Picking up the folds sent by Zhang Huangyan, Zhu Hongsan flipped through two of them casually, and looked at them as some ordinary government affairs. Now Zhu Hongsan's territory is only Guangdong Province, which is really not a big deal.

Zhu Hongsan said to Zhang Huangyan while flipping: "Xuanzhu, just now when the court meeting was decided, I decided to send troops to Nanzhili and Zhejiang, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Huangyan, as Zhu Hongsan's secretary, saw the information sent by Jinyiwei yesterday, and Li Chengdong of Fujian Province is now attacking the surrounding prefectures and counties anyway. Zhang Huangyan, as one of the few clear-minded officials in the late Ming Dynasty, naturally knew that His Majesty the Emperor was preparing to attack Zhejiang. Because the opportunity is too good now, because in Jiangxi anyway, the Qing army far away in Huguang has already suffered from the enemy, and it is very likely to withdraw to the north of the Yangtze River. In this way, there are about 100,000 Qing troops left around Nanzhili in the entire south of the Yangtze River.

These local garrisons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were different from the elites taken by Tan Tai, most of them were officers and soldiers of the new annex army and the local inspection department, and these people were okay to deal with the peasant rebels in Nanzhili, but they were completely inadequate to the well-trained Guangdong New Army.

Zhang Huangyan heard Zhu Hongsan ask himself, and hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on returning to the old capital!" ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled: "Haha! I didn't expect you to be a sycophant! It's not easy! ”

Zhang Huangyan's old face turned red, he is not a small official who has just entered the industry, and he will still be able to please the leader.

"Your Majesty, Jiangxi will cut off the back road of the Huguang Qing army anyway, and they must retreat to the north of the Yangtze River in order to prevent the enemy from being attacked on their backs, so that Nanzhili will be alone on the south bank of the Yangtze River, plus our powerful sailors, they will definitely be able to return to the old capital!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded, of course he knew this, but he didn't know if Jin Shenghuan could defeat Jiujiang, this was the key.

"Xuanzhu, you have been in Zhoushan for more than a year, do you think that if I give Li Zhi another 10,000 people, can I recover Nanjing?"

After all, Zhang Huangyan has been Li Zhi's staff for more than a year, and he still understands Zhoushan's strength.

"Your Majesty, no problem at all! Lord Li has been waiting for this day for a long time, training the troops every day, coupled with the strong sailors, it is absolutely no problem to recover Nanjing! However, there is still a problem, that is, the number of our army is too small, and if we do not rely on the local rebel army, I am afraid it is not appropriate to control the vast areas of Zhejiang and Nanzhili. ”

"Xuanzhu, your hometown is from Shaoxing, tell me what righteous troops are available to me in eastern Zhejiang and Nanzhili now!"

This is Zhang Huangyan's old business, when he was in Zhoushan, he assisted Li Zhi to give a lot of aid to the Eastern Zhejiang Righteous Army, swords, guns, armor, food, salt, etc., and knew a lot about the Eastern Zhejiang Righteous Army.

"Your Majesty, Qian Sule is in Ningbo, Zhang Mingzhen is in Taizhou, and Huang Zongxi is in Jinhua, these are three relatively large rebel armies, each team has tens of thousands of people, and there are hundreds of others!"

"Okay, you prepare, the meritorious and famous capital officials, Huang Zongxi and Qian Sule are the deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, and Zhang Mingzhen is the prefect of Taizhou!"

Zhang Huangyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, these people were all King Lu's people back then!" ”

Huang Zongxi and these people were the main force that supported Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, in the eastern part of Zhejiang, and after Zhu Yihai ran away, these people did not run, but stayed in their hometown to organize resistance to the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Hongsan didn't expect it to be Zhu Yihai's person, this dead ghost is dead and he is still making trouble for himself, Zhu Hongsan thought about it, or the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty is important.

"Xuanzhu, you write a decree, telling them that the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty is the main thing now, as for the grievances between King Lu and me, it is an internal contradiction of the nation, and if they want to vote for King Gui of Guangxi in the future, I will definitely not stop it!"

Zhang Huangyan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he and Qian Sule had a good relationship, he really couldn't bear to see the contradictions within the anti-Qing righteous army, and now when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this, he was relieved and hurried to write an edict.

"Wait, tell them again, no matter what, the aid is definitely not a lot!"

Zhang Huangyan nodded, and quickly added the emperor's words to the edict. After writing it, he showed it to Zhu Hongsan, and after using the seal, he sent Jinyi Wei to Zhedong to deliver the message to these three people.

Zhu Hongsan is in a good mood today, plus he and Dong Zhen are even more refreshed, now that the work is busy, see that it is not yet noon, Zhu Hongsan said: "The weather is good today, how about Xuan Zhi and I go out for a walk together?" ”

Zhang Huangyan has been in Guangzhou for half a month, and he has not visited Guangzhou except for the road from home to the palace. Today, I was also very happy to hear the emperor say that he was ready to recover Nanjing, and now when I heard Zhu Hongsan say this, Zhang Huangyan smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty is interested, the ministers will naturally accompany you!" ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded, and ordered someone to find Zhu Hongyi, he was really not at ease without this thug to follow Zhu Hongsan.

After the Li Chengdong incident, Zhu Hongsan felt that there were many political forces in Guangzhou, and the inspection department was actually under the management of Nanhai and Panyu counties, which was really very rigid. Therefore, Zhu Hongsan imitated the later Qing Dynasty and set up the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, to be responsible for all the armed forces in Guangzhou except for the Praetorian Guard Division. This position is the Admiral of the Nine Gates in later generations, it is really a low authority, and such an important place Zhu Hongsan can only be handed over to others, but it can only be handed over to Zhu Hongyi, who is the most assured.

