Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

"Master, if you have anything to do, just contact Han and stay in the incense hall in Nanchang," Chen Shengwu, who heard the news and came from Guangzhou, saw Zhu Da with a haggard face in a secret place outside Shaoguan City. "Why do you have to work so hard to come to Guangli yourself?"

"The situation is urgent, Lord Chen must help." Zhu Da started talking to Chen Shengwu with hand gestures. "Nowadays, although the rebel army in Central Jiangxi still occupies several counties, the Qing army from all provinces is coming in droves. The Tartars, the traitors and the rebel army are ten times larger. Failure is imminent. I hope that Mr. Chen will come to the rescue as soon as possible for the sake of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty. .”

"My lord," Chen Shengwu called Zhu Da with the title of King Yiyang given to Zhu Da by Zheng Jianguo. "It's not that the lower officials don't want to help the rebel army in western Jiangxi, but the third prince Zhu?" Chen Shengwu sighed. "If it helps him to succeed, who is this Zhengshuo, and where is Zheng Jianguo in Dongning?"

"The reason why the Ming Dynasty was not as good as the former Song Dynasty in defending half of the south of the Yangtze River is because of the Zhengshuo dispute." Zhu Da gestured heartbroken. "Are we going to repeat the same mistakes now?" Zhu Da said bluntly to Chen Shengwu. "You and I both know what happened to the third prince Zhu, but he just used power urgently."

"If it is changed to the prince's banner" Chen Shengwu tried to say something, and saw Zhu Da stand up angrily, and suddenly realized in his heart, first, the third prince Zhu is naturally more famous than Yiyang King, and second Second, Zhu Da is obviously a counselor at most in the rebel army, and he can't control the army at all. Thinking of this, Chen Shengwu hastily persuaded him to stay. "Master, everything can be discussed." Zhu Da stopped his steps, and Chen Shengwu asked at this time. "I don't know how the master needs to be rescued by the next official?"

"Can you contact Dongning?" Zhu Da looked at Chen Shengwu expectantly. Dongning defeated the invading Qing army twice. The 10,000+ Qing army were either killed or captured. This made Zhu Da forget that the opponent was still separated from him. Thousands of mountains and rivers. "Please Zhang Guogong lead his troops to attack Zhejiang and Fujian to respond to Jiangxi, or he can sweep the south of the Yangtze River and achieve the great cause of Ming restoration in one fell swoop."

Chen Shengwu smiled wryly. Of course he understood that this was Zhu Da's delusion, not to mention that the current Dongning has no ability to use troops on the mainland at all. The hole card, but he understands it, but he can't answer Zhu Da so straightforwardly, so he pretends to be honest.

"My master doesn't know that due to the war in Qiongzhou, the Qing captives strictly guarded the coast of Guangdong, so Hanliu and Dongning have lost contact for a long time. The lower officials are also anxious to get angry, but even if Qionghai is smooth now, it is not easy to restore contact with Dongning. It can be done in two days."

Zhu Da's expression froze, obviously he did not expect such a result, but Chen Shengwu's attitude did not seem to be fake, so he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: "Then, can Hanliu mobilize troops in Guangdong to respond to Jiangxi?"

As soon as Zhu Da made this request, Chen Shengwu's face changed immediately. It was obvious that Zhu Da regarded the troops in western Jiangxi as his own capital, so he did not hesitate to let Hanliu take the chestnuts for him to share the attention of the Qing court.

"Master's request is so urgent, how can the subordinate officials arrange it calmly." Chen Shengwu politely refused. "If the army is raised in a hurry, it doesn't matter if the halls of Hanliu are exposed, and it may not be able to attract many Qing troops to aid Jiangxi." Looking at Zhu Da's disappointed expression, Chen Shengwu promised. "Officials may delay the entry of Qing troops from Guangdong into Jiangxi"

Before Chen Shengwu finished speaking, Zhu Da said angrily, "Since Han Liu has no intention of helping, the poor monk has come in vain, so I bid farewell!"

