Huang Binqing, who was granted the title of Su Jingbo by the King of Yiyang and the chief military officer of land and water official recruitment, held the letter with a playful smile on his face.
"Uncle, Chen Wu and Chao Chao are not honest. Aren't they here to steal our territory?"
When the three governors and eight generals jointly supported the king of Yiyang to supervise the country, Huang Binqing was granted the title of Su Jingbo. He worshiped the land and water officials and recruited the generals. It was already agreed that the capitals of Zhejiang and Fujian would be assigned to Huang Binqing, but now it happened again
Here came the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Chen Wu, and then the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Chao Xian.
He, the commander-in-chief, was overwhelmed by them.
The most hateful thing is Chen Wu. Isn't he just here to grab territory?
"That's right, who is Chen Wu? He actually dares to give orders and ask us to cooperate to contain Haimen and Shipu's soldiers. Damn it, are you ordering our current people? They come to seize our territory and ask us to cooperate.
?”
"So who is the oldest one, Wang Chao, and he also came over and asked us to cooperate?"
Huang Binqing's generals Zhu Jiu and Lu Wei were very dissatisfied.
"This town used to support King Yiyang to supervise the country, and I know His Highness quite well. Your Highness is so kind, how could you do this? I think this must be Chen Wu. The dynasty pretended to be the superintendent of the country and just wanted to steal my territory.
"Huang Binqing said with a sneer.
"Then we don't need to pay attention to it. It's better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." Zhu Jiu said, "Wang Zhiren, Zhang Mingzhen and others are also smelly and tough and difficult to deal with. This time we can use their hands to get rid of them."
Huang Binqing's brother Xiaoqing was worried, "Isn't it bad for our family to have internal strife?"
Another brother, Zhongqing, said, "If he is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust. This Wang Zhiren has sent troops to besiege our food requisition team many times before, and has asked us to obey his orders several times. Now we sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
how?"
Lu Wei then said, "Junmen, I think we might as well keep doing nothing and take advantage of this opportunity to destroy Chaoyang Xian and Chen Wu, and annex their people. Then we can also take over the territory of Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen's people."
Annexed.”
Huang Binqing looked at him, "How do you explain?"
Lu Weiyin smiled and said, "Let's let Chen Wu and Wang Zhiren fight each other first. Let's first deceive the Dynasty who has already arrived here, kill him, swallow his troops first, and then take advantage of Ningbo."
, then go over and destroy Wang Zhiren and Chen Wu, who are both harmed by the defeat, so that Ning Shaotai will be ours."
"The 8,000 Sichuan white-armed soldiers under the command of Wang Dynasty have always been relatively elite and brave, so it is difficult to take action."
"If you trick him into going to the sea, no matter how powerful his white-pole soldiers are, it will be useless."
A few people said something to each other, and they were full of calculations.
Huang Binqing returned to Zhoushan from the sea before. Although this was his old territory, after all, Zhoushan was just an island with a limited population and even more limited supplies. He tried several times to collect grain, tax and raise taxes in Ningbo, Shaoxing, Taizhou and other places, but was rejected by Wang Zhiren.
Send troops to repel.
If we continue like this, we will still be trapped in a city of poverty and sorrow.
He had been planning to attack Wang Zhiren, but he didn't expect Lu Jianguo to suddenly appear.
The generals retreated.
Huang Binqing's family was the only one left in the house.
His brothers Zhongqing and Xiaoqing, his sons Shijue and Shixun, and his nephews Dazhen.
The Huang family has been a military family for generations, and all of his brothers, nephews, and nephews are very brave. However, Huang Binqing is indeed braver, and his smooth career in recent years is mainly due to his ability to work.
During the Chongzhen Dynasty, he relied on the eunuch path to rise step by step.
Hongguang Nanjing was established, and Huang Binqing took the initiative to lead troops to Nanjing. Therefore, he quickly became the commander-in-chief of Jiujiang. After that, he rose through the ranks and became the commander-in-chief of the seal, with tens of thousands of naval forces at his disposal.
