A heavy snowfall suddenly fell on the land of Shanxi, and in the strong wind and snow, Li Ziyuan, who personally led the Chinese army, entered Yangqu County, which was the gateway to Taiyuan, and lived directly in the county office.

Although the affairs in Taiyuan City had been constantly reported by flying horses before entering Yangqu, after arriving in Yangqu, Li Ziyuan still asked Sun Xingping first:

"What is order in the city now? Is there robbery, murder, rape? ”

The handsome question made Sun Xingping quickly answer.

"Although the marshal can rest assured, after Yangqu dedicated the city, our army immediately sent troops to patrol the city, the military law is like a mountain, naturally no one dares to disobey, and now the order in the city is very good."

Listening to his answer, Li Ziyuan nodded and said.

"Well, you have done a good job in this matter, we are not Qinglu, we are the teachers of benevolence and righteousness, in the future, Shanxi, Henan and Huguang will be our foundation, with this foundation, our brothers will have wealth in the future!"

As an old brother in the camp back then, Sun Xingping naturally knew what the wealth in Li Ziyuan's mouth was, so he hurriedly nodded with a smile and said.

"This truth, I naturally understand, in the past, when we broke the city, at most we were thinking about whether we could find a woman, and now, they are all like this, how can they still do things like that, even if they think, those people are not Baba sent their daughters and nieces to the door, and they still need to be strong. This restraint is also natural, and this yang song is self-descended, if anyone dares to mess with military discipline, the ghost head knife of the military law team will not spare people. ”

"If only you understood."

Li Ziyuan nodded, and then said.

"This Shanxi is different from other places, now Taiyuan is just around the corner, once Taiyuan, the next step, is to force the soldiers to point directly to the capital, when the time comes, once the capital is captured, the Northern Expedition can be successful, we can never lose big because of a small loss, after all, the next military grain and grass can all depend on Shanxi supply."

Then Li Ziyuan talked to Sun Xingping again, and after he left, he turned his head to Xu Yuncheng and asked.

"Is there any news about Taiyuan?"

The reason why he ordered Sun Xingping not to attack the city was that he wanted to overcome it without a fight, although he had 200,000 troops under his command, but among the 200,000 troops, only his Chinese army was really elite, and as for the other 100,000 people, most of them were recruits recruited last year and this year, and there were 30,000 soldiers who surrendered in Henan and Shanxi. As a last resort, he was absolutely unwilling to attack the city, and now he can even understand why Zheng Chenggong and Nanjing were reluctant to attack the city back then, because they were unwilling to bear the loss, because they would need to face a more powerful enemy next.

"Marshal, rest assured!"

Xu Yuncheng replied conceitedly.

"This city of Taiyuan will fall. In the humble opinion of the following officials, although the matter of Taiyuan is important, the military needs are even more important, especially now that the heavy snow has fallen, and it is not far from the ice of the Yellow River, so this grain and grass matter can no longer rely on the supply of Jiangbei, and it is also necessary to collect grain in Taiyuan and nearby states and counties, so as to bring it to Beijing during the Northern Expedition in the future, which is a foolproof strategy. ”

The reason why Li Ziyuan was able not to worry about grain and grass was because he received millions of stone of grain from Jiangbei, which was supplied by Jiangbei and purchased by him with cash, and the ships in Jiangbei directly transported the grain to Luoyang through the Yellow River, and then transported it from Luoyang to Shanxi by Route 6. Just as Xu Yuncheng said, as soon as the weather is cold and the Yellow River freezes, it will naturally be impossible for the grain from Jiangbei to be transported again.

"Besides, the key to this grain and grass is to rely on yourself! Always pointing to others, but unreliable! If they cut off the grain route in the future, the food and grass of the army will be worried. ”

Li Ziyuan, who was silent, listened to Xu Yuncheng's words, as if he poured a scoop of cold water on his heart, he naturally knew that the grain in Jiangbei was not a long-term solution, but he also knew that this Shanxi was not a place of production.

"Houdi is very worried, but this Shanxi has never been a place to produce grain, and it is impossible to levy a large amount of grain."

But after he said this, he said softly to Xu Yuncheng:

"Let's discuss this matter tomorrow, it's still important in Taiyuan right now."

At this time, Zhao Jiquan hurriedly came in and handed over a letter from the city. Li Ziyuan saw that it was the Taiyuan gentry who interceded for Bai Rumei and Yang Zhenwei, and this letter also showed that the reason why they have not accepted surrender so far is not because they are unwilling to surrender, but they dare not surrender.

"I don't dare to descend!"

Li Ziyuan sneered and handed the letter sent from the city to everyone to circulate, and then asked:

"What do you guys claim?"

"What else can you claim, this dedication to the city and surrender, the past is not to blame, you explained during the Northern Expedition that day, since he Yang Zhenwei is willing to surrender, then he will accept his surrender."

"That is, besides, there are 30,000 horses under Yang Zhenwei's command, if he is willing to surrender, this green battalion in Shanxi will naturally surrender without a fight, this Shanxi green battalion has been fighting with the Taihang Mountains and the righteous army for more than ten years, it can be said that they are all veterans of a hundred battles, if they can be admitted to our army, it will naturally be like a tiger with wings!"

