Chapter 976 Wu Sangui's messenger
With the assistance of Li Guozhen, the soldiers of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division were reorganized into the Fourth Division, which was subordinate to the third battalion, with Bai Guangen, who was born in the Beijing Division, as the division commander, and the rest of the nearly 10,000 soldiers. Apex Fiction X23UOM
Li Xin knew the heavy task that the Third Battalion would face next, so he pulled all four divisions out of the city and conducted round-the-clock high-intensity drills, especially the Fourth Division, which had just been reorganized.
On March 27, the second year of Yongchang in China (1644 AD), Li Zicheng and others transported Zhu Youzhen and Empress Zhou Yufeng to the imperial mausoleum in Changping and buried next to the tomb of the noble concubine Tian Xiuying.
When the people who were buried returned to Beijing in the evening, Li Zicheng summoned the three princes Zhu Ci in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace? R, Zhu Cijiong, Zhu Cizhao.
Li Zicheng told the three that their identities are very sensitive, and if they want to survive, there are only two ways: either stay in Beijing forever, and Huaxia will ensure that they will be rich for a lifetime; Either stay away from Beijing and expand the territory for China.
Zhu Cijiong wants to expand the territory of China, but Zhu Ci? R, Zhu Cizhao was hesitant, and Li Zicheng didn't force it, but just told them that it was not too late to wait until they became adults to make a decision.
The three of them still live in Ciqing Palace, and they don't have much freedom, but they also don't have to worry about food and clothing.
Li Zicheng was having dinner, and Wang Zhizhi, the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, hurriedly came over, "Your Majesty, Wu Xiang asks to see you!"
"Wu Xiang?" Li Zicheng was overjoyed, since Wu Xiang was here, it must be Wu Sangui who had a message, and he was busy: "Spread it quickly!"
After a while, Wu Xiang followed the heart of the king into the Dongnuan Pavilion, and behind him, there was also a military general in full armor, both of whom knelt on the ground, "Knock on the emperor!"
"Let's all be flat!" Li Zicheng glanced at the armored general and said, "Old General Wu, this is ......"
After Wu Xiang got up, he stood in front of the dragon chair, bowed slightly and said: "Back to the emperor, this person is Yang Kun, the deputy general of Liaodong, entrusted by the eldest uncle of the child, he went back to Beijing to see the emperor, because he was worried that he would not be able to see him, so he went to Wu's mansion, and the villain immediately took him to ask to see the emperor, and he didn't even have time to take off his armor......"
"The original General Yang? Sit down, Mr. Wu sits too!" Li Zicheng estimated that since Yang Kun came to Beijing from all the way away, and followed Wu Xiang into the palace to ask for a meeting, Wu Sangui must have positive information, as for Wu Xiang said, Yang Kun entered the Wu Mansion, and he didn't even have time to take off his armor, so he hurriedly entered the palace to ask for a meeting, whether it is true or not, it doesn't matter, he asked Wang Zhixin to serve tea to the two, and said lightly: "Wu Zongbing, how many soldiers are there?" ”
Wu Xiang glanced at Yang Kun and nodded slightly, Yang Kun hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, under the command of General Wu, there are 40,000 soldiers, including 5,000 cavalry, and in addition, there are 10,000 soldiers in Shanhaiguan!"
With the addition of soldiers with high diving, there are only 50,000, and 50,000 soldiers can hold Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan...... Li Zicheng thought for a moment and said, "Where is General Wu now?" ”
"Back to the emperor, General Wu is now in Shanhaiguan ......"
"Shanhaiguan?" Li Zicheng frowned slightly, didn't Zhu Youzhen give Wu Sangui the holy decree of King Qin a long time ago, why is he still in Shanhaiguan?
Yang Kun seemed to understand Li Zicheng's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, General Wu received the emperor...... Emperor Chongzhen's holy decree immediately withdrew from Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan, because there were 500,000 people along the way, so it was impossible to march quickly, and arrived at Shanhaiguan on March 19, 22 to Fengrun...... But at that time, the Beijing division had been broken, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, and General Wu had to retreat to Shanhaiguan ......"
Li Zicheng nodded slightly, Wu Sangui has not yet arrived, the Beijing division has been broken by the Mandate of Heaven Army, and the division of King Qin has lost its goal, and it is normal for people to retreat to Shanhaiguan to wait and see.
His heart suddenly moved, "Is General Yang saying that Ning Yuan outside the gate originally had 500,000?" Where are these people now? ”
Yang Kun didn't understand, Li Zicheng didn't care about the soldiers of Shanhaiguan, why did he care about the people? He said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, General Wu escorted the people into the customs, because he had to urgently serve the king...... So they were thrown into Shanhaiguan......"
It's good to be in the pass, so as not to run back and forth!
Li Zicheng thought for a moment, glanced at Yang Kun, and said, "What is General Wu's mind?" ”
"Back to the emperor, Wu Zongbing received the emperor's edict, and immediately informed the whole battalion of soldiers to prepare to return to the Huaxia Kingdom, Wu Zongbing was afraid that the emperor was worried, so he hurried with the villain day and night, and returned to Beijing to report the news......" Yang Kun sleeved out a document and said: "This is a handwritten letter from Wu Zongbing to the emperor with the villain!"
Wang Zhixin stepped forward, took the paperwork, presented it with both hands, and handed it to Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng tore the seal, opened it, and unconsciously showed a smile on his face.
Wu Sangui finally did not surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and became the "traitor" who had been stinking for 10,000 years, because he protected the Wu Mansion by himself, and history has changed dramatically from here!
