Chapter 586: The Battle of Guilu
"Sun Buyuan, the last general thinks that we can abandon our baggage, light our troops, go to Hanzhong, and then transfer to Huguang and Sichuan, and withdraw to the southern capital."
Niu Chenghu, the chief soldier of the Chinese army, is really afraid, he is also a general of the Qin army, but he never expected that the official army had suppressed the rogue for more than ten years, and he did not hold it in front of the Shandong army for two months, Li Zicheng was defeated, he didn't have to think about it, he could guess where the Shandong army would fight next, and now he didn't take advantage of the opportunity for the Shandong army to rest and recuperate.
"The meaning of Niu Zongzhen, the headquarters has also thought about it, but Henan is controlled by Li Zhi's army, our army can only go to Hanzhong, through Sichuan or Huguang to go out of the southern capital, but Nanyang Ma Huihui has asked the Shandong army to surrender, Huguang Governor Song Yiniao is a sycophantic villain, will never let our army evacuate safely, Sichuan Fu Shao Jiechun, previously because of Yang Sichang's matter, for the first emperor to apply, plus Li Xingzhi has a great righteousness, he may not be able to allow our army to cross, for today's plan, only stick to Guanzhong, to wait for the times to change."
Sun Chuanting sighed again, since Li Xingzhi's success in appeasement, he has been planning a way out for the Qin army, originally thought that with Wang Qiaonian and Li Zicheng in the way, he had time to complete the training of generals and horses, clinker, Wang Qiaonian and Li Zicheng were defeated one after another within half a year, which completely disrupted his plan.
The Qin army in Shaanxi was helpless in the face of the strong Jingbei army, and could only hold on to the passes of Tongguan, Pubanjin and Wuguan, with deep ditches and high bases, and stubbornly resisted.
However, the civil official clique in Nandu quarreled over the matter of supporting the establishment of the prison state, and was divided into two major factions.
Qian Qianyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Shi Kefa, the governor of Fengyang, Wang Duo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Shenyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Jiang Guangyue, the secretary of the Taichang Temple, and Lu Daqi, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, all believed that King Lu was virtuous and virtuous, and had a deep and close relationship with the Donglin Party, and was the nephew of Emperor Shenzong, who could be the supervisor of the country.
The ancestral home of King Lu Zhu Changshu is Wei Hui, the grandson of Zhu Zaiyuan of Ming Muzong, the nephew of Zhu Yijun of Shenzong, the cousin of Zhu Changluo of Guangzong, in the forty-second year of Wanli, Zhu Yihua, the king of Lu, Zhu Changshu was young, and was regented by his mother Concubine Li, and was crowned King Lu in the forty-fourth year of Wanli.
The eunuch Han Zanzhou of the southern capital, Lu Zhenfei of Guanglu Shaoqing, Ma Shiying, the governor of Caoyun, and others belonged to King Gui, and Zheng Zhilong, the governor of Fujian, belonged to Zhu Yuyi, the king of Tang, but the Tang domain and Wanli were far from each other, and there was no advantage over King Lu in terms of blood relatives, so Ma Shiying and Zheng Zhilong and others secretly discussed to support Zhu Changying, the king of Gui, and then the governor of Tang Wang was the commander of the world.
Liu Liangzuo, the general soldier of Luzhou, who had been co-opted by Shi Kefa, saw Zheng Junhao's great water division, and suddenly had thoughts at both ends of the first rat, Ma Shiying took the opportunity to separate, and lured him with power, Liu Liangzuo changed his ways, and also expressed his support for Wanli's parent-child prison country, and personally led people to Hengyang to welcome the Gui Domain into the court.
Zhu Changying is the seventh son of Shenzong, and in terms of intimacy, King Lu is incomparable, but King Lu has the support of the Donglin Party and controls Jiangnan Yanlu.
One side has soldiers, one side has the right to speak, since the death of Emperor Chongzhen and Li Xingzhi's announcement of the reform of the mining tax and the salt and iron tax, it has been disputed for nearly three months, and there is no conclusion.
