He accepted the cheers and support of the people along the way, and from time to time he had to dismount and communicate with some gentry and people, hugged the children, drank the good wine sent by the old lady, and these friendly skills were still unsavory. Lu Haoshan walked for more than half an hour from the city gate to the Governor's Mansion.
The soldiers had already asked them to go back to the camp to rest. Everyone was tired after rushing so far. However, soldiers could rest, but the senior management could not relax. The prisoners had to be taken care of, placed, and gold, silver and wealth were counted and put into the warehouse. At the same time, rewards, pensions and other work also needed to be carried out simultaneously. Fortunately, there was a good butler in Lu Haoshan, Li Nian, who had arranged it early. Although there were too many things, everything seemed well and orderly.
He didn't care about socializing with the wealthy families and the old gentry. As soon as he returned to the Governor's Mansion, Lu Haoshan immediately went to the study room to discuss countermeasures. Wu Sangui acted as the Guaya of the Qing Dynasty and led Qing troops into the pass. This was a huge matter. When the situation developed to this extent, Lu Haoshan wanted to discuss with Li Nian.
"Mr. Li" Lu Haoshan opened the mountain and said, "The Qing soldiers entered the pass, and Li Zicheng was defeated and retreated. What should we do now?"
Li Nian had long thought that Lu Haoshan would ask him this question, and had a solution in his mind. He immediately responded: "The defeat of the Dashun Army has been determined. According to the current situation, if Li Zicheng was strong, he could dominate the world like the Three Kingdoms. If the Dashun Army was not successful, then the only ones who could be qualified to compete for the world were Dongweng and the Manchu nobles."
"Oh, the original news is detailed."
Li Nian said with some regrets: "The Dashun Army was too naive. After fighting some battles, he thought that he could dominate the world with more soldiers and widespread generals. He made three fatal mistakes, and even a good game turned into a bad game, or even a dead game. The first mistake was to be arrogant when he held on to victory, and he did not want to make progress. After the soldiers captured wealth, they did not want to make progress, and they only cared about enjoyment. The people gradually lost their hearts; the second mistake was to estimate the situation wrong, thinking that the Qing Dynasty was a hatred with the previous dynasty. Now the change of dynasties will be resolved, and they did not face the ambition of the Qing Dynasty; the third mistake was to consider insufficient consideration. The number of teams crossing the river and expeditions in the east was not a problem for those people to deal with Wu Sangui, but in addition to the Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, it seemed that they were unable to do so."
"If the dog is too anxious, it will jump over the wall. It is not surprising that Wu Sangui is forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. However, Li Zicheng did not take this guise into consideration. Even though he was defeated, he was chased by the Qing soldiers all the way. The Dashun Army had a total of one million troops, but only 10,000 people were left in the capital. Because his military strength was too scattered, the number of troops to suppress the rebellion in the northwest was too large. After occupying Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi and other places, he had to station troops in various strategic areas to further disperse their troops. The most important point is that the Dashun Army's military strength was very complex. In addition to the people who were not trained, there were bandits, bandits, merged rebels, officers and soldiers of the previous dynasty, etc.."
After pausing, Li Nian continued to analyze: "To put it nicely, there are many people, but to put it nicely, it's called a mob. These people are okay to fight the wind. If they fight tough battles, they will probably run faster than rabbits. The Manchu cavalry was originally brave and the power of victory was even more unstoppable. Besides, Li Zicheng's pursuit of the stolen goods offended everyone. I don't know how many people want to stab him in the back. According to the students, he can't defend this Beijing anymore, and he can only retreat again and again. Therefore, he can still defend one acre of three points of land. If he can't stop the decline, hehe, it's not certain whether he can return it whole body. I don't know how many people want to peel his skin and suck his tendons."
It was amazing, I told him everything. Lu Haoshan looked at Li Nian who was talking about it and almost wanted to ask him if he had also traveled through time. His vision was so vicious. Fortunately, this kind of person was used by him. If Li Nian was the military advisor of the enemy camp, he would have to do this guy no matter what he said, otherwise he would suffer a great loss.
Lu Haoshan is now increasingly afraid to underestimate the ancients.
"Dongweng, Dongweng, are you okay?" Seeing Lu Haoshan wandering around the sky, Li Nian smiled bitterly, and did not dare to blame anything, so he could only whisper to make him come back to his senses.
"Oh, sorry, I was digesting Mr. Li's words just now and got distracted." Lu Haoshan asked directly: "There are many incense burners and many ghosts, so let them fight, and finally both sides will be injured. However, foreign invasion is also an opportunity. Mr. Li analyzed it well, and I guess he had a solution in his mind."
Some things are crisis and turnaround. Lu Haoshan understands very well that hiding in Sichuan is safe, but he also loses the best opportunity for development. What is the robbery in troubled times? What is the heart of the people. The times create heroes, and heroes are born with the trend. If you don’t stand up, there will naturally be someone who stands up.
Another important point is that if you see the Qing Dynasty raging in the great Chinese people and doing things indiscriminately, and if you don’t stop it, why do you have to do so many things?
Sichuan keeps its low profile and prepares for war, isn’t it just to deal with the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty?
Li Nian nodded and said, "Students are not talented, but they think of three strategies for the best, middle and lower?"
"Oh, please give me good command." Lu Haoshan said respectfully.
