Win the Ding 1617

Li Zicheng was in a great mood.

After Luo Hu led the army to arrive in time to stabilize the local war situation in Jingdong, they even started negotiations with Longsheng Li Peiting.Negotiations failed, and the two sides started a big battle in Guangyang, Dong'an and other places.

According to Luo Hu's words, "Since your thousands of elites who were beaten by the Liao thieves from Liaodong to Shandong need compensation, then don't we need more compensation for the elites who drove the Liao thieves back from Shandong to Liaodong? Should we compensate Shandong?" ?”

Everyone leads troops to fight, since the words are not speculative, then solve the problem on the battlefield.Even though the two teams started a fierce battle.

At the beginning, the situation was stalemate, the two sides tested each other, and each had a lot of casualties.But both of them were clenching their teeth and persisting among the shells.

However, the weaknesses of the soldiers and horses of Nanyue appeared under the eyes of Gao Yigong and Luo Hu who have been on the battlefield for a long time!In addition to the lack of artillery fire, it was found that the formation of recruits in Nanzhong (that is, those mobilized soldiers) was loose and flawed, so the dragoons were urgently maneuvered to the flanks of the recruit line, and then the dragoons took the lead, and the cavalry wall was behind the recruit line. To launch an impact, when the cavalry attack is completed, the infantry phalanx that has been formed will launch an attack under the cover of intensive artillery fire and then defeat the recruit line in one fell swoop.Li Peiting's thousands of men and horses were defeated, so they could only retreat under the protection of the navy and land battalion, and led the new soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp back to Tianjin.

Several general soldiers originally planned to take advantage of the situation to beat the dog in the water, but they were warned by Luo Hu that it is fine to send the guests back to Tianjin, but don't think about taking advantage of it, it is good not to be bitten.

Controlling the soldiers and horses of his subordinates, Gao Yigong ordered several general soldiers to lead their troops about ten miles away from Li Peiting's defeated soldiers, and slowly followed eastward, picking up the wounded soldiers who fell behind and the discarded luggage along the way.For those soldiers and horses who fell behind, Gao Yigong gave an order, "No beatings, no insults, no pocket searches. You must treat each other with courtesy."

Luo Hu himself led the troops himself, passed Li Peiting's retreating team, and rushed towards the northeast.In Xianghe, Sanhe, Yutian, Baodi, Jizhou, Fengrun, Qian'an, Kailuan, Guye, Zunhua and other places, the Ming troops stationed there surrendered one after another.The soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion pointed directly at the direction of Luanzhou, and the blades pressed towards Wu Sangui's back.

The Ming army in Tianjin, which troubled Li Zicheng's monarch and ministers, and the Guanning army near Shanhaiguan joined together as one, and was beaten by Luo Hu with three punches and two kicks.

Gao Yigong and Luo Hu jointly submitted a report to Li Zicheng in Beijing.

"With Mr. Li's temperament, he should order someone to renegotiate. After all, he will be asking for a lot of money, but he will restrain himself a lot after all." This is what Luo Hu and Gao Yigong wrote to Li Zicheng, please Li Zicheng Set the conditions for negotiations with the Southern Army as soon as possible.

Almost after Luo Hu repelled Li Peiting, Shandong had a congratulatory form and a letter of persuasion that made Niu Jinxing and others very excited.It was written by the Confucius family in Qufu, Shandong.The place where the signature was signed was Kong Yinzhi, the Duke of Yansheng.

As a family under heaven that has survived for thousands of years, they have the highest titles with different surnames in the Ming Dynasty—the official positions of Duke, Prince and Taifu. Kong Yinzhi, the Duke of Yansheng in the Confucian Mansion far away in Shandong, saw Li Zicheng enter the capital, and immediately went to see Li Zicheng. Presented the "Encouraging Advancement Form", and ordered Kong Zhenkan, the world official magistrate of Qufu, to order that the dragon throne of Emperor Yongchang of Dashun Kingdom be enshrined in temples and schools in Qufu City.And this person went to Beijing to offer the seal.

At the same time, in order to express his sincere support for Dashun, besides donating the seal letter issued to them by Zhu Yuanzhang, Yan Shenggong also took the initiative to present horses and silver to transport them there. According to the money and grain system promulgated by the Dashun court, Fu Zhuangzi turned over the money and grain to the servants, and became a good citizen who actively took the lead in paying taxes.To express the respect and loyalty to the new imperial court.

