Compared with Tong Guoqi's optimism, it would be a lie for Shunzhi to say that he did not have a trace of illusion, but if he believed everything, he would never be like this.

has been on the throne for 12 years, and has been in power for six years, and some things in the court are no longer as simple as when they were just in power. Tong Guoqi is the slave of the Han military banner, and the Tong family is also a family that is extremely close to the Aixin Jueluo royal family, but since the fall of Fujian, Tong Guoqi has gathered those civil and military generals who have withdrawn from Fujian in the surrounding places of Fujian, and Liu Qingtai, who is now idle in the capital. They fed a lot of pro-nobles with a lot of silver and were willing to protect them, and even he couldn't ignore the opinions of those pro-nobles - after all, it was only the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and the peak of the centralized system of the Manchu Qing was too far to be seen.

Whether the content of Tong Guoqi's recital is consistent with his heart is still two words, at least Shunzhi doesn't think that Tong Guoqi and their former Fujian Wenwu Association are really optimistic to the point of recital. Even since the beginning of the Ming army in Fujian, he has been spitting on the incompetence and stupidity of these civil and military forces, and he doesn't think they can really be stupid to this point.

This is more of a rhetoric, and at the same time, it is also looking for a new theoretical growth point for their earlier behavior of fleeing from Fujian without fighting a big war - at that time, Liu Qingtai and Tong Guoqi claimed that they had separated the relationship between Zheng Chenggong and Chen Kai, and the Zheng group would soon split. But now, more than a year later, the Zheng Group is still not split, but is still expanding.

"This time, they have found a plausible one. It's just that I don't know that when Haikou and Chen Wei really break up, Zhejiang and Jiangxi will still not be in the Qing Dynasty. ”

With a sigh, Shunji closed the fold again and ignored it. The next few notes were innocuous things, and he looked at them hastily and threw them aside. Sure enough, the elegant voice once again reminded him not to miss important matters, and the small appearance of trembling while boldly admonishing really made him even more happy when he was used to seeing rough women.

His mother, however, did not like her.

Shunzhi's two queens were both born from his mother's Borzigit clan, one of his mother's nieces and his cousin, and the other was his cousin's niece and his niece. These two women, the former was arranged for him by Dolgon, and as soon as Dolgon died, he took control of the court and was directly deposed; And the latter, which he personally chose at the time, liked it, and probably couldn't stand it for a month, if it wasn't for his mother's strong opposition, probably he would have followed in the footsteps of the former at that time.

In the harem, the women of the Borzigit family are naturally the most grouped, just like his mother-in-law and his biological mother's team of aunts and nephews are examples. In addition, two years ago, one of his side concubines named Tong Jiashi gave birth to a prince named Xuan Ye, and his mother said that when the woman went out after asking for peace, she vaguely saw a dragon surrounding her, and said that she was also the same when she was pregnant with him. Now, the one who is most favored by his mother is that Tong Jia.

Thinking of Tong Jia's family, Shunzhi couldn't help but think of Tong Guoqi and the Fujian war again, and he was bored again. I absentmindedly looked at the two memoranda, but a new memora was sent outside the hall. As soon as he saw the source of the song, Shunzhi immediately dropped the fold he had just opened and concentrated on it. It's just that the more he looks at it, the more he doubts his previous opinion, whether his view of Tong Guoqi's performance is biased.

"Sun Li is like a thief, maybe, Zheng Chen Erwei will be like this."

Nanming is accustomed to corrupting state affairs due to internal strife, and in this regard, the various forces in Nanming have a deep understanding, and the Qing court has tasted the sweetness again and again. Shunzhi followed the model of Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, and put it on Zheng Chenggong and Chen Kai, and suddenly found that he seemed to be able to really sit in the right seat as Tong Guoqi said - Sun Kewang controlled the administrative system and the front army of Yungui, and Li Dingguo had his own headquarters of soldiers and horses; Similarly, Zheng Chenggong holds the military power, and Chen Kai will be slightly weaker in this regard, but Chen Kai has an extremely strong force in the administrative system of the Zheng Group, and the military also has many supporters, and then recall that Liu Qingtai, Tong Guoqi and the two ministers of Xuanzhao in Fujian said that Chen Kai is the leader of the main battle faction, such as Ke Chenshu, Xiao Gongchen, Li Jianjie and a large number of generals in Guangdong all support Chen Kai.

