Shang Kexi knew that his demise was imminent, so he asked his son Shang Zhixiao to make arrangements for the golden cicada to come out of its shell in advance. In a fire in the palace, the corpse was burned beyond recognition, and no one must have known that Lu Daoshang Zhixiao was still alive and was hiding in the cellar of a family.

However, the tree fell and scattered, and each man took care of his own. At that time, the city of Beijing was broken by the Dashun army, and Chongzhen's prince was also rejected by his grandfather.

Regarding these people who were captured alive, Zhu Yongxing made a decision without even wanting to see them. As for the whistleblower, although he despises it in his heart, he must reward it as long as it is beneficial to him. After all, with encouragement and publicity, there will be more such guys in the future.

Yi Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Jin Yinjun is known as a celebrity, can His Highness be able to see him?" If you can take it—"

Zhu Yongxing glanced up at Yi Cheng and said, "Celebrities are not like this. Nanxiong slaughtered the city, Guangzhou massacre, this person is in the Shang rebel army, can there be a word of advice? With personal kindness and righteousness, he is a man who works for the tiger, even if he is knowledgeable. What's the merit? ”

"I have lost my word, please don't sin Your Highness." Seeing that his suggestion was rejected, Yi Cheng hurriedly bowed down and pleaded guilty, and then said: "Since this is the case, his guilt will be made known to the world, so that others will not discuss it." ”

Kill the reader. Killing famous scholars has always been a taboo. Even the most heinous people often have to be hypocritical and righteous, as a corporal of Lixian. Yi Cheng's suggestion was not because he had a personal relationship with Jin Yinjun, but because of Zhu Yongxing's consideration.

Of course, Zhu Yongxing knew this, he smiled slightly, and said: "Changshi thinks about King Lone, how can Lone be blamed?" Well. Since it is known as a celebrity, it must be justified. Corporal Lixian, you also have to look at his character and behavior, but he is very picky! ”

"His Royal Highness's vision is extremely high, and it is naturally difficult for the people of Jin Yinjun to enter His Highness's eyes." Yi Cheng said with a smile: "The newly appointed local officials have arrived in Guangzhou, and His Highness can summon them at a later time." ”

"Let's have a feast in the evening. It is not only to catch the wind, but also to see them off. Zhu Yongxing smiled and nodded. It is imperative for Guangdong to regain its localities and to quickly stabilize them. ”

"Then I'll arrange it." Yi Cheng saw that Zhu Yongxing had no more instructions, so he took his leave.

Yongli patrol hunting, normal imperial examinations naturally cannot be held. And this is exactly what Zhu Yongxing wants, using the academy to select talents. The model of appointing officials after training is running and perfecting in the process of exploration, and is gradually becoming a common practice and a law.

And through the academy, this place where fame and official positions are awarded, Zhu Yongxing is mastering the rule of officials in the Ming Dynasty. Who can be an official. Now they can only be students of the academy, who have studied the textbooks designated by Zhu Yongxing, and are familiar with the policies implemented by the Ming Dynasty at present, rather than the sour and rotten literati who were selected through the imperial examination in the past.

Therefore, Zhu Yongxing has one hand for literature and one hand for martial arts, and firmly controls the lecture hall and academy in his hands. Because he is also the principal of the martial arts hall and the dean of the college, all those who graduated from these two cadre training schools are considered Zhu Yongxing's students. In ancient times, the name of this division commander was not trivial. Deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors is even more intolerable in the world, and thousands of people spurn it.

Because of this, Zhu Yongxing attaches great importance to the lecture hall and the academy, and often makes appearances, with modest and easy speech, and is close to him. Every time he graduates, Zhu Yongxing personally issues certificates, military ranks and other certificates.

In this crusade, a large area was seized at once, and Zhu Yongxing went to Guangzhou and did not return, and missed the graduation ceremony for the first time. Now, these students who are going to serve as magistrates after graduation have come to Guangzhou, and Zhu Yongxing also wants to make up for it.

Moving, moving the martial arts hall and the academy are things that are being planned and being prepared. However, there is speculation from the outside world, but Zhu Yongxing and higher-level officials have not made a real statement. The key is to consider and judge whether Guangzhou can be safe and secure.

