Time has entered the wax moon, and the calm Nanzhili places, including most places in the south, have entered the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, and no one cares about what happened in the north, after all, this is not something that ordinary people need to consider.

Zheng Xunrui's thoughts were different, he had a premonition that a big change was coming, and he contacted Li Guo to go to Nanzhili twice to buy grain, and paid a total of 150,000 taels of gold and 300,000 stone of grain, and the total amount of grain he purchased even exceeded the total amount of grain since September, indicating that Li Zicheng had begun to make corresponding preparations.

Li Zicheng, who was stationed in Shanxi, could not have been unaware of the great famine that had occurred in Beizhili.

The Zheng family's army has been assembled for some time, waiting for the order to go out at any time.

Comparatively speaking, the Second Army of the Zheng Army stationed in Shandong had the heaviest task, and after they occupied Jinzhou, Fuzhou and other places, during the Battle of Songshan, they took the opportunity to occupy a large area such as Xuancheng, Xiuyan, Phoenix, Tangzhan and Zhenjiang, and almost all the forces of the Later Jin Tartars were withdrawn from Shandong.

These areas occupied by the Second Army have caused a serious threat to the flanks of the Great Qing Kingdom, and Huang Taiji must not be willing to do so, but because of the Battle of Songshan, the Great Qing Kingdom has also spent its vitality, and I am afraid that it does not have the strength to take care of the affairs of southern Liaoning.

It has been more than a year since the end of the Battle of Songshan, during which the Eight Banners Army led by Abatai swept through Beizhili and plundered a lot of money and population.

However, Zheng Xunrui's focus is not in southern Liaoning, his focus is in eastern Liaoning, in the large area of Guanningjin.

Therefore, the main task of the soldiers left behind by the Second Army of the Zheng Family Army is to stabilize the situation in southern Liaoning, and always pose a huge threat to the Houjin Tartars, and the direction of the Zheng Army's real attack. Definitely in Liaodong.

Because Zheng Xunrui's vision is different, he needs to unify the place, not only Liaodong, Liaonan and other places, but also the entire grassland, his view is very clear, the new dynasty that is about to be established. The existence of other armies must not be allowed, only the existence of the Zheng family's army, and the rest, no matter what force or army, must be completely wiped out.

The time when the Zheng family's army marched north, it must be after the beginning of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, what time is it, it depends on the development of the situation in the north, deep down, Zheng Xunrui is unwilling to take the responsibility of directly overthrowing the Ming Dynasty.

The coming conquest. It will be the largest expedition since the establishment of the Zheng Jiajun, and the time cannot be determined, maybe a few months, maybe a few years.

As the expedition is about to begin, Zheng Xunrui has to deal with many things, including the promises he once made.

Kou Baimen of Qinhuai River is still waiting honestly.

As one of the brightest stars in Qinhuaihe, Kou Baimen has faded out for several years and does not participate in any scholars' gatherings. The stability of the situation in Nanjing made Qinhuaihe's business surprisingly good. I don't know how many scholars and businessmen poured into the Qinhuai River, throwing money in exchange for a smile from the beauties, and there were also some quite powerful people, after arriving at the Qinhuai River, they asked Kou Baimen to receive them, but Kou Baimen ignored them at all.

Conflict is not likely. Because the Kou family on Banknote Street has a different color in the eyes of many people, all this is of course because of Zheng Xunrui.

There seems to be no intersection between Kou Baimen and Zheng Xunrui, but Zheng Xunrui's promise to Kou Baimen still spreads. Since Kou Baimen is Zheng Xunrui's woman, no one dares to find death to molest.

Kou Baimen is at ease with this ordinary life, and he practices piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home every day, waiting for news from Zheng Xunrui.

Kou Baimen, who is about to be twenty years old, is looking forward to having a stable family, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, a man who can compare to Zheng Xunrui, I am afraid I can't find it, even if it is the emperor of the capital, I am afraid that he will have to give three points.

However, Kou Baimen, who was waiting, was also apprehensive, what is Zheng Xunrui's identity, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, she Kou Baimen is just a woman in the Qinglou, even if Zheng Xunrui's words don't count, Kou Baimen is helpless, Kou Baimen, who couldn't help it during this period, went to the Nanjing Military Department to inquire in person, and got Zheng Xunrui's affirmative answer.

This reassured Kou Baimen, Yang Aizhen and Xu Fo's family around Zheng Xunrui were all out of Qinhuaihe, which shows that Zheng Xunrui has no unusual eyes for the women in the Qinglou.

Of course, Kou Baimen still has something to be proud of, that is, although she was born in a prostitute family, she is as white as jade.

All this is probably because of the reason why I met Zheng Xunrui.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Wen Manshan, who was Zheng Xunrui's wife, agreed that Zheng Xunrui would marry Kou Baimen.

Zheng Xunrui has a lot of wives around him, Wen Manshan, Dongmei, Lotus Ye, Yang Aizhen, Xu Fojia and Bian Yujing, there are six people, if this is placed in an ordinary family, the family has long been noisy, women compete for power and profit, and they all want to be favored by Zheng Xunrui, but the situation of the Zheng family is different, Wen Manshan, Dongmei and Bian Yujing are busy with the affairs of Hongmen Qianzhuang, and they can't take care of the affairs of the family at all, Xu Fojia and Yang Aizhen are busy with the affairs of the Zheng Jiajun Investigation Bureau, and it is even more rare to see the shadow, and the family is supported by lotus leaves.

