On December 27, the Emperor of Heaven issued an edict and paid a high-level tribute to the late Governor Lu Xiangsheng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The civil officials who supported Lu Xiangsheng and supported the war against the Qing Dynasty were inspired by this and became active again, attacking fiercely in the court. Yang Sichang lost the trust of the Son of Heaven because he instigated Zhu Youzhen to force Lu Xiangsheng to death, and now he is in a difficult situation, and he can only defend the gate under the attack of the main battle faction, which is far from the majesty of the past.

Li Zhi begged for compensation for Lu Xiangsheng, and the news of defeating Yang Sichang soon spread. All the officials said that Li Zhi defeated a pavilion elder with one sentence. The civil and military officials all understood Li Zhi's current power, and no one dared to scold Li Zhi as a traitor for a while.

But this is a battle in the court, and it is not in Li Zhi's consideration. Li Zhi had to think about the war in front of him, Dolgon's Qing army was still in Gyeonggi, and Li Zhi needed to unite with other Ming armies to defeat Dolgon.

In the county government of Jiyang County, Jinan Prefecture, Dolgon looked at Du Du who was kneeling on the ground and crying, and sighed.

The killing of the Ming Dynasty's "Governor of the World's Reinforcements", "Lu Xiangsheng", the "Secretary of the Military Department", once made the Qing army led by Dolgon happy for several days. However, this joy disappeared at once after Yue Tuo's defeat.

Yue Tuo still did not listen to Dolgon's policy, and still took the initiative to attack Li Zhi who came back to help in Fanjiazhuang. The 30,000 Manchurian and Mongolian coalition forces failed to defeat Li Zhi in the end, and they were crushed for thousands of miles. After the battle, Dudu and the Mongol banners collected the rout, and only found 16,000 remnants. Fourteen thousand were killed and wounded in the battle, or disappeared on the way to escape.

This is still the case that the Qing army is famous for its murder, and the Ming troops of the guards in various places do not dare to come out to attack the Qing army, and Du Du can calmly search for the routed army. If this were not the case, I am afraid that the casualties of this defeat would be even more staggering.

And the scene of the battle described by Du Du made the Manchurian nobles even more frightened. Li Zhi's firecracker could shoot through the armor of the Qing army in more than 100 steps, taking people's lives, and the firepower was endless. And the 140 cannons are even more terrifying, and they can be fired again after shooting, and they continue to slaughter the Qing army with scattered cannons.

Listening to Du Du's description of the scene of the fire salvo shooting the cavalry in the charging formation, all the Manchu nobles felt a chill in their backs. The firepower of this Ming army is a little terrifying.

Abatai sat at the head of Dolgon, heard Du Du's description, and said loudly: "The Ming army has now beheaded Yuetuo, and its morale has risen greatly. Li Zhi is becoming more and more invincible, and his reinforcements are increasing, how can we transport the hundreds of thousands of Nikans and livestock we plundered out of the fortress? ”

In the Manchu language, Nikan is a contemptuous term for the Han Chinese.

Previously, the Qing army Zhubeile also laughed at Abatai, who was about to collapse at the touch of Li Zhi when he encountered him. But now, under the backdrop of Yueto's defeat, Abatai's rout has simply become a wise decision to preserve his strength. Li Zhi's strength is too strong, and there is no shame in the defeat of the generals of the Qing army at the hands of Li Zhi.

Abatai has now regained his voice. He began to worry about the results of this plundering of Gyeonggi.

Huang Taiji's eldest son, Haoge, looked at Abatai, nodded and said, "Indeed, now that soldiers and horses are gathered from all over the Ming Dynasty, there are more and more enemies. We are in Jinan, 900 miles away from Qingshankou, and it is indeed difficult to bring more than 300,000 people and animals to retreat smoothly! ”

The Castle Pass was the pass of the Great Wall captured by Dolgon, and it was from there that his left flank troops entered the fortress. Dorgon left 2,000 soldiers to defend the pass, from where he was ready to go out of the fortress.

