Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 984 The fire is not big enough

Chongzhen was wondering.

Li Dingguo was also puzzled.

He couldn't understand the current situation.

Li Dingguo had already sorted out the news from Sichuan and sent someone to send it to the commander in chief to let him know.

But he sent people to keep an eye on the borders of Sichuan, Huguang and other places, and there were also news from spies in Chongqing.

The Great Ming Supervisor Yang Sichang has been dispatching troops and generals, constantly calling for help.

But such a long time has passed.

Li Dingguo has never seen Yang Sichang's reinforcements in Sichuan!

That's weird!

As far as he knew, Yang Sichang had a precious sword.

The favorite minister of the Ming emperor personally beheaded the fleeing generals in order to correct the Ming army's military discipline.

This weight is comparable to that of Wang Yunfeng who committed suicide before.I don't know how many times stronger.

It's fine if Wang Yunfeng can't call for reinforcements, he is a great supervisor with the power of life and death in his hands, and he can't call for reinforcements, it really can't be justified at all!
No matter how he tried to use the aid tactics around the spot, he couldn't succeed, and he was really resentful.

Li Dingguo collected all the news on the table, thinking about whether to attack Chongqing directly, and captured Yang Sichang for interrogation!
You are a waste, you can't even mobilize people, and you have no use value.

If it wasn't for your father being too old and still working for the commander in chief, I would have chopped you up and sent him a white-haired man to a black-haired man.

The mobile forces of Ming Dynasty all went to chase and kill Zhang Xianzhong, and now they are gathered at the border of Huguang and Sichuan.

Li Zicheng immediately seized the opportunity and rushed out from the deep mountains, causing another disturbance in Henan.

He took the war horse funded by He Jinchao and Zhang Xianzhong, went straight to Yongning County (now Luoning), broke through the palace, and killed King Wan'an with a single blow.

Then he ordered people to take the head of the prince and go to various places in the city to surrender.

Li Zicheng seized his family wealth, directly opened warehouses to release grain, took in the hungry people, and strengthened himself.

Henan has been suffering from famine year after year. King Li Chuang opened a warehouse here to release grain, so the news got out a little bit.

The hungry people from far and near came here with hoes on their shoulders.

The responders came like a flood.

It goes on day and night, calling a million is a rumor.

But Chuang Wang's team immediately expanded by tens of thousands of horses.

Li Zicheng was both excited and worried when he saw the endless stream of people coming to seek refuge.

What is worrying is that with so many mouths, eating the food stored in a prince's house is really not enough for a few days!

And the news spread farther, and Li Zicheng also believed that millions of people really came to seek refuge.

In Henan, there are too many people who cannot afford food.

But Li Zicheng also knew that once he had no food to support these people who were looking for him, his reputation would be ruined.

Who will believe him?

Li Zicheng could only choose to keep plundering to feed those who followed him.

Even if you want to stop, you can't stop, and you will suffer great backlash.

Li Yan recommended the talent Niu Jinxing to Li Zicheng.

Niu Jinxing suggested that Li Zicheng be punished less, relieve the hungry, and win the hearts of the people, and put forward the slogan that if the King Chuang comes, he will not pay.

At this time, Henan is a great opportunity to establish a foundation.

Compared with the Ming court's tax increase, King Li Chuang doesn't want food, and he still cares about the big guy's food, so if he doesn't go to him, who will he go to?
All over the Central Plains became a mess in an instant, and after Zhang Xianzhong left Guizhou and entered Huguang, he also wanted to do something secretly.

Yang Sichang was extremely worried. Ever since Li Zicheng started messing around again, he would wake up from time to time at night.

Although there were personal guards guarding him, Li Dingguo's move was too torturous for him to dare to sleep deeply.

Yang Sichang wrote a letter to Yuan Jixian, Fuzhi of Xunyang, saying that if the intruders leave the Central Plains, they will join Zuoge's Fifth Battalion.

Since Zuo Liangyu did not enter Sichuan, Yang Sichang saw that there was a disturbance in the Central Plains, and asked him to cooperate with Ding Qirui in killing Li Zicheng.

But Zuo Liangyu is still complaining about being sick and not moving, whoever wants to go will go, anyway, I won't go.

Yang Sichang's supervisor is probably dead in name only.

But there are really people under his command who are eager to make meritorious service, and the only remaining general, Liu Shijie, who is as fierce as a tiger, wants to hunt down and kill the remaining "Zhang Xianzhong's troops".

Never stand still because of one defeat.

Yang Sichang's perception of the Mongol who is as fierce as a tiger has greatly changed.

Look at others and look at you Zuo Liangyu, Daming still has loyal ministers!

After all, compared to Zuo Liangyu in the ninth tune, Li Guoqi was sick in the third tune, and compared with the fierce tiger with Yang Sichang at his side who took the initiative to fight, one heaven and one earth.

For such a loyal minister, Yang Sichang also felt that Zhang Xianzhong should be dealt with first, and then Li Zicheng should be dealt with.

After he has accumulated enough experience, he will fight fiercely with the hammer bandit He Jinzhao.

