Among the people, only Shi Fu is from Fujian, so he has naturally heard of the name of the wolf soldiers in Guangxi. And Qin Zhan and Feng Ting are both from Nanzhili, and they really haven't heard of such an army in Guangxi.

Zhang Ying slowly explained to everyone what a wolf soldier is.

The so-called Guangxi wolf soldiers are armed forces formed by large and small Tusi entrenched in Guangxi. The wolf soldiers in Guangxi are mainly warriors of the Zhuang, Yao, and Dong ethnic groups, mainly from Donglan, Nadi, Nandan, Guishun and other places in Guangxi.

These wolf soldiers don't do farm work, nor do they fish and hunt, they just carry their heads in their hands on weekdays. When the government and wealthy businessmen were hired, they relied on the financial support of the government and wealthy businessmen to live. If there is no one to hire him, he will plunder everywhere to meet the needs of life.

The Ming Dynasty has always had a tradition of recruiting wolf soldiers to fight, resisting the Japanese during the Jiajing period, quelling the rebellions of Yao and Dong, and even Yuan Chonghuan took thousands of Guangxi wolf soldiers with him when he went north.

These wolf soldiers are so brave and ruthless, and their combat power is really not weak. In addition, it is an organization with one Tusi as a unit, and the number is really quite a lot, and if all the wolf soldiers in all parts of Guangxi are assembled, there will be at least one or two hundred thousand.

The Guangxi wolf soldiers are really a military force to be reckoned with in the south.

Qin Zhan thought that the officials in Guangdong had no way to escape, but he never thought that such a possible powerful reinforcement would suddenly come out, and said in a deep voice, "If we conquer Guangdong and don't invade Guangxi, those Guangxi wolf soldiers will join the war?" ”

Zhang Ying explained, "The counties in the northwest of Guangxi border Guangxi, and most of them are under the jurisdiction of the same Tusi, which is also the source of wolf soldiers. Besides, Zhu Hengjia, the king of Jingjiang who ruled Guangxi, was also the king of the Ming Dynasty, and the so-called cold lips and teeth, Zhu Hengjia, and the Guangxi wolf soldiers were very likely to participate in the war. ”

Fang Yuan secretly thought behind the lobby that Zhang Ying's judgment was quite accurate, and the corrupt officials in Guangdong were cornered, and they would inevitably jump over the wall in a hurry and go to Guangxi to ask for reinforcements.

Zhu Hengjia, the king of Jingjiang, was at odds with the Longwu regime that seized Guangdong, which shows that this person was also an ambitious person. At present, the Xuanjia army in the lower plains has the potential to sweep the south, and it is unknown whether Zhu Hengjia will sit idly by and watch Guangdong fall.

In terms of Guangxi Tusi, Fang Yuan's conquest of Guangdong will affect the interests of the Zhuang, Yao, Dong and other Tusi in Guangdong, and it is also a high probability that those Guangxi Tusi will send troops to intervene.

The biggest problem in this expedition to Guangdong is not that the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but that it is necessary to strictly prevent Zhu Hengjia and Zhu Tusi from Guangxi from participating in the war.

But Qin Zhan and Fang Yuan thought of one place and asked, "Mr. Zhang, can you say that Zhu Hengjia and Guangxi Tusi will not support Guangdong?" ”

Zhu Hengjia is by no means a live **, and he will not pay for Guangdong for no reason. Although the wolf soldiers are an ethnic minority and have less reading, they are not brain-dead, and they must have a plan for the corrupt officials in Guangdong.

Zhang Ying said, "As far as I know, Zhu Hengjia is greedy for money and lustful, and if you want to move him to withdraw from the army, it is estimated that there will only be silver and women." The Tusi of Guangxi has always been eyeing several prefectures and counties inhabited by Yao and Dong people in Lianzhou, Gaozhou, and Zhaoqing in Guangdong, and has long wanted to take it for himself. If these states and counties can be ceded as bait, it is estimated that these Guangxi Tusi will not send troops. ”

Qin Zhan was embarrassed and said, "Governor Fang will never agree to send a woman to buy wolf soldiers, this is not feasible. As for the silver, in order to save their lives, the corrupt officials in Guangdong will definitely not be stingy with silver, how much can we give? ”

Fang Yuan nodded secretly when he heard this, what Qin Zhan said was extremely true. Corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Guangdong are in a hurry to jump over the wall, as long as they can resist Fang Yuan entering Guangdong, it is possible to take out millions of taels of silver to bribe Zhu Hengjia, and there are also wolf soldiers in Guangxi. And the Xuanjia army's bid could never be higher than that of the corrupt officials in Guangdong.

