Opening his mouth and yawning, Chen Zilong was a little tired.

didn't sleep all night, and won three games of chess against Zhai Zhe, but the general soldier of Ning Shao on the other side still didn't have the idea of letting him go.

Zhai Zhe picked Bai Zi into the chess box, lowered his head and looked at the chessboard that was crisscrossing the horizontal, with a focused expression.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the white son fell on the chessboard, Chen Zilong sighed helplessly in his heart, bowed his waist slightly, and the sunspot followed.

Zhai Zhe's chess skills are still a lot worse than him, except for the first game Zhai Zhe is winning with great strength, he can't figure out the details, and the battle is longer, the other two games are more than half an hour to solve the battle.

The rooster crowed three times, and the eastern sky was white.

In the distance, there was a loud singing of the soldiers left behind in the barracks, day after day, rain or shine.

On the official road from Linshanwei to Dinghaiwei, the war horse stepped on the morning dew, and the riding messenger was lying on the horseback, facing the blood red of the rising sun.

In the fourth game of chess, Zhai Zhe played very slowly, but in Chen Zilong's eyes, there was no difference from the previous games, and there were still flaws to follow.

Suddenly, Zhai Zhe, who had been silent for a night, spoke in a leisurely tone, "Brother Wozi, why do you say that I am here today!" ”

Chen Zilong's hand froze, and the movement of releasing chess slowed down, this question is too difficult to answer, and it is not something that can be said in one or two sentences.

Zhai Zhe had read the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" and "Huangming Jingshiwen Compilation" compiled by him, and knew that Chen Zilong had mountains and rivers in his heart, and he didn't want to get the answer from Chen Zilong's mouth when he asked this question.

"It's hard to put into words."

"I have 40,000 soldiers and horses under my command, can I block the capture, can Brother Wozi regain the hearts of the people for the Ming Dynasty?"

Chen Zilong thought more in his heart, and the chess pieces in his hand were not put down for a long time, and in the end, the ghost made the gods even put them in the wrong place.

"When Ma Shiying was an assistant, Jiangnan Tian was angry and resentful, in my opinion, except for Brother Wozi, it is difficult for anyone in the court to take on this important responsibility."

Single-minded, Chen Zilong almost forgot the chess game in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and said: "Auxiliary by the emperor, Dongyang has the former military department Shangshu Zhang Guowei, Jinhua has the former Fengyang governor Zhu Dadian, Shaoxing has the former auxiliary Fang Fengyuan, I am afraid that my reputation will not be as good." ”

Chen Zilong's disadvantage is that he is too late to be an official, he has been compiling books at home for more than ten years, and now he is not a native of eastern Zhejiang.

"I only believe in you!" Zhai Zhe slapped the chess pieces on the chessboard heavily.

He's playing a big game.

The Ming Dynasty has always used literature to control the military, and no military general has ever been able to enter the cabinet. Although he has the merit of supporting the establishment, if he directly reaches out to enter the court and interferes in the government affairs, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction and vigilance among many civil officials, and Chen Zilong is the most suitable person to enter the cabinet.

Regardless of whether it is eastern Zhejiang or southern Zhili, Jiangnan or Jiangbei, before the reversal of the tide of the battle against the Qing Dynasty, all the forces of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty must be concentrated in one place. The dictatorship of the martial arts, he will soon become a loner, and Zhai Zhe knows that now is not the time for him to step forward.

To put it thoroughly, it is money and food, Chongzhen can't afford to raise a military town, and Hongguang can't afford to raise a military town, so Ma Shiying relies on selling officials to maintain it, whoever is in charge of this family is the target of the public.

This is a ****, Chen Zilong's heart is like a mirror, if he agrees, it will actually be the beginning of the martial arts' interference in court politics.

Working with Zhai Zhe?

Zhai Zhe's moves became faster and faster, Chen Zilong continued to faint one after another, and the originally bright chess game became confusing.

"Your Excellency!"

Fang Jin's voice came from outside the door, if there was no big event, he would not come to disturb Zhai Zhe.

"Come in!"

Fang Jin pushed the door in, bowed down and handed over a secret letter.

Zhai Zhe's fingers trembled and tore open the seal, and a piece of paper fell, "Hangzhou has been grammed!" ”

He really wanted to pretend to be happy and angry like Xie An did when he received the report of the battle in the water, but he couldn't do it.

