Chapter 43: The Military Division
"Then," Jinyi Wei Xiao Li asked Zhu Cihong for instructions: "When I came, the official of the hundred households called Yan Aobo to ask the minister to ask the master for instructions: When will the net be closed?" The other party has a lot of manpower, and it is also slippery, Xiao Liu Ying is used to being a spy, after a long time, he will definitely find that something is wrong, the pro-army is afraid of insufficient manpower, in case it leaks, it is a great sin, and please show it as soon as possible, it is appropriate to close the net as soon as possible. ”
This guy is really sharp-toothed, and he quickly finished this set of words, and his pulse is clear.
Jin Yiwei is also a dead tiger now, and Hu Yan, Xiao Li, and Gao Sheng are just the last afterglow of this huge organization.
If it weren't for the fact that they happened to be staring at the spies who broke into the camp and were discovered by Zhu Cihong on the Chaoyang Gate, I am afraid that the remaining available manpower in the Jinyi Guard would be able to be submerged in the torrent of history in the future siege and breaking the city, coupled with the destruction of Luo's command to surrender the enemy.
"If we don't have enough people, we'll raise some more." Zhu Cihong thought for a while and instructed: "I still have to rely on them to pass on some news, and I also want to see what they are doing in the capital...... Tell Huyan Baihu that it is not yet time to close the net. However, people have to keep an eye on me, and I have to find out where I go, who I see, and what I have done. ”
The spies who broke into the camp and infiltrated the city were dozens of people, and they had different identities, and they did not live in one place.
It's probably also afraid of being served in a pot.,So there's also this kind of cunning rabbit three holes.。
"It's a little harder......"
There are not many people who need to be used in the Jinyi Guard now, but Xiao Li gritted his teeth and said: "Please rest assured, as long as we take over this errand, we will definitely give the soup to the master!" ”
"Well, I'll remember it!"
For the people of Jinyiwei, Zhu Cihong has less majesty and more means of entrapment. A lot of money was also allocated to them, and they did not have to be reimbursed, and they could be used as they pleased.
Spending money so casually, and not supervising it, is because Jinyiwei is still only on the periphery, and we have to see how these people are.
The people of the secret service organization are good at hypocrisy and betrayal, and they are not so easy to trust.
But with such a gentle word of comfort, the little head flag in his twenties in front of him was also very moved, bowed and stood up, his eyes were also a little red, and he only said: "Please rest assured, master." ”
With that, he strode away. Although he is a clever boy, he has also come out of a bit of a heroic and dry cloud taste at this time.
Looking at the distant back of the brocade-clothed captain, Zhu Cihong also took a deep breath...... Everything is on track and seems to be on its own schedule...... But how are things going?
Personnel have been exhausted, and at this time, it is time to look at the sky.
……
……
"The minister has seen the emperor!"
Liu Zongmin hugged his fists and sat down in front of Li Zicheng with a big grin.
Li Zicheng also subconsciously raised his hand, he wanted to return the salute with a fist, but in the end he remembered his identity again, but with an unconscious wave of his hand, he put it down again.
A few days ago, it was agreed that the name of the new dynasty is called Dashun, and King Chuang will be enthroned on the first day of the new year, and the enthronement ceremony is scheduled to be held in the Forbidden City after the capital is laid, but in any case, King Chuang is already the king of the new dynasty.
"Ministers and Song Offer Advice......"
"Minister Li Yan ......"
"Knock on the emperor!"
Although the edict has not yet been officially announced, and the edict is still being prepared and written in the hands of Niu Jinxing, the ministers in front of the emperor have already changed their words and are very respectful.
An invisible wall has been erected in front of Li Zicheng.
Behind Liu Zongmin, there are two military advisors, one tall and one short, but they are not as arrogant as Liu Zongmin, both of them are honestly kneeling and kowtowing, and they are also very respectful when they salute.
"Alas, get up, military advisor, Lin Quan, get up quickly!"
Li Zicheng was indeed not used to being bowed down to, sat on the throne and stomped his feet lightly, and said: "We monarchs and ministers meet every day, don't make so much false courtesy." ”
"Yes, the emperor's grace is mighty, but the ministers must abide by the way of the ministers." Song Xiance's eyes were full of capability, although he was short and fat, but he seemed to have a news agency on his body, and the whole person was extremely flexible, and his understanding of Li Zicheng's thoughts was far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
He also has a set of gossip and five elements of Zhou Yi's theory, which is very self-justifying, and he may not be convinced of his strategy, but when it comes to Song Xiaozi's set of skills, everyone admires him, and they all say that he is the reincarnation of Liu Bowen who broke into the camp, and Song Xiance's status in the camp is not so much a strategy, but a set of skills in the rivers and lakes!
This is naturally his sorrow, but it is also the foundation of his life.
As for Li Yan next to Song Xiance, he was born in a family, Yunwen Yunwu, far-sighted, brilliant insights, amazing strategy in his chest, and good at leading troops, and the soldiers and horses under his command are already the most elite in the camp.
For such a subordinate, even Li Zicheng often feels that it is very difficult to control, and most of Li Yan's subordinates are recruited from Henan and Huguang, which is simply a system of its own, so Li Zicheng feels the most threatened. And he didn't have this feeling about the generals from Shaanxi, Li Yan only had a few thousand direct subordinates, and Liu Fangliang's army that was ordered to prepare to attack Hebei had exceeded 70,000 people.
