Niu Jinxing hugged a beautiful woman in his left hand, twisted a string of jasper carved Buddha beads in his right hand, put the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table in front of him, and the brocade couch under him was full of silk and satin.

If it is placed in the eyes of others, this is the virtue of the nouveau riche landlord, Niu Jinxing himself understands, but he just likes this virtue. When he was down, he thought that one day he would be able to have a meal with good wine and meat, but now, a meal of good wine and food can no longer satisfy his appetite.

After Li Zicheng's death, he relied on various means to stabilize the invading army from Kaifeng to Luoyang, support his cronies, bribe and execute, and control the situation in a very short time. This made him from a dispensable military advisor to a tycoon in one fell swoop, although he was nominally still the wife of Li Zicheng, in fact, within the territory under his control, he was the emperor.

Compared with Liu Zongmin, he is still politically minded, especially after purging the generals who followed Li Zicheng everywhere, he repeatedly warned his subordinates that in the past, they could rely on looting to eat, but now they can't, no matter which direction in the south, south, west, and northwest is not easy to fight, so it is necessary to guide the people to grow grain - fortunately, at this time, crops such as corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes from the south have also reached his rule, Niu Jinxing has also been paying attention to Yu Guozhen, and he also learned from Li Yankou that the yield of these crops is better than wheat and rice, Therefore, almost no effort is spared to promote. In this way, he survived the most difficult seventeen years of Chongzhen half-starved, and in the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, he was barely self-sufficient in food under his rule, and this year he obtained a good harvest.

In this case, Niu Venus can also start to pursue a little enjoyment of life - of course. It would have been better if there was no Yu Guozhen.

In the five-year reunification plan, what others saw was the demand for the small court of Jinling, but what Niu Jinxing saw was a sharp steel knife on his head. He proposed to Li Zicheng the strategy of digging the north embankment of the Yellow River to irrigate the officers and soldiers, and this matter could no longer be concealed, and according to Yu Guozhen's consistent style, he was bound to be held accountable.

Even if he gives away everything he has. It's useless, Yu Guozhen still has to settle accounts with him.

Therefore, he must protect himself. One day at a time counts as one day. So he sent Dong Xianting to Jinling and did this "Southern Capital Weekend", in order to focus Yu Guozhen's attention on the group of guys in Jinling. Reduce your stress.

"You have done a good job, Mr. Xinkui, if we can succeed, a Shangshu will be indispensable to you." After listening to Dong Xianting's experience in Jinling, Niu Jinxing nodded slowly and praised it.

"I don't deserve the praise of the Lord, the group of hypocrites in Donglin are really difficult to deal with, so things are not done neatly."

"It was neat, better than I expected. Sure enough, Donglin, a group of corrupt Confucians, and Yu Guozhen are even more incompatible. Niu Jinxing smiled.

In order to deal with Yu Guozhen, Niu Jinxing put a lot of effort into thinking about Yu Guozhen's policy, and really found an aspect for him. That is, Yu Guozhen does not reuse Confucianism. Don't look at the Confucianism used by the governors of Liangguang and Shandong in his hands, I heard that the governors of Dayuan were also from a high background, but in fact, under these governors, almost all the officials at the first level of the county order had only one background.

Yu Guozhen's Xinxiang Primary School.

This situation. Let Niu Jinxing, who is also a scholar but has failed repeatedly, alert: Yu Guozhen does not reuse Confucianism!

In this way, it also means that among Yu Guozhen's enemies, there is one who is really strong enough to fight him, and that is the Confucian scholars in the world. These people had no muskets in their hands, but they had no pens, and they did not have warships, but they had stone inkstones. More importantly, in the past, Yu Guozhen's enemies could be seen and touched by Yu Guozhen, but now, what Yu Guozhen wants to fight against is a whole class, a class that cannot be seen, touched or avoided.

There is also a whole system that cultivates this class.

It is the ferocity of the Mongols, not many years after entering the Central Plains, they still continue to carry out the imperial examination, but Yu Guozhen wants to use his Xinxiang Primary School to replace this imperial examination system, which is a rare opportunity for Niu Jinxing.

"Lord, can these people in Donglin suppress Yu Guozhen?"

While Niu Jinxing was pondering, Dong Xianting glanced at him, and then asked timidly.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say, this is not just a matter of Donglin, what Chu Party, Zhejiang Party, Kun Party, people all over the world are only afraid that they will attack in groups, if they change to someone else, they are only afraid that they will compromise. However, Yu Guozhen ...... Yu Guozhen has a gun in his hand, besides, Yu Guozhen's methods are ......"

Niu Venus said this and fell into deep thought.

Yu Guozhen's methods are often different from those of this era, and there are often unexpected tricks, so it is difficult for Niu Jinxing to judge how Yu Guozhen will respond next. Replaced him, the best means is to learn from Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, raise a big prison, kill and kill, did Zhu Yuanzhang kill Hu Weiyong really because Hu Weiyong wanted to rebel?

"Lord, there is another thing, and my subordinates don't know if it's true or false even if they hear it." Dong Xianting glanced at Niu Jinxing and said cautiously: "When my subordinates return to Luoyang, I can hear it...... Liu Zongmin's people went to Qingdao to meet Yu Guozhen. ”

"I also know about this, and his people are still from my territory, and I detained them for several days before letting them go...... Hey? Niu Jinxing didn't care at first, but gradually his expression became solemn: "You mean, Yu Guozhen has other plans?" ”

"Exactly, if you are attracted by Yu Guozhen's five-year reunification plan today, and then focus on the text of "Nandu Weekend", you want to see how Yu Guozhen responds to Confucianism's attack, but no one pays attention to what Yu Guozhen will do this winter......"

