Chapter 124: Wu Sangui's Movements

However, all this must first be a realistic and feasible code to regulate administrative, criminal, civil and commercial law. and even royal laws.

This is not an easy task.

Zhang Xuan only has a framework in his heart, and it will take a long time to make this framework a law. It's just that soon Zhang Xuan can only suppress this matter temporarily. Because there is movement in Sichuan.

"Your Majesty." Zheng Lian said: "Sichuan Emergency. The Qing court envoy urged Wu Sangui to send troops to attack, but Wu Sangui hesitated for a few days and had already begun to gather troops, but he did not know where to invade. ”

Zheng Lian is now the head of the General Administration Department, on the one hand, all the recitals that enter the palace have to be passed through from Zheng Lian. In addition, he is also responsible for the collection of intelligence outside Great Xia. Zhang Xuan dispatched several people in charge of intelligence in various places. Just pass the information on.

At the speed of this era, it is also difficult to come all the way to take the initiative.

Therefore, Zheng Lian is just a person who accepts information, not all intelligence directors.

Zhang Xuan violently checked and balanced the efficiency from various rights and obligations. After thinking about it, he broke free and said to the left and right: "Before, where was the music of the King of Dian, I couldn't find it. ”

Immediately, several eunuchs searched among the rows of bookshelves, and under the entries in Yunnan, they took Li Dingguo's recent recital.

Zhang Xuan took it and hurriedly missed it. Close your eyes and meditate silently.

Zhang Xuan watched this recital more than once.

Zhang Xuan's imperial study is the place where he handles government affairs. Although the space is not small, there are hundreds of recitals that he reviews every day, and this is the result of the cabinet screening for Zhang Xuan. If all the notes are left here, these three-in-five old houses can't save so many notes, only Zhang Xuan thinks it's important and thinks that he will see the notes in the future, so he will leave a copy here.

Zhang Xuan had already seen this recital.

Among them, Li Dingguo impatiently explained the situation of the Yunnan-Guizhou Governor's Mansion one by one, including the troops, grain and grass, generals, material reserves, and the situation of each Tusi, especially the possible traces of Yongli. It seems that he married with Na's Tusi in the south, occupied two or three counties, and played the signboard of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Dingguo also asked for an order not to go into the crackdown.

In the end, Li Dingguo did not make any negotiations, and wanted to know Zhang Xuan whether to attack Sichuan in the decision, and listen to the holy ruling.

Although Li Dingguo didn't say it directly, Zhang Xuan found his attitude between the lines in this book, which was clearly eight words: "Maybe you can fight, but the time has not yet come." ”

So Zhang Xuan pushed down the idea of attacking Sichuan.

But I don't want Zhang Xuan to have it

The meaning of the westward expedition, Wu Sangui was not in place.

Zhang Xuan snorted coldly and said, "Tell the Privy Council to enter the palace." Invite all of you to the Cabinet. ”

"Yes." Li Fuguo said.

Then he went down and gave the order.

Just when Zhang Xuan was discussing how to deal with the changes in Sichuan, how to deal with Wu Sangui's attack, and how to deal with the private transaction with Wu Sangui, and so on.

Chengdu, in the palace of the king of Shu. Today's Shu Palace is already the Pingxi Palace. A human-height diorama reflects Wu Sangui's whole person.

Wu Sangui is also sorting out his clothes. I saw a majestic general in the mirror, covered in armor, with one hand around the helmet, and the red tassel on the helmet jumped up and down for a long time, as if it were a flame.

Today's Wu Sangui is in his prime. It's the best age of a hero.

This time, the Qing court can be said to have used both soft and hard treatment against Wu Sangui.

The soft one is nothing else, it is Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong recruited as a colt. Marriage with the royal family. It is so hard that if he refuses to fight, then the Qing army will send the Ganshan Green Battalion to the south, and then Sichuan will not allow Wu Sangui to call the shots.

Wu Sangui also thought about it for a long time.

In the end, it was decided to conquer Guizhou and Shiping in southern Sichuan.

