Wuhu, because of the arrival of the Mongolian Second Tartar Uncle, the surname was Ming again.

After successfully defrauding Wuhu City, Qianhu Namutu and the An Jun envoy Wu Chongshan immediately sent a signal to the Zhejiang army. Soon, Zhang Huangyan, the Minister of War, stood at the head of Wuhu City again.

At this time, Zhang Huangyan swept away the confusion and despair of more than ten days ago, and was full of energy again. With the help of the Taiping Army, more than 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers who were captured by the Qing army were rescued. The navy who had collapsed in Tongling was also sent to re-connect to Wuhu by Zhang Huangyan. Now the Zhejiang army has recovered to 5,000. More than 300 boats. The Namutu Department also handed over the captured hundreds of Green Battalion soldiers and the captured ordnance to the Zhejiang Army, which have now been dispersed and distributed to the Zhejiang Army generals.

The Taiping army was not stationed in the city, but retreated outside the city after the Zhejiang army arrived. An army envoy Wu Chongshan took a few people to stay in the city and Xu Yun, who joined the Zhejiang army, worked on related matters.

After sighing at the head of the city, Zhang Huangyan came to Wuhu Fu Confucianism, first saluted at the Confucian Temple, and then turned to Minglun Hall. At this time, men, women and children in the city were crowded, and they all wanted to see this coming again. When the people saw Zhang Huangyan, they wept and complained about the suffering they suffered after the Zhejiang army retreated, and those whose relatives were killed were even more crying.

Zhang Huangyan handed over to everyone with extremely guilty guilt: "It's me, Zhang Huangyan, who is sorry for everyone! For the suffering you have suffered, I, Zhang Huangyan, will definitely get it back from the Tartars for everyone in the future! I believe that it will not be long before we will recover Nanjing!"

Most of the people did not know what the big change was going on outside, but they only knew that the Zhejiang army had called Wuhu again, so the capital Da Ming was expected to recover. Therefore, when Zhang Huang said that Nanjing could be restored, they immediately applauded.

"My fellow villagers and elders, our Ming army is a teacher of justice and will never plunder and liquidate. When I came here, I issued a strict order, and today I also solemnly announce that the livelihood of the people of Wuhu is business as usual, trading and growing crops. Yes, still do your business, my Ming army will never invade you! Of course, I also welcome everyone to join us, to restore Nanjing and kill the Tartars together!"

After talking with the common people, Zhang Huangyan talked with the gentry in the city, and at the same time met with the old man and the righteous, and arranged for the establishment of the government and the maintenance of order after the restoration of Wuhu. However, except for the anti-Qing gentry who had secretly been in contact with the Zhejiang army before, most Wuhu gentry were uneasy about Zhang Huangyan and the Zhejiang army's return, because they were afraid that the Zhejiang army would fail again.

In this regard, Zhang Huangyan told them that the Guangdong Taiping Army had recovered Jiangxi, and was now marching eastward, and would attack Nanjing in a few days. Hearing that the Ming Army of Guangdong and Guangxi had killed them, these gentry were a little reassured, but they still had reservations. After all, Zheng Jun's defeat left a deep shadow on these people. If it wasn't for the Zhe army coming back quickly, I'm afraid many of them would have to do dirty things to expose others and protect themselves.

Talking to the gentlemen in the evening, Zhang Huangyan and Wu Chongshan met at the government office to discuss the next move of the Zhejiang army.

General Wei Dalong said very excitedly: "Master Shang Shu, since Wuhu has already descended, we should cooperate with the Taiping army to attack Nanjing along the river and avenge the dead Fujian army brothers under Nanjing!"

Zhang Huangyan nodded, without the help of the Taiping army, the Zhejiang army would have long since disappeared, so he was very willing to cooperate with the Taiping army to capture Nanjing.

Wu Chongshan, who represented the Taiping Army, said: "Zhang Shangshu, the commander of my family means that the Zhejiang army should hold Wuhu and monitor the movements of the Anqing Qing army downstream and upstream, instead of attacking Nanjing along the river."

"Don't fight Nanjing?" Zhang Huangyan was stunned and asked, "Where is the Duke of Yue now?"

Wu Chongshan shook his head and did not hide it. He said the truth: "To be honest, Lord Shang Shu, I don't know the whereabouts of my commander. But one thing I can be sure of is that my commander is marching towards Nanjing at the moment."

"That's good."

