Chapter 1623: Honest Man

PS: Thank you for the monthly tickets voted by the book friends "Yuan Awakening" and "Big Cat".

"Thank you King Jin for your success." After waking up, Wu Zheng greeted Li Dingguo with a big gift, "Wu Zheng is the uncle of the family and the three thousand heroes and 100,000 innocent people in Jiading City, thank you for the great grace of the King of Jin!" ”

Li Dingguo couldn't help swallowing his saliva, he stretched out his arms together, and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands, it won't be like this...... Quick, lie back, don't hurt your bones. ”

Wu Zheng snorted, "King Jin is too worried, I'm not so weak...... Before, it was just a big revenge, and the depression in my heart was vented, and I couldn't resist it...... If the king of Jin doesn't believe it, how about summoning a banquet and wine, and I will accompany the king of Jin to conspire to get drunk? ”

Only then did Li Dingguo let go of his hand and said, "That's good, that's good...... But let's take it slow when you eat and drink, you don't have to ...... Let Haiyue blame me, haha...... Ha ha! ”

Wu Zheng was a little embarrassed, and coped with it with a smile.

The two of them sat down on the edge of the couch with their arms folded.

Li Dingguo cut to the chase, "I heard that Guangxinwei rebelled and entered Fengyang Mansion...... This matter makes me very puzzled, no matter how bad Li Guo is, he will not rebel against you and surrender to the Qing Dynasty? Also, the sudden attack of the Qing army on Haizhou is also quite strange...... Is Fulin Baby crazy? He is not afraid that I will go straight from Huguang to Henan, and then I will fight with you on both sides? ”

Wu Zheng smiled, and then explained the matter to Li Dingguo one by one.

Li Dingguo was relieved, but still asked, "But you do this...... What is the reason? If you really want to go on the Northern Expedition, just send a message to the world, I dare not say it to others, and my Great Western Army will definitely respond! ”

"Xie Jin Wang Gaoyi!" Wu Zheng thanked him, "This is also the reason why I temporarily asked King Jin to meet this time." ”

"But there is something to ask for, and there is nothing to should." Li Dingguo said decisively.

"Thank you." Wu Zheng thanked again, "King Jin estimates, what are the chances of launching the Northern Expedition at this time?" ”

Li Dingguo frowned slightly and said, "To tell the truth? ”

"Of course."

“…… Sixty percent! Li Dingguo hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth, "The northwest is not as rich as Jiangnan, after being swept away by the Qing army, it can be described as a thousand miles of red land, and now there are more Wu Sangui, Meng Qiaofang, Tikamu and other departments entrenched in Hanzhong to Chang'an, Luoyang along the line...... Although the Qing court was beaten by the Northern Expeditionary Army in the south of the Yangtze River, the main force of the Qing army was still there...... At this time, you and I join forces with the Northern Expedition, the greatest possibility will be to prompt the Qing army to shrink in the direction of Shanxi and Henan, and join forces with the Qing army in Shandong, so that the resistance that you and my two armies will encounter must be the greatest. ”

Speaking of this, Li Dingguo comforted Wu Zheng and said: "But don't worry, as long as it is to expel the Tartars and recover the lost land, I, Li Dingguo, will have nothing to say." ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "My judgment is no different from that of King Jin, but I think the odds of winning should be seventy percent." ”

"Oh, tell me about it."

"Humanity, human heart." Wu Zhengdao, "Human nature tends to benefit and avoid disadvantage, before the Qing army went south, unstoppable, people who want to be comfortable, although they don't want to be thieves, but for the interests and lives of themselves and their families, they have to be thieves, but it really comes to the promulgation of the Northern Expedition, when the Great Western Army and the Northern Expeditionary Army join forces to attack the north, there will always be people who will change their votes, and the number will not be small, including some of the original Ming army that surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, I incorporated the ancestral Dabi Department in Huai'an City, which is a precedent. ”

Li Dingguo nodded in agreement, "This is exactly what you expected." ”

"Speaking of people's hearts, I'm afraid no one really wants to be a slave. Those who willingly surrender to the Qing court as slaves are nothing more than trying to rely on the Qing court and regain the dignity and interests they have lost from their own compatriots, but what will they do if they find out that they will pay several times or even an unbearable price for the evil deeds they have done? ”

Li Dingguo thought for a while and said, "Either you will intensify your fight against Wang Shi, or you will ...... It is also intensified, but it is the Qing court that is dealing with it. For they may think that only by giving greater credit can they be pardoned in the future. ”

Wu Zheng stroked his palms and praised: "The King of Jin is no different from what I thought, the Northern Expedition has never been a simple military strength fight, if it is really that simple, then, even if the 100,000 enemy troops are lucky enough to get Shuntianfu, they will not be able to continue to move south, because their population is too small to afford losses, and it is not enough to fight a protracted war with the Han people." But as a result, the Qing army was invincible all the way and almost occupied Liangguang, and most of the people who really fought against the Han were the original Ming army, and most of the people who caused the tragic events of Yangzhou Ten Days, Jiading Three Massacres, and Jiangyin Massacre were Li Chengdong and others. ”

Li Dingguo didn't stop at the head of his jaw, "Well said, if the Han people are as firm as you and me, how can the Tartars go south?" I'm afraid that if I can't get out of Henan and Shandong, there will be no one. ”

Wu Zheng laughed and said: "So, I think that in the Northern Expedition, the first thing to be eradicated is Li Chengdong and these people, as long as they are swept away and Shuntianfu is recovered, it will be a matter of course...... This is also the reason why I said that at this time, the Northern Expedition has a seventy percent chance of victory. ”

Li Dingguo thought for a while and said, "But some of these people you said are in the open, and some are in the dark...... How to tell the difference? ”

"This is the real reason why I let Guangxin Wei enter Fengyang." Wu Zheng explained, "The king set the Central Plains Day in the north, and don't forget to tell Nai Weng for the family sacrifice...... In a blink of an eye, it has been six years since the country was broken, and the people of Jiangbei who are eager to be clear are tired, they need confidence, and those who are willing to be slaves have forgotten that there is still a cycle of heaven, and Guangxinwei is a sharp knife, forming a protrusion, which can wake everyone up ....... ”

“…… But I must admit that now the General's Mansion has fallen into a severe crisis, and the King of Jin should also know that everything the General's Mansion has done in the past six years has come from the credibility and military strength of the General's Mansion...... I can't bet on that, to be precise, I need another strong force to guarantee my loan. ”

Li Dingguo frowned, to be honest, he didn't understand very well.

In his heart, Wu Zheng is like an omnipotent ...... "god"? No, no, this word is not appropriate, Li Dingguo shook his head, to be precise, Li Dingguo really thinks that Wu Zheng is a genius who meets once in a thousand years.

Indeed, it was almost self-made, but it had the ability to turn the tide, almost like a rock blocking Hangzhou Mansion, blocking the Qing army going south, so that it had to divide its troops in front of this rock, all the way into Jiangxi, all the way into Huguang.

What kind of power this is, I'm afraid only God knows, anyway, Li Dingguo thinks he can't understand it.

Therefore, when Wu Zheng said the weakness behind the Great General's Mansion, Li Dingguo couldn't accept it for a while.

He received tens of thousands of muskets, 100 artillery pieces and hundreds of thousands of stone grain from Wu Zheng, and only then did he have the feat of recovering Fujian, Guangdong, and Huguang.

Now, Wu Zheng told him that the General's Mansion was poor, so poor that it would fall apart at any time, and Li Dingguo couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.

Li Dingguo said: "Then I...... How can I help you? ”
