"But sir, the human heart is not with us." Tang Qiang said helplessly.

Lu Haoshan knew that when most people expressed optimism about fighting with the Qing Dynasty, Tang Qiang was the most sober among so many people, thanks to his early years of active in Liaodong and many exchanges with the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, he was still called the Later Jin Dynasty at that time. He knew the terribleness of this nation. Although Sichuan had advanced weapons, he was still worried.

Others don’t understand this sense of crisis, but Lu Haoshan understood very well that there was a regime in his previous life who forced himself to defeat the enemy’s planes and cannons with millet and rifles, creating a miracle and creating a beautiful era. Speaking of the gap, the technological gap at that time was even larger than now, and now the Qing Dynasty also had cannons and muskets.

Lu Haoshan patted Tang Qiang on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid. I know what you are worried about. People's hearts are fickle. They can be used by the Qing Tartars, or by my Sichuan."

"Sir, those people have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, especially Hong Chengchou's betrayal, so many people have turned their attention. Otherwise, Li Zicheng, who has a million-strong army, would not have been defeated so quickly. Can they still use it for us?" Li Dingguo said a little disbelief.

Tang Qiang nodded and said, "Yes, sir, our reputation is not right. Otherwise, we will learn from Zuo Liangyu and others to own a royal family as the king. Then the King of Shu will be good. If you listen to the teachings and obedient, then you will have great power in your hands and do anything."

The King of Shu was still the King of Shu. Although his family wealth, fiefdom, and land were nine out of ten, Lu Haoshan did not take away his title of King of Shu. Even the King of Shu, which represents his identity, had always been allowed to live in him. The frightened King of Shu Zhu Zhipeng took the initiative to give it to Lu Haoshan several times and refused. Until now, Lu Haoshan's purpose of keeping the King of Shu but not using it, and keeping it but not killing it was the issue that the people secretly talked about most after talking about it.

"No, no, no, no," Lu Haoshan refused on the spot and said, "The situation is pretty good now, and there is no need to change any more."

Staying with the King of Shu was to add a small trump card to himself. It didn't have much purpose. The reason why he didn't kill him was that although the King of Shu was stingy, he was considered good among so many royal families and did not do those traitors and evil things.

Li Nian was also curious and hurriedly said, "What do you mean by sir?"

Lu Haoshan said indifferently: "The people have a scale in their hearts. Although they can't say the great truth, they know who is better or who is worse. If the royal family of the former Ming Dynasty was so useful, the former Ming Dynasty would not have perished. The people killed the Ming Dynasty officials to welcome Li Zicheng. That was because they were disappointed with the Ming Dynasty and placed their hopes on Li Zicheng. However, Li Zicheng was not good at fighting and was willing to enjoy themselves before the country was captured. Especially for a stolen money, he offended all the gentry in the world. Now he is still a scholar. Li Zicheng offended all the people in the world. Can he stand firm?"

After a brief pause, Lu Haoshan continued: "The people's hearts are biased towards the Qing Dynasty. That is because it adapts to the times and deliberately pleases the gentry. However, the Qing Dynasty was a small tribe under the Ming Dynasty after all, and these Tartars have been constantly invading the Ming Dynasty for many years. They have created countless bloody cases, which makes many people unable to get over it. If you have no choice to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, you will just take the light of the two. As long as we raise our arms and shout, the knowledgeable people in the world must follow the clouds. What's the difficulty to favor the people's hearts."

Li Nian nodded and said, "That's right. As long as we secretly collect the Qing Dynasty's troubled people in the Central Plains and spread these things out, it will definitely resonate with many people. As long as we punish the Qing Dynasty and fight a few big victories to strengthen the confidence of those fence-leading people, what's the difficulty of turning the people's hearts around?"

After saying that, a cruel smile appeared on Li Nian's lips, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty said that the Qing Dynasty was a small tribe. In fact, it was really right. The Qing Dynasty's population was only a few hundred thousand. It had many years of war, and it suffered heavy casualties. Hundreds of thousands of people and many foreign populations. After all, there were not many real bannermen. Take the Eight Banners as an example, it was organized. One banner was only 7,500, and the Eight Banners were only 60,000. From the battle of Shanhaiguan, it can be seen that the Qing Dynasty can even use the strength of "feeding" and almost all the men in the tribe were collected. If we follow Ran Min's killing order, as long as we open this mouth, we are afraid that the Qing Tartars will be more likely to enter and exit the customs."

The audience was shocked when the Hu Ling came out. Even Lu Haoshan couldn't help but take a breath. This was too cruel. When the Five Barbarians invaded China, nine out of ten families in China were empty, and they almost became extinct. The eight words "Take the Han as sheep, kill them to get food" in the killing of Hu Ling all the cruelty of the Hu people back then, and they were happy to kill people. They called the Han people two-legged sheep and used people as military rations. However, when the Hu Ling came out, they almost extinct the Hu people.

