With a secret weapon, more than 100,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and according to the natural danger of Sichuan, Lu Haoshan's wings finally hardened, not only did he not obey the order, but also openly demanded the official, this is a big crime that is not rebellious, Zhu Chongba has a life, no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!

It's a pity that there is one less "don't bow your head".

Lu Haoshan encountered a good time, the Xiaoice River raged and damaged the national strength of Daming, there were mobs in the chaos inside and Houjin raging outside, it can be said that one thing was lost and the other was lost, so that Lu Haoshan was divided into Sichuan.

According to Li Nian's mountain and river chessboard theory, whoever occupies the dangerous places of the four corners of mountains and rivers can mostly achieve a hegemony, but whether it can become a great cause of reunification depends on the right time and place and personal cultivation.

Although he is hegemonic, Lu Haoshan still claims to be a courtier, does not hegemon, does not tear the soil as the king, and leaves the last fig leaf for the Ming Dynasty, so Chongzhen can only pretend to open one eye and close one eye to let Lu Haoshan toss, the two form a tacit understanding: Lu Haoshan is obedient to the Ming Dynasty on the surface, and Chongzhen also adopts a laissez-faire attitude towards Sichuan affairs, and the people recommended by Lu Haoshan are also approved one by one.

Chongzhen is so good at "talking", in addition to Lu Haoshan's strong strength, it is also related to the change of the situation, the rebel army strayed into the dangerous road when it was in the Hanzhong plank road area, the place is high and steep, the population is sparse, the exit is guarded by the officials and soldiers like an iron bucket, it can't be rushed out at all, the disaster is not a single line, it rains for more than two months, the crossbow is eroded, the clothes and armor are soaked, the horse's hooves are worn, and the ammunition is exhausted.

The naivety of the Ming Dynasty once again missed an excellent opportunity to exterminate the righteous army, after surviving this crisis, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others rose up again, and since then the righteous army began to leave footprints in more places in the Ming Dynasty, first to a vigorous Xingyang Conference, and then continued to divide the army into many ways, leading the nose of the official army to flow around, and the righteous army led by the King of Sweeping and Taiping also captured the central capital Fengyang. Set fire to the imperial mausoleum and Longxing Temple with special significance, even the emperor's ancestral tomb was also dug up, threatening to cut off the dragon vein of the "old Zhu family", and dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty headed by Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was naturally furious, and ordered a more frantic encirclement and suppression of the righteous army, which also made Hong Chengchou, who was originally the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, because of the ability to suppress bandits, he was promoted step by step to increase his ranks, and now he has been promoted to the secretary of the military department.

This is the tradition of the old Zhu family. It has become a tradition to be mean to hundreds of officials, and it has become a tradition to be depreciated and changed, taking the military department as an example, within a few years of hard work, there have been Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Jinyan, Zhang Heming, Hong Chengchou, etc., some of them have become scapegoats, and some are punching bags, and the replacement of officials is too fast, so as to see the instability of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and also see the danger of the military situation.

Houjin's Huang Taiji is also sharpening his sword. A series of reforms were carried out in response to the social contradictions during the Nurhachi period, which was known as the "Tiancong New Deal" in history. It also continued to improve and expand the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and set up a court to govern the affairs of Mongolia and other places, so as to continuously accumulate strength. Continue to eyeing Daming.

For the Ming Dynasty, this is an unbeatable tiger, although it was enslaved in its "juvenile" years, allowing it to be used as thugs and cannon fodder. But a tiger is a tiger, and it can never be treated as a dog, until it grows its muscles and sharpens its claws. It has become Daming's nightmare, just like the "Xiaoqiang" who can't be killed, licking his wounds again and again, and bringing greater harm to Daming again and again.

This is an extremely rare opportunity for Lu Haoshan, and it is also a rare honeymoon period for Lu Haoshan and Chongzhen.

In fact, even if there is intentional interference, there is also a weak intention.

How lively it is outside, Lu Haoshan is just a bystander, concentrating on the development of Sichuan's production and people's livelihood, and also taking advantage of the unique position to monopolize the tea and horse trade, using tea and the rich utensils of the Central Plains to trade with the Tibetan people, using tea, porcelain, silk and other things to trade with the Tibetan people for cattle, horses and sheep and other things, cattle can be used for farming, horses can be used to strengthen the army, transportation, sheep can supplement the shortage of food, it is worth mentioning, Wan'er Shawan household chief Pubu has become more and more powerful under the support of Lu Haoshan, and Lu Haoshan has also formed an alliance with Pubu.

There was chaos outside, and Lu Haoshan was operating vigorously in the rich land of Sichuan, and his strength was constantly expanding.

Of course, the development of the military is a top priority.

As the commander of Sichuan and the governor of Sichuan, Lu Haoshan is the uncrowned king of Sichuan, he can carry out the reform unscrupulously in the military power, in terms of soldiers, Lu Haoshan directly abolished the guard system, the combination of guarding and farming, self-sufficient guards into professional soldiers, pay attention to cooperation and training, but also recruit excellent craftsmen everywhere, gather them, encourage them to create better and better weapons, in addition, but also shoulder to turn Lu Haoshan's "whimsy" into reality.

