Since the change of Tumubao, except for the Zhengde Emperor, who is always abnormal in the eyes of most people, there has been no example of the imperial conquest, but the reason why the Chengtian Dynasty is "named Zhongxing is really a business" is to break the countless unspoken rules left by the previous Ming Dynasty.

One of the most typical examples is that in addition to the Chengtian Emperor Liu Yongxi's repeated royal expeditions, Empress Yi'an and Empress Changping, who was still known as Princess Kunxing at that time, led the army several times, and it is very incredible that Empress Yi'an and Empress Changping drove their personal expeditions, and the victory of the Yue Ming army will follow.

If the good news that 50,000 reinforcements won a complete victory in Huai'an Mansion and annihilated the Qing army was not enough to stimulate the Xuzhou defenders, but the news that Empress Changping personally led 50,000 elite soldiers to recruit in person still made everyone present excited, and everyone felt that the bitter and willing victory was in sight, and someone immediately asked: "Peng Chengbo, we have to find a way to leave the tens of thousands of Qing troops outside the city!" ”

Now the defenders of Xuzhou are actually running out of oil, and under normal circumstances, even if there are favorable factors for the Empress Changping to drive the expedition, most of the generals will still want to accept it when they see it, and will not consider the problem of leaving the main force of the Qing army, after all, holding Xuzhou is a miracle feat, and no matter how much icing on the cake is meaningless.

Whether the Qing army is all withdrawn or all stay to continue to besiege Xuzhou City, most of the Xuzhou defenders will want to see a good thing and accept it, and if they really want to force the Qing army to be urgent, they may also suffer unexpected setbacks, so that a great victory in the Xuzhou City Defense War left many regrets in the final stage.

But now the move of the Qing army besieging the city has greatly stimulated the Yue Ming army, after all, the Yue Ming army does not understand what the Qing army is operating, and the strongest and most active Dai Shan, Duoduo and Haoge have withdrawn, and although the Qing army that continues to stay is still tens of thousands of people, it is now impossible to even blockade Xuzhou City, which naturally makes these Xuzhou defenders feel that they have a lot to take advantage of.

And Zhang Boyi immediately said: "With the Empress Changping driving in person, she will definitely be able to leave these tens of thousands of Qing troops outside the city, this is a godsend, and now there is a very important thing to explain to you!" ”

Hearing Zhang Boyi say this, the generals below naturally didn't dare to take it lightly, and immediately replied: "Please ask Peng Chengbo to order, and I will definitely do it!" ”

Zhang Boyi immediately said: "Let's go back and have a good meal, sleep well, recuperate, and wait for the queen mother's royal forest army to arrive outside the city tomorrow, we should join forces to kill each other!" ”

The civil and military officials present suddenly relaxed: "It is true that you must have a good meal to make up for sleep, and you must recuperate, Peng Chengbo is right!" ”

Now the entire Xuzhou up and down is close to running out of oil, in order to persist in the long-term consideration of grain, oil, salt and most of the materials have entered the rationing stage, even many grassroots officers are half-starved and half-full for a few days without closing their eyes, and now Zhang Boyi's decision can be said to be the most exciting decision.

Liu Tuiguan of Xuzhou Mansion even echoed Zhang Boyi: "I want to find a few cows and a few pigs, and I must let the soldiers have a good meal!" ”

Zhang Boyi said with confidence: "This time, we not only want the tens of thousands of Qing troops outside Xuzhou City to stay, but also the Qing troops in the direction of Fengyang!" ”

Zhang Boyi didn't know that Dolgon happened to conquer Fengyang in person, but even if he knew that Dolgon was also in Fengyang Mansion, he still wanted to leave all the Qing troops behind, and for him who wanted to be crowned king, the more merit the better.

And at this moment, Dolgon was already angry: "You tell Wang Puxiang, I deliberately let him go before, and he is so entangled, don't blame this king for being unkind, if this king kills a horse pistol, let alone a Wang Puxiang, even ten Wang Puxiang can't parry!" ”

The Manchurian nobles present all felt that Dolgon was right: "Wang Puxiang, this thief is too faceless, we let him go, but he regards the kindness of our Great Qing Kingdom as weakness and bullying, if he dares to rush up, we will use all our energy to deal with him!" ”

It was really this scene in Fengyang Mansion that made these Manchurian nobles grit their teeth with hatred, and after discovering that Dolgon and the Great Qing State had made a serious mistake in their strategic judgment, Dolgon immediately decided to abandon the entire army of Fengyang Mansion City and retreat north.

But no one expected that Wang Puxiang, who had eased up, would become a kraft candy that made Dolgon angry, and he did not hesitate to catch up with the horse team and the infantry team.

Although there were thousands of elite horses in Dolgon's army, there were many baggage, clothing, slaves and infantry accompanying the army, and Wang Puxiang specifically attacked these slow and weak self-defense units, and it was the horse infantry that launched an attack at the same time, which made Dolgon suffer a lot, and even had to slow down the retreat.

But the reason why Wang Puxiang is kraft candy is that he controls the rhythm of the horse team and the foot team very well, although Dolgon thinks Wang Puxiang is very annoying, but he still can't make up his mind to solve Wang Puxiang, and even worries that if he really wants to entangle with Wang Puxiang, the situation will develop in an unimaginable direction.