"Although King Gui is the bloodline of the heavenly family, but after the sealing of Hengyang, the mansion will collapse in two months, this is a warning from the heavens, do not supervise the country for me, the ancestor of Lu Fan is the blood brother of Emperor Shenzong, and the good name is spread in the world, when it can be my emperor Ming prison country, to eliminate the rebels, find the bloodline of the first emperor, and then return to the government, so the world looks up, and the four seas return to the heart."
Nandu Cabinet Yamen, since Liu Liangzuo welcomed King Gui to Anqing, the two factions of Gui and Lu fought again, and Qian Qianyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead in making trouble, saying that the Gui Wangfu collapsed, the meaning is very clear, the palace can't bear it, how can it bear the world.
Ma Shiying said angrily: "Dare to ask Qian Shilang, you keep talking about the palace, then the palace of King Weihui of Lu was also broken by the rogues, and he burned it clean, is he virtuous enough to be my Ming prison country?" Now that Liu Zongzhen has escorted King Gui to Anqing, Zheng Zongzhen's soldiers are in Yanziji, and the official said that King Gui is virtuous, who dares to say no. ”
The dispute between Nandu Gui and Lu is ostensibly to discuss who is qualified to be the prisoner, but in fact it is a power struggle between the Donglin Party and the non-Donglin Party, Ma Shiying actually doesn't care who is the prisoner at all, as long as the Donglin Party is unhappy, he will be happy.
With Li Xingzhi's experience, Ma Shiying knows the importance of military power, no matter how powerful his mouth is, can he be more powerful than a knife handle? Haven't you heard that Li Xingzhi killed people in Beijing? Those hypocrites who are usually sanctimonious are nothing in front of spears and firearms.
"You are fighting endlessly for a prison country, but you know that Li Xingzhi is fighting with the Liukou in Heluo, once Li Cheng wins, his army will inevitably go south, and I am equal to the southern capital to support the prison country, the name is not right, the words are not good, when the time comes, you can be familiar with resisting the rebel army."
Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet of the Chongzhen Dynasty, saw that the pro-Lu faction and the pro-Gui faction had not yet reached a conclusion for the sake of the rights, and personally rushed to the southern capital in February of the first year of Yongli.
"What do you mean? This official said that if you are not King Gui, you can't be a prisoner of the country, and what does this unrighteous statement mean? ”
Zhou Yanru has been the first assistant of the cabinet and the leader of Donglin, Ma Shiying is still very important, and his tone eased at the moment.
"The name is not correct and the words are not good, which means that we must deny the Yongli Imperial Court built by Li Wei in terms of law and law, so that we can gain a foothold in the righteousness, as for the dispute between Gui and Lu, the old man can be the master, and set up King Gui to supervise the country, and then the cabinet auxiliary minister I Donglin must have five seats."
Zhou Yanru was old in the end and planned for the country, and he knew the importance of military power, and knew that relying on the garrison of Nandu could not be the opponent of the ship's strong artillery and the battle-hardened Liu Liangzuo's department, so he had to give in to Ma Shiying, but he also had reservations, that is, to occupy an absolute advantage in the number of cabinet members.
"Okay, according to what the elder said, it's just that Li Cheng has the edict of the first emperor, how can we be justified? The elder of the pavilion can know that Kong Yinzhi, the sage of Yan, has already voted for Li Rebellion, and he has changed the world to open his eyes for Li Rebellion. ”
Ma Shiying was overjoyed when he saw that Zhou Yanru agreed to King Gui's imprisonment of the country, Zhou Yanru was one of the leaders of the Donglin Party and the head of the first emperor, since he was soft, then Qian Qianyi, Wang Duo and others would not be able to say anything, and immediately consulted Zhou Yanru on how to legalize the matter of supervising the country.
Zhou Yanru sneered: "Emperor Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing back then, and left the southern capital behind, and even set up six departments and nine secretaries in the southern capital, just so that once there is a change in Shenjing, the southern capital will be able to immediately exercise administrative rights, unify Jiangnan, and protect the orthodoxy of our emperor Ming. As for the Confucian family, don't forget, there is also a Confucian family in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
