I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

In Nanjing, Hong Chengchou's desk is full of battle reports about Wu Changqing.

From Wu Changqing's attack in Jiading to the current capture of Suzhou, there are basically records of what he did during this period.

Looking at the information, Hong Chengchou was also surprised.

A 16-year-old boy relied on hundreds of townships to rise up. In just over a month, he has grown to thousands of people and even captured the city of Suzhou.

And in this process, he has repeatedly defeated more with less, and defeated the strong with the weak, showing his excellent training talents.

From the intelligence point of view, Wu Changqing is a military genius, and he can achieve great victories in almost every battle. Moreover, he is extremely good at deceiving people, not only won the love and support of the people, but even Wu Shengzhao, a veteran of the Qing army, chose to surrender.

This kind of talent, Hong Chengchou would like to take for his own use.

But he knew that this was impossible. Wu Changqing was a staunch anti-Qing activist. This kind of person can only send heavy troops to encircle and suppress them, and there is no other way.

His strategy in the south of the Yangtze River was to give priority to stroking, and to suppress it as a supplement.

On the one hand, it reduced taxes for the people, and on the other hand, it retained a large number of old officials from the Ming Dynasty to ease the contradiction between the officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the people of the Jiangnan region.

This move was very effective, and a large number of Ming army generals and civilians surrendered as a result.

If it weren't for Dorgon's shaving order, Jiangnan and other places would have completely accepted the rule of the Qing army.

Unfortunately, because of Dorgon's shaving order, the petty profits given by Hong Chengchou lost their effect, and many people rose up.

In dealing with those rebels, Hong Chengchou has never been merciful. He also participated in those massacres, and it can even be said that it was his order.

He wants to use this method to deter the people, and then cooperate with other policies that benefit the people to disintegrate the people's resentment and fighting spirit.

Hong Chengchou's strategy was extremely successful in history, and after the three massacres in Jiading, the people did not dare to rebel again. Coupled with the reduction of taxes, many people gradually accepted the rule of the Qing court.

Hong Chengchou did an excellent job in stabilizing the South. He was also extremely talented, and even as a Han, he became the first Han prime minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Now Hong Chengchou has also replaced Dorgon's younger brother, Duo Duo, and sits in Nanjing, commanding all government affairs in Jiangnan.

In short, Hong Chengchou's personal ability is very strong and his vision is very precise.

For those who could be persuaded to surrender, he was able to do so quickly. And for those who cannot surrender, he will brutally suppress them.

From Hong Chengchou's point of view, Wu Changqing is a person with firm will and unable to recruit.

He will resolutely exterminate such staunch anti-Qing elements.

"Come on, I'm going to the Dorobel House to discuss matters."

In government affairs, Hong Chengchou can have the final say. But when it comes to large-scale military operations, he also needs to negotiate with General Dorobel Aixinjue Role Kedhun.

Luck Dehun is the grandson of Zhenghongqi Daishan. When Huang Taiji and Dorgon competed for the throne, he was deprived of his royal status because he stood in the wrong team to support Dorgon.

However, after the death of Huang Taiji, Dorgon is now in power. In order to let others know that he will not treat people who mess with him, Dorgon has restored the status of the royal family of Luck Dehun, and entrusted him with important tasks, becoming Pingnan University. general.

At present, the Eight Banners soldiers in the Jiangnan area are all led by him, and he is the No. 1 military leader of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Jiangnan.

On October 3, Qiu Zhaojin, the messenger of King Lu, came to Suzhou.

Originally they went to Jiading, but after arriving in Jiading, they were told that Wu Changqing had won Suzhou, which shocked Qiu Zhaojin.

Originally, they thought that Wu Changqing's ability to kill thousands of Qing troops was amazing, but they never imagined that Wu Changqing would be able to take down such an important town as Suzhou.

The successive defeats of the Ming army have caused the people and officials of Nanming to feel that the army of Nanming is useless and the army of the Qing Dynasty is very strong.

So that Wu Changqing's capture of Suzhou can make Qiu Zhaojin feel incredible.

The surprise came too quickly. On the one hand, Qiu Zhaojin immediately reported the news to King Lu, and on the other hand hurried to Suzhou.

A general who has occupied Suzhou, has thousands of troops in hand, and can still win battles is really worth winning.

The specifications of the reward given by King Lu before did not reflect the importance of King Lu, and the specifications must be improved to be worthy of Wu Changqing's current status.

In his busy schedule, Wu Changqing still took the time to meet Qiu Zhaojin. After all, he was the messenger of King Lu. On the surface, he still had to have the respect that he should have. He is now a minister of Ming Dynasty in name.

"General Wu is really a young hero."

Qiu Zhaojin looked at Wu Changqing who was in the seat, and first praised him.

"Mr. Qiu is wrong." Wu Changqing said lightly.

"This is not a false praise. After King Lu learned about the general's deeds, he was full of praise for the general, saying that the general was a loyal and righteous man of the Ming Dynasty and a role model for the world. This time King Lu sent me to commend the general for his work in Wusong. An act of righteousness against the Qing."

"Wait a minute, why did King Lu come to commend him instead of King Tang? As far as I know, the South is now dominated by King Tang and the court of Longwu."

Wu Changqing interrupted him.

In fact, whether it was King Lu or King Tang, he was unwilling to give allegiance.

As a traveler, he does not have the foolish and loyal thinking of contemporary people. If he wasn't worried that his subordinates would not be able to accept it, he would now want to stand on his own.

In his opinion, neither King Lu nor King Tang has the ability to save this troubled world.

King Lu was killed by his general Fang Dingguo and others

Overhead, Tang Wang was also overseen by Zheng Zhilong's family, and the future King Gui Yongli would also be oversold by Sun Kewang.

In fact, the current Zhu family is really dead, and everyone takes them as their mainstay, and it is only for a superficial name, in order to attract those old ministers who are concerned about the Ming Dynasty to come to seek refuge.

Allegiance to these wastes is undoubtedly kicked by a donkey in the brain. Wu Changqing believes that his brain has never been kicked by a donkey.

Of course, now Wu Changqing can't openly and directly stand on his own, that is no doubt a rebellion, and he has to be like those real power figures, on the surface, first allegiance to the Zhu family's Daming.

When you have enough power in the future, everything will come naturally.

Even if he doesn't want to be the emperor at that time, his subordinates will add a yellow robe to him. The reason is also very simple. When Wu Changqing became the emperor, his subordinates all had the merit of following the dragon.

This kind of credit, how can it be mixed with a throne or a title.

But if Wu Changqing accepted the Zhu family's award as an emperor, then Wu Changqing's highest award would be a king with a different surname. As for the subordinates who followed him, it was impossible for him to award more rewards than Wu Changqing, and he needed to drop one or two levels.

Even if it is for his own interests, Wu Changqing's subordinates will force him to become emperor at that time. This is human nature.
