Chapter 937 The Old Man Meets

On November 20, Li Zicheng led a large army to the city of Yulin and surrounded the city from the east and south. Vertex updates are the fastest

Li Zicheng shot an arrow book to the city# and told the defenders in the city that Yulin was a lonely city that could not be defended at all, and in order to avoid casualties, he should surrender as soon as possible.

Duren summoned Wang Jialu, Hui Xian, Liu Tingjie, You Shiwei and others to discuss countermeasures.

You Shiwei is the main general elected by everyone to defend the city, and he naturally fights, but he has no way to defend the city, so he can only be in a hurry.

Liu Tingjie said loudly: "Although Xi'an is broken, but the three sides are still there, Yulin Xiang is the strongest soldier in the world, if you can recruit dead soldiers, you can take away their qi in a battle, and then ask Ningxia and Guyuan to advance together, and the thief can be peaceful!"

Everyone had no better way, so they could only follow Liu Tingjie's advice, make an alliance with blood, and once again expressed their determination to defend the city to the death, and each contributed their private money to assist Liu Tingjie in recruiting troops.

Li Zicheng saw that the defenders in the city refused to surrender, so he divided his troops with Li Ji to attack the city.

There was no progress in the siege, but Li Zicheng successively received messages from the Tiger Cavalry Gao Ligong Department and the Third Battalion Qin Danian Division.

The Tiger Cavalry took Ningxia Town, Ningxia General Officer Fumin surrendered, and King Zhu Zhuo of Qing? , Longxiang County Wang Zhu Zhuo ?1?, Tanshui County Wang Zhu Zhu ?2?0 died in the rebellion, the newly established Ningxia Mansion, Wang Yongzuo has taken over as the prefect, Cui Wenrong as the city defense army guerrilla general;

The third battalion took the entire Pingliang Mansion, including Guyuan Military Town. p, deputy general Guo Tianji, Pingliang general Bai Guangen, Henan general Chen Yongfu, supervisor Ji Tongzhi Lantai surrendered, Han Wang Zhu J and others were killed.

Jian Renrui, the prefect of Pingliang, stayed in office and was appeasing the local people.

Li Zicheng looked at these two pieces of information, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, among the six general soldiers and deputy general soldiers who accompanied Sun Chuanting out of Tongguan in the east, Niu Chenghu and Wang Ding are missing, Bai Guangen, Chen Yongfu, and Guan Fumin have surrendered, only Gao Jie fled to Shanxi, unless they defect to the Mandate of Heaven Army, Shaanxi has no place for them to stand!

also killed the clan, Qin Dalai reported, "Han Wang Zhu J and others were killed", and Gao Yigong completely shirked his responsibility: Qing Wang Zhu Zhuo? , Longxiang County King Zhu Zhuo?1?, Tanshui County King Zhu Zhuo?2?0 died in the rebellion!

This high level is really interesting, if it weren't for the war, I really want to go to Ningxia Mansion to see.

However, the establishment of Ningxia and Pingliang is a big step forward from the occupation of the whole of Shaanxi by the Mandate of Heaven Army, and now only Yulin Mansion and Qingyang Mansion are being attacked by the independent battalion.

With Li Xin here, Qingyang Mansion doesn't have to worry, but this Yulin Mansion should give the city a fierce medicine, Ningxia and Guyuan have surrendered, can Yulin Lonely City still hold on independently?

Li Zicheng sent the news that Ningxia and Guyuan had been lost to the city, and gave an ultimatum: if it does not surrender within two days, the Mandate of Heaven army will slaughter the city in Yulin, and all civil and military officials and their families in the city will be slaughtered!

In the next two days, the 4th Battalion did not sit idle, but launched an even more fierce attack on the city, with 40 mountain cannons pouring # thousands of flowering shells into the city.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, in the final stage of the effective time of the ultimatum, the general Ma Mingjie opened the south gate, and Yulin fell.

