Such a big banquet was originally intended to be arranged for singing and dancing, but now it is not a peaceful era, so who dares to sing and dance?

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Hou Xuanyan looked at the people in the hall with different expressions and became scheming. Many of these people were willing to be civil and military, and they were rare talents for themselves who had just gained Jiangsu and Zhejiang and had not yet established a stable foothold.

If you leave a Gu Yanwu and Wu Shengzhao in Hangzhou, you may not be able to conquer the strong people in Zhejiang. As long as you keep Yan Yingyuan and Zhu Dadian, you will still be inadequate to go out of the city to fight north, but you will be foolproof when defending the city. Qian Sule and his friends have a high reputation in eastern Zhejiang, so they can let him return to Shaoxing.

At this time, the new officials from Shaoxing raised their glasses and came to Hou Xuanyan's table to toast. Hou Xuanyan took the opportunity to express his thoughts, and Qian Sule's expression changed. The war was about to begin, and he wanted to stay in Suzhou for a bloody battle, rather than return to eastern Zhejiang at this time.

Hou Xuanyan observed his expression and said with a smile: "Mr. Qian, Zhejiang has been rich for a long time, and the supply of troops, money and food is extremely important. If you hadn't gone in person, I wouldn't feel at ease."

Qian Sule sighed and said, "Since the commander said this, how dare the subordinates refuse?"

"Okay, Lord Qian understands the great righteousness and is a blessing for the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Your Majesty grants this official the restraining civil and military affairs and acts cheaply. Today I will exercise this right and grant you the title of the magistrate of Shaoxing, Sun Jiaji as the magistrate of Ningbo Prefecture, and Zheng Zunqian as the magistrate of Jinhua Prefecture. You must watch over and help each other, bring back your troops and horses. You can arrange the generals to practice with your own life."

Sun Jiaji is tall and majestic. Although he is an authentic scholar, he looks like a martial artist. He glared at him and asked, "General, Hong Chengchou's army has left Jinling. The world knows that he is going to invade Suzhou. There are no enemies on all sides of Ningbo, Shaoxing, so the troops should stay in Suzhou."

"The Manchus retreated north, although Hong Chengchou had the power of minions and the talent of hawks, he wanted to attack Suzhou just to show his master. He and I knew that Suzhou was unbreakable, and he would definitely retain his strength and wait for Duoduo, Ajige and others to lead their troops back. Now it is a chaotic era, so you will take your troops back to their respective prefectures and prefectures. Remember! Use heavy sanctions in the troubled times. But those who disturb the rear and those who are in chaos against the Qing Dynasty will be killed on the spot. Stabilize the place, resume production, and lay the foundation for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains in the future. These will depend on you."

When several people saw that he had just recovered Shaoxing, they trusted themselves so much, and they all raised their glasses and drank them all in one go.

Seeing that several people monopolize the military and political power of the entire mansion and can use their strength, Zhang Mingzhen, who was also a surrendered minister in Shaoxing, also looked at Hou Xuanyan with a eager look.

Hou Xuanyan looked at the remaining few, and was even more famous than Qian Sun and others. Zhang Huangyan and Zhang Mingzhen were both famous hard bones in the late Ming Dynasty.

"There are still some places in Suzhou Prefecture, which are still in the hands of the Qing soldiers. The two Lords Zhang stay by my side. Let's jointly suppress the remnants of the Qing soldiers."

After raising the glass to drink together, everyone in the hall was excited. There had never been such hope since the Qing soldiers entered the pass. Although the days were still short, the anti-Qing trend in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas did make unprecedented progress. As long as you take down Jinling, you can restore half of the country, and you can attack and retreat or defend when advance.

At this time, Qin He suddenly walked into the hall and shouted loudly: "General, Lord Xia Wanchun has recovered Kunshan, Taicang, Jiading, and Songjiang Prefecture, there are no Qing soldiers."

After Hou Xuan finished speaking, he stepped over the table that he had kicked over and walked straight out.

Although the officials in the hall sympathized with him and Jiading, they thought it was a gratifying thing for them to recover so many lost lands.
