    After Li Siye left, Gong Yan looked at Deng Ming carefully: "There is nothing wrong in being wary of Wu Sangui. This guy is full of conspiracies, but are you sure you want to give Hunan to the King of Jin?"

    "Yes." Deng Ming nodded seriously.

    "Although the Huguang in Zhang Changgeng's hands is not the same as in your hands, it is equivalent to you sharing it with him. Well, almost 30% belongs to you and 70% belongs to Zhang Changgeng." Gong Yan calculated what Deng Mingneng could get from Huguang.  Profit, he didn't know exactly how to calculate the profit of business, so he could only make a rough estimate.

    "It's almost the same, but some have returned to the imperial court in Beijing," Deng Ming pointed out. Zhang Changgeng is still riding a wall between Beijing and Chengdu, and there is never a shortage of water transportation to Beijing.

    "This is because he doesn't dare to completely fall over to you, and he can't figure out what benefits you are willing to give him. But if you severely injure the Tatars a few more times, Zhang Changgeng might fall over to you." Gong Yan pointed out that if  Li Dingguo got Hunan, so Deng Ming could not blackmail the King of Jin, and then gave Hubei to Kuidong, then the entire Huguang income would probably not belong to Sichuan.

    "Yes, but the King of Jin is one of our own, and Zhang Changgeng is not." Deng Ming admitted that Gong Yan was right. By then, not only would Sichuan not be able to share Huguang's tax revenue, but I'm afraid it would not be able to obtain so many commercial benefits.  .

    "What kind of people are your own?"

    "Isn't it clear to Gong Shangshu? Anyone who has ever fought against the Manchus is one of his own." In this era for so long, Deng Ming has also seen a lot of ignorant customs within the Han people, but even so, it is better than that of the Manchus.  The coating system of the Ming Dynasty was much more civilized; although the Ming Dynasty was also very cruel to the people at the bottom, it at least treated the scholars with respect, while the Manchu Qing Dynasty regarded all Han people as slaves.

    Next to the Han civilization is the Mongolian steppe, the largest barbarian production base in the world.  Since the beginning of the Five China Rebellion, every barbarian invasion has been a major regression of civilization.  By the early Ming Dynasty, the barbaric customs inherited by the Ming Dynasty were not much less than those of Mongolia: "Just like Gong Shangshu or the generals of Kuidong, the officers and soldiers of the Western Camp also rose up to resist the barbarians, and Zhang Changgeng and the others fought against the barbarians.  A group of people, not to mention Wu Sangui. So, if I treat Zhang Changgeng better than I treat King Jin, that would be wrong."

    "Well, I don't know if you will still think this way in a few years." Gong Yan didn't seem very confident in Deng Ming, but he also hoped that everyone who broke into the camp would have a good death, so naturally he couldn't persuade Deng Ming to go with him.  Li Dingguo was playing tricks on him: "What happens after the Tartars are expelled? Have you ever thought about what to do at that time?"

    "I am more than ten or twenty years younger than King Jin, Zhang Shangshu, and Hu Shuai. They have endured much more hardships than I have endured, and they are far less healthy than I am." Deng Ming said with a smile.  : "When the Tartars are expelled, I will ask them, 'Should we consider reunifying our country?' If they agree, that's great. If they are noncommittal, I won't ask a second time."  Anyway, I can afford to wait. If they don¡¯t want to learn from He Daoning, they won¡¯t. Their son¡ªfor example, the Crown Prince of Jin, his abilities and popularity are far behind those of the King of Jin, right?¡±

    Thinking of Li Siye¡¯s experience in the city and dealing with people, Gong Yan nodded slightly: "It is indeed far from being compared with King Jin."

    "The heroes are competing because they all think they have a chance. As long as Sichuan has an absolute advantage but does not take the initiative to provoke internal strife, the civil war will not start." Deng Ming felt that he was actually overthinking it, and that was all.  , there is no need to force those heroes to bow their heads.  They don't want to be inferior to others, so let them be prestigious for the rest of their lives.  Anyway, Deng Ming had a lot to do, and he would have to spend at least a generation promoting his national ideas.  Besides, a smaller territory would not delay Deng Ming from doing more important things. He knew that he was facing an era of expansion of destiny, an era of civilizations carving up the world, a time of imperialism, and the turbulent colonial independence.  The struggle would not come until much later.

    ¡°And as long as we complete our overseas expansion and have money and land, Deng Ming feels that domestic conflicts will be easier to resolve, and no one will suffer, so they will naturally be able to talk peacefully.  However, there is no need to explain this to Gong Yan. Not to mention this old master, even Deng Ming¡¯s subordinates may not generally accept the idea of ????fighting the outside world first and then settling the internal affairs: "Expelling the Tartars is not an overnight success, at least.  It will take another ten years before Sichuan Academy can educate enough students."

    As for the treatment of Zhang Changgeng, Gong Yan had no objections. The opponent had always been a senior official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Since Deng Ming was strong enough and could confront the Qing court without Zhang Changgeng, there was no need to accept the opponent's surrender.

    ¡­¡­

    Jin Shengtan and others took a boat up the Yangtze River and arrived in front of Yuezhou City in September. This was the dividing line between the areas controlled by the Qing Army and the Kuidong Army. After passing here, they entered the control of the Ming Army.scope of jurisdiction.

    After leaving Jiujiang and entering Huguang territory, Jin Shengtan and his friends saw many businessmen with short hair. They knew that these were Sichuan people, and the short hair was said to be in line with Bao Guogong's hairstyle - Deng Ming  I have always thought that short hair is good because it is easy to wash and not prone to lice. However, Sichuan people generally believe that this is for the convenience of shaving their heads and putting on makeup to sneak attack the Qing army. This is also believed by the Allied Forces in Chongming.

