I have a cornucopia

Chapter 56 God’s grace is so great!

Texas.

Bai Guangen, who had woken up from a coma, looked at Yang Feng surrounded by his own soldiers with a gloomy face, as if looking at Lao Wang next door. He knew that the hearts of his own soldiers could no longer come back.

Like a woman who has changed her heart.

And now he still has to smile, like an old man who is happy to be a father...

"Commander, I will kill Tong Tulai at the end of the formation!"

His personal officer named Liu Hu picked up Tong Tulai's head and threw it at his feet, and said with a proud look on his face.

"Okay, okay, what a wonderful feat!"

Bai Guangen said with a smile.

Then behind Liu Hu, his soldiers proudly threw down their heads one after another.

As for the gold, silver and jewelry in your arms, there is no need to take them out.

"The governor commanded well, and the soldiers of all ministries fought bravely to kill the enemy. The victory was great in Dezhou. Tens of thousands of captives were defeated. Thousands of Liu Hu were recruited. The general of the captives, Tong Tulai, was beheaded. Countless soldiers were beheaded. They played fast music and fired cannons to welcome the governor. Triumph.”

Cheng Xinzhen immediately shouted excitedly.

It was as if Bai Guangen had really gone.

Then immediately behind them drums and drums began to beat.

Amidst the celebratory drums and salutes, Mr. Bai laughed as hard as he cried.

His son!

His son Bai Liangbi is still with Jianlu!

Now he was dead. Although Huang Taiji really wanted to win over him and treated his son quite favorably, and asked his son to write him a letter to persuade him to surrender, he still had to kill him after this battle. Tong Tulai is not a surrendered Han general. He is a true confidant of the Tong family who has been with him since he started fighting in the wild boar skin. Now his subordinates are attacking Tong Tulai. Even if Huang Taiji still wants to win over him, the Tong family will not let him go. His son. Besides, he had achieved such a great victory, and Huang Taiji couldn't possibly want to win over him. His son was no longer useful, but he could have killed him with a thousand cuts and fulfilled the Tong family's wish.

This son is dead.

However, his own contribution is indispensable, so he will be promoted to a higher rank soon.

In short, Mr. Bai's mood at this moment is also very complicated.

He silently looked at Yang Feng walking by.

The latter was not involved in the matter at all. Surrounded by a group of local Texas gentry and the knights of Confucius and Mencius who had just entered the city, he walked straight past them...

"Fengsheng, there is news from the capital that His Majesty may issue a decree to summon us."

Su Dunsheng looked at Bai Guangen, and then whispered.

He had just arrived, and Bai Guangen had already woken up when he arrived, so he still didn't know how much damage Yang Feng had caused to Bai Zongbing's mind and body.

"Summoned?"

Yang Feng smiled slightly.

"What Fang Haike means is that we don't need to worry about what happens next. The knights will return to Qufu immediately. When the imperial edict comes, they will use the excuse of bandits to attack Qufu, so there is no need to go north.

It happened that there was indeed a group of bandits entrenched in Baodugu in the Yicheng area. "

Su Dunsheng said.

Obviously old guys like Fang Kezhuang are also aware of the consequences of summoning them. When the leading scholars like Yang Feng came to Beijing, Chongzhen heard about their achievements and directly issued an order to use them in an unusual way, and each person was given an official of medium or small. Then just throw it to other provinces. Although he was not a Jinshi candidate or even a Gongsheng student, of course, Su Dunsheng was actually a Gongsheng student, but this kind of thing was nothing more than Chongzhen's words that when the time came, Yang Feng's father would be martyred for the country and he would be granted admission to the Imperial Academy.

Then you can be granted a shadowy title, and similarly a Gongsheng student like Su Dunsheng can be directly granted an official title.

Get rid of these leaders.

As for what is left, it is nothing more than an imperial edict of dissolution.

In the final analysis, the key lies in Yang Feng.

By this time, his true identity had probably been secretly revealed to Chongzhen by Fan Zhiwan, Wang Yongji, Yan Shenggong and others. It was impossible for Chongzhen to still regard him as some sudden loyalty.

"You return to Qufu immediately. After this battle, you have to deal with the bandits in various places. You go back and suppress them first. No more troubles will occur. Moreover, I am afraid that Li Zicheng will have to turn around and go north. There will be chaos in the north. Even if he goes straight to the capital, it is not impossible. We have to repair the city defense quickly. Go back and tell Fang Kezhuang that now is not the time to worry about money. Building city walls, casting cannons, and recruiting local warriors are all essential. If you spend money, you can still make money. If you lose your life, you will lose everything. Like This kind of thing cannot happen again with Zhang Hongde."

Yang Feng said.

Lao Zhang is indeed of great use, at least the wealthy gentry everywhere have begun to reflect on it.

But it's of no use.

Once they stabilize, they will quickly forget about it and fall back into their old ways.

"Li Zicheng went north to the capital?"

Su Dunsheng said with some surprise.

