In addition, since Zhu Beiguo came into contact with Chen Shangchuan some time ago, he has gained an in-depth understanding of the current situation on the Leizhou Peninsula through Wei Ai and the others, and has drawn an important judgment on the situation: the current situation has the conditions to extend Operation Changfeng until the end of the year or even longer, and for this reason, we will obtain a population that exceeds far from expectations.

Zhu Beiguo believes that due to the inconvenient transportation in the coastal areas and the lack of information, Leizhou City will definitely be under the control of Chen Shangchuan for a long time to come, and not only Leizhou City, but also several coastal counties around it should also be in Chen's hands.

As for how long it can be controlled, Zhu Beiguo judged that it should only be at least four to six months, and the most important thing is that Dr. Zhu came to a conclusion earlier and more keenly than others: The practice of the past month has proved that the Qing court's control over the coastal areas is much weaker than imagined.

As it turned out, Dr. Zhu Da's judgment was very correct, and this professional in the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties really gave it in vain, and his knowledge of the transportation, information dissemination, and the operation of the government in this era was much deeper than others.

Leizhou Peninsula is located at the junction of Guangxi and Guangzhou, and is a typical place of "the end of the border and the province".

At this time, the governor of Guangxi was Yu Shiyue---- this governor was born in the white banner of the Han army, as an earlier "from the dragon" Han people, he was promoted all the way from the county order to the position of governor of Guangxi in just a few years, and was a capable official who was deeply trusted by the Shunzhi emperor.

At this time, in order to repay the "emperor's grace", the feudal official was wantonly "suppressing" the remnant Ming forces in Guangxi, but the situation in Guangxi was very complicated, in addition to the local forces of the remnant Ming, most of the Tusi in the territory had also received the title of Yongli, especially in the Tusi on the border of Yunnan and Guizhou and among the 100,000 mountains, it was quite difficult for the officials and soldiers to subdue these rebellious and impermanent Tusi, so the Guangxi officials and troops also borrowed a large number of troops from Guangdong.

This has had two consequences: first, a large number of refugees from Guangxi have poured into Guangdong's borders, and second, Guangdong's military strength is very empty.

According to the historical records of the old world, about a month later, Dong Yingkui, then governor of Guangdong, reported to Yu Shiyue that the raid of the Leigao prefectures had failed, and he hoped that the governor would return the officers and soldiers who had been loaned to Guangxi to help the above-mentioned states.

And Yu Shiyue, who was in the Guilin Governor's Office, also got some specious news about the defeat of the Guangdong Green Camp Raider Lei Lian Erzhou a while ago, after all, Lei Lian Erzhou is located on the border between Guangxi and Guangzhou, and if this place is not quiet, Guangxi will also be affected, so the governor finally sent a scout horse to the coastal area to collect news.

However, even if they get the exact information, it is obvious that they will not be able to immediately send troops to the Leizhou Peninsula.

What's more, there is another major reason at present - at present, the Zhengjia Shui Division is entering the Yangtze River, and the whole court is being disturbed by the war that happened in Jiangning, after all, Guangxi is remote, compared to the trouble that happened in the important places in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial court did not let the two Guangxi send troops to support the local difficulties, let alone draw strength to support here?

As a result, this back and forth, only the exchange of news was delayed for more than two months, until Zheng Chenggong withdrew from the Yangtze River estuary, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River was basically stabilized, and the imperial court freed up its hands to take care of the Liangguang region.

However, at that time, it was already the middle of the ninth lunar month and the beginning of the tenth month of the solar calendar, and at that time, the imperial court did begin to mobilize grain, grass, soldiers and horses to support the coastal areas of Guangxi, but these preparations took more than a month.

Thus, in fact, before the end of 1659, the city of Leizhou and the coastal counties of the peninsula were able to be controlled by Chen Shangchuan.

This is how the opportunity of history arises.

