Volume 7 Chapter 93 Resurrection

Wen Tiren's trick is actually not a profound strategy, Xue Guoguan and Yang Sichang have played like this in history.

At that time, Huang Taiji entered the capital city, Chongzhen was also frightened, and hurriedly ordered Lu Xiangsheng to be the governor of the world to resist Jiannu.

If Lu Xiangsheng can really control the soldiers and horses in the world, perhaps, that time, Huang Taiji will be beaten by Lu Xiangsheng and will not be able to find the north.

It's a pity that Xue Guoguan and Yang Sichang, the remnants of the eunuch party in power in the DPRK, did not want to let go of the military power in their hands, so that Lu Xiangsheng alone controlled the world's soldiers and horses, and they and the eunuchs were embarrassed to coax Chongzhen, and what kind of military department was transferred, and what eunuchs supervised the army, robbed Lu Xiangsheng of all the military power in his hands, and even most of the Tianxiong army in his hands were transferred, and Lu Xiangsheng led thousands of Tianxiong troops to resist the main force of tens of thousands of Qing troops in Julu, and finally died in battle.

At this time, the reason why Wen Tiren played the trick of dividing and turning it into a division was that there was no way, he wanted to take Zhang Bin's military power, but he didn't dare to face Jiannu, and even, he didn't even dare to restore Hong Chengchou, because Hong Chengchou was originally the Jiliao Governor, if he regained Hong Chengchou and let him seize Zhang Bin's military power, then Hong Chengchou would have to face more than 200,000 Jiannu army!

Hong Chengchou's ability is quite clear to him, it is all blown out, in terms of bragging or even fighting for power and profit, Hong Chengchou may be a good hand, in terms of fighting, he can also bully and bully the peasant army who just dropped his hoe, and Jiannu Steel, he was beaten by Jiannu in minutes and couldn't find the north.

Chongzhen is not an idiot, he just persuaded him to regain Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou was immediately defeated in Liaodong, Chongzhen didn't trouble him, it's no wonder, if the defeat is too miserable, he may even be angry by Chongzhen and finish with Hong Chengchou.

He won't do this kind of stupid thing, but the five northwestern provinces are different, the main force of the anti-thieves has basically been annihilated by Zhang Bin and Sun Chuanting, and the rest don't know where to hide, under the pretext of exterminating the anti-thieves, let Wu Zhenying rise to serve as the governor of the five provinces, and slowly take away the military power in Zhang Bin's hands is a good policy.

He will not wait for the end of the Liaodong War to slowly take away the military power in Zhang Bin's hands as he told Chongzhen, he is fooling Chongzhen, the Liaodong war situation is his business, as long as Wu Zhenying takes office as the governor of the five provinces, he will soon let Wu Zhenying deceive Chongzhen, saying that Zhang Bin is deceiving people, and the main force of the anti-thieves has not been exterminated at all, and it is raging in such and such a place at this time, and it is necessary to transfer a large army to encircle and suppress!

At that time, it not only seized Zhang Bin's military power, but also made Zhang Bin bear the crime of bullying the king, and also made Zhang Bin lose in the hands of Jiannu because of insufficient troops, killing three birds with one stone, if he was lucky, Zhang Bin was defeated badly enough, and even Zhang Bin could be killed down!

Speaking of luck, Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, and Fulin, the three generations of grandparents, are really lucky, and their rivers and mountains are equivalent to picking them up.

If it weren't for the fact that the Zhejiang Party ignored Yang Hao's loss of his division and humiliated the country in the Korean War, and insisted on reinstating him to go to Liaodong to control the military power, where would there be any Sarhu fiasco, and the Ming Dynasty would not be so miserable if he sent someone to lead the troops in the past, and they still wanted to capture Fushun? Let's honestly build a state nest!

If it weren't for the eunuch Yao Zongwen's bad intentions and impeachment of Xiong Tingbi, which made Xiong Tingbi deposed from Liaodong Jingluo, they still want to fight all the way from Shenyang to Guangning? It's better to honestly build a state nest!

If it weren't for Wei Zhongxian's efforts to impeach Sun Chengzong in order to brutalize the Donglin Party and make Sun Chengzong resign, Sun Chengzong would have repaired the fortress to Shenyang and Fushun, and if they ate the Ming Dynasty, they would all have to vomit out.

If it weren't for Wang Yongguang and other remnants of the eunuch party in order to prevent Chongzhen from continuing to investigate the eunuch rebellion case, frame Yuan Chonghuan, and implicate Qian Longxi, Sun Chengzong and others, they would want to capture the Guanningjin defense line, and dream about it.

If it weren't for Wu Sangui, a big traitor, who led them into the customs to avenge their personal revenge, they would have dreamed of breaking through Shanhaiguan.

If it weren't for Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi, Kong Youde and Wu Sangui, these generals, who led the army to attack everywhere for them, even if they conquered all the strong men of the Eight Banners, they would not want to conquer the rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty!

At this time, Wen Tiren is going to help them clean up Zhang Bin again, this time, can their luck be as good as in history?

