The big tent was full of Zhu Hongsan's words, and all the officials listened to Zhu Hongsan scolding the emperors before the Ming Dynasty without saying a word.

"Are there good people in Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houxi, Zhu Yijun, Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youjian? What has the state made of their scourge? Now let the Manchu Qing Dynasty enter the customs, hundreds of millions of Chinese people are devastated, Lao Tzu heard that Yangzhou City, which has a population of millions of people, was ordered to kill only 400 people by the bastard of Duoduo, isn't this Zhu Youzhen's fault? Everyone used to fight for the emperor, why did no one fight for the emperor at this time? It's not that the emperor can't fish the people, and there is a danger to his life, Yan Wang's gang of bastards began to shirk it, I heard that King Lu actually opened the gate of Hangzhou and surrendered to the Qing army in order not to be the emperor? Lao Tzu will make a holy decree now, all the clans that Hongguang had sealed before will be abolished as commoners, let these bastards eat themselves! ”

When the ministers heard the emperor say this, they couldn't help but slander in their hearts: Why do you want to abolish Hongguang's previous titles, how good is it to abolish the titles of the future ones, and it's not because your title of King Chu was sealed by Hongguang? But this kind of thing is just thought about in your heart, and you will never dare to say it. In fact, there are not a few vassal kings left in the Ming Dynasty now, except for some Fengguo lieutenants and auxiliary generals, the county kings and above have been killed by the Qing army and the peasant army.

In the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the clan died a lot, it couldn't stand the large base, and there were still many low-level clans who ran to Guangdong for help. Zhu Hongsan's own money is not enough to spend, so he can manage these poor relatives, he used to only give a few taels of silver per person, but now he takes the opportunity to get angry and saves these few taels of silver.

Tong Yangjia, who was standing in the chief civil official, heard the emperor say this, and hurriedly stood up and patted his ass, "Your Majesty is so right, Tianqi and Chongzhen are misleading the country, and Wanli Heng is not a good thing, so there are few good emperors in the Yan Wang family, and now it is up to Your Majesty to take the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty and leading the Chinese sons and daughters of the whole world to eliminate the Manchus!" ”

As soon as Tong Yangjia's words came out, there was immediately a discussion in the big tent, you Tong Yangjia is too much of a thing, so you don't want to slap your ass. You Tong Yangjia is not highly educated, how can you say that you are also a talent before, who gave you your fame? Isn't it Emperor Chongzhen? Now crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, scolding the cook when you are full, and beating the monk after reciting the scriptures is too inauthentic.

Other officials didn't dare to speak, but Ma Jiyuan didn't care about this, his status as one of Zhu Hongsan's early four great strategists was still above Tong Yangjia.

"Lord Tong is so shameless, how did you get your fame? Could it be that you cheated on your fame back then? ”

"Master Ma, this official forgot that you were the governor of Emperor Chongzhen, it seems that you still have a lot of feelings for Chongzhen!"

Tong Yangjia's words are yin, but Ma Jiyuan is not afraid of Tong Yangjia's tricks.

"Tong Yangjia, how can this official have his own emperor's judgment, you are not qualified to comment on me as a cabinet deputy!"

Zhu Hongsan saw that these two old guys were about to fight again, so he quickly stood up and said: "Don't quarrel between the two gentlemen, I know what the two gentlemen mean, both of them are my old people, so don't fight!" Today, let's discuss the military situation first! ”

Zhu Hongsan also knew the grievances of these two old guys, and was afraid that these stinky old guys would fight again, so he quickly stopped his tirade and asked Jinyiwei to come out quickly to introduce the military situation.

Wang Xian, who was standing in the last row, represented Qian Lide to participate in the combat meeting today, and he didn't have to stand last according to his official position, but yesterday he was just taken away by the emperor from the flying fish suit given by the emperor, and he was demoted by one level, from the third rank of Tongzhi to the fourth grade, fortunately, he was still a high-ranking official. I can't wear a flying fish suit when I come to the meeting today, I can only wear the official uniform of an ordinary military attaché, so I naturally stand in the back.

Wang Xian heard that the emperor asked him to introduce the military situation in the back, so he quickly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Wang Xian, the minister of Jinyi and the guard, we command the adults to be seriously ill, and the ministers will introduce the military situation of Zhejiang and Nanzhili to the adults!" ”

Some of the senior officials present were well-informed and knew that Qian Lide had been beaten up last night. There are some people who don't know and have questions on their faces, when they got off the boat yesterday, they still looked at Commander Qian so well, why did they get seriously ill overnight?

Seeing Wang Xian stand up, Zhu Hongsan said: "Wang Xian, I invest a lot of money in eastern Zhejiang and Nanzhili every year for your Jinyiwei, you can tell me about the situation in Zhejiang and Nanzhili!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! After receiving the order, Wang Xian coughed and cleared his throat and began to speak.

"Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei Nanzhili, Zhejiang stationed in Qianhu Shenzhu Guogu Bao, starting from August, the entire Zhejiang Nanzhili Qing army began to assemble in Nanjing, according to our ambush in Nanjing's eyeline report, these Qing troops numbered about 30,000 people, under the leadership of Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they went north by boat, and it is estimated that they went to Anqing. There is also news from the north that in early August, Duoduo, the Manchu prince of Yu in Beijing, led 80,000 Manchu and Mongolian troops southward, and it is estimated that they have reached the south bank of the Yangtze River. There is also the latest military report that came to Zhoushan on September 15, and Duoduo gathered 120,000 troops in Anqing, most of which were Manchurian and Mongolian main forces, and broke through Jiujiang Mansion and went to Nanchang. ”

Zhu Hongsan listened to Wang Xian's military report, his fingers lightly tapped on the handle of the chair, but he didn't expect Duoduo to go to Nanchang with all the troops. I brought the main force to prepare to fight them in Nanzhili, didn't the Manchus want the rich Nanzhili?

