Huang Degong heard Shen Shuren remind him to be careful in pursuing Li Zicheng, and he was a little puzzled for a while, feeling that Shen Futai was too cautious.

In his opinion, Li Zicheng has failed like this, does he dare to jump over the wall in a hurry to fight back?

However, considering Shen Futai's consistent foresight, regardless of whether he understands it or not, Huang Degong still agreed verbally for the time being, saying that he would definitely be careful.

Shen Shuren also turned to Zhang Mingzhen and ordered: "The follow-up trip to Kaifeng has developed waterways. It is also necessary to have the cooperation of Lao Zhang Zongzhen and General Huang, and it is the safest to advance by land and water.

Our army has the advantage of a water division, and the Yingchuan River is wide and easy to walk, so in the past two days, we have cleared all the barrage reefs and hidden piles left by the intruding army, and then advanced along the river, which can ensure that we are invincible. ”

Zhang Mingzhen is not as unruly and fast as Huang Degong, he was not even at the level of a general, so he followed the Shen family, was picked out by Shen Shuren and took him to participate in some battles, and later was promoted to general, deputy general, and general soldier one after another.

Therefore, his degree of gratitude and absolute obedience to the Shen family is even higher than Huang Degong. Whether he understands Shen Shuren's words or not, he strictly implements them, even if it seems that he will delay the fighter, it doesn't matter.

Huang Degong pouted beside him, he was not unconvinced, but he felt that he would miss some opportunities to pursue and destroy the enemy and expand the results of the battle.

If you want to destroy these reef fortifications left by Li Zicheng and open up the waterways before leaving, won't you delay for two more days! I have been biting each other's tails and chasing how cool it is!

And only Shen Shuren himself knows what he is worried about - in history, during Li Zicheng's three attacks on Kaifeng, there was a flooding incident of the Yellow River. Although the situation has changed so much now, who knows if there will be a chance to break the levee again?

As long as he knows that Li Zicheng's human scale dares to dig the Yellow River when necessary, this is enough, and he can't gamble on the rest.

Because even if Li Zicheng no longer needs to dig the Yellow River to flood the city, he can still rely on digging the Yellow River to block the enemy's pursuit - this use of the Yellow River has also been done by people in later history, and even if Li Zicheng does it, it is nothing more than a little embellishment of Chang Kaishen's deeds.

Let Huang Degong always follow the warship and advance together, so as to avoid the drowning of the official and military pursuers to the greatest extent.

As for delaying the pursuit because of this, Shen Shuren was not too worried.

Because Shen Shuren's primary purpose in beating Li Zicheng was to ensure that Li Zicheng was beaten and feared, and to dig out the seed in his heart that "southerners are not good at fighting, and they are very rich and worthy of killing and robbing", forcing Li Zicheng to dare to develop in the north.

Secondly, it is to give Chongzhen an explanation.

Therefore, as long as Li Zicheng is beaten away, Shen Shuren will not mind killing fewer people. Anyway, this is something that Chongzhen and Sun Chuanting should worry about, and from now on, until Chongzhen dies, Li Zicheng will no longer be a trouble for Shen Shuren.

And what Shen Shuren expects most is obviously that Li Zicheng, Sun Chuanting, and Chongzhen can quickly divide the victory and defeat, and try to break the matter with as few dead people as possible, and then it is best for him to resist a little more than the same period in history.

No matter how many people die in the civil war of the Han people, it is meaningless, and the purpose of the civil war is only to stop the war. The most perfect state, of course, is to let the northern Han people who originally need to die in battle try to die in the battle with the Tartars.

So at this point, Shen Shuren's position is actually slightly different from Huang Degong and Zhang Mingzhen, and he doesn't need to explain, as long as he uses the excuse of "prudence and prudence" to prevaricate the past first, so that they don't understand and have to ensure implementation.

In the end, when the dust settles, they will thank themselves.

……

The night after the battle, everyone was tired, so they didn't talk about any more military plans.

Shen Shuren drank a few bowls of spirits with Huang Degong very face-savingly, and then everyone from all walks of life arranged their own rest. As for the reward after the victory, the medal of celebration, of course, will not be pulled down, but there is no hurry.

Early the next morning, the officers and troops organized manpower to begin to dismantle the various obstacles built by the intrusive army on the section of the Yingchuan River south of Chen County.

