Chen Ming's busy work in Guangzhou lasted until late October, when it came to an end. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info then Chen Ming held a civil and military symposium. Before leaving Guangzhou, he was to hold a general meeting to set the future charter. And this year, he is going back to Lushan during the Chinese New Year.

And this trip does not take the sea route, he wants to hit Guangzhou to go north to Shaozhou, enter Hunan, pass through Hubei, and finally arrive at Lushan!

Before leaving, he convened this civil and military symposium, the purpose of which was to make the Lingnan civil and military clear thinking in the future, and not to be like Hydra who could not distinguish between priorities and priorities.

Chen Han's first Lingnan guard was served by Chen Erbao, and the deputy was Xie Hu, who was transferred from Jiangxi. The latter can be described as a shining new star in the political arena of Chen Han, in just a few years, the prefect of Anqing jumped from Jiangxi to supervise the imperial history, and then jumped from the Jiangxi supervision of the imperial history to the throne of the deputy left-behind. Under Chen Han, there was no such thing as a governor. Replace it with a stay-at-home approach. Lingnan Liushou is the Governor of Liangguang, and the Deputy Governor is also the Deputy Governor.

The Battle of Jiangxi, which began a month earlier than the Battle of Guangdong, progressed very smoothly. Relying on the advantages of the water division, Miao Fuwei joined forces with the 13th Brigade led by Gao Jinghui of the 2nd Garrison Division, plus two regiments sent by Gao Pingshan in Anhui Province, and the Yangtze River Water Division of the Fu Han Army, and captured Nanchang City in one fell swoop. On the plain along Poyang Lake, the offensive of the Fu Han army was in full swing and unstoppable. Moreover, Xie Hu also personally stepped forward to rebel against his good friend at the beginning - Zheng Wenzhi, who is still in the position of a general, has recruited more than 10,000 troops to surrender alone, and if it were not for the mountainous and hilly areas of southern Jiangxi, the war in Jiangxi would have ended long ago.

The Qing army has been playing 'kraft candy' tactics with the Fu Han army, frequently using the mountains to delay the offensive of the Fu Han army, and lining up small units to sneak attack the transportation lines of the Fu Han army. If it weren't for the fact that Guangzhou was taken by the Fu Han army, Nanxiong and Shaozhou quickly changed color, and the Qing army was surrounded on all sides, and completely fell into a desperate situation, so that the army's morale was scattered, most of the soldiers fled, and Miao Fuwei, who was caught with the opportunity, was flattened in one fell swoop, and the territory of southern Gan was still entangled. Haicheng, who replaced Wu Shaoshi as the governor of Jiangxi, seemed to be too confident in the Qing army in Guangdong, and did not lead his troops from Jiangxi to Guangdong as early as Chen Jie did. Jiangxi Governor Haicheng was directly exterminated in the complex and tortuous mountains of Ganzhou.

Chen Han's territory has now been connected, and Lu Shan is already adjusting officials in various places and preparing to appoint provincial-level officials. In less than a year, the territory of Chen Han's subordinates has undergone earth-shaking changes. It has long been not a small half of Henan, a lake is so simple. Most of the southern kingdom became their ruling area, and a provincial system was imperative.

If Xie Hu had not transferred south to Lingnan, Chen Han's throne as the first governor of Jiangxi would inevitably have his name engraved. Now he has been transferred to the deputy Lingnan to stay behind, although he has reached a higher level in terms of level, one is in charge of his own house, and the other is that he is pressing a mountain above his head, and he has to deal with the war, it is difficult to say whether he has earned or lost!

The governor of Jiangxi was served by Zheng Wen, the former prefect of Jiujiang, and the prefect of Jiujiang was replaced by Xiao Lou.

The latter is outstanding in the position of Pengzezhi County.

