Chapter 254 The chaos in Jiangnan was won across the board
He Tengjiao slept with the prisoner for three nights, and then the court issued an edict.
He was granted the title of Crown Prince Taibao, Bachelor of the Wuying Palace of Jin Dynasty, and Count of Dingxing. He left the town of Guangzhou, supervised the military affairs of the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi and was responsible for food and wages. He was given thirty-six imperial flags and the Shangfang Sword.
With a capital camp of 6,800 soldiers and horses as the pavilion mark, he followed him southward.
As soon as this decree came out, many people couldn't help but talk about it. They often heard from He Gebu that the supervisor slept with this one again tonight, and summoned that one to sleep with him yesterday. Who would have thought that in the end, He Gebu would be the only one to be favored and even sleep with him?
Three nights.
Some people even dug up the history of He Tengjiao and said that he was good at sleeping. They said that He Tengjiao was just a Juren in Guizhou, but during the Chongzhen Dynasty, he was able to serve as a magistrate of a large county like Nanyang County. This is even better than ordinary people.
The starting point of Jinshi is high, why?
Because He Tengjiao slept with a pavilion boss at that time.
Of course, it was originally said that He Tengjiao was appreciated and summoned by the elders in power, and the conversation was very pleasant.
After He Tengjiao came to Nanyang and took office, he immediately slept with the governor Chen Biqian. Of course, he actually followed the governor Chen Biqian to defeat the thieves in Angao Mountain, beheaded more than 400 thieves, and pacified the local bandits, which made him famous. He was only a new official for three years.
Huo, just followed Governor Chen to break the bandits.
After that, He Tengjiao and Dingyou resigned and were mourned. He took up the post of Huaixu Bingbei Qianshi and was already a fourth-rank official. When he was in office, he was still very murderous when he was fighting against thieves and bandits. Anyway, he brought a lot of peace to his area. Even Chongzhen listened.
Everyone praised it.
So he was summoned to the capital to meet the saint, but it was rumored that he had fallen asleep again.
So at the end of Chongzhen, he was promoted all the way to the governor of Huguang. It can be said that his official career was like cheating. Later, Prince Fu of Nanjing succeeded to the throne and was still the governor of Huguang. The Nanjing party was fiercely fighting within the party. Zuo Liangyu raised an army to the side of the Qing Dynasty and invited Lao He, who had a good relationship, to join him.
Go down to the south of the Yangtze River to gain wealth and honor together.
As a result, He Tengjiao believed that he could not succeed and refused. Then the warlord Zuo Liangyu lost his temper and threatened to kill all the people in Ningzhou where He Tengjiao was. Lao He was also very stubborn. Although I once slept with you, I
It was impossible for him to rebel with you. He notified all the people in the city to flee for their lives. Then he opened the gate of the government office himself, placed the official seal in the hall, put on his official uniform and waited for Zuo Liangyu to come and kill him.
If he's a brother, just chop him with a knife.
After Zuo Liangyu's army invaded the city, He Tengjiao thought that he might as well kill himself. However, he was stopped by his subordinates and Zuo Liangyu's soldiers took him to see the commander.
Zuo Liangyu still respected him very much when they met, and even let him ride on the same boat and even wanted to sleep with him at night.
He Tengjiao refused. The past was the past and the present is now. He found an opportunity and jumped off the boat into the river. Zuo Liangyu thought he would commit suicide by jumping into the river and refused to sleep with her again. In fact, He Tengjiao was very good at water and swam ashore.
He rushed back to Changsha, summoned his old troops, recruited troops, and raised the banner of rebelling against the left, resolutely supporting the Nanjing court.
Of course, there is another legend circulating in the rivers and lakes. It is said that Zuo Liangyu sent four general soldiers to guard He Tengjiao, and he went to take a bath and incense to prepare for a night talk with He Fuyuan. Then a dragon appeared in the river and smashed it to pieces.
Zuo Liangyu's 800,000-strong army emerged from the ship's window carrying He Tengjiao, and finally sent him all the way to a Guandi Temple.
At dawn, He Tengjiao's family members who had sent him out of the city happened to be passing by, and they also brought his official seal.
