The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 210 West Stream

A few days after Zhang Yang went to Mongolia, Niu Chao and Shang Chuang also led the newly formed Tie Yingwei to the Shaanxi Xingdu Division. The situation of Shaanxi Xingdu Division is not optimistic. The map of Shaanxi Xingdu Division is long and narrow, with Tatar in the north and Tatar in the south, that is, the Tatar Tumet Department in Qinghai. As well as the miscellaneous Gansi Xuanwei Division of the Qiang people, most of them are ethnic minorities, many of which are hostile to the Han people, and of course, a small number of them are close to the Han people.

[Shaanxi Xingdu Division, Gansu Town. It is not today's Shaanxi, but the part of Gansu, including more than a dozen guards, of which the westernmost is Suzhouwei and the easternmost is Zhuanglangwei.

When Niu Chao and Shang Chuang left, Liu Xia especially told them not to conquer ethnic minorities who are close to the Han people. If they agree, they can move them to the central and eastern regions with better geographical environment, so that they can live a better life, and then completely integrate into the Han people. Those who invade the Han people and are hostile to the Han people must not be soft! Of course, Liu Xia is also a great nationalist. For those ethnic minorities who are loyal to themselves, Liu Xia can also accept it. But for those who are hostile and disobedient, they must be attacked. Especially the Tatar.

The situation in Gansu Town has changed. Many ethnic minorities, especially some Qiang people who are hostile to the Han people, also take the opportunity to harass the local people, and the Tatars are even more unscrupulous. That is to say, the tasks of Niu Chao and Shang Chuang are very arduous.

"General, don't worry, we will definitely sweep Gansu!"

On the march, Niu Chao's promise to Liu Xia kept emerging in his mind to wipe out Gansu! Niu Chao clenched his fist tightly and must sweep down Gansu!

Hundreds of battles in Huangsha wear golden armor, and if you don't break Loulan, you won't return it!

Luoyang

"Report!"

"General, Huguang Urgent Report!"

After hearing this, Liu Xia immediately stood up from her seat, got up quickly and said, "What's wrong with Huguang?" Huguang is the territory of Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi. Have they begun to attack Henan? Or attack Nanming?

"To reply to the general, Wu Sangui called him the King of Chu in Wuchang before, but he just called him king. Now he is known as the State of Chu in Wuchang Prefecture, but he is not the emperor at present, but the founding of the country. At the same time, the next day, Shang Kexi also founded the country in Xiangyang, known as Xiangyang State. After saying that, the guard who came in left the house.

Liu Xia and Chen Liu both pondered. I don't know how long it took, Chen Liu got up and said, "General, the founding of the two families at the same time shows that they have completely separated from the Qing Dynasty and belong to an independent regime. In this way, Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi are likely to have established a full foundation in the local area and are likely to develop outward.

Liu Xia asked, "The military division may want to know who is the first person to fight if they send troops?"

Chen Liu casually said, "Nanming!"

"It is only Nanming. Looking at the forces around Wu Sangui, the west is Shang Kexi. At present, Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui are evenly matched. Moreover, the two have no deep hatred, so Wu Sangui will not attack Shang Kexi at the first time, unless Shang Kexi takes the initiative to attack Wu Sangui. To the north of Wu Sangui is us. We have sent the Wolf Xiao Brigade to Runing Mansion. If Wu Sangui is not stupid, then he will not choose to attack us first, and then the only thing left is Nanming in the east.

"The military strength of the Nanming government is already weak, and the ministers of the imperial court are even more crowded with each other, and the people live in water and fire. Military expenses are often embezzled. The soldiers are dissatisfied, and it is basically impossible to win the war. Nanming is the weakest of all the forces at present.

Liu Xia listened to Chen Liu's analysis and nodded slightly. Chen Liu went to the middle of the study, where there was a large table with a map on it. General, please see, this is Huguang. At present, Huguang is divided into east and west halves by Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi. Shang Kexi is in the west, Wu Sangui is in the east, Shang Kexi is in the west of Wu Sangui and Zhang Xianzhong, and Wu Sangui is bordered by Nanming. Neither Daxi nor Nanming is enough to deal with Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi's troops.

"Daxi...Li Dingguo!" Liu Xia suddenly whispered.

