The continuous fleet headed west, the army was marching out, no matter how high the morale of the veterans of the Fu Han Army was, and how low the morale of the recruits was, the things that Chen Ming had to deal with every day finally slipped rapidly at the peak of the waves. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Nanjing City, Chen Ming was busy for a while and looked at the table below, the time was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and even the things for the day after tomorrow had been arranged. He got up and stretched out with satisfaction, and the secretaries of the attendant room around him, as well as Zheng Hongyu, Wei Xiuzhi, Liu Dezhao and others who were recruited, all stopped writing when he stopped.

"Let's all go back and rest, and give you half a day off today." Chen Ming said with a smile.

Several people in the hall were relaxed when they heard it, Wei Xiuzhi became the number one person in the logistics department of the expeditionary force after Zheng Hongyu jumped out of the quartermaster logistics system, and he kept a straight face all day long, as if everyone owed him three dollars, and at this time it was rare to be witty: "It's really stealing half a day's leisure." "I've been busy from years ago to now, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief in the future.

When he followed Chen Hui to eat in the small Lushan County Yaba, he never thought that one day he would be able to hold millions of taels of silver, millions of loads of grain and rice, thousands of ships, and tens of thousands of people to obey his orders. The army turned, and the huge pressure was like a mountain pressing on his shoulders, and now that the army had set off, it could not be said that his next thing would be easy, but at least the mountain of Wanjun had become a huge force.

Liu Dezhao Zhengse said: "Exactly, exactly, I have been with Zhou Gong for many days, and I finally don't have to miss the appointment tonight." ”

Everyone laughed, even Chen Ming laughed, and said: "The governor of Bendu not only has an appointment with the Duke of Zhou, but even the Five Organs Temple has not been properly sacrificed for many days. ”

Zheng Hongyu arched his hand and said: "Most of the governors work hard, and their subordinates are far inferior." ”

Liu Dezhao secretly scolded you in his heart, and said with sincerity on his face: "The prime minister of the metropolitan government has ten thousand opportunities, and his subordinates can't wait for the hard work every day." ”

The remaining secretaries and clerks also followed suit, saying that you have worked too hard for the Metropolitan Governor, and your subordinates can't share their worries for the Metropolitan Governor, so they feel guilty and so on.

Even if he knew that it was sycophancy, Chen Ming was also photographed all over the body, and then thought that from the formulation of the big plan a year ago to the implementation now, it was really not easy for him to live for more than two months, and it was not easy for all the people in the Fu Han Army who knew the inside story to go up and down, and sighed: "It's been really hard for everyone these days." Our army is on an expedition and shouldering heavy responsibilities, and the governor of Pontus has been trembling, doing his best, and not daring to slack off. I am afraid that the lives of the soldiers of the army will be buried, and my plan to restore the Han Dynasty will be ruined. Everyone has worked tirelessly and done their best, and the acting general of Pontus has thanked you. ”

Everyone hurriedly avoided Chen Ming's bow, and were busy filming it again one by one, and finally patted the melancholy in Chen Ming's heart away, and made Chen Ming really happy, Chen Ming smiled and said: "Okay, good, it is a great blessing for the governor of Pontus to have all the princes to help." ”

So, Zheng Hongyu, Liu Dezhao and others were also happy, so they were all happy.

The Western Expedition of the Fu Han Army is real, and the Northern Expedition is false. When this news was sent to Emperor Qianlong by the sticky pole, it was already February 20. Liang Gui, the minister of the guard who raised the sticky pole, reported the news to Qianlong, and everyone collapsed on the ground. With Emperor Qianlong waving his hand angrily, he was dragged up and dragged away by the two imperial guards without saying a word.

After being fooled by an opponent, there will be an irrepressible anger born. Emperor Qianlong is now in the stage of anger, and Fu Heng does not dare to touch Qianlong's mold at this time. And seriously, Lianggui really deserves to be punished. He can have such a big loophole in this kind of military affairs, and the entire Qing Dynasty has been turned around by Chen Wei. What is the face of the court? Looking at Qianlong, who was furious, Fu Heng didn't say a word and lit a piece of wax for Lianggui in his heart.

Together with this news, there was also an urgent report from Hubei, the land and water army of the Fu Han army started in Jiujiang, entered Hubei, and now has conquered the Huangzhou Mansion, and it seems that it is approaching the provincial capital of Wuchang. This really caught Ligon off guard.

And now looking at the news of the 'Western Expedition' of the main force of the Fu Han Army, what else do you not understand when these two phases are combined? Chen Ming didn't plan the Northern Expedition at all, the momentum before that was all fooling Da Qingguo, his real purpose was to go west, to kill back to Huguang and connect Henan.

In the Xinuan Pavilion, the Manchu Qing Dynasty monarchs and ministers also thought of the Henan Fu Han Army going south to attack Hubei in the first month, and the sweep of the Hubei River by the Fu Han Army's naval division before, which greatly restrained the energy of northern Hubei and the state capitals along the river. Look at it now, the land and water army of the Fuhan army in Jiujiang has arrived, and the main force of the Fuhan army in Jiangnan has also followed, which is really one link after another.

