At the beginning of December, the weather in Jiangnan was unbearably cold and humid, but for the Manchurian rulers, they were more accustomed to the cold winter than in the scorching heat of June and July.There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.Hangzhou City, originally one of the most prosperous cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is now occupied by the Qing army, and the city is depressed and dilapidated.However, with Hong Chengchou ruling Jiangnan, the collapsed economy of the Jiangnan region under the control of the Qing court gradually showed a slight improvement.After the Qing army went south, and after the destruction of the shaving order, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were dilapidated, the population withered, and a large number of people fled, and in the long run, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would inevitably be unable to obtain money and food supplies from Jiangnan, and the finances would not be enough to maintain the Eight Banners, and there were hundreds of thousands of green battalion soldiers to fight, and the Qing court would not be able to maintain the rule of Guannai.At this time, a large number of traitor gentry led by Hong Chengchou appeared and began to clean up the mess for the Manchus, thus solving the embarrassing situation of no one to govern the Manchus.By the end of 1645, after more than half a year of brutal killing, the Qing court ruled that the order of shaving hair and making it easy to obey had been thoroughly implemented.Those who did not want to shave their hair were either killed or fled south, and most of them were left behind to shave their hair, and the shaving of their hair showed that they had succumbed to the obscenity of the Manchus, and such people would basically no longer rebel against the Manchu rule.In this way, most of the people left behind after the purge were obedient people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which reduced the cost of ruling the Qing court and gave Hong Chengchou the opportunity to exert himself.Hong Chengchou spent more than half a year allocating land to the Shunmin, and at the same time stopping the wanton killing of the Qing soldiers, and gradually restored the social order in the Jiangnan area.For a time, the people returned to their hometowns, cleaned up the wasteland, and the merchants began to re-produce and resell goods, and the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang gradually became the important grain tax of the Qing court.Under the influence of Hong Chengchou's policies, many people who fled returned to the city, and the withered city of Hangzhou slowly regained some vitality.In the city of Hangzhou, Duoduo seized a rich man's mansion as his mansion.In the lobby, there were braziers lit everywhere, and the room was very warm, and Duoduo was bare-headed, under the service of two women, sipping fine wine and watching singing and dancing.At this time, Zhang Cunren, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, suddenly walked into the lobby, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and he saluted: "Lord Yu, the slave has something to report!"
”When Duoduo saw Zhang Cunren, he immediately sat up straight, waved his hand, and many women in the lobby retreated one after another."
What's the matter?"
Dordor asked, putting down his glass.Zhang Cunren said, "The slave got a good news, the pseudo-Lu king and the pseudo-Tang king seem to have fallen out." ”Duoduo perked up and asked with interest, "Oh, what's the matter, tell this king about it!"
”Zhang Cunren said with a smile: "In return, Zheng Zhilong sent a group of soldiers and horses to attack Wenzhou, and the puppet king of Lu is transferring troops south, and the two sides may have a conflict." ”As he spoke, Zhang Cunren bowed his hand and suggested: "Lord Wang, if they kill each other, our opportunity will come." ”Duoduo couldn't help but smile on his face, "Barbarians really like to fight in the nest, have they forgotten how the False Fu King was destroyed?"
They're looking for death!
”Duoduo stood up, walked back and forth in the lobby for a few steps, and suddenly waved his hand, "This time is indeed an opportunity, order all departments to prepare, once the war between eastern Zhejiang and Fujian starts, immediately cross the river to attack, first sweep eastern Zhejiang, and then destroy Fujian!"
”"Wow!"
