Chapter 177: The beast is out of the cage
Li Zicheng's sudden turn made Yang Qing feel that he had become Yang Bailao in an instant.
Lao Li walked very elegantly.
In fact, at this time, he was able to take the initiative to withdraw his troops, and Dolgon was already burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, so it was impossible for the Shun army to be chased and beaten in history, and if Dolgon dared to go out of Beijing, it would not be that he chased Li Zicheng to fight, but that Li Zicheng chased him and beat him violently.
While Li Zicheng continued to besiege Beijing, he dug out all the surrounding sweet potatoes......
Even the sweet potato seedlings were dried.
It can be said that nothing was left for Dorgon, and even the other crops in the field were harvested.
By the way, he also breached several small cities around him......
He has an army of 200,000, and it is indeed too difficult to attack Beijing, but the surrounding small counties basically can't stop his wave of offensive, and the Shun army with Hongyi cannons easily blasted through the surrounding cities, and then killed all the gentry inside and forcibly took away all the ordinary people.
After all, Guanzhong has a small population.
He needs immigrants to fill a lot of places.
In addition, there is a shortage of women.
The Shun army went on a rampage to arrest women around Beijing, and then sent troops to forcibly escort them to Flying Fox Road.
And Dolgon didn't know anything about the outside, he just endured the cannonballs flying outside the city every day in Beijing, and occasionally the Shun army would launch an offensive to scare him, as for Duoduo, he knew what Li Zicheng was doing, but he didn't have the courage to provoke Li Zicheng's more than 200,000 troops, especially Li Laiheng's two armies behind him, and finally could only sit back and watch Li Zicheng vent his anger and create heinous tragedies in various parts of Shuntian.
The whole process lasted a month.
During this period, even the Shun army of Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan was transported to Tianjin by Li Zicheng's sailors, and the original attack on Baoding was also withdrawn, and Li Zicheng finally gathered nearly 300,000 troops in Beijing, and after the last batch of military rations given to him by Yang Qing arrived, he entered the Flying Fox Road to Ulzhou with women and food.
Duoduo led part of the Eight Banners Manchuria to attack his rearguards, but was beaten up by Li Laiheng.
Then, while Dolgon was wiping a cold sweat and celebrating their victory with the gentry of Beijing, Li Zicheng's troops, who had arrived in Ulzhou, divided into two routes, all the way south to Jiang Jiu, who was besieging Liu Zongmin, and the back of the Mongol army, and all the way west to Jiang Jiu's hometown of Datong.
He is an elite army of nearly 300,000 people who came with hatred!
Jiang Hao and the Mongol coalition fled south in a panic.
Tian Hongyu broke through Datong and washed the whole city in blood, regardless of the gentry including the Jiang family, all of them were killed, Jiang Huang's brother who stayed in Datong was directly cut by a thousand knives, and then drove the people in the city with the army, and left Datong in the south, at this time Li Zicheng had already joined Liu Zongmin, who had fought hard to more than 10,000 people left, and Liu Zongmin, who had been burned by anger and changed his mind, did not hesitate at all, and took his 10,000 remnants of the army as the vanguard to Taiyuan.
The Battle of Taiyuan has begun.
"How could he do this! How could he be so irresponsible? ”
Yang Qing chattered very hurtfully.
He also counted on Li Zicheng and Dolgon to fight in Beijing for half a year, and then he hid behind and continued to develop obscenely, and in a blink of an eye, Li Zicheng didn't give him to continue to be this meat shield and let him face Dolgon himself.
"He's not a fool!"
Zhang Yan said speechlessly.
"He fought a bloody battle for half a year, with 100,000 dead and wounded to defeat Beijing, and your side organized an army of 300,000 and marched north under the banner of rebellion, does he have any other choice than fleeing west? Since this is the end result, why doesn't he just go to Guanzhong now and throw Dolgon to you? I'd love to see how you can deal with the current situation.
Anyway, two of the three armies in Beijing can't come back in the south, and the reorganized armies have completed three, and as far as I know, you have more than 100,000 troops to be dismantled during this time, right? Relying on a fool in front of you to block the gun, rest assured and bold to put the knife and gun into Kuma and put Nanshan, but in a blink of an eye, the fool suddenly stopped being a fool, people learned to be smart, and you looked up opposite Dolgon sharpened the knife, this is really interesting! ”
Zhang Yan was very unfigurative, lying on the bed and smiling happily.
Yang Qing unceremoniously gave her a look.
"Please be aware of your identity!"
He said angrily.
"The identity of the slave family is just the outer room of the Marquis of Zhongyong, is the Marquis of Zhongyong pitiful tonight?"
Zhang Yan turned over and supported her cheeks with her hand, and pulled his mustache with the other hand and said coquettishly.
"No, have mercy on your daughter tonight!"
Yang Qing said.
He and Yuanyuan have already rolled together.
Originally, the reason for restraint was only because Zhang Yan was a stalk, but after subduing Zhang Yan, Yang Qing no longer needed to worry about this, in a dark and windy night, he didn't know that his godmother had taken the lead in Yuanyuan's daily teasing of Yang Qing, but he was forced to fall down, and he was so stiff in her panic blocking.
Poor Yuanyuan is still scared!
"Hmph, get out of here and find that little goblin!"
Zhang Yan kicked him dissatisfiedly and said.
Yang Qing grabbed her by her foot and neck and looked at the homemade clock on the table......
This thing was introduced into China during the Wanli period, with his level of knowledge, of course, not to do a clock workshop, in fact, the Ming Dynasty made more than European, and even has been basically close to the perfect clock, in fact, there is no need for Yang Qing, the Ming Dynasty could have been made, the European missionary Zeng Dezhao returned to Europe in 1640 to write a Chinese travelogue recorded that Chinese self-made chiming clock, and it is no worse than the European made.
