After the military meeting, the generals of each unit immediately returned to the defense zone. Xue Laoer, Zhang Huangyan, and other old subordinates were stationed in Fengyang and Linhuai, and were not in a hurry to go back. Zhou Shixian naturally would not disperse the troops of his headquarters, which he had not had the advantage.

Gao Jie and Zheng Chenggong were specially stayed by Zhou Shixian. Their key position and political stance in the deployment of the war made Zhou Shixian win over.

Gao Jie's main force is still on the front line of Guide-Xuzhou, facing Duoduo's military front. Although he can retreat as soon as he encounters the enemy, Zhou Shixian still needs to comfort him well to avoid the opponent's misfortune. Escape also requires skill. How to run away and successfully protect the core armored soldiers requires the general to have a certain prestige.

Of course, in addition to comforting, necessary rewards are also indispensable. Zhou Shixian is not the kind of leader who only knows how to draw big pies. He needs both big pies and bread, so that he can truly convince his subordinates.

When he recovered the battle between Juzhou-Ningling-Guide, Zhou Shixian also realized that although Gao Jie had many problems, he still dared to fight, at least he was much stronger than Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo.

Zheng Chenggong, who abandoned literature and military affairs, was the one that Zhou Shixian must focus on winning over. With Zhou Shixian's strong help and Zheng Zhilong's operation, Zheng Chenggong has now been in charge of the Nanjing Water Camp, which can be said to have been rapidly improving and rising to the top.

Although the navy did not decide the overall situation in the next battle, it was still very important. This was a surprise that Zhou Shixian prepared for Duoduo, and also allowed these landslides from Liaodong to see how powerful the navy was.

Moreover, the Zheng family forces behind Zheng Chenggong almost controlled the entire Fujian and the Japanese-Japanese trade, which was also the political force that Zhou Shi was most interested in attracting.

As for the other generals, after Zhou Shixian's kindness and power, they no longer dared to make any open violations. However, when the Qing Tartars really came, they dared to fight, and whether they could fight, Zhou Shixian was not sure whether they could fight.

After all, these people are now being suppressed by their 20,000 troops. If they are not fighting with the Qing army, will these people flee immediately or come up to help with the war? I’m afraid it’s still hard to say.

Lu Zhenfei, Huang Degong, Zhou Shixian can trust him, Gao Jie and Ma Shiying can also believe him, but what will happen to Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing, two who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in history? Zhou Shixian dared not make a conclusion.

That's why he arranged Ma Shiying and Lu Zhenfei next to these two people in case of an accident. In addition, whether the thousands of soldiers he had spent money to train would follow suit, is also something these two must consider.

It can only be said that although Zhou Shixian had made more than a year of preparation, he did suppress these people on the surface. However, Ming Jun was famous for stabbing his teammates and refused to save others and sacrificed others for himself. Zhou Shixian had to be careful.

This affected the Ming army for decades, caused countless "evil diseases" of defeat, and countless bloody lessons eventually affected Zhou Shixian's military deployment.

Two months later, Duoduo led an army of 50,000 as scheduled. When his troops arrived at the city of Juzhou, Gao Jie's deputy general Hu Maozhen had already led his troops to abandon the city and fled. Li Benshen of Ningling was the same. Before the Qing army vanguard came, they ran away and disappeared. It was so embarrassing.

Then, Gao Jie "battled" with the Qing army's vanguard at the city of Guide, fighting against the 500 Qing army with 3,000 troops. After more than 50 casualties, he was defeated and entered the city. Before the main force of the Qing army arrived, he broke through overnight and headed towards the Xuzhou Guard to the east.

When Duoduo received these news, he was not surprised, nor did he have any doubts. The Ming court's border troops were vulnerable, let alone these mainland garrison troops? Not to mention 500 battles, 3,000 battles, even 500 battles and 10,000 battles, Duoduo, who had defeated the main force of the Shun Army, was not surprised.

So, Duoduo immediately ordered Kong Youde to lead his troops to pursue, and he led the main force to manage these newly occupied cities, prepare for the army's food and supplies, and then head south to destroy the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Gao Jie, who retreated to Xuzhou Guard, soon welcomed Kong Youde's pursuers. He threw more than two thousand people away and had almost never received any training. He had only one worn-out weapon or even a wooden stick militia, and led his core troops to flee south along the canal.

Then, Kong Youde easily destroyed the Ming army and occupied Xuzhou City. In order to show his military achievements, he lied to the war report of returning to De that this was the elite Ming army under Gao Jie's army. Gao Jie had been beaten to pieces by him and was pissed off.

After receiving the news of Kong Youde in Guide City, Duoduo was even more happy. He had already disdained the Ming army in the south, and now he regarded them as a group of refugees and was about to collapse.

After all, the Shun Army was stronger than the Ming court's border army, the Ming court's border army was stronger than the Ming army in the Central Plains, the Ming army in the Central Plains was stronger than the Southern Army, and the Qing army was stronger than all these Nikan soldiers, and the Shun Army was irresistible.

