Chapter 1037: Wu Sangui is going to be ruthless to the imperial court!

（1038）

[Today's second update is delivered! ] 】

"Where is Yin Fengyi?"

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment.

Wang Shide looked at the map and said quickly: "It is estimated that I have arrived in the area of Sicheng Prefecture and Guangnan Prefecture." The battle report we received a few days ago was that they had touched the imperial defenders in Yunnan near Quang Nam Province. The other party quickly retreated. ”

Zhang Zhun turned his head to look at the corresponding location on the map and nodded thoughtfully. He looked at the map, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Mu Tianbo in Yunnan...... What's going on lately? Did the emissary we sent out have any direct contact with him? ”

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the people who have guarded Yunnan in the past dynasties are the Mu family, that is, the descendants of Mu Ying. This Mu Tianbo inherited the title when Chongzhen was three years old and was appointed as the general of Dingnan. The major military and political affairs in Yunnan were all decided by Mu Tianbo. This point, in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, is very special.

In other provinces and regions, descendants of princes like Mu Tianbo cannot meddle in local government affairs except for leading the army. But in Yunnan, Muwangfu made an exception. It is estimated that the imperial court took into account that there are too many ethnic groups in Yunnan, too many toasts, and the situation is complicated. As a result, the imperial court allowed Mu Wangfu to govern all military and political affairs in Yunnan as a prince.

If the Tiger Ben Army wants to enter Yunnan, it must deal with this Mu Tianbo. According to relevant information, after the imperial court was preparing to move to Shuzhong, Emperor Chongzhen once ordered Mu Tianbo to expand the army and strengthen the garrison in Yunnan to prevent the Tiger Ben army from entering Sichuan from the south. Mu Tianbo listened to the emperor's words the most, and it was estimated that the army had almost expanded.

"It is estimated that Mu Tianbo will not surrender."

Wang Shide said cautiously.

"Maybe."

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

The envoy sent by the Tiger Ben Army has not yet had personal contact with Mu Tianbo himself. However, obviously, neither Zhang Zhun nor Wang Shide had much hope for Mu Tianbo's surrender. Because, Mu Tianbo is another Qin Liangyu-style character. Maybe his own ability is not very good, but their loyalty is still commendable.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many traitors and thieves, but there were also many loyal ministers and direct ministers. It's a pity that the good people have not been reused, and as a result, a group of Xiaoxiao has climbed to a high position. The Ming Dynasty was ruined by such a group of Xiaoxiao. This Mu Tianbo is indeed loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen was only willing to let him guard the remote Yunnan, which was indeed a waste of talent.

However, emotion is emotion, and the battle still has to be waged. Since Mu Tianbo refused to surrender, the Tiger Ben Army had no choice but to take the road of force to solve the problem. Taking Yunnan was not only the need for the Tiger Ben army to march into Sichuan, but also the need for the Tiger Ben army to attack the Mughal Dynasty. The Stilwell Highway in later generations was connected to Yunnan in China and India.

"Send someone to inform Yin Fengyi, don't worry, be completely prepared. On the Yunnan side, the topography and landform are not good for us. We don't know the enemy very well. Before launching an attack, it is important to prepare accordingly. It is necessary to fully grasp the enemy's situation and fully understand the terrain. Otherwise, you will suffer. ”

Zhang Zhun said slowly and cautiously.

Yin Fengyi's marching combat is characterized by speed. Run fast and hit fast. The rest of the Tiger Army, in terms of speed, did not have a single one of his opponents. He served as the commander of the Suzaku Legion, and the characteristic of the Suzaku Legion was naturally that everything was fast. It's not an exaggeration to say it's lightning fast. Starting from Nanjing, the Vermilion Bird Legion swept through the entire South China region in a very short period of time, and pushed all the way to Yunnan, which is not unfast.

However, the weakness of the Suzaku Legion is also relatively obvious. Since its formation, the unit has not experienced any major battles. Dangerous battles and the like have never been experienced. As a result, the troops lack the will to fight and have little experience in fighting tough and vicious battles. Once it falls into a fierce battle, a tug-of-war, and in a harsh mountainous area like the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Zhang Zhun is a little worried about whether the Vermilion Bird Legion will be able to adapt.

Of course, Zhang Zhun didn't think that Mu Tianbo had the ability to block the Tiger Ben Army from entering Yunnan. Mu Tianbo's army, whether in terms of basic training or weapons and equipment, is several grades inferior to the Tiger Army. Even if the combat effectiveness of the Vermilion Bird Legion is not particularly strong, it is enough to deal with Mu Tianbo. Yunnan, not for long.

