In dealing with the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Ming thought that, first, he was better than him in terms of manpower and material resources, and then restricted the Qing Dynasty from obtaining advanced firearms from the Dutch and the Spanish, and sooner or later he could defeat the Qing Dynasty.

But now it seems that not everything in this world will develop in the direction Zhao Ming hopes for.

Zhao Ming intended to drive the Netherlands and Spain out of Southeast Asia, but in order to maintain maritime trade and cultivate the handicraft industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even though he knew that the Dutch colluded with the Qing Dynasty, he could not openly start a war and could only try to play the silence.

The two major forces have their own means to play between the two countries, so they will not be the same as the same side.

Zhao Ming talked with his subordinates and predicted the strategy adopted by the Qing Dynasty. First, the strategy of using the Han Dynasty to control the Han Dynasty will definitely be further implemented to exert the real strength of the Qing Dynasty's control and mobilize more resources to invest in the Ming and Qing disputes. Secondly, the Qing Dynasty will continue to strengthen cooperation with the Netherlands and Spain in order to obtain advanced firearms.

Zhao Ming understood these two points, so he decided to take action and curb the Qing Dynasty from then on from then on, and surrounded the Qing Dynasty.

As for the rebellion of the Green Camp and attacking Luzon, it is definitely impossible to completely curb the Qing Dynasty, because the Qing Dynasty would not stand still and let Zhao Ming take action. Dorgon would definitely take action to maintain the strategies implemented by the Qing Dynasty, and even analyze the weaknesses of Donghai Town and the Ming Dynasty and attack, while also encircling the direction of the development of the Ming Dynasty and destroying the Ming Dynasty's national policies.

This is like a game of Go, you break me and I block you, both sides are changing and will take action to remedy after being attacked. As for the final result, it is not something you can see now.

Zhao Ming pondered for a while, "For the Qing Dynasty, let's talk about it here today. What I mean is that first we must restore our strength, provide pensions to soldiers, recruit soldiers to fill the gaps, and restore our own combat power. Then we start from two aspects: one is that the Tiandihui will send a detailed work to the north, and in the area controlled by the Qing Dynasty, in order to rebel against the Green Camp generals, and create conflicts between Manchu and Han, so that the Qing Dynasty cannot use all the Chinese power. The second is to try to cut off the connection between Manchu Qing and the Netherlands and Spain. Even if it cannot be completely blocked, we must try our best to interfere and destroy. Today is just a chat, everyone will think about it carefully. In a few days, we will discuss a specific strategy."

Many staff members nodded when they heard the words, and Ma Shiao saluted: "I know you're here!" After saying that, he bowed and asked, "What should Fu Shangrui do?"

Zhao Ming frowned. Fu Shangrui was the governor sent by the court, and Zhao Ming could not raise a flag to rebel against the court. If he did too fiercely, it would be equivalent to turning against the court and exposing his ambitions in advance. The court would not tolerate him, which would affect the united front of the anti-Qing Dynasty and not give a counterattack. Fu Shangrui and the court would definitely be arrogant.

For Zhao Ming, Fu Shangrui was very annoying. Zhao Ming refused the rewards from the court, just to retreat as an advance, hoping that the court could get him away. However, I don’t know whether it was because the war in Huguang was fierce or the road was blocked. There was no news from the court so far, which made him extremely disappointed.

Zhao Ming would not give up Su Songchang's military and political power, which was his capital to reform society in the future, so Zhao Ming decided that even if the court did not know the truth, he would still take Fu Shangrui away.

But Fu Shangrui is the governor of the court, and whether Zhao Ming's subordinates are in the same mind as him still needs to be tested.

After all, the energy of Donghai Town was devoted to fighting the Qing Dynasty and rarely involved internal political struggles. The court suddenly sent Fu Shangrui over to make Donghai Town not mentally prepared, and Zhao Ming did not have time to unify his subordinates' thoughts and did not know their political tendencies.

At present, Zhao Ming wants to get Fu Shangrui away, but it cannot be too obvious.

Zhao Ming pondered for a moment, and a plan arose in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The court sent Fu Shangrui to Jiangdong, and his intention was to take back the administrative power and take Su Songchang's government affairs and taxes into his hands. Since the court wants it so much, it's okay to give it to the court~"

"Master, you must not!" Ma Shiao immediately became anxious when he heard the words.

Zhao Ming saw that everyone in the hall reacted that except for a few people including Ma Shiao, Wang Jiaqin and others, the rest showed signs of entanglement on their faces.

This made Zhao Ming frown. He carefully observed the expressions of the people and realized in his heart that on the one hand, everyone wanted to protect their own interests, and on the other hand, everyone was a Ming minister. Because the gathering of anti-Qing together was not to create a rebellion of the Ming Dynasty. The court wanted to control administrative power. They did not have a reasonable and just political reason to refuse except for their own interests.