Besides, people's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, if Guangdong and the Xuanjia army compete to curry favor with Zhu Hengjia and Guangxi Tusi, then Zhu Hengjia and his gang will inevitably sit on the ground and raise prices, extort money, and have endless troubles.

Qin Zhan suddenly asked, "Guangxi Tusi really only wants a few neighboring states and counties, and won't covet other territories?" ”

Zhang Ying replied truthfully, "Yes, as long as the Guangxi Tusi gets those prefectures and counties, they will be able to expand their territory and increase their power." As for the territory of the Han people, these barbarians only know how to fight and kill, and do not do agricultural work, and they do not know the time of farming, so it is useless to occupy the cultivated land of the Han people. ”

Qin Zhan slapped the table and said happily, "That's it." A fat pig without sharp claws and teeth to hire a hungry wolf as a thug to keep his wealth is just a fool's dream. Such fat pigs are usually only the target of tigers and hungry wolves. ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what his fat pig, tiger, and hungry wolf had to say, what was the strategy to break the enemy.

Qin Zhan said loudly, "I will arrange for a secret envoy to inform Zhu Hengjia, the king of Jingjiang, if Guangdong really sends someone to invite wolf soldiers to enter Guangdong to fight, we and the king of Jingjiang do not have to kill each other, both will be defeated, and agree to divide the corrupt officials, the daughters of rich businessmen, and the family wealth equally." The gold, silver, and women that the King of Jingjiang received were by no means less than those who worked for the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Guangdong, and he could avoid huge losses in the war with our army, so he would definitely fulfill his promise. ”

"And those Guangxi toasts, they want a few states and counties to give them, and the purpose of the boss is just to strictly guard the port near the sea to prevent smuggling out of the country. Those inland states and counties are useless, they can take it if they want! ”

As soon as he came out with this method, the generals applauded in unison, and the two families in Guangxi directly divided the family wealth of those fat pigs in Guangdong, and then threw out some barbarian settlements that were already difficult to govern, which can not only avoid battlefield losses, but also brush up military merits and promotions, which is simply to obtain the greatest victory at the minimum cost, why not?

Even Fang Yuan nodded secretly when he heard this, he had decided to appoint Qin Zhan as the governor of Minguang before, but he still didn't know the bottom in his heart, and what he reported was the idea of taking one step at a time. Seeing that Qin Zhan is clever plan is frequent, he breathed a sigh of relief, this move is finally right.

At this point, the entire military plan to capture Guangdong has been planned, and Qin Zhan agreed with the generals that he would raise troops to go to Zhenhaiwei in three days.

After the generals retreated, Qin Zhan entered the back hall and asked Fang Yuan if the military plan he had formulated was feasible. Although he was the governor of Fujian and Guangzhou, he had the power to conquer Guangdong, but since Fang Yuan was there, he had to consult Fang Yuan before he could make a decision.

Fang Yuan had already understood all the plans in the back hall, and he was nine points satisfied with Qin Zhan's performance this time, and the only thing he was not satisfied with was the states and counties that were ceded out, "Fourth! Ceding those prefectures and counties to Guangxi Tusi is to raise a trouble. Once those toasts are strong, they are even more difficult to control. ”

Qin Zhan said, "Boss, those states and counties where birds don't are all inhabited by barbarians, and they can't be effectively governed now. Our most important enemies are the imperial court, and the Manchus beyond the Great Wall, not these barbarians in the south who have not been able to become a climate for thousands of years. When the boss frees up his hands to conquer Guangxi in the future, it will be enough to fight back from a few states and counties. ”

Fang Yuan was also justified when he heard it, anyway, these toasts in Guangxi will also be recovered in the future. At present, cutting a few states and counties to those Guangxi toasts, the meat is rotten in the pot, and it can't escape to the sky. There are priorities and priorities for the reunification of the world, and we must not go to war with the ethnic minorities in the north and south at the same time.

first did the capital court, Li Zicheng, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After the unification of the world, and then wave the army to the south, a few Guangxi Tusi occupy a few more states and counties, and the combat effectiveness will skyrocket, and the sky will not be able to?

Fang Yuan also approved Qin Zhan's plan to give away several prefectures and counties to Guangxi Tusi, "Fourth, this battle will be handed over to you." After the capture of Guangdong, our brothers drank the wine of celebration again! ”
