Four hundred and seventieth eight chapters Hou Ye Zhenzi
Lu Si did not hide his ambitions for Meng Qiaofang's demotion, because his ambition was also an inspiration for the other party. Moreover, he also needed these demoted officials to be able to correct their identities as soon as possible, clearly know who they are now and who they are doing things for, rather than naively thinking that they are still working for Emperor Yongchang.
It is also a big help to the capable officials and generals who have the ability to expel the Tartars and restore the cause of China.
He has a unique advantage over any party in this era, that is, he, Lu Wenzong, knows who can be used and who cannot be used!
This is the biggest golden finger of the time traveler and the greatest halo.
"What else should I ask about Xinting?"
Speaking of this, Lu Si didn't think Meng Qiaofang had any concerns. As the saying goes, he would just be loyal to the "pirate ship".
It’s like two gamblers on the card table. If you need to turn off the card, you will turn off the card.
In terms of the number of chips, Lu Si's chips are now the biggest winner on China's gambling table. With the restoration of Xi'an, the overall strategic pattern is the most beneficial to Lu Si.
How to amplify this strategic advantage and "monetize" it requires someone to help him complete it.
Meng Qiaofang, a capable minister who had been in charge of the northwest for ten years for the Qing Dynasty, was undoubtedly the best candidate.
Meng Qiaofang was surprised and happy at the ambition of the young marquis in front of him, and immediately felt that it was normal. Since ancient times, those with strong soldiers and strong horses were the emperor, but Li Zicheng was famous as Emperor Dashun, but in fact he was like a dog who lost his family. The Huai marquis was named Dashun minister, but both territory and military troops were much more than Emperor Li Zicheng. In this way, how could he be willing to submit to Li Zicheng and hand over the entire foundation he had made.
If it were him, Meng Qiaofang, he would never know!
If this Huai Hou really wants to say something righteous and righteous, Meng Qiaofang is afraid of being reserved.
Because Li Zicheng is a bandit, has no vision and has made many tricks. Meng Qiaofang really wants to work hard for Li Zicheng, how can he know whether Li Zicheng will be defeated again in the future?
On the other hand, this young Huaihou has a rare understanding of the national conditions of Manchu in China, and his mind and spirit are also superior to the people. What is even more rare is that his ruthless vision has been. Since entering Shandong to use troops, he has been attacking the seven-inch dangerous places of the Qing Dynasty. His sincerity in treating others is even more heroic. If this is not the demeanor of the emperor, what is it?
Thinking of the wonder of the "True Dragon Comes to the World" that just staged in Xi'an City, Meng Qiaofang couldn't help but suspect that destiny was right in front of her.
After thinking about it, Meng Qiaofang had already decided to take the lead and did her best. Then she asked him what he was most concerned about now was what was going on in Henan.
Lu Si did not hide it and said bluntly that Li Zicheng and the remnants of the Imperial Camp were trapped in Xinye by Ajige. He did not know whether Xinye was now destroyed.
"If the new world is not broken, then your Majesty"
Meng Qiaofang gradually entered the state and proposed three possibilities.
The first is that Xinye has not been broken, Li Zicheng is still persevering, and Ajige is also persevering. From a time point of view, it will take at least a few days before Ajige will know that the Shangluo grain road was cut off and Xi'an was occupied.
The second is that Shinye has been broken, Li Zicheng died, and Ajige's troops are resting for several days.
"No matter whether Xinye is broken or not, once the Qing army learns the news of Shangluo, they will definitely be in charge." Meng Qiaofang is very sure of this. The biggest enemy in Manchuria is not the remnant Ming forces, but the Huai Army.
If Ajige knew that Shangluo's grain road was cut off, he would not be worthy of being named Prince Ying and would be led by two-thirds of the main force of the Eight Banners.
The third possibility is that it is as Lu Si thought. Although Xinye was broken, Li Zicheng fled to Jingxiang. Ajige still led his army to Jingxiang without knowing that the retreat was broken.
