Chapter 860: Qingshun Joint Attack Three-way Duel
Li Zicheng's deafening question made Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance couldn't help but tremble.
Among the two people, especially Song Xiance, the head of the household, was even more embarrassed.
After all, the previous peace talks with Li Xiao were presided over by him, and he did not hesitate to travel north and south to finally reach this agreement. And now, Li Xiao put forward such harsh conditions, intending to abolish the peace agreement, which naturally made Song Xiance feel extremely embarrassed, and it was almost difficult to sit down in his seat anymore.
It's hateful, the past year and a half has passed so fast. As if I didn't know what I had done, I passed it all at once.
During this period of time, the Tang army went on an expedition to Burma, swallowed foreign countries, and changed the land and returned to the stream, pacified the turmoil, and its country and overseas were all thriving.
On the other hand, in the Dashun Kingdom, although it has taken many measures, the population and economy have rebounded, and the firearms production industry has been initially built, compared with the Tang Army, the gap between it and the Tang Army has not narrowed, but has expanded.
It can even be said that when it comes to national strength and military strength, the gap between Dashun and the Tang Army is getting bigger and bigger, even to the point where it is almost desperate to catch up.
In this way, even if the Tang army fully abides by the agreement, waiting until the two years are full and then becoming an enemy of Dashun is actually of little significance, and it may be that by then, the gap between the two countries will only be wider and more desperate than it is now.
It's a pretty speechless result.
Thinking of this, Song Xiance couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The enemy is strong and we are weak, and the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger. Therefore, their decision to make a move now is actually completely expected.
Then, now that Tang Jun is planning to completely tear his face, then he can only deal with it head-on, even if he is reluctant.
He coughed lightly and carefully broke the silence: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of Weichen, Tang Jun's request is really unreasonable, but it is just to turn his face with my Da Shunming." It can be said that Li Xiao really doesn't want to abide by the agreement now, but wants to forcibly turn his face with me Dashun and make a big move. However, since they are already planning to turn their faces, how can I have no way to deal with it? The minister thought that he could do the following. ”
"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go! Damn, it's all burning in the ass, and it's still a crepe. Li Zicheng's face was full of anger and he yelled loudly with great impatience.
Song Xiance trembled, and subconsciously glanced at Niu Jinxing again, before he said urgently: "Your Majesty, as you can see from Weichen, if the Tang army wants to attack each other now, it will definitely attack from the north and south, and attack our Dashun with all its might, in order to achieve all the success in one battle." If this is the case, then my Dashun's defense should only be able to break through its division, and it must be done first in the north and then in the south. Our army should take advantage of the fact that the Tang army has not yet moved, and join forces with the Manchu Qing with the strength of the whole country to quickly destroy the Tang army with relatively weak forces in the north, and then turn around and make every effort to deal with the Tang army in the south. Weichen thinks that only by acting like this can he have a chance of winning. ”
"What? What do you say? Joining forces with the Tartars again? Li Zicheng frowned.
"Exactly." Song Xiance said: "In the past year and a half, although the number of troops and firearms of our army has increased greatly, compared with the Tang Army, both the number of soldiers and horses and the firearms and equipment are far inferior. If we only rely on our army's own strength to deal with the soldiers and horses of the fourth and thirteenth towns in the north of the Tang army, it is really more than enough to be more than enough. Even if you can overcome it with great effort, you will suffer a lot of losses, and the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, if our army can join forces with the Qing army and attack the Tang army in the two towns in the north, the chances of victory will be much greater, and the losses can be greatly reduced. Such a move is extremely beneficial to both Shunqing and Qing, so why not do it? ”
After Song Xiance finished speaking, Li Zicheng narrowed his eyes and was silent.
He must admit that Song Xiance's strategy is quite reasonable. The strength of one man is not comparable to the strength of two people. If you can contact the Qing army and attack the Tang army, which is still small in number in the north, it will undoubtedly increase your chances of victory.
What's more, both Qingshun and Qingshun have an urgent need for the elimination of the Tang army, so in this matter, it will definitely be very smooth if they can join forces and besiege together.
