CHAPTER XXXV

After some encouragement to several of his subordinates, everyone's mood was obviously much more excited.

Qin Mu saw it in his eyes, and secretly happy in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, over the years, we have accumulated wealth through various channels and methods, accumulated military expenses, grain and grass, built ordnance, and recruited troops, in order to make a big move one day. Originally, the court was weak, the rogues were raging, and there were Manchu Qing people outside the gate, and my good cousin Ji Siyuan frequently made stupid moves, which was a good time for us to do something. ”

"It's just that I didn't expect a river to appear out of thin air, this guy seemed to fall from the sky, and it took less than two years to rise rapidly, destroy the Manchu Dynasty, defeat Li Zicheng, and subdue the Zheng family, and also clean up the rampant Japanese pirates on the sea in one fell swoop, so that this troubled world has not really been chaotic and calmed down, which is really hateful. However, these are all appearances, and if we do something, there is still a great opportunity. ”

A man was puzzled: "Your Highness, this Jiangchuan has basically pacified the world except for Zhang Xianzhong in Shuzhou, and he has millions of soldiers and horses, how can we defeat him?" ”

Qin Mu was silent and looked at another white-faced man. Although this person is burly, he is wearing a Confucian shirt and looks like a scholar.

The white-faced Confucian touched the three strands of long beard under his chin and smiled slightly: "Qi Heihu, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other." I only know the surface, but I don't know the reason. ”

Qi Heihu said with a smile: "Strategist, I am a rough person, I can only charge into battle, this kind of brain-wielding work is yours." You give us an analysis.

The white-faced Confucian looked at Qin Mu, Qin Mu nodded and smiled: "The military advisor will analyze it for your brothers, and I also want to hear the wonderful arguments of the military advisor." ”

"Your Highness praises falsely. Since His Royal Highness has a life, then he will dare to sacrifice ugliness and make words to lead the jade. The white-faced Confucian touched his long beard and said with a smug smile.

"You all know that Jiangchuan is rising very fast, and it can rise from Liaodong in just two years, destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty, defeat the Liukou, suppress the Japanese Kou, and collect the Zheng family, which looks majestic and unstoppable, but you must know that this is his biggest advantage, but it is also his biggest disadvantage."

Speaking of this, he deliberately stopped, and seeing that everyone was listening carefully, he smiled slightly and continued:

Why is this his biggest weakness? The so-called speed is not reached, the rise of the river is too fast, every place, every city, all are to suppress people with force, forcibly suppressed by force, although those people show surrender and obedience, but their hearts are naturally unwilling to be convinced, so there is resentment in the heart, this is also.

Moreover, after Najiang Chuan entered the capital, he imprisoned the emperor, killed ministers indiscriminately, and proclaimed himself the regent. Moreover, he also abolished gold and silver, introduced paper money, and implemented a lot of tyranny and evil policies, both the court ministers and the common people have long been resentful of him, but he is now in the limelight, and no one dares to compete with him. This is also the second.

Moreover, he also used troops everywhere and recruited troops on a large scale, resulting in an empty treasury, a heavy tax burden on the people, and even more resentment in his heart. Although his soldiers and horses looked overwhelming, most of them were rabble, poorly trained, and were not vulnerable at all. This is also the third. ”

Seeing that everyone was in admiration, the white-faced Confucian smiled smugly and made a final conclusion: "Therefore, this Jiang Chuan looks invincible in the world, but in fact, there are loopholes everywhere. Now that the emperor Ji Siyuan is imprisoned by Jiang Chuan and is powerless to save himself, the people and subjects of the world hope that someone can stand up and expel that Jiang Chuan and welcome back the Ji family, after all, the Ji family has been a royal family for more than 200 years, and it is the orthodoxy in the hearts of the people and subjects.

At this time, as long as His Royal Highness waved his arms and played the banner of Qingjun's side and killing the traitor Jiang Chuan in the name of the royal family, the world will definitely shake at that time, and the people will gather, whether it is the government and the opposition or the people, there will be a steady stream of people coming to join His Highness. At that time, the river is weak, and the people who rebel and leave their relatives will have only one way to be defeated. ”

Seeing that everyone was excited and intoxicated when they heard this, the white-faced Confucian stroked the three strands of long beard under his chin, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and said reservedly: "In the next shallow opinion, I don't know what Your Highness and you think?" ”

Qin Mu clapped his hands and exclaimed: "The military advisor is from a commanding height, with a unique vision, a detailed analysis, and profound insights, which is really admirable. ”

The others also praised one after another: "The military advisor is really a military advisor, as soon as I said these few words, I originally thought that Jiangchuan was difficult to deal with, but now that you say this, I feel that the guy is nothing more than that." ”

"Exactly, the military advisor's words are so good that I feel that our major event will definitely succeed. His Royal Highness's ascension to the throne as emperor is just around the corner. “

"When the time comes, we will be the ministers of the dragon, the founding of the country. When the time comes, I will marry a seventeen or eighteen wife, sleep one every night, and have a lot of sons to play. ”

"With your body, aren't you afraid of being sucked dry by those seventeen or eighteen women? If it's me, if you can't handle it, my old horse can help. Hahaha......"

Looking at the excited subordinates, Qin Mu was secretly happy in his heart, and gave the white-faced Confucian a look of appreciation.

The white-faced Confucian smiled reservedly, and gave him a look I understand you, Qin Mu was frightened, and hurriedly turned his eyes, and restarted a topic and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the military advisor has analyzed the situation so thoroughly, let's discuss when to do something. General Ma, how are the cavalry preparations on your side now? ”

General Nama was the one who just said that he wanted to help others share his wife, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "Tell Your Highness, now we have a thousand cavalry, of which 300 are iron armor, and the remaining 700 people can only be leather armor or paper armor." Although there are different breeds of war horses, there are more than 2,000 horses, barely enough for each cavalryman to match two horses. ”

Although he had already counted it in his heart, when he heard this number, Qin Mu still twitched the corners of his eyes, and nodded: "It's hard work, the current war firearms are getting more and more powerful, and the role of cavalry is not as important as before, so a thousand people are barely enough, but we still have to step up training." ”

General Ma nodded yes, but his face was also a little embarrassed.

Qin Mu chased after another person: "General Qi, how are our musketeers preparing now?" ”

General Qi is the man named Qi Heihu who asked the question just now, and when he heard this, he said: "Your Highness, we now have about 5,000 musketeers, although each musket can have one, but the types of muskets are also varied, there are arquebuses, and flintlock muskets, and the most sophisticated ones are less than a hundred breech-loading rifled guns bought from the British and the Japanese. Moreover, we don't have a lot of ammunition, and we all play carefully during training. ”

Qin Mu's face darkened, and he twitched twice.

I didn't expect that I had worked hard for so many years to save this little possessions.

Although there was still some artillery, he didn't dare to ask again.

I'm afraid that if I ask again, the little passion that everyone has just mustered has been hit, although these people are all confidants and loyal to themselves, but they still can't be hit like this.

At this time, a person hurriedly walked in from outside, his face nervous: "Your Highness, the government has posted a notice that the eldest prince will be beheaded in three days." ”
