The emperor personally needed a lot of preparations. The most important thing was of course to prepare food and grass, and select elite soldiers and generals to accompany them. However, in the subsequent discussion, Shunzhi ordered everything to be simple, as long as the eight banners of Manchu, Mongolian and Han dynasties gathered a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses were collected from the eight banners. As for the Shandong and Henan Green Camps, which had been severely weakened, Shunzhi said that he did not need to wait for them this time. As long as the eight banners gathered together, he would set off immediately. If there were still troops and horses available in these two green camps, he could catch up later.

"My personal order will be issued to Jiangnan today." Shunzhi's tone was firm and unquestionable. It seemed that if the Eight Banners soldiers gathered too slowly, Shunzhi would ask them to set off to chase their carriage: "In two months, I will celebrate the merits in Jiangning."

Finally someone dared to come forward to persuade the emperor to act safely, but Shunzhi was immediately furious and sprayed his face full of tears: "There are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Jiangnan, and I still have tens of thousands of banned brigades. Is you a dog slave who thinks I can't beat Deng Zhe?"

The person who went up to persuade the advice was beaten by the emperor's orders to guard his life and death. The others who wanted to make a comeback all retreated. Today's court meeting was almost a one-man show in Shunzhi, and the imperial edict of dispatching troops was wholesale like flowing water.

After finally waiting until the end of the dynasty, Sony and Oboi looked at each other. The two emperors' most caring servants did not go home, but knelt side by side outside the study room.

Shunzhi did not ask them to wait any longer. Before they could kneel, they were taken into the study by the guards.

"The emperor said sadly." Sony spoke carefully.

"I know what you are thinking? I thought Concubine Dong E was dead, and I was crazy about gaining and losing my heart, right?"

"I dare not!" Sony was so scared that he fell to his knees again. Although Oboi had not had time to speak, he hurriedly lay on the ground with him.

"I don't dare to do anything!" Shunzhi waved his hand and let the two slaves get up.

After the two of them got up, Shunzhi sorted out his mood and explained to them patiently: "I have thought about it. Deng Ming is a serious concern after all, and I have to rush to get rid of it. Li Guoying is old and said that it will take several years to pacify Sichuan. I can't wait that long and can't let Deng Ming become a climate. However, if Deng Ming really hides in Sichuan and doesn't come out, I am really too lazy to catch him for a while, but he is extremely arrogant and dares to roam to the south of the Yangtze River. I command the banned voyage down the canal. The road is densely populated, and the prefectures and counties have treasurys. I don't have to transfer the supplies from the capital. It's fast for one month or two months. I personally supervise the battle, and the officers and soldiers of Huguang do not dare to be tired and fearful of war. They will definitely intercept them bravely. I want to see where Deng's thieves are running!"

Oboi thought that Li Guoying's countermeasures were very reasonable, and even if he was in the personal expedition, he might not be able to capture Deng Ming. He tentatively persuaded: "Even Deng Ming jumps into the clown and Lin Qilong can repel him, why should the emperor personally expedition?"

"Haha, how strong do you think Deng Ming is now?" A question from Oboi made Shunzhi laugh happily.

"Armed soldiers are less than ten thousand. Even if they join forces with Zhoushan gangs, they will still be able to take Yangzhou and Jiangning," Sony felt that there was a chance, so he quickly persuaded them: "It would be too polite to the emperor personally fight."

"That's true!" Shunzhi smiled even more happily and nodded heavily: "Deng Ming was not strong in his wings, and this time he was arrogant and arrogant. He went to Jiangnan alone to show off his evil spirit. He first attacked Wuchang and then occupied Jiujiang for a few days and was driven away by the officers and soldiers. After arriving in Jiangning, he began to try tricks, but despite this, he was still repelled by Lin Qilong in Yangzhou and was in Zhenjiang City. I concluded that he was at the end of his strength and now he was only thinking about how to escape back to Sichuan."

Only after hearing this did Sony and Oboi understand it. It turned out that Shunzhi thought Deng Ming was almost at the end of his journey.

"There is also Duke Pei of Zhou. If I agree to Liangjiang's request and let him serve as the governor of the two provinces, he will definitely be able to drive Deng Ming away easily. The court will definitely pay great rewards. Although I know very well that he just beat a dog in the water, the officials in the world don't know. They will only see that Duke Pei of Zhou drove Deng Ming away from the southeast hinterland. If the court does not give a heavy reward, it would be a shame. If it is a heavy reward, this reward will be really unfair." Shunzhi felt that it was rather than just a simple one.

It would be better to simply give the famous Zhou Peigong to his famous Zhou Peigong, but it would be better to just grab it: "Didn't Deng Ming's navy have the advantage? Hunan soldiers are originally a guest army and have few warships. Most of them are unwilling to intercept the fleeing Deng thieves. Therefore, I guess Zhou Peigong will have no problem in resolving the siege of Zhenjiang, and it is not a big problem to intercept some fallen thieves. However, most of the thieves can still escape unscathed. After suffering this loss, he may not be so courageous to travel thousands of miles next time. It will be difficult to catch him again."

After Dong Efei died last night, Shunzhi did not sleep all night. When this idea occupied his mind, Shunzhi thought about it, and the more he thought about it, he felt that his solution was good. He killed two birds with one stone. No, he was counting one stone: "Aren't you issued an order today? Is there another imperial edict tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, agreeing to the request of Liangjiang to let Zhou Peigong act as the Jiangnan governor and Jiangxi governor, and be fully responsible for intercepting Deng Ming's affairs, and not allowed to flee back to Sichuan by one person or one boat."

