Clouds of white gas rose into the air and quickly dissipated, making the light in the room more and more dim and dark. The oil lamp www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion was shrouded in a hazy halo.

This is not a bathhouse or a bun shop, but a study room in Wuxing in Linyi City.

Seeing Wu Xing's non-stop pen walking dragon snake, a piece of paper was full of words, Jing Shenhong, who was waiting for the prince on the side, hurriedly took the stove, and at the same time said angrily: "Master, why are you suffering?" Whether it's Li Zicheng in the west, Lu Mahong in the north, or Li Shouhan in the south, they all want to use you, but you light the lamp and boil oil to think about them, what's the trouble? ”

Wu Xing warmed his hands while holding the stove, rubbed his hands a few more times, and then said, "What do you know?" What is Politics? Politics is about making more of one's own people and fewer of its enemies. And what is one's own person? For the time being, those who have a common goal are their own people. Li Zicheng and Li Shouhan Lu Ma Hong are indeed ghosts, but I am the same Chinese son and daughter as them, and now the East occupies the Beijing Division, and Shenzhou is in danger of land sinking, even if I want to save, but the soldiers and horses are only thousands, and the generals and leading the army are also very lacking, how to save? Could it be that if I blow my breath now, I will blow hundreds of thousands of Qing troops into the sky? ”

Jing Shenhong was not convinced, she said: "Don't you still have the Qin Law School and those female students, in addition, since defeating Song Huxing, the major families have also begun to send eldest men to study in the Qin Law School, with this foundation, what are you afraid of?" ”

Wu Xing smiled helplessly and said, "You, no wonder there is such a saying, which makes women have long hair and short knowledge." Yes, these things are very important, and the Qin Law School is also my foundation. However, you also know that I copied this Qin Law Hall from the Li family. The Li family can have today's strength, which is only because of Li Shouhan's decades of intensive cultivation day and night! Qin Law School, officials to the countryside, these are all good things, good means. With these systems, you can mobilize all your forces and sweep Liuhe, just like the Qin State did back then! However, these things are only seeds, and it takes time for seeds to be sown, germinated, grown, and harvested, and it takes time for these systems to work. How many years has the Li family been working in Nanzhong? How long have we been? To put it bluntly, if these systems want to see results, one year or two is too short, and ten or eight years is not long. But how can I have so much time to run Yimeng Mountain safely? If you don't do something quickly, I'm afraid that in a few months, Zhang Linghu and Wu Fengxian will go into the mountains to exterminate me, a bandit. ”

This is not Wu Xing's alarmism. Since Zhang Linghu and Wu Fengxian launched a rebellion in Jinan and took the lead in rebelling against the water, the gentry, officials, and local tyrants from all over Shandong have risen up to respond. In a short period of more than a month, the two of them took the regimental training, horse thieves, poles, and Ming troops of various departments into their command by means of arresting Dinglaf and recruiting rebels, and quickly swelled from a team of more than 10,000 people in two brigades to a strength of more than 80,000 people and more than 10,000 mules and horses. Externally, it claims to have 200,000 troops.

With soldiers and horses, the territory will naturally be expanded. The two expanded to Jinan and Changqing as the center, and soon expanded their influence to several surrounding state capitals, and faintly included most of Shandong. (The Shandong mentioned here is the Shandong of the Ming Dynasty, excluding the area of the current Jiaodong Peninsula, which is the so-called Denglai area.) In the Ming Dynasty, the Denglai region and Shandong were two regions side by side, each with the jurisdiction of the governor. Inadvertently, the soldiers and horses of Zhang Linghu and Wu Fengxian had already reached the border of Shandong and opened up contact with the Qing army led by Duoduo, Azig, and Hong Chengchou!

