Wu Zheng smiled, stretched out his other hand and pressed it on the back of Ma Shiying's hand, and said, "Old Ma, didn't you say it before, what you want to be the official the most is to be a staff member by my side, and now, you got your wish." ”

Ma Shiying grabbed Wu Zheng's hand with his backhand and said, "Lord Wang, what you said is true, but the process shouldn't be like this...... Anyway, this time you owe me, and I have to make up for a certain horse in the future. ”

"Owe?" Wu Zheng looked at Ma Shiying strangely, "Zheng Erpin? ”

"Uh...... Ma made a mistake and asked the prince to forgive him. Ma Shiying quickly realized that he had committed a taboo, and the word "owed" was used incorrectly.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zheng laughed and said: "If you really don't forget your original intention, is it the second grade?" It's small! ”

Ma Shiying was stunned and looked at Mo Zhinian.

The three of them looked at each other and laughed.

"There is something that I still can't think about clearly, if the abolished emperor really used his life to defile the name of the prince in order to consolidate the foundation of the Ming family, then when today's son knows or doesn't know?"

Ma Shiying said: "Originally, Ma thought that the emperor had always been benevolent and righteous, and he might not know it, but then he designed to drive the prince out of Beijing, and he must have known it. ”

"But if the emperor knows, he should let the prince stay for half a month and a month, and let this matter expand and ferment, so as to create a greater momentum." Don't be obsessed with frowning.

Ma Shiying was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Actually, it is not difficult to guess that the emperor originally thought that the prince would not obey the commandment, at least it would drag on for a few days, so that there would be enough time for this matter to ferment...... How could she have thought that the prince was wise, and he thought of a countermeasure at the first time, and left Beijing overnight without saying anything. The prince's departure from Beijing naturally shows that he has no intention of touching the supreme position, and now who can say that the abolished emperor was forced to death by the prince? Naturally, the spearhead turned to the current emperor...... Hehe, this is called being smart but being mistaken by being smart, stealing chickens does not make ...... rice. ”

Wu Zheng and Mo Zhinian looked at Ma Shiying with strange faces.

Ma Shiying blinked his eyes, and then realized his inconsistency, and suddenly blushed and said, "Ma has never said anything, the prince is wrong this time, just say that he feels aggrieved...... cough, in Ma's heart, the prince has always been a wise and martial ....... ”

"Okay, Ma Yaocao, stop slapping on the back...... Look at the goosebumps on my body....... ”

……。

Not to mention that Wu Zheng "quietly" left Beijing and returned to Hangzhou, taking advantage of the rare "peace" time, he made the people of the thirteen prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Great General's Mansion recuperate, develop internal affairs, rectify the army, and expand the military industry.

To the north, the Qing court also ushered in continuous good news after Dolgon's "return of the feathers".

First of all, Qian Qiaogong's spear cavalry battalion defeated the main force of Wusong's water division in Tianjinwei, with more than 300 leaders (in fact, Dengzhou was suppressed by the Ministry of Finance), forcing back Wusong's water division.

Then Shen Zhiyuan's musket battalion cooperated with Azig to annihilate the main cavalry force of the Sunit tribe in the northern desert of the grassland, completely quelling the rebellion of the Sunit tribe, and then about 8,000 men of the Sunit tribe were slaughtered, and about 5,000 women and children were sent to Shuntianfu to offer prisoners, and the Sunit tribe was almost wiped out. The rebellion was quelled, but the tyranny of the Qing army also planted a thorn in the hearts of the Mongolian tribes.

But the biggest good news is the big victory from the southwest and northwest.

With the division of He Tengjiao, the governor of Nanming Huguang, the governor of Hubei, and the remnants of the Dashun army, He Tengjiao and the two departments of Yinxi were successively defeated by the Qing army and died.

The Yongli Dynasty had to move further west to Guizhou.

The remnants of the Dashun Army, Hao Shaoqi, and Liu Tichun's troops could only retreat to southern Sichuan, and began to intersect with the remnants of the Great Western Army.

