Chapter 5 The Current Situation of Guangdong
"The lower officials and others will meet the general." The group of people stood on the left and right and saluted.
"You don't need to be polite." Zhang Xuan said, "Sit down." ”
The group sat down one after another, and Deng Hexian said: "The general is in good health?" ”
Zhang Xuan said: "It's already fine. ”
Although everyone knows that Zhang Xuan's formal summoning of everyone has already shown that his body is almost good. But if you don't ask, everyone is not very reassured. After hearing Zhang Xuan's words, he was relieved.
Zhang Xuan smiled: "Let's talk about the specific situation in Guangdong." I've been sick in bed for a few days, just listening to everything is fine, I know that Guangdong is new, how can everything be fine? It must have been a relief to me. If you have any questions, let's talk about them now. ”
Xu Du smiled and said: "General, it's a little wrong to say that everything is fine, but it's really nothing serious." General Gao Yigong is in Guizhou, and he has already written to the general, saying that he is enterprising in Guizhou. I don't plan to use force this winter, and I'm going to do it next year. ”
Zhang Xuan said: "I know about this, General Gao said that Guizhou Tusi is all over the place, and there is no harmony between them. Rashly attacking Guizhou will cause the unanimous foreign affairs of the Tusi, so the best strategy is to attack the Tusi with the Tusi. Occupy the main road and control the traffic in Guizhou. Point control surfaces. ”
"That's a good idea. Reported to the Privy Council not. ”
"It's been reported." Xu Du said: "It's just that the Privy Council called back and said that the general should decide." ”
Zhang Xuan said: "Then tell Gao Yigong, I will follow it, but add a tuntian." Guizhou's roads are difficult to travel, and it is difficult to import grain. Try to let him solve part of the food problem on his own. ”
Gao Yigong's idea of attacking toast with toast, Zhang Xuan still agrees. But approval is approval, but the result of Gao Yigong's doing so is the battle of Guizhou, which I am afraid will drag on for a long time. However, fighting a war in this kind of place where Guizhou is not three feet flat cannot be rushed.
Both the Ming and Qing dynasties had precedents for using troops in the southwest for many years, and Zhang Xuan was also prepared. The method of high merit is the words of the old man to seek the country.
The strength of the Ming Dynasty in Guizhou was actually limited, that is, some loyal Ming Tusi.
But he added Tuntian, but he also knew that since Gao Yigong had chosen this method. In the center of Great Xia, the Guizhou battlefield has been reduced to a secondary battlefield. Gao Yigong is not a descendant of Daxia in the first place, and I am afraid that the supply of Gao Yigong will not be much.
Although there are many mountains in Guizhou, it is not that there is no place to tuntian.
Moreover, Tuntian can also prepare for the future invasion of Sichuan by the army from Guizhou, and after the world is peaceful in the future, these Tuntian points can also be changed to county governance. In short, Zhang Xuan was not too satisfied with the current situation that Guizhou Province in the Ming Dynasty had almost no prefectures and counties directly under the central government, and all of them were Tusi.
"Yes." Zheng Lian said immediately. He sat next to Zhang Xuan, with a pen and paper in front of him. has been silently recording the conversation between them.
Zhang Xuan asked again: "How is Guangxi Qu Shiyun doing over there?" ”
Hu Tang said: "The latest news from Guilin, Qu Shiyun has gone out. Although he still has the title of university scholar on his body, he has two Guangxi governors and tens of thousands of governors and horses, and camps in Xi'an, south of Wuzhou, to blockade the Xijiang River. Confront General Zhang Yuanhai. ”
Although he is now the prefect of Guangzhou, the intelligence agency on his body has not yet found a candidate for delivery, and he is still in charge for the time being.
"General Zhang Yuanhai has already written to ask for help."
Zhang Xuan said: "Have the reinforcements from Changsha arrived? ”
Xu Du said: "It's already partial. ”
Zhang Xuan said: "Send two battalions over. Let Zhang Yuanhai stay in Wuzhou, and ignore the rest. ”
"Yes." Zheng Lian agreed, and the pen in his hand kept shaking.
Zhang Xuan said: "Qu Shiyun is out? Who is now in charge of the overall situation of Guilin? ”
"It's Liu Chengyin." Hu Tang said: "It is said that Liu Chengyin is in charge of Guilin alone, and the military aircraft is in great power, and he will never hear of it, and everything is about Bai and Liu Chengyin." Liu Chengyin made his own decision. ”
"Isn't there anyone who objects?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"Naturally." Hu Tang said: "The minister only gave one example, and Yang Qiaoran of the imperial history impeached him in the palace. Liu Chengyin took matters into his own hands and beat Yang Qiaoran to the point where his head broke and the bleeding stopped. ”
Zhang Xuan suddenly laughed, with a hint of sadness in his laughter.
