Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 613 Planning the Land of Zhangquan
Quanzhou Citong City is currently the seat of Quanzhou.

In the first year of Qiande (963), Chen Hongjin seized the power of Zhang Hansi, claiming to stay behind, he judged the situation, in order to preserve his strength, stabilize Quan and Zhang, while still attached to the Southern Tang Dynasty, he sent someone to ask for orders from the later master Li Yu, and was appointed Qingyuan Military Jiedu envoy, Quannan and other state observation envoys.

On the other hand, Chen Hongjin sent Yamen General Wei Renji to take a boat from the sea in the first year of Song Qiande, detour to Bianjing, and profess his vassal to Zhao Kuangyin, expressing his willingness to accept the land and return it to the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to comfort him. Year-old tribute.

In the second year of Qiande, Zhao Kuangyin ordered to change the Qingyuan Army into the Ping Navy, with Chen Hongjin as the Jiedu Envoy, Quanzhang Observation Envoy, and Calibration Taifu. So, Chen Wenhao was the governor of Zhangzhou.

In the past two years, Chen Hongjin paid a large amount of gold, silver, ivory, and frankincense to Song Tingsui in order to raise his own self-esteem. The people in the fourteen counties of the two prefectures of Quanzhou and Quanzhou have quite a lot of opinions.

Lu Chaoqun, the general of Heiyundu on the island, sent people to operate in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou a few years ago. He took a fancy to this place and continued to operate it. He bought some generals, such as Dong Jiujie, whose father was Dong Fuan.When Zhangzhou garrison general Lin Zanyao rebelled, Liu Congxiao led his troops to expel him. He took the opportunity to order Dong Fuan, the general of Quanzhou, to know the affairs of Zhangzhou.

But in December of the seventh year of Baoda (949), Liu Congxiao's brother and Nanzhou deputy envoy Liu Congyuan killed Dong Fu'an with poisoned wine and replaced him. Li Jing was promoted to Quanzhou as Qingyuan Army and appointed Liu Congxiao He was the Jiedu envoy of the Qingyuan Army and the observation envoy of Quannan and other states.Since then, he has stayed in the land of Zhang and Quan, supported his troops, and refused to listen to the Southern Tang's dispatch, and Li Jing was also unable to conquer.

Seeing his father being killed, Dong Jiujie has always held a grudge, but he didn't show it on the surface, pretending not to care, and Liu Congxiao's family didn't kill them all. Later, Dong Jiujie became a county captain, was bought by Lu Chaoqun, and had already surrendered to Heiyundu overseas power.

Another Marquis of Duyu who was instigated by rebellion was Zhang Zhicheng, who was Zhang Hansi's nephew. Three years ago, Zhang Hansi was pushed by Chen Hongjin to stay in Qingyuan, and Chen Hongjin served as the deputy envoy of Jiedu.But Zhang Hansi was too old to deal with military affairs at this time, and everything was decided by Chen Hongjin.

Zhang Hansi once feared that Chen Hongjin would dominate and endanger himself, so he planned to ambush soldiers at the banquet to kill Chen Hongjin. As a result, the incident was revealed, and Chen Hongjin fled. After a few days, he led people into Zhang's mansion and put Zhang Hansi under house arrest. From then on, Chen Hongjin started Zhangquan by himself. Jiedushi, stay behind.

That night, Dong Jiujie and Zhang Zhicheng came to an inn in Jinjiang County and met with several generals from the sea.

Lu Zheng, Gao Fu'an, and Wang Yuanbo appeared in the Accord in the inner courtyard of the inn to meet them.

After everyone took their seats in the Accord, General Gao Fuan introduced them to them: "General Dong, General Zhang, this young son is Lu Zheng, the eldest son of General Lu Chaoqun. He is in charge of operations, and this general from Lin Linju is also from Fujian. Heiyundu sent back to Zhangquan to manage the soldiers and horses here for nearly ten years. He occupied the mountain as a village and gathered many soldiers and horses.

"As long as we find the right time, we can land from Jinjiang County first, cooperate with the inside and outside, occupy the Jinjiang Ferry area, and then we can directly attack the city of Quanzhou. As long as we take the city of Yitong at the same time for this time, the land of Zhangquan will be very fast. It will fall into my waiting hands."

Dong Jiujie and Zhang Zhicheng stood up and clasped their hands together: "I've seen Mr. Lu."

