Chapter 174: Break into Beijing City, do a good job!

The party guards the prime, they obviously have wings and harden to fly solo.
If the camp is taken by the camp alone. The capital, if you don't do it well, these old generals really fantasize about being like the king of Chuang back then, and supporting Li Laiheng to re-ascend the throne of Dashun.
It is true that Dang Shousu and Li Benying are not wrong, this world was indeed their old camp twenty years ago, if it weren't for the defeat of King Chuang in a stone, I am afraid that these old generals are now all noble heroes of the Great Shun Dynasty, enjoying glory and wealth.
King Chuang has no children, there is such a nephew as Li Guo under his knees, and Li Guo is such a righteous son as Li Laiheng, if he has no biological children, it is really possible for Li Laiheng, a little tiger, to become the third emperor of the Dashun Dynasty.
However, these are just fantasies, and they are unrealistic fantasies of these veterans after they feel that their "wings" have hardened.
The glory of Dashun is long gone, and the majesty of the army has long been scattered with the wind.
Li Laiheng knew very well that since his father-in-law accepted the title of Emperor Longwu, the camp was no longer a camp, but a loyal camp of the Ming Dynasty. He Li Laiheng is not a royal family of the Great Shun Dynasty now, but the Shun King of the Ming Dynasty.
If there was no Taiping Army, there would be no loyalty camp today, let alone today's Yongcheng Conference.
Li Laiheng is not a person who forgets his roots, and he has no ambition to restore the glory of "Dashun", and his fundamental intention in proposing to go north is not to regain the world as the party Shousu said, but simply to find a way out for these uncles.
For example, today's general trend is called two points, one clear and one clear; It is really three points, one full week and one Wu; There are a number of subdivisions under the third, and in this subdivision, it is obvious that the loyal battalion, which is dominated by the breaking camp, accounts for more than half. It can even be said that after Zheng Sen's death, the Loyalty Battalion was already the fourth powerful faction in addition to Man, Zhou, and Wu.
Compared with Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, Li Laiheng, the king of Shun, obviously does not have enough prestige, qualifications and fame. But now, the king of Jin is outside the border, but the king of Tashun is in the heart of the Central Plains, and he has firmly controlled the land of a province. The loyal battalion, which has more than 100,000 troops, has a decisive impact on the current war situation. Whichever side the Loyalty Camp falls to is disastrous for the other.
However, Li Laiheng was wary of Wu Sangui, and had no intention of cooperating with the other party at all, and there was a deep blood feud between the loyal battalion and Wu Sangui. Therefore, let Li Laiheng fall to Wu Sangui, even if he is willing, most of those old generals will not be willing.
For Zhou Shixiang and the Taiping Army, the loyal battalion is currently maintaining a relationship of military allies with the other party, to be precise, cooperation, or non-confrontation. Any official letter from Jiangnan to the Loyal Battalion was forwarded through the Dingwu Imperial Court and through the Ministry of War, not in the name of Zhou Shixiang's King of Qi and the Governor of the Five Armies. Li Laiheng's notes to the southern capital were also directly presented to Emperor Dingwu, and then Emperor Dingwu handed over to the cabinet to the Ministry of Troops and then to the Qi Palace. The liaison between the two sides may seem cumbersome, but it is the firmest expression of the two sides' attitude and position.
In this way, the loyal battalion gained independent territory, and the appointment and dismissal of money, food, and personnel were also autonomous, and they were not coerced by Zhou Shixiang. But in the same way, it is precisely because of the "independent" nature of the loyal battalion that it is impossible for Zhou Shixiang to provide them with a large amount of money, food and equipment unconditionally and free of charge, and it is impossible for some military operations of the Taiping army to note the loyal battalion in everything. For example, the previous time the loyal battalion wanted to seize Luzhou, it clashed with the Taiping army. Before this, Li Laiheng didn't know the other party's arrangements in Luzhou at all, and if the other party had informed him in advance, Li Laiheng would not have bumped into it like a headless fly.
