Although the strength of the Qing army was analyzed and judged, the real combat had to take into account other factors.

Huang Li knew that to convince Li Laiheng, he would never speak nonsense, and he should be more justified and well-founded.

This is a test of oneself. If it is not convincing, it can only develop according to the historical trajectory and end with the final tragedy.

So, he continued to ask Li Laiheng according to the topic he had planned, in order to get more information.

"I dare to ask the Duke, what difficulties should I face now to take the initiative to attack the Qing army in Huguang or the Qing army in Sichuan?"

Li Laiheng looked at Huang Li thoughtfully and said slowly: "Although the Qing army in Huguang was defeated, there were still nearly 15,600 troops. The main reason was that Yiling City was solid and the situation was dangerous. It was difficult to conquer it with naval guards."

After pausing, he continued to add: "The Qing army in Sichuan is relatively strong, and our troops cannot compete with it alone. After the new defeat, it is not easy to join forces with the troops to fight."

Huang Li understood a little. The counterattack on the Western Front failed, the losses were quite large, and the people's hearts were even more dispersed. Whether it was to continue to attack the Qing army in Huguang or to attack Wushan again, it was estimated that Li Laiheng's troops could only complete it alone.

This directly rejected the counterattack of the Qing army in Sichuan. Even the Qing army in Huguang, which had the weakest combat power, could not carry out a powerful counterattack.

Seeing Huang Li frowning and speechless for a while, Li Laiheng's eyes flashed and said meaningfully: "Since the unfortunate death of General Wen, the thirteen families have no leader. Although the Duke of Wan was the leader, they each have their own thoughts and cannot obey orders."

There are many people and many dragons and droughts, which is normal.

Huang Li looked at Li Laiheng, focused and listened very seriously, this was a possible turning point.

"The government recommended Duke Wan as its leader, but King Zhu Shenglu of Dong'an was attached to Hao Yaoqi. The court appointed Mao Shoudeng, the highest official in contact with each company, to be in Shizhou Wei occupied by Duke Jing Guangxing..."

This is the strategy of dividing and governing the various armed forces implemented by the Yongli court or the Southern Ming court.

Due to historical issues, the remaining troops of the former Dashun Army were discriminated against and excluded during the Southern Ming Dynasty. They were always used a lot, but they refused to reuse them.

With his qualifications (a Jinshi of the Tianqi Dynasty) and age, and more importantly, his spirit of hard work, loyalty to the country, and his overall vision, the Thirteen families showed a brief and sincere unity.

Huang Li listened attentively as Li Laiheng was telling, and a strange feeling appeared in his mind again. Just like the film and television films were moving out, he could actually predict what Li Laiheng would say next.

"Zhaozong (Yongli Temple Name) died in Yunnan, and the banner of the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty fell, which inevitably made people pessimistic and desperate."

Li Laiheng looked at Huang Li and couldn't help but reveal his true feelings and full of anticipation. "If a close royal family stood up, it might be able to unite people's hearts, boost morale, and rebuild the banner of Ming and Anti-Qing."

Huang Li blinked his eyes and predicted what Li Laiheng would say next, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Duke, I am not a royal family, nor my surname is Zhu, nor the third prince of Zhu. You can tell from my age, it's not right!"

I am only twenty-six years old, so anxious? Even the youngest son of Chongzhen, Zhu Cixuan, is over thirty now, right?

How could I have this idea? My surname is Huang, but I don’t have any father with Zhu and Li. Is there a third prince? Do you want to make a Hot Wheel or something?

Li Laiheng didn't say anything, and looked at Huang Li's expression intently, as if he wanted to tell the truth from it. However, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was smiling but not smiling, meaningful.

If it was the Third Prince Zhu or the descendant of Chongzhen, it would be not surprising that he had grudges or even resentment towards the Dashun Army.

After all, Chongzhen was forced to hang himself in the southeast branch by Li Chuang. This hatred of killing his father was irreconcilable.

Therefore, Li Laiheng was mentally prepared for his denial of Huang Li.

Although he was just the adopted son of Li Guo (Li Zicheng's nephew), when the Shun Army occupied the capital, he was still young and was not among them.

But before he could tell, Huang Li denied the three consecutive games, which made him more sure of his judgment. This is not guilty, nor is it that there is no silver here, what else can it be?

He only mentioned the relatives of the royal family, and he denied that he was the third prince. Hehe, he was young and ignorant of the world, and he was exposed as soon as he cheated.

Huang Li was a little uncomfortable being stared at, and he didn't know that his superpowers caused a bigger misunderstanding.

He lowered his eyes, scratched his head, and stuttered: "I am really not a third prince, but if I say that Chongzhen's descendants, the prince will definitely be gone, but King Ding or King Yong should still be there."

"As far as we know, when Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the pass, the Shun army abandoned the city and left. King Yong was first taken to Henan by a general named Mao of Shun Army, and later separated. He went to Fengyang again and met a retired censor..."

According to Huang Li's memory, the only evidence-profound evidence for Prince Zhu should be the son-in-law of Yuyao with the pseudonym Wang Shiyuan.

This guy worked as a monk and a teacher. He finally got married and had children. He hid until the 47th year of Kangxi. He was already in his seventies and was arrested by the Qing court.

Of course, Kang Xiaosan did not let this harmless old man be punished by him, and was sentenced to slander.

According to Kang Xiaosan, "Although Zhu has no rebellion, he has never had the intention to rebel. He should plan to make a big move to rest in chaos."

Li Laiheng looked at Huang Li with his head down and pursed his lips slightly, interrupting him with a smile, "I understand."

Huang Li was a little surprised and looked up at Li Laiheng, thinking: You understand? I haven’t mentioned the pseudonym of Yongwang yet, where is he living, so that you can find him!

Li Laiheng smiled and said, "Since the third prince is still there, he must be waiting for the opportunity. As long as he raises his arms and shouts, countless loyal and righteous people will gather to fight the Tartars to the end."

"Is that right?!" Huang Li grinned and said, "In fact, whether it is King Ding, King Yong, or others, they are just a banner and a name. It doesn't matter who they really are."

Li Laiheng actually agreed and said, "What Mr. Huang said is very much. The third prince, who died in Zhaozong and his whereabouts, should be the most appealing anti-Qing banner. In the future, the third prince will definitely appear, and it will not be once or twice."

When Yongli was still alive, he was regarded as the official of the Qing people, so naturally no one would think of Prince Zhu San. But Yongli was gone, and the legendary Prince Zhu San naturally became the most easily used name for the righteous people of the Qing Dynasty.

Since the first year of Kangxi, the long-planned "Crown Prince Zhu San" appeared everywhere, busy and fell in love with Kangxi for decades.
