While Hong Chengchou's personal soldiers set out, the Qing court far away in Beijing also discussed relevant measures for the Southeast war on this festive day of the first lunar month.

The past six years of Yongli, that is, the ninth year of Shunzhi, was a year that was almost so bad that it could not be broken any more for the Qing Dynasty.

On the southwest battlefield, the Southwest Ming army, which had previously been hiding in Yunnan and Guizhou, finally released the long-accumulated power this year. First, Li Dingguo and Feng Shuangli defeated Shen Yongzhong, the Duke of Xushun in southern Huguang. Then, while Feng Shuangli continued to chase Shen Yongzhong, Li Dingguo rushed into Guangxi to kill Kong Youde, the most famous King of Dingnan among the Manchu and Qing Han generals. At the same time, Liu Wenxiu, who entered Sichuan, led a large group of Ming troops to sweep the Qing army all the way to Gansu and Shaanxi in the north. At the end of the year, Prince Jingjin Nikan, who went south to wipe out the Ming army in the southwest, was defeated by Li Dingguo.

This is the battlefield in the southwest, and the battlefield in the southeast is actually not much better. Last year, the Qing army in Zhejiang gathered a large army to defeat the Ming army in Zhoushan, which was the purpose of encircling and suppressing Dalanshan in the seventh year of Shunzhi. But unexpectedly, the Ming army in Zhoushan drove away, but Zhejiang's anti-Qing movement was not suppressed, but instead became more in full swing this year.

In April this year, Chen Wen was defeated by the Dubiao Camp in Lingxi, and then captured the General Jinhua Army alive. Next, Quzhou was naturally besieged by the Ming army. Although the Ming army withdrew its troops for a while, the Qing army, which was twice as big as the enemy in the Battle of Shentangyuan in September, actually suffered a crushing defeat. Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, died in Quzhou Prefecture a month later.

It can even be said that if there were no internal conflict initiated by civil servants in the middle of the year, this Ming army in Zhejiang would have probably expanded several times as much as it is today.

The teammates like pigs on the Ming army have never stopped. Since Yang Hao in the Battle of Sarhu, to this day, this is also a real key reason why the Qing army can use troops so smoothly. But this is still uncertain after all. After all, no one knows which guy who has always been righteous on weekdays will suddenly cheat people.

However, even with the strong help of the Ming army teammates this year, a governor, a general, three deputy generals and two prefectures that owed five counties in Zhejiang. On the Fujian battlefield, the Qing army, who had always helped Fujian, had been confined to southwestern Zhejiang. The southern part of Zhangzhou Prefecture, which originally belonged to the Qing Dynasty, was lost. The guards surrendered to the Ming army, and even Quanzhou was besieged.

After a year, even though the Ming army in Sichuan suffered the defeat of Baoning, Guangxi began to be gradually recovered by the Qing army because of Li Dingguo's northward advance. The Ming army in Huguang failed to expand the results of the war due to division of troops from Chenzhou and Hengyang, and even Hengyang was forced to give up. However, the strategic initiative of the southwest battlefield had changed hands, and the Qing powerful people in Beijing would feel chilled when they thought of the scene of Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang joining troops to go north together.

With the same problem, although under the planning of Hong Chengchou, who had already set out in advance, Chen Wen's strength had been restrained, and he did not open up the route that threatened the neighboring provinces and the sea outlet that joined forces with the Ming army in Fujian. Even Zheng Chenggong was forced to retreat back to Zhangzhou to recover from his injuries, but the strategic initiative was still in the hands of the Ming army in Zhejiang. According to the report of the Wenwu of Zhejiang, within a few months, once Chen Wen's next wave of recruits entered the camp, the war would inevitably restart.

