Chapter 18
Li Yan asked suddenly, which made Second Brother Gao very happy, and finally waited for a chance to perform.

He has been thinking about this a lot lately, and he summed up a few things in his mind, so he saluted a little excitedly: "Reporting to the general, I thought that in order to guard against the Tartars and take over the Ming Dynasty smoothly, we must do at least three things."

Seeing that he really had an idea, Li Yan leaned forward a little, "Tell me, what are the three things to do."

Gao Yihuan licked his lower lip, "First, we must establish a system, appoint officials, appease the refugees, resume production, effectively rule the conquered counties, and build a solid foundation. Second, for the surrendered troops of the Ming Dynasty, We must adapt it to maintain control over them. Thirdly, I think it is enough to attack the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, confiscate the wealth of the clan, relatives, nobles, and eunuchs who are closely related to Zhu Ming, and distribute the lands of the vassals to the people. We must not pursue the officials, gentry, and people too much, we must gain the support of the officials and gentry as soon as possible, inherit the assets left by the Ming Dynasty, and quickly integrate the north, so that the Tartars have no chance to take advantage of it."

The Chuang army faced the Qing army alone, and naturally it would probably not be able to defeat it, but if the Chuang army could inherit the legacy of the Ming Dynasty, the third child and the second child would merge into one and form a new dynasty, then the slaves outside the customs might not have a chance to enter the Qing army. close.

Li Yan was a little surprised after hearing this, because he had thought about all these things, but Gao Yihuan spoke more clearly and methodically.

Hearing Gao Yihuan's words before, Li Yan just thought that he was a person with the world in mind and a long-term vision, but Li Yan had met many talented people, and he didn't think he was too special.

Now Li Yan thinks that Gao Yihuan is a talented person, a person worthy of promotion and reuse.

"Yihuan, your three points are right, and they coincide with my thoughts." Li Yan praised him, his expression was much gentler, and he suddenly became interested, "From the end of Wanli, Jiannu gradually rose and became the most serious in Ming Dynasty. In order to resist the invasion of Jiannu, the Ming Dynasty dispatched three soldiers from Shaanxi many times, but they were repeatedly defeated by Jiannu. If King Chuang can win Beijing, Jiannu should indeed be the most powerful enemy, and he has to guard against it. .”

After Li Yan finished speaking, he couldn't help recalling Gao Yihuan's three points again in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it touched his heart.

At that time, Chuangjun was employing people, and Li Zicheng trusted the township party from his hometown, and he could feel more at ease if he knew the basics.

This is also a common problem in the old days, and it was basically the same when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom employed people later.

It's just that most of these township parties are warriors, but they don't have a long-term goal, and they don't have a plan for the future. Therefore, it has been fifteen years since Gao Yingxiang raised the flag to rebel in the first year of Chongzhen, and the Chuangjun is still doing looting. .

If this continues, then Li Zicheng will be no different from Huang Chao and Chimei, and at most will establish a rogue regime, bring down the Ming Dynasty, and then make a mess of the world.

Li Yan is a powerful man in Henan, and he is from a famous family. If it is for his own sake, there is absolutely no need for him to spend all his family wealth to help the people and join Li Chuang's gangsters.

Li Yan was different from these rogues in northern Shaanxi. He joined the Chuangjun with Confucianism to help the world.

Li Yan's original intention coincides with Gao Yihuan's suggestion.

He entered the camp with ideals, but after entering, he realized that it was not an easy task to turn a group of rogues from plundering to conquering the world.

After all, there were too few scholars in the camp, so soon after he entered the camp, he recommended Niu Jinxing again, but it was still difficult for him to find like-minded people in the camp
At this time, when he saw Gao Yihuan, he couldn't help liking it, so he wanted to promote him, but he was Li Zicheng's staff, so he could only suggest, but he couldn't directly give Gao Yihuan any official position. I will tell King Chuang of your suggestion and recommend you to him, and I will also talk to General Li Guo to see if I can change your position."

Speaking of this, Li Yan sighed a little: "Your father is very cautious in dealing with things, your talent is no less than your father's. To be a department head is really a waste of talent."

Gao Yihuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and he also felt that he was too wronged, but with Li Yan's words, his trip was worth it, and he hurriedly clasped his fists in salute, "Thank you for your cultivation, General."

"You don't have to thank me, you are indeed talented, and I'm just recommending talents for King Chuang and doing my part." Li Yan waved his hand and smiled.

Gao Yihuan was just an inconspicuous department head in the back camp, and Li Guo, the head of the back camp, probably didn't know him at all, and his chances of going further were too slim.

Now that Li Yan intends to use him and thinks he is talented, then he may enter a fast lane and emerge soon.

Among a group of warriors and thieves, Li Yan is undoubtedly lonely. There are many things he can't tell others, and no one is willing to listen to them, or if he speaks out, it is like playing the piano against a cow.

He said it a few times, but others couldn't understand it, so he didn't say it anymore.

At this time, he felt that Gao Yihuan was well-informed, and the conversation started for a while, so he couldn't help talking more, expounding his strategy on internal affairs, and also said that he suggested that after capturing Kaifeng, first go to Xiangyang, then go west to Guanzhong, and finally join forces The military strategy of the Eastern Expedition.

Before he knew it, one night passed. Seeing that it was dawn outside the tent, Li Yan remembered that he still had something to do today, so he ordered: "That's all for today. Your father is my recruit. I have an order. In the future, you Come here often."

Gao Yihuan hurriedly stood up and saluted, "The humble officer will resign." After speaking, he thought of Fan Dongling he had brought with him, so he asked again: "General, what should I do with the profiteer captured by the humble position?"

Li Yan thought for a while, "Leave him here. After I send someone to interrogate, I will bring the confession to King Chuang, stating that Jiannu spied on the Central Plains."

Gao Yihuan nodded, and immediately exited the big tent, half of his face was already visible in the red sun outside.

He didn't sleep all night, but Gao Yihuan was very happy in his heart. With Li Yan's approval, he felt that his chance to succeed would come soon.

At this time, he called Gao Xinghao and another brother, left Fan Dongling behind, and happily left the Zhongquan camp, completely forgetting about the report to Wang Jiaping.

At noon, Second Brother Gao returned to the camp unhurriedly. Gao Yicheng had been waiting at the gate for a long time. When he saw Gao Yihuan coming back, he immediately got up and greeted him, "Second Brother, that turtle grandson of Wang Jiaping took Zhao Daxian away."

Gao Yihuan's face changed when he heard this, this turtle grandson really wanted to trouble him...
