The Jiangning Governor's Yamen was originally the famous Heshan Academy in Suzhou. It was changed to the Yamen Office during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty changed the Ming Nanzhili to Jiangnan Province, it established Jiangning Governor in Suzhou, which was in charge of prefectures and counties such as Suzhou, Songjiang, Jiangning, Huai'an, and Yangzhou.

After Jiang Guozhu returned to Suzhou from Jiangning, he was busy regaining lost territory and monitoring the pirates who had not yet withdrawn from Chongming. On September 12, Jiang Guozhu, who was taking time to listen to the opera with Suzhou Prime Minister Yan Shaoqing, received this news that caught him off guard.

Yan Shaoqing was also frightened. This man said that he was very loyal to the Qing Dynasty. In the tenth year of Shunzhi, when Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan entered the Yangtze River three times, the yamen runners in Shanghai County wanted to hold Yan Shaoqing hostage, but they were threatened by the Ming Dynasty several times. Yan Shaoqing refused to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Later, Jiangning Governor Zhou Guozuo led his troops to arrive, and Yan Shaoqing saved his life. Because he refused to surrender to the thief, Jiang Guozhu, who was transferred to Jiangnan to replace Zhou Guozuo, specially recommended Yan Shaoqing to the position of Suzhou prefect to the Qing court.

When the Zheng army came, many officials of Suzhou Prefecture had an affair with the Zheng army, but Yan Shaoqing firmly believed that the Zheng army could not take over Nanjing, so he ordered the city gate to be strictly guarded. No one could be allowed to come out of the city, and no one could be allowed to enter outside the city. When the Zheng army was defeated at Nanjing, all the officials and gentry in the city admired the prefect's unique vision and knew that the pirate was unreliable. Then someone advised Yan Shaoqing, saying that Qian Qianyi was very active when the pirates came, and acted as a lobbyist for the Zheng thief and was the lock. Yan Shaoqing was moved, but he did not dare to take action because Qian Qianyi was not only the leader of the literary world in Jiangnan, but also had a personal relationship with Lang Tingzuo, the governor of Liangjiang. Therefore, he did not dare to do this to offend the scholars and scholars of Jiangnan without the clear instructions of the Governor's Office.

Guan Xiaozhong led his troops to Kunshan at this time. Jiang Guozhu had no soldiers, so he immediately sent someone to inform Guan Xiaozhong of the news and asked him to bring troops back to defend Suzhou immediately. In addition, Jiang Guozhu asked Yan Shaoqing to go to Changzhou in person and asked Liang Huafeng to defend Changzhou no matter what.

After Yan Shaoqing arrived in Changzhou, he not only saw Liang Huafeng, but also saw the Grand Secretary’s forehead with a black forehead. Liang Huafeng received news that Nanjing was lost earlier than Jiang Guozhu and Yan Shaoqing, because one of his troops was attacked by the Taiping Army in Jintan. The troops left in Zhenjiang were also eliminated by the Taiping Army, and only a dozen people fled back.

Knowing that Nanjing was lost, Liang Huafeng was nowhere to be so bright that he could not understand how the Taiping Army ran to Nanjing and how to seize this majestic city.

Liang Huafeng didn't understand, and even more so. When he left Jiangning, Prince An Yue Le personally led a large army to suppress Zhejiang invaders. In just a few days, Nanjing was lost and Yue Le was captured. He had just taken out the emperor's secret decree to Liang Huafeng, but he had not yet set off to Suzhou to give another secret decree to Guan Guan for loyalty.

The black-faced asked Liang Huafeng if he could regain Nanjing and save Prince An. Liang Huafeng's answer disappointed him. Liang Huafeng clearly stated that he had less than 5,000 soldiers in his hands. If he defended the city, he could still maintain it, but what should he do to attack the city? The army of Zheng pirates and bandits failed to take Nanjing, let alone him? Besides, Zhenjiang has been recovered by the Taiping Army. If he wants to take Nanjing, he must first take Zhenjiang. Otherwise, he was caught by the Taiping Army in Zhenjiang before he arrived in Nanjing. He was attacked by the two sides. He was not a divine weapon and general, so how could he hold on?