"Brother Wozi, put this game of chess here first, you can think about what I said first!"

Regardless of the rudeness, Zhai Zhe moved his chair and rushed out of the door in a few steps.

In Chen Zilong's inexplicable surprise, Zhai Zhe's "hahaha" unbridled laughter came from the courtyard.

"The herald ordered Fengqin to lead the army into Hangzhou City, take charge of the garrison of Hangzhou City, and hand over Fuyang and Lin'an to Fang Guoan. Zuo Ruo, Yuan Qizhou and Chen Huwei led the troops and horses of the headquarters to rest for a day, and returned to Guanhaiwei by boat early tomorrow morning, with another important task. ”

"Yes!"

After the sneak attack to take the city of Hangzhou, it was time to prepare to face the counterattack of the Qing captives. When the troops were weak and the new pawns could not confront the Jiangbei soldiers and the Qing prisoners in the field battle, he had to use the fortified city of Hangzhou to wear down the spirit of the Qing prisoners.

Hangzhou is the bridgehead, and eastern Zhejiang is the hinterland, and various materials can be transported into Hangzhou City by the water gate for support.

Taking down Hangzhou, the meaning is too heavy, and there is hope for a dead game of chess, no wonder Zhai Zhe is so excited. Hangzhou is the starting point of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, from which the navy can enter Taihu Lake and radiate to Changzhou, Suzhou and other places. The hinterland of Jiangnan is centered on Taihu Lake, and the periphery of Jiangnan is surrounded by the Yangtze River and the coastline, which are all places where you can take advantage of the water army.

Relying only on a town in eastern Zhejiang is too weak, and the envoy to Fujian should also come back. If Zheng's naval division penetrates deep into the Yangtze River and deters Nanjing and even Jiujiang, the Qing captives can be allowed to take care of one and lose the other, leaving troops everywhere and insufficient troops everywhere.

Of course, it is not so easy to ask the Zheng clan to send troops, and wait for King Lu to be appointed as the supervisor of the country before making plans, and first manage this place in eastern Zhejiang.

All morning, Dinghaiwei was busy, but not preparing for war.

Around noon, more than 20 large ships sailed from the southern sea, and the "Ming" and "Lu" flags waved in the sea breeze.

The shore has long been prepared, sixteen red lacquered drums are arranged on both sides of the road, and the soldiers are dressed in red and hung with colors.

"Welcome King Lu ashore!"

"Bang-bang-bang!" The drums beat to the sky.

The three ships in front of him got out of the way, and the fourth largest sea ship leaned towards the shore, with a young man standing in the bow of the boat, standing with his hands behind his back, and behind him stood a military general with bright armor on his right hand, it was Ning Shao's deputy general Zhang Mingzhen, and then took a step back, Zong Mao held his chest and raised his head, as if he was the one who greeted the soldiers on the shore.

The ships docked, and the soldiers neatly laid out the sampans three feet wide.

Zhang Mingzhen bowed and stretched out his hand, "Please King Lu come ashore!" ”

Zhai Zhe was dressed in armor, led Xiao Zhiyan forward, and knelt on one knee: "Welcome King Lu!" ”

He didn't bring Chen Zilong over, and Chen Zilong didn't insist. The passage a few hours ago made Chen Zilong change his attention. It was not wise to reveal the intimate relationship between the two when King Lu appeared.

King Lu took a few steps ashore, bent down and grabbed his shoulders, and his movements were quite agile.

"Mr. Zhai!"

Zhai Zhe stood up, "The prince has been in Taizhou, but the last general has not been able to go to see him, a capital crime!" "From a close distance, King Lu is young, his body is very strong, his two eyes are protruding outward, the bags under his eyes are hanging downward, he is shaped like a fish bladder, he is smiling, and he walks like a big crab.

King Lu stroked his shoulder and sighed, "General Zhai Bing, the country will be overthrown, and only then will I see loyal ministers." ”

"Please ask King Lu to take a break in the Dinghaiwei Station, and officials from Ningbo Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion will come to greet him in a few days."

Zhang Mingzhen and Zong Mao also got off the ship, followed by the family and servants of King Lu, more than 200 people.

