Zhang Zhun said slowly and cautiously.

Yin Fengyi's marching and combat characteristics are fast, running fast, and fighting fast. None of the other troops of the Hu Ben Army are his opponent in terms of speed. He served as the commander of the Zhuque Legion, and the characteristics of the Zhuque Legion are naturally fast. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as fast as lightning. Since Nanjing, the Zhuque Legion swept across the entire South China region in a very short time and pushed it to Yunnan. It is impossible to say that it is fast.

However, the weakness of the Vermilion Bird Legion is also quite obvious. Since its establishment, the troops have not experienced major wars. They have never experienced dangerous and bad battles. This has led to the lack of fighting will and little experience in tough battles. Once they fall into fierce battles and fall into tug-of-war, Zhang Zhun is a little worried whether the Vermilion Bird Legion can adapt to it in a harsh mountainous area like the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

Of course, Zhang Zhun did not think that Mu Tianbo had the ability to block the Hu Ben Army from entering Yunnan. Mu Tianbo's army was several levels worse than the Hu Ben Army in terms of basic training and weapons and equipment. Even if the combat effectiveness of the Zhuque Legion was not particularly strong, it was enough to deal with Mu Tianbo. Yunnan would not last long.

However, after all, they are all their own people, and as long as they can avoid battles, they must be avoided. Tug-of-wars with heavy casualties and other things must be avoided as much as possible. It is not worth wasting precious lives in rugged mountains. Mu Tianbo also has tens of thousands of people under him. If he surrenders, it will be tens of thousands of labor. In the era of great colonialism, population is still very important.

If Mu Tianbo's tens of thousands of people were put on Java Island, Java Island would be firmly controlled by the Hu Ben Army. In the future, each man would have a few indigenous women and give birth to a group of children. When this group of children grew up, they would marry and have children. This Java Island would always be the territory of the Hu Ben Army, and no one could take it away.

Zhang Zhun was worried about the reproductive ability of the Han people. As long as there is a hundred years, the population will increase by five times, and there will be no problem. With the gradual improvement of medical and health conditions, the death rate of newborns has dropped sharply. It is normal for a woman to have four or five children. Being stronger can even have more than seven or eight.

As for the same sentence, no country is China's opponent in terms of population resources. The total population of Western powers is not as high as that of Ming. With such a rich manpower base and his dedicated guidance from Zhang Zhun, the Han people were spread all over the world within a century, and the difficulty was almost non-existent.

In Zhang Zhun's long-term plan, the Hu Ben Navy still had to adopt the method of far-reaching and near attacks, first controlling Southeast Asia in its own hands, and then gradually advancing towards Oceania and Indian Ocean. Wherever it passes, it would become a colony of the Hu Ben Empire. The most basic colonial policy is to expel foreign colonists and at the same time control and reduce local indigenous people.

Except for Oceania, there are many indigenous people in other places. If the number of Han people does not reach a certain level, they will definitely not be able to rule the region for a long time. In addition to the planned large number of immigrants, it is to encourage local Han people to actively have children and reproduce offspring.

"Sir, Wu Sangui has a secret letter."

While looking forward to the future, Wang Junyu quickly stepped in.

"Wu Sangui?"

Zhang Zhun frowned quietly.

Zhang Zhun really didn't catch a cold about Wu Sangui. He was even a little reluctant to mention this name. It was probably because his impression was causing trouble. In fact, Wu Sangui didn't seem to have anything to do with the Hu Ben Army. From the time when Gao Qiqian was high, Wu Sangui was the most responsible errand runner.

Forget it, I would forgive him. Zhang Zhun shook his head gently and made a decision. To be serious, Wu Sangui can be regarded as a talent. He still has a good time in leading troops. In the future, the Hu Ben Army marched to the Middle East and Africa, which required a large number of talents. No matter what his mentality was, Wu Sangui was thinking, and he let him go abroad. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away, so he could do whatever he wanted.

Every time I stared at the world map in a daze, Zhang Zhun had only one feeling, that is, there were too few talents around him. If there were many talents, put a little here and there, and occupied every corner of the world. At that time, there would be the military flags of the Hu Ben Army everywhere, the figures of Han people everywhere, and the Chinese-style buildings everywhere. He could have realized the great dream of red flags planting all over the world hundreds of years in advance.

"What did he say?"

Zhang Zhun calmed down and said in contemplation.

"He said that he was willing to go south with the Wang Dou army to launch military admonitions and force the court to surrender. He also said that at present, the power around the court's Xi'an Prefecture is very weak and is a good opportunity to take the initiative to attack. As long as the battle begins, he can guarantee that he will control the court within ten days."

Wang Junyu said briefly.

Zhang Zhun stretched out his hand.

Wang Junyu hurriedly handed him the secret letter.

