Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 101 Su Song
Gu Yanwu took out a secret decree.

"My lords, please accept the imperial edict."

Guizhuang, Wu Qihang, Yang Yongyan, and Wang Yongzuo went north to worship together.

Under the recommendation of the supervisory censor and Zhejiang inspector Huang Zongxi, Zhu Yihait in Haiyan issued an edict to several people in Kunshan, worshiping the former governor of Xunyang Wang Yongzuo as the governor of Youqin Capital Yushi Su Song, and Gu Jiang bestowed Jinshi's background as a supervisor Shi Xun pressed Su Song.

Yang Yongyan, the former magistrate of Kunshan County, was awarded the prefect of Suzhou, and Wu Qihang was the head of the official department and Su Songchang's military preparation.

"Your Highness was very happy to hear Huang Taichong said that we would raise righteousness in Kunshan. He also specially granted the battalion number Shiwei Battalion. Governor Wang and Admiral Superintendent of Military Affairs will be in charge of food and pay, and I will be the assistant."

This secret edict made them very excited. Although there was still a Yiyang king in Nanzhi who was in Chongming to supervise the country during this period, and Xia Yunyi and Chen Zilong from the Fushe were also running for him, but because of supporting the Yiyang king The generals Huang Fei, Wu Zhikui, Chen Wu, etc. had a bad military discipline. After they were stationed in Kunshan, Songjiang and other prefectures, they would only pay the officials and gentry, and the soldiers repeatedly plundered the people. .

Gu Yanwu and others also received the call-up order from King Yiyang before, and met Xia Yunyi and others before, but they were too disappointed with them and were unwilling to stand up to support them. Now this Lu Jianguo in eastern Zhejiang is raising righteousness in Taizhou. In a short period of time, they not only restored Ningshaotai and other eight prefectures in eastern Zhejiang, but even quickly went to the Northern Expedition. Huang Zongxi even praised the supervisor to the sky in his letter, and they were very excited and willing to come out to support him.

"Mr. Shen and Mr. Chen in the Songjiang Mansion are also going to make trouble. Does Your Highness have any arrangements?" Wang Yongzuo is also very old. He used to be the governor of Xunyang, and the governor of Xunyang in Ming Dynasty is a rather special position.

The area under its jurisdiction is roughly the northwest of Xiangyang, Hubei, in the middle and upper reaches of the Hanshui River. It is at the intersection of Hubei, Sichuan, Hanzhong, Guanzhong, and Henan. It belongs to a relatively remote mountainous area. Tens of thousands of migrants flooded into the area of ​​Yunyang, opened up wasteland and farmed here, and became non-numbered people.

Later, the imperial court suppressed and prospered, and finally set up Xunyang Governor, Huguang Xingdu Division to manage this difficult bone. At the end of Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng once moved to Xunyang, using this place as the base for their comeback. The folk customs are fierce, and Wang Yongzuo served as the governor of Xunyang, which can be said to have greatly exercised his political ability.

He dealt with the Xunyang people who were regarded as barbarians all day long, and even had to face their rebellion all the time, his ability was not bad.

However, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has always paid attention to qualifications and reputation. The Songjiang Shen Gong he said is called Shen Youlong. He is far above him in terms of age, official position, and prestige. He is a Jinshi in Wanli. He has served as governor of Fujian, governor of Guangdong, and governor of Guangdong. King Fu once called him I went to the Ministry of Libing in Nanjing, but I didn't go.

"The State Supervisor has sent special envoys to the Songjiang Mansion to have a secret meeting with Shen Gong and others. He worshiped Shen Gong as Minister of the Ministry of War, Zuo Deputy Capital Censor, Governor Su Song Military Affairs and Superintendent of Food and Pay, Chen Zilong as Supervising Army Zuo Bishizhong, and Xu Fuyuan as Military Division Bishop middle·····"

Shen Youlong, Chen Zilong, Xu Fuyuan, Xia Yunyi, etc. from Songjiang Mansion had a good relationship with King Yiyang before. Xia Yunyi also went to Chongming several times to pay respects to King Yiyang in person, and proposed a plan to rely on sea and lake waters to resist captives and return to the south of the Yangtze River. The King of Yiyang sent Huang Fei, Wu Zhikui, Chen Wu, Wang Chaoxian, Huang Binqing and other generals to the south to occupy Chongming, Taihu Lake, Zhoushan and other places to resist the Qing Dynasty.

They welcomed Wu Zhikui and led the navy to Songjiang, captured and beheaded the surrendered Songjiang magistrate Yao Xuzhi, Huating county magistrate Zhang Danian and other puppet officials, and recovered Songjiang mansion. Afterwards, Wu Zhikui also followed Chen Zhilong's suggestion to enter Maohu, preparing to plan to recover Suzhou.

