As soon as the Qionglin banquet ended, Zhu Youzhen immediately asked Shen Lian, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, who was responsible for delivering the good news and entering Beijing ahead of schedule, about the specific process of the entire annihilation of the Left Army.

Zuo Liangyu's troops were completely annihilated, and they were all annihilated before the Qing army went south, which made Zhu Youzhen's mood very excited.

At least, in this era, because of their own intervention, history has quietly changed, and the left army finally did not succeed in surrendering to the Qing army, which became a major help for the Qing army to occupy Kyushu in China.

This had to make Zhu Youzhen feel gratified.

By this time it was already late at night.

The bright moon hung in front of Zhu's window, Zhu Youzhen looked up at the clouds moving with the moon outside, and then turned around to see Chen Yuanyuan dozing off before he collapsed.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile slightly, walked over and picked up Chen Yuanyuan, and as soon as he touched her soft skin, Chen Yuanyuan woke up from a sudden start, and hurriedly got up and collected his clothes: "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" ”

"It's okay!" Zhu Youzhen said a word, and saw that Ma Shiying, the secretary of the military department, and Shen Lian, the Jinyi guard, had not left at this time, so he waved his hand and said: "You guys should go down first, and the specific matters will be discussed tomorrow!" ”

"Wechen retires!"

As soon as Ma Shiying and the others left, Zhu Youzhen directly hugged Chen Yuanyuan, then went to the couch and fell asleep deeply.

Zhu Youzhen, who had stayed up for several nights in a row, had slept enough this time, and as soon as he woke up, he immediately ordered someone to summon the Generalissimo's Mansion and the governors and commanders of various major theaters to go to Beijing to discuss matters.

Of course, the governor of Huguang, Gu Yinxi, should be busy recruiting the Chuang army, and Lu Daqi, the governor of Henan and the chief military officer, was fighting against the Qing army's Duoduo Department on the front line, so he was not on the call.

Zhu Youzhen convened the real power figures of the entire army system, naturally because of the major events about dealing with the southward movement of the Qing army after the total annihilation of Zuo Liangyu's troops.

After all, now that Zuo Liangyu's troops have been completely annihilated, and as soon as the matter of appeasing the Chuang army is completed, the Ming Dynasty will directly face the decisive battle with the Qing army's southward army.

It just so happened that Huang Degong and Yuan Jixian would enter Beijing to play a victory, and they could also participate in this parliament by the way, and it was estimated that it would only be the last time Zhu Youzhen would discuss with the governors and commanders of various places before the decisive battle with the Qing army.

As for how to resist the Qing army, Zhu Youzhen did not have a specific countermeasure.

Although he already knew that the Qing army's southward movement was still the same as the original history, allowing Azig and Duoduo to lead all the way south.

But Zhu Youzhen did not know where the Qing armies of Azig and Duoduo would fight in this era, and when they would launch the next wave of attacks.

At the two points of Huguang and Huaiyang, as well as the line of the Yangtze River and the area south of the Yangtze River, how should the imperial court deploy defenses.

At present, Huang Degong and Yuan Jixian have not yet entered Beijing, although the left army has been completely annihilated, but the Qing army has just experienced a period of recuperation after the war with the Chuang army, so the only thing that Zhu Youzhen is most concerned about at present is the matter of blocking Yinxi to appease the Chuang army.

Although it is said that the appeasement is fully responsible for the matter, the big decision naturally has to be made by Zhu Youzhen.

Wu Mengming, the commander of Jinyiwei, had already acted as Zhu Youzhen's eyes at this time, and used Jinyiwei to focus on the matter of appeasement, and tried his best to ensure that the progress of the appeasement and Zhu Youzhen's opinion could be transmitted between Wuchang Mansion and Nanjing as quickly as possible.

After receiving the order, Du Yinxi rushed to Wuchang under the personal escort of Wang Peng, the envoy of Jinyi Weinan Town.