Brigadier General Zhang took the secret letter from Wu Sangui and read it carefully.

That's right, Wu Sangui does have the intention to surrender. He also won the opportunity to surrender. The court didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't notice Wu Sangui's true intention at all. He actually agreed to let Wu Sangui deal with Wang Dou. Judging from Wu Sangui's tone, it seemed that the court praised his loyalty for this.

At the beginning, when the people from the court surrendered to him, they were basically excavated by the Hu Ben Army. Only Wu Sangui actively asked to surrender to him. Moreover, Wu Sangui was really awesome in his work. In order to seek credit and to win his trust, he actually had to attack the court directly. Speaking of which, Emperor Chongzhen's rewards here have not cooled down.

Well, that's good. Wu Sangui took the initiative to attack the court, and Zhang Zhun just lost a knot. There were many people in the Hu Ben Army's Government Affairs Department who were a little hesitant about killing the court. Their intention was to say that the court should be as strong as possible. Zhang Zhun himself was not good at killing too much in the face of such thoughts. If it was a fight in the court and a chicken in the cage rebelled, that would be even better. Anyway, the charge was not with him.

It seems that it is necessary to give Wu Sangui some help so that he can handle this matter smoothly and successfully. After completely pacifying the domestic situation, the Hu Ben Army can expand externally with confidence. As long as the domestic situation is completely pacified, with Zhang Zhun's four hundred years of knowledge, the domestic economy can definitely be restored quickly. As long as the economy develops, the demand and motivation for external expansion will be all available.

"Tell me back to him. If he takes action, the Xuanwu Legion will cooperate. In addition, tell him not to worry about his own safety. I can promise that he will get what he deserves. He doesn't need to pay attention to the opinions of others."

Zhang Zhun said slowly and deeply.

After saying this, Zhang Zhun sighed quietly in his heart again.

Wu Sangui is indeed cruel enough to actually want to give the court a bunch. Even himself has never imagined such a possibility. He is cruel enough, he is really cruel enough to eat people and not spit out bones! He is worthy of being the leader of the great traitor! However, the current number of the imperial army is less than 100,000. Wu Sangui's 5,000 Liaodong cavalry is indeed more prominent. These Liaodong cavalry probably have no feelings for the court.

At present, the Xuanwu Legion of the Hu Ben Army stationed in Luoyang is restraining most of the main forces of the imperial army. Wu Sangui has a great chance of success when he attacked at this time. At present, the court mainly relies on Hong Chengchou, Wang Kun, Shi Kefa and others to lead the troops. Needless to say, what kind of way Wang Kun is. Hong Chengchou focuses on the direction of Tongguan and has no time to care about it. Shi Kefa... When it comes to leading troops, he is definitely not as good as Wu Sangui.

That Wang Dou is actually a talent. With his army cooperation, Wu Sangui raided Xi'an Prefecture and basically didn't need to worry about siege. Once he moved, the Xuanwu Legion of the Tiger Ben Army would definitely follow. The court, which was attacked from both sides, would probably not be able to avoid this disaster. Perhaps, it was indeed time to end the existence of the court.

If such a situation really happens, the only variable is the rebel army entrenched in northern Shaanxi. They are the only military force in Guanzhong area, except for the imperial court. What choice would they make when Wu Sangui attacked Xi'an Prefecture? Help the Hu Ben Army? Help the imperial court?

"How is Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai? Have they reached any agreement during their meeting in Zhenyuan?"

Zhang Zhun thought for a while and suddenly asked again.

After the settlement with the court, the opponent of the Hu Ben Army was the former Shaanxi Uprising Army. After the Hu Ben Army captured Luoyang, the Shaanxi Uprising Army had no major moves. They had always been hiding in the northern part of Shaanxi, as if they were trying to accumulate strength.

"Ms. Dong had sent information before, saying that they were in Zhenyuan for a meeting, but there was no result. The internal conflicts between them have never been resolved. At present, they are still stationed in Guyuan Prefecture, Pingliang Prefecture and Qingyang Prefecture."

Wang Junyu said cautiously.

"The command of the Xuanwu Legion and Wang Dou Legion to concentrate their full strength first and cooperate with Wu Sangui to solve the court. After the court was resolved, all the troops immediately launched an attack on Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others!"

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said sternly.

"clear!"

Wang Junyu agreed to go.

With the issuance of orders, the domestic war wheels were about to start again. The frontline troops of the Hu Ben Army acted quickly and rushed towards each target, brutally. The sound of gunfire extended from Guanzhong, Shaanxi to the border of Yunnan.

According to Zhang Zhun's estimate, the domestic war situation should be over soon. I wonder if the Dutch main fleet will appear on the sea south of the faraway Penghu Islands? Will Seviara's plan be successful?
