After Li Qin gave the order to Zhou Wentong in the Northwest, he immediately put it in a box and sealed it.
He ordered someone to deliver it to Zhou Wentong in the Northwest as fast as possible.
After sending the secret memorial containing his orders to the Northwest, Li Qin pulled out a map of the Great Wu from the side.
They started again, taking the pieces and setting up the overall situation.
With his southward campaign that destroyed the Jiangnan court, Zhejiang and Jiangnan are now in his hands.
As long as the Northwest Incident proceeds smoothly and according to my plans.
The Northwest can also be taken into its own hands.
As for the remaining two towns in the Northwest, Ningxia Town and Yulin Town, once we take control of the Northwest, do you think they'll dare disobey my orders?
Li Qin's hand kept moving across the map, placing the chess pieces one by one.
As long as the Northwest issue is resolved.
Liu Sixiu of Bashu was in a completely disadvantageous position because Huguang was also under his control.
His Sichuan and Chongqing regions, whether to the north or the east, directly bordered him.
If I were to fall out with him, I could attack from the north and east.
Of course, those who shared the same fate included Li Hongji from Henan, Jiang Xiangyang from Datong, and Jin Hufu from Jiangxi.
The reason why Qin Chenyao of Shandong was not mentioned is mainly because Shandong has already been thoroughly infiltrated by him.
Although Qin Chenyao is still their commander, it would be much more effective for me to give an order directly to the Shandong officials than for Qin Chenyao to issue one.
He had long considered Shandong his own territory.
As for Li Hongji of Henan, whether he looked north to Hebei and Shanxi, west to Shaanxi, east to Shandong, or south to Hubei and Hunan, all of these were now his territory.
He was completely surrounded by himself.
Jiang Xiangyang of Datong, needless to say, had long been surrounded by those he had won over.
As for Jinhu Prefecture in Jiangxi, after it gained control of Jiangnan and Zhejiang...
He now has Jiangnan to the north, Zhejiang to the east, and Huguang to the west, all of which are his own territories.
He was surrounded by himself on three sides.
It can be said that these major feudal lords have all been firmly locked up in their own territories.
No matter who raises an army, it is impossible for their territory to be connected with that of other feudal lords.
Instead, it was a complete mess.
Li Qin looked at the scattered feudal lords on the map.
They did not continue to move the pieces representing them.
Instead, they set their sights on Lingnan and Yunnan-Guizhou regions.
These areas have been isolated since the chaos began, and no political announcements have been made.
Its presence was very weak from beginning to end.
He will soon become emperor through some means.
A change of dynasty is imminent.
I'm about to change the name of my country.
He and so many feudal lords would acknowledge his new dynasty.
Why do you want to continue to remain neutral in the south with these few plots of land?
Li Qin was already prepared to issue edicts to these places after he ascended the throne.
Based on their own speculation, they believe that these places will recognize their new dynasty.
After all, for the vast majority of historical times...
Once the central government conquers Jiangnan, Lingnan and other areas will directly submit to it.
Moreover, once his dynasty is established, the North, the Central Plains, the South, Huguang, and Bashu will all recognize it.
Unless the officials in Lingnan and other places are completely incompetent, they would all submit petitions of submission, acknowledging his status as emperor and his rule over those areas.
The chieftains in Yunnan and Guizhou would also choose whoever had the strongest legs to cling to.
There's not much to worry about in these places.
Li Qin's main concern right now is the Fujian region.
It should be noted that Fujian had previously recognized the Jiangnan imperial court.
The Jiangnan court has now fallen.
According to current intelligence, Zheng Chenggong is also dead.
However, the Zheng family's influence in Fujian has been strong for decades.
According to intelligence, before leaving Fujian, Zheng Chenggong handed over the land to his son, Zheng Jinshe.
Now he has killed his father and so many people in Fujian.
This has caused many of them to lose loved ones, and many people in Fujian probably hate them to the core.
If I want them to submit to me smoothly, the resistance will probably be quite significant.
He even had to prepare for a battle with Fujian.
Li Qin was also somewhat troubled if it came to attacking Fujian.
Fujian has been known since ancient times as a place where military strategists did not contend.
That place is full of mountains. If we really send a large army to conquer Fujian by land...
That was truly a difficult situation.
Those were truly endless mountains, especially since snakes and rats were everywhere, and there was even miasma.
If only a small number of troops are sent, it will be difficult to conquer Fujian.
But what about logistics and supplies if there are too many troops?
Then Li Qin looked at his Shandong navy and wondered if he should send the navy to try it out from the sea.
After all, most of Fujian's main water-based forces have been sunk into the Yangtze River.
However, it would be even better if troops were dispatched simultaneously on land and at sea.
If only there were someone knowledgeable about Fujian to lead the troops.
However, most of his generals came from the north, and very few came from the south.
Not to mention those from Fujian.
Sending my own generals from the north to Fujian, it would be a miracle if they didn't suffer from acclimatization problems.
Just as Li Qin was pondering, his gaze suddenly swept over the Northwest, which he had just been thinking about.
