Externally, the contradictions and struggles between the toasts are very fierce. With the armed forces in their hands, they bullied the weak, annexed each other, raided and plundered the population for many years, in order to expand their jurisdiction. Internally, for the inheritance of the title, the open and secret battles between the Tusi uncles and nephews are also very fierce.

And it is not uncommon for small toasts to break away from big toasts. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Tan Yan, the Tusi of Longyang Cave, broke away from the rule of Shizhu Tusi and was registered in Wanxian County. In order to maintain the ancestral training of "soil does not leave the country", Shizhu Tusima Douhu once sent his son Ma Qiancheng to lead troops to besiege Longyang Cave and burn it very cool.

All in all, the toasts are not monolithic, although the Ma family is a stone pillar and a native soldier, it is not difficult to defeat.

And the military attack is not only to resettle immigrants and run eastern Sichuan; There is also the purpose of obtaining military supplies, the sulfur in Dazhou, Xiushan and Youyang are "plain to produce flame nitrate, and the natives take suffering as their business". The change of the Ming army's tactics made the demand for gunpowder huge, and it was difficult for the Shuo army to rely on foreign transportation at present, so it could only be self-reliant.

The three of them discussed the internal and external military arrangements, and just chatted over tea. I saw Li Weizuo hurrying with the intelligence station officials.

"Subordinates, etc., see your lordship." The three of them hurriedly got up to pay their respects.

"No need to be polite." Li Weizuo smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Let's put the incense case, His Royal Highness has asked for a holy decree from the imperial court, please ask the king of Yunyang to accept the decree!" ā€

Liu Tichun's heart jumped a few times, could it be - he was really a little hard to believe.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ All the kings worked hard and strategized. The mobilization was well-organized, so that the military prestige spread far and wide, and even the victories were great. It is advisable to add special gifts to show favor, and to seal the prince of Zhuang ......"

Prince Jin Feng, Liu Tichun was buried deep in the ground, and his voice trembled and shouted three times.

Prince Jin Feng! Linguo Gong Li Laiheng was a little envious and a little jealous. But it's more about relief and reassurance. His Royal Highness Min really did not discriminate against them, the remnants of the Great Shun Army, which was not only a reward for their war for the country, but also an attitude.

"Congratulations to the prince." Li Weizuo smiled and congratulated him, and said apologetically: "The road is not passable, this time only a holy decree was secretly sent, such as the golden book and other things still have to wait for some time, Zhuang Wang Ye is not strange!" ā€

"Don't dare, how dare you." Liu Tichun was excited. Some are at a loss.

"Immediately announce it to the whole army, reward and celebrate. Congratulations to the king! Wang Yougong congratulated Liu Tichun and proposed to build a yƬ with a smile.

"That's how it should be." Li Laiheng walked out with a smile, "A certain family will arrange it, don't fight with me for this beautiful thing of eating and drinking." ā€

Seeing Li Laiheng walking away, Li Weizuo's face turned grim. exchanged glances with the intelligence officer, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness still has an edict, please don't announce it for the time being, and then arrange the arrangements after the discussion is completed." ā€

Liu Tichun and Wang Yougong immediately realized that there was going to be a big event, and they hurriedly packed up their minds. Respectfully accept the order.

Guiyang, Wangfu.

"I shouldn't regret it." Wu Sangui frowned, and his voice sounded like he was a lot older, "When the Ming army was marching eastward, this king should have poured out of the nest. If Yunnan Province was taken at that time, how could the Min Domain be so calm, let alone so difficult to control! Even if you don't fight with the Ming army, you should destroy Shuixi, leaving this trouble in the heart, and now it is clumsy inside and outside, so what can you do? ā€

Xia Guoxiang grinned secretly, but he didn't think so. He still remembered that at that time, Wu Sangui's biggest worry was to put the old book together, so that the Qing court could take the opportunity to remove his vassal state. Moreover, when the Ming army was on the eastward expedition, the Min clan was sitting in Kunming, how could Yunnan Province be unprepared, the attack was insufficient, and there was more than enough to defend!

"Could it be that this king just gave Qian Province to the Min Domain?" The more Wu Sangui spoke, the more sad he became, patted the table again and again, and said: "It's a matter of delay, just watching him set off a trend, just watching him die in several provinces, just watching him pick up the Guizhou Province, and finally want to do something to this king!" ā€

Xia Guoxiang secretly glanced at Hu Guozhu, and the two of them smiled bitterly. What is the shape now, the old father-in-law is still there regretting it, and he is still feeling sorry for himself. There are still three days left, and if the Ming army comes in, the nature will be different. Anyway, if you raise your hand and surrender, can it be the same treatment and reputation?

