Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 634
The Jingshi Political and Communication Department was the first to respond and began to sing some popular songs.

For example, "Unity is Strength" calls on the whole Ming Dynasty to unite as one at this critical moment, so that they will not be afraid of foreign invasion, one to fight one, two to fight one pair!
There is also "National Anthem of Defending the Family", which also uses easy-to-understand lyrics and tunes that are easy to sing, to promote the protection of the family and the country, everyone is responsible.

In terms of sketches and model plays, it can also interpret the tragic fate of Lu Song Ming people being massacred by Xiyi. Of course, the tragedy of the Jianlu invasion a few years ago is also indispensable.

Under the full mobilization of the state apparatus, even if the communication in this era is far less developed than in later generations.However, the people of this era have experienced troubled times, and they are afraid in their bones that such troubled times will reappear.Therefore, I agree with the matter of defending the home and the country.

In addition, unlike before, the Jiangnan side, including the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong, has the most people going to sea in these places.

Whether they go out to beg for a living, or go out to do business to make a lot of money, they certainly hope that after they go out, the court can stand behind them; Indigenous oppression.

Emperor Chongzhen's generous speech in the Wenhua Palace won their hearts very much, and naturally won their support.

Therefore, the implementation of the national military service system has received a very enthusiastic response from the south.Especially in Fujian and Guangdong, it was heard that they were going to recruit troops to go to Luzon to avenge the Ming people there. The number of people who joined the army enthusiastically exceeded the government's estimate.Even some famous people, such as that Pan Xiucai, abandoned their pens and joined the army.

The atmosphere of national unity even affected the southwestern side of Daming.

After the promulgation of the national military service system, Emperor Chongzhen also sent an imperial decree to Sun Chuanting, no longer restricting his command.

In the past, Sun Chuanting felt that there were many foreign enemies, so he wanted to end the Southwest War as soon as possible, but Emperor Chongzhen told him to be cautious, that is, not to let him start a war.

Now they finally agreed, but after discussing with Li Yan and others, Sun Chuanting and Li Yan issued an order to stop all troops from acting rashly and continue to expand the army.Moreover, it also emphasized that there are so many enemies in Ming Dynasty, and how dangerous the situation is, the compulsory military service system for all people must be fully implemented.

Not only that, Sun Chuanting also sent people to the local area to carry out propaganda with great fanfare, so that more people could join the army.

This movement is a bit big, and it inevitably spread to Yunnan.

"What?" When Li Zicheng heard the report, he couldn't believe it. He was so happy that he reconfirmed, "Jianlu, Japan, Tsarist Russian Empire, Dutch Empire, Spanish Empire, and Mongolian ministries have all formed an alliance against the imperial court. ?”

In the lobby, his other subordinates were also very shocked, looking at Gao Yigong who was in charge of scouting, waiting for his reconfirmation.

Gao Yigong was not as happy as they were, but said again affirmatively: "That's what I heard. The imperial court therefore promulgated a new law. Men who reach the age of 20 must serve in the military for a period of two years!"

Hearing this, Niu Jinxing was very happy and said to Li Zicheng: "There is no unparalleled road, congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general! It is estimated that we will make a comeback soon and cross the Central Plains again!"

Even if Li Zicheng's troops were allied with chieftains, under the encirclement and suppression of Sun Chuanting and Ma Shiying's two troops, they felt a lot of pressure. It can be said that they could not see the day when they hoped to return to the Central Plains.

In this southwestern region, the court officials and soldiers were not acclimatized, and many of the thieves were from Shaanxi.

If the imperial court continues to besiege like this, Li Zicheng will almost shut himself off.

Originally because of the imperial court's policy of reforming the land and returning the land, many chieftains were unwilling to hand over power and chose to cooperate with Li Zicheng to rebel.However, after the siege lasted for a long time, even if they fabricated all kinds of rumors to slander the court in order to prevent the court from infiltrating, it could not stop the time. Many ordinary people knew the truth and turned to the court.

As a result, some chieftains could no longer hold on, and had already begun to waver, thinking whether to surrender or not, otherwise, confrontation would only lead to death.

As a result, there was a pleasant surprise.

Li Zicheng immediately laughed and told Niu Jinxing, "Tell the news to those chieftains immediately, and tell them that the destiny is my destiny, and the court will soon be unable to hold on. Hahaha..."

Seeing Li Zicheng laughing there, Gao Yigong didn't follow suit, but continued: "The Xiyi in Luzon slaughtered the Ming people there again. This is the third or fourth time. Treat us Ming people like pigs and dogs. The imperial court is already recruiting troops and is ready to send troops to take revenge!"

"Oh?" Li Zicheng was a little surprised when he heard it, and immediately asked, "Has Officer Sun Gou's army been transferred away?"

But Li Guo who was nearby heard it, and said with a bit of hatred: "This is simply deceiving people too much!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zicheng gave him a dissatisfied look and said, "Don't interrupt!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Gao Yigong, waiting for him to reply.

