Chapter 243: The founding of the Great Shun
Just when the northern Guanning area was once again full of war clouds, there was also a shocking news in Shaanxi, the thief Li Zicheng after this period of time on Fengxiang's onslaught, a year ago conquered Fengxiang Mansion, defeated the Ming Dynasty commander Li Guoqi who sat in Fengxiang Mansion, Shaanxi Governor Wang Qiaonian shrank his forces to defend Xi'an Mansion, and concentrated the available men and horses in the area of Xi'an Mansion to deploy.
However, the thieves took the power of the great victory of Fengxiang Mansion, mobilized nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses to surround Xi'an Mansion, and launched a fierce attack on Xi'an Mansion.
At this time, the generals of the official army in Shaanxi were only left with the general Li Guoqi, Zuo Guangxian, and Gao Jie, with a total strength of less than 20,000 people, and in the face of the re-energized army of nearly 100,000 thieves, the officers and troops were defeated in successive battles around Xi'an, and finally had to retreat the remnants into the city of Xi'an.
At this time, after more than two years of hibernation, the thief Li Zicheng imitated the way of training and controlling the army of the Xingtian Army, changed the previous way of gathering rabble, strengthened the quality of equipment and training intensity of soldiers and horses, and made a leap forward in overall strength, and the combat effectiveness became much stronger than before.
Li Zicheng's siege of Xi'an Mansion is more than a month, although Li Guoqi, Zuo Guangxian, Gao Jie and other generals will fight hard, but Li Zicheng also sent a ruthless heart, the overseers launched a fierce attack again and again, the two armies killed the corpse mountain and blood sea under the wall of Xi'an, and finally in early February, the official army was still cut off because of the lack of food, insufficient troops, and lost Xi'an Mansion.
Ming general officer Li Guoqi was nowhere to be found in the chaotic army, Zuo Guangxian saw that he was invincible, and finally chose to surrender to the thief Li Zicheng, but at the last moment, Gao Jie, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, led the remnants to break through and fled to northern Shaanxi.
Li Zicheng hated Wang Qiaonian very much, because Wang Qiaonian ordered to dig up the ancestral grave of his Li family, and after learning that Wang Qiaonian was captured, he brought Wang Qiaonian to him, and humiliated him, and Wang Qiaonian scolded Li Zicheng angrily, and he was even more angry with Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng then ordered to gouge out Wang Qiaonian's eyes, cut off his tongue, and finally put Wang Qiaonian to death, and cut him alive hundreds of times, Wang Qiaonian's death was very miserable.
Although poor Wang Qiaonian changed history after Xiao Tianjian appeared, but in the end it did not change his fate, in history Wang Qiaonian also died at the hands of Li Zicheng, but the time of death was the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the location was in Xiangcheng County, Henan, and he was also chopped alive when he died.
Xi'an Mansion was broken by Li Zicheng is not too shocking news, what is shocking is that less than a few days after Li Zicheng captured Xi'an Mansion, he also announced that he was the emperor in Xi'an Mansion, and established the country as Dashun, and established his Dashun regime in Shaanxi, and also followed Xiao Tianjian to establish six ministries and assign officials.
This time it can be lively, China's Guannai land at the same time appeared in the Ming Dynasty, China, Dashun three countries side by side situation, each occupies a piece of territory, all say that they are in accordance with the will of heaven, is the true dragon of heaven, emphasizing that they are orthodox.
After this news came out, not only the Ming and the opposition were shaken again, but even the newly founded China government and opposition were also greatly shaken, and those Xiao Tianjian's subordinates immediately scolded after hearing the news, on the one hand, they were disdainful of Li Zicheng, and on the other hand, they were annoyed that Li Zicheng was not self-sufficient, and they actually wanted to be the emperor, and planned to fight against them in the future.
Even Xiao Tianjian felt a little stunned after hearing the news, originally he thought that Li Zicheng might not be the emperor anymore because of his appearance, and he would no longer be the emperor to establish any Dashun country, but he didn't think that this guy only occupied less than half of Shaanxi's territory, so he arrogantly followed his example and ascended the throne as the emperor, which clearly meant that he wanted to work against him Xiao Tianjian, and he didn't think about compromising with him Xiao Tianjian in the future.
So Xiao Tianjian immediately asked Jiang Qin to understand the details of Li Zi's establishment of the country, originally the head of intelligence was Feng Weihan, that is, the former Feng Gouzi, but now Feng Weihan has a very important task, so the person in charge of the intelligence system in Nanjing City is still Jiang Qin, and at this time, the detailed work under Xiao Tianjian's subordinates can be said to have penetrated into all corners of the Chinese land, constantly collecting intelligence for Xiao Tianjian, and their work is not only to collect intelligence, but also to serve as the tongue of the early Xingtian Army, spread some of the propaganda of the Xingtian Army, and is also responsible for rebellion and other affairs, so it can be said that it is very normal for Li Zicheng to have the meticulous work of the Xingtian Army, and Jiang Qin is the person in charge, Li Zicheng is such a force, of course, it is also the object of his attention.
