Storm.

The calm sea is charming, the waves are laughing happily around the big boat, and the warship seems to be surrounded by a group of carefree children. The sky and the sea are connected in the distant horizon, as if that were the end of the world.

Zhai Zhe and Zhang Huangyan stood at the bow of the boat.

After several years of exercise, Zhai Zhe is no longer seasick, but he still has an instinctive fear of the sea. What's more, all over Zhejiang and Fujian, whether it is a fisherman who goes out to sea to fish or a maritime merchant who sails to do business, the more familiar he is with the sea, the more fear and respect in his heart become.

The sailor warship was not far from the shore, and the vague mountains and jungles could be seen.

Zhang Huangyan looked at him quietly, he had heard a lot of rumors about this person, and it was the first time he was so close to him. Zhai Zhe has been in Ningshao for more than four years, living in a simple house, and spending most of his time in the barracks.

Folk rumors say that he was a student of Lu Xiangsheng, taking Naishi as an example and being loyal to the country, but some people in the court said that he was domineering and controlled the Tianfu of Ning Shao and several counties in eastern Zhejiang in his hands, and set up the cabinet of King Lu.

Zhang Huangyan had never been in contact with Zhai Zhe, but he was very familiar with Zong Mao, who had been in charge of Ning Shao. Zong Mao acted meticulously and domineeringly, although he had no official position, but relying on the background of Ningbo Military Town, he said the same thing in Ningbo and Shaoxing, and the silver and grain from all over the country were delivered one day later, and he spoke very politely, and even made trouble in front of Qian Sule and Xiong Rulin and even a few ministers. The county magistrates and the lord Bo saw him like a mouse seeing a cat, and the materials had to be carefully verified, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.

He originally thought that with such subordinates, Zhai Zhe, the chief official, must also be domineering and strict, since the Hongguang Dynasty, the image of the Ming Wenchen to the martial artists is mostly like this.

In the past few days, I have been getting along on the boat, at least I haven't seen Zhai Zhe scolding any vulgar words, even to the boatman who is driving the boat, he is kind and pleasant.

"Yue Guogong knows how to win people's hearts!" This is Zhang Huangyan's first evaluation.

When his mind was thinking wildly, Zhai Zhe turned around and asked in a half-joking tone: "Xuanzhu, you can ride and shoot, are you willing to serve in the army?" ”

Zhang Huangyan didn't have time to think, and replied quickly: "I am willing to go into battle to kill the Tartars." ”

He is ten years younger than Zhai Zhe, and his status is also very different. This difference is not only in official titles, but also in prestige and influence. No matter what the court's opinion of Zhai Zhe is, it is he who single-handedly supports this piece of heaven in eastern Zhejiang.

Looking at Zhai Zhe's back, he had all kinds of guesses, and when Zhai Zhe spoke to him, there was a kind of pressure to be kind and pleasant.

Zhai Zhe said slowly: "Jiangnan is a heavy place for taxation, and the Qing Dynasty will not give up lightly, and it is not a long-term solution to rely only on the hard support of eastern Zhejiang." I set up camp on Chongming Island, which could deter the eastern front of Songjiang and Changzhou, and contain the forces of the Qing captives. However, the rebel armies in the mountainous areas of southern Anhui on the western front were still fighting on their own. ”

He stretched out his hand and drew an arc in the air, saying: "If southern Anhui rises, we will form a large-scale strategic encirclement of Jiangnan, contain the forces of the Qing captives from all sides, and at the same time ensure the security of the western front of Hangzhou." ”

Perhaps it was Lu Xiangsheng's first impression that Zhai Zhe attached great importance to the scholars who had practiced martial arts, so he set his sights on Zhang Huangyan, who had not known each other for a long time.

The courtiers were too far away from the barracks, and either they only knew how to limit the power of the generals, or they only knew how to curry favor with the military towns with heavy troops. Most of the rebels are dog slaughterers, and only those who can put down their bodies and mingle with them can gain their respect. Just like himself, he actually disdains the cabinet in Shaoxing, but every time he does something, he still asks for instructions and makes mistakes.