If it was not the name of personal expedition, the appointment of Zhou Peigong and the two provinces of Zhou Peigong would not be easily revoked afterwards. But now it is different. The court can fully interpret this appointment as part of the personal expedition operation. If Zhou Peigong failed the favor of the holy people and let Deng Ming run away, resulting in the emperor's personal expedition but did not catch the thief, it would be a serious crime. Not to mention rewards, even if he was asked to continue to keep the magistrate of Wuchang, the emperor would be merciful. If Zhou Peigong stopped Deng Ming, Shunzhi could also dismiss Zhou Peigong's appointment after the end of the personal expedition. This appointment was originally a preparation for the personal expedition, but now the personal expedition was successfully completed, of course it would be lifted.

"If Duke Pei of Zhou tried his best to stop Deng Ming, then I would raise the flag for him after the personal expedition was over and then bring it back to the capital for great use." Shunzhi believed that his strategy was foolproof. If he did not personally expedition, then this behavior would be more obvious. Moreover, Deng Ming, the rabbit, probably not even caught; but if he was in person, the credit was naturally the emperor's - burning Kunming, continuously capturing and killing the governor, Deng Ming, the governor of the South, left the governor at the south helplessly, but Shunzhi was able to take action. With such martial arts as the background, Shunzhi promoted him to the central minister because of his appreciation of Duke Pei of Zhou's interception, which was obviously favor rather than suspicion.

As for the fierce Hunan army mentioned in the Jiangnan memorial, Shunzhi can also use this personal expedition to appease. In any case, Zhou Peigong has only made a name for himself. His generals may have prestige, but they will definitely not be consolidated. For these Hunan green camps, fighting under Zhou Peigong's banner is ultimately due to their contributions under his ministers. Once Shunzhi's personal expedition flag is launched, these generals will show their faces in front of the emperor. When rewarding merits in the future, they will naturally no longer need to pass Zhou Peigong or the governor's office of Liangjiang, but will be punished by the emperor. Shunzhi can fight for the morale of the 30,000 green camps without any effort, so that they can not only be willing to fight hard, but also be grateful to themselves.

Although the troops were a little urgent, although the elite green camps from Henan and Shandong had all gone to Fujian, and the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade were also weakened a lot, the Yangzhou army that could repel Deng Ming, the Jiangning army that could confront Deng Ming, and the tens of thousands of Hunan army of Zhou Peigong, Shunzhi unified them, and was still worried that Deng Ming would not be able to escape?

Even Sony and Oboi couldn't come up with any powerful reason to prevent Shunzhi from moving south quickly and personally conquering Deng Ming.

"This matter must be kept confidential. If a few words are leaked, I will only ask you!" Although we know that these two loyal servants did not have the courage to say their thoughts, Shunzhi still reminded him that he needed a wise and powerful image, and he was not regarded as mean and ruthless as his subjects, especially his intention to prevent problems from happening, and he could only do it, not say it.

The news that the emperor was going to fight in person spread throughout Beijing immediately. Of course, the Eight Banners in the city did not know what Shunzhi said to Oboi and Sony, so everyone could only guess.

"Did you hear that the emperor is going to fight in person?"

"Do you think I'm deaf? Who doesn't know about such a big thing?"

Two friends from Zhenghuang Banners were hiding in the house and talking in a low voice.

"I heard that Deng Ming attacked Yangzhou and was repelled. Although he besieged Zhenjiang, he could not take it. This momentum was simply impossible to compare with the time when the pirates entered the Yangtze River last year. Why did the emperor personally fight?" One of the flag soldiers' faces were full of confusion: "And the emperor was still so anxious that he said he would go to the battle within a few days."

"Because this is Deng Ming." Another flag soldier said meaningfully.

"What does it mean?" The other one was confused and didn't understand at all.

Although he knew there was no one in the house, the flag soldier still looked around, walked to the door and opened the gap, looked into the yard, then closed the door lightly, walked back and said mysteriously: "Old brother, I'll just say this to you."

"Say it, say it." Another person asked anxiously.

"I just said it casually and couldn't be true." The previous flag soldier was still keeping him in hiding.

"If you don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." The flag soldier who was asking was already scratching his head anxiously.

"Didn't you leave a message before that Deng Ming was actually a person who had a grudge against the emperor for killing his father and taking his wife?" The spoken flag soldier showed a meaningful expression on his face: "The little master in the palace suddenly died inexplicably. I heard that there were several confidant palace maids and eunuchs who were killed together. Then the emperor suddenly wanted to fight in person. Here, hehe, the water inside was very deep."

"Ah!" The latter flag soldier opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it. He also remembered that Dong Efei had betrothed another person. After a while, he murmured: "Is it not the hatred of killing his father, but the hatred of taking his wife? The little master did not die of illness, but the emperor asked the truth and then got angry..."

"I just said it casually, I didn't take it seriously." The front flag soldier smiled in disbelief.

After my friend left for a long time, the master was still shocked by the news he had just heard. Just as he was thinking about it, a loud shout came from outside the door, saying that the person coming was another better brother of the same flag.

After the man entered the house, he complained loudly: "Old brother, why did the emperor suddenly have to fight in person?"

"Because this is Deng Ming." The master replied softly.

"What?"

The master hesitated for a moment and ordered, "Go and close the door."

After the second guest was ready as he said, the host waved to him and asked in a low voice: "You have heard of those rumors before? That Deng Ming and the emperor had a hatred for taking his wife..."
