A steady stream of reports on the situation in Fujian arrived in Nanjing.

Zhou Yanru, Xu Wanghua, Yang Tingshu, Wen Zhenheng, Gan Xuekuo, Lin Zonghui, Xiong Wencan, Chen Yutai and others all saw all the documents in time, and everyone was very happy, and they couldn't imagine that the Zheng Jiajun led by Zheng Jinhong and Liu Zeqing could stabilize the situation in Fujian in such a short period of time, and let the governor Tongzhi and Fujian General Zheng Zhilong surrender obediently.

Stabilizing Fujian means stabilizing Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places, and stabilizing many sea areas, which is very crucial for Zheng Jiajun's complete control of the south.

It can be expected that it will not take long for Zheng Jiajun to be able to completely control the south, and it is expected that this goal will be completed within a year, and this efficiency is extremely amazing.

The war reports from the north also came in a steady stream, and the army led by Yang Sichang did not immediately launch an attack on Li Zicheng, but temporarily stationed in Zhending and Lingshou at the junction of North Zhili and Shanxi, and Li Zicheng did not immediately attack.

Zhou Yanru predicted that the reason for such a situation was that Li Zicheng was playing a game with the emperor and the imperial court, which was like doing business, one party put forward conditions, and the other side bargained.

Zhou Yanru sighed for the imperial court to be in such a situation, you must know that such a situation cannot appear in the south, look at Huang Degong and Zheng Zhilong, they are both very strong tasks in the south, but in the blink of an eye, they were completely taken down by the Zheng family.

Zhou Yanru knew even more that once the Zheng Jiajun completely stabilized the south, it would stick out its fangs and march towards the north. At that time, whether it is the imperial army, Li Zicheng or the Houjin Tartars, they will probably face the fate of annihilation.

The temporary stability of the north is also a good thing for Nanjing, and Zheng Jiajun needs time to completely stabilize the south.

Fujian's problem has been basically solved, but it still needs to be operated cautiously.

Zheng Xunrui's idea is also very clear. The stability of Fujian is of great significance, unlike other places, Fujian and Guangdong and other places are the main bases of maritime trade, and the huge profits of maritime trade will never be underestimated, you must know that Zheng Zhilong obtains more than 20 million taels of silver from maritime trade every year, although Zheng Zhilong does this, there is some meaning of killing chickens and eggs. It is unlikely to last long, but the huge profits of maritime trade are very clear.

More importantly, Zheng Zhilong controlled and monopolized the maritime trade with Japan and Southeast Asia, including Fujian, Guangdong and other places.

Zheng Xunrui has a deep thought in his heart that has not been said for the time being, that is, the acquisition of maritime supremacy. The Zheng Jiajun Navy Division will become extremely strong in the future, and it is an inevitable choice to expand towards the open sea. This expansion was not only to earn huge wealth overseas, but also to spread the civilization of the Han Dynasty to the four seas.

"The candidate for the governor of Fujian, I consider letting Lord Xu concurrently serve as the governor, this time is not very long, as for the Fujian general soldier, Zheng Kaitao, the deputy chief soldier."

Zheng Xunrui's words just fell. The room fell silent in an instant.

Everyone knows that Xu Wanghua is Zheng Xunrui's right-hand man, even Zhou Yanru and Yang Tingshu and others are not comparable, Fujian, which is far away from the capital, actually let Xu Wanghua, the head of Nanjing's household department, concurrently serve as the governor, which means that Xu Wanghua must leave Nanjing for a period of time. Go to Fujian to take charge.

Is Fujian really that important, more important than Nanjing's household department, you must know that Nanjing's household department governs the taxation of the entire south, including the taxation of Shaanxi and Shandong and other places, and manages all the expenses of Zheng Jiajun to control the local area, and the status can be said to be extremely important, Zheng Xunrui asked Xu Wanghua to rush to Fujian to serve as governor at this time, which shows that Fujian's status is too important.

"Lord Xu is also the governor of Fujian, and he also has jurisdiction over the affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi, especially the maritime trade of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong, which is the top priority, and must not be ignored, taking over the maritime trade from Zheng Zhilong, we must seriously operate, Zheng Zhilong's practice of killing chickens and eggs is not advisable, and the maritime trade must last, so that we can obtain huge taxes from it, and the expenses of the government in Guangdong, Fujian and even Guangxi must rely on maritime trade to maintain in a short period of time."

When Zheng Xunrui said this, everyone finally understood some meanings.

"Hongmen Qianzhuang and Hongmen should also be vigorously developed in Fujian and Guangdong, although Fujian and Guangdong are far away from the capital, and the emperor is far away on weekdays, and the officials in the capital are reluctant to go to these places, but in my opinion, Fujian and Guangdong and other places have huge wealth hidden, but they have not yet been discovered."

