Later, the news of the establishment of the Eight Banners of Meng and the Eight Banners of Khan by Emperor Taiji was transmitted back by Duan Zongkui.

The emperor and the court don't know about such important news, and no one really cares about the situation of the Houjin Tartars, the court attaches importance to two things, the first is the rogue who ravaged the north, and the second is Zheng Xunrui of the South Zhili.

The tentacles of the Zheng Jiajun Investigation Office spread all over the Ming Dynasty, and the Northern Zhili, Southern Zhili, Houjin and Liukou were the focus.

Zheng Xunrui naturally pays attention to the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

There are not many records of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties in history, giving people the feeling that in the previous battles, the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty did not play much of a role, and the main contribution to the Central Plains was the credit of the Eight Banners, but Zheng Xunrui understood that such ideas and assertions were nothing more than to emphasize the bravery of the Eight Banners of the Ming Dynasty and ridicule the incompetence of the Ming Army.

The fierceness of the Eight Banners Army, this is a historical fact that cannot be erased, even if it is known as the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, there is no possibility of defeating the Eight Banners Army, and the full Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners, the best is field operations and large-scale cavalry operations, and the Han Eight Banners pay attention to the combat of foot soldiers and firearms, which effectively makes up for the shortcomings of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, which is like the coordinated operation of the army, navy and air force after hundreds of years, which can exert greater power.

The most bad thing about the Manchurian Eight Banners is the battle of attacking the city, but after the twenty-four banners stood side by side, Houjin won many victories in the battle of attacking the city and pulling out the village, which is recorded in history, but it did not attract high attention, in fact, this is the credit of the Han Eight Banners.

The strength of the combat effectiveness of the armed forces involves many aspects. The bravery of its leading generals is very crucial, just look at the banner owners of the Eight Banners, Daishan, Dolgon, Haoge, Duoduo, Zilharang, Yuetuo, Azig, etc., all of them are brave and good generals, not to mention Huang Taiji, not only brave and good at fighting. And resourceful.

This is probably also an important reason why Houjin was able to rise in history.

From this, it can be known that the generals of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are definitely not bad.

Zheng Xunrui is not very familiar with the banner owner of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, they are all princes and nobles of the Mongolian tribes, but the owner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, Zheng Xunrui still knows it, and before he crossed, he paid attention to the owners of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

Zhenghuang Banner Lord Zu Zerun. Zu Dashou's son, Jin Tatar after the surrender of the Battle of Daling River in Chongzhen in the fourth year, the original deputy general of Jinzhou, Shi Tingzhu, the main white flag banner, the Han people of Liaodong, the original Guangning garrison, the main Jin Li of the red flag banner, and the former Ming Wujinshi. Li Guohan, the owner of the blue flag, was a guerrilla general in Jinzhou.

Zheng Xunrui had to admire Huang Taiji's courage. You must know that Zu Dashou is now the chief military officer of Jinzhou, and he is deeply respected by the imperial court, and Huang Taiji actually appointed his son Zu Zerun as the owner of the Yellow Banner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, which is to send a signal to Zu Dashou on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will also make Zu Dashou panic.

The Manchurian Eight Banners suffered heavy blows three times in a row, and they were all defeated by the Zheng family's army. However, Huang Taiji did not become decadent, but learned a lesson and resolutely established the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, which maximized the military strength of the Later Jin.

From this, Zheng Xunrui concluded that some historical trends will not change. For example, the climate is full of disasters, such as the scene of the Houjin becoming more and more powerful, and the gradual decline of the Ming Dynasty.

This also prompted Zheng Xunrui to make up his mind that he must completely control Nanzhili in the shortest possible time, take Nanzhili as the base, gradually expand to the south, implement new policies in all places in the south, and let history move forward according to the distance and direction he planned.

Nanzhi Street, Zheng Xunrui's mansion.

Hong Mingcheng's expression was a little solemn, and he was reporting the situation.

“…… The issue of business licenses in the prefectures and counties to which Tianfu belongs is relatively smooth, mainly with the support of Lord Yin Lin, but Nanjing is not particularly smooth, and his subordinates can also see that Lord Lin is helpless about many things in Nanjing, and Lord Ma of Shangyuan County is very in danger, and when he discussed with his subordinates several times, he was helpless, and once he even shed tears, and his subordinates felt that if Nanjing could not be rolled out smoothly, it would definitely affect other places in Nanzhili......"

Zheng Xunrui's face is also not good-looking.

After Hong Mingcheng finished speaking, Xu Wanghua followed and spoke.

"There are great difficulties in Nanjing, the subordinates have understood, the main problem comes from the town guard eunuch Fangzhenghua, Donglin Party, Fushe and Yingshe were expelled, some of the scholars and businessmen chose to take refuge in Fangzhenghua, this period of time to visit Fangzhenghua people are particularly many, some of the businessmen who expressed their obedience to the management of Hongmen, there is also a wait-and-see attitude, Nanjing is the center of Nanzhili, everything here affects all parts of Nanzhili, some businessmen think that there is Fangzheng to rely on, and simply ignore Hongmen's notice, They also refused to obtain a licence to operate. ”

Xu Wanghua said while changing, looking at Zheng Jinhong and Hong Mingcheng.

