The more brilliant Yangzhou’s past is, the more profound the shame it is now.

The more profound the history of Yangzhou is, the more severe the grief is at this moment.

Wan Jun killed Jingguan and dug a large pit on the spot, burying all the remains.

When reading history books, the tragic tragedy of Yangzhou is vividly revealed on paper. At this moment, I found that the history books have only been written in 10 or 100 times.

Wan Jun could no longer bear it and returned to Nanjing the next day.

When we returned to Nanjing, all the people had arrived in Nanjing.

Zhao Boyuan and Gui Dongliang have all gone south according to Wan Jun's instructions.

There are also the troops of Shang Zhaoxin and Zhao Boji.

There are also the Northern Route Army of Zhang Wuyang and Chen Xinmin.

There are also surrendered generals of the Shun Army who returned to the funeral of Li Zicheng.

Li Chengdong and Liu Zeqing, who were pursuing the Qing army, were stationed in Huainan and led their personal guards to retreat.

As time travelers, the historical prophetic nature of the troops has disappeared. According to the arrangement of the troops, everyone gathered in the magnificent hall of the Huagai Hall to discuss the next step of action.

After everyone sat down, Wanjun stood up and looked at everyone, including old acquaintances Zhao Boyuan, Cui Ziyi, Wang Lihui, He Chuyi, Gui Dongliang, Tian Chaoqun, surrendered generals Liu Tichun, Li Guo, Li Xin, Gao Yigong, Li Chengdong, Liu Zeqing and other surrendered generals of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Wan Jun said happily, "Since we headed south of Lucheng, in a blink of an eye, we have been discussing affairs in the Huagai Hall of Nanjing City, which is a joyful congratulation."

After a long war, Zhang Wuyang's temperament became more and more sophisticated. Now in the Chinese army, Zhang Wuyang can be regarded as a general who stands alone. At this time, he stood up and said, "Sir, go south, first fight in Xiangyang, and lead four divisions to defeat the Hu people in Anqing. It is really amazing, and you are mighty."

Everyone said together, "Majesty!"

Wan Jun waved his hand and said, "Victory depends on the unity of all of you, but the revolution has not been successful yet, and everyone still needs to work hard. We are discussing major events today, which is to decide the next strategy of the Chinese army. I won't say much about the scene. Let Ziyi first inform you of the current situation of the Chinese army."

After saying that, the guards unfolded a huge map, which is the territory of East Asia starting from the Kamchatka Peninsula in the east and ending at Central Asia in the west.

The map was modified by Wanjun on the map of the Ming Dynasty according to his memory. The scale was not accurate, and it was based on the expression techniques of the same period. The mountains were painted like artistic paintings, but they also looked very majestic.

The map has been pre-marked and many small red and blue flags are drawn.

Cui Ziyi pointed to the map and said, "You can see that these small red flags are our Chinese army. Here is Lucheng Danfeng, going to Wuchang, Jingxiang, south, Suzhou Huai'an, east, and then to Zhenjiang, Nanjing."

The first time everyone saw the schematic diagram of the sphere of influence in this intuitive way, it was very novel and moved their eyes according to the long instructions in Cui Ziyi's hand.

Cui Ziyi moved the long stick in his hand and then said, "These green flags are Hu people. This is Xuzhou. To the north is Shandong, Jingji, Liaodong, and Shanxi and Shaanxi."

A large green flag north of the Yellow River stretches all the way to the north of the map, looking very spectacular. Everyone took a breath unconsciously. The place occupied by the Hu people was so huge.

Zhang Wuyang said curiously, "Why are there black flags in the north of the green flag? This is the first time I know that there is such a big place in northeast Liaodong, and are there people in north of the Hu people?"

Cui Zi

Yidao, "The black flag is Russian. I am not familiar with these foreign tribes. Let the adults talk about it later."

Who is Russia specifically? Wan Jun and Cui Ziyi didn't say in detail. Everyone was curious, and Cui Ziyi couldn't explain it in detail.

Wan Jun said, "I will add international affairs later and let Ziyi talk about the surrounding situation first."

Cui Ziyi then pointed the long stick down at an orange flag, "These orange flags are the Ming Dynasty. From Yunnan to Fujian, most of the entire south of the Yangtze River is still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty."

"But that's it, Cui Ziyi pointed to the flag and said to everyone, "Look, these flags are written on them."

Sure enough, when everyone looked closely, they found that the flags on the left in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi all had the word "Gui" written on it.

The flags in Guangdong, Jiangxi and Hunan are written with the word "Tang".

To the east, there is a flag in Zhejiang with the word "Lu".

Many generals of the Chinese Army were white before and were not very clear about the branches of the Ming Dynasty. However, Li Chengdong and Liu Zeqing both understood what the different words meant by this colored flag.

Sure enough, Cui Ziyi continued to explain in detail, "The character Lu written on the east is Zhu Yihai, the character Lu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuzhe, the character Tang written on the middle is Zhu Yuzhe, and the character Gui Zhu Youlang of the west is."

Chen Bajiao said, "Aren't they all the Ming courts? What are they doing?"

Cui Ziyi waved at Chen Bajiao, "When Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian became emperor, King Lu Zhu Yihai refused to recognize the Longwu regime, and finally both sides turned against each other and became envoys to kill each other. Later, Zheng Zhilong secretly colluded with the Qing army, which could be regarded as the murderer who indirectly killed Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian. Now the Tang King Zhu Yuqian was exiled to be the younger brother of Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian, so how could Zheng Zhilong be tolerated? After the Qing army was defeated in Anqing, Zheng Zhilong submitted a letter to surrender to King Lu. The King of Lu not only did not pursue Zheng Zhilong's crime of surrendering to the Qing army, but instead appointed Zheng Zhilong as the Duke of Pinglu."