Zhang Huangyan's eyes flashed with excitement, and he asked, "Does Yue Guogong still want to enter southern Anhui?" ”

Zhai Zhe shook his head and spread his hands, "I don't have any soldiers in my hands, and the soldiers in southern Anhui are there." Jingxian, Ningguo and other places all rebelled against the army, but they were not the opponents of the Qing army, and if they could not be coordinated, they would be defeated by the Qing army. ”

Without soldiers, how to enter southern Anhui, Zhang Huangyan was confused.

Zhai Zhe pointed to the sea and said, "You were born in Ningbo, and you can't sail when you know that the tide is coming, and you can't go out to sea during a storm." ”

"I know below!"

"Under the shaving order, although the crowd in various places is turbulent, most of them rise from scratch and fight for themselves, not the opponents of the Qing Dynasty who have been in battle for a long time. This is true in the south of the Yangtze River, and the same is true in the north of the Yangtze River. At present, the momentum of Qingyu is flourishing, just like the tide of the Qiantang River in August, and the momentum is at its peak. I Ching has clouds: the flying dragon is in the sky, and the dragon has regrets. The top priority is not to fight the Qinglu on the battlefield, but to let the Qingyu fall into a big quagmire from which they cannot extricate themselves everywhere, so survival is the most important thing. ”

Zhang Huangyan nodded, but there was confusion in his eyes, as if he understood something, but he didn't seem to be too clear.

Zhai Zhe smiled and didn't explain much, when he followed him around Chongming Island, he should have understood.

The essence of war lies in dispersion and concentration, from a small confrontation to a whole strategy.

The warship sailed at sea for two days to reach Chongming Island, which was much faster than marching on the road. This is the embodiment of the advantages of the water master, and of course, it is also God's beauty, so that it can be so smooth.

More than 20 miles away from Chongming Island, there is a sailor patrolling, and they will report to the island first.

People with a little status on Chongming Island are waiting on the shore to greet them, no matter how they fight openly and secretly on weekdays, and they don't like each other, Zhai Zhe can only obediently obey when he comes here in person.

The warship docked, Zhai Zhe went first, and Zhang Huangyan followed behind.

Wang Zhiren, Zuo Ruo, Zhang Mingzhen and others were all there, followed by a squire who had been picked up from Songjiang Mansion.

Including Wang Zhiren, everyone's respect comes from the bottom of their hearts, unless King Lu is here in person, no one can suppress Zhai Zhe's limelight now.

The group arrived at the Chongming County Ya, put on the incense case, Zhang Huangyan announced the decree, named Wang Zhiren as Wu Ninghou, and assumed the heavy responsibility of recovering Songjiang Mansion. After the ceremony, Zhai Zhe stepped forward to congratulate him, and talked about Ning Shao's old affairs, which was very cordial. Xia Yunyi, Xu Fuyuan and others from several societies are old acquaintances with Zhai Zhe, and when they heard that Chen Zilong was supervising in Hangzhou, they scratched their ears and cheeks excitedly, eager to immediately march to Songjiang and regain the lost territory.

Zuo Ruoyou brought more than 20,000 people to the island, plus Wang Zhiren's 20,000 sailors, and the population of the four islands in Chongming is more than 100,000. Although there are five or six factions of each faction, although they can assist each other in resisting the Qing captives, the soldiers and horses under their command are fighting separately, and their powers are not clear.

The original county commander of Chongming Island, Jing Benche, was in charge of 100,000 people and more than 1,000 soldiers here; There are more than 1,000 pirates under his command, and there are nearly 10,000 refugees attached to him. These two people were originally in a situation of confrontation here, but now there are so many soldiers and horses suddenly pouring in, and they don't even have a place to speak.

In addition to Wang Zhiren's nearly 20,000 Wusong sailors, there was also Shen Tingyang, the former Guozijian Siye who was in charge of Cao Yun, who led more than 100 Cao Yun ships and more than 2,000 people.

Then there are Zhang Mingzhen and Zuo Ruo, two soldiers and horses, Zuo Ruo brought more than 30,000 young and strong people from Songjiang and Jiading to the sea this time.

Zhai Zhe first asked Zuo Ruo to understand the situation of the raid on Songjiang Mansion, and he was amazed and worried in his heart.

