Chapter Eighty-Three: The East Bed

Luo Rucai's face flushed a little, and then returned to normal. Not to mention anything else, Luo Rucai's self-control is still quite good, as if he is fine, and said, "What do you want?" Don't want to have how? ”

It would be incorrect to say that Luo Rucai did not have this ambition before.

Every Chinese has an emperor dream in his heart.

Even in the Republican period, there were still many warlords who dreamed of this. Not to mention the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Luo Rucai hadn't thought about it before, but he hadn't thought that the Ming Dynasty could really be destroyed by them.

Yes, it was also in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng defeated Sun Chuanting, and after the last mobile force of the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, the world suddenly realized that the world of the Ming Dynasty could not support it. Prior to this, among the rebels from all walks of life, Li Zicheng was determined to destroy the Ming.

Luo Rucai didn't think much about it at all. I don't think it's likely.

If you look at history, many things are unimaginable. And at this moment, Zhang Xuan removed this layer of window paper for Luo Rucai, how could Luo Rucai have no ideas? Moreover, he recently read history books, and saw that Han Gaozu was still able to dominate the world at an advanced age, how could he be inferior to Liu Bang?

"The major events in the world should be said in an outline." Zhang Xuan said.

"What is the program of the world? in the money grain. ”

"Daming fell into such a situation, because there was not enough money and food. Although this money and food are insufficient, it is caused by internal reasons in his Ming court. And today, there are Tartars outside the fortress, with a mere 100,000 people, suppressing the millions of people on the nine sides, and repeatedly breaking through the pass, Hebei and Shandong, such as into a no-man's land, the soldiers are very sharp. Nobody can do it. There is also Liaodong as the foundation. It has been passed down to two generations and has a solid foundation. Because it is a fledgling country, it naturally has a vigorous spirit, and it is the primary enemy in the fight for the world, so it must not be ignored. The destruction of the Ming Dynasty is also in the past three or five years, and after the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, it is the world to compete for the deer. If there is no stable rear, even if the Qing army wins several times, as long as it is defeated, the situation will be out of control, such as Xiang Yu's encounter with Liu Bang. Therefore, the foundation of the world is first established. ”

"However, the world can be solid for mountains and rivers, and there are several places where the country can be built. In ancient times, it is Hebei, Guanzhong, Jiangnan, and Sichuan. The place of the four wars in Henan, the place where the troops are exchanged back and forth, not the place of rest and recuperation, Hebei is the place where the Beijing division is located, and the Qing army is outside the pass, based on Hebei, to be the Qing army to fight, if our army and the Qing army are entangled, it is not for others to make wedding clothes, so Hebei is not advisable. ”

"And what about Shaanxi? Shaanxi, the place of the world's elite soldiers, since ancient times, the Qin soldiers have fought hard, even if they can support the great tomorrow now, they are also Qin soldiers, and once the Qin soldiers are destroyed, the great tomorrow will collapse. It's just that Shaanxi has had many droughts since the first year of Chongzhen, and there are few good years, and it is the place where the righteous army and the official army clashed, the place is extremely dilapidated, and if you want to recover your vitality, you can't do it in one or two years, and the righteous army lacks the talent who can run a place, so if you want to restore the vitality of Shaanxi, the future is even slimmer. Moreover, since the century-old dispute between the Song and Xia dynasties, Shaanxi has long been broken, not as prosperous as the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the danger of Guanzhong is enough to defend itself, but the grain in Guanzhong is not enough to raise soldiers. Therefore, it cannot be used in Guanzhong. ”

"Sichuan is remote, difficult to enter and difficult to get out, and it is easy to be trapped in a corner of Sichuan, and have nothing to do with the world. Moreover, the regime established by Shu has rarely unified the world, so it is a policy to base itself on Sichuan, and it has to be done as a last resort. ”

"You mean to be based in Jiangnan?" Luo Rucai asked.

Having said that, Zhang Xuan's meaning is already very clear.

"Exactly." Zhang Xuan said: "Jiangnan is the foothold of Emperor Taizu, since the Tang and Song dynasties, the world's money and grain rely on the southeast to become a foregone conclusion, how can Li Shimin say that he won the world?" Soldier Elite Armor, why Soldier Elite Armor? Without him, there is money and food. ”

"The north is withered, no southeast is not enough to establish a country, and the prosperity of money and grain in the south of the Yangtze River, a in the world, with Jiangnan as the foundation, the division of troops to attack Huguang, even if it is not enough to take the world, it can also be a situation of partial security, after the foundation is stable, it can also follow the Northern Expedition of Emperor Taizu. So the world can be determined. And not Jiangnan, money and food are scarce, money and food are not enough to support the soldiers, and the soldiers will be scattered if they have no food, unless they win a hundred battles, and those who lose will lose their previous achievements. ”

"As you said, the elite soldiers in the world are all from the north, if you are based in the south of the Yangtze River, there are no horses and elite soldiers to compete for the world?" Luo Rucai said.

