Nanjing, Ganqing Palace.

Zhu Cixuan read the good news sent from Dezhou, Shandong in one breath, and felt very happy.

Qin Gongming did not disappoint him. Not only did he defend Dezhou, he also killed 673 men of the Manchu Zhenglan Banner armored soldiers and 831 men of the Han army inlaid red flag armored soldiers.

Qin Gongming, the heads, had ordered all of them to be treated with lime and escorted to Nanjing by an army.

What excited Zhu Cilang not only was Qin Gongming winning a victory, but also broke the myth of invincibility of the Eight Banners Army.

Since the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army has suffered more defeats and fewer victory in the battle with the Eight Banners Army. Often, when the Ming army heard that the Eight Banners Army came, they would scatter and have no desire to fight.

In this case, a great victory can definitely play an inspiring role.

Of course, Zhu Cilang also knew that Qin Gongming was able to kill so many people this time because of the carelessness of the Qing court.

Dorgon must have believed that the troops in Shandong were empty and could be collected without any effort.

Under this situation, Dorgon would not send too much troops to collect Shandong. He probably thought that the city officials would open the city gate and kneel to greet him where the Eight Banners soldiers went.

But when the Eight Banners soldiers arrived in Dezhou, they found that the city gate was closed, and the commander would naturally be furious.

In this case, normal commanders will choose to attack the city. After all, Texas is an empty city in the information they received.

It was precisely because Qin Gongming took advantage of this that he attacked fiercely when the Qing army attacked the city, which consumed a lot of the Eight Banners' living power.

Reward, all these meritorious soldiers will be rewarded!

Just wait for the Qing army heads transported from Dezhou to be verified by the Ministry of War, Zhu Cilang will issue an order to reward Dezhou soldiers.

Qin Gongming had already become the general, so he could only find a way to find a way for the Lord.

Unlike the original history, the titles of Southern Ming have not yet spread. For example, the four towns in the original history have not been awarded titles. Zuo Liangyu also had only one Count of Ningnan, which was granted by Chongzhen, and was not promoted to marquis.

But there is a question in this way. Will the four towns and Zuo Liangyu feel dissatisfied after Qin Gongming was awarded the title?

It’s okay for Huang Degong and Gao Jie to say that these two people are still loyal to the Ming Dynasty after all, and even if they are dissatisfied, they are unlikely to change.

Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo are now sandwiched in Fengyang Mansion, and there is no other way out unless you surrender to Qing Dynasty.

What Zhu Cilang worried the most was Zuo Liangyu who led his troops to guard Huguang.

This man was very domineering during the Chongzhen Dynasty. By the end of Chongzhen, he had already listened to the throne but not the commander, and even Chongzhen could not command him.

The Jiashen Kingdom changed and the city of Beijing was broken, and the prestige of the court was greatly reduced, and Zuo Liangyu was even more unscrupulous.

Nowadays, only those who have soldiers in their hands are strong. However, Zuo Liangyu has more than 200,000 troops in his hands, occupying most of Huguang, just like the ancestral family in Liaozhen that year.

Such a warlord still occupies Huguang, a land of fish and rice. The food can be completely self-sufficient, so he naturally will not take the imperial court seriously.

Today, Zuo Liangyu is not so much a general of Huguang in the Ming Dynasty, but rather a local emperor. It is very similar to the Dashou of the Liao Zhenzu in that year. Zuo Liangyu neither surrendered to the Qing Dynasty nor was subject to the restraint of the Ming Dynasty. This model is the most beneficial to him.

Of course, Zuo Liangyu is at least a Mingchen in his face. If Zhu Cilang's behavior of conferring a title on Qin Gongming aroused him, it is very likely that this guy would turn against him immediately.

You should know that Zuo Liangyu has made crazy actions in history.

At that time, Li Zicheng was driven out of Guanzhong by the Qing Dynasty and fled to Huguang like a dog that was stranded.

Zuo Liangyu dared to confront Li Zicheng head-on. After hearing the news, he ordered his soldiers to wipe out Wuchang and attack Nanjing along the river.

Zuo Liangyu's banner was to clear the monarch, but in fact he wanted to occupy Nanjing. If he hadn't died of illness on the way, he might have really fought with the Hongguang court to the death.

Of course, the current situation is better than in history. At least Shanxi has not been completely criticized by the Qing Dynasty, and Shandong is also under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, what Zhu Cilang had to do was to stabilize Zuo Liangyu, just like he did to Zheng Zhilong.

No one knows better than Zhu Cilang. Zuo Liangyu only has ten months of life at most. Zhu Cilang can afford to wait. By then, Zuo Liangyu's death will be a great opportunity for the court to incorporate his subordinates.

Of course, Zhu Cilang had to use this period of time to make arrangements in advance to win over Zuo Liangyu's subordinates.

Although Zuo Liangyu has more than 200,000 people, most of them are independent camps.

For example, Jin Shenghuan's tribe. Such a powerful warlord is the object that Zhu Cilang wants to win over. As long as he makes great profits, he may not be able to differentiate his relationship with Zuo Liangyu.

Therefore, Zhu Cilang decided to order a secret decree to send someone to Huguang to hand it over to Du Yinxi.

Du Yinxi can be regarded as one of the few capable ministers in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

If it weren't for being cheated by He Tengjiao, his teammate, the situation in Huguang wouldn't be so bad that it was uncontrollable.

Now Du Yinxi is the deputy envoy of the Huguang Censorate, in charge of the military preparations for Wuchang, and works with Huguang Governor He Tengjiao to control Zuo Liangyu.

Of course, Zhu Cilang would not hand over such an important task of dividing Zuo Liangyu's tribe to He Tengjiao. He counted all the civil officials in Huguang, and the only one who could be competent for was Du Yinxi.

Zhu Cilang had high hopes for Du Yinxi, hoping that he could support the Ming Dynasty with Wen Anzhi and Lu Zhenfei. Of course, Lu had to walk step by step and eat rice at a bite. Zhu Cilang issued a secret order to Du Yinxi this time, which was the first step to reuse him.

After careful consideration, Zhu Cilang decided to award Qin Gongming the title while also awarding Zuo Liangyu the title. Gao Jie, Huang Degong and Zheng Zhilong were also awarded the title.

Among them, Qin Gongming was granted the title of Linyi Bo, Zuo Liangyu, Jinning Nanhou, Gao Jie was granted the title of Xingping Bo, Huang Degong was granted the title of Jing Nanbo, and Zheng Zhilong was granted the title of Nan'anbo.

As for Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, Zhu Cilang did not intend to be awarded title.

In this time and space, the two Lius had no decision-making skills and limited troops. They were trapped in Fengyang Mansion and could never cause any big waves.

Originally, the two surrendered to the Qing Dynasty because they not only had soldiers, but also had large areas of jurisdiction. When the Qing army headed south, the two offered the city and land. The Qing Dynasty no longer needed to spend any effort to fight, so they naturally treated the two with preferential treatment.

But the situation is completely different now. Although the two of them have a direct army in their hands, they cannot give up Fengyang Mansion.

After all, the Qing court did not even unify the north and had no energy to plot against the south.

At this time, Fengyang Prefecture was an enclave for the Qing court, and even if it was taken down, it could not be kept, and it was of no use.

If the second Liu did not have the bargaining chips to offer the city and land, he simply led his troops to the Qing Dynasty and would receive a very poor treatment and would be driven to be a pioneer to conquer the city and plunder the land.

In comparison, Er Liu naturally continued to stand under the banner of the Ming court.

Now the situation is a tangle that affects the whole body. Zhu Cilang must take every step carefully, and gains and losses of a single piece may affect the whole chess game.