Every step was done with utmost care.
"What do you think of King Lu?" Huang Binqing suddenly asked.
Huang Dazhen is Binqing's nephew and the bravest among his children. "I think personally, King Lu is better than King Yiyang, more than a little bit better. I have heard a lot about King Lu's deeds recently, such as how Taizhou Linhai City collapsed with a gun."
The envoy, in the city of Ningbo, beheaded three guests with a sword, borrowed silver from the gentry, organized troops and horses, and rewarded them with money and silver. It looks like he has done something great."
Huang Xiaoqing disagreed, "It's just a show. I think the Zhu family has exhausted all their energy and is just struggling to death. If you ask me, we still have to plan a way out early. We can't follow them all the way to the dark side. We have to contact the north early.
Now that we have soldiers and territory, we can still sell it at a good price."
Da Zhen said, "We only have a few men, horses, ships and a few broken islands. What price can the Northern Envoy offer? The Northern Envoy came here before, but he was only willing to give his uncle his original appointment, but you all know that this is
What do you mean, a general soldier just sent us away? We want money but no money, and we want territory but no territory?"
"If you ask me, even if you really want to find a way out, you have to do something big first. Why not take this opportunity to capture Wang Chaoxian, Chen Wu, Wang Zhiren, and Zhang Mingzhen in one fell swoop? It would be best to capture this Lu Supervisor State as well.
, when we hold half of Zhejiang, and there are so many important people, how come the Northern Dynasty has to give my uncle a governor?"
Although Huang Dazhen also felt that King Lu was stronger than King Yiyang, no matter how strong he was, in these precarious last days, the Zhu family had no hope of revitalization.
It's better for these generals to plan their own future while they still have some capital.
Xiaoqing patted the table and said to his second brother Binqing, "The Northern Dynasty always gave preferential treatment to those who surrendered. In the Ming Dynasty, the title was the same title over there, and the official titles here were often the same titles there. 2.
I am an earl and commander-in-chief now, and I was still an earl and commander-in-chief in the past."
Huang Dazhen said, "Wu Sangui led the Qing army into Shanhaiguan. Originally he was just Ping Xibo. After the Qing army entered Beijing, they immediately named him Pingxi King. And to this day, he still leads his own original team alone. His status is very respected.
I said, we still have to plan carefully. Even if we surrender to the Qing Dynasty, we still have to have strong troops and territory, and I don’t think my uncle will also be granted the title of a county king and a governor."
When Huang Binqing heard these words, his heart was filled with ups and downs.
In troubled times, who doesn’t find a way out for themselves?
When the three governors and eight general soldiers supported King Yiyang, they expected that the Ming Dynasty would still have half of the country, but now it seems that it is almost impossible to control it by crossing the river.
But now King Yiyang sent Chen Wu, and the dynasty went south first, which made Huang Binqing even more dissatisfied.
However, another Lu Jianguo came out of eastern Zhejiang. Although we haven't had much contact with him yet, we have to admit that this Lu Jianguo looks stronger than King Yiyang.
He also hesitated whether to worship Lu Jianguo instead, but after thinking about it, he felt that the Qing army was too powerful and it would be difficult for Lu Jianguo to achieve great things.
Now Chen Wu and the Dynasty came to seize the territory first, and Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen blocked him at sea. There is no hope for this day.
After thinking for a long time, Huang Binqing finally made up his mind.
"What Xiaoqing and Dazhen said are both right. In troubled times, the grassroots will be the king. No matter what the future holds, we still have to have soldiers and territory in our hands. This Chen Wu, the dynasty has not been kind before, so don't blame me for being unjust."
.”
"Dazhen, go see Mr. Wang Chao immediately and say that I am willing to send troops to cooperate with him in taking Dinghai. Ask him to lead his troops to Zhoushan first, and then stationed at Xiumen Island first. I will prepare food and condolences for him there. When the time comes,
After joining forces and sending out troops to capture Dinghai and Ningbo, each of the two families will get half of what they captured."