"Mah, maybe you can let your daughter wait first!"
Yang Qing looked at the pointer, then looked at the Queen Mother lying in front of him, and pounced on it after speaking, and then the Queen Mother's coquettish laughter sounded......
The next day, Yang Qing, who got up from Yuanyuan's body, appeared at the staff headquarters with a solemn face.
"Everyone, the situation is critical!"
Yang Qing said to the sand table.
This sand table can be called a national treasure level, completely made in accordance with the terrain of the two Huai, from the south of the Yellow River in the north to the Yangtze River to the west of the Qinling Mountains, in addition to the sudden extra memories in this guy's mind, there are also the participation of those generals, and the person responsible for making the sand table under his guidance is Song Yingxing, who has just been appointed as the squire of the Equipment Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
Lao Song is a native of Jiangxi, and he was the governor of Bozhou before.
He didn't get into the jinshi.
He was an official who was directly selected by the Ministry of Officials and then served as an official, and climbed step by step from the teachings to Zhizhou.
Of course, it must be understood that he has such special treatment not because he has a genius, but because his great-grandfather is a close confidant of Xu Jie, and when he became the same counselor as Shi Kefa before, he was posthumously presented to Song Jing of the crown prince's Taibao, and his teacher was a political envoy, and the principal of his school was Yuzhang Society, a local community boss in Jiangxi with the same name as the Fu Society, although this is only a literary society, but ......
It is the study of the eight-strand literary style!
Lao Song, who is also a member of the family, sat aside, looked at President Yang holding a small wooden stick in his hand, and pointed to a small wooden square city on the sand table, and there were two words on a small pennant on the square city:
Yizhou.
"Send someone to tell Bai Yongfu ......"
Yang Qing said.
"Report!"
An officer suddenly came in and saluted and said: "Loyal and brave marquis, Bai Yongfu surrendered to Jiannu in Yizhou, Jiannu named him Zhongyong Gong, and made him the governor of Shandong, and Dolgon appointed the former Jizhou supervisor Daowang Aoyong as the governor of Shandong, and Jueluo Bahana led 20,000 Qing troops to follow him south to Jinan. Kong Xingqing, a member of the Kong clan, claimed to be the nephew of Kong Yinzhi, the holy prince of Qianyan, and raised troops in Qufu, and together with the gentry from Yanzhou and Dongping, expelled the officials of the Qin king's office and surrendered to Jiannu, and threatened that Kong Yinzhi's death was ......"
The officer didn't dare to continue.
"What?"
Yang Qing asked sternly.
"It was done by the loyal and brave marquis, and the fake Tony Mountain thief Yang Feng ransacked the Confucian Mansion and killed the Kong family."
The officer said cautiously.
"Hmph, madness!"
Yang Qing scolded angrily.
"Since this is the case, there is no need to say anything more to these traitors, the Fourth Army landed in Haizhou, must recapture Yizhou, the cavalry army and the Fifth Army along the canal to the north to attack Luxi, must seize Dongping, this Kong Xingqing dared to pretend to be Yan Shenggong and defected to the enemy as a traitor to blaspheme the name of Confucius, and Ling Chi was executed after taking Qufu."
He went on to say.
"What about Gao Yigong?"
A staff officer said.
These staff officers are all promoted from various armies, in fact, they are mainly the sons and nephews of those generals, and when the military academy is still under construction, they can only use this way to train staff officers, which is also to consolidate the alliance between Yang Qing and those generals, fortunately, these young people are at an age where they are easy to brain, and Yang Qing is confident that he will turn them into his fanatics.
"A high grade?"
Yang Qing said: "Isn't he a general of the imperial court? At this time, there was no news from the king of Qin, so he naturally had to be included in the temporary management of the metropolitan governor, and ordered him to attack Yizhou with Wu Guogui. ”
Those staff officers quickly drafted orders.
Immediately after these orders were sent to Yang Qing, Chief Yang quickly signed and sealed, and then the stagecoach would send them to the various armies.
Wu Guogui's subordinates reorganized the Fourth Army from the Guanning Army in Nanjing, directly to the Xiaguan wharf to wait for Huang Binqing's fleet to arrive from Chongming to load the ship, from here it will not take long to set off to Haizhou, although it is under the control of Bai Yongfu, but it will definitely not be able to stop Wu Guogui. And basically, when he arrived in Haizhou, Gao Yigong should also attack Yizhou, because the food supply was stuck by Yang Qing's neck, Gao Yigong would definitely not be disobedient, so that the two armies would attack Yizhou, even if Bahana arrived and joined forces with Bai Yongfu, it was useless.
20,000 Qing troops?
Wu Guogui has an army of 20,000 and Gao Yigong has an army of 50,000, just to deliver food to them.
As for the cavalry army of Gao Dejie who went up the canal, plus Xue Quji's Fifth Army, the gentry armies who entered Luxi on foot and rode easily swept away, even if there were another 20,000 or 30,000 Qing troops. Xue Quji is a subordinate of Huang Fei, originally a general who bloodbathed Jinzhou with Yang Qing, after Huang Fei entered the Dadu Governor's Mansion, he took over his department, and was originally killed in history with Huang Fei in the defeat of the Qing Dynasty.
And Huang Fei's department and Cao Youyi's department reorganized these three armies.
This is also the first batch of newly completed reorganization.
I have to say that Li Zicheng made Yang Qing a little embarrassed! Not only did the two main armies not return on the southern front, but the rest were either in the process of reorganization or had been dismantled, and the only ones who could be put into the battlefield immediately were these three armies and the first army that had been on the front line.
