Jia Shennian, first heard that King Chuang was going to enter Beijing, although Zhang Xianzhong also felt that Li Zicheng was too eager, but he could only envy it, as the basic plate is the head of the army of northern Shaanxi, Zhang Xianzhong knew that his strength and prestige were insufficient, and there was almost no one in the north, he could only stay in Sichuan to have fun, but he had to consider survival.

After receiving the invitation, he could only send one godson to the imperial capital, which would be a few months, and he could not imagine that he would come back so soon.

The son he personally brought up will naturally not be greeted in the simple and luxurious Jinluan Hall in Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong is still a simple man, but in the small hall, surrounded by old brothers from Shaanxi.

"Second brother, I'm back so soon, get up, do you have anything to say over there."

Li Dingguo naturally wants to salute, he has a relationship between a courtier and a son to Zhang Xianzhong, especially Zhang Xianzhong himself already has a son, this relationship is even more important.

Li Dingguo didn't say much, and said: "Some gifts are for your father." ”

As a figure who needs to be appeased, the elders don't have many gifts for Zhang Xianzhong, so this kind of person doesn't have to want to use any tablets or pleasure things to corrode.

In the international exchanges of later generations, there is often a team that collects the life history of the leader of the target country, collects the method of his birth, and then calculates his personality model based on this, and even what can he give in under what pressure, and under what kind of pressure will he turn his back and surrender?

Just as an unreliable negotiator is likely to lose huge national interests with a single expression at the negotiation table, if the character of the king of a country is grasped and the bottom line is seen clearly, it can be said that a country will suffer huge losses.

This is why these powerful figures pay attention to the relationship between a city and a government.

It has always been very difficult to judge Zhang Xianzhong's character, the reason is that unlike the situation when later generations defined Zhang Xianzhong as a murderer, the scholars of this era evaluated Zhang Xianzhong as nothing more than a thug who dared to burn the imperial tomb, a mob who dared to put a butcher knife on the landlord and the scholar, but the act of liking to kill was really not on him.

The reason is simple.

Historical records record Zhang Xianzhong's Tu Chuan, but they also left such records.

In 1647, Zhang Xianzhong died in Phoenix Mountain, and it stands to reason that the massacre was over, and it was impossible for his subordinates to still carry out the massacre under his orders, or to fight with the Eight Banners on the one hand.

But how many years did the Sichuan people resist the war?

It was not until 1664, the Battle of Kuidong, the final decisive battle in Chongqing, that the Qing army declared the defeat of the Sichuan Campaign.

If in history, as some scholars wrote, Zhang Xianzhong killed Sichuan to only a few tens of thousands, then how could Sichuan still hold out until 1664 after his death?

This is a very simple, but blind reasoning.

Zhang Xianzhong really did not disappoint the elders, and he didn't care about all kinds of things to enjoy, but looked at a piece of clothing.

"What is this?"

Zhang Xianzhong was wearing a gorgeous Shu embroidered dragon robe, with flowers and a long beard, showing a fierce temperament, and the clothes he saw looked yellow and not loess or earth, but it was not a solid color, but a variety of colors were intertwined.

"Dad, this is the training uniform worn by the soldiers over there in the imperial capital, at least that's their name."

"What does this look like?"

Unlike the eye-catching red jacket in this era for the convenience of command, even the "lightning rod" on the head of the general is also to let the soldiers see clearly who the boss is and facilitate the command of the attack.

Li Dingguo said: "According to what those people said, this thing is called digital camouflage, which is used for concealment on the battlefield...... Erchen tested it when he was in the north, and it was really difficult to find. ”

Zhang Xianzhong held this set of digital camouflage uniforms in his hand, but he was silent, this thing looks simple, but it is unusual, "You mean, this thing is a piece of each person?" ”

"Yes, Dad."