"Master! Master misunderstood." Chen Shengwu gave a deep salute to the disappointed Zhu Da. "Actually, where Hanliu was established, the lord had an account to hide for a long time, mainly to obtain information about the Qing captives, and not to organize the people to launch an uprising."

"This?" Zhu Da was dumbfounded. "What does Zhang Guogong mean by this?"

"Without it, the Qing Dynasty is powerful, and it is impossible to get together and retaliate for ten years."

Although Chen Shengwu couldn't promise Zhu Da anything, Zheng Jun's actions became more frequent after the year. On the seventh day of February, Zheng Jun's Fubo fleet bombarded Jinxia and landed in Jinmen with the second regiment of Youlongxiang Division. Forced the Qing army in Fujian Province to voluntarily withdraw from Xiamen and adjacent islands; on February 24, the Fubo fleet bombarded Tongshan and Nan'ao, and assisted the third regiment of Youlongxiang Division to land in Nan'ao to demolish the barracks abandoned by the Qing army; on February [-] On the [-]st, another Zheng army landed in Jieshi Town and looted more than ten coastal defense copper cannons; on the third day of March, the Northern Fleet bombarded Changguo and Shipu again, forcing the remnants of the Zhejiang Navy to retreat to land-although these bombardments were only a taste of the land. However, these small-scale offensives may not be the harbingers of large-scale cross-sea operations. They had to immobilize the green camps in the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, and supported the actions of the rebels in Jiangxi Province.

However, the strength of the Qing army is indeed unmatched by the rebels. On February 23, the Qing army in Hubei and Anhui provinces assisted the Green Camp in Jiangxi Province and Nanchang. In the decisive battle in Xinjian County to the north of the river, the rebel army was unable to support them after a hard fight, so they were defeated and fled. The Qing army killed more than 5000 rebels on the banks of the Gan River with less than a thousand casualties. Jiang, the tragedy is unbearable to witness.

The Xinjian World War I broke the backbone of the rebel army, and then the fighting took a turn for the worse. By the seventh day of March, ten of the eleven prefectures and counties recovered by the rebel army had fallen into the hands of the Qing army again, and the remaining 2 rebels were besieged. In the city, failure is just around the corner.At this time, Tuan Lian, the landlord who was willing to clear things up, also launched a frantic campaign against the scattered personnel of the rebel army. A large number of innocent people were brutally slaughtered, and West Jiangxi fell into a bloody storm for a while.

Just when the rebel army was at the end of its rope, Zheng Jun's Zhoushan team, which had been silent for a while, suddenly exerted its strength.Fang Xipeng commanded more than a dozen warships and more than a thousand officers and men landed from the Tongzhou (Nantong) salt field, and swept northwards across nine salt fields under the Tongzhou and Taizhou Salt Transportation Branches, killing armed salt workers, guards, and Xun soldiers. Nearly a thousand, the momentum was the same for a while.

Since the Lianghuai Salt Industry was one of the three major financial pillars of the Qing court, the attack on the salt field certainly shook the entire Liangjiang and the upper echelons of the Qing court.Kangxi issued several edicts demanding that the invading Zheng army should be wiped out immediately, but most of the green camps in Suzhou were transferred to Jiangxi and Zhejiang, and the remaining troops could not even defend Yangzhou, Huai'an, Tongzhou, Taizhou and other counties, and Jingkou and Jiangning banner camps could not Easy to mobilize, the Qing court had no choice but to order Shandong Luying to rush south for reinforcements.