The problems of Zheng Chenggong and Chen Kai are not too prominent now, and Shunzhi has only begun to change some views after reading the twists and turns. However, if things in Guizhou are really as Hong Chengchou said, it may not be long before large-scale infighting breaks out in Yunnan and Guizhou, and this is the best time for the Qing court.

"The question is, when will the two thieves start fighting?"

At the beginning of July of the tenth year of Yongli, Shunzhi looked forward to the further outbreak of Sun Li's infighting in Beijing, as did Hong Chengchou, who was far away in Changsha, Hunan.

It has been a few months since the war involving several provinces ended, and Chen Kai was not idle during this period, and he was not idle either. He asked for the mobilization of troops, the formation and recovery of troops, and the consolidation of the defensive line, and at the same time he did not forget to send more detailed work to various places in order to obtain as much and more timely information as possible. Guangdong, naturally, is the top priority, because Chen Kai's threat to him and the Qing court has become more and more great. However, what he needs to guard against is not just a Chen Kai, there are more forces that need his attention, such as Zheng Chenggong in Fujian, Wen Anzhi in Kuidong, and Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo in Yungui. The latter, in particular, requires greater attention.

The content of the twist and turn is the news from Yungui near the end of the war, saying that Li Dingguo took the Yongli Emperor to occupy Yunnan without blood, and this is the reason why Sun Kewang did not jump out to make trouble during the fight between him and Chen Kai. In his opinion, there must be a battle between Sun and Li, and the new news that has just come from Guizhou also confirms this.

"Qi Sansheng, Sun Kewang wants to cut off Li Dingguo's wings first."

Qi Sansheng in Hong Chengchou's mouth is Liu Wenxiu's general, Liu Wenxiu was defeated in Baoning, and when he returned to Guizhou, he was driven back to Kunming by Sun Kewang to live in Kunming, and Qi Sansheng was appointed by Sun Kewang as the prime minister of Sichuan military affairs, thinking that he would stay behind. Later, although Liu Wenxiu once sent troops to Changde, Qi Sansheng was always in Sichuan. Now, Li Dingguo occupies Yunnan, Liu Wenxiu is standing in the team of the Yongli Imperial Court with a clear banner, and Qi Sansheng, as Liu Wenxiu's old department, is going to follow the old boss nine times out of ten. On the Guiyang side, he has already thought about this army, and it is nothing more than that he is still discussing the difference between winning over Qi Sansheng or directly exterminating him.

"It's probably going to be wooed first, and then ruthlessly wiped out if it can't be wooed."

process, with experience, Hong Chengchou has already made a calculation in his chest. Hong Chengchou doesn't care about the outcome of Qi Sansheng's department, what he cares about is when Sun Kewang and Qi Sansheng will fight, because this confrontation is the precursor of large-scale infighting in Yungui!

"Hengjiu, do you want to find a way to push it."

In the southwest Jingluo Yamen on Zhaobi Street, Huang Zhixuan, Hong Chengchou's most trusted member of the Changsha Shogunate and his in-law, heard Yungui's information, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, the situation in the west is improving for the Qing court, but the situation in the east is still deteriorating, even if Hong Chengchou personally takes action, it only controls the deterioration to a certain extent.

Huang Zhixuan's words were as he spoke, and Hong Chengchou certainly understood that he was worried that once the situation in the southeast deteriorated further, it was very likely that they would not be able to wait for that golden opportunity to come in the southwest. But for Huang Zhixuan's suggestion, he shook his head: "Oumei, at this time, what we do is wrong, only by reducing his sense of existence and making Sun Kewang feel that Huguang is worry-free, he will be relieved to boldly fight with Li Dingguo." ”

Compared with each other, the Qing court is obviously their great enemy, not only because they are still under the banner of the Ming court, but also because Zhang Xianzhong's death has a position problem for Xiying, otherwise there will not be only two trends of thought in Xiying in recent years, Fuming and self-reliance, and there is no option to surrender to the Qing.

It's not that Huang Zhixuan doesn't understand this truth, it's just that Chen Kai has poked a big hole in the battle situation in the southeast, and Hong Chengchou is trying his best to make it up, but it's just a bridge, not a restoration. In the meantime, there is more of a concern and chaos. After all, the future of the Qing court, and their fate, depended on it.

