Shi Kefa was very helpless, since the army had entered Yangzhou, he couldn't drive it away. In fact, Shi Kefa came this time just for show, since he had already entered, he didn't expect Zhou Yuji to really withdraw from Yangzhou.

Yangzhou's income is very important, especially the income brought by the salt industry is astronomical. Otherwise, he would have already let the more trusted Huang Degong Department settle in. Now, Zhou Yuji does not ask for this, and at the same time, it is important that Zhou Yuji's army does not have to consider military discipline and loyalty.

In the final analysis, this is a matter of interests, and whoever settles in Yangzhou will bring dissatisfaction from several towns, which is easy to cause estrangement, making it difficult for Shi Kefa to do. Zhou Yuji's entry has undoubtedly solved this problem, as for those dissatisfactions, it is no longer conceivable, who dares to fight with Zhou Yuji? What's more, Zhou Yuji also has an ally Huang Degong on his side.

The problem of Yangzhou was solved, and Shi Kefa began to run between several towns again.

The current situation is that Li Zicheng's Dashun army was defeated and retreated westward, and the gentry in Jinan, Shandong, Henan and other places began to rebel against the Dashun army, and various places fell into endless chaos. As far as the situation is concerned, it is naturally a good move to send troops to the north while the Qing army has not yet moved south, subdue the armed gentry in these places, and expand their own jurisdiction. Shi Kefa also saw this. The problem is that the original four towns have become five towns, and among these five towns, Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing are favored by Emperor Hongguang and Ma Shiying because of their meritorious policies, and they all want to live a peaceful life. Shi Kefa, the overseer, is now going to mediate between the four towns, mediate the conflict, and let them send troops north.

When they left Yangzhou, Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji had promised that they would send troops on time in ten days, and there was no need for him to mediate.

The conditions for sending troops to the north are very favorable, and all the soldiers, horses, money, and food of each subordinate are allowed to be requisitioned by themselves. If a city is restored and a city is captured, it is within its boundaries. This is tantamount to complete decentralization, and it is conceivable what kind of consequences Gao Jie and his ilk will have if they enter these places.

Despite this, no one wants to send troops, the land south of the Yangtze River is too comfortable, who is willing to leave, this requires Shi Kefa to do the work.

All this has basically nothing to do with Zhou Huchen, and his dispatch of troops is not perfunctory, because he has his purpose.

When Zhou Huchen returned to Zhenjiang, news finally came from Nanjing, and Cai Maode was announced to the court.

It took a lot of effort to settle tens of thousands of people in Zhenjiang, and this is not a temporary camp, these people want to take root here for a long time and need housing. And the most important thing is that Zhou Huchen's military workshop must start as soon as possible, and the reserve of ammunition does not seem to be much.

Living here requires land occupation, of course, it cannot be occupied in vain, and the landowner needs to be compensated, and as for the construction of a house, it is a big expense, plus tens of thousands of food subsidies, and the construction of workshops. Zhou Huchen suddenly found that the large amount of silver he had stored had turned into running water.

The day in June was too hot, and Zhou Huchen, who endured the scorching heat, was busy for several days, and finally arranged the work in Zhenjiang.

Back in Yangzhou, a very unexpected and familiar figure appeared in front of Zhou Huchen.

It turned out to be Zhang Guowei, seeing the old man smiling and talking with his father in the living room, Zhou Huchen's brain suddenly remembered all kinds of past, this old man who worked hard for the country had a gray beard, and the wrinkles on his face were deeper.

Looking at Zhou Huchen, who knelt down at the door, Zhang Guowei stood up.

"It's so tall, the old man who fought bravely in Shanxi heard about it, and he was really a tiger general!" Patting Zhou Huchen's thick shoulder, Zhang Guowei had relief in his eyes, but also a kind of indescribable sadness.

Zhou Huchen smiled lightly and didn't say anything, after he went to Zhenjiang, he knew that Zhang Guowei was in Nanjing, and he also understood Zhang Guowei's sadness, which was the loss of Beijing and the worry of Jiannu's entry into the customs.

