Chapter 41: Hot Potato

July of the sixth year of Chongzhen.

The Shaanxi rebel army went south to Henan for the second time, attacked Yiyang, the county magistrate, the lord Bo died in battle, the people in the city did not exist, and Yiyang became an empty city.

Later, he went south from Ruzhou to Nanyang, and then divided his troops to attack Sichuan and Huguang.

These rebels have been away from home for a long time, and they are homesick.

However, the homesickness among the anti-army could hardly change the strategic vision of several leaders, Shaanxi was plagued by floods, and the rescued land was barren, the land was dry and cracked in the summer, and the frozen corpses were everywhere in the winter.

In addition, the people have all been coerced out by the anti-army, and the villagers do not exist.

Shaanxi is not a suitable place for the survival of the anti-army.

There is no food there, and there is a murderous demon hoarded in Suide, Shaanxi, that is Hong Chengchou, the governor of Suide.

When Hong Chengchou was in charge of Yang He's care, he left a deep impression on the rebels.

This person is very strategic, and has forced the rebels into a desperate situation several times, and this person also has a big hobby, that is, killing good and risking merit.

Although the rebels rebelled, they were not people who forgot their ancestors, and those who rebelled against the army were forced to be helpless, but those who stayed were also related to their relatives, and I didn't kill the Borenbo people because of me.

How to bear it, but at that time, the Ming army was strong, and Hong Chengchou dominated Shaanxi alone, and the rebels had no choice but to leave their hometowns in order to kill God and not kill innocents.

But in any case, Hong Chengchou left a deep trace in the hearts of the anti-army.

Therefore, in Shaanxi, the anti-army really wanted to go back but did not dare to go back.

When I went back, the general trend that I had finally created was extinguished by a basin of cold water from the Ming court.

So Fan Jun chose to go south and go to a more affluent place.

Perhaps that's where the rebels take root and grow into towering trees.

July.

Zhang Xiahai led the new army to the south of Shanxi with the Han Division.

In the era of the Han Dynasty, he was nomadic in the steppe.

But apparently in the face of an invincible enemy, in order to preserve the bloodline of the race, it has to change with the situation.

Moving to Shanxi became their only option.

Shanxi Tangxidong, at least, has no hostility and prejudice towards them.

But apparently these people are far from imagining what will happen many years from now.

As for the great integration of peoples, it was only after hundreds of years, when the whole world began to rush towards a new human history, that the phenomenon of a large nation appeared.

Of course, what Tang Xidong wanted was to integrate a small number of Mongols with the Han Chinese and use them for my own use.

But apparently the hospitable Mongols at this time were not aware of this.

What they know now is that the Later Jin Dolgon Marshal encircled and suppressed the Han tribe with heavy troops, which was actually not related to the east of Tangxi in Shanxi, but the other party sent a large army north to the grassland to support them, even if it was a loss of tens of thousands of Han people.

This is the biggest and deepest feeling for the Mongols.

In such a big era at this time, the Mongols obviously did not expect much to come.

The war between Zhang Xiahai and Dolgon.

In the eyes of later generations, it is obvious that it must end in failure, and the Ming Dynasty, which is the power of the whole country, ends in failure, not to mention the power of a province?

In history, the Ming Dynasty finally came to an end, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty notified China for more than 200 years, ending with the expulsion of the Tatars and the restoration of China.

It is a joke that a person wants to save a nation, but it is a dream that a person wants to save a nation.

Striving for his dream is Tang Xidong's biggest dream in addition to living and living well.

The glory of the Han people is not to be denigrated!

July 32.

The Hetao is more than 100 miles closer to the head.

It has been the richest place in the northwest of the Han people since ancient times.

But apparently after the Tang Dynasty, no Han Chinese were able to live here.

this day.

Thirty thousand Han Chinese.

After the match, Jin rode more than 10,000 horses.

The big war is about to start, and the wind is full of rumors.

30,000 Han'er against more than 10,000 Houjin.

The Mongols could only hide behind the Han Chinese and wait for a faint hope: that is, the Han were defeated and brought back to Shanxi.