The situation is so similar now. In the past few years, the Qing Dynasty had repeatedly invaded the country, and several times they attacked the capital area, killing people and setting fires, looting people and animals. I don’t know how many bloody cases they committed. The people of the Central Plains hated him to the core. If someone raised his arms and shouted, it would not be an accident to recreate the scene of killing Hu Ling back then.

"Okay, we will also issue a killing order to prevent these Tartar dogs from coming and going." Tang Qiang said, clenching his fists.

I don’t know how many brothers were killed in battle, and how many atrocities and arrogances of the Qing Tartars were witnessed. When I saw that the Qing Dynasty was going to be unlucky, Tang Qiang was the first to applaud.

Lu Haoshan tapped the table and said, "That's right, the Qing Dynasty has a small population and has committed numerous evil deeds. I don't know how many people want to peel them and eat meat. As long as they are given a reason, a guarantee, an honor and a motivation, it will definitely be a nightmare for the Qing Dynasty."

"What do you mean by sir?" Tang Qiang vaguely noticed something and asked hurriedly after hearing this.

"It's very simple. Let them attack the Qing Tartars in the name of righteousness. As long as they bring the Qing Tartars to vote, we will accept them. In addition, we will give bounties based on the heads, create a theory of prosperity, and treat them as heroes. Do you think, are you still afraid that no one will do it?" Lu Haoshan said with a sneer.

There must be brave men under heavy rewards. As long as the bounty is high, birds die for food and people die for money, even if there is no grudge, there must be grudges. Not to mention, just seizing Zhang Xianzhong's huge spoils is enough to pay these bounties. Besides, Sichuan's prosperity has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. I don't know how many people want to surrender because they have no way to go. When the order to kill Qing is released, Dorgon will probably not sleep well.

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes present lit up...

As the storm was moving, Lu Haoshan was planning to deal with Sichuan in a intensive manner, Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty guarding Hanzhong, was also inexplicably anxious. Not only did he come from outside, but he also had a loud voice inside. The outside was the change of various forces, especially the Sichuan Army. When he learned that the Sichuan Governor Lu Haoshan mobilized 30,000 elite troops from the foreign land, Dorgon couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well.

The internal commotion was not because of fear of war. On the contrary, they expressed dissatisfaction with Dorgon's inaction. The so-called inaction was that after Dorgon led his army to guard Hanzhong, he remained silent, had no strategic deployment, and did not send troops to recover the lost Ningqiangzhou. All his opponents' request for war were rejected.

Even Dorgon’s brother Ajige couldn’t see through this.”

"Fourth brother, now we are strong and our horses are strong. Each flag is equipped with firearms collected from the Ming Dynasty. Even the artillery from Ningyuan and other cities has been transported secretly. There is no need to be afraid of a small Sichuan at all. But you still suppress us from moving. If the hunter doesn't shoot arrows, the fox under the arrow will run away." Ajige is Dorgon's brother, and he is the only one in the army who can talk to Dorgon like this.

Dorgon sat on the chair of the Grand Master, rubbed his somewhat swollen temples helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Twelfth Brother, I understand what you mean. Actually, I am more anxious than you. I haven't been idle recently and have been dealing with various matters."

"Stop talking nonsense to me," Ajige said with some dissatisfaction: "You have recently met those gentry-like ants, constantly winning over them, and generously giving them the banner. What's the use of accepting them, the weak?"

Recently, Dorgon won over the gentry from all over the Central Plains and brought those who surrendered to the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. Ajige disagreed with this. From his perspective, there was no need for this.

Dorgon smiled and said, "Give them a banner to make them work harder for us. Twelve Brother, our population is still too small. We are not enough to swallow this world of flowers by relying on our people alone. Another thing is that it is easy to defend the country and difficult to fight the country. Our bannermen can charge forward and let them get off the horse and manage it. There are really few people who are competent. It is definitely necessary to absorb talents. The most important thing is to use the Han people to manage the Han people more easily. They have stability in the rear and have not attacked Ningqiangzhou. In fact, I want to wait and add a batch of muskets and gunpowder, so that the victory will be greater."

After saying that, Dorgon said cautiously: "The most important thing is that Ningqiangzhou is a small city. The city walls are thin, and they are not stable and reliable. Even if they take them back, they are a waste of money. It is better to buy more time. As long as the rear is stable and the new firearm is developed, what's the terrible thing about a small Sichuan?"

These are all obvious reasons. Dorgon did not say what he felt uneasy, for fear of destroying his monumental morale.

"The fourteenth brother is right." Ajige nodded with admiration.

"The Twelve Gods are highly respected, so please persuade the soldiers more and let them calm down first."

Ajig laughed and agreed readily.

"Prince, Prince, it's not good." As soon as the two of them finished talking, an anxious voice suddenly appeared outside the door. As soon as the voice came down, the Dorgon brothers saw a hurried and pale-faced Fan Wencheng.

This senior scholar who is highly powerful and trusted by Dorgon did not have the usual calm and stable demeanor. He held a situation in his hand and ran in a little embarrassedly. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
