"Look, this Kaifeng City is worthy of being the ancient capital of the Central Plains, although Henan has been suffering from military disasters and man-made disasters for so many years, but in such a short period of time, it has become so prosperous again, and it is not much worse than Beijing City, this is all the credit of Lord Liu!" Standing on the top of the high city tower, looking at the grand scene of the flow of people in Kaifeng City, Hong Chengchou said with a sigh.

Hong Chengchou said that Liu Daren, is the governor of Henan Liu Minfang, the Ming Dynasty to Kaifeng City as the provincial capital of Henan Province to sit on the ground, and Liu Minfang is a famous surrender governor, starting from Li Zicheng, the Dashun army just attacked Kaifeng Mansion, Liu Minfang wanted to surrender, if it was not for the Henan general Shi Daqing resolutely disagreed, I am afraid that Kaifeng would have surrendered to the Dashun army, and then Kaifeng although there is Shi Daqing's insistence, but Dashun is huge, under several battles, Kaifeng City was broken, and Shi Daqing also committed suicide and martyrdom, Liu Minfang also surrendered to the Dashun army, and because of this, Li Zicheng was valued and continued to serve as the governor of Henan.

This time, not long ago, after Li Zicheng died in Zaopo, Liu Minfang took advantage of the situation to kill more than 1,000 Shun troops stationed in Kaifeng City, and regained control of Kaifeng City.

After successfully getting Kaifeng City, both Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui were excited, and more importantly, although this Kaifeng City has gone through several wars, because of Liu Minfang, the loss is not too big, which can be regarded as a crooked fight, Liu Minfang inadvertently did a good thing for Kaifeng City!

Liu Minfang, who was standing on the side, heard Hong Chengchou's praise, and his waist, which was already very bent, bent even more, and said with a flattering smile on his face, "Where." Where, the humble position is sparse and shallow, and Kaifeng City has such a grand scene, which is the grace of my Qing court, and how can it be done by the humble position, and the humble position is only into his own duty. ”

I saw that he was wearing a Ming official uniform. But I opened my mouth and closed my court, Wu Sangui on the side suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud, and although Hong Chengchou on the side also felt funny in his heart, after all, he has been an official for many years, knowing this situation, there are too many in the officialdom, so there is no contempt on his face, and he still said with a righteous face, "Lord Liu, don't be like this." This time the Lord was able to set things right, surrender to my Qing Dynasty, and the most important thing is to save the Kaifeng Mansion, which is a great merit, about the excerpt to Lord Liu, the official has already handed it over, I believe that the court and the regent will definitely not treat a meritorious minister like Lord Liu badly, although Lord Liu waits with peace of mind. I'm sure I'll get good news soon. ”

Hearing Hong Chengchou's promise, Liu Minfang couldn't help but bow to the ground. He thanked Hong Chengchou with a sincere face, "Thank you Lord Hong for your cultivation, the lower officials will definitely remember Lord Hong's kindness, and they dare not forget it day and night." "That look is even more respectful than that of his own father.

Of course, for Hong Chengchou, don't talk about this kind of look. Even more pious actions have been seen, so after appeasing Liu Minfang again, he took the opportunity to send him away.

Looking at the back of Liu Minfang leaving, Wu Sangui on the side couldn't help but say, "Uncle." Like this kind of villain, why should you be so polite to him, don't look at him so respectful on the surface, maybe something will happen in the future, he will directly turn his face and deny people, these days I have inquired, the general of the Dashun Army who was originally stationed in this Kaifeng City, he had the same attitude at the time, but not long ago, after knowing that Li Zicheng was dead, he immediately turned his face and did not recognize people, directly at a banquet, the general was hacked to death on the spot, and afterwards his body was thrown on the mass grave, and now maybe there are no bones. ”

Hearing Wu Sangui's complaints, Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "Do you think that your uncle can't see it, when it comes to fighting on the battlefield and capturing the flag, your uncle may not be as good as you, but when it comes to this method of looking at people, the virtuous nephew still needs to learn from his uncle, what you just said is right, Liu Minfang is indeed a villain, but you must know that everyone's mind in this world is different, there will be villains if there are gentlemen, we can't only contact with gentlemen, and not deal with villains, if that's the case, Then you will not be able to survive in the world, let alone become an official.