After the golden cavalry, the figure has not arrived, and the sound of horses' hooves is like thunder, which breaks people's hearts.

Zhang Xiahai resisted it with a car formation.

At noon.

The cavalry is five miles, and the grassland is wilderness, which is clear at a glance.

Cavalry charged, firing rockets to set the chariot on fire.

This is a war between countries, Zhang Xiahai knows that this is a war between clans, and the soldiers know it.

After the force of the cavalry impact, galloped forward, shot it with rockets, and ignited the chariot formation.

The new army gritted its teeth and resisted, erecting shields to block rockets, attacking cavalry from a distance with artillery, and firing fiercely with flintlock muskets.

Blocking cavalry and a hundred meters away.

Dolgon's men had a deep plan, and the cavalry could not break through, so they came in a roundabout way.

The cavalry was scattered, and Zhang Xiahai was in a dilemma, blocking it with cannonballs, wasting gunpowder, and not firing artillery shells.

Zhang Xiahai thought to himself, at this time, if the other party was in the right direction, the opponent's cavalry was full of power, and the car formation could only wait for the rabbit, but the other party had obviously decided not to repeat the mistakes of the past after experiencing the battle of Shanxi.

Zhang Xiahai gritted his teeth, and as the lord saw, the jade seal of the country should be in his hands, and Dolgon would also be hit hard.

Zhang Xiahai smiled bitterly, he really couldn't imagine how the lord led 15,000 new troops north to Taiyuan Mansion to block the Houjin 10,000 rebels.

But all that is thought is clearly empty at the moment.

Zhang Xiahai was thinking about how to resist the Houjin cavalry in front of him.

After thinking left and right.

Look at the artillery battalion in front of you.

Zhang Xiahai's eyes suddenly lit up.

He knew that Houjin had been casting cannons since last year.

From this point, it can be shown that Houjin has begun to attach importance to firearms.

At least in the lord's explanation, the old pig Pinurhachi died under the bombardment of live [artillery].

Night.

The camp was quiet.

After Jin, Dolgon led his troops to steal the camp.

Zhang Xiahai withdrew his people outside the tent, and the battalion ambushed mines and homemade grenades.

Later, the Jin cavalry stole into the camp.

The fire was lit first, and when the wind was blowing, flammable materials piled up on the edge of the camp.

Houjin cavalry raided into the camp and plundered, when the explosions were repeated, the fire was monstrous, and the screams were repeated, and more than 10,000 Houjin cavalry fell into the figure.

Then Zhang Xiahai led a large army of musket teams to shoot from the periphery of the self-camp.

In a one-night battle, Zhang Xiahai did not dare to chase until dawn.

The camp was scorched, and Houjin suffered countless casualties.

Dolgon fled the camp with the remnants of his cavalry, leaving only the remnants behind.

So far.

More than 30,000 people in Zhang Xiahai's hands were killed and wounded 500, and these 500 people were all injured when Houjin detoured and fired the ignite from a distance.

Houjin suffered as many as 7,000 dead and wounded, and fled 5,000, including Dorgon.

After 5,000 years, he once again saw the strength of the Shanxi New Army.

Although Dolgon had the intention of seizing the jade seal, he suffered heavy casualties and was unable to return for it.

As a result, the dispute over the jade seal of the country that occurred in the Hetao area has since come to an end.

The jade seal of the country fell into the hands of Tang Xidong.

At the same time, it aroused the deep hatred of Hou Jin Gengqian.

At the end of July, Zhang Xiahai led his own troops into Pingyang.

The carefully cared for jade seal was personally handed over to Tang Xidong.

After 30,000 new troops fought diligently and hard, they had to pass on the jade seal of the country.

But for the side in front of a tourmaline.

When Tang Xidong received it, he suddenly felt bored.

He didn't know whether it was true or not, and he didn't see anything unusual about it.

He only knew that in the later generations when he was alive, there was no imperial power and no heirloom jade seal.

waited for it to be in his hands, and Tang Xidong began to feel that this was a hot potato.

It's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless!

But, at least, it didn't fall into the hands of Houjin!