"Respectful in residence, respectful in deacons, and loyal to others. Even if you live in barbarians, you must not abandon it." The ancestors of the Kong family said these words to others, and it was the Kong family's turn to say: "I am different, there is nothing to do." There is nothing wrong with it.” In fact, it is translated into adult words: Whoever gives the bone is the master, regardless of whether he is a human or an animal.This is why the Confucian family survived for thousands of years.No matter how the dynasty changes, as long as I can keep my rights and status, we will sing whatever you want to hear. (On this point, practitioners in the entertainment industry really need to learn professional ethics and conduct from Yansheng Gongfu.)

They sent letters of loyalty, money, food and horses from thousands of miles away, and they also actively stated that all their land tenants in the Gyeonggi area will be handled in accordance with Dashun's fiscal and taxation system.Such a good gesture is a milestone in winning the hearts of scholars all over the world.At the moment, under Niu Jinxing's suggestion, Li Zicheng encouraged Kong Zhenkan very warmly. Not only was he awarded the "Staff Committee Member as usual", but he was also awarded the title of Tongzhi and the treatment of a fifth-rank robe.

"Mr. Wu, you have come from thousands of miles, and your horses and cars are exhausted. You should have a good rest for two days, but things are too complicated right now. I, Marquis Ru, and Lin Quan are busy with military affairs and other matters. This matter of people's livelihood and government affairs is not easy. It's going to be hard on you."

Wu Xing came from Shanxi Starry Night, which really made Li Zicheng feel a lot lighter.Niu Jinxing and others are not as good at handling government affairs as they are with their words and pens.

"Your Majesty, General Luo Hu captured more than ten cities in the east of Jingdong, and cut off the land passages of the Ming army in Tianjin and Shanhaiguan. The surrender of the Ming army in Jizhen and other places is tantamount to cutting off an arm of Wu Sangui. Therefore, I think, At the moment, we should quickly send people to bring official seals, food, rice, and wealth to Ji Town, Yutian Town, etc., comfort the officials and generals who have surrendered, and give more rewards to the soldiers to calm their minds."

"Yes! Mr. Wu, you can order the official government, the military government, and the household government under your control to come up with a charter number, and I promise it!"

"In addition, Wu Sangui, the Liaodong General Soldier stationed in the direction of Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan, is the last elite army of the Ming army north of the Yangtze River, and it is located in a key place. In my humble opinion, I still send envoys to appease It is."

On the carriage coming to Beijing, Wu Xing had a relatively clear understanding of the situation around Beijing through the oral descriptions of the soldiers of the imperial camp and the letters of Li Yan, Gao Yigong, Liu Zongmin and others.It is precisely because he is outside the chaotic situation in the capital that he is more clear and calm about how to deal with such a chaotic situation.

"Send an envoy to recruit? This matter should be feasible. But who is the right person to send?"

"Your Majesty, when Mr. Wu said this, my old Liu suddenly became enlightened. Why don't you send Tang Tong, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty, who is also in the Ji Liao army, and has a karmic relationship with Wu Sangui. Your Majesty may wish to use Tang Tong as the envoy to order Chen De was the deputy envoy. He took the imperial decree and a sum of military pay to Shanhaiguan to recruit Wu Sangui to surrender, as the imperial court's minion and wings."

Tang Tong surrendered at Juyongguan, while Chen De and his father Chen Yongfu surrendered at Kaifeng.Chen Yongfu is now also made an earl. Sending these two people to Shanhaiguan to surrender can play an unexpected role.Especially Chen De, rumors spread that he shot Li Zicheng blind in one eye.Li Zicheng asked him to deal with Wu Sangui, "Even the people who shot me can be used by my subordinates. You have no grudges with me in the past, so why worry about not being able to use them again?"

Chen De is Yong Chi of the Dashun Dynasty. (For the grievances between Yong Chi and Liu Bang, you can read the Han Shu by yourself and you will know.)

Two groups of people were arranged to go east to recruit and appease the remnants of the Ming army in various parts of Jingdong.Wu Xing took out a manuscript from the sleeve of his robe, "Your Majesty, this is the amount of food, grass, and money that I have obtained in various places in Shanxi these days. The grain and rice are several million shi, which can be used for two months by the troops of the Eastern Expedition. The money can be used to pay the army It's been more than a year. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

Li Zicheng took the manuscript overjoyed, and looked at the line numbers on it with great joy. These grains, rice and silver coins are enough to support his army to go south along the North China Plain, or go straight out of Jianghuai from Henan, Or go directly to Shandong from Baoding and Cangzhou.

