Gao Huan returned to Nanjing from Hangzhou, and the Zheng family navy retreated from the Yangtze River to Chongming Island.

This navy was led by Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Sen. Once the Liang army went south to attack the Zheng family, or built a fort along the river, he would go up the river and enter the chief again.

There was such a navy army, and the Yangtze River channel at the door of Chen Bing's house might be cut off by Zheng Zhilong's navy at any time, which made Gao Huan feel very unhappy, but there was no way for the time being.

Ten years of army, hundred years of navy.

Now Gao Huan is elite in the stance of horses and horses, but the navy still does not have enough to see it.

Last year, although the Liang army defeated the Qing army and the Left army, they also lost tens of thousands of troops.

Now the army is less than 300,000, and there are 60,000 people fighting in Jiangnan, so it is difficult to advance to Fujian in one breath.

Gao Huan decided to stabilize and expand his army to 500,000, and then swept the southeast.

Now it is difficult to advance to Fujian on land for a while, and the Zheng family navy has been scattered on the sea for decades. The Liang army navy has temporarily been unable to drive away the Zheng family navy entrenched in Chongming.

In the early morning, firecrackers were heard from time to time in Nanjing, and the children were already running around the streets and playing.

Although the people in Nanjing suffered a disaster this year and all households suffered a lot of losses, fortunately, the Liang army defeated the Left Army, and the people in Jiangnan had a strong foundation and had a stronger ability to fight risks than those in the northern people, so they could barely have a New Year.

During the twelfth lunar month, Princess Liang arrived in Nanjing from Luoyang, which made the palace more popular.

Gao Huan has been with the princess for nearly three years, but he has no children so far.

Cao's old subordinates also asked his wife to visit the palace and asked tactfully if the king had any hidden secrets or if the princess needed to take care of her body.

This put a lot of pressure on the princess. She heard from Hong Niangzi that the old ministers of the Liang Kingdom and the Gao clan members were already discussing privately that they would take a concubine to Gao Huan.

Now Gao Huan is the King of Liang, and may still be the emperor in the future. Those who want to be Gao Huan's father-in-law can line up from Luoyang to Nanjing.

Luo Guiying knew that when she arrived at Gao Huan's position, she would also take some women into the palace for political needs in the future to appease and form all forces.

This is inevitable for newcomers to enter the palace.

Therefore, he had to come out with his husband's son before Gao Huan began to take a concubine to consolidate his position.

After hearing this, the princess couldn't sit still in Luoyang, so she hurriedly rushed to Nanjing with Li Yan and other ministers to celebrate the New Year with King Liang.

In the early morning, before dawn, Gao Huan was still sleeping soundly, and was woken up by the princess.

Gao Huan opened her eyes and saw her lying naked on her body, her chest was soft and she was crushed directly, and her blood couldn't help but sink.

Gao Huan was both angry and comfortable when he saw this. He turned over and pressed her under him. The two of them smiled knowingly. Luo Guiying looked shy and a fierce battle was about to break out.

At this time, Gao Huan suddenly got up, rolled her into the quilt, rolled her into a curly caterpillar, and threw it beside the bed.

"My dear concubine! I will discuss major issues with many dear ministers today. I won't be able to do this morning!" Gao Huan sat up quickly from the bed, put on his clothes, and walked out of the hall.

When Gao Huan came out, Luo Guiying had already asked the palace maid to prepare clothes for him and make hot water.

Seeing that Gao Huan had come out so early, the palace maids were stunned and hurriedly stepped forward to put on a dragon robe and a winged crown for Gao Huan.

At this time, Gao Huan went to wash his hands, but was burned.

The palace maid was so scared that she quickly accused him of the crime, "I don't know that the king got up so early, so I would like to ask the king to atone for his sins."

Gao Huan did not blame him, and asked him to add some cold water, wash his face, and eat some porridge. Then he hurriedly left, leaving the palace maids whispering, all wondering that the king was getting up earlier and earlier.

At this time, Gao Huan came to the front court hall and found that the minister had not come yet, only Li Yan stood in the yard.

"Mr. Li is so early!" Gao Huan smiled slightly.

When Li Yan saw Gao Huan, he hurriedly saluted: "I will meet the king."

Gao Huan waved his hand, "Go to the side hall to sit!"

The two of them came to the side hall, and the guards lit the stove and poured hot tea.

