Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 189
"Master Tang, if you don't make a move, it's fine. Once you make a move, you will be shocked."

"That's right, Your Majesty is still wise. It is a rare talent to fall in love with Mr. Tang at the first sight."

"There are many internal conflicts in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it must be panicked to be completely exposed by Mr. Tang this time."

"Dorgon is powerful and has no heirs. Once he becomes wary of Shunzhi, it is hard to guarantee that he will not try to depose Shunzhi. At that time, there will be chaos within the Manchu Qing Dynasty."

"It is expected that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is in a state of desperation. Duo Duo is Dorgon's same mother and brother, and is Dorgon's right-hand man. This incident happened, and he must have no intention of going south. In response to the danger of Tianfu, it is resolved..."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, with this good general, we, Ming Dynasty, can regain our homeland. It can be expected, it can be expected..."

"The Mingjun that Tangning calls must be Your Majesty. Your Majesty is the unrivaled Mingjun, the Lord of Zhongxing..."

In Yingtian Mansion's Southern Ming Dynasty Hall, there was a congratulatory voice, seemingly praising Tang Ning, but actually flattering Emperor Hongguang.

Emperor Hongguang was very happy, and after the early court was over, it was all about singing and dancing, and he enjoyed himself with more peace of mind.

After Eunuch Liu returned, he immediately submitted Tangning's words and the letter, but the people in power led by Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng didn't take it seriously.

For them, uniting the Qing Dynasty against Li was a national policy drawn up, but they had an enmity with Li Zicheng to destroy the country, how could it be easily changed with a letter or a few words.

How is it different from betraying your ancestors if you join forces with a national traitor like Li Zicheng?
Without a knife on their necks, these people are more loyal than anyone else, they all understand righteousness, and they always think about the court.

But as long as the Qing army's sword swayed in front of their eyes, they bent their knees faster than anyone else.

As for the four towns in Jiangbei, they all have their own thoughts and don't want to make progress.

The one closest to the Qing army in the four Jiangbei towns was Gao Jie. He was arrogant and arrogant. Before Tangning's letter was delivered to him, he was planned to kill him.

Fortunately, he has a smarter wife, Mrs. Xing, who he hooked up with Li Zicheng. Because of this, he defected from Li Zicheng to the Ming army.

He can have today, and Madam Xing is inseparable. He himself admits that although he is rebellious, he obeys Madam Xing's words.

Mrs. Xing played a big role in promoting Gao Jie's decision to regain Henan. This strategy is extremely correct.

But Gao Jie was too conceited, and took a few hundred people into Suizhou, where Xu Dingguo's army was stationed.

Someone had reminded him to guard against Xu Dingguo long ago, but he didn't take it seriously, and got drunk with his own soldiers in the other's mansion, and then they were all killed in the middle of the night.

It's really his own fault, but now that he himself is dead, the Xing family is a female generation, and the prestige is not enough, so Gao Bu can only rely on other forces.

In the official history, it was the Xing family who asked Li Chengdong to lead the high-ranking troops to surrender to the Qing army, and Li Chengdong quickly became the vanguard of the Qing army and made great contributions to the Qing army.

Gao Jie didn't receive the letter written by Tangning, so it naturally fell into Xing's hands. It's just that she doesn't know what choice she will make in the end.

Liu Zeqing, the second of the four towns in Jiangbei, has his sphere of influence in Huai'an Mansion. He is brutal at home, but he treats the Qing army like a tiger.

He was originally from Shandong. In the last years of Chongzhen, he was an official in Shandong.

It can be said that Shandong is the place where he made his fortune, the place of his ancestors.

At the beginning, he was driven out of Shandong by the powerful Li Zicheng, which was barely a wish.But at this time, the Chuang army lost consecutively, and Shandong was acquired by the Qing army.

In order to continue to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng, the main force of the Qing army has been transferred to Henan and other places, resulting in an empty defense in Shandong, with only a few thousand stragglers recruited temporarily.

And the Huai'an Mansion where he lives is closely connected with Shandong. This is a great opportunity to recover Shandong. He has hundreds of thousands of troops, but he dare not take half a step beyond the thunder pool.

Even if it is to worship the ancestors, they only dare to go there secretly, which is extremely ridiculous.

As for Liu Liangzuo, his younger brother Liu Liangchen surrendered to the Qing army with Zu Dashou more than ten years ago.

