Kunming, because the palace of Wuhua Mountain has not yet been built, Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang portable queen temporarily resides in the palace of Qianguo.

Late at night, the drums outside had been beaten several times, and Zhu Youlang had not yet gone to bed, but was in a daze looking at the letter on the imperial case in the study.

In addition to the several recitals just sent by the cabinet, there is also a recital sent by the university scholar Wen Anzhi from Sichuan.

The several pieces of music sent by the cabinet have all been drafted, and Zhu Youlang has also read them one by one, and the cabinet ministers' handling opinions are more appropriate, and the celebrant has also approved the red, Zhu Youlang has no different opinions on this, and these letters can be handed over to the six departments for disposal tomorrow.

What made Zhu Youlang in a daze was the letter from the university scholar Wen Anzhi, which was related to the situation in Sichuan.

After moving to Kunming, due to the support of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, and others, the Yongli court basically stabilized the Yunnan region, but Guizhou and western Hunan were controlled by Sun Kewang. The first is to go north to Sichuan.

Going east and Guangxi can obtain a large enough territory for the Yongli regime in the shortest possible time, and it can also get in touch with the pro-Ming forces along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, so that the Yongli court can get more soldiers, horses, money and grain support. However, the eastward march to Liangguang means that Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, must personally lead the army to go out, if there is no threat from Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo can once again wave his army to the east, but now Sun Kewang has sworn in Guiyang to conquer Li Dingguo, which makes Li Dingguo simply unable to lead his troops eastward at this time, and must stay in Kunming to deal with Sun Kewang's threat.

The king of Jin could not go east, so he had to give up the strategy of going east to the east and Guangzhou. After repeated weighing, Zhu Youlang and Li Dingguo decided to send Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, to run Sichuan.

Liu Wenxiu once led his troops to pass through Sichuan, and he was very familiar with the situation in Sichuan. Therefore, he sent Wei Ningbo Gao Chengen to command 5,000 troops from Yunnan to Yazhou, Sichuan, and at the same time, another main force dispatched by him was promoted from Qi San, the general of the conquest of the left, to the prime minister of the whole Sichuan military affairs, together with the general Di Sanpin, the general of the Pingyu battalion Yang Wei, the chief soldier of the Huaiyuan battalion He Tianyun, and the general Zheng Shoubao, the chief soldier of Chongqing Tuntian, led the troops and horses to Jiading Mansion.

Liu Wenxiu personally led his troops to Hongya County via Jianchang, Lizhou, and Yazhou, and established the Shu Wangfu in Qianqiuping in the county to unify the command of the Sichuan Ming army.

Qi Sansheng, Di Sanpin, and Yang Wu were all generals of the former Great Western Army, and their subordinates each had more than 10,000 men, and all three of them also supported the Yongli Imperial Court. In addition, Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, was second only to Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo in prestige among the generals of the former Great Western Army, so he commanded the war in Sichuan. Both Zhu Youlang and Li Dingguo were optimistic, believing that Liu Wenxiu's dispatch to Sichuan should be a great achievement.

However, Wen Anzhi, a scholar who had been in central Sichuan for several years, said that the imperial court should not send Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, to send troops through Sichuan at this time.

Wen Anzhi believes that the biggest enemy of the current imperial court is Sun Kewang and his army. If the king of Shu leads the army into Sichuan, it is bound to be stationed too far from Yunnan, lest Sun Kewang turn against introvert and fail to rescue.

Again. The king of Shu led a large army into Sichuan, and he had to choose social production with less destruction. Basically, the area where the Ming army's food and salary can be solved on the spot, which is destined to be too deep in Sichuan. Only by solving the source of food and salary, the army of the king of Shu can gradually advance to Chengdu and Chongqing without worries, so as to achieve the strategic plan of attacking Baoning in the north, uniting the thirteen families in the east and fighting in Hubei.

The current situation is that Sun Kewang has not threatened to go in the rear, and the king of Shu will lead a large army into Sichuan, once Sun Kewang enters Yunnan. For the sake of safety, the court must recall the King of Shu and his army. In this way, the king of Shu entered Sichuan this time of little significance, and it was a waste of money, food and manpower.

In the recital, Wen Anzhi repeatedly stressed that the imperial court must consider the matter of entering Sichuan after Sun Kewang's threat was removed.

At the same time, Wen Anzhi comforted Emperor Yongli, saying that although Wu Sangui's troops stationed in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province, had arrived in Baoning to join forces with Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army would not be able to capture Sichuan in a short time. In order to prove his judgment, Wen Anzhi sent a seized letter to Kunming, the political envoy of the Qing Sichuan Zuobu, Zhuang Yinghui and Shu.

In this letter sent to Beijing, Zhuang Yinghui mentioned that the Qing army's food and salary in Sichuan depended entirely on Shaanxi, and the total amount of money and grain collected by the Qing army in northern Sichuan and the corner of Sichuan was more than 5,150 taels per year, and the salaries of civil officials totaled more than 8,000 taels of silver per year, which was less than enough to cover the annual salaries of all officials.

Wen Anzhi believes that it is precisely because of the difficulty of food and salary that Wu Sangui and Li Guohan's troops not only did not take advantage of the victory to go south after defeating the army of Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, in the Battle of Baoning, but only left Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan, to stay in Baoning, and the whole army returned to Hanzhong, Shaanxi to find food. Although the Qing Sichuan Governor advocated Hao Yu's proposal to collect the reclamation of the Chengdu Plain and use Shu grain to feed the Shu soldiers, in addition to the need for sufficient troops to ensure local stability, the reclamation of the deserted tuntian also required a large amount of grain, seeds, ploughing cattle, and farm tools as the foundation of the tuntian.

