321 Shu Road is difficult
"Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky." Li Taibai's poem briefly but very vividly summarizes the difficulty of the road in Bashu Sichuan, and it is precisely because of this difficult road that Sichuan has maintained relative independence from the outside world since ancient times. ”
It's just that I have to say that the Chinese nation is the most diligent and intelligent nation in the world, even in a difficult place like Sichuan, the Chinese people have used their wisdom to develop them into a place suitable for people to walk safely.
The plank road is a special product of Sichuan roads, and for thousands of years, it is precisely by relying on this seemingly dangerous and simple plank road that it has connected the traffic inside and outside Sichuan.
Approaching the New Year, the weather is getting colder and colder, although not like in previous years, so biting cold, but also very uncomfortable, if it is the past when the world is peaceful, at this time, maybe there will be some greedy businessmen, or wanderers who are eager to return home, at this time, through the plank road to run, but these years, as the world is becoming more and more chaotic, more importantly, with Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army into Sichuan, so that the originally peaceful land of Sichuan, also fell into the war, for a while, The plank road, which used to be densely populated, was not seen at all except for a few times.
And today, on the originally desolate and quiet plank road, there were bursts of people shouting and neighing, so that the plank road finally regained a trace of popularity.
As this group of people from far to near, you can gradually see clearly, although there are not many people in this group, but there are also a lot, there are dozens of people, and more importantly, from the point of view of behavior and action, this group of people is in good order no matter what they do, as if they are trained elite soldiers, but the strange thing is that although this group of people are riding high-headed horses and carrying swords, guns and weapons, they are not wearing military uniforms, nor are they playing any flags, so they are hurrying forward.
"Brother Dingguo, they all say that this Sichuan is a mountain with mountains, there is no road at all, the younger brother originally didn't believe it, the younger brother always thought that the place with the most mountains should be our Shanxi, but I didn't expect that this really came here, only to know that the ancients did not deceive me, compared with the road in Sichuan, our road in Shanxi is already a grand avenue." It was a young man who looked very strong who spoke, and he snapped his eyes, and he could really be frightened by his figure.
Hearing the words of this sturdy young man, a young man next to him who was a little thin smiled before saying, "Brother Fuchen, in fact, this land of Sichuan is like an egg, the eggshell on the outside looks very hard, not like an easy thing to deal with, but if you really open this layer of eggshell, you will find the good things in him, the land of Sichuan, although it has always been difficult to enter, but the Chengdu Plain is a fertile soil in the world, compared to Jiangnan, it is not divided between top and bottom, and more importantly, the land of Sichuan, Because of the peculiar terrain, many special things have been created, and these things are simply not available elsewhere, and it is precisely because of this that throughout the ages, successive dynasties will want to get the land of Sichuan so much, and they will also take such a fancy to the land of Sichuan. ”
Hearing this, you can understand the true identity of these two people, that sturdy young man is the W assistant minister who has just been defeated by the Ming army in Shanxi and surrendered, and the thinner young man is Li Dingguo, who was personally named by Shi Lei and appointed as the governor of Sichuan and in charge of all things in Sichuan.
After determining that Li Dingguo would lead everything in Sichuan, Shi Lei remembered that W Fuchen was such a general, of course, the current W Fuchen is not a general, he was just someone else's deputy general in the past, and after he was finally able to lead an army alone, he was wiped out by the Shaanxi Ming Army, and he had to surrender.
For the appointment of W Fuchen, Shi Lei also sent him to Sichuan to help Li Dingguo, not only to find a helper for Li Dingguo, but also to indirectly integrate them into the increasingly huge group in Shaanxi, after all, both Li Dingguo and W Fuchen are both generals, and the way the generals want to enter the original forces is nothing more than to establish meritorious deeds, and after having common interests, they will integrate into it, otherwise no matter how much ability you have, or how much support you have from above, like you, but if it can't be smoothly integrated into it, then it will be doomed to nothing, just like Li Yan in the past, after the Battle of Henan, Li Yan quickly melted into the Shaanxi group.
"Brother Dingguo, you said that this time Lord Shi sent the two of us to deal with the affairs of Sichuan, is there any other purpose, speaking of which, until now the little brother still has some disbelief in his heart, originally thought that after the surrender of Shaanxi, I am afraid there will be no big achievements, but I didn't expect that he was entrusted with a heavy task by Lord Shi so quickly, so that the pressure on the little brother rose sharply, to be honest, if the little brother is allowed to lead the troops to fight, then there is nothing to say, but this is to deal with local affairs, think about it, the little brother also said that he felt a little headache." While walking, W Fuchen couldn't help but speak again.
Hearing W Fuchen's words, although Li Dingguo on the side did not say anything on his face, he also had a wry smile in his heart, to be honest, Li Dingguo's heart is now the same as W Fuchen, and his heart is the same, since he was captured, he has been locked up in that special prison in Xi'an, and he usually has no chance to contact the outside at all, and he has no understanding of the outside world at all.
But not long ago, there were suddenly a few Shaanxi court officials, came here, and brought him a letter, the letter was written by his father-in-law, Zhang Xianzhong, the emperor of the Great Western Kingdom, in the letter Zhang Xianzhong told him all the things, probably to him again, of course, this is not the key, the key is that through this letter, let Li Dingguo know that he was abandoned by his father-in-law, and the father-in-law said in the letter that he would serve the Shaanxi court and Lord Shi in the future.
After reading the letter, although Li Dingguo is also an open-minded person, he still can't accept it in his heart, fortunately, those court officials are still very good, after he was captured, the world form gave him a detailed explanation, after listening to the explanations of these officials, he finally understood why his father-in-law would abandon him, throw away the thoughts in his heart, if he was present at the time, he would also support his father-in-law's decision, after all, compared with the safety and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the entire Great Western Army, What does his life, death, honor and disgrace count for?