Yang Sichang agreed.

Just when Li Dingguo was thinking about whether to conquer Chongqing, suddenly there were officers and soldiers coming out from inside, rushing to pursue him.

Li Dingguo was overjoyed, and quickly led his troops to retreat, fleeing in the direction of Huguang, hoping to lure more officers and troops out.

When the officers and soldiers saw the thieves retreating, they really pursued them aggressively.

Meng Ruhu and the general Liu Shijie were eager for merit, and insisted on attacking regardless of the exhaustion of the soldiers.

Liu Shijie took the lead in fighting, and then followed up like a tiger.

After several confrontations, Li Dingguo retreated to the mountain, climbed up to observe, and found that the official army had no follow-up troops.

"Dingguo, let's do it."

Wearing armor, He Lan couldn't help but sneer and said:

"The enemies who dare to fight and want to be loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty are all here. No matter how much you try to lure them, you won't be able to lure them out. It's a waste of effort."

Therefore, Li Dingguo went around the enemy's rear with his elite, and gave the Ming army a surprise attack.

Liu Shijie's troops were wiped out.

Meng Xianjie, the son of a fierce tiger, was also killed.

As fierce as a tiger, he led a small number of soldiers, under the protection of Ma Zhi of the Chinese army, fled in embarrassment, losing all his seals and banners.Fleeing back to Chongqing in embarrassment.

When Yang Sichang heard the result of the battle, he was even more shocked and didn't know what to say.

The last point in his hand is that he is willing to obey his orders, agree with the generals of the Ming Emperor, and there are not many soldiers left in his hand.

Why did Zhang Xianzhong suddenly become so good at fighting?
Yang Sichang's previous plan ended before it even started.

He couldn't even pass the hurdle of "Zhang Xianzhong", let alone his ambitions to kill Li Zicheng and fight He Jinzhao later.

Liaodong Huang Taiji was not idle.

After all, he also has many spies to inquire about the news and get feedback from them.

Since Huang Taiji broke through the Daling River, he failed to make any progress in western Liaoning, and was forced to wander between Jinzhou and Youtunwei.

As the saying goes, there is no light in the east and light in the west.

He has made significant inroads on the remaining fronts.

Huang Taiji sent troops to North Korea twice, and finally made North Korea surrender completely, severed all relations between North Korea and Ming Dynasty, and completely surrendered to the Qing system.

Moreover, it also smashed Daming's defense line along the coast of Liaodong, thus solving its worries.

Also marched into Mongolia and expelled Lindan Khan of the Chahar tribe.

However, they failed to fight the Hammer bandits outside Datong, which prevented the opportunity to unify Monan Mongolia, and did not follow the original plan to make it a vassal of the Qing Dynasty.

However, Huang Taiji still repeatedly sent troops into the pass and returned with looting, which greatly consumed the vital strength of Ming Dynasty and hit the confidence of the civil servants and generals of the Ming army to resist the Qing Dynasty.

All of this demonstrates that the Qing regime, which was established for only two decades, is full of vigor and vitality, and all things are advancing.

His military power became stronger than ever.

Zhang Cunren, a Han official, was Zu Dashou's lieutenant general, and he had accompanied him in a false surrender.

After Zu Dashou fled back to Daming, he really surrendered to Huang Taiji and worked hard for Hou Jin.

During this period, he constantly suggested that Huang Taiji march into Liaodong and seize strategic places such as Songshan and Xingshan.

Now that the Qing army is strong and strong, Zhang Cunren is also honored, and he can't help boasting:
"Today, our Qing Dynasty's iron cavalry is like a cloud, and if we add Mongolian soldiers, even if we take over the world, we still have the strength to spare!"

Immediately, he suggested to Huang Taiji in public that he send troops to Songshan again to seize this strategic point.

Zhang Cunren's words are boastful, but with the rapid growth of the Qing military power, he has also increased his confidence in winning than ever before.

He firmly believed that Zu Dashou's choice was wrong!

If we had surrendered earlier, we would have been in charge of the capital long ago. How could we let that dog emperor Chongzhen continue to sit in that position?
At that time, we will all be ministers of the dragon and enter the capital to be the masters of Beijing.

As for staying in this bitter cold place in Liaodong?

Zu Dashou, you are confused!

Huang Taiji was also extremely concerned about Daming's situation, because it was related to his own interests.

Daming was declining day by day, and was beaten to death by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

Outside the customs, it was hard to breathe by the Qing Dynasty.

However, Huang Taiji hadn't found out much about the Hammer Bandit He Jinzhao.

After He Jinzhao dominated the three northwestern provinces, he suddenly disappeared.

All the limelight was overshadowed by Zhang and Li.

It is probably because he did not take any action in the military, and spent his daily life at home with his wife and concubine Dunlun.

He is really unpredictable.

In Huang Taiji's thinking, He Jinzhao should also join in the chaos of carve-up of Ming Dynasty, and absorb his own interests.

There was so much turmoil everywhere that the Ming army couldn't even put out the fire.

