()One day in June of the 42nd year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, in a secret room in the magistrate of Jiezhou (Wudu) in Gongchang Prefecture, Gansu Province, Leng Yuanhua, who served as the magistrate of Jiezhou as a guerrilla general and a registered soldier, had a dignified expression looking at the letter in hand.

According to the edict issued by the Qing court on August 39th, [-]th year of Kangxi, Gongchang Mansion is a territory directly under the jurisdiction of Gansu Governor and Gansu Admiral Dan Dai.However, Dandai's power is limited, and he can only control Tongwei (Weiyuan), Longxi, Huining, Fuqiang (Gangu), Ningyuan (Wushan), Qinzhou (Tianshui) along the way from Anding (Dingxi) to Baoji Prefecture in Shaanxi. counties, as for other remote states and counties, he was unable to intervene and did not want to bear the burden, so he successively formed several smaller-scale separatist forces.

Leng Yuanhua, who was only on the defense of Jiezhou at the beginning, rose at this time. Relying on the power of his family, he was still somewhat brave, not only quickly controlled the city of Jiezhou, but also quickly captured Wen County and Qin County under Jiezhou. Lixian County, Chengxian County and other places under the prefecture, and in a fire annihilated another warlord who controlled Huizhou, Gongchang Prefecture, and Liangdang County under Huizhou, thus taking control of the six counties and becoming a veritable Gong Southern King.

However, although Leng Yuanhua is seeking to merge the above counties into one prefecture or Zhili prefecture, in fact his strength is only [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, let alone in Qingxia, it is in Gansu In front of Zhu Qiang, he was considered an inconspicuous one, but he was lucky enough to have Dandai blocking him in the north, so he was able to survive in the cracks.

Of course, as long as he can survive, as the emperor of the land, Leng Yuanhua's life is also extremely extravagant. Among other things, there are more than [-] wives, big and small, who were married by Ming media, although they haven't reached the point of three thousand beauties. But it takes more than half a month to sleep in rotation.

But even if the land is scraped three feet, it is still extremely difficult to maintain the thousands of troops in the Lengbu with the financial resources of the six counties, not to mention the fact that the natural disasters have taken turns in the past few years, so that the people in Gansu are in dire straits and the people are suffering to the extreme. From the beginning of the day, the various commanders in Gansu appointed by the Qing court have begun to fight each other in order to compete for more financial resources. It's just that these commanders are still worried about the Qing court's army in Shaanxi, so they didn't attack Dandai The jurisdiction of the land, and then let the insignificant Leng Yuanhua escape.

Rao is so, the human brain is also beaten into a dog's brain.It is not an exaggeration to say that thousands of miles in the red land, even in order to overwhelm the opponent, a group of general soldiers also lured the Mongols into Gansu. Among them, the Suzhou (Jiuquan) Dao and Suzhou general soldiers took refuge in the Zhungeer people, Xining Dao and Xining general soldiers contacted Qinghai Zashbatuhan, the three generals of Ningxia, Lanzhou, and Liangzhou are vying to please the Alxa Erut Mongols??????

The so-called bystanders are clear, facing this end-time scene, Leng Yuanhua has to think about his own future.As the saying goes, people who have no foresight must have immediate worries, so he ordered to sneak into Sichuan early in the morning to contact China.It was just because the Qing army still controlled the front line of Jiange, so the messengers he sent could only pass through the Tibetan area. It took more than a year to go back and forth.Fortunately, Huaxia's reply was finally delivered to him, allowing him to settle down and weigh it.

Leng Yuanhua silently read the reply letter from the Chinese court in the name of Tao Yuanzhi, the prefect of Chengdu, and handed it to his brother, Leng Yuande, the prefect of Huizhou. After reading it, Leng Yuande passed it on to his cousin, Lixian Leng Yuanping, the county magistrate, after reading it, Leng Yuanping gave it to Leng Yuanhua's cousin, Hao Gang, the county magistrate of Wen County. After the circle was over, the letter was returned to Leng Yuanhua, who took out a torch and incinerated it into ashes.

"I believe you have finished reading, tell me, how should we choose?" The response to Leng Yuanhua was silence, and Leng Yuanhua shook his head. "They're all from my own family. If there's anything you can't say, then, second child, you should say it first."

Leng Yuande smiled wryly: "Brother, in my opinion, Huaxia obviously doesn't value us, otherwise, why would they send us away with the titles of a county lord and two county counties? In this case, we might as well close the door It’s good to have a little rizi.”

"Bo Hua, I think your words are ill-considered." Hao Gang obviously disagreed with Leng Yuande's opinion. "Do you know that Ningxia Dao and Pingliang Dao fought over the ownership of Qingyang Mansion last month?"

In fact, Hao Gang's news has already lagged behind. In order to fight for Qingyang Mansion, not only the commanders of Ningxia and Pingliang towns were involved, but even the deputy general of Yan'an Road in northern Shaanxi sent troops to join the battle.

Leng Yuande replied disapprovingly: "Second cousin, you are worrying too much. One day there will be no war in the north, and Ningxia Road is still competing with Lanzhou Road for Pingchuan Hall and Jingluwei. What does it have to do with us if these guys fight to death? , as long as Dan Dai is still standing in front of us, who can stand in our way anymore."