The latest news came that the periphery of Hengyang was lost, and the Ming army had arrived at the city and was making final preparations for the siege. According to the strength of the Ming army, even Wu Sangui thought that Hengyang could be targeted, but he was still hesitating, waiting for the noose to tighten more and more, waiting for Zhu Yongxing to lose patience and be angry.

After receiving the holy decree, but not complying with it, and fearing that the Ming army would be provoked, he did not dare to openly mobilize the army to prepare for resistance, this is not sitting and waiting to be killed!

Xia Guoxiang sighed secretly, but he heard Hu Guozhu make the same voice undisguised.

In the eyes of Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu and others, the Qing court was already about to fail. At least south of the river, the superiority of the Ming army is becoming more and more obvious.

But what struck them a little strange at first was that the Ming army did not seem to have the habit of fighting long and straight into the army, but adopted a tactic similar to that of flat pushing. Occasionally, there will be prominent combat operations, but they will soon shrink or be advanced by friendly forces, making the prominence less noticeable. From south to north, the Ming army seemed to want to push and push like this, and finally pushed the Qing army into the Yangtze River.

Therefore, Xia Guoxiang and others have conducted research and discussion, and although this style of play is slow, it is stable, and there are disadvantages and advantages. What is stable is not only to attack, but also to occupy places and mobilize the masses. There are also other intentions to strengthen themselves, and perhaps there are other intentions.

The Qing court continued to transfer troops from the north to the south, but the Ming army continued this strategy and tactics unhurriedly. Xia Guoxiang and others finally concluded that the Ming army was likely to destroy as much of the Qing court's living forces as possible in the south. Because there are powerful sailors. It is entirely possible that this idea will succeed.

At that time, the Yangtze River Naval Division went eastward, and the Outer Sea Division advanced westward, and after controlling the Yangtze River, wouldn't the Qing soldiers who were transferred to the south become turtles in the urn? It is also possible that the Ming army's naval division may take advantage of the emptiness in the north, or enter the Yangtze River and go north along the canal, or attack in the key places in the north, so that the Qing army will be clumsy in the north and south. Late transfer.

That's right, it's the Sailor. Xia Guoxiang and others felt more and more that the Ming army's sailors had become the key to victory or defeat, and for the time being, the Ming army's sailors were invincible to the Qing army.

And the current Ming Court is no longer the situation it was two years ago, even if one or two major battles are lost, it will not shake its foundation. Similarly, the Qing court was able to continue to support itself after one or two major defeats. But the people's hearts and minds have been irreversible. The Qing court relied on compulsory requisition of grain, and the Ming army. The common people helped from their own places, and the stronger ones raised their banners to rebel, echoing the Ming army.

Historically, there were also examples of large-scale counteroffensives in Hunan, Guizhou, and Sichuan in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the momentum was also extremely fierce. Guilin victory, Hengyang victory. In Sichuan, Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, even hit Baoning. But the land is won quickly, and the ground is lost quickly, and there is no consolidated victory results, once defeated. and they were all lost.

"The shape of the Ming army is much better than when Sun Kewang was in his heyday." Hu Guozhu judged this way when he discussed it in private, "Although the Great Western Army had a major counteroffensive in Hunan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, it actually did not cut off the 5,000-mile defense line organized by Hong Chengchou. Jingxiang has changed drastically, with the help of the sailors, Kuidong thieves will have a greater advantage in the face of the Chu army, and Yiling is afraid that it will not be able to hold it. ā€

"Min Fan wants to take the world without risk." Xia Guoxiang thought that he could see more thoroughly and have a better insight into the psychology of the Min Domain, "Because of the strong naval division, the Qing army was forced to deploy troops from Shandong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and even to the coast of Zhili; There is also the Yangtze River, a partial division can rampage to the Three Gorges, and it is not too difficult for the Ming army to come to Nanjing again, or cut off the Cao Yun. Therefore, the Ming army is actually invincible. did not attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but left the Qing army with a bottomless pit, and the south of the river will also be the grave of the Qing army. ā€

"Maybe Min Fan is the right way to go out step by step like this, right?" Hu Guozhu mentioned Li Zicheng at that time, fighting all the way from Shaanxi to Beijing, which can be described as smooth sailing, recruiting countless troops and surrendering generals, and there were hundreds of thousands. But as soon as Shanhaiguan was defeated, it was in an uproar, and after retreating for hundreds of miles, it was still stable.