"Your Majesty, Chen Wei's army started in the southeast and went up the river, although the pressure on Huguang has increased greatly, the pressure on the land endowed by Jiangnan will be greatly reduced. The imperial court has one gain and one loss with it. Let's take a look at the land of Jiangnan and Huguang, which is more important and which is lighter, the imperial court ......," Fu Heng said at the beginning. Chen Ming's army is heading west, and the pressure on Huguang is absolutely as heavy as Mount Tai, but Jiangnan is also relaxed, isn't it? That had a direct and important impact on Fujian's Heaven and Earth Society. Besides, although the current Jiangnan has been swept away by the Fu Han army, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Fu Heng also feels that the broken Jiangnan is more important and richer than Hubei. Once the imperial court got Jiangnan, it would have a land of wealth, which was definitely a great thing for Qianlong and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who were short of money and red eyes. Besides, if the Fu Han army fights Hubei, it may not necessarily be able to defeat it.

As for Chen Ming's army, what is the use of killing back to Hubei? Fu Heng's understanding is to solve the siege of the old nest in the southwest of Henan. The nest of the Henan Fuhan Army has been besieged by the official army for more than a year, even if the food in it is still enough, what about the salt? What about the cloth? If Chen Wei can occupy the land of Hubei and communicate with southwest Henan, even if their small game of chess is revitalized, it will really become bigger. From now on, they will be a big dragon entrenched in the belly of the entire chessboard, and they are definitely a hard bone to gnaw. But the imperial court can also encircle and suppress this big dragon in all directions. Without the support and containment of the Fu Han Army behind the back, how can the party be arrogant in Fujian? Shandong's mixed Yuan Sect is a grass coward, and the military disaster in Sichuan is only limited to the land of Sichuan and Tibet, as long as the imperial court can gather troops, it still has a great chance of winning.

"Spread the message to Sichuan, and the Altai [Sichuan Governor] summarized all the Tusi in Sichuan, and joined forces to make a total of Jinchuan. As long as the native soldiers do not enter the Han land, let them go. ”

"Sichuan Green Camp is ready to go out of Sichuan at any time."

"Tell Aligon that if you dare to lose Wuchang Mansion, I will ask for his head."

Qianlong calmed down the anger gushing in his chest, thought calmly, and gave orders again and again. Sichuan made a slight mention, and Hubei seems to be in a word, but it is actually the top priority. In that land of Jingchu, which is a thoroughfare of the nine provinces, he can tolerate the Fu Han army to take northern Hubei and Xiangyang, but the area south of the Yangtze River cannot just be ceded to the Fu Han army. Otherwise, the Fu Han army would have rushed to Hunan, and the granaries of the Qing court would have really been lost.

When everyone retreated, Qianlong looked at the map of Qianlong's inner mansion hanging on the wall alone, looked at the Jiangnan, Luxi, Fujian, Taiwan, and Henan that were marked in red on the map, and Henan in the heartland, people suddenly flickered, and the anxious Wu Shulai hurriedly stepped forward to help, and was thrown away by Qianlong with a wave.

He's fine! He hasn't reorganized the mountains and rivers yet, and he can't fall yet.

The map in front of him is full of devastation, and the flowers and rivers left by Emperor Yongzheng have now become unrecognizable. This is the biggest shame in Qianlong's 59 years of life, but it is also a great encouragement to him now, inspiring him to clean up the old mountains and rivers from scratch.

The defeat in the battle of northern Jiangsu did not make Qianlong collapse, and he was now short of silver, but he still squeezed out the silver and threw it into the artillery factory, and a steady stream of cannons and flintlock pistols were still in production. There is also the Beijing Third Artillery Factory, which has received some help from Portugal, and the pass rate of the cannons it produces is getting higher and higher, and the New Army of the Eight Banners has also expanded its strength by 5,000 people for the second time.

After carefully listening to Hailancha's battle account, Emperor Qianlong's expectations for the New Army of the Eight Banners did not diminish, and he increased his confidence in suppressing the Fu Han Army. Because of the performance of the Eight Banners Horse Team in the Battle of Northern Jiangsu, their threat to the Fu Han Army is obvious.

How many people are in the Manchu horse team now? The horse team of Jingqi may have decayed, but the horse team of Mongolia and Northeast China still dare to fight.

If the Fu Han army dared to appear on the Huanghuai Plain, Emperor Qianlong could mobilize no less than 50,000 horses to entertain Chen Ming well.

Moreover, in response to the fortifications of the Henan nest of the Fu Han Army, the Ministry of Engineering also made new discoveries. To be exact, it was not discovered by officials of the Ministry of Works, but by Gao Zhisi and Yang Dewang, who felt that the building materials used by the Fu Han army to build fortifications that could quickly solidify were very similar to hydraulic lime. In Europe, the English discovered this phenomenon more than a decade ago, using limestone containing clay to fire, and masonry mortar for underwater construction, which can be quickly solidified.

At present, the people of the Ministry of Industry are making every effort to experiment, and they have already come up with preliminary results.

