Wang Yan reached an agreement with the two, but it was all verbal, and it was impossible for the imperial court to show weakness on the face of the rebellion.

It will take a long time for King Lu and Zheng Chenggong to transfer to Luzon, and Wang Yan is not in a hurry, as long as they are willing to go, there is basically no threat to him.

In the case of Luzon, at least for 30 years, it is impossible to become a threat to the Ming Dynasty, and 30 years later, the Ming Dynasty has already dominated the world and become a unified and rich empire, who will remember Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu.

In addition to this, within the Ming Dynasty, the containment of Wang Yan was temporarily lifted, and there was still a non-climatic King Yu on Tai Island, who might not be satisfied with him, but his threat to Wang Yan was already negligible.

After the negotiations, Wang Yan immediately returned to Nanjing, prepared to deal with the Manchu attack, and integrated the cabinet, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian officialdom, and incorporated the armies of the Tang and Lu factions.

Wang Yan gave Zhu Yihai and Zheng Chenggong three months to evacuate their personnel and assets from Zhejiang and Fujian, and after three months, they could no longer move.

For a while, on the sea surface of Fujian and Zhejiang, the sea ships shuttled, and they were really busy for a while, but after all, they were going to Luzon, except for those who were really worried about the liquidation of the imperial court, most of them were still unwilling to drift to sea.

Although Zhu Yihai promised that as long as the officers and soldiers of the sailors who followed him to Luzon, they would be given land and cattle, but some of the two sailors still fled back to land.

Although Wang Yan had an agreement with the two, he still waved his hoe and dug the corners of the wall, encouraging the sailors of the Zheng family and the Zhejiang sailors to serve the country.

However, after all, they were once hostile, and most of these sailors who escaped did not enter the army, but were divided among the merchants of Guangnan, especially the maritime merchants of Zhejiang and Fujian.

The retreat of Zhu Yihai and Zheng Chenggong continued, but there was also an episode.

Wang Yan asked Yu Taichu to send a brocade guard to follow Zhu Yihai's people to an island in the sea east of Zhejiang, where he met Zhu Cihuan, the third prince of Zhu, who had been rumored among the people for a long time, and was ready to ask Zhu Yihai's people to help release him to Nanjing for questioning, but after the ship set off from the island, it never went ashore.

After all, Zhu Cihuan is the prince of Emperor Chongzhen, and he is a banner that can stir up wind and rain, and after his disappearance, the imperial court immediately attracted attention and sent ships to search for it in the sea of eastern Zhejiang.

A few days later, on the beach near Jinshanwei, the boat was found mutilated and floated to the shore, and there were several corpses, which were determined to be the ships that released Zhu Cihuan, and the government immediately asked people to search for Zhu Cihuan along the coast, always to find Zhu Cihuan, and it didn't take long for the government to announce that Zhu Cihuan, the fifth prince of Chongzhen, had died in the shipwreck.

At this point, within the lineage of the Divine Sect, except for a useless King Gui, it came to an end.

After Wang Yan returned to Nanjing, the first thing he did was to transfer Liu Shunqian from Yangzhou to Hefei, and after joining Li Guo, he divided his troops to attack Runan to relieve the pressure on Nanyang, and the Chu troops returned to Chu to prepare to counterattack the Qing army's attack.

In terms of internal affairs, Chen Zizhuang, a scholar, was appointed as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Gu Yinxi was appointed as a scholar, Zhang Huangyan was appointed as the governor of Jiangxi, Xie Kuang was appointed as the political envoy of Zhejiang, You Youlun was appointed as the envoy of Jiangxi, Jiang Riguang continued to be the governor of Fujian, and other personnel were vacant, and the appointment was made after the imperial court reviewed the officials.

In terms of the army, the establishment of the Wuwei Army was reduced to the left and right towns, with a full establishment of 60,000 people, the Zhejiang army was organized into the Zhenwu Army, which was also 60,000 people in the left and right towns, and the establishment of the naval division only retained two divisions, the South China Sea Naval Division and the East China Sea Division, with 30,000 people each.

