Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

To put it bluntly, you are scaring yourself!

These smart people!

My own doubts are doubts...

But he didn’t even dare to say a single word!

Not to mention recording it!

——Because they think too much...

They dare not!

In addition - Jin Yiwei and Dongchang can catch the Western missionaries who have been hiding deeply.

Even the body of Xu Guangqi's granddaughter was hung quietly on the church built by the Xu family...

Could it be that their private records could be concealed from Jin Yiwei and Dongchang?

I'm afraid that's not possible, right?

Maybe they slept with the concubine in which room at night and what tricks they used...

They will all be placed on the emperor's desk...

……

The villain's imagination has made it a conclusion that Donglu destroyed the Kong family!

No one dares to commit a crime...

There were even members of the Confucius family scattered around, who used the banner of the Confucius family to commit crimes and rob people of their property.

In the past, no one dared to care about someone with the surname "Kong"!

however--

After the Confucian family was destroyed, they immediately changed their rhetoric - saying that they were the names of the Confucian family in disguise!

Everyone is smart if they can make their family fortune so big.

Since you are a smart person, it is easier to think!

If you think too much, you will be afraid...

The Kong Mansion is gone!

This special girl...

Who is not afraid!

The emperor could kill the entire Confucius family, let alone a few fish that slipped through the net!

At worst, the emperor could kill their whole family just by saying "After investigation, they are fake descendants of the Kong family"!

……

"call!"

Mr. Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Xing pretended not to notice Li Benzhen's doubtful eyes.

Ever since the emperor sent someone to support her, she had made up her mind to be a good minister.

What the emperor does is his business.

as a servant.

What she has to do is to complete the tasks assigned by the emperor.

Besides, who wouldn’t want a duke to join him?

So what if she's a woman?

It’s not like the Ming Dynasty didn’t exist!

Qin Liangyu, Mrs. Qin Guo, is a high-ranking minister!

Mrs. Qin has been granted the title of Marquis, and as a woman, she stands among the most distinguished and noble men in the court.

Still Xungui’s top performer!

The emperor can bestow upon Mrs. Qin the dignity of a royal lady...

Will she be missing?

The emperor could produce so many edicts on titles and kingdoms, so would he dislike her?

do not forget!

She, Mrs. Xing, is not yet 30 years old!

As long as she follows His Majesty closely and completes His Majesty's errands, will her glory and wealth be missing?

Even if it is not as good as Mrs. Qin...

Can't get the benefits of marquis and feudal state...

But, how can I still be reluctant to part with an earl?

The earl also has a fiefdom in a township!

Even if you take another step and get a viscount, it is still good!

The viscount can still manage a large or small fiefdom!

As long as she has the status of Lord, she will no longer be afraid of other people's calculations as she is orphaned and widowed.

Mr. Xing waved his hand:

"Brother Shen!

Go down and dispatch the army! "

Li Benshen clasped his fists and accepted the order and left.

Follow the emperor's lead and replace the car next year!

He has been coveting Minsheng Automobile for a long time.

Unfortunately, the price of this thing is too high.

Unless you are promoted to a lordship, you can get the official internal price...

Mrs. Xing waved her hand to summon the messengers, and her eyebrows stood up:

"Send an order to Li Chengdong and order him to set up camp immediately, proceed along the Weishan Lake Canal, and rush to the direction of Xiacun Town.

Let me push the Qing army closer to the New Canal!

Tell Li Chengdong that if the Qing army does not enter the Western Front, don't worry about it.

If not, call me! "

The Xing family has tens of thousands of troops, but they are not afraid of Qing troops.

No big deal, just do it!

They are all raised by their mother and father, so who is afraid of the other?

……

The canal has two routes in the Xuzhou section.

One is through a section of the Yellow River, going north outside Xuzhou City, and connecting to Shandong through Weishan Lake, Zhangzhuang Lake, Chishan Lake, and Lümeng Lake.

This section is the old west line of the canal.

However, the sediment loss in the upper reaches of the Yellow River is too serious.

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, along with the sedimentation of the Yellow River, this section often suffered from water damage.

Therefore, from the first year of Longqing to the 32nd year of Wanli, because the Yellow River frequently overflowed, in order to avoid the danger of the Yellow River, the Ming Dynasty dug the Jia Canal.

From then on, there was an eastern line of the canal, starting from the mouth of Xiacun River in the north and ending in Pizhou in the south.

Although the canal is separated from the Yellow River, the Xuzhou section of the western canal is still capable of navigation.

What Xing wanted to do was to station an army at the mouth of the Xiancun Canal.

This is to protect the military town of Xuzhou.

After all, it is better to rob the Qing army...

It would be bad if someone robbed my hometown!

Being prepared for a rainy day is what a general does...

Xing gave the order and the Xuzhou army got busy.

Li Chengdong led the army northward along the western line of the canal and headed straight for Xiakou.

Along the way, the Ming army marched in with great fanfare, their banners covering the sky and the sun, without any intention of covering up.

……

"what?

Li Chengdong rushed towards Xiacunkou? "

Dorgon's eyes almost popped out.

He looked at the spy kneeling in front of him in disbelief, feeling that his hands and feet were cold!

The news of Li Chengdong's march was soon detected by Qing army spies, and was reported to the regent of the Qing father.

And the sophisticated Dorgon did have the intention of launching a sneak attack on Xuzhou.

Along the way, he endured humiliation and hardship just to hide himself so that he could sneak attack on Xuzhou!

As long as Xuzhou is in hand, no matter how powerful Zhu Youjian is, he has a chance to make a comeback!

At the very least, Jiangnan can be defended to death...

As long as Xuzhou is in hand, he can drag the Ming army to the battlefield he wants!

Dorgon pretended to be a grandson all the way.

I thought Xuzhou was already captured...

however……

All my heart is given to dogs...

Wow wow cool!

……

Xuzhou is an important town.

Xuzhou is stuck at an important node on the western line of the canal. Its geographical location is so important!

How great is Xuzhou's strategic position - as long as you occupy Xuzhou's favorable position, you can attack Qilu by going north, sweep the Jianghuai River by going south, and strive for hegemony in the Central Plains by going west.

It can be said that the north and south are locked together and the east and west are at the crossroads.

There are two crucial strategic locations in the Central Plains.

——Xuzhou, Xiangyang!

Xuzhou is an important place in the Jianghuai River:

When the southern forces control Xuzhou, they can look north to Henan, Shandong, and Hebei;

Retreating can protect the Jianghuai River and protect the Yangtze River defense line.

And if the northern forces control Xuzhou, they can conquer the Huaihe River Basin and then covet the south of the Yangtze River;

Retreating can protect the Henan and Shandong wings and serve as a barrier to Hebei!

Xuzhou surrounding topographic map

This is why the lowest strategy among Yan Ermei's suggestions to Shi Kefa was to stick to Xuzhou.

Yan Ermei has been determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty all her life. Unfortunately, she did not meet the right person when Nanming was most likely to come back...

——Master Shi, only his pure name can be praised, but he has no strategic vision at all!

With the loss of Xuzhou, the Nanming regime lost its strategic initiative.

If you are passively beaten, how can you not perish?