Although Liu Minfang is a villain, but after all, he was completely dedicated to us through Kaifeng City, and we should treat him well, you know, as the governor of Henan, although he may not have much influence elsewhere, but over the years, he always has some personal relationships If we treat him well, then he will definitely do more things for us in order to get more benefits, so as to establish meritorious service, in this way, he will take the initiative to persuade officials elsewhere for us, so that We will be able to save a lot of time and lose a lot of soldiers. ”

As soon as Hong Chengchou's words were finished, Wu Sangui, who was still a little puzzled, suddenly realized on his face, and said to Hong Chengchou, "Thank you uncle for teaching, it seems that this is a matter of being an official and a man, and my nephew will have to learn from my uncle in the future, then, uncle, I don't know what you think of the current war situation, now open, although we occupy a place that is not as good as dealing with, but we have strong troops, according to the news obtained by the spies, the Ming army in Shaanxi on the opposite side is now less than 50,000 people. In addition to the troops guarding the important places in various places, there must be less than 30,000 people who can fight in a mobile manner, and if we take the initiative to attack now, we may be able to crush the enemy's main force in one fell swoop, and thus completely take the land of Henan. ”

Hearing Wu Sangui's words, Hong Chengchou did not answer him directly, but asked rhetorically with a smile on his face, "Virtuous nephew, how do you think the combat power of our current troops compares with the combat power of the Manchu Eight Banners under Duoduo at the beginning, is it strong or weak." ”

Although Wu Sangui was very conceited, he had not yet reached the point of arrogance, so he honestly shook his head and said, "There is no comparison at all, if it was the original Guanning Iron Cavalry under me, it would barely be able to compare, but now these people, although they are also elite, but if they really want to compare with the Manchu Eight Banners, it will be completely insufficient." ”

"Yes, the soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, if there are more soldiers, they will be able to win, then don't say anything about the thirty-six strategies, Sun Tzu's Art of War, as long as you recruit more soldiers, you know, the victory or defeat of a war is caused by many reasons, and now it seems that the soldiers in our hands are several times that of the other side, but that is only a superficial phenomenon.

Although, since the establishment of the Shaanxi Ming Army, there have not been many big accounts, as far as we know, there is only a battle of Tongguan and a battle in Hanzhong, once it annihilated 20,000 elite Manchu Eight Banner Army, when the Prince Yu who has never lost a battle also returned, the other time is even more powerful, with tens of thousands of weak troops, with a general, actually resisted the attack of Zhang Xianzhong's madman more than 100,000 troops, and Zhang Xianzhong suffered huge losses, Zhang Xianzhong I fought with him, that is simply a madman, once the fight is up, Don't die at all, but since this kind of person is also defeated under their hands, you should be able to see from here how powerful the fighting power of the Shaanxi Ming Army is, and this time Shi Lei dared to send only 30,000 people to Henan, it is conceivable that these 30,000 people must be the elite of their army, with the help of those defeated soldiers of the revenge-minded Dashun Army, if we are really in a hurry to fight with the other party, it is unknown who will die at that time! Hong Chengchou explained in detail to Wu Sangui.

"But, if that's the case, have we just been waiting in Kaifeng City, if during this time, when the other party has reinforcements coming, I'm afraid it's not easy for us to find this kind of opportunity." Although he had already agreed with Hong Chengchou's idea in his heart, Wu Sangui still asked a little unwillingly.

"Hahaha, ha, don't be anxious, the old man believes that the other party is more anxious than us now, you know, why we must take the land of Henan, it is not that we really need here, but to curb the development of the Hongguang Imperial Court in Shaanxi, you know, the land of Shaanxi, after so many years of natural and man-made disasters, not to say that it is innocent, but it is very poor, although Shi Lei's kid is talented, using that barren land to kill a path, but after all, he is already in a weak position in the congenitalIf he doesn't find a way to occupy enough space and get supplements, he won't be able to hold on to himself without us beating him in the future.

Originally, the best object for him to send troops was Sichuan, since ancient times, Sichuan is also the best place to base his troops, but now where is Zhang Xianzhong, the evil wolf, is not something that Shaanxi can provoke, so he can only choose the land of Henan, and if we let him not achieve this goal, then no matter how Shaanxi's troops are in the elite, after a period of time, there is only a dead end. Therefore, they now have only one way to go, that is, to defeat us and occupy the land of Henan, so that they can get the only way to live, therefore, sooner or later there will be a big war between us, just to see who can't help it first, you know, the first person to strike, not necessarily able to win, the last strike is the king. Hong Chengchou said while looking into the distance.

After listening to Hong Chengchou's words, Wu Sangui, who finally calmed down in his heart, didn't ask questions, but just like Hong Chengchou, he crossed the countless crowds below, and looked into the distance with his eyes, as if he wanted to see something clearly.
