The off-market variables that He Qian envisioned have actually emerged.

As early as March of this year, the Shaanxi and Gansu prefectures continued to rush rice, which led to small-scale uprisings.

Speaking of Shaanxi and Gansu because of the problem of soil erosion in the Ming and Qing dynasties has been a net inflow of grain, has always relied on the supply of grain in Sichuan, but in the past half a year, Sichuan because of the continuous war, naturally unable to continue to supply, and Shanxi's grain also has to supply Zhili and Henan front, coupled with the previous continuous drought in the west of the narrow, Gansu was invaded by foreign enemies, and there is no savings, so after the turn of the year, the price of rice in the two places can not be suppressed all the way soaring.

The consequence of the soaring price of rice is naturally that the people are struggling to make a living, and the people in Shaanxi and Gansu cities who cannot bear it have to attack the rice shop to seize the opportunity to survive in order to survive. Although the local government spared no effort to suppress it, in some places it was successful, while in others it backfired and provoked greater resistance.

The people of Gansu and Shaanxi have always been fierce, and most of the generals of the peasant rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty were also from the narrow west, so the Qing court has always been very vigilant, and did not hesitate to stay in the town of Shaanxi and Gansu to prepare for the suppression. However, the war in central Sichuan was unfavorable, and a large number of Green Banner soldiers stationed in Shaanxi and Gansu were transferred south, and the Qing army was anxious and exhausted in the face of one resistance after another.

What is even more terrifying is that the civil unrest in Shaanxi and Gansu may escalate, and the Hui people in Hexi also followed the trend to set off a rebellion, and the Qing court had to transfer troops from Shanxi and rushed thousands of miles to support, and even the Qing court's withdrawal from the Nanyang front line can be said to be affected by this.

However, due to the blockade of the Qinling Mountains and the strict blockade of the Qing army's high-level, the crisis in Shaanxi and Gansu has not yet affected the front line in central Sichuan, so He Qian's so-called strange move refers to something else****??

"Master Hou, now the envoys of the two countries in Qingxia have promised heavy profits." In the public court of the Yamen of the Yamen Governor of Yazhou, Sichuan, a Confucian student in a green coat and a small hat was speaking to Li Sijiu, who claimed to be the Marquis of Xining of the Ming Dynasty. "The student thought that Hou Ye might be able to make up his mind."

Li Sijiu, who was wearing a brocade robe, asked seemingly sincerely: "Then Mr. Liao thinks that Benhou should go from here?" ”

As the mastermind who has followed Li Sijiu for many years, Mr. Liao certainly knows that Dong Weng is a very assertive figure, so after considering the wording, he said truthfully: "Hou Ye has been in Ya and Qiong for half a year, and although our army has a prefecture, a state and six counties, and has established a guard in Luding and Kangding, there is no longer any spare strength to advance. ”

Li Sijiu's army had only 20,000 elite troops, and it was inevitable that there would be some losses when attacking Qiongzhou, Ya'an, and other places.

"In the west of Kang District, the mountains are high and dangerous, and the people of Tibet have been entrenched for generations, if you want to seize its land and govern its people, firstly, it is not my race, and secondly, there are many difficulties." In Mr. Liao's view, although the Tusi and temples in the Kham area did not have the strength to oppose Li Sijiu's troops, in the face of the vast plateau and the daunting altitude sickness, the Li tribe, who did not have many cavalry, was simply unable to control and manage this area. "The Yi District in the south is also high in mountains and forests, and rivers are traversing, which is not suitable for the people of my Han family to live. As for the northeast sides. Mr. Liao's words paused. At present, they are all under the control of the Qing court, once the Qing army defeats the Xia army, and does not stop attacking, as long as the road is choked and grain, tea, salt, cloth, iron, etc. are not allowed to enter Ya and Qiong, our army will be defeated. ”

"Then what Mr. Yi means is that he is ready to let Ben Hou surrender?"

