Chapter 63: Frost is pregnant

When the Ming army arrived at the Dadu River, Tsering. Dorje had just led his army out from the Arrow Furnace.

Under such circumstances, Liu Wenxiu decisively formulated tactics and let the Ming army divide into two routes and ambush the mountains on both sides of the north bank of the Dadu River.

After the ambush was good, he asked the Ming army to prepare bows and arrows and boulders, once the Tibetan soldiers reached the mouth of the river, the Ming army would send thousands of people in unison, and the boulders rushed into battle.

In this way, even if the Tibetans have great ability, it is impossible to cross the river successfully.

As expected, after the army held the mouth of the river for three days, Tsering. With 20,000 Tibetan soldiers and thousands of lamas, Dorje came to the Dadu River.

At this time, the river is as fast as a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring, and there are no bridges or boats on the river.

Tsering. Dorje had no choice but to order the Tibetans to cross the river on rafts.

Just as the Tibetans put their rafts in the river and were about to cross the river.

Liu Wenxiu gave an order, and the soldiers of the Ming army first shot arrows wildly, and then pushed down the boulders prepared in advance from the hillside.

In an instant, the Tibetan formation was in chaos!

Some of the Tibetan soldiers were shot to death, while others fell into the river and were instantly swept away by the river.

Seeing this, Tsering. Dorje shouted in panic: "Withdraw, withdraw!" ”

Although he wanted to withdraw, how could Liu Wenxiu give him a chance!

At this moment, tens of thousands of Ming troops rushed down the cliff and raised their swords to encircle and suppress the Tibetans.

The Tibetan army was in a state of confusion, and had no heart to meet the enemy at all.

Seeing that the army no longer had the heart to fight, Tsering. Dorje stood on his horse and said angrily: "Liu Wenxiu, if I don't set foot in Chengdu and kill all the Han people to take your head, I will not be a man!" ”

Let's talk about it, Tsering. Dorje turned his horse's head and fled from the defeated army in a hurry.

Liu Wenxiu didn't take him seriously at all, after all, fighting a war relies on strategy, not pure force.

Liu Wenxiu slaughtered his horse, and at the end of the war, as many as 120 Tibetans died under his sword.

In this way, under the leadership of Liu Wenxiu, the Ming army won a complete victory and repelled the first Tibetan invasion of Sichuan.

After this battle, Liu Wenxiu directly set up a military base of 5,000 people on the Dadu River.

Then he took the army with me and returned to Chengdu.

After returning to Chengdu, I saw that Liu Wenxiu could indeed take on heavy responsibilities, so I had no worries.

So he left Zhang Zhao in Chengdu to assist him in managing the affairs of Sichuan.

After handling the personnel arrangements in Sichuan, buddy, I am ready to personally lead the army back to Fuzhou, and then the Northern Expedition.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, one of Guan Ning's eighteen horsemen came to Chengdu on horseback and handed me a secret report.

I thought it was some kind of emergency military situation, but when I opened the secret report, I was stunned.

This secret report was not an urgent military situation at all, but a letter from Frost to me.

What's more, in the letter, Frost told me that she was pregnant with my child.

Nima! After knowing the news, buddy, I didn't know what to do for a while.

You know, after crossing over, buddy, I never thought of giving birth to a boy and half a girl to stay in the Ming Dynasty.

And now that Frost is suddenly pregnant with my child, I am surprised and hard to accept.

The reason why I can't accept it is because I am afraid that one day, I will travel back in time.

Once I travel back, the child that Frost gave birth to for me will inevitably be killed, because I am not Chongzhen at all.

But thinking that since Shuang'er is pregnant with my flesh and blood, buddy, I am still quite excited, and I want to return to Fuzhou as soon as possible.

So I threw the more than 40,000 Ming troops I personally led to Xia Wanchun and asked him to follow Li Dingguo and lead the troops to Fuzhou.

And I myself took Mu Xia, escorted by hundreds of guards, and ran to Shuang'er's mother and son in the starry night.

……

After returning to Fuzhou, Shuang'er's stomach was already slightly bulging, and the buddies were so excited that they were about to cry.

Shuang'er was immersed in joy, and didn't mention to me about canonizing her as queen.

But buddy, I didn't break my promise, and the day after I returned, I consulted with the ministers and prepared to canonize her as the queen.

I thought that I, as the emperor, would agree to this after I raised it. Unexpectedly, a group of civil officials stood up against it.

Those civil officials told me that it is not yet known whether Empress Zhou, the original wife of Emperor Chongzhen, is dead or not.

