Chapter 119: Nail
The news of the division of land soon spread throughout the occupied areas of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Nanxiong, Shaowu, Jinhua, and even Ningshao, and every Ming army who received the news cheered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEven those soldiers of the Ming army who did not have the opportunity to get the land this time will look at all this with envy, and secretly make up their minds to kill the enemy bravely in the next battle in order to win military merit.
In the laughter and laughter of the soldiers, Shao Wu's Fujian Left Road General Military Mansion, and Zhang Zisheng, who had just been named the Marquis of Pingjiang, were deeply uneasy.
The yamen here originally belonged to Wang Zhigang, and Zhang Zisheng had a lot of confrontations with Wang Zhigang in Jiangxi back then, but basically he never took any advantage. Later, including Jie Chongxi and others, they were also captured by Yang Minggao and the entire Wang Zhigang, and finally martyred in this Shaowufu City.
Not long ago, Zhang Zisheng killed this great enemy in Shaowu, which can be described as raising his eyebrows. As a high-ranking military officer, he also knew about the transaction between Chen Wen and Geng Jimao, and Chen Wen was able to forcibly exchange Wang Zhigang for his disposal, which shows the importance of him and the Jiangxi anti-Qing martyrs who fought with him in Jiangxi back then. And this emphasis on the deceased and the living is what Zhang Zisheng is most moved by.
Since joining the Zhejiang Ming Army last year, it has been a year, and a year later, the Zhejiang Ming Army has evolved into the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army, and his old troops have also gotten rid of the precarious days at the beginning, and even he has learned a lot in it, not to mention that he has also avenged such a blood feud.
Now that he has caught up with Chen Wen's east wind of being crowned the king of the county, he has been promoted from earl to marquis, which is a good thing, but the Xuanzhao envoy who has just left Shaowu and turned to Zhejiang has left him with a big hidden danger.
Admiral Jiangxi and other waterway soldiers and horses to aid the general military officer, special python jade, cheap acts, hang the seal of the pioneer general, the former military governor's mansion right governor, the prince Taibao, Pingjiang Marquis.
This is the full name of Zhang Zisheng's official position, and the Marquis of Pingjiang is the most important and the most conspicuous, but the commander of the Jiangxi Military Affairs Officer, with the Shang Fang Sword that he was already in hand when he was awarded the title of Pingjiang Bo, the four words of cheap action, theoretically he already has the qualifications to be the enemy of Chen Wen, the commander of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies. In particular, he is a native of Jiangxi, and the position of the governor is also in the former military governor's office, not the left army governor's office to which Chen Wen and the vast majority of the generals of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies belong, and it is also legally recognized that he is no longer subject to his control.
Since joining Chen Wen's command, Zhang Zisheng has never thought of deviating, especially when Wang Zhigang appeared in front of him with five flowers, this kindness is no longer something that can be described in words.
However, the nail in the canonization edict was buried in the most conspicuous place, and Zhang Zisheng knew that Chen Wen had received the holy decree, so he took it happily before he reacted at that time. But now that I think about it, I was in a cold sweat, Jiangxi is the only complete province in the land recovered by Chen Wen, he is a native of Jiangxi, and then he supervises Jiangxi's military affairs, which commander will inevitably leave a pimple in his heart.
"Do you want to explain a thing or two to the king?" Thinking of this, Zhang Zisheng shook his head unconsciously. "There's no ghost in my heart, do you need to explain, it's just that there are no pimples, I'm afraid that there will be pimples because of this."
secretly scolded himself for being unresponsive, and Zhang Zisheng immediately scolded Sun Kewang in his heart, who caused him this trouble.
The irritability made it difficult for Zhang Zisheng to calm down and deal with official business. In the current situation in Fujian, the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang recovered Shaowu and Tingzhou, Geng Jimao occupied Quanzhou and Xinghua anyway, Zheng Chenggong had all Zhangzhou, and the remaining Fuzhou, Jianning, Yanping and Funing were still in the hands of Liu Qingtai, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian.
Whether to stay on the defensive in Fujian or continue to forge ahead. If he is aggressive, whether the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming armies will attack from Zhejiang and Fujian on all fronts, or whether they will unite with the two allies Zheng Chenggong and Geng Jimao, or negotiate to solve the Fujian problem, these are not things that he can decide.
was bored in his heart, and the house was extremely panicked, so Zhang Zisheng simply went to the city to inspect it. It's a good idea to patrol the city to get some fresh air and soothe your mood, but at night it's a good idea.
In this way, poor Zhang Zisheng was tormented by the idea that came up and didn't sleep well all night, and he still felt a little bored the next day. Fortunately, at noon, the messenger from Nanchang arrived and took over the official document, and Zhang Zisheng's original worries disappeared immediately. Then, in accordance with Chen Wen's instructions, he wrote an official document by himself, and then stamped it with the big seal of the right governor of the former military capital governor's mansion just a few days after he arrived.
………………
Jiangxi began a vigorous campaign to distribute military merits and land, and Kou Huiyin's housekeeper had already embarked on the road back to Changsha.
