After half a year of fighting, Guangdong and Fujian provinces were basically recovered, and the fighting also tended to calm down. Last year, in addition to these two places, the Zheng Group also operated the battlefield in South Zhili, where there were first Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, and the Ministry of War.

The Ming army led by Vice Minister Zhang Huangyan entered the Yangtze River in the first month and March of the eighth year of Yongli era, broke through the river defenses, attacked the Qing army along the river, and at the same time received the main force of the southwestern Ming army that might arrive as promised.

Two times later, Rao was stationed in Chongming, and the army was also short of food and grass. For this reason, Zhang Mingzhen first went to Wenzhou to buy food, and then went south to the Zhongzuo Institute to meet with Zheng Chenggong and ask for help. In order to support Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan, they went to South Zhili

In the battle, Zheng Chenggong sent his loyal uncle Chen Hui to lead 5,000 naval divisions and 10,000 land divisions northward, relying on the combat power of this new force to continue to expand the results of the war.

On the sixth day of September, the army arrived at the gate of Shanghai County. The people in the city "some hold on to the stiles to obstruct the government, some wear net scarves, some make lies to confuse the public, and some are afraid of shouting at the government."

Governor Zhou Guozuo quickly led troops to come to the rescue and threatened to massacre the city, otherwise it was very likely that the county would change hands.

After failing to capture the county town of Shanghai, the Ming army did not return. The fleet headed north to Chongming, held a river ceremony on September 26, and prepared to enter the Yangtze River. It was quite popular at the time.

However, as the fleet set off, Chen Hui's flagship raised a banner on Chen Hui's side. This was the status symbol of the commander. Chen Hui's move seemed to be that he regarded himself as the commander. For this reason, Zhang Mingzhen asked Chen Hui to

Hui lowered the banner, but Chen Hui refused. The two men disagreed, so the fleet split at Haotou, and Chen Hui led his troops south.

This time, Chen Hui did not return to Fujian directly. Instead, he wandered in the waters of Zhejiang, staying along the coasts of Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Ningbo. On the other hand, Zhang Minzhen, on the twelfth lunar month, the eve of the Battle of Jiangmen, suddenly led his fleet from Chongming

Set off and enter the Yangtze River. This time we went one step deeper than the previous two times. The fleet arrived at Yanziji outside Nanjing on the 18th of the twelfth lunar month. The majestic Nanjing City and the towering Zhongshan were very close at hand!

"The oars from the Hengjiang Tower are flying high, and the frost and clouds have destroyed the country's prestige.

There are rows of steamers on both sides of the river, and the middle stream is surrounded by iron locks and battles.

After the war, the sun sets at the Shark Cave, and spring arrives at Changfeng Yanziji.

Guiding the rise and fall, I am deeply moved. This place was Wang Ji back then."

In the slightly dark study room of Hongdou Villa in Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture, Qian Qianyi recited this poem, then nodded and praised: "Zhang Cangshui's poems always have a majestic spirit in them, which ordinary Confucian scholars cannot compare to."

"What the shepherd said makes sense. Cang Shui has been in the army for a long time. In the past, he established a stronghold in Siming Mountain, then entered Zhoushan to defend Zhoushan, then fought against the Japanese army, and marched south to the Minhai. It has been many years now."

The person sitting opposite is Huang Zongxi, a scholar from eastern Zhejiang. This man is the son of Huang Zunsu, one of the Seven Gentlemen of Donglin. His father has always been one of the two great think tanks in Donglin along with Wang Wenyan.

Lin Dian will be recorded, and he is Huang Zunsu, the imperial censor of Shandong Province, who is the pioneer of the Sky Star. Such a person, when the eunuch party won a complete victory in the party struggle, and the Donglin sages were thrown into prison in batches, his person

He was killed in prison. When Chongzhen came to the throne, the Donglin Party counterattacked. Huang Zongxi stabbed Xu Xianchun in court, severely beat Cui Yingyuan, and pulled out his beard to sacrifice to his father's spirit. From this, he became known as "Yuyao Huang Filial Son".

Since the Southern Ming Dynasty, Huang Zongxi first had troubles with Ma Shiying and Ruan Dajue in Fushe. After the fall of the Hongguang Dynasty, he participated in the establishment and maintenance of the Lujian Dynasty with the scholars in eastern Zhejiang. Then after the collapse of Master Jiang, Huang Zongxi sold his property and went on his own.

The raised Shizhong Battalion defeated Zhapu and retreated to Xizhang Temple in Siming Mountain. His troops were gathered and burned to death in the temple by the mountain people for harassing the people. However, he was able to escape from this difficulty because he was out on business at the time.

