Chapter 343 The State Celebrates Father's Father, Looking South and Looking North
In the years when Nurhachi first raised his army, the entire Jurchen tribe was still a complete military group, everything existed for war and plunder, the structure was lean, and the movements were fast, although it may not be the right direction, but it was always full of motivation.
However, today, under the unified governance of Huang Taiji, the Manchurian Jurchens outside the Guanguan slowly formed a group similar to a normal state, and the newly established Qing State really had the shell of a state, and the civil and military affairs were gradually formalized.
Of course, with the continuous expansion of the country, the increasing number of slaves, and the pro-noble generals have been fighting horses for decades, and finally have the capital to enjoy when they are old, naturally, some inert things have begun to appear. In the prince's palace of Prince Dolgon, there were two troupes sent by merchants from the Ming Dynasty, and every once in a while, Duoduo and Azig and the relatives of the two white flags gathered together to watch the play and drink the banquet, according to rumors, these people like to imitate the Han Dynasty when they get together, wearing long robes and silk robes, wearing square scarves, and stepping on court boots, rather than arrow clothes and breeches and warm hat riding boots.
Liaodong bitter cold, life is difficult, men originally like the things in the cup, now in Shengjing, drinking and feasting has become the norm, at the same time the extravagant atmosphere has gradually spread, many nobles still like the Han people of the Southern Dynasties, eat those fine and expensive food, no longer want to live the kind of life in the field with a few catties of fried rice for half a month. However, Dolgon, the noble prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was different from them, but he acted quite measuredly.
Since Huang Taiji returned from Songshan, Concubine Chen died of illness, and his health deteriorated, Dolgon never listened to a play in the mansion again. also stopped feasting and playing, and every day when he went to the court and retreated, he went to say hello very respectfully. Care for Huang Taiji's condition.
For Dolgon's performance, the princes and nobles of the Eight Banners, the Han people of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Sanshun King System all praised in unison, and Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan even wrote articles to praise them.
For a time, the reputation of the first virtuous king of the Qing Dynasty spread all over Guanwai and Mongolia, but Dolgon, the prince of Rui, was still low-key and abnormal. Whoever says this "first virtuous king" to his face. He must have been reprimanded, and it is said that Dodor was whipped a few times by him.
Before Huang Taiji didn't get sick, Dolgon's status in the Qing State was already similar to that of Da Mingfu, with a lot of power and affairs in his hands, but after he got sick, he handed over these positions to other banners to manage, and the more humble and low-key, he just started to do so. Duoduo and Azig are full of resentment, saying that our two white flags have been angry for so many years, and it is not easy to live a good life. This has to be handed back again, why.
However, after the three brothers had a private banquet in the mansion, Duoduo and Azig didn't have anything to say, and even Duoduo, who had always been misbehaving in the city, was much more restrained.
The battle for the throne after the death of the Great Khan and the death of the concubine Abahai have always been the bones in the throats of everyone, and the big men of the two yellow flags and the two red flags were very vigilant against the two white flags after the emperor Taiji fell ill, for fear that the three brothers would have the idea of revenge. But the three Dolgon brothers were so reserved and modest. It's a big surprise, but it's not good to do anything against them.
Before Huang Taiji became seriously ill. After Huang Taiji became seriously ill, Dolgon's performance was appreciated by everyone, and his reputation grew.
Prince Li Daishan has always been known for his humility, and has always been the glue and lubricant in the clan, and among Nurhachi's sons, he has the closest relationship with Huang Taijidi, and it was because of his unwavering support that Huang Taiji's leadership was established. He remained silent about the growing prestige of Dolgon, but those who were interested noticed that he had visited the palace quite a few times, and that he had gone too many times compared to common sense.
"Your Majesty, count the time, Abatai should arrive today."
Shengjing in mid-April, has been a little warm, but Huang Taiji is weak, in the dormitory is still burning the fire wall fire kang, Dai Shan is still sitting on the round bench next to the fire kang like last time, there are only two of them in this room, the eunuchs who serve and the guards on duty are driven away, which is also only Dai Shan's old brother can enjoy the grace of the earth. ===
Huang Taiji's complexion is good, not as sallow as a few days ago, slowly his face has a bloody color, his body robes and clothes are neatly dressed, reclining on the kang cabinet, he is usually an extremely reserved person in his bones, he doesn't want others to see his powerlessness when he moves and sleeps, that is, he can let go in front of his old brother, so he will sit really lazily, if he is in front of others, even if he is lazy, in fact, he wants everyone to know that everything is under control, and relax, which shows his confidence and strength. When he heard Dai Shan's words, he nodded and asked in a low voice:
"Last time, the news from Shanxi said that the south was going to start a big fight, is there any new news in the past few days?"
