Chongqing Mansion, Chaotian Palace.
Emperor Li Laiheng of Dashun sat angrily on the dragon chair in the Council Hall, looking at a group of loyal ministers and generals of Dashun standing below, he couldn't help but feel angry.
It was these people who coaxed him, the prince, from the good Kunming Mansion to come to Chongqing Mansion... But when he came to Chongqing Mansion, he found that he had fallen into a big pit.
Because Zhu Cihong also came to Chongqing Mansion!
Li Laiheng was in Chaotian Palace City in Chongqing Prefecture, while Zhu Cihong was in Fengdu City in Chongqing Prefecture...the two places were only more than 200 miles apart!
How could this make Li Laiheng run away? This is king versus king, it would be unthinkable for anyone to take a step back!
So he can't even leave Chongqing Mansion now!
Because once he leaves, the hearts of the Dashun Army in Sichuan will definitely collapse! There is no need to fight then, let’s all escape to Yunnan together! Maybe they won’t be able to hold on even if they retreat to Yunnan, and they will continue to flee to Myanmar.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with escaping to Burma... Dashun has long conquered Burma and Arakan, and there is plenty of land to accommodate the fleeing soldiers. Even if there are really 600,000 households, there will still be room for arrangements. As for the food for two to three million people, there is no need to worry about it. There is a lot of land that can be cultivated in Myanmar, and there is food in nearby Siam and Tianzhu, so there will be no problem in getting some.
Besides, Myanmar is also a land of miasma. Two to three million people were moved there, but it would be great to be able to survive for 1.5 million...
But the migration of two to three million people is not just a matter of words. This is an unprecedented and massive immigration project! It is simply impossible for two to three million people to rush to Myanmar in a swarm... With so many people going together, there is no way to provide food and drink along the way!
The output of southern Yunnan and northern Myanmar is limited, and the road goes south... Two to three million people are crowded through it. It will take two or three months to complete the journey, and more than two-thirds of them will be dead by then! If malaria breaks out again in Myanmar, I am afraid that there will be only 200,000 to 300,000 people left in the end.
If there are too few people, the situation cannot be controlled!
Therefore, in order to cover the orderly retreat of the two to three million soldiers, he, the Dashun Emperor, could only stay in Chongqing and could not go anywhere.
But can Chongqing be able to hold on? Will he be surrounded?
Chaotian Palace City is extremely strong, and the terrain is also very dangerous... But the problem is that the terrain around Chongqing is not extremely dangerous, and it is not difficult to get around it.
Once Chaotian Palace City is surrounded from all sides, there will be no end for Li Laiheng!
This Chongqing...should not come!
Li Laiheng sighed. Just when he was not sure what encouraging words to say, Niu Jinxing, who had accompanied Li Laiheng to Chongqing, suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, according to reports from the garrison in Changshou, Dianjiang, Liangshan and other places, the disabled The Ming Dynasty was opening schools in Shizhu, Zhongzhou, Wanzhou, Fengdu, Fuzhou, Yunyang, Qutang, Wushan, Kaixian, Daning and other places to recruit scholars and equally distribute the land..."
"What? Niu Zuofu, what did you say?" Li Laiheng didn't understand.
"Your Majesty," Niu Jinxing said, "the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty will open a new branch in the prefectures and counties of Dongchuan to recruit scholars and divide the land equally!"
Li Laiheng was a little dumbfounded!
What does Zhu Cixiang want to do? You can just open a subject and get a scholar. What does it mean to divide the land equally? You are the Ming Emperor! If you are not King Chuang of the Rebel Army, nor are you a demon from the White Lotus Sect, what kind of land do you own? By the way, you did it once in Xiangyang and Nanyang! Now it's here again, it's so hateful!
Li Laiheng frowned tightly and was a little helpless. He said in a low voice: "The Zhu Thief is deceiving the Sichuan people and buying people's hearts. How should we respond?"
How to respond? Of course there is no other way...
The ministers below were all speechless, and even Song Xiance, who had always been resourceful, was helpless.
"Scholar Song!" Li Laiheng was not polite and directly named Song Xiance, "You are a great military advisor, you must have a way!"
"Ah, I have something to report!" Song Xiance really had something to say.
"Speak quickly, speak quickly!" Li Laiheng seemed to have hope and urged Song Xiance to provide advice quickly.
"Your Majesty," Song Xiance said, "Is it time for Taizu Lao Long live's mausoleum to be moved?"
"You mean the Imperial Tomb on Bishan?"
