Chapter 557: Fighting against the rebels together, the trend of the times

"Brother Wang, I was originally an official and a soldier, and I couldn't fight with you, and there was a conflict a few days ago, but now I have to put aside my personal hatred and say a fair word here."

"The King of Qi is broad-minded, the King of Qi is civil and martial, no one in the world can match, if the Wang brothers are obedient, the King of Qi will definitely reuse it, establish a new dynasty another day, and wait for the general, it is not impossible."

No one who received these words expected that it was actually Chen Yongfu, the former Henan chief soldier of the imperial court who was played by Wang Dong a few days ago, Wang Dong looked at it in wonder, but he really didn't expect it to be this person.

Just as he racked his brains to know what this guy's idea was, he listened to Chen Yongfu's continued bitter persuasion:

"Today, the king of Qi has accounted for six, my Qi army is strong and strong, the generals are like clouds, the soldiers are not afraid of death, there are nearly 1,000 clerks in the staff office, all of them have real talents, and no one can beat it!"

"The general trend is over, Brother Wang, I will abandon my previous suspicions and have a heart-to-heart relationship with you, because you have some talents, why bother to follow Li Zicheng to die?"

It was just a matter of conversation, but the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing, and it became clear and clear as the sun gradually rose.

The number of the Chuang army and the Qi army is comparable, and it stands to reason that even if the two sides are not evenly matched, the Chuang army will not be defeated so quickly, and it should be possible to fight and retreat.

However, in the face of the fierce offensive of the Qi army, they could not resist it at all, and they were quickly routed with just a charge, and now they were irrepressibly scattered back to the pass.

Wang Dong could never have imagined that his originally confident night attack would now become a godsend opportunity for the other party to win the level.

Most of the people in the hands of the Qi army had never seen the weapon in their hands, the pointed tip was like a spear, and the length alone was longer than the long spear of the guard in the hands of most of the intruders.

In addition, the side of this weapon is also equipped with a small axe, if the opponent's armor is light and thin, even if it is not deliberately chopped, it will unconsciously scrape on the person's body will bring out a piece of flesh and blood, and the damage is very high.

This kind of axe and gun was used by the Qi army in the battle of Hetuara a few years ago, when the general Xingjing stationed in the city led the Qing army out of the city to block it but was killed by the Qi army, and the rest fled.

In fact, long before Wang Zheng popularized the whole army, axes and guns had gradually replaced spears and spears in the West a few decades ago and became the standard weapons of the new army, which was just a measure to keep up with the times.

After all, today's warfare, although it is still dominated by close combat, is already moving towards modernization, and it is no longer as brainless as the gangsters and Manchu chaotic group charges.

The barbarians are retiring from the stage of history, and the truly wise commanders will follow the trend of the firearms age, equip the most advanced weapons to the front-line army, and repel the attacks of the barbarians with an invulnerable formation, or even annihilate them.

At present, due to time reasons, the Henan army led by Liu Guoneng has not yet been equipped with the most modern suifa pistol, and still uses large-scale arquebuses, which is very inconvenient.

The forbidden army, which was personally led by Wang Zheng, set out from Nanjing, had already worked overtime to produce and equip the world's most advanced firearms on the basis of a large number of drawings and books of weapons and equipment seized in Anping.

The artillery of the firearms battalion of the forbidden army has also been equipped with a crosshair and a light gate, and the cavalry battalion has added a new branch of musketeers, which will definitely meet the Manchu army head-on.

Although what Chen Yongfu said was more or less exaggerated, Wang Dong knew in his heart that the king of Qi who was in charge of the state in Nanjing not only occupied the name of orthodoxy, but the combat power of the Qi army under his command was really not low.

Some time ago, Gao Jie, the former commander-in-chief of the Ming court, suddenly started an incident in the Xiangyang area of Huguang, saying that he was responding to the call of the Lu Jianguo court in Nanjing to kill the Dashun rebels, and for a time he received a positive response from Huguang.

