After Xiao Tianjian took a puff of cigarettes, he put down the dry tobacco pouch, thinking about whether he would have to make a cigar or a cigarette in the future, which would be more refreshing to smoke, after all, the dry tobacco thing is too punchy, and the taste is not very good.

After watching the ministers have enough to drink and eat, Xiao Tianjian turned the conversation to matters related to the south, asked the ministers for advice, and saw what the ministers had about the current situation in the south.

So these Wenchen generals immediately began to discuss, but soon formed a few opinions, with Shi Ran, Liu Yaoben and Liu Jiang these military people's opinions, they are absolute advocates of force, is the standard main battle faction, the military advocates immediately gather forces, start to the south as soon as possible, start an attack on Fujian and Yunnan, and directly use force to kill the two newly established small courts of the Southern Ming Dynasty to pull down, after all, their military now has full confidence in the combat effectiveness of the large Chinese army, thinking that only 100,000 troops are needed, it will be enough to sweep through the southern provinces.

However, there are many people on the Wenchen side, who believe that the southern environment is harsh, it is not easy to use troops, and the current finances of the Dazhong Dynasty are not abundant, and if they rely on force to conquer the southern provinces, it will bring great pressure to the finances, let them pinch each other for a while, and after their own heads are broken and their strength is exhausted, it is not too late to send troops south to wipe them out in one fell swoop, so that they can easily solve the resistance of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty in the southern provinces.

Of course, some people also suggested that it was now possible to pay equal attention to grace and power, and on the one hand to oppress the southern provinces by force, and at the same time lobby the officials of the southern provinces to persuade them to surrender to the Great China and Korea, and to appease them, so as to reduce the damage to the south and unify the south as soon as possible.

Xiao Tianjian did not intervene in these opinions, let them express their opinions to argue, and then silently smoked a dry tobacco pouch, totaling it in his heart.

When the ministers in the hall discussed for a long time, Xiao Tianjian basically understood the three opinions they formed, so he asked, "Jiang Qin!" I have come to ask you, how has your Special Intelligence Department done during this time regarding the infiltration of the South? ”

Jiang Qin, as the deputy of the special intelligence department under the military department, also attended the court meeting this time, but he never had a chance to speak, so he stayed behind without showing the dew, maintaining the unique low profile of their special intelligence department, when he heard Xiao Tianjian ask him about the affairs of the south, Jiang Qin stood up and replied: "Qi Song Sheng, our special intelligence department has sent a lot of manpower to the southern provinces in the past six months, but the specific matter, the minister thought that he could not say it publicly here, so as not to reveal the rumors, and I hope you adults will not be surprised!" ”

Xiao Tianjian looked at the sky, and nearly two hours had passed, seeing that if he didn't disperse, he would have to take care of the dinner of these guys again, so he smiled and said: "I can understand, and you Aiqing should also be understandable!" After all, what the special situation does is not an ordinary thing, today's court meeting ends here, what I ordered today, you will immediately go down to arrange, I hope you remember, I am the most taboo is that you pass the buck between each other, everything that is decided, must be carried out vigorously, and there is no slack!

We can do wrong, but we are not allowed to procrastinate, we can correct mistakes, but I will never allow procrastination!

In addition, the military headquarters will replenish the equipment for the Second Guards Division as soon as possible, expand the Second Guards Division into two divisions on the spot, complete the supplementary training within three months, and before the beginning of next year, it must reach the level of being able to fight, and the number will be ...... 4th Guards Division! Liu Yaoben temporarily acted as the commander of the two divisions!

In addition, the Fourth Town Army should also be prepared and dispatch 30,000 troops to assemble in Wenzhou Mansion in Zhejiang Province and Jianchang Mansion in Jiangxi Province first, so as to put pressure on Fujian Province, but don't rush to do it first! However, you can attack the Ganzhou Mansion that has not yet announced the surrender of our dynasty, and take down the Ganzhou Mansion first, and at the same time form an oppression on Guangdong!

In addition, he sent a decree to Luo Rucai and Li Xuanzhu, ordering them to assemble the elite of the Third Town Army in Changsha, Hengzhou, and Yongzhou, but to tell Li Xuanzhu not to ignore the defense of northern Sichuan, and to strictly prevent Li Zicheng from being beaten by Yan Chongxi and Liu Bao, and lead the army into Sichuan, and fight Li Zicheng without their second town, but if Li Zicheng tries to flee south to Sichuan, he will go as much as I can eat! Make no mistake!

In this way, we can stagger two major battles at the same time, and it is estimated that by the beginning of next year, the war in the northwest will basically be over!

Of course, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households must also be prepared to take over the northwestern regions, and as soon as the war is over, they must resume the government affairs in that area as soon as possible! Those places are not as good as Shandong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to recover, so we must send capable people to Shaanxi!

