"Choose thirty monks, stand on top of the city tower, and expose the things of the lower body to fight against it, then the Yin 0 gate array can be broken."

As soon as Master Fu Qing said this, Yuan Jixian couldn't help laughing: "It's really ridiculous nonsense, why bother so much, pass the order, put out all the guns and guns, and shoot them directly!" If they are not killed, more women and children will be so humiliated by them! ”

Yuan Jixian ordered, and countless guns and shells poured towards the left army, and the innocent women and children who were forced by the left army to put out the Yin 0 Gate formation all died tragically, and the left army saw that Yuan Jixian could not be frightened by this formation, so he had to continue to attack, and the strong attack was still blocked, and the situation was still deadlocked.

Yuan Jixian and Huang Degong were not afraid of consumption, after all, Zhu Youzhen's request to them was only to block Zuo Liangyu for half a year or even more than a year, and they were backed by rich areas such as Jiangxi and Jiangnan that had not been devastated by the war, and there were enough food resources to support them.

On the contrary, the Left Army could not fight a protracted war of attrition, and his own Huguang was destroyed by himself, and he could not recover his vitality at all within two or three years.

The news that the left army was blocked in the Jiujiang and Anqing areas also spread back to Nanjing.

"It is not surprising to me and your Aiqing, the left army is really not afraid, now that a month has passed, this Zuo Liangyu has not yet built a strong city, I think his goal of going down to the south of the Yangtze River in March is hopeless", Zhu Youzhen said with a smile, and said: "In addition, I heard that Zuo Liangyu is terminally ill, and when this person dies, the left army will be even more scattered, and when the time comes, it will only be a matter of a snap of a finger for our army to annihilate or digest Zuo Liangyu's department." ”

"Your Majesty, according to Weichen, can we not wait for Zuo Liangyu to die before launching a counterattack, first transfer a part of the Guards to the Susong area of Anqing to unite Huang Degong and Yuan Jixian's troops to exterminate Zuo Liangyu's troops before Jiannu and Li Zicheng's troops arrive, so that we can also practice the edge of the guards in the event of a big war!"

Ma Shiying, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has always been uneasy about Zuo Liangyu, especially now that Zuo Liangyu raised troops to kill him, a traitor.

As long as Zuo Liangyu does not die, Ma Shiying will always worry that Zhu Youzhen will kill him to appease Zuo Liangyu, especially when he may face the pressure of the Jiannu army in the future, if Zuo Liangyu and the imperial court want to reach a reconciliation and resist the Qing Dynasty together, then he Ma Shiying will definitely become a victim.

Therefore, Ma Shiying can only try his best to advise Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen to get rid of Zuo Liangyu now, and quickly get rid of Zuo Liangyu.

Zhu Youzhen naturally knew Ma Shiying's purpose, although he was the emperor, but now in this situation where there were jackals (Zuo Liangyu and Li Zicheng) and then tigers (Jiannu), he didn't know how to best deal with it, but he knew that the most powerful enemy in the future was Jiannu, so he wanted to put the main forces in Huaiyang and Shandong.

But Zhu Youzhen also knew that if Zuo Liangyu was not removed for a day, it would always be a big drag on him to resist Jiannu, so Zhu Youzhen did not deny Ma Shiying's suggestion, but asked him to explain his own reasons.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is now the beginning of March, the Jiannu Azig Department at the end of last year to the west to conquer Li Zicheng, and now has entered the entire territory of Shaanxi, the front of the army is directed at Huguang, Li Zicheng's defeated troops have also arrived in the Jingxiang area, Wuchang is in danger, the Duoduo Department responsible for the southern expedition was temporarily transferred to Guanzhong by Dolgon because he was worried that the Azig army would be difficult to defeat Li Zicheng, and because Azig beat Li Zicheng's army too smoothly, now he has ordered Duoduo to wave his army to the east, and prepare to march from Henan to Jiangnan, and now he has entered the area of Tiger Prison Pass, If we don't immediately annihilate or subdue the Zuo Liangyu Division within a month, then, once the Zuo Liangyu Division surrenders to the Qing army, we will face a two-sided attack from the Duoduo Department and the Zuo Liangyu Division, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