"Are you really confused or fake confused?" Hao Gang pointed out with a serious expression. "How powerful is Ningxia Dao? Can he fight Pingliang Dao and use force with Lanzhou Dao? No, it's impossible, but why did Ningxia give up entanglement with Lanzhou? It's nothing more than an external force intervening. Look around Surroundings, who has the ability to intervene? Dandai? Impossible, he just wants to keep his own one-acre three-point land, and he will never easily shelter Lanzhou from the wind and rain."

"Zhifu means that Xining and Liangzhou made the move?" Huo Zhide narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. "No, according to the routine of long-distance and short-term attack, it is absolutely impossible for Xining and Liangzhou to support Lanzhou."

"Xining is backed by Zashbatu Khan, so of course he won't stand up for Lanzhou, but Liangzhou is different. He has the guy from Ganzhou watching behind him. Naturally, he doesn't want to see Lanzhou being wiped out." Leng Yuanping analyzed. "If Ningxia wins Lanzhou, it may still be dirty with Xining, but if Xining wins Lanzhou, it may not necessarily attack Ningxia first. Maybe it will attack Liangzhou with Ganzhou."

"Exactly." Hao Gang nodded. "That's why Suzhou persuaded Ningxia to fight with Liangzhou first, so that Lanzhou can avoid the situation of making enemies on both sides, and fight with Xining first, so that Liangzhou can solve the threat of Ganzhou first."

"It makes sense to hear that." Even so, new questions emerged from Leng Yuande's mouth. "Didn't it mean that both Ganzhou and Liangzhou have taken refuge in the Alashan Erut Mongols? The Mongolian master will let them kill each other, and in the end it will take advantage of the Suzhou one supported by Zhungeer? This is unlikely."

"The thinking of the Mongolians is different from ours. Our idea is that cooperation will benefit both. The Mongolians say that the winner takes all. Perhaps the Alxa people think that the combination of the two towns is the real way to block Suzhou." Leng Yuanhua He explained it casually, but then asked Hao Gang. "Zhifu's words are a bit far-fetched, it's better not to go around in circles, and speak plainly."

"Yes," Hao Gang replied, and then revealed the truth. "Other families may still be able to check each other, but once Pingliang and Ningxia find out the outcome, they will be the strongest town in Gansu." This is not bad. The geographical relationship is doomed. Both are huge threats. "Then what will the winner do? Should he quickly unify Gansu or stop there?"

Huo Zhide interjected: "That must be the rapid unification of Gansu, how could it be possible to stop there?"

"Unifying Gansu will face the pressure of the three Mongols, and the imperial court cannot shelter it from the wind and rain. In this case, what do you think they will do?" Hao Gang inferred. "Dandai's power is actually very weak, it's just that the tiger skin of the Qing court is there. If you first seize Gongchang Mansion, and then ask the court for the name of Gansu governor and admiral, do you think Kangxi will agree?" Without waiting for an answer, Hao Gang asserted himself. "As long as you don't seek refuge in Huaxia, Kangxi will definitely agree."

"Then our good days will come to an end." Leng Yuanhua nodded, then shook his head again. "How can the towns give the winner a chance? Maybe Dan Dai will intervene. Your argument may not be true."

"Brother, do you think our family is the only one contacting Huaxia?" Hao Gang asked rhetorically. "I don't think it's possible. I'm in a hurry. They play under the banner of Huaxia. Do you think the Huaxia court will give up this key chess piece?"

"It's impossible, even if Huaxia wants to rescue him, he can't fly to Jiange, unless??????"

"Brother is right, unless you cross the Dashan Road and pass through Jiezhou." Hao Gang touched his beard when he said this. "Brother, we are rare goods to live in. The Huaxia court will not reject us easily. One county lord and two county uncles are just the initial offer. Isn't there an alternative plan to divide the work overseas?"

Seeing that Leng Yuanhua was moved, Leng Yuande hurriedly dissuaded him: "What? Go to Nanyang, a land of smog, to be the so-called inner vassal. No, no, brother, we must not choose this, it is still true It would be better to ask for more titles from the Chinese court."

Hao Gang retorted mercilessly: "Second brother, you are confused. No matter how good the title is, it is just raising people like pigs. Think about how it feels to kill grass now. We can go back and live the past Is that kind of day?"

Leng Yuande retorted eloquently: "Zhifu, although your idea is good, I always feel that getting a title is the safest choice, and the so-called inner domain is not very reliable. Don't promise us now when you need it. When the Xia army is brought in, and the Huaxia court comes to cross the river and demolish the bridge, then we will be caught blind."

"I think what the second brother said is very reasonable." Huo Zhide echoed. "This matter needs to be implemented. It is best to obtain the imperial edict from Emperor Wucheng in advance, otherwise, it will not be practical."

Hao Gang pondered for a moment: "You can send someone to talk to Huaxia again, but the situation in the north is changing rapidly, we must hurry."

"Then it's settled." Leng Yuanhua made a final decision. "It's not too late. Let Leng Dong go to Chengdu again, and he must get a credible promise." Leng Yuanhua thought for a while and added. "I don't want to go to the pestilent land in the south. Since it's the new dynasty, let's keep our tails between our legs. Anyway, we've already made enough money??????"
