In the cabinet advisory hall, after Wang Yan successively questioned You Youlun and Song Yingxing, several officials waiting in the outer hall were also called to the inner hall one by one to inquire about the many affairs they were in charge of.

At this time, the cabinet officials brought a bowl of lotus seed porridge to several cabinet ministers and Wang Yan, and several people ate in the inner hall, filling their stomachs first, and there was an important meeting when they needed to discuss.

Wang Yan held the blue and white porcelain bowl from the Chenghua period of the official kiln in Jingdezhen, ate a few bites with a spoon, and drank it directly, and then scraped the porridge clean with a spoon before putting the bowl aside.

Seeing this, several cabinet ministers also hurriedly finished drinking, Wang Yan waited for the little official to take away the porridge bowl, and then continued: "When the Jiangbei refugees are properly resettled, after Zheng Chenggong enters the dynasty, the Yangzhou campaign must cooperate with North Korea, so that the Manchu Qing Dynasty can not take care of each other, and several cabinet ministers must complete preparations as soon as possible in terms of material allocation and army assembly." ”

Wang Yan said, looking at Chen Bangyan, "How are the soldiers of Zhongzhi Town replenished?" ”

In the attack on Nanjing last year, Zhongzhi Town was ordered to block Duoduo, and more than half of the conversion was converted, and only more than 10,000 of the 30,000 people withdrew to the south bank of the Yangtze River, which can be described as a heavy loss.

"3,000 Tusi soldiers were added from Guangxi, Guizhou, and Hunan, and a total of 10,000 people were selected from the Houyong and Shence Left Army, and they trained for more than half a year, and their combat strength recovered somewhat. The difference between Hou Yong and Shen Ce has also been made up by the government soldiers. ”

Wang Yan implemented the government soldier system, but it was also a specific analysis of the specific situation, for example, the number of government soldiers given in the southwest was obviously more, while the number of government soldiers in Jiangnan was less than half, or even more.

This is because relatively speaking, the economy in the south of the Yangtze River is developed, life is comfortable, people are dyed with the atmosphere of the well, the desire to fight is relatively low, the southwest is different, whether the people are young or Han are brave and ruthless, as long as the imperial court gives some preferential treatment in the policy, not only can you get some little training, you can form a combat strength of the soldiers, and the families of these soldiers benefit, but also help the court to stabilize the southwest.

Wang Yan nodded, and knocked his hand on the seat twice, "It's good that the replenishment is completed, after the ordnance in Guangzhou is original, priority will be given to equipping Zhongzhi Town." ”

"The lower officials know!" Chen Bangyan responded, he hesitated for a while, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, the military department has received a report from Lord He, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, that the western thief Ai Nengqi led more than 30,000 people out of Yunnan to occupy the land on the west bank of Yongning Prefecture and the west bank of the Xipan River in Guizhou, and intended to attack Zhenning Prefecture on the east bank, but was repelled by General Chen Youlong led by the Shence front army, and the western thief retreated to the west bank of Xipanshui, and began to Tuntian in Yongning Prefecture, putting on a posture of not leaving, I am afraid that it will threaten the southwest of my Ming Dynasty!" ”

What was the gentry landlord class most afraid of?

What they are afraid of is the low-level rebellion, if they get up, no matter how hard you have accumulated the family property for several generations, and whether you are a good person or an inferior gentleman, anyway, kill first, divide it, and then say, the wealth of the whole society must be reshuffled, the old magnates are overthrown, the first magnates stand up, and after a few hundred years, there will be another cycle.

Wang Yan, as a representative of the gentry and landlords, is still quite afraid of Sun Kewang, and the Wude and the merchants and gentry of Liangguang and Lianghu have invested a lot of money in Guizhou, and are developing Guizhou's minerals.

Now Wang Yan somewhat understands Dolgon's discomfort, being held to his waist with a knife behind his back, and it is really difficult to sleep.

"When did this happen, and why did you say it now?" Wang Yan heard that the western thief was in Tuntian on the west bank of Xipanshui, so it was obviously not early.