Originally, Gao Jie was one of the several major generals in the decisive battle between Tongguan and Dashun, and the front was defeated like a mountain, and he didn't look back until Jiangnan before stopping, who would have thought that such a role of a water dog could also get the support of today's King Qi and make a comeback.

Originally, Dashun had already occupied most of Huguang and simply established local power, but after Gao Jie's uprising, he was under the banner of the orthodox court of Nanjing Lu Jianguo.

After Gao Jie rebelled in Xiangyang Mansion, Zuo Guang, a former subordinate of Sun Chuanting and a general of the Qin army, first rose up in Changsha.

The incident was followed by Chen Yongfu's friend, Xu Chenghu, the former chief soldier of the Ming court, who was named the general of the Huangzhou system by Li Zicheng, who claimed to crusade against Dashun in Huangzhou and regarded the court of the Lu Jianguo as orthodox.

Dong Zhengxian, the former general of Jingzhou, was named a general by Li Zicheng, and Zuo Guangxian were friends of Mo Zhixian, and after hearing that the king of Qi led the Qi army to unify the south of the Yangtze River and respected the king of Lu, he immediately killed the envoy of the Jingzhou festival and a cadre of officials, and announced that he would return to the court of the Lu Jianguo in Nanjing.

More than 120 generals from all parts of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, including former Yongzhou general Neng Xiang, Jingzhou guerrilla Zhao Zhengwu, and Shi Zhouwei commander Cheng Shan'ao, successively announced their submission to the court of Lu Jianguo in Nanjing within a few days.

The generals of the Ming army who had originally surrendered to Dashun in various places defected one after another, counting the gentry and heroes who had been planning for a long time, Huguang soon became a scene of changing flags, just like the situation when Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, led his army south.

For a time, the civil and military advocated the Fengtian Generalissimo Wang Zheng's article on the thief to spread all over the world, every word was beautiful, sonorous and powerful, and even Yungui Tusi had many forces loyal to the imperial court responded positively.

Dashun is collapsing at a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to detect, and even there are some changes in Shaanxi, although it was soon pacified by Li Zicheng's guards left in Xi'an, but these things show a truth.

Wang Dong is not a fool, he understands that many people who belong to Dashun are people who watch the wind and steer the rudder, and at the slightest move, they immediately defected to the Nanjing court.

Historically, the Qing army entered the customs as well, and it was actually the peasant army that had been originally fighting to the end, and now the Nanjing Lu Jian State Imperial Court occupies the name of Chinese orthodoxy, and it is in full swing, and most people will not hesitate a few times at all.

But now there is a collapse in front of the sky, and there are Xiao Yuanying and others in the back, and even many generals of the peasant army are a little ready to move, feeling that Li Zicheng no longer looks like a person who can achieve great things, and Wang Dong is one of them.

At first, he followed Li Zicheng completely because he was the only candidate who could succeed King Chuang after Gao Yingxiang, and he performed well among the leaders, but now, Li Zicheng has become more and more disappointed.

It can be said that Li Zicheng has never won a victory in many battles with Wang Zheng, and he has been beaten to the head and bloodied every time in Kaifeng, and he has been defeated in the Battle of Guide, and gradually lost the entire Henan.

I heard that after entering Beijing, Li Zicheng was torture and plundered again, making Beizhili restless.

Originally, when Dashun was mentioned in the Central Plains, everyone would give a thumbs up, sing the ballad of welcoming the king, and compete to set off firecrackers to welcome.

But now in less than two months, the Dashun army has lost the support of the people and has become a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats him, which is not at all what a monarch who established a new dynasty should do.

Wang Zheng even just issued an article in Nanjing, making Dashun a traitor who killed the monarch and the rebel in the joint crusade of the army and the people of the world.

No one will be unable to get along with the general trend, not to mention that the Qi army is not a Qing captive, Wang Dong can't find any name for participating in the righteous army, he threw down the waist knife in his hand that had been opened, and sighed:

"Stop fighting, let's come down."
