Chapter 756 Entering Sichuan, North and South, Women's Marquis
Shunning Town, Baoan County, Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi Province, the temporary garrison of Dashun Jianguoxing.
After seeing the movements of several major forces in the Ming Dynasty coming from Jiangbei and the latest situation of the Jiangnan slave transformation, Lu Si casually threw these secret files into the case.
Because, except for the differences in details, the overall development of the situation in the Nanming side is no different from Lu Si's judgment, and some even directly follow the "development template" given by Lu Si.
"Now it seems that I was planning to fight the river and sweep the remains of Zhu Ming in three years and unify the entire universe. Now it seems that it will be enough for one year at most."
Lu Si was in a good mood because he just met Wang Fuchen, who captured Gao Wengui, a powerful general in the Western Army alive.
This "Ma Yaozi" is indeed well-known. She looks like Lu Bu in the painting and has great martial arts. If the general Dashun has the ranking of military power, this Ma Yaozi will rank second, and I am afraid no one dares to be the first. Even Gao Jie, Li Chengdong, Xin Sizhong, Xia Dajun and others are not as good as Gao Jie, Li Chengdong, Xin Sizhong, Xia Dajun.
Out of his love for Wang Fuchen, Lu Si directly dug Jiang Xiang's corner and ordered Wang Fuchen to obey the orders in the camp. Gao Wengui, who had forced the Fourth Army Admiral Zuo Pan An, to put on his shoulders and let him do nothing, did not kill him, but instead ordered people to send him along with the captured thousands of Western Camp soldiers to Liaodong to serve Gao Jie, the Admiral of the Seventh Army.
"One mountain-crossing kite, the other horse-crossing kite, okay, okay, both kites are used by me, so why worry about the injustice in the world?"
Lu Si laughed heartily.
Seeing that the country was in a good mood, Jia Hanfu, the military government minister, joined the army and laughed and said, "The country is busy pacifying the rebellion in Jiangnan. As long as the chaos lasts for a day, the country will not dare to attack the north. Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo is now fleeing to Huamachi. As long as the two of them fleeing to the Three Guards of Ningxia, I think the war in the northwest can be quickly decided, and then I can lead the army to the southern expedition, first destroy Ajige, then destroy Wu Sangui, and take Huaixi and Jingxiang. The army marched at the same time. The southern capital can only surrender with a letter."
"Um."
Lu Si nodded. In addition to being restrained and attracted by the Jiangnan slaves, the other officials in the border areas were mostly incompetent people.
Like Shi Kefa, how to fly the dragon, like Zhang Kuang, Fu Shangyuan, etc., although they surrendered a large number of Qing troops through the so-called "parallel and horizontal" method of calming their hearts, they were unable to work together to form a powerful military group, and even secretly destroyed each other to fight for power and profit. In the court, there were even ministers and minors attacking each other. In this way, the 100,000 True Manchus under Ajige were used by the Ming Dynasty, and the defeat of the Southern Ming Dynasty was even unsuccessful even when the Emperor came.
All of this was the result of his strategy of the country's strategy thousands of miles away. Now it seems that he deserves to be the first person in the 17th century.
However, Lu Si obviously had other ideas about the Nan's enlistment. He said: "Before conquering Jingxiang and Huaixi, you must take Sichuan first."
"Sichuan?"
Jia Han was stunned.
"Yes, this country of Heavenly Mansion is very interesting now."
Lu Si smiled softly and showed Jia Hanfu the "Chuan Case" sent back by Gao Jinsai in Sichuan.
After the main force of the Great Western Army left Sichuan, the Ming Dynasty's army in Sichuan quickly defeated the remaining troops of the Western Army, captured the entire territory of Sichuan, and continued to send people to Nanjing to report victory.
