The Grand Canal, on both sides of the flag hunting, water axis thousands of miles.

In a long line of boats full of sergeant supplies, there was a Qinhuai painting boat slowly passing on the canal, and the sound of silk and bamboo coming from the painting boat could be faintly heard.

The owner of this Qin Huai painting boat is very famous, it is Qin Huaizhang's talent must not be bad, and this palace is the time to use people, so it should be of great use. He paused, "Mr. Qian, can I let my senior brother go to the Generalissimo of the Main Palace to serve as the secretary of the General Marshal and the East Palace?" ”

The Long History Department of the Generalissimo's Mansion is equivalent to Zhu Cihong's office, and the chief is called Changshi and Tong Changshi, and is served by Bi Jiucheng and Su Ziwen. And the record is a subordinate of Changshi, not a big official. The secretary of the East Palace is a member of the prince's official team, and his task is to manage the prince's books, and he can't be called "sir", so he is not the prince's teacher.

Although these two official positions are not large, they do not actually need Zheng Sen to take up the post - there are several records in the Changshi Division, and Zhu Cihong also has another servant by his side - but this appointment is very useful to enhance Zheng Sen's status in the Eighteen Zhi Group.

Although the Eighteen Zhi Group is headed by Zheng Zhilong, this group is not Zheng's private property, but more of a gang. In order for Zheng Sen to become a young master, he must be recognized by other gang members, including the uncles of the Zheng family.

And the support of Prince Fujun can make Zheng Sen stand out in the Eighteen Zhi Gang!

Similarly, Zhu Cihong also needs a senior brother who is close to him to control the Eighteen Zhi Maritime Business Group!

Qian Qianyi understood Zhu Cihong's mind in a blink of an eye, and immediately said to Zheng Sen with a smile: "Da Mu, I don't thank you for being a thousand years old!" ”

Although Zheng Sen didn't think through all the key points, he also knew how important Zhu Cihong's support was to him, so he hurriedly got up and kowtowed to Zhu Cihong, "Minister Zheng Sen kowtows to thank Chitose." ”

Zhu Cihong raised his hand with a smile and motioned for Zheng Sen to get up and return to his seat, "Senior brother doesn't need to say thank you, now that tomorrow is stormy, and this palace is ordered to raise the army, and it needs the assistance of a person like Senior Brother, who is both civil and military." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zheng Sen's tone was still respectful, but he had already changed his words.

"Your Royal Highness, Senior Brother......" Zhu Cihong smiled, "Let's call it like this in the future." ”

......

In the city of Ohara Prefecture, these days, the vigilance has been strengthened a little bit compared to the past. The people inside and outside the city, all who had the strength to do it, were recruited by the Dashun army, and they dug up the earth and stacked stones like crazy to repair the city outline. The moat outside the city has been deepened and widened, the female wall battlements have also been thickened and heightened, and the various battle situations defending the city are also being prepared with all their might.

The Dashun soldiers stationed in various parts of Shanxi also contracted for the first time, mainly gathering on the line from Guguan (Jingcheng) to Taiyuan Fucheng, preparing to resist the Tatar army that was about to enter Koushan.

In June and the coming July, there was an eerie calm between the Ming, Shun, and Qing dynasties.

The Qing side, which had successfully entered Beijing, basically stopped its offensive operations after expelling the Dashun army from Beizhili. On the western route, it stops at Taihang Mountain, and on the southern route, it stops at the Daimyo Mansion, Zhangde Mansion, and the northern part of Jinan and Dongchang Provinces.

On the other hand, the Dashun Dynasty shrank its forces in Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and other places, gave up large areas of territory one after another, and transferred the main force to Shaanxi and the area of Taiyuan Prefecture in Shanxi.

Pose from west to east and the Qing and Ming families compete for the world.

And Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi, seems to be about to become the focus of the next Shunqing decisive battle!

On the streets of Taiyuan, there are always brigades of blue-robed troops coming and going, and I don't know whether to deploy defenses in the city, or to drive out of the city to build a fortress on the east mountain?

In the Jin Palace, several officials of Dashun were whispering to Li Zicheng in the main hall. And Li Zicheng also looked a little thinner, but his eyes were doubly bright. He didn't sit on the throne, but stood behind a desk, looking at the map spread out on the desk, frowning, as if thinking about something.

The situation today is not quite the same as it was at the same time in history, and the Qing Dynasty did not look so powerful. And Daming has a faint hint of ZTE! On the map of Shanxi spread out on the desk, the Ming Dynasty still controls the territory of Datong Mansion, and also places a king, a governor, and two general soldiers in Datong Mansion!

One of the kings was the thirteen-year-old acting vassal king Zhu Cijiong, the first governor was the trilateral governor Wang Yongji, and the second general soldier was Jiang Huang, the chief soldier of Datong Town, and Gao Di, the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town. Not only is the strength not small, but the momentum is even greater!

It was precisely because of the existence of the Datong Ming Army that the pressure Li Zicheng faced from the Qing army was greatly reduced. Datong's goal is quite big, and it can always contain a part of the Qing army. If the two sides can join forces, Shanxi is also promising.

However, Datong's attitude towards Dashun and Daqing gave Li Zicheng a bit of a headache.

"Emperor, the envoy we sent to Datong asked Wang Yongji and Jiang Hao to kill them again! There are also rumors that Wang Yongji and Jiang Hao have sent envoys to Beijing, preparing to attack us together with the Tartars! ”

"Emperor, our spies lurking in Beijing have come to report that the Tartars are negotiating with the Dai Fan about the canonization, and they want to make the Dai Fan the Prince of the Tartars. After the negotiation is settled, it is necessary to attack Taiyuan with the Dai Domain. ”

"Emperor, if the Ming army in Datong votes for the Tartars, then we will be in a position to take care of. Moreover, there are gentry who oppose us all over Shanxi now, and they can't stabilize the situation at all, so it's better to take a step back and go back to their hometown in Shaanxi. ”
