Chapter 305: Wood is the Forest
It was the end of December, and it was also the coldest season, and the soldiers from the south had experienced the power of the nine cold days in the north for the first time.
What is it called freezing in the sky? Very simple, the ground is frozen and cracked, the bare skin in the cold makes people unable to hold on, even if wearing thick cotton clothes, there will still be a cold and piercing feeling, in the wild for a long time will be numb by the feeling of freezing, not only the hands and feet are numb and slow to react, that is, the whole shijie will feel numb, this is the Ming winter during the Xiaoice River period.
The climate is really cold, but in this incomparably cold, Zhou Huchen's subordinates, including many Ming army soldiers, have not relaxed at all, these soldiers are constantly harassing Jiannu everywhere, Tianjin, Bazhou, Baoding, and the Great Wall of Yanqing Prefecture can see the shadow of frequent contact between these soldiers and Jiannu. This action has been going on for a long time, and Zhou Huchen also gave this winter action a different slogan; "Exercise to survive the winter".
The soldiers who are busy in the field have to endure the severe cold, the current situation is very good, there is no danger overall, Shi Kefa, Zhu Dadian and Ye Yinzhi, who are in charge of the overall situation, spend the winter in the river, and Zhou Huchen is also comfortable in Jinghai County waiting for this harsh winter to pass as soon as possible.
In fact, Zhou Huchen is still very busy, and he has to pay attention to the variables of the battle situation at all times; Keep the soldiers vigilant; to deal with the news and things sent from Zhenjiang and Huai'an; Be responsible for handling all kinds of messages sent by the meticulous work; I also have to keep in touch with the court and family in Nanjing; Another important thing is to pay attention to the situation of the pregnant princess, and also to communicate with Wuxi's little cousin, these things are very complicated, but the extremely favorable situation of the war makes Zhou Huchen happy.
In addition to those concerns, Zhou Huchen is alive and well, and now, Zhou Huchen is holding a letter from Wuxi and enjoying the beauty of his care. Caring for each other, there is no doubt that person is happy in his heart all the time, and Zhou Huchen is in a good mood. After thinking about it for a long time, he was going to come up with a love letter, a love letter that transcended the times to surprise his little cousin.
Zhou Huchen pondered and brewed, such a love letter is not difficult for him, the difficulty is not to let the little beauty see it and cry.
"Dashuai, there is a filial old man visiting outside."
Mei Haode's mood was interrupted by the pro-soldiers, and Zhou Huchen raised his head helplessly: "Master Xiaolian is a showman, right?" "In this era, filial piety is a kind of folk honorific title, and it is a manifestation of the people's admiration for scholars.
"Hui Dashuai, he is a very young talent, this is a thorn."
The famous thorn is exquisite. is still bronzing, it seems that this show should have a good identity.
"Nanjing Guozijian. Zheng Damu. There are only a few words, which are not conventional, because there is no place of origin, Zhou Huchen looked at the exquisite and strange famous thorn in his hand, and he had no impression of this person at all.
"Let him come in and see me." There are many people who will speculate or drill camps during this period, and the so-called trend is like this, especially the local powerful gentry and ordinary scholars need to find capital to climb up or settle down, and these people are beneficial to Zhou Huchen's subjugation of the locality. He didn't mind seeing these people.
"Xiaosheng Zheng Damu meets Dashuai." This show is a gift when you enter the door.
He was indeed very young, and the young man named Zheng Damu was in his twenties, with a medium build, although he was wearing a brocade cotton robe that was slightly bloated. But it can't hide the rare sturdiness of this young scholar, with a Chinese face, hanging gallbladder nose, and very handsome. But what surprised Zhou Huchen was the eyes of this young man after raising his head.
Shine brightly! This is a pair of eyes that Zhou Huchen rarely sees in this era, such eyes show confidence and mean a strong heart.
"Sit!"
Very nice young man! Vigorous. With a kind of self-confidence, Zhou Huchen faintly looked forward to it, which one is this? It seems that I have never heard of this person, and in Zhou Huchen's memory, there seems to be no such person as Zheng Damu in history, but it is difficult to be a figure buried by history?
