Hanyang Prefect's Yamen, Chen Ming has not received Chen Qi's battle report, the rain outside has stopped, and the sun has come out, so did the troops on the south bank encircle and annihilate Shi Liang's army? Chen Ming has not yet received a battle report. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But the military reports from Hanchuan and Xiaogan arrived.

The two teams easily resisted the Qing army, don't look at the Qing army in Henan and the Sichuan army coming so quickly, it seems to be violent, in fact, they are all strong in the outside, and they don't even have a cannon in the army.

Ah Gui came too fast, and the logistical baggage was thrown in Guide and Kaifeng, and more than 20,000 people went south, but only more than 20,000 people, and even the food was raised on the spot.

What about the Sichuan soldiers? All the cannons in Ma Mingxun's hands were lost in Huangpi, but the thousands of Sichuan soldiers in Jingmen had a few cannons, and the Sichuan reinforcements from Sichuan also had a few cannons. The Sichuan soldiers of Jingmen initially pushed cannons to Anlu to join Ma Mingxun, but after Ma Mingxun received a strict order from Agui, he hurriedly raised troops and horses to kill Hanyang Mansion, and the cannons were all in Anlu. He still dares to transport by water? When the naval warship of the Han Army was furnished?

Therefore, there are a lot of Qing soldiers on these two roads, and the ability to attack the fortifications is weak.

The morale of the Sichuan soldiers was particularly low, and they only launched an attack on Hanchuan once, and after being bombarded by the Fu Han army artillery [twelve, two teams] and mortars there, they left hundreds of corpses, and they did not dare to attack at all.

The Qing troops who came down from Henan still had sufficient fighting spirit, but they had to face the First Brigade and an artillery battalion reinforced by Chen Ming, and both attacks were annihilated by the roar of artillery.

Chen Ming was not at all worried about the battle situation of the two route troops, just as he did not think that the battle under the city of Wuchang would be defeated by the Han army, but instead ordered that both route armies stick to the Qing army, especially the Hanchuan army. The Sichuan soldiers cannot be allowed to escape again.

Here in Wuchang, three or five days faster, seven or eight days slow, the battle can be resolved. The army killed along the waterway to Hanchuan, and all the people and horses could easily reach it, and Chen Ming was unwilling to let go of the Sichuan soldiers.

Before Ma Mingxun did not retreat to Hanyang, but fled west, it was very different for the Sichuan soldiers to escape. This time, he didn't want to be cheap anymore.

The battle under the city of Wuchang is Chiguoguo's cold weapon fighting, and the artillery battle is just the icing on the cake. Hand-to-hand combat is a war of attrition, and the morale of both sides is falling in an uproar, the difference is that the Qing army is falling fast, and the Fu Han army is falling slowly. Chen Ming was very confident in the combat effectiveness of his army, and he believed that his team could wear down and drag down the defenders of Wuchang, so that they could no longer inspire the slightest fighting spirit. In this way, when the Fu Han army is killed under the city wall, the Qing army and the people defending the city will no longer have the courage to fight in the streets.

At 10 a.m., he received a letter from his father from the camp. The content of this letter is so inconsistent with the current atmosphere in the headquarters, and Chen Ming is also much more relaxed.

In the letter, Chen Hui was already thinking about whether to call the prince or the king, compared to the duke, Chen Hui felt that it was better to call the king directly. With the grass kings at the end of the Ming Dynasty as 'martyrs', it is too small to be called a prince. Chen Hui thinks it's good to be called the king, King Han!

Then he talked about a series of rules and regulations for the title of king, as well as the official body of the Han army, and then there was the title of Chen Ming, Chen Hui wanted to give Chen Ming the title of duke, although it was not very direct and clearly established his status as the prince.

On this issue, a group of people in my hometown disagreed, mainly divided into two groups. One group of people said that they wanted to be called 'Lu Gong', which was the place of origin, and had great and direct commemorative significance; another group of people said 'Zheng Gong', because the word Lu no matter what happened before, now generally refers to Shandong, and Lu Mountain traces back to its roots, it is the territory of Zheng Guo in the Spring and Autumn Period of that year, and it should be called Zheng Gong;

As a result, a group of people who supported 'Lu Gong' sprayed 'Zheng Gong''s supporters without culture, and during the Xia and Shang periods, Lushan County was originally called Lu, and later changed its name to Luyang, becoming the name of Lu Gong. The two gangs had a lot of trouble.

