Chapter 14(2/2)
"Li Ping recalled saying.
"If I want to go somewhere else, is there any way?" Shi Ming continued to ask after being dull for a long time.
"I don't know how the other Ming armies escaped. The main reason is that the enemy is not familiar with the situation. For us, the safest one is Xiangyang. To the west is Shaanxi, which is impossible. To the southeast are Yanling, Yancheng and Linying. These few
The fighting here is very chaotic and very dangerous. If you go towards Xiangcheng, you can only go all the way to Xiangyang. Because after passing Ye County, you will reach the mouth of the Nanyang Basin. There are continuous mountainous areas to the left and right.
But once you get to Xiangyang, it’s very convenient to go east into Jiangnan or west into Sichuan, or continue south. Xiangyang’s water and land transportation is very developed.”
"Why are you so familiar with geography? Have you been here before?" Shi Ming was a little surprised.
"I haven't been here before, I just asked more questions." Li Ping answered calmly.
"Then what do you think we should do next?" Shi Ming stared at Li Ping this time.
Li Ping shook his head and said: "I haven't thought about it seriously yet, let's continue heading south! We have the identity of the Ming Army, so it won't be a big problem for a while."
"I've learned a lesson." Shi Ming sighed.
Then he didn't ask any more questions, but walked quickly forward with his head down, probably because his head was also confused.
Just after Shi Ming left for a while, Zhao Jin came over again. He asked Shi Ming what he wanted to talk to Li Ping about, and Li Ping told him everything truthfully.
"I told you to understand some history. We chatted about our plans last night." Zhao Jin said after listening.
"Do you have any plans?" Li Ping immediately became concerned.
"What kind of plan can we have! We don't know anything about the situation yet, just take it one step at a time!" Zhao Jin felt helpless.
Li Ping had nothing to say. His mind had not yet thought about these variables, so he took out the counting rag and muttered the data calculated last night to Zhao Jin.
But Zhao Jin didn't show any surprise. He said "It's almost the same as me" to show that he was not idle either. His past professional habits had already been engraved in their bones.
"If this time and space are exactly the same as our history, there are some things that we really need to consider carefully." Li Ping fell into deep thought.
"Well. I'm going to the front first. You should also think about it." Zhao Jin stopped disturbing Li Ping.
After Zhao Jin left, Li Ping led the horse but quickly fell into a dilemma. It was really difficult to decide where to go.
The Ming Dynasty was about to fall, and Li Zicheng could not survive for a few more years. Even if we did not consider the dangers of endless war, joining the Ming army or the peasant army was not a good option.
Being a commoner or using modern knowledge to do business is even more courting death. After all, civilians have the smallest chance of survival in war!
Exiling overseas? Not reliable either.
Not to mention that overseas is now more barbaric than the Ming Dynasty and continues to be the same. What's even more terrible is that to go overseas, you can only go south to Guangdong and Guangxi by sea or overland to the southern border. Not to mention the long distance, in this era where transportation and medical methods are extremely backward, it is absolutely impossible.
It's a narrow escape.
Defection to the Qing Dynasty? Defection to the known victors seems like a good choice.
But the problem is that it will be several years before the Qing soldiers enter the customs. How to cross the defense lines of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the Northeast is now a problem. Moreover, even if they successfully escape, how can they ensure that the Manchus will not kill them as spies. And just
The Manchu slave system was also a disaster for them.
Qing palace dramas are basically lies.
The real Manchu Qing Dynasty was extremely barbaric, not to mention that Manchus and Han people did not intermarry, and there was no difference between Han people and slaves. If they were not celebrities or high officials, they would be killed for any reason. And if they were allowed to be obedient slaves, I guess they would
No one can stand it.
What to do?
Li Ping thought hard and couldn't figure it out, his head became more and more dizzy, and his severe lack of sleep made him sleepy.
When he realized that the clothes on his body were almost dry under the scorching sun, Li Ping simply called the silly big man Liu San to help lead the horse. Then he got on the horse and hugged Gao Lei and soon became confused.
