Controlling military force with literature is the most important system of the Ming Dynasty since Yu Qian was ordered to intervene in the affairs of the five military governors during the Jingtai period. The emergence of this system has a great deal to do with the support of the civil official group when Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne, but since it appeared, it will continue as a story, and even if Yu Qian died, it could not be rewritten.

The original dual system pattern of the Ming army in Dalanshan is also in line with this ancestral system if viewed from the perspective of civil and military, Wang Yi, the main of the two civil officials, is the supervising army, and Wang Jiang is mainly responsible for daily administration, including Huang Zhongdao, Mao Mingshan, Liu Yiming and later Chen Wen are only subordinate military generals under the command of civil officials, nothing more.

But with Wang Yi's capture, Chen Wen began to be in charge of the military affairs of the remnants of the Ming army, but in fact, he only existed as Wang Jiang's deputy, just like Wang Jiang used to be Wang Yi's deputy, but the affairs he was responsible for were slightly different.

The status of military generals has been promoted under special circumstances, but they are still under the control of civilian officials, even if Wang Jiang has never interfered in the affairs of the army.

However, when Wang Jiang was accidentally captured by the Qing army, there was no longer a figure in the old camp of Dalanshan who was the deputy of the civilian official supervising the army. Whether it is Sun Yu or other civil officials who have sat at the level of chief, they are not enough to overpower Chen Wen in terms of qualifications, especially because they are only Wang Yi and Wang Jiang's subordinates rather than civil officials appointed by Lu Jianguo.

Lack of qualifications and lack of authority from the imperial court to rely on made them unable to obtain the position of commander that Wang Yi and Wang Jiang had, and had to retreat to seek the status of a military supervisor who did not interfere in military affairs, even if the army supervisor would interfere in military affairs under normal circumstances.

In fact, Sun Yu is a very good choice, his ability and ethics are not bad, and he was personally promoted by Wang Yi and Wang Jiang, which is not much different from their identities. But in an old camp dominated by Ning Shao people, Sun Yu's Jinhua Mansion origin is a little dazzling. Especially at present, Ningshao is still under the control of the Qing army, and Jinhua has been recovered, which is especially obvious.

When Yan Zhiheng opened his mouth to ask, most of the people present showed embarrassed looks. Although these people have followed Wang Yi and Wang Jiang for many years, most of them are relatively low-level civil officials, such as Yan Zhiheng, although he is now the magistrate of Dongyang County. But in Dalanshan, it was just a master book, and most of the others were like this, and even slightly inferior. Only the older civil official who was a little higher-level, and who was only one of the heads of the Fifth Division, had just been appointed as the Tongzhi of Jinhua Mansion, and could barely compete with Sun Yu, who had presided over the Treasury Department and was now the prefect.

The problem, however, is that it is not enough to be able to fight in court. Whether it is Yan Zhiheng or the elderly civil official. Or the other people here, they all knew very well that if they wanted to inherit Wang Jiang's position, they must first get the support of Chen Wen, who had a heavy army. Sun Yu had an excellent relationship with Chen Wen, and they also cooperated very well when attacking Jinhua, and if they wanted to convince Chen Wen, they had to find a person with enough qualifications to make Chen Wen have nothing to say.

Only in this way can they logically take over Wang Jiang's position and firmly control the old battalion in the hands of their group of veteran members of the Dalanshan Ming Army, instead of completely evolving into Chen Wen as the leader. The "Chen Jiajun" supplemented by the Jinhua people.

Although it is more difficult, it is not impossible to choose a candidate. When in Dalan Mountain. The highest-ranking civil official below Wang Yi and Wang Jiang is Chu Jiuru, but he and Chen Wen have a grudge against killing his brother. Even if that incident is said to be Chu Suxian's violation of national law, the order of execution was also signed by Wang Jiang, but such a candidate is definitely unlikely to be supported by Chen Wen.

