Gao Yang waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "We don't have to worry so much about these small details." %Top%.Point%.. In short, just leave everything to me. ”

What else can Emperor Chongzhen do? At this moment, his holy decree is useless when it comes out of Jingshi. The only thing that can be counted on is the mysterious Gao Yang.

"You say so absolutely, is the army ready? How long has it been since those new troops started training? Can such an army be taken out to fight? You can't go to war on your own, can you? On the way out of the palace, Yuan asked in a puzzled voice.

Gao Yang boarded the luxurious carriage that Emperor Chongzhen had configured for him, and glanced back at the tall and majestic Forbidden City. Shaking his head slightly, he said, "It's not a conflict at all. Now is the era of cold weapons, and I want to launch a battle with a scale of more than 100,000 people. The preparation alone takes at least several months. Sitting in the ornate carriage, Gao Yang took out a cigarette and lit it. Then he said: "And the Guan Ning Army has always been good at defense. They could hold on to Ningyuan City for at least a few months. By the time they can't hold it anymore and want to surrender, the autumn harvest should be over. For such a long period of time, there should be no problem for the new army to initially form combat effectiveness. Moreover, Jingshi and Ningyuan's side were so close that the army would soon be able to support them. ”

"That's the idea you struck." The origin said thoughtfully: "Then isn't the number of troops a little small now?" After all, the country is so big. There are enemies on all sides, and I am afraid that this army will not be enough. ”

"It's a little less." Gao Yang nodded and said softly, "The second wave of conscription plans will start immediately." Don't recruit in the city, go to the countryside, there are many bankrupt peasants who have no food. Recruit those simple people and give them more food, and it is useless for them to ask for silver now. ”

Things did not deviate from the expected trajectory. At Shenyang, Dorgon began to stock up war supplies and gather troops. Wu Sangui also began to store grain and strengthen the city wall in Ningyuan. At the same time, he kept sending distress documents to Jingshi.

Goyang's second conscription program began. The biochemical warriors rushed to the countryside near Jingshi with convoys of food trucks carrying food under the escort of the new army to recruit ordinary farmers who could not eat.

The Ming Dynasty's control over the local government was limited to the county seat. The countryside is generally managed by the clan forces themselves. As long as they can pay enough taxes every year, the government generally does not take care of things.

In the event of a sudden crisis, such as famine and war, such a social production model would often be unable to sustain the entire village. All of them are suffering together. Just like Li Zicheng's army swept all over the city outside the city before, many villages were damaged.

When the bio-warriors came to the villages with food. The elders of the clan who had the right to speak immediately agreed to the plan of exchanging people for food.

There is no land to grow in various villages, and there are more idlers who can't marry a wife and can't eat enough. The idea of preference for sons over daughters in China has a long history. Boys can do heavy work, and they can also pass on the lineage, even when the village fights for water. So most of the time in Huaxia, there are more men and fewer women.

The entire area that can be cultivated in the vicinity of Beizhili has already been developed. When there are many people and few places, it is natural that many people will not have enough to eat and will go hungry. Most of these people are the youngest sons of their families, and it is not their turn to divide the family property or marry a wife. Spend all day loitering around the village. Naturally, everyone is disliked. At this time of great calamity, Gao Yang's conscription is simply a timely rain for the townships.

In this way, Gao Yang exchanged a large amount of food for nearly 30,000 young soldiers! These farmers who have laid down their hoes will soon become the mainstay of the country after months of devil training!

Gao Yang is convinced of this. Because he is using modern scientific training methods that have been tested by countless people over a long period of time. Just look at the modern army, no matter what kind of person you are, after entering the army and training for good students, there will inevitably be earth-shaking changes.

In addition, compared to this era, it is abundant to the luxury of unlimited material supplies. Those young people with rough skin, thin bodies, and vegetables on their faces will soon be raised after a period of time of conditioning! That's the benefit of a good supply! As long as they cultivate the fearless courage of true soldiers under the control of strict training and military discipline, this army equipped with advanced gunpowder weapons has no rival in this world.

......

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, spring goes to summer, and then the hot summer is about to leave. Autumn is just around the corner.

During these months, many things happened that affected the world. After returning to Xi'an, Li Zicheng in the west waged a large-scale struggle against the landlord class in various places under his rule. The kulaks, the landlords, the officials, and the royal relatives all over the country were all their targets.

The techniques used are similar to what they have done in the history of Kyoshi. first arrested all the people, and then let the family take money to ransom them. Those who are bankrupt may be able to leave a small life, but they are not given enough money. Or simply don't give it all to a good end. I don't know how many were tortured to death.

Li Zicheng has no way to do this. His slogan for fighting the world is: "When the king comes, he will not pay for food." "At this time he had not yet unified the country, and there was opposition everywhere. The peasants were the biggest body supporting him, and Li Zicheng naturally couldn't ask them to collect taxes at this time. That's shaking your foundations.

