Chapter 412 Subsidizing Li Zicheng

Dorgon attacked the east and west, and the troops on the surface went south, but in fact they attacked northern Jin.

The Qing army detoured the Mongolian border, but the Shun army had no spies in the Mongolian territory. It was not until the Qing army broke into the corner and the Qing army entered northern Shanxi that the Shun army reacted.

Now that the Qing army has invaded northern Shanxi, Gao Huan's pressure has undoubtedly eased, and many generals have breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the Qing army was approaching, and the Nanjing court behind them was in trouble. The Zhongwu army was attacked from both sides, making it difficult for them to fight the Qing army with peace of mind.

Now that the Qing army attacked Hedong and fought with Li Zicheng, it was equivalent to sharing the pressure of the coalition forces.

After reading the military newspaper, Zhao Ming handed it to the generals around him and said in a deep voice: "We are safe when the Qing army attacked Hedong. However, if Li Zicheng lost Hedong, the Qing army will definitely go south again to attack us!"

After Gao Huan finished speaking, he pulled out his reins and said, "Go! Go back to discuss!"

Now that the Yellow River is thawing, the Qing army on the north bank has no ferry, so it cannot pass for a while. Moreover, since the Qing army raided Hedong, its short-term strategy must be to defend the south and attack the west.

Gao Huan glanced at the other side of the Yellow River, then led a group of people down the river bank and returned to Kaifeng City.

~~~~~~~

When Gao Huan received the news that the Qing army raided Hedong, everyone in the city had already received the news first.

Zhou Yanru, Ding Qirui and others realized that as the Qing army raided Hedong and fought with Li Zicheng, their chance came.

When Gao Huan returned to Kaifeng and ran to the front of the tower, everyone was already waiting in the festival hall.

"Supervisor! Master Zhou and his team have been waiting for a long time!" Liu Heizi stepped forward and said.

Gao Huan turned over and dismounted the horse, threw the whip to Liu Heizi, and then strode forward and went straight to the hall.

At this time, Zhou Yanru and others sat inside, discussing the impact of the Qing army's advance westward and how to take the opportunity to oust Lu Wang.

"The governor is here!" Outside the hall, the soldiers' legs were raised, their chests were raised, and they shouted loudly.

When everyone in the hall heard the words, they stood up one after another, and saw Gao Huan and others stepping in. So they bowed and said, "Mr. Marquis!"

Gao Huan walked to the handsome seat and sat down, nodding slightly? "It seems everyone knows!"

Zhou Yanru and Taoism: "Marty! Jiannu attacked Hedong? We can just go south and seize Nanjing? Support the new emperor."

Gao Huan nodded, but said, "We really have to take this opportunity to go south! But if the Qing army seized Hedong, it will be extremely unfavorable for us."

Although Gao Huan had expected the Qing army to raid Hedong, he did not remind Li Zicheng.

This does not mean that Gao Huan wanted the Qing army to occupy Hedong, but hoped that Li Zicheng could entangle the Qing army in Hedong.

Gao Huan treats Li Zicheng as a tool, hoping that he can buy him a year and a half.

As long as Gao Huan can integrate the south? Let the taxes in Jiangnan be used for his own use? Then it is not difficult for the Zhongwu Army to be backed by the wealthy land in the south, blocking the Qing army.

Now Nanjing has supported the Lu Wang’s reign, and Lu Wang may become emperor at any time and establish a new dynasty in Nanjing.

Zhou Yanru still wanted to continue to be the chief minister, so naturally he hoped that Gao Huan could go south quickly and overthrow the Lu Wang small court.

"Could the Marquis still participate in the Hedong War?" Zhou Yanru couldn't help asking.

Seeing his anxious expression, Gao Huan nodded slightly, but shook his head again, "Don't worry, Master Ge? This governor will not send troops directly, but he can't watch the Qing army capture Hedong."

Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack in Hedong? Li Zicheng gathered heavy troops in Hedong again? However, Gao Huan still did not like Li Zicheng.