"The best strategy is to follow the trend and expel the Qing Tartars under the banner of national justice. The Qing Dynasty has been in chaos since the Tianqi period and has repeatedly invaded the border. I don't know how much blood debt he owed. Dongwen raised his arms and shouted, and the world will definitely respond to all changes. The middle strategy is to respond to all changes with the unchanging and let them wait for a life-and-death period before going out to get a bargain. However, this seems a bit inferior and does not convince the public. It is very likely to lose the opportunity to grow. The worst strategy is to support the King of Shu as the king, hold the banner of the previous dynasty, and recruit loyal and righteous people from the previous dynasty to attack the Qing Tartars together."
Lu Haoshan said in surprise: "Why is it a bad idea to support the King of Shu as the King? Isn't it better to use the world to make the world?"
Li Nian said helplessly: "Dongweng, this Shu King is a royal family, but he is far away from his bloodline. Now the prince of the previous dynasty and the prince are all in the hands of Li Zicheng. Then he orders us in the name of the prince. Isn't this a mistake?"
Yes, when it comes to the "resources" of the previous dynasty, Li Zicheng, who captured the capital, was much richer than himself. He was confused for a while. Lu Haoshan said a few words in self-deprecatingly, and then he smiled and said, "It seems that there is no choice now, so I can only choose the best strategy. Well, while the morale is now in full swing, I will personally lead a large army out of Sichuan. I cannot let the Qing Dynasty harm the people of the Central Plains, Mr. Li."
"Students are here," Li Nian responded immediately.
"The Qing soldiers entered the pass, and the Sichuan Army could not allow them to harm the people. Now we should prepare for intelligence collection, weapons, horses, and food. The time for us to leave Sichuan depends on Mr. Li." Lu Haoshan said lightly.
The Manchus sharpened their swords at the Central Plains in the early morning. In addition to the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, there were also the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. Their strength should not be underestimated. Li Zicheng also had millions of Dashun Army under his command. He must have asked them to fight hard first and finally come forward to pick up the remaining leaves. It cannot be too fast or too slow. Li Nian is undoubtedly the most experienced in grasping this time.
Li Nian immediately took the order and said, "Yes, the students obey the order."
Looking at Li Nian with a serious look, Lu Haoshan suddenly wanted to make a joke with him: "Mr. Li, are you still alone now?"
Li Nian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Lu Haoshan would suddenly discuss this issue with him. He was just talking about national affairs, but why did he suddenly ask about such a thing? He couldn't react for a while. Seeing Lu Haoshan looking at him with a smile, he said unnaturally: "Yes, the student is still the same person now."
"For Sichuan, Mr. Li has worked hard and made great contributions. It is not enough to have a woman in his family to warm up the bed. If you add a pillow at night, someone will know Leng Zhiyan. This time, he captured many young women, many of whom are both talented and beautiful. Mr. Li will pick a few of them back to be concubines when he has time."
When others encountered such an opportunity, they had already jumped up happily. Many soldiers secretly asked about the handling of those beautiful female prisoners, and some even proposed to exchange them for military achievements. Lu Haoshan also intends to solve the problem of bachelors in the army. However, when it comes to bachelors, they naturally give priority to solving the old bachelors, Li Nian.
"No, no, no, no," Li Nian quickly refused: "It's good to be a student alone, it's good, I dare not worry about the adults' worries.
Nine out of ten men are lustful, Li Nian really doesn’t eat fishy food? Lu Haoshan asked with a smile: “Is Mr. Li interested in someone? Who is it? Or, I will be the master of the moon for you?”
"this……"
Just when Li Nian hesitated, his subordinates suddenly heard from outside the study: "Report, Governor, someone from the disciples asked for a visit."
"Who?" Lu Haoshan opened the door of the study and asked in a deep voice.
If it is a trivial matter, my subordinates will not disturb me. Now someone comes to report it, it is probably not trivial.
The subordinate respectfully handed over a gift list and said, "Sir, this person said he was your old friend, so he was waiting outside the door."
Lu Haoshan took it and didn't dare to be surprised. He saw that the gift list read a top-quality Hetian jade ornament, a pair of night pearls, three hundred good horses, three thousand stones of grain, one hundred thousand taels of silver, and a very heavy gift. No wonder his subordinates actually chose to report at this time, but when Lu Haoshan looked at the signature below, his face suddenly became dark.
There are three words written on it: Fan Yongdou.
"Dongweng, what's wrong with this gift list?" Li Nian asked curiously when he saw Lu Haoshan's expression changed.
These days, there are not many people who can change their faces.
Lu Haoshan didn't say anything, and handed the gift list in his hand to Li Nian. Li Nian just saw it and immediately understood what was going on. A look of disgust appeared on his face and said, "This Qing Dynasty dog leg is here to run errands for his master again. He is really loyal."
Lu Haoshan paid attention to the movements of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty naturally would not leak the movements of the Qing Dynasty, especially Zhang Xianzhong came out to attack Sichuan. However, this Sichuan Governor-General, who was not exposed on weekdays, defeated the Western Army, known as a million-dense army, and even Zhang Xianzhong was killed. It would be impossible not to pay attention to it.
Now Dorgon and Li Zicheng are fighting fiercely, and it is necessary to win over allies, so they sent Fan Yongdou as the representative to win over them.
No wonder a beginner gift is so heavy, and I really can’t afford to pay for it. (To be continued...)