Set off from Nanchang, along the Ganjiang River to Linjiang Fucheng, and then enter Yuanshui, after passing Yuanzhou Fucheng, transfer to a carriage to Pingxiang, where you take a boat on Lushui, and soon arrive at Changsha after the water flows.
The vast majority of the road can be transported by water, although some sections of the river are not very conducive to the use of the army, but the convenience of water transportation makes the distance between the two central cities of Nanchang and Changsha not as far as imagined. This is true for the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is gaining momentum but is still on the defensive to digest the fruits of victory, or for the Huguang Qing army, which has just won a great victory in Yuezhou and defeated the vanguard of the Ming army in the southwest but has to enter the defensive.
On the sixth day of October, he returned to Changsha, but Kou Huiyin's housekeeper did not return to Kou's house, but only sent a small servant back to report to the head of the family, and he himself hurried to the location of Fan Wencheng's line in the southwest meridian.
"What does Chen Wei say?"
"Back to the words of the old man, the villain said according to what you explained. In the meantime, the thief was repeatedly tempted, relying on the boss's clever calculations, and the villain said to the thief according to the boss's instructions, and finally he asked about the relationship between my master and Vice Admiral Sun, and it was after this matter was answered that the thief's heart was appeased. ”
After getting this answer, Fan Wencheng's body immediately leaned forward a few degrees, and then asked the housekeeper, "So, it's done?" ”
"That's true, the boss is clever, and the villain acts according to the plan, which can be regarded as a blessing."
The butler's answer was very satisfactory to Fan Wencheng, but Chen Wen was also famous, so he had to ask one or two in detail: "Repeat your conversation with the thief to the old man." ”
"The villain obeys."
According to Fan Wencheng's instructions, the housekeeper told Fan Wencheng what he saw and heard along the way, especially the conversation with Chen Wen. After a while, the housekeeper finished repeating, and Fan Wencheng, who was carefully brushing his beard under his chin, praised a "good" and asked his subordinates to send Kou Huiyin's housekeeper back, and summoned Kou Huiyin to give him one or two instructions before relieving his heart.
Next, Fan Wencheng invited Chen Tai, and the two entered the study, and before they sat down, Chen Tai couldn't wait to ask Fan Wencheng what the result was.
The fall of Jiangxi made the Huguang Qing army suffer from both sides, and the Manchu court also issued an urgent order, requiring Fan Wencheng to depend on the situation, if Prince An Yue Le could not win quickly, it was not hesitant to abandon the southern part of Huguang to retain the vital force.
The edict was issued, which coincided with Fan Wenchengfu's thoughts when he heard that Jiangxi had fallen into the hands of Chen Wen. But who knows, the situation changed too quickly, Chen Wen's few strokes, using Shang Geng's existence as a quasi-warlord in the Manchu army and their respective predicaments, soon staged a hat trick of the Qing army in Fujian and Guangdong provinces anyway.
Guangdong's Shang Kexi bet on both sides, and Guangxi's line Guoan, Quanjie, and Ma Xiong's three generals are also Kong Youde's generals, and their loyalty to the Manchu Qing is relatively high. Compared with Nanjing, Fan Wencheng got the news much faster than Ma Guozhu along the landing route.
Jiangxi is the hub south of the Yangtze River, yes, in history, Yue Le was in the rebellion of the three feudatories with the help of the capture of Jiangxi to achieve the strategic goal of decomposing the three feudatories, and now Yue Le in the strategic decision-making also coincides with Jierharang, otherwise there will be no Liu Liangzuo, who is familiar with Jiangxi's geography and hydrology, the Han army banner generals sent troops to assist.
But now, without the cooperation of Shang Geng's two domains, it is impossible for Yue Le to win a quick victory in terms of troops alone. And they are attacked on both sides, except for the north, as long as they move, they will be attacked on their backs, let alone cooperate. As a result, Fan Wencheng's earlier plan was launched in advance, and now he has some eyebrows, so he is naturally relieved.
"Xianweng, it can't be that Chen Wen is cheating, this guy is not an ordinary person, and even Hong Chengchou has suffered a big loss in his cunning."
Hong Chengchou is indeed amazing, Fan Wencheng also admitted, but he also saw that Hong Chengchou did not have the heart to die, and he asked himself to be resourceful. Later, I don't know which bastard spread the joke that the Queen Mother "slept" and lowered Hong Chengchou, which is not only slandering the Queen Mother's reputation, but also a great insult to his IQ.
Chen Tai said it unintentionally, but Fan Wencheng was intentional by the listener, but he didn't care too much about it, not only did he know Chen Tai's temperament very well, but he didn't mean it, but more importantly, there was no time to dwell on it now.