Ma Bao, the king of Ruyang, led his army to continue to advance eastward, Huizhou, Heyuan, Chaozhou, and Meizhou, in an effort to expand the occupied area to the east of Guangzhou and provide a barrier to the east of Guangzhou; After the Xuguo Gong Ma Weixing, who was originally stationed in Liuzhou, captured Wuzhou, he marched to Hezhou to defend the northwest direction of Guangzhou; Li Sixing, the son of the Jin dynasty, Wei Junzhong, and Yan Weilong, the commanders-in-chief, led an army north out of Qingyuan and advanced to Shaozhou.

The Eastern Expeditionary Army came out in all directions, one was to attack the city and seize the land, and the other was to create security for the movement. Ma Bao and other generals are well aware of this. Since the Eastern Crusade, the Ming army has expanded several times and has more than 70,000 horses, of which more than 40,000 are veterans of the Ming army, all equipped with flintlock muskets and bayonets. In addition, the recruits were composed of volunteer villagers from Guangxi and Guangdong, and nearly half of them were armed with cold weapons such as broadswords, spears, bows and arrows.

The arsenal produced more than 4,000 muskets a month, and imports depended on the financial situation. What's more, the production of the arsenal is not only guns, but also artillery ammunition, and after several major battles, being able to support it has already satisfied Zhu Yongxing.

Although muskets and bayonets have a great advantage in battle, the cold weapon unit also has combat power, especially the enemy facing it is mainly the green battalion soldiers, the weapons are of the same level, and it is the will to fight that determines victory or defeat. The troops under the Pingnan Wang Domain were completely annihilated in the two battles of Xinhui and Guangzhou, creating the most favorable conditions for the Ming army to attack and plunder.

Zhu Yongxing controlled the distribution of weapons to the army, but was generous to the navy. The Marine Corps has expanded its quota to 10,000 men, and only about 5,000 have been recruited so far, but 6,000 muskets are ready to be distributed in warehouses. Zhu Yongxing cannot be blamed for favoring one over the other, and it is true that the navy will become the most powerful force to contain the Qing army's southward advance. According to the time calculation, the Qing court will definitely make targeted moves in a month, and then it will be time for the navy to take action.

The first to be dispatched should be the newly formed Yangtze River Naval Division, with 130 ships and 3,000 marines. There are more than 6,000 gunners and sailors. Chen Shangchuan, a Linghai general who was capable of writing and martial arts and had a steady personality, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Yangtze River Naval Division, which was also an arrangement to facilitate dealings with the Thirteen Families.

The rapid expansion of the Ming army in the navy and land was inseparable from the tyranny of the Qing court's "coastal border relocation". Just as the people of Yunnan Province experienced the poison of the Qing army and contributed to their grief and righteous indignation, Zhu Yongxing was able to give full play to his golden finger. Turn the tide on the tide. The same is true for the people of Liangguang, especially the people in the coastal areas, who returned to their homeland after being liberated by the Ming army, regained their old business, and cherished the hard-won turning point even more.

It is said that the southerners are cowardly, but they ignore that whether it is the Mengyuan or the Qing army going south, they have been met with the desperate resistance of the so-called "cowardly" southerners. It's just that meat eaters despise, whether it is the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was still a small court in the Southern Ming Dynasty, but it did not show wise and outstanding leadership, and did not fully and effectively mobilize the people. The government led by Zhu Yongxing, on the other hand, had already had a wealth of experience in Yunnan Province, and as soon as it entered the two provinces, it implemented the policy step by step, giving land and reducing taxes. It is not surprising that it has been embraced by the public.

The army is mainly Guangxi, and the navy is mainly Guangdong. Targeting the characteristics of the local population. Zhu Yongxing and the General Staff Department made a very wise decision. Guangdong has been stable for many years, and its wealth is not comparable to that of Yunnan Province, which had just experienced war. In the process of attacking the city and grabbing the land, the fullness of the treasury and the donation of the gentry reduced the logistical pressure of the Ming army and accelerated the advance of the Ming army. It also makes the financial pressure on the expansion of the army not very great.

The fire in Pingnan Wangfu burned a lot of treasures, but the gold and silver melted in the soil can be refined, Shang Zhixiao was beheaded, and a lot of fine and soft were seized. Plus the raiding of the homes of war criminals. The money gained was able to support post-war pacification and some reconstruction.

Zhu Yongxing looked at the latest statistics, and in military affairs, he only focused on big strategy, and more energy was focused on finance. The consumption of hot weapons is not comparable to that of cold weapons, if it is a knife or gun, sharpen it and repair it, and it can almost be used; Bows and arrows can also be recovered and captured. Keming military flintlock pistol, not to mention the fixed paper shell bullets, even if they are filled with complicated bulk medicine, the gunpowder is also a new formula, basically all of which have to be made by themselves.