Since then, Huang Zongxi has been involved in going to Japan to beg for teachers, but he remained in a latent state most of the time, secretly collecting intelligence for the Ming army and contacting the gentry, and thus became in contact with Qian Qianyi. Qian Qianyi organized

During the Anti-Qing Dynasty, Huang Zongxi was involved in many things in eastern Zhejiang. The two had a close relationship. Even when Qian Qianyi died of illness, he asked Huang Zongxi to write an inscription on his tomb before he died. However, Qian Qianyi's son asked Huang Zongxi instead.

The trip didn't take place because of someone else's ghostwriting, but Huang Zongxi still wrote a poem mourning Qian Qianyi the next year. The line "Who will I tell you at the end of my heart" refers to the fact that they conspired to fight against the Qing Dynasty in those years, but they failed to do so.

An old story that is not suitable for publicity.

"The fleet arrived at Nanjing and burned and captured Jiangxi grain ships at Zhujiazui in Shangyuan County. This was the closest Wang Shi had been to Nanjing in many years."

"It's a pity that the king master from the southwest still couldn't come."

The fleets of Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan arrived in Nanjing, which greatly shocked the Jiangnan officialdom of the Qing court. For this reason, Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, and the admiral of the Han army in Jiangnan, Guan Zhongzhong, led the army, and they just expelled the Ming army. By the beginning of the first month of the ninth year of Yongli,

, the Ming army has returned to Chongming.

Speaking of which, Qian Qianyi was the mastermind behind these three battles into the Yangtze River. He relied on his master-disciple relationship with Zheng Chenggong to persuade him, and then organized an army for Yao Zhizhuo to assist in the battle. On Huang Zongxi's side, he was active in eastern Zhejiang

To contact Zhang Mingzhen's fleet, Zhang Mingzhen also sent people to land from the rooftop to contact Huang Zongxi in order to build a greater momentum in eastern Zhejiang. As a result, the visitor was captured by the Qing government, and Huang Zongxi was traced according to the map, and he was hiding in Tibet.

Originally, Huang Zongxi was hiding in the mountains at this time. For this reason, he wrote a poem, "Only the word bitter cries, and all the cold food flowers in the deserted villages fall" to express his mood when he took refuge in the deserted villages in the mountains. However, today is different from the past, Fujian and Guangdong

When the great changes in the two provinces came, he had to take the risk to come and see Qian Qianyi, in order to discuss the next step strategy in the face of such a big change in the situation.

The matter of returning to the teacher came to an end, and the two of them just sighed. The current situation has changed drastically, and Fujian is in turmoil. Qian Qianyi got the news very early. Needless to say, he was shocked. The result

Who knew that before this excitement had passed, news of the great victory in Guangdong also came. Both those well-informed people and the officials of the Qing court were all saying in unison that Li Dingguo and Chen Kai were returning to Guangdong.

Division, annihilated the Eight Banners Army of Shang Geng and Zhu Mala in one battle!

"Shepherd, Chen Kai and Chen Jingcheng are really amazing."

Huang Zongxi has been hiding in Tibet recently, and the details of the news are far less than those of Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Southeast Wenzong. It is said that they exchanged information with each other. In fact, in this case, Qian Qianyi understood him more

When I told Huang Zongxi about the situation, Huang Zongxi was amazed several times.

"Lizhou's words are also what I felt when I heard these things. By making false arguments and destroying Fujian's economy and Tatar rule, Damu can directly kick down the entire Fujian. Things here are not over yet.

He took tens of thousands of people to Guangdong, and cooperated with the King of Xining to achieve such a great victory. The two most famous generals in the country today can cooperate with him seamlessly. Such civil servants are more than amazing."

Qian Qianyi let out a long sigh, but he didn't feel tired at all. On the contrary, his face was still rosy, rosy due to excitement.

"In the past few years, the country has finally recovered a bit, and it is no longer like the situation when the Tatars were pushed to the ground and beaten severely when they first entered the customs. I have never seen the King of Xining in person, but Damu has

I have watched them grow up with my own eyes, and now there is Chen Jingcheng. Although he has no fame, he has a rare talent. There is hope for the rejuvenation of the country!"

At this point, I was already in tears. After years of enduring humiliation and burden, I finally saw hope, but Qian Qianyi couldn't help but feel a little bit gloomy.

"Students remember that Shepherd once met Chen Jingcheng?"

"Exactly, in the fifth year of Yongli's reign, he came all the way from Fujian to discuss with me the matters of the Three Catalpa games."

Recalling that old incident, Qian Qianyi seemed to see some clues from it. At that time, Chen Kai's attitude towards the Three Divisions of Liuping was generally positive, but he repeatedly emphasized the need to strengthen the Southeast Ming Army. To be precise, the Zheng family

The strength of the group. Qian Qianyi did exactly that at the time - contacted sources of goods and dumping channels, sold off collections and properties to support military supplies. In his opinion, Chen Kai had selfish motives, and this selfishness was inconsistent with his.

It was a coincidence that gave rise to the basis for cooperation. But looking back now, it seems that Chen Kai had anticipated the failure of the three games of Catalonia, as well as the efforts of Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, which is really surprising.