"If you don't rush to attack Jiangnan and take Nanjing, you may have learned the lesson of the thief." After thinking about it, Xia Guo thought deeply, "The important land of Nanjing, even if it is conquered, will be constantly counterattacked by the Qing army, and the army must be left to defend." Either the south of the Yangtze River will be turned into a blank field, or the main force will be nailed to Nanjing, and it will not be possible to attack Jiangxi and Hunan provinces as they are now. I am not in a hurry to cross the Yangtze River, I am afraid that it is also this kind of consideration, throwing the burden and burden to the Qing army, so that the Qing army will have to divide troops and stay along the Yangtze River, but in fact it is difficult to hold it everywhere. ā€

Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu and others have regarded Zhu Yongxing as a strategic master who is rare in ancient and modern times, and every step of the Ming army's actions is full of profound meaning, which is making the Qing army fall into an abyss from which it cannot extricate itself. Just like now, the situation of the Wu army in Guizhou Province, the war is alone, don't expect the Qing court to help, the outcome can be imagined, and if you don't fight, you can only take refuge in Shun.

"Mr. Hu is back, please!" Wu Sangui slapped the table, and attracted the attention of Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu and others.

Wu Sangui, who was undecided, did not do nothing, but sent Hu Xinshui to Qujing, saying that he had fallen off his horse and needed to be raised, and begged for a few more days. In the eyes of Xia Guoxiang and others, even if they fight for a few days, it will not have much impact, so why do they have to delay and watch?

After a while, Hu Xinshui hurriedly entered the hall, his face dusty, showing that he was rushing on the road.

"Mr. Hu, tell me quickly, what is the result of this trip?" Wu Sangui hurriedly got up and greeted, "What did Min Fan say?" ā€

"Back to the prince, he is lowly, and he has not seen the Min clan at all." Hu Xinshui shook his head and said, "I only saw Qujing soldiers and horses gathered, and grain and grass materials were frequently transported. ā€

"Huh?!" Wu Sangui was taken aback and stared at Hu Xinshui.

Hu Xinshui smiled bitterly and said: "When I arrived at the mansion where the Min clan was stationed, I also asked someone to report and explain the reason. But the Min clan didn't see it at all. He only sent someone to spread the word, saying: Since the prince is unwell, he will recuperate in Guiyang with peace of mind, and he will immediately set off to visit the sick in Guiyang in person. Well, there's more. He immediately sent someone to Guangzhou to pick up his son's family, how could his father be sick and serve the decoction without a child, this filial piety is exactly what children and grandchildren should do. ā€

Wu Sangui opened his mouth and sat back in his chair dejectedly, his eyes unmoving. He seemed to see that the Ming army was marching into Guizhou and approaching Guiyang; It seems that he saw his son and grandson being whipped in front of the horse, walking miserably; It seems that he saw the Ming army swinging their swords under the city of Guiyang, and the bloody heads of their children and grandchildren were picked up on high poles......

Ruthless enough, absolute. It's enough to lose, and there's no room at all! Xia Guoxiang and Hu Guozhu looked at their father-in-law's depressed state, and they couldn't help but feel sorry for themselves.

"That's it, that's it." Wu Sangui suddenly let out a long sigh, got up slowly, and explained to the guards: "Prepare the horse and call someone." This king will take his personal guards to Qujing, Xiang Min. His Royal Highness Min pleaded guilty. ā€

"Father, why don't you bring more people?" Xia Guoxiang stepped forward to persuade.

"Bring more people? Thousands, tens of thousands? Wu Sangui waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "If it is useless, why should His Highness Min be suspicious?" He will surrender, and he will make his promises. Well, that's the key to where he is today. Therefore, I will definitely treat this king well. As for the future-" Wu Sangui paused, his gaze swept over Xia Guoxiang and the others, and sighed, "It's up to you." ā€

Xia Guoxiang had already figured it out. His Royal Highness Min will definitely not let Wu Sangui lead the army outside, and staying by his side to be the governor of the left capital is a means to control the Wu army. Wu Sangui also made it clear that if they can make meritorious contributions, even if he is a hostage, he will be safe. If it's a series of failures, it's hard to say.

"Did I ever have this hat?" Wu Sangui made a decision in desperation, but his heart was suppressed, and he happened to leak out to the subordinate who was waiting for him to change his clothes with a shirt and a hat, pointing to his head and shouting loudly.

"Go, get a scarf for the prince." Fang Xinshui hurriedly reprimanded his subordinates and gave instructions.

"Do I have this dress?" Wu Sangui pulled his clothes again and roared.

…………………

Qujing was the focus of the Yunnan-Guizhou defense line, and the Ming army not only built fortifications, but also stationed heavy troops. Once mobilized, it is faster and faster.

