After everyone dispersed, Li Dingguo returned to the camp and talked to Wenxuan, Ma Bao and others about the details of the meeting. Li Dingguo sighed: "His Royal Highness is smart and polite, and has extraordinary knowledge. It is rare for him to have a lot of insights into the general trend of the world at a young age. Today there is a rumor that someone knows
It’s not false.”
Bai Wenxuan also nodded and said: "Although His Highness must be called Your Majesty, in my opinion, Your Majesty may not have such a big heart and be able to confide in our Xiying. Your Majesty, your fake yellow ax and the Imperial Guards of the Crown Prince of Shu are all commanding
Yes, maybe it’s just His Highness’s intention.”
Li Dingguo was surprised and said: "How dare Your Highness make an empty promise for such a big thing?" He thought for a moment and suddenly sighed: "Yes, His Highness must have known my concerns when he saw that I opposed the Holy Emperor's move, so he gave me a fake yellow axe.
My name allows me to control Brother Liu. Your Highness is afraid that Brother Liu and I will have another battle between Jin and Shu. Unexpectedly, I, Li Dingguo, who claims to be a hero, was underestimated by a child today. It is true that a hero comes from a young age and should not be underestimated.
Don’t underestimate it, don’t underestimate it.”
Ma Bao was listening on the sidelines and suddenly interrupted: "Your Majesty, since His Highness promised you a fake yellow yue, but also gave the royal guard to Prince Liu, you should still be on guard against us."
Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "The fake Huang Yue's prince does have too much power. It is the right way to have checks and balances. But in this way, it is not easy to oppose the move of the emperor."
Bai Wenxuan said: "We might as well wait until His Majesty actually bestows the fake yellow ax on the king, and then the king will ask the saint to move it. Since the king holds the fake yellow axe, he can transfer the king of Shu to Yunnan or Sichuan. King
Sit in Guiyang to protect the Holy Majesty, guard against the Tartars externally, and frighten the subjects internally, so that there will be no danger."
Li Sixing also said: "My father is Mingjian, and uncle Liu is also a loyal and patriotic person. I think your majesty decreed that my father is the king, and uncle Liu will not fight anymore." Although Li Sixing grew up in the military, he did not seem to be his father.
He is so aggressive and tends to avoid all possible bloodshed.
Bai Wenxuan also nodded and said: "Your Majesty has been on good terms with the King of Shu for many years. Since the imperial court intends to make the King the leader of the Western Camp, the King might as well be frank with the King of Shu. It would be best to avoid conflicts."
Li Dingguo pondered: "If we can unify Xiying in this way, how can I be aggressive? Well, I will discuss this matter with Brother Liu tomorrow."
At this time, Zhu Cixuan returned to Liu Wenxiu's residence in the former Qin Prince's Palace. Liu Wenxiu seemed to have guessed it and was not surprised that Zhu Cixuan left and returned.
"Your Highness works hard day and night and works tirelessly for the country. It is truly a great blessing for the imperial court." Liu Wenxiu said with a smile. Compared with Li Dingguo's domineering attitude, Liu Wenxiu is more like a Confucian general. Every move he makes is full of the demeanor of a gentleman, which makes him
People feel good feelings without realizing it.
Zhu Cixuan bowed and said: "I came here to apologize to the King of Shu. The King of Shu gave up his small self for the greater self. He understands the righteousness deeply and will never forget it." Regardless of whether Liu Wenxiu had any intention of being the leader of Xiying before.
, he just acquiesced to Zhu Cixuan's arrangement and was willing to live under Li Dingguo, which was a great favor. Zhu Cixuan knew this very well and was very grateful to Liu Wenxiu for his concession.
"Your Highness is serious. When it comes to fighting for supremacy on the battlefield, the King of Jin is far stronger than me. In this time of national crisis, he is indeed more suitable to be the leader of the Western Camp than me." Liu Wenxiu also stood up and said seriously, "Brother Wang and I have differences in Da Da.
, but he has no selfish grudges. However, at this critical moment, it is also a blessing for Xiying to have His Highness make peace with Brother Wang and me. As long as there is no more civil strife in Xiying, there is nothing wrong with me giving in."
Zhu Cixuan sighed with emotion: "Xiying has made great contributions to the imperial court, and I will always remember it in my heart." How could he not know that everyone in Xiying had always had doubts about Nanming, and was worried that when the Ming Dynasty was revived, Xiying would be overthrown and liquidated.
This is also one of the reasons why Nanming has been experiencing constant internal disputes and has never been able to fight against the Qing Dynasty with all its strength. He is not the real Prince Yongli and has no prejudice against Xiying. This sentence really comes from the heart.
Liu Wenxiu seemed to sense his sincerity and said with relief: "Your Highness said this, and I feel relieved. Isn't it just for this reason that Your Highness is leaving and coming back tonight?"
