Section XVII

Because of the unexpected events in the northwest, in addition to the generals stationed on the front line of the town, the generals of the garrisons in Shanxi, Xuanhua, Shandong, Liaodong and other places, as well as the commanders of the Guards, were all ordered to be conscripted into Beijing to discuss the current military situation.

Of course, such a big move cannot be concealed from the eyes and ears of people with intentions, but as the most powerful force in China at present, the Han army has no intention of concealing it at all. In fact, even if it is covered up, there is no point, the sun is about to start, and if the Lin Han Empire does not react, it will be a very strange thing.

In the middle of the decade, Liaodong Ma Ying, Xuanhua Zhao Guangyuan, Shanxi Wang Jinbao and the Guards Rick and other generals gathered together, Zhongnanhai will be star-studded, and almost the entire Beijing city knows that the Han will have important measures.

After several years of conquest, most of the generals of the Han army were famous, and many gossips were widely circulated among the people, many of which were hilarious. For example, the nicknames of the generals - in the army, there will be some evil habits, such as the general Ma Ying, the old horse thief, the 'sex' character is rough and murderous, and he is extremely fierce in battle, he has two nicknames in the army, and people who are generally more familiar call him "Ma Da Scar", this name comes from the huge scar on his face, this nickname is very common, and Wang Er Mazi Li Si Cripple, many people have similar nicknames, such as Yang Qilong's number one general next to Silu, In his early years, he was injured and broken because of his work, and he also got the nickname of "next to the big scar", which complemented each other with the big scar of the Han army.

But another nickname is not so good, in Liaodong and the eastern 'Mongolian' ancient region, the majority of people call Ma Ying "Ma Mad Dog" or "Mad Dog Horse" behind their backs, of course, the reason is not self-knowing, and Ma Ying himself is also clear, generally people who kill too many people, the reputation cannot be too good.

Comparable to him is the general Zhao Liangdong of Koubei. General Zhao Liangdong became famous in the first battle of Shanxi, and fought with the Jungger East Route Army for several months, a massacre order killed most of Shanxi mourning all over the wilderness, the murder was outstanding, shocked the whole of North China, Shanxi people sent "Zhao Xiaogui" - this meaning is more complicated, to understand a few turns. In the folk saying, the god of death is described as the king of Hades who wants you to die in the third watch, and no one dares to keep you until the fifth watch, but the word Hades describes a very noble existence, and he Zhao Liangdong is obviously not worthy of a butcher, so he turned to another saying, that is, "Hades is good, and the little ghost is difficult", so it is obviously very appropriate to call him Zhao Liangdong "Zhao Xiaogui".

From the perspective of popular psychology, the word "little ghost" describes the fear and hatred of the vast number of working people for Zhao Liangdong, and at the same time expresses considerable contempt and disdain.

In addition, other generals also have their own tuba, such as Wang Jinbao because of a marijuana face, known as "Wang Ma Pi", this nickname is even more vulgar, because "Ma Pi" in many dialects means "female", "sexual" and "raw" breeding device. Brigadier General Zhao Yingkui of the Guards is known as the "Three Hands" because of the disability of his left hand, and Rick is known as the "old 'Mao'" because of his skin 'color' race.

However, Xuanhua 'Mongolian' ancient general Zhao Guangyuan is the only exception, although in terms of combat style, he is not far from the general Ma Ying, but his personality is really good, most of the 'Mongolian' ancients admired his bravery, and the Han people respected him for guarding the border to protect the nation, so he had a good reputation in the jurisdiction, and the people in the army were called "Zhao Haoren".

If you really count them: Ma Mad Dog, Wang Mapi, Zhao Xiaogui, Lao 'Mao', Three Hands, etc., there are almost few good things gathered in the highest ruling center of the Lin Han Empire, no matter how you look at it, there is no half of humanity.

The Shaanxi Military Newspaper arrived in Beijing half a month ago, and then the Shaanxi Governor Zhang Ying followed closely behind, putting aside some irrelevant officialdom clichΓ©s, and the positions of the civil and military officials were clearly distinguished. Anxi general Daniel Zhang and Koubei general Zhao Liangdong both had a high degree of unanimity, believing that this was a good time to take Sichuan, while the governor Zhang Ying was diametrically opposed, his views were inclined to people's livelihood finance, that Ganshan and Shanxi had a series of major wars, the place was barren, and now they had only been recuperating for a year, the grass people were still hungry, many were displaced, the imperial court did not use enough relief to appease them, and in many places there were even a large number of bandits, rogues and small groups of peasant rebel army activities, it can be said that in the vast rural areas, the influence of the Lin Han Empire has not yet penetrated, If the army is hastily raised, it is very likely to cause serious consequences.

This kind of analysis from the perspective of observation has not been unified, Lin Feng can almost imagine that the military, government, civil and military forces in Shaanxi must not get along very well now, but this kind of thing is not strange, because even if it is the center of the empire. With regard to the analysis of the current situation, the judgments and reactions made by Li Guangdizheng and Zhou Peigong's General Staff are diametrically opposed, and they are generally very similar to the civil and military analysis of Shaanxi.

