Hebei and Cangzhou.

In the wilderness, a team of cavalry galloped on the plain, with golden wheat fields on both sides of the official road.

After the meeting was held in Jinling and the new strategy for Ganchao was formulated, Gao Huan began a secret northern tour.

At the conference, Gao Huan formulated a plan to unify the world within fifteen years. He was not joking, but serious.

Moreover, Gao Huan's first goal is indeed Hedong.

After the Qing army withdrew from Hebei, Gao Huan began to order Gao Mingheng to restore Hebei and make Hebei operation a base to attack the Qing army, so that the army could obtain unparalleled grain supplies nearby and reduce logistics pressure.

In the past, when the Ming Dynasty established its capital in Beijing, there were princes and nobles of the Ming Dynasty in the capital, hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and more than 100,000 Beijing soldiers, which made it impossible for Hebei to fully supply and needed to transport grain from the south.

Beijing's population has now dropped sharply, and Ganchao adopts large farm planting methods in Hebei, which has improved the planting efficiency, allowing Hebei's grain to be not only self-sufficiency, but also provided to Hebei's garrisons, reducing the pressure on transporting grain from the south.

At this time, Gao Huan held the horse's reins and looked at the undulating Mai Lang beside the official road, feeling quite satisfied, "Gao Mingheng did a good job in Hebei."

Xia Wanchun smiled and said, "Governor Gao is in Cangzhou, and Tongzhou sees a large granary. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Gao Huan shook his head, "Forget it. The wheat in Hebei is about to be ripe. I am worried that the Qing army will send troops to Hebei to harvest, so I'd better go to Peiping first."

In order to restore Hebei, Ganchao invested a lot, recruited refugees, moved people, allocated farms, provided seeds and oxen, and spent millions of silver dollars.

Now that Hebei has just recovered a little, Gao Huan does not want to be destroyed by the Qing army, so he decided to take the lead, collect the land in Hedong, and drive the Qing army out of the pass completely.

After Gao Huan finished speaking, he raised his whip and led everyone to Beiping.

After Gao Huan became emperor, he changed Nanjing to Jinling and Ganchao capital, while Beijing was changed to Peking, losing his original political status.

At this time, outside the city of Peking, Gao Mingheng, who received the news, led a group of officials to stand in the ten-mile pavilion to greet him.

Soon, Gao Huan came to Changting, surrounded by many cavalrymen and strangled the reins of the horse.

"Your Majesty! I have been waiting for a long time!" Gao Mingheng saluted with a smile.

Gao Huan glanced at everyone and found that Sun Chuanting was there too. So he smiled and waved his hand, "You are all dear friends! Let's go to the city first to talk."

At that moment, the two teams formed a team, followed Gao Huan and galloped into Beiping City.

Gao Huan entered the city, moved directly into the palace, and then held a military meeting vigorously.

After all, his journey was not hidden. The Qing army and Tang army's detailed work would soon know that Emperor Gao was coming to Hebei.

In the hall, Gao Mingheng, Sun Chuanting, Yuan Shizhong and others sat and waited. Soon, Gao Huan, who had changed into a regular dress, walked out with a smile and asked, "Sun Qing, when did you arrive?"

Sun Chuanting saluted, "Reported to Your Majesty, I have set off from Luoyang after receiving the secret order, and arrived only one day before Your Majesty."

Gao Huan nodded slightly, glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone was coming, he walked straight to his seat and sat down, and asked, "Aiqing Gao, let's talk about the situation in Hedong!"

Gao Mingheng then stood up, saluted first, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty! Since last year, I have been paying attention to the movements in Hedong. The Military Information Department has also sent a large number of scouts to spy on Hedong's intelligence and draw a map of Hedong. Originally, with the efforts of the Military Information Department, several Han generals stationed in Hedong had already agreed to be correct. However, at the beginning of the year, I wonder if the Qing army received the news that they transferred the Han generals from Hedong and sent them to North Korea to station them, allowing Ajige to take charge of Taiyuan, which led to the insult of our rebellion."

"Now Ajige is guarding Taiyuan. It seems that the Qing army still attaches great importance to Hedong and does not intend to give up Hedong!" Gao Huan said in a deep voice.

Gao Mingheng nodded, "After Ajige arrived in Hedong, in addition to stepping up the search for the people of Hedong, he also often sent cavalry out of Taihang Eight Paths to harass us. He should have wanted to make a difference by relying on Hedong."

Gao Huan narrowed his eyes, "Then I can't keep him."

Gao Mingheng said: "Although Ajige wanted to make a difference in Hedong, in order to prevent the Han people from turning against each other, the Qing court transferred the Han army and a large number of officials from Hedong to North Korea and appointed Mongolians to manage Hedong. Where can those Mongolians manage the place, they only know how to plunder the people. Now that nine out of ten families in Hedong are empty, the harvest will definitely be a failure this year. I think the time for our dynasty to recover Hedong is ripe."

Gao Huan came to Peiping this time to preside over the battle to collect Hedong and then take advantage of the situation to destroy Li Jiyu.

"I came this time to achieve unification according to the strategy of the court taking Hedong first, then Guanzhong, and finally Sichuan." Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Since the Qing family believes that the time is ripe, can the Qing family have a strategy to collect Hedong?"

Gao Huan said in the newspaper that unifying the world within fifteen years is actually to paralyze all parties.

When they saw it for fifteen years, they felt that there was still time, but Gao Huan had actually decided to end the war in the pass within five to six years.

Gao Mingheng said: "It depends on what Your Majesty means."

"Oh?" Gao Huan asked, "What do you say?"

Gao Mingheng first asked someone to expand the map, and then said: "The Qing army had less than 60,000 troops in Hedong, and our dynasty had nearly 200,000 troops in Hebei, and it had an absolute advantage in military strength. This battle depends on how Your Majesty wants to fight! If Your Majesty wants to make a quick decision, we will attack from Jingxing. As long as the army attacks Hedong, Ajige will inevitably flee north, and the land of Hedong can be decided by an edict."

Gao Huan nodded, "What if I don't rush to make a quick decision?"

Gao Mingheng pointed to the map, "Then let's go out of Juyongguan, enter Xuanda, and then go south to Yanmen to cut off Ajige's escape north. The main force attacked Hedong from Xing and annihilated Ajige in Taiyuan."

Gao Huan stroked his beard, "The more Qing troops flee outside the pass, the more unfavorable it will be for encirclement and suppression in the future. I chose the latter and annihilate Ajige in Taiyuan to make up for the regret of not being able to annihilate the Qing troops in Hebei."

Gao Mingheng bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty is wise."

At this time, Gao Huan asked, "Calue Hedong, are you considering Li Jiyu?"

Gao Mingheng smiled and said, "Isn't your Majesty the call to Supervisor Sun to Peking just to discuss Li Jiyu's affairs?"

Gao Huan laughed at the sound and asked, "Sun Qing, do you know your mission?"

Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "If Li Jiyu sends troops to Hedong, I will suppress Tongguan!"

Gao Huan nodded slightly, but then shook his head again, "This is not enough. Li Jiyu's management of Tongguan is extremely strong and will not be easily scared. If his troops leave Hedong, I want you to attack southern Shanxi from Huaiqing, and then advance westward to cut off Li Jiyu's retreat."
