Zhou Yuan dared to do this because he saw that South China and many forces did not agree with the Hongguang Imperial Court, as long as someone took the lead, someone would follow.

At present, what he needs most is soldiers and horses, at least a thousand soldiers in the city must obey the command, so that it is possible to launch a mutiny and kill Ling Jingyang.

He asked Li Jiantai to think about how to recruit soldiers, speaking of soldiers, it was said that Li Jiantai's sore spot was also the sore spot of the Chongzhen court, after the Chongzhen court was defeated by the Qing army, almost all the main forces were lost, and only dozens of civil and military ministers and Jinyi guards followed Emperor Chongzhen, and these ministers swore to follow, which made Emperor Chongzhen not lose confidence, but lurked quietly somewhere, waiting for the opportunity to soar into the sky.

Li Jiantai and Zhou Yuan said that they could recruit dead soldiers from all over the country, and then lurk in the inn, and when Ling Jingyang returned from Huizhou, they would launch a night attack that night and kill Ling Jingyang in one fell swoop.

Zhou Yuan laughed at Li Jiantai for thinking so beautifully, not to mention where these thousand soldiers came from, Ling Jingyang's guards, and that damn rifle platoon, without thousands of soldiers and horses, could not break through the defenses of these people at all.

So he asked Li Jiantai to stay here, everything was under his command, and the imperial court only needed to provide silver behind his back.

Li Jiantai couldn't say anything about him, so he had to not speak, but the court did have silver, and many forces in the southwest heard that His Majesty was still there, and some forces wanted to bet on both ends.

There are also most people who do not believe that the Chongzhen court is still there, but the ministers of Emperor Chongzhen are blasted out, and in the end, only a very small number of forces send silver to the court, although only a few forces send silver, but there are also hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which were sent to Ganzhou City by Emperor Chongzhen, so that Li Jiantai can play the best role as much as possible.

With silver, you can recruit madmen, after Li Jiantai operated in the city, the Ocean Inn became a base for secretly recruiting the dead, and through the Ocean Inn, Zhou Yuan's mansion has more than 100 dead people hiding in it.

Such a few people are not enough, Zhou Yuan still needs more troops, so he looked at the generals under Ling Jingyang, among which Lao Mantou is the general who has followed Ling Jingyang for the longest time, Zhou Yuan is not sure to win over Lao Mantou, so he can only rebel against other generals.

He Zhen's troops are fighting in Huizhou Mansion, even if they win over He Zhen, the troops under his command will fight against the red-haired devils in Huizhou Mansion, and there will not be many people left, and there will be no need to win over.

Wan Liyun, Gao Ding, Zhang Shun, Wei Lan, Zheng Chenggong five soldiers and horses in Jiangbei and the Fusang army in the fierce battle, not to mention the rebellion, it is estimated that it was chopped as soon as he opened his mouth, only the Shi Tiebu from the south of Zhili to the south of Huizhou Mansion can try.

In order to win over Shi Tie, Zhou Yuan tried his best, Shi Tie was also Ling Jingyang's old subordinate, and he used to be the strongest combat effectiveness of the Iron Fist Army under Ling Jingyang, but later the veterans lost too much, and a large number of recruits were replenished, and the combat effectiveness did not recover to its heyday, and gradually became a second-rate army.

This army from the main force to the second-rate, from top to bottom, the generals at all levels held their breath in their hearts, Zhou Yuan wanted to use this tone to plot against Shi Tie, even if he couldn't plot against Shi Tie, he would also plot against Shi Tie's generals, let his generals set off a rebellion, and take the entire Iron Fist Legion from Ling Jingyang's hands and become the main force of the Chongzhen Imperial Court.

This trick is similar to Zhang Luofu's mutiny back then, both of which are doves occupying the magpie's nest and disintegrating the Lingjingyang forces from within.

Zhou Yuan was in full swing trying to contact Shi Tie, and at the headquarters of the Special Bureau, Fang Xiaoyan summoned his subordinates and ordered them to report to him the information they had recently obtained.

These subordinates all rushed back from various troop stations and reported the information they had learned to Fang Xiaoyan.

Fang Xiaoyan first listened to the report of the Jiangbei Special Bureau, Zheng Chenggong and Wei Lan led the army to Shandong, and joined the two departments of Wanliyun and Lao Mantou in Shandong.

The four led their troops to engage in a tug-of-war with the Fusang army in Yanzhou, the Fusang army lost supplies on the island, and was very economical in rifles and bullets, and absolutely did not use rifles and artillery and other weapons until the critical moment.

Another soldier and horse, that is, the Fujian Ming army led by Zheng Zhilong, disappeared overnight, Zheng Chenggong was very surprised, his father brought 70,000 troops, why did he suddenly disappear from Shandong?

Zheng Chenggong didn't know where these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses went, and the Special Bureau didn't have the ability to inquire about Fujian soldiers and horses.

Although the Fujian Ming army disappeared, Zheng Chenggong and Wan Liyun rated

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses finally held the Yanzhou position, and the Fusang army did not launch a large-scale attack, but frantically built ships, and the two armies only had a small-scale confrontation, far from the point of breaking their muscles and bones, and the two armies engaged in a tug-of-war in Yanzhou, and no one could break through each other's defense lines.

In addition, the information from Zhang Shun and Gao Ding's two soldiers and horses in the Special Bureau fed back the information, these two soldiers and horses have been ensuring logistics for the front-line troops.

It is also because of the great help of these two soldiers and horses that the Ming army units fighting in Yanzhou and Fusang can be replenished in time.

Fang Xiaoyan asked his subordinates again, do you have any information about Fujian and Li Dingguo?

The officers and men of the Special Bureau who followed Li Dingguo to Guizhou lagged behind, and the feedback showed that Li Dingguo went all the way west, and received the support of local officials along the way, and successfully arrived in the eastern part of Guizhou.

Because Li Dingguo was appointed by the imperial court, his general army in Zhenyuanfu, Guizhou, led the army to settle in Zhenyuanfu, and the local Ming army refused to obey Li Dingguo's command, and several clashes broke out between the two sides, each conflict was limited to bare-handed fighting, and there was no large-scale fighting.

This is also the credit of Wang Yingxiong, he strongly opposed the war with Li Dingguo, after several conflicts, the Ming army of Zhenyuan Mansion was withdrawn, and Li Dingguo's troops were stationed in Zhenyuan Mansion, Li Dingguo was by no means a mediocre person, but occupied the land of the three counties of Zhenyuan Mansion, and other places were still garrisoned by the local Ming army, giving both sides.

Wang Yingxiong also admired Li Dingguo's general knowledge, Li Dingguo defended one acre and three points of land, and the local military and civilians did not have a greater conflict.

In Fujian, it is still a mystery, Zheng Zhilong secretly returned to Fujian, recruited troops in Fujian, but did not launch an attack on Nanzhili and Jiangxi, even if it was Yingtianfu, which was close at hand, Zheng Zhilong also endured nausea, watching King Lu in Yingtianfu, and did not send troops to attack Nanjing City.

There are Hongguang imperial court troops in the north, Longwu imperial court troops in the south, King Lu gave birth to horses and dogs in Yingtianfu, in this regard, Zhang Huangyan complained a lot, King Lu was also refreshing, and threw all the power to Zhang Huangyan, Zhang Huangyan saw that he was not motivated, and at the same time, he had to bury his head in training the garrison.

Fang Xiaoyan silently remembered all this information, did he want to go to Huizhou Mansion and report to the governor in person?
