Chapter 916 gathers to tackle key problems

Peasant uprisings and riots, this is the most hated by the dynasties, and the Jin State is no exception, especially in the areas controlled by the Jin State, Shaanxi and Sichuan are the hardest hit areas of the Liukou cholera, and the gentry have suffered extremely heavy losses, and they hate the Liukou to the core.

Wu Sangui explained, seeing that the Ming army was gathering generals and would not tackle the problem for the time being, he looked at it for a moment, waved his hand and led his subordinates to the pass.

On the way out, Hu Guozhu let out a remorseful sound in his mouth, "This Sun Kewang is really good at picking time!" Knowing this, before we entered Sichuan, we should try to communicate with him and jointly deal with Nanming. ”

It was not that Jin Guo did not consider uniting with the Western Army before entering Sichuan, but in the end it was not done.

Wu Sangui shook his head, "If you want to unite Sun Kewang, you have to give him benefits, I thought that I could easily eat Sichuan, so naturally I don't need to unite with Sun Thief, and besides, don't forget, our goal is only to weaken the power of the Ming Dynasty, not to have a long-term tug of war with the Ming Dynasty, Sichuan cannot be divided to Sun Kewang, and we can't go to Guizhou, let Dolgon's mountains watch the tiger fight." Zhang Wei died at the hands of the emperor, and the western thieves offended the gentry of the Sichuan and Shu clans, and many ministers in the court would not agree to this proposal, and it was not possible to unite them in a few words. ”

The Jin army is 200,000, 100,000 is in Guanzhong, and 100,000 is in Sichuan and Shu, and the strength of Brother Hao is not too much, and Brother Hao's purpose is to grasp the military power through the Ming War, and Radorgon is just an incidental thing, but he doesn't want to set himself on fire, and really share the pressure for Dolgon, so the scale of the war must be controlled, and he will accept it when he sees it, he has not thought about going to Guizhou, and his troops are a little insufficient.

Hu Guozhu nodded, "That being said, let's fight with the Ming army here, but Sun Thief went to occupy southern Sichuan and western Sichuan, and he really couldn't bear it in his humble heart." ”

The Jin army sent troops to contribute, and in the end offended the Ming Dynasty, not to mention, he didn't take any benefits, and made a wedding dress for others, and anyone would be angry.

"Not only can you bear it, but this king can't bear it either, when the news reaches the emperor's ears, I'm afraid the emperor will also be furious." Wu Sangui opened his mouth and said: "However, now is not the time to be angry, if the battle of eastern Sichuan is not fought well, and our losses are too great, I am afraid that this advantage will really be taken advantage of by Sun Thief." ”

Now it seems that the Jin army can at most drive the Ming army to Chongqing in the south of the Yangtze River, before Brother Hao wanted to quickly occupy the whole Sichuan, guard the danger, and block the Ming army out of Sichuan, resulting in the fact of occupying Sichuan, and the Ming Dynasty had Dolgon in the north, and Sun was eager in the southwest, and he did not want to fight on three fronts.

But at the moment, there is almost no suspense for the Ming army to keep Chongqing, and the plan of the Jin State to guard against the Ming army has been unable to be realized.

The Ming army had more than 50,000 people under the Fotu Pass, and after the war, the Jin army had to put at least 30,000 people to guard against the Ming army in Chongqing, and 20,000 people had to be sent to Wanxian County to prevent the Ming army from entering Sichuan.

Hu Guozhu was silent for a while, and hurriedly followed Wu Sangui, "I know the humble position, now the main thing is to end the Eastern Sichuan War as soon as possible, and the humble position will send someone to inform the emperor of the situation outside the Fotu Pass according to the instructions of the prince." ”

Wu Sangui nodded, "You go and do it immediately, and then send an order to let everyone come to the king's tent to discuss the matter of guarding the customs." ”

Wu Sangui and his entourage walked down the wall while talking, and after the drums sounded on the Ming army's side, the commanders of each battalion also came out to go to the tent.

After the death of Wang Yingxiong, the governor of Sichuan, the command system of the Ming army in Sichuan can be said to have collapsed.

At this time, reinforcements from all over the country gathered, the command system was even more scattered, the five loyal troops were directly under the central government, after Yuan Zongdi was trapped, Li Dingguo lost his command, Fan Yixuan was the governor of Sichuan, controlling the local troops in Sichuan, Wang Deren was the people of Jiangxi, and now there were reinforcements from Guizhou, as well as some Tusi in eastern Sichuan, forming a hodgepodge, in short, the composition is very complicated.

Originally, when these horses arrived, they had to be controlled by the governor of Sichuan and obey the orders of Yuan Zongdi, but now the highest governor of the Ming Dynasty in Sichuan, one is dead and the other is surrounded, and the troops below don't know whose orders they want.

At this time, Li Dingguo and Zhang Xian took advantage of the camp to travel, and after the Taifu Qin Liangyu arrived, he saw that the various departments were not subordinate to each other, and the command was chaotic, so he suggested that He Tengjiao take responsibility and unify the command as a scholar before the imperial court order arrived, so there was a large gathering of generals today.

Li Dingguo and the two first went to the big tent of Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan, and then rushed to He Tengjiao's camp to participate in the deliberations after the Sichuan generals arrived.

The Zhenwu camp is camped on the west side of the Ming army camp, and He Tengjiao's camp tent is in the southeast, and many barracks have to be passed along the way.

Li Dingguo wore a pair of fine scale armor, with a phoenix-winged helmet, with red feathers on his head, wearing a big red cloak, walking in the front according to the sword, he passed several camps along the way, and the Ming army inside was preparing to build siege equipment, all kinds of tall ladders, cocoons and other behemoths, one by one.

They first arrived at Fan Yixuan's camp, and then more than a dozen people followed Fan Yikui to the camp in the south.

The people and horses of Guizhou have just arrived, in addition to the 20,000 Shence army, there are also many Guizhou Tusi rushed to help in the war, they were originally going to Annanwei to deal with Sun Longing, but who knew that halfway through, Sun Kewang had already turned around and went to southern Sichuan, so they followed He Tengjiao to eastern Sichuan to participate in the rescue.

Zhang Xianzhen explained to Fan Yixuan and Li Dingguo: "These are the Tusi of Qiandong and Qiannan, they participate in the development of the imperial court in Guizhou, like the copper mine in Tongren and the iron mine in Guiyang, all of which are involved in the Tusi, and now they bring their own weapons and dry food to help in the war, and it is said that more than 10,000 people came." ”

Fan Yixuan listened to it and said in a deep voice: "Guizhou is sparsely populated, and if the imperial court wants to develop Guizhou's minerals, it will inevitably need a large number of miners. ”

Saying that, everyone had already arrived outside He Tengjiao's big tent, and in front of the tent was a large flag, on which were written a long list of official names such as university scholars, Duke Eguo, and Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, showing He someone's unparalleled qualifications.

At this time, the second drum in the army has been beaten, Fan Yikui and others arrived first, everyone stood outside the tent to talk, and after a while, the generals of Guizhou also came, and the last to come was the generals of Jiangxi.

Everyone introduced each other and talked for a while, Li Dingguo returned to Fan Yixuan's side, and then entered the big tent together and sat in the tent according to the size of his official position.

After the third drum was finished, He Tengjiao, who was dressed in a scarlet robe, strode out of the screen behind the tent, followed by two young women, supporting an old woman, who was Taifu Qin Liangyu.
