Chapter 54: The Northern Expedition, the Last Battle

The great victory in the Battle of Kunming represented that the vital forces of the three feudatories were basically exhausted, and the Tianwei army had swept the south.

After the capture of Kunming, the Tianwei army took over the territory of Wu Sangui such as Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou, and in addition to pacifying the people's hearts and rectifying internal affairs, the army rested for more than a month.

Within a month, the Northern Expeditionary Army led by Long Er also succeeded in taking Nanjing, the last stronghold left by the Manchus in the south, and after trying to attack the Yangtze River defense line, they received Zhang Shuo's news and stopped the attack on the north defense line of the Yangtze River.

In this month, when Kangxi didn't know how to eat and couldn't sleep at night, the Tianwei army annexed all the territorial forces of the three feudatories, backed by several provinces, and the army expanded to more than 200,000 people, plus the population of several southern provinces, the army supply was constantly replenished, such a general trend, it has surpassed the Manchu Eight Banners and the Green Battalion in terms of numbers!

In the previous battle, as long as there was a trap camp, the Tianwei army was basically thousands or even tens of thousands, and at this time, the number of troops also exceeded Kangxi's army, how could Kangxi not be worried. In desperation, Kangxi took the division of the north and south of the Yellow River as a condition and invited 50,000 iron horsemen from Mongolian Geldan to enter the pass.

After Zhang Shuo learned about it, he could only thank Kangxi in his heart, Geldan has always taken Genghis Khan as an example, he is a fanatical expansionist, and this time he just finished his work.

What the? The Mongolian Iron Cavalry is the pinnacle of the Cold Weapon Age?! After the Tianwei Army, the world of Luding will surely enter the era of thermal weapons! ……

The city of Kunming, after the post-war repairs, has been restored to its majestic appearance.

After passing the revised but still cumbersome oath to the heavens, Zhang Shuo faced the 500,000 army that was waiting under the city and said:

"Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, I have regarded my Han people as pigs and dogs, and the crimes they have committed are too numerous to mention. First, there were countless slaughters of cities, 'Yangzhou Ten Days', 'Jiading Three Massacres', the heads of the people killed were rolling and bleeding like rivers, but all the men who had the backbone to dare to resist were slaughtered, and no less than 10 million Han people were killed. Second, it is forced to be easy to get out of fashion, 'keep your hair but not your head', so as to torture our Han people's temperament and enslave us. Third, the great revival of the literary prison makes people unable to talk about state affairs, not about the previous dynasty, so that the Han family will always be slaves, and cannot be made to hold power, because of the words of the people abound, want to culturally exterminate the children of our Han family. How can my Heaven and Earth Society and Tianwei Army be indifferent and vow to 'expel the Tartars and restore my rivers and mountains'. β€œ

After hearing this, the soldiers of the Tianwei Army felt a burst of fire in their hearts, and shouted in unison: "Drive out the Tartars." Restore my mountains and rivers! "Drive out the Tartars and restore my mountains and rivers!"

Even Chen Jinnan, Jiuyan and other martial arts masters who are committed to the anti-Qing cause around him also shouted in unison.

The shouting and shouting continued, and it was not until Zhang Shuo stretched out his hand to press down that he stopped.

He drew his sword and shouted: "Northern Expeditionary Army, go to battle!" ”

In this way, when Kangxi was exhausted, the Tianwei army rested for more than a month, and started again, and the army was mighty and approached the capital.

The world shook! ……

Kangxi's carefully deployed northern defense line on the Yangtze River was like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© under the shelling of heavy ships transferred from Taiwan, and it was broken in an instant.

Wherever the Tianwei army went, the Han people welcomed them, and the Han people seized the city to welcome the arrival of the Tianwei army. The most feared thing of the Manchu emperors still happened, as Huang Taiji said when he entered the customs, the policy of 'ruling 40,000,000 with 4 million' is really ridiculous.

At the time of entering the customs, the Eight Banners of Manchuria, even with the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, would definitely not reach four million people, and ruling such a population with such a small population was the most worrying thing for every Qing emperor. Once the capable people raise their arms and shout, the Han people in the world are united, and the Manchurians can only obediently roll out of the Central Plains.

The true background of Lu Ding Ji lies in this, otherwise why would the Manchu Qing Dynasty bury the treasures they looted in the Central Plains outside the pass? Isn't it to leave a way back for your children and grandchildren?!

With the strength of the Mongols, they only ruled the Han people for a few decades before they were driven out of the Central Plains, and a huge empire across Europe and Asia collapsed! But the Manchus were very lucky, because they produced a few very clever emperors, who learned from the failures of the Mongols, knew how to 'control the Han with Han', and trained Han slaves to govern the Han people.

In the original book, Kangxi was afraid that the secret of the treasure would leak out, why? It's not that he cares about the treasure being obtained by others, but he is afraid that the children of the Eight Banners will slack off after learning that their ancestors have left a way back.

