Chapter 878 Occupied Luoyang, I didn't want to leave
Today's third update is delivered! , Zhang Zhun said expressionlessly: "Take it away!" ”
A few big men came up, set up King Fu, and dragged him out mercilessly.
Outside the Fuwang Mansion, countless Luoyang people have been waiting for a long time. These Luoyang people, when the Tiger Ben army entered the city, had already spontaneously organized themselves and were ready to find trouble with King Fu. They are basically people living at the bottom of Luoyang, living a precarious life every day. Not only do they have their own land, but they don't even have the opportunity to do odd jobs.
Because of the severe shortage of food, some of their children and relatives have just starved to death. In some cases, almost the entire family was going to starve to death, and those who survived were all favored by God. After the Tiger Ben Army conquered Luoyang, they opened a warehouse to release grain, and they were the ones who responded most positively.
In the past, they were bullied by King Fu all day long, and a dog in King Fu's mansion dared to bully them. Forced by the intimidation of the imperial court, they did not dare to rise up and resist, "they could only endure in silence."
Now "with the support of the Tiger Ben Army, their waist pole suddenly straightened up."
"It's coming!"
"Shoot him!"
"Eat its flesh!"
As soon as King Fu was dragged out, there was an angry roar of the people outside, like a volcanic eruption, lightning and thunder, and outsiders couldn't hear any other sounds at all. The angry people, like a burning flame, instantly swallowed up King Fu's fat body. Subsequently, "King Fu's family was also swallowed up."
After a while, the winger came in helplessly, and said in a bitter report: "My lord, before he was dragged to the stage, King Fu was torn apart by the angry people......"
Zhang Zhun nodded expressionlessly, and said slowly: "All dead?" ”
The winger nodded and said, "It's all dead." Thirty-four people in total. Nothing was left. ”
Zhang Zhun nodded" and said casually: "Self-inflicted, you can't live." Being in the fire and mouth, but not perceiving the danger, who is to blame. It doesn't matter if you die, end your life of sin as soon as possible, and hope to be a good person in the next life. ”
With a slight wave of his hand, the winger withdrew.
"My lord, King Fu is gone, Chongzhen is going crazy."
Wang Shide said in a low voice.
"Isn't that what we expected?"
Zhang Zhun said indifferently.
Regarding the handling of King Fu, "Zhang Zhun has already decided. I won't kill him with my own hands, because there is no need for this at all, and besides, there is someone more qualified to kill King Fu than Zhang Zhun, and that is the people of Luoyang. For what King Fu did, the people of Luoyang would never let him go. As long as he handed him over to the people of Luoyang, King Fu's sinful life would come to an end. As it turns out, it is.
Of course, in Chongzhen's view, there is no difference between Zhang Zhun's crimes. King Fu was killed" This account still has to be counted on Zhang Zhun's head. Emperor Chongzhen is definitely going to go crazy. After learning the news of King Fu's killing, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely order the imperial army in the Central Plains Theater to "all launch an attack on the Tiger Ben army."
In general, in the Central Plains Theater, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was still relatively strong. The Qin army commanded by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, the Huguang army and the Liaodong army commanded by Yang Sichang, and the Jin army commanded by Wang Kun and Shi Kefa "all the troops combined" exceeded 300,000 people. In particular, the Liaodong Army, which was under the command of Yang Sichang, had the strongest combat effectiveness.
In the Central Plains, the Tiger Ben Army actually had only four battalions of cavalry, with a total strength of no more than 6,000 people. Strictly speaking, "the cavalry of these four battalions" is the mobile force of the Tiger Army, and it cannot be stationed in a certain place for a long time. Therefore, "once the imperial army counterattacks Luoyang, the Tiger Ben army will definitely take the initiative to withdraw."
However, "things seem to have changed a little bit at this point. Prior to this, Zhang Zhun did not consider that the people of Luoyang would welcome the arrival of the Tiger Ben Army so much, and they would have such ardent expectations for the Tiger Ben Army. In the face of the long-awaited people of Luoyang, the Tiger Ben Army will leave as soon as they come, which seems to be a little disappointing!