Obviously this possibility was beyond his expectation.

"Doesn't his rebellion want to end? He has been a rebel for more than ten years, does he still want to die?

There are only two outcomes for this kind of thing. One is that the emperor takes turns and comes to my house today. The other is that he kills people and sets fires and is recruited. With his current status, I am afraid that it cannot be solved by an inspection. It is indispensable to break the earth and become the king.

But no matter what he wanted, he had to place the cannon outside Zhengyang Gate.

You still had to find a way to write a letter to Shibo, telling him that Sun Chuanting could not be allowed to leave Shaanxi no matter what. Sun Chuanting could not defeat Li Zicheng, but his troops were watching in Shaanxi, and Li Zicheng did not dare to go north. Once Sun Chuanting leaves Tongguan and is wiped out in Henan, and Li Zicheng is no longer restrained, he will really go straight to the capital. As for the gentry in Northern Zhili..."

Yang Feng sighed.

Then he patted Su Dunsheng on the shoulder...

"When that time comes, they will open the city gate and show off the Emperor Dashun for thousands of years."

He said.

Of course, Su Jing is useless.

Even if Su Jing changed his historical approach and instead of urging Sun Chuanting to leave the country, it would be useless to insist on sticking to Shaanxi with him.

One thing is that Chongzhen must ask him to leave Tongguan. His Majesty the Emperor was still immersed in his grand plans and did not know the reality at all. Besides, Sun Chuanting did not leave Tongguan, and Li Zicheng did not dare to go north to the capital, so he had no choice but to go south again. He can basically say that he already owns Henan and most of Hubei. He will soon be crowned the King of Xinshun in Xiangyang. The only options before him are to go north and south. If you can't go north, you have to go south, just cross the Dabie Mountains and go straight to the Yangtze River. Therefore, for the ministers in Jiangnan, Huaiyang, and Jiangxi, they must ask Sun Chuanting to come out. If he wins, everyone will be reborn, and if he loses, Li Zicheng will go straight to the capital. , the worst case scenario is for everyone to go back to the south. If Chongzhen is willing to go south, it's better. Feng Yuanyang has even prepared a boat for him. If he doesn't want to go south, it's okay. There are plenty of princes and clan members. In the end, everyone has had enough of serving this emperor.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting must be allowed to leave Tongguan.

Second, the Shaanxi gentry did not want to do anything. They had to drive Sun Chuanting out even if they wanted to.

This guy has already attacked their land.

Frustrated!

They all began to clean up the military households' property they had occupied.

What else do you want to do in the future?

But this kind of thing must be fought for after all.

Even if Li Zicheng comes to Beijing a few months later, it will be fine, because Huang Taiji will die this year, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is in internal strife after Fulin succeeds to the throne. Although Gungun did gain power with the support of his sister Da Yuer, he does not have full internal support. he. The invasion at the end of the year was not led by Gungun but Jierhalang, but it didn't yield much. Although it hit Qiantun, it was unable to solve Wu Sangui's problem in Ningyuan. It also had no ability to break through Shanhaiguan, so it could only withdraw its troops. According to North Korea, People record that he was attacked by Wu Sangui on the way back. It turned out that the Manchus had unlucky luck in history. At the most important moment of their internal fighting, Li Zicheng entered Beijing, and then everyone gave up the internal fighting without hesitation and went south to enter the country. After all, infighting is nothing more than not sharing enough interests, but there are so many unlimited benefits that can be divided when going south, so why not fight with each other? Hurry up and go south to grab it!

With a mountain of gold in front of them, who is still in the mood to fight for those three melons and two dates?

but……

What if it takes a few months?

How about even delaying it for a year?

After experiencing the failure of this battle, they did not gain much this time, but suffered heavy losses. Then the internal conflicts will intensify. Huang Taiji can suppress them while he is alive, but it will be difficult to suppress them once he is dead.

It might lead to civil strife.

Anyway, try your best. Anyway, the worst is the result in the original history.

Let’s treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!

"then you?"

Su Dunsheng asked.

"Me? Doesn't His Majesty the Emperor want to summon you? I will go to Beijing myself."

Yang Feng said.

"Feng Sheng, Fang Haike specifically asked you not to take risks alone."

Su Dunsheng said hurriedly.

"After all, he is also the former deputy censor of the capital. Wei Zhongxian's Donglin point general was also listed as a loyal minister of Tiangang. Why are you so worried about your majesty? I just went to the capital, and I didn't break into the den of thieves. Why? Are you going to be in danger alone?"

Yang Feng said.

Su Dunsheng also laughed.

Of course, everyone actually understood that Fang Kezhuang also had good intentions, he was just too familiar with officialdom.

Yang Feng came to Beijing alone, so he could just find an excuse and win.

But Su Dunsheng really didn't care about this either.

With Yang Feng's fighting power, what warriors in the imperial court can capture him? It would be more successful to reward him with dozens of beauties and then drain him dry before taking action. The worries of people like Fang Kezhuang are completely unnecessary.