"You're welcome, please sit down!" Lu Zheng echoed.

After being greeted by several generals, Dong Jiujie said: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I have long hoped to avenge my father and do something great for the Ming Lord. General Lu has been overseas and is preparing to restore the country. For more than 20 years, then It's time to return to Jiangzuo and restore the state of Wu.

Lu Zheng said: "My father has prepared for many years, and now the troops are distributed on the islands. The population of the islanders exceeds [-], and there are [-] troops. As long as we can land in Jinjiang, take Quanzhou, and then take Zhangzhou, then we must We can become king here. Now the army of the Song State in the north is at loggerheads with the soldiers of the Tang State. The main force of Wu and Yue is fighting in Runzhou, resulting in the emptiness of the army in the country. Fujian has long existed in name only and lacks control. Based in Fujian.

"Although the area of ​​Zhangzhou and Quanzhou was nominally belonged to Song by Chen Hongjin, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. They don't have specific troops to control it. After we take it, we can go north to attack Wu and Yue, and we can also fight horizontally against Tang. In short, when Song, Tang, Wu, and Yue are seriously injured, it is the time for us to conquer cities and seize territory and vigorously develop."

Zhang Zhicheng heard the words and said: "Wonderful, it turns out that General Lu has already seen the opportunity. If we can really win these places, then maybe we can swallow Tang and Wu Yue in the future and replace them."

Lu Zheng smiled and said: "Hahahaha, it will definitely be, our army will first establish a foothold in Fujian, find a way to swallow Wuyue, and then restore Wu State and destroy Tang State, so that the entire south of the Yangtze River will belong to our Heiyun City The world. At that time, there was Song in the north, Wu in the east of the river, and Shu in the southwest, and the situation of three kingdoms was restored."

Hearing this, all the people at the scene were full of fighting spirit. At that time, these generals were all the heroes of the founding of the country; so they were very happy, happy to hear about it, and full of expectations.

As the saying goes, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. Dong Jiujie and Zhang Zhicheng have endured humiliation for many years in Fujian, waiting for an opportunity, and finally they have brought the people from Heiyundu to rely on and use each other.

Lu Zheng asked: "Next, let's discuss how to take Jinjiang County. There is a ferry near the sea in Jinjiang County, which is the key to the landing of ships from outside. Therefore, it will be better if we can land smoothly without bloodshed."

Dong Jiujie said: "I have been a county lieutenant in Jinjiang County for several years, and I have recruited many people here, but there are only a few officers in the yamen, and they can be used as internal agents. There are 300 people. I will wait for an appointment to land. People can restrain the defenders at the ferry checkpoint.

Gao Fu'an asked: "It's clear how much defense force the defenders have."

Dong Jiujie received: "About 3000 people, 500 people every time the shift is on duty, we bring it.

Lu Zheng said: "That's okay, you choose some reliable officials, and I will ask General Lin to follow with 800 men to help you solve the guards on the checkpoints, and then send out a signal so that our naval ships can approach and land."

Dong Jiujie nodded and replied, "No problem."

Lu Zheng looked at Zhang Zhicheng and said, "How many defensive forces does Citong City have?"

Zhang Zhicheng replied: "About 2 people are Chen Hongjin's main force. There are 5000 troops stationed outside the city, 5000 people inside the city, and [-] soldiers and horses led by Chen Wenhao, the governor of Zhangzhou. If we can take Chen Hongjin, break through Citong City, and Zhangzhou can recruit brothers Chen Wenhao. After all, the soldiers in the army are all locals. If they don’t fight, they can reduce their hatred. After all, if these soldiers die in battle, their children, parents, brothers and sisters will hate and resist me. Army. If it is incorporated, it will be better integrated into the local area.”

Lu Zheng nodded, agreeing with Zhang Duyuhou's statement.

"What General Zhang said is very reasonable, it is even better if you can defeat the enemy without fighting.

Zhang Zhicheng said: "I still have two sworn brothers, both of whom serve as Marquis of Duyu in the army and have military power in their hands. At that time, I can persuade them to carry out a mutiny, cooperate internally and externally, attack the commander's mansion, and open the city gate. At that time, Heiyun The soldiers and horses of the capital can successfully attack the city."

Lu Zheng clapped his hands and smiled, "That's the best."

Everyone talked very speculatively, and set a time on the spot, and took action in half a month.