Although Hongguang was secretly restrained by Dashun, he heard that the entire Sichuan area was restored, and as a descendant of Zhu Ming, he was also happy. Therefore, he rewarded those who had made contributions in Sichuan. He appointed Wang Yingxiong, a Grand Secretary of the Dongge during the Chongzhen period, as the Minister of War and the Grand Secretary of Wenyuange, as the governor of Chu, Hu, Yun, Gui, and Guangxiong, and gave Yingxiong the control of him, and gave him 30,000 taels of silver and the sword of Shangfang. He also ordered the deputy chief censor Ma Qian to replace Long Wenguang who died in battle as the governor of Sichuan.
In this way, there is a governor and a governor, and the entire province of Sichuan is restored, so there is no possibility of chaos again.
However, the military affairs of Wang Yingxiong, Chuan, Hu, Yun and Guizhou made Huguang Governor He Tengjiao very annoyed, because if the military affairs of Hubei were controlled by Wang Yingxiong, wouldn’t his power, as the governor of Huguang, be half of it?
He Tengjiao, who was dissatisfied with the random appointment of the court, instructed the Ming army in Hubei to not obey Wang Yingxiong's orders. Hubei appeased Zhang Kuang because he won over Wang Deren, and the two generals in Wang's body increased their strength greatly. He Tengjiao, who originally promoted him, dared to "be on an equal footing" to He Tengjiao, who originally promoted him, let alone Wang Yingxiong.
The result was that Wang Yingxiong, a senior governor of military affairs in the four provinces, was still halfway through, and was unanimously treated by the Hubei officialdom.
I thought it would be fine if Hubei was not dispatched. After all, there were Sichuan and Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. However, when I arrived in Chengdu, I found that he, the governor, could not move any of them.
Because the army leaders of all sizes rely on their contributions to "Pingxi", they are all arrogant and do not take the governor sent by the court seriously.
According to the law, the Governor Wang should find a way to unite the Sichuan Governor Ma Gan and jointly suppress the Sichuan generals. The Governor Wang didn't know which string he had lost. The first letter to take office was to impeach Ma Gan and plunder illegally.
Ma Gan was born in the sixth year of Chongzhen. He was once the governor of Guang'an. Later, Sichuan Governor Shao Jiechun ordered Ma Gan to manage the affairs of Kuizhou Prefecture. Zhang Xianzhong entered Shu and attacked Kuizhou for more than 30 days, but he did not capture it under Ma Gan's defense. After the fall of Chengdu, Ma Gan and Zeng Ying and others led their troops to recapture Chongqing and defeated the western general Liu Tingju. Nandu ordered Ma Gan to take over as Sichuan Governor, and he led his men to station in Chongqing, while Zeng Ying was stationed in Fotu Pass.
Zeng Ying was the strongest and most elite group of the Ming army in Sichuan, and he dared to fight. Because he jointly recovered Chongqing with Ma Gan, he also had close ties with Ma Governor Ma.
Governor Wang’s impeachment of Governor Ma must have made Zeng Ying very dissatisfied. Zeng Yingyi was dissatisfied. His generals Yu Dahai, Yang Zhanchun and others would definitely not be even more despised as Governor Wang Yingxiong.
Before Wang Yingxiong took office, the military leaders of Sichuan who had made contributions to "Fudi" were hostile to each other. You don't agree with me, I don't agree with you. They are called officials and soldiers of the court, but they are actually similar to bandits.
The most powerful one was Yang Zhan, who was a martial arts Jinshi in the 12th year of Chongzhen. This man was captured after the Western Army attacked Sichuan. Later, he fled and pieced together an army in Xuzhou and had been moving in Jiading and Emei.
Compared with other Ming troops who mainly looted, Yang Zhan could focus on restoring production, give farmers cattle breeds, and make them choose land and farm, which was not strong enough to strengthen the children, and he also treated the students very favorably, so he had to support the people under his rule, and he could also have enough money and grain to support himself in the territory.
There is also Wang Xiang. After the Western Army entered Sichuan, this man gathered some of the remaining troops in Zunyi area, and immediately captured Shunqing Prefecture while the main force of the Western Army left Sichuan.
