To a certain extent, it is correct to ensure the internal stability of the foreign war, and guerrilla warfare and sparrow war behind enemy lines are even more correct.

But this correctness is based on certain special conditions, such as a large enough strategic depth.

The territory of the Rabbit Family is large enough, and even the territory of the Mao Xiong Family is large enough. Even if you take a step back, the territory of the San Ge can make do with it.

England wants to play this tactic, which is basically a dream.

Especially what Cromwell could not have imagined was that the Ming Dynasty really captured all the English people. The Ming Dynasty's eyes were almost red when it was short of laborers. If so many English workers were left, would they use the Ming people?

In this case, even if the English army was deliberately ignored and the English civilians were not welcomed by the English civilians, Cromwell's plan was destined to be empty after losing the soil for the masses that they depend on.

However, what both Cromwell and Charles I breathed a sigh of relief was that the Ming army's pace of advancing forward suddenly slowed down.

From the perspective of Emperor Chongzhen, he naturally wanted to flatten the entire England in one day. However, what was more fucked was that in the Ming army, many soldiers in the guard station were somewhat unhappy.

The eunuchs sent by the military in the military by the expert factory were ordered to conduct a secret investigation after Shen Zhenjiang was given suicide. The results of the investigation were shocking.

The top and middle-level soldiers in the army were better, and they could basically understand why Emperor Chongzhen ordered Shen Zhenjiang to death, while the lower-level generals and lieutenants, especially the soldiers at the bottom, generally held sympathy for Shen Zhenjiang.

In other words, if it was not Emperor Chongzhen who issued this order, even if it was Zhang Zhiji, the leader of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, this matter would likely cause a lot of mutiny.

Shen Zhenjiang knew he should die, and the soldiers of the Nanyu Lin Guard also agreed with this. However, this is the person involved's perspective, his commander disobeyed at the last minute, so he should die.

However, in the hearts of other soldiers, they should have been praised for their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and to die for the emperor. Why did they still have to be sentenced to death with such a loyal commander?

The soldiers have not mutiny yet. The most fundamental reason is that the prestige accumulated by Emperor Chongzhen over the years has not dared to have a second thought.

However, heavy pressure is not a means to solve all problems. If so, Qin would not perish in the second lifetime, Han would not perish in Hengling, and Tang would not perish in Anshi.

Therefore, this matter must be properly resolved. In addition to publicly explaining the ins and outs of this matter in the military newspaper, the eunuchs sent by the expert factory have also become busy and must ensure that everyone in the army has no problems.

In addition, normal military defense replacements were required, and enough soldiers were drawn from the Ming Dynasty to rebuild the Southern Imperial Guard. A lot of destruction slowed down the Ming Dynasty's offensive to a certain extent, allowing Zhang Zhiji to pacify England's prediction several months in advance to ruin.

Li Hongji was so excited. Although he didn't like the guy named Wu Sangui for some reason, this did not affect the two of them moving forward together with the army.

In fact, two guys who are not good birds gather together. In one aspect, they are simply a stinking existence. Faced with the situation where the English barbarians hide in the mountains, the two unethical goods chose to set fire to the mountains.

Wu Sangui, dressed in a standard commander of the Ming Dynasty, held up the sunglasses that were put on his nose. Looking at the rising fire of the small hill bag, he suddenly sighed: "You said, what would happen if we set such a big fire in the Ming Dynasty?"

Li Hongji glanced at Wu Sangui and sneered: "If you have the courage, just try it. The local governments can't take care of you, but do you think the military law can spare you? Don't forget that active-duty soldiers violate the law, but they will be tried in military trial!"

Wu Sangui said: "Of course I don't have the courage, maybe you don't. So the opportunity to set fire to the mountains now seems so rare and refreshing."

Li Hongji said: "Sorry, I'm not interested in letting go of mountains and burning mountains. In the broken place of Xinming Island, there are so many burning mountains, and this small mountain bag is not bad. But you, hurry up and enjoy the pleasure of setting the mountains and burning mountains, and you won't have a chance to go back."

