"Old lady, my dear, please see the old lady!" "See you, old lady!" Sichuan Chief Envoy of Chongqing Mansion, a man was sitting in the main hall of the government office, and a large number of generals under his command knelt down and clasped their fists together to see the seat.

That person. If you look closely, you will find that the person sitting there is actually a female general.

, but judging from his age, he is already past his sixtieth year. Although he looks a little old, he is sitting upright and still exudes a heroic spirit. Yes, this person is the Shizhu Xuan comfort envoy, the Sichuan chief envoy, the chieftain.

Qin Liangyu. The person I just met is her son Ma Xianglin.

, and everyone kneeling in the hall are all her family members, including nephews Qin Yiming, Qin Gongming, Qin Zuoming, Qin Zuoming, and two young grandsons Ma Wannian and Ma Wanchun. There are even several female generals.

They are their wives, with their son Ma Xianglin’s wife Zhang Fengyi as the

First, more than a dozen generals came to see Qin Liangyu with great gifts. Qin Liangyu looked around at everyone, then nodded and said: "Lin'er, everyone, please get up. I am old and have lived for so many years, so we don't need to stick to these etiquettes.

Ma Xianglin clasped his fists and said, "Yes, mother."

Everyone stood up one after another and lined up on both sides of Qin Liangyu's seat. Qin Liangyu then said: "I came to you today to discuss important matters. Our family has not gathered together like this for a long time. After the military affairs discussion, everyone stayed.

Come down, let's have a meal together.

"Everyone bowed to express their understanding. Qin Liangyu added: "You all know that the world is not peaceful recently. After Emperor Chongzhen came to the throne, there were wars in the northwest, Liaodong, and even the southeast coast. This is called pressing down the gourd to rise.

The imperial court was also in a state of panic.

Tired of running for our lives, we are guarding central Sichuan, but the situation is not optimistic. There is the traitor Zhang Xianzhong in front of us. Fortunately, we have been killed by the new army in South Zhili, but the greater threat is still behind. The last time the Qing army entered the pass.

, although it is raging in places such as Northwest and Huguang, there is no

I have an interest in Sichuan, but I vaguely feel that Sichuan is probably surrounded for no other reason. Although Sichuan is located in the southwest, the barrier is the northwest and Huguang. Once these two places are penetrated, Sichuan will be completely exposed.

The enemy's troops are under attack."

Although Ma Xianglin was already the governor of Bozhou, he was still a son in front of Qin Liangyu. He held up his hands and said: "What does mother mean, is the Qing army still looking for opportunities to enter the pass and threaten Sichuan? But the child heard that the Qing army was defeated by the new army in Liaodong.

Heavy damage, by the way, the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, Dadu

Governor Liu Yi was also conferred the title of Duke of Liao by His Majesty. This is known to the whole world." Qin Liangyu glanced at his son. This son was brave and fearless, with strong martial arts. He was quite as majestic as his father Ma Qiancheng, but his courage

Too much but not enough strategy, he is a general but not a general

Shuai Cai looks at problems in a short-sighted way and does not see the things behind the problems. However, Qin Liangyu does not want to criticize him too much. After all, everyone has their own strengths. On the contrary, his son Ma Wannian is smart and smart in his grandson's generation.

He is the best among them, and he should do it in due course.

He can inherit the family mantle. In addition, Qin Liangyu's own nephew Qin Yiming is also a handsome man, but he is a member of the Qin family after all, so Qin Liangyu has been suppressing him. In the future, Qin Liangyu hopes that Qin Yiming will assist Ma Wannian more and let Ma Wannian become

Head of the house.

Qin Liangyu did not answer Ma Xianglin directly, but turned to Ma Wannian and said: "Wannian, please tell me your opinion." After being named by Qin Liangyu, Ma Wannian stood up and said: "My grandson replied to his grandmother, and he thought that his grandmother's

The meaning should be that the bandits are a great threat to Sichuan, not the Qing soldiers." Qin Liangyu showed a smile on his face, yes, he

The grandson is indeed smart, but Ma Xianglin is a little embarrassed. It turns out that the mother is talking about bandits, but can the bandits pose a big threat to them? Ma Xianglin defended: "Mom, I think that although the bandits are powerful, they can't attack Sichuan."

, I'm afraid Li Zicheng doesn't have the courage, not to mention that after the Qing army failed in Liaodong, the court's attention was already all

Gathered here at Li Zicheng, I heard that Xiong Wencan had been appointed as the northwest governor, and the imperial court specially transferred him from Fujian. It must be that Mr. Xiong Wencan was outstanding. In addition, Li Zicheng also had General You Shiwei and Hou Gongji behind him.

There are two frontier armies in total. If Li Zicheng wants to make a difference, he must first solve these troubles. This is still in the northwest.

Soldiers and horses, our Sichuan Army is not a vegetarian, and we also have our white-armed soldiers. Zhang Xianzhong's hundreds of thousands of troops did not dare to lightly attack their sharp edges. Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses were almost annihilated by Lord Lu's Tianxiong Army. Now

Even if they recover a little, the camp will still be full of new soldiers. How dare such troops dare to attack Sichuan, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack? Is he so brave as to be a leopard with a bear's heart?"

Qin Liangyu looked at Ma Wannian again, and Ma Wannian clasped his fists and said, "Grandma, father, I'm afraid Li Zicheng can't fight this battle without fighting. Although they don't necessarily have to fight Sichuan, it is inevitable to choose a grain-producing area as their target.

