The rise of Wei has brought about major changes in the general trend of the world.

Nanming had become aware of the threat he faced, and from the Manchu to the Wei state, various national policies began to change.

The scouts of Xuanyiwei went down the river from Yuezhou, and only from the things that could be seen with the naked eye, they could find the strategic focus of the Southern Ming, and began to change from guarding against the Manchu Qing to targeting the Wei State.

Huang Degong, who was stationed in Hefei, moved to Wuchang City, and the most capable general of the Southern Ming Dynasty had changed from fighting against the Manchu Qing to guarding against the Wei army.

Along the Yangtze River, Wuchang and Anqing have become important towns, all of which have stationed heavy troops, and there are people who are transforming the city walls to increase the enemy's platforms and edges.

Merchant ships came all the way, and there were three or four military camps in sight, warships shuttled on the Yangtze River, and a huge naval division was stationed in Jiujiang.

All this shows that Nanjing's policy is changing.

At this time, Zhu Cihong, who had been in Jiangbei for more than half a year, finally returned to Nanjing in June.

In Nanjing City, in the palace city, Zhu Cihong was in the imperial study, listening to the reports of the ministers.

"Your Majesty, Ding Kuichu, the governor of Liangguang, Chen Youlong, Jiao Lian, Zhao Yinxuan, and Hu Yiqing, the governors of Yang Wenyue, as well as Yang Chaodong and Gan Hui, the generals of the Zheng army, defeated the Sun thief who invaded Guangzhou in Zhaoqing, broke the Sun thief elephant array, and beheaded 10,000 people."

"Good!" Zhu Cihong waved his fist and praised, if Sun Kewang couldn't win, anyone could beat him, then it would be meaningless for him to sit as an emperor.

Ruan Dacheng glanced at Zhu Cihong, saw that the emperor was excited, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, after this battle, the threat of the western thieves to Guangzhou will be lifted, and when the reinforcements arrive, the situation in Guangzhou, Guangzhou, will be stable." ”

A few months ago, Sun Kewang outflanked the Ming army from Annan, defeated the Ming army in Liangguang, and the army advanced all the way to Guangzhou, which actually had the meaning of sweeping Liangguang, and frightened Zhu Cihong a lot, and now the Ming army finally won a battle in Liangguang, curbing Sun Kewang's momentum, and finally let Zhu Cihong breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhu Cihong took the song over, read it again, and said excitedly: "Proposed purpose, Yang Wenyue will be reinstated, the rank of left squire of the military department will be added, Chen Youlong and Jiao Lian will be added as the general soldiers, and the rest of the generals will be promoted by one level, and another 100,000 taels of silver will be allocated to reward the army!" ”

"Command!" Ruan Dacheng immediately saluted.

Now Gao Mingyu has died of illness, Ma Shiying is in charge of Jiangbei, and the nominal first assistant of the Nanjing cabinet is Shi Kefa, but the cabinet is actually the second assistant Ruan Dacheng.

Zhu Cihong was a little excited, and after finishing speaking, he asked: "Wuchang Defense, how about the recruitment of the new army?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Yasukuni is sitting in Wuchang, the imperial court has sent heavy troops upstream, Wuchang and Anqing are strengthening the city defenses, and the first division of the Jiangshui Division has also moved to Poyang Lake, and there should be no problem in guarding against the Huguang Wei army." Ruan Dacheng paused, "As for the recruitment of the new army, the military department has only recruited 30,000 people now. ”

Zhu Cihong frowned, "How can there be enough people for this, we must recruit troops as soon as possible!" ”

Ruan Dacheng said: "It is too expensive to recruit troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is not easy to recruit people who dare to fight, and the cabinet has sent people to recruit troops in western Zhejiang, southern Jiangnan, Chenzhou and Yongshun Xuanwei Division. Within this year, we should be able to raise 50,000 people! ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, but still said, "Recruit soldiers quickly, recruit early, train early, and use them for the country as soon as possible." ”

Seeing that several people said yes, Zhu Cihong finally asked, "Is there anything else to play?" ”

Ruan Dacheng glanced left and right, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a confidential report!" ”

Zhu Cihong's eyes narrowed, and then he said to the other ministers: "A few Aiqing should step back first!" ”

When Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Liu Zongzhou and others came out of the study, Zhu Cihong said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? ”

Ruan Dacheng lowered his voice and said: "There is news from the north, I hope that the two sides can continue to reduce the border garrison and use military forces to guard against the Western Wei!" ”

Zhu Cihong stood up, frowned and paced, stopped in the middle of a sound, looked at Ruan Dacheng and said, "Can I trust Jiannu?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Western Wei Dynasty is a fierce tiger, and now we must weave a big net and unite as one to have a chance to trap him." Ruan Dacheng was the main peace faction to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he said in a deep voice.

