Chapter 926: Mission to Sichuan (1)
The Daxi Army withdrew from Chengdu, but there were differences on who the Daxi Army should cooperate with.
Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Bai Wenxuan and others all felt that they should cooperate with Chongzhen and Duke of Chu, who represented the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty, because they were orthodox.
However, Sun Kewang raised an objection: "We must not cooperate with the tyrant emperor of Chongzhen! They recruited their adopted father back then, but they did not get a grain of food promised, so the adoptive father turned against him!"
Sun Kewang’s rebellion on Zhang Xianzhong’s surrender was the battle of the chariot. In fact, the so-called chariot victory was made by Chen Qiyu. Geographically, what kind of canyon can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people and besieged? Such a huge canyon is not famous and will "in by mistake". What about the guide? What about the local mountain people? The bandits can also be considered to be fighting in all directions, and there is not even the minimum investigation?
In fact, when Chen Qiyu saw that Zhang Xianzhong was powerful, he did not dare to hit Zhang Xianzhong at all, so he sent people to recruit people. However, for the sake of his appearance in the court, he reported to the court that Zhang Xianzhong had been surrounded and Zhang Xianzhong surrendered.
Although Zhang Xianzhong is powerful, he is still willing to accept the recruitment in his heart. Zhang Xianzhong also fought in Liaodong and was willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty to fight Jiannu.
Who knew that Chen Qiyu's coquettishness was blown away? Local officials thought that Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and surrendered. As a result, they did not take Zhang Xianzhong seriously and even killed the envoy sent by Zhang Xianzhong. This matter was considered by Zhang Xianzhong to be a breaking of the contract by the court, and after Zhang Xianzhong was recruited, he did not even get a grain of food! So Zhang Xianzhong was furious and rebelled again.
In fact, whether it was Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, they were originally considered people from the court. As long as the court had money, they could set foot on the battlefield in Liaodong. In the final analysis, it was all caused by money.
Although only a few people decided to cooperate with Zhu Youlang, Sun Kewang and Feng Shuangli and others were the eldest brother, and what he said had some truth. Li Dingguo could not suppress Sun Kewang at all, and Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi could not suppress Sun Kewang either. As a result, the two sides argued endlessly and had no unified opinion at all.
In the end, Sun Kewang led the army southward despite the opposition of the crowd and marched towards Kunming. As long as the Daxi Army arrives in Kunming, Zhu Youlang will naturally accept the Daxi Army and let the Daxi Army confront the Huai Army.
Li Guodong also realized the seriousness of the problem and decided to send someone to Sichuan.
Who should be sent to Sichuan? The best candidate should be Wang Quan, who is part-time managing the Dadewang business. Before, when Zhang Xianzhong was trapped in Hequ, Wang Quan took the Dadewang caravan to Hequ and sent grain to the peasant army, and exchanged gold, silver and treasures from Zhang Xianzhong. When the peasant army was trapped in Hequ, although there were a large amount of robbed gold, silver and treasures in his hands, gold, silver and treasures could not be eaten as food. Therefore, the food sent by the Dadewang business was simply a timely help for Zhang Xianzhong and others.
Later, he secretly cooperated with the Western Army several times, and the contacts were all Wang Quan. In fact, the current Jinyiwei Organization was also established by Wang Quan, so he was the best candidate when he went to Sichuan.
Li Guodong believed that as long as Wang Quan, an old acquaintance, went to Sichuan, Li Dingguo would definitely surrender to him.
But now, Wang Quan has been sent to Shaanxi to find Wu Sangui. On the one hand, he went to Shaanxi to deliver food to the Guanning Army, and on the other hand, he was also preparing to install more Jinyiwei in the Guanning Army to prepare for Wu Sangui's future anyway.
Since Wang Quan couldn't go to Sichuan, who would I send to Sichuan to convince Li Dingguo?
In order to win the Western Army for his own use, especially Li Dingguo, Bai Wen selected these powerful generals, Li Guodong decided to go to Sichuan in person to convince Li Dingguo and the others.
"What? Lord, you want to go to Xichuan in person? No, this is too risky!" Everyone dissuaded him when Li Guodong was going to Sichuan in person.