But he had so many mouths under his command to eat, and he also had to receive silver. In this case. Li Zicheng could only target those wealthy classes. Anyway, these low-born people under Li Zicheng really hate the wealthy class, and doing these things is called a hearty one.

All of a sudden, the cries within the ruling range of the entire Great Shun Dynasty shook the sky, and all those who could run ran away. Those who really can't run away are also trying their best to find someone to ask for help. The most letters for help were naturally sent to Jingshi. Emperor Chongzhen, who was furious, also found Gao Yang and asked him to lead troops to exterminate Li Zicheng. Of course, Gao Yang refused, and the order of priority still had to be clear. Not to mention that the training of the new army has not yet been completed, if you really want to fight, you will naturally have to beat Houjin who is next to you first.

Li Zicheng's side was in chaos for the time being. Another famous leader of the Liukou in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong, personally led the army to Sichuan in January in order to avoid Li Zicheng, who occupied the Central Plains.

Zhang Xianzhong successively conquered Kuizhou, Liangshan, Zhongzhou and Fuzhou. After defeating the troops of the general soldier Cao Ying, he immediately broke through the Fotu Pass. Qin Liangyu, the general of Sichuan, led his troops to meet him, but he was also defeated and forced to retreat to the stone pillar, failing to stop Zhang Xianzhong's troops from marching towards the interior of Sichuan.

Zhang Xianzhong captured Luzhou in June and soon after occupied Chongqing. Kill Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui, Chen Shiqi, the governor Chen Shiqi, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, and Wang Xingjian, the prefect. In July, he personally led the army towards Chengdu. And in early August, Chengdu was surrounded.

On the ninth day of the first month of August, Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates and the inner and outer parts of the city successfully captured the important town of Chengdu. Zhu Zhishu, the king of Chengdu, Zhu Zhilu, the king of Taiping, and their families immediately committed suicide. Long Wenguang, the governor of Sichuan, Liu Zhibo, the governor of the imperial history, and Zhang Jimeng, the deputy envoy of the inspection, were captured and killed. After Zhang Xianzhong captured Chengdu, he soon occupied most of Sichuan, changing Chengdu to Xijing and founding the country to Daxi.

Except for these two extremely famous chief-level bigwigs. In the land of the Central Plains, there are still many small streams of gangsters galloping across Henan, Shandong, Nanzhili and other places, stirring the whole world into a pot of porridge. As the lifeline of the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Canal has long been completely cut off, and almost all of the entire Jingshi Zuojin and Beizhili are struggling to survive on Gaoyang's subsidies before the autumn harvest.

The impatient Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but find Gao Yang several times and asked him to send troops to quell rebellions everywhere. Gao Yang, on the other hand, resolutely refused to agree. At the end of June, Dolgon's army had already marched to Ningyuan City, surrounding the fortified fortress that hung alone and outside the pass. At this time, of course, it is necessary to defeat the Houjin army outside the gate first.

Gao Yang estimated that with the ability of the Guanning army to defend the city, Wu Sangui could defend it until the end of the year. However, just in case, he still decided to attack outside the gate in mid-August to rescue Wu Sangui's department. If they haven't surrendered yet, or if they've been breached.

To be honest, the blown Ningjin defense line is actually a big joke. From Shanhaiguan through Ningyuan to the north through Songshan and Jinzhou to the Daling River, the entire defense line is about 400 miles long. This line of defense, which has been built with countless manpower and material resources, is in fact digging its own grave.

Once these castles are besieged, they are typical of isolated cities. Either wait for reinforcements to come to the rescue, or wait for the food to run out and surrender or starve to death.

Look at the series of battles recorded in the history books. Several battles of the Daling River, the battles of Songshan, and several battles of Jinzhou. Which time was not the castle besieged, and then the Ming Dynasty gathered troops to come to the rescue, and then was defeated by the Later Jin army? Huang Taiji has already perfected the encirclement point to help play! Almost all of the strong armies and some famous generals of the Ming Dynasty were buried in the Liaoxi Corridor in the rescue again and again. The consequence is that the Ming army is getting weaker and weaker the more it fights! Later, even the peasant army in the Guannai could not defeat it.

This way of passive defense makes no sense at all. Since you want to guard it, then just guard the mountain customs directly. Either you will fight, gather all the troops that can fight, and fight to the death in Liaoxi and Houjin. The sooner you play, the better, and you don't necessarily lose. It's just that at that time, the whole Ming Dynasty was frightened by the battle of Salhu, and some people were like a hanging river boasting about what to do for a few years, and the young Emperor Chongzhen also believed it. In the end, he decided to dig his own grave.

Either way, it's fine. The last thing you should do is to do the refueling tactics again and again. Little by little, it weakened itself, but strengthened the enemy. Many Ming troops were captured by the Houjin in many wars, and most of them became the coated servants of the Houjin. turned around and became the vanguard of the attack on the Ming Dynasty.

The same is true of the tactics this time. Wu Sangui was besieged in Ningyuan City, and the people who rescued him became Gao Yang and a brand new army! (To be continued.) )