And under Chu Jiuru, it is Shen Tiaolun and Zou Xiaonan. Both of them had experience as overseers, even if only as overseers of one or half a battalion. Naturally, having this qualification can also silence opponents. And the two of them are the heads of the five divisions further down, and there is no need to bring it up if they can't compete with Sun Yu.

However, after the Battle of Siming Lake, Shen Tiaolun and Zou Xiaonan disappeared, even if Chen Wen won the battle behind the Siming Mountain Palace, they did not appear when the Ming army of Dalan Mountain survived. It really makes people start to doubt their position and situation.

"Director Chu knows where he is now, but it is impossible for Chen Dashuai to agree. It's a pity that Director Shen and Director Zou are not there, otherwise ......"

"Hey."

The crowd sighed, but at this moment, a voice in the crowd reawakened their hope.

"It's hard to say where Director Zou is, but Director Shen is the son of the Shen family of the Yuyao clan, the nephew of Mr. Qiuru, after the defeat of Siming Lake, the Tartars are still offering a reward to capture him, presumably hidden in the Yuyao Shen family, otherwise he would have been discovered."

The Mr. Qiu Ru in that mouth is Shen Guomo, a famous descendant of Yangming Xinxue in the late Ming Dynasty and one of the founders of Yaojiang Academy. Shen Guomo's character Uncle Ze, known as Qiuru, in his later years, lived in Shilang Mountain in Hengao, also known as Shilang Laoqiao, and was a very influential scholar in Shaoxing Wangxue in this era. At the same time, he is also Shen Tiaolun's uncle.

A word woke up the person in the dream, and everyone who heard this couldn't help but lift their spirits, but if they thought about it deeply, it was very difficult.

"Right now, we are in Jinhua, and if we want to go to Yuyao, we have to pass through Shengxian County, which is heavily defended by Tartars. And even if they can arrive safely and soundly, Yuyao is so big, and the Shen family is not a small family, how to find it? ”

Hearing this, the young civil official from before immediately stood up and said loudly: "The matter is man-made, if you don't do it, you won't succeed." When Wang Jingluo broke Shangyu and was attacked by the Fubiao camp, so many people died or surrendered, Wang Jingluo and Wang Governor would rather go away to Tiantai Mountain than give in, so there was the later of the Ming army of Dalan Mountain; After the defeat of Siming Lake, the king division of the entire Siming Mountain was wiped out, and the standard battalion was in hot pursuit, Chen Dashuai resolutely led the troops behind the palace, and defeated the Tartars with less than one-fifth of the inferior troops, and preserved the last fire of the king division of Dalan Mountain. ”

"If Wang Jingluo, Governor Wang, and Chen Dashuai don't choose to go against the current, how can Wang Shi recover this prefecture and county. At present, there is still hope on Director Shen's side, and I can't give up lightly. If you can trust you, you will leave for Yuyao early tomorrow morning, how can you invite Director Shen to assist Chen Dashuai in maintaining the overall situation. ”

The young civil official's generous speech suddenly pushed the already depressed atmosphere to a climax, and everyone who saw the hope praised it, and even Yan Zhiheng, who was getting older, also raised his palms and applauded the courage of the civil official. But at this moment. The elderly civil official who had interrupted Master Lu's speculation earlier shook his head and couldn't even breathe.

Cannot? Is there another way?

Hearing this, the young civil official couldn't help frowning, and then asked, "Why not?" ”

"I'm not saying that Xu Xiancheng's method is impossible, but the details are up for debate." As he spoke, the old civil servant stood up. motioned for everyone to sit down and listen to him finish.

