The Qing soldiers punched and kicked Li Changshui, and although Li Changshui counterattacked, he was outnumbered and was quickly knocked down.

The Qing soldiers still didn't mean to let him go, how fierce he came.

"Something like a dog, how dare you beat Lao Tzu!"

The Qing soldier who was hit rubbed his waist that was hit painfully, and scolded: "Seeing that you are quite old, I didn't want to arrest you to be a master coolie, this is what you asked for!" Come on, take it away! ”

Li Changshui saw that his plan succeeded, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as his son is fine, it doesn't matter if he dies of exhaustion in the Qing army.

But the incense of the old Li family can't be broken, son, you must live well!

...

...

Wu Sangui connived at the looting of the soldiers under his command, and the chickens and dogs jumped to stir up the entire Guiyang Mansion.

Pity those local people, not to mention paying high taxes on weekdays, they have to be harassed and plundered by Wu Sangui, they can't even save a grain of rice at home, and they have to be taken away to work as coolies.

When many people heard that Wu Sangui's army was coming, they were so frightened that they hid in the mountains for refuge.

This kind of fearful life is really unbearable.

Wu Sangui didn't mean to stop, and led his troops to sweep over like locusts.

Didn't you Hong Chengchou not provide Lao Tzu with food and grass?

Good! Then Lao Tzu will rob it himself!

When Lao Tzu feels that he has grabbed enough, Lao Tzu will attack Yunnan again!

...

...

Wu Sangui made such a big move in Guiyang Mansion, it was naturally impossible for Hong Chengchou not to know.

In fact, he has been watching from the sidelines.

The reason why he didn't stop it was because Hong Chengchou didn't want to make a fight.

Although he and Wu Sangui are not used to each other, they must at least maintain a minimum of face.

No one knows better than Hong Chengchou what Wu Sangui's army means.

Even if Wu Sangui only attacked Yunnan at this time, it would be excellent for the Qing court.

Now although Yongli has moved the capital to Sichuan, Kunming has been in Kunming for several years after all, and the foundation is still there.

Hong Chengchou wanted to see what Yongli would do in the face of the siege of Wu Sangui, a vicious dog.

Of course, it may not be useful to save Zhao from Wei Wei, if the Yongli strong man breaks his wrist, there is really no way to take Huguang Hong Chengchou.

I can only hope that Aobai, who went north to reinforce it, can hold back Yongli.

In fact, the battle situation has become what it is today, which Hong Chengchou never expected.

Originally, he thought that it would only take two or three years at most to completely bulldoze the remnants.

But Yongli seemed to have suddenly changed people, no longer cowardly and incompetent, but several personal expeditions, which raised the morale of the Ming army again.

Morale is a strange thing.

The Ming soldiers are still those soldiers, and the generals are still those generals, but you can clearly feel the changes that have taken place in the Ming army.

That kind of confidence that emanates from the inside out makes Hong Chengchou wonder who is the dominant side.

It means that the army suddenly attacked Huguang, who would have thought that the Ming army would take a risky gamble this time in the case of an absolute disadvantage?

At least Hong Chengchou thinks that if he were replaced, he will not do it.

But now the situation is not getting out of control.

As long as Wu Sangui can take Kunming, the situation is not too bad.

Huguang is the place of four battles, and even if the Ming army takes it, it will be difficult to defend.

Making this exchange is not a loss for the Qing army.

It's just that the court has to find a way to appease it.

Emperor Shunzhi was young and frivolous, and he couldn't stand the loss of face.

I had to figure out a way to explain it to him.

...

...

"Teacher, this Wu Sangui is too deceitful. You have to heal him! ”

Zhao Liangdong couldn't stand it when he saw that Wu Sangui was such an inappropriate person, so he ran to Hong Chengchou's side to complain.

"How to cure him? Fight with him? Or write a note to impeach him? Qingzhi, when encountering problems, you can't just look at the present, but also look at the long term. ”

Zhao Liangdong was a little unconvinced: "You always tell me on weekdays that you can't care about temporary gains and losses. But now it's obviously Wu Sangui who is excessive. If you continue to indulge him like this, there is no guarantee that he will not do anything shocking. ”

"Qingzhi, let me ask you, what does Wu Sangui want most now?"

"Money? Woman? Probably neither. ”

Zhao Liangdong shook his head and said, "Maybe it's the territory." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and his heart was teachable.

"Yes, what Wu Sangui hopes to get most now is territory!"

He paused, swallowed and foamed: "The imperial court once promised to reward Yunnan as a fief to Wu Sangui. But Yunnan still can't fight for a long time, Wu Sangui must be very anxious in his heart. Now that the main force of the Ming army is attacking Huguang and Yunnan is empty, Wu Sangui will definitely work hard. ”

"But what's in it for us? Wouldn't Wu Sangui take Yunnan even more in his eyes? ”

"But it's good for the court. If you think about it, the Ming army's loss of Yunnan must have changed. Their current main force has lived in Yunnan for many years, and when they learn that the nest is ended, can they feel comfortable? ”

Hong Chengchou said leisurely: "The farther away a person is, the longer he leaves, the more nostalgic he will be for the past." When I was in Sichuan, this feeling was not too obvious, but in Huguang it was completely different. ”

"What does the teacher mean to wait for the eternal experience of people's hearts to be lost?"

"It's not going to be lost, but it's definitely going to be divided internally, and that's our chance."

Hong Chengchou analyzed: "I heard that Zheng Chenggong has laid down Nanjing. At this time, the morale of the Ming army was at its peak. At this time, it is difficult to take advantage of the Ming army. It's better to wait. ”

"Wonderful! As soon as the teacher analyzed this, I understood it all. ”

"Besides, with Wu Sangui taking the lead, it will save us from taking action. He is the best to beat Yunnan, even if he can't beat it, it's not us who take the blame. ”

Hong Chengchou has always been good at calculation, and naturally he will not do things that he suffers.

"It's just that the imperial court will urge us to use troops?"

"If it was in the past, I am afraid that the emperor's decree has arrived. But now Huguang and Jiangnan have become a pot of porridge. Do you think the emperor still has the heart to ask about the southwest? ”

Hong Chengchou squinted his eyes and stroked his beard.

"The teacher is really a god operator, and he calculates people's hearts so clearly."

Zhao Liangdong said proudly: "This Ao Bai is also a fool, he goes to Huguang like this, even if he gets the credit, it is not as comfortable as Wu Sangui's siege of the city." However, they are all arranged for the teacher clearly, and the teacher is sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai in Guiyang, isn't it beautiful? ”

"Haha, this is called the conspirator who governs people, and the conspirator governs people. Qingzhi, you have to study hard and strive to be a mastermind instead of a planner. ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head very proudly.

"Thank you for the teacher's advice, the students have been taught."

Zhao Liangdong clenched his fists and said, "The student really wants to see how this Wu Sangui ends now." ”
