Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 135: You Can't Beat It Frontally
Zhu Zhongqu was a little confused with the leaders of the Ming coalition forces.

Although the leaders of these allied forces against the Ming Dynasty had overestimated Zhu Jinsong's army as much as possible, it was only after they actually arrived on the battlefield that they realized that Zhu Jinsong's army was really difficult to deal with.

No one can figure out where they will attack from.

In the 4484th year of the Yellow Emperor era, the third year of Zhu Jinsong's ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, Qian Deaf was 53 years old.

In the spring and February, the leaders of the Daoming Alliance had just prepared for the alliance, and Zhu Jinsong declared war on the Daoming Alliance in the newspapers.

On the first day of March, the army of the Daoming Alliance had just assembled, and the army under Zhu Jinsong had already started to move before the logistics and food and grass were prepared.

Zhu Erdan led the former military governor's mansion and began to march towards Zhejiang, which was the first shot against the Ming Dynasty Alliance.

At the same time, Liu Heming led the Chinese army's governor's mansion to march towards Anhui, Liu Erniu led the left army's governor's mansion to defend Denglai, and Geng Rui led the right army's governor's mansion to march towards Shaanxi. Only Zhu Sanshun's rear army's governor's mansion was still on hold. State, used to guard against the Tatar Qing army in the north.

On March [-], in just over a month, Zhu Erdan arrived in Wuxi, Changzhou with the Second Army of the former Military Governor's Mansion.

In order to form psychological military pressure on Zhu Zhongqu's alliance against the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Erdan directly declared to the outside world that he would command 20 troops to fight against dissidents. Second Corps.

As a result, the offensive and defensive situation was immediately reversed, and Zhu Zhongqu and his civil servants and generals were also paralyzed.

Zhu Zhongqu was circling back and forth in the Lin'an Palace, and the civil servants and generals under him stood in the hall and looked at each other. It was not until a long while later that Zhu Zhongqu waved his sleeves and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible !"

Seeing Zhu Zhongqu, the "Emperor of Ming Dynasty", acting like this, all the civil servants and generals of Zhu Zhongqu's version of the Ming court immediately turned their attention to Zhu Zhongqu.

Could it be that the emperor, who is usually silent, is going to make a big fuss this time?
This is not impossible, after all, the ancients said that if you don't fly for three years, you will fly to the sky, and if you don't sing for three years, you will be a blockbuster.

What if the emperor and his old man are going to rise up today?
In the main hall, the speakers of Ruan, Huang, Mei, Dai, and Xu's families exchanged winks, intending to see what Zhu Zhongqu, the puppet emperor, was going to do.

However, Zhu Zhongqu, the "Emperor of the Ming Dynasty", after repeatedly saying that it was impossible, suddenly turned his attention to Huang Liangji, the "Daming" Zhen Guogong and the governor of the Five Armies, and asked: "I don't know if Zhen Guogong has a good opinion?" ?”

Huang Liangji was taken aback for a moment, then stood up, bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, according to my opinion, Zhu Jinsong's army will not be too many. If he really has 20 troops, why wait for us?" Form a coalition to fight him? It is estimated that they have already fought over."

Hearing what Zhen Guogong Huang Liangji said, Zhu Zhongqu, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, nodded repeatedly and said, "I think so too", and then turned his attention to Ruan Junyu, the grand master of the dynasty, who is also the speaker of the Ruan family, and asked Said: "According to the opinion of the grand master?"

Grand Master Ruan half-closed his eyes, hummed and said: "Back to the emperor, the old minister thinks so too."

Seeing that Grand Master Ruan also said the same thing, Zhu Zhongqu's heart immediately settled down, looking at Grand Master Ruan, he said: "The military and state affairs are so important, so I will thank Grand Master a lot."

When Grand Master Ruan bowed to answer, Zhu Zhongqu couldn't wait to wink at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Retire!"