Things. Northwest now

It's a white land now. Money, food and materials are no longer enough to support the bandits to maintain such a large scale. There are also epidemics at work. Ten houses and nine empty houses there are miserable. If the bandits want to continue to develop and survive, they must move on a large scale. The surrounding areas are nothing more than

It's Jin

We have to defend Yuhu River." Qin Liangyu said happily: "Wannian's analysis is good. Li Zicheng will definitely launch a large-scale offensive in the next stage. This has become inevitable. Our Sichuan Army has to defend it. I have also sent people to Shaanxi.

did some

According to the collected information, there is a high probability of attacking Sichuan. Recently, I have often put myself in another person's shoes, imagining myself as Li Zicheng, to see where the next attack would be better. Unfortunately, according to my analysis, Sichuan will bear the brunt."

Ma Xianglin was about to ask again, but Qin Liangyu waved his hand and stopped him and said: "I know what you want to ask. There is no other reason. Sichuan is in a corner, and the imperial court is out of reach. If we attack Sichuan, all we need is Li Zicheng to eat our white soldiers."

, Sichuan is like a woman who has stripped off her clothes, with no danger to defend, and is allowed to be ravaged by Li Zicheng." Zhang Fengyi stood up and said

Trail: "Mother, my white-pole soldier is a lion who has fought a hundred battles, and I am on the defensive. How can I be defeated by the thieves?" Qin Liangyu shook his head and said: "This is wrong. I am naturally not worried about a decisive battle with gongs and drums face to face. I am naturally not worried.

What I'm worried about is that they are openly building plank roads and secretly attacking Chencang. The number of white-armed soldiers is limited, and the Sichuan border is vast. The initiative lies with them and not with me."

Everyone fell into silence for a while. Although these were the situations expected by the old lady, they knew what the old lady was capable of. Since the old lady had such worries, they had to guard against it. Indeed, Li Zicheng did not have a better goal.

, Shanxi is not of much value, and Henan is the place where the Central Plains is fought. The possibility of being threatened by all parties when entering the Central Plains is too high. In fact, it is a choice between Huguang and Sichuan.

There is a half chance that they must take action. If the bandits really attack Sichuan, the situation will be really unfavorable for them. As the chief chieftain, Qin Liangyu and others still know the deployment of troops in Sichuan. Originally, their station was

In Bozhou, due to repeated threats from bandits and Qing troops, their headquarters has now been moved to Chongqing Prefecture, and the main force is stationed in Baoning Prefecture and Kuizhou Prefecture.

In Sichuan, the number of available troops must not exceed 100,000, which also includes the soldiers and horses of various chieftains. Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers are said to be 30,000, but they are actually 10,000 white-armed soldiers and 20,000 ordinary soldiers. There is a lack of troops for mountain operations.

cavalry, whole

There are only two thousand cavalry in the whole army of white pole soldiers. In addition, there are about 30,000 local guards in Sichuan. From the map, the Sichuan Chief Envoy's territory is not small, but in fact, the territory that the imperial court can actually control is in the past.

Chengdu Prefecture is in the middle

The surrounding areas around the center and other more remote areas, especially the areas bordering Tibet, are basically under the jurisdiction of the chieftains themselves. Originally, Zhu Di established the Wu Si Zangdu Division, but during the Chongzhen period, it had long existed in name only. Tibet had been in existence for hundreds of years.

It was only nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it still had a high degree of autonomy. These southwestern chieftains had more or less connections with the Tibetan regime. If a war really broke out, it was still a question whether they could obey the imperial court's orders.

Among them, the larger ones are Songpanwei, which borders Duogan Xingdusi and Wusi Zangdusi, Tianquan Sixth Recruitment Division, Sichuan Xingdusi and Lizhou Appeasement Division. Their combined troops exceed 30,000.

, although dispersed in large and small

They are in the hands of each chieftain, but the chieftains of these families are relatively united and can be twisted into a rope in a real fight. As for whether Qin Liangyu can mobilize them, there is a question mark. In this way, the soldiers and horses of all Sichuan will be able to

More than one hundred thousand

Point, according to Qin Liangyu's intelligence, Li Zicheng's troops have exceeded 400,000. If he has his thoughts on Sichuan and removes the troops that need to be stationed in various places in Sichuan, he will only have 50,000 troops capable of mobile warfare. Once the thieves fight,

To attack was to mobilize all the troops. Li Zicheng could at least put more than 300,000 troops into the battle. There was a huge gap in the strength of the two sides. Even if the gap in combat effectiveness was large, Qin Liangyu did not have full confidence in fighting without foreign aid.

The youngest grandson Ma Wanchun stood up and said: "Grandma is worried about the lack of troops in our army? My grandson thinks that we need to ask for foreign aid. The governor of Sichuan, Mr. Chen Shiqi, has always been loyal and upright, and he will definitely support our army's defense. My grandson is willing to go to western Sichuan to win some support."

The chieftain's troops and horses support our army. In this way, we can gather 50,000 troops.

For grandma to dispatch, on the other hand, grandma can write a letter and send someone to Prince Mu's Mansion in Yunnan, asking for help from Prince Mu. Prince Mu is loyal and brave and will not sit idly by. In addition, our army can contact Huguang, and the two places
