"Governor, they are here." With the report, three battalion commanders guarding Chenzhuang appeared at the door.

Huo Chong stood up to greet the three brave commanders. He defeated the Qing army surrounding and attacked Chenzhuang and got shocking news when interrogating the prisoners. The commander of the Qing army's Northern Route Army Aisin Gioro Basai actually gave the order to slaughter Zhuang. The reason why such a tragedy did not occur was entirely because the three battalion commanders, with huge military strength, still defended tenaciously without knowing that the enemy made such a brutal decision, and did not leave the people behind to lead the army to break through.

Such warriors must be respected and rewarded.

Seeing Huo Chong walking in front of him, the three battalion commanders did not look happy on their faces, but instead lowered their heads in fear. Wang Weichang, the leader, said in fear: "Governor. We are wrong. Please punish the Governor."

Huo Chong couldn't help but frown, "Where are you wrong?"

Wang Weichang quickly replied: "We should have sent all the women who bound their feet to Linzi earlier."

Huo Chong was stunned for a moment, and a burst of anger rushed straight into his chest. He looked around and found that the only guards who had compensated the three battalion commanders came in.

He reached out and pressed his hand on the shoulders of the three battalion commanders, "You all raised your heads and stood up!"

The three of them barely stood up straight, but they still lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Huo Chong.

"Standing attentive!" Huo Chong shouted loudly. The three battalion commanders subconsciously stood up and raised their heads.

"You performed very well in the battle. I thank you very much for protecting the masses. You did not escape or give up, which reflects the courage our army should have. You did a good job!" Huo Chong spoke out his evaluation of the three people loudly.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and suddenly there were tears in their eyes. Wang Weichang was the most excited, and he was already full of tears and choked up.

Huo Chong ordered the guard to fry a basin of water to wash the faces of the three of them. Wang Weichang was already choked and said, "Governor, what Commander Yang said...is not like that."

"He must have said I objected to foot binding, right?"

"Yes. He even scolded us..."

"I think you are good at fighting. I will explain it to you clearly. I will explain it to you clearly. After this war, I will promote the ban on foot binding. This is what I said. There are two things."

Although Wang Weichang and the other two were moved to tears, their expressions were already confused. At this time, Shui Duan came, Huo Chong asked them to wash their faces, so he asked the three of them to sit down and talk about the battle.

The three battalion commanders had a little confused memory when they talked about the battle process. It was obvious that they were all focused on dealing with the fierce battle at that time, and they had not had time to sort out the battle itself carefully.

Huo Chong tried to test it naturally several times. When talking about the negative impact of foot binding on the overall mass transfer, the three of them either seemed to have done something wrong, or they felt that foot binding had nothing to do with them.

This made Huo Chong very unhappy.

However, at this time, the Han soldiers were basically poor, and Huo Chong did not force them to accept too much. He could only tell them to have a good rest and not have any worries. Then let them go.

As soon as the three battalion commanders left, the correspondent sent the latest battle report from Jining. After reading for a few minutes, Huo Chong scratched his head and felt that there was a bit greasy in the gaps between his fingertips and nails. Since solving the hairstyle problem, Huo Chong took the lead in keeping his hair full. However, a new problem arises, bald heads are easy to handle, and a towel and a basin of hot water can make the brain refreshed. If the hair is long, special shampoo is needed.

Rubbing his fingertips on the handkerchief, Huo Chong pulled his thoughts back to the manuscript in front of him. Among the three people he trusted the most, Lei Hu went to Linyi in the south to defend. Yang Wangfu led the troops of Linzi to fight Aisin Gioro Basai. Qian Qing led the expeditionary army to Jining to fight with the main force of the Qing army.

In the battle report sent back by Qian Qing, he admitted that he had made some mistakes in his decisions when facing the Qing army. He rushed into the Qing army outside Jining City, but he did not expect that he could not grasp the main trend of the Qing army after several mobilizations. Instead, he allowed more than 100,000 Qing troops to retreat easily in four parts, losing a great opportunity to wipe out all the attacks.

After reading these, Huo Chong felt that these things were indeed amazing. In Huo Chong's eyes, the Qing army was a backward army, and should have all the characteristics of a backward army. Qian Qing would not deceive Huo Chong, but would tell the truth. So what was the purpose of Qian Qing saying these?

