Chapter 24: The Beginning of Tzu Yun
Chengdu, the capital of General Li Dingguo.
An ordinary-looking young man was standing at the side door to see a middle-aged man out. Although the middle-aged man was wearing a long robe, he was in good spirits and walked with the wind, and he was obviously a person with martial arts. Coming to the door, the young man whispered, "Uncle Zhou, please do everything in Hunan, ochre is waiting for the good news from uncle!" ”
The middle-aged man surnamed Zhou hugged his fists neatly and said impassionedly, "Zhou has entrusted his daughter to Master Fan Xia, and there is no need to worry about this body!" can contribute a point or two to the country before the old man dies of illness, although he has no regrets in death! When Zhou goes here, he will train an elite soldier for the general! The two looked at each other hand in silence.
A person surnamed Zhou, surnamed Zhou Minglang, is one of the famous "Qilu Sanying", and Li Yingqiong's father Li Ning is equally famous. And his daughter is another one of the "Three Ying and Two Clouds", worshipping Zhou Qingyun under Master Dianxia. Zhou Lang and Li Ning were both patriots, and in the original book, they were unwilling to serve the Qing court after the death of the Ming Dynasty and completely despaired of the general situation in the world. Only then did they return to the mountains and forests, give up reality and pursue the ethereal fairy road, and finally devoted themselves to the Emei Gate.
This is also one of Emei's established strategies - to promote fatalism while guiding those people with lofty ideals to stay away from the world to cultivate immortals, so that they can pin their hopes on the "afterlife". Remove these people from the general trend of the world, lest they continue to stir up the storm.
Seeing Zhou Lang away, the young man standing at the door smiled, who could it be if it wasn't Lu Yuan! However, Lu Yuan here is now named Lu Ochre, and he is a staff member in the mansion of General Li Dingguo, and his appearance is his original image. It's very different from today's demonic appearance.
At this time, the alley behind the house was silent, and when Lu Zheshi turned around, his eyes looked in the direction of Erweiju Restaurant. and Lu Yuan, who was sitting at the window on the second floor looking this way, his eyes collided in the dark.
Among the three heroes of Qilu, Li Ning's qualifications for wheel cultivation are better than Zhou Lang's. But if you want to talk about the value of leading troops to fight for the world, Zhou Lang is far above Li Ning! Because Zhou Lang is not only a civil and military all-rounder, but also far-sighted. On the same day, the "Killing Hu Order" appeared and blocked the Qing soldiers north of the Yangtze River. The foolish and loyal Li Ning voted for Nanming's ******, and a few years later, he saw that Nanming was corrupt and difficult to save. had to resign depressedly. He was completely disappointed in the Southern Dynasty and took his daughter directly to Shuzhong to live in seclusion.
However, after observing the heroes of the world, Zhou Lang chose the most low-key Li Dingguo early in the morning. Joined his command early.
Today, the drunken Taoist entered Chengdu, and he happened to use the cultivation of immortals to tempt Zhou Lang! He had already laid the groundwork a few times before, and was about to finish his work today, but he was tripped by Lu Yuan in the restaurant. And on the other side. Lu ochre finally persuaded General Li Dingguo. Officially exalted Zhou Lang and entrusted him with an important task - this kind of kindness can basically only be repaid with death in this era, and there is no second possibility.
Zhou Lang was too late to cultivate immortals at this time, and at this point, he completely broke away from the Emei camp. After the drunken Taoist knew about it, he could only sigh, sighing at the unpredictability of heaven's will, and he didn't realize that someone had done something in the middle! In his thoughts, Zhou Lang is in the future Emei swords. can only be regarded as a marginal character. If it weren't for his daughter Zhou Qingyun, it would be dispensable at all!
But I wouldn't have thought of it. Zhou Lang is a fierce Tyrannosaurus rex in the overall situation of fighting for the world! On the cornerstone of Changmei Zhenren's technique, there was a tiny crack unconsciously......
*****
When the "Killing Hu Order" isolated the north and south of the Yangtze River, Lu Yuan used the power of luck to give seven people dreams.
Among these seven people, there are the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the first assistant and the general of the dynasty, the remnant of Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo, the remnant of Li Zicheng, the remnant of Yan Yingyuan, and the last person is Wu Sangui, who entered the customs with the Qing army...... The content of the dream may be different, but the general meaning is to remind them that the power of the "Kill Hu Order" is limited, and it can only block the Qing army for ten years at most, so please prepare early!
Of course, this dream is fake, and it is also to paralyze the Emei side, but its effect on measuring people's hearts is full of real gold!
Emperor Fu Wang of the Southern Ming Dynasty was the first to know. After he learned the news, he actually scolded Ran Min for being disloyal, unfilial, and fatherless! and ordered that all the eulogies written by those scholars in memory of Ran Min be withdrawn! He still dreams that Ran Min will protect his Zhu family for thousands of years, but he only thinks about it for ten years!