Jing Shenhong still wanted to refute, but Wu Xing was impatient, he said: "Okay, let's talk about these things later, you go and call He Fengshan, I have written a total of three copies of Ping Qingce, and I want to send them to Li Zicheng, Lu Mahong and Li Shouhan respectively." In addition, you can tell him that it doesn't matter if you send it wrong, just send it. Anyway, although it is slightly different, this is a clear policy, and the basic content is almost the same. ”

"Oh?" Jing Shenhong became curious, and she asked, "Master, then what did you write this Ping Qingce?" Can you tell me about it? Wu Xing smiled and said: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't talk to you about military affairs, but Ping Qingce doesn't have anything to keep secret, so it's okay to talk about it." As the name suggests, the so-called Pingqing strategy is how to deal with the strategy of anti-thieves in Liaodong. First of all, I declare to these three that if only the combined strength of the three of them is counted, it is far superior to the Liao thieves, who have no hope of victory. ”

"That's not right, the current situation on the battlefield, Li Zicheng in the west was defeated by Wu Sangui and Aobai, and it seems that Shaanxi and Henan will not be able to keep it. Luma in the north is red-bellied and is also retreating and preparing to retreat to Weixian, relying on Denglai's nest to seek respite. Although Li Shouhan in Jiangnan was not defeated, there was no movement for the time being, what kind of victory is this? ”

Seeing that Jing Shenhong still didn't understand much, Wu Xing continued to explain: "So, you women really have long hair and short knowledge. The specific arrangement is that at present, since Henan is also like Shanxi, there are many rebels and rebels, so he simply persuaded Li Zicheng to abandon those unstable prefectures and counties, quickly concentrate forces, shorten the defense line, and strive to hold Shaanxi, and at the same time send a preferably Luo Hu to run Xiangfan and hold the granary of the Jianghan Plain. Since the Luma Red Department can no longer hold Shandong, then simply go all out to the east, consolidate the connection with the Dengzhou Xu Yuansong Department, and strive to hold the Denglai point, you don't know the combat characteristics of the Nanyue Army, as long as they hold the seaside, it will be as if there is an umbilical cord with the fundamental land of Nanzhong, food, military salaries, equipment, soldiers, will be transported in a steady stream from the East China Sea! What's more, the Li family father and son, Li Huayu and his wife in the Denglai area have been operating for many years, and there are a large number of granges, and the granges are in the field of soldiers, and the soldiers and horses are mobilized, and there are tens of thousands! I plan to ask her to allow a part of the watch team to carry supplies into the Yimeng Mountain area, and prepare to use Yimeng Mountain as the base place to make a long-term plan. As for Li Shouhan, he should first stabilize the Huai River defense line, and at the same time build a castle defense line in Jiangxi Fujian in case of emergency. If the higher goals of the three sides can be achieved, then a quick victory can be achieved, and if not, then this war can only be a protracted war. Whether it is them or us, we can only choose to squeeze the war capability of the area under our control to the limit, fight with the Liao thieves to the last breath, and see who can survive whom. However, I believe that Li Zicheng and Li Shouhan's body bones are very good, and they can survive better than the little cub emperor of the Liao thief. ”

"Boil?" Jing Shenhong was a little puzzled by her master's suggestion, she looked at Wu Xing in surprise, trying to get an answer from him.

"It's no wonder. Although you read a lot of books on weekdays, they are all rote memorization and paper talk, and when it comes to practical use, even half of it is worthless. If such a thing as reading and learning cannot be combined with practical application, it is a salted fish. ”

"The master taught me a lesson." When Jing Shenhong debates in the Qin Law School on weekdays, she is also a character who has no eyes to spare, his mouth is like a river, and he quotes scriptures, and his words and demeanors are all "You don't understand anything, you are just a group of stupid 13" energy. Although he was quite dissatisfied with Wu Xing's words in his heart, firstly, Wu Xing was his own master, and his identity was just his concubine, and secondly, Wu Xing was the founder of the Qin Law School and the teacher. These two identities made Jing Shenhong dare not speak more.

"It's no wonder. As soon as you come out, you are in the army of the kings. There was no direct contact with the Nanyue Army. Naturally, I don't have a good understanding of the situation in Nanzhong. You must know that since ancient times, fighting has been fought by armies, soldiers and horses, and the tactics and strategies of generals on both sides. However, in fact, they fought with their own heritage, money and food, and soldiers' supplies. ”

"Our school is called the Qin Law School. Why was Great Qin able to sweep the six countries of Kwantung back then? It relied on the continuous supply of grain provided by Guanzhong and Chengdu, the two countries of abundance, for the Qin State. Only when you have food can you feed a large number of soldiers and can afford to supply a large army to fight. ”

"When I was under the command of Grand Prince Li, I had contacts with many of his officers and soldiers, and I gathered a lot of useful things from their daily conversations and correspondence at home. Although they are all just a few words, when they are gathered, they can outline the corner of Nanzhong's strength! ”

"Master, are these things reliable? What if it's a fake news that they put out on purpose? In addition to being blind, another characteristic of Jing Crimson is suspiciousness. It has always been believed that people all over the world are not only stupid13, but also liars. She almost instinctively thought that the information that the old man Wu Xing had collected when he was under Li Huayu of the Nanyue Army was like a letter stolen by Jiang Gan from Zhou Yu, and it was fake news.

