Chapter 771: Guan Loyal Liang Huafeng

The Jiangning Governor's Yamen Station was originally the famous Heshan Academy in Suzhou, which was changed to the Ya Office during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and after the Qing court changed the Ming Dynasty to Jiangnan Province, the Jiangning Governor was set up in Suzhou, with jurisdiction over Suzhou, Songjiang, Jiangning, Huai'an, Yangzhou and other prefectures and counties.

After Jiang Guozhu returned to Suzhou from Jiangning, he and Guan Xiaozhong were busy recovering the lost territory and monitoring the pirates who had not yet withdrawn from Chongming. On the third day after the fall of Jiangning, that is, on September 12, Jiang Guozhu, who was taking time to listen to the play with Yan Shaoqing, the prefect of Suzhou, received this news that caught him off guard.

Yan Shaoqing was also frightened, this person was very loyal to the Qing Dynasty. In the tenth year of Shunzhi, when Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan entered the Yangtze River, the officials of Shangxu County once wanted to hold Yan Shaoqing hostage and return to Ming anyway, and threatened him with a knife several times, but Yan Shaoqing refused to surrender. Later, Zhou Guozuo, the governor of Jiangning, arrived with his troops, and Yan Shaoqingfang picked up his life. Because of his insistence on not surrendering to the thief, Jiang Guozhu, who was transferred to Jiangnan to replace Zhou Guozuo, specially promoted Yan Shaoqing to the Qing court to be promoted to the post of prefect of Suzhou.

When Zheng Jun came, many officials in Suzhou had fornications with Zheng Jun, but Yan Shaoqing firmly believed that Zheng Jun could not take Nanjing, so he only ordered the city gate to be strictly guarded, and no one was allowed to leave the city, and no one was allowed to enter outside the city. When Zheng's army was defeated in Nanjing, all the officials and gentry in the city admired the prefect's unique vision and knew that the bandits were unreliable. Later, someone spoke to Yan Shaoqing, saying that Qian Qianyi was very active when the bandits came, and acted as a lobbyist for the Zheng thief, so he should be locked up. Yan Shaoqing was moved, but he didn't dare to do it, because Qian Qianyi was not only the leader of the Jiangnan literary circle, but also had a personal relationship with Lang Tingzuo, the governor of Liangjiang, so he didn't dare to do this thing that offended the Jiangnan gentry and scholars without the clear instructions of the governor Yamen.

Guan Xiaozhong led his troops to Kunshan, but Jiang Guozhu had no soldiers, so he immediately sent someone to inform Guan Xiaozhong of the news and asked him to immediately lead his troops back to Suzhou. In addition, Jiang Guozhu asked Yan Shaoqing to go to Changzhou in person, and asked Liang Huafeng to guard Changzhou no matter what.

After Yan Shaoqing arrived in Changzhou, he not only saw Liang Huafeng, but also saw the black forehead of the university scholar. Liang Huafeng's side received the news of the loss of Nanjing earlier than Jiang Guozhu and Yan Shaoqing, because one of his soldiers and horses was attacked by the Taiping army at Jintan, and one of the soldiers and horses left in Zhenjiang was also wiped out by the Taiping army, and only a dozen or so people fled back.

Knowing that Nanjing was lost, Liang Huafeng was no less than a bolt from the blue at that time, and he never understood how the Taiping army ran to Nanjing and how to capture this majestic city.

Liang Huafeng didn't understand, and he didn't understand it, when he left Jiangning, Prince An Yue Le personally led the army to suppress Zhejiang, it was only a few days of effort, Nanjing was lost, Yue Le was also captured, and he had just taken out the emperor's secret decree to Liang Huafeng, and he hadn't left for Suzhou to give another secret decree to Guan Zhi.

Esehei asked Liang Huafeng if he could recapture Nanjing and save Prince An, and Liang Huafeng's answer disappointed him. Liang Huafeng clearly said that he only had less than 5,000 soldiers in his hands, and if he defended the city, he could still maintain it, but what did he do about this siege? Zheng thief and bandits' more than 100,000 troops failed to take Nanjing, what about him? Besides, Zhenjiang has been recovered by the Taiping army, and if you want to take Nanjing, you must first take Zhenjiang, otherwise, he will be copied by the Zhenjiang Taiping army before he arrives in Nanjing.

