Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 130 Subtle Changes

Chongqing City was built at the confluence of two rivers, surrounded by water, forming two huge moats. If you want to capture Chongqing City, you must take Chaotianmen Wharf. From here, it is difficult for the officers and soldiers to resist.

And the red-clothed army has captured Nanping Pass, overlooking the entire Chongqing city from the other side of the Yangtze River. Under the mouth of the red-clothed cannon, as long as all the guns are fired, Chongqing can be razed to the ground within half an hour, but Zhu Gan wants a The complete Chongqing City serves as the bridgehead for Dechuan.

Not only was a large number of forts built on Nanping Pass, but also the cannons were repaired on the Nanshan Mountain. From the mouth of the cannons, the entire Chongqing city can be overlooked.

The red-clothed army's messenger has already arrived in the hands of the prefect of Chongqing. This prefect is also a master who eats and waits to die. He thought that there would be white soldiers sitting in the east of Sichuan, and Chongqing would be safe. I didn't expect the red-clothed army to send troops so suddenly. Forcibly cross the natural danger of Qutang Pass and go straight to Chongqing.

The navy rushed in greedily, was surrounded by red-clothed thieves, and then surrendered. He is really a person who is loyal to the emperor and serves the country, he gritted his teeth, even if the death battle in Chongqing is over, no matter what happens, once the red army wins the world, he can also have his place in the biographies of loyal officials.

But his wife and children are all in the city, so he really gritted his teeth. It is estimated that his first life will be lost. A tiger with sharp claws, under the threat of the muzzle and the cannon of the giant ship of the Red Army, Kaesong, the prefect of Chongqing Prefecture, surrendered.

The red-clothed army occupied Chongqing city without a single soldier, and then took Chongqing as their base camp, sent troops from the river, and approached Luzhou.

Zhu Gan was sitting in Chongqing, and had rejected several waves of invitations from the local squires. He sat alone in the magistrate's yamen, staring at the map of Sichuan on the wall in a daze. The map was presented by the people below. Many things are not clear about the mountains, rivers and place names.

I don't know how long it took before Zhu Qian's head hit his knee, and he woke up with a start. He looked at the time outside the house, rubbed his face, and suddenly became more energetic. Looking at the vein map of various places in Sichuan, his mind became more and more It is clear that if they want to occupy Sichuan, the biggest threat at present is Qin Liangyu's white soldiers.

If he revealed his identity, he might be able to recruit Qin Liangyu, but this would also expose his identity, which would not be conducive to his layout of the world. With the status of emperor, if he has great strength, no one in this world can stop his footsteps.

Therefore, those who are against it will definitely unite and kill their own threat in the cradle ahead of time. In view of this, it is not the time to expose their identities, so Qin Liangyu's white soldiers must fight hard against it and divide it. Make a win or lose.

Dealing with brave white soldiers who dared to fight hand-to-hand with the Jurchen Jiannu iron cavalry in the land of Sichuan, it was almost a long life for the old birthday star to hang himself. If he could win, it would be a miserable victory for both sides. It is simply not in the interests of the moment.

Then 'drag' and make the white soldiers exhausted, but at present, it seems that Qin Liangyu is not fooled at all. After learning that the prefect of Chongqing surrendered, she actually returned to the Shizhu Propaganda Department. The red-clothed army had a knife hanging over its head, and it might fall at any moment.

Zhu Gan's eyes were fixed on Kuizhou, maybe there was an opportunity to mobilize the white soldiers to make them exhausted, thinking about the dark line he had laid, he didn't know if it would bear fruit.And the general Zhu Qian left in Kuizhou was Yu Song. This guy was always joking and flattering himself, so he was flexible and changeable, and I wondered if he could take on important tasks.

His eyes are also closed and gone. It is impossible for him to concentrate all his attention on one place. He is a person who wants to compete in the world and reorganize rivers and mountains. He cannot do everything by himself. Since he has entrusted this matter to If you are a subordinate, you have to believe in his loyalty and ability.

"I've been hanging them out for a few days, and I don't know if I'm honest or not." Zhu Qian began to think about how to gain a foothold in the land of Bashu. He thought about sweeping up these landlords and squires to the end, and then replaced them with people he trusted, but then he discovered that A huge error has occurred.

Along the way, he would gather generals who can read and write, and then give them lectures in person, but as the number of red-clothed troops increased, the generals also showed embarrassment of mixed good and bad, polarized, not to mention the embarrassment of cultivating Send out enough internal affairs personnel.

