Chapter 454: Secret Dispute
"Governor, where do you speak, the governor you lead the overall situation well, and the generals work hard and conscientiously, and the subordinates have only done some internal things, where is the credit!" After listening to Ren Siqi's words, Li Yanzhi hurriedly put down the teacup and said modestly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Brother Hiko's too modest." Ren Siqi smiled and shook his head.
"The subordinates are not modest, and if you want to say that the meritorious generals are also fighting bravely on the front line, without them, Chongming would not be thriving day by day. Take General Liu Zhaoji as an example, in the past half month, he has transported back to Chongming from Changzhou with 280,000 taels of silver and 350,000 quintals of grain.
Now my subordinates have more and more admiration for you, the governor, only you can come up with such a genius strategy of sending guerrilla troops, Ma Yingkui Ma Liang in Songjiang, Ren Xingfan in Taihu, and Liu Zhaoji in Changzhou, it is with them that money, grain and materials are continuously transported back to Chongming. ”
Li Yanzhi admired and patted his ass vigorously.
When it comes to money and grain, Chen Zilong, who joined the army, has the most right to speak, because every batch of money and grain transported into Chongming has to pass through his hands and then deposit it in Chongming's treasury, and he knows Chongming's current financial resources well.
But no matter how much money and food there are soldiers, what's the use of not resisting the Qing Dynasty? The fall of Jiading and the fall of Songjiang have made Chen Zilong, who is worried about state affairs, anxious, Ren Siqi's strategy is clearly to give up Jiangyin, retreat, retreat, retreat, all the cities are surrendered to the Manchus, only hiding in the lakes and rivers to survive, what is the use of getting more money and food? Chen Zilong has always wanted to find an opportunity to advise Ren Siqi not to retreat, why can't the tens of thousands of people in the Chongming Army fight a good battle with the Manchus? Now Li Yanzhi mentioned Liu Zhaoji again, which made Chen Zilong explode all of a sudden.
With a "Huo" sound, Chen Zilong stood up, his face gloomy.
"Governor, the lower officials impeached the town general Liu Zhaoji, abandoned the city, lost his teachers and humiliated the country, please remove the governor."
"Ahh Ren Siqi and Li Yan looked at each other in surprise, everyone drank tea and chatted well, why did they get mad when they didn't agree with each other!
"Lord Chen's words are serious, there is a place to abandon the city, how to talk about losing the teacher and humiliating the country, General Liu Zhaoji did not lose the battle, but defeated Liu Liangzuo's army and captured Changzhou." Li Yanzhi said dissatisfiedly. As soon as he praised Liu Zhaoji, Chen Zilong proposed to punish him, isn't this clearly right with himself!
"Since you captured Changzhou, why don't you defend it? Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu are just county officials, petty officials who do not enter the stream, leading a group of unarmed people, and they can still defend Jiangyin without retreating, Liu Zhaoji, as a major general of the country, commands thousands of elite soldiers, but he gave up Changzhou without firing a shot, what are you waiting for if such a cowardly person is not dismissed? It's a shame that you, Li Yanzhi, are an important minister around the governor, how can you defend such a person? Chen Zilong looked at Li Yanzhi with disdain.
"You, you," Li Yan pointed directly at Chen Zilong, speechless with anger. Isn't that unreasonable! More than 100,000 Manchu and Han soldiers could not be dealt with by Liu Zhaoji's thousands of people, but Chen Zilong's mention of Jiangyin made Li Yanzhi irrefutable. Chen Zilong was born as a Jinshi and a famous scholar in Jiangnan, Li Yanzhi was a little lacking in confidence every time he faced him, and he didn't dare to stand up and defend loudly.
Ren Siqi was still smiling and listening to the debate between the two, but Chen Zilong's voice became higher and higher, and his words were full of doubts about the strategy he had formulated, and his face couldn't help but sink.
Chen Zilong didn't care about Ren Siqi's face, scolded Li Yanzhi loudly, and couldn't raise his head to reprimand Li Yanzhi in the name of righteousness.
"Okay, Brother Zilong will calm his anger for the time being," Ren Siqi finally couldn't help it, and persuaded: "General Liu Zhaoji is certainly at fault, but after all, the merits outweigh the faults. What's more, he gave up Changzhou and retreated to Jingjiang according to my instructions, and if Brother Zilong wants to blame, blame Benjue. ”
Seeing that Ren Siqi took the responsibility on himself, Chen Zilong stopped spraying unsatisfactorily.
"Dudu, we have given up on Jiading Songjiang, but we must not retreat. The current Jiangyin is our only stronghold in the south of the Yangtze River, and if we lose it again, we will only have the isolated island of Chongming. One eye is dead and both eyes are alive, and if we lose Jiangyin, our game of chess will not be easy to play. Chen Zilong persuaded bitterly.
"Now the king of Tang is in Fujian Dengji, and his subordinates Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui brothers are strong and strong; King Lu supervised the country in eastern Zhejiang, and there were still tens of thousands of troops under his command under the command of Wang Zhiren and Fang Guoan; He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, has more than 100,000 troops under his command, which can be described as strong and strong; Fujian, Huguang, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Liangguang, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces are all under the rule of my Ming Dynasty, as long as the governor can hold Jiangyin and contain the main force of the Manchu Qing in the south of the Yangtze River, the people and righteous people everywhere will inevitably respond in groups, and everyone will work together to expel the Manchus from the Central Plains and drive them back to the Guanwai. At that time, you will be the first hero of Ming Zhongxing! ”
Chen Zilong spoke generously, his tone was sonorous and powerful, and his passionate words were extremely infectious, even Amakusa Feng stopped making tea, and looked at him intently, his big eyes blinked, and there were little stars inside.
"At the beginning, there were hundreds of thousands of troops in the four towns of Jiangbei, and they were not defeated by the Qing soldiers and surrendered one after another, if the army of the imperial court could count on the sows, they could go up the trees." Li Yan pouted secretly.
Chen Zilong didn't pay attention to Li Yanzhi's cold words, but just stared at Ren Siqi with blazing eyes.
"Brother Zilong, it seems that we have already debated this issue once when you first arrived in Chongming," Ren Siqi smiled bitterly, "Isn't it time now!" ”
"Please make it clear to the governor, when is the so-called time?" Chen Zilong asked.
"The situation will inevitably change within a year, and then it will be the time for my Chongming army to shine." Ren Siqi said helplessly.
"So I'll see!" Chen Zilong retreated.
"Chen Zilong is so rude, who does he think he is? Could it be that Chongming can't leave him? Li Yanzhi was very angry, what he hated most was Chen Zilong's arrogant and empty-eyed appearance.
"Okay, Brother Hiko, let's go and get busy." Ren Siqi waved his hand and sent Li Yanzhi out.
With the gradual growth of Chongming's power, the civil and military forces on the island were faintly divided into many groups, the Daishan veteran faction headed by Mao Shiba, the Qingzhou faction headed by Li Yanzhi, and the Songjiang faction headed by Chen Zilong. But as long as they don't make mistakes and don't pour out on each other, Ren Siqi is silent about this situation.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and any force will not be monolithic, and moderate internal competition will be more conducive to the development and growth of Chongming. If all subordinates are extremely united, it will make Ren Siqi even more uneasy.
