Li Zicheng's mood can be described as very good. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After getting Luo Hu's army to arrive in time to stabilize the local war situation in Jingdong, he even started negotiations with Longsheng Bao Peiting. The negotiations failed, and the two sides started a big battle in Guangyang, Dong'an and other places.

According to Luo Hu's words, "Since your thousands of elites who were beaten by Liao thieves from Liaodong to Shandong need to be compensated, wouldn't it be more necessary for us to compensate for the elites who brought the Liao thieves back to Liaodong?" Are you compensating me for Shandong? ”

Everyone leads troops to fight, and since words are not speculative, then solve problems on the battlefield. The two teams fought fiercely.

At the beginning, the situation was stalemate, and the two sides tested each other, and each suffered a lot of casualties. But both of them gritted their teeth and insisted in the midst of the artillery fire.

However, the weakness of the soldiers and horses of Nanyue appeared under the two pairs of eyes of Gao Yigong and Luo Hu who had been on the battlefield for a long time! In addition to the lack of artillery fire, it was found that the recruit array (that is, those mobilized soldiers) in Nanzhong was loose and flawed, so the dragoons urgently maneuvered to the flank of the recruit line, and then the dragoons took the lead, and the cavalry wall launched an attack on the recruit line in the rear, and when the cavalry attack was completed, the infantry phalanx that had completed the formation launched an attack under the cover of dense artillery fire and then broke the recruit line in one fell swoop. Li Peiting's thousands of men and horses were defeated, so they could only retreat under the protection of the naval division and the land battalion, and led the new soldiers and horses of the Beijing battalion to retreat to Tianjin.

Several general soldiers originally planned to take advantage of the situation to beat the water dogs, but they were warned by Luo Hu that it was okay to send guests back to Tianjin, and if they planned to take advantage of it, it would be good not to be bitten.

Controlling his subordinates' soldiers and horses, Gao Yigong ordered several general soldiers to lead their troops to be about ten miles away from Li Peiting's defeated troops, and slowly followed the eastward advance, picking up the wounded soldiers who had fallen behind along the way, and picking up the discarded baggage. For those soldiers and horses who fell behind, Gao Yigong gave an order, "No beating, no insulting, no searching of pockets." Be courteous to all of us. ”

Luo Hu himself, who personally led the department, swept past Li Peiting's defeated team and rushed towards the northeast. Xianghe, Sanhe, Yutian, Baodi, Jizhou, Fengrun, Qian'an, Kailuan, Guye, Zunhua and other places, the Ming troops stationed in the area surrendered one after another. The soldiers of the Zhenshan battalion pointed directly in the direction of Luanzhou, and the blades pressed towards Wu Sangui's back.

The Ming army in the direction of Tianjin, which was bothering Li Zicheng's ministers, and the Guanning army near Shanhaiguan merged into one breath, and was beaten by Luo Hu with three punches and two kicks.

Gao Yigong and Luo Hu jointly submitted a letter to Li Zicheng in Beijing.

"With the temperament of Grand Prince Li, he should order someone to renegotiate, and then, although it is also a sky-high asking price, it will be much more restrained after all." These are the words in the inscription written by Luo Hu and Gao Yigong to Li Zicheng, asking Li Zicheng to set the conditions for negotiations with the Southern Army as soon as possible.

Almost after Luo Hu repelled Li Peiting, Shandong had a congratulatory letter and persuasion document that made Niu Jinxing and others very excited. But it was written by the Confucian family in Qufu, Shandong. The place where the payment is made is Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi.

As a family in the world that has not fallen for thousands of years, he has the highest title of different surnames in the Ming Dynasty - duke, the official position of the crown prince, Kong Yinzhi, the Confucian Mansion Yansheng Gong in Shandong, saw Li Zicheng enter Beijing, and immediately presented the "Persuasion Table", and ordered Kong Zhenkan, the county magistrate of Qufu, to enshrine the dragon throne of the Yongchang Emperor of the Great Shun Kingdom in the temple school and other places in Qufu City. And from this person entered the capital to accept the letter.

At the same time, in order to express his sincerity in his support for Dashun, in addition to offering the seal letter issued to them by Zhu Yuanzhang, Yan Sheng Gong also took the initiative to sacrifice horses and silver to transport them over, and at the same time wrote to the imperial court, expressing his willingness to hand over the money and grain to the Zhuangzi of the Yan Sheng Gong Mansion in Gyeonggi in accordance with the money and grain system promulgated by the Dashun court, and pay them to the errand soldiers, so as to be a good citizen who actively takes the lead in paying taxes. to express deference and loyalty to the new court.