"Tunqi, do you think, how long can we take to capture Nanjing?" Duoduo stood on the tower of Guide City, and a group of generals in the army surrounded him.

"Your Majesty, it takes less than three months. In less than three months, Nanjing will be destroyed. These so-called 200,000 troops of Nikan have 50,000, and have been defeated by us."

As Gushan Beizitunqi said, an extremely contemptuous smile appeared on his face: "The remaining so-called 150,000 troops are probably the same, and they are vulnerable."

“Hahahaha…hahahaha…”

When the Manchu, Han and Mongolian generals on the city wall heard this, they all burst into laughter, and the air was filled with a breath of happiness. Since they entered the pass, except for the Shun army, the rest of the Ming army were either defeated in one battle or surrendered in a glance. No one took these so-called Ming court troops from Nanzhili seriously.

"Kong Youde can defeat tens of thousands of troops in the Ming army with just a few thousand troops, and the slaves also have thousands of troops under him. If you defeat tens of thousands more, won't the Ming court be out of no soldiers?" Geng Zhongming also laughed from the side.

Geng Zhongming was originally from the Ming army. The Wuqiao mutiny and the Dengzhou chaos were in chaos. By chance, he joined Kong Youde in the Qing Dynasty. Now seeing his old boss being defeated, he is always extremely excited. It seems that this can prove how the right choice was for him to shave his head and keep his braids.

"However, it was said that the prince-consort of the court was not an ordinary person. At that time, he led hundreds of soldiers and horses and fled from the capital with Chongzhen. This man seemed to have trained tens of thousands of troops in Jiangnan. It is rumored that these soldiers and horses are very powerful, just like divine soldiers and generals descending to earth." Gushan Ezhen Ashan reminded him.

"My Lord Gushan, don't believe this kind of rumor. The news that came from the Ming court is basically unreliable. This should be just made up by Chongzhen to cover up his ugly behavior of fleeing south." Geng Zhongming explained from the side.

"There are many such things among the Ming army and the Ming court over the years. The so-called magical weapons are just deceiving themselves."

"Oh, there's something like this?"

When Duoduo heard this, he seemed to be interested. He also noticed the so-called Prince Consort of the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Shixian, early in the morning, but he only noticed it and did not take the other party seriously. After all, he was just a young boy. I heard that he had never been on the battlefield before.

In fact, it was not only Geng Zhongming, the Han people who didn't believe it, but no one completely believed the rumors, even Duoduo, Nikan, and Tunqi. Especially in the rumors, Zhou Shixian had killed Bayala and was still in his teens, which made the so-called Ming Dynasty prince lose credibility.

In this era of underdeveloped transportation information, it took a long time to spread information. Although the Qing Dynasty also had an intelligence system, under Zhou Shixian's strict investigation, they were simply sheep who had no hair. Moreover, Dorgon despised the Southern Ming Dynasty extremely, and now it is even more impossible for him to send any secret spies in a short period of time.

"These Nikans are absolutely vulnerable. Gao Jie has been defeated by our pioneers one after another. The prince consort of Shenwu is just a young boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. I'm afraid I haven't seen blood before, and I have killed my Qing Dynasty Bayala. It's just a laughing joke." Beizitunqi of Gushan said disdainfully.

"Be careful."

Although Duoduo said that, the relaxed smile on his face revealed his true thoughts: "The Ming army that Guide had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty was wiped out by the Zhu family's prince consort, and this person may still have some skills."

Beizitunqi of Gushan looked at Duoduo's pretending to be cautious. He was very careful and knew very well that the other party was afraid that something would happen and that Dorgon would get his little braided. At this time, he couldn't say anything else, so as not to be hated by Duoduo.

However, as a royal family, Tunqi understood the internal struggles of the royal family. Dorobelenikan beside him was not so thoughtful and immediately said:

"The Ming army was already very weak. At that time, Gao Jie led his troops to defeat the Ming army in Juzhou and Ningling. If there were no fights these days, who wouldn't think that Gao Jie's army was invincible? Now it seems that it's just that. Compared with our Manchu warriors, it's not worth mentioning. Those Ming army is not as good as women when fighting."

After hearing this, Duoduo nodded. Someone came forward to say these words for him. Naturally, he was willing to do so. Anyway, it was his credit, and it was Nikan's responsibility to lose. Ajige lost many troops because he underestimated the enemy in northern Shaanxi and lost many troops. He had been ordered by Dorgon to punish several Niulu. Duoduo did not want to follow in the footsteps of others.

Since Prince Yu Duodor has nodded, the other Manchu and Han generals, whether they have understood or not, have praised Nikan for his justification. How could anyone be willing to miss such flattery and pleasing things on both sides?

Since the Ming army was vulnerable, the Qing army was also unscrupulous. Duoduo immediately ordered all troops to step up the raising of food and grass, and at the same time sent large army whistle cavalry to find the main force of the Ming army in the Southern Zhili Region. He wanted to fight to determine the world.
