Zhao Ming stationed troops in Chongming. Relying on his Western Barbarian gunship in his hand, he showed off his power and showed his power. He was about the Yangtze River whenever he wanted to enter and whenever he wanted to, just like his own backyard.

Although the Qing army was far stronger than Zhao Ming, Duoduo could kill Zhao Ming with just one finger on land, but he had no choice but to take Zhao Ming on the garrison island.

This time Duoduo attacked Zhejiang, Zhao Ming entered the Yangtze River and directly general. When Duoduo entered Huguang, Zhao Ming would inevitably enter the Yangtze River again. In short, no matter what strategy the Qing army used, Zhao Ming only needed one move to rush into the Yangtze River, which was enough to disgust the Qing Dynasty.

In terms of strength, Duoduo could obviously crush Zhao Ming, but Zhao Tiebang was not a stick, but was quite cunning. As soon as the main force of the Qing army arrived, he hid on the island and became a turtle. As soon as the main force of the Qing army left, he came out to make trouble again.

This made Duoduo very angry, but he had no choice but to drive him crazy.

Duoduo listened to Hong Chengchou's words and pondered for a while, "The news came from the Governor of Huguang Tong Yanghe that the Pseudo Ming Governor Du Yinxi, who was in charge of more than 300,000 rebels, besieged Jingzhou. The Pseudo Ming Governor He Tengjiao led more than 100,000 people to Yuezhou and shocked Wuchang. The King sent Lek Dehun to lead 20,000 elite cavalry to Huguang. The King would then move his troops westward. What should you do if this Zhao Manzi entered the Yangtze River again?"

Hong Chengchou hurriedly said, "Prince, Zhao Tiebang succeeded this time. First, I, the Qing Dynasty, had no navy, and second, I didn't expect that the pirates came from the sea and were negligent in defense. Now Zhao Tiebang is entrenched in Chongming. Although the slaves cannot conquer Chongming, it is not difficult for the prince to keep 20,000 elite soldiers and assist more than 100,000 green camps in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It is not difficult to guard against Zhao Tiebang."

Duoduo asked in a deep voice, "How are you going to defend?"

This time, Hong Chengchou made a mistake in command, and was worried that the Qing Dynasty would hold him accountable. He had already thought about the draft, so he hurriedly said: "Report to the prince, I have three strategies. As long as I implement it, Zhao Tiebang will be destroyed within three years."

"It will take three years?" Duoduo looked unhappy. He wanted to catch Zhao Ming now and peel him off alive, but he still said with a gloomy face: "You say!"

Hong Chengchou hurriedly said: "The first is to block the coast. Zhao Tiebang is holding more than 100,000 people and occupying Chongming. The food and food supply will inevitably be insufficient. The slaves are ready to block the coastal and the Yangtze River coast so that they cannot get supplies. Zhao Tiebang will not be able to strengthen his strength. If the blockade is successful, the bandits will inevitably be in trouble. This is a strategy to trap the enemy."

Duoduo nodded, and Hong Chengchou continued: "The second strategy is to choose a dangerous place to build a fort in Langshan, Fushan, Jingjiang, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and other places, and use heavy artillery to block the river surface. Zhao Tiebang is a navy warship, and the slave uses a fort to block the river surface so that it cannot enter the Yangtze River at will. This is a strategy to lock the enemy."

Hong Chengchou looked up at Duoduo, and saw that he listened carefully, so he continued: "With these two strategies, the slaves can trap the enemy in Shazhou, and the third strategy is to wipe out Zhao Tiebang."

Duoduo became interested, "How to destroy Zhao Manzi?"

Hong Chengchou said: "I thought that if I wanted to wipe out Zhao Tiebang, I could only train the navy. The first two strategies were to trap Zhao Tiebang, but to regain Chongming and wipe out the pirates, I would still only train the navy. My Qing Dynasty was a big land and its resources were entrenched on an isolated island, and its manpower and material resources were far weaker than the Qing Dynasty. As long as the Qing army decided to train the navy, Zhao Tiebang would definitely be able to wipe out Zhao Tiebang within a few years."

Hong Chengchou's strategy was to lock Zhao Ming in order to prevent Zhao Ming from continuing to strengthen his strength and come out to destroy it. Then, relying on the huge advantage of the Qing Dynasty in terms of size, he trained a navy and then crushed Zhao Ming.

Historically, the Qing Dynasty adopted this strategy for Taiwan, banning the seas, making it impossible for the Zheng army to obtain population and resources from the mainland, and then relying on the advantages of manpower and material resources, they trained navy troops to deal with Taiwan.

At this time, when the national strength is huge, no strategy or personal ability can actually be effective, and at most delay the time of defeat.

Duoduo looked at Hong Chengchou for a while, pondered for a moment, and felt that there was no other way at the moment, so he nodded, "I will leave the matter to you for the sake of Manzi Zhao. This time I went to Huguang, and I don't want another accident in Jiangnan."

When Hong Chengchou heard the words, he knew that he had passed the test and hurriedly kowtowed, "Don't worry, my lord, I will guard the south of the Yangtze River."

Duoduo's expression calmed down a little, and then asked: "I went to Huguang to fight, have the money, grain, and weapons prepared?"

After the Qing army entered the pass, they fought every year and consumed a lot, especially after receiving hundreds of thousands of Green Camp troops, their finances were no longer enough.

The north was decayed, the south occupied the new taxes on the Qing Dynasty, which obviously could not meet the expenses. If it weren’t for the previous massacre of the city and robbery, the Qing Dynasty’s finances would have gone bankrupt.

The Eight Banners soldiers had to eat and drink, and as they entered the pass, their appetite grew bigger and bigger. There were hundreds of thousands of Green Camp soldiers who were hungry and asked for money and food.