There was no way to do it, so he asked Liang Huafeng what he should do now. Liang Huafeng said that the top priority was to bring over the 8,000 soldiers in Guan Xiaozhong's hands, so that he would have the ability to hold Jiangnan and hold out until the emperor's army arrived. After thinking about it, he agreed to do so, anyway, the emperor had already issued an order to ask Liang Huafeng to capture Guan and be allegiant. But there is another concern about the black forehead, that is, once Liang Huafeng wins the allegiance of Guan, what should Songjiang's Ma Fengzhi do? This person is a grass on the wall, if he knew that Nanjing was occupied by the Ming army, he would definitely rebel. Without allegiance to him, Jiangnan can't be saved.

Liang Huafeng said that there is no need to worry about Ma Fengzhi, this person is a rebel and a Ming, and he has no courage to attack him, and it is likely that he will continue to wait and see like the last time the bandits entered the river.

There was no better way to do it, so he agreed to Liang Huafeng's request, and was about to bring Guan Allegiance from Suzhou, and when he was discussing how to coax Guan Allegiance to come, Yan Shaoqing rushed from Suzhou.

Yan Shaoqing conveyed Jiang Guozhu's request for Liang Huafeng to hold Changzhou, Liang Huafeng was noncommittal, and asked Yan Shaoqing to go back, let Guan Xiaozhong lead the army to Changzhou, and the two armies worked together to recapture Nanjing. It can't be recaptured, with the combined efforts of the two armies, how can they hold Changzhou.

Esehei is a cabinet scholar, a native of Manzhou, and the highest official in Jiangnan at the moment, Yan Shaoqing did not dare to agree to his words, and hurried back to Suzhou. But in Lücheng Town, on the border of Changzhou and Suzhou, Yan Shaoqing accidentally learned from several Manchurian soldiers who ran out of Nanjing that the imperial court had issued an order for Liang Huafeng to arrest Guan Zhongzhong and Jiang Guozhu.

This news surprised Yan Shaoqing, and he didn't doubt it, because these soldiers were indeed real Manchukuo, and one of them was still Goshha of Prince An Yue Le. After they escaped from Nanjing, they arrived in Yixing, which would be exactly the time to go to Changzhou to find a university scholar. Thinking of the fact that Esehei and Liang Huafeng want to manage their allegiance to Changzhou, Yan Shaoqing still doesn't understand that this is the Hongmen Banquet, Guan Zhizhong really came to Changzhou, and he will definitely be taken down, and his soldiers and horses will also be received by Liang Huafeng.

Yan Shaoqing was beating a drum in his heart, very hesitant, not knowing whether to tell Jiang Guozhu the news, after all, it was Jiang Guozhu who promoted him from the appointment of Shangyan County to the prefect of Suzhou, and promised to ensure that he would be appointed as the governor of Jiangning in the future, so that if he served for a few more years, he would have the opportunity to serve as a governor in the future. But once Jiang Guozhu is arrested, he will lose the backstage, and I am afraid that he will be implicated, and even the prefect of Suzhou will not be able to do it. After thinking about it, Yan Shaoqing decided to tell Jiang Guozhu the news, and he bet on Jiang Guozhu and Guan Xiaozhong. Because Liang Huafeng's soldiers and horses are not more loyal than Guan Zhi, and the Taiping army wants to march into the south of the Yangtze River, the first one to fight is Liang Huafeng. If Liang Huafeng is defeated, the only thing that the imperial court can rely on in this Jiangnan is Guan Xiaozhong and Jiang Guozhu, and I am afraid that the imperial court will not talk about any secret orders to take people, but will rely on Jiang and Guan two people very much.

As an official in the Qing Dynasty, loyalty alone is far from enough, and this background is even more important. Yan Shaoqing made up his mind, hurried back to Suzhou, and entered the governor's yamen as soon as he entered the city.

Jiang Guozhu listened to what Yan Shaoqing said, his face was pale, and he sat in the hall for a long time, but then his face remained unchanged, and asked Yan Shaoqing to monitor the people below and not let anyone move.

