Li Zicheng is not a first-class master, and most of the time he will only destroy, not build. When the people were still looking forward to the eastward expedition to Yanyun, it can be seen that the Ming court has actually lost the hearts of the people.

Chongzhen's refusal to cancel the "three salaries" of the additional party to his death, was abandoned by the people like a piece of, and the people's hearts have been irreversible, these are all facts.

And Gu Junen's focus on attacking the Zhu family's descendants for their arrogance and lasciviousness and wanton expropriation, although it was out of his own needs, he was not fabricating right and wrong.

The descendants of the Zhu family really couldn't find a few elephant words, and even Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, who was packaged as a "virtuous king" by the Donglin Party, had only been in charge of the country for two days, and he also took the initiative to surrender to the Manchu Dynasty.

After Gu Junen talked endlessly, he clearly proposed to let Qin Mu establish his own banner and establish himself as the king, of course Qin Mu couldn't agree immediately.

Since ancient times, people who want to be emperors will not directly tell others that I want to be emperors, and they need to be persuaded by subordinates again and again before they can accept it.

You may think this behavior is hypocritical, but there is a lot of information about it.

First of all, this can express a humble attitude to the people of the world, and everyone can understand that you should eat good things in your bowl, but your eating appearance should not be too ugly, otherwise it will inevitably attract criticism from the world.

Secondly, it is also an opportunity for subordinates to show loyalty and reflect their own value. Everyone wants to eat good things, and if you eat all the meat, you have to give your subordinates some soup and share the merits.

Moreover, it can also convey to the world a message that everyone is looking forward to, look, so many people support him, if he is not wise, will so many people persuade him again and again?

Qin Mu didn't agree, as a subordinate, he naturally had to make persistent efforts.

Huo Sheng was not polite at all, and then stood up and said: "My lord is fighting to the death with the Tartars here, but King Lu and King Tang are busy fighting for power and profit, and they are filthy with each other, and supporting such a person will not make the soldiers of the three armies feel cold." My lord, except for you, no one is qualified to command our soldiers, and only adults are qualified to be the lord of the world."

"!" Qin Mu scolded, "Now that the entire Central Plains is darkened by Hu Chen, the people are displaced and slaughtered, how can we talk about the common masters of the world at this time?" ”

Sima An came out and said: "What the adults say is extremely true, but as the saying goes, the name is not right. Words don't go well. If you want to expel the Tartars and restore China, you should hold high the banner of righteousness, so that you can gather the world's talents, unite as one, and overcome the difficulties together. ”

Zhuge Min also persuaded loudly: "My lord, the Lu Fan and the Tang Fan are both the Tenth Yuan Branch, the Lu Fan has no virtuous name, and the Tang Fan is really a criminal domain. They are not qualified to inherit the unification, and the two are just puppets erected by local heroes for their own selfishness; If it can be established, who in the world cannot stand?

My lord Funing River right, Debu Quartet. Benevolence and all things, soft obedience to virtue, rebellion to punishment, resistance to Mingwei to take no kind. The rod Dashun is in the midst of Su Yu. Purification is both applied and the heart of the soil is rated; When the wind of righteousness is smooth, it will be followed by a long way. Tianzuo is hypocritical. There will be a Lord, a Lord, a Worshipper, who is not an adult or a genus. ”

Wu Jinxi, who is proficient in the art of Taiyi Qiren, said: "My lord, since ancient times, the virtuous have lived in it, and now they look up to the heavens and look down on the hearts of the people.

Adults and the sun and the moon, no darkness and no candles, far-sighted, out of the mind, not more than dogs and horses worried about the country, late to see the road to the people and gods to open Thailand. I hope that adults will not take small deeds first, worry about the head of Qian, do not take concession as a matter, and comfort the hope of the whole world. The so-called life is prosperous in the withered wattles, the abundant muscles are in the rotten bones, and the gods and men are safe, and there is no misfortune. ”

All the people in the hall came out one after another, began to talk about the past and the present, and threw away their book bags.

Qin Mu was unmoved, and said calmly: "Since everyone does not agree to support the King of Lu or the King of Tang, the matter of supporting the establishment will be discussed in the future, now our army is facing military pressure from two aspects;

On the Eastern Front, Duoduo's troops are flourishing and aggressive, Chizhou has turned into a scorched earth, Tartars burning, killing and plundering, all evil, we must not sit idly by;

In addition, according to the news that the Qing army was gathering troops in Henan and Shaanxi, as expected, it would soon invade Xiangyang in the south, and our army must formulate a countermeasure as soon as possible. ”

Qin Mu said this, and after a pause, he continued: "What I said above is all at the tactical level, in the face of such a crisis, we can't treat headaches and feet, we must have a complete strategic deployment, which direction should we focus on next, let's discuss it together." ”

As soon as Qin Mu spoke, everyone had a tacit understanding and did not dwell on the matter of persuasion, because this matter requires a gradual process, and the number of people who persuaded is too small.

Regarding the question of the strategic direction, Li Mingtang, the prefect of Wuchang, came out first and said: "My lord, Sichuan Juhuguang is in the upper reaches, and it is really advisable to take it first to consolidate Huguang;

Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong died violently, the Great Western Army was leaderless, and now Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons are not prestigious, none of them are enough to convince the public, and the Great Western Army is gradually falling apart, which is the best time for our army to enter Sichuan, otherwise, once the Great Western Army reunites, or is the first to be taken by the Manchu Tartars, our side will be extremely passive. ”

Li Mingtang is a native of Sichuan, and it is normal for him to have such a suggestion, and it has been supported by many people.

