"With General Min's military achievements, it is extremely easy to get command of the guard." Zhou Liangmin said in a deep voice: "But it is still a bit difficult to get a real position in the camp."

"I have relatives and friends in Nanjing." Min Yuanqi was calm and continued: "I have all come here one after another. It is not difficult to add the commander of the Guan Caowei. It is generally the case that it is difficult to have a real position in the camp."

"Odd." Zhou Liangmin smiled and said, "The court has been suppressing the enemy since the second year of Chongzhen, and beheaded thousands of levels and tens of thousands of levels in one battle. Until now, in the 17th year of Chongzhen, although the more bandits are suppressed, the emperor has sacrificed his country. The war against the enemy is getting bigger and bigger. The war between more than a thousand bandits is indeed not worth mentioning in the eyes of the dominant boss. General Min's military achievements are impressive because this is the barrier to the north of Nanjing, guarding the river defense, so it is still worth mentioning. This is why he can operate a guard commander."

"I guess Praise the painting has some advice on the future of the officials?"

"Nothing else," Zhou Liangmin said in a deep voice: "Since my brother was appointed as the Huaiyanghai defense army to prepare for the road, he has been a few smelly fish and shrimps under his command, and it is difficult for him to even set up a team to arrange Yiwei. If my brother asked to set up a tourist camp in the area from Taizhou to Yancheng in the name of Huaiyang Road to eliminate local bandits and enrich the sea defense... In the name of the Haiyang Road, the problem of passing should not be big..."

Zhou Liangmin's face was full of smiles and stopped talking. At this point, Min Yuanqi was obviously not a fool, and there was no need to say anything below.

"If this guerrilla is to be established, is there any fixed place?"

"I hope to stay in Taizhou, or Yancheng can do it."

"If you can serve as a battalion of guerrillas, you still hope to be stationed in Yancheng," Min Yuanqi said with his fist: "Taizhou is very close to Yangzhou, and it is very convenient to have something to do. If you don't have anything to do, you won't be too afraid of people."

This was very clear, and Zhou Liangmin also understood it all at once.

Once Beijing lost, Nanjing became the actual capital. Yangzhou and Huaian, the important place on the canal riverside is not only the previous position of canal transportation, but also the fortress of river defense.

Yangzhou was originally a wealthy place and was also a traffic jam. In addition, it became a key military gang and Taizhou was close to Yangzhou. How could the court feel at ease to release a battalion of soldiers in Taizhou to control Zhou Lianggong, who was very exclusion and resentful?

Even though the Min family has been a general for generations, they are all weak in Yangzhou and have been involved in generals who have served the Ming Dynasty for many years and are qualified to enter. They have been in office for a long time and have been in operation for a long time. All the officials, gentlemen and civilians in Yangzhou have accepted it.

If another battalion of troops is sent to Taizhou, the scholars and people in Yangzhou are afraid of being worried. If they add a sword and put it on the heads of the people in Yangzhou, if this is true, someone will immediately make trouble.

"We didn't think about it carefully..." Zhou Liangmin wiped his sweat, thinking that the martial artist in front of him was more thoughtful than them. Is Daming really the Ming Dynasty he knew?

"Then put the You Bingbat in the Yancheng area, which is under the command of Huaiyang Road, and is responsible for guarding the coastal defense and river defense from Yancheng to Guannan." Zhou Liangmin had the power to make decisions before coming here, and Min Yuanqi considered it more thoroughly and reasonably.

"Yuntiguan is adjacent to the sea." Min Yuanqi said in a deep voice: "There were still hundreds of Qinshan Island thieves among the bandits last time. It is reported that after being annihilated, the thieves on the island were in great trouble and wanted to recruit accomplices from the south to retaliate. Although the outlet of Yuntiguan was prosperous during the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty changed the sea to rivers and canals gradually declined, but in this important place, there must be no camps and soldiers guarding..."

Zhou Liangmin knew the meaning of elegance when she heard the string song, and immediately said, "That is to add a battalion of guards here at Yunti Pass?"

"That's what the officials mean."

"This is the garrison position?"