What's more, now Dolgon has received the news that Duoduo, Hauge, and Daishan have retreated to the north without authorization, so he is even more like an arrow, and he can't wait to rush back to Xuzhou to lead the army now, and he doesn't want to have any meaningless entanglement with Wang Puxiang for a moment, but Wang Puxiang's harassment is becoming more and more violent, which makes Dolgon grit his teeth in anger.

He knew that if Wang Puxiang wasted too much time, this southern expedition would repeat the tragedy of last year, and there was no hope for tens of thousands of troops to break through and the whole army would be wiped out, so he could only continue to say viciously: "Tell Wang Puxiang that he is now killing himself!" ”

But Wang Puxiang took Dolgon's evaluation as his greatest praise: "To be so praised by the regent, we didn't run in vain this time!" ”

Jin Shengheng's old department, who was born in Zuo Liangyujun, is even more of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: "If Dolgon doesn't chase us, it's too shameless for us to stop, we have to let Dolgon stay!" ”

They are different from Wang Puxiang, they have just entered the military and political system of Liu Yongxi and Chengtian Dynasty, not only have not made an inch of merit, but also bear the charge of "repeated rebellion and surrender", naturally they are eager to make meritorious contributions, and now Wang Puxiang not only gave them enough opportunities but also took himself as a typical example: "That's right, we must let Dolgon stay and have a good talk with us!" There's no better opportunity than now! I was just a team officer a few months ago, and the reason why I was promoted so many levels in a row was naturally because I killed the Pseudo-Fu King! ”

Wang Puxiang and Zhou Zhisheng privately resolved the matter of Emperor Hongguang, which can be said to be a major secret of the Chengtian Dynasty.

Although Zhou Zhisheng and Wang Puxiang have soared because of this, they have always kept this matter a secret in the past, but in person, since they were born in Zuo Liangyu and once returned to the old department of Jin Shenghuan of the Qing Dynasty and then attached to the Longwu Dynasty, Wang Puxiang naturally used his most typical example to persuade them.

Wang Puxiang continued: "Of course, the Pseudo-Fu King was no longer in trouble at that time, even if I didn't make a move with Beigubo, there would be someone to help His Majesty share his worries, in fact, it can't be regarded as a real miracle, but killing the regent of the Qing Kingdom is different!" ”

Wang Puxiang said very directly, and Jin Shenghuan's old subordinates also replied very directly: "Then what good can we do?" ”

Wang Puxiang immediately said very clearly: "Our Chengtian Dynasty is different from the former Ming Dynasty, and Wufu can still be a governor or even a governor, the reason why I am so eager to chase after Jianyu is naturally to hope to take another big step, and I guarantee a hundredfold return for the kindness of your brothers!" ”

Since Wang Puxiang said this, these outlaws from Zuo Liangyu's old department were naturally extremely excited: "Please rest assured, general, we will definitely leave Dolgon behind!" ”

And hundreds of miles away, Zuo Mengeng, the old master of these outlaws, was also extremely excited: "Hurry up and gather the team, since we have thirty Niu Lu, we must have thirty Niu Lu!" ”

Although Zuo Mengeng's department is known as thirty Niu Lu, Tong Yangjia, who is alias Dong Yuan, directly took away fifteen Niu Lu, and Zuo Mengeng has at most fifteen broken Niu Lu, adding up to less than two thousand people, so whether it is Empress Changping, Zhou Zhisheng, Wang Zhiren, and Zhang Huangyan, they all feel that Zuo Menggeng's new annex army has limited combat power and can only be used as a partial division.

This is still taking into account the fact that Zuo Mengeng rose up in front of the battle at a critical moment, resulting in the collapse of the Qing army in Huai'an Mansion and almost impossible to turn back, if it is judged purely by combat effectiveness, everyone thinks that Zuo Mengeng is less than 2,000 remnants of the army, and the defeat will be at most the level of a thousand Yue Ming army.

But in fact, Zuo Mengeng's fifteen Niu Lu played a huge role, and now Zhou Zhisheng and the main force of the Yue Ming army are attacking Xuzhou with all their might, and they are unable to take care of the scattered Qing army in the rear, and Zuo Mengeng first tried to contain Dong Yuan's fifteen Niu Lu, and then he found that the Zhang brothers, Geng Jimao and other Qing troops he could contain, and even contained a lot of real Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners.

If it was in the early days of the Qing army's entry into the customs, there would never be a situation where the Manmeng Eight Banners surrendered to Zuo Mengeng, but the morale of the Qing army suffered a devastating blow in the two southern expeditions, so there would be this kind of situation of putting down his body and surrendering to Zuo Mengeng, after all, Zuo Mengeng had also joined the Eight Banners, and surrendering to him could at least save his life.

Therefore, Zuo Menggeng's department is now like a snowball constantly recruiting rebels, initially less than 2,000 people, but the result of recruiting rebels all the way is that the troops and horses are now close to 4,000 and still expanding, so Zuo Mengeng has also become ambitious: "Although 4,000 people are a little less, but we are thirty Niu Lu, and when it comes to the Chengtian Dynasty, we have to ask the Chengtian Emperor for the establishment of thirty battalion heads!" ”

Now Zuo Mengeng can't help but think of the glorious moment when Zuo Liangyu was alive, at that time, the Ningnan Hou Mansion had more than 100,000 troops, not to mention thirty battalion heads, even three hundred battalion heads were no problem, but immediately there was an old man from Guanwai who was born in the Eight Banners of the Han Army and reminded Zuo Mengeng: "Ningnan Hou, if you want to go from the Chengtian Dynasty to the establishment of thirty battalions, you must prepare early!" ”
