Chongzhen Undergraduates

Who would have expected that Chen Zilong would strike so quickly, and as soon as the war stabilized, the entire new official system would have been perfected.

It was too late to intervene at this time.

And Yunnan itself is another system, and reforming the soil to return to the locals is in contradiction with the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.The difficulty for the imperial court to reform land and return lies in its control, and now there are 60 troops in Sichuan, and all the chieftains in Sichuan and Guizhou have been reformed.

Now as long as Mu Tianbo nods, which chieftain in Yunnan will dare to resist? Unless he dislikes his good days.Zhu Youjian's reform of the land and return to the bloc is not bloody, and there are even preferential policies for the original chieftain, who is stupid?

Everyone in the hall looked at Mu Tianbo, the key to this matter was to see his mind.

"Your Majesty, the Mu family has been favored by the Emperor for hundreds of years, and they share the same relationship with the country. As long as the Emperor calls, Mu Tianbo will not hesitate to do so."

Zhu Youjian didn't doubt Mu's loyalty at all.Old Zhu's family had never treated Mu's family badly, and Mu Tianbo knew what he should do.Follow the emperor, you can't lose.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian dared to do it with great fanfare in Yunnan.According to Zhu Youjian's plan, he wanted Li Dingguo to take [-] soldiers to Yunnan to put down those dishonest chieftains.By the way, let Li Dingguo, a hero in the minds of Yunnan people, live up to his name.

As for the reorganization of other troops, it can be carried out in situ in Sichuan.There is a source of soldiers, food, military pay, and even basic military industry.The southwest is the real ideal base for Daming.

Like later generations, China's strategic rear area should be in Sichuan.

……

Knowing that Dorgon, who was defeated in Sichuan, was seriously ill for ten days, he never thought that his deliberate move would finally take advantage of Zhu Youjian.

"Is it true that the sky never dies?"

"No. Although Sichuan failed, most of the troops are still there. At worst, we don't want to go to the west." Dorgon, the regent of Houjin, was dissatisfied, and he must kill Zhu Youjian.

"Send Duoduo, he can start to attack. Kill me hard, kill all those southern barbarians."

"My lord, what about the Azig Department in Hanzhong?" Fan Wencheng asked.

"Let him hand over the defense area to Wu Sangui's hungry wolf, take all the soldiers to Duoduo, and then go back to the capital. And Wu Sangui's hungry wolf, don't think that this king doesn't know that he is raising a son of Zhu Youjian. Now it's time for him and Zhu Youjian to fight, just to help us contain part of the Ming army."

Wu Sangui stayed in Hanzhong, and there were many happy events.

The first is that he married a concubine; the second is that his people got the formula for new gunpowder in Chongqing; the third is that Hou Jin gave him all of Shaanxi.

"Is the formula real?" Wu Sangui was both happy and skeptical. He really didn't expect the formula of the new gunpowder to be so easy to get.

"Reporting to King Pingxi, the recipe is indeed true. However, making this new type of gunpowder requires a machine called a steam engine. We don't have this kind of machine."

"Enhancement machine? What kind of machine?" Wu Sangui had never heard of it, but in his mind, as long as it was a machine, it shouldn't be difficult to find a few skilled craftsmen to tinker with it.The people of Ming Dynasty don't look down on strange tricks, they only care about secret recipes.

"It is said to be a machine similar to boiling water."

"What's the difficulty? Tomorrow, I will be anxious to build it by skilled craftsmen in the army." Wu Sangui has now imagined that he owns countless cannons and conquers the world. Those countless soldiers holding new firecrackers, under his command Slam Fang Qiong...

Chapter 356: Li Chengdong Treason

For two years, Li Chengdong thought he had been forgotten by the court.

In the past two years, he has lived like a god, receiving fixed money every month, no one cares, no one asks, he is the local emperor of Macheng.

The original regular army of 3 people was directly turned into a bandit army by him, even though they had been trained in Nanjing for a short period of time.

Wang Zhigang and Wu Zhaosheng followed Li Chengdong, and even got married to five concubines, earning enough money to spend their entire lives.The three of them never expected to be in such a situation after leaving Gao Jie.

There is no special reward for the military salary Zhu Youjian gave to Hubei, and there is no way to report the empty quota. How did Li Chengdong get rich?

population.Population of the Dabie Mountains.

