It seems that a few of us are still old, and we can't compare to them. ”

Watching the three women's colorful boats gradually move away, the waves on the shore said to Qianqian and Fang Zhi.

Qianqian smiled, her expression a little suspicious: "Are you old?" If Fang Zhi and I are about the same age, how do you feel like you've been ten years younger lately? ”

Of course, Qianqian has something to say, and recently Tianlang has been tossing in Guilin City in the name of Qin Shou.

Emperor Wuzong went to Datong to mess around, and named himself Zhu Shou, you are good, even the surname has been changed, and you have made such a name that is not as good as that of a beast.

"To correct it, it's Qin Shou, not a beast."

Qianqian flattened her mouth, "Hmph, but the things you did were really inferior to beasts, putting on sacks, beating stuffy sticks, fighting in groups on the street, until you dressed like that and fought in groups on the street, did you say that you went back more and more, back to ten years ago?" ”

Qianqian is obviously talking about the memories of the two when they were children, Tianlang was just about to explain, but Qianqian suddenly changed her attitude, and said with a smile: "But I like it, hehe, if possible, I also want to go back to the past with you." ”

Tianlang reluctantly asked Qianqian's words, but his eyes never moved away, and he said in a deep voice for a while: "Qianqian, you have changed." ”

If I could, I would like to go back with you.

"Uh, is it a change of heart? Or have people changed? ”

"No, it's that you're no longer as irritable as before, and you're suffering from gains and losses like before, especially today, knowing that I'm about to go on an expedition, your performance surprised me and made me feel at ease."

Qianqian glanced at him, muttered and said: "I'm almost the mother of two children, what else is there to gain and lose, if there was before, it was also forced by this damn world, but, unexpectedly, in addition to love, you and I are gradually changing this world." ”

"Change?" "It's too early to say this, the revolution hasn't succeeded yet." ”

"Yes, comrades still need to work hard, I know, so don't worry, I, my children and my family will no longer be a burden to you, it can only be your help and expectation, and it is your calling.

Although the Zilharang you are about to face is very powerful, and there are still more than 100,000 elites of the Eight Banners under your command, but so what, you are not only our hero, but also the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty, and recently you have become a hero passed on by the people, I believe that your plan this time will definitely succeed. ”

Tianlang knew that Qianqian's speech today was deliberate, and he could only pretend to be stupid, she wanted to make herself feel at ease, why didn't she want her to be at ease.

"Qianqian, this is the most morale-boosting word I've ever heard, and I will bring your encouragement to the battlefield."

"And me." Fang Zhi raised a hand, looked at the two of them shyly and said: "We all believe in our Holy Son of Heaven, the day of restoring the two capitals is not far off, I have noticed when you are making plans recently, we now have 713,300 troops in the northwest and are keeping an eye on Dorgon's main force in Shanxi. South of the Yangtze River, the total strength of our army has also reached 830,000, and if we have to deal with the more than 100,000 horses of Jierharang, we must be victorious.

And these are the most significant effects brought about by my sister's implementation of Juntian and Shiro's reorganization of armaments, I am afraid that the military prestige of my Ming Dynasty is now close to the heyday of the dynasty, of course we will not continue to shrink and be beaten, and take advantage of the time when Dolgon gathers heavy troops to besiege Datong, to break through the defensive circle of Jierharang in Wuchang and Hanyang, it is the right time. ”

Tianlang looked at Qianqian and Fang Zhi with a warm expression and said: "I will try my best to live up to this trust, but I will not lose my cool head, although we have a lot of people, it can be said that more than half of them are rabble, even the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty - the imperial camp, it is still difficult to fight against Jiannu's iron cavalry in the field."

Therefore, it is not the best time to find the main force of the Qing army for a decisive battle, but the reason why I chose this time to attack is not the most thorough preparation, but a bet on the right time and place. ”

"You mean, the current strength of the Qing army still surpasses ours?" Fang Zhi asked with a frown.

"That's right, so we still can't take it lightly." Tianlang nodded.

"But there is one thing I still don't understand, didn't it say that Jiannu only had 120,000 troops when he entered the customs? Why does my Ming Dynasty now have 1.5 million troops, why does the emperor still say that Jiannu is stronger than us? ”

Tianlang broke a willow branch and danced, "The enemy is not only a little stronger than us, you only saw the achievements of our military expansion during this period, but you don't know that according to the intelligence estimate of Jinyiwei, the Qing army has a total of more than 600,000 troops in the three key areas of Shanxi, Huguang and Nanzhili at this time, and their military resources in the rear of Liaodong have not been exhausted.

When they entered the customs, there were as many as 800,000 soldiers and civilians of the Manchu Eight Banners who followed Dolgon and Fulin into Beijing, and they divided the 49 cities into full cities, and the Han people were not allowed to live. ”

Tianlang paused, as if he was also shocked by his own prediction of the enemy, and then continued:

"Although our army is large in number, its quality is uneven, and our army of 1.5 million is almost entirely infantry, and we have a large territory to garrison. Even without these reasons, to assemble all these troops, the logistical supplies required are beyond the current economic situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Besides, will Dorgon wait for us to assemble all our army before fighting us? Even if he could, how could this 1.5 million army be deployed in the same place? There are too many constraints on the environment and logistics, and the construction of slaves is too strong. ”

Qianqian's expression was calm, but Fang Zhi was a little moved, and she asked in a nervous tone: "That Shiro, why do you still have to fight this battle, and according to what you just said, I'm afraid that in the Huguang battlefield, you won't mobilize all the troops of our army in Jiangnan, isn't that too dangerous, I think you should be more cautious, it's better not to go." ”

"Don't worry, the reason why I tell you this is because I believe that even if there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, if we want to fight, our army will win."

The family had a day of fun in the Li River, and before evening, Tianlang and Qianqian, who returned to the palace, came to the husband and wife tree planted by the two of them.

Next to the husband and wife tree, under the rose frame, there is still the swing, the waves of the sky pull the swing, let it shake empty, looking at Qianqian's forced smile throughout the day, it is very distressing, so be it, don't leave before parting.
