Chapter 137: The Defeat of North Korea IV

"But General Xi'an Lianghua Fengliang?" Someone below has already crossed out and shouted loudly at the bottom of the mountain: "Yang Shenzu is dead, general, it is my former minister of the Qing Dynasty, because he has to be trapped in the enemy country, and now is the time anyway, if you don't raise it now, when will you wait?" ”

Liang Huafeng listened, turned out the bow and arrow behind his backhand with his backhand, and as soon as he shot it, the arrows were like beads, three arrows in a row, and the people who were persuaded to surrender were shot to death on the spot.

Liang Huafeng's eyes looked at some people behind him, but he saw that some of them had already moved slightly, and they were on guard.

This is also the reason why Liang Huafeng did not dare to act rashly.

Not to mention, he turned his back on the Qing court, and now he throws himself in the past, what will happen to him, and he doesn't say what the future of Yang Shenzu left for him, just say that the backbone of the army is all from the martial arts, and most of them are loyal to Zhang Xuan, and they regard themselves as protégés of the Son of Heaven.

Even if he wanted to rebel, he was probably subdued by the following before he could make a move.

Therefore, he did not answer the envoy of the Qing army, but shot him to death with an arrow, just to show his heart.

Liang Huafeng's resolute attitude, Azig was also prepared.

There was only some disappointment, and he looked at the Xiaobai Mountain Range, which was not high and not too difficult. But Azig didn't want to use troops here anymore, and ordered: "Leave one to block the mountain, and don't allow the Xia army to go down the mountain, Bolo, you continue to go south, take the two southern roads for me, and give the Koreans no thought." ”

"Wow." Bolo said.

Azig said, "The others will go back with me to Ganghwa Island." ”

On the Korean Peninsula, there is no big problem for the remnants of the army to enter the mountains, as long as the stronghold of the Xia army in North Korea is pulled out, it is not too late to go back and slowly clean up, these remnants of the army can support one month, two months and three months in the mountains, can they still support one year, two years and three years?

On Ganghwa Island, it is about to experience a storm.

The wind and rain on Jianghua Island did not come, but the wind and rain in Nanjing City came first.

The news from North Korea was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone was caught off guard. It hit Zhang Xuan's bones all of a sudden.

Zhang Xuan knew that Ruan Jin died bravely and died in the fire, which could be regarded as loyal to the country, and he should not be blamed, but Zhang Xuan still wanted Ruan Jin to come back to life, and he killed him again.

The advantage of Xia Jun's sailors was so obvious that Ruan Jin was lost. The Korean war situation, which could have been maintained, was on the verge of collapse in an instant, not to mention, it made the finances of the Great Xia court even worse.

Originally, the DPRK and China did not support the expenditure on the war in the southwest. Under the strength of Zhang Xuan and the Privy Council, it was considered to be passed, and Yao Qisheng swept all the treasury of the imperial court, and only a few million taels were needed to support the war in the southwest.

Now Li Dingguo has handed over Wu Sangui.

The two sides are fighting

It's not big, the first to fight is the toast of all roads, the toast of all roads is driven by the big guy behind him, and then the armies of both sides enter the field, because of the restrictions of the terrain, the big war is not a small battle, and he Hutou is also ready to move.

He Hutou has been in the town for a while, looking at other places, the fight is booming, how can he not have the intention of making contributions in his heart, so he took this battle as his opportunity, and he was ready to lead his troops westward, straight into the Chengdu Plain, and cut off Wu Sangui's back road.

Wu Sangui left heavy troops and confronted He Hutou.

A war between the two sides is on the verge of breaking out.

Many of the silver dollars that Zhang Xuan recently sent to the west were for He Hutou.

Now that something like this has happened in North Korea, Zhang Xuan's first thought is that there may be a big gap in finances. Not to mention how many people were lost in this water battle, these people all had to be compensated, just to re-establish North Korea's battlefield superiority.

How many troops to throw into North Korea will cost money.

And before that, it was able to rely on North Korea's finances. But now North Korea may not be able to save an inch of land. And how much money can be made from North Korea. Zhang Xuan secretly had a self-defeating feeling in his heart, as if it was the Battle of Verdun in World War I.

It was said that the blood of the French was drained, and as a result the blood of the Germans was drained.

