? In the first year of the Republic of China, the Yellow Emperor calendar was 4339, and AD was 1642.
?February 5th in the new calendar, February 14th in the old calendar.
Zhao Han took two thousand personal guards, some ten Cao officials, some female officials, and Zhongshu Sheren, and set off from Nanjing for the imperial conquest.
After Zheng Zhilong's surrender, the customs tax was greatly increased. The royal family's annual budget also increased directly from one hundred thousand taels of silver to three hundred thousand taels.
No one raised any objections. According to the current annual revenue, the bottom line for civil servants is to give the royal family two million taels. If it exceeds two million taels, there will be financial problems, and many officials will come to persuade them.
Zhao Han only needs 300,000 taels, which is enough for the civil servants, and he plans to raise it to 500,000 next year.
? Step by step, each has its own room.
The fleet followed the Grand Canal to Huai'an and changed to the Huaihe River, all the way to Xuzhou City.
Fei Ruhe, the commander of the First Division of the Datong Army, and Chen Bangyan, the magistrate of Xuzhou, each led their men out of the city to meet Yujia.
Chen Bangyan was the head of the three loyalists in Lingnan. When Zhao Han first conquered Guangdong, this gentleman was reluctant to be an official. However, he has always insisted on writing letters to local officials, proposing various feasible suggestions for governing Guangdong.
A year later, officials at all levels in Guangdong recommended Chen Bangyan to be an official, saying that he is a great talent in civil affairs.
?The Ministry of Officials (it was also called the Department of Official Selection at the time) sent a special person to investigate, found that the situation was true, and finally reported it to Zhao Han.
Only the emperor can overpromote officials!
After reading various investigation materials, Zhao Han also felt that it was a pity that this person did not become an official. So he personally ordered the conquest, and Chen Bangyan was ordered to go out of the mountain happily. His first job was to be the county magistrate.
A friend from the same village asked: "If you want to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, why did you become the county magistrate of the new dynasty before the Ming Dynasty died?"
Chen Bangyan said: "During the period of the Ding Revolution, we should not stick to this, and the people of the Li people should be the most important. I made dozens of suggestions and suggestions, all of which were adopted by the new dynasty, and Guangdong is already thriving. Since the governor (Zhao Han) has conquered the land, why should he be stingy?" With an old man, how can he govern the world well?"
After entering the city, Zhao Han didn't ask about the military, but asked about people's livelihood: "What's the weather like in Xuzhou this year?"
Chen Bangyan looked happy: "It's only February, but there have been two spring rains. Last winter was not too cold, and there was auspicious snow. This year's wheat harvest in Xuzhou must be bumper!"
"That's good." Zhao Han was also very happy.
Chen Bangyan said: "The local people in Xuzhou all say that there has been a severe drought for several years, and that God is not beautiful. However, His Majesty has governed Xuzhou for less than two years. Last year, it was only a minor disaster. This year, there will be spring rain. This must be the destiny, and the sky is also happy." Your Majesty is Emperor."
Zhao Han couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. has also learned to flatter."
Chen Bangyan smiled and said: "Sentences are true, not flattery, Your Majesty is really the Lord of Destiny."
"Hahahaha!" Zhao Han laughed.
Zhao Han turned his head to look at Fei Ruhe again: "Has the front line moved yet?"
Fei Ruhe replied: "We have dispatched troops to Henan."
This time, Zhao Han did his best. If he didn't fight, he wouldn't fight.
Although it has been said that there is not enough food, there is always a squeeze. Zhao Han mobilized more than 100,000 troops and more than 200,000 civilians. Taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Manchu Qing, he took the initiative to attack, at least to occupy Henan and Shandong!
The first division, Fei Ruhe. Stationed in Xuzhou, he can guard against Zuo Liangyu in Shandong, and can also enter Henan along the Huaihe River at critical times.
The second division, Zhang Tieniu. Stationed in Yizhou, it specializes in fighting Zuo Liangyu, and can also support Huang Fei in the Shandong Peninsula. When necessary, go straight to Tianjin by sea!
The third division, Li Zheng. Stationed in Dangshan, has attacked Henan, the goal is Yucheng of Guide Mansion.
The fourth division, Xiao Zongxian. Stationed in Bozhou, has attacked Henan, the target is Luyi of Guide Mansion.
The Fifth Division, Jiang Liang. Stationed in Yingzhou, they have already attacked Henan, targeting Shenqiu and Xiangcheng in Kaifeng Prefecture.
The sixth division, Jiang Dashan. Stationed in Xiping, has attacked Henan, the goal is the city of Kaifeng.
The seventh division, Huang Shun. Stationed in Yexian County, has attacked Henan, and the goal is Xiangcheng in Kaifeng Prefecture.
The Eighth Division, Liu Zhu. Stationed in Nanzhao, he has already attacked Henan, and his target is Lushan County in Ruzhou (Luyang Pass is in the hands of Zhao Han, just go out to fight directly).
The Ninth Division, Huang Yao, is attacking Sichuan.
The Tenth Division, Liu Xinyu, is encroaching on Guangxi.
The 11th Division, Hu Dinggui, is making a surprise attack on Liaodong.
There is also Lu Xiangsheng's cavalry brigade, with 3,000 Xiao cavalry and 2,000 dragoon cavalry.
Except for the Eighth Division and the Ninth Division, each division has 2,500 cavalry, which can be assigned to Lu Xiangsheng at the time of the decisive battle.

Zuo Liangyu was unwilling to do anything: "Isn't Mr. Hou the governor of Shandong in the Qing Dynasty?"
Feng Quan said: "This man cheated the city to persuade him to surrender. He has been in Shandong for almost half a year, but he has not made any progress. He just wanted to take the opportunity to flee south. Fortunately, the regent Wang Yingming sent people to monitor and guard day and night."
Zuo Liangyu still wants to be a fool, and surrendering to the Manchu Qing is just a stopgap measure.
The North-South War has broken out. If the Datong Army wins, he wants to turn against him at a critical moment. What about shaved hair and braids? Hair can still grow back!
Hou Xun's heart is obviously towards Nanjing. If he really kills Hou Xun, it will be tantamount to cutting off his retreat.
Zuo Liangyu said: "Mr. Hou is my old benefactor, and now he is the governor of the Qing Dynasty. I really dare not kill him. It is better to send him back to Beijing and hand him over to the regent."
Feng Quan thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's okay."
?On February 25th of the new calendar, Zuo Liangyu announced his surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and was canonized as Pingnan King by Dorgon.
?The news came out that Huang Fei, who occupied the Second Mansion of Denglai, announced that he would leave Zuo Liangyu, change his banner and join the Datong Army, and immediately sent troops to attack Qingzhou Mansion. Zhang Tieniu cooperated and fought one east and one south, sandwiching Qingzhou Mansion.
Ma Jinzhong, who was born as a bandit, also announced his separation from Zuo Liangyu, and led his troops south to join Fei Ruhe.
At the same time, Hong Chengchou and Duoduo moved to Shandong, and the frontier troops surrendered to do more looting. The plague in Shandong was serious, and it was exploited by Zuo Liangyu, and now the Manchu Qing came to loot again. For a while, the uprising army was everywhere, and they all unfurled the banner of the Datong Army.
Hong Chengchou and Duoduo went straight to Qufu, and the Kong family in Qufu knelt down. The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.
