Since ancient times, rebellion, first wandering, in the flow to strengthen themselves, and then the development of the base area, defend the territory without losing, several rounds of anti-encirclement and suppression, exhausted the prestige of the opponent, the rest is to destroy the withering and decaying strides into the march. Li Zicheng took this road, and Chen Wen's wandering career was very short, just from Dalan Mountain to Tiantai Mountain to Jinhua Mansion, followed by rounds of anti-encirclement and suppression, to this day, he finally managed to see the moon and more than double the territory in one breath, which is the beginning of the reversal!

"In the next few days, we must first completely turn Jiangxi into a basic plate and let this province play its due role."

The team of civil officials and officers of the health station who arrived in the brigade was still on the road, and Wang Jiang, who was a light car, was also on the road, estimating the distance and speed, and the time to arrive in Nanchang would probably not be long.

In this case, there are some things that must be done first. First of all, there is the question of the departure and retention of the Manchu civil officials and military generals in Jiangxi Province. is still the same sentence, for the sake of politics, do not precede the employment of people.

Those captured, Chen Wen didn't care about them for the time being, the fate of these people was completely in the hands of the Ming army in Zhejiang, and he didn't care about this moment. On the contrary, those who surrender to the right side need to be dealt with carefully, after all, this situation is really rare in the past, and it will also have a great impact in the future.

"Sinners Zhao Jinmei, Wu Nandai, Kang Shisheng, knock to see Xiu Guogong."

Zhao, Wu, and Kang were sent to Nanchang by Wu Dengke, the Yiwu Bo who is now guarding Yuanzhou. Among them, Zhao Jinmei is the political envoy of Jiangxi Province to participate in the politics of Huxi Province, Wu Nandai is the prefect of Yuanzhou, and Kang Shisheng is the deputy general of Yuanzhou. They all went out of the city to surrender when Wu Dengke's troops were in the city, and they were very cooperative during Wu Dengke's recovery of Yuanzhou Mansion, so they were sent here to be arranged by Chen Wen.

"Zhao Daotai, Wu Fuzun, Vice General Kang, please get up."

Chen Wen called them their original official positions, but unexpectedly, these three guys were terrified, and they called it a capital crime again.

"Get up and speak, my lord doesn't like to see people kneeling."

I really don't like to see people kneeling, I like to see lying down—the dead kind.

Seeing that Chen Wen's face was tense, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up. However, this slander only dared to be in their hearts, after all, this murderous demon should have the appearance of a demon, and being so polite just now made them feel uneasy.

The three officials stood up, and when they saw Chen Wen waving his hand, they didn't dare not sit down, so they sat down with their butts on the edge of the chair as they did when they were serving Shangguan. All of this was in Chen Wen's eyes, but he was not interested in correcting them, let alone the time.

When Yiwu Bo sent the three to Nanchang, he also sent a document to his country, saying that in the process of Wang Shi's recovery of Yuanzhou Mansion, the three were extremely cooperative, not such stubborn people. The lord of the country has said that those who submit to the king will not die, and if you plan to do so in the future, you can tell the lord of your country, and the speaker is not guilty. ”

Chen Wen knew more or less about these three people, some of them were letters from Wu Dengke, some were reports from the Military Intelligence Department, and some Chen Wen originally knew about them, but he didn't expect to see them here.

Hearing this, the three of them hurriedly got up and re-seated after the courtesy of thanking Chen Wen, and then it was Zhao Jinmei who took the lead in speaking.

"Students don't dare to have too many delusions, their parents are still in their hometown, they just want the national government to put the students in prison, and the students are willing to serve the national government in prison."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Wen was stunned at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it was normal. Zhao Jinmei is a native of Yidu, Shandong, is a local prodigy, his people in the Chongzhen Dynasty Jinshi, and then descended to the Qing Dynasty, on weekdays to write some miscellaneous dramas, poems, according to Chen Wen's staff said that it is very well written. However, since this person is from Shandong, he is probably worried about his family in his hometown.

