"God bless Dajing! Emperor. This is our last and best chance!

Now the battle between Wu Sangui and Li Zhongshan is a bit like the battle between Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

So you can't learn from Zhang Shicheng and watch Chen Zhu decide or lose, you have to go all out!

Because you're the same as Zhang Shicheng. It's all the emperor! ”

Yue Le's advice to Geng Jingzhong is, of course, "stud"!

The reason why he suggested this was because, on the one hand, Yue Le could vote for Wu but not for Ming - he had voted for Ming once before, and then rebelled with Geng Jingzhong, and wanted to kill Li Zhongshan and Li Erfuchen, how could he dare to vote for Ming?

On the contrary, there is no problem for him to vote for Wu, it is nothing more than a "feudal position", it is impossible to divide the territory and hold real power, but there is no problem with a rich man.

On the other hand, Yue Le really wants to help his son-in-law fight, if he doesn't fight, he will wait for death. Maybe there is? No matter how bad it is, investing in Wu Sangui will not lose "peace and happiness, Chen stay and return to life".

If it falls into the hands of Li Yat-sen, it will be an absolute dead end!

Because Geng Jingzhong did something in Nanjing to suddenly use a knife against his own people, if he didn't kill him, how could he bring the Ming team?

"Guozhang, I know what you say!" Geng Jingzhong thought for a while, and then asked, "Shall we fight hard now?" Do you want to wait for Wu Sangui and Li Zhongshan to make a big move? ”

Do you know that way?

As soon as Yue Le heard this, his heart was half cold—he couldn't take it!

"Your Majesty," Yue Le said, "how do you know that Li Yat-sen will not come to destroy us before he fights Wu Sangui?" ”

"What? He'll be first. Isn't he afraid that Wu Sangui will go down the river? ”

Yue Le shook his head and said, "I can't stop Jiujiang from blocking Li Zhongshan's way west along the Yangtze River to Wuchang, so he can only watch Wu Sangui eat Li Zicheng." Similarly, Anqing also blocked Wu Sangui's straight road along the river, and with Anqing in hand, it was impossible for Wu Sangui to advance to Nanjing at once. Therefore, it is very likely that Li Zhongshan will first gather heavy troops to destroy or cripple us, and then go to fight Wu Sangui! ”

As soon as Geng Jingzhong heard this, he immediately panicked, these days, Li Yat-sen first went on a northern expedition, and after returning to Nanjing, he has been busy sorting out the interior, and handed over the matter of fighting Dajing to Li Fuchen, Liu Jinzhong and Zheng Jing.

These three alone have already made Geng Jingzhong anxious, Zheng Jing and Liu Jinzhong have grabbed a lot of territory in Fujian and Zhejiang, and Li Fuchen is even more fierce, snatching all Geng Jingzhong's territory in Anhui, and then going to Jiangxi to grab the territory of the Qing Dynasty - fortunately, he changed the direction of the attack, otherwise Geng Jingzhong's territory would have to be reduced by a few more prefectures!

"King An, that. So what should we do with the surname Li? Geng Jingzhong's brows tightened when he asked.

"First of all. You have to recognize the Great Zhou Emperor as the Emperor of Shuzu! and proclaimed himself a minister to the Great Zhou, just like the Qing Dynasty. Yue Le said, "What do you do, first, you can strengthen your momentum, second, you can reassure people's hearts, and third, you can consolidate the alliance of Zhou, Jing, and Qing!" ”

"Good!" Geng Jingzhong nodded heavily, "I am already two generations lower than the Great Zhou Tianzi. Besides, Kangxi called himself the minister Sun Xuanye on the excerpt he gave to Wu Sangui, so why can't I call my nephew Sun Jingzhong? And I'm older than Kangxi, then I'm Kangxi's brother! ”

Okay, Kangxi has another emperor brother!

"Secondly, we have to temporarily abandon Fujian, concentrate all our forces in Zhejiang, and then look for an opportunity to attack Jiaxing Mansion, Huzhou Mansion, Huizhou Mansion or Guangxin Mansion!"

Yue Le was probably afraid that Geng Jingzhong wouldn't understand, and deliberately explained: "We can't disperse our forces anymore, we have to clench our fists, and then slam into any of the four prefectures of Jia, Hu, Hui, and Guangzhou, and hit hard!" After the fight, you don't have to occupy a territory, you can grab a handful and leave, just like Emperor Taizong back then. Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and plundered generally!

