Chapter Seventy-Four: Liu Wenxiu's Eastward Journey III

Luo Yulong didn't notice the haze in Liu Wenxiu's heart, exchanged a few words with Liu Wenxiu, and said, "Brother Liu is here, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Liu Wenxiu didn't drag the hypothesis, and said directly: "My Daxi was besieged by the Ming army on three sides in Chengdu, and the form was not good, and I also asked Your Majesty to read on the past friendship and help each other." ”

After Luo Yulong heard this, he said: "With Uncle Zhang's friendship with the former emperor, these things should not be refused. Luo Yulong paused slightly, and Liu Wenxiu suddenly felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, Luo Yulong said next: "It's just that the first emperor is newly mourned, and the current national mourning has not been removed." The soldiers and horses of Daxia fought in Xiangyang, and the damage was too heavy, and now it is advisable to be quiet and not to move, so it is impossible to send troops into Sichuan. ”

Liu Wenxiu listened to Luo Yulong's words, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "I don't dare to ask for this. I only hope that your country can exchange markets with my great west along the river. We are willing to ask for food, artillery, and weapons at high prices. ”

Liu Wenxiu knows Zhang Xianzhong, if Luo Yulong really has to send troops into Sichuan, I am afraid that Zhang Xianzhong will not be at ease.

The so-called invitation to God is easy and difficult to send God.

Although Zhang Xianzhong's situation in Sichuan is not very good, it can still maintain the situation. Once the Xia army enters Sichuan, let the Xia army occupy a bridgehead in Sichuan, Sichuan natural danger will become shared by both sides, and it is estimated that there will be no obstacles for the Xia army to advance westward in the future.

Luo Yulong dared to send troops, and Zhang Xianzhong probably didn't dare to ask for it.

After Luo Yulong heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "It's a matter of mutual markets. Why do you need me to talk about it, Brother Liu just sent the people below to talk. ”

Luo Yulong's words were only agreed in principle, and as for the details, they need to be talked about. Liu Wenxiu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Liu Wenxiu saw that Luo Yulong agreed, and he was relieved, Luo Yulong chatted with Liu Wenxiu about the form of central Sichuan, and when he heard Zhang Xianzhong and the decisive battle of the generals in southern Sichuan, he suddenly became interested in his heart, and said: "When is Uncle Zhang going to show his might and break the official army." ”

Liu Wenxiu did the math and said, "In about a month or two." ”

A big war from initiation to unfolding, and then to the decisive battle, under normal circumstances, it takes a lot of time.

Now that Fan Yixuan has just taken over as the governor of the three provinces, he is also in contact with the generals and acting in unison. And Zhang Xianzhong is also cleaning up the traitors and preparing to go south, and the real decisive battle between the two sides will be about a month or two later.

Luo Yulong wrote down this time period. In his opinion, Nanming was so broken that it was impossible to launch a counteroffensive in two directions, that is, at this time period, the Xia army could do something. Luo Yulong said: "I remember, when the time comes, I will send a partial division to the south to contain the official army Huguang troops. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." In fact, the Ming Army of Hu Guang and the Ming Army of Southern Sichuan are referring to

There is a clear sense of separation. Even if Luo Yulong didn't send a biased teacher, it would be impossible for the two parties to support each other, but after all, it was Luo Yulong's kindness, and he didn't dare to brush it off.

After Luo Yulong and Liu Wenxiu determined the general principle, Liu Wenxiu never saw Luo Yulong much again.

Instead, he talked with Qian Qianyi's subordinate officials of the Ministry of Rites, and such feudal etiquette was led by the Ministry of Rites, and at the same time, the subordinates of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War participated, because what Liu Wenxiu wanted was under the jurisdiction of these two departments.

To be honest, there is no shortage of silver in Zhang Xianzhong's hands. After all, Zhang Xianzhong accepted the family background of the king of Shu, and also copied the homes of many gentry in Sichuan, and there was a lot of silver.

But if the silver cannot be exchanged for supplies, it is of no use at all.

Sichuan can also be regarded as a grain exporter in peacetime, and under normal circumstances, there is enough food for itself. But the chaos in Kawanaka has been in turmoil for so long, and grain production has been reduced. In addition, Zhang Xianzhong could not establish a perfect tax system. A lot of grain could not be harvested.

You can only bring a knife.

However, as soon as it was stained with blood, the silver came the fastest, so that when Zhang Xianzhong fled from Chengdu in later generations, there was a very bright treasure of the shipwreck, which can be seen.