But when the slow-moving Shandong and Huaibei Green Camps entered the salt area, Fangbu, which had taken a large number of kitchen households away, returned to the sea safely, leaving only the messy salt fields to the Qing army.Affected by the destruction of the saltworks and the burning of boiled salt (Note: at that time Huaibei sun-dried salt and Huainan boiled salt), the price of salt quotations soared. The original 1 cents and 300 cents after adding taxes and miscellaneous fees suddenly increased to 400 cents and 40 cents, an increase of more than [-]%.Since the price of Yanyin has risen, the price of salt at the final sales place has also skyrocketed from the original [-] yuan per catty to [-] yuan per catty.Kangxi and some central government officials of the Qing government may have paid attention to the problem of soaring salt prices, but the lower officials ignored it because of the pressure to make up for the national tax and their personal interests, and the lives of the people in the provinces were greatly affected by this. abound.

However, the actions of the Zhoushan team were of limited help to the remnants of the rebel army in western Jiangxi. On March 22, the Qing army began to attack Fenyi City.The rebels resisted desperately, and the Qing army was careless for a while, leaving nearly a thousand corpses behind, and returned in defeat.Unwilling to be defeated in the final battle, the Qing army continued to attack Fenyi day and night for the next four days, and finally captured the city of Fenyi on March [-].

In view of the tenacious resistance of the rebels during these five days, Bahunde, the general of the Qing army, ordered that the swords not be sealed after the city was broken, so the red-eyed green flag soldiers staged a tragic massacre in Fenyi City

However, the Qing army did not do their best in fact. Song Yi, the leader of the rebel army under the banner of the "Third Prince Zhu", disappeared early in the morning, and Zhu Da and other behind-the-scenes masterminds also went into hiding.Since the "Third Prince Zhu" could not be seen alive or dead, after the Qing army turned Fenyi into a dead city, they repeatedly hunted it down in western Henan, and Jiangxi Province fell into a long-term white terror

"Commander, it's not good." Early in the morning, Fang Xipeng had just woken up to wash up, when his nephew Fang Yunchun appeared anxiously in front of him. "Outside the island, a boat, Dongning's soft-sailed gunboat." The frightened Fang Xipeng didn't care to continue washing his face, dropped the wooden basin and followed Fang Yunchun up the hill behind the house in two steps. In the line of sight, the six Zheng Jun soft-sail gunboats with smooth lines have opened the dark gun windows on the side, silently covering the passage of several small boats carrying troops on the Fuchuan to and from the beach. "Commander, uncle, the Zheng family has turned their backs, tell me, what should we do?"

"Yes, Commander, what should we do now?" At this time, most of the dozen or so captains of the Zhoushan team stood on the hill and looked at everything in front of them at a loss. Hearing Fang Yunchun's question, these people They flocked around Fang Xipeng as if they had found the backbone. "Should we fight, or wait to die?"

Fang Xipeng smiled wryly. The opponent had so many guns and there was no movement in the direction of Jinji Mountain. Obviously, they were either instigated or fell into the hands of Zheng Jun. In this way, they would definitely not be able to fight, and once they fought, the Zhoushan team would stay in the east. It is self-evident what will happen to Ning's family.

While hesitating, Lin Lubin appeared out of nowhere, with a heavy face, he willingly walked over with the eyes of all the captains wanting to kill: "Commander, the Lord has an order!"

Lin Lubin looked at the stubborn people and sighed: "Let the Fubo Fleet mobilize powerful gunboats, and the Youlongxiang Division mobilize the second regiment, and go north to form the Fubo Fleet Zhoushan Squadron with the Zhoushan Squadron, and build a large Qushan Commander-in-Chief." The government presided over the strategy of northern Zhejiang and northern Jiangsu."

merger!Everyone present subconsciously thought of this word, but Lin Lubin's words were not finished: "Jin Fang Xipeng commanded the envoy, transferred to be the deputy chief instructor of the Sipin Naval Academy, appointed Yan Daoji as the commander of the Zhoushan Squadron, Appoint Zhou Yunlong as the governor of the Zhoushan Governor's Mansion"

Fang Yunchun shouted: "Commander, what should we do?"

Did Zhou Yunlong sell himself?Fang Xipeng thought for a moment, and finally he shook his head at his anxious nephew, and leaned down: "I, please obey the order of the Lord."
