Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume 9 The Great Tribulation

Chapter 3 The Gathering of Soldiers to Quell the Thieves and Rebellion

Section 8 Rushing back

Six days later, Shaanxi, Yichuan City.

At this time, Yichuan City was stationed in the Hanwei Army, the Xuanda Army, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Trilateral Army, as if it had become a huge military camp, from time to time there were teams of elite iron horsemen in and out of the city, or patrolling back and forth, the people passing by retreated to the side of the road to avoid, the tense atmosphere before the war was full of it, making people feel very depressed, there were few people walking around at will on the streets of the city, and the people were hiding at home, for fear of being accidentally involved.

The prefect's yamen in Yichuan City has been requisitioned by Liu Yunwei and temporarily used as the location of the Chinese army to conquer the army. At this time, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, and the generals of the army all gathered in the hall and listened attentively to Liu Yunwei's lecture.

"In this battle to pacify the thieves, our army has achieved great victories one after another, and has successively beheaded more than ten people such as Gao Yingxiang, the first thief Zhang Xianzhong, and Lao Huihui, and annihilated hundreds of thousands of thieves' army, and hundreds of thousands of homeless people and people who will be coerced by the thief army, and recovered several cities, which can be described as fruitful, basically annihilating the main force of the thief army! Now, only the remnants of the general Li Zicheng's army are defeated, and the three righteous sons and thieves of the thief Zhang Xianzhong's department are still wandering. The governor decided to concentrate his forces to exterminate the remnants of Li Zicheng's troops first, and then work with the local soldiers of Shaanxi and Shanxi to eliminate Zhang Dingguo and other three thieves! ”

Everyone was excited when they heard this, and they all got up and clasped their fists and said: "We must do our best to quell the thieves with the superintendent (Broken Army) and make new contributions!" ”

Liu Yunwei smiled and nodded, and was about to announce the order to divide the troops to attack the remnants of Li Zicheng, but suddenly saw a general manager of the guards running in in a hurry, clasping his fists and saying: "Inspector Qiqi, the imperial court has sent an angel to announce the decree, and the honor guard is less than twenty miles away from Yichuan City; In addition, Governor Yuan of the Investigation Division has just sent someone to send an urgent letter, saying that there is a change in Liaodong, and 100,000 are in a hurry! ”

Liu Yunwei couldn't help but jump in his heart when he heard this, a pair of sword eyebrows wrinkled directly into a Sichuan character, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the letter?" ”

The Bai general manager hurriedly presented the letter to Liu Yunwei, and Liu Yunwei eagerly opened it and read it. At this time, the generals in the lobby were also taken aback when they heard about the regeneration and changes in Liaodong, and they all whispered about it.

Guo Yi frowned and whispered to Li Tianhao beside him: "General Li, do you think it could be that the Qing army is taking advantage of the south?" ”

Li Tianhao nodded with an unkind face, but then shook his head again, and said with some uncertainty: "I can't say it well, it is said that before our Hanwei Army's 300,000 soldiers went north in three ways, and the Qing army was disabled, it didn't take long, could it be that the Qing army recovered so quickly?" It's too anxious to come out and find death! It doesn't make sense! ”

Guo Yi also agreed with the words, so he frowned and looked at Liu Yunwei, wanting to see something from Liu Yunwei's face, but found that Liu Yunwei's face was very ugly at this time, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and said secretly: "This is a big deal!" ”

After a while, Liu Yunwei put down the letter in his hand and said in a deep voice to Zhou Tianyi beside him: "Governor Zhou, immediately lead a thousand pacesetter battalion soldiers to meet the honor guard of the angels. ”

Zhou Tianyi hurriedly got up to receive the order and walked out of the lobby quickly.

Then, Liu Yunwei looked at the generals who were looking at him, and said with a somewhat lonely expression: "It seems that the next battle will depend on Lord Hong and Lord Zhang, and it is estimated that in a few days, the soldiers of my Hanwei Army will return to the four towns of Jiliao." ”

Hong Chengchou and Zhang Zongheng were very shocked when they heard this, and asked what happened, was it the Qing army that went south? And Li Tianhao, Guo Yi and other generals of the Hanwei Army were also anxious, and asked what happened in Liaodong.

Liu Yunwei said with an unkind face: "The Qing army did not go south, but divided its troops and went north. ”

"What? Went north? ”

When everyone heard this, they were puzzled, what else was in the north of Liaodong? There is nothing but ice and snow, what is the Qing army going to do in that extremely cold place?

"It is reported that the Manchus concentrated 100,000 troops and marched north from the Yalu River into Korea, preparing to destroy the Korean state; At the same time, the Manchu Nu chieftain Taiji personally led a total of 100,000 troops from the two Yellow Banners and the Han Army Banner to the north of the Horqin Division, from the Horqin Department into Mongolia, and the 200,000 Mongolian troops led by Lin Dan Khan started a battle west of Horqin, and it is not clear what the victory or defeat of the two sides will be. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, they never expected that the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who was greatly injured, would make such a big move, and the emperor Taiji was even more amazing, and the first time he made a move after succeeding to the throne, everyone was shocked.

