In Beijing, Jidu was dependent on Jidu for half a month, and after convening two meetings of the kings and ministers, Shunzhi decided to form a army south to Guangdong. It included more than 1,200 soldiers from the 3 Niulu in the Manzhou Yellow Banner, 9 Niulu in the Mongolian Red Banner, more than 4,900 soldiers from the 9 Niulu in the Han army, more than 5,800 soldiers from the 14 Niulu in the two white banners, and more than 4,000 soldiers from the Zhili Green Camp, and more than 3,000 soldiers from the Henan Green Camp, totaling more than 20,000 soldiers from the 14 Niulu in the two white banners of Han army, and more than 5,800 soldiers from the 14 Niulu in the Zhili Green Camp, and more than 3,000 soldiers from the Henan Green Camp, and a total of more than 20,000 people formed the army under the command of Jidu, the great general of Pingyuan.

After the army arrived in Guangdong, the Qing army of Wu Liuqi, Tang Sanshui and other departments all returned to Jidu for control. In addition to the local processing of the grain and grass in Guangdong, a department was allocated by Zhejiang and Nanzhili. For this reason, Shunzhi ordered the southeast to grant grain to be transferred to the capital without the need to be transferred to the capital, and left to the army to directly take it out after the army arrived in Jiangning. After the army left the capital, the supply of grain and grass was handled by the local areas along the way. Officials at all levels were not allowed to slacken. Those who violated the matter would be demoted at the least, and those who were beheaded at the worst.

The army of southbound troops was formed by the Eight Mongolian Banners and Han Banners. The Manchu soldiers only drew more than 3 Niulu from the Forward Battalion to move south. The Forward Battalion was built during the Tiancong period and was originally named Gebush Xianchaoha Camp. In the third year of Shunzhi, the battalion was drawn from the various subordinates of the Eight Mongolian Banners. They were all guard vests and raising soldiers and other strong martial arts skills. The Forward Battalion has officials such as commanders, senators, guards, etc. The commanders are led by princes and ministers, and commanding the commanders at all levels below, and are the Manchus and Mongolians. The three Niulus drawn this time are Manchu soldiers of the Inlaid Yellow Banner, which are also the imperial guards directly under the emperor, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than the rest of the Niulus under the banner.

The transfer of troops from the vanguard to join the war was the request of Jidu and the banner owners of each banner came to Shunzhi. The Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid Blue Banner who followed Jidu to Guangzhou were unwilling to produce Niulu again. Among them, the Zhengbai Banner opposes the most fiercely. Zhengbai Banner was originally led by the Regent Dorgon, and the Niulu under the banner was the strongest. After Dorgon's death, Shunzhi stripped off the Niulu from Zhengbai Banner and promoted the prison to implicate countless officials from Zhengbai Banner, causing the strength of Zhengbai Banner to be greatly damaged. As a result, although the Zhengbai Banner is the upper three banners, the support for the emperor was the weakest. (Author's note: In the official history, there were generals of Zhengbai Banner who wanted to rob Yongli from Wu Sangui. The plan was to protect Yongli to Shaanxi to fight against the Qing Dynasty. The matter was leaked, and dozens of generals and schoolmen were killed, and more than two thousand soldiers were more than 2,000.)

The Zhengbai Banner soldiers sent to Guangdong and their families were all killed. This made Zhengbai Banner, which was already dissatisfied with the emperor, strongly opposed the dispatch of troops. Although the emperor was their banner owner, the officials of the subordinates also formed a group to fight against the emperor for their own interests. In order to gain more support, the officials of the Zhengbai Banner asked to meet the Lord of the Inlaid White Banner, the Prince of Xin County Doni.

The two white flags were originally connected. Emperor Taizu was too fond of his young son Duoduo. He gave all the Niulu he directly led to Duoduo, which led to the Eight Banners with the most powerful Niulu before and after entering the pass. There were 98 Niulu before entering the pass. Later, Dorgon transferred the Niulu from the Yellow Banners under Haoge to the Zhengbai Banner, which made the Niulu of the Two White Banners reach more than 120. Even though Shunzhi weakened the two white banners again, and the number of people who suffered from the years of war after entering the pass, the Niulu of the Two White Banners still had more than 80. Now there are 25 Niulu in the Zhengbai Banners and 33 in the Inner White Banners. The rest are either all over the city or stay outside the pass to station Shengjing.

