Chapter 873: The General Trend of the World

Xu Changqing is not worried that the Great Western Army will not be trapped.

If it is on the side of Da Shun Jun and Li Zicheng, this kind of deal may not be easy to discuss, because the composition of Da Shun is more complicated.

Li Zicheng's authority may not be too much of a problem at this time, but he has more things to consider.

There was no such obstacle in the Great Western Army.

They are basically very small, and the core is basically Zhang Xianzhong's godson, and Zhang Xianzhong's words are not difficult at all.

Speaking of which.

Li Zicheng may be more open-minded, ambitious, and quite heroic, but in some specific details, especially the art of knowing people, he is really not as good as Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong's godsons, any one of them is a masterpiece in the world.

On the other hand, on the side of the Dashun Army, except for Liu Zongmin and a few of the old people, the younger generation, the successor is quite weak, even if the doll camp is well cared for, but after all, there are not a few 'Monkey Kings'.

Even Li Laiheng, compared to it, there is a certain gap with Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and others.

This kind of precious opportunity that can directly strengthen one's own strength, and even improve one's basic base and covet more things, whether it is Zhang Xianzhong or his godsons, it is difficult to refuse.

……

The next morning, before Xu Changqing had finished meeting with Wang Si and explaining to Wang Si the details of the arms sold by the White Model Army, Pan Duao and Li Laiheng sent the news that they agreed to Xu Changqing's plan, but they only hoped to discuss the price again.

Xu Changqing did not shy away from Wang Si about this, Wang Si was stunned when he looked at it, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet for a while.

What do you mean?

Xu Changqing, when did he hook up with Zhang Xianzhong, this is ......

"Hehe, Fourth Master, you don't need to be too nervous, that's roughly what it means. You can go back to the Yongchang Emperor, I, Xu Changqing, will be in Haicheng, waiting for the good news of the Yongchang Emperor. ”

“…… It's ......"

Sending away the almost robot-like Wang Si, Xu Changqing stood up, stretched comfortably, and looked at the huge map of the world.

This map is a brand new one, which has been supplemented by the masters brought by Zheng Zhilong, including not only the Ming Dynasty, Nuer Gandusi, and the Siberian region, but also many areas of the South Seas.

At first glance, this already has a bit of a world map of later generations.

Xu Changqing lit a bag of cigarettes and examined it carefully.

At this time, the world looks quite chaotic and mixed, but if you really look closely, many things are actually clear.

Even if there are still many remnants of the Exile Army, whether it is Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, the current state has basically lost the momentum of competing for the deer, and the whole world is still a bilateral competition between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty.

At this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty seemed to occupy the most land, dominating the Mongolian steppes, and occupying the Beijing Division, and sitting on a lot of fat, but this thing is a little unbearable to look closely.

The Mongolian steppe is indeed fertile, but the population is withering, and what the Manchus can really control is Horqin and the surrounding areas.

Although Lin Dan Khan's vein has been fighting the streets for many years at this time, it has basically been swallowed up by the Qing Dynasty, but they have not really controlled the vein of Altan Khan.

The 'King of Shunyi' Bu Lostu and his son Omubu are not very useful even if they are not very popular, but they are blessed by the ancestors, and they still have extensive influence in the Chahar grassland and the surrounding areas.

In addition, the Three Jin Dynasty and Qinchuan Prefectures seem to have been pacified by the Great Qing Dynasty and are in the bag, but it is much more complicated.

Except for those real Manchurian and Han iron crops, who, who will really work for the Qing Dynasty?

At this time, the Great Qing Kingdom is hanging with the breath that several generations have accumulated over the years.

As long as they break this breath, the Great Qing Kingdom will be over.

At this time, Xu Changqing actually had the strength to challenge them, and he was really on the frontal battlefield to have a life-and-death duel with the elite of the Eight Banners, but he was still a little anxious and not very safe.

"Whew."

With a long exhale, Xu Changqing forced himself to retract his coveting of the Great Qing Kingdom and instead converge on the realization of other places.