"The dwelling is respectful, the deacon is respectful, and the people are faithful. Although it is everywhere, it cannot be abandoned. The ancestor of the Confucian family said this to others, and it was the turn of the Confucian family to say: "I am different, and there is nothing to do." In fact, the translation of human words is: whoever gives the bone is the master, regardless of whether he is a man or a beast. This is the reason why the Confucian family has not fallen for thousands of years. No matter how the dynasty changes, as long as I can keep my rights and interests, we will sing to you whatever you want to hear. (At this point, practitioners in the entertainment industry really need to learn professional ethics and conduct from the Yansheng Mansion.) ）

People traveled thousands of miles to send letters of loyalty, money, grain, and horses, and they also took the initiative to say that their land tenants in the Gyeonggi area would be handled in accordance with the fiscal and taxation system of Dashun. Such a good gesture can be described as a milestone in winning the hearts of the world's readers. At the moment, at the suggestion of Niu Jinxing, Li Zicheng was very gentle and encouraged Kong Zhenkan, not only was he awarded the "Usual Management Committee", but also rewarded him with the title of Tongzhi and the treatment of five-grade robes.

"Mr. Wu, you have come thousands of miles, and you should have let you rest for two days, but at the moment, things are too complicated, and I, Ruhou, and Lin Quan have to be busy with military affairs and other matters, so this matter of people's livelihood and government affairs will be biased towards you."

Wu Xing came from the starry night in Shanxi, which made Li Zicheng's heart really lighter. Niu Jinxing and others are really not as good at handling government affairs as they are in terms of their mouths and pens.

"Your Majesty, General Luo Hu captured more than ten cities in Jingdong and cut off the land passage between the Ming army in Tianjin and the Ming army in Shanhaiguan and other places. The surrender of the Ming army in Jizhen and other places is tantamount to cutting off one of Wu Sangui's arms. Therefore, the minister thought that he should quickly send someone to carry the official talisman seal letter, and the grain, rice and wealth should go to Jizhen, Yutian Town and other places. appeased the officials and generals who surrendered, and gave more rewards to the soldiers and soldiers to calm their hearts. ”

"Exactly! Mr. Wu, you order the government of officials, the government of the soldiers, and the household government in your charge to come up with a charter together, and I will be able to do it! ”

In addition, the headquarters of Wu Sangui, the general army of Liaodong stationed in the direction of Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan, was the last elite soldiers and horses of the Ming army north of the Yangtze River, and it was located in a key place. The courtiers are foolish, or send an envoy to appease him. ”

On the carriage to Beijing, Wu Xing had a more practical and clear understanding of the situation around Beijing through the descriptions of the imperial camp and the letters of Li Yan, Gao Yigong, Liu Zongmin and others. It is precisely because he is in the chaos of the capital that he is more clear and calm about how to deal with such chaos.

"Send a messenger to surrender? This should be possible. But who should be sent? ”

"Your Majesty, as soon as Mr. Wu said this, my old Liu suddenly opened up. It is better to send Tang Tong Tang General Soldier to go, he is also a member of the Jiliao Army, and he has an incense karma with Wu Sangui. Your Majesty may wish to take Tang Tong as the main envoy and Chen De as the deputy envoy. Carrying the holy decree of Zhao'an and a sum of military salaries and wealth to Shanhaiguan to recruit Wu Sangui, thinking that the country was the wings of the minions. ”

Tang Tong surrendered at Juyong Pass, while Chen De and his father Chen Yongfu surrendered at Kaifeng. Chen Yongfu is also made an earl now, and sending these two people to Shanhaiguan to recruit them can play an unexpected role. Especially Chen De, there are legends in the outside world that he shot Li Zicheng in one eye. Li Zicheng asked him to deal with Wu Sangui, "I can even attract the use of my subordinates even if I shoot and injure me." You have no grudges with me for a long time, and there is no enmity in the near future, so why not worry about reuse? ”

Chen De is the Yongya of the Great Shun Dynasty. (The grievances and hatreds between Yongya and Liu Bang, everyone can find out by flipping through the Hanshu themselves.) ）

arranged two groups of men and horses to go east to recruit and pacify the remnants of the Ming army in various parts of Jingdong. Wu Xing took out a handbook from the sleeve of his robe, "Your Majesty, this is the amount of grain, grass and silver money that the minister has obtained in various parts of Shanxi these days. Millions of stones of grain and rice, which can probably be eaten by the army of the Eastern Crusade for February. The money may be used to pay the army for more than one year. Your Majesty, please take a look. ”

Li Zicheng took this handbook overjoyed, and looked at the number of rows on it with great joy, these grains, rice and silver coins were enough to support his army to go south along the North China Plain, or from Henan to Jianghuai, or from Baoding, Cangzhou to Shandong.

