"Guangshan Bo Liu Tichun, Taiping Bo Wu Ruyi, Wushan Bo Ma Shiyao, Wuyang Bo****, Pingnan Bo Liu Zhong, Wenshui Bo Chen Yongfu, Taoyuan Bo Bai Guangen, Queshan Bo Wang Liangzhi, Jingshan Bo Chen Xin, Huo Shan Bo Luohu, Yan Ling Bo Liu; Thirty sons, Ningling Zitianhu, etc.; There are fifty-five males, and the Linqu male high school has one merit. ”

In this list of canonized titles, there are many names familiar to Chongzhen and the civil and military officials present. Among them, in addition to the old men like Liu Tichun, ****, Luo Hu, and Gao Yigong, there are also many names of former Ming army generals and officials, such as Wenshuibo Chen Yongfu, Taoyuan Bo Bai Guangen, Queshan Bo Wang Liangzhi and others, Chen Yongfu is the Henan general soldier guarding Kaifeng, Bai Guangen is also the chief soldier in the Shaanxi army, as for Wang Liangzhi, who was named Queshan Bo, it is simply the Ming general Wang Genzi who surrendered in Xi'an.

Listening to the words of the former thief Li Zicheng Ming, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the throne, and looked at the court clothes of Mansy Luo silk below, red and blue, the complement of the crane, the complement of the peacock, the complement of the hedgehog, the jade belt, the rhino horn belt, and the full of clothes and beasts.

At this time, the ministers and ministers dressed in animal court clothes were silent. Emperor Chongzhen looked at it expressionlessly, in the past, if there was such a thing as a court meeting, it was inevitable that the officials would have a war of words, and all kinds of unnutritious things were flying all over the sky, but in addition to attacking each other, no one could come up with a set of effective plans.

Chen Yongfu didn't care, he defended until the city of Kaifeng was broken, and he surrendered in desperation, which is understandable. However, Bai Guangen's house! Hearing that the former Ming army generals had become Dashun upstarts at this time, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a pain in his head like a pinprick, and his eyes couldn't help but turn black.

"Bai Guangen, Bai Guangen!" Chongzhen kept repeating the name in his heart, "You were originally the leader of the thieves and monkeys. After returning to the imperial court, I remembered that you had made meritorious contributions to suppressing thieves, and did not hesitate to hold official positions in many ways, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful! ”

After Sun Chuanting's defeat, Chongzhen ordered Jinyi Wei to take Sun Chuanting's lock into Beijing for questioning, and at the same time adjusted the deployment, lest Li Zicheng take the opportunity to cross the Yellow River and take Shanxi. Threaten the Kyoshi. "Reply to the military department to order Jin, Henan, Bao, and Dongsi Fu, each of them to organize their troops and horses, personally stationed in the river, cooperate to block the palace, and not allow a thief to peep into the crossing." He also ordered Bai Guangen to be promoted to the chief officer of the reinforcement and suppression, hung the seal of General Kou, allocated 30,000 soldiers, and ordered him to command the soldiers and horses in Shaanxi.

But the decree has just been issued. However, news came from Shaanxi, Bai Guangen, Niu Chenghu and others all surrendered to Li Zicheng. Only Gao Jie's men fled to Shanxi, surviving for a long time. At this time, although the remnants of the officers and troops who retreated to Tongguan still had 40,000 soldiers in name, they were already frightened birds, their morale was low, there was a lack of food and grass, and their equipment and artillery were completely lost, and they did not have much combat effectiveness.