He agreed meaninglessly with the decree on "Disclosure of Officials' Property Declaration" issued by Chen Han not long ago, and was the first to submit a summary of his own and his close relatives' assets to Zheng Wen, and Zheng Wen really didn't find out a little hidden in the subsequent verification!

Zheng Wen didn't believe that Xiao Lou was really frank and had nothing to hide. He has been with Xiao Lou's superiors and subordinates for a while, and he doesn't mention Xiao Lou's ability, but his impression of Xiao Lou's personality is very clear - slippery.

Of course, Xiao Lou has the ability to find out the hidden prefect of the property, and that is also the ability.

has good ability, high political pole, and high enthusiasm, Xie Hu mentioned the local officials in Jiangxi when he came to Guangzhou, so he specially recommended Xiao Lou in front of Chen Ming. And then he made this big jump!

As for the newly baked governor of Guangdong, if nothing else, it will fall on the head of Lian Ping Yan's Yan Xishen.

Yan Xishen, the word is foolish, called Jingshan, also known as Junxi, a native of Yuanshan Town, Lianping County, born in the seventh year of Yongzheng, and is now forty-two years old. In the 32nd year of Qianlong, Yan Xishen was transferred to Jiangxi as a political envoy, because of the death of his mother, he went home to worry about filial piety, and was reinstated in 34 years, and was awarded the Minister of Guangdong League Training, Yan Xishen was the first Minister of Guangdong League Training, only because his father died immediately, and this title was transferred to the head of Governor Liangqing.

Chen Ming was deeply impressed by Yan Xi. Because of the Guangdong Lianping Yan family, in the hundred years from the Central Qing Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, it was: one family, three worlds, four sections of Yue (superintendent), five departments and ten provinces and eight flowers.

The meaning of this couplet is: In this family, in three generations, there are four feudal officials who have served as governors and governors. In the six Shangshu, even the Ping Yan family held important positions in five ministries, including the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War, in addition to the Ministry of Officials. The Manchu Qing divided the country into 18 provinces, five generals' districts, two ministers' districts, and Inner and Outer Mongolia, which practiced the alliance and flag system. And the Yan family once had people in ten of the eighteen provinces who served as feudal officials.

Finally, there is the "Eight Flower Feathers". During the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the award of Hua Ling (also known as Dai Hua Ling) was used to reward officials. The flower feather is inserted on the edge of the official hat to show glory. The flower feathers are made from the feathers of the peacock's tail. According to the number of eye-like colored markings on the tail of the feather, the flower feather is divided into three kinds of flower feathers, double eye flower feathers and flower feathers, and the one without "eyes" is called blue feather. Eight members of the Yan family have received flower feathers from the imperial court.

It is one of the so-called twenty-eight families of the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Ming also passed this Yan family, and he was very awesome. It's just that he really can't find the so-called 'Twenty-Eight Family' and the Twenty-Seven Family. I can't remember the specific names of those officials in the Yan family, but I only remember one Lianping Yan. And when the secret camp of the Fu Han Army entered Guangdong, after a little investigation, it would naturally be understood by Yan Xi in detail.

This person decisively abandoned the official position of the minister of regimental training by taking advantage of his father's illness, ran back to Lianping's hometown Ding Wei, and closed the door for more than a year. This gave Chen Ming the feeling that this kind of person was definitely not a diehard man of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Sure enough, when the Qing army evacuated and fled west, the Yan family did not move. When the Fu Han army reached Lianping Prefecture, Yan Xishen, as a representative of the local gentry, prevented the local gentry and wealthy households from welcoming the arrival of the Fu Han army. Although he did not come forward in person, he helped the Fu Han army stabilize the situation of Lianpingzhou and even the entire Nanxiong Mansion.

Although he will take the entire Guards Brigade with him when he returns to Henan this time, the troops of the First Garrison Division and several artillery battalions will also be evacuated from Guangdong, and when the garrison troops in Guangdong are established, the First Army Division in Fujian will also be evacuated. However, only two brigades of the 1st Division could pose a major threat to the Qing army that fled all the way to Guangxi after the defeat in Guangzhou. Militarily, he doesn't have to worry about it.

