The Manchurian generals heard that the Governor General supported himself, the most data-saving, ad-free site on mobile phones. However, the generals of the newly annexed army such as Yima Degong had different opinions, and they were just about to speak, but Hong Chengchou said first: "This official has made up his mind, don't say it anymore, today is the 18th, and two days later, that is, the 20th, will leave the city!" Let's all go down and get ready! ”

The general of the new annexed army originally had a low status, but now seeing that Hong Chengchou had decided that no one would touch his bad head, they all surrendered their hands to prepare.

After the generals left, Zhou Boda asked: "My lord, why don't you refuse to defend the city, and have to give up the city wall and go out of the city to fight?" ”

Hong Chengchou sighed and said, "Lord Zhou, do you think I don't know the benefits of rejecting the city and defending it?" But the sailors of the puppet Ming Chu King are too powerful, you have heard of the great battle at the mouth of the Yangtze River three years ago, our five hundred ships were sunk by all five ships, and the other party was unscathed. and during the Jiangyin War, it was also shot at close range by the Ming army's naval divisions, and our side lost Kong Wangye and Nikan Belle. Another point I found that the military report from Anqing was wrong, no matter how strong the Ming army was, it couldn't wipe out the 120,000 elites of Prince Yu with 50,000 people, you must know that there are 30,000 taels of white flag elites here! So I suspect that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army on the road is far less than the god of the Anqing defenders, and what kind of cannon erodes hundreds of miles, which is too. There is also news from Hangzhou a few days ago, the army of the King of Chu is more than 50,000 people, and the number is about the same as ours, that is, they are all firearms and not our opponents, so this official decided to avoid his strengths, go deep inland to avoid the artillery of the water division, first destroy the army, catch the king of Chu, and then the water division will be much easier to deal with, after all, no matter how powerful they are, they can't drive the boat ashore! ”

Hong Chengchou's method is the way to deal with Zheng Chenggong in the future, the coastal wall is clear, no matter how powerful your sailor is, you can't go ashore, the army can't beat the Qing army when you go ashore, and finally Zheng Chenggong has no choice but to go to the Dutch for trouble.

Hong Chengchou can see this clearly, and he can be regarded as an elite figure of this era, but he is doomed to failure, because although Zhu Hongsan's navy is very strong, after all, there is no generation difference with the times, except for being ahead of the Western powers in some technical weapons, the overall strength is not much stronger. However, the army is different, Zhu Hongsan's army has formed a full firearms, and its weapons and equipment have reached the equipment level of the French army in the Napoleonic era, not to mention the Manchu Eight Banners, even the local tyrants in Europe have not fully equipped the army with muskets. Coupled with training, equipment, supplies, logistics, etc., Zhu Hongsan's army can be said to have completely surpassed the Qing army by one generation.

Zhu Hongsan led the team to leave Zhejiang Province on October 15 and officially entered Nanzhili, which has now been renamed Jiangsu Province. After entering Jiangsu, Zhu Hongsan was afraid that he would encounter an ambush if he was unfamiliar with the place, so he ordered his troops to slow down their march and march 30 miles a day. In this way, we stopped and stopped, and finally arrived at Lishui County on October 25.

Seeing that Zhu Hongsan, the county seat of Lishui, was confused, it was less than seventy miles away from Nanjing, and it would only take a day to march in a hurry, why hadn't he met the Manchu people yet?

Zhu Hongsan called Wang Xian and asked, "Do you Jinyiwei have any military information?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are spies from our army for thirty miles around, and they don't have any military intelligence reports. There is also news from the Jinyi guards in the surrounding counties, and there is no enemy passing by! ”

Hearing Wang Xian say this, Zhu Hongsan was also confused: "Is the information from Nanjing a few days ago accurate?" ”

"It's very accurate, in order to spread the information, Jin Qianhu in Nanjing sent ten people out of the city in all directions, and six died, so the news that the Qing army left the city on the 20th!"

Zhu Hongsan has no doubts about the ability of Jinyiwei, and the intelligence a few days ago said that Hong Chengchou led the sixty or seventy thousand horses gathered to pour out of the nest and came out of the south gate, not knowing where to go. It's been five days now, where can a large group of 50,000 or 60,000 people go?

At this moment, Li Chengen leaned over and said in a low voice: "Emperor, Dongchang secret report!" ”

Zhu Hong is happy, is there news from the East Factory?

"Lao Li, tell me, have you found the whereabouts of the Qing army?"

"I disappointed the emperor, it's not the news of the Qing army, it's the news of Jiangxi."

Jiangxi? Didn't Jinyiwei pass the news of Jiangxi's victory a few days ago, saying that Ma Kun did a good job, wiped out 120,000 people under Duoduo in one go, and cut off the heads of Duoduo and Tan Tai, is there anything else that happened?

Zhu Hongsan waved his hand and asked Wang Xian to retreat, leaving only Li Chengen by his side.

