What is coming is finally here.

Lu Hao understood the truth about the butterfly effect, and in fact, he also saw this effect. Perhaps without Sichuan, a stable fiscal revenue and military output, the Ming Dynasty declined faster than the original historical trajectory, and the various rebels made rapid progress. It was supposed to have steadily occupied Hunan and Yuanzhou, Jiangxi, in the 16th year of Chongzhen. Zhang Xianzhong of Ji'an prefectures completed this initiative in the 13th year of Chongzhen.

Not only did it occupy, but it also established a regime and appointed officials to manage it. It can be said that the future is bright. However, some people have done better than Zhang Xianzhong, that is, the famous Li Zicheng, who annihilated Sun Chuanting's troops and swept the northwest, with strong troops and abundant talents. However, Zhang Xianzhong was disagreeing with this "Brother Li" who was stronger than himself, so he naturally had to make plans early.

Therefore, the terrain and wealth of Sichuan deeply attracted him. Zhang Xianzhong was a pragmatic person who did what he said and led his subordinates to attack Sichuan.

Because of Zhang Xianzhong's bloodthirsty killing, the saying "Huguang fills Sichuan" was left in history, that is, Zhang Xianzhong killed Sichuan people and Sichuan had no population anymore, so the Qing government had to transfer the population from Huguang to Sichuan to develop. Of course, this is just one of the statements, but it is not believed that Lu Haoshan could not investigate in depth, and now it is impossible to investigate in depth.

First, this has not happened yet, and second, this has never happened.

Sichuan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Historically, Zhang Xianzhong is said to have ruled over Sichuan because of the sharp contradictions in Sichuan. The 13th family of shaking Huang and the people's movement to fight against yamen was greatly consumed. Zhang Yijia, the deputy chief of the Sichuan Censor, described the Daxi Army as "unstoppable", and said that Sichuan did not have no soldiers, but it was broken to be broken by the yellow." Unfortunately, all this no longer exists.

Through Zhang Rui and Lu Haoshan's method of using poison to fight poison, the big cancer of the shark Huang Shisan family was eliminated in one fell swoop. After five years of hard work, Sichuan can be said to be harmonious in politics and people live and work in peace. After those hard days in the late Ming Dynasty, the people cherished the hard-won life now and couldn't even support it. Where could anyone object?

Lu Haoshan sneered: "Hong Chengchou, led the elite troops with the two Caos, could not even attack. I don't know where the confidence of these Eight Kings came from. I dared to have my ideas. I really don't know how to live or die."

"This is not good," Li Nian shook his head and said, "In the battle of Zitian Pass, there are not many people who know the inside story. Both sides intend to calm the matter down. There are all rumors outside. Zhang Xianzhong has developed rapidly in recent years. It is estimated that Li Zicheng is the number one person in his eyes. He probably doesn't take it seriously. In addition, the number of this army is also a means he relies on."

"The number of troops?" Lu Haoshan asked with a frown.

Li Nian nodded and said, "Yes, the main force of the Daxi Army has forty-eight battalions. Each battalion claims to have 10,000 people. Although this is exaggerated, there are probably 200,000 to 300,000. In addition, he has many troops acting as cannon fodder. He claims to have 600,000 people, and the adults only have 100,000 people, fighting against six. If the adults listen to the students' advice and recruit more soldiers, I am afraid that the Huanghu will not dare to come."

If others lead troops, the more they are better. But Lu Haoshan is an exception. He pursues the principle of simplifying military affairs and simplifying government affairs. When he was separating Sichuan, there were about 150,000 troops. However, after the battle of Zitian Pass, the army did not increase but decreased, and only 100,000 was reduced from 150,000 to only 100,000. This is something Li Nian has always been obsessed with.

When Lu Haoshan heard Li Nian say this, he knew that he had an idea in his heart. He immediately said, "Mr. Li has a good idea, so please tell me clearly first."

"Dongweng, we have kept a low profile over the years. It is estimated that only Hong Chengchou knows the real strength. When we used only two thousand musket soldiers, Hong Chengchou, who was in the mountains and rivers, returned home with hatred." Li Nian said confidently: "Now we have nearly 100 new cannons, more than 10,000 new muskets, sufficient food, and well-trained soldiers. What we are afraid of is not him coming, but that he will not come. We have to consider how to catch them all in one place."

After pausing, Li Nian said with his eyes lit up: "Zhang Xianzhong has been a crime for many years and has accumulated a lot of gold, silver and wealth. This time he went north and plundered Hunan and other places. He used beads to make a bucket of gold and carts. It is said that thousands of carriages using gold and silver and wealth alone have been used. Now he has sent it, and he has sent it."

Well, Li Nian has followed him a lot, knowing the importance of money, and has become a little wealthy fan.

"Cough cough" Lu Haoshan coughed twice, and then said with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, the key point is, how can I catch all this yellow tiger in one go?"

"Yes, yes, Dongweng forgives me, it's Meng Lang," Li Nian said immediately: "According to students' analysis, we have Qinfeng in the north, Sanxia in the east, and the foreign people in the west. If there is no accident, we should move south. Based on the information, we can calculate that they should enter from Wanxian. What we want is to lure the enemy into deep and then annihilate it in one fell swoop."

After saying that, Li Nian pointed to the location of Peizhou on the map and said, "This is Zhang Xianzhong's burial place."

………………

"Hurry up, the Eight Kings have orders. You can only rest when you arrive at Wangniudun before dark."

"Come on, keep up, the noise kills"

"Be careful, this box is full of antiques. If you dare to break one, how many heads do you have?"

"Hurry up, when you arrive in Sichuan, you will have whatever you want. Those wives are handsome, don't be too slow."

On an official road in Yiling, Hubei, teams with different functions are marching forward, including infantry, soldiers, women, coachmen who use goods, etc. Their purpose is the same, that is, Sichuan, the country of Tianfu. Of course, their goal today is a place called Wangniudun.

On a mountain next to the official road, soldiers with distinctively clad clothes and armor surrounded the small mountain one after another. The reason was very simple. Their leader, Zhang Xianzhong, who was known as the Eight Kings of Xiying, was on the top of the mountain.

Zhang Xianzhong has a big horse face, long and yellow, nicknamed Huang Hu. At this moment, he is not the humble border army, nor is he a little constable who looks at people's faces, nor is he a small character who follows Wang Ziyong to please the leader. Now he is a hero holding heavy troops and looking at the world. Looking at the continuous team, Zhang Xianzhong felt extremely happy when he thought of himself as having the power of life and death at the foot of the mountain.

If the progress goes smoothly and the rule of Sichuan is divided, then it will be a king that can break the soil and compete for the world. How happy it will be.

Behind Zhang Xianzhong, there were three respectful young men. They were all young generals with outstanding performance in the army and Zhang Xianzhong's right-hand assistants. They were Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi.

Of course, these three people have a special identity: they are all adopted sons accepted by Zhang Xianzhong. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
