Zhu Cihong got the composition submitted by his subordinate Wenwu, and it was really clear. Wenchen is all the same, sprinkled with enthusiasm, the generals are either the gunners who invited, or they held back a hundred words, barely completing the task. Just by looking at the ideas reflected in these humanities, you can see how ridiculous it was to want to promote the idea of equality and freedom in the Ariake era.

It would be nice to be able to instill the concept of "empire" in them in their lifetime.

Zhu Cihong ordered people to keep each assignment properly, and began to transfer the collected grain, grass and all kinds of baggage to Tongguan. The farce in Luoyang City is bound to come to an end one day, and he really doesn't want to see the final tragedy. However, adhering to the tradition of stumbling on the enemy, Zhu Cihong ordered people to set aside 100,000 taels of silver, which were distributed according to the records on the yellow book.

100,000 taels of silver are distributed to everyone's heads, which is the meat on the legs of mosquitoes for the rich and life-saving money for the poor. The extra 100,000 taels of circulating currency in the market can also temporarily cover up the impact of rising prices on people's livelihood, and at the same time, it can also disperse the idle goods that Donggong has not hoarded to the people.

When Li Zicheng entered Luoyang, what he saw was a bustling city that wanted nothing.

Once the people of Luoyang fled in large numbers due to lack of supplies, and even started an incident, Li Zicheng could also taste the pain brought by the people's rebellion to the authorities.

On November 18 of the 16th year, Xiao Mo reported that Yuan Zongdi, the former general of Li Zicheng's former battalion, led the troops and camped outside Longmen County to confront each other.

Zhu Cihong only knew that there were Longmen Grottoes here in his previous life, and after returning to Luoyang, he read the local chronicles and knew that Longmen was very famous in the Warring States period. Bai Qi's battle of Yique took place here, and in that battle, Bai Qi killed 40,000 Han and Wei allied troops and began his first stop to kill stars.

The name "Yique" is actually closer to the geographical reality than the Dragon Gate. Because the two mountains of Xiangshan and Longmen Mountain stand opposite each other, there is Yishui flowing through in the middle. From a distance, it looks like a huge tower, hence the name Yique. As long as troops are sent to defend Xiangshan and Longmen Mountain, it is equivalent to controlling the southern gate of Luoyang. Back then, Han Wei was guarding a mountain and resisting Bai Qi. It's just that Bai Qi is not a world-famous general after all, and he broke the coalition forces of the two countries and won the Battle of Yique with ease.

If it weren't for the manager's ability, the disparity would be too great. In fact, stationing in the two mountains is indeed a good way to be small and broad.

"We still need a handful of rice to steal chickens, and we don't even have this handful of rice." Zhu Cihong stood on the top of Longmen Mountain, looked at the banner of Yuan Zong's first camp in the south, and sighed.

"The so-called 'more than enough to attack, not enough rules' in the art of war, is the current situation." The staff officer, who was wearing a brand new fat jacket and carrying two bars and one star on his shoulder, stepped forward and sighed, forgetting to add honorifics. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he still wore a square scarf on his head. He didn't wear a helmet, and he had a folding fan in his hand, dangling it out of season.

He was the former bandit military division, the former Tianxiong Army's grain cursive writing office, because of the capture of Niu Jinxing and received the rank of major, and served as an operational staff officer in the left military headquarters.

Longmen Mountain is the place where the Left Army Headquarters is stationed.

Because the newly incorporated Qin soldiers have not recovered their courage, they are not enough to fight, let alone form an independent battalion. Zhu Cihong appointed Xiao Donglou as the commander of the Left Military Department and awarded the rank of colonel. The old department of the Tianxiong Army, which came with Xiao Donglou, also arranged for timely training of trainers. Military discipline is taught, and those who pass the examination are appointed as officers, and those who fail to pass are also appointed as non-commissioned officers. The entire 1,000 headquarters of the Left Army was the product of such a combination, and what was rare was that there was harmony and harmony among the officers and men, and there was no situation of group resistance.

The reason for this is because of the place of origin.

Most of the soldiers in the left army were recruited from Hebei, and the original Tianxiong army was also from the Daimyofu. Lu Xiangsheng used the people of Hebei to attach importance to the folk customs of the township party. Let the Tianxiong Army be full of cohesion. Every time the enemy kills a soldier of the Tianxiong, it will increase the revenge of the Tianxiong army, so once the enemy is bitten by the Tianxiong army, all of them will shed a layer of skin.

The same accent eliminates the estrangement between each other, not to mention playing the brand of Lu Xiang's ascension to the heavenly army, which is especially useful for Hebei people. They all thanked Lu Xiangsheng. It is also an honor to be the successor of Inspector Lu.

Zhu Cihong had a slight impression of this funny combat staff officer, and joked: "Speaking in front of Lonely, don't you even know your name!" ”

"Humble Cao Ning, meet Your Highness." Cao Ning hurriedly saluted. The poisonous scholar has become a thing of the past, and now only Cao Ning has recovered his real name.

Cao Ning couldn't remember how long it had been since he had used this tuba. At that time, when the prince's Xugong document was handed down, Cao Ning was second, and he also shouted: "Which dog's name is Cao Ning!" It's even more than my grandfather's credit! At that time, the bandits also scolded the one named "Cao Ning", and they didn't know if it was a fallen stone.

When you are a bandit, you can't use your real name, otherwise you will be too embarrassed to your ancestors!

"Hehe," Zhu Cihong returned to the military issue, "The current situation is that the offensive is insufficient. ”

In the case of similar means of warfare, the choice of battlefield by the generals is also similar. At that time, the Han and Wei coalition forces chose Yique to snipe the Qin army, and the Ming army two thousand years later made such a choice. However, at that time, the Han and Wei coalition forces had nearly 100,000 people and could defend calmly, but now the Ming army under the command of the prince only had 5,000 soldiers.

