Jiangxi, Ganzhou.

"The end will see Hong Jingluo!"

Jin Shenghuan and Wang Tizhong, who are guarding here, pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, and the slightly gray hair of a man who is over half a hundred years old but has a strong physique and slightly gray hair not only does not add to the old age, but with a light and light scribe temperament, it looks out of the world, and he feels like a fairy wind and bones.

This person is Hong Chengchou, whom Yang Chao has been paying attention to, but Yang Chao would never have imagined that after Hong Chengchou transferred the elite soldiers from Jiangxi, he himself came to Jiangxi.

"Two generals, please!"

Hong Chengchou politely helped Jin Shenghuan and Wang Tizhong up.

Although Jin and Wang stood up, they were very worried in their hearts, Hong Chengchou was famous, and they couldn't help muttering.

Moreover, Dolgon enabled Hong Chengchou and asked him to be the Jiangnan Economic Strategy, and all the Qing troops in Jiangnan listened to his moderation, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the first person in Jiangnan in the Qing court, but the two didn't know why this Hong Chengchou suddenly came to Ganzhou alone and secretly to summon them.

"I don't know what kind of military life I have here?"

Jin Shenghuan still decided to ask directly.

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "Ben Jinglu has heard a little about the affairs of Jiangxi, I heard that Zhang Yutian and Dong Xuecheng, two fools who have not achieved enough things and more than enough to lose, have bullied the generals regardless of the overall situation. ”

"This, this!"

Jin Shenghuan and Wang Tizhong couldn't help but be a little surprised, those two ruffians had been bullying them, relying on the prestige of the Qing court, but they didn't want to be taken down by Hong Chengchou.

"The two generals don't believe it, this official has a codex here, which is to be sent to the Holy Lord. There are also the official seals of Zhang Yutian and Dong Xuecheng here, and the north of this book is slightly confiscated. ”

Saying that, let the servants show them one by one, and he came with an old servant at this time, riding a donkey, which was indeed very chic.

Jin Shenghuan and Wang Tizhong believed it, and they couldn't help but breathe a bad breath in their hearts, they were bullied by civilian officials when they were in the Ming army, but they didn't expect to surrender and become a Qing army. was still oppressed by civilian officials, and he had already held back a lot of resentment in his heart.

"You don't have to be suspicious. The two generals collected Jiangxi for my Qing Dynasty, and the merit was greater than the sky, and the emperor and the regent knew it in their hearts. can really tolerate the oppression of two unarmed civil servants, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers. You should know that I am the most meritorious person in the Qing Dynasty, and I will never be a meritorious person. There is a letter to be handed over to General Jin, which is written by Meng Geng, the son of Zuoping thief. You have read this letter and need not doubt it. ”

Jin Shenghuan took the letter, and after reading it, his hands trembled.

"Jinglu, is what this letter says true?"

"What are you writing, look at your excited balls."

Wang Tizhong saw Jin Shenghuan's appearance and couldn't help but ask anxiously.

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard lightly and just nodded.

Jin Shenghuan secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said: "The emperor wants to crown us kings." ”

"What!"

Wang Tizhong was surprised, and couldn't believe it for a while.

"Two generals, no suspicion! But can you be crowned king? It's up to you. ”

Stimulated by the king, Jin Shenghuan didn't want to surrender to the Ming army for the time being.

He immediately said: "Everything is subject to the military orders, and we will do whatever the scripture tells us to do." ”

Wang Tizhong also said: "I also listen to you." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and smiled: "So very good, very good, it is my loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty." I order the two of you to be on standby at any time, prepare to attack Fujian, and then go south to Guangdong, and remember to capture the puppet Ming emperor alive. If the big thing is done, this book dares to use a head guarantee. General Jin was named King Min, and he was a vassal of Fujian in Yongzhen of the Qing Dynasty. Wang Tizhong is the king of Guangdong, and Yongzhen is Guangdong. Territories are enclosed. ”

The two kings, the two verbal promises, immediately made Jin and Wang kneel on the ground to express their positions.

"If you dare not listen to the orders of the scripture strategy, it will be the death of the scripture strategy!"

"Good, good."

Hong Chengchou nodded vigorously.

Finally, he asked: "I have heard that the lobbyists of the Fujian Imperial Court and Zheng Zhilong are in your army?" It's good to have a glimpse of this scripture. ”

The two looked at each other in shock: "After a little forgiveness of the sins, the last general will immediately kill this lobbyist." Lead the troops to kill Fujian and capture the puppet emperor! ”

Hong Chengchou smiled: "No hurry, no hurry. This scripture is really to see them, you two must not be suspicious, this scripture has its own plan, bring it over quickly, there must be no mistakes. ”

Only then did the two agree: "Yes." ”

Nanking.

"The Qing army built warships in Panyang Lake?"

Lü Mo's spies easily found out the new developments of the Qing army from Jiangxi, and they could send someone back to report Yang Chao.

"What do you Lu Zongbing think?"

Yang Chao planned to hear the thoughts of the front-line officers.

Tanma said: "Governor of the capital, General Lu believes that the Qing army must want to attack Huizhou along the waterway. ”

Yang Chao said: "Building a batch of small boats, it really doesn't look like attacking from the Yangtze River, I kill as many broken ships as I want, it doesn't make any sense." ”

"Let you General Lu be on guard, the floating beam must not be lost, and Huizhou must not be lost!"

Fuliang County, where Jingdezhen is located, is still in the hands of Lü Mo, and it is an important place, but Huizhou is also very important.

"In case he can't defend it, I will allow him to evacuate Fuliang, but Huizhou must not allow mistakes."

