Chapter 67
Seeing that Qian Mo was willing to be the first bird, Zhu Yihai was very satisfied.

After all, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan are the ones who can really listen to Zhu Yihai's mobilization. Most of the other warlords, large and small, listen to the instructions and not to the propaganda.

In particular, Zheng Cai from Fujian is even more stubborn, trying to hold him hostage and order the various ministries of the Lu faction.

And Huang Binqing from Zhoushan directly ignored himself as an old minister of Longwu.

Subordinates like Qian Mo who can not only donate money, food, and military resources, but also offer suggestions, and who dare to take the initiative to put themselves in danger, are really rare.

It's not in vain for him to win over Qian Mo with many rewards.

Seeing King Lu's satisfied expression, Qian Mo took the opportunity to say: "This time His Highness summoned me, I was eager to come to Chongming, but I couldn't bring the donated materials with the ship. I have ordered people to prepare 5000 stones of grain and 500 pairs of cotton Armor, as well as 1000 bolts of fine cotton cloth, 100 altars of fine Jinlingchun wine to show off your heart, and troublesome Dingxihou to send a fleet to ship it.”

The king of Lu was in a good mood, so he said: "Qian Aiqing is deeply attached to Daming, and can be an example for all the ministers. The supervisory country has changed Qian Mo as the governor of Suhu, and supervises everything in the Susonghu Jiasi Mansion, as a reward!"

Qian Mo immediately thanked him a thousand times to show his loyalty.

Everyone around also congratulated, Qian Mo's trip this time was worthwhile.

After leaving Jian Guo's mansion, Zhang Mingzhen called Zhang Huangyan to gather in his mansion together on the grounds of congratulating Qian Mo on being awarded the title.

Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan have always been close comrades-in-arms, and they are also the most staunch supporters of King Lu Zhu Yihai.

In history, after Zhang Mingzhen died, Zhang Huangyan directly took charge of Zhang Mingzhen's old department and cooperated with Zheng Chenggong.

Now counting Qian Mo, these three people can be said to be the real power faction who are really in charge of the army under King Lu.

After all, although Fujian's Zheng Cai is strong, King Lu can't command him at all.

At this time, Zhang Mingzhen said: "Although Chongming is located in a dangerous location, it is an isolated island after all, and it is not easy to obtain supplies. Thanks to the continuous help of ignorance."

Qian Mo said: "I copied Tianjiazhuang in Jiaxing Mansion. Although I got some money and food supplies, it was just a drop in the bucket."

"It's a pity that most of the 500 million taels of silver sank in the Yangtze River before, otherwise it wouldn't be so clumsy at this moment."

Zhang Huangyan said: "After hearing about Bushi's plan, I admire Bushi very much, but unfortunately, God has not fulfilled people's wishes. Now my Master Wang can occupy Chongming and threaten Nanjing. The situation is also quite good."

"It's just that if you don't know how to attack Huzhou in the future, I'm afraid the chances of winning are not great?"

Qian Mo said: "Our troops attacked Huzhou this time. It is not difficult to take down the Huzhou capital, but it is as difficult as heaven to occupy it for a long time."

Zhang Mingzhen also sighed: "We have raised troops in Zhejiang for many years, and now we only occupy some mountainous areas and islands, and we still do not have a stable foundation."

"I don't know if this attack on Huzhou is going to plunder before retreating into Tianmu Mountain?"

Qian Mo said: "If the Qing army concentrates heavily to encircle and suppress, I will take the initiative to retreat into Tianmu Mountain and use the fort built on Tianmu Mountain to consume the Qing army. If I can kill the Qing army in large numbers, it will not be difficult to regain Huzhou."

"In this way, the attention of the Qing army will be attracted to Huzhou by me. There will be an opportunity in Taizhou in eastern Zhejiang. The place we really want to seize this time is actually Taizhou!"

At this moment, both Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan's eyes brightened.

They said almost in unison: "This plan is wonderful!"

The base of the King Lu family is actually in eastern Zhejiang, especially in Taizhou and Ningbo.

