Chapter 916: Letter from the Flying Pigeon



"If the Shi Pavilion Department orders you to go on a northern expedition at the beginning, how can you restore the situation for Donglinban. Visit:.. In the past few months, Donglin has been 'forced' by Ma Ge Lao to the end of the mountains and rivers, and he urgently needs a big victory! Fu Shan said suddenly.

This Fu Qingzhu has always spoken harshly, and he never concealed his thoughts in front of Sun Yuan: "Donglin's defeat is their own defeat." They think they are upright men and gentlemen, and their egos are inflated, thinking that the whole world is under their mouths, but in fact they are just a group of arrogant scholars. ”

"Whether it was defeated by the eunuchs twenty years ago, or lost at the hands of Ma Yaocao and Ruan Yuanhai, in the final analysis, there is no real strength at hand-

。 "To put it bluntly, this force is the military, the police, and the secret service.

Only in the barrel of a gun can political power emerge, and the dispute between Fu and Lu has fully demonstrated this point.

Although the Donglin people are in high positions and power, in addition to having no soldiers at hand, if you think about it carefully, in fact, they really have no merits in the Hongguang Dynasty, and they naturally have no weight in the emperor's mind.

Therefore, Shi Kefa, who is the only surviving fruit of Donglin, decided to launch the Northern Expedition alone after the breakdown of the Ming and Qing peace talks, creating momentum for Donglin, in order to save the political life of the Donglin Party group.

Of course, in his opinion, Sun Yuan, as the number one person on the periphery of the Ma Party, would definitely contradict himself in the Northern Expedition. This can be seen from the fact that he was rejected for Huang Degong's auxiliary wing in the previous time.

So, Shi Kefa decided to go it alone.

Fu Shan glanced at Sun Yuan again: "Taichu seems to be very anxious about the Central Plains of the Outstanding Military Strategy!" In fact, according to the subordinates, it is okay for the Shi Pavilion Department to take the initiative to go on the Northern Expedition, and this time the army in Henan Gaojie will definitely return in vain. ”

Hearing him ask, Sun Yuan smiled wryly. As a modern man with foresight, he naturally knew that Gao Jie would die in this battle. The problem is that he can't say it to Fu Shan.

Huang You disagreed: "The green master disagrees with this, and now the thieves are defeated by Jiannu, and the main force is compressed in Guanzhong." The two armies are fighting fiercely, and there is no news from there now. The current Henan is extremely empty, and the thieves do not have many soldiers and horses. High outstanding soldiers, the legend can be determined. ”

Fu Shan asked Huang You again: "Brother Huang, what do you say is the final result of the battle in Guanzhong, the thieves were defeated like that in Gyeonggi, can Li Zicheng hold Xi'an and Tongguan?" How could he be, and how could he be driven from Beijing to Shaanxi by Jiannu, and lose a large area of land in Hebei and Shanxi. ”

Huang You was speechless for a while, he and Lu Xiangsheng had fought with the peasant army in the south, and it was naturally clear what the army had become. [Marshmallow] and Jiannu's combat effectiveness is a little weaker than that of the Ningxiang Army, and in terms of the degree of bravery and individual combat ability, it is even stronger than the Ningxiang Army. The strength of the Yangzhou town army lies in military discipline and new tactics and new weapons.

If you don't go out, Jiannu fights the army, and it can only be described by the words "destroying the withering and decaying".

Fu Shan continued: "As analyzed by Taichu before, after Jiannu takes Shaanxi, he will inevitably follow the thieves into Henan, and then there will be a thief army and a soldier of Jiannu in Henan

。 If you really want to pass through Henan and the Central Plains, the Ming Dynasty should send the main force of the four towns to take Kaifeng along the line of Xuzhou and Guide, and Huguang's Zuoliang 'jade' will go from Xiangyang to Nanyang and occupy western Henan. Our enemy is the whole army, the main force of the Jiannu Eight Banners, this is already a national war. ”

"The national war should be done with all its might, but the Shi Pavilion Department only mentions a partial division and 'wants' the main force of the Eight Banners, and all the thieves are open, and failure is inevitable."

"If you lose, do you have to transfer troops and horses from other military towns to make up for it, isn't this a refueling tactic?" Fu Shan was greatly disdainful: "In my opinion, is this Shi Pavilion Department simply a 'door' layman in terms of fighting?" ”

Fu Shan: "Okay, let's assume again. Even if Li Zicheng is guarding Xi'an and Tongguan in Shaanxi, he is anxious with Jiannu. But let's not forget, there is also a Jiannu army stationed on the Yellow River north of Kaifeng, which adds a bit of uncertainty to the situation in Henan. ”

He pointed to the map and said, "No one dares to guarantee that Jiannu will not cross the Yellow River and intervene in the war in Henan." ”

"Hauge." Huang You came to his senses at this time, and his body sank.

That's right, since Jiannu entered Beijing, their main enemy was Li Zicheng, who was in a great rout. In order to avoid fighting on two fronts, the Manchu government ordered the soldiers who entered Shandong and Shanxi not to cross the Yellow River, so as not to clash with the Southern Ming army.

Moreover, the Manchu Qing had just won Shanxi, Shandong, and Hebei, and needed to digest the results. After all, Shanxi and Hebei are better. At the beginning, the army in Shandong had established a complete set of political organizations, and since last year, anti-Qing movements have sprung up one after another in various parts of Shandong. Not only did they break into the military and political affairs, but also the gentry and common people who were interested in the Ming Dynasty also organized a lot of anti-Qing teams, which made Jiannu a little embarrassed.

Before Shandong was digested and the northwest side was not freed up, the power of Jiannu to cross the Yellow River was somewhat insufficient.

