Chapter 129 The end of the day
"Rubbish, it's just a bunch of rubbish!"
In the Qianqing Palace, Kang Mazi roared angrily. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He couldn't figure out why the 150,000-strong army was defeated by 15,000 in a field battle. And it was defeated so badly, so ridiculously defeated, and so embarrassing! That's the 15th Army, not 150,000 pigs, in other words, 150,000 pigs spread their legs to rush 15,000 people, and it is estimated that they can almost rush up, and your 150,000 fully armed young men were actually crushed by others? Can you be more embarrassed?
More importantly, what should you do if you defeat the capital?
Could it be that the scene of the Eight Banners Army defeating Li Zicheng in a stone battle, and then driving straight into the capital to seize the capital is going to be repeated?
But the problem is that now it is Yang Feng who is driving straight in!
Just like when the Eight Banners went south to ask for the Daming Dynasty, this demon went south to ask for his country!
Just like when the Eight Banners went south to kill people's heads, this demon also wanted to kill people's heads.
Of course, he killed the Eight Banners.
"Master, the slave thought that at this time, he should return to the army of the big brother and prepare for a decisive battle under the capital, and at the same time, the troops outside the Zhaoshan Pass went south out of the Great Wall to attack the flank of the thief army. The thief army relied on logistics to fight, whether in the south or in the north, it was a waterfront operation, and basically never attacked a place without waterway support, but from Shanhaiguan to the south of the capital, it could only take the land route, and the long transportation line of more than 600 miles was extremely fragile, and the thief army was insufficient to defend the entire line. At this time, the cavalry of the foreign armies went south, and they could easily cut off this transportation line, or even if they could not cut it, they could rely on the attack to make the thief army unable to supply ammunition, and if the thief army ran out of ammunition, all those firearms would be useless. ”
Li Guangdi said.
It should be said that this is Kang Mazi's best strategy at present, the decisive battle under the capital city can maximize the extension of the logistics line of the Ming army, and then as long as the death defense of the capital becomes a protracted war, the Qing army outside the border out of the Great Wall to attack and cut off this transportation line, then Yang Feng can only hate the capital under the city.
"But who will stop Yang Feng?"
Yinren, who pretends to be dead every day, said gloomily.
"Huh?!"
Mr. Lee shut up.
Yes, the premise of this strategy is that it must become a protracted war, but once the Ming army hits the capital, who can stop Yang Feng? Who can stop this monster who single-handedly broke through the city of Nanjing? In terms of solidity, this capital city is not as good as Nanjing City, and none of the Chaoyang gates can compare to the treasure gate that was blasted open by the Ming army. If that demon enters the city with that giant Kong Ming lantern and then goes on a killing spree, then who in the capital can stop him? Even if he can't stop him, how can he fight a protracted war?
That humanoid monster is an unsolvable knot.
There was immediately silence in the Qianqing Palace.
No one can deal with Yang Feng, all the methods that can be used have been used, and the enemy who can't be killed with cannonballs is enough to make people desperate.
"Master, the slave has something to say, and ask the master to atone for his sins."
Nian Qianyao, who had just sprung up and became a popular fried chicken next to Kang Mazi, suddenly knelt down and said.
"Say, forgive you!"
Kang Mazi said.
He still attaches great importance to this young man, otherwise he would not have handed over the new army on which he had placed his last hope, but unfortunately now that the new army has just been formed, he has not even been equipped with guns! If God gave him another year, I believe that the Eight Banners Warriors would be enough to fight against the thieves, but unfortunately it was too late now.
"Thank you for the grace of the master, the slave thinks that at this point, everything is in vain, no matter what we do, we can't stop the thief army from entering the capital city, not to mention the Yang demon, that is, there is no Yang demon, and the strength of the Ming army alone is enough to enter the capital city, so what we need to do now is not to defend the capital, but to withdraw directly from the capital, take the south hunt, patrol Baoding or go further."
Nian Qianyao said.
The entire Qianqing Palace was silent for an instant, and all the princes and ministers looked at this guy in amazement.
"Bold Nian Qianyao, do you know what you're talking about?"
After reacting, Li Guangdi first pointed at Nian Qianyao, his lips trembled and he reprimanded angrily, this is an escape, the emperor took the civil and military officials to learn from those historical kings of the dead country, and ran away to survive, saying that in his mind, Kang Mazi is going to be the first emperor of the ages, and he wants to live for another five hundred years, isn't it a joke to do this?
"Li Zhongtang, the subordinate knows what he is talking about, but apart from doing this, who can guarantee that the public opinion will be perfect?"
Nian Qianyao asked rhetorically.
"Ugh!"
Scholar Lee shut up again.
