Volume 2 The South Chapter 344 Decisive Victory (19...
"However," seeing Li Zicheng's appearance, Song Xiance shook his head again and said: "We are now beaten in the south, and there are at least five or six days to go to Yulin. ”
The army has been almost cut off from food and grass, and there are already many battalion leaders who are killing war horses to feed the soldiers, and this short-sighted behavior will be stopped in the past, and it is better to starve people for a few days than to kill horses easily. :.Fastest update text chapters:
But now in addition to the fiasco, the whole army has no hope and no direction, and under this gloomy mood, killing horses is only a trivial matter, and the signs of military discipline corruption are also clearly visible.
The military discipline of the Shun army was not very good originally, after all, it was the foundation of the thieves, but thirteen years later, in order to win the world, special emphasis was placed on military discipline, and the so-called entry into Beijing was a military discipline that affected combat effectiveness, which was purely the imagination of ignorant literati.
It has only been a few days since the Beijing Division was stationed, and it is true that many soldiers have corrupted military discipline, but if they can completely destroy the combat effectiveness of an army of 100,000 people, it is not dizzy nonsense, what else can it be?
But military discipline is not good, just stop at snatching some goods, or requisition a few women, dare to disobey the officials, fight in public, or disobey military orders, then still don't dare.
But now I look at it, there are crooked soldiers everywhere, and no one gives way when the generals come, they all look like they are standing with their eyebrows crossed.
If this situation continues, there will definitely be a big mess, and the introduction is a complete lack of food.
After leading the troops for a long time, Li Zicheng understood the situation in front of him at a glance, and his expression was very painful: "It seems that the sky is absolutely smooth, and the sky is absolutely unacceptable to me." ”
Looking at Song Xiance, who was speechless, Li Zicheng was desperate in his heart, and finally said what he had just thought: "Military advisor." Before I summoned you, I was thinking that the soldiers were not scattered because I was here. Once I'm dead, everyone will either come down or leave. or Lasan, it's not ugly on the face. Especially the generals, who have been with me for a long time, and if it's not good, they just abandon me. But the current situation ......"
Before he finished speaking, Song Xiance didn't say anything, but when the monarch and ministers were relatively teary-eyed, someone suddenly came on horseback, and when everyone was walking in the mud, this kind of behavior was really annoying, at this time. Even the general didn't dare to do this kind of offended personnel, just when the people on both sides were very dissatisfied, looking at the man on horseback, when the fierce aura in his eyes became stronger and stronger, the man immediately fell off the horse beside Li Zicheng, climbed Li Zicheng's horse's head, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the deputy military division has caught up!" ”
"He? I'm not telling him to keep the back road. Now that the Tartar is cutting us off, how can he catch up? Unexpectedly, Lin Quan is really loyal to Dashun and me! ”
It was Li Shuangxi who reported the news, and when Li Yan was mentioned before. This young general was influenced by many generals from Shaanxi, and because he was arrogant, he didn't take Li Yan seriously.
When he mentioned it at this time, his face was full of joy, and Li Zicheng's eyes were also very moved.
After all, Li Yan is a talented person, and he is not from Shaanxi, so everyone is jealous. Li Zicheng was even more vigilant, this time the big battle, Li Yan was not used, only sent him to guard the back road, but the army was defeated, Li Yan not only did not go or surrender, but also followed.
"Alas. It's a pity that the times are different now, and even if Lin Quan comes along, there is no way to show his talents here. ”
"Your Majesty," Li Zicheng babbled, and Li Shuangxi hurriedly interrupted. said loudly: "There are more than 3,000 soldiers under the command of the deputy military division, and they are still very strong. And he came with 6,000 stone of grain! ”
"What?" Li Zicheng was overjoyed, and his spirit returned to his body at once.
When he saw Li Yan and thousands of mules and horses, Li Zicheng was so happy that he cried, holding Li Yan's hand, which sounded for a while, but he couldn't speak.
"The rock is bold, and he thinks about defeat before he wins, so he prepared these mules, donkeys, camels, horses, and grain and grass in advance, and brought a lot of gold and silver." In Li Yan's eyes, he still smiled calmly: "With these military resources, the emperor can bring many people back to Yulin." And the road ahead can also be much more calm. ”
"In the future? There must be someone in the forest springs to teach me! ”
"I have some ideas." Li Yan said calmly: "Fang is down today, it is impossible for the emperor to want to raise his strength again and reign over the world." ”
"Yes, I know it."
If Li Yan said such things within a few months, Li Zicheng would be furious, and even ask someone to take Li Yan down on the spot. But to this day, Dashun no longer has any hope of winning the country, which is also an irrefutable fact. It's just that when he answered, as the emperor of Dashun, there was still a bitterness that couldn't be erased.
"However, the world is so big, and it is not only one Beijing, or the Central Plains, Huguang, Nanjing! Now Yulin is in hand, the emperor can lead the army to rest in the Yulin area, the Qing army is in a hurry to go south, and also knows that our army is unable to fight again, so only a few will be left to contain, and most of them will go south after resting. This is a rare opportunity, and our army cannot let it go. ”
"But where do you go after resting, where is the world so big?"
