Liu Jun believes that Kong Youde may indeed want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty anyway, although he made a rebellion in Dengzhou back then, and later defected to the Qing Dynasty, the crime he committed was too great, but after all, Kong Youde held tens of thousands of horses under his hands. And Kong Youde is a person who is rude, righteous and shameless. At that time, his family was killed by the Qing army, and he was the only one who was killed, and the Qing Dynasty can be described as a deep hatred like the sea, but later he rebelled and rebelled, and when he was cornered, he still crossed the sea and ran to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

At present, the situation of the Ming army is very good, and the situation of the Qing army is getting worse and worse.

However, whether Kong Youde really wants to surrender, Liu Jun can't guarantee it, and he doesn't care much. Kong Youde did not pose much threat to him, since the Chu army landed in Lushun, Kong Youde has been holding his troops back, and although it took several months to reach Jinzhou under the repeated urging of Huang Taiji, he has never launched an attack.

Jinzhou is a strongly-fortified fortress, with dense fortresses and forts, Liu Jun is not afraid of Kong Youde, and even hopes that Kong Youde will come with his traitor army to touch it. It's a pity that Kong Youde is very shrewd, and he would rather be annoyed by Huang Taiji than casually touch the little belongings in his hand under the Golden State Fortress.

In this respect, Kong Youde is indeed a smart man, and he did do the thing of sending people to seek peace.

"Lord Qing, do you know, the emperor just issued an order to me to move to Liaodong, and in the future, our eighth and ninth towns will often be in Liaodong. Moreover, the emperor also issued a secret decree to me, so that we can recover the Liao land. ”

Chongzhen's secret order to let Liu Jun return to Liao was to ask Liu Jun to send troops to the north, not only to relocate, but to ask Liu Jun to recover and occupy those cities and lands, and to hold those cities and lands.

"Now?" Fu Shan asked suspiciously, "It's not time yet, is it?" "I've been following Liu Jun for so long. Especially after the attack on Liao, Fu Shan already recognized Liu Jun's plan to attack Liao, thinking that it was already very good at the moment, building two counteroffensive bases in eastern Liaodong, trying to avoid the real and attacking the empty areas of the Qing army. rob them of their money, food, and supplies, and relocate their population.

Now the Chu army has done a very good job, in just half a year, the Chu army has established two base areas of Lushun and Zhenjiang, moved hundreds of thousands of people from the areas controlled by the Qing army, broke through hundreds of their cities and fortresses, and took away tens of millions of silver dollars of money, food and materials, it can be said that the results of the war are quite rich.

They successfully forced the Huangtai army to send tens of thousands of horses to defend them, and also forced Huangtaiji to issue an order to move to the sea. Take the initiative to abandon the area of fifty miles along the coast.

According to the current situation, if the plan of the Chu army continues, at most two years, the land of 100 miles along the coast of Liaodong will become the control area of the imperial court, and the living space of the Qing army will be suppressed step by step.

But now the Qing army has not suffered much loss, and at this time it is forced to go north to recover those cities and garrison them. There will be scattered forces, long supply lines, etc. Now the Chu army is all in Lushun and Zhenjiang. There are fortress forts to defend, troops are concentrated, and there are sailors to support, just like holding two shrinking iron fists, the Qing army dares to come and fight hard, there will be no advantage to take advantage of.

But if the troops are dispersed, the situation will be greatly changed.

October of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen.

Huang Taiji sent Fan Wencheng, a university scholar, as a representative. Led a delegation to Ningyuan to negotiate peace with the Ming army. Hong Chengchou, Gao Qiqian and others reported to Beijing, and Chongzhen sent Fu Zonglong, the secretary of the military department, to negotiate peace. Fu Zonglong refused to accept the order and opposed the peace.

Chongzhen served as the governor of Liaodong with the title of Fu Zonglong's military department, the governor of Liaodong military affairs, and Fan Zhiwan was promoted to the right of the imperial history. Governor Liaodong, eunuch Wang Kun supervised military discipline, eunuch Lu Weining supervised grain and salary, and Qu Shiyun supervised the imperial history of the army.

Chen Xinjia, who was promoted to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of War, went to Ningyuan to take charge of the peace talks.

Liaodong is also divided into two major systems, one is the three towns of Guanning Jin in western Liaoning, the other is the three towns of Beiyang in Lushun Town, Liaodong, Guanning Town is led by the governor Hong Chengchou, and Lushun Zhenjiang is led by Fu Zonglong, and the military generals, each of the two governors has a governor, Liaoxi is supervised by Wu Sangui and three towns, and Liaodong is supervised by Liu Jun.

Since then, Guanwai has been divided into two parts, Liaodong and Liaoxi, the governor, the governor, the admiral and each set up a eunuch director and a eunuch governor, plus each set up three general soldiers, as well as the imperial history of the supervising army, forming two large towns of the imperial court outside the Guan.

"Fan Zhiwan, once served as the official of Yongping, and later inspected the school of the political secretary of Guangbu Lake. He was promoted to the official of Ningguo, and he was the prefect of Zhending and the deputy envoy of Guannai. ”

The person in charge of the intelligence department reported to Liu Junyu the information he had just investigated about the new governor of Liaodong.

"From deputy envoy to governor all of a sudden, this Fan Zhiwan must be quite a small person in the background, is he Wu Fu's person or Zhou Yanru's person?" Liu Jun asked.

"Da Shuai is like a god, this Fan Zhiwan is said to be a descendant of Fan Zhongyan, born in Jinshi. He was able to be promoted from a deputy envoy to governor because his tutor was Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the dynasty, and it was Zhou Yanru who made him the governor of Liaodong. ”

"I'm not surprised at all." Liu Jun smiled, now the two parties of Jiangnan and Jiangbei in the DPRK and China are on the same footing, and they are each surrounding the first and second assistants, and they are inextricably fighting. Both sides began to appoint private individuals on a large scale and plant party henchmen in each other. This can be regarded as a strange scene in the Ming Dynasty, no matter what time it is, it has to be infighting.