"If it is the third possibility, the subordinate officials suggested that the Marquis should return to Henan immediately after the second senior high school department to block the main force of the Qing army in Jingxiang and not allow them to return north."
Meng Qiaofang believed that the green camp troops in Shaanxi and Gansu were not worthy of concern and basically could not pose a threat to the Huai Army. Therefore, only the Shun army of Li and Gao were required to block Jingxiang and Xiang, and the other main forces of the Huai Army immediately attacked Beijing, which would surely shake Beijing.
He even proposed two strategies to advance simultaneously, namely, the main force of the Shandong Huai Army attacked from Shandong. If He Zhen and others were willing to surrender, they would drive them to repeat the strategy of Li Zicheng's eastern expedition with the Green Camp soldiers who were willing to surrender, marched from Shanxi, and attacked Beijing at the same time on the east and west lines.
In this way, the two Huai troops from Liaodong and Beizhi echoed, how could the Northern Qing army, which could fight only 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers?
"At that time, the officials believed that Dorgon would definitely give up Beijing. Once Beijing abandoned, the foundation of Manchuria would be destroyed. Even if Dorgon could lead the remaining troops to retreat outside the pass, it would not be a threat to China. Although Ajige's troops were numerous, they would have no roots in Jingxiang and would not be able to do so for a long time. At that time, it would be a good thing for the marquis to fight or reconcile, or even to recruit him."
Meng Qiaofang was actually talking about what Lu Si thought. This time he captured Shangluo in the west and restored Xi'an was two-handed preparations. One was to be able to attract Li, and Gao's troops went to Shangluo to block Ajige.
This is based on the premise that Li Zicheng did not die.
If he dies, he will sweep across Shaanxi and Gansu while Ajige is still in Nanyang, and he will fight in Beijing in the east, and capture the thief first.
Originally, the idea of the Eastern Expedition was just a paper talk, but now that Xi'an has stored grain, it is possible to attract Li, Gao 100,000 Shun Army, and He Zhen and other troops who may be willing to surrender. The Eastern Expedition was not a paper talk, but a practical strategy.
This is also the trend and general trend.
Only by forming a general trend of the Huai Army sweeping over can Lu Si completely lay the northern pattern.
"Everything depends entirely on Xinting! Whether the prefectures and counties outside Xi'an can surrender is more worrying."
Lu Si got up and suddenly bowed to Meng Qiaofang. The latter hurriedly turned to avoid it, and he could not avoid it and quickly returned the gift.
"The Marquis treats Xinting with truth, how dare Xinting treats the Marquis as false? Xinting does everything in Shaanxi to avoid worrying about the Marquis, but" Meng Qiaofang's appearance told Lu Si that he had another very important concern in his heart.
Lu Si hurriedly asked, "It's just what?"
"If Your Majesty dies, even if the Marquis has the idea of long live, please be patient. You must not rush to achieve success before Beijing leaves."
Meng Qiaofang was actually worried that if Li Zicheng and his death, the young marquis in front of him would be impatient to ascend the throne to the emperor. If the remaining troops of the Shun Army were not convinced of the orders and internal strife, the good situation would be overturned again.
"Li, Gao's troops are elite troops of the Shun Army, and they are all confidants of Your Majesty. Although the Marquis is half of Your Majesty, Yu Lun and Yuxu have no qualifications to inherit Your Majesty's career. The Marquis' troops in Shaanxi are not as good as Li, and Gao's two men have the highest prestige. Therefore, since he was appointed as the emperor, the Marquis can order the great righteousness of his Majesty to avenge His Majesty's great righteousness. After the Eastern Expedition is completed, he ascended the throne in Beijing. As for Li, Gao and others."
Meng Qiaofang did not say anything clearly, but Lu Si knew that what the governor of Shaanxi wanted to say was to make him turn against him.
Lu Si did not directly express his advice to Meng Qiaofang, but said lightly: "Expel the Tartars and restore China, and the throne is the most upright."