When Zhou Yanru heard that he would not send troops directly, he felt relieved, "What does the Marquis mean?"

After realizing that Dorgon was going to use a secret trick and secretly repairing the plank road to secretly travel to Chen Cang, Gao Huan had already made plans in his heart.

"The first is to issue a manifesto to unite to resist the Qing Dynasty!" Gao Huan said in a deep voice.

Now Li Zicheng did not destroy the Ming Dynasty and forced Emperor Chongzhen to death. The resistance to uniting and resisting the Qing Dynasty was not as great as in history.

This was not the decision made by the court, but by Gao Huan's personal statement, and no one could stop him.

After hearing this, Zhou Yanru and others did not respond much. They also knew Gao Huan's routine. Sometimes they made a manifesto just by randomly sending it, which was not countable at all.

Otherwise, the people would not, and some people mocked him as a "sentence to the generals of the army."

At this time, Gao Huan continued: "Second, let Sun Chuanting and Yuan Shizhong carry out destruction in Hebei and Shandong to restrain the Qing army's forces. At the same time, we must leave enough troops along the Yellow River to defend and strictly prevent the Qing army from crossing the river."

Everyone had no objection to this. This was to defend the Yellow River and to restrain the Qing army's forces.

After all, Gao Huan had to guard against the Qing army crossing the river, and the Qing army also had to guard against Gao Huan crossing the river and attack Hebei.

"In the end, I will give Li Zicheng some weapons and food!" Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Of course, the first batch is free, and he needs to buy it with money later. Li Zicheng occupied Hedong and seized it very generously. He paid the money and the supervisor sent out the weapons and food, so he would definitely be able to drag Jiannu to Hedong."

Zhou Yanru and others came to their senses and found that Gao Huan was planning this.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Li Zicheng. As a bandit and Emperor Dashun, he was actually regarded as a tool by Gao Huan.

This is to use Li Zicheng as a shield and to make Li Zicheng’s money!

Song Xiance smiled and said, "Li Zicheng has many troops and a lot of money, but he lacks food and equipment. If we sell food and weapons, we will definitely be comparable to the Qing army."

Gao Huan had no hope that Li Zicheng would tie the Qing army, but he just hoped that he could block the Qing army for a year or destroy Shanxi.

Now, in several northern provinces, only Henan and Shanxi are in better situations, and can provide food and taxes.

Henan was managed with Gao Huan, while Shanxi had fewer wars and Shanxi merchants were strong.

If the Qing army had a complete Shanxi, it would undoubtedly increase the financial, material and manpower of the Qing army. If Shanxi was destroyed, even if the Qing army occupied Shanxi, it would not increase much strength.

Zhou Yanru and others heard Gao Huan's words and couldn't help but nod: "The Marquis was thinking about Zhou Dao, then when will we go south?"

Seeing that he had rewindled the topic, Gao Huan smiled and asked, "Where is Your Highness Fu now?"

Gao Mingheng said: "I'm still in Hulao Pass!"

Gao Huan couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, "Why are you still in the Huzhu?"

"Previously, the army was driven back to Kaifeng by Jiannu from Hebei. His Highness Fu was frightened and was unwilling to come to Kaifeng." Song Xiance said.

Gao Huan was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Your Highness's body of a thousand golds, you really can't take risks. This is because I am not considering it well. Let's do this! Your Highness should not come to Kaifeng. I will raise an army and go south to meet with Your Highness on the way!"

Gao Huan showed unprecedented tolerance for King Fu.

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty did not like the overly capable emperors, and Zhou Yanru and others did not criticize King Fu.

"Okay! This cabinet will announce the will of Your Majesty, and send an edict to defy the traitors of the Donglin gang, and order the King of Lu to abdicate and return to the vassal immediately!" Zhou Yanru stood up, his face full of excitement.