"Gentlemen, tell me why the Manchus abandoned Nanzhili and insisted on attacking the less important Jiangxi? Isn't this a trade-off? ”

Tong Yangjia smiled, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Nan Zhili is a piece of fat in our eyes, but in the eyes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is a piece of chicken ribs. The Manchus had occupied Nanjing three years earlier in May of the first year of Hongguang, and until now the entire Nanzhili and eastern Zhejiang have not had any effective rule, except for a few prefectures. A large number of gentry were opposed to the Manchu shaving order, so it was naturally impossible to collect grain and taxes in this place. But Jiangxi is different, there is no big battle in Jiangxi at all, and the area around Poyang Lake is the land of fish and rice, and Huguang has more allusions to "Huguang is ripe, the world is full", naturally the Manchu Qing Dynasty should focus on Jiangxi, which is relatively easy to fight! ”

Li Zhijiu, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was in Nanzhili and knew the local situation very well, and when he heard Tong Yangjia say this, he nodded and said: "Lord Tong is really in one sentence, and he said the embarrassment of the Manchu Qing in Nanzhili and eastern Zhejiang. Your Majesty, the minister has a little to add! ”

"Lord Li, please speak!"

"Lord Tong said from the aspect of military food supply, and on the other hand, it also prompted the Manchu Qing to choose Jiangxi as a breakthrough, which is the important position of Jiangxi. Jiangxi is located in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, and several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have land passages, occupying the southwest of the Jiangxi can enter Guangdong, the west can threaten Guangxi, Huguang, and the east is Fujian and Zhejiang. The geographical location of Jiangxi is too important, so if the Manchus want to attack us and King Gui of Guangxi at the same time, they must occupy Jiangxi. ”

It should be said that Zhu Hongsan's subordinates are really full of talents, and these guys are also good at analyzing the enemy situation in addition to fighting with sticks and fighting in the nest. Zhu Hongsan listened to the analysis of Tong Yangjia and Li Zhi and nodded again and again, it seemed that he was thinking too much, he originally took the main five divisions of more than 100,000 people to prepare to go to Nanzhili and Manchu for a big battle, but he didn't expect Duoduo to go to Jiangxi.

Zhu Hongsan pondered for a while and asked: "Everyone, I originally planned to fight a decisive battle with the Manchu Qing in Nanzhili, so I ordered Qian Yong to take two divisions by land, and I personally took three divisions to Zhejiang, but I didn't expect the enemy to run away, how do you say it should be fought?" ”

Tong Yangjia stood up and said: "Your Majesty, all our plans are formulated around how to occupy Hangzhou, and then attack Nanjing by land, although there are not many Qing troops in Zhejiang now, but we can't easily change the marching plan, so the minister thinks it's better to fight according to the original plan!" ”

Ma Jiyuan has always been at odds with Tong Yangjia, you sing the east, I have to sing the west, now I heard that Tong Yangjia was preparing to attack Hangzhou, and quickly stood up and retorted: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since there are not many Qing troops in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and our navy is strong, why not send a fleet directly into the mouth of the Yangtze River and directly attack Nanjing, if Nanjing captures the surrounding prefectures and counties, it will definitely surrender, wouldn't it be better?" ”

Tong Yangjia saw that Ma Jiyuan was against him, and he also retorted: "Master Ma, don't you know that the Manchu Qing Dynasty set up three iron cables on the Yangtze River? How does your navy pass? And this time the army went out to fight more than 100,000 people, but it wasn't that you fought a bandit in Luzon with a few thousand people, and what if the navy made a mistake if the army was sitting on the ship? Can you afford to be responsible? ”

Tong Yangjia's words immediately offended the navy, and he was very dissatisfied with hearing Tong Yangjia belittle his naval admiral Zhang Quan, but he didn't dare to have any opinions on Tong Yangjia, Tong Yangjia was in charge of armaments, and it was enough for you to make a little damage to the construction of naval ships.

Zhang Quan didn't dare to refute Tong Yangjia, but he dared to belittle the army, and the navy and the army were rivals.

"Your Majesty, the last general guarantees that the navy will be able to complete the task, and the army brothers just need to sit on the ship and wait to receive the credit!"

Zhao Guodong, as the head of the army in Zhoushan, was very unhappy to hear Zhang Quan say this, why? Just your navy?

"Zhang Quan, don't fucking brag, your navy is fighting the world?" Zhao Guodong's qualifications in Zhu Hongsan's army system are very old, and he is probably only able to compare with Qian Yong, and Zhang Quan, who was scolded this time, was red-faced and red-eared, and he didn't dare to reply.

Ma Jiyuan has been the governor of Luzon for more than two years, and he has a good relationship with the navy. However, Ma Jiyuan respected his identity and did not say anything to Zhao Guodong, but continued to fire at Tong Yangjia.

"Tong Yangjia, you are from Liaodong, I heard that your Tong family is still a big family in Liaodong, and one of your relatives is still a big official in the Manchu court. What bad idea do you want His Majesty to go overland? Do you want to give a vote to that relative of yours? ”

Tong Yangjia was stunned when he heard Ma Jiyuan say this, but he didn't expect that Mr. Daoist Ma Jiyuan had been a feudal official for a few years and had learned to frame people as a scoundrel.
