Zhang Kewang has always been a very ambitious person.
It's just that while Zhang Xianzhong was still there, his ambitions had been suppressed and he had to restrain himself.
Zhang Xianzhong's sudden death gave Zhang Kewang the opportunity to fill the power vacancy left by Zhang Xianzhong's death.
Power is an aphrodisiac that can make people expand quickly.
At least for the moment, Zhang Kewang, who regarded himself as the Emperor of the West, felt that he was more powerful than ever.
As long as he can withstand this wave of Qing offensive, he will have enough time to develop military villages at his own pace.
Military settlements were the system Zhang Kewang admired most.
Under this system, all high-quality resources will be allocated centrally.
This advantage may not be obvious in peaceful times, but in troubled times, this is undoubtedly the most efficient model.
Zhang Kewang's admiration for military villages originated from Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
This mud-legged emperor vigorously promoted the military settlements and relied on the military settlements to make a fortune and finally sat on the throne.
Zhang Kewang wants to replicate this process.
He also knows that it will not be smooth sailing, but he must try.
When Zhu Yuanzhang started the uprising, could he be sure that he would conquer the world in the future?
It's not like crossing the river by feeling the stones, step by step, and finally succeeding and proclaiming the emperor will be successful.
Zhang Kewang claims to be as qualified as Zhu Yuanzhang, so why can't he do what Zhu Yuanzhang can do?
All that is missing is an opportunity.
Zhang Kewang took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
He has the confidence to conquer the world and become a great leader.
Of course, the top priority now is to repel the invading Qing army and ensure that the Great Western Army controls Sichuan.
Only when this is achieved will all the subsequent matters make sense.
"Report, Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the east."
Zhang Kewang was worrying about how to deal with the Qing army's onslaught.
Suddenly, his guards came outside the palace and sang reports loudly.
Zhang Kewang frowned, but still asked his personal guards to submit the urgent report.
At this time, an urgent report from the east Zhang Kewang was still very curious.
The moment he opened the letter and read it, his spirits were lifted.
This is Zhang Dingguo’s personal letter Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo have been together day and night for so many years and will never admit their mistakes.
Zhang Kewang was very excited and quickly read on.
The content of the letter was very simple.
It said two points.
One was that Zhang Dingguo was fighting a fierce battle with the Qing army in Weicheng.
The second is to request Chengdu to take strict precautions, as the Qing army may attack Chengdu at any time.
It’s just that Zhang Kewang is not mentioned throughout the article.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand.
Since Zhang Dingguo has arrived in Weicheng, he must have seen Baoning's miserable situation.
In this case, it is normal to think that Zhang Kewang is dead.
It was impossible for Zhang Dingguo to realize that Zhang Kewang had escaped death, let alone that Zhang Kewang had fled to Chengdu.
Zhang Dingguo wrote this letter simply to warn Chengdu and let them prepare for the upcoming fierce battle.
In other words, it doesn't matter who the guard of Chengdu is or who is in charge.
Zhang Dingguo is just doing his duty.
Zhang Kewang was filled with emotions.
In times of crisis, Zhang Dingguo's troops are particularly crucial.
Of course Zhang Kewang will fight for it.
Of course, he was not as the sworn brother of Zhang Dingguo, but as the Emperor of Daxi.

He felt it necessary to inform Zhang Dingguo at this time that he had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and asked Zhang Dingguo to be loyal to him.
Now Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Wenxiu are both dead.
The only one in the Daxi Army who had the strength and prestige to compete with him was Zhang Dingguo.
No matter from which angle you look at it, Zhang Nengqi is more than a little bit behind.
As long as Zhang Dingguo is willing to surrender, Zhang Kewang can integrate all the resources of the Great Western Army camp and become the well-deserved leader of the country.
So he eagerly wrote a reply, in which he ordered Zhang Dingguo to stop fighting with the Qing army in an emperor's tone and quickly send his troops back to defend Chengdu.
After writing the letter, Zhang Kewang sealed it and sent it to Weicheng quickly.
The current situation is really chaotic, but because of this, Zhang Kewang finds it very exciting.
He must place a bet on this big bet of Spring and Autumn and must win.
After Wen Anzhi quietly read the imperial edict, he sighed: "It's a troubled autumn, it's a troubled autumn."
Unexpectedly, the Donglu had crossed Daba Mountain and invaded Sichuan, and defeated the Western Army in Baoning.
Zhang Xianzhong also died unexpectedly in this battle.
Of course Wen Anzhi would not doubt the authenticity of the imperial edict.
It is said that the Internal Military Intelligence Department established by His Majesty has spies in various places.
These spies look like ordinary people on weekdays, so they will not arouse suspicion.
But at critical moments they can get extremely important information.
It is precisely because of this information that the Military Intelligence Department of the Inner Factory has become the most trusted institution by the emperor, even more important than Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
Presumably the information about Donglu's attack on Sichuan this time was first revealed by the inner factory.
Donglu had been holding back for half a year and finally made a big move.
When he was still in Nanjing, Wen Anzhi felt that Donglu would not be content with the status quo.
Their goal is to seize the world and turn the people of the world into their slaves.
The setback in the Shandong War will only delay their plans slightly, but it will not make their ambitions disappear.
It's just that Wen Anzhi didn't expect that Donglu would choose Sichuan as a breakthrough point.
Sichuan is of course very important, but it is incomparable to Shandong and Huguang.
Did Donglu do this because he wanted to use Sichuan as a springboard to attack Huguang?
Otherwise, there is no point in simply running Bashu.
No matter how Sichuan is a land of abundance, it is impossible to support the hundreds of thousands of troops in the North.
Wen Anzhi paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and finally decided to summon the generals to discuss countermeasures.
Now Zeng Ying, Shen Fu and other generals are still in Yunnan.
Wen An's subordinates were basically the remnants of the surrendered army.
However, after these days of getting along with each other, Wen Anzhi conquered Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi and others with his personality charm.
These old Shunjun generals found that Wen Anzhi was different from other Ming court officials they had come into contact with.
He was truly serious about his work.
If the officials in Shaanxi had been like Wen Anzhi, they might not have rebelled at all.
Hey, to put it bluntly, it was not because the government was forcing them to survive that they raised the flag of rebellion.
Otherwise, who would be willing to put their heads in their waistbands and work hard.
Now that they have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, they naturally want to work hard and do their best no matter what Wen Anzhi tells them to do.
Wen Anzhi naturally noticed this.
He hoped to set an example by himself so that the Lao Sichuan Army, the Shence Army, and the Old Shun Army could eliminate their sectarian differences and become one.
This time Wen Anzhi suddenly summoned Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang and others to show these people that he fully trusted them.
Yuan Zongdi and others were also very moved and rushed to the governor's Yamen immediately.
"Everyone, I have called you here for an important matter.
Donglu has invaded Sichuan
