"My lord, it seems that this time it is really going to send troops, what is the land of Huguang, that is the granary of the entire China, with him, no matter what force can have the confidence to compete for the world, just like the Wagangzhai at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it is precisely because of the capture of several granaries near Luoyang, there is a general trend that has swept the world, and now, although we have obtained the land of Sichuan, but if we just watch the land of Huguang fall into the hands of the Manchu court, it will be a fatal blow to us, when the time comes, The Manchu court has the land of Huguang, and it will be able to fight a protracted war with us for a long time, which will be a very big obstacle for us to dominate the world in the future. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Sitting in the hall of Shifu, Shi Lei and a group of confidants are discussing urgently.

For Jia Hanqing's words, Shi Lei also agrees with it in his heart, but the reason why he is embarrassed in his heart is that now is the time when the entire Shaanxi court is thriving, whether it is national strength or people's strength, it is in rapid recovery, according to this momentum of development, within three or five years, the whole Shaanxi will definitely be able to gather enough strength, when the time comes, sweeping the world and unifying the country, it will be a matter of course, but if you send troops south now and start a head-on war with the Manchu court, This rapid development momentum is about to be interrupted, which is an immeasurable loss for the whole of Shaanxi.

Seeing Shi Lei hesitate for a long time, he still couldn't make up his mind, Tong Chenfu said in a very timely manner, "My lord, the plan has not changed quickly, and we also know that you don't want to break this hard-won development opportunity, but you must know that if the Manchu court gets the land of Huguang, they will be able to have enough capital to develop themselves, and when the time comes, they will not only quickly accumulate strength, but they will also be able to rely on the rich resources of Huguang, so as to use troops around and look at the whole world, Except for our Shaanxi Ming army, no force is their opponent, if this really continues, when we accumulate enough strength, maybe the Manchu court has become more powerful than now, when the time comes, we are still a mutual stalemate, it is better to cut through the chaos now, while they do not have enough foundation, disrupt their wishful thinking, so that they do not have time and energy to gather strength. ”

"What Master Tong said is right, interrupting the development of the Manchu court is to promote our development in disguise, although we are now delaying the progress of development because of the dispatch of troops, but as long as we can curb the development of the Manchu court, all this is worth it." Fang Junchi on the side also spoke in time.

Shi Lei was just a little unable to turn around for a while, and under the persuasion of several confidants, he also knew that now there was only one way to go, and now that he had made up his mind, Shi Lei would no longer hesitate to drag the mud and water.

"Okay, since you all think that it is most appropriate to send troops at this time, then we will send troops and fight a good battle with the Manchu army, since we have decided to fight, then this time we will not make a small fuss, according to the idea of this official, this time we will give them a big one, let those who want to take the opportunity to please the grass on both sides of the wall to see, our Shaanxi Ming army, is the most powerful in the world, this time we not only want to take Huguang, but also to teach the Manchu court a lesson." Shi Lei said happily.

Hearing Shi Lei's words, all the officials present were full of smiles on their faces, since last year, they began to bury their heads in development, and the whole Shaanxi has not fought a big battle, and finally encountered the invasion of the Turpan people, or Shi Lei led the troops to recruit in person, which made those generals who were eager to make meritorious contributions were greatly disappointed, you know, for the generals, fighting a war also indicates that they will be promoted to become rich and make contributions, and this is a huge temptation for the generals.

"Hahaha, my lord, it should have been like this a long time ago, there was no battle during this time, but it suffocated me to death, this time I went south to fight with the Manchu Tartars, you must use me as a vanguard, otherwise, my treasure knife will be completely rusty." The first to speak was Dong Qi, as the first batch of generals to follow Shi Lei, he was the only one who dared to speak like this in front of Shi Lei.

With Dong Qi's invitation to fight, more generals also stood up to ask for battle, if this scene was seen by Zuo Mengeng, I am afraid that he would die of shame, it is also a big force, when his subordinates encounter a strong enemy, the first thing they think of is not to fight, but to surrender, which has to be said to be a regrettable thing.

Seeing that everyone was rushing to fight, Shi Lei said with a smile, "Hahaha, okay, okay, the official knows that all of you are meritorious, you can rest assured, since the official said that he was going to fight a big war this time, then there will definitely be no shortage of you, not only you, Li Yan from Henan, Li Dingguo from Sichuan, Liang Zhendong from Shanxi, these people and officials will be able to use them." ”

As soon as Shi Lei's words were finished, the mood in the hall suddenly rose to the highest, over the years, although the entire Shaanxi has also fought a battle from time to time, sometimes even mobilized, but in fact, every time it is a passive battle, and this time it is different, this is the first time that the Ming army in Shaanxi has taken the initiative to attack the Manchu court, and it is still a huge movement, just the least estimate, the two sides add up to nearly a million soldiers and horses, think about this grand scene, how can they not feel excited, As a general, to be able to participate in such a grand battle, even if they die, they can be completely blinded.

No matter what time or place, as long as the great machine of war turns, then nothing can stop him, and everyone and everything will be swept up by him, rolling forward until he can no longer move.

When Shi Lei's order to lead the army to the south came out, the Shaanxi court became completely boiling from top to bottom, a fast horse, desperately running everywhere, conveying urgent orders, one by one granaries were opened, bags of stored grain, pulled out, made dry food, more importantly, a just done the autumn harvest work, ready to enjoy the feeling of the harvest, was also gathered by the imperial court, used as a people, for a time, the whole Shaanxi, into a huge construction site, Individually, at their posts, they are preparing for the upcoming battle.

.............................