Most of Zhang Mingzhen's soldiers and horses were also recruited in the eastern Zhejiang area. In history, Zhang Mingzhen successively captured Changguowei and Jiantiaosuo under the jurisdiction of Taizhou Prefecture and then welcomed King Lu to eastern Zhejiang.

Now that Su Song and Jiangxi have repeatedly mobilized troops from Zhejiang, and with Qian Mo attacking Huzhou, the Qing army in Zhejiang must be further evacuated.

Moreover, the Qing army in Fujian lost cities and land again and again, and the Qing army had no troops at all to support the eastern Zhejiang area. This was an excellent opportunity for Zhang Mingzhen to reoccupy eastern Zhejiang.

Zhang Huangyan said: "At that time, the Marquis of Dingxi will first send troops to Changguowei, and our Siming Mountain Ming Army will definitely cooperate. We will conquer Linhai in one fell swoop, and it will not be difficult to seize Taizhou."

Qian Mo also added: "The land of eastern Zhejiang is the foundation of my master Wang, and it is far easier to obtain than the land of Su Song."

"After capturing Taizhou and Wenzhou, it is almost connected to the chassis of northern Fujian, and our army has more room for maneuver."

"Waiting for the navy in Dingxi, you only need to go deep into the vicinity of Nanjing. Ma Guozhu will definitely not dare to send Su Song's troops south to aid Zhejiang. Even if they go south, I will hold them back in Huzhou and buy you a few months to stabilize eastern Zhejiang."

"I have a lot of reliable businessmen here. If Dingxihou needs to purchase military supplies and food, they can help!"

Tianjiazhuang produced a lot of supplies. Zhang Mingzhen got 35 taels of silver from Yang Wenqi before, so he should have some silver in his hands. Naturally, Qian Mo had to find a way to get back the money, otherwise he would not be able to bear it if he kept donating!

Zhang Mingzhen also said that he happened to need a large amount of military supplies here, and the two sides hit it off.

After formulating the strategy for capturing Eastern Zhejiang, the three of them also chatted very well, showing a sense of sympathy for each other.

Qian Mo took the opportunity to call the two "brothers" to get closer to each other.

The three of them drank a lot of wine before they dispersed, and each went back to rest.

Early the next morning, Qian Mo bid farewell to Queen Lu and left Chongming Island. He returned to Taihu Lake and prepared to seize Huzhou.

At this time, Nanchang City is undercurrents.

Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren, Jiangxi Governor Zhang Yutian, and Jiangxi Governor Dong Xuecheng have also reached the point of life and death.

Jin Shenghuan, courtesy name Hufu, was born in Yulin, Shaanxi. He was nicknamed "Yidousu" when he revolted in northern Shaanxi during the reign of Chongzhen. He had more than 1 subordinates at the time. He later surrendered to Zuo Liangyu, a general of the Ming Dynasty, and won the trust of Zuo Liangyu. , said in the history books: "The 48th Battalion of the Liangyu Department, Shenghuan is the leader."

Jin Shenghuan followed Zuo Liangyu in the South and North Wars, made his own efforts and contributions to wipe out the peasant army and maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and was finally promoted to the general officer.

Before and after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Jin Shenghuan followed Zuo Liangyu to station in Wuchang.In the first year of Hongguang (1645), Li Zicheng's Dashun army was chased by the Qing army and was forced to retreat to Hubei.Zuo Liangyu didn't dare to confront Dashun's army, so on the pretext that Ma Shiying and others were traitors in the court, he raised troops "on the side of the Qing emperor" and attacked Nanjing City.

However, on the way, Zuo Liangyu suddenly passed away.Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty sent Huang Degong to face Zuo Liangyu's army, and fought with Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Menggeng. Zuo Menggeng was defeated and forced to stop advancing.

At this time, the Qing army went south, Nanjing City was breached, Emperor Hongguang escaped secretly and was arrested again, and the small court of Hongguang was destroyed.

Zuo Menggeng did not dare to fight against the Manchu army, so he had to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to surrender without a fight.Jin Shenghuan also followed the general to surrender to the Qing army.