"The previous excerpt of the emperor has been approved, Nanchang has set up eight banners to garrison, and all prefectures and counties in Jiangxi have to increase their troops. At this stage, it is still necessary for Suke Saha to take Liu Guangbi, Qi Sheng and the defeated troops of Nanjiang to guard Ji'an Mansion, and Jianchang Mansion will also be assisted by Fujian soldiers. The task is indeed heavier, but judging from the current deployment of Chen Kai in Guangdong and Southern Jiangxi, there should not be much movement for the time being. ”

Guangdong, Southern Jiangxi, and the Qing army defending Jiangxi and Guidong, the Ming army was too average in terms of strength, lacking focus, and it was difficult to form an overwhelming advantage on any front. Moreover, according to the detailed report, Guangdong's military food reserves can no longer support a major war, which is not much different from him. Therefore, at this stage, the two sides have once again returned to the stage of licking their wounds in order to fight again.

However, after losing the fortified city of Ganzhou, the steep Wuyi Mountain, and the Meiling defense line, the Qing army retreated to Ji'an Mansion and Jianchang Mansion, which were basically the same as the Ming army-controlled areas.

It's like the Cold War, when the United States turned its back on its traditional ally, Iran's Pahlavi dynasty, and then had to retreat to inferior second-tier positions like Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. Later, even after the end of the Cold War and the likes of Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi were gone, Iran still stood firm in its confrontation with the United States, and it was a reason that the Middle East region could not completely fulfill the wishes of the Yankees.

Of course, Hong Chengchou didn't know what the United States was, let alone what Pahlavi did, and he couldn't understand what war would be cold. However, when Chen Kai first came to South Australia, he vaguely remembered a sentence - those who guard Jinling, if they do not guard Huaisi, the Yangtze River will be out of danger; Those who guard the thunder and are incorruptible, and do not guard the cliff, will be punished. Fu Nanao is also the Huaisi and Qiongya of Zhangchao. This sentence is also used here by Hong Chengchou, because this Southern Jiangxi is also Huaisi, Qiongya and Nanao in Jiangxi.

However, things have developed to the current situation, Hong Chengchou has worked hard, and he has also made up for some losses from other places. For example, the heads of Gao Wengui and Lian Chengbi, as well as the Wuzhou Mansion City, made him barely regain some face on the Qing court, and at the same time dug a pit for Chen Kai that he had to jump into. However, if you want to change completely, it will not happen overnight, and you may need greater opportunities, such as Zheng Chenggong and Chen Kai broke out in internal strife like Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, otherwise you can only spend more money and food and mobilize more troops to defend those "inferior second-line positions", there is no way.

"But, Heng Jiu, on the money and grain, the court can't make ends meet every year, and I'm just afraid of ......"

The Qing court's finances have basically not been positive for a year since they entered the customs, and they are nothing more than supported by the heavy family foundation that they quickly accumulated at the beginning of the entry into the customs, and at the same time rely on the prestige of the Eight Banners Army, as well as allowing those green battalion soldiers to exploit and plunder places, in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

Nowadays, the strategic situation of the Qing court is getting worse and worse, especially in the battle of Ganzhou, following Li Dingguo's victory in Hengyang, another Manchurian Eight Banners was defeated by the Ming army, and the casualties were even worse. When the power of deterrence begins to wane, then they will inevitably need more money and food to envelop the green camp.

Huang Zhixuan's worries are not unreasonable, but Hong Chengchou doesn't care much about this, and just ends the discussion of this matter with one sentence: "Jiangxi has been recuperating for a few years, and since it is impossible to make ends meet, it is better to raise taxes." ”

Hong Chengchou said it lightly, as if it wasn't a big deal. In this regard, Huang Zhixuan can also understand, because they have already done similar things in Huguang, which is nothing more than moving the "advanced experience" to Jiangxi.

As early as the beginning of Hong Chengchou's arrival in Changsha, Zhang Xuchu, a staff member of the Changsha shogunate, suggested that Hong Chengchou should use Hunan to fight frequently, and it would be difficult for the division to stay full.

To this end, Hong Chengchou assigned Zhang Xuchu to manage Ningxiang County's "7,200 strange land", and at the same time in various parts of Hunan, "dispatch tuntian, the official gave cattle, seeds, and levied seeds every year, and loaned them for three years". For example, Li Chaoshi, the magistrate of Yu County, recorded: "The grain of Mingyi is 7,000 stones...... Eleven years of soldiers, although they have been recruited, there is no agricultural tools, and the cattle are given breeds through a little Hongchengchou, and the people gradually live in the industry. After Yu took office, he rode alone to persuade the reclamation, and now he has opened 3,977 stone zero. In Youxian County, in the eleventh or second year of Shunzhi, there were two times by Jingluo Hong Chengchou "to send cattle to plant and reclaim the field", and the field was reclaimed 42 acres and 90 acres, and it has been continued. Jiang Yingtai "Xingtun worked" in Ningxiang; Before Wu Hongdao became the magistrate of Yuanjiang County, he was mainly engaged in "reclamation of tuntian fields and procurement of military supplies......