King Fu died, and instantly narrowed the connection between the people of Luoyang and the Tiger Army, coupled with the implementation of the Juntian Order, "The foundation of the Tiger Ben Army in Luoyang's hearts can be said to be very strong." In order to maintain their own fields, the people of Luoyang will definitely let go. In other words, it is not completely impossible for the Tiger Ben Army to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang. "There are enough soldiers, and there is a large amount of food left by King Fu, and it is not impossible to block the attack of the imperial army with four battalions of the Huben cavalry, plus the city defense army organized by Luoyang itself. Even the Tartars can't break through a simple town like Dongjiabao, can the official army actually break through Luoyang?
At present, the entire territory of Shandong has been controlled by the Tiger Army, and most of the area of Beizhili "is also in the hands of the Tiger Army. What's more, "the Tiger Ben Army will enter Henan sooner or later." Entering at this time also seems to be a good option.
Judging from the map, it seems that Luoyang and Shandong are separated, but in fact, they are not. Luoyang and Rang, to the east, can be connected by the Yellow River. Outside the north gate of Luoyang, "is the Yellow River wharf." The Yellow River is often cut off and unsuitable for navigation, but in some sections of the river, it does not hinder navigation. In particular, this section from Shandong to Luoyang is completely passable by boat.
As long as the boat can pass, as long as the weapons and ammunition can be sent to Luoyang, the Tiger Ben army is in Luoyang, it can hold on for a long time. Luoyang itself has enough grain and does not need to be transported from outside, which saves the Tiger Ben Army the biggest transportation task.
With the launch rate of the Tiger Ben Gun, the consumption rate of Mini bullets is actually not very fast. The two ships of Mini bullets can basically be used for several months. As for explosives packs and the like, if you bring two ships over, you can use them for a long time.
In addition to ships, the Tiger Ben cavalry could also link Shandong and Luoyang. The current number of cavalry of the Tiger Army is already considerable, even compared with the cavalry of the Liaodong Army, it will not be too weak in terms of numbers. Especially with the continuous arrival of a large number of war horses from the ancient tribe of Méng to the vicinity of Jinzhou, the Huben army could also expand more cavalry.
The cavalry set out from Shandong and went to Luoyang, which only took three days. It is entirely possible to cooperate with each other strategically. Once the Tiger Army is stationed in Luoyang, the Tiger Army will inevitably station a considerable number of cavalry troops in Yanzhou Mansion and other places in order to provide reinforcements to Luoyang at any time. And the imperial court army was intimidated by the threat of the cavalry of the Tiger Army, and they must not dare to let go of the desperate attack on Luoyang, not to mention, in Henan, the imperial court has a more headache, that is, Kaifeng Mansion. Kaifeng is the seat of the political envoy of Henan Province, and the king of Zhou is sealed here. After the Tiger Ben Army took control of Shandong, Kaifeng was directly under the guns of the Tiger Ben Army. Starting from Cao County, Yanzhou Prefecture, Kuaima can kill Kaifeng in half a day.
If the Tiger Ben Army officially passes through Henan, "the first thing that the imperial court thinks of is not to recover Luoyang, but how to keep Kaifeng and the King of Zhou." In this way, there is a Luoyang in the Huben army, and there is a Kaifeng in the imperial army, and everyone ties one hand to each other to fight in the ring, and the scene will be very exciting. Once the Tiger Ben Army takes Kaifeng, then Henan will be considered to have fallen under the control of the Tiger Ben Army.
"Li Yan, what's the situation?"
Suddenly seeing Li Yan coming in, Zhang Zhun asked casually.
Li Yan's main task "was to implement the Juntian Order in Luoyang. Li Yan is a person with a lot of literary talent, so Zhang Zhun handed over all kinds of public notice affairs to Li Yan to be responsible. This can be regarded as putting a burden on Li Yan. Before entering the city, Li Yan transcribed a large number of announcements and asked the soldiers to attack all the way and post them all the way.
Now that the Tiger Army has taken full control of the entire Luoyang City, there are more announcements that need to be posted. From the notice of the people to the specific laws and regulations of the Juntian Order, the people of Luoyang City must be known as soon as possible.
Li Yan organized a group of young scholars from Luoyang City to "help him write the notice" and explain the notice, and the work was very effective, almost without touching the ground, "much busier than Zhang Zhun."
With Li Yan's efforts, in less than half a day, "Luoyang City was all settled." The shops that were originally closed have all reopened, and the Qinglou Tea Shop and Inn, etc., are also open for business. If it weren't for the change of owner of Fuwangfu's mansion, many people would not have noticed that Luoyang City had completely changed.
