Yang Qing first went to Zhengzhou......

At this time, the transport line from Chenzhou to Zhengzhou was still open, and only occasionally Mongol cavalry could be seen.

After all, it's only two hundred miles, and the scout cavalry released is on this empty plain, and it is easy to run from Yifeng to this area, and the rivers of Suishui and Jialu River are frozen along the way, and the cavalry runs directly through, and the latter is the main water transportation channel to Zhengzhou. In the sixth year of Hongzhi, Liu Daxia dredged the old road of the Jialu River, from Zhongmu to the south in the territory of Weishi and then turned to the southwest to connect the Shahe River into the Yinghe River, and finally made the Yinghe River and the Vortex River merge into the Jialu River to reach Zhongmu directly, and then enter Zhengzhou from the dredged Zhengshui.

This transport line is not inferior to the Yellow River.

It is not easy to meet the rising water when the Yellow River is swimming upstream, but this transportation line is much smoother, but it cannot sail too large boats, but it is faster than the Yellow River. In fact, the Jialu River was known as the grain river in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was not until the Yellow River broke in this area six times in a row after Daoguang, and the sedimentation and silting of the Yellow River water poured in destroyed this water transportation line.

But this time it is unblocked.

These Mongol cavalry encountered a brigade of cavalry such as the cavalry brigade and fled directly, without any fighting between the two sides......

These Mongol cavalry were not for war.

They just came to see why Li Zicheng hadn't started a war with the Ming army yet, saying that both Dolgon in Beijing and the famous Duoduo were waiting for the Shun army to leave Luoyang! They also lacked an intelligence network against Li Zicheng, and reconnaissance in the north could not be blocked by the patrol of the cavalry army, and only this direction could know in time whether the two sides had started a war.

Yang Qing was not interested in any of this.

He led Li Zhanchun's cavalry brigade directly into Zhengzhou, and in the cheers of the soldiers and civilians of Zhengzhou, he encouraged them, and then left Zhengzhou to knock on the tiger prison......

"Mabao, open the door!"

Yang Qing controlled the war horse and shouted at it in front of the Tiger Prison Pass.

The keeper here will be Mabao.

He is a brigade commander under Li Zicheng, which is not a too high position, after all, Li Zicheng has too many generals with higher ranks than him, but Li Zicheng's military and political system is different, the brigade commander of the regular army and the military and political chief of his brigade station, that is, General Wei. Li Zicheng integrated the military and the government, imitating the Tang Dynasty's system of twelve guards, setting up twelve guards in the entire Guanzhong and Shanxi, with a general commanding one guard, and a different number of militia brigades under the guard, the former equivalent to the prefecture, the latter equivalent to the county. The Standing Army, like the Ming Army, was at all levels of the brigade battalion, with the Standing Army under command and the garrison general, and the Standing Army Commander and the garrison militia brigade commander, who militarized and managed the communes under its jurisdiction.

Wherever the garrison is stationed, it will take over the management of the locality, and the military and the government will not be separated.

So the Shun army is really hard to fight.

Even if the Ming army really attacked Guanzhong, if it didn't get it right, it would have to knock out its teeth, this kind of system in which all the people are soldiers and the generals of the army monopolize power is as headache as the Western Xia back then.

And there is also unity inside.

Yang Qing didn't want to fight or was not purely unwilling to die too much, if there was no blood feud between the two sides, it would not be difficult to resolve it peacefully in the future, after all, for ordinary people, there was nothing unacceptable about the commune changing to Huangzhuang. But if you really want to fight a big war, and the two sides have a bunch of blood feuds, it will not be so easy to resolve the Qin domain peacefully, at least you will face resistance, and even if there is a small number of resistance, this kind of system where all the people are soldiers is also very troublesome.

So if you can, you won't fight.

The defenders on the walls quickly went to report, and Marble appeared at the head of the city.

"Uh, Duke Chu?!"

He said with some consternation.

"You know that I haven't opened the door yet, do you want to wait for me to smash it open for you?"

Yang Qing shouted.

"Duke Chu, it's not my brother, I won't open the door for you, it's just that King Qin has an order, saying that he doesn't want to see you, whether you or the messenger you sent, you are not allowed to pass through the Tiger Prison Pass, we have also fought side by side, don't embarrass me!"

Ma Bao said as he leaned on the arrow stack.

A row of guns beside him was aimed at Yang Qing, but they didn't fire, and the guards of this famous fortress were so strong that they could even see the muzzles of the twenty-four-pound guns. At this time, Li Zicheng's army equipment level was not much weaker than that of the Ming army, and the Ming army was only stronger than the First Guards Army, the Eighteenth Army in the south and the two Marine Corps Corps, but the equipment of the vast majority of the army was actually at the same level as the standing army of the Shun Army.

All are Sul arquebuses.

It's just that the Ming army's logistical support capabilities are stronger.

And a lot of the equipment of the Shun army is purchased from outside, although it can be produced by itself, but the output is very small, so the replenishment ability after the loss is poor, and it cannot sustain the long-term war attrition.

"Li Zicheng doesn't see me?"

Yang Qing said with some surprise.

This is indeed a bit surprising to him, no matter what Li Zicheng does, he has to talk to him, what's the matter if he doesn't see him behind closed doors?

Are you afraid of his assassination?

If he wanted to assassinate, he wouldn't have waited until now.

Li Zicheng will not understand this.