Of course it can't be, Zhang Bin doesn't have time, he knows that Bi Maokang, Cai Shanji, Zou Weilian and others are not as "shameless" as him, and they can't use any means, if Hong Chengchou is sent back, Wen Tiren will definitely find a way to exonerate Hong Chengchou, and even directly let Hong Chengchou "commit suicide by taking poison", and his plan to use Hong Chengchou to clean up Wen Tiren will be scrapped.

Therefore, he could only lock Hong Chengchou in Da Liaohe Fort first, let him confess "honestly", and push the responsibility on Wen Tiren, wait for himself to overturn Huang Taiji, return to the dynasty in victory, and then clean up Wen Tiren in one fell swoop.

He received a secret report from the guards in the capital through the clipper, and could only shake his head helplessly, this is really speechless for the faint monarch and traitorous ministers.

At this time, he really doesn't have time to deal with these two guys, because Huang Taiji has withdrawn from the Santaizi River, and Haizhou City has not yet been taken, he must speed up and take Haizhou City as soon as possible, otherwise, when Huang Taiji leads the main army over, it will be a big trouble, he has a total of 60,000 troops in his hands at this time, and he will not be arrogant enough to think that with only these 60,000 troops, he can overturn Huang Taiji's more than 200,000 Manchurian and Mongolian troops outside Haizhou City!

After two days of bombardment, the arrow stacks and the female wall on the west wall of Haizhou City have almost been flattened, and the defenders in the city can only lie under the remaining female wall to avoid the shells, and the ten cannons on the west wall have already been bombarded, and it is time to attack.

He directly ordered 10,000 Qin soldiers to carry the soil and stones that had been prepared, fill the trench all the way, and fill in the vicinity of the moat, and ordered the Qi army to erect 400 tiger squat cannons on the outside of the city wall for about a mile, and bombarded them in turn without interruption, so that the defenders on the city wall could not raise their heads, so he ordered 10,000 Qin soldiers to fill in the moat and the remaining trenches, and then push the siege vehicles and carry the ladders to rush up to attack the city.

The Qin army really hadn't tried to attack the city wall that had been cut off the arrow battlements and the female wall, but it was really cool to attack, especially when there were Qi family musketeers below, the defenders on the city wall couldn't raise their heads at all, and they rushed up almost all the way unimpeded.

Needless to say, the soldiers of the Qin army were all professional border soldiers who took war as a job, and where were these miscellaneous soldiers of the Han Eight Banners who took refuge in Jiannu to be their opponents, and in less than half an hour, the city wall west of Haizhou City was captured.

However, these miscellaneous soldiers of the Han Eight Banners are really "tenacious", even if the west city wall is breached, they do not escape, but use the other three city walls and even the houses in the city to resist stubbornly, they can't help it, Huang Taiji's order is that the city is there, the city is gone, even if they flee back to Liaoyang, they will die!

Zhang Bin is strange, the defenders of Gaizhou, Fuzhou and Jinzhou are so good that they ran away without even fighting, but the defenders of Haizhou City are so "tenacious" that they will not retreat even if they die, he had to order Ma Xianglin and Sun Chuanting to lead the white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army and the remaining 20,000 Qin troops to rush into the city and fight street battles with the defenders in the city.

It was hard to fight like this, although Haizhou City was not big, but there were more than 100,000 people, more than 10,000 defenders rushed to the city, and it was difficult to find it, Ma Xianglin and Sun Chuanting led the army to rush in for more than an hour, before they could knock down the other three city walls, but the progress of the defenders in the city was extremely slow.

Zhang Bin ventured into the city to observe it for himself, and he saw the clues, and the painful, desperate and terrified eyes of the defenders in the telescope told him that these defenders were not really heroic and tenacious, they should have been forced to have no choice but to defend the city desperately.

These people can still choose to surrender, are they afraid that they will die after surrendering?

Zhang Bin thought about it, and simply ordered Sun Chuanting, Ma Xianglin and Cao Wenzhao to let his subordinates shout, "Put down your arms, surrender and don't kill, we will treat the prisoners preferentially." ”

This worked, and many of the defenders chose to surrender, and after nearly an hour, the city was finally slowly cleared, and Haizhou City was finally taken completely.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Bin ordered people to quickly repair the city wall to prevent Huang Taiji from leading the army to counterattack frantically.

At the same time, he also ordered Zu Dashou, He Kegang and other generals to lead the Liaodong Army to the west bank of the Santaizi River, recover all the fortresses on the west bank, send people to garrison the Great Wall outside the Guan, repair all the beacon towers, and restore the beacon fire transmission and alarm system.

At the same time, he also ordered Lu Xiangsheng to speed the Tianxiong army and the Henan army to quickly take a speedboat to Haizhou City to converge, preparing to resist the attack of Huang Taiji, and the Guanning Jin defense line and Shanhaiguan were handed over to the border army of 30,000 Jizhou Town for defense.

