Shunzhi was still in the Hanlin Academy, but Hu Quancai and Liu Cheng and his party had already come out of my home from the Prince's Taibao, Minister of Political Affairs, and Grand Secretary of the National History Academy.

Ning Wan, I am an important official in the court, and the leader of the old Liaodong ministers. The people of the Eight Banners of Manchu in the inner city were in a state of great concern, and he got the news early. The powerful and powerful people were fighting with the emperor, so he didn't dare to get involved, so he simply stayed at home while sick and avoided the rumors.

After Liu Cheng and Hu Quancai discussed, they seized all the time and contacted some people very much. However, they were basically surviving officials from the Nanchang shogunate, and the rest were relatively scattered relationships and were not in a state of climate. Even if they had the opportunity, they had to contact important officials in the court in advance, so that they could not be boycotted by the interests. Ning Wan, the leader of the old Liaodong minister, is the most important one.

Through the relationship between Ma Guozhu family and Cai Yurong, the son of Cai Shiying, whom Hu Quancai contacted, they entered Ning Wan's house. Liu Cheng interpreted his plan with Ning Wan, but Ning Wan did not give a direct answer to support or negative one.

Liu Cheng was still a little confused about this, but Hu Quancai knew very well. The Han ministers in the court were already finished, and even the Southern officials were not left. Today, when the Southern Party, which had been intensified in the court, no longer existed, the Northern Party and the old Liaodong ministers were allies. If Liu Cheng and others wanted to accomplish things, they had to go through Ning Wan and me and other important officials. Now they are firmly in the Diaoyutai position. Naturally, there is no need to express their attitude. Without opposition, they are telling them that if you do it, I will divide a piece of cake.

Shameless, gaining nothing for nothing. Politically, these words are not derogatory. Now Ning Wan is qualified by his influence. On the contrary, Liu Cheng and others are eager to use this to achieve rapid promotion.

After leaving the Ning family's house, Hu Quancai, Liu Cheng and Cai Yurong and others rushed to the observatory, where there was another person there that had to meet in person. This person was a very critical part of Liu Cheng's plan. If it weren't for the Eight Banners of the Inner City yesterday, they would not have entered the residence of the man in Xuanwu Gate, and would have gone to discuss it.

While the group was still busy with the big things, Shunzhi was not in a hurry to express his opinion after hearing Zhu Zhixi's introduction. The storm had just passed, and he also needed time to weigh the pros and cons of this situation. It was not until a long time later that he made a decision and asked Wu Liangfu to send someone to the location where Zhu Zhixi pointed.

Wu Liangfu heard from Shunzhi's tone that the matter was of great importance, so the eunuch sent out did not dare to delay at all and went straight to his destination. The place he was going to was not elsewhere, it was Hu Quancai's residence in the capital, and Zhu Zhixi recommended it to Shunzhi was not someone else, it was Liu Cheng.

The eunuch arrived very early, but it took Liu Cheng and the others to come back after a long time. The man at the observatory had already agreed, and the man seemed more sincere than Ning Wan. There was no way, Liu Cheng had a reason he could not refuse, so he was invincible.

Seeing the little eunuch who had been anxious, Liu Cheng and Hu Quancai looked at each other and left the Hu family. They rode on the carriage and headed straight for the Forbidden City.

Liu Cheng got on the carriage and was indispensable. The eunuch was already impatient when he waited. Now that he saw the silver, he slightly calmed down his dissatisfaction.

In the palace, observing words and expressions was the top priority. He could clearly understand from Wu Liangfu's tone that Shunzhi had expectations for this person. Although Liu Cheng is just a surrender now and his official position is very low, who knows whether he will soar into the sky?

After accepting the money, the eunuch also hinted at Liu Chengyi and Liu Cheng confirmed the person who recommended him. He couldn't help but feel a little excited about how quickly this kind of relationship could make profits.

This is inevitable. He was eager to climb up all the time. If he hadn't tried to step on two boats so much in the Cao Conglong Rebellion, he would have been in charge of a battalion of soldiers now, even if he became the commander of a division, it would have been even more uncommon.

