    In the channel of the canal, a group of official ships were struggling to move forward against the night wind.  The eight wind-dead ram's horn lanterns on the bow of the ship were blown from side to side by the wind, and the flat Song fonts on them became increasingly unclear.  However, the large and small ships moored in the canal are also veterans who have been around for a long time. Looking at the huge flag on the main mast and the dozens of guards standing proudly at the bow and stern of the ship with sabers in their hands and chests and bellies raised, they feel like  I know that the owner of this fleet is definitely not an ordinary person.  Maybe he was a relative of the Eight Banners in the DPRK, and Prince Baylor was also possible.  Someone made this judgment in their mind based on the glimpse of the several guards on the bow who had obvious Eight Banners Manchu facial features when the ship passed sideways.  Even though it¡¯s not in the middle, it¡¯s not far off.  Although the owner of the cabin of the largest official ship is not Prince Baylor, one of the Eight Banners of the DPRK, he is still a powerful figure.  Mr. Hong Chengchou was behind a desk, reading manuscripts and letters from various places in the imperial palace on the canal between Nanzhili and Shandong by the light of the cabin.  "However, Mr. Hong's focus is on several newspapers among a pile of letters and official documents.  "Shuntian Times" was published and distributed in the capital when Emperor Chongzhen was alive. Although it has gone through the great changes of Li Zicheng's entry into the capital and the changes in the world during the Ming, Shun and Qing dynasties, everyone's attention is often focused on power, official positions, gold, silver, children, wealth and silk.  In this place, a family of "poor literati" gather together. They just have some written books, which are not very profitable. They are not like the Ministry of War's Staff Department, which is in charge of the world's mountains and rivers. Naturally, no one pays attention to him.  Therefore, this newspaper miraculously survived.  Not only did it survive the most chaotic period, but it also restarted distribution after Shunzhi came to Beijing.  Regarding this newspaper, a group of former Ming Dynasty officials in the court wrote to the regent, "This is a remnant of the previous dynasty, dedicated to deceiving people. It is also a legacy of the Li family of the Southern Barbarians. They must not be allowed to stay in the capital. I and other begging generals  The mission of eradicating evil has been completed!" "However, for Dorgon, a newspaper is just a place where boring literati write some words and convey some news.  It's not a big deal to report to the imperial court.  He also looked for it. In addition to some news about the current situation, there was also information about product prices. The supplement was full of news about Fengyue places, which troupe had arranged new plays, and which actors had added new ones.  outfit, and this new outfit is the work of some old Douenke, a girl in a certain team picked up a brand and married someone to be a concubine, and what kind of national beauty and beauty recently appeared in a yard under the boss Lin Da?  of stunner.  Also, in which garden a certain technician has a unique skill, and which girl can be said to have both beauty and skill, virtue and beauty, and so on.  There are many kinds of them.  "Is this kind of thing worthy of my order to ban? It's a joke!" Dorgon said this.  In his opinion, there is not too much of this kind of thing but him.  Even if there is any harm, it is still spread among Han scholars.  You know, among the Eight Banners disciples, those who know Chinese characters and can use them skillfully are considered treasures.  Otherwise, officers, generals, and officials at all levels would not be equipped with pen posts around them.  The purpose is to use them to read and process official documents.  He left the matter of how to deal with the Sainty Times to Hong Chengchou, who was still in the capital at the time.  "I think it's better to keep this thing than to lock him up." Hong Chengchou replied.  Mr. Hong¡¯s reason is that the source of news and the speed of dissemination in newspapers are faster than official documents reported in the imperial palace.  "In this way, the slaves can also learn about the current situation in the world and make early plans for the master's decision." This reason of Hong Chengchou deeply touched the heart of Dorgon.  The same situation had been published in the newspaper for half a month, and the official report from the court had just arrived on his desk.  I really don¡¯t know how the slaves below do things.  Learning about the war ahead through the channel of Sainty Times was also an original creation of him and Hong Chengchou.  With the acquiescence of the regent and Hong Chengchou, the Shuntian Times naturally lived peacefully in the capital.  However, the newspaper's chief writer and others are also aware of their situation, and naturally they will not publish any forbidden or taboo words in the newspaper.  