Chen Wen didn't intend to pour meaningless dirty water on himself for the sake of a momentary pleasure, but punishment and torture were necessary.

Leaving Cao Conglong's apartment under house arrest that night, Chen Wen never paid any more attention. A few days later, the Zhaozhong Temple and the Martyrs' Shrine, which were rebuilt from two large mansions in the city, also carried out a grand first sacrifice.

The Zhaozhong Temple was built in the former residence of Zhu Dadian, a scholar of the Inspectorate University, in order to pay tribute to the people who died in the Jinhua Massacre. Chen Wen divided the city of Jinhua into dozens of areas, built pavilions according to the direction of the region, and set up a stone tablet engraved with the people killed in the area in the pavilion, thinking that it was an eternal era. The most important hall is the chief priest Zhu Dadian, and other civil and military officials such as staff Du Xueshen and staff general Yu Jiyin are enshrined next to it. Outside the Zhaozhong Temple, there is also a kneeling statue of Ma Jinbao, as for other major Manchu generals who participated in the Jinhua Massacre like Boluo, there is enough place in the square outside, just waiting for them to be captured one by one in the future or dug up before casting the kneeling statue. It is always necessary for future generations to remember this painful past and the fate of those who slaughtered the Chinese people.

Regarding Zhu Dadian's sacrifice, as a fellow villager and former staff, Sun Yu stabilized the situation in Yiwu County after the Ming army recovered Fucheng, and then returned to Fucheng, which had been absent for a long time, and carried out a large-scale memorial ceremony.

When the construction of the Zhaozhong Temple was completed, Sun Yu shirked the responsibility of presiding over the sacrifice, and Chen Wen took the lead in the sacrifice. However, after the sacrifice was over, looking at the statues of Zhu Dadian and those former colleagues in the main hall, Sun Yu still couldn't help but burst into tears, and the earnest words of "not being able to have the honor to die with all the monarchs in this life is really a lifelong regret" Chen Wen was speechless for a while.

However, it wasn't until a moment later that Sun Yu, who had recovered his strength, looked at Chen Wen with a smile on his face. Because he knew very well that he did not die together, but he had the privilege of writing down the surnames of those who died first, and building an ancestral hall for future generations to remember, so that his colleagues could receive eternal incense offerings, and that was enough.

And all this started from persuading Chen Wen to stay in Zhejiang in Dalanshan......

Different from the Zhaozhong Ancestral Hall, the Loyal Martyrs' Shrine commemorates the fallen martyrs of his Jinhua Ming Army. They died in battle to drive out the Tartars and restore the old land of China, and they should be remembered and fed by future generations. However, unlike the Zhaozhong Shrine, the kneeling statue in front of the Martyrs' Shrine was not a Manchu official, but Cao Conglong, the former governor of Zhejiang, who had just been imprisoned for launching a rebellion, because his actions caused the situation to once again favor the Qing army and failed the sacrifices of these soldiers.

At the end of the memorial, although he needed to be distracted by many things such as confiscating family property and dividing land, Chen Wen still returned to Longyou with a large amount of grain and grass that had not been confiscated.

"It's only June now, and there is still half a year to go, so there are still a lot of things that can be done."

………………

When Chen Wen returned to Quzhou, in the far north, in the Forbidden City, which had been reduced to a nest of tigers and wolves, the high-ranking officials and eunuchs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were speechless in the hall where they had designed to break Chen Wen first and then fight Zheng Chenggong.

To their surprise, the Jinhua Ming army, which was at an absolute disadvantage in strength, sent troops in advance and successfully repelled the Dubiao battalion, not only taking down Longyou County, but also surrounding Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, in the capital of Quzhou. The Eight Banners of the Hangzhou Garrison, which they had high hopes for, joined the two elites of the Zhejiang Green Battalion, Raising Bids and Fubiao, to march under the city. It's just that they don't know that the defense system called Anhua Town Fort has begun to gradually evolve into a nightmare for the Qing army in Zhejiang.

Due to Chen Wen's offensive in Zhejiang, Zheng Chenggong of Fujian no longer had the interference of the green battalions in Fujian and Zhejiang, which were aided by waves in history, and steadily made Zhangzhou Fucheng three layers and three layers outside. Although there was a lot of grain in Zhangzhou, the long-term siege and the days when not even a single reinforcement could be seen still led to a further increase in the panic of the people. Especially in the last month, the Qing army has begun to flee the city to surrender to the Ming army in Fujian, and it may not be long before the siege will end with the collapse of the Qing army.

In addition, the southwest battlefield, which had nothing to do with these two southeastern Ming armies, had been changed to the Yongli Emperor as the orthodox Western thief remnants of the Ming Dynasty in April, and a Ming army commander named Li Dingguo captured Jingzhou, and Shen Yongzhong, the Duke of Shun, jumped north, and the southwest Ming army recovered most of the prefectures and counties in Hunan. And this Li Dingguo is marching towards Guangxi at the moment, and it seems that the posture is intended to restore the two Guangzhou, and then connect with the southeastern Ming army.

