Chapter 0244: Sending troops to the east

Winter goes to summer.

The Qing court marched west of Sichuan and Shu, and Qin Zuoming wanted to go out of Sichuan, so it was naturally an eastern expedition.

Chengdu was garrisoned by a group of old brothers led by Su Shi, and at the same time, the peasant union personnel patrolled on their behalf.

Chongqing was garrisoned by the veteran general Qin Liangyu, guarding the eastern gate of Sichuan, in case the Huguang Qing army entered Sichuan to fight.

The rest of the armies gathered in northern Sichuan, waiting for the order to go out.

Qin Zuoming stood on top of the city, looking at the dense soldiers from afar.

The last glory of the Ming Dynasty was supported by a group of anti-thieves and pirates, and most of the civil and military generals were surrendered.

Qin Zuoming raised the horn in his hand and looked at the soldiers outside the city: "Soldiers, you may still have some doubts today.

We are getting up day by day in the days of living in Sichuan and Shu, why do we have to go out of Sichuan to attack Qing? ”

"Yes, why do you have to go out to fight in Sichuan if you have to go out to fight in Sichuan?"

Qin Zuoming waited until his voice had passed through many professionals to make sure that they were all heard, and then he continued:

"We are for the healthy growth of your children, for your wife and daughter not to be fornicated by women, and for your parents to die well.

Our little days are rich, but there is still chaos outside.

Not only do the rebels covet our wealth, but the dogs and tartars also want to kill us, take away our good days, and make us slaves.

So, for the sake of our families, for our own good days.

We have to go out to conquer the Qing Dynasty, calm the world, and not let the flames of war burn to our hometown again! ”

In fact, before the expedition, the peasant association had already done the ideological work of the people.

Whether it is from what Zhang Xianzhong did after entering Sichuan, or what the refugees poured into Sichuan from other places.

Almost all of them confirmed that Qin Zuoming's words were correct.

What you want to live your own life in peace, but this damn world doesn't give you such a chance.

"So, pick up the knife, use the knife in our hands, the firearms in our hands, go out of Sichuan to clear the Qing Dynasty, and calm the world."

"Go out of Sichuan and clear the Qing Dynasty and calm the world!"

A roar came from outside the city.

The drums of war rang out.

Qin Zuoming took out the copper coins glued together on both sides and divined the heavens, and the results of the divination showed good luck.

The whole army vibrated and shouted.

You think it's a superstitious thing, but the people of this era eat it!

Even highly educated people can be deceived, otherwise what kind of anti-fraud center software is being promoted!

"The auspicious time has come, cut the enemy and sacrifice the flag!"

Two tiger-headed swords, kneeling in front of them are Nikan and Mandahai.

Click.

The executioner was professional, and he directly splashed blood on the battle flag, and such a performance caused the three armies to shake.

Qin Zuoming held a wooden horn and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

As a pioneer, Yang Zhan took the lead in knocking the horse's belly, took the bloody banner handed over by the herald, and led his subordinates to go directly out of Sichuan.

Nearly 100,000 troops, known to the outside world as 300,000 Sichuan troops, can not be cleaned in a day or two.

"Lao Jiu, I think you're afraid it's not easy to do this trip." Lei Datou smoked a cigarette stick and said with a smile:

"When we enter the city of Beijing and destroy the dog Tartars, you are afraid that you will go to that position."

"I don't have any surprises."

"Aren't you afraid that someone will say that you are a rebel?"

"When you are weak, you are doing the wrong thing!

On the contrary, when your power becomes strong, even if you do something wrong, many people will jump out to defend you. ”

Qin Zuoming pointed at himself and said with a smile: "Who dares to say that I am not a loyal minister, then let him reason with my cannon." ”

"Hahahaha, it makes sense, it makes sense." Lei Datou couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Zuoming led 300,000 troops out of Sichuan, and the news immediately spread throughout the surrounding territories.

He Zhen and others in Shaanxi laughed even more, and they also understood why Qin Zuoming would wait for spring ploughing before sending troops.

He Luohui, the trilateral governor of the Qing court, had already struggled to support it, and when Qin Zuoming's vanguard came, he would have to die.

"I'm going to take people to meet them, lest they go the wrong way." Wu Dading laughed twice.

"As it should be." He Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief: "Qin Dashuai is a strong soldier and a strong horse, this time we will follow him into Beijing City and take the bird position of the dog tartar." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the dog Tartar dares to be the emperor, and he must be killed."

"Hahaha."

As for Jiang Xuan, who was besieged by Azig in Shanxi, he didn't expect Qin Zuo to start going out of Sichuan after the spring ploughing was over.

If the war in Shaanxi goes well, it will definitely not wait for the summer to reach Shanxi.

The soldiers are fast, and they push all the way directly to Shanxi, and can they still make Azig outside the city show off his might?

