Fellow villagers, and as in-laws, they are even more intersecting on weekdays, if there is anyone in the Changsha shogunate who knows Hong Chengchou best, then if Huang Zhixuan says second, no one dares to say that it is first.

has been friends for many years, not to mention the eradication of the Liukou back then, but only that since the Qing army entered the customs, Hong Chengchou has been appointed to the place for the second time. However, compared with the "no appeasement must not be pacified" and "no real suppression must not be realized", this time he once again performed his duties, held great power, was not constrained, and could even install his cronies in the local and military at will, but Hong Chengchou read all the twists and turns in the court, met with officials after arriving in Huguang, and observed the situation, but what he took out was only "fighting with defense".

Such a conservative situation, in the end, is still different from the past. Back then, the Eight Banners Army had just entered the customs, and the soldiers were extremely prosperous, and the green battalions of all departments had just switched to the Qing court, and the desire for self-efficacy was urgent. On the side of the Ming army, the Hongguang Dynasty fell, the Lu King Prison Kingdom surrendered without a fight, and even the Lu Jian Dynasty and the Longwu Dynasty could not pose any threat to Jiangnan.

Although he only had the authority in Jiangnan and was subject to the constraints of his relatives and nobles, and even more had to bear the negative impact of the shaving order, he relied on his own strength to appease the provinces of Ningguo and Huizhou in Jiangxi, Nanchang, Nankang, Jiujiang, Ruizhou, Fuzhou, Raozhou, Linjiang, Ji'an, Guangxin, Jianchang, and Yuanzhou in just two months after taking office. Including Zehou Tian Jianxiu and Yihou Zhang Nai, the Great Shun Army, Zhang Jinyan, the governor of Hebei, Shaanxi, and Henan of the Hongguang Dynasty, and the general commander of Chongming General Gao Jinzhong.

In addition, during his tenure, the right attendant of the military department of the Longwu Dynasty and the right capital of the Imperial History of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, the governor of Hui, Ning, Chi and Tai recruited more than 100,000 township soldiers, and set up thirteen battalions in each mountain with Huining, guarding thirteen deputy generals, and guarding the Jixi side as a chong to guard it, and then sent heavy troops to choke the mountain pass, and invited the Qing army many times. Hong Chengchou ordered Gushan Ezhen Yechen, Admiral Zhang Tianlu, General Soldier Bu Congshan, Li Zhongxing, Liu Zeyong and others to attack it, broke more than ten villages in a row, conquered Jixi, captured Huizhou, and captured Jin Shengqi.

Huang Daozhou, the first auxiliary minister of the cabinet of the Longwu Dynasty, made a northern expedition and annihilated him; Zhu Yixi, the king of Ruichang, and Zhu Junzhao, the general soldier, conspired to raid Nanjing, which was broken; Even Zheng Zhilong descended to the Qing Dynasty, and there was no lack of Hong Chengchou's strategy.

In just two years of appeasement, Jiangnan no longer has resistance forces that can directly threaten the rule of the Qing court. But this time, they have to face the Qin King Sun Kewang, who is entrenched in Yungui and has hundreds of thousands of troops, Li Dingguo, the king of Xining who is a famous king and a rampant in Guangzhou, and now there is an additional Chen Kai, the supernatural governor who is backed by the Zheng group, and the Ming army of various factions such as the Ming Army of Kuidong and the Ming Army of Western Guangdong.

"Heng Jiu, what are you worried about is the confluence of Li Dingguo and that Haikou?"

As soon as Hong Chengchou opened his mouth, Huang Zhixuan had already figured out the trick. This is not that he really has any ability to see through people's hearts, but during this period of time, Hong Chengchou's main strategies are aimed at Sun Kewang and the Qing court's control area. For Li Dingguo, it was necessary to rely on the line of the Dingnan Domain to guard Guilin, while the Ming army in Guangdong had to rely on the existence of Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao. Now that Shang Geng's two feudatories are gone, Li Dingguo and Chen Kai have achieved cooperation, which is really a very unfavorable start to the Qing court in the past when there has always been infighting between different factions in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Hong Chengchou's worries will naturally be at this new breakthrough.

"Among the thieves around Huguang, Sun Kewang's strength is the strongest, although Zhoujiapu has stopped for a while after the first battle, but it seems that there is a tendency to move recently; On Li Dingguo's side, the year before last, Zhaoqing was defeated and returned in Guilin in vain, but the old man sent someone to persuade him once, but it was better than nothing, and he went to Guangdong again in the New Year. ”

"These two people were both a great threat to the imperial court before, but they also had a lot of shortcomings, that is, the former was not good at commanding in battle; The latter does not have a solid logistical supply. Sun Lihe, the old man is just here to die, this is the gap in hard power, and the general trend. No matter how strong the manpower is, he can't resist the general trend, and the old man will only get twice the result with half the effort if he has a thousand means. Now, God bless the Qing Dynasty, these two thieves are not in harmony, and they are in the same situation. But there was a Chen Kai ......"

