Yu, this time, a total of 20,000 pieces of grain, 1,000 quintals of oil, 200 quintals of seeds, 500 quintals of cotton, 3,000 quintals of salt, 10,000 quintals of tea, 300 bluestone inkstones, 300 mules and horses, 100 war horses, 2,000 pieces of old cotton armor, 5,000 pieces of new cloth armor, 1,500 pieces of leather armor, 500 broadswords, 300 horn bows, 5,000 arrows, 15,000 dragon chariots, and 200 carts.

A waiter from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce sang aloud to Zhang Qiang a list of transactions with Li Dingguo's ministry.

"Previously, Li Dingguo's envoy also proposed to our army to send sergeants to other armies to train soldiers, but Zhu Panpan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Zhu Daren thought that this was an act of supporting the enemy, and ordered that if this matter was encountered in the future, it would be rejected and there was no need to discuss it again. No one dared to raise objections. ”

Zhang Qiang listened to the cabinet resolution issued by Zhu Dadian and Zhu Panpan, the father and daughter of Zhou Congee, and couldn't laugh or cry, although he thought that they were doing the right thing, the Huaxia Army was no longer the small force that needed to pit Nanming and appease Nanming to strengthen its strength and attract the attention of the enemy, but the two fathers and daughters operated the government like this also made him feel that this was too child's play.

Zhou Congee too, this resolution was sent out before it was passed, where would it be for him, so he was waiting for Zhou Congee's explanation, Zhou Congee was already about to be coaxed by Zhu Dadian, the old fox, to be dizzy, and he could actually let them pass this resolution without informing him, or discussing it with him.

The waiter of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, who came to report, continued to read, this is the materials obtained by the Huaxia Army from Li Dingguo: "5,000 furs, 10,000 bamboos, 500 ivory, 300 catties of tiger bones, 10,000 catties of fish, 30,000 quintals of saltpeter, 3,000 quintals of Yunnan tea, 500 carts of various fruits, 50,000 catties of iron, 30,000 catties of sulfur, 15,000 catties of charcoal, 10,000 quintals of raw silk, 3,000 precious forest trees, 7,000 quintals of medicinal herbs, 200 beauties, 200 elephants, 300 macaques, 3,000 Buddhist beads, a box of Burmese jade, 300 agate...... ”

What is this?

Zhang Qiang listened for a long time, except for the materials needed for iron and gunpowder, the others were some civilian materials, which were not of great help to the Huaxia Army, and it seemed that Yunnan Prefecture and Yunnan Guizhou were really poor, and they couldn't get any materials needed by the Huaxia Army.

Forget it, forget it, anyway, this is something tossed by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the business matter should be handed over to Zhu Panpan, I hope he will not finish tossing the Huaxia Army, and he will only fight the war and fight the world.

With this opinion, Zhang Qiang waved his hand to the waiter of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, signaling him to do what he should do, leave the paperwork, and go back to the center by himself.

Zhang Qiang, the cabinet ministry, still retains the original official name of the Ming Dynasty, although a Ministry of Industry and Commerce sounds like the name of the ministry of later generations, in fact, it is a name, which is in charge of merchant inventory, taxes, various official caravans of the Huaxia Army, and business registration and other projects, on the territory of the Huaxia Army, not you just open a shop, no, you have to go to the Yamen under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to register, if you don't register, there will be a government service the next day, and you will come to the door to find your trouble.

This is conducive to preventing the infiltration of the enemy's spies, to controlling the number and manpower of the merchants, and to preventing them from disrupting the economy of the Huaxia Army.

Why do you want to keep these Ming official names?

Because Zhang Qiang previously set up what ministers, department heads, directors, section chiefs or something, people don't understand the Ming people, so they can only change the official names of the officials in these parts back, what kind of squire is installed, give the matter, and so on The corresponding Ming official names, so that those who originally studied the Ming books will understand, and then the politics are harmonious, and all kinds of ways of doing things can also be used everywhere, otherwise the people don't know what the Huaxia Army is doing, what those officials do, and someone has to explain, which is very troublesome.

After sending off the waiter of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Zhang Qiang and Gu Yuesheng continued to discuss the affairs of Hubei Prefecture.

He has been leading his troops and not going in other directions, or turning back to the center, because he also has to plan the third phase of the strategic plan, whether to capture Henan Prefecture and cut off Hong Chengchou from fleeing to the Qing territory, or directly attack the half of Anhui Prefecture and the half of Suzhou Prefecture, and directly destroy Hong Chengchou's original Qing army team, which will not only liberate the Huaxia Army troops on the Yangtze River defense line, but also expand the territory of the Huaxia Army to the south bank of Huaishui, and harvest the territory of the two provinces at the same time.

In that way, the Huaxia army really occupied the richest place in the Qing State and the richest place in the south, and at the same time cut off the lifeline of the Qing State to supply the northern capital through the Grand Canal, cutting it off from the source.

Hong Chengchou also secretly communicated with the Qing army, and the intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Department who were ambushed in the Qing army knew about it.

According to the intelligence, the battle between Hong Chengchou and the court of Lu is becoming more and more intense, Zhang Huangyan is not a person who admits defeat, it is impossible for Hong Chengchou to intercede with Hong Chengchou because of the surrender of Hong Chengchou and the strength of Lu State, and send him to the position of first assistant, and Hong Chengchou is not willing to be subordinate, he must become the first person in the court, control the entire court of Lu, and be a courtier of a very popular minister.

So this kind of marriage planted the fuse from the beginning, and the misfortune began.

The two sides fought openly and secretly, and each other won and lost, mainly because the original officials of the Lu State won in the court again, but they were defeated at the bottom, Hong Chengchou used various means to buy, assassinate, and intimidate, so that the Ming officials of the Lu court soon fell to Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou soon controlled the court, and Zhang Huangyan and Lu Zhenfei were not good people, and privately controlled the courtiers who were generally loyal to the Ming Dynasty and loyal to them, the key is that they still have tens of thousands of armed troops.

Maybe they are not as brave and good at fighting as the Qing army, but they have also experienced the war, and because of Zheng Chenggong's help in the early stage, they are obviously much more powerful than the Qing army in terms of water divisions, and they are not inferior to Hong Chengchou's new army troops in more than a dozen towns in terms of firearms.

So the two sides went from fighting with their mouths, to using various means to buy courtiers, fighting openly and secretly in the court, and finally sending dead soldiers to kill each other's officials who supported them, which made the court of Lu a miasma.

In the end, Hong Chengchou and Lu Zhenfei's army troops fought, and the two sides went from a duel and friction between one or two people, to the addition of fists and feet of thirty or forty people, to the final weapon fight.

Development for Hong Chengchou to buy Lu Zhenfei a naval general, suddenly led a town of new troops to break into Chongming Island, directly killed the Lu Guoming army on Chongming Island, occupied Chongming Island, at this time, Hong Chengchou received the Shunzhi Emperor to give him an edict of pardon, beckoning him to return to the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou thought about it, and finally when Zhang Qiang's Huaxia army stopped recuperating and no longer went north, the handsome soldiers killed Lu Zhenfei, captured the palace, captured Zhu Yihai, as well as the various eunuchs and concubines in the palace, generals, Hunt down Zhang Huangyan and his supporters throughout the territory.

After Zhang Qiang sent away the waiter of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the most urgent military information he received was this military information, Hong Chengchou rebelled and rebelled into the Qing Dynasty.