Eh Hei had no choice, so he asked Liang Huafeng what to do now. Liang Huafeng said that the most urgent task was to take the eight thousand soldiers in Guan Qizhen's hands, so that he would have the ability to defend Jiangnan and persist until the emperor's army arrived. Eh Hei thought about it and agreed to do it like this. Anyway, the emperor had issued an order to ask Liang Huafeng to capture Guan Qizhen. But Eh Hei also had one concern, that is, once Liang Huafeng took Guan Qizhen, what should Ma Fengzhi in Songjiang do? This man is a fence-bearer. If he knew that Nanjing was occupied by the Ming army, he would definitely rebel. Without Guan Qizhen, he would be restrained, and Jiangnan could not be protected.

Liang Huafeng said, "There is no need to worry about Ma Fengzhi. Even if he rebels and surrenders to Ming, he will never have the courage to attack him. It is very likely that he will continue to wait and see just like the last time the pirate entered the river.

There was no better way to go, so he agreed to Liang Huafeng's request, preparing to lie to Guan Qizhen from Suzhou. When he was discussing how to coax Guan Qizhen to come, Yan Shaoqing rushed from Suzhou.

Yan Shaoqing conveyed Jiang Guozhu's intention to ask Liang Huafeng to defend Changzhou. Liang Huafeng did not argue, and asked Yan Shaoqing to return and let Guan Xiaozhong lead his troops to Changzhou. The two armies worked together to regain Nanjing. Even if they could not be taken back, they could defend Changzhou with the joint efforts of the two armies.

He was a Cabinet Grand Secretary and a Manzhou native. He was the highest official in Jiangnan at this moment. Yan Shaoqing did not dare to agree to his words and rushed back to Suzhou. However, in Lucheng Town, which borders Changzhou and Suzhou, Yan Shaoqing accidentally learned from several Manzhou soldiers who ran out of Nanjing that the court had issued an order to capture Guan Qizhen and Jiang Guozhu.

This news surprised Yan Shaoqing. He did not doubt it, because these soldiers were indeed Manzhou, and one of them was Goshha of Prince An Yuele. After they escaped from Nanjing, they arrived in Yixing. They were going to Changzhou to find the Grand Secretary. When they thought about the fact that the Nether Hei and Liang Huafeng asked him to Guan Qixian to Changzhou, Yan Shaoqing still didn't understand that this was the banquet for going out to Hongmen. Guan Qixian came to Changzhou and would definitely be taken down, and his troops would be accepted by Liang Huafeng.

Yan Shaoqing was upset and hesitated. He didn't know if he told Jiang Guozhu about this news. After all, it was Jiang Guozhu who promoted him from the magistrate of Shanghai to the magistrate of Suzhou, and he promised to protect him as the governor of Jiangning in the future. In this way, he would have the opportunity to serve as the governor of Jiangning for a few more years. But once Jiang Guozhu was arrested, he would lose the backstage and would probably be implicated. Even the magistrate of Suzhou could not do it. After thinking about it, Yan Shaoqing decided to tell Jiang Guozhu about this news, and he bet on Jiang Guozhu and Guan Xiaozhong. Because Liang Huafeng's troops were not more troops than Guan Xiaozhong, and the Taiping Army was going to march into Jiangnan, the first one to attack was Liang Huafeng. If Liang Huafeng was defeated, the only thing the court could rely on in Jiangnan would be Guan Xiaozhong and Jiang Guozhu. At that time, the court would not talk about secret orders to take over people, but would rely on Jiang and Guan the two.

Being an official in the Qing Dynasty was far from enough to be loyal, and this backstage was even more important. Yan Shaoqing made up his mind and hurried back to Suzhou. As soon as he entered the city, he entered the governor's yamen.

After hearing what Yan Shaoqing said, Jiang Guozhu looked ashen and sat in the hall for a long time. However, his expression remained unchanged. He asked Yan Shaoqing to monitor the people below and not let anyone have any abnormal movement.

