The emperor's personal expedition is not as good as the prince. When the prince goes to the expedition, the court needs many things to prepare. The top priority is to select the troops and horses to personally expedition. The second is to raise the food and grass needed by the army. Then there are local support, marching routes, and contacts with the governors and generals of various places. In short, the personal expedition is not something that the emperor can leave the capital immediately after he speaks casually.

After several consecutive discussions, the court finally decided to follow the eight banners of the banners in Beijing, and recruited more than 20,000 Mongolian troops from the outside world to come in for the emperor's direct dispatch. Green camps in Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Beizhili and other places also had to transfer troops to follow the troops. However, these camps were first unified to Nanyang Prefecture, and first came to the control of Prince An Yuele, and then the imperial camps were unified and commanded by the imperial camp after the imperial camp arrived.

After getting angry that day, Shunzhi did not get angry anymore. Sony and the others were doing the task of placing troops and dispatching generals. He was also happy to be idle. He first stayed at his beloved concubine Dong E for two days. He felt very uncomfortable when he looked at his increasingly haggard concubine. After calming down his sadness, he went to the empress dowager.

The emperor insisted on expedition in person, and the meeting of princes and ministers agreed to discuss politics was passed again. He was not willing to force the empress dowager who was not involved in politics, so he could only repeatedly remind the emperor that the rest was to pray for his son's victory and return from the Buddha's victory. The empress dowager must not worry. Although the emperor has grown up, he has never passed the battle formation after all, which is different from Taizu Taizong. He has grown up in the deep palace and raised by women since childhood. But this steep one has to lead the imperial storm in person. Can the empress dowager not worry?

In order to reassure the empress dowager and to make the old man less worried, Shunzhi specially brought the third prince Xuanye, who was raised outside the palace, back to the palace, asking him and the second prince Fu to accompany their grandmother all day. This really made the empress dowager less worried. The empress dowager is 46 years old this year. Although she is well maintained, she looks like she is about 30 years old, but after all, she is a grandmother and is gradually towards the old man in nature. So when she sees her grandson every day, she will naturally be good when she is happy.

Sony and the others were almost done with the matter of ordering troops and dispatching generals. The emperor was waiting to lead the army south to show his skills, but the Eight Banners of Manzhou in the capital was shrouded in a bleak cloud. Guangzhou was set up, and Hahamu took away so many Eight Banners and their families. As a result, Guangzhou was destroyed, and tens of thousands of Manzhou families called Taiping Kou to slaughter them. Prince Jian made a southern expedition and ruined more than two thousand Manzhou children; in the battle of Mopan Mountain in the southwest, four or five thousand Manzhou children died in the wilderness. In the past two years, eight of the ten bannermen in Beijing had mourning and mourning. At this time, Prince Xin led tens of thousands of elite troops to have no troops in the mountains in the southwest, and the emperor wanted to lead the emperor to personally fight. Let me ask, which Eight Banners in Beijing is not panicked? But what can the banner people do if the emperor decides?

In just two or three days, the bustling capital became bleak. The men in the Eight Banners family in the forbidden voyage looked at their men, and the more they looked at them, the more they were reluctant to let go. The soldiers and generals of the Manzhou province who were forbidden voyages also knew about it. They no longer spent money everywhere, but stayed at home with their wives and children when they came back. Without the expenses of these Manzhou uncles, the business of kilns, restaurants and gambling shops in the capital suddenly decreased, and the more poor Han officials were coming in and out, which made the kiln sisters curse the bad luck.

What the people below think, Shunzhi doesn’t care about it, and they just keep urging Sony and the others to move faster, make quicker, and prepare as soon as possible.

Sony and the others also wanted to be quick, but how could this matter be quick? It's okay to call the troops and generals, just call them by the book, but the food and grass needed by the army cannot be transformed by holding the roster. A group of ministers in the inner circle have been doing a lot of hardships. After finally solving the problem of food and grass, they turned around and called it bitter again. There are food and grass, but the money has not yet been lost?

When the cannon fired, ten thousand taels of gold were given. The children of Manzhou Province asked for silver. The Mongolian soldiers from the foreign vassals came to fight for the Qing Dynasty, and they had to give benefits. The Han army green camps also had to give silver, otherwise how could they expect them to work hard? This time, the imperial army was in charge, which was unusual. Sony and the others dared not let the subordinates make trouble for the fact that they had not yet reached the enemy territory, but instead slaughtered the city on their own territory first. So no matter what, the money had to be prepared, and it would not be possible to reduce one tael.

The master doesn't care about anything, and the slaves can't complain even if they are exhausted. Sony, Obai and the others are really tired, and the princes and ministers of Manzhou are also spreading their hands and don't ask about the nonsense. The emperor is going to fight in person, and it's not that they are going to fight. The master's affairs, you two Huangqi servants don't help with cooking, so who can help?

Prince Kang Jieshu was determined to do things. Thinking of the emperor's favor and trust in him, he went to the palace to advise the emperor again. He said to Shunzhi: "I think that since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the Ming army has always had internal conflicts. When Zuo Liangyu went east to Nanjing, the Tang and Lu were later in opposition, Tang and Gui were opposed, and then Sun Kewang and Li Ding were fighting in internal conflicts. Every time the Ming army was fighting in internal conflicts, our Qing Dynasty could always reap the benefits of the fisherman."

After hearing Jieshu's words, Shunzhi nodded slightly. Jieshu said it well. If it weren't for the repeated internal strife and division within the Ming army, it would be very difficult for the Qing Dynasty to settle the Han people's territory.

