Hunan and Changsha, governors' yamen stationed in the five provinces, burned incense in the pure land, and officials from all over the world gathered in the lobby to welcome the imperial edict.
"The thieves in Guangdong collapsed and the place gradually calmed down. When they went to Liaolong, Hunan, they should serve as the two kings and the governor. Jiangxi was close to Hunan. When the matter of officials' transfer was applied, the remaining thieves in Yuanzhou and Ji'an were not cleared, they should be punished and suppressed the imperial court. The assistant minister Hong Chengchou was also responsible for the imperial seal. The imperial seal was exchanged for the imperial seal. The governor, the general, and the following command were controlled by the commander and the following command were controlled by the commander, the following commander was controlled by the commander, the following commander, the following commander, the following commander, the following commander, the following commander, the following commander, the following commander, the following commander, the following commander, the following commander, the following military officials were under the fifth rank, and the following military officers and deputy generals violated their orders and followed the military law. If they were to be punished and suppressed, they would not follow the order, and then there was a complaint...
I also heard that the two generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty had an internal conflict, and they were good at using the ministers and ministers to make good use of them, so that Yunnan and Guizhou would come and return. The officials and citizens were afraid of the virtue of the emperor, so that I would like to prostitute my culture and education. On the day of success, I would be rewarded with the title. I will wait for the place to decide that someone in the aftermath will be ordered to return to the court to comfort my family."
After reading the decree, the officials of the Third House who came to announce the decree respectfully stepped forward and handed over the decree to Hong Chengchou.
"My minister Hong Chengchou received the order, long live my emperor!"
Hong Chengchou, the governor of five provinces over 60 years old, took the imperial edict and slowly stood up after three kowtows. He smiled at Chen Wenzhong, an official from the Third House who came to announce the edict: "Mr. Chen has come from thousands of miles away, and he has been exhausted. Please rest for a few days before returning. I still have a reply to submit it."
Chen Wenzhong hurriedly said: "The Supervisor's reply is to submit his memorials. When the officials come here, the court will also take care of them. You should stay for a few more days."
Hong Chengchou nodded slightly, knowing that in addition to promulgating the imperial edict, Chen Wenzhong must have been ordered by the capital to investigate the military affairs. Therefore, he did not say much to him, so he raised his hand and asked someone to lead Chen Wenzhong to rest. After waiting for the others, he sat down and looked at the imperial edict in his hand and was a little dazed.
In addition to Hong Chengchou, there were more than 20 civil and military officials in the hall. Looking at the robes and clothes alone, most of them were military generals. There were only a few civil officials, including Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, Guo Yuanruo, the governor of Changsha, and Guo Yuanruo, the governor of Changsha. The rest of them were military generals.
"The Lord, the emperor's decree is a bit confused."
The person speaking was Li Benshen, the general of the Han army, who was recently placed under the control of Hong Chengchou. This person was originally a general of Gao Jie. After Gao Jie died, he surrendered to Prince Yu Duoduo. He was appointed as a third-class Jingqinihafan. He is now the general of the Han army, Zhenghuang. Jiezhen is stationed in Yongzhou. He is under his command from Zhili and Xuanda, with more than 12,000 soldiers. Li Benshen was ordered from Yongzhou to Changsha to participate in the military convention for three days.
"oh?"
Hong Chengchou looked up at Li Benshen and said with interest: "What's the confusion about Mr. Li?"
"Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo turned against each other. This is the opportunity for our army to advance. Why did the Holy Spirit want to supervise the government and wait and see without mentioning progress?"
After Li Benshen finished speaking, he looked at Wang Fuchen, Liu Fangming, Gao Di and others beside him. These people were obviously confused and looked at Hong Chengchou in confusion.
Hong Chengchou did not answer, but asked Li Benshen, "In your opinion, who is better than the king of the country or the king of Xining in Li Dingguo?"
"this..."
Li Benshen was stunned. He didn't know why Hong Chengchou asked this, but he didn't think much about it and said, "I really want to rebel against the Qin King Sun Kewang."
Sun Kewang was appointed King of Qin and was the communist ruler of the Daxi Army. The Yongli court was actually controlled by him. Although Li Dingguo was the adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong like Sun Kewang, his reputation and strength were far inferior to Sun Kewang, and his territory was even more powerful than Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and Sichuan. It was much larger than the Guangxi department occupied by Li Dingguo's isolated army, and he also had generals such as Liu Wenxiu, Bai Wenxuan, and Feng Shuangli. Therefore, in terms of strength alone, Li Benshen naturally leaned towards Sun Kewang to be stronger.
Li Benshen's opinion was obviously in line with the generals' views on the situation in the Southern Ming Dynasty. Only Bai Guangen, the replacement official under the Han Army's Inner Huang, smiled and said disapprovingly: "Sun Kewang is strong, but I am afraid he will not be much stronger than Li Dingguo. According to me, Sun Kewang's ability to fight is not as good as Li Dingguo."