It is not enough to divide the grain of King Fu, but also to let the people of Luoyang have their own fields, which is the basic reason for the rapid implementation of the Juntian Order. Every turmoil of the Wenxiang Sect could not last, that is, it only focused on the distribution of floating wealth and snacks, and ignored the importance of the fields. As a result, when the floating wealth and food were exhausted, the crowd dispersed.
Only the fields can give the people long-term motivation and let the people support the Tiger Ben Army for a long time. Because, once the Tiger Ben army loses, "their fields will be snatched away again, and they will return to the era of lack of food and clothing." This is an outcome that they absolutely cannot accept. Therefore, they will definitely go all out to contribute to the Tiger Army.
Because of the existence of King Fu, the hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang have no land of their own at all. If the land can be divided into their hands, they will have the motivation to fight for it, and they don't need to call on the Tiger Army, they will all organize themselves arrogantly and fight hard with the imperial army. Therefore, for Juntian Ling, "Zhang Zhun is very strict.
"We are counting the population and measuring the fields, which should be completed in three days. Among the people of Luoyang, hundreds of people were also organized to measure the land with us and discuss the distribution plan. Their positivity is high and they work tirelessly. They just said that they were going to work all night tonight to gnaw this hard bone off. ”
Li Yan said excitedly.
After coming to Zhang Zhun's side, his life was very fulfilling, and he had no time to think about his sadness. Originally, he walked out of a big family, but now he has completely integrated with the ordinary people of Luoyang. Here he felt true fulfillment, fulfillment without regrets.
According to Li Yan's preliminary statistics, there are about 450,000 eligible people in Luoyang, and each person has five acres of land, which is 25.25 million mu. The number of fields around Luoyang is more than 3 million acres. In terms of the amount of land, it fully meets the needs of the population.
"Hurry up."
"It must be implemented in the field!"
Zhang Zhun said with a solemn face.
"Understood!"
Li Yan agreed, and went happily again.
When he went out, he happened to staggered by someone. This person is none other than Li Guo. Since Li Guo came to Zhang Zhun's side, he has become Zhang Zhun's follower, and the purpose is, of course, to supervise Zhang Zhun's attack on Luoyang. As a result, Zhang Zhun was not polite, and directly regarded him as his subordinate, and if there was anything suitable for him, he directly sent Li Guo to do it, without the intention of treating Li Guo as a guest at all.
Li Guo didn't expect that the speed of the Tiger Army's actions would be so fast. When he came to Zhang Zhun's side, it took less than half a month for the "Tiger Ben Army to take Luoyang." Due to the actions of the Tiger Ben Army, it was too fast, and it was too late to react to the king's side. It is estimated that King Chuang will also be surprised when they receive the relevant news.
However, this is not what surprised Li Guo the most. Li Guo was most surprised by the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Army. The solidity of Luoyang City, Li Guo knows. This is not the first time they have attacked Luoyang. However, each time it was unsuccessful, and many people were lost. The tall and sturdy city wall of Luoyang left a deep impression on Li Guo.
To be honest, when Li Zicheng sent Li over to incite Zhang Zhun to attack Luoyang, he may not have the idea of letting the Tiger Ben army and the imperial court lose both. In any case, "the Tiger Ben Army and the Shaanxi Rebel Army still have competition." If the Tiger Ben army suffered a little loss under the city wall of Luoyang, it would not be harmful to the Shaanxi rebel army.
It's a pity that the Tiger Army's movements are too fast, too fierce, and too ferocious. After some blasting operations, they successfully broke into the city. The whole course of the battle, basically there is nothing to describe. On the surface, it seems that the defenders of Luoyang are already vulnerable, and the Tiger Ben Army is Lei Gong beating tofu, and the battle is easily ended.
Such a way of fighting inevitably brought some heavy pressure to Li Guo. He was thinking, if it was not the imperial army that was defending the city, but the Shaanxi rebel army, would they be able to hold Luoyang? A: The case is negative. Even if the Shaanxi rebel army came to defend Luoyang, it still couldn't stop the attack of the Huben army.
If it is the other way around, it is the Tiger Ben Army that guards Luoyang" and the attacking party is the Shaanxi Rebel Army, can the Shaanxi Rebel Army successfully take Luoyang? Li Guo estimated that it was also enough to choke. With the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Army, if the Shaanxi rebel army wants to take Luoyang, I am afraid that it will need at least ten or even twenty times the number of troops.
