The strategic defense layout of the Qing court, Shaanxi had a rebuilt garrison of Eight Banners to prevent the Shaanxi rebels from swarming up, threatening the income and stability of Shanxi and Henan provinces; Facing the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming armies in the south, one is the Huaibei Green Battalion led by Su Ke Saha, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Huaibei, and the other is the Henan Green Battalion led by the Henan Admiral Line of Henan; But the real core force is still the new army of Beijing and Tianjin Wei, which is the killer weapon of the Qing court.

Now that the news has been received, Chen Wen's two new armies have set off for Jiangbei, and the Northern Expedition is imminent, and the Eight Banners and Green Battalions stationed in Shaanxi are insignificant, but it still depends on the performance of the other three heavy army groups. However, from the very beginning, whether it was to use the green battalions of Huaibei and Henan to consume the sharpness of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or to pull the supply line of the Ming army in Zhejiang on the Yangtze River, it was impossible for the new army to go south to Huainan to fight Chen Wen's army, because only in this way could the role of the new army and the numerical advantage of the cavalry of the Qing court be maximized.

The signs have already appeared, but since the Qing court is reporting the plan of a preemptive strike, it is not in a hurry to mobilize the new army to the south, but after hearing Shunzhi's holy decree, Liu Chengdeng was stunned, and then realized why the Qing court hurriedly asked him to come back to participate in the imperial meeting of this Laoshizi, especially the trace of surprise on Shunzhi's face that he saw when he just rushed back.

What Shunzhi said, Liu Cheng naturally understood what the meaning was. The five divisions of the new army, went south to meet the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shunzhi drove the expedition in person, and set up the imperial camp with full command, which was even what he suggested to Shunzhi before - not only to prevent the army from having no unified command, each department to do its own thing, but more importantly, to prevent these princes from becoming bigger, they are all relatives of the Aixin Jueluo family, far greater than Liu Cheng's threat to the imperial power.

Liu Cheng calculated carefully, and even pinched Shunzhi's life. I thought that when I went south, I could continue to act as the sand of Shunzhi in the new army, used to contain these princes, so as to ensure the control of the right army of Wuwei, but the Qing court never really trusted him, a Han man, even if it was to carry the banner of Manchuria, even if it was to marry the goddaughter of the queen mother, it was useless, and their beware of the Han people was even more important than the belonging of the throne!

After several years of exhaustion, Liu Cheng asked himself that he did not show any threat to Shunzhi, but the war was imminent, but he was relieved of his military power, and ended up with a bright rise and a dark fall, and his eyes were dark, if it wasn't for the fact that Shunzhi had made an exception to give him a seat, he was afraid that he had fainted on the ground.

The moment the world fell into darkness, the idea of thousands of fish dying and breaking the net appeared in Liu Cheng's mind, especially listening to it in his ears, and even feeling in his heart the sneering sneers of the Eight Banners around him, and the idea of cutting all these dog tartars present into meat sauce became more and more tempting.

However, after an instant, Liu grew up, then fell to the ground, and bowed respectfully, which made everyone present stunned.

"Slaves obey!"

Since Shunzhi made the order, he has stared at Liu Cheng's expression change, the gaffe is not nothing, but it is just fleeting, which really makes Shunzhi unable to see the reason. If you talk about ability and the contributions that he has considered and made over the years, Liu Cheng can be said to be the number one in the court, even Shunzhi has always regarded him as a cronie. However, Han people are Han people, although Shunzhi is a little ashamed, but he still can't completely let go of Liu Cheng.

"I rely on the great talent of the forehead. The imperial camp involves the coordination and command of the plan, when the heart is done, return to the house today, rest for two days and then enter the palace to discuss the use of troops with the relatives and nobles. ”

"The slave obeys, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After dispersing, Liu Cheng left the Qianqing Palace as usual, which really shocked everyone. Shunzhi never saw any clues, so he returned to Cining Palace and discussed the matter with Xiaozhuang.

"Not even a little disappointed?"

Xiaozhuang asked, Shunzhi recalled it carefully, and then replied plausibly: "At the moment when the son made the will, it seems that this servant had a little disappointment in his eyes, but in a blink of an eye, his kung fu disappeared. Maybe Erchen was wrong, maybe he couldn't see the follow-up look clearly because he got up to accept the order. ”

Shunzhi can't confirm it, and Xiaozhuang can't make a judgment because of this. In fact, all along, the Manchurian magnates have always been dissatisfied with Liu Cheng's appointment, whether it is the minister of scattered ranks, or the identity of the Three Banners of Manchuria, especially the position of the president of the new army, they are all strongly opposed by them. Shunzhi originally planned to use Liu Cheng to mix sand in the new army, but the public opinion was raging, the core of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the Eight Banners, especially the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the opinions of these people were important, and there were only one or two grievances, who made Liu Cheng a Han.

"It's hard to say whether it's true loyalty or hypocrisy, but in the words of the Han people, the hearts of non-my race will be different, and there is nothing wrong with guarding against the Han people. This time Eniang wants the emperor to do this, but also to take care of the overall situation, what we love Xinjue Luo's family can really rely on will always be only Manmeng, and the Han people can never be trusted, even if they make a mistake for this, they must prevent the Han people from becoming bigger. ”

"Erchen understands."

Nurhachi has been extremely wary of the Han people, although Huang Taiji created the Eight Banners of the Han Army to weaken the Manchurian elites, but also suppressed the Han Army Banner, from a Wuzhen Chaoha to the Eight Banners of the Han Army, on the surface is constantly expanding, but for those Han Army Banners who hold military power, it is constantly suppressed and divided, and it has never stopped.

