The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 193 The Chief of the Rebel Army

"Fan Wencheng, go back and tell Dorgon that it is absolutely impossible for me, Zhang Xianzhong, to form an alliance with the Tartars, so tell him to die!"

Zhang Xianzhong stared at Fan Wencheng and said coldly, then looked at Niu Jinxing.

"Niu Jinxing, go back and tell Li Zicheng that you can send troops to rescue him if you want, but besides Hanzhong, he has to write a letter to Lao Tzu personally, and regard me as the leader of the rebel army, otherwise everyone will fight on their own."

Originally, Fan Wencheng and Niu Jinxing's hearts were half cold after hearing Zhang Xianzhong's previous words, but the latter words made them both heave a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter whether you form an alliance or not, as long as you don't surrender to the Ming court, you can send troops to assist the Chuang army.

As for Wang Chuang's obscenity in writing letters, admitting that he is the eldest brother does not have much impact on the overall situation, it depends on Wang Chuang's own opinion.

But both of them have reached this point, Zhang Xianzhong still can't forget to be the leader of the rebel army, and he is speechless if he wants to overwhelm King Chuang.

How did the two of them know that for Li Zicheng, a rising star in the rebel army, he actually overwhelmed himself and wanted to get rid of him, Zhang Xianzhong has always had a heart.

After all, when Zhang Xianzhong rebelled, Li Zicheng was still in the station. When the 36 alliances were formed, Zhang Xianzhong was also one of the core leaders.

And Li Zicheng is just a general under the tent of Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, and his status is not the same as that of Zhang Xianzhong.

After Gao Yingxiang, the third general leader of the rebel army, was arrested and taken to Lingchi in the capital, in Zhang Xianzhong's view, it was his turn to be the general leader.

But later, Li Zicheng didn't follow the rules at all, relying on the large number of soldiers and horses, not only killed Luo Rucai and other leaders of the rebel army, but also wanted to kill him, it was extremely despicable and shameless.

So after deciding not to completely submit to the Ming court, Zhang Xianzhong wanted to make up for his original regrets, and at the same time let Li Zicheng bow his head to him, and give Luo Rucai and other old brothers an outlet.

But Niu Jinxing and Fan Wencheng didn't say much, and immediately left and returned to Chang'an.

Back in Chang'an, Li Zicheng was so furious that Zhang Xianzhong even wanted to humiliate him at this point.

However, under the persuasion of Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, he finally gritted his teeth and wrote a letter, claiming to be a younger brother, calling Zhang Xianzhong Brother Zhang, supporting him as the leader of the rebel army, and asking Niu Jinxing to make another trip.

After reading King Chuang's letter, Zhang Xianzhong laughed heartily, and he didn't hesitate any longer.

Ask Sun Kewang to take Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi to lead an army of 20 troops to station in Hanzhong first, and begin to mobilize food and grass to Hanzhong.

And Li Dingguo led the remaining [-] troops to station in Sichuan to guard against Qin Lihua and Li Dakai of Shizhu.

Obviously, this time the Great Western Army was desperate. Not only did they not take the opportunity to capture Shizhu, Yunnan and Guizhou, but instead sent [-]% of their troops to the Northwest to jointly attack Henan and Shanxi.

Because both Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang understood that if Chuangjun and Jiannu were defeated, even if they conquered the entire Southwest, they would be desperate.

Li Dingguo also agrees with this. Neither Yunnan nor Guizhou can shake the foundation of Ming Dynasty. Although Huguang can be shaken, there are still 10,000+ troops in Jiangnan who can support Huguang at any time.

Hong Niangzi always paid attention to every move in the southwest, northwest and northeast, and Jin Yiwei also continuously sent information from the three places back to the capital.

"Sister Noble Concubine, this time the Jurchen Tartars are coming aggressively and threatening to kill all of my people. I, the Tumed Department alone, will be absolutely irresistible. You can't just ignore death."