These people were all members of the Changsha shogunate, and Hong Chengchou relied on these people and related policies to achieve the restoration of Hunan, not only maintaining the situation of confrontation with the Ming army in the southwest, but also playing an extremely important role in the three-way invasion of the Qing court in history to suppress Yungui, and Hunan's grain and salary.

Restoring people's livelihood is one of them, and at the same time and after the restoration of people's livelihood, Hong Chengchou also implemented the "Hong Salary" in Huguang, that is, the nine cents of silver in Liao's salary were gradually restored. In the next year of history, that is, in the fourteenth year of Shunzhi, the Qing court wrote it into the "Enlistment Book" and implemented it throughout the country, and there was no lack of Hong Chengchou involved.

At this time, Hong Chengchu's only thoughts were collecting taxes, raising soldiers, and conquering China for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, completely turning more Chinese into slaves like him. However, in later generations, some people sang praises to Hong Chengchou for various reasons, and built a memorial hall for this dog traitor.

There is a couplet in the memorial hall: "Fuguo can be called a true bachelor; To love the people is to be a hero."

It turned out that the Qing court said that in the Ming Dynasty, the nine cents of silver that forced the common people to rebel became an act of loving the people when it arrived on Hong Chengchou's side; It turns out that making Chinese slaves of foreign colonizers is an act of loving the people; It turns out that letting the brilliant Chinese civilization become the sick man of East Asia is an act of loving the people. With such the ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open, it is estimated that even the Donglin Party will be willing to bow down.

Huguang's flood salaries have already begun to be collected, most of which have started last year. Now, the war situation in Jiangxi has deteriorated, in order to support more troops to maintain the rule of the Qing court, Hong Chengchou decided to share this "love the people gift package" with the people of Jiangxi, so that they can also bathe in the love and justice of the great heroes.

It's just that since there are heroes, there must be villains as a foil. Existence like Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, and Chen Kai is naturally indispensable, and even the current Sun Kewang can be regarded as such. And on the land of Jiangxi, where Hong Chengchou's great love is boundless, the big hero with a torch of eyes naturally has also discovered some little villains who may cause resistance to his love for the people.

"How's the matter of the Nangan Mutual Aid Association?"

It has been a few months since the end of the war, and Yi Yonggui's rhetoric to get rid of his guilt has revealed all the abnormalities in Nanjiang, and the least of them is the mutual aid association organization that suddenly sprung up on the land of Jiangxi after the collapse of the Ming army in Jiangxi. The development direction of this organization in various places is basically the same, which is nothing more than to protect the people with the gentry and restore the people's livelihood with the people, and the two sides complement each other, and it is also profitable for the local governments, so it has also been supported by the local governments in the process of development.

However, in Yi Yonggui's confession and Hong Chengchou's intelligence, when the Ming army entered Southern Jiangxi, mutual aid associations fell to the Ming army, including the leaders of local mutual aid associations such as Tao Qian, a man from Ruijin County, who was the mastermind, and even more sensational remarks that Tao Qian was actually a student of Chen Kai.

"A bunch of stupid idiots!"

After listening to Huang Zhixuan's investigation report, Hong Chengchou slapped the case with a slap, that anger was uncontrollable, Rao is a figure as close to Huang Zhixuan has rarely been seen, and even Chen Kai launched an offensive against Southern Jiangxi at the beginning of the year compared to now. At this moment, Huang Zhixuan was already stunned, because he didn't understand what touched Hong Chengchou's nerves at all, just because there were rumors that Tao Qian was Chen Kai's student.

The answer, of course not, even Hong Chengchou didn't think that this crazy rumor was true at all. The anger here, especially the stupid sentence, refers not to the gentry who formed the mutual aid association, but to those officials in Jiangxi and Southern Jiangxi.

"For the sake of petty profits, ignoring the real enemy. After completely ceding the people to those gentry, how should the authority of the imperial court be exercised? There was no need to pace back and forth in the cage like a trapped beast, Hong Chengchou immediately made a decision: "Pass the order to ban all mutual aid associations in all prefectures and counties in Jiangxi, and strictly prohibit the formation of mutual aid associations in all provinces and prefectures and counties." Regardless of whether this thing was tossed out by Chen Kai or not, it must not be kept! ”