Zhu Cixuan nodded: "I do still have some ideas that I would like to ask the King of Shu for advice." He came here to apologize, but more importantly, he wanted to talk to Liu Wenxiu about the military camp.
"The military garrison is of no use to the country, and it is even more harsh on the people. During the reign of Sun Kewang, in order to squeeze out military supplies, the entire Guizhou Province was turned into a military garrison. Although he did not hesitate to raise a large sum of money for food, he ultimately depleted the lake and the people were miserable. Those who fled
"Japanese people." Zhu Cixuan said slowly, "I would like to suggest to my father that we gradually cancel the military camps and recuperate the people's livelihood. I wonder what the King of Shu thinks of this?"
Liu Wenxiu's face was calm, but her heart was full of turmoil. Since today, he has refreshed his understanding of Zhu Cixuan several times, but at this moment he feels that he still underestimated him. A ten-year-old child can get the title of Imperial Camp Senior General
He was respected by Li Dingguo and was named "Zhibing", perhaps because he was the prince; he could keenly sense the contradiction between Li Dingguo and himself, and then find ways to resolve it. It could also be explained by his talent, but now he has to talk to himself.
What? Reforming military settlements and recuperating people's livelihood, is this really something a child can see?
"I wonder what your Highness plans to do?" Liu Wenxiu said solemnly. He wanted to hear first whether what Zhu Cixuan said was feasible. There are many civil servants in Kunming who speak eloquently. Who knows that Zhu Cixuan didn't just have a whim after reading their memorials?
Zhu Cixuan ignored Liu Wenxiu's little thoughts and said to himself: "Now that the war is going on, ensuring the army's money and food is the top priority. Although the efficiency of the army is low, it can ensure that the army gets the required output without having to go through layers of officials.
Dealing with deductions. Before repelling the Tatar attack next year, I do not intend to invade the military camp." He calmed down his thoughts and continued: "At present, it seems that our army is temporarily unable to attack Huguang and Guangxi, even if we are repelled next year.
Tatars, we have to maintain a defensive posture for a long time. During this period, I plan to gradually clear out the military camps in Guizhou, retain only the fertile farmland, abandon the mountain fields and terraces with low productivity, and move the camps to Chengdu. Chengdu
The surrounding area is thousands of miles away, but it suffers from a lack of civilian power. If it can be managed well for two or three years, it will be able to make some savings. During this period, Guizhou will still maintain military garrison to buy time for the development of Chengdu."
Seeing that Liu Wenxiu did not object, Zhu Cixuan continued: "Of course, the population of Guizhou alone is not enough to develop Chengdu. King of Shu, you have left tens of thousands of people in Jianchang before. Please ask the King of Shu to allow them to convert to civilian status."
, they also went to Chengdu to open up wasteland, and they also needed to send troops to Huguang and Guangxi to move the population."
Liu Wenxiu thought for a while and said: "There are two difficulties at the moment. First, Sichuan is sparsely populated, so moving people will be slow and expensive, and secondly, Sichuan is shared between us and the enemy and is easily plundered by the Tatars."
Zhu Cixuan smiled and said: "Let's not mention the first point. Many mountain people in Sichuan have fled to western Sichuan. Once we have settled down, they will naturally come back. The second point is the reason why I went back tonight. Tan Wen reported
, it is said that Wu Sangui may invade Chongqing, I wonder if the King of Shu is willing to go to Chongqing? With the King of Shu guarding Chongqing, and the Zhongzhen camp tightly controlling the Three Gorges, I will send Wang Qilong's troops to garrison Jiange, and Chengdu will be as safe as Mount Tai."
Liu Wenxiu's eyes flashed and she said: "Your Highness really has a plan, Guiyang must be guarded by the King of Jin?"
Zhu Cixuan nodded without blushing: "I do plan to do so. My father will move to Guiyang, and King Jin will protect him. I think King Jin will no longer have any doubts. Then I will ask my father to guard Chengdu and become the king of Shu.
Build the foundation for the counterattack against Shaanxi."
Liu Wenxiu laughed and said: "Your Highness is so courageous. With this arrangement, I think Brother Jin Wang will not object. So I agreed. When Brother Wang seeks peace in Yongchang and the Emperor moves to Guiyang, I will take his subordinates to Chongqing."
Returning to his residence, Zhu Cixuan asked Yang Zai to write a memorial to Yongli, sharing his thoughts. When Yang Zai heard that Zhu Cixuan had privately awarded the fake Huang Yue and Jin Yiwei commanders, his face turned pale with shock, and he only said: "Mrs. Zhu Cixuan."
Too reckless. But Zhu Cixuan knew that Yongli would probably not object, so he felt very calm. This chapter has been completed!
