Chapter 43: A Big Victory!
At this moment, Chongzhen understood why Sun Chuanting Hong Chengchou was pitted by the original Chongzhen one by one, Pang Tianshou was a quarter of an hour late and did not drop the bomb, so many officials were talking about it, so Sun Chuanting Hong Chengchou was thousands of miles away, Chongzhen listened to these imperial historians talk about impeachment every day, and it was strange that he did not waver!
I remember that there was such a period in the history of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli was playing and entertaining in the palace, and suddenly heard the sound of the royal history of the city patrolling the city shouting loudly, and hurriedly asked the dancers to stop singing, and the great eunuch asked him why, Emperor Wanli actually said that he was afraid of the imperial history!
It seems that the system of speech officials who do not have to be responsible for speaking is about to be changed.
"Throw, throw, there's a fire in the south!"
There were soldiers shouting on the city wall, the distance was too far, only to see the small black dots on the hot air balloon being thrown down, and a raging fire broke out in the direction of Li Zicheng's camp in the south, followed by bursts of explosions and bursts of screams!
At this time, in late autumn, it is noon, the weather is dry, there are dead grass and dead trees everywhere, and a little spark will cause a fire, not to mention the densely populated military camp with tents everywhere!
"Your Majesty, the red flag has been hoisted from the hot air balloon"
The meaning of the red flag is to attack, that is to say, Pang Tianshou has successfully bombed, and the red flag is hung out to let the cavalry attack to expand the results!
Chongzhen stood up and shouted to the soldiers who were preparing to attack under the city tower, "The soldiers of the whole army obey orders!" It's time for you to make a difference! Kill thieves and make meritorious contributions, everyone will be rewarded! ”
"Kill the thief and make a meritorious service! Kill thieves and make meritorious contributions! ”
"Kill" Li Ke was the vanguard, leading the cavalry to take the lead out of the city gate.
Then the six doors were opened, and the new soldiers of the Tianzi Guard followed the generals and killed them!
Beijing City is ten miles away from Li Zicheng's camp, Li Ke's cavalry vanguard can be killed in a quarter of an hour, the enemy is outnumbered, only after making sure that the bombing is successful, Chongzhen dares to let the cavalry vanguard attack!
And this Tianziwei, there are 50,000 people who attacked, most of them were infantry, ten miles away, and they could kill Li Zicheng's camp in half an hour!
Having said that, this Tianziwei is neither the traditional tuntian system of the Ming Dynasty nor the conscription system, but closer to the combination of the compulsory military service system and the volunteer military service system more than 300 years later. Why is it closer, because entering the Tianziwei and the modern military system must be much more rewarding!
The military system of Tianziwei has been questioned by many officials, how can there be a reason to only use military service for four years, isn't this recruiting soldiers every year? Finally, the good soldiers were retired, before the war! But Chongzhen didn't bother to pay attention to these officials, although the officials were ruthless, Wanli was afraid that the officials would not go to court in the later period, Chongzhen was not afraid of the officials, but there was not much need for the dynasty, the kings of the Ming Dynasty in the south were reversed, Henan in Shaanxi was Li Zicheng's territory, Huang Degong of Shandong was nominally Ming but did not listen to the dispatch, Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan was also reversed, now is not the time for civil officials to govern the world, it is the time for military generals to fight the world!
Not long after, the Molotov cocktail had finished dropping the bomb and continued to float to the south, seeing the hot air balloon drifting farther and farther, Chongzhen saw that the hot air balloon hung out a blue flag to request a whereabouts signal, Chongzhen immediately asked the air force logistics personnel to raise the blue flag, indicating that they would respond.
It's just strange, this hot air balloon has not been dropped for a long time, and the fuel is enough, at this time, the infantry is afraid that they have just been killed, and now they are asking for landing, and they are not afraid that the thieves will catch it?
Although he was a little confused about the hot air balloon's request to land, Chongzhen still let the ground respond, agreeing to land and go to the rescue!
"Bailice obeys!"
"The minister is here!"
