Chapter 29: The Final Battle (4)
Nowadays, not only the Dashun Empire is busy, but the Republic is also actively preparing for war.
Originally, according to Zhang Hongbin's intention, it would be at least three years before a decisive battle began. But when he was dealing with his daily government affairs, not only did the Congress submit a detailed military operation plan, but Li Luo also represented the previous intelligence system of the Ming Empire and provided detailed information for Zhang Hongbin.
The result of the combination of the two is that the Congress officially proposed to Zhang Hongbin to have a real Armageddon to the Dashun Empire, and then unify China!
Zhang Hongbin carefully read this planning book, in fact, this is the third edition, and the first two editions have also been brought over.
The first version said that Dashun would be pushed away by force in one go, and then the people's rule would be considered, and to put it bluntly, it would be the matter of the new overlord;
The second version said that it could be co-opted and bought, and the people on the other side were not loyal to Li Zicheng's cunzài, and there was actually no absolute loyalty in this world, but the price offered was not enough. As long as the war is used to coerce, and then divided and co-opted, the Dashun Empire can be taken with the least sacrifice.
It can be seen that after the first version was formulated, many people felt that this was not Zhang Hongbin's style, and then they could only think hard about the second version of the plan.
It is said that the second edition is also very perfect, but I don't want to add it because of Li Luo, coupled with the ideas given in the second edition, it naturally brings out the content of the third edition.
After Zhang Hongbin saw it, he felt that this might be the ultimate in the art of war, although it consumed too much money and materials, but caused the least killing. The most important thing is that the remnants of Li Zicheng's forces were cleaned up most thoroughly, and by the way, a very small number of secret organizations that had been hidden underground were dug up and eliminated together.
It is not denied that even in this planning book, Zhang Hongbin also saw some of Li Luo's selfish desires, but in the general environment, this little selfish desire is not harmful. And if this plan is followed, while Li Luo achieves his selfish desires, he can also end the war faster, as far as Zhang Hongbin's point of view, there is nothing bad about it.
As a result, this plan was approved by Zhang Hongbin. When the people in Congress and the military department learned about this, they immediately became excited.
This is also something that cannot be helped, the foreign war has always been in charge of the monarch. That is, only the monarch was able to activate the mode of foreign war. Although the civil war is despicable, the Chinese People's Republic and the Dashun Empire did belong to two different countries. In other words, even if a war is waged against a country that is clearly founded by compatriots, it also needs to obtain the permission of His Majesty the Emperor of the Republic, so that it can be regarded as a legitimate transfer of troops, otherwise it is a crime against the Constitution.
Now that the plan has been written, it is natural that preparations are in full swing.
First of all, it is natural to make preparations for war on the border, all the materials are assembled, and all the soldiers are starting to train, no matter how you look at it, they are all precursors to launching a decisive battle. And if it really wants to fight, there will even be ten special forces composed of more than 3,000 people temporarily, lurking behind the enemy's rear with the main purpose of attacking and disrupting its grain routes.
The people in the military department can see through it, Li Zicheng can play crowd tactics, but crowd tactics have to eat anyway, right? That is to say, if you really want to fight, the amount of grain and grass required for this vast crowd tactic is absolutely astronomical, as long as the grain channel is cut off, then it doesn't even need to fight, it will be self-defeating. In other words, there is a special forces attack, and the soldiers on the front line only need to hold their positions to drag the other party to death.
Second, it will raise the exchange rate of metal money and paper money, which in turn will increase prices. This was mainly handled by the branch of the People's Bank of China in the Dashun Empire, which raised the proportion of huàn to 10 yuan for one tael of silver to 500 yuan for one tael of silver.
Invisibly, the paper money in the Dashun Empire has depreciated sharply, and the price has naturally increased, coupled with other reasons, so that the Dashun Empire, which was originally a pound of rice, now needs fifty yuan to buy a pound of rice, and even with the passage of time, this proportion will become larger and larger.
When prices rise, the people will have no food, and the people will need the government to solve the problem for them if they have no food.
You must know that as the Dashun Empire and the Ming Empire continued to learn from the people's wisdom and enlightenment of the Republic, the people began to become no longer numb. In addition, the constitution makes it clear that a country is divided into a ruling party and a supervisory party, giving the people enough freedom of speech and ways to defend their rights.
Therefore, it is natural that the first people will soon try to defend their rights, and then more people will participate. After all, if you don't defend your rights, people will starve to death.
With the passage of time, the shape shì is laid out little by little along with the predetermined assumptions of the plan.
Li Zicheng naturally levied a large number of soldiers, and he did not think about whether he could control so many soldiers, and he continued to recruit soldiers. But I have to admit that seeing the scale of these millions of soldiers, even the best generals in the military department can't be calm. It is hard to imagine how many artillery pieces and bullets would have taken for these more than 7 million people to completely wipe out these more than 7 million people if they had completely ignored life and death.
Besides, this is not 7 million head of livestock, this is 7 million compatriots!
In the past, I heard that Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers, this may be the most murderous person in history, right? However, if this war really starts, and it is still necessary to repel the place along the way, without killing more than three million people, I am afraid that the goal will not be achieved at all.
