Chapter 66 Chongming Hero Club

Looking at Gu Yanwu who was standing at the pier, Qian Mo said, "Brother Ning has worked hard, how is the situation here?"

Gu Yanwu said: "Except for Zheng Cai from Fujian and Huang Binqing from Zhoushan who did not come, most of the generals who resisted the Qing Dynasty along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian have arrived, and I have visited them one by one. Everyone admires the governor. "

Qian Mo said: "Youdao is short-handed, so naturally they won't say anything about me, and they don't know what they think in their hearts."

"What is the attitude of His Highness Jian Guo and Ding Xihou?"

Gu Yanwu said: "In the name of the governor, my subordinates privately donated 5000 taels of silver to His Highness Jian Guo, and His Highness Jian Guo is very satisfied."

"Praise the governor for selflessly supporting Chongming's army to prepare food and grass under extremely difficult circumstances, and even beat the Qing army in Jiaxing and Jinshanwei. It is really the pillar of the country."

"I also sent 5000 taels to the Marquis of Dingxi. Lord Hou is also very grateful to the governor for supporting the military resources, and invited him to his house to talk about it."

Qian Mo said: "Let's go to see His Highness Jian Guo first. There is nothing on this island that can be hidden from people. It is not good for the ministers to connect with each other privately in advance. It is not good for His Highness to hear it."

"By the way, Yang Wenqi didn't do anything behind his back, did he?"

Gu Yanwu said: "He is just a small person in Chongming, and he can't make any big waves for the time being!"

Lu Wang Zhu Yihai is currently living in the mansion of Yuantu National Treasure, and Qian Mo went to see him overnight.

Although it is said that Lu Wang Zhu Yihai and Longwu Emperor Zhu Yujian fought each other in the early stage, which accelerated the collapse of Nanming.However, Zhu Yihai still resolutely resisted the Qing army after his family was captured by the Qing army. Even though he was beaten and had almost no place to stand, he remained steadfast and tried several times to make a comeback and fight the Qing army.

At this time, Zhu Yihai was only 30 years old, and the ups and downs of his life in the past few years made his pampered face full of vicissitudes, making him look a bit old-fashioned.

Qian Mo said: "The minister paid his respects to His Highness Jian Guo, there is really an urgent military report, otherwise the minister would not dare to disturb His Highness's rest late at night."

King Lu said: "This king has long heard of the name 'Jiangnan Prodigy'. Although you and I have never met, we have been friends for a long time."

"The former Fangui Department has provided much support to Chongming. This king is very pleased. It is an example for all the ministers not to know the truth!"

"I don't know if there is any military report?"

Qian Mo said: "The humble officials are highly promoted and reused by His Royal Highness Jian Guo. Naturally, His Royal Highness is the only one to look after him. A little military resources and food are nothing to worry about."

"Your Highness, please honor my father so that he can leave his name in history, and rebuild Qian Moen. Even if I die, I can't repay Your Highness's great kindness in case."

"Taking the liberty of disturbing His Highness late at night, there is really great news that I want to tell His Highness!"

King Lu asked with great interest: "What's the good news, please come quickly?"

Qian Mo said: "Jin Shenghuan, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangxi admiral of the Qing army, conquered most of Jiangxi in order to curry favor with the Manchurian Tartars. Last August, he asked the Qing court to grant him the power to 'restrain civil and military affairs' and 'act cheaply' in Jiangxi."

"But it was rejected by the Qing court and ordered to negotiate with the governor of Jiangxi in case of any major expropriation and suppression, and to obey Hong Chengchou."

"This Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren took the opportunity to loot a large amount of property in Jiangxi. Zhang Yutian, the governor of Jiangxi, and Dong Xuecheng, the governor of Jiangxi, have repeatedly extorted and extorted, and now the two sides have been treated like fire and water."

"According to the information obtained by Weichen's subordinates, Wan Anji used his title to ask Jin Shenghuan to fight against the Qing Dynasty many times before the Longwu Dynasty Huang Daozhou. Although Jin Shenghuan did not agree, he was quite moved."

