"Don't you want this wheat? What a wickedness! ”

"Why don't you wait until the wheat is harvested this year before leaving!"

"After harvesting the wheat, it's winter, and I can't walk."

"Alas, who let us lose, let's go, it's good to have a way to live."

Listen to the whining in your ear.

Liu Laoba squatted on the edge of the ridge and smoked a dry cigarette, and his face was a little gloomy.

As the first to follow the Heavenly King Liu Zhixie to participate in the "revolution" of the old White Lotus Sect.

Liu Laoba owns a grange of more than 300 acres.

also took a three-room concubine and gave birth to four male soldiers of the second generation, all of whom are very strong, and when they grow up, they can be better than Liu Laoba's martial arts.

But now the Grange has to be abandoned.

Because the higher authorities have issued an order, all the soldiers should go to Chang'an with their families, stored grain, and slaves to assemble, and soon they will go west to the Western Regions, and after driving away the former Qing Governor of the Western Regions, Le Bao, they will continue to go west, and they will make their home in Central Asia.

And Liu Laoba inquired about Shangguan when he went to the table a few days ago.

This is a westward march that cannot be delayed.

Because Luo Dingshan, the general of the Ming army, took two dragoon brigades and followed them all the way, and he would not stop until he drove them to Central Asia.

Therefore, giving up this Zhuangzi is also a last resort.

watched the wives and concubines crying and crying.

Liu Laoba was also very irritable, and immediately scolded: "What are you crying about, the Son of Heaven has arranged a good place for us, that place is richer than Guanzhong!" ”

Abundance is abundance, that is, thousands of miles away, and I don't know how many people will die along the way.

If only I could choose.

Of course, Liu Laoba will be selected.

Even if the land in Guanzhong is barren, at least it is next to the Central Plains.

This went to Central Asia, thousands of miles away, and who knows what will happen in the future?

I heard that the place was surrounded by powerful enemies.

One carelessly.

There is no place to bury it.

But Liu Laoba also knows.

If you don't go, there's nowhere to bury it now.

He was also an old soldier who participated in the battle between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Ming Army in the Central Plains.

has been frightened by the strong combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

Now he didn't dare to turn around and fight with the Ming army, so he could only obey the orders of the Ming court and go all the way west.

In Guanzhong.

Like what happened in Liu Lao Ba Grange, it has happened intensively everywhere in the past few days.

Now under the command of King Pingxi, there are only 12,000 household soldiers left.

The total number of troops did not exceed 20,000.

family members, slaves, the total population is more than 100,000.

And Lebao has 30,000 soldiers there, and the total population of Manchu, Han and Mongolia is about 500,000, and if you mobilize to the limit, you can pull out 50,000 or 60,000 strong men.

In terms of quantity, the Pingxi Domain was inferior to Lebao.

But on the one hand, the soldiers of the old mansion under the command of the Pingxi Domain are not too afraid of the army under the command of Le Bao - that is, the Eight Banners, and the defeated generals under their command have nothing to fear.

On the other hand, the Pingxi Fan also obtained a preferential loan from the Daming Royal Bank, and used the money to purchase a large number of advanced ordnance.

Among them were 5,000 rifled guns and 10,000 finely made flintlock pistols.

And so it goes.

The vassal army under the command of King Pingxi completely eliminated all kinds of cold weapons that were still in use before, arquebuses made by themselves, and flintlock pistols of uneven quality and different calibers captured from the Qing army.

A complete "musketization" was achieved.

In addition, 100 lightweight two-inch field guns and a large number of shells were purchased for front-line support fire.

With such weapons and equipment, 20,000 government soldiers were enough to fight the 30,000 Manchu remnants under Le Bao's command.

With the great migration of more than 100,000 people.

Luo Dingshan also led two dragoon brigades all the way to follow the hundreds of thousands of "remnants of the heavenly kingdom" westward, he wanted to ensure that the remnants of the kingdom of heaven could clear the Western Regions, and at that time, his two dragoon brigades of 10,000 people will also be stationed at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, as the pillar of the Ming Empire's border guards in the western border.

In addition, the imperial court also organized Tuntian at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, with Ili as the center, to completely turn the Saiwai Jiangnan at the foot of Tianshan into a Han land.

Province of the Western Regions.

Ili City.

The topography of the entire Western Regions can be summarized as three mountains and two basins.

From north to south, the Altai Mountains in the north, the Tianshan Mountains in the middle, and the Kunlun Mountains in the south, divide the Western Regions Province into two halves, the Tarim Basin in the south, and the Junggar Basin in the north.

