Chapter 61: Disguise (II)
"The last general is not convinced!"
The first to shout the word disobedience was not Chen Wen, but Mao Mingshan, and it can even be said that Chen Wen hadn't thought about how to say it, and Mao Mingshan, who was straightforward, had already said it.
"After a while, how the Nantang battalion of Chen's guerrilla fought is obvious to all, why don't you let Chen's guerrilla lead his troops to participate in the battle, the Tartars came this time but Tian Xiong's thief's standard battalion, almost all of them are veterans who have fought for more than ten years, how can they win without doing their best at this time? If Jing Luo was worried about the back road, the last general was willing to send some soldiers to replace Chen Guerrilla. ”
Seeing that Mao Mingshan had already spoken his words, Huang Zhongdao had no choice but to get up and salute and tell him what he thought about it.
"After a little tolerance, the last general will think about the future, can you say that you will wait with me and make a reference, okay?"
Looking at everyone's incomprehension, as well as Chen Wen's eyes, which had begun to gradually be filled with anger and doubt, Wang Yi calmly pushed the stack of letters on the table to the side away from him.
"Guerrilla Chen, take it and see it yourself."
Hearing this, Chu Jiuru immediately understood, although he also believed that Chen Wen needed to be refrigerated for a period of time to sharpen his temperament, but at this moment, a person who had paid a lot of plans was excluded for an inexplicable reason, but he could imagine this frustration, and this also had his own strength, so that Chu Jiuru at this time was no longer embarrassed to look at Chen Wen again.
Chen Wen stood up, walked to Wang Yi's table in full view of everyone, and opened the letters one by one, and the words in the letters still appeared in front of him one after another.
"Wang Jing is slightly tolerant, Chen Guerrilla is outstanding, but it's just ......"
“…… The art of war is cloudy, the master can't be angry and raise the division, and the general can't be stunned and cause war, Chen's guerrilla temperament ......"
“…… This son is too arrogant and arrogant, even if he is good at training soldiers, he may not be ...... in wartime"
“…… Such a domineering person will undoubtedly be reckless in the future......"
“…… For the sake of the country, this son should sharpen his temperament before he can be useful, and I hope that Wang Jing will think deeply. ”
These letters came from various departments of the Ming Army in Siming Mountain, some of which Chen Wen had heard, and some of which he had never heard of at all, but these people were able to convey the same theory together, that is, Chen Wen could not be reused, and if Wang Yi led him to fight in this battle, they would not come.
The inscription of these letters is the leader of the Ming army of the various departments of Siming Mountain, they have different troops, different subordinates, different backgrounds, and different personalities, but they can be so united, and no one will ever imagine that this is from the hands of the various forces of the Southern Ming Dynasty who are still in internal strife.
Patiently seeing the end, Chen Wen finally saw a letter that was different, and it was normal to think about it, after all, this was the handwriting of a famous person who had left a name in the history books.
“…… After completing my brother Mingjian, Chen Wen's son must be the remnants of the eunuch party. The eunuch party is causing trouble in the world...... Chase them away, and don't let them cause trouble to the court, so that they will be ruined......"
The inscription is impressively written with the five big characters of the foolish brother Feng Jingdi.
From the very beginning, Chen Wen knew very well that this was the letter that Wang Yi had mentioned to him that Feng Jingdi was willing to join forces to join forces to participate in the war, but obviously Wang Yi did not tell him all the contents of this letter, maybe it was related to the fact that he had just read those letters and had not yet been sent.
It's just that there is a concept that still surprises him......
Eunuchs?
Just because I support Yu Huang's theory, and opposing the beggar teacher who went to Japan is a eunuch?
Not to mention whether Lao Tzu is a eunuch or not, what happened to the eunuch party?
Who wrote the swan song of the historian, the rhymeless separation?
It's a eunuch! It's a eunuch!
Who improved papermaking and passed on human civilization?
It's a eunuch! It's a eunuch!
Who is the border and the far away, pacifying the southwest barbarians for the Tang Dynasty?
It's a eunuch, it's a eunuch!
Who is in charge of national politics and saves the Tang Dynasty from falling?
It's a eunuch, it's a eunuch!
Who is the northwest of the border, through the slight Youyan?
It's a eunuch, it's a eunuch!
Who is the one who sets sail and raises the prestige of the country thousands of miles away?
It's a eunuch! It's a eunuch!
Who is the one who single-handedly suppresses the Donglin Party that has brought disaster to the country and the people?