Just when the officers and soldiers were respite. After Li Zicheng merged Luo Rucai and He Yilong, he gained the greatest power in the entire peasant army. began the campaign to annihilate the rest of Sun Chuanting's troops in Shaanxi. According to Li Zicheng's deployment, Li Yan was ordered to lead Tian Jianxiu, Li Yu, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing and others to stay in Luoyang and take charge of all things in the rear. He himself, together with Liu Zongmin and others, led the main force of the righteous army, attacked Tongguan from Luoyang to the west, and then advanced to Xi'an; At the same time, Yuan Zongdi, Bai Minghe, Liu Tichun, and Lan Yingcheng were sent to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses in the right battalion as a partial division and set off from the Dengxian area of Henan. Take the Shangluo area of Shaanxi Province and join the main force in Xi'an.

As a result, under the powerful offensive of the peasant army, the defeated generals who were already without fighting spirit were even more demoralized, which turned the so-called impregnable Tongguan Tianwei into tofu scum! Several points on the periphery were overwhelmed. The military flag of the peasant army goes straight to the bottom of the city!

The Ming army, which was originally camped outside Tongguan City and waited to meet the enemy, faced with such a situation, who had the heart to fight? I think about my wife and children who live in Sekijo! As soon as the cannon sounded, the soldiers scrambled to flee into the city, "to protect their wives and children, and to get out", and some soldiers were anxious to enter the city and used knives to split the fence of Nanshui Pass. The rebels followed and took advantage of the situation to occupy Tongguan, and Sun Chuanting's deputy envoy Qiao Yuanzhu was killed in the chaos.

As soon as Tongguan was broken, the gateway to Xi'an was opened. Li Zicheng left Ma Shiyao to guard Tongguan, and the troops continued to advance. When the rebels arrived in Weinan, Yang Xuan, the magistrate of the Ming Dynasty, "took the city to defend his sons", but the county raised the king's order to open the door to welcome the rebels into the city. On the 10th day of October, Li Guo's forward army conquered Lintong County. The next day, we arrived at the city of Xi'an. Since the elite of the Shaanxi official army had been annihilated, the garrison of Xi'an was very weak, and the local officials left 5,000 Sichuan soldiers passing through Xi'an to assist in the defense.

At this time, the weather was already relatively cold, and the Sichuan soldiers had no warm clothes. The bureaucrats persuaded Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, to take out some money to buy cotton clothes for the soldiers in order to boost morale. However, the inferior nature in the blood of the old Zhu family broke out again at this critical moment, and the request to buy warm clothes for the 5,000 Sichuan soldiers was rejected by Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, and Wang Genzi, the deputy general of the city guard, was greatly dissatisfied and decided to surrender to the rebels. He wrote a letter of dispatch and sent it to the city, and opened the east gate to welcome the rebels into the city. On October 11, Li Zicheng's rebel army occupied the ancient capital of Xi'an. Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, was captured alive, Feng Shikong, the governor of Shaanxi, and Huang Jiong, the envoy of the inspection, were killed, and Lu Zhiqi, the political envoy, surrendered. The rebels immediately set about reassuring the people, "ordering that no one should be killed in vain, and that those who mistake will pay for their lives." The situation in Xi'an was quickly stabilized.

The right battalion of the righteous army under the command of Yuan Zongdi and others, after setting out from the Nanyang area of Henan, entered Shangzhou, Shaanxi Province on October 12, conquered the city on the 15th, and executed Huang Shiqing, a Ming Dynasty Shangluo Dao who drove the people to resist. On the 17th, Luonan County was occupied. Victoriously joined forces with Li Zicheng's main force in Xi'an.

Li Zicheng led a large army composed of the rear battalion of Li Guo's department and the left battalion of Liu Fangliang's department, pursued the remnants of the Ming army to the north, captured Yulin and other cities, and captured northern Shaanxi; Gao Yi's power department went south to Hanzhong, pursued the Ming general army Gao Ruli's department, and opened up the hole road to Sichuan in the south; Liu Zongmin, He Jin, Yuan Zongdi and others pursued westward and captured Ningxia, Gansu, Xining and other places.