Gao Huan said directly: "This time Daliang occupied Jiangnan. I don't plan to hand over Jiangnan to the Hongguang court again, but are planning to be directly governed by the vassal government. What do you think?"

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Report to the king, the last time the king occupied Nanjing, the people of Jiangnan were unfaithful. In order to get out as soon as possible and return to the Qing Dynasty, the king supported Zhu Yousong as the emperor and used the name of the Ming Dynasty as a buffer to control the land of Jiangnan. Now, the king occupied Nanjing again, and the power of our Daliang military forces has already shocked the world. Now, unlike the past, I think that Daliang can directly control Jiangnan."

Gao Huan nodded when he heard the words, and then smiled and said, "If you directly control Jiangnan, a group of officials from the Hongguang court will enter the vassal state to serve. Many old ministers in Daliang should not exclude them!"

With the two teams integrated, Gao Huan had to say something to Li Yan first to avoid fighting each other.

As the territory expands, Liang's administrative system will inevitably attract more talents, and it is impossible to continue to maintain the Henan Gang.

After all, Gao Huan was not going to establish a national military colonial rule of the Henan military group, but it represented not only the interests of Henan, but also the establishment of a unified central dynasty.

Li Yan said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Don't worry, the fall of the Ming Dynasty began with party struggles. As long as they are loyal to Daliang, how can the ministers and others have any opinions?"

Gao Huan nodded when he heard the words, "Mr. What gentleman said is reasonable. If they are not loyal to Daliang, I will not let them go."

At this time, Gao Huan said again: "If the land in Jiangnan is included in our Daliang rule, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, I will give Jiangnan two places to discuss politics. But I am also worried that the gentry in Jiangnan will join forces and Donglin will rekindle, can you have a solution?"

After this Zuozhen Rebellion, the attitudes of some gentry in Jiangnan gradually changed.

The families of the gentry who were sent to labor reform were also moving around, saying that they had reformed themselves and hoped that Gao Huan could let them go home.

Among them, Qian Qianyi's concubine Liu Rushi heard that Gao Huan returned to Nanjing from Hangzhou, and even found Gao Huan directly, hoping to receive it on behalf of Qian Qianyi.

It is still time to compete for the world, Gao Huan needs the gentry of Jiangnan to cooperate with the reform and provide financial and grain support, so he is preparing to appoint a group of Jiangnan people.

However, Jiangnan has a prosperous culture and education, with a large number of gentry members. There are ten scholars in the world, eight of whom are from Jiangnan, and they also like to form cliques and fight in groups, which makes Gao Huan hesitant.

Li Yan pondered for a moment and smiled and said, "King, I have a plan!"

Gao Huan couldn't help asking, "He Ce? Please tell me sir."

Li Yan stretched out two fingers and said in a deep voice: "This strategy is called "Two Taos kill three soldiers!"

Gao Huan's eyes lit up, "I hope to hear the details!"

Li Yan explained: "The king released the news that the vassal state would select four people in Jiangnan to serve as political discussions, so that the vassal state would launch four respected people to be appointed by the vassal state."

Li Yan paused and continued: "The gentry of Jiangnan is passionate about officialdom. They are not stupid people. Now they know the potential of my Daliang. In order to have a place in the new dynasty, they will inevitably participate actively. The four people launched must be respected among Jiangnan gentry."

Gao Huan smiled and took over the conversation, "Then the vassal state chooses two of the four and lets them compete with each other."

"The king is wise!" Li Yan smiled and said, "Of these four people, the vassal state can choose. Two of them who are not qualified should be appointed as the political consultant, the prestige should be dismissed, and some news will be released. I think the gentry in Jiangnan will be harder to be together."

Gao Huan nodded slightly, "This plan is very wonderful! Before, the Donglin Party had already split. Now that this strategy is adopted, Jiangnan will definitely be controlled by me!"

Gao Huan suddenly realized that Li Yan was not an idealist as he thought. At least now, he was much more mature.

Before, Gao Huan was worried that after Zhou Yanru and others entered Liang Guofan's mansion, his direct forces would not be opponents. Now it seems that he doesn't have to worry too much.

At this time, outside the side hall, the guards suddenly reported: "King, all the lords have arrived!"

Gao Huan heard the words, then stood up and smiled and said, "Mr. Li, please come with me!"