Chen Hui's letter is to tell Chen Ming about the situation, and wants Chen Ming to make up his own mind, and then about the official body, which is to have a clear context and cover all aspects of people's livelihood, military and politics.

Chen Ming couldn't laugh or cry when he read this letter, his father really believed in himself 100%, and he said that he would take Hubei, communicate with southwest Henan, and solve the difficulties of the old base area, so that he could rest assured that he would boldly claim the title of king. Chen Hui really thought about this problem, even if the battle of Wuchang has not yet reached a result, the battle is going on to a critical juncture!

Chen Hui and Chen Ming were very polite, and the letter also proposed to ask for silver, food, salt, personal problems, good fabrics, and good embroidery. Chen Ming's army swept through the southeast, and there was no shortage of silver if there was anything missing. Nanjing, Suzhou and Hangzhou are the three major weaving houses in the south of the Yangtze River in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with the best and most valuable fabrics and embroiderers in China.

If Chen Hui wants to be called the king, he must have auspicious clothes, and the old grandmother Huang, the old lady Gao, as well as Chen Ming himself and Li Xiaomei, and even Xiao Chen Ding's, must have a series of auspicious clothes. Chen Hui doesn't look down on the embroiderers in Lushan now, and he also knows that when Chen Ming swept the south of the Yangtze River, he brought a lot of good embroiderers from the south, so he naturally had to use the best for such a big event.

As for the silver or something, it was Chen Ming who wanted to hand over to the general's mansion. In addition to entering the Ministry of Finance, there is also a part to enter the Chen family's internal funds. At the beginning, Chen Ming swept southern Henan, crisscrossed northern Hubei, and also gave Chen Hui a lot of money. But for more than a year, the money has been spent like a tumultuous stream, millions of taels of silver is a lot, but in the face of tens of thousands of troops, the ever-expanding official system, and the coal and iron industry system with a larger number of people, what can it be used for?

"Governor Dadu, we started in Lushan, who knows if Zheng Guo is not Zheng Guo. I thought that the governor of Dadu should be called Duke Lu. ”

"Lushan is the place where our army is prosperous, and it should be called Lu."

Liu Wu and other people around him have made speeches, most of these people think that 'Lu Gong' is more suitable, and at the same time, congratulations to Chen Ming, after getting this title, his position as the prince is justified.

As for the official body, these people don't talk much, not to mention that there are all kinds of laws and regulations to standardize, which is a big project.

"It seems that no one in our Fu Han Army can lead the outline, like Xiao He and Li Shanchang to serve the public, and the rules and regulations of a country are naturally hastily determined. There will be a lot of people involved. "It has been a year or two since the rise of the entire Fu Han Army, and the feeling of cultural governance is still lacking, and this time Chen Ming has been mixed in with the rules and regulations, and his current proposition can be described as 'people-oriented' thinking, but this is just his own words, and readers do not agree. Some of the voices were only louder after he won the decisive battle in northern Jiangsu. So after this set of rules and regulations is freshly baked, I am afraid that it will be sprayed by the gentry all over the world.

Everyone congratulated Chen Ming, and after retreating, only Liu Wu was left by Chen Ming's side. Liu Wu brought Chen Ming a cup of tea and said, "Why should the metropolitan governor worry about this matter. I heard that the left and right military divisions and other elders, now everyone has a lot of staff members, if they want to participate, it is not just the right place for them to be useful. "It doesn't matter how those staff members came to be or what level they are, they can be used anyway. As long as these old voices can be heard, whether they work or not is another matter.

"Well, that's a good point. People have what they want, so they can use it. "These eight words aroused Chen Ming's emotion, the Fu Han army fought back to Huguang, and they were ready to stop letting go of Huguang, Huangzhou was already pulling a shelf, and the qualifications of some of these officials were really ......, and they couldn't take it." In fact, there are many talented people in this folk, but they have not been put in a good position before. Just like the Xiao Lou in Jiujiang, it's very good to do it in Hukou now. Able to settle the Hukou area, recruit thousands of people to the front line to transfer materials, dig trenches, build positions, and there are no unstable people in the county and township, such officials are capable officials.