In terms of politics, the Department of Industry and Commerce will share part of the responsibilities of economy and trade, and foreign trade; He didn't care about civil affairs, that was Xie Hu and Yan Xishen's task; He's also very relaxed.

What Chen Ming is really concerned about is the next construction task, which is what he really focuses on: "The foothills of Jinniuling Mountain in Changhua Shilu Town, Qiongzhou Prefecture. Chen Ming took the whip and slammed it on the map of Qiongzhou Mansion.

"It's a place that people probably haven't heard of much."

"There is a copper and iron mine here in Jinniuling. Since the pre-Ming Dynasty, iron and copper have been produced here. It's just that it hasn't been mined on a large scale. ”

"After the governor seized Guangzhou, he ordered 100 people to explore the coal and iron mines in Guangdong, Lianyang in northern Guangdong, Yangchun area in western Guangdong, as well as Dabaoshan, Jianshan, Lishan, Dading, Tieshanzhang and other places really have a lot of reserves." Although they are mainly small and medium-sized iron ores, most of the iron ores in Guangdong are rich in iron ore that is rare in China, and it is no wonder that the smelting and iron manufacturing industry in Foshan Town is so developed. "The most gratifying is the Jinniuling in Qiongzhou, where there is not only a copper mine, but also a super large iron mine with extremely high iron content."

"And besides this iron mine, there's here." Chen Ming's whip slanted west along Hainan's position and hit Annan's position. The Hongji Coal Mine in later generations is simply a treasure land for the development of the iron and steel industry and industry in South China.

Later, Quang Ninh Province in northeastern Vietnam was home to one of the world's largest coalfields. Not only is it easy to mine and low cost, but the quality of the coal is also particularly high.

"This place is going to be taken too. There are large coalfields that are needed for coke for ironmaking. We can take this place in the name of 'doing business'. Can you give that Zheng Sen some money? "Anyway, Chen Ming asked the Nanling civil and military forces present to take the Hongji Coal Mine at the end of next year at the beginning of next year under the premise of not handing over troops. Anyway, Annan himself didn't pay much attention to the coal mine.

Zheng Sen's name is the same as Zheng Chenggong's, but he is not Zheng Chenggong, but the current tenth generation of Zheng Cheng in North Vietnam. Although the Zheng regime still has a layer of skin from the Later Li Dynasty, it has military and political power in its hands, and it can also be called the "Zheng Dynasty". The Zheng family contributed to the Later Li Dynasty for participating in the Later Li Dynasty's war against Mo two hundred years ago, and then fought the first Zheng lord Zheng Jian who held military power, and the Zheng family had a position above the emperor of the Later Li Dynasty.

If you don't understand, you can understand that you can think of Zheng as Cao Cao, who is called the queen, and Cao Wei, who didn't directly remove the skin of 'Liu Han', or simply treat them as Japanese shoguns.

The current Annam is a north-south confrontation, the Trung clan in the north and the Nguyen clan in the south. If Tran Minh is not mistaken, next year or the year after, there will be another Nguyen clan in Vietnam -- Tay Son Sam Nguyen.

These three brothers are not sworn brothers like Liu Guanzhang, but real brothers, who rose up to rebel against the Ruan clan of the Southern Dynasty.

Zheng Zhu used the Xishan Army as a gun, thinking very beautifully, but the reality was unusually skinny. This gun was too powerful, not only piercing the Ruan clan in the south, but also stabbing the Zheng clan with one shot, and by the way, it also stabbed the Manchu Qing dynasty, ending the centuries-old division of Annam. If they hadn't died on their own, Nguyen Phuc Anh, who had already been exiled in Siam, would have no chance of turning the tables around.