It's a eunuch! It's a eunuch!
No matter what era it is, anyone can say it, but it may not be possible to do it.
Talk about your heart and soul on weekdays, and report the king when you die?
If you have done your duty to talk about state affairs, government affairs, and your due diligence, why do you need to die in danger?
A bunch of mouth cannons!
After reading these letters, Chen Wen took the trouble to put them in the envelope, and then respectfully returned them to Wang Yi.
They had a good point, and the last general was speechless. Since there is nothing to do with the last general here, there are still some urgent military affairs in the last general's camp that need to be dealt with, so I will leave. ”
Saying that, Chen Wen calmly left the hall of the Chinese army in the eyes of everyone, at least in the eyes of the Dalanshan officials present.
Wang Yi never expected Chen Wen to react like this, but it was precisely because of Chen Wen's reaction that he firmly believed in Wang Jiang's previous evaluation of Chen Wen.
"I have already reviewed Chen's account books, and these days, every penny of his money has been spent on raising and training soldiers, and he has never embezzled even a penny, and even the reward you and I gave him for reporting money was used to raise soldiers, so it is strange that such a person cannot train elite soldiers...... It is not surprising to beat Chu Suxian for the sake of military salary. ”
"It's been more than two months since he went up the mountain, and Guerrilla Chen seems to be doing things about trying to recover every day, and he hasn't even provoked women, which is really rare at his age, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't even be interested in men......"
"Chen Guerrilla is only one personal soldier to this day, and he is still the wife and brother of Hu Er's wife, and eighty percent of them should only be ...... for the sake of you and me."
"There is nothing to take from money, nothing to do with beauty, and even a life that requires dedicated service seems to be a luxury for him. It is unheard of for a young military general from a wealthy family to suffer so much, even if Qi Shaobao used to be greedy for beauty, but this Chen Wen seems to be full of how to drive out the Tartars. It's a good thing, I'm afraid, and it's not a good thing......"
"Wanxun, Chen Wen is not so much a domineering person, but rather a worker who works for the country and is clumsy for his life......"
Work to seek the country, clumsy to seek a living.
This is the evaluation that Zhang Juzheng once received, although Wang Yi and Wang Jiang did not understand where the belief that supported Chen Wen to act like this came from, but Zhang Juzheng's fate, and the possible meaning of the country in Wang Jiang's mouth, really made Wang Yi shudder.
"Furen, you have already had the merit of praising paintings, and the court will not forget it. If you are talented, then you will not be able to get credit in the future? Maybe you will complain about me today, but for the sake of the dynasty and your future, this credit should still be shared with others. ”
Looking at the back of Chen Wen leaving, Wang Yi took a deep breath, and silently read it in his heart, as if he was comforting the subordinate who was drifting away, or comforting himself.
Outside the courtyard of the Chinese army hall, a group of officials and generals attending the meeting and the soldiers were gagging together, Zhang Jun, as the wife and brother of Hu Er, the entourage of Wang Yi, was now the rising star of the Dalanshan Ming Army, and the personal soldiers of Chen Wen, the commander of the Nantang Battalion, naturally attracted much attention.
At this moment, a group of people heard footsteps coming from the compound, and they thought that the meeting was over, but they only saw Chen Wen walking out with a cold face. Seeing this, the crowd immediately saluted, but the object of their salute walked straight over as if they had not seen it at all.
Zhang Jun followed Chen Wen on the way back to the camp, and felt that since Chen Wen came out of the Chinese army hall, the temperature of the entire Dalan Mountain seemed to have dropped a lot, so cold that he didn't even dare to open his mouth along the way.
Returning to his room, Chen Wen sat on the Taishi chair behind the table. The moment his butt touched the surface of the chair again, Chen Wen only felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness rushing over him, as if it was about to drown him.
As the formulator of the plan, Chen Wen knew very well that the number and quality of the Ming army sent by Siming Mountain this time were put aside first, and there were nearly 10,000 soldiers alone, even more than twice the sum of the Qing army's standard battalion and Shaoxing's green battalion.
If you calculate from the information obtained by Wang Yi, Chu Jiuru and several Dalanshan generals in these days, the elite of the family and the pro-soldiers has reached nearly 2,000 people, and this order of magnitude of troops is more than enough to fight against the Qing army on the northern front.
And although his hundreds of soldiers seem to be relatively elite, they are almost all infantry, not to mention the number, and the number is too small, even if the 1,000 people are filled according to Wang Yi's requirements, and compared with the six or seven thousand Ming troops of Siming Mountain, the result is not known.
