When it comes to Dahe Town, Liang Shifa's heart is also fluctuating.

He was ordered to go north after defeating Liu Zeqing in this town.

After all, the layout of the Military Intelligence Department in this town, Huai'an, Yangzhou, and even Nanjing has been preliminarily completed.

Speaking of which, Liang Shifa was quite speechless.

Even if the entire small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty was fighting in the civil war, between the towns and the imperial court, there was no deployment to prevent the elaborate spies at all.

Of course, it is impossible for anyone to send spies north to find out the true intentions of the Qing court, as well as the Qing army's numbers, troops, ordnance, war horses, grain and grass and other military aircraft information.

The court is full of incompetence and prejudice, as well as inexplicable optimism and fantasy.

Compared with the prevention and attention to the north, the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty paid more attention to its own power struggle, and at this time, the four towns were also in a miasma and chaos.

Liu Zeqing continued to build his mansion in Huai'an, but only concentrated some troops along the banks of the Huai River, apparently because he was afraid that Min Yuanqi would take advantage of his surprise attack and directly raid his hometown.

Huang Degong defended Zuo Liangyu downstream, Liu Liangzuo was expanding the army and looting money, and Gao Jie had some intentions and plans for the Northern Expedition, but it is difficult to say what the power of a town can look like.

Of course, Liang Shifa didn't know that it didn't take long for Gao Jie to be stabbed to death, and the Northern Expedition tossed in Xuzhou Town was completely extinguished, and the town was almost finished playing by itself before the Qing army went south......

However, after Min Yuanqi defeated Liu Zeqing, the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty still had the right choice after a short period of shock.

Dahewei opened the town, Min Yuanqi authorized the governor of the capital, the general of the Dahewei, and there can also be a deputy general under his command, guarding Yancheng, a staff general, guarding Haizhou, two guerrillas, two garrisons, and guarding three thousand households and a water pass in the lower reaches of Dahewei.

In this way, it is equivalent to giving the territory from Haizhou to Yancheng to Min Yuanqi, and about one-third of Huai'an Mansion is given to the newly established Dahewei Town.

Liu Zeqing also had no choice but to pinch his nose and endure it.

After all, he lost the battle, and before he had the ability and determination to start another war with Dahewei Town, Liu Zeqing could only accept this blatant partiality of the imperial court.

Otherwise, it is necessary to risk losing the remaining territory and Dahewei Town to fight to the death, the imperial court will not support it, and the rest of the towns will take advantage of the fire to rob, and if you can't figure out that Shandong Town will become a lost dog.

Liu Zeqing was not stupid like this, so he could only accept it.

In the past ten days, Chen Mingxia has actually received news here, which is enough to prove that this person is indeed quite well-informed.

"The young proprietor of my family is a military aircraft in Dahewei Town, and he praises the painting" Speaking of Dahewei Town, Liang Shifa is of course full ......of pride in his heart, but he is very cautious and does not reveal this emotion.

At the moment, I just have a pretty cautious answer and doesn't exaggerate too much.

"Strange." Chen Mingxia didn't suspect anything, even if he was a hero in this era, most of the so-called meticulous espionage precautions were in the script, and there were no excessive means and ideas in reality.

Otherwise, when the old slave first started his army, he actually infiltrated Liaoyang and Shenyang quite strongly, and secretly bought off many Ming army generals and Mongolian Tatar soldiers.

During the war in Liaoyang and Shenyang, these people who bought it gave great help to the Eight Banners, and it can be said that they had to account for at least 30 to 40 percent of the credit.

At that time, the Titang officer of the Ming Military Department was also a post-Jin meticulous work, and he betrayed a lot of information.

The so-called spy organizations, that is, the famous Dongchang and Jinyiwei, have made no achievements in preventing trouble and building slaves, nor have they sent them to Liaodong to spy on the enemy, and they have become completely useless vases.