So He Tengjiao put on his official robes, took the seal, summoned his troops, and raised the flag to oppose the left. Soon Zuo Liangyu died suddenly on the river, and many of his troops dispersed. The rest of his troops followed Zuo Mengeng and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
Although this legend is too fantasy, the people in Huguang love to hear it, believe it very much, and respect He Tengjiao even more.
After the city of Nanjing was destroyed and the news of Hongguang's capture came, He Tengjiao had reorganized his troops and established the Thirteenth Army Town. After Zuo Liangyu, the former largest military leader in Huguang, died of illness, and his son was transferred to the Qing Dynasty, He Tengjiao became completely successful.
The most powerful man in Huguang.
Even Lu Jianguo issued an edict to seal him.
Some people concluded that no wonder He Tengjiao used to like to say that Lu State slept with a certain minister. It turned out that he himself slept all the way up, sleeping with the elder, sleeping with the governor, sleeping with the emperor and sleeping with Zuo Liangyu, and now sleeping with the prison state, forcing him to sleep in a Wuying Palace
The Grand Scholar, Prince Taibao, and Superintendent of Fujian and Guangdong are here.
Everyone was happy to talk about the word "sleep", but they ignored He Tengjiao's true intention of going south to supervise the three provinces.
Under the city of Hangzhou.
Zhu Yihai just laughed when he heard the rumors reported by the attendant's room.
Common people love these gossips the most. The more outrageous and exaggerated they are, the more they believe them. They are natural supporters of conspiracy theories.
"Do we need to take down these guys who are maliciously spreading rumors?" Yang Boxing asked expressionlessly.
Zhu Yihai waved his hand, "Why should we be so serious about innocuous things? As long as someone is not deliberately stirring up trouble, just ignore it. Let's talk about business and summarize military intelligence."
Yang Boxing then gave a military intelligence briefing.
"Zhang Quan, the commander-in-chief of Yongwei Town, and Shen Wenzhong, the military supervisor, reported from Huzhou that they had recovered all six counties and one prefecture in Huzhou, beheading more than 800 people, capturing more than 3,000 people, and confiscating more than 500,000 taels of silver.
There are many grain and grass equipment,
Jin Gongyu, the commander-in-chief of Huzhou Town, failed to ambush Zhang Cunren and lost more than a thousand men. He asked the supervisor to punish him."
Zhu Yihai took some time off from his busy schedule to eat breakfast, supervising the country. What he ate was nothing more than sweet potato porridge with small salted fish, and then a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup, which was plain and simple.
This is not a show, but he has never been too fond of extravagance, and prefers simplicity in the military.
Tens of thousands of soldiers gathered under the city of Hangzhou. Although the food supply was sufficient and timely, and Qiantang Bay was behind them, it was impossible for everyone to see some meat and fish every three days, while he had a lot of fish and meat every day.
"The attack on Jin and Jade was also a non-war crime. The Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia are inherently strong. They are bent on escaping, and it is even more difficult to intercept them. The art of war has it, so don't stop them when they return to the army. Of course, Zhang Quan's original plan was also right.
, it can only be said that there is still a big gap in strength between us and the Tatars. In the future, we should face up to this gap and be more cautious when formulating combat plans."
"It is a good thing that the cities in Huzhou have been recovered, but they cannot underestimate the enemy. They have to be mentally prepared and ready to evacuate at any time. So what they have to do now is not to strengthen the city defenses and prepare to hold on, but to try their best to transfer materials, money and food to Tianmu Mountain or Taihu Lake
Base area."
"Of course, now that we have taken it, we are not in a hurry to withdraw. The Tatars have not come, so we will hold it for a while and take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the traitors, clear the fields, and rectify the taxes. We still have to do what we have to do. As long as
Be careful and keep an eye on them at all times. If the Tatars come, just retreat in advance."
Although Yang Boxing was surprised and still didn't intend to defend at this time, he was just stunned for a moment.
"Where is Zheng Jiwu and Zhu Dayou from Jiaxing? Is there any news?"