He didn't believe that Wu Sangui was a fraudulent surrender, the Ming Dynasty was gone, Wu Sangui had lost his allegiance, and if he didn't submit to Huaxia, he had to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
If it weren't for the exhaustion of mountains and rivers, who would want to take refuge in the Manchu Tartars? A herd of uncivilized wild boars......
Li Zicheng raised his head and looked at Yang Kun with a smile, "General Wu is worthy of being a handsome man who knows the current affairs, and now tens of thousands of troops are stationed in Shanhaiguan, but what are the difficulties?" ”
"Go back to the emperor......" Yang Kun said carefully: "The soldiers of Liaodong have not received food and salary for more than a month, and the soldiers are all hungry ......."
"Since General Wu has surrendered to Huaxia, the soldiers of Liaodong are the army of Huaxia," Li Zicheng got up and said: "General Yang will rest for the night, and return to Shanhaiguan early tomorrow morning, and tell General Wu that I will use the fastest way to deliver a batch of grain to Shanhaiguan and solve the food problem as soon as possible, and in addition, I will send someone 50,000 taels of silver as the salary of the Liao soldiers!"
"The villain thanked the emperor on behalf of all the soldiers of Shanhaiguan!" Yang Kun hurriedly bowed to the ground.
Li Zicheng asked Yang Kun to get up, but said to Wu Xiang: "On these two days, I will personally lead the army to Shanhaiguan to escort the people of Liao to return to their homeland.
"The emperor is going to Shanhaiguan?" Wu Xiang was taken aback, and unconsciously closed his eyes slightly, and the two streams of essence were restrained.
"I want to stay in Jingshi too!" Li Zicheng said quietly: "But the Tartars of Liaodong don't make people worry!"
Only then did Wu Xiang know that he had misunderstood what Li Zicheng meant, and his old face turned red unconsciously, and he said curtly: "The emperor is saying that the Manchu Tartars will send troops to Shanhaiguan?" ”
"Huaxia and Daming fought to the death, how could the Tartars let go of such a good opportunity?" Li Zicheng looked at Yang Kun and said, "General Yang is in Shanhaiguan, has he received any information that the Tartars are going south?" ”
"Back to the emperor, when the villain was in Shanhaiguan, he hadn't heard of it......"
"It seems that the Tartars have not yet arrived at Shanhaiguan," Li Zicheng sighed: "The Shengjing City of the Tartars is thousands of miles away, and it will take time for them to go south, we should be able to restore Ningyuan City before the Tartars go south!"
Li Zicheng replaced Yang Kun, and when he returned to Shanhaiguan, he tried his best to let the people of Liaodi return to Ningyuan, and the army of Huaxia would arrive later, and Ningyuan City must be restored.
Wu Xiang originally thought that Li Zicheng was going to seize Wu Sangui's military power, but at this time he knew that Li Zicheng was going to restore Ningyuan City that Wu Sangui had given up.
Although the Huaxia Kingdom overthrew the Ming Dynasty, it was in front of the cavalry of the Manchu Tartars......
Although he agreed to accompany him, there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
After Wu Xiang and Yang Kun left, Li Zicheng immediately flew pigeons to pass the book to Xi'an, and then transferred to Lanzhou and Xining, and transported a batch of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn seeds to Beijing as soon as possible.
Thinking of the upcoming battle at Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng's heart was surging, and he couldn't sleep for a while, so he sat alone in the study for a long time, and went through the possible situation in his mind as much as possible.
When she returned to the dormitory, it was already her child, Dou Meiyi happily served Li Zicheng to bed, but Li Zicheng felt very tired, and as soon as her head hit the dragon pillow, there was a heavy snoring sound, which made Dou Meiyi roll her eyes!
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was at dawn, Li Zicheng got up, first sent an order to Li Xin, so that the third battalion should make all preparations, and tomorrow morning he would leave the Beijing division and rush to Shanhaiguan.
Immediately summoned Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and entrusted the entire Beijing Division to them, the officials of the Eight Divisions of the Three Academies, only they were in the Beijing Division, and the rest of the chief officials were either in Xi'an, or on the way to the Beijing Division in Xi'an.
In terms of government affairs, Li Zicheng handed over to Song Xiance, and Niu Jinxing was in charge of the military.
Li Zicheng specially told Niu Jinxing to merge the fourth battalion with the Fengtian battalion into a new fourth battalion, with Li Ji as the main general and Liu Zongmin as the deputy general.
The original 1234th Regiment was combined into the 1st Division, and the division commander was Zhao Lie; The 5678th Regiment was combined into the 2nd Division, with the division commander Gao Lu; The Fengtian Battalion was combined into the Third Division, and the division commander He Jin.
Of the four regiments of the 1st Division, only three regiments were equipped with rifles and mountain artillery, and the soldiers of the 4th Regiment were given precedence to be equipped with rifles, mountain guns, and grenades whenever possible.
The remaining 5th and 6th Battalions were to be combined into one division in the same way.
Niu Jinxing was shocked, "The emperor personally conquered Shanhaiguan, did he only bring a third battalion?" ”
"No, there are also cavalry of the first battalion," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "The main force of the Tartars is all cavalry, and no matter how many infantry there are, it will be difficult to come in handy, and it will only increase casualties." ”
"Only two battalions?" Niu Jinxing was very surprised, in addition to the fifth battalion headquarters attacking Shandong, there were still the second, fourth, sixth, and seventh battalions left in the Beijing Division, and there was no battle for the time being......
"Isn't there still 50,000 Liao soldiers in Shanhaiguan?" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "There are too many troops, and it will be difficult to replenish, by the way, you let it?" ┙?baked = 6 young oar? Hoof? Medium 4 Uranium? Waste clam gum 9 hexagram shrugged Ganchang!?/p>
