In the winter of December 1645, not far from the New Year, an astonishing news spread all over the world, once made the entire Ming Dynasty court half of the country unpeaceful, killed officials and rebelled, surrendered several times, but several times repeated the Great Western Army, in Hanzhong accepted the canonization of the Hongguang Imperial Court of Shaanxi, the Emperor of the Great Western Kingdom Zhang Xianzhong removed the emperor's throne, and was canonized as the king of Dingxi by the Hongguang Imperial Court.

Moreover, under the leadership of Zhang Xianzhong, the king of Dingxi, hundreds of thousands of Dingxi troops were ready to go to Chengdu Mansion from now on, ready to obey the orders of the imperial court and go to Yunnan to resist the invading Burmese army.

When this news was transmitted, the world was in an uproar for a while, some people were happy, some people were sad, no one thought that the Great Western Army, which seemed to be extremely powerful, would surrender to the Hongguang Imperial Court in Shaanxi so simply, although, many people know that this may only be nominal, but most of the people at this time still attach great importance to these, and even some of the widows of the Ming Dynasty are overjoyed, thinking that this is the precursor of the unification of the world, after all, in the current world, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, these originally unlimited scenery, has become majestic with the passage of time, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it can make an old rogue like Zhang Xianzhong surrender, proving that the Shaanxi court still has a certain ability.

"My lord, I didn't expect you to be able to make people like Zhang Xianzhong bow their heads and admit defeat, although it is only a superficial situation, but in the eyes of the world, this is the powerful deterrent force of our Shaanxi, this invisible image, not much weaker than fighting a big war, no wonder this time the adult wants to come in person, I'm afraid that someone else will come, let alone let Zhang Xianzhong change his ways, I'm afraid it will be not easy for them to withdraw from Sichuan peacefully." In Hanzhong City, a group of people sat in the sun, drinking tea and whispering.

"Hey, Brother Jia's words are really a little embarrassing, to be honest, the current Great Western Army has reached the end of the mountain, Zeng Ying, Li Zhanchun and others have pushed them to the limit in Sichuan, although for various reasons, there is no way to completely eliminate them, but if it goes on like this, they are afraid that they will only have one way to lose, so the younger brother just let them change their ways, and there is no other actual progress, how can they not be ashamed, but unfortunately, Zhang Xianzhong is not an easy to deal with, The younger brother does not dare to oppress too much, and can only settle down like this first, otherwise, maybe we can further divide and disintegrate the Great Western Army, but it is a pity that such a good opportunity, in fact, to say a thousand ways and ten thousand, or our strength is insufficient, if we now have 100,000 elite soldiers can be mobilized at any time, I am afraid that the younger brother will be a little tougher, and after going back, we must further step up the training and recruitment of soldiers, neatly in the shortest possible time, to get enough troops.

In this way, not only will we be able to be tough on the outside world in the future, but we will also be able to deal with the increasingly unpredictable form of the world, to be honest, this crisis can be passed, it can be regarded as God's eye-opening, if this situation occurs next time, I am afraid there will not be such a good opportunity. Hearing Jia Hanqing's words, Shi Lei couldn't help but sigh and said.

After listening to Shi Lei's words, the people around him did not speak, and they had nothing to do about it, after all, the speed of Shaanxi's rise was too fast, and it was already a huge miracle in the eyes of many people to have this kind of achievement, so what they need now is not to expand their territory, but to stabilize everything at present, and only when they have laid a solid foundation can they talk about the next plan.

"My lord, now Zhang Xianzhong is no longer afraid, but after they leave, the land of Sichuan will fall into a vacuum, although there are Zeng Ying, Li Zhanchun and others, but we have to guard against those people with ulterior motives who covet this piece of fat, even if there are no outsiders, then we are not worthy of Zeng Ying, what do Li Zhanchun think of these Sichuan snakes, after all, they were originally under the orders of the Yongli Imperial Court in Nanjing, and then they did not have much contact with us, now this situation, I have to beware of what they have in mind. Tong Chenfu couldn't help but say, as Shi Lei's military staff officer, Tong Chenfu is very qualified, and he can think of doing many things well.