"How can I get a tiger's son if I don't enter the tiger's den? If I want to recruit the Daxi Army, I will only be the best person to come forward in person. Originally, Wang Quan was the best person to go to Sichuan, but he had other things, so he could only come forward in person. Don't worry, the Daxi Army and Li are also old acquaintances. If I go to Li Dingguo, there will definitely be no danger. As long as there are a group of elite troops protecting me halfway." Li Guodong said with a smile and twisting his beard.
Zhang Shuheng said: "Don't worry, Grandpa, please don't worry. Our Jinyiwei will be responsible for the safety of the road. There are experts and spies from our Jinyiwei along the way. Ordinary thieves will never approach you. If there are giant bandits, we will report to you in advance to let you avoid giant bandits."
"With Zhang Dusi's assistance, I will feel much more at ease. I will be back if I am fast or slower than two months. During my time in Guangdong, He Xing and Xiao Cao will be responsible for the external battles; Fang Mizhi and Chen Wozi will be responsible for the internal affairs. General He, General Xiao Cao, you two must remember that I am not here in the past two months and do not seek an attack. Just take down Foshan; Mizhi and Wozi, you two will take down Foshan Iron Industry during this period so that we can produce a large number of weapons!" Li Guodong said.
In foreign wars, He Xing and Cao Bianjiao are enough. They don’t ask them to take the initiative to attack, as long as they defend their territory, there is no problem at all. Li Guodong is also very relieved to hand it over to Fang Yizhi and Chen Zilong. Fang Yizhi is a literati and a famous scientist back then. He is proficient in investigating things and mathematics.
The personnel on the mission to Sichuan were arranged. Li Guodong took Han Dashan and Hao Yaoqi to protect him along the way, and Shen Yunying pretended to be a wife and Shan'er pretended to be a maid. These four people were all powerful martial arts, plus twenty personal soldiers, and the Jinyiwei who was elusive on the way. Li Guodong didn't worry about safety issues at all.
When talking about letting herself pretend to be a wife, Shen Yunying blushed. She felt a little shy and a little joy in her heart. But then she thought about it, she said again: "Duke, the Daxi Army Nai Nu killed her father's enemy. I am afraid that when I see them, I will not be able to help the impulse and do something that is not conducive to the Duke."
Li Guodong advised: "Miss Shen, although Zhang Xianzhong has a grudge against you, he has already sacrificed his country for us Han people. Zhang Xianzhong died in the battlefield. The will he left was to let the Daxi Army Alliance in the West to fight against the Qing Dynasty. From this point of view, we should all give up our past grudges and work together. Maybe you can't understand, but Jiannu is our main enemy."
Indeed, it was difficult for Shen Yunying to let go of this burden if she wanted to cooperate with the enemy who killed her father. But although she was a woman, she understood the righteousness. After spending time with Li Guodong, she also knew that national justice was greater than personal grudges.
"Okay, I agree. I am willing to protect the Duke of the State along the way, and I promise not to ruin the Duke of the State." Shen Yunying agreed.
Li Guodong held a banquet in the Duke's Mansion. Although Chen Yunying was a woman, she and Shan'er sat at the same table with a group of generous men, without any restraint.
After all, he was a beautiful girl, and all the soldiers toasted Chen Yunying. Chen Yunying also refused everyone, and drank it all in one go.
"Miss Chen is so drunk!" Cao Bianjiao, Hao Yaoqi, Wang Fuchen and other generals cheered.
Li Guodong walked to Chen Yunying and said softly: "Miss Chen, you should drink less, and you'll be over. We'll leave tomorrow morning."
"Mr. Grandpa, it's okay, I can still hold on." Chen Yunying didn't listen to the advice at all, and continued to toast to those vulgar men with big bowls.
"Dear uncles, thank you for your care. Chen will do this bowl first!" Chen Yunying once again picked up the wine bowl. Indeed, every man here can be Chen Yunying's uncle in terms of age. The oldest Cao Bianjiao is already in his forties, and the youngest Wang Fuchen is also thirty years old.
