Chapter 533: The Hearts of the People in the World Aspire

In late July, Chen Liu, the commander of the Central Plains Army, sent two things to Li Meng in Jinan, one was Li Zicheng's head, and the other was the news of the destruction of Xiangyang City.

Niu Yan, who was already the secretary and the secretary of the secretary's office, and the pro-military battalion identified the head of the chief Hao Shaoqi, although it was unrecognizable and very hideous, but it was still confirmed that this was the head of King Chuang.

Hao Shaoqi, who is known as a cold nature, went back to his residence and stayed overnight, and the next day his eyes were sunken and bloodshot, and the spies of the Inventory Division had been staring at his movements, and Niu Yan was showing that he was unwilling, ignorant, and returned to normal after almost three days.

What a character Li Zicheng is, that is a hero who is qualified to compete in the world, an unborn hero, but so suddenly, so suddenly, so suddenly, the head was sent to Shandong, they are not qualified to know what happened, but this death is too simple.

The news of the destruction of Xiangyang City was soon publicized to the world of Shandong, and the process was also very simple, first cleared the fortifications and defenses outside Xiangyang City, and then concentrated heavy artillery bombardment of a corner of the city wall, under the heavy artillery bombardment of sixteen and eighteen pounds, the so-called Xiongcheng of the world did not support it.

The key problem is that after the collapse of the city wall, the soldiers of the Shun army could not fill the gap, and the fire soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion swept away all the enemies who dared to show their heads, and then the armored non-commissioned officers took the lead, and rushed in with axes and spearmen behind them, and a gap was opened, and the defense of the entire city collapsed.

The attack of the Central Plains Army was only aimed at Xiangyang a little, but when this point was opened, the defense of the entire Xiangyang could not be maintained, and the foot soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion were the strongest army in the world, and there was no enemy in front of them who could form resistance.

What's more, in Xiangyang City, the news of King Chuang's death has already made the residents panic, and the sudden sternness of the Ming Dynasty does not have to be inferior to the policy of the Ming Dynasty, which makes people's hearts a little broken.

Without the support of the residents, the soldiers of the Shun army could not hold on, and if they were trapped in the city and did not move, they could only be caught in the Jiaozhou camp urn and completely annihilated.

Liu Zongmin, the head of the military generals of the Shun army, was accidentally concentrated by fragments during the artillery bombardment, and died on the spot, Yuan Zongdi was nowhere to be found, Li Guo and Gao Yigong went out of the city from the south gate with thousands of relatives and guards, and went to meet Zhang Nai, who was in Yicheng, where he still had nearly 30,000 troops.

However, Zhang Nai's troops are new, and it is estimated that there are 3,000 to 5,000 backbones who are already lucky, and the news of the destruction of Xiangyang City has spread so quickly, and the landlords in the Huguang area have heard the news, and they are like beasts that smell blood, and they are flocking to it.

In the past, the Shun army was also a giant beast, no one dared to touch the edge, but now it is a piece of fat, and everyone has to go up and nibble on it to make a profit.

With the oppression of the Jiaozhou battalion army in front and the harassment of the local armed militia in the back, the power of the Shun army Huguang quickly collapsed, and many Shun soldiers took off their uniforms and became ordinary people and mixed into the countryside.

Zhang Nai's fight over there was originally a smooth sail, but the situation changed, and he couldn't stand it, Liu Hongqi of Baiyun Village gathered the so-called coalition army of 48 villages, and there were almost 70,000 people to storm Yicheng, and he could only lead the elite troops to break through and join Li Guo, Gao Yigong, etc.

Nearly 10,000 people were brought out from Xiangyang City, and there were more than 3,000 people on Zhang Nai's side, but when the group fought and retreated all the way to Changsha Mansion to join Zhang Xianzhong of the Great Western Army, there were only more than 7,000 people left in their hands, and the rest were consumed along the way.

Its rise is also vigorous, and its demise is also very appropriate, and it is very appropriate to describe the political armed group of Dashun, with several ups and downs, and finally has a solid base, and when it is ready to forge ahead, it is attacked by the Jiaozhou battalion, that is, in less than a year, Dashun has actually been destroyed.

Such a large force was eliminated so quickly, so that the people of the world completely saw the absolute superiority of the Jiaozhou battalion over various forces.

Shun is stronger than Daxi, Daxi and Ming have each other's wins and losses, but occupy the upper hand, basically this distinction, now Shun's fall, Shandong from north to south to sweep the world, known as the world's Xiongguan Xiangyang City was easily taken, which deepened the impression of everyone.

In August, the world became very quiet, Zhang Xianzhong of the Great Western Army had integrated the various forces in his hands, and had already gained the upper hand over the Ming Army, and the addition of Li Guo, Gao Yigong and other backbone of the Shun Army made the strength of the Great Western Army go up to a higher level, but now he did not dare to look forward to Nanzhili and Jiangnan, but only adjusted the movement of the troops, and began to ponder the land of Guangdong.

