"Governor of Jiangnan? ……”

Chen Xijia was really stirred up by Tong Guowei's words. He thought that what Tong Guowei said might be one of the six Shangshu, because, the current six Shangshu, in his eyes, there are few talents, and he used to be a household waiter, and he has a lot of political achievements in Shaanxi over the years, and it is absolutely justified to be promoted. And now there doesn't seem to be any struggle for the throne of the prince in the capital, so you don't have to worry about standing on the wrong side or anything if you want to come. However, Tong Guowei told him that he wanted him to be the governor of Jiangnan......

Will you be able to sit in that seat? Chen Xijia has always believed that his ability and knowledge are superior, even if Tong Guowei tells him now that Kangxi wants to promote him to the upper study, he thinks that he will not have stage fright. However, when he took over the post of governor of Jiangnan, he felt that he had no bottom in his heart.

………………

"The forces there are complicated, and just having the identity of an official family can't make much difference...... Not to mention, this may also have a grudge with Mader and his gang. If these people are making trouble behind their backs, it is the emperor who moved the capital to Jiangning, and I am afraid that he will not be able to sit firmly in the land of gold dust of the Six Dynasties! ”

Wang Mingdao was almost retired, and he wanted to go back to his hometown in Yanbei to retire, but Tong Guowei was reluctant to let go of such a resourceful staff, so he bought a courtyard in the capital and gave it to him, in case he needed to inquire from time to time. However, although he received good treatment, Wang Mingdao rarely went to Tong Guowei's mansion to give advice, unless Tong Guowei sent someone to invite. However, when Chen Xijia came to visit, he was still solemn. After hearing the other party's question, he also quickly gave an answer.

"Then the three provinces south of the Yangtze River are so difficult to manage?" Chen Xijia bit his lip and asked the old acquaintance again. Although he knew that the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River were not easy to manage, Wang Mingdao said that even Kangxi might not be able to go, was it too exaggerated?

"Brother Xijia, with your friendship with me. How can they be frightened? Wang Mingdao looked at Chen Xijia's unwilling expression, smiled and said. He and Chen Xijia both followed Suo Etu back then. Chen Xijia is a talent promoted by Suo Etu in the household department, and he has always been Suo Etu's most respected staff...... Although this kind of behavior of changing the court is a bit disgraceful, they can't accompany Suo Etu to the funeral, right? What's more, at that time, Suo Etu was already finished. Neither of them is a traitor! And the same experience also made the two friends a lot. Chen Xijia has been alone all these years, if Wang Mingdao didn't say more good things in front of Tong Guowei, he might not be able to live so well.

"Could it be that Ma Dezhen can't run the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River like an iron bucket?" Chen Xijia asked rhetorically.

"It's not an iron bucket, it's simply a cross-linked''138 Reading Network'." Wang Mingdao sighed, "If it weren't for that, the emperor probably wouldn't have thought of removing this person." ”

"Since the emperor has this thought, if I go, I can have the emperor as my backing...... Back then, Namad was in charge of the three provinces, wasn't it precisely because of the emperor's support that he was able to sit firmly on the governor's seat? "Chen Xijia still wants to be the governor of Jiangnan. Let's not talk about the land that can rule the three provinces. Today's three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Responsible for almost half of the taxes of the Qing Dynasty, if he can sit in the position of governor there, what is the future. You don't have to ask.

"Brother, with your ability, since you have already set up your own stove, why should you take over other people's messes?" Wang Mingdao laughed again, "Everyone knows how good Jiangnan is. Ma De reigned for ten years, and all the world's wealth and goods were in the three provinces south of the Yangtze River, although he did not have a real name, but he often prepared the surrounding provinces, and was already the de facto first governor of the world. In this bit. He went straight to the study, and absolutely no one dared to say a 'no, word.' It's a pity that in recent years, although Jiangnan has produced many talented officials, they have been transferred out because the imperial court is worried that Ma De's power is too strong. Although this made Ma De have a lot less talents, it also made Ma De have no one to defend his position. …… In this way, there is a stalemate.

Merchants from the three provinces south of the Yangtze River gathered. Wealth and goods reach the world, and they can be linked to the overall situation, if they are not sent by people, how can the court afford it? But if you don't send others, Mader's power will become more and more stable, and it will be even more difficult to uproot it in the future......"

"Then does Ma De have bad intentions?" Chen Xijia has already heard a little taste.