There were no more than 1,000 flag captains at once, and the family members who went south together were undoubtedly a heavy blow to Zhengbai Banner. The main story was full of discussions, and everyone said that if the emperor wanted to draw troops from Zhengbai Banner, it would be to make Zhengbai Banner lose its roots. Some people were even wondering whether the emperor had not yet dissatisfied his hatred for Dorgon back then, so he had to use the war to attack Zhengbai Banner.

Prince Doni, the prince of Xin, attacked Prince Fengxin in the sixth year of Shunzhi, but as soon as Shunzhi ascended the throne, he was demoted to the prince. Although when he was in Dongnuan Pavilion, Duni and Yue Le opposed the absurd proposal of Jidu and others to dismiss the Han officials, it did not mean that he was not suspicious or dissatisfied with Shunzhi in his heart. In addition, he also opposed dispatching a large army to Guangdong to pacify the Taiping Army, believing that local Han troops should be used to control the Han Dynasty with Han. The casualties of children in Manzhou should be minimized as much as possible, and after the Yongli court in Yunnan were resolved, the furious emperor actually changed his order to ask Jidu to lead the army to Guangdong. No princes and ministers present at that time dared to persuade him, and Duni naturally did not dare to talk too much.

Unable to dissuade this matter, Doni and the princes and ministers of Manchu Province were scheming. The emperor could send a large army to Guangdong, but he could no longer send troops from the Eight Banners of Manchu Province. The people of Zhengbai Banner begged him to support him for the sake of the two white banners being in unison. Doni agreed without hesitation, decisively supported the Zhengbai Banner, and opposed the dispatch of troops from the Eight Banners of Manchu Province.

The two white flags refused to send troops, and the Inlaid Lan flag was also a victim of the Guangdong Incident, naturally they would not support the transfer of troops from the flag. Zhenglan flag and the two red flags lost their lips and teeth. In addition, Ji Du and others, who had not formed the army, were instigated behind the scenes, and of course they also started to make trouble.

The Eight Banners had six banners opposed the troops. Shunzhi was determined to do so, but he could not ignore the fierce opposition from his subordinates. Without the support of princes and ministers, Shunzhi could not make arbitrary decisions with the two yellow banners. After hearing about the Guangdong Incident, the Empress Dowager also asked Su Ma to send a message, saying that Manzhou was the foundation of the country and must not be easily defeated.

The princes and ministers opposed it together, and the queen mother also opposed it, which made Shunzhi's intention to mobilize the army to the south was also weakened. Anyway, he had also changed his order once, and it was not impossible to change it again. At worst, he would not have to face the emperor. However, when he saw Tomafa's face, he gritted his teeth and held a meeting of the ministers to discuss the affairs of the kings and ministers, demanding that the army be sent south, and that there must be children from Manzhou followers.

The reason why Shunzhi insisted on sending Manzhou's man to Guangdong was because he saved a memorial from Shaozhou and Zhaoqing's deputy general Tang Sanshui.

The Tang Sanshui memorial made it clear that the Taiping army had only tens of thousands of soldiers, and the army was short, and most of them were infantry. They all rely on the advantage of the territory when fighting, and they had no courage to fight from top to bottom. Once a small defeat, the entire army would retreat. Every battle would be several times that of the enemy. The leader, the thief scholar, was cunning, but he acted with many bandits, and his subordinates were all bandits and robbed. After seizing Guangzhou, they burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil. They also learned from Li Chuang that year to torture local gentry, and called it "advocacy of grain". As a result, the people in Guangzhou, both the people and the gentry were suffering from the Taiping Army. People were thinking of the Qing Dynasty, and no one was willing to serve the Taiping Army.

Tang Sanshui reported to Shunzhi in more detail the defeat of General Hahamu of Jingnan. He said that Hahamu was lured to Nizhuo by the Taiping Army, causing the war horses to fall into the quagmire and could not exert their cavalry advantages. He was surrounded and annihilated by the Taiping Army with several times of its strength. Even so, the Taiping Army suffered huge casualties. According to the spies who infiltrated Guangzhou, although the Taiping Army has collected some of the green camp surrendered troops and recruited a large number of bandits. On the surface, there are tens of thousands of soldiers, but there are only thousands of soldiers to fight.

