Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

The out-of-the-market variables that He Gan envisioned have actually appeared.

As early as March of each year, rice-grabbing turmoil broke out in various prefectures in Shaanxi and Gansu, which led to small-scale uprisings.

Speaking of which, due to the problem of soil erosion, Shaanxi and Gansu have always been a net inflow area of ​​grain in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and have always relied on the grain supply in central Sichuan. To supply the front lines of Zhili and Henan, coupled with the continuous drought in Narrow West and the repeated invasion of Gansu by foreign enemies, there was no savings. Therefore, after the new year, the price of rice in the two places soared uncontrollably.

The consequence of the soaring price of rice is that the people are destitute, and the unbearable people in Shaanxi-Gansu city have to rush to the rice shop to snatch the chance of survival in order to survive.Although the local government spared no effort to suppress, some places succeeded in suppressing, but some places backfired and aroused even greater resistance.

The folk customs in Gansu and Shaanxi have always been strong, and most of the generals of the peasant uprising army in the late Ming Dynasty came from the narrow west. Therefore, the Qing court has always been very vigilant and did not hesitate to leave troops in Shaanxi and Gansu to prepare for the suppression.However, the battle in central Sichuan was unfavorable, and a large number of Green Banner soldiers stationed in Shaanxi and Gansu were transferred southward. As a result, in the face of one after another resistance, the Qing army was devastated and exhausted.

What is even more frightening is that the civil unrest in Shaanxi and Gansu may escalate. The Hui people in the Hexi area also followed suit and set off a rebellion. The Qing government had to transfer troops from Shanxi to support them. is affected by this.

However, due to the barrier of the Qinling Mountains and the strict blockade of the high-level Qing army, the crisis in Shaanxi and Gansu has not yet affected the front line in central Sichuan, so why does the so-called strange move refer to something else??????

"Lord Hou, the envoys of both Qing and Xia countries have promised great benefits." In the courtroom of the prefect's yamen in Yazhou, Western Sichuan, a Confucian scholar in green clothes and a cap was speaking to Li Sijiu, who claimed to be the Marquis of Xining in the Great Ming Dynasty. "The students thought that Master Hou might be able to make up his mind."

Li Sijiu, who was wearing a brocade robe, asked sincerely: "Then Mr. Liao thinks, what should I do?"

> "

Li Sijiu's troops only had 10,000 elite soldiers, and they inevitably suffered losses when attacking Qiongzhou, Ya'an and other places. Although they took advantage of the half-year rest period to carefully select [-] to [-] supplementary soldiers from the [-]+ elderly and weak , But if you are conservative enough, you cannot make progress.

"To the west of Kham, the mountains are high and dangerous, and the aboriginal people have been entrenched for generations. If you want to seize the land and rule the people, firstly, it is not my race, and secondly, there are many difficulties." In Mr. Liao's view, although the Kham Chieftains and temples had no power to fight against Li Sijiu's tribe, but in the face of the vast plateau and the dreaded altitude sickness, Li's tribe, which did not have many cavalry, was unable to control and operate this area. "The Yi District in the south is also high in the mountains and forests, and the rivers run across it, which is not suitable for our Han people to live in. As for the northeast two sides." Mr. Liao paused. "Right now they are all under the control of the Qing court. Once the Qing army defeats the Xia army, we don't need to invade, but just block the roads and prevent food, tea, salt, cloth, ironware, etc. from entering Ya and Qiong, and our army will be defeated. "

"Then what you mean by sir is that you are going to let the Marquis surrender?"

Li Sijiu's tone contained a hint of inexplicable charm. Although Silda's emissary Xu Tashi Zhenya and Qiong, most of his troops were survivors of the thirteen anti-Qing families in eastern Sichuan, and they had connections with the Qing court. He didn't share the mortal hatred, so he couldn't promise it rashly; secondly, the credibility of the Qing court was quite questionable, and Li Sijiu didn't want to be treated as Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi's generation to be dismissed and killed.

"Students, how dare you let Lord Hou take such a big shame." Mr. Liao shook his head. "The student means Lianxia."

"Lianxia!" Li Sijiu's voice was like a frightened cat. "Choose chestnuts for Xia's army?"

><First><发>Not to mention the main force of the Qingxia army that is confronting each other, just say that the partial division led by Fu'an is enough for Li to drink a pot. In Xia's words, the situation that could have been peaceful in the first place might not exist immediately.

For those who are not familiar with him, seeing Li Sijiu doing this, he would dare to continue talking, but Mr. Liao knew that the more this was the case, the more the Dong Weng would be moved, so he continued to explain: "Of course there is no such thing as taking a chestnut from the fire." .”

Mr. Liao confided his thoughts: "Xia Fang's so-called conferring nobles does not seem to be as sincere as the Qing government's granting land, but it is possible to realize it. And even if the Marquis doesn't want to vote for Zheng for the time being, it's better to ask for a big land, right? .”

In Mr. Liao's opinion, Li Sijiu made his debut too late, and it was impossible for him to stand on the top of the mountain again between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Ting grasped his lifeline, even if he struggled hard, he had to do it again with Qing Ting.

Regarding what Mr. Liao said, Li Sijiu has been thinking about it for a long time. This is indeed the only way out for the Li Department. Even if Hou wants to take a gamble, he must first consider whether he is facing the enemy."

