Chapter 273: Soaring along the river!Located in Huainan Province

When several people came to their senses, Anlu Governor Zheng Eryang was the first to object.

"Could Uncle Ning Nan be joking? The 20-strong army dare not fight against the bandits, but they want to retreat to Nandu? Do you want to fight against the bandits in Nandu, or do you have evil intentions?!"

Zuo Liangyu's slightly pale face suddenly turned cold and said: "Zheng Futai, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. You might encounter water bandits on the way back to Anqing."

Hearing this, Zheng Eryang became even more angry, pointed at Zuo Liangyu and said, "How dare you threaten this hospital?"

Zuo Liangyu was too lazy to explain.

The servant in the tent held the handle of the knife and stared at Zheng Eryang with a fierce look, as if he was going to kill someone on the spot.

Ma Shiying was busy trying to smooth things over, "Governor Zheng is overthinking it. Ning Nanbo is just reminding you to be careful on the road. Now, unlike in previous years, there are indeed many bandits and water bandits. The court has to rely on Ning Nanbo and other generals to keep the place safe." "

Zheng Eryang heard that Ma Shiying was reminding him that today was different from the past and he could not push Zuo Liangyu into a hurry.

Zheng Eryang felt a little scared when he thought about being in Zuo Liangyu's camp, and immediately turned cold and said no more.

Ma Shiying said to Zuo Liangyu again: "Uncle Ning Nan, it is not something we can decide on the retreat of 20 troops to Nanjing. We have to ask His Majesty for instructions and get the order."

Zuo Liangyu frowned, "The bandits have gathered a large army in Qizhou and may move eastward at any time. How can I wait for the imperial decree?"
I hope that some of you will inform the Nanjing War Department first and give me a transfer order, so that I can restrain all the ministries.

Otherwise, each department will go to Yingtian Mansion on its own, and it will be out of my control. It is hard to say what they will do. "

Ma Shiying didn't know what to say.

He couldn't tell that Zuo Liangyu was threatening them with the safety of the army and Nanjing.

But they just couldn't help it.

Hou Xun sighed at this time and said: "Kunshan, we will tell the Ministry of History and War as soon as possible about the transfer order you want. Before the transfer order is sent, I hope you will try your best to restrain the soldiers and not do anything irreversible."

After finishing speaking, he took the lead and left the big tent.

Ma Shiying and the other three also left - they were afraid that Zuo Liangyu would leave behind if they left too late.

Zuo Liangyu's disobedience was clearly revealed. At this time, he was afraid that he would do anything.

within the tent.

Zuo Liangyu coughed a few more times and said, "Go and call the Major General over."

A servant left.

Zuo Mengeng came over quickly.

He was handsome but his steps were sloppy and he still smelled of alcohol.

Zuo Liangyu frowned as soon as he saw it and scolded: "I told you to have more contact with soldiers and generals on weekdays, but you indulge in drinking and sex. How can you control the arrogant and powerful generals below me in the future?!"

Zuo Mengeng said with a smile, "Dad, I have been having banquets every day just to make friends with those generals. Nowadays, many generals call me brothers."

"Your fair-weather friends are unreliable!"

Zuo Mengeng was afraid of angering Zuo Liangyu, so he curled his lips and did not refute.

Zuo Liangyu suppressed his anger and said business, "Go and ask the various departments of the Chinese army to clean up. We will break camp in the next two days."

Zuo Mengeng didn't ask any more questions, said "yes" and went to do it.

···
The fifth day of the second lunar month in the 15th year of Chongzhen.

The Tai army marched eastward in a large scale, and within half a day the forwards even defeated the passes set up by the Ming army on the Yangtze River such as Wujiaxue Town (Wuxue Town) and Chengzikou Town.

All members of Zuo Liangyu's army fled upon hearing the news, and no one dared to resist.

As for Zuo Liangyu's tens of thousands of troops, they set off eastward one day earlier.

Most of Zuo Liangyu's army fled eastward along the river, but a small number of troops had no choice but to flee deep into Jiujiang and Anqing due to insufficient ships.After Liu Sheng divided his troops in Jiujiang Prefecture as planned, he led the main army to chase Zuo Liangyu's defeated troops and Ma Dong.

