In September of the tenth year of Yongli, the whole north is already about to be rained. In the south www.biquge.info Chen Wen had already ended his strategy against Fujian and Guangdong provinces and returned to Jinhua Mansion in Zhejiang.

The army was dispatched in March, and it took less than three months, Liu Qingtai, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, and Ma Xiong, the chief soldier of Dingnan, were successively awarded the head, and Hao Shangjiu, the chief soldier of Chaozhou, announced that he would accept the reorganization and go to Hangzhou to become a rich man.

Today, the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong have changed color, except for Zhangzhou and Quanzhou in Fujian, which are in the hands of Zheng Chenggong, and other places have been in Chen Wen's bag.

Fujian and Guangdong are relatively simple, and it is nothing more than Chen Wen sweeping away the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the two provinces, and then collecting their land for his own use. In Guangxi Province, when Chen Wen attacked Guangdong, Li Dingguo sent Baokang Hou He Jiuyi to seize Nanning Mansion in advance, and An Youfu, who sent troops to Guangxi, received the order to take Wuzhou Mansion, Xunzhou Mansion and Leping Mansion. At this point, Sun Kewang occupied Guilin in the north, Li Dingguo occupied most of the central, western and southern parts of Guangxi, and Chen Wen occupied the eastern part of Guangxi.

Compared with Guangdong, whether Guangxi will take it all, Chen Wen did not pay too much attention to it. The province's population, taxation and development level are only less than one-tenth of Guangdong's, making it a poor province. Moreover, there are a lot of Tusi here, bordering the Kingdom of Annam as a vassal country, which involves a lot of problems, occupying the east, Guangdong has a barrier, and Chen Wen does not plan to continue to move west to touch the bottom line of the Yongli court.

In addition, the two Guangming armies, including Linghai General Chen Qice and Hailing Island General Li Changrong, announced that they would accept the reorganization, and the two Guangming armies, including Zhangping Bo Zhou Jintang, Hu Ben General Wang Xing, and Jingqi General Deng Yao, retreated into Guangxi and attached themselves to Li Dingguo. Officials such as the governor Guo Zhiqi, the governor of Liangguang Lian Chengbi, and the governor of the four prefectures of Gao Lian Lei Qiong, Zhang Xiaoqi, were expelled to Guangxi by Chen Wen after the battle line was stabilized, and asked them to return to Kunming to explain the chaos in Guangdong to the imperial court.

It was not until the end of July that Chen Wen had ensured the stability of the military and political power in the newly occupied areas before leaving Guangzhou and returning to Zhejiang via Jiangxi.

During this period, Zheng Chenggong's side seemed to be still preparing for an attack on Taiwan, and the recovery of Quanzhou did not seem to give him much help, but slowed down his trip, which was unexpected by Chen Wen. However, Chen Wen had previously said that he would give Zheng Chenggong a few mortars, and now the artillery crew is still undergoing training in Jinhua, and it is estimated that Zheng Chenggong will not be able to set off for a while.

On the side of the Yongli Imperial Court, there was no movement after Chen Wen's protest, except for Li Dingguo's subordinates who took over the Nanning Mansion and curbed the momentum of the westward advance of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, the others were as if nothing had happened, and they were unusually silent.

And Sun Kewang's side, it was even more calm and unbelievable, Chen Wen broke Shang Kexi, Sun Kewang did not infiltrate Guangxi through Guilin Mansion, but put on a stubborn posture. Even in the south of Huguang, Chen Wen also got the information that Sun Kewang was shrinking his forces in Guizhou, and he was completely less arrogant when Chen Wen went north to collect Jiangnan.

"They're afraid that I'll take advantage of the fisherman."

Sitting in the study, Chen Wen shook his head with a smile, Zhou Yueying, who had just added incense, sat quietly beside Chen Wen, holding the military intelligence report from the southwest and reading it carefully, but finally put the report back on the table in a sneer.

"With a husband in Guangdong, they can't fight. Now that my husband has returned to Zhejiang to guard our mother and daughter, I am afraid that Sun Kewang will not be able to bear it for a long time. ”

Yongli has now moved from Anlong to Kunming, and has restored a certain degree of imperial power from being under house arrest by Sun Kewang to entering Kunming, which Sun Kewang cannot tolerate. The duet of Sun and Li's infighting is imminent, and the infighting of the three kings is about to kick off, just as Zhou Yueying said, if it weren't for Chen Wen's army to enter Guangdong, they were afraid that they would have started a war long ago, just like in history, when Sun Kewang committed an internal crime, the Qing army moved, and the two immediately covered their hands and made peace.

"Hey, I've been in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a long time, and those filthy things feel disgusting when I look at them from afar."

Chen Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head, all he wanted was to end the rule of the Manchus and rewrite this and the history of the next hundreds of years. For this reason, he continued to work hard, worked hard, and endured too many open guns and arrows that ordinary people could not endure, so that the Ming Army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang had such a weather today.

