Zhu Youlang was unwilling to suspect Li Dingguo, nor could he suspect Li Dingguo.

Today's situation in Nanming can be said to have been fought by Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong.

Although Zhu Youlang also played some roles, it was basically in the two years after he crossed over.

As for the indigenous lord, he is really not worthy of the status of the king of a country.

It is really appropriate to describe him as a son who ran away when he heard the wind and ran away.

Such an emperor even gave up the country and organized a group to go to Myanmar for a poor trip, which is really disgusting.

However, Zhu Youlang has really saved a lot of images in the past two years.

But this does not mean that Zhu Youlang can kick Li Dingguo away.

Not only could the ministers and soldiers not accept this, but even Zhu Youlang himself couldn't accept it in his heart.

And Da Ming really can't stand the toss anymore, and it will be difficult to save the gods if they divide it again.

So no matter what, Zhu Youlang must trust Li Dingguo, but in the matter of Li Dingguo taking the initiative to contact Zhao Xu, Zhu Youlang felt that he should really find a suitable time, and then take the initiative to sit down with Li Dingguo and chat.

The two gentlemen opened their hearts and talked about it, and there was nothing more.

Zhu Youlang really hopes that Li Dingguo can become Yue Wumu and Han Shizhong of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Youlang will definitely not be Zhao Gou, but take Han Guangwu as an example.

Although Da Ming seems to be difficult at this moment, he can still see a lot of hope.

Zhu Youlang faintly felt that the battle of Jiangxi was an important turning point, as long as the Ming army took Jiangxi, the situation would be very good, and the recovery of Jiangnan was just around the corner.

This also shows that we should not lose hope at any time, even if it is as bad as the Southern Ming Dynasty, only Sichuan and Yunnan provinces can finally turn around.

...

It was already completely dark, and Hong Chengchou returned to the governor's yamen in the city with the support of his personal guards.

Although he would love to live with the soldiers in the camp outside the city. But at this moment, it is the beginning of spring, when it is warm and cold, and the temperature is very low at night.

Hong Chengchou is old again, and it will not be beautiful if he catches the wind cold after staying in the camp for one night.

Today's fierce battle can be described as a complete defeat, which makes Hong Chengchou very disappointed.

Originally, he thought that the Ming army was only strong in firearms, and this kind of off-the-board move and the advantage of ordnance did not show that the Ming army was really strong.

But after a big war, Hong Chengchou has completely recognized the real strength comparison between the Ming army and the Qing army.

No matter in terms of ordnance and equipment, the appearance of the army, morale, and execution, the Ming army must be a step above the Qing army to varying degrees.

If you talk about the advantage of the Qing army, I am afraid that the only thing is the number of troops.

But numerical superiority won't work all the time, at least for now.

Hong Chengchou felt very tired, how could he think that the current state between the Ming and Qing dynasties was a bit like that during the Chongzhen period.

It's just that the Qing Dynasty at this time is a bit like the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period, and the Ming Dynasty at this time is a bit like the Qing Dynasty before.

Although the Qing Dynasty has an empty volume and a million male soldiers, it cannot fight in terms of the quality of soldiers.

And the Ming army, including Zheng Chenggong, has only 200,000 soldiers, but all of them can fight and even take charge on their own.

Hong Chengchou suddenly found that in addition to the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, as well as the hundreds of thousands of troops of Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jimao, the three Han opposite-sex vassal kings, the remaining hundreds of thousands of green battalion soldiers were also counted.

And the three vassal kings have their own thoughts, and they may not be willing to do their best.

Especially Wu Sangui doesn't even listen to the tune now, it's too much.

If it was more than ten years ago, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners was unparalleled in the world.

Even the most elite army of the Ming army could not match it.

But since entering the customs, the children of the Eight Banners have rapidly become corrupted.

There's no way around it.

After all, Liaodong is a bitter cold place, and when you come to the warm Guannai, facing the flower world of the Central Plains, a man will fall and become corrupt.

The combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army and even the Full Eight Banners declined at a rate visible to the naked eye. Old Friends Book House

Although the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army is still higher than that of ordinary green battalion soldiers, it may no longer have an advantage over the elite of the Ming Army.

Hong Chengchou even felt that the hard power of the Ming army was stronger than that of the Qing army.

It is still unknown who will win or lose in a real fight.

That's why Hong Chengchou is so anxious to fight a decisive battle.

The more it dragged on, the more unfavorable it was to the Qing army.

Da Ming is like a sleeping tiger, which may wake up at any time.

When the tiger of Daming woke up, Hong Chengchou really didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

If Hong Chengchou had known this, he might have gathered all his forces to cooperate with Hu Quancai to strangle the Ming army when he was in Huguang.

Even earlier, it was possible to launch an all-out attack while the Ming army was still trapped in Yunnan.

At that time, the success may be higher.

It's just that there is no regret medicine sold in this world.

Since you have missed it, you have missed it, and you can only try your best to fight the next battle well.

Now it seems that Hong Chengchou still made a mistake.

He thought that it would be enough to mobilize Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi's father and son to come to Jiangxi.

But that doesn't necessarily seem to be enough right now.

If you can transfer all the Qing troops from Zhejiang and Nanzhili, it may be a better choice.

But the matter has come to this point, Hong Chengchou can only watch the dishes and use the existing materials in his hands to fight the battle.

Maybe it's really old, Hong Chengchou feels that it's too tiring to survive this day.

Just as he was about to rest, his henchmen suddenly came to report that Zhang Chaoxuan, the governor of Jiangxi, asked to see him.

Hong Chengchou couldn't help frowning, what is this guy doing so late?

From the first moment he met Zhang Chaoxuan, Hong Chengchou had no good impression of him.

Zhang Chaoxuan is like the kind of scheming man who is very good at scheming, and he plays on the spot.

You simply don't know which of what he says is true and which is false.

Even an old fritter like Hong Chengchou, who has experienced the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, can't see through Zhang Chaoxuan.

"Call him in."

Although Hong Chengchou doesn't like Zhang Chaoxuan very much, people can still see it.

After all, Zhang Chaoxuan is the governor of Jiangxi, and theoretically speaking, Jiangxi Green Camp listens to Zhang Chaoxuan.

Although Hong Chengchou is the nominal boss of Zhang Chaoxuan, he still can't completely dictate Zhang Chaoxuan.

To put it mildly, the army brought by Hong Chengchou from Guizhou was not as large as Zhang Chaoxuan's.

Such a polite pressure on the master can easily cause serious consequences.

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Hong Chengchou has no need to offend Zhang Chaoxuan at all, at least the work on the surface must be done enough.

After a while, Zhang Chaoxuan walked into the house and arched his hand at Hong Chengchou: "Xiaguan Zhang Chaoxuan pays a visit to Hong Lao Jingluo." ”

Hong Chengchou's eyes narrowed instantaneously when he heard this.

Hong Laojing?

That's a good name.

Zhang Chaoxuan has always called Hong Chengchou Hong Jingluo.

Now it has been renamed Hong Lao Jingluo, although only one word has been added, but the artistic conception has changed greatly.

Could it be that Zhang Chaoxuan is hinting that Hong Chengchou is too old to abdicate and make way for Xian?