Zhu Zhongqu knew very well in his heart that he was just a puppet emperor pushed by Ruan, Huang, Mei, Dai, and Xu. The real power was not in his hands at all. Even if he had any thoughts, he could hold back It's best to hold back, and no one will listen to it if you say it.

Therefore, instead of continuing to be a tool man in this court, it is better to retreat to the harem early to play.

One more day of living is one day, one more day of playing is one day.

Seeing Zhu Zhongqu leaving in a hurry, the family of Ruan, Huang, Mei, Dai, and Xu, headed by Grand Master Ruan, couldn't help but feel pain.

As the saying goes, every family has scriptures that are hard to recite, and what is going on with the Ming alliance in their own family is clear to the people who are talking about it.

In the more than 20 alliances against the Ming Dynasty, many of them are puppet emperors like Zhu Zhongqu. These emperors who are regarded as purified puppets are basically the same as Zhu Zhongqu. The mentality of the day is dawdling.

Want to attack Zhu Jinsong?Well, well, anyway, this kind of matter should be decided by the ministers and generals who are really in charge.

Presumably the same scene will also happen to more than 20 other "chaotang" rebels of the Ming alliance.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are a few who really hold real power, such as Mei Shiyao who occupies Guangxi, and Bai Ziqi who occupies Guangxi.

The problem is that these two anti-thief leaders both claim to be the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Well, there is a governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in Guangdong, and a governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in Guangxi. So which one is the real governor of Guangdong and Guangxi?

So, don't look at the fact that more than 20 rebels, large and small, have jointly formed the Daoming Alliance, and they have also pulled together an army of one million. What to say to work together to deal with Zhu Jinsong.

After looking at each other again, Grand Master Ruan invited Zhen Guogong Huang Liangji and several other representatives to his study, and then asked straight to the point: "Zhen Guogong, I don't know if you have the confidence to repel Zhu Ni's attack?" ?”

Huang Liangji shook his head and said: "If we talk about attacking each other head-on, I'm afraid that my Ming army will not be able to defeat the rebel army under Zhu Jinsong and Zhu Ni's command. However, if you want to defeat Zhu Ni, you don't necessarily have to fight them on the frontal battlefield."

Hearing what Huang Liangji said, Grand Master Ruan couldn't help being a little curious, and asked, "What does Lord Zhen Guo mean?"

Huang Liangji stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "A few days ago, I sent people to Fujian to fight against the navy under Lin Shuangwen."

"The whaling ships under Lin Shuangwen's command are quite big, but there are not many warships that can really fight at sea. Although they have a few small sampans in their hands, there are not many cannons on those small sampans. For worry."

Hearing what Huang Liangji said, Grand Master Ruan understood what was going on.

Everyone knows that Lin Shuangwen, the governor of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty, was the first to raise troops to respond to Zhu Jinsong. His real identity is actually the rebel of Tiandihui, in other words, he is the remnant of Jinyiwei who was trusted by Zhu Jinsong's rebel.

Find out what level the navy under Lin Shuangwen is, and basically you can know the level of Zhu Jinsong's navy.

To put it bluntly, Huang Liangji, the "Duke of Daming Town", had no intention of fighting head-on with Zhu Jinsong's army, but instead planned to detour to Denglai by sea.

Grand Master Ruan thinks this is okay, after all that Zhu has taken the initiative to attack Da Ming, if Da Ming doesn't give him some color, then his tail will not be up to the sky?
After thinking about it secretly, Grand Master Ruan turned his attention to Xu Wenqing, the person in charge of the Xu family: "Brother Xu, later on, ask someone to write a surrender letter in the name of our Ming emperor, and see if you can recruit Zhu Ni's subordinates." Those generals and soldiers. To be honest, I have been envious of Zhu Ni’s generals and soldiers for a long time.”

Xu Wenqing, the spokesperson of the Xu family, frowned and said, "I'm afraid it will be very difficult to recruit Zhu Ni's generals and soldiers."

"What we can think of, Emperor Qianlong must also be able to think of it. However, since Zhu Jinsong and Zhu Ni's rebellion to the present, who has heard of any precedents for his generals and soldiers to be recruited?"