The armor opened the road, blew and beat all the way, and waited until he arrived at the Dinghai Guard, and stayed in the specially vacated General Military Mansion. Ma Gui, the deputy housekeeper of Ning Shaojun Town, was busy and discussed with Zhang Guojun, the brother-in-law of King Lu, and was responsible for receiving various matters.

Zhai Zhe couldn't get out of his voice for a while, took the time to hide in the study, and ordered: "Call Deputy General Zhang over." ”

A moment later, Zhang Mingzhen walked in beaming.

The house was in chaos, and the last game of last night was still in the room.

"Last night, General Zuo captured Hangzhou!"

"What?" Zhang Mingzhen almost jumped up.

Zhai Zhe didn't give him time to continue the surprise, and said solemnly and hurriedly: "Although it is important to support King Dai Lu to supervise the country, the military situation is urgent, and there is no room for the prevarication and delay of those literati in the government. ”

Zhang Mingzhen rubbed his hands tightly, excited like a child who got the New Year's money, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Zhai Zhe.

"The affairs of King Lu's supervision of the country are handed over to those civil ministers, and as a military general, he has to get meritorious services from the battlefield. Adjutant General Zhang, I have a heavy task to hand over to you right now. ”

Zhang Mingzhen was carried away by the news of the capture of Hangzhou, and the most regrettable thing was that he could not participate in this battle in person. Don't say it's him, Zhai Zhe couldn't restrain himself when he received the news, and danced for a long time.

"Your Excellency has a life, just as commanded."

"You immediately lead your troops to Zhoushan Island to contact the naval army to Chongming Island, Gu San Mazi has always been in contact with the defenders there, and nearly 20,000 people of Wusong Water Master Wang Zhiren are also in Chongming. With the order of King Lu as a signboard, you ascend from Songjiang to 6, and join forces with the rebels to harass Songjiang City, and it is best to take down one or two county towns to contain the rear of the Qing captives. ”

Zhang Mingzhen did not answer immediately, but chewed Zhai Zhe's order carefully.

"Deputy General Zhang, the new commander-in-chief of Susong in the Qing Dynasty is Li Chengdong, a subordinate of Gaojie in the north of the Yuanjiang River, who was originally a rare general in my Ming Dynasty, with about 30,000 or 40,000 troops under his command. It's really hard for you to let your troops go into danger. ”

Zhai Zhe made an embarrassed expression, Zhang Mingzhen is not his descendant, so please don't be as good as a general. With Zhang Mingzhen's temper, even if he doesn't want to go, I'm afraid it won't be easy to shirk when he hears this.

"Zhai Zongbing can take Hangzhou, why can't I go to Songjiang!" Zhang Mingzhen was arrogant.

"That's the best, you immediately go out of the camp and gather the soldiers and horses!"

"So fast!" Zhang Mingzhen was not prepared at all.

"The military situation is urgent!" Zhai Zhe instructed in an accentuated tone, "I have only one request for this trip to Songjiang." ”

Zhang Mingzhen stared at him with big round eyes.

"The land can be gained or lost, people must not be trapped, if you let the Qing army surround you, I will treat you as dead." He was direct, but his words were full of concern.

"The last general knows!"

"If you capture the county seat, you can leave your own soldiers to organize the village soldiers to defend, but the army must not fall into death, unless you can take a big city like Songjiang. But after losing Hangzhou, the Qing prisoners must be very vigilant, and if you are not very sure, you had better not take risks. ”

"My lord just asked me to be a partial teacher in Songjiang!" Zhang Mingzhen is a veteran general in the army, and he can understand it at all.

"Exactly!"

Seeing Zhang Mingzhen stride away, Zhai Zhe's index finger unconsciously knocked on the desk with a slight sound.

Zhang Mingzhen is the deputy general of Shipu, and his soldiers and horses are self-contained. He usually helps him a lot in expanding the army and silver, because he values Zhang Mingzhen is indeed a talent, and his loyalty to Daming is not in doubt.

Zhang Mingzhen has stayed in Ningshao for nearly ten years, and has a good relationship with the local gentry and Haoqiang, and now Ningshao's soldiers and horses are arranged on the periphery, and Zhang Mingzhen certainly can't stay in the hinterland.