"The best soldiers in the world are all from the north? Where to place the Zhejiang soldiers? Zhang Xuan said.

Luo Rucai was speechless for a while, it is true that the combat effectiveness of the Zhejiang soldiers is strong, and Luo Rucai has also heard of it.

"As for horses, of course, it is the weight of the militaristic state, but now firearms are the most important, as long as there is enough money and food, there are enough firearms, and my father-in-law goes south, how can he go south alone, as long as my father-in-law sweeps the world within a few years, why worry about it, the southern soldiers are not enough?"

There are some inherent chains of contempt, the region is black, and Zhang Xuan doesn't have a very good way. He believes that whether an army can fight a war or not is only related to the training level of this army, and has nothing to do with the geographical attributes of this army.

But this explanation is very difficult for Luo Rucai to hear? It probably doesn't make sense.

Lobbying others, not debating, cannot force one's own views into others, but can only rely on his inherent knowledge. These small things can be swept by in a flash.

"Jiangnan is not easy to take?" Luo Rucai sighed and said: "If you want to take Jiangnan, you need to face Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong, and all the generals are hard stubble. ”

"Therefore, my father-in-law wants to fight side by side with Li Chuang, sweep away the Central Plains troops, and then find a way to capture Jiangnan." Zhang Xuan said: "As long as Jiangnan is stabilized for a few years, you can send troops to fight for the world." ”

Luo Rucai said: "Virtuous son-in-law, the Ninth Five-Year Honor, has its own mandate, how can I be a person who snoops on the destiny of heaven in vain, in this case, don't say it again in the future." Luo Rucai said with a smile: "I know that the virtuous son-in-law is talented, and he and Yujiao are in love. Naturally, I won't be this wicked person, otherwise I would have to be plucked out of my beard by Yujiao. I promised you and Yujiao about it, but if you do such a thing, you must get married quickly, and you are not allowed to meet again before you get married. ”

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his whole person became much more relaxed.

Zhang Xuan didn't care whether Luo Ru really intended the world or fake the world, he prepared a speech all night, and finally passed the test, and there was finally no obstacle to his affairs with Luo Yujiao.

Zhang Xuan respectfully bowed to Luo Rucai and said, "The son-in-law listens to his father-in-law." ”

His heart was full of excitement.

And his excitement is not just because he can marry Luo Yujiao. There is also the feeling of making history.

He didn't know if anyone had made such a statement to Luo Rucai in history, and he didn't know if there was such a person as Luo Yujiao in history, let alone who Luo Yujiao had married, but now Luo Yujiao would marry him.

History has changed.

"Since history has changed, there is no difference between changing a little more, and changing a little less, what grandmother paradox? Not grandmother paradox, I care. Zhang Xuan felt a sense of pride in participating in history for a while, and this feeling made him feel more exciting than being with Luo Yujiao last night.

After Luo Rucai sent Zhang Xuan away, he sat heavily on the chair, and his breathing became heavy. His heart was pounding.

Immediately took out a map, this map was still seized in Xiangyang Mansion, it was a map of the Ming Dynasty, Luo Rucai looked at it carefully, and the map corresponded to what Zhang Xuan said, it seemed that the world was in the palm of his hand.

"I didn't expect Zhang Xuan to be so talented." Luo Rucai's eyes shone brightly. "We must let Yujiao marry him as soon as possible, and tie Zhang Xuan to the Luo family's boat. Otherwise, it will be very disadvantageous for others to get it. ”

As soon as he thought of Zhang Xuan and looked at his son, Luo Rucai suddenly had the feeling of looking at other people's children, and the two seemed to be not much different in age. But the capabilities are too different.

"However, Yulong has Zhang Xuan's assistance, so he can maintain the situation in the future, but I first want to lay down a big world for Yulong." Luo Rucai slammed his fist on the map. It is on the map the location of Nanjing.

If you want to seize the south of the Yangtze River, Nanjing is a place that cannot be bypassed.