After the circulation of the Shaanxi Military Newspaper was completed, according to the old practice, the first person to speak was still Wang Shirong, the chief of the 'gate' of the Ordnance and Grain Statistics Department. According to his duties, he is the head of the secret police of the Lin Han Empire, and this kind of reconnaissance of foreign affairs activities is also his profession.

"Enlighten the lord!" After more than a year, Wang Shirong was successfully promoted to the rank of brigadier general and officially entered the ranks of generals by virtue of his meritorious service in plotting rebellion. He bowed slightly towards Lin Feng, turned around and hugged his fists, and looked at the group of colleagues, "Your Excellency, what we are discussing now is the matter of Ma Harrier surrendering to my big man." "Don't wait for everyone to 'interject', he continued to introduce, "Wang Fuchen, Shanxi Datong people's clan also, the former thief grass Kou was born, this 'sex' Li, cast Wang's department as a righteous son, changed his surname to Wang, has successively descended to the former Ming Dynasty, Dashun, Li Zicheng and then to the pseudo-Qing, Shunzhi in the early years and with the army of Datong General Jiang Xiang anti-Qing, after the defeat and surrender, depreciating the Xin library as a slave, Shunzhi pro-government, and was favored, to Wu Sangui to supervise the army, conquer Burma, kill the Ming Yongli Emperor, and then led the army to Pingliang, known as "West Road Horse Harrier". After the rebellion of Sangui, Kangxi repeatedly consoled him, gave gold, wine, and gave the yellow coat and the eyes of the 'flower' Ling, put it in Beijing for the eldest son, and gave the leopard tail gun, which can be described as a thousand kinds of envelopment, but also the opposite, and Wu General Wang Ping Fan joined forces, killed the pseudo-Qing Sichuan governor, the general soldier, the governor, and the political secretary of many people, and was awarded the title of "Che Cavalry General" by the Nanzhou Dynasty, and then the "Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu", under the command of more than 11,000 horse troops, more than 30,000 infantry troops, and the old battalion, baggage, miscellaneous soldiers, about 60,000 or 70,000, known as 100,000 troops, for several years to guard Hanzhong, guard Shuzhong' The door's household, and the Ganshan green camp holds. He is a man of little faith and unrighteousness, addicted to alcohol and gambling, but very generous, often spending a lot of money, can win the hearts of the people, and has a heroic style. ”

Lin Feng doesn't know how many times he has read these personal resumes, and he can almost memorize them. On paper, the life experience of this horse harrier can be regarded as a very legendary 'color', you must know that in this era, most people's lives are extremely poor, many often die to old age never left their hometown, this Wang Fuchen was born as a peasant, a big old man with no education, all his life turned around, begging for a job in the cracks of various forces, it is indeed rare to be able to 'mix' to this point today, it can be seen that this guy is definitely not a simple horn 'color'.

He looked towards Li Guangdi, and at this time, the prime minister of the Lin Han Empire lowered his chin slightly, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he was tired and resting, and as if he was contemplating and thinking - in short, a few big words on his face were clearly written: "Do not disturb."

Lin Feng 'touched' his nose, "Ladies and gentlemen, this kid Wang Fuchen has been sent to the 'door' today, do you think we are taking advantage of the situation to get him a guy?!" ”

"!! - Why not?! Ma Ying raised his hand in response, "Lord, what kind of horse harrier dead duck, Lao Tzu has never taken this number to heart!" He clenched his fists and bowed, and said loudly, "Lord, send us to ride the Sixth Army over, and we will take Sichuan down for you!" ”

Lin Feng waved his hand, this Ma Ying now likes to pretend to be rough more and more, don't you know what kind of person he is? However, he didn't intend to demolish him, because Ma Ying's style was also 'forced' by those civil officials in the final analysis.

"Brother, don't be impatient, our Han has three armies in Shaanxi, if you really fight, these guys are not enough, but you have fewer soldiers in Liaodong, don't join in the fun this time!" Lin Feng chuckled and pointed at Li Guangdi, "Jin Qing, do you think we will take Sichuan this time?!" ”

Li Guangdi opened his eyes, raised his head, sighed, and arched his hand, "Back to the lord, according to the minister, this matter must be considered in the long run!" ”

"What do you say?!"

"Without him, my Han has only been recuperating for a year, and the people's livelihood everywhere is hard, and now if the sword soldiers are raised again, won't the more than a year of recuperation fall short?!" Li Guangdi said with a bitter face, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that tomorrow and now, the people will be complaining again!" ”

Lin Feng shook his head and said resolutely, "No, don't talk about this anymore, this time you have to rely on me, this battle must be fought!" ”

Li Guangdi sighed, "The lord doesn't know, this war is quite difficult - our Han Dynasty has newly taken mountains and Shaanxi, shepherding for only a year, the people everywhere are not attached, and the treasury is empty, the minister just calculated, if the war starts, my Han will use at least three armies, and the militia, the husband and other more than 100,000 people, and the amount of food and salary will be millions in the Shaoli, the silver is not a big problem, but this grain is really embarrassing!" He smiled bitterly, "Shanxi has always been barren, the common people can't drink porridge, and it is difficult for the local treasury to store grain. ”

