Chapter 1346: Emperor, You've Been Promoted!
Three or four thousand soldiers of the Dashun Imperial Battalion with messy uniforms and scattered banners gathered in their camps.
It's said to be a camp, but in fact, it's a bit unorthodox to be scattered, and there are not a few tents! Although they also dug trenches, built fences, and piled up breastwalls in accordance with the regulations of the Dashun army. But the trench is only shallow to the knees of the people, and the fence is even more sparse and there are not a few, and the low chest wall can be crossed by a single leg lifted.
Such a deployment, not to mention the imperial camp of Dashun, even the Sichuan Xiangyong who had just opened the Ming Dynasty couldn't set up such a camp!
However, this Li Zicheng single-handedly brought out, followed Li Zicheng, Li Guo, and Li Laiheng, the three generations of Dashun Emperors, to fight in the south and the north, and performed meritorious deeds, but this time they followed Li Laiheng to fall into bad luck and have fallen into such a field.
After they escaped from Chongqing Mansion, they became lost dogs. Not only was he fiercely pursued by the elite soldiers of the Ming army, but he was also constantly ambushed by the spontaneously organized Sichuan people and villagers!
When they first withdrew from Chongqing, they could still fight with the pursuing soldiers and ambushes from all walks of life, but the day and night battles still made them continue to suffer losses, and the more they fought, the more tired they became, and the food supplies became less and less - because of the retreat of the government soldiers, the local regimes of Dashun in Chongqing, Luzhou, Xuzhou, Wumeng, Dongchuan and other prefectures also disappeared, and it was difficult to get supplies with the troops who followed Li Laiheng and Tian Jianxiu from Chongqing and Luzhou Mansions, and they could only rely on looting along the way to get a little food and drink, because the more they ran, the more embarrassed they became. I also lost most of the baggage, artillery, chariots and horses and camping equipment, and now I can barely set up a camp, which is really good.
This army was now stationed in front of Ma'anshan, a key pass retreating from Dongchuan Province in Sichuan Province to Xundian Province in Yunnan. Ma'anshan is located in the south of the Dongchuan Valley, and this area is densely mountained, and there are no spacious official roads, only a winding valley bottom path in the middle of the mountains. The slopes on both sides are not steep, and there are many terraced rice fields, and along the way, you can see a lot of debris that has just been discarded, all of which are some tattered daily necessities and vehicles, and from time to time you can see dead bodies lying on the side of the road...... They are all corpses of old and weak women and children!
This should be the corpse of the southbound Fu soldiers, who died on the way to Yunnan before they left Sichuan!
This is not the first time that Li Laiheng's imperial camp has seen such a scene on the way to escape...... Every time I saw it, the morale of the army dropped!
These people are the fathers and elders of the soldiers of the imperial camp! They could have retreated to Yunnan in an orderly manner, but now they ended up so miserably because Li Laiheng abandoned Chongqing and fled.
It's all Lee Rae-hyung's fault!
How long has he been the emperor, the Great Shun Dynasty has lost Sichuan, and the good days of the big guy have come to an end, what can I do in the future? There is only one Yunnan and one Myanmar left, can the Dashun Dynasty still be maintained?
When Li Laiheng's imperial camp arrived in front of Ma'anshan in Dongchuan Mansion, he finally encountered the Dashun official mansion that was still in play. Originally placed in the Dongchuan valley of the Dongchuan Jiedu envoy retreated to Ma'anshan, heard that the emperor had escaped, finally sent some soldiers to bring them some food and materials, let them temporarily camp here, but did not let them cross the Hengshan to Kunming march.
In the past, Li Laiheng had long regarded this kind of behavior as a rebellion and mobilized troops to attack the Ma'anshan Fortress! But now...... The atmosphere is not right!
Not to mention that the Shun army coming down from Ma'anshan is wrong, and even the imperial camp protecting Li Laiheng is not right...... So he could only wait anxiously for news from Kunming.
Now it was time to start the meal again, the pot stove was built, and the aroma of cooked rice wafted on the hillside, but Li Laiheng had no appetite at all, just in a daze in his camp.
He was originally born in a rogue, good at sports warfare, and followed Li Zicheng and Li Guo to fight in the east and west, so he relied on mobile warfare to smash the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains. So in his mind, the transfer to Yunnan should not be too difficult.
But the result is ...... Dashun, who has been sitting in the Kou for more than 20 years, is no longer able to move!
