The atmosphere in Nanjing city these days is very unusual.
Ever since Zhu Cihong issued an order to Huang De to lead his troops to hunt down Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, the government and the public were in an uproar.
Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo actually rebelled The Ming Dynasty had no advantage over the Manchus and Li Zichen, and the rebellion of Er Liu made the Ming court's situation even worse.
The most frightening thing is that if Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo led their troops to surrender to the Donglu after looting in Shandong, the door to Shandong would be opened, and the Donglu could take advantage of the trend and go south at any time, directly threatening Southern Zhili.
If this is true, then the Ming Dynasty is really at a critical moment of life and death.
Therefore, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo must not be allowed to surrender from the northeast of Shandong.
Even if they are pursued and intercepted, they must be strangled within the jurisdiction of Shandong.
What worried the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty was that Huang Degong's troops were strong and strong, and going north to pursue Liu Liu was like a tiger coming out of the mountain.
What should we do if Huang Degong also becomes rebellious?
After all, people's hearts are separated from each other, and no one knows what Huang Degong is thinking.
But the Emperor Sheng didn't trust the people he hired, and he didn't use the people he doubted.
He trusted Huang Degong very much, and he seemed to take him as his arm.
Since the emperor has made such a statement, as a minister, there is naturally nothing to say.
We can only hope that Huang Decong and Gao Jie will become Yue Wumu and Han Shizhong of this dynasty, rather than treacherous villains seeking glory.
After Zhu Cihong arranged everything, he sat firmly in the Forbidden City and waited for news to come back from the front line.
It's not like he hasn't thought about his personal expedition, but the current situation doesn't allow it.
If he were to personally conquer Shandong, a large part of the Shandong Ming army would inevitably be detached to escort him, and the number of people fighting Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo's troops would be greatly reduced.
This is something Zhu Cihong does not want to see.
Besides, the city of Nanjing seems to be calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent.
Many Xiaoxiao with ulterior motives are ready to take action.
Zhu Cixangruo was still able to suppress them in Nanjing.
If Zhu Cihong left Nanjing to conquer Shandong in person, there is no guarantee that these people would not plot evil.
If a fire breaks out in the backyard and the Southern Capital is in turmoil, it will be a serious blow to the imperial court.
If the time comes in the future, Zhu Cixiang still wants to go to the front line to boost morale, but now is obviously not the time.
The only thing that pleased Zhu Cixiang was that Qin Liangyu's arrival gave the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty a reassurance.
It seems that where the old man stops, it can have a soothing effect.
There is truth in the saying that an old person in a family is like a treasure.
The progress in shipbuilding is also gratifying.
Since the launch of the first small-sized Fuzhou ship, Longjiang Shipyard has built five more sea-going ships.
Now the imperial court has six warships in its hands.
Although this number is still far from the goal of forming a navy, it is a good sign.
Zhu Cixiang believed that the navy would be ready in half a year at most, and by then Huang Ming would be much less dependent on Zheng Zhilong.
After Han Zanzhou was severely reprimanded by Zhu Cixiang, he learned the hard way and launched a major rectification throughout the internal factory.
The intelligence gathering mechanism of the Military Intelligence Department also made corresponding changes.
As an old man in the palace, Han Zanzhou knew that the emperor would not have much patience.
If he is not qualified for the position of factory owner, there will be countless people vying to take his place.
Now the reason why Han Zanzhou can compete with Liu Chuanzong is because he also holds the title of eunuch supervising the inner factory.
If we just rely on the name of the eunuch who is in charge of the imperial horse eunuch, it cannot be compared with the eunuch who is the ceremonial supervisor and the admiral of the East Factory.
Han Zanzhou is no different from Liu Chuanzong and is not an old man from the East Palace family, so he naturally needs to be more careful.
For him, losing power means eternal doom.
Only by firmly hugging His Majesty the Emperor's thick legs can he be prosperous.
This time Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing rebelled suddenly, and the internal factory did not give any warning, which disappointed the emperor.
Han Zanzhou was also furious.
These bastards are really shameless.
Donglu's secret work has sneaked into Fengyang Mansion without even noticing it.

No wonder His Majesty is so angry.
Han Zanzhou immediately abolished the stall responsible for Fengyang Mansion's intelligence collection and appointed another person.
However, he also understood that this alone was not enough.
The operating model of the internal military intelligence department needed to be significantly changed.
Only in this way could efficiency be improved.
His initial idea was to introduce a competition mechanism, in which intelligence collection in the same area would be handed over to two different groups of people.
These two groups of people do not belong to each other, have no contact with each other, and work completely independently.
They regularly send the collected intelligence back to the Nanjing headquarters through the unique channels of the Internal Factory Military Intelligence Department, and hand it over to it for summary and analysis to determine the winner.
Win, reward, lose and punish.
Only in this way can we stimulate these military intelligence officers who are working latently in the local areas, and can the internal military intelligence department develop in a better direction.
Han Zanzhou is very clear about his position.
Since he wants to be the emperor's eagle dog, he must be the most ferocious one, and he must suppress Dongchang and Jinyiwei under him.
He would bite whomever the emperor asked him to bite without any hesitation.
Because he understood that everything he got came from the emperor's reward.
The emperor can reward him with these things, but he can naturally take them away easily.
For a eunuch, loyalty to the emperor is not just a slogan, but also the best way to protect himself.
The situation in Jining Prefecture is getting worse and worse.
Two rebels, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, had thrown hundreds of corpses into the river leading to Shuimen.
Chen Fu, the commander of the Xiaoguo Camp, had no other choice but to order his soldiers to shoot arrows at the rebels who were carrying the corpses.
There are more and more corpses in the river, and in some places they have even piled up to the height of a person.
What's even more frightening is that the corpse has begun to rot, and the stench wafts around it, making it nauseating.
Getting water from the creek is a no-brainer.
Chen Fu ordered people to tightly close the water gate, and no water could be obtained from this water source under any circumstances.
Without supplies, drinking water in the city became tense.
On the one hand, Chen Fu ordered people to dig deep wells, and on the other hand, he ordered people to use water tanks to collect rainwater.
As for the water originally stored in the water cellars, he had to use more sparingly.
Unfortunately, God seemed to be playing a joke on the soldiers of Xiaoguo Camp.
It rained only lightly for several days, and the deep well dug was filled with yellow mud but no clear water.
Chen Fu had no choice but to reduce the daily drinking water of ordinary people, and the animals were dying of thirst.
Even the amount of drinking water for the soldiers of Xiaoguo Camp was reduced, and the soldiers had to use bowls to catch their urine and drink it twice.
This was only five days after Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo dumped their bodies into the river.
Chen Fu made a preliminary estimate and found that there would be enough water in the city for up to five days.
If he couldn't dig a deep well with clear water in five days, he didn't know what would happen.
Thirst is more likely to drive people crazy than hunger.
If water is completely cut off, mutiny in the army or even roaring in the camp are possible.
At that time, the situation was beyond Chen Fu's control
