Chapter Ninety-Five: Return to the East

The wind blows the attic, and countless wind chimes hanging under the eaves jingle and jingle, which is extremely pleasant. However, Zhang Xuan didn't have the heart to listen.

He grinded carefully, writing on rice paper little by little, and all he wrote was: "Yang Zhan, Yang Zhan, Yang Zhan-----"

I don't know how many I wrote for a while.

When the wrist that only wrote was a little sore, I put down the pen. secretly said in his heart: "I can't imagine that there are such heroes in Shu, why don't I know?" ”

Yes, Zhang Xuan searched carefully for his impressions, and he had never heard of Yang Zhan.

It is precisely because of the fight with the Qing army that I know how difficult the Qing army, especially the Eight Banners Army, is to deal with, and perhaps the disciples of the Eight Banners after it are synonymous with incompetence, but this era is the official peak of the Eight Banners. It's a little too hard to beat them.

Yang Zhan relied on several counties to fight with Haoge, and he couldn't hold each other.

Such a talent, how could Zhang Xuan not want to receive his own bag.

"Why is there no trace of such a talent in history? Is it the butterfly effect that I brought about, or is it the way history is the case? Zhang Xuan said secretly in his heart.

It seems that the longer this era is, the more ambiguous Zhang Xuan's sense of history becomes, and he can't conclude on this point for a long time. But he put it aside immediately, if he can't figure out these things, he doesn't need to think about them, it's not a big deal anyway.

For the history between the Ming and Qing dynasties, Zhang Xuan has only heard of the famous Zhang Xianzhong Tuchuan.

This statement seems to have had a lot of controversy in later generations, but Zhang Xuan already knew that this decision was nonsense. Because of today's Sichuan War, the two sides moved more than 100,000 people, just because these people did not eat or drink, the grain and grass used were naturally taken from Sichuan.

If Sichuan had been slaughtered, such a war would not have been organized at all.

It's just that Zhang Xuan didn't know that Sichuan was not slaughtered by Zhang Xianzhong. But the Sichuan people were indeed slaughtered, so who did it?

The Qing army seemed to be deliberately covering up, but the resistance of the Sichuan people was always the fiercest, such as Yang Zhan. At least when the Haoge class returned to the dynasty, Yang Zhan was still alive, as for the legend that Prince Su killed Xichuan with one arrow, whether it is true or not, but it is another matter.

It's just that when Yang Zhan won the victory, there were millions of people under his command.

Even when the Qing army attacked Yunnan on a large scale, the Ming army in Sichuan counterattacked Chongqing, trying to contain the Qing army. It is not known whether there is a relationship between this persistent resistance that lasted for more than ten years and Sichuan's eventual transformation into a no-man's land.

The news of Jingshi also reached here, and Zhang Xuan was also in favor of the decision not to attack Sichuan for the time being. The reason is very simple, continuous warfare not only consumes materials, but also consumes morale, and people are always not machines, marching from the south

Since then, Zhang Xuan has felt that the southern expedition has been fought too frequently. The demoralization is very depleting, not only the people need to recuperate, but even the army needs to recuperate.

Of course, recuperation does not mean that the army does not train, these are two different things.

Yang Zhan and Haoge made a big move again, and when the victory was inseparable, Zhang Xuan was useless in Guiyang.

Under Zhang Xuan's co-optation, Guizhou Tusi is dominated by An's, Guizhou Shilin has taken Ma's as the capital, and he has thrown himself into Daxia, and Gao Yigong has also taken over Guizhou's general affairs and Daxing Tuntian. Want to be self-sufficient and reduce the hassle of transporting food from the rear.

After all, the roads in Guizhou are difficult. Food consumption is huge.

Tuntian may not be able to guarantee Guizhou's self-sufficiency in grain, but it can greatly reduce the consumption in the rear.

"General, General Gao is here." Zheng Lian said.

Zhang Xuan said, "Let him come over." ”

"Yes." Zheng Lian said.

After a while, Gao Yigong walked over, saluted and said, "Meet the general." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Senior brother, please get up." ”

When Gao Yigong first saw Zhang Xuan, he was still a little embarrassed in his heart, feeling that he was not looking at the young general at the beginning, but now he has jumped on his head, and his heart is not very comfortable, but now he is slowly getting used to it.

