Chapter 426

After reading the information, Gao Huan looked solemn.

The Qing army discovered that he was constantly transporting supplies to Hedong, so they captured the three palaces of Wei Hui, Huai Qing and Zhangde.

These three prefectures are located on the north bank of the Yellow River, across from Luoyang, and are the three prefectures on the north bank of Henan.

The Qing army occupied this place and cut off Gao Huan's route from Mengjin Ferry to transport the supplies directly across the Yellow River to Shanxi.

In the past, the Shun Army mainly relied on plunder and had no idea of ​​logistics supply.

Now the Shun Army is fighting against the Qing army, and it is fighting within its own territory. The previous tactics are not good, so there must be supplies.

When Dorgon captured the three prefectures, it was equivalent to cutting off the supply line of Shun Army in southern Shanxi.

Now, if Hedong wants to obtain military resources from Henan, it must first transport it from Luoyang to Guanzhong, then cross the river from Pujin, and enter Shanxi.

In this way, the supply line will be more than doubled.

Gao Huan put away the information and knew that the Shun Army would not last long in Hedong.

At this time, Gao Huan strode into the mansion of Duke Liang and ordered in a deep voice: "Go and invite several Grand Secretarys."

Yang Yan immediately clasped his fists and said, "I am humble and accept the order!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

At this time, Gao Huan walked into the Liang Duke's Mansion and was immediately shocked by the buildings inside, as well as rocks and attics.

After occupying Nanjing City, although the nobles and officials surrendered enthusiastically, Gao Huan did not let them go.

These people just succumbed to his force and were forced by the situation. Once they were given the opportunity, they would inevitably fight back.

Moreover, if people do not impose severe punishment, if they see rumors about making him, they will go against him. As long as they lose in the end, there will be nothing wrong. Then some people will feel that the rebellion of him is not a big deal, and they can just admit defeat if they lose.

Of course, in addition to shocking the little boy, the deeper reason is to realize the realization of resources.

Therefore, with Gao Huan's insistence, the Hongguang court issued an order to deprive Duke Xu Hongji of Wei, Duke Zhu Guobi of Funing, Duke Zhang Gongri of Longping, Duke Li Zushu of Linhuai, Duke Sun Weicheng of Huaining, Duke Tang Guozuo of Lingbi, Duke Liu Zuochang of Anyuan, Duke Deng Wenyou of Dingyuan, Duke Chang Yingjun of Xiangcheng, Duke Zou Cunyi of Daxing, Duke Liu Yunji of Ningjin, Duke Liu Yunji of all the titles of the governor Zhao Zhilong and other nobles? The property was confiscated and all the people were imprisoned.

In the Ming Dynasty for more than 270 years, these nobles had long been reclaimed.

As nobles, they should have been the class that the Ming Dynasty could fight the most and trusted and rely on the most? But they forgot their mission.

When the Qing army advanced south, the nobles in Nanjing led more than 100,000 troops. Without firing a single arrow, they directly knelt down and surrendered to the Qing army.

Therefore, Gao Huan took advantage of it without hesitation? This time, we will solve them first.

After this mansion of Duke of Wei was confiscated by the Hongguang court, it was given to Gao Huan by Zhu Yousong.

At this time, Gao Huan came to the flower hall and sat and drank tea and waited.

Not long after that, Zhou Yanru, Ma Shiying, Ding Qirui, and Gao Youcai came to the mansion of Duke Liang.

These four people are now the Grand Secretary of the Hongguang Court? Zhou Yanru was the chief minister of Chongzhen and still served as the chief minister. Ma Shiying and Ding Qirui have made contributions to their achievements, while Gao Youcai should have brought back the jade seal and the imperial edict, so he entered the cabinet.

"Duke!" Zhou Yanru and others came in and greeted Gao Huan.

Gao Huan waved his hand, "Everyone can sit down!"

Hongguang Dynasty was newly established and the cabinet was in a lot of affairs. After Zhou Yanru sat down, he asked, "I wonder what the Duke of the State summoned him?"

Logically speaking, Zhou Yanru is the chief assistant and his status is higher than Gao Huan. However, he is very cognitive and has a very positive attitude, so Gao Huan supports him as the chief assistant.

Gao Huan handed the information to everyone, and then said, "Jiannu captured Huaiqing, Wei Hui and Zhangde's three prefectures, cutting off our direct contact with Shanxi. The governor thought that Li Zicheng would not last long in Hedong. After the Qing army conquered Hedong, he would definitely plan for the Central Plains. This time, I asked you to come here, hoping that you could complete three things as soon as possible!"

The four of them were a little surprised that the Qing army had made great progress in Hedong. When Li Zicheng collapsed, the next one would be Hongguang.

This made everyone feel a crisis!

Zhou Yanru said seriously: "I wonder what three things are?"

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "First, liquidate and support the traitor party as soon as possible, second, restore production and order in Jiangnan. Third, shoot a major vassal in Henan, Shandong and Huaibei to coordinate the response to the Jiannu going south!"

Everyone heard Gao Huan's request and talked for a while.

Zhou Yanru and Taoism: "The third thing is not difficult. We can ask someone to write a letter immediately, and then ask Your Majesty to issue an order to let the Duke Jiedushi, Henan, Shandong, and Huaibei military and political affairs!"

Now the Hongguang court is just like Gao Huan’s family, so there is no problem to establish a vassal.

Ma Shiying said: "The second thing and the first thing are a bit troublesome to deal with."

Gao Huan frowned and said, "What do you say?"

Ma Shiying said: "Who hasn't supported Lu in Jiangnan? If the liquidation is thoroughly settled, the involvement is too wide, and the officials have been removed from a large number of them, the court will not be able to operate normally!"

Gao Huan heard the words and pondered for a moment, then said coldly: "The culprit who supports Lu, plus the person who spreads rumors and causes trouble, must be liquidated. This cannot be compromised."

Gao Youcai took over the conversation and said seriously: "This cabinet agrees with the Duke's opinion and must be completely cleaned up! As for the vacant position after the liquidation, I think we can choose from the opposition officials to resume."

Several people looked at each other and knew that Gao Youcai meant to regain the eunuch party.

Gao Youcai was born in the eunuch party. Since he was designated as a rebel party in the early years of Chongzhen, he has been oppressed by Donglin for more than ten years.

Now that the serf turns over and sings, he naturally wants to take revenge.

Moreover, although Gao Youcai turned over and occupied a high position, former eunuchsmen wrote to him, hoping to serve the people again.

Gao Youcai turned over, so he naturally had to take care of the old guys.

Gao Huan knew that eunuchs were not a good thing, but this group of people were very good at making money, so he nodded, "I think it's OK!"

Although Zhou Yanru and Donglin were not in the way, the Hongguang court had to gain a foothold in Jiangnan and could not completely stand against the gentry of Jiangnan.

"Duke! If the reckoning is made completely and then the opposition officials are restored, I am afraid that the imperial court's orders in Jiangnan will cause the people to resist!" Zhou Yanru tactfully reminded.

Gao Huan understood what he meant and said in a deep voice: "There are three vacancy in the cabinet. You can take out two seats to give Shi Kefa and other Southeast gentry to comfort him."

Gao Huan means giving the gentry in the southeast and two great scholars the position, so as to win over a group of gentry in the southeast and reduce the confrontation between Jiangnan and Hongguang court.

Zhou Yanru and the other four understood Gao Huan's meaning, and then said in a deep voice: "We understand."

Gao Huan then nodded, picked up the teacup, and said as if he was instructing his subordinates, "Then go and do it!"

(It's even later, there are two chapters tonight.)