The Royal Academy has long concluded the consequences of the environment being destroyed. It is precisely because of this that the "Ming Dynasty Law: Criminal Law" is also very clear. Setting fire to the mountain and sitting in the prison is a real sitting in the prison. As long as you go in, you don't have to think about coming out anymore.

Li Hongji was better. The sky was high and the emperor was far away. In order to clear out the barbarians on Xinming Island and to mine those minerals, Li Hongji took his men and set fire to his fire with his men.

However, Wu Sangui had no chance to experience the pleasure of setting fire to the mountains in the Ming Dynasty. Now he came to England to fight, and Wu Sangui, who had the thrill of opening up the mountains, would naturally not let it go.

As for how many people will be burned or what kind of damage it will cause to the environment in England, it is not within Wu Sangui's consideration.

England is not a territory of the Ming Dynasty now, but will be the territory of the Duke of England in the future. Is it so good for me to care for? It's not something from my own family...

After strangling the reins of the horse and driving the horse back a few steps, Wu Sangui said, "What batch is this? If these barbarians really do this, it would be disgusting enough. We can't burn all the mountains in England, right?"

Li Hongji said: "What's so disgusting? No matter how many barbarians are, we have more people? If they play with the people of the Ming Dynasty, everyone will have a headache. But these barbarians have only a few people and dare to play the trick of division of troops and chaos. I'm afraid that the birthday boy will live a mess if he eats arsenic?"

Wu Sangui nodded, but spoke with a serious expression: "This is not a problem. The problem is our speed of advancement. In any case, the entire English War must be ended before the beginning of winter."

Li Hongji said: "What can we do when winter comes?"

Wu Sangui said: "The winter was just getting better a few days ago, and it suddenly became colder last year. No one of us knows what the situation is like in England.

If we can’t clean up the barbarians before winter, it means we have to fight with the barbarians in winter. Then the supplies and soldiers will be much more troublesome than now.”

Seeing Li Hongji nodding in his approval, Wu Sangui continued: "So, we must speed up the pace of moving forward and quell the war before winter begins anyway."

Li Hongji said reluctantly: "If you just speed up, what should these barbarians do?"

He pointed to the Englishman running out of the mountains, and Li Hongji's eyes shone a little: "A barbarian can cost five taels of silver, five taels!"

It seemed that in order to increase the persuasiveness of his words, Li Hongji simply opened his palm and gestured: "How many big fat chickens can you buy for five taels of silver? How many girls can spread their legs?"

Wu Sangui glanced at Li Hongji and snorted coldly: "What's the use of silver? Can it be eaten or drunk? Don't forget, where can we spend money in the army? Military merits, only real military merits are the first priority!"

Li Hongji suddenly became unhappy.

Li Hongji doesn't care much about military merits. After all, his position is high enough on Xinming Island. There is little hope of transferring back to the Ming Dynasty, so military merits are naturally useless.

Not to mention that the broken place in Xinming Island is not a dead island, it can actually be considered desolate. If it weren't for the addition of some Dingkou in recent years, Xinming Island would be even less crowded.

You, Wu Changbo, are naturally in the Ming Dynasty. How many years will you try to stay in Xinming Island? If you don’t have silver flowers, you will be suffocated to death!

Wu Sangui naturally didn't know what kind of bird was on Xinming Island. After all, he had never been to Xinming Island at all. However, seeing that Li Hongji was so concerned about catching barbarians, Wu Sangui finally decided to work hard with Li Hongji.

No one has too much money for themselves.

After pondering for a while, Wu Sangui said, "Or would you send someone to surrender?"

Li Hongji shook his head and said, "Those English barbarians were going to be arrested and sold. If you surrender them and then sell them, it will really hinder your reputation."

Wu Sangui said: "What do you think you should do? You can't bear to kill me, and you don't want to surrender if you pretend to surrender. Then you can tell me, is there any good way to kill two birds with one stone?"

Li Hongji laughed and said, "Of course there are good ways. But we don't send people to surrender these English civilians, we surrender their rebels.