Today, Mr. Hong used the channel of Sainty Times to understand the latest developments from all parties, which can be regarded as tasting his own fruits.  But in the newspaper, although the words were very obscure, with many words like "transfer" and "rest", how could this kind of deception be concealed from Hong Chengchou, who was a master in this field?  "The thieves from all over southern Sichuan, fearing the power of heaven, hijacked the good people of various prefectures, burned their fields and houses and fled south." "General Aobai personally supervised and led his troops to attack Fushun, and he also made a contribution to the Qing Dynasty!" "  Ziliujing and other salt wells were burned and destroyed by the bandits, which slightly affected the price of salt in central Sichuan. "Prince An ordered the army to pursue the bandits. The bandits burned and burned heavily, and it was difficult for the soldiers to raise food and grass within a hundred miles.  , withdraw order?Luzhou and other places needed food.  " "The fierce flames are spreading!  On the way into Yunnan, the rebel Sun Kewang encountered an attack led by a loyal chieftain officer. He was frustrated and stopped moving forward. In a rage, he massacred dozens of official villages.  The good people were slaughtered, and the bad people rushed to join the bandits.  " "Arrogant!  The Western thieves fled across northern Yunnan with more than a thousand thieves and fled towards Kunming!  Along the way, the chieftains and officials in the village intercepted and killed them one after another. However, these people were all old thieves with excellent escape skills.  According to rumors, he has fled to the ground in southern Yunnan!  " The important news reports in these newspapers were excerpted by Hong Chengchou's copywriters and listed in front of him one by one. With these copies, Mr. Hong looked at the map under the oil lamp one by one to find the place names involved in the reports.  . As a senior bureaucrat, he is very familiar with the hidden subtext behind these official articles. He can keenly see the terrible truth behind the thick makeup. "Alas!  "Hong Chengchou sighed. From these trivial and abnormal news, through layers of fog, he gradually captured a terrible fact. "The Western thief Sun Ke is expected to lead troops into Yunnan and Guizhou. This is obviously  I want to imitate the story of the intruder and join Liang Guogong in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.  I'm afraid they will use the heads of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, their chieftains, officials, and even the Duke of Guizhou to make the pledge.  In exchange for Liang Guogong's accommodation and support for them.  That small team of more than a thousand people was probably the escort envoy heading to Ha Tinh to wait for Liang Guogong's lair!  "    "well!  Li Shouhan, you are really good at it!  "Looking at the notes he had made, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but feel cold sweat dripping from his head, and was blown by the wind on the river. He had a headache. "We provided food, grass and ammunition to the soldiers and horses of the West Camp, and sent coaches to train these hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Gradually,  Then turn the bandits from the Western Camp into your Southern Guangdong Army and let them fight with our Qing troops in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan.  well!  It's a pity that Prince An Yue Le, although he was wise and courageous in battle, he had little experience after all. He only saw the fighting on the battlefield, but never saw the fighting outside the battlefield.  I'm afraid that our troops on the Qing West Road will be trapped between Sichuan and Yunnan.  From then on, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses changed from live soldiers to dead soldiers stuck in one place. Not only could they not contribute to the Qing Dynasty's killing of enemies, but they became a bottomless pit of food and salary!  "Looking at the representation he made on the map, he saw hundreds of miles of food shortage and no-man's land across southern Sichuan. Most of the people here, mobilized by Sun Kewang's Western Army, went south into Yunnan to escape  Li Zongxiang announced to the people going south on behalf of Liang Guogong that as long as they are willing to go south, I will be responsible for your food rations along the way. When you get to the ground in Nanzhong, everything will be handled in accordance with the immigration and resettlement regulations!  Many people have also heard about the good days in Nanzhong, and although they are yearning for it, they can only stay in their imaginations. First, the Chinese people always think that a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as their own grass nest.  Anyone who can do something about it in his hometown is reluctant to travel thousands of miles. Secondly, how can he survive the thousands of miles of mountain road from southern Sichuan to Yunnan and then to Nanzhong, not to mention the wolves, insects, tigers and leopards along the way?  