The next day, King Fu's thought changed again - "It turns out that there are only ten years left." From then on, he began to completely abandon his efforts to control the imperial court, indulging in alcohol and drunken dreams every day. After trying to enjoy all the glory and wealth within ten years, he will die, and he will not even plan to leave his children and grandchildren. And the Manchu civil and military had different thoughts, nothing more than fighting for power and profit, and dividing the territory - anyway, in their eyes, it was real to hold chips and their own family in their hands!
In the future, even if you sell the country, you can sell it for a good price!
The Southern Ming Dynasty court, so far it is a complete pill. From here, you can see how dark Lu Yuan's heart is with this move!
You must know that if the Ming Dynasty dies directly as it did in history, it will leave many people with a lot of unwillingness and thoughts. They will think that the Ming Dynasty is not bad, if it is not because of Li Zicheng, if it is not because of the Donglin Party, if it is not because of the climate of the Xiaoice River, if it is not because of XXX...... My Ming Dynasty can fight for at least another three hundred years! You must know that after that, the Zheng family persisted for decades, even if at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were still people who came to the revolution under the banner of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty", you know that the Ming Dynasty did have a place where it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But Lu Yuan's ten years of letting Nanming Xiao/Chao/Tingduo survive this time completely exhausted the last trace of national fortune of the Ming Dynasty!
These ten years are the ten years when Nanming is in a corner of peace, drunk and dreaming of death, and it is also a decade when the blood of those loyal and patriotic people has become cold! Even if a man like Li Ning chooses to abandon Nanming in the end, you know how unpopular Nanming is! When the last bit of the Ming Dynasty was exhausted, the Ming Dynasty was completely dead......
Others were chosen - the remnants of Li Zicheng lacked a righteous reputation and had a bad reputation; Yan Yingyuan had no courage and lacked the skills of political struggle, and was easily taken away by Nanming; Wu Sangui is bold, but it's a pity that he has a ghost in his heart! He didn't tell anyone about the dream, but asked soldiers to guard the three towns of Wuhan. Obviously, it is planned that once the "killing order" loses its blocking effect, it will first occupy half of the south of the Yangtze River. Then tear the earth and seal the king, and rule across the river from the Qing Dynasty!
In my heart, I have the idea of "cutting the territory and becoming hegemonic".
Only Li Dingguo, who was overjoyed after waking up from his dream, shouted "God borrowed me for ten years"! Then the first order signed was to "streamline the army", and all the veterans in the army over 30 years old were disarmed and returned to the field, after all, there would definitely be nothing to do with them in ten years. After reducing the army and reducing the financial burden, he surrendered to the Southern Ming court and sought the name of righteousness.
Because he bribed the chief assistant of the dynasty, the Southern Ming court gave him the right to arbitrarily decide the seven southwestern provinces and pay for both military and political affairs, so that Li Dingguo became the de facto king of the southwest.
A few days later, a young layman named Lu Zheshi joined his command and became a staff member of Li Dingguo, who was only twenty-nine years old at the time. The first suggestion offered by this staff member was the "Ten Strategies for Tuntian", which caused the whole government to laugh at it - you must know that this is Chengdu in Shuzhong, and the five-year-old children here know Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's Ten Strategies for Tuntian, and he actually dares to talk about Tuntian in Shuzhong!
However, Li Dingguo forcibly carried it out, and the whole army and soldiers were put into storage, and the horses were released in Nanshan, water conservancy was built, and farmland was reclaimed -- the following year, there was a severe drought in the whole country, and Sichuan became one of the only four provinces with a bumper harvest.
The following year, Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang had an internal bar, Sun Kewang wanted to lead the Qing army into Sichuan, and was killed in front of the Qing army by the "Kill Hu Ling"!
And that year, Lu Ochre offered the "elixir" again, and at that time, the whole province was up and down, and they attacked it in groups! He said that he used the means of a priest to harm the Lord! But Li Dingguo ate it without saying a word, and the sky was so pouting, only when he vaguely guessed who Ran Min was, the fool didn't eat it! Since then, Li Dingguo has been in good health and in good spirits, and at the rate of one son a year, he has given birth to eight sons in one go, which is the envy of everyone.
Coupled with the fact that Lu Yuan secretly killed dozens of assassins sent by the Qing court, the Southern Ming Dynasty, and even some immortal cultivation forces, Li Dingguo's power finally stabilized and gradually revealed a thriving atmosphere.
At this time, Emei obviously also noticed that on the side of Chengdu Mansion, Li Dingguo's capital governor was lucky, and there was a dragon elephant! This is very different from the prophecy left by the real person with long eyebrows!
At this time in Chengdu, both good and evil are deploying troops, and the plot of the sword fight in Ciyun Temple seems to be about to break out. And under the surface of the water, the undercurrent is surging, and the edge vaguely points to Li Dingguo, the governor of the southwest!
At this time, Lu Yuan, who had lived in seclusion for more than half a year, Shi Shiran entered Chengdu. (To be continued.) )