However, in the system, one unfaithful person was unwilling tolerate for a lifetime. His position in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Ming Army Group was destined from collusion with Cao Conglong. However, after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou first defeated Guangxin Mansion, and then was regarded as a staff member for consultation by Jirgalang, Yue Le, Ma Guozhu and others. This was not what he wanted, but as Chen Wen destroyed the Qing Dynasty's rule in Jiangnan, the Qing court was forced into a dead end. He finally got the opportunity to show his skills, but what he did not expect was that this opportunity came so quickly.

Repressing the excitement in his heart, Liu Cheng also knew that today's summons were crucial and they must be used as much as possible. He calmed down his mood by reconciling his feelings in the car, and lived in his mind the lines he had prepared for too long.

The car had already stopped outside the Forbidden City. Liu Cheng stepped into the middle with the eunuch. The red bricks and green tiles and high walls stood, and the Eight Banners Army guarding everywhere did not move at all. Entering the middle, the magnificent hall and the magnificent square, these were no longer shocking Liu Cheng's nerves all the time. Compared to this hall that was rebuilt by blatantly increasing taxes in the name of rebuilding the Forbidden City, at least in Liu Cheng's eyes, the Xiuguo Duke's Mansion, which he once envied very much, was simply a slum and was not worth mentioning at all.

"No wonder Emperor Gaozu of Han would express his true feelings when he saw Emperor Shin-chan. It turns out that this is the real imperial power."

This story was only seen in the book after literacy on Tiantai Mountain, but he did not dare to leave it alone. He quickly put away the excitement in his heart and continued to follow the little eunuch.

The Forbidden City is very big. Liu Cheng was shocked by such a magnificent building complex several times and recovered several times. He did not put away these reverie until he arrived at his destination.

"The emperor is still taking a nap, stand here and wait first, don't move."

The eunuch who walked out of the hall followed behind him, and the ducklings gave a cold instructions. Liu Cheng got the eunuch's eyes and did not dare to go forward to bribe him. He had to stand outside the hall properly and wait.

An hour later, Liu Cheng's legs became a little sore, and there seemed to be a busy voice in the hall. With Zhu Zhixi's edict coming a moment later, Liu Cheng finally saw hope.

After Zhu Zhixi entered the hall for a while, Liu Cheng was taken in by the eunuch. The eunuch had already taught the rules of the queen on the way. Liu Cheng knew the importance of etiquette and had passed it many times in his mind along the way. Now he has not made any mistakes in his time.

"Liu Qing, Zhu Aiqing recommended you to me, and I have many praises. Today I invite Liu Qing to come to see you with my own eyes and listen to you with my own ears."

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness of meeting you, and thank Mr. Zhu for his recommendation and support."

He knelt down and saluted Shunzhi, stood up to express his gratitude to Zhu Zhixi, thanking him and returning, and his eyes met, Zhu Zhixi's hints had already fallen into Liu Cheng's eyes.

Regarding Zhu Zhixi, Liu Cheng's interaction with him is very simple. He is an old man from the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He was the captain on Dalan Mountain and had a good reputation. Even if he was in a downturn, there were always a few people who could speak. In Zhejiang, he had heard people mention that Zhou Jingting had hated Zhu Zhixi, his friend of that year, and even when Ma Jinbao and Zhang Guoxun were captured one after another. It was basically confirmed that Zhu Zhixi had nothing to do with the fire that year, and he could not even be called murder. However, Liu Chengju simply told this story to Zhu Zhixi and easily gained this ally.

"I am very pleased that Liu Qing Mu Yi is coming back, but the current situation is not beneficial to the court. I want to hear Liu Qing's opinion."

"I should know everything I can say."

"very good."

Shunzhi nodded, and his attention was all focused on Liu Cheng. The next second, he heard him ask: "Liu Qing is from the command of Chen Ni, Zhejiang bandit, and he should have a good understanding of the inside story. Then let me tell me about the inside story of the Zhejiang bandit."

"There are my husbands who follow the order."

