Under the influence of Zhang Qiang, Longwu Nanming fought an evenly matched battle with the Qing army, completely crippled Kong Youde, consumed nearly 200,000 troops of the Qing army, and reversed the situation that the Qing army had been oppressing Zai Nanming.

Now it seems that if the Qing army does not increase troops to Guangxi Prefecture, relying on the original remnants of Kong Youde, plus the Ma Degong brothers who were reluctantly sent back, Mang Gurtai was beaten and frightened Tens of thousands of remnants of the Southern Ming Army were defeated, it seems that so many troops, in fact, everyone knows that they can no longer pose a threat to the Southern Ming Army.

On the contrary, after Yongli Daming was attacked by Kong Youde monk Kexi shamelessly, he returned to the army angrily and led the 80,000 elite Yongli Daming army to the gate of Kong Youde's Guilin Mansion, which made Mang Gurtai, who took Guilin Mansion, feel pressure, and the Ma Degong brothers shrank in the two county towns south of Guilin Mansion and trembled, not daring to make any moves, while Kong Youde was even more loud, and he was shocked three times a night, and repeatedly wanted to propose to Hong Chengchou, who controlled the southern war situation, to escape to Huguang.

Feng Quan, who was sitting in Guilin Mansion, also had a headache, and asked Hong Chengchou for reinforcements again.

Hong Chengchou had to transfer the Qing army led by Prince Zierharang from Huguang, for which he repeatedly played the Manchu court and stated to Dorgon, so Jierharang led an army of 50,000 and brought a town of Hong Chengchou's new army troops to pull cannons and stationed in Guilin Mansion, in this way, the strength of the Qing army increased again to more than 200,000 troops, which was already very good in Hong Chengchou's opinion, and 200,000 troops could at least stabilize the situation here.

In order to fill the gap in Huguang's troops, he transferred the Qing army from three towns to Huguang and the 30,000 Qing army green battalion to reinforce Huguang.

Because Huguang was not quiet, Li Guo's loyal battalion was not sure when he would come back from Henan Mansion to fight Hubei Prefecture, and then rush into Huguang, beat the Qing army defending the city, take one or two county seats, and slipped away when the Qing army surrounded them.

He Tengjiao is like a roller coaster, these days the Qing army pressed over, he fled with his troops, the Qing army troops were transferred, and he came back, in short, just like a slippery loach, tossing hard, just not out of Huguang.

Maybe he didn't wipe out thousands of Qing troops, but instead harmed many rebel troops and rebel armies of the Yongli Southern Ming Dynasty in Huguang, and even the common people, but he also dragged down nearly 100,000 troops of the Qing army, which can be regarded as a contribution to the Han court.

The reason why Hong Chengchou did not notice these changes was because of the Lu State, Zhu Yihai and Zhang Huangyan of the Lu State fought many battles with the Qing army on Chongming Island, as long as the vitality recovered, Zhang Huangyan led the troops to attack, landed and harassed the Qing army, and laid down one or two county seats, and then the Qing army came over to defeat him again to recover the county seat, Zhang Huangyan fled back to Chongming Island by boat with the remnants, continued to lick the wounds, gathered troops, and defended the Qing army of the counterattack.

Although Zheng Chenggong had a very pleasant quarrel with the court of the Lu State, he was still loyal to his duties, covering the attacking troops of the Lu State every time, and defeating the naval division of the Qing army many times in the water battle, so that the naval division of the Qing army can only maintain the near shore and defend on the north bank of the Yangtze River, but cannot attack Chongming Island on a large scale and completely destroy the Lu State.

Here, Zhang Qiang's plan is proceeding in an orderly manner.

60,000 troops were successively transferred in place, Xiao Fei led these troops to quietly enter Yuezhou Mansion, although the Qing army also found out that there was something wrong here, mobilized troops, but their deployment of troops in Huguang was still not much, it was still very scattered, and the defense of the Huaxia army was not very tight.

After Zhang Qiang deployed everything, he returned to the center once, and met with Zhu Panpan for the first time in several years, the relationship between the two eased a little, Zhu Panpan is already very mature, not as childish as before, and shows the politeness of a lady and the shrewdness of a businessman.

The two chatted very speculatively, which made Zhu Dadian, who was looking forward to Zhu Panpan becoming Zhang Qiang's woman, very happy, and when he came back, he was more polite to Zhang Qiang, and faintly regarded himself as a father-in-law, but he was very respectful of Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang also received information from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Supervision, and Zhu Dadian's return this time is no longer the style of a corrupt official in the past, he is very dedicated to his work, and the deputy prime minister is very tasteful.

Shared a large part of the work for Zhou Congee.

And Zhou Congee actually fell in love with Jin Sheng's daughter in his spare time, and the two were repeatedly detected by officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on a secret date and traveled together.

However, Wei Wuji was still guarding Jinling Mansion, staring at Hong Chengchou's movements on the other side, not daring to relax at all.

However, Tang Dianfeng, who was transferred to Guangzhou Mansion, sent Zhang Qiang a note, talking about the recent movements of the Southern Ming Army and the Yongli Ming Army.

Zhang Qiang read it carefully.

According to the report of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, as well as Tang Dianfeng's exchanges with officials of the Southern Ming Kingdom, the Southern Ming Kingdom and the Yongli Ming Dynasty reconciled for the first time, and Wen Anzhi took the initiative to send an envoy to the Southern Ming Kingdom from thousands of miles away, and the two reached an intention to cooperate.