Puzzling.

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it. I don't know how to predict the future."

What he thought in his mind was just a matter of a moment. There was no trace of it on his face. Qian Qianyi just followed Huang Zongxi's interest and continued: "I have been talking with Chen Jingcheng in detail for several days. His views are worth pondering.

At that time, I was also surprised, surprised that a child could have such a talent. When this son set off to return to Fujian, I also said to Mr. Hedong: This son Chen Kai is by no means a thing in the pond. Sooner or later,

It is going to turn the clouds upside down. Now it seems that it is not setting off a huge wave!"

"The shepherd's eyes are as bright as a torch, and the students admire him."

In today's situation, although the Qing court still controls most of China's provinces, especially the most elite Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is still firmly in the hands of the Qing army. However, the two provinces were recovered in an instant. The Qing court not only

The territory of two provinces was lost, and a large amount of effective forces were lost. The battle situation is no longer one where the Ming army generally defends and occasionally counterattacks, and the Qing army takes the initiative. There may still be some stalemates, but the situation is improving.

, and will be a great encouragement to the national anti-Qing movement.

During the conversation, the two mentioned something about the excitement of the scholars they knew who were eager to support the Ming Dynasty. The more they continued talking, the more they felt that the situation was very good, and it was just a matter of regaining more lost ground.

It was a matter of time. When I was so excited, I even had to ask Liu Rushi, the caretaker of the courtyard, to bring some food and drinks, have a drink and compose a few poems before venting my passion.

The food and drinks were served quickly, and the two of them had a great time drinking together. However, after considering a few glasses of wine, Huang Zongxi couldn't help but mention some things, which aroused Qian Qianyi's deep thoughts.

"Mr. Mu, the year before last, the King of Xining moved to Guangxi and Huguang, always cooperating with His Highness the King of Qin. In the past two years, it seems that they have stopped contacting each other. He wholeheartedly wants to join forces with Guoxing. Even

The attack on Zhaoqing failed last year, and we did not change our plans because of it. We still want to attack Guangdong. At most, we just need to change the route..."

Of course Qian Qianyi understood what Huang Zongxi meant. When Yao Zhizhuo came back, he mentioned to him the contrast between the luxury of the Guiyang Prince's Mansion and the dilapidation of An Longxing. Sun Kewang seemed to have a disobedient heart, and Guo Zhiqi

, Lian Chengbi and others seemed not to pay attention to Li Dingguo at first, but last year, they tried their best to help. Such a change in attitude was no longer as simple as a clue for someone like him who had been involved in party disputes for a long time.

Yes, it was clearly laid out in front of him.

Sun and Li were at odds, so Li Zheng joined forces. In the court, in the army, now it is the Qin vassal and the Li Dingguo faction who loyal to the emperor, and the Zheng group checks and balances each other. If he were in the court, Qian Qianyi might still feel that there is something wrong here

There was room for him to take action, but being in the south of the Yangtze River, he could only feel the worry that internal strife was imminent for the Ming court, which was located in the southwest, and nothing else.

In fact, there is no need to consider how to stand in the team. The problem is that if the current good situation is delayed by internal strife, Qian Qianyi always feels that this will have a big impact on his whitewash. However, Catalpa Ping

The third game was his focus for the rest of his life, and under the current situation, the strategy might still have a chance to work, but the problem lies in the contradiction between the two sides, and the situation of the Yongli court, which is an issue that he can't help but think deeply about.

.

"Perhaps, we can no longer place all our hopes on His Highness, King Qin."

After thinking about it, Qian Qianyi has never been a fool. From this point of view, it is obvious that he has changed a lot. But if you want him to directly say that the three games of Qian Ping will be abolished, it is not realistic, at least for now.

It seems that without Butcher Sun and Butcher Li, Li Dingguo's army went north to Jiangxi, and then went down the river to join Zheng Chenggong. At first glance, it seemed that the chance of winning was better than the previous plan.

"Lizhou, maybe this time, I need to ask my brother to go to Jinhua."

Recently, there was no reason to go to Jinhua. However, during the Battle of Zhoushan, Qian Qianyi asked Huang Zongxi's younger brother Huang Zongyan to go to Jinhua on his behalf to persuade Jinhua's commander-in-chief, Ma Jinbao, anyway. As a result, Ma Jinbao was naturally perfunctory and went to Jinhua.

After the fall of Zhoushan, he ran to Wenzhou in three games and severely kicked Lu Jianguo Chao.

Ma Jinbao was originally a bandit, and he had no loyalty to the Ming court. However, Qian Qianyi was particularly optimistic about him. Huang Zongxi didn't quite understand, but he agreed. But at this time,

What Qian Qianyi was thinking about was more people who seemed to be able to persuade, such as Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, Tian Xiong, the admiral of Zhejiang, Zhang Jie, the commander-in-chief of Dinghai, and so on.