This made Zhao Ming suddenly realize that if he wanted to fight against the central government, he still needed a political proposition and a political program that these people recognized, rather than a warlord, who simply wanted to seize the separatist side.

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Mr. Ma, don't worry, listen to me and finish your words."

Zhao Ming paused, was silent for a while before speaking: "The court wants to take back the control of administrative power and local finances. Then the military pay, grain, equipment and pensions of the 200,000 soldiers in Donghai Town will not raise the funds. Tomorrow, Mr. Ma, you will go to the Governor's Office to ask for money and grain. If the court can take it out and is willing to bear the military expenditure of Donghai Town, the court will take back the administrative power, and I will have no objection."

Zhao Ming's eyes flashed with murderous aura, and after saying that, he waved his hand: "It's getting late today. I'm a little tired. Let's all leave!"

Ma Shiao had something to say, but Zhao Ming waved his hand and closed his eyes, so he could only get up, salute and leave.

After Zhao Ming and others left, they immediately opened their eyes and suddenly said, "Ding Weiyue, prepare horses for me, I want to go to the Qian Mansion!"

If Zhao Ming's plan to revitalize Jiangnan's handicraft industry will inevitably be affected. Zhao Ming does not want to be constrained, so Fu Shangrui must get out.

It was already three o'clock in the middle of the night. Zhao Ming came to Qian Mansion, but the Qian Mansion was brightly lit. Qian Qianyi received the news and greeted the people to greet him, waiting for Zhao Ming to come.

Qian Qianyi is already in his seventies, but he is still keen on politics and wants to return to the officialdom, join the cabinet and become the prime minister, and realize his wish for many years.

As early as the Chongzhen Dynasty, Qian Qianyi was already the leader of the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party members always hoped that he could enter the cabinet. It was a foregone conclusion that Qian Qianyi entered the cabinet, but Wen Tiren was too awesome. He defeated the Donglin Party members in the court by himself, causing Qian Qianyi to lose the opportunity to enter the cabinet and was dismissed from his post and questioned.

The Jiashen Kingdom changed, Beijing fell, and the Chongzhen Dynasty was destroyed. Qian Qianyi, who was in Nanjing, felt that his opportunity had come, and joined forces with the Donglin Party members to support Lu Fan as emperor and gained the decisive contribution, but he never fought with Ma Shiying. After King Fu ascended the throne, he naturally disliked Qian Qianyi. Although Qian Qianyi became the Minister of Rites, he still failed to enter the cabinet.

The following year, the Qing army went south to Jiangnan, and Qian Qianyi knelt down to welcome the surrender. He gave a plan to capture Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Soon he cut his braids and went north to Beijing to become an official. He originally thought that the Qing Dynasty saw the face of his boss Donglin and the leader of Jiangnan Shilin, and could give him a high-ranking official and enter the inner court as a grandson, but the more he went, the more he turned around, the Qing Dynasty looked down on him, so he only gave him a minister of the Ministry of Rites, which was one level lower than his original official position.

This made Qian Qianyi feel discouraged. In addition, when he arrived in Beijing, he found that the Qing Dynasty was not like the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty could be said casually and the emperor could scold him, but the Qing Dynasty could not scold him. He was seeking death. So soon, Qian Qianyi returned to his hometown.

Over the years, the court confrontation in the first year of Chongzhen has become the closest moment he has entered the cabinet, which has made Qian Qianyi very unwilling.

Originally, he thought there was no chance to involve politics, but Zhao Ming restored Hudong and saw hope again, so he took the initiative to approach Zhao Ming and wanted to pass Zhao Ming and enter the officialdom again.

In fact, Qian Qianyi not only took the initiative to approach Zhao Ming, but he also contacted Zhu Yihai. However, the civil officials under Zhu Yihai refused to treat Qian Qianyi's behavior and said, "The Nanjing Incident began when Donglin instigated Zuo Zhendong to rebel!" Zhu Yihai then disliked Qian Qianyi and did not approach him.

Therefore, Qian Qianyi put his hope on Zhao Ming and moved from his hometown to Suzhou to get closer to Zhao Ming.

"Mr. Muzhai, I have a secret conversation!" Zhao Ming came to the front of the mansion and saw Qian Qianyi standing at the door to greet him, so he went straight to the point.

Qian Qianyi was slightly stunned, secretly happy, and didn't say much at the moment, so he directly invited Zhao Ming into the study.

That night, Zhao Ming and Qian Qianyi had a secret meeting and discussed it until the fifth day of the day. Zhao Ming left Qian Mansion with satisfaction and returned to the Right Governor's Mansion.

It is not easy to drive Fu Shangrui away, but in terms of reasons, it is necessary to pass. People in the world cannot think that Zhao Ming did it on purpose, and it is not easy to make the court recall Fu Shangrui. However, after Zhao Ming discussed with Qian Qianyi, he had to admire the skill of the Donglin Party members in slandering people. He did have a few tricks.

Zhao Ming is confident enough to face the old cheating organization Donglin and the newcomer He Tengjiao.
