This time Zuo Liangyu sneaked into Nanjing and occupied the land in the south of the Yangtze River.

In addition to the main force of the Liang army fighting against the Qing army at that time, the troops were restrained by the Qing army, which gave Zuo Liangyu a chance.

The main reason was the gentry and wealthy families in Jiangnan who were unwilling to lose all control of the Ming Dynasty, so they led the left army to Jiangnan.

In this way, Gao Huan's power was driven away. The commercial tax law that Gao Huan wanted to implement, as well as clearing the land and collecting grain from officials and gentry, could not be implemented.

With the arrival of Zuozhen, the reform of the Hongguang court was indeed interrupted, but the gentry in Jiangnan also suffered great losses.

They spent a lot of money to support Zuo Liangyu, and now Zuo Liangyu has been defeated and fled, which means that their previous investment has been wasted.

Now that Gao Huan has come back, he will definitely continue to implement the new law and continue to clear the land. They went around and finally returned to their original place.

After hearing Yang Yan's report, Gao Huan smiled and said, "Let's go! Come with me and take a look."

At that moment, Gao Huan led a group of generals out of the mansion and came to the door. Sure enough, he saw a group of gentry coming over with a blowjob.

In front of the team, a golden lacquer plaque with vigorous and powerful fonts, which is obvious at first glance. It can be said that it is particularly conspicuous.

At this time, the team stopped in front of the mansion, and Fang Fengnian immediately walked up to salute Gao Huan, "We congratulate King Liang for defeating the left thief and regaining Nanjing."

Gao Huan glanced at Fang Fengnian and many gentry behind him. When the Zuo Army was approaching Nanjing, it was these people who advocated to welcome Zuo Liangyu into the city. They really had the wind blowing to the side, and the people would fall to the side.

However, he did not hit the smiling person, Gao Huan smiled and said, "You don't have to wait like this. We should do whatever we should do. As long as you can obey the law and don't be clever anymore, I and the court will not harm you at will!"

Fang Fengnian and others had a little embarrassed face and could only salute: "Your Highness is wise!"

Gao Huan waved his hand, "I guess you have been poisoned by the left thief tea, so let's forget about the past. Wait and go back, I will accept the plaque."

Fang Fengnian heard Gao Huan's words and saw that he had put the plaque in his arms. He felt relieved and praised Gao Huan for his kindness. He put down the plaque and dispersed them.

Originally, everyone heard that Gao Huan wanted to return the property robbed by the Zuo Army, and wanted to ask if he could return the money he had robbed the Zuo Army and also return it to them, but he didn't dare to speak.

...

At this time, Gao Huan saw the many gentry dispersing, so he summoned everyone to enter the festival to discuss matters.

Gao Huan said: "This battle is a great victory, but it is not the time to reward merits. There are still a few things that everyone needs to do!"

When each general heard the words, he clasped his fists solemnly, "Please give orders to the king!"

Gao Huan nodded slightly, "The first thing is that although our army has taken Nanjing, there are still many prefectures and counties in the hands of the left army. Li Pingyuan, you will lead 10,000 people to sweep Su, Song, and Chang, and take down the three places. Then go south to Jiaxing and advance to Hangzhou."

"Here!" Li Pingyuan took the order solemnly.

Gao Huan then continued to order, "Wu Ruyi, you will lead 10,000 troops to advance southwest, pursue the left general Jin Shenghuan, collect the three prefectures of Chizhou, Huizhou and Ningguo, and beware of the great arts of Jiangxi Lu!"

"I accept the order!" Wu Ruyi bowed and clasped his fists.

Gao Huan looked at Liu Qi, "The Zheng Army Navy, traversing the Yangtze River, is a concern for my Daliang. I will give you ten thousand people, arrange forts along the river, and try to drive the Zheng Army Navy out of the Yangtze River."

Liu Qi bowed and said, "The last general will receive the order!"

Gao Huan glanced at the remaining people, "There are 30,000 people left behind in Nanjing, and the other 20,000 people will follow me to Yixing, Tianchang, take Huzhou, and then meet Li Pingyuan in Hangzhou."

"As for order!" The generals clasped their fists together.

Gao Huan nodded and waved his hand: "Let's take action separately!"

