Southern Ming, my destiny is too abstract

Chapter 75 Single Draw Yongli
Zhu Cixuan underestimated the upper limit of the Ming Dynasty and overestimated the colonial rule of Manchuria.

The arrival of military advisor Jin Weixin, a civil official who had passed the imperial examination, solved Zhu Cixuan's confusion.

The common people in feudal China were not as ignorant as they were in the late Qing Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination system was prevalent, but it was actually brought closer to the people.

Even a farmer's son has the opportunity to study and become an official.

Compared with the Tang Dynasty's imperial examinations that selected aristocratic families, the Song Dynasty's imperial examinations selected landlords and poor families.

The imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty truly fell on the shoulders of the common people.

There were dozens of private schools throughout every county in the Ming Dynasty.

Each provincial capital had one or two official academies. In Yunnan, a border area of ​​the Ming Dynasty alone, there were sixty-six academies.

Moreover, the government academies were open to common people, village elders, ordinary people, and Buddhist monks. Not only could they enter the academy to listen to lectures, but they could even go into the halls to give lectures.

Regarding the popularity of novel storytelling.

Almost all the people in a town know the stories of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Yue Fei, and can recite a few words about their politics.

The captains and lieutenants in the army would even find scholars to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and The Biography of Wu Mu to them.

As Li Dingguo's military advisor, Jin Weixin often asked storytellers to tell stories to the soldiers of the Dashi Army to let them know about loyalty and righteousness.

It is normal to be able to recite "Man Jiang Hong".

When Wang Fuchen said he had never been to school, he really meant it.

But I still know a few hundred words.

When Wang Fuchen's first adoptive father, Wang Jinchao, chose his son from between two people, one who was knowledgeable and the other who was not, he chose the uneducated Wang Fuchen.

We still need to continue to expand private schools and academies in the future. Otherwise, with so many places in Southeast Asia, even if all the Nanyang Han people were taken, there would not be enough to manage them.

Zhu Cixuan touched the few whiskers growing on his chin and briefly glanced over the issue of the Dashi Army's literacy rate.

Continue to discuss with Jin Weixin how to advance next.

At this time, Ma Bao pushed open the curtain and came in with Ma Weixing, escorting a Qing army general.

"Your Highness, the thief general Yang Wu has been brought back."

Zhu Cixuan turned his head and looked at this rebel general of the Dashi Army who was as famous as Di Sanpin Sun Chongya.

[Linking Camp: When you use fire attacks, it will lead the enemy to misjudge.]

Apparently Wu Sangui was frightened by his burning of the entire camp.

He actually used Yang Wu as a cover and fled to Huarong Road in defeat.

In fact, in front of Hanlong Pass, Zhu Cixuan had no other preparations except for two or three thousand Hongsha soldiers sniping.

Most of his troops were left in Xingwei City, and Ma Ning's troops were taken over.

If Wu Sangui had really gathered 5,000 central troops and collected thousands of remnant troops along the way, he might have been able to break through the encirclement and return to Hanlong Pass.

As a feint, Yang Wu waited for Wu Sangui at the second wooden wall for two days, only to see Bai Wenxuan's army and the Hongsha soldiers all over the mountains.

He was immediately captured and brought to Xingwei City by the old Dashi army under his command, which mutinied.

After Guangchang Hou Gao Wengui, who had invaded Hongsha to rescue the emperor, died, Yang Wu annexed the remaining 800 elite cavalrymen of the former.

This time, they were the ones who took action.

Jin Weixin glanced at Yang Wu, who remained silent, and whispered, "Your Highness, do you want to send him to Ava City?"

"After the Emperor has seen it, I will display the head to the public."

Yang Wu once recaptured Tengyue Pass occupied by the Qing Dynasty and recruited civil and military officials who did not follow Emperor Yongli into Hongsha.

Then he took advantage of his merits and sent Liu Ju as an envoy to ask Yongli for the title of Duke, weighing the conditions between the Dai Qing and the Daming Ming.

It is hard to say, but the final organized power of the Ming Dynasty court in his hands was far superior to that of Li Bai and the other two vassals. If he had rescued the emperor, he would have rescued Yongli long ago.

The Dashi general that Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang hated the most was Yang Wu.

Gave him hope, but buried it with my own hands.

Therefore, Jin Weixin suggested sending it to Zhu Youlang to vent his anger.

Zhu Cixuan shook his head slightly. It was a waste of manpower. What did it have to do with him whether Zhu Youlang was in a good mood or not?

"General Zuo, do you have anything else to say?"

