In the original history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, because of the serious infighting in the Ming court, no one coordinated the forces of all parties, let alone anyone thought of reforming the money law and maintaining the rule of the common people.

As a result, Hong Chengchou successfully appeased the southern provinces and made great contributions to the Manchu Dynasty's unification of the world.

But this life is different, no matter how Zhu Youzhen rules the country with iron and blood, and the gentry are dissatisfied with him, it is only some of the gentry who are dissatisfied with him, and Zhu Youzhen has not canceled the privilege of the scholar not to pay food.

What's more, he still occupies the orthodox righteousness, and also firmly controls the financial power, the army, and even uses the army to control the common people by reforming the money law.

Even the infighting in the court was under his control, and it was not even as fierce as the original history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, even to the point of fighting each other.

As a result, the state apparatus of the Ming Dynasty can continue to operate efficiently.

Although Ruan Dayue was regarded as a traitor by the scholars, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest in national politics as the secretary of the military department.

Because he knew that he could only hold on to His Majesty's big tree now so that it would not be swallowed up by the scholars.

And this war, His Majesty wants to win, and he wants to win too.

Only by winning this war can he prove to the whole world that he is right to be loyal only to His Majesty, and that he is not a traitor but a virtuous minister of different streams.

Ruan Dayue refused to create his favorite drama work, and also sent his beautiful concubine back to the countryside, only laying a bunk in the military headquarters, in order to do a good job in the logistics of the 600,000-strong army.

He is not Ma Shiying, and he doesn't have enough connections, so he can only contact Ma Shiying's old people in person.

Although Gao Hongtu and Liu Wanchun were very dissatisfied with Ruan Dayue, they did not dare to stumble Ruan Dayue in national politics.

They knew that they had already made His Majesty dissatisfied, and if they disregarded the interests of their family and country, they would die a miserable death.

Therefore, all the money and food demands of the Ministry of War were not allowed, and even Liu Wanchun, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, directly sent a note to the Ministry of Households, and the affairs of the Ministry of War were given priority to be handled first.

Gao Hongtu, as the first assistant of the cabinet, also reprimanded his protégé more than once to suspend the attack on Ruan Dayue and his party, everything starts from the overall situation, after all, although he is very worried that Daming will be defeated, he still does not want Daming to be defeated because of internal struggles.

Hong Chengchou didn't know any of this.

Historical experience and letters from friends in the south told him that the current Ming Dynasty is already in decline.

Coupled with Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen's usual moodiness and ruthlessness, the courtiers were afraid that they would already complain about it, so he was still confident that he would win the war.

"Qiyutang, our spy replied that Zhu Ming had learned the news of the gathering of our army, and also appointed Qin Liangyu as the general of Zhenguo to lead 600,000 guards to resist our army!"

At this time, the military attache in charge of intelligence collection in the Qing army said to Hong Chengchou.

Lucked on the side couldn't help laughing:

"Is there really no one in this Zhu Ming court, actually sent a woman to be in charge, what ability can a woman have, in my opinion, this Zhu Ming court is not dead, there is no general in the country, and a woman is in charge, it's funny, it's funny!"

"What the master said is very true, the Han people have a saying called Ji Si Chen, now it seems that this Zhu Ming has to rely on women to fight, but I am afraid that the men are scared to hide under the covers, haha!"

Zhou, the deputy commander of the Red Banner of the Han Army, who is now the governor of Henan, echoed a few words while standing behind Luckde, but secretly asked in his heart:

I had heard the old lord mention this Qin Liangyu, but he didn't expect to really become the head of the court today, but why was it known so quickly by Hong Chengchou's people, could it be that there are also spies in the court who built slaves? I've got to wonder if I can find out the details of this spy.

Hong Chengchou glanced at Zhou Ze, although they are all Han, he is a minister and a respected official, and Zhou Ze is just a clothed slave next to Luckdehun, who is loved by Lucketthun because he is good at singing, and even directly became the deputy capital.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou is very inconsiderate in his heart.

However, he could not give Zhou Ze face, but he had to give Luck de face, so he twisted his beard and laughed:

"Lord Belle don't underestimate this woman, this person has been famous since the Wanli period, has experienced countless hard battles, and his ability to command troops is not bad, although he is a female streamer, he is a generation of generals, Zhu Ming has always been stingy with the title reward, but he is Zhu Ming's only female marquis, although he has been sealed in recent years, but no one in Zhu Ming's court has questioned his qualifications, which is enough to show his reputation;

This person's qualifications are far away in Hong, and even Lu Gong and Yuan Gong were not as good as that year, before I entered the Qing Dynasty, I won a hundred battles and won a hundred battles, and the only time I suffered a heavy blow was also created by this person's children;

So you can't underestimate this person, Zhu Youzhen is quite eclectic, but I don't know who reminded him of this person, it stands to reason that she has already been deliberately refrigerated by the officials, after all, she is a woman. ”

As he spoke, Hong Chengchou turned to the military attache and asked, "Is the news true, will the Zhu Ming court really let her command the three armies?" ”

"Returning to the hall is what Liu Shenjun of the General Staff Headquarters of the Generalissimo of the Ming Court said personally, and there should be no fake."

When the military attache said this, Henan Admiral Zhou kept it in mind.

"Admiral Zhou, you have been in Henan for a month, do you know who are the officials stationed in Henan by the Ming Court on the other side?" Hong Chengchou asked Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze was stunned for a while, but then came back to his senses, he has always been good at singing and acting, and he is also very good at disguising himself, so he walked over and glanced at Luck Dehun, and only replied when he saw Luck Dehun nodding:

"If you return to the hall, the lower official has already inquired and understood that the governor and chief military officer of Henan on the other side of the river is Lu Zhenfei."

Hong Chengchou saw that Zhou Ze was calm and moderate, and he didn't say anything, only sneered:

"The road is white! Hmph, can a person in charge of Cao Yun be able to hold Henan, I will write a letter to you later, and you will find a way to find someone to hand over this letter to this road system, hoping that he can understand the righteousness and belong to my Qing Dynasty, so that the people of Henan will not suffer from swordsmen. ”

Although Hong Chengchou said it to Zhou Ze, in fact, the second half of the sentence was said to the general of Zhengnan, Le Kedehun.

Luckdehun had already been instigated by Zhou Ze, and in this southern expedition, Hong Chengchou must not be allowed to take the lead, not to let the court look down on the Manchurian nobles, and in order to be crowned the king of the county.

Therefore, when Luck Dehun saw Zhou Ze giving himself a look, he asked Hong Chengchou:

"Hongtang, we now have an army of 800,000, and I have 5,000 Manchurian and Mongolian iron cavalry and 10,000 Han army iron cavalry under my command, why be afraid of him Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Henan, you just said that he is doing a lot of luck, why bother to fight directly, it is difficult to wait for the main force of the people to arrive at us and then fight, then the loss will be greater!"

"Lord Belle doesn't know, before the expedition, the prince said that this southern expedition is mainly to appease, win the hearts of the people, and do it without a fight, and Hong means that this time I also have to wait for the first class Gong Tan Tai and He Luohui to fight in Shandong and Huguang first, so that the Ming Court can think that my main force is in these two roads, so as to induce the main force of the Guards to go to Huguang and Shandong, and when the time comes, we can suddenly cross the river to the south to get twice the result with half the effort, if we can appease Lu Zhenfei, it will be better."

Hong Chengchou said that Wu Sangui commanded:

Although the south is not as cold as the north, but in the end this is winter, in order not to miss the agricultural time and facilitate the crossing of the river, it will also cause difficulties for the army to be stationed, and the heating problem needs to be guaranteed."