It's just that, after all, they are all their own people, as long as they can avoid fighting, they still have to avoid it. Tug-of-war with heavy casualties should be avoided as much as possible. It is not worth wasting precious lives in the rugged mountains. Mu Tianbo also has tens of thousands of people under him. If you take refuge here, it will be tens of thousands of laborers. In the era of the Great Colony, population was still very important.

Mu Tianbo's tens of thousands of people, if they are released to Java Island, Java Island will be firmly controlled by the Tiger Army. Later, each man would have a few more indigenous women and have a group of children, and when this group of children grew up, they would marry and have children. This Java Island will always be the territory of the Tiger Ben Army in the future, and no one can take it away.

When it comes to the fertility and reproduction ability of the Han people, Zhang Zhun is not worried at all. In just a hundred years, the population will increase fivefold, and there is no problem. With the gradual improvement of medical and health conditions, the rate of neonatal mortality has dropped significantly, and it is normal for a woman to give birth to four or five children. If you are stronger, you can even give birth to more than seven or eight.

Again, fighting for population and resources, no country is China's opponent. All the Western powers combined, the population is not more than half of that of the Ming Kingdom. With such a rich human base, coupled with his Zhang Zhun's intentional guidance, the difficulty of making the Han people spread all over the world within a century is almost non-existent.

In Zhang Zhun's long-term plan, the Huben Navy still has to adopt the method of long-distance friendship and close attack, first control Southeast Asia in its own hands, and then gradually advance towards Oceania and the Indian Ocean. Everywhere you go, you will become a colony of the Tiger Empire. The most basic colonial policy was to expel foreign colonizers while controlling and reducing the local natives.

In addition to the relatively small number of indigenous people in Oceania, there are many indigenous people in other places. If the number of Han Chinese does not reach a certain level, they will definitely not be able to rule the region for a long time. In addition to the planned mass immigration, it is to encourage the local Han people to actively have children and reproduce.

"My lord, Wu Sangui has a secret letter."

When he was looking forward to the future, Wang Junyu walked in quickly.

"Wu Sangui?"

Zhang Zhun frowned quietly.

For Wu Sangui, Zhang Zhun really didn't feel very cold. He was even a little reluctant to mention the name. I guess it's my own impression that's at fault. In fact, Wu Sangui doesn't seem to have any resistance to the Tiger Ben Army. From the time of high diving, Wu Sangui was the most responsible errand messenger.

Forget it, I'll forgive him. Zhang Zhun shook his head lightly and made a decision. Seriously speaking, Wu Sangui can also be regarded as a talent. He still has a set of ways to lead troops. Later, the Tiger Army marched to the Middle East and Africa, and a large number of talents were needed. This Wu Sangui, no matter what he was thinking about his mentality, let him go abroad, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and he can toss it himself.

Every time he looks at the world map in a daze, Zhang Zhun only has one feeling, that is, there are too few talents around him. If there are many talents, put a little here and a little there, and occupy every corner of the world. At that time, there were the military flags of the Tiger Ben Army everywhere, the figures of the Han people everywhere, and the Chinese-style buildings everywhere. He could have realized his great dream of planting the red flag all over the world hundreds of years in advance.

"What did he say?"

Zhang Zhun calmed down and said in a deep voice.

He said that he was willing to go south to Xi'an Mansion with Wang Dou's army and launch a military admonition to force the imperial court to surrender. He also said that at present, the forces around the imperial court's Xi'an Mansion are very weak, and it is a good opportunity to take the initiative to attack. As long as the battle began, he dared to guarantee that within ten days, the imperial court would be controlled. ”

Wang Junyu said briefly.

Zhang Zhun stretched out his hand.

Wang Junyu hurriedly handed him the secret letter.

Brigadier Zhang took Wu Sangui's secret letter and read it carefully.

That's right, Wu Sangui does have the intention of taking refuge. He also won the opportunity to take refuge. The imperial court didn't know what to think, but it didn't notice Wu Sangui's true intentions at all, and actually agreed to let Wu Sangui deal with Wang Dou. Listening to Wu Sangui's tone, it seems that the imperial court has commended his loyalty for this.