But now, Li Dingguo's Geng Geng loyalty, in fact, Sun Kewang has no way out, but with the civil war, in the final analysis, it is not the anti-Qing forces that are damaged, who will repay the blood of those Han family sons and young warriors in the southwest who resisted the oppression of the Manchu nation.

Historically, because the infighting between the three kings broke the balance in the confrontation between the Southwest Ming Army and the Southwest Qing Army, Li Dingguo was loyal and understandable, and the ambitious Sun Kewang should be responsible for the infighting in the Southwest Ming Army. But then, when it was really time for Li Dingguo to take power, his performance was really shocking, and in the end, the Manchu Qing swept the southwest just through Sun Kewang's letters, and the battle of Mopan Mountain, where Li Dingguo pinned all his hopes, was also because the Chinese official was punished by him and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, which led to the end of the killing, which is really a pity.

"Husband, it's no fun to count on them in the Northern Expedition. Now it's better for them to make trouble, so that they don't have to jump out and make trouble again when our Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Wang Divisions go on the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. ”

Zhou Yueying pouted, even if she was an adult mother, this little daughter's style still made Chen Wen's heart move. Next, Chen Wen's wry smile couldn't be maintained, he shook his head, and then said to Zhou Yueying with a smile: "Nanjing is going down, the general trend is in me, expand the advantage step by step, and then the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, the gap in hard power is enough to crush all the charms." ”

"Glamorous spirits? Is this what the husband is referring to? ”

Zhou Yueying picked up a report, this is a secret report, a secret report from the north, and it is the first report from the Beijing station of the newly established Military Intelligence Department. However, it was this first report that really attracted Chen Wen's attention, but Zhou Yueying just dismissed it as a trapping beast and threw it on the desk, if Chen Wen hadn't used such a word, she wouldn't have remembered it.

"Look, the news of Jierharang's death reached Beijing, and Shunzhi Xiao'er was almost frightened and ran back to Liaodong. What a good boy, I can't wait to give him the name of Emperor Qingshun, but it's a pity that he was coerced by those Eight Banners disciples, and he was stunned and made an edict against himself, I don't know how aggrieved he was at that time. ”

Chen Wen's ridicule, but Zhou Yueying sneered, and then the green fingers turned over, and the fingertips pointed to a passage in it with a little air, as if she was afraid that what was said on it would dirty her little hands.

"What about this?"

"Liu Cheng?"

Seeing this paragraph, Chen Wen shook his head, and then asked: "Lady still remember that you asked your husband just now, for this traitor, does the Tartar really trust him?" ”

Zhou Yueying nodded, this is exactly what she asked before, because the report mentioned Liu Cheng's promotion speed and the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to form a new army, although the specific tactics have not yet been found, but Liu Cheng was a training officer of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming Army, and his people are also quite well-connected in the middle and high levels of the army, whether it is the new army or his people, it will be a threat after all.

"There is trust, but beware will be greater. I dare to assert that Liu Cheng is now useful to the Tartars, and it is not difficult to be promoted, and it is not unthinkable to even carry the flag into the upper three banners of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, marry a clan woman, or even make Gege a daughter-in-law. But when this person is useless against the tartar, how high he holds it at the beginning, how hard he will fall at that time. ”

Chen Wen's remarks are not groundless. In the Qing Dynasty, there were Han people who gave marquis. However, these loyal dogs who have made great achievements for our Qing Dynasty often end up unsatisfactory.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, King Sanshun added double cannons to the Manchu chessboard, and even induced a large number of Dongjiang troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, completely removing the threat of the Dongjiang Army for the Manchus. After entering the customs, they conquered various places and made great contributions, and later relied on them to occupy the land of Liangguang in one fell swoop, squeezing the Yongli court to Yungui in the southwest.

As a result, a daughter who was killed by Li Dingguo in Guilin, cut off her children and grandchildren, and survived by luck first served Shunzhi, and later married the son of a general, and finally ended up with a bleak ending; When he went south, he committed suicide in fear because of the fugitive law, and his grandson participated in the rebellion of the three feudatories, and then returned to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to contribute a lot to it, but the Manchu court broke its word and became fat, and when the war subsided, it left the preface of the past and was imprisoned in the city; And the last one died of depression, and many of his sons were killed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty as the former, and the two sons were also exiled to Liaodong if they were spared.

The king of Sanshun is like this, the king of Pingxi Wu Sangui set off the rebellion of the three feudatories, not to mention, the righteous king Sun Kewang has made great contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to completely end the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the outstanding merits are not inferior to the other four Han vassal kings, as a result, the war subsided, and was pulled out to hunt, just like a fox and a rabbit, and then his son was also constantly attacking, and Sun Tzu was already a first-class light car captain, and even to the Qianlong Dynasty was completely exempted from the title.