After Liu Cheng gave his rituals, the language had already been organized, and then he said to Shunzhi: "Zhejiang bandit Chen Wen called himself Yu Ding of the Right Guard in Tianjin, and his ancestors were hereditary 100 households. In the fourth year of Yongli, Chen Wen climbed Dalan Mountain to seek to meet Wang Yi, the pseudo-Zhejiang governor..."

From Chen Wen going to Dalan Mountain and accepting the appointment to the absence of the Battle of Siming Lake and the victory of the Battle of Siming Mountain, with the victory of the sneak attack on Jinhua, Chen Wen obtained the first base, thus expanding little by little to this day, and has become a major force with the right to determine the fate of the world.

Shunzhi had read these things very early in the report of Wang Sheng and Chen Jin, but the details were far less detailed than Liu Cheng knew. However, the details, such as Chen Wenzhi's army emphasized military law, Chen Wen's military merits and method of teaching fields, and Chen Wen used all wisdom to improve the combat plan, thus realizing what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that more calculations are better than less calculations. These are very worthy of considerations, which made Shunzhi suddenly realize that there was indeed a gap between the Eight Banners Army and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army, and these gaps were not as simple as the powerful said that the Ming army had a high armor rate and advanced weapons and armor.

"With Liu Aiqing's opinion, what is the reason for Zhejiang bandits to grow bigger?"

From Liu Qing to Liu Aiqing, Liu Cheng knew that he had already succeeded half, but the remaining half was even more critical. Taking a deep breath, Liu Cheng told Shunzhi the words he had prepared long ago.

"Report to your Majesty, in the humble opinion, the reason why Zhejiang bandits were able to repeatedly defeat the King's Division in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is that according to Chen Wen's training method, combined with the Yuanyang Formation and the Long Spear Formation, the Zhejiang bandit's infantry combat effectiveness is no less than that of the Eight Banners. The Green Camp is completely going to die when fighting against it. But the real key is that the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the water nets are horizontal and horizontal, which is not conducive to the King's Division's combat effectiveness, but it is more beneficial to Zhejiang bandits. Zhejiang bandits have always confronted the King's Division with a good geographical location, so it is not difficult to understand that the King's Division's invincibility is."

Shunzhi naturally understood these things, the right place, and the harmonious people. Liu Cheng only said that the right place was good, but Shunzhi was very clear. The Qing Dynasty shaved her hair and changed clothes, massacred and robbed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the government imposed heavy taxes, and the harmony of the people was not in the Qing Dynasty but in the Ming Dynasty. As for the time of the heaven, whether it was Liu Cheng's narration of Chen Wen's history of his fortune or the memorials he had read over the years, Chen Wen seemed to have an innate sense of smell of changes in the world situation and was extremely sensitive. Not to mention anything else, during the Battle of Zhoushan, he led his troops to attack the empty Jinhua Mansion, thus using the descendants of the Qi family army to obtain the first pot of gold.

Such a strategic vision is really incredible. With the advantages of the local area and the public grievances of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, all three are on Chen Wen's side, so how can it be invincible?

"I see."

"In addition, Zhejiang bandits are good at using Western France. The hydraulic workshop outside Jinhua City is operating day and night. The army fought two battles this year in Prince An and Prince Zheng. Infants were wearing heavy armor and were almost invulnerable to swords and guns. Even the musketeers and cavalry all had their own armor. The number of armor in the entire army was no less than 30,000 to 40,000, from helmets to face armor to iron gloves and iron boots, it was all available. Previously, thousands of sets of pirates were sold. When the pirates marched into Nanjing, the armor and weapons used by the Iron Man Army were all from the hands of Zhejiang bandits, and even many artillery and muskets in the pirate army were like this."

Such production capacity was incomparable to the Qing Dynasty, which had the north and south capitals at that time. What's more, Nanjing has fallen into the hands of Chen Wen, and has lost a large number of craftsmen and large pieces of raw materials. This gap will only grow bigger and bigger as time goes by. To put it bluntly, Chen Wen can bury the Eight Banners Army with just using armor, and it is not so easy for the Qing Dynasty to turn the tables.