"To the west!" Li Yan smiled, his eyes were also full of sincerity: "All the way to the west, the land of Ganzhou and Lanzhou is already in the hands of my court, and it is extremely difficult to travel all the way, and in ten or twenty years, whether it is the Ming or Qing Dynasty, no army will be sent to the west." We are based on the east of Yumen and focus on the western regions! ”
"The Western Regions?"
"Yes. The Western Regions is the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and some people don't understand, thinking that it is still a very bitter place now, but in fact, it is not. All the way to the west, there are tens of millions of acres of fertile land, there are cities of more than 1,000 sizes, the hometown of the Han and Tang dynasties, now in the hands of foreign races, the combat power is not as good as the Xiongnu Turks, and the division of autonomy, our army is so large, it will be able to easily destroy its tribes and countries, and when the time comes, the base is thousands of miles, and it can still stand on its own. Even if the Ming or Qing Dynasty is strong, the Western Regions will not be able to come in a day or two, even if we come, we can learn from Wu Yue in the early Song Dynasty, the descendants of the emperor and our Dashun, and still be able to lose the title of rich and noble! ”
These words are so important!
This is tantamount to Li Yan pointing out a path for everyone's future development, and it is a brand-new road that everyone has never thought of in their understanding.
In the past, they fought back and forth, fighting for the dragon chair in the Central Plains and Beijing.
Now it's a battle to win, originally thinking about surrendering or being a common man again, or dying and pulling down. What Li Yan is providing now is a new world that he has never thought of at all.
"Is this done?" Wu Ruyi rushed over and listened to one by one. After saying a word, he smiled again: "Huizi are all useless goods, a few people against a few, and dare to shout, the whole village fights, and they haven't won against our Han people, as soon as our army arrives, I heard that the Western Regions are all Huizi, so isn't it for us to knead?" ”
In northern Shaanxi, there are quite a lot of Hui people, and there are many disputes with the Han people, but even if the government does not support it, the Han and Hui fight, and the Hui people really have not taken any advantage.
In fact, the Western Regions are mostly of different races, and the return that people from northern Shaanxi have seen are two different things, but Li Yan didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.
"I think so."
Liu Zongmin was also carried on a stretcher, and said at this time: "If we continue to fight, we can only fight more and more, and according to Lin Quan's method, we can still hold the group together, and the banner can still be fought." ”
"The map of the Western Regions, the mountains and rivers, and the ministers have also studied." Song Xiance swept away the frustration just now, and he became calm again.
"Let's listen to the emperor."
"Your Majesty will decide!"
All around were the generals who rushed to hear the news, and even Niu Jinxing rushed to hear the news. His god is complicated, because his son is still in Xiangyang, but even so, this prime minister has no objection. After all, what Li Yan provided was a way to live.
"Your Majesty, the queen has brought a large number of craftsmen, gold, silver, cotton, cloth, and gunpowder, all of which have been transported to Yulin. There is also a lot of food, using these to fight for the Central Plains with others, we can't do it, fight for the Western Regions, it's always enough. ”
Li Guo is naturally also the person who knows and agrees with the plan to go west, the war preparations, and Gao Yigong participates in it, of course, it is Li Yan who convinces Empress Gao, otherwise, there is no way to deceive Li Zicheng to do so much preparations.
"What else can I say?"
Li Zicheng's eyes were full of confusion, unwillingness, and some anger that was manipulated. But more about relief and ease, and a little ambition to conquer the unknown.
Looking at everyone, he said loudly: "Let's go south and north, I'm afraid we have walked more than 100,000 miles in more than ten years, and we only have a few thousand miles to the west, what don't you dare to go?" Brothers, come with me to Dàng again! ”
"Yes!" Everyone hugged their fists together and answered, although there were many people who didn't know where the Western Regions were, and there were also many people who cherished their homeland, but they still hugged their fists together and replied together: "I wish to go west with the emperor, although I will die without regrets!" ”
……
……
"Nonsense, nonsense, it's all fucking nonsense!"
Li Zicheng did not go south all the way to the south as Azig expected, but shrunk his army and hid in Yulin.
It was Wu Sangui and other Han troops who were responsible for interception, I don't know if it was because of the combat strength or if there was any dissent, anyway, the remnants of the Shun army were sent back to the north.
Yulin is an important town on the nine sides, and after the Shun army shrank to Yulin, it joined the original people, and the number was about 200,000. Although most of them are frightened birds, unable to fight again, and many of them are old and weak, it is also a fool's dream to attack the city with the miserable situation of the Qing army.
When the battle was like this, Azig also came back with an order to ask for credit, and when Dolgon saw it, he felt a wave of adverse energy surge, and he couldn't bear it for a while, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Regent, Regent!"
On one side of the shì stood Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan me, the shì guards stood outside, and Suke Saha was also waiting outside, in case there was an accident for Dolgon, the two Hanchen couldn't say clearly, and they had to be martyred.
"Don't panic, I'm fine."
It was only a brief moment of weakness that Dolgon regained his aloof and cold expression. Looking at the two of them and their confidant Hanchen, he ordered: "The reward and reward that should be given to Prince Ying will be sent now, and the soldiers who are dead and injured should be compensated." The army of the Western Expedition will be repaired in Xi'an for the time being, and the Han army can be sent to watch Yulin. Ye Chen's department, first go to Shangzhou and Dengzhou, and before April, I want to see them hit Jingxiang! ”!。
