Four, sixty-three, Zuo Guangxian, that bastard
The Sichuan soldiers came and went fast, they said they were going to go, they were really chic enough, they spread their feet, ran on the mountain road, a few vertical jumps, and ran out of the distance, Wang Er and the red lady wanted to chase and couldn't chase, and the soldiers under their command ran slower than others on this kind of mountain road. It wasn't until the three brothers of the Meng family ran away with more than 1,000 Sichuan soldiers without a trace that the leaders were surprised and inexplicably said: "The Sichuan soldiers are so powerful." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that all the leaders had an inexplicable expression of surprise on their faces, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: The ruthlessness of the Sichuan soldiers is more than that. When the Ming Dynasty fell and the Manchu Qing Dynasty had occupied the flowers, the Sichuan soldiers insisted on resisting the Qing soldiers for 13 years by virtue of the unique terrain of Sichuan, which was enough to make the soldiers in the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Northeast and Northwest places embarrassed. Later, after the Qing soldiers finally took Sichuan, they were afraid of the bravery of the Sichuan soldiers, and they were afraid that the Sichuan soldiers would make trouble again, and they had no way to solve it, so they ordered to slaughter Sichuan. The wild boar people believe that if they kill all the powerful Sichuan people, and then move the people of Huguang to live in Sichuan, so that the blood of the Huguang people can take root in Sichuan, the Sichuan soldiers will not be powerful.
As soon as the Manchu Qing Dynasty did this, nine out of ten Sichuan people became Huguang immigrants, and there were only a few original Sichuan people left.
The result? In modern times, in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Sichuan bore 30% of the country's fiscal taxes and 40% of the anti-Japanese war troops. Liu Xiang, the great warlord of Sichuan, left a will before his death: "The war of resistance to the end will never be unswerving, the enemy army will not withdraw from the border for a day, and the Sichuan army will not return to his hometown for a day!" ”
Visible...... Bring the Sichuan soldiers a brave wind. It is not the blood and genetics here, but the aura of the mountains and rivers here, the mountains and mountains, the trees and trees, through one hurdle after another, the rugged mountains and rivers have brought the Sichuan people a strong spirit. Regardless of whether the ancestors of the people here are from Huguang or Sichuan, they can still make the world tremble.
(Note: Although the author was born in Chongqing and is considered a native of Chongqing, according to his grandfather.) My ancestors are from Hunan. )
All the leaders were a little unhappy with the battle just now. Although he repelled the enemy army, he used more than 10,000 people against more than 1,000 people, and let people flee calmly. Go if you want. There's simply no place to put this face.
Zhu Yuanzhang also did not comfort them. I just thought in my heart: It's okay to eat deflated, this also helps everyone to correctly understand their own strength, Zhu Jun has always won battles. It was inevitable that they would develop some bad tempers, but they did not notice that Zhu Jun only fought very few battles on hard ground, and most of the time fought on soft ground in his hometown in Shaanxi. It can be said that people are not familiar with the ground, and they occupy the convenience of the home field, and this time they enter the Sichuan, and eat a stuffy stick on the unfamiliar terrain, which will help everyone's growth.
Sure enough, on the next march, the topic of several leaders was always inseparable from the topic of how to deal with the Sichuan army.
Ma Xiaotian said: "Turn the fire gun over and beat it to see if they can still walk like a fly on the mountain road." ”
Wang Er shook his head and said, "Do you see the stone forest over there?" People huddled in the stone forest to fight us, and the firecracker had a fart. Don't talk about the stone forest, let's talk about the forest, the fire gun can't be used in it. ”
Ma Xiaotian said: "Why should I fight them in the woods and stone forests? ”
The red lady grinned and said, "You should find a place where there are no woods and no stone forests to come out and see." ”
Ma Xiaotian looked around, and there were trees everywhere...... Speechless.
After a while, Wang Er, a simple man, actually thought of a plan and said with a smile: "Fire attack!" "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" often has this trick. Let's set fire to the mountain and burn it all bare, so that we won't be afraid of them ambushing it. ”
Ma Xiaotian snorted: "Come on, the climate here is very weird, the east wind for a while, the west wind for a while, and the south wind for a while, and it is sudden and rainy, constantly changing, be careful to kill yourself if you set fire." ”
He was right, Zhu Jun went all the way from Shaanxi to Sichuan, and every time he climbed a mountain, he would find that the climate changed...... Sometimes when you enter a cave from the other side of the mountain, the sky is still clear and the sun is roasting, and when you walk out of the cave, you find that it is raining heavily on this side of the mountain, and there are small waterfalls hanging all over the mountain, this strange situation makes the soldiers suffer a lot.