Unlike Yang Zhan who focused on production and restored order, Wang Xiang was exhausted and fishing to extract the place. In Shunqing Prefecture, he asked every family to spend money to buy a death-free card he issued. People who had cows should buy cow tickets, but the people bought cow tickets and Wang Xiang's soldiers still took the cow away. "Purgate the people, dig the grain, and burn the house", which was extremely cruel and the people hated them deeply. What was even more shocking was that in order to expand their strength, Wang Xiang wanted to make money, and received all the taxes for the 20th year of Hongguang.
In addition, Hou Yongxi, who was in charge of Yongning, Ma Ying, who was in charge of Luzhou, and "Three Tan" in Zhongzhou, Wanxian and Kuizhou.
In addition to these large and small forces of the Ming army, there are also various bandits in the junction of the two Ming and Huguang areas in Sichuan. Because they do not belong to each other, they are called "Yaohuang Thirteen Families". The leaders compete for the king Yuan Tao, forced the rebellion of king Liu Weiming, shook the king Bai Jiaolong, and went to the 100,000 to the nine-sense, two whistle Yang Bingyin, Huang Yaozi Jingkeqin, neat king Zhang Xian and others.
It can be said that after the Daxi Army left Sichuan, it can be said that the demons were dancing, and the people suffered far more than the Western Army. Therefore, when there were rumors that the Daxi Army was about to fight back to Sichuan, peasant uprising broke out in many places, and most of the uprising farmers were proclaiming officials from Daxi, and some landlords and gentry who originally hated the Daxi regime also gathered to respond.
According to statistics from Dashun spies who were active in Sichuan, there are now 17 teams that can be called officers and soldiers in Sichuan, with a total of more than 80,000 Ming troops. The bandits such as Yaohuang also have tens of thousands of people, and the rest of the chieftain armed forces are different from each other.
In short, the total number of armed forces with swords in Sichuan now is afraid of being 300,000.
This data may be a little exaggerated by the spies' inability to understand the real situation. Lu Si thought it over and believed it. In his eyes, there is a fundamental difference between an army with armor and weapons and an armed armed force without armor and only a knife and hoe. Therefore, he judged that Sichuan may have 300,000 soldiers, but those who can be called military forces are probably 600,000 to 70,000, and half of them can fight within the country.
"The world has not been chaotic, and the world has been governed by Shu, and the world has not been governed by Shu. Let's break this at the same time and pacify Sichuan first."
The former Duke of Xingguo Li Guo, Governor of Gansu and Shaanxi Meng Qiaofang, Governor of Shaanxi Zhang Guozhu and others wrote to the camp, and decided that Ainengqi's troops were the newly formed 11th Army of Dashun, and Liu Wenxiu's troops were the newly formed 12th Army of Dashun, and Lu Si was allowed. Zhang Guozhu suggested that the 11th Army be transferred to Henan to join the Central Plains battlefield, and the 12th Army be moved to Hanzhong to prepare to enter Sichuan.
Lu Si did not agree to transfer Ai Nengqi's 11th Army to Henan, but asked Ai Nengqi to join Wang Zhaoling, Xin Sizhong, Zhao Zhongyi and others to manage Gansu and Ningxia, and complete the blockade of Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo Group.
However, he agreed to transfer Liu Wenxiu's 12th Army to Hanzhong to reorganize because Liu Wenxiu's surrender was slightly unwilling to let his troops participate in the siege of his brother Sun Kewang. Li Dingguo's attack might be complicated, so it is a safe plan to transfer to Hanzhong not to participate in the next battle against the West.
Hanzhong is the gateway to Sichuan, and it is very appropriate for Liu Wenxiu's 12th Army to enter Sichuan to fight against the Ming army in Sichuan in advance.
After all, the Western Army had experience in fighting in Sichuan, and it also had a certain shock to the military leaders of all sizes in Sichuan.
Strategically, Lu Si also wanted to use Sichuan as a springboard to capture the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, and then lead the troops to Guangdong and Guangxi, forming a force of attack from the north and south, and encircle Zhu Ming's remaining forces, thereby completely solving the Zhu Ming problem.
Otherwise, even if Hongguang in the southern capital surrendered, the remnants of the Ming army in the southern provinces would definitely regard other Zhuming royal families as emperors and continue to be enemies with Dashun.