[In the Battle of Qingyue, the Qing army won first and then lost, but it was still shamelessly praised by Qianlong Tian as one of the 'Ten Complete Martial Arts', which was a shame. 】

In his previous life, Chen Ming knew this period of history when he was Du Niang Qianlong's 'Ten Complete Martial Arts'. Now that the Fu Han army is sweeping the southern country, it uses 'money' to win Hongji, does Lord Zheng dare to disobey? It's not too easy.

"Guangdong is rich, there is no shortage of money and food, steel is revived, and guns and cannons are born in turn, which is the foundation of our army's attack on the southwest."

The Fu Han Army set up the 10th Gun and Artillery Sub-Bureau in Mancheng, Guangzhou, and concentrated more than 400 elderly people, plus more than 600 deaf, mute, and disabled people who had recently been recruited. This game will become the source of military supplies for the Fu Han army in the process of attacking the southwest.

At the farewell banquet, Chen Ming raised his glass and preached to the civil and military dignitaries present. Then he said: "I hope that all the princes will cooperate sincerely, remember the king's order, and do their best to sweep the southwest and solve the worries of our army." Make contributions and live up to the good years! ”

"The ministers obey the orders of His Highness." Naturally, what you get is a drink that bows your head and obeys.

After the banquet, Chen Ming invited Chen Erbao, Chen Yongsheng and other generals to the front: "This governor regards all the princes as brothers and sisters, and since he was appointed to the Southern Expedition, he has not dared to have private opinions, and the princes are also angry, and have never violated military rules and aroused public resentment. When I return to the capital this time, I will also make it clear to my father. Awarded with its own rewards.

But Hugh must be relieved of his heartstrings, and although the people of Bendu are away from Guangdong, their eyes will always be fixed on this.

Be cautious and don't let down the good times. "Guangdong's Fu Han army fought the Qing army in Guangxi, this is a great opportunity to make war achievements and defeat the water dogs.

This time to Henan, Lingnan Chen Ming will not come back in a short time. For Guangxi's strategy, as well as next year's offensive against the southwest, it will all depend on Chen Erbao and Chen Yongsheng.

Of course, he will not have the luxury of relying only on the Guangdong Fu Han Army to completely subvert the southwest, Hunan's soldiers and horses in Ben Jinzhong and other Qing troops returned to Guizhou and Guangxi, and they are seizing the time to pacify the bandits in Xiangxi, that Liu Fei and the Hunan Army have a tacit understanding, and this year has accumulated merit and been promoted to the capital division, after Ben Jinzhong retreated into Guizhou, he added the rank of general and became a pole in Xiangxi. There were more than a dozen bandits and bandits of all sizes, and there were six or seven thousand soldiers. With such a giant bandit as an internal response, as long as the Hunan army gathers its forces and solves the bandits in Xiangxi in one fell swoop, the army can launch an offensive against the southwest.

Although the time will have to wait until next spring and summer.

There is no smooth river waterway from Hunan to the southwest, and even the avenue is being frantically destroyed by the Qing army bandits, and all this repair will take time. Then there is the reserve of military supplies, the establishment of supply lines + military stations, and the preparation work can be completed when the spring and summer exchanges next year can be completed, which is commendable.

Following Chen Ming back to Lushan was his cousin Chen Liang, who was a great hero of Chen Han. The southern dark battalion led by him really made a great contribution when the Fu Han army captured Jiangnan, Fujian and Guangdong.

There are also Zheng Lianfu and Zheng Lianchang brothers of the Zheng family, Zhang Qiu of the Southeast Water Division, and Pan Zhencheng and others. Qin Dacheng was put back to Jiangnan by Chen Ming, and he would take Shen Guozhen's place and sit on the throne of Jiangnan's supervision of the imperial history, while Shen Guozhen would become the governor of Jiangsu.

