Chapter 178 Vested Long, Recovering Shu

Zheng Lian stepped forward to take these letters from Ding Chukui. Zhang Xuan took it and looked at it, there were more than 100 letters in a thick stack, and none of them were sealed. The envelopes are all open. It is convenient for Zhang Xuan to view.

Zhang Xuan took it and wanted to open it to take a look, but suddenly he thought about it, what could he do? His knowledge of the officials of the prefectures and counties in western Guangdong was limited to the names of the people, and some of the resumes were only written on paper, which was still the information that Hu Tang collected along the way from Guilin to Guangzhou.

As for the more detailed ones.

Sorry, not at all.

Zhang Xuan's manpower for Hu Tang is only a few hundred, don't think of the intelligence agencies of this era as high-minded.

I don't know anything about these people's distant relatives with Ding Chukui, and even grievances and hatreds.

Even if you read these letters, they will not be of any use. Thinking about it, Ding Chukui already wanted Zhaoqing City to be dedicated to Daxia as a vote. There will be no unfavorable content written in these letters, at least Guilin has not yet had the courage to use Zhaoqing City as bait. Let Ding Chukui be the between.

Zhang Xuan's mind was in a hurry, and the hand that originally wanted to open the envelope gently patted on the envelope, and said: "I am naturally the letter Mr. Ding, Zheng Lian, go down and seal the fire paint, and send it out quickly." Remember to send more cavalry, and let the cities in western Guangdong take a look at the power of my Great Xia Iron Cavalry. ”

"Yes." Zheng Lian said immediately. Then he slowly retreated, turned around and went down to do something.

"The general is wise." Ding Chukui said: "Since the fall of Yilongwu, Shaowu and Yongli have competed, and the counties of western Guangdong do not belong to each other, or it can be said that the two belong to each other. The officials of the prefectures and counties were in fear for many days, not knowing that they were attacking from all over the place, and thieves were surging everywhere. You can only guard the city. Outside the city is no longer in control. The subordinates wrote a letter to appease, but it was Huairou. The general came to his troops. It's a demonstration. With such a two-pronged approach, all prefectures and counties will inevitably surrender. ”

Zhang Xuan was not stunned by Ding Chukui's horse, and smiled lightly, but it was not good to save Ding Chukui's face, and said: "If this is really the case, Lord Ding's contribution is the most." I don't dare to say that a squire will be waiting for a vacant position. ”

Zhang Xuan's promise is not small.

The Great Xia system, the six books and cabinet scholars. Become a member of the Emperor's Imperial Council. In other words, as a main official, Shangshu needs more time to work in Ouchi. The general affairs of each ministry are divided among a few squires. The squires of each ministry actually became the actual controller of the power of each ministry, and their power was much greater than that of the squire of the Ming Dynasty.

These Zhang Xuan can fight for the biggest official position. After all, although Zhang Xuan had a feeling of looking down on the cabinet scholars, he had to admit that this cabinet scholar was not Zhang Xuanneng

Those who are enough to intervene, especially the first assistant of the cabinet, and he, a general, are also in opposition to each other. Zhang Xuan didn't dare to ignore it.

The squire is already the largest price that Zhang Xuan can offer.

There is another reason why Zhang Xuan made such a bloody investment, that is, he didn't want Ding Chukui to stay in Liangguang. With the help of Ding Chukui's influence to appease so many demoted officials, it will be impossible for these demoted officials to be transferred out for a while and a half, and if Ding Chukui stays in Guangzhou, I am afraid that Zhang Xuan will have to rely on Ding Chukui to govern the two Guangzhou.

Ding Chukui sat big, but it was not what Zhang Xuan wanted to see.

However, Ding Chukui didn't know these inside stories. Or maybe I don't want to know anymore.

"It is an honor for my subordinates to have Great Xia dominate the world and make a contribution." Ding Chukui said: "It's just that Guangzhou fell, Zhaoqing is not guaranteed, from Guilin to Zhaoqing, when Lin Jiading went east, he swept the ground for the soldiers, and did his best, the east of Guilin, Wuzhou." Pingle, the two mansions, are almost empty, just old and weak soldiers guarding it. From Zhaoqing to Wuzhou, four hundred miles, Wuzhou to Guilin, five hundred and eighty miles. The lower officials often listened to the first emperor when he was there, and often led the fine horse, day and night, and hit it twice. ”

"Based on this estimate, with the elite cavalry assault, within three or five days, you can assault the city of Guilin."