If you just separate one side and develop it for decades, it will definitely be extremely powerful, but if you want to fight for hegemony, you are doomed to develop in war, and the speed at which generals die is several times faster than your own training speed, even a dozen times, this determines that if the Red Army wants to develop, they have to take advantage of the situation.

That means that Zhu Gan has to win over a group of people, divide a group of people, and eventually have to go back to the old path of all the winners of the hegemony.

Obviously, he was not ready to become a sophisticated politician. Facing the invitation of these local gentry, he failed to go to the banquet to appease them with a smile, but deliberately left them alone for a few days.

You must know that Zhu Qian traveled all the way, almost to a place, to steal the home of a rich man, and to be an enemy of the country gentry all over the world. The relationship between the two has reached the point of incompatible. I don't know why Zhu Gan didn't move for so long, these country gentlemen who couldn't leave, felt uneasy in their hearts, they wouldn't be polite to Zhu Gan at all, and they had already fled this ghost place with their family property.

Everyone gathered together once, and Zhu Gan didn't come after several polite invitations, which made the gentry in the country feel even more uneasy. Everyone gathered in Huanshu Tower, discussing why the red-clothed army had been so ambiguous.

The behind-the-scenes owner of the Huanshu Tower couldn't sit still today, and walked from behind the scenes to the front desk for a rare time. Everyone didn't expect that this Chongqing mansion would be ranked second, and no one would dare to rank first. The owner of the five-story Huanshu Tower would actually It is an old man who looks like an old farmer in the country.

Unremarkable, thrown in the crowd, it is estimated that he would not be able to tell who he is in the blink of an eye. If he is not sitting on the head with a dignified appearance, it is estimated that everyone will find it difficult to recognize him. He is dressed in coarse linen and has an ordinary appearance. The old farmer in the countryside and Tang Jing, a well-known Bazi boxer in Sichuan, got in touch.

"Mr. Tang, this time the red-clothed army is not good. In your opinion, how should we deal with it?" As the saying goes, the poor kiss the rich. These days, there are a few rich people who don't practice martial arts, and Baziquan has spread all over Sichuan. Tang Jingguang is just an old boxer with a lot of status, and there are not many disciples under him. The people here are all wealthy, and most of them almost want to practice martial arts. No matter how high or low their status is, it is not an exaggeration to call Tang Lao.

Tang Jing had a dry smile on his ravine-filled face, but his teeth were as white as snow, unusually bright, and he said with a smile: "The red-clothed army is surging, and it is very likely that they will occupy Bashu, Sichuan for a long time. The wealthy households are slow to move, so I guess they still don’t want to get stuck with the local forces. To use a saying in Jianghu, that is, the strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake. If we make a little trouble in it, it is estimated that the red army will be unable to move an inch in Sichuan. ..."

"Old Tang is right. A strong dragon doesn't overwhelm a local snake. What is a red-clothed army? It's not even a strong dragon! At most it's a reckless snake with four legs. We were afraid, so we obeyed him obediently, this is the way to train eagles!"

"Brother Chen said so, and Brother Yu also has some ideas. Although the red army has fought all the way to Sichuan, it has offended all the forces in the world. Now that we have entered Sichuan, if we easily surrender the red army , I am afraid that if the Red Clothes Army is wiped out in the future, we will also be implicated innocently!"

Everyone talked about it, and if you really obeyed that sentence, if you give you three points of color, you want to let it go, and if you give you a little sunshine, you want to be brilliant.

It just so happened that Zhu Gan led his soldiers and walked in quietly in ordinary clothes. There were so many people coming in and out of the Huanshu Building, no one noticed Zhu Gan's arrival, and they were still discussing loudly. Guaranteed that the red-clothed army would not touch them, after being confident, they became more and more presumptuous.

"Hmph! His red-clothed army wants to gain a foothold in Sichuan, and he is trying his best to win us over. He also wants to turn the world upside down. I propose to set up a Bashu Township Party. We all advance and retreat together. I recommend Mr. Tang as the leader. "

Tang Jing grinned, his snow-white teeth were unusually dazzling, and his expression became more and more unpredictable, and he quickly refused: "How can this be done, I am a martial artist and a businessman, I suggest recommending someone with a background. The master juren who is also famous and famous comes out, the master juren has a wider knowledge and can better seek benefits for our Shu party."

Everyone's eyes turned to Tang Jing's side, and everyone knew who he was talking about. This master Juren has a catchphrase called: "If you are poor, you have to be poor and have ambition, and you must have backbone when you study."