"Now Jiangxi governor Zhang Yutian and inspector Dong Xuecheng have failed in extortion. They are collecting evidence of Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren's enlightenment. The two kings and kings are already preparing to start a riot. Within half a month at most, Jiangxi will definitely be in chaos."

King Lu was also very excited after hearing this, and hurriedly asked: "This matter is no small matter, is the information reliable?"

Qian Mo said: "This matter is absolutely true and I ordered people to inquire many times."

"God blesses me, Daming. I hope His Highness Jian Guo will make plans early, so don't let this opportunity pass by!"

Lu Wang said three times: "Good! Good! Good!"

So overnight he ordered Zhang Mingzhen, Marquis of Dingxi, Xiong Rulin, a scholar, Qian Sule, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Huangyan, the royal censor of Youqin, to come to meet.

Qian Mo understood that these people were Zhu Yihai's core team, and at this time Qian Mo also successfully entered the core circle of King Lu.

These people had already received Qian Mo's "New Year's gift" in advance, and they were naturally close to Qian Mo a lot. Seeing that King Lu had drawn Qian Mo into the inner circle, they all showed great enthusiasm.

The people gathered now are all heroes of the Southern Ming Dynasty who fought against the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that apart from Zheng Chenggong, the celebrities who fought against the Qing Dynasty in southeast Fujian and Zhejiang have almost gathered at this time.

Perhaps the most inconspicuous among them is Qian Mo, the misnamed Governor Su Song.

Although the lowest official position among these people is Zhang Huangyan, the censor of Youqian Capital, but the person Qian Mo values ​​most is Zhang Cangshui, who is both civil and military.

It was written by Zhang Huangyan in the style of Xuan, named Cangshui.Han nationality, born in Yin County, Zhejiang Province (now Ningbo, Zhejiang Province), Confucian general and poet in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

During the Chongzhen period, he was appointed as an official to the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Southern Ming Dynasty.In the second year of Shunzhi (the first year of Hongguang in the Nanming Dynasty, 1645), after Nanjing fell, he joined forces with Qian Sule and others to fight against the Qing Dynasty.Later, Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, contacted the peasant army of the thirteen families in Kuidong, and cooperated with Zheng Chenggong and Li Changxiang. He personally led the troops to more than 20 cities in Anhui, and persisted in the struggle against the Qing Dynasty for nearly 1664 years.In the third year of Kangxi ([-]), with the successive deaths of Emperor Yongli, King Jianguo Lu, Zheng Chenggong and others, Zhang Huangyan saw that the general situation was over, so he disbanded the rebel army on Xuanao (ào) Island in Nantian (now south of Xiangshan, Zhejiang) and lived in seclusion. .He was captured that year and was later killed in Hangzhou. Before he died, he wrote a poem "Poem of Jue Ming".His posthumous title is Zhonglie.

Zhang Huangyan, together with Yue Fei and Yu Qian, is known as the "Three Heroes of the West Lake". How can Qian Mo not yearn for heroes who can be compared with Yue Fei and Yu Qian?

But at this time, Zhang Huangyan had just experienced the storm at sea last year. Seeing that he was doing nothing in Zhoushan, he plunged into Siming Mountain and organized a rebel army there to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

His Highness Jian Guo summoned them late at night, and everyone thought that something serious had happened. After hearing the news that Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren were about to raise their troops in Jiangxi, they were equally shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time.

University scholar Xiong Rulin said excitedly: "This is really the protection of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. Once Jin Shenghuan turns around, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River will change drastically, and we can take advantage of the situation to regain the lost ground!"

Zhang Mingzhen also took the opportunity to say: "Now that Jiangnan is about to change dramatically, His Highness Jian Guo should not take the risk of going south to Fujian. He should sit in Chongming, first take the two prefectures of Su and Song, and then try to recover Nanjing, so as to restore my great Ming foundation!"

"Recover Nanjing and restore the foundation of Ming Dynasty." King Lu repeated Zhang Mingzhen's words in his mind.

So he said: "From this point of view, it is really not suitable for the king to go south to Fujian at this time, and he should stay in Chongming to pursue a great cause!"

