In Zhou Shixian's eyes, this battle ended with the conclusion of Liu Zeqing's examination and his confession and slogan.

This interrogation is very important because after escorting Liu Zeqing back to Beijing, it must be handed over to the prison cell of the Ministry of Justice. Of course, the three judicial departments of the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Censorate will be held for trial. If you don’t give them a confession first, God knows when those men will slowly get you.

Moreover, with the confession in hand, if his father-in-law Chongzhen wants to issue any imperial edict, he has evidence to rely on and will not be criticized privately.

Zhou Shixian reviewed the entire battle and felt that it could actually be considered a small battle. This was also the first battle he commanded with his own level three [map].

Although his main force was only 3,000, he first used the fog to encircle and annihilate Yao Wenchang's unprepared 1,500 people, and then borrowed the power of the Changshan soldiers to hide his strength and tactical intentions well, and bonded Li Huajing's troops to the battlefield.

On the one hand, he kept weakening his strength, on the other hand, he used him to mobilize Liu Zeqing in Huai'an City, and then opened up all the firepower and the elite cavalry emerged. He defeated Li Huajing in one fell swoop, took advantage of the opportunity to cover up the killing, and used a method of driving tigers and swallowing wolves to make a large number of defeated soldiers impulsive Liu Zeqing's formation, without giving him time to react, and defeated him in one breath.

Once Liu Zeqing's central army leaves, then the Huai'an city will be the world of Li Banghua. The two battalions of governors and Chen Mingxi's five hundred soldiers are not weak in combat, and they are more than enough to deal with the hundreds of Liu Zhihan.

In this way, Zhou Shixian had some insights. As long as he had a strong soldier in his hand and could maintain a high degree of mobility, he could really use one soldier as three or four soldiers by relying on the map vision.

In some local battles, I am very powerful.

Another key point is the three edicts given by Chongzhen.

The first thing is to announce Liu Zeqing's crime, which can greatly increase our morale and shake the enemy's morale. After all, for Liu Zeqing's subordinates, cutting corners to the emperor's orders is one thing, and blatant rebellion is another thing.

The second step was to appoint Liu Konghe as the general of Shandong, replace Liu Zeqing's position, and also appoint Chen Wangxin as the deputy general of Shandong, which completely inspired the morale and loyalty of the Changshan soldiers, allowing them to use it wholeheartedly for their own use.

The third thing was to pardon Bai Tianfu, encouraging him to do things for the court, and at the same time gave him a place to live. All he asked him to do was not help each other. Bai Tianfu was actually not bad, down-to-earth and steady, and his disadvantage was that he was hesitant and transferred him to the rear to manage public order, which was just right.

Zhou Shixian thought to himself that it was very important to have the title of righteousness. Half of the south of the Yangtze River, the prestige of the court still existed. Even in the north, there were still countless people looking at the king's army in the south.

He remembered these summed thoughts in his heart, rushed into Huai'an City, and finally met Li Banghua, who had been separated for ten months in the Governor's Office.

This meeting was deeply touched. One old and one young cooperated endlessly on the way south. This time, they joined forces to eliminate Liu Zeqing in Huai'an, which accomplished an amazing event.

"Thank you for your hard work," Zhou Shixian rushed to say respectfully, "I am willing to take a chance and finally succeed. I am happy to congratulate you!"

"Haha, you joke with me again!" Li Banghua laughed, not hiding his compliment in his heart. "I originally did these things around the corner, but I still have to rely on the prince to preside over the overall situation. After all, there is no question of nothing without the army."

Zhou Shixian wanted to say something, but Li Banghua had already taken him into the flower hall.

"Come on, eat and talk."

In the huge flower hall of the Governor's yamen, only this table of dishes was set up. It was getting darker, and the soldiers lit up the candlesticks on the four walls of the flower hall, so that the son-in-law and the Governor could hold the candles and chat slowly. Li Banghua and Zhou Shixian didn't want anyone to serve, and sat and drank each other.

"Mr. Concubine, have your soldiers trained?" Li Banghua said with a slight excitement in his eyes, "Although I have never left the city, today's battle situation has spread throughout Huai'an City."

"Oh? What do you say?" Zhou Shixian asked with interest. He also wanted to hear other people's evaluation of his army.

"It is said that there is a Red Flower Spirit Cavalry, extremely fierce and invincible!" Li Banghua gently patted the table, as if he was slapped. "There is another Red Flower Musketeer, coming and going like the wind, and shooting without any mistakes! You just rely on these two armies to capture Li Huajing first, and then Liu Zeqing."

Red Flower Elf Cavalry? Red Flower Musketeer?

Zhou Shixian looked down at the red velvet flower on his right shoulder, thinking that these two names were really nice. Sure enough, the people were the source of creativity.

"Li Huajing died and was killed by muskets." He told Li Banghua the news, "As for training, I picked 2,800 out of the 60,000 Beijing camps, and I am a good player in terms of skills, but now it can only be considered a rough formation. If I take time, I will definitely become a real strong army."

"Okay! No wonder I can beat Liu Zeqing to death, and Li Huajing gave him the head!" Li Banghua slapped the table, "The other ones..."

"Deputy General Yao Wenchang was captured, and Deputy General Zheng Hualong was surrendered. As for General Bai Tianfu, Meng Weng subdued it."

"I have never seen him, and it was Zhang Huangyan who was in contact with him," Li Banghua said cheerfully, "This Zhang Cangshui is a talented person. This time he made great contributions. Let's see how to use it after returning to Beijing."

Zhou Shixian nodded in agreement. Zhang Huangyan is a man with ability and courage. It is worth considering where to use the next step.

"What are you going to do about Wanxiu Garden?"

Although no one was around, Li Banghua still lowered his voice before asking this question.

"Anyway, I have to ask for an order," Zhou Shixian sighed, "Are there four princes involved in it, and like King Fu, or someone like King Fu, it is close to the relatives. This can only be made by himself. As long as Meng Weng and I can handle Liu Zeqing's affairs clearly, this trip will be considered complete."

Li Banghua nodded, and what Zhou Shixian said was the right way.

"I have sent someone to enfeoff Liu Zeqing's mansion. All the people in his mansion have been moved out and temporarily held in my Supervisor camp on Shoe Ground Street. As for checking the treasury in his mansion, I will wait for the prince to preside over it."

This shows Li Banghua's worldly style, which keeps Liu Zeqing's treasury intact, both making favors and avoiding suspicion.