At the beginning, the people on the side of the imperial court took refuge, and basically the Tiger Ben Army took the initiative to dig up. Only this Wu Sangui took the initiative to ask for refuge. Moreover, this Wu Sangui is really desperate at doing things, in order to invite merit and win his trust, he actually wants to do it directly to the court. In other words, Emperor Chongzhen's commendation here has not cooled down.

Well, that's fine. Wu Sangui took the initiative to do something to the imperial court, and Zhang Zhun just missed a knot in his heart. On the side of the Ministry of Political Affairs of the Tiger Ben Army, there are many people who are a little hesitant to kill the imperial court. What they mean is that they also say that they should let the court go as much as possible. Zhang Zhun himself, in the face of such a trend of thought, is not good at killing too much. If it is a fight in the nest of the court and a rebellion of the chickens in the cage, it will be even better. Anyway, the crime is not with him Zhang Zhun.

It seems that it is necessary to give Wu Sangui a little help, so that he can get this matter done smoothly and satisfactorily. After completely calming the domestic situation, the Tiger Ben Army can expand externally with confidence. As long as the country is completely calmed, with his 400 years of knowledge, he will definitely be able to recover the domestic economy very quickly. As long as the economy develops, there will be all the demand and motivation for external expansion.

"Help me write back to him. If he makes a move, the Xuanwu Legion will cooperate. Also, you tell him not to worry about his own safety. I can promise that he will get what he deserves. He didn't need to pay attention to other people's opinions. ”

Zhang Zhun said slowly and deeply.

After saying this, Zhang Zhun's heart sighed quietly again.

This Wu Sangui is indeed ruthless enough, and he actually wants to give the court a nest. Even I didn't imagine such a possibility. Ruthless enough, really ruthless enough, eat people without spitting out bones! He is worthy of being the head of the big traitors! However, the current number of imperial troops is less than 100,000. Wu Sangui's 5,000 Liaodong cavalry is indeed more prominent. These Liaodong cavalry probably have no feelings for the imperial court.

At present, the Xuanwu Legion of the Tiger Army stationed in Luoyang is holding back most of the main forces of the imperial army. At present, the imperial court mainly relies on Hong Chengchou, Wang Kun, Shi Kefa and a few others to lead the troops. Needless to say, what is the number of Wang Kun. Hong Chengchou focused on the direction of Tongguan and had no time to care. Shi Kefa ...... In terms of leading troops, it is definitely not as good as Wu Sangui.

That Wang Dou is actually a talent. With the cooperation of his legion, Wu Sangui raided Xi'an Mansion and basically did not need to worry about the siege. As soon as he moves here, the Xuanwu Legion of the Tiger Army will definitely follow suit. The imperial court, which was hit by the abdomen and back, was afraid that it would not be able to avoid this catastrophe. Perhaps, it is indeed time to put an end to the existence of the imperial court.

If such a situation really occurs, the only variable is the various units of the rebel army entrenched in northern Shaanxi. They are the only military force in the Guanzhong region other than the imperial court. When Wu Sangui attacked Xi'an Mansion, what choice would they make? Help the Tiger Army? Help the imperial court?

"What is the situation of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai? Did they reach any agreement at their meeting in Zhenwon? ”

Zhang Zhun thought for a moment, and then suddenly asked again.

After settling the peace with the imperial court, the opponent of the Tiger Ben Army was the former Shaanxi Rebel Army. After the capture of Luoyang by the Tiger Ben Army, the Shaanxi rebel army has not made any major moves. They have been cowering in the north of Shaanxi, as if they are about to recuperate.

"Miss Dong had sent information before, saying that they were meeting in Zhenyuan, but nothing came of it. The internal contradictions between them have never been resolved. At present, they are still stationed in Guyuan Prefecture, Pingliang Province and Qingyang Province. ”

Wang Junyu said cautiously.

"Ordered the Xuanwu Legion and the Wang Dou Legion to first concentrate all their efforts and cooperate with Wu Sangui to solve the imperial court. After settling the imperial court, all the troops immediately launched an attack on Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others! ”

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said awe-inspiringly.

"Understood!"

Wang Junyu agreed.

With the issuance of one order after another, the wheels of war in the country are rumbling again. The front-line troops of the Tiger Ben Army moved quickly and swooped down ferociously towards one target after another. The sound of gunfire stretched from Guanzhong in Shaanxi to the border of Yunnan.

According to Zhang Zhun's estimate, the domestic war situation should not be over in a short time. I wonder if the main fleet of the Dutch will appear in the sea north of the distant Penghu Islands? Can Saviara's plan succeed?