"Please let Your Majesty indicate whether these money, grain, cloth and silk will be shipped out of Shanxi?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the transportation of grain and rice consumes too much manpower, and the roads in Shanxi are rugged and the mountain roads are difficult to travel. If millions of stone grains and rice are shipped out together, there will inevitably be a move by the sick people, so it is better to transport them out in phases and batches for military use. Niu Venus, who didn't open his mouth for a long time, seized this space and brushed up on his sense of existence.

"The minister's intention is also in implicit agreement with Mr. Niu's proposition. Spring is about to begin, and people everywhere are busy with spring ploughing, where are so many masters, mules, horses, and vehicles to transport them? It is better to formulate a charter according to the current situation of the whole army's grain and rice consumption, so that Shanxi Yousi can go up day by day. ”

With a large supply of military rations, the influence of the Southern Cao Rice Absolute Dashun that plagued the monarchs and ministers of Dashun could be smaller for the time being. However, Wu Xing, a guy who is not very good at looking at the style, just doesn't open which pot to mention.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there are people in Nanzhong who are negotiating with our army? I wonder how things are going? ”

Gao Yigong, who had returned to the capital from the Guangyang front, proudly introduced to Wu Xing the story of how he and Luo Hu commanded the Zhenshan Battalion and several troops of the Ming Army to fight Li Peiting after the negotiations broke down on the front.

"It is said that the elite of the Southern Barbarians can fight, in my opinion, but that's it! In front of Xiaohuzi's cavalry, it didn't take a few rounds to collapse! If it weren't for Xiaohuzi's youth and old age, I would have commanded my soldiers and horses to go straight to Tianjin and drive these Nanban into the sea! ”

Gao Yigong bragged about the battle that day, but he never noticed that the faces of Li Zicheng, Wu Xing, Li Yan, Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing and others were a little unsightly.

"One merit, thanks to the fact that Xiaohuzi didn't listen to you that day, and attacked with a fierce attack. If we capture Tianjin, as you said, drive Nanban into the sea, or capture Li Peiting alive, our enmity with Nanzhong will be unresolved! Li Zicheng appreciated Luo Hu's handling attitude.

"Master Gao, on the battlefield, you will fight ten times, kill the generals and capture the flag, and you must not be brave. However, what is happening outside the battlefield, your knowledge is not as good as that of Luo Hu, a little baby. You beat Li Peiting's fight to the point that you lost face, and this guy is bound to take revenge when he goes back. or instigate the troops and horses of Li Huayu's department in Shandong, or support the troops of Wu Sangui in Liaodong with money, grain and equipment. ”

"Mr. Wu is right! Although at the moment, we have cut off the land passage between the Tianjin Ming thieves and Wu Sangui's department in Shanhaiguan, so that they cannot be connected. However, our old Liu has grinding out of his ears, and he is how strong the Nanzhong Water Master is. If it was the Nanban who used the navy to meet Wu Sangui by sea and sea, he was ordered to send troops to attack Jimen, Yutian and other places. Then, our Dashun's plan to appease Wu Sangui's department will be completely frustrated! ”

Liu Zongmin's rough and arrogant voice shook some echoes in the hall, and it also made everyone's faces solemn. They had all seen the inland river fleet in Nanzhong use the Yellow River, Yangtze River, Han River and other waterways to easily hand over a large number of materials to the Dashun army.

Inland rivers can be done, and the sea route between Tianjin and Shanhaiguan is only a few hundred miles. In the eyes of others, it is a moat, but in the eyes of the Nanyue Army, it is like a thoroughfare. If Wu Sangui has this help, he will be entangled with Dashun with an iron heart, but I am afraid that it will also be a big stumbling block for Dashun to unify the world.

"Sir, if you see what you see, what should I do? Could it be that the official and Xiaohuzi were tied up and sent to Tianjin to be handed over to Li Peiting's gang for disposal? Gao Yigong's face was full of black energy, and he stared viciously at a void in the main hall, as if it was Li Peiting and the Nanyue Army behind him.

"They think it's beautiful! Even if they want to, they have to ask our brothers if the knives, guns, guns and guns in their hands are promised! Liu Zongmin roared in a low voice.

"From what the students see, it is better to continue to negotiate with the Nanyue Army. When Zhang Yi was the prime minister of Qin, didn't he fight with the six countries of Kwantung today and make peace tomorrow? Li Yan quoted scriptures to suggest reopening negotiations, and, by taking advantage of the favorable momentum of this victory, he could make a good bargain with the Nanyue army.

Don't bother the two masters.

Even though the Dashun army still sent Wu Ruyi and Gao Yigong to act as negotiating envoys. The fast horse left Beijing and came in the direction of Tianjin.