Zhu Yongxing intimidated and threatened Wu Sangui's delay, but the time of the military operation was agreed with Guilin's Xuguo Gong Ma Weixing, and the Ming army's pressure on Guizhou Province was only a prelude and preparation, and it was not about to attack on a large scale immediately.

Political and military, both hands should be hard. In Qujing, Zhu Yongxing not only discussed with King Zhao and other generals to prepare for military action, but also summoned the governor Na Song and the civilian officials who were preparing to enter Guizhou.

Not long ago, when the conspiracy of the civilian clique was sabotaged, Na Song also made his position clear and tied up the officials who persuaded him to Zhu Yongxing, which can be regarded as withstanding the test and stabilizing his position.

As for people, it's all realistic. Yongli, who is far away in Myanmar, does not have any benefits except for giving that family a few empty titles. Under Zhu Yongxing, Na Song became the governor of Yunnan, Na Tao also succeeded to the prefect of Tu, and the sons and nephews of that family also had the official position of the commander of Annan, and earned a lot of territory outside.

In addition, the people of Yunnan Province were the first to settle down and recover after the war. Seeing that the people under his rule were able to eat a full meal, put on new clothes, and eat meat, the days of eating meat continued to increase, and there was no need to be afraid. Na Song's heart also understood, Sun Kewang can't do it, and Yongli can't do it. In such a better and better situation, who else would think about the emperor in Myanmar? And those civil officials who engage in conspiracy shout that they are loyal to the emperor, but they are not so frustrated? If you learn from them, not only will that family be affected, but the common people will also spit and curse like those civil officials.

"The Governor." Zhu Yongxing interrupted Na Song's thoughts, and he hurriedly listened.

"This Mr. Fang is the newly appointed prefect of Guiyang." Zhu Yongxing pointed at Fang Guangchen and introduced Na Song, "He is familiar with the situation of the people in the Wu Department and the current situation in Guizhou Province, so he can better settle the families of the Wu Department and make them feel at ease to fight." ā€

"Humble Fang Guangchen, I have met the Governor." Fang Guangchen bowed respectfully.

"Governor Fang doesn't have to be polite." Na Song raised his hand with a smile and said, "This governor is worried that there are no officials who are familiar with the situation to help him, and the improper placement will arouse the dissatisfaction of the Wu family. Now that there is the prefect of Fang, the governor is also relieved. ā€

"Then the governor doesn't have to rush into Guizhou." Zhu Yongxing kindly reminded: "When King Zhao leads the army to stabilize the shape of Qian Province, it is not too late for the governor to go to the government." Well, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, now it is well deserved. ā€

"Thanks to His Highness's proper command, I have a provincial land!" Na Song arched his hand towards Zhu Yongxing, "Conquer the Wu army, then Huguang will also be at your fingertips." ā€

"It's not yet a complete competition, and it's too early to talk about acceptance." Zhu Yongxing smiled humbly.

"With His Royal Highness's words, Wu Sangui dared not to come from his fate." Fang Guangchen said with a smile: "As for him, he just thinks too much, so that he is indecisive. As long as you are not forced to the point where there is no way out, how can you fight a war with no chance of winning? ā€

"Even if the odds of winning are very high, it's better not to fight or not to fight." Zhu Yongxing said with emotion: "There will be fewer deaths and injuries, fewer orphans and widows, and less sadness and grief." There are already too many dead people in this war. ā€

"But this war will continue to be fought until the final victory." Zhu Yongxing's gaze instantly became firm and resolute, "For the sake of those people who are still struggling under the tyrannical rule of the Tatars, for the inheritance of China, for the future-"

Zhu Yongxing's words did not continue, because the backwardness and humiliation of China that he saw, and the numbness and sinking of the entire nation, were incomprehensible to Na Song and Fang Guangchen.

Na Song and Fang Guangchen didn't know why, but when they saw that Zhu Yongxing suddenly stopped, he seemed to be thinking about some difficult problem, and they didn't dare to disturb, so they waited for him to come back to his senses.

After a long time, Zhu Yongxing exhaled a long breath, leaned back in the chair, maintained a more comfortable posture, smiled to himself, and said: "There are many toasts in Guizhou, if you want to stabilize and develop, you can't help but have a good relationship with them." But it can't be blindly involved, there is the power of thunder, there is also the grace of thunder, both soft and hard, is the way to govern. ā€

"The situation in Yunnan Province is similar, the governor is experienced, and his subordinates are trying their best to assist, so it should not worry His Highness." Fang Guangchen also knew the situation in Guizhou very well, although he answered cautiously, he thought in his heart that the Ming army was strong, and the local chieftains should not dare to make a mistake.
