(The rattan camp was omitted in the previous chapter, and it was made up)

The twelfth day of the first month of the eighth year of Shunzhi was a very important day for the Manchu court.

On this day, the then 14-year-old Shunzhi Emperor Aixin Jueluo Fulin announced his pro-government in the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City, promulgated a series of new measures to consolidate the imperial power, and issued an order to dismiss Zhang Xuesheng, who was still staying in Zhejiang and did not enter Fujian, from the post of governor of Fujian, and ordered him to return to Beijing to be idle.

At the same time, the Qing court also transferred the southern general Niu Colu Chen Tai to lead 5,000 Manchurian inlaid imperial banners (no homophonic characters will be harmonious) army south to Zhejiang, and Li Shuotai together to conquer Fujian, ordered the capture of Guangzhou Soon after the king of Pingnan Shang Kexi to attack Fujian, intending to attack the north and south, and recover Fujian Province in one fell swoop.

As soon as the Qing court issued several military orders, Jiangnan began to get busy, Li Shutai, who took over as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, did not wait for Chen Tai, the general of Jingnan, to go south together, but took the first step, and rushed to Zhejiang on fast horses with his attendants, counted the local soldiers and horses in Zhejiang, mobilized food and wages, and sent a large number of scouts to Fujian to spy on the enemy, but Su Yan had already ordered the closure of several passes facing Zhejiang, and the Qing army spies could only cross the mountains.

"Using the Eight Banners of Manchuria, it seems that the little emperor of the Tartars is going to move seriously."

Fuzhou City, knowing that the Qing court was ready to come to suppress him again, Su Yan took the information sent by Jinyiwei and said to Su Ci and the others with a smile.

After several defeats in a row, he lost Fujian Province again, and folded into a Han Army Eight Banners Army, no wonder Emperor Shunzhi was serious, plus he had just been in power, pacifying Fujian was just enough to improve his prestige in the court and stabilize the imperial power.

Su Ci also finished reading the information sent back by Jinyiwei, he frowned slightly, and said: "Marshal, this time the Qing court entered Fujian from the two directions of Zhejiang, Guangdong, one south and one north, and we can still rely on Xianxia Pass, Fenshui Pass and other key points to reject the Qing army in Zhejiang, but the Qing army in Guangdong is not so easy to deal with."

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses under the command of the national surname is ...... I'm afraid that the pressure of the final battle will still fall on our shoulders. Speaking of the back, Su Ci smiled bitterly.

Su Yan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, just bring in the traitors and soldiers who are still gratifying, close the door and fight the dogs, and wait for the Qing army to come to the city of Zhangzhou, and then we will cooperate with the Zheng soldiers and horses to encircle and annihilate the Qing army." ”

"How many soldiers and horses does the marshal want?" Su Ci asked again.

"The four battalions of the Shenji Battalion, the Chinese Military Battalion, the Rattan Battalion and the Xiaocai Battalion can follow me south, although there are only more than 6,000, it is more than enough to fight against the Qing army, in addition, let Su Dingyuan in Tingzhou point two battalions of soldiers and horses, and wait for the Qing army to kill under the city of Zhangzhou, and then go south to cover the back road of the Qing army, and catch turtles in an urn."

After Su Yan finished speaking, he clenched his fists, and his words were full of confidence.

"Since the commander is ready, then the general will not say more." Su Ci said with a smile.

"Before that, I'm going to go to Xiamen first and talk to the country about joining forces to defend against the enemy."

"Isn't the surname of the country in Zhangzhou, go to Xiamen ......"

Su Ci held back again in the middle of his words, he subconsciously glanced at the sachet that Su Yan hung on his waist, and instantly understood his intention to go to Xiamen.

……

Xiamen Island.

Because it is located in southern Fujian, it is less affected by the Xiaoice period, so there is only a little snow on the island, which can only cover a thin layer of snow on the roof of the house, and will soon be stepped on and melted by passers-by when it falls to the ground.

Zheng Chagu stood in the courtyard of the back hall of the Zhangguo Mansion, looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky, stretched out her white palm to catch one of the snowflakes, felt the slight coolness of the palm, and had a little melancholy on her face.

And at this time, a teenager ran over quickly, the boy broke into the yard at once, although he ran slightly panting, but the joy on his face could not be hidden, he looked at Zheng Chagu in the courtyard, and shouted: "Fifth sister, guess who is coming?" ”

Zheng Chagu put down her hand, looked at Zheng Xian, who was still a little reckless, did not answer Zheng Zheng's words, and reprimanded: "Fuquan, why are you so reckless, what kind of system, if the eldest brother is here, you will definitely be scolded." ”

"No, fifth sister, fifth brother-in-law...... Oh no, Mr. Su is here! Zheng said.

"What brother-in-law, don't talk nonsense." Although Zheng Xi immediately reacted and changed her words, she was still listened to by Zheng Chagu, she blushed and sneered, and then asked with some expectation: "General Su, where is he now?" ”

Zheng Xi replied honestly: "Now in the front hall, after Madame learned that he was coming, she went to receive him in person. ”

After speaking, he said as if to take credit: "Fifth sister, I took the opportunity to sneak over to report to you, do you want to give me a reward?" My brother recently fell in love with a ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Chagu untied a money bag from her waist, threw it into Zheng Xi's hand, and walked out of the courtyard in a hurry, while saying, "You can take this money to eat tea, I'll go to the front hall to have a look first." ”

Soon, she was gone, Zheng Zheng looked at the direction she left, pouted, and then sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, untied the money bag expectantly, poured out the money inside, and when he poured it out, his expression suddenly fell, and most of the money bags in this bulging bag were copper plates, so all of them didn't even add up to more than five taels.

Don't be too pitiful!

Zheng Chagu soon came to the living room of the front hall receptionist, raised her hand to stop the greeting of the little maid guarding the door, drove one of the obstructive little maids there, and quietly stuck it next to the door, eavesdropping on the movement inside.

Coincidentally, it happened to talk about her.

"The fifth girl is indeed a good person, my fair lady and gentleman, the matchmaker sent by the kid some time ago should have made it clear what I meant, the kid is willing to marry the fifth girl as his wife, the so-called eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and I hope that the lady will be fulfilled."

Su Yan's smiling voice came out of it and into Zheng Chagu's ears, making her little pink face a little redder.

Dong Yougu also said with a smile: "An Guo doesn't need to worry too much, this marriage, not only the concubine body is agreed, but the lord also agrees very much, An Guo and Wu Niang are in love, and they are a pair of talented women, made in heaven, and the concubine body will naturally not object." ”

"So very good, these are the dowry gifts brought by the kid from Fuzhou, the kid came this time, in addition to talking with the eldest brother, he is going to be hired and courted." After Su Yan finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, put it on the coffee table, pushed it over to Dong Yougu, and said, "This is the list of dowry gifts, and I invite Mrs. to look at it." ”

Dong Yougu didn't pick it up in person, but motioned to the maid behind her to take it, and after the maid took it, she said with a smile: "Anguo, you will live in the mansion for a few days first, the concubine has already ordered someone to cross the sea to go to the Zhangzhou Mansion, please come back, and discuss it after he comes back, how about it?" ”

"That kid is a lot of trouble." Su Yan arched his hand and said.

At this moment, a childish voice suddenly sounded outside the door, asking, "Fifth Aunt, what are you standing here for?" ”
