Su He is listening to the report from Yang Qianhe, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
"Your Highness King Qin, Ming Dynasty has withdrawn its troops, and we have occupied the three provinces of Shaanxi and Yunnan-Guizhou.
In response to the Ming army's encirclement and suppression war.
The informants developed by our Military Intelligence Agency lost 268 people.
Their sacrifices were extremely valuable and brought us a large amount of intelligence.
They are one of the cornerstones of our victory in this war.
The intelligence they provided helped the frontline generals to attack the Ming army in a targeted manner.
Among them, Lu Kaifang, a personal soldier under Chen Hongfan, the commander-in-chief of Henan Province.
He made the greatest contribution, single-handedly causing Chen Hongfan and the Baigan soldiers to turn against each other in advance.
It will directly cause the Ming army in Sichuan to collapse."
Su Hu listened to Yang Qianhe's report. He had just finished listening to Su Changsheng's report.
This was an encirclement and suppression campaign by the Ming army. The secret guards and the Military Intelligence Bureau all played a big role on the covert front.
The counterinsurgency work of the Ming army was almost zero.
A large number of intelligence personnel from the Qin Palace were active with the Ming army, making the battlefield one-way transparent to them.
Frontline commanders can adjust their combat plans in a timely manner based on the actual situation.
"These are all meritorious personnel and sacrificed personnel. If it does not affect the existing plans, their identities can be disclosed.
Let their families know that these people are martyrs.
Even if it is not convenient to disclose his identity, his family members will be treated the same as the family members of martyrs and their families will be taken care of."
Yang Qianhe continued to report: "Your Highness King Qin, the intelligence personnel we sent are mainly from the Ming Dynasty, but they also infiltrated from other places.
Most of them are at the grassroots level, and the information they obtain is basically public information.
The Ming Dynasty encircled and suppressed us, and some things happened during and after the war.
I selected some important things and reported them to His Highness King Qin.
Xu Guangqi, the assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty, recommended some people before his death.
One of the officials, Sun Chuanting, was immediately reused by Emperor Chongzhen.
Huang Taiji led his army to attack Daling River City, and the Ming Dynasty sent Sun Chuanting to lead troops to support him.
The rebel army Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other troops invaded Henan.
They coerced the people and attacked Luoyang and Nanyang respectively.
The Ming court sent Lu Xiangsheng to destroy Gao Yingxiang and capture Gao Yingxiang.
Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were afraid of Lu Xiangsheng, so they fled to Xiangyang, Huguang.
These two men were defeated by Zuo Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of Huguang.
They were recruited and surrendered by Fang Kongzhen, the new governor of Huguang.
Before Huang Taiji attacked Dalinghe City, when the Ming Dynasty encircled and suppressed us.
He gathered the main troops and horses, united the Eight Mongolian Banners who had surrendered to them, and attacked the Chahar tribe where the Mongolian Khan Lindan Batur was located.
The Chahar tribe could not resist. They had already fled towards the Hetao, and the Eight Banners soldiers and the Mongolian Eight Banners were pursuing them from behind.
It is expected that the Chahar tribe will come to the Hetao area next year, please prepare in advance for His Highness the King of Qin."
Su He listened to Yang Qianhe's report, and the most touching incident was Huang Taiji's attack on Dalinghe.
In the original history, this war was the turning point between the establishment of slaves and the Ming Dynasty.
Through this war, Huang Taiji washed away the shame of Ningyuan, the Eight Banners, and established the confidence of the Eight Banners soldiers.
In particular, the elite Guan Ning Army of the Ming Dynasty, which numbered 5,000 to 6,000 men, was defeated by Huang Taiji's 200 soldiers.
This kind of achievement will make anyone's jaw drop when they hear it.
Let everyone at the Eight Banners realize that the Ming army is vulnerable.
The Battle of Daling River also indirectly led to Kong Youde's rebellion.
Kong Youde brought artillery talents and artillery casting skills to Jiannu.
Let Jiannu completely make up for the shortcomings of firearms, and they used Hongyi cannon to take down the Ming Ningjin defense line.
