This gives him a greater chance of winning compared to the relatively weaker southern offensive group he assembled when he marched south to Jiangnan.
According to intelligence, there are still 65,000 troops from the Beijing garrison in Jiangnan, as well as over 10,000 defeated soldiers under Dong Zhonglou and Li Jinglong.
He Tengjiao also scattered troops as he went, while simultaneously capturing 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers along the way.
The total is just over 100,000.
As for the garrison troops in various parts of Jiangnan, their combat effectiveness was truly unbearable to witness.
Li Qin immediately ruled them out.
What did Li Qin think of these 100,000-plus troops?
They were a group of well-trained recruits who hadn't seen much blood, and a group of defeated and fleeing soldiers.
The Southern attack group is more than capable of dealing with them.
As for other miscellaneous matters...
This refers to various disasters in different regions, as well as some sporadic rebellions.
Oh, and his nephew Li Xuanshang reported that he has further reduced his activities in Zhaoshuai Town within the Taihang Mountains.
Now, some of Zhao Shuaizhen's men have begun to surrender to them.
Li Qin was indeed skeptical of what his nephew had said.
According to intelligence from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, various regions in Zhili were being harassed by Zhao Shuaizhen's army.

After dealing with the outside matters.
Li Qin also devoted some of his energy to the mansion.
A while ago, Jiang Qingyue gave birth to a boy.
The officials below searched through ancient books and came up with a name for him. He chose one and named him Li Ruci.
Li Qin just randomly chose one; a name is just a code, and it doesn't matter to him.
If he is truly suitable in the future, he can become the crown prince, and we can change his status later.
As for his two legitimate sons who had always followed him and listened to his political affairs.
Li Ruwen and Li Ruwu.
After this period of investigation.
Li Qin's observation of the two men revealed that the second son, Li Ruwu, was very loyal and straightforward, but he couldn't handle government affairs and had to read memorials every time.
I remember he was so worried he was about to die.
As for the eldest son, Li Ruwen, he can quietly observe and offer some immature opinions.
He was just extremely reluctant to talk, and when he did speak, he was hesitant and awkward.
Although he seemed as timid and coy as a girl, the advice he gave was sharper and sharper than the last.
