Chapter 141: Self-Inflicted Misery (Mistakes in the previous chapter, compensation in one chapter)
What Li Yan was holding in his hand was the decree that Zhu Cihong had written about his wife.
It really made him a little speechless!
His wife actually maintained a close correspondence with a little white face! Orders will be sent from Dagu in almost three or two days. And the red lady didn't know what to think, so she replied every time - in the form of a secret fold.
However, the content of the decree and the tantric recital are all serious!
This made Li Yan feel more at ease......
In addition to worrying that he was wearing a green hat, Li Yan was also worried about the future and fate of Li Zicheng and even the entire Dashun Dynasty.
Because after reading the edict written by Zhu Cihong to the red lady, he has realized the seriousness of the problem.
There is a great possibility that the eastern captives will enter the customs!
And the Shanhaiguan, the only one that can jam the throat of Dongyu's entry into the customs, is pinched in the hands of Daming.
That is to say, once Li Zicheng is defeated by the Dongyu under the city of Beijing, the eldest prince of Zhu, who controls the key points of Shanhaiguan, is very likely to become a profitable fisherman.
Now Li Zicheng has "revealed his true form", because he has become the mortal enemy of the world's corporal doctors because of torture and plunder. If he loses the city of Beijing to the Tartars again, then he will no longer be the co-lord of the world, but a public enemy.
At that time, Li Yan himself will not be able to continue to follow Li Zicheng...... In history, he was killed by Li Zicheng, wasn't it because he wanted to stand on his own? So his loyalty to Li Zicheng is limited.
And after Li Zicheng and defeated out of Beijing, the most taboo thing is to set up his own mountain! Because at that time, he was no longer the co-master of the world, and a group of "good ministers" under him could choose trees to live in again, and Li Yan committed this taboo.
"Xianggong," the red lady couldn't help but speak when she saw that Li Yan hadn't spoken, "If you go to Beijing this time, it's best to ask for a thousand reliable soldiers and horses from the emperor to come to Tianjin, and it's best to ask for a few more Hongyi cannons." ”
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at his wife and asked, "Lady, what do you want to do?" Want to hit the big gukou? ”
"Xianggong, there are less than 2,000 people in Tianjin, plus 1,000 people and a few Hongyi cannons, we can't move Dagukou......" The red lady's eyes rolled, "The slave wants to take advantage of the emperor's strength to pull a little more strength in hand." In the future, even if you vote for another master, you can also have capital! ”
"You ......" Li Yan frowned deeply, "You believe in Zhu Cihong so much?" ”
The red lady nodded: "The prince of the Zhu family has not miscalculated...... The emperor is now in a dilemma! And there is more than luck! ”
Li Yan thought about it and nodded, "It's really relatively rare!" But this time, the emperor will definitely send troops to fight Shanhaiguan...... It is useless for us to persuade us! ”
"Useless?" The red lady looked at her husband, "Why?" ”
Li Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Because Li Guo and Chen Yongfu have already played, saying that Wu Sangui's elite soldiers have been invested in Tianjin, and that Wu Sangui himself is in Tianjin."
How important is Shanhaiguan, will the emperor not know? Now the Dongyu army has not appeared in Shanhaiguan...... With the emperor's temperament, he must fight Shanhaiguan. If he succeeds, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in Beizhili! ”
If Zhu Cihong heard Li Yan's words, he would probably sigh: This is the destiny of heaven!
Because he played too skillfully in Tianjin, Li Guo and Chen Yongfu lost face, so they could only report that Wu Sangui led his family to help Tianjin.
And Li Zicheng naturally believed Li Guo and Chen Yongfu's report. Since Wu Sangui brought the elite to Tianjin, then Shanhaiguan is a fictitious defense. Everyone knows that the Ming army relied on the family to fight, and without the 3,000 family members, the combat effectiveness of the Guanning army must at least be discounted.
Moreover, the Shanhaiguan Guancheng is mainly defended against the enemy in the east, so the city defense to the west is not strong. If there was no Wu family, as long as Li Zicheng made up his mind to dispatch the old battalion soldiers, it was still very likely to capture it.
In addition, Li Zicheng is now the co-owner of the Northland. Maybe you don't have to fight, you can make the defenders on Shanhaiguan surrender.