Jiang Qin learned that the emperor Xiao Tianjian inquired about Li Zicheng's establishment of the Great Shun Kingdom and his ascension to the throne as emperor, so he hurriedly sorted out the relevant information and entered the palace to meet Xiao Tianjian.
Although Xiao Tianjian has been called the emperor, he still can't adapt to this change of identity for a while, and when he treats his subordinates, he still seems as approachable as before, but he doesn't lose his sense of majesty, as soon as he sees Jiang Qin, he gives him a seat, and then touches his chin and asks about Li Zicheng.
Jiang Qin immediately replied: "Initiate the Holy Lord, the thief ascended the throne and became the emperor in Xi'an Mansion this time, I'm afraid it is because of the Holy One!" ”
Xiao Tianjian frowned when he heard this, and asked, "What did he Li Zicheng do to me?" Why do you say it's because of me? "Xiao Tianjian was still used to calling himself me for a while, and he didn't get used to calling himself me.
Jiang Qin immediately replied respectfully: "Actually, this matter is also simple!" Originally, when the thieves attacked Fengxiang Mansion a year ago, they made two preparations, once they attacked Fengxiang Mansion and did not win, they went south into Sichuan, but they didn't think that the Holy Shang took the first step, sent Luo Deputy Marshal and Li Dutong to lead the troops to attack Sichuan, and took the first step to take Kuizhou, Li Zicheng was very angry when he learned the news, thinking that the Holy Shang cut off his back road, he knew that he couldn't afford to provoke us now, so he gathered more troops to attack Fengxiang Mansion, and finally took Fengxiang Mansion!
And it is said that Li Zicheng got a strange person to help him a year ago, this person is named Song Xiance, and now Li Zicheng is regarded as the most trusted minister, this person is said to be five short figures, but proficient in the number of techniques, predictable auspiciousness, very capable, Li Zicheng got this person to help him, he attaches great importance to it, and Song Xiance in the Hanzhong area declared what eighteen sons of the main artifact, said that Li Zicheng is the fate of the true dragon son of heaven, Li Zicheng is very happy, convinced of this!
Li Zicheng saw that Sichuan was too late to catch up with us to capture, so he put all his energy on the Xi'an Mansion, he heard that the Holy Lord was going to establish a country and ascend the throne, when he was in Fengxiang Mansion, Song Xiance and Li Zicheng's generals persuaded him to also ascend the throne and call the emperor, Li Zicheng then gambled, after laying down Xi'an Mansion, called Xi'an Zhongjing, announced the enthronement and called the emperor! Therefore, the thief Li Zicheng ascended the throne, to a certain extent, because he wanted to be on an equal footing with the saint, and in the future, he would divide the land with the saint and fight against the throne! ”
Xiao Tianjian not only laughed dumbly after hearing this, Song Xiance can be said to be a thunderous person, he already knew what kind of person this person was in later generations, and Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, who are working under him now, are still friends, he still remembers that Niu Jinxing also mentioned to him that Song Xiance is a strange person, proficient in mathematics, and wants to introduce Song Xiance to his subordinates, but Xiao Tianjian seemed to be very busy at the time, and he knew very well what kind of goods Song Xiance was, Song Xiance This guy can't be said to be not smart, But in Xiao Tianjian's opinion, this guy is just a warlock in the rivers and lakes, and he knows a little divination, which is not enough to be of great use, so after Niu Jinxing mentioned this matter, he didn't know if it was okay or not, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, so the matter was put on hold.
Unexpectedly, Song Xiance didn't wait for him to go to the thatched house to invite him out of the mountain, so he went to Li Zicheng's place to give Li Zicheng his life, and it was still the same old thing, and he came up with a ridiculous excuse like the eighteen main artifact, which deceived Li Zicheng's favor, and made Li Zicheng believe it was true, and worshiped this guy as his military advisor!
Think about it, since he came to this world, in fact, it is equivalent to copying Li Zicheng's back road, first abducted Li Zicheng's important adviser Niu Jinxing to sell his life, and then recruited Li Xin, and also seized most of the Central Plains in the past, forcing Li Zicheng to only mess around in Shaanxi, in fact, Li Zicheng has only such a few capable people, without these people to help him, Li Zicheng has no chance to achieve the career achieved in history, and now Song Xiance has taken refuge in him, He's definitely going to reuse him.
