Zhu Yicheng sat quietly listening to Zhang Ran’s report. Zhang Ran said it very carefully, so the report time was long. After listening, Zhu Yicheng thought about it and asked, “Is the situation of his family true?”
Zhang Ran was stunned and said with a hint of embarrassment: "I dare not deceive the emperor. I actually used some means, but please rest assured. At least this is the case with Mufeller's family."
Zhu Yicheng nodded slightly. After taking Nanjing and Su Song, he had made an explanation for the captives of the Qing Dynasty. Except for senior officials such as Gali, Cao Yin, Li Xu, and Ferrer, the families of others had special arrangements, and the families of others were dealt with in a unified manner.
Among them, the families of many middle and lower-level Qing officials did not live well, but they were much better than those who were taken to Taiping Mansion to mine. As for Mufell, most of his family members were women, children, elderly and weak, so they were not thrown into Taiping Mansion, but they only found a place to monitor and resettlement, and they barely survived by doing some work on weekdays.
There are many such situations, so Zhu Yicheng keenly noticed this when he listened to the report, so he asked that. As expected, Zhang Ran's answer confirmed his guess. As for what methods Zhang Ran used, Zhu Yicheng was not interested in inquiring. Anyway, the Jinyiwei naturally had their own way, as long as the result was no problem.
"In addition to Mufeller, there are other candidates?"
"Go back to the emperor, that's right." Zhang Ran replied quickly: "But compared to this, Mufeller is the most suitable. But please rest assured that the emperor has made arrangements for others and can be activated at any time."
Zhu Yicheng smiled and nodded slightly and said, "This is a good thing! The Jinyiwei needs to follow up at any time for the situation over there. By the way, especially for several important officials, it has to be taken seriously. If they can be used, it will be a great achievement!"
"I understand, please rest assured, I will do this." Zhang Ran was happy. This was the emperor's praise. Although Zhu Yicheng has always been tolerant of his ministers and is not particular about details in many aspects, Zhu Yicheng has always been strict with institutions like the Jinyiwei. As for this reason, Zhang Ran, who is in charge of Jinyiwei, is very clear in his heart. It is rare to have Zhu Yicheng's praise, and he is completely relieved.
Mufell's transformation was still very successful. Not long after, Mufell, or Manchu officials like Mufell, would soon become chess pieces in the hands of the Jinyiwei, which was extremely important for the Ming Dynasty's northern plan.
The battle situation in Jiangxi is still smooth. After taking Jiujiang, the Ming army has swept the surrounding areas of Jiujiang. At the same time, in order to attract the Qing army and rescue Zhu Jiancai, the Ming army attacked a place in Hubei. Now Zhu Jiancai's troops have joined forces with the Ming army and temporarily stationed in Huangmei, forming a confrontation with the Qing army in Huangzhou Prefecture. In other words, Zhu Jiancai finally got a chance to breathe after suffering great losses.
Regarding the strategy of Hubei, the Ming army mainly focuses on stability. This is considering that Jiangxi has not yet taken all of it, and the Ming army must ensure the purpose of the rear. In Hubei, Gao Jin's troops are currently mobilizing troops to advance to the northeast. Although the main direction of the Qing army is in Huangzhou Prefecture, they dare not act rashly under the oppression of the Ming army.
As for the battlefield in Jiangxi, Yang Xu's 50,000 troops had already fought from Shaoguan to Ji'an, and the progress could not be said to be slow. However, after the Qing army in Jiangxi reacted, the Ming army gradually felt resistance, especially as the closer they were to Nanchang, the greater the resistance.
From this perspective, it will take at least one or two months to capture Jiangxi, but the Ming army is very optimistic about the capture of Jiangxi. After all, not only are Jiangxi now firmly held the hands of the Ming army, but more importantly, Zhou Zhongliang and Bao Jian, the two brothers, were stunned for a moment when they learned that the Ming army had attacked Jiangxi from Shaoguan North.
At present, Jiangxi can fight against the Qing army, which is part of Nanchang. As long as this Qing army is solved, Zhou Zhongliang and Bao Jian will not be a problem. The most important thing is not Jiangxi, but still Hubei. Longkodo has a lot of troops in Hubei and his subordinates are also extremely elite. The Qing army in Huangzhou Prefecture has shown signs of attacking Huangmei. If Zhu Yigui can't stop it, the Ming army will have to retreat to Jiangxi temporarily, which will affect the entire battle situation.
The situation in the world is unpredictable. Sun Tzu's Art of War begins with the saying: "Weapon is a major event of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and death, and must be observed!"
Although Zhu Yicheng's Ming army had an advantage in Jiangxi, it now had direct contact with the main force of the Qing army, and there was still a big battle to fight next. In this case, Zhu Yicheng had to be cautious. The great man once said: If he despises the enemy strategically and attaches importance to the enemy tactically, the Ming Dynasty will soon resume. Although his strength is stronger day by day, it is still insufficient compared to the Qing court in the north. Therefore, Zhu Yicheng has decided to increase troops to Jiangxi to strengthen the troops in Huang Chaoyun's hands. Not only should he consolidate the advantages of the Jiangxi battlefield, but he should also firmly block Longkodo in Hubei.
In addition, there are also many jobs outside the battlefield. Whether it is Wang Jingqi's Propaganda Department or Zhang Ran's Jinyiwei, they are also doing a lot of work, and the purpose is to serve this military operation.
After Zhang Ran left, Zhu Yicheng came to the map again, crouched his eyebrows and looked at the map hanging on the wall. His eyes were in Jiangxi, Hubei, and even Guangxi for a long time, and then gradually moved to the Jiangbei area. Then he crossed Jiangbei, went straight up, and finally landed in Beijing.
Zhu Yicheng dreamed of taking over Beijing and regaining his old capital, but it was not yet time for the full Northern Expedition, at least it would have to wait for the battle between Jiangxi and Hubei to be completed. However, Zhu Yicheng had already begun to make arrangements, but the specific strategy was always determined, because many uncertain factors had always made Zhu Yicheng unable to make up his mind.
"Emperor, I'm the Empress asked Nubi to come and invite the Emperor..." Standing in front of the map, I don't know how long it took, the voice of the little yellow gate brought Zhu Yicheng's thoughts back to reality.
Zhu Yicheng immediately turned around and asked a little urgently: "Empress let me go? Could it be..."
"Please rest assured, the empress is in good health. She just said that she would ask the emperor to move to the harem if she had something to do." Xiaohuangmen replied.
Zhu Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief. After the beginning of spring, Li Juaner accidentally caught a cold and had a sick some time ago. However, her health has always been good, and with the treatment of the Imperial Hospital, she has been cured these days. Zhu Yicheng originally thought that her condition had been recurring, but she was confused for a while. When she learned that she had something to look for him, she felt relieved.
It's only afternoon, and it's still early to dinner. I don't know why Li Juaner asked someone to pass on a message to him. But Zhu Yicheng didn't delay, and hurried to the harem. When he arrived at Li Juaner's palace gate, he heard someone talking inside and a little laughter came.