Before he was the master of Cao Chuande, the overseer of the Gutang sub-customs, he was just an ordinary person who knew how to write and understand arithmetic, and now he is like a fish in water in the position of the magistrate. "Xiao Lou was in Gutang at the beginning, and he dealt with the old oilmen who were still related to businessmen every day, colluding with officials and privates, and he had seen too many things in the yin and private affairs, and he was not bad at those veterans who were calculating to go into battle. After the Fu Han army took Jiujiang, Xiao Lou hid in the countryside and did not show his head, but after the decisive battle in northern Jiangsu, he jumped out and took refuge in the Jiujiang Fu Han army. Soon he was promoted to the magistrate of the county, and he did a really good job in Hukou County! There are too few people who have risen to prominence so quickly.

"There is also Chen Jie in Xinghua, Fujian [now Putian City, Fujian Province], who is only double ten, starting from Xiangzi, one hundred and ten villagers, but in a few months, he has defeated the Tiandihui Righteous Army, and now he has been made a Putian County Commander by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The number of rural warriors under his command has increased to two or three thousand, isn't this more useful than those commanders, generals, and general soldiers in Fujian? "It's a very useful soldier's talent," but what about Chen Jie before the Heaven and Earth Society uprising? It's just a poor talent in the countryside. ”

To be honest, Chen Ming was impressed by Chen Jie's own family, and once sent a secret camp to contact him, but the people sent were expelled from him with their noses and ears cut off, and Chen Ming gave up. But it cannot be denied that Chen Jie is indeed good. I heard that he has changed his word now, and it is called Thief Exterminator, which is a proper mortal enemy. I wonder if this person can become Chen Youding's second!

Speaking of this Chen Jielai, Chen Ming remembered that there was another person named Tang Feipeng under him, who was a fellow countryman and a native of Putian with Chen Jie. It's just that this Tang Feipeng's bones are much softer, and when he sees the wind, he has a good boat. Before the Tiandihui rebels arrived in Putian, they had contact with the secret camp of the Fuhan Army and kept their family rich. Now he is sent to Japan by Chen Ming, because the Tang family is a maritime merchant in Fujian, of course, he is not a maritime merchant, but he also has several connections in Japan. Chen Ming had bad intentions towards Japan, so he made the best use of his talents, and directly intervened and sent Tang Feipeng to Japan, where he lurked first. Leaving his parents and relatives in hand, let him flee to Japan with two beautiful concubines and tens of thousands of taels of silver. That's why he remembered Tang Feipeng's name.

“… If the husband is pure and pure, the quality of lightness and brightness, the elegance of the certificate, and the square and round. Among the ministers, there is nothing like it. Those who see it are blown with guns, and corruption is empty. The snow does not freak and flutters in the middle. Filth is avoided, horses and cattle are avoided. The snow is high and the snow is accumulated. If the water of the salt pond rises, the top of the copper mountain, it is born by touching the kind, and it cannot be spoken. The ministers hated it and went down unscrupulously, and then they were white and white......"

Chen Ming suddenly memorized the book, Liu Wu's brows twisted, and he remembered: "What did the Metropolitan Governor say about "Hou Xue Fu"? Liu Wu vaguely felt familiar.

"It's Tang Luoyin's "Hou Xuefu". When Chen Ming saw this article, it happened to be snowing in Nanjing, so he wrote it down.

The snowflakes fell gently from the sky. The same snowflakes, because of the different landing locations, have completely different fates. ”

"Some fall on the top of the mountain and become the crystal that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Some of them fall into lakes and streams and melt into clean water. Some of them are mixed with the dust and mud and let others trample on them. Others, falling into the stinking gutter or toilet, have become filthy regardless of their original nature. ”

"Xiao Lou and Chen Jie are like this. and so it is with me, the governor of thy house. Even you kid, that's true. ”

"If we are noble, if we have a little talent, we can stand out and be in a high position. There is wealth and glory, who still loves poverty and lowliness? ”

Luo Yin's "Hou Xue Fu" is about people and life. Snow is just a metaphorical vehicle. And this snowflake is really similar to people who are born and come to the world. But Chen Ming felt that this snowflake was a folk talent, it fell into the mud and sewage, its status was low, and it had no future, and it was trampled on by others, and over time it was really with the silt. So if you change them to the top of the snow-capped mountain, give them time and opportunity, and cultivate them, can they just turn into ice crystals for thousands of years, and glow with the dazzling brilliance of thousands of years of ice?

It doesn't have to be a great talent like Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Zhou Bo, as long as there are two or three of them, or even eleven ......, or a few Li Yan, Song Xiance, and Niu Jinxing. I don't want them to be brilliant all of a sudden, bright and blind, Chen Ming can wait. (To be continued.) )