"Xu County's spirit is commendable, but if you don't go to the post and go north to Yuyao instead, those new followers will inevitably inform Governor Sun of this. If Governor Sun invited Chen Dashuai to play His Royal Highness the Prison State for him, His Royal Highness the Prison State would not be able to veto this matter, and it would be too late for me to invite Director Shen at that time. Wouldn't it be better to send a crony north with a letter, and we would wait for him to be named? ”

These words immediately attracted the echo of everyone, and even that Xu Xiancheng also said that he was old and wanted to seek the country. And so, the matter was settled. After the elder acquaintance wrote the handwritten letter, everyone present named it, and the county man surnamed Xu, who was also familiar with Shen Tiaolun, found a cronie and family member to go north to Yuyao to deliver the letter.

After completing this matter, the civil officials dispersed after doing some elegant things done by literati, such as writing poems and singing harmony. However, there are not many days to get together in the recent period, and some people will stay in the city, such as the older Tongzhi; Some will go to work after the New Year, such as the newly appointed Yan Zhiheng of Dongyang County; There are even more people like Naxu County Cheng who are about to leave in the next two days and go to work before the year.

Say goodbye today. It may take a long time before we see each other again, or we may never see each other again. As a result, many of these people's poems have a kind of tragedy that is sluggish and easy to be cold, so that Chen Wen, who learned the general situation a few days later, was a little crying and laughing.

The civil officials of the old camp who wrote a letter to Shen Tiaolun by name originally agreed on the principle of secrecy, but there were some things in the poems he made.

If that's all it takes, anyway, Chen Wen's officers basically have nothing to do with illiteracy in terms of reciting poetry, and even Chen Wen's poetry is limited to the lame love poems of chasing his sister paper when he was in school and the obscene words on the wine party, and he is very unfamiliar with those things like mediocre. But there are some things in this world that can't stand a question.

A civil official attending the meeting made a poem, and thought it was good, so he should sing it with his friends, which was one of the favorite things of the literati in ancient China. In the process of singing, if someone has a heart to see something from the poem. Under the inquiry, everyone is a friend, so naturally they can't help but say it, and if they don't say it, they will clearly tell people "I believe you", such a thing is not easy for literati to do. But if it is said, this kind of inside story will be spread all over the city in "I will only tell you about this matter, don't spread it outside" and "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut", and Chen Wen's personal soldier Zhang Jun heard it from a friend of his brother-in-law in the old camp.

Listening to the ins and outs of this matter, and then recalling the battle of ****** overturning the city, the sentence that Xiucai rebelled for ten years should really be on the vast majority of scholars in the late Ming Dynasty.

In the first year of Yongli, because Lu Jianguo was invited by Zheng Cai to make trouble in Fujian, the military pressure on Fujian increased sharply, and the Qing army in Zhejiang was forced to go south to aid Fujian.

Hearing that the main force of the Qing army in Zhejiang was moving south, Huaxia, Wang Jiaqin, and Dong Zhining in the "Ningbo Six Crazy Students" joined forces with Tu Xianchen, Yang Wenqi, Yang Wenzan, Dong Deqin and others to conspire to organize the anti-Qing armed forces in eastern Zhejiang to recover Ningshao in one fell swoop, and then besiege Hangzhou.

To this end, they contacted Huang Binqing in Zhoushan through Feng Jingdi, and sent people to make an appointment with Wang Yi and Li Changxiang and other rebels to attack Shaoxing Mansion, and at the same time they also made an appointment with Chen Tianzhong and Zhong Mo, who were originally serving under Shi Kefa, as the Manchu Ningshao patrol Haidao Sun Zhixiu, and took Yinxian County, the capital of Ningbo, in one fell swoop.

At that time, the Qing army in eastern Zhejiang was tight, and one of the small Qing troops in Ningbo was ordered to go south to Taizhou, which made the Qing army here even more stretched, and the probability of success if their plan could ensure its suddenness was amazingly high.

But the problem is that the planners of these uprisings not only contacted the righteous army, the Qing army and the Zhoushan Ming army, but also connected with each other among acquaintances, and finally the news actually reached the ears of Xie Sanbin, the shameless villain. As a result, Xie Sanbin denounced it to the Qing army, which led to Wang Yi's lair being attacked by the Qing army in Ningbo, the fiasco of Huang Binqing's attack on Ningbo, and the failure of the Ningbo uprising, and the participants were captured and executed by the Qing army.