"Then are there any weaknesses in the Zhejiang bandits?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the strength of Zhejiang bandits is rare at the time. However, their weaknesses are also quite large."

If he wanted to catch up with Chen Wen, Shunzhi would not have any idea for the time being, but now he can only rely on Chen Wen's weaknesses. Liu Cheng's positive answer gave Shunzhi hope. No matter how big the gap between the two sides was, as long as there were weaknesses, it would be easy to use it. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty would not have been able to become stronger step by step under the circumstances surrounding the strong enemy in Liaodong.

"In the humble opinion, first of all, in terms of military affairs, Zhejiang bandits originated in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and had no horse-producing land, and cavalry was weak. When the north was in the north, the result was imagined; secondly, Zhejiang bandits measured the land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and attacked the private occupation of the military camps and salt fields of the gentry. They were not in harmony with the literati, and sooner or later, the internal changes occurred; again, Zhejiang bandits are now in great power, which is not good for the Qing Dynasty, but they are even more thorny in their eyes, especially the Western bandit Sun Kewang. The two had a deep conflict and would sooner or later a battle; in the end, Chen Wen was afraid of only one girl under his knees but did not dare to take a concubine. Once the person died, the Zhejiang bandits would collapse!"

As Liu Cheng put it out one by one, Shunzhi's eyes became increasingly hopeful, but at this moment, Liu Cheng changed his mind and poured another basin of cold water on Shunzhi.

"These problems are not completely unsolvable for the Zhejiang bandits. In recent years, just seizures, there will be no less than 20,000 or 30,000 horses in the Zhejiang bandits' army. If they complete the integration of the south of the Yangtze River, although the number of horses will not be as large as the Qing Dynasty, the scale of cavalry during the Ming Taizu's northern expedition could emerge today. Cooperating with its infantry that became stronger and stronger and the navy division second only to the pirates, the superior cavalry was not without the power to fight."

"Although the gentry is dissatisfied, most of the more tough-minded people are dead. The rest will cause trouble to the Zhejiang bandits, but they may not really dare to raise an army to fight against them. The failure of Huang Zongxi of Yuyao is an example."

Huang Zongxi restarted Dalan Mountain and copied Chen Wen's tactics, but the Qing army was hung up and beaten. However, when the Qing army that beat Huang Zongxi met Chen Wen again, they were no match. With such a comparison, the high and inferiority were determined. What's more, the relationship between the gentry in Jiangnan and Chen Wen is unprecedentedly good. Liu Cheng knew very well that this was the blessing of Jiergalang and Ma Guozhu. The Ma family is now his ally, so there is no need to say it.

"Although other bandits are wary of the great power of Zhejiang bandits, they are still a mess after all. The pseudo-Emperor Yongli is now a puppet in the hands of the Western bandit Sun Kewang, and there are conflicts between the families. It is very difficult to unite against the Zhejiang bandits. As for the offspring, I heard that Chen Ni's wife is a son, but I don't know if this is true."

As time goes by, Chen Wen's advantages will become bigger and bigger, but his weaknesses will be defeated one by one. This is not the biggest bad thing for the Qing Dynasty, but it is not much different. However, it is precisely these, which are exactly what the Qing Dynasty needs Liu Cheng, and he can be said to be an absolute treasure for the Qing Dynasty today.

"I am really enlightened when my dear words. So how should I solve them in my dear views?"

From Liu Aiqing to Aiqing, Liu Cheng knew that his weight in Shunzhi's heart was getting bigger and bigger. Now that he had talked about the advantages and disadvantages of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the real key is the real key.

"In the humble opinion, if you want to defeat the Zhejiang bandits, you must first have infantry that is not inferior, whether in quantity or quality, train troops according to Chen Wen's method and cooperate with the cavalry advantages of the Qing Dynasty; secondly, weapons and armor need to keep up, even if you cannot catch up with the overall number for a while, you must ensure the core force; finally, Zhejiang bandits use the defense of the barbarians and the military merits to encourage morale, and the latter can also be done by the Qing Dynasty, but the former is the former..."

"Your dear, you are not guilty."
