Chapter 495: Five Critical Matters

At this time, even if he was anxious and wanted to have a result, Yang Lin could accept his suggestion, but seeing that Yang Lin changed the topic without the slightest attitude, Bailihe did not continue to entangle, and replied directly: "Hmm... Marshal Yang, according to what I have seen and heard, and in my opinion, there should be five most urgent things to face in the future. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"Oh... I don't know which five? How could there be so many? Yang Lin asked at the right time, and he was interested.

"First, after the overthrow of the Qing court, the remnants of the Qing soldiers in various places are not to worry, the only hidden worry is the White Lotus Sect in the southwest, if they accept the change, it is best, once they want to fight, become a king, and stand on their own, it will be the biggest hidden danger of the imperial court, and there will inevitably be a big war to fight, which is inevitable."

"Second, it is the threat from the north, the red hairs north of the Guanwai, when the Kangqian era was prosperous, those barbarians still invaded the land of China, not to mention that it happened when the old and new dynasties were replaced, the world was in ruins, the people's livelihood was withering, and my China was the weakest? Once the news of the destruction of the Qing court reaches the north, Russia will definitely attack with its whole army and invade China. ”

"Third, it is the westernmost part of India, west of Tibet, where it is a British colony, and all along, whether it is the sea in the southeast, the coastal waters of Guangdong, or Tibet, the British are eyeing Tibet and want to get their hands on Tibet. Not only that, the British have always been eye-to-eyed with the Russians, coveting the Xinjiang region in northwest China, and trying to collude with the Turkic elements in Xinjiang to separate Xinjiang. ”

"Fourth, it is the land south of China, Annam, although over the years, Annam has been in turmoil and the situation is unstable, however, when I left, the regime of Annam was gradually unified and returned to the rule of Nguyen Phuc Anh....."

At this moment, Yang Lin suddenly interrupted Bailihe's words and interjected suspiciously: "Mr. Baili, since you also said that in recent years, Annan has been in turmoil, and the situation is unstable, it is expected that the domestic situation in Annan is also withering. Taking a step back, even if the domestic situation in Annam is acceptable, however, Nguyen Phuc Anh has just taken power, and the people are not in harmony, and he has not yet fully mastered the full range of force, so his foundation is not yet solid. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Lin paused, looked straight at Baili River, and looked at the inquiry.

"Yes, Marshal, that's right, you're right." Bailihe immediately understood, nodded slightly, and said approvingly.

"Okay, in this case, there are many unstable factors in Annan, and to be able to unify Annan, presumably Ruan Fuying is not a fool, there are many unstable factors in Annan, in this case, how can you judge that he will lead troops to invade my Guangxi?"

In one sentence, it pointed to the crux of the problem, but in the face of Yang Lin's sudden sharp words, Bailihe did not panic, let alone hesitate, and replied like a stream: "Marshal Yang, do you know that in the second year of Jiaqing, Nguyen Phuc Anh once went to Emperor Jiaqing, hoping to change the name of Annan to South Vietnam." ”

"If you change your name, you will change your name, what does this have to do with Ruan Fuying's desire to invade Guangxi?" One of the generals asked suddenly, a little impatient.

At this time, Bailihe was not angry because he was interrupted, and just wanted to explain, but Yang Lin said: "As soon as I heard it, I knew that you kid didn't know history, so he would ask such a stupid question." ”

The general suddenly showed embarrassment, scratched his head, was very puzzled, and said in a sneered voice: "I still hope that the marshal will give me some advice, but my subordinates really don't understand the Tao." ”

As if hating iron but not steel, Yang Lin was a little speechless, but seeing the other party like this, his attitude was very low, and he didn't have the coquettishness of the past, so he didn't accuse again, but continued to explain.

"In ancient South Vietnam, including the current Guangdong, Guangxi, and most of Yunnan, so once Nguyen Phuc Anh was crowned the king of South Vietnam and the country of Annam was renamed South Vietnam, if there was any emergency in the future, Nguyen Phuc Anh wanted to send troops to occupy Guangdong and Guangxi, and there would be a reason to send troops."

"So, just this point, you can judge that Ruan Fuying has the ambition to attack, do you understand?"

"Understood, Marshal." The general honestly agreed, and then did not dare to say anything more, and sat there quietly.

Yang Lin didn't pay any attention to the general, turned his head to look at Baili River, and said loudly: "Mr. Baili, please continue, please talk about the last thing." ”

A word of invitation made the Baili River like a breeze, because, unconsciously, Yang Lin's attitude has changed a lot, standing up for himself, scolding the general, and then now his words are polite, respectful as a guest.

Even so, there is such a feeling in his heart, but Bailihe's face is still as usual, and he looks slightly flattered, just to let Yang Lin have a sense of achievement, just this, it can be seen that Bailihe has a seven-trick exquisite heart.