Although these green camp soldiers were not good at combat, they had to be given enough money. The Eight Banners soldiers only had more than 100,000, and the green camps were maintaining them in the local area. The Qing Dynasty needed them. If they could not send money and food, the Qing Dynasty's rule would inevitably collapse.

Now that the Qing Dynasty occupied most of the world, it turned out that relying on plunder to raise soldiers was not a long-term solution. The Qing Dynasty urgently needed to obtain stable tax revenue, so that the Qing court could get on the right track.

This is also the reason why Doorgun sent Hong Chengchou to governor Jiangnan. Jiangnan is a fertile land in the world and taxes are the best in the world. If Hong Chengchou could restore Jiangnan taxes, the financial situation of the Qing Dynasty would immediately embark on a virtuous cycle.

Hong Chengchou naturally understood his mission, but he heard Duoduo's words, but he became embarrassed and said, "Reported to the prince, the land in Jiangnan, after military disasters, the people killed in Yangzhou, Jiangyin, Jiaxing, Kunshan, Wusong and other places alone, have exceeded one million people, and people's livelihood has long been destroyed. Recently, Zhao Tiebang invaded the Yangtze River, which has made people unstable, and there are also Taihu thieves, the Tiandi bandits, Tiandi bandits, and the Tiandi bandits, causing chaos everywhere. It will take some time for the slaves to wipe out the Taihu thieves, clear the Tiandi bandits, and let the people live for a year before they can provide the prince with weapons, money and food."

When Duoduo heard the words, his face collapsed again, "Do you mean you can't provide money and food?"

Hong Chengchou hurriedly said: "Prince, I can only provide part of the military rations. Huguang is the granary of the world. When a large army enters Huguang, there should be no need to worry about food and salary."

As he said that, Hong Chengchou looked up and saw Duoduo’s bad expression, he hurriedly continued: “Prince, I have observed the situation of the pseudo-Ming army, and it is the snake in Changshan, headed by Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guizhou. The prince attacked the head and its tail swept, and then the Huguang bandit army shook Wuchang and shocked Jiangning. The prince attacked the tail this time and attacked the tail. The slave expected that his leader would inevitably fight back. If the prince attacked the west with the power of Jiangnan, and the Zhejiang bandit army would rise again, what should he do?”

Previously, the Qing army won consecutive battles and won too easily, so they did not take the Longwu court seriously, so they naturally did not seriously analyze the Ming army's strategy.

During the battle, the Qing army also had problems, and they would pacify wherever they were. The rebels in the south of the Yangtze River rose, and the Ming army in the east of Zhejiang threatened Hangzhou and pacified Zhejiang. There was no strategy to deal with the Nanming, or they felt that there was no need for any strategy to deal with the Nanming.

This made the Qing army seem to be led by the Ming army, and although they were both defeated, they did not find the key point, nor did they reappear when the Qing army advanced southward, and they were unstoppable and surrendered in the wind.

After hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Duoduo couldn't help but sit up straight and look serious.

This made him suddenly realize that when he went to Huguang, his opponent was not just the bandit army in Huguang, but the entire Changshan snake.

In the past year, the main place of the Qing army's war was in Jiangnan. Pingding the army and wiped out eastern Zhejiang. Most of the money and grain were sent out in Jiangnan. The treasury of Jiangnan was empty. If Jiangnan was allowed to pay a large amount of money and grain, the power of Jiangnan would be exhausted, and the civil resistance would arise again. Zhejiang Ming army made a comeback. Duoduo's battle to fight against Huguang might be halfway and he would not be able to continue.

Duoduo nodded slightly, "I understand that if Huguang wants to conquer, Jiangnan also needs to leave enough troops and money to defend. You only need to prepare the food for excavation. The remaining food will be solved in Huguang."

With the help of traitors and gentry, the Qing Dynasty's regime was transforming from a robber regime maintained by looting to a stable military colonial regime.

The Qing army no longer carried out large-scale looting for the areas that had already occupied, but instead used taxation situations to exploit and exploit. However, for areas that were not occupied and there were new conquered places, they still carried out large-scale looting to achieve the purpose of fighting to support the war and obtaining money, food and materials.

Huguang is the world's granary, so Duoduo is preparing to go to Huguang to loot, which can replenish the army and at the same time can also severely damage Nanming. It can be said that it will kill multiple goals in one fell swoop.

Hong Chengchou hurriedly praised: "The prince is wise and powerful, but if he wants to destroy the pseudo-Ming, he still needs to cut off the enemy seven inches. Jiangnan was guarded by his ministers and Boluobeile to block his head. The prince sent a large army to Huguang and pinch his tail. He sent another elite army, a group of Jinshenghuan, and from southern Jiangxi to attack Fujian Guang, to destroy the pseudo-Tang, and to kill the enemy into two sections, so that the bandit army had no heads, and the head could not be taken care of each other. Then, with the help of the wealth of the Zheng family in Fujian, it was enough to wipe out the enemy in Zhejiang, and then work together to pacify Hunan, Yunnan and Guizhou. Isn't it easy to unify the world!"

Hong Chengchou's meaning is to prevent the head and pinch the tail, and cut Nanming into two pieces with one knife in the waist.

Since he did not invade Fujian from eastern Zhejiang, he invaded from southern Jiangxi and destroyed Fujian. The Zheng family's property belonged to the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty's finances improved immediately and he could continue to fight. With the Zheng family's wealth, he swept the southwest and completed the unification of the world.

Duoduo narrowed his eyes. Old Gou Hong formulated a complete strategy for destroying the Ming Dynasty for him, which was much better than his hammer and a blow to deal with the Ming army.

If this policy is followed and implemented in place, it seems that it is not difficult to destroy the Ming Dynasty.