"Lao Li, say it! What's up? ”

"Emperor, it's the prince's business, there is news from the East Factory that someone is likely to frame the prince! Originally, the first company of the prince was designated by Lord Zhang Jiayu as a guard, but I don't know why it was replaced by the second company, and the third regiment, which was mostly recruits, was sent to the front line to resist the charge of the Manchurian Eight Banners, and at the same time, most of the arms of the three regiments were damp and failed! ”

When Zhu Hongsan heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What about the prince?" How about the Prince? ”

Li Chengen saw Zhu Hongsan getting angry, and quickly knelt down and said: "Emperor Taizu bless, the emperor is blessed with Qitian, the prince is auspicious, and the emperor has forgotten to let me arrange guards next to the prince?" At the critical moment, these guards played a big role, and it was they who saved the prince with their lives! ”

Hearing that his son was fine, Zhu Hongsan put down his heart, patted Li Chengen on the shoulder and said, "Lao Li, you did a good job, I want to reward those people!" The order goes down, the hereditary thousand households who sacrificed their lives for the country, and those who have no descendants inherit the title from among the relatives of the close branches, and the surviving officials are promoted to the third level and rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver! ”

Zhu Hongsan just finished speaking, and then asked: "Lao Li, the news of Jinyiwei arrived a few days ago, why is the news of your East Factory so backward?" ”

Li Chengen is waiting for this opportunity, in fact, the news of Dongchang and Jinyiwei arrived in one day, but Li Chengen has to seize the favorable opportunity to report it, because Dongchang's rights are too small now, and it is completely incomparable with Jinyiwei. Under the management of Qian Lide for many years, Jinyiwei has become a huge intelligence organization with tens of thousands of people. In the early years, Dongchang's popularity was not good, and he was made stinky by the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, and Zhu Hongsan also deliberately suppressed the development of Dongchang after coming to power in order to buy readers.

Today, Li Chengen found such an opportunity easily, but he didn't firmly grasp it. Li Chengen knelt down on his knees and cried: "Emperor, you don't know the suffering of our East Factory, our East Factory is suppressed by Jinyiwei everywhere, this time the matter of the prince of Jiangxi is too important, the old slave does not dare to use the channel of Jinyiwei, the messenger can only travel long distances and personally send the news of the prince to the old slave!" ”

Listening to Li Chengen's cry, Zhu Hongsan also found that the suppression of Dongchang in recent years has been a bit too much.

"Lao Li, get up, I promise you, after occupying Nanjing, I will give you a will, and in the future, Dongchang can set up an arrest center above the mansion to arrest all lawbreakers!"

Li Chengen was relieved to hear the emperor say this, now Dongchang finally has the same rights as Jinyiwei, and he can also buy and sell in the name of the government like Jinyiwei in the future, thinking of this, Li Chengen couldn't help crying loudly!

"Much more ... Thank you, Emperor Longen! ”

Seeing Li Chengen crying like a ghost, Zhu Hongsan thought that he really wanted to do his best. There is a knowledge that Li Chengen is watching Qian Lide use the special channel of Jinyiwei to sell weapons, grain, salt, and sugar in large quantities to the northern provinces to make a lot of money. The guys in the East Factory looked red-eyed, and one after another went to Li Chengen to cry poor, and asked the factory to find a way.

Zhu Hongsan didn't care about Li Chengen crying with joy here, he was furious. There is no need to think about the matter of Prince Zhu Hai at all, it must be the old guy Tong Yangjia who is making trouble behind his back. Zhu Hongsan thought that these stinky old nine were at most black hands and stabbed knives in the back, but he didn't expect the means to be so vicious, even the prince dared to do it, whether it was his own emperor or not, they didn't pay attention to it!

Things are really the same Zhu Hongsan is right, in history, these stinky old nine really didn't put the emperor in their eyes, the three major cases of the Ming Dynasty and the Red Pill case were all aimed at the unlucky emperor Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo, and the Red Pill case made Zhu Changluo's death unclear. Zhu Hongsan thought of this, cold sweat broke out on his back, if he didn't be ruthless to these stinky old men, would he calculate it on my head next time?

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan said to Li Chengen, who was still wiping tears beside him: "Lao Li, don't fucking cry, you find a henchman, lead the good hand of the East Factory, and immediately go to Nanchang, Jiangxi to investigate the whole thing in detail!" You know? ”

"Emperor, Luo Qifeng, who is in charge of the Dongchang Punishment Thousand Households, is good at handling cases, and can be entrusted with important tasks!"

"Good! I'll give you a secret decree in a moment, and whoever obstructs the investigation will be killed! ”

Li Chengen's eyes lit up when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this, this is a good opportunity to eradicate dissidents!

After Li Chengen went down, Zhu Hongsan looked at Tong Yangjia, Qian Qianyi, and Jiang Yueguang, who were standing and chatting not far away. Jiang Yueguang arrived with Jinyiwei's messenger, and now he is talking to Tong Yangjia and Qian Qianyi about the thrilling battle of Nanchang.

Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and asked, "What are the three gentlemen talking about?" ”

The three of them looked back and saw that it was the emperor, and they saluted one after another.

Jiang Yueguang said with a smile: "I didn't say anything, the minister is telling the two adults about the Nanchang war!" ”

"Oh? I've heard that our new army has almost broken through the front, and I've heard that many people have been injured! Does Master Jiang know? ”

Jiang Yueguang's face darkened, and he said heavily: "Yes, I heard Master Zhang Jiayu say that most of the three regiments of the new army were recruits, but they were broken through the defense line by the Manchu iron cavalry, and more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded, but thanks to the good command of Lord Zhang and Master Ma, they finally eliminated Duoduo's 120,000 horses!" ”

When Zhu Hongsan listened to Jiang Yueguang's speech, he watched the faces of the three people in detail, and found that the three of them had not changed, maybe they really didn't know, maybe they were all acting schools. However, Zhu Hongsan knows that you must not just look at the surface, these old fritters in officialdom are not good!