Yang Lin and Bailihe looked at each other and smiled faintly, Bailihe didn't wait any longer, heard Yang Lin's words, and said loudly: "As for the last thing, it is also the most important, it is the most important of the five things, especially powerful." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the original listening was more attentive and attached, and the rhythmic narration of the Baili River further exaggerated the atmosphere and became quieter.

Seeing this situation, Bailihe's heart moved, such an atmosphere was exactly what he wanted, and he saw his slightly magnetic voice sound again, and said: "After the world is decided, no matter who wins or loses, it is bound to bring great disasters to the common people, and there will be many refugees, whether they want to or not, believe it or not, this situation will definitely occur." ”

"If there is a war, there will be displacement, orphans, widows, old and weak women and children, living in poverty, a large amount of fertile land will be wasted, the number of people will be sharply reduced, and it will be difficult to recover without 10 to 20 years of birth and rest."

At this time, Chao Sheng, who had been speechless, suddenly broke the silence and interjected: "Mr. Baili, presumably, you want the marshal to accept the surrender of the Qing soldiers as much as possible, and there is no shortage of reasons for this~?" ”

"Hmm~" Bailihe nodded slightly, he didn't expect to be able to get the approval of this army commander, when he came into contact with Huo Xiong, he still had some understanding of the structure of Yang Lin's army, anyone with a dragon-shaped button on his shoulder was a general, a dragon button was a major general, two were lieutenant generals, three were generals, four were generals, and five were generals.

Baili He just wanted to say something in response to Chao Sheng's words, when Li Qingyuan suddenly said, "Hey... This general, what you said is right, Brother Baili is thinking about this, not to mention anything else, the hometown of the two of us, Yunnan and Sichuan, after so many years of war, the White Lotus Sect and the Qing court fought each other, not only caused heavy deaths on both sides, but also caused the population of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Chu and the surrounding areas to drop sharply, and a large amount of wasteland. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qingyuan showed a sad look, tears glistened in his eyes, sniffed, and returned to normal, his voice was still slightly choked.

"As the war between the White Lotus Sect and the Qing army entered a stalemate, more and more people died, and there were many no-man's lands in some places in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Chu, even if there were still some people in some villages, but there were also some old and weak women and children, who could not stay away from the war, and could only wait for death."

At this moment, Li Qingyuan looked at Yang Lin, his eyes showed a look of joy, his tone changed, and he said: "Marshal Yang, at the beginning, the two of us had no intention of defecting to you, let alone having any intention of serving under you. ”

"Along the way, I have seen too many suffering people, however, entering the area that Marshal Yang said to occupy, it made the two of us refreshed and brightened, although the treatment of those local tyrants and landlords was a little bloody, and the treatment of those Manchus was a little cruel, but the treatment of ordinary people can be described as rare in ancient times, excellent!"

"Therefore, after seeing those measures and policies for the benefit of the people, they are not just implemented in one place, so the two of us have made up our minds and joined the command of Marshal Yang, hoping that you can unify the world and let the people live a good life."

Suddenly, Li Qingyuan felt a weight on his shoulder, someone patted his shoulder, and saw Baili River smiling at him, only then did he realize that he was a little out of shape, too emotional, and with a slightly embarrassed look, he said: "Hehe, talking and talking, I have deviated from the topic, let's let Brother Baili continue to speak~!" ”

At this time, Bailihe's expression was relaxed, his confidants intersected, and he could feel the emotional waves in Li Qingyuan's heart, so he didn't be polite anymore, took over the topic, and then said: "Hehe, as Brother Li said, Marshal Yang has implemented a lot of areas in the occupied areas, which has greatly reduced the impact of the war on people's livelihood. ”

"Therefore, if these measures can be spread throughout the country, and then some grain relief is mobilized to help poor areas, crack down on those rich people, local tyrants and shoddy gentry, and those unscrupulous traders who hoard grain, and draw out part of the grain as military supplies, and distribute the rest to the nearby people, it is completely able to help those people who have just experienced the baptism of war to tide over the difficulties, as long as there is a harvest after one season, the people's life will be better and better."

At this time, the general who spoke first interjected again: "Of course, it only takes one season for those people to catch their breath, and our marshal has long thought of these things. Otherwise, when the army marches and fights, the marshal will not specifically instruct us to do everything possible to avoid damage to the farmland. ”

Hearing this, Baili He breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly, no wonder after entering the occupied area, along the way, it was rare to see the farmland being affected, and for a while, he surrendered to Yang Lin even more, and became more and more glad about his decision.

During the conversation, everyone got along more and more harmoniously, without the feeling of rustiness at the beginning, Yang Lin finally summed it up and said: "When overthrowing the Qing court, at the same time, various policies will be implemented, even if the enemy from three sides is attacking, it can be dealt with calmly, as for the White Lotus Sect in the southwest, it is just some loosely disciplined rebel army, the number is not more than Erer, to deal with them, it is not easy to deal with them, and they can be solved easily!" ”