Zhang Cunren saluted, his face excited.Duoduo had no intention of drinking, so he immediately put on his armor, took his sticky hat, put on his coat, and rode to the barracks.…… From Ruan's import, Zhao Ming quickly understood the current situation, King Lu thought that the Longwu court had killed Zhao Ming, and did not agree to the condition of sealing King Lu as the prince, which made the whole of eastern Zhejiang very indignant.After all, Emperor Longwu does not have an advantage in bloodline, Zhu Yujian can be the emperor, and King Lu can also be the emperor.Now the king of Lu is indisputable, but the Longwu court is not even willing to give a prince, that is, the Longwu court wants to monopolize the benefits, so the monarchs and ministers of eastern Zhejiang can only fight.At this time, Zheng Lian sent troops to divide the water pass and attacked Wenzhou Mansion, which completely angered everyone in eastern Zhejiang.Although the Zhejiang soldiers failed to restore Hangzhou, they completely annihilated Li and Tai's 10,000 Qing troops at Jinniuling, including more than 4,000 Eight Banner soldiers, which re-invigorated the morale of the Zhejiang soldiers.The generals of eastern Zhejiang, especially the uncle Zhang Guowei and others, were already dissatisfied with giving up the struggle for the throne, and saw that the Longwu court not only killed the envoy, but also sent troops to attack Wenzhou, and immediately seized the opportunity to persuade King Lu to raise 100,000 Zhejiang soldiers to enter Fujian and compete for the throne.The king's industry is not partial, the Han thieves are not separated, and the Zhejiang soldiers cannot sit in a corner of eastern Zhejiang, which is already the consensus of the monarchs and ministers of eastern Zhejiang.If you only want to hold a corner of eastern Zhejiang, you will be destroyed in the end, and only by developing and strengthening your forces outward can you have a chance to survive and recover your foundation.If Tang and Lu unite, then Zhedong will have a vast rear, which can be regarded as a strong force, but Tang and Lu continue to fight evil, then Zhedong will be on the front line of life and death.Now the Qing army is heavily assembled in the south of the Yangtze River, and sooner or later it will go south, and it will be difficult for the Zhejiang soldiers to win to the north, and there will be an attack by the Longwu court in the rear, which is equivalent to falling into a two-sided attack.In the face of the situation of being flanked from both sides, it is impossible to fight to the north, so if eastern Zhejiang wants to maintain, it can only take advantage of the opportunity when the Qing army is not going south, first fight south, defeat the army of the Longwu court, and occupy Fujian, and then have the strength to resist the Qing army.The monarchs and ministers of eastern Zhejiang, seeing that the Longwu court did not accept the conditions and was unwilling to live in peace with eastern Zhejiang, King Lu was in a hurry, so he decided to send troops to the south, defeat the Zheng coalition army, and take advantage of the situation to attack Fujian.This situation is the last thing Zhao Ming wants to see, once the main force of the Zhejiang army goes south, Duoduo will definitely not let go of the opportunity to reap the benefits.If you don't get it right, it will become a tragedy like Zuo Zhendong's rebellion.If the Zhejiang soldiers or Emperor Longwu are strong enough, then it may be a feasible plan to quickly destroy one side, unify the interior, and integrate the forces, but the key is that neither side is strong enough, and there are Manchus eyeing each other.In Zhao Ming's view, between the Zhejiang soldiers and the Zheng army, no one has an absolute advantage, once the fight starts, it is impossible to distinguish the winner in a short time, and it will only make the Qing army profit.Zhao Ming's expression became serious, and he hurriedly asked, "How is the battle situation now?"
”Ruan Jin said with a smile: "The big marshal is out of the horse, and the natural flag is victorious, the army has already hit Zheng Lian in Feiyun Pass, and I am being ordered to outflank and pursue!"
”Zhao Ming hurriedly told him what happened to him in Fujian, and informed Ruan Jin that Emperor Longwu had canonized His Royal Highness King Lu as the crown prince, and everything was done by Zheng Zhilong in order to sabotage the Tang-Lu alliance.Ruan Jin was confused after hearing this, and couldn't help asking, "Then I still chase Zheng Lian?"
”Zhao Ming slashed with iron, "Chase, why don't you chase, hurt Zheng Lian, and Zheng Zhilong will be honest later." ”At that moment, Ruan Jin continued to lead people to outflank him, while Zhao Ming went directly to Feiyun Pass.Feiyun Pass, which had just experienced a big battle, was full of corpses and scattered weapons, and in the open space outside the wall, there were more than 1,000 Zheng army prisoners squatting.It turned out that Zheng Lian was ordered to attack eastern Zhejiang, intensifying the contradictions between Fujian and Zhejiang, he led the army to raid Wenzhou, thinking that the Zhejiang soldiers were vulnerable, but the lone army went deep and was raided by Zhang Mingzhen, and was defeated and lost, losing three or four thousand people.Zhang Mingzhen was cleaning up the battlefield, and when he heard that Zhao Ming was coming, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked Zhao Ming to come to see him."
Haha~ Boan, I didn't expect Nong to be alive, how did Nong escape?"
Zhang Mingzhen greeted him with a big smile.Zhao Ming bowed from afar and said solemnly: "Dashuai, I want two fast horses, I must see His Royal Highness King Lu quickly!"