Prince Dai Shan sat there and shook his head, and after being silent for a while, Dai Shan hesitated and said:
"Your Majesty, the two white flags are silent, and they look very deferential, but I'm still not at ease, you know, the dog that bites people doesn't bark. Gotta think of a way to make Dolgon think less, or you'll be ...... now."
Of course, this unfinished meaning refers to Huang Taiji's death, of course, this kind of thing cannot be said explicitly by his subordinates, that is, Dai Shan's identity is special, so he speaks a little more proportionately. Although everyone says that the emperor is eternal, looking at the appearance of Huang Taiji, everyone knows that it will not last too long.
The expression on Huang Taiji's face did not change, but the nostrils were uncontrollably left with two bloods, this state is not strange to everyone, Huang Taiji himself picked up a handkerchief at hand, covered his mouth and nose, and said in a muffled voice:
"The two white flags are doing well, and the group has become more and more in recent years, if Dolgon is moved, those who participate in the two white flags and support leaders will definitely make trouble......"
While speaking, Dai Shan could see that the towel on Huang Taiji's hand turned red, Huang Taiji stopped talking, and quickly changed a hand towel to see this scene. Dai Shan only felt a sour nose, and hurriedly lowered his head to control his emotions. Huang Taiji changed his hand towel and continued slowly:
"Our Manchurian Jurchens are just such a few people, they can't afford to lose, the Han people in the south are now out of soldiers and energy, but if they recover, their soldiers, horses, money, food, and weapons are inexhaustible, and this small place outside the gate is cold and snowy. I can't hold it up anyway...... We in Manchuria can't fight on our own. It is necessary to use all the strength on the Han people, lay down the Ming Dynasty, the place is bigger, the population is larger, and the Eight Banners are divided by themselves, so there is no need to make trouble. ”
Saying these words, Huang Taijidi's nosebleed gradually stopped, and his spirit seemed to have risen a little, and Dai Shan sighed. Continue to say in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, that's what you said, but it's not a long-term solution. That Dolgon has been respectful for so many years, but he must have hatred in his heart, if you ......, I'm afraid that if we don't move a few flags, he will move, and when the time comes, two yellow flags and two red flags? ”
Speaking of this, Huang Taiji's nosebleed couldn't stop flowing. His problem is that he can't move. The slightest sharp fluctuation in mood begins to cause nosebleeds. After the shaman invited the gods, it was useless, so he invited the old man of the Han people to see it, saying that when he was young, he injured his body by fighting everywhere, and his qi and blood could not be stabilized.
"Of course Dolgon hated in his heart, it was I who forced his mother to be martyred for his father Khan, do you think that Zilharang really didn't want anything, his father Khan killed his father, I killed his brother, his father and his brother confessed to his sins and was imprisoned in order to protect him, what do you think he thinks in his heart...... They are all wolf cubs, uncooked, as long as you turn around, slack off, they will bite you
In the years before Nurhachi's death, the most favored was Dorgon, who was also the heir to the throne of the Khan, and the two white flags led by Nurhachi were also handed over to the Dolgon and Duoduo brothers to inherit.
And Dolgon's mother, the eldest concubine Abahai, has a noble status, and the Jurchen inheritance pays attention to the importance of the son and the mother, at that time, most of Nurhachi's other sons and mothers were powerless, no matter how you look at it, Dolgon's hope is the greatest, but Huang Taiji and Daishan united, forced Abahai to give Nurhachi a funeral, and ascended to the throne with the support of two yellow flags and two red flags and blue flags, and later ascended the throne as emperor.
Dolgon has always been deeply wary of Huang Taiji, but Huang Taiji is a once-in-a-millennium monarch among the barbarians, and his eloquence is naturally not afraid of Dolgon's overturning, and Dolgon himself is also cautious, and he is indeed smart, and he is also a rare talent among the Manchu Jurchens, which makes him climb up step by step.