"Guilin, capture the king of Gui in hand, then the death of the Ming Dynasty. In the land of Guizhou, Guangxi, Benduo Tusi, the general should come with a large soldier and recruit Tusi to attend the meeting. Coming to power. If the tree is virtuous, the two provinces will be included in the territory of Daxia. Since the general's southern expedition, he has captured the three emperors of the Ming Dynasty. A lot of work. The king is hopeful. ”

Ding Chukui is also selfish about this, he understands very well that his credit for appeasing the county in western Guangdong is not so great, but Zhang Xuan has done this in terms of the situation. Ding Chukui was able to return to the dynasty and gain a firm foothold in the court.

Zhang Xuan listened, his hand tightened, he took two deep breaths, and said, "Let me think twice." ”

Ding Chukui is the best at observing words and feelings. Looking at Zhang Xuan's expression, he knew that Zhang Xuan's heart was moved. He also understands that many times the more advice is not about saying more about the better, but about the appropriate benefits. Since Zhang Xuan was already a little moved, he got up and said goodbye.

Zhang Xuan waited for Ding Chukui to leave. Immediately got up and wandered from side to side.

Zhang Xuan has always wanted to end the battle between Guangxi and Guangzhou, and Ding Chukui's plan gave Zhang Xuan a perfect answer. As long as Guilin is conquered, he will appease Guizhou and Guangxi's Tusi. Even give them a little sweetness, so that they just don't use it for the Ming army.

At that time, most of the soldiers in Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong in Daxia can be dismissed.

As for Yunyang, Chongqing, and Guizhou, among the thousands of miles of mountains, one can be prepared to support Tusi and occupy a few key points on the other.

Zhang Xuan didn't need to calculate, he knew that Daxia needed

The army can be reduced a lot. After recovering from the dilemma of fighting a war on both sides, Jiangxi, Hukuban, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, and these provinces were completely classified as the interior, and the financial pressure was greatly reduced between one increase and one decrease.

This was followed by a great increase in the finances at the disposal of the Great Xia court. It can even be directly exchanged for an increase in national strength. When the time comes, it will be a year or two of recuperation, westward into Sichuan, unify the south, or learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, first go down to Shandong, attack Henan, then attack Shaanxi, and finally besiege the general strategy of Dadu.

It's all possible.

But if, according to Zhang Xuan's original idea, the land of Lingnan was divided in half with the Ming army, the conquest between Guangxi and Guangdong would continue until next year, and the Yongli regime was not eliminated. Guizhou, the Ming army in the corner of Hunan, will not give up.

That is, although Zhang Xuan's victory changed the strategic situation of Great Xia, the situation of the two-front battle in Great Xia still did not change. It's just that one side is Xiangyang, Huaixi, and Huaidong. On one side are Xiangxi, Guizhou, Guangxi.

What's more, the latter front, in many places, is deep in the mountains, and if you want to have a simple and neat war of annihilation, I am afraid it will not be easy to find.

If there was no pressure from the Qing court, Zhang Xuan might want to be more stable, but Zhang Xuan felt the pressure of the Qing court all the time.

The significance of this battle does not lie in the number of prefectures and counties occupied, Guangxi has always been a poor place, and the occupation of Bactria in the south of the Yangtze River is not inferior to the taxes of those prefectures and counties, but the change in the strategic form of Bactria . To the average general, they may not see this layer.

But for Zhang Xuan, the temptation was too great.

Zhang Xuan clearly saw that there were various risks, such as the city of Guilin was also relatively strong, plus the Ming army that Wang Jincai confronted in Yongzhou, that is, Liu Chengyin's department, still had some combat effectiveness, even though Guilin was empty, but there were still 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers.

This goes for the assault. Hit fast and slow. The fight is surprisingly unusual. Once it slows down, the situation is much worse.

To fight or not to fight, two thoughts in Zhang Xuan's repeated battles, Zhang Xuan looked up suddenly, but found that the sun had already tilted westward, and unconsciously, it had been a morning. It's already afternoon.

"Fox suspicion is a taboo for the three armed forces." Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "Whether you fight or not, you must make a quick decision." ”

Zhang Xuan stood in front of the table, stretching out his hand to grind, trying to calm himself down. Immediately twisted up the brush and wrote down the advantages and disadvantages of this battle one by one, but found that the benefits were written in more than a dozen lines, but the most serious consequence that Zhang Xuan thought about was that more than 10,000 cavalry troops were wiped out.

But now the size of the Great Xia Dynasty can already withstand this kind of loss.

"I bet." Zhang Xuan threw his pen on the ground. Said word by word.