In fact, the two parties in Jiangbei and Jiangnan are essentially dominated by the two parties of Donglin and Fushe, but now they are fighting again.

In the final analysis, in fact, Zhou Yanru's prestige is insufficient, and he is not from Donglin, which makes his position a little embarrassing at this time when the Donglin Party is in power, especially Chongzhen also specially used a very prestigious Wu Fu in the Donglin Party as a second assistant, which was destined to have infighting from the beginning.

Chongzhen's original intention may have been to check and balance, but he didn't know that this intensified the internal struggle and party strife.

It's still a great man who said well, there are no factions in the party that are strange. Even if it is the same Donglin, it is inevitable to fight.

Zhou Yanru specially made his protégé Fan Zhiwan the governor of Liaodong, and contacted Zhou Yanru several times before, Liu Jun estimated that Zhou Yanru still wanted to have a good relationship with him and get his support.

Liu Jun didn't care too much about the imperial court sending Fu Zonglong as the governor and Fan Zhiwan as the governor. At present, the military system of the imperial court has been changed, there are no pacesetters in the town, and the generals no longer have families in name. Even Liu Jun, the admiral, nominally has no pacesetters.

Liaodong newly set up three towns, the eighth town, the ninth town and the Beiyang Naval Division, are the establishment of the town division standard battalion, nominally after the arrival of the governor, the governor is the highest commander of the three towns, and then Liu Jun the governor, because Fan Zhiwan is the governor of Liaodong and the commander of military affairs, so he also hangs the rank of commander, but because Liu Jun added the military department Shangshu and the left deputy capital of the imperial history, the two ministry titles are much higher than Fan Zhiwan, so Liu Jun's command should be ranked before the governor, and then the three towns of the general army.

But in fact, the governor does not have a standard battalion, so in terms of actual military control, Liu Jun must still be the main body. After all, this is the soldiers and horses he established single-handedly, and Liu Jun also controls military salaries, etc., and others can't take away the military power if they want to. Since Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he has been seeking to improve the status of military generals.

The reorganization of the new army and the new military system have undoubtedly greatly enhanced the status and command power of military generals. There is no superintendent and town standard, in fact, the power of the officers has increased a lot.

"The imperial court really wants to negotiate peace?"

At the military meeting, many generals asked.

"Of course it can't be, the imperial court never negotiated peace in the worst situation, and now the situation is very good, how can it be possible to negotiate peace." Liu Jun said.

"What about the court?"

"According to what we have learned, the Imperial Court is preparing a major counteroffensive with the intention of retaking Quang Ninh. Negotiating peace with the Qing captives now is just a delaying tactic to paralyze them. ”

Liu Jun smiled, "Actually, the Qing Lu didn't really want to negotiate peace, they were also trying to delay the army." ”

Both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties had the same idea, and the current peace negotiations were just to prepare for the next round of large-scale attacks. Fu Zonglong came to Liaodong, not because he refused to discuss and be demoted, but just to preside over the battle situation in Liaodong.

Both sides are planning to attack, but they are still pretending to be peaceful, which is really funny.

In mid-October, a group of new officials, including Fu Zonglong, the new governor of Liaodong, and Fan Zhiwan, the governor of Liaodong, arrived in Lushun, and Liu Jun led the officers and soldiers of the three towns and the local officials of Lushun and Zhenjiang to greet them at Lushun Port.

On the wharf, hundreds of civil and military attachés put on brand new official robes and lined up to greet them.

Admiral Liu Jun stood at the front of the team, and after Fu Zonglong and Fan Zhi, who were dressed in red official robes, got off the boat, Liu Jun led everyone forward.

"Liaodong civil and military welcome Fu Duchen and Fan Fuchen! Welcome Director Wang and Governor Lu! ”

"The Duke of Chu and all his colleagues in Liaodong, excuse me." Fu Zonglong smiled and walked in the front, while Fan Zhiwan was slightly half a step behind.

Wang Kun and Lu Weining, the two eunuchs, stepped forward with a smile, "Duke Chu, we are here again, the Holy Decree has sent us to partner with Duke Chu, our family is happy." ”

"Zhu is also very happy to be able to cooperate with the two fathers-in-law."

"Princess, a certain has prepared a reception banquet in Lushun City, please."

As soon as Fu Zonglong arrived in Lushun, he immediately asked Liu Jun to convene a meeting of senior officials.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this governor came to the governor of Liaodong military affairs on the order of the emperor, and arrived in Lushun today, and was very happy to see that Lushun's soldiers were strong and strong, and his armor was strong. Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor ordered the three towns of Liaodong to immediately launch an attack on Jianlu, recover Haizhou, march to Liaoyang, and cooperate with Ningjin soldiers and horses to launch a counterattack against Liao. ”

"When does Your Majesty ask for troops?" Liu Jun asked.

"It's now!" Fu Zonglong replied.

This result surprised Liu Jun a little, "Ning Jin's soldiers and horses are ready?" ”

"Well, at this time, Ning Jin's soldiers and horses should have launched a counterattack. We, the three towns of Liaodong, should immediately launch an attack and cooperate with them. Fu Zonglong asked Liu Jun, "Is there a problem with the Admiral?" ”

"No problem." Liu Jun smiled and replied.

The imperial court had already let Ning Jin's soldiers and horses attack, and the battle had begun, so Fu Zonglong only informed him when he arrived, and Liu Jun could still have any problems at this time. Whether he wants it or not, the counteroffensive has begun. (To be continued.) )