Zhang Wuyang said, "So although both families are holding the flag of the Ming Dynasty, they are hostile to each other and are incompatible with each other."

Cui Ziyi said, "Yes, the King of Gui in the West, Zhu Youlang, believes that according to the Ming inheritance system, he is the legal heir. King Lu and King Tang are both usurping and rebelling, so they are also very hostile to King Lu and King Tang."

Chen Bajiao finally understood and said, "Okay, the three brothers hated each other, what's the matter?"

Cui Ziyi said, "From the current situation, it is a foregone conclusion that the three kings of the Ming Dynasty have joined together. Now all parties are still called the governor of the country, but the three parties should soon be called emperors."

Everyone was a little silent for a moment. The situation in the world had reached such a chaotic level, and the vassals of the Ming Dynasty still had to fight for power and profit.

Cui Ziyi said, "It's good news for us. A messenger has come to Nanchang and is willing to surrender to our army."

Li Chengdong said, "Huang Daozhou and He Tengjiao in Nanchang?"

Cui Ziyi said, "He Tengjiao has gone to Changsha. There is no news yet. The surrender statement is about Yuan Jixian and Du Yinxi. Huang Daozhou is an old subordinate of Emperor Longwu. He is probably going to join the Tang Dynasty."

Li Chengdong said curiously, "In theory, these two people are also old subordinates of Emperor Longwu and are loyalists of the Ming Dynasty. Why didn't they surrender to the King of Tang?"

Cui Ziyi smiled and said, "There is still Zheng Zhilong between the King of Tang and Nanchang. They did not want to submit to King Lu, so they surrendered to our army. Moreover, when our army fought against the Hu people in Wuchang, they cooperated to attack Jiujiang. During the Anqing War, the Ming army in Nanchang dispatched a navy to help us. They knew that the Chinese army was

The hope of the Han people.”

Wan Jun said, "The Hu people withdrew from Jiangnan, and the Ming Dynasty would no longer have direct threats from the north. I think there will be internal strife soon. Our main energy is still on the Hu people."

Cui Ziyi said, "There is another very important thing, military pay!"

Zhang Wuyang said, "Yes, our army urgently needs to set military pay now. As far as I know, many soldiers have complained about this matter. In August, some soldiers in Chen Xinmin's army besieged the regiment command to ask for military pay."

He Chuyi said, "Yes, there is no salary now, and the soldiers are not interested in fighting. When recruiting soldiers, only hungry people who cannot survive are willing. However, the hungry people will solve the problem of eating and will soon change their mindset and start to consider the military salary."

Wan Jun said, "I know, I have been thinking about this matter. Soldiers fight for their lives. It is reasonable to ask for military pay. I plan to start from the first day of next month, all soldiers will pay two taels of silver a month, and according to the time they joined the Chinese army, they will pay up to three months of silver a month.

Zhao Boyuan said with a bitter face, "The training of the new army in Wuchang has basically ended. The entire army has nearly 300,000 people, and the monthly military salary is 600,000 taels. If you count the reissue, it will be more than one million taels of silver, hundreds of thousands of troops. Every month, people eat horses and chew money, plus the salary, it is simply astronomical. Nowadays, the expenditure of firearms in the Chinese army is getting bigger and bigger. The rocket launchers and guns and bullets required in every war are all silver."

As soon as the cannon fired, ten thousand taels of gold were suddenly understood in his heart, why Li Zicheng was chasing the salary in Beijing.

Wan Jun said, "Then half pay for it with silver, and the other half uses food coupons!"

Cui Ziyi said, "Now, you must have food coupons to buy food. Using food coupons is also a way, but we must also formulate our tax method as soon as possible?"

Wan Jun really couldn't figure it out. When he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he had to worry about money. Jiangnan had money, but he couldn't learn from Li Zicheng to pursue his salary.

Wan Jun remembered that red army, and for the sake of ideals and beliefs, he could even give up his life. "Li Youtian's political propaganda team is not good, where is this kid?"

Cui Ziyi said, "Xiangyang surrendered half a month ago, with about 30,000 people. Li Youtian identified the prisoners in Xiangyang."

Wan Jun said, "It took half a year to surrender. What else should I identify? The most sinful person was killed directly, and the others were all taken to do hard work. We are not short of soldiers now."

Cui Ziyi responded, and seeing that everyone stopped saying anything, Wan Jun said, "Our next step is to attack the capital of the capital in the north, or to manage the south of the Yangtze River?"

Zhang Wuyang said, "The Qing army retreated to Huaibei and would definitely attack Hebei first. The righteous people in Shandong area will not be able to attack the capital. At present, our strength is still insufficient. However, I heard that the Qing army in Shaanxi attacked Sichuan from Hanzhong, and Zhang Xianzhong was afraid that it would not take long. Once the Qing army pacified Shu and broke out of Kuimen along the river, I would face enemies from east, west, south and north, so it would be better to advance to Sichuan."

Chen Bajiao said, "I heard that the roads in Shu are difficult to move forward. It will take some time for the Qing army to pacify Sichuan. Our army can take advantage of the internal strife of the Ming Dynasty to pacify the entire south of the Yangtze River. In the future, the worst possible future can be forcing the river with the Hu people."

Wan Jun said, "The direction of Sichuan must be guarded. The country with a fertile land of thousands of miles of Tianfu in Shu cannot let the Hu people take the lead."

What Wan Jun did not say is that in history, the war against the Qing army in Sichuan has lasted for nearly twenty years. The population of Shu, which has been through war, was almost completely slaughtered by the Qing Dynasty. Later, they wanted to migrate the people from Huguang.