Zuo Ruo regretted a little and said: "According to the orders of the adults, the righteous soldiers in Jiading and Kunshan have been evacuated, and now only Jiangyin County is surrounded. The last general did not have enough troops and did not dare to take risks, and Li Chengdong was not so easy to deal with. The Qing army's army in Hangzhou was too close to Songjiang. Bolo's soldiers and horses arrived in Songjiang yesterday, and the people of Songjiang inevitably had to suffer somewhat. ”

Zhai Zhe's face was clouded, and he said: "Keep your head or not, the deadline has passed, and Dolgon will not be merciful." "He dealt with the regent of the Qing Dynasty.

"But the battle situation in Matsue is alive!"

This was his original plan, and now it was carried out in advance, there are advantages and disadvantages, and under the trade-off, it is still more disadvantageous. The strategic intentions were exposed in advance, and the Qing court overestimated the strength of eastern Zhejiang, which would only push itself to the cusp.

Zuo Ruo said excitedly: "With the 30,000 people of Songjiang that I brought back, the deployment of soldiers and horses in Songjiang Mansion will no longer be able to escape our grasp." I see that the Huangpu River is turbulent, and the warships can enter the hinterland of Songjiang Prefecture downstream, and if they can unite with the Taihu Rebel Army, they can threaten Suzhou, Wuxi and other places. ”

This was Zhang Mingzhen's battlefield, and looking at the meaning of Zuo Ruo's words, I really wanted to stay here.

Zhai Zhe twisted his beard and pondered.

Zuo Ruo often wants to make dangerous moves, and he also has the courage of a strong man to break his wrist when he encounters danger, which is the most suitable for this kind of surprise battle, but the bigger he makes trouble in Songjiang, the more dangerous it is in terms of strategy. What's more, if he transfers Zhang Mingzhen away, it will inevitably leave a gap in the hearts of the two, making others think that he is only close to his own family. Moreover, Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Zhiren have old friends, which is convenient for cooperation.

"Zuo Ruo!"

"The last general!"

Zuo Ruo tilted his head and looked at Zhai Zhe, his eyes flashed with a wild light, looking forward to Zhai Zhe's order. If he wants to defeat Li Chengdong, he is in Songjiang.

Seeing his expression, Zhai Zhe ordered to his lips, swallowed it back, and explained carefully:

"Songjiang is in turmoil, do you know that it will come to fruition?"

"Duoduo will inevitably mobilize a large army from Hangzhou to support, which can alleviate the threat of Hangzhou."

"It's all useless!" Zhai Zhe shook his head, "I'm not worried that the Qing Lu will capture Hangzhou, but if we can't defeat the Qing Lu in the field, everything you and I do will be in vain, and we will be besieged if we capture Songjiang City, and even capture Nanjing City, if Azig leads the army south, we will also retreat." ”

"So what?" Left if puzzled.

"The remote land in eastern Zhejiang can't fight against the Qing Dynasty and gather the strength of the whole country! I just want to let the Qing Lu fall into the quagmire of Jiangnan now, and the day of the decisive battle is still far away. ”

Zhai Zhe sighed, he saw that Zuo Ruo, who was six years older than him, was still full of sharpness and energy, and suddenly felt that his heart was already old. When was he, he would never allow the people of Songjiang Mansion who refused to shave to be slaughtered by the Qing captives, if ten years ago, he would definitely turn Songjiang Mansion upside down according to Zuo Ruo's words.

But the result? As a result, he attracted all the attention of the Qing court, and soldiers and horses from all over the country continued to march into Jiangnan. And as long as the Qing capture southern Jiangnan, the flanks of eastern Zhejiang will be threatened, which is more direct than the sea.

If Zhedong puts all its troops and horses on the eastern front, it will be the most stupid strategy.

Zuo Ruo lowered his head.

"Chongming Island is only a partial division, not the main battlefield, the strategic significance of Chongming Island is to contain Li Chengdong, the most important thing is ......"

Zhai Zhe coughed dryly, "The most important thing is that I want to cut off Jiangnan's luck!" ”

The excitement of recovering Hangzhou has passed, and people cannot be carried away by the excitement.
