Win the Ding 1617

In the channel of the canal, a group of official ships were struggling against the night wind.The eight horn lanterns on the bow of the ship were swaying from side to side in the wind, and the official titles on them were made more and more unclear in flat Song typeface.However, the large and small ships moored in the canal are also old fritters who have traveled the rivers and lakes for a long time. Looking at the huge flag on the main mast, looking at the dozens of guards standing proudly at the bow and stern with their swords in their hands and their chests folded Knowing that the owner of this fleet is definitely not an idle person.Maybe, it is possible that the Eight Banners are close relatives, and Prince Baylor is also possible.When someone passed by the sideways of the ship, there were a few guards on the bow of the ship who had a glimpse of the Eight Banners Manchurian features, and they made such a judgment in their hearts.

Although it is not in the middle, it is not far away.The owner of the cabin of the largest official ship, although he is not the prince Baylor who is a relative of the Eight Banners in the court, is also a person with great power for a while.Hong Chengchou, Mr. Hong, was behind a desk and by the light in the cabin, on the canal between Nanzhili and Shandong, flipping through the manuscripts and letters from various places in the imperial residence.

However, Master Hong's eyes were on the newspapers among the pile of letters and official documents.

"Shuntian Times" was published in the capital when Emperor Chongzhen was alive. Although Li Zicheng's entry into Beijing and the great changes in the Ming, Shun and Qing dynasties, everyone's eyes are often on the power, officials, gold, silver, children, and wealth. On the Internet, a place where a family of "poor literati" gathers, but there are only some written books, with little oil and water, and it is not like the place where the Ministry of War is in charge of the world's mountains and rivers, so naturally no one pays attention to him.Therefore, the newspaper miraculously survived.Not only did it survive the most chaotic period, but after Shunzhi entered Beijing, it started to be published again.

Regarding this newspaper, a group of former Ming officials in the court wrote letters to the regent, "This is a remnant of the previous dynasty, dedicated to demagoguery. It is also the poison of the Li family of the Southern Barbarians. It must not be allowed to live in the capital. The ministers and other beggars It eliminates all evils!"

However, for Dorgon, a newspaper is nothing more than some boring literati writing and passing on some news.It's not a big deal with the court's residence newspaper.He also looked for it. In addition to some news about the current situation, there is also some information about commodity prices. The supplement is full of news about romantic places, which theater troupe has new plays, and which actors have added new ones. The outfit, and this new outfit is from the handwriting of some old Dou Enke, some girl in the team has picked up the brand and married someone to be a concubine, and there is something beautiful and beautiful in the yard under the banner of the shopkeeper Lin stunner.Also, in which garden does a certain technician have any unique skills, which girl can be called both beautiful and talented, and so on.There are so many, and so on.

"This kind of thing is also worthy of my order to ban it? A joke!" Dorgon gave such a sentence.In his opinion, this kind of thing has more or less.Even if there is any harm, it is still spread among Han scholars.You know, among the Eight Banners children, those who know Chinese characters and can use them proficiently are considered treasures.Otherwise, officers, generals and officials at all levels will not be equipped with a pen post style.The purpose is to use them to read and process official documents.

He handed over how to deal with the Sainty Times to Hong Chengchou, who was still in the capital at that time.

"The slave thinks that keeping this thing is better than shutting him down." Hong Chengchou replied.Mr. Hong's reason is that the news sources and speed of dissemination of newspapers are faster than official documents published by the imperial court. "In this way, the slaves can also learn about the current situation in the world and make plans for the master's decision early."

Hong Chengchou's reason deeply hit Dorgon's heart.For the same situation, it had been published in the newspaper for half a month before the imperial court's official report arrived on his desk.I really don't know how the slaves below do things.It is also an original creation of him and Hong Chengchou to understand the war ahead through the channel of Sainty Times.

With the acquiescence of the regent and Hong Chengchou, Sainty Times naturally lived in peace in the capital.However, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and others are also aware of their situation, so naturally they will not publish any prohibited or taboo words in the newspaper.

Today, Mr. Hong uses the channel of Sainty Times to learn about the latest developments of all parties, which can be regarded as tasting his own fruit.

