Although Yang Zhan has countless strengths, he is just a martial artist, so whether it is in the Longwu Dynasty or the Yongli Dynasty, his status in the court is not high after all, and a large part of his energy has to be used to deal with the internal officialdom struggle of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and finally died in the internal fire of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

But now Liu Yongxi is determined to fully support Yang Zhan, and he immediately asked Bai Wenxuan: "If I fully support Yang Zhan's passage through Sichuan, how long will it take him to clean up the mess in Sichuan?" ”

Bai Wenxuan sighed and said: "Half a year, at most by the end of the year, the whole Sichuan can be unified, and if it is fast, the whole Sichuan can be determined in March!" Sichuan can't afford to die in this situation now, but fortunately, thanks to His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, Sichuan has a glimmer of life! ”

Although Bai Wenxuan was an important general of the Great Western Army, he was very aware of the serious consequences of the killing of the Great Western Army in Sichuan, which had already killed hundreds of thousands of people, and if the situation did not improve, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of people would die.

But Bai Wenxuan still underestimated the severity of this tragedy, in the early years of Shunzhi, this successive military disasters and the continuous famine brought by Sichuan caused Sichuan to lose millions or even tens of millions of people, Liu Yongxi's full support for Yang Zhan as the governor of Sichuan at this time and clean up the mess in central Sichuan can be said to be a meritorious thing.

And Bai Wenxuan continued to talk about Yang Zhan's various benefits: "All the people in Sichuan, whether it is Zeng Ying or the first emperor Zhang Xianzhong or others, only know how to fight the world immediately but do not know how to govern the world, only Yang Zhan is different, and knows what kind of management place can be self-sufficient, if Your Majesty can send a batch of food and salary to General Yang Zhan, Sichuan can naturally pass it on!" ”

Although the statement of "depending on the legend" may be a bit exaggerated, as long as Chengtian Chao and Liu Yongxi fully support Yang Zhan, the situation in central Sichuan will be fundamentally changed, and Liu Yongxi is also as good as a stream: "Since Wenxuan said so, then I am completely relieved!" ”

But Bai Wenxuan asked a very, extremely critical question: "Wen Xuan took the liberty of asking, Wen Xuan originally thought that His Majesty would appease us and others to let us enter Sichuan again, but since Your Majesty fully supports Yang Zhan, the governor of Sichuan, then where will our hundreds of thousands of Great Western Army use force?" ”

Although Bai Wenxuan has decided to cooperate with the Loyal Battalion, he is still concerned about the future of the Great Western Army, and Liu Yongxi said very clearly: "The reason why I appeased the generals of the Xiying is naturally to hope that the generals of the Xiying are extremely rare generals and have high hopes, but I don't want the Xiying to continue to exist!" ”

Although Liu Yongxi clearly said that he "doesn't want Xiying to continue to exist", Bai Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty means that Xiying must be dismantled?" ”

The remnants of the Dashun army were the first to submit to Liu Yongxi, and the "Empress Fengtiangao of the Ming Dynasty" sat next to Liu Yongxi, but the Dashun army was still divided into three independent systems: "Zhongxin Town", "Loyal Brigade" and "Loyal Battalion", and this Huguang Battle also had to be divided into things.

The strength of the Great Western Army is basically intact, even compared with the peak, it is not too inferior, and unlike the Great Shun Army, which cannot find a core leader, as long as Sun Kewang ascends to the heights, he is the leader of the whole army, and in this case, the Great West Battalion must be dismantled and can only be dismantled.

Liu Yongxi nodded: "It's a good thing for everyone that Xiying is dismantled, but since General Bai is the first to join the country, the situation must be different, and I will take extra care of it!" ”

Empress Gao also added beside her: "Yes, if General Bai has any ideas to say, His Majesty will definitely give priority to it!" ”

Hearing Liu Yongxi say this, Bai Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief again: "What can I think, but I want to ask Sun Kewang if he is attached, what specific arrangements His Majesty has for him?" ”

Liu Yongxi immediately laughed: "General Wenxuan is indeed a real person, then I will tell the truth, if Sun Kewang is willing to join the imperial court, then I will let him pacify Yunnan." ”

Even Empress Gao didn't expect Liu Yongxi to have such an arrangement for Sun Kewang, but she still added: "If General Zhengdong is willing to be attached, Your Majesty can naturally refer to the story of the Mu family." ”

Although the Mu family has had ups and downs for two hundred years, it has always been defending Yunnan for the Ming Dynasty, so Bai Wenxuan is very satisfied with Liu Yongxi's arrangement: "If General Zhengdong knew His Majesty's hard work, he would definitely be the first to come over, but after all, there is a Mu family in Yunnan, and I don't know how to deal with the aftermath of this matter!" ”

As the so-called "no merit is not a blessing", although the Chengtian Dynasty continued to play the banner of the Ming Dynasty, but was not willing to carry down the amazing burden accumulated by the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, whether it was the Ming Dynasty's hereditary lord or hereditary military position to "reward meritorious deeds" in order to inherit, the official of the guard was directly changed to a stream official, in this point the Chengtian Dynasty and the Qing State implemented the same policy

Unless the more than 100,000 military attachés of the previous dynasty did make contributions in the Chengtian Dynasty, they were a commoner, and the same is true for the Shijue, the most typical is that the previous dynasty had a hereditary Peng Chengbo and never broke the attack, but since Liu Yongxi named Zhang Boyi as Peng Chengbo, it means that the Ming Dynasty did not recognize these titles awarded by the previous dynasty.

