Chapter 22 Southwest Toast

He Xi said, "What kind of homes do you have for the toast?"

Zhao Zongshou removed the tiger skin and said, "Sizhou Tian clan, Shuidong Song clan, Panzhou Yang clan, Shuixi Luo clan, Hao clan, Guangxi Cen clan ------" Almost all the Tusi families said it.

He Xi smiled slightly when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "If you say it, there will be no peace in the southwest today."

He Xi didn't believe that all the Tusi would rebel together, and to put it mildly, if the Southwest Tusi had such determination and could coordinate with each other, they would have no problem forming a country by themselves.

However, there are more problems between the toast and the toast than between the toast and the imperial court.

However, He Xi also believes that Zhao Zongshou is not talking nonsense, for example, there are people who support it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to say such a big thing here.

He Xi said, "Since the Southwest Tusi has a heart of loyalty, I will ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to praise you."

Zhao Zongshou said: "If you do this, won't it chill the hearts of distant people."

The Beijing Imperial Court issued an edict to praise the Southwest Tusi, and the Nanjing Imperial Court's vigilance against the Southwest Tusi was naturally very high. It is even possible to punish these toasts in advance. In such a situation, it is strange that the southwest toast can get benefits.

Although the southern army was repeatedly suffocated on the side of the northern army.

It does not mean that the Southern Army cannot fight.

In the Southern Army of this era, there is no problem for a thousand households to deal with more than 10,000 people in the Tusi, and there is no problem for several guards to join forces, and these Tusi will shoot together. Not to mention, the people in the southwest are all veterans, such as Gu Cheng, the exploits of this veteran marquis, almost all of them are brushed in the southwest toast.

Southwest Toast dared to jump back, and they didn't mind going under the knife.

He Xi said, "Then what do they want?"

Zhao Zongshou said, "I can only represent that they will send troops to respond to the Jingshi when necessary?"

He Xi said, "When necessary? When?"

At this moment, He Xi felt a feeling of chicken ribs.

It's really useless.

If they don't have a strategic advantage, these toasts probably won't stand in line, but once Beijing has a strategic advantage over Nanjing, the rest of the war is just chopping vegetables and cutting melons, and they don't need the help of these toasts at all.

The so-called help of these toasts seems to be useful. But in fact, it's not too much to say that it's not useful at all, it's probably a little useful.

Zhao Zongshou said, "Xia Guan thought that when the army captured Guanzhong."

He Xi's heart moved and said secretly: "This is a leak."

He Xi has been hesitating and thinking about whether to open another battlefield in the northwest. Or how to open another battlefield in the northwest. Now that Zhao Zongshou said this, He Xi's first thought was to reveal the rumors, but he thought about it.

In the end, I felt that Zhao Zongshou couldn't know what he thought. He doesn't have that channel.

He Xi said, "Capture Guanzhong?"

Zhao Zongshou was shocked in his heart, and immediately said: "My lord, the minister thinks that the imperial court has hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and it can't be used on both sides of the Yellow River, so it is better to go around to the northwest and join the Guanzhong. And when the army arrived in Guanzhong, the Tusi of each family set up troops in the southwest, went straight to Chongqing, and joined the army in the land of Xiangyang, then the world was divided, and Nanjing was attacked on several sides, and the defeat was decided. His Majesty will return to Nanjing, worship filial piety, and the world will be one. The four seas are leveled.".

He Xi pondered in his heart, and it seemed that there was some possibility for a large number of cavalry to fight in a roundabout way.

However, Zhao Zongshou said that Tusi went north, but he didn't take it to heart, without him, in his opinion, if the army can capture Guanzhong, Shanxi is backed by three sides, even if Geng Bingwen is there, the army will inevitably be unstable, and even Geng Bingwen's withdrawal from Shanxi is inevitable. At that time, half of the north was there, and between the Jianghuai and the Yangtze River, how could Nanjing be able to stop the northern iron horse.

Victory is only a matter of time.

Now that Tusi has sent troops, he will inevitably murder Han Min, which is not necessarily a good thing for Beijing. What's more, He Xi is also worried about Toast's combat effectiveness. Although Guizhou toast is not far from Chongqing, can they really take the toast?

