Haoge suffered heavy losses in Sichuan, especially the Manchurians who were his personal guards, and only more than 1,000 people escaped, which caused the political pattern within the Jin State to change rapidly.

It turned out that the situation of the balance between the Manchus and the Han was smashed, and a fierce political struggle would inevitably ensue.

From the end of last year, feeling the undercurrent, Haoge has left Chengdu to return to Xi'an, and soon after, Yongping King Meng Qiaofang and Sun Kewang, who had just surrendered, also followed to Xi'an, Sichuan Shu and Hanzhong were handed over to Wu Sangui, who had just been crowned the king of Shu, as the plenipotentiary prime minister, but Wu Sangui did not seem to put his mind on guarding Sichuan and Shu.

When the Ming Dynasty sharpened its sword, as the balance between the Manchus and the Han Dynasty was broken, the Han bureaucrat Kong Wenfu took the lead in rebellion, and the Manchu ministers led by Jierharang were impeached in the upper book, colluding with the Qing Dynasty, and instigating the Jin State to go to war with the Southern Ming Dynasty, causing the Jin State to lose its troops and quickly set off a storm of Manchu seizure of power.

Han Chaoxuan, who returned to Xi'an, also immediately wrote a letter asking for a re-examination, and the Qing envoy was assassinated, and Meng Qiaofang, who had just been crowned the king of Yongping County, also sided with Hanchen.

The reason why Han Chaoxuan and others dared to rebel against the Haoge clan was because the balance of power between the Manchus and the Han had undergone tremendous changes, and the Manchus could no longer control the situation.

After Haoge fled back to Chengdu, he already had a premonition that the political situation was going to be turbulent, so he wanted to stabilize Meng Qiaofang by sealing the king, but he didn't want to, Meng Qiaofang still decided to be full.

Jin Guo's national policy change failed this time, not to mention the savings of several years, he didn't get the benefits, and he was beaten back by a fat beating.

Someone must bear the responsibility for the failure of the whole decision, Haoge is the emperor, and he can't take the blame, so only Zierharang, who helped the Qing court in the first place, will take the blame and take responsibility.

Now in the Jin Kingdom, there are only more than 10,000 Manchu soldiers left, and Ao Bai and other high-ranking generals were killed after taking the lead, and the strength of the Manchu people is not as strong as Wu Sangui.

Under the rebellion of the Han ministers, Haoge could only compromise, Zilharang was demoted to the king of the county, seized his post and placed under house arrest, and other Manchu ministers were also implicated and demoted.

There are seven scholars in the cabinet of Jin, originally four and three in the Han Dynasty, and now there are only one Manchu scholars, only Sony is left, and the political situation of the entire Jin country can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is almost completely controlled by the Han people.

Haoge's Manchu and Han checks and balances were broken, so he could only take the road of dividing the Han people, and the newly invested Sun Kewang was therefore reused by Haoge, he was an outsider, and the original Jin State Hanchen was not all the way, which could play a certain role in diversion, Wu Sangui also became the object of Haoge's support, used to fight against Meng Qiaofang, Han Chaoxuan and others.

The fierce political struggle within the Jin State made the people's hearts unstable, and the time was ripe for the Ming army to attack the Jin State and could not be delayed any longer.

By the end of January of the third year of the reign of the Communist Party, the New Year was over, and the Ming army of the Shangyong generation was ready.

Shangyong gathered the people of the two towns of the right army of Shence and the rear army of Shence, with Hao Shaoqi as the main commander, Wang Yun as the deputy general, and Zhang Jiayu as the supervising army, known as 100,000, and was about to attack Hanzhong.

In January of the third year of the reign of the Communist Party, the governor He Tengjiao issued an order in Luzhou Xingyuan, summoning the generals and main officials of the southwest to discuss matters in southern Sichuan.

Officials from Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, after taking care of the affairs of various provinces, immediately rushed to Luzhou.

He Tengjiao chose the place of the meeting, not in the city, but in the north of the city of Sanhua Mountain, there is an ancient temple built in the Song Dynasty on the mountain, the temple for the Buddha, there are "eighteen Arhats", "Yin Cao Yama twelve halls".

The scenery on the mountain is handsome, climb and look up at the peaks, insert the clouds high, overlook the river city, the houses are like scales, the scenery is very good, there is the Biyun Guanyuan Road at the lower left of the temple, there are mountain rocks in the view, there are deep holes in the rocks, it is said that it is the refuge place of the residents in the past, there is a manor built on the right side of the temple, it is the resting place of many officials.