Zhang Xuan said: "Hunan, Guangxi and other places, there are many affairs to deal with. I won't be here for long. I'll leave it to you. ”

Gao Yigong said: "General, please rest assured. In the hands of the last general, Guizhou will be as stable as Mount Tai. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "What I want is not as stable as Mount Tai. He paused slightly and said: "There are three things you have to do in Guizhou, the first thing is the most important thing, which is to accumulate valleys in Tuntian." The roads in Guizhou are difficult to navigate, but they are also where they need to be rushed. Regardless of whether the division will attack Sichuan in the future or the army will enter Yunnan, Guizhou must be used as a base. Therefore, if Guizhou has more grain, it will consume less grain from Hunan and Hubei. A few less people were levied. So this is one thing that you have to grasp as a top priority. ”

Food has always been a big problem, and from the perspective of Great Xia as a whole, there may not be a shortage of food, but it is difficult to say when it comes to a specific place. Therefore, if the high school is self-sufficient, it is difficult for the imperial court to control him, but compared to the food consumed on the road, Zhang Xuan can only choose the lesser of two evils.

And Zhang Xuan believes that as long as Daxia remains strong, Gao Yigong will not have other thoughts.

"Yes." Gao Yigong said.

Zhang Xuan said: "The second thing is to appease the hearts of the people in Guizhou. Governor Ma will assist you in this matter, but whether the hearts of the people in Guizhou are still related to whether we can gain a firm foothold in Guizhou. "

"The general can rest assured, the last general will definitely appease the hearts of the people of Guizhou."

Zhang Xuan nodded

said: "The third thing is that Guizhou is connected to Sichuan and Yunnan. You also know what happened in Yunnan, but it was my mistake. ”

"Why did the general say that?" Gao Yigong seemed to distinguish Zhang Xuan again, or pat Zhang Xuan again, and said: "Sun Kewang is a jackal, Yunnan is not in the hands of the imperial court, how can such a thing be said to be the general's fault?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said, "It's okay." That's fine, it's just that the imperial court has undoubtedly used troops in the West recently, and even if it wants to use troops, it will be in Sichuan first and then in Yunnan. So, that's wronging you. ”

Gao Yigong immediately said: "The general can rest assured, the last general will definitely not stick to Guizhou and will not fight the enemy without authorization." ”

"Wrong." Zhang Xuan said: "Why do I want to open a town in Guizhou, is to give you the right to act cheaply." General Gao is a talented general who followed King Chuang to fight in the south and the north, and how can he not know the priorities, of course, he needs to be with Yunnan now. But how can the senior brother not control it. ”

"Once the Ming army or Sun Ke is expected to make a provocative move. You just hit it back, just pay attention to the proportions. Just don't trap yourself in. ”

"Even if something happens, I'll take it."

Gao Yigong heard this, and immediately said: "Thank you for the kindness of the general." The last general will live up to expectations, if the Ming army, and Sun Kewang come from the division, the last general will not alarm the general, beheaded in retaliation, if the whole division of both sides comes, the last general will definitely stick to Guiyang, and wait for the general to break under the city of Guiyang. ”

"Okay." Zhang Xuan said: "With Brother Gao's words, I am relieved. ”

Although Gao Yigong didn't say it, Zhang Xuan could still feel a sense of arrogance in Gao Yigong's heart.

Speaking of which, when Gao Yigong became famous in the world, everyone still didn't know who Zhang Xuan was? Gao Yigong did not have a little grievance in his heart. Moreover, Gao Yigong's subordinates are more demoted, although Zhang Xuan has done a lot of processing, but Gao Yigong's prestige in the army is still better than that of other generals.

Zhang Xuan felt that even if he gave thousands of instructions today, when the war started, it was really hard to say how much he would remember in the first year of high school. But Zhang Xuan's hand could not reach hundreds of miles away.

And Zhang Xuan also trusted Gao Gong, after all, people can travel thousands of miles in the strangulation of the Qing army. It's not that kind of novice, and he also has a sense of proportion in his heart, maybe he can't win big, but he won't lose big.

After Zhang Xuan told Gao Yigong, he left from Guizhou.

All the way from Guizhou to the east, first arrived in Changsha, and talked with Yao Qisheng about a lot of things, nothing else, that is, to ask Yao Qisheng to refresh the rule of officials. Zhang Xuan wanted to make a big move, but he was not the emperor after all, and many policy changes had to start from the central government, and it was not for him, a general, to intervene.

However, since the southern expedition of the army, many times it has been about security. has accepted a lot of demotions, but it can be cleaned up.
