The news that the Ming army defeated Wu Sangui and recovered Guangdong and Guangxi reached the capital, and the Qing court was panicked.

As the current Qing court's minister and actual ruler, Xiaozhuang was in a very heavy mood.

Although Wu Sangui's old dog was a little more sinister and ruthless, it could play a role in restraining the Ming army after all.

As long as Wu Sangui still controls the southwest, he can act as a deterrent to Yongli.

If Yongli dared not act rashly, the pressure on the Qing army would be much less.

Now that Wu Sangui's hidden danger has been solved, Yongli can naturally free up his hands to attack the Qing Dynasty without any scruples.

Today, Xiaozhuang really has no foundation for the combat power of the Qing army.

If the two sides really fight, the Qing army is likely to be a fragile defeat.

But now the Qing army can't retreat any longer.

Throwing away Xiaozhuang in Jiangnan can also comfort yourself that the north is still under control. But if even the north cannot defend, would the Qing army withdraw from outside Shanhaiguan to drink the northwest wind?

Liaodong is a bitter and cold place. The Eight Banners were able to stay in Liaodong back then because they had never felt the flower world of the Central Plains.

But once you experience these tempting things, it is impossible to return to poverty.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

This sentence makes sense.

In order not to be rushed to Liaodong to drink the northwest wind, Xiaozhuang had to bite the bullet and hold on, even if it was difficult, he had to grit his teeth.

It is gratifying that the last time she hit Sony and Ebilon, they still worked very hard.

Not only the officials in the capital and merchants "donated silver and grain", but even officials and merchants from other places also joined in.

Among them, Shanxi merchants played a very critical role. The eight major merchants alone donated a full 2 ​​million taels of silver.

This was life-saving money for the Qing court.

You should know that the canal is now blocked by the Ming army and Jiangnan has lost all taxes. Xiaozhuang must tighten his belt and live a life, hoping to break a silver coin in half.

If the money donated by Shanxi merchants was not the case, it would probably collapse directly.

With this money, you can at least have a life of life.

Of course, it is not enough to have money and food alone. Now we must ensure the combat effectiveness and combat of the army.

Otherwise, if what was said before the war was good, he would be defeated in one fight, who would have to withstand this?

Xiaozhuang specially called all the banner owners of the Eight Banners and assigned them tasks.

Everyone has their own defense zone and is responsible for their own defense zone.

What Xiaozhuang values ​​most is naturally Jinggi.

However, in order to ensure the safety of the Gyeonggi area, we must ensure sufficient buffering and at least the safety of Henan and Shandong.

In other words, you must push the defense line outward, and you cannot blindly defend the capital.

The past is vivid in my mind, and Xiaozhuang does not want to repeat the same mistakes.

The war was about to come, and the government and the people became nervous for a while.

Xiaozhuang thinks this is a good thing. It is better to be tight now than to fight.

She specially issued an order to recruit soldiers in the north again, and all males over fifteen years old must be enlisted in the army.

Even if it is the only seedling in the family, there are no brothers and sisters.

Such an order seems inhumane, but in fact, Xiaozhuang has no good idea.

After all, the Green Camp soldiers in the North have suffered severe losses in many wars, and now they seem a little short of money.

Relying on the Eight Banners Army alone can't stand it. After all, the Eight Banners are more than 100,000 people.

Now the number of soldiers in the Ming army exceeds 300,000, or even 500,000.

Even if there are exaggerated elements, it is quite scary.

Xiaozhuang didn't know whether he could defend the Qing Dynasty. He could only say that he could do his best and leave his destiny.

...

...

The situation in Shandong is not optimistic either.

Although Suksaha used cruel means to suppress many rebel troops.

But anti-Qing people from all over the country still emerged like mushrooms after a rain.

Just after pressing this, the one over there appeared again.

It's really a headache.

Suksah can only suppress it with more severe laws.

Once the uprisinger is caught, the first culprit Lingchi and all the accomplices are executed.

Even family members will be implicated.

Severe punishments and laws can play a deterrent role to a considerable extent, but they cannot be completely prohibited.

Because the scene in the south of the Yangtze River has already allowed the people of the north to see the dawn.

They are unwilling to be slaves to others. They have to stand up and control their destiny.

However, Suksaha recognized one thing, that is, the importance of coastal defense.

The existence of Denglai is not only a sea outlet, but also a role in blocking the route to Tianjin and even Liaodong.

However, most of the shipbuilders were taken away by Yu Qi, so it was not easy to find a group of suitable shipbuilders.

Suksaha could only look for craftsmen everywhere and give higher monthly money to attract.

But there are very few people who come to apply for the recruitment. Perhaps it is because they are afraid of being accomplices of the tiger and helping the evil, they are stung by their relatives in the village behind their backs.

It took Suksaha several months to build more than a dozen ships and barely gathered together.

Even with the dozens of original ships, there are less than a hundred ships.

This ship is not enough to fight Zheng Chenggong's invincible navy.

I can only say that I can stabilize the defense first.

What also gave Suksaha a headache was the Kong family's attitude.

Although the Kong family only has influence on public opinion, there is no soldier or half soldier in their hands.

But once you make a statement, it will immediately have a huge impact on scholars and even the entire Shilin circle.

In the past, the Kong family was very obedient to the Qing court, but that was because the Qing army was powerful and the sword was put on the neck.

The Kong family was afraid of death and had to choose to surrender.

But now the Ming army is rekindled and has taken down Jiangnan.

The possibility of the two sides being divided into rivers and ruled was not high, and the Ming army would definitely go to the north.

It is hard to say whether the Kong family will turn against each other in this case.

Suksaha must make plans. Once the Kong family turns against each other, the pressure will be huge.

We must use both soft and hard to the Kong family, and we cannot be forced or indulge ourselves.

If they are allowed to exert influence here, they may end up losing control.

Suksaha decided to invite all the Kong family to the banquet and take this opportunity to put the key figures under house arrest.

In this way, the Kong family naturally dared not speak nonsense when they were afraid of being afraid of the mouse.

It's so difficult, Suksaha really finds it very difficult.

He seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, and he seemed to be unable to control himself.

Today's Qing Dynasty is like an old house with a broken roof.

It would be fine if you didn’t encounter wind and rain, but once you encounter wind and rain, it would definitely be loopholes everywhere.

And Suksaha felt like a papermaker, exhausted and running around.

Go wherever there are loopholes.

I hope his efforts can help the Qing Dynasty hold on to the situation.

Now Suksaha does not ask the Qing Dynasty to unify the world but only wants to defend the northern half of the country.

Only in this way can the Eight Banners children ensure their prosperity and prosperity for generations, and everyone can eat hardcore crops.
