Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 342

The battlefields of Shaanxi and Tongguan can be said to be the most chaotic areas in East Asia. Hundreds of thousands of officials and bandits are mixed together, and hundreds of thousands of people lose their lives every day.This time the imperial court mobilized a large army to attack the intruders, which intensified the tragedy here. Except for the rogues of the 36th Battalion, some other large and small rogues rushed to Shanxi, Sichuan, Gansu, etc. because they could not bear the confrontation between the two big forces. fled.

In the chaos, there are countless spies haunting and gathering intelligence for various forces.Among them are the spies of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, the spies of various large rogue groups, and the spies of the Fu Liao Army who are secretly contributing to the flames.They passed on the changes on the battlefield to their superiors non-stop.

Chu Yun was in a remote place like Eastern Liaodong, so the intelligence was a bit lagging behind. However, given that the ancient army fought in a constant confrontation and seesaw for several months, this lag time is still acceptable.

"According to the information from the first generation of spies we placed in Shaanxi, the peasant uprising army retreated one after another after Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao divided their forces to attack. As a result, Hong Chengchou saw the opportunity and personally led the troops to pursue them lightly. It turned out that the Ming Dynasty The insurgents, whose soldiers were so powerful, were overtaken by Hong Chengchou in the Fufeng area, and then encountered an overwhelming massacre by Hong Chengchou's Qin army, with tens of thousands of casualties..." Aila reported to Chu Yun the intelligence department's information on the Shaanxi battlefield.

"These incompetent guys, it's been two years, and they still retreat blindly when they encounter officers and soldiers, and they don't even have any aggressiveness. I really don't know how long I will wait here for them to attack the capital." Chu Seeing that Hong Chengchou hoisted up the 36th Battalion to fight again, he became more and more disappointed with the peasant uprising army.

Class limitations make them lack strategic vision.

"However, Li Zicheng's army, which we mainly support, has an ambiguous attitude in this battle..." Aila said.

"Oh? What is Li Zicheng doing ambiguously?" Chu Yun asked.

"According to the information, Li Zicheng's troops retreated calmly and confronted the Ming army led by Cao Wenzhao, but there was no large-scale battle. They were the only troops in the 36th Battalion that were able to retreat completely." Ella said.

Get out of the way?It must be to preserve strength.After thinking about it for a while, Chu Yun could roughly deduce what Li Zicheng wanted to do.

"I didn't expect Li Zicheng to annex his own people. Probably he was also disappointed with the group of pig teammates. Haha, as far as I expected, there will be twists and turns in the Shaanxi battlefield soon, and the offensive and defensive trends will be reversed. I don't know how What kind of mood will Emperor Chongzhen feel when he is up and down all the time." Thinking of this, Chu Yun continued to feel sorry for Emperor Chongzhen.

"Master, do we still want to secretly sell firearms to Li Zicheng with the help of merchants?" Aila asked.

"Sell, this time we have to sell a lot of firearms, and throw all the obsolete and defective products we have backlogged in the warehouse to him. I don't think there will be major changes in the customs within a year at most." Chu Yun shot He patted the table, "By the way, don't forget to increase the price..."

The news that the Ming army regained Xi'an City and restored order in the Heluo area quickly spread to the court.But it was after Chu Yun got the news.

"Okay, well, Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao really lived up to my expectations and successfully recaptured the city of Xi'an and wiped out thousands of rogues. Now the rogues are terrified and fleeing with their heads in their arms. There is hope for Ming ZTE!" Emperor Chongzhen read the memorial, and Longyan was delighted.

"This is the holy majesty, who is blessed with great blessings and commanding well!" Of course, all the officials of the imperial court wanted to praise him.

"Order the generals in Shaanxi to continue their efforts and fight to northern Shaanxi in one go to completely wipe out the rebels in northern Shaanxi!" Chongzhen said.

"..." The civil and military officials were silent this time.

"Why are you Aiqing silent?" Chongzhen was a bit petty.

"Your Majesty, the matter of suppressing bandits is not something that can be resolved in a short time. It is better to wait until the food, grass, money and food are in place, and then let Hong Chengchou urge the generals to advance step by step and cut off the rebels in northern Shaanxi one by one." The Minister of the Ministry of War said.

"My minister seconded that the turnover of food and grass took many days and required a lot of manpower and material resources. In order to support the army to go west from Tongguan, more than [-] civilians were recruited, and the daily consumption of food and grass was huge, which was unsustainable. It is better to let Hong Chengchou temporarily garrison Xi'an City, reclaim fertile land, appease the victims, and gradually make progress in the future." Said the Minister of the Household Department.

"Everyone wants me to wait, but do I have so much time?!" Chongzhen's face gradually became gloomy, and his tone became sharper, "I dispatched some frontier troops from Ningyuan and Datong to Tongguan to assist Hong Chengchou in suppressing the bandits. Every day they stay in Shaanxi means that the Ningyuan and Datong defense lines are in danger for one more day. The Liao army outside the pass is comparable to wolves, tigers and leopards, and it is infinitely more dangerous than the group of intruders jumping up and down!"

"..." The civil and military officials were speechless again.

This is not a question of who is right and who is wrong, but a dead end!Although I don't want to admit it anymore, the current fact is that Ming Dynasty is fighting on two fronts. The Liaodong Army in Liaodong and the 36th Battalion in Northern Shaanxi have held back a large number of imperial troops.The imperial court has only a few effective troops. No matter which direction more troops are invested, it means that the other direction has fewer troops.

"In order to get rid of the thieves and clowns as soon as possible, Hong Chengchou and the others are ordered to march immediately and pacify northern Shaanxi within half a month. I have made up my mind, and you don't need to say more." Chongzhen said.

"My sage is wise..." At this time, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs couldn't say much.

"By the way, is there any news about the envoys who were sent to Liaodong last time?" Chongzhen remembered the envoys who were sent to Liaodong, so he asked, "Wen Aiqing, are you responsible for this matter?"

"It's Weichen who is in charge. Er..." Wen Tiren replied hesitantly.

"Why is Wen Aiqing hesitating? If this goes on like this, I will punish you for offending you." Chongzhen, who was angry, was a little displeased.

"If you go back to the emperor, I have already received a letter from the envoys to Liaodong, and they will return to the capital in a few days, but... I am guilty! I made a mistake in recommending someone, and I ask the emperor to punish me!" Wen Tiren said suddenly Just knelt down.

"What's your crime?" Chongzhen didn't expect that something really happened.

"My minister is guilty. My minister recommended Sun Chuanting as the head of the envoy, but I didn't expect him... He actually colluded with the Liao Army and took this opportunity to stay outside the pass." Wen Tiren bowed his head to the ground, not daring to bear Chongzhen's words. anger.

Chongzhen was also stunned for a while before reacting: "These thieves actually took the opportunity to defect?! Could it be that my mighty Ming Dynasty can't even keep a Jinshi?! Where is his family?!"

"Your Majesty, his family members in Dai County, Shanxi have been picked up by the Liao Army ahead of time..."
