In the past few days, Zhang Qiang practiced riding in the backyard of the Governor's Palace, while continuing to deepen the reform of the official system and improve his official position and character.

Riding progressed very quickly, originally he only knew how to ride a horse, but when it came to fighting on horseback, he only walked on a war horse, and then he could fire two shots, and brandished a saber to fight with regular cavalry, he was afraid that he would be cut down in one round.

As the war progressed, as the Southern Ming Dynasty became weaker and weaker, especially when he pushed the Lu Jian State Department to the front to shake the Qing army, making the Longwu court very weak, and becoming the main force that dragged him to hold the Qing army and confronted the Qing army head-on, wrapped in the front of the Jinhua Righteous Army, and became the protective shell of the Jinhua Righteous Army.

The strength of the Qing army is endless, because there are millions of Ming troops in the country that have been scattered, recovered, reorganized, and then sent to fight against the Longwu court, even if the Han army flag has only a hundred thousand of them have lived in the Qing army between the white mountains and black waters for decades The elite Han army flag has changed from the Han people to the banner people, but the expanded Han army flag has absorbed the elite soldiers and generals of the Ming army who firmly surrendered to the Qing army, and the strength is also more than 500,000, and there is a steady stream of surrendersThere is no way to guess this strength.

Moreover, since the third year of Shunzhi, the Green Battalion, that is, the Ming army that was forced to surrender or the generals who surrendered, as well as the Ming young and strong recruited from all over the country who had to surrender, and the righteous army, there were nearly five or six hundred thousand.

It sounds a little incomprehensible, a little complicated, there is no need to understand, as long as you know that the Qing army is in addition to the hundreds of thousands of main soldiers, plus the Han army flag of the Han people, five or six hundred thousand, and the green battalion is five or six hundred thousand, you know that in fact, the strength of the Qing army Tartars is much higher than that of the Southern Ming.

Moreover, as the main force of the Qing army, they are all cavalry, or mounted infantry, with strong mobility, which can be regarded as a very powerful force, and they can send out one or two thousand at will, so that hundreds of thousands of Ming troops or rebels can lose their armor and flee without a fight.

Zhang Qiang's current Jinhua Righteous Army has only 12 field brigades, 2 guards brigades, and a total strength of only 120,000 elite troops, although the combat effectiveness of the guard troops is certainly the same as that of the Han Army Banner, and there are quite a few of them, more than 60,000 people, and there are 350,000 militia units that have not been dismantled, and there are more than 10,000 village guards that have not been dismantled, but the total strength is only about 200,000 people.

Of course, with the addition of 30,000 sailors, it is quite a lot. Now that the naval division has been reorganized and streamlined, the six fleets, each with a naval fleet of 3,000 men, are mainly used for contact with the enemy at sea, gang fighting, cold weapon fighting, supplemented by musket shooting. The rest are sailors, who operate ships, and can also be used to fight, but Zhang Qiang is reluctant to let sailors fight, to train an elite soldier who can fight on the road, three months is enough, but a sailor can take a year or two to take shape, the requirements are too high.

There are more than 100,000 people in the Longwu Imperial Court, of which 30,000 elites are transferred from the captive soldiers recruited and trained by Zhang Qiang, 20,000 are veterans who have been trained by their previous battles, and the rest are newly recruited, or the officers and soldiers of the green battalion in the captured Qing army have been turned into regular soldiers.

This amount of troops, not to mention fighting, maintaining the security of the territory is a problem, and now they are still attacking the Ganzhou Mansion, as well as fighting against the Qing army that arrived from Jinling or the Beijing Division from the north, it can be said that the entire Longwu court is shaking.

And people are terrified.

The Yongli court was also the main target of the Qing army's attack, because they occupied a large territory and a large number of troops, and many of the rebels were only the Yongli court as horses, and only the southwest and southeast rebels were defected to the Longwu court.

The Yongli Imperial Court had 400,000 troops, occupying most of the territory in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and other southwest and northwest.

Such a seemingly powerful opponent, the Qing army is immortal for a day, and it can't sleep for a day.

Compared with the land of Hangzhou Mansion and the Zhenjiang Mansion that is now occupied, Chongming Island and other places are only the land of three mansions.

Compared with the Longwu Imperial Court, Fujian Province, Jiangxi Province, Guangdong Province, and the Yongli Imperial Court are really huge, although each of them has only a part, or a large part, but they are the mainstream of the anti-Qing Dynasty after all.

The influence still overshadowed the synthesis of the three anti-Qing and Southern Ming forces in the southeast corner.

In fact, Zhang Qiang didn't know, in the face of such a complex situation, the Qing court was also a headache, they occupied most of the Ming Dynasty, almost all of the north, but their million military strength is really not enough, because there are too many rebel armies, there are too many anyway armies, the rebel army and the anyway army add up to almost all the original territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are more than 200, just wiped out this one, and two more came out over there, it can be said that after the Qing army entered the Central Plains, it did nothing in the first ten years, and suppressed or exterminated the anti-Qing rebel army, anyway the army, and the Nanming forces.

In history, it was not until the Kangxi period that the Southern Ming Dynasty was completely destroyed, and most of the rebel armies were exterminated, but anyway, the army came and went, and it was not until the Qianlong period that the world was almost peaceful, but there were other people or forces making waves, and the life of the invaders was not easy.

Thinking that the Qing army was so embarrassed Zhang Qiang was very happy, he knew that even if he crossed over, this history must be different from the original history, but the general original appearance of history is still there, because after all, it is impossible for a person to push the wheel of history to turn, history will still abide by certain laws to move forward, as long as he slows down the pace and takes his time, then he will not let history become unrecognizable, and he will not be at a loss as a traverser, and when he has the strength, even if history has changed greatly, only one outline will be retained, He can also cope with it, because when the time comes, it is not he who can deal with it, but a powerful and advanced bureaucratic system that he has built will deal with it.

That's why he will work hard to promote the official reform of the Jinhua Righteous Army now, he has to let these people follow his thinking and follow the track he planned, then, with the train of the track, he will not become a bus on the road, more vivid, not an off-road vehicle in the wilderness, you can leave the road, climb the mountains and mountains, and come without following the rules.

At the same time that Zhang Qiang was practicing his riding skills, the special operations team of the Ministry of Military Intelligence led by Mi Lin personally also arrived at the territory of Wang Deren, the general of the Longwu Imperial Court in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

However, they may have to work hard to get in touch with Wang Deren, so he is now besieged by the Qing army.

After some reconnaissance, Milin finally knew that with his ancestors, it would be difficult to defeat the Qing army after all.

There were many soldiers and horses in the Qing Dynasty, and Jin Shenghuan, who had opened a situation around Jiujiang and Nanchang in the east and west, north and south, Wang Deren's department and other righteous armies were not in the army, it can be said that the soldiers were strong and the horses were strong, but now, the other places in the capital have fallen, leaving Jiujiang and Nanchang two lonely cities.

However, because the Longwu Ming army transferred most of its troops to Ganzhou and wanted to clean up the Qing army there first, it had all fallen here, and even Li Chengdong's troops had to retreat to the border towns of Fuzhou and Tingzhou.

Mi Lin had no choice but to send someone to send the information back to Jinhua Mansion.
