Chengdu, the Governor's Mansion of General Li Dingguo. [No pop-up novel website]
An ordinary-looking young man was standing at the side door to see a middle-aged man out. Although the middle-aged man was wearing a long robe, he was energetic and walked with wind. He was obviously a man of martial arts. When he came to the door, the young man whispered, "Uncle Zhou, please help me with everything in Hunan. I am waiting for uncle's good news!"
The middle-aged man surnamed Zhou neatly clasped his fists and said impassionedly, "Zhou has entrusted his daughter to Master Fengxia, and she has nothing to worry about anymore! If I can contribute one or two cents to the country before dying of old age, I will have no regrets even if I die!" When I go here, I will train a good army for the general!" The two held hands and looked at each other in silence.
A person named Zhou, whose surname is Zhou Minglang, is one of the famous "Three Heroes of Qilu", and is as famous as Li Yingqiong's father Li Ning. Moreover, his daughter is another one of the "Three Heroes and Two Clouds", Zhou Qingyun, who is a student of Master Fengxia. Zhou Lang and Li Ning are both patriots. In the original book, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, they were unwilling to serve the Qing court and completely despaired of the general trend of the world. They all retreated to the mountains and forests one after another, gave up reality and pursued the illusory immortality, and finally joined the Emei sect.
This is also one of Emei's established strategies - to promote fatalism and at the same time guide those with lofty ideals to stay away from the world and cultivate immortality, so that they can pin their hopes on the "afterlife". Remove these people from the general trend of the world, lest they continue to stir up trouble.
After sending Zhou Lang away, the young man standing at the door smiled brightly. Who else could he be if he wasn't Lu Yuan? However, Lu Yuan here is now named Lu Zheshi, and he is an aide in General Li Dingguo's mansion. He looks like his original image, which is very different from his current monster-like appearance.
At this time, the alley behind the house was quiet and deserted. When Lu Zheshi turned around, he looked in the direction of Erweiju Restaurant, and his eyes met with Lu Yuan who was sitting on the second floor window and looking this way.
Among the three heroes of Qi and Lu, Li Ning's aptitude for wheel cultivation was better than that of Zhou Lang. But when it comes to the value of leading troops to conquer the world, Zhou Lang is far superior to Li Ning! Because Zhou Lang was not only versatile in both civil and military affairs, but also had far-reaching vision. The "Killing Hu Ling" appeared that day. Block the Qing troops north of the Yangtze River. The foolish and loyal Li Ning joined the Nanming government, which was peaceful and peaceful. A few years later, he saw that the Nanming government was difficult to save, so he had to resign in depression. He was completely disappointed with the Southern Dynasty and took his daughter directly to live in seclusion in Shu.
But after Zhou Lang observed the heroes in the world. The most low-profile Li Dingguo was selected early in the morning and joined his command early on.
The drunk Taoist entered Chengdu today just to seduce Zhou Lang with the idea of cultivating immortals! He had laid the groundwork several times before and was about to finish the battle today when he was tripped up by Lu Yuan in the restaurant. And the other side. Lu Zheshi finally persuaded General Li Dingguo to officially surpass Zhou Lang and entrust him with important tasks. In this era, this kind of kindness could only be repaid with death, and there was no second possibility.
Even if Zhou Lang wanted to cultivate immortality at this time, it was too late. At this point, he had completely separated from the Emei camp. After the drunk Taoist found out, he could only sigh and sigh at the unpredictable nature of God's will. He didn't even realize that someone had tampered with it! In his mind, Zhou Lang can only be regarded as a marginal figure among the Emei swordsmen in the future. If it weren't for his daughter Zhou Qingyun. It’s completely dispensable!
But they never would have thought that Zhou Lang was a fierce Tyrannosaurus rex in the overall situation of fighting for the world! Unknowingly, there was another tiny crack on the cornerstone of Master Changmei's magic...
*****
When the "Killing Hu Order" cut off the north and south of the Yangtze River, Lu Yuan used the power of luck to entrust dreams to seven people.
Among these seven people are the emperor of Nanming, the chief minister and general of the current dynasty, Li Dingguo, the remnant of Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng's remnant, Yan Yingyuan who defends Jiangyang, and the last one is Wu Sangui, who entered the pass with the Qing troops...Dream's The content may be different, but the general meaning is to remind them that the power of "Killing Hu Ling" is limited. It can only hold back the Qing army for ten years at most, so please prepare early!
Of course, this dream is fake, and it is also meant to paralyze Emei, but its effect of measuring people's hearts is completely real!
Emperor Fu Wang of Nanming was the first to know. After he learned the news. He actually scolded Ran Min for being unfaithful, unfilial, and without a king or father! And ordered that all the eulogies written by the great scholars in memory of Ran Min be withdrawn! He also dreamed that Ran Min would protect his Zhu family for tens of thousands of years, but it was only ten years!