The consumption of ammunition and materials will eventually be collected into money. Therefore, most of the time, Zhu Yongxing is thinking about how to make money, how to make more money faster.

Surprise the wind and clouds, the decisive battle on the battlefield, the command is like a god, and the enemy is unstoppable. Well, such a dream is getting farther and farther away from Zhu Yongxing, and I'm afraid it is also an unrealistic dream. Famous generals, the experience that has to be piled up with corpses and bones, the ruthlessness tempered in countless deaths, and the courage tempered in flesh and blood. Zhu Yongxing, although he has also commanded several battles, is far from enough. What's more, his goals have changed, and he doesn't think he's that material.

There was a gentle knock on the door, Zhu Yongxing shouted, and the person outside pushed the door in, it was Ye Hu from the Intelligence Bureau. After the salute was finished, Ye Hu handed the latest information to Zhu Yongxing.

Zhu Yongxing looked at it carefully, frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and said: "This should be a decision made before the recovery of Guangzhou, I don't know if there will be any changes in Ludao." ”

Ye Hu seemed to have thought about this information, and replied quickly, "The Manmeng Eight Banners have always been arrogant, and the danger of Guangdong and the defeat of Shang Rebellion were already known to them, so they should not have taken Shang Rebellion's troops into account. If it is changed, the lowly post feels that it is more credible to increase the number of troops. After all, Zhejiang also had some Manchu and Mongolian soldiers stationed, and then more Han troops were drawn from Fujian. ”

This was the information that came from the Qing court in an urgent manner: some cavalry and 700 Mongol soldiers stationed in Yanzhou, Shandong Province were transferred to Jiangning (Nanjing), and 100 cavalry and 600 Mongol soldiers are now stationed in Jiangning, and 700 Manchurian and Mongol soldiers stationed in Huizhou and Chizhou, totaling about 3,000 people. There are not many of them, but they are elite, and they are led by the "Pingkou General" Harhaqi to Guangdong.

"You're saying that the enemy will definitely come, and that there will be more than three thousand men in the plan." Zhu Yongxing pondered, "Unless there are any changes, such as containment and feints." Hmm, how long do you estimate it will take for the enemy to draw and prepare? ”

"Back to His Highness, the humble position and his subordinates have calculated, it will take at least a month." Ye Hu paused, guessed and said, "Or this is deliberate, the enemy may want to achieve a victory in the early years of the pseudo-Kangxi." ”

"It's a possibility." Zhu Yongxing wasn't sure if this was the case, he calculated the time and said slowly: "If the Yangtze River Naval Division acts in advance, can it make the enemy change its deployment?" Got some time? ”

Ye Hu thought for a while and said: "If the sailor enters the Yangtze River, if he can take advantage of the situation to threaten Jiangning, he should be able to contain the enemy going south." ”

Zhu Yongxing smiled and said, "If you want to achieve this effect, I'm afraid that the Yangtze River Sailor alone is not enough. The Navy is also going to be dispatched. Well, it needs to be carefully discussed before the final decision is made. ”

"Your Highness is planning, this matter will be done." Ye Hu has always had very few expressions, which makes people feel a little indifferent, Zhu Yongxing once jokingly said that he is not like Jinyiwei, his characteristics are too prominent, how can he hide in the sea of people without revealing mountains and water. Habit becomes nature, though. Ye Hu wanted to change it, but it was a little nondescript.

Zhu Yongxing smiled and shook his head, this is not modesty, but the changes that have occurred in history over time are weakening his ability.

"That's right." Zhu Yongxing remembered something and asked: "The intelligence station on the Jingshi side should be strengthened, not just a main station, and a sub-station can avoid risks." Personnel development should be cautious. The focus is on the clothed servants in each prefecture, and even the eunuchs and miscellaneous servants in the palace. There is also Yang Qilong, whom Gu mentioned earlier. You can pay proper attention to it, and it is better to find nature. ”

"Remember." Ye Hu agreed, hesitated, and cautiously suggested: "Your Highness, Guangdong is newly restored, and the place is still unstable. Please pay attention to your safety. ”

Zhu Yongxing nodded, Ye Hu hadn't finished speaking, he had already understood the meaning. Entering the city, paying public sacrifices, summoning gentry, and commending meritorious personnel...... He did have a little more activity in public.

