Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 916
Peasant uprisings and riots are the most hated by all dynasties, and the Kingdom of Jin is no exception, especially in the areas controlled by the Kingdom of Jin. Shaanxi and Sichuan are the hardest-hit areas of cholera by bandits.

Wu Sangui confessed that he saw that the Ming army was gathering generals and would not tackle key problems for the time being, so he watched for a while and waved his subordinates to the pass.

On the way, Hu Guozhu let out a remorseful voice, "This Sun Kewang is really good at picking his time! If we had known this, before we entered Sichuan, we should try to communicate with him and jointly deal with Nanming."

Before Jin Guo entered Sichuan, it was not that he had not considered joining forces with the Western Army, but in the end it was nothing.

Wu Sangui shook his head, "If you want to unite with Sun Kewang, you have to give him benefits. At first, you thought you could easily eat Sichuan, so naturally you don't need to unite with Sun Thief. Besides, don't forget, our goal is to weaken the power of the Ming Dynasty, not To compete with the Ming Dynasty for a long time, Sichuan cannot be distributed to Sun Kewang, and we cannot go to Guizhou and let Dorgon sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. Zhang Ni died at the hands of the emperor, and the western thieves offended the wealthy gentry in Sichuan and Shu If it is clean, many ministers in the court will not agree with this proposal, and it is not possible to unite with a few words."

The Jin army is 20, [-] are in Guanzhong, and [-] are in Sichuan and Sichuan. The number of troops is not too many. Besides, Brother Hao's purpose is to gain military power through the war against Ming Dynasty. Radorgon is just an incidental thing, but he He didn't want to set fire to himself, and really shared the pressure for Dorgon, so the scale of the war must be controlled, and he would accept it as soon as it was good. He never thought about going to Guizhou, and his strength was not enough.

Hu Guozhu nodded, "That being said, we are here to fight against the Ming army, but the sun thief ran to occupy southern and western Sichuan. I really can't bear it in my heart."

The Jin army sent troops and made efforts, and finally offended the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that he didn't take advantage of it, and made a wedding dress for others, anyone would be angry.

"It's not just that you can't bear it, this king can't bear it either. If the news reaches the emperor's ears, I'm afraid the emperor will be furious." Wu Sangui said, "However, now is not the time to be angry. If the battle in eastern Sichuan is not fought well, we If the loss is too great, the thief may really take advantage of this advantage."

Now it seems that the Jin army can at most drive the Ming army to Chongqing, south of the Yangtze River. Before that, Brother Hao wanted to quickly occupy the whole of Sichuan, guard the dangerous points, and keep the Ming army out of Sichuan, resulting in the fact of occupying Sichuan. Dorgon, with grandson's longing in the southwest, certainly did not want to fight on the third front. Relatively speaking, the road to Sichuan was the most difficult and the most difficult to fight. The Ming Dynasty was very likely to endure it, acquiesced to the fact that the Jin army occupied Sichuan, and once again made a truce with the Jin Kingdom.

But right now, there is almost no suspense for the Ming army to keep Chongqing, and Jin Guo's plan to guard against the Ming army has been impossible to realize.

The Ming army had more than 5 people in Fotu Pass. After the war, the Jin army had to send at least 3 people to guard against the Chongqing Ming army, and another 2 people had to be sent to Wanxian to prevent the Chu Ming army from entering Sichuan. The mobile force is only 5 to [-] people. If the loss is too great, it is really impossible to compete with Sun Kewang for southern Sichuan after the Eastern Sichuan War.

Hu Guozhu was silent for a while, and hurriedly followed Wu Sangui, "I understand, now the main thing is to end the Eastern Sichuan War as soon as possible, so I will follow the prince's order and send someone to report the situation outside Fotu Pass to the emperor."

Wu Sangui nodded, "Go and do it immediately, and then order everyone to come to the king's tent to discuss matters related to guarding the customs."

Wu Sangui and his party walked down the wall while talking. After the drums of the Ming army sounded, the chief generals of each battalion also came out to the commander's tent.

After the death of Ying Xiong, the governor of Sichuan, the command system of the Ming army in Sichuan can be said to have collapsed.

At this time, reinforcements from all over the country gathered, and the command system became more scattered. The Five Zhongjun Army was directly under the central government. After Yuan Zongdi was trapped, Li Dingguo lost his command. Fan Yiheng was the governor of Sichuan and controlled the local troops in Sichuan. The troops from Jiangxi, and now reinforcements from Guizhou, as well as some chieftains from eastern Sichuan, formed a hodgepodge, and the ingredients were very complicated.

Originally, when these troops came, they would all be under the control of the governor of Sichuan, and they would follow Yuan Zongdi's order for the second time. But now, one of the highest officials of the Ming Dynasty in Sichuan has died and the other has been besieged, and the troops below don't know whose orders to listen to.

At this time, Li Dingguo and Zhang Xian were walking through the camp. Taifu Qin Liangyu saw that the various ministries were not subordinate to each other and the command was chaotic. He suggested that He Tengjiao take responsibility and unify the command as a bachelor before the order of the court came. Only then did today's gathering of generals take place.

Li Dingguo and the others first went to the tent of Fan Yiheng, governor of Sichuan, and then rushed to He Tengjiao's camp to participate in the discussion after all the generals from Sichuan had arrived.

The Zhenwu camp was set up on the west side of the Ming army's camp, and He Tengjiao's camp was in the southeast, and he had to pass through many barracks along the way.

Li Dingguo was wearing a pair of fine scale armor, a phoenix-winged helmet, red feathers on his head, and a big red cloak. He walked in the front with a sword. He passed several camps along the way. Fortress equipment, various tall ladders, columbine carts and other huge objects were erected one by one.

They first arrived at Fan Yiheng's camp, and then more than a dozen people followed Fan Yikui to the camp in the south.

The troops from Guizhou have also just arrived. In addition to the [-] Shence Army, many chieftains from Guizhou came to help. They were originally going to Annanwei to deal with Sun Kewang, but who knew that Sun Kewang turned around and went to southern Sichuan , they followed He Tengjiao to eastern Sichuan to participate in the rescue.

Everyone saw banners fluttering in the south, dark figures, and the sound of gongs and drums. Zhang Xianzhen explained to Fan Yiheng and Li Dingguo: "These are chieftains from eastern and southern Guizhou. They participated in the development of Guizhou by the imperial court. The mines, the iron mines in Guiyang, are all attended by chieftains, they are now bringing their own weapons and dry food, and they come to help in the battle, and it is said that more than 1 people have come.”

Fan Yiheng listened and said in a deep voice: "Guizhou has a small population. If the imperial court wants to develop Guizhou's mineral resources, it will inevitably need a large number of miners. The chieftain has a lot of people in his hands. Give them the profits. If the imperial court has miners, they can also maintain local stability. This method we Sichuan can learn from it."

With that said, the crowd had already arrived outside He Tengjiao's big tent. In front of the tent was a big banner with a long list of official names such as Grand Bachelor, Duke of E, Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, etc., showing He's unparalleled qualifications.

At this time, the second drum in the army had already sounded, Fan Yikui and others arrived first, everyone stood outside the tent and chatted, after a while, the generals from Guizhou also came over, and the Jiangxi generals came last.

After they introduced each other and talked for a while, Li Dingguo returned to Fan Yiheng's side, then entered the big tent together, and sat down in the tent according to the size of his official position.

At the end of the third drum, He Tengjiao in scarlet robe strode out from the screen behind the tent, followed by two young women, supporting an old woman, who was Grand Tutor Qin Liangyu.
