404 Change the Heart

Ningqiangzhou is just a small city. Neither the troops stationed or the defense capabilities are enough to block the well-equipped Sichuan Army. However, in ancient times, it was an era when the army was famous. No matter what they did, they had to explain clearly what they were going to do and why they did this. For example, if someone wanted to rebel and could not find the emperor's fatal shortcomings, they also had to use a reason to "clear the king's side" to say that the emperor had villains around him, and wanted to eliminate villains who harmed the people for the emperor, and he was thinking about the country and the country, etc. In short, he had to find a reason with positive energy.

Zhu Di created his nephew's rebellion in this name.

Although the process was tortuous and not very glorious, he still achieved his goal and wiped out the 6,000 Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty that had attacked the camp, Ningqiang Prefecture had become an empty city. Sun Xiong took down the first small city out of Sichuan without any effort. After taking over the small city, Sun Xiong was not in a hurry to attack, but immediately took over the small city. While strengthening defense, he sent people to take over the various government offices in the city to maintain public security, etc., to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.

It was a whole body that affected only more than 6,000 casualties in Ningqiangzhou, but this battle was a bombshell, which shocked the land of China, Sichuan, Qing Dynasty and Nanming all responded immediately.

The Qing Dynasty responded the fastest. After the battle in Ningqiangzhou, Dorgon led 50,000 elite troops to reinforce Hanzhong the next day. In order to resist the attack of the Sichuan army, he recruited a large number of craftsmen to build cities. In order to speed up the progress, he demolished the houses and fed wood, and drove the people to build city walls and fortifications. At the same time, Hong Chengchou, a former Ming Dynasty general who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, was awarded the title of Pingxi Hou and led his army to Dingjun Mountain, echoing Dorgon.

Although the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, the Ming royal family in various places had not yet died. Due to the premature collapse of the Daxi regime established by Zhang Xianzhong, the Southern Dynasties did not establish their capital in Nanjing like the historical trajectory, but was set up in Yangzhou, far away from the Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty. After the war in Ningqiangzhou, the Southern Ming regime, which had been paying attention to when Sichuan and the Qing Dynasty clashed, was in Ningqiangzhou. General Zuo Liangyu rushed to the north and stopped to watch in Xiangyang City.

The rest is the news of Sichuan and Ningqiang Prefecture's victory. The people were excited. Many people spontaneously started to have firecrackers. When some young and strong men heard about the war, they hurriedly asked if the army wanted to recruit people. The Sichuan army had good welfare and high status. Even beautiful girls were willing to marry soldiers. When they heard about the war, they were frightened. They were afraid that they would collect taxes and arrest strong men. But in Sichuan, when they heard about the war, the young and strong men were dependent on their relationships everywhere.

It was late autumn and the weather was cool. There were men wearing big jackets and showing their arms around the barracks. They wanted to be attracted to the army.

When the whole city was in a carnival, Lu Haoshan, as the governor of Sichuan, did not care about celebrating. He brought a group of confidants to welcome a special guest: Pubu, the indigenous leader from the Fan land, the former Shaerkewanhu House, and the new leader of the Fan land, after conquering the entire Fan land, in order to show his loyalty. Pubu handed over the affairs to his eldest son, and led 30,000 elite soldiers with two adult sons to come and obey the order at Lu Haoshan's request.

After unifying the foreign land, the huge army made Lu Haoshan afraid and made Lu Haoshan intent. These foreign people were unruly and unruly in nature. It was not easy to educate them, and it was not conducive to stability. So they simply transferred them to attack the Central Plains. The foreign people were fierce in nature and were not afraid of death. They were just in a match with the Qing Dynasty Tartars.

On that day, Lu Haoshan had such a plan.

"Small, please see the Governor." As soon as you saw Lu Haoshan, Pubu immediately saluted respectfully.

Lu Haoshan quickly helped him up and said, "Brother Pubu, I haven't seen you some days, but I didn't expect you to become stronger and stronger. Come on, please get up."

Pubu was a little grateful, but he didn't expect Lu Haoshan to give face so much, and now he is still commensurate with his brothers. Besides, he jumped from a small ten thousand households to a powerful king of foreign lands, but all rely on Lu Haoshan's support. Hearing this, he quickly introduced: "Brother Haoshan, these two are my sons, this is called Dubu, this is called Gesang. I will bring my son and subordinates with me and you will fight for you for your brother."

"See the Governor." Dob and Gesan hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"No, not bad, not bad," Lu Haoshan helped one up with one hand and said, "I didn't expect that in a flash, a few years have passed. The mud boys of the past have now become great men. They are really tiger fathers without dog sons. Don't be called Governor General. Your father and I are brothers. You should call me uncle in the future. Don't worry, follow me, and you will definitely not lose money."

The way of controlling people is to promote both hardness and softness, and to emphasize both kindness and power. Especially when dealing with these rebellious foreigners, the best way is to slowly influence them and integrate them into this big family. As for being called the governor or brother and uncle, it is just a nickname and cannot change the relationship between the primary and secondary. Lu Haoshan never cares about these false names.

Otherwise, he would have been king in Sichuan long ago.

Lu Haoshan's friendly performance was indeed effective. Seeing that Lu Haoshan was so easy to talk, Pubu and his two sons had less reserve and fear on their faces, and more sincerity and kindness in their eyes. Dobu and Gesang hurriedly thanked him. Pubu said with a serious look: "Brother Haoshan, I have brought all the elite subordinates. If you point me, I will beat me. If you frown half a brow, I will not be a man standing and urinating."

