In Changsha City, an inn.

Wang Jian was sitting in the lobby eating soup cakes.

Ma Sanhe sat on his side, eating and talking.

"The head family, Hubei has been occupied by the Tartars, and Hunan is not safe sooner or later. I want to settle my sister-in-law in Hangzhou."

"Can."

Wang Jian had no objection. He could see that Ma Sanhe loved this sister-in-law, and he had to go to Hangzhou anyway.

Seeing that the boss had no objection, Ma Sanhe started to eat in a big mouthful.

At this time, a person walked into the inn.

Wang Jian happened to see a young man who had just claimed to be Zhang Huangyan on the street.

"Oh, it's your priest again, it's really fate." Zhang Huangyan bowed and smiled.

Wang Jian didn't say anything, just nodded, and he was already alert. He didn't believe in any fate.

Zhang Huangyan was helpless when he saw this person ignore him. He really just wanted to find an inn to sleep.

I rushed all the way and finally entered Changsha City with Zhang Zhengchen.

The meaning of King Lu was that Zhang Zhengchen was in the open and he was in the secret, and he was in the two-pronged approach, and it was necessary to ensure that the remnants of the 300,000 Dashun Army were successfully taken back to the court.

I originally thought that Zhang Zhengchen, as an imperial envoy in the court, would have no big problem in handling this matter.

But it was not until after entering Huguang that he realized that King Lu had indeed foresawed it.

The water in Huguang is deep. Li Jin, Gao Yigong and other troops stationed in Tongcheng, had 100,000 troops, and Tian Jianxiu and Hao Yaoqi and other troops stationed in Pingjiang, Liuyang, had 200,000 troops.

Huguang Governor He Tengjiao has been pacifying before, but he has not made any noise yet, which is really unusual.

Although hasteness is not achieved, it cannot be delayed for too long. These 300,000 troops are like gunpowder barrels that may explode at any time. Once they are not handled properly, they will hurt the innocent.

Zhang Huangyan felt that he had to take time to meet Zhang Zhengchen.

The store arranged the room and Zhang Huangyan went up to the second floor.

Wang Jian silently picked up the bowl and licked the bottom of the bowl.

Ma Sanhe looked at Wang Jian in surprise, but he didn't realize that this boss was quite fond of food.

......

Changsha City, the once prosperous Prince Ji Mansion is in the city.

The palaces, towers, and the sunsets and willow banks are large in scale and occupy nearly half of the Changsha City.

At that time, people called it "Bancheng Royal Palace".

Now, the royal palace has been ruined. Before Zhang Xianzhong withdrew from Changsha, evacuated Huguang and entered Sichuan, he burned the Ji Prince's Mansion with a fire.

Why do swallows need to ask about painting beams? The tiles of the Forbidden City are scattered with mandarin ducks.

All the flowers on the pond in the spring are dead, and the stones on the three caves are stagnant.

No one plays the jade flute in Yongxiang, and there are Devil's Cry sachets in the short wall.

Many songs and dances received favors and lost to the battlefield with the Fox.

Dongcheng, Huguang Governor's Office.

On the main seat of the main hall, Zhang Zhengchen was slowly savoring hot tea.

Above the screen behind, there is a picture of the rising sun in the sea.

Two pots of evergreen pine trees are placed on the left and right in the hall.

Carved beams and painted roads are luxurious.

He Tengjiao took officials from Huguang to sit in the hall.

The wind blows gently on the face. The young Zhang Zhengchen faces so many old officials, and his face remains unchanged and his aura is full of aura.

"Mr. Zhang, these remnants of the rebellious army should be eliminated resolutely! They poisoned the Northern Capital and forced the killing of the late emperor. If the court surrendered them, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the world?"

Zhang Zhengchen just squinted his eyes and looked at the speaker. This person was Qu Shisi, the governor of Guangxi, whose courtesy name was Qitian.

He was originally appointed by the Hongguang court and was appointed as the governor of Guangxi as the right assistant censor. Unfortunately, Nanjing fell on the way to Guangxi.

When he arrived in Changsha, King Lu had already ruled the country, so he had to temporarily stay in Changsha and wait for the imperial decree.