    After seeing that the government officials in Huguang turned a blind eye to short hair, Jin Shengtan and others also began to grow their hair. When they passed through Yuezhou, their tribesmen also had short hair.  After docking in Jiangling, the exiles who escaped from the area controlled by the Qing army were completely relieved and planned to rest here in Jiangling for a period of time to recuperate before moving on, striving to reach Xuzhou before December.

    After staying in Jiangling for only two days, another group of people from Jiangnan arrived.  The dress of this group of people is completely different from that of the exiles in Wuxian County. They all wear short skirts and many of them have swords on their waists.  Upon inquiry, it turned out that this was a boatload of people from Zhejiang, all descendants of the former Jingnan Army.  After accepting the recruitment, Zhuang Yuncheng and others immediately sent their children to Chengdu to attend the military academy. For these gentry in Huzhou and Jiaxing, these children were not only their hope to defend the clan in the future, but also the fire that the clan reserved in case the Qing army came from the north.  If they mobilized a large army, tore up the peace treaty, and marched into their hometown, then their descendants would not die together; they could even play a role similar to hostages, making Deng Ming believe that they were in Cao's heart and in Han.  They don't accept the recruitment sincerely, so that if there is any need in the future, they can still talk to Sichuan.

    Chengdu also attaches great importance to this group of non-commissioned officer students. First of all, they are all self-funded students, and each of them has paid a tuition fee. Therefore, the military academy must of course provide excellent services in return.  More importantly, Deng Ming intends to exert influence on these young overseas students. They are the new generation of the gentry class in northern Zhejiang. Sooner or later, Deng Ming will leave Sichuan and try to rule the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. At that time, Deng Ming does not intend to study.  The Manchus, in the southeast, killed a person with a rolling head to establish authority.  Therefore, Deng Ming needs a group of Zhejiang people who understand his ideas, so that they can at least communicate without serious misunderstandings. It would be better if these young people can agree with Deng Ming's ideas.

    Therefore, when these young Zhejiang scholars marched westward, Deng Ming sent soldiers to accompany them throughout the journey, introducing them to the Ming army's many years of campaign, and also provided each scholar with tight-fitting combat uniforms and short swords.  These tour guides also assured the international students that when they arrive in Sichuan, the military academy will issue them military uniforms and allow them to receive the same military training as Sichuan's standing army non-commissioned officers.

    In addition to these, the officers also distributed pamphlets promoting imperialism to these young Zhejiang people and began to try to change their thinking patterns.

    Jin Shengtan¡¯s son was not very young yet, and he soon became familiar with several of the former batch of non-commissioned officers and students who disembarked from the ship. He listened to them repeat the questions in the pamphlet to him: ¡°Han people have been immigrating to Southeast Asia for hundreds of years.  The history of Nanyang is rich in products, and some areas can even produce three crops a year. The Han people are industrious and simple, but they have not grown up in such a fertile land for hundreds of years. Why?"

    "Why?" Mr. Jin felt a little strange after hearing this and asked.

    "Because after several generations of hard work, the Han people opened up a large area of ??land. When the local natives saw it, they became jealous and attacked the Han people, killing all the men and taking away women, children and all their belongings. So for hundreds of years  The Han people continue to immigrate, but the number increases very slowly." A Huzhou native shouted angrily: "I didn't know it before, but only after reading this book did I know that after arriving in Nanyang, the red barbarians kept inciting the natives to kill the Han people.  , took away the land of the Han people, and then turned the natives into slaves to farm for the Hongyi. It has been like this for hundreds of years. Only the prince of Yanping County gave the Hongyi a severe beating a few years ago, and they were able to do something.  He restrained himself and saved many Han people."

    When introducing the Western colonists in this pamphlet, it was mentioned that most of them were at the bottom of society in their own countries like the Han immigrants. Many of them were landless farmers who had difficulty making a living in their home countries.  However, after they landed in Nanyang, they quickly became rich and became local rulers within a few years.  They enslaved the natives, while the Han people were the targets of plunder by the natives.

    "Why? Why are we all going to open up wasteland? Why do we Han people and Hong Yi have completely different experiences?" Another Huzhou scholar couldn't help shouting.

    "Why?" Jin Shengtan's son was a little confused.  Although I did not know that the scale of immigration was so large, it is not surprising that overseas immigrants live a difficult life. After all, they are away from home and unfamiliar with the place they live in. If there were no Dutch people to compare, then many scholars would probably take it for granted.  , will not think deeply about the reasons.

    "because of U.SMost of the farmers went to sea with hoes and sickles, and they only brought farm tools.  In addition to farm tools, Hongyi also carries a gun!  Now Huzhou people are deeply impressed by rifles. Because these young people have seen with their own eyes the bullying of the Zhejiang Governor's Office, they also deeply agree with the principles in the Sichuan Army's pamphlet: "Our farmers not only do not carry guns, but also  I still feel guilty, thinking that I am a guest at the host's house, asking for a bite of food, so I just accept it; but in fact, these wastelands belong to God, and whoever cultivates them belongs to him.  "A Zhejiang scholar waved a pamphlet sent to him by the Sichuan army and shouted: "This book says well that all the natives who do not work by themselves and specialize in killing and robbing are actually like jackals. As long as they dare to attack the Han people,  Wandering outside the fence, we should deal with them as we deal with wolves.  "
