Chapter 188: The Book of War, Wang Yingxiong
Li Chengen's face has long been gone, Mu Na stupid look, like a pervert who has seen a beautiful woman, tightly grasping the bamboo tube to extinguish the bomb, as a treasure, full of excitement, the pockmarks on his face are shaking one by one, but the skin is very white, with the moving pockmarks look very wrong.
Take a closer look at those pockmarks, you will see, those are not actually pockmarks, but shallow pits, pits inlaid on the face, but anyone who often shoots birds has this kind of pits on their faces, this is because when aiming and shooting, as long as the face is seriously aimed at the face, the bird's beak clip knocks on the fire door, sparks splash, it is inevitable that it will splash on the face, burning the skin to form a small pit, so look at a bird is unqualified, just look at his face to understand, the pit must be a veteran, on the contrary, it is a mediocre hand who messes around.
Zu Bian's face also has many pits, but there are still very few faces like Li Chengen, which also reflects from one side that Li Chengen is indeed a firearms expert.
Li Chengen couldn't sit still, and he twisted around like a needle on his buttocks, Wang Huan saw that he was uncomfortable, and simply didn't wait for the meeting to end, so he sent a team of soldiers, with his own handwritten general order, led Li Chengen directly to Shizhu Wanshou City to find Xu Tiezhu, and at the same time strictly ordered Meng Zhiyu to gather 500 blacksmiths in the three mansions in eastern Sichuan within ten days and move into Wanshou City, so as Li Chengen's craftsmen to set up a military war bureau.
Li Chengen rushed away, taking the extinguishing bullet in his arms.
At this time, more than half a month has passed since the peace talks, Zhang Xianzhong's war around Chengdu has come to an end, and the local militia armed forces organized by the small landlords and big rich people will not last long under the attack of the superior peasant army.
Under the terrifying killing, the chaos in central Sichuan and western Sichuan will soon calm down, and the Onishi regime will not spend much effort to look east to Chongqing Mansion, Zeng Ying has been destroyed, how do the newly rising Kuizhou generals look like a soft persimmon, with Zhang Xianzhong's person, he will definitely kill him as soon as possible.
However, Wang Huan remembered one thing, in the middle of November this year, that is, on the tenth day of this month, Zhang Xianzhong would do a major event that people and gods were angry about, and after this matter was completed, he would go east with an army to find his own trouble.
This thing is to borrow the Kaike to take the scholars, the slaughter, slaughter the Sichuan scholars, his Kaienke is different from the previous dynasties, is forced to others to come, if the local scholars do not come, there will be soldiers to come to the door to raid the family and exterminate the clan, even if you escape, Zhang Xianzhong believes that the reason why Sichuan has not been able to calm down for a long time, is not because the Great Western Army is not benevolent, but Sichuan scholars are deeply influenced by the sage book, bewitching the people to rebel, the root of the bane is the reader, so wait until the whole Sichuan scholar arrives in Chengdu, live in the Dabei Temple, and then close the door, Thousands of people were directly killed, this is the famous "Blood Splattered Great Compassion Temple" in history.
As long as this matter is born, the day when Zhang Xianzhong will send troops is not far away, and what is more serious is that according to the history exhibition, at the latest next March, when the spring is warm, the Haoge Department of the Qing Dynasty will go south from Shaanxi through Hanzhong, Li Zicheng's subordinate He Zhen Xianzhong surrendered in Hanzhong, Zhang Xianzhong killed his wife and went north to resist the Qing Dynasty, and finally died in Phoenix Mountain.
That is to say, before the Manchu Qing Dynasty went south, it was necessary to occupy Hanzhong, the gateway to Sichuan, hold the Golden Bull Road, and block the road of Haoge's march with the dangerous Shuzhong passes, otherwise with Wang Huan's current strength, once the Qing army commander drove straight to Chongqing, the pressure would be too great.
The time left for Wang Huan was less than half a year, whether he should seize the time to immediately organize the army to attack Chengdu, Wang Huan was undecided.