On the other hand, they went south along the canal to Shandong, preparing to make direct contact with Li Huayu.

However, plans have not changed as quickly.

Several sea boats docked at the pier of Jiang Numiao, and Lin Wenbing greeted Wu Sangui and the others who greeted them on the pier with a smile.

"How can Lin dare to work and come to greet him?"

"What Mr. Lin said!" Wu Sangui took off his gloves, grabbed Lin Wenbing, and carefully helped him off the springboard. "Don't say that Mr. Lin sent charcoal to my Liaodong soldiers and sent a lot of items. It is the breeze on both sleeves, and Mr. is also the elder of the last general, and it is also appropriate to greet him on the dock. ”

After Lin Wenbing's defeat in Guangyang, he was ordered to go to sea with a large amount of supplies and military salaries and come to Liaodong.

In Wu Sangui's marshal mansion, Lin Wenbing declined Wu Sangui's kindness in summoning the generals to come to see (of course, Wu Sangui also had the intention of showing off to the generals that he had such help and foreign aid.) Borrowed to calm the morale of the army. ）

Since Lin Wenbing didn't plan to let Wu Sangui's subordinates attend the auditorium of his boss, Wu Sangui waved his hand and asked everyone to wait in the courtyard. In disguise, let these officers see the close relationship between Ben Shuai and the Nanyue Army. At the same time, Wu Sangui ordered his own Chinese army to plan and prepare a banquet, "The marshal's uncle and uncle sent Lin Da's shopkeeper to send military salaries and rice to my Guan Ning army. The whole army of my Guanning Army is naturally inexplicably grateful! Five inner feelings! Tonight, the guerrilla generals and officers of all battalions were all in the Shuaifu to have a banquet with Mr. Lin and his party! ”

Hearing the thunderstorm of one hundred and ten generals coming from the courtyard, Lin Wenbing also showed a wry smile on his face, alas! There are only a thousand years to be a thief, and there is no thousand years to prevent thieves. In any case, it was used as a gun by this kid.

However, no matter how remorseful I felt in my heart, my face was still calm. Seeing that Wu Sangui ordered his subordinates to serve tea, Lin Wenbing didn't say much, picked up the tea bowl and drank two sips.

"Good tea! But I don't want to be able to drink the autumn tea of Wuyi Mountain here! ”

"Huh! Sangui is located in Liaodong, and the location is simple, so I have to do my best. I hope that Mr. Haihan is. ”

Lin Wenbing didn't say much, took out a few pieces of paper that were transcribed in small letters from the book and handed them to Wu Sangui. "Uncle, please take a look. This is the list of materials that the big treasurer ordered a certain family to escort. Please send someone to the dock to carry it and put it into storage as soon as possible. ”

The flotilla, consisting of five large sand ships and two gunboats, brought 600,000 yuan in military salaries, 10,000 stones of grain, 1,000 barrels of gunpowder, 2,000 jars of soju, and 1,000 stones of salt to the Ming army in Shanhaiguan. 10,000 catties of tea. There are 200 boxes of life-saving bags and 400 boxes of various medicines.

It's not a lot. However, Wu Sangui was very satisfied.

At present, there is still a lot of grain piled up in the warehouses of Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan and other places, and if you calculate it roughly, it can be used by the whole army, including those family members, to eat for half a year. At present, the reason for the instability of the army's morale is actually because Beijing City has fallen into the hands of Dashun, and the soldiers are worried about their whereabouts. In the future, who will control us, and who will pay us and pay us grain and rice. That's what they care about. As for which banner was flying on the head of the city, it was not in their consideration.

The 600,000 yuan in military salaries and 10,000 stone of grain and rice undoubtedly sent a signal to the whole army. The whole army of the Guanning Army is about to be the team of the Nanyue Army system! In the future, our food and salary will be distributed by the Nanyue Army! Those officers and soldiers of the lineage who followed Wu Sangui all the way from Tashan heard the news and immediately cheered.

Let's fight for Liang Guogong and his old man in the future! A few veterans watched barrels of gunpowder and life-saving kits being carefully hoisted out of the cabin by sailors with overhead cranes and pulleys on the docks, but their hearts were full of laughter.

If it weren't for Grandpa Guo who fell in love with us, why did he give us so much money? Why did you send so much gunpowder, life-saving kits, and knife wounds? Why did you send so much salt and tea? Isn't it just to keep us all motivated when we fight?!

In the Shuai's Mansion, Wu Sangui gently pushed a gold letterhead towards Lin Wenbing.

"Sir, who braved the wind and snow across the sea, all the officers and men of my Guanning Army are inexplicably grateful. A little heart, the whole army will send it to the public. Don't be too small, sir. (To be continued.) )
