Chapter 121: The Anti-Qing Dynasty in the North**

"What's going on?" All the generals were surprised. National affairs are never about doing what you want to do, and of course it is not about not doing what you want to do.

Just like now, a large number of military supplies are piled up on the front line, and Zhang Xuan's headquarters is already in place. Just wait for an order, all the way out of Chongqing to attack Chengdu, all the way out of Guiyang to attack Xuzhou, and finally meet in the Chengdu Plain. Such a big plan has been prepared for many months. How could there be such a temporary order to cancel?

The first thing that comes to everyone's mind is that there is something wrong with Nanjing?

"It's the North that's changed." Zhang Xuan said: "Jiang Xiang rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, and troops rose up in various parts of Shanxi, and even Shandong had a revolt. Only one place in Shaanxi, which has just passed the army, and there is no major movement, the north is almost in chaos. ”

Zhang Xuan was also full of emotion for a while.

He didn't know if there was such a thing in history, but he did know about the anti-Qing wave that spread throughout almost the entire north. But it is freezing three feet, not a day's cold. The Qing court's shaving order, enclosing land, escaping under the law and other evil policies, if no one resists, it is a strange thing.

It's just that he didn't expect that there would be such a big movement.

"General, the great turmoil in the north is exactly when the Qing court is unable to maintain Sichuan. It's time to forge ahead. Ma Shisheng said: "Why did Nanjing stop? ”

Gao Yigong's heart moved, and he said: "But Your Majesty moved the mind of the Northern Expedition?" ”

Zhang Xuan stood with his hands in his hands, but did not speak.

Not speaking, in itself, is a tacit acquiescence.

For a while, Zhang Xuan speculated in his heart whether the Northern Expedition at this time was a good opportunity.

Zhang Xuan thought about it, and finally came to a conclusion, that is, the Qing cannot be destroyed suddenly.

Since crossing over, Zhang Xuan has regarded the Qing court as his biggest opponent, although under Zhang Xuan's efforts, the momentum of the Qing court is not as prosperous as in history, but the Qing court is enough to be called a great power.

As mentioned before.

Almost every great power is destroyed because of a strategic failure. If you want to destroy a big country, you must have several or more big victories before it is enough to destroy the country.

This was the case with the Qing court.

The children of the Eight Banners have not yet degenerated, and the Liaodong Han Army, which is attached to the Eight Banners, has not yet been centrifuged. The Qing army had more than 100,000 elites, about 200,000 auxiliary troops, and more than 10 generals who could stand alone against a single side, willing to fight with the rushing formation, and fought desperately.

If these people are not defeated, the Manchu Qing will not die.

On top of tactics, it may be possible to be aggressive and adventurous. But on top of strategy, it's better to be conservative.

In Zhang Xuan's view, when the Qing court had no time to take care of Sichuan, he first captured Sichuan and completed the strategic general defense line of Shutou, Chu waist and Wuwei. Then after being invincible, it is not too late to go on a northern expedition.

And at this moment, the Northern Expedition, even if it is victorious, I am afraid that it will not be able to drive the Qing court out of Beijing, and the possibility of a big defeat is never less.

Zhang Xuan thought about it and decided to write a book to advise. I was afraid that I couldn't say it clearly, so I also invited myself back to Beijing in the midst of the recital.

A letter was sent to Nanjing quickly, and Zhang Xuan also handed over the matter of the Guizhou front line to Gao Yigong for temporary agency. Preparing to leave for Hunan to find a way to learn more about Nanjing, he even had the idea of going back to Nanjing.

Just returned to Changsha, he saw a person, none other than Wang Jincai.

Zhang Xuan was also quite surprised and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Wang Jincai said: "It was the eldest princess who left the relationship and asked her subordinates to go out of Beijing in the name of inspecting the military affairs of the southwest, just to let her subordinates meet the general." ”

Zhang Xuan's heart tightened, knowing that it must be an important thing for Luo Yujiao to spend his time sending Wang Jincai to meet him.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"The eldest princess asked her subordinates to tell the general that they must not return to Beijing." Wang Jincai said: "The eldest princess said that Your Majesty's mind has been decided. ”

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment and said, "What does this mean by the princess?" Or did Your Majesty mean it? ”

Wang Jincai said: "My subordinates don't know, but before the eldest princess sent the message, His Majesty had come to the general's mansion. ”

"That's right." Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "This is not Yujiao's original intention, but the meaning of the one in the palace?" Zhang Xuan immediately tasted a warning from it.