But the situation of the Mu family is very different from these worldly positions, after all, the Mu family has been in Yunnan for more than 200 years, and Sun Kewang will definitely have a conflict with the Mu family when he enters Yunnan, in a sense, Liu Yongxi is ready to drive the wolf and chase the tiger, so Bai Wenxuan will say "After all, there is the Mu family in Yunnan."

And Liu Yongxi immediately laughed: "General Bai probably doesn't know that there is civil strife in Yunnan that has not subsided, and Mu Guogong is in danger. ”

Bai Wenxuan also heard that Yunnan is now in civil strife, and the Great Western Army also has a plan to pass through Yunnan and Guizhou, but it is not clear what the specific situation is, but now when he hears Liu Yongxi say this, he understands it all: "Your Majesty is hardworking, and the four generals will definitely be grateful!" ”

And Liu Yongxi also said very clearly: "The name of this dynasty is ZTE, it is really a business, as long as I am loyal to the country, I will be rewarded!" ”

Bai Wenxuan is more and more happy to listen, he feels that this Chengtian Emperor is indeed their confidant of these chaotic ministers and thieves, after all, the current Ming Dynasty surname Liu is not surnamed Zhu, and the two sides have a complete basis for cooperation.

It's just that when he was happy, there was an amazing news: "Wang Zhaoling, the prime minister of the Great Western Kingdom, is willing to cooperate with the loyalty camp on the orders of the four queens, and Prime Minister Wang Cheng said that as long as His Majesty gives an order, he and the four queens are willing to come over to see Your Majesty immediately!" ”

Hearing the news, Bai Wenxuan was shocked.

He wanted to persuade the four generals to come over and surrender, but no one expected that Wang Zhaoling, who was bent on killing people and purging, would actually lose his sincerity to the loyal camp and Chengtian Emperor Liu Yongxi before the four generals, and his posture was much lower than that of the four generals: "Prime Minister Wang means that you can refer to the story of breaking into the camp, and the four queens have already agreed to this matter!" ”

The first thing Zhang Xianzhong did after establishing the Great Western Dynasty was to seal four maidens in a row, including the Ding family and the Liu family, who had suffered with him for many years, the newly married Bai family, and the Chen family, the daughter of a bachelor who married after entering Sichuan.

In addition to the first dynasty "Empress of the Ming Dynasty", Empress Zhang, there are also "Empress Shuntian of the Ming Dynasty" Empress Zhu and "Empress Fengtian of the Ming Dynasty" Empress Gao, and Mrs. Xing has been following Liu Yongxi to fight in the north and south, and sooner or later she will be crowned the queen, so many people are laughing at the nondescript harem system of the Chengtian Dynasty, and they have all caught up with Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Dynasty.

But since the Chengtian Dynasty has set up so many queens, the desperate Wang Zhaoling feels that he completely likes it, and dedicating the four queens to Liu Yongxi can solve all the problems, but Liu Yongxi very clearly rejected Wang Zhaoling's conditions: "It's just nonsense, I, Liu Yongxi, know the word shame!" ”

And Mrs. Xing was even more unconvinced: "Do you really think that a cat and a dog can become the queen mother of my Chengtian Dynasty?" ”

Although Liu Yongxi has promised to officially canonize her as the queen after returning to Beijing, and she will do it well, and the honorific title will be above the Fengtian High Empress, but now she is not the official Empress of the Ming Dynasty, and now she suddenly ran out of four widows to grab the queen's position with herself, and Mrs. Xing was naturally a hundred dissatisfied.

And Queen Gao was also unkind: "What Sister Xing said is very true, is our queen of the Ming Dynasty a child's play?" One Chen is enough, let alone four! ”

Although Empress Gao agreed to incorporate the remnants of the Great Western Army, it was not Wang Zhaoling's method of contribution, and even if Mrs. Xing was included, there were only two queens on the side of the Great Shun Army, and how could He De of the Great Western Army kill four queens in one go.

Even Bai Wenxuan felt that Wang Zhaoling was completely messing around, and the matter of the surrender of the Great Western Army should be negotiated by the four generals led by Sun Kewang, and Wang Zhaoling would lose his sincerity to the Yue Ming Army before Sun Kewang and other four generals would make the Great Western Army completely unlicensed at the negotiating table.

It's just that he didn't understand at all that it was his first surrender that would cause Wang Zhaoling to react so violently, but Bai Wenxuan still felt that the negotiations between the Great Western Army and the Yue Ming Dynasty should be carried out by the four generals, so he volunteered: "Your Majesty, why don't you let me go and persuade Sun Kewang to persuade them and ensure that they change their minds!" ”

And Xu Zhen, who was gearing up on the side, took the initiative to ask for battle: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go with General Bai Wenxuan." ”

Although Liu Yongxi felt that it was a good thing for Xu Zhen to take the initiative to ask for battle, he still reminded him: "General Xu stabbed Zhang Xianzhong to death with one shot, everyone in Xiying hates you to the core, wouldn't you go to the Great Western Army to fight with meat buns and dogs!" ”

Xu Zhen also figured it out: "Then it's better to let General Bai Wenxuan go to Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, and I will go to Wang Zhaoling and the four queens to see who is more sincere on both sides, and we can't just talk to the same family!" ”
