But this matter, Wu Zheng and Li Dingguo will really not be clear for a while, Li Dingguo's education level can almost be said to be none, and he said that the economic truth, how can he easily explain it thoroughly, it is indeed a bit troublesome.

Seeing Wu Zheng's silence, Li Dingguo said angrily: "The people of my generation, with the goal of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, are not afraid of death, what kind of silver are they still entangled in?" So I will balance you...... cough, 100,000 stone grain, as long as the soldiers can be fed, they can go into battle! ”

When Li Dingguo said the second half of the sentence, he was obviously lacking in qi.

Also, the 100,000 army traveled 2,000 miles, and there was no surplus food at home, but that's it, it could still be said that the 100,000 stone grain came to it, which really moved Wu Zheng's heart.

But moving is moving, this is really not a matter of food.

Although there were many muskets and artillery in Li Dingguo's army, some of which came from the Jiangnan Military Workshop, and some of which were purchased directly from Fanshang, Li Dingguo's thinking still stayed in the era of cold weapons of swords, bows and crossbows, cavalry, and elephant soldiers.

That is to say, Li Dingguo is not afraid that muskets and artillery will run out of ammunition and projectiles, and he will do the same thing as a sword, and he can also find some stonemasons, chisel a few stone bullets, and stuff them into the barrel of the cannon, and if there is no gunpowder, he will find a craftsman to do it himself.

But Wu Zheng is different, the Northern Expeditionary Army has been equipped with muskets and artillery, and the uniforms are all fabric, and the soldiers wear such military uniforms, if they run out of ammunition, can they go into battle and fight with those enemies who are at least wearing leather armor?

In Wu Zheng's view, there are fewer people killed in each battle? That equals a few more veterans? Veteran Jin Gui, especially when there are years of war like this.

With the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Great Western Army on both sides of the east and west? Pushing north? The Qing army is getting denser and denser, at least hundreds of thousands of troops gathered around Gyeonggi? It's not just a hard bone, it's just a thick human wall.

Every further? It all takes the lives of soldiers to consume.

But Li Dingguo thinks differently? Since following his father-in-law, he has been accustomed to life and death, and he thinks that if you fight, you have to die? As long as you can win? It is also common sense to fill in with life, there are so many people in the world, there are many casualties, and then it is enough to be recruited, where is there no one who works hard for a bite of food?

Two very different ideas? caused the unhappiness of this rally, which Wu Zheng did not expect.

……。

But Wu Zheng still wanted to continue to persuade Li Dingguo.

After the banquet early? Wu Zheng took the initiative to go to the place where Li Dingguo was temporarily staying.

Seeing Wu Zheng's visit, Li Dingguo was also very happy? A smile appeared on his face.

"King Wu, isn't it that I can't listen to persuasion? Is it really ready to fly? I have to send it! ”

A meeting? Li Dingguo explained, "Now that Fujian and Guangdong have been pacified, you are advancing all the way in the east, and our army has only recovered half of Huguang, so let the soldiers stop attacking at this time...... To tell the truth, needless to say, His Majesty does not agree, the soldiers do not agree, even me, I do not agree! ”

Wu Zheng nodded solemnly, he knew that Li Dingguo was telling the truth.

First, the Jianxing Dynasty has extended its tentacles into Qingzhou, not far from Shuntianfu, and the Great Western Army has just left Huguang, how can Yongli not be in a hurry? When he was in a hurry, it must be more than a dozen gold medals that forced Li Dingguo to continue to go north.

Second, the Great Western Army is different from the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Northern Expeditionary Army has a sound salary mechanism, even if it does not fight, it receives the same salary every month, but the Great Western Army is different, although it does not fight and manages food and housing, but there is no silver, if you want to be rewarded, you have to win the battle or have captured, then, at this time, the battle can be easy, it is really difficult to make these proud soldiers stop attacking, I am afraid that even if Li Dingguo is forced to press, there will be some generals who will disobey the yin and yang.

Third, including Li Dingguo, such as Liu Wenxiu and Bai Wenxuan, they also need to make meritorious contributions.

Wu Zheng can understand, but understanding and agreeing are not the same thing.

"What the King of Jin said is right, but the King of Jin should know that Sun Kewang, who is now named the righteous king by the Qing court, is the chief general of the Qing army in Runing Mansion."

It's okay not to mention this, but when he mentioned it, Li Dingguo suddenly exploded, "I'm worried that I have nowhere to find him!" It would be fine if he was a carefree person, but he surrendered to the Qing court and took the trust of his father-in-law on his deathbed, I ...... I will kill my relatives unjustly, and take his head to comfort my father's spirit in heaven! ”

Wu Zheng regretted that he had mentioned Sun Kewang, and hurriedly said: "It is reported that the Qing army in Shaanxi and Gansu has already marched eastward to Wu Sangui and other Qing troops...... The king of Jin attacked north at this time, and it was very likely that he would be surrounded by the enemy on three sides...... King Jin, listen to my advice, there is a kind of retreat, called victory! ”

Li Dingguo slowly calmed down, squinted and pondered for a long time.

Wu Zheng did not urge, and waited quietly.

Li Dingguo Huo Di opened his eyes and looked at Wu Zhengdao: "Even if as you said, if the Qing army in Shaanxi and Gansu is advancing eastward, it will take at least ten days and a half months to reach Runing Mansion, then, within five days, our army will only have to face Sun Kewang's more than 10,000 white flag Han troops and more than 50,000 Azig troops who may arrive...... Right? ”

Wu Zheng frowned, but still nodded and said, "It should be...... Be. ”

Li Dingguo frowned, "Then there is no problem, the front army of our army that has entered Runing has reached 30,000 people, and the 50,000 rear army is marching north, and it will take three days at most to form an encirclement of Runing...... It's a big deal, capture Runing, capture Sun Kewang alive, and then I will order to stop the northward advance and stick to Runing. ”

Wu Zheng heard that Li Dingguo's real purpose was Sun Kewang, and he didn't want to kill Sun Kewang, but ...... Alive!

Wu Zheng was really worried, "This matter is not appropriate...... King Jin has to take into account that Liu Wenxiu, Bai Wenxuan and other generals of the Great Western Army were originally subordinates of Sun Kewang, and even King Jin couldn't bear to kill Sun Kewang, let alone those generals? ”

When Li Dingguo heard this, he was not happy, he glared wide-eyed, "Who said I couldn't bear to kill him...... Betraying the Lord and recognizing the thief as a father, everyone in the world can punish him! ”

Wu Zheng knew that he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only get up and arch his hand: "Since King Jin has made up his mind, then I won't persuade him...... In this way, I immediately sent someone to send an order to Li Guo and Liao Zhongping, and transferred Guang Xinwei and the left battalion of the Beijing army to the west, even if they could not catch up with the battle in the end, they could contain Azig and make him dare not reinforce Sun Kewang with the whole army. ”

Li Dingguo nodded, patted Wu Zheng's hand and said, "Actually, I understand your intentions......." ”

Wu Zheng's heart warmed, and he was about to say something.

Li Dingguo has already changed his words, "Are Sixing and Haiyue okay?" ”

Wu Zheng replied: "It's all good, the prince has been promoted to the deputy regiment in the first army...... Haiyue has been busy with the affairs of the inspection office, by the way, she knows a lot now, and it is the eldest sister and third sister of Wei Guogong who are teaching her ....... ”

Li Dingguo smiled, raised his hand and patted Wu Zheng's shoulder and said, "That's good...... But don't give me a sloppy eye, you have to pay attention to Haiyue's family business! ”

Wu Zheng could only nod his head.