Don't put the soldiers and horses of the early Ming Dynasty

Compared with the soldiers and horses in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Chongqing Jiancheng. There is only one determined general or civil official, and it is normal for the Tusi to not be able to capture it for several months.

He Xi felt that Zhao Zongshou's words had not been rewarded by the fact that he had brought him to use cavalry to carry out a great detour in the northwest.

He Xi didn't answer and said, "What is the attitude of the Mu family?"

Zhao Zongshou said, "I came here because of the attitude of the Mu family."

He Xi looked at Zhao Zongshou and always felt that there was something wrong with this person's speech. But he thought along Zhao Zongshou's train of thought, and he also had some thoughts in his heart.

Is the Mu family going to bet in advance on the Beijing side?

Or it's not an advance bet, it's just matchmaking. If Beijing's advantages will be further obvious in the future, then the Mu family will naturally come to the front from behind, if Beijing will not work in the future. Today's incident The Mu family was not involved, at most it was just a crime of negligence.

He Xi couldn't help but think of Mu Ying. Secretly said: "Brother Mu is arrogant, and now the junior is so stupid. It's really ------."

Although Mu Ying is a nobleman, he came out of blood and fire after all. The heroism on the body is better than those noble temperaments, what is the noble temperament? It is this kind of calculation of interests very clearly, and everything is for profit.

He Xi said, "I might as well make it clear that the toasts in the southwest should guard the land. As long as Tusi does not violate the law and discipline, the imperial court has no intention of using troops against the southwest. As for the rest, sorry not needed. Of course, if they are willing to accept the court's praise, that's another matter."

This is also He Xi's true attitude.

Southwest Development is only the main road. If he could, He Xi hoped to open a major road from Hunan to Myanmar through Yunnan and Guizhou, as well as the ports of the Indian Ocean. This line of communication must be near the county. Thus ensuring control of this road.

As for the rest of the place, forget it. Toast or other forms of existence. As long as it doesn't get in the way of the Ming Dynasty. I'll leave it at that.

After all, in He Xi's view, the same manpower and material resources are invested in Nanyang, North America, and Australia, which are stronger than in the southwest, and even in India is not bad. Why drill a ravine here?

Of course, with the immediate economic development, this road will definitely have an economic siphoning effect, leading people out of the mountains, so as to slowly transform Tusi into a prefecture and county, and it is not impossible. Make a big move, let hundreds of thousands of troops drill the ravine, and forget it.

There are many unexplored places on the earth, so there is no need to stumble here.

He Xi didn't have too many requirements for these toasts. If they are willing to accept Beijing's edict now, it will be very good, Nanjing will definitely get rid of the southwest Tusi as soon as possible, so that many troops in Nanjing will be contained.

As long as these toasts are still alive after the war, He Xi will not hesitate to praise them heavily, and even overseas feudal countries may not be impossible.

But they don't want to. If they want Beijing to come out, they want to take advantage of the chaos to rob. That's it.

Zhao Zongshou sighed in his heart and said secretly, "How is this good?"

Zhao Zongshou put his hope of turning over on He Xi this time, but He Xi was so cold to their conditions that he didn't know what to do. Is it so gray to go back?

After he goes back, unless he goes incognito and never appears in Vanity Fair again, he will not play in the future, and there may be no good end.

"That's right." He Xi said, "After I go back, go and tell Steward Bai so that he can do it himself."

He Xi is not interested in Southwest Toast, but he still has affection for the Mu family. Moreover, the army in the hands of the Mu family is not a rabble of the Southwest Tusi, but an army of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention anything else. At a critical time, Mu was neutralized, so that the southwest Ming army could not be used by Nanjing. It relieved a lot of pressure on the front line.

The Mu family and the southwest toast are not the same at all.

Zhao Zongshou immediately said, "Xia Guan understands."

At this moment, Zhao Zongshou's heart moved, and he said secretly: "This may be where my opportunity lies."

Naturally, he is not ready to go back to the southwest, at least not to go back to the southwest now. From this simple message, he saw a person who could be valued by He Xi,

Not an opportunity for chance. So he prepared for an adventure.

If you become successful and famous, if you don't, it's nothing more than a different place.