But in this process, Huang Taiji has been suppressing the power of splitting the positive white flag and the inlaid white flag, and the Duoduo and Azig born to Dorgon's mother have not been able to get the promotion they deserve, and they have been punished by him for some trivial things at every turn, punishing half a cow record today, and punishing a cow record tomorrow, thinking about slowly cutting off their wings.
However, in recent years, the older generation of people have gradually withered, Dolgon's position in the Manchu political circle has become more and more important, out of the general, authoritarian day by day, has been dismantled and the two white flag forces have been integrated by him, Duoduo and Azig are also climbing step by step, but this Dolgon has repeatedly made great contributions, and he is very high in the prestige of the Eight Banners, and he is cautious, never making mistakes, both sides are already in such a position, and Huang Taiji cannot punish the other party without making mistakes.
What's more, this Dorgon is already full of wings and cannot be easily touched.
As for the banner owner of the blue flag, Prince Zheng Jierharang, he stood on the side of Huang Taiji in all major events, but Jilharang's father Shuerhaqi was Nurhachi's younger brother, but he was nailed in a wooden box by Nurhachi, and his feces were piled up in it, and he was killed alive.
Zilharang's brother Amin was also imprisoned and died by Huang Taiji on charges of domineering and dissent, which was better than his father's, and he was locked up in a room and not allowed to leave
His biological father and brother died at the hands of Huang Taiji, how could this Prince Zheng Jierharang be indifferent in his heart, but Huang Taiji and Dai Shan are unbreakable alliances, the power of the two yellow flags and the two red flags, a total of four flags, plus the strength of the Han military banner and the power of the king of Sanshun and the prince of Xushun, far surpasses him, and he has no choice but to be obedient.
Over the years, Dolgon presided over the affairs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was humble and intelligent, and the Han Eight Banners had more and more contact with the Sanshun King and the Duke of Xushun, coupled with the identity of his mother Abahai, the Mongolian tribes such as Horqin, Chahar, and Duoyan were also extremely close to him, and the contrast of power was gradually narrowed.
Now that Dai Shan is quite old, if he kicks his legs when the time comes. The two red flags still have to make some housework themselves, and Huang Taiji's body is like this now, and the local forces of Huang Taiji and Dai Shan want to suppress Dolgon. It's not very safe anymore, seeing that Huang Taiji's body is not as good as day by day, and time is getting more and more urgent, Dai Shan is asking Huang Taiji to take an idea.
The nosebleed stopped, but Huang Taiji's face became a little pale, and his steady breathing became a little heavy, and he said in half a voice:
"Hauge, this kid has a soft temperament. The blue flag can't be suppressed. Even the two yellow flags are not convinced by him, if I am not there, he can't suppress the scene, but I don't want to do anything to Dolgon, Manchuria can't be chaotic, we started from our ancestors, how many years have we survived in this cold place, and now I think that the destiny of heaven is in our Qing Dynasty, and the strength of our Manchurian warriors cannot be lost at all. Twist into a rope to deal with the Han Chinese. ”
Dai Shan stopped making a sound, he looked at the weak Huang Taiji, and his heart was mixed. After Chu Ying was deposed, Dai Shan was the eldest son, and he had always been a meritorious son, and he also had the opportunity to inherit the throne at that time, but he was willing to assist Huang Taiji, because he admired this younger brother and felt that the Manchurian Jurchens would have a bright future under the leadership of Huang Taiji. Today's dialogue has reinforced this view, but the situation in the future is really dangerous. You can't do it without thinking about it. Huang Taiji suddenly changed the subject. Spoken:
"I did something wrong, I shouldn't have sent Dorgon into the customs two years ago. Not only has the population of his land increased a lot, but his prestige has also risen greatly, alas......"
Hearing these words, Dai Shan also sighed, when Huang Taiji was in good health at that time, who would have thought that there would be today's situation.
At this moment, I heard a loud message from a guard outside:
"Dororao Belleabatai, I am ordered to meet you!!"
Huang Taiji sat up straight with his arms propped up on himself, and said to Dai Shan:
"Second brother, pass him in!"
Speaking of which, there in Henan, Jia Dashan is also in a hurry, when he arrives in Jining Prefecture, people are tired and not look good, he is still in the prime of life, this Abatai is in his fifties and nearly sixty years old, and the distance is longer than Jia Dashan, and he is also changing horses in a hurry, and he doesn't stop at all.