"Speak." Shunzhi Zhong heard what Jieshu said, and he signaled him to continue.

Jieshu was happy to see the emperor willing to listen to his words, and then said, "In fact, I think the situation in the south is the same as before, and even worse than that in the past. Although the Zheng pirates in Jinxia respected Yongli as their respect, they actually did their own things. Li Dingguo in the southwest was born as a thief in the Western Conference, and they were afraid that they would be the same as those in Yongli and Sun Kewang, and they might not have much loyalty. The Guangdong Zhou rebels looked like a sudden rise, with strong troops and strong horses, but they did not have the same status as Li Dingguo. I heard that Yongli was just a title for this person.

There was Xingping Bo, but there were not many princes and princes in the south of the pseudo-Ming, but the princes and marquis of the kingdom were unknown. Therefore, Zhou Ni was only Xingping Bo, and his troops were strong and strong, and he could not intimidate other pseudo-Ming forces. And most importantly, Zhou Ni was now strong and Li Ding Guo was weak, and Zhu Youlang, the pseudo-Ming Guo, abandoned the country and fled. At present, the pseudo-Ming Wang had no common ruler. Therefore, I believe that Zhou Ni, who had more soldiers and horses, would not bow to Li Ding Guo. After a long time, the two of them would definitely have a gap. At that time, it would be another internal conflict between Sun and Li."

Upon hearing this, Shunzhi shook his head and said, "Doni reported that Li Dingguo asked Wu Sangui to drive him to western Yunnan. This week, he occupied Guangdong and Guangxi, and actually occupied half of Huguang. His territory was not connected to Li Dingguo, and his troops were not under the jurisdiction of Li Dingguo. The two may not have a gap."

Jieshu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if Li Dingguo and Zhou Ni can't make a fuss, Zhou Ni will also make trouble within this Zhou Ni. I heard that Zhou Ni has many surrendered soldiers and generals in the Taiping gang. Can Zhou Ni really use them with confidence? If you don't use it, Zhou Ni will do what to do with these surrendered soldiers and generals. If you are not careful, these surrendered generals may cause trouble again. And even if Zhou Ni and Li Dingguo really cooperate sincerely, now that Zhu Ming has no co-lord, Zhou Ni will inevitably feel the desire to support him. At that time, he will rely on more troops to support another emperor. Will Li Dingguo, the King of Jin, who was conferred by Zhu Youlang, agree?"

After hearing this, Shunzhi didn't say anything, but his eyes told Jieshu that he had said this to the emperor's heart.

Jieshu was inspired and continued, "Emperor, Yunnan is not worth worrying. Zhu Youlang abandoned the country and ran to Myanmar. Li Dingguo survived in western Yunnan. The army entered the country, and the people's livelihood was withered, so there was definitely not much food. If Li Dingguo wanted to gain a foothold in western Yunnan, he had to collect grain from those chieftains. It would be fine once or twice. If there were too many times, would those chieftains willing to be bullied by Li Dingguo? Hong Chengchou reported clearly that Li Dingguo repeatedly attacked the chieftains in western Yunnan and massacred the city several times. In addition, the generals under Li Dingguo were trapped in western Yunnan and lived in western Yunnan. These people were originally from thieves in the West, and they could share hardships, but it was difficult to share wealth and honor. Our army was approaching. They hugged each other tightly and supported each other, which was easy to shake. But what would the emperor think they would?"

"What do you mean?" Shunzhi looked meditative.

Jie Shu said: "I think I should take it slowly towards the southwest, but not be impatient."

Shunzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "How to do it?"

"For the Li Dingguo in Yunnan, Wu Sangui can temporarily suspend his march, comfort the chieftains more, and persuade the Ming army to surrender, so that Li Dingguo cannot get the support of the chieftains, and cannot gather troops and let them die on their own."

Shunzhi pondered slightly and nodded, "This is OK."

Jieshu said again: "For Zhou Ni, the Qing officials and soldiers who surrendered to the past, the court will not pursue them. No matter how civil and military officials or what their duties were in the Qing Dynasty, the court will still retain them. As long as they are willing to return, the original official will be promoted to another level and replenished."

"Didn't it make them think I'm easy to bully?" Shunzhi's eyes flashed, and he was a little disagreeable with this strategy.

Jieshu chuckled: "The emperor feels uncomfortable. How would Zhou Ni think about this?"

Shunzhi thought for a while and said, "It's like eating a fly?" After saying that, he shook his head violently: "This plan of separation is too simple. I think it's all a joke, how can Zhou Ni be fooled?"

"This plan of disagreement seems simple, and it will not be effective for a while, but it will always be effective over time. And what is important is that if the emperor personally leads the army to fight, how should those rebel generals choose? At that time, will Zhou Ni trust them or guard against them?"

After hearing this, Shunzhi was speechless for a long time. After a while, he stood up and sighed to Wu Liangfu beside him: "One of the kings, only Jie Shu can be used."

With Jieshu's advice, Shunzhi issued several imperial edicts in a row, first commending King Wu Sangui of Pingxi, Hong Chengchou of the Five Provinces, Li Guoying of the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Gao Minzhan of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Guoan of Sichuan and the Governor of Guangxi, Cheng Weixin of Guangxi, and Zhang Changgeng of Huguang, were also clearly commended. In short, all Han officials and generals who fought with the Ming army, whether they were victorious or lost, were encouraged by Shunzhi. At the same time, the imperial edict was issued to announce the world in the form of a Tangbao. The Qing Dynasty did not blame the officials who surrendered and surrendered to the enemy, and his family was not involved. Anyone who had been suspended and re-selled the horse would be given a new one.