Moreover, while the troops were actually carrying out water conservancy renovations, Shen Shuren pretended to be "temporary" when he inspected his subordinates to dismantle the cofferdam of the intruding army, and just thought of a possibility, so he casually reminded kindly:

"From what the intrusive army did on both sides of the Yingchuan River, it is not difficult to see that Li Zicheng did not hesitate to barrage the river and build a weir in order to win the battle, and even obstructed and forced the river to be diverted to achieve his military goals.

If Li Zicheng wants to block the enemy and prevent us from pursuing, it is entirely possible to break the embankment and harm our army, so we must be more cautious and cautious when advancing by land and water, and the two armies must not be disconnected. ”

After Huang Degong and Zhang Mingzhen heard this, they were also quite surprised, and said in unison: "Li Zicheng is not so mad that he is like this, right?" ”

Shen Shuren spread his hands helplessly: "I hope not, be careful." ”

Zhang Mingzhen was a little unbearable, and discussed in a discussion tone: "Is it possible to march in a hurry to stop him from doing this?" If we delay here for an extra day or two, wouldn't it give Li Zicheng more opportunities to do it? ”

Shen Shuren shook his head: "If you really want to dig up the Yellow River embankment, how much time will it take?" No matter how fast or slow we go, as long as Li Zicheng makes this determination, it is impossible to stop it.

Instead of being in a hurry, it is better to be fully prepared, plan and then act, for example, before going, prepare more boats, so that even if the Yellow River floods, more boats can save a little more people. ”

Zhang Mingzhen was silent for a long time, and sighed: "It can only be like this, it is best that Li Zicheng will not be so crazy." ”

Shen Shuren: "Then you prepare well here, I will leave today, first bring some guards and pro-army back to Xinyang, meet King Lu and King Fu, and then think about it in the long run." You should be able to handle the war here. ”

Huang Degong and Zhang Mingzhen all bowed their hands to send them off, and at the end of the day, Zhang Mingzhen suddenly remembered a military situation that he forgot to report last night, and added to Shen Shuren:

"Shen Futai, the last general remembered a news he got a few days ago, which was obtained by your cousin, Zhang Huangyan, the prefect of Jingzhou, and conveyed it through General Liu Guoneng.

In fact, the news was sent to Xinyang and other places four days ago, and I asked the general to convey it to you, but because Chen County was besieged, the waterway and grain road were cut off, and the internal and external news was not connected, so I forgot to say it. ”

When Shen Shuren fought the decisive battle yesterday, he could make an appointment with Zhang Mingzhen and Huang Degong to meet the time, and there was only one or two hours before and after to rush to the battlefield, which was because the last time Shen Lian, Li Yu and others sent food into the city, they had made an appointment in advance.

And after Shen Lian entered the city for the last time, before yesterday's decisive battle, there was indeed five or six days of "offline time" in the middle. Therefore, Zhang Mingzhen said that the latest information sent to Xinyang Mansion four days ago was not known to Shen Shuren for a while, and it was not surprising.

Shen Shuren didn't care, since the other party didn't say it last night, it was definitely not very important news, he just asked Zhang Mingzhen to speak slowly with a pleasant face.

Zhang Mingzhen handed over his hand and carefully reported the report: "Governor Zhang's mansion came to report four days ago, saying that seven or eight days before, the scouts he sent observed that the last stubborn remnants of Zhang Xianzhong's defenders left in Zigui and Wuxian County had changed.

Originally, in August, Sun Kewang had already withdrawn most of Zhang Xianzhong's troops in Zigui and Wuxian counties, and went south to join Zhang Xianzhong in Xiangxi, and the number of thieves in these two counties was greatly reduced, from more than 30,000 at the beginning to only a few thousand.

But the last thousands of people did not leave, as if they felt that the food, materials, and mountains and fields in Wuxian County and Zigui and other places could still feed thousands of soldiers.

So Sun Kewang commanded a captain, and he had the idea of standing on his own mountain, he was originally ordered by Sun Kewang to cut off, and then withdraw after the friendly troops withdrew, and finally relied on the delay in retreating.

However, this situation only lasted for about a month and a half, and more than ten days ago, the scouts of Governor Zhang's mansion found that the Zigui thief army had moved again, and withdrew more than half of it, and the scene was chaotic.

Governor Zhang suspected that Zhang Xianzhong's army must have made a breakthrough in other directions and obtained a more fertile base area, so he made up his mind to transfer the whole army. Governor Zhang was quite bold, so he personally led the Yiling soldiers left by the former governor of Fang to attack against the current to try to recover Wuxian and Zigui.

