"Traitor, traitor. This is the living Cao Cao. How did you say that sentence, Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time. ”

In Chang'an City, Li Zicheng held a letter and said to the henchmen and generals around him.

"In vain, I saw that Zheng Zhilong was a loyal minister earlier, and I also envied the many capable people under Emperor Chongzhen's dog, one after another, and there were many people who served loyally. Then look at that Zheng Zhilong now,......" Li Zicheng shook his head, feeling that his eyes were really a little blind.

Zheng Zhilong first tore his face with the Jinling Imperial Court for the title, and then came to this letter to himself, the cunning and cunning people in this world are really outstanding.

"Zheng Zhilong is indeed vicious. Outside the military war, he earned a lot of fame, not to mention, and also washed away the stigma he had recently contaminated. He also asked His Majesty to take the opportunity to go out of Wuguan, take Jingxiang, and seek an opportunity to go south. He is not rescuing us, but to block Emperor Chongzhen. ”

Gu Junen had already read the letter, and he really admired Zheng Zhilong's calculations in his heart.

Zheng Zhilong stretched out his hand to Jinling to ask for the king, which means that the Zheng family has officially joined the Central Plains. Now they occupy Qilu, but they are backed by Nanyang, and there is no shortage of money, food, and materials. With a firearms army with strong combat effectiveness, how can you not chase that dragon chair?

Li Zicheng, who was beaten by the Tartar infantry cavalry, and his gang had a very say in the combat effectiveness of the Zheng army, which was full of Tartar infantry cavalry.

And Zheng Zhilong pulled Li Shun at this time, that is, he wanted Li Shun to drag Emperor Chongzhen's hind legs.

"With a sharp weapon, the murderous intent arises. Zheng Zhilong has such a strong army in his hands, and the ghost is willing to run to Nanyang. "Niu Jinxing's conceit is that Zheng Zhilong, who has been reversed a few years ago.

Looking at Zheng Zhilong's earlier actions, he did have the idea of going to Nanyang to cut land and become the king. It's just that Emperor Chongzhen of Jinling is too unlucky, and the Zhu family can't hold the country, so Zheng Zhilong can naturally reach out and get it. Li Yan glanced at the silent Song Xiance and said: "Zheng Jun raised the flag according to Qilu, and let Haizhou and other places give Jinling, it must be the Tartars of Yanjing as the opponent." Allowing Zhu Ming to recuperate in the south in peace like this is what the hero wants? ”

"It makes sense." Everyone nodded in unison.

This is the same as Li Zicheng's early attack on Hanzhong, he fought with Zhu Ming here, but asked Zhang Xianzhong to develop steadily on one acre and three points of land in Sichuan and Shu, and Li Zicheng was unwilling.

Thinking of Zhang Xianzhong, Song Xiance's eyes lit up, and he hugged his fists and said to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, since our army is about to abandon Guanzhong and go south, why not entrust Hanzhong, Fengxiang and other places to the Eight Kings (Zhang Xianzhong)?" This move will not only add new enemies to the Tartars, but also make good alliances with Onishi and restore the relationship between the two families. It is also very beneficial for His Majesty to settle in Jingxiang. ”

Li Zicheng applauded. This is a good idea, using the territory he wants to lose to attract a wolf, then it will definitely make the Manchus suffer, and it will be quite beneficial to himself.

"Good idea, good idea, really good idea!"

This clever strategy washed away a lot of reluctance and gloom in Li Zicheng's heart. Let him really smile on his face, in this way, the most important thing for Li Shun now is when to retreat, and then how to retreat.

"When to retreat? I want to withdraw now. A touch of gloom flashed on Li Zicheng's face, but then he lifted his spirits, and said: "I have seen the strength of the Tartars with my own eyes. Zheng Zhilong will never fight with Dolgon. So, don't look at the Tartars who have just withdrawn, but there is not much time left for us. ”

So it's better to leave early. Li Zicheng still has this decision.

And compared to the defeated soldiers who were beaten only a few remnants of the defeated generals to drill woods and caves, just like when he was beaten by Hong Chengchou and ran to Shangluo Mountain, he still has a certain strength now, and he can go south with tens of thousands of old battalion soldiers and horses, so the ending is much better.

Therefore, in early April, Li Zicheng suddenly led the army south, leaving the former battalion general Yuan Zongdi to guard Chang'an, and let Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army go north to Hanzhong into Fengxiang Mansion, and he led the army out of Wuguan and south into Nanyang. Defeated Li Guoying, the commander of Nanyang of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. This person was originally the general of the left battalion, but he was one of the few generals in the thirty-sixth battalion, but his bones were softer and his vision was worse.

Since Li Guoying has been defeated, Li Zicheng will go to Xiangyang and join Bai Wang's army in the city.

This can make the generals Jin Shenghuan, Ma Jinzhong, and Wu Xueli south of the Yangtze River feel threatened, and Jinling City has not yet sent it over, so they themselves will go through the horses and horses first, and they will be ready for battle.

But for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although Li Zicheng's actions were fast, he was really not much of a threat to them.

If Jin Shenghuan and they can hold the Yangtze River, then Li Zicheng will fall into a desperate situation, and if they can't hold the Yangtze River, then the unlucky one is also the pig emperor of Jinling City. They won't focus on Li Zicheng at this stall.