"Duke Chu, that's what King Qin said, what if we say goodbye, now we all know this situation, if we don't fight, sooner or later we will have to be cleaned up by you. Although the brothers are not afraid that the Chu Guild will cut off our heads, but we were also promoted by the King of Qin, this loyal word still has to be spoken, and the King of Qin does not want to sit still, so we have to follow the King of Qin. Chu Gong is indeed a brother enough, but Chu Gong, you are an outsider after all, you still have to talk about this inside and outside, it is said that the brother should shoot at you at this moment, but that would be too unrighteous!

You'd better go back!

Don't embarrass your brothers! ”

Ma Bao said very sincerely.

"Then you tell Li Zicheng for me, since that's the case, don't involve too many people, just like the last battle of Yangzhou, I fought a gentleman's battle with him, he sent an infantry brigade, I sent an infantry brigade, and the two sides will win or lose in a battle. If I win, he will enter the dynasty as the king of Qin, and I will give him the treatment of a vassal king for the rest of his life, and give Li Guo Chang'an Metropolitan Unity, Liu Zongmin Dihua Imperial Metropolitan Unity, Gao Yigong Taiyuan Metropolitan Commandery, Tian Jianxiu Taiyuan Metropolitan Commandery, Liu Fangliang Hanzhong Metropolitan Commandery. The Guanzhong commune system remains unchanged, but it is renamed Huangzhuang, and everything is based on the example of the Ming Emperor, your standing army is reorganized into four armies, and it will not be split within ten years, and each person's official position will not be lower than the current one.

If he wins, then I will sign an alliance with him, and everything in the Qin domain will remain unchanged for thirty years, and we will renegotiate it after thirty years.

He should know who I am, and I will never change if I sign it. ”

Yang Qing said.

This was something he had planned before.

Instead of going to war in an all-out way, it is better to fight a gentleman's battle like last time, to minimize losses, and a duel-style battle against an infantry brigade will be won or lost. As for the victors, needless to say, the Guards Army could send out a line infantry brigade, and Li Zicheng's infantry was at best only barely close to the level of the Gustav line column. This is still learned from the training of the Ming army's mountain infantry and the previous Japanese slave army, and then experimented by himself, in fact, the strongest Shun army is the musketeer cavalry, which is the Ge Erdan-style camel city trained by Li Laiheng in the Western Regions.

The Shun army used this to run rampant in the Western Regions.

But even if it is replaced by a cavalry brigade, they have no play against the cavalry brigade.

Because the camel city is a light cavalry field tactic, it is useless against the cavalry of the Ming army, the Ming cavalry has a large number of cavalry cannons, and there are mortar cannons to bloom shells.

The elite cavalry of the Shun army is stronger than the cavalry of the Ming army only has combat experience and long-range running ability, which they have honed in countless battles in the Western Regions, but the cavalry of the Ming army, which fights with the Mongolian cavalry, cannot be compared in any case. If the two cavalry are put into the desert grassland to chase and fight each other, the Ming cavalry really can't do them, regardless of the level of the generals or the endurance of the soldiers, the Ming army will be a grade worse. If the two cavalry are compared, the Shun army is more like the Mamluks, while the Ming army is the disciplined cavalry of Xiao Na.

So no matter how he attacks, Yang Qing can ensure a steady win.

"Well, then I will send someone to report to the King of Qin!"

Ma Bao said.

Apparently they were also interested.

These ordinary generals of the Shun army actually didn't want to really go to war, they were different from those top military leaders, whose status determined that once they returned to the court, they would definitely not be as powerful as they are now. At most, with a title, with his family and wealth to be a rich man for the rest of his life, this is obviously not in line with the goals of such guys as Liu Zongmin and Gao Yigong, they are now either princes of one side or have great power, and they will not be willing to put it aside. So they weren't very interested in surrendering, and they would fight for everything they were doing if they needed to, but Ma Bao's second-level generals didn't need to care about that. Their power has not reached the level of reluctance, and the treatment given to them by Yang Qing after returning to obedience will definitely not be much lower than the current one, and they belong to the group that can be obedient or not.

But if they really fight, they will have no way out.

"Hurry up, then!"

Yang Qing said.

It is only two hundred miles away from Luoyang, and there is a perfect highway, and the stagecoach relay is only a few hours, even if it is only half a day to go back and forth, then he will wait here. Immediately afterwards, the garrison of Fanshui sent people to set up a tent for him, Ma Bao also sent people to send wine and food, and the Duke of Protector set up a table outside the Tiger Prison Pass to drink.

"Tell Ma Bao to come out and drink together!"

Yang Qing said to Shun Jun, who came out with wine and food.

He still has a good impression of Ma Bao, although this guy surrendered in history, and also guarded King Gui until the end, and also followed Wu Sangui to create Brother Ma's rebellion, and finally failed to flee incognito and died in the end, and even modern times can find out his descendants in Yunnan, but his surname has been changed to Tan. This kind of person belongs to the level of Fu General, and even the discipline is much stronger than that of the Fu General of the Republic of China, at least he did not betray his master once, Li Zicheng died before he voted for Nanming, King Gui ran to Burma and he surrendered to the Qing in a desperate situation, and finally did not betray the Wu family. As for his background, you don't need to care, don't come out with a Ningxia surname Ma and pull it on some people, he claims to be after Ma Yuan, he is from Longde, even now Longde is 80% Han.