After Ma Shiying spoke, Li Mingrui, who advocated resolutely resisting the Qing Dynasty based on Huaiyang, stood up and said: "Did Da Sima ever think that this would be the case, once we led the Guards to completely annihilate the Zuo Liangyu Division, and the Duoduo Division suddenly entered Jiangnan directly, how should we deal with it at that time?" ”

"Your Majesty, is it possible to do this, we are only afraid that the guards of one corps will participate in the encirclement and suppression of Zuo Liangyu's troops, and most of the rest of the guards will still hold on to Huaiyang and Shandong, if this guards army can occupy the entire territory of Henan and go straight down to Shandong and Huaiyang, it will naturally be better to destroy Zuo Liangyu's division and return to the division, if you can't resist Azig and Li Zicheng on the spot, it will not be better to avoid my Daming belly and back to the enemy!"

When Lu Zhenfei said this, Zhu Youzhen also deeply agreed: "It is more reasonable to send a corps, the number of people is small, the mobility is strong, and it is a complete configuration of local infantry, cavalry, artillery and logistics, has the ability to fight independently, and the efficiency of defense and transfer is relatively high, and now Duoduo can only capture Jiangnan from Huaiyang and southern Shandong, so in this way, transfer the first corps of the First Army Liu Zhaoji to immediately reinforce Huang Degong's department, and unite with Huang Degong's Fourth Army to destroy Zuo Liangyu's department within half a month!" ”

When Zhu Youzhen said this, Ma Shiying couldn't help but be very happy in his heart, and hurriedly replied loudly: "Obey the order!" ”

After all, Zhu Youzhen listened to his opinion and agreed to transfer the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd armies of the Guards Army to participate in the extermination of Zuo Liangyu's department, which shows that His Majesty Zhu Youzhen still trusts him Ma Shiying more, and is not psychologically prepared to sacrifice him Ma Shiying to appease Zuo Liangyu in the future.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen trusts Ma Shiying more, after all, Zuo Liangyu is a dying person, and the people under his command are of no benefit except for dragging their feet, and re-entering his command will only increase financial expenditures, so it is better to exterminate them first and accept them, so that they can also show the prestige of the imperial court, and let Huang Degong, Gao Jie and others know the fate of rebelling against the imperial court.

The First Corps of the First Army of the Guards Army is Zhu Youzhen's most valued lineage, not only the deputy commander-in-chief is Liu Zhaoji, a fierce general in Liaodong, but also because there are Zheng Sen (Zheng Chenggong), Yan Yingyuan, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi and others in this corps, especially Yan Yingyuan, others may not be considered in the original history or may not have the opportunity to become a military genius, but Yan Yingyuan is a real military genius, in the eighteen years of Chongzhen, which is one of the few famous generals, Yan Yingyuan is Zhu Youzhen's only potential stock.

Li Dingguo is still serving his godfather, nominally his enemy of Zhu Youzhen; Hong Chengchou has defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and will replace Duoduo as the commander of the Qing army that destroyed the Ming Dynasty in the future; Only Yan Yingyuan is no longer a small history that was lost in the rolling history until the Qing army marched into Jiangyin, but a grassroots officer under the command of his own guards.

"From now on, the focus of our Generalissimo's Mansion will be on the Jiannu Duoduo Department that has been directly pointed at Henan, and the news of how Zuo Liangyu's Department was destroyed will be paid attention to by Guangming Daily, in addition, Li Zicheng's side, Jinyiwei also has to hurry up and speed up the action, and send a decree to He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, and the governor of Huguang to block Yinxi, and prepare to appease Li Zicheng's department! No matter what the remnants of the thieves want, as long as they are willing to join the Ming Dynasty and fight against the Qing Dynasty together, they will agree first! If you disobey my will, and want to suppress the thief, you will be dismissed on the spot! ”

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh, Jiannu was coming, and he didn't know if he could turn things around and change history, and he didn't know if the Guards could block Duoduo's troops, but he could only deal with it with all his might, and told Shoufu Fan Jingwen to prepare to move the capital.