If we do this, we can contain Li Yat-sen's forces; second, we can accumulate wealth and enhance our own strength; Third, we can also avoid being captured by Li Yat-sen for the main force for a decisive battle, of course, our own old battalion also has to move a nest, we can move the old battalion to the mountains on all sides, and there is also the Xin'an River to rely on, and it is convenient to launch a counterattack in Anhui and Jiangxi, Jiande County, the capital of Yanzhou. ”

"Good!" Geng Jingzhong nodded, "That's it!" He smiled and said to Yue Le, "Guozhang, you are really my minister, I will listen to you when it comes to wars in the future!" ”

In the second year of the Ming Republic, November 13.

Nanking.

In the newly completed hall of the National People's Council, a group of red-robed and black-gauze parliamentarians were holding the just-published "Guoshi Commentary" and were sucking in cool air. Everyone's face is not very good-looking, you look at me, I look at you.

Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi, Gu Yanwu, and Chen Gongyin, who led the discussion, all sat on the Taishi chair, and they also had a copy of the "Guoshi Commentary" for each person, and looked at it carefully over and over again, as if this issue of the "Guoshi Commentary" had not been read by the four of them before it was published.

The councillors below were already talking to each other.

This Wu Sangui is too shameless, right? He is a four-surnamed domestic slave, capricious, and a traitor who arrogates the emperor, and he actually wants to avenge the first emperor of our Ming Dynasty! Speaking of the death of the first emperor, he, Wu Sangui, is also responsible! The first emperor would have asked him to save his life a long time ago, if it weren't for his grinding along the way, would the first emperor be able to hang on the coal mountain? ”

"Hmph, the first emperor, the first emperor, the first emperor who wants revenge is not only Yizong, Yongli Ye is also the first emperor! Who will avenge Yongli Ye's revenge? ”

"Any revenge for Yizong is an excuse! Look at it, when he defeats Jiangxia, he will definitely say that Li Zicheng went to Anqing or Nanchang, and then send troops to fight Anqing and Nanchang! This old thief is going to destroy our Ming Dynasty! ”

"What a brazen rebel in the ages!"

"If this Wu Sangui is the first brazen traitor in the ages, then Geng Jingzhong is probably the second brazen traitor in the ages. He actually issued an edict saying that he had recognized Wu Sangui as his uncle, and in the future, he would call Wu Sangui the uncle emperor and Kangxi the younger emperor. Yes, Wu Sangui, Kang Mazi, and Geng Jingzhong have become a family now! ”

"Speaking of family, the general and Wu Sangui seem to be close to each other."

Hearing this question, Huang Zongxi, the leader of the council, finally took his eyes back from the article on the eighteen ways to eat chili peppers in the "Guoshi Commentary" (signed by Mr. Mo Chou), and then looked at a group of talking political officials, and coughed heavily.

Huang Zongxi is the real original creator of the theory of "Yuanjun" and "Yuanchen", and there are many disciples, and he has presided over new-style Confucian schools such as Guangdong Restoration School and Nanjing Restoration School, and he also entered the Heaven and Earth Society early, and now he is still the boss of the Heaven and Earth Society!

Today's Tiandihui is no longer a rebel organization, but has evolved into the largest "meeting" in the National People's Council.

Since the mode of selecting the political officials of the National People's Congress refers to the Han Dynasty's three-elder election system, the method of bottom-up and layer-by-layer selection will be gradually implemented - the current national people's political officials at the imperial court level are still decided by several major shareholders such as Li Zhongshan, Li Fuchen, Zheng Jing, Chen Yonghua, and Lu Sanhao. Therefore, Huang Zongxi, who is the boss of the Heaven and Earth Society and Li Yat-sen's mentor and friend, still has a high prestige among the councilors.