A large number of civil and military officials in the city were captured: Du Ren, the political envoy of Youbu, Wang Jialu, the deputy general Hui Xian, the general Liu Tingjie, the guerrilla Fu De, Pan Guochen, Li Guoqi, Yan Weixin, Chen Erdian, Liu Fangxin, Wen Houguo, Guo Yuji, and Yang Zheng of the Chinese army? , Liu Yongnian, Ma Yingju, Banner Wen Jingguo, garrison You Mian, Hui Jian, He Dalei, Yang Yiwei, and command Li Wen? J, Wen Can, Huang Tingzheng, thousands of households He Shikui, Huang Tingyong, hundreds of households Huang Tingbi, etc.

Chen Yichang, Shen Jun, Shen Yan, Bai Gongji, Bai Hanzhang, Zhang Lianyuan, Lian Jie, Li Kezhu, Hu Yikui, Li Yinxiang, etc., who participated in the defense of the city, were also captured by the Heavenly Mandate Army.

After Li Zicheng entered the city, he found two very strange phenomena:

One is that there are a large number of civil and military officials in the city, and there are many military generals: You Shiwei, the governor of the left capital, Wang Shiqin, Hou Shilu, Hou Gongji, Wang Xueshu, deputy generals Chang Huai, Li Denglong, Zhang Fa, deputy general of Dingbian, Ma Mingjie, general Ma Mingjie, guerrilla Sun Gui, You Yangkun, garrison Bai Shenheng, Li Zongxu, head of the household department Zhang Yunju, Zhizhou Peng Qing, Liu Fang, etc.

The second is that there are many officers and few soldiers, except for the young and strong who are temporarily recruited, the defenders in the city are less than 1,000 people, but the civil and military generals in the city are more than 100 people, and the ratio of officers and soldiers is seriously uncoordinated.

Li Zicheng inquired in many ways, it is estimated that it is the people of Yansui Military Town, and the folk customs have always been strong, so a large number of generals have appeared, in this case, why not recruit a group of soldiers locally?

At this time, Li Xin had already taken over the entire Qingyang Mansion, with the right Senator Duan Fuxing as the Qingyang Prefect, the official Jin Shengju as the president of the court, and the Yuan Jideng of Anhua County as the director of the Qingyang Mansion Taxation Department, and initially established the local government.

He completely handed over the establishment of Yulin Mansion to Niu Jinxing and Li Wan, and personally selected the soldiers.

In the process of recruiting soldiers, Li Zicheng found that Yulin Mansion was really a military town, and the population was not large, and the young and strong people enthusiastically signed up to join the army, but Li Zicheng only recruited soldiers from one regiment, with Liu Tingjie as the regiment commander, leading the rank of guerrilla general.

In addition, after all, Yulin is close to the border wall, and it is necessary to guard against the nomadic nomadic cavalry on the Ordos Plateau, and Li Zicheng recruited a regiment of border troops, with Hou Gongji as the commander, directly under Yulin Mansion.

Niu Jinxing and Li Wan did a lot of work to persuade the political envoy of Youbu to be the first prefect of Yulin, Wang Jialu, the military commander of Guannan, to be the president of the court, and Chen Yichang to be the president of the supervision.

You Shiwei used to be the governor of Zuodu, the highest status in Yulin Mansion, the general Ma Mingjie took the initiative to open the city gate, received the Mandate of Heaven Army into the city, is the greatest hero, the two served as the chief soldier and deputy chief soldier of Yulin Mansion respectively, responsible for the training of reserve soldiers, the rest of the civil and military, according to the principle of voluntariness, can not go out, can also choose to go south with the Mandate of Heaven.

After a delay in Yulin Mansion for several days, when the land around the city was almost redistributed, Li Zicheng raised his troops and returned to Xi'an, and the pro-army that had remained in Mizhi County went south along the official road on his own.

When Li Zicheng returned to Xi'an, it was already the fifteenth day of the lunar month, although the weather was cold, but the civil and military officials of Xi'an City still knelt outside the city to greet him, to Li Zicheng's surprise, there were not only Song Xiance and others who stayed in Xi'an, but also three extremely familiar faces.