In this way, with the addition of 550,000 loyalty, 150,000 Shence, and 30,000 rampage, the regular strength of the Ming Dynasty will reach more than 500,000 after it is full.

As soon as the forces of the two kings are eliminated, as long as the internal integration of the Ming Dynasty is completed, more than 500,000 troops, plus some government soldiers, will sweep the world just around the corner.

Wang Yan was also very excited in his heart, but this time Tang Lu was defeated, and many of the soldiers and horses of the two factions were scattered, and some even went up the mountain to be a coward and entered the lake to be a bandit.

During the internal upheaval of the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi also brewed this great change.

In history, Jiang Xiang anyway, happened in 1649, insisted on nearly nine months, and was finally killed by the general Yang Zhenwei, the Qing general Ying Prince Azig entered the city, ordered the slaughter of the city, killed countless people, and "the city of the city is five feet", known as the "slaughter of Datong" in history.

For more than 20 years in the Southern Ming Dynasty, there have been several turnovers, but unfortunately because the Yongli court was incompetent and not well organized, they all failed.

When Jiang Xiang was anyway, almost all the elite of the Qing army returned to the north, except for Duanzhong Prince Boluo, Chengze Prince Shuosai, Doluo Prince Mandahai, Doluo County King Wakda, and Azig participated in the counterinsurgency, Wu Sangui, Li Guohan, and Meng Qiaofang also cooperated in the battle, and even Dolgon personally went to the front.

From these names, it can be known that the Qing army was desperate, and almost all of the elite soldiers were sent to Jiangxi.

However, at that time, Nanming was panicked because Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren, Li Chengdong, and He Tengjiao were killed successively, and after Tan Tai and Heluo returned to the north and Jierharang hurriedly withdrew his troops from Huguang, he did not seize the opportunity and lost a good opportunity.

The anti-Qing forces of the Ming Dynasty were wave after wave, each time they stretched out a finger to poke the enemy, if they could be properly organized, do not engage in infighting, and clench into a fist, they would have knocked down the Manchu Qing with one punch.

Wang Yan and Jiang Xiang were in contact very early, and they had already set up a line before attacking Nanjing.

At that time, Wang Yan wanted to rebel against Jiang Xiang when attacking Nanjing, contain the Qing army, and let him successfully conquer Nanjing, but later, Emperor Gaozong made the first move and disrupted Wang Yan's plan, and Jiang Xiang's chess piece has been useless.

Jiang Xiang and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were full of contradictions, and they should have started an incident a long time ago, but Wang Yan appeased him several times, so that he has been enduring until now.

This time, the Qing army took advantage of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty to launch a southern invasion campaign, and the war in Nanyang has entered a white-hot state.

At this time, in Nanyang and Lianghuai, the Qing army participating in the war had reached more than 200,000, and there were more than 300,000 accompanying Baoyi and forcibly recruited people.

Although it is said that the salary of the Qing army is far from being comparable to that of the Ming army, and the people can just give them food, it is still an astronomical amount for people to eat and chew.

Although the Qing army obtained a large number of cattle and sheep from Moxi, and production in the north gradually recovered in the past two years, it still could not support the war for a long time by relying on normal taxes.

In the residence of the Datong General Army, Ning Wan, the governor of Manchu Shanxi who came from Taiyuan, sat in the lobby, and Jiang Xiang and a group of generals and Datong officials sat below.

Ning Wan I am a very old thief, I am afraid that only Fan Wencheng and others can compare with him, he surrendered to Houjin when he was an old slave, and he has been doing his best for the Manchu Qing for almost thirty years.

"Jiang Junmen, the imperial army is fighting in front, as courtiers, we must be loyal to the imperial court! This time, the regent ordered an additional year of taxation in Shanxi, and the rest of the country was almost completed, and Datong could not be left behind. Ning Wan looked at Jiang Xiang and said quietly: "In addition, there were originally Mongols who entered the Kou, and Datong needed to garrison heavy troops, but now that the regent has subdued the Mongol tribes, there is no need for Datong to station so many troops." ”
