Shang Zhixin glanced at Lin Shanzhi and turned his gaze to Ban Zhifu, asking, "Can someone be sent to Xinhui?"

Ban Zhifu shook his head and said, "Zheng Guodong has not sent anyone anymore. It is expected that the bandits surrounded the city and no one can come out of the city."

"I think so."

Shang Zhixin nodded slightly. In front of this old man who had been with his father for many years, he did not dare to be arrogant at all, and there was no need to be arrogant. He smiled and said to Ban Zhifu: "Before leaving, my father told me that when I went to the Xinhui for help, my prince was the head coach, but I still have to rely on Uncle Ban in this military affairs. I have to read and learn more. If I don't understand, I don't have to worry about the face of His Highness. Haha, in fact, there is no need for the father to give me such instructions. I will do the same. After all, I have never led the army alone before, and my experience is far less than Uncle Ban. If something goes wrong because of my negligence, I will not be able to explain to my father. So I would ask Uncle Ban to do this time!"

His Royal Highness called out "uncle" and heard it, Ban Zhifu felt quite warm. In the eyes of outsiders, this Royal Highness Kong Wu is Kong Wu, but he is young and energetic and has a bad temper. But in front of him, His Royal Highness is still the child back then, and he respects the elders as much as he used to. For this point, he also wants to protect Shang Zhi's trust, rather than beating up the second Royal Highness Shang Zhi's filial piety like some people under the Nanfan.

Establishing the eldest son and establishing the legitimate son is a tradition in China for thousands of years. It is not a matter of keeping the eldest son and the legitimate son. You must know that King Pingnan told them privately that when the Nanming is pacified in the future, he would let the second son, Xiao, return to Beijing to find the Han army flag governor, instead of staying in Guangdong and his brother. Since the old prince had already had this idea, the subordinates would still make things happen, and it really caused the brothers to compete for the vassal. I am afraid that the one who benefited was not the people under the Pingnan vassal, but the court in Beijing. If the dispute is so unrest, the court will intervene. I am afraid that the Pingnan Prince's Mansion will be really a mess. The old King of Jingnan Geng Zhongming's incident has not been possible after a few years. Geng Jimao's kid is almost unable to inherit the title. The lessons of Jingnan are not far away, and there can be no more demonic men in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion.

"Don't worry, your highness, that the last general will do his best. The Taiping Army is just a clown. If your Highness leads the army himself, this thief will be vulnerable."

Ban Zhifu didn't say much, but every word he said was definitely not nonsense, and he said it so strongly. Lin Shanzhi, who was next to him, couldn't help but look up at him, and he didn't have any arrogant thoughts in his heart. Instead, he deeply agreed: The Taiping Army is already a mob, and if he can't win this battle, he will see a ghost.

Ban Zhifu said this, so Shang Zhixin naturally would not say more about the war with the Taiping Army, and instead said to Lin Shanzhi: "Have the military affairs arranged properly?"

Lin Shanzhi hurriedly owed his waist and said, "Go back to Your Highness, all the humble positions have been arranged!"

"I'm fine, you go back first. I just explained it clearly. I listened to Ban Dutong's orders. Ban Dutong's orders are my orders. You can understand!" Shang Zhixin said in a special half of the second half of the words.

Lin Shanzhi secretly complained in his heart that he was also a first-class general, so why should he listen to Ban Zhifu's orders? Besides, his soldiers were more than Ban Zhifu. But His Highness told him that Ban Zhifu was the most trustworthy old man of King Pingnan. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to listen obediently. He immediately responded: "I understand!"

"Okay, you go down first. Let's set off in half an hour."

Shang Zhixin waved his hand and signaled Lin Shanzhi to go back.

"twitter!"

Lin Shanzhi took a step back three steps before turning around and leaving. When he left, Ban Zhifu said something about Shang Zhixin: "The top leader of the Guangzhou Green Camp is a southerner. They are all wandering people, not warriors. The Western thieves have been invading each other for many years, and the local thieves have been stealing from everywhere. There are many soldiers everywhere, and there are also many losses. The Guangzhou Green Camp alone has lost thousands of losses in recent years. Today, Guangdong is in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and bandits are everywhere, and there are mostly pirates on the coast. Only Pingnan and Jingnan Town soldiers are here, and I am afraid that the troops will not be able to be maintained. Your Highness might as well ask the court to send another 3,000 Mongolian soldiers to Guangdong to assist in the war. Such troops will be relieved without any resumption of the incident last year."

