Tianqi has already contacted him, and there is no time to wait for his reply to arrive.
Cai Fuyi stayed in Yunyang and temporarily liaised with the court on his behalf.
He also personally sent Wang Hongyu to Zhushan County.
"Marquis Dingyuan, please be extremely careful in this campaign. You will be in charge of the development of the southwest in the future."
He held Wang Hongyu's hand and expressed his expectation from the bottom of his heart.
Being on the frontier for many years made him not despise military generals. After being summoned by Tianqi alone, he marveled at the ability of Marquis Dingyuan. When he saw Yunyang, who was about to rise in two months, he was convinced. After jointly completing the plan for the southwest, he was naturally looking forward to it.
Wang Hongyu thought for a while and thought about what else he needed to entrust. If he was not so confident, he would still be prepared to deploy troops from other places.
"Shaanxi Town and Baoding Town, the soldiers and horses in these two towns are relatively strong, and they are also slightly closer among the border towns. If the war is intense, you need to trouble the governor to contact them!"
"Okay, His Majesty's appointment should be coming soon, and they will definitely respond positively by then."
Plan for the worst case scenario.
The two verified the battle plan again:
Sichuan mainly attacks and Guizhou mainly defends.
The Hunhe Army entered Sichuan, the Zhenjun Army entered Guizhou, and the Yunnan-Guizhou Army came to Guizhou.
First destroy the She family, then fight the An family.
The First World War settled the southwest, and the chieftains from Yunnan and Guangxi moved to Sichuan and Guizhou.
After the land was changed and returned to the current state, the small peasants and military villages in the prefectures and counties each occupied three parts.
Emperor Tianqi will definitely support this plan.
Among the many civil servants in the imperial court, some certainly supported it, but some did not.
Naturally there is a conspiracy against them...
Zhushan County has assembled tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the supplies previously stored are just enough to feed the new mouths.
With the material support from Yunyang, Xiangyang, and Hanzhong, a large amount of grain will be transported.
Time still waits for no one. The soldiers and horses are in front eating up all the local food, while the people's food is waiting to be transported to fill their positions.
This is the most efficient way to march and resupply.
In just a few days, half of the more than 3,000 Hunhe troops have already marched and officially entered the forest area, and their leader is estimated to have arrived at Zhenping.
Thousands of people were building Juntun as they walked, making at least the section from Zhushan to Zhenping very accessible.
Wang Hongyu was going to march along the Duhe River, cross the edge of Shennongjia, and enter Sichuan via Zhenping.
Before boarding the bamboo raft, Cai Fuyi still brought people from the governor's office and the prefect's office to see him off.
Wang Hongyu said goodbye to everyone, because it would definitely be a long time before he came back.
Before leaving, I remembered one thing.
He said to Cai Fu: "Remember that Mr. Yuan Lu is from Kinmen, Fujian? That is a beautiful island, right?"
"Yes, I am from Kinmen Island."
Cai Fuyi saw that Wang Hongyu's expression was very serious, and felt that this was not just a casual chat. When he was about to leave, he talked about this, and there must be something important to discuss.
Is it a matter of maritime trade or exploration?
He knew Wang Hongyu's ambition and ability, and the coastal area of Fujian was a place where people frequently went to Southeast Asia. Sweet potatoes and other American crops were the first to be brought back from Luzon by Fujian, and they were also the first to try to promote their cultivation.
As someone who is familiar with the situation in Fujian, Huguang, Guizhou, Shanxi and other places, he can certainly see that there are many opportunities that can be exploited overseas.
What's more, Marquis Dingyuan is accompanied by foreign monks who are engaged in technology and business. Therefore, in the future, not only the southwest will return to the land and steadily develop Jiaozhi and Wusizang, but the southeast can also...
"Going further out to sea from Kinmen, the treasure island is in urgent need of development. If Mr. Yuan Lu has friends who are familiar with the treasure island, please remember to introduce it to the younger generation."