There is indeed a gap in fighting quality between the farming peoples who have been in peace for a long time and the fishing and hunting peoples who have always been captives and invaders, and this contrast can be overpowered either by advanced technology or better organization. But the current Ming Dynasty does not have the slightest advantage at all: artillery and weapon craftsmen have been taken by Kong Youde to many outside the customs; As for the organization, the Manchu Eight Banners were obviously more effective than the current scattered Ming court.
Abatai entered the house, and when he saw the weakened Emperor Taiji on the fire kang and the Prince Daishan sitting on the side, he hurriedly shook off the horseshoe sleeves, knelt down directly, and said loudly:
"Ministers and Babates respectfully ask St. Ann, long live my emperor, long live."
The three knocks and nine bows are all really finished, and after getting up, he turned around and bent down to beat a thousand to Prince Li's Daishan, and said respectfully:
"I've met Prince Li, and I'm greeting you."
Dai Shan nodded, although they are all the sons of Nurhachi, they and the three Dolgon brothers still have a grudge, beware of each other, and they can't talk about any brotherhood for this concubine Abatai, nodding coldly.
Abatai was afraid of himself, the emperor's younger brother, and the elder brother of Prince Li, Daishan, and the emperor asked him to stand up, and Abatai shrank his hands and feet to stand up, retreating to the side, not knowing what to do.
"Seventh brother, I'm sorry for you all these years!"
The room was quiet for a while, cold, but Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the fire, suddenly came out with such a sentence, Huang Taiji is the eighth son of Nurhachi, Abatai is the seventh son, and Daishan is the second son, this sentence "Seventh Brother" is also called.
But when Abatai, who was standing there, heard this, although the room was warm, he shivered violently, took a step back, and looked at Dai Shan's indifferent face, Abatai knelt down again, kowtowing again and again, although the ground was covered with thick fur, but it was still banging.
Abatai wanted to open his mouth to say a few words, but he couldn't say a word, although he was fighting outside and was a fierce general who crawled out of the pile of dead people, but he was frightened by the sudden title of Huang Taiji.
Seeing Abatai's appearance, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Huang Taiji's mouth, and he said slowly:
"Seventh brother. I have been suppressing you all these years, you were resentful back then, and you have complained a lot when I heard that you were outside. ”
Prince Li snorted coldly. Abatai was even more distraught, kowtowed again and again, and hissed:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minister's mouth has always been uncontrollable, and he has been cheap for many years, and he doesn't dare to have any resentment in his heart. I hope Your Majesty will see it. The minister has always been loyal, loyal......"
"Brother Seven, don't be afraid, stand up and speak!"
Huang Taiji still said with a smile, but Abatai kowtowed his head and didn't hear it, Prince Dai Shan couldn't look at it, and said coldly, "The emperor asked you to stand up!" ", after Abatai heard it. Shocked and frightened, he had to stand up tremblingly.
"Seventh brother, I have seen all the credit for all these years. Thinking about the past few years, I was really harsh on you......"
"Your Majesty's words are serious, what Your Majesty does, it is for the good of our Qing Dynasty, the ministers will never dare to complain, every word is the truth, if there is half a lie, the sky will thunder."
Abatai stood up though. Bow your head and hunch over there. was already scared to death, and Huang Taiji always had a gentle smile on his face. The nosebleed also did not flow, where the warm voice sounded:
"This time I hurriedly transferred you back from Xingshan, there is an errand to be sent to you, the last time Dolgon came back from the Guannei, most of the people and livestock brought back were divided into two white flags, and the other flags that sent troops did not get any benefits, and our Manchurian year in the past two years was not good, I pondered, arranged for you to lead the people and horses to the Guannai, and then brought back some things, and subsidized it."
Huang Taiji's voice was very low, but Abatai suddenly raised his head, and he didn't care about any etiquette and etiquette, for the nobles of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, going to the customs was like hunting, there was no risk at all, but the harvest was a large number of slaves, livestock, gold and silver, and there were many benefits.
And whoever went to Guannai once, after returning to Manchuria, was a great reputation, considered to be a handsome hero, the pillar of the Qing Dynasty, at present, that is, the Dolgon brothers had this opportunity, as a result, the two white flags are now the richest among the eight banners, many of the leaders have hundreds of Han people in the family, and there are a few Han servants in general, and the staff leaders often wear satin clothes, carrying Hanyu's snuff box to swagger through the market, making everyone else greedy.
Among the Eight Banners, Dorobelle and the nobles above all wanted to take troops to the Ming Dynasty in the Guannai, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty's own soldiers and horses also needed to recuperate.