The reason why he guessed this thing was because in his impression, Luo Yujiao was actually a traditional woman in her bones, and what she was thinking about was the life of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, who seemed to be in a hot mood and had a strong wrist, but she was a little woman in her heart.

Therefore, she may have conflicts with Zhang Xuan at home, but above the government, she will never cross Zhang Xuan's dispersion to make claims.

Under normal circumstances, what came from Nanjing was only a summary of the news from the government and politics, or some insider information that she could find, and there was always an objection to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment in his heart, and finally dispelled the idea of entering Beijing, and asked Wang Jincai: "How is the situation in Beijing?" ”

Wang Jincai said: "The political scene in Beijing has changed a lot, and Ruan Dacheng has resigned. In place of Ruan Dacheng is Luo Dain. Gao Jie also replaced Yang Chengzu. ”

Zhang Xuan frowned suddenly, the first thing he felt was wrong was that Luo Dain replaced Ruan Dacheng. Ruan Dacheng may be wrong in this way, but compared with Luo Dain, he is nothing, it's not that Zhang Xuan can't look down on Luo Dain, it's really that Luo Dain is not older, and he is from the clan. He is simply not enough to be among the important ministers of Great Xia.

In the era of the rebel army, let Luo Dain manage the old camp, which was quite competent, but now he has fully demonstrated his ability to rubber stamps in the position of the secretary of the ministry, so that he can replace Ruan Dacheng in the household department, what kind of achievements can he make?

Zhang Xuan expressed skepticism.

As for Gao Jie's replacement of Yang Chengzu, Zhang Xuan was even more dissatisfied.

This dissatisfaction is because Luo Yulong replaced the generals of the Cao Ying system with generals who were not from the Cao Ying line.

Everyone has their own position, fundamentally. Zhang Xuan also understands that the so-called butt determines the head, Zhang Xuan's thinking may not be completely determined by the butt, but at least it must be affected by the butt.

Zhang Xuan himself is the boss of Cao Ying's family.

Although the bigwigs of Cao Ying's family may not be without contradictions, they unanimously decided that the position made by the Privy Council must be Cao Ying's generals. Even Zheng Zhilong has a prince, but he is only a deputy to the Privy Council. However, Gao Jie became the envoy of the Privy Council, and the first military general of Great Xia.

This incident made Zhang Xuan feel uncomfortable for the first time.

He calmed down and deliberated carefully, and said, "Is Yang Shumi against the Northern Expedition?" ”

Wang Jincai said: "The general is wise? ”

Zhang Xuan asked again: "What about Ruan Dacheng?" ”

What kind of person Ruan Dacheng is, Zhang Xuan still knows, if Ruan Dacheng opposes one or two sentences in front of Luo Yulong, it is possible. But under Luo Yulong's insistence, he will never be stubborn. If Ruan Dacheng has this kind of ethics. will not be beaten into the ranks of the eunuchs.

Wang Jincai said: "Your Majesty thought that Ruan Dacheng could not supply grain and grass for the Northern Expedition, so Ruan Dacheng was imprisoned and dragged dozens of families in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "This is very Cao Ying. ”

Don't think that Luo Yulong has always relied on Wenchen and respects Qian Qianyi and others, just think that Luo Yulong is a Confucian believer, after all, he is the son of Luo Rucai and the son of bandits. If the need arises, he will not hesitate to kill.

After Zhang Xuan understood all this, his heart fell into deep thought.

What is he going to do?

For a long time, Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "I am not a person of this era after all. ”

Knowing that he can't do it, this kind of noble sentiment is not owned by Zhang Xuan. Since Zhang Xuan knew Luo Yulong's attitude, he naturally retreated in his heart, and said secretly: "Now the Northern Expedition may not be suitable, as long as you are cautious, there should be no big problem, but if I evil Your Majesty, don't do it." ”

"The founding heroes are like tigers. Don't think about yourself, think about your children. ”

"Brother and sister love, can it really be relied on? Not to mention a brother-in-law. ”

Zhang Xuan asked Wang Jincai to go down to rest, and since then he has rested on going north. It's just that he is also concerned about the situation in the north, and he doesn't know what the north is like.