Hearing him snort like this, the others were silent. Huang Zongxi slowly raised his head: "What are you talking about?" The general's marriage with Wu Guogui and Wu Yingxiong is all to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty! Wu Sangui was the king of the west of the imperial court before, and if our Ming Dynasty can recover, he is a great contribution! In order to use the strength of the Wu family, the general married with him, which was also for the country and the people. And in the future. This marriage relationship may not be able to be used to divide and win over the princes of the Wu family. After all, Wu Sangui is already dying, and now this time, it is also the last fight, if he loses, will Wu Zhou fall apart, who can say clearly? ”

Huang Zongxi's disciple Wan Sinian is also a councillor now, and now of course he also handed over a message to the teacher, and immediately asked: "Teacher, how should the council cooperate with the Great General's Mansion and Shangshu Province this time?" ”

"We have to pass a resolution to appeal to the people and scholars of the world, telling them that the enemies of the Ming Dynasty and the enemies of the Republic have now united and want to destroy the Republic of the Ming Dynasty of our people and scholars!

Therefore, every countryman and soldier should now stand up, have money to contribute, and make a strong contribution to defend the Ming Dynasty and the Republic. And all the Ming people who are not yet Chinese, but want to become Chinese, and have the ability to become Chinese, should now also seize the opportunity to serve the country from the army or donate money to help the army, or buy a large number of Ming national bonds and lend money to the imperial court.

We should also tell the people of the world that it is very cost-effective to become a Ming country and a national soldier now. Because when the Ming Dynasty defeats Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong, and Kangxi, and dominates the country, it will be even more difficult to become a countryman and a countryman.

And when the Ming Dynasty unifies the sea, the Ming Dynasty will have the fertile soil of Liaodong, the Tianfu of Sichuan, and will also become the suzerainty of Korea, Japan, Luzon, Annam, Java, Siam, Burma, Mongolia and other countries. As for those who want to be officials, the bigger the territory and the more subject countries, the more opportunities there are to become officials! In the final analysis, this republican Ming Dynasty is the industry of our people and scholars, and if we don't maintain it ourselves, who can maintain it? ”

Huang Zongxi was a big-mouthed cannon when he was young, and although his reputation was great, most of it was a false name. And now after experiencing a series of ups and downs of national disaster, saving the country, losing the country, destroying the world, recovering the world and restoring the country, he is really enlightened, and he really loves the country and the republic!

So what he's saying now is from the bottom of his heart!

"Yes, yes! Now Daming has a share of us, as well as those countrymen and soldiers! If we don't take good care of it, it's really gone, and it's miserable! ”

"Those who protect the country are the responsibility of the people and the soldiers! We must make this truth clear to everyone, now is the critical moment of the rise and fall of the Ming Republic, all the countrymen, the countrymen, must go all out to protect the country and protect the family! ”

"Yes, it's too miserable to lose the country and the world, if you lose."

Most of these councillors who are waiting for a meeting in the council hall today are the same as Huang Zongxi, they have really experienced the destruction of the country and the world!

Although they are the same kind of people as those scholars and doctors in the Chongzhen Dynasty, their experiences are different, and their thoughts are different. Now when I think that the Republic of Daming will not be finished, I am really worried about the country and the people!

They all know that Daming is going to be gone, and these people are not going to change the court as officials, but there is a high probability that the family will be ruined, and many of them have seen this kind of thing with their own eyes! And no matter what kind of court you change, it's not as good as your own court!

"Rest assured, it is impossible for us to lose the Ming Dynasty. Because we have millions of Chinese people! ”

As soon as these parliamentarians began to worry about losing, Li Zhongshan's loud voice suddenly sounded!

Everyone quickly stood up, and then turned to the door of the political hall, and saw the "iron triangle" of Li Zhongshan, Lu Sanhao, and Chen Yonghua walking in together. Among them, Li Yat-sen also walked with the dragon and tiger steps that his six relatives did not recognize, and at the same time said to the people in the hall with the same full voice as neutrality and confidence: "Our Republic of the Ming Dynasty is different from Wu Sangui's Zhou State, Geng Jingzhong's Puppet Jing, and Kangxi's Hu Qing. And Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong, and Kangxi are all the heads of a family. How can we lose with the support of millions of people and tens of millions of people? ”

Daming is a joint-stock company owned by employees!

The Great Zhou and Dajing are both family businesses, and the Great Qing Dynasty is a partnership. And this competition is more than fighting!

Therefore, as long as the republican Ming is fully mobilized, it is impossible to lose!

What Li Yat-sen has to do now is to mobilize the people, and it is impossible to directly mobilize so many people regardless of the current productive forces of tens of millions of people. But as long as the strength of millions of Chinese people and soldiers can be mobilized, it is not something that Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong, and Kangxi can fight against!