Prince Azige of the Qing Dynasty was afraid that Zuo Menggeng would relapse after he came to the Qing Dynasty, so he was worried, so he relieved him of his military power and asked him to go to Beijing to meet Emperor Shunzhi.

Jin Shenghuan thought that after entering Beijing, he would lose his military power, so he offered to lead his troops to collect Jiangxi and other places for the Qing Dynasty, which was approved by Prince Azig.

In order to please the Qing court, Jin Shenghuan led his subordinates to attack Jiangxi, falsely claiming that the 20 main force of the Eight Banners would arrive soon, and all parts of Jiangxi surrendered one after another.

After occupying Nanchang, Jin Shenghuan was awarded the post of commander-in-chief of Jiangxi by the Qing court to guard Nanchang.

After Li Zicheng was defeated and killed, Wang Deren followed the Chuangjun general Bai Wang to the Qing Dynasty, was awarded the post of Jiangxi Deputy Chief Soldier, and was sent to Nanchang.

Jin Shenghuan and Jiangxi General Soldier Wang Tizhong extorted and blackmailed the common people and squires in Nanchang, and seized a huge amount of wealth, but they did not share the spoils equally, which led to conflicts.

The cunning Jin Shenghuan knew that the number of troops in the king's body was greater than his own, and he would suffer a loss if he directly attacked, so he tried his best to win over his deputy Wang Deren, making him stand on the same front as himself.

Wang Deren is a native of Mizhi, Shaanxi. He followed the "Chuang Wang" Li Zicheng's uprising in his early years and was nicknamed "Wang Zamao".

After the two conspired, they took advantage of the timing of the Qing government's hair-shaving order to trap and kill Wang Tizhong in an attempt to incorporate his troops.

Some generals under Wang Tizhong's command were unwilling to be reconciled to the death of the main general, and fought against Jin Shenghuan's troops, but they soon failed under Wang Deren's surrender.

In addition to getting part of the soldiers and horses in the king's body, Wang Deren also got the property he looted, and was also blackmailed by Zhang Yutian.

Once, Zhang Yutian sent someone to ask Wang Deren for 30 taels of military pay. Wang Deren said angrily: "I went to Beijing and forced Emperor Chongzhen to death. Don't you know that you dare to ask me for money? I don't have any money, but I can give you sticks." You!"

After finishing speaking, he beat the sent man thirty sticks, and then said to him: "Go back and tell Zhang Yutian that this is 30 taels of military pay!"

Zhang Yutian almost vomited blood, so he sent people to secretly collect black materials about Jin and Wang, and prepared to hand them over to the court.

And Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren were not idle, they had been secretly discussing countermeasures.

To tell the truth, Jin Shenghuan took great pains to pacify Jiangxi. He personally led the troops out and suffered multiple stab wounds.

Under the unified command of Jin Shenghuan, the Jiangxi Qing army went down to thirteen prefectures including Jianchang, Xiajiang, Yuanzhou, Ji'an, and Fuzhou from July of the second year of Shunzhi (1645) to October of the third year of Shunye, beheading and killing Zhu Ciyan, king of Yongning in the Ming Dynasty, captured Kuang Zhao, the governor of the Ming Dynasty. Wherever he went, "the village was a ruin", destroying humanity.

He thought that he had made great contributions to the Qing court, and he could be a great official in Jiangxi. Unexpectedly, the Qing government only let him be an admiral and commander-in-chief, and Wang Deren was a deputy general. The command.Jin Shenghuan was greatly annoyed by the Qing Dynasty's meanness and ungratefulness, and not rewarding meritorious deeds.

Later, when Zhang Yutian, Dong Xuecheng and others learned that Jin Shenghuan and others had robbed a large number of gold and silver treasures when they moved to Jiangxi, they were very jealous, so they took advantage of the superiority of the official rank to force them to take it out and take a share.

Jin Shenghuan was furious, thinking: I have worked so hard, how can I share with you the things I snatched back with my life?What are you guys!I was throwing my head and blood on the front line, and you are sitting in the yamen listening to music and having fun, but now you come to share the spoils, it is simply wishful thinking, there is no way!