On the way back, the housekeeper saw the Ming army in Nanchang marching out of the city, boarding a ship and setting off for Yuanzhou. He couldn't count the numbers, but the soldiers I sent to follow him reported that there would never be less than four thousand, and that they should be the vanguards. ”
Since the army has moved, then this matter will naturally be inseparable, Chen Tai nodded, and then asked Fan Wencheng: "Will Chen Wen and Sun Kewang really fight?" I heard that the surname Chen is not a loyal minister, and he has resisted the decree several times in Zhejiang, and even King Lu went to the prison country to supervise the country because of his conspiracy with the surname Zheng. ”
Compared with Chen Tai, Fan Wencheng, as the maker of the plan, is naturally full of confidence. At this moment, I saw him smile faintly, and then replied: "The mountainous area of western Jiangxi is used as a shield, these two people may be a little restrained, if Chen Wen occupies Changsha, do you think that even Sun Kewang, who can't be tolerated by Li Dingguo, can be able to tolerate Chen Wen?" ”
………………
As Fan Wencheng expected, Sun Kewang could not tolerate Chen Wen. In fact, not only Chen Wen, but also Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Zheng Chenggong, or anyone else, as long as the Southern Ming warlord who was likely to become a competitor, as the head of the princes of the Narrow Heavenly Son and the princes, he could not tolerate it.
Liu Wenxiu was previously entrusted with the important task, but Liu Wenxiu always refused to send troops. When Chen Wen's good news arrived, Liu Wenxiu sent troops on the back foot, and even Sun Kewang got a secret report from Feng Shuangli that Chen Wenzeng sent someone to meet Liu Wenxiu.
After getting the news, Sun Kewang was shocked into a cold sweat. One righteous brother has been forced by him to go to Guangdong, and the other is likely to collude with outsiders to deal with him, and he lost his temper, and finally extinguished some anger under the persuasion of Lei Yuelong, Fan Ying and others, and Sun Kewang set off for Chenzhou overnight.
But by the time he arrived, Liu Wenxiu had already been defeated and retreated to Changde. As a result, a drama that is as unique as after the Battle of Baoning was staged again, Liu Wenxiu, who was younger than Sun Kewang, was directly relieved of the military power and sent back to Kunming for retirement, while he took advantage of the situation to regain the military power in his hands.
First defeated, then the change of coach, plus Sun Kewang still has some phobia at a fork in the road, the army had to stay here temporarily, standing still.
However, the news of Fujian and Guangdong came one after another before and after the arrival of the messengers sent back by the Xuanzhao envoys, and Chen Wen went down to Ganzhou in one day, forcing Shang Geng Erfan and Hao Jiushang to do it anyway, and even Li Dingguo accepted Chen Wen's reconciliation, and he was already like the leader of the southeast Ming army.
The small army leader, which was once regarded as an overnight event, seemed to have turned into a behemoth like it overnight, and Sun Kewang said that it was impossible not to be afraid. But now, Huguang is still separated by a Qing army heavy army group that has just defeated the Ming army in the southwest, and Sun Kewang has very few means to use.
"Lord of the country, those nails have been buried, even if Chen Wen doesn't care, his generals may not have different intentions."
"What Ma Shangshu said is very true, the bait of the princes of one party is enough."
………………
“…… The king of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was led by the marshal to fight hard with one hand and one foot, and now the reversal of the southeast war situation is also the same. Qin Fan put the Son of Heaven under house arrest, and the decree came out of his own, and now he is interfering with the internal official appointment of my Jiangsu and Zhejiang princes, which is tolerable and unbearable. The last general thought that the Qin Domain would be the great enemy of our army in the future, and it was necessary to guard against it in advance. ”
The letter, written by Wu Dengke, was sent to Nanchang as a secret military intelligence document. A similar letter was also sent by Lou Jiye, who was in Jiujiang, for the same reason that he was promoted to the rank of knight.
It is a good thing to add officials to knighthood, but Sun Kewang made more moves to promote the five counts under Chen Wen's command to marquis, and at the same time, he also added the words of military affairs to the position of admiral. For example, Admiral Lou Jiye supervised Fujian Military Affairs, Wu Dengke Governor Guangdong Military Affairs, and Zhang Zisheng supervised Jiangxi Military Affairs. And Yin Yue's probably has similar words such as the commander of Zhejiang's military affairs, but the envoy has not yet arrived, and they don't know it yet.
It is inconvenient for Chen Wen to read the edict of his subordinates, but Li Ruixin is in Nanchang, and he was also on his side when the edict was announced.
"If it weren't for the emperor in his hands, he would be a rogue and worthy of being the king?"
Li Ruixin's resentment towards Sun Kewang has been a long time, and with Huang Degong's encirclement and suppression of the rogue, he naturally would not have any good impression of a prince like Sun Kewang, and even in his words, Sun Kewang caused chaos in the world at the beginning, but now he has become a prince, and he is crowned by a monkey.
However, the Yongli Son of Heaven, the co-owner of the major warlords of the Southern Ming Dynasty, is still in his hands, and a narrow son of heaven uses the status of the princes to make this Qin King do many things to gain legitimacy, such as burying nails for Chen Wen in the edict, and dividing the relationship between the generals and commanders of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies with the help of a technique similar to Tui'en Order.
"Dashuai, why don't you wait until Nanjing is recovered, then the army will enter Yungui and welcome the Son of Heaven back to the capital!"
