At the end of March, the intelligence that Huang Degong, the general soldier of Zhejiang, was defeated by Zheng Jiajun and captured alive was placed in front of Zheng Xunrui.

There is also information sent by the Investigation Department on the table, that is, Tian Hongyu, the commander of the Zuo Governor and Jinyi Guard, gave Chen Yuanyuan to Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui was summoned by the emperor in the capital, and he was also given a white spear, which was the first time that the emperor gave the following generals weapons.

The two documents arrived on the same day, but Zheng Xunrui was not happy at all, it is said that Huang Degong was defeated, Zheng Jiajun once again achieved a brilliant victory, and this expedition, did not pay much price, Zheng Jiajun's action was very fast, after arriving in Jiaxing Mansion in Zhejiang in three days, he quickly launched an attack, not only to take the combat method of blitzkrieg, but also to take the combat method of beheading, that is, when Huang Degong did not have time to gather all the troops under his command to fight, launched a battle against Huang Degong and the elite troops around him, resulting in the defeat of Huang Degong, who was caught off guard, and was captured alive.

This is an operation commanded by Zheng Jinhong, which is enough to prove that he already has extraordinary command ability, and can grasp all opportunities and make decisive decisions.

In terms of troops, Huang Degong has nearly 130,000 people under his command, and Zheng Jinhong led only 50,000 soldiers of the Zheng family's army.

Zheng Jinhong made a decisive decision, and launched an attack before Huang Degong had time to deploy, and it was directly aimed at the garrison outside Jiaxing Prefecture, here is Huang Degong's most elite sergeant, the total number is more than 20,000 people. In this way, whether in terms of combat capability or the number of people fought, Zheng Jiajun occupied an absolute advantage, and victory was expected.

And the ending of this battle was very good, after Huang Degong was captured alive, all the sergeants under his command chose to surrender. No one resisted, which stabilized the situation in Jiaxing and the situation in Zhejiang.

With such a victory, Zheng Xunrui was actually unhappy, which made Xu Wanghua and others not particularly understandable.

Of course, everyone doesn't know Zheng Xunrui's thoughts, that's because although Zheng Jiajun has changed history, some historical trajectories are still moving forward according to the original development, and this kind of historical development trajectory. For Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun, it is by no means good news, let alone a good thing.

Zheng Xunrui will not say the reason for his displeasure, and he can't say that he can't analyze the distant things that haven't happened yet, wouldn't he become an immortal, will Wu Sangui be angry at the crown, and whether Chen Yuanyuan will be a red face. None of this has happened yet, but the premise is already there.

Information from the Investigation Department. It has been explained that Wu Sangui left Chen Yuanyuan at home in the capital, and told his father Wu Xiang to marry Chen Yuanyuan as a concubine, which undoubtedly made Chen Yuanyuan very pleased, Wu Sangui also set off to Shanhaiguan, and continued to garrison Shanhaiguan to guard the capital of the Ming Dynasty. This trajectory is completely consistent with the development of history.

Zheng Xunrui even made a judgment, that is, after the Houjin Tatars evacuated Beizhili, in the face of the devastation, the emperor and the cabinet did not think of solving the problems of people's livelihood. Instead, I thought of exterminating Li Zicheng and his subordinates, and fantasized about being able to completely pacify the north, you must know that the imperial court does not have much strength at all now, although there are not many records of this paragraph in history, but the situation at this time is not particularly different from the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

I am afraid that some things are inevitable and should happen, but Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun have not yet been able to completely control the south, and the two largest forces in the south, Zheng Zhilong and Mu Tianbo, are still safe and sound, which has to make Zheng Xunrui anxious.

If there is a great change in the north, Zheng Xunrui will definitely lead the Zheng family army to the north to calm the situation and meet the tragic battle, in this case, the south must be stable, and all the forces that exist as a threat must be wiped out cleanly and decisively.

If Zheng Xunrui is given enough time, he can do it, what is fatal now is that there is not enough time, there is still about a year at most, Zheng Xunrui needs to pacify Zheng Zhilong and Mu Tianbo, the two most powerful forces, and maintain stability in the south, this task is very arduous.

Just when Zheng Xunrui fell into contemplation, Xu Wanghua, Yang Tingshu and others were also discussing, they thought that such a complete victory was enough to shock Zheng Zhilong and Mu Tianbo and others, what Zheng Xunrui needed to do at this moment was to write a letter to Zheng Zhilong and Mu Tianbo and others, clearly telling them what they needed to do, if they were not willing to do it, they would either choose to leave the place and go directly to the capital, or they would wait for the strong encirclement and suppression of Zheng Jiajun.

