Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 296 The First Anti-Bandit Alliance ([-])

"My lord, this is very kind. According to reports from our military spies, the bandits are being reorganized, their main force has been disbanded, and even the defense area has been re-planned. Now is a weak time. If you don't send troops, I am afraid the bandits will die." It's time to restore strength." Hu Guozhu said first.

Then Xia Guoxiang also persuaded him earnestly. "My lord, it is better for our army to follow the trend in today's world. Firstly, we are still subjects of Yongli in name. At this time, turning our backs on Nanning will damage the prestige of the lord. Moreover, our army lacks literati. We have the support of literati. If we leave Nanning now, I am afraid that the literati will betray us. This is not good for local governance and seeking support from the gentry. Secondly, the bandits are very xenophobic. They will not share Jiangnan equally with us. We are also their enemies If we wipe out the heroes in the south and attack us at that time, who can save us? Thirdly, if we form an alliance with bandits, then we will be surrounded by enemies, and the places of the four wars in northern Hunan and northern Jiangxi will be in danger."

Wang Pingfan on the side also nodded and said: "Father, my son also feels the same way. Allying with bandits is harmful but not beneficial. Although our army is self-reliant, the foundation of our rule is the gentry and landlords. If we leave their support, our army will also be separated." Fish of water."

Then, Xia Guoxiang hurriedly said: "Since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world. For our army, the hearts of the people are the loyalty of the gentry and landlords. This is very different from the gangsters!"

Hu Guozhu also said: "We can't learn the way of the bandits to make a fortune, and we can't learn at all. Only when we resolutely make the bandits our enemy, can we win the support of the gentry and landlords."

Xia Guoxiang, Wang Pingfan, Hu Guozhu and others talked to each other, making Wu Sangui keep getting closer to their opinions.

However, Guo Zhuangtu said hesitantly: "How can the bandit fight against millions of people? If the bandits attack with all their strength, then we will be in danger. When the time comes, we will fight to the death with the bandits. Aren't you picking chestnuts out of the fire for others?"

Hearing this, Xia Guoxiang laughed loudly, and said, "Old Guo, don't worry. Although the bandits are powerful, their pressure is not small."

After laughing, Xia Guoxiang continued to explain.

"Old Guo, take a look. To the north of the bandits are their Chen Chen Department, Shandong Sun Zhi Department, and Shanxi's Li Taiping Department. Now that the Tartars are attacking Shandong and Shanxi urgently, the financial and material resources of the bandit headquarters must support the north, otherwise The north has collapsed, and their headquarters will face the Tartars directly. Therefore, for the heroes in the south, the gangsters cannot show their full strength. Invisibly, the Tartars have also become our allies."

Because now the security group has become famous all over the world in one fell swoop, and a lot of information has been detected by other forces.Especially heroes such as Sun Zhi and Li Taiping have studied thoroughly, even the conflict between them and Qiu Tianxing has been detected.

"The regiment's headquarters is on the east side of the sea, and Zhu Chenggong's naval division is his strong point. Therefore, the Songjiang Mansion on the east side of the regiment's mansion and eastern Zhejiang will be under great pressure to defend the territory. The formation of the regiment's navy is a violation of Zhu Chenggong's strength." The taboo of success, Zhu Chenggong will not sit back and watch the bandit navy grow stronger, there must be a battle between the two."

"We are threatening Anqing in the west, and there are Jin Li and King Lu in the south. Jin Li and Geng Jimao depend on each other. Facing the strong pressure from the bandits, Geng Jimao naturally supports Jin Li with all his strength. From this point of view, the bandits are surrounded by all sides. All sides are enemies."

"There is also the Ye Su Department of the bandit Sichuan who offended the Daxi Army again. Ye Su killed Liu Wenxiu in spite of the world's disgrace. Although the headquarters of the Daxi Army and the bandits are separated by us and Xinshun, the Daxi Army will at least support us in righteousness and take an offensive against Sichuan. Let the Daxi Army, which was originally trapped in internal strife, reunite, and the bandits will also Bring on your own."

"Now only Xinshun and Shang Kexi are left. Xinshun was originally flanked by the bandit headquarters and Ye Su's department, and dared not move. But it is different now. The bandits are besieged by many heroes. Xinshun can only follow in righteousness. , Of course, you can also share the pie. As for Shang Kexi, it's hard to say, I guess we'll just sit and watch in the end, who told him that he can't have any contact with the bandits?"

Xia Guoxiang really deserves to be Wu Sangui's strategic talent. These words have thoroughly explained the general situation in the south, and Wu Sangui has figured it out in his heart.

But Xia Guoxiang changed the subject and continued.

"However, if troops are sent to attack the regiment bandits, the southern line of the regiment bandits in southern Zhejiang and Fujian is high in the mountains and densely forested. Jinli and the others mainly rely on the mountains for defense. It is us and Xinshun on the western front who will really fight hard. We will be under a lot of pressure at that time. If we can persuade Zhu Chenggong to send a navy to attack the Yangtze River estuary, then our pressure will be much less."

"My lord, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. I'd like to ask the lord to decide on the matter of Lian Bandit or Lian Ming."

After Xia Guoxiang finished speaking, Hu Guozhu, Wang Pingfan, Guo Zhuangtu and others looked at Wu Sangui eagerly, waiting for his final decision.

This is a big matter, and Wu Sangui hesitated for a while. This is the third major decision in his life.It was the first time in Shanhaiguan, facing Dashun, Qianming, and the Tartars, Wu Sangui chose the Tartars after careful consideration.The second time in Changsha, when the situation in the south changed, Wu Sangui resolutely abandoned the Tartars and returned to the embrace of Ming Dynasty.This is the third time now, the Tartars are now thousands of miles away, and it is the bandits who have replaced the Tartars.The first time Wu Sangui won the bet, he avoided the fate of destruction.The second time, Wu Sangui also won the bet, and he became a prince.What about the third time?

This is not an ordinary gamble, but a gamble on the fate of the whole family with his wealth and life, and it is still uniting the weak against the strong. At this moment, Wu Sangui began to hesitate.

At this moment, Xia Guoxiang dropped another blockbuster, which shocked Wu Sangui who was hesitating.

"May I ask what the prince's final ambition is?"

This sentence woke up Wu Sangui completely. Wu Sangui was a smart person, so he immediately understood what Xia Guoxiang meant.

The United Security Corps doesn't say it can get benefits, even if it gets benefits, it will always be under the security team's wings. When the heroes of the south are wiped out, I am afraid that their own end will not be good. This is not in Wu Sangui's interest.Wu Sangui is also an ambitious person, but his grandpa Hachi was born as a slave, but his descendants have half of the world, and the old Zhu family's Taizu is even a refugee beggar monk, but he has more than two hundred years of history.And my family is from Liaodong generals, isn't it a hundred times more noble than their status before their rise?Now the world is in chaos, heroes and heroes rise together, just like another end of the Yuan Dynasty.This is the time when those who are willing to turn their families into countries and divide the world, how can they easily miss it?

A man eats if he can't live with Jiuding, and cooks when he is dead.In the end, Wu Sangui clenched his teeth, each word seemed to come out from between his teeth.

"Then Lian Ming, but first, please ask His Majesty to order Zhu Chenggong to send troops to the mouth of the Yangtze River and attack Nanjing upstream."