"Mr. Zhao is talented, and his own government is eager to seek talent, but if he harms Mr. Zhao's parents and relatives, it is definitely not the wish of his country. In this case, the National Council will mention this matter to Governor Wang, and he will make proper arrangements. ”

Before coming, they already knew a little about the Ming Army in Zhejiang, and the Governor Wang in Chen Wen's mouth could not be someone else, but only the former Governor Wang Jiang who returned to the Ming Army in Zhejiang a few months ago. Wang Jiang descended to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Chen Wen could spend a lot of energy to rescue him, and it was twice in a row, which shows that he still values affection. And Zhao Jinmei's strange requirements here can also be recognized by Chen Wen, which can be seen.

"Xie Guogong is compassionate, and the sinner must do his best to serve the imperial court."

Everyone was born and raised by their parents, if they want to pursue a career, they can even do without their parents, and Chen Wen does not dare to rest assured that this kind of person is used. But working in prison is also a shame that this prodigy can figure it out.

Zhao Jinmei sat down with her butt on the side again, and Chen Wen turned his attention to Wu Nandai. This prefect of Yuanzhou has an excellent official reputation in Yuanzhou, and when he heard that he was going to come to meet Chen Wen, the local people had many send-offs, and they begged the Ming army to tell Chen Wen about the good things he had done in Yuanzhou for the benefit of the people, and he was indeed a rare figure.

"Mr. Wu has been an official for one term and has benefited the people, which is rare in this era, especially in the officialdom of Tartar."

"The prince of the country praised it falsely." Wu Nandai stood up and saluted, and then said: "The student and Zhao Gong have the same request, and I hope that Guogong can agree." ”

Wu Nandai is a native of Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture, a Jinshi who has been in Shunzhi for six years, and the prefect of Yuanzhou, who was transferred to last year. The reason why he was able to quickly become praised by the local gentry and common people in Yuanzhou was very simple, because he went to the Qing court to reduce the floating grain in Yuanzhou, which was to put it bluntly, he reduced unreasonable taxes.

As for this person's name, Chen Wen had heard of it a long time ago. There is a very famous story called "Rouge" in the popular novel "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" that was born decades later, in which the prototype of the prefect who avenged the Eqiu Falcon but misjudged Susuke was this person, and he didn't even change his name, and in the end, Xuezheng Shi Yanzhang, who finally made the truth come to light, was the author Pu Songling's teacher.

The story was very interesting, so Chen Wen remembered the name. However, he was another one who wanted to serve him in prison, but Chen Wen suddenly had a sense of absurdity. Of course, Wu Nandai is a native of Changzhou, Qian Qianyi's fellow villager, which is much closer than Shandong, as long as he works hard, this gentleman is estimated to not stay in prison for long.

After solving the problem of the two civil officials, Chen Wen turned to the general, but unexpectedly, this person fell to the ground all of a sudden, and said that he was willing to die for Chen Wen.

Military generals are different from civilian officials, there is no way to help judge the case in prison, and the family of this military general is in Yuanzhou, and his hometown does not have too many concerns. It's just that there are no concerns in this regard, but there are no other aspects.

"The sinner was a general of Guangxin Mansion a few years ago, and he had some intersections with Pingjiangbo......"

The intersection is good, to put it bluntly, Kang Shisheng once surrounded and suppressed Zhang Zisheng when he was a general in Guangxin Mansion, and it is impossible for there to be no grudge between the two. Now that Zhang Zisheng is of great use under Chen Wen, Kang Shisheng is naturally afraid of settling accounts after the autumn, so he will inevitably ask Chen Wen for an explanation.

appeased this general, and promised to make peace for him and Zhang Zisheng. As far as Chen Wen knows, what Zhang Zisheng hates most now is Yang Minggao, the governor of Fujian, and Wang Zhigang, the chief soldier of the left road in Fujian, these two nosy Fujian green battalion generals went to Jiangxi to make trouble, which directly led to the capture and martyrdom of Jie Chongxi, Cao Dahao, Hong Guoyu and others. As for this Kang Shisheng, he didn't even mention half of it, it seems that the little dirt between the two is just that.

I met several waves of local civil and military affairs, some wanted to return to their hometowns, some wanted to stay, and they really came up with weirdos like Zhao Jinmei who wanted to work for Chen Wen in prison, which made Chen Wen have to suspect that the Manchu court might be a cage, so they were so cold.

Seeing the last wave gone, Chen Wen also stretched his waist, but there was still one more to meet in today's plan, and he also specially arranged the longest time to meet this acquaintance.

"General Wang, I haven't seen you for four years, don't come unharmed." (To be continued.) )