After receiving Zhu Hongsan's summons, Zhu Hongyi hurriedly came out of the yamen, and when he arrived at the palace, he saw that Zhu Hongsan and Zhang Huangyan had changed into civilian clothes.

Zhu Hongsan saw Zhu Hongyi coming, and said with a smile: "Big brother, the weather is good today, let's go out and have fun!" ”

Zhu Hongyi nodded, ready to arrange security forces.

"Big brother, you don't need to bring security guards, what can happen in the city, it's only the three of us."

What Zhu Hongsan said was the holy decree, and Zhu Hongyi had no choice but to change his clothes and accompany Zhu Hongsan out with a horizontal knife.

Zhu Hongsan's palace is near the city wall in the north city, Zhu Hongsan and Zhang Huangyan are in a carriage, and Zhu Hongyi is riding a horse out of the corner gate of the palace.

The Jinyi Wei Baihu, who was driving the car, asked, "Your Majesty, where to go?" ”

"I'm out for a stroll today, you said that place in Guangzhou City is fun?"

The hundred households didn't expect the emperor to ask themselves, so he hesitated and replied: "If you want to say that the population is large, of course it is still Nancheng, but Nancheng has many people and mixed eyes, and his subordinates are afraid... ”

Zhu Hongsan also wants to go to Nancheng to see, the Nancheng Development Zone has been built for many years, and he has not been to play yet, so he just went to see it today.

"Okay, let's go to Nancheng, and I'm out to play today, don't call me Your Majesty, just call me the third master!" Zhu Hongsan thought about it, Zhang Huangyan was still in the car, he was an intellectual, so he could call himself the third master, and said to Zhang Huangyan: "Mr. Xuanzhu, you can call me junior!" ”

Although Zhang Huangyan despises Zhu Hongsan's personality, the basic etiquette of monarchs and ministers still has to be observed, and he can be called the emperor's nickname.

"Your Majesty, the minister is younger than Your Majesty, so let's call Your Majesty's brother!"

"Okay, you call me third brother, I'll call you second brother!"

Zhang Huangyan listened to Zhu Hongsan's nonsense, and smiled bitterly in his heart, there was a third brother and two brothers who screamed like this, but he knew that the emperor had not read a book when he was a child, and he didn't say anything.

The car left the palace is the North Gate Street, this place is where the palace is located, there are not many pedestrians, but after a few blocks the pedestrians began to slowly increase.

The city of Guangzhou was built during the Qin Dynasty, and after thousands of years of development, it has been expanded several times, the most recent of which was built by Liao Yongzhong during the Hongwu period. At that time, the population development was already taken into account, and the city wall was doubled on the basis of the Song Dynasty. When Zhu Hongsan first arrived in Guangzhou, there was still a large amount of vacant land in the city, especially here in Beicheng, because it was where the official yamen was located, and there was a large amount of vacant land. However, with the war in the north, a large number of displaced people poured in, coupled with Zhu Hongsan's occupation of Guangzhou for five or six years, the market economy developed greatly, and a large number of people poured into the city of Guangzhou, and Guangzhou is now estimated to have 1.2 million people, with a permanent population of about 800,000, which has surpassed Nanjing and Beijing and has become the largest Chinese city in the entire city. And, of course, one of the most populous cities in the world.

With the increase in population, especially the influx of a large number of wealthy officials from Jiangxi, Huguang, Zhejiang, Nanzhili and other places, the vacant land and wasteland in Guangzhou City were basically occupied. Except for the large amount of open space around the palace for security reasons, the rest of the city is overcrowded. At this time, it was obvious that Zhu Hongsan was clever, and when he first occupied Guangzhou, Zhu Hongsan bought tens of thousands of acres of land outside Xicheng. With the increase in the population of Guangzhou City and the shortage of land, Zhu Hongsan launched the development of the new urban area of Xicheng in a timely manner, which made Zhu Hongsan and a number of new upstarts in Huguang make a lot of money.

It's August, the weather in Guangzhou is hot, the curtains of the carriage are open, and it is easy to see the scene outside the car from the car.

Looking at the various crowds outside, Zhu Hongsan was in a good mood, and at this time, a woman happened to pass by the car. Zhu Hongsan glanced at the woman dressed in flowers and branches, and shouted: "The girls are very coquettish!" ”

Zhang Huangyan listened to Zhu Hongsan's rudeness and frowned. However, the Jinyi Wei Baihu who was driving the car was very happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor was also a temperamental.

"Your Majesty... No, the third master, where is this, the little lady just now is just an ordinary thing, there are a few big yards in Beicheng, but there are the best, I heard that they are all Qing people from Nanzhili! ”

Zhu Hongsan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Okay, I'll take a look later!" ”

The hundred households are on duty today, and they were selected by Zhu Hongyi to drive the emperor just now, and they are still very nervous, after all, the emperor belongs to the kind of big man who is high, and he can reach it as a hundred households. Now I heard the emperor say this, and I found that the emperor is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires.

After the initial nervousness, coupled with the fact that he had a common language with the emperor, the hundred households opened the conversation box and talked to Zhu Hongsan about the Fengyue place in Guangzhou City. What the four beauties of the south city, the three flowers of the east city, the half-closed door of the west city and so on.

Zhu Hongsan was not a righteous man and gentleman, but he was very happy when he heard the hundred households say this, and hurriedly asked, "Okay!" Let's check it out when we have time today! ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he saw Zhang Huangyan's gloomy face, and knew that these stinky old nine well-dressed beasts were actually full of male thieves and female prostitutes on the surface.

Zhu Hongsan also felt a little overjoyed just now, so he quickly sat down in the car and said, "I'll talk about those places later, go to Nancheng first!" ”