At present, the east of Sichuan is not stable, and the myriad things are enough to make people's heads big, the bandits in the mountains have not yet been cleared, and the intricate families are still waiting, and the power of the wealthy families like the Fengjie Tan family should not be underestimated, and a fire will break out in the backyard if you are not careful, after all, the three mansions in eastern Sichuan are not as big as the stone pillar Tusi, the place and the population.
Wang Huan raised for a long time, and finally made a decision, transferred Xu Tiezhu and Zhang Cheng from the stone pillar, handed over Wanshou City to Qin Liangyu to manage, and handed over all the mines and workshops to her, freeing up forces to concentrate on the three mansions in eastern Sichuan.
To his stepmother Qin Liangyu, Wang Huan was unconditionally assured.
And Meng Zhiyu, Xu Tiezhu, and Zhang Cheng, each of whom is responsible for a government, is responsible for the affairs of the prefect, recruits troops on the spot to form a regiment for training, builds a city for self-protection, and exterminates bandits and thieves, among which Meng Zhiyu is in Chongqing Mansion, Xu Tiezhu is in Kuizhou Mansion, and Zhang Cheng is in Xuzhou Mansion, and Meng Zhiyu is placed in Chongqing Mansion, where the situation is the most severe, is to value his ability, and Xu Tiezhu is in the relatively safe and stable Kuizhou Mansion, which is to exercise his ability.
Wang Huan himself stayed in Hezhou, which was close to Shunqing Mansion, while training and reorganizing the army, while waiting for the opportunity.
Since Zhang Xianzhong wants to kill the scholar, let him kill it, offend the scholars of the whole Sichuan, and the sky is angry and resentful, so he can take advantage of the weakness and make a righteous teacher who acts for the heavens, so as to win the hearts of the people to the greatest extent. Just take advantage of this time to reorganize and train the newly recruited soldiers.
Wang Huan now has a total of 9,000 regular soldiers, 3,000 Shizhu veterans, 3,000 soldiers recruited from Kuizhou, and 3,000 Zeng Ying's soldiers screened in Chongqing.
After listening to the opinions of Ma Xintian and Zu Bian, Wang Huan selected three new commanders from the 100 captains of Shizhu veterans, named Ma Zuoheng, Zhang Jianchun and Liu Li.
Ma Xintian emphasized the recommendation of Zhang Jianchun, and praised him: "This person is the son of Zhang Ling, the deputy general of Sichuan back then, Zhang Ling is known as the crossbow general, the divine power is amazing, the arrow is like a god, but unfortunately died in the hands of Zhang Xianzhong, his son fled to the stone pillar, attached to the Lord Qin, and Zhang Zongbing was as powerful as he was back then, with extraordinary arm strength, and the courage of ten thousand people, adults can deliberately pay attention." ”
Wang Huan then met the three of them, and sure enough, they were all generals with outstanding martial arts and more than calm, especially Zhang Jianchun, who was in his twenties, dignified in appearance, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, at first glance, he was born in a family of military generals, and the crossbow he used was several sizes larger than the mountain destroying crossbow, and the bowstring strength was three stones, which was still his father's relic.
So Wang Huan handed over the three thousand troops composed of Kuizhou soldiers to the three of them to serve as the thousand generals, and the three thousand soldiers collected by the Chongqing government were brought back to the stone pillars and handed over to Qin Liangyu to polish and then return to the team.
Wang Huan put all the 6,000 people in his hands in Hezhou, released Chen Xiang's spy team, and disguised himself as all kinds of people to infiltrate Chengdu, taking precautions for the military action in the near future.
Just as various affairs were in full swing, a messenger came from Kuizhou Mansion and brought a letter from Xu Tiezhu.
Wang Huan Zhanxin looked at it, and his brows furrowed.
Xu Tiezhu said in the letter that Wang Yingxiong, the military governor of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, went to Kuizhou Mansion to see Wang Huan.
"Wang Yingxiong? Didn't he hide in Zunyi? What is he here for? ”