And once Shanhaiguan is in hand, the dead end in front of Li Zicheng will be revitalized. As long as the Shanhaiguan Pass is controlled, not only will there be no shortcut to enter the Koukou, but also they will have to guard against it
The red lady said: "Xianggong, how should the slave reply to the Chitose Lord?" ”
Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Let's just say that Yan will do his best to wait for the Mandate of Heaven!" ”
"Okay!" The red lady looked at Li Yan, "Xianggong, be careful...... Don't contradict the emperor, if the emperor abandons Beijing, you will ask yourself to stay in Beijing, and take the opportunity to bring some people to Tianjin to meet with the slaves, and let's go to Dagukou together. ”
Li Yan nodded and sighed: "If there really is that day, Yan will naturally have to fight for the rise and fall of the world!" I hope that the prince of the Zhu family is really as the lady said, he is the true son of heaven! ”
......
"Boom ......"
Another earth-shattering roar!
After Feng Sanye went to Haisha Island, he could hear a roar from time to time, and he didn't know if it was a fire gun or an artillery test firing?
Sounds weird and noisy anyway!
He raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Cihong, who was writing a reply to the red lady, this Fujun prince looked really young! But what kind of young man was he who defeated more than 20,000 Shuntian soldiers in Tianjin Wei and captured the Red Lady......
"It's written!" Zhu Cihong put down the brush, stuffed the letter into an envelope, and then handed it to Huang Xiaobao, who handed it to Feng San.
Feng San took the letter, put it away carefully, and then sat there waiting for Zhu Cihong to speak.
"Who has the final say in Tianjin Wei now?"
"Returning to the crown prince," Feng San said, "Li Gongzi has already left, and Tianjin Wei is now the red lady and the lower officials are in charge." ”
"Oh." Zhu Cihong nodded, "How many soldiers and horses are there?" ”
"2,000 people," Feng Sandao said, "most of them are veterans who have followed the Red Lady for many years, and a few are added in Tianjin Wei." ”
"Boom ......"
Another roar!
Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "This is the fire soldier training...... There are now 1,500 firecrackers in the main shrine! Most of them are thieves, and all of them are good men! ”
This is Zhu Cihong's so-called elite soldier who is "not afraid of Tartars"! The main force was Hao Shaoqi's subordinate plus the old thief battalion soldiers captured in the Battle of Tianjin Wei, and a group of good men drawn from the net army and Shen Tingyang. There are not many people, but they do have the strength to fight.
According to Zhu Cihong's calculations, he wants to use this firecracker army as the main force after Li Zicheng's defeat and compete with the Tartars on the side of Dagukou - if Shanhaiguan still falls into the hands of the Tartars as in history!
There are islands here in Dagukou, and there are simple fortresses on the island, with 12 Franco machine guns, and two centipede gunboats on the water.
Even if it is a Tartar, in the face of such terrain and three-dimensional warfare on land and water, it is estimated that it will have to suffer a big loss, right?
And if Zhu Cihong can pick up a victory to defeat the Tartars at Dagukou, then he will be able to brag about it.
This prince is wise and martial, he uses soldiers like a god, and even the Tartars have been defeated, so he must be the reincarnation of Emperor Taizu Gao or something..... What a theme!
......
The city of Beijing is gloomy and bleak.
Li Zicheng, the son of Dashun, was holding a celebration banquet at the Wuying Hall at this time - celebrating Li Guo, Li You, Chen Yongfu and Li Yan, who had just returned from Tianjin.
They all have merit!
In Tianjin, Wei once again hit the fleeing Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong's subordinates, killed countless enemies, and also captured Tianjin City. Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong are also said to have died in the chaos!
"Hahaha! Since the boat of Emperor Zhu Thief and the crown prince burned down in the Wei River, most of them have already fed Wang Ba...... The red lady has done a good job, she has made a great contribution, and she will be crowned an earl! ”
Li Zicheng laughed heartily, and in front of a group of civil and military officials of the Great Shun Dynasty in the main hall, he announced the good news that did not exist at all.
The announcement of Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong's possible death was certainly not to make himself happy, nor was he deceived by anyone. It is to stabilize the hearts of the people in Beijing, so as not to cause any chaos in Beijing during his own crusade.
Now is not the time when the Dashun army did not enter Beijing, at that time, a large number of people in Beijing were looking forward to the arrival of King Chuang. And now, the people of Beijing all miss the Ming Dynasty......
