Chapter 712: The General Trend
Shaanxi after nearly a year of rest, has basically resumed normal production, although it has experienced some war, but neither Tuhai nor Daniel Zhang has the idea of recruiting troops in Shaanxi, even if they can pull people up in the short term, those people may turn against the battlefield, so the idea of both of them is to first subdue Wang ~ Fuchen and then slowly try to Shaanxi.
Who knew that Wang Jiyong took the Wang family army to the Ming Dynasty, and the result was that Shaanxi completely fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
Now Yuan Zonghao and Wang Jiyong have passed through Shaanxi together, Shaanxi has recovered to the level before the war of Wang ~ Fuchen, and Gansu has almost returned to its original level, and now Qu Songtin is guarding Tongguan, and Qu Songtin and Wang Jiyong are aiming at Mongolia north of Ningxia.
Three months ago, the Mao family led a large army to Mongolia, and heard that they had laid down 200 miles in the grassland, of course, these territories are very large in the Central Plains, not very big in the grassland, and basically such a large place was conquered in one battle.
Although there is Daniel Zhang behind the support, but the Mao family is still in danger, I heard that the Galdan Khan on the grassland is now about to unify the grassland, and it is normal to not be able to free up to deal with the people of the Mao family, the goal of the Mao family is to build a horse farm for Daming, so they have not continued to attack.
Cheng Xiaolian didn't want to provoke the madman of Galdan at this time, Kangxi raised the power of the north, three expeditions, and it took six years to pacify Galdan, and now although Galdan has not yet developed to its heyday, it is inevitable that it will be a defeat for both sides to provoke him.
When the Mao family set out on the expedition, Cheng Xiaolian had already told them that they must not conflict with Galdan, as long as they did not form a mortal enmity with Galdan, he would definitely not be interested in Ningxia, and the Mongolians knew that there was no oil and water in Ningxia, and the oil and water were in Xuanfu, and if Xuanfu was broken, it was the world of flowers in the Central Plains. If there is a chance to go to Jizhou, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the people are so rich that they will loot for three years.
As for wanting to occupy the Huahua World in the Central Plains, that is the idea of Galdan to return the people around him, and the Mongolian warriors don't think that there is anything good in the Central Plains, and they can't run away.
The Mao family runs Mongolia, which can be regarded as complementing each other, in addition to the first battle of the sword soldiers, the rest is to take out coarse cloth, salt and tea, although the Mongolians feel that these people are a little arrogant and unreasonable, but life really needs these things, so they pinched their noses and admitted, it is okay to do business, of course it is okay to be friends.
The Mao family quickly opened the market with low prices and good service attitudes, just like they were not the ones who used knives and guns to shout and kill, their attitudes are like old friends for many years, and the price of some coarse cloth is three or four times lower than before, in the face of such an intimate attitude, they have no way to put on a cold face anymore, and at the beginning, in order to prevent future troubles, basically no one from the tribe that was attacked by them ran out, and there was no way to continue the hatred.
Although Cheng Xiaolian said that Galdan would definitely not do anything to the Mao family if he was not driven crazy, they still had to be prepared, and if they were not prepared, Daniel Zhang in Ningxia would definitely fall into a bitter battle.
Cheng Xiaolian's eyes are fixed on the land of Henan, he is ready to go to Henan Mansion, Shaanxi and Sichuan are both places to defend the city, only by taking Henan, can he officially have the capital to attack the world.
And the progress of the soldiers and horses of Qin and Yue is not bad, after all, the people who are staying in Henan Mansion are all Manchu reserve soldiers, and there are quite a few of these soldiers, but the combat ability is not too strong, it was originally to put pressure on Wu Sangui, and now it is really fighting with the Shanhe Army, but it is just a fight.
Although the Shanhe Army was killed all the way back from Burma with Cheng Xiaolian, after all, it has not fought with the top army, and now it is not the same level as the sweeping army, and the sweeping army has been completely promoted to a level after the baptism of the blood of the Tuhai army.
The Shanhe Army has been defending Kuimen, although it is also a battle, but there are still fewer opportunities to fight, and besides, in addition to the large number of people in the Geng Shang coalition army, there is nothing else to praise. Water warfare is all practiced by new soldiers, and the old soldiers of the infantry war have died, and the new soldiers have not seen much blood.
Speaking of Geng Jingzhong's monk Zhixin, after these two people surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, they did not eat and drink spicy food as always, and after Cheng Xiaolian reorganized their army, they immediately sent these two people to see Emperor Chongzhen. When they took refuge in Cheng Xiaolian, they bullied Cheng Xiaolian when they were young, and they didn't know them as well as Wu Sangui, but Cheng Xiaolian is not the intelligence of this life, and he had a clear understanding of their temperament in the previous life, these two people are the masters who will make trouble when they have the opportunity, no matter where they are arranged, they can pull up the dead soldiers of their family to serve the family, in their eyes, the Geng family and the monk family are more important than everything in the world.
Cheng Xiaolian didn't give them a chance to defend themselves at all, and wiped out hundreds of their henchmen together, and the rest of the soldiers were all veterans they raised, Cheng Xiaolian didn't plan to pull these people into the army, but got them to the gold mine discovered by Mu Xiaodi, although these people also have thousands of people, all of them are strong laborers, but when it comes to fighting, even the general army is not an opponent, and their will has been exhausted.
In short, mining also needs people, they just have a strength, these people's household registration is registered in the local area, they can't run out if they want to, the gold can't be hidden, even if they have hidden the gold for what use, they can't run out at all, the original landlord's dream is shattered.
Cheng Xiaolian did not pity them, they were destined to pay the price when they killed in Hubei, otherwise the people in Hubei would not have died in vain.
Cheng Xiaolian can be regarded as making a small fortune on these people, the silver on these people was confiscated before they could draw it, and they robbed it in Hubei after all, and it was directly used as the cost of restoring production in Hubei Province.
In this way, Hubei will not become a roadblock for Qin and Yue to attack Henan, but can become their stable rear.
As long as central Hubei and Sichuan and Shu are slowly integrated, it will be able to become the rear of the Ming Dynasty, and the front can provide sufficient grain and grass if it wins, and it will not be defeated if it loses.
In May of the sixteenth year of Kangxi, Cheng Xiaolian set off from Chengdu Mansion and rushed to Henan Mansion, and Shaanxi's eyes were also pulled over.
