nanming man

Chapter 348
This point mentioned by Li Yan attracted Gao Yihuan's attention. The fundamental reason why the Nanjing court wanted to unite with the captives to suppress the bandits was that they were deeply afraid of the Eastern captives.

If Nanjing felt that he was very powerful, then he would not have to use Donglu's hand to avenge Chongzhen. He would have rolled up his sleeves and beat Li Zicheng to death with old fists.

Another point is that the Nanjing court controlled by the gentry in the southeast did not have a strong willingness to make the Northern Expedition, which was also an important reason.

The economy in the Jiangnan area is developed, capital is sprouting, and there is a strong commercial atmosphere, and business is the most savvy. The southeastern gentry is unwilling to spend money to fight, thinking that it is not worthwhile to fight, and they have to pay for it. This is also an important reason.

Since Soochow, the south has been developed, and its economic development has gradually surpassed that of the north.From then on, attacking the south from the north must be a way to earn money, while attacking the north from the south is mostly a loss-making business.

Therefore, the willingness to fight in the north is often higher than that in the south. In the history of civil wars in the world, most of the civil wars have been dominated by the north and the south, while the south has rarely unified the north.

This situation is not easy to change. Unless it is a national war, regardless of the cost, who is willing to fight with the barefoot?

After listening to Li Yan's words, Gao Yihuan felt a little motivated.

He also has to make the southeast officials feel that it is not worthwhile to beat him, and he can use a little money to solve him. To make the southeast officials feel this way, first of all, his momentum must be scary enough, and secondly, he must not touch the core interests of the southeast officials. .

The core interests of the southeast officials and gentry were in the south of the Yangtze River, so Gao Yihuan's battle was very particular. He wanted to frighten the southeast officials and gentry, but not cause a fierce reaction from the southeast gentry.

This matter is very difficult. Not to mention how to control the speed, it is not easy to scare the Ming army. After all, the Huguang Ming army has several 10 people.

Gao Yihuan was thinking, but his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Gao Chengxun. He came back to his senses and couldn't help wondering, "What does Fang Jiayu have to report at this time?"

"Marshal, I don't know about this humble position." Gao Chengxun touched his nose.

Gao Yihuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Let him in."

Not long after, Fang Jiayu entered the living room, saluted and said: "Marshal, I just received the news from the commander from Huguang that He Tengjiao raised a hundred thousand troops and fought with Sun Kewang."

"What?" Gao Yihuan raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes.

He was worrying about how to deal with the more than [-] Ming troops in Huguang, but He Tengjiao and Zhang Xianzhong pinched each other, isn't this giving him a pillow?

For a moment Gao Yihuan was moved. Although he had never met Lao He, he had some understanding of Lao He's ability to cheat people. It was a great blessing in life to be able to fight Lao He.

At this time, Li Yan and Chen Mingxia, who were sitting on both sides, looked at each other, and their eyes were full of light, thinking that this might be an opportunity.

"Marshal, if we go south now, we will have another banner. It can be said that it is why Tengjiao helps in the battle, and then takes advantage of the situation to capture Jingzhou." Chen Mingxia immediately clasped his fists.

Is this a bit shameless?Gao Yihuan thought for a moment, but if he can win Jingzhou, his strength will be doubled immediately, and it will be no problem to pull 10 horses, and the strategic depth will increase instantly, which can break the game for him and add more options.

As early as two years ago, when Gao Yihuan talked with Gao Zurong, Gao Yihuan coveted Jingzhou.

Now the opportunity is in front of him, especially since he is in Zhongzhou, he can only rely on each opportunity to develop in the cracks. Naturally, he can't let go of this opportunity of snipe and clam fighting for the fisherman's benefit.

Gao Yihuan narrowed his eyes, "Vice Envoy Fang, you should notify Gao Yicheng immediately and ask him to pay close attention to the battle in Jingzhou."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Gao Chengxun again, and hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up, call all the generals and come to the festival hall to discuss matters."

"The humble job takes orders!" Gao Chengxun felt that something important was happening, he hurriedly cupped his fists, then turned and left.

~~~~~~
On May [-]th, Xiangcheng Prefecture, Gucheng County, which is the closest county to Yunyang Prefecture.

After Gao Yihuan occupied Xiangyang, the Yunyang Mansion was cut off from the Ming Dynasty, and was occupied by several large bandits, leaving it in a state of no owner.

Yunyang is adjacent to Xiangyang and Jingzhou, but neither Gao Yihuan nor Sun Kewang went to occupy Yunyang.

To a certain extent, Gao Yihuan and Sun Kewang are the same type of people. They don't like Li Zicheng's and Zhang Xianzhong's chaotic combat. They don't want to be bandits, but want to be princes with a stable territory and a solid foundation, and even fight for hegemony.

Both of them prefer farming and are willing to see a fixed income, so in their opinion, occupying Yunyang is a bit uneconomical.

In Yunyang, there are large mountains and dense forests, and the land is barren, but there are many refugees who escaped from the famine and the war.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was no Yunyang Mansion, and the Ming Dynasty established Yunyang Mansion in order to deal with refugees from Shaanxi, Henan, and Hubei.

The folk customs here are tough and unruly people are everywhere. Since the establishment of the mansion, the uprising has never stopped.

At first, the population of Yunyang was sparse, and the refugees could barely make a living by farming themselves, but later the population increased, and the barren land could not support so many people. If the government dared to levy taxes, it would show you every minute.

Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and his like like this kind of place the most. With a single call from the top, tens of thousands of people can be pulled out, and then they will go out to loot and destroy them.

Although there are hundreds of thousands more refugees, the strength will definitely increase dramatically, but if the problem of food is not resolved, Gao Yihuan can only loot for food, and he will follow Li Zicheng's old path.

Therefore, Gao Yihuan has never dared to get involved. His own elite soldiers have nothing to eat, so he dared to provoke hundreds of thousands of refugees.

Occupying this kind of place, you don't have to think about taxes, the garrison has to pay for it yourself, and you have to guard against looters at any time, so the Wang brothers asked Gao Yihuan to occupy it, but he didn't occupy it.

After Gao Yihuan learned that He Tengjiao was fighting with Sun Kewang, he immediately summoned all the generals and decided to march south to expand the territory of Wei Wujun.

It's just that Wei Jun had just fought a four-month-long battle with Duoduo, and all the troops participating in the battle were very tired, and some needed to be replenished, so the army had to rest for a period of time before it could recover its combat power.

Therefore, Gao Yihuan could only select a part of the troops, together with the old battalion soldiers who had stayed in southern Henan, to participate in this southern expedition.

These soldiers and horses add up to less than 2 people. It is not easy to frighten the Ming Dynasty. With the planting of sweet potatoes and corn, the initial success has been achieved. Gao Yihuan set his sights on Yunyang Yifu, preparing to control Xunyang , and use the refugees from Yunyang to expand their momentum.

This time, Gao Yihuan, in order to increase his reputation and scare He Tengjiao to death, has achieved the bad purpose of extortion, so he plans to learn from Li Zicheng once, and prepares to pull the refugees from Xunyang to go south to eat his mother and wear his mother.

Nanjing was squeamish, he wanted to be caressed, and he didn't want to live in partnership with him, so Gao Yihuan was ready to fight hard and force Nanming.