There is no direct right or wrong, but Hong Chengchou's statement has confirmed Huang Zhixuan's thoughts. After so many years, he has seen it himself, especially what Hong Chengchou said, the biggest problem of the Ming court is infighting, which makes the five fingers that could have been clenched into fists can only go their own way, even if it really blows the Qing court, it is difficult to form a fatal injury.

In the sixth year of Yongli, when the Ming army in the southwest counterattacked, the Qing army was in a state of rout on all fronts. In this way, the Qing court had the move of letting Wu Sangui give up Sichuan, strictly prohibiting Shang Kexi Geng Jimao from rashly fighting a decisive battle with Li Dingguo, and sending Nikan to lead the main force of the Eight Banners Army south.

Next, the Qing court relied on the Ming army's own mistakes to resist this round of onslaught. Liu Wenxiu was idle, Sun Li was at odds, and the latter left Guangxi, and the clenched fist once again returned to the state of spreading its five fingers. However, that round of blows also inflicted great casualties on the Qing court, which directly led to the Qing court choosing to try its best to appease Zheng Chenggong, in order to prevent the southeast from falling into a bitter battle while the pressure in the southwest was huge, and Zheng Chenggong's cooperation with Li Dingguo, who entered Guangdong.

At first, the execution was not bad, but who knew that from beginning to end, Zheng Chenggong and Chen Kai were calculating the Qing court. What made them even more unbearable was that Fujian Province was lost, and Chen Kai was not idle, and went to Guangdong to cooperate with Li Dingguo, and all the responses made by the Qing court in the southeast were played by Chen Kai.

Hong Chengchou is not a character who likes to waste time sighing, never will. What he believes is that if something goes wrong, he has to find a way to solve it, and today's meeting with Huang Zhixuan is nothing more than a warm-up with this most trusted assistant.

"The imperial court, soon it will be a burden on the old man."

estimated, but did not even use words such as "maybe", "probably", "maybe", etc. Huang Zhixuan heard it in his ears, and even when he suddenly realized that when Hong Chengchou was just ordered to pass through the southwest, he was in charge of the military affairs of the five provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Huguang. Subsequently, because the two kings of Pingnan and Jingnan were princes, it was inconvenient for them to be controlled by Hong Chengchou, and the Qing court changed Hong Chengchou to Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Huguang and Jiangxi provinces. But in fact, Yungui is in the hands of the Ming army, and Hong Chengchou is also letting go of Ma Guozhu, Cai Shiying, and Yi Yonggui in Jiangxi, and his main energy is concentrated in Huguang and Guangxi provinces.

Now, with the collapse of the two feudatories, Jiangxi is bound to be pressured. Thinking about it with the toes, you can also guess that the Qing court is likely to turn the five provinces into six provinces.

"There's more to do, but we still have to hurry up and get it done."

As soon as he spoke, Huang Zhixuan also nodded. Immediately afterwards, Hong Chengchou continued to say this: "Now, it is still necessary to consolidate the situation in the area controlled by the imperial court and build a 5,000-mile long side. ”

The matter of the area controlled by the Qing court, Hong Chengchou has been trying his best to recover by using the Changsha shogunate. But the 5,000-mile-long side is the key problem for now.

The so-called 5,000-mile long border began with Yunyang, Huguang, the northernmost part of the Huguang controlled area by the Qing court, and passed through Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Yiling, Changde, Yiyang, Hengzhou, Qiyang, and Yongzhou until Guilin, Guangxi, to defend against the Ming armies of Kuidong in eastern Sichuan and western Hubei, Qin Fan in Yunnan, and Li Dingguo in Guangxi, and sealed them in the southwest. On this line of defense, "towns are set up every step", "the first move and the tail are concerned, and the other responds".

There is Hu Quancai in Yunyang, who is a person from Shanxi Wenshui, and he has been in the military department during the Chongzhen period. After the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, he was first in the military department, and then in the northwest, he was promoted from Hanqiang Road in Shaanxi Province all the way to the governor of Ningxia. He defended the city, thwarted the rebellion of He Zhen, the general soldier of Hanzhong, quelled the Made rebellion, appeased a large number of generals, and formulated the "Locust Hunting Law" to benefit the locality. The word all-rounder, although it is still a little inferior, but the four words of capable and capable are no longer enough to describe.

"Wen'an's people, the article is full of flowers, and there is nothing wrong with personal morality, but this military matter is still the first contact, and his subordinates are either the local Ming army in Sichuan before, or they are thieves, and the faction is complicated, and it is good to be able to suppress it. With Hu Quancai in Yunyang, the old man is relieved. In addition, in Guilin, Line Guoan is also a general, relying on Jiancheng, don't say that it is Hu Yiqing and others, even if Li Dingguo is in person, he may not be able to gnaw down. ”

Li Dingguo did not fail to capture Guilin, but that time it was Li Dingguo's proper planning and Kong Youdetuo's greatness, which led to the defeat of the army and the lack of strength of the defenders. waited until the next year to attack Guilin again, and attacked the city head-on, and hit a wall in front of the online national security.

