He Zhen must ask his son to go to Chengdu to help Deng Ming, and Deng Ming had no good way to refuse this. This behavior seemed a bit similar to sending his son as a hostage, which was a way for warlords to express allegiance. At first, Deng Ming thought that He Zhen wanted to get more supplies, so he claimed that he had no surplus grain in his hand. However, He Zhen denied that he was selling his son and he had to let He Daoning go to Chengdu without food. In essence, he was selling his son, but he was just not in a hurry to collect money. Deng Ming then said that he didn't know what position to arrange for He Daoning, but He Zhen expressed his opinion again that his intention was to let his son follow Deng Ming to increase his knowledge. When there was something to do, let He Daoning help, learn more, and be optimistic.

Speaking of this, Deng Ming had no choice but to nod. He thought carefully that his current position was a warlord who occupied the Chengdu area and could also act according to the warlord's convention. This made him relieved and promised He Zhen to bring He Daoning back to Chengdu when the breakup was made.

On the way back to the barracks with his father, He Daoning muttered a little. He Zhen knew that his son was timid and was not a source of war. However, he thought Deng Ming would not take his precious son to the battlefield. Yuan Xiang and Liu Jinge were two good examples. Although both of them had brave names, Deng Ming also left them in the safe rear. Such nephews of the military leader must be the target of key protection. If there is a mistake on the battlefield, the political cost will be too high.

Originally, He Daoning wanted his father to ask him for a job, but in the end there was no guarantee, which made He Daoning feel uneasy. He didn't know what would happen after going to Chengdu, whether he was really a hostage and was kept in captivity. Moreover, Deng Ming had clearly revealed his distrust of himself just now, and he made it clear that he had to examine his abilities before he could grant a position. If there was no suitable one, he could only stay idle.

"You just don't know!" After understanding his son's concerns, He Zhen cursed: "The cargo buyer is the one who carries goods. If Admiral Deng agrees, then the one who is assigned to you will be a real idle job. People who promise too quickly generally will not keep their promises. Admiral Deng refuses to say things to death, which means that he will seriously consider giving you something to do, and he must not give you my face. If you ask for it, you have to ask yourself for your own sake. What a great opportunity last time, if you fight with Admiral Deng, how can you take charge of the army when you arrive in Chengdu?" After a pause, He Zhen said: "You can save you a lot of armor."

...

After He Zhen left, Deng Ming and the officers discussed how to arrange He Daoning.

"General Xiao He is not good," Zhou Kaihuang shook his head repeatedly: "I am spoiled and cannot compare to General Xiao Yuan and General Xiao Liu."

Zhou Kaihuang and Yuan Xiang had a very good relationship. When Yuan Zongdi sent two people to Deng Ming's army to take care of each other, he also wanted them to take care of each other, which meant to cultivate wings for Yuan Xiang. However, the direction of the situation was somewhat beyond Yuan Zongdi's initial expectations. He had never expected that Deng Ming would go to Dongchuan and Kunming to fight with the Qing army after leaving Gaodong. Moreover, after becoming more powerful, Deng Ming still led the army and often left the base for several months. Although Yuan Xiang is a senior executive of Deng Ming's group, his close confidants are obviously not as good as Zhou Kaihuang, who was born and died with Deng Ming. The status of the two is at least on par, and they cannot be called the wings of who is who is.

"General He is indeed not a brave general, and I don't know how to govern." Deng Ming said softly. He Daoning, like Yuan Xiang and Liu Jinge, as long as Deng Ming does not want to offend the military forces behind them, he must entrust with important tasks.