The huge movements of the Shaanxi court can't hide anyone at all, in just a few days, the major forces in the world have already known that the entire Shaanxi Ming army is ready to send troops to the south, for this kind of thing, these forces are happy and sad, for this matter The forces that are happy are some small forces in various places, or some forces that are interested in the court, for these forces, if the Shaanxi Ming army can really defeat the Manchu court in one go, so as to dominate the world, Then they don't have to live in such fears anymore.

And those forces that feel pessimistic are either forces like the Manchu Qing Dynasty that are inseparable from the Shaanxi Ming Court, or people who have ambitions in their hearts and want to take advantage of the troubled times to do something, but no matter whether this is a force happy or sad, it can't stop the pace of the Shaanxi Ming Army at all.

In the face of the Shaanxi Ming army that was about to send troops south, the first to react was the Manchu court, not only Dolgon and other Manchu nobles who stayed in Beijing felt a huge crisis, but even the Azig army that was attacking the Zuojia army also stopped advancing, and even retreated in some places, putting on a defensive posture, which shows that the deterrent power of the Ming army in Shaanxi is still very strong, for this, Zuo Mengeng and others are full of joy, but more people say that they are full of anger and surprise.

"You all tell me, what the hell is going on, why Shi Lei's kid didn't send troops early or late, but he wanted to send troops at this time, is Shi Lei ready to fight with us, if that's the case, we have to think about it in the long run, after all, so far, we don't have enough confidence to have a decisive battle with Shi Lei's kid." On the top of the Jinluan Hall in Beijing City, Dolgon sat next to the dragon chair, on the specially added chair, and said with some anger.

Originally, Dolgon was still very satisfied with the fact that the Azig army could achieve such a big gain in the south, and even thought that as long as Azig could smoothly incorporate the entire Huguang land into his hands, at that time, the Qing Dynasty would be able to have enough resources to launch an attack on the Shaanxi Ming court, but before he had time to be happy, he was frightened by the news that the Shaanxi Ming army was about to send out a large army. But the number is too small, especially in the face of the Shaanxi Ming army, which is on par with them, they are not sure of victory, if at this time, the Shaanxi Ming army really wants to fight a decisive battle with the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that they can only lose in the end.

Hearing Dolgon's stern words, hundreds of officials in the main hall, no matter how sweaty, no one dared to speak, at this time to speak, it is not necessarily good to say the right thing, but if you say it wrong, it is a big sin, so no one wants to be this bird.

"Lord Wang, in fact, this matter is not too unexpected, you know, the importance of Huguang, as long as the world has ears and eyes people know, those former Ming remnants in Shaanxi are not fools, they also know that if the land of Huguang is seized by our Qing Dynasty, it will definitely be very unfavorable to them, therefore, it is also the right thing for them to send troops to block, so now you should not be angry about this matter, now we should think about how to resist the attack of the Ming army in Shaanxi, and at the same time control the land of Huguang in our hands." It was He Luohui who spoke, as the number one henchman under Dolgon, at this time, he was the only one who dared to speak like this.

With the beginning of He Luohui, the atmosphere in the hall has become relatively relaxed, so some officials have also spoken out to analyze, at this time, in the Manchu court, whether it is Manchu or Han or even Mongolian officials, they are not as incompetent as later, so their analysis is also very useful.

"Yes, what you said is right, this king is a little impatient, since everyone is already clear about the matter, then I don't know what kind of plan your lords have, you can block the southward movement of the Ming army in Shaanxi, and at the same time be able to take the land of Huguang, everyone said, as long as it is said well, this king will be rewarded, even if it is wrong, this king will not blame you." Hearing everyone's words, the anger in Dolgon's heart was also suppressed, after all, as a leader, it is impossible to be influenced by his own emotions in decision-making.

As soon as Dolgon's words were finished, the hall instantly became silent again, not that these officials did not have ideas, in fact, in the face of this kind of militaristic affairs, there was nothing else to think of, there was only one way, the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth, and if they wanted to intercept the southward pace of the Shaanxi Ming army, and seize the land of Huguang, then the Manchu court would send a large army to intercept the Shaanxi Ming army, and only in this way could their goals be achieved, otherwise, any tricks, in the face of absolutely powerful strength, Only the end of turning into juice powder.

These things, although everyone knows, but no one dares to say to Dolgon, you know, the current Manchu Qing looks strong, but in fact it is only strong on the surface, all the forces of the Manchu Qing court have been led by Azig to expand the territory in the south of the Yangtze River, and now in the entire north, except for the remaining tens of thousands of Manchu Eight Banner Army in Beijing City, there is no other force at all, the entire Nanzhili and Shandong and other places, except for a few important places arranged with Qing troops to garrison, the rest of the prefectures and counties, were garrisoned by the Ming army or the Dashun army that had been incorporated into the country, which is why the Han people in Shandong and other places continued to launch uprisings one after another, and even the scale became larger and larger, and the Manchu court was indifferent.

Now if you want to intercept the Ming army in Shaanxi, then there is only the tens of thousands of Manchu troops who are deployed to guard the city of Beijing, and in this way, the city of Beijing will become extremely empty, if at this time, there is a team to attack the city of Beijing, then the head of the entire Manchu court, but the whole army will be wiped out, such a serious responsibility, no one dares to bear it.

Looking at the many officials who lowered their heads to their chests, Dolgon was also full of helplessness, he also knew that no one dared to bring up this matter except him, but this was the last thing Dolgon wanted to do, you know, as the little emperor Shunzhi grew bigger and bigger, many officials also became copied, if he put forward this opinion today, but if there is really any responsibility, those who were not convinced of him in their hearts are afraid that they will immediately leak their sharp teeth and attack him, when the time comes, He's probably going to end in tragedy too.