"You personally led a hundred Jinyi guards to assist the air force logistics to bring the air force back! Remember, don't fall in love with the war, and bring it back as soon as you find the Air Force! ”
"Yes!" Bailize immediately set off with Jinyi Wei and Air Force logistics to find a place where the hot air balloon landed to rescue and defend.
Under normal circumstances, the Air Force Logistics has special personnel to quickly bring back the landed Air Force, but before it was all training, or only in the sky over the capital, but this time, it was the first actual battle, and it went deep into the air above the enemy camp! The air force logistics personnel are not enough, and this request to land is a little confusing, so let Jinyiwei go to assist, see what is going on, and come back quickly to report the battle situation!
"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace and wait, you have been on the city tower for the past few days and have not been able to rest properly, and there will be no news about this battle for a while."
"What kind of return, I want to wait for the return of the Ming soldiers on the city tower, the Ming soldiers are on the front line and shed their blood to guard the Ming Dynasty for me, how can I go back to the palace and enjoy it alone!" Chongzhen scolded loudly!
The city tower is about ten miles away from Li Zicheng's camp, and it is not clear to see the situation on the battlefield, although last night's small plan kept Li Zicheng's army awake all night, and today there is a small victory, and there is a bombardment of Molotov cocktails, but Tianziwei is a new soldier for a few months after all, and all the soldiers who attacked are only 50,000 people, which is rushing into 500,000 people! It's hard to predict the outcome or outcome! What can you safely go back to the palace!
In case of defeat, only if the emperor is still on this city tower, the other Tianziwei who defend the city will not panic!
Chongzhen kept looking into the distance, waiting for the news ahead, and after estimating for an hour, he finally saw Jinyiwei and the air force galloping back to the city on horseback!
"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei and the Air Force are also back!"
"Quick, let them go up to the castle and talk back!"
After a while, the air force such as Bailice and Pang Tianshou came over.
"How the war went"
"Qiqi Emperor, after the hot air balloon that the minister rode floated to the Li thief camp, he saw the Li thief camp in front, thinking that the thief should capture the king, so he did not rush to drop the bomb, as expected, the minister could really fly to the sky above the camp of the handsome, then the minister ordered the bomb, and after the minister dropped the bomb, the Li thief camp was on fire everywhere, and the Li thief seemed to have civil strife"
Chongzhen: "Civil strife? ”
Pang Tianshou was also puzzled and said: "Yes, because our army has not yet arrived at that time, but the Li thief army below has already attacked each other. ”
Chongzhen turned his head and asked Bai Lice, "Can you pass by Li Zicheng's camp, and do you see the situation in the camp?"
"Your Majesty, when we arrived at the thief camp, we saw that the thieves killed by our cavalry were defeated everywhere, many thieves surrendered and begged for mercy, and when we came back, the infantry just killed the thief camp, because the thieves were running around, we didn't stay for fear of accidents!"
Civil strife? What can be a civil strife? Could it be that the paper bombardment has an effect? Or does Li Zicheng have other plans? Li Zicheng's camp was a little far away, and the city tower couldn't see the situation over there, only faintly heard the sound of killing and screaming, and it was unknown how it was.
"Quick, Meteor Horse, go see what's going on ahead, and report back quickly!"
Two hours later, just as Chongzhen was anxiously waiting for the battle report ahead, he saw the meteor horse galloping into the city.
As the meteor horse entered the city, he shouted, "Great victory!" Victory! Our army is a big thief! ”
"What did the meteor horse say" Chongzhen was also so excited that the people around him confirmed with him again, although the meteor horse was still cheering, the soldiers up and down the city tower were also cheering!
"Back to the emperor, the meteor horse said, our army has won a big victory, and the thieves are broken!"
"We won, Your Majesty, we won!" Ni Yuanlu jumped up like a child! Although he didn't personally lead the troops to fight, it was a good thing to win!
At this point, Chongzhen admires Ni Yuanlu very much, this is a real gentleman, Ni Yuanlu is also a member of the Donglin Party, but unlike other Donglin Party members, he will only be full of benevolence and morality, jealousy and attack his colleagues!
"God bless the Ming! God bless the great! The other officials also knelt down happily and prayed to heaven!
The soldiers on the castle tower were also overjoyed! Win! And it's a big win!