Yes, no one thought about what Yu Guozhen would do this winter.

It only took three months to recover the Jingshi, completely destroy the main force of Jianyu, and turn the great traitor Wu Sangui into a historical term. After that, Yu Guozhen threw out the so-called five-year reunification plan, and his own people also went south to Xinxiang. Coupled with the uproar of "Nandu Weekend", it seems that he will pass in this endless rip-off this winter. However, who has noticed that Yu Guozhen's troops transferred to the north to participate in the war were not withdrawn, and more importantly, Yu Guozhen originally prepared 100,000 Huaxia troops to participate in the war in the north, but in fact, only 60,000 came in handy, and 40,000 were transported after the war.

The 60,000 Huaxia troops who participated in the fierce battle are now in recuperation, but what about the 40,000 who did not participate in the battle?

Dealing with the 400,000-strong army of Jianlu and Wu Sangui's combined army, 60,000 won a big victory, so what about dealing with the Niu Jinxing forces with less than 200,000 troops?

Bull Venus jumped suddenly.

"Pass the order, all the armies in all places are on alert, beware of the surprise attack of the Huaxia army......"

As he spoke, he slammed his head hard, why was he confused by this appearance, Yu Guozhen almost didn't take the initiative to attack in the past, so he really thought that Yu Guozhen would not take the initiative to attack him?

Ming Xiu plank road secretly Chen Cang, originally Yu Guozhen's best strategy, which time did he not smile on the surface and secretly use the knife, in his five-year plan, but only said that he would be unified with the Jinling small court within five years, but he did not bear the land of Henan and Hubei under his rule, and it took five years to reunify!

His order was late.

Thirty miles northwest of Kaifeng, on the north bank of the Yellow River named Yujiadian, Tian Boguang held a knife, his face was full of arrogance. Behind him, countless soldiers of the Huaxia Army waved their flags, and the soldiers were solemn, waiting for his orders.

"Don't pose, those girls are already far away, and it's useless for you to pose again."

"It's just that you kid doesn't understand the amorous feelings." Tian Boguang scolded Gu Jiaming, and then waved his hand: "Gossip, you go, the north bank of the Yellow River will be handed over to you, and the south bank will be handed over to me, see which of us will go to Luoyang first." ”

"Needless to say, it must be me." Gu Jiaming laughed, and then turned his horse along the official road and headed towards the west bank of the Yellow River.

Tian Boguang looked at Li Qingshan in front of him: "Old Li, what did your brother just say?" ”

"It's the same as what Junzheng said, it's to see who makes the first contribution." Li Qingshan smiled and looked at Tian Boguang's gaze with a bit of affection and reverence.

At this time, Li Qingshan is no longer the eldest brother who gathers in the green forest, but a regimental leader of the Huaxia Army, just a month ago, because of his merits in the Tianjin War, he was promoted to the regimental leader and transferred to Tian Boguang's subordinates. His younger brother Li Mingshan, who became a regimental leader one step ahead of him, will enter the high-level general training class when he returns this time, leave the army to receive training for a period of time, and then begin to take charge on his own.

"Others think that we are satisfied with only destroying Jianyu, that is a big mistake, now we have enough manpower, and it is imperative to unify the world. Although our commander-in-chief is kind-hearted and wants to complete the reunification with as few casualties as possible, it is impossible not to kill at all. For the small court of Jinling, we can talk, but we have to kill a chicken to show the monkey. Tian Boguang seemed to be talking to himself, and then he waved his hand: "Engineer, build a bridge!" ”

At this time, it was a cold winter, and the Yellow River had been frozen, and it was obviously unrealistic to use ships to transport tens of thousands of soldiers. The ice on the surface of the river is thick and thin, and in some places, there is no problem for a person to walk on it, but in some places, it will crack as soon as you step on the ice.

In recent years, Yu Guozhen sent people to survey the waterways of the Yellow River, understand the situation along the coast, and know everything about where the water is not deep. Therefore, with Tian Boguang's order, from Chen Qiao, where Song Taizu launched a mutiny, to Yujiadian, where Tian Boguang is now, on the Yellow River, which is forty miles long, thousands of engineers began to build pontoon bridges with tens of thousands of people who were temporarily requisitioned.

The construction of the pontoon bridge of the Huaxia Army engineer corps is quite simple, first in the shallow place of the shore water, use a wooden row frame on the ice surface to carry out operations, lay steel bars into the ice surface as the bridgehead pillar, and then lay the wooden raft one by one, and then lay wooden planks on the wooden raft. In this way, the stress points on the ice surface are dispersed as much as possible, and even if the ice surface breaks, the raft can float on the surface of the water, so that people passing by it will not fall into the water. The professional engineers worked with the people, and their efficiency was relatively fast, and in just four hours, they had built a pontoon bridge on the ice that was enough for horse-drawn carriages to cross the river.

After the pontoon bridge was built, 20,000 soldiers of the Chinese Army went south by separate roads and crossed the Yellow River, and they swooped down on Kaifeng, a military town under the rule of Niu Jinxing, like fierce tigers! (To be continued)