"This is the so-called crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, right?"
Seeing the content of those letters, Chen Wen immediately remembered Yang Zhan, the general of the Sichuan Ming Army who was murdered by his colleagues in the third year of Yongli in history.
In the days when Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, the Sichuan Ming army fought against Zhang Xianzhong's crazy looting of people's wealth in order to be self-sufficient, but it still rarely won victories; However, Jiading Prefecture controlled by Yang Zhan was able to resume production and be self-sufficient, and later blocked Zhang Xianzhong's way south out of Sichuan, defeating it in one fell swoop, and the famous world-class treasure "Zhang Xianzhong Jiangkou Shenyin" in Chen Wen's era was caused by Zhang Xianzhong in the battle that was defeated by Yang Zhan.
But such a military general who knew how to cherish the people's power finally died under the conspiracy of his colleagues who went to seek refuge. After Yang Zhan's death, Jiading Prefecture also fell into the hands of those murderers, and the people of Sichuan, who had finally settled down in this troubled era, once again ushered in the fate of being displaced, and even slaughtered by the rebels.
"I am planning with my heart in my heart and tirelessly busy, just so that you righteous people who are not willing to submit to the Manchu Qing for the time being can have the opportunity to continue to keep the clothes of the Han family and live."
"But now it seems that all this is just a matter of overthinking, it turns out that you don't think of me as one of you at all, it turns out that I am just wishful thinking from beginning to end!"
Leaning on the back of the Taishi chair, the fatigue and weakness on the back seemed to be slightly relieved, but then even breathing began to be difficult.
"Since you don't think you need Lao Tzu, then you can play by yourself, Lao Tzu will not be accompanied!"
The anger in his heart ignited all his powerlessness in an instant, and even the porcelain vase from the folk kiln that Chen Wen once called an antique on the Duobao grid in front of him became more and more obstructive.
"Smash it!"
"Anyway, you didn't buy this thing, so it's no pity if it is smashed."
"If you don't break it, you can't stand it, and after you smash it, you can put other things you like more."
"Smash it!"
“……”
Countless voices echoed in his heart, all of which prompted Chen Wen, whose mind was already filled with anger, to get up from the Taishi's chair, he walked up to Duobaoge, took the porcelain vase in his hand, and then lifted it high and fell heavily to the ground.
With a "bang", the blue and white cloud dragon pattern porcelain vase that Chen Wen once thought could be exchanged for a suite when he took it back came into close contact with the hard ground under the force of gravity and the top-down force exerted by Chen Wen. For a moment, this piece is worthless now, but if it is sold as an antique in a few hundred years, the vase will no longer be there.
With the loud sound of porcelain breaking, Zhang Jun, who had always been guarding the door as a personal soldier, hurriedly rushed in, but he was greeted with just a simple word.
"Get out!"
With this word, not only anger erupted, but even the resentment in my heart dissipated a lot.
Panting as if exhausted, Chen Wen looked at the shattered porcelain vase in front of him, and he knew very well that it would be difficult for even the most skillful craftsman to reassemble and glue it together.
If it is broken, it will never return to the original state, but the vast majority of people have never broken the jar, and their hearts are still full of hope for the future. Even if these hopes were just delusions in that period of history, everyone has the right to dream and pursue a better life.
If I choose to give up at this moment, then why should I stay, it is not easier and safer to start as a staff member under Zheng Chenggong?
Wasn't the purpose of my stay to give these people a chance to survive and lead them against the tyrannical rule of the Manchus in Zhejiang?
Isn't it?
Signaling the frightened and shivering young man at the door to clean up the mess on the ground, Chen Wen returned to the table again, and after calming down, he revised the remedial plan he had made earlier to deal with the possibility of defeat.
"All men are created equal, so we all have the right to choose our path. Lao Tzu is not the Virgin, since you don't want to live anymore, then you go and die, Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu's Nantang Camp will definitely try to live with those who are willing to trust us. ”
"I'm convinced of that!"
The next day, with the beginning of the mobilization of the middle battalion, the Nantang battalion also received an official order to stay in the old battalion of Dalanshan. Except for a very small number of recruits who were glad, all the veterans and the vast majority of recruits were quite dissatisfied with the order, even angry. In their opinion, the Nantang battalion they are in has extraordinary combat effectiveness, and not allowing them to fight is not only despising their ability, but also hindering their promotion and wealth!