It turned out that this was a very critical six months for the Australian Federation, during which more than 120,000 refugees boarded the Australian fleet and left the Leizhou Peninsula.

This figure was greatly unexpected by the Red Mansions, and according to the later estimates of Zhu Beiguo and Wei Hong, almost one-third of the total population of the coastal states of Lei Liangao was transported away......

The prescient Zhu Beiguo further believed that some other historical opportunities for us to obtain a large number of immigrants were imminent---- or that although the relocation order that occurred in the Qing Dynasty a few years later was a historical opportunity for us to obtain a large number of immigrants, our practice on the Leizhou Peninsula proved that even at present, the Qing court's control over the coastal areas was far less powerful than we imagined. And our successful cooperation with Chen Shangchuan on the Leizhou Peninsula can be proven.

Now, Zhu Beiguo also has a deeper understanding of why the Qing Dynasty did the kind of stupid act that seemed very stupid to outsiders - moving to the sea.

For the imperial court, since it is an area that it cannot fully control, then it cannot be funded by the enemy, so "strong walls and clear the wilderness" is a good strategy, and it is also a strategy that has to be done, otherwise, sitting and watching the coastal areas become bigger and bigger, it will shake the Qing Dynasty's rule over the interior.

Now that Zheng Chenggong has entered the Yangtze River, the soldiers are directed at the city of Jiangning, isn't it a clear proof that the coastal areas are used by the enemy and finally become bigger?

Obviously, the weakness of the Qing court is our advantage, and since we have clearly seen this, we must seize the current favorable opportunity to carry out various advance arrangements for the coastal and inland areas under the control of the Qing Dynasty in advance.

In his work memorandum, Zhu Beiguo divided these arrangements into two aspects: First, in the coastal area, which is not only the Leizhou Peninsula, but also the southeast coast, he actively contacted and established close ties with the local anti-Qing forces, and strived to establish a stronghold of cooperative immigration with the local forces in these areas where the Qing court's control was weak.

At present, in addition to Chen Shangchuan, Zheng Chenggong in the Jinxia area should be the force we need to focus on in the near future, and Zhang Huangyan in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas is also something we must pay close attention to.

For these forces, we must not only engage with them, but also trade with them, and even provide more direct military assistance – especially in the area of arms.

Of course, our aid must be rewarded---- and in addition to trade profits, helping us to gain population, as Chen Shangchuan did, is the most important goal.

The second aspect is to establish a secret immigration route from the inland to the seaside, and there are two tasks to be done in this regard: one is to cooperate with forces such as the Chinese businessmen and churches in Macao to establish a smooth secret channel for receiving people and goods, and second, we should also consider directly setting up secret bases in the interior, not only as secret business bases, but also as intelligence stations, and more importantly, to become transit points for collecting and transporting immigrants.

Zhu Beiguo's initial idea was to purchase land and establish granges in places 100 miles away from the coast inland---- considering that after the implementation of the order to move to the sea, coastal refugees would flock to the interior, and as long as we spread out the map and look at it, we would know that the prices of houses and fields in prefectures, counties, villages and towns about 100 miles away from the coast would all increase in price, so we should make arrangements in those places in advance, both strategically and economically.

Zhu Beiguo's work memorandum was finally sent out in the form of a telegram in the communication room of the Nicole.

Although this telegram was sent at a time when everyone was busy receiving refugees from Leizhou, and it seemed a little out of place, Zhu Beiguo believed that the current situation was a bit urgent, and he was a little unable to take care of it.

What was a bit surprising to Zhu Beiguo was that when this telegram was received by all places, it was not complained by everyone, but triggered a big discussion.

Zhu Beiguo's opinion was first taken seriously by the Red Chambers, because Dr. Zhu directly pointed out the key point at the beginning of the telegram -- judging from the situation in Leizhou City, in the two or three years before the implementation of the sea relocation order, it is conservatively estimated that we may have the conditions to obtain more than 100,000 people from the mainland!
