Chapter 68: Reaction (II)
"The former chief military officer of Zhenningshan Customs, now the president of the world, the master of water and land in the world, Xingming, to capture the general Jiwang Wu, and inform the military attachΓ©s and military officials of the world that the military and the people are aware:"
"This town is deeply talking about the Ming Dynasty Shijue, and the town of Shanhaiguan. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"For a while, Li rebelled and advocated chaos, gathered millions of people, ran rampant all over the world, and swirled the Jingshi."
"Pain! The collapse of the Empress Yi. Miserable! The East Palace is set and lacks bumps. The civil and military forces collapsed, the six palaces were in chaos, the temples were in ruins, the living beings were displaced, and the subjects looked sideways. In the whole world, there is no righteous Xingshi Qin Wang to beg for thieves, it hurts! What can you say about Guoyuan's husband? β
"The town lives alone outside the pass, the arrows are exhausted, the tears are dry and bloody, the heartache is silent, the last resort is a blood alliance, Xu Yu is sealed, temporarily borrow 100,000 soldiers, as a precursor, behead the general into the customs, Li thief escaped, sad for the monarch's father, the revenge is not shared, vow to capture the thief handsome, behead the temple, in order to thank the spirit of the first emperor. Fortunately, the thief escaped and disappeared, and Qu Kui gave the head, and he was about to choose an heir, and he inherited the feudal domain of the Zongshe and cut the land to thank the Yi people. I didn't want to be cunning and then betrayed the alliance, took advantage of my inner weakness, took advantage of Yandu, stole my first artifact, changed my Chinese crown, and knew that it was wrong to refuse the tiger into the wolf, and don't make a mistake of holding the salary to fight the fire. β
"The town is stabbing and vomiting blood, there is no way to regret it, and it will want to go back to the north and sweep away the fishy atmosphere, but the captives are clamped by Meng Shun Qiao Fang, Li Reverse Guohan and other generations, and there are more than 100,000 captives on the side, and the town has no way to win. Gu drank and wept and forbeared, did not dare to act lightly, so as to avoid living in poverty, raise obscurity, select generals to train troops, recover the secret map, listen to the leakage, bind the horse and look at the stars, sharpen the vigilant, cover for 14 years! β
"The king is unreasonable, treacherous and evil, and the Confucianism of morality is subordinate to all officials; Douxiao's generation, Xianju is in a prominent position. The monarch is dark, the officials are cool and the officials are greedy, the water is miserable and the mountains are sad, the women are angry with the ocean and even the comet is falling, the sky is resentful of the top, the landslide is shaking, the land is resentful of the bottom, the officials sell the lord, the benevolence is resentful of the court, the harsh government is levied, the people are resentful of the township, the tariffs are releved, the business is resentful of Tu, the conscription is frequent, and the workers are resentful. β
"This town looks up and down, just when the riots are being cut down and the people are saved, and the day is also the day when the sky responds to the people. He led the civil and military ministers, participated in the righteous act, took the September 12 of the year of Ding You, rebelled in Hanzhong to resist the barbarians, fought hard for several months, restored the ancient capital of the six dynasties in Xi'an, destroyed more than 100,000 captives, slaughtered the city to comfort the soul of the dead in the sky, and hereby told the world. β
"Move the presidential soldiers to immediately Jin Wang Li, and the presidential soldiers will immediately bring Shu Wang Liu, recruit the general and presidential envoy Zheng, mobilize 3.6 million officers and soldiers on land and water, and go straight to Yanshan. Long drive the water, out of the copper ostrich in the thorns, lay the jade burning in the golden soup, the banner of righteousness, respond to all directions, the heart of the subjects, and the anger of the snow heaven and people. Inspire my martial arts, cut the hustle and bustle of the other, macro the strategy of Zhongxing, enthusiastically wind and thunder, build a perfect strategy, and sing and rain dew. β
"If you can understand the time and look at the wind, the grass and trees will not be damaged, and the chickens and dogs will not be surprised; Dare to be obedient and obedient, love the current selfish kindness, forget the old master of the Central Plains, according to the danger, resist my king's division, that is, supervise the iron horse, personally conquer the nest, the old and childish do not stay, both men and women are punished. β
"If there is a Confucian, intensive study of the art of war, and the paralyzed valley, you may wish to offer advice before the army, to support the humerus, since the equivalent of the material is excellent, without Jin Gaojue's thick seal, from the provincial officials, if there are clean self-lovers, honest and honest authors, still stay in the office; The grain was requisitioned, the warehouse was sealed, the letter was sealed, and the army was relieved. β
"If there is something unfinished, it is advisable to issue another treaty, and everyone should obey the warning, so as not to stain the knife with blood, this town is very fortunate, and the world is very fortunate!"