Guan Qizhong rushed back to Suzhou at a quick horse and entered the city late at night. After a secret discussion between the Governor's Yamen and Jiang Guozhu, he returned to Kunshan at dawn. Then several generals of the generals were secretly removed and led the army directly back to Suzhou City.

Ma Fengzhi from Songjiang learned that Guan Xiaozhong led his troops back to Suzhou, and was quite puzzled, not knowing what Guan Xiaozhong's move meant. Since Guan Xiaozhong led his troops to Kunshan, Ma Fengzhi has been wary of Guan's ministry and always felt that the Qing court would settle accounts with him after the autumn. Even if he sold his strength at the last moment, the Zheng army could not gain a foothold in Chongming, the Qing court would still have to settle accounts.

These days, Ma Fengzhi didn't know how he came here. He was worried and hopeful every day. After asking Zheng to surrender to the Qing court but failed, Ma Fengzhi worked even more and sent his navy to attack the Zheng army around Chongming twice, and both sides suffered losses. But even so, he was always unstable, afraid that Guan Xiaozhen would suddenly lead the army and run.

Now Guan Xiaozhong suddenly withdrew his troops back to Suzhou without saying a word. Ma Fengzhi had to figure it out, otherwise he would not be able to sleep. Without asking him to wait for long, the news of Nanjing being revived by the Taiping Army reached the Songjiang Military Camp.

After Ma Fengzhi was dazed, he laughed, and the clouds that had been shrouded in his face for several days disappeared. He knew that this time, the Qing court could no longer settle his own accounts. He would be able to place a bet again and get the best interests.

Qian Qianyi's third letter this year was secretly delivered to Ma Fengzhi. In the letter, Qian Qianyi asked Ma Fengzhi to return to the clarity immediately, but Ma Fengzhi did not give any reply to the people sent by Qian Qianyi, and only said that he would allow him to think about it for a few days.

Ma Fengzhi had no time to think about it, because just that night, several Taiping troops who came secretly from Nanjing entered his military camp.

Luo Lun, representing Zhou Shixiang and Zhang Huangyan, told Ma Fengzhi that if the Ma tribe was right, he would immediately ask the supervisor to grant his Duke a title, and he would not need to deal with Guan Qizhong and Liang Huafeng. He would just send troops to Zhejiang to attack eastern Zhejiang to restrain Zhao Guozuo, the governor of Qing, Fujian and Zhejiang, and Tong Guoqi, the governor of Zhejiang. Luo Lun finally told Ma Fengzhi very clearly that if he could restore the entire province of Zhejiang, Zhejiang would return to the Ma tribe to support the troops.

Ma Fengzhi did not ask him what the Taiping Army would do if he had not returned to the clarity anyway, because he knew that he had no choice. The conditions that Zhou Shi promised was very attractive, too tempting. The Duke of the State was false and Zhejiang was real.

Ma Fengzhi believed that he might not be the opponent of Guan Xiaozhong and Liang Huafeng, but he was not afraid of Zhao Guozuo and Tong Guoqi. In his opinion, the Qing army in Zhejiang was now a dog, and he would be too sorry for him if he didn't beat them. After Nanjing was in the middle of the reign of Ming Dynasty, the momentum of the Shunzhi army was in Jiangbei. Ma Fengzhi believed that the Qing court could no longer be involved in Jiangnan. In the worst case, the situation of the Ming and Qing Dynasties was formed.

Ma Fengzhi took action and led his troops from Songjiang Jinshan to Jiaxing Prefecture, Zhejiang. He felt like he was entering a place where no one was. Wherever he went, all the prefecture and county officials surrendered. It took only eleven days to reach Qiantang River.

This summer, Zhejiang has been drought and rainy for a long time, and the Qiantang River has dried up and flowed thinly. Ma Fengzhi believed that someone was bathing in the river, and the water was deeper than the horse's belly. So he ordered two groups of troops, one was composed of the main horse and infantry, and waded across the river from Tongxing to attack in large numbers; the other was composed of navy troops and advanced from the coast of Zhapu, Pinghu.