"The place was initially decided, and the people's hearts were not at peace, and this period of time passed. The lonely king is naturally idle. Now, it's up to you to pay more attention. Zhu Yongxing smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to worry too much, Guangzhou was recovered so quickly, which was unexpected by the enemy." By the time they came to their senses and made preparations, it was too late. ”

Ye Hu agreed with Zhu Yongxing's judgment in his heart, but this kind of thing should not be careless, even if there is the slightest omission, it must be treated with extreme vigilance. There was information in the past that Li Shutai in Fujian Province sent spies to buy Zheng Chenggong's neighbors and poison him. Although this conspiracy was discovered and did not succeed, it sounded the alarm for Ye Hu and others. In terms of fame, Zhu Yongxing is currently above Zheng Chenggong, and he knows that the enemy will not repeat his old tricks and target Zhu Yongxing.

"Perhaps the Ministry of Intelligence can take action to assassinate high-ranking and powerful officials of the Qing court in Beijing or elsewhere as a deterrent." Ye Hu tentatively made a suggestion.

Zhu Yongxing resolutely shook his head and vetoed it, "The intelligence agencies in the enemy-occupied areas should not carry out such an operation unless they have to, it is dangerous and easy to expose, and the effect may not be good." Stay dormant for a long time, just waiting for the right time. This purpose cannot be changed, and it will not change for a long time. ”

"I'm in a hurry, please forgive me." Ye Hu bowed and pleaded guilty.

Zhu Yongxing smiled slightly, took out a low one from the drawer, and said, "Although it is a hidden front, work is very important. Lone hasn't forgotten, this is the quota for promotion to the rank of official, you go back and discuss it carefully, and report it as soon as possible! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace." Ye Hu hesitated slightly, and immediately bowed and saluted.

Assassination is not allowed, this is to cherish the lives of subordinates; The promotion of officials and knights means that their work has been recognized by Zhu Yongxing, and it is a commendation and reward. Moreover, this quota was handed over to Ye Hu, which invisibly improved Ye Hu's status and prestige, and he could better lead the work.

I don't know if Zhu Yongxing thought about it so much, anyway, Ye Hu thought about it, and he admired Zhu Yongxing more and more in his heart.

"Keep an eye on the situation in Myanmar." Zhu Yongxing instructed lightly, as if he was explaining an insignificant matter.

Ye Hu's heart sank, and he hurriedly replied: "I haven't relaxed my humble duties, everything is normal over there." ”

"That's good." Zhu Yongxing exhaled a long breath gently.

Everything is normal, to put it vaguely, but it means that the Yongli and the small court in Myanmar are all under control, and there are no accidents. Although Myanmar sent a large number of idle people, Yongli and those high-ranking officials did not suffer any crimes. Zheng Zhaoren used money to recruit local Burmese people to serve as servants in the "palace" through Burmese officials, waiting for the emperor and adults.

The material conditions have been greatly improved, with meat and vegetables, clothing and bedding, and even the dwellings have been repaired. There is only one purpose, and it is best to make these people comfortable and happy.

The Zheng family helped Zhu Yongxing, and they made a great effort, Zhu Yongxing was grateful, but he didn't want to connive, and he didn't want the Zheng family's power to be too inflated. There are money, there are people, this is very disturbing existence. Therefore, the intelligence personnel in Myanmar were arranged by Ye Hu. Balance and restraint are the methods adopted by Zhu Yongxing to treat the Zheng family, and they are also a measure to prevent him from being deceived.

As long as you are loyal and don't engage in conspiracy behind my back, Zhu Yongxing will naturally repay his kindness, and he has always done so. But if you want to betray, or be bold, Zhu Yongxing also has countermeasures.

The human heart is fickle. This is what Zhu Yongxing has experienced and seen. Far from it, Shang Zhixiao is the most recent living example in front of us. Although I have paid great attention to the distribution of benefits, I try to satisfy everyone and make everyone feel that the future is bright with me. But we are not all people, and we will never be free from omissions, and we will not guarantee that those who have been close to allegiance will have different hearts.

Moreover, Myanmar's Yongli has always been a heart disease, and he has to be cautious. Fortunately, everything is normal at the moment, and it won't cause trouble for him.

Zhu Yongxing thought about it for a while, and it wasn't until Ye Hu opened his mouth to retire that he came to his senses.