If Zhu Cihong is given another three months, the number of soldiers under his command can be tripled.

That was only the soldiers of Yuan Zong's first battalion.

"The open terrain of the Yihe Plain is convenient for the enemy to deploy, and it is more conducive to breaking into the camp and charging the horsemen, so it is too passive for us to start a war here." Zhu Cihong's military ability depends entirely on reading, and in the face of the current battlefield situation, he also knows that it is beneficial to the enemy and not to himself. Xiao Donglou and Cao Ning, who are used to fighting in the field, how can they not see it?

"Actually, everyone is waiting for me to announce the withdrawal of troops." Zhu Cihong smiled.

The generals chuckled.

Xiao Donglou stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, this battle is not completely unfought, or some of the gains outweigh the losses. He also learned about the problem of measuring the benefits of the war after he became a bandit, and compared with Xiao Mo, who has always been in the system, Xiao Donglou pays more attention to the word "profit". If there is no profit from fighting, why fight? Wouldn't it be impossible to do such a stupid thing twice more than once and lose your old capital? People in the world say that robbery is "buying and selling without capital", but they don't know that in the eyes of professional robbery, there is also a cost.

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "Yuan Zongdi has no movement?" ”

"It's his front camp fighting with us all the way," Xiao Mo stepped forward and said, "I guess I'm scared." ”

"Then prepare to withdraw, the baggage is almost shipped." Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "You can have a good fight in Tongguan!" ”

"Command!" The generals have long been looking forward to a suitable battlefield, which can give full play to the maximum combat effectiveness of the East Palace guard battalion and fight a battle happily. From Ruzhou to the north, although he won every battle, he was timid, especially he could not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and lost most of the joy of victory.

Tongguan, the throat of the four towns, the first danger in Jinnei, one hundred and two heavy passes, there should be a battle!

……

"This soldier, has the transfer of the military department been sent to the crown prince?" Chongzhen held a sutra banquet in the Wenhua Palace, and couldn't wait to summon Feng Yuanbiao, the secretary of the military department.

Feng Yuanbiao was originally the one who wanted to be a scholar, but fortunately, Yu Chang was indeed a holy hand of traditional Chinese medicine, and he forcibly reversed his physical condition. Now that the vitality in his body is sufficient, he is still sitting on the seat of Shangshu, always ready for the emperor's inquiry, and the ministry has been handed over to the squire below.

"Go back to Bixia," Feng Yuanbiao stepped forward and said, "In terms of the journey, it should have arrived in Luoyang." It's just that there are hundreds of camps in Henan Province, and it is not known that there may be delays on the road. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's heart trembled. He knew that Henan was the hardest-hit area, and floods, locust plagues, and droughts came in turn within a year, and this was not counting the military disasters that had lasted for many years. What if the people can't survive? or from the thief, or his own camp leader as a thief, the whole of Henan has become a hell on earth.

From the time the prince left the palace to raise the army, the three envoys of Henan's government, inspection and command were in Kaifeng and refused to move. The crown prince has won a few battles in Luoyang, but they still say that they can't go, and even fools know their thoughts.

"It's really reassuring to me." Chongzhen sighed. He didn't expect his son to really dare to go into battle, and he also defeated Li Zicheng and captured Liu Zongmin alive. If he had known that his son had such ability, he would never have allowed him to bring a few thousand people over! In any case, I have to make up 30,000 or 50,000.

"The East Palace guard battalion trained by His Royal Highness Chitose is really a strong army that is not inferior to the border town, even if the attack and defense are insufficient, it is not a problem to protect His Highness's safe class." Feng Yuanbiao has been trying his best to correct the emperor's erroneous understanding recently, and has worked hard to inculcate that "victory or defeat is not judged by the gains and losses of one city or one place". This can be regarded as preserving the crown prince's results on the front line, otherwise the emperor Bixia will be a little unable to sit still just by looking at the abandoned city and land along the way.

"Does this soldier think that he should invent a will and give the prince the military administration of the four provinces?" Chongzhen asked.

Feng Yuanbiao pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness has the Dragon Festival and Shang Fang in hand, and all the officials and the people see it as if they are coming in person." If the purpose is reinvented, it will reduce the power of His Highness. ”

"Look at those civil and military generals in Henan!" Chongzhen burst out with anger: "I simply regard the prince as nothing, and I as nothing!" ”

"Your Highness's posture in the sky, there must be a way to deal with it." Feng Yuanbiao smiled and said, "Sun Chuanting is now under the command of His Royal Highness, and I don't see him disobeying. Feng Yuanbiao had already received a private message from the crown prince, asking him to keep Sun Chuanting. If it is a last resort, even if the East Palace carries the defeated black cauldron. Feng Yuanbiao is old in the court, and it is not good to lead troops to fight, but the war in the court is a veteran, and protecting Sun Chuanting is just a matter of words.

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen made a slight comparison in his heart, and Sun Chuanting was willing to listen to his son's scheduling, which showed that he was essentially a loyal minister. Since he is a loyal minister, it is not unforgivable to lose a battle. He patted the armrest of the throne lightly: "Sun Chuanting still knows the word 'loyalty', which can pardon him for the crime of losing his master." Order: Remove Sun Chuanting's military department from the title of Shangshu, only the governor of Shaanxi obeys the dispatch of the East Palace, and makes meritorious service for his crimes! ”

Feng Yuanbiao exclaimed unseasonably: "My Emperor Shengming! (To be continued......)