Although Hao Yu's proposition was feasible, the Qing court's troops and financial resources to be invested for this purpose were a bottomless pit and could not be realized at all, and now although Wu Sangui once again marched into Baoning, the problem of food and salary difficulties was still not solved, so it was impossible for the Qing army to invade Sichuan at this time.

The problem faced by the Qing army is also the problem faced by the Ming army, since both sides are trapped in money and food, Wen Anzhi is naturally inclined to the Shu Dynasty should not enter Sichuan in a big way, after all, the Qing army in Baoning has no worries, but the Yongli court has Sun Kewang's eye. Wen Anzhi asked the imperial court to immediately issue an edict to invite Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, to be a teacher.

After reading Wen Anzhi's recital repeatedly, Zhu Youlang hesitated.

Sending Liu Wangxiu, the king of Shu, into Sichuan was a major policy strategy set by him and Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, and it was also supported by the court, but now Wen Anzhi said that it was meaningless for the king of Shu to enter Sichuan, which made him very confused in his heart, and he didn't know whether Wen Anzhi's opinion was right or wrong.

If Wen Anzhi's opinion is right, then the army of the King of Shu will really lose more than it loses. The King of Jin has always assured him in front of him that he can deal with Sun Kewang's driving army, but if the King of Jin can't stop Sun Kewang's driving army, is it really necessary to summon the rescue of the King of Shu's class?

If the King of Jin is defeated, the King of Shu will be able to stop it? Can Kunming really hold on?

If Kunming can't hold on, wouldn't I have to move west again, but where can I move this time?

The painful memory of the hurried westward escape from Zhaoqing deeply hurt the young son of heaven and made his heart ache.

For countless nights, when Zhu Youlang lay on the bed and closed his eyes, he always remembered the situation when he fled from Zhaoqing, and thought of his two biological flesh and blood who had just been born and went missing-Zhu Ci, the prince of Huai, and Zhu Ci, the prince of mourning.

At that time, Yongli Junchen began to scramble to flee when the Qing army was still a hundred miles away, but because he was too panicked, Zhu Youlang forgot his two biological flesh and blood when he ran away, and when he remembered that his two sons had not yet run out, he sent someone to find him, where could he still find someone!

Zhu Youlang's cowardly escape gave the Qing army an opportunity. After Li Chengdong occupied Wuzhou, he once sent a small group of Qing troops to follow Yongli Junchen to Pingle Mansion, and then advanced to Guilin. Although the pursuing army was only more than 1,000 people, Zhu Youlang was still very frightened, did not listen to the resolute opposition of the scholar Qu Shiyun to flee from Guilin, and prepared to enter Hunan to join the warlord Liu Chengyin, who had more troops.

For this reason, Qu Shiyun was heartbroken and said in despair: "There are four people who move today, and every time they move, people's hearts will be disheartened once." Is it okay to care if people's hearts are sluggish? ”

However, Zhu Youlang, who only wanted to flee for his life, couldn't listen to such advice at all, and fled to Quanzhou at the instigation of Wang Kun, the eunuch of the celebrant and the Jinyi guard, Ma Jixiang. Qu Shiyun had no choice but to ask him to stay in Guilin, and Zhu Youlang reluctantly agreed. Out of the consideration of stabilizing people's hearts, Qu Shiyun asked Zhu Youlang not to leave Guangxi under any circumstances, even if he was temporarily stationed in Quanzhou, which is close to Hunan. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youlang was afraid of the clear tiger, and fled to Wugang in April, and never returned to Guangxi again.

Now thinking back to his cowardly actions back then, Zhu Youlang blamed himself, he was in pain, but he had no choice, because he was too afraid of the Qing army, he was afraid that he would die in the hands of the Qing army like Hongguang, Longwu, and Shaowu.

Why have I been so tormented every day since I ascended the throne?

Why did Heaven make me so troubled?

Why did God torture me so much!

I'm not reconciled, I'm going to be the master of Zhongxing!

I don't want to run anymore, I can't run anymore, King Jin, I rely on you! I will not transfer back the army of the King of Shu, I believe that the King of Jin will not disappoint me!

If the King of Jin fails, I will not run again, and I will hang myself in Kunming like the first emperor!

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of death, I'm really not afraid of death

With the sound of "horn", Zhu Youlang suddenly knocked over the cold supper, and the crisp sound of the bowl cracked alarmed the guards and internal supervisors outside, who came in in a panic, thinking that something had happened to the emperor.

"You all go out, I'm fine."

Zhu Youlang exhaled, motioned to the inner supervisor to pick up the broken bowl, raised his hand and put Wen Anzhi's recital on the left side of the imperial case, where there were all recitals that were left in the middle and not sent.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Youlang shook his head, got up and walked out.

The inner eunuch asked in a low voice, "Is the emperor going to bed?" ”

Zhu Youlang originally wanted to say that he would go to bed, but when the words came to his lips, they became: "Has the prince ever slept?" ”

The inner eunuch said cautiously: "Your Royal Highness is at the queen's mother's, I am afraid that I will sleep." ”

"Oh."

Thinking of the eldest son and second son of the lost people, Zhu Youlang's heart ached again, and he instructed the inner supervisor: "Take the lamp in front, I will go to see the queen and the prince." ”
