Gao Yigong and Wu Ruyi came to Tianjin with the two great missions of appeasement and negotiation. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info has not yet arrived in Tianjin, and there are already rumors in Yongqing and Langfang.

Tianjin will never surrender!

In the Tianjin Acropolis, notices issued in the name of Liang Guogong were plastered, ordering young and middle-aged people to report to the Yamen of Yousi for registration, "regardless of whether they are high or low, regardless of fame." "Violators will be punished as thieves!

Although the gentry and scholars in the city were reluctant, they had to ask the children of their families to bring their slaves to the Yamen of the Yousi to report, register, and then organize themselves. "People are under the eaves, how dare they not bow their heads!"

Under the so-called low eaves, it was at this time that the swords and guns were densely distributed on the streets of the city in Tianjin, and the new army of Jingying and the security guards who were prevalent in Long, transported artillery, medicine and various protective equipment to the city wall.

After learning that there were various smashing and looting incidents against the Nanyue military system in the capital, Li Peiting, who was in charge of the overall situation in the Tianjin Trade Zone at this time, immediately issued an order, Long Shengxing and all the security guards of the Nanzhong business in the trade zone were concentrated, and the men who had received military training put down their work and reported immediately.

The mobilization system of the Nanyue Army has greatly opened the eyes of the officials and people of Tianjin, who yesterday were still in the shop and laughed and laughed, but overnight they became soldiers with swords and guns in helmets, armor and knives.

In the blink of an eye, Li Peiting had more than 4,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

Seeing such a friendly army suddenly appearing beside him, the rest of the new army in Beijing was also overjoyed. The new army, which was originally closely related to Longshengxing and the business zone, came to the door almost immediately and asked for a joint defense with Longshengxing, so that everyone could defend Tianjin together, advance and retreat together, and live and die together.

In addition to these two troops, the 1st Battalion of the Naval Division Lu Ying, which was stationed in Nigu, was also urgently transferred by Li Peiting to the Tianjin Trade Zone as an important force to protect this northern stronghold.

These three people, adding up to more than 10,000, suddenly made Li Peiting and the Nanzhong businessmen in Tianjin feel a lot more at ease. However, what I didn't expect was that without waiting for Li Peiting to send someone to send an official document to the Tianjin Governor Yamen in the name of the trade zone, the governors of the Tianjin Yamen reported to the trade zone together in neat clothes, announcing that the yamen in Tianjin accepted the commander of Liang Guogong, and only the prince of the country was the first!

As a result, on the flagpole in front of the Tianjin governor's yamen, the banner of Liang Guogong was raised. The mobilized troops of the new army in Beijing and the trade area, the security guards who prevailed in Long, the land battalion of the naval division of the Nanyue Army, and the officials and soldiers of the various yamen and battalions in Tianjin, organized teams to patrol back and forth inside and outside Tianjin, investigate spies, provide relief to the victims, and organize the people to build fortifications. It seems to emulate the posture of Suiyang Zhang Patrol.

After learning that the situation in Tianjin had evolved to such a point in Langfang, Gao Yigong couldn't help but feel murderous in his heart: "If it weren't for that group of poor literati making trouble, Tianjin could have been classified under Dashun with a piece of edict, but now, I can't think about it!" ”

"General Gao, this matter may not be." Wu Ruyi is in charge of Li Zicheng's old camp and the Chinese army all the year round, and is engaged in various administrative affairs, from money, food, weapons, to banquet arrangements, he is in charge. His role is basically that of an adjutant general or secretary-general. It is also because he has been engaged in such work for many years that he speculates about all kinds of thoughts in people's hearts than anyone in the Dashun court.

"Ziyi, you say!" Hearing Wu Ruyi say this, Gao Yigong keenly felt that there seemed to be room for relaxation in Tianjin's matter, if he could not move a single soldier and include Tianjin in his pocket, then his credit would be great! The right to speak in the Dashun court is also much greater.

"In Tianjin, the main force today, or the backbone of the former Ming officials who resisted the banner of our Dashun Heavenly Soldiers, is actually the Li family in Nanyue. His family's Longsheng, the naval division and the land battalion, mobilized thousands of soldiers and horses. However, these soldiers and horses have been gathered, and they have not done anything other than to defend the city, what does this mean? It's nothing more than waiting for the price to sell, bargaining! To put it mildly, it means that the girl in the kiln advertises herself as a bullshit and does not sell herself! ”

These words immediately made Gao Yigong smile, originally! The sky-high price is repaid on the spot, and it has been like this since ancient times. I have to make some gestures to make Dashun feel that the appeasement is worth it. In order to better ask for a price to sell yourself to.