In the memorial, Tang Sanshui vividly described to Emperor Shunzhi how he defended Shaozhou and how he severely damaged the Taiping Army. According to him, tens of thousands of Taiping troops came to attack Shaozhou that day, and the soldiers in the city were all afraid of the bandits, and no one dared to fight. At the critical moment, Tang Sanshui shot a blind thief general with an arrow at the top of the city and rolled Jianglong into one eye. Then he shouted loudly at the top of the city, "The court offers you food and drink, in order to help you repay the country's kindness. Now that the bandits are invading, when will you wait if you don't fight hard?

!” After saying that, he opened the city gate and led his personal soldiers to fight the bandits to death. As a result, the bandits were vulnerable and were chased by him for more than ten miles, with thousands of corpses left behind. Since then, the bandits of Taiping no longer dared to peek at Shaozhou, but when they saw his deputy general Tang, they also detoured from afar and did not dare to fight. In order to prove that what they said was true, Tang Sanshui even said that the bandit general Fan Jianglong, who was blinded by him, was Li Fengming, the general under the bandit scholar, who has now changed his nickname and the bandit soldiers called him "Blind Li".

At the end of the memorial, Tang Sanshui almost patted his chest and told the emperor that he said that as long as the court gave him money and food, he could defend Shaozhou. If he gave him three or five months, he could rectify his troops and recover Guangzhou for the court, lock the thief scholar in a car cage and send it to Beijing, and take it to Caishikou to cut it into pieces!

Tang Sanshui's memorial was too detailed and was supported by Shaozhou magistrate, so Shunzhi could not believe it. Chaozhou Wu Liuqi also sent it urgently, but the statement was limited, saying that the Taiping Army took the power of Chaozhou and did not dare to invade, but he was also unable to divide his troops to recover Guangzhou due to the turmoil in Huizhou.

One could send troops to recover Guangzhou as long as the court gave money and food, while the other could not be separated. Compared with the two, Tang Sanshui's image suddenly became extremely tall in Shunzhi's mind. He imitated Emperor Chongzhen of the previous dynasty and wrote Tang Sanshui's name behind the screen of the Dongnuan Pavilion, meaning that this person must be entrusted to be used in the future.

After writing Tang San's name, Shunzhi did two things. One thing was to immediately issue an order to appoint Tang Sanshui as the general of Shaozhou, and the other thing was to convene a meeting of princes and ministers again. No matter how the princes and ministers opposed it, no matter whether the queen mother was satisfied or not, he must send a large army to Guangdong, and even send the children of Manzhou to Guangdong.

All the Han soldiers could defeat the Taiping gang so badly, and all the Han generals could make great contributions. All the Han people knew to work hard for the Qing Dynasty. Can't the children of Manzhou work hard for the Qing Dynasty and the emperor?

Zhou Shixiang knew that it was Tang Sanshui's memorial that Shunzhi had made him determined to send a large army to Guangdong to attack him, but he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

At this meeting of the political and royal courts, Ji Du and others no longer argued with Shunzhi on whether to send a large army to Guangdong, but proposed to transfer the troops in Manzhou to the south, but they had to be transferred from the emperor's own personal army, whether it was the vanguard camp, the guard camp, the cavalry camp, or the infantry camp, as long as it was the personal army.

Jidu and their plan was very simple. Although Shunzhi was the emperor, the national affairs were decided by the meeting of princes and ministers. The emperor was the banner master, and they were also the banner master. Send the children of Manzhou Province to fight, but they cannot just fight with other flags. The emperor, the banner master, should also express it. The soldiers of the two yellow flags cannot be kept in the capital like this.

Shunzhi gritted his teeth and agreed, ordering to dispatch troops from the vanguard camp, but he was willing to transfer only three Niulu. With the mediation of Yue Le and others, the princes and ministers of the various banners finally agreed to this plan and also dispatched troops from the Mongolian army flag and the Han army flag to form an army.

Jidu was the capital that led the eight armies out of the capital on October 2. The Zhili Green Camp and Henan Green Camp had already advanced southward. After the Manchu and Mongolian army arrived in Jiangning, they joined forces to join the army to the south. They also followed the troops to Beiledueryou, the commander Nahai, Ezhenji Dali, and other Eight Banner generals.