"Please tell me your Majesty's order, will the money, food, cloth and silk be shipped out of Shanxi?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that the transfer of grain and rice requires too much manpower, and the roads in Shanxi are rugged and difficult to navigate. If millions of stone grains and rice are shipped out together, there will be actions of sick people. It is better to ship them out in batches. For military use." Niu Jinxing, who hadn't spoken for a long time, seized this opportunity to give himself a sense of presence.

"The minister's intention also coincides with Mr. Niu's idea. Spring is about to start, and people everywhere are busy with spring plowing. Where can there be so many masters, mules, horses and vehicles to transport? Why not formulate regulations based on the current grain and rice consumption of the entire army, so that There are companies in Shanxi that go up day by day."

With a large supply of military rations, the impact of the Southern Caomi Judgment, which troubled Dashun's monarchs and ministers, on Dashun can be reduced for the time being.However, Wu Xing, a guy who doesn't know how to look at style, chooses which pot to open and which pot to lift.

"Your Majesty, I heard that someone in Nanzhong is negotiating with our army? I don't know how the situation is going?"

Gao Yigong, who had returned to the capital from the Guangyang front line, proudly introduced to Wu Xing how after the front line negotiations broke down, he and Luo Hu commanded the Zhenshan Battalion and several Ming army commanders to fight Li Peiting. .

"It is said that the elite of the Nanman can fight. In my opinion, that's all! In front of Xiaohuzi's cavalry, they collapsed within a few rounds! If it wasn't for Xiaohuzi's youth and maturity, I would have directed the troops to attack Tianjin. Drive these Nanmans into the sea!"

Gao Yigong bragged about the battle that day, but never noticed that the faces of Li Zicheng, Wu Xing, Li Yan, Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing and others were all a bit ugly.

"One success, thanks to the fact that the little tiger didn't listen to you that day, and launched a fierce attack. If Tianjin was captured, as you said, Nanman was driven into the sea, or Li Peiting was captured alive, and our enmity with Nanzhong will be solved. Stop it!" Li Zicheng admired Luo Hu's attitude.

"Master Gao, on the battlefield, you made ten decisive moves, beheading generals and capturing the flag. You are unstoppable. However, your knowledge of things outside the battlefield is not as good as that of Luo Hu. You beat Li Peiting to the point of losing face. , This guy will definitely take revenge when he goes back. Either encourage the troops of Li Huayu in Shandong, or support the troops of Wu Sangui in Liaodong with money, food and equipment."

"Mr. Wu is right! Although we have now cut off the land passage between the Tianjin Ming bandits and Wu Sangui's troops in Shanhaiguan, so that they cannot be connected together. However, our old Liu has bruises in his ears, all of which are Nanzhongshui. How powerful the division is. If Nanman uses naval divisions and ships to support Wu Sangui and send troops to attack Jimen, Yutian and other places, then our Dashun's plan to appease Wu Sangui's troops will come to naught!"

Liu Zongmin's rough and unrestrained voice reverberated in the hall, and made everyone look solemn.They have all seen Nanzhong's inland river fleet use the Yellow River, Yangtze River, Han River and other waterways to easily deliver large quantities of supplies to the Dashun Army.

It can be done in inland rivers, and the sea route between Tianjin and Shanhaiguan is only a few hundred miles.In the eyes of others, it is a natural moat, but in the eyes of the Southern Guangdong Army, it is like a thoroughfare.If Wu Sangui had this kind of help, and he was determined to entangle with Dashun, it might be a big stumbling block for Dashun to unify the world.

"Sir, according to what you see, what should I do with Dashun? Could it be possible to tie me and Xiao Huzi and send them to Tianjin to be dealt with by Li Peiting?" Living in a void in the main hall, it seems that there is Li Peiting and the Nanyue Army behind him.

"They have a good idea! Even if they want to, they have to ask if the knives, guns and guns in our brothers' hands agree!" Liu Zongmin roared in a low voice.

"From what the students see, it's better to continue negotiating with the Southern Guangdong Army. When Zhang Yi was the Prime Minister of the Qin Kingdom, didn't the six countries in the Kanto region also fight today and make peace tomorrow?" The favorable momentum of this victory can be a good bargain with the Southern Guangdong Army.

Nothing to bother the two masters.

Even if the Dashun army still sent Wu Ruyi and Gao Yigong as negotiating envoys.The fast horse left Beijing and came towards Tianjin.

Another group of people went south along the canal to Shandong, preparing to contact Li Huayu directly.

However, plans did not change quickly.

