In mid-October, all the taxes of Nanzhili were collected, and all the Yixue in Suzhou were also set up, and according to Zheng Xunrui's request, Xu Wanghua also began to gradually promote the matter of Yixue in the rest of the Fuzhou counties of Nanzhili.

The commercial transactions of Nanzhili have rarely seen gold and silver, most of them are the tickets and ticket stubs of Hongmen Qianzhuang, and the local government will deposit all the gold and silver collected into Hongmen Qianzhuang, in exchange for the ticket stubs and tickets, and the officials and soldiers of the Zheng family army have all obtained the ticket stubs and ticket amounts of Hongmen Qianzhuang, which saves a lot of trouble.

The whole situation of Nanzhili is developing in an orderly manner in the direction favorable to Zheng Xunrui.

Zheng Xunrui is most concerned about the mentality of scholars and scholars, it should be said that a few months have passed, there have not been too many fluctuations in various parts of Nanzhili, of course, there are still disturbances and gatherings in a small area, in the face of these small-scale commotions, Zheng Xunrui has all adopted the method of suppression, not soft at all, the way of suppression is to severely punish the first evil, confiscate his family property, and the rest of the people who are attached to it will be punished to varying degrees, but there is no murder from beginning to end, at most it is distribution and exile.

Through the expulsion of the Donglin Party in Nanzhili and the implementation of the matter of the integration of the officials and gentry to pay for food, Zheng Xunrui felt a lot about the so-called style of scholars, and it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Huaibei's grain transportation has entered the most critical period, and the transportation task of two million stone grains still has to be completed, although some people suggested reducing the number of grain transportation, but Zheng Xunrui did not agree, Caoyun Governor Gan Xuekuo and the outgoing Nanjing Hubu Shangshu Wang Duo have the same attitude, basically no matter what, the Caoyun Governor's Office is actually responsible for Huang Huixu, who participated in politics and Ma Shiying, who supervised and urged him to participate in politics.

Zheng Xunrui once wanted to let Shi Kefa, the governor of Fengyang, be the governor of Caoyun, but because of the ambush on all sides and the operational deployment of the four corners and six corners proposed by Yang Sichang, the cabinet minister and the secretary of the Ministry of War. Involved in Fengyang Mansion, in order to proceed from the overall situation, there is no adjustment for the time being, and as long as Gan Xuekuo is willing to bear the title of governor of Caoyun, he can not be adjusted in a short period of time.

Zheng Xunrui's concern about the matter of the imperial army's extermination of the Liukou seems to be progressing very well.

An army of more than 100,000 led by Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting. After starting from Wuchang Mansion in early September, it went straight to Xiangyang Mansion City, during which the battle was very smooth, Zhang Xianzhong, who occupied the entire Xiangyang Mansion, contracted step by step, and gave up a lot of cities in Xiangyang Mansion, and concentrated the army in the periphery of Xiangyang Mansion City, which was recovered by Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting one by one.

According to the Commission's projections, it will be up to the end of the year. Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting can complete the siege of Xiangyang Fucheng, and the real decisive battle will come at that time.

In the direction of Henan, the governor Wu Fu and the general soldier He Renlong also made good progress, they occupied the county town of Xinye in Nanyang Province and the city of Xinyang in Runing Province, and Li Zicheng also retreated his forces and concentrated his forces in the main cities of Nanyang and Runing.

Chen Xinjia, Sun Chuanting and others repeatedly reported good news, almost all of them won the battle, and in the process of the battle, tens of thousands of rogues were exterminated and victory after victory was achieved. According to their estimates, it will be March of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen at most. It can basically completely exterminate Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

The emperor and the imperial court also felt rejoicing, and the biggest manifestation was that the original plan was only to levy a year's salary, and they would continue to collect it, only to completely exterminate the rogue.

Even some officials in Nanzhili thought that Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting would be able to achieve a major victory by exterminating the Liukou this time. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have little way out.

However, Zheng Xunrui will not look at these superficial phenomena, the imperial army lies about the military situation and exaggerates the great military achievements, according to Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting's reports, in less than two months, countless small-scale battles have been conducted. The extermination of the Liukou reached more than 10,000 people, that is, about 200 Liukou were killed every day, but carefully analyzing the imperial court's report, the real battle was only carried out when a few cities were taken, and most of the Liukou took the initiative to give up these cities.

If such a battle can wipe out more than 10,000 Liukou, wouldn't it mean that Liukou does not have the slightest combat effectiveness, and the imperial army is so brave that it is impossible to tell it in words.

The information obtained by the Investigation Bureau is basically true, especially some important information, which still needs to be repeatedly verified, and Xu Fojia has done a good job in this regard.

The two aspects of the information provided by the Investigation Department, which had been carefully verified, were of particular concern to Cheng.