Removal? Could it be that the imperial court has already regarded Ma De as an opponent?

"Hehe, I don't know if there is any bad intention. However, if Ma Dejia Yu Zhong and Ferdinand are combined, the strength of these three people is enough to "disturb" the world. This reason is enough to make the emperor feel uneasy! Moreover, recently, there is a Hui businessman association in Zhejiang who dares to call out the government, and the one who took the lead is said to have a good relationship with Ma De. But the cause of this incident is just because the judgment of Zhejiang Zhentai is too heavy, and the subordinate of the businessman who took the lead is sentenced heavily. But how easy is it to solve such a matter with the power of Mad? But he didn't make a move, so he had to make the group of businessmen ...... Is this what a loyal servant should do? Wang Mingdao said with a smile.

"In this way, if I can sit firmly in Jiangnan, wouldn't it be a great achievement?" Chen Xijia said again.

"That's right, it's a big deal. However, brother, Ma De's experience is still there, that is, you can sit on the position of governor of Jiangnan, do you think the emperor will let you have the majesty he has now? Moreover, it is still unknown whether you can sit firmly in Jiangnan...... It's good to sit firmly, but if you can't sit firmly, then the responsibility will not be something that you Chen Xijia can afford alone! Wang Mingdao shook his head and said.

"Then the emperor summoned me back to Beijing this time......" Chen Xijia asked again. Kangxi summoned him back to Beijing, and Tong Guowei revealed the news again, if he didn't have a plan to let him go to Jiangnan, what would be the purpose?

"Now the emperor's mind is getting harder and harder to guess. However, brother, you have talent, and you have already had good political achievements in Shaanxi, based on this, plus you have been a household servant, and you have experience in both the government and the opposition, it is not difficult to get in and out of the future to get in and out of each other! Why bother to get into trouble again? As long as you are a capable minister, you are very popular at any time! …… Therefore, the matter of the governor of Jiangnan, let's just think about it! Wang Mingdao persuaded Chen Xijia again.

"My brother has a point. Tong Xiang also said to me that even if I don't want to be the governor of Jiangnan, I will be promoted as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. Is...... Hahaha......" Chen Xijia smiled to himself and replied.

"Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu? Hehe, it seems that Tong Xiang also knows that this matter cannot be done. can only leave it to the emperor to "" himself. I'm worried in vain! Hahaha......" Wang Mingdao said with a smile.

………………

Yunnan.

Yu Zhong had already personally rushed from Kunming to Ruili on the border, and joined Song Ai, who was chasing the defeated army of Burma, and he brought 10,000 follow-up troops.

Myanmar's climate has three seasons a year, divided into a hot season, a rainy season and a cool season. The hot season is from March to June, the rainy season is from July to October, and the cool season is from November to February. Although the soldiers in the Yunnan-Guizhou area are also in the south. However, many places in Yunnan and Guizhou are located on the plateau, and the area around Kunming is known as the "Spring City", and the climate is far less "harsh" than that of Myanmar. Therefore, attacking Myanmar is the most suitable in the cool season. At this time, the temperature is low and the precipitation is less, which can greatly reduce the unfavorable factors such as inconvenience of marching and warfare and unsuitable water and soil due to climate and other reasons.

However, although Yu Zhong tried his best to set the war in the cool season, it was too late for King Donghu and others to decide. Marched too late. So he didn't have much time to wait for the Burmese army for too long, so he could only launch a counteroffensive. You know, he originally planned to get the Burmese army to help him get rid of most of the toast. Pity. Now it's only about a third. That's pretty much it, though. Since most of the people who were eliminated by the Burmese army were Tusi close to the southern border, as long as he could take the opportunity to grasp the local power, under the "north-south squeezing", those guys in central Yunnan would not be able to turn the sky upside down, and there was no other way out except to obediently accept the "transformation".

While leading the army to support Song Ai, Yu Zhong did not leave some officers and soldiers in various places along the way, and. Along with these officers and soldiers, there were many rogue officers left by him. The Tusi is gone, and the people of all ethnic groups who have been able to return to their homeland have no leaders, so they naturally have to obey the orders of the government. And the officers and soldiers have just driven away the Burmese troops who have seized their homes and killed and plundered them, and in the hearts of those simple people, they naturally regard the officers and soldiers as benefactors. As long as those rogue officials and officers and soldiers do not deliberately oppress the people, Yu Zhong believes that it will not be long. The hearts of the people in southern Yunnan will deviate from their original direction and turn to the government. In order to ensure the success of his plan, Yu Zhong also deliberately sent Tang Xishun and Alinga to Baoshan and Lincang, so that the governor and the admiral were personally responsible for changing the land and returning to the stream, and he handed over all the political affairs of Yunnan to Yang Mingshi.