Li Zicheng was still groaning, and Niu Jinxing on the side interjected: "Your Majesty, what Song Shangshu said is very reasonable. Lao Chen also believed that the only chance for our army to win now was to immediately unite with the Qing army before the Tang army started, attack the Tang army in the north, and completely defeat it while it was unprepared. Next, our army will go all out to the south, and then try to defeat the Tang army in the south, and then defeat all the remaining forces of the Tang army. ”
Li Zicheng raised his head and asked angrily, "Okay." You two guys, you guys have a point in talking for a long time. In this case, who should be sent to the Qing court? ”
As soon as Li Zicheng's voice fell, Song Xiance hurriedly replied: "I am not talented, I am willing to send an envoy to the Qing court, and I will definitely be able to reach an agreement as soon as possible." ”
Song Xiance hurriedly expressed his position this time, and he saved the mistake of taking the initiative to reach a peace agreement with Li Xiao last time, hoping to calm Li Zicheng's dissatisfaction and anger in this way.
Sure enough, Li Zicheng saw that he took the initiative to come forward and expressed his willingness to send an envoy to the Qing court, and the expression on his face was greatly relaxed, he coughed lightly, and immediately said: "Okay, I don't talk nonsense with you, so I will take you as the chief envoy, and immediately lead a delegation to the Qing court, and agree with the Qing court to attack the Tang army, and attack together." ”
Song Xiance replied: "I promise to live up to my mission, and I will reach an agreement with the Qing court as soon as possible." ”
After the conversation was finished, Song Xiance immediately selected the messenger and set off in a hurry.
Because the land route of Shanhaiguan has been blocked by the Tang army, Song Xiance and his party had to start from Tianjin by boat from the sea, sail straight to Yingkou in Liaozhong, and after arriving at Yingkou, they immediately rushed north without stopping, and finally arrived in Shengjing after nearly ten days.
As if he had guessed the reason for Song Xiance's visit, as soon as he made his intention clear to the Qing garrison, he was immediately summoned by Dolgon.
In the living room of Dolgon's mansion, Song Xiance was summoned by Dolgon alone.
After Song Xiance walked into the living room, he was surprised to find that the regent Dorgon, who was only in his thirties, was far older than his peers, and his face was depressed and haggard.
Of course, he didn't know that for more than a year and a half, Dorgon's personal life was far less smooth than he imagined.
Due to the battle against the Tang army, the Qing army was defeated one after another, especially a year and a half ago, the king of Sanshun suffered a series of setbacks in southern Liaoning, which caused his prestige to be hit again and again, and the ministers of the court and the central government were also dissatisfied.
Compared to the damage to personal prestige, this is a small matter. What's even more hateful is that the Qing Dynasty did not vigorously improve its national strength and army during this time.
In the past year and a half, although the Tang army suspended its large-scale offensive, the soldiers and horses of the fifth town of the Tang army in the north, as well as the Jurchens and Mongols who were bought by the Tang army, constantly harassed the Qing state, plundered wealth, and killed the population, so that the Qing Dynasty was always in a state of turmoil, making it difficult for the residents to live in peace, and it was difficult for the national economy to develop.
Correspondingly, the population growth and ordnance building that the Qing court valued most were also greatly affected, and the number of soldiers and horses was even more different from a year and a half ago, and it was too different from the magnificent scene of soldiers and horses in the previous Huang Taiji era.
Therefore, when the Qing court carefully found out that the Tang army planned to tear up the face with Dashun and start a new war, Dolgon knew that what he was most worried about was finally coming.
Now that the Tang army has completely swallowed up the south, and has taken the foreign country of Burma as its territory, and the economy is prosperous under its rule, the population is large, and the soldiers and horses are strong, such a good situation, how can he not seize the time, send troops to attack Dashun, and then take the opportunity to invade the Qing court in the north, and finally unify the whole country, it is a strange thing.
After the Tang army destroyed the Dashun, it could be thought with its toes that the Tang army would send troops north to attack the Qing Dynasty with all its might, at that time, the Qing Dynasty was isolated and surrounded by the Tang Army, and there would be only one way to perish.
Such a situation is terrifying to think about.
Therefore, after receiving the news, Dolgon's time can be described as unpleasant, sleepless, and full of worries, which cannot be solved at all.
After receiving the news that Song Xiance had sent an envoy to the Qing court, Dolgon almost intuitively guessed what he was doing at the Qing court, so he could no longer suppress his eagerness, and immediately summoned him to his mansion after receiving Song Xiance's arrival in Shengjing.
After reading the tea, Song Xiance was not polite, and immediately sent the intention to Dolgon and Pan, and then presented Li Zicheng's handwritten letter and handed it to him.
After listening to Song Xiance's words, Dolgon hurriedly read Li Zicheng's letter, and the look of fear on his face suddenly became more and more obvious.
It's time to come.
