Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Goal - Soldiers and Base Areas
The next day, Qin Huaiyu woke up earlier than Zhang Biwu, she was staring at Zhang Biwu, and she didn't want to take her eyes off for a long time, so she looked at Brother Lover, and there was only Zhang Biwu in the entire world.
Zhang Biwu woke up, and the two naturally talked about love, at this time, it was Lang's concubine, and the love was deep.
Qin Huaiyu looked at Zhang Biwu and asked, "Biwu, when are you going back to the barracks?" Zhang Biwu sighed, he didn't want to go, but he couldn't help it! He told that it might only be ten days or half a month.
Qin Huaiyu sighed after hearing this, it turned out that he and Zhang Biwu were only together for a short time, and soon after, they had to accept the pain of separation again! But what can be done about it?
Zhang Biwu said his depression again, he made a lot of military achievements, but he was always occupied by his superiors, and he also hated the corruption of the Ming Dynasty officialdom, and even disappointed. Zhang Biwu has nothing to hide from Qin Huaiyu, and Zhang Biwu even bluntly said that in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty will die!
Thinking that Qin Huaiyu Bingxue was smart, of course she saw it, and said: "Biwu, since you believe that the Ming Dynasty will fall, but you are still in the Ming army, and you don't want to go to the rebel army, then what do you want?" Biwu, you can't fall with the Ming Dynasty! Yes! Isn't it because you want to cultivate your own power? ”
Zhang Biwu replied: "Yes! In troubled times, strength is everything! As long as you have military power in your hands and an armed force that you can control, you can survive in the troubled times and be able to do a career! And I think that in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, I did not have a strong enough army by then, and it was difficult to change the fate of the Tartars to enter the Central Plains! ”
Qin Huaiyu was silent when she heard this, she didn't understand why Zhang Biwu could be so sure that the Manchu Qing would enter the customs in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and said, "Manchu Tartar? Alas! She thought of the repeated attacks of the Tartars, all of them murdering people and setting fires, doing all kinds of evil, and taking away a lot of people and animals. If you live under the rule of the Tartars, wouldn't you be in dire straits?
Qin Huaiyu said: "Biwu, you want to have an army of your own, so you want to be unique in the Ming army, after all, many of the Ming generals are private soldiers." I am a village girl, but I can also see clearly that the imperial court for governors, governors, supervisors, etc., is to arrest when they say they are arrested, they will be punished when they say they are punished, and they will be beheaded when they say they are beheaded. However, only the general soldiers with heavy armies were rarely punished. What is this for? ”
Qin Huaiyu saw that Zhang Biwu's face changed, and she knew that Zhang Biwu was worried about what she said, she smiled and asked rhetorically: "Biwu, you should know better than anyone else, right?" ”
Zhang Biwu was extremely surprised, Qin Huaiyu could see it? Zhang Biwu didn't reveal his thoughts, he said: "Oh! Huaiyu, try to talk about it! ”
Qin Huaiyu smiled and said, "Biwu, I said it wrong, don't blame me!" Zhang Biwu replied: "No!" How could I blame you? But it doesn't hurt for you to say it! ”
Qin Huaiyu said bluntly: "Biwu, the Ming Dynasty generals are famous for adopting private soldiers. Moreover, now the phenomenon of mutiny in the Ming army is common, because the arrears of the imperial court are too serious, the soldiers have a lot of complaints about the imperial court. If their lord would give them the benefit of not starving to death, they would support the lord over the court. ”
"For this reason, the words of the general soldiers with heavy troops in each town are more useful than the imperial court, but the generals do not know the imperial court, and they are bound to become the generals' family members, how to talk about the country's sharp blade? Therefore, as soon as the general army rebelled, the soldiers under his tent also rebelled. This is what the imperial court is afraid of and has to worry about. The imperial court will tolerate the general soldiers in every possible way, for fear of provoking a mutiny. ”
"As for the civilian officials themselves, they don't have many soldiers to bring, and these soldiers are not their personal soldiers, and they don't listen to them. Therefore, the governor, the governor, the governor, they can arrest if they want to, and they can't rebel! Coupled with the forward-looking and fearful character of the literati, unlike the martial arts, they don't have so many worries, and the martial artists who hold the military power are terrible! You can't move it lightly! ”
Zhang Biwu was pondering, what he said to Qin Huaiyu had already thought of it in his heart.
And at this time, Qin Huaiyu's voice: "Biwu, you didn't laugh at me when I said it, did you?" If it's wrong, point it out! After all, I'm just a girl! ”
"No!" Zhang Biwu re-examined Qin Huaiyu and said, "Huaiyu, what you said is not bad at all!" I almost thought you were a famous strategist like Zhang Liang, Guo Jia, Zhao Pu, and Fang Xuanling! You have a lot of point! That's what I thought! ”
Zhang Biwu thought to himself: "Huaiyu is so smart! Although she lives deep in the mountains, she can see things so thoroughly! She will definitely be my good helper in the future! I'm so lucky to have her as my wife! Zhang Biwu had a little more affection for this, no, Qin Huaiyu was embarrassed to continue.
Zhang Biwu said: "Huaiyu, keep talking!" Originally, Qin Huaiyu thought a lot, but because Zhang Biwu looked at her affectionately, her heart was rippling, and she couldn't be like just now, because she was all occupied by shyness. This is a woman, too emotional.
Zhang Biwu sighed, in the end, a woman is still a woman! After a long time, Zhang Biwu continued to ask: "Huaiyu, what do you think I think most about now?" ”
Qin Huaiyu also came out of her shyness, and she replied: "In addition to having soldiers, I think you also have to have a consolidated territory, after all, raising soldiers requires money and food!" You can't support an army without a military salary! It is good to have a territory that can provide a steady stream of soldiers and money and food. But you don't have either right now! I have also read the historical books you gave me, my father is a showman, and he also told me when he was a child, that all the great things in ancient times have a consolidated territory, otherwise, everything will be in vain! ”
Zhang Biwu's heart was hit by a blow and said, "Yes! You can't do it without a site! Otherwise, just like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they are rogues, if they want to succeed, they will have to tear the soil and become kings in the end! After the loss of their base area, it was also the reason why they were defeated by the Manchus in the last place! Think about them sweeping the Central Plains, or Jiangnan and Shu are all broken, but in a moment, they fall apart, but there is no solid foundation! ”
"Huh?" Qin Huaiyu couldn't understand Zhang Biwu's words, and in the future, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong would sweep the Central Plains, Jiangnan, and Shudi?
Zhang Biwu only felt speechless, he was talking about the future, of course Qin Huaiyu didn't understand. He just smiled and asked, "Huaiyu, you just think what I just said is a prophecy!" Zhang Biwu turned his words and asked: "My female Zhuge , where do you think I should occupy as my base?" ”
Zhang Biwu was waiting for Qin Huaiyu to answer him......