At this time, Houjin became the Qing Dynasty, and the force had become a crushing state, of course, he disdained to use the method of espionage to spy on the military situation of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, there are Hong Chengchou and other officials who are familiar with the situation of the Ming Dynasty in the court, compared with those who can only spy on the low-level intelligence, the role of these demoted officials is much greater, and it is also much more practical.

"Is there any difference between this Dahe Town and Shandong Town and Gao Jie's department?"

Chen Mingxia was out of curiosity, Liang Shifa thought about it, and decided to reveal something, maybe this Chen can be more cooperative because of this, but it is still unknown.

"Dahe Town was created by Min Yuanqi Min, and his background is also as Lord Chen said, Dahewei Min's family. Previously, General Min felt that Yu Weisu had become a military transporter, and he had no power to protect himself. Therefore, he trained some flag soldiers from his own family, and the original intention was to protect the native ...... of his hometown."

Chen Mingxia nodded and said: "It is not surprising that many official gentry families in Henan, Shanxi, and Shandong have recruited rebels, and military attachés have also created their own regimental training. ”

"After that, there were pirates and bandits who came to attack, were defeated by the banner army, and beheaded thousand-level ...... Then it was to engage the soldiers of Shandong Town, and break its more than 10,000 elites. Now that Dahe Town has just been established, although the imperial court has not given much money to subsidize grain, but because the town controls the salt affairs, there is no shortage of silver, and the imperial court has given tens of thousands of stone grain, which is enough for the time being. Therefore, the town soldiers have recruited more than 10,000 new troops, plus the original veterans, there are already 13,000 or 4,000 strong soldiers, divided into three battalions and an independent thousand headquarters, stationed in the sea, the large area between the salt is more than enough. Our proprietor is mainly in salt affairs in Yunti Pass, and also takes care of some foreign affairs, in addition to dealing with the imperial court and other things are also on our proprietor. In addition to the proprietor, Master Zhou Liangmin, the brother of Lord Zhou of Huaiyang Dao, is also a helper in Dahe Town, taking care of some chores in the town......"

Some of the original personnel in Dahe Town, such as Zhuwen and other officials, although they are shrewd and capable, they are also regarded as the number one person in the town, and the work of the departments is done by these officials, but these words cannot be told to the civil officials in front of them, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Sure enough, Chen Mingxia smiled lightly after hearing this, and said, "No wonder Brother Zhu stayed on Dahewei's side, it turned out to be related to salt affairs." As for Zhou Liangmin, I think it is because the Zhou brothers are unwilling to be an empty Huai Yangdao, is Dahe Town considered the stamina they cultivated. ”

"It's not necessarily cultivation." Liang Shifa said cautiously: "Dahe Town actually does its own thing, and the two sides are in a cooperative relationship. ”

Chen Mingxia obviously disagreed, Zhou Lianggong and Zhou Liangmin were also from a family, and they were quite famous in Shilin, especially Zhou Lianggong's poetry and calligraphy attainments are not low, and he also has a good relationship with the Zhou brothers like Gong Dingyu.

Even if the civil officials have lost their power now, if they want to come to Huaiyang Dao and the famous people of the family, they will not go to the general army of a town, especially the small general soldier who has just been established.

"The situation in Dahe Town is different from the rest of the towns......" Liang Shifa knew what the other party was thinking, and continued: "The whole town is united, the training is still strict and even cruel, the military law is sensible, the order is like an arm, the prestige of the general army is extremely high, and the battle has not yet been defeated. In addition, the military salary is sufficient, the full salary of the soldiers, the ordnance and equipment are also the most elite in each town, the general soldiers have never kept a penny privately, all the soldiers have enough income, and all the income is used to buy war horses and weapons. It is precisely because of all these good things that our Zhu family is determined to do our best to help, and I ask Lord Chen to investigate it carefully. ”

