Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

On the 16th day of the first lunar month of the 20th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Yang Songshan was about to lead his army and follow Shi Kefa back to the south.

Lu Mou specially called Yang Songshan to his mansion to give specific instructions.

The injured friend Li Yan was also present at that time.

It's time to tell Yang Songshan the original conspiracy between the two, otherwise this young and foolish young man would give himself an impulse and kill Li Chuang directly, which would seriously ruin the matter.

Don't think it's impossible. With 30,000 veterans equipped with all firearms and the cooperation of the remaining Ming troops in Jiangnan, this is entirely possible.

When they met, Lu Mou asked warmly: "General Yang, if I remember correctly, I am already twenty this year. Are you getting married?"

In order to find a good home for the sad maids in the palace, Lu Mou now works part-time as a matchmaker in addition to his official position as regent. When talking to subordinates, the first sentence is always this sentence, which has formed a format.

When Yang Songshan heard this, his head tightened, as if he was immediately put under a tight spell. This was another relapse of the regent's old habit of being a matchmaker.

The palace maid is a good woman. Not only has she received strict and complete instructions on court etiquette, but she can also read a lot of books in the inner study. She can be said to be a talented woman who is knowledgeable and sensible.

However, it is not good to have the regent's brother-in-law as his backer. If he marries her, he will be treated like an ancestor. The three obedience and four virtues of a woman must be placed on her husband. Hugang Dingzheng, don’t even think about it. Otherwise, next time we meet again, the regent will ask: "How are my girls living happily?" It will definitely make your hands and feet tremble with coldness. Once he knows that you have treated them lightly, he really dares to let Dongchang fan go to your butt. Driving nails.

Today's Dongchang fans always have nails and hammers stuck on their yellow belts, which makes everyone who sees them tremble.

When they heard that the regent was going to be a matchmaker again, the maids waiting on the side immediately became shy.

Yang Songshan quickly replied: "The mountains and rivers are broken, and I dare not fight for my family."

Lu Mou spoke earnestly and thoughtfully: "It is necessary for a man to put state affairs first, but without a small family, how can there be everyone. When the general is away, the family needs wives and concubines to act as filial piety. Only in this way can we have both loyalty and filial piety."

"The high priest in our family has passed away, and Prince Bu Lao misses him." Did you forget that your father killed him back then? Why are you pretending to be confused?

"As for the ancestral tablet, someone must always offer incense and worship it. Well, don't postpone it any longer. I've decided to marry you now. Xiaocui, Xiaohua, Xiaolan, come here."

The three palace maids came over, blushing with embarrassment.

Lu Mou pointed to the three women and said to Yang Songshan: "Now I will give you my three adopted sisters in marriage. I hope you and your wife will live happily together and grow old together."

Yang Songshan timidly asked: "Chen, can you not accept it?"

Lu Mou's eyes widened: "Do you want to die? Do I, the majestic regent, have no face?"

Yang Songshan shrank his neck: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Hey, isn't this right? Come on, avoid it. Let's get down to business."

With no one around, Lu Mou and Li Yan led Huoshuinan into the conspiracy and told the story together. Yang Songshan was shocked when he heard this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Ministry of War, for your guidance, otherwise I would have ruined the military affairs."

"Not only that, I also tell you the truth. I told the Ministry of History and War that after I conquered Shaanxi and Sichuan, I would take over Shandong and Henan. I was lying to him. When I take over Shaanxi, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will probably no longer be able to let me take it easy. If it develops, he will definitely take action against me. Even if he doesn't take action against me, I will take action against him. Therefore, Li Chuang will have to wait for me to deal with the Manchu Qing Dynasty before it is his turn. It’s a long time to hold on.”

Yang Songshan nodded: "I understand. My role is to guard the key points and appropriately restrain Li Chuang's development."

"Your understanding is correct. To this end, I can give you an order. When you think it is the most appropriate time, you can appropriately expand the army in Jiangnan and form the Southern Group Army. Remember, it is the most appropriate time to appropriately expand the army. This is Very critical."

"Weichen understands. But what about the ordnance?"

Li Yan interfaced: "Ordnance will be supplied by the Ministry of Industry, and we will go through the Henan secret passage. Therefore, you must snatch Hukou back now, firstly to prevent Li Chuang from completely occupying South Zhili and coordinate with Nanjing; secondly, to coordinate with the capital here. Ordnance supplies for you.”

In terms of strategy, it has to be Li Yan. He would occupy a Hukou and then unite with Nanjing and Yangzhou. Even if Li Chuang occupied the entire Jiangnan, it would never be a complete Jiangnan. At the same time, he could not build a capital nearby or further south. He could only choose Huguang to the west.

Yang Songshan nodded solemnly.

Lu Mou said: "Hukou seems to be alone behind enemy lines, but you have Henan to rely on. Although your Yangzhou is weak, you have Gao Jie to rely on.

I want to eliminate the four towns in Jiangbei, except Gao Jie. So when Gao Jie is in trouble, you have to help him appropriately and have a good relationship with him, you understand. "

"Wei Chen understands."

"For the Ministry of History and War, you have to be obedient, but for Qian Tonghe, you have to actively cooperate. This is the key."

Yang Songshan nodded, and then asked a key question: "Excuse me, Wei Chen, does Fengyang need me to send troops? If Jiangnan is in trouble, Wei Chen can save him or not."

Li Yan glared, why did you ask this embarrassing question to the regent. The prince’s plan has been explained so thoroughly, don’t you understand? As a minister, shouldn't we be brave and willing to take the blame for our superiors?
It's not that Yang Songshan doesn't understand, but that he must ask this question. I remember that my father, Yang Sichang, died of fear because Zhang Xianzhong killed King Xiangyang. Later, he was accused of being trapped in two vassals. This matter must be made clear in advance.

First, your father made the officials take the blame, and now you make Li Zicheng take the blame. It's natural for you father and son to let people take the blame. It's as smooth as a spontaneous abortion. We're afraid.

I can't achieve your goal and let me take the blame for you in the end. You have to give me an accurate answer.

Lu Mou didn't even think about it: "The Fengyang Ancestral Tomb has been destroyed, so what's the point of guarding it? Your loss has nothing to do with me."

Then he looked at the relieved Yang Songshan and said, "Okay, only you, me and Li Bingbu know about this conversation. You can take your three beautiful wives and concubines and set off."

Then he took the three girls who were crying and inseparable and said: "I often write back. If this guy treats your sisters lightly, I will break his legs for bullying the royal family."

The protector of Yangsong Mountain followed Shi Kefa and took Shouguang, Shandong Province, across the Shandong Peninsula and directly to Yangzhou. Along the way, none of Liu Fangliang dared to take a peep.

Entering Jiangnan, he first helped Gao Jie to block Li Chuang's desperate attack, relieved Gao Jie's mortal enemy, and formed a life-and-death relationship with Gao Jie. But he ignored Liu Zeqing who was behind Gao Jie.

Soon, Liu Ze asked Li Chuang to surrender. Yang Songshan immediately killed him in the name of revolt.

Leave one regiment in Yangzhou to resolve the crisis in Nanjing, and then rush directly into Hukou to gain a foothold in Jiangnan and realize the strategic expansion.

At the beginning of the 20th year of Chongzhen, the new Seventh Army, Eighth Army, and Ninth Army were reorganized and ready for expedition. (End of chapter)
