Qi Liang pondered for a moment, organized his language, saluted Wu Sangui, and said in a circle: "Father! Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! The ancients said: Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles! Before deciding on a strategic direction, we have to figure out how enemy we are. And how many enemies are there in our main enemy? ”

Everyone listened awkwardly, but they could basically understand what Qi Liang meant.

Qi Liang looked to the right and asked, "General Hu!" Can you tell us how many enemies we have? "Among the senior generals, he is only familiar with Hu Guozhu now, so he found him, and Tang Daomu and the others are not qualified to be listed in the court.

Hu Guozhu didn't think about it, and said as a matter of course: "Our enemy is not the Manchu Qing!" ”

Qi Liang nodded and shook his head: "What General Hu said is both right and wrong, our biggest enemy is the Manchu Qing, but we also have other enemies - the former Ming relics and the small countries of the Southern Barbarians!" Because we are now anti-Qing and respect the third prince of Emperor Chongzhen of the former Ming Dynasty, the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty are no longer enemies of me for the time being; And the small Nanban countries never interfered in our Chinese civil war, and their existence is negligible! Therefore, General Hu is right when he says that our enemy is the Manchus! ”

I thought it was a high opinion, but it turned out to be some nonsense, and many people didn't think so.

Qi Liang asked again: "Who is the enemy of the Manchus?" ”

Everyone knows this question, but no one seems to be able to say clearly, glanced at Qi Liang and smiled, and asked himself: "I think there are many enemies in addition to our Qing court, and there is a Rakshasa country (Tsarist Russia) in the northeast that plunders land and burns it; In the north, there was the rebellion of Bulni, the grandson of the Mongol Lindan Khan; In the northwest there is the unauthorized king of Gerdan; In the east, there is the harassment of the Zheng family in Taiwan, and in the southeast, there is the separation of the two feudal domains of King Jingnan and King Pingnan; There was a fierce attack of our army in the south; There are also uprisings of the relics of the former Ming Dynasty and many natural disasters, etc.! ”

Everyone was amazed when they heard this, not only surprised that the Manchus had so many enemies, but also surprised that the prince had all kinds of enemies!

Qi Liang paused for a moment and continued: "Although the Manchus had so many enemies, the Northeast Rakshasa was vast and sparsely populated, and their troops in the Far East were less than 10,000. The Mongols Brni and Geldan had no ambitions, and they only wanted to break away from the Manchu rule and pose a threat to the Manchus, even if they had great ambitions, their population and military problems could not shake the Manchu fundamentals; The two feudal domains of the southeastern Jingnan King and the Pingnan King are still in the wait-and-see stage, although they are also a major problem for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but they do not pose a direct threat for the time being; The uprisings of the former Ming relics were all petty fights, and the Manchu court could also ignore them, and the above were only small enemies of the Manchu Dynasty. In addition, we and the Zheng family in Taiwan want to destroy the Manchu Qing and have the strength to do so, they should be the great enemies of the Manchus, and especially us, the fierce attack of our army has put the Qing court in danger! ”

Everyone listened to Qi Liang's analysis of the Tao, and suddenly became enlightened! Wu Sangui's old arms were wide open, and his heart was happy, when did Xiong'er become so powerful?

At the same time, everyone couldn't help but be disappointed, just heard that the joy of the Qing court's enemies surging all over the world vanished, although there were many enemies in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the threat was still the original two-the Zheng family in Taiwan and the Pingxi Wangfu in Yunnan.

Qi Liang went on to say, "The enemy of our enemy is our friend!" ”

No one has ever heard of this sentence, but if you think about it, there is a deep truth, and everyone is thoughtful.

Qi Liang continued: "After distinguishing between the enemy and us, we will know who to unite and who to defeat!" The 'friends' in the north are too far away for us to reach, so we don't care, and the 'friends' near us must unite, so first we should send messengers to convince them! "It's not that the north is out of reach, but when the traitor Qi Liang can't pass the level in his heart.

