Now the entire Longnan region, except for the cities along the Wei River, is controlled by Wang Shuo.In the eyes of all Wang Shuo's subordinates, including Liang Min, the form is very good.However, Wang Shuo does not think so.Temporary vitality doesn't solve anything.Longnan is cold and barren, sparsely populated, and it is not a problem to deal with Lu Wenbin's 10,000 or 20,000 troops, but in the face of Li Zicheng's army, his strength is not worth mentioning at all.Judging from the information that continues to be transmitted from outside, after the autumn harvest, the Tianshui and Chencang lines east of Fuqiang are no longer only a few thousand people from Li Tong stationed and transporting grain, but in recent days, Li Zicheng's main forces with different numbers have appeared one after another.Historically, Li Zicheng occupied Shaanxi after defeating Sun Chuanting, and Wang Shuo is not sure when this happened.Now it seems that Sun Chuanting is very likely to have lost Tongguan and was defeated and killed.Only in this way will a large number of the main forces of the Shun army appear near Tianshui.Next, Wang Shuo only knew roughly that after Li Zicheng defeated Sun Chuanting, he would occupy Xi'an.After some time, he proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an, and then set out for Beijing, occupied Beijing, and destroyed the Ming Dynasty.But how the Longzhong and Gansu areas evolved, he is not very clear.In modern times, he once traveled to the Gansu area, where there are relics of the Dashun army.This shows that the Shun army once occupied this area.Extrapolating the specific time, it should be the peak of military strength after Li Zicheng occupied Shaanxi.This means that he will soon face the attack of Li Zicheng's main force.Then, at this time, it is not far from Li Zicheng's main force to attack Longzhong and Gansu.With Longnan's territory, resources, and manpower, he could not defeat Li Zicheng's army no matter what, and his final fate was either surrender or being wiped out by Li Zicheng's army.Surrendering Li Zicheng, Wang Shuo was reluctant.King Chuang's army would eventually be wiped out by the Manchus, and even King Chuang himself would lose his life.The key is that in Wang Shuo's eyes, Li Zicheng is not a generation of Ming monarchs, and his brutality is no less than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.The Manchu Qing Dynasty, Wang Shuo did not have a good impression, and China's decline began with this closed dynasty.The best way is to develop it yourself, confront and eliminate Li Zicheng and Dolgon, and let this corrupt Ming Dynasty change from now on, but it is absolutely impossible to just count on the development of Longnan in this place, he must think of another way before Li Zicheng attacks the northwest.After thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided that it was now necessary to develop into the resource-rich areas north of the Wei River, and obtain enough resources and population to fight against Li Zicheng's main force and strive to survive.As for chasing the Central Plains and stopping the slaughter of the Manchus in the future, don't be obscene, and it's uncertain whether you can resist Li Zicheng.First, the largest county town in the north of the Wei River, Anding, was taken into hand and developed into another Zhangxian County, and then with Anding as a base, waiting for an opportunity to seize Gansu and control Gansu as a base for self-preservation and future development, especially Lanzhou, which is rich in various mineral resources.Only in this way can he and his force have hope of not being eliminated and developing.At present, Gansu is still under the control of the Ming army, and the governor of Gansu, Ma Yi, and the king of Su, Zhu Zhihong, are still stationed in Lanzhou.It is still necessary to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty for the time being to help Ma Yi hold Lanzhou.When Li Zicheng's army attacked Beijing to the east, competed with Chongzhen for the world, and had no time to look west, he looked for an opportunity to replace Ma Yi and control Lanzhou.As for the Su King Zhu Zhihong, he is just a vassal king, with no soldiers and no power, so don't worry.Maybe after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and when Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants became kings, they could still use this King Su to use it as a puppet for a few days, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, after all, he is a descendant of the Zhu Ming Dynasty.He needs to lead a part of the army to occupy his hometown of Anding, get a foothold in a base area, and connect Longnan and Anding.First, he expanded his base area, and second, he stabilized his proximity to Lanzhou, so that he could cooperate with Ma Yi, the governor of Gansu, to jointly defend against the attack of the Shun army on Gansu in the near future.He was originally a thousand households in the Anding Guard, and he had exterminated horse bandits around Anding.The people of Anding know that he is strong in martial arts and loves the people, and that his prestige in Anding is very high, and it should not be difficult to establish a base there.He shared his thoughts with his generals.The generals did not have a high-ranking military background, they were all big-headed soldiers who had come up from the ranks, and they did not have any ambitions themselves, and they all admired Wang Shuo's invincibility and whimsy, so naturally they listened to what Wang Shuo said.The only thing they were worried about was Wang Shuo's safety.After all, the north of the Wei River is not their territory, and there is still danger.But to open up a new base in an unfamiliar environment, except for Wang Shuo, others are really incompetent.Wang Shuo decided to lead 10,000 soldiers to stabilize and develop.Before leaving, he asked Lu Yinchang to return to Xining early to prepare.Since Li Zicheng has occupied Gansu, he may have also occupied Qinghai.He couldn't tell Lu Yinchang why he knew that Li Zicheng was going to attack Xining, but he just used reasoning to analyze the development of things.Lu Yinchang should have returned to Xining a long time ago, Wang Shuo gave Liang Min the leadership of the propaganda agency training, he listened to it with relish, learned a lot of unheard of knowledge, and couldn't help but deeply admire Wang Shuo, feeling that this person has such thinking and scheming at a young age, and will become a big thing in the future, so he has the idea of taking refuge in Wang Shuo.Wang Shuo gave him an analysis that Li Zicheng would occupy Gansu and Xining in the future, and Lu Yinchang was convinced.He told Wang Shuo that he would go back and carry out these new decrees made by Wang Shuo, and get the support of more serfs, so that he could organize a strong army against Li Zicheng's army.If he could convince the Xuanwei envoy Qi Tingzhi, they would join forces with Wang Shuo to do it, and then they would have enough strength to fight against Li Zicheng's army.Seeing Lu Yinchang away, Wang Shuo began to prepare a plan to settle down.When he is gone, who will take over his management of this base area centered on Zhangxian County, Fang Dachu, Zhang Ermeng and his group will have no problem fighting the war, and they will be too far behind in engaging in civil affairs, managing the localities, mobilizing the masses, and inheriting and developing his policies.After thinking about it, there was no one who could replace him.After he left, he couldn't help but be in trouble what to do if this base couldn't be saved