Yang Wu's expression changed slightly as he looked in a disheveled state. His lips moved, but he hadn't had a drop of water for two days, so his throat was dry and he couldn't make a sound.

After swallowing twice, Yang Wu spoke again: "I didn't expect it."

"The Prince of Jin fled in defeat, and the Emperor abandoned his country. I hesitated at Tengyue Pass, unable to imagine that the Ming Dynasty still had a chance. I had no choice but to hand over Liu Ju and other members of the imperial clan, including the civil and military officials, to Wu Sangui."

"Who would have thought that His Royal Highness would achieve victory so easily?"

Yang Wu gasped, understanding in his heart.

He insulted the emperor, surrendered to the Qing, fought with his colleagues in the West Camp, and betrayed the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty. He had no choice but to die.

After a while, Yang Wu burst out with his last bit of energy, and looked at the leader of the Ming Dynasty's revival with his bright eyes.

"Your Highness, if Wu Sangui abandons the Three Xuans, as long as we attack Dali Prefecture from Zhenkang Prefecture and Shunning Prefecture, he will definitely abandon western Yunnan."

"The Qing court didn't trust him, and he might not even want to continue defending Yunnan and Yunnan."

"Your Highness, continue to win, and lead the Dashi Army to continue to win."

Zhu Cixuan's eyes were somewhat complicated, and he waved his hand to signal Ma Bao to drag him out and behead him.

As the shout of "Great Ming will win" outside the tent suddenly stopped, the tent fell into silence for a while.

After a long pause, Jin Weixin bowed and said, "Your Highness, Wu Sangui must have taken precautions in Shunning Prefecture."

"Don't make arbitrarily decisions about the strategy of a surprise attack."

Zhu Cixuan composed himself and nodded in agreement.

A second-rate military advisor is still a military advisor, at least at the level of Guo Tu in the Three Kingdoms period.

Finally, he doesn't have to use his brain anymore.

Jin Weixin continued, "According to what the generals who rebelled against the Dashi regime said, Wu Sangui must still have 50,000 troops."

Zhu Cixuan made some calculations in his mind.

There were 3,000 people in the Eight Banners, about 15,000 people in Wu Sangui's headquarters, 20,000 people in the Green Camp, and 20,000 people in the old Dashi army.

There are even more than 10,000 soldiers and horses that Shangshan He Jinzhong from the Manmo direction can bring back.

Even if Wu Sangui wanted to guard against Mu Tianbo in the direction of Yuanjiang.

There are still at least 40,000 to 50,000 troops in western Yunnan.

Guizhou even has 20,000 troops on the Shang Kexi line that Guoan is always on guard against.

Aixing Abe is almost arriving in Huguang. Those are the elite troops sent by the capital to completely destroy the Ming Dynasty.

Damn, Wu Sangui and Dai Qing's blood is too thick, pure blood cattle. After Li Dingguo lost 50,000 troops in Guizhou, Guizhou and Xichuan, he had no choice but to abandon Kunming.

Wu Sangui suffered a crushing defeat in his 50,000-man army and only gave up Sanxuan and the eight passes of Tengyue.

Of course, after gathering the remnants of the Qing army.

The number of elite Ming troops under Zhu Cixuan also exceeded 30,000, and with the help of 30,000 miscellaneous troops from Southeast Asian countries, the total number reached 60,000.

Jin Weixin considered his words carefully and said, "Your Highness, I have three options: best, middle, and worst."

Zhu Cixuan frowned and said, "You're trying to do this to me?"

Jin Weixin leaned forward to apologize, then said, "Indeed, all three strategies are feasible. It all depends on how Your Highness acts."

"The best strategy is to hold the Three Xuans and southern Yunnan, collect tribute from the southern barbarian nations as taxes, and emulate the traitor Sun Kewang's practice of cultivating farmland and training troops in Yunnan and Yunnan. Once we have an army of 100,000 in a year or two, we can then attempt to recapture Yunnan and Yunnan."

Zhu Cixuan directly rejected it.

He couldn't wait that long.

What if Dai Qing diverts attention and directly destroys the Thirteen Families of Kuidong?

The climate of Hongsawadi alone is enough to torture the Han people in the army.

Jin Weixin knew very well that the prince would not adopt this safest and best strategy.

Judging from the prince's behavior in the past six months, he is not a slow person.

"The middle strategy is what His Highness once said. We should go through Yuanjiang to Guangxi and Guangdong, unite with Zheng Yanping, and open up another front. This will prevent Dai Qing from gathering his troops in one place, thus weakening Wu Sangui's power and military strength."