This kind of defense did not stop until the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the rise of figures like Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and even Yuan Shikai was due to the continuous outbreak of internal and external troubles, and the Qing court had to rely on the Han people to exterminate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, exterminate the Twist Army, and contend with the foreigners, in order to preserve the glory of the Manchurian family and even the Aixin Jueluo family, nothing more.

It was still the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Eight Banners had not yet decayed to the state two hundred years later, and the relatives and nobles still had an enterprising heart, and they were the most wary of the Han people with a small clan, especially the Han people who could not climb on their heads.

Leaving the palace, Liu Cheng rode on a horse and let Goshha lead the war horse back to his house, and the thousand thoughts in his mind made him really unable to calm down.

Over the years, he followed Chen Wen, participated in the Cao Conglong Rebellion, vainly tried to achieve whitewashing through brave battles, and finally discriminated within the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hong Chengchou.

It can be like this because of the word power. For this reason, he betrayed the commander who had sworn allegiance, killed his best friend who was sympathetic to the same disease, and acquiesced in the murder of the concubine by the fake Tartar woman in the family, so that his husband was depressed, and even became a traitor who was hated by everyone, and even these Manchurian masters looked down on him.

He has not shown the slightest remorse for this. Even if he heard that Chen Wen was canonized as a prisoner, he was only one step away from the supreme position, and now he was deprived of military power, but those officers who were the same as him or who were not as good as him in the military rank back then were awarded the title of prince and duke, and they did not regret it. Because he knows very well that he has no way out, since he was lured by Cao Conglong, he has no way out, if he wants to gain power, or even just want to live, he must also go to this single-plank bridge, there is no other way.

"There is still a chance, there will definitely be a chance!"

On the way home, Liu Cheng thought about it, but he never had a clue. He knows very well that now he must find a place where no one disturbs him, and think carefully before he can find the possibility of a turnaround.

All the way back to the house, the singing door of "Edon is back home" is still as familiar as before. It's just that Liu Cheng doesn't have any other thoughts at all now, so he got off the horse and went straight to the study, which was the quietest place he could think of.

"The concubine is finally back, and the concubine has prepared hot water to wash the dust before she can eat."

In the courtyard in front of the second hall, Kong Sizhen came over generously, and the number of etiquette was complete. However, when Liu Cheng heard this, he immediately realized that this fake Tartar woman had already known that he was going to be deprived of military power, and was waiting for him at the moment, even if this woman's appearance was pretty, there was only the word disgusting in Liu Cheng's eyes, especially when he tried his best to perfunctory this fake Tartar woman, and even fed her in bed, like a male pet, which made him feel even more disgusting.

"Gege has dinner first, the emperor has just appointed the husband as the chief of staff of the imperial camp, and now the Zhejiang bandits have moved in Huainan, and the state affairs are as urgent as a spark, and the husband really has no heart to eat, so he can rest assured that he will plan as soon as possible."

With a shake on Kong Sizhen's arm, Liu Cheng squeezed out a smile, nodded, and then walked towards the study. It's just that he passed by by mistake, and all that was left in his eyes was disgust, and the little warmth that he had borrowed from this before was gone.

Back in the study, Liu Cheng opened the map, which he brought out from Jinhua back then, and he never kept it a secret. The map clearly marks the trend of the great rivers and the approximate location of each province, especially the two most detailed places in Zhejiang and Beijing and Tianjin, the rivers and mountains of Zhejiang, and the Sancha estuary of Tianjin Wei, all of which are clearly marked on the map, as if you have seen it yourself.

With this map, he also has a deeper understanding of the situation, but after careful calculation, no matter how you look at it, it feels that the plan he made for the Qing court before is too perfect, and the advantages of the Qing court are brought into full play, and it is difficult to find anything to take advantage of.

All night passed, Liu Cheng always thought about it in the study, but he didn't find any way to make more money out of it. It seems that the only way to better assist the Qing court in defeating the Northern Expeditionary Army, to be a staff member without military power, and to live a life of being watched, especially by the wife and servants of the family, and may be abandoned at any time is the best solution in his life.

In this regard, Liu Cheng is absolutely unwilling. The majestic luxury of the Forbidden City, and the imperial power it represents, made him even more intoxicated and unable to extricate himself. From the moment he first stepped there, he was convinced that it was the greatest desire of his life, and he did not hesitate to give everything, even his life, for this.

In a trance, Liu Cheng fell into a dream, in his dream, Ni Liangxu's sharp questioning, Hu Quancai's warm words and encouragement intersected, and even he saw Chen Wen in his dream, and saw the commander who once trusted him very much, and promoted him to lead an army alone but was betrayed by him, and now Chen Wen is only one step away from the ultimate goal he dreamed of, and he is getting farther and farther away, and even after Chen Wen's figure disappeared, the shouting and scolding of the traitors around him woke him up.

"E, the emperor has an order to enter the palace as soon as possible."

Right now?

The sleepy-eyed Liu Cheng remembered very clearly that Shunzhi wanted him to rest at home for a few days, which was to appease him and distract him, and it was also left for the new president of the Wuwei Right Army to arrive at the small station and camp. But it has not been six hours since he said this, and he was hurriedly called into the palace before he even arrived for half a day, and something big must have happened.

Hurriedly out of the house, Liu Cheng rode his horse to the Forbidden City. After entering the Qianqing Palace, the relatives and nobles were already in place, and they were just waiting for him. It's just that, compared to yesterday, looking at these relatives and dignitaries today, the faces of each one are extremely gloomy, which makes him confirm the possibility of something big happening.

"Eh, I just got the news that the vanguard of the Zhejiang bandits has broken through the Huai River, and I am afraid that Suke Saha will not last long."
