Wei Lian shook his head: "Defending the village and fighting in the wilderness are two different things, after all, we have too few people, and the officials and soldiers can afford to lose it, but we can't afford it." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This is all our family background, in case of a mistake, it is a catastrophe that will never be recovered. ”

Lin Weiye lamented: "We have no other way? ”

"However, it is not without a solution." Wei Lianheng added.

Xia Nan perked up when he heard this: "Oh? Let's talk about what to do. ”

Although the official army claims to have the support of the whole province, whether it is from Qiongshan to send grain and grass, or from Guangzhou, it must be transported from Qiongshan all the way to Lingao. The post roads in Qiongzhou Mansion are dilapidated, and how much can they transport every day by shouldering their hands? It is necessary to set up a grain station and the like on the way to transport grain and grass, which can not only save the journey from Qiongshan, but also ensure the timely supply of the army. ”

Everyone's interest was raised. Xia Nan's eyes lit up and stared at Wei Lianheng.

Wei Lianheng continued: "Therefore, as long as we find the grain platform, repel the defenders, and burn the grain and grass, the officers and troops will inevitably be in turmoil, and then we will take the opportunity to attack, and the officers and troops will inevitably collapse, and we will break their siege plan." ”

"Where is the grain station located?"

"According to the distance, it should be between Qiongshan and Chengmai, slightly close to Chengmai, the terrain should be high, and it should be close to the post road. There are not many places that meet these conditions, and if you send a group of men and horses to look around the official and military camps along the way, you will definitely be able to find them. ”

Xia Nan Zhengse asked: "The task of finding the grain platform belongs to you, are you willing to take on this important task?" ”

Wei Lianheng knew that the opportunity to make meritorious service had come, and arched his hand and said: "Dare not obey your fate." ”

"Very good, find the other party's grain platform and burn their grain, and you can lift the siege of the official army. Whether you can repel the encirclement and suppression of the official army this time is all up to you. ”

That night, Wei Lianheng led 200 guards to quietly leave the earthen fort in the night, bypassed the official camp, and went all the way to Qiongshan along the post road.

On the earthen fort, Xia Nan and Lin Weiye stood behind the breastwork, watching Wei Lianheng and the others disappear into the night. Xia Nan said self-deprecatingly: "It's good now, singing the empty city plan." If Wei Lianheng doesn't succeed, the official army will attack like this during the day again tomorrow, and you and I are afraid that we will have to cross again. ”

The convoy relied on 300 horses and villagers to start with, and absorbed 300 local soldiers, 200 tenants, and 300 guards, but only more than 1,000 people, more than 100 people were killed and more than 200 wounded during the day, and only about 700 people were able to continue to fight. Wei Lianheng took away 200 people, and there were 500 people left in the earthen fort, dealing with the remnants of the seven or eight thousand Ming troops.

Lin Weiye sighed: "I thought that after the crossing, the tiger's body was shocked, and I could dominate the eight wildernesses by relying on the spirit of Wang Ba**, but I am the only one, who knew that it would be so difficult - it turns out that the crossing novels are all lies." ”

Xia Nan laughed and said: "Lao Lin, I can't see that you are still a joker!" ”

He turned his head to look at the brightly lit Ming army camp opposite, and said: "After the success of this anti-encirclement and suppression, we must find a way to wash our hands and go ashore, blend into the system of the Ming court, and get an official and a half-job." Otherwise, if you come to fight once today and fight again tomorrow, you will be tired and tired, and you will talk about development. From this point of view, Li Zicheng is really a character, his conditions are not as good as ours, he was chased behind the butt of the official army, and he made a living by wandering and looting, he was not killed for so many years of encirclement and suppression, and he was beaten several times to the point that he was able to make a comeback, and finally entered the city of Beijing, and almost changed the dynasty and became the emperor. ”

Lin Weiye nodded: "Li Zicheng's character must be very tenacious, he is a small and strong, and we would have picked on it in an environment like his." However," he hesitated and continued, "...... What are your goals for the future? Do you want to be an emperor too? ”

Xia Nan smiled: "What, do you want me to be or not?" Or do you want to be the emperor and you're afraid that I won't let me? Why don't I knock down the country and let you sit on the dragon chair, and I'll be a free prince? ”

Lin Weiye waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, I don't want to be the emperor, it's not that piece of material, it's too hard to be an emperor, you look at Chongzhen, tired and half dead and lost the country, what's the meaning of being such an emperor!" ”

"Being an emperor doesn't have to be hard! You can concentrate on doing what you like like like the Apocalypse, put on the dragon robe and be the emperor, and take off the dragon robe and be a technician, haha. ”

"You can also say that, you can study Wanli for more than ten years and not go to court, just stay in the harem all day long." Lin Weiye, who was ridiculed, fought back.

"Jokes are jokes, seriously, Lao Lin, the primary goal now is to survive, and then slowly farm the fields and climb the science and technology tyrants, I haven't thought about being an emperor for such a long time, or being an emperor under this feudal system."

Xia Nan Zhengse said: "The emperor of the feudal dynasty has to manage everything, but he can't manage anything well, and the limitations of the system are there-there are many objective reasons for the death of the Ming Dynasty, such as the Xiaoice River, the drought, the peasant uprising, and the entry of the Houjin into the customs, but I think the most fundamental reason is that the land annexation is serious, the taxes of the entire empire are spread on the peasants who have no land, and they dare not collect commercial taxes. However, the emperor, as the supreme leader of the landlord class, could not change his own life, and if the fundamental problems were not solved, the tinkering would not last long. ”

Lin Weiye nodded: "If you don't care, you will be a faint monarch in the eyes of everyone, and Wanli's reputation is known to the world; Too much management, thankless, Chongzhen is a ready-made example; If it comes by temperament, it is a tyrant, just like Yang Guang - he is not a human being inside and outside anyway. ”

Xia Nan patted Lin Weiye on the shoulder: "Lao Lin, we originally did not belong to this era, we are traversers, from the relatively democratic 21st century. There is already an advanced political system to learn from in our original time and space, so why should we be the thankless emperor? ”

Lin Weiye thought thoughtfully: "Do you want to establish a democratic system?" ”

"You are stupid, the Celestial Empire will not be fully democratized until the 21st century, let alone the 17th century, when the people were ignorant. The Western system is not suitable for the Celestial Empire, and it cannot be rigidly copied. ”

Xia Nan looked up at the starry sky: "In fact, compared to other countries in this era, the political system of the Ming Dynasty has been very perfect, Wanli has not been in the dynasty for so many years, and the country is operating normally: the center of political decision-making is in the cabinet, the operation of power depends on the six ministries, and the government decrees are implemented layer by layer to the state and county. In Jiangnan, where the economy is booming, the germ of capitalism has already appeared. If it had not been for the Houjin regime, the Ming Dynasty might have been able to survive this difficult time. At the level of China's productive forces at this time, the industrial revolution may not start in Europe, and China may be the center of the world from now to ......."