However, the next day, when Gao Yigong and Wu Ruyi were preparing to go to Tianjin, an urgent document was delivered to the two of them. In addition to this document, there was another urgent military information delivered: "In the direction of Tianjin, the Nanyue Army is coming in the direction of Beijing with 2,000 elites as the lead!" ”

"Two thousand soldiers and horses as the forward, into Beijing? What are they going to do? ”

The official letter jointly written to the Dashun court in the name of the merchants of Nanzhong at the same time as this military information arrived at the same time, which explained the purpose of their trip.

In the official document, all the Nanzhong businessmen were the first to learn that there was a smashing, looting, and burning incident against the Nanzhong merchants in Beijing, so they gathered their comrades and went to Beijing to help. We must save our peers and companions from that precarious situation. I hope that the Dashun army will not misunderstand and will not block their way into Beijing.

"Hey! You are going to bring troops into Beijing to pick you up, and tell me not to misunderstand, not to block your way into Beijing??! Gao Yigong shook this official document in his hand, not angry but laughing.

"Ziyi, you send someone to tell them, in order to avoid misunderstanding, let them stop moving forward first. By the way, if Ben Jue doesn't agree with them to have so many soldiers and horses enter Beijing, what can they do? Gao Yigong had a cruel smile on his face.

A general of the Dashun army flew out of the east gate of Guangyang County with dozens of cavalry, and greeted the marching brigade of the Nanyue Army along the official road in the direction of Tianjin to convey Gao Yigong's order.

"That's easy! If you don't cooperate and don't agree with us to enter Beijing, then we will open our mouths with cannons and speak, and we will see a real chapter on our swords and guns. Let's go to Beijing! ”

"At that time, everyone's face will not look good!"

The tooth general saw Li Peiting, and just opened his mouth to explain his intentions, he was beaten by Li Peiting with a split head and face, and the tooth general came back with a disgraced face.

At the same time, he brought back the news that Li Peiting had ordered to temporarily stop shipping grain to Beijing. At the same time, in the direction of Cangzhou, the boats on the canal also turned around and went south back to Shandong.

Not only did they cut off the supply to Beijing City in terms of materials, but they began to blockade the Dashun Army, and at the same time continued to march in the direction of Beijing City, ignoring the small forces of the Dashun Army that snooped along the way.

"They are all officers and soldiers who have surrendered to thieves, and their combat effectiveness is not good." The rest of the new army in Beijing was very clear about the details of these rangers, and their faces were full of disdain.

The procession of thousands of people continued to march along the official road from Tianjin to the capital, and one hundred and ten large flags sounded fiercely under the north wind.

got the news sent by Pegasus, a meritorious person in the first year of high school, and the high-level Dashun leaders in Beijing were suddenly so angry that they were fried.

"Arrogant!"

"Rude!"

"Jumping clown!"

Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others in Wuying Hall couldn't help but let out a scolding sound. The generals of the Dashun Army jumped to their feet and cursed, and words such as "donkey balls", "mongrells", "****" and so on came out one after another. Frequently scolded in an angry tone. Li Zicheng was also trembling with anger, he never thought that a group of small Nanzhong businessmen would dare to assemble an army of 2,000 people to enter Beijing, which was really unbearable!

"Your Majesty, it is not good for this generation not to teach you a lesson. They've already hit the door, and if they don't meet the head-on, they'll continue to make inroads. Even Li Yan, who has always been old and regent, also advocates promoting peace through war.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were still some reserves of grain and rice materials in the capital, so that there would be no risk of shortage, he hurt him first and forced him to open the grain road. Then let's negotiate with them slowly! ”

Li Yan's proposition is very much in line with Li Zicheng's thoughts, originally! Naturally, the emperor wanted to ask for non-ministers. When he issued an order, he ordered the soldiers and horses of Dashun in Tongzhou and Yongqing at this time to be under the command of Gao Yigong, and to attack the soldiers and horses of the Nanyue Army who were arrogant and rebellious to the west.

