Ma Mingfeng has already mentioned this. No matter how dissatisfied the officials, they could only agree with a wry smile. Now Ma Mingfeng holds all the power of the entire Henan. Except for the inspector and the censor who can supervise, all other officials are controlled by him.

But Gao Mingheng is sitting there now and is silent, which means he has not made any objection to this.

In this case, in order to protect themselves, these officials have no choice but to do it helplessly even if they are dissatisfied.

So a series of decrees were issued, and each prefecture, county, and garrison could only take action and do it according to Ma Mingfeng's request.

Of course, some officials who were far away from the provincial capital and thought that Ma Mingfeng was beyond the reach of him also had the intention of lip service and disobeying him, and did not really implement it seriously. Instead, they used Ma Mingfeng's government orders as an excuse to engage in some plunder and greed activities.

Ma Mingfeng can actually think of these things. In fact, Ma Mingfeng himself knew that he was just a governor. Even if he was the emperor, it would be impossible for all officials to do things exactly according to his intentions. He is now just a matter of controlling those big cities and dangerous areas.

However, the government orders have indeed achieved some results. At least in Kaifeng City, preparations have become more active than before. Material reserves, military training and other work are proceeding in an orderly manner.

In addition, Ma Mingfeng also took the opportunity to turn the more than 9,000 Minzhuang camps into regular troops. With his identity as the governor of the river, he appointed Yu Zhenlong as the general and commanded the soldiers of the Indigenous Minzhuang camps to become the governor's central army, which directly controlled the army.

Although this team's combat power is not strong, it has a strong combat power because of its excellent equipment and a large number of gunpowder weapons such as mines and grenades.

Of course, Yu Zhenlong is now stepping up training these soldiers so that they can give these soldiers the power to fight when Li Zicheng sieges the city for the second time.

In addition, in order to do its best to defend Kaifeng, Ma Mingfeng also visited Ding Qirui in Ruzhou.

Originally, Ding Qirui went to Dengzhou after hitting a nail in Huguang and failed to cross the river. However, the people of Dengzhou knew that Ding Qirui had a bad reputation and closed the door and refused to accept him. Seeing this, Ding Qirui went to Neixiang again, but the officials of Neixiang cut off his food. Ding Qirui had no choice but to lead the army to kill the war horses, and then used wild grass to fill his hunger. Later, he had no choice but to come to Ruzhou.

Although this place was occupied by the rebels, the rebels had left Ruzhou and came to Luoyang. They had just experienced war and although they were a bit desolate, they could barely stay there.

However, no matter what, Ding Qirui is now the Minister of War and the General Secretary. He nominally governed the army of Huguang, Henan, Sichuan and the north and south of the Yangtze River, and also governed the military affairs of Shaanxi. In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also gave Ding Qirui Shangfang's sword, flying fish suit and seal. Although he actually did not control the army south of the Yangtze River in Huguang, because he held the emperor's order and had great power, even brave generals like He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu had to obey his orders.

People like this are leading an elite army of 100,000 or 200,000. If they can make full use of it, it will be fine to completely eliminate the thieves and trespasses, and there is no problem in defending Henan.

As long as the Henan is defended, the bandits will not be able to threaten the capital, and the Ming Dynasty will have a chance to prolong its life.

It was precisely because Ma Mingfeng was thinking that he visited Ding Qirui, hoping to get some assistance from him. If possible, the two sides would work closely together to hurt the trespassing army, which would be enough for Henan to get a chance to breathe for a year or two.

"Are you the governor of Henan Ma Luan?" Ding Qirui was not tall, but he was a little fat. He had a wisp of rat whiskers under his chin and said to him: "Your junior has a good fortune. You have actually become the governor of Henan. Not only have you become the governor of Henan by yourself, but your son Ma Shiying has now become the governor of Lufeng. For the sake of the governor of the prime minister, I don't make things difficult for you. Just say anything if you have anything."

"My father has indeed regained his name and has become Governor Lufeng." Ma Mingfeng was very happy when he heard the news, so he planned to find a way to send Prince Fu over to avoid being affected in the next battle of Kaifeng.

Seeing that Ding Qirui was still polite to him, Ma Mingfeng suddenly felt a little expectant in his heart and said to Ding Qirui: "Mr. Supervisor, the subordinate wants to ask the lord to lead the soldiers under his command to attack the thieves. Now the main force of the thieves is hiding in Luoyang. As long as the thieves are willing to send troops to attack, and with the cooperation of the forces of Shaanxi and Kaifeng, I believe that it will definitely be able to severely damage the thieves. As long as the thieves are defeated, the thieves will be unable to support them. In the end, it will be a situation of defeat. The thieves will use a mighty army to defeat the thieves and the thieves in one fell swoop. They will definitely become famous generals throughout the ages. At that time, the general will be awarded the title of marquis. It will be just around the corner and will be remembered forever. Why not do it?"

"This is a good idea." Ding Qirui touched his rat whiskers, thought about it carefully, and then praised Ma Mingfeng: "No wonder the Chief Auxiliary appreciates Mi so much. It turns out that he is a good person. Since that's the case, I agree..."

Before Ding Qirui finished speaking, he heard the sound of someone coughing behind the screen. As soon as he heard the sound, he knew it was his master Feng Enyu who was full of bad water.

Ding Qirui quickly found an excuse to go out, whispered to Feng Enyu, and then said: "Governor Ma has a good idea. I should have agreed, but I have already made arrangements to attack Zhang Xianzhong tomorrow. It is not too late to fight against the thieves after being put down Zhang Xianzhong."

"But the thief has developed very quickly, and compared to Zhang Xianzhong, he is the biggest disaster..."

"You don't understand this, right? Zhang Xianzhong, the thief, was extremely cunning. He killed King Xiang in the previous episode and forced Yang to commit suicide and sacrifice his country. Li Chuang just took advantage of the situation and used despicable and shameless sneak attacks to kill King Fu. However, as soon as he attacked Kaifeng, he exposed his shortcomings, so he returned home in Kaifeng. People like this are now just dogs of a despair and there is no need to target him..."

Ding Qirui smiled and spared no effort to "train and induce Ma Mingfeng," which made Ma Mingfeng believe that it was reasonable for him to attack Zhang Xianzhong.

Ma Mingfeng frowned because he knew that Zhang Xianzhong was not that easy to fight, and Li Zicheng was not as incompetent as Ding Qirui imagined. In this way, Ding Qirui would have to suffer a great loss in the future.