At this time, the world can basically be divided into several regions, or rather, several forces.

The first to bear the brunt is Xu Changqing's Haicheng and Shandong regions.

Xu Changqing's initial military position was the chief military officer of the Shandong Left Association, which only included two or three small counties such as Haicheng and the surrounding Zhanhua and Lijin.

And these small counties are not directly controlled by Xu Changqing, Xu Changqing can only occupy the corners of them, and he has to be constrained by them.

However, at this time, the actual control scope of the model army has steadily encompassed the entire Shandong Peninsula region, and with Haicheng as the center, it has extended all the way to Dezhou, Linqing, and even the Daimyo Mansion and Puyang line.

On Lunan's side, although Xu Changqing didn't really control it, it was almost there.

It can be said that in addition to the two giant beasts of the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Xu Changqing is like the number three!

Further west from the area controlled by the Model Army is the Kaifeng area.

Although Kaifeng was still nominally under the control of the Ming Dynasty at this time, with the wise retreat of Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, to the area controlled by the model army, the surrounding area of Kaifeng was almost dead.

Further west, there is the sphere of influence of the two green flags.

Kong Youde in Luoyang, Wu Sangui in the river.

However, in the western and southwestern parts of Luoyang, including the eastern, northeastern, and southeastern intervals of Hejian, there are still many local gentry forces who are interested in the Ming Dynasty, and they are all landlords who have been recognized and supported by Xu Changqing.

The distribution of the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan is no longer detailed, it is basically the world of Wu Sangui and Bai Guangen, and Tang Tong also occupies a small category.

The Ningxia region, further west from Qinchuan, is quite complicated.

Strictly speaking, this is still a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, even if the Ming Dynasty's food and salary have long been unable to be paid.

There are more than a dozen old generals of the Ming Dynasty such as fierce tigers, Li Guodong, and Gao Jie.

Don't underestimate their small number of people, they are also scattered at this time, and there will often be fights, but their core strength has not been damaged much in a series of previous wars, and their strength and combat effectiveness are not weak.

Therefore, even though Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen and others have coveted Ningxia for a long time, they have never dared to act rashly.

Qinchuan is a demarcation point, to the south, you will reach Shudi, which is the territory of the thief Zhang Xianzhong.

But at this time, Zhang Xianzhong only occupied a part of central Shu and northern Shu.

The south and west of Shu were still firmly in the hands of the Tusi leaders of the tribes at this time, and because of many reasons such as terrain and ethnicity, Zhang Xianzhong did not dare to provoke them easily.

From Shu to the east, the area at the junction of Huguang and Shu, to be precise, is the surrounding area of Wushan and Bazhong, which is now the territory of 'Cao Cao' Luo Rucai and Gezuo Wuying He Yilong.

Although this area is small and the economy and production are relatively backward, like Ningxia, Luo Rucai, He Yilong and others have not suffered real heavy losses, and the main force still exists, and they all have a certain strength.

It's just that the surrounding areas have already been occupied, and they seriously lack opportunities for development, but they can't break through this shackle for a while.

Further east and north of Bazhong, we will reach the most complex area at this time.

The Ming court, Wu Sangui's department, and Bai Guangen's department may soon add two green flags, as well as a part of the True Manchurian Eight Banners, plus Li Zicheng's place where the Great Shun Kingdom gathers.

Li Zicheng occupied Xiangyang, Yunyang and seven or eight surrounding counties at this time, and the territory must not be comparable to before, but after all, the Dashun Army is the orthodoxy of the Wandering Army, whether it is the skeleton or talent, it is still the top, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of elites, it is estimated that there are 100,000 combatable soldiers.

It's definitely a force that still has a certain competitiveness.

Wuchang is Zuo Liangyu's territory.

However, Xu Changqing has just received the news that Zuo Liangyu does not seem to be in good health recently, and there may be big fluctuations.

Although Zuo Liangyu's inheritance has long been clear, and the young marshal Zuo Mengeng can take over smoothly, Zuo Mengeng and Zuo Liangyu are not at the same level.