Hong Chengchou's face changed even more, and he exclaimed: "If the Korean state is destroyed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it will be tantamount to breaking one of the arms of the country; And that Lin Dan Khan has always been ambitious and talented, and he has the blood of the golden family, and he can't rectify the strength of the Mongolian tribes, and the Mongolian tribes have long since deviated from it, Lin Dan Khan is by no means the opponent of Huang Taiji, and this time the Mongolian tribes are also dangerous! ”

Liu Yunwei was very appreciative of Hong Chengchou's opinion, nodded, and said: "This is exactly what the governor is worried about, if the Manchu Qing attack and destroy the Korean State and Lin Dan Khan, then the Manchu Qing can not only obtain the Mongolian iron cavalry with strong troops as soldiers, but also get the Korean 3,000 miles of rivers and mountains as money and food supplements, and the Manchus can greatly increase their national strength in a short period of time and quickly recover their vitality." At the same time, after this attack, Huang Taiji not only consolidated his position as the new emperor, but also cut off two major worries in one fell swoop, so that he could go south to attack the western Liaoning region with all his strength in the future. At that time, the favorable situation laid down by hundreds of thousands of soldiers of our Hanwei Army who fought bloodily will be in vain! The Governor will not allow it! ”

Zhang Zongheng frowned and said: "The imperial court must have seen this, it is estimated that the holy decree in the hands of the angel is the order of the imperial court to transfer the military uncle back." This Huang Taiji really has some intelligence, knowing that a thief rebellion broke out within my Ming Dynasty, and Po Junbo led the army south to quell the chaos, and he had no time to take care of the Manchu side in a short time. So Huang Taiji took this opportunity to send troops from both directions, what a good calculation! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yunwei settled down, then got up and said to Hong Chengchou and Zhang Zongheng: "After the governor receives the order, he will lead the army back to the four towns of Jiliao tomorrow, and the war in Shaanxi will be entrusted to the two of you!" After the Governor left, the Governor of the three sides, Lord Hong, was fully responsible for the war, and the Governor of Xuanda, Lord Zhang, was responsible for the support, and the Governor would report to the court as soon as possible, believing that the appointment of the two Lords would come down soon. ”

Hong Chengchou and Zhang Zongheng both bowed their hands when they heard this: "Please rest assured, the two of us will do our best!" ”

However, Hong Chengchou's face was full of excitement and confidence, and he was a little eager to try; And Zhang Zongheng's face flashed with a hint of displeasure.

Liu Yunwei also saw it in his eyes, but thinking of Hong Chengchou's ability, he was still very relieved to entrust him with the war.

"The stakes are very high to exterminate the remnants of the thieves, and Zhang Zongheng doesn't dare to mess around, at most he is just a little resentful."

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Yunwei led Hong Chengchou, Zhang Zongheng and the generals of the whole army to greet the angel honor guard outside the north gate of Yichuan City.

After the guard of honor stopped, the angel who stepped out of the carriage surprised Liu Yunwei, Hong Chengchou, and Zhang Zongheng. The angel who came to announce the decree turned out to be Emperor Chongzhen's henchman, the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen!

Seeing this, Liu Yunwei's heart sank even more: "Even Wang Chengen has personally come to announce the decree, which means that the situation in Liaodong has reached the point of great urgency, and His Majesty can't wait for me to go back to preside over the affairs of Liaodong!" ”

After the meeting, Liu Yunwei led everyone to come forward and salute, saying: "Father-in-law has worked hard all the way, hurry up and go into the city to rest, the governor has prepared a banquet to wash the dust for my father-in-law." ”

Wang Chengen's face was full of exhaustion, and at this time he forced himself to smile and said: "There is a broken army, but the miscellaneous family can only refute the good intentions of the broken army this time." The miscellaneous family is here now, and today the broken army will lead the army and the miscellaneous family back! ”

Liu Yunwei was shocked when he heard this, forcibly suppressed the churning emotions in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, the situation in Liaodong has reached such a point? ”

Wang Chengen nodded, and said with a gloomy face: "The miscellaneous family has received the latest news on the road, Lin Dan Khan has been defeated, and he has lost a big defeat!" 200,000 Mongol iron horsemen died and surrendered, and Lin Dan Khan fled all the way west with the remnants of the defeated army, and it is said that he fled directly to the area of Hamiwei. ”

Hearing this, everyone, including Liu Yunwei, was shocked, Huang Taiji's shock to everyone came too suddenly, the Manchu Qing, who was already dying under the powerful blow of the Han Wei army, suddenly burst out with such combat power, it is really incomprehensible.

Liu Yunwei then asked, "Father-in-law, what happened to the Korean country?" ”

"There is no latest news from the North Korean side, but ......"

Wang Chengen paused for a moment, the expression on his face became even more gloomy, and continued: "Huang Taiji took Haoge, the main banner of the Zhenglan Banner, as the main general, and Azig, the owner of the Red Flag Banner, as the deputy general, led the Qing army of the Zhenglan and Red flags, as well as the first part of the Han Army Banner to North Korea. In the face of such a strong force, the miscellaneous family thought that if the DPRK did not send troops to rescue it, the state affairs of North Korea would not last long! ”

"That's what Ben Governor means!"

Then, Wang Chengen read out the holy decree outside the city gate, the content of the holy decree was to order Liu Yunwei to immediately lead the army back to the four towns of Jiliao and send troops to Liaodong as soon as possible, so as to force the Qing army that had gone to Mongolia and Korea to return to help.

After Liu Yunwei received the order, he said to Hong Chengchou and Zhang Zongheng: "Two adults, this governor will set off with the whole army and go back with the prince. Shaanxi's affairs will be entrusted to the two! ”

Hong Chengchou and Zhang Zongheng expressed their determination again, Liu Yunwei nodded and didn't say much when he saw this, and immediately ordered the pacesetter battalion and the Yue cavalry battalion to assemble a total of 60,000 troops out of the north gate of Yichuan City, and the army would start an hour later.