"The lower official recommended the clan's uncle Min Gande and the assistant secretary of the Qianhu House of Yuntiguan."

"Haha, the student understands."

Zhou Liangmin had not been allowed to enter the hundred households. Of course, he could not see a large number of new soldiers pouring into the school grounds, and a large number of craftsmen were building the barracks. If the new soldiers had no place to live, they simply lived in tents first. It was more than enough to live in a big cowhide tent. In addition, the ditches were dug, which was enough to divert water and discharge sewage. Everything in the barracks was in order, and it did not seem chaotic because of the large number of soldiers entering.

More than 3,500 people were organized into two thousand headquarters according to Min Yuanqi's idea, and even the battalion headquarters was established.

Previously, he was considering how to give these soldiers a name that they had mentioned. Zhou Liangmin was really sleepy and gave him a pillow. It was too timely and appropriate.

Zhou Lianggong, as the battalion of the sea defense, asked to add a visiting military camp and set up a guard. The court had no reason to slap him in the face for this matter.

Besides, it is obvious that the court will not allocate troops, horses, money and grain in this situation. Anyway, the policy can be given, so don’t think about things like money, grain, soldiers and generals.

If Zhou Lianggong had not convinced Min Yuanqi, he would not have humiliated himself.

There was no money or food, and no one came to eat this bowl of rice with the flag of recruitment. Besides, there were no generals under his command, so I could only recruit a group of mobs to make a bird? Now there are no Eight Banners soldiers invading the territory, so that the whole country in Taizhou shared the same hatred for the enemy to help the Zhou brothers recruit soldiers and raise food.

Min Yuanqi's soldiers and grain are ready-made here, and there are also generals, just give them a name.

Zhou Lianggong had power and righteousness, but he could not put forward the banner of a big camp.

Both sides hit it off.

"If this is the case, I will be willing to serve Lord Zhou. If anyone is sent, how dare you do your best to do your best?"

"Hahaha..." Zhou Liangmin was overjoyed, and helped Min Yuanqi up who had bowed down, and said happily: "With Yuanqi's service, if my brother gets ten thousand elite troops, when the emergency comes, I hope Yuanqi will not forget what happened today."

"The general dares not forget it." Min Yuanqi stood up and said, "One, if there is no Master Zhou, the last general, we must protect Yuntiguan from Yantai area. This is the general who grew up since childhood and was also given by his ancestors, so he would not be abandoned easily. Secondly, the ancients still repay the kindness of the general, and the kindness of Master Zhou to the general, the general who was loyal and filial to his family was also a person who passed on his loyalty and filial piety. How could he easily forget it?"

"If there is really a time of rush, let's see if Min is doing."

"Recently, bandits are afraid that they will not be able to arrive." Zhou Liangmin comforted Min Yuanqi and said: "I first arrived in the capital, comforted the people, sorted out the cabinet, and six ministries, and got Beizhi, Henan, and Shandong. It would take at least one or two years to reach our Nanzhi..."

"Everything is planned, and if it is not planned, it will be aborted. We will prepare for the future and make preparations early."

"Yuan Qi is indeed as strong as a general."

Zhou Liangmin truly admired him, but Min Yuanqi could only smile bitterly.

Of course, he hoped that the later the bandits would come, the better. Now the officials and gentry in Nanjing and Jiangbei were all staring at Li Zicheng.

Although most of the officials in Beijing chose to surrender, before fighting with Li Chuang, Huai'an and Yangzhou to Nanjing, Jiujiang, Wuchang, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, some of the officials in this large area were sincere and devoted to the Ming Dynasty, while others were thinking of at least fighting.

Anyway, the cannon fodder soldiers and ordinary people died. As long as they see, they really can't fight and cannot fight. At that time, they either surrender or surrender, or take off their clothes and go home to become gentry, their reputation will be much better than actively surrendering.

Of course, the career of the new dynasty is quite limited, but the most basic sense of shame among scholars these days is still there. They are forced to surrender and surrender voluntarily. The former doesn’t matter, but they still act as old people. They write books and say that they enjoy their homes without delay. Even if they can become officials in the new dynasty, now that the new dynasty is established, most of the Long Xun ministers are military officials, and this has been the case in all dynasties. Why should civil officials join in the fun and find that suit?