Zhang Xianzhong looked at another small box, and when it was opened, it was a large round ball held on the shelf, and it would rotate, Zhang Xianzhong said slowly: "What is this?" ”

This thing is not small, Li Dingguo put it on his hands and said: "They say that this is the whole picture of the world." ”

Zhang Xianzhong is naturally literate, he took these things in his hands, and studied them slowly, but saw that the place where the words of the Celestial Empire were written, but it was different from other yellow, yellow, green and green, Zhang Xianzhong naturally had a lot of maps in his hands, although the surveying and mapping was poor, in fact, during this period, China's main map knowledge was still eating the old book of Shen Kuo in the Song Dynasty, but he knew the general location in his heart.

In the area under the control of the Presbyterian Church, the Northeast, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Mongolia, these Presbyterian Churches believe that they have directly mastered or slowly adopted the strategy of the Sun Arch, and the territories that can be slowly annexed in the near future are all decorated with gold, which looks eye-catching and clear.

And the Sichuan under the control of Zhang Xianzhong is not the whole territory of Sichuan, at least Hanzhong is in the hands of the Shun army, and it is inlaid with silver.

This contrast is very strong, Zhang Xianzhong seemed to see a pouting man and said: "See, this is the master's ability, we have money!" If you have a turf, don't you kneel and lick it? ”

Of course, what made Zhang Xianzhong hesitate the most was the appearance of this globe, on this, the Celestial Empire is just a small continent, although anyone who knows can understand that this is almost the most suitable land for human habitation in the entire old continent, but if you only look at the area, there are countless pieces of land that are much larger than China.

Of course, why this globe is round naturally also causes thought.

"Second brother, you said, whether those people in the imperial capital are gods or ghosts, anyway, they say different things every day, looking at it from a distance, just like Zhang Jiao Fangla, is it also a god stick who pretends to be a god and a ghost."

Li Dingguo didn't say anything, closed his eyes, he didn't want to portray the imperial capital as too strong, causing everyone's military confusion, but if he said it too weakly, didn't he deceive his godfather and mislead everyone.

"Godfather, where did they come from, no one knows, there are different statements, but these people have real skills, but no one doubts it, at least for the Northland, they are basically convinced, and they follow with one mind, and now at least King Chuang's subordinates, the most loyal ones, are also a follower, although King Chuang does not speak, but he is also at ease to live in the imperial capital."

Because of the competitive relationship with each other, as the two families who were both born in the Northwest Righteous Army and originally fought side by side, although Zhang Xianzhong's strength is not as good as Li Zicheng, but the victory is more united internally, at least a few righteous sons did not fall apart under him, and the other righteous army leaders were either destroyed by the Ming army, or finished in the case of internal fire, Zhang Xianzhong is unique and called himself the emperor, although it is polite to call Li Zicheng at ordinary times, but he cannot be called the emperor.

Zhang Xianzhong is interesting, the Daxi regime he established is called Dashun, and as we all know, Li Zicheng's dynasty is called Dashun regime......

Of course, in the history of the original time and space, they were killed on the battlefield against foreign races, and then slandered, but at this time, Zhang Xianzhong also knew that what this godson said was true, at least after Li Zicheng was captured in the imperial capital, he was very happy to send someone to Shaanxi to contact, which means that you children will do it with me in the future.

At first, the communication was good, but later, Li Zicheng's side seemed to quickly change his mind, and now we know that under various soft and hard strategies, they basically began to move closer to the Council of Elders, at least they refused to take refuge in him.

The biggest role played in this is naturally omnipotent and omnipotent money, which can make generals lose their integrity, martyrs lose their virginity, loyal ministers become rebels, and literati directly rebel and become traitors.

"Where you can send gold bars, don't send people."

Back then, Xiaoshu fought Iraq from his comrades, although he had thousands of warships and 100,000 soldiers, and his vast absolute strength killed the poor stupid big wood in seconds, but under the evil money offensive, how many generals ordered not to resist, and Baghdad didn't even fire a shot, which was naturally a lot of boundless power of green tickets, compared to a few boxes of green tickets made by the mint, the cost of fighting the war was really insignificant.

Of course, blindly giving money is not very useful, in addition to raising people's appetites, there are also other side effects, but the elders still have some soft and hard strategies.