And Shuang'er was born lowly, and she is also the righteous sister of the traitor Wu Sangui, with her status, according to the royal law, she cannot be the master of the harem at all.

I'm about to explode when I hear it, and I don't care if Queen Zhou is dead or not.

For me, Shuang'er is the first woman I have crossed over, if I don't seal her, how can I remember the promise I made when I left Fuzhou.

So I tried my best to disagree with the public and personally issued an edict to canonize Shuang'er as the queen of the Ming Dynasty.

And officially inform the civil and military officials that if I am not in the court, Shuang'er has the right to handle state affairs on my behalf.

Of course, I'm not leaving all the state affairs to Shuang'er, after all, she's just a woman. So I was still by her side, and I installed Shi Kefa, a capable minister who was loyal to me.

……

After canonizing Shuang'er, buddy and I began to work on the Northern Expedition.

Before the Northern Expedition, I analyzed it, according to the current military pattern of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it should only be a matter of time before I want to recover the lost territory and eradicate Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui.

Why?

First of all, I have already taken Taiwan and Sichuan provinces.

As long as these two provinces are firmly in my hands, the imperial court's northern expedition will be in terms of money and grain, and there will be no worries.

Secondly, I took Zhang Xianzhong and surrendered Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Liu Wenxiu, which directly solved the embarrassing situation of the lack of excellent military generals in the Ming army; At the same time, they also harvested 250,000 troops under their command. With these 250,000 troops, it can be said that the dilemma of the lack of troops in the imperial court has been directly solved.

Again, because I signed an agreement with the Manchus, Dolgon led his army to storm Shanhaiguan, which contained Li Zicheng and forced him to recall Wu Sangui and let Wu Sangui stay at Shanhaiguan to defend against the Manchus. Since Li Zicheng's strategic focus was on dealing with the Manchus, he did not have the energy to raise troops south, and at the same time, he did not have the ability to hold many of the cities he had previously occupied in the south.

In such a situation, it is really only a matter of time before I want to go on the Northern Expedition to recover the lost territory and recover the Ming Dynasty.

Although the current situation is good for me, buddy, I have to say that under such a premise, there are still many variables.

And these variables, on the one hand, come from Wu Sangui, and on the other hand, from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Why?

Because I am worried that once the Ming army goes on a northern expedition, Li Zicheng will inevitably be defeated and retreat if he has no strong generals to defend the city in the south.

In such a situation, Li Zicheng may not know what to do, but Wu Sangui can have many choices, because he is not loyal to Li Zicheng at all.

Therefore, Wu Sangui can directly kill Li Zicheng and then establish himself as emperor; At the same time, you can continue to follow Li Zicheng, and then persuade Li Zicheng to negotiate peace with the Manchus, and then go south to oppose me in person.

There is even a possibility that Wu Sangui simply surrendered to the Manchus, opened the Shanhai Pass, and took Dolgon to clear Li Zicheng first, and then go south to compete with me.

In addition to the variable of Wu Sangui, it is also possible that the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not go according to my ideas.

Because I am worried that once I go on a northern expedition, if Li Zicheng's brain is short-circuited, he will come directly with me, and lead his troops south to fight me to the death, then the Manchu Qing will be able to easily break through Shanhaiguan.

Once the Manchus broke through the Shanhai Pass, it would be impossible to get them to stop.

After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had long been eyeing the Central Plains, and Dolgon's subordinates were fierce and powerful, crushing the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of these very likely variables, buddy I was worried, but I didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and I could only pace back and forth in the study with anxiety.

Just when I was at a loss, the door slammed open, and Mu Xia jumped in and ran in.

She slammed my hand back, and said pretending to be serious: "Emperor, have you forgotten what time it is?" ”

If she doesn't say it, buddy, I really forgot, now is the time for me to make an appointment with her to learn martial arts.

But how can I have the heart to practice martial arts now?

So I said, "Don't bother me, I'm still thinking about things now, let's talk about it in the evening!" ”

"Humph! Brother Emperor, haven't you already pacified the thief Zhang Xianzhong, and also surrendered General Li and his three brothers, just waiting for Li Zicheng to become that bastard in the Northern Expedition. What else can there be to be anxious about! ”

I didn't want her to bother me, so I told her to get out and let me think about how to deal with it.

As a result, when I finished speaking, not only did she not go out, but sat down and looked at me stupidly with her head crooked.

Seeing this, my buddy was speechless with anger, and I was about to leave the study.

Just as I was about to walk out of the study, she grabbed me and said, "Brother Emperor, I have a good way, this way can not only make Wu Sangui not surrender to the Manchus, but also make the Manchus obediently listen to the words of the emperor's brother!" ”
