After the end of the spring plowing, the Ming army in eastern Sichuan resumed its attack, but this time the main force of the attack was not the guards under Zhu Da's command, but the various families in eastern Sichuan who wanted to expand their territory.The update is the fastest. If the force is combined, it will be strong, and if the force is divided, it will be weak. The Ming army cannot be condensed into one rope, and the momentum of natural attacks cannot be sharp.

However, the frenzy of the Ming army also caused trouble for the Qing army to rescue. The Qing army, unable to turn the tide of the battle with a single blow, could only resort to a small number of multi-strand rescue methods to rescue the fortresses in various places when the Zheng army on the southern line was watching. It turned into a war of attrition. During this period, Zhu Da, who was still waiting for the right time, surrounded the spot twice for reinforcements, and wiped out nearly [-] green battalion soldiers.

Because the hoarded military rations were limited, the Ming army's offensive could not last long, and the ineffective siege was forced to stop in just two months.After this round, the Ming army lost about [-] people, captured three county towns, and caused a loss of about [-] for the green battalion.Although the results of the battle are not great, if this situation is allowed to continue, the rule of the Qing army in Sichuan will come to an end.

What's even more hateful is that Zheng Jun spent all his time watching the two tigers vying for food. Once the Ming army became powerful, he would not care about it. More and more erosion.Under such circumstances, Sukhatu, adhering to Kangxi's will, proposed in Xi County that the two sides join forces to eliminate the Ming army and divide Sichuan equally.

"Equally divide Sichuan? What's the way to divide equally." Zheng Fan, on behalf of Tian Xiangban, looked at Sukhatu with a malicious look. "Now the land in the Central Sichuan Plain is in your hands. If it is divided equally, how much will it be distributed to the vassal?"

Su Kehatu was taken aback. He originally thought that Zheng Fan would use the excuse that Zhu Da's tribe was also a Han, a Ming army, and an anti-Qing force as an excuse to bargain. While feeling optimistic about the formation of the coalition, I also feel heavy pressure.

That's right, the essence of Sichuan lies in the Chengdu Plain. Only by ensuring that the Chengdu Plain is in hand can the Qing army have the capital to gain a foothold in Sichuan and support part of the finance and taxation to the direction of Gansu and Shaanxi.However, the Qing court not only wanted to keep the Chengdu Plain, but also wanted to occupy the front line of eastern Sichuan. It must be known that the terrain of the plain was not conducive to attack and defense. Only by blocking the exit of the Chuanjiang River could it be ensured that the Zheng army would not come continuously from Huguang.But in this way, how can it satisfy Zheng Fan's appetite.

"Xuzhou Prefecture (governing Yibin), Jiading Fu (governing Leshan), Luzhou Zhili Prefecture, Yongning Xuanfu Division (governing Xuyong), Jianchangwei (governing Xichang), Youyang Xuanwei Division, Shizhu Xuanwei Division. "Seeing Tian Xiangban's disdainful expression, Su Kehatu became more and more confident, and at the end, he simply asked. "Where do you want the prefecture?"

"Chongqing Mansion, Kuizhou Mansion, Yazhou Mansion (Governing Ya'an), Zhongzhou Zhili Prefecture, and Shunqing Mansion." Tian Xiangban said in one breath. "In addition to what you just said, Mr. Su, the rest of the clan will not be taken."

One good word is not to be greedy, yes, most of the places that Tianxiang Office asks for are mountainous areas, even Xuzhou, Luzhou, Jiading and other places are far inferior to Chengdu, Mianzhou (governing Mianyang), Zizhou (governing Zizhong), etc. in the Qing occupation area. The land is rich.But the problem is that the Yazhou government is now in the hands of the Qing court, and it has a condescending trend towards Chengdu, and Jiading is also in the hands of the Qing side. It has always been the place where the three rivers converge, and the situation is also very critical. In the hands, the two families worked together to clarify that there was no reason why the Qing court should label the territory under its own control without receiving an inch of income.

For this reason, Sukhatu also sneered: "It turns out that you have no sincerity to help suppress the bandits in eastern Sichuan."

Su Kehatu stared at Tian Xiangban: "The Eastern Sichuan Bandits keep saying that they want to be on the side of the Qing Dynasty, and now they even respect Zhu Da as the supervisor of the country. Is it human?"

"It speaks to the hearts of the people in the country. In fact, I still have to thank you." Tian Xiangban responded with a half-hearted smile. "If you Manchu hadn't killed all the spineless readers, how could this clan manage people's hearts?" Looking at the flushed Sukhatu, Tian Xiangban continued. "So even if there are some who don't give up, this clan can do the same. King Xia has long said that power is better than justice, and justice is only within the range of cannons."

Su Kehatu stared at the other party dumbfounded: "Xia Wang is a Han, so he won't be troubled in the history of later generations."

"Don't bother you to think about my king." Tian Xiangban sat there as firmly as a mountain, not at all moved by Sukhatu's reaction. "As long as you sit firmly on the dragon chair, there will be people who will sing your praises. The Master also has something to say about the venerable." Tian Xiangban chuckled. "That's right, that's right, in fact, I don't need to be taught by the official, you are the teacher of this feudal clan, and you are obviously eating chaff, and insisting on saying that the world is prosperous, isn't it your dynasty!"