Huo Chong couldn't figure it out. If Qian Qing didn't want to shirk responsibility, shouldn't he chased the Qing army and beat him up at this time?

At this time, the guards came to report again, Gao Pang was back. Huo Chong left the report and asked Gao Pang to come in. After Gao Pang came in, he immediately sent a report on the Chenzhuang defensive battle.

Huo Chong first looked through the approximate question and saw Gao Pang using the standard chronological order. He was very satisfied. Gao Pang, the top scholar, made a briefing with excitement, "Governor, our army broke through the Qing army that besieged Chenzhuang and was pursuing it. Because of the strong walls and Qingyuan, the Qing army's baggage was taken down by our army. Now the Qing army has collapsed. But will the Qing army run so randomly, destroy it everywhere?"

"Haha. Only those who have never been hungry will say this." Huo Chong was happy.

"I've been hungry, too."

"Hungry and hunger are different things. If you are hungry every now and then, can this be called hunger? Hunger means you have no food for many days, and you don't know when the day you can eat with peace of mind. It's really that there is no meal. Gao Pang, you have to destroy everything with strength. It's not that you have bad intentions and your stomach is not hungry."

After saying that, Huo Chong thought about it and handed Qian Qing’s battle report to Gao Pang, “You read it first, and after reading it, tell me why do you think you should write these things.”

The room was quiet for the time being, and only the sound of flipping the paper was heard from time to time. After reading the documents at about the same time, Huo Chong said to Gao Pang: "What do you think?"

Gao Pang frowned slightly, "Governor, General Qian seems...at a loss."

"Oh? Oh..." Huo Chong felt that he understood. Indeed, Qian Qing felt like this in the battle report of the child.

While thinking about it, Gao Pang sincerely praised: "Governor, the commander of the Qing army is very powerful. In historical records, there are not many generals who can easily retreat in front of the enemy. It's amazing!"

"Oh! That's right!" Huo Chong completely untied his heart. In all the previous battles, the Qing army rushed over like a wild boar and was facing the Han army. All the plans of the Han army were based on this situation. I thought Qian Qing had the same plan, but he didn't expect that the development of things would be beyond imagination.

This uneasiness is probably the same as the upper class of the Han regime who heard Huo Chong's emphasis on prohibiting foot binding, which is obviously beyond the understanding of the parties involved.

Huo Chong couldn't help but sigh: "I understand when I say so. Qian Qing has never seen a famous general in the world. This time he has gained his knowledge."

"Governor, General Qian has 30,000 people to deal with more than 100,000 Qing troops, and the Qing army commander is so decisive. If the Governor commands, how will he fight?"

"If you catch the enemy head-on, fight it head-on. We will break through it all the way. Our army's equipment and training are about dealing with such a situation, and there is no need to consider anything else. Alas... it's not that Qian Qing, Qian Qing used to mobilize the enemy, and he really didn't have such a simple experience of hitting the head-on. It's not that she felt confused."

Gao Pang was a little surprised, but when he thought of Huo Chong's recent strangeness, he didn't dare to say much. Unexpectedly, what he worried about would come, he heard Huo Chong ask: "What do you think about foot binding? Do you think everyone will follow me to oppose foot binding?"

I thought about dealing with it, but unexpectedly the impulse arose, Gao Pang replied: "Governor. I think these brothers are different from the Governor. The Governor thinks that binding feet is wrong, and whoever supports binding feet is wrong. Brothers think that they will be blamed by the Governor if they do something wrong. The matter of binding feet itself doesn't matter."

Huo Chong thought about it and praised: "The top scholar Gong is high in opinion."

After being praised by Huo Chong, all the pressure in Gao Pang's heart was relieved, and he couldn't help but continue saying: "What the governor wants is to speak and follow the Dharma and define the good and evil in the world. This is no longer just the authority held by the hero, but the status of Confucius. However, the brothers just think that there are good people and bad people in the world. As long as the bad people are punished, the rest of the world will be good people. Since the masses are full of righteous thoughts, there will naturally be peace in the world."

After saying that, Gao Pang looked at Huo Chong's reaction nervously. The agitation caused by ambition made Gao Pang's heart beat faster. This was a blow to a boat of people, but Gao Pang couldn't help it.