Wen Anzhi is old, but he is the highest court official of Yongli Ming in the Ming Kingdom, the head of civil officials, sitting in Sichuan, firmly grasping some military generals of Kuidong's Dashun and the rest of Daxi, leading them to compete with Haoge, Wu Sangui and other main forces of the Qing army, and has also made a lot of achievements, he is more loyal and upright, loyal to Yongli Daming, people are also smarter, know how to be flexible, even Li Chengdong has to respect him a little, sometimes listen to his orders, accept his dispatch.

According to this information, Wen Anzhi reached a series of cooperation agreements with Longwu, Zhu Yujian, and Su Guansheng.

The two are brotherly states, respect each other in the future, and do not invade each other's territory, if the Qing army fights and pins down each other's troops, the Qing army that invades the other party's territory is mainly solved by the other party, and must not invade the other party's territory without the invitation of the other party.

This article is mainly put forward by Longwu Nanming, because now Li Dingguo's department is strong, and the Nanming army, which has just fought a decisive battle with the Qing army, is adjusting and replenishing its troops, and the territory area of the defense has expanded sharply a lot, and the troops are stretched, and the Qing army can only suppress and confront each other, but it is unable to attack anymore, if the Yongli Ming Dynasty takes the opportunity to kill into their hinterland, they will not be able to reconvene the scattered Southern Ming army, and in such a vast territory, many mountains, many waters, and complex terrain can contain the attack of the Yongli Daming.

So they resorted to high-level negotiations, sacrificing some interests to reach a peace agreement in exchange for the other side's non-invasion, in exchange for time to retrain troops, recruit troops, and absorb the newly occupied territory of Guangxi Prefecture.

The advantage they promised to Yongli Daming was that the 80,000 captives of the Qing army captured this time were handed over to Li Dingguo's ministry of 20,000, Wen'an's ministry of 20,000, and their own consumption of 40,000, and gave up some undefensible county towns in Guangxi Prefecture near Yunnan Prefecture, so that Li Dingguo's army garrison became the territory of Yongli Daming, and the condition was that after Li Dingguo conquered Guilin Mansion, Guilin Mansion to Huguang, and the territory of Yunnan-Guizhou border was handed over to the Southern Ming Army.

In this way, the Southern Ming army could directly face the Qing army, and at the same time get a territory favorable to itself and a presumably complete Guangxi Prefecture, expanding its territory by nearly doubling, which was a win-win situation for both sides.

The Southern Ming Army provided food, grass, ammunition, guns, and artillery for the attacking Li Dingguo Army, but did not participate in the attack of Li Dingguo's Department, because Li Dingguo's Ministry did not want the Southern Ming Army to participate in his revenge action, and Li Dingguo was also very individual.

The Southern Ming Army was only in Liuzhou Mansion to plunder the Yongli Ming Army, cover the rear of the Yongli Ming Dynasty, and provide logistical support.

This is the first time that Yongli and Nanming have cooperated since the Qing army entered the customs.

Seeing this, Zhang Qiang had to admire Zhu Yujian, the emperor, who was very shrewd, good at using various forces, good at compromise, forbearance, and patience.

At the same time, Li Dingguo's ministry bought 10,000 second-hand Jingai 1 arquebuses used by the Nanming Army used by Su Zhengqing's Ministry of the Southern Ming Army, and the Jingai 1 arquebuses of the Huaxia Army purchased by the Nanming Army are now equivalent to three hands, Zhang Qiang believes that Su Zhengqing and Su Guansheng are not so incorruptible, and will really sell the ninety percent of the new arquebuses they bought to Li Dingguo's Yongli Daming Department, which must have been used by them.

10,000 such arquebuses.

At the same time, 80 cannons were purchased and captured from the Qing army, and 50 cannons, three-pounder guns, eight-pounder guns, and ten-pounder cannons sold by the Huaxia Army eliminated by the Southern Ming Army, as well as 20 three-pounder guns, four-pounder guns, and ten-pounder cannons imitated by the Southern Ming Army, and related gunpowder, bullets, and shells were not counted.

In this way, after a round of firepower reinforcement, Li Dingguo's troops changed their weapons and equipment, and the original broken weapons and equipment were directly thrown into the 20,000 civilian troops recruited by them, as well as the Yungui Tusi prisoner auxiliary troops sent from the rear, so that Li Dingguo's troops had 30,000 auxiliary troops with little combat effectiveness on the basis of 80,000 troops.

Li Dingguo also hired instructors of the new army in Su Zhengqing's troops, who had just won the battle, with high salaries, to strengthen the training and guide the tactics of his 60,000 new army troops, so that his troops were also reborn within half a month.

In this way, Li Dingguo has 20,000 elite old battalion troops with cold weapons, plus 60,000 new army troops, and 30,000 civilian auxiliary troops of newly recruited mothers, and the strength of the army can be called abundant.

This made Kong Youde of Guilin Mansion tremble even more, he reorganized the defeated troops, re-recruited troops, spent money like running water, and finally reintegrated his troops into a combat-ready force with 50,000 troops.

The battle between the two sides is about to break out because of Li Dingguo's revenge.

Zhang Qiang patted the information and smiled helplessly, he didn't expect that the two imperial courts of the Ming Dynasty, which had always been high, would come together because of a rash sneak attack by Kong Youde, this is simply big news, and later historians don't know how many scalps to scratch and how many hairs to pull off to explain this strange cooperation.

Because in history, these two have always dismantled each other and attacked each other, and there is no precedent for cooperation.

And Zhang Qiang also saw who Zhu Yujian learned from this hand, that is, he Huaxia Army, he was cheated many times, and others also learned well, and he also played the pit teammates of the Huaxia Army.

After Li Dingguo's revenge was completed, he got several remote counties in Guangxi Prefecture, which seemed to have no losses, but was actually used by Zhu Yujian as a gunman, not only without losing troops, but also allowing others to fight for him, isn't this Zhang Qiang's handiwork?