Don’t the barbarians in England have officers and soldiers and rebels now? We just need to send people to surrender those rebels who are unfamiliar with the English court and then buy barbarians from them. Wouldn’t all the problems be solved?”

Wu Sangui hesitated and said, "Can that work? No matter how stupid these barbarians are, can they still attack people of the same clan?"

Li Hongji sneered indifferently: "Wu Changbo, what are you doing as these barbarian rebels?

For the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty were the parents and villagers who gave birth to them and raised them. In addition, His Majesty loved the people as much as his sons, so naturally there was no big-headed soldier who was not open to provoke the people, but he had to protect the people everywhere. But these things in front of him,"

Li Hongji continued, stretching out his horse whip and pointing to the English soldiers who were fleeing everywhere but were soon captured by the Ming soldiers.

Those English rebels can be enemies with the English court when the two countries are at war. Can you still expect them to have the English people in their hearts?

As long as they give enough benefits and don’t let them sell their parents, wife and children, do you think they will care about selling their neighbors?

Don’t be stupid. When I was in Xinming Island, I saw many barbarians. The rude and shameless barbarians got crazy. There was nothing they dared not do!”

Wu Sangui said: "If you say that, wouldn't we just surrender some of the rebels, sell them to them, and then buy the barbarians from them?"

Li Hongji said: "That's the case. Whether it succeeds or not, try it first. There is no harm in trying it. The worst thing is just some arms, it's no big deal."

When Li Hongji mentioned the arms, Wu Sangui, who was already almost inclined to this plan, suddenly came to his senses: "If you sell our arms, what should we use? How much does it cost to transport supplies and arms from the Ming Dynasty? You don't know how much?"

Li Hongji said with a roar: "When I went to sea with His Royal Highness Tang, I had already known about sea transportation. Of course, I knew very well how much it was to transport supplies and arms from the Ming Dynasty to here."

Wu Sangui said: "Then you dare to trade arms with the barbarians?"

Li Hongji laughed and said, "Brother Changbo, we can't sell the arms in our hands. It's okay to sell the arms in our hands? Anyway, those good things are not very useful in the hands of English officers and soldiers, so it's better to let us trade them for the barbarians.

As for the English rebels we surrendered, we can just arrange some names and sell them to the military palace afterwards. Then the arms will come back. Is this a good thing to win three goals in one go?"

Of course, it is a three-killing victory. Wu Sangui is not stupid, so of course he can see the hidden benefits.

The first advantage is to use the barbarians to eliminate the barbarians, which accelerated the Ming Dynasty's conquest of England from the side. The second advantage is these barbarian rebels.

The rebels, which are no different from robbers, are more physically superior to ordinary barbarians and can be sold at a higher price.

In the end, these things you have paid will be returned to your own hands, and you will not lose any military merits you should have at that time.

This person with the surname Li is really not a thing!

After cursing Li Hongji in his heart, Wu Sangui said: "Then do what you said, send someone to contact the English rebels in front of him, and then acquire the barbarians from them."

As for whether it is a bit unkind and unrighteous to surrender the rebels and then find reasons to sell all the rebels, Wu Sangui and Li Hongji subconsciously ignored it.

Wu Sangui felt that these bad ideas were all created by Li Hongji. The fact that having a son was not a good person has nothing to do with him. He was a good person. During the Ming Dynasty, he helped his fellow villagers find lost oxen.

Li Hongji also believed that these bad ideas were agreed by Wu Sangui, and he only had half of the infamy. When he was in Xinming Island, he helped the old lady pass by, and he would hand it over to the good people in the government if he picked up a tael of silver.

The rebels in England who were excited about watching "The Gangster Stories by the Swamp" were happy.

What does it mean to uphold justice for God? What does justice mean to be free in the hearts of the people? What does the people mean to?

Look, it's now!

Even the people of the Ming Empire admitted that we were doing the right thing and wanted to provide us with support. What does that mean?

This shows that England is now rotten and needs to be overthrown by us!
