Chapter 1187: Layout
PS: Thanks to the book friend "Huang Heming", "I have been always looking for you!" Vote for a monthly pass.
Thinking of this, Huang Yingyun put away his excitement and excitement and began to fall silent.
Wu Zheng looked at Huang Yingyun's expression and knew that he probably understood.
So he continued: "This is only one of the aspects, the hearts of the people in the north are actually no longer in the Ming, it is easy to recover the land, but it is not a short time to recover the hearts of the people, once the attack is ruthless, the hearts of the people will turn to the Manchus, if the means are moderate, how to eliminate those traitors and black sheep?" ”
Speaking of this, Wu Zheng took a long breath and said: "Besides, what you have seen in the past few days, the Northern Expeditionary Army seems to be strong, but the number of people is not enough, it is not difficult to launch a surprise attack and capture Yangzhou, but it is not easy to hold it after the capture...... Strength still needs to be accumulated. ”
Huang Yingyun asked gloomily, "When will it have to be?" ”
Wu Zheng snorted lightly: "It won't be too long, the time and place are favorable, the time and place are easy to obtain, and the people are troublesome, but it's not impossible to do...... Look, aren't you coming? ”
Huang Yingyun was stunned for a moment, "Although the student has the heart to repay King Wu, I am afraid that his ability is limited......." ”
"Misunderstanding." Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "What this king means is that you can come from thousands of miles away, and people from Jiangxi, Huguang and other places that are closer will naturally come...... With the first, there will be a second, in groups of three or five. ”
Huang Yingyun immediately understood this time, he nodded and said: "What does King Wu mean to attract talents from all over the world to invest with his own strength?" ”
Wu Zheng smiled: "Although it is not hit, it is not far behind." Talent is important, the people are equally important, gentlemen can be bullied, but the people need to see the real benefits, only the people under the rule of the king have a better life, the people around the world, will have a real yearning heart. When the people's hearts are desired, it is the day when the king swears to the Northern Expedition. ”
Huang Yingyun solemnly said: "The students have been taught. ”
……。
Three days later, Huang Yingyun was ready to return to Anshun to resume his life.
He came to say goodbye to Wu Zheng a day earlier.
Wu Zheng met with him again.
"The students will leave for Guizhou early tomorrow morning to say goodbye to King Wu."
Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Pay attention to safety on the road, the old horse has already prepared for you...... After returning home, he will tell General Li everything he has seen, heard, and understood here, and as for General Lee's understanding, it is his own business. ”
"Thank you King Wu for the reward." Huang Yingyun wanted to speak and stopped.
Wu Zheng said with a smile, "You have been here for six or seven days, you should know that in this king's place, you can say anything, even if you say it wrong, you will not be punished for your words." ”
Huang Yingyun said: "What King Wu said is true, Jiangnan College's breadth of words is indeed surprising to students. ”
Wu Zheng laughed, "This king can hear it, you are joking...... Those students really dare to say anything, but this king doesn't care, instead of letting them be depressed and aggrieved in their hearts, it is better to pour it out, everyone debates, the more they argue, the clearer it is, and if they make it clear, there will be nothing to do...... It's okay. ”
"King Wu misunderstood." Huang Yingyun hurriedly explained: "Learning from others, expressing their own opinions, and doing scholarship is naturally the most joyful...... How dare the students ridicule His Highness with this...... What the students want to say is that this time they went to Jiangnan and saw the sharp weapons of the Northern Expedition under His Royal Highness, if King Wu agreed, could he give some to my lord to help recover the ...... of Guizhou. ”
Wu Zheng looked at Huang Yingyun with a smile.
Huang Yingyun's old face turned red, and he said hurriedly: "King Wu, don't worry, if His Royal Highness is willing to agree, my lord will definitely buy ...... at a high price with silver." ”
Wu Zheng laughed and said: "Huang Yingyun, Huang Yingyun, dare you to say something, I want to get something from this king and go back to the errand...... Are you the king of this king, and you are the one who sees money? ”
Huang Yingyun was stunned, a little disappointed in his heart, and said: "The student knows that this is ridiculous, and King Wu is also preparing for the Northern Expedition...... His Royal Highness's hospitality to me this time has given me a lot of insight, and the students still want to be longwangshu...... Please forgive Your Highness, just as the student did not mention this matter. ”
Wu Zheng looked at Huang Yingyun for a while, which made Huang Yingyun a little cramped.
"Do you want to be the king? Reluctant? ”
Huang Yingyun looked at Wu Zheng in surprise.
"This kind of weapon, as long as it is used to resist the Qing Dynasty, it is the same in anyone's hand, how can this king be reluctant?" Wu Zhengzheng said, "I won't hide it from you, the day you arrived in Hangzhou Mansion, this king had already ordered to prepare a merchant fleet along the river to transport weapons to General Li." ”
Huang Yingyun was overjoyed when he heard this, and he bowed down to thank him.
Wu Zheng stretched out his hand and stopped: "But don't be too happy, this king said that the farthest west of the Northern Expeditionary Army is the line of Jiujiang and Poyang Lake, and you can't enter it further west...... Therefore, even if the king agrees, you will not be able to transport it back. ”
Huang Yingyun's face was gloomy, he knew that Wu Zheng was telling the truth.
"Thank you, Your Highness King Wu." Huang Yingyun bowed and said, "Although it is impossible to bring back such a heavy weapon for my lord, but His Royal Highness's heart is down, and the student will definitely bring it back to Anshun and report it to my lord." ”
Wu Zheng smiled again, "Haven't you thought that General Li can move eastward?" ”
Huang Yingyun looked at Wu Zheng in shock, isn't this a joke? Half of Guizhou is still under the control of the Qing army, and it is inconceivable to advance eastward from Anshun Prefecture to Huguang and expand thousands of miles.
Not to mention that Li Dingguo only has more than 50,000 people at present, even if the more than 100,000 people of the entire Great Western Army obey the order of Li Dingguo, I am afraid that it will be difficult to open up the passage from Guizhou to Huguang, and even have to set foot in a corner of Jiangxi to get Wu Zheng's firearms, which is too high.
Wu Zheng looked at Huang Yingyun's expression and guessed the disappointment in Huang Yingyun's heart, so he smiled and said, "You misunderstood." This king did not want General Li to go east at this time, his foundation at this time was not stable, and his primary goal was to strengthen his own power. ”
Huang Yingyun asked: "What do you mean by the words of His Highness?" ”
"First grow, and then eastward, open up the passage of Guizhou, Huguang, and Jiangxi, so that the world will be cut in half diagonally, and the Qing army in Fujian and Guangdong will become a lone army, except for going to the sea, there is only one way to surrender...... Of course, the Qing court naturally refused to sit idly by and watch the surrender of the Qing army in Fujian and Guangdong, and would definitely concentrate its forces to the south, and the king's northern expeditionary army could be used to block the Qing army in the north from crossing the river. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Zheng pointed to the map in front of him and said to Huang Yingyun: "At present, the Yixing Dynasty and the Qing court have an armistice agreement, and this king has not yet been able to prepare for a decisive battle...... Therefore, this king wants to ask General Li to start the eastward march next year to cooperate with this king's strategy. ”
