The two men had also received a shutdown from the court before, until Prince Su of the Qing Dynasty led hundreds of thousands of troops to prepare to go south. Could it be that this time I would miss it perfectly?

The last time, due to Li Guodong, Hu Qiang did not find the opportunity to be the head coach on the battlefield.

This time, I originally thought that I was stationed in Qufu. As long as the Qing army dared to come, we would definitely be able to beat him up in shame, but now I actually heard that Haoge's target is Wuchang...

Hu Qiang is still secondary. After all, he is also the direct line of His Royal Highness and the commander of the Eastern Palace Imperial Guard.

Even when he can rely on this title alone, others will respect him three points. Even if Li Guodong's contribution is high, he will never be able to surpass Hu Qiang.

But it’s different for Gao Jie. Although Gao Jie was the first general in the four towns of Jiangbei to surrender voluntarily, the current court has to speak out based on credit.

No matter what happened to you before, now you don’t have the power of size in your hands. How could you say in this court?

"General Hu, I heard that the imperial edict has been issued, so I will come over now. What does the court mean?"

In Hu Qiang's general's mansion, he had just received an imperial edict from the court. Before he could finish a cup of tea, Gao Jie had already returned from outside the city on a horse.

They also built several training camps around them. According to the division of labor between the two, Gao Jie trained the recruits outside the city and came back quickly after hearing the news to see if there was an order for them to dispatch them and they were almost idle here.

"Your nose is really good. Before I even brought a cup of tea in my hand, you received the news. It was indeed the imperial edict from the court. Look, now the Crown Prince ordered us to move a little, because the Qing army had already moved south from Henan, so our north side should be extremely empty. The Crown Prince ordered us to capture Tai'an Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture."

Finally there was a chance, and I finally didn't need to stay here anymore. They really couldn't stay here.

Seeing their colleagues performing their contributions on the battlefield, they have no other chances except training recruits, and now they have finally caught the opportunity.

"It should have been like this for a long time. There is a Qing army camp fifty miles north of us. Look at what they are doing now. If the patrol teams on both sides encounter them, those people will be like frightened birds, running faster than rabbits. We should have attacked north long ago. If His Royal Highness's imperial edict can come a little earlier, we can stand on the wall of Jinan Prefecture now."

Gao Jie said with a smile. He had fought in Henan in a very vivid way and annihilated more than 3,000 people under Wu Sangui. He thought he could recover the entire Henan. Who knew that the imperial edict from the court came down later...

Gao Jie knew very well what kind of person the Crown Prince was. If you dare to disobey on the battlefield, no matter what achievements you have achieved, I am afraid that the Crown Prince would not spare you easily.

So even though the battlefield in Henan was so high that Jie hurriedly brought his three regiments back. Now he finally found a legitimate opportunity to attack.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince needs to consider it completely, which is different from what we consider. Now I guess the entire Qing Dynasty and the Han army together have only one hundred thousand people, so there are even fewer people in Shandong. There are probably not many Eight Banners Cavalry, so we just kill them all the way north."

Hu Qiang was also very happy. Although they were not the ones who picked up soft persimmons, the Qing Dynasty has focused on Wuchang in this situation. Could it be that they can still go to Wuchang to compete with Ye Yun for credit?

"General Hu is right. I will go down now and prepare to move north immediately. The soldiers below are also very worried."

The soldiers under Gao Jie and Hu Qiang have all been trained in recruits, and their training results are pretty good. In recent small-scale battles, we have achieved a complete victory.

Everyone is at the peak of morale. If they are allowed to continue here, it will be a waste of this screaming morale.

Moving north from Qufu, you will soon be able to reach Tai'an Prefecture. After occupying Tai'an Prefecture, you will be able to continue to occupy Jinan Prefecture northward.

Although there are some other places in Shandong, as long as you occupy these places, the remaining areas will not be afraid. If you continue to move north, you can cut off the connection between other areas and the capital.

"There are not many supplies in Qufu City. If we continue to stay here, of course we will not be short of anything. But if we lead troops north, we may have to wait for a while. At most, in three or five days, the grain transport team in the south will come. It will not be too late for us to set off again in the next two days to let everyone prepare all the preparations."

Hu Qiang calculated his family's background and could not go to the battle just like this. He had to prepare everything.

Gao Jie nodded and was about to go out to do business. He found that there was a letter from the court under the imperial edict.

In this era, the court would hand over all major matters to officials from all over the country. In addition to the court's sending, it also carried a new newspaper from Nanjing.

Mu Tianbo has entered Beijing...

The two looked at each other. As Duke of Qian who has been guarding the southwest for generations, Mu Tianbo was indeed one of the most powerful figures in the Ming Dynasty. He had heard that this guy was going to Nanjing to congratulate him, but he didn't expect that he had just passed by now.

Speaking of Mu Tianbo's visit to Nanjing to congratulate him, this is indeed a big project.

In today's era, especially in the southwest provinces, there is no decent road at all. If you want to go to Nanjing from Kunming, it will take at least three or four months to transfer to water and land. If you want to go to Beijing, it will take more than half a year.

Even if Mu Tianbo was the imperial court and the prince who went west, the roads were repaired everywhere, and it took nearly three months to travel around the sky.

Zhu Cixuan also read a piece of information online that among the several governors of the Qing Dynasty, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou was the least willing to do it.

Because if the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou wants to enter the capital, it will take a year to go back and forth. In such a remote place, who would like to go there to serve?

But it is such a remote area that the Duke of Qian has been guarding for hundreds of years, and this can indeed be regarded as a hero of the court.