To rescue the loyal battalion from Kuidong, in addition to Zhou Shixiang's respect for them, to save these good men who insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty, and to give them a good home in the future, there is also a reason. At that time, Zhou Shi explained to Song Xianggong that the reason for this move was "the cause of trouble to the north".
The loyal battalion is a pack of wolves, and those who can hold on to the present are the most elite backbones of the army. But once they are released from the dead place of Kuidong, it will undoubtedly be like digging a dam upstream, and the flood will rage down and rush straight to the Manchu Qing.
.............
Facts proved Zhou Shixiang's judgment, and after the loyal battalion came out of Kuidong, it quickly swept Hubei, so that Zhang Changgeng, then the governor of Huguang in the Qing Dynasty, had to retreat in Wuchang. The loyal battalion occupying Hubei also quickly attracted the attention of the Qing court, or directly or indirectly attracted the firepower of the Qing court for the Taiping army in Guangxi, relieving the pressure of the Taiping army, so that the Taiping army could achieve the final victory in the Battle of Guangxi.
But Zhou Shixiang didn't expect that although the old generals had the surname Ming, they still had the surname Shun in their bones. After they gained "freedom", they immediately became familiar with their old profession - rogues.
At the beginning in Luoding, in order to strengthen himself, Zhou Shixiang had to use the method of coercion, and after gaining a foothold in Xiangshan, he immediately abandoned this practice and turned to the construction of the base place. Those who are "apprentices" know that they must have a foothold for a long time, but the "masters" have not changed for more than 20 years, which makes the "apprentices" stunned. When he knew that the whole province of Hubei was harmed by the Loyalty Battalion, Zhou Shixiang regretted whether his original decision was correct. However, the wood is already in the boat, and he can no longer stop the "growth" of the loyalty battalion.
Zhou Shixiang once carefully compared the Loyal Battalion with the Great Western Army, and compared Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun, etc. with Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Liu Wenxiu of the Great Western Army, and came to the conclusion that Dashun was far inferior to Daxi!
The Great Western Army led by Sun Kewang paid attention to the fundamentals, local governance and construction, the restoration of production, the restraint of military discipline, and the training of its own officials. At that time, the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou under the governance of Sun Kewang were mature every year, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and it was precisely because of this that the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou could support the Great Western Army to go north to resist the Qing Dynasty and achieve brilliant results. Sun Kewang even opened a branch in Yunnan to recruit scholars, and all his actions were the most outstanding politicians of this era. The Ming army, which was dominated by the Great Western Army, was even more disciplined, whether it was Sun Kewang's front army or Li Dingguo's Xifu soldiers, they were all real "benevolent and righteous divisions". When Zhou Shixiang led the Taiping army into Xiangshan, he also put forward the same slogan and military order as Li Dingguo when he attacked Guangdong, such as not killing cattle, destroying houses, and destroying fertile land.
On the other hand, the loyal battalion, which is dominated by the Dashun army, is really disappointing. Under the leadership of Sun Kewang and others, the Great Western Army was transformed into a real official army, but they were still rogues dressed in official and military clothes. To put it mildly, the destructive power of the loyal battalion in the eyes of Zhou Shixiang was no less than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although the loyal battalion did not do a large-scale massacre of the city, but the consequences of coercing the young and strong Lafuzi everywhere were no less than the slaughter of the city.
Zhou Shixiang did not blame Li Laiheng for being inferior to Sun Kewang, inferior to Li Dingguo, nor did he blame Li Laiheng for not being able to restrain the old generals under him. Changing the habits of a group of people that they have ingrained and retained cannot be succeeded by a single "little tiger". In order to minimize the destructive power of the Loyal Battalion, the only way Zhou Shixiang could do so was to contain them in an area and prevent them from spreading.
It's easy to destroy a place, it's too easy; Restoring a place is difficult, even more difficult.
After decades of war, China's population has been pitifully small, and how to restore the population of the southern provinces recovered by the Taiping army made Zhou Shixiang sad, and he didn't want the old generals of the loyal battalion to turn the north upside down again as they did twenty or thirty years ago.