Those two were originally military attachés from the Haining Institute of the Ming Dynasty. They surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and then surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Last time, Li Yuchun followed Yan Wogong and went to Susong. They were plated with a thick layer of gold.
Due to his efforts in quelling chaos and suppressing rebellion, Zheng Jiwu became the commander-in-chief of Jiaxing, and Zhu Gangtang took over as the deputy general of Haining.
The two of them still had the title of Marquis and Count on their bodies respectively. It can be said that there was talk of sneaking into the enemy camp, recruiting troops and horses by themselves, and then asking the Tatars for weapons and wages. Although the Qing court did not give them anything, under the banner of the Green Camp,
In Jiaxing, we collected donations and paid salaries from the gentry, merchants and landlords who had surrendered, and there was still no shortage of money and food.
Because the banner of Green Camp is flying, the situation in Jiaxing is better than that in Huzhou.
Huzhou only occupied rural villages, while Jiaxing was under actual control from top to bottom. In fact, it was already under the actual control of the Ming Dynasty.
"Jiaxing is very peaceful now, like a flat lake with no waves."
However, the report they gave to Jiangning was very lively. The two of them fought with the attacking Ming army almost every day, and defeated the invading Ming army time and time again.
Zhu Yihai heard this reply and thought for a while, "That's good, but we can't do nothing. We should take advantage of this turmoil to step up contact with the prefecture and county officials in Jiaxing. If they are loyal to the Tartars, let Zheng Jiwu and others
Send someone to do it, then blame it on the bandits or even us. He can also take the opportunity to clean up and rectify the situation, and seize some of the gentry and landlords who are die-hard surrenderers."
"Is there any movement over there in Nanjing?"
"Not yet. Li Yuchun of Songjiang and Li Chengdong of Jiading, Suzhou are still fighting a lawsuit. Tu Guobao of Suzhou had to send his troops back halfway because Wu Yi, the governor of water transport, sent troops to seize Wujiang again and cut off the canal."
"By the way, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu and Cheng Bi took the opportunity to recover Jiangyin City. Huang Binqing also sent troops from Jingjiang to recover Taixing City."
Good news one after another.
Ruan Jin, Liu Kongzhao, Zhou Hezhi and others also led the navy to carry out successive operations, relying on the advantage of the boat division to carry out raids along the Yangtze River, Susong, Huaiyang and the coastal areas, coming and going like the wind, a piracy tactic.
Based on the intelligence at hand, he took advantage of the weak points and avoided the real ones. Every time he stared at the unsuspecting empty cities. After capturing them, he moved the money and food from the treasury, and took away the officials and gentry who were loyal to the surrender.
Kill a group of people, hang them on the city wall, confiscate their homes, then provide relief to the poor, and even mobilize the people to tear down the city wall.
If there is time, the local registers will also be moved.
When the Qing army arrived tired, they had already sailed away. It has to be said that at this stage, when Zhu Yihai planned to play such rogue tactics with the Qing army, the Qing army was exhausted because Zhu Yihai did not defend the city at all.
.
It only means attacking but not defending. To put it bluntly, it means sweeping away the Qing army, seizing money and food, attacking the local officials of the Tatars, and the green camp. Accumulate a small amount into a large number, and use a small amount of victory to gather a big victory.
Anyway, the navy uses Zhoushan, Chongming, Yangshan and other bases as bases. The Qing army now has no strength to attack and can only be passively beaten.
As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to be a thief, but a thousand days to guard against thieves. Even if Bo Luo goes ahead and arranges Yang Chengzu, Li Chengdong, Wu Shengzhao, Ma Degong, and Li Yuchun to guard the coastal ports, the defense can only
Being able to defend against several important port targets means there are many places for landing along the coast.
Back then, the Japanese pirates were roaming the southeast, and the entire Ming Dynasty was struggling to deal with them. Now that Zhu Yihai has a good force, it is even more difficult for the Tatars' newly reorganized Green Camp.
What's more, there were people like Li Yuchun and Zheng Jiwu mixed into the Green Camp.
After breakfast, Zhu Yihai was in a good mood.
"The city of Hangzhou has been besieged for so many days, and the food shortage is probably quite serious. Let's go and persuade them to surrender."