Lin Feng retorted, "As long as you can take Sichuan, this price is worth it!" Sichuan is the country of abundance, let's take it well, and the national strength has to jump a lot! ”

"Sichuan is not so rich!" Li Guangdi corrected, "The lord forgives the sin, the minister flipped through the documents, before the Ming Dynasty, Shuzhong was indeed solid, but after the end of the Ming Dynasty, the war 'chaos', the pseudo-Qing slaughter of Sichuan, the population of Sichuan was nine out of ten, the killing was extremely fierce, and many cities were empty, and now although it has been peaceful for decades, it is still far from coming back!" ”

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously, "Didn't you say Zhang Xianzhong Tu Chuan?!" ”

Li Guangdi turned his head and glanced at Zhou Peigong, his expression was extremely embarrassed, Lin Feng actually asked such a stupid question, which made him, a courtier, feel very shameless.

He said embarrassedly, "...... Cough...... cough, the lord knows that Zhang Xianzhong founded the dynasty in the past and established the name 'Daxi' in Sichuan? ! ”

"Of course," Lin Feng nodded, although his grades in middle school were not very good, he still knew about this matter, "but what does this have to do with the massacre?!" ”

Li Guangdi's face was even more embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at Lin Feng when he turned his face sideways, and said with a wry smile, "Originally, Zhang Xianzhong's plan was to imitate Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms, and according to the fertile soil of Shuzhong, he went down the Yangtze River to get Jingxiang, so he achieved a hegemony...... Cough...... Ahem......"

"yes!" Lin Feng nodded in amazement, "This widow also knows!" ”

Li Guangdi was speechless, he threw a 'look' at Zhou Peigong, Zhou Peigong stepped forward helplessly, hugged his fists and said, "Lord, in your opinion, can this Zhang Xianzhong be a mediocre person?!" ”

"Shouldn't that count? Although the family was defeated in the end, how can it be said that it has been the world for decades, and no one can do anything about him, how can he be considered a mediocre talent? ! ”

"yes!" Zhou Peigong said, "Although Zhang Xianzhong is not a 'heroic', he is also a generation of heroes - think about it, will you massacre the people in Zhili, Beijing, or Ningjin?!" ”

"Neurotic!" Lin Feng smiled dumbly, and then he understood the euphemistic explanation of the two. Unless he loses his mind, what king will carry out a massacre in his "fundamental land"?!

"The Sichuan people are brave! I'd rather die than surrender to a foreigner," Zhou Peigong said with emotion, his eyes welling up with infinite hatred, "When we take the Rabu and Jieshu, we must settle this blood account clearly!" ”

Lin Feng nodded, this thing must be done, the founding of the Lin Han Empire was fundamentally based on Han nationalism, although he didn't know whether Zhang Xianzhong had slaughtered Sichuan or not, but now this sin must be counted on the Eight Banners. He smiled, "Let's take Sichuan when we go back, we must build a temple for Zhang Xianzhong - although he is from a rogue, he is also a national hero who resisted aggression, and he died on the battlefield with a horse leather shroud, and it is really unreasonable not to praise it!" ”

"Lord Shengming!" Zhou Peigong praised loudly, and immediately changed the topic, "According to the meaning of the lord, our Han must go out of Sichuan at this moment?!" ”

"Of course?!" Lin Feng gave him a strange look, according to Zhou Peigong's talent, Lin Feng didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to see the joints at all. "I heard that it's not very good to get through there, if you don't seize the opportunity, it will be difficult to take Sichuan next time!"

"The lord forgives the sin, and the minister thinks it's inappropriate!" Zhou Peigong said solemnly.

Lin Feng was surprised, "Please Pei Gong for advice!" ”

"The ancients said, 'Those who win the hearts of the people win the world,' what does the lord think?!"

Lin Feng almost laughed out loud, to be honest, in his opinion, these words were of course very reasonable, but if they were always true, it would not work. When the Qing soldiers entered the customs and killed countless people, and finally established a colonial regime, can it be regarded as "those who win the hearts of the people win the world"? If this counts, Confucius would have to roll in the grave.

However, such reactionary remarks cannot be propagated on such occasions, and he nodded vaguely, "Of course, of course!" ”

Zhou Peigong smiled and nodded, and arched his hand, "At the beginning of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the Jiangnan was established, and the Xiao Wall rose again, and the people suffered from it, and now the situation is that the one who can solve the upside down of the people is the lord alone," he slowly restrained his smile and said seriously, "Therefore, the 'chest' of the lord should be in the world, a corner of Sichuan, but it is a small profit, where the husband goes, only the lord knows himself!" ”

Lin Feng was stunned, looked at Zhou Peigong fixedly, was silent for a long time, and said in amazement, "What do you mean?!" ……”

"Back to the lord, the minister thinks that my Han should enter Jiangsu and Zhejiang and capture the two kings of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty!"