At this time, Zhang Huangyan questioned Qian Mo, asking: "Nanchang is far away from Taihu Lake, how can Governor Qian know everything about Jiangxi?"

Qian Mo was also prepared for this question, saying: "My subordinate's workshop wants to make iron and cast cannons. I heard that Mr. Song Yingxing is an expert in this field, so I sent people to Nanchang Mansion to look for it."

"Unexpectedly, Master Song didn't find it, but he inquired about Jin Shenghuan's affairs. After finding out, Hou Te sent people to infiltrate Jin Shenghuan's mansion to keep spying. It has been more than two months now. There will be no mistakes. Jiangxi will be in chaos within half a month!"

At this time, Zhang Huangyan said apologetically: "It's just that I can't trust Governor Qian, it's just that this matter is not trivial, so I should be careful, and I hope I don't know and I will blame it!"

Qian Mo replied: "This matter is no small matter, brother Cang Shui should be more cautious, how could Qian Mo blame you."

At this time, King Lu said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How should we act next? I hope you can share your thoughts?"

Zhang Mingzhen said: "Once there is an incident in Jiangxi, the Qing government will definitely mobilize the Eight Banners from the north to go south. However, there is a time difference during this period. If we can seize the opportunity to capture Susong first and then Nanjing, we can take advantage of the navy's advantage." Separating the southeast half of the wall is so promising."

Hearing Zhang Mingzhen's proposal, Qian Mo couldn't help shaking his head.I thought that if I act like this, I am afraid that I will not even be able to hold a piece of territory in the end, and I will fold all the soldiers and horses in my hand.

Originally, when Jin Shenghuan started an incident, the Qing government must first dispatch troops from Nanjing and Hangzhou to Jiangxi to encircle and suppress.As long as you endure for a while, when the Qing army and Jin Shenghuan are in a stalemate in Nanchang, it will be easy to send troops to attack again.

You are short of time, and you are in a hurry to get ahead, aren't you going to attract the firepower of the Qing army for Jin Shenghuan?

Qian Mo remembered that Jin Shenghuan had persisted in Nanchang for seven or eight months in history. If the food in the city had not run out, he should have continued to persist.

It seems that although Zhang Mingzhen is full of arrogance, his strategic level is really limited.This strategy of dividing the southeastern half sounds aggressive, but it is actually completely unfeasible.

At this time, King Lu said: "Dingxi Hou is really arrogant. I don't know Governor Su Song and was the first to hear the news. I must have a countermeasure in mind. Why don't you tell me?"

In fact, Qian Mo didn't want to make such a move, so as not to offend Zhang Mingzhen.But at this time, since he had been named by the leader, he had to express his thoughts.

Qian Mo said: "Looking at the situation in Jiangxi, the two civil servants, Governor Zhang Yutian and Governor Dong Xuecheng, are absolutely no match for the two warlords, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren."

"Mu thought that Jin Shenghuan would be able to win most of Jiangxi in a short period of time, causing great momentum."

"Everyone knows that there are three most important places in Jiangxi. The first is Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi, and the other is Jiujiang to the north of Nanchang. If you control Jiujiang, you will control the waterway of the Yangtze River." "The last one is Southern Jiangxi. Ganzhou, the seat of the governor, is extremely important because it is the throat linking the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong. Moreover, the city itself is strong and surrounded by water on three sides, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"Jin Shenghuan and the others took Nanchang and Jiujiang easily, but the governor of Southern Jiangxi, Liu Wuyuan, will definitely stick to it. I am afraid that Jin Shenghuan will choose to attack Ganzhou first to solve his worries, and then attack Wuchang or Nanjing to expand his influence."

Zhang Huangyan said: "The ignorant analysis is not unreasonable. Jin Shenghuan is indeed likely to attack Ganzhou first. After all, King Ning's rebellion in Nanchang during the Zhengde period was stolen by Wang Yangming in Ganzhou. Jin Shenghuan cannot be unprepared."

Zhang Mingzhen said: "In this way, Jin Shenghuan will not be able to go north immediately to cooperate with us in capturing Nanjing. Can we send someone to contact Jin Shenghuan to attack Nanjing together?"