The governor of Zhejiang was served by Peng Zhongrui. This person was transferred by Chen Hui to his side as an attendant at the end of last year, and the original 'integrity' seemed to be wiped out by the hardships of the cadre school and the nagging of his family, and he was very obedient during his time as an attendant. Now that he is in Zhejiang as the leader, Chen Ming has nothing to say. In addition to Peng Zhongrui's brains, Chen Ming still trusts his personal integrity and internal affairs ability.

Of course, all of the above are still to be determined, and these appointments will definitely be issued after he returns to Lushan.

In addition to Zhang Zheng and others, Robert, Perrier and Rotony, the former civil affairs chief of Macau, are also the people with the highest position and prestige among the Macanese in naturalized China, and Chen Ming specially brought him back to Lushan.

They were accompanied by hundreds of Portuguese, men and women, old and young, from twenty-two families, most of whom could speak Cantonese Mandarin - very few Macanese who could speak Cantonese but not Mandarin, because almost all the Chinese officials and merchants with whom they dealt could speak Mandarin. Although the Cantonese official dialect also sounds a little awkward. Chen Ming can't use the women of these twenty-two families, but the man, at least can be used to prepare for the foreign language college in Lushan?

They don't just speak Portuguese, they also speak Spanish, English, French, and many more. Some of them have even been sailors or businessmen, and they will be the ones who will lead Chen Han's senior management to look at the world for the first time.

These people were accompanied by a number of books, mainly in the natural sciences and geography, which Chen Ming was not interested in at all, as well as several globes, maps of the world, models of sailing ships, and so on.

Of course, there are also people from the Society of Jesus in Macau.

When the Fu Han army went south to attack Hangzhou, Fuzhou and other places, they more or less captured a few missionaries. Chen Ming didn't embarrass them much, but he also drove them to Macau cleanly.

Nowadays, the foreign trade policy of the Han army is much more open than that of the Tatar Dynasty, and although the taxes are much heavier, they have not relaxed at all in the missionary aspect, which the Jesuits are most concerned about. They are very worried that Chen Ming, who has great influence, will be a 'banist'!

In order to win Chen Ming's favor, these people even wanted to announce the expulsion of their parishioners in Beijing from the Society of Jesus. It's also determined and courageous.

And the truth is, all these kung fu Jesuits are in vain. Chen Ming was very disgusted with monotheism, although he knew that Taoism was fighting the five scum and that the teachings of Chinese Buddhism were very unsuitable for this era. And if he wants to rebuild a religion, he doesn't have the ability.

Even if you start a cult, you must have a set of doctrines that make sense, and there are also canons. Chen Ming didn't believe anything in his previous life, although after crossing over, he 'respected ghosts and gods and stayed away', but he also maintained a skeptical attitude towards ghosts and gods. The devil knows if his crossing is a manifestation of the gods and Buddhas, or a natural phenomenon. Or maybe he worships the god of crossing the most!

But no matter how dissatisfied with the two local sects, Chen Ming didn't find monotheism fun. That thing is spreading the universal values and civilization of the West, and when monotheism flourishes in China, China's traditional values, China's traditional culture, will be fundamentally impacted. Moreover, these missionaries are inextricably linked to the Western powers.

Even if he wanted to bring 22 households and hundreds of Macanese to Lushan, Chen Ming did not plan to let the monotheistic church build a church in Lushan.

Damn, Chen Ming had enough of Valentine's Day and Christmas in his previous life, especially the latter, which was purely a dating festival. It costs money and brains, and it takes energy. It's just the right to say 'no' to Jesus, Chen Ming still thinks it's better to give it to his father!

On October 28, Chen Ming set up a guard of honor and led the army to set off from Guangzhou by boat and advance to Shaoguan along the waterway. At the same time, the Southeast Naval Division returned to Fujian with part of the 1st Garrison Division and the first batch of two artillery battalions, and then went from Fujian to Shanghai.

"It's another year." Chen Ming on the boat looked at Guangzhou that was gradually moving away. (To be continued.) )