"What Hou Ye said is very true, but the students think that since Xia Fang wants to recruit us, he should not just talk about it, but also take practical actions." Mr. Liao felt relieved when he saw that the matter was settled. "The students thought that it might be possible to invite Xia Jun to advance northward from Yibin. It would be best if they could advance to Leshan. If it doesn't work, at least they can get a job."

"If Xia Jun can follow Mr.'s words, it's not a bad idea for me to gamble on this." Li Sijiu asked with emotion and anger because of his deep thoughts. "It's just empty talk, how can Xia Jun trust this Marquis, and thus leave Jiancheng and go north along the river?"

Mr. Liao bared his teeth and said, "The Xia army is in a critical situation. If you want to win, you have to gamble. As for whether Xia will be indecisive or not, Lord Hou, it is useless to keep the prison in your hands. It is better to send it to Xia as a hostage." The camp is ready."

"Inappropriate." Since Li Sijiu was a hero, he would naturally kill decisively, so he would not have a heart of loyalty, but he simply felt that Mr. Liao's response was hasty. "Using the emperor to command the princes, Jian Guo is young and ignorant, but it is the foundation of the prince's command of the whole army. How can he be easily taken as a hostage?" Li Sijiu sneered. "Besides, instead of sending it to the summer camp, it is better to send it to the Qing court. It will not only calm the heart of the Qing court, but also ask for a large amount of property and armaments, and also avoid polluting the hands of the Lord Xia. Sir, I think this is a three-for-one move. How is it going, this Marquis is also working hard, not being loyal to Lord Xia, he has already considered him so carefully, Lord Xia should not hesitate to reward you."

Regarding Li Sijiu's viciousness, Mr. Liao could only bow down: "Your Majesty has done his best, the students have been educated."

Li Sijiu nodded: "On behalf of the Marquis, you can have a good talk with Qingxia and Qing Xia. As for the final decision, don't spread it out, and wait for the Marquis to organize the soldiers and horses before we talk about it??????"

Upon receiving the news of Li Sijiu's return, Sang E was overjoyed. On the one hand, he allocated a large amount of military funds to appease Li Jun, and at the same time sent people to receive Zhu Yiqin and supervise Li Bu's hair.After the envoy reported that there was nothing wrong with Li's troops, and that Zhu Yiqin had been escorted to Shuangliu, Fu'an, who was relieved, led his troops south to Leshan to confront Xia's southern troops again.

However, as soon as the Fu'an Department's front foot went south, the Li Department once again snuffed out the tail of the money rat, and [-] selected soldiers set off from Qiongzhou to Chongqing via Dayi.The defenders of Chongqing were caught off guard and quickly captured the city for Li Bu.Li Bu, who had opened the road to the east, continued to advance east, and then captured Wenjiang and approached the outskirts of Chengdu.

Since Li Sijiu dispatched detour troops to cut off the traffic first, Chengdu has never heard of the fall of Chongqing and Wenjiang. It was not until Li's soldiers approached the city that they closed the five gates of Chengdu in shock.

At this time, the city wall of Chengdu is the remnant of the city wall of the Ming Dynasty, but the Jincheng Tangchi built by Liang Guogong Lanyu has become dilapidated under the scouring of time. It was built successively, but there are still collapsed and damaged places. In addition, the planned full city has not been built for a long time, which is convenient for Li, who does not have too many artillery.

Sang E, who fell into the trick, could only try to gather troops to defend the city, but faced with the vast defense line of "Two Miles on the Week" and the riots in the city caused by Li's top secret spies, Sang E, who only had [-] banner soldiers and some guards Had to abandon the big city and retreat to the middle city (Xiaocheng).It's just that the central city is too big for the strength of the Qing army. As a last resort, Sang'e can only continue to retreat to the Chengdu Gongyuan, which was rebuilt from the Shu Palace in the Ming Dynasty.

After Li Sijiu's troops entered Chengdu, they immediately recruited unemployed people and used the arsenal that the Qing army had no time to remove or destroy for equipment.On the one hand, Li Sijiu, who was suddenly generous, used the Qing army's own artillery to attack the Gongyuan, and on the other hand, deliberately let go of the officials in the city, passing the news of Chengdu's change of hands to the Qing army.

Sure enough, as Li Sijiu expected, Fu An was shocked when he got the news that Chengdu had fallen, and immediately withdrew his troops to rescue Chengdu.However, before Fu'an arrived in Chengdu, the Gong Yuan declared its fall, and Sang'e died with three thousand bannermen, and none of the bannermen in the city was spared.At this time, Xia Jun who was chasing him had already rushed all the way, and Fu An, who knew that there was nothing he could do, had to flee to Mianyang in a panic.

Leaving aside Li Sijiu's refusal of the Xia army from Chengdu later, which caused a series of conflicts between the two sides, but the news of the fall of Chengdu crushed the main force of the Qing army on the Nanchong line. Due to problems such as food supply, Silda could only He chose to retreat, but He Gan was waiting for this opportunity, how could he give up, so he caught up with the Qing army in Xichong.

Hilda had no choice but to fight He Gan, but the morale-depressed Qing army was unable to fight Xia's army at all, and fled in defeat. In the end, only three to 4000 people led by Hilda retreated to the Jiange, and the rest were wiped out.Seeing that the situation was not good, Fu An also fled to Guangyuan. Since then, the rule of the Qing court in Sichuan has been completely wiped out??????