There is no technological generation difference between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu.
The Ming Dynasty was so rotten that it lost the ability to centralize power.
They were defeated by the establishment slaves who had upgraded from a fishing and hunting power structure to a centralized one.
Su He hoped that Sun Chuanting, one of the most capable people in the late Ming Dynasty, would come to him.
If we can protect the Daling River, we must also protect the Ningjin Defense Line.
Kong Youde was caught by Su Hu, and he no longer had the ability to send firearms to Jiannu.
Without the assistance of Hongyi artillery, it would be difficult for Jiannu to break through the Ningjin defense line.
Su He didn't want Jiannu to attack the Ming Dynasty before he was ready. He would be too passive in that case.
Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng both began to rise. With these two people as watchmen, the Ming Dynasty could continue to live for a long time.
Su He asked Yang Qianhe to focus on the news about Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and Li Zicheng.
He did not believe that Li Zicheng would die in the rebellion.
Li Zicheng's vitality was too tenacious and he was extremely sensitive to dangers on the battlefield. He would run away when something went wrong.
He was beaten by the Ming Dynasty until there were only a dozen people left, and he was able to rise again.
After Yang Qianhe retreated, Su He met Wang Shiyuan again in Lingyun Hall.
Su He transferred Wang Shiyuan from the First Army to the Third Army.
Mainly to cooperate with the plan of his brother Wang Shichong.
Wang Shichong only believed in Wang Shiyuan and had no cooperation from Wang Shiyuan.
Then it would be impossible to ambush Guan Ning's army and establish victory on the northern front in one fell swoop.
Su He mobilized Wang Shiyuan and followed him, as well as some grassroots officers of the First Army.
Each arm of the Qin Army was built up bit by bit by senior generals.
Every army is more or less stamped with the personal imprint of its senior generals.
Sudden replacement of senior generals will lead to a decrease in the combat effectiveness of the army.
Unless something particularly bad happened, Su He was not prepared to do this.
The method he adopted was to mobilize middle- and low-level officers.
If a high-ranking general wants to cultivate his inner circle, he must have a large number of middle- and low-level officers.
The transfer of middle- and low-level officers is relatively frequent and will not affect the combat effectiveness of the army.
Middle and low-level officers do not need to have their own ideas.
As long as you can complete the above plan, you are a qualified officer.
Without the support of middle and lower-level officers, senior generals will be unable to achieve what they want to achieve.
Su He knew that people's hearts could not stand the test, so the best way was not to even give them a chance.
This method is just Su He's idea.
He took the opportunity to verify this method by mobilizing Wang Shiyuan, and has verified the feasibility of this method.
Mobilizing middle- and low-level officers will not affect the combat effectiveness of the army.
Wang Shiyuan has made great achievements and is no longer the Chief of Staff of the Third Army.
Su He promoted him to deputy chief of staff of the Dudu Mansion, a first-grade officer.
Specially responsible for the transfer of middle and low-level military officers.
Every two or three years or every time they are promoted based on merit, mid- and low-level officers are transferred from one army to another.
Wang Shiyuan walked in with a pile of information.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the candidate for officer promotion approved by the Ministry of Military Affairs.
I have helped them select the troops to be mobilized, please approve them."
Su He looked through the officer transfer arrangements arranged by Wang Shiyuan.
He watched carefully and found that Wang Shiyuan's arrangements were very good.
The new army arranged can basically take advantage of the strengths of these officers.
"This list is very well arranged, and it will be executed in this way."
Wang Shiyuan left Lingyun Palace with the list in his arms.
Su He dealt with some backlogged documents again.
When he saw Su Xiong's report, they were already thinking about the Miao village chieftain.
"Okay, if you subjugate the enemy without fighting, once your strength increases, you will definitely be defeated by the wind.
Su Xiong handled it well and the bottom line cannot be damaged."
Su He personally approved the treaty signed by Su Xiong and approved Su Xiong's report.
After finishing the work, Su He was ready to leave Lingyun Palace.
