In 1652, the eighth year of Longwu in the Ming Dynasty and the ninth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty.This year was a year of great changes in the situation in the world, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs for many years, failed to solve the resistance forces in the south, the ruling Dol Roll was assassinated by the opposition forces within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Manchu regime fell into the hands of the young Shunzhi and the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai.In the big chess game of the world game, Dol Roll failed to dominate the world, the Manchu side changed the standard-bearer, and the national policy also changed, from seeking unification, taking a big step back, to dividing the north and the south.This change was an inevitable choice made by the Manchus after successive military defeats.Dolroll insisted on going his own way and insisting on a strategy of unification, and was eventually abandoned by the Manchurian aristocracy and turned to the main peace faction to dominate the Manchu regime.On the side of the Ming Dynasty, after nearly ten years of arduous struggle, it finally gained a firm foothold and began to sound the horn of the counteroffensive.Between the Ming and Qing dynasties, the offensive and defensive momentum gradually reversed.Previously, the Manchu Qing Dynasty wanted to destroy the Ming Dynasty, but now it has changed to defend vested interests, and the Ming Dynasty has changed from struggling to survive to recovering rivers and mountains.All factions within the Ming army seized the opportunity to develop and strengthen their own forces through the war against the Manchus, and prepared for gaining more power and interests in the future.Last year, due to Zhao Ming's containment outside the customs, Zhejiang was given a period of time to recover and develop.During this time, the silk weaving industry in Jiangdong flourished, and Zhejiang's devastated economy was also restored.At the beginning, Zhu flooded Hangzhou with sea water and captured Hangzhou, the Zhejiang system was actually facing tremendous pressure.In the past two years, because of the containment of Donghai Town, Zhejiang has been restored, the plain area of central Zhejiang has been ripe, harvesting millions of stone grain, and the minerals, mulberry fields and tea plantations in western and southern Zhejiang have also brought huge wealth.In the past two years of reserves, Zhu Yihai is absolutely full of soldiers.These are many marshals, occupy the rich land of Zhejiang, and cooperate with Donghai Town to develop maritime trade, and they have all become big guys.With money, food, soldiers, and high morale, the generals of the Zhejiang department have long wanted to seek greater benefits, and there are more territories, all of which want to move and fight a big battle, and everyone is embarrassed to always let Donghai Town die in front.At this time, it happened that the Longwu Dynasty launched a counteroffensive in Chu and Jiangxi, and the people of Zhejiang intended to recover Jinling out of consideration of the overall situation and their own interests.In November, Zhao Ming, a general of the Zhejiang department, returned to Jiangdong, which greatly boosted the spirits of everyone in the Zhejiang department and doubled their confidence in recovering Jinling.Just when Zhao Ming returned to Jiangdong, there was news from Huguang that two or three hundred thousand people from the Longwu court besieged Wuchang for several months, and finally broke through Wuchang, and Kong Youde, the commander of the Qing army in the city, committed suicide, and more than 40,000 Qing troops were all killed.When the news came, the world was shaken, and everyone in Zhejiang was excited, and a sense of urgency was also shrouded in the hearts of Zhu Yihai and many handsome ministers.End of December, Hangzhou.Approaching the New Year, the city of Hangzhou is full of tension.Outside the city, the Zhejiang army camp spread, and on the streets of the city, groups of soldiers drove outward, and carts full of food and military supplies were transported to the military camp outside the city one after another.At this time, a cavalry of several hundred people, surrounded by a general wearing silver armor, and several officials wearing scarlet robes and green robes, entered the city of Hangzhou.Judging from the flag and dress, it was Zhao Dashuai of the East China Sea who came, as well as the chief of the three divisions of the East China Sea, and the staff adjutant.Such a lineup is rare in Hangzhou, attracting people on the side of the street to stop and watch, and there are many discussions, "Hey, it seems to be Zhao Dashuai's people." ”"Which Zhao Dashuai?""
Except for Zhao Dashuai in the East China Sea, which surname Zhao is kind enough to call Zhao Dashuai?"
In the midst of this discussion and watching, there was a sudden sound of hooves in front of the street, and a general was seen galloping towards him with dozens of horses.The cavalry galloped to Zhao Ming and his party, and the young general was Li Yuanyin, who reined in his horse, and immediately bowed to Zhao Ming, and said happily: "The Duke of the Kingdom came without informing him, and he came to greet the Duke of the Kingdom and the officials of the three divisions of the East China Sea!"
”Zhao Ming glanced at Li Yuanyin, in a few years, this young general has become a capable young man, and a smile appeared on his face, "Uncle Yuan, don't be polite, let's go to the palace quickly and meet His Highness." ”At that moment, the two teams of people gathered together and went to Zhu Yihai's palace together.Zhao Ming rode a horse with Li Yuanyin and asked casually, "Uncle Yuan, is your father handsome?"
”Zhao Ming and Li Yuanyin are about the same age, but his status is higher than Li Chengdong, so in front of Li Yuanyin, he considers himself an elder.Li Yuanyin said a little excitedly: "My father has arrived early, Zhang Dashuai, Wu Dashuai, and Fang Guogong have also arrived, so we are waiting for Guogong." ”It seems that Zhu Yihai is indeed preparing to recover Jinling, and the four great kings of the Zhejiang system are gathered, and there must be a big battle.What a glorious thing it is to recover Jinling, Li Yuanyin and others are very looking forward to it and full of excitement.Not long after, the group came to the gate of the palace, and Zhu Yihai, who got the news, had already led many generals and officials to greet him in front of the palace gate."
Haha, the lonely king thought that Boan would wait until the New Year to come, and he didn't want to move so quickly!"
Zhu Yihai was wearing a vermilion dragon robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a crown of gold silk wings on his head, with an extraordinary bearing.Zhao Ming hurriedly turned over and dismounted, threw the reins and whip to Ding Weiyue, and then stepped forward quickly, leading a group of civil and military officers in Donghai Town, and saluting Zhu Yihai, "Wait for the ministers to meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"
”Zhu Yihai hurriedly stepped forward, helped Zhao Ming up, and said with a smile on his face: "Bo'an doesn't have to be polite, all the Qing families are flat!"
”The Longwu court recovered Wuchang, forced Kong Youde's family to death, and killed tens of thousands of Qing troops, which greatly boosted its prestige.In the past two years, except for Zhao Ming's actions, Zhu Yihai did not fight with the Qing army, but focused on restoring Zhejiang, and there was no major move, so his prestige was gradually suppressed by Longwu.Now, seeing the imperial court recovering Wuchang, Zhu Yihai is anxious to recover Nanjing, but although the Zhejiang department has been raising Rui for two years, the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River has also been preparing for two years, relying on Zhu Yihai's strength alone, it is still a little difficult to recover Nanjing, so Zhu Yihai is very happy about Zhao Ming's arrival.Donghai Town has strong combat power, and it is the most capable team in Zhejiang, with Zhao Ming participating in the battle to recover Nanjing, Zhu Yujian is more sure about the recovery of Nanjing.Zhao Ming stood up, "The minister heard that Dolroll is dead, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is in turmoil, and the imperial court has recovered Wuchang, which is a God-given opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to recover Jinling."
With such an opportunity, where can the minister celebrate the New Year in Suzhou, he will naturally rush over non-stop and obey the dispatch of His Royal Highness. ”Zhu Yihai smiled at Zhao Ming's statement, he took Zhao Ming's hand and patted it, "Bo'an is really the pillar of the country, come and come, go in with Gu and say!"