He Tengjiao chose to discuss matters here, which is to engage in corruption and privileges, similar to later generations, while holding meetings, recuperating, and playing, just like Jiang Gong in Lushan and Mao Gong in Beidai River.

At this time, many officials played on the top of the mountain, and soldiers were all over the mountain, guarding the safety of officials and generals.

In a burst of laughter, He Tengjiao and Zhongguan climbed to the top of the mountain, only to see the ancient temple solemn, the pines and cypresses towering to the sky, overlooking Luzhou City, surrounded by two rivers, the houses are like scales, and the scenery is very good.

Listening to the sound of the bell in the ancient temple, everyone forgot about fatigue and worldly entanglement, and was intoxicated by the mountains and rivers.

After a while, everyone came to a pavilion in the ancient temple, and there was a curved sink in the middle of the pavilion, which must have been the place where the literati and writers of the previous generation chanted poems and had fun.

After walking a little tired, He Tengjiao remembered what was going on, so he asked everyone to discuss in the pavilion. He Tengjiao sat on the main seat, and the rest of the officials and generals were divided into civil and military officials and sat down according to their ranks.

"This time I summoned you to discuss the matter, one is the governor of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan, many of you are from the imperial court, and they have only recently been sent here, and this cabinet will take this opportunity to get acquainted with you, and in the future, we will work together to pass through the southwest." He Tengjiao opened loudly first.

The imperial court has recovered Yunnan and is about to recover Sichuan, and these places need to be managed by officials, such as Wu Daozheng, the political envoy of Yunnan, and Zhou Zhiwei, the political envoy of Sichuan, are all new factions of the imperial court, and they are all people from Yangzhou.

Several new officials gave He Tengjiao a bow, saying that they would definitely listen to the leadership of the superintendent in the future.

He Tengjiao nodded when he saw this, and then said: "In addition, it is mainly Wu Jinxi, the governor of Huguang, who sent someone to inform the governor, saying that according to the will of the imperial court, Huguang has made preparations, and will start attacking Hanzhong at the end of January. ”

The southwest officials present were a little surprised, the imperial court had transported a large number of supplies to the southwest before, and they thought that they would wait for their side to start a war on the Huguang side, but they didn't want to be snatched by Huguang to the front.

Now at the beginning of February, Li Dingguo heard that the direction of Huguang had moved, and immediately stood up, "Supervisor, count the time Huguang has already started." ”

"Governor Wu said it was the end of January, so it should be the end of January!" He Tengjiao pondered, "What do you think of Dingguo?" ”

Li Dingguo clenched his fists and said: "Supervisor, the Huguang Theater has always been strong, and it is the place where the elite of our dynasty gathers, if they attack Hanzhong, it will put huge pressure on the Jin State, and the last general is worried that the Jin army in Sichuan may escape." ”

Chuan Fufan was stunned, and immediately began to say: "Haoge asked Prime Minister Wu Sangui to Sichuan and Hanzhong, but in the past few months, the Jin State does not seem to have increased troops to Sichuan, and the lower officials agree with the idea of Dingguo, maybe Wu Sangui wants to abandon Sichuan and protect Han." ”

Li Dingguo took over the conversation and said, "Supervisor, at the end of last year, His Royal Highness the King of Chu had an explanation that the imperial court's support for the southwest will decrease in the future, which indicates that our Yunguichuan will rely on our own strength to fight against the Jin State for a long time, so the general thinks that this battle must be eliminated as soon as possible and as much as possible." In this way, when we face Jin Guo again in the future, we can be more relaxed. ”

He Tengjiao nodded when he heard this, "What you said is reasonable, in case the Jin army wants to abandon Sichuan and protect Han and shrink its forces to the Hanzhong area, it will be a great threat to us." Now that Huguang has already taken action, we must also take action immediately. ”

Zhou Zhiwei, the newly appointed political envoy of Sichuan, also came out to speak at this time: "Supervisor, since you want to fight, the lower officials hope that all departments will move faster. It's already February, and Xiaguan hopes to end the war before the spring ploughing, so that this year we can plant two crops in the Chengdu Plain and achieve self-sufficiency in grain. ”

Fighting a war is to burn money and consume grain, without strong capital, no one can fight, since the imperial court will reduce its support for the southwest in the future, then He Tengjiao can only rely on self-sufficiency.

This variety of temptations in one season means hundreds of thousands of stone grains, which makes He Tengjiao more tempting than the elimination of the Jin Army.

At present, the whole meeting revolved around how to quickly recover the whole of Sichuan, how to deal with the aftermath, and how to restore Sichuan.
