After listening to Sun Yuanhua's words, Xia Nan was a little worried, if everyone had this mentality, then it would be a question whether the strategy he had set could be implemented in place. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 He asked Sima De, "What did Mr. Sima say?" ”

Sima De replied without hesitation: "I agree with going north." It's always nested in the south, and it can't be a big thing. If you only plan to be a soil overlord, you don't even need to control Liangguang, it is enough to guard the acre and three points of land in Qiongzhou, with such a powerful sailor, whether it is the imperial court, Xiyi, or even Tartars and Liukou, who can help us? But if you want to compete for the Central Plains and dominate the world, whether it is to directly enter the Forbidden City to replace it, or to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, or to take a step back and assist the court to be a generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, it is the best choice to go north. ”

Xia Nan nodded, it seems that the single-base turtle stream is not completely mainstream, and Sima De's ideas can also represent the mentality of many people. Although Sima De said this, he must also have Conglong's thoughts, hoping to win the splendid future of his wife and son with Xia Nan and Qiongzhou Camp winning the world, but the direction is the same as himself.

He sorted out his thoughts and prepared to debate Lin Weiye's point of view. If we can't unify our thinking, there will be big problems, and if we can't paddle in a different direction, we won't be able to reach the other side.

"Since Lao Lin has expressed his opinion, then let's discuss it well. Let's start with the choice of going north and keeping in the south. Xia Nan looked around at everyone, "I can't deny that with the current strength and financial resources of the Qiongzhou battalion, if we want to stay in Qiongzhou and Liangguang, no one can help us, and it is also a very safe choice." In time, we have infiltrated the officialdom of Liangguang and run it like an iron bucket, and it is not difficult to even turn the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong into our own people. And then what? Wait for the Liukou to sit on the big and attack the city of Beijing, and then the Tartars enter the customs and compete with the Liukou for the world, we will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait until the north is thousands of miles away and starving, and then go down the mountain to pick peaches? ”

Lin Weiye was speechless for a while, these are all inevitable events in history: Li Zicheng entered Beijing, established Dashun, and then Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the pass, a stone battle, the Qing army won a great victory, and finally established the Braided Dynasty that had darkened China for hundreds of years. The rest of the people here didn't know, but as a traverser, he and Xia Nan knew it very well.

Xia Nan said to Sun Yuanhua: "Mr. Sun, the Tatars have not yet broken through the Shanhai Pass, and the North Zhili has not yet fallen, so you plan to hold the south with peace of mind, and wait until the day when the Liukou are raging, the capital is falling, and the Tatars are entering the customs in a big way?" Have you ever thought that the people of Beizhili would be brutally abused under the iron hooves of the Tartars, and the lives north of the Yangtze River would be miserable and the people would be miserable? ”

Sun Yuanhua was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand again and again: "I have never thought about it like this, how can the old man bear to let the people suffer." It's just that at present, the Shanhaiguan is solid, the Guanning Iron Riding Tiger is still there, and the Tartars in the second year of Chongzhen can only make a detour to Xifengkou, and they dare not stay for a long time. Besides, the Liukou is already in the waning mountains at the moment, the imperial court appointed Hong Chengchou as the governor of the five provinces, and the army has been defeated in Liukou in Queshan and Zhuxian Town, and Gao Yingxiang and his ilk have been struggling to breathe, and their destruction is only in the blink of an eye. What the general said, I am afraid, is an exaggeration. ”

Xia Nan sighed, if it weren't for knowing the future direction of history, I'm afraid he would have the same idea as Sun Yuanhua. It's just that these are all appearances, not long after, the 72 battalions of the 13 Liukou families held the Xingyang Conference in Xingyang, Henan, united to fight against the imperial court, and then grew all the way, and finally captured Beijing by the strongest Li Zicheng, Chongzhen hanged the coal mountain, and the Ming Dynasty perished. On the Liaodong side, before going all out to the south to enter the customs, Huang Taiji sent troops to enter the customs five times, such as entering a no-man's land, capturing nearly one million people and countless properties before and after, and the so-called Guanning Iron Cavalry is just an ornament. But these uncertain prophetic things can't be told to anyone other than Lin Weiye.

He stood up and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, if I wanted to stay in the south and become a rich man, I would have been able to eat and wear without worrying with the cotton cloth and shochu business, but now with the Japanese trade and the taxes and fees of the two major taxes, the annual income is not a problem of millions of taels, or even tens of millions of taels of silver, and the so-called rich world is nothing more than that." But I don't want to be a rich man in a corner of the country, and I don't want to be here! In the future, no matter who wins the world in the north, whether it is a Tartar or a rogue, even if I can use the territory of the south to fight against them, and even establish myself as the king, but what is the difference between this and the Southern Song Dynasty? Even if I want to be the emperor, I will be Zhao Kuangyin in the yellow robe, not Zhao Gou who bears the shame of Jingkang! ”

Sima De was a little excited, and echoed loudly: "The husband should be like this!" ”

Xia Nan continued: "Build a forward base in the north, whether it is to attack the Liukou in the west or to resist the Tartars in the north, you can take the initiative. If the court doesn't do good things, I can help them do it. If you have the ability to hide in the south and watch the people of the north being trampled and abused by foreign races, you can accept it calmly, but I can't pass my own level. has no responsibility at all, what face do you have to be the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, or even the lord of the world who sits in the north and faces south? ”

These words were righteous and awe-inspiring, leaving Lin Weiye and Sun Yuanhua speechless.

"Having said that, there is no contradiction between building a sub-base in Shandong and consolidating the territory in the south!" Xia Nan looked at Lin Weiye, "Didn't you say that the deep area of Wuzhi Mountain was not controlled?" When I had a large number of immigrants and went to those borderless lands where life and life were infested to open up wasteland and farm, I naturally held these places firmly in my hands. As for the population problem, Guangdong's population is indeed quite large, but there have been no major disasters in the past few years, and how many people are willing to leave their hometowns? Not to mention that they will go north to fight Tartars in the future, even if they move to Qiongzhou, they may not be willing. And the Guangxi wolf soldiers you keep saying are good at crossing mountains and mountains, and the local soldiers under Huang Mengjia have the same effect, and there have been glorious achievements in history, but our main battlefield in the future is in the icy northern plain, and the biggest enemy is the Tartars, what do I want so many mountain infantry to do? ”

Lin Weiye scratched his head: "What you said is very reasonable, I can't seem to find a reason to object." ”

Sun Yuanhua sighed: "The old man is short-sighted, please forgive the general." ”

Xia Nan waved his hand: "Those who speak are not guilty, and those who hear are full of caution." At least for now, the Tartars are still north of Shanhaiguan, and the Liukou has become a lost dog, and Mr. Sun is right, it seems that I am a little worried. However, I conclude that as long as the root cause of the outcasts is not resolved, there will be a day when the outcasts will resurge; Huang Taiji is ambitious, and it is only a matter of time before the Tartars enter the customs again, burning, killing and looting, and they can't stop them with a few sections of the city wall. ”