In fact, compared to Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren was bullied even more.After all, he was born in the army, and his official position was even lower.

In addition to extortion, the inspector Dong Xuecheng even forcibly took Wang Deren's maid.

Things had come to this point, and Wang Deren couldn't bear it anymore.

In addition to disappointment, resentment breeds, and the heart of rebellion is just around the corner.

Wang Deren secretly wore Ming Dynasty clothes in his mansion, and ordered actors to perform Guo Ziyi, Han Shizhong and other plays many times.

But wanting to rebel against him alone does not have the strength, so he decides to drag Jin Shenghuan, who is also suffering from extortion, into the water.

Although Jin Shenghuan had long been dissatisfied with the Qing court, but his family was held hostage in Nanjing, so he had to swallow his anger for the time being and did not act rashly.

Wang Deren came up with an idea. He colluded with Huang Renlong, an aide in Jin Shenghuan's mansion, and secretly told Jin Shenghuan that Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian was not dead, but was hiding in Jiangxi, and they had found out his whereabouts.

So Jin Shenghuan sent people to look for "Emperor Longwu", and Huang Renlong prepared two fake imperial orders in advance, making Jin Shenghuan the Duke of Zhenjiang and Wang Deren the Marquis of Weixin.

The King and King were overjoyed, and they were ready to find an opportunity to start a rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

In the first month, Zhang Yutian, the governor of Jiangxi Province, happened to go to Ruizhou to search for rich local households.

Huang Renlong took the opportunity to say again: "Zhang Yutian's search in Ruizhou this time is not true, but it is true that he wants to harm you. A few days ago, I heard that thousands of northern troops in the province were mobilized, and their whereabouts were unknown. This time Zhang Yutian is very It may be that going to join them will be detrimental to the adults."

At this time, Jin Shenghuan's family happened to travel from Nanjing to Jiangxi to celebrate the New Year, and he had no worries about the future, so he called his subordinates to discuss secretly and prepare to start an incident.

At this time, Wang Deren was still worried. He was afraid that Jin Shenghuan would repent, so he decided to strike first.

He ordered his men to seize all the gates, surrounded the patrol mansion, arrested Dong Xuecheng, and took him to Jin Shenghuan, saying: "I was ordered to bring Dong Xuecheng here."

Before Jin Shenghuan could react, Wang Deren cut off his own braid with a knife, and ordered all the battalions under him to remove the braid.

At this point, Jin Shenghuan could only push the boat along the way, otherwise he might be killed on the spot if he fought with Wang Deren, so Jin Shenghuan ordered to go out to comfort the people, declared that he would fight against the Qing anyway, and restored the year name to the fourth year of Longwu.

Subsequently, Dong Xuecheng, the inspector, and Chi Bianlong, the chief envoy, were killed.They also sent people to catch Zhang Yutian who wanted to escape in the river. At the same time, they searched and arrested the Manchu and Han Eight Banners in Nanchang City and started killing.

But Jin Shenghuan also understood that he was just a military general, and he searched everywhere in Jiangxi, his reputation was notorious, and his political reputation was insufficient.

So he invited Jiang Riguang, the Minister of Rites of the Hongguang Dynasty and a scholar of the Dongge University, together with Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu, "the three sages of Nanzhong", to Nanchang as a political banner to expand his influence.

Jin Shenghuan called himself the Duke of Yu in the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Deren called himself the Marquis of Jianwu. They put on the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty again.

Jin and Wang appointed civil and military officials on their own, with Huang Renlong as the military minister of the five provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan. As for the local officials in Jiangxi, Chen Fang, secretary of Wang Deren's shogunate, was the governor of Jiangxi, and Wu Zunzhou, secretary of the shogunate of Jin Shenghuan, was the governor of Jiangxi.

Zhang Yutian was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. He was appointed by Jin Shenghuan as Minister of the Ministry of War and was responsible for making weapons.

On the 1648th of the first lunar month in the second year of Yongli (27), the flag of Ming Dynasty was flying again on the city head of Nanchang!
