Chapter 496: Horse Harrier

In the morning, the newborn sun was rising, 30,000 guards in bright armor lined up outside the noon gate of Nanjing Dongcheng, the royal carriage had slowly come, Wang Qiu immediately hurried over to greet him, there was no complicated ceremony, let alone too many passwords, and the eunuch shouted loudly: "Departure." ”

"All in the car." For the four-lane side by side of the gallop a vehicle began to have the Ming army according to the number of each team on the car, this kind of large car compartment is extremely long, can accommodate ten people, if not because of the limited horsepower, I am afraid that the space will be designed longer.

"Forward." The herald on horseback began to shout the command incessantly.

More than two thousand carriages were immediately activated, and the grooms began to speed up with their whips, and the sound of crunching wheels crushing the road was heard on the road.

Zhu Jun's chariot was in the middle, guarded by a hundred knights on both sides, and Wang Qiu followed behind the chariot on horseback, waiting for orders at any time.

Every thirty miles, there were local prefectures and counties that supplied good food, so there was no need to carry dry food on the road, and the grain from the war had already been transported to the city of Hankou in the north of the Yangtze River.

Zhu Jun took a deep breath, the time of the stall has finally arrived, it only takes four days to travel from Nanjing to Wuchang if it is an express train, but because the army is dispatched, the speed is not fast, so it takes almost ten days, ten days later, the Guards Corps will arrive in Wuchang, and then begin to cross the river, where the major armies have already met, ready to launch the largest battle of the Ming Dynasty, according to intelligence, the Manchurian and Mongolian elites in Beijing have come out, and the green battalions of Jiangbei provinces have begun to assemble, the only thing that interests Zhu Jun is, Shaanxi's Wang Fuchen seems to be a little weird, the spies of Beizhen Fusi have already gotten the news, although Kangxi has ordered Wang Fuchen to lead the Pingliang cavalry eastward, but Wang Fuchen has no intention of moving the nest, this news made Beizhen Fusi excited for a long time, and immediately decided to contact Wang Fuchen Wang Fuchen's attitude is extremely ambiguous, if he is about to leave, it seems that he has not made up his mind, and he is still hesitating.

Wang Fuchen's state was immediately presented to Zhu Jun's hands, Zhu Jun naturally would not refuse to let the Manchus have one less helper and one more enemy, Wang Fuchen may have already seen the situation in front of him, the defeat of the Manchus is imminent, he Wang Fuchen is not an idiot and naturally does not want to accompany the Manchus to burn jade, Wang Fuchen was originally the Ming army of Datong, and then rebelled with the Shanxi Datong guards, and then took refuge in the Manchus, and became a member of Wu Sangui's subordinates In the past ten years, he has defected to the Ming army, the peasant army, the Qing army, and Wu Sangui's department. Since he is unwilling to die with the Manchurians, Zhu Jun's guess is that this guy obviously wants to sell at a price, hoping to sell himself and tens of thousands of Pingliang cavalry at a good price.

Shaanxi is different from other provinces, when Wu San mixed in Yunnan, not only controlled the Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, but also the surrounding provinces are mostly his trusted governors, Wang Fuchen is one of them, the entire Pingliang military system, more than half of the generals are Wu Sangui Guanning cavalry background, so compared with the green battalions in the provinces, Wang Fuchen is more independent, and the combat ability of the Liang cavalry is naturally not much higher than the green battalions in the provinces.

Now that the war is imminent, since Wang Chen wants to wait for the price and sell it, Zhu Jun is not stingy with a high price, he immediately sent Qin Cha to Shaanxi with enough benefits, intending to envelop this northwest 'horse harrier'. ’

Pingliang is located at the foot of Longshan Mountain. It is 300 miles east to Xifu. Four hundred miles west to Jincheng Mansion. To the north is a large plateau that is half farming and half pasture. To the south is a complex and varied mountainous terrain. The city is located in the middle of the Jing River Road. It is a thoroughfare between east and west, and the Silk Road is to rush. If you hold the cool and flat. Then you can use Longshan as a barrier. Firmly guard the last gateway to the Guanzhong Plain. If you lose the coolness. So. The enemy from the west is the high mountain of Lema. Look at the plain. Swing Guanzhong. Suffocate the national vein. Change hands and reshape. So there is this saying. Longyou rule Guanzhong. Longyou chaos is disturbed. In the Han Dynasty, the name of the county was "stability". As a springboard for offensive and defensible warfare. Pingliang is an excellent place for any regime that cannot but seriously consider the key business areas.

Pingliang is not a big city. However, due to continuous reinforcement and repairs with the help of mountainous terrain. Absolutely the strongest fortress in Shaanxi. Over here. 30,000 Pingliang cavalry were stationed here. And Wang Fuchen is in the governor's mansion. But it ushered in a wave of guests. The first to come was the envoy of Daniel Zhang, the governor of Gansu.