For example, the one in Guilin, Guangxi.
After twenty years of civil strife and foreign invasion, the country has been extremely destructive. Today, the population of northern China is not one in ten, and the south is only preserved. Therefore, Lu Sishi is unwilling to destroy the southern provinces due to the ongoing war.
When Manchuria is resolved, it is Lu Si’s unshirkable mission to retain more vitality for China.
Starting from Sichuan to use troops is a bit like the Mongol Yuan invasion of Song Dynasty.
Jia Hanfu first praised the country's wise decision-making, and then reminded that it might be inappropriate for Liu Wenxiu's troops to enter Sichuan.
It is recommended that Li Laiheng, Helan, Wu Dading and other troops enter Sichuan with Liu Wenxiu. In addition to Liu Wenxiu's 12th Army, more than 30,000 troops, he would be supplemented with about 20,000 "Zhenshun Army".
"You should start to formulate specific plans, and treat the Ming army in Sichuan differently. Those who are cruel and unkind should be eliminated resolutely. Those who are good to the people should strive for it first, and those who cannot fight for it will be attacked. As for bandits such as Yaohuang, you can buy a lot of money to make the bandits attack the bandits and then sue me for my soldiers. Anyone who is Dashun's army will be under the land for my Dashun rule, and the people will also be for my Dashun people and will never kill anyone."
In fact, Lu Si wanted Li Guo to command the army to enter Sichuan because his brother-in-law Xingguo Duke was kind and Yu Shunxi's army was very prestigious. He led the army to enter Sichuan with great benefits for gathering the newly surrendered Western army and appeaseing the Sichuan military and civilians.
Unfortunately, Li Guo was defeated in Fengxiang in the previous period, which showed that his military talent was poor. He was now in Guyuan and could not be withdrawn, so he could only let Li Laiheng enter Sichuan with Liu Wenxiu, which was also a chance to make meritorious contributions, and at the same time he could train this little tiger. After all, Li Guo's title of prince will be inherited by Li Laiheng in the future, and he must not be without military qualifications.
Jia Han took notes one by one.
Lu Si said again: "The quota for military use and the allocation of money and grain in Sichuan can be discussed with Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Gansu and Shaanxi. If Meng Qiaofang cannot solve it, I will report it to me. I will order Beijing to allocate it."
Speaking of this, he remembered something and said hurriedly: "In addition, someone has to send someone to do it."
Jia Hanfu hurriedly asked: "What is the regent?"
Lu Si glanced at Jia Han again and asked, "Do you know Qin Liangyu?"
"That stone is Qin Liangyu?" Jia Han was puzzled.
“That’s right.”
Lu Si thought for a moment and came to the desk to write a letter, but it was a letter that persuaded Qin Liangyu to surrender. After writing it, he blew the ink dry, handed it to Jia Hanfu, and ordered: "You choose two smart people to carry my letter to Shihuo, and give Qin Liangyu a great righteousness. She clearly said that if the wife wants to surrender to me, she can be named the Marquis of Zhongzhen and hereditary."
"Classified Marquis?"
Jia Han was shocked and said in a lost voice: "The country is supervising, Qin Liangyu is a woman. How can he be granted the title of Marquis!"
"Why can't women be granted the title of marquis?"
Lu Sida waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "Although Qin Liangyu has left a woman in the country, she has brought troops and grain, and has been rugged and fought, and has rushed to the public to go to justice. There are few heroes in the world. Moreover, women serve the battlefield, which is unprecedented. His loyalty and martial arts are worthy of shame. It is really difficult for people like good jade in the world. I respect her integrity, admire her heroes, and do not hesitate to worship the marquis!"
Jia Hanfu was the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty. He knew that Qin Liangyu was in service to the country, but men were ashamed of being ashamed of men. However, since ancient times, no woman was granted a marquis. It is understandable that the country was sincerely persuaded to surrender Qin Liangyu, but it is a bit too much to pay for the marquis, or a big deal.
"Jiaohou doesn't need to say much."
