Sichuan-Shaanxi emergency recital?

How urgent is it?

Zhu Cihong became nervous all of a sudden, during this time there was a big war in southern Shaanxi, but don't make any mistakes!

Although on paper, Daming has a great advantage in terms of national strength, military strength, and financial strength, but this advantage cannot form a crushing effect. Because whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Great Shun, it is not the kind of modern country with strong mobilization ability.

The Ming Dynasty was a semi-feudal and semi-capitalist country, while the Dashun was a feudal military state. Don't think that with one more "semi-capitalist", Da Ming will be able to beat Da Shun. It's the 17th century, not the 19th century, and the advantages of capitalism are not so great. Historically, the Ottoman Empire was able to conquer Vienna until 1683! If a large number of European countries joined forces, Vienna might have been bloodied by the Ottoman army.

If you want to carefully analyze the real strength of Da Ming and Da Shun, you will also find that the gap between the two is not so big.

The real strength of the Ming Dynasty is 100 million taels of financial revenue (not all cash, but also a large amount of materials) and tens of thousands of "new aristocrats" living in and around Yingtianfu, as well as Wuhan, Yingtian, Shanghai, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other five handicraft centers that can produce advanced guns, as well as more than 100,000 soldiers of the Guards who have been cultivated since childhood, and 30,000 or 40,000 army officers who have been trained by the army after years of cultivation and professional training.

By the way, there is also a navy that can compete with the Dutch Navy and the British Navy!

And the real strength of the Dashun Empire is 600,000 soldiers who have just developed to the second generation - the second generation of military aristocrats who grew up in a war environment is very difficult to deal with!

The Manchurian nobles who overthrew the Ming Dynasty in history are a group of second generations, and they are much more difficult to deal with than Nurhachi's generation - they are robbers and educated! A group of high-quality robbers, just think about it, you know it's not easy to mess with.

The Dashun Empire also produced as many as 600,000 households - the country of Dashun is actually the country of these 600,000 military households, and the other 30 or 40 million people are not "countrymen" at all.

Of course, 600,000 government soldiers does not mean that there are really 60 second-generation soldiers who can fight, and this number also includes a large number of first-generation veterans who are still serving, as well as about 50,000 government military households who serve as civil officials and civil servants, and some government military households that are difficult to undertake military service because of poverty.

However, there are still half of them who can fight, that is, nearly 300,000, of which there are at least 20,000 or 30,000 high-ranking government soldiers who can act as the core.

In terms of the quality of the army alone, Dashun is not weaker than Da Ming at all.

However, in terms of military industry and finance, Dashun is far inferior to Daming. The flintlock pistol on the Ming side has begun to be popularized, and the arquebus on the Dashun side is still a little lacking, and only the Shun army on the Shaanxi side and Li Jicheng's Long March soldiers have enough arquebuses to use.

But with 600,000 government soldiers and 20,000 or 30,000 high-level government soldiers, Dashun still has the strength to fight.

Emperor Zhu was a little nervous and took the urgent piece handed over by Huang Xiaobao, opened it and read it at a glance and ten lines, and then read it word by word, and finally twisted his eyebrows into a ball.

The battle of southern Shaanxi was not fought well!

When it comes to resourcefulness and treacherous use of soldiers, Wu Sangui is really far worse than Li Dingguo...... It is clear that he has won the victory, but because of his greed for merit, he suffered two defeats in the Hanzhong Plain, losing nearly 30,000 people, and also lost two generals, Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixin.

However, Wu Sangui finally did not give up the strategic location of Lüyang, but gathered the righteous people, expanded the army, and actively defended...... With Wu Sangui's excellent ability to defend the city and Li Dingguo's poor siege ability, Luoyang should be able to hold out for a while.

And if Luoyang is not lost for the time being, there should be no big problem in Fengxian County - Wu Guogui gathered the defeated troops and retreated to Fengxian, which should be able to be defended. If Fengxian can be held, the reinforcements in Guanzhong can continue to drive to the front of Sanguan Road to save the trapped Wu Sangui.

In addition, the three Guards Divisions who entered Hanzhong by taking the Bao Slope Road, Ziwu Road, and Fu Luo Road would never be defeated by Li Dingguo like Shang Kexi and Wu Guogui. Because the field combat ability and night combat ability of the Guards are much stronger than those of the Fan Zhen Army!

