Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Zhai Zhe needs a period of peace, he needs to equip the army with enough bird guns and armor, and he needs to prepare enough military salaries for his soldiers.
He needs time, and he needs silver.
The Qing garrison in Yangzhou put pressure on Jiangnan, but it was exactly what he needed. Neither Zhu Dadian nor Emperor Longwu dared to offend the Zhai family and the Zheng family, who controlled Zhang's army.
The harvest of cleaning up the family property of the Qing officials is not small, but Zhai Zhe's real opponent is the literati of the Ming Dynasty, all the literati. Of course not now, at least he will not be able to free his hands until Qingyu is unable to threaten the hinterland of Jiangnan.
Like a hunter throwing a spear at a ferocious beast, he raided more than three hundred squires with lightning speed, which was only a tentative attack on the ignorant. Those people were only his sacrifices, and at the same time they were the supply of his strength.
Zheng Zhilong was indifferent to the affairs of Nanjing Chengsheng, and he was waiting for the year to pass and Zhai Zhe fulfill his promise.
On the first quarter of the moon, the moonlight is bright.
In the waterway of the Yangtze River, a patrol boat swims every few miles.
Danyang Camp.
The one-armed Ji Hong appeared outside the camp like a ghost, and Fang went in and out of the camp to greet him.
Most of the generals in the army knew that Ji Hong, the existence of everyone, was like a dragon that could not see the tail and only appeared in the most critical place. He's a legend and always shows up where it counts
"Commander Ji!"
Ji Hong nodded slightly, and walked behind Fang Jin with his back hand.
In addition to Xiao Zhiyan, Zuo Ruo and Feng Qin and other old people, even characters like Fang Guoan were polite when they saw Fang Jin, Ji Hong treated Fang Jin as if he were his own soldiers, but Fang Jin didn't dare to have a little disrespectful thoughts. The taste of walking in front of Ji Hong was really uncomfortable, Fang Jin asked himself if he had a good feeling in his heart, but he still felt cold on his back.
If it was a trivial matter, Ji Hong didn't need to come to the camp to meet Zhai Zhe in person.
The tent was dotted with torches, but the inside was not much brighter than the outside.
In dim light, it is good to talk about shady things.
Ji Hong bowed and bowed, and said, "General, Wang Yi has replied!" ”
"How?" Zhai Zhe instantly came to his senses.
"The Qing Dynasty was acting in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the people were full of grievances, Jiang Pai was willing to raise troops against the Qing, but he never made up his mind."
"Well, a good thing!"
"Jiang Ji left Wang Yi behind, and when he asked for troops, the adults could send troops to the Northern Expedition to respond." Ji Hong is just stating the news, what exactly will be done, and it is up to Zhai Zhe to decide.
"What about Mongolia?"
Ji Hong shook his head, "Wang Yi wrote that the Mongols were frightened by the Han people's collapse for thousands of miles, and if they could not drive the Qing captives away from the Central Plains, Chahar did not believe that the Han people still had the strength to form an alliance with them. ”
"I didn't expect that after I left the grassland, Ezhe's courage became smaller!" Zhai Zhe laughed. Speaking of things on the grassland, the hardships and hardships of the past have now become memories worth remembering.
"You let Wang Yi reply to Jiang Pai and let him prepare secretly, now is not the time to raise troops, at least wait until next year."
Good steel should be used on the blade, Shanxi Datong is on the right side of Beijing City, if you can do something, it will directly threaten the safety of Beijing City, and it is a place that the Qing court must save. Jiang Jian was the elder brother he once worshipped, but that person's words were not necessarily trustworthy.
"Yes!" Ji Hong gave up his hand, and when he left, he casually revealed a sentence, "The Fan family also sent someone to Hangzhou!" ”
"Where?"
"I went to Hangzhou to find the sect supervisor first, and it seems that I met my wife."
Ji Hong replied very carefully, not only related to the general's inner room, but also related to Zong Mao.
