Chapter 126: The Influence of the Han Army
Ay! The country is the world~
The family is still the king, and the family is still the idea from the bottom of the heart. After some struggle, Chen Cifu finally made up his mind.
"Holy." Chen Ge Lao bowed deeply, from this moment on, he would betray the scribe class, and the rest of his life would live and die together in this dynasty.
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then boundless exhaustion immediately came.
"Yes, Elder Chen Ge, sit down." The voice of the emperor was faint and weak.
Chen Yanxin was stabbed, and immediately waved his hand to let Wang Chengen retreat after seeing the salute, and the old eunuch looked at the emperor and retreated.
Seeing that the elder pavilion was so solemn, Chongzhen also recovered a lot of spirits, and he quietly looked at the scholar in the hope of hearing the real good strategy to save the country.
"Holy Lord, please allow the old minister's family to go to Lingnan secretly." Chen Yan firmly said that he had decided to become a benevolent if he did not succeed.
Emperor Chongzhen's face was cold, but he quickly said in surprise: "Does the pavilion always want to break the kettle and sink the boat to get rid of all worries?" ”
Chen Yan smiled and nodded, the saint was not decadent, they still had a glimmer of hope.
"Can the Holy One agree?"
Chongzhen nodded deeply: "Accurately, I will let the Changping Gang take care of one or two." ”
Huh~ Chen Yan knew that he had made the right bet.
"Thank you, Holy Lord, the old minister is willing to rest with the country."
"I have been in power for sixteen years, but the state affairs are becoming more and more difficult, and the elder can teach me!" Chongzhen really has no choice, he can't save the situation with all his efforts for more than ten years.
Chen Yan sighed and shook his head: "The saint doesn't need to blame himself, natural disasters and man-made disasters are corrupt in the civil and military, and the people's grievances are boiling, this is the catastrophe of the destiny of heaven." ”
"Please add the crown prince to lead the capable civil and military soldiers Ding to lead the south and north of the Yangtze River, and the prince should be the internal repair of the civil and military affairs, the south of Anling, and the internal defense of the north and south. If there is a change in the north, the Ming Dynasty can still stand according to the river, lying on the salary and trying to recover. ”
The Han army landed in Shandong, and the general troops in Shandong immediately disobeyed the imperial court. It also made Chongzhen understand that the momentum of warlords in various places has accumulated and it is difficult to return. In the future, even if the Central Plains changes dramatically, the old Zhu family and the Nanjing Six Divisions can make a comeback. But the actions of the million-strong army in Jiangnan completely chilled Zhu Youzhen's heart. Recently, he learned that the Jiangnan Ming Army is also all waste, and most of them are disloyal!
Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Chen Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the Han army to tear through Daming's vain skin, he would never dare to say so. If he dared to do this before, Emperor Chongzhen would have cut him down as soon as possible. The Han army returned south and swept thousands of troops, which also made Chongzhen have to believe in the facts.
Chongzhen pondered for a long time and finally spoke: "The elder of the pavilion can propose the imperial front tomorrow morning, and he will take the defeat of Jiangnan as an opportunity to return to Nanjing." ”
"It's holy. Please also ask the Holy One to eat and recuperate. Chen Yan was very happy: the prince returned to Nanjing, and the Ming Dynasty could at least retain its foundation.
Chongzhen rarely smiled: "Accurate." ”
"The old minister retired." Seeing that the emperor agreed, Chen Yan also left with peace of mind.
Soon the small dishes that were not rich were delivered, and after a simple meal, Chongzhen asked a few eunuchs and palace maids to retreat.
Chongzhen is really difficult, the eldest son died early at the beginning of the year, and the current prince is only twelve years old, and the fifth son is only ten years old.
Daming Palace seems to be cursing the sons of the emperor, and most of the princes of the palace have died early in the past hundred years. The children of the Emperor of the Apocalypse are even more difficult to live for a year, and it is Zhu Youzhen's turn to ascend the throne and bear the black cauldron of the Ming Dynasty.
The crown prince will leave Beijing, and Chongzhen cannot leave the variable of the five princes.
"Cheng'en, let Jinyiwei secretly send Cihuan to Changping!" After finishing speaking, the emperor only felt a little powerless. The heart of the northern nine-border army has changed, and there are two major threats to the Dashun Manchu Qing Dynasty. What's even more hateful is that the Guanning army, which is fed by the power of the Ming Dynasty, can no longer be mobilized.
The Han army defeated the Ming army, but did not capture Nanjing. This also makes Chongzhen very happy, if Nanjing is also over, then Daming is really it!