Of the five princes, none of them died well, and all of them died unexpectedly, and Wu Sangui, who rose up against the Qing Dynasty, was the most normal one. This is true of kings, as well as of dukes and marquises.

The first-class Haicheng Gong Huang Wu, dedicated Haicheng, recommended Shi Lang, on the five strategies to destroy the thief, please punish Zheng Zhilong, strict sea ban, no help, move troops to the seashore, prevent troops from landing, increase warships, and practice water warfare, which is to lay the foundation for the platform in the early stage. As a result, in the rebellion of the three feudatories, Zheng Jing entered Zhangzhou, the whole family died, and Huang Wu was even destroyed by opening the coffin.

Also executed by Zheng Jing was the descendants of Shen Zhixiang, the Duke of Xushun, who was also killed by the whole family, and no one was left. Zheng Jingneng is so cruel to these traitors, and his people are not outright waste. However, his son, Zheng Kexuan, who was canonized as the Duke of Haicheng after descending to the Qing Dynasty, ended up depressed and ended up without an heir, which can be regarded as the revenge of the traitors in the Qing Dynasty.

Duke Bai Wenxuan of Yan'en, Duke Chen Fu, descended and stopped attacking. The first-class Shunqin Marquis Ma Degong, the second-class Shunyi Marquis Tian Xiong, with the Hongguang Emperor as the name of the vote, conscientious and conscientious service for many years, suppressed all the Fujian and Zhejiang Ming armies, all died on the battlefield, the first-class Shunqin Marquis was removed to the Yongzheng Dynasty, and the second-class Shunyi Marquis was named by his brother because Tian Xiong had no queen.

Ma Degong and Tian Xiong were both old opponents of Chen Wen, the latter had died at the hands of Chen Wen, and another pillar of the Great Qing Dynasty who died in the hands of Chen Wen, Daniel Zhang, the first general of the Green Battalion in the early Qing Dynasty, contracted an illness in the army in his later years, but Kangxi sent to the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment and suddenly died violently, and Zi was silent.

Further down, Li Guohan, the third-class Hou Morgen's guard, went from Yunnan to Yunnan and died in the army; The third-class Jinghai Marquis Shi Lang intimidated Kangxi with words, resigned, was not allowed, and finally died in office; Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Tongan, handed over Fujian to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and finally beheaded the whole door; Respectful to the Marquis Wu Weihua, he was awarded the marquis for his merits, and finally took the title for his crimes; Jianyi Marquis Lin Xingzhu, the Battle of Yaksa, the conquest of Ulan Butong all have special honors, and they were jealous of the Manchurian magnates, and their soldiers were all from Fujian, and as a result, they were sent to be stationed in the bitter cold land outside the Guan, and were oppressed by the banner officials, and died over the years.

This was the case in the early stage, and Nian Qianyao, Sun Shiyi, Yue Zhongqi, Yang Yuchun and others in the middle period all made great contributions to the Qing court, and they did not end well. In the later period, Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang had the grace of reinvention of the Manchu Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi of the Manchu Dynasty, but the result was still splashed with dirty water and fell into infamy through the ages.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty's vigilance against the Han people, and even the Han military flag, can be seen from this, the Han people in the Qing Dynasty, no matter how meritorious they are, in the end often they often can't even do a good death, either killed by the enemy, or executed or forced to death by the Manchu Qing, and even many people can't even save the good death of their heirs, and very few can die a good death.

There is a Qing generation, and the Han princes of the thirteen dynasties before and after, no matter what kind of feats they make, the result is often just a road of no return.

As for Liu Cheng's future, Chen Wen is not easy to say, but judging from the ending of these famous Han generals and ministers of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that it may not be much better, unless Liu Cheng really learns Wu Sangui and Yuan Shikai, and maybe there is the possibility of taking his fate into his own hands.

"Lady, this person was able to betray me because of Cao Conglong's temptation, and when I returned to my division to quell the rebellion, he betrayed Cao Conglong with his backhand. Now that the Tartars have been lowered, I am afraid that there may not be much courage and loyalty. ”

Liu Cheng's future came to Chen Wen's mind for a long time, but it was only fleeting. The new army needs real attention, if it can be tossed and tossed, our Qing Dynasty in the last years of the dynasty can be described as a fancy show of skills - the Westernization Movement, the Hundred Days Restoration, the New Deal at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the preparation of the constitution, the imperial cabinet, can be called full of tricks, militarily it once created the strongest navy in Asia and the Beiyang Group that ruled the Republic of China for more than ten years. Now that the corruption of the Eight Banners has just begun, the vitality is still there, and God knows what tricks can be tossed out in the end, and it is impossible to really scare him if he can't get it.

However, these things still need time to be explored, now the strategic initiative is in hand, time is Chen Wen's friend, the Manchu Qing Dynasty cannot always keep it secret, one day he will figure it out. For today's plan, in the final analysis, it is necessary to continue to enhance its own strength, and it is necessary to be hard to strike iron, and this truth cannot be found at any time.
