At this time, except for Qian Qianyi and Qian Qianyi's family, most of the remaining servants with uncertain roots inside and outside Qian's Mansion were all cleared out.
All the work of serving people, including cleaning and cooking, is done by the people in the prison.
The original manpower of the Qian Mansion can only be used to attack!
Zhu Hongyu still attaches great importance to his own safety!
Even Qian Qianyi and Qian Qianyi's family members were restricted in their scope of activities and were not allowed to enter or leave other areas of Qian's Mansion without summons.
Otherwise, the imperial guards responsible for Zhu Hongyu's safety would kill people without any hesitation.
But even so, Qian Qianyi was full of pride that Zhu Hongyu could stay in the Qian Mansion.
Just because Zhu Hongyu lived in his Qian Mansion, I dare not say more. At least from now on, no one will dare to accuse Qian Qianyi of surrendering to the Qing captives to come out and make trouble.
Because, since Zhu Hongyu chose to stay in Qian Mansion, it means that he trusts Qian Qianyi.
From now on, Qian Qianyi can barely be regarded as a confidant of His Highness the Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty!
I don’t believe that anyone dares to dig into his old money!
The entire Qian Mansion inside and outside was guarded by Zhu Hongyu's imperial guards at all levels.
The main hall of the Qian family was cleared out and used as a study room for Zhu Hongyu to handle official business.
At this time, in the main hall of the Qian family, Zhu Hongyu was convening the generals of the Ming army to discuss matters.
"From the current point of view, after the decisive battle in Jiangnan, it is only a matter of time before all parts of the south surrender."
"Jiujiang, Anqing and other places in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River have already sent letters of surrender to the Ming Dynasty, expressing their intention to surrender."
"The state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River, and even some state capitals in the north of the Yangtze River, also sent declarations of surrender to the Ming Dynasty!!"
When Zhu Hongyu said this, the expression on his face was full of excitement and joy.
It can be seen that he is very happy with the list of reductions that have almost filled his desk recently.
"Next, there are three things that are most important to me, Daming!"
"First, prepare to move the capital, and move the Imperial Palace in Guangzhou to Nanjing!"
Moving the capital to Nanjing is a very necessary thing!
As long as it is moved, it will show that Zhu Hongyu is committed to the world and will never be partial to peace.
If he is only seeking a separatist regime rather than unification of the world, Guangzhou or Lin'an would be a good choice.
But if he wanted to unify the world, then the capital of the Ming Dynasty could only be Nanjing.
First, because of Nanjing’s geographical location, Nanjing is right along the Yangtze River.
If he wanted to move the capital to Nanjing, the first thing he would have to face was military pressure from Jiangbei.
This forced him to concentrate the main force of the Ming army on the Yangtze River, and the army was already concentrated on the Yangtze River. What should he do next?
Apart from the active or passive Northern Expedition to eliminate military threats to Nanjing, are there any other options?
The second reason is that Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, and then launched the Northern Expedition to drive out the Tartars and restore China.
The political significance of establishing Nanjing as the capital is extraordinary.
Seeing everyone agreeing in unison, Zhu Hongyu continued.
"The second thing is to send troops to take over important places such as Jiujiang and Anqing."
"Now that the Qing government has been completely defeated and has retreated to the north of the Yangtze River, our territory of Ming Dynasty and Wu Sangui are bordered by many places."
"Under the current situation where the Qing army is temporarily unable to move south, what Ming Dynasty needs to be careful about most is the military threat from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River."
Zhu Hongyu's meaning is very clear.
Wu Sangui poses a great threat, so be prepared to fight Wu Sangui in advance.
"Furthermore, all the state governments in Jiangnan need to send personnel to take over!"
"Those officials who joined the Ming Dynasty were promoted with merit and ability, those with no bad deeds were retained in their original posts, and those with some bad deeds were demoted."
"Those who have bad records will be punished in prison!"
"..."
With the victory in the decisive battle in Jiangnan, Zhu Hongyu now has the capital to settle scores with certain people.
Zhu Hongyu is also ready to punish those corrupt officials who are causing harm to the local area.
Because, in the next two or three years, Zhu Hongyu will not launch any large-scale wars with foreign countries.
He will focus his energy mainly on the governance of internal affairs.
Only by repairing the internal affairs can he accumulate enough capital for the subsequent Northern Expedition.
Everyone agreed in unison.
"We understand!"
Everyone has realized that the political arena of the Ming Dynasty will not be so easy to mess with in the future.
Before winning the decisive battle in Jiangnan, Zhu Hongyu turned a blind eye to many things in order to win over the local government and stabilize the court.
If he sees it, he will pretend not to see it.
Or simply pretend nothing happened!
Only when certain things completely cross the line will he end.
Zhu Hongyu's external image has always been tolerant and generous.
However, what Zhu Hongyu was thinking deep down in his heart was only proved by his thick little notepad.
But it’s different now!
Zhu Hongyu is about to rectify the internal affairs, and the next Ming Dynasty may usher in a bloody storm.
Everyone is aware of this.
Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, and then continued.
"Then, there's the third point!"
"Prepare the preparations for paying homage to Xiaoling Mausoleum in advance. I am going to pay homage to Xiaoling Mausoleum!"
After all, the city of Nanjing was recovered. How could Zhu Hongyu not report it to his ancestors and show off?
Thinking of this, Zhu Hongyu looked at Zheng Chenggong and said.
"Lao Taishan has to shoulder the burden of the preparations for this visit to Xiaoling!"
"any questions?"
Zheng Chenggong said with his fists clasped.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I promise to complete the mission!"
When he said this, Zheng Chenggong was still very confident.
He is a student of Qian Qianyi. He has studied Confucianism since he was a child and is proficient in various rituals.
Allowing him to be responsible for the work of worshiping Xiaoling fully demonstrated Zhu Hongyu's trust in him.
Before the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, who did the work of ancestor worship in Fengyang every year during the Ming Dynasty?
British public!
As we all know, the British government was the absolute confidant of the Ming royal family.
This shows the trust that the Ming Dynasty royal family had in the British Duke!
Of course, the British government did not live up to the trust of the Ming Dynasty. During the Jiashen Incident, the last British Duke Zhang Shize died in battle outside the capital city and died for his country!
It can be said that he was a rare hard-core person among these nobles in the late Ming Dynasty.
Now, although Zhu Hongyu did not ask Zheng Chenggong to control the imperial guards, he did leave the matter of ancestor worship to him.
The most important thing for the country is to worship Rong!
If one of the two is given to him, does it still count as trust?
I dare not say more, but at least now Zheng Chenggong can be sure that Zhu Hongyu has no intention of killing the donkey.
After Zhu Hongyu finished arranging the business, he arranged for everyone to have a meal together.
The army cook prepared several hard dishes and brought them to the table, and also prepared some drinks.
The dishes are all hard dishes, with large chunks of meat. Although they are not delicate enough, the taste is really good.