Coupled with the existence of Zuo Mengmei, Xu Changqing can talk to Zuo Mengeng or Zuo Mengmei's biological father Qiu Lei.

Further down, Jiujiang is He Tengjiao's territory, and it is no longer detailed.

Even if He Tengjiao is selfish, he is a person from the court after all, and he is a civil servant, if he loses the support of the court, his background cannot afford too much, plus his personality, character, etc., he will never easily betray the court.

Of course, small moths are definitely indispensable.

Counting further, it will only be the Zheng family in the southeast in midsummer.

But the Zheng family's situation is a bit special, it can be regarded as a huge force, but it can't be counted if you calculate it carefully......

The core interests of their old nest are still in the areas of Anping, Quanzhou, Jin, and Xia, and the influence of other regions is more just vain.

Before they really stepped onto the stage of history and participated in the competition, they had already been pulled and pulled by Xu Changqing, and it was a bit untidy and messy.

The core reason for this is that Brother Yiguan and Xu Changqing's uncle Zheng Sen have not yet successfully taken over the baton!

At this time, Zheng Sen is not the one who has no way out in history, and he must lay down the national surname of the Taiwan Strait.

This means that there is too much room for manipulation inside.

Looking at the huge map and looking at the various forces, Xu Changqing personally pasted small flags one by one, including Jiang Xiang in Datong, and several toasts in the southwest were no exception.

Soon, the huge map was pasted with flowers, and a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Changqing's mouth.

He really wanted to say, "Everyone here is a younger brother. ”

But before the thing was done, even in his own private space, Xu Changqing didn't want to put this kind of nonsense.

Instead, Xu Changqing looked at Nanyang again.

The situation in Nanyang......

Xu Changqing didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time it was mostly the territory of the Spaniards and the Dutch, but the Portuguese, especially the Eagle Nation, had begun to infiltrate this side.

Actually, if you really want to talk about it, whether it's a Spanish or a Dutch, it's a fucking rookie, what a thing.

Whether it is the Dutch or the Spaniards, they can barely mix with a second-rate country in Europe, especially the Dutch, the land of the projectile, why do you occupy dozens of times the rich land of your own country, and enslave dozens or hundreds of times the huge indigenous and Han immigrants?

Later, in the two world wars, these two countries didn't even dare to let out a fart, and they didn't show any fighting attributes at all.

It's not the same as Switzerland.

Back then, he was an invincible mustache, why didn't he dare to attack Switzerland?

There are no resources in Switzerland, the terrain is mountainous, and there are many dangers, but more importantly, all the people of Switzerland are soldiers!

500,000 troops were mobilized in a few days, and at critical times, women were able to go into battle with guns!

Even the mustache can only give up.

Conversely, what are the Dutch and Spaniards doing?

It's simply indescribable......

In addition to kneeling. Lick the big guys, is there any other way?

By this time, the Spaniards had already lost the Anglo-Spanish naval battle, and the decline was already beginning to manifest.

But the Dutch are a bit tricky!

As the trendsetter of the Age of Discovery, the Dutch were at their peak at this time, and in today's world, the Dutch trade volume accounts for almost half of the world.

How horrible is that?

In fact, the people of the Eagle Country have already looked at the Netherlands very unpleasantly, and there are many direct conflicts of interest, but at this time, the Industrial Revolution has not broken out in the Eagle Country, and even if the sun never sets on the empire in the future, it can only succumb to and endure the snort of the Dutch.

Later, even the Eagle Country people fought with the Dutch for nearly a hundred years, which completely knocked down the momentum of the Dutch.

However, when it comes to Nanyang, the account cannot be calculated in this way.

The Dutch were indeed strong at this time, but they were high-minded and high-spirited, and their goal was the whole world, and there were really few troops in the South Seas.

At this time, the model army of the navy must not be tough with the Dutch, but as long as they can pass a part of the army and make adequate preparations, Xu Changqing has ample confidence and teaches them how to behave.