"The problem now, in addition to the middle section of the 5,000-mile-long side, there are more loopholes in Nanjiang......"

On the southern Jiangxi side, it was naturally facing the armies of Li Dingguo and Chen Kai, the two Ming armies had achieved a brilliant victory not long ago, and it was the time when the momentum was at its highest. Now, after hard fighting, it is always necessary to rest for a period of time, but after the rest is completed, the Qing army in Southern Jiangxi is afraid that it will suffer a strong blow.

This is basically an inevitable thing, and it is just a matter of time. And in the middle of the 5,000-mile-long side, Hong Chengchou refers to the line of Changde and Baoqing, where Sun Kewang's army is directly faced, and the main force of the Eight Banners Army led by Tunqi was there to hold the Ming army, but the army has been on the march for a long time, plus the losses of Hengyang and Zhoujiapu, and it is urgent to return to the capital to rest. In April last year, Hong Chengchou arrived in Huguang not too long, it can be said that he had just figured out the problem here and began to try to solve it, and Tunqi returned to the capital with a large army.

As soon as the Tunqi army went, even the people were panicked on the Huguang battlefield. In May, the Qing army broke out in Baoqing, because of the withdrawal of the Tunqi army, the Ming army took advantage of the situation to seize a series of strategic points around Baoqing. In order to secure the city of Baoqing, Hong Chengchou forcibly ordered the Green Battalion, which had traveled long distances from Beizhili, Shaanxi, Henan and other places, to march to help, but the result was a mutiny due to the lack of water and soil and the shortage of military supplies.

The green battalion transferred from the north is like this, and the local green battalion guard is already full of holes. For this reason, Hong Chengchou constantly adjusted the armament and expanded the establishment, and was very busy. However, this was particularly insufficient, so he simply asked for the establishment of a scripture standard, and sent a group of his old subordinates from the north to enrich the guard.

"If nothing else, except for Admiral Zhang, the other generals should be able to arrive in May."

When the words came out, Hong Chengchou's face did not show any ease. Huang Zhixuan knew very well that Shang Kexi and Zhu Mala were defeated, and Geng Jimao had asked Hong Chengchou for help, but the messenger had just set off, and the city of Guangzhou had already been broken. The Qing court really can't blame Hong Chengchou for this, but the two feudatories are gone, and the army he easily invited to transfer was originally used as a mobile force, but now it is obviously not enough to plug the gaps.

"It is also necessary to ask the imperial court for troops to ensure the safety of the Southern Jiangxi region. Only by ensuring Jiangxi can the old man continue to play in Huguang, otherwise, it will be a situation where the enemy is on his back. It is better to defend the southern part of Huguang, it is better to simply abandon it, and it can also shorten the defense line, hold on for a while longer, and hold on until the thieves break out again, and the imperial court will have the opportunity to take advantage of the weakness. ”

As the Southwest Economic Strategy, Hong Chengchou inherited a mess that was so bad that it could hardly be rotten. After a lot of hard work these days, he finally gradually recovered, but the enemy is still strong, and as that Chen Kai keeps doing things, his opponent seems to be getting stronger and stronger, which is really not a good thing.

Huang Zhixuan and Hong Chengchou have been friends for many years, and they are convinced of their abilities, and they also believe that Hong Chengchou can turn the tide. Only this time, a sentence that would have to wait for the Ming army to have a chance still made him feel shocked by this conservatism, even pessimism.

"The crux of the problem is Chen Kai, the old man heard of this person four years ago, and he didn't expect that four years later, he would become a big problem for the imperial court."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Hong Chengchou's eyes were not half discouraged, and some were more fierce and decisive when the beast encountered a strong enemy.

Huang Zhixuan hadn't seen such a gaze for too many years, so that once he came into contact with such a gaze, he couldn't help but avoid this daunting gaze. The gaze dodged, but its presence was still unavoidable. At this time, it was the report of the soldiers outside the door who put away this fierceness from the heart.

"Guo Duxian?"

Guo Duxian was the governor of Jiangxi in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and now he is the most prominent gentleman in the Huguang area. Since Hong Chengchou arrived in Huguang for more than a year, he has always spared no effort to win over the local gentry in Huguang, but he is at ease to be a remnant at home, and most of them are unwilling to have a relationship with the Qing court.

"He's here to intercede for Tao Runai, so hang him first."

After that, Hong Chengchou sent his own soldiers to recruit a staff member named Liao Wenying, waved away the idle people and others, and said directly to him: "You thought that you could appease the cottage of Lianyang Eighth Row in Guangzhou Mansion last time. The old man is approved, and you will set off as soon as possible. However, don't rush things. After the Great War in Guangdong, Fujian was ruined, whether it was Li Dingguo or Chen Kai, it was difficult to fight again in the past half a year. Let's still have time to lay out. ”

"Students obey!"
