Volume 1 Chapter 67: All the Way West (1)
Li Rufeng said that the rise of spittle, spittle and stars sprayed all over the sky, Ling Jingyang had to sit farther away, Li Rufeng saw Ling Jingyang and kept a certain distance from him, and Ling Jingyang smiled embarrassedly, then covered his mouth and refused to continue talking.
"Like the wind, these all need silver, without silver, where to buy horses, where to recruit soldiers, after recruitment, what about military salaries, so silver is the key, with silver, there is the capital to do other things."
Speaking of silver, Li Rufeng is full of disdain, since he followed the Dashun army, it is much better than in the Ming army, there is military salary, food, usefulness, you can give full play to the true colors of the border army.
"Isn't it easy without silver?"
"Oh, you have a plan?"
Ling Jingyang thought that Li Rufeng would have a trick, Li Rufeng was very arrogant, and he went to rob the king of the Zhu family domain without silver, they were rich enough to rival the country, the grain in the granary could not be eaten, and the silver in the cellar was moldy.
"Those vassal kings of the Zhu family will be beaten one day, and after beating them, where will they rob the silver?"
Li Rufeng panicked for a while, yes, robbed all those Zhu family vassal kings, where will they rob the silver in the future? He looked at Ling Jingyang in horror, he used to be a sentry commander, just charge with his subordinates, he never cared about these things, but now it is different, he is the second-in-command of Shiying, and he can no longer be as brave and resourceless as before, he and Ling Jingyang said timidly: "Du Wei, can Tuntian?" ”
"How can I have a field for you?"
Li Rufeng used to be a border army, and he saw a lot of guards reduced to thousands of slaves, farming for thousands of households, and it was precisely because the guards became slaves that the guard system collapsed, and the Ming military system also changed, from the development of the guard system to the recruitment system, and then to the current family soldier system, he is no stranger to Tuntian, and Ling Jingyang said that the Zhu family has a lot of imperial villages, and those landlords and gentry also have a lot of good land, robbed them, and then distributed them to the people, there will be a harvest, and there is a harvest can be exchanged for silver.
Ling Jingyang did not deny his opinion, but persuaded Li Rufeng from another angle: "Rufeng, we no longer make enemies on all sides?" ”
Li Rufeng doesn't quite understand, Ling Jingyang patiently analyzed the general trend of the world with him, the Dashun army broke through the capital, and the northern gentry and eunuchs came to vote, these gentry and eunuchs are rich and rival the country, and the family has thousands of acres of fertile land, robbed them, they are bound to turn to others, the current general trend of the world, Jiannu, Nanming, Daxi, Dashun divide the world, these people have a large number of people and land in their hands, they go to surrender to other forces, isn't it digging the foundation of Dashun?
Li Rufeng seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and Ling Jingyang emphasized to him that Dashun had broken through the capital, but there were still a large number of remnants of the Ming army in Jiangnan, would they choose to avenge Lord Chongzhen and join forces with Jiannu to attack Dashun?
Li Rufeng looked nearby, there was no one else, lowered his voice and said to Ling Jingyang: "Duwei, what do you mean, let's join forces with Daming?" ”
Ling Jingyang shook his head, and also said in a low voice to Li Rufeng: "It's not enough to join forces, but we must not continue to attack the remnant Ming forces, you have also seen the strength of Jiannu in the past few days, can my Dashun army defeat Jiannu and Guanning army with the strength of one army?" ”
"The enemy is not good, Jiannu is really fierce, and Guan Ningjun is his lackey, and the last general thinks that he should avoid his edge."
"It's good to avoid its edge, but we have to let other people do the same, don't we avoid the war, and the other departments continue to attack the Ming army, isn't this letting Jiannu pick peaches?"
Ling Jingyang said very clearly, Li Rufeng hurriedly said, Ling Jingyang asked him to do whatever he wanted, he would do it, if anyone else didn't follow, he would be the first to chop them, Ling Jingyang nodded lightly, and continued: "We withdrew to the Santun camp, and then the whole army retreated to the west, retreated to Shanxi, and turned the Shanxi Ming army into our army." ”
"My lord, wherever you take us, I will follow you, why do you want to annex the Ming army in Shanxi, they have surrendered to my Dashun, and it is my Dashun soldiers and horses."
"It won't be long before the men at both ends of these rat hands will jump sideways repeatedly, and in their eyes there is no loyalty to speak of, and we must use their army before they rebel, expand the size of our stone camp, and if necessary, occupy some cities, so that our troops and horses can have a place to stay."
Ling Jingyang's words made Li Ruyun foggy, he still didn't turn a corner, thinking that the Shanxi Ming army would not surrender, Ling Jingyang patted him on the head, and said: "The group of Ming troops in Shanxi can surrender to our Dashun in an organization, and they can also surrender to Jiannu in an organization, as well as those businessmen in Shanxi, some of the things they did with Jiannu, don't you know?" ”
This time Li Rufeng finally turned a corner, those merchants in Shanxi sold various strategic materials such as grain and pig iron to Jiannu, he had heard of it, but the Shanxi Ming army surrendered to Jiannu, he still couldn't figure it out: "Shanxi still has my Dashun old battalion soldiers and horses, so how can Jiang Huang jump up?" ”
"He doesn't need to jump, the Jiannu army is pressing, killing the generals of our army in Shanxi, the city head changes the king's flag, and he can become the Jiannu vanguard army overnight, at that time, my army will not be compressed by Jiannu in a province of Shaanxi, Shaanxi is barren, how can I feed a million army?"
Li Rufeng thought that Ling Jingyang didn't know Zhang Tianlin's prestige, so he kindly introduced Zhang Tianlin.
"Captain, don't underestimate General Zhang's prestige, with him stationed in Shanxi, Jiang Jiu's men and horses dare not move."
How could Ling Jingyang not know Zhang Tianlin, the Jiannu army approached Shanxi, Zhang Tianlin was killed by Jiang Xuan, and many generals of the Dashun Army were killed with him, and it was also because Zhang Tianlin was careless and did not guard against Jiang Jiu's rebellion, which made the Shanxi Ming Army become the pawn of the Qing army, which greatly compressed the living space of the Dashun army.
He wanted to completely subdue Li Rufeng tonight, and said to Li Rufeng with enthusiasm: "People will change, like the wind, you have to support me, but also believe in me, with our two brothers, in this troubled world." ”
Li Rufeng and Ling Jingyang have not known each other for a long time, that is, they met when they were supporting Baoding Mansion, at that time both of them were sentinels, he was the cavalry of the rear battalion, and cooperated with Ling Jingyang to open the way, at first he looked down on Ling Jingyang, and Ling Jingyang was single-handed, after being defeated, Ling Jingyang did not snort, but was very humble and asked him for riding and archery skills, so that he would not be embarrassed in front of the soldiers.
He has always been very grateful to Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang told him so much tonight, and he also understood Ling Jingyang's intentions, and said to Ling Jingyang: "Captain, if you say you go to Shanxi, you will go to Shanxi, let's turn the Shanxi Ming Army into our Shiying brothers." ”
Ling Jingyang punched Li Rufeng hard in the chest: "Good brother, follow me, I won't let you down." ”
