The Qing army took advantage of the flooding of the Yellow River and Gao Huan's army was inconvenient to mobilize, and launched a counterattack in northern Henan.

This time, Duoduo did not attack the main force of the Liang army, but instead picked soft persimmons and attacked the small Liang army in northern Henan.

After the Qing army won several small victories, Hong Chengchou took the opportunity to exaggerate the results and informed the people of Hebei, Shandong and Hedong that the Qing army was not in a bad way. Dorgon lost only after he was careless. The Qing army would definitely defeat Gao Huan next time, so as to unite people's hearts.

The battlefield took place in northern Henan. Gao Huan learned the news that the army was blocked by the Yellow River Flood and it was difficult to send troops to reinforce. He could only let Yuan Shizhong advance to Shandong as a revenge.

Huai'an City.

When Zhou Yanru resigned from his position as the Grand Secretary of the Hongguang Dynasty and ran to Huai'an to find Gao Huan to take the job, a large group of officials from the Hongguang court also resigned and turned to Liang State to become officials.

The specifications of Liang State are now just a vassal state, and the rank is lower than those of the Hongguang court. However, many officials, who are interested in the potential of Liang State, are willing to do a job first.

Now Gao Huan wants to manage the place, expanding from Henan to Lianghuai, and the bureaucratic ranks of Liang Kingdom need to be expanded.

Gao Huan then expanded his original left and right military advisors to seven, and set up a government above the Six Caos, appointing seven people to discuss politics, of which one was the leader to govern politics.

At present, the seven political parties are discussed, Gao Huan only appoints three, namely Li Yan, Song Xiance, and Zhou Yanru.

After the bureaucratic team expanded, Gao Huan urgently needed to formulate a plan for future actions so that Liang Jun knew the next goal, and also let Liang's bureaucratic team clarify the direction of governance.

At this time, in Gao Huan's palace, more than 30 officials who came to participate in the meeting gathered together.

Most of these officials turned from the Hongguang Dynasty, led by Zhou Yanru, Ruan Dacheng and others.

At this time, everyone was standing in the hall, whispering, analyzing the problems and challenges facing Liang Kingdom at the moment.

"The king is here!" The guards at the door shouted loudly.

When everyone heard the sound, they quickly stood on both sides and bowed together, "I welcome the king!"

Gao Huan wore a four-clawed dragon robe, a winged crown on his head, and held the jade belt around his waist with his hands. He walked in and sat down in the middle hall.

Gao Huan glanced at everyone. Because of the yellow area blocking, many of Gao Huan's confidants did not come, and most of the palace were covered with raw faces.

"No gifts!" Gao Huan smiled and waved his hand, and then said to everyone: "Today we are summoning you to discuss three major events. First, it is the reward of those who have made meritorious people, the pension of the injured and the fallen soldiers. Second, it is to restore the people's livelihood of our Liang Kingdom. Third, it is to discuss whether our Liang Kingdom will go north to fight against the Qing Dynasty or to go south to wipe out Zuo Liangyu. Today, it is just a discussion. If you have any opinions, you can speak freely!"

After Gao Huan spoke, everyone was talking for a while. Sun Sike first said: "Report to the king. The pension matter is being gradually implemented. The policy of pension and exemption of family taxes has been formulated and will be implemented soon. As for the reward matter, I have completed the statistics. The households have allocated the reward silver and enthroned the generals. The teachings of enthroning the generals have been written, but the military fields required for the reward cannot be implemented yet!"

Gao Huan frowned and said, "Why can't it be implemented?"

Sun Sike said: "Reporting to the king, the Liang army is now nearly 300,000, and the number of military fields required is large. In the Central Plains, the fertile fields are mainly in Nanyang and eastern Henan. Now the Nanyang Basin is in the hands of the Shun Army, and eastern Henan is flooded by floods, so there are not many acres of land to divide."

Gao Huan stroked the short beard under Hubei. He only carried out land reform in one place in Henan. The two Huaihe River had just controlled it, and the land was not in Gao Huan's hands.

The 300,000 Liang troops needed a huge number of military fields. At present, the military government does not have much land.

Gao Huan frowned slightly when he heard the words. He is the King of Liang now, and it is difficult to rob the land of the gentry's wealthy families. He can only expand and seize the land, or spend money to buy land from the gentry's wealthy families.

However, the Liang Dynasty has not yet been straightened out. The flooding of the Yellow River has caused hundreds of thousands of people to be homeless. In order to provide relief to the victims and prevent and control epidemics, the materials have been consumed almost the same, so it is difficult for the Liang army to launch a new war.

It is not realistic to buy land from the gentry landlords. The foundation of the Liang State is still unstable, so it is not too cruel to offend the gentry landlords for the time being.

Previously, Gao Huan's actions made the gentry landlord regard him as a disaster, which made the gentry wealthy families in Jiangnan collude with Zuo Liangyu and Zheng Zhilong. Now, relying on their peers to set off, Gao Huan regained some impressions and gained the support of the gentry in Jiangbei.

If you buy and sell forcibly, you will be afraid that the two Huaihe River will become turbulent again. When the Liang army attacks other forces, the gentry and wealthy families will also rise up to resist.

At this time, when Zhou Yanru saw Gao Huan pondering, he went out and said, "King, I think that at present, I can only block the Yellow River from the breach as soon as possible. To restore people's livelihood, Daliang must first block the Yellow River from the breach, then clear the river channels and canals, and drain the flood. In this way, the first thing is to keep the connection with Henan is to make it easy to mobilize the army. Secondly, the fertile land in eastern Henan can be thousands of miles away, and the military government can obtain enough land to reward the soldiers."

Gao Huan couldn't help but nod, "The Yellow River flooded and flooded my horse farm. Now the army has nearly 100,000 war horses, and the monthly consumption is even stronger than raising a 300,000 army. It is indeed necessary to block the gap and replant the forage, otherwise it will be difficult for the households to maintain it."

As he said that, Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Then send 20,000 prisoners, and then dispatch tens of thousands of civilians to let Li Yan block the Yellow River as soon as possible to solve the problems of military fields and horse farms."

"The king is wise!" Zhou Yanru immediately bowed.

At this time, Gao Huan asked again: "I defeated the Qing army in Shuanggou, seized countless soldiers and armor, and had countless horses. Within one or two years, our Liang army's combat power can be at least doubled. Do you think I should destroy the pseudo-Ming and Manchu Qing first, wipe out the north, or go south to seize the prosperous land in Jiangnan?"

Everyone looked at each other and knew that this issue was of great importance and would determine the future strategy of Liang State.

At this time, the hall couldn't help but talk, and Song Xiancai stepped out and said, "Report to the king! I think I will take advantage of his illness and take advantage of his illness to take advantage of his death. Since ancient times, most people have ruled the south in the north, while few people have ruled the north. The Qing Dynasty has just suffered heavy damage, so our army should take advantage of the victory to chase and wipe out the Northern Ming and the Qing Dynasty. In this way, we will unify the north, and the northern part is small, and the northern part is small, and the vassal states can obtain enough land and allocate it to the soldiers in the army."

A group of Liang generals in the lobby couldn't help but nod. The soldiers in the army were always full of expectations for the land, and immediately many people agreed and said that they should advance north.

"No!" At this time, Zhou Yanru came out and laughed: "I thought I should go south! Although the Qing army was defeated, its strength was still there, and the battle with it would be long and costly. Moreover, even if Jiannu was defeated, he could still retreat outside the pass, which could not be decided for a while. I thought it was easy to start and then difficult to wipe out the enemy in the south, and then go north to destroy the Qing Dynasty."