The army under the command of Li Zicheng, Li Guo, and Liu Fangliang arrived in Yan'an in November. In addition to the original garrison in northern Shaanxi, there was also the headquarters of Gao Jie, the general soldier of the Ming army, who fled from Shanxi to northern Shaanxi after Sun Chuanting's defeat, intending to recruit soldiers and horses in this area to supplement the strength of the soldiers.

is the so-called enemy who is very red when they see each other. I heard that Gao Jie, the traitor who was stained with the blood of his brothers on his hands and was in front of him, how could the generals of the peasant army let him go? In addition to the public anger on the surface, there is also a private reason that cannot be said by outsiders, that is, Gao Jie abducted Li Zicheng's concubine Xing and added an environmental protection logo to King Li Chuang's head, which is no less hateful than the hatred of killing his father.

Gao Jie is also very clear about what he has done. Knowing that he was too ruthless to his old partners after returning to the Ming army, he calculated that Li Zicheng could accept the surrender of Bai Guangen and others, and he could recruit Chen Yongfu and his son to return to Shun, but if he Gaojie fell into the hands of the righteous army, he would have absolutely no way to live, so when Li Guo and other troops occupied Yan'an. He took advantage of the freezing of the Yellow River and fled into Shanxi again. After stepping on the ice and crossing the river, he ran all the way, out of Shanxi, and fled to North Zhili in Gyeonggi. Living next to Li Huayu's troops, this is a little frightened.

In November, He Jin led his troops to Gansu and conquered Anding in one fell swoop. Seeing that the situation was critical, the Ming Dynasty's Gansu commander-in-chief Ma Yi, deputy general Ouyang Gon and others persuaded Zhu Zhiyuhong, the king of Su, to go west to Ganzhou (now Zhangye). Conscription is stubborn. Zhu Zhiyu and Ma Lianzhan did not adopt this opinion. Ma Yi and the others fled to Ganzhou on their own. On November 21, the rebel army of He Jinsuo arrived in Lanzhou, and "the Lanzhou people opened the city to welcome the thieves". The king of Su, Zhu Zhiyuhong, fled out of the city in a hurry and was captured by Yang Qi, the outgoing general of the Ming Dynasty, as a welcome gift for his defection to the Cheng Yi army. He Jin was disgusted with him for selling his boss to gain wealth, and was neither loyal to the Ming Dynasty nor sincere to the rebel army. Therefore, he not only executed King Su. also beheaded Yang Qi's father and son.

He Jin left the party to guard Lanzhou, and he led his troops to continue westward. Mingliangzhou (now Wuwei, Gansu) and Zhuanglang Erwei surrendered successively, and the righteous army entered Ganzhou. Gansu Governor Lin Rirui, Chief Soldier Ma Yi and others organized a stubborn resistance. In December, the rebels crossed the river on ice and reached the bottom of the city. At that time, it was snowing heavily, and the snow was deep. The officers and soldiers who were forced to defend the city had chapped hands and feet, and even froze their fingers, and they all complained. However, the rebel soldiers were in high spirits, using the snow piles as a staircase to climb the city, and actively prepared for the siege. December 27th. "The defender leads the thief", and the rebels victoriously captured the city of Ganzhou. Lin Rirui, Ma Yi and others were all executed. After the occupation of Ganzhou, Suzhou (now Jiuquan, Gansu) and other places did not fight. He Jin sent officials in various prefectures and counties to pacify the localities, and the entire territory of Gansu was under the jurisdiction of the Dashun regime.

However, Lu Wenbin, the general of the Righteous Army (originally a general of the Ming Dynasty), who entered Qinghai on the order of He Jin, led his troops to Xining, but it was not so easy. was defeated by the soldiers and horses of the local Tusi Qi Tingji, Lu Yinchang and others, and Lu Wenbin was killed. After He Jin heard the news, he personally led the army from Ganzhou to Xining. Qi Tingzhi and the others were panicked, and Hu Lianqi, who joined the army, offered a plan: "He is brave, and I am outnumbered, so I can outwit but not be able to defeat the enemy."