The young Xiucai smiled, sat down unceremoniously, and then spoke: "The student is a disciple of Master Qian, and he has come all the way to visit Dashuai today. ”
It turned out to be a student of Qian Qianyi, a scholar of the university, and it seems that he is from Donglin, but now he is not famous, and he is estimated to belong to a person who was buried by the changes of the original historical era. And the thousands of miles show that this person is from a distant place, and this handsome talent should be from Fujian.
At this time, Zhou Huchen's personal soldiers sent tea sets and put them on the table, and then retreated. Zhou Huchen lifted the teapot with his own hands, this is unacceptable, how can he let the world-famous Zhou Huchen pour the tea by himself, no matter the status is not suitable, the young Xiucai hurriedly got up: "Dashuai, you are too polite, Xiaosheng will come by himself, come by himself!" ”
"Since it is a student of Bachelor Qian, he is not an outsider, even if he has anything, as long as Ben Shuai can do it, he will definitely take care of it." Zhou Huchen unceremoniously let this Xiucai take the teapot in his hand, and then asked straight to the point.
After making tea and setting it up for Zhou Huchen, Zheng Damu sat upright: "Dashuai, Xiaosheng is from the Zheng family in Fujian, and I came today to specially ask Dashuai to give Zheng's Fujian army a chance to attack Jiannu, and also ask Dashuai to understand the heart of Fujian soldiers to serve the country." ”
Sure enough, it was thousands of miles away, it turned out to be a person from the Zheng family in Fujian, it seems that this Zheng Damu is very important, it should be the general town of Fujian, the descendants and nephews of Zheng Zhilong of Nan'anbo, and the navy of Fujian seems to have seen the slenderness of victory, this is to ask Zhou Huchen for a chance to fight.
"What do you mean?"
"Yes, this is exactly what Uncle meant, please be sympathetic to the heart of the Fujian soldiers."
"Wood is a forest, and Xiucai is a single name and a forest character?" Zhou Huchen pondered for a while, he suddenly woke up, can he be such a master, is this young talent Zheng Sen? Otherwise, who can be such a master?
"The student is Zheng Sen, who was entrusted by the Fujian soldiers to visit the marshal."
It's Zheng Sen, Zheng Chenggong! Zheng Chenggong's character is bright, his name is Damu, and his nickname is Fusong. This Zheng Damu's name was given to him by Qian Qianyi after he worshiped under Qian Qianyi. Zhou Huchen knew that Zheng Chenggong was Zheng Sen, but he didn't know that Zheng Chenggong was Zheng Damu, and the name Zheng Chenggong was not awarded now, because he was given the surname by the emperor when he fought against the Qing army in Fujian, and later Emperor Longwu gave Zheng Sen the name Zhu Chenggong, which is also the origin of Zheng Chenggong's surname.
His father Zheng Zhilong, and his mother's name is Tagawa. After the Qing army entered the Central Plains and went down to the south of the Yangtze River, Zheng Zhilong, who dominated the sea, suddenly changed from a sea dragon to an insect. He surrendered incrediblely. But his son, Zheng Chenggong, raised the banner and became a staunch national resistant. Zheng Chenggong's history is highly evaluated, and Gao has its own high reasons, whether it is successful or not, no matter what military and political ability is, but no one can deny Zheng Chenggong's unswerving concept of resisting the Qing Dynasty and defending the orthodoxy of China, is this not enough?
Due to the rise of Zhou Huchen, the current Zheng Chenggong may not be able to become Zhu Chenggong, and the current Zheng Sen's reputation is not prominent, just an ordinary national prisoner.
Very good at talking. The posture is very upright, the positioning of Zhou Huchen is very accurate, there is no title, and there is no title to the horse, the title of handsome is very in line with Zheng Sen's identity, because he is the head town of Fujian, the son of Zheng Zhilong, Nananbo, which is equivalent to a subordinate title.
Delivered to your door!
Zhou Huchen has mixed feelings! It can be said that it is; The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back. The man is in the dim light!
"It turned out that Zheng Gongzi had been admired for a long time! I don't know how Zheng Gongzi needs to fight? Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhou Huchen grinned hard and didn't let himself laugh.