They discussed for a long time, but could not come up with a feasible plan, in fact, the later Manchu Tatars could not think of a good way to deal with the Sichuan soldiers, and as a result, they fought a bad battle for thirteen years. The Manchu Qing Dynasty can be regarded as having some capable people to help, but they can't think of a way, Wang Er, Ma Xiaotian, and Red Lady, the three stinky cobblers, can they really withstand Zhuge Liang? The three of them discussed for a long time, but they were still at a loss, so they had to ask Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself: It was easy for Zhang Xianzhong to seize Sichuan, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty captured Sichuan but fought for thirteen years, what is this? It's not a matter of reputation yet! Because although Zhang Xianzhong's reputation is very bad, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is even worse, and this is the key. My Zhu Jun's reputation is much better than Zhang Xianzhong's, but I don't have to think like the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
So he shook his head and said: "The upper army is plotting, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the second is the siege." What you wanted from the beginning was to defeat the Sichuan soldiers in a hard way, but didn't you give yourself a problem? As long as we can give the people in Sichuan a stable and happy life, why should they fight with us? ”
The red lady blinked her eyes widely: "Eighth Brother Zhu said that this is very reasonable, but the imperial court ordered the Sichuan soldiers to beat us, what can we do?" I'll have to figure out how to deal with them. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "So, let's start from Guangyuan to tell the people of Sichuan that our Zhu army is not an opponent they must resist." ”
The army marched forward for a while, and the front reported: "The vanguard of the generalissimo's leader rests in front, and it seems that he has just fought a battle. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked the Chinese army to stop advancing, and then sent someone to ask Xu Renjie to come back and report.
After a while, Xu Renjie walked over with a black face, and when he got closer, the faces of Wang Er, Ma Xiaotian, Red Lady and others were also black, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "You were also beaten by the Sichuan soldiers?" ”
Hearing him use the word "also", everyone knew what was going on, so they asked him what had happened.
Xu Renjie told the story, it turned out that he also encountered an ambush of about 1,500 people from the three Sichuan soldiers, and this 1,500 people were not led by Sanmeng, but the team led by Zuo Guangxian, the general of the officers and soldiers. It's a pity that the black pole soldiers lack combat experience, and the morale of the recruits is not high.
This frightened Xu Renjie, he had followed Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, except for the encounter with the Shenji Battalion at the beginning of that year, he had never lost any battles, and the Shenji Battalion relied on the advantage of firearms, and he was convinced. This time I fought with the Sichuan soldiers, everyone had two eyes and one mouth, and no one had one more part than the other, but it was not the same thing when it came to fighting, it really made him vomit blood.
When the leaders heard him say this, they also felt that they were related, and after comforting each other for a while, they set off again and continued to advance towards Guangyuan.
After walking for several miles of mountain roads, he was careful all the way, afraid of Zuo Guangxian's sneak attack, but Zuo Guangxian did not make another move, Zhu Jun finally felt that the vision ahead was opened, and it was no longer a situation of mountains and mountains, and among the large mountains of the mountains, there was finally a relatively flat place, of course, it was relatively flat, but it was only relatively flat compared to a bunch of chaotic mountains, if it was compared with the fertile land in Guanzhong, this piece could only be called dangerous mountains and bad waters.
I saw that on this piece of fairly flat ground, there was a human-like city built, this place is Guangyuan City, to be precise, it should be called Lizhou City, because this is the location of the county yamen, that is, the county office, so it can also be called Guangyuan City. This place was at the level of the capital city in the Yuan Dynasty and the early years of Hongwu, and later it was reduced to a state, and then to a county, but the scale of the city is much larger than the general county seat, the city wall is nine feet high, the thickness is okay, and the defense capability is much stronger than that of the ordinary county town.
It was impossible for the Zhu army to rashly attack such a city directly, so he stopped outside the city first, intending to observe.
There was finally a place around the city that could barely be called flat land, the soldiers of the Zhu army cheered, and couldn't help but run to this flat land, rolled on the ground, and after rolling for a while, they quickly stood up and regrouped into a formation, they were tossed too badly by the Sichuan soldiers in the mountains, and they were beaten to the point that they had no temper at all, and they couldn't even afford the spear formation that they were the most skilled at before. Now when I went to a place where there was flat land, I was overjoyed, and hurriedly put together my best military formation, although due to the uneven ground, the military formation was a little undulating, but this was also much stronger than running on the mountain road in a mess.
The soldiers' confidence soared and they couldn't help but laugh out loud. The hundreds of people standing at the front couldn't help but shout at Guangyuan City in unison: "Zuo Guangguang, you have the courage to get out and fight again, where are we afraid of you now?" ”
The soldiers were roaring vigorously, only to see the gate of Guangyuan City creak open, and everyone was surprised: Huh? Zuo Guangxian is so single? He came out as soon as he yelled, this is too single, right?
But when he saw that the city gate came out of the city gate, it was not Zuo Guangxian at all, but a civil official wearing the costume of the county, not tall, five short figures, about forty years old, he was followed by a large number of officials, it seemed that they were all working in the yamen, this person's face was extremely ugly, and he knelt down with a snap at Zhu Jun, and cried: "Zuo Guangxian's bastard...... Regardless of my life or death, I have fled! (To be continued.) )