"General, ---- you?" asked Hu Tang.
Zhang Xuan waved his hand and said: "I'm happy, I thought that I would have to go west again to avenge the revenge of the Li River, but looking at this situation, it is already a remote corner to bring about its own destruction, and there are still capable ministers and good generals who cannot be used." Qu Shiyun's talent may not be able to turn the tide. But Liu Chengyin, if he wants to be Cao Cao, I am afraid that he can only be Dong Zhuo, or he can't do Dong Zhuo well. After a few months, the melons are ripe and I don't need to do anything. ”
Everyone said in unison: "The general is wise." ”
Zhang Xuan said: "What is the car like here? ”
Hu Tang said: "General, the appetite for Che Chongshi is too great, and the two sides have not been able to get along. ”
The heavy task of the car is the Chaozhou defender, resisting the attack of the Zheng family. It's also quite powerful. Now Zheng Chenggong has been fighting in the west of Guangzhou, shining brightly, and has proven himself, so he doesn't pay much attention to the Chaozhou war. And Zheng Cai didn't want to gnaw hard bones. Now the Chaozhou side is just a confrontation.
After Zhang Xuan had just entered Guangdong, his troops were insufficient. For a while, I couldn't reach the heavy task of the car, in order to stabilize the East, and also to solve the trouble. Therefore, Zhang Xuan wanted to recruit Anche. Che Chongshi himself is a thief, and he is not a loyal minister.
It's just that I never thought that the surrender had been achieved for so long.
Zhang Xuan said: "What are his conditions? ”
Hu Tang said: "He wants to establish Chaozhou Town, such as the King of Huai'an. ”
Zhang Xuan sneered when he heard this, and said, "Hmph, does he want to be the king of the tide?" ”
Hu Tang smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't say it. ”
The example of Gao Jie and Zheng Zhilong is a special case. Now that Great Xia is in the south, Zheng Zhilong has already handed over Fujian with great discernment. Although the Zheng family still has special interests in Fujian, this special interest will not even be diminished for a while.
But Fujian is no longer a country within a country in Great Xia.
According to Luo Yulong's idea, when there is a chance to Gao Jie's problem in the future, it will be solved, just a car with a heavy responsibility, not to occupy a single prefecture in Chaozhou, at most a few counties in Huizhou Prefecture, he wants to become a prince, Zhang Xuan doesn't know whether to say that what he thinks is too beautiful, or his brain is kicked by a donkey.
Luo Dai snorted coldly and said, "He probably thinks of us as those fish belly soldiers of the Zheng family." ”
Luo Dai's statement is not unreasonable, the Zheng clan is strong on land, but Er'er. It's just that when the Zheng clan attacked Chaozhou, it was the name of the Xia army. It is likely that this situation made Che Zhongren misjudge his strength and think that he was a good general.
However, as soon as Luo Dai said this, there was a person with a bad face.
It's none other than Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong is a good-looking person. If he hadn't seen the strength of Zhang Xuan's department, he would have wanted to argue with Luo Dai now. But he had to face the facts. Compared with Zhang Xuan's department, Zheng's department is indeed a fish belly army. So this breath made Zheng Chenggong hold back.
"Luo Dai, how can you talk like that?" Zhang Xuan frowned and said, "Apologize to General Zheng." ”
Zheng Chenggong said: "The general doesn't have to be like this. I, Zheng's infantry team, really can't do it, and after I go back, I will definitely reprimand him severely. With hard work, there will never be such a thing again. ”
Zhang Xuan said: "Since General Zheng has this intention, I will select a group of veterans from the army to be transferred to Fujian to help General Zheng." ”
"General Xie." Zheng Chenggong said.
This incident seems to be in the past. didn't know that Zheng Chenggong lost face today, so he wanted to get it back. After he returned to Fujian, he took control of the Zheng clan with the aftermath of his great victory. The Zheng department was reformed drastically. The officer who made him lose face today did not fall well.
When Luo Dai heard Zheng Chenggong say this, he naturally didn't mean to apologize, and said: "The general will ask for battle, just dial the last general and five people, and the general will dedicate Chaozhou to the general." ”
Zhang Xuan was in the middle of a deep groan, when he heard Hu Tang say: "General, the lower officials have found an opportunity to take Chaozhou into their hands without spending a single soldier." ”