The reason why he did this was that Wu Sangui was a smart person, and he knew that both Dolgon and Zhang Xuan were smart people, and for smart people, many things did not need to be said clearly, Wu Sangui knew very well that Dolgon would never trust him. It is also impossible for him to defect to the Southern Dynasties, and riding the wall between the two countries is his best ending.

Moreover, Wu Sangui has been dealing with Dongyu for half his life. Therefore, the situation of Dongyu is the clearest. He could see the weakness of Donglu, and the current situation couldn't be better for him, Donglu was slightly inferior to the Southern Dynasty, and his position was very important.

Dongyu will not deal with him easily. He also didn't want to offend the Southern Dynasty severely, otherwise if the Southern Dynasty didn't attack the north first and hit him first, he might not be able to withstand it.

As for the southern Sichuan tribes, they were all the previous Ming army. They killed Yang Zhan and came to defect to Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui accepted them one by one, but he just let them change their titles and stay in place. At that time, Wu Sangui did not have the ability to include them under his command, but after a year or two of cultivation and rest in Sichuan, although he had the ability, he did not dare to act rashly.

After all, although southern Sichuan is a big mountain, although Sichuan and Yunnan are adjacent to each other in this era, they have to be adjacent to Guizhou to have the same road, and the rest of the places are among the mountains, and it is difficult to march the army.

If Wu Sangui acts rashly, these wall grasses may be in a hurry, and they will surrender to the Southern Dynasty, which will not be easy to do.

Now, in the name of going south, all the southern Sichuan tribes have been recruited to march south together.

Consume them and put all parts of southern Sichuan under his control.

Thinking about it, it is enough to give an explanation to the Qing court.

However, this matter must reach a tacit understanding with the Southern Dynasties in advance.

Of course, whether a tacit understanding can be reached or not, Wu Sangui doesn't care too much. He also got the news that from the Yangtze River to Nanyang, the Qing army of various departments moved frequently, wanting to put pressure on Zhang Xuan. Moreover, the Qing army and the Xia army were fighting a fierce battle in Korea, and the Xia army did not have the intention to open another battlefield in the south.

And Wu Sangui is also confident in his army.

There is a tacit understanding that the winner indulges the loser. This does not require the other party to have a tacit understanding, only needs to have a tacit understanding yourself. Wu Sangui was a little worried about whether he could win a big victory, but in this case, he was very confident and achieved the requirements he wanted.

Wu Sangui brought his helmet on. Strode out, countless soldiers were waiting outside, Wu Sangui turned over and got on his horse, and then the soldiers behind him got on their horses one after another, and thousands of cavalry escorted Wu Sangui to a large school field.

On the school field, there are many swords and guns, guns and cannons, everything, one by one, the flags, you can't see the head at a glance, these tens of thousands of troops, well-equipped, cavalry and artillery are all there, the momentum is magnificent, the soldiers are strong and strong. This is the result of Wu Sangui's efforts in Sichuan in the past two years to harvest and secretly trade with the Southern Dynasties.

Wu Sangui was a typical warlord, both in Liaodong and Sichuan. When he had the money, he threw it all on the armament, and so on. Wu Sangui's department has today's weather, which is also natural.

And having such a subordinate is also where Wu Sangui's confidence lies.

If you add the southern Sichuan departments, Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses are already close to 200,000.

With an army of 200,000, there are many things that can be done.

Wu Sangui reviewed the army and made the final preparations before the expedition, and the messenger he sent also came. It's just that He Hutou doesn't dare to call the shots. He also knew about Wu Sangui's abnormal movements, and he had strengthened his vigilance, and as for other matters, he could only hand them over to Nanjing to deal with.

So Wu Sangui's envoy went straight downstream, but in a day or two he came to the city of Nanjing.

The matter of Wu Sangui's change was kept strictly secret, and most officials did not know about it, and they were still immersed in arguing about the way to govern the country. How to change the official system, but they didn't find that in the past two days, all the senior officials of the cabinet and the Privy Council have disappeared together. Silence remained.

Because they were in the palace at the imperial meeting, in order to deal with Wu Sangui's change, they quarreled a lot. Within a day or two, no result was discussed, and neither side could convince anyone, but Zhang Xuan couldn't let them delay indefinitely. Forcing them to stay in the palace must have a result. Otherwise, stay in the palace.
