"Good nephew?"

After a few days of restraining the remaining soldiers and defeating the generals, and because Geng Jimao's spirit and physical condition were really not suitable for the fatigue, he forced the doctor to prescribe some tranquilizing medicine and took it. He finally woke up and slowly walked from the pier.

It went down the Xijiang River and reached Huizhou Fucheng.

Huizhou Fucheng is located in the southwest of Huizhou Prefecture, and is close to the boundary of Dongguan County in the east of Guangzhou. After receiving the emergency, Shang Kexi hurriedly brought some vassal soldiers to respond, rather than the whole division. In the final analysis, it was still

Don't leave Guangzhou empty to avoid any unexpected situations.

When they met Geng Jimao, the once high-spirited young prince huddled in an airtight carriage, tightly wrapped in brocade quilts, but he was still sweating coldly, sitting there trembling with a pale face.

There was no reaction at all to his arrival.

"how so?"

The coach had fallen ill, and another commander-in-chief was captured. Lian Decheng had no choice but to step forward and explain to Shang Kexi. Shang Kexi was stunned for a while. In the end, Lian Decheng even fell to his knees.

He urged Shang Kexi to avenge Geng Jimao and Xu Gong for the sake of Geng Zhongming, and avenge the old Dongjiang troops who followed them into the Pass from Liaodong.

Lian Decheng's voice was still weeping blood, even if it was a stone, it would be accompanied by a few drops of tears. Shang Kexi looked at Geng Jimao, then at Lian Decheng, and his eyes extended to those of the Jingnan clan who were still wearing bright clothes and angry horses when they went to war.

The vassal soldiers were now as embarrassed as a group of beggars, and he could see them all. However, the situation was so miserable, Shang Kexi hesitated again and again, but he just said "it's not the time yet" and quickly ordered

The officials of the Huizhou Prefecture went to resettle the remaining defeated generals of the Jingnan Domain. They did not even utter a word about revenge or raising an army to fight Chen Kai to the death.

………………

In the battlefield of Guangdong, after the brief three surprises in one day after the victory of Guilin, and after Li Dingguo went north to face Nikan and then marched westwards, they fell to the bottom of the valley. The only thing that could make them

Fortunately, Chen Kai did not rush through the Lianhua Mountains. This gave them time to breathe, but it also ensured that the Ming army could firmly maintain this victory and would not advance by underestimating the enemy.

Something unexpected happened.

The news here must be sent to Beijing as quickly as possible. Not only is such a defeat absolutely impossible to hide, but more importantly, Shang Kexi also urgently needs reinforcements from the Qing court to maintain the situation in Guangdong, otherwise

After Chen Kai digested the fruits of victory, the situation he faced became even more difficult to deal with.

Nanjing is the only way for news to go north. Even though it no longer exists in the administrative system of the Qing court as a capital, its important military, political and economic status has not deteriorated much. This way

Even at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Governor of Liangjiang was the second local official following the Governor of Zhili, which is evident from this.

In Furong Villa in Baimaogang, Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture, there lives a world-famous figure. Even though he has long since lost his power, he still lives in the Furong Villa just because of his connections in the literary world, officialdom, and among relatives and friends.

Even though I am traveling here for a long time, the speed of getting news is not much different.

"Zhongcuo, as well as Naluohe, the Fujian King's Division was able to achieve two victories in two battles in the face of such a fierce Eight Banners Army. It is really the blessing of Emperor Gao."

"Yes, Jin Li's Eight Banners garrisoned in Hangzhou, and they have fought against the king's division several times, but they have always been effortless. This time they came back in vain. It is said that they lost a lot of soldiers, and they are asking the imperial court for help."

"That's right, there are also the Geng family's vassal soldiers. They are all proud and powerful generals who came from Liaodong. They are also elite soldiers who have joined the Han army. They have suffered a bloody end twice in a row. It's really

, Haha, it’s so satisfying!”

"..."

In Qian Qianyi's study, the servants have already been expelled. The head of the family and his mistress, who was a famous prostitute, do not like to be disturbed when they are reciting poems and writing poems, especially when meeting well-known scholars.

Already.

At this moment, Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi were here. Among the people who started laughing were Yao Zhizhuo, the uncle of Renwu, Li Zhichun, who had the bachelor's degree of Zuodu Yushijia Supervisor of the Imperial Procuratorate, and Zhang, the minister of the Ministry of War.

In Zhongfu, there was He Wangsheng, the director of the Ministry of War's official affairs department, and two Confucian scholars, one Zhu Quangu and the other Mu Ben.

These people were basically all conferred titles and appointed official positions by Lu Jianguo Dynasty, but at this moment they were cheering for the victory of the Zheng Group, the old enemy of Lu Jianguo Dynasty, without the slightest grudge.

