The third time, everything was done politely, and Emperor Hongguang "avoided embarrassment" and approved the request of the first assistant Ma Shiying.

Shoufu Ma Shiying's Zhishi is full of conspiracy, the reason is that Emperor Zhu Youxiang knows it, but he has always opposed his Donglin people's devotion to make him satisfied, and the loyalty of the people in the Donglin Restoration Society is equivalent to being recognized by the entire world's scholars. It doesn't matter if Ma Shiying is gone, just give him enough rewards, but as for who will be the first assistant, it has become a suspense now.

Since Ma Shiying asked to step down, everyone in the Donglin Restoration Society was satisfied, and many people also had the idea of revenge for beating the water dogs, but unfortunately, these people did not get their wish. The emperor can be said to have been very generous to Ma Shiying, in addition to the regular rewards, he specially arranged a position for Ma Shiying's eldest son, the son of the country to supervise the wine, this position is quite high, and it is undoubtedly a kind of protection for Ma Shiying consciously by the emperor. At the same time, Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhou Yuji, the assistant of Hou Zhou Yuji, and other high-ranking officials and nobles repeatedly visited the hospital, which was undoubtedly a signal, and the people of the Donglin Restoration Society, who were full of guns, quickly quieted down.

In mid-June, Fu Cheng waited for Zhou Yuji's mother, Mrs. Wang, a pintai, to Nanjing.

Immediately after, the major event of the first assistant minister began, this matter has nothing to do with Zhou Yuji, and his current task is to accompany the old lady. At this moment, Zhou Yuji had to admire the energy of his son Zhou Huchen, he really drove the first assistant Ma Shiying from power, and it was so simple.

The decision of the imperial court came quickly, and in just a few days, the candidate for the first assistant was decided. Shangshu Qian Qianyi, who had always wanted to go further, did not succeed, because the person who would be pushed out was more qualified to be the first assistant minister than him.

Gao Hongtu, the word Yanwen, the word is still the same, the number is Qizhai, a native of Jiaozhou, Shandong. Wanli thirty-eight years of Jinshi. Newly taught middle school scholars. Because of the resentment of Xizong, he stopped for two years, and then promoted to imperial history. In the early years of the Apocalypse, he patrolled Shaanxi, and resigned Wei Zhongxian. In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, he worshiped the right attendant of the Nanjing Military Department and the head of the household. After the establishment of the Hongguang Dynasty, Gao Hongtu added the prince Taibao, and the prince and the young master changed to the household department Shangshu and Wenyuange scholars, and later entered the prince and the prince, but he resigned due to disagreement with Ma Shiying.

Now, Ruan Dacheng is dead, and Ma Shiying has also stepped down. Gao Hongtu is back.

Qian Qianyi had no way to continue to fight with Gao Hongtu, the two were both from Donglin, Gao Hongtu's reputation was much better than Qian Qianyi's, and he had more supporters, and the emperor was more satisfied with Gao Hongtu, which contributed to Gao Hongtu's ascension. Although Gao Hongtu is also a Donglin person, his style is completely different from that of ordinary Donglin people, and Gao Hongtu has a great advantage: "straight terrier". It is this that makes Gao Hongtu return to the court and stand at the highest point.

This is the biggest advantage of Gaohongtu. This was vividly demonstrated in the ups and downs of his career, and Ma Shiying, who was the first assistant, was more afraid of him, and at that time, Gao Hongtu successfully prevented Ruan Dacheng and Zhang Jie from ascending to the top. Afterward. With the continuous change of officials, the court has become more and more Ma Shiying's hall, and with Ma Shiying's forcible use of Ruan Dacheng, it seems that the general trend has gone. Gao Hongtu was disappointed, and he chose to leave, which directly caused the unscrupulousness of the Ma Ruan Alliance later. In addition to dealing with Ma Nguyen. Gao Hongtu has almost no flaws, he is not greedy for ink, he has an upright temperament, never cronyism, he dares to admonish, even if he is the same Donglin person who makes a mistake, he will not be polite, this is the biggest advantage of Gao Hongtu, the emperor takes a fancy to these, Gao Hongtu's upper position is reasonable, and it is equivalent to a balance.

It was also at this time that a piece of news came that Li Zicheng was dead. This is not very certain news, it is said that he died at the hands of Huguang's Minlian. But this news is very important, and it undoubtedly means that Li Zicheng's army has been truly defeated by Jiannu, and the army has become a plate of scattered sand.