"Zheng Kaitao served as the governor of Fujian, and controlled Guangdong and Guangxi and other places, and the strength of the Zheng family army stationed in Fujian and other places was planned to be 20,000 people, and the naval division was stationed in Fujian and Guangdong with 5,000 people respectively, so that the strength of the Zheng family army in Fujian and Guangdong and other places reached 30,000 people, and the expenses of these people will also be obtained from maritime trade in the future."

"The income from maritime trade not only needs to maintain the expenses of 30,000 soldiers of the Zheng family, as well as the expenses of the government at all levels in Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, but also a part of it must be handed over to Nanjing."

When Zheng Xunrui said this, everyone really didn't understand, the profits of maritime trade were indeed huge, but the expenses of maintaining the government of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces were not simple, plus the 30,000 Zheng family soldiers stationed here, it can be said that they were the top of the sky, and they actually had to hand over to the household department in Nanjing, which didn't mean that maritime trade was a cornucopia and a golden doll.

Xu Wanghua's face was calm and did not show anything abnormal.

In this way, everyone is also a lot more stable, probably they think that Xu Wanghua has the answer in his heart.

Fujian's affairs are handed over to Xu Wanghua, Zheng Xunrui is completely relieved, he doesn't need to talk about a lot of details, those are things that Xu Wanghua needs to do directly, and some details, Xu Wanghua is even more careful than him.

After talking about Fujian, everyone's attention was focused on Yunnan.

Looking at the entire south, the only force left that can be said to be reasonable is Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo in Yunnan.

Zheng Xunrui wrote a letter to Mu Tianbo, but after such a long time, Mu Tianbo did not move, could it be said that Mu Tianbo did not hit the south wall and did not look back, and did not die until the heart of the Yellow River.

Mu Tianbo is not very old, three years younger than Zheng Xunrui, in the first year of Chongzhen, because his father Mu Qiyuan died violently, Mu Tianbo, who was only ten years old, was canonized as the Duke of Qianguo and served as the general of Zhengnan.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Zheng Xunrui was just a scholar without any fame.

Mu Tianbo is the hereditary title of the Duke of Qianguo, its ancestor Mu Ying is the founder of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Ying was canonized as the king, after his death due to illness, Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply saddened, so he canonized Mu Ying's descendants hereditary prince, guarding Yunnan.

Although the prestige of the Mu family in Yunnan is not ordinary, it is not as good as the generation, Mu Ying's bravery is needless to say, the descendants of future generations cannot surpass Mu Ying, they do not have so many opportunities to charge and fight.

Yunnan is far away in the border, there are many Tusi, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it belongs to the Ming Dynasty is not very stable place, when Mu Ying was stationed here, it took a lot of effort to recover the Tusi, suppress the rebellion, so that Yunnan is basically stable, and the descendants of later generations are also constantly committed to the stability of Yunnan, to the apocalypse, there was chaos in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and it intensified during the Chongzhen period, but Yunnan is particularly stable, there is no large-scale fighting, although the people are poor, but the life is at ease.

Under such circumstances, the combat effectiveness of the army of the Yunnan Weisho and the army of Tusi is not particularly strong.

However, Yunnan also has a special place, that is, the terrain is very complicated, the mountains are dense and dense, once the locals enter the mountains and forests, you basically can't find it, and Yunnan is the border of the Ming Dynasty, the border is long, close to Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam and other places, if the war breaks out, it is easy to cause instability on the border.

The Mu family has been operating in Yunnan for hundreds of years and has a strong foundation, and it is not so easy to uproot it.

Regardless of the feelings of the people, they do not pay special attention to Yunnan, located in the border, close to some poor places, not much oil and water, plus a large number of toasts, to a certain extent, showing a strong folk customs, its importance is far from being comparable with Fujian and other places.

It is precisely for this reason that for a long time, no one specifically mentioned Yunnan and Mu Tianbo.

Zheng Zhilong's problem was solved, and all that was left was Mu Tianbo, and everyone's eyes shifted here.

Zheng Xunrui picked up a piece of paper from the table and spoke slowly.

"The problems in the south are basically Mu Tianbo, you may not pay much attention to Yunnan, but I don't think necessarily, in the future, our trade must be extended to Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and India and other places, maybe from the geographical location, Yunnan and many places can not be compared, but the stability of the border is the most important thing, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty asked Qianning Zhaojing Wang Mu Ying to garrison Yunnan to ensure the stability of the border, there is a reason, Yunnan can not be stable, involving Myanmar and other places, Once the border is chaotic, it will not only affect Yunnan, but also Guangxi and Guangdong. ”

"Next, we are going to start to solve the affairs of Yunnan, I consider that the army is temporarily stationed on the border of Sichuan and Guangxi, while solving the problem of Guizhou, while monitoring Yunnan, solving the problem of Yunnan, or from the perspective of peace talks, try to maintain the stability of Yunnan, but if Mu Tianbo has other ideas, then when the Zheng family army conquers Yunnan, it must be clean and thorough, cut off all forces that may threaten the stability of Yunnan, and do not show mercy to his subordinates."