"Second uncle, please rest assured, I will complete the task."
Several people laughed ferociously, "When the time comes, I will ambush on the sea off Sharguan Island. As soon as Chao Chao leads his troops there, I will launch a sudden ambush, leaving these Sichuan white-armed soldiers useless and forced to surrender."
"The eight thousand white-armed soldiers of the Dynasty are very brave. As long as they are willing to surrender, they will be kept. The Dynasty does not need to keep them," Huang Binqing said.
······
Ningbo, Longshan.
Wang Chaoxian warmly received Huang Dazhen, who came from Zhoushan. After some courtesy, Wang Chaoxian carefully read Huang Binqing's letter.
In the letter, Huang Binqing agreed to Chao Dynasty's request to join forces to capture Ning Shaotai first, and even expressed his willingness to take half of the proceeds from the two families after the success was achieved.
Not only that, Huang Binqing also asked him to lead his troops to stop at Samuguan Island between Dinghai and Zhoushan, saying that he would prepare food and labor for the army there. Then the two armies would meet here and march together to sweep the Ningshaotai areas.
Huang Binqing even thanked him in the letter for leading his troops to help, saying that since he came south on the orders of King Yiyang Jianguo, he has been unable to open up the situation and was trapped by Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen. Now Jianguo sent Chen Wu and
Dynasty came to help first, and he was very grateful.
Although King Yiyang appointed Chen Wu as the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Huang Binqing expressed his understanding and acceptance. As the general officer of land and water, he planned to cooperate with King Yiyang in besieging Hangzhou after taking over eastern Zhejiang this time.
Wang Chao stroked his beard first, "I didn't expect Mr. Huang to understand justice so well. I was a little worried before, fearing that Mr. Wang might have a grudge and a misunderstanding."
Huang Dazhen said, "The country is weak, and we all work for the country. My uncle said, at this time, how can we care too much about personal gains and losses."
"Well said, I admire Mr. Huang."
"It's all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the country. After we first capture the rebellious officials and traitors such as King Lu and Wang Zhiren, we will send our troops north together to attack the Hangzhou Tartars, recapture the Three Wus together, and revive the Ming Dynasty."
"Hahaha, okay!"
"Governor Wang, my uncle has prepared money and food to help the troops at Qianguan."
Although Wang Chaoxian is a Sichuan chieftain, he is not that kind of barbarian. He has eight thousand soldiers with white poles at his disposal, but he is always a favorite wherever he goes.
He thought that he was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and had no conflict of interest with Huang Binqing. Even if Huang Binqing was dissatisfied, he still had a conflict with Chen Wu, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, so he didn't think about anything else. He just wanted to take advantage of Chen Wu to fight Wang Zhiren and others in the north.
I'll go south and take the back road with Huang Binqing to make some money first.
"Send the order and the entire army will immediately break camp and move south."
An officer asked in a low voice, "Governor Chen invites us to go to Cixi to attack King Lu and his companions?"
"Chen Wu is the governor, so is also the governor, and so is not his subordinate. A mere king of Lu has thousands of troops. How can he still not be able to handle it by himself?"
Chao Chao first made up his mind to let Chen Wu and Wang Zhiren compete with each other. He and Huang Binqing took advantage of the opportunity to raid the house and reap the benefits. Anyway, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian is Chen Wu. Why should he, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, work so hard?
The capture of Ning Shaotai didn't have much to do with him. He just grabbed a handful and left.
Immediately, the dynasty sent an order to the whole army to break camp and go south. This time he brought with him 8,000 white pole soldiers, thousands of young and strong recruits who had been threatened along the way, plus many ships captured in the Susong area.
, but it was also a mighty march south.
Huang Dazhen's boat sailed at the front, and he turned back frequently with a proud look on his face.
What a fat sheep, what a stupid dynasty leader.
Let Chen Wu and Wang Zhiren fight. After they swallow up the dynasty first, they can then deal with Chen Wu. This land in Zhejiang is the territory of their Huang family. No matter who they invest in in the future, it will be their capital.