Li Sijiu's tone contained a hint of indescribable charm, although Silda's envoy promised him to be a town and a Qiong, but first, his troops were mostly remnants of the thirteen anti-Qing families in eastern Sichuan, and they had a common enmity with the Qing court, so he was not good at making a promise; Second, the credibility of the Qing court was quite problematic, and Li Sijiu didn't want to be treated as Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi's people in the end.

"How dare the student let Hou Ye risk such a big disapproval." Mr. Liao shook his head. "The student means Lianxia."

"Lianxia!" Li Sijiu's voice was like that of a frightened cat. "Do you want to take chestnuts from the Xia army?"

Li Sijiu didn't have many soldiers, but there were a lot of sentries sent out, and of course he knew the situation in Sichuan. Not to mention the main force of the Qingxia army that is facing off, let's just say that the partial division led by Fu'an is enough for Li Bu to drink a pot, not to mention that there are still Sang's banner soldiers in Chengdu City.

If you are not familiar with it, you will dare to say it again when you see Li Sijiu doing this, but Mr. Liao knows that the more this is the case, the more excited this Dong Weng is, so he continues to explain: "Naturally, there is nothing to talk about. ”

Mr. Liao explained his thoughts and thoughts: "Xia Fang's so-called grant of the lord does not seem to be as sincere as the Qing court's land grant, but it is precisely in this way that it is possible to achieve it. And even if Hou Ye doesn't want to invest in Zheng for the time being, it's always better to offer a price when the territory is big. ”

In Mr. Liao's opinion, Li Sijiu debuted too late, and it is impossible to set up a mountain between the Ming and Qing dynasties, since this is the case, it is natural to sell it at a good price, not to mention that Li Sijiu is also a hero, so it is naturally impossible to stand by and let the Qing court grasp his lifeline, even if he struggles hard, he has to do it again with the Qing court.

For what Mr. Liao said, Li Sijiu has been thinking about it for a long time, this is indeed the only way out for the current Li Ministry, but the more this time, the more Li Sijiu has to think about it: "Fu'an's 20,000 soldiers and horses are still in Meizhou, Ben Hou just wants to gamble, and he has to consider whether he is suffering from the enemy on his back." ”

"What Master Hou said is extremely true, but the students think that since Xia Fang wants to recruit us, he naturally can't just talk about it, but also have to take practical actions." Mr. Liao saw that the big thing was decided, and he relaxed at the moment. "The students thought that they might be able to ask Xia Jun to march north from the Yibin line, and it would be best if they could force Leshan, but it was really not good, at least they had to go to Qianwei."

"If Xia Jun can follow Mr. Wen's words, it is not impossible for Ben Hou to take a gamble." Li Sijiu was thinking about it in the end, so he asked with joy and anger. "It's just empty mouth and white teeth, how can Xia Jun trust Ben Hou and leave Jiancheng and go north along the river?"

Mr. Liao grinned: "Xia Junxing is in danger, if you want to win, you naturally have to gamble, as for whether Xia Jiang will be indecisive, Master Hou, it is useless to keep the prison in his hands, it is better to send it to the summer camp as a hostage." ”

"No." Since Li Sijiu is a hero, he will naturally kill decisively, so he will not have a sense of loyalty, but he simply feels that Mr. Liao's response is sloppy. "Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, although the prison country is young and ignorant, it is the foundation of the whole army ordered by the marquis, how can it be taken as a hostage." Li Sijiu sneered. "Besides, instead of sending it to the summer camp, it is better to send it to the Qing court, that is, to settle the heart of the Qing court, and you can ask for a large amount of property and ordnance, and also save the hands of the Xia Lord.

Regarding Li Sijiu's viciousness, Mr. Liao could only bow down: "Master Hou has no last resort, and the students have been taught." ”

Li Sijiu nodded: "On behalf of Ben Hou, you will talk to the Qing Xia and Qing Xia sides, as for the final decision, you don't have to spread it first, wait for Ben Hou to rectify the soldiers and horses, and then talk about ****??"