General Ping, Ningnan Gong Zuo Liangyu was frightened by the bloody methods of the Jiaozhou battalion, not to mention that General Zuo had fought with the Tartars in Hebei and Liaozhen back then, so he naturally understood how strong the Shandong troops that annihilated the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Tartars were, and it was clear that the Shun army and the Great Western Army around him were shrinking now, but he didn't dare to make any moves to expand his territory.

On the contrary, he put all the gold and silver treasures he had looted on the boat, and when something bad happened, he was ready to go south along the waterway and slip away.

Needless to say, the gloom of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty is naturally bleak, and Liu Zongzhou, the first assistant of the cabinet, is actually the teacher of the little emperor Zhu Cihong, who enters the palace every day to give lectures.

The little emperor Hongguang is now extremely panicked, for fear that someone will open the city to dedicate him, Liu Zongzhou is a scholar after all, this ability to be an official is inevitably a little worse, he opened his mouth to persuade the words are very interesting, actually said that you are a child, there is nothing to do with Li Mengna and other heroes, it is still okay to be a rich man.

Liu Zongzhou is the most loyal courtier in this small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and he actually said such words, which shows that he has no confidence in the situation at all.

What's more absurd, at the cabinet meeting of the imperial court, the eunuch who escorted Zhu Cihong to this side is now someone who is now the master of ceremonies, crying and kneeling down at the court meeting, begging the elders to have any plans, the emperor doesn't want to care, and understands everyone's difficulties, but the emperor is still young, please leave a way for the little emperor.

Now this cabinet meeting is not quite the same as the concept of the Beijing division, the admiral eunuch Lu Jiude also participated, the Nanjing garrison Wei Guogong also participated, the military department Shangshu Ma Shiying also participated, and the remaining ministers of Shangshu also have such and such relationships with the general army generals below, this cabinet meeting is actually a warlord meeting.

Basically, the people who have military power in their hands, or the representatives of those who have military power in their hands are here, these people have their own thoughts, and when they heard the eunuch kneeling down with tears in their eyes, they were also very embarrassed to each other, and Liu Zongzhou, the head of the cabinet and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was speechless there.

The city of Nanjing is broken, Jiangnan is in the hands of the king of Qi, this is already a fact recognized by everyone, that is, sooner or later, it is said that in the past, the city must be chaotic, many people take advantage of the fire to rob, but now it is different, several soldiers and horses are specially arranged to strictly investigate in the city, if there are people who commit adultery, they must be slaughtered first.

understands that there are a lot of people, and everyone knows in their hearts, this is to give Qi Guogong a complete Nanjing City, so as not to make it difficult for everyone to do it when he gets it.

Now everyone guesses, who took the initiative to open the city of Nanjing, who won the jackpot, but the new Yingtian Governor Ruan Dacheng is in full swing, rectifying the place, cleaning up taxes, and maintaining law and order.

The traffic between the north and the south was not cut off, and the people from the north brought news about what they had seen and heard from the north, and a large number of ships were moored in several large river ports, and the troops of the Jiaozhou battalion were ready to cross the river.

The Donglin Party is mainly from the land of Su Songchang, and the Zhejiang Party is the three prefectures of Hangjiahu, and these people are the elite core of the so-called scholars in the world.

Since the rise of Shandong, Jiangnan scholars are endlessly abusive, and the court and China are also one-sided attacks, first, this Li Meng is a relative of the great eunuch Liu Fulai, and he is a martial artist, this kind of person is the most despicable eunuch, naturally it is incompatible, and Li Meng does not put the literati in his eyes at all, the tradition of the noble and the lowly is related to the status of the literati, and it cannot be retreated, and it must be seen superior.

What's more, Shandong's private salt sales, Shandong's foreign trade, Shandong's commercial network, and the Lijin checkpoint located on the Caoyun hub have all had an impact on the wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is damage to their interests, which is a tolerable and unbearable thing.

Jiangnan has always had a tradition of subsidizing poor scholars to study, and most of the wealthy families are scholars, and the excellent cultural traditions of Jiangnan determine that Jiangnan people occupy a large number of officialdom, and these officials who are inextricably linked with the interests of the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan naturally want to defend the interests of the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan.

Li Meng of Shandong is naturally their enemy of the same day, secretly stumbling, smearing in the open, mixing sand in Shandong, all kinds of means are exhausted, who would have thought that today this Li Meng is already going to dominate the world, and the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan also feel that following this King of Qi, there may be more benefits to take, and they have changed their positions.

After a period of silence, public opinion also has to observe the situation, and when it sees that Nanjing City and all parts of the Yangtze River are like this, public opinion also knows what to do.

Originally, it was still sneaky, but now in the Poetry Society, some people have openly claimed that the north is where the king's anger lies, and they also took out the jokes of Zhu Di and Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty as an argument.

The public opinion here is boiling, all in order to be able to perform in front of the King of Qi, but the Qi Palace's side doesn't care about this, Li Meng is holding a fire gun slightly smaller than the arquebus smoothbore gun in his hand to watch, and Sun Hedou next to him explained with a smile:

"Lord Wang, we made a mistake before, this excitation device does not need to use springs, but can use reeds instead, and now it is mass production."