The Qiantang River defense line deployed by the Qing Zhejiang Governor Tong Guoqi suddenly collapsed. The Qing army in Zhejiang lost more than 3,000 people, and the rest fled one after another. On October 14, Tong Guoqi fled back to Hangzhou City under the protection of the Han army. Zhao Guozuo, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, heard that Tong Guoqi was defeated, was panicked and mobilized the Qing army in Shaoxing, Ningbo and other places and the Eight Banners of Hangzhou Manzhou to defend Hangzhou.

Jiangnan, Guan Qizhong led his troops into Suzhou, and together with Jiang Guozhu, he refused to go to Changzhou on the grounds that Ma Fengzhi was in chaos. Esehehe and Liang Huafeng knew that the news might leak, and Guan Qizhong and Jiang Guozhu had already become wary of them. Without Guan Qizhong's eight thousand soldiers, Guan Qizhong, who had only more than 4,000 soldiers left, was also in peace in Changzhou day and night. Now the only thing he and Esehehe could do was wait for the arrival of the emperor's army. Fortunately, the Taiping Army did not send troops to attack Changzhou after occupying Zhenjiang, which made Guan Qizhong and Jiang Guozhu shrank in Suzhou, and their idea of ​​using the Taiping Army to get rid of Liang Huafeng with the hand of the Taiping Army was dashed. Now, Liang Huafeng is like the gate god of Suzhou. With him, Suzhou would be in danger, but Suzhou would not want him to die.

The situation in Zhenjiang, Changzhou and Suzhou is so rare that it calms down, which is very strange. Everyone in the three sides is enemies, but no one in the three sides is willing to take action. Look at him, he looks at you, staring at you.

Shunzhi came from Xuzhou at the end of September, and Jiangbei Daying was established on the third day of October. However, after the establishment of the Daying, Liang Huafeng from Changzhou could not wait for the news that the army crossed the river. Jiang Guozhu and Guan Qizhong from Suzhou prayed every day to the emperor's army not to cross the river.

In the city of Zijing, the Queen Mother Bumubutai issued an order to copy Yue Le's family to his son, and changed the name of the prince to Aqina very dissatisfied.

When writing about the scholar Shi Yuanling, the book review was very popular; when writing about supporting the king of Tang, the book review was even more dissatisfied; now writing about Yongli’s return to China and Qian Qianyi’s deeds, many book friends broke out again.

What I want to say is that Yongli's return to China was a reasonable result of deduction based on the situation and plot. Although this person's existence is a big nail, it is not a problem for scholars who are determined to support the King of Tang. Yongli should consider more about how Wu Sangui treats him. The emperor of Yongli is a person who can't get around writing this history. Some people don't like him (such as scholars), some swear to defend him to the death (such as Li Dingguo and Wen Anzhi), some people worship Yang as him (such as Zheng Chenggong), and some people use him (such as Sun Kewang, Wu Sangui now), and others are invincible in the past. They are not just seeking the pleasure of being ignorant. They are invincible in themselves and self-painting, and they imagine how to develop out of thin air and how to dominate the world. But we should pay attention to the original nature of history and deduction, even if the result of deduction will make people feel uncomfortable and unhappy at a certain period of time, they should write it out.

This is history, or history in novels.

As for Qian Qianyi, I just wrote it directly according to history, without exaggeration, without exaggeration, nor without belittlement.

No one is perfect. The history of the Southern Ming Dynasty is full of repetition, such as Li Chengdong, Jin Shengheng, etc., whose hands are covered with blood from the Han people, but they died under the sword of the Qing sabers. In the Taiping Army, it can be said that nine out of ten people have been stained with blood from the Han people. It is the scholar himself, who is limited by conditions and has also acknowledged the Taiping Army's massacre of Chaozhou people and indulged in the poisoning of Hunan people.

The characters written by the bones are mostly just writing about the closest to the original appearance of the times, such as politics, human nature, and morality. We cannot force the people of that era to reach the moral height we know today, which is unrealistic. If we write according to the values ​​and moral values ​​we think, it is really everyone should kill them.

History, what happened originally, I want to write; what didn’t happen, I’m writing too.

Finally, I recommend a book by the author's friend, "A Life of Wealth"

The rich are richest, the world is rich; the noble are the most noble ministers.