Especially as a wife, Wen Manshan's status in the family was originally unshakable, but as the big shopkeeper of Hongmen Qianzhuang, her vision has long been not limited to the family, and sometimes when she talks about the disharmony in the family with Dongmei and Bian Yujing, she still feels very strange, thinking that everyone in the family has their own affairs, and everyone can do their part, where do so many fights come from.

Zheng Xunrui was ready to marry Kou Baimen, Wen Manshan did not object, in fact, what Kou Baimen did for Zheng Xunrui, especially when Zheng Xunrui cleanly cleared the Donglin Party's forces in the south, Kou Baimen made a contribution, but Wen Manshan has a lot of things to do, and he has no time to handle these things.

Although Lotus Ye is a housekeeper, he still doesn't dare to make decisions on the matter of Zheng Xunrui marrying Kou Baimen, this is the right of his wife.

When Zheng Xunrui mentioned the matter of Kou Baimen for the third time in front of Wen Manshan, Wen Manshan made a decision and took time to arrange this matter.

The procedure is not so complicated, and Kou Baimen's home is also in Nanjing.

On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, Wen Manshan personally took people to Kou's house on Chaoku Street.

Zheng Xunrui's wife personally went to Kou's house, causing a lot of sensation, in Nanjing City, and even the entire south, Zheng Xunrui's fame is very big, but Wen Manshan's fame is not small, especially among businessmen, everyone knows that Wen Manshan is the God of Wealth, as long as Wen Manshan's nod and support, the business will definitely be able to grow bigger, and it will be able to make money.

When Wen Manshan went to Kou's house, she didn't say hello in advance, and she had been dealing with money for a long time, Wen Manshan thought that time was money and there was no need to waste it.

Wen Manshan's arrival caught Kou Baimen off guard and didn't know what to do.

Of course Kou Baimen knew what it meant for Wen Manshan to come to the door in person, so that when she saw Wen Manshan saluting, she couldn't hold back her tears.

Wen Manshan went to handle the affairs of Kou Baimen, and Zheng Xunrui had other things to deal with, that is, the affairs of Huang Degong, the former Zhejiang commander-in-chief, and Li Dingguo, the son of Zhang Xianzhong.

After Huang Degong was captured, he was also angry and had a very bad temper at the beginning, and was temporarily imprisoned in the Zheng Jiajun barracks, but after a period of time, Huang Degong saw the plastic surgery of Zheng Jiajun's training, the morale of the sergeants, and the strict military discipline and military regulations of Zheng Jiajun, and slowly found that he had no capital to be proud at all.

Zheng Jinhong, the chief soldier of the Zheng Family Army, served as the secretary of the Nanjing Criminal Department, and his status was by no means ordinary, but after coming to the barracks, he also participated in the daily training, and when he went out early in the morning every morning, Zheng Jinhong's figure appeared on time in the playground, and Liu Zeqing, the deputy chief soldier of the Zheng Family Army, often participated in the training, regardless of wind or rain.

Zheng Jiajun's strict military discipline and military rules made the most profound impression on Huang Degong, saying that what can't be done, no one will do it, if you can't help it, you will be expelled from the barracks after punishment, and if you lose your head.

Zheng Jiajun does not have the matter of deducting military salaries, and its management methods are different, officers at all levels will not interfere and cannot interfere in military salary matters, all of which are the responsibility of the law enforcement battalion, and the military salaries are paid to every sergeant on time, and the military salaries received by the lowest sergeants are enough to feed the family.

In addition, in the process of issuing and using military salaries, the Investigation Department will conduct random inspections at any time.

In less than a month, Huang Degong, who was imprisoned in the barracks, took the initiative to ask to participate in Zheng Jiajun's training, and after Zheng Jinhong agreed to participate in the training, Huang Degong really understood why Zheng Jiajun was strong.

At this point, Huang Degong was determined to join the Zheng family's army, and he was willing to start as a small soldier.

Li Dingguo's situation is more complicated, after learning that Zhang Xianzhong was completely wiped out by the Zheng family's army, Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi were all killed in battle, he was depressed for a while, and he didn't know when, he painfully realized that his only choice was to enter the Zheng family's army, and only by working hard to kill the enemy and show his ability to comfort Zhang Xianzhong and others in the heavens.

The requests of Huang Degong, Li Dingguo and others, Zheng Jinhong reported all to Zheng Xunrui.

Zheng Xunrui didn't think much about it, and made a decision, Huang Degong was appointed as the general of the Zheng family's army, and Li Dingguo was appointed as a guerrilla general, all of which were incorporated into the cavalry battalion.

As a result, Huang Degong jumped into the ranks of high-level officers of Zheng Jiajun, and Li Dingguo also became a middle-level officer of Zheng Jiajun.

Huang Degong and Li Dingguo, who were incorporated into the Zheng Jiajun, began to officially participate in the training of the Zheng Jiajun, and also participated in the assembled team, what made the two extremely excited was that they found that the Zheng Jiajun was preparing on a large scale, from the experience over the years, they knew that the Zheng Jiajun was about to have a big operation, and the only thing they could think of was that the Zheng Jiajun was going north and completely pacified the situation in the north.

Being able to participate in such an important battle is something that any soldier is proud of. (To be continued.) )