Today's North Korea is that Zhang Xuan's original intention was to give the Qing army a wound that consumed national strength, but it did not consume the national strength of the Qing army, Zhang Xuan did not know, but it was obvious that the national strength of Great Xia was already in the midst of fierce attrition. For a moment, Zhang Xuan had the urge to abandon the North Korean strategy.

But impulses are just impulses, and Zhang Xuan vetoed the idea in a blink of an eye.

Between Xia and Qing, they don't share the sky.

This is not only based on feelings, based on hatred, but also the basis of reality, and great unification has long become the consensus of the Chinese, and if you prove yourself to be orthodox, it is to unify the whole country. Even if Zhang Xuan wanted to be at peace with the Qing court, wouldn't the Qing court want to go south?

Only one can live between the two.

Under this premise, any war must be cautious, it is likely to be misunderstood, and if the troops are withdrawn from Korea now, it will be the admission of defeat in Great Xia. The Qing army won a great victory and incorporated Korea into its territory.

This is something that Zhang Xuan could never agree to.

As long as there are no mountains and rivers, Zhang Xuan must persevere.

Sending troops to the DPRK again has become an inevitable choice. But who to choose and where the money will come from is very questionable.

"Convene the Cabinet and the Privy Council will go to the palace for deliberations." Zhang Xuan said.

But after a while, the Cabinet Scholars and the Privy Council came.

For a while, the atmosphere was extremely dreary.

They all knew the news, even if they did

I didn't know at the time that on the way into the palace, I would also be told by the eunuch who led the way.

It's just that this news is too shocking, and the originally good Korean war situation collapsed to this point in the blink of an eye. They don't know how to react for a while, and the response plan they silently conceive in their hearts is just not perfect for a while, and they all want others to say it first.

As a result, no one spoke, and they all fell silent.

"Let's talk about it." Zhang Xuan spoke first: "Now this situation, how should we deal with it? ”

"Your Majesty," Wei Wang Yuan Shizhong said, "I'm afraid that Yang Shenzu will encounter an accident in Quanzhou. Troops should be sent to the rescue immediately. ”

At this moment, the news received by Nanjing is only the news after the defeat in the naval battle, and it has not yet come.

How could this Zhang Xuan not know, he looked at Zhang Qian.

Zhang Zhen opened his mouth, closed it again, and said again and again: "The minister is incompetent, and now the Nanjing treasury is empty, and only after the local taxes and silver enter Beijing, the military salary and official salaries can be issued next month, and there is really no ability to move troops." Please punish Your Majesty. ”

As he spoke, he fell to his knees.

Yang Shenzu is also a veteran of Cao Ying, and he has friendships with Yuan Shizhong and Zhang Zhen. If it is judged by the relationship between each other, Zhang Zhen can not say that he "does not save", which is unreasonable, but Zhang Zhen controls the affairs of Daxia, and all the things in Daxia are gathered in his hands.

Therefore, he couldn't understand the situation of the Great Xia court very well.

Without this ability, there is none.

You can't risk the Nanjing battalion and the Jiangbei battalion garrison cutting off their salaries.

When Zhang Xuan launched the war in the southwest, Zhang Zhen disagreed. There is only no way to let the finances fall into such a constant situation, which is already extremely dangerous. He must not let the Great Xia finances fall into an even more dangerous situation.

"Shousuke, please." Zhang Xuan took a few steps forward, helped Zhang Zhen up, and said, "This is all a crime of being too greedy and not doing the first assistant's business." Zhang Xuan pressed Zhang Zhen on his seat, and then slowly paced in the hall, and said: "It's just that the mess in North Korea now always has to be cleaned up, and I can't abandon my Daxia Erlang in a foreign land, if so, how do the Daxia soldiers think of me as the emperor." ”

Zhang Xuan's words set the tone, that is, it must be saved, and the only thing to discuss is how to save it.

Zhang Zhen said: "In this way, it is necessary to reduce the funds for the war in the southwest. The imperial court has such a little family background. ”

"Never." Yuan Shizhong said loudly: "The front-line battles are all carried on the head. It is a place of life and death, the stakes are significant, and the money pulled out, is it difficult to come back? Once the southwest is defeated, I am afraid that Huguang will be in danger. This must not be done. ”

Zhang Zhen said: "Does King Wei think that the people in our cabinet will play tricks? With a single movement, you can conjure up money? ”