"Respect the Holy One, I'll do it!" The old eunuch is also physically and mentally exhausted, and he has also broken his heart for this Daming Palace for more than ten years!
Zhu Youzhen asked his five sons to go to Lingnan in order to have a chance that he could leave a piece of blood in the world. It is also in order to stabilize the country, the Ming Dynasty can no longer withstand the palace changes, and it is even more out of the Ming court.
Shi Kefa was still in a mess in Yangzhou, and he didn't have the face to go back to Nanjing. He resigned from the post of secretary of the military department and asked himself to supervise Jiangbei. The princes of Nanjing were also happy to keep Shi Kefa away from the six departments, but fortunately, Shi Kefa's defense of Yangzhou could be regarded as a credit and demerit.
After the departure of the Han army, the generals of the Ming army also recognized their weakness and incompetence. Before, they were able to defeat the army of thieves in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, so that the Dashun Army and the Great Western Army could never gain a foothold in the north and south of the river. The brilliant achievements of the Ming army also made them proud and complacent, and they thought that their combat strength was already first-class in the world.
But the Han army's few victories swept sideways, trampling their faces to the ground. The Han army won a great victory and the Ming army was defeated, but it also woke up the powerful dream of the Ming army in Jiangnan.
Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo and other general soldiers also began to recruit troops and strictly train their subordinates. The hugely greedy bureaucrats also began to attach importance to armaments, and no longer dared to excessively withhold ordnance and silver.
Chen Xiong swept all the way and was invincible, without breaking the foundation of the Ming army, which was just right to make the Ming army ashamed and brave.
The most important thing is that the birth of the Han army also awakened the confidence of many Han people. The truth summed up by the Ming Dynasty for decades: Jurchen is invincible if it is not full of 10,000. Regardless of the Northern Army or the Southern Army, the elite soldiers from all over the Ming Dynasty were defeated in Liaodong. But after the sudden appearance of the Han army, the truth has become: the Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000, and they are full of 10,000 enemies.
The news that the Han army defeated millions of Ming troops in the north and south of the river also began to spread all over the world. Clippers and horses spread the astonishing news to every state capital and county.
On the way back to the south of the Han army, no city dared to resist. Everywhere the Han army went, all the squires were also welcoming and sending off. As soon as the Han army arrived, all major cities and small cities opened their doors to greet them.
The official squire was so polite, and Chen Xiong was not easy to use troops again, except for craftsmen, all food and other materials were purchased with silver. There is no need to even buy it, the general soldiers of the prefects of various families have taken the initiative to send food and medicinal materials.
There were too many mountains from Jiangxi to Guangdong, and the Han army could only cross Panyang Lake from the Jiujiang area into Hunan. Jiujiang is the land of fish and rice, and fearing that the Han army will leave behind and harm them, all the officers and gentry tried their best to send the Han army away as soon as possible.
As soon as they entered Hunan, the number of displaced soldiers increased, and the number of Han army headquarters began to skyrocket.
At this time, the main force of Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army had returned to Sichuan, and there were still 100,000 soldiers and horses in Changsha. After all, there were still a large number of Ming troops in the state capital near Hunan that threatened the Great Western Army, and it was difficult to get out without the main force after the army was broken.
Although the Great Western Army occupied many large cities, the local squires would not accept them at all, who only knew how to kill. The gentry and landlords in various places were armed, which was enough for the Great Western Army to be tired of defense, not to mention that the Ming army was all around.
The combat strength of the Ming Nine Sides is good, but the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in the south is not bad strictly speaking. At least they can go back and forth with the Rogue Army, and no one can please anyone.
How invincible the Dashun army that captured Jingshi next year was that it was slowly wiped out by the landlords' armed forces in the end. It can be seen that the gentry scattered in the countryside are very powerful.
Although Chen Xiong's Han army loved extortion, they did not kill people indiscriminately, let alone deceive people. At least he never took the initiative to kill, and he also respected the scribes and Han soldiers. Even on the battlefield, if you see it dressed as a scribe, as long as you don't threaten the Han army, you will let it go.
Yu Shigentry did not commit a crime, which is also the reason why the Han army had no psychological meeting, and the Han army rushed back to Guangzhou for the New Year on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Zhang Xianzhong, the king of Daxi, entered Shu, and it was his righteous son Li Dingguo who stayed in Changsha. Li Dingguo, who joined the rebel army at the age of ten, has a twisty and bizarre life, tragic and heroic.