"When the war broke out between Guangxi and Guangdong, at least Guoan and Shang Kexi from Guizhou had to return to defend their own territory."

"The Prince of Jin and the Duke of Qian can then plan to advance into western Yunnan and Kunming."

Zhu Cixuan nodded: "What's the worst option?"

Jin Weixin pursed his lips and glanced at the prince who was known for his bravery.

The prince’s glorious military achievements flashed through his mind.

Three hundred soldiers killed the barbarian king, ten thousand soldiers charged into an army of one hundred thousand and killed the general, he led more than a hundred death warriors to cross the Baohe River at night to capture the enemy city, and three thousand soldiers defeated the 20,000 elite troops of the Dai Qing Dynasty.

Jin Weixin gritted his teeth and spoke out his plan: "Your Highness, western Yunnan is a dangerous place with even more passes than the Eight Passes of Tengyue."

"If we attack western Yunnan head-on, I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy losses."

"The Duke of Qian was trapped in Yuanjiang Prefecture by the Qing army."

"My worst plan is for Your Highness to lead an elite force, climb the mountain and cling to the cliffs, from Mengding through Mengmian, Jingdong, and Chuxiong, and launch a surprise attack on Kunming City."

"This forced Wu Sangui to redeploy heavy troops to defend western Yunnan, leaving it empty and allowing the Prince of Jin to easily recapture it."

Zhu Cixuan was lying on the chair.

Do you really think I'm Li Shimin, who can launch a surprise attack on an area of ​​1,500 miles?

At that time, he was alone and surrounded by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Qing troops.

Zhu Cixuan waved his hand speechlessly and asked Jin Weixin to leave, giving himself some space to think alone.

Undecided in times of trouble.

Ask the system first.

[You have recruited top-tier general Wang Fuchen, first-rate general Ma Weixing, second-rate generals Gao Qilong, Li Rubi, and Wang Yongzuo, and second-rate military advisor Jin Weixin.]

【You gain 500 destiny points.】

You recovered the five counties of Mengding, Menglian, Menggen, Cheli, and Yuanjiang in southern Yunnan, and gained 500 Mandate points.

[Life value: 1200]

Let’s try a random shot first and see if you’re lucky.

The word "Reform" appears on the silhouette.

The Hundred Days' Reform and the Meiji Restoration flashed through Zhu Cixuan's mind.

Reform the government, cut redundant officials, translate books, promote civilization, and train a modern army...

They are all nice to him.

The Ming Dynasty was in a state of imminent destruction, and there was no resistance to reform and innovation.

As for the opinions of Southeast Asian countries, I don’t think they will be too big.

however.

Seeing the innocent eyes that he already had in the picture.

Zhu Cixuan cried out that something was wrong.

[Ding, the player has obtained a mysterious destiny. You can check it in the Destiny column on the personal interface.]

[Reformist (King of Litang): I only smoke Rickey 5; you only smoke new-style cigarettes.]

“The world is such a beautiful place.”

Zhu Cixuan repeated it three times, suppressing the anger in his heart.

The system's lower limit is the same as that of the Qing Dynasty, which will always break people's defenses.

Zhu Cixuan bared his teeth: "System, don't you know that people don't like the protagonist smoking these days?"

I don’t even eat betel nut, so how can I smoke?
"Calm down, calm down. If you're unlucky, just draw your destiny."

One thousand destiny points can’t specify anything.

There are only two green-level destinies that can come once every five hundred times, but their effects can only be said to be minimal.

Specify 4D attributes?
There are too many generals to use, but with military advisors, missionaries, and Sanqing education, the intelligence and politics are passable.

Appoint a white, green, and blue level monarch.

Zhu Cixuan rubbed his hands.

If the principal is at the blue level, he will definitely be designated as the principal.

In history, those who were able to successfully launch a northern expedition and expel the barbarians were either purple or gold.

Kill the Hu order and launch a special attack on the Hu people?

Apart from this destiny, Ran Min's other negative destinies can really cost lives.

Moreover, it is still unknown whether his destiny is to use Han to kill Hu or Hu to kill Han.

The Jianzhou Jurchens were considered savages and Dongyi, and could not be considered as the Hu people.

More importantly, the Eight Banners of the Jurchens had only 200,000 soldiers, while four-fifths of the Qing Dynasty's Gulun army were Han Chinese.

Zhu Cixuan thought about it for a long time and finally decided to choose the white-level monarch, Emperor Yongli of the Ming Dynasty.
