The Daxi Army and Guangxinwei disguised as the Daxi Army almost won consecutive victories in the remnants of the Qing army in Huguang. The Qing court seemed to have completely given up on Huguang. The Qing army in Fujian and Guangdong had no intention of sending troops to reinforce, but instead retreated, as if they were planning to resist stubbornly.

In theory, this is indeed feasible.

There were a large number of Qing troops in Fujian and Guangdong, and many were elite Han flag troops, such as the Han army of the Inlaid Blue Flag of King Shang Kexi of Zhishun, Geng Jimao's Zhenghuang Flag of the King of Huaishun, and the Han army of the Zhenglan Flag of the Guangdong Admiral Li Chengdong who had just inherited his father, and the Han army of the Zhenglan Flag of the Guangdong Admiral Li Chengdong who had survived several times.

Adding up all the things, the Qing army in Fujian and Guangdong still has 170,000 or 80,000. After all, it is enough to keep itself.

After pacifying tens of thousands of Qing troops in Huguang, Li Dingguo agreed with Wu Zheng's view that he no longer transferred the troops west to "recruit" the remnants of the Dashun Army, which was fighting against the Qing army in Shaanxi and Gansu, but instead transferred the main force to Guangxi. At the same time, Gao Yigong Guangxin Guard attacked Guangdong.

The Battle of Guangdong and Guangxi is in an imminent stage.

At this time, the Qing court finally took action.

Chen Mingxia, the Minister of Han of the Qing Dynasty, was ordered to go to Jiangnan for envoyment, but Chen Mingxia and his party were suspended for several days in Yanzhou.

....

"General Shen should be clear that Prince Rui is not the regent. With his ability, he will never be able to compete with the court. The emperor has taken charge. If the court decides to reduce the vassal states, what should the general do? Please think twice... This official is a general and may have more than that in his words, but the profound meaning of planning for the general in his words can only be expressed by heaven."

Chen Mingxia raised his wine glass and continued in a slightly "tragic" tone: "The strong enemy in the northwest, southwest and southeast are surrounded by strong enemies. With the ability of the general, he will lead 30,000 tigers and the time to establish merits... At that time, on the day of being the king and being the prime minister, Chen still needs more support from the general."

Shen Zhiyuan smiled and played with the wine glass in his hand, and suddenly said, "As far as Shen knows, Chen Xiang should have a lot of contact with the south side, right?"

Chen Mingxia's face changed and she said in a deep voice: "What does the general mean? Are you going to frame Chen?"

Shen Zhiyuan smiled and shook his hand, "Don't be anxious. When the building is about to collapse, leave a way out for yourself and there is no blame... However, do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you... What path Chen Xiang chooses? Zhiyuan has no intention to block it. So what path Zhiyuan chooses, why should Chen Xiang worry more?"

....

The banquet ended halfway through the journey.

Chen Mingxia did not give up because of this, so he went to another banquet.

Unlike before, the former is Chen Mingxia’s Dong, the latter is Ganglin, and Qi Chongge’s Dong.

Things in the world are so ridiculous.

Chen Mingxia was a Han official, and the former Ming official surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

But Ganglin was a perfect man, and there was no big intersection between the two.

But Chen Mingxia is good at political communication and is very close to Sony. At the same time, she is also very close to Dorgon's previous confidant Tan Tai.

Tan Tai was killed during the first battle of the Northern Expedition Army crossing the river. Before his death, he was also held the title of Minister of the Qing Dynasty's Ministry of Personnel.

Sony and Tan Tai are the absolute political enemies.

Ganglin also had an intersection with Chen Mingxia because of Tan Tai. When the two met, they could be said to have "studyed the same thing" and since then they became unremarkable.

This time, Chen Mingxia was ordered to go out of the capital as an imperial envoy, because Chen Mingxia and Ganglin had a friendship.

....

"Brother Baishi is probably because of the crisis in Fujian and Guangdong?"

Ganglin invited me to drink and said, "Don't blame me for being indifferent. Brother Baishi is afraid that it will be difficult for him to succeed... Wu Zheng is as stubborn as Li Dingguo, just like he was born to oppose our clan. Look, first Prince Yu, then Prince Rui, and even Prince Duanzhong has been detained in Hangzhou Prefecture for several years... It is too difficult to make Wu Zheng look at it on the wall."

Qi Chongge said with a drunken heart: "That's right, I heard that the pseudo-Jin King Li Dingguo sent his son and daughter to Hangzhou Prefecture. What did he want to do? He just used his children as a quality in exchange for new firearms in Jiangnan... It is reported that the battle of Huguang was so sharp that the Daxi military firearms were comparable to the Northern Expedition Army... Alas, the new army of our dynasty was built, not as much as the enemy... there were many."

Chen Mingxia held the wine glass and listened "focused".

Compared to the previous one, Chen Mingxia is much quieter.

However, after Qi Chongge finished speaking, Chen Mingxia still spoke, "The emperor knew that the two were loyal ministers. Before coming, he summoned me to the palace and specifically told me to tell you that as long as you are loyal to the court, you can not only be unrestrained in the past, but also reward you for your merits... I missed this time... it is hard to say, but you have to cherish it."

Ganglin and Qi Chongge looked at each other, and their faces suddenly changed.

Ganglin said: "Since Lord Chen has pointed out his words, I will not go around in circles... Now Yanzhou is all under the hands of Shen Zhiyuan. Prince Rui has handed over all military and political affairs to Shen Zhiyuan and decided... Lord Chen, it's not that we don't want to be loyal to the emperor, but we can't do it."

Chen Mingxia smiled and said, "If it were someone else, he might be powerless, but Shen Zhiyuan has one of the biggest weaknesses, that is, he is a Han person... Putting aside the 30,000 new troops under his command, the rest of the Yanzhou army are loyal to the court. At least Man Erqi cannot obey a Han person and contrast with the court... Why not start from this point, sir?"

After Ganglin and Qi Chongge looked at each other again, Qi Chongge said: "Please tell me clearly, what do the emperor want us to do?"

Chen Mingxia bowed to the north and said, "The emperor ordered Shen Zhiyuan to be recruited. If it fails, he can alienate Prince Rui's relationship with him. The ownership of Yanzhou is related to the great cause of the court for thousands of years... If the two make great contributions, I will never give up on him."

Ganglin, Qi Chongge stood up and bowed his knees and bowed down, "I will follow the emperor's oral order."

....

Prince Rui's Mansion.

Compared with the royal palace of Shuntian Prefecture, the royal palace of Ziyang City occupies more land and has a more magnificent momentum.

Dorbo looked at Shen Zhiyuan with a respectful look, "Since the prince-in-law thinks that Ganglin and Qi Chongge will secretly surrender to the court, why not take down the two of them... once and for all?"

Shen Zhiyuan sipped wine and shook his head and said, "No. The new prince's foundation in Yanzhou is not stable. Although Ganglin and Qi Chongge are the prince's ministers, once they take down the two, it is equivalent to telling the emperor that the prince intends to become independent and breaks up with the court at this time, which is not in the interests of the prince... In addition, these two people were left to assist the prince after all. After all, the previous king left behind the prince to assist the prince. The previous king's corpse was cold, so they dealt with these two people, for fear that it would trigger a rebound from the previous king's old ministers. This is unwise."

"Then... will you let this traitor be under my nose?"

Shen Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Since the prince already knows what these two people are going to do, it's not enough to worry... and let them live a few more days."
