It's finally here.

The butterfly effect is the truth Lu Hao understands, in fact, he also sees this effect, perhaps without Sichuan, a stable financial revenue and military source output place, the Ming Dynasty declined faster than the original historical trajectory, and the righteous armies from all walks of life made rapid progress, Zhang Xianzhong, who should have been Chongzhen 16 years before he firmly occupied Hunan and Jiangxi Yuanzhou and Ji'an, completed this initiative in the 13th year of Chongzhen.

Not only the occupation, but also the establishment of political power, the appointment of officials to manage, it can be said that the future is bright, however, there is someone better than Zhang Xianzhong, that is, the famous Li Zicheng, after annihilating Sun Chuanting's department, swept the northwest, the army is strong, the horses are strong, and the talent is abundant, and Zhang Xianzhong is at odds with this "Brother Li" who is stronger than himself, so he naturally has to plan early.

As a result, the topography and richness of Sichuan deeply attracted him, Zhang Xianzhong was a pragmatic person, just do what he said, and led his subordinates to march out to Sichuan.

Because of Zhang Xianzhong's thirst for killing, there is a saying in history that "Huguang fills Sichuan", that is, Zhang Xianzhong killed the Sichuan people to seven, seven, eight or eight, and Sichuan has no population, so the Qing government had to transfer the population from Huguang to Sichuan for development, of course, this is only one of the statements, but it is not credible Lu Haoshan can't study it deeply, and now he can't study it deeply.

One is that it hasn't happened yet, and the other is that it will never happen.

Sichuan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, history says that Zhang Xianzhong seized Sichuan because Sichuan has a very sharp contradiction, shaking the Huang Thirteen families to do evil and the people rise up to fight the Ya beetle movement greatly consumed the strength of the official army, Ming Sichuan according to the inspector Zhang Yijia described the Great Western Army as "like a bamboo" when he said, Sichuan is not without soldiers, for the Huang Huang to fold the end", unfortunately, this qiē does not exist zài.

Tong guò Zhang Rui, Lu Haoshan used the method of attacking poison with poison, and eradicated the big tumor of the Thirteen Families of Shaking Huang in one fell swoop. After five years of hard work, Sichuan can be said to be politically harmonious, the people live and work in peace and contentment, after those hard days at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the people cherish the hard-won life now, and it is too late to support it, where is there anyone who opposes it?

Lu Haoshan said with a sneer: "Hong Chengchou and Er Cao can't lead the elite soldiers to attack, I don't know where the confidence of the eight kings comes from, and they dare to fight my idea, I really don't know whether to live or die." ”

"It's not good to say," Li Nian shook his head and said, "The battle of Zitianguan is a battle." There are not many people who know the inside story, both sides intend to calm down this matter, there are rumors or anything outside, this Zhang Xianzhong has developed rapidly in recent years, it is estimated that Li Zicheng is the number one person in his eyes, and others estimate that he does not pay attention to it, in addition, the number of this army is also a means he relies on. ”

"The number of troops?" Lu Haoshan asked with a frown.

Li Nian nodded and said, "That's right, the main force of the Great Western Army has forty-eight battalions. Each battalion claims to have 10,000 men, which is an exaggeration, but it is estimated that there are still 200,000 or 300,000, and he also has a lot of troops who serve as cannon fodder. It is claimed that there are 600,000 people, and there are only 100,000 people under the adult, and one enemy is six, if the adult listens to the advice of the students. Recruit more soldiers, but I am afraid that this yellow tiger will not dare to come. ”

Others lead troops, and the more the merrier. But Lu Haoshan is an exception, pursuing a streamlined administration, when Sichuan was divided, there were about 150,000 troops, but after the battle of Zitianguan, the army did not increase but decreased, from 150,000 to only 100,000, which is something Li Nian has always remembered.

Lu Haoshan said with a smile: "The soldiers are expensive but not many, that is, there are 100,000 elite soldiers, as long as they are used properly, these 100,000 elite soldiers can block a million troops." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, my lord said, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu, and also said that Tang Taizong only used three thousand black armor soldiers to resist nearly 100 times the strength of the Tiger Prison Pass, and also killed the enemy and fled, and the few soldiers can also reduce the proportion of the people's support, which is conducive to changing the people's livelihood, because of the war, many strong men in Sichuan died, and there was a lack of labor, so that some soldiers could save military expenses and liberate labor, and they could also liberate labor, killing more birds with one stone, right." Without waiting for Lu Haoshan to say it, Li Nian hurriedly said it.

Although he doesn't agree with it, Li Nian admires Lu Haoshan's approach very much, and a decision-maker who can start from the people's livelihood is enough to be respected.

Lu Haoshan said with a sneer: "Although our regular army is only 100,000 people, some of which are still serving as defensive tasks, but after five years of painstaking management, the people's hearts have all stood with us, not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of militiamen, if someone dares to destroy the stable and prosperous situation in front of them, especially to move the fields in the hands of the people, even if we agree with the people, the people will not agree, and then as long as we wave our arms, the people will gather, millions of Sichuan people and millions of soldiers, that Zhang Xianzhong wants to bully more and less, it is a dream." ”

Millions of Sichuan people and millions of soldiers?