But in the newspaper, although the words and sentences are very cryptic, there is no lack of words such as "transfer" and "rest", but how can this kind of cover-up deceive Hong Chengchou, who is a master in this field?

"The thieves from all over southern Sichuan, fearing the might of the heavenly soldiers, engulfed the good people in various prefectures, burned the fields and houses, and fled southward."

"General Oboi personally supervised and led the army to attack Fushun, and made another contribution to the Qing Dynasty!"

"Salt wells such as Ziliujing were burned and destroyed by bandit soldiers, which has a slight impact. The price of salt in central Sichuan has fluctuated slightly."

"Prince An ordered the army to chase down the bandits. The bandits burned, looted and killed a lot, and there was no one in the territory for more than a hundred miles. It was quite difficult for the soldiers to raise food and grass. They withdrew to Luzhou and other places in Shunqing for food."

"Fierce flames! On the road to Yunnan, the rebel Sun Kewang was blocked by the army led by the loyal chieftain. Frustrated, he slaughtered dozens of official villages in a fit of anger. The good people were slaughtered, and the scoundrels rushed to join the bandits. "

"Arrogance! The Western Thieves fled across the north of Yunnan with more than a thousand thieves, fleeing towards Kunming! Along the way, the chieftains were intercepted and killed, but these people are all old thieves, and their escape skills are first-class. According to rumors, they have fled to the ground in southern Yunnan !"

The important news reports in these newspapers were extracted by Hong Chengchou's copywriters and listed in front of him one by one.Cooperating with these transcripts, Mr. Hong looked for the place names involved in the report one by one according to the map under the oil lamp.

As a senior bureaucrat, he is too familiar with the hidden subtext behind these official Chinese articles.He can keenly peek at the terrible truth of bare makeup from under the thick powder.

"Alas!" Hong Chengchou sighed, he gradually grasped a terrible fact through layers of mist from these scattered, trivial and abnormal news.

"Sun Ke, the western thief, is expected to lead troops into Yunnan and Guizhou. This is obviously to imitate the story of trespassers and join Liang Guogong in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. I am afraid that they will use Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and the chieftains and officials of these two provinces, or even Guizhou provinces. The head of the Duke of the State came to vote for the certificate. In exchange for Duke Liang’s shelter and support for them. The team of more than a thousand people is probably the escort envoy who went to Hejing to wait for the Duke of Liang’s lair!"

"Hey! Li Shouhan, you are really good at it!" Looking at the notes he made, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but feel the cold sweat on his head, and the wind on the river gave him a headache.

"Replenish the soldiers and horses of the Western Camp with food, grass and firearms, and send coaches to train these hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Gradually, you will turn the bandits from the Western Camp into your Southern Cantonese Army, and let them fight with our Qing soldiers and horses in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. Alas! It's a pity that Prince An, Yue Le, although he was brave and courageous in battle, he lacked experience. He only saw the battle on the battlefield, but never saw the fighting skills outside the battlefield. I'm afraid that my soldiers and horses on the West Road of the Qing Dynasty will be here in Sichuan The area between Yunnan and Yunnan was trapped. From then on, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have changed from living soldiers to dull soldiers who stick to one place. Not only can they not contribute to our Qing Dynasty's killing of the enemy, but they have become a bottomless pit of food and wages!"

Looking at what he said on the map, the food shortage and no-man's land stretched for hundreds of miles across the southern Sichuan region. Most of the people here were mobilized by Sun Kewang's Great Western Army and went south into Yunnan to avoid the military disaster. war.

Li Zong announced to these people who went south, on behalf of Liang Guogong, that as long as you are willing to go south, I will be responsible for your rations along the way.Over the years, the common people have heard more or less the good life of Nanzhong. Although they are yearning for it, they can only stay in their imagination.For one thing, Chinese people always think that the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own grass nests in their thinking of relocating to the land.But those who can do something in their hometown are not willing to travel thousands of miles.Secondly, from southern Sichuan to Yunnan, and then to Nanzhong, how can we survive the thousands of miles of mountain roads?Not to mention the wolves, tigers, leopards, and bandits along the way, the rations on the road alone are enough to make people daunting.