"Son, immediately announce to the whole city, our reinforcements are coming, and we must hold on to the city."

Jiang Hao couldn't help shouting, hurriedly began to write letters, and scattered around with carrier pigeons.

Several of his brothers are still holding on.

"Yes." Jiang Meng ran out in a hurry, ordered people to beat the gong and roll, and the whole city announced.

In this way, the morale of the military and the people has become more stable.

That's the Qin Marshal who destroyed the Dog Tartar Prince Haoge and tens of thousands of Manchurian banner soldiers!

Now that they've finally come to our aid, what else is there to say.

At this time, it is the dog tartars outside the city that should be in a hurry.

Jiang Jiu's guess was right, Azig was in a hurry.

The twelve cities of Shanxi revolted at the same time, and under his leadership, the five cities had been pacified.

For Jiang Jiu, Dolgon also sent someone to dissuade him, saying that if you surrender and declare your repentance and sincerity to the world, you will still "continue to be gracious." ”

This surrender was directly rejected by Jiang Xuan.

Still going to be the same?

In the past, the Qing court treated him, but he knew it well, let him be deceived once, and he could be deceived a second time, but he really blamed himself for being a fool.

In addition, with Qin Zuoming's foreign aid, Jiang Hao was even more determined to resist to the end.

Dolgon transferred red-coated cannons to besiege Datong County, but before Yan Yechen entered Sichuan, he ordered Jiang Hao to transport red-coated cannons along the way.

Then Jiang Hao led the army to Hanzhong, and when he heard the news that Yan Yechen had died in Sichuan, he directly returned to Datong with the red-clothed cannon of the Qing army.

So Dolgon brought in a red-coated cannon and violently bombarded Datong County, Jiang Hao was not afraid at all, and used the red-coated cannon that the dog tartar fell into his hands to counterattack.

The two sides have been fighting back and forth.

The only thing to worry about is the problem of food and grass in the city, but Qin Zuoming will send troops much earlier than planned.

Therefore, although the Qing army besieged Datong for several months, the grain and grass in the city would definitely survive until Qin Zuoming led the reinforcements to arrive.

Azig stood at the far end of Datong County, he didn't want to be killed by the red-clothed cannons in the city, and took Hauge's old path.

"Three hundred thousand?" Azig frowned and said, "Where did he get so many people?" ”

After all, when the Qing army entered the customs, at most, it was only 100,000 people.

As a result, just one Sichuan, Qin Zuoming can lead 300,000 troops out of Sichuan, this is to go all the way to the east, take Li Zicheng's old road, and sweep Beijing!

The suppression of the Mongol rebellion by Duoduo was not over.

Now Shaanxi He Luohui is only the end of the strong crossbow, and it is a matter of time before it is destroyed.

In addition, there were still remnants of the Ming army in Jiangnan and other places and anti-Qing rebellions in various places, and the Qing court was overstretched.

As for those Ming officials and Dashun troops who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, etc., the suppression of the counterinsurgency was either not contributive, or it was in response to Qin Zuoming and began to rebel and contain the strength of the Qing army.

Kong Youde, one of the kings of Sanshun, saw that someone was rebelling, and the Qing army asked him for help, but he also did not move.

Yingge, the elder brother of Bayan who was captured by Qin Zuoming, married the eighth daughter of Zilharang as his wife.

This time he followed Azig to Shanxi, even if it was to atone for the family.

After all, Li Yongfang was the first border general of the Ming Dynasty to surrender to Houjin.

Bayan did such a war that detrimental the glory of the family, as the eldest son of the family, he had to stand up.

"Prince Qiying, I guess Qin Zuoming has no 300,000 horses."

"Huh?" Azig was a little surprised for a while: "Are you saying that Qin Zuoming doesn't have 300,000 people?" ”

"Yes." As the newly appointed Han Army, Inge is blue flag and Gushan Ezhen, and he hugged his fists slightly:

"This is a false claim of 300,000 troops, and I guess that he has only seven or eight men and horses in his hands, plus the people who transport grain and grass, together with them, there may be 300,000 people.

If Qin Zuoming had 300,000 soldiers, he would have been able to sweep the world long ago.

Shuzhong has been in the midst of war, I listened to those detailed talks, Qin Zuoming pacified Sichuan and Shu, and after annexing the big and small mountains, he did not ask for all their soldiers.

Instead, they eliminated the old and weak, and asked if there was anyone who did not want to be a soldier, and they could divide the land into a household registration to farm. ”

"It's weird."

Azig frowned slightly, as far as he knew, there were many old and weak people in the hands of those Han soldiers who were used to eat empty salaries.

Therefore, I can't wait for many people in the army, even if it is a rabble, to have a light on their faces when they say it.

But Qin Zuoming was different, he actually took the initiative to eliminate the weak soldiers in the army.