Needless to say from Qi Liang, everyone knows this, Wu Sangui has already sent envoys to the other feudatories and the Zheng family in Taiwan.

A white shadow flashed, and he asked with jealousy: "The prince has said a lot, but he still hasn't solved the problem of the direction of the march discussed today!" ”

Seeing that it was Wu Yinglin, Qi Liang glared, turned to everyone and said: "Our enemy is the Manchu Qing, our goal is to destroy the Manchu Qing, and it will be easy to figure out these following things!" For the purpose of destroying the Manchus, there are three strategies: upper, middle and lower! ”

"What are the upper, middle and lower policies? Tell me about it! Wu Sangui asked with interest.

Qi Liang bowed: "Go back to your father!" The best strategy is to abandon all places, concentrate all forces, cross the Yangtze River, and go straight to the Yellow Dragon - Beijing City! Jiongmu stared at Wu Sangui without blinking, his chest full of strong confidence.

Everyone was shocked, this strategy was too unexpected, too bold, and too absurd, everyone shook their heads, only Xia Guoxiang nodded approvingly.

Wang Shirong's starry eyes glowed, his face was smeared with a flush like a ripe peach, and he asked excitedly: "What about Zhongce?" ”

Qi Liang turned around, knowing that Wang Shirong was asking but never looked at him, and said with a wistful gesture: "The central strategy is to march westward to open up the connection with the Wangping Domain, occupy Sichuan, unite with Shaanxi's ***, and then move westward together to attack Beijing City!" ”

Wang Shirong was very happy, this was also his strategy, and he retreated with joy. He is also one of the best strategists in the Yunnan Group, and I don't know why his strategy is only regarded as a middle strategy today, and he is very happy.

The fierce Ma Bao asked: "What about the son's strategy?" ”

Qi Liang glanced at him and said: "The next strategy is to march eastward, occupy Jiangxi and oppress the king of Pingnan in Guangdong, and then contact the king of Jingnan and the Zheng family in Taiwan to march into Beijing!" ”

Everyone was slowly digesting what Qi Liang said, Xia Guoxiang pondered for a moment, and asked with a hint: "Shizi!" Why is it better to concentrate forces and attack Beijing directly? ”

Qi Liang replied: "Our army has tens of thousands of concentrated troops, and all of them are elite soldiers and strong generals, if they go north directly in one go, the Qing court will be unstoppable, because its troops are scattered all over the place, and it may not be enough to transfer reinforcements!" As long as our army takes the city of Beijing, will the provincial capitals not respond one after another? In this way, the Qing court is dead! ”

Xia Guoxiang asked: "Why is it better to march west than east?" ”

Qi Liang said confidently: "Suzhou and Hangzhou in the east are the most important financial areas of the Qing court, and the Qing army in the eastern provinces has gathered heavy troops. And marching to the west, the mountains and mountains in the west are barren, the Qing army is scarce and easy to attack, the people are poor, the people are fierce, and they can get sufficient high-quality soldiers, so it is the middle policy. ”

The more Wu Sangui listened, the more interested he became, and asked, "What about Sun Tingling in Guangxi?" ”

Qi Liang smiled and asked, "Father! Who is closer to Yunnan in Guangxi or Hunan? ”

Wu Sangui said: "Of course it's Guangxi!" ”

Qi Liang bowed: "Why did my father come to Hunan and let go of Guangxi, which is a real threat to Yunnan?" After a meaningful pause, he said, "I think that the wise father has already made proper arrangements!" ”

Wu Sangui Dayue: "My son is amazing, Lone has indeed made arrangements for Guangxi a long time ago!" In a few days, everyone will see the end! ”

Everyone was shocked, no wonder His Royal Highness had never ordered to march into Guangxi, it had already been arranged! knelt down and said: "Your Highness is wise, I can't wait!" ”

Wu Sangui liked Qi Liang more and more when he looked at it, and he had been unhappy with Qi Liang and went to Java earlier.
