On September 18, the elderly Huang Zongxi arrived at Lugang, Dongning, and Zheng Kezhang personally led the civil and military forces to greet him. (To read the latest chapter of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wรจn Aishang Novel Network) Seeing the full clothes of the Han people, Huang Zongxi and more than 20 disciples who accompanied him wept bitterly, Zheng Kezhang went to comfort him, and arranged for officials and doctors.
On September 24, Huang Zongxi, who had been recuperating for several days, was transported to Dongning by carriage, and Zheng Kezang, who had arrived in advance, accompanied him to meet Zheng Jianguo. On the Yinluan Hall of the Jianguo Mansion, Zheng Jianguo conferred on Huang Zongxi the title of Zhengyi on the grounds that Huang Zongxi had appointed the left deputy capital Yushi, and awarded him the Wenxun of Zizhi Yin. Huang Zongxi repeatedly bowed his resignation, but Zheng Jianguo did not allow it, and at this time, Zheng Kezhang admonished Huang Zongxi to recuperate in old age, so he awarded the honorary title of the young master of the prince of the second grade.
On September 25, Zheng Kezhang gave Huang Zongxi's mansion in the name of the Ming Dynasty to recruit the generals, and a forest of mountains and forests for him and his disciples to continue to write works. On the same day, he was awarded the honorary title of the Great Sacrificial Wine of Guozijian, and more than 600 Dongning prisoners went to the door of Huang's new house to greet him. When Huang Zongxi's car appeared in the new house, the prisoners shouted in unison to pay homage to the "mountain chief" in the standard Nanzhili official dialect, and the etiquette was almost to the extreme.
On September 26, Zheng Kezhang heard that Huang Zongxi was not adapted to the hot climate of Dongning and that his appetite had decreased since entering Dongning, so he ordered the supply of ice cubes to Huangfu every day
Looking at the children running in the courtyard, Feng Lianniang, who was caressing her slightly bulging lower abdomen, glanced at Zheng Kezang in a variety of ways, and was skeptical about Zheng Kezang's courtesy to Huang Zongxi, Feng Lianniang, who was the person next to the pillow, was half-convinced: "Lord, what kind of character is this Mr. Lizhou, is it worth going to such a long time?" โ
"Mr. Lizhou is the only surviving master of the literary world today, and he is nostalgic for his homeland and does not want to serve the Tartars. Of course, Zheng Kezhang is just paying respect, and Zheng Kezhang scoffs at some of Huang Zongxi's ideas in the "Mingyi Interview Record", and although some of them, such as the parliament (note: see the "School" chapter), do not cause Zheng Kezang to oppose it, it is impossible for Zheng Kezhang to implement it now. "Besides, Mr. Lizhou is already in his old age, and his life is not eternal, so it is not a big deal to be too respectful."
Of course, Zheng Kezhang still has something to say, on the one hand, Huang Zongxi is an iconic figure, and his standing can enhance the orthodox position of the Ming Zheng regime and the Qing court, on the other hand, Zheng Jun suppressed the rebellious gentry in Jiangnan, and there is also a comparative example to show that Zheng Jun's actions are not aimed at Shilin and Confucianism, so there is this huge scene.
"Okay, don't talk about Mr. Lizhou," Zheng Kezhang pointed to Feng Lianniang's stomach. "What did the Imperial Doctor say?"
Referring to the unborn child in her belly, a glimmer of light appeared on Feng Lianniang's face: "The imperial doctor said that the fetal position is still very positive, but this time it is the first child, so you should be more cautious." โ
Zheng Kezhang nodded, among his wives and concubines, Chen Xianqiao has two sons and a daughter, Xie Ziling has a son, Tong Chunniang and Fang Yuniang each have two daughters, and even the Li family, who entered the door last, has a daughter, but Feng Lianniang and Geng Tang'er have no heirs. However, Geng Tang'er was because Zheng Kezang took pity on her young, so Cheng Huan paid attention from time to time, and only Feng Lianniang was not pregnant for some reasons before. Feng Lianniang was also sad and cried for a while, but now everything has changed with the advent of this child.
"Isn't that miserable?" Zheng Kezhang joked in the woman's ear. "The night is long, where do you let Lone go to sleep."
How many years have been husband and wife, of course Feng Lianniang knew that Zheng Kezhang was playing tricks, but she still couldn't help but give Zheng Kezhang a white eye, but the white eye was almost like a flattering eye.
Zheng Kezhang laughed, and then stood up: "Baoguan and Zhenguan are enlightened on the first day today, go and take a look, come over later, okay, don't hang oil bottles on your mouth"
While Zheng Kezhang was enjoying peace in Dongning, the turmoil on the mainland was still continuing.
On September 25, under the pressure of the Qing troops from all walks of life, the righteous army in western Jiangxi turned to the northeast to cross the Yangtze River, and captured Huangmei and Susong all the way into Anhui.
However, it was precisely because Xiong Xin finally chose to march into the Dabie Mountains that led to the great division of the Ganxi Righteous Army. A part of the rebels who were unwilling to leave their hometown then seized the road and went south, returning to Yangxin through Yingshan, Huangzhou and other places, while the other rebel army who was unwilling to Gou An continued to march north through Huoshan, Lu'an, and Luzhou to break into Huaishang, and the main force of the rebel army that continued to carry the banner of "Zhu Sanzi" in the Dabie Mountains also moved to the junction of Henan, Hubei and Anhui provinces.