The Qing army once again occupied the west of Hunan and the whole of Guangxi.

Zheng Chenggong, who had previously sent people to Wu Zheng to propose a joint encirclement and suppression of southern Zhejiang and Fujian, also suffered the biggest fiasco since he opposed the Qing Dynasty.

After the fall of Longwujin two years ago (1647), Zheng Chenggong avoided Kinmen, recruited troops and horses in various coastal areas, and incorporated his father's old troops, and only raised thousands of troops in South Australia.

After that, Zheng Chenggong gathered more than 60,000 troops in Xiaojinmen and swore against the Qing Dynasty in the name of "loyalty and filial piety to the general's guilty ministers".

After that, Zheng Chenggong and his younger brother Zheng Cai attacked Haicheng with an army of 20,000, not wanting to be defeated by the Qing defenders who were less than 10,000 people.

In the following month, Zheng Chenggong and his uncle and Zheng Hongkui's troops jointly surrounded Quanzhou Mansion, which was less than 6,000 defenders, and after a long time, Zheng Chenggong was defeated and retreated because Wang Jin, the general of Zhangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, led reinforcements to reinforce.

A few years ago, after receiving the allegiance of Lu Ruoteng, the former governor of Zhejiang in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and others returned, Zheng Chenggong also accumulated strength again, and originally wanted to unite with Wu Zheng to attack the Qing army in Fujian and southern Zhejiang, but unfortunately was rejected by Wu Zheng.

Zheng Chenggong was angry, led the army to attack, at first it was quite smooth, easily conquered Tong'an, attacked Quanzhou Fucheng again, attacked for a month, or could not be captured, at this time, Chen Tai, the general of Jingnan of Qingjing, Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and Zhao Guozuo, the governor of Fujian, led the troops to besiege Wei to save Zhao, besieged Zheng Chenggong behind Tong'an, and the Zheng army guarding Tong'an was invincible, and the generals, soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded innumerable.

The back road was copied, and Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to abandon Quanzhou and retreat to the sea.

At this time, when Wu Zheng led the Zhoushan Naval Division to Fuzhou to rescue Emperor Longwu, Li Chengdong, who had already surrendered to Longwu, rebelled again, and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty again with the Ming army under his jurisdiction.

Kong Youde, the king of the south of Qingding, led an army of 20,000 troops, along Hengzhou, Yongzhou, Quanzhou, and Xing'an, all the way invincible, such as entering a no-man's land, until Guilin guarded.

The Qing army reoccupied the entire territory of Guangdong.

Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, occupied Liping by Baoqing, Wugang, and Jingzhou.

Due to the fact that the loyal battalion was absorbed by Wu Zheng, it withdrew from Hunan and Jiangxi, and in the southern king of Qingping in Hubei, Shang Kexi's department, went south through Changsha, Chenzhou and Wuzhou until the army came to the city of Nanning.

Since then, Zheng Chenggong's connection with the Yongli Dynasty has been cut off, and the only places under his jurisdiction are the vicinity of Xiamen, southern Fujian and the nearby islands, and the army under his command has been drastically reduced to less than 30,000.

With such a war situation, the Qing court finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the sword hanging over its head was no longer so urgent.

The goal of dominating the world has revealed the dawn of victory.

Due to the signing of an armistice and non-aggression pact with the Yixing Dynasty, the Qing court began to turn around and increase troops to the northwest and southwest.

The Xuzhou garrison, which had not suffered major damage, took King Nikan of Jingjin County as the main general, and Karchuhun, who had been redeemed back, as the deputy general, and rushed all the way to Gansu in the northwest, preparing to quell the Milayin and Ding Guodong Hui uprisings that broke out last year.

At the same time, Wu Sangui, who had stopped in Xi'an to Hanzhong and passively slackened the battle, cooperated with Meng Qiaofang's troops to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Dashun and Daxi armies in central Sichuan.

At this time, if on the map, Wuchang is the origin, and a vertical line is drawn from north to south, then the east is already "peaceful", and the war in the west is burning more violently, and it is half sea water and half flames.