He Jin annihilated the enemy, led the troops forward, beheaded Lu Yinchang, and annihilated all of them. However, the lone army went deep, and when it snowed heavily, the road was difficult to identify, and they were lured into an ambush circle by the people who came to deceive them, and they were killed in the ambush.

After He Jin was killed, his subordinates were eager for revenge, and under the leadership of Xin Sizhong, they conquered Xining and captured Tusi Qi Tingzhi alive. Li Zicheng then ordered Xin Sizhong to guard Xining, and urgently dispatched Yuan Zongdi to bring troops to pacify Qinghai.

Yuan Zongdi also went to Qinghai in his early years, which is commonly known as Xifandi, and knew a lot about the characteristics of this group of Wusi Tibetans and Mongols, and knew that all the belongings of these nomadic tribes were worn on their bodies, put in tents, and once something happened, they immediately packed up their tents and drove their cattle, sheep and horses away hundreds of miles away. Although the Dashun army was good at sports and long-distance raids, it did not have many advantages compared with these Usi Tibetans and Mongols.

However, this heavy snow also gave Yuan Zongdi a chance. In such a season, even if King Temujin and King Gesar were resurrected, they would have to find a wintering place to go to the cat, and wait until the winter had passed.

So, as long as you find a wintering place for these tribes to hide, you can dig up their nest!

For such things as attacking mountains and breaking villages and digging out old nests, Yuan Zongdi did a lot when he was in Shangluo Mountain, and he can be regarded as an expert. The most important thing to know is to understand the virtual reality in these camps, the geographical conditions, the terrain and features, how the defense is, and the various virtual and real situations in them. When the interrogation of the captives began, the Mongols and Us-Tibetans led the way to find the location of the wintering camp.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess the location of the wintering camp, no matter how nomadic tribes of cattle are, they are also inseparable from the land of water and grass to graze cattle, sheep and horses, and people also have to eat grain. With this most basic element in hand, Yuan Zongdi was able to roughly analyze where the Tibetans and Mongols were hiding in Qinghai Lake!

Tribes can hide, but there are also people who don't. Because, in response to that sentence, "If you can run, the monk can't run the temple!" "The large and small lama temples everywhere have no intention of hiding at all. It's still prayer flags fluttering, and trombones don't stop.

Just around Xining, with Qinghai Lake as the center, the so-called Haidong, Haixi, Haibei, Hainan, and Gannan are scattered all over the Mongolian tribes and the Wusi Tibetan tribes. These people are all embraces of Tibetan Buddhism. The splendid lama temples stand silently in front of Yuan Zongdi's eyes.

Under the offerings of the devout devotees, these lama temples were built with extraordinary grandeur, using gold grinding into gold dust to decorate Buddhist temples, and grinding coral, turquoise to paint murals and thangkas. Almost every temple has a huge wealth, the warehouse is full of grain, and the pasture is full of yaks and horses.

In the notes of the Qing Dynasty, there is such a description of Nian Qianyao, the general of Fuyuan who was in charge of the Qinghai military at that time, after destroying the Taer Temple in Qinghai, he obtained a wealth of 30 million taels of gold and never handed it over. This is an exaggeration. However, the amount of stored wealth in the Taal Monastery can also be inferred from it.

In the eyes of the lamas, although they have huge wealth, they don't care about the general Yuan in Xining City. Because, in this one-acre and three-third of Qinghai land, no one dares to fight the idea of the lamas! It's not just because they believe that they have a huge number of believers, and others don't dare to break ground on the head of the Buddha. In their respective temples, they not only have their own armed forces. It also has a large number of monks and young adults. These people can be used as cannon fodder to fight in a pinch.

