Zhu Youlang's thinking that Shunzhi is in such a similar situation as himself at the time!

It all requires time to be acquired and firearms with powerful lethality are needed.

The difference is that the Qing court fought desperately to attack Guangzhou, trying to kill the research on the Ming Dynasty's firearms in the cradle. However, Zhu Youlang was not so eager for quick success and instant benefits. He wanted to take a steady step and do a good job in the economy and internal affairs first, and wait until the country is unified in the future and will not "pull a big cart."

The difference between the two is that the Qing court at that time was extremely unconfident, while Zhu Youlang is now full of confidence.

...

Zhu Youlang returned to the Ganqing Palace and sent oral instructions to the generals Chen Zizhuang, Hong Chengchou, and Chen Jitaixuan.

Since Hong Chengchou surrendered, Zhu Youlang has not grabbed his braid.

A censor also wanted to seize his black history and conduct a moral attack. He was scolded by Zhu Youlang, warning his ministers not to over-pursuing the crimes committed by others in the past on the grounds of "treating illnesses and saving people, punishing past mistakes and preventing future generations."

Hong Chengchou was extremely grateful for this. At the same time, he deeply realized that the history of the Qing Dynasty was a major stain on his life. Only by doing his best to be loyal to the king's affairs for the rest of his life and cultivating one's own character can he slowly fade and even cleanse.

At the same time, his return made his family very happy. His wife, daughter and younger brother forgave him. The family was harmonious again, which made his heart feel warm again.

Therefore, he worked diligently in government affairs, fully utilized his talents, and acted well as Chen Zizhuang's assistant role.

Zhu Youlang also saw his changes and remembered them in his heart, giving him great trust. Whenever there was a war, he would ask for his opinions.

Zhu Youlang announced him, and wanted to see if Hong Chengchou's strategic vision was as powerful as the legendary one.

"Jisheng, Hengjiu, what are your judgments about Duoduo's strategic intentions?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"When you go back to your Majesty, I think Duoduo's troops stationed in Kaizhou is not willing to make progress. The intention should be to give up the land of Henan and use the Yellow River as the sky mat to defend it." Chen Zizhuang said.

"When you go back to your Majesty, I know Duoduo very well. This man is cruel and ruthless and does not choose means to achieve his goal. This time, he stationed troops in Kaizhou and was looking for fun every day, unlike his usual style. Considering that the Qing court was about to make firearms, although I don't understand why his intention was, I think it would be impossible to make a mistake for him to be arrogant." Hong Chengchou replied.

"Heng Jiu, you know Duoduo. If you were him and face the offensive of our army, what would you do?" Zhu Youlang further induced Hong Chengchou.

"When you go back to your Majesty, if I am Duoduo, I will use the Yellow River, and use the Yellow River during the flood season. I will even lure the enemy under Kaifeng City and dig the Yellow River to flood the enemy's army. Hiss... Your Majesty, I understand, Duoduo must have fought this idea!" As Hong Chengchou said, a flash of inspiration and suddenly woke up!

"Your Majesty, imagine that Kaifeng City is several feet lower than the Yellow River embankment. If our army gathers under this city and the flood suddenly arrives, how can it be defeated? Even if there are firearms, what can we do?"

Chen Zizhuang and Chen Jitai looked at each other when he heard this. Chen Zizhuang thought for a while and asked, "Heng Jiu, is this statement too alarmist? If Duoduo does this move, even if he can defeat our army, what about tens of thousands of people in Kaifeng City? Wouldn't he suffer? The cruel methods of harming the people are comparable to the "Ten Days of Yangzhou". It can be said that it is even more than that. Aren't he afraid of God's punishment?"

"Sir, I just said that Duoduo is cruel and ruthless. He only acts to achieve his goals and never cares about consequences. As long as he achieves the goal of defeating our army, he will not take into account the lives of the people. What's more, if this plan succeeds, he will definitely create an illusion and frame the charges of our wise rulers and ministers." Hong Chengchou said.

"Heng Jiu is right. Duoduo and Shunzhi's uncle and nephew are now considering their country. The country is almost gone. Will he teach the people be kind to the people? What's more, in their eyes, the Han people are almost the same as fat sheep." Chen Jitai agreed with Hong Chengchou's statement.

"Yes, Hengjiu's judgment is consistent with me. Fulin is very clear that it is difficult for them to compete with our Ming army only by relying on these current troops. The trapped beasts are still fighting, and he always has to struggle. Therefore, he must make a firearm to have a few moves with our army. Haha, in Fulin's view, firearms are the so-called life-saving elixirs of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, he has to drag it until Hatis creates a fairy pill for him. Therefore, he no longer cares about the hearts of the people and must fantasize about using the Yellow River to make articles." Zhu Youlang said with a smile.

"Who doesn't know that the country is solid in virtue but not in danger. If the people's hearts are lost, his demise will be accelerated." Chen Zizhuang also understood at this time, and then Zhu Youlang said.

"Yes, he wanted to dig a dike to harm the people, but I wanted to do the opposite and save the people. Which one is better and worse is obvious. After this incident, the people of Jiangbei will return to their hearts, and the Ming Dynasty will only come sooner. Duoduo and Fulin are digging graves for their Qing Dynasty." Zhu Youlang said.

"Your Majesty, since you have insight into Duoduo's tricks, have you made some adjustments in the deployment of troops?" Chen Zizhuang asked.

"No need. Just tell Ning Yu about this judgment. Ning Yu will definitely verify it from multiple sources and make a comprehensive arrangement. Determine the life, draw the order, and tell Ning Yu that he can make a decision based on the enemy situation and not ask for an order in advance. But there are three things that must be done. First, it is necessary to not allow Duoduo's conspiracy to succeed and strive to ensure that the Yellow River does not break its dam; second, it is necessary to expose Duoduo's conspiracy and let his vicious intentions spread to the world; third, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the people's lives and not to starve one person to death."

"Yes, I follow the order." Chen Zhenhui bowed and replied.

"Your Majesty, I think I should remind Anxi Hou that Duoduo will cooperate with Wu Sangui. If what I expected was not bad, Duoduo dug a dike in Kaifeng, Wu Sangui would definitely take advantage of the situation to advance eastward. On the one hand, he would attack Anxi Hou with Duoduo and the other hand, he could also induce Dingbeibo to follow up. When the yellow water floods, Dingbeibo will be introduced into hundreds of miles of muddy land to set up an ambush. In this way, Dingbeibo will be in danger." Hong Chengchou added.

"Yes, what Heng Jiu said is extremely true, killing two birds with one stone. Dodo is really calculating."

Zhu Youlang agreed deeply and nodded with satisfaction, thinking: "If you can consider Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou's overall view is indeed very strong."

"Dingsheng, add this to the will. In addition, the information of Zhongyonghou and the military intelligence department should be informed of the Left Army in time. Alas, it is too slow to pass the message. You can order your subordinates to pass it to the Left Army nearby, so you don't have to stick to reporting to Nanjing first."

When Zhu Youlang thought of the intelligence transmission system in this life, he couldn't help but miss the developed communication system in his previous life.

If you have a mobile phone, you will know in an instant that you will know it. How can you be so troublesome? It’s a carrier pigeon and a Yima.