The Shangshu of the Sixth Department of Nanjing, Zhou Yanru, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Gan Xuekuo, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, are still in Huaibei, and the Yushi Wenzhenheng of the Zuodu is also in Huaibei, all of them are supervising the renovation of the Grand Canal, seeing that the summer is coming, the main project of renovating the Grand Canal must be completed before the arrival of the summer flood, and Zheng Jinhong, who is also the secretary of the Criminal Department, is waiting for orders in Jiaxing Mansion in Zhejiang.

Zheng Xunrui's side is left with Xu Wanghua and Yang Tingshu and others.

Therefore, the opinions discussed by the two still have a great impact on Zheng Xunrui.

Nanjing Military Department.

Xu Wanghua and Yang Tingshu both spoke, and their thoughts were clearly stated.

Zheng Xunrui had been pacing in the room all the time, and did not speak immediately.

Xu Wanghua and Yang Tingshu, who had already finished speaking, also kept quiet, they knew that Zheng Xunrui was thinking about what kind of decision to make, but today Zheng Xunrui was silent for a long time, as if he had encountered some problem.

Xu Wanghua and Yang Tingshu think that the situation is very good, Zheng Jiajun from the beginning, just half a month to completely calm the situation in Zhejiang, and did not suffer too many losses, this is already the most regrettable situation, as long as Zheng Zhilong and Mu Tianbo are subdued, the entire south will be calmed down, and many new policies are implemented in various parts of the south, as long as there is Zheng Jiajun as the backing to guarantee, and at the same time from all over the south to select capable officials to go to various places, there is no big problem.

Of course, it takes time to do all these things well, but these things are not things that can be done in a hurry, as the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and some things cannot be rushed.

Finally, Zheng Xunrui, who had been pacing, stopped.

"Lord Xu, Lord Yang, in my opinion, within this year, we must basically stabilize the situation in the south."

Xu Wanghua and Yang Tingshu nodded, but they didn't understand what basic stability meant.

Zheng Xunrui then quickly talked about the meaning of basic stability.

"What I mean by basic stability, that is, the Zheng family army must completely control the entire south, including Jiangxi, Fujian, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Wusi Zangdu Division can be temporarily put behind, only the Zheng family army can exist in these places, and all the rest of the guard army must be disbanded, not to mention other armies, including the army owned by Tusi, must also be completely disbanded, and the only army that can exist in the south is the Zheng family army......"

When Zheng Xunrui was still talking, Xu Wanghua and Yang Tingshu's faces changed, they couldn't imagine that basic stability was such a high requirement, you must know that there are only nine months left this year, not only to pacify Zheng Zhilong and Mu Tianbo, the two most powerful forces, but also to relieve the strength of all the local guard armies in the south, and even to relieve the forces of Tusi in Yunnan and Guizhou, this task is too difficult.

Sichuan Governor Li Yan and the general soldier Su Manzi have been operating for so long before they can completely pacify the power of Sichuan Tusi, which is still on the basis of Ma Xianglin's assistance, and the white pole soldiers have been disbanded, and their elite forces have joined the Zheng army, and now they are facing Yunnan and Guizhou, the two places with the most Tusi.

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Xu Wanghua spoke first.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates feel that it is very difficult to completely pacify the power of Tusi within this year, and it is very difficult to calm the two forces of Zheng Zhilong and Mu Tianbo, and basically control the entire south, even if it is very good, my subordinates still feel that there is no need to be too anxious about time......"

After Xu Wanghua finished speaking, Yang Tingshu also added.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates think that what Lord Xu said is reasonable, in fact, the strength of the Tusi in various places is based on the local area, and it is not easy to let them completely remove their strength, as long as the Zheng Jiajun can subdue Zheng Zhilong and Mu Tianbo, the two most important forces, many things in the back will be much easier to do, the prince can order the government at all levels to implement the new policy in the south, and slowly stabilize the overall situation in the south, and sometimes the soldiers may not be able to play a completely stable role......"

When Yang Tingshu didn't finish speaking, Zheng Xunrui's eyes lit up, and he did fall into a misunderstanding, that is, he believed in the absolute power of the military, and believed that the military could solve everything, but in fact, from the perspective of the stable situation in Nanzhili, Huguang, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Shaanxi and other places, it was the government at all levels that played a key role, as long as the government vigorously promoted policies conducive to social stability, then the local stability would be able.

This also shows that Zheng Xunrui's next focus is on Zheng Zhilong, Mu Tianbo and a small number of scholars and businessmen in the south, as long as these forces can be subdued, the next step can be to adopt correct governance measures, so that the south can be completely stabilized, and the entire south will become a strong backer for the Zheng family's army.

After Yang Tingshu finished speaking, Zheng Xunrui spoke with a smile.

"There must be my teacher in the threesome, what you said is very good, but what I think is too complicated, but within this year, we must completely pacify the two forces of Zheng Zhilong and Mu Tianbo, this deployment cannot be shaken, and the rest of the things can be slowed down for the time being, we still have a lot of time."