Indeed, Zhang Xianzhong died too suddenly, and the four righteous Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi all restored their old surnames, among which Sun Kewang also changed his name to Sun Kewang, and it is self-evident what he "wants";

The problem is that Sun Kewang can't convince the other three, the four of them are now fighting openly and secretly, and for the Qin army, now is indeed the best time to seize Sichuan.

However, heavyweights such as Sima An did not support shifting the military focus to Sichuan.

Yang Shen said: "My lord, it is really inappropriate to take Sichuan in the west at this time, this is a move to abandon the original and chase the end, at present, the great enemy of our army is the Manchu Tartars, and the march into Sichuan will greatly disperse the strength of our army, and it is also possible to force Sun Kewang to join forces with the four of them to resist our army;

If our army is trapped in Sichuan and cannot extricate itself, Jiangxi and Huguang will be in danger. Moreover, if you want to gather the popularity of the world, you must always hold high the banner of righteousness to resist the expulsion of the Tartars, if you abandon the Tartars and turn to attack Sichuan, it will make the people of the world cold. ”

Qin Mu bowed his head to Yang Shen when he heard this, military is an extension of politics, so when considering strategic issues, the first thing to consider is political factors, otherwise you will lose more than you gain.

Qin Mu is not a descendant of the Zhu family, at this time, only by standing on the front line of the anti-Qing Dynasty can he win the popularity of the people, and the people can unite as one, which is much more important than a Sichuan.

Gu Junen came out and said: "My lord, Jinling is the state of Sangzi, controlling Jingchu in the west and Wuyue in the east. After Ming Taizu built the capital of Jinling, Jinling has become the head of the world, with incomparable symbolic significance, to get Jinling, then to get the head of the world, can make the world from the scenery, the people return to the heart;

The adults now control the land of Jingchu on the right side of the river, and go down the river, which can become the top of Mount Tai, and the right side of the river and the left side of the river, the Jinling battle line is not long, which is conducive to the rapid advance of our army, and the logistics supply is not lost;

Duoduo first arrived, the foothold was not stable, so he slaughtered Yangzhou, issued a shaving order, aroused the fierce resistance of the people in Jiangnan, the adults at this time held high the banner of righteousness, with the power of the great victory down the river, the people of Jiangnan must have responded, and the expulsion of the Tartars is just around the corner, therefore, Jinling should be taken first. ”

Including Yang Shen, Zhuge Min, Wu Jinxi and others, they all expressed their support for attacking Jiangnan with all their might.

He Liang put forward a different opinion, only to see him say: "My lord, the Manchu Qing heavy troops are concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Central Plains and Guanzhong troops are relatively empty.

Jinghu is under the governance of adults, the people's livelihood is rich, and it can be a granary, while the people in the northwest are fierce, and there are more martial artists, which is the arsenal of the world; Moreover, once the northwest is taken, it can trade with the Hu people of Hexi and Hetao; In commerce, it can promote the prosperity of Huguang, and militarily, it can obtain the most scarce war horses in our army;

In this way, there is a granary in the south as the base, there is a hyogura in the north to be relied upon, the grain is full of soldiers, from the west to the east, condescending, take the three sides, and restore the Central Plains, when the Jiangnan does not need to send large soldiers, the Tartars are bound to gain a foothold again, and it is inevitable to retreat from Yanyun, or even withdraw from the customs. ”

What He Liang said was supported by Sima An and Li Yuan. Qin Mu pondered for a long time, but it was difficult to decide for a while.

With the current strength of the Qin army, there can only be one main direction of attack, north or east, if you "step on two boats", one is not good and it is very likely to lead to a loss of the whole game.

If it is eastward, the most haode result is to be able to quickly defeat Duoduo, but it is almost impossible to completely annihilate it, and then the main force of Duoduo will withdraw to Jiangbei, and the forces of Central Plains and Guanzhong will increase, and it will be very difficult to achieve the goal of capturing Heluo and Guanzhong.

The Central Plains had been war-torn for a long time, and the people were determined, and it was actually easier for the people to accept the rule of the Manchus, and if the Manchus had been in operation for a long time, after the people accepted the rule of the Manchus, it would be difficult to predict the outcome of the war of unification from the south to the north.

If it is to take advantage of the emptiness of troops in the Central Plains of the Tartars, take Heluo and Guanzhong first, the battle line of the Qin army will be very long, the Qin army is mainly infantry, and the Tartars are mainly cavalry, and the initiative of the attack is in the hands of the Tartars.

All in all, taking Jiangnan first is conducive to future defense, and the worst can also be ruled by dividing the river;

Taking Heluo and Guanzhong first is conducive to future attacks, but this is a dangerous move, which can be yujian, once such a situation is formed, the Tartars will definitely storm Heluo, in case Heluo is lost, Guanzhong and Huguang will be divided into two pieces.

At the same time, the Qin army and the Great Western Army were old enemies, and the possibility of the Great Western Army in Sichuan taking advantage of the fire to loot and attack on both sides could not be ruled out.

Qin Mu sighed secretly: It would be good if I could take Sichuan at the same time!