The whole south, regardless of southeastern, southeastern, everyone is actually thinking about the same now... Why are the Zhou brothers eager to catch soldiers? First, they have to protect themselves in the most chaotic times, and second, they want to master more chips in their hands. When it comes to the day when Li Zicheng's main army goes south, they will either surrender or fight, it depends on how many people Li Zicheng has come.

With an army of hundreds of thousands or millions, the Zhou brothers immediately called Li Zi the Emperor Taizu.

A hundred thousand troops may have to look at it. Li Chuang will not call him anymore, most of them are King Li of the North.

If there are tens of thousands of defeated troops, these officials and gentry in the Southern Ming Dynasty will naturally rush forward with a scream and fight first.

The two countries fight each other, no matter how fierce the fight is, it is okay, as long as it does not involve personal grudges.

Like Gao Jie, if he abducted Li Zicheng's wife, he would have to die to the end.

Min Yuanqi understood this mentality quite well. Since Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty's control and control of the people was in a continuous decline. By the Chongzhen period, it had gone to another extreme. It was obvious that the control was weak and it was difficult to return, so it was necessary to slowly regulate and find a new balance point that bureaucrats, nobles and eunuchs and imperial power could accept. The worst thing Chongzhen did was to act randomly and disrupt the balance of all classes.

By the 17th year of Chongzhen, it was not that the Ming Dynasty ruled in Jiangnan and other places made everyone feel dire straits, but that everyone felt that this dynasty was over and there was no help...

Everyone felt that Li Zicheng should be the lord of the new dynasty. Only Min Yuanqi knew that Li Zicheng's political shortcomings were too fatal. He completed the organization of Ming Dynasty surrendered troops before the Qing nobles were mobilized.

The surrendered army and the Shun army guarded the passes separately. The lack of military pay could plunder the eunuchs and nobles in the palace, which was enough to make money.

Be at ease with the hearts of the army and the people in various places, and hire old bureaucrats except for serious evil, so as to appease the people of these landlords, and assign old local officials as usual, and send personnel to supervise them.

With such a move, Wu Sangui could not rebel and surrender to the Qing Dynasty. He also refused to care about his life and death after he surrendered to the capital. Otherwise, after his father fell into the hands of the Shun Army and fought with the Qing army for many years, he would have to shave his hair and ask for surrender. Although Wu Sangui had no moral character, he should not be so despicable.

When Shanhaiguan was obtained, the main force of the Shun Army and the Ming Army were stationed in Shanhaiguan, including Xuandaji Town and Shanhaiguan defense lines. Liu Fangliang's troops moved closer to the capital and formed multiple lines of defense with the main force.

In this way, the threat of the Qing army entering the pass was almost gone, and at most it was to attack Caogu. Under the premise that Li Zicheng already had a basic foundation, it was unlikely that the Han bureaucrats and gentry and generals would surrender to the barbarians of this small country.

At most about a year, hundreds of thousands of main forces of the Shun Army marched south along the canal, and the southeast and southwest of the Yangtze River could be issued an edict, so the Shun Dynasty was established successfully.

These thoughts can only be in Min Yuanqi's mind, and he cannot run to the capital at this time to point fingers at Li Zicheng.

Moreover, judging from Li Zicheng's performance after gaining power, political and strategic vision are ultimately the biggest shortcomings of this person.

Entering Guanzhong and capturing the capital along the nine sides is the worst choice, but Li Zicheng chose this way. This shortcoming cannot be compensated by manpower, and Min Yuanqi felt that there was no possibility of making up for it.

The calmness at the moment cannot last long. Although the situation around me is very good, Min Yuanqi understands that this is just the calmness before the storm comes.

"I'll turn back to Taizhou to see my elder brother..." Zhou Liangmin was in a good mood, but he didn't feel much excited when he saw the young military officer in front of him. He immediately praised: "General Min is worthy of his sons of the generals, and is not afraid of honor and disgrace. Even the students are ashamed of such calmness."

"Zhou Zan has won the award for painting." Min Yuanqi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