Wu Zhikui's subordinate General Chang Shouning was stationed in Songjiang, but this Chang Shouning was born as a rogue, and later he was recruited by the imperial court. Without military discipline, the people of Songjiang are miserable.

Although Chen Zilong and others wrote letters to the King of Yiyang many times and wrote letters to the general Wu Zhikui, they were ignored, so Chen Zilong and others regretted luring the wolf into the house. Shen Youlong also angrily scolded Chang Shouning for being extorted by Chang Shouning for money Don't use righteousness to blackmail me, I also rebelled.

Under the contact of Eastern Zhejiang Donglin and the Fushe Party members, Shen Youlong and others also took the initiative to contact the court of the Eastern Zhejiang Supervisor, and offered Zhu Yihai support, expressing their willingness to revolt and support.

Although Zhu Yihai was in Haiyan, he was of course very happy about it, so he immediately ordered Shen Youlong to be the governor of Su Song, the governor of Songjiang, Suzhou, Zhenjiang, and Changzhou, and gave Songjiang the camp title Shiyi.

In fact, it can also be seen from the two edicts here that Shen Youlong and Wang Yongzuo are actually separate and independent. Shen Youlong in Songjiang is the governor of Su Song, and Wang Yongzuo in Kunshan is the governor of Su Song. There is a superior-subordinate relationship, but Songjiang and Suzhou are actually separated from each other, and each has a battalion number.

As for the Second Mansion of Changzhen, which is under the jurisdiction of Su Song, it is actually a good name.

The original Southern Zhili Province of the Ming Dynasty is almost divided into several large parts by Zhu Yihai, one of which is the Changzhen Susong, which is the most affluent place in the south of the Yangtze River. The new governor Su Song and the admiral are newly appointed.

Then the original Nanjing Yingtian Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, Guangde, Taiping Mansion and other mansions on the south bank of the Yangtze River, Zhu Yihai newly designated a Jiangning Governor and Jiangning Governor, but now they are completely under the control of the Qing army.

However, Fengyang, Yangzhou, Huai'an, Xuzhou, Chuzhou, Hezhou and other places in the former Jiangbei still retain the governor of Fengyang and the governor of Huaiyang.

Anqing, Huizhou, Chizhou, and Luzhou prefectures to the west of Nanzhili have the governor of Anhui and the governor of Anhui.

A Nanzhili was actually divided into four provinces by Zhu Yihai, with four governors and four governors.

Zhejiang was also set up by Zhu Yihai with a governor and three governors.

Under the current situation, this kind of planning seems to be relatively long-term, and it is also planned in advance for future delays. Zhu Yihai himself also serves as the admiral of the military affairs of the Jiangnan provinces. In fact, it is stronger, this is a back door he left behind.

But at this time, Shen Youlong was named the governor of Su Song, Wang Yongzuo was named the governor of Su Song, Gu Yanwu was the inspector of Su Song, and Chen Zilong was the supervisor of Su Song's army. These titles are still loud enough.

"Jianguo hopes that we can contact Su Song's loyal and righteous soldiers to raise troops, first take Kunshan, then take Jiading, Changshu, Wujiang and other counties, and finally surround Suzhou in an attempt to recover. At the same time, don't just focus on the prefectures and counties, but also mobilize The people in the village should set up a Baojia, organize a township militia group, maintain law and order in the village, and keep one side peaceful. Don’t fight recklessly with the Tartars, fight if you can, and keep the rules if you can. If there is a momentary disparity in strength, you can temporarily retreat to the village to avoid the edge.”

"Your Highness said, if you save land and lose people, you will lose all people and land. If you save people and lose land, all people and land will survive. Don't fight for a while. The great cause of resisting the captives and rejuvenating will be a long and arduous struggle. Don't rush for a while."

Zhu Yihai's point of view surprised Wang Yongzuo and others. Before that, King Yiyang of Chongming had been sending envoys from all walks of life to add officials and confer titles everywhere, constantly urging the officials, gentlemen and people everywhere to revolt and raise their flags, and then go to fight against Suzhou. Fighting Songjiang and even planning to fight Nanjing, no matter what the actual conditions are, they shouted loudly, what about recovering the two capitals and restoring Daming.

Now this Lu Jianguo who personally led the Northern Expedition, everyone thought that this should be a quick-tempered person. He must have vowed to recover the two capitals when he personally led the Northern Expedition. Unexpectedly, he said that if the land is lost, everyone will lose it. Dare to fight Chong, but still cautious.

Wang Yongzuo sighed, "Although I haven't met His Highness Jian Guo yet, I already believe that Huang Taichong's words are true. This Highness is really amazing."