"Prince Ying, such a large-scale spread of news, the morale in the city has soared, if our army can't quickly conquer Datong, I'm afraid it will be attacked from front to back."

Inge had a solemn look on his face, after all, the person who could kill Hauge must not be underestimated.

After all, the people who dared to underestimate him all died at the hands of Qin Zuoming.

Yingge came to revive the glory of the family, not to give Qin Zuoming a head.

"I have a red-clothed cannon in the Qing Dynasty, and Jiang Hao also has a red-clothed cannon in the city, there is plenty of grain and grass inside, and strong reinforcements are coming outside, how can I break the city quickly?"

Facing the question raised by Azig, Inge also had a headache, and he thought hard:

"Prince Ying, I have an idea, you can try it, there is no guarantee that you can break the city."

Azig suddenly became excited: "Tell me about it. ”

"The morale in Datong City is high, they all know that Qin Zuoming will lead reinforcements to arrive, so we might as well take advantage of the situation and pretend to retreat.

After they let their guard down, they will suddenly kill them again, and maybe they will be able to break through Datong! ”

The more Inge spoke, the more feasible he felt: "Even if we don't succeed the first time, then we will withdraw the army a second time."

Let out the rumor that Qin Zuoming is really here, and let our people pretend to be Qin Zuoming's people and blend into Datong City.

True or false, make sure that Jiang Jiu will be confused. ”

"Fake withdrawal?"

Azig looked up at the city wall in the distance and thought about it carefully, anyway, he organized many sieges of the city, and they were all repulsed.

If you want to forcibly attack the city, I'm afraid it won't have much effect.

Why don't you give it a try?

"Okay, so be it."

On the second day, the British prince Azig ordered the withdrawal of troops, and at the same time, the Qing troops outside the seven cities began to pack their bags and make a slow withdrawal from Shanxi.

Jiang Hao stood on top of the city and watched the Qing army withdraw from afar.

"Father, when the dog Tartar heard that Qin Dashuai led 300,000 people to attack Shuntian Mansion, he was afraid and wanted to withdraw."

"Dog Tartar scared?" Jiang Hao immediately shook his head and said:

"Something is wrong, they must want to destroy us before Qin Zuoming leads reinforcements to come, occupy the favorable terrain of Shanxi, and prevent Qin Zuoming from entering Beijing."

"Hmph, they want to trick us into letting down our guard and killing another one!"

Jiang Hao held on to the battlements of the city wall and said, "The dog Tartar still wants to play conspiracy with your ancestors, but you are not one!"

Tell me that for seven days no horse shall be sent out to explore horses, and no man shall be allowed to go out of the city.

In the dark night, the soldiers guarding the city and patrolling should be strengthened, and if anyone dares to be lazy, Lao Tzu will cut them in public. ”

"Yes."

Jiang Ran immediately responded, and he didn't want to die before Qin Zuoming led the army to arrive.

Three days have passed, and there has been no movement in Datong County.

The Azig army withdrew a hundred miles away.

Han Junzheng Blue Banner Gushan Ezhen Yingge was also full of doubts: "Prince Ying, it seems that Jiang Hao is afraid that he has seen through our strategy, so he will implement the second step plan." ”

"So far, that's the only way it is."

Azig nodded helplessly, the longer the war dragged on, the worse it would be for the Qing Dynasty.

At night, there were bursts of shouts and killings from the Qing army outside the city, which really made Jiang Hao very happy, and the dog's plan was as expected.

The Qing army wanted to come to raid, but the siege equipment was not fully prepared, and it was a feint, so they retreated after a while.

"Father, now the Qing army has completely withdrawn from Shanxi."

Jiang Meng was a little elated, and the dog Tartar really killed a horse gun.

"Don't be too happy, how can Azig be willing."

Jiang Hao then ordered Ye Bu to go out of the city to find out where the Qing army was, and at the same time to find out where Qin Zuoming's vanguard troops were.

Gao Guosheng was a guerrilla who surrendered to the Qing army, and he had not shaved his hair yet, but now it has finally come in handy.

He was regarded by Prince Ying Azig as Qin Zuoming's vanguard to support Jiang Xuan, and led more than 300 cavalry who had not yet shaved their hair to Datong City.

Jiang Hao was even more overjoyed when he heard that it was the vanguard sent by Qin Zuoming, and the number was small, and he hurriedly wanted to open the door and let him enter the city.

Anyway, even if he was pretended to be by the Qing army, the three hundred people in the city would not be able to make any waves.

"Father, lest there be deception." Jiang Meng whispered: "I remember that there is a code." ”

"Let's let them enter the urn city first." Jiang Hao sneered, just to try the real or fake.

When the Qing army guerrilla Gao Guosheng saw Jiang Hao agreeing to enter the city, he was immediately overjoyed, and whispered to the soldiers around him, so that the brothers were strict-mouthed.

As long as this vote is successful, the future wealth is not just lip service.