Now, both of these problems have been solved for you.Tens of thousands of people are marching southward, guarded by soldiers and horses along the way, and there are people in charge of meals. Why not go on such a good day? !

As a result, what was left to Yue Le in the prosperous and affluent southern Sichuan were the ruins and the skeleton of the crane on the artesian well and the tribute well that were still emitting green smoke.

No one was farming, no one could collect money and food, and there was no salt to eat. The Qing army's tens of thousands of horses could only rely on the Chengdu Plain and the grain and grass transported from Shaanxi, Huguang and other places to survive.However, the food cannot be withdrawn yet, because once it is withdrawn, the entire Sichuan, and even the entire Qing army's western front war, will collapse immediately.

"Ah! I just found out today why the King of Zhao urged the Zhao army to make a quick decision during the Battle of Changping!" Combined with his own personal experience and looking at the battle in front of him, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but make such a judgment.Li Shouhanli has been around for a long time, he has plenty of food and military supplies, and he is not afraid of confronting and wasting the Qing army.But the Qing army may not be able to afford it!It may even be consumed to death!

"My lord! My lord!" Outside the cabin, someone knocked lightly on the hatch.

"Come in!" Following the bookboy came in was a pen post style, who was in charge of collecting and managing these letters, official documents, transcripts and other documents. "My lord, I just bought a new newspaper from several tank ships going south. Please take a look at it, my lord."

"Huh? They came from the south, how can there be newspapers that are newer than ours?" Hong Chengchou's eyelids couldn't help but twitched a few times.

The pen post style has already been prepared and has done its homework in advance.He replied in a quick and easy way: "Your Excellency, I don't know. When they went south, some people went to Tianjin. Although the business district of Tianjin Wei stopped, there were still sea ships from the south occasionally stopping to transport some goods from the south. Naturally, this newspaper also has some products.”

Hong Chengchou nodded, and waved his hand to signal that the pen post style could retire.On the surface, his face was normal, but his heart was like burning with oil. "Tianjin is only two hundred miles away from Beijing, and there are sea ships. Li Shouhan is very good at using the navy. Why didn't he send the navy to the north to surprise the capital? Besides, they are used to this sea route. of?"

Although it was a trip from Tianjin, most of the newspapers were the Shuntian Times published by Jingshi.If the people on those tank boats went to Tianjin, they just traded with a few bold smugglers and exchanged with them the private goods they brought from the south.Governor Hong naturally didn't bother to take care of such trivial matters.

As expected, the newspaper was only published in the past few days.The contents inside have only happened in the past half month.

"The Great General Conquering the South set out from Jinling to march eastward, and all parts of southern Jiangsu watched the wind and surrendered. The southern barbarians retreated one after another, and the officials and gentry from all over the place ate pots of pulp to welcome the king's army."

"Suzhou, Changzhou and other places were recovered one after another, and the army pointed directly at Songjiang."

"Songjiang Mansion, Jiading, Qingpu and other counties were restored after a short period of war. Li Huabao's troops in the Nanman were trapped in Shanghai County, Jinshanwei, Baoshan and other places, and behind them was the Eastern Sea! Fighting spirit, I just want to escape back to Nanzhong lair as soon as possible."

Not good!Governor Hong had dealt with the children of the Li family in Liaodong. He knew the temperament of these nieces and nephews very well, and he also knew the education style of the children of the Li family from other people.What's more, Li Shouhan's power is so powerful now, and he is almost the same as Cao Cao and Li Yuan back then, only one opportunity away from being able to rise to the next level.At this time, which one of his sons didn't try their best to make meritorious deeds and add luster to their father in front of the king.Li Huabao, as the first son and the eldest son at the moment, why did he give up dozens of cities, big and small? Could it be that he really has no fighting spirit and only wants to go south and return to his hometown to be a local emperor in his comfort zone? !

wrong!There must be a conspiracy here!

"Quick! Get the maps of Songjiang Mansion, Shanghai County, Shanghai Business District, etc.!"