Liang Wencheng, Shen Dao, and Zhou Bin knelt in the ice and snow, met Li Zicheng's gaze, and hurriedly saw their foreheads knocked on the ground, "Dadu Governor!" ”

Li Zicheng sat on the horse, was stunned for a moment, jumped off the horse suddenly, and rushed towards the three of them, "Wen Cheng, Shen Dao, Zhou Bin, you are finally here!" Reaching out to support the three of them, his eyes scanning around the three of them.

"The Grand Duke!" Liang Wencheng, Shen Dao, and Zhou Bin got up, "The subordinates finally saw the governor of the capital......

"Wen Cheng, Shen Dao, these past few years, but you have worked hard!" In Li Zicheng's heart, he couldn't tell whether he was grateful or nostalgic for his previous life, but they managed the rear of the Heavenly Mandate Army in an orderly manner, which was really difficult for them, and the current Heavenly Mandate Governor's Mansion was no longer a Xining Mansion back then.

"The Metropolitan Governor trusts his subordinates, this is the grace of his subordinates!" Although Liang Wencheng had an appointment with Li Zicheng, in front of Xi'an Wenwu, he automatically changed his name.

Li Zicheng had mixed feelings, and if it weren't for them stabilizing the rear, he would definitely have some concerns, and the wars in Henan, Huguang, and Shaanxi would not have gone so smoothly.

Although they are not in Lanzhou, they are moving forward along the road they set at the beginning......

However, there were too many people to greet him, and Li Zicheng couldn't favor one over the other, so he encouraged the two of them a few words, and greeted the officials in Xi'an City.

Back in the city's security palace, Li Zicheng immediately asked the soldiers to pass Liang Wencheng and Shen Dao to see them, and the soldiers who stayed in the palace hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Dadu Governor, several ladies have come to Xi'an, and now they are in the palace, do you want to meet them first......

"Ma'am?" Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the ladies came to Xi'an with the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, and in his mind, from Gao Guiying Daona Muzhong, to Sun Mengjie and Chen Qiudie, they went through them one by one......

Suddenly, seeing the soldiers covering their mouths and laughing, Li Zicheng said angrily: "Is the governor of Pontus a person who abolishes the public for personal gain?" Why don't you go and pass on the two adults! ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" The soldiers were frightened and hurriedly ran away.

Li Zicheng knows that if he goes to see Gao Guiying and them now, he may be afraid that it will be difficult to end for a while, and in a few years, how can he finish it in three or two sentences? So he couldn't help but see, and first summoned Liang Wencheng and Shen Dao.

After a while, Liang Wencheng and Shen Dao trotted over, and Li Zicheng summoned them in the small hall.

Li Zicheng was most concerned about civil affairs, so Liang Wencheng reported first.

Liang Wencheng did not disappoint Li Zicheng, and the content of the report mainly has four aspects:

The people are completely self-sufficient in food, and even have a surplus, especially coarse grain, which cannot be eaten or sold, but can only be used to feed livestock.

Agricultural tax and industrial and commercial tax have increased substantially, and in Lanzhou, the industrial and commercial tax has surpassed that of the wealthy Chengdu, and the industrial and commercial tax in Xining is also close to Chengdu;

The naturalization work in Gansu, Qinghai, and Sichuan provinces is developing steadily, the people's living standards have improved significantly, taxes have been reduced, the main roads have been unobstructed, and the local government has done a lot of propaganda work, and there have been no incidents of the people collectively resisting the government;

The transportation network centered on Lanzhou and Xining has been initially formed, and bicycle teams can be seen everywhere on the avenue transporting various materials, and the transportation network centered on Chengdu and Chongqing is constantly expanding to the periphery, and has completed the docking with the Jianchangfu Avenue in the southwest corner......

Li Zicheng nodded frequently, the territory of the Mandate of Heaven Army, has begun to appear the shadow of China, the future of China, the people will no longer take food and clothing as the goal, but get rich together, only the development of industry and commerce, in order to make the people's lives irreversibly rich.

However, Liang Wencheng seems to have missed one of the most important aspects, Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Wencheng, what about the new education, how is it being promoted now?" ”