Wu Xing was also a little angry. He was naturally very clear about these flaws in the personality and daily life of this concubine, and he took out a book from the protective book he carried at any time and threw it in front of Jing Crimson.

"See for yourself!"

The content and form of this book are very peculiar. A diary is not a diary, and a conversation record is not a conversation record.

Jing Crimson casually flipped through a page, and there were several records in it, and it could be seen from the shade of ink that it had been recorded over a period of time. Each record has details such as time, object, etc. The content is basically the content of the conversation with the other party, or the information obtained by Wu Xing listening to the chat of several people and going back to sort it out.

The content covers a wide range and is extremely complex. From the variety of grain and harvest, to the lack of food for the night meal in the workshop, the chickens and ducks at home were taken away by wild cats, and the family's fields are harvesting season again, but the farming team does not know when it will be their turn, and the buffalo will be ploughed in the paddy fields through the nose ring, etc. The geography involved is also extremely complex.

"There is a map of Nanzhong in the camp office in front of me, and the names of places involved in this booklet can be found on the map. I have quietly summarized it. When I was under the command of Prince Li, Nanzhong already had at least tens of millions of hectares of fertile land, and the grain that could be harvested every year was enough to feed millions of soldiers and horses. With grain, Nanzhong will have dozens of furnaces of various sizes with a monthly output of millions of catties of steel, and countless armor weapons will be created from these steels! ”

"On the other hand, in the Central Plains, floods and droughts have been repeated in recent years, and there have been many wars and disasters, and there have been grain harvests everywhere. Coupled with the fact that Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, and Shaanxi are all battlefields until the Jianghan Huai River, how can you find food to feed the army? The army must not only eat, but also clothe. Where do you find cotton cloth? To put it mildly, even us, the Liao thieves and the Dashun army in Jiangbei have no choice but to ask the Li family for purchase. Only Luma Hong, there is a grange on the ground of Denglai, and in addition to grain, cotton is planted in the grange! That's why I asked the young lady to quickly lead the troops eastward and defend the important land of Denglai! ”

Jing Shenhong pondered for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly realized: "Husband, you are so powerful, you can actually find such a good reason to expand your power." The prefectures and counties around us are all richer than Yimeng, and if the watch team can bring supplies, then our strength can definitely expand rapidly. ”

Wu Xing smiled: "This is not the primary purpose, but it's not a good thing to hit the rabbit with grass." ”

The three copies of Ping Qingce were sent to Li Zicheng, the Emperor of Yongchang of Dashun, Li Shouhan, the Duke of Liang Guogong of the Ming Dynasty, and Lu Mahong, who led the whole army for Li Huayu at the fastest speed.

Although all parties had different views, this policy also played a considerable role in the subsequent development of the situation.

However, only Li Shouhan, after reading this peaceful and clear policy, thought about two things other than the war. The first thing is to breathe a sigh of relief, although Grandpa Tai has great powers, but now there are plagiarists in this time and space who are better than me, and if you want to collect copyrights, you have to find Wu Xing first. The second thing is the post-war problem. Although the path to victory is divided into quick victory and protracted battle, in the final analysis, it is our side that wins. Now that the victory is decided, it is time to think about how to divide the fruits of victory after the war.

Li Zicheng's Dashun Army, Li Shouhan's Nanzhong Group, Nanyue Army, and the Ming Dynasty must definitely share a share, the difference is only how much to divide and how to divide this cake. From the current point of view, the Nanzhong Group only needs to ensure the commercial interests and the implementation of the new policy, so the rest is how to maintain the authority of the new Hongguang government.

Li Zicheng's Dashun army will be an opponent sooner or later, and he and the Nanyue army will inevitably meet again on the issue of who is orthodox after pacifying the Liao thieves.

How to make the Ming Dynasty orthodox, so that Li Zicheng's Dashun and Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi had to serve the Ming Dynasty as the orthodox, this problem is in front of Li Shouhan.