Among them, the center of the Tarim Basin is the vast Karamay Desert, and the agricultural conditions are obviously inferior to the Junggar Basin between the Tianshan Mountains and the Altai Mountains in the north.

Ili is located at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and is the core of the Qing court's rule in the Western Regions Province.

Since the defeat of Zungar, the Qing court has built a large number of military cantonments around Ili, and has migrated more than 100,000 Han immigrants from the interior, and after more than 20 years of reproduction, the Han population has approached 250,000.

However, the fertile soil at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in the area from Ili to Dihua is definitely more cultivated than Guanzhong.

There are far more than 200,000 people who can feed them.

Even with current grain production.

The land that can be reclaimed in this basin in the northern part of the Western Regions Province will definitely not be able to feed tens of millions of people!

The current sparse population of the Western Regions is caused by the war that has lasted for more than 100 years.

And because it is at the crossroads of various forces.

Therefore, this excellent agricultural paradise has not been able to get the opportunity for stable development.

"More than 100,000 people, 20,000 soldiers"

Inside the Governor's Palace.

Short and sturdy, Le Bao, the governor of the Western Regions of the Qing Dynasty, looked a little solemn.

"Master, it's just 20,000 soldiers, let's just fight them in Dihua!"

Zhang Yulong, who used to be the chief soldier of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion, said loudly, looking like he was going to shout and kill.

On the contrary, several banner generals showed fear on their faces.

"Master, you can't fight them in the Western Regions, even if you win the Pingxi Domain, in case you provoke the Ming army."

"Yes, yes, yes, people and land, people and land; Saving land and losing people, people and land, what we have to do now is not to work hard, to avoid its edge! ”

Everyone spoke out to stop Le Bao's idea of raising troops to confront the Western Domain of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, they were not afraid of pacifying the domain, but they were afraid of the big tiger behind the Pingxi domain.

"Report! Lord Governor, Britannica Messenger Wood asks for an audience! ”

Hearing this, Le Bao looked at the generals present, and said loudly: "Zhang Yulong, Zhang Shenhe stay, the others will leave for the time being, and then invite Mr. Wood in." ”

Zhang Yulong was a military general who was single-handedly promoted by Le Bao when he was the governor of Ganshan, and now he is following him all the way to the Western Regions.

And Zhang Shenhe was a Jinshi of Qianlong for forty years.

The official went to the prefect of Ganzhou Prefecture in Gansu.

Also with Le keep the old.

Now he is a strategist by Lebao's side.

These two are Han Chinese, but now they have become the right-hand man in the hands of Le Bao, and Le Bao also incorporated the Han people in the Western Regions into the Eight Banners - although the old Eight Banners are gone, as long as there are people, it is not difficult to rebuild the Eight Banners.

This Eight Banners system was originally a system of plundering and dividing accounts for the army and the people.

It is best used in this environment.

Now under the command of Le Bao, the black-eyed ones such as Man Menghan are the Eight Banners, and the "color eyes" of other colors have to be coated.

Lebao arranged it like this.

In fact, he is also ready to flee west.

He had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at hand, and hundreds of thousands of Manchu, Han and Mongolian people who were united into the Eight Banners.

Can't beat the Ming army.

Can't you beat those ghosts in the west?

Now Le Bao is self-proclaimed as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and Jin Yongyan, the obedient king of Yaozun who went to the central capital, is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he has combined the power of the Qing Dynasty in the Western Regions Province, as if it was already a partisan.

But Lebao also knows it.

The little strength at hand is not enough for the Ming Dynasty to plug the teeth.

Therefore, you can't fight, this little capital, play a little less, one is not careful, maybe the final capital will be lost.

Therefore, with the Ming Dynasty, Le Bao did not want to do it for the time being, and now it is obviously the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

But back then, the Ming Dynasty could have a return of the king, why couldn't the Qing Dynasty? So Le Bao thought that what he had to do was to keep the fire of the Qing Dynasty.

Now you can't beat this Ming Dynasty.

It doesn't mean that you can't beat it in the future.

Maybe the descendants of the Eight Banners will also have a figure like Zhu Daohua, leading the big guy to the east again, and there will be an anti-Ming and Qing Dynasty.

Survival is the most important thing.

I want to keep the fire of revival for the Qing Dynasty!

So where to go?

This matter still needs to be carefully calculated.

After all, it is the most important thing related to whether the Qing Dynasty can be revived in the future.