The bandits are strong, and the food rations on the road alone are enough to be daunting. Now, these two problems have been solved for you. Hundreds of thousands of people are marching south, and there are soldiers and horses guarding them along the way.  Why don¡¯t you go on such a good day? So, what was left to Yue Le in the originally prosperous and prosperous southern Sichuan area were ruins and artesian wells and tribute wells that were still smoking.  With no one to farm, no one to collect money and grain, and no salt to eat, the Qing army's hundreds of thousands of troops could only live on the food and grass shipped from the Chengdu Plain and from Shaanxi, Huguang and other places.  , we can¡¯t withdraw to get food, because once we retreat, the entire Sichuan, and even the entire Qing army¡¯s western front war, will immediately collapse. ¡°Alas!  Only today did I know why King Zhao urged the Zhao army to fight quickly during the Battle of Changping!  "Based on his own personal experience and looking at the war in front of him, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but make this judgment. Li Shouhan was in a good position for a long time. He had plenty of food, military pay and supplies, and he was not afraid of confrontation and consumption with the Qing army. As for the Qing army,  You may not be able to afford it! You may even be consumed to death!  grown ups!  "Outside the cabin, someone was knocking gently on the cabin door. "Come in!  "Following the book boy came a pen-poster. He was responsible for collecting and managing these letters, official documents, copies of title books and other documents. "Sir, I just purchased new newspapers from several southward sailing ships.  Please take a look.  "    "Um?  When they come south, how can they have newspapers that are newer than ours?  "Hong Chengchou's eyelids couldn't help but twitch a few times. The Bi Tie Shi had also been prepared and had done his homework in advance. He replied in a concise manner: "Your Excellency, you don't know. When they went south, someone went to Tianjin.  After a while, Tianjin WeiAlthough the commercial area has stopped, ships from the south still occasionally stop by to transport some products from the south. Naturally, some newspapers also come here.  " Hong Chengchou nodded and waved his hand to indicate that the pen postist could retreat. On the surface, he looked normal, but in his heart he felt as if oil was cooking on fire. "It's only more than two hundred miles from Tianjin to Beijing, and there are ships.  Li Shouhan was very good at using the navy.  Why not send the navy north to launch a surprise attack on the capital?  What's more, they are used to this sea route?  "Although we have traveled from Tianjin, most of the newspapers are still the Sainty Times published in the capital. I think the people who came to Tianjin on those few canal boats were just trading with a few bold smugglers to get themselves out of Tianjin."  It was just a matter of exchanging private goods with them. Supervisor Hong was naturally too lazy to take care of it. The contents of the newspaper had only been published in the past half month. "  General Zheng Nan set out from Jinling to march eastward, and all parts of southern Jiangsu came to see the wind.  The southern barbarians retreated one after another, and the officials and gentry from all over the country ate pots of pulp to welcome the king's army.  " "Suzhou, Changzhou and other places were defeated one after another, and the army's front was directed towards Songjiang.  " "Songjiang Prefecture, Jiading, Qingpu and other county towns recovered after a brief battle.  Nanman Li Huabao's troops are trapped in Shanghai County, Jinshanwei, Baoshan and other places, with the Eastern Sea behind them!  According to the confessions of the captured bandits, the Nanman tribesmen currently have no fighting spirit and just want to escape back to their hometown in Nanzhong as soon as possible.  " Not good! Governor Hong had dealt with the children of the Li family in Liaodong. He knew the temperaments of his nieces and nephews in these generations, and he also knew the education style of the children of the Li family from others. What's more, Li Shouhan was so powerful at the moment.  God, they are almost the same as Cao Cao and Li Yuan back then. There is only one opportunity left to reach a higher level. At this time, none of his sons are working hard to make achievements and add glory to their father.  As the legitimate son and the eldest son at present, why did he give up dozens of cities? Is it true that he has no fighting spirit and just wants to go back to his hometown and become a local emperor in his hometown? This is wrong!  There must be a conspiracy inside! ¡°Quick!  Go get maps of Songjiang Prefecture, Shanghai County, Shanghai Business District, etc.!  " After Duduo entered Nanjing, Hong Chengchou also followed Xiao He's example when he entered Xianyang. The other Eight Banners relatives and Qing army generals were busy collecting gold and silver, looking for women, collecting antiques, etc. Well, the specific actions were just like those of the National Army.  