Within a few days, the cities of Pengze, Wangjiang, Dongliu, Jiande, Huaining and Guichi were captured.

The other two groups of soldiers and horses are also overwhelming.

On February [-], Yang Heqing captured Tongcheng and captured Zheng Eryang, the governor of Anlu in the Ming Dynasty. The Yi army took full control of Anqing Mansion.

Huang Gan and Shi Jinhui headed south by water and land, and captured Jiujiang Prefecture and Nankang Prefecture in a few days.

On February 3, Huang Gan defeated more than [-] Jiangxi Ming troops in Changyi and captured Jiangxi governor Xu Shiyin.

At this point, Nanchang Prefecture and the surrounding Ruizhou and Raozhou were no longer able to fight the Ming army, and the three prefectures opened their doors to the Yi army...

Guichi.

Liu Sheng did not live in the camp, but on a warship with a distance of [-] stones from the port.

After dinner, Liu Sheng visited various camps and then returned to handle military and political affairs.

This time the Yi army attacked the city very quickly, and many places were under temporary military control. After the city was captured, most of them only had one battalion left to defend the city and maintain order.Only in prefectures like Huaining and Guichi, or in military important places like Huakou and Dongliu, would one or two extra battalions of soldiers and horses be left.

Under military control, civil affairs will be simplified. Most things can be handled according to the existing examples of the Ministry of Health, but there are always some big, important or special matters that will be reported to Liu Sheng and handled by him.

These cities originally had normal social order, but if military control lasts a little longer, various problems will arise, and it is by no means a long-term solution.

Therefore, after Liu Sheng prepared to capture Nanjing, he set out to consolidate the territory he had captured.

After processing the last pile of letters, Liu Sheng looked at the map and pondered for a while, then said, "Mr. Zhang, do you think Southern Zhili is too big?"

Zhang Kuang was also helping with military affairs, but he had already finished handling them and was actually reading a book.

Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Nan Zhili is naturally big - Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, made Nanjing the capital when he founded the country. He wanted to strengthen the weak branches, so he assigned all the land of officials to Nan Zhili.

From the Ming Dynasty to the Hongzhi period, it was felt that Southern Zhili was too big to manage, so it was divided into several governors.Such as the governor of Anlu, the governor of Huaiyang, the governor of Susong, the governor of Jiangnan, etc. "

"If I want to split Southern Zhili into two provinces, how do you think it should be split?"

After hearing this, Zhang Kuang asked, "Will the king make Nanjing his capital in the future?"

Liu Sheng nodded, "That's what I meant."

The capital in Liu Sheng's heart was either Beijing or Nanjing. Considering that he would have to compete with Western countries for ocean hegemony in the next two to three hundred years, Liu Sheng still preferred to build his capital in Nanjing.

As for Beijing, it can be set as the companion capital.

Zhang Kuang came to the map and began to think deeply, obviously he couldn't think clearly at the moment.

Liu Sheng simply expressed his thoughts first, "I plan to split Fengyang Prefecture into Yingzhou Prefecture and Sizhou Prefecture, plus Xuzhou, Huai'an, Luzhou, Anqing, and Chizhou, and the seven prefectures will be combined into Huainan Province. , the provincial government will be located in Hefei."

Zhang Kuang said: "Is the area under the jurisdiction of the Southern Zhili Province too small? It is not unreasonable for Ming Taizu to strengthen the weak branches."

Liu Sheng smiled and said: "What is left in Southern Zhili is a prosperous place, not too small. In addition, I am also planning to transfer Jiaxing Prefecture from Zhejiang to Southern Zhili, and then transfer Jianchang Prefecture in Jiangxi to Zhejiang. "

Zhang Kuang nodded slightly and looked at the map thoughtfully.

At this time, the guards sent word that Li Weiqi asked to see him.

Liu Sheng knew that Li Wei must have received some important information when he came here during the seventh night.

Sure enough, Li Weiqi came in and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xianzhong's troops crossed the river at Dangtu in the afternoon and encountered Zuo Liangyu's troops and had a battle."

After speaking, he handed the translated information to the guard.

　Second more.

　　Good night~