Hearing Tong Chenfu's words, Shi Lei didn't speak for a long time, and after thinking about it, he said, "In any case, Sichuan needs those, we have to Longwang Shu, we want to confront the Manchu court, we must have those rich Sichuan lands, this matter is a matter of principle, there is absolutely no room for bargaining, no matter who wants to fight Sichuan's idea, it is to confront the imperial court, resist the imperial court, and kill without forgiveness, according to this official's view, this matter will be handed over to Li Dingguo to be responsible, tomorrow Brother Jia will order him to appoint him as the governor of Sichuan, and be fully responsible for the affairs of Sichuan, At the same time, he ordered Yuan Zong's first troops to leave Hanzhong and go to Sichuan to accept the city left by Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army. ”

Everyone heard Shi Lei's order, and they were all stunned, for Shi Lei valued Sichuan, everyone thought it was true, you know, the land of China, can be regarded as a rich place, there are only Jiangnan and Sichuan, these two are the granaries of China, the difference is that with the deterioration of the environment in the northwest, the political center immediately moved to the east, so that the importance of Jiangnan is highlighted, and the road in Sichuan is really difficult, although the inside is rich, it can not be transported, As a result, after the Sui and Tang dynasties, Sichuan did not receive as much attention as previous dynasties.

But even so, Sichuan is still the pillar of the northwest and southwest regions, especially for the current Shaanxi, it is the most important thing, the innate conditions determine that Shaanxi has no way to get the material supplement from the south of the Yangtze River, then, Sichuan has become the only source of materials for the Shaanxi court, this kind of thing is like a person's passbook, and anyone will seriously protect it.

The reason why they were surprised was that no one thought that Shi Lei would appoint a person they were not familiar with at all, or who they had not thought of at all, who was Li Dingguo, these people knew very well that it was Zhang Xianzhong's godson, the original enemy of the Ming army in Shaanxi, and now he was just a prisoner, so that such a person who had no foundation and nothing to do with the Shaanxi group would become the governor of Sichuan in one step and control the power of life and death in a province, how could they not be shocked.

Seeing the shocked look on everyone's faces, Shi Lei was very proud in his heart, and proposed to let Li Dingguo come to take charge of Sichuan, which was something that Shi Lei had been thinking about for a long time, for this reason, Shi Lei also specially negotiated with Zhang Xianzhong, put forward this condition, of course, the final price was that Shi Lei gave Zhang Xianzhong 200 divine crossbows, and 10,000 grenades, since the first battle in Hanzhong, these two things that made Zhang Xianzhong suffer a big loss, so that Zhang Xianzhong was greedy, this time after getting this opportunity, finally put forward this condition, And Shi Lei also agreed very happily, in his opinion, with such a little thing, he bought Li Dingguo, which is simply the most cost-effective deal in the world.

The reason why Shi Lei will let Li Dingguo come over is also influenced by the history of later generations, in later generations, the reason why the Yongli court of the Southern Ming Dynasty can exist for more than ten years depends on Li Dingguo alone, and it is he who alone will make the entire southwest land, so that the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the southwest land is doubly hit, if it is not for the internal contradictions later, plus Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui, two shameless traitors, led hundreds of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress layer by layer, I am afraid that history will not be like this.

Of course, no matter how powerful Li Dingguo is in history, it is also history, if Shi Lei wants the young Li Dingguo to be so powerful in history, and he will turn the clouds and rain as soon as he makes a move, it is delusional, and the reason why this is the case is that he also has another intention, that is, to use Li Dingguo, a person who has nothing to do with the Shaanxi Imperial Court, and even has hatred, to do something that is inconvenient for him to do.

As for what it is, just like what Tong Chenfu said just now, although Zhang Xianzhong has left Sichuan, there are still Zeng Ying and Li Zhanchun in Sichuan, these Sichuan tigers, these people are also the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, but they are not the same heart as the Shaanxi court, otherwise they would not appear in Nanjing Yongli Court just after the establishment of the court, they will immediately be loyal to Nanjing, and there is no reason for the Shaanxi court that is close at hand.