Before he passed the top scorer, Gao Pang felt that he looked down on Huo Chong's group of mud legs. Now Gao Pang admitted that these mud legs are indeed extraordinary. During the process of recording the battle report, Gao Pang felt ashamed of these people's firmness and tenacity. But precisely because he clearly understood the extraordinaryness of these people, Gao Pang saw more clearly the shortcomings of these people.

The biggest difference between them and Gao Pang is that Gao Pang cannot do it, but knows why it cannot, or how it can be done. However, even if these people do it, they still don’t understand.

Should we say that their country is easy to change and their nature is difficult to change, or should we say that the people can use it, but not know it?

No matter which explanation it is, Gao Pang can find an explanation and try to do it. But these people know nothing but what they know.

Just like Qian Qing's reaction to a strange situation in the war report, if a scholar like Huo Chong was a rare famous general or a foolish general on the other side, it would probably not affect Huo Chong's performance...

Thinking of this, Gao Pang wanted to verify it, so he asked: "Governor, if you commanded the Battle of Jining, how would you fight?"

Without thinking, Huo Chong replied directly: "Each battalion is advancing in the direction and breaking through the Qing army. The Qing army's idea is to win. Victory battles are fought, not stupid by the enemy. As long as our army fights with the Qing army, their essence will be revealed. Qian Qing, the child, is still afraid that the situation will be out of her control."

Speaking of this, Huo Chong also sorted out his own judgment, "Gaopang, since you understand the difficulties that will be encountered when prohibiting foot binding, you should go to the Political Department and make ideological preparations in the Political Department in the early stage. You are right, the foot binding so far is not the right or wrong of someone. It is the wrong foot binding itself. After the war, you will be responsible for this matter."

"Yes." Gao Pang replied hesitantly.

Huo Chong heard Gao Pang's hesitation, "Don't think it's a small matter. If a small matter involves thousands of households and all families under our rule, would such a thing be a small matter?"

When Gao Pang retreated, Huo Chong picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Qian Qing. With his ideas, he wrote it up and wrote it over and over again, and after writing it, he revised it a little. Huo Chong added another paragraph, "If what I wrote does not make you feel like you are your feelings, send your feelings back. Don't worry, our army will win. You will definitely grow through this experience."

The Han regime has a relatively accurate understanding of the situation of the war through the situation of the war report, especially communicating with the commander and making adjustments.

The speed of information transmission in the capital is not slower than that in the Han regime, but there is no such heart-to-heart talk like Huo Chong and Commander.

Several official documents recorded the performance of the Qing army under Jining City, and the evaluation of this action was based on their own opinions. Those who wrote these official documents based on their understanding.

After watching the Thirteenth Old Man said nothing, Hongzhou was angry, "Ortai actually retreated in front of the formation, and then he was afraid of the enemy. Is he worthy of the favor of the emperor to him?"

Hearing such an angry speech, several other military ministers dared not speak. The Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Lao Si, spoke in this silence: "Your Majesty, I think Ortai and Yue Zhongqi are actually doing a good job."

Hongzhou obviously couldn't accept it, "Why did Uncle Fourteen plead for them?"

"Emperor, if I ask me to come to command, the actions of these tens of thousands of people will be afraid of being fled. Yue Zhongqi retreated the rear team in an orderly manner in the face of the pursuit of the bandit army. It is really difficult for Ortai to take this opportunity to remove the other three teams. Even if the bandit army was not annihilated, the troops were not damaged. They still besieged the bandit army under Jining City, and they can still fight when they want to fight. I think I don't blame them."

Hongzhou was still very unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, but looked at Lao Thirteen. Lao Thirteen was in a dilemma. Before Lao Thirteen spoke, he felt that Ortai was indeed doing very strange. After Lao Thirteen's analysis, Ortai and Yue Zhongqi's performance was completely understandable.

After all, Huo Chong once defeated more than 100,000 troops with 20,000 troops. If Ortai blindly attacked, it would be a big defeat for the 120,000 troops. It would be an unexpected disaster.

Of course, Lao Thirteen really looked down on Ortai. Facing the 30,000 people who were trapped in a heavy siege, they did not dare to suppress the entire army. This is a four-fold gap. Even if two people change, they can wipe out all the elites under Huo Chong. Is Ortai so timid?

With such dissatisfaction, Lao Shisan asked Sun Jiagan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue next to him, "Although you don't understand military affairs, what do you think about this matter?"