The ridicule made Sukhatu unable to sit still: "You have repeatedly mocked me, do you want to tear your face?"

Because Kangxi is not ready yet, Sukhatu is extremely afraid that the talks will break down, but negotiations are like this. Since Mr. Tian has repeatedly slandered my sage, there is nothing to talk about between you and me****"

"It's best not to talk about it." Tian Xiangban interrupted Sukhatu's words. "I just want to inform you that King Xia has issued an order. He thinks that the talks in Xixian County will not be of benefit to our vassal. He decided to suspend the talks. The two sides have to do it with real swords and guns to decide who is the destiny of China. Lord."

Isn't it because they couldn't reach an agreement on the Sichuan issue?How did it rise to a global war.

Seeing Tian Xiangban standing up and turning away, Sukhatu, who was a little at a loss, suddenly woke up, no, it must not just break up, so he stood up: "Master Tian, ​​please stay and talk if you have something to say*** *"

The so-called negotiating table is a continuation of the battlefield, and vice versa. The performance on the battlefield also provides weight for the dialogue on the negotiating table.No, following Zheng Fan's report on terminating the talks in Xixian County, which was sent to Beijing, a large number of Zheng Army Rangers began to appear in Xuzhou, Runing, Ruzhou, Chenzhou, and Yingzhou, and the Zheng Army in Huainan also sent a small group of troops across The Yellow River flooding area on both sides of the Huaihe River reported to Suzhou, Fuyang, Yingshang and other places, and even Shandong, that Zheng Jun's navy was spying on the land.

A series of reports made it impossible for Yinyi and the Manchu War Department to judge whether Zheng Jun's actions were spies before the large-scale Northern Expedition or to put pressure on the negotiating table. As a last resort, the Qing court had to fully strengthen its vigilance. Ministries in Henan, Huaibei, and Shandong began to enter a state of combat readiness, and the ongoing green battalion reform was forced to be shelved. More importantly, the stretched Qing court household department had to embezzle a lot of expenses to protect military expenses.

The state of alert lasted for a month. Zheng Jun not only did not come in a big way, but also restrained the scale of the rangers. However, considering that Zheng Jun might be a tactic to slow down the troops, the Qing army could not relax.But in this way, the Manchu household department could not hold on at first. Facing the money that was spent like flowing water, Fu Lun, a scholar of the Ministry of household management, and Ma Wu, a man of the household department (the younger brother of Ma Qi and Ma Sika) , Li Zhenyu, Qi Qi Fuque, Han Shang of the Ministry of Household Affairs, requested to restrain the military and calm down the place.

Considering that the summer and autumn harvests are approaching, Kangxi, who was afraid that the two incomes would be ruined by the war, personally interrogated Sukhatu, who was arrested and returned to Beijing because the negotiations broke down, and on the other hand, resisted the pressure of the Ministry of Household Affairs and asked the defense forces in various places to continue Take strict precautions.

"Hai Ni is indeed a bluff." After interrogating Sukhatu, Kangxi came to such a conclusion. "It's nothing more than failing to meet the other party's request on the Sichuan issue, and there was a verbal conflict, which is why we are in today's situation." Of course, Kangxi also understood that Zheng Kezang's suspense is also a strategy, at least consuming The huge military expenditure of the Qing court made the Qing court continue to be in a disadvantaged position in the war against Ming and Zheng, but he understood that he had no way to change, so he had no choice but to speak bluntly. "No fighting in June, no fighting in July, and even more so in August and September, so we can let the front line of Henan take a rest for the time being."

"Huang Ama is right." Yin Yin attached. "After August, the autumn air is high and clear, which is good for our army's riding and shooting, so the power of the sea counter firearms is greatly reduced. After September, the northern land will enter autumn and winter, and the weather will be cold. People in the south may not be able to get used to it. From this point of view, Hai Ni will indeed not fight."

Since the emperor and the princes of the Ministry of Management said that it was impossible to fight, the Ministry of War naturally immediately issued an order to let the Qing army in Henan rest, and the Ministry of Households was relieved.However, no one knew that Kangxi had actually bit the bullet to make such a judgment. In fact, Zheng Kezang might have considered the reason for the cold weather in the north, but he might not attack in August in order to fight the enemy for food.

"Maska, you should immediately re-arrange someone to go to the south. It's better to be a member of Sukhatu's subordinates who have met with the Zheng family." When Yinbi and his party retreated, Kangxi immediately recruited the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Minister. "The overall situation is so corrupted that I have no choice but to try my best to maintain this situation."

Tears filled Maska's eyes: "The emperor endured the humiliation for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, slave, slave ****"

"Okay." Of course, Kangxi knew that Maska was mostly acting for himself, but at the moment he was no longer interested in inviting names. After Gui Gong and Tan Ding entered their mu, they had completely lost the idea of ​​becoming the eternal sage. "What's the use of crying, if you don't do it yet."

"What about Sukhatu?"

"Although the handling was wrong this time, he still had some minor contributions before. Forget it, I will reward him with a fifth-rank wing collar in the Yamen of Dasang Ula." Kangxi pondered for a while and ordered. "Let him keep his mouth shut, otherwise the blessing will not be kept."

Ma Sika trembled all over, and immediately responded: "Cha!"