He dispatched troops, and let the Dongfan side transport hundreds of thousands of pounds of Buddha cannons to strengthen the defense of the first line of the Santaizi River, the first line of the Liaohe River and Haizhou City, and he was very busy, and Huang Taiji led more than 200,000 main forces back to Liaoyang after it seemed a little hesitant, because in order to shirk the blame, Azig who fled back exaggerated the number of artillery of the Ming army, saying that the Ming army seemed to have hundreds of giant cannons, Huang Taiji was stunned, hundreds of giant cannons, and led the army to attack the city, so don't look for death!

In this way, the battle situation in Liaodong temporarily entered a stalemate stage, Zhang Bin had too few troops to attack Liaoyang City, which was garrisoned by more than 200,000 troops; Huang Taiji was afraid of the ferocity of the Ming army's artillery, and did not dare to lead the army to attack Haizhou City, both sides chose to send scouts to investigate everywhere, hoping to open up the situation elsewhere, and the entire Liaodong slowly calmed down.

Liaodong is slowly calming down, but the five northwestern provinces are beginning to be lively again.

Although the leaders of the peasant army have been nesting in the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountains, they have never given up their investigation of the outside, and after Zhang Bin has almost transferred the soldiers and horses from the five northwestern provinces, they have escaped from the mountains again.

This time, they didn't get together stupidly to build up each other's momentum, because they found that no matter how many people gathered together, they would not be the opponent of the imperial army, but would become the target of the imperial army's encirclement and suppression.

So, after a little breathing, they went their separate ways.

At this time, Li Zicheng had completely taken over Gao Yingxiang's remaining men and horses, and at the same time annexed more than ten smaller rebel armies, and the number of soldiers and horses under his command roughly reached about 50,000, becoming the largest force in the peasant army.

He learned that most of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court had been transferred to Liaodong, so he immediately ran out of Qinling with people and went to the vicinity of Luoyang to recruit troops and horses to "raise" grain and grass.

And Zhang Xianzhong once again chose to cooperate with Luo Rucai, and their total number of men and horses also had about 50,000, and they chose Xiangyang Mansion in Huguang, because it was not far from Yunyang, and they were relatively familiar with it.

There are also the five battalions of Gezuo, their total number of men and horses is about 50,000, which is also a big force, this time they chose Shanxi, Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain are also their nests, they are most familiar with that area, so they simply went there to develop.

The most bizarre of these peasant army leaders are Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing, they actually ran back to their hometown near Yulin Town to develop, I have to say, they are really bold enough, if it weren't for Sun Chuanting almost requisitioning the Qin army, they ran over purely to find death.

At this time, the officials were still in the hands of Xue Guoguan, the remnant of the eunuch party, the local corrupt officials had not been eliminated, the drought in the five northwestern provinces had not been alleviated, the life of the common people was still extremely difficult, and I don't know how many people were cornered.

In less than three months, the peasant Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai, as well as the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, had more than 100,000 troops, among which Li Zicheng was the fastest growing, because he met a capable man.

This person is Li Yan, the founder of the Apocalypse, his father Li Jingbai is the governor of Shandong Province of the Apocalypse Dynasty and the secretary of the military department, the Li family is a famous squire in the whole of Henan, and has a good reputation, Li Yan also once made a "Song of Persuasion", persuading other squires and tyrants to donate food with him to relieve the victims, but unfortunately, no one took care of him, other squires and tyrants would rather keep the grain moldy, than donate it for disaster relief, and the local officials did not care about the life or death of the people, and kept urging money and grain, In a fit of rage, he joined Li Zicheng's peasant army.

This is terrible, the Li family's reputation in Henan, coupled with Li Yan's ingenuity, suddenly doubled Li Zicheng's prestige, and directly became the savior in the minds of the people, and the people who defected to him were like carp crossing the river, and his troops soon reached 150,000.

This time, he was also ruthless, and directly led the army to besiege Luoyang City, wanting to take advantage of the absence of the imperial army in the Central Plains, take Luoyang City, rob the rich king of the world, and make a fortune!

And Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai didn't know which tendon was wrong, so they plotted to seize the important town of Xiangyang and play a big game!

All of a sudden, the five northwestern provinces were surging, the peasant army was blooming everywhere, and the corrupt officials and local tyrants and gentry who were killed cried for their fathers and mothers, and the urgent twists and turns flew to the capital like snowflakes.

Chongzhen was dumbfounded, the anti-thief came back so quickly, what the hell is going on?

The hundreds of thousands of anti-thieves captured by Zhang Bin are not fake, even the anti-thief leader Gao Yingxiang was arrested by Sun Chuanting and taken to the capital with a thousand cuts, how could they recover so quickly?

What's even worse is that at this time, almost all the imperial army has been transferred to Liaodong, and he can't mobilize enough troops to encircle and suppress the anti-thieves!

Wen Tiren was even more dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the peasant army had really not been wiped out, and it had developed into hundreds of thousands in less than three months, this time, he was really self-defeating, and pushed his brother-in-law Wu Zhenying into the fire pit!
