"But my lord, people's hearts are not with us." Tang Qiang said helplessly.

Lu Haoshan knew that when the vast majority of people were optimistic about the war with the Manchus, and Tang Qiang was the most sober one among so many people, thanks to the fact that he was active in Liaodong in his early years, and the Manchu Eight Banners played traffic many times, of course, at that time it was still called Houjin, he knew the terrible thing about this nation, although Sichuan had advanced weapons, but he was still worried.

This sense of distress is not understood by others, but Lu Haoshan understands very well that there was a regime in his previous life, which defeated the enemy's aircraft and artillery with millet and rifles, creating a miracle and creating a beautiful era.

Lu Haoshan patted Tang Qiang's shoulder and said: "Don't be afraid, this official knows what you are worried about, people's hearts are fickle, and they can be used by the Manchu Tartars, and they can also be used by me in Sichuan." ”

"My lord, those people have surrendered to the Manchus, especially Hong Chengchou's defection, so that many people have turned to the wind, otherwise Li Zicheng, who has a million-strong army, would not have been defeated so quickly, and they can still be used by us?" Li Dingguo said with some disbelieving.

Tang Qiang nodded and said: "Yes, my lord, our name is not right, or we will also learn from Zuo Liangyu and they have a clan as the king, then the king of Shu is good, listen to the teachings and be obedient, and when the time comes, there will be great righteousness in your hands, and it will be easier to do anything." ”

The king of Shu is still the king of Shu, although the family wealth, fiefdom, and land are nine out of ten, but Lu Haoshan did not take away his title of the king of Shu, that is, the palace of the king of Shu on behalf of his identity has always let him live, and the frightened king of Shu Zhu Zhipeng took the initiative to give up to Lu Haoshan several times and refused, until now, Lu Haoshan's purpose of keeping and not using the king of Shu and not killing is still the most talked about by the people after tea.

"No, no, no" Lu Haoshan refused on the spot: "The current situation is very good, and there is no need to change it." ”

The king of Shu, that is to add a small hole card to himself. There is not much purpose, the reason why he didn't kill him was that although the King of Shu was stingy, he was good in so many royal families, and he didn't do those big and evil things.

Li Nian was also curious, and hurriedly said, "What do you mean?" ”

Lu Haoshan said with a nonchalant face: "The people have a scale in their hearts, although they can't say the truth, but they know who is good and who is bad, if the clan of the former Ming Dynasty is so easy to use, the former Ming Dynasty will not perish, and the people will kill the officials of the Ming Dynasty to welcome Li Zicheng." That is because they were disappointed in the Ming Dynasty and pinned their hopes on Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng was not angry, and he took care of Xingle before the country was laid, especially a recovery of stolen goods offended the gentry of the world, and now he is still a scholar in the world, Li Zicheng has offended everyone in the world, can he stand firm? ”

After a slight pause, Lu Haoshan continued: "The people's hearts are biased towards the Manchu Qing Dynasty. That was because it deliberately curried favor with the gentry according to the times, but after all, the Manchus were a small clan under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, and these Tartars had been encroaching on the Ming Dynasty for many years. has created an unknown number of bloody cases, which makes many people feel unbearable, and when they have no choice between the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the lesser of the two. As long as we raise our arms and shout, people of insight in the world will definitely follow the clouds, and why is it difficult for the people to favor us. ”

Li Nian nodded and said, "That's right." As long as we secretly collect the things that the Manchus brutalized the people of the Central Plains, and then publicize these things, it will definitely resonate with many people, as long as we ruthlessly clean up the Manchus and win a few big battles to strengthen the confidence of those wallheads, why is it difficult to change the people's hearts? ”

After that, Li Nian showed a cruel smile on his lips, and said a little coldly: "The adult said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a small clan, in fact, it is really not wrong, the population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is only a few hundred thousand, it has been fighting for many years, and the casualties are also large, hundreds of thousands of people also include a lot of foreign population, in the final analysis, there are not many real flag people, take the Eight Banners as an example, that is, the establishment, one flag is only 7,500 people, and the Eight Banners are only 60,000 people, it can be seen from the battle of Shanhaiguan that the Manchu Qing Dynasty can even use the strength of "milk", Almost all the active men in the clan are recruited, if we follow Ran Min's order to kill Hu, as long as this mouth is opened, I am afraid that it will be easy for the Manchu Tartars to enter the customs and difficult to get out. ”

As soon as the killing order came out, the audience was shocked, even Lu Haoshan couldn't help but gasp, this is too ruthless, back then, five nonsense, ten rooms and nine empty in Huaxia, almost extinct, Ran Min said in the killing of Hu Ling, "Take Han as a sheep, kill it for food" The eight words said in the killing of Hu Ling "Take Han as a sheep and kill it for food" said that the cruelty of the Hu people back then, killing people for fun, calling the Han people two-legged sheep, and using people as military food, but Ran Min's killing order came out, almost exterminated the Hu people.

How similar is the current situation, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has repeatedly violated the border for so many years, hit the Gyeonggi area several times, killed people and set fires, abducted people and livestock, and I don't know how many bloody cases have been committed, and the people of the Central Plains hate it to the core.