In fact, Li Zicheng doesn't necessarily really believe in what Song Xiance said about the eighteen main artifacts, but this kind of words can help him win people's hearts, he can borrow this kind of superstitious thing to consolidate and strengthen his strength, besides, Li Zicheng is a hero, this is true, his ambition is very big, everyone can see that when Xiao Tianjian was forced by Li Zicheng by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to run out of water, he once said to Tian Jianxiu that he was willing to accept Li Zicheng to take refuge. But Li Zicheng would rather nest in Shangluo Mountain and be hungry than surrender to Xiao Tianjian, it can be seen that Li Zicheng never thought of being a subordinate at all, and his ambition was no longer a day or two.
Now when he learned that Xiao Tianjian was going to ascend the throne in Nanjing, of course he would not sit back and watch Xiao Tianjian be the first, although his strength was not as good as Xiao Tianjian, but he still wanted to live an emperor addiction, so he was busy ascending the throne in Xi'an Mansion and making a big Shunguo out!
The giant car of history can be said to have quite a huge inertia, although Xiao Tianjian, a wild bull, has already pulled it out of its original trajectory, but it still maintains a certain degree of inertia, so that some things continue to happen in a different way, Li Zicheng is an example.
"Haha! I see! But I'm afraid this has nothing to do with Song Xiance, Li Zicheng doesn't want to bow down to me at all! Since he wants to be the emperor, let him be the emperor in Xi'an Mansion for a few days! Ignore him, and talk about it when you have to! After Xiao Tianjian thought of this, he laughed.
Xiao Tianjian is actually not angry about Li Zicheng's arrogance and arrogance in Shaanxi to ascend the throne and become the emperor, he has long been confident now, as long as he lives, Li Zicheng will not be able to become a big weapon at all, he has thought about dying of addiction, let him be addicted to it!
But the ministers of the court reacted extremely fiercely to Li Zicheng's ascension to the throne and proclaimed the emperor, and the Ming Emperor had no choice, who was already the emperor? But now that Xiao Tianjian has been called the emperor, then no one in this world can be called the emperor, but Li Zicheng is not self-sufficient, but he also wants to be an emperor, if China is described as a mountain, the Ming Emperor will not say for the time being, this mountain will definitely not tolerate two tigers, Li Zicheng ascended the throne after Xiao Tianjian and became the emperor, it is clear that he wants to oppose them in China, this is a crime of rebellion, and it is absolutely necessary to clean up immediately.
As a result, the military generals of the Great China Dynasty and the Central Committee started to play one after another, demanding that troops and horses be mobilized immediately to send troops and horses to Shaanxi, destroy the Great Shun Kingdom, and kill Li Zicheng, the puppet emperor, so that the people of the world know that there can only be Xiao Tianjian as an emperor in this world, and no matter how great China is in the future, it can only be the country of Great China.
In the face of the surging movements, Xiao Tianjian not only smiled, he could understand what the ministers thought, but now he asked him to mobilize heavy troops to Shaanxi and destroy Li Zicheng, the great Shun country, but he couldn't agree, not that he connived at Li Zicheng, but that the current situation was pressing, and he couldn't spare his hands to do this boring thing.
Although Li Zicheng claims to have 100,000 male soldiers, Xiao Tianjian knows very well what kind of virtue his so-called 100,000 male soldiers are, although in the past two years, Li Zicheng has also wanted to emulate the Xingtian Army everywhere and create an elite army, but after all, he started too late, and there is no foundation, on the surface, he seems to have learned some of Xiao Tianjian's methods of governing the army, but that is just a cat and a tiger than a gourd! Although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command has improved, the grade is still not comparable to the soldiers and horses of Great China under Xiao Tianjian.
Although Li Zicheng has also begun to attach importance to the establishment of firearms in the past two years, he simply does not have many available skilled craftsmen at hand, and he is simply unable to provide his army with sufficient sophisticated guns and artillery. In addition, it is some tattered bird guns or other styles of firecrackers captured from the hands of the officers and soldiers, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined to be incomparable with the firecrackers under Xiao Tianjian's command.
At present, the popular equipment in the Xingtian Army is basically a unified and sophisticated flintlock pistol (self-generated firearm), and the overall army is not on the same level as other armies of this era in terms of combat power, the so-called 100,000 army that Li Zicheng put together, Xiao Tianjian did not put them in his eyes at all, the real elite soldiers in this world are only available under his hands, and if you want to establish such an elite army and horses, it is not just as simple as high or low equipment, from recruitment to training, and even the training of officers, It's all a set of systematic work, Xiao Tianjian has also used so many years to gradually establish such a system, Li Zicheng wants to learn the essence of Xingtianjun in a year or two, it's a fool's dream!
Therefore, Xiao Tianjian would not care about whether Li Zicheng would become his great enemy in the future, but now he made the first major decision after he ascended the throne because of the news from the north.
(I'm a sincere person, the last chapter of 2,000 words is too little, how can this chapter be made up!) Hehe! )
