Zheng Chenggong's thoughts were not only unknown to Chen Wen, but even Zhang Jun, who had temporarily stayed in the Zhongzuo Institute and waited for the envoy of the edict, was completely unaware. At this time, he was still immersed in the good news that the Jinhua Ming Army he was playing for defeated Chen Jin again, and while he was excited, he was secretly sad, as if he had a split personality.

Chen Wen broke the Qing army again, re-besieged Quzhou, and regained the strategic initiative that had slipped away due to Cao Conglong's rebellion. As a member of this group, Zhang Jun was naturally happy about this, especially when he thought of the civil and military faces of those Lu Jian Guo system on the Golden Gate across the water, this joy immediately escalated into excitement. But in such a big battle, as a martial artist, he didn't have the opportunity to attend, which is really a big regret in life.

However, his commander said that it was his duty for the warriors to obey orders, to greet the Xuanzhao envoy and escort him to Jinhua, which was his mission, and at the same time Zhang Jun also shouldered the task of observing Zheng Chenggong's strength, but there was no need to force it, a few months, see how much is much, and do not cause Zheng Jun's taboo.

Observing the strength of the allies, this is quite normal. However, in contrast, although Zheng Chenggong asked Chen Wenwen about some things himself, such as his background and marriage, he never asked about matters such as the establishment, training, formation, and official position of the Jinhua Ming Army, and even the officials in Zheng Chenggong's curtain did not do so.

This is due to Zheng Chenggong's great confidence in his army and his own abilities, but Zhang Jun extends it more to the level of feudal morality of martial artists.

As for Zheng Chenggong's army, Zhang Jun secretly described it as "there must be many pirate ships" and "rattan armor soldiers were abused by Zhuge Wuhou in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Among them, it is not only the sour mouth that can't eat grapes, but also the superstition of its own group strength.

In fact, Zhang Jun's cranky thoughts are only a fragment of the overall situation in which the situation of the Ming army in the southeast is beginning to gradually improve. When the exact news of this great victory began to spread like the wind throughout the Manchu officialdom and local gentry in the southeast, the whole atmosphere since the Battle of Zhoushan began to reverse to a certain extent.

The Battle of Zhoushan in the fifth year of Yongli was the year in which Zhejiang's anti-Qing movement was largely overthrown, and since then, there has been no possibility of a reversal of the overall situation in Zhejiang, not even a large army enough to threaten the Manchu rule in Zhejiang. And all this has started since the Ming army of Siming Mountain was surrounded and suppressed by the Qing army in the fourth year of Yongli.

The encirclement and suppression of Siming Mountain in the fourth year of Yongli and the battle of Zhoushan in the fifth year of Yongli were not able to change the overall trend in the overall situation, and although Chen Wen, who was weak and weak, tried his best, he only deviated slightly from the track. However, after this battle, the victory of one enemy and two proved that the Qing army in Zhejiang, and even the reinforcements from northern Fujian and Jiangxi were no longer the opponents of the only remaining Ming army in Zhejiang, and the battle situation in Zhejiang was no longer as expected by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The overall situation began to reverse, which made Manchu officials in the southeast, especially in Zhejiang, panic. Because it was the Qing army in this province that suffered the heaviest losses, and officials in Fujian and Jiangxi were trying to shift the blame for Zheng Chenggong's capture of Zhangzhou and Zhang Zisheng's successful breakthrough onto them. And the Eight Banners of Hangzhou Garrison are still in front of the fortress that has blocked it in Zhuji for the second time, without the slightest progress......

For this reason, Xiao Qiyuan, the governor of Zhejiang, has not slept well for several days since he got the news. As soon as I closed my eyes, my mind was full of the scene of the Ming army marching north after capturing Quzhou, taking advantage of the victory to defeat the Eight Banners of Hangzhou's garrison under the city for a long time, and recapturing Hangzhou in one fell swoop. Every time he thought of this, he could feel an inexplicable dull pain in his head.

For this reason, Xiao Qiyuan specially invited a famous doctor in Suzhou named Wu Youxing to come to diagnose and treat him, and this doctor did respond to the statement of the famous Wuxuan Shi, saying that this heart disease still needs heart medicine, but before the heart disease is treated, the medicine still cannot be stopped.

Compared with the officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the gentry who privately engaged in the anti-Qing movement, gave advice to the anti-Qing rebel army, collected and transmitted intelligence, and even did not hesitate to sell their property to fund the rebel army, they were very happy to see this.

In the Xixian Hall in the Yang of Beixian Mountain in the southeast of Huzhou Prefecture, Wei Gengzheng, who had entrusted Yu Shizhong to transmit information to Chen Wen, was drinking and chatting with several friends of the Poetry Society with him on this non-New Year's Day.

Gui'an Qian Zhangzeng, Shanyin Qili Sun, Qiban Sun, Zhu Shizhi, Zhang Zongguan and Chen Sandao of Suzhou, these scholars have been friends with him for many years, and they corresponded with each other in the name of poetry and singing, and secretly conspired to resist the Qing Dynasty. At this moment, they were drinking happily for Chen Wen's great victory half a month ago.