The Manchu Tartars' energy was concentrated outside the Guan, lest the news of the fall of Shengjing and the destruction of Zhaoling come to pass, and on the other hand, they had to keep an eye on Zheng Zhilong. Then he secretly released the words that the Twelve Emperors of Zhu Ming could be all in Gyeonggi.

But Zheng Zhilong didn't pay attention to it at all, and after breaking Kaifeng City, the soldiers and horses went north to the Daimyo's mansion, and then transferred to Linqingzhou, and went to the river along the canal.

This time, Cangzhou became Zheng Zhilong's key target, but Hejian Mansion was left behind by him. Because the Grand Canal passes Cangzhou City.

To the north of Cangzhou, there are Xingji and Qingxian, and then there is Jinghai, and the north of Jinghai is not Jinmen?

The Manchus still did not have enough troops.

The Azig Ministry has been sent by them to the outside of the pass, and the soldiers and horses in the pass are still in the middle of the road, and the soldiers and horses sent back by the Duoduo Department are also on the way, and Hauge has reached here again with the remnants of the defeated army.

Cangzhou is also Changlu, this place is low and flat, and the ups and downs are not large, so there are many rivers. Listening to its nickname, you can understand one or two - the bottom of the nine rivers.

The three major water systems converge in Cangzhou here, running through the southeast and northwest, and intersecting vertically and horizontally. There are more than 20 rivers that converge in 9 places to enter the sea, many wetlands and a huge reed sea, which in the words of later generations is to maintain a good ecological environment. In the words of the present era, it is like the vast reeds in the north of the Huai River, where crops are difficult to grow, because the sea water will back up earlier, and even after the sea level has dropped, there will be salt accumulation on the land, and the land here can only be barren.

And also because there are many reeds, there is also a lot of fuel, so it has become the salt control center of North China.

Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty restored the Changlu Salt Farm, Zheng Jun has frequently come here to sweep and know the situation here very well.

Haoge's initial plan was not to hold on to Cangzhou, but to do tricks in the canal, sink ships one after another, and block the river.

In this way, he was defeated again in Cangzhou, and Zheng Zhilong was subject to the canal, so he could only slow down his speed. As it turned out, Hauge he succeeded.

The Qingyang River is the nearest river in the south of Cangzhou, flowing from west to east and flowing into the Bohai Sea. Naturally, the canal has to go through the river. Here Hauge sank ten boats laden with sand, earth and bricks, and cut down the trees around him to make stakes in the river.

Zheng Jun naturally wanted to salvage the boat and remove the wooden stakes, so that the canal could be dredged. This requires a lot of manpower and time. In order to prevent the construction site from being attacked by the Qing army, the Zheng army set up a number of garrison positions in the east, west, north and south of the confluence of the canal and the Qingyang River.

Especially the position in the north, which is facing Cangzhou City in pairs. As the garrison of the Zheng army, there are not only two teams of troops stationed here, but also four five-pound cannons and more than ten tiger squat cannons and mortar cannons.

But this is too small compared with the construction site at the confluence of the Qingyang River and the canal in the rear.

It's noon, and it's time to eat. The prisoners, who had toiled all morning, were automatically divided into teams, each in a fairly neat column according to the number of the unit, waiting in front of the "kitchen".

After all, they are all captured Qing soldiers, even if it is just a green flag, there are still necessary training qualities.

Coupled with the sticks and leather whips in the hands of the instructors of the labor camp, these Green Flag soldiers who participated in the 'labor camp' at the latest in the Daimyo Mansion all showed their due qualities.

The team stood quite neatly, even more neatly than they had been when they were the second tartars.

Surrounded by a shed of "overseers", each soldier held a musket with a bayonet in his hand. The foreman, a fat man in his thirties, was now standing in front of the "kitchen" in the middle, holding a whip the thickness of a thumb in his hand. By these days, he had been teaching the captives how to line up with sticks and whips. And his identity was a green flag commander a month ago.

In Zheng Junjun, queuing is a very basic organizational order. The militarized labor camps are no exception.

However, the captives were still short of time, and now that it was time to divide the meal, although there were foremen in each team to maintain order, some of the teams were still a bit chaotic, and everyone wished they could be at the front. It was only under the threat of the overseers outside that the order of the team was preserved.

"These are just underbeaten!" The fat man was very unhappy with this.

As a former Green Flag officer, or a former Ming Army officer, the reason why this fat man was able to become a foreman was because he had his own philosophy of life.

As soon as he entered the labor camp, he actively approached the correctional officers, so he stood out from the crowd and became one of the early cadres valued by the correctional officers, and eventually became one of the foremen.

The fat man knows his identity very well, he is obedient to the corrections, flattering, and full of good words, and treats the labor prisoners below strictly, and the workload is only allowed to be too much and not unfinished. In the end, he was able to take the lead, not because he was harsh and strict with his subordinates.

After all, the identity is different. When I first led the troops, it was best to love the soldiers like children. And now, only by setting himself up on the opposite side of the people below, Shangfeng will not be suspicious of him.

Only the more harsh you are to your subordinates, the more you can get the heart of the seal.

And in the process, he also carefully observed everyone under his hands, and picked out those who were soft and dog-legged, and became the small foreman under his current command.

In the words of the past, these people were his family members. And he, isn't he the "family" of the corrections?
