Scouting began in England and has been practiced in China since the beginning of the Republic of China, with more than 200,000 people at its peak. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, it is still the last days of the Ming Dynasty, and even the British still regard English as the language used by the lower classes, and the Boy Scouts are naturally far from appearing. At least if anyone else listens, they will only think that this is a sign that the human resources of Jinhua, Quzhou, and Chuzhou have been exhausted, and Chen Wen has gone so far as to train boys to become soldiers, and the trend of his defeat can be seen.

In the first month, the Boy Scout affair was still in operation, at least until the official enrollment and teaching began in February, it was just a topic and option all over the Ming-occupied areas of southwest Zhejiang, and even for the time being, it did not play the slightest role in the current tense situation.

At this moment, the land of Longxing of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing Yingtianfu, have already changed their titles, and now this is Jiangning Mansion, expressing the wish of the Manchu high-level to look forward to the tranquility of Jiangnan.

A large mansion of the government in Jiangning Mansion, here is the Taibao and the prince and the prince who has just been made public, passing through the four provinces of Jiangnan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Fujian, the governor's military affairs and food and salary, and the temporary trip of the university scholar Hong Chengchou.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was already sixty years old, although he had to give up the plan to set up a banquet in order to keep it secret when he set off, but the BMW and the treasure knife were still rewarded, and specially ordered that after Hong Chengchou officially took over, "the officials and soldiers shall not be hindered, and the household department shall not be delayed", which can be described as very trusting.

In fact, Hong Chengchou naturally deserves this trust, his mother died of illness in May this year, but Hong Chengchou did not take long to set off for the south, but never returned to his hometown in Fujian to mourn, but sneaked all the way south, hiding in Nanjing in Ma Guozhu's mansion, hiding in the shadows for the southeast war situation carefully planned.

The ancients said that loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve since ancient times, and Mr. Hong's move is obviously to give up filial piety for loyalty, which is reasonable for the view of this era. It's just that he also relies on the very, but Chongzhen obviously didn't enjoy this treatment. is so favoritism, and his face of being greedy for life and afraid of death and not hesitating to recognize a thief as his father can be said to be unmistakable.

However, Hong Chengchou has long been unable to take care of these at present, and the southeast is a critical place, especially the two provinces of Jiangnan and Zhejiang, which can be said to be very important. Now that the three-board axe has been completed, Zheng Chenggong and Chen Wen, who once ran rampant in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, have also temporarily restrained their minions, and now they are naturally making the appointment of the southeast economic strategy public, so as to further boost the morale of the Qing army in the southeast.

At the gate of Xingyuan, a man in Confucian costume of thirty or forty stepped out of the gate under the guidance of two entourages, but the two men dressed as entourages seemed to look more like a prison for escorting prisoners than companions and entourage.

Out of the gate was a little bit, the Confucian dared to turn his head to look at the gate he had just walked out of, and then touched his forehead, and then looked at his hands were full of sweat, and even his body couldn't help but tremble for a while before continuing to walk towards the residence, but I don't know if the trembling was due to the cold wind in this first month.

In the lobby of the Jingluo Yuan, Hong Chengchou sat on the main seat, sipping tea carefully, only the old eyes that seemed to be dizzy still did not reveal a trace of overflowing edge.

"He's telling the truth, and this person doesn't need to worry about it for the time being."

The one Hong Chengchou said to his staff was Wang Jiang, the second civilian officer of Chen Wen's department, since he was captured by the Qing army, he has been under house arrest in Jiangning Mansion except for a few days in Hangzhou where Chen Jin used to recruit Chen Wen. Due to the growing strength of the Ming army in Zhejiang, the Manchu Qing Dynasty never relaxed its supervision of him, and the two entourages who had just left with him were the officers responsible for guarding him, but they just changed their clothes to give him, a former Ming high-ranking official who had surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, some minimum decency.

This time, Hong Chengchou summoned him to try to extract more details about the Zhejiang Ming Army and the coach whose life experience was always in the fog from Wang Jiang's mouth. It's just that Wang Jiang's understanding of Chen Wen is all about Chen Wen himself, except for getting along, he doesn't have the opportunity or ability to investigate, and even several of Chen Wen's subordinates are the same.

"First Wang Jiang, then Sun Yu, Chen Jin's plan to exterminate the Ming army of Dalanshan in the early stage was not the slightest mistake, but it was a pity that a Chen Wen suddenly came out, but this painstaking plan was completely overturned."

Hong Chengchou didn't say anything, and he didn't even think about anything, if Jin Li and Tian Xiong were able to kill Chen Wen in Siming Mountain, then the situation in the southeast would not have deteriorated to this point. Because he knew very well that this kind of thinking was just adding to his troubles, and that it would be better to have more thoughts on how to suppress it completely.

