Chapter 295: Why bother with the icing on the cake
Others don't know, Wu Sangui knows, there is one reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, died in the Donglin Party, these people call themselves Qingliu, criticize dissidents, one party dominates, if you are obedient can support you to the position of a cabinet scholar, if you are disobedient, don't want to be an official in this life.
Absolute power inversion of absolute**, Donglin Party immediately began to control the government, Emperor Chongzhen begged the minister to donate silver two to raise soldiers, only the national abbot donated 50,000 taels of silver, to Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing, his general Liu Zongmin through torture, got tens of millions of taels of silver, these are the minister's family background, so some people say that the Ming Dynasty died in the Donglin Party is not all unreasonable, these people to Sichuan, if they make trouble, just like the Nanming Hongguang court, they will destroy themselves.
Of course, the most likely thing is that before they had time to arrive in Sichuan, Wang Pingfan killed all those thieves, and it was in vain for them to arrive, maybe they would die to Daming from now on, and maybe they would follow Wu Sangui wholeheartedly. So Wu Sangui didn't stop them.
Chengdu and Hanzhong are separated by three state capitals, namely Long'an, Baoning and Kuizhou. It is also said that if someone wants to go from Hanzhong to Sichuan, he must pass through these three prefectures, Cheng Xiaolian asked Qu Songjin to take people to these three prefectures, and told him to take the elite, only defeat and not victory.
Cheng Xiaolian didn't know how many people Wang Pingfan would bring back, but no matter how many people they were, they wouldn't take them seriously at first, because of their sudden rise in power, everyone understands one thing, there will not be many of them. What Cheng Xiaolian has to do is to strengthen their impression and let them be sure that this group of people is indeed a rabble.
There are two reasons why they don't defend in those three state capitals, the first is that it is too late, and it is not realistic for them to occupy those three state capitals again, and then mobilize the people of the whole city to help defend the city, but it will increase the vigilance of the enemy. The second is to let them relax their vigilance, Cheng Xiaolian doesn't believe that after defeating three state capitals in a row, the generals who lead the army can still maintain a cautious temperament.
A secret stronghold outside Chengdu has begun to be established, which will become the firearms base of the Ming Dynasty.
Cheng Xiaolian has already told some of his advanced ideas to the Jinyi guards of the Nanzhen Prefecture Division, as for how far they can go, it depends on their understanding and skills, and they also issued a decree to recruit craftsmen, especially blacksmiths, who are hired, can receive five taels of silver every month.
After this decree came out, there was no reaction at all, and no one even came for more than ten days, Cheng Xiaolian was very puzzled, so he had to ask Jin Yiwei what the situation was, Jin Yiwei could only make a secret visit, and finally came to a conclusion, people don't believe that there is such a cheap thing in the world, so no one comes.
Cheng Xiaolian had no choice but to learn Mr. Shang Ying's method, when Shang Ying changed the law, in order to make people believe his words, he set up a wood for the letter, and gave fifty taels of gold when he moved a piece of wood, and someone really gave fifty taels when he moved, so the people believed his words.
Cheng Xiaolian deliberately sent Jinyiwei to pretend to be an ordinary blacksmith, and in the middle of the city, after passing the inspection, he directly gave five taels of silver, explaining that he would pay one month's salary first.
So the whole of Sichuan was a sensation, and this matter was discussed everywhere: "Striking iron? What kind of iron do you still make, can you earn five taels of silver a year? ”
"Oh, what other lanterns do you make, people said over there, as long as you know how to do handicrafts, you will be given five taels of silver a month, and you have to sell hundreds of lanterns to earn it back, go and try it."
All of a sudden, craftsmen from Chengdu Prefecture gathered, and even craftsmen from other provinces began to run here, and the craftsmen here ran out, which is a large blank market, and they can make money when they come.
In this way, the Nanzhen Government Division went through layers of selection, and finally made up the candidates for various departments, and then officially got on the right track.
At this time, Wu Zhimao had already entered Sichuan with a large army, and Qu Songtin fought very well, losing Baoning Mansion within three days, Long'an Mansion seven days later, and even Kuizhou Mansion was occupied by people after fifteen days.
Wu Zhimao can be said to be proud of the spring breeze, after these battles, his subordinates lost less than one percent, but they have already killed the enemy to the point that they lost their armor and collapsed into an army, what he wants now is to exterminate these traitors in one fell swoop, and then use speed and results to prove to Wu Sangui that he is not worse than Wang Pingfan.
Although Qu Songtin lost his armor, the real loss was not very much, and Wu Zhimao didn't know how many of them there were, so he plunged into Chengdu City, and in his opinion, he could enter Chengdu City to sleep at night.
Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Qu Songjun, whose face was covered with dust: "General Qu, you've worked hard these days." ”
Qu Songjin smiled bitterly: "It's really hard, and I can't resist with all my strength, and I can't run away when I see someone, next time I will do this kind of thing by another person, I'm not good at this." ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Okay, don't worry, it is estimated that we don't need to disguise after the battle, there should be no such battle in the future, even if there is, I won't let you go." ”
Yang Youcai also laughed on the side: "I said okay, let's hurry up and deal with the battle in front of us, everyone is coming to the city, you still have time to worry about this." This can be regarded as the first battle of our return to Daming, if we don't fight well, we will encounter a crisis when we return to the country. ”
Cheng Xiaolian also straightened his face: "That's right, the first battle must be our majesty." ”
Not to mention that they are preparing for war, Huang Zongxi, who is known as the three great Confucians in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, is walking on the way to Sichuan with a team of people, and suddenly news comes that Wu Sangui's men and horses in Hanzhong have broken through the three cities of Sichuan in a row, and the Ming Dynasty is afraid that it will not be able to support it again.
Hearing the news, the whole team began to talk in a low voice, saying that this time I was afraid that I would give up halfway again, and it was estimated that I would have to go back halfway, but I didn't know if the war in Jiangnan was over.
An old man walked up to Huang Zongxi: "Sir, should we continue to move forward, or should we turn around and withdraw?" ”
Huang Zongxi frowned: "Why do you want to withdraw?" ”
"This, Daming has lost three cities in a row in more than ten days, and it's useless for us to go."
Huang Zongxi laughed: "It is because of this that we are going, if we go because the war is going well, and if the war is not going well, we will retreat, we will not become villains who tend to be inflammatory, Brother Yan, you have to remember that we are here for the Ming Dynasty, not for our own interests." Besides, since ancient times, celebrities have sent charcoal in the snow, why bother icing on the cake? ”
The old man coughed: "I'm afraid that we will go to Daming and it will be gone, and we are not familiar with the place and it will be difficult to make a living." ”
"Brother Yan, don't worry, this time I have a hunch, we won't be disappointed."