After a year of recuperation, some princes and Baylor began to prepare for activities, and Abatai, as a general, had followed him into the customs twice, and made some money in it and made some contributions.
However, for this matter of leading troops alone, I never thought about what my identity was? It's just a small Baylor, there are so many princes and county kings in front, and there are Huang Taiji's own biological sons lined up in front, and they can't be ranked here in terms of grade and intimacy. But today's such a good thing, through Huang Taiji's own mouth, actually fell on his own land, this is really the sun coming out of the west, as soon as he entered the house, he was worried about the current state of mind, which is unacceptable.
Seeing Abatai looking up at himself dumbfounded, Dai Shan frowned, thinking that he was already in his fifties, but he had no city bearing, but Huang Taiji was still smiling, at this time he was in a good state, and the nosebleed had not flowed, indicating that his mentality was very stable and peaceful.
"Haoge's kid is frizzy, the Zhenglan Banner has always been badly managed, when Seventh Brother you come back from Daming this time, I will discuss with the banner owners of each banner and raise you to be the owner of the Zhenglan Banner, after all, our brothers are about the same age, and they are also intimate."
At present, it is the emperor Taiji who personally leads the two yellow flags, and his son Haoge is in charge of the blue flag, and the family leads the three flags, and the authority of the emperor always comes from the advantage of strength. Abatai is also a person who hangs under the banner of Zhenglan, and sometimes he complains, saying that he is an uncle who is actually managed by his nephew, where is the system.
But this complaint is to complain with his family, and even if anyone is louder, he will be so frightened that he quickly covers his mouth, Huang Taiji is the emperor. Dare to fight with him there, just think about it in your heart, especially Huang Taiji's thunderous methods. has long frightened the nobles of the Eight Banners, what kind of heroes are Amin and Mang Gultai, and what will be the final ending? Not to mention the small Baylor of sesame mung beans.
Unexpectedly, today, good things seemed to rain over, first let himself lead the army into the customs, send a great fame and wealth, and then let him hold the blue flag. Go to Kannai once. It is almost certain that it is a great achievement, and according to Huang Taiji's promise, it is almost a sure thing to come back to the position of the Lord of the Blue Flag.
Sitting on this flag master, it is also possible to be a prince, thinking about what Huang Taiji said when he entered this palace, Abatai was suddenly full of emotion, and unconsciously knelt on the ground again, burst into tears, choked up and said:
"Your Majesty. The emperor's great kindness to the minister, the minister does not know, and the minister must be ......"
Kowtow this time. But not for fear, but for gratitude, Abatai was already choked up and unable to say a word, and he was really excited.
"The soldiers and horses who went out of the customs this time, two white flags came out of thirty percent, and the rest of the soldiers and horses made up a few flags, and the number of soldiers and horses last time was the same, so it should be certain." After saying this. Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief. Again:
"Seventh brother, go back and rest today. Tomorrow I will make an order here, and you can start to prepare for the deployment of troops! ”
Abatai kowtowed a few more times, stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, and Xie was just about to go out, when Huang Taiji opened his mouth to stop him again, and raised his voice slightly and said:
"Sprinkle the red, sprinkle the red...... black"
A eunuch trotted in from outside the door, and Huang Taiji spoke:
"Go and bring the Zheng family two Franc machine short fire guns."
The eunuch trotted out again, and Huang Taiji said with a smile:
"It's a Western thing, when the Zheng family came to contact me last year, the gifts given to Prince Rui also have two on the palace, I keep them here useless, if you want to go into battle to kill the enemy, you always have to have some self-defense things, and it is also useful to take them."
Not long after, the two firecrackers were brought over, these short firecrackers as gifts were extremely exquisite, shining, carved with intricate patterns, the handles and other places were mostly made of gold and silver, and also inlaid with precious stones, which were worth a lot of money.
Seeing that Huang Taiji was already a little tired, Abatai hurriedly thanked him and retired, and went to prepare without mentioning it.