"Zhou Yanru must be killed. His staying in the court is not good for us. I will go to Beijing to find a way. You go back and ask Fang Kezhuang, Fan Fucui and other officials from Shandong who contacted the capital to cooperate with me. We have to find a way to get a north. If the chief assistant comes up, even if he is not from the north, he cannot be from the south of the Yangtze River. They have no interest in caring about the life and death of us in the north. They just want us to be a shield, break us up, and help them."

Yang Feng said.

Zhou Yanru was originally forced to resign in May due to the failure of this war in history, and was sentenced to death by Chongzhen at the end of the year to settle accounts. But now with this great victory, it is estimated that he will not be forced to resign, but his presence in office is indeed detrimental to Yang Feng's plan. Especially under the current situation, Zhou Yanru would not support open team training. After all, Yang Feng had openly threatened them. Even for this tone and to suppress the arrogance of the Shandong gentry, Zhou Yanru would not let the Knights of Confucius and Mencius legalization. Therefore, he must be dealt with first. It is best to solve it through normal internal fighting in the court. If not, the worst is to kill him. In fact, the main reason why he is not killed simply is that Yang Feng does not want to scare his allies yet, and he has to behave normally. .

His violent style is external.

Internally, he had to let the Shandong gentry treat him as an innocent young man. As for revealing his true colors, at least he had to wait until he stabilized Shandong.

Kill Zhou Yanru directly...

If your current chief assistant dares to kill you, then of course the former chief assistant will kill him like a dog.

This round of Qing army's invasion of Shandong is now completely over. They have gained nothing but suffered heavy losses.

Although Kong Youde's losses were not great, he was beheaded by more than a thousand people, especially Tong Tulai.

In total, they have captured a Zhenguo Duke, seriously injured a Lord Beile, beheaded a Gushan, and a former Gushan. The total number of beheadings and prisoners is more than 11,000. The original total of the invading army was 50,000. It can be said that They lost nearly one-third, which can almost be said to be disabled. Even considering their current full strength, this loss can be said to be a heavy blow...

The strength of the Qing army has actually been tense.

In the ninth year of Tiancong, which was the eighth year of Chongzhen, the total number of young men and women was only 60,000 horse steps.

When Dorgon went south, he even ordered everyone under seventy and ten years old to dispatch.

Even female soldiers are often used.

In particular, a large number of soldiers were incorporated into the Han army. Before the Mongols, at most, one third of the soldiers were female soldiers.

It tastes like the founding of the country.

The men fought in the front, while the women and children were responsible for cutting off the heads.

In a sense, the Qing Dynasty actually succeeded by relying on the Mongolian and Han armies. Without the Mongolian and Han armies, it would have been impossible for them to enter the Pass. In the 14th year of Shunzhi, the Eight Banners in Manchuria only had more than 40,000 people. That is to say At present, the maximum number of Eight Banners in Manchuria is this number, and it cannot be higher. In the 14th year of Shunzhi, the new generation at this time had grown up.

Therefore, at least half of the Qing troops entering the Pass were Eight Banners Mongolian and Han troops.

As for the ensuing battle, there were basically no surprises. Kong Youde's troops avoided the Fifth General Soldier of the Ming Army who was pursuing Abatai and crossed the Daqing River at Yuanjiakou. Abatai had already gone north to Tianjin. Although they tried their best to sweep the villages along the way, they did not dare to attack any city. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of troops behind them, and they lacked supplies and were unable to attack. The two Han Bing forces that bypassed the Triangle Lake met at Baodi. Fortunately, they happened to meet the General Soldier and the Recommendation Department who rushed to Tianjin to stop the attack at the urging of Zhou Yanru. In this way, the unlucky General Soldier and General Soldier became their punching bag. In the end, the General Soldier and General Soldier were killed in the battle of Baodi and the army was defeated.

It is also rare to give the Qing army some blood.

After joining forces at Baodi, the Qing army went straight to Jizhou. Lu Daqi, the minister of war, led his army to stop the attack at Luoshan. However, because they were all hastily recruited rabble, they were easily defeated by the Qing army.

Then the Qing army went north to exit the customs.

It was already March of the 16th year of Chongzhen.

As for the Knights of Confucius and Mencius, they withdrew in Texas. They were protecting the Confucius Temple and were not official troops of the imperial court. They had no obligation to go abroad to fight. Besides, there were young men from Beizhili led by Fan Jingwen to the north. The Knights of Confucius and Mencius had to go back quickly. Continue to guard Qufu.

Yang Daxun, who led the Shandong General War Headquarters, still followed Zhao Guangbian in pursuit of Kong Youde, but basically did not participate in the battle along the way. He didn't catch up. As for Yang Feng, of course he continued to follow his uncle. This was to help his uncle. Finally, in Yangcun, he received the imperial decree summoned to Beijing by Chongzhen.

A scholar was specially summoned by the emperor...

God’s grace is so great!
