The Tian Yingyuan incident was so big that it seemed to be a distinction between Chinese and foreigners on the surface, and some people were also provoking this matter to develop in this direction, but Zhu Youlang could see more clearly than anyone else that its essence was a challenge to the monarch's power by the civil officials, or in other words, a collective action by the civil officials to limit the monarch's power.

Once successful, the monarch's prestige will be greatly weakened and the monarch's power will be greatly restricted. It doesn't matter if it is defeated. The emperor has become a bad reputation for not accepting loyal opinions, while the ministers who initiated it have become a good reputation for "serious advice". According to the previous practices of the Ming Dynasty court, it would be a slap in the sky.

OK, fight, and beat me even more famous. Those who have been hit by the "court" have become famous officials in history.

Value! It's so worth it.

Chinese people share their names, and even more so.

Zhu Youlang can understand this matter clearly. There are two purposes for him to stay still.

First, look at the performances of the ministers, especially the performances of several great scholars, to see if we can find like-minded ministers, even if there is only one. Reform is necessary. Even if all the civil officials do not follow him, he will continue to change with a group of military generals.

Change is a labor pain, and not change is a long pain.

Second, he wanted to set up a cabinet and hand over the full responsibility of the affairs to the cabinet for handling. As the emperor, he only cared about direction and major matters, and could not get caught in trivial matters and could not extricate himself. How many nails can such a big country be covered with iron? Besides, how can he be both a referee and an athlete?

Since we need to establish a cabinet, we must choose a good prime minister, just like the prime minister in later generations.

Leave the matter to him, while he concentrates on planning wars and reforms.

However, until now, he has not seen a candidate for the prime minister who satisfies him.

Except for Li Yongmao who jumped out and clearly opposed the canonization of Alan, no other Grand Secretary made a statement, and Zhu Youlang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

...

Ma Jixiang, commander of the Jinyiwei, sent two pieces of information.

One is the reaction of the Grand Secretary after returning home.

Li Yongmao met visitors in the mansion and talked about the distinction between Chinese and foreigners; Lu Daqi was closed and he did not see any guests, and wrote and painted in the study, while Wu Bing only savored tea and papers with a few friends, and never mentioned the affairs of the government; Chen Zizhuang had been staying in the study, except for Aunt Zhao who had seen him, no one had ever been in; Qu Shisi met visitors, and officials from all departments had records of the key points of Qu Shisi and the officials. The strangest thing was that Chen Bangyan, who had been circling the study after returning to the mansion, kept cursing in his mouth, and scolding them, "villain!" and "ignoring the overall situation".

Zhu Youlang saw it and couldn't help but Leo.

The second piece of information was about the Qing soldiers.

The Qing court appointed King Gongshun King Kong Youde as the General of Pingnan, led King Huaishun King Geng Zhongming, King Zhishun King Shangkexi, Duke Shen Zhixiang, Gushan Ezhen Jinli, Meilezhang Jing Zhuotai, a total of more than 50,000 people, and the troops were directly aimed at Changsha.

At the same time, the Qing court appointed Gushan Beizi Boluo as the general of the southern expedition, Gushan Ezhentu Lai as the deputy, stationed troops in Guangxin, Jiangxi and Quzhou, Zhejiang, and the situation of advancing to Fujian was clear.

After putting down these two pieces of information, Zhu Youlang was very upset and said, "How many major things do I have to do? How can I have time to pay attention to these trivial matters all day long!"

But that's the case, you must pay attention to what you should pay attention to. If the backyard is uneasy, how can you concentrate on fighting with the Qing soldiers? You must first straighten out the matters in the court.

"Li Hong, bring the map." Zhu Youlang sighed, "Let's wait a little longer and take a look. If you can't be anxious, you will easily leave any troubles.

Li Hong brought the map and spread it on Longshu's desk.

Zhu Youlang found Guangxin and Quzhou on the map, moved the guides and studied the Qing army's advance route and strategic intentions.

There is no historical memory to follow in this battle with Boluo, because Zhu Youlang's arrival has completely changed the direction of history. Therefore, we can only judge the development situation of the battle based on wisdom and strategy.

Zhu Youlang estimated that the strategic intention of the Qing army to march this time was not to occupy Fujian, but to open up a channel to attack Guangdong so that the next step would be to mobilize troops to attack himself, the newly established Yongli Dynasty, which had just won the battle.

Now, Li Zicheng has been killed in Jiugong Mountain, Hubei, and Zhang Xianzhong is also dead. The rest of the troops are no longer in trouble. The most influential and appealing person is of course his own Ming family. If he allows himself to grow stronger, he will probably be even more difficult to control after two or three years of hard work.

They must eliminate or drive out of Guangdong while they are not yet firm in their foothold.

In fact, there is no need to eliminate it. As long as you defeat the war, the people in the world will not see hope. Gradually, the fire will be extinguished.

Therefore, Zhu Youlang judged that Boluo's attack on Fujian this time should first go to Xianxia Pass, and then head south to occupy Tingzhou, an important place at the junction of Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. After occupying Tingzhou, he divided his troops to attack Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, and then came west to occupy Chaozhou, thus threatening the Dongdamen of Guangdong.

Since he is here, don't leave. If Shunzhi is not hurt, he will not let himself rest and recuperate.

The problem now is that Li Chengdong's troops only have more than 40,000 people. Although they are very strong in combat, there is still a certain gap compared with the real Eight Banners soldiers. Without the help of landmines and grenades, he would not be able to withstand it.

Unless a large number of landmines and grenades were created, and Lin Cha's naval army could all the Qing soldiers such as Boluo were eliminated.

So, where should I choose the decisive battle location?

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Youlang's fingers were slapping heavily at the point in Zhangzhou and made up his mind.

Use territory to exchange time, use territory to exchange for the arrogance of the clear soldiers, and then gather in Zhangzhou to annihilate them!

During the period when the Qing troops attacked Tingzhou, landmines and grenades must be allowed to enter mass production as soon as possible. At the same time, Lin Cha must integrate the Fujian Navy that was captured and surrendered as soon as possible and join the battlefield in Zhangzhou.

Zhu Youlang had a certain idea about the matter in Fujian, and his eyes turned to Hunan and Jiangxi.

Hunan is the northern gate of Guangxi, and Jiangxi is the northern gate of Guangdong. If these two places are lost, the Qing soldiers will directly threaten Guangdong and Guangxi.

Hunan is now guarded by He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang appointed by Zhu Yousong. He surrendered to Emperor Yongli in history, but no letter has come yet.

The entire Jiangxi area has been occupied by the Qing soldiers. However, Zhu Youlang was not worried about the Qing soldiers entering Jiangxi for a short time. Because Jiangxi Governor Zhang Yutian and inspector Dong Xuecheng were in conflict with Jiangxi General Jin Shenghuan and Deputy General Wang Deren, and he had already sent Zhang Jiayu to Shaoguan to strengthen his defense. This journey was the most reassuring thing.

"Let He Tengjiao make trouble for a while first. I have no way to take care of you now. Anyway, as long as you keep Guilin, Guangxi will be worry-free. No matter how hard Kong Youde can fight, just one Hunan is enough for him to fight for half a year. This half a year is enough for me to free up my hands to deal with him."