So Huang Taiji felt that it was the most abnormal thing for He Jinzhao not to move his nest, this person must be holding his fart!

At that time, He Jinzhao must want to be astonishing.

But Huang Taiji looked at Daming's map and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of what kind of shit He Jinzhao wanted to do?
Huang Taiji was thinking about He Jinzhao's plan, but all the civil servants and generals under him were thinking about the future plan of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Wenheng was a scholar who took the initiative to defect to Houjin when Huang Taiji conquered Datong and intended to plunder Shanxi.

Of course, at that time, he still pretended to be the king's staff officer or something, but now he also abandons this identity.

Zhang Wenheng wrote that at this time, it was a great opportunity for the Qing Dynasty to make progress in western Liaoning.

"Nowadays, all civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty are bought with money, civil officials have no strategy, and military generals have no bravery.

Those who manage soldiers and horses like to skimp on military pay, and those who manufacture weapons cut corners.

The soldiers and the common people are living a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs, and weapons and equipment cannot be used in combat at all.

The soldiers didn't have the will to fight every time they set out to fight, instead they took advantage of King Qin's opportunity to plunder blindly.

There is a saying that the Tartar thieves are like combs, and their own soldiers and horses are better than grates.

Although the Ming Dynasty has many soldiers and horses, what is the use of them?
What's more, the frontier army is dominated by eunuchs, greedy for money and likes to flatter people, punishing those who disobey him, so that they lose people's hearts.

No matter how good officials do practical things, they can't be reused and can't do things.

People with lofty ideals who have never been officials can't stand out.

In the whole of Daming, everyone lied, and everything was broken. "

Seeing Huang Taiji summoning him, Zhang Wenheng reported again:
"The land of Xuanda was hit by war, and it was hit by another disaster.

There was no one in Daming to help, and those common people ran to the hammer bandits to survive.

Mountains, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Lakes and Henan were again harassed by hammer bandits.

Even though the Ming Dynasty raised soldiers from the five provinces, they conquered and suppressed them day by day.

But the result?

Half the world is thieves, half the world is soldiers, in short, it is not Daming who occupies the whole world.

Therefore, now is a good time for the Qing Dynasty to fight for the world. "

Yang Wenheng was originally a Ming scholar who took the initiative to defect, and was reused by Huang Taiji.

He has a very clear understanding of Daming.

If it wasn't for He Jinchao who didn't make much use of scholars like him after he occupied Shanxi, he might not have been able to take the initiative to serve under Huang Taiji's command.

Huang Taiji also agreed with Yang Wenheng's words.

Even though the emperor sitting in the imperial palace of the capital wanted to do something, he didn't have a core army in his hands, and he couldn't punish the people under him for pushback, or obedience and injustice.

Huang Taiji believed that such a thing would never happen in the Qing Dynasty.

The huge Ming Dynasty has inevitably collapsed, and is rapidly becoming lonely.

Huang Taiji also wanted to join this gluttonous feast.

The current situation is also extremely favorable for the Qing Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, now that the four directions have returned home, the future troubles are over, and there is no internal worry, it is appropriate to send a large army to attack Niming.

Take a look at today's Southern Dynasty monarchs, officials and generals, who is my opponent in the Qing Dynasty? "

Zhang Wenheng wanted to assist Huang Taiji with all his strength, and after entering the customs, he could also return to his hometown in fine clothes.

The rebel He Jinzhao, who despises his status as a scholar, must be called to die without a place to bury him!

Under the current situation, Huang Taiji also agrees with Zhang Wenheng's conclusion.

It's just thinking about how to launch a new offensive to break the current stalemate.

Or take advantage of his illness to kill him, and engage in a strategic decisive battle with Daming.

Since he doesn't know what kind of shit He Jinzhao is holding back, let's ignore it for now.

Thinking too much can sometimes restrict your thinking.

Since Huang Taiji couldn't get any useful information from He Jinzhao, it was always right to attack Daming.

Because war is not just a competition between the military strength and material resources of the two sides.

It is also a wisdom game for war commanders and decision makers.

After so many years of experience, Huang Taiji is qualified to be proud of all the heroes in the world.

Even if he was defeated by He Jinzhao last time, it was because of others, not his command fault.

Through several wars in the fortress, Huang Taiji discovered that he had the ability to occupy the capital of the Ming Dynasty and destroy the Ming court, thus realizing his political ideals.

Even if you can't take over the entire Ming Dynasty, you have to take half of it and plan slowly.

In the future, we will have more strength to fight a decisive battle with He Jinchao who is entrenched in the northwest region.

Even though the two sides are currently in an alliance, Huang Taiji keeps saying that he will marry his daughter to He Jinchao.

But both sides clearly understand that once they have the opportunity to kill each other, they will not hold back.

The common enemy of both sides is Daming, and both want to annex Daming to fatten themselves.

That is to say, there is no more direct conflict of interest at present, and the two sides can still maintain superficial calm.

Now the Qing court is sharpening their knives, and they all want to make a big deal, especially those groups of Ming people who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