The reason why the loyal battalion was unable to open up the situation in eastern and southern Henan was because they were good at field warfare, but they lacked the strength and means to attack the fortifications. And what is the strongest means of the Taiping army, it is undoubtedly to attack the fortification.
Zhou Shixiang had too many ways to help the Loyal Battalion take the cities they had previously regarded as "fortified cities" without much effort, but he never assisted the Loyal Battalion with any siege weapons, and even gunpowder was rarely provided.
Why is this so, because Zhou Shi is afraid.
He was afraid that one day in the future, he would march north. On the way to Beijing, I found that the place I passed through was still there, but the people were gone.
Under the instruction of Zhou Shixiang, Zhao Sihai, the governor of Hunan, "aided" the loyal battalion with four words -- "encircling the point to send reinforcements". This method is actually a very good means of destroying the enemy's army, and it also happens to restrain the strategy of "hardening the village and fighting a dumb battle" developed by Jia Hanfu, the governor of Henan Province in the Qing Dynasty, and relying on his field mobility ability to attack the enemy's must-save places, so as to annihilate the enemy's reinforcements.
However, this method has a fatal flaw, that is, the side of "encirclement and reinforcement" must first survive on its own, and there must be enough food and grass to support their strategy. The reality is that no matter which leader of the Loyalty Battalion, there is not enough food and grass to support them. Therefore, when this strategic intent is actually implemented, it is a bit of a cat-to-cat, nondescript, and often ineffective.
Neither encircling the point nor sending reinforcements, the loyal battalion could not capture the grain and grass of the Qing army through battle, and could not develop and grow by breaking the city and plundering manpower and material resources. And their habitual "rogue" behavior dooms the area under their control to be a mess, and it is impossible to provide them with an endless stream of money and food.
A penny is hard to beat a hero.
When the loyal battalions, which have not been "captured" but are frantically "recruiting," reach the critical point of their own capabilities, they have to stop "expanding" and are busy with their own food and clothing problems. On the contrary, naturally many towns and cities will be preserved, even if they are still under the control of the Qing army, but they will not become "white land" like some places.
After Zhou Shixiang was ready to solve the Dutch red-haired ghost, he immediately dispatched the sailors to the north to copy Liaodong, cut off Ningjin, cut off the retreat of the remaining old and young of the Manchu Eight Banners, and completely solved the "freak" that had plagued the Ming Dynasty for 50 years, so that they would not have the opportunity to return to Baishan and Heishui and rise again in the future.
This strategy is to solve all the old bangzi who have lost their teeth in Manchuria, and the little cubs who have gone down to the swaddling clothes, leaving no one behind.
This strategy is the last revenge that Zhou Shixiang made for his parents, wife and children, and for the hundreds of millions of compatriots who have died since Jiashen. Prior to this, he would not tolerate anyone who would sabotage his strategic intentions and "scare the snakes" so that the Manchurians would advance from the north. The retreat of Beijing to Guanwai made it necessary for the Taiping army to invest a large number of troops outside the Guanxi in the future to carry out a long-term public security war and a war of encirclement and suppression.
It's just that no one knows what Zhou Shixiang thinks, and they don't know that he has so much ambition.
Li Laiheng didn't know, so after repeated consideration, he decided to take the loyal battalion north, firstly to find a way out for these uncles, secondly, to solve the food problem in the army, and thirdly, to help the Taiping army, which was temporarily unable to go north, to play a striker, if his side went well, then the Taiping army could also take advantage of the situation to advance north.
Lee Rae-hyung is really kind.
..........
In that year, the king broke into the north. The capital, it was a smooth sail, and almost all the Ming troops along the way were in despair.
"Slaughter cattle and sheep, prepare wine and syrup, and open the gate of the city to meet the king, who will not pay for the grain when he comes.
Eat his mother, her mother, and eat not enough to break the king.
If you don't pay for it, you don't pay for food, and everyone has a happy life. ā
Under the singing of this nursery rhyme, the Chuang army finally entered the north. Capital.
It's just that after 20 years, Li Laiheng made another trip to the north. The situation of Beijing's plan is very different from that of 20 years ago.