"Okay, I do have a friend who is familiar with me. I will contact the general and make arrangements."
Cai Fuyi was looking forward to it. It was very convenient to go to Treasure Island from Kinmen. At this time, Treasure Island needed to be developed by visionary people like Dingyuan Hou.
Farewell to Cai Fuyi, Wang Hongyu officially set off.
...carriage
She Chongming has already petitioned the imperial court to support Liaodong.
However, there are various signs that the imperial court is already on guard against him, instead of coveting his elite army to go to Liaodong to build slaves.
She Chongming sneered in response.
My son She Yin even didn’t want to act anymore.
It's just a show, any support for Liaodong is fake!
It's just an excuse to mobilize troops!
"Father, regardless of whether the imperial court agrees with it or not, we will go to Chongqing immediately, seize the throat of Sichuan, then engulf Sichuan, enter Huguang and seize the national granary!" Tuo Tuo
She Yin couldn't wait any longer. Having been to the capital, he knew that there were a lot of good things out there, so he could grab them openly after raising an army!
She Chongming was also looking forward to it, but he knew that he didn't have many troops: "The Sichuan governor can also deceive him and do a good job of bringing him and the Sichuan generals together, so that he can run rampant in Sichuan!"
The father and son had already made plans.
Pretending to be at odds with the Shuixian family, he then deceived the governor Xu Keqiu and found an opportunity to kill Xu Keqiu and Sichuan Civil and Military Affairs.
Xu Keqiu was quite weak and had always tried to appease and indulge the She family. Now when he heard that the She family was going to send troops to support the Liaodong war, he also helped to second the above proposal~
Tianqi, under Wang Hongyu's advice, would certainly not be fooled.
But this Xu Keqiu is worse than Yuan Yingtai. At this time, he blindly believes that the She family is an ally.
"Report, there is a letter from the Ministry of War, saying to be on guard against the She family and the An family's misdeeds."
Xu Keqiu received the order from the Ministry of War. Did he think the Ministry of War made a mistake?
The She family and the An family have a feud!
The An family must be causing trouble and find someone to falsely accuse the She family.
"Hyubokutu!"
A few days later, instructions from the cabinet came, asking him to prepare the defense in Sichuan and not rush to send troops to support Liaodong.
Xu Keqiu couldn't understand.
He was thinking of pulling up a huge reinforcement force, including the She family, to show off his achievements.
Did the cabinet lose its mind when it told itself not to support Liaodong?
Could it be that he was involved in a factional struggle and was being warned about meritorious service and promotion?
Do not listen!
A few days later, the eunuch of Dongchang came to deliver Tianqi's oral instructions.
"Cooperate with General Wang Hongyu to recruit Sichuan veterans and prepare to develop Sichuan's armaments."
What! Piggyback
Eunuchs and warriors, these are the people the little emperor uses!?
How can Xu Keqiu listen? He is a scholar, a noble scholar, and he listens to eunuchs, warriors and children? Isn't it a joke?
No wonder the Ministry of War and the Cabinet were confused. It turns out they were afraid of villains and foolish kings~
This time he directly violated the oral instructions, and instead sent someone to tell She Chongming that there was a villain in the court who was deceived and said bad things about him, but he asked him not to worry, the governor was there to protect him...
】
As soon as these words reached She Chongming, the She family quickly realized that the court was really on guard against them.
Take advantage of this idiot governor and raise an army quickly, otherwise this person will be dismissed from his post.
She Chongming contacted the bribed officials, and while stabilizing Xu Keqiu, he marched to Chongqing.
After Xu Keqiu heard about it, he felt something was wrong.
At this time, a group of officials in Sichuan were bribed, taking the opportunity to say that the She family was truly loyal and that they were taking the initiative to send troops to aid Liao.
There are also a group of officials who will flatter Governor Xu Keqiu and say this is a good thing or not a bad thing.
