As soon as this topic was mentioned, the originally extremely enthusiastic mood in the room cooled down suddenly, everyone knew the true meaning of Liu Yongxi's words, and Jin'er blurted out: "Brother Yongxi is saying that Jianyu is ready to go south?" ”

Liu Yongxi replied very clearly: "Since the Qing soldiers have defeated Li Zicheng and captured Xi'an, and even the Great Shun State is not the opponent of the Qing State, how can they take the Ming State in their eyes and it is imperative to go south!"

The Ming Dynasty died at the hands of the thief Li Zicheng, and the soldiers and horses of the Hongguang small court, whether it was the four towns in Jiangbei or Zuo Liangyu who occupied the upstream, were all defeated by the thieves, and their combat effectiveness was far less than that of the thieves, not to mention that the Hongguang Emperor had made all the mistakes that could be made since he ascended the throne, "the court and the other towns are not in harmony, the court and the court are not in harmony, the outside towns are not in harmony with the other towns, the friends are in power, the door is big, and the matter of the prisoners is ignored", it is completely a mess of scattered sand, and it is strange that the Qing State does not take this opportunity to go south.

When it comes to the southward movement of the Qing army, whether it is Mrs. Xing or Li Xiangjun or Jin'er and Hui'er, they all feel that there is nothing they can do.

Since the forty-sixth year of Wanli Nurhachi raised troops with seven hatreds, the imperial court has been defeated repeatedly against Jianyu, and there is almost no way to do it, but it has won a few battles to defend the city, but since the change of Dengzhou, Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong defected to Huang Taiji with a red-clothed cannon, and the Ming Dynasty has no chance of winning even the battle to defend the city.

After having the red-coated cannon, the Qing army entered the customs as if it were entering a no-man's land, and even attacked Haizhou in the south of Zhili, even if there were a small number of cities that could hold on to the Qing army's offensive for three or five days, but as long as the red-coated cannon arrived, it was the fate of being immediately attacked, and everyone felt that the Jurchens were invincible, and there was no chance of winning when they met the real captives.

Although 15,600 officers and soldiers and their dependents have now been assembled near Jiangdu, and there are more than 10,000 real combatable soldiers, and there are even a few red-coated cannons, if they really want to fight the Qing army in the south, everyone feels that although it is not an egg hitting a stone, the chance of victory is not great.

After all, Li Zicheng has used all the strength to deal with the Qing army, but now it is defeated again and again, except for a small victory in Huaiqing, there are no results worth mentioning, and even the Xi'an nest has been lost, and the combat effectiveness of Linhuai Town is definitely not as good as Li Zicheng's department in his heyday, thinking of this, everyone feels almost helpless.

Mrs. Xing was the first to see the low mood of the daughters, and she hurriedly said: "Li Zicheng can't support it, it doesn't mean that we can't support it in Linhuai Town, I have long seen that Li Zicheng's habits are too heavy, and he can't become a climate at all, and only our family's Yongxi brother can really achieve a career!"

Others are not qualified to evaluate Li Zicheng's success or failure, but after all, there has been such a history between Mrs. Xing and Li Zicheng, so she is qualified to evaluate Li Zicheng and take this opportunity to cheer everyone up.

But Mrs. Xing now also regards Liu Yongxi as a life-saving straw, and Mrs. Xing was extremely desperate when Li Zicheng entered the Beijing Division, but Li Zicheng not only lost the Beijing Division, but also suffered a series of lossary blows such as Taiyuan and Tongguan in a row, which made Mrs. Xing even more desperate.

Li Zicheng's millions of elites can't stop the onslaught of the serf like a tide, she has no other way than to hope for Liu Yongxi, and Liu Yongxi strikes while the iron is hot: "That's why we want to enter Zhejiang to join Zhang Niangniang, and now Zhang Niangniang has taken the three prefectures and twenty-three counties of Jinqu, as long as we can bring this army to Zhejiang, the whole Zhejiang is our territory!"

Now Empress Zhang can be said to have a territory but no army in Zhejiang, although there are thousands of people, but the real core main force is more than 1,000 people under the command of Zhou Zhisheng, so although the momentum is large, there is not much threat to the Hongguang small court, and Linhuai Town has a large army but no territory, 15,600 officers and soldiers and their dependents are gathered near the small city of Jiangdu, resulting in the most basic food, clothing, housing and transportation are now encountering difficulties.

Hearing Liu Yongxi say this, Jin'er was the first to react: "Brother Yongxi means to transfer his dependents to Zhejiang first?" ”

Mrs. Xing also understood: "I haven't really reached this point before, as long as the dependents have a way to move to Zhejiang, our army's actions will be much less drag!"

Now in addition to tens of thousands of soldiers who can fight near Jiangdu, there are thousands of dependents, with these dependents dragging down the army's action encountered a big problem, and Liu Yongxi said very clearly: "The dependents should be transferred to Zhejiang as soon as possible, it is best to go by several roads, as long as they arrive in Zhejiang, Zhang Niangniang will definitely try her best to settle them!"

Seeing that Liu Yongxi trusted Empress Zhang so much, Mrs. Xing suddenly became a little more suspicious, she always felt that there was some unclear relationship between Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang, and she even remembered that when she first met this little sincere uncle, she had a ride with Empress Zhang very closely, and the degree of mutual trust between her little man and Empress Zhang was too exaggerated.

But Mrs. Xing only suspected that there was no evidence in hand, and she also knew that Liu Yongxi's plan to enter Zhejiang was indeed very feasible, even if Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang had anything unclear, they could only turn a blind eye, not to mention that she and Liu Yongxi were not married.

Although she and Gao Jie had 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses when they were in their heyday, they were resisted, confronted and even attacked by the local gentry and people in Nanzhili wherever they went, so they had no real stable territory as a basis and could not be separated, but since Zhejiang has the support of top gentry like Zhu Dadian and Zhang Guowei, even if they can't enter the southeast, at least there can be a small situation of Wu Yueguo.

It was precisely with such thoughts that Mrs. Xing immediately said: "Since the husband said so, let's start settling the dependents as soon as possible, I think time is running out!"

Mrs. Xing just said casually, but Liu Yongxi said very seriously: "Time is running out!"

It's already the middle of February in the first year of Hiromitsu.

Everyone thinks that although the Hongguang small court has made many fatal mistakes and the government is turbid, it is still a singing and dancing atmosphere, but who would not have thought that the national fortune of this small court has been less than three months.

Whether it is Mrs. Xing, Li Xiangjun, Zhang Huangyan, Qian Weikun, or Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng in Nanjing, or Zhang Guowei and Zhu Dadian in Zhejiang, although they know that the Hongguang Imperial Court is going downhill, they at least think that the Hongguang Small Imperial Court still has a year or two of national fortune, and they never thought that the world would collapse so quickly.

Ma Shiying also didn't expect that the national fortune of the Hongguang small court was so short-lived, after hearing that Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing were honestly staying near Jiangdu, Ma Shiying felt that everything was under control: "First take care of food and salary for a month or two, and then find a way to find an excuse to stop again, so that they can hurry north!"
