Winter has arrived, and it snowed heavily in Henan overnight. The snow temporarily stopped the military operations of the three parties on the fierce Henan battlefield, and also gave the rebels a rare respite.

"There are more troops from Qing Gouzi..."

Runan, Zhu Jiancai’s Mansion. It was snowy outside the house, but the inside was as warm as spring, but frost was hanging on the faces of everyone sitting.

Du Laodao, a general under Zhu Jiancai, sighed that since Wang Zhiqing broke through Nanyang and came to rescue, Zhu Jiancai's troops and Wang Zhiqing joined forces to tie Longkodo, and the two sides had been in a stalemate for a long time. However, as the Qing army once again increased its troops, and this time the increase was said to have called on the elites of Fengtai Camp, the rebels gradually became unable to bear it.

If it weren't for this heavy snow, the battle a few days ago would have been completely lost. Both Zhu Jiancai and Wang Zhiqing had been forced to a cliff, and the situation was not optimistic.

"Your Majesty, you have to make plans early!" Another person couldn't help but persuade. In fact, if these subordinates didn't say anything, Zhu Jiancai knew that Runan would probably not be able to defend it, even if Wang Zhiqing helped him. Runan was lost, Zhu Jiancai had only one way, that is, to go south to Hubei. Zhu Jiancai had been thinking about whether to walk this road or how to walk these days.

Zhu Jiancai has always had a bad reputation in the eyes of the world, especially because he repeatedly cheated Yuan Qi. Yuan Qi's defeat in Jiujiang mutiny has some relationship with Zhu Jiancai, but Zhu Jiancai did this out of helplessness.

Since the rise of the army, although there have been a strong army, Zhu Jiancai's journey has been very difficult. He wanted to take advantage of the advantage of Henan to compete for the Central Plains, but after failing to advance north to Shanxi, he was fiercely counterattacked by the Qing army. Although Zhu Jiancai had many soldiers, most of them were mobs. It was very difficult to fight against the Qing army until now.

This time, Wang Zhiqing sacrificed his life to rescue Zhu Jiancai, which moved Zhu Jiancai, so this is the main reason why Zhu Jiancai rarely resisted the Qing army with his friendly forces to this day. Although Zhu Jiancai is a villain, he is not a fool. If he used friendly forces as victims like the last few times this time and escaped, even if he could escape from heaven, the world would be nowhere tolerated.

"It's so heavy snow, have all the supplies from the Three Saints Kings sent over?" Zhu Jiancai ignored the inquiry from his subordinates, and instead asked about this.

"Prince, please rest assured. The supplies from the Three Saints Kings were sent yesterday. Because it was cold, the last one would add three thousand kilograms of good carbon." A deputy general replied quickly.

Zhu Jiancai nodded slightly. Now Runan is stationed. In order to better cooperate and to avoid some misunderstandings between the two sides, Wang Zhiqing's troops are mainly stationed in the west of Runan, and Zhu Jiancai controls east of Runan. As for logistics, all of them are allocated by Zhu Jiancai's troops. Zhu Jiancai has been operating in Runan for a long time, and there is no shortage of supplies and is not stingy in taking action. This makes people unable to find any fault.

"Take people to the Three Saints Kings for a walk, and ask them if they have any shortcomings. If necessary, send them to the Three Saints Kings together." Zhu Jiancai reminded him again, and then asked Du Laodao: "I heard that His Majesty Yongye's army is ready to enter Jiangxi? Is there any such thing?"

"The prince is right. In fact, the Ming army has taken Pengze, and the gate from Anqing to Jiujiang has been opened by the Ming army. However, it is unknown whether the Ming army has attacked Jiujiang at the moment. After all, it is too far away and the news is blocked. However, judging from the Ming army's previous actions, it is inevitable to attack Jiangxi."