At this time, Wuchang is naturally not the Wuchang City of the past, as a local central city and the richest area in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Wuchang is just a piece of withered grass and withered poplars at this time.

Back then, Zuo Liangyu slaughtered Wuchang City in the name of not leaving one person or one thing for the thieves, which made the new governor of Huguang feel like entering no man's land after entering Wuchang Mansion.

"In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, when I prepared for Wu and Huang Bing, there were still a few large counties of 10,000 households left here, although the thieves were evil, but they were just robbing the families of the big clans, and now it has only been two years, now you and I have traveled for a day and a night, but we have not seen one or two families, the disaster of the left thief is not deep!"

Du Yinxi couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, and when he saw a herd of wild dogs in front of him, he couldn't help but stop.

"Watch out for the table!" Wang Peng, the pacification envoy, shouted, and pulled out his knife with the other Jinyi guards, and Du Yinxi also knew some martial arts, so he was naturally not afraid of the wild dogs in front of him, but he felt deeply in his heart, after all, this was already a populated place in the past, where would there be so many wild dogs in the past.

Because there were many Jinyi guards, the wild dogs did not attack, but just followed them.

Du Yinxi didn't pay attention to the wild dogs behind him at this time, what he noticed at this time was the corpses of the people who fell to the ground in front of him, some of the corpses were not completely decomposed and were being torn by the wild dogs.

As the governor of Huguang, Du Yinxi is naturally very uncomfortable in his heart, and at the same time feels that the pressure on his body is very heavy, because Huguang, the granary of the world, will not only not begin to restore tranquility in the future because of the departure of the left army, but on the contrary, it will usher in the next military disaster again because of the Qing army's southward movement.

As the governor of Huguang, Du Yinxi had to find a way to restore the civil affairs of Huguang, and at the same time, he had to find a way to resist the southward movement of the Qing army, so as to protect the already devastated northern part of Huguang.

Zuo Liangyu was stabbed by the young officers of the Guards, and finally had to end up with a corpse without a head, the result is not deserved, at least for the corpses of the Huguang people everywhere in front of Yinxi, it is the greatest consolation for them.

Before Du Yinxi arrived at Wuchang Mansion, he had to meet with Liu Fangliang, the chief officer of the Third Army of the Guards Army, who was invited by the Chuang Army and served as the deputy envoy of the Guards at the behest of Zhu Youzhen.

Liu Fangliang was a fierce general of the army in the past, when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, the army was divided into two routes, one was led by Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, the general of Quan, an army from Shanxi to Beijing, and one by Liu Fangliang led an army from Henan to Beijing.

Being able to lead an army alone in the invasion army and take on the main task of capturing the capital is enough to prove that Liu Fangliang's status in the invasion army is not inferior to Liu Zongmin and Li Yan, who is now temporarily in charge of the leader of the invasion army.

Naturally, this is also the reason why Zhu Youzhen used Liu Fangliang, who can stand out in the army and lead the army alone, and his ability cannot be underestimated.

Although Liu Fangliang is now quite a general who is valued by Zhu You's inspectors, he naturally still has feelings for his brothers, and now he is even more overjoyed when he gets the will to appease the army, after all, in this case, he will no longer have to be enemies with the former brothers in the army, but can work together for the court and punish the Tartars.

"Maozhong (Chen Zilong's words), you were a talented man before you joined the army, and you can speak well, and you will discuss the specific matters of this appeasement on my behalf with the governor of block, and this general soldier must take this opportunity to have a good drink with the brothers in the past!"

As Liu Fangliang spoke, he saw Jinyi Wei Qianhu Lan Guanwei coming on horseback: "Master, the blocking table is already waiting for you in front, invite you to go!" ”

Although Lan Guanwei is already a member of the Jinyi Wei system, his title for Liu Fangliang has not changed, and it is still the same tone when he was an adopted son by Liu Fangliang's side.