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Zhixi read aloud Wu Sangui's essay on the captivity, and the hall was full of gritted teeth and the disdain squeezed out from time to time.
"What a person who is in Cao Ying's heart is in Han, what a good person who tastes courage in lying on his salary, and what a dog slave who betrays his master and is ungrateful!"
As soon as Shunzhi said three good words in a row, the magnates poured out the anger in their hearts as if it was a dam flooding. Wu Sangui repeatedly emphasized in his essays that he led the Qing soldiers into the customs in order to avenge the so-called monarch's father's revenge, and then pushed his major failures in the past ten years of dedication to the Qing Dynasty to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's vigilance against him, washing himself like a white lotus.
This is not the most infuriating, after all, every betrayer will find such and such reasons, Nurhachi didn't make up a seven hatreds back then, and even the matter of Yehe's old woman was revealed. Of course, it is impossible for the magnates of the Eight Banners to be angry at Wu Sangui's discrimination against the former Dashun army.
In the final analysis, what made these magnates most angry was that Wu Sangui swept Shaanxi and Gansu by deception, and even slaughtered the city of Xi'an.
"It is better to be with friends than with domestic slaves. I have made up my mind, dispatch a new army, and fight to the death with Wu Sangui! β
Shaanxi rebellion, the first to spread to the capital is that Zhang Tianfu led the Western Mongolia into Shaanxi, defeated Wu Sangui and Li Guohan, Wu Sangui fled, Li Guohan died in the chaos.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty has always emphasized the unity of Manchu and Mongolia, and their understanding of Moxi Mongolia is far better than that of the Han princes. Now Moxi Mongolia has two parts, Jungar and Heshuote, both of which are overlords. But the problem is that the lord of Dzungar, Batur Huntaiji, is dead, and his son Sangge chooses to be friendly with the Manchus and fight against Tsarist Russia, and it stands to reason that he will not go eastward. Gushi Khan of the Heshute Department also died of illness last year, and Dayan Ozir Khan, who is now the successor to the throne, is still vying for power and profit with the Fifth Dalai Lama in Tibet, so he has no effort to advance eastward.
However, the situation is unclear, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's strength has been greatly reduced today, and they dare not move lightly, so they have to wait and see what happens, and there are also many thoughts of using Wu Sangui's main force of the Guanning Army in Hanzhong to consume the strength of Zhang Tianfu and the Mongolian iron cavalry, but who knows that this is just a deception set up by Wu Sangui.
If the Mongols advanced eastward, the Manchus would fight, but if they were defeated, they would not be wiped out, because there was no unsolvable grudge between the two before, and perhaps the Mongols would still need them to help rule the Han land. But if the Han people turn the tables, then they will face the catastrophe of extermination, especially Wu Sangui and others, who are eager to wash their hands, and they are even more ruthless.
The news kept coming, and after Wu Sangui captured Xi'an, he launched a full-scale offensive against Shaanxi and Gansu. Shaanxi Xi'an Right Wing Four Banners Ang Bang Zhangjing Fu Kachan died in the battle of Xi'an City, Sichuan and Shaanxi Trilateral Governor Li Guoying was captured and killed by Wu Sangui, Shaanxi Governor Chen Jixin surrendered. Feng Shengzhao, the governor of Yansui, Tong Yannian, the governor of Gansu, and Huang Tu'an, the governor of Ningxia, are still struggling to support, but with Wu Sangui's offensive, these areas will probably not last long, and I am afraid that by the time the Manchu counterinsurgency army arrives, these places are no longer owned by the Qing court.