The most speechless thing is that when the Qing army captured Huaxia, Sun Zhixiu, the Manchu Ningshao patrol Haidao, coveted Xie Sanbin's huge family property, and falsely accused Xie Sanbin of being an accomplice of Huaxia and others, but because Huaxia disdained to be in the company of such villains, he said during the interrogation that Xie Sanbin was not worthy of being an accomplice with them, which led to the luck of the guy.

From historical records, Chen Wen knew that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were not stupid, and they could be said to be very smart. However, under the preferential treatment system of scholars in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, he scolded the emperor in the imperial court, bullied and bullied the generals, used the tax-free fields in his hometown to attract the people to donate, and even formed associations to bully local officials and hinder administration.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the readers who originally ordered Zhu Yuanzhang to study with swords to sharpen their morale shook their fans with incense powder one by one, and took the scholars to speak wildly in the crowd, but when they were really needed to do things, they didn't know what to do at all.

Born in the Internet era, Chen Wen knew very well that the anti-Qing movement in the Southern Ming Dynasty was nationalized, and there were relevant records in the county annals of almost every county, whether it was the uprising or the massacre by the Qing army after the defeat, which was written in the official history and wild history of that era.

In addition to the people who rebelled against the expropriation and tyranny of the Manchu officials, many of the others were conspired with, organized, and led by local respected scholars to fight against the Qing army. However, because these scholars are not pragmatic in their daily lives, they often make a lot of tricks after raising troops, and finally end up defeated, harming the people who trust them to rise together.

After reading the history of the Song and Ming dynasties, Chen Wen could not tolerate the supervision of the army by civil officials, not only because of his identity as a military general, but also because of the stupidity of the civilian officials leading the army, which really made him dare not repay even a trace of trust under the pressure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

When Wang Yi was still there, he was once ready to go south to Jinhua after breaking the Qing army's encirclement and suppression of Siming Mountain to open up a new base area; After Wang Yi was captured, it was also because Wang Jiang chose not to interfere in military affairs due to the sharp contrast caused by the fiasco in the Battle of Siming Lake and the great victory in the Battle of Siming Mountain, so that the two of them could work together to persevere.

It's just about the issue of civilian officials supervising the army, Chen Wen doesn't plan to challenge this unspoken rule for the time being, but the candidates for supervising the army must first of all not interfere in military affairs like Wang Jiang, and will do his best to support him to continue to regain lost territory. He believed that only in this way could the remnants of the Ming army, which should have been submerged in the sea of blood in Siming Mountain last year, continue to hold out in Jinhua Mansion, and even recover the whole of Zhejiang, and even the north and south of Beijing.

Because of this, no matter whether Shen Tiaolun would come or not, Chen Wen had already made up his mind to promote Sun Yu to the Lu Jian State as the military commander of western Zhejiang, as the only remaining civilian officer of the Ming army in Zhejiang.

As for the civilian group of the old battalion, it will not take long for these civil officials who are older than Sun Yu to integrate into the emerging "Zhejiang Ming Army" in the face of the "beauty" generated by the distance, and they are no longer simply part of the "Dalanshan Ming Army".

In this case, there is no need to rush the time of the above table. Because in his memory, Lu Jianguo seems to have gone to Jianguo in Xiamen in March of the sixth year of Yongli and declared Feng Yongli to be the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty. As long as he rushes after this point in time, he can logically hang up the line of the Yongli Imperial Court, which has been driven to Guizhou by the Qing army, without attracting the interference of the civil official group of the Lu Jianguo system that is closer to Zhejiang.

Now that he has made a decision on this matter, he must now devote all his energy to reorganizing his troops and horses, training his soldiers, and preparing for these things, such as money, food, and intelligence. (To be continued.) )