"If there is, even if Zhu Ni would try every means to conceal it, Emperor Qianlong would have publicized it long ago."

Speaking of this, Xu Wenqing couldn't help but pooh again, and said bitterly: "It's also the fault of that old dog who is deaf, if he is his emperor well, the Qing Dynasty will still be his world. You say he must Isn't there something wrong with such tossing around! Nowadays, the property of the old man's family has shrunk by [-]%! [-]%! Niang Xipi!"

"The Duke of Daming Town" Huang Liangji couldn't help scolding: "Brother Xu's family's income has decreased, and my Huang's family's income has also decreased by more than half. If it weren't for that old Qianlong who had to learn from his grandfather, he would go to the south of the Yangtze River six times." , I am afraid that Zhu Ni will not rebel."

Seeing that the topic shifted from recruiting Zhu Jinsong's generals and soldiers to the shrinking of his own property, Grand Master Ruan couldn't help but look ugly.

What time is this?Still fucking thinking about those three melons and two dates?

Besides, if Zhu Jinsong couldn't afford to fight against the Qing Dynasty, wouldn't Qian Deaf and Old Dog go to Jiangnan for the sixth time?After Qian Deaf old dog really comes to Jiangnan, who of us will lose a lot of money?

The more Grand Master Ruan thought about it, the angrier he became, he couldn't help snorting and said, "It's not just Zhen Guogong and you Xu Ge who are affected."

After Huang Liangji and Xu Wenqing both laughed and stopped talking, Grand Master Ruan continued: "I have never heard of Zhu Jinsong's generals and soldiers being recruited before. That's because it was Qianlong who recruited them."

"Back then, Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the customs, and he made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. What happened?"

"So, even if the generals and soldiers under Zhu Jinsong are dissatisfied with him, they may not dare to surrender to Qianlong."

"But we are different. We are not Emperor Qianlong. The big guys are all Han Chinese. They surrendered to us. They don't have to worry about being settled by Qiu Hou, and they don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back."

"So, those who should surrender have to continue to surrender, what if it happens?"

……

Once Zhu Erdan read the letter of surrender, his heart was as messed up as if he had been trampled by tens of thousands of beasts.

He didn't even know how to face the envoy sent by Zhu Zhongqu.

If Zhu Zhongqu wanted to recruit the generals and soldiers on his side, Zhu Erdan was not incomprehensible. After all, he also had the same plan, and similar surrender documents had already been brought over, but he hadn't had time to distribute them.

But you recruited me, Zhu Erdan, for some fucking reason, bastard!

Even if all the four... 20 troops I brought surrendered, I wouldn't be able to surrender, okay?

After being silent for a while, Zhu Erdan looked at the envoy sent by Zhu Zhongqu and said, "Now we give you two choices, either surrender or die, you choose one."

The envoy sent by Zhu Zhongqu was startled, and shouted: "As the saying goes, if the two countries are at war, if you don't kill the envoy, you, you, you are just fooling around!"

But Zhu Erdan snorted coldly and scolded: "You are allowed to take me for a fool, and I am not allowed to kill people? Huh? If the two countries do not kill each other, then I ask you, what kind of two countries' war is this?" ?”

The envoy sent by Zhu Zhongqu didn't say anything about the war between the two countries, but frowned and said: "My emperor wrote clearly in the letter that as long as you are willing to lead troops to surrender, you will have endless glory and wealth. Who would treat you as a fool?" Played?"

Zhu Erdan was furious and shouted: "You all know that Lao Tzu is the younger brother of my Emperor Ming, but you still send people to recruit Lao Tzu, isn't this just taking Lao Tzu as a fool?"

The envoy sent by Zhu Zhongqu sneered, and asked back: "How dare you ask the younger brother of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, brother Ling is now honored as the Ninth Five-Year Honorable Brother, I wonder what reward you, the younger brother of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, have received? Have you ever been crowned prince?"