When this will was written by Niu Jinxing's pen and snake, and someone printed it, Luo Hu, who had been observing coldly for a long time on the side, saw that everyone walked out of Wuying Hall with Li Zicheng's will of "everyone disperse", but he took a few steps forward, followed behind Li Shuangxi, and escorted Li Zicheng back to the harem.

"Huzi, do you have something to tell me? Just say something! After walking a few steps, Li Zicheng found Luo Hu behind him, he stopped and asked this adopted son who was really satisfactory to him in all aspects.

"Father, mobilize soldiers and horses to fight a battle with the soldiers and horses of Nanyue, and beat their arrogance, this son is in favor of raising his hands. However, when the soldiers and horses in Tongzhou and Yongqing were mobilized to fight them, his son was a little worried. I'm afraid that this battle will lose more and win less! ”

"But why do you say that?" Since crossing the river, everywhere he has been has been invincible, except for a few days in Ningwu, other places are basically marching all the way and surrendered, how can there be the possibility of defeating the battle? Regarding Luo Hu's warning, Li Zicheng couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart. However, he still endured his temper and listened to Luo Hu finish speaking.

"Father, you know, most of the officers and soldiers stationed in Tongzhou and Yongqing are former Ming officers and soldiers, and there are very few soldiers and horses in my Dashun's lineage. Even if there is, it is also some poles and horses in Henan and other places, compared with these surrendered soldiers, it is only fifty steps and a hundred steps. However, those Nanyue soldiers and horses were different. Although they are nominally militiamen, bodyguards and the like, they are all selected by the elite soldiers of a hundred battles. There are also soldiers and horses of the naval division and land battalion accompanying them. To be honest, the number of victories and defeats between my Dashun soldiers and horses and the new army of the Beijing camp is five or five, how can these soldiers be the opponents of the Nanyue army? Father, Mr. Lin Quan and Mr. Niu have all told us the allusions of 'Tian Ji Horse Racing' and 'Shang Si vs. Zhong Si', and you also said that this is also the way to use soldiers. However, now it is the other side who is doing it to me! Is there any justification for winning this battle? My son is worried, don't let this generation break my Dashun's sharpness and fall into the prestige of my father! ”

"Tell me what you're going to do!"

"Father, my son dared to ask for his life, and transferred my Zhenshan Battalion to Yongqing and Guangyang as soon as possible to support the army. One can act as a backup for Uncle Yigong, and the other can strengthen the courage of the soldiers in front. ”

Luo Hu's words made Li Zicheng very pleased, and the more he looked at Luo Hu, the more he liked it. Since the Dashun army entered Beijing, many people have been dancing with relish when it comes to the rank of officials and the beauties of the houses, but when it comes to fighting against the enemy, they are not so energetic. Many people said there in private: "Follow King Chuang to fight the country, fight in the south and the north for more than ten years, and now King Chuang is the emperor, and we have all been knighted, so it's time to live a few days of comfort." ”

Among the generals, only Luo Hu and Wang Si, the younger generation of generals, still retain that vigor and vigor. Now he is taking the initiative to ask for war and want to go to the front line of Jingdong, how can this not make Li Zicheng feel gratified in his heart?

"Huzi, you are good. I didn't misread you. Then follow me back and see your mother. Then have a meal with your brother Shuangxi, our father and son. It's also a great walk for you. When can I leave for Tianjin? ”

"The son will go back to the camp to prepare after the banquet of his father, and he can get up and leave Beijing tomorrow morning!"

"Good! You tell your uncle, you must beat this arrogant person, don't break my great name! ”

I have to say that Luo Hu's Zhenshan Battalion is a relatively strong modern army in the Dashun Army, and it can quickly change from a garrison state to a state of imminent battle at the sound of an order, and immediately dispatch. This alone is worthy of Li Zicheng's preference for him, and it is enough to silence the rest of the battalions and departments.

As the sky was twilight, a trumpet sounded, and the Zhenshan Battalion, which was stationed in the east of Beijing, went into action.

Hundreds of cavalry led by him galloped out, acting as scouts and rangers and sentry horses on both wings for the whole army brigade, patrolling and monitoring the roads. Afterwards, thousands of horses rushed out of the camp gate, and hundreds of columns were pulled out by five horsemen and one column, forming a long marching procession on the official road.

After several miles of cavalry, there were the infantry and artillery teams and baggage vehicles of the Zhenshan battalion. Tens of thousands of horses opened a march sequence of dozens of miles on the official road and quickly headed east.