In two years, Li Chengdong secretly sent troops to cooperate with the bandits, arrested 10,000+ people and sent them to Hong Chengchou, and leaked military information, resold goods from the north and the south, etc., and gained a lot of wealth.Except that he didn't dare to be presumptuous around Wuchang directly, there was nothing else he didn't dare to do.

Zhu Youjian has also received news, but he really can't afford to replace Li Chengdong and his subordinates, so he can only hope to rely on Li Chengdong's self-consciousness and conscience.

Now, Li Chengdong's "conscience" tells Duoduo that he is going to invest money.

"Brother, there are a full 50 troops. They are all genuine regular troops, without any adulteration." Wang Zhigang was quietly sent to Henan by Li Chengdong, and he personally saw the strength of everyone in Duoduo.

"Yes! I heard that troops are still being sent from Sichuan. If a million troops attack Huaisi together, who can withstand it?" Wu Zhaosheng said in horror.

"Tch! Didn't you hear that Azig was defeated in Sichuan two days ago?" Although Li Chengdong was horrified, he also knew that the Ming army's side was not all bad news.

"Brother, it was a short-term defeat, the main force was not lost, and Guangyuan and Jiange are still in the hands of Jin Bing.

Dodo told me that they will immediately concentrate all their forces to attack Nanjing.This million troops going south is rare in ancient and modern times.It is mainly those of us who suffer the most, and we are the first to bear the brunt. "

"It is!"

Wang Zhigang's words pierced Li Chengdong's heart, they were stationed on the front line of fighting gold.If the Houjin army goes to war, the million-dollar army will destroy them like a huge wave.

"Has Dodo agree to our request?" Li Chengdong is concerned about what position Dodo will give him.

"Agreed, I will grant Wu Song the title of commander-in-chief, leading [-] troops." Wu Zhaosheng said proudly.

"Why didn't you get a title?" Li Chengdong frowned.

"The other side said that our soldiers are a little less, and we can only be knighted if we have more than 3. We only have [-]! So Duoduo said to make up for us, and see how we perform in Jiangnan."

"What if I disagree?" Li Chengdong asked.

"Prince Yu said that they have already started mobilizing troops. If we don't surrender, we will be attacked. And even if we go to ask for reinforcements now, it will be too late." Wang Zhigang continued.

"Damn, none of them are good things. These days, you have to have your own soldiers. Go write back to Duoduo, and say that we will prepare the team to go north tomorrow."

……

Li Chengdong's betrayal was beyond Zhu Youjian's expectation, but also within Zhu Youjian's expectation.

Since this is a person who is more capricious than Wu Sangui, basically don't believe the historical data.Moreover, his initial influence in Gao Jie's department has disappeared, and the only cronies of Li Chengdong can be taken away.

"Your Majesty, the matter in Sichuan is over. Dorgon decided that we would not be able to take care of Jianghuai."

"How long do you estimate it will take to integrate the army here in Sichuan?" Zhu Youjian has never understood why Duoduo gathered a large number of troops instead of doing anything.Now that I think about it, I'm not stupid.

Duoduo refrained from doing anything, because he was afraid that Zhu Youjian would transfer Sichuan's main force eastward.Regardless of whether Azig can succeed in Sichuan, Dorgon must wait until Daming is at its weakest.

If Azig wins, then leave this army to reorganize the Western Army; if Azig loses, it will take time for Zhu Youjian to take over the Western Army.At this time, the main force of the Daming Sichuan Army did not dare to move at all.

Don't look at the fact that Jianghuai now has hundreds of thousands of main forces of the Ming army, but Dorgon understands that Zhu Youjian's real main force is in Sichuan.This kind of thing can't be hidden at all, and it is clear at a glance based on the record of more than half a year.

"It will take at least five months. The first is the stability of Yunnan. The implementation of reforming the land and returning it to the local people has made some chieftains feel restless. Even if we don't directly clean up, we need to form local troops so that the local area has the strength to deal with it;

Second, the Jin soldiers still occupy Guangyuan, and they can go south to endanger Sichuan at any time. As long as we transfer the troops from Sichuan, Wu Sangui will definitely plot Sichuan;

Third, there are hundreds of thousands of Western troops that need to be reorganized. In less than half a year, the reorganization and training of new weapons and new tactics will not be possible.At this time, when the main force of the Sichuan army leaves, it is hard to say what will happen. "

Zuo Maodi analyzed the whole situation in detail.Then Zuo Maodi's words made Zhu Youjian's heart freeze.