Although Chen Wen had never communicated with them, Wei Geng had collected information for them before, and even if the two sides had never crossed paths in any way, this great victory was worth their cheers.

Since the Qing army went south, Yangzhou ten days, Jiading three massacres, Nanjing, Hangzhou have fallen, Hongguang Emperor and the prison of the country Lu Wang second north hunting. Under the oppression of the ethnic discrimination policy of "keeping your head without hair, leaving your hair without leaving your head" and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's attempt to exterminate the Chinese clothing and civilization, King Lu was in charge of Shaoxing with the support of a large number of Zhejiang gentry, including many gentry from Southern Zhili, such as Songjiang Chen Zilong was appointed as the direct Zhejiang economic strategy, and entered the Taihu Lake Changxingbo Wu Yi Army Central Supervision Army.

However, although the Ming army of the Lu Jianguo system once fought fiercely with the Qing army on the Qiantang River, it was never able to help the Qing army in Hangzhou. Behind the Qing army, Wei Geng also invited hundreds of students from various counties in Huzhou to lead the scattered soldiers to recover many counties in Huzhou for a time, but under the counterattack of the Qing army, this anti-Qing uprising called "Battle of Tiaoshang" was also quickly suppressed.

In the first year of the Jianguo Lu, the Jiang division was defeated, the Qing army crossed the Qiantang River and went south, the provinces in eastern Zhejiang fell one after another, the Lu Jianguo was forced to flee to the sea, the Jingguo Guofang Guoan surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Ningguo Gongwang Zhiren was martyred, Zhang Guowei and Zhu Dadian, the two superintendents and scholars, one self-cut and one martyred, and the Jinhua massacre, more than 50,000 people were slaughtered by the Qing army in just three days.

With the fall of the Longwu regime, King Lu was invited to Fujian, and the Qing army in Zhejiang was forced to go south to rescue Fujian, which had been almost completely recovered by several Ming armies such as the Lu Jianguo group.

The attenuation of the strength of the Qing army in Zhejiang made great progress during this period, leaving aside Huang Binqing in Zhoushan, Wang Yi, Wang Jiang, Li Changxiang, Zhang Huangyan, Feng Jingdi in Siming Mountain, Yu Guowang and Jintang in Tiantai Mountain, Yao Zhizhuo in Tianmu Mountain, Yin Can and Zhou Qingui in Jinhua, hundreds of righteous armies sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and even to the point that "the lonely village and the fortress also built the banner of righteousness".

Some of these rebels may not have accepted the appointment of the Ming Dynasty, but the determination to fight the Manchus to the end was something that most of them could maintain.

However, when the Lu Jianguo group broke with Zheng Cai in Fujian, a large area of lost territory once recovered in Fujian was quickly captured by the Qing army. Although the Lu Jianguo group, which was forced to return to Zhejiang, successfully merged with Huang Binqing, it was finally destroyed in the Battle of Zhoushan in the fifth year of Yongli after repeated infighting. What ignited the fuse of the failure of the Battle of Zhoushan was the Qing army's encirclement and suppression of Siming Mountain the year before.

Wei Geng and others did not know that after the end of the Battle of Zhoushan in the fifth year of Yongli, the anti-Qing movement in Zhejiang was completely suppressed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it did not recover any vitality. Zhejiang, on the other hand, also became a solid occupation area of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even the later Ma Xin and Zhoushan were controlled by the Ming army again could not change this reality.

But now, with Chen Wen's efforts, the fire left by a rebel army that had long been extinguished has gradually formed a prairie fire, which has made the overall situation of Zhejiang's resistance to the Qing Dynasty a great reversal, and even the Ming army in the neighboring provinces of Fujian and Jiangxi has also benefited. When they heard the news that Chen Wen had defeated Chen Jin again, defeated the Qing army, including many elite green battalions, and besieged the capital city of Quzhou again, they were so excited that they rushed to tell each other, which also accelerated the spread of the good news among the people.

Now, the strategic initiative in southwest Zhejiang, and even the strategic initiative of the whole of Zhejiang, has changed hands, if you count Zheng Chenggong, who beat the local Qing army in Fujian to the point that he could not raise his head, the situation in these two provinces has been reversed, and even the Ming army is just around the corner to recover these two provinces. And all of this is thanks to Chen Wen, who they once gave support!

"Congratulations to the sea! Congratulations to Daming! ”

At the same time, when Wei Geng and others raised their glasses to Quzhou in the south, in a big mansion in Yin County, Ningbo Prefecture, Lu Yuding, a scholar from Yin County, was worshipping his old friend with a group of friends who were secretly carrying out the anti-Qing movement.

Since Lu Yuding designed to steal Wang Yi's head last year, he has been hiding in the study at home, and even his children have not known about it except for his younger brother. Although Chen Wen, the general of Wang Yi when he was alive, only defeated some of the southern green battalions assembled in southwest Zhejiang, its significance was extraordinary, especially Chen Jin, who proudly slaughtered hundreds of people in Zhoushan last year, was besieged again, which can be said to have greatly encouraged the people of Zhejiang's resistance to the Qing Dynasty, and even some people who had already been disheartened had the idea of waiting to see the situation in order to do it again.