Among the main generals in the Nanming period, two of them were still relatively famous, one was Zheng Chenggong and the other was Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo's most famous record is that he killed Kong Youde and another prince of the Qing Dynasty, and then moved back to the defeat of the Ming Dynasty in the south. You can imagine how powerful Li Dingguo is, but at this time, Li Dingguo is just a child. Now that Zhang Xianzhong is not dead, Li Dingguo is naturally still being suppressed by Zhang Xianzhong.

"Li Dingguo? Who is Li Dingguo? Nowadays, Li Dingguo is not famous, and it is no wonder that Chen Liu does not know who Li Dingguo is.

Liu Xia shook her head and said, "It's just a general under Zhang Xianzhong. Let's continue to talk about the situation in Kyushu.

Nanjing, at this time, the whole Nanzhili fell into a tense atmosphere. Ma Shiying, Zhao Zhilong and others have been restless like ants on a hot pot.

Zhao Zhilong's face was full of anger and said, "Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi are really abominable. Isn't this throwing us Daming aside? Moreover, Wu Sangui is still stationed in Luzhou Prefecture. Isn't it obvious that he wants to attack the imperial court? What a thief! Anti-thief!"

Qian Qianyi sneered and said, "Not only did Wu Sangui pull his troops to Nanzhili, but Liu Xia's troops are also said to be stationed in Fengyang Mansion. Maybe Liu Xia will send an army to arrest us all. Humph." In the face of Qian Qianyi's cynicism, Zhao Zhilong was not in the mood to argue with him at this time. Now it is time for them to live and die. If Wu Sangui attacks, they can all imagine the broken city of Nanjing.

"Okay, don't say anything. I asked everyone to analyze how to resist foreign enemies, not their own quarrels. Ma Shiying was angry, and the others closed their mouths.

However, Qian Qianyi snorted coldly at this time and said, "It's better to send a beauty to Wu Sangui and let Wu Sangui withdraw from the army. Even if Wu Sangui's troops can't withdraw from the Luzhou government, he can keep him from attacking us. It is said that there is a pair of twin beauties in Lord Zhao's mansion. They are not only beautiful, but also first-class. If it is given to Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui may really pay attention to us when he is happy. Qian Qianyi is pure revenge. Zhao Zhilong did this before, but now it's his turn to Qian Qianyi.

"You..." Zhao Zhilong's face was purple, and his fingers pointed to Qian Qianyi, but Qian Qianyi picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, not caring about Zhao Zhilong's reaction at all.

Ma Shiying sighed heavily. Now the situation is really not what he wants to see, but now there is nothing he can do. Ma Shiying said, "Lord Zhao, in this case. I don't know what you think?"

"You guys! Elder Ge, you can't listen to Qian Qianyi. We all know that the last time we donated to Liu Xia's beauty, then Liu Xia accepted the beauty but had nothing to do. Maybe Wu Sangui is also ordinary, and he will not do anything if he receives our benefits. The subordinate feels that he must not be soft in front of Wu Sangui, otherwise Wu Sangui will definitely get an inch.

After listening to Zhao Zhilong's words, Ma Shiying stroked his beard with approval, but Qian Qianyi said, "Your Excellency, this Wu Sangui is different from Liu Xia. Liu Xia loves her own right more than beauty, and Wu Sangui is as long as the beauty doesn't want the people of the country. When Wu Sangui guarded the mountain customs, for one A woman actually surrendered to the Qing army. It can be imagined that the woman's status in Wu Sangui's heart. If we send Wu Sangui to the beauty, then Wu Sangui is really likely to retreat.

"Yes, it is said that Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Sangui's concubine, disappeared a few months ago." Ma Shiying suddenly remembered this and said. Looking at the faces of everyone, Ma Shiying said, "Do you know who did it?"

At this time, an old official said, "It is said that he was killed by a group of thieves in Hebei." Ma Shiying shook his head and said, "That's just an illusion. As far as I know, this is what Liu Xia did, and the matter in Hebei is also the purpose of covering up Liu Xia. I believe that since I can find out who did it, Wu Sangui can also find out who did it.

Qian Qianyi's eyes flashed, and he said with a treacherous smile, "I don't know what the adult wants? Could it be..." Ma Shiying stroked his beard and nodded, "We will be in trouble!"
