Ming Zuo

Chapter 1073 Where to Go [Seeking Monthly Ticket]

[The law requires evidence.

What evidence, what verdict.

But politics is different.

Politics should be from the heart.

Whoever benefits the most is suspected.

Even if there is no evidence. 】

What Zuo Menggeng said back then was regarded as a standard by the Ministry of Intelligence.

Over the years, the Ministry of Intelligence has also acted according to this purpose.

After comprehensively considering the situation in Japan, the Ministry of Intelligence unanimously determined that the Tokugawa shogunate must have contributed to the actions of Amakusa Tokisada and others.

Because the Tokugawa shogunate has always been vigilant against the western daimyo and always wanted to weaken it.

What the Tokugawa shogunate lacked was a suitable reason.

The Shimabara uprising allowed the Tokugawa shogunate to accuse the western daimyo of crimes. No matter who it was, it would allow the Tokugawa shogunate to increase its influence in Kyushu.

At the same time, in order to quell the Shimabara uprising, the Tokugawa shogunate will definitely send more troops.

In this way, the power of Kyushu Island can be fundamentally changed.

The Tokugawa shogunate can also take this opportunity to completely suppress the various daimyos in the west and consolidate their rule.

Therefore, adhering to the instructions of the Ministry of Intelligence, Yuan Shengshou and others have been paying attention to looking for suspicious people beside Amakusa Tokisaki after they came to Dongying.

The appearance of Xia Guo will inevitably change the undercover agents of the shogunate.

Sure enough, Xiaomen Erweilang was caught by Yuan Shengshou and others when he secretly passed on the information.

The conspiracy of the Tokugawa shogunate was revealed, but it was Amakusa Tokisada who was hit the hardest.

Having been a Tiantong for so many years and enjoying countless praises, he was already somewhat intoxicated.I mistakenly think that I am really the chosen one, really wise, wise and omnipotent.

When he learned that his proud handwriting was being manipulated by someone behind it, he still didn't know anything about it.

This feeling really sucks.

"The world is like this. At any time, there are people who think they are extremely smart and think they can control everything. Such people don't know that when the development of the situation becomes the general trend, personal will is no longer important. The Tokugawa shogunate thinks it is smart, but I'm afraid the result may not be as they wished with our efforts."

Yuan Shengshou's persuasion brought Amakusa Shizhen out of the trough quickly.

"That's right. Anyone who wants to manipulate our fate will have to pay a painful price. They will never understand how terrible the people who fight for themselves are!"

A raging flame rekindled in Amakusa Tokisada's eyes.

From this moment on, the Shimabara Uprising began to be different.

The situation on Kyushu Island has also undergone a complete change.

The Shimabara Uprising, which was promoted by various forces with various purposes, has begun to get out of control.

Even Xia Guo made the mistake of belittling him.

When the center learns of this situation, the instruction given is to intervene appropriately.

The center does not think that the farmers and common people of Kyushu Island have enough power to challenge the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate and various daimyos.

The end of the Shimabara Uprising must have ended in failure.

The only benefit that Xia Guo can get from it is to take this opportunity to attack the Tokugawa shogunate and various daimyos, and prepare for the subsequent involvement in the affairs of Japan.

Based on this idea, apart from the Ministry of Intelligence, other departments have quickly turned to pay attention to the changes in the Central Plains.

When the consequences of this negligence occurred, no one knew what a monstrous wave it was.

When the Xia Kingdom and the Manchu Qing fought fiercely in North Korea, Daming finally got a rare respite.

The monarchs and ministers of Ming Dynasty were not idle, they seized this opportunity very well.Under the leadership of Yang Sichang, he concentrated all his strength and began to encircle and suppress the peasant armies from all walks of life.

Facts have proved that Daming is not dead, and there is still room for energy.

When they really dealt with the peasant army with all their heart, the balance of victory and defeat immediately began to tilt.

After Gao Yingxiang's death, Li Zicheng became the largest force in the rebel army, and therefore became the primary target of Ming Dynasty.

Gansu, the sheep withdrawal village in Gongchang Mansion.

The atmosphere in Li Zicheng's tribe, who had survived all battles, was not harmonious.

All kinds of thoughts began to flood, and began to affect the actions of the entire army.

Li Zicheng understands that internal problems must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the catastrophe will come soon.

"Hong Chengchou is chasing after us, we must disperse our actions. As long as we can get away, it counts. As long as we are still alive, there is hope."

In Gansu, Li Zicheng fought several fierce battles with Hong Chengchou.

Under Chongzhen's strict order, Hong Chengchou used all his strength and gathered generals from all walks of life to beat Li Zicheng who couldn't stand at all.

Although Li Zicheng bought a lot of muskets and artillery from Xia Guo successively, Hong Chengchou did not give up.

In order to defeat Li Zicheng, he spent more money, bought more muskets and cannons, and had more soldiers around him.

In addition, the vast and flat land in the northwest is very conducive to the maneuvering of cavalry.Therefore, whenever there is a battle, Hong Chengchou can gain the upper hand.

Fighting and fighting, Li Zicheng's troops became fewer and fewer, and the losses of various ministries were very serious, and they had reached the point where they were powerless to fight.

In view of this, Li Zicheng decided to play his true colors and adopt mobile combat methods, all the way east.

He planned to cross the Tao River, jump out of the encirclement of the officers and soldiers, and return to Sichuan.

As long as he arrives in Sichuan, which is rich but weak in the army, he can quickly recover and make a comeback.

However, this strategy has been opposed by many people.

What Li Zicheng didn't expect was that even Liang Yue stood opposite him this time.

"Sichuan must be a trap set by the government and the army. Hong Chengchou is resourceful, and he must know that we have only one way to go to Sichuan. But this time we fall into it again, and it will be very difficult to get out again."

Where there is opposition, there is support.

Liu Tichun had complicated eyes and a bad tone.

"Where else can I go if I don't go to Sichuan? This northwest land is deserted everywhere, and it has been beaten up and messed up long ago. Should I continue to stay here waiting to die?"

After a series of bloody battles, Li Zicheng's various troops lost troops and generals, and the morale of the army has reached the bottom.

Only Liang Yue's troops suffered heavy losses, but they were very united.

The most unacceptable thing for other generals is that the big guys are starting to run out of food, and they don't eat after the last meal.But among Liang Yue's troops, cooking smoke could always be seen.

Not only that, Liang Yue also helped them many times.

But when he asked him where the food came from, Liang Yue kept silent and didn't say anything at all.

Even Li Zicheng's inquiry is the same.

In the eyes of the various generals, this is obviously a manifestation of half-heartedness.

Especially now, Liang Yue actually strongly opposes Li Zicheng's decision-making, which inevitably makes many people wary of him.

Of course, Liang Yue noticed those malicious eyes.

This made him helpless except to smile wryly.

After all, among these old Qin people, he was an outsider after all.

No matter how hard he tried, no matter how much credit he made, he still couldn't get into the innermost circle.

In fact, in the previous battles, he clearly opposed several plans.

Because in his opinion, some battles should not be fought and cannot be won.

Later facts proved that his inference was completely correct.

However, his opinion was too weak, and he could only watch the big guy's soldiers and horses fight less and less, and he became more and more embarrassed.

If this continues, everyone will be finished.

Liang Yue knew that he couldn't wait any longer.

We must find a way to persuade Li Zicheng to return.