The general Bai Wang also has seventy or eighty thousand direct subordinates in the Xiang and Deng areas.
It just doesn't feel right...... Although Liu Zongmin was standing for a while, Li Zicheng didn't care about it, and although Li Yan knelt in front of him, Li Zicheng had a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
He who stands seems to be kneeling, and he who is kneeling is as if he is standing!
"Strategist, Lin Quan, I'm in a hurry to see Gu, what's the matter? Haha, look at your appearance, and you want to talk to Gu about entering the army? ”
Li Zicheng suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and asked with a smile at the two main and deputy military divisions in front of him.
He was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a burly figure, and his long career as a horse made him full of strength, although he will be the lord of the new dynasty at this time, he is still wearing an arrow suit made of coarse blue cloth, and his right hand is also pressed on the sword at his waist.
As long as one is wrong, you can get up with force, and you can instantly chop and slash thorns!
And Li Zicheng can hold himself back, accumulate strength, sit still, and when talking to people, he seems to have to stand up at any time, but he always sits still, and between the opening and closing of his eyes, the light is clear, revealing a very shrewd color. The people who talk to him can't help but be attracted by his gestures, and then slowly be impressed by him, the rich and rustic accent of northern Shaanxi is not very important......
This kind of heroic posture was indeed lacking by the hundreds of leaders of the peasant uprising at that time, and it was also formed after Li Zicheng rose all the way from an ordinary general, half deliberately, half talented. In front of him, many Ming Dynasty officials and generals were not good at talking, even the old subordinates who had followed him for many years often felt nervous and afraid.
At a time like this, there are even fewer people who dare to say something contrary to his ears in front of him.
Li Yan is one of them, and the strategy of breaking into the army has been seen by all the people in the world. It is nothing more than crossing the river, taking Pingyang, and then going down to Taiyuan, along the line of Datong, Wuning, and Juyongguan, and going straight to Beijing.
Of course, if the army is strong, it can be divided in the north of Jin, one to attack the border town, one to penetrate the Bauhinia Pass, encircled on both sides, plus Hebei one road, three roads to the city of Beijing, and the division will attack.
This strategy is to work together to behead the Ming Dynasty, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty is still vast, speaking of which there are still millions of troops and hundreds of millions of people. However, the north is empty and unarmed, and it is difficult to reconcile, and after more than ten years of fighting, under the incessant propaganda, Li Zicheng's statement that he has a mandate of heaven has also been accepted by many people.
This time to directly attack the Beijing Division, I am afraid that the division of King Qin will be very limited.
Seize the Beijing Division, Zhengda Position, command the world, Jiangnan Lake can be passed on!
This is what Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing, Liu Zongmin and others think, and it has already been decided.
On Li Yan's side, he strongly opposed it. He suggested that Li Zicheng run Guanzhong, send troops to exterminate Zuo Liangyu, stabilize Huguang, send officials to manage the people, manage Henan, Shandong, Huguang, Guanzhong, Shanxi and other places, and wait for a year or two later, the rear will be stable, and then calmly seize the Beijing division.
With such a strategy, the time for Li Zicheng to officially become emperor and enter Beijing will be postponed for one or two years.
After several meetings and discussions, it was also at the insistence of the generals of Shaanxi, and with the support of Niu Jinxing and the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng had already made up his mind to enter the army after the New Year and never delay any longer.
Looking at the two people in front of him, he also muttered in his heart: "Lin Quan is good at everything, but he is too stubborn." Song Junshi is better, but he is not as good as Niu Qidong, this prime minister is really always following the meaning of loneliness, picking up the missing and making up for the shortcomings! ”
"The minister is here, it is a matter in Beijing, and there may be changes."
……
……
The summary, inference, and analysis of the news in detail at the front are all Song Xiance's errands, and of course, Li Yan is his deputy and has to share a lot.
After receiving the news from the Jingshi spies, both of them felt that the situation was a bit serious, and if they really set off a wave, it would be very detrimental to the great cause of the king.
Song Xiance is still a little timid when he encounters things, but Li Yan has always only known to walk upright, and when he encounters something, as long as it is what should be said, he will never flinch.
After receiving the tip, he said to Song Xiance: "Military division, if Chongzhen's father and son really flee south, I think that the army does not have to go out lightly, you can first calmly pass through Henan and Shandong, send liuguan, exterminate the remnants of the officers and soldiers, and calm the place, since the Beijing division is empty, why should we rush to fight?" ”
"That makes sense." Song Xiance nodded and said: "Besides, the Jingshi is still very worried about the arrival of the Eastern Prisoners, and this layer must not be worried. ”
"Yes!" Li Yan nodded vigorously and said, "This matter is extremely important, we have to see King Chuang immediately and make it clear." ”
Seeing him like this, Song Xiance only smiled slightly bitterly. Li Yan is good at everything, smart and gifted, but when it comes to himself, he is too unwilling to pay attention, or in other words, he doesn't put it in a critical place.
The generals of Shaanxi, for him, a foreign general in Henan, who is very popular with the people, have always been afraid of exclusion, and King Chuang has a few points to tolerate when employing people, and he will come out with a humble look, and now seeing that the great cause is about to be accomplished, how can Li Zicheng have so much patience to accept the challenge of an outside general who is not in his own system again and again?
It's just that it's important, and he can only come with him, but after hearing it, how will King Chuang cook?
