Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 135 Western Sichuan Conference, Three Generals Leadership System
In mid-December, Sun Kewang and others led [-] to [-] soldiers, finally got rid of the pursuit of the Qing army and came to Huize, Dongchuan Prefecture.

Dongchuan is located at the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan, and it faces Guizhou across Wusa Mansion.

The Great Western Army stayed in Dongchuan for a long time, Sun Kewang couldn't make up his mind about what to do, and Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu also felt confused.

In the afternoon of this day, Sun Kewang summoned the surviving Daxi civil and military officials in the tent of the Chinese army, and solemnly discussed the future.

Snowflakes were flying outside the tent and the cold wind was howling.The atmosphere in the tent was depressing and morale was low.

Sun Kewang took a sip of hot tea, glanced at everyone in the tent and said, "Everyone, His Majesty the Emperor passed away on Phoenix Mountain, and we have already become people who have ruined our family and country. If we blindly flee without a clear plan and strategic goal, we It will become a homeless dog."

"Today, the general of Japan raised his tent and summoned you all, hoping that you will come to discuss the big plan. What should our Daxi Army do? You can express your opinions."

Li Dingguo analyzed: "There are Manchurian Tartars entrenched in Sichuan and Shu, and Li Guo's army is in Guizhou. I heard that the Ming army is mining coal mines in Liupanshui, not far from Dongchuan, and there are many chieftains in Yunnan, and the Duke of Qian is in charge. Our situation It is very serious, with strong enemies around, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed!"

Liu Wenxiu tentatively said: "General Sun, when the emperor died, it might be a perfect strategy to let us submit to Chongzhen. After all, the domestic situation is very different from the previous years. Our main enemy is the Manchu Manchus. , in my opinion..."

Before Liu Wenxiu could finish speaking, Daxi Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin jumped up and shouted: "No, you must not surrender to the Ming Dynasty!"

"Why?" Liu Wenxiu asked.

Wang Zhaolin didn't have any skills, but he could flatter Zhang Xianzhong, so he became the prime minister.

When Zhang Xianzhong was in Chengdu, his temperament became capricious and he liked to kill people. Not only did Wang Zhaolin not persuade him, but he added fuel to the fire.

It can be said that Wang Zhaolin bears a great responsibility for the alienation between the Great Western Army and the common people in Shu!

"After surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, let alone whether Chongzhen will settle accounts later, our glory and wealth will be ruined. Can the three generals still hold military power? Can I still be prime minister?" Wang Zhaolin said.

Li Dingguo frowned and said: "It's already the time of life and death, and you still think about your own glory and wealth, it's too small!"

Wang Zhaolin glared at Li Dingguo and said: "General Li said it so easily, so what if the structure is small, born in troubled times, and you can survive by firmly grasping the power in your hands. I am purely thinking about the soldiers!"

Sun Kewang didn't speak, and the others were also silent.

Wang Zhaolin knew that his words had touched the hearts of many people, so he said while the iron was hot: "We are not at the end of the day, and we still have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in our hands. No one should underestimate them. The most urgent thing is to send troops around to hunt for food and raise a large number of soldiers." Food and grass come, and then look for opportunities to make a comeback."

"Fighting food? You mean to send troops out to rob the common people?" Li Dingguo frowned even deeper.

"Exactly!"

Liu Wenxiu stood up abruptly, and shouted: "No way! The reason why we were defeated by the Manchu Tartars was that the policies we implemented before were not supported by the people in central Shu, which caused anger and resentment? Don’t you know how to learn a lesson?”

Wang Zhaolin pointed at Liu Wenxiu's nose and cursed: "Liu Wenxiu, what the Great Western Army did in Shu was approved by His Majesty the Emperor. Well, the Emperor has just passed away, and you are slandering him. Could it be that Do you think the emperor is a tyrant and a fool?"

Liu Wenxiu was at a loss for words for a while, Li Dingguo said: "If you are wrong, you are wrong, why bother to cover up your mistakes?"

There was an endless quarrel in the tent, and the meeting to discuss the next strategy of the Great Western Army turned into a battle of routes.Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu insisted on changing the previous violent and cruel policies, while Wang Zhaolin and several confidants used Zhang Xianzhong's name to suppress others.

At this moment, a guard walked into the tent and reported: "Shiping Tusilong is asking to see you in the field."

"Why is he here?" Sun Kewang hurriedly stood up and ran out, seeing Long Zaitian, who looked like a beggar in ragged clothes, he almost didn't recognize him.

"Old General Long, how did you become like this?" Sun Kewang was extremely surprised.

"It's hard to say anything. Give me some food and wine first. I'm starving." Long Zaitian said anxiously.