"Then after going to Baoding, won't the thief army continue to attack? We retreat to Baoding today, where will we retreat tomorrow? Retreat to Taiyuan? Retreat to Luoyang? Then the thief army will force again, where will they retreat, will they retreat to Xi'an? ”
Kang Mazi said with a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, why did the thief army stop the offensive after capturing Nanjing? With the current situation of the thief army, if he continues to attack, who in the entire Jiangnan can stop him? Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan and even Yunnan and Guizhou, where can he stop his troops? But why did he only occupy a corner of eastern Zhejiang and Jiangnan in three years, but he no longer advanced?
Because he can't afford too much space.
The thief added countless burdens to himself in the name of Bo Renyi, he had to invest money to run a school, he had to get rid of all the land endowments if he wanted to win the favor of the poor, he had to offend the gentry of the world if he wanted to have a long period of peace and stability, he asked for money to run a school, so that he would not be given a wealth source by himself, and offended the gentry and made countless enemies for himself. The demon man does have the ability to run an industry and open overseas trade, but there is indeed a way to make money, but this is limited, the larger the territory he occupies, the less money he makes, and the larger the territory he occupies, the more troops he needs to guard, and the more money he needs to spend.
Just as we have no solution in the face of his attack, he has no solution to these problems in the face of him
Therefore, he only occupied the richest place in the world, but he did not even glance at the poor land that was close at hand. ”
Nian Qianyao said.
"Then why did he come to the north to cause trouble?"
Li Guangdi said.
"For the sake of the name!
In the south of the Yangtze River, he is for profit, he only grabs the best plains, the most fertile paddy fields, the mountains of southern Anhui are close to him, and the imperial court is almost unguarded, but he is too lazy to step into it, Taiwan He only occupies the chicken coop that is useful to him, but in other places, even if the opposition party plays his banner, he pretends not to know, because these places cannot bring him benefits, on the contrary, he has to post money to these places.
But in the north, he is just for fame, in order to let the world see, the success of his Northern Expedition as a Ming Supervisor, but he is not much interested in the land in the north in the short term, at least until his financial resources are sufficient, he is not interested. Otherwise, he still has tens of thousands of troops in the south of the Yangtze River, and he will transfer a brigade to go ashore in Dengzhou, and it is estimated that the whole of Shandong will no longer be owned by the imperial court, but he doesn't even want this kind of low-hanging fruit. Because if he wants these territories, he has to do what he did in the south, otherwise the people who originally welcomed him would not agree, but if they can't afford it, they don't want it.
Similarly, after he captures the capital, he will not really expand outward, all he wants is to seize the reputation of the capital, at least in the short term, he will not expand aggressively until his financial resources can afford more territory, what does he want too much territory in the north for? Beijing and Tianjin can't even be self-sufficient in food? Could it be that he took over and fed those ordinary people himself? ”
Therefore, the minister concluded that after the thief seized the capital, he would never attack again, at least not in the short term, and this gave us the opportunity to train the new army, and at the same time train more new troops, as long as there are 100,000 new troops, then why is it difficult to recapture the capital? If there are another 200,000 or 300,000 new troops, then the world is just around the corner, and in order to restore the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, what does it matter if you take a step back? ”
Nian Qianyao said.
"What's the use of saying so much? Your Majesty, the king of a country, the temple is related, and the people are looking forward, and he has abandoned the capital without seeing the enemy, how can he command the world? ”
Prince Su Danzhen said with disdain.
"Uh, Lord Wang, only by enduring a moment's anger can you become the foundation of eternity."
Nian Qianyao said.
Kang Mazi sat there with a gloomy face, and reasoned to tell him that what Nian Qianyao said was right, no matter how he fought against Yang Feng now, he would not have been able to get to this point, and it was only right to avoid his edge first, but the problem was that he was the emperor, and even the capital was lost, what kind of emperor was he? Escaping the capital can avoid a temporary disaster, but the price paid is difficult to say, and it seems that it is difficult to find any emperor who can have a good life after losing the capital. Not to mention those who died directly on the road, there are also many other people who were captive as puppets by their warlords, even if the result is as good as Li Longji, he still let his son usurp power and then make a name for the emperor.
Who is back in power?
If he leaves the capital and runs away, what will happen in the end? Will the world fall apart? Will someone take the opportunity to usurp the throne? Will those Mongolian princes still bird him? Can he still command the governors of the south? Will he ever come back and sit back on this dragon chair one day?
He really didn't know, he was really confused at this time.
"Let's all go down, I'm tired!"
He waved his hand dejectedly and said.
Those princes and ministers didn't dare to say anything more, anyway, it would take a month for Yang Feng to call, and even if he ran away, he wouldn't be in a hurry.
However, they didn't know that at this time, outside the distant Shanhaiguan, groups of Ming soldiers were carrying their bags on their backs, boarding troop carriers docked at the docks, 30 cruisers plus 30 transport ships, and 20 river warships, just like when they set off from Changguo, quietly waiting on the sea at night, waiting to go south with them to land at Dagukou for the second time, and follow the road taken by the British and French forces in history to the capital.
