Well, this operation seems silly at first glance!

Isn't this helping the place to grow bigger? !
However, you can't just look at things in front of you, you have to take a long-term view!

Zhu Hongyu is not stupid, he has his own considerations in this matter.

In the past few years, in order to win over the landlords and gentry, it doesn't matter if the local government is handed over to them.

Arranging local grassroots officials as landlords and gentry people just makes the locality better and more efficient in collecting taxes and recruiting soldiers for Zhu Hongyu.

After waiting for the last two or three years, the war situation has stabilized.

Zhu Hongyu will start to use the method of boiling frogs in warm water, and transfer local officials to other places for rotation under the pretext of being promoted.

It is conceivable what choice the children of these landlords and gentry will make whether they are promoted to other places to be chief officials, or to stay in place as minor officials.

Then, Zhu Hongyu can fill the place with his own people to control the local power.

Then, it's time to start reforming!
To put it bluntly, it's just playing Yangmou!
Conspiracies and tricks may be able to be proud for a while, but the truly powerful and unsolvable has to be the conspiracy.

As for what if the Ming army was defeated in the war with the Qing army, the situation of the battle failed to stabilize, and the Ming army was forced to withdraw from the mainland?
In that case, Zhu Hongyu didn't care much about what would happen to the place.

The bigger the local power, the better!

Boil in oil dish!
……

Immediately, Zhu Hongyu summoned the generals of the recovery army to discuss the next strategy.

In the big tent, the generals of the recovery army sat around a sand table.

The sand table is very detailed, and the geography of the mountains and rivers of the entire southern country can be seen in general.

Small red or green flags were planted on the sand table, indicating the deployment of troops between the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The generals of the Ming army pointed at the sand table and stated their different opinions.

"For our army, the most important thing at present is to stabilize the battle situation in Guangdong."

"The next counterattack of the Qing army will most likely come from three directions: Guangxi, Hunan and Jiangxi."

Holding the baton in his hand, Xu Bin moved the baton on the sand table, detailing the movements of the Qing army during this period of time.

The reason why he said this was because, whether it was Geng Jingzhong from Fujian or Wu Sangui from Yunnan and Guizhou, there was a high probability that they would stand still.

Needless to say, Geng Jingzhong has long wanted to wear a white hat, but now he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

As for Wu Sangui, he had already had a dissatisfaction with the Qing court.

He would not dare to ask him to raise troops directly against the Qing Dynasty, but with the restraint of Li Dingguo from the direction of Mengla, Wu Sangui also has a high probability that he will not go east to mobilize troops.

Excluding Geng Jingzhong and Wu Sangui, if the Qing court wanted to send troops to Guangdong, it could only send troops from Guangxi, Hunan, and Jiangxi.

Zhu Hongyu sat at the top seat, his face full of approval.

Xu Bin felt the gazes from all around, and then spoke.

"The Qing court's green battalion strength in Hunan, Guangxi, and Jiangxi provinces totals about 4 to [-]!"

"Excluding the necessary troops left behind, the Qing government can mobilize about 8 or [-] mobile troops."

"However, if you add the local supervisory bidders, Fubii, and the Eight Banners supervisory war stationed in Nanjing that the Qing government may mobilize, if the Qing army wants to enter Guangdong this time, the mobilized force will be more than [-]!"

"And our army can mobilize no more than [-] troops in this battle!"

[-] is counting to many miles!

This is still the continuous expansion of the Liberation Army, and recruits who have completed recruit training are constantly being added to various establishments.

While supplementing the battle damage, new formations were formed one by one.

Calculate the speed of the Ming army's military expansion, as well as the speed of the Qing army's message and order transmission, the assembly of troops, the preparation of food and grass, and the speed of the army's march.

At that time, the Army of the Restoration Army will expand to a maximum of 5 troops.

Excluding the troops stationed in the place, at most 4 people can be mobilized to join the battle!
Forty thousand against one hundred thousand or even more, the ratio of troops between the two sides will reach an astonishing 2.5 to 1, which is even more exaggerated.

At that time, if the two sides fight head-on head-on!

Although the Ming army's winning rate is still not low, it does not conform to the basic principles of war.

That is to say, the principle of achieving the greatest results at the least cost!
Although the Ming army had the ability to win a frontal battle, a head-to-head battle must be a helpless choice.

Li Guangyuan sighed.

"The strength of the Qing court in the south should not be underestimated!"

"This is when the two thieves, Geng Jingzhong and Wu Sangui, have never left."

"If the Qing court is united, I, Da Ming, may have to retreat overseas this time and wait for the future."

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Right now, the Qing court is suspicious from top to bottom, the lord of the country is suspicious, the monarch and his ministers are untrustworthy, and party disputes continue. This is my greatest opportunity to restore the Ming Dynasty!"

After Zhu Hongyu finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Xu Bin, and then spoke.

"For this battle, what is the staff's opinion?"

Xu Bin bowed slightly, and then spoke.

"Reporting to His Highness Jian Guo, the opinion of the staff department is to capture the thief first and capture the king!"

"If the Qing captives want to conquer our Ming Dynasty in the south this time, the real core is definitely not the green battalion with more than [-] people or the supervision and bidding."

"It's the only Manchurian Eight Banners soldier in the southern part of the Qing court, the Nanjing Eight Banners!"

"If our army dispatches an elite soldier to land from the mouth of the Yangtze River and surprise Nanjing before the Qing government gathers the heavy troops from the entire south, we will wipe out the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army in Nanjing in one fell swoop."

"In this way, even if the Qing government gathers the 30 million Green Battalions in the entire south of the Yangtze River to send troops to Guangdong, if there is no Eight Banners to hold the formation, it will only be 30 million mobs."

"In front of my Great Ming Master, you will be vulnerable!"

"At that time, if the Qing government wants to mobilize heavy troops to reinforce the southern kingdom, they can only mobilize troops from the north!"

"One back and one back, at least it can delay for half a year!"

Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, then spoke.

"In addition, if our army goes north along the coast, it can also support the Zhoushan war!"

"Heavy damage, even wiped out the Yangtze River Navy of the Qing court, and destroyed the Longjiang Shipyard of the Qing court in one fell swoop!"

Zhu Hongyu thought of the battle in Zhoushan.

Although Zhao Erhu's troops are still insisting, as time goes by, the Qing court continues to mobilize soldiers and civilians from the entire south of the Yangtze River.

The battle in Zhoushan is getting more and more difficult.

So far, Zhoushan has asked Zhu Hongyu for help several times!

The navy under Wu Ming's command was also designed by Shi Lang to enter the encirclement circle, and was almost encircled and wiped out.

The battle in Zhoushan was very difficult!
It's time to give them some support here!

Thinking about this, Zhu Hongyu made a final decision.

"Send down the order to summon troops and horses, prepare warships and supplies, and the staff will formulate relevant plans and be ready to go north at any time!"

All the generals agreed one after another, and then prepared to go.

……

On the other side, inside the city of Kunming!

Wu Sangui received the specific news of the battle of Xinhui. While shocked, he felt rather complicated.

Regarding Shang Kexi's death, he couldn't help but feel sad!

However, he felt a little surprised and puzzled by the defeat of the Xinhui decisive battle of the Qing court.

You must know that in that battle, it was the Qing Dynasty that had the upper hand!

How did the Ming thief win by fighting more with less?

You must know that in the past, the Ming army was able to win more with less against the Qing army, and it was often the Qing army!

However, when he received Zhu Hongyu's acknowledgment of his title as king of Pingxi and the imperial decree of his world township in Yunnan, joy and complacency replaced the sorrow and surprise of the rabbit and the fox.
