Xingqian, this is the name of the Ming Dynasty, although the name of the next year has been passed through the world at this time, but in Shaanxi, the name of the Manchu Dynasty is used here - the second year of Tiancheng.

For the millions of Han people in Shaanxi, compared to the people of Tongguandong, they were still under the enslavement of the Manchus, and the days of slavery in the past, nearly 200,000 Qing captives poured into Shaanxi, almost exhausted the people of Shaanxi, leaving the people here with a heavy burden.

If it weren't for the introduction of potatoes last year, I am afraid that many people would starve to death in the countryside due to excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Sometimes, the world is always so difficult to fathom, the potatoes originally bred in the Qinghe River were to save the people of the north from hunger during this Xiaoice River period, but who would have thought that potatoes would make the Manchu Qing in Lianxi continue to live - compared to millet and sorghum, high-yield potatoes are more suitable for the environment of Shaanxi, and after the people handed over most of the grain to the government, potatoes became the people's life-sustaining rations.

In Shaanxi in the second year of Tiancheng, although the local people lived a life of oppression, compared to some people, they were lucky, at least because of the existence of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty did not dare to kill them as in the past. Just like the women who were captured by the Qing captives in the city, although the appearance of those women is very different from that of the Han people, the sadness between those eyebrows is difficult to hide. They lost their fathers, brothers, and children under the butcher's knives of the Manchus, and were taken into slavery by the Manchus along with their sisters and even their daughters and mothers.

It's just that no one cares what these women think. For the monarchs and ministers of the Qing Dynasty, these women were a tool to appease the morale of the army, and of course, a tool to enable the banner people to reproduce.

"Today's flag is up and down, and it can be so stable, thanks to Mr.'s original plan!"

When facing Wang Huaxing, Xuan Ye, the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, spoke with a little gratitude, just two years ago, he was still facing a threat of life and death - Ao Bai was suddenly assassinated, although he saw the hope of taking power, but then there was an unprecedented crisis - Ao Bai's brother has a high prestige in the army, and he has an army of 100,000 under his command, what if Zhuo Butai leads the troops to call?

At the time of crisis, it was Wang Huaxing in front of him who came forward to resolve all this, although the assassination of Aobai was all pushed to the Ming people, temporarily appeased Zhuo Butai, but in the end it was Wang Huaxing's move to "kidnap people as slaves" that made the Eight Banners stable, of course, the captives were all women, that is, those women who were captured, so that the original restless military experience has been appeased, of course, the most gratifying thing is that now the Eight Banners have added tens of thousands of new Dingkou, although they are just babies, but more than ten years later, There must be another group of brave soldiers. For the sparsely populated Eight Banners, population growth is the future.

"It's all the emperor's wisdom."

Glancing at the young man in front of him with a smile, Wang Huaxing continued.

"If the emperor doesn't adopt it, I'm afraid it won't be of any use."

Wang Huaxing then laughed again.

"In this way, the elder of your family should be important ministers in the court, otherwise, how could his suggestion be adopted by the emperor."

Although he said this in his mouth, looking at the young man, his eyes seemed to be smiling.

Since he met this teenager two years ago, he has vaguely guessed the identity of the other party, but because the other party has never admitted it, he has not exposed all this, but just as a friend, he has given advice to him.

At this time, Xuan Ye still looked calm, he didn't know that his identity had been seen through at all, so he asked with a smile.

"The student heard that the Ming Dynasty once again refused to call me a vassal of the Qing Dynasty, in the opinion of Mr., is it true that my Qing Dynasty has only one way to go west?"

Last year, Xuan Ye had already worshiped Wang Huaxing's teacher, although Wang Huaxing was only thirty years old, but in Xuan Ye's opinion, he was a very talented person, if it wasn't for his guidance, how could he easily resolve several crises, and even now the auxiliary ministers no longer dare to act arbitrarily as in the past.

"But if I'm not mistaken, this plan to go west was decided by Hong Chengchou!"

Picked up the teacup and took a sip, and after Xuan Ye nodded yes, Wang Huaxing said.

"That is the case, that must be the only choice, after all, the reason why Hong Chengchou made this idea, I am afraid is also because he knows that for the Ming Dynasty, Shaanxi is a place that will be recovered, and no matter what, it will not tolerate the Qing Dynasty to support Shaanxi, so the Qing Dynasty can only take advantage of the fact that the Ming Dynasty has not yet used troops in Shaanxi, and move to the Western Regions as soon as possible, instead of sitting back and waiting for Shaanxi to die."

Wang Huaxing's words made Xuan Ye's heart tighten, he naturally knew that the reason why the Ming Dynasty did not use troops in Shaanxi in the past two years was not because of their lack of strength, but because the Ming Dynasty needed to recuperate, and now the Ming Dynasty is accumulating strength, once the time is ripe, they will definitely use troops in Shaanxi, how many years is this opportunity?

Two years?

Three years? Or is it more......

Xuan Ye, who was thoughtful, asked.

"So in Mr.'s opinion, when will the Ming Dynasty use troops in Shaanxi?"