The Western Wei was expanding its army, intending to have an absolute advantage in terms of troops, and the Manchu Qing and Southern Ming were both opponents of the Western Wei, and if the two sides contained most of the troops on the border, it would be even more difficult to deal with the Western Wei.

If the two sides reduce the garrison on the border, or put the new army with weak combat strength on the border, they can hit the elite troops to deal with the Western Wei.

Although you can't attack, at least when you defend, you will have some confidence.

"Together?" Zhu Cihong shook his head, "Unless Jiannu returns Beijing to me, how can I unite with Jiannu?" ”

Seeing this, Ruan Dacheng hurriedly said: "Now that the Western Wei Dynasty is strong, the minister thinks that I, Daming and Jiannu, must use all their strength to compete with it." If His Majesty is not at ease, the minister thinks that the two sides can send officials to each other to enter the front line and monitor whether the other side really withdraws troops. ”

Zhu Cihong pondered for a moment and nodded, "It's okay for me to deal with it like this." ”

"Then go back to the north!" Ruan Dacheng said happily.

Zhu Cihong bowed slightly, Ruan Dacheng just walked to the door of the imperial study, Zhu Cihong hurriedly ordered again: "Qing family, be secretive!" ”

~~~

Beijing City, the residence of the Prince Regent.

Dolgon stood in front of the map with his hands in his hand, listening to the report of the minister Feng Quan, "Lord Wang, Nanming's side agreed to the prince's suggestion, but proposed that the two sides must send officials to each other's borders to monitor the movements of the two armies. ”

Dolgon nodded and said, "The little emperor Zhu Cihong can still see the situation clearly, and this king agreed to his conditions, and I, Daqing, am not very confident about him. ”

The Wei army did not attack, and Dolgon reached a reconciliation with Hauge, coupled with the appearance of Jungar, so that Dolgon saw a glimmer of hope to keep Shandong, Beizhi and other places.

At this time, Feng Quan said again: "Ruan Dacheng, a scholar of Nanjing University, let the servants convey to the prince, now that the Western Wei Dynasty is strong, the Ming and Qing dynasties can only trap Gao Yihuan, the tiger, by working together to weave a big net, and I hope that the prince must keep the contract." ”

Dolgon turned around and couldn't help but say, "This Ruan Dacheng is quite knowledgeable, weaving a net to trap Gao Yihuan~~~"

The speaker who talked to himself walked to the map, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly squinted his eyes and said: "If Gao Yihuan is a tiger, then the Qing Dynasty is now a wolf, Zhu Cihong is a little worse, at most a dog, such a net, at most can only protect itself, but it cannot defeat the tiger!" The only way to defeat the Tiger is to invite another beast to join in. If you add Dzungol, this king may really be able to organize a siege network to trap the Western Wei! ”

For a while, Dolgon's eyes quickly searched on the map, Jungger, Eastern Mongolia, Haoge, Daqing, Zhu Cihong, and even Sun Kewang could be added to build an encirclement network, Gao Yihuan Even if he was a tiger, I am afraid he would not be able to deal with it.

"Did Fan Wencheng come back with the news?" Dorgon asked, turning his head suddenly.

Feng Quan said: "A few days ago, news came that Zhunger promised to form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Qing Dynasty, but they did not attack Guanzhong, but chose to attack Yarkand. ”

Dolgon frowned slightly, and then said, "Good! Good! Good! Jungar will defeat Yarkand, cut off Gao Yihuan's trade routes, strengthen his own strength, and will grow into a hungry wolf, which will be beneficial to my Qing Dynasty! ”