Guan Xiaozhong hurried back to Suzhou by horse, entered the city late at night, and after a secret discussion between the governor Yamen and Jiang Guozhu, he returned to Kunshan at dawn, and then several Su Song generals among the generals were secretly eliminated, and led the army directly back to Suzhou City.

Ma Fengzhi of Songjiang was quite puzzled when he learned that Guan Xiaozhong led the army back to Suzhou, and he didn't know what Guan Xiaozhong's move meant. Since Guan Xiaozhong led the troops to Kunshan, Ma Fengzhi has been wary of the management department, and always feels that the Qing court will settle accounts with him after the autumn, even if he sells his strength at the last moment, so that Zheng Jun can not gain a foothold in Chongming, the Qing court still has to settle its own accounts.

These days, Ma Fengzhi doesn't know how he came over, he is worried every day, and he has hope. After Zheng Chenggong failed to ask the Qing court to surrender, Ma Fengzhi became even more desperate, and had already sent his naval divisions twice to attack the Zheng army around Chongming, and both sides had losses. But even so, his heart was always unstable, for fear that Guan Allegiance would suddenly lead the army to kill.

Now that Guan Xiaozhong suddenly withdrew his troops back to Suzhou without saying a word, Ma Fengzhi couldn't help but understand, otherwise he would not be able to sleep. He didn't have to wait long, and the news that Nanjing had been recovered by the Taiping army reached the Songjiang military camp.

After Ma Fengzhi was in a daze, he laughed, and the dark clouds that had shrouded his face for days dissipated at once. He knew that this time, the Qing court would no longer be able to settle its own accounts. He will also be able to re-bet to maximize his profits.

Qian Qianyi's third letter this year was secretly sent to Ma Fengzhi, in which Qian Qianyi asked Ma Fengzhi to return to justice immediately, but Ma Fengzhi did not give any reply to the person sent by Qian Qianyi, and only said that he would be allowed to think about it for a few days.

Ma Fengzhi didn't have time to think about it, because that night, several Taiping soldiers who had secretly come from Nanjing entered his barracks.

Luo Lun, on behalf of Zhou Shixiang and Zhang Huangyan, told Ma Fengzhi that if Ma was to be corrected immediately, he would immediately ask the supervisor to grant him the title of duke, and he did not need to deal with Guan Zhongzhong and Liang Huafeng, but only needed him to send troops to Zhejiang Province to attack eastern Zhejiang, so as to contain Zhao Guozuo, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Tong Guoqi, the governor of Zhejiang Province. Luo Lun finally told Ma Fengzhi very clearly that if he could recover the whole province of Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang Province would be raised by the Ma Ministry.

Ma Fengzhi didn't ask him what the Taiping Army would do with him if he didn't return to Ming anyway, because he knew that he had no choice. The conditions promised by Zhou Shi are very tempting, too tempting, the national government is false, and Zhejiang Province is real.

Ma Fengzhi thinks that he may not be the opponent of Guan Xiaozhong and Liang Huafeng, but he is not afraid of Zhao Guozuo and Tong Guoqi, in his opinion, the Qing army in Zhejiang Province is now a water dog, and he is too sorry for himself if he doesn't beat them. After Nanjing, the momentum of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty skyrocketed, that is, the Shunzhi army was in Jiangbei, and Ma Fengzhi also believed that the Qing court would no longer be able to touch half an inch south of the Yangtze River. At the end of the year, the Ming and Qing dynasties divided the river and ruled the situation.

Ma Fengzhi made a move, led his troops from Songjiang Jinshan to attack ZJ Jiaxing Mansion, all the way into a no-man's land, everywhere he went, the county officials surrendered, and it only took 11 days to hit the Qiantang River.

This summer, there has been a long drought and no rain in eastern Zhejiang, and several canals in Jiaxing have dried up and flowed finely. Ma Fengzhi saw that a farmer was bathing in the river, and the water was no deeper than the horse's belly, so he ordered the troops to be divided into two routes, one was composed of the main horse infantry, and the main force of the horse infantry was to wade through the water network from Tongxing to attack in a big way; The other route is composed of sailors, and it goes from the coast of Pinghu Zhapu.

