362 The dynasty falls

While Lu Haoshan lamented Zhang Xianzhong's bad luck, he also lamented his own luck. ←

As soon as Sun Chuanting's department was destroyed, there was no one who could stop Li Zicheng near Gyeonggi, and the strength of the imperial court was either too weak and overwhelmed, or it was too far away, Lu Haoshan knew that the fall of the Ming Dynasty was imminent, and he originally wanted to kill Zhang Xianzhong, who caused trouble, and then when Li Zicheng attacked the capital, he took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, after all, the Gyeonggi region is relatively wealthy, and there are more talents.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xianzhong was not angry, and lost so much grain and grass halfway, so that he could not reach his ambush site in time, and his wishful thinking would also fail, so it was okay, history once again returned to its due trajectory: the Ming Dynasty collapsed first, and Zhang Xianzhong gained a foothold in Sichuan.

It turned out to be successful, but now it has its own variable, and it is doomed to failure.

"My lord, what do we do now? Do you want to take the initiative? Li Nian hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

"Forget it, let him be, the battlefield is changing in an instant, slow down, slow down, this is okay, we can spend a peaceful year at home with peace of mind, and the preparation can be more sufficient, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover it."

Li Nian said respectfully: "Yes, my lord, or my lord has thought it through." ”

"Okay, it's almost the New Year, make good arrangements, so that the soldiers and people of Sichuan can have a happy and peaceful year, after this year, it is estimated that there will not be so many comfortable days."

There are no accidents or great changes, the Ming Dynasty will not be in the long river of history in the near future, the dynasty will fall, the heroes will rise up, and the enemies at that time, in addition to the righteous army from all walks of life, the generals who support the army and respect themselves, but also face the challenge of the Manchu Tartars, and they will definitely be very busy.

Before Li Nian could agree, Lu Haoshan continued: "We can't relax in terms of intelligence. Let the intelligence team pay attention to the movements of the various armies, especially the movements of the Manchu Tartars. ”

Li Nian responded, saluted Lu Haoshan, and continued to be busy.

After seeing Li Nian leave, Lu Haoshan shook his head with a wry smile, and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered that he had an important place that he hadn't gone to yet, that is, the artillery department. The second is a human being, Lu Haoshan naturally knows the power of artillery, so in addition to developing a new type of musket, he has not relaxed on artillery, and has sent a lot of good hands to study.

……….

The rings of history are always moving forward, and human beings are too small for infinite time. No matter how brilliant a person is, he can only leave a shallow stroke on the long scroll of history, which is a limited chapter that a dynasty can leave behind. Time is rushing, it will not stop for anyone, like human laughter, crying, sorrow, war, life and death, sickness and death, etc., just a touch of hurried scenery on the road of time.

Lu Haoshan was busy. It is rare to spend the New Year with the family, eat midnight, keep the New Year, and make New Year's money. It is true that most of Huaxia's feelings are cultivated from the wine table, and the banquet came before the New Year, first accepting the banquet of the subordinates, and the subordinates invited the officials, squires, wealthy families, etc., until after the Shangyuan Festival, it stopped slightly.

Zhao Min and Lin Yuexuan complained a lot about this, firstly, too much wine and meat is not good for the body, secondly, the two daughters have been married for a few years, and they have not come out, and they have been criticized behind them, and they can't raise their heads in front of those women who have children on weekdays, so they naturally want to accompany their father-in-law a little more, if they give birth to a boy and half a girl, they can explain to the ancestors and ancestors of the Lu family, for this reason, Lu Haoshan has appeased the two daughters.

While celebrating the New Year, Lu Haoshan has also been paying attention to the situation in Daming, and to Lu Haoshan's surprise, Huang Taiji, who he focused on, did not take any action, but quietly withdrew the army, obviously sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, shrewd.

With little capital, careful calculation, and the use of troops on the blade, can the small Manchu Qing become a-stirring stick, and finally the powerful Ming Dynasty was destroyed.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty did not move, but the news about Li Zicheng and Zhenzhen kept coming, seeing the information that had been sent back from thousands of miles away, what made Lu Haoshan sigh was that the luck of the Ming Dynasty was really exhausted:

After Li Zicheng conquered the three sides of Shaanxi, the important area that originally provided soldiers and arms to the imperial court became his own logistics base, Li Zicheng, who had greatly increased his strength, founded the country in Xi'an, the country name was in Shun, changed to Yuan Yongchang, and rewarded his subordinates, and then took advantage of the victory to start the eastward expedition across the river, Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin led a way, occupied Pingyang and captured Taiyuan, Ningwu, Datong, Yanghe, Xuanhua and other places, and the other route was led by his general Liu Fangliang, crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi, marched along the north bank of the Yellow River, and occupied Huaiqing Mansion in Henan first, Then go east to collect Henan Weihui and Zhangde two mansions, and then attack Baoding through Handan, Xingtai and Sajian, and the final strategy is to join Beijing.

In the face of the aggressiveness of the Dashun army, Zhen Zhen and a group of ministers panicked, at this time the Ming Dynasty has reached the embarrassing situation of no soldiers, no pay, no generals, there is no power to stop Li Zicheng, the only way is to transfer the last batch of elite soldiers of the Liaodong front back to King Qin, guarding the Beijing Division, but afraid of violating the ancestral teachings, to bear the responsibility of losing the land, thinking about it, Chongzhen decided to drive the expedition in person.