The children of such generals received heavy responsibilities as soon as they came to Chengdu, which undoubtedly did not conform to Deng Ming's modern thoughts. But since Chengdu is not a constitutional country, Deng Ming had to play according to the rules of the game of the ** regime. For example, the trouble caused by Park Fan and Yu Youming in Wuchang, Yu Youming needs to be said to Yu Youming, who had connections in the Zhejiang army and had a good relationship with Ren Tang. As long as it did not cause resentment from heaven, Deng Ming could only make up for the sheep but not severely punished, so as not to make the Zhejiang clan dissatisfied; Park Fan was Xiong Lan's confidant. Although Deng Ming had a little doubt that he might accept bribes, Deng Ming also had to consider Xiong Lan's enthusiasm for work. Deng Ming often went away from the base area and did not want a fire in the backyard - this time the Wuchang incident involved many people in Chengdu. If bribery really happened, Chengdu probably had a share.

"Never deaf or dumb, don't be a relative." Deng Ming murmured in his heart. He can take over the power of the Sichuan army because of these minions. As long as he is loyal and knows how to stop, no dictator will be unable to get along with his subordinates when the enemy is in the face of a great enemy. While his subordinates have not yet enjoyed the rights, Deng Ming can carry out some social transformation, but as long as he does not want to make everyone betrayal, he must learn to pretend to be deaf and dumb. The reason why these rules can be passed down shows its rationality.

"It is normal for General He to send his son to the qualifying ceremony, but General He cannot let General He take control of financial power." Deng Ming is good at Zhang Huangyan and trusts the Zhejiang East Army very much. Ren Tang was quite happy to see that the Xong Army began to develop from Deng Ming's allies to his subordinates.

"That's right, if General Xiao He transported all the food and grass for him, he wouldn't be able to stand it." Mu Tan immediately agreed, and glanced at Zhou Kaihuang while speaking.

Zhou Kaihuang immediately heard the other party's voice outside the painting, and did not care about criticizing He Daoning's weakness anymore, and immediately defended Yuan Xiang and Liu Jinge: "Yuan Tixing and Liu Gongfu both made open requests to the admiral. Moreover, Yuan Guogong was in charge of Wanxian, and Liu Gong guarded the Three Gorges, which was a meritorious to the admiral!"

Deng Ming received a letter from the rear when he was fighting in Jiangnan. Liu Jinge said that Yiling and Wanxian needed supplies, and asked Deng Ming to allocate some at his discretion. Deng Ming certainly would not disagree with this request. When checking the account books of Yu Youming and Pu Fan, he found that Liu Jinge transported materials worth 100,000 taels of silver to Wanxian and Yiling. In addition, Deng Ming could detect the methods of Yu Youming and Pu Fan, so Liu Jinge naturally knew that. However, Xiong Lan and Qin Xiucai actively helped Yu Youming speak, saying that the purchase of "parts" did not violate Deng Ming's regulations in Chengdu. Liu Jinge was unable to pursue the matter to the end, so he had to reach a compromise with the bank and let them send some urgently needed supplies to Liu Tichun and Yuan Zongdi when they passed by Yiling and Wanxian.

It was Liu Jinge's filial piety to give things to Liu Tichun of Yiling, and Yuan Zongdi of Wanxian must be Yuan Xiang at work. Compared with the huge wealth Deng Ming obtained from Jiangnan, the materials applied for by Liu Jinge were only a small part of it. Ren Tang and Mu Tan couldn't say they felt much distressed, but they had no friendship with the Xong Army, and they always felt that these treacherous people were eating big players.

"I agree to the delivery of materials. Without General Yuan, how can I suppress the navy in Chongqing and ensure the smooth flow of shipping?" Deng Ming quickly smoothed out the situation and strengthening the Xongdong Army was part of his strategy. When supporting Zhang Huangyan, Ren Tang had no complaints. Mu Tan always complained to Deng Ming privately, saying that the Zhoushan Army and Xongdong Army had too little effort and obtained too much. Deng Ming knew what it meant here: Zheng Chenggong was rich, and Mu Tan was embarrassed to please the Fujian Army again, but he felt that the Prince of Yanping was loyal to the Young King of Tang and made great contributions. Do you deserve to suffer if you have money? So Mu Tan always gave Deng Ming a secret, saying that the princes should not only not ask Deng Ming for things, but should pay taxes and provide troops to him.