Pubu was also very good at Lu Haoshan's kindness and immediately expressed his opinion when he heard this.

To achieve such a status, neither of them is a fool. Since the two are not related by blood, they rely on common interests to maintain mutual relations. Lu Haoshan helped Pubu become the king of Fandi. Pubu fought over and led the soldiers to help. The interests of the two are mutually in harmony. If Lu Haoshan falls, it will not be beneficial to Pubu.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Lu Haoshan takes away the person, Pubu will be finished immediately.

"Have the soldiers settled?" Lu Haoshan asked with concern.

Pubu immediately responded: "Everyone is stationed outside the city. Mr. Li arranged the camp and food early, and sent people to send beautiful armor. The soldiers were very happy."

Everyone first met each other. After a while of greeting, at Lu Haoshan's instructions, all the idle people retreated, including Pubu's two sons, Dubu and Gesang. Because they were not qualified to participate in this level of meeting, only Lu Haoshan, Li Nian, Tang Qiang, Li Dingguo, and Pubu were left in the study.

Zhao Gongchang was guarding the foreign lands, guarding the southern gate of Sichuan, Chongqing, and Sun Xiong was stationed in Ningqiangzhou to confront the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Rui, a rising star in Sichuan, led his army to support him. Now there are only five people participating in the discussion.

Lu Haoshan coughed dryly, and after everyone calmed down, he said seriously: "They are all my own people, so those clichés are avoided. Let's get to the point, military advisor, tell me the current situation."

After being named, Li Nian did not swear and immediately stood up and said, "After the war in Ningqiangzhou, the non-aggression treaty between Sichuan and the Qing Dynasty no longer exists. Both sides can be said to have broken their faces. For now, since Chongzhen Coal Mountain committed suicide, although there are countless large and small forces, only three companies have truly become a climate. There are Qing Dynasty in the north, Nan Ming in the south, and Sichuan in the west. The others are either fence-bearing or not.

After pausing, Li Nian continued: "Although we fought well in Ningqiangzhou, the situation is not optimistic. Dorgon personally led his troops to station in Hanzhong, and Hong Chengchou led his troops to station Dingjunshan. The two echoed each other. The Qing Dynasty also mobilized troops to station in Tongguan, Qishan, Dasanguan, Jinsuoguan and other passes, which tightly tied up my doorsteps to Sichuan. The situation was not optimistic."

"What's the reaction of Nanming?" Lu Haoshan suddenly asked.

"According to our detailed report, I started a war with the Qing Dynasty in Sichuan, and the people of the Southern Ming Dynasty were pleased and encouraged. However, they had just experienced the Great Mercy case and the fake prince case. The political situation was unstable. Some advocated attack, some advocated unity, and some advocated sitting in the mountains to watch the tiger fight. There has not been a unified opinion yet. The only thing that is that there is movement is that the general Zuo Liangyu led heavy troops to station in Xiangyang, waiting for an opportunity to act. It is said that this move was impeached, but Zuo Liangyu held heavy troops and was unmoved."

Zuo Liangyu is not a good man. As a general, he dares to do whatever he wants to loot and plunder women. There is nothing he dares to do. In fact, the composition of the Southern Ming Dynasty is also very complicated. The loyal ministers, royal relatives, landlords and gentry in the previous dynasty, and speculators, had inconsistent beliefs and cliques, and was mixed with disputes between the cliques. It would be strange if they could work together.

Such a good opportunity is that even if they don’t form an alliance, they should take the opportunity to get a share of the pie, but they chose not to act. It seems that the Ming Dynasty’s aura was indeed exhausted.

Lu Haoshan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's put it aside in advance. Now let's discuss how to deal with the Qing Tartars."

"Sir" On formal occasions, Pubu did not dare to be called brothers anymore, and said seriously: "I am willing to lead 30,000 men to fight against the enemy and teach those arrogant Qing Tartars a lesson for the adults."

"Brother Pubu sat down first." Lu Haoshan was very satisfied with Pubu's statement, but he still said: "We don't have to worry about war. Now we have to take the charter first and agree on a set of effective plans."

"Yes," Pubu smirked and sat down quietly.

Li Dingguo said indifferently: "Sir, we have many soldiers and generals, and we have firearms. I am afraid that they will not succeed, so I will fight with them."

First, they shot down the fierce Daxi Army, then achieved an overwhelming victory in the Fan area, successfully conquering the entire Fan area. Recently, they defeated the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty in Ningqiang Prefecture. Now the Sichuan Army is full of energy, and it feels like I am invincible in the world.

"You can't fight hard," Tang Qiang immediately retorted: "You can't underestimate the Qing Tartars. The previous dynasty just despised him. Unexpectedly, after so many years of suppression, they have not been wiped out, but the more they suppressed, they are becoming stronger and stronger. They are originally a nation on the horse. Once the charge is fierce and unstoppable, the Ming Dynasty has many soldiers and generals, but the only one who can compete with them is the Ning Tieqi. Besides, they entered the Central Plains and implemented many policies to win people's hearts and bribed many people's hearts. The fate of the King of Breaking Li Zicheng will be clear. I'm afraid we can't have a good time to deal with us with the power of the Central Plains."

As Tang Qiang, who once stood on the first front to fight against the Qing Dynasty, knew very well about the terrible aspects of the Qing Dynasty. Seeing that Li Dingguo was a little despised by the Qing Dynasty, as an old senior, he immediately spoke up to wake up.