However, to complete the mobilization of millions of Chinese people and soldiers, it is not just a matter of paying lip service.

We must first give those countrymen and soldiers some sense of urgency, otherwise they may not want to bulldoze the whole world, and they don't want to, and Li Yat-sen is also very difficult.

Now that Wu Sangui has taken the initiative to fight, it is good, and Geng Jingzhong is about to move, which is even more in line with Li Zhongshan's intentions.

As for Kangxi, don't think about staying out of the matter, it's impossible!

As long as the Ming Dynasty completed the war mobilization, how could it be possible to let the Qing Dynasty go?

And after the people and scholars feel the urgency, it is the mobilization of public opinion and the economy -- the resolutions of the parliaments and political councils at all levels, the propaganda in the newspapers, the sale of treasury bonds, and the acceleration of the promotion of the identity of the countrymen, all of which must be handled as soon as possible.

At the same time that the mobilization of public opinion and economy begins, the mobilization of the military must also follow!

And military mobilization is not as simple as recruiting troops. You have to cooperate with the last victory!

Winning a battle is the best military mobilization!

However, Li Zhongshan has no good news to announce now.

Li Yat-sen sat down on a Taishi chair, and Chen Yonghua, Lu Sanhao, and other parliamentary officials also sat down. Then everyone's eyes focused on Li Zhongshan, the great general Lu Shangshushi.

"Just got the news," Li Zhongshan said, "Wu Sangui's banner of the Son of Heaven has appeared in Hankou. Li Fengtian will evacuate Jiangxia County within twelve hours and turn towards Mubu Mountain! In addition, Hanyang County, the capital county of Hanyang Province, as well as Anlu, the capital county of Dean Province, and Zhongxiang, the capital county of Anlu Province, have all fallen or are about to fall! Huanggang, the capital county of Huangzhou Prefecture, should not be able to hold out for too long. ”

In fact, there is no way to defeat these failures, as long as Wu Sangui is determined to tear his face, it is impossible to hold the entire territory of so many state capitals with Li Zicheng's strength. However, in addition to the two prefectures of Hanyang and Anlu, the other three prefectures with large mountainous areas are still likely to persist in the struggle against Wu!

The backbones of Li Zicheng's subordinates are actually the remnants of the thirteen families in Kuidong, and they like to establish a base in the mountainous areas the most.

And when Li Zicheng allocated land to these old backbones, he also deliberately chose the valleys and mountain cols that they preferred, and it is estimated that he also had the idea of entering the mountains if he couldn't do it.

If the marching great Sima Hu under Li Zicheng could act according to the tricks of the Great General's Mansion with one shot, then Wu Sangui would have to know what mountain guerrilla warfare and mountain sports warfare were! Oh, he's met him in Yunnan and Guizhou, so he's quite familiar.

However, the army of the Loyal Prince's Mansion is not comparable to those Tusi armed forces!

And there is a republican Ming behind them!

Thinking of this, Li Zhongshan said again: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers. And it's not a bad thing for Wu Sangui to take Jiangxia, Hanyang, and Hankou, and he doesn't take those territories, so how can he go deep into Jiangxi and Anhui, and finally be broken by me? ”

"The general wants to go west?" A councillor asked.

Li Zhongshan nodded: "The combined forces of my father, King Nan and King Zhong, have arrived on the periphery of Jiujiang, and they plan to break Jiujiang Mansion first, and then face Wu Sangui according to Jiujiang!"

This official felt that it was a good choice to fight in Jiujiang, so he decided to personally lead an army of 100,000 into Tun Anqing and wait for Wu Sangui to come to a decisive battle! ”

"What about Geng Jingzhong?" Someone asked again immediately.

Li Zhongshan smiled: "Geng Jingzhong is not worth mentioning. He is just a dog guarding the house, and when I repel Wu Sangui and go back to clean him up for three or five months, I can completely wipe out the little power of the Geng family. So don't worry! ”

Li Yat-sen's words are half-truths and half-truths, and the purpose is of course to confuse the enemy - although most of the parliamentarians are supporters of the republican Ming system, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong among them.

Even if it doesn't, the same confusing fake news will be spread through other channels, and it may not be able to deceive Wu Sangui, but it is still certain to coax Geng Jingzhong.