After Duoduo entered Nanjing, Hong Chengchou also followed the example of Xiao He who entered Xianyang back then. Other generals of the Eight Banners relatives and nobles of the Qing army were busy collecting gold and silver, looking for women, collecting antiques, etc. Well, the specific behavior was nothing more than the reception by the government back then. At that time, the folks gave a summary of the scope of the "five sons admitted to the imperial examination" of houses, cars, tickets, notes, and bitches.Only he, Hong Chengchou, paid attention to collecting the classics, albums, maps and documents of the Hongguang court, and ordered people to sort them out by category, and transport them northward to the capital and hand them over to Yousi.Of course, during this process, it must be said that he did not copy a copy of the historical materials for himself and go home at the same time as Sima Gonggong did back then.In this process of collecting and organizing, he picked out some transcripts that he thought were useful, and that was a lie.

Maps of Jiangnan and Nanzhong, and biographical materials of the Li family and the generals of the Nanyue Army were found in the files of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households.Although it is not very detailed, many of them only have the names of the three generations of ancestors and any positions in a certain year and month, and what credits they have. However, this is almost twofold for Governor Hong and the entire Qing court. His eyes were darkened, and at least he had a little understanding.

The regent Dorgon ordered people to further sort out these archives and documents, edited them into volumes, and distributed them to the clan's relatives, banner owners, and generals at the level of Meilezhangjing.The title is "Southern Love".Well, it's similar to "The Compilation of Thieves' Love" about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.As the generals of the Eight Banners, understand the basic information of the Southern Guangdong Army.As for the green camp, including Pingxi Wang Wu Sangui, I'm sorry, maybe the people below were negligent and forgot about them.Anyway, Wu Sangui is Li Huamei's godson, and he knows the situation of the Southern Guangdong Army better than anyone else.

(Don’t worry that leaking secrets will cause internal conflicts such as rifts and disunity within the Qing army. You must know that before the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the soldiers of the Eight Banners used the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as an art of war. And they were often kept secret That kind. A novel can be kept secret to the point that it can only be shown to Han Chinese military officers with good relations on weekdays after getting drunk. Not to mention such an awesome collection of materials?)

Several Goshhas brought out dozens of volumes of maps of different sizes and lengths from the back cabin, and spread them out on the carpet in the cabin for Mr. Hong to guide thousands of troops on them.

"How is the situation in Hangzhou?" Unexpectedly, instead of asking about the military situation in the east, Hong Chengchou first asked about the war in Hangzhou on the western front.

"It's fairly stable."

According to the military newspaper, generals Bei Le Boluo and Erfu Turge led 10,000+ troops in Zhejiang Province, relying on the Qiantang River and the tens of thousands of former Dashun soldiers who killed them from the Zhejiang-Jiangxi border in the west. Started a fight between you and me.Although it is said that they have changed their banners now, the ones fighting on the Zhejiang battlefield are all old opponents.Former Ming Army and Former Peasant Army.The two sides know each other well, even if you shaved your hair and braided it, do you think I don't know you?After several rounds, more than [-] Qing troops were defeated by tens of thousands of Southern Guangdong troops.However, relying on the large number of people, relying on Wu Feiluan's powerful search in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, and the army's salary, food and grass, the Qing army has not yet shown signs of decline.However, it is impossible to relax a little bit, because from Jiangxi, Fujian and other places, there are continuous large groups of people entering Zhejiang.Relying on a few rivers, relying on the materials hoarded in Fujian for many years, there is no need to worry about supplies and food. They have just been reorganized from the Dashun Army to the various departments of the Southern Guangdong Army. Their morale is like a rainbow, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.Moreover, there are more than [-] people directly under Shi Lang's troops behind him, watching from the side like a tiger with sharpened claws and teeth. As long as Bo Luo's front line is slightly loosened, it may be a collapsed situation.

"What's the situation in Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture?" Master Hong was very surprised. After hearing the fighting between the Qing army and the Nanyue army on the Zhejiang battlefield, he was noncommittal.Just open your mouth and ask about the progress of the war in the Songjiang area on the Eastern Front.

A few pen posts and Geshha secretly speculated that it was probably because the general and the county king Luck Dehun personally led the troops on the east road, so Governor Hong had to pay attention to it, right? !

"There's no need to worry about Dong Lu. No matter how good Li Huamei can fight, she's still our defeat in Tashan! We're not afraid of her attacking, let alone they are defending now!"

A Ghoshha muttered a few words.