Although Yang Mingshi is just a political envoy, Tang Xishun will not fight for power and profit, and Alinga has been wooing him in order to confront him before, and it is impossible to lower his face to oppose it at this time.

And after arranging everything in Yunnan. Yu Zhong can also rest assured that he will be aiming at Myanmar.

Due to the fierce counterattack of the officers and troops, the Burmese army retreated quickly. However, after reaching the border, the officers and troops stopped the pursuit and sent emissaries to rebuke the leaders of the Burmese powers. As a result, the guys, believing that the officers and soldiers did not want to cross the border, but just wanted to intimidate them, stopped retreating, and re-erected the Xindi defensive line. However, these people did not know that they had fallen for Yu Zhong's plan again.

Yu Zhong's original plan was to attack and attack fiercely, so that the Burmese army could not breathe, and then take the whole of Burma in one fell swoop. Not long ago, however, he received advice from one of his generals: What is Burma? Although it is now the cool season, how can the humid environment on the Indochina Peninsula be suitable for the long-term use of firearms in this era? Even if it is well preserved, it will inevitably have some restrictions.

Moreover, if the Burmese army is forced to flee now, it will be difficult to use firearms on a large scale in the future. Muskets are better said, and the role of artillery ground will be greatly reduced. Therefore, instead of not finding a place to use it in the future, it is better to have a good fight with "sex" once. Artillery is a weapon of mass destruction, and the shock it gives people when it is fired at one time, I am afraid it will be difficult to forget it again, and if you can experience it twice, you can imagine how much psychological pressure it will form on the generals of the Burmese army. It was precisely because he was reminded of this that Yu Zhong overturned the previous plan and gave a death order to make Yang Tianzong, Zhou Zhong, Song Ai and others, who were fighting happily, stop advancing, but fortify on the border, and made a posture of "peace talks". However, those officers and soldiers of the officers and soldiers who were suddenly pulled the reins could not have imagined, and those officers and men of the Burmese army who could not easily take a breath, could not have imagined that the reason why Yu Zhong stopped the offensive was to fight another tough battle, completely defeat the resistance of the Burmese army, or at least, to eliminate the main force of the Burmese army and lay the foundation for his future military operations.

Even, Yu Zhong has even set a course of action after this battle, first destroy the main force of the Burmese army that dares to fortify in front of him, and then, to the southeast and Yang Tianzong and Zhou Zhongsuo's divisions, join forces, and rush to attack Lashio, an important town in eastern Burma, and then directly attack its capital Ava and take the Taungoo Dynasty. As a result, Burma has lost even its nominal leader, and it will inevitably be difficult to form a resistance force, and Nian Qianyao will also be attacked by sea......

"The jade and jade in Myanmar are famous all over the world, Dashuai, why don't you choose a few pieces for your wife to keep?"

Ruili City is small, and Yu Zhong and Song Ai's nearly 20,000 troops can't live at all, but fortunately, the weather is okay, so most of them are stationed outside the city, and only a few major generals and their subordinates in Yu Zhong can be stationed in the city. At this time, there was a box of jade jade in front of Yu Zhong, and Song Ai, Orge and others next to him were lying there to select. …… This is the spoils of war that the generals below have scooped up on the battlefield, and they are sent in line with the principle of honoring their superiors. However, seeing that Yu Zhong didn't seem to be interested in these precious treasures, Orge couldn't help but ask questions.

"My wife only likes diamonds, and has never been very interested in jade and the like." Yu Zhong did not show how honest and noble he was. After several major battles, everyone who followed him knew that General Yu was actually a very greedy guy, and it was Yu Zhong's greed that made his subordinates all have a strange appetite.

"Marshal, General Yang, they sent someone to escort a few people!" While he was talking, a personal soldier came to report.

"Who? And you have to be escorted to me...... Could it be that they have already caught the king of Donghu? Yu Zhong asked.

"Dashuai, General Yang's people said...... These people are the Tusi sent by the Burmese army to rebel against our dynasty, and among them is that Ma Gyaltsen! The soldier replied.