But people are not animals after all, even animals have feelings, although he supports his father-in-law to do this, but he is still unhappy with his father-in-law's abandonment, fortunately, and even hate the Shaanxi court and Shi Lei's heart, fortunately, after a few days, he met Shi Lei in person, after a deep conversation with Shi Lei, Li Dingguo was completely impressed by Shi Lei, or rather, because Shi Lei's idea is exactly what Li Dingguo wants to work hard and completely, so that the two hit it off, Li Dingguo, who was relieved of his mental obstacles, accepted Shi Lei's appointment and became the governor of Sichuan, which seemed to be a high-ranking and powerful position.
Originally, Li Dingguo also thought so, after all, in Li Dingguo's understanding, in the land of Sichuan, since his father-in-law Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army have left, then it is nine out of ten to fall into the hands of Shaanxi, but when he really understands the situation, he knows what kind of mess he has taken over, of course, although it is a mess, it is only Li Dingguo's initial understanding, when he really understands the reason, he can't help but feel lost in his heart, but burst out of his long-lost enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is there, but enthusiasm does not mean that you can do things well. Li Dingguo will not be carried away by the enthusiasm of the moment, the reason why he came to Sichuan quietly with W Fuchen in a light car this time is to explore the virtual and real situation in Sichuan, so as to find the key to opening the problem.
"Brother Fuchen, don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is pressure to have motivation, although this matter seems extremely difficult now, but this is also a golden opportunity, as long as we successfully solve this problem, then wait until our soldiers have an infinitely bright future, and it is also the key to whether we can rise. Therefore, no matter how difficult this matter is, we must do it well, otherwise it is a trivial matter for us to be embarrassed, but if we have to affect Lord Shi's reputation, it will not be something we can afford. Regarding the words of W Fuchen, Li Dingguo did not answer any substantive questions, but simply said these words
Just when Li Dingguo and W Fuchen quietly entered Sichuan, this debate broke out in Sichuan.
Chongqing Mansion is the capital of Sichuan Province second only to Chengdu Prefecture, and more importantly, because Chongqing is close to Huguang, it is much more prosperous than the ancient Chengdu Mansion, and therefore, it has become the settlement of the original Ming army generals in Sichuan.
Since getting Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army to go south to Yunnan, the former Ming army generals who originally confronted Zhang Xianzhong began to take various small actions, speaking of which, these people are the head snakes of Sichuan, the reason why they originally worked so hard with Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army is not how loyal they are to the Ming Dynasty, of course, it is not that all of them are for their own private interests, but most of them have this mind, they are unwilling to surrender Zhang Xianzhong, It's because I don't want to let the interests that originally belonged to me become someone else's.
Therefore, after they knew the news that Zhang Xianzhong was leaving, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it was the time before, they were able to confront Zhang Xianzhong with each other, and they also paid a huge price, and now they can solve Zhang Xianzhong's problem so easily, so that Sichuan can be under their control again, how can they not be happy, people are often like this, under strong pressure, they are often able to unite to tide over the difficulties together, but when the pressure disappears, the selfishness in people's hearts begins to trouble.
"No, the official resolutely disagrees, there is nothing to discuss about this, oh, where were they when we fought hard with Zhang Xianzhong's group of rogues before, and now that Zhang Xianzhong has left, they want to take Sichuan so easily in the name of the imperial court, let us go back to the previous time, this is simply wishful thinking, I think the kid in Xi'an City who didn't even grow his hair is crazy, so he will come up with this method, the official told you, no matter what, The official will not bow his head to that kid and admit defeat, the big deal is to fight with them, the official will not believe it, we are not even afraid of hundreds of thousands of rogues, and we are afraid of those rabble who have just formed an army. "In the hall inside the yamen of Chongqing Mansion, a group of people wearing various official uniforms are discussing something inside, and if you look closely, you can also find that there are still some people in civilian clothes inside.
This is the status quo of Sichuan, now Sichuan is actually said to be a joint group, but in fact it is composed of more than a dozen teams of all sizes, originally these forces in Sichuan are controlled by some high-ranking officials and generals, but later with the strong suppression of the Great Western Army, so that those powerful armies have been destroyed, and then, some local officials and local heroes took advantage of the rise of the situation, using Zhang Xianzhong's defeat in Hanzhong, when he was too busy to take care of himself, rapid expansion, to the present, these local forces, It's not much weaker than those regular armies.
The person who shouted just now is called Li Huayu, originally a Tuqianhu, the so-called Tuqianhu, in fact, is a kind of official title for those Tusi, it is said that it is a thousand households, it is estimated that his subordinates even count the newborn babies that are just a few hundred to more than a thousand people, which is why the imperial court did not call him Tusi, but only a thousand households.
Of course, this is all in the past, after Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, Li Huayu took advantage of the situation, relying on his own Turkish soldiers, quickly expanded the team, and now there are tens of thousands of soldiers who can fight, which is why he is so arrogant.
Everyone was not surprised by Li Huayu's shout, because they knew that Li Huayu was such an arrogant person, except for some leaders who agreed to not see the form clearly and shouted with Li Huayu, the rest of the leaders who were a little more shrewd did not speak, because they knew that the people who really grasped the development of the situation were not them, but the most powerful warlords in Sichuan.
The nominal president of the people, Gan Liangchen, and Zeng Ying, who is the most capable of fighting well, and Li Zhanchun, the Ma family brothers, these people are the people who can really decide the ownership of Sichuan, not for anything else, because these people are not only powerful, but also have a very strong relationship in Sichuan, and without their consent, then nothing can be carried out in Sichuan at all.