In the end, he really succeeded in a sneak attack, and annihilated the slowest Zhang Xianzhong's troops nine days ago, captured one or two thousand people, and recovered these two counties, which should have been the fifth day of November.

After the recovery of the two counties, Governor Zhang also opened up the waterway route through the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and Shuzhong, so he immediately sent dozens of light fast sentinel ships to personally lead the team to explore the way against the current. After two days of sailing, on the seventh day of the first month, they approached the Fengjie White Emperor City garrisoned by the Sichuan army.

The Sichuan army stationed in Fengjie was 20,000 white-pole soldiers under the command of Qin Liangyu, the chief soldier of Shizhu, arranged by Shao Jiechun and Governor Shao. When Governor Zhang's sentinel fleet approached Qutang Gorge, General Qin also sent people to strictly investigate and confirm that it was a friendly army before letting him enter the city for a meeting.

As a result, after meeting with the general soldiers of Qin, Governor Zhang learned why Zhang Xianzhong's remnants in Wuxian and Zigui were in a hurry to detour south and go elsewhere - Zhang Xianzhong had been dormant and infiltrated in Xiangxi and Guizhou for more than two months.

Finally, on October 26, he entered Banzhou (Zunyi) in southern Sichuan from Tongren Mansion in Qianzhong, and then went down the Chishui River from Banzhou into the Yangtze River, arrived in the hinterland of southern Sichuan, and besieged Chongqing downstream!

From Banzhou to Chongqing, Zhang Xianzhong only took five days, and the siege began on the second day of the first day of November, Chongqing was empty, the defenders were caught off guard, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and they were broken by Zhang Xianzhong in a few days. The general soldiers of Fengjie Qin got the news and knew that when something happened in the hinterland behind him, Chongqing had been broken.

When Governor Zhang's mansion arrived, General Qin was planning to reorganize his soldiers and horses, go up the Yangtze River, and go back to fight against Zhang Xianzhong. But after Governor Zhang learned of the situation, he persuaded her not to act rashly for the time being.

Anyway, Chongqing has been lost, and Qin's general soldiers only have 20,000 white pole soldiers, many of whom are newly recruited, and they are not the elite of the lineage who have fought for many years.

Governor Zhang made his own opinion, saying that he would report to you immediately, saying that you are anxious for justice and righteousness, jealous and hateful, and hateful to Zhang Xianzhong's dog thief, and maybe he will be willing to give reinforcements to General Qin.

Governor Zhang also explained to General Qin, saying that he had heard that General Qin had urged Governor Shao to divide his troops and strictly guard the dangerous places in the mountains of Sichuan, not only to guard Qutang Gorge in the White Emperor City, but Governor Shao did not listen and felt that the troops were insufficient and could only focus on defense, which caused today's disaster. Let Qin Zongbing not worry about the court condemning crimes, and must not be reckless because of fear of crime.

After listening to the repeated persuasion of Governor Zhang, General Qin calmed down, so he repaired a letter and asked Governor Zhang to send it to Lord Futai to ask for help on behalf of the soldiers and people in Sichuan. ”

Zhang Mingzhen said, and asked people to find a letter of help sent by Qin Liangyu through Zhang Huangyan. It was impossible for this letter to be delivered faster, and there was no difference between taking it out last night and taking it out this morning, and it was impossible for Shen Shuren to deal with this matter overnight last night anyway.

After Shen Shuren heard this, he was really surprised for a while, and then carefully looked at Qin Liangyu's letter asking for help, and said after careful consideration:

"Zhang Xianzhong's failure to eliminate the evil was caused by my slow attack, and I am also responsible for a certain amount. But now that the emperor's order is in my body, it is not good for me to personally dispatch troops to immediately reinforce Qin's general army.

What's more, the battle against Li Zicheng here still needs the last five or six days of sweeping and staking to recover the surroundings of Kaifeng. The only way to do this is to prepare first, and transfer the troops on the second line who can already rest and recuperate back to Jingzhou and Yiling Mansion, or go out to Zigui in Wuxian County to prepare for Sichuan.

The final order still has to wait for the will of the imperial court, and we can't use the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to arbitrarily give and accept each other. But I'll reply first to reassure Mr. Qin, when she wrote to me for help, she should have sent someone to the capital to report an urgent request at the same time, right? When my men are mobilized, the will should come down.