The retreat from Sichuan seems to be a mess of organization! Especially after he retreated from Chongqing, everywhere turned into a rout, and I don't know how many people were killed or captured in the process of rout!
The more than 400,000 military households in Sichuan don't know if half of them can escape to Yunnan alive!
What a loss!
Thinking of this, Li Laiheng's tears fell, and when he was crying, there was a disturbance outside the camp.
Li Laiheng pricked up his ears and listened, as if Li Zijing was here!
"King Changle is here!"
"The king of Changle has brought food to them......
"King Changle is great, thank you King Changle ......"
What is Li Zijing doing here? Li Laiheng is a little strange, why not Li Jicheng? Even if he can't leave, it should be Sun Kewang and Liu Zongmin! How could it be Li Zijing, the king of Changle? He doesn't care about anything!
Just when he was strange, he saw that the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and then Tian Jianxiu, Niu Jinxing and Gu Junen came in together with Li Laiheng's uncle Li Zijing.
Although Li Zijing is Li Laiheng's uncle, he is no longer as old as Li Laiheng, because he has always enjoyed happiness, so he still looks young, and he looks like Li Laiheng's younger brother.
After entering the big tent, this Li Zijing first kowtowed respectfully, and said: "King Changle respectfully invites Emperor Taishang Sheng'an, congratulations to Emperor Taishang ......"
"Wait, what's your name?" Li Laiheng was a little confused, "Congratulations on what?" ”
"You are the emperor!" Li Zijing said, "Congratulations on becoming the emperor...... You were originally the emperor, but now you have been promoted to another level, and it is of course a happy event to become the emperor. ”
The emperor has been upgraded?
What's going on?
Li Laiheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak! Since ancient times, people who have been emperors are usually unmotivated, and they don't want to be promoted, they just want to work in this position forever, and Li Laiheng is of course no exception.
Niu Jinxing, who came in with Li Zijing, explained with a smile at this time: "Emperor, the prince is filial, he heard in Yunnan that you were defeated in Chongqing, and he was so anxious. In order to enter filial piety, so under the persuasion of the soldiers of the Long March and the ministers left behind in Kunming, he became the emperor, and also regarded you as the emperor, please return to Kunming to live in the old age...... In the future, you will be like the Emperor Chongzhen of the remnant Ming, eating, drinking and having fun every day, and you will no longer have to worry about national affairs. ”
Tian Jianxiu also said: "Emperor, you are really blessed, it is great to have such a filial son!" E's really envy, E's eldest son is in his thirties, and it's difficult to be a big responsibility, and he can't even do a good job in Zhizhou. ”
Li Laiheng looked at Gu Junen again, and Gu Junen smiled bitterly: "Emperor, the crown prince is always your flesh and blood...... Your throne will be his, sooner or later, and he is only ascending the throne early, so you can see some of it. Anyway, you have also been an emperor, and it is good to be an emperor now. ”
Li Laiheng almost ran out of breath to carry it, but he has only been the emperor for more than a year, and he hasn't been a good one! Li Jicheng is only in his twenties, what is he anxious about? Wouldn't it be possible to be a prince for another forty or fifty years?
Seeing that Li Laiheng was silent, Gu Junen and Tian Jianxiu hurriedly glanced at Li Zijing - the most ruthless emperor's family! Moreover, the Dashun Dynasty also learned from the Tang Dynasty, and in the history of the Tang Dynasty, there were still few cases of fathers and sons, mothers and sons, and brothers killing each other? If Li Laiheng is not convinced, the filial son Li Jicheng may turn his face, and the big guys don't want to live at that time!
Li Zijing, a confused prince, still has brains at the critical moment, and said with a sad face at the moment: "The new emperor has thousands of soldiers from the Long March in Kunming, and they are all fed with silver rupees. His Royal Highness the King of Han was also with the new emperor, and he also had thousands of soldiers near Kunming. There are also many soldiers who fled from Sichuan who have also been taken in by the new emperor, and they all listen to him. The King of Qin has been placed under house arrest in the palace, and his soldiers have been disarmed...... Moreover, the story of Ma Weipo is still being spread in Kunming City, saying that the King of Qin is Yang Guozhong and the Empress Taishang is Yang Guifei! Emperor Tai, look at this......"
Li Laiheng took a breath of cool air, if he didn't agree to this matter, Queen Sun and the children born to Queen Sun would probably have to become ghosts under the knife!
"That's it!" Li Laiheng sighed, "Eh, just be too high...... I want to see how this filial son fights with the remnant Zhu Xiaozi! ”
