It was not a people's daughter, but a concubine, which made the edict envoy feel a little unnatural, but after thinking about it, he felt funny - the woman in front of him was able to meet the prince because of her meritorious service. From this point of view, Cao Conglong not only did not succeed in making trouble for Chen Wen, but also became an old boy, and the red line of Chen Wen and Zhou Yueying was really impermanent. And what he is doing at this moment is to render some more gorgeous colors for this marriage.

"The gift of the edict has been completed, madam, please get up."

A commoner woman, even if her father and brother are both meritorious scholars, this time the edict is carried out in accordance with the etiquette of civil officials, but it is only a six-grade Anren, and it is still for Chen Wen's face. However, the identity of the Duchess of Xiuguo, the wife of a noble lady who is now rising in the middle of the day, the envoy of the edict naturally will not call Zhou Yueying the newly canonized An Ren, which is to make Chen Wen and his new lady unhappy, which is completely unnecessary.

"When I go back, I guess I'll have to come back soon, and then it's estimated that it will be the armor sunflower head, smeared with a gold shaft, and written with a willow leaf seal."

While reverie was in his mind, the edict envoy also hurriedly retreated, not even daring to look at Zhou Yueying more, for fear of causing Chen Wen's displeasure.

These days, he has followed Chen Wen all the way, and he has seen a lot of Zhejiang Ming troops on the way, and that momentum, not to mention anything else, is quite rare even in the southwest Ming army. Today's Guogong, maybe the next time I see it, it will be the king of the county, and now that the martial arts are powerful, the Ming Dynasty will be able to prosper, and the civil officials will have to see the face of the nobles for a long time. The edict is a good thing, but if a little rudeness causes Chen Wen's dissatisfaction, it will be detrimental to his future career.

The edict envoy is cautious in his words and deeds, Chen Wen is not too much of the posture of the national prince, the benefits should be given naturally will not be avoided, tonight is another banquet, including Yi and several other husbands who are fortunate enough to be canonized as the wife of the edict will attend the meeting, and Chen Wen not only has to represent his wife, but also on behalf of Wang Yi's daughter to express his gratitude to the court and the edict messenger.

………………

Zhejiang's canonization drama is still in full swing, but the Yangtze River estuary in the south of the Yangtze River has long been a different situation.

A few months ago, Qian Yingkui, the leader of the Su Song Anti-Qing Righteous Army, raised an army against the Qing Dynasty by claiming the name of General Pingnan, and for a time, Suzhou and Songjiang Mansions were full of flames, and these rebels took advantage of the intricate waterways and lakes in the two places to bloom everywhere, wantonly attacked the Qing army and government along the coast, looted and burned the warehouses, and greatly corrupted the ruling order of the Manchu Qing here.

At this time, the garrison Qing troops in Suzhou and Songjiang were headed by Zhang Tianlu, the governor of Susong, and Liang Huafeng, the general of Susong, supplemented by the garrisons of various counties and Xun, which were originally enough to suppress the counties and defend this land of wealth for the Manchu Qing. However, these anti-Qing rebels are all local snakes, especially knowing that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and they do not have a hard fight with the Qing army at all, which makes Zhang Tianlu and Liang Huafeng, who are mobile troops, tired and tired of taking care of themselves.

If Qian Yingkui, who crisscrossed the two prefectures of Suzhou and Song, was only regarded as a righteous army, then in August, a fleet crossed the coast of Zhejiang from Fujian to Chongming Island in the north of Songjiang Prefecture, but the banner was the banner of Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, and Zhang Huangyan, the servant of the Civil Officers and Soldiers Department of the Supervision Army, a Ming army with a serious history.

Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan commanded an army of 20,000 and five or six hundred ships, and after the army arrived near Chongming, they besieged Chongming City and used Chongming and the nearby sandbar as a base. "Building polders and farming, ten miles away from the city, are full of thieves. The people looked at each other, and it was difficult to support hunger. For my users, I am waiting to be killed, and the thieves are thriving" and "the hometown of Chongming rice is in the east and west of Pingyang Mountain, and now it is occupied by thieves" so that the Qing army in Chongming City is short of food, and the people near the left are happy to defect to the Ming army.

Historically, there was no such chaos in the Susong area at this time, Qian Yingkui had not yet raised troops against the Qing Dynasty, and only the barefoot Zhang San of the Taihu Baitou Army had the strength to contain the Qing army. However, even so, Zhang Tianlu, the governor of Susong at that time, and Wang Jing, the general soldier of Susong, were still unable to relieve the siege of Chongming, and were vigorously reprimanded by the Qing court, so that they were demoted and demoted. Now Wang Jing has been reappointed as the chief soldier of the Qiantang Water Division, in order to protect the Qiantang River and resist the Ming army in Zhejiang, but Liang Huafeng, who forced Zhang Mingzhen to take over here, is facing a more sinister situation.

Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, this ordinary county town, in this era, no one could have imagined that it would develop into an important international metropolis in the world in the future, so that the original capital city has become a district of the Far East.

Compared with those they don't know, the Ming army outside the city and the Ming ships in the Huangpu River are common to everyone at this moment, even the blind can know the situation outside the city from the ears of others.

"County Zun, there is General Qian Yingkui of Pingnan on the side of Fucheng, outside our city is Zhang Mingzhen, Marquis of Dingxi, and there is also the army of Marquis Anyuan to the south of Jinshanwei, which is a hard stubble that even the Eight Banners of the Han Army can't beat. Taizhou General Soldier Ma Xin and Wenzhou General Soldier Hu Laijin have already surrendered, and now the Ming army is strong, Zhang Tianlu and Wang Jing have fallen there, we can't defeat the Ming army alone, let's surrender. ”

"That's it, Da Ming is about to turn over, we can still be considered anyway in the past now, but we can't miss the opportunity."

“……”

Due to the change in the situation, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan marched into Shanghai County a month later than in history, and did not enter the interior from the Huangpu River until October, replenishing the army with local warehouses and people, and besieging the county seat of Shanghai by the way.

Originally, at the beginning of the siege of Shanghai, there was "the people of Haiyi listened to their foolishness, and the officials of Shanghai hijacked the county order and wanted to open the door and steal." Xu servants and others openly enclosed the net. At this moment, the war situation in the southeast is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Qing army under Chen Wen's efforts, and this situation has become even worse.

Yan Shaoqing, the magistrate of Shanghai County, a native of Lushan, Henan, is the magistrate of the county who just took office this year. Songjiang Mansion is one of the richest prefectures in the country, and to be able to serve as the magistrate here, Yan Shaoqing has spent a lot of money and trust. Unexpectedly, this arrival rule had just been put into his pocket, and as a result, the Ming army besieged the city, and what was even more infuriating was that the local officials and officials also persuaded him to open the city and surrender to the Ming army, which made him suddenly have the idea of spending unjust money.

"Outside the city, there are just some defeated generals of the Zhejiang official army, waiting for Admiral Zhang and General Liang to free up their hands, not even them, as long as the reinforcements from Nanjing arrive, these Ming troops can only withdraw, and then the bitter ones are not the local fathers?"

The urgent document was sent, and he was persuaded bitterly, Yan Shaoqing felt that he had never experienced such a difficult situation in his life, and at this moment he was already 100% over-performing. However, these officials and officials completely ignored the difficulties of his parents, and must open the city and surrender, and even the usually obedient soap squad leader even pulled out his knife, and kept saying that he would cut his braid first.

"The tail of money is the elegant government of the new dynasty; Eguan Bo belt, the bad rules of the country. This braid cannot be cut. ”

In today's Shanghai county, the Ming army outside the city did not attack, but the city was so troubled that because it was surrendered and defended, it was only a battle to meet each other. Radical as these people in the hall must open the city and surrender, even the people in the city also have many hearts for the Ming army, and it is said that there are some influential gentry in the head and tail; And the more conservative ones are not swearing not to surrender, but they still want to observe and observe the strength of the Ming army outside the city in order to be safe.

"County Zun, what you said is all deceived by the Tartars. Mr. Lu from Zhejiang made it clear in his article that the Tartars want us to be slaves for generations to them, so that they can play the banner of avenging the first emperor, worship the saint Confucius, and take the imperial examination. Besides, which is more important than the defense of Yixia and the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, you are a scholar, you can't be deceived. ”

Hong Chengchou's blockade and relocation of the second order made the transmission of information between the Ming army occupied by the Ming army in Zhejiang and the outside world seriously lag, but with the recovery of Taizhou and Wenzhou, there is a way by sea, although this situation has not yet reached a qualitative change, but it has still been alleviated to a certain extent.

Lu Liuliang's article is nominally to analyze and interpret the imperial examination papers, but in fact it is to expose the hypocritical mask of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and preach the defense of Yixia.

The whip was not guaranteed, Yan Shaoqing had to beg to look at the few people on the side, they were the representatives of the conservative faction in the city, and now he had to hope that these people could persuade one or two to keep the whip first. But before he could say anything, a Qing army rushed in.

"Reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived?!"