Zhang Huang nodded slightly. At the moment, people in Jiangnan are undecided, and there are still many anti-Qing righteous division activities. The Taiping army will attack Nanjing at this time, and it can be twice as effective. If it is too late to wait for the Qing Dynasty to stabilize Jiangnan and re-establish an effective rule, then Much more difficult. But he thought that since the Taiping army was marching towards Nanjing, he should lead his troops along the river to cooperate with the Taiping army. Wouldn't it be easier to succeed if one was on the land and the other on the river? Why did the young prince let himself stay in Wuhu? Motionless?

Zhang Huangyan felt strange in his heart. He was about to ask Wu Chongshan, but he heard Luo Lun say, "Reporting to Master Shang Shu, Luo Lun is very young, and I don't know if I have an idea?"

Luo Lun, courtesy name Zimu, from Anhui Province, was the clan nephew of Luo Yunzhang, a fierce general under Zhang Mingzhen, Marquis of Dingxi. In order to restore the great cause of Ming Dynasty, he went to various places to inspect the situation of mountains and rivers. Zheng Chenggong stationed troops in Guazhou, and he rushed to Zhenjiang to see the changes; Zhang Huangyan went to Nanjing first, and he chased along the river. Returning from this, but continued to come to find the Zhejiang army alone, and found the Zhejiang army in Wuwei in Jiangbei. This person is a chivalrous person, and he speaks bluntly and without concealment. Zhang Huangyan is quite valued, and he has been consulted from time to time along the way. Xu Yungeng, who joined the army, also values ​​him.

"Zimu, please speak." Zhang Huangyan smiled at Luo Lun and encouraged him to speak his mind boldly.

Luo Lun said: "I think Zhejiang is the gateway to Jiangxi and Fujian. If you can control Zhejiang, in addition to echoing with the Taiping Army in Jiangxi, you will be able to connect with Jinsha, so I think Lord Shangshu should split a branch and choose a major general. Leading the advance into Guangde and Xin'an, and attacking the Qing army in Zhejiang by surprise, this will not only connect Jiangxi and Fujian, but also block Zhejiang and Nanjing, so that when the Taiping army attacks Nanjing, there will be no reinforcements from Zhejiang."

"What Zimu said is very true. At present, in addition to defending Wuhu and monitoring the movements of the upstream Anqing and downstream Qing troops, we must also recruit troops to advance in Chizhou. Guangde; an army entered Ningguo to take Xin'an and completely stabilize the upper reaches of Nanjing, what do you think?"

Wu Chongshan recognized Zhang Huangyan's idea. The order he received before was to bring the remnants of the Zhejiang army to Wuhu, and use the navy of the Zhejiang army to monitor the movements of the Qing army upstream and downstream, and there were no other orders. Although Zhang Huangyan's deployment will weaken the defense force of Wuhu to a certain extent, it can occupy a larger territory and block the Qing army in Zhejiang. If it progresses smoothly, it will definitely reduce the pressure of the main force moving eastward, so he naturally did not reason against.

Joining the army Xu Yungeng and the chief soldier Guo Faguang also had no opinion, and Zhang Huangyan decided on the spot. When everyone got up to leave, Zhang Huangyan also felt hungry, so he asked his personal soldiers to get him some food, and pulled Luo Lun, his old nephew, to sit down and eat together. While they were eating, the personal soldiers led a monk to come, and that monk was the Songyin monk who had previously traveled to Xuancheng to convey to Zhang Huangyan the news of Zheng Jun's defeat under Nanjing City.

After listening to what the monk Songyin said, Zhang Huangyan sighed: "I don't want Yanping to leave like this."

The monk Songyin also shook his head and sighed. Before he came, he only said that Zhang Shangshu was at the end of the road. If Prince Zheng doesn't leave, there is still much to be done about this Jiangnan matter.

Remembering what a friend asked, Monk Songyin asked Zhang Shangshu, "I don't know if Luo Lun Luo is in the army of Lord Shangshu."

"Master, I am Luo Lun, what's the matter with Master?" Luo Lun got up in confusion.

Seeing the person he was looking for was in front of him, Monk Songyin couldn't help laughing. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Luo Lun: "This is the letter your uncle asked me to bring to you."

Luo Lun hurriedly took the letter and read it, it was indeed written by his uncle Luo Yunzhang. In the letter, Luo Yunzhang told his nephew that Prince Zheng had withdrawn from Chongming and decided to attack Dongfan after returning to Jinsha, so that if his nephew found Zhang Shangshu, he would go back with him.