At this time, the two brothers had already been in secret contact, and Tangning's decision to surrender could not be changed with a letter. He even secretly handed over the letter to the Qing army.

Luckily, Tangning knew the man better and knew that it was unlikely for him to fight against the Qing, so he only promised various benefits and clarified the Qing army's wolfish ambitions, without involving any strategic conception.

Among the four towns, only Huang Degong was relatively loyal and brave to the Hongguang court. In the official history, he also died for Emperor Hongguang in the end.

But because of his loyalty to Hong Guangchao, Hong Guangchao's policy has not changed, so it is impossible for him to act according to what Tangning said.

Shi Kefa, the supervisor who should have changed this situation the most and should make a difference, is more than loyal, lacks ability, hesitates in everything, and lacks courage.

Even though Tangning gave him a clear analysis of the pros and cons and strategic ideas in the letter, he still hesitated, for fear of breaking the current balance of the four Jiangbei towns.

He also tried his best to tolerate and harmonize the domineering of the four towns in Jiangbei, and chose to defend passively.

In fact, long before Tangning, someone had advised him to seize the opportunity to recover Shandong and Henan, but he didn't listen.

Until now, those in power still have another thought. They are still thinking about how to negotiate peace with the Qing army after the Qing army wiped out Li Zicheng.

Now that Tang Ning's "Ming Pao" has caused the Qing court to suffer, they feel that the possibility of a peace negotiation is even greater.

So in this sense, they are still very grateful to Tangning.

However, how did they know that the strategy of the Qing army going south did not stagnate as they imagined.

Perhaps it was because she knew that the Hongguang court had become a rotten mess, and it was hard to smooth things out, so Tangning didn't pin her hopes on the Hongguang court at all, but instead put the most attention on Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu is currently the most powerful single force in the Hongguang court, but he is excluded from the core power.

The four towns in Jiangbei didn't want him to take a share of the pie, so they united to exclude him.

Coupled with Li Zicheng's advancing step by step, Zuo Liangyu, who had been defeated by Li Zicheng, gave up his station and retreated again and again.

The living space was continuously compressed, and Zuo Liangyu was ready to send troops to respond to Tianfu under the instigation of someone with a heart.

So he issued a call to action, preparing to use troops in the name of conquering Ma Shiying.

However, this call for action was issued with the support of people sent by Tangning, because before this, people sent by Tangning had already contacted Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu naturally knew about Tang Ning, who made a fortune in the southeast in a short period of time.

Compared to Tangning's rapid rise, Zuo Liangyu achieved what he is today step by step.

However, he admired Tang Ning, a young man. He was able to defeat the red-haired ghost and manage the two prefectures so well.

So, when he found out that Mr. Liu was here on behalf of Tangning, Zuo Liangyu summoned him immediately.

At this time, the new army had just started fighting with Zheng Zhilong. Although Zuo Liangyu was relatively polite, he obviously still had various concerns.

But as the battle progressed, the two sides kept in touch, until the new army defeated the Zheng army in less than two months and occupied Fujian, Zuo Liangyu was greatly shocked.

Then, an incident from "Ming Pao" let Zuo Liangyu see Tangning's means and determination.

As soon as this "Ming Pao" came out, the Qing army and Tangning would probably have nothing but death. No one in power could tolerate the existence of such a person who humiliated the royal family.

But even so, Zuo Liangyu still couldn't make up his mind to go to Fujian to join Tangning. After all, the matter was very important, and Fujian was so far away from Wuchang Mansion.

"My lord, in this situation, I am afraid that there is no way to support it alone. The Chuang army and the Qing army will go south in a few days. They are all the generation of tigers and wolves."

"The Hongguang court is controlled by Ma Shiying and his like, queuing up dissidents, and not thinking about making progress. At this time of crisis, for personal selfishness, they can't tolerate adults."

"Sir, how many 10 people are under your command? Where do you go? Fight the Chuang army and the Qing army to the death? Or send troops to respond to the Tianfu to punish the rebels? I'm afraid it's not a good strategy."

"Only when you go to the rich and affluent places of Guangdong and Fujian, and recuperate, can you plan for the world again."

Zuo Liangyu naturally understood what Mr. Liu said, and he had already considered it.

Zuo Liangyukong has more than [-] soldiers and horses, but he is caught between several huge forces, walking on thin ice.