Throughout the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, these 'emperors of the ages' and 'Ming monarchs' have never regarded themselves as Chinese, such as Yongzheng once said, "the prince of Shunnai Yidi" and "non-Chinese".

Cixi old in later generations. Prostitute. Zi even said bluntly: "Measure the material resources of China and form a friendship with the country!" ”

It is precisely because the Tianwei Army won the hearts of the Han people that the Northern Expedition did not even have a decent resistance. Kangxi is also smart, knowing that setting up a defensive line is just a waste of troops, and seems to have made up his mind to come to a final decisive battle with himself to determine the ownership of the world.

Three months later, Zhang Shuo finally led an army of more than 300,000 to finally appear a hundred miles away from the capital, and confronted the Qing court army that had been prepared for a long time in the area of the capital.

At this time, along the Northern Expedition, Zhang Shuo's troops were not depleted, but because of the continuous surrender of anti-Qing people from all over the country, the army rapidly expanded to 500,000, leaving 200,000 to guard all places. Zhang Shuo led an army of 300,000 well-equipped to take Beijing directly, and two-thirds of the world was already under Zhang Shuo's control......

"Husband, the army has been settled, and all the generals are waiting for your order."

Ah Ke trotted to Zhang Shuo, who was meditating outside the camp, since Zhang Shuo found Chen Yuanyuan a month ago and made their mother and daughter recognize each other, Chen Yuanyuan had already married Ah Ke Xu to Zhang Shuo.

"Hmm~ Are you ready to trap the camp?"

Zhang Shuo looked in the direction of Jingshi, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Akeliu's waist, and asked in her ear.

"I've prepared according to your orders, husband, does the little emperor really dare to take the initiative?"

Even if there has been a husband and wife, and with the permission of my mother Chen Yuanyuan, I still can't let go of this kind of behavior of kissing me and me in broad daylight.

"Don't underestimate this little emperor, although he is less than one-third of Wu Sangui's age, he is more shrewd than Wu Sangui. The strength of the Tianwei Army lies in the 'trapped camp' led by your sister Long'er, so if you want to block the Tianwei Army, you must first block the trapped camp. ”

Zhang Shuo's chin rested on Ah Ke's head, and the fragrance of his spleen came to his nose, and he asked while sniffing with his eyes closed. The guards beside him resolutely formed a circle and faced all around, observing the sky.

For King Ming's dashing, even the folk have circulated several versions, rumors that Zhang Shuo is young and handsome, dashing and marches and fights with female dependents, and all of them are strange women who do not let women have eyebrows, and there are always good stories in the market.

For example, Su Quan, the female commander of the Northern Expedition (Zhang Shuo's full name to Long'er), beat the Manchu Eight Banners and the Green Battalion soldiers to the north of the Yangtze River and did not dare to show their heads.

"I also know this, but Wu Sangui can't stop the camp, how can a young man in Kangxi be an enemy?"

Ah Ke asked puzzled, knowing that he didn't have Shuang'er's talent in martial arts, no dragon's talent in marching and fighting, Ah Ke didn't have the arrogance in the movie, and he was very modest in front of Shuang'er and Long'er.

In fact, what Zhang Shuo didn't know was that under the teaching of his mother Chen Yuanyuan, Ah Ke had honestly learned singing and dancing and was ready to be a gentle and skillful wife. As for how to keep men, Chen Yuanyuan can be said to be a master of this way, and he can see the advantages of Zhang Shuo's women at a glance and compare them with his daughter, and easily persuade Ake to learn singing and dancing. As the daughter of Chen Yuanyuan, who once fell for an era, Ah Ke has a very high talent in singing and dancing.

"The Manchus were not ignorant of the power of firearms, they were very clever enough to break through the city defenses of the Central Plains with artillery, but after they got the world, they sealed the firearms. The firearms trapped in the camp are strong, Wu Sangui is a typical example, Kunming City was repaired by Wu Sangui as impregnable, and it was still fought down, Kangxi will definitely not choose to defend it. ”

"So husband, you conclude that Kangxi will attack the camp? But didn't Sister Long'er say that the Eight Banners had been abolished? ”

"It is precisely because the Eight Banners are overwhelmed that Kangxi would rather divide the Yellow River and lead Dzungar into the customs, hehe, the myth of the Mongolian iron cavalry should also end!"

Looking at Ake in his arms with a curious baby's appearance, Zhang Shuo couldn't help but rub her head vigorously.

"Master, a large number of cavalry from the northwest is rushing at full speed."

At this time, the ears of a werewolf servant who followed from the night world moved, and he immediately reported to Zhang Shuoyu.

"Hmm~ Got it, go tell the trap camp to act according to the plan."

"Yes~"

With Zhang Shuo's eyesight, he could vaguely see that on the northwest horizon, a cavalry unit composed of more than 100,000 Mongolian iron cavalry and Eight Banner iron cavalry was speeding towards Zhang Shuo's Chinese army camp.

"Kangxi, you really came, but unfortunately you are not destined to be the protagonist in this world!"