The reason why Sun Jiagan became the Minister of Military Affairs was because the Ministry of Revenue wanted to pay money for the war. Hongzhou really wanted to hear what the Ministry of Revenue, which paid for money, made Sun Jiagan become a member of the current Military Affairs Office. Sun Jiagan thought for a while, "Reported to the emperor, I don't understand military affairs. I also think this matter is a bit strange. However, I think what the Prime Minister said is reasonable. Ortai at least has not made a mistake now. The official army will fight and leave. The rebels are in a siege, and they are the side where they will make mistakes."

Hongzhou didn't say anything anymore. This matter was temporarily suppressed and would not be discussed. Hongzhou talked about another matter, "At present, all the governors and governors in the pass have submitted a statement to criticize Hongxi for his rebellion. However, the Eight Banners of Jingzhou have not submitted a statement. Who will handle this matter?"

This time no one took the initiative to speak. In the 18th year of the Kangxi reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1681 AD), King Wu Sangui of Pingxi joined forces with King Shang Kexi of Pingnan, and King Geng Jingzhong of Jingnan rebelled. Wu Sangui led his army from Yunnan and headed north to the north. Hunan was soon captured and the rebels captured Yueyang. This directly threatened the heavy formation on the north bank of the Yangtze River - Jingzhou, and the rule of the Qing Dynasty was in danger. At this moment of crisis, Emperor Kangxi ordered the commander of the commander Babuer to lead 3,000 Manchu cavalry to guard the Jingzhou formation. From then on, Wu Sangui could not cross the Yangtze River one step until it was destroyed in Kunming three years later.

After the Three Rebellions were put down, the Qing Dynasty decided to set up a general's mansion in Jingzhou and stationed the Eight Banners soldiers. The Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners lived in Jingzhou for more than two hundred years. From the first 4,000 people to more than 20,000 people. At that time, the Eight Banners were divided into two types: one was the Eight Banners in the army, that is, the Eight Banners that defended Beijing; the other was the Eight Banners in the garrison, that is, the Eight Banners stationed in various places. The Eight Banners in Jingzhou belonged to the Eight Banners. The Eight Banners in Jingzhou were said to be the Eight Banners in Manchu and Mongolia, but in fact they were mainly the Eight Banners in Mongolia. The so-called governors in the inner palace refer to various places outside Manchu and Mongolia. The Eight Banners in Jingzhou did not say anything, but actually represented a subtle attitude.

Lao Thirteen wanted to say something, but his lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.

Lao Ba has always been known as a wise king and has received support from famous families like Tong Jia. The deposed prince received strong support from famous families like Mingzhu and Soetu.

Although these people have been attacked by Kangxi and Yongzheng, they are famous families after all, and Kangxi and Yongzheng cannot exterminate them all.

Lao Shisan even thought that it might be a good thing to really exterminate these people. It was because when they were left behind, they did not expect that Lao Ba, the deposed prince, could join forces, which caused the troubled situation at this time.

The combined Manchu famous families that supported the deposed prince and the eighth sons of the old manchu combined more than half of the famous families. It is not a good place outside the pass. The princes have been living a hard life, but they have never received a large amount of rewards given by the emperor in the capital.

After Yongzheng came to power, he often criticized and complained that Manchus was useless. When the eighth and the deposed prince merged, the entire Manchus and Mongolia simply supported Hongxi. As the news that the Thirteenth found out, the princes outside the pass had never entered Beijing City, defeated Hongzhou, and supported Hongxi as the emperor. However, they really didn't want to be angry with the birds of Beijing City.

What these Manchu and Mongolian princes were thinking of living the life of the Manchu and Mongolian Shengjing court and no longer being controlled by the Beijing court.

The Eight Banners of Jingzhou undoubtedly had similar ideas, at least they had the attitude of this green-skinned one. Perhaps they really thought that the court in Beijing would not allow the Manchus to fight each other.

The problem is that their views are actually correct. We can't let Huo Chong, who is a big trouble, get rid of the mankind. Instead, we will fight with Manchu first. Hongzhou, in the capital, tried his best to deal with Huo Chong, and there was no time to spare his hands to deal with Shengjing.

However, it was not a solution to let them care about it. After a while, Hongzhou spoke, "If the Eight Banners of Jingzhou sent someone to persuade Hongxi to surrender, what do you think?"