"If Zheng Jiajun wants to take measures, it is also very difficult, this must mean that there will be a conflict between the adults and Fangzhenghua, the adults have just expelled the Donglin Party, Yingshe and Fushe, if there is a huge contradiction between Fangzheng and Fangzheng at this time, will it trigger a backlash from the imperial court, leading to the turmoil of the situation in Nanzhili."

Xu Wanghua's worries are reasonable, Zheng Xunrui doesn't want big fluctuations in Nanzhili, which also indicates that Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong and Hong Mingcheng and others must be especially careful when they act, of course, it is okay to punish businessmen who deliberately look for trouble, when Zheng Xunrui was in Huaibei, the first thing to rectify was the Cao Gang, and through the rectification of the Cao Gang's affairs, he drove other things to do, so that the shock was reduced to a completely controllable level, and Zheng Xunrui was the governor of Caoyun and the governor of the four prefectures of Huaibei. One person is able to decide everything without being distracted by other parties.

But Nanjing is different, here is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the city of scholars and businessmen gathered, and stationed in Nanjing Jingying, the original Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, in Nanjing set up a pattern headed by the military department Shangshu, the town guard eunuch and the garrison lord jointly acting in the affairs of Nanzhili, is to limit everyone's power, want to do it here, you must take into account all aspects of matters.

After everyone finished speaking, there was a little silence in the study for a while.

"I know what you think, the situation in Huaibei is different from Nanjing, and if you want to apply the Huaibei model to deal with Nanjing's affairs, it won't work, the emperor and the court were already wary of me, and now they want to deal with it quickly, and when it comes to such a situation, I don't have so many scruples."

"The north is in a famine, and the rogues are ravaging, in such a situation, the emperor and the court dare not turn their faces, otherwise we will do something to Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe, and the court will already take action, how can we lose such an opportunity."

"As long as we completely control Nanzhili, the emperor and the court will be even more taboo, and they will not dare to do it, so we don't need to have so many worries about our next actions."

"Hongmen's issuance of business licenses is the most important matter at present, we can only ensure the income of taxes by comprehensively collecting business and trade taxes, no matter when, it is easy to do things if there is money, those businessmen take refuge in Fangzhenghua, thinking that they have found a big tree, they think wrong."

"From now on, Hongmen began to forcibly issue business licenses, all the confrontational businessmen, by Hongmen first, no matter what method is used, let them submit, if Hongmen's action encounters the courage of external forces, Zheng Jiajun will begin to move, you remember, if the sergeant of Nanjing Jingying makes a move, then Zheng Jiajun must make all preparations, with the fastest speed and the sharpest means, so that Nanjing Jingying succumbs, so that they dare not continue to move."

"Fang Zhenghua must not have the courage to use the soldiers of the Nanjing Jingying for a few merchants, as for his secret fold to the imperial court, don't care, we don't have such a thing."

Zheng Xunrui's tough attitude surprised Xu Wanghua and others.

"The Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty established the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and the strength under his command is close to 300,000 people, especially the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, which has just been established, and almost all of the Ming troops of the Later Jin Dynasty have been included, with a total number of more than fifteen people, you don't think that the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are also the same as the army of the Imperial Guard, and their combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to the Army of the Guard."

"Seeing that the power of Houjin began to grow, we must have a sense of crisis, if there is no extraordinary means, our development will be greatly restricted, time is very precious for us, the emperor and the court have given us time and opportunity, we boldly do something, bold development, once we really gain a foothold in Nanzhili, the emperor and the court will be helpless."

"But we also have a bottom line, at least in Nanjing, the soldiers of the Zheng family army and the soldiers of the Nanjing Beijing camp should not have a large-scale fight, that would be equivalent to our rebellion, if we have such a move, it will give people the impression of falling into a well, and it will be difficult to get more support."

"The officials should start to consider the adjustment of officials, please Mr. Xu think more about this, after coming up with the adjustment plan, let's discuss it together, and we will report it to the officials and cabinet in the capital after adjustment, even if they don't agree, they don't have to pay attention, not to mention that now their hands can't reach out to Nanzhili."

"The affairs of Huaibei also need to be considered, I think that the governor of Caoyun is under the direct jurisdiction of the six ministries of Nanjing, and its advantages and disadvantages are evaluated by the six ministries of Nanjing, changing the situation that the officials of the capital and the six ministries of Nanjing are jointly governed in the past, and the capital is the mainstay."

"In short, all matters of Nanzhili should be under the direct jurisdiction of the Nanjing Sixth Ministry, and we can also put forward suggestions in the next step, not only Nanzhili, but also Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, etc., can be governed by the Nanjing Sixth Ministry on behalf of the imperial court."