"The governor of Southern Jiangxi, Liu Wuyuan, has less than 10,000 men. Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren and the others have at least [-]+ troops. It will not take a few days to take Ganzhou. Maybe our envoys have already taken Ganzhou before they arrive in Nanchang."

Qian Mo understood that what Zhang Mingzhen said was actually reasonable, after all, who would have thought that in history Jin Shenghuan's 20 troops could not win Ganzhou with only 6 troops.

Not only did Jin Shenghuan fail to win Ganzhou, but anyway, Li Chengdong in Guangdong led his troops northward to support Jin Shenghuan, who was also detained in Ganzhou. This small city of Ganzhou will become Nanming's dream-shattered place.

So Qian Mo could only find excuses from himself.

Qian Mo said: "We can't predict the time when Jin Shenghuan will attack Ganzhou. Naturally, we can send someone to contact him to attack Nanjing together."

"However, the Qing army stationed [-] elite troops in the two prefectures of Su and Song. Even if some of them were sent away to guard against Jin Shenghuan, I'm afraid we would not be able to take Su Song down."

"After all, I, Master Chongming, is very close at hand. No matter how stupid Ma Guozhu is, it is impossible to take away all the main force of Su Song's Qing army, let us capture Su Song and threaten Nanjing."

"If I were Ma Guozhu, at most I would deploy a few thousand troops from Su Song to strengthen the defense of Nanjing, and then wait for the Qing army in Huaibei Xuzhou to go south. After the main force of the Eight Banners in the north goes south, I will go to Jiangxi to destroy Jin Shenghuan."

"We will attack in the Susong area in advance. I am afraid that the Eight Banners going south will send out part of their troops to attack us. We will not be able to occupy Susong either."

At this time Zhang Mingzhen said: "We can't stand still and watch the Qing army go to besiege Jiangxi, right?"

At this time, everyone's eyes seemed to light up. This is indeed a good way.But at this moment, no one dared to follow suit. This kind of thing can only be felt, not expressed in words.

We can't just say that we decided to see the death of the friendly army first, and then take the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Qian Mo decided to break the embarrassment by himself.

So he said: "It is naturally impossible to hold back the troops. Wouldn't it be a missed opportunity?"

"Although the troops in the Susong area are strong, the Qing army in Huzhou is quite empty. As soon as reinforcements from Hangzhou are dispatched to Jiangxi, my Susong Governor's Mansion will immediately raise troops in Huzhou to support Jin Shenghuan."

At this time, King Lu asked with concern: "If you don't know your men, there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses. Is it possible to capture Huzhou?"

At this time, Qian Mo said aggrievedly: "I have only 5000 subordinates in the Su Song Governor's Mansion, and I am not absolutely sure of capturing Huzhou."

"But at this golden opportunity, Qian Mo can't just sit back and watch the friendly army being encircled and suppressed without doing anything, so he has to give it a try."

"If we can successfully occupy Huzhou, we will definitely be able to mobilize Su Song's soldiers and horses to support them. Maybe there will be opportunities for Su Song's two prefectures."

"Even if the Qing army mobilizes heavy troops to besiege in the end, Qian Mo can still retreat to Tianmu Mountain or return to Taihu Lake to continue fighting against the Qing, and the Qing army will fight to the end!"

At this time, everyone cast admiring glances at Qian Mo.

Zhang Mingzhen even said: "Governor Qian is a role model for my generation. Don't worry, my Chongming Ming army will never let you fight alone. It will definitely restrain Su Songqing's army and prevent them from going south to support Huzhou."

Zhang Huangyan also said: "My Ming army in Siming Mountain will also be dispatched to contain the Qing army in the direction of Zhejiang and prevent them from supporting Huzhou."

At this time, Qian Mo said: "Dingxi Hou only needs to dispatch the navy to cruise around Wusong, Zhenjiang, and Nanjing. As long as the navy fires two artillery pieces outside the city of Nanjing, I believe the Qing army must be terrified and dare not act rashly. "
