Zhou Lang wanted to be angry.

But he restrained himself, he knew he wasn't in a position to be angry, but he was really angry in his heart.

Suddenly, he felt that he had lost all affection for this woman with an average appearance.

This is a political marriage, and Zhou Lang desperately wants to inject feelings into it to make it look more like a normal marriage. But there are too many dead knots, political interests, power struggles that he needs to balance, and now it seems that he has failed. The relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma is really enviable.

Does politics really make people pay such a heavy price?

Zhou Lang didn't know.

He finally assured his wife calmly: "He is not Han Lin'er, and I am not Zhu Yuanzhang." ”

Chen Sanmei was still moved, but she didn't think that if Zhou Lang was not Zhu Yuanzhang, she would not be Queen Ma.

Chen Sanmei also asked, "Can I write a letter to Chen Guanghui?" Let him protect his uncle, persuade his uncle, don't force it. ”

This is a big taboo, Zhou Lang wants to go on a northern expedition, of course, it is the most advantageous surprise attack, but his wife wants to leak the military information, but Zhou Lang nodded and agreed.

This time it's a dignified battle, and it can't be stopped as soon as it fights.

The stability of Fujian and Guangdong has allowed him to obtain sufficient manpower and material resources, and even financial guarantees, and he has made all the preparations, and there is no reason not to fight a big war that will level the world.

Thousands of people will die in this war, and those who survive will go through a new history. And the price paid for this will be very heavy, and Zhou Lang himself is ready to sacrifice everything.

In order to keep these sacrifices to a minimum, Zhou Lang decided to act quickly and strive to fight a big war, a war of annihilation, and a decisive battle.

At this time, it is the autumn of the third year of Jiaqing, after more than half a year of efforts, most of Guangdong's business has recovered, the key is that the momentum of recovery is excellent, and the standardized management has not yet revealed the drawbacks, and so on The disadvantages will take many years, which is enough for Zhou Lang to do a lot of things.

Zhao Wen's military operation to invade Guangxi was very smooth, and the strange thing is that Guangxi is not a province with many people and few places, and there are also frequent activities of the Heaven and Earth Society, which brought great convenience to Zhao Wen's actions, and it took only three months to capture all the prefectures and counties along the river, and these riverside areas are almost the most prosperous places in Guangxi, and most of the remaining areas are mountainous and hilly areas, and the difficulty of the attack has increased geometrically, and there are complex ethnic components, and military operations have become more and more difficult.

Zhao Wen won most of Guangxi, and Zhou Lang's strength growth was better than nothing. First of all, the population is small, Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty was not a province with a large population, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it experienced Li Dingguo and other Southern Ming forces and Manchu forces repeatedly tug-of-war, the population declined a lot, and in the early Qing Dynasty, there was the rebellion of the three feudatories, and Guangxi was also the main battlefield. By the Kangxi period, the official record was only more than one million, and when Qianlong succeeded to the throne, it was less than four million, and now it is only more than six million, which is only half of Fujian and one-third of Guangdong. Compared with the number of more than 40 million in later generations, it is obvious that Guangxi at this time is far from having many people and few places.

Historically, until the Guangxu period, the Qing government has been encouraging immigrants to reclaim in Guangxi, and there is obviously more wasteland that can be cultivated at this time. However, with the movement of the Heaven and Earth Society, it is really impossible to explain the contradiction between man and earth, and it can only be said that the complex situation in the frontier land gives space to the anti-Qing people. As long as there is space, the rebels will always be endless, which is also a characteristic of the Qing Dynasty in history.

Is it because the Han people have a strong sense of nationality? Why didn't the Tang Dynasty hear that the Han people always wanted to rebel against the Li family of Xianbei blood, the reason is actually very simple, not to suffer from widowhood but to suffer from inequality, the Qing Dynasty was too preferential to the Manchus, this kind of preferential treatment even if the Manchus were not satisfied, but inequality would make the Han people dissatisfied, dissatisfied with the rebellion, and resistance would be in the name of the previous dynasty.

Of course, national identity also exists more or less, so the rebels at the end of the Yuan Dynasty played the banner of opposing the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, and the regime established by King Xiao Ming was called the Song Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty of course was also a grandiose anti-Qing Dynasty and a restoration of the Ming Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were few people who rebelled under the banner of restoration and restoration, at least indicating that the Han people did not have much identification with these two dynasties.

The distribution of the forces of these Heaven and Earth Societies is very staggering, almost all over Guangxi, and even cross-border activities, colluding with the Vietnamese resistance force Tay Son Dynasty. According to the Vietnamese history book "Da Nan Shilu", Nguyen Van Hue had a lot of collusion with the Guangxi Tiandihui, and his intention was not small, but his war elephant troops died of illness before they reached China. Otherwise, the Heaven and Earth Society may launch an uprising in Guangxi with the support of the Xishan Dynasty.

They didn't get the support of the Vietnamese, and now Zhou Lang is here, and Zhou Lang has the background of the Heaven and Earth Society, and he is the generalissimo of the South Road Auxiliary State appointed by Chen Zhouquan in the past, even if he is now called the name of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, but the Guangxi Tiandi Society still thinks that Zhou Lang is the generalissimo of the Tiandi Society, and he is his own person, so he enthusiastically participated. In fact, they just continued to fight against this society on the grounds of anti-Qing Dynasty, and the White Lotus Sect, a religious force that had been used, betrayed and strangled by Zhu Yuanzhang, rebelled with the propaganda slogan "Maitreya reincarnated, as an auxiliary cow eight (Zhu)", and also played the banner of the Zhu family.

Zhou Lang's arrival provided a platform for these rebels, how could they not take refuge.

And Zhou Lang also boldly accepted them, as for what organizational forces and religious beliefs, Zhou Lang understood that it was just a bond of their unity, a banner, not a principle that could not be changed. Besides, even if their beliefs are as firm as the Alabo people, it's a big deal that Zhou Lang has nothing to do to worship Guan Gong and boldly admit that he is a brother of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Not to mention the Heaven and Earth Society, even if the White Lotus Sect is coming, Zhou Lang still dares to co-opt it, in the same way, dress himself up and tell those people that he is the reincarnation of Miller, and he is here to lead everyone to live a good life, this kind of thing, if necessary, Zhou Lang doesn't care at all.

Therefore, Zhou Lang asked Zhao Wen to boldly accept the refuge of the local Heaven and Earth Society, co-opt them, train them, and at the same time use their strength and network to stabilize Guangxi and press towards Yunnan, not seeking to be able to defeat Yunnan, but to occupy a favorable pass, and stabilize the position in Guangxi, the southwest direction will not be the main battlefield of Zhou Lang's struggle for the world, it is only the final place to be solved.

The main battlefield is still the central region.

Therefore, at the same time as the Northern Expedition to Zhejiang, he will attack by two routes, crossing the Wuyi Mountain by land to attack Jiangxi, going up the Yangtze River by water, going down the waterway of the Ganjiang River, taking Jiangxi with the fastest speed by land and water, and then going down the river to occupy the entire lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, Zhou Lang put forward a goal, which is also the goal of the group represented by Zhou Lang, and is a powerful driving force for all civil and military officials to forge ahead: five years to level the world!