Several sea ships were berthing at the Jiangnv Temple Pier, and Lin Wenbing bowed his hands to Wu Sangui and others who greeted them on the dock with a smile on his face.

"What kind of virtue does Lin have, dare to work hard and come to greet him in person?"

"What can Mr. Lin say!" Wu Sangui took off his gloves, grabbed Lin Wenbing, and carefully helped him off the springboard. "Don't say that Mr. Lin sent charcoal for my Liaodong soldiers in a timely manner. He sent a lot of things. Even if he has a breeze in his sleeves, Mr. is also the elder of the last general. It is also appropriate to greet him at the pier."

After Lin Wenbing was defeated in Guangyang, he was ordered to go to Liaodong with a large amount of supplies and military pay.

In Wu Sangui's commander-in-chief's mansion, Lin Wenbing declined Wu Sangui's kindness to summon all the generals to come to see him (of course, it was also because Wu Sangui wanted to show off to the generals that he had such help and foreign aid. Borrowing to stabilize the morale of the army .)

Since Lin Wenbing didn't intend to allow Wu Sangui's generals to attend the auditorium of his superior, Wu Sangui waved his hand and asked everyone to wait in the courtyard.In a disguised form, let these officers see the close relationship between the commander-in-chief and the Southern Guangdong Army.At the same time, Wu Sangui ordered his Chinese army to plan and prepare a banquet, "The commander-in-chief's uncle and uncle sent shopkeeper Lin Da to bring me military pay and rice for the Guan Ning army. The whole army of the Guan Ning army is naturally inexplicably grateful." All senses! Tonight, all guerrilla battalions and above generals will have a feast with Mr. Lin and his party at the commander's mansion!"

Hearing a thunderstorm from a hundred generals came from the courtyard, Lin Wenbing also had a wry smile on his face, alas!There is only a thousand years to be a thief, not a thousand years to prevent a thief.In any case, it was used as a gun by this kid.

However, no matter how remorseful he felt in his heart, his face remained calm.Seeing Wu Sangui ordered his soldiers to bring tea, Lin Wenbing didn't say much, and took a few sips from the tea bowl.

"Good tea! I don't want to be able to drink autumn tea from Mount Wuyi here!"

"Hey! Sangui is located in Liaodong, and the place is simple, so I have to do my best. I hope Mr. Haihan is the one."

Lin Wenbing didn't say much, and took out a few sheets of paper transcribed in small letters with fine brushwork from the book guard, and handed them to Wu Sangui. "Uncle, please take a look at it. This is the list of supplies that the shopkeeper ordered a certain family to escort. Please, Uncle, send someone to the dock to carry it, and put it into the warehouse as soon as possible."

The fleet composed of five large sand ships and two gunboats brought 60 yuan in military pay, [-] shi of grain, [-] barrels of gunpowder, [-] altars of shochu, and [-] shi of salt to the Ming army in Shanhaiguan.[-] catties of tea.Two hundred boxes of life-saving kits and four hundred boxes of various medicines.

Things are not too many.However, Wu Sangui was very satisfied.

There are still a lot of grains piled up in the warehouses in Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan and other places. After a rough calculation, it can be used for the whole army, including those family members, for the first half of the year.Right now, the reason why the morale of the army is unstable is actually because the city of Beijing has fallen into the hands of Dashun, and the soldiers are worried about their whereabouts.Who will control us in the future, who will pay us and pay us grain and rice.This is what they care about.As for which company's banner is floating above the city, it is not within their consideration.

The military salary of 60 yuan and [-] shi, grain and rice undoubtedly sent a signal to the entire army.The entire Guanning Army will soon be part of the Southern Guangdong Army system!From now on, our food and salary will be distributed by the Nanyue Army!Those officers and soldiers who followed Wu Sangui all the way from Tashan, heard the news, and immediately cheered.

From now on, we will fight for Liang Guogong and his old man!A few veterans watched barrels of gunpowder and life-saving kits being carefully hoisted out of the cabin by the sailors using cranes and pulley blocks on the pier, but they burst into laughter in their hearts.

If the Grand Duke hadn't taken a fancy to us, why did he give us so much money?Why are so many gunpowder, life-saving kits, and knife wound medicine sent?Why did you send so much salt and tea?Isn't it just to make us all have energy when fighting? !

In the commander's mansion, Wu Sangui gently pushed a piece of lacquered letter paper towards Lin Wenbing.

"Sir, I braved the wind and snow to cross the sea, and all the officers and men of the Guan Ning Army are inexplicably grateful. A little kindness, the whole army will send it off. Don't be too small, sir." (~^~)