When Long Zaitian had eaten and drank enough, Sun Kewang asked again: "Old General Long, if you don't stay at Shiping, why did you come to Huize?"

Long Zaitian was Zhang Xianzhong's adoptive father, and Zhang Xianzhong was the foster father of Sun Kewang and the other three. According to their seniority, he was the grandfather of Sun Kewang and the other three.

But Long Zaitian kept his attitude very low. He briefly talked about the changes in Yunnan and said in an almost begging tone:

"Three generals, I'm here to invite you to send troops to Yunnan. You don't even look at it, just because of the old relationship between the old man and Emperor Daxi, I will help you, okay?"

Hearing that there was a big change in Yunnan, Sun Kewang and others looked at each other in blank dismay. It was really hard to imagine that the local chieftain dared to besiege Mu Wangfu.

Liu Wenxiu said: "This is an opportunity. If we can enter Yunnan and take down Kunming City, we won't be afraid of the Qing soldiers coming to attack!"

"Indeed!" Li Dingguo nodded.

However, Wang Zhaolin didn't understand the situation, so he always put on the prime minister's airs and asked: "Duke Qian asked us for help, will he be paid? Our army is short of soldiers and horses, and lacks food and grass. Does Duke Qian have anything to say?"

"Oh, my Prime Minister Wang, the old man and Duke Qian were trapped in Chuxiong City by the army of Sha Dingzhou. The old man escaped to Huize after risking his life and death. How can there be any food for you in a hurry?" Long Zaitian spread his hands and said.

"Without food, grass, gold and silver, we will not get involved in Yunnan's affairs!" Wang Zhaolin said.

Long Zaitian was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he couldn't get angry. He said, "The old man has a suggestion. The Daxi Army can use the banner of Qian Guogong's wife, the Jiao family, to avenge the Jiao family. The people in Yunnan regard Qian Guogong as the local Patron saint, I heard that you are going to avenge the Mu Palace, and you will definitely donate generously."

Wang Zhaolin laughed contemptuously and said, "Duke Qian couldn't even protect himself, so why did he become the patron saint of the people in Yunnan? This trick can only coax children."

Liu Wenxiu couldn't bear it any longer, so she walked up behind Wang Zhaolin suddenly, strangled his neck with one hand, and stabbed him in the chest with the other.

Wang Zhaolin screamed, fell to the ground, and died not long after.

It happened so suddenly that many people had no time to stop it.Blood flowed all over the floor, and Wang Zhaolin's confidantes yelled and wanted to run away.

"Stop!" Liu Wenxiu yelled sharply, raising her blood-stained knife and said, "It's time for our Daxi Army to seek a change. This general killed Wang Zhaolin, an old stubborn, out of a sense of fairness! If the rest of the people continue to insist Wrong route, don't blame this general for being rude, and take my knife first!"

"General, please forgive me..." Those people knelt down and begged for mercy.

Liu Wenxiu took back the knife, raised his hand to Sun Kewang and said, "General Sun, please make a decision!"

Standing on the same front as Liu Wenxiu, Li Dingguo also bowed to Sun Kewang and said: "General Sun, please make a decision!"

Now that the matter has come to an end, Sun Kewang said: "When I was still in Chengdu, this general advised the emperor to implement a benevolent government many times, but Wang Zhaolin committed adultery blindly, which finally caused the loss of Daxi's hearts in Shu. Wang Zhaolin killed him and killed him. You have to blame yourself!"

"But this general does not dare to monopolize power without authorization. You and I are brothers and sisters. From now on, the three of us will lead the Great Western Army together and reappear the glory of the past!"

After killing Wang Zhaolin, the problem of the Daxi Army's route was finally resolved.Sun Kewang proposed to hold military power jointly with Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, and adopted a special "three generals leadership system".

Then the Daxi Army rested for two days, broke out of camp, and entered Yunnan from Dongchuan.

As Long Zaitian said, they were under the banner of the Jiao clan, and the local people ate pots of rice wine to welcome the Daxi Army. They did not encounter any resistance along the way, and the officials opened the city and surrendered.

The Western Army arrived in Qujing, which was very close to Kunming.Li Dingguo is a military prodigy, and proposed not to attack Kunming City for the time being, but to go south to attack the old nest of Shadingzhou.

When Sha Dingzhou and his wife got the news, they mistakenly believed that it was indeed the Jiao family who had come to take revenge, otherwise how could they attack their lair, so they fled Kunming in panic.

After Sha Dingzhou and his wife left the Kunming area, Li Dingguo suddenly returned to his army and marched westward, easily occupying Kunming City, and the Western Army gained a firm foothold in Yunnan.