For these little Jiujiu in Shi Lei's heart, although the people around him were puzzled, no one opened their mouths to ask, the people who can sit here are all shrewd people, they all know when to ask what questions to ask, and when not to ask what questions, if they don't even have this kind of eyesight, they don't have to be officials, just go home, like this kind of person, in the officialdom is the existence of cannon fodder, and it will be anytime and anywhere. Therefore, Shi Lei's order, which should have been controversial, passed so easily, as if there was nothing wrong at all

Just when Shaanxi was overjoyed that Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army had changed course, there was a quarrel in Beijing, and many Manchu nobles even had a lot of uneasy expressions because of this, and even the empress dowager, who had been hiding in the deep palace, sent someone to ask the regent Dolgon about the importance of this matter.

In the face of this situation, although the regent Dolgon had huge power, he still did not dare to trivialize, and even convened a special 'Eight Banners Political Council' for this purpose.

You must know that this 'Eight Banners Council' was first established from the time of Nurhachi, in order to brainstorm and strengthen the Manchu Dynasty, and after Nurhachi's death, in the early days of Huang Taiji, this 'Eight Banners Council' finally reached its peak, and even many things were not passed by the 'Eight Banners Council', even Huang Taiji could not be implemented, but everything in the world, there is prosperity and decline, after the prosperity of the early Huang Taiji,' The 'Eight Banners Council' declined rapidly, and it became the era of the emperor's words again, although it declined, but after the death of Huang Taiji, the 'Eight Banners Council' was revived again, of course, at this time he did not have the glory of the past, and became a place where the real power of the imperial court negotiated with the two sides of the ruling Dolgon.

It may be that this time the matter is too important, so the scale of this 'Eight Banners Political Conference' is also extraordinarily huge, not only the powerful Eight Banners Banner owners came to participate, Yue Tuo, Ao Bai, Suke Shaha, Fan Wencheng, and even Duoduo who has not appeared for a long time have appeared here, which shows that Zhang Xianzhong's change of course with the Great Western Army is a huge blow to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"Regent, in the eyes of the minions, we can't avoid the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty in Shaanxi, and now they have been able to subdue Zhang Xianzhong without blood, then it means that their strength is already very strong, you must know that Zhang Xianzhong's hundreds of thousands of Western Army, that is a hundred battles of elite soldiers who have been in battle for a long time, although not as good as our Manchu Eight Banners strong army, but also a powerful combat force, this Zhang Xianzhong is still willing to submit to Shaanxi, if this continues, I am afraid we are raising tigers, in the end, I'm afraid it's too late for us to deal with them. "The first to speak was Aobai, as a defeated general of the Ming army, Aobai's heart didn't want to take revenge all the time.

Aobai's words were agreed by some young Manchu generals, and for a time countless young Manchu generals stood up, slapped ****, clenched their fists like Dolgon asked to lead the troops to attack the Shaanxi Ming army, as if in their eyes, the Shaanxi Ming army was like a group of rabbits with no ability to attack, as long as they went, they would definitely be able to win.

In fact, you can't blame these young generals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this has an important relationship with their fathers, the entire Manchu court, except for Duoduo and Aobai, Suke Shaha, no one else has fought with the Shaanxi Ming army, therefore, in the eyes of these people, they all think that the Shaanxi Ming army is still the same as the previous Ming army, weak and powerless, and has not started to fight, they will throw themselves and flee, even if there is a lesson from the annihilation of the whole army under Duoduo Tongguan City, they have not received enough attention, It is believed that it was caused by the carelessness of Dodor.

Therefore, with these understandings, when those Manchu nobles teach their children and grandchildren, they are all their own children and grandchildren, how powerful the Manchu Eight Banners army is, and how incompetent the opponent is, under such a long-term education, how can these Manchu young generals who have never been on the battlefield put those opponents as incompetent as grass chickens in their eyes?