On the next day, King Fu's thoughts changed again - "It turns out there are only ten years left." From then on, he began to completely give up his efforts to control the court, and indulged in drinking, sex, and drunkenness every day. Strive to enjoy all the glory and wealth within ten years and then die. Even the descendants don’t plan to stay. The civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty had different thoughts, they were just fighting for power and dividing the territory - anyway, in their eyes, holding the chips and their own family in their hands was the real thing!
In the future, even if you betray your country, you can still sell it at a good price!
The court of the Southern Ming Dynasty was completely at this point. From here, you can see how dark Lu Yuan's move was!
You know, if the Ming Dynasty died as it did in history, it would leave many people with a lot of dissatisfaction and longing. They will think that the Ming Dynasty was not bad. If it weren't for Li Zicheng, if it weren't for the Donglin Party, if it weren't for the Little Glacier climate, if it wasn't for xxx... I, the Ming Dynasty, could have fought for at least another three hundred years! You must know that the Zheng family persisted for decades after that. Even at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were still people who carried out the revolution under the banner of "anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming". You know that the Ming Dynasty did have its roots in people's hearts.
But this time Lu Yuan allowed the Southern Ming Dynasty to survive for ten more years, but it completely exhausted the last trace of the Ming Dynasty's national destiny!
These ten years were the ten years when Nanming was in a corner of peace, drunk and dreamy, and it was also the ten years when the blood of those who were loyal to the emperor and patriotic turned cold! Even a gangster like Li Ning chose to abandon Nan Ming in the end, which shows how unpopular Nan Ming is! When the last bit of the Ming Dynasty's foundation is exhausted, the Ming Dynasty will be completely dead...
Others were selected - Li Zicheng's remnant lacked a sense of justice and had a bad reputation; Yan Yingyuan had no courage and lacked the skills to fight in politics, so his military power was easily taken away by Nan Ming; Wu Sangui did have a lot of courage, but it was a pity that he had evil intentions! He did not tell anyone about Tuo Meng, but instead invited troops to guard the three towns in Wuhan. It was obviously prepared to seize half of the country south of the Yangtze River once the "Killing Hu Ling" lost its blocking effect. Then he split the earth and sealed the king, and ruled across the river from the Qing Dynasty!
What I have in mind is the idea of "separation and hegemony".
Only Li Dingguo was overjoyed after waking up from the dream and shouted, "God lent me ten years!" Then the first order signed was to "better the troops and streamline the administration", and all the veterans in the army who were over thirty years old were to be disarmed and returned to their fields. After all, there would definitely be nothing left for them in ten years. After reducing the army and reducing the financial burden, he surrendered to the Southern Ming court and sought righteousness.
Because he bribed the chief minister of the dynasty, the Southern Ming court gave him arbitrary power over the seven southwest provinces, as well as military and political responsibility. At this point, Li Dingguo became the de facto king of the southwest.
A few days later, a young layman named Lu Zheshi joined him and became Li Dingguo's staff. Li Dingguo was only 29 years old that year. The first suggestion this staff gave was the "Ten Strategies for Farming", which caused ridicule from the whole government - you must know that this is Chengdu in the middle of Sichuan, and all five-year-old children here know Prime Minister Zhuge's Ten Strategies for Farming. How dare he Talk about farming in Shuzhong!
But Li Dingguo carried it out with force. All military weapons were put into storage, horses were released in Nanshan, water conservancy projects were built, and farmland was reclaimed. The next year, there was a severe drought across the country, and Sichuan became one of the only four provinces with bumper harvests.
The following year, Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang had an internal conflict. Sun Kewang wanted to lure the Qing army into Sichuan, but was executed in front of the Qing army's formation by the "Kill Hu Order"!
And that year when Lu Zheshi offered the "elixir" again, the whole government gathered together to attack him! He said that he used alchemist methods to harm the Lord! But Li Dingguo ate it without saying anything. Damn it, only if he vaguely guessed who Ran Min was, a fool would not eat it! Since then, Li Dingguo has been in good health and spirit, and has given birth to eight sons at a rate of one son a year - everyone is envious of him.
Coupled with Lu Yuan secretly killing dozens of assassins sent from the Qing court, Nanming, and even some immortal cultivating forces, Li Dingguo's power finally stabilized and gradually showed a prosperous atmosphere.
At this time, Emei apparently also noticed that the Governor of Chengdu Prefecture, Li Dingguo, was blessed with luck and looked like a dragon! This is completely different from the prophecy left by Master Changmei!
At this time in Chengdu, both good and evil sides are mobilizing their troops, and the plot of the sword fight between good and evil in Ciyun Temple seems to be about to break out. Under the water, undercurrents were surging, pointing vaguely at the Southwest Governor Li Dingguo!
At this time, Lu Yuan, who had been living in seclusion for more than half a year, suddenly entered Chengdu. (To be continued.)