"Master General, we have such a big battle in action, it seems that we haven't had it since we beat Sun Chuanting, right?" Under Luo Hu's general's flag, the leader of his own soldiers talked to him with a smile. "It's a bit of a lion fighting a rabbit with all its might, right? There are also tens of thousands of horses in the east, commanded by the high general. Coupled with our tens of thousands of people, didn't the team on the opposite side say that there were only a few thousand people? It's a pile of people, and it's also a pile of people to kill that group of Nanban! ”

"Do you think we will win this battle?" Luo Hu is not as optimistic as his general. He rubbed his face that was a little wooden, "It's not like you haven't been to Shandong with me." Have you forgotten how those people on the other side played? The group of former Ming soldiers commanded by the senior general in the east can withstand the fire or artillery bombardment? But I am afraid that if a round of fire comes down, they will be defeated like sheep! ”

Speaking of this, Luo Hu couldn't help but shudder, he shook his cloak outward, "Pass the order, the front military horse team will speed up, and the infantry fork behind will be released to Lao Tzu!" We have to hurry to Guangyang and Yongqing! lest the group of guys who can eat will pit the high general! ”

As Luo Hu's general order was transmitted by the drum officers around him with horns and drums, the marching speed of the Zhenshan Battalion suddenly went up a notch. The cavalry turned their horses from broken steps to galloping, and the cavalry of the brigade rushed down the official road, spreading like a flood on both sides of the official road. The infantry behind threw off their legs and hurried forward.

"I hope Uncle Yigong hasn't fought with that group of Nanban at this time. Otherwise, those tofu-like soldiers and horses under his command will definitely kill him, and at that time, how should I explain when I see my mother!? Luo Hu prayed secretly in his heart, praying for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas.

In fact, when Luo Hu prayed to all the gods and goddesses to make a wish, Gao Yigong was commanding more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Dashun army, which were lined up outside Guangyang County, ready to attack the soldiers and horses of the Nanyue army from afar, so that they could know the benefits and disadvantages of our Dashun army. Then obediently sit down to negotiate with us and accept our appeasement.

However, when more than 2,000 soldiers and horses of the Nanyue Army from afar slowly appeared in everyone's field of vision, and then quickly lined up the formation, there began to be some commotion in the Dashun army array.

As Luo Hu said, most of these soldiers and horses were surrendered by the former Ming officers and soldiers. The armor was inadequate, the horses were weak, and the soldiers were in arrears for too long. Although the food and grass and military salaries were guaranteed after the surrender, the combat effectiveness of the troops could not be improved so quickly.

Although it is said that relying on the strength of the crowd, the array can also cheer each other and strengthen their courage, looking at the Nanyue soldiers and horses who are rapidly relying on the terrain to launch an offensive formation, shouting and scolding, noisy for a while, a group of donkeys who are alive. There are no fangs and claws, and only the mouth can be used as a weapon. Sure enough, when facing the battalion of the Navy Division and the Lu Battalion, which served as the vanguard of the soldiers and horses in Nanyue, the true colors of this group of donkeys were exposed in front of the tigers.

The naval division and land battalion are just the opposite of these guys, even in the Nanyue Army, they also belong to a team that only attacks but does not defend, and has no advance or retreat. (There is no way to do it, the combat mission they are engaged in, in addition to gang jumping, is to forcibly land, open a breakthrough for the brigade, and establish a landing field.) It's all about facing the work of the cannonballs, bullets, knives and guns, not to mention the rout, even if you are a little timid and hesitant, you will be eaten to death by the other party! ）

What Luo Hu has always been worried about is the so-called situation of "the upper and lower divisions" formed by the large gap in combat effectiveness between the two troops, but compared with the naval division and land battalion, which regards the rain of artillery falling on their side as a commonplace, these troops are undoubtedly not even inferior troops!

Sure enough, when the soldiers and horses of the naval division and land battalion slowly pulled out an extremely wide platoon and pressed over, these soldiers were in a constant commotion. Some people plan to rush forward, while others plan to repeat their old tricks and turn around and flee.

A round of firearms rang out, helping them to make up their minds.

"Run!"

Thousands of defeated soldiers carried Gao Yigong, Wu Ruyi and others, and flew through Guangyang County, and fled to Dong'an County before they barely stopped. (To be continued.) )