"The sky is not tired of chaos, and my southern capital has collapsed. Looking at the picture of He Tingbin's entry into Taiwan, the fertile fields are thousands of miles, and the wages and taxes are hundreds of thousands, enough to build boats. It was recently occupied by the red barbarians. The barbarians in the city, Not more than a thousand people. I want to conquer Taiwan, thinking that it is a fundamental place to settle the family of generals, without any worries, and can learn lessons."

In the letter, Luo Yunzhang wrote down the reason why Prince Zheng told his subordinate to fight Dongfan. After Luo Lun read it to Zhang Huangyan, the latter was silent for a moment and asked Luo Lun, "Did your uncle mention when Yanping left his apprenticeship?"

Luo Lun said: "I will go to Penghu first to check the wind direction, it should be in March next year."

"Da Su, the thief, was vicious and forced the coastal people to migrate to the mainland. Zheng Yanping's money and food supplies were greatly affected. This trip to the north to the river has exhausted his savings for many years. I think Jinsha is unable to make ends meet, so he went to Taiwan for this purpose."

Luo Lun was worried: "It is understandable if it competes with Hongyi for commercial patents and collects food and salaries to relieve military use. What I am afraid of is that King Yanping will withdraw from the Yangtze River now, and will withdraw from the Minhai Sea in the future!...As I see it. , Lord Zheng will return to the division immediately, and then enter the Yangtze River, so that the Taiping Army can rely on the army, how can Nanjing not be able to win."

Zhang Huangyan pondered for a while, and said, "In this way, I will write a poem and send it to Yanping." After speaking, he asked his own soldiers to bring pen and ink and wrote a poem on the spot.

Poem says:

"When the Central Plains are fighting for the deer, He Xia asks Hongliang; if you want to win the victory of Nanming, let's talk about flying with Beiyan.

Limulus sails fall out of the sky, Shrimp Island is in the middle of the water; Yingxiao Qinghe is a guest, the loser is Wangyang. "

The poem "Qinghe Ke" uses the allusions of Li Calyx and Yan Zhenqing. During the Anshi Rebellion of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Heshuo and other places were captured, but Yan Zhenqing was the only one who persisted in Pingyuan County. Li Cai, a young man in his twenties in Qinghe County, met Yan Zhenqing and persuaded him to take Qinghe County as the foundation. He said: "The prince advocates righteousness, and the princes of Hebei counties consider the Great Wall." , I hope that Zheng Chenggong will suspend his return to Jinxia and come back first to cooperate with the Taiping army to capture Nanjing. As long as Nanjing is won, are you still afraid of shortage of money and food?

Luo Lun and Monk Songyin read Zhang Huangyan's poem once, and the latter said worriedly, "Prince Zheng has always been quite assertive, can this poem by Shangshu make him change his mind?"

Zhang Huangyan said to Songyin: "You go to see Chen Yonghua first. He has always been paying attention to the money and grain trade~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to support soldiers and supplies, and Prince Zheng trusts him very much. You try to ask him to make sure that you can see Lord Zheng. Remember, don’t cry when you meet each other, Yanping likes to be decisive and bright, you have to seize the opportunity to repeatedly state the great changes in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and tell Yanping that the Taiping army is advancing eastward to Nanjing, which is our great opportunity to seize the southern capital again and recover the Jiangnan!”

Song Yin nodded in agreement. Zhang Huangyan said again: "I will ask the old Wang Zhongxiao and others to persuade them again, but the so-called do your best, listen to the will of heaven!"

"The emperor pays off, and the Buddha will bless Daming."

Monk Songyin recited the Buddha's name, put away Zhang Huangyan's poems in his clothespin pocket, and left in a hurry. Zhang Huangyan was not allowed to leave him to eat.

After Song Yin left, Luo Lun also sighed and sat down with Zhang Huangyan to continue eating. After eating for a while, Luo Lun put down his chopsticks, frowned and said, "Lord Shang Shu, I suddenly have a feeling that the commander of the Taiping Army wants you to stay in Wuhu. It seems that he has the intention of using him as a bait."

Hearing this, Zhang Huangyan was stunned, and immediately chuckled: "If I can attract the Qing soldiers from Nanjing so that the Duke of Yue can succeed, it will be death, and there will be no regrets."
