Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 695 Decided to Send Troops
Hauge actually conquered Heshuote Mongolia and wanted to attack Turpan. It seems that his current strategy is to develop westward.

This means that at least in the short term, Wang Yan's pressure on the western front will be greatly reduced. This is in line with his wishes, but it does not allow him to relax his vigilance.

If Hauge becomes stronger, he will definitely have the desire to invade the south. After all, compared with the desert in the west, the Central Plains is more suitable for people to live in, and it can arouse his ambitions.

Wang Yan thought for a while and said to Wu Jinxi: "Nowadays, Hauge still relies more on Han officials such as Meng Qiaofang, Wu Sangui, and Han Zhaoxuan, but once he conquers Heshuote, Turpan, and even the Yeerqiang Khanate, these foreign races will join in. , Maybe the situation will change. Lord Wu will send more people to contact Han Zhaoxuan and others in the near future, and take advantage of what these Hanchens are still saying, instigate Han Zhaoxuan and others to take advantage of Hauge's victory and persuade him to build a so-called emperor."

Hauge is now separatist in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and his conflicts are mainly with Dorgon. If Dorgon steps down or dies, Hauge may still reach a settlement with Shunzhi and Bumbutai, but if he claims Emperor, there is no turning back at all.

Wu Jinxi listened to Wang Yan's words, bowed and said: "Your Majesty knows, and will send someone to Xi'an soon." He paused, but then saluted: "Your Highness, I think that even if Hauge conquered Yarkand , the internal Hanchens may not lose their power. Nayerqiang is not like Mongolia, and he does not believe in the Yellow Sect. It is different from China and Jianyi. In comparison, the difference between China and Jianyi is smaller than Jianyi and Jianyi Regarding the differences in Yerkand, the lower officials think that Hauge still needs Hanchen to suppress Yerkand, Turpan and other foreign feudal vassals for him. However, the strength of Hauge’s internal Hanchen is too strong, which may not be a good thing for this dynasty.”

Many Han people have a complex of the world in their hearts, they are nostalgic for their homeland, and they care about their own identity, whether they are Chinese or barbarians.

Now Hauge is not strong enough, they only want to separate the regime now, but once the strength grows, the first people who instigate Hauge to fight for the world must be these Han people, just like Hong Chengchou, Feng Quan and others were the first to support Dorgon Attacking Hongguang Dynasty is the same, it is a psychology.

He can't be a minister of a small country of Yi and Di when he dies, so what face would he have to meet people in the ground?

Wang Yan understood Wu Jinxi's meaning, the current situation is inherently unpredictable, just like how harmonious he and Longwu were at the beginning, but now they have become like this. It is typical that they can share adversity and cannot share wealth, but he can't deny it just because of today. It was wrong to support Longwu at the beginning.

There is also the current King Lu, who has cooperated with him many times and gets along fairly well, but Wang Yan can foresee that once King Lu becomes more powerful, he will probably turn his back on him.

This is due to human nature. There are many people in the world who can share adversity, but few who can share wealth and honor. This has been the case since ancient times.

No matter what happens to the Hanchen inside Hauge, it is still worth him to unite now, after all, everyone wants to kill Dorgon first.

Wang Yan thought for a while, then nodded, "Gu knows about this matter. Lord Wu can do as Gu said first."

"The next official takes orders." Wu Jinxi took his seat after saluting.

Wang Yan surrendered his eyes to Yu Taichu again, and ordered: "The intelligence point in Xi'an must be established as soon as possible, and every move of the Hauge regime must be reported in time."

Yu Taichu stood up and replied: "No!"

Wang Yan waved his hand and straightened his body, "Just now, you all listened to Zhang Shilang's words. Now that Haoge is busy with the western expedition and has no time to look south, he thinks he can send troops. What do you think? What preparations should we make?"

When Wang Yan said that, he sent troops on purpose.

The officials present were whispering to each other for a while, but such an important matter, how could He Tengjiao be missing.

Everyone was still chatting, so he first said in support of Wang Yan, "I think this opportunity is rare, I can hit a dozen, and at least win a few counties." He paused, and then said: "After the establishment of the vassal, Your Highness will be with you." The imperial court is at odds, and the hearts of the people in various places have been in turmoil in the past few months. It is precisely through this battle that the stance of swearing against the Qing Dynasty and saving the country has not changed, and the local people quickly settled down."

What Wang Yan wanted to hear was how to fight, what preparations to make, what was the specific goal, whether the goal was to recover Nanjing, or to relieve the siege of the King of Lu. Different goals required different preparations.

He originally thought that why Teng Jiao said the first sentence was unnutritious, but when he said the latter, his realm was different.

Now that there is turmoil in the local area, many people are mostly afraid of internal conflict between Wang Yan and Longwu, just like Zuo Liangyu's rebellion in the east. If Wang Yan rebelled internally, Huguang, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Fujian are estimated to be in a pot of porridge, which is very likely Repeating the tragedy of the Hongguang Dynasty made the Manchus in the north cheaper, so people's hearts were very unstable.

Fighting this battle at this time can show to the local government that Wang Xiang is still Wang Xiang and is still the mainstay of the fight against the Qing Dynasty.Although he was at odds with the imperial court, what he did was still to resist the Qing Dynasty.

In this way, it is conducive to stabilizing people's hearts and buying time for him to cultivate his confidants and take root in the local area.

Wang Yan glanced approvingly at He Tengjiao, an old bureaucrat who is proficient in politics and has insight into people's hearts, and said solemnly: "Master He is right. This battle must not only be fought, but also beautifully fought."

After listening to Wang Yan's words, everyone chatted for a while.

Chen Bangyan stood up at this moment and said: "Your Highness, the place has been very turbulent recently, and the original plan for preparing for war has been affected. If you want to raise troops on a large scale, I am afraid it is not realistic."

Li Suiqiu also stood up and said: "Your Highness, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. If Your Highness wants to recover Nanjing, you have to give the officials at least half a year to prepare, so that you can prepare enough weapons, gunpowder, and food for the army!"

Both the think tank and the logistics staff were not in favor of recruiting soldiers, so Wang Yan turned his head to look at Dai Zhifan and asked, "How about the training of the newly recruited troops?"

Dai Zhifan was called by Wang Yan, got up quickly and replied: "His Royal Highness, the new recruits have been trained for more than half a year. Although they have some foundation before, the general thinks that at least a period of training is needed before he can take on the big responsibility."

Wang Yan frowned slightly, so his goal should not be set too high.

: "It seems that only one elite can be dispatched." Wang Yan pondered for a moment and asked, "How many troops can be supported by Wuchang's reserves?"

Li Suiqiu immediately replied: "Your Highness, the gunpowder and arrows in the warehouse can be used by 2 people to go through three large-scale battles. However, in a month or so, a batch of gunpowder and equipment will be shipped from Guangdong. A larger force can be dispatched!"

The two battles last year cost a lot of money. Later, new soldiers were recruited to train the government soldiers, and the warehouses were already exhausted. Many soldiers didn't even have armor or weapons.

In the past six months or so, Li Suiqiu has been able to accumulate enough reserves for 2 people to go out, which is already very good.

What can these 2 people do?Wang Yan was hesitating in his heart, but suddenly a general came outside the hall.