His two children have learned to speak, and they are very happy teasing the children.
My second wife, Li Huixin, is also pregnant, and I just want to spend more time with her at this time.
As soon as Su He walked out of Lingyun Palace, he saw Wang Zhongce and Wu Donglin walking towards here.
Wang Zhongce walked up to Su He and said: "Your Highness, King Qin, we have sorted out the information on the prisoners in Shaanxi and Yunnan and Guizhou.
Other prisoners will be dealt with according to our previous regulations.
But there are some special circumstances where His Highness the King of Qin still needs to provide accurate opinions."
When Su He saw this situation, he knew not to finish work early today.
Now is the most important moment for the cause of rebellion. Su He does not have Lao Zhu's ability to do everything personally.
But for some important matters, Su He still had to make his own decisions.
They approached Lingyun Hall and sat on chairs.
Su He asked the waiter to pour tea for Wang Zhongce and Wu Donglin.
Wang Zhongce took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
"Your Highness King Qin, we will solve the problem according to regions.
In this area of northern Shaanxi, the two most difficult prisoners to deal with were Sun Chengzong and Hong Chengchou.
I have learned about the situation of these two people. Sun Chengzong is very tough and has no intention of surrendering.
Hong Chengchou's attitude softened, but he was still hesitant.
I estimate that if he tempers his temper a little more, this person will surrender."
After Wu Donglin finished speaking to Wang Zhongce, he handed over the joint trial materials of the three judicial divisions to Su He.
Su He looked through the interrogation materials of the Three Justice Divisions, and found that most of them were confessions from other people.
Sanfasi has marked all the main features.
After Su He read the information, he made a decision.
"Sun Chengzong is just the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty. He is not considered a prisoner. There is nothing wrong with each serving his own master. This man should be let go directly.
Hong Chengchou killed tens of thousands of people even if they joined the uprising army.
Such inhumane officials of the Ming Dynasty must not be let go and dealt with directly according to their crimes."
"His Royal Highness, King of Qin, wait a minute." Wang Zhongce stopped him, "For people like Sun Chengzong, let us pardon him.
In order to prove his innocence, he would definitely commit suicide on the spot.
Hong Chengchou showed signs of surrender.
He was the governor of the three sides of the Ming Dynasty and knew the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty very well.
I was just a small official before and didn't understand the situation in high-level officialdom.
Most of our officials in the Qin Palace do not understand the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if some were demoted, they only knew the local officialdom and lacked understanding of the Ming Dynasty court.
If Hong Chengchou surrenders to us, this shortcoming will be made up for.
He can also use it as gold to buy horse bones, which will help us recruit other Ming army commanders in the future."
When Su He heard what Wang Zhongce said, he also knew that Wang Zhongce's choice was the one with the greatest benefits.
Hong Chengchou has proven his ability in history. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty.
But for many things, we should not only consider the benefits and losses, but also consider the impact.
Su He's base is ordinary people. Accepting Hong Chengchou, the executioner, will have a certain impact on his base.
He would give up anything that could affect Su He's fundamentals or bring huge benefits.
"As for Sun Chengzong, arrange a task for him, and we also need to communicate with Emperor Chongzhen.
Prevent strategic misjudgments, and don't let a trivial matter develop into a national war.
Regarding Hong Chengchou, there is no need to discuss this, just do as I say.
The value of Hong Chengchou is not enough for me to make an exception for him."
Su He looked through the information provided by Wu Donglin. He pointed at Kong Youde's name and ordered:
"Commander Kong Youde, the military discipline is too bad, the crime of reform through labor is a bit light, he should be put to death!"
Su He had a very bad impression of Kong Youde, the Ming general who sent firearms technology and talents to Huang Taiji.
In the situation where he could die or not, Su He directly sentenced Kong Youde to death.
Wang Zhongce saw that Su He had arranged the situation in Shaanxi.
"Your Highness the King of Qin, what should we do with the prisoners of the White Guards?
They are considered prisoners or Ming troops anyway.