I'll fix another book here, and send someone to the capital to send it urgently to Uncle Fang Kongzhi Fang Shi, who is still helping to explore the operation in the capital. Let him also urge people from the side, and persuade the close ministers around His Majesty to divide their troops as soon as possible to rescue Sichuan. General Qin lacked connections in the capital, and her letter for help went through the normal process of the military department, so I am afraid that it would not be approved so quickly. We're going to help you push it, so you don't miss it. ”

Zhang Mingzhen and the others saw that Lord Futai handled it properly, so they didn't say anything more, and they went to fulfill their duties without mentioning it.

Shen Shuren didn't think much about it, and after thinking about it for a while, he wrote a secret letter to Fang Kongzhi in one go, and explained everything that should be explained, and then found a confidant subordinate, brought a group of escort cavalry, and immediately sent him to the capital in an expedited detour.

——

PS: A little bit of explanation and analysis of yesterday's content. Some people feel sorry for Li Guo's death, because Li Guo has resisted the Qing Dynasty in history. But what I want to say is that under Li Zicheng, there are more than one generals who later resisted the Qing Dynasty in history, and if you want to be convinced and change the evil and return to the right in the future, you can completely rely on others.

In history, Li Guo was able to give in, an important factor is that Li Zicheng died in the hands of the local township brave armed forces in vain, not at the hands of the official army of the Southern Ming Dynasty, so he found a step for the two sides to resolve part of the hatred.

But in my book, it is definitely impossible to let Li Zicheng die at the hands of such a small person - in history, Li Zicheng went south to fight Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Liangyu ran away, so he died at the hands of Xiaoxiao. But in this time and space, could Shen Shuren be as cowardly and run away as Zuo Liangyu?

I don't want spoilers, so I'm just talking about the character design, talking about the position, and not much else, I just say that the protagonist swears not to run.

In addition, many people have always excused Li Zicheng's traitor attributes, in order to attract fans, in order to make money, all kinds of whitewashing. I have poor grades anyway, and if I were to lie for money, it would be impossible.

Therefore, it is impossible for me to let any of Li Zicheng's blood relatives lead the remnants of the army in the future. The relationship between Li Guo and Li Zicheng is different from the relationship between Li Dingguo and Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo's historical credit is much greater than Li Guo's, and Li Dingguo has no blood relationship with Zhang Xianzhong.

I'll just say one thing - under what circumstances did Li Zicheng in the first year of Hongguang go south? It was because he couldn't fight with the Qing army, so he wanted to fight Nanming and Zuo Liangyu to grab land, money, food, and population. This is a typical "foreign war can not be fought, take the initiative to provoke a larger-scale national civil war", in contrast, at that time, although the Southern Ming Dynasty had the slogan of uniting the capture of the Pingkou, but in fact did not have the ability to go on the Northern Expedition, but only held their own territory.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to say that Li Zicheng has the historical sin of "further provoking and expanding the Han civil war when the Tartars have already entered the customs". Before Chongzhen died, he fought the Ming Dynasty, this is no problem, this is a peasant war, but Chongzhen is dead, the Tartars have been fighting with him for so long, he doesn't want to push the Tartars back and wants to go south to burn and loot, this is not a traitor, what is this?

Some people may say, "What's wrong with him running away if he can't fight, he just happens to be in the north, why should he be asked to carry the tartar", then I will say: Before Chongzhen died, Chongzhen had always been carrying the damage of the two-sided attack, and if Chongzhen didn't carry the damage of the two-sided attack, maybe he wouldn't be able to die.

Since he wants to rob Beijing and kill Chongzhen, he should be responsible for that position, and after he gets to that position, he will continue to expand the civil war instead of resisting the Qing Dynasty, which is a traitor.

What's more, his situation is much better than Chongzhen, Chongzhen is really attacked from two sides, and Nanming to the south of Li Zicheng is at most just sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and he has no strength to attack him.

On the issue of national integrity, Chongzhen is at least a hundred times stronger than Li Zicheng. Chongzhen's garbage is garbage for self-use, to save face, and to shirk responsibility and kill ministers indiscriminately, but Chongzhen's national integrity is absolutely no problem, Chongzhen would rather die than admit this point for the rest of his life, and die to die and die to martyr the country, which is very difficult.

For the sake of political correctness and in order to absorb peasant army powder consumption, many people beautify it as long as it is a peasant army.

He can only say that Li Zicheng has no problem in terms of class resistance, but he has problems in the overall national righteousness, and the national character and the class character are two issues, and whether the class character is just or not has nothing to do with the national character justice or not.

It's a complicated world, so why is it necessary to make it "good guys are thoroughly good guys, and bad guys are downright bad guys"? Nationally they are bad people, and class people are good people, and the two dimensions of investigation are not good or bad?