However, in today's southeast war situation, although the Ming armies of Fujian and Zhejiang cannot join forces, even if they exist, they can divide too many forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so that the Qing army does not dare to boldly concentrate too many troops for encirclement and suppression.

"It's a pity that Geng Jimao's son is not as good as his father."

Hong Chengchou did not say this, because the decision to transfer Geng Jimao was issued by Shunzhi, because he wanted to keep the more experienced Shang Kexi to continue to stay in Guangdong in case Li Dingguo suddenly went south. Originally, in the eyes of Shunzhi and Hong Chengchou, even if Geng Jimao was inexperienced, but with the vassal troops of the Jingnan Palace, it was enough to suppress Zheng Chenggong, and even if the strength of the water division was insufficient to threaten the Zhongzuo Institute, as long as Zheng Chenggong's land army could be completely defeated, or even just completely disabled, it would be enough for him to spit out the results he had swallowed in the past two years.

However, even such seemingly easy requirements, Geng Jimao was not able to achieve them.

Half a month ago, the Fujian Ming army gathered nearly twice the strength of the Qing army, and met the standard battalion of the Jingnan Wangfu, the Fujian governor and the general army on the left in Tong'an. Fortunately at first, the Ming and Qing armies gathered a large number of infantry to conduct field battles outside Tong'an City, trying to break the enemy. However, with the sudden change in the direction of the wind, the smoke of guns and artillery obscured part of the Ming army's battle formation. For the Qing army, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as the cavalry quickly broke through the Ming army's large array with infantry as the main body, a great victory would be counted.

However, Geng Jimao's combat experience was too little, even with the advice of Xu Degong, the general soldier of the left wing, his reaction was still half a beat slower, and when the Geng family's cavalry rushed up, the Ming army exchanged spearmen and rattan armor soldiers, and the musketeers also retreated to the back and were no longer used, and archers and crossbowmen provided long-range fire support.

Although the cavalry of the Geng family also broke through part of the battle formation on the flank of the Ming army for a time, the Ming army that reacted still expelled them and re-completed the formation. In the end, the two armies fought fiercely for an afternoon, and when it was dark, they had to withdraw their troops back to the camp. Over the next two days, the Ming army moved the people of Tong'an County back to Zhangzhou to replenish the loss of manpower there during the siege, while the Qing army took over the empty county seat of Tong'an.

As for then, there is nothing then......

This detailed report was naturally not sent by Geng Jimao, but the handwriting of Yang Minggao, the governor of Fujian, and the chief soldier and horse of Fujian's right road. As for Geng Jimao's Tong'an victory, the document of taking advantage of the victory to occupy the county town and stubbornly defending the victory is naturally running off the bus with his mouth, deceiving those civil officials who don't know the soldiers, it's okay, and trying to deceive him Hong Chengchou is simply dreaming.

"The fighter plane is fleeting, don't say it's Geng Zhongming, even Jin Li as the coach will not have that hesitation."

But no matter what, the losses of the Ming army in Fujian do not seem to be too small, Zheng Chenggong has to slow down for a few months to recover from his injuries before he can continue to make trouble, and with the Geng family's vassal soldiers in Fujian, naturally they will not be as powerless as last year.

After drinking this cup of tea, Hong Chengchou's staff sent someone to recruit another person, this time not the former Ming who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but a serious Qing army, at least for the last two years, he has been wearing the Qing army's horn to fight against the Ming army in Zhejiang.

"That's what Wang Dusi wants to tell the old man?"

"Returning to the scriptures, the villain's head asked the villain to bring you this is this."

Hong Chengchou's southward journey is a secret, but it is a pity that when Wang Sheng's envoy arrived at Jiangning Mansion, Hong Chengchou happened to make public the news of his appointment as the Southeast Economic Strategy, so the family who was originally sent to the Jiangnan Jiangxi Governor Ma Guozhu to run the relationship directly rushed to Hong Chengchou's line, after all, this Hong Jingluo is in charge of four provinces, although Governor Ma is not a small official, but he is only in charge of two provinces, and the rest of the four minus two is exactly Zhejiang and Fujian, where they are located.

"Someone, arrange a place for him to live."

After Wang Sheng's family left the lobby with Hong Chengchou's subordinates, Hong Chengchou immediately recruited one of his personal soldiers from the Jingluo Mansion.

"You, go to Jiangshan County in Quzhou, and take Wang Sheng, the commander of the battalion, to Nanchang. After arriving in Nanchang, you don't have to be polite, and you are directly imprisoned in the government prison. ”

"Obedience."

After the soldiers left, Hong Chengchou's staff turned to ask why this was the case, in his opinion, Wang Sheng's plan to vigorously reorganize the green battalion according to the establishment of the Zhejiang Ming army seemed to be very effective, at least in the standard battalion of the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian.

"His method is very good, but it doesn't apply to this dynasty, at least it is far from deteriorating to this point now!" (To be continued.) )