As soon as Yan Shaoqing said this, the faces of everyone present turned pale, but unexpectedly, the Qing army rushed in, but shouted loudly: "Don't bother, Zhang Shilang outside said that Marquis An Yuan has led the army north to recover Ningshao, and soon the army will come to Jinshanwei by boat, and we will not be able to do it anyway later." ”

Before the words fell, I saw that the head of the soap class grabbed Yan Shaoqing's braids, and the knife fell in his hand, leaving only the sparse emanation of the back of his head.

"Keep your head without hair, keep your hair without your head, how can I live without braids!"

Ignoring the tearful magistrate, several officials set it up and ran to the city gate, even those conservatives followed closely behind, and there was no longer the slightest hesitation.

………………

"Hey, it's really a victory."

With the opening of the city gate in Shanghai, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan led the army into the city, and after some exchanges with the local gentry and officials, the two sat opposite the county government, and Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but sigh.

"Soldiers are not tired of deceit, and there is nothing that cannot be defeated. Cangshui, you're just too square. ”

Chen Wen is still accumulating more powerful forces wholeheartedly, and the troops at hand are only enough to garrison various places to deal with Hong Chengchou's attack, how can there be any big army to go north to recover Ningshao, and then float to the sea to attack Jinshanwei. However, Chen Wen has now become the commander of the Ming army who is afraid of three points in the Qing army, and Zhang Mingzhen did not plan to attack the city this time, so he asked Zhang Huangyan to use Chen Wen's name to test one or two, but the defenders actually surrendered directly to the city, which was really unexpected.

"After all, he borrowed Chen Wen's momentum, but unfortunately, if he can really go north with an army, this time it may not be impossible to recover Nanjing."

In terms of military strength, Chen Wen is already second to none in the southeast, and these Ming troops of the Lu Jian State system are just living under the banner of the Ming Army in Fujian, and the 20,000 troops brought this time, the war auxiliaries are mostly Zheng Chenggong's subordinates, and the grain is even more dependent on Fujian to receive money, and the autonomy is very small. If Chen Wen can personally lead the Northern Expedition of the army, with the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in Zhejiang today, it may be very possible for the ancestors to recover Nanjing in one step, which is naturally stronger than responding here according to Zheng Chenggong's orders.

Zhang Huangyan only sighed slightly, but after hearing Chen Wen's name, Zhang Mingzhen's face was full of anger, and he burst out immediately. "In terms of the use of soldiers, I am afraid that no one in the southeast can compare with him. It's just that this son is definitely not a good kind, Cao Conglong was not his opponent at the beginning, Wang Yi and Wang Jiang were also deceived by him, it is best to have less intersection with him. ”

Zhang Huangyan knew very well that the Marquis of Dingxi in front of him was a diehard loyalist of His Royal Highness King Lu of the Prison State, and he had been squeezed out a lot by Zheng Chenggong in the past two years, but he always held the military power of his cronies' army in his hands, in order to be able to raise King Lu again one day. It's just that there have been too many uncomfortable days, and resentment has begun to spread to others, especially when Lu Jianguo went to Jianguo because of Cao Conglong's rebellion was quelled, and Chen Wen's questioning was sent to Kinmen, which made him even more hostile to Chen Wen.

Regarding the matter between Chen Wen and Cao Conglong, Zhang Huangyan did not participate in the conspiracy at first, especially if the matter did not work out, he would take the leadership of his army, which was impossible for him to agree with. In the end, Cao Conglong also set off a rebellion, but it was quickly suppressed, but the Ming army missed the opportunity to recover Quzhou faster, so that the southeast war situation has been ruined to this day. After a year of friendship, Zhang Huangyan believed that Cao Conglong was a loyal minister, but what the loyal minister did ruined the state affairs, and even he felt hesitant about it.

"Forget it, let's do our business first and then talk about the rest." After pondering for a moment, Zhang Huangyan asked Zhang Mingzhen: "In the opinion of the Hou Ye, is it possible for this Shanghai county to be held?" ”

"It is absolutely impossible, now that our department is far from the Tartar elite, the water war may be promising, and the head-to-head confrontation is still very insufficient. At present, Su Song's Tartar is just stuck in the quagmire and can't extricate himself, so we will have a chance, and when the reinforcements from Nanjing arrive, we will be able to hold on for a while, and sooner or later we will be consumed here by a steady stream of reinforcements. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingzhen couldn't help but sigh and said: "Then give up this city as soon as possible, don't wait for the Tartars to arrive here and stay here, I'm okay to wait, I'm afraid that the local people will suffer." ”

"That's right, but that magistrate can still use it to repeat the old tricks. If you can deceive Chongming City, it will also be a good thing. (To be continued.) )
