Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 529 Tongguan Battle (4) (Part [-])

Zhu Yousong said his strategy, and Song Xiance immediately clapped his hands and praised him, "Wonderful, wonderful, Your Majesty is really a god!"

Zhu Yousong was smug on the face, and secretly smiled in his heart, what a god, I don’t drink as much ink as you, and I don’t have as much experience in fighting wars as you. As for those military books and war strategies, I don’t know anything Son, the reason why there are so many twists and turns in this mind, isn't it all thanks to those netizens and Internet authors before time travel?
In that era of Internet explosion, there were as many of these whimsical ideas as there were, and that experience really benefited me for life!
I only hate that I read fewer online novels before time travel, otherwise I would have been the god of war who has strategized and won thousands of miles!
Of course, Zhu Yousong couldn't tell these old antiques what was in his heart and what he was thinking, and they wouldn't understand it if he said it, and he couldn't explain it clearly when he got to the bottom of it.

Zhu Yousong immediately put his strategy into practice and passed on his will.

For several days in a row, there was no movement in Mingying, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.Zhu Yousong neither marched, sent envoys, nor retreated, and just fought with Li Zicheng's Dashun army.

The more than 1 soldiers of the Dashun Army in the fortress also like to spend their time in this way. They stay inside when there is nothing to do. The wind, rain, and sun are not exposed to the sun. It's a time of leisure.

On the other hand, Li Zicheng, Gao Guiying and Niu Jinxing in the city all muttered. The Ming army came calling, but suddenly they were so calm.Hurry up and discuss together.

They discussed and discussed, but they couldn't figure it out, and they sent people to investigate, but they found nothing.Then their monarchs and ministers all looked at each other with similar smiles, thinking that the Ming army was running out of tricks, and jokingly said, what kind of tricks are there, just come and use them, the cannons are thundering, the little ghosts enter the city, or just doing it will waste our perseverance, we Don't be afraid at all, even if you have thousands of tricks, I will just stand still and see what you can do, if you have the ability to grow wings and fly over!

In fact, it's not their fault for being frivolous and frivolous, but the power of the red-clothed cannon was too limited at that time.Although there is no reinforced concrete, only bricks and stones are used to build the building defense line, which is still indestructible, making the limited artillery fire powerless.

Believe it or not, please look at Zhaozhou Bridge. It has been more than 1000 years, and it is still a bridge.And what about the reinforced concrete of later generations?Either this high-rise building collapsed, or the bridge collapsed right after it was built.I'm afraid this can only be explained in this way. The former is the wisdom of the working people, while the latter is the work of profiteers.But this also shows that as long as it is used well, the masonry structure may not be as strong as the reinforced concrete of later generations.

Just like the fortress in front of you and the city wall of Tongguan, although Zhu Yousong has many cannons, they are powerless.Digging tunnels with engineers won't work either.Because the terrain in this area is complicated, it is not a plain, except for hills and ridges, or it is full of ravines and mixed mountains and rocks. It is difficult to dig through a tunnel several miles long.

Therefore, in the eyes of Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing, their defense line is impregnable and impeccable.How could they not be proud of building such a line of defense in a short period of time?
"Your Majesty, I heard that the former saw those three little beasts on the Luoyang battlefield?" Seeing that her Majesty was happy, Gao Guiying dared to say, she had wanted to ask this question a long time ago.

Li Zicheng's face immediately turned cloudy, and he nodded slightly, "I just wish I didn't kill them, if it wasn't for that stupid king..." He didn't want to say the following words.

Gao Guiying's heart calmed down a little, and he persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't be too entangled. The concubine said something that shouldn't be said. Don't blame one side for the two things. They all said that they couldn't help it. They are already grown up. We didn't do it properly either. It's not worth it for them to get angry, it's important to take care of the dragon's body."

Li Zicheng nodded helplessly. Niu Jinxing, who was beside him, felt a prickly pain on his face after hearing Gao Guiying's words. He felt like sweating, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"It's just a pity that Shuangxi, Song Xiance, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, and Li Laiheng have all been murdered." Li Zicheng was heartbroken when he said this.

"Your Majesty, think broadly in everything. There is no war that does not hurt people. Life and death are fate. Wealth and honor are in the sky." Gao Guiying could only persuade.

……

Just when Li Zicheng and his ministers were complacent in the city and the fortress, in the cities and village markets in Shanzhou and Luoyang, the Ming army was pulling the banner of the imperial court and began to requisition livestock on a large scale.

This kind of animal is not a war horse, but a stupid cow.

After the common people heard about it, they didn't know what the imperial court meant by expropriating these things, but they all responded one after another.Those who had farming cattle in the family pulled them out and sent them to the officers and soldiers, and some cattle who were plowing in the fields were also taken over and handed over to the officers and soldiers without any payment.

The officer in charge here glared, "I said fellow, do you want His Majesty to cut off the head of this officer? Your Majesty has an order, buy and sell for everyone, and buy for the price. No one can break the rules!"

The common people were very moved, they had never seen such a fair officer, Wei Wei Nuo nodded and said, "What the military master said is, Your Majesty is holy, holy..." He took the silver in his hand, and went home happily.

Those big landlords and families, especially those with more farms, also took the opportunity to pull out all the cattle from the family, and handed them over to the officers and soldiers as if to please.

Of course they are not stupid, Zhu Yousong has now restored Daming, driven the Tartars north, and now he is starting to suppress bandits again, winning consecutive battles like a broken bamboo.From this point of view, the world will be unified in the near future, and the Ming Empire will surely reappear in its prosperity.Now the northern and southern Zhili areas have started to levy business tax, and the poor with mud legs are exempt from tax. Can their property and land be preserved?At that time, you will have to share with them abruptly, then you can only wipe your tears to the sky, why not be a favor now, pull these cows out and sell them to the court, and you can exchange them for some money. Good impression, but also decent money, why not do it?

As for how to plow the land without cattle, of course it is not a matter.Without Butcher Zhang, we might not just eat pigs.Without cattle, donkeys, horses, mules and even people can still farm.

Therefore, in just a few days, Luoyang and Shanzhou collected [-] healthy and fat cattle.According to the order, the generals sent an army to escort them to the Ming army camp hundreds of miles away day and night.

When Zhu Yousong saw the ten thousand big fat cattle, he immediately became happy, "Haha, Li Zicheng, this time I will show you how I use cattle soldiers against you!"
