Chapter 574 Combination is the trend
After the Fuzhou gold mine state-owned reform case fell, the Liang State reform of the state-owned salt and iron state-owned reform was carried out smoothly.
At the same time, Gao Huan recruited the Gan Army and Zuo Zhenshou Army, and Liang State's goal of 500,000 troops had been achieved.
Now, as long as you wait for another two or three years, the army will form combat power and the national treasury will gradually fill up, Gao Huan will be able to launch a war of destruction of the country, like a powerful Qin, and will sweep away Liuhe. Consider whether to destroy Han or who will be destroyed first.
Nanjing City, in the Liang Palace.
After Gao Huan returned to Nanjing, he handled the accumulated government affairs and summoned several people to discuss politics and gathered in the palace to learn about the major events that happened in the world during his Western expedition to Jiangxi.
At this time, everyone was sitting in the flower hall, and the maid served refreshments. The atmosphere was not serious, but more like chatting.
Gao Huan took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard that Li Zicheng was assassinated?"
Zhou Yanru smiled and said, "Reporting back to the king, there is this matter!"
The strength of Liang State is not enough to fight against the Allied Forces of the Six Kingdoms alone like the powerful Qin Dynasty.
The troops of Liang State cannot challenge the world alone, and there is no natural danger like Hangu Pass to defend.
Therefore, for Liang State, the alliance with Li Zicheng is still very important now.
Gao Huan frowned and said, "Is this assassination related to my Liang Kingdom? Where is Li Zicheng injured?"
Gao Huan heard from the Military Information Department that there had been a long time since Shun's country, and the fragile Liangshun Alliance was still maintained because Li Zicheng did not speak.
Gao Huan heard that someone assassinated Li Zicheng, and what he was most worried about was that someone was trying to destroy the already fragile alliance.
At the beginning, the Liangshun Alliance was mainly because the Qing army was in full swing at that time, and it was not in line with the two families and could not compete with the Qing army at all.
Now the Qing army suffered heavy damage in Shuanggouji, and the threat to Liang Shun has been reduced, and the alliance has been maintained entirely by inertia.
Li Yan said: "It is said that it has something to do with the establishment of the crown prince of Shun. It is said that Li Zicheng wanted to establish Li Guo as the crown prince. Li Zijing was dissatisfied, so he assassinated Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng was not seriously injured, but he was just shot in an arrow."
Gao Huan heard that Li Zicheng was fine, so he asked, "So now Li Guo is appointed as the national throne?"
Li Yan nodded, "After the assassination, Li Zicheng imprisoned Li Zijing. Soon after, Li Guo was adopted by Li Zicheng and was named the crown prince."
Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Lianheng Alliance is very important to my Daliang. I do not want to be in accordance with the country and give me some support. As long as he is like Qi and does not support the country that was attacked by my Daliang, my Daliang will definitely unify the world."
Speaking of this, Gao Huan took another sip of tea and continued: "Now since Li Guo is the national reserve, in order to maintain the Lianheng alliance and avoid Shunguo being pulled over by other forces in the future, we should get close to Li Guo, give some gifts and maintain a relationship."
Zhou Yanru and Taoism: "Don't worry, the vassal state has sent people to congratulate Shun's crown prince a few days ago."
Li Yan said, "What the king is worried about is that last winter, Mobei suffered another snow disaster, and countless cattle and sheep were frozen to death. The four Mongolians in Mobei immediately went south to plunder. They first went straight to Datong, but were defeated by the Qing army, and then rushed into Gansu, allowing Li Zicheng to kill tens of thousands. It is said that when Li Zicheng fought with the Mongols, Duoduo led his army into Ningxia Guards and helped Li Zicheng destroy a Mongolian. This was obviously the Qing Dynasty, who was showing kindness to Li Zicheng and wanted to win over Li Zicheng."
Gao Huan was shocked when he heard the words. If Li Zicheng was attracted by the Qing Dynasty, Gao Huan would have no friends.
"What is Li Zicheng's reaction?" Gao Huan couldn't help asking.
Li Yan said: "I heard that Li Zicheng asked the Qing Dynasty for Hedong, but the Qing Dynasty did not agree, and the two sides did not reach an agreement."
Gao Huan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but he immediately raised his vigilance. This time, the Qing army did not agree to Li Zicheng's conditions. If he agreed, would Li Zicheng stab him back?
It seems that we can't rely too much on Lao Li, and Li Zicheng may not be reliable either.
Thinking of this, Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Now as our strength becomes stronger and stronger, all forces will soon regard us as the biggest threat. This also includes Li Zicheng. I am very worried now that many forces in the world will deal with my Daliang like the six countries joining together to fight against Qin!"
Several people who were discussing politics nodded slightly. Under the great unification of thought, the world was destined to be able to have only one winner in the end.
In order not to be destroyed, the relationship between countries will definitely change at all times and cannot be fixed all the time.
Zhou Yanru and Taoism: "In the late Han Dynasty, Cao Cao had a huge army of millions, and Liu Bei and the Eastern Wu joined forces to fight against Cao. When Liu Bei took Yizhou, Hanzhong, and crossed Jingyi, his strength doubled, Eastern Wu crossed the river in white clothes and captured Liu Bei's Jingzhou land, and the two families turned against each other. As Shu lost Jingzhou, Liu Bei died of illness, Shu's strength weakened, and Wu and Shu went to fight against Cao. From this, it can be seen that the so-called alliance is just a need for interests. When both sides have no common needs, the alliance is easy to break. I think the king's worries are reasonable, and it is not
There is no need to worry too much. The six kingdoms were finally destroyed by Qin, Wu and Shu, and also by Wei and Jin, because whether it is the six kings or Wu and Shu, they are not one mind after all. For many forces today, the coalition of the kings is a trend. Unless the king gives up unification of the world and does not make them feel threatened, this trend cannot be changed. However, I think that since the trend is inevitable, the king does not need to worry too much. The most urgent thing is to continue to strengthen its strength before the six kings merge."
Zhou Yanru's words made Gao Huan and several others nodded frequently when they heard them.
At this time, Gao Huan couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Zhou is right! I really have the same idea. It is better to rely on ourselves than rely on allies. At present, we should focus on strengthening our own strength. As long as Daliang is strong enough and the six countries are united, what are you afraid of?"
After saying that, Gao Huan stood up and ordered: "Get the map!"
When the guard heard the words, he immediately took a map and hung it in the flower hall.
Gao Huan then walked to the map and said in a deep voice: "Since the trend is the trend, I will prepare to speed up the strategy of first south and then north. Next year, I will try to contact the Mongols in the north of Mobei to restrain the Qing Dynasty, and then start a war!"
Speaking of this, Gao Huan pointed to the location of Jiangxi, "Please look. This time I collected most of Jiangxi, but the place I got was attacked by the Western Army and the Zheng Army from north to south, and was easily divided and surrounded. Therefore, I am preparing to launch a war next year to solve this hidden danger."
Gao Huan pointed to Wuchang, then to Fujian, and asked, "There are two directions to break this situation. One is to seize the upper reaches of Wuchang, and the other is to destroy Zheng Zhilong. You think I should take a plan."