Abatai left, but Prince Li Daishan was still in the house, watching him go out, the eunuch lowered the curtain, Prince Li Daishan waited for Huang Taiji to recover slightly, and then asked in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, for such a thing as entering the customs and hunting, you can let Haoge go, there is really no one...... Yue Tuo can also be regarded as loyal and reliable. ”
Hearing this, Huang Taiji immediately laughed, Yue Tuo is the son of Dai Shan, and people are really selfish, but this Haoge, as soon as he thought of this son who was recognized as the heir, Huang Taiji's nose was hot, and the blood flowed down again, he reached out and covered his nose with a clean towel, and said in a muffled voice:
"The two yellow flags are fundamental, Hauge is not in the name of the blue flag, he has always been bad, let him stay in the two yellow flags, manage it well, the blue flag is over there, and then push out our people to manage, I'm afraid that other people will make trouble, this Abatai has no foundation, he is the person of the blue flag, it is just right to launch it, Dolgon has always looked down on him, who else can he rely on except us, the two yellow flags here, there is a worship, I can rest assured."
The Manchu Jurchens, although they were all citizens of the Qing Dynasty, their predecessors were the Jianzhou Jurchens who continued to annex various ministries to have the current scale, and there were quite a lot of remnants of the annexed Yehe, Ula and other departments, and they could not be completely integrated under the control of the Later Jin and Qing States.
In order to govern and operate more efficiently, Nurhachi created a system of eight banners, each banner, with a slight shadow of the various tribes in the past, is not a harmonious situation between you and me.
And Nurhachi's Jianzhou Jurchen himself is not monolithic, Nurhachi circled and killed his younger brother Shuerhaqi, and Huang Taiji banned Amin, needless to say. Now the power of the Eight Banners is expanding, the original balance is slowly broken, and they are wary of each other and hostile to each other, which is all due to the internal contradictions of the Jianzhou Jurchens back then, as well as the contradictions between the Jianzhou Jurchens and Yehe, Ula and other departments, as well as the game of the matriarchal power behind Nurhachi's heirs.
As for the brothers, they all have the blood of Nurhachi among themselves, and they are brothers to each other, and some of them are brothers of the same father and mother. Then who will pay attention to it, who still cares about the family affection of the emperor's family, and the current banner owners. They are all the leaders and spokespersons of their own banners.
Huang Taiji didn't expect his body to collapse so quickly, and the Dolgon faction rose so quickly, and in desperation, he could only pull one faction to fight another.
"Haoge's two yellow flags, second brother, your two red flags, when the time comes, Abatai will be in charge of the blue flag, and Zilharang has always looked at the style, and he will definitely stand on our side when the time comes. Hold Dolgon down steadily. I think it can be maintained. ”
After a busy day, Huang Taiji was also a little tired......
After Li and Luo joined forces in Henan Province into the territory of Kaifeng Mansion, the army swept all the way to the south, and the prefectures and counties along the way were defeated, in mid-April, the army of the displaced people was already stationed in the Linying area, which was a node, and most of the Ming army fought in Zhuxian Town in the north, and went south along the Yingshui into the south Zhili.
The place where the army of displaced people is stationed is crucial. He was stationed here, and the Ming army on the side of Zhuxian Town had no other movement except for holding on.
And in the soldiers and horses of Nanzhili. It was all panicked, and the news here was well-informed, Zhang Xianzhong was in Yingshang, the fifth battalion of the left was in Huoqiu, and the forbidden army led by Lu Jiude, the eunuch of Nanjing, was holding on to 20,000.
The soldiers and horses in Fengyang Zhongdu can be quite fought, Liu Liangzuo is under Cai, Huang Degong is in Dingyuan, and Lu Jiude is in Shouzhou. The total number of soldiers and horses of the three families is only more than 40,000. On the opposite side, Zhang Xianzhong and the 5th Battalion of Gezuo combined were almost 200,000, and they engaged several times. But he didn't suffer anything.
That Liu Liangzuo is even more of a figure from the army, and he is proficient in the tricks of the homeless army, not to mention the fight, but he still has a slight upper hand.
However, Lu Jiude, the eunuch of Nanjing, was also so angry that he scolded the street every day, thinking that Lao Tzu was originally in Huguang and Fengyang to suppress thieves, and was transferred to Nanjing, thinking that pies fell from the sky and could live a comfortable life for a few days.
Fortunately, Lu Jiude is different from Ding Qirui, he also led the soldiers to fight the old battle, and brought the soldiers over, although he was full of reluctance, but he was not ambiguous, and he was well-guarded.
These forbidden troops in Nanjing are also slightly different from the soldiers and horses in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, the local wealth is rich, and the military salaries of the officials are not as good as in other places, and some of the noble generals in Nanjing City came back from the southwest, and they also practiced diligently on weekdays.