Receiving the news of Li Sijiu's return, Sang E was overjoyed, on the one hand, he allocated a large amount of military funds to comfort Li Jun, and at the same time sent people to receive Zhu Yiqin and supervise Li Minagi. After the envoy reported that there was nothing unusual about the Li Department, and Zhu Yiqin had been escorted to Shuangliu, Fu An, who was relieved, led his troops south to Leshan to confront the Xia army's southern front troops again.

However, as soon as the front foot of the Fu'an Ministry went south, the Li Department once again twisted the tail of the money rat, and 15,000 selected soldiers went from Qiongzhou to Chongqing through Dayi. The Chongqing defenders were caught off guard and soon captured the city for the Li Army. Libu, who had opened the way to the east, continued to advance eastward, and then seized the Wenjiang River and approached the periphery of Chengdu.

Because Li Sijiu sent a roundabout force to cut off the traffic first, Chengdu never learned the news of the fall of Chongqing and Wenjiang, and it was not until Li Bu's troops came to the city that they closed the five gates of Chengdu in shock.

At this time, the Chengdu city wall is the remnant of the Ming city wall, but the Jincheng soup pool built by the Liangguo Gong Lanyu has become dilapidated under the washing of time, coupled with the destruction of the previous rebellion of the three feudatories, although several Sichuan governors have built it successively, but there are still collapsed and damaged places, and the planned city has not been built for a long time, which gives convenience to the Li Department who does not have too many artillery.

Sang E, who had been tricked, could only try his best to cobble together troops to defend the city, but in the face of the vast defense line of "Zhou Twenty Li" and the turmoil caused by Li Bu's vanguard spies in the city, Sang E, who only had 3,000 banner soldiers and some of the errand soldiers, had to abandon the big city and retreat to Zhongcheng (Xiaocheng). It's just that Zhongcheng is too large for the strength of the Qing army, and Sang Er can only continue to retreat to the Chengdu Gongyuan rebuilt by the Shu Palace of the Ming Dynasty.

After Li Sijiu's troops entered Chengdu, they immediately wantonly recruited unemployed people and used the arsenal that the Qing army had not had time to move and destroy. On the one hand, Li Sijiu, who was suddenly arrogant, used the Qing army's own artillery fire to attack the Gongyuan, and on the other hand, he deliberately let go of the officials in the city and transmitted the news of Chengdu's change of hands to the front of the Qing army.

Sure enough, as Li Sijiu expected, when he got the news of the fall of Chengdu, Fu'an was shocked, and immediately retreated to save Chengdu. However, before Fu'an arrived in Chengdu, the Gongyuan was declared lost, and Sang was martyred with three thousand banner soldiers, and none of the flags in the city were spared****??

Although Fu'an rushed back to Chengdu non-stop and immediately organized an attack on the city, Li Sijiu held Chengdu steadily, just like his original cousin in Chongqing. At this time, the pursuing Xia army had already rushed all the way, and Fu'an, who knew that he couldn't do anything, had to flee to Mianyang in panic.

Not to mention that Li Sijiu later kept the Xia army out of Chengdu, which caused a series of conflicts between the two sides, but the news of the fall of Chengdu crushed the main force of the Qing army on the Nanchong line, and Hilda could only choose to withdraw due to food supply and other problems, but He Qian waited for this opportunity, how could he give up, so he caught up with the Qing army in Xichong.

Silda had no choice but to fight with He Qian, but the demoralized Qing army was unable to resist the Xia army at all, and fled in defeat, and in the end, only three or four thousand people led by Silda retreated to the Sword Pavilion, and the rest were all destroyed. Seeing that the situation was not good, Fu'an also fled to Guangyuan, and since then the rule of the Qing court in Sichuan has been completely cleansed****??
