Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 292

Zhang Xianzhong's sudden assassination and death disrupted the plans of the Daxi Army, and the eastward advance stopped before it officially started.

Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi arranged for Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang's funeral, while stabilizing the morale of the army.

The three of them are Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons, and they have similar rights to each other. The power vacuum left by Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang after their deaths naturally needs three people to fill it.

Fortunately, the three of them are not the kind of people who are eager for quick success, and they didn't tear their faces because of their rights.

Zhang Xianzhong, the adoptive father, and Sun Kewang, the eldest brother, both died. Li Dingguo, who was ranked second, was elected as the head of the Daxi Army in order to preside over Daxi's next affairs.

Strange to say, in the official history, both Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang were shot to death.

Zhang Xianzhong was directly shot to death by Prince Su Haoge with a bow and arrow during the battle.

Sun Kewang, on the other hand, had no use value after he surrendered, and was deliberately shot to death by the nobles of the Qing court as prey during a hunt.

Now, on the same day, the two were double-clicked by new army snipers, and then died. The wheels of history are rolling, and they cannot escape their fate.

If it wasn't for the two of them making great efforts to advance eastward and prepare to wear the same trousers with the Qing court and Emperor Hongguang, Ying Tianfu would not suddenly make such a cruel move.

However, after successfully sniping Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang, the Intelligence Bureau's action team immediately suspended the operation and did not carry out any further assassination operations against other members of the Onishi regime.

The reason for this is that Tang Ning knew that the possibility of Li Dingguo and the others voting to the Qing court was very small, and the possibility of cooperating with the Qing court was not high.

If you still attack these people, you will really drive other people to the Qing court and Emperor Hongguang, which is not worth the loss.

After all, the victory or defeat of the struggle between regimes cannot be achieved through assassination.

Of course, with the deaths of Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang, other people will inevitably strengthen their defenses, and the possibility of such an easy assassination is much smaller.

The main reason why they were able to kill the target relatively easily this time was that Zhang Xianzhong and others were too ignorant of the methods of the new army. After all, the two sides had never had close encounters, let alone fought.

The so-called magical soldiers of the new army are only rumors here in Zhang Xianzhong, and he has rarely heard of the precedent of assassination with firearms, so he did not expect that he would be killed like this under heavy defense .

Therefore, it is an expression of ignorance that he swaggered and swaggered through the city riding a tall horse to openly appear on the street.

Once he has completely become Ying Tianfu's enemy, there is no reason for him not to be attacked.

Compared with Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang, the Manchurian nobles of the Qing court were much more cautious, because the primary goal of the assassination operation of the Intelligence Bureau Action Team was to target them.

But relatively speaking, it is much more difficult to deal with them. On the one hand, these people have already understood the performance of the German weapons of the new army through the information on the battlefield. Began to be vigilant.

In addition, there is another important reason that made the assassination of the action team difficult, that is, after the Manchus entered the customs, they formulated a policy that Manchus and Hans could not live together or intermarry, so as to ensure their so-called pure blood.

This naturally separated the two ethnic groups. Therefore, it was very difficult for the action team sent to the capital to meet Dorgon and others, and it was even more difficult to grasp their whereabouts.

Moreover, even if those people travel, they basically sit in sedan chairs, and they don't even know who is sitting in the sedan chair without showing their faces.

In line with the policy that all Qing officials can be killed, the action team did take some actions and achieved some results, but most of them killed Han officials, and few officials who were truly full of the Eight Banners were killed.

After knowing the assassination methods of the New Army Action Team, these people became more cautious. Many places were monitored, making the assassination more difficult.

Of course, the assassination organized by Ying Tianfu this time is only one aspect, such a large operation cannot rely on only one assassination.

What if the assassination fails?What if Li Dingguo and others continue to advance eastward in order to avenge Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang?
Therefore, Ying Tianfu also prepared a countermeasure.

For example, the so-called He Tengjiao will cooperate with them internally and externally, which is actually false news.

Although He Tengjiao's ability in military command is limited, his loyalty to Daming cannot be denied.

No matter how stupid he is, he knows that the so-called orthodox Hongguang regime is just a puppet. For his own benefit, he does not hesitate to cooperate closely with the Tartars, and even wins him to betray the finally stable Yingtianfu regime.

This is to trap He Tengjiao into injustice, this is to destroy the foundation of Ming Dynasty, how can he agree?

Yes, he was indeed a little dissatisfied and uncomfortable with Tangning taking the Dashun Army away from him, but he wouldn't confuse it with Dayi.

It is not necessary to destroy the foundation of Daming just because of this discomfort.

If Yingtian Mansion is destroyed, then the Ming Dynasty will perish even if it does not die. It is basically impossible to rely on Emperor Hongguang to restore the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.

So morally, he gave up his self-interest and a little resentment in his heart.

Once the Great Western Army chooses to move eastward, it will not be him, He Tengjiao, who will cooperate with the inside and outside, but will unite with the new army to set a trap for them.

If he fell into a trap in Huguang as soon as he came out of Sichuan, would the main generals such as Daxi Army dare to trust other people representing Hongguang Emperor?
This was preparation on the one hand, and on the other hand, Jiangbei's new army could mobilize more than [-] troops back to the defense at any time. As for the various departments of the Qing army trying to hold them back, that was not realistic at all.

The Qing army suffered huge losses in several battles, and now they can only defend against the city. Even if the new army takes away 20 million troops, they probably don't have the guts to launch an active attack.

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang's eastward movement, which they hoped for, could not succeed except for giving the Qing government a respite and causing damage to the Jiangnan area. It was just their wishful thinking.

However, since Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang were dead, the matter came to an end for the time being, and the news of their assassination spread quickly.

Naturally, Ying Tianfu was overjoyed, while the Qing court and Emperor Hongguang were greatly shocked, and their officials, big and small, became more cautious, not daring to show their faces easily, for fear that they would be caught accidentally by a projectile that flew over. To blow the head off.

Not to mention, the action team of the Intelligence Bureau is already preparing to create some incidents in the capital, and give a good warning to those traitorous faces.

"Ming Pao" publicly published the anti-rape team formed by Yingtianfu, and publicly issued orders to kill some people.

As a result, gunshots could often be heard in the middle of the night, and in some palaces, shells even suddenly fell one after another, causing restlessness and panic.

This time was different from the past, Ying Tianfu took quite a big action.

Due to the large number of Qing troops transferred from the capital, the troops defending the city were slightly insufficient. It was basically unrealistic to hunt down the members of the anti-rape team in the whole city.

Now the names of the anti-rape team can stop children from crying, and those who have ghosts in their hearts are even more frightened and keep a low profile.