Moreover, in addition to military threats, the Ming army in Zhejiang also managed to make the Southern School of the Kong family, which had just accepted the appointment of the Qing Dynasty, turn back to the Ming army. This means that the Southern School of the Southern School, which had already been shaken to death, suddenly had the capital to compete with the Confucian orthodox dynasty. After all, although the Southern School of the Kong family was not hereditary Yan Shenggong, it was a real sect. The Southern Song Dynasty used this as the orthodox Confucius family, which greatly hindered and destroyed the Qing Dynasty's people's hearts to restrain the Confucian scholar-official class.

Once the scholars in Jiangnan regarded the Southern Ming Dynasty as the orthodox dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty, the more the Qing Dynasty felt that the Northern Sect of the Kong family they had enthroned, the Jin came to worship the Jin, Yuan came to worship the Yuan, Ming came to worship the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty immediately changed the Qing Dynasty to worship the Qing Dynasty. It was hard to count how many masters they had changed. They also once regarded Kublai Khan's butcher with the blood of Han people as the "Master of Confucianism" as the shameless family, more and more they looked like a group of garbage scum that had lost all the face of Confucius.

Nowadays, although the Ming army was larger in the southwest battlefield and posed greater threats, it was only a military and political threat after all. However, the southeast was a place of wealth. The Ming army was unstoppable and had the tiger skin of the Southern School of the Kong family. It can be said that the three major issues of politics, military and economic existence exist.

Once developed, the impact will only be greater than that of the southwest and will not be smaller than that of the southwest. Even if the Ming army in the southwest has an emperor, it will be useless. In just nine years, the Southern Ming Dynasty has changed many emperors, including Hongguang of Fufan, Luwang of Lufan, Longwu of Tangfan, Shaowu of Lufan, Lujian of Lufan, who is said to have just been named as the Lufan, and the Jingjiang King of Ningfan who has not yet established his own independence...

As long as the power is 100% true, the children of the Zhu family will just pick up one of them and become an emperor. This is how the civil and military officials of the Ming court did it over the years. The Qing Dynasty also firmly believed that Chen Wen would never miss such an easy opportunity to be the best minister.

It is precisely because of this that after discussion, the Qing court released Hong Chengchou, the fierce dog. At least in their opinion, as long as Hong Chengchou is present on the southeast battlefield, even if he cannot win quickly, he will not allow the Ming army to continue to develop, posing a greater threat.

According to the news not long ago, Hong Chengchou's three axes had begun to work. The Ming army in Zhejiang temporarily restrained its minions. The Ming army in Fujian returned to the wounds of the nest. The two provinces were temporarily calm, especially the Ming and Qing armies in Fujian could not do anything to each other.

Hong Chengchou used various means to buy the Qing Dynasty for several months. If there was no threat from the Ming army in the southwest, they had already sent the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia to go south to suppress it. However, the situation in the southwest was as follows. Beijing's left-behind Eight Banners Army also wanted to deter the green camps in the north and the Mongolian alliance banners. It would be extremely difficult for the Qing Dynasty, which had limited elite troops.

In fact, Zhejiang's civil and military officials also had their own ideas about the Southeast issue. Even Chen Jin, who had already died for the Qing Dynasty, put it into practice and it is said to be quite effective.

However, since the memorial was delivered, the powerful and powerful officials of the Qing Dynasty did not recognize him. Several imperial meetings did not call any senior Han officials. Even old traitors like Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, were not qualified to attend the meeting. Today, Shunzhi invited the oldest relatives and noble king of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Zheng, who was once ranked before Dorgon, to come over, in order to make a breakdown of the matter as soon as possible.

"According to the report of the Han army's Han army inlaid red flag Gushan'ezhen Jinli, the Dubiao camp performed quite well in the Battle of Shentangyuan after copying the Yuanyang formation of the thief Chen Wen, and the number of killing and wounding bandits was quite amazing. If it weren't for the defeat of the other green camps too quickly, it would have been likely to defeat the Zhejiang bandits in the battle."

In the hall, the relatives and nobles who were qualified to attend the meeting and some ministers with the eyes of Shunzhi, such as Sony, Obai, Ebilong, Suksaha, etc., who were the ministers in charge of the guards, could only stand in the hall. Only Prince Zheng Jirhalang had a seat and could sit and discuss matters like Shunzhi.