Since the release of the Manchu Manchu document, the Tumo Special Department has sent envoys to the capital to ask for help. Bu Shitu died last year, and the husband is not around, so Duo'er is anxious to beg Hong Niangzi every day.

"Sister Duo'er, don't worry, the court will definitely not ignore death, not to mention that the army of Jiannu is still gathering, it's still early."

The red lady waved her hand, and was annoyed by her too.

In fact, from the bottom of her heart, Hong Niangzi didn't want to save Tu Mote's troops. If she wanted to save them, she would only put on a show, instead of sending all the elite troops to the north of the Great Wall to fight a decisive battle with the Tartars.

Because at this time it is not cost-effective to go out to the Great Wall and fight the Tartars. It does not mean that the fight cannot be won, but that it is not yet time.

It's okay to win the battle, but once the battle is lost, the situation will get out of hand, and the reunification of the southwest and northwest will be postponed.

Therefore, the wise approach is to rely on the Great Wall to defend, let Jiannu and Tumote fight to death, concentrate the army, capture Chang'an with a thunderbolt, wipe out the intruders, and then take advantage of the situation to attack the southwest.

As long as the two anti-kings are wiped out, even if Jiannu wipes out the Tumote tribe and reunifies Mongolia, the Ming army can concentrate on a decisive battle with them, and the Ming army will always remain invincible and firmly firmly control the initiative of the war.

But Hong Niangzi knew that the little emperor attached great importance to Tu Mote's department, and his love for Duo'er was not feigned, so she didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, and could only report the situation to Zhu Cihong, waiting for a response.

Anyway, they can afford it, and it won't be a problem to wait a year or two.

At this time, the army of building slaves has also gathered in the area north of Jinzhou and west of Liaohe River, and cavalry from various tribes in Mobei who came to join the alliance are also coming in a steady stream.

The establishment of slaves this time is indeed a national soldier, because Dorgun knows that if this opportunity is missed, the Qing will never enter the Central Plains, defeat the Ming army, or even be wiped out by the Ming army in the end.

Therefore, only [-] Eight Banner cavalry and [-] Han soldiers were left in North Korea, and Duoduo was left behind, while the other Han soldiers and cavalry were transferred back to the Northeast.

After nearly two years of conquest and conquest, coupled with a series of operations by Hong Chengchou, North Korea has now completely settled down. Except for the navy who fled to Jeju Island, Jiannu has no way to do it for the time being, and all other resisting forces have been wiped out.

Two years of bloody killings wiped out most of the gentry and landlords in North Korea, and the rest were soft bones. They obediently chose to shave their hair and change their clothes to serve as slaves to the Manchu Qing to assist the Manchu Qing in managing various places.

For the management of North Korea, the Manchu Qing adopted the bannermen as the chief officials of one place, and the surrendered North Korean landlord officials were responsible for assisting the chief officials in handling civil affairs. The garrisons in various places were mainly Han Chinese, and some North Korean soldiers were recruited to assist.

The same was adopted in the Ming Dynasty's Weisuo Tuntian system. The Han people all divided the land and women to serve as officers at all levels. The Korean soldiers were the same as the Ming Dynasty military households. [-]% of the food was handed over and [-]% went to individuals.

So now the Han people in North Korea are devoted and loyal to the Manchus, even more loyal than the Mongols. On the contrary, the real Eight Banners warriors are very corrupt. Soldiers go to suppress it. In a few years, I am afraid that it is true that we will not be able to draw a bow or ride a horse.

Both Dorgon and Duoduo were worried about this, but they had no choice but to rely more on the Han and Mongols.

This is also the reason why Dorgon only left [-] real Eight Banners warriors in the huge North Korea.

Seeing that the Ming army had not moved for a long time, Dorgon did not dare to rush westward. Instead, he chose to stay still and wait for the Ming army to make a decision before marching.

After all, if he led the army recklessly to attack the Tumed tribe, the Ming army waited for them to cross the Xuanfu, and then suddenly rushed out from the Xuanfu to cut off the army's back. walk.