Now there is no dispute about whether the Ming Dynasty will use troops in Shaanxi, everyone knows that this Shaanxi is not a place for a long time, but no one wants to leave, after all, no one knows what it will be like when they go to the Western Regions. Even there, whether there is someone to support is also a problem, of course, even now, the Eight Banners are not like the past do not do anything to produce, but in Shaanxi Tuntian, fortunately, now most of the Ding Zhuang in the banner are born in the coating, will be farming, last year reclaimed millions of acres of barren land, but also let them have no worries about food and clothing, but rations are worry-free, does not mean that the Qing Dynasty can sit back and relax.

Shaanxi can't stay, the Western Regions, to the Western Regions, without the Han people's land taxes, how to maintain, Tuntian can be solved for a while, but how is this Tuntian a long-term solution? Besides, judging from the history books, the Western Regions is not a good place!

"It shouldn't be long."

"Oh? Why did you say that, sir? What did you hear, sir? ”

Wang Huaxing looked at Xuan Ye and smiled.

"You don't need to hear anything, you just have to read the newspaper. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty last year, why was the new monarch of the Ming Dynasty reluctant to go west? It's not that he doesn't want to, but because he can't, although Min Zheng has all belonged to him at that time, but among Min Zheng, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, plus the powerful people in Min Zheng's mansion, how can these people be appeased? There is also Li Dingguo in Guangdong, and even Li Laiheng in Chongqing, these people, he has to find a way to solve them, if these problems are not solved, he rashly uses troops in Shaanxi, in case the army is defeated, what is the possibility? ”

Mingzhu saw that Wang Huaxing was talking about it, so he poured him a cup of tea on the side, and then interjected in the air.

"You mean, the Ming Dynasty wants to pacify the country first, and then use troops in the Western Regions?"

This is not a new thing, the pearl next to the emperor naturally knows that now the Ming Dynasty is also full of internal troubles, Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng are all internal troubles in the Ming Dynasty.

"Although Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng have already been declared ministers, how dare they leave Guangzhou and Chongqing easily? Don't forget, Hong Shiming, how they died! ”

When mentioning the "accident" of Hong Shiming and others, the corners of Wang Huaxing's lips raised slightly, and then said.

"Hong Shiming and others sailed to the lake, and the boat sank and died, although it was an accident, but how could there be an accident in the world where no one lived?"

Shaking his head and sighing lightly, Wang Huaxing continued.

"Emperor Xingqian of the Ming Dynasty will never allow them to live until they reach the capital, once Hong Shiming and them die, what will happen to Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng? Others don't say it, Li Laiheng is Li Zicheng's nephew, how did Emperor Chongzhen die? Emperor Xingqian is Chongzhen's son! ”

Wang Huaxing's words made Xuan Ye nod his head thoughtfully.

"Li Laiheng didn't dare to leave Chongqing, what about Li Dingguo? How dare he leave Guangzhou? How could the two of them surrender their military power? If he surrenders his military power, will he also die unexpectedly in the shipwreck? ”

When mentioning the "shipwreck", Wang Huaxing naturally thought of another person.

"When Zhu Yuanzhang sent Liao Yongzhong to pick up Han Lin'er, Han Lin'er also died inexplicably due to the shipwreck, and Hong Shiming and others did the same, so they naturally didn't dare to hand over the military power.

"So what does Mr. mean that the Ming Dynasty must have gotten rid of the two Lis?"

"It must be!"

"How long can those two Li resist?"

"One place against another? How don't the two Li know their own strength? Thinking about it, Liang Li will definitely enter the court in the end. Once Li Dingguo enters the court, Li Laiheng will be unable to support it alone, as for Li Dingguo...... Come to think of it, Emperor Xingqian will always spare his life. ”

"The day when the two Li entered the dynasty was the time when the Ming army marched westward."

Xuan Ye let out a long sigh, and his expression was full of solemnity that was not similar to his age.

"So how long is it going to be in my opinion, sir?"

"Two years at most, within a year soon!"

Wang Huaxing's answer made Xuan Ye sit there silently, a year, two years, for the Great Qing Kingdom, it seems that there is not much time. If you don't go west, I'm afraid that the Qing Kingdom won't even have the opportunity to go west.

"But, sir, even if the Qing Dynasty retreats to the Western Regions, what if the Ming army pursues it relentlessly?"

Glancing up at Xuan Ye, Wang Huaxing asked rhetorically.

"The Western Regions are still no less than 5,000 miles away from Xi'an, so far away, even if it is an expedition of laborers, what is there to fear?"

Wang Huaxing's rhetorical question made Xuan Ye silent for a moment, although Wang Huaxing's words did have some truth, but Xuan Ye still spoke after pondering for a while.

"Sir, the student learned at home a few days ago that the Ming Dynasty has built an "iron road", and the "iron road" only needs to count horses, which can pull tens of thousands of catties of goods. ”

As the emperor, Xuan Ye naturally knew more than Wang Huaxing, and as soon as the "railway" was built, he already knew about it, and naturally knew the threat to the Qing Dynasty.

"Gather Kyushu iron all the way, how much money does it cost to cast the smoke in the furnace?"

After saying such a poem he saw in the newspaper, Wang Huaxing asked rhetorically.

"Five or six thousand miles to the Western Regions, I'm afraid that all the iron in the world will not be able to build such a railway, so what's the trouble?"

For this verse,