Therefore, Liu Wenxiu had already been instructed, and he used a price several times higher than the market price to purchase these things, and then shipped them upstream to Chengdu. In this way, it is also a large sum of money for Daxia. In such a situation, how could Luo Yulong not agree to come down.

Naturally, there is no need to mention the details of the negotiations between the two sides.

It's just that Liu Wenxiu felt that the representatives of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War who negotiated with him were all talents. He couldn't help but feel: "There are so many talents in Great Xia. ”

In fact, it is not that there are many talents in Daxia, but that there is a lack of talents in Daxi. It can be said that Zhang Xianzhong himself made no one dare to come to defect,

The two sides almost hit it off, and the first deals were completed quickly.

After the cabinet submitted it, Luo Yulong just flipped through it, looked at the big section, and approved a red letter on it: "Quasi." ”

Immediately, this letter was filed in the cabinet, Luo Yulong's side, and the library building. If it is said that in the era of Luo Rucai, Daxia was still a grass platform team, but in the era of Luo Yulong, Jiangnan Shi Dafu had already stepped onto the stage of the highest power in Daxia.

No matter what else he has attacked, at least, with their help, Luo Yulong has certain rules for acting. It's almost a move from the Ming Dynasty's set of ancestral family laws. It's just that although Luo Yulong is not the founder of the country, he is also from Rongma.

It's not that easy to handle.

So at this moment, these civil officials play the role of loyal courtiers of the emperor, willing to fight all forces for the emperor, including feudal towns, nobles, relatives, military generals, and so on.

Luo Yulong also thinks it's easy to use. On top of the military, I feel that Jiangnan scholars, in addition to talking about soldiers, are almost obedient in other aspects.

Luo Yulong had just approved this recital, when he heard someone outside say, "Your Majesty, the old Qian Ge asks to see you." ”

"Oh." Luo Yulong said, "Please." ”

Qian Qianyi came over for a while, and after saluting, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Gao Doushu, the governor of Xiangyang, has reported urgently, the army in Hanzhong attacked He Jinbazhi, surrendered He Jin's army, He Jin went north to surrender to the Qing, and the army came to Yunyang?" ”

"Who is it?" Luo Yulong immediately asked, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "But is it a high grade?" ”

Qian Qianyi said: "Your Majesty's eyes are like torches. ”

Luo Yulong doesn't care about Qian Qianyi's sycophancy, he can judge this, not because of how good his eyes are, but because many things in Daxia have gradually improved, at least there are dark lines in Beijing, and the intelligence of Beijing is constantly being sent, although after being sent, a lot of news is outdated.

But these outdated news also reveal one thing.

That is, the Manchu Qing courtiers in Shaanxi, the trilateral governor Meng Qiaofang, and the Shaanxi governor He Luohui were all at war with Gao Yigong. The specific situation of Gao Yigong was unknown for a while, but Gao Yigong was already active in the southwest of Shaanxi, that is, in the area of Qinghai in Gansu Province, but it is undoubted.

When something like this happened, Luo Yulong naturally judged that the comer was a high meritorious.

Luo Yulong asked, "How many people are there in Gao Yigong?" What is the situation in Xiangyang? ”

Qian Qianyi said: "Governor Gao said that Gao Yigong is still in Hanzhong, and it is not clear how much it is for a while, but one thing is certain, that is, Gao Yigong's army is more than 50,000 soldiers. Gao Yigong is also a strong general in the camp, and he has a good relationship with the thieves in the mountains of Yunyang, and there are still many remnants of the camp in Xiangyang City. I'm afraid----

Before Qian Qianyi finished speaking, Luo Yulong felt a pain in his head.

It can't help but hurt, he has to clean up the mess for his father now. Li Zicheng's death was between the camp and the Cao camp, and the obstacle could not be crossed. If the camp was only Li Guo, Bai Wang's two divisions would be fine, but in the battle of Xiangyang, Bai Wang was killed in battle, and Bai Wang's department was divided and filled into various departments.

Bai Wangbu no longer exists. And Li Guo's department is also not afraid of serious injuries. And now there is another high level of merit.

Let Luo Yulong really feel that although Li Zicheng was defeated, his fame has not fallen, and even in many places in the Central Plains, there are still many people who hold high the name of Dashun Yongchang and go against the Manchu Dynasty. And Luo Rucai killed Li Zicheng by his will, but he was hated by the remnants of the camp.

But thinking about it the other way, Li Zicheng is still so troublesome when he dies, if Li Zicheng doesn't die, Luo Yulong doesn't have absolute confidence to be able to hold Li Zicheng. Each has its own troubles.