Su Li arranged for them to stay in Fengjie, and many of the Baigan soldiers wanted to go home."
Su He thought for a moment and said: "The white-pole soldiers are counted as revolting before the battle, not as prisoners.
Their corresponding treatment is implemented in accordance with our military standards.
Officers of the White Guards were sent to military academies to re-study. After graduation from the military academies, they were assigned to positions.
Ordinary soldiers are sent to the new barracks without having to break up their arrangements.
Let them become part of the organic system and receive training from recruit battalion officers.
For those who want to retire, arrange for them to retire.
I will let the military handle this, and the soldiers and generals who have problems with the white-pole soldiers will be managed by the Military Justice Department."
When Wang Zhongce heard what Su He said, he stopped managing matters related to the white pole soldiers.
He continued: "Your Highness the King of Qin, what should we do with the Duke of Guizhou in Yunnan?
They are called Mu Wangfu by Yunnan people. They have a good reputation in Yunnan and are loved by many Yunnan people.
He has guarded Yunnan for generations, which is different from other Ming princes.
The elders of the Ming Dynasty saw our army heading to Guizhou.
They rebelled in the name of Prince Mu's Mansion and made a big fuss in Yunnan.
It took the Second Army a long time to suppress these people.
The main time is to find these people, they are very hidden.
But through the unremitting efforts of the Second Army, they were all captured.
Among them are many people from Prince Mu’s palace.”
Su He looked a little serious and ordered: "Rebellion must be done with suspicion.
Whenever you sense that someone may be rebelling, you should investigate them and their relatives and friends.
The Second Army is not very skilled in dealing with rebellions, and the intelligence network of the secret guards will soon cover the Yunnan-Guizhou region.
When the time comes when this person wants to rebel, it won't be that simple.
Prince Mu's Mansion should not treat them as a whole. There must be great differences within this force that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Prince Mu's Mansion did not participate in the rebellion, so we will deal with them as ordinary gentry.
All the forces involved in the rebellion in Prince Mu's Mansion must not be spared, and they must resolutely fight against the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty survivors.
Regarding those who were captured in rebellion, the leader was sentenced to death, and all those who participated were sentenced to life imprisonment.
Send them to the most dangerous places for forced labor.
These people will not be spared."
Wang Zhongce and Wu Donglin listened to Su He's opinion and left Lingyun Palace.
…………………………
Wu Donglin rushed to Dali Temple. He first wrote to other Dali temples how to deal with the prisoners.
Then there was a public trial of the prisoners there in Shaanxi.
Shaanxi is closest to Hanzhong, and the prisoners have been escorted to Hanzhong.
Hong Chengchou was called out by the patrol, and he thought he was going to meet the King of Qin.
He was a little reserved before, just wanting Qin King Su He to recruit him personally.
His status as the governor of the three sides was sufficient for Qin King Su He to personally recruit him.
Gradually, he realized something was wrong, and the policeman's attitude towards him was very bad.
The place he went to was not the Prince of Qin's Mansion, but Dali Temple.
Hong Chengchou was forced to kneel down by the patrolman. He didn't even hear what Wu Donglin was saying?
He only heard the sentence against him and was immediately executed.
Hong Chengchou's eyes widened. The yellow-robed thief's treatment of him was completely different from what he thought.
He felt that he was about to be escorted out by the patrol, and immediately shouted loudly: "I surrender, I surrender! I want to see the King of Qin."
The patrolman immediately took out a piece of cloth to gag Hong Chengchou's mouth and hung him on a wooden pole outside Dali Temple.
Hong Chengchou could not believe until his death that he was really executed.
When Sun Chengzong saw Hong Chengchou's body, he knew that he would end up in the same way.
He walked into Dali Temple, puffed up his chest and refused to kneel.
When Sun Chengzong heard that he would be released in court, he wanted to kill him.
Wu Donglin immediately stopped him and explained to Sun Chengzong what he needed to do.
For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong would go back and be executed by Emperor Chongzhen.
He must also return to the Ming Dynasty and spread the method of dealing with the thieves in yellow.