After returning to Sichuan this time, Deng Ming planned to go to Kunming. In addition to strengthening the ally contact, he also wanted to appease Zhao Tianba. Seeing that Zhao Dong and Zhoushan were all gaining benefits from Deng Ming's victory, Li Dingguo was the pillar of the southwest. If Deng Ming did not strengthen cooperation, it might make Zhao Tianba suspect that he was hostile to the King of Jin.

Seeing that the discussion could not continue, Deng Ming announced the end of the meeting.

Then he called Park Fan and Yu Youming and told them that they could buy some clothes and cloth to Chengdu. Deng Ming had announced that he would send a bonus of 5,000 yuan to each soldier who participated in Gaoyou Lake. More than 4,000 Ming soldiers had families in Chengdu, so there was no need to marry, and they would immediately have a lot of money. After a man had money, he would definitely think about buying some clothes, decorations and other things for his wife. Deng Ming estimated that the business would be good. These goods could absorb some bonuses to prevent the severe inflation in Chengdu. Moreover, a good life for the military family would also help improve the status of soldiers and create convenience for the army to recruit soldiers in the future. Lastly, Deng Ming had already thought about taking away the monopoly privileges of the Tax Bureau, and letting them make some money before taking action can eliminate dissatisfaction - fortunately, it was discovered early. If this monopoly management rights were long-term and regular, the privileged group would not be able to comfort them.

When Deng Ming was lamenting that he was becoming more and more like a traditional ruler, Hao Yaoqi and the Prince of Dong'an also came to Wuchang.

"We will see the admiral tomorrow." Hao Yaoqi said to Zhu Shenglu: "The admiral killed the captive chief, and the world was shocked. It seems that the Ming Dynasty's revival is not far away."

After the news of the Gaoyou Lake War came, Hao Yaoqi and the officers first disbelief, thinking that Shunzhi was protected by elite imperial guards, and on the Qing court's own territory, surrounded by green camps and the eyes and eyes of the government. The possibility of the Ming army raiding Shunzhi was almost impossible. Thanks to the vigorous publicity of the Southeast Governor, Hao Yaoqi soon discovered that this matter was true. Deng Ming not only went deep into the enemy's territory alone and successfully killed the emperor, but also returned to his navy unscathed.

Although many Ming army officers insisted on resisting, they believed in their hearts that defeat was only a matter of time. Deng Ming's victory in Hubei only delayed the arrival of failure, and his future was still dark. At that time, the famous Manchu Eight Banners had not yet gone south in large numbers. It seemed that they did not come to Huguang just because the barbarians felt it was unnecessary. The stronger the Ming army in Hubei would attract more attention from Beijing, and the greater the momentum would only attract Manchu soldiers earlier.

Li Dingguo defeated Nikan and caused a national shock, but the subsequent internal strife of the three kings led to the collapse of the Southern Ming Dynasty, which made many people even more desperate. Even the King of Jin who could defeat the Eight Banners head-on could not escape the defeat, so the Ming army in Hubei was naturally not the opponent of the Eight Banners. Last year, Zheng Chenggong also lost the persuasion of the victory because of his victory first and then defeat. Like Li Dingguo, the failure of the Eight Banners seemed like an accidental failure.

But Shunzhi's death excited the Ming army and made many people have unrealistic fantasies. Many soldiers at the bottom discussed whether the Qing court would surrender and whether the local government would surrender. Although these hopes did not become a reality, Hao Yaoqi's army was still excited, and they were full of confidence in victory after falling from above. The imperial camp of Mount Tai could be annihilated on the territory of the captive court, which shows that the famous Eight Banners of Manchuria, which was definitely not invincible. More importantly, many people in Hao Yaoqi's army had seen Deng Ming. Unlike the distant and unfamiliar Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong, Deng Ming was a living person in the hearts of Hao Yaoqi's officers and soldiers, not just a name; the Gaodong soldiers were also quite familiar with the troops participating in the Battle of Gaoyou Lake, weren't they the Western Sichuan soldiers? Before Deng Ming entered Sichuan, they were not as good as us.