Some people say that the Liukou is one of the fundamental reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, this statement is actually somewhat reasonable, because the righteous army or the anti-thieves, they were originally farmers, small handicraftsmen, and now they are separated from the land and industry, and they themselves do not produce, not only do not produce but also destroy the production of the areas they pass through, and the more terrible since ancient times are thieves who have passed through the army and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers who kill the red eyes will destroy the production and life of the region more than the rebels, and the officers and soldiers are to be paid, where does the salary come from? Naturally, it was transferred to other areas where there was no war, so that the lives of people in other parts of the country were also dragged down.
Now the Qing court also encountered the same trouble in the Ming season, and did not dare to slack off, so the Qing court once again issued an order to mobilize the green battalion of Hunan Province and Guangdong Province to assist the green battalion of Jiangxi Province to continue to block and pursue the southern return of the righteous army, and at the same time mobilize the green battalion of Fujian Province to Quzhou to deal with the offensive of the Zheng army, and then transfer the Shouchun Town, which originally went south, back to the original defense and coordinate the town of southern Anhui and Guide to suppress the righteous army in Huaisi in the north, as for the main force of the righteous army that was retreating in the Dabie Mountains, it called the green camp of Henan Province Nanyang Town and the green camp of Hubei Province to encircle and annihilate, and for the emptiness of Henan Province, It also dropped the Liqiao Battalion, Yijun Battalion, Lutang Battalion, Huaping Battalion, Anding Battalion, Longde Battalion, Xifeng Battalion, Pizhou Battalion, Changwu Battalion, Qingyang Battalion, Jingzhou Battalion and other departments to Luoxi to listen to the use.
Just when the Qing court thought it was foolproof, the Han Liu-organized organizations in Guangdong instigated anti-Qing groups such as the Tiandi Society, the Qiankun Society, and the White Crane Sect to rise up in northern Guangdong, southern Hunan, southwestern Hunan, and eastern Guangxi.
On November 19, representatives of the Hunan and Guangdong Guiyi Rebels gathered in Lianzhou, on the border of the three provinces, and recommended Du Yutian, a great tycoon in Guidong (recommended by book friends squatting in the corner of the wall), as the supervisor, but because the interests of all parties could not be reconciled, the rebels were finally unable to act together, and the various departments went their own way, although they caused more chaos to the Qing army, but the weak rebel army was unable to resist the Qing army, and could only continue to wander and be trapped by regimental training in various places
As of 20 November, the total strength of the Zheng army in eastern Zhejiang had doubled, and more than 15,000 households of the people had been relocated to the islands of Zhoushan, of which more than half would be moved to Taiwan, and the rest would be retained on the islands of Daqushan and Daishan. In order to reduce the transportation pressure for Dongning in the future
However, due to the turmoil caused by the war and the large-scale migration of the Zheng army, the autumn grain harvest in Shaoxing and Ningbo was not enough to support the long-term war of 40,000 Zheng troops, and the grain reserves in Dongning also showed a sharp decline, so the Zheng army was forced to launch an attack on Hangzhou. However, the Qing army from all over the country gathered in the city of Hangzhou, and the Zheng army failed to break through the city defense for three days, in this case, Hong Gongzhu immediately withdrew across the Qianjiang River, and only used the Zhoushan detachment and a small land division to monitor the enemy in Hangzhou, Quzhou, and Shengxian respectively, and the main force quickly withdrew eastward, and after a short rest in the Ningbo area, it went south to attack Taizhou.
The Qing army concentrated more than 5,000 people in the three towns of Huangyan, Haimen, and Wenzhou to defend Ninghai, and Funing Town, Luying, Fujian, and Jianning Town, and hurriedly went to southern Zhejiang to help in the war.
At this time, among the veterans of the Zheng army, who had been fighting for many months, began to have a feeling of longing for returning, and Zheng Kezhang was worried that Hong Gongzhu's long-term control of the army would lead to some kind of unfavorable situation, so after learning that the Qing army in Fujian Province had appeared in Quzhou, Zheng Kezhang ordered the Zheng army to start withdrawing from the mainland on November 28.
Of course, the retreat of the Zheng army could not be concealed from the ears and eyes of the Qing army, but due to the barrier of the mountains, the information obtained by the Qing army on the southern front was not easy to convey to the Qing army on the northern line, and the Qing army in Fujian Province, which entered Zhejiang on both roads, could not judge whether the withdrawal of the Zheng army was a trap.
On the ninth day of December, Wu Shu led the advance troops of the Zuowu Guard Division, the Zuo Yongwei Division, and the Fourth Regiment of the Hailongxiang Division to Changguo Island.
On December 11, after occupying Dongyang, Yiwu, and Pujiang, the Qing army successively occupied Xiaoshan and Zhuji counties and arrived at the empty Shaoxing City, but due to the news that the Zheng army was infested along the Songnan coast, the Qing army on the northern front, which was ready to return at any time, did not dare to act rashly for a while, and could only wait for the arrival of Tingzhou Town, and the two towns of Funing and Jianning, which found that the crisis in Taizhou had been resolved, also retreated first in order to prevent the Zheng army from possible moves along the coast of Fujian. Fenghua and Ningbo Fucheng for a short period of time.
On December 25, the Qing army in northern Zhejiang, which had joined forces in Tingzhou Town, transferred back a part of its troops to Hangzhou to ensure that the Zheng army would not re-land in northern Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu, and the main force continued to march eastward, recovering the two cities of Yuyao and Cixi before the year, but the New Year was coming, and the Qing army's high-level leaders could not coerce the troops to advance, so the 29th year of Kangxi was drawn to the symbol of rest.
