But Wu Zheng was really confused about this matter for a while. Li Dingguo's education level was almost gone. How could he explain the economic principles to him easily? It was really a bit troublesome.

Seeing Wu Zheng silent, Li Dingguo said angrily: "We are aiming to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. We are not afraid of death. What money are you still struggling with? In this way, I will make you... cough, 100,000 stones of grain, as long as the soldiers can eat enough, they can go to war!"

When Li Dingguo said the second half, he was obviously not strong enough.

Yes, the 100,000 army traveled 2,000 miles, and there was no surplus grain at home, but that was it, and it was still possible to say that even the 100,000 s of grain really touched Wu Zheng.

But no matter how moved it is, it is really not a matter of food.

Although there were many muskets and cannons in Li Dingguo's army, some came from Jiangnan military workshops, and some were purchased directly from foreign merchants, Li Dingguo's thinking still stayed in the era of cold weapons of swords, bows and crossbows, cavalry, and elephant soldiers.

In other words, Li Dingguo was not afraid of muskets. The cannons had no ammunition and had no bullets. They could do it like swords. They could also find some stonemasons, chisel a few stone bullets, and still stuff them into the cannon barrel. Without gunpowder, they would ask the craftsman to do it themselves.

But Wu Zheng is different. The Northern Expedition Army has equipped muskets, artillery, and uniforms with all fabrics. If soldiers wear such military uniforms, can they go into battle and fight with those enemies with at least one leather armor?

In Wu Zheng's opinion, fewer people were killed in every battle? That was equivalent to more veterans? The veterans were precious, especially during years of war.

As the Northern Expedition Army and the Daxi Army advance northward, the Qing army became increasingly dense, with at least hundreds of thousands of troops gathering around the capital? This is not simply a hard bone, it is simply a thick wall of people.

Every step further? It will take the lives of the soldiers to consume.

But Li Dingguo's idea is different? He has been used to life and death since he followed his adoptive father to rebel the king. He thought that when fighting, people would die? As long as he could win? It is common sense to fill his life with his life. There are so many people in the world and many casualties, so he will be recruited again. Where is there no one who works hard for food?

The two had completely different ideas? The unhappy separation of this rally was something Wu Zheng did not expect.

....

But Wu Zheng wanted to continue to convince Li Dingguo.

After the banquet ended early? Wu Zheng took the initiative to go to the temporary bed of Li Dingguo.

Seeing Wu Zheng visiting, Li Dingguo was also very happy? A smile appeared on his face.

"King of Wu, isn't it that I can't listen to the advice? Is it really an arrow on the string? I have to fire it!"

As soon as they met? Li Dingguo explained, "Now that Fujian and Guangdong have been pacified, you are advancing all the way east. Our army has only recovered half of Huguang. At this time, let the soldiers stop attacking... To be honest, there is no need to say that Your Majesty did not agree, and the soldiers did not agree, even I did not agree!"

Wu Zheng nodded with a serious expression. He knew that Li Dingguo was telling the truth.

First, Jianxing Dynasty has extended its tentacles into Qingzhou, not far from Shuntian Prefecture, and the Western Army has just left Huguang. How could Yongli not be anxious? If he is anxious, more than a dozen gold medals will force Li Dingguo to continue to go north.

Secondly, the Daxi Army is different from the Northern Expedition Army. The Northern Expedition Army has a sound mechanism for local salary and silver. Even if they don’t fight, they will receive the same salary every month. However, the Daxi Army is different. Although they don’t fight, they also care about food and accommodation, but if they don’t have any salary, they have to win the battle or be captured. Then, the battle is easy at this time. It is really difficult to make these arrogant soldiers stop attacking. I am afraid that even if Li Dingguo suppresses them, some generals will be in vain and disobey.

Third, including Li Dingguo, senior generals like Liu Wenxiu and Bai Wenxuan also need to make achievements. If they conquer Runing Prefecture or even the entire Henan province, who would not be jealous of such a great achievement?

Wu Zheng can understand, understand and agree with it is not the same thing.

"What the King of Jin said is right, but King of Jin should know that Sun Kewang, who is now named King Yi by the Qing court, is the chief general of the Qing army of Runing Prefecture."

It would be fine if he didn't mention it. When Li Dingguo mentioned it, he immediately exploded, "I'm worried that there is no place to look for him! It would be fine if he was a free and careless person, but he surrendered to the Qing court and betrayed his father's entrusted entrusted to me... I will destroy my relatives without justice and take his head on his neck to comfort his father's spirit in heaven!"

Wu Zheng regretted that he mentioned Sun Kewang and quickly said: "It is reported that the Qing army in Shaanxi and Gansu direction Wu Sangui and other troops had already shown signs of advancing eastward... The King of Jin attacked north at this time and was likely to be surrounded by the enemy from three sides... King of Jin, after my advice, there is a kind of retreat called victory!"

Li Dingguo slowly calmed down and squinted his eyes for a long time.

Wu Zheng did not urge him and waited quietly.

Li Dingguo opened his eyes suddenly and looked at Wu Zheng and said, "Even if, as you said, Shaanxi and Gansu advance eastward, it will take at least ten days and half a month to reach Runing Mansion. Then, within five days, our army only needs to face the more than 10,000 Zhengbai Banner Han army and the possible arrival of Ajige more than 50,000 people... right?"

Wu Zheng frowned, but still nodded and said, "It should...yes."

Li Dingguo browed, "Then there is no problem. The front army of our army entering Runing will reach 30,000, and the back army is marching northward. At most, it will be possible to form an encirclement of Runing in three days... At worst, capture Runing and capture Sun Kewang alive. I will order to stop advancing north and defend Runing."

Wu Zheng heard that Li Dingguo's real purpose was Sun Kewang, and he did not want to kill Sun Kewang, but... captured alive!

Wu Zheng was really worried, "This matter is inappropriate... The King of Jin had to consider that Liu Wenxiu, Bai Wenxuan and other generals of the Western Army were originally subordinates of Sun Kewang, and even the King of Jin could not bear to kill Sun Kewang, let alone those generals?"

When Li Dingguo heard this, he was dissatisfied. He glared at him, "Who said I can't bear to kill him... I betray the Lord and abandon the righteousness and recognize the thief as my father. Everyone in the world can punish him!"

Wu Zheng knew that he could no longer persuade him, so he could only stand up and bowed, "Since the King of Jin has made up his mind, I will not persuade him... In this way, I will immediately send someone to pass on orders to Li Guo and Liao Zhongping to transfer Guangxin Guard and the left camp of the Beijing Army to the west. Even if he could not catch up with the war in the end, he could still restrain Ajige so that he would not dare to reinforce Sun Kewang."

Li Dingguo nodded and patted Wu Zheng's hand and said, "Actually, I understand your intention..."

Wu Zheng felt warm and was about to say something.

Li Dingguo has changed his choreography, "Sixing, Haiyue are all okay?"

Wu Zheng replied: "It's all good. The prince has been promoted to the deputy regiment in the First Army... Haiyue has been busy with the matter of the Inspection Office. By the way, she has read a lot now. It is Duke Wei's eldest sister and third sister who are teaching her..."

Li Dingguo smiled and raised his hand to pat Wu Zheng on the shoulder and said, "That's good... But don't be careless about me, you must be careful about Haiyue's marriage!"