Bai Guangen, like Li Benshen, was also from a peasant army. Later, he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and participated in the Songshan War. After the Songshan War, he replied to Shaanxi to deal with the bandits from Sun Chuanting. Later, he surrendered to Li Zicheng and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Because his troops had long been completely destroyed, he was quite famous in Li Zicheng's Dashun Army and knew many generals of the Dashun Army. Therefore, after Hong Chengchou became the governor of the five provinces, he asked the Qing court for this person so that he could deal with the remaining troops of the Dashun Army to implement his strategy of recruiting and responsiveness.
As soon as Bai Guangen finished speaking, a chubby general next to him shook his head and said, "This is not necessarily the case. If Li Dingguo really wants to fight, why did he lose two consecutive games in Guangdong?"
The chubby general was named Wang Fuchen, a native of Datong, Shanxi Province, nicknamed "Ma Yaozi in the West Road". He was originally named Li. In his early years, he followed his brother-in-law Liu to join the peasant army. He was addicted to gambling and spent a lot of money. Later, he became an adopted son with Wang Jinchao and changed his surname to Wang. He followed the governor of Datong, Jiang Yan, and later surrendered to Prince Ying, Ajige, and was exempted from being executed. He was in Xinzheku as a slave. After Dorgon's death, Wang Fuchen became a new official after being recommended by Hong Chengchou. He is now the general of the Green Camp under the governor of the five provinces, and is one of Hong Chengchou's direct generals. It is said that Wang Fuchen has a close relationship with the Western Bo Wu Sangui. He has 8,000 soldiers under his command, and the Jiezhen stationed in Changde.
Seeing that it was Wang Fuchen, the favorite general of the governor, who refuted him, and Li Dingguo had indeed suffered two consecutive defeats in Guangdong, Bai Guangen laughed dryly and said nothing.
Hong Chengchou ignored Bai Guangen's dry laughter, but glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice: "Li Dingguo is a general of the tiger. This person is quite capable of fighting. As the saying goes, success is Xiao He and failure is Xiao He. It is because this person is too capable of fighting, so Sun Kewang cannot tolerate him. He is so powerful that he shocked the master..."
Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang who had never made any noise, listened to this and agreed: "What the governor said was exactly what the lower officials thought. Sun Kewang could not tolerate Li Dingguo's repeated contributions, so he had an internal conflict with him. However, the two tigers would have to suffer one injury. This time, Sun and Li faced each other with each other, which was God's help to me in the Qing Dynasty!"
Hong Chengchou nodded happily, put on his beard, raised his eyebrows, and said to the generals: "You guys say, who will be injured in this internal strife?"
Li Benshen said without thinking: "In terms of strength alone, it is mostly Li Dingguo who is injured."
Wang Fuchen had a different opinion when he heard this, but he thought that the Governor’s question would not be so simple. He must have a deeper meaning, so he had no words.
Zhang Changgeng and others thought for a while, but they all thought that Sun Kewang was stronger than Li Dingguo. Therefore, this time, Sun and Li were in conflict, and most of the people who were injured were Li Dingguo.
Liu Zhong, the former general of Dashun Ping Nanbo, is a general under the Han army Zhenghuang. After hearing this for so long, he finally couldn't help saying: "Since the two tigers are fighting each other, why don't our army take the opportunity to go south and reap the benefits of the fisherman?"
Li Benshen also looked at Hong Chengchou in confusion: "The Supervisor, the two thieves of Sun and Li are fighting in an internal conflict. At this time, there is an opportunity to advance, but I don't know why we just wait and see. If we lose the opportunity, wouldn't we regret it?"
Zhang Changgeng, Gao Di and others were also moved when they heard this.
Hong Chengchou smiled slightly: "This is the emperor's eyes are so far away. I can't wait. Do you think our army will kill us while the two tigers are fighting, or if they are killed and injured. Which of these two is more in line with the interests of our Qing Dynasty?"
Zhang Changgeng suddenly realized when he heard this: "The two tigers fight each other. If I advance rashly, the two tigers will definitely stop and deal with our army together. It is not advisable to advance at this time. Well, since Sun and Li are in internal conflicts, they will definitely not die. They must decide the outcome. No matter whether Sun Kewang wins or Li Dingguo wins, one side will eventually be defeated. At that time, our army will advance in large numbers by taking advantage of his death and injury. It is the best time to collect more than one hundred yuan and reduce the losses of soldiers. The emperor really looks longer than us!"
"Although the emperor is young, he has a long vision, and I am really ashamed of myself." Hong Chengchou also looked admirable.
"The emperor is wise!"