From the heart, Zheng Xunrui does not want the imperial army to win, but he does not want the imperial army to suffer a fiasco, you must know that Yang Sichang launched the ten-sided ambush, four positive and six corners of the operational deployment, which consumed the greatest manpower and financial resources of the imperial court, not only mobilized the Songjiang general Liu Liangzuo, but also mobilized He Renlong of Nanjing Jingying, and mobilized more than 100,000 troops from the south, which has never been the case, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, and North Zhili in the north, as well as Huguang, Sichuan, Jiangxi and Fengyang in the central and southern regions, All of them are involved, once this battle to exterminate the Liukou suffers a crushing defeat, then the power of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong will grow sharply, threatening the entire north of the Ming Dynasty, and even the capital.

The situation that Zheng Xunrui is most willing to see is that both the imperial army and the rogues are defeated, and the imperial army has a slight advantage.

To achieve this goal, Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting need to be carefully commanded, not hot-headed, let alone rejoicing.

It's a pity that Chen Xinjia seems to have such a suspicion, Chen Xinjia in history, because of his great achievements, led to the fiasco of the Battle of Songshan, and accelerated the speed of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Jinhong first entered the reception room, and then Xu Wanghua and Li Yan, who returned from Suzhou, followed into the reception room.

Zheng Xunrui was sitting and pondering, with the information provided by the Investigation Department on the table, and Xu Fojia stood next to Zheng Xunrui, looking at Zheng Xunrui with a pair of eyes, and did not speak.

After Zheng Jinhong and the others came in, they didn't speak.

"Mr. Xu, Jin Hong, Li Yan, take a look at the two documents on the table, this is the information determined by the Investigation Department after careful verification."

Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong, Li Yan and others got together and began to carefully read the two documents.

Soon, the faces of the three of them changed greatly.

After reading the documents, Xu Wanghua looked up at Xu Fo's family, as if he couldn't believe that the information was true.

"The 120,000 army led by Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting don't know how to restrain their own behavior, harass the people along the way, and actually has the act of killing good people and risking meritorious deeds, isn't the salary provided by the imperial court enough, don't Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting know what the consequences of doing this will be, I really don't understand, Chen Xinjia is the left squire of the military department, and Sun Chuanting is the governor of the five provinces, they should understand the importance of military discipline, and if they don't restrain the sergeants and military discipline is corrupt, even if they defeat Zhang Xianzhong, bigger problems will be exposed."

When Zheng Xunrui said these words, Xu Wanghua and the others did not speak.

In fact, there are many things to kill good and fake merit, Xu Wanghua and others also wonder why Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting can exterminate more than 10,000 rogues without experiencing many large-scale fights, it turns out that there is a suspicion of killing good and fake merit, what is even more infuriating is that Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting severely punished a lot of people under the situation of occupying the city, thinking that these people colluded and supported the rogues, and the way they adopted was to confiscate family property and kill on the spot, such a practice, Wouldn't it force more people to join the ranks of the rogues?

"Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting's battle plan is basically clear, their focus is on Zhang Xianzhong, while taking Xiangyang Fucheng, exterminate Zhang Xianzhong's main force, Henan's general army He Renlong occupies Xinye and Xinyang, its purpose is to prevent the union between Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, plus there is a deep separation between Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the two will generally not unite unless they reach the point of last resort."

"This battle plan is good, as long as it is well implemented, not to mention the complete extermination of Zhang Xianzhong, but it will definitely be able to severely damage Zhang Xianzhong, as long as Zhang Xianzhong is not to the point of being exterminated, Li Zicheng will not help, and He Renlong has fortified in Xinye and Xinyang, even if Li Zicheng wants to unite with Zhang Xianzhong, it will be difficult."

"Zhang Xianzhong occupied Xiangyang and Yunyang, the army led by Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi under his command was stationed in Yunyang, and the army led by Li Dingguo had been evacuated from Kuizhou in Sichuan and returned to Yunyang.

"Liu Wenxiu, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi did not immediately assemble in the direction of Xiangyang Fucheng, which shows that Zhang Xianzhong also has other arrangements, once Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting start to attack Xiangyang Fucheng, Liu Wenxiu and others cannot make any moves, as for their specific combat deployment, it is still unknown."

"The emperor and the imperial court are very optimistic about this battle to exterminate the Liukou, but I am not optimistic, according to the current trend of development, Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting will not suffer a fiasco, and they can form a confrontation with Zhang Xianzhong, even if it is very good."

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Xu Wanghua, who had been thinking for a while, spoke.

"My lord, Lord Chen and Lord Sun will not suffer a fiasco."

"Maybe not, but they have to figure out the battle plan of Liu Wenxiu, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi and others, and have the corresponding deployment, strictly speaking, the rogue led by these three people has experienced more battles, and the combat effectiveness should be good, if Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting don't pay attention to Liu Wenxiu and others, and blindly attack Xiangyang Fucheng, then the outcome is really hard to say, what I am most worried about is that Zhang Xianzhong is holding Xiangyang Fucheng to the death, dragging Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting, Liu Wenxiu and others led the troops to suddenly reinforce when the battle was the most stalemate and fierce, A counter-encirclement of Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting was formed, so that a situation was formed, and the situation was formed, you think about it, what kind of situation would it be.