"You're welcome! How dare a student use the title of Childe in front of you! The students are just asking for the Fujian soldiers to fight, and as for how to fight, it is naturally up to you to decide. No matter how hard the battle is, please be polite to the marshal, despite the arrangement, the Fujian soldiers will certainly live up to the trust of the marshal. This means that Zhou Huchen has agreed, and Fujian's navy has been idle for too long. The battle situation was so powerful, Zheng Sen was tantamount to winning an opportunity for Fujian's navy, and Zheng Sen hurriedly responded. And the response was not rude.
This is no longer the era when Zheng Sen can convince the public, but Zheng Sen's leadership is still faintly revealed, and there is no vanity under his fame! Zhou Huchen had to sigh in his heart.
"There is a sea jihua in Ming Chun, I wonder if Zheng Gongzi is willing to cooperate with the commander's sailors?" Of course, Zheng Chenggong can believe that Zhou Huchen revealed his Jihua directly.
"It is incumbent on the students to shirk, the dragon and the phoenix among the handsome people, it is really atmospheric! Mori is willing to go! Zheng Sen looked surprised, he couldn't have imagined that this legendary and boundless Zhou Huchen was so easy to speak.
Zhou Huchen finally laughed, he smiled like a flower: "Since you are visiting, you will make friends with friends, Brother Damu is older, and the younger brother is willing to be commensurate with brothers!" Another day, worship the Lingzun and Lingtang"
Jun's smile is like a sunny day!
Zheng Sen never imagined that Zhou Huchen, who was famous for his dominance and battles, was so easy to talk to, and he wanted to be friends with himself, and this worship of Ling Zun and Ling Tang was tantamount to becoming a brother of the opposite sex with him.
Immediately dizzy, Zheng Sen, a national hero in history, was completely stunned with Zhou Huchen's identity and status, or did he meet for the first time, Zhou Huchen Weishenme treated me like this? !
Zheng Sen's ally is too important to Zhou Huchen, and the important Zhou Huchen always wants to find an opportunity to contact Zheng Zhilong in Fujian for a relationship, but unfortunately he doesn't have the time and energy, but he didn't expect Zheng Sen to send it to the door himself.
The historical Nanming is not that Fujian's naval army has no combat effectiveness, but that they don't want to fight, so they retreat to Fujian without a fight, and the Fujian soldiers may also have been secretly instructed by Zheng Zhilong, and there is a greasy existence. This may be a fog of history, I don't know if Zheng Zhilong has reached some kind of tacit agreement with the Qing army in advance, but in any case, this fog Zhou Huchen can't get rid of. Now, Zheng Sen has appeared, and this opportunity has made Zhou Huchen more excited than words.
It was a time of chaos like this, full of betrayals and killings, and at the same time, those staunch supporters of Huaxia had been abiding by their heart's persistence. Zhou Huchen believes that Zheng Sen is one of them, and he belongs to the most determined one, and he can become a brother with Zheng Sen, how far can Zhou Huchen's ideal be in his heart?
The trendsetters of the times are not willing to be lonely, that is Zhou Huchen's ideal, and the ideal in Zhou Huchen's heart has been hidden from time to time
Although the Qing army was extremely dispersed and had a huge impact on their combat effectiveness, no one can deny that the Qing army had their own pride. The Ming army's riot war has not stopped, the Qing army seized the weaker defects of the Ming army near Baoding, and at the end of the lunar month when the New Year was about to be celebrated, the Qing army suddenly fought with He Tengjiao.
He Tengjiao was defeated again, but the defeat was not as embarrassing as last time, and he was not defeated, but the loss was relatively large. And the Qing army, which has been extremely aggrieved, has undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief, boosted the morale of its own army, and added a touch of hope to this obscure New Year.
Unlike the New Year of the common people, the New Year in the army is to add some haode food, nothing more.
The first year of Hongguang passed in the light snow, the cracks in the ice seemed to be slowly disappearing, the climate finally showed a hint of warming, and the soldiers who had been galloping in the field finally felt a trace of spring. (To be continued......)