And the news of Jiannu also came quickly, and the Azig tribe that went deep into Huguang, Sichuan, and Jiangxi was shrinking, which showed that the news of the destruction of Duoduo reached the ears of Azig, and a great war related to the world was coming.

Historically, it was during this time period that Azig led his army north to return to the north, with the purpose of crossing the river with the Duoduo tribe to take Nanjing. But this time, Azig is clearly the real return to the north. Because the destruction of the Duoduo tribe caused a military vacuum in the northern land, Azig's purpose of returning north was very clear, to keep the northern land.

The news kept the court busy, and the military court against Jiannu began. Three days later, Zhou Yuji, who had been delayed for a long time in Nanjing, was finally allowed to leave, and after bidding farewell to the emperor at noon, Zhou Yuji quickly left Nanjing, and he went straight to Fengyang.

At the same time as Zhou Yuji left, Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the military department, immediately ordered Jingnan Hou Huang Dequan to lead tens of thousands of troops across the Yangtze River into Luzhou Mansion.

At this time, the complacent Zhou Huchen had already arrived at Runing Mansion to meet Mo Xiancheng. Subsequently, Wang Deyong, who had already entered the territory of Shandong, began to reduce the speed of his advance, and his subordinates were old

The soldiers began to rush in the direction of Fengyang and Runing Mansion. The supplies of the logistics troops began to converge in these two places, and then, the liliang of public opinion was revealed, and countless people flocked to the place with high morale, and these people who were encouraged had only one purpose, to help and help their army transport all kinds of supplies in this complex area.

The people's liliang was huge, and when Zhou Yuji, who was in a hurry, appeared in Fengyang, his heart relaxed. In front of him is the torrent of the people, these people closely follow their own army, the soldiers almost do not have to move, a large number of materials will be rushed by the people to transport up, this is the people's heart, the enthusiasm of the people makes Zhou Yuji have mixed feelings.

When Zhou Yuji entered Runing Mansion, the scouts reported that Zhou Huchen had already commanded the army into Nanyang Mansion and began to block the 100-mile area from Miyang to Nanyang Mansion.

Zhou Huchen's deployment made Zhou Yuji very satisfied, and this military move was undoubtedly the most correct choice. Nanyang Province is surrounded by mountains on three sides in the northeast and west, the south is hilly, the whole terrain becomes a nearly horseshoe-shaped basin, the northwest is the extended boundless Funiu Mountains, there are Tongbai Mountains in the southeast, there are nine lonely mountains near Nanyang, and the rivers in the territory are vertical and horizontal, the terrain is extremely complicated, and the real defense area is only dozens of miles.

If you want to return to the north, the northwest direction is the continuous mountains, don't even think about going to Sichuan and Shaanxi, time does not allow it at all; The best route to Azig is a gap in the mountains; Nanyang. Liang's route was to the north along the banks of the Yangtze River along the Jiujiang River, and Zhou Huchen was equal to the most important return route that had already stuck the Azig Division. Even Azig went north along the Yangtze River, there is nothing to be afraid of, in addition to the army near Nanjing is gathering in the area of Anqing, there is also the strength of Huang Degong's department, and the Yangtze River will also be a powerful barrier, the water army of Zhou Yuji's army and the water army near Nanjing have also gone up the river, plus Huang Degong's water army, it is almost impossible for Azig to cross the river. Huang Degong and Zhou Huchen's blow to Zuo Mengeng was very heavy, and the combat ships that the Qing army could control were far from enough, and they were no match for Huang Degong and others on the water.

And Zheng Cai, Yongshengbo, Nan Anbo, Fujian General Town, Zheng Zhilong's fourth brother Zheng Hongkui, who is from Fujian, has also led the naval army to the direction of Jiujiang, and their goal is Anqing.

Shortly after receiving the news of the contraction of the Qing army, Zhang Xianzhong, who proclaimed himself Emperor of Onishi and had no political overall view, made another extremely wrong decision, he actually tried to attack Hanzhong. Li Zicheng's other subordinate He Zhen falsely claimed that there was a heavy guard of the Qing army, and Zhang Xianzhong, who was extremely afraid of the Qing army, quickly retreated to Sichuan.