Lu Yuding has always been committed to funding the anti-Qing rebels, and in history, his family was a first-class and wealthy family, and he even sold out his ancestral business for this reason, and even built up debts, but the four walls of his family have always been the same.

"Zhou Ming, Wanxun can really be described as a discerning talent, that Linhai Bo has won many battles, maybe in a year or two, we can regain the clothes of the Han family."

Hearing this, Lu Yuding nodded heavily. Because of Wang Yi's relationship, he has always had a good impression of Chen Wen, even if the news of Cao Conglong's rebellion reached Ningbo, he did not slander Chen Wen from the perspective of Wenchen like others, because he firmly believed that Wang Yi's vision would never be wrong.

"If it weren't for Cao Conglong's house, maybe Linhaibo would have recovered Ningbo at this moment, and he could also be buried for Wanxun, Jizhong and You'an, so that the loyal ministers and martyrs could be buried in peace."

"Those thieves who only know how to fight for power and profit are really hateful!"

As the victory spread in various versions, the anti-Qing people in the four provinces south of the Yangtze River, especially in Zhejiang, were all overjoyed, and day and night expected Chen Wen to quickly recover Quzhou, and then turn north to recover the whole of Zhejiang. However, compared to their four-way transmission, the eight-hundred-mile urgent document has already been delivered to Beijing.

When the concert was sent to the front of the emperor, Shunzhi was stunned at first, and then he was furious, not only threw the concert on the ground, but also swept everything on the table.

In the strange atmosphere of the eunuchs who accompanied them tremblingly bowed their heads and tried to merge with the main hall, Shunzhi scolded Chen Jin and Jin Li for being incompetent, one could not do half of his own opponent, and the other was unable to move an inch with more than 10,000 people by a small fortress with only a few hundred people.

For this reason, he was very strange and said that he really couldn't understand why Dolgon was so stupid as to put such a group of idiot minions in such a key province as Zhejiang, completely ignoring his praise and praise for Chen Jin, Jin Li and others after the Battle of Zhoushan last year. After the anger, Shunzhi summoned some powerful people and cronies to discuss countermeasures.

After a few days of deliberation, Shunzhi also has a clearer understanding of the current situation. The southeastern Ming army seemed to regain the strategic initiative, but due to the limited number of troops, it was still difficult for them to achieve the desired results in the expansion of the results; Unlike the Ming army in the southeast, the Ming army in the southwestern provinces had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and even if they only counted the soldiers, they were incomparable to the two "little guys" in the southeast who only occupied one or two prefectures.

Moreover, Li Dingguo had just killed Kong Youde and seized the entire territory of Guangxi in one go, Feng Shuangli from Huguang was also pressing Shen Yongzhong to fight, and Liu Wenxiu from Sichuan was also moving north. For the limited core force of the Manchus, it was natural that the priority was to attack the more threatening targets. Nikan's army is carrying out this strategy, and there is no reason to change course easily.

However, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the southeast are rich and wealthy, not only for grain, but also for the rich Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the occupation area.

The Jinhua captured by Chen Wen was dilapidated, and the tax revenue was really not high, but Quzhou was completely different. And more importantly, once Chen Wen takes Quzhou, whether he goes west to Jiangxi or north to Hangzhou, even if it is just to collect the provinces in eastern Zhejiang, it is beyond the capacity of the Manchus, so they must find a way to curb this momentum as soon as possible.

"The minions think that the first priority should be to prevent Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong and Chen Wen, the thieves, from converging with each other."

Seeing Hong Chengchou answer like this, Shunzhi thought about it carefully and nodded. The overall situation in the southeast and southwest battlefields last year was still favorable to the Manchus, but the spirit at that time has been completely reversed.

After receiving the news of the Qing army's defeat in Quzhou, Shunzhi wrote a series of words on the screen: "Yungui Sun Kewang", "Guangxi Li Dingguo", "Sichuan Liu Wenxiu", "Fujian Zheng Chenggong" and "Zhejiang Chen Wen".

The first three are all from the remnants of the Western Thieves, among which Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu can also be regarded as Sun Kewang's deployment; Zheng Chenggong in the southeast and Chen Wen in Zhejiang were originally dominated by the Tang and Lu domains, respectively. Theoretically, what Hong Chengchou said is impossible to be true, because there are irreconcilable contradictions between those three people in the matter of supporting each other.

However, with the change of Zheng Chenggong to the Gui domain as orthodoxy and the occurrence of the Lu Jian State to go to the Jian Guo, these powerful Ming troops have all gathered under the banner of the Yongli Emperor. Once any two of these three Ming armies, which have made a big splash this year, join forces, then at least one province will be completely lost, and the beginning of a complete collapse of the overall situation in the southeast.

"Then there's Mr. Laohong."

"Slaves should do their best to live up to the grace of God." (To be continued.) )