First of all, Henan has the heavy troops of the Qing army, although Ao Bai and Wu Sangui are fighting to the death, but they can't pull out their hands, and they will definitely not let the more than 100,000 horses of the loyal battalion go north from under his nose. Secondly, there were Qing troops stationed in Xuzhou, and there were Han troops and green battalions in Shandong and Beizhili. Although most of the Manchurian young men in the capital were brought to Henan by Aobai, the loyal battalion was really in the city, and the Qing court could make up some soldiers and horses to fight to the death. With the North. The capital held on, and the loyal battalion, which lacked the strength to attack the fortifications, wanted to enter the north with the king back then. Jing is as easy as it is, I'm afraid it can't.
In the end, Wu Sangui was able to let the loyal battalion take the north one step ahead of him. Capital city? The fruits of the battle between him and Ao Bai in Kaizheng were just given to the loyal camp? Zhou Shixiang worked hard to defeat the Manchus, and now he is deploying a big net shrouded in Manchuria, old and young, can he tolerate the Loyal Battalion to scare the "snake" away?
Li Laiheng obviously didn't think about it so much, what he was thinking about now was that if he led the loyal battalion north, Wu Sangui didn't talk about him, Zhou Shixiang would definitely be grateful to him. Because he didn't have to go north. Jing occupies it as his own ambition to call the Emperor of Dashun in the Forbidden City. He just wanted to integrate the Loyal Battalion and the Thirteen Families of Shaohuang, as well as those Henan bandits, unite to fight more territory, get more food, so that the brothers will no longer starve, and let him, the king of Shun, do more confidently.
The shouts of Dang Shousu and Li Benying were blatantly to re-raise the banner of Dashun, to break with the Ming Dynasty and the Taiping Army, and Li Laiheng would not do it, and Liu Tichun would not do it.
Li Laiheng rarely scolded Dang Shousu and Li Benying for being confused, and the two veteran generals also realized that what they said was too much and would cause a big disaster to the loyalty camp, so they didn't dare to squeak anymore.
"Hit the north. Beijing, everyone have a good time! ā
Ta Tianbao thought of Hao Shaoqi and Wu Sangui's eyebrows, and thought that it would be better to have this scene with the little tiger. Good luck to take the north. In the capital, everyone is happy. If you're unlucky, you'll be hanging your mother's death.
"Yes, so that he is not a person or a ghost here, it is better to fight for great wealth!"
Shake the loess Kou Wu Dading's eyes are red, and he hits the north. Jing Na is such a majestic thing, whether it succeeds or not, if you can participate in this matter, it will be worth the damn death.
Liu Tichun had already made up his mind with Li Laiheng, and he also got up to echo the matter at the moment. All the leaders of the meeting will be called Beat North. The majesty of the capital was attracted, and some said that the Tartars piled up all the goods they had looted over the years in the north. The capital, if everyone takes the north. In the capital, they all became rich people.
For the riches, for the mighty, for the slaying of the tartars, and for those who restore the ambition of the Great Shun.
Erlang Guanzhong exploded, and he was all shouting to kill Shangbei. The capital, fuck the damn vote. A few sober people are clamoring to go, and there are so many people who are thinking about going, even if they don't succeed, most of them can go back, so they are also a little tempted.
Seeing that everyone did not object, Li Laiheng struck while the iron was hot and asked Liu Tichun to mobilize before the war, and the troops of which leaders gathered where, from where to go north, where the contact point was, and whose orders were listened to, and issued orders one by one. The leader of the order stepped forward to receive the sign, shouting loudly and with high morale.
This bustle will be in the evening, so it is a big bowl of drinking, a large piece of meat, everyone drinks and talks, all looking forward to the good days of going north. No one paid attention, and King Guangxing, the prince of Jingguo, went out to pee under the pretext of drinking too much, so he secretly summoned his own soldiers and asked him to rush to the Taiping army overnight to report the news.
Wang Guangxing now felt that he was no longer on the boat of the Loyal Camp, he was now a person on the boat of King Qi.