Tang Jun killed Dashun this time, intending to fight in one battle. The regent of the Qing court, but from his back to the top of his head, it was like ice water pouring down, inexplicably cold.
Now, I can only stand in the same boat with this Dashun and resist the invasion of the Tang army together.
Thinking of this, Dolgon let out a long sigh and immediately said: "The meaning of Song Shangshu is already known to this king. There is a saying that if the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if one family is abolished, two families will die. This Wang Anneng doesn't know such a truth. What's more, you and I are allies, and it is natural that at such an emergency moment when a strong enemy is pressuring the situation, we must help each other and rely on each other. ”
Seeing Dolgon's expression like this, Song Xiance was greatly relieved, and immediately nodded: "What the regent said is very true. Since the fall of Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Kingdom, now Dashun and Daqing can be said to be dependent on each other and rely on each other. Only with the close cooperation of you and me and the joint fight against the enemy can we defeat the Tang army and keep the two countries safe. ”
The two men agreed to talk, and immediately began to discuss the number and date of the troops.
Eventually, after some close negotiations, the two reached an agreement.
The two sides agreed that a month later, the Qing court would send all the elite troops of the whole country, with 150,000 elite troops, to attack the Shanhaiguan and Xuanfu North Road occupied by the Tang army.
Dashun did his best to dispatch an army of 300,000, and also increased to attack the two boundaries above the Tang Army, in order to work with the Qing Army to destroy the fourth and thirteenth towns of the Tang Army in the north.
Then, after destroying the Tang army in the north, Dashun will lead the Qing army into the pass, and together they will attack the Tang army in the south, striving to completely defeat the Tang army. The worst strategic goal is also to wipe out all its vital forces, so that the Tang army will be greatly weakened and no longer able to confront the two countries, so as to achieve long-term peace and stability between the Shunqing and Qing countries.
Of course, the content behind this is still a long-term vision, and the key now is that the two countries immediately cooperate and take action to destroy the Tang army in the north first, so as to solve the urgent need. This is the focus of action in the future, and it is also the most important thing related to the life and death of the two countries.
Song Xiance was very happy when he successfully signed the agreement, so he didn't want to stay longer for a moment, and immediately returned home.
In the following time, Li Zicheng's side, while fighting with the Tang army, expressed his willingness to attack the Qing court north with the Tang army, in order to paralyze the Tang army and give himself more time to prepare. On the other hand, they stepped up the mobilization of troops and gathered in the north, preparing to immediately send troops to attack the Xuanfu North Road and the Shanhai Pass after the Qing army arrived.
On the side of the Qing court, it was also anxious to dispatch and collect soldiers and horses, and finally half a month later, a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han tribes were drawn from all over the country, with Azig as the main general and Duoduo as the deputy general, and went to Jinzhou first, and after arriving, he and Li Zicheng went to attack Xuanfu North Road or Shanhaiguan.
Regarding Li Zicheng's collusion with the Qing court and the eventual attempt to capture the Tang army in the north, Li Xiao had repeated reports from the Security Division, and he had a clear view of the fire and grasped it all.
After reading this information, Li Xiao's face was faintly sneering.
Hmph, you two shameless little people dare to block the car with your mantis arms, you really don't know whether to live or die! You don't open your eyes and take a good look, now the power of the Lone King, I'm afraid that there is no opponent in the world, how can you two people who are still breathing can resist.
Li Xiao immediately ordered that the Tang army in the south be deployed separately, preparing to give Dashun and the Manchu Qing a real head-on attack.
Li Xiao secretly dispatched more than 200,000 soldiers and horses from the second town, the eleventh town, the twelfth town, and the fourteenth town, and took the sailor ships from the Songjiang area all the way north, preparing to land at Yingkou and take the Manchu Qing in the west by surprise.
The rest of the troops in the south, such as the soldiers and horses of the first town, the sixth town, the seventh town, the fourteenth town, and the fifteenth town, went from Shandong to Henan, from Huguang to Sichuan, these thousands of miles, and took advantage of the situation when the Dashun army went north, and launched a large-scale attack on Dashun.
As for the Tang Army in the fourth town and the thirteenth town in the north, Li Xiao asked them to do their best to defend Shanhaiguan and Xuanfu North Road, and wait until the Manchu Qing and Dashun had to retreat, and then go out of the city in one fell swoop, and catch those retreating troops off guard.
The Tang Army, Dashun, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were all mobilizing troops and dispatching troops on a large scale, and an unprecedented large-scale military operation was finally about to begin.