"Okay, let's also issue a killing order, so that these Tartar dogs will not come back." Tang Qiang clenched his fists and said.

I don't know how many brothers were killed in battle, and I don't know how many Qing Tartars they witnessed their atrocities and arrogance, and when they saw that the Manchus were going to be unlucky, Tang Qiang was the first to applaud.

Lu Haoshan tapped on the table and said: "That's right, the Manchu Qing has a small population, and they have committed a lot of evil deeds, I don't know how many people want to skin them and eat meat, as long as they are given a reason, a guarantee, an honor and a motivation, it is definitely a nightmare for the Manchu Tartars." ”

"What do you mean?" Tang Qiang vaguely sensed something, and hurriedly asked when he heard the words.

"It's very simple, in the name of righteousness, let them shoot at the Manchu Tartars, as long as they bring the heads of the Manchu Tartars to vote, we will accept them, and give the bounty according to the heads, and then recreate the theory of Xing, and treat them as heroes, you say, are you afraid that no one will do it?" Lu Haoshan said with a sneer.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, as long as the bounty is high, the bird dies for the food of the dead and the people die for the wealth, even if there is no revenge, there must be hatred, not to mention anything else, just the capture of Zhang Xianzhong's huge spoils is enough to pay these bounties, and the prosperity of Sichuan has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, I don't know how many people want to take refuge because there is no way, and when the order to kill the Qing Dynasty comes out, it is estimated that Dolgon is sleeping and sleeping unsteadily.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of those present lit up.........

When the wind and clouds were moving, Lu Haoshan was intensively planning how to deal with Sichuan, and Dolgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty who was guarding Hanzhong, was also in an inexplicable anxiety, not only from external pressure, but also his own internal voice was not small, and the external was the change of various large and small forces, especially the Sichuan army, and learned that Lu Haoshan, the governor of Sichuan, had mobilized 30,000 elites from Tibet to come to the intelligence, and Dolgon just couldn't eat well or sleep well.

The voice of internal commotion was not because of cowardice, on the contrary, they expressed dissatisfaction with Dolgon's inaction, the so-called inaction, that is, after Dolgon led the army to defend Hanzhong, he had been standing still, there was no strategic deployment, and he did not send troops to recover the lost Ningqiang Prefecture, and he refused all of his subordinates' requests for war.

Even Dolgon's own brother Azig couldn't see through this. ”

"Fourteenth brother, now that we are strong and strong, each flag is equipped with firearms from Daming, and even the artillery of Ningyuan and other cities has also been secretly transported, so there is no need to be afraid of a small Sichuan, but you still hold on to prevent us from dispatching, and if the hunters don't let go of the arrows, the fox under the arrows will run away." Azig was Dolgon's brother, and he was the only one in the army who could talk to Dolgon like that.

Dolgon sat on the Taishi's chair, rubbed his slightly swollen temples helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Twelve, I understand what you mean, in fact, I am more anxious than you, and the younger brother has not been idle recently, and has been dealing with various affairs. ”

"Don't give me nonsense," Azig said with some dissatisfaction: "You have been receiving those squires who are as weak as ants lately, constantly enveloping them, and generously giving them banners, what is the use of accepting them these weakling?" ”

Recently, Dolgon has been encompassing the gentry from various places in the Central Plains in many ways, and has wantonly included those who have defected to the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, for which Azig is somewhat unimpressed, and in his eyes, there is no need for this at all.

Dolgon smiled and said: "Give them the flag membership, but let them work better for us, Brother Twelve, our population is still too small, only our people are not enough to swallow this world of flowers, and another point is that it is easy to fight the country and defend the country, our flag people, it is okay to charge into battle, let them get off the horse and govern, there are really few who can do it, absorbing talents This is definitely to be done, the most important thing is to use the Han people to manage the Han people, there is a stable dìng in the rear, and there is no attack on Ningqiang Prefecture, Actually, I would like to wait for a new batch of muskets and gunpowder, so that the victory will be even greater. ”

After that, Dolgon said with some caution: "The most important point is that Ningqiang Prefecture is a small city, the small city walls are thin, there is no solid defense and no danger and reliability, even if you take it back, it is a chicken rib, it is better to buy more time, as long as the rear is stable and new firearms are developed, what is there to be afraid of a small Sichuan." ”

These were all obvious reasons, and Dorgon did not say anything about his own uneasiness, for fear of destroying the morale of the rainbow.

"The fourteenth brother is right." Azig nodded admiringly.

"The twelve brothers are highly respected, and I ask the twelve brothers to persuade those soldiers and let them calm down first."

Azig laughed and readily agreed.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, it's not good." As soon as the two finished talking, an anxious voice suddenly appeared outside the door, and as soon as the voice fell, the Dorgon brothers saw a hurried and pale Fan Wencheng.

This high-ranking and trusted bachelor did not have the usual calm and steady demeanor, and with a copy of the situation in his hand, he ran in a little wolfly. (To be continued......)