Gao Yigong glanced at Li Guo, and then turned his head to report to Li Zicheng: "It seems that there is no one. The troops who conquered the Western Yi were all recruited from Fujian and Guangdong."

After hearing this, Li Zicheng said with some regret: "That's a pity! And we can't go there, otherwise, if we can take advantage of this opportunity and enter Guangdong and Fujian, it happens that the imperial court's troops are empty, and this is our chance!"

Song Xiance, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth and said to Li Zicheng at this time: "General, this opportunity is rare, why don't you deploy troops from the outside, together with those chieftains, let's take down Kunming and other places first!"

Although they have been in Yunnan for a long time and have formed an alliance with the chieftain, the core area of ​​Yunnan, mainly the Kunming area, has always been in the hands of the imperial court.

Li Zicheng and the chieftain's allied forces fought several times, but failed to defeat them. He was afraid that Sun Chuanting and Ma Shiying's troops would attack from behind, so he did not dare to attack with all his strength. The army entered Yunnan.

Now that we know that the imperial court is facing a severe situation against foreign enemies, and Sun Chuanting's troops are expanding their army and preparing for war, it seems that it is impossible to launch an offensive in the short term.

Therefore, Song Xiance aimed to seize this opportunity and mobilize troops from the periphery to take down the entire territory of Yunnan, so that he would not be passive in the decisive battle with Sun Chuanting's troops in the future.

When Li Zicheng heard this, he nodded and said, "Kunming is at the end of its strength. If we step up our offensive, Kunming will definitely be defeated soon!"

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Niu Jinxing, and asked him, "How is the contact with Dongwu?"

Now Niu Jinxing's duty is to deal with other forces.Whether it's Tusi's side or Dongwu's side, he is the one who is in touch.

When Niu Jinxing heard the question, he quickly replied: "King Dongwu won't let go, and still wants the territory, but the chieftain doesn't agree."

As soon as Li Zicheng heard this, he ordered: "Go and discuss this matter with them again, and say that the court is about to be overwhelmed, and there are enemies on all sides. When the time comes, the Huahua World in the Central Plains will be a bit good, so don't worry about it." Let the broken places on the border be given to King Dongwu, first join forces to take down the whole territory of Yunnan, then there will be no worries, and wait for the day when the situation in the world changes drastically, and then go to the Central Plains in one fell swoop!"

"The general is so far-sighted, amazing!" Hearing this, Niu Jinxing quickly flattered Li Zicheng, which made Li Zicheng feel very comfortable.

Gao Yigong heard it, but he said a little ignorantly: "Close the door and fight yourself, why do you want to lure wolves into the house? People who are not of our race must have different hearts! Just like those Xiyi, killing us Ming people is like killing us." Like pigs and dogs, it makes me angry when I look at it..."

Upon hearing this, Niu Jinxing's expression changed, and he felt a little uncomfortable.Li Zicheng was the same, a little annoyed, and shouted sharply: "You know what, we have only one enemy, the imperial court, the dog emperor, don't you understand?"

"I knew that my brothers would fight when they fight, and what kind of a hero is he who invites outsiders?" Gao Yigong stubbornly retorted after hearing this.

When Li Zicheng heard this, he was furious, and when he was about to say something, Song Xiance saw that the situation was wrong, so he quickly said: "What do you know, Dongwu is actually a propaganda department of our Ming Dynasty, but they don't listen to it themselves?" Those of the imperial court have established themselves as kings."

Others didn't want to see Li Zicheng and Gao Yigong quarreling, so they followed suit.

Some of them didn't even know that Dongwu also belonged to the imperial court before.

Song Xiance's statement made it impossible for Gao Yigong to talk back.When Li Guo saw it, he quickly found an excuse, pushed Gao Yigong to retreat, so as not to turn around and quarrel again in front of Li Zicheng.

After exiting the hall, Li Guo said Gao Yigong: "You are really, the general is finally happy, and you are still making trouble for the general, as for?"

Gao Yigong heard this, looked at Li Guo, and suddenly sighed and said, "I'm tired!"

Li Guo didn't expect him to say such a sentence, so he said subconsciously: "Since you are tired, you should go to rest early!"

As soon as Gao Yigong heard it, he knew that Li Guo didn't understand what he meant, so he sighed and added: "I'm tired!"

"..." This time, Li Guo understood, and fell silent for a moment.

Seeing him like this, Gao Yigong said with a little emotion: "You don't know, I am in charge of inquiring about the news. In the past two years, I always feel that we have gone the wrong way!"

Hearing this, Li Guo quickly glanced in the direction of the lobby, and after finding no one there, he turned around and said to Gao Yigong: "Are you crazy? Don't talk nonsense! I think you are really tired, go to rest early Come on, wake up after a nap, maybe you won't have any messy thoughts!"