(Before 59 years, in the lama temples in the Tibetan region, the lamas not only had prayer beads and all kinds of Tibetan Buddhist ritual instruments, but also Li Enfield rifles, Thomson submachine guns, and Browning machine guns. Call Airdrop. Cow, right? People can do ground-air synergy! ）

However, what did Yuan Zongdi come to Qinghai for? The first is to eliminate the remnants of the Ming army who fled here, the second is to recover the hometown of Hehuang and find the basis for the founding of the Great Shun Dynasty. That is, a financial road pointed out by Chen Guoxi that day, there is gold and silver everywhere, and cattle and horses everywhere!

It doesn't matter if you can't find the wintering camp of those tribes for a while, anyway, those lama temples are right in front of you! He simply threw the soldiers and horses out and took the cannon to worship the living Buddha to see if the living Buddha's practice reached a point where he could talk and laugh and treat the cannonball as nothing.

Although there were no eight-pounder cannons, twelve-pounder cannons, and Cron cannons, the rammed earth walls became extremely fragile under the bombardment of the big Buddha Lang machine and the six-pounder cannon that could fire ten-pounder cannons, and Yuan Zongdi had fought countless cities in various parts of the Central Plains and was accustomed to seeing all kinds of ********. In his opinion, such a stronghold as a lama temple is not even a warm-up level.

Sure enough, often after a few shells smashed into the rammed earth wall, the lama temple fell into chaos. Then came a drum.

Although there is no such thing as recorded in the notes of the Qing people, tens of millions of taels of gold can be seized by breaking a temple, but breaking a lama temple is not much worse than breaking a rich county town in the interior.

Looking at the yellow and clear wheat, barley, groups of yaks and fierce horses, those monks with empty and dull eyes, boxes of gold, silver and silk carried by the poor people in Langsheng, and all kinds of gold and silver magic utensils and Buddha statues indiscriminately packed in baskets, Yuan Zongdi couldn't help but wave the iron whip in his hand and laugh.

The Dashun army even went down the temple of the Buddha with a drum, and such a move was quickly blown all over the four directions by the white-haired wind on the grassland, which made the Tusi officials everywhere frightened.

The Buddha can't stand it, can we bear it?

This is a little thought that lingers in the minds of all the toast heads. Originally, when these nomads confronted the Central Plains regime, they were nothing more than you coming and me leaving, but today, they have encountered opponents who are also good at "walking", not only good at walking, but also good at chasing, and even better at digging out old nests. Several wintering camps have fallen, so that the tribal leaders, who used to rob others, have also tasted the taste of being served by others today.

The heroes do not suffer the immediate losses, and the toasts of Qinghai have been attached. Liu Zongmin also came good news from outside Jiayu Pass, Yumen Pass, Guazhou, Dunhuang and other places have been recovered, beheading thousands of Mongolian soldiers, capturing more than 10,000 people, recapturing tens of thousands of people, and capturing hundreds of thousands of cattle and horses.

Although Liu Zongmin and Yuan Zongdi were both famous generals in the Dashun Army, they were not people who lacked political acumen. Knowing what this victory meant for Dashun, who had just established the country, he immediately ordered Pegasus to report the victory to Li Zicheng in Xi'an City.

The great victory in the northwest and the recovery of the land abandoned by the Ming thieves for more than 100 years, this news was immediately drafted by Niu Jinxing, and the Ming issued a plaque to announce it to the world.

The news came to make Chongzhen in the Imperial Palace feel like pins and needles.

It must be known that his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, known as the most righteous in the country, is a figure who carried a three-foot sword to expel the Tartars and restore the mountains and rivers, and even if Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others established a regime, their legitimacy would be questioned. However, I don't know which god killed it, and gave Li Zicheng such a lack of moral idea to fight the Mongols and Wusi Tibetans and recover the so-called abandoned land of the past dynasties.

How can this make the people of the world look at me? You must know that I am the Son of Heaven who guards the country, and the king dies in the community, and he does not cede land, pay compensation, pay tribute, or pay tribute, and do not get along!

"How can this make me see the world!"

Chongzhen on the throne almost roared! (To be continued.) )
