The meeting in the council hall lasted from morning to evening, and perhaps because it was the first time, many officials seldom made any comments, and when they found it reasonable, they immediately passed it.

Among them, the key to talking about is, in fact, to put it bluntly, money.

Agrarian peoples sometimes fight more than logistics.

Wang Fuzhi proposed two things, minting money and borrowing, which were discussed with Wang Yan, and the purpose was to solve the cost of the battle of Jiangnan.

Generally speaking, it is the right of the imperial court to mint money, and the local government has no right to mint money, but Wang Yan has a lot of lice now, and he doesn't care about this, after all, minting money can quickly increase his income.

This time, the coinage was mainly minted copper, but some silver and gold coins were also minted.

There is such an idea, because Wang Fuzhi obtained a large number of silver coins and gold coins from Xiyi when he was running the city, which was more convenient to use than silver ingots and broken silver.

Now with the trade, the economy is becoming more and more prosperous, and the people also need some more convenient currency, always can not always carry a handful of copper coins, or every time you buy goods, you have to use a small scale to weigh the silver, and knock off a piece of it, too inconvenient, not conducive to the development of commerce, so it is imperative to mint money.

This not only allows the household to make a quick amount of money, but also promotes the development of commerce, of course, there are also drawbacks, that is, it further increases the inflation caused by the large inflow of silver and increases the burden on the people.

With regard to borrowing, there are precedents set in the first two cases, and now as long as the vassal states have no money, the first solution that officials think of is probably to borrow money from the Chamber of Commerce.

Although Wang Fuzhi predicted that the tax of the feudal kingdom might exceed 10 million taels this year, the 10 million yuan would not be collected until the end of the year, and the battle of Jiangnan would be fought now, and the money would be needed immediately, so he had to continue to borrow.

In addition to minting money, borrowing money, and preparing for war, there is another thing that needs to be mentioned in particular, that is, the two academies of national studies and martial arts, which can probably be completed in October.

These issues were discussed and finally passed one by one and handed over to the ministries for implementation.

At the beginning of April, 70,000 Jiangxi Ming troops killed Chizhou, and the vanguard of Zheng Cheng's attack also appeared in the East China Sea, and the battle of Jiangnan broke out, and the old emperor who was over fifty years old personally sounded the horn to recover the southern capital.

After a lapse of more than a month, a batch of gunpowder transferred by Li Suiqiu from Guangzhou, as well as a large number of equipment produced by the cannon casting workshop, the ordnance supervisor and the civilian workshop, a total of 50 large ships, finally arrived in Wuchang.

Because of the hurry and the high labor intensity, many slender men who pulled boats even died of exhaustion on both sides of the river.

Wang Yan saw that the soldiers and civilians under his rule had paid a lot for this campaign, and felt very pressured, if he failed, he would not only be sorry for the people, but also ruin his political ideals, so he did not dare to be sloppy, and immediately issued a military order after learning that Longwu had sent troops.

He Tengjiao's Shence Fifth Army, plus the Houyong Battalion, probably nearly 100,000 people, after the Ministry of War issued an order, Wang Yan transferred 40,000 soldiers from them, and promoted them to the sharp soldiers of the Five Loyal Army, so that the strength of the Five Loyal Army reached its peak.

The whole process of adjustment is very time-consuming, and when Longwu sent troops, only the first to be stationed in Wuchang Dubiao and Zhongyong Town to supplement the completion, and a little training, the loyalty from Hunan has just begun to replenish, and Zhongwu and Zhongzhi are still rushing to Wuchang.

Although Wang Yan did not deal with the emperor, and intended to compete with the emperor for the credit of recovering Nanjing, and wanted to suppress the imperial court, he did not want to watch the sudden defeat of the Ming army in Jiangxi, which would make the situation ruined.

When he learned that the Ming army in Jiangxi was rushing to Nanjing, he was a little worried, and 70,000 horses marched along the south bank of the Yangtze River to fight the Jiangnan guarded by 150,000 people, and he felt that he had little chance of winning.