Shunzhi's holy decree was issued, and those present took the order one after another. The candidate for the commander is Jidu, Prince Zheng's status and prestige in the previous pacification of the Seven Anti-Qing Uprisings, plus the position of the Minister of the General Office of the New Army, he is the best choice for the commander. In terms of deputy marshal, one is Ao Bai, the other is Liu Cheng, and the co-organizers and the ministers of the conference are all dispatched, and the new armament replenishment that is being organized and trained in the capital has come to an end for the time being.
After leaving the Forbidden City, Jidu, Ao Bai and other New Army officers returned to their homes one after another, but Liu Cheng, the minister of the New Army who held the rank of squire of the military department, went straight to the New Army camp outside the city.
It has been nearly three years since the Qing Dynasty was surrendered, and it has been two years since it arrived in the capital, and even this new army has been trained for more than a year. Returning to the barracks and looking at everything in the camp is where his hard work over the years lies, he is very cordial.
At this moment, the battalions of the new army were still in full swing in drills, and they did not fluctuate at all due to the defeat in the northwest and the recent gossip in the capital, everything seemed to be in order, which reminded him of the Nantang battalion of only a few hundred people on Dalan Mountain, which seemed to be the same when it received the defeat of the Siming Mountain coalition army on the shore of Siming Lake.
"It's been more than a year, and it's finally come to pass. Hmph, if it weren't for the restraints, this new army would have been trained a long time ago according to Chen Wen's method, so why bother to postpone it to this day. β
Having said that, Liu Cheng only said it secretly in his heart, and he never dared to say it. In the final analysis, it is true that he is the minister of the meeting, but in the Eight Banners Army, he is only a Han army with a yellow flag Melle Zhangjing, and the title of the military squire is even more worthless, even if it is difficult and bitter in his heart, he will never dare to complain in the slightest, especially not dare to let others know.
Liu Cheng dismounted outside the gate, handed over the war horse to Goshha beside him, and walked to the big school field by himself. In the distance, the spearmen are practicing assassination in formation, and the musketeers are practicing loading on both sides of the large school field - live ammunition shooting, and they also train according to the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies on weekdays, but now the situation is unclear, which will inevitably cause accidents, and it is also for the sake of saving gunpowder and projectiles in the upcoming big war.
In this new army, the spearmen were all Manchurian Eight Banners, the musketeers were all Han Eight Banners, and the cavalry was dominated by the Mongolian Eight Banners, which were now being trained outside the camp. Among the three Eight Banner armies, the Manchurian and Han armies had to form a formation to cooperate in the battle, and for this reason, the Manchurian Eight Banners also resisted the new tactics for a time, because the new army's tactics were now based on firecrackers, and the elevation of the status of the Han army naturally caused dissatisfaction in Manchuria.
Shunzhi suppressed this opposition, but it also affected the further expansion of the new army -- the unspoken achievements could only be trained in the name of the new armament replenishment, and in addition to the existence of the problem of weapon manufacturing, only such a new army could fight for the time being.
"Fortunately, Chen Wen can only start the Northern Expedition after ensuring the stability of the south, otherwise it will be over early in the morning, and I really want to thank the Ming Court and those thieves in the western camp, no one will hold back, and I will not have a chance."
Nanming internal strife is still frequent, and Liu Cheng also participated in Cao Conglong's rebellion, so he has a deep understanding of this. Chen Wen was in the south, and the water network of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was vertical and horizontal, and Chen Wen's tactics were advantageous while also adding the factor of geographical advantages, which could be called invincible and unfavorable, but it was also extremely difficult to raise troops for the Northern Expedition without the internal and external environment of Zhu Yuanzhang at that time.