In addition, Wei Guogong and those veteran military generals who have been in Nanjing for generations are some of the local soldiers and generals in their hands, and the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army in Nanjing should not be underestimated, at least it is enough to deal with Zhang Xianzhong and the fifth battalion of Gezuo.
But 40,000 people against nearly 200,000 people, it is not easy to completely repel the other party, and there is a headache, Chongzhen's fifteen years of natural disasters for many years in the northern provinces are smooth, but Nanzhili and Zhejiang have caused a famine, several times repelled Zhang Xianzhong and the five battalions of the Ge Zuo soldiers, and even killed a lot of casualties, immediately by the other party to collect the displaced people, relying on the tactics of the sea of people to reverse back.
No matter how the soldiers and horses led by Lu Jiude can support it, hearing that nearly one million soldiers of the Li and Luo coalition troops are stationed in Linyingtun, it is impossible to judge that they are going south and north, and Lu Jiude, the eunuch guarding the town, is also in a hurry.
Your hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in the south of Kaifeng City, and they keep saying that they are going to fight a decisive battle with the army of thieves, but this million army is now coming to Nanzhili, how can they stop it with these soldiers and horses.
The entire Nanzhili and Zhejiang towns are also terrified, this Nanzhili and Zhejiang, almost all the central officials of the Ming Dynasty are from these two places, many of the family property and family members are not brought to the capital, as soon as they hear that they are threatened by the displaced people here, their villagers and family members desperately write to the Beijing for help, those officials are naturally staring, for fear that the land south of the Yangtze River will be invaded by the displaced people.
As a result, the distress document of Lu Jiude, the eunuch of Nanjing, had not yet arrived in Beijing, and the Jingshi had already sent a decree to Henan, urging the champion of Kaifeng Chengnan to take the initiative to fight the thieves.
Zuo Liangyu and other generals can ignore the will of the imperial court and push and shove in every way, but the superintendent Ding Qirui cannot, he is the lifeblood of life and death and is controlled by the imperial court, how dare he disobey the order.
Supervisor Ding Qirui summoned Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei, Yang Guozheng, and Fang Guoan, who claimed to be 400,000 soldiers and horses, and marched south to prepare for a decisive battle with the thieves.
The Li and Luo coalition forces, which had been stationed in Linyingtun for nearly ten days, could finally determine that the Shandong soldiers and horses did not mean to appear in the near future, and Guide and Xuzhou were seven battalions, and the garrison was still insufficient, let alone attacking.
On April 25, the relieved Li and Luo allied forces marched north from the camp in Linyingba, proving that their early march along the west side of Kaifeng Mansion was nothing more than a feint, and that in the position of Linying, if the Shandong soldiers and horses were to appear, they should have stationed a large army in Guide Mansion.
However, in addition to the common-sense deployment of defense, Shandong did not take any other action, and the Li and Luo coalition forces were also prepared for this result, and the army began to move north.
The northward movement of the exile army made the superintendent Ding Qirui also breathe a sigh of relief, although the 400,000 army is the largest army assembled in recent years, but Zuo Liangyu and Hu Dawei have the possibility of retreating at any time.
Inspector Ding Qirui was no longer familiar with military affairs when he was in Beijing, and he led the troops outside for so long, and he also knew that these generals were unreliable.
Since the army of displaced people is heading north, it is better to preset the battlefield first and wait for the decisive battle.
The battlefield of the decisive battle was still pre-set in Zhuxian Town, and the two governors and the four general soldiers gathered soldiers and horses, camped in Zhuxian Town for forty miles, entrenched there, and waited for the combined forces of Li and Luo.
The residents around Zhuxian Town fled, not to avoid the upcoming war, but to avoid the officers and soldiers stationed here, and the word military disaster has a new interpretation.
The Li and Luo coalition armies that went north did not encounter any obstacles on the way, and the soldiers and horses that fought the vanguard were the Henan refugees who started in Kaifeng Mansion - Xiao Yuan Ying.
The leader of the small Yuan camp is Yuan Shizhong, who is a well-known fierce general on the ground in Henan, which is also the reason why he was appointed as the striker.
Li Meng, the chief soldier of Shandong, is still in Jining...... It's 10,000 words a day, everyone's monthly ticket votes for Lao Bai
Thank you
Needless to say, your monthly pass and subscription are the driving force for me to move forward