During the reception, Hong Chengchou paid attention to collecting the books, albums, maps, documents, etc. from the Hongguang court, and ordered them to be sorted out by category and transported northward to the capital to be handed over to Yousi.  . Of course, in this process, if he did not make a copy for himself when recording historical materials like Eunuch Sima did, he would select some copies that he thought were useful during the collection and organization process.  It's a lie. The maps of Jiangnan and Nanzhong, the biographical information of the Li family and the generals of the Southern Guangdong Army were found in the files of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although they are not very detailed, many of them only have the names of three generations of ancestors.  What are the merits of any position in a certain year and a certain month, etc. However, for Governor Hong and the entire Qing court, they at least had a little understanding of the South Cantonese Army from almost a blank look.  The regent Dorgon ordered people to further sort out these archives, compile them into volumes, and distribute them to the royal family members, banner leaders, and generals at the level of Maile Zhangjing, with the title "Southern Love General Essentials".  . Well, it is similar to the "Collection of Thieves" about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It is the basic information for the Eight Banners generals to understand the Southern Guangdong Army. As for the Green Camp, including Pingxi King Wu Sangui, I am sorry that the people below may have forgotten them.  After all, Wu Sangui is Li Huamei¡¯s godson, and he knows the situation of the Southern Guangdong Army better than anyone else. (There is no need to worry that leaking secrets will cause internal conflicts such as rifts and disunity within the Qing army. You know, before the middle of the Qing Dynasty,  The soldiers of the Eight Banners all use the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a kind of military strategy, and they often keep a novel secret until they are very drunk.  The Han officers looked at it. Not to mention such an awesome collection of information.) Several Gesheha took out dozens of volumes of maps of various sizes from the back cabin, and spread them out on the carpet in the cabin for Hong.  Your Excellency is on top giving instructions to thousands of troops: "How is the situation in Hangzhou?"  "Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou did not ask about the military situation in the east, but first asked about the war in Hangzhou on the west front. "It's pretty stable.  " According to the military report, the southern generals Bellebolo and Turge, leading the hundreds of thousands of troops, have already deployed in Zhejiang. Relying on the Qiantang River, they have killed tens of thousands of former Dashun troops from the Zhejiang-Jiangxi border in the west.  The soldiers and horses started fighting back and forth.The banner has been changed, but those fighting on the battlefield in Zhejiang are all old rivals.  Former Ming Army and former Peasant Army.  We both know each other well. Even though you have shaved your hair and braided your hair, do you think I don¡¯t recognize you?  After several rounds, more than 100,000 Qing troops were defeated by tens of thousands of South Cantonese troops, losing more than they won.  However, relying on the strength of their numbers, relying on Wu Feiluan's powerful raids in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, and the military's military pay, food and grass support, the Qing army has not yet shown signs of decline.  However, we cannot relax a little bit, because large groups of people are constantly entering Zhejiang from Jiangxi, Fujian and other places.  Relying on several rivers and the materials hoarded in Fujian over the years, there is no need to worry about supplies and food. The various units that have just been reorganized from the Dashun Army into the Southern Guangdong Army have strong morale and extremely strong combat effectiveness.  Moreover, there are more than 20,000 troops under Shi Lang's direct command behind him, watching like a tiger with sharpened claws. As long as Bolo's battle line is slightly loosened, it will probably be a collapse situation.  "How is the situation in Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture?" Mr. Hong was very surprised. After hearing about the fighting between the Qing Army and the South Guangdong Army on the Zhejiang battlefield, he was noncommittal.  Just ask about the progress of the war in the Songjiang area on the Eastern Front.  Several Bi Tieshi and Goshiha secretly speculated that it was probably because General Luck Dehun personally led the troops on the east route, so Governor Hong had to pay attention to it, right?  !  "There is nothing to worry about on the east road. No matter how hard Li Huamei can fight, she will only be defeated by us in Tashan! We are not afraid when she attacks, let alone they are defending now!" A Gesheha muttered.  A few words.