The situation in the north is like this, in addition to Shanxi, the northern provinces rely on the protection of Taihang Mountain, evaded the Eight Banners to enter the customs, and the development of the righteous army in Shanxi is not very smooth, whether it is Hebei, Shandong, or Henan and Shaanxi, they are already population withering, it can be said that it is difficult to feed the army, naturally it is a model of lack of money and food, it can be said that they are all in urgent need of going south to Jiangnan, in this case, after a few strategies of both soft and hard, at least there are very few forces that can confront the elders, in the final analysis, strength is everything.

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Xianzhong himself knows that now is no better than when he was directly beaten out of Sichuan by Qin Liangyu, a woman, when he was defeated at that time, although his troops were defeated and retreated slowly, he actually ran into Hunan, slipped to Fengyang, and made a big fuss directly.

Now that I have entered the city, I have been called the emperor, and I have even opened a imperial examination, which can be said to have everything, and at this time, I ask everyone to live a hard life, and the people's hearts must be scattered, and the option of going north to occupy the territory is naturally not in everyone's choice.

At least Zhang Xianzhong knows that it is difficult to fight to the north again, and someone will go to great lengths to rob people who are poorer than themselves, but their strength is not smaller than themselves, and if they want to maintain a front outside the country of abundance, they will look through the Qinling Mountains, and it will be difficult to go to the roads of Shu and the sky, transport food and materials, and walk the army to fight in the past, which is extremely difficult.

However, Zhang Xianzhong has always felt that after the lord was captured, the army of Shaanxi, whether it was Li Laiheng or Gao Yigong, had no intention of confronting the imperial capital, but instead made various targeted actions to enter Sichuan, and this signal was not good.

Moreover, the news of the imperial capital that keeps coming is the same.

Li Dingguo said: "I don't know what their true intentions are, but there is one thing, I think it needs to be handled, and Chongqing should also make arrangements." ”

"Well, this is natural, I've thought about it for a long time, since the people in the north are not things, then let's go south, whether it's to build some boats and fight back to Hunan, or Yunnan, we can't just stay in Sichuan, otherwise, sooner or later, someone will be beaten down."

The terrain of Sichuan is too unsuitable for secession, and in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Marquis of Shu continued to go on a northern expedition, that is because if this place is left behind, it is not the opponent of the strong soldiers from the outside world at all.

"No, what I'm saying is that Chongqing is a passage to the south, and if it is taken by them by a sneak attack, it will be blocked alive in Sichuan and will not be able to walk."

"How can it be so easy, but I sent your eldest brother to fight out, ready to see the opportunity to fight out, who will sneak attack? Take what to sneak attack. ”

"I came back by their boat, the boat came out of this place, along the Yangtze River, all the way against the current, and there is no need to use a slender man, it is fast and convenient, you can reach Chongqing, it only took ten days before and after, which can also transport a large amount of baggage, if they directly get off the boat in Chongqing and sneak attack, our army is caught off guard, then it will be a loss."

He didn't want to tell in front of so many people about the weapons produced under the arms race in the imperial capital, which was almost impossible to catch up, so as not to affect morale, so he put all the responsibility for losing territory on the defeat if he was unprepared.

Zhang Xianzhong said: "What did you say? Just lost it? Could it be that the people on the other side of the Jiangnan are allowed to come and go? ”

Although he has read the book, but Zhang Xianzhong's understanding of water transportation and Jiangnan is basically from the Three Kingdoms, in his opinion, in today's new Three Kingdoms, he also happened to play the role of Uncle Liu Huang, just left and right, there is a fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River not to fight, over those best places, to Sichuan to fight him, it is a bit excessive.

"What I saw in the imperial capital, Jiangnan, don't count on it, at least there is a governor who sent his own daughter, how many others are really different, I'm just afraid, once they are ready to do it, the boat will come from the Yangtze River, and the people in Jiangnan may not be able to stop it."

Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Those soft eggs, I said that the messenger sent has never heard back, fortunately, after the autumn harvest, I see that the food is sufficient, so let your eldest brother take the brigade to Chongqing, and we will also fight out." ”

"The question now is, what do the people in the imperial capital think about us."

Li Dingguo was silent for a while and said, "Here, it's called Vietnam. ”