"I see." Chen Mingxia's face gradually became solemn, obviously he also paid enough attention to this big river town in his heart, but he still quickly shook his head and said, "You also don't know anything in the south. The Qing people are going all out to enter the customs, and the scale of the first five customs entries is comparable. The regent is a man of great talent, and he is never willing to stop in Beijing, and recently he is only in Beijing because of the hot weather and the northern soldiers are afraid of the heat, so he temporarily stops his horse. In three or five months at most, from the end of this year to the beginning of next year, the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Mongolian cavalry of the Outer Domain, as well as the soldiers and horses of the Xibo Department of the Ming Dynasty, the Dongjiang soldiers of the Sanshun Wang, and the Xinjiang Army, the Xinjiang Army, etc., add up to at least 200,000 people to send troops in batches...... This is not the so-called 200,000 soldiers of my Ming Dynasty, of which tens of thousands of Manchurian troops are invincible at all, that is, the Pingxi Bobu and the Dongjiang Sanshun King are the first class of strong soldiers in our Ming Dynasty, and the newly surrendered officers and soldiers such as Tang Tong are also the elite of the important towns of the Nine Sides. The Southern Soldiers, especially the rats like the Four Towns, could not be their opponents at all! That is, Li Chuang has millions of people, although he suffered a loss in a stone, but his department still has hundreds of thousands of elites, if he can block the road of the Eight Banners in Henan or Tongguan, as well as all parts of Shanxi, so that the Qing army and the Chuang army fall into a state of entanglement and hard fighting, then the Ming still has some opportunities, maybe they can rectify their defenses, but as long as either side gains the power and goes south after the big victory, in my opinion, most of them will instantly disintegrate the four towns...... Once the four towns collapse, do you think those so-called Beijing soldiers in Nanjing, as well as those nobles and nobles in the city, and the official gentry families in the south of the Yangtze River, which family and surname will fight to the death for the Ming Dynasty, or even die for it? ”

Chen Mingxia had a wry smile on his face, and he was also a little embarrassed.

When the Ming Jingshi fell, the real garrison of the city and the imperial city and the battle with the army were a few eunuchs and eunuchs of the imperial horse eunuchs, in addition to fighting to the end is the imperial city forbidden army of the three guards, although the number is not large, it is also the main force to resist the invasion of the army, and the bloody battle with the enemy before the gate of the imperial city and the palace city in the heavenly street and the imperial city gate and the palace city to the end.

When Chongzhen hanged himself in Jingshan, he was accompanied by only Wang Chengen, a eunuch.

After the death of the emperor, the martyrs included the scholar Fan Jingwen, the scholar Zhu Zhugui, Ni Yuanlu, the imperial history of the Zuodu Li Banghua, the squire Wang Jiayan and other ministers.

There are also many nobles who have been martyred, and the number of eunuchs is the largest.

Jinyiwei was from the commander Wang Guoxing, to the same knowledge Li Ruogui, Qianhu Gao Wencai and many other military attaches were martyred after the bloody battle.

Chen Mingxia descended first, and now he plans to descend again, and the sense of uneasiness and shame in his heart is also quite strong.

Now it is not so much that Chen Mingxia is convincing Liang Shifa, but that he is convincing himself.

Yes, under the fierce heavenly might, what can you do if you don't fall?

The number of great Ming qi has been exhausted, and the gentleman must also choose a good tree to live in.

The third generation of the gentleman Ze was beheaded, and the Ming Dynasty has passed on the seventeenth emperor to nearly three hundred years, and it is indeed the king's exhaustion, which can be seen from the disasters and wars in the past few decades.

The country is doomed.

Liang Shifa looked straight at the bureaucrat in front of him, who was full of poems and books and was famous all over the world, and had a very good temperament, and said bluntly: "Before the villain left, Zhu Dongzhu said that no matter what, Dahe Town will not fall, and when the Eight Banners really go south, the only way to fight to the end, even if it is the last person, it will not fall." ”