In just half a year, the situation took a turn for the worse, not to mention the southwest, on the southeast battlefield, Chen Wen of Zhejiang involved too many Manchu mobile forces in the southeast. Not only Zheng Chenggong of Fujian, but also Zhang Zisheng, the Pingjiang Bo on the battlefield in Jiangxi, has also broken through according to reports, if it were not for the news he just got, Chen Wen was forced to return to the division to quell the rebellion due to the rebellion launched by the civilian officials of the supervisory army in the rear, but I am afraid that now Quzhou has been lost, and the Ming army in Jiangxi and Zhejiang is completely connected.

Early this morning, the 800-mile expedited by Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, had been sent to the imperial front, Chen Wen quelled the rebellion, and seemed to have plans to fight Quzhou again, and the Qing army in Hangzhou was still in that Anhua town, so he hoped that the Manchu court could send "real Manchurian soldiers" to help suppress.

The Manchu Eight Banners Army is the core servant of the Manchu Emperor, and unlike the cannon fodder-like green battalion soldiers, even the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners can't be compared, so naturally they will not be used easily. Moreover, with the expansion of land enclosure and surrender, the original Manchurian soldiers began to enjoy wealth and nobility in Beizhili, and there was also a certain resistance to the bloody battle with the Ming army in the south.

However, even so, after a heated discussion, the magnates present decided to send a large army south, with Arzin, the commander of the escort army, as the general of Dingnan, and Gushan Ezhen Malashi to the south. Not only Chen Wen in Zhejiang, it is best to completely eradicate the southeastern Ming army of Zheng Chenggong and others in one fell swoop. As for Li Dingguo, who entered Guangxi, let the Han vassal kings of Liangguang deal with it, and there is no need to use more troops for the time being.

The general direction has been agreed, but the specific details need to be discussed during the discussion. Now, Hong Chengchou barely squeezed into the core team of the slave chief Fulin, but the unexpected performance of Chen Wen, a hereditary military general he had never heard of, still made his plan a little frustrated.

Not only is it a prediction one step ahead, but his identity is also a mystery.

The governor of Zhili not only could not find Yu Ding Chen Wen in the records of the right guard of Tianjin, but even from the Qingzhou left guard of the Hongwu Dynasty, there was no record of the hereditary hundred households Chen Youdi, which led to the inability to use the means of coercion with relatives, which really made him feel a little unusual.

Could it be that Chen Wen is just a pseudonym, and the hereditary hundred households of Tianjin Right Guard are also fictitious identities. If this is the case, perhaps there is a larger anti-Qing group behind this general. It's just that whether to investigate or not, Hong Chengchou is still a little hesitant now.

………………

On July 12 of the sixth year of Yongli, it has been more than half a year since arriving in Fujian, and the civil and military nobles of the Lu Jian Dynasty have been transferred to the banner of the Fujian Ming Army in large numbers under the exclusion of Zheng Chenggong, and even among the only three nobles left when Yang Can of the Jinyi Guard set off, Yingyi Bo Ruan Jun and Pingyi Marquis Zhou Hezhi have also received the dispatch of Zheng Jun, only Zhang Mingzhen, Marquis of Dingxi, and a very small number of civil officials are still struggling to support Cao Conglong's fantasy of instigating Chen Wenbing to enter Taizhou.

But today, as the envoy sent by Chen Wen arrived in Jinmen, the monarchs and ministers of Lu Jianguo listened in amazement as Zhang Jun, the captain of Chen Wen's personal army, told the details of Cao Conglong's rebellion. Because they knew that Cao Conglong's reckless behavior had caused the two sides to completely tear their faces, and Chen Wen's side had completely lost hope.

Looking at these old courtiers who were the only remaining in the civil and military classes, Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, sighed as if he was ten years old, and then sent someone to invite a civil official under Zheng Chenggong's curtain.

"Your Highness, if you wait a little longer, maybe there will be a turnaround."

Hearing this, Lu Jianguo shook his head, and then said with a wry smile: "This time, Yunlin is like this for the sake of widows, and Yuan Fu doesn't need to persuade him anymore." ”

After a while, the civil official under Zheng Chenggong's curtain who was responsible for entertaining Lu Jianguo suppressed his excitement and rushed to the hall as the main hall. ”

In the original history, King Lu went to Jianguo in March, but with Chen Wenguang's recovery of Jinhua, the Lu Jianguo Group pinned its hopes on this to revive its strength, which led to the occurrence of Cao Conglong's rebellion, and it has been postponed until now that the Lu Jianguo Group has changed to Yongli Tianzi as the orthodox, and the Ming army with Zhongxing Daming as the name is nominally under the banner of a Son of Heaven.

At the same time, Lu Jianguo's self-de-Jianguo name also means the transfer of Cao Conglong's judicial power. It's just that he originally hoped that Cao Conglong would have a chance to live, but with this day, Chen Wen's prophecy began to be confirmed one by one, and on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the sixth year of Yongli, Cao Conglong, the former governor of Zhejiang, chose to cut himself in the constant torture from the depths of his soul. Because he has lost the courage to face the possible tragedy, and he is also well aware that what he has done before is no longer qualified to live to meet the new era.