Daniel Zhang is a native of Yangxian County, Shaanxi. Courage. Adjutant general at the end of the Ming Dynasty. In the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Prince Azig was the second teacher of Jiujiang. Daniel Zhang surrendered. Awarded to guerrilla generals. Shunzhi for three years.

From the university scholar Hong Chengchou marched into Guizhou to break the southern Ming capital to supervise Luo Dashun. Xuan moved from Anyuan Jingkou General Doni to Yunnan.

Defeated the remnants of the Western Army's generals, Bai Wenxuan. Next year. Governor of Jiazo. Eighteen years. Moved to Yunnan Governor. Kangxi two years. Take Daniel Zhang Jiuzhen Gansu. Prestige. The life was returned to Gansu.

The entire Northwest now has only two military forces. One is Wang Fuchen's land flat and cool iron horse. One was Daniel Zhang's Longlong Right Cavalry. Kangxi has made up his mind to fight to the death. Naturally, he also issued a will to Daniel Zhang. Let him pour out of the nest and prepare to assemble in the Central Plains. Daniel Zhang's right cavalry was located in Gansu. And Wang Fuchen's cavalry was stationed in Pingliang City, which just blocked Daniel Zhang's tunnel. Logically. Wang Fuchen was also supposed to send troops eastward. But this guy didn't mean to send troops. He also blocked the road of Daniel Zhang's Longyou cavalry. What's going on? Daniel Zhang immediately became angry. On the one hand, he sent someone to report to the imperial court. On the other hand, he naturally sent someone to ask Wang Fuchen what he meant.

Wang Fuchen is more than forty years old, his body is very tough, and he warmly received the envoy from Gansu in the governor's mansion, but as soon as he talked about the eastward assembly mentioned in the holy decree, Wang Fuchen's words immediately flickered, in short, it was just a sentence, you have to wait and talk, and the subordinates are not ready.

The envoy said again, since this is the case, then Admiral Wang should open the city gate and let Longyou's soldiers and horses go over to assemble.

Wang Fuchen still shook his head, the meaning is clear, if the brother doesn't leave, don't think about it.

The envoy immediately became angry, what kind of thing, he didn't go, but after that, he said unintentionally: "Is the admiral going to rebel?" ”

At this time, Wang Fuchen's attitude was worth playing, he did not refuse immediately, but smiled slightly: "Mr. should go back and tell Daniel Zhang, let him wait, there will be news in two days." ”

The envoy left angrily, and although Daniel Zhang under the city was annoyed, he did not dare to show his sword, after all, how to say that both of them were the commanders of the Qing Dynasty, although Wang Fuchen had the intention of rebellion, but did not say that he rebelled, and the imperial court did not issue a will for Daniel Zhang to suppress the rebellion, and Daniel Zhang could only endure helplessly, camped under the city, and waited for news from Wang Fuchen.

Sent away the envoy from Gansu, but a person came out of Wang Fuchen's living room, he was quite similar to Wang Fuchen's eyebrows, but he was obviously much younger, only in his twenties.

"Zhen'er, sit down and talk." Wang Fu picked up the tea cup and blew the tea foam, his face looked very calm.

"Father, Daniel Zhang won't turn his eyes back?" It was Wang Jizhen, the eldest son of Wang Fuchen, who had been in Beijing for a few years, and had only rushed back to Pingliang City seven or eight days ago.

Wang Fuchen sneered: "Daniel Zhang has always been on good terms with me, but he doesn't dare to turn his face." ”

Wang Jizhen sighed lightly: "Father, what is the emperor's secret decree about?" ”

Although Wang Jizhen brought Kangxi's secret decree, but the secret decree was sealed with wax and only shown to Wang Fuchen, so although Wang Jizhen almost broke his leg, he still doesn't know the content of the secret decree, but his father's behavior in the past few days has been very strange, which made him curious.

Wang Fuchen took a leisurely sip of tea before saying slowly: "The emperor asked me to surrender." ”

"Surrender?" Wang Jizhen took a breath of cool air, stared incredulously at this father who once dominated the northwest, and then said, "Could it be a fake surrender?" ”

"Don't ask if you don't know something, my emperor is very wise, this trick is really ruthless, but after the matter is completed, the emperor promised to give our Wang family the title of a vassal king, Yongzhen Shaanxi." Wang Fuchen's eyes lit up, and when he said the word Shaanxi, his hands couldn't help but tremble, the treatment of the vassal king was enough for him Wang Fuchen's heart, what kind of power was Wu Sangui back then? He Wang Fuchen has been coveting it for a long time, and now he has seized an opportunity.

Wang Jizhen couldn't help but feel warm, his father is a vassal king, isn't he a son? This is something that many people can't cultivate in a few lifetimes, and he immediately became confident: "Does Daniel Zhang from Gansu need to know about this matter?" Even if it's a fake fall, I always know that there will be a sound, otherwise it will ........."

Wang Fuchen has waved his hand: "What do you know, the more fake it is, the more realistic it is, and the fake drama has to be real, look at it, Yongli Xiaoer thinks he has the upper hand, and he will suffer at that time." ”