Li Nian's eyes lit up, and he quickly said excitedly: "Dong Weng said it too well, as the old saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, now the army and the people of Sichuan are of the same heart, it is a bit far-fetched to say that the world is unified, but it is really not a problem to hold on to Sichuan, not to mention anything else, our militia alone is stronger than those officers and soldiers." ”

"Come on, come on, my army of firecrackers is looking for someone to train." A sneer appeared on Lu Haoshan's lips, looking into the distance and muttering.

Lu Haoshan is well aware of the importance of intelligence to the military, and spares no effort in cultivating scouts, those scouts are also very powerful, Zhang Xianzhong has not yet moved to find out, the fact that this information is not wrong, Chongzhen 13 September 27, Zhang Xianzhong led the army from Changde, Hunan to Lizhou north to Jingzhou, Yiling, Hubei.

As soon as Zhang Xianzhong moved, the information about him was sent to Lu Haoshan's hands like snowflakes:

On October 8, Zhang Xianzhong's vanguard arrived in Jingzhou;

On October 12, Sun Kewang, a general under Zhang Xianzhong, fought fiercely with the official army and killed Zhao Shang, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty;

On October 28, Liu Wenxiu met Lao Huihui, who was active in Jingzhou and Yiling, and the two armies confronted each other, but there was no battle;

On November 2, Lao Hui Ma Shouying died of illness, and then all his subordinates were absorbed by Zhang Xianzhong, and his power was even greater, claiming to have millions of soldiers......

With a "snap", Lu Haoshan suddenly slammed the information on the table, and said with some indignation: "This Zhang Xianzhong is really shit luck, and he will let him do such a good thing." ”

Originally, I wanted to secretly provoke the two to fight, and then I would clean up the mess when the two of them were almost fighting, one mountain does not allow two tigers, Zhang Xianzhong and Ma Shouying are both No. 1 people, but I didn't think that the two were a male and a female, and finally died of illness, so that the other picked up a big bargain.

Li Nian said calmly: "Dong Weng, that old Hui Hui was originally ordered by Li Zicheng to capture Yiling, the relationship between the two deteriorated after the Luo He incident, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Zhang Xianzhong went north and the two did not fight for the first time, so they knew that they had contact early in the morning, but these are not problems, five years ago, Hong Chengchou's hundred battles of elite soldiers suffered a big loss under our hands, five years later we are still afraid that these rabble will not succeed?" ”

When Lu Haoshan heard Li Nian say this, he knew that he had an idea in his heart, and when he heard the words, he immediately said: "Mr. Li has a good plan, please make it clear first." ”

"Dong Weng, we have been in obscurity over the years, and the real strength is estimated to be only known to Hong Chengchou, when we only used 2,000 firecrackers to make Hong Chengchou, who was in several provinces, return with hatred" Li Nian said confidently: "Now we have nearly 100 new artillery, more than 10,000 new guns, sufficient food, well-trained soldiers, and now we are not afraid of him coming, but afraid that he will not come, and we have to consider how to wipe them out." ”

After a pause, Li Nian's eyes lit up and said: "Zhang Xianzhong has been doing evil for many years, I don't know how much gold and silver goods he has accumulated, this time he went north and scavenged Hunan and other places cleanly. ”

Well, this Li Nian has a lot of followers and knows the importance of money, and he has also become a fan of small wealth.

"Ahem" Lu Haoshan coughed dryly, and then said with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, let's talk about the point, how to catch this yellow tiger?" ”

"Yes, yes, Dong Weng forgive me, it's the student Meng Lang" Li Nian immediately said: "According to the student's analysis, we have Qinfeng in the north of Sichuan, the Three Gorges in the east, and the Tibetan people in the west. ”

After speaking, Li Nian pointed to the location of Peizhou on the map and said, "This is where Zhang Xianzhong was buried." ”

………

"Hurry up, the eight kings have an order, rush to Wangniudun before dark to rest."

"Quick, keep up, slash the noisy"

"Be careful, this box is full of antiques, if you dare to break one, how many heads do you have?"

"Hurry up, when you get to Sichuan, what do you want there, those mothers-in-law are all handsome, don't bother."

On the official roads of Yiling, Hubei, a team with different functions is marching forward, including infantry, soldiers, women, and coachmen who use goods, etc., all of them have the same purpose, that is, Sichuan, the country of abundance.

On a mountain peak next to the official road, the soldiers in bright armor surrounded this small mountain peak layer after layer, and the reason was very simple, their leader, Zhang Xianzhong, who was known as the Eight Kings of Xiying, was on the top of the mountain.

Zhang Xianzhong has a big horse face, long and yellow, nicknamed Yellow Tiger, at this moment, he is not the humble border army, not the little catcher who looks at people's faces, nor is he a small role that follows Wang Ziyong to please the leader of the alliance, now he is a man with a heavy army and a world in his eyes, looking at the continuous team, thinking that he has the power of life and death of so many people at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Xianzhong's heart is extremely happy.

If the progress is smooth and Sichuan is divided, then retreating can tear the soil as the king, and enter the world, how happy it is.

Behind Zhang Xianzhong, there stood three respectful young men, all of whom were outstanding young generals in the army, and they were also Zhang Xianzhong's right-hand men, they were Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi.

Of course, these three people have a special identity: they are all the righteous sons accepted by Zhang Xianzhong. (To be continued......)