Now that Chen Wen is seeking stability, the Manchus have a chance to survive so far, but every day that passes, it is one day closer to the Northern Expedition. And just when the time left for them was getting less and less, Wu Sangui, a careerist, jumped out and wanted to take advantage of the fire......
"Risks and opportunities coexist, and risks and opportunities coexist."
After recalling these words twice in his mind, Liu Cheng also completed his routine inspection of the training of the university. When he returned to his residence in the camp, Li Zhifang was already waiting at his door, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Ye Yuan, what's the matter?"
"Sima, has the court made a decision?"
"Yes, these two days will be ready. The whole army of the new army went out to fight, and in addition, 5,000 Eighth Banner Army and two units of Xuanda Dubiao and Shanxi Fubiao were dispatched to accompany them. There was also a partial division, led by Bel Tunqi, which was not on the same path as the new army. β
Since meeting at Hu Quancai's funeral, Liu Cheng and Li Zhifang had a very happy conversation, and soon arranged for him to join the new army in the name of throwing a pen from Rong. Starting from the clerkship of the minister, he is now an important staff member in Liu Cheng's curtain, and he has also made a lot of contributions to the formation and training of the new army, but there are still Ji Du and Ao Bai staring at it, Liu Cheng is tied to doing things, otherwise Li Zhifang would have been further promoted.
"Also, the longer this matter drags on, the more weak and powerless the imperial court will be, and the green camps in Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Huaibei and other places, as well as the Mongol tribes in southern Mongolia, will rise up and attack it at that time."
"That's what I said, the imperial court is now eager for Shaanxi to be on the edge of Zhili, but there is still a Shanxi in between, and there is nothing to be done."
After saying a joke, Liu Cheng's expression was dazed, and then he said to Li Zhifang: "Ye Yuan, this time you go with the army, and when you come back, the official will recommend it to the imperial court." You are talented, and the pattern of a mere staff is really not worthy of your talents. β
Following Liu Cheng for many years, Li Zhifang became a civilian officer in the new army step by step as a prisoner who lost his land and gained fame, which is not without hardship compared to his background as a jinshi. Seeing that Liu Cheng said this, Li Zhifang was also very moved, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Liu Cheng. And Liu Cheng, on the other hand, also accepted it calmly, and everything was in tacit understanding.
After five days of preparation, the new army was finally able to officially set off. In fact, it is not so much that the new army prepared for five days, but that the Manchu government finally prepared the first row of mules, horses, grain, and grass needed for the army with a speed of super-level performance, but that the new army had already completed its preparations, and could not set off until the military department, the household department, and the industrial department had finished their work.
"Eat the emperor's meal!"
"Eat the emperor's meal!"
"Wear the emperor's clothes!"
"Wear the emperor's clothes!"
"The Qing Dynasty is here, and the banner people are rich and prosperous!"
"The Qing Dynasty is here, and the banner people are rich and prosperous!"
"The Qing Dynasty is no more, and there is no place for the banner people to die!"
"The Qing Dynasty is no more, and there is no place for the banner people to die!"
At the departure ceremony, the new army responded to Shunzhi with the slogan of its formation, and then slowly left the new army camp with the battalion as a unit, and went to Shaanxi, which is now in chaos, along the official road.
The new army left the camp in a big way, and their weapons and equipment were exposed. Half a day after leaving the camp of the new army, the new army continued to advance after lunch, and did not have the slightest intention of waiting for the other Eight Banner Army, but prepared to rush to Shaanxi as fast as possible to quell the rebellion set off by the Guanning Army group.
On a hill in the distance, two men dressed as woodcutters lay on their stomachs in the grass. One has his eyes closed, and there are words in his mouth, as if he were silently remembering; The other, holding a binocular, watched the marching ranks of the Forces nouvelles through the grass, and told his companions what he had seen in an extremely low voice.
After a long time, the new army drove slowly, and the two of them lay on the ground, moved backwards to the back of the hill, slowly squatted up, looked around for a moment before disappearing into the forest below.