And they will choose to fight at night rather than during the day whenever possible in order to maximize their advantage.

And the Shun army's several castles in the Hanzhong basin may not be able to withstand the attack of the Guards, who have already mastered the method of digging parallel and serpentine trenches, and even if they do not carry artillery, they can break through the more sloppy fortresses that have been built. If the Shunjun castle is stronger, it doesn't matter, they will build their own simple fortress as a foundation that will last in Hanzhong.

Therefore, the battle of southern Shaanxi can only be said to have been fought badly, not that it has been lost...... As long as Luoyang can hold on, the victory is still in hand!

Emperor Zhu took a breath, closed the concerto, and then waved his hand to signal Huang Xiaobao to retreat.

"The battle of southern Shaanxi has reached a critical moment, and the front line has done its best," Zhu Cihong said, "If you can do something on the eastern front, of course, it will be very advantageous, you must work hard to do it, if you need to mobilize the army, go and discuss with Li Yan of the military department and Feng Sizhong, the military division!" ”

"Commandment!"

......

When the Ming secret service was planning to use the "Jingchu heroes" who gathered in the Huya Mountain area to catch a big fish, the legendary Li Gongzi had quietly infiltrated Jiangling, the capital of Jingzhou.

said that he sneaked in, but in fact, he didn't go over the wall to enter the city in a night suit. This Li Gongzi doesn't have that much ability, and it's not necessary. Because the border management of the Ming Dynasty was very loose, and there was no restriction on the movement of people. Although the eastern and northern borders of Dashun and Daming are tense all the year round, and it is inconvenient to enter and exit, it is really difficult for Dashun's secret agents.

They usually entered the Ming Dynasty via Annam or Siam. If you go to Annan, you will clear customs from the Lihuajiang port, and then spend some money to make an Annan identity, and then enter Daming in the name of doing business. After entering the Ming Dynasty, within the scope of the province, it is basically a casual walk, and only a few forbidden areas are not allowed to go.

It would be safer to go to Siam, sailing from Burma to Phuket and then into the territory of the Western Army. If he said that he came from somewhere in Guangdong or Fujian, he could apply for household registration (basically no one went to investigate), and then he could "go back to his hometown and walk around" with the household register of the Western Army. After entering the Ming Dynasty, you can walk around all the provinces......

And this Li Gongzi, who was going to do big things, took the household register of the Western Army and entered Daming from Guangdong, and at that time he also met the visit of Princess Nisha of Tianzhu, and followed it to see the excitement. After seeing the excitement, he went north and entered Huguang, for the sake of safety, he did not enter Wuhan Mansion, the western capital of the Ming Dynasty, but went to Hunan and entered Jingzhou.

Along the way, he was inspecting the countryside and agriculture of the Ming Dynasty - this Li Gongzi was not an ordinary rogue, but a very good researcher of finance and agriculture. This Li Gongzi's surname is Niu...... This is a bit strange, but his real surname is Niu, and he is the youngest son of Niu Venus, with a single name, named Niu Jie.

Their old Niu family is considered a cultural person here in Dashun, his father Niu Jinxing is a scholar of Dashun's Zuofu University, that is, the prime minister, and his brother Niu Ji is a scholar of the household government. And Niu Jie is the "second generation" who grew up after Dashun entered Sichuan (Niu Yan is not counted as the second generation), can be literary and martial, when he was young, he studied with a lot of famous Confucians in Sichuan, and later entered Kunming to teach martial arts to practice martial arts, after graduating from the martial arts hall, he first joined the army, and then entered the government to do trade - it is the trade with the Ming Dynasty, which is not only for the sake of passing through, but also for collecting intelligence! Therefore, he was very clear about the economy of the Ming Dynasty, especially the prosperity of industry and commerce.

And this trip to the countryside of Hunan gave him a new understanding of Daming's agriculture and rural areas - Daming's agriculture is very strong, but uneven. There are many strong farmers and have the financial resources to invest in farming, so farm tools, ploughing cattle, ploughing horses, mills, water conservancy facilities, etc., are much better than those in Dashun.

However, too many and too strong large peasants have also caused a large number of small peasants to go bankrupt, land has become increasingly concentrated, and landless peasants have difficulty in food and clothing...... This is the opportunity of the Great Shun Dynasty!