The defense line of the Qiantang River deployed by Tong Guoqi, the governor of the Qing Zhijiang River, suddenly collapsed, and the Qing army of the Zhijiang River lost more than 3,000 people, and the rest fled one after another. On October 14, Tong Guoqi fled back to Hangzhou under the protection of the Han army. Zhao Guozuo, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, heard that Tong Guoqi was defeated, and in a panic, he mobilized Qing troops from Shaoxing, Ningbo and other places to defend Hangzhou with the Eight Banners of Hangzhou and Manzhou.

In Jiangnan, after Guan Xiaozhong led the army into Suzhou, he and Jiang Guozhu refused to go to Changzhou on the grounds that Ma Fengzhi was in turmoil. Esehei and Liang Huafeng knew that the news might leak, and Guan Xiaozhong and Jiang Guozhu had become wary of them. Without Guan allegiance, Guan Xiao's 8,000 soldiers, only more than 4,000 soldiers remained, and it was difficult to rest day and night in Changzhou, and now the only thing he and Esehei could do was to wait for the arrival of the emperor's army. Fortunately, the Taiping army did not send troops to attack Changzhou after occupying Zhenjiang, which made Guan Xiaozhong and Jiang Guozhu shrink in Suzhou, and the idea of using the Taiping army to get rid of Liang Huafeng was frustrated. Now, Liang Huafeng seems to be the door god of Suzhou, with him, Suzhou is not in danger, but Suzhou wants him to die.

The situation in Zhenjiang, Changzhou, and Suzhou is so rare that it is very strange. None of the three parties are enemies, but none of the three parties will do anything. You look at him, he looks at you, wide-eyed.

Shunzhi arrived in Yangzhou from Xuzhou at the end of September, and the Jiangbei camp was set up on the third day of October, but after the camp was established, Liang Huafeng of Changzhou could not wait for the news that the army crossed the river. Jiang Guozhu and Guan Allegiants in Suzhou prayed every day that the emperor's army would not cross the river, at least not before Liang Huafeng was finished.

In the Jingshi Bauhinia City, the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai was very dissatisfied with her son's order to copy Yue Le's house and change the name of the prince to Aqina.

...........

Shi Yuanling wrote the show, and the book reviews were very large; wrote about the Tang Dynasty and the prison of the country, and the book review was even more dissatisfied; Now that he has written about Yongli's return to China and Qian Qianyi's deeds, many book friends have broken out again.

What the bones want to say is that Yongli's return to China is a reasonable result of the situation and plot deduction, and the existence of this person is certainly a big nail, but it is not a problem at all for Xiucai who is determined to support the Tang King. Yongli should be more concerned about how Wu Sangui treats him. Yongli, the emperor, is a figure who can't get around writing this history. Some people don't want to see him (such as Xiucai), some people swear to defend him to the death (such as Li Dingguo, Wen Anzhi), some people worship Yang for him (such as Zheng Chenggong), and some people use him (such as Sun Kewang, now Wu Sangui), and the historical text is empty, not just seeking the coolness of Yiyi, the protagonist of Yimu is invincible, and he talks to himself, he imagines how to develop and dominate the world out of thin air, and when he attaches importance to the original history and the deduction, even if the result of the deduction will make people feel uncomfortable and unhappy in a certain period of time, he should write it out.

This is history, or rather, history in fiction.

As for Qian Qianyi, I just write it according to history, without any exaggeration, without exaggeration, nor belittling.

No one is perfect, and the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty is full of repetitions, such as Li Chengdong, Jin Shengheng, etc., whose hands are stained with the blood of the Han people, but they died under the Qing saber. In the Taiping army, it can be said that nine out of ten people have been stained with the blood of the Han people, that is, Xiucai himself, limited by conditions, also acquiesced in the Taiping army's massacre of the people of Chaozhou and connived at the poison of the people of Hunan Province.

The characters in the bones are probably only written in the way that is closest to the original appearance of the times, such as politics, human nature, and even more so in morality. We can't force the people of that era to reach the moral heights we know today, that would be unrealistic. If we write according to what we think of as values and morals, then everyone deserves to be killed.

History, what was supposed to happen, I want to write; Didn't happen, I'm also writing.

Finally, I recommend a book by an author's friend - "A Life of Wealth"

The rich are the richest in the world; Noble, noble.

With the footsteps of a traverser, look back at the distant Song Fenghua. (To be continued.) )