Chen Bangyan's face was embarrassed, Wang Yan knew that there must be something inside when he saw this, and his face couldn't help but sink, "Say, there's nothing to scruple about!" ”

"That's right, the incident happened in April, Governor He judged that the western thieves were just a temptation, plus General Chen had already repelled Ainengqi, and there were many minerals in Guizhou that were being developed, Governor He was worried that he would scare away the business, so he did not report it in time." Chen Bangyan could only tell the truth.

After Wang Yan heard this, his heart was like being scratched by a cat's paws, He Tengjiao's approach may have his reasons, once the imperial court knows, it will inevitably increase troops in Guizhou, causing a tense atmosphere, and the business will definitely run, but he feels that He Tengjiao is doing this, something is inappropriate.

Wang Yan somewhat understood why Chen Bangyan didn't say it earlier, and it is estimated that he also felt that it was a little inappropriate for He Tengjiao to deal with it like this, and he was afraid of He Tengjiao's identity, so he didn't want to mention it in the presence of Gu Yuanjing and others, and wanted to report it alone.

Wang Yan's fingers tapped on the chair a few more times, "Then why report it now?" ”

"In July, General Chen captured the Manchu envoy on the east bank of Xipanshui, and according to the confession, he gave Dolgon's order to contact the Western thieves to deal with us together.

Some time ago, Dolgon intended to contact the Netherlands, which strengthened Wang Yan's determination to attack Taiwan, and now Dolgon actually thought of contacting Sun Kewang, so did he contact Hauge?

Wang Yan immediately became vigilant, he just put a North Korean behind Dolgon's back this year, and Dolgon immediately countered, I don't know if the two of them thought of it together, or just by accident, but anyway, it seems that Wang Yan was happy too early.

He Tengjiao can report immediately after catching the Manchu envoy, indicating that he has not fainted, otherwise Wang Yan is estimated to be miserable by him again.

Suddenly getting this information disrupted Wang Yan's thoughts, although the spies from the north had not been sent recently, but he couldn't help but be vigilant.

"How are the roads in Guizhou being repaired?" Wang Yan suddenly asked.

Chen Bangyan didn't know this problem, Wang Fuzhi said: "The governor of Liangguang came to Zhezi before, and asked the household department for 500,000 taels of silver, plus 20,000 strong refugees to build roads, it is said that Liuzhou Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion in Guangxi have been completed, and Duyun Mansion in the south of Guiyang is also cultivated in Guizhou, and Guiyang should be able to be repaired by the end of the year." ”

"Is Your Highness ready to use troops against the Western Thieves?" Chen Bangyan suddenly asked.

Wang Yan shook his head, "You have to be prepared!" In the unlikely event that the Western Thieves joined forces with the Manchus, it would be a huge trouble for us. Wang Yan paused, and then said in a deep voice: "There is also Haoge, Sichuan must also have an idea!" ”

Chen Bangyan nodded, but then raised his head and said: "Your Highness actually doesn't have to worry too much, the Western Thieves have entered Yunnan for less than two years, although they claim to be 100,000, but presumably the elite is no more than 30,000 at most, and we have 30,000 troops in Guizhou and Liangguang, and the two Shence armies are also the elite of the battle-hardened formation, there is no need to be afraid of him, besides, if the situation is unfavorable, Jiangxi Jin Shenghuan, Sun Shoufa, and Wang Deren can all rush to help." As for the situation in Sichuan, it is indeed necessary to be cautious, Yuan Duzhen only has 30,000 horses, and it is necessary to defend eastern and southern Sichuan, although there is the help of the righteous army and Qin Taifu, the pressure is still too great. ”

Wang Yan was thinking about it, and at this time, Zhang Huangyan, the left attendant of the military department, suddenly hurriedly broke into the consultation hall, attracting everyone's attention.

Chen Bangyan was discussing here, Zhang Huangyan was in charge of the military department, and Wang Yan saw that he was anxious and hurriedly called him in.

Zhang Huangyan entered the inner hall, bowed slightly, and said to Wang Yan: "Your Highness, Jiangbei is in an emergency, Duoduo is about to escape." ”