But now that there are more and more Ming troops, it has become a difficult task to get out of the fortress smoothly with the looted people and animals.

Dolgon looked at the people who looked nervous, and said slowly: "In return, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides of the Ming Kingdom, led 50,000 soldiers and horses, and arrived in Tongzhou, the outskirts of Beijing, yesterday. ”

Hearing this, the Manmeng nobles in the county government turned pale, and they couldn't bear it anymore. Abatai suffered Li Zhi's loss, and he panicked even more, and suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Oops, with so much assistance from the Ming army, Li Zhi can calmly start a war with us." ”

Haoge was also a little flustered, stood up and said: "I was ordered to be a general, with so many Ming troops cooperating with Li Zhi, our situation is very bad!" ”

Du Du on the ground got up and looked at Dolgon, and said loudly: "I have ordered the general, we quickly throw away the stolen men and animals, and quickly flee back to the Qingshan Pass to get out of the pass!" ”

Dolgon pondered the situation, and his face was ugly.

After defeating Yue Tuo, the morale of the Ming army was very different. The more than 70,000 soldiers and horses in Dolgon's hands met more than 100,000 Ming troops, and a large number of people and animal materials were also in charge, which was indeed a bit dangerous. In particular, Li Zhi's 10,000 strong soldiers are still eyeing each other, and they will come up and take a bite at any time.

Dolgon pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "We lost 20,000 people in Gyeonggi in the Ming Kingdom, and we relied on these plundered populations to replenish it, and these animals cannot be lost!" ”

Du Du was stunned and asked, "Then we will take these more than 300,000 people and animals to fight Li Zhi in a decisive battle?" Li Zhi is not easy to mess with, and the Ming army has more than 100,000! ”

Abatai shouted: "Ordered General, this is not the time to be greedy for money, save the lives of the warriors!" ”

Dolgon gritted his teeth and said, "Send someone to ask the emperor for help, ask him to enter the customs to support us, and take us out of the customs!" ”

After Li Zhi marched in the capital, he stayed in Tongzhou in accordance with the holy decree of the Son of Heaven.

Li Zhi is waiting for Hong Seungchou.

In the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou led 50,000 Shaanxi soldiers and horses into the defense of the Beijing Division, and Li Zhi was assigned to Hong Chengchou's command as the general army of Tianjin, and he had to fight with the Shaanxi soldiers and horses known as the "Qin Army".

On the nineteenth day of the first month, Li Zhi's scouts reported that Hong Chengchou's soldiers and horses had arrived in Tongzhou.

Li Zhi walked outside the gate to greet Hong Chengchou.

I only saw a cloud of smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and the dust raised by the 50,000 Qin troops marching on the field covered the sky. In front of the army, 10,000 horses galloped towards Li Zhi's camp.

Hong Chengchou's cavalry marched to Li Zhi's military camp and stopped. In the middle of the 10,000 cavalry, a thin middle-aged man in his forties wore a python suit, wore a black gauze hat, and rode out on a tall horse.

Hong Chengchou took another middle-aged man wearing a three-grade civil official uniform to come out of the crowd, rode up to Li Zhi, and jumped off the horse.

Hong Chengchou looked at Li Zhi, who led his subordinates in front of the gate and was also wearing a red python suit.

"This is the famous Tianjin General Soldier, the governor of the same general Li Zhi?"

Li Zhi arched his hand and said: "It's Li Zhi below, and the Governor has won the prize!" ”

Hong Chengchou laughed and said: "The general's array is inlaid with the red flag lord Yue Tuo, and his reputation is like thunder, how can he win the award?" ”

Although Li Zhi is an industrial designer, he also knows a little bit about history. Hong Chengchou's great name Li Zhi had heard of it, Li Zhi knew that he was a big traitor in the late Ming Dynasty, and later defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to help the Qing army, and made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains.

But talking to Hong Chengchou at this time, Li Zhi felt that this person was very affinity. A few words made Li Zhi feel like a spring breeze. (To be continued.) )