It was only in Chen Wen's army that the military law was as great as the sky, and there was no mutiny that often appeared in the normal Ming army to vent dissatisfaction and anger, but this was only suppressed, and these negative emotions still existed.
In this regard, Chen Wen only respected the military order of the Jinglu Yamen, and sent Wu Dengke, who had always been regarded as his confidant, to take over the battalion belonging to the other two garrisons of the middle battalion in the town south of Dalan Mountain with the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team C and Ding Whistle, which belonged to the other two garrisons of the middle battalion, and only took over the defense area. At the same time, he also gave Li Ruixin a secret mission.
On the sixth day of October in the fifth year of Lu Jianguo, if this day had been placed in the north of the later generations, the heating would have already begun. Of course, in the spirit of "feeding the people to serve the fog", the concentration of PM2.5 should have exceeded 1,000.
It's just that at the end of the Ming Dynasty four hundred years ago, on the Dalan Mountain in the hinterland of Siming Mountain in Zhejiang, even if it was still in the Xiaoice period, the temperature of more than ten degrees Celsius did not make people feel too cold. It's just that the only thing that makes people a little unhappy is that today is clearly a big day to go on the expedition, but it ushered in a hazy weather where the mountain rain is coming, and it seems that God doesn't want to see the disturbances of mortals in the nether realm.
On the colonel field of the old camp of Dalanshan, the four garrisons of the middle battalion need to go out with Wang Yi as the soldiers and horses directly under the Jingluo Mansion, and they are occupying the middle part of the colonel field at this moment, waiting to be reviewed. Another army stationed in the old camp, the sixth battalion of the Ming Army in Dalanshan, and the Nantang battalion under Chen Wen stood on both sides of the school field, silently doing the work of green leaves.
After the third drum, Wang Yi, who was wearing armor, ascended to the point platform under the tail of his subordinates. After inviting the sword of Shang Fang and the letter of the scripture seal, after saluting the line of the Lu Jianguo to the east, Wang Yi began to read the military order.
“…… Hu Qi is fierce, and the state affairs are bumpy. After Jiashen, Yidi invaded China, shaved his hair and changed clothes, slaughtered the people, the Han family was in danger, and the civilization of clothing was about to be cut off......"
“…… This official was ordered by His Royal Highness to lead the armies of Siming Mountain in order to recover. His Royal Highness Lai Jianguo is blessed with blessings, and the soldiers use their lives, break the Shangyu twice, retreat Hu Qi, and protect the people here......"
“…… Now the Tartars gathered a large army and invaded the land of Siming Mountain, and the official decided to meet the Tartars with a large army, so as to achieve a complete victory, so as to preserve the peace of the people here, and then recover the lost land, and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty. ”
"This order, through the military affairs of Zhejiang, the military department of the left squire and the left deputy capital of the imperial envoy Wang, the sixth day of October in the fifth year of the country."
After killing the bull and sacrificing the flag, after three calls for victory, the middle camp came out of the old camp in order, and Wang Yi set off last under the escort of the Jingluo Mansion personal army.
"On this expedition, Furen must guard this fundamental place. If you win a complete victory, the court will not forget your achievements in guarding the palace and praising paintings, and this official will definitely ask His Royal Highness the Prison State to award you official honors. ”
Listening to the person who should have been comforted comforting himself at this moment, Chen Wen's heart, which had already become cold and hard, actually had a trace of sourness. He knew very well that since he came to Dalan Mountain, Wang Yi has always been vigilant while trusting his ability, and it is not difficult for him to feel it when he is in it.
just thought that he came from nothing, and in less than three months, he became an official general of the Ming army leading hundreds of soldiers, which in addition to Chen Wen's own efforts, more came from Wang Yi's support. If it weren't for Wang Yi, he might have already become a corpse at this moment, let alone have such a seed army.
"The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the strategy, and will not let the Chinese people here be slaughtered for the Tartars!"
"Very good, this official also firmly believes that Fu Ren's words must be believed."
After the swearing-in meeting, Chen Wen immediately ordered the Nantang camp to train as before, but the soldiers with their families in the Siming Mountain area had to immediately concentrate all their families in the old camp to deal with the changes.
The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and the battle of Siming Mountain, which was half a month late and changed the location of the decisive battle, finally kicked off.
PS: The original history has changed, and a major war that has not happened in history is about to begin, in fact, this battle can be said to be a reproduction of many wars in the Southern Ming Dynasty and even throughout the late Ming Dynasty. Both sides are full of confidence in victory, but there is only one real winner!