Killed three million Chinese compatriots in one go, God knows how to write his own ...... in the history books in the future It's so depressed to death just thinking about it.
At this point, the plan had to be accelerated, because everyone could see that these millions of soldiers were not only Li Zicheng's confidence, but also his burden. In order to be able to get rid of this burden, and at the same time to give an explanation to the people who have begun to complain later, he will go to war even if he doesn't want to go to war at this moment.
Seven million people, this guy is completely placed in the border area of Hebei, and plans to directly enter Hebei, all the way to Chang'an to kill, no matter what the result is, the road will inevitably be bloody, seven million people will eventually become seven million beast soldiers, and the place they pass is unimaginable.
Because of this, Li Zicheng was even ready to go to the front line to supervise the battle in person.
During this period of time, even if the city of Nanjing is suddenly captured, it doesn't matter, if you are desperate or something, you will not dare because you are the emperor. Li Zicheng knows very well what his background is, and naturally understands what kind of war he can exert his absolute combat effectiveness. No, it should be 200% combat effectiveness!
As the situation became more severe, the Restoration Organizations of the extinct Southeast Asian countries began to become active. And Li Zicheng actually ignored the integrity of the land of China, carved out a piece of the country, and established a country within a country for the other party, not to mention Zhang Hongbin himself, none of the people of the republic who knew about this matter were not angry. I'm afraid that even the people of the Dashun Empire will not have a good temper if they know about this, but they are basically struggling with food and clothing now, and they have no extra strength to care about other things.
Li Zicheng's arrogance made them understand one thing, it is actually not interesting to be uncivilized, the government will always be the biggest exploiting class, and in the eyes of the government, these fart people will always be fart people, ant people, and untouchables, and a bad life is worthless. The most important thing is to live yourself, don't care about others, you can't care about it!
It is conceivable that under the rule of a regime like the Dashun Empire, even if the people are constantly civilized, they are still a group of insensitive slaves who have no sense of national identity and national pride.
"How are they preparing, we don't have much time!" Zhang Hongbin looked at one military newspaper after another, looked up and asked Zhang Liu.
"The front line has been reached! Moreover, he has already begun to touch towards Li Zicheng's place. To be on the safe side, we have prepared a second echelon of snipers so that if they fail, our men can make up for it! Zhang Liu immediately replied in a loud voice.
"Remember, the time I gave him is three days, that is, within tomorrow at the latest, and I must complete the mission, otherwise, we must use the first plan to forcibly launch a strong attack on Li Zicheng's location!" Zhang Hongbin said very strictly.
Time is running out, and now everyone can see that Li Zicheng is only afraid that after arriving at the front line in two or three days, he will start a war.
"This subordinate and Li Luo naturally understand!" Zhang Liu could only answer like this.
At the same time, on the way from Nanjing City to the front line on the Hebei border, Li Zicheng's convoy was rapidly heading to the front line. Li Zicheng only knew that there was not much time left for him, and if he arrived at the front line one day late, then the food would be exhausted one day earlier. Soldiers who did not have an order to go out of battle were prone to mutiny, after all, this was a large campaign of more than 7 million men.
Behind the convoy, it was closely followed by a team of about ten people, and the leader was none other than Li Luo, the deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau.
He has a mission this time, that is, to assassinate Li Zicheng, so that Li Zicheng can experience the treatment of Emperor Chongzhen.
This is a little bit of his selfish desire, but it is not denied that if Li Zicheng dies, then with the attack of the special forces on the front-line grain road, a mutiny of 700 people is inevitable. When the time comes, the army of the Republic will take advantage of the situation to enter the Dashun Empire, and every Qiē will become a foregone conclusion.
In order to achieve this goal, for the sake of his own little bit of caution, Li Luo must complete this assassination perfectly!
"Captain, this is not right! The other party's convoy seemed to be in a hurry, but the soldiers were more in a hurry, but they didn't mean to protect Li Zicheng in the car! If I were the captain of the pro-guard team, I would only be afraid that all my thoughts would be on protecting Li Zicheng, and rushing would be secondary. The vice-captain suddenly stepped forward and said his opinion.
When Li Luo heard this, he immediately felt that this was very reasonable, if this guess was true, then it was obvious that it was not Li Zicheng who was sitting in the car, and Li Zicheng should secretly go to the front line on another road.
This has to sigh, is this Li Zicheng's golden cicada shelling method too ingenious?
You know, they came all the way, and Li Zicheng didn't have any means to hide it from them.
"It's a herald! Captain, they sent a herald to the front half a day ago, and since then, their expressions seem to have begun to change! "Soon, one of the team members spotted the troops.
Li Luo immediately thought about it, and the situation was indeed just as this team member said, since a herald was sent out, the situation of the team seemed to have changed. Changing from protection to mere rush is absolutely not in line with the professional ethics of Li Zicheng's personal guards.
Therefore, Li Luo is almost certain that the herald sent out earlier should be Li Zicheng!
"Divide five people and hurry up with me to catch up with Li Zicheng. But the vice-captain took five people to stay here to prevent the other party from cheating! Li Luo gave the order.
"Yes!" The vice-captain immediately received the order.
After Li Luo finished giving the order, he immediately took five people, increased his speed, and quickly ran towards the front line by taking a shortcut......