Wang Yan could tolerate a small defeat of the emperor and was happy to see him fight with the Qing soldiers, but he did not want to see a big defeat bury the situation.

At this time, the materials from Guangdong arrived, and the reserve of materials was increased from being able to support 20,000 people to 40,000 people.

Jiangxi's sailors were not strong, so the emperor walked on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and Wang Yan also issued an article in Wuchang, saying, "In the past, the five chaotic Chinese were only passed on again and again." Today, the East should be prophesied, suitable for a period of five years. It's true that the way of heaven is good, and the situation is also thoughtful. Since Jiashen was shocked, Shenjing Lu sank. The chieftain himself belonged to Yi, and he repeatedly rebelled, so he took advantage of many difficulties and stole the Central Plains. The clothes became dogs and sheep, and the country fell to Rongdi. There is no flesh that does not gnaw his teeth at the slave chieftains. This feudal Fengtian initiative, cut down the crime and hang the people, the ancient law used soldiers, the first to take Jinling, the people were born in water and fire, and the prestige of the Han officials was restored. The civil and military generals of the pseudo-bureau are all Han sons. It is natural and righteous, Huayi's distinction is very clear, woody water source, loyalty and filial piety are at ease. Now the soldiers are approaching, revenge and shame, how can it wait for a different time. The benevolence and righteousness of this domain are simple, the rewards and punishments are clear, and those who raise troops to return to the right will not correct the past, and those who are stubborn will be punished by the clan. The division will no longer be raised, the time will not come again, the proclamation will be far and wide, and the salt will be known. Sincerely, the Ombudsman. ”

With the issuance of the message, Wang Yan raised troops in Wuchang, ordered Dai Zhifan to be the vanguard officer, and led an army of 30,000 to the east along the north of the Yangtze River to share some pressure for the emperor, protect the emperor's flanks, and also clear the way for the follow-up army.

The Ming Dynasty's action was so big that it had already alarmed Hong Chengchou in Jiangnan.

As early as March, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's meticulous work continued to send back news, and the movements of Longwu, Zheng Chenggong, and Wang Yan slowly converged on Hong Chengchou's desk, and he knew that something was wrong.

All kinds of indications show that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, as he expected, was about to send troops to attack Jiangnan after the peace agreement broke down, but the Southern Dynasty came a little quickly, and he was not completely prepared.

If it was just the Ming army coming from Jiangxi all the way, Hong Chengchou would not be afraid, and even had the confidence to eat this Ming army, but this time there were more troops from the Southern Dynasties, with King Lu and Zheng Chenggong on the sea in the east, and Longwu and Wang Yan in the west.

In particular, the intelligence from Huguang shows that the five loyal armies have five towns and one standard, except for Zhongyi Town, which is a key town in eastern Sichuan, several other troops are moving to Hubei, and Wang Yan has gathered so many elites, it must be inevitable for Jiangnan, which makes him a little uneasy.

At the beginning of April, Duoduo, who had besieged Rugao for more than a month, suddenly returned to Yangzhou on the eve of the breakdown, which relieved Zhang Mingzhen, Xie Qian and others.

At this time, the fleets of Lu Jianguo and Zheng Chenggong entered the Yangtze River estuary one after the other, and Lu Jianguo brought Zhang Mingzhen a large amount of rice and grain purchased from Guangzhou, as well as gunpowder and weapons bought from Japan, equipped with men and horses, and also published an article to discuss the clarification.

However, after Lu Fan released the text, there was no follow-up action, and he did not chase and kill the retreating Duoduo, but rested in Rugao and other places.

The reason why Duoduo was forced to withdraw his troops was that Longwu and Wang Yan sent troops one after another.

On April 15, Dai Zhifan set out from Wuchang with 30,000 people in Zhongyong Town, 10,000 people with high morale, and at the same time, Jin Shenghuan and the Qing general Jin Li fought fiercely in Chizhou, Zheng Chenggong landed from Jinshanwei, attacked Songjiang Mansion, and sounded the clarion call to recover the southern capital.