"This Fan Yongdou, can't you just find me?"
When Ji Hong left, it was still Fang Jin who sent him out of the camp, and the command of the patrol soldier came from a distance. In fact, he prefers to live here, living in the shadows for a long time, and especially misses the days of living in the sun. The dark camp is hard work, but also a technical job, the more you know, the more fear in your heart, it is far better to enter with a white knife on the battlefield and come out with a red knife.
Two days after Ji Hong left, Zhai Zhe assigned military affairs to Fengqin and Zuo Ruo, and returned to Hangzhou Mansion by himself.
All over the south of the Yangtze River, the guards of the military town posted notices everywhere that the Pinglu General's Mansion would hold an examination to recruit staff, Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi served as the chief examiners, Zong Mao participated in it, and Zhai Zhe chose this time to return to Hangzhou with other intentions.
When he first arrived in Hangzhou, Zhai Zhe did not even enter Hangzhou City, but quietly hid into the house by the West Lake.
I haven't seen my family for four months.
When he left, he was the chief soldier of Ning Shao, and when he returned, he was crowned the king and paid homage to the general.
The family greeted them outside the manor, and Fan Yi stood at the front, dignified in appearance. Ulan snickered at Zhai Zhe behind him, not at all like a woman in her thirties, but like a girl who hadn't had enough fun.
Zhai Zhe is very willing to see such a Ulan, he risked his life to marry back to Ulan, just to give her the joy she wants today.
"Sir!"
With Van Yi here, Ulan didn't have a chance to speak. She has been in Daming for so many years, and she has a clearer understanding of the difference between the identity of the main room and the concubine.
She really wanted to step forward to give Zhai Zhe a big congratulations, but the Han people were already subtle and beautiful.
From the grassland, she saw Zhai Zhe fighting with the Qing Dynasty, and this victory was unprecedented. When she heard about the Qing Dynasty's implementation of the shaving order, she even understood why Zhai Zhe had to fight to the death with the Qing Dynasty in the grassland.
Six-year-old Zhai Tianxing couldn't care so much at all, and opened his arms and cheered: "Daddy is back!" ”
There is no difference at home, Zhai Tianjian's height has grown taller again, and Zhai Tianxing is still so naughty and active.
The location of Zhai's house is excellent, no matter spring, autumn, winter or summer, West Lake is like a beautiful woman, and what kind of clothes she wears will be beautiful and moving.
Shortly after dinner, Fan Yi looked for an opportunity to invite Zhai Zhe into the room.
She wanted to tell Zhai Zhe the news, "Big brother sent someone to find me!" ”
Zhai Zhe's demeanor showed that he already knew, "Is the eldest brother okay?" ”
"The eldest brother said that since you defeated Duoduo and recovered Jiangnan, the life of the Jin merchants has been very difficult. Hearing that the Qing court might make a move against the Fan family and the Zhai family, the Zhai family was already preparing to flee into Jiangnan. ”
"My brother?" Zhai Zhe remembered that stiff face, "That's also the Zhai family." ”
Things are not as simple as Fan Yi said, after Zhai Zhe made great achievements in Jiangnan, according to Dolgon's temper, the Zhai family and the Fan family of the Eight Families in Dongkou are likely to be implicated. After Fan Yongdou and Zhai Tang got the news as soon as possible, they immediately sent people to Jiangnan.
No matter how much you do for outsiders, you will always be a slave, and only by doing things for your own family can you become a master. Can the Zhai family and the Fan family still be separated? If Zhai Zhe had any hope of winning the world, only a fool would follow behind the Jurchens.
Zhai Zhe is now a world-famous general of Pinglu, Fan Yongdou doesn't know that the divided Ming Dynasty will change in that direction, but Zhai Zhe must be a force to be reckoned with.
Besides, in the short term, the Central Plains is in constant turmoil, the Mongols still have to drink tea, Huguang and Sichuan are in the midst of war, and only Jiangnan and Fujian are stable.