In Qianlong's eyes, his big green fruit is getting closer to the gap with the rebellious instrument creation little by little, and the magic weapon of the Fu Han army is being cracked by the big green fruit little by little, and his big green fruit still has dozens of times the land and manpower of the rebellion, and has wealth far beyond the rebellion.

But even Qianlong himself didn't realize that his tolerance for the Fu Han army had evolved from being angry when he heard that a certain place had fallen, to now it has evolved into being able to 'cut' off half of Hubei with a stroke of a pen. Even the ministers of the entire military aircraft department did not react much to the capture of the city by the Fu Han army, like Qianlong, they now only care about whether Ali Gon can hold the provincial capital of Wuchang, not whether he can hold Huangzhou, Hanyang, De'an, Xiangyang and other prefectures north of the Yangtze River in Hubei......

"Aguiti transferred the Huguang military."

"Huh."

Chen Ming, who had led the team to Anqing, did not know the reaction of Qianlong Junchen in Beijing, and did not know that Qianlong's tolerance for his own family was high enough to cut off half of Hubei.

Chen Ming wants to eat Hubei whole, and his goal is not limited to the north of the Yangtze River.

The army assembled in Huangzhou, and before seizing the provincial capital of Wuchang, the army first swept Huangzhou, Hanyang and other places north of the Yangtze River, and also seized a loose enough space for the army's 'extension'. If all the soldiers under Chen Ming arrived in Huangzhou, there would be as many as 70,000 or 80,000, and such a large team could not be completely used to attack the three towns of Wuhan.

"We must strive to take Wuchang and Jingzhou before the arrival of the summer flood, and before the autumn, we must take all the land in Hubei, seize Hanzhong Mansion, connect southwest Henan in the north, Hanzhong in the west, Anqing and Jiujiang in the east, Shaanxi, Henan, Hubei, Anhui, and Jiangxi, and completely connect the territory we occupy." Although there are hundreds of miles of mountains in front of Hubei and Anhui, although there are also stretching mountains between Hanzhong and Henan and Hubei, there is still a way to go out of Xing'an Mansion and into Yunyang, Hubei.

With this foundation, his father can really replace the name of the general. Whether you are a prince or a king, you are absolutely qualified.

Chen Ming now has no intention of squeezing out Chen Hui in his mind at all. His current position cannot be shaken at all, and Chen Hui has not shown the slightest intention of changing the boss Chen Gang back to the court in the past year or so, so Chen Ming is not in a hurry to take the position at all. Even if the Fu Han army has a good capital, it is not a time for infighting. Compared with Li Shimin, he expects him to inherit the throne in a dignified and smooth manner. China's culture and the people's public opinion love the word 'harmony', and fighting, killing, and killing the upper positions affect the people's hearts. Besides, he is not because of any reputation in later generations, but more because he received Chen Huigao's parental kindness, and he didn't want to ruin this friendship.

As for not being able to be the founder of the country, what's the matter? Is Li Shimin's status in Li Tang overshadowed by Li Yuan, the founder of the country?

Besides, Chen Ming still has to fight. If he was the first in command of the Fu Han Army, would he still want to lead the army to the south and the north like this?

When he was in Anqing, Wuchang and Jingzhou were still firmly controlled by the Qing army, Chen Ming wrote a personal letter to Chen Hui, in which in addition to expounding his strategic intentions in more detail, was to propose to Chen Hui to be called the king, and at the beginning of the brief mention of the opening of the imperial examination.

Don't think that there is still plenty of time, it looks like it's March, and when you really get started, time will fly by. If Chen Hui is called the king system, then it is necessary to systematically determine the physique of the officials, as well as the dress of the officials, the auspicious clothes of Chen Hui and Chen Ming's family, and even build another palace, at least Chen Ming's wife and children can no longer live with Chen Huigao's family.

"Report to the governor, Huai'an urgently. The Qing army in Haizhou killed the Yellow River and forced Huai'an and Yancheng to ......"

"The Songjiang Qing army entered Taicang, and its waterway green battalion landed in Haimen and was advancing to the south......south"

"Report to the governor, Yin Jishan and Rong Bao led the army into Suzhou City, and the soldiers pointed directly at Zhenjiang ......"

Chen Ming had one urgent report after another on his desk, since the news that the large army of the Fu Han army began to leave Nanjing was confirmed by the Qing army from all walks of life, those Qing soldiers looked at the large area of land evacuated by the Fu Han army like a hungry wolf with a fat sheep, and rushed to it. I took Huzhou yesterday, and today I will enter Suzhou, and tomorrow the soldiers will arrive in Changzhou......

When Chen Ming was in Jiangnan, how heavy the pressure of the Fu Han army was on them, and now the counterattack of the Qing army from all walks of life is so fierce and swift. Whether it is northern Jiangsu or Jiangnan, the rapid attack of the Qing army is a somewhat thrilling test for the follow-up troops of the Fu Han army in the evacuated state, Huang Jie of the palace has enough men and horses in his hands, but it is more difficult for the palace troops to control their hearts.