Therefore, now Haoge is stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River with a team of soldiers and horses, closely monitoring the every move of the forces in Shandong and Henan.

Fu Shan's words have been made very clear, Jiannu is extremely ambitious, and this time he entered China, that is, he wanted to compete with Li Zicheng's Ming Dynasty for the world, and he would not leave if he came. The Central Plains is a battleground for soldiers, and once the northwest side divides the victory or defeat, the Haoge army will inevitably be used as a sharp knife to 'insert' the Central Plains.

It is now February, and there is no news yet because the northwest 'traffic' station of the detective factory has been destroyed. However, if nothing else, Li Zicheng should have been defeated.

Hauge could cross the Yellow River at any time and join the war for Henan

Fu Shan: "Yes, the pseudo-Prince of Qingsu, in charge of household affairs, Aixin Jueluo?" Hauge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji. ”

Huang You: "How many people does Hauge have on hand?" ”

Sun Yuan: "There are about two to three thousand Bayala soldiers, and three to five thousand new annexed troops. Don't look at Gao Jie, he can be regarded as able to fight, but he is afraid that he is not Haoge's opponent against Shang Jiannu. ”

He stood up and said, "The Shi Pavilion Department has done a foolish thing, although Gao Jie is domineering, he is a rare person in the main battle in the military towns. Although he has never liked Gao Jie, this person dares to show his sword to the enemy, and he can be regarded as a good old Qin, a man. If Gao Jie is defeated, the situation of our Ming Northern Expedition will inevitably be uncertain. So, no matter what, I have to think of a way to get Gao Jie to go back...... Is it in time? ”

"After retiring, is it possible?" Huang You: "After all, the mountain harrier got the order of the Shi Pavilion Department. Now, the Cabinet Department is personally sitting in Xuzhou as a superintendent. Although Gao Jie is afraid of Taichu, he may not be willing to listen to your advice. ”

He hesitated for a moment and proposed: "Otherwise, our army will also go on a northern expedition in advance." And go to the imperial court, and ask Ma Ge Lao to order Huang Degong and Liu Zeqing to cooperate? ”

Fu Shan also agreed with this opinion: "However, how important the Northern Expedition is, hundreds of thousands of troops are moving, and it takes a month or two to prepare just to prepare, which is not so easy. ”

Huang You: "Can you send a partial division out of Henan first, or the cavalry will go first?" ”

Sun Yuan was depressed in his heart, this was not Haoge's crossing of the river at all, but Xu Dingguo's plot against Gao Jie, which had nothing to do with whether he sent troops or not. The question is, should this be made clear to the two gentlemen?

At this time, a spy from the detective factory approached, holding a scroll of paper with a flying pigeon in his hand.

Liang Man's warehouse took it, only glanced at it, and waved his hand to let the spy retreat with a calm face.

His face was like sinking water: "Lord Hou, two gentlemen, the battle of Shaanxi is over, and the winner has been decided." ”

Sun Yuan hurriedly grabbed the paper roll, looked at it, and handed it to Huang You beside him.

Exactly like the real history, Li Zicheng was defeated, lost the fundamental land of Shaanxi, and the entire northwest was completely pacified by the Qing army. The main force of Jiannu's Eight Banners Army is now completely freed up, and Nanming will become the primary goal of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to unify the world from now on

After the Battle of Huaiqing, in view of the situation in the northwest, Manchu slowed down the pace of his southward movement and decided to deal with Li Zicheng first.

After the Duoduo army turned to Huaiqing, the invading army was defeated, and the master and slave retreated. The Qing army crossed the Yellow River from Mengjin to Shaanxi and Zhou, broke the army Zhang Youzeng, and captured Lingbao. On the twentieth of December, Duoduo arrived twenty miles from Tongguan and set up camp. In the beginning, Li Zicheng's attention was mainly focused on the Azig army in northern Shaanxi. In the winter of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng constantly transferred the army to northern Shaanxi. First, northern Shaanxi is the passage between Shaanxi and Shanxi, and second, Li Zicheng's ancestral tomb is there.

In December of the same year, Li Zicheng passed through the 'Se' water from Tongzhou and went north to Yan'an, but was defeated by Azig and fled back to Baishui.

After the defeat, Li Zicheng mobilized the troops of Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong and others to help, hoping to resist the stormy attack of Jiannu in northern Shaanxi.

At this time, Li Zicheng did not realize that if Duoduo entered Shaanxi from Tongguan, he would face the dangerous situation of being attacked by Jiannu from the north and south and fighting on both sides.

When Duoduo's army drove to Tongguan, Li Zicheng realized that the situation was not good. However, at this time, it was too late, and the strategic organizations were completely passive, not only did the grain and grass continue to be heavy, and the morale was low, and the soldiers and horses that drove to Tongguan were only 130,000.

Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin were 'made' by the Qing army from two ways, and they didn't know whether to go north or south.

Because the Azig army diverted to the 'Mongolian' ancient Tumut and Ordos places, and robbed a large number of camels and horses of the 'Mongolian' ancients along the way, it 'provoked' the strong resistance of the steppe men, and the troops marched slowly.

At this time, Li Zicheng made a late decision and rushed to Tongguan with reinforcements.

On December 29, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Battle of Tongguan began. Liu Zongmin took the lead in leading his troops out of the pass to 'engage' with Duoduo, but was beaten all over the ground and returned to Tongguan in embarrassment.

At this time, after successive defeats, the morale of the invading army had been completely lost.

Besides, it has not been two years since the army was formalized, and on the whole it is still a surprisingly bad army. At this time, the Qing Dynasty was on the rise, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners were at the time of their strongest combat effectiveness in history.

The army in the west mountain at sunset faced the Qing army in the Japanese side, and the result can be imagined.