That's the end of today's pilgrimage, if there is nothing important, let's disperse! …… Jiang Qin and Lu Weiqi stayed! ”

Xiao Tianjian returned to the harem very late, and no one knew what Jiang Qin and Lu Weiqi said to Xiao Tianjian when they stayed in the Fengtian Hall after the dispersal of the dynasty, but in the few days after Jiang Qin and Lu Weiqi left the palace, one by one the old officials of the Ming Dynasty who had been captured in Nanjing City began to quietly leave Nanjing City, or go to sea by boat in Ningbo Mansion, or go south by land, and begin to go south.

Among them, there are many figures like Qian Qianyi, a member of the former dynasty, and some are also officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing, most of these people did not have time to escape from Nanjing City when the Xingtian Army besieged Nanjing City, and fell into the hands of the Xingtian Army after the city was broken.

More than half a year of confinement life does not seem to affect them too much, these people have never been enabled by Xiao Tianjian, but depressed in Nanjing City, confined to their homes, but for some reason, these people were suddenly lifted by the Great Middle Korea, and then quietly left Nanjing City with some domestic servants and ran to the Liangguang area of Fujian.

And Xiao Tianjian seemed to be very busy in the days after the court meeting, so much so that even Fan Yutong and the other imperial concubines didn't know what he was doing when he went out of the palace every day.

In short, in the following days, Xiao Tianjian's actions were quite secretive, and often after the morning dynasty, he took a few personal guards such as Tietou out of the palace, and soon disappeared into the bustling city of Nanjing.

After that, the Great Chinese Dynasty seemed to turn all its attention to the war in the northwest, but there was little mention of the two small Southern Ming courts that were now supported in the south, but after October, the Fourth Town Army began to mobilize significantly, and the troops were divided into two ways to gather in Wenzhou, Zhejiang and Jianchang, Jiangxi, and began to form a pincer pressure on Fujian, but it did not immediately launch an offensive towards the Fujian area under the jurisdiction of Emperor Shaowu of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

However, at the end of October, Shi Ran personally led a large number of soldiers and horses to launch an offensive against Ganzhou, and in just half a month, he defeated a Ming army of Zheng Zhilong guarding Ganzhou, conquered Ganzhou, and made the Great Chinese Dynasty completely control the entire territory of Jiangxi.

The situation in the south did not become stable because of the establishment of the two small Southern Ming courts, with the two Southern Ming emperors Shaowu and Yongli ascending the throne respectively, both sides announced to the world, declaring that they were orthodox and that they inherited the mantle of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Dynasty.

At the same time, in order to strengthen their own strength, the two small imperial courts successively absorbed the old officials of the Ming Dynasty who fled from the north to the southern provinces, and entrusted them with important tasks and set up their own teams.

The result of the two parties not giving in to each other can be imagined, in order to compete for territory, the Zheng family group that supported Emperor Shaowu, and the Liangguang forces that supported Emperor Yongli, friction in the area of Huizhou Prefecture continued, and the fight was quite lively, although the Zheng family group had the advantage of sea and troops, but due to the pressure of the large Chinese army on Fujian in Ganzhou and Wenzhou, it could not go all out, so the Zheng family representing Emperor Shaowu was never able to gain an overwhelming advantage over the Yongli group that controlled the two Guangxi areas.

Zheng Zhilong was awarded the governor of Fujian by Emperor Shaowu, in charge of the whole territory of Fujian, Zheng Zhilong was in power, on the one hand, he recruited soldiers and horses, Chen soldiers in Jianning Mansion and Tingzhou Mansion, in case of the attack of the Great Chinese Army on Fujian, on the other hand, the supervision army went south, trying to bring Liangguang into the control of the Shaowu Group, and expand the control area of the Shaowu Group, in order to obtain more resources.

In this regard, the Yongli Group did not show weakness, recruited a large number of troops in Guangxi and Guangdong, and displayed troops in the area of Huizhou Prefecture, trying to invade Fujian and bring Fujian into the control of their Yongli Group.

In short, the two sides are constantly fighting with each other for turf, and they are repeatedly engaged in tug-of-war in the area of Huizhou Prefecture, but they have no time to look north and launch any form of counterattack against Dazhong and North Korea.

However, after Shi Ran led the troops to defeat Ganzhou, they stopped continuing to attack the two small courts of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and put on a posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but in the border area of Fujian and Guangdong, they continued to gradually increase the number of troops and horses to clear out the forces that resisted the Great Middle Dynasty in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guizhou and other places, and quickly stabilized the situation in the territory that had just been won during the period when the two small courts of the Southern Ming Dynasty attacked each other. After suffering heavy losses, some of the remaining forces of the Ming Dynasty operating in this area had to give up their control and retreat into Liangguang and Fujian, where they were attached to the wings of the two small Southern Ming courts.

However, at the beginning of October, the First Town Army and the Second Town Army gathered more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in the area of Yan'an Mansion and Tongguan, because Li Zicheng's Dashun Army refused to surrender to the Dazhong Dynasty, and under the command of Yan Chongxi and Liu Bao, the two generals, launched an offensive against Li Zicheng's Dashun Army.