"Sir, please sit down, let's talk about the war between the imperial court and Jiangbei." Zhou Yuji spoke, there is no need to be too emotionally at this moment, no matter what, it has become a thing of the past, and the situation in the world is the most important.

Zhang Guowei's current title is still the secretary of the Ministry of War, but an assistant Rong Zheng has been added in the front, and the prince Taibao has been added in the back. This is all a fictitious position, there are no specific duties, and it is clear that Zhang Guowei is not reused in the DPRK.

From Zhang Guowei's mouth, he learned that because Zhang Guowei had supervised Zhou Yuji's army, he was ordered to appease him. This is obviously the instruction of Emperor Hongguang, and there is also the shadow of Ma Shiying. Ma Shiying also brought a personal greeting to Zhou Yuji, Ma Shiying has the grace of knowing Huang Degong, and Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong are inextricably intertwined, Ma Shiying probably wants this powerful army to be loyal to him. Zhang Guowei is not necessarily a lobbyist, because he and Ma Shiying are not all the way, and this arrangement may be to make Zhou Yuji feel at ease.

This is a prelude to letting Zhou Yuji stand in line, but unfortunately, in some of Zhang Guowei's views on the court, Zhou Huchen realized that there are already some people in the court who are dividing sects, and Zhang Guowei expressed his worries that this kind of struggle is very unfavorable to the country.

It's useless to stand in line, it's useless to stand on either side, Zhou Huchen knows the truth of history. Shi Kefa can't do it, Ma Shiying can't do it, he can only rely on himself, as for who to get closer to, Zhou Huchen only needs to be left and right, he decided to be close to everyone for the time being, and he will talk about it later.

"This Li Zicheng and Jiannu are fighting, and now they are fleeing west, Shanxi is already very dangerous, it seems that Li Zicheng has signs of a great trend!" After talking about the affairs of the DPRK and China, Zhang Guowei began to talk about the melee in Jiangbei.

"Li Zicheng is undoubtedly defeated, the boss knows the combat power of Jiannu, I am afraid that it will not be too long, and our enemy will become Jiannu. And you also know that our enemies not only have Jiannu, but also those surrendered troops, there is no doubt that we will face countless surrendered troops, and they may become the main force attacking Jiangnan! ”

In Zhou Huchen's words, this cruel reality made Zhang Guoweilai's face a little gray. Zhou Huchen's words are not wrong, Zhang Guowei, as the former secretary of the military department, knows this very well. Those generals and soldiers who defected to Jiannu were terrible, although they were incompetent when they wore the uniforms of the Ming army, but once these people surrendered to Jiannu, they didn't know that these people who betrayed their ancestors fought against their own people, they would become very brave. Brave and numerous, they are incommensurably familiar with the armies and places of their former masters, which will have disastrous consequences.

"But the Shi Pavilion Department, as well as Ma Gefu, intend to join forces with Pingkou, saying that they will avenge the emperor and rule the territory in the future."

After a long time, Zhang Guowei finally squeezed out this sentence, which obviously revealed the general direction of the imperial court.

"Jiannu destroyed Li Zicheng, will they stop at the richest Jiangnan? If you want to be partial to Jiangnan, is it possible? The Great Song Dynasty of the past is an example, the greed of these barbarian peoples has never ended! Is it a day or two for Jiannu to peep at my land of China? Only a pig thinks so! ”

Zhou Huchen is very polite, the words are very difficult to hear, this idea or strategy of the Hongguang courtier is completely wrong, he does not need to be polite, because history is the most haode witness.

The frowns became tighter and tighter, and his face became more and more ugly, Zhang Guowei understood this truth, but he was not in power, what could he do?

Looking at Zhang Guowei, who looked downcast, Zhou Huchen decisively said his decision: "Jiannu is fighting with Li Zicheng endlessly, and the troops in Shandong, Beizhi, and Gyeonggi must be empty, and I will lead my troops up the river." Beijing can't take it, but I want to turn these places upside down, clean up the places, give some color to those who surrender and Jiannu, and let the soldiers use the blood of the enemy to prove that I have the ability and confidence to recover the old land of China! ”