At present, each of them will disperse. Gao Huan sent a letter to Gao Youcai and Zhou Yanru to report the victory, and asked the Hongguang court to move back to Nanjing. Zhou Yanru also came to Jiangnan to preside over the government affairs of Jiangnan.

...

Yangzhou, the Hongguang imperial court was in charge.

Gao Youcai sat in the public room in a daze, holding a brush in his hand, forgot to write, and his whole body remained motionless.

Gao Huan sent troops to Jiangnan for some time, but the river was blocked by the Zheng army, so Yangzhou cannot know the situation in Jiangnan for the time being.

This made Gao Youcai very worried. After all, Gao Huan only brought 60,000 people across the river, while the left army in the south had 200,000, and the Zheng family's water and land armies had 200,000 people.

Now that the Zheng army navy blocks the river surface, Gao Huan is put in the south of the Yangtze River, which makes him, the old father, very worried.

After all, Gao Huan is now the hope of the Gao family. If he loses, the entire Gao family, thousands of people, may be killed in the future.

In contrast, Zhou Yanru, as a professional manager, was much calmer. He drank Longjing tea and looked at the official documents without any panic.

Gao Youcai's pen fell from his hand and fell on the rice paper. It was a huge piece of dirty things. Gao Youcai was so anxious that he cleaned up.

At this time, after he packed up, he found that Zhou Yanru was so calm on the side, and couldn't help but frown and asked, "Old Master Zhou, the army crosses the river. If it fails, I mean that if I make a mistake, I can't even retreat. I've been unable to sleep or eat these days, alas..."

Zhou Yanru put down the official document and comforted him: "Gaoge, please be careful and be confident in the King of Liang! The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are not enemies of the King of Liang. Now, the King of Liang leads 60,000 tigers across the river, and even if the tiger enters the flock of sheep, how can he be the left? Zheng people can compete!"

Having said that, Zhou Yanru was actually anxious, after all, he pressed all his treasures on Gao Huan.

As he was talking, he saw Gao Youwen coming in anxiously, holding a military report in his hand: "Jiangnan Military Daily."

As soon as he said this, Gao Youcai and Zhou Yanru stood up at the same time and asked in unison: "How?"

Gao Youwen smiled, "Great victory!"

After hearing this, Zhou Yanru's face remained calm and his butt slowly fell down. Gao Youcai hurriedly walked around the table and took it over to see it. Then he laughed and said, "Great victory! It's indeed a great victory! My son defeated Zuo Liangyu, recovered Nanjing, called us to cross the river, and handle the aftermath."

Gao Youwen looked at Gao Youcai, envious of him for giving birth to a good son, which completely surpassed his elder brother.

...

In Nanjing City, Gao Huan decided to take advantage of the victory and clean up Zheng Zhilong.

However, before leaving Nanjing, in order to maintain stability in Nanjing, Gao Huan finally had no time to go public to try the prisoners of the Left Army.

The next day, outside Nanjing, the Liang army initially screened and directly overwhelmed more than 2,000 left army officers outside the city and beheaded and displayed on the public.

This time, the Liang army captured 50,000 or 60,000 left army members. In order to prevent prisoner riots, Gao Huan picked out all the influential generals among the prisoners and then beheaded directly to control the prisoners.

Of course, Gao Huan claimed to the outside world that he wanted to kill them because they did many evil deeds and wanted to give the people an explanation.

The last time the mass murder in Nanjing was Gao Huan's purge of the old honors in Nanjing.

This time, Gao Huan recovered Nanjing and killed another group. It seemed that as long as Gao Huan came to Nanjing, there would be a killing.

At this time, the prisoners were taken to the city, and tens of thousands of people from Nanjing came to watch. Gao Huan then nodded slowly and ordered: "Cut it!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!" The execution drum sounded, and the people of Nanjing were instantly boiling and shouting loudly, "Kill them! Kill them!"

The people cried and cursed, waved their fists and rushed forward, as if they were about to break through the human wall composed of Liang soldiers.

At this time, hundreds of swords and axes and swordsmen hurriedly waved their long swords together and slashed them hard. The Zuo Jun immediately rolled down his head and blood spurted out.

When the onlookers saw the left army captives being killed, they immediately applauded and cheered together.

In the morning, Gao Huan killed the people and dealt with hidden dangers. In the afternoon, he led an army of 20,000 out of the city and rushed to Hangzhou.