Whether it is Sun Xingping or Zhao Jiquan and others, they all believe that the current strategy of accepting surrender has been decided, and it cannot be easily changed. Moreover, Yang Zhenwei does have tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, as long as he can recruit them, he will naturally try to surrender them, so as to accept them for use.

The generals' answer made Li Ziyuan set his eyes on Liu Tiren, he was the son of Liu Fangming, Liu Fangming died of illness shortly after the surrender of Wuchang, in order to show his trust in Liu Tiren, Ningxia Town was still under the command of Liu Tiren, and it was precisely because of this that the outside world did not suspect that Liu Fangming's death was related to him, and now Li Ziyuan asked Liu Tiren because of his intentions.

"Cheng Kun, what do you think?"

Seeing that the big marshal asked himself, Liu Tiren hesitated for a moment before answering.

"What the generals said has its own reason, I think that since the Northern Expedition, our army has been able to make the Qing people frightened. The local officials and guards even lowered when they heard the news, and the reason for this was because the marshal was tolerant......"

Liu Tiren naturally will not oppose the surrender, after all, he himself is also a general, and naturally hopes that there will be more generals in this army, only in this way can he not be too "eye-catching" in this army.

"But, General Liu, don't forget, that Yang Zhenwei was carrying Jiang Junmen's head and dedicated the city to the Qing army, if it weren't for him, how could the cities of the Shanxi Rebellion fall one after another? Yang Zhenwei is just a person at both ends of the snake and rat, what is the use of this person? Moreover, the people of Shanxi are eager to eat their bones if they have a little conscience, and if the marshal accepts it, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of the marshal! ”

It was Zhang Xianlin who stood up and spoke, he was a native of Pingyang, and only after Li Ziyuan entered Pingyang that he entered the curtain as his staff, as a native of Shanxi, he naturally knew how much Shanxi people hated Yang Zhenwei who descended to the Qing Dynasty. Even the reason why Yang Zhenwei was able to be the commander of Shanxi for so many years was precisely because of his ruthlessness, and his ruthlessness was precisely to the people of Shanxi.

"Marshal, from the perspective of his subordinates, the army can only besiege the city, if he refuses to surrender, he will directly besiege Taiyuan, and he must be forced to surrender. After he surrenders, he can naturally kill him to comfort his father in Jin Province! ”

Zhang Xianlin's suggestion immediately attracted the approval of a group of Jin staff, for the people of Shanxi, they naturally did not want to see Yang Zhenwei escape from life, and even regain his wealth from then on, when the anti-Qing beacon fire in Shanxi can be said to be burning all in Shanxi, and how heroic the soldiers and civilians fought against the Qing army in various places, forcing the Manchus to have to transfer all available Manchu, Mongolian, and Han armies from the Beijing division into the Shanxi battlefield. But it was he Yang Zhenwei who betrayed the master to seek glory, and colluded with the Qing captives to kill Jiang Junmen for his own selfishness, which led to the collapse of the anti-Qing trend in Shanxi, and millions of Shanxi people were slaughtered by the Qing army.

In their approval, Xu Yuncheng looked at Li Ziyuan, who still seemed to be a little hesitant, and spoke.

"Although the handsome is benevolent and righteous, but Yang Zhenwei is really the scum of my Han people, if you don't kill this person, how can you be angry, even if the handsome is benevolent and righteous, please take the national law as the most important ......"

In the face of such consolation, Li Ziyuan inevitably hesitated, in fact, before entering Shanxi, he had already known from Xu Yuncheng that the biggest problem in Taiyuan was not whether Bai Rumei would fall, but Yang Zhenwei, this person had too much blood stained by the Han people on his hands, and he couldn't wash it off, but this person was in control of the green battalion soldiers in Shanxi, if he was unwilling to surrender, it would naturally be impossible for Taiyuan to overcome without a fight.

Therefore, it was from then on that he made up his mind with Xu Yuncheng, so that he had the current scene, and after hesitating for a moment, he pretended to sigh bitterly.

"Hey, how can Li not know the truth?"

After Changhan, Li Ziyuan's brows tightened.

"Although those who are willing to submit to my Ming Dynasty, Li can accept it, but a traitor like Yang Zhenwei has the blood of the Han people on his hands, and how many Shanxi people have died because of it? If you don't kill it, you can't be angry, Li naturally understands this truth, but Li thinks of storming Taiyuan, I don't know how many brothers will die, after all, I can't bear it! ”

"Dashuai, what's so difficult about this?"

Zhang Xianlin said with a smile on the side.

"The military gate just accepts its surrender, and when it dedicates Taiyuan City, it will be stabilized for a few days, and then when the time comes, it will find a reason to kill it directly!"

As soon as Zhang Xianlin's suggestion came out, Li Ziyuan snorted coldly.

"How can Li be such an untrustworthy person!"

"Dashuai, what kind of faith can you talk about such disloyal, unfilial piety, and traitors who kill their fellow clans? Moreover, even if such a person at both ends of the snake and rat descends, how can he know that he has not harbored evil intentions? ”

Xu Yuncheng interjected on the side.

"That's right, if it harbors evil intentions, the handsome man naturally can't leave worries."