"The number of winners and loses can be counted by estimating it? I think Jin Li, a dog slave, is also getting back to life!"

Over the years, the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty have been addicted to the gentle village of Beijing and cannot extricate themselves. The decline in combat effectiveness may not have been discovered, but it is no longer the same as when I was in Liaodong, when everyone was enthusiastic and moved forward bravely. The days of wealth and glory have begun to wipe out their fighting spirit, so they tend to use green camps to suppress the Ming army and the anti-Qing rebel army in various places. If they really don’t work, they will also draw the Han army. The core Eight Banners of the Manchu and Mongolian will not be able to go out. After all, the relationship between the bannermen is mixed, and anyone who doesn’t go out is likely to cause unnecessary trouble.

This matter has been discussed many times among the powerful people of the Qing Dynasty. Some people think it doesn't matter to strengthen a small number of Green Camp soldiers, while others think that Green Camp soldiers are also targets to be guarded against. After all, examples like Jin Shengheng, Li Chengliang and Jiang Xiang are really harmful to the Qing Dynasty.

For this reason, the two sides have debated many times, and they always parted in disagreement. Seeing this, Shunzhi had to invite Prince Zheng Jirgalang, who was originally very afraid of, to give an opinion. But who would have thought that Jirgalang, once he heard Sony's story, opened his mouth and cursed Jin Li, which really stunned everyone in the hall.

When the Qing Dynasty was first established, many ritual matters were still very rough. The palace was full of relatives and Shunzhi's confidants, and there was no censor. Besides, Jiergalang's identity was placed there, even Shunzhi, as the emperor, could not criticize his uncle for any inappropriate use of words.

In one sentence, Jiergalang was not interested in listening to the arguments held by his relatives and nobles and Manchu ministers. He stood up and said to Shunzhi: "Master, the foundation of our dynasty is the Eight Banners. The Eight Banners of the Manchu Army is the most important, the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army is second, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army is second. As for the Green Camp, they are just dogs used to chase and bite prey. They cannot be hungry until they have no strength to chase prey, nor can they eat too much, because they will bare their teeth at their masters when they are full."

"I have never seen those bandit slaves in Zhejiang, but the Ming army on the banks of the Hunhe River still echoes in the minds of the slaves until today. Although I, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, are not afraid, but there are too many ants and they will bite the elephant to death. We have only 40,000 to 50,000 males in the Manchus. If there are too many males in the Han Dynasty, if someone wants to learn Jin Shengheng, Li Chengliang, and Jiang Xiang, then the momentum will be full of beacons everywhere. I am afraid that not only Taizu, but Taizong's hardships over the years will be lost, and even our clan will be difficult to survive."

After Jirgalang said his thoughts, he sat down again and did not tell Shunzhi what to do. But that was true. Shunzhi was even more pleasing to Jirgalang, because Dorgon, who was also the regent, was completely different. Not only did he sleep with his mother, but he also stole his rights as emperor, but Jirgalang was more like his slave than his master.

There was Jirgalang's identity, and Shunzhi was obviously convinced by him. The remaining relatives and Manchu ministers naturally did not dare to have any objections, at least they would not say it in person.

The matter was decided. Soon, as the angels headed south, the senior civil and military officials in Hangzhou who had discussed this matter for nearly a month finally received the imperial edict on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

In addition to a series of senior civil and military officials such as the Han general Pingnan inlaid red flag Gushan Ezhen Jinli, the Han general Pingnan inlaid red flag Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan, the governor of Zhejiang Xiao Qiyuan, and the admiral of Zhejiang Tian Xiong, even Xu Lei, who had finally made an excuse to use the mother and daughter of the Li family to lure Li Ruixin to surrender Li Ruixin to block his wife's mouth.

However, not only did the imperial edict not allow the replication of the Ming army's tactics as they expected, but also made a strong criticism of the behavior of privately organizing the Mandarin Duck Formation.