"It is the shepherd who has the wisdom to recognize people. The surname of the country is learned from the shepherd. The shepherd also gave me the title of Big Tree back then. Now it has become a jade pillar supporting the southeast."

"Yes, and Chen Jingcheng, a man who is so resourceful and good at making decisions, still has to come to the shepherd for advice."

"With these two people in Fujian, Guangdong, and the Tatars, the good days have come to an end."

"..."

For the good news, they had a good time drinking and talking, and the people carrying the sedan chair naturally couldn't help but praise Qian Qianyi's abilities. This was not only a compliment, but also to add some confidence to the important matters they wanted to discuss during this trip.

.

"Such a great victory is a reflection of Damu and Jingcheng's talent and courage. I really can't deserve it. However, these three rounds of Catalpa Ping have been recognized by Damu and Jingcheng. They have won the first prize in the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong."

This series of major actions, also with the help of you, will give this proposal some chance of victory."

Qian Qianyi raised money, and Liu Rushi went south to Zhongzuo and sent it to Zheng Chenggong's army. Chen Kai also got half of the money. Although it was not of great benefit to the war, this kindness still made their lives easier.

It will be a little more generous, and it will also be able to gather greater strength.

After saying this, everyone understood that Qian Qianyi was adding factual basis for his earlier advocacy of vigorously funding the Ming Army in the Southeast. However, no matter how the money was used, but the funding was in place, the Ming Army was in southern Fujian and

It is an indisputable fact that great victories were achieved on both fronts in eastern Guangdong. Based on this victory, even if the court asked about it, there would be explanations.

"Great victories are rare, not to mention that Chen Jingcheng led his fleet to occupy the islands at the Pearl River Estuary, went to collect the sea tax under the nose of that thief Shang Kexi, and refused to let the ships of Shang Geng and Geng Fan go to sea.

, Thinking about Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao’s angry looks, it’s so happy, so happy!”

For this reason, everyone was confused again. Soon Qian Qianyi concluded the matter of the battlefields in Guangdong and Fujian in a few words because everyone had drunk too much and delayed the important discussion.

"In the third game of Catalpa Ping, we should proceed according to the plan of the shepherd. I have been to Guizhou and I will do my part. But how to convince His Highness the King of Qin still needs to be considered."

Yao Zhizhuo took the important task of going to Guizhou, and everyone quickly discussed the candidates to accompany them and their speeches to Sun Kewang. In terms of candidates, there was actually a tacit understanding. Li Zhichun, Zhang Chongfu, He Wangsheng and others all had different relationships in the local area.

During the three rounds of the Qingping Bureau, they were responsible for contacting the Southern Zhili Volunteer Army and those potential anti-Qing forces. On this point, Qian Qianyi was also the same, especially because he was so famous that if there was any trouble,

Anything will attract the attention of the Qing court, and it is absolutely impossible to go so far.

"For this matter, it is better for me and my good brother to accompany my uncle to Guizhou."

The selection of candidates was agreed upon without much effort. Later, He Wangsheng took out another letter and asked Yao Zhizhuo to hand it over to Lei Yuelong, a senior scholar in the Qin Palace. He was the son of He Shishou, the governor of Tianjin in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the head of the Ministry of War.

His official position was also from the Chongzhen Dynasty, which was very different from the other official positions appointed by the Lu Supervisory Dynasty. The great bachelor Lei was his tutor. With this relationship, they could come through Lei Yuelong.

Increasing the intensity of persuading Sun Kewang will always be helpful in major matters.

However, He Wangsheng has a close relationship with the leader of the rebel army in Jiangbei, Ping Yitong, who came from the Yuyuan Army in Shandong. This relationship cannot be replaced by others. Otherwise, if He Wangsheng went to Guizhou in person, his persuasion would have been even stronger.

Bigger.

"In this case, we have to trouble the shepherds, Mr. Li Ge, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. He for matters in the southeast. The three of us will make some preparations and set off in March. If nothing else happens, we should set off in July or August.

Then you can arrive in Guizhou.”

The calculation has been decided, this is a big game involving the south of the Yangtze River. According to Qian Qianyi's plan, the southwest Ming army left Huguang, occupied Wuhan, and then moved down the river, consisting of the rebel army in the south of the Yangtze River and the Ming army in Fujian and Guangdong.

Send a partial division to support and capture Nanjing in one fell swoop. Then, rely on the Fujian navy to cut off the Yangtze River, clean up the Qing army south of the Yangtze River, and then redraw the river to rule.

For this reason, after sending everyone away, Qian Qianyi was still a little hesitant about whether to go to Jinhua Mansion to give Ma Jinbao another hint. This hesitation was not because Ma Jinbao lost his troops and generals last year and his strength was damaged.