Although Jingdezhen is important, it is only economically important, Huizhou is a strategic place, and Huizhou is the real flank of Jiangnan, so as a last resort, Yang Chao would rather give up Jingdezhen.

"What the hell is Hong Chengchou doing?"

The Qing army in Panyang Lake did not make any waves, Yang Chao didn't care too much, he was more concerned about Hong Chengchou, and where Hong Chengchou was, so far there has been no news about Hong Chengchou.

Yang Chao was not shocked by Hong Chengchou's name, but such a person hiding in the shadows really made people feel nannan, if he appeared on any front line, Yang Chao would not take him too seriously, but he never showed up, which made people have to guard against it.

Nanchang, Hong Chengchou quietly came to Nanchang when he came back from Ganzhou.

A general beside him was wearing tattered cotton armor, but he knew that there was something at a glance under the bulging cotton armor, but who knew that it was gorgeous and sophisticated iron armor if he didn't lift his clothes.

"Huh? Are Jin Shenghuan and Wang Tizhong still very capable of fighting, why did they do nothing under Zuo Liangyu and Li Zicheng before. ”

Holding the battle report in his hand, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, that's not the credit of Hong Jingluo's strategy, otherwise what can those two rebels do!"

The general flattered Hong Chengchou a little, but there was no half flattery in his demeanor, and he seemed to be on an equal footing with Hong Chengchou.

King Huaishun laughed, the so-called strategizing is just the truth of the civil officials above the high hall of the Ming Court to invite merit, where is there any strategizing to retreat from the enemy. Hum! ”

Hong Chengchou snorted coldly, and the second half of the sentence was not said, that is, the matter of the Ming Dynasty was bad in the ministers and eunuchs who were fighting for merit like wild dogs, and the military generals in front of them won a battle, and most of the credit should be recorded on the heads of the military department and the cabinet chiefs who had not even seen the face of the enemy.

"Hong Jingluo, since Jin and Wang have invaded Zhejiang, we don't have to go, right?"

The general asked at this time.

Hong Chengchou nodded: "The three princes can really move lightly, the so-called killing chickens with a knife, the three princes just prepare to go straight to Nanjing and capture Yang Chao alive!" ”

The general nodded and said, "Then I'm going to reorganize the army!" ”

Hong Chengchou said: "I'm tired." ”

Watching the generals go out, Hong Chengchou put away his polite face, and then showed a look of enjoyment, this kind of strategizing feeling is really good, no wonder the guys in the court back then fought with the evil dogs like.

As a civil official, Hong Chengchou also thinks that strategy is extremely important, martial arts are just auxiliary, there is icing on the cake, there is nothing but a side matter, you can use weak soldiers to win the battle, then you can see the ability, I don't see that Han Xin always handed over the elite soldiers in his hands to Liu Bang again and again, what is the result, Han Xin led the temporarily recruited peasants again and again, and the captives who surrendered captured to capture one country after another, and Liu Bang was repeatedly wiped out by Xiang Yu's entire army and then asked Han Xin for help.

As for why Hong Chengchou was defeated by the Qing army in Songshan, Hong Chengchou felt that it was caused by the soldier's disobedience to orders, and it had nothing to do with his strategy, but he admitted that he was still a little too tender at that time, after so many years of Tao Hui, he felt that he had reached the realm of Han Xin.

"Hmph, Yang Chao is still too young. The strategy of countering the head and pulling the tail has worked, the old man wants to see how you deal with it! ”

Thinking about Hong Chengchou, he immediately ordered: "Order Meler Ezhen Ashan, lead the army to capture Xianxia Pass, and go south to Fujian!" ”

After giving the order, Hong Chengchou drank tea, and he hadn't drunk Fujian's rock tea for many years.

"Zheng Zhilong is old! Don't waste the sword soldiers! ”

Drinking the tea sent by Zheng Zhilong, Hong Chengchou sighed in his heart, Bashan took 10,000 Eight Banners to Fujian to coerce Zheng Zhilong to surrender, which should be a sure thing.

He met the lobbyist sent by Zheng Zhilong in Jin Shenghuan's camp, and wrote a long letter to Zheng Zhilong, a fellow countryman, and Zheng Zhilong sent these teas when he replied, but Zheng Zhilong's attitude was ambiguous, and his wait-and-see attitude was clear at a glance.

Hong Chengchou didn't ask Zheng Zhilong to fall to him immediately, just wait and see, and waiting and seeing means that he is hesitating, which means that he is not completely on the side of Yang Chao.

So Hong Chengchou sighed that Yang Chao was too young, holding heavy soldiers in vain, soldiers, not just charging into battle, not just a kind of power, in Hong Chengchou's view, soldiers, but also a kind of might, the arrows shot out are useless, ready to be ready to launch is the most frightening, and Yang Chao either shoots arrows directly with his bow, or directly puts away and does not use, it is really too bad to use.

The two defeated princes, such a feat, actually only achieved a division of Jiangnan, and did not use their military might to achieve greater political advantages, this is Yang Chao's biggest failure, if Zhejiang can be taken back as soon as possible, Hong Chengchou feels that he can't find Yang Chao's flaws.

"But Fujian, it's time for the old man to go back in person."

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou shouted: "Come on, inform Bashan, Ben Jingluo will walk with him!" ”

In Nanjing, Yang Chao suddenly received an urgent report that the Qing army had invaded Zhejiang, and Jin Shenghuan and Wang Tizhong suddenly returned to the army, crossed Yushan from Guangxin Mansion, and attacked the three counties of Kaihua, Changshan and Jiangshan, and approached Hengzhou Mansion!