"Haha, I'm here to kill Qing Gouzi, but the south is secretly picking up cheap. If the Henan War had not attracted so many Qing Gouzi, how could they easily take Pengze!" As soon as Du Laodao finished speaking, someone in the room said with great dissatisfaction, with complaints in his words.

This sentence immediately aroused the recognition of everyone. After all, whether before or now, when Yuan Qi was still there, Yuan Qi's troops and Zhu Jiancai had crossed the south of the Yangtze River and fought one after another with the Qing army. At that time, Zhu Yicheng's troops were huddled in Ningbo, taking this opportunity to develop at an extremely fast pace.

Subsequently, while the Qing Dynasty prince and later Yin Huaxing fought with the rebel army, Zhu Yicheng first restored the position of governor in Nanjing, then took advantage of the opportunity to easily take down Hangzhou, and then went north to Jiangsu with the benefits of the navy, and after conquering Nanjing, he has been in great success until now.

In the eyes of the Zhu Jiancai people, Zhu Yicheng was simply lucky. If they hadn't been blocking the situation in front, how could Zhu Yicheng become emperor in Nanjing? And how could the Ming Dynasty now have so many elite soldiers and generals?

Especially now, in the war in Henan, the Ming army took this opportunity to not only occupy Anqing, but also target Jiangxi. It may not be easy to deal with this Jiangxi in the future. But look at our side, although they dominated Henan, they are now defeated by the Qing army's counterattack, not only losing a large area of ​​territory, but now they can't even defend their old nest Runan. Compared with the two, no one will be convinced.

"Bold!" Seeing everyone's criticism, Zhu Jiancai slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty Yongye is the orthodox of my Ming Dynasty. Although I am the king of Han, don't forget that we are still the ministers of Your Majesty Yongye! Your Majesty sent troops to Jiangxi, which is clearly a plan to surround Wei and save Zhao, to mobilize the Qing army to reduce the pressure on the battlefield in Henan. You are not grateful to Your Majesty, but instead criticize him privately. Do you still have my Ming Dynasty, your Majesty and I, the King of Han in your eyes?"

Zhu Jiancai looked extremely excited, his face turned red, and he looked indignant. If he didn't know, he would think Zhu Jiancai had always been Zhu Yicheng's confidant.

Looking at Zhu Jiancai's appearance, everyone looked at each other. They didn't understand what was going on for a moment, or was Du Laodao's reaction fast. After recalling the slightest remark, he hurriedly said: "What the prince said is very much. Although our troops are in Henan, His Majesty issued an order to the prince when he was rein charge of the country, and let our troops station in Henan to fight against the Qing army. Now, although our Ming Dynasty is not as strong as the Qing army in Henan, it is unstoppable in the south. As long as Your Majesty conquers Jiangxi and forcing Hubei, our troops can be connected with His Majesty's main force. At that time, the defensive will be the attack, and the defeat of the Qing army will be in front of you!"

As soon as Du Laodao said this, everyone reacted. After a long time of trouble, Boss Zhu actually made this idea. But it was true that he thought about it carefully. Although Zhu Jiancai's subordinates were far away in Henan, after Zhu Yicheng's reinstatement, he had passed the imperial edict in the world. Not only did he recognize Zhu Jiancai's identity as King of Han, but he also sent a formal edict to Zhu Jiancai. As for Zhu Jiancai's side, although he did not take the Ming Dynasty seriously at that time, he did not do anything out of the ordinary and accepted the edict. From this, it can be seen that in name, there was no problem with Zhu Jiancai's subordinates belonging to the Ming army, and he, the King of Han, was also worthy of his name.

Everyone was smart, and when they thought of this in an instant, they immediately changed their faces. They changed their previous complaints and dissatisfaction with the Ming army. Instead, they praised the Ming army with Zhu Jiancai's words. Every word and every word, they soon regarded themselves as the Ming army, and they kept saying that they would follow the King of Han as the front pawn of His Majesty Yongye of the Ming Dynasty.