The emperor wants to drive the royal expedition, the scholars understand it, from the first assistant Chen Yan one by one to sign up for the substitution, Chongzhen did not agree, until Li Jiantai did not let go, to tell the truth, Li Jiantai is greedy for life and afraid of death, and has no experience in leading troops, he was selected because he is a rich man in Shanxi, and when he has no money and no soldiers, he takes a fancy to him, mainly because of his net worth, Li Jiantai is also interested, and generously said in the court that he will pay the army with private wealth, without official funds, Chongzhen is happy to appoint him as a supervisor, and give Shang Fang a sword to go out on behalf of the expedition.

It's a pity that when the Ma Inspector Division, who was pinned on by Chongzhen, marched to Handan, he was afraid when he heard that Liu Fangliang was coming, and he was afraid before he met, so he led the army to flee north, looted the people along the way, and finally surrendered to Liu Fangliang, which can be said to be a ridiculous farce, which is one of them.

The second is that when Wu Sangui was transferred to Beijing, King Qin hesitated again and again, worried about losing his land, and he couldn't pay the labor army, so he missed the best opportunity after several tosses.

The last point of leakage happened to rain overnight, the high walls of the capital city that have been operating for hundreds of years are thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the strongest city in the Ming Dynasty, at that time, the Jin Tie cavalry several times came to the city and could only look at the city and sigh, it could have been able to rely on the city to hold on, but I did not expect the plague to suddenly spread in the capital, the people called it "pimple disease", at first the patient suddenly launched a high fever, some of the gibberish, the behavior was out of control, or woke up from sleep; Then swelling occurs in the groin, armpits, legs, and some people are in a prolonged coma or delirium. Most of them ended up dying, and what was even more terrible was that sometimes people were talking on the street or at home, and one person suddenly began to shake, and suddenly fell to the ground and died, and the soldiers and civilians of the Beijing division died in large numbers, so that they had no strength to fight against the menacing Li Zicheng at all.

When Lu Haoshan received this information, his expression was a little complicated, and then he sighed: "Daming is going to die, Mr. Li, it's all damn Zhang Xianzhong, if you don't come sooner or later, we won't be able to catch up this time." ”

As the last Han dynasty in memory, Lu Haoshan still misses it very much, he was once rich and powerful, powerful and powerful, feeding up to 10,000 people, the "no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies in the community" The testament has touched countless people in later generations.

Li Nian nodded and said: "That's fine, so that not only do we not have to bear the charge of killing the king, but we can also be famous at that time, and Zhu Zhipeng's big fat pig can also come in handy, or the adults are high-minded, and they have always kept him." ”

After separating Sichuan, Lu Haoshan put the King of Shu under house arrest, confiscated property and fields, and raised him in captivity, but did not kill him.

Don't care about so many relatives, it is the prince and the phoenix grandson who have the use value.

When waiting became a habit, Lu Haoshan didn't take anything, just kept collecting information about the Beijing Division, not only Lu Haoshan did not act, like the Manchu Emperor Taiji, Zhang Xianzhong who stayed in Wanxian, Zuo Liangyu who supported the army and was self-sufficient, the sweeping king, Yizhangqing and others, there was no action, everyone was waiting, waiting for Li Zicheng to break through the Beijing Division, and wait for the moment when the Ming Dynasty fell, then it was the real melee.

Chongzhen was in chaos, first sent eunuchs to monitor the towns, in order to win back the hearts of the people, repeatedly issued an edict against himself, and wanted to clean up the hearts of the people, seeing that it was really not possible, he didn't care about anything, and ordered to give up Ningyuan, and ordered Wang Yongji, the governor of Jiliao, Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Ningyuan, Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Jizhen, and Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong, to return to King Qin, but in addition to Tang Tong and Wu Sangui receiving orders, others used various reasons to prevaricate, but there were people who were willing to lead the troops to Qinwang, Chongzhen took another step and sent the eunuch to supervise the army, and forced Tang Tong to run away, So much so that when a great calamity came, the king of a country had no available soldiers under his command.

There is no way, Wu Sangui is too far away, because he is too late, and he is still on the way until the city breaks.

In the words of the afterlife, this is called not death without death.

As a courtier, seeing that the monarch was in danger, he was somewhat panicked and hesitant, for fear of being infamous or something, only Lu Haoshan had no psychological burden, and he had always been very calm: it had been reversed a long time ago, and he didn't care if he lived or died.

Lu Haoshan misses the rich, powerful, and powerful Ming Dynasty, not the decadent and backward Ming Dynasty.

In March, the sun is shining, the spring flowers are blooming, it is rare that there is no mundane trouble, Lu Haoshan also played a romance, with Zhao Min and Lin Yuexuan, one on the left, one on the right, the three of them swinged together in the backyard, the two girls had a lot of fun, and the laughter like a silver bell could be heard in the courtyard like a yellow warbler out of the valley.

The bright smile like a flower made the flowers in the backyard lose their color, just when Lu Daguan's heart was ape, and he was about to hug two big beauties to have a daytime announcement, Li Nian tightened his face, and hurriedly walked in without reporting, and said straight when he saw Lu Haoshan:

"Dong Weng, Li Zicheng captured Beijing, Chongzhen Coal Mountain hanged himself, Daming, and died." (To be continued.)