Of course, the development of firearms is the top priority, Lu Haoshan set up an arsenal workshop to weave craftsmen into it, but the establishment of a firearms workshop is independent of the arsenal, directly responsible for Lu Haoshan, Xu Xiang, who has worked hard, is naturally in charge of the firearms workshop, now he is the hot firearms manager in the eyes of all soldiers, who wants a good gun and a good cannon, he has to nod and agree, so that many generals are like seeing a big beauty when they see him, saliva is dripping.

Time is like an arrow, and five years have passed unconsciously, and it seems that the thirteenth year of Chongzhen has arrived in a snap of a finger.

The peak fire outside is still the same, the wrinkled sorrow of the people is still not unfolded, for the common people, the most discussed every day is that so-and-so rebelled, a certain place has been plagued again, the scourge is either a soldier or a thief, the guy called Huang Taiji changed the Houjin to the Qing Dynasty two years ago, that is, in the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Houjin was changed to the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was formally established, and the Eight Banners were expanded to include the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the strength was stronger, etc., and the most talked about in private was how to go to Sichuan.

For them, as long as they enter Sichuan, they can live a good life with enough food and clothing.

Five years, five precious years, in the five years, Lu Haoshan did not idle, but spent five years to change Sichuan in accordance with his own ideals: to eliminate bandits and bandits, to install cronies to pinch Sichuan into a whole piece, to increase his own control and influence, to develop the economy, to train soldiers, with the help of Li Nian, Tang Qiang and others, Sichuan can swim against the current in a harsh environment, the economy and production have developed greatly, especially the land reform has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the people, and grain production is increasing year by yearIn just five years, there were no hungry prisoners on the streets of Sichuan, there was surplus grain in the rice jars in the people's homes, and the smiles on the faces of the people became brighter and brighter day by day.

Sichuan is also the "Tianfu" in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Haoshan has always paid attention to absorbing talents, and Sichuan has been operating well, and many people have come to take refuge, but Lu Haoshan stipulates that he must have excellent skills to accept, so he has absorbed a large number of talents.

Once a small Qipin county order became the governor of Sichuan and became the uncrowned king of Sichuan, the cronies around him were all soaring, like Tang Qiang, Zhao Gongchang, Li Dingguo, Sun Xiong, Lao Zhangren and others, needless to say, either generals or Wei commanders, there are more than a dozen officials in the Zhao family, that is, the old team in Jiangyou back then, like Zhang Yunhui and Cao Hu, these people have also been promoted and reused, which can be regarded as "from the dragon".

There is only one exception, this person is Li Nian, he was Lu Haoshan's military advisor back then, and now he is still a military advisor with no rank and no rank, although Lu Haoshan wanted to give him an official position several times, but he refused right, in the eyes of outsiders, this is stupid, but in Lu Haoshan's opinion, this Li Nian is a very smart person.

As long as you have your own trust, what do you want?

In fact, Lu Haoshan also attaches great importance to Li Nian, the study room in the Sichuan Governor's Mansion is where Lu Haoshan works, and no one can enter casually without Lu Haoshan's consent, this place that can be called the center of Sichuan officialdom is only for one person: Li Nian.

Li Nian can enter and leave the study at any time without notification.

On this day, Lu Haoshan was reading the secret reports sent from all over Sichuan in the study, when suddenly a sound of footsteps came, and soon a familiar voice sounded: "The student has seen Dong Weng." ”

There was no need to look up, Lu Haoshan also knew that Li Nian had arrived, and said while instructing: "Mr. Li, sit down, what's the matter with me?" ”

After many years of guest-host relationship, the two don't care about those etiquettes, and they get along very casually when no one is around.

Li Nian said with a smile: "Back to the adult's words, the king of Shu came to donate again, and the autumn grain has not yet entered the warehouse, so he sent someone to send five thousand stone grain to the labor army, and there is a lot of game, which is more punctual than those tenants paying rent, oh, by the way, he also sent someone to send an invitation, and the student is bold and has already pushed it for Dong Weng." ”

"Push it, I'm too lazy to entrust him with a virtual snake" Lu Haoshan said with a smile: "Last year, I also said that I would marry the county lord to this official, but unfortunately he looks average, hahaha." ”

Lu Haoshan mastered Sichuan, and before he tore the skin with Chongzhen, those princes and grandsons who were divided into Sichuan could not move for the time being, and each knocked a large sum, and then took away most of the fields divided by princes and grandsons, in order to protect themselves, these princes and grandsons tried every means to please Lu Haoshan, for fear that they would not know how they died.

"Toong Takami."

"Okay" Lu Haoshan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, this time I am looking for this official, it won't be for this little thing, right?" ”

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the king of Shu was still the number one person before Lu Haoshan seized Sichuan, but now it is different from the past, now his existence is just a symbol, and no one in Sichuan regards him as a big or small official, and Li Nian will not find himself for a small matter.

It is definitely not a trivial matter to be able to make Li Nian personally dispatch.

Li Nian's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said with a solemn face: "Dong Weng, according to the exact information we have obtained from our eyeliner, Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king of Xiying, has now moved to my Sichuan because of his gap with Li Zicheng, and is plotting against him.