Historically, after Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong passed away one after another, their subordinates all chose the path of cooperation with various regimes in the Ming Dynasty, and used their military strength to combine their military strength with the righteous name of the Tang and Gui regimes to carry out the struggle against the Qing Dynasty.

However, after all, that is the history that Li Shouhan knows. It's very different from the current situation.

The cooperation between the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army and the Tang Wang, King Gui and others was also established under the pressure of the Qing army, the situation was urgent, and the situation was aggressive, and both of them lost their leaders, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong passed away one after another, so that the Dashun and Daxi families had no leaders who could command the whole army. Therefore, in order to survive his own family, he must also cooperate with the remnants of the Ming Dynasty. This is the unanimous view of the people of the Great Shun Army and the Great Western Army.

However, in the current situation, Li Zicheng has hundreds of thousands of troops in Henan, and generals such as Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Hao Shaoqi, Zhang Nai, and Luo Hu are engaged in battles with Wu Sangui, and both sides have their own victories and defeats. Although the officials and gentry in various places have turned against the water, and the Dashun army has retreated step by step, in the eyes of Li Zicheng and the generals of the Dashun army, as long as the old capital is there, the basic market is not lost, what is the loss of some prefectures and counties? And Zhang Xianzhong, who is far away in Sichuan, is even more powerful.

Zeng Ying in eastern Sichuan and Yang Zhan in southern Sichuan rose up and counterattacked under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, Ping Kobo Zeng Ying occupied Chongqing, sent Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai to garrison Kuizhou and Wanxian, and sent Xiong Yourui and Feng Youqing to garrison Shunqing; The deputy general Yang Zhan occupied the areas of Jiading, Xuzhou, and Qiongzhou in southern Sichuan; General Cao Xun was stationed in Lizhou and Yazhou; Chen Tiejiao was stationed in Meizhou; Wang Xiang was stationed in Zunyi; Governor Ma Gan entered Hezhou; Governor Fan Yixuan moved to Naxi and dispatched in the center; Wang Yingxiong, a university scholar, was in Zunyi to spread the Ming army, and he advanced at the same time.

Under the separate supervision of Zhang Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan, Zhang Wenxiu, and Ma Yuanli, they collapsed at the first touch. The Great Western Army recaptured the above-mentioned areas and opened up the Yangtze River shipping route.

"Donkey balls! With the Yangtze River, the gold and silver treasures we have obtained from Lao Tzu's killing along the way can be exchanged for armor, knives and guns, and we will go to war! ”

And Zhang Kewang, the head of his four adopted sons, Pingdong General, even advocated: lightly punish the meager endowment and stop killing with grace. Build Sichuan into its own fundamental place.

"Although the people of Shu are fierce and ungrateful, in fact, it is because of the shallow establishment of the Western Dynasty, the unfinished kindness and righteousness, and the Shu people are afraid of alienation, so they have two hearts. Sichuan Minyin is rich in the country, fertile for thousands of miles, Jingchu in the east, Han Chu in the north, Qutang is dangerous, the sword pavilion is magnificent, it is the real area of the shape of victory, the land of the king. The minister is afraid that he will abandon it today like a clog, and he will take it like ascending to the sky in the future. At present, the top priority should be to lightly punish the meager endowment, stop the killing with grace, issue a new policy, change the beginning with the people, stabilize the foundation, and develop slowly. ”

The Great Western Army adopted the strategy of burying oneself in farming in Sichuan, relying on the terrain and natural hazards, and it was very difficult for any external force to enter Sichuan. It is just the right time window to take advantage of the development of life and consolidate the fruits of your victory.

As a result, in Sichuan, except for the white pole soldiers of Qin Liangyu's headquarters on the ground in Zhongzhou, there was no Ming army that had become a large-scale climate. On the Yangtze River, large and small fleets slipped down, carrying gold and silver goods and pig bristles, tung oil and other materials produced in Sichuan, and upstream, all kinds of weapons and armor, gunpowder and firearms, grain, oil and cloth, iron plowshares, hoes and other agricultural tools.

These farm tools, as the favor of Emperor Onishi, were distributed to the people in the villages of various prefectures and counties, and they were ordered to cultivate well.

In this way, how can Dashun and Daxi be regarded as the right Shuo?