"Well, let's make a judgment." Gu Yanwu also said, referring to King Yiyang of Chongming.

With the edict to supervise the country, they each raised a lot of silver and contacted many people with lofty ideals. Now everything is ready, and the only thing they owe is Dongfeng.

"Then act righteously, there is nothing to hesitate."

"Well, first regain Kunshan County, and then issue a call to action, recruit soldiers, and form a township regiment..." Several people discussed excitedly.

······
Almost at the same time, in Huating, Songjiang City, which is closer to Jiaxing Mansion, Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, Xu Fuyuan, etc. from several clubs also received orders from Jian Guo. Wang Jiaqin is currently serving as the head of Fang Si, and there are also Huaxia and Dong Zhining who have just returned from Chongming.

"I didn't expect Chen Wu, Wang Chaoxian, Zhang Guozhu, etc. to be so hateful. They only care about internal strife in the face of national crisis, and they are good at killing the country!" Chen Zilong slapped his legs bitterly, because he had accumulated too much dissatisfaction with King Yiyang during this period, Now Chen Zilong has directly called Zhu Yihai as the supervisor of the country, but no longer calls Yiyang Wang the supervisor of the country.

This Fushe tycoon who quelled the Xudu Rebellion in Eastern Zhejiang before, because he recruited Xudu before, was later arrested by the inspector Zuo Guang who betrayed his promise and killed Xudu and others. It made his reputation among the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River ashamed for a while.

Fortunately, he explained clearly afterwards that when the Qing army went south, Chen Zilong was recommended by Huang Daozhou and was ordered to inspect the Nanjing barracks as a military officer. However, he was soon squeezed out by Ma Shiying and others and returned home. The Qing army recruited him, but he resolutely refused and stood up. He ran around with Xia Yunyi and other friends, contacted the battalions that collapsed to the south of the Yangtze River, and even united with the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to support Yiyang King, hoping to turn the tide.

But who would have expected that no matter whether it is Huang Fei, Wu Zhikui, or other generals, none of them is reliable, especially the King of Yiyang. Do some immoral things like looting and taking the opportunity to blackmail the gentry.

So far, I haven't beaten a few Tartars, but I have done my best to harm the people.

Xia Yunyi came back from Chongming with Huaxia and the others, and when talking about the meeting with the envoy, they all sighed.After Huaxia and the others came to Chongming Island on behalf of Lu Jianguo, they specially sent 2 taels of silver to pay the soldiers and horses of King Yiyang's troops.

When the two sides discussed in detail the time when the two supervisors officially became the supervisor, Zhu Yihai was actually one day earlier. Although it was only one day earlier, even if it was an hour earlier, Zhu Yihai was still ahead.

Speaking of which, both of them were Shufans of the Yuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, and they were not strong heirs to the throne, but the current situation is difficult, and there is nothing to say about being able to accept orders at this time, but things always come first and then come first.

But Zhu Yihai showed great sincerity and asked Huaxia to tell Yiyang King and his ministers that they would like to work together with the outside world first, and even proposed that whoever recovers Nanjing first will be the emperor in the future.

However, King Yiyang was dissatisfied. Jing Benche, the governor of the Zhezhi Navy, and Tian Yang, a cabinet scholar he appointed, also took the lead in disagreeing. They insisted that Zhu Yihai abdicate and return to the vassal. The eastern tribes obeyed the restraint order of King Yiyang.

This kind of response, even Xia Yunyi who went to Chongming, couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up to object, thinking that the current enemy is now, and they should join forces to fight against the captives first.

But his words were reprimanded, and finally broke up unhappy.

King Yiyang even wanted to detain Huaxia Dong Zhining and the others as a response to the beheading of Chen Wu by King Lu. Finally, Xia Yunyi persuaded them in every possible way before letting them go.

It was precisely because of the bad attitude of King Yiyang that after Zhu Yihai got the report, he formally issued an imperial edict to Wang Yongzuo and Shen Youlong, formally broke through the boundary between Wu and Yue, and began to intervene in Wu.

The official first battle of Wu Yue's turnaround will start with the Songjiang gentry who originally supported Yiyang King, such as Songjiang Shen Youlong, Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, Xu Fuyuan, attacking Yiyang King's general Wu Zhikui and general Ning Changshou, and recapturing Songjiang City.

"Our World Volunteer Battalion first takes Huating, then recovers the entire territory of Songjiang Mansion, and then goes north to Kunshan, joins the Wang Governor Gu Xun to press their World Health Battalion, and join forces to take Suzhou!"

"I would like to be the pioneer of the Northern Expedition for His Royal Highness Lu Jianguo, and wish the flag a victory!"