Song Xiance nodded: "Your Majesty, Lao Wansui once set fire to Tianshou Mountain... If Can Ming beats him to Bishan, he will definitely open the coffin and kill the corpse to vent his hatred. Therefore, I suggest that Lao Wansui burn down Mount Tianshou..." The coffin and coffin were taken out of Bishan and sent to Yunnan for burial."
Li Laiheng knew that Song Xiance wanted to escape in the name of escorting the coffin! But he had to let Li Zicheng "move"!
"Is it safe to go to Yunnan?" Li Laiheng asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty," Song Xiance said, "I have been walking in the mountains bordering southern Yunnan and Myanmar over the years, looking for geomantic treasures, and I really found a dragon's cave. I named it Dragon Valley. It is located in the mountains. Not for Everyone knows. The two late emperors can be buried there, and it should be foolproof."
"Yunnan Dragon Valley?" Li Laiheng asked, "Is it safe? It won't be dug up, right?"
"No, absolutely not!" Song Xiance said, "This place is very secret, it's not even on the map... Only the old minister knows about it. The old minister can personally escort Lao Long live's coffin south and wait for it to be moved. After the burial, come back north to advise His Majesty!"
I really want to run!
Li Laiheng was so angry! But one cannot let people chop Song Xiance, a great military advisor, into pieces - Dashun was the political council of the Eight Kings, not the dictatorship of the Sacred Heart. And now that things are going badly, Li Laiheng can't just take all the power... This is not taking power, but taking responsibility!
In addition, no matter how Song Xiance belonged to the Dashun Old Camp system (the Dashun troops before the merger of Shunxi were called the Laoying Department, and the Daxi troops were called the Xiying Department), Li Laiheng couldn't tear down the pillars of his own platform!
"King of Sui and King of Tang, what do you two think?" Li Laiheng suppressed his anger and asked the two political kings in Chongqing, Sui Wang Tian Jianxiu and Tang Wang Liu Wenxiu.
Tian Jianxiu said: "Your Majesty, the burial place of Long Live Taizu is where the dragon veins of our Dashun Dynasty are located. We can't be careless in the slightest. The great military advisor knows the secrets of heaven. Let him handle this matter to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Liu Wenxiu also said: "Your Majesty, this matter is extremely urgent. We should ask the military advisor to go to the Bishan Imperial Mausoleum to remove Lao Long live as soon as possible. In addition, Lao Long live in our Xiying camp must also be moved and buried. It is recommended that Lao Long live in Xiying be moved." The coffin of Long Live was moved to Uzang and buried in the Kunlun Mountains."
"Prince Tang," Li Laiheng asked calmly, "Are you also going to Uzang to find a Feng Shui treasure land for Xiying Lao Long Live?"
"Well, I don't know how to read Feng Shui," Liu Wenxiu shook his head, "Besides, I have to stay in Chongqing Mansion to fight with Can Ming, and can't go to Uzang."
Li Laiheng calmed down a little and forced out a smile: "Did Prince Tang have a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"
"I can't tell you the best way to defeat the enemy," Liu Wenxiu said, "but it can always help us stay in Chongqing for a while longer."
"If the King of Tang has any clever ideas, please tell me quickly!" Li Laiheng said hurriedly.
Liu Wenxiu said: "An isolated city cannot be defended, so if you want to defend Chongqing for a long time, you have to divide your troops and station them in Hezhou and Luzhou. They and Chongqing's capital city are the horns of each other and support each other, so that it can last long."
Li Laiheng asked: "Who can defend Hezhou? Who can defend Luzhou?"
Liu Wenxiu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you can lead troops out of Hezhou. As for Luzhou, you can ask the Sui King to come out of town."
King Tian Jianxiu of the Sui Dynasty immediately took over the conversation and said: "Your Majesty, you have the responsibility to guard Luzhou and ensure that the Chongqing Mansion's escape path is not lost. Don't worry!"
rest assured? Are you ready to die? Li Laiheng understands in his heart, you two have agreed upon it, right? We ran away together... Fortunately, you are still the political king!
"Okay," Li Laiheng nodded repeatedly and said through gritted teeth, "With the King of Tang guarding Hezhou and the King of Sui guarding Luzhou, I can rest assured! I will leave the matter of relocating the mausoleum to Bishan to the military advisor... Zuo Fu, you have Are you going out? Do you want to take some troops to guard the place?"
"Your Majesty," Niu Jinxing said with a frown, "I am a civil servant and cannot lead troops... I will stay in Chongqing Mansion to help the Emperor with government affairs."
Li Laiheng breathed out and said in his heart: Finally there is someone with a conscience... He nodded and said: "Okay, the monarch and his ministers will stay in Chongqing Mansion and work together to fight Can Ming to the death!"