What Ban Zhifu said last year refers to the fact that Li Dingguo's army attacked Guangdong in the second attack. Pingnan and Jingnan had no troops available, so they had to shrink the Qing army everywhere and concentrated in Guangzhou, so that Li Dingguo's army could march straight into. If Xinhui was not strong in the city, the Ming army would have to face the city of Guangzhou. Reducing troops to concentrate in Guangzhou seemed to be the best way to deal with the Ming army, but in fact it was to expose the Ming army the problem of insufficient military strength of the Qing army in Guangdong. If Guangzhou was lost, Guangdong would be completely defeated by the Ming army. Furthermore, the Qing army contracted in Guangzhou and gave up all occupied areas except Guangzhou, which caused the people in these occupied areas to shake the Ming army. At the same time, the Ming army could also obtain manpower, money and food support in these areas. If Li Dingguo had not defeated the two attacks and two defeats, but only maintaining the situation of oppressing Guangzhou would be enough to hide in Pingnan and Jingnan in Guangzhou to drink a pot.

As for this time, Ban Zhifu was suffering from insufficient troops. There were only more than a thousand defenders in Xinhui City, and more than 1,000 Taiping Army. Although there were 3,000 reinforcements, only flag soldiers were available. The more than 2,000 soldiers from Guangzhou Green Camp were not at all. Most of the Guangzhou Green Camp soldiers were surrendered from Fujian and Zhejiang. They could fight with the wind on weekdays. If they really encountered opponents stronger than them, they would be lighter to escape. In other words, this time they came not Li Dingguo's army, but a clearly miscellaneous Taiping Army. If Li Dingguo's army came, the surrendered soldiers from Guangzhou Green Camp would not dare to take them out at all.

Ban Zhifu had no doubts about winning the Taiping Army. Without these more than 2,000 Guangzhou Green Camp, he could kill the Taiping Army in one fell swoop with his eight hundred elite soldiers in the blue flags under his command. However, no one who led the troops to fight would have many soldiers. What is important is that the overall strength of the Qing army in Guangdong was really small, and they could defeat even fewer soldiers. Only then was the royal relative of Li Shutai who snatched away two thousand people. The elite soldiers that could actually be produced by the Pingnan Prince's Mansion were definitely not more than 5,000. Compared with Li Dingguo, who was attacking tens of thousands of troops at every turn, it was really a bit worrying. If Li Dingguo came again this year, Ban Zhifu believed that the strategy adopted by King Pingnan would shrink the troops in various places and stationed in Guangzhou, and there was no other plan.

Inviting the Manzhou soldiers to come to help the war is a bit unrealistic. Hahamu led his troops here for only a few months two years ago. Last year, Zhumala also stayed for less than three months. If the military situation is urgent, the Manzhou soldiers still have to come, but it is impossible to make them stand for a long time. There is no way. These Manzhou soldiers are really afraid of heat. The Manzhou soldiers cannot be invited, but the second Mongolian soldiers are possible. In terms of combat effectiveness, although the Mongolian soldiers are a little inferior to the Manzhou soldiers, they are much stronger than the Ming army. The important thing is that the Mongolian soldiers are no more delicate than those Manzhou soldiers. If the court really dispatches them to stay for a long time, will these Mongolian soldiers dare not obey the order? In view of this, Ban Zhifu had the idea of ​​transferring Mongolian soldiers to the court to help the war.

Transfer Mongolian troops to assist in the war?

Shang Zhixin was stunned for a moment and did not immediately respond to whether Ban Zhifu's strategy was feasible. Instead, he said another thing: "Governor Li Lutai made a memorial to the court, asking the court to set up a city in Guangzhou, spread the Manchus, and the Han Eight Banners soldiers were stationed, and the position of Guangzhou General..."

Before Shang Zhixin could speak, Ban Zhifu said in a lost voice: "Guangzhou must not be built in a city!"

Shang Zhixin nodded and said in a deep voice: "This is what my father and I mean. Li Rutai's opinion on the establishment of a city in Guangzhou may not be adopted by the court."

Ban Zhifu was still a little worried: "We must prevent problems in the future, and there will be more activities in Beijing."

Shang Zhixin said: "The father has already made moves in this matter."

"That's good." Hearing that King Pingnan had sent people to Beijing to stop Li Lutai from asking for the establishment of the city, Ban Zhifu felt a little calm and gritted his teeth and said, "Li Lutai is not a good person. Please set up the city clearly for my Pingnan Palace. This bastard is really hiding evil intentions. Fortunately, the prince is so polite to him!"

If Guangzhou has a city in the city, what else is there? What is the matter with the Pingnan Prince's Mansion? What is Li Luotai's thought of this move? It is really Sima Zhao's heart - everyone knows it.