During his time in Changsha, He Tengjiao always regarded him as a guest of honor.

Regarding the remnants of the Shun Army, Qu Shixi firmly opposed the surrender.

"What Governor Qu said is extremely true! Recruiting such a rebel brigade will damage the face of the court!"

One of the people in the seat, named Ding Shikui, was former Hongguang's former minister and now aide to Qu Shishi.

"The thief is an unfamiliar ungrateful wolf. After surrendering, he rebelled again. There are previous examples and should not be trusted."

The speaker is named Jinbao, whose courtesy name is Weigong, and he is also a staff member of Qu Shisi.

The two of them expressed their words to echo Qu Shisi's words.

He Tengjiao had no expression on his face, picked up the tea cup and drank the tea on his own, as if he had not heard what had just happened.

Zhang Zhengchen knew it in his heart. It seemed that the reason why the surrender had not been made has been due to the senior management of Huguang.

He Tengjiao was afraid that he had some resistance to the remnants of the Dashun Army.

Although Zhang Zhengchen can understand their resistance, there is nothing that remains unchanged in the world, and we should keep pace with the times when looking at things.

Li Zicheng is dead and Dashun is dead. Since these remnants of Dashun Army who have no leader have gone south, it means that they are unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, otherwise they would surrender directly to Ajige in Shaanxi.

At this time, what would happen if the court did not want to accept them?

To take a step back, the so-called two evils are the least.

Looking at Qu Shixi and others with a firm attitude, Zhang Zhengchen turned his attention to the former assistant Zhang Kuang who had not expressed his opinion and Du Yinxi, deputy envoy of the Censorate.

Seeing the inquiring eyes of the imperial envoy, Du Yinxi had to bite the bullet and speak.

"I reported to the Minister of State that the officials thought that the matter of recruiting and pacification should be carried out quickly. If the relocation is delayed for a long time, there will be a chance of change."

Du Yinxi was also in a dilemma. The governor He Tengjiao had the power to control the three departments, and all over Huguang followed his orders.

Regarding the matter of reprimanding, he had looked for He Tengjiao more than once, but he was all excused.

There were also Qu Shisi, Ding Shikui, Jinbao and others who firmly opposed it, and the resistance was not too great, and he, the deputy envoy, was really powerless.

"The minister agrees with Lord Du's suggestion. At present, we should unite all forces to fight against the Tartars. We personally think that this is not a damage to the court's face, but a new spirit!" Zhang Kuang, who was sitting next to Du Yinxi, bowed and said.

He and Du Yinxi have been trying to comfort the remnants of the Shun Army. If they hadn't been maintaining them, these two Shun Army would have already left.

Seeing that everyone had expressed their attitude, Zhang Zhengchen wanted to hear what He Tengjiao said.

"What platform is built, what do you think?"

"This governor is obeying the will of the court."

He Tengjiao is an old bastard and will never take over. He is afraid that if these people behind him will become sinners if they rebel again.

But if he doesn't surrender, he is envious of these thirty people.

You can say nothing, except for the old camp, these two units also have at least 100,000 soldiers to fight. The Shun Army, which can survive to this day, are basically veterans. With a little training, you can get tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

He Tengjiao was confused in his heart, but he had not expressed his attitude for a long time, which also led to disagreement among his subordinates and the matter was delayed.

Zhang Zhengchen couldn't help but curse "Old Fox".

"The court has ordered the pacification of the emperor long ago. Why did the Hetai not implement the rules according to the rules?" Zhang Zhengchen asked with a smile.

"The Qing army occupied Hubei, peeked at Hunan, and pointed at Jiangxi. In the war, I am really unable to tell my clones." He Tengjiao replied without any leakage.

Zhang Zhengchen nodded, and the seat was clearly divided.

"Report! Sir, it's not good. The Hao Yaoqi team of Shunjun is running towards Changsha City!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked, and He Tengjiao, Qu Shisi and others looked a little panicked.

Zhang Zhengchen noticed that Du Yinxi and Zhang Kuang lamented repeatedly, as if they had expected it